Rise Above

Every challenge of the past week has asked me to rise above the situation and see it from a new perspective. Things really aren't the way they appear, or rather I should say, the way they appeared. My old thought patterns of "expect the worst" and "everything is a battle" were confronted with a new mosaic this week: things will work out with ease and grace if I stay in the moment and stay positive.

I was conditioned to believe that life is hard from past experiences, family, and past lives. Notice I used the word "past" twice. The past is past and the way we lived and our beliefs are also passe. We are literally creating our experiences in real time now. We have always been co-creators of our reality but the lag time between our thoughts and heart desires and their manifestation was so large, we couldn't see the connection. All of that has changed now and we can't miss the connection or synchronicity.

Synchronicity is increasing. All we need do is pay attention and we will see it everywhere. A couple of weeks ago, I had a line of the song "Landslide" playing in my head. I turned on my car radio and the exact line played in its entirety. What are the odds of that? Let's start doing the math: take the number of radio stations I could have tuned into and multiply that by the number of songs that could play on any of those stations. I think you get the idea. Or that a friend of mine, who lives 2500 miles away, went to a pre-scheduled dental appointment at the same time I went to an emergency dental appointment on the same day for issues on the same tooth? It is undeniable that we are all connected and live in an interwoven web of consciousness that we can finally tune into. Our frequency has sufficiently increased to catch Source's signal. That's huge. That's life-changing. That means we can now use our hardwired connection to Source from our hearts and download our desires with a high speed internet connection!

In the blink of an eye, we can change our world and our perception of it. We can manifest our heart's deepest desires more easily. Our biggest challenge now is to watch our thoughts and to be centered in our hearts - our connection to Source. Ask what your heart desires more than anything. Take a couple steps in that direction, stay positive, and watch the Universe respond in ways you never thought possible...until now!

"To Thy Own Self Be True" - Especially Now!

Life can make you crazy. Let's face it. Things are pretty messed up right now - people shooting people for no apparent reason, freak accidents, and weird weather, not to mention the influx of charged particles from our sun and the galaxy. The intensity of the energy bombarding all of us is increasing and we see the effects of it all around and within us.

Even those "on their path" can occasionally get lost. Take me for example. I veered so far from my path that I completely lost my way for a while. It happens to the best of us. All we can do is stop and get back on track without self-judgement. Easier said than done.

Shakespeare was right. We must be true to ourselves above all else. That still small voice can get pretty still and very faint at times. Our hearts may not be sending the clear signals we were used to. After all, all of us are being bombarded by high frequency energy while the earth's magnetic field is decreasing. Even Scotty can't increase our shields enough to protect us from this barrage. It's enough to make us want Scotty to beam us up at times! So how do we tune into to our hearts while immersed in galactic static? 

In my book, Hardwired to Heaven, I provide a meditation to help us remove the static charge around us and bring us back into balance. It is a useful tool during these challenging times. Here is my meditation for dissipating and balancing energy:

1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, arms out at your sides, and with your palms facing up.
2. As you inhale, imagine feminine energy entering your left palm and continuing through your left arm to your heart. Feminine energy (yin) includes allowing, receiving, nurturing, passivity, intuiting, unconditional love, and creative imagination.
3. At the right palm, imagine masculine energy entering and traveling through your right arm into your heart, where it meets and crosses at the sacred coordinate [a special place near the center of your heart] and continues up into the brain. Masculine energy (yang) includes acting, giving, inner strength, courage, and rational left brain activities.
4. The masculine energy now enters the left hemisphere of the brain while feminine energy enters the right hemisphere, each of which is their respective homes, since each hemisphere controls the opposite side of the body. As the energy continues to the crown, hold your breath for a moment and visualize the two energies crossing paths, producing an arc of neutrality.
5. As the energies continue through the brain, [down the neck] and into the heart (where they become balanced) exhale, expelling all the air in your lungs as you visualize the energy moving down through your spine, through your legs, into your feet, and finally into the ground to literally ground the energy.
6. Continue the meditation until you feel more balanced and at a peace.

Once your energy is clear and balanced (at least for the moment!), bring your attention to your heart and ask it for guidance. Pay attention to how you feel, what you see, what you hear, or what just comes to you. Your heart is connected to the Universal mind. When you follow your heart, you are always on your path. 

As we continue to ride this wild energy, let's remember why this is happening. The energies are helping us to remember and awaken to who we really are so we can truly live Shakespeare's words: "To thy own self be true."

Cosmic Gift

Today is the final Pluto Uranus square in a series of seven that started in 2012. This celestial event will not occur again (thankfully) in our lifetimes. What these two outer powerhouse planets (why isn't Pluto still a planet?) bring us is transformation (Pluto) and awakening (Uranus). The energy of this final square asks us, "What patterns have we not yet purged? What are we still holding on to that no longer serves us?" 

