Make Way for Success

A few months back, I was really struggling - mentally, physically and spiritually - to get to grips with life. I wanted to move forward but every single step I took forward somehow ended up in 6 steps back!

This article from renowned conscious thought-leader makes perfect sense ... so if you are stuck and can't seem to find a way to move forward, then read on!


The Cycle of Completion: Making Way for Success
by Jack Canfield


Do you live in a state of mental and physical clutter? Do you have a bunch of unfinished business lurking around every corner?

Incomplete projects, unfinished business, and piles of cluttered messes can weigh you down and take away from the energy you have to move forward toward your goals.

When you don't complete tasks, you can't be fully prepared to move into the present, let alone your new future. When your brain is keeping track of all the unfinished business you still have at hand, you simply can't be effective in embracing new tasks that are in line with your vision.

Old incompletes can show up in your life in lots of different ways... like not having clarity, procrastination, emotional energy blocks and even illness. Blocked energy is wasted, and a build up of that energy can really leave you stymied!

Throw out all the clutter and feel how much easier it is to think! Make a list of areas in your life (both personal and professional) where you have incompletes and messes, then develop a plan to deal with them once and for all. Fix and organize the things that annoy you. Take your final steps in bringing closure to outstanding projects. Make that difficult phone call. Delegate time-wasting tasks that you've let build up.

When you free yourself from the mental burden of incompletes and messes, you'll be AMAZED at how quickly the things you do want in life arrive.

Another area where you'll find incompletes in your life is in your emotions. Are you holding on to old hurts, resentments, and pain? Just like the physical clutter and incompletes, your energy is being drained by holding on to and reliving past pain and anger.

Remember, you'll attract whatever feelings you're experiencing. So, if you're stuck in revengeful thinking and angered in muck, you can't possibly be directing energy toward a positive future. You need to let go of the past in order to embrace the future. Letting go involves forgiveness and moving on.

By forgiving you aren't releasing the other person from their transgression as much as you're freeing yourself from their transgression. You don't have to condone their behavior, trust them, or even maintain a relationship with them. However, you DO have to free yourself from the anger, from the pain, and from the resentment once and for all!

When learning to forgive, make sure to complete the cycle. Acknowledge your anger, your pain, and your fear. But also own up to any part you've played in allowing it to happen or continue. Make sure to express whatever it was that you wanted from that person, and then see the whole event from the other's point of view. Allow yourself to wonder what that person was going through and what kind of needs he/she was trying to fulfill at the time.

Finally, let go and move on. Every time you go through this process you're learning how to avoid letting it happen again!

Soul Blossoming - Things That Matter

I receive monthly updates from Planet Lightworker, an online magazine which is always chockfull of fascinating articles which always resonate loudly with me ...

Here is one such article from this month's issue, written by Tom Brown.

Things That Matter

WHY NOT LIVE AS THOUGH each moment could be our last? Then wouldn't everything that happens in time become delicate, refined, transparent; every sight and smell, every encounter become sacred? Wouldn't everything reveal itself as so fragile that our heart would open? That is what the enlightened heart is: total openness without fear to the deep-felt impermanence of life.

When we review the events of this life on the cosmic videotape, the cosmic "instant replay", we will see how unaware we often were of the true importance of things. We often wanted things so much that we didn't even notice how much quality of life we gave up and how much peace of mind we sacrificed in order to have cellular phones, televisions in every room, new cars - all the things that count for ZERO in the deeper, eternal part of ourselves.

The things that matter the most in our lives are not fantastic and grand. They are the moments when we touch one another, when we are there in the most attentive and caring way.

When we come to the end of our lives and look back, the questions we will not usually ask are, How much is in my bank account? or What did I build? or the like. The questions most likely to be asked are very simple:

  • Did I love well?
  • Did I live fully?
  • Did I learn to let go?
  • Did I learn to forgive and live from spirit of the heart instead of the spirit of judgment?

