Full Moon – shining light in dark places

Channeling 5.11 am

Greetings Awakening Hearts

The energy of this approaching full moon has got me up early this morning. After tossing and turning for an hour I gave in and realized there is a message to be shared.
The question begs “Who am I?” as we live in times of extreme change it is also the time of great opportunity for growth and realization of who we are and why we are here.
It is a time of awakening, to claim our freedom, to move forward and reclaim our sovereignty. To ask the deep questions and then make time to hear the answers. How often do you ask the questions but then get busy again with “life” and make no time for stillness? For it is in the stillness that the answers will come to you if you stop long enough to listen and hear the answer.
The world as we know it is changing forever and for the better giving humanity the opportunity to unite in peace, love, and purpose for the good of all.
We, as a humanity have been enslaved to systems for too long, systems of control and lack. Oh, we can tell ourselves how grateful we are for the lives we have, for the perceived freedom but for most we are bound to debt, restriction and limitation and for too long we have known no different. In fact, we have been told how much better our lives are now than they were a hundred years ago. But what if there is so much more waiting for us to claim?
It is time to bring balance to our body-minds by playing more, freeing up on all levels of our being. For too many our physical bodies are bound and heavy or light and tight as we hold onto unexpressed emotion, suppressed dreams, restricted by how we have been told to live our lives in lack and control as we have been steered through the systems that make up our lives.
Well ENOUGH, it is time to break free of the expectations and take the road less traveled, walk where there is no path, venture into the unknown and create a life that is free, rich, connected and purposeful for the good of all.
But how I hear you ask.
Be curious. Be open to the unexpected, be brave and feel everything, let the light of this full moon shine in on all your dark places and reveal the magnificence of who you really are. A being of light, a sovereign soul whose time has come to shine in the fullness of colour.
We will look back on these times and realise that we have been living in black and white and now it is time to lift the veil and let the colour in.
So, I ask you to consider the following:
Where in my life can I let more colour in and what would that look like?
Is there room for my mind to open more to new possibilities and new ways of living?
What does freedom feel like to me?
If time and money were not an issue for me what would I be doing?
Ponder these questions, walk with them, journal your first thoughts to clear your head for more to come in then go back and find the gems of wisdom on your pages.
That’s all for now but I feel there are more insights to come so stay open, because we are entering a new age and the possibilities are endless and remember, YOU are the creator of your life. Bathe in this full moon light and see what there is to be revealed.
Namaste

Shining light on life

If you are reading this then you have been in training for the times we are experiencing right now. This is my personal plea for you to rise above the current fear campaign and shine your light for humanity and planet Earth.

It is time to unplug from the biased, fear-based media drama that is wearing you down and increasing your chances of becoming ill. Instead turn off your news channels, stop reading the newspapers and listening to yet another panel discussing COVID-19. What you are not being told is that as a human being you have the most amazing immune system that is capable of dealing with incredible challenges when left to its own devices. What will affect your immune system and bring you down is constant drama and fear-based news.

Start tuning inward to your inner resources. They may not have been called upon for some time, but it is not too late. What is your intuition saying to you right now? What can you do to boost your immune system? Many have been given the gift of more time at home due to less travel, if you are working from home, or loss of work. If that is the case then you have the time to work on your greatest asset: YOU.

Now is the time, if you haven’t already, to create a vision for your life that is the most empowering vision you can come up with. A vision that includes creating a better world for humanity to thrive in and an Earth that is supported to flourish. Get your creative juices flowing, find images to support your vision, and create a soulful sentence or affirmation that can become your mantra to live by.

We’re living in extreme times that call for extreme action and collaboration to create new ways of being, of living and thriving. It’s time to raise the vibration of this planet to a point where the lower frequencies and people of ill intent get blinded by light and retreat. Let us create a life where we have freedom of speech, where we focus on wellness instead of illness, where we respect difference and can live together in harmony. Let’s create a society where food becomes our medicine once again and we support quality of life, living longer, healthier lives instead of dying longer by being over-medicated and making a minority rich in the process.