In just a few days, we will also experience a total solar eclipse in the very last degree of Pisces, on a super new moon, just hours away from the vernal equinox. This is one power-packed week. I have been feeling this intensity since last week. It hasn't been pretty. Healing usually isn't. 

Yesterday, I delved deep into my soul and asked why I continue a certain behavior. What I found is that the behavior was passed down from my mother who probably received it from one of her parents and so on. The past patterns of our ancestors can be inherited by subsequent generations unless we are aware enough to identify and change the behavior.

My mother was a perfectionist and she expected no less from her children. No matter what I did, it was never good enough for my mother. "If you got 98, you could have gotten 100 on your report card," she would say. Slowly but surely, I took on the energy of "not good enough" and what comes next? Low self-worth and self-doubt, of course. To counteract this, I created scenarios where I thought I had to do more and be more than anyone else - the quintessential overachiever. I had worried that if I didn't meet my mother's expectations, she wouldn't love me. That was the story I told myself. Eventually, not good enough turned into not worthy of love.

So here I am writing about the heart, the symbol of love, in my book, Hardwired to Heaven: Download Your Divinity Through Your Heart and Create Your Deepest Desires. "Your greatest wound shall be your greatest strength," my astrologer told me years ago when speaking about Chiron. In Greek mythology, Chiron is known as the wounded healer. As I heal my own heart, I am able to heal other hearts.

My journey to the depths of my soul revealed a pearl. It was always there, waiting for me to acknowledge it. My gift. My raison d'etre. I am loved and lovable. We all are for we are never separate from the love that created us. May this week of once-in-a-lifetime energy, bring you a cosmic gift and unearth your pearl. 

2015 - Living Our Heart's Desire

I wasn't surprised when I heard that the most used word in 2014 wasn't a word but the heart symbol also known as an emoji (http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/word-2014-word/story?id=27900799). I wasn't surprised because I had named 2014 the year of the heart back in February (scroll down to read my 2/15/2014 blog). We commonly associate love, compassion, emotion, passion, and joy with the heart. The heart also symbolizes wisdom and intuition, both feminine qualities. What makes the use of the heart emoji so significant is that our focus has changed from head-centered living to heart-centered living. The world has declared the importance of the heart and all it represents.

If 2014 was the year of the heart, 2015 may be known as the year we finally get to live our heart's desire. The heart regains its rightful place as ruler of our souls and destiny. What our heart wants, our heart gets. As each of us follow the promptings of our hearts, we fulfill our role in "heartmonizing" the planet. We create a harmonious new world based on love.

We can't just think our way through the enormous problems this world faces - we must let our hearts lead the way. "What the mind cannot comprehend, the heart already knows" is a quote from my book, Hardwired to Heaven. Our hearts are hardwired to the cosmic intelligence and know more than our brains could ever imagine. The Institute for HeartMath has conducted research to show that our heart receives intuitive information well before our brain. Our heart is really mission control, but we have let our brain, the "space shuttle" of our body, set the course. 2015 will bring major societal and individual course corrections to align us with our heart's truest desires.

The earth has been aligning with the center or "heart" of the galaxy since 1980. This process of passing through the galactic alignment zone will be complete in 2016. It is time for us to align our hearts with the One Heart that beats for all. At the heart of the Universe is a spiraling intelligence called love. This year, we get to tap into the infinite power of the heart and create our deepest desires.

"Tis the Season

'Tis the season to be merry, to be light, and full of light. When I look around, I don't see much merriness. So many people are being asked to go beyond what they thought was their breaking point. "Find the strength inside and know how powerful you are" seems to be this season's motto. 

I recently experienced a version of this myself. My world, as I have know it, is going away - forever. What I thought was my life's purpose painfully vanished and nothing has yet to replace it. This news sent me into a tailspin. Why am I here if I have no purpose? I slowly rose out of this deep dark depression like a deep sea diver, making sure I didn't get the bends on the way up. Looking back at it, I can understand why I went through this dark night of the soul. Why wouldn't I be depressed? My former life is gone. I was grieving for what was. Now, true to this month's real motto, I found the inner strength to pull myself up and begin to look forward to the new life that I am creating. 2015 will look much different than 2014.

I know I am not the only one. In fact, I think the world as we have collectively known it will be forever changed in 2015. This December seems to be heralding in that energy with the hacking of Sony Pictures by North Korea. It is interesting that so many "identities" were stolen. These are prominent public figures whose personal data, including social security numbers, is no longer personal. Is this symbolic of the collective energies of each of us wondering, "Who am I now that my old identity is gone?" What is the future of social security in 2015? Have we entered a new age of social insecurity as absolutely nothing is safe on the internet? Pluto in Capricorn continues to unearth deeply buried secrets and Uranus was square Pluto on December 15th. It's no wonder this is happening now! Let's not forget about the recent protests and riots over alleged police brutality. It is as though the world is a snow globe and the Universe is shaking it to wake us up.