Ultimately, our true contribution to life is the love we add to the world. Everything else comes and goes. Sharing our love will happen spontaneously among us when we allow ourselves to be simple and real and to live fully in the present moment.

Emerging Butterflies

As we begin a new year, our thoughts naturally go to new beginnings and transformations. One of the best metaphors for this is the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly.

The caterpillar encases itself and is forced into a dark small area where it cannot be distracted by anything. No longer can the sun and rain enter its world. It is alone in the darkness wrapped in what it has spun from inside. Only by facing the darkness does the caterpillar's body begin to spread out and its light, beautiful wings begin to form.

The caterpillar must shed its last attachment to the dark, cramped space it has gotten used to - a form of familiar comfort - and begin breaking through the barrier of self in which it has wrapped itself. It doesn't have a clue what lies beyond, but it responds to a higher calling anyway.

IF a human helps the butterfly break through the cocoon, it will never fly. Only by finding the strength to break through the last attachment can this delicate being with a body so light and fragile, fly free.

If a caterpillar were given a choice, it might remain in its cocoon where everything is comfortable and familiar rather than coming out to be a butterfly. The caterpillar does not comprehend what it is becoming. We are in a similar predicament. We spend our time and energy trying to improve the cocoon, a little paint here, some wallpaper there, and we will have a great looking cocoon. We don't realize we are growing into something that will have the freedom to fly away in perfect bliss. Someday we will outgrow our present condition and have wings that will take us to heights we cannot imagine at the present time.

All of life is preparation for transition from one state to another, from one circumstance to another. The winds of change may come as a fierce hurricane ripping our life asunder or as a tender breeze that caresses our cheeks.

Honoring the truth of change allows our experience of darkness to be part of the greater whole. It asks the heart to be present and trust at deeper and deeper levels. It asks us to risk becoming butterflies while still in our cocoons.

"Age of You"

Blessings one and all ...

We greet you this day in the energy of thankfulness and unconditional love. Our voice has been doing her own work and integrating all the new energies which have flooded on to your Earth plane. We thought it fitting to re-establish our written communication with you at this time as the home of our voice moves into the celebration of Thanksgiving and remembrance of all the blessings each has received.

Your Planet has just taken another great step in it's evolution, some may say a "Quantum Leap" in consciousness and some may call it by a different name. It matters not the phraseology you choose to use. It matters only that you have some awareness of what has transpired and what it means to you and all the peoples of your Planet Earth. You may be looking around you saying "nothings really changed", "I was waiting to really see something happen and nothing really did." There is a reason for that Angels of Earth, if you are looking around you, you are looking in the wrong place. The profound changes have happened inside each individual and not in the exterior world you perceive with your physical eyes. You may start to see some external changes soon but these are a result of the changes that have gone on internally in each individual.

We know we speak to a group who already have a more fully developed awareness than the masses who are just now beginning to wake from their long sleep. If you want to really witness the leap in consciousness look to the people around you who would never before consider reading such a communication from spirit as you are reading now, the ones who would never before have a serious discussion about their dreams or having had an experience with an invisible being coming to them as they lay in their beds and wondering what in the world was happening to them. Look deeply into their eyes, hear the tone of their voice and listen closely to their questions. Notice a difference? Do you see a change? Can you feel the reaching out to new levels of understanding and acceptance? Do you hear them considering things they may have never considered before? Do you hear them asking, if not demanding that there must be a better way for us to all live together? Do you feel them reacting to you and what you say in a whole new and more open way?

What of you our precious Angels of Earth, do you not feel it too? Have not your dreams intensified and taken on a whole new dimension and meaning? Are you not now remembering your dreams more clearly than ever before? Are you not finding things that no longer serve you falling away at an unprecedented rate and new this and ideas flooding in like never before? Do you feel the unexplainable relentlessness that is accompanied by an uncharacteristic inner peace at the same time? You are saying to yourself, "How can I be so restless and charged up yet feel this inner peace and contentment at the same time"? You make a choice and know instantly afterwards that it was the correct choice for you but have no idea where you are going to go from that point but it seems perfectly fine with you. Could you imagine feeling that way five years ago or even one year ago or for some a few weeks ago? [Laughter]

Welcome to the New Consciousness beloved Angels of Earth, you are now in the energy of "You". It's not about your connection to anything, not even to spirit, it's about your full connection to "You" and all that "You" are!

