The Seed Burst Forth

The Seed has burst forth. 
The first rays of light shine down on the little seedling 
Gifting promise and life~ endless as the breeze.
Rooted with the earth 
Surrounded by the air 
Reaching for the stars 
This was the awakening that was promised. 
Today growth is one of strength and understanding of what is contained within the stems of life.
The leaves of nature move up and out reaching and expanding in Love.



My Personal Story


The process of growing from seed to seedling is complete. The awakening of my soul to a higher level started with a burst of light that literally cracked open at the base of my spine- the root chakra- and shot up through the central meridian for just a few quick seconds. Awakening in the physical can be painful and this moment was no exception. The soul awoke in the physical body and left me in pieces for days. The pain was strong. It was hot then ice cold. I could feel the ripples of this light slowly moving from the central point out into my legs, torso, and then arms and head. I used Reiki to heal the initial pain and shock. Then healthy doses of prayer and requests for Divine Grace for the integration. I quickly sought Alternative forms of Medicine to assist with the realignment of my back and pelvis. More came out of these visits which has healed me even deep in new areas that also needed assistance and healing. My first kundalini initiation was complete.

I was a new small seedling, I was vulnerable and delicate. I needed lots of water and fresh food. Lacking sunlight here in the Pacific Northwest I sought out foods to stimulate me in the ways my body was craving. I grew a stronger connection with my body as my soul filled itself in spaces it had never occupied before. As the physical body issues started to reach the new level of wholeness my body prepare for the next step upward.

I cleansed and detoxed the natural way my body requested and then received the next upgrade needed. I went through a molecular upgrade. At the core of every atom in my body I released the old patterns of eons of lifetimes. Lower vibrational energies that no longer could hold space in a body coming into its new form. This process appears on the outside to be an illness. A cold with a mind of its own. Initially my body told me 72 hours of release. I drank lots of water and stayed focus on the outcome and ignored the physical pain that was burning through me. This process was like the initial wave of light I felt at the awakening. The difference was it burned slowly at each phase of release. It would sit in different spots within and then move like a wave to another space that needed focus. I ran fevers, had chills, and felt exhausted while releasing all I could with all my heart. While sleeping on the 3rd night  I was feeling the lift of energy change within and I made a conscious choice to try and clear the block that has been lodged in my throat chakra my whole life. This healing process was more centralized in the throat and heart chakra areas affecting me physically in my throat and lungs. This release was different and more difficult as I was working on a deep seated karmic energy that wasn't willing to leave quietly. Four days later the pain lifted however I still choke up and feel the energy still attempting to hold on while the cellular level of my body try to dislodge and release. I will continue to work on my healing of this area.

The last of the healing within has been less resistant to change and more flowing of the light- these are the dreams and memories of all my lifetimes contained within. They come to me in the dream state most often although they have also been released in visions and strange memories that are triggered by outside experience in my daily life.

The connection and awakening of the third chakra has grown into a new awareness of food and digestion. I am not able to eat anything that my body doesn't want or crave. This meaning- my brain may want that yummy looking cupcake my daughters are having but my body does not. The disconnect- my programmed ego brain and my digestive system- is a  much needed change. It helps to guide me to what my nutritional needs may be at that moment. Needs that may change as my body continues to shift and grow.



The Flowering


The awakening of a soul in this new paradigm is not always for the faint of heart. It requires Faith and lot of Love for self and the process. I find myself in a new body that seems lighter (I haven't actually lost a pound) and more centered in the knowing. The next steps forward still remain in front of me hiding behind a fog of light. My focus still remains on clearing up any remaining loose ends that still need to be lifted up and out. This is the time for growing strong and understanding what it is that I am awakened to do in this cycle and all the cycles to follow.



We are the Divine Light. We are the Universe. We are LOVE.

Awakening the Soul

Springs Mid-Point~ Beltane

We have reached the mid-point of Spring. Known as the Festival of Beltane in esoteric traditions. It is the celebration of Spring, of early life sprouting from the ground, blessing of the livestock and fields that are yet to be sowed. Fire is the energy most associated with Beltane. Jumping the fire to cleanse the self and soul of any remaining energies from the year past so the summers glow can be entered into with purity.

From this ancient knowledge and wisdom enter into the knowing that within each breath we are celebrating the early sprouting of the seeds of life contained within us. This fire energy is very much alive within us and around us in the Universe. Its cleansing its way through our being and asking only that we bare our soul and witness the clearing with an open heart.

This sacred time is about opening, clearing, healing, and connecting with the Third Chakra also know as the Solar Plexus. The third chakra is located above the navel in the center of the belly and is most associated with the digestive organs. This is the last of the chakras that ask us to find ourselves and honor the self above all others. This is the place where the soul connects with the physical body and outwardly shines its light into the world. Start connecting to this sacred space by asking what makes you the shining star that lights the world? How are you bringing love into the world and what is the world seeing from you? Our 'gut' instincts or intuition can most often be felt in this region when you first start becoming aware of your personal power and knowledge. The Earth Mother energy and the Solar/Universal energy mix and combine to fuel your being in this sacred space contained within you.  When sitting with this energy and feeling from this sacred space you can feel the truth and love that is contained within from all levels of being. We can sense our connection to all that is by simpling being here and breathing in to the rhythms of the earth and soul energy fields combining as one. Its time to concentrate on values. What means the most, what can you shift to make better and how can you honor your self through all this? This is also the last chakra that aligns with the physical body. It rules the digestive systems and all their functions. Think food and cleanse. Water intake and clearing of the systems that keep us in balance and provide us the nutrition we need to maintain homeostasis within the physical body. We can't live without these wonderful organs. Honor them by following their needs. Listen within this sacred place and hear what they are asking for when nutrition is needed. Sit before eating or gathering food from the store or garden and hear what your craving. Your body knows what it needs and listening is the first step in honoring these wonderful organs of strength and vitality. Also notice as you connect if you sense any anger or anxiety in this area. This sacred space is one of personal power so anger or anxiety will accumulate here and when not released properly will manifest into digestive issues on the physical level. The soul lives in the heart but grounds in the Solar Plexus. It is vital we open to its strength. Honor its functions both physically and emotionally.

We have been baring witness to self so we can prepare to enter into the summer where we will start working on our higher chakra systems. We have under gone a Galactic Awakening of the Physical Body in connection to the souls desires. Soon will be the time for a Galactic Awakening of the Soul working and living within the body on the souls terms. For some this summer is a time of Kundalini awakening- a beautiful process of awakening the serpent within. The initiation of a lifetime. For others this summer is about purging and renewal. To continue to utilize the powerful star alignments that are being presented before us this summer we must first complete our own personal physical and emotional cleanse of the first three chakras. Facing the deep rooted issues that are contained within us now helps for the big step forward that will crystallize through the June - July eclipse series and summer solstice crossing point. Our hearts will be broken wide open- yes even more than ever before. Our seeds of life within will begin to bare the fruits of all our labors and we will start to grow in the strength of the Super Galactic Love that radiates with the Summer Solstice Sun.

This is a most sacred time and I am honored beyond words to continue this passage with each of you. We are only as weak and strong as our fears and love allow us to be. Today and through this next phase honor the weak by shining light on the fear and filling it with the endless love that is contained within you and blessed upon you with each and every breath.

Namaste,
Leah