The time is NOW for you to shine your light and raise your vibration. This too is infectious and we need to spread this light and beam it into all the dark places. Help others find their lights and turn them on. Together we can make a difference.

How? I hear you ask. Try these things:

Don’t let this social distancing become normalised because as human beings we need to stay connected, not distanced! Keep images of social interactions around you and keep this vision. This social distancing is not the new normal! Stay connected as much as possible to family, friends and like-minded people.

Get out in nature every chance you get. Go to places that are full of life and prana such as the beach and forests. Fill your lungs with fresh clean air and expel any stagnation and staleness.

Start reflecting upon the food you eat and asking how much life force, or prana, is in your food. In other words, how much fresh food are you eating? It is imperative to keep you immune system healthy. You need to be eating whole foods, unprocessed, and not sprayed with poisons. Familiarise yourself with seasonal food and reduce the need to import produce.

Move your body every day. Our physical bodies are designed to move so find ways to move that are fun and enjoyable. Walking daily is one of the best things we can do. While you walk let go of tension in your shoulders, let your arms hang loosely, find a rhythm to your walk that feels good and let your body guide you to move in the most comfortable way for you. This can be a great exploration. As you move inquire as to how your body is feeling as you walk. What if you shorten your stride and slow down? How might it feel to notice the contact your feet make with the ground, how your feet roll from step to step? Do you lift your toes when you walk? There’s a lot to explore in the simple act of walking!

Watch what you say and don’t get hooked into the negative language that we are being bombarded with right now. There is nothing to be gained in fighting anything! You’ll see this word fight everywhere: fight COVID, fight cancer, fight for your rights. Stop and reflect on what that word conjures up in your mind; check your own internal dialogue and the words you use when talking to others. Let the fight go and find the courage to move towards what you want from your heart. Feel it before you overthink it.

Meditate daily at the very least. Use this time to surround the Earth in light and the people in love. What you’re not being told is that you are an amazing being capable of whatever you choose to put your mind and effort toward. Together, we can raise the vibration of this planet. Stand up and be counted as you create the way forward that makes your heart sing.

Namaste

Surya Namaskara

This term we have been practicing the sun sequence, Surya Namaskara, and as I have been reading more about this ancient, time-honoured sequence, I want to share some of the information I have found with you.

Surya Namaskara is a practice that has been handed down from the sages of Vedic times. In many cultures throughout history the sun has been worshipped as a daily ritual because it is a powerful symbol of spiritual consciousness.

This sequence is very complete within itself as it works on all our levels of being:

It stretches, massages, tones and stimulates all the muscles and vital organs in the variety of movements from backward and forward bends, to lunges and inversions. When performed regularly it can stimulate the endocrine system, bringing it into balance.
The solar energy within you is enhanced and therefore dynamic creativity, resourcefulness and enthusiasm may be expressed in your thoughts and actions.
The sequence revitalises the entire system and recharges the pranic body.

When we become familiar with the sequence we can then start to work with it in a deeper way, adding intention and visualisation, specific breathing practices and mantra, as I recently taught on the Spring retreat.

Surya Namaskara is a great way to warm up for the day. When we start to work with it on a daily basis, we add a new factor to our lives. The ordered, sequential, and energising series of postures become like a tonic taken each morning to set us up for a balanced, energised day. Developing these practices is a wonderful way to bring us back into alignment with nature and the patterns and rhythms that support holistic wellness. We align with the cycle of the sun, honouring the light and letting that light raise our awareness of what is going on for us physically, emotionally and mentally.

When you start the day in this way over a period of time you may find that you become more attuned to your body, mind, heart and soul. Life is more meaningful and rich as you let a new rhythm of ease into your being, become more responsive and less reactive, and let yourself flow with life instead of against it.

Give it a go! Become a beacon of light to shine the way towards peace and harmony in your community.