No you have not entered the "Age of ultimate selfishness", it's not about denying others anything. What it's really about is becoming your true "I Am" self, becoming the creator you truly are and choosing what "You" really want from the field of limitless possibilities that stand spread out before. What is really making you restless is that you have never before considered or been able to envision truly limitless possibilities for yourself or your world. The inner peace and contentment you feel lies in the center of that field of limitless possibilities. It is totally peaceful and serine because there is now energy attached to any one of these possibilities because they are just that "possibilities". You are free to choose any one or number of them that strikes your fancy. There is no right, no wrong, no better, no worse they are just there waiting for you to choose or choose again.

Dear Ones, we understand this can be somewhat overwhelming to you coming out of the energy of limitation and restriction but you will get used to it! [Laughter] Some will dive right in and others will take their time getting used to this new paradigm, it doesn't matter which one you are, each will move through at their own pace and in their own way. We ask you to "feel" the possibilities open to you now and start practising making conscious choices. The time of sitting back and just going with the flow has passed. You are truly the creator of your own world and it needs your input, your "choices" to move forward. In essence there is really no flow, just what you choose to create for yourself.

Some are saying to themselves, "I really don't know what to choose". Think of it like shopping for a new wardrobe, try something on and if it does not suite you try on something else. The world will not end if you choose a shirt and decide a few weeks later to get a sweater. [Laughter] Dear Ones, you need to let go of the concept of "what is the Best choice". Just because one thing is "Best" at one stage of your life does not mean that it is most appropriate a year, a month or even the next minute of time. You have been so conditioned to think in terms of the future instead of considering what is best for you in that present moment of time. What suites you, feeds you, and fulfills you in every sense of the word "right now". Tomorrow is another day, it might be something totally different in that moment of time. You have been conditioned to think in massive blocks of time in the future. Where will I be in five years and what are the things that will get me to that place I want to be? You really have no idea what you will really want when you arrive in that time five years from now, it will most likely be quite different from how you feel about it now.

Most of you have been living your whole lives this way, has it made you happy? Are you really satisfied with where you are right now? How many have discovered what you thought you wanted five years ago is not what you want now that you have arrived? So Dear Ones, has this method that you have been taught and cling to so fiercely been working for you?

Angels of Earth we have asked "You" many questions this day of your time, can you guess why?

It's because the answers, the choices, are not up to us or to come from us, they are in "You"!

We told you from the beginning that we were here to help guide you "to make your own choices" and now more than ever before you have the most open playing field to do just that, choose. It is not our purpose to choose for you, the choices are yours and yours alone. "You" are the creator!

Angels of Earth we hold "you" in our Heart of Hearts and ask "you" to do the same for each other. Most of all we ask that you be loving, gentle and patient with "You".

Blessings one and all...

Integrating the Feminine, as we prepare for what's ahead

Ciao!
Regular watchers of my blog will know that I am a big fan of Karen Bishop and her "What's Up on Planet Earth" updates. They always seem to dovetail perfectly with issues that I can personally relate to.

Here is her latest update to share with you ... please do pop along to her website (address at end of post) to sign up for her Energy Alerts.


Wishing you a beautiful day,


With bright blessings

Integrating the feminine is strongly upon us now, as we prepare for what is ahead. More about this and how it is affecting us can be found further along in this posting, but first, how did we get to this space in the first place?