As we continue to feel the aftershocks of societal and personal upheavals, remember this season's motto: you are powerful beyond measure. Find that power within and use it. Rise up, dust yourself off, and be true to the callings of your heart. It is the only true compass in a world that has been turned upside down.

Blood and Consciousness

In a recent interview on the VirtualLight Broadcast about my new book, Hardwired to Heaven, I was asked about consciousness being in the blood. I do believe that wherever light brings information through water, there is consciousness. As I say in my book, "Water is the medium through which the language of light is written." Blood, being 90 per cent water, is able to carry quite a bit of information. Light enters the heart through a special place I call the sacred coordinate and informs the water within the blood located in the heart. This blood, known as "heart-blood," is said to carry the life essence. What is it about blood that makes it so special?

Blood sacrifices were used by the Aztecs to keep the sun moving and by the Israelites to keep the covenant of God with His people. The Maya use a term called "blood lightning" to describe our connection between our physical being and our spiritual being. When we are congruent, one in spirit and body, we feel this in our heart. Perhaps blood lightning originates in that special place in the heart and permeates the heart-blood first. Blood lightning, the vital force that animates consciousness, is also used to describe intuitive knowing or insights that flow through us when we are hardwired to heaven through our heart. It's interesting that the Maya describe this connection with Source as blood lightning. Could they intuitively know that once we follow our heart, our blood is able to carry high frequency light - light that is necessary for the development of our consciousness?

There is speculation that the Holy Grail is the sacred bloodline of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. If this is true, then could this blood contain Christ consciousness? J. J. Hurtak writes in his book, The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch, that consciousness is in the blood and it is the blood that makes us sacred.

Let's look at blood. When we think of blood, we usually think of a red viscous liquid. What makes the blood red? The iron in the hemoglobin molecule within the red blood cell imparts the red color to blood. Just as the earth has an iron core, the core of our sacred red blood cell is iron. In addition, the red blood cell is shaped like a doughnut or torus, just as the unified field is shaped like a torus, since the Universe is holographic. In addition, mature red blood cells lack a nucleus, unlike the majority of the rest of the cells in our body.

Dr. Harvey Bigelsen uses photographs of the blood to assess the health of his patients. He has found images in the blood that look like the part of the body that is, or will soon be, affected. His website has photographs to show this. He believes that our thoughts are mirrored in our blood. The quote from Edgar Cayce "The day may yet arrive when one may take a drop of blood and diagnose the condition of the entire physical body" is at the top of Bigelsen's website. It seems there is an intelligence in the blood. Could it be that the torus-shaped red blood cells have a direct connection to the torus-shaped unified field? After all, it is the form that informs. 

Perhaps the reason why so many have longed to find the Holy Grail is because it holds the keys to our existence. The centuries-old quest to know ourselves as the gods that we are continues. Science, which was once separate from spiritual thought, is now leading the crusade of self-knowledge and self-realization. What was once thought of as spiritual absurdity is now quickly being explained by science. 

We are just beginning to scratch the surface of how our bodies really work and how we are hardwired to heaven. Every cell is a separate conscious being in communication with every other cell and with that which created them. We cannot separate our human physicality from our divinity. As I write in Hardwired to Heaven, "The thread of consciousness is woven into the fabric of all matter. It is through this 'internet' that divine intelligence orchestrates the cosmos." 

Leviticus 17:11 says "For the life of a creature is in the blood and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar, it is the blood that makes atonement for our life." The word "atonement" comes from Middle English, at onement. There is no separation. God/divine consciousness is omnipresent - especially in the blood.

The Sign of the Cross

Today is Earth Day. A day to celebrate Mother Earth and to thank her for all of her gifts. A day to reflect on what our role is in creating a New Earth.

It is also the peak of the Cardinal Grand Cross - a rare astrological event where Pluto in Capricorn is opposed Uranus in Aries and Jupiter in Cancer is opposed Mars in Libra, all forming right angles to each other, or a cross. Every planet will be exactly at thirteen degrees of their respective signs today. 

What is the significance of the number thirteen? For me, thirteen represents the highest octave of energy, the one from which the many originate. There were twelve apostles and Jesus was the thirteenth. The Bible speaks of the twelve tribes of Israel and Israel is the thirteenth (the one out of the many). Did you know that there are thirteen articles of Jewish faith and the thirteenth is resurrection from the dead? Really?! We are still in the energy of Easter when Jesus was resurrected. 

It is as if the hand of God (the one) were making the sign of the cross over Earth, blessing her and her people (the many) with the energy of resurrection. What is being resurrected is our consciousness.

For many of us, the past several years has felt like a slow, painful death as we released the old in every way. It is time to come out from under our bushels and let our light shine. We are the ones we have been waiting for and this is our time. We are called to share our gifts with humanity to seed the resurrected consciousness on the planet so a New Earth can be born.

The gates to heaven are open for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. This is a great turning point for humanity. May we all choose to walk through the gates and create our Heaven on Earth.
