Healing Emotional Turbulence: Blame, shame & spiritual maturity

woman_emotion

I was mulling over how, during intense circumstances, we process and release the emotional energies or physical stress and discomfort we feel related to the intensity. Sometimes we use healthy methods, like yoga, exercise, talking with trusted mentors or chanting. Sometimes we indulge in less-healthy forms of release. Lately I was looking at blame and similar emotions that tend to throw out of our own space those uncomfortable personal emotional energies that build up within us during difficult … [Read more...]

Updating Your Soul’s Journey: What you came here to do has probably changed

woman_walk-2

For most people, psychic gifts need to be relearned in each lifetime. The world is vibrationally distinct in each lifetime -- and so is your physical body. It is only natural that you would have to relearn how to be energetically in relationship to yourself and to the world. This is particularly true about how we relate to our soul's journey and foreknowing future aspects of it. Whatever your soul planned to do here before you incarnated on Earth has probably changed. Especially if you … [Read more...]

De-Emphasizing Fear – Notes on darkness and illumination

fear_woman

In the midst of the accumulating "dark" or introspective energies of the Northern Hemisphere's winter months, I can't help but notice the parallels to our outer world, where fear is being created in greater and greater abundance. But is the creation of fear really happening successfully? Or are enough people seeing this constant Chicken Little "the sky is falling" attitude around events as something else? I am in the midst of wondering about darkness and the role lightworkers and those who … [Read more...]

Finding Balance in Your Life

globe_healing-hands

Healing often happens best not by trying to influence an external person, event or situation, but by looking internally to see why we want to change an external person, event or situation. Identifying our own inner issue that is being brought up and ignited by the external world is the first step in healing it. When we heal something within ourselves, that same motion of healing resonates to the outer world. In this fashion, our outer world changes because we have changed our inner world. But … [Read more...]

Compassion in Healing: Blessing what ails us

contemplate

In our zeal to clarify and heal ourselves, we sometimes forget that what we feel no longer suits us may indeed at one time have been a blessing to us. Releasing any energies or issues is dependent on our ability to truly come into a state of compassion toward whatever we are releasing. Coming into a state of compassion requires a lack of judgment towards ourselves, as well as what we are releasing, and any other people or circumstances related to the energies or issues we are releasing. When … [Read more...]

Settling Back Down into Ease

The sense of urgency and fear that many have felt in the past few months can be talked about in several ways. I would say that Gaia, the soul who has taken on the form of the Earth, has been moving into a higher dimension of energy more closely related to emotions. Our physical bodies rely on her physical form, the Earth, for grounding. Therefore we have felt this same uplifting process. In some ways it is thrilling, and there have been moments of expansion and ecstasy. But it has also been … [Read more...]

Generating Stillness Amidst Chaos

As I write this I feel like I am standing in a doorway, swaying back and forth between the old habitual sensations and a new clarity that is so clear I don't even know it is there. There is the violence and chaos, but there is also this stillness. The stillness is so pristine that if my antenna is listening to the outer chaos I would easily trample upon it, clueless to its existence. This new clarity makes forward motion available to me, as long as I notice and release the patterns of emotions … [Read more...]

Stepping Into Creation…and Away from Fear

I've been thinking about fear. It's everywhere. I turn on the TV news and hear about lack of money, the financial systems coming apart, and people behaving badly. My junk mail has an ominous tone in it, assuming that someone must get elected, or must not get elected, in order to save our schools or lifestyle or community. When I create or make a choice out of fear, I am giving myself no love. By choosing or moving while I'm in fear, I will withdraw and contract. That choice will be a choice … [Read more...]

Obama / Osama

While it seems overly simplistic and more than a bit esoteric, with the election of Barack Obama as president, we are unwinding a pattern of cursing a sacred name. The combination of vowels found in the names "Obama" and "Osama" is not a coincidence. "Ama" is a root word in many languages for "mother" and "love." Placing a prefix such as "O" before it simply defines which quality of love. In an ideal world, the words created using … [Read more...]

Turning Towards Home

by Norma Gentile with Archangel Michael and AtamiraAs we face 2007, the sometimes planet (and always powerful) Pluto faces Galactic Center. This brings what I call Grandfather energy directly to bear upon whatever we each need most to transform. And of course, what we most need to change is also that which we most strive to tuck away, far away, and out of even our own sight. Pluto has been for some time moving towards Galactic Center (the physical center of our galaxy), which is where the new … [Read more...]