As of this writing, we are nearing the lunar eclipse of Tuesday, August 28th. We have been given approximately 3 months to let go, let go, and let go of any old ideas, dreams, ego stances and perceptions about things, and who we thought we were. March of 2007 brought in some incredible and fast moving energy, we were able to manifest quickly and easily, which led us up to the summer solstice. With the advent of the solstice, we then began a process of going deep, purging and releasing, and really getting clear about what was truly important to us.


These are common and on-going phases of ascension, or our spiritual evolutionary process. And they will continue on in a predominant way for four or five more years (or into 2012). But of course, there is always room for change and a different time-line! When new energies arrive, we feel their impact immediately and at times dramatically, but then we are given the opportunity to integrate. This can take awhile, as this spiritual process see-saws over time, until each integration is compete. This is why it can seem that things are getting worse, when actually, they are really getting better. The residue of any darker and denser energies gets moved out over and over, until eventually there is very little density. The book The Ascension Primer explains this process and how it affects us in much more detail.


The lunar eclipse will be more of the same, but it will arrive as a wonderful support that will finalize this process for us. It will support the energy of “into the shadows and staying still.”


This was a LONG process. And during it all, we were being held back from moving forward. We were being held back in order to be protected from the darker and denser energies that were running rampant “out there.” We were under no uncertain circumstances allowed to be a part of them….only to observe until it was time for us to provide our needed service to humanity.


So in what forms have all these energies manifested for us and what stage are we currently experiencing?

When we are being held back, we can feel like we do not want to go anywhere, talk on the phone, be a part of any activities we are usually a part of, and basically just want to stay home. Not even put a toe out. This is because of our deep connection to Source and to our mission as lightworkers. We are all part of the same programming and of the same energy Source, and it knows exactly what it is doing.


Our energy then is about “staying in.” It is pulled back, it is withheld. And the outer energies are about the same. They are not currently moving ahead then, either.


So, while you have been held back, have you identified what you really and truly desire? Do you want to retire? Do you want to assist? Do you want to smell the roses? Do you think you have to do things? Is this where your motivation comes from? Or does it come from inspiration and joy? What is the most important thing to you? What really and truly matters and brings you the most peace?


So now, in comes the feminine energy. This is where we are now. We are really in the thick of it. And it is divinely different than what we have known on this planet in our current lifetimes.


In what forms is it manifesting itself? You may not want to do anything. The feminine is not about doing. It is about being. If we try and make anything happen right now, it can feel like navigating through quicksand. But there is a dual reason for the energy of exhaustion we may feel right now when we try and make something happen.


When the energies are “out,” as they currently are, we are not nearly as connected to Source. The higher we vibrate and evolve, the more we exist in a reality that is very connected to Source. But during the ascension process, the energies have periods of moving in and out. They are out when they are building….much like a tidal wave. And while they are out, we are always re-aligning and re-defining.


In the higher realms, Source is the creator, so then, we create easily and effortlessly. Things just seem to fall into our laps, our every thought seems to manifest immediately, and all is effortless with no struggle. This comes from a strong connection to Source without many blockages of density. This is when the energies are “in,” and they are “in” now for the majority of the time, as we have made much progress.


Because the energies are waning now, or “out,” this is creating a more distant connection to Source. We would then have to create from our own ego minds, or from our own individual selves. This is not the way of the higher realms, and this is why we become exhausted from trying, or why we may even simply have no desire to do a thing. We cannot do it all ourselves. It is not possible. We need the energy of Source as our partner, as well as our physical soul partners and teams.


So there is a dual situation occurring here during this phase. We are being held back and we are also integrating the feminine. In this way, we are truly being supported at each and every level. We are being protected and we are being prepared.


Other manifestations of integrating the feminine? We may have had the flu recently. Our cells are transmuting at deep levels, and this can cause exhaustion, muscle pain and pressure, a lot of neck discomfort, dizziness and weakness, and nausea. But the main physical manifestation of a deep integration of the higher feminine energies is abdominal pain and distress. Cramping, unusual menses, and just plain pain! Our bodies can really hurt from the ascension process. We may try to get on board with a regular physical exercise regime, and find that at times when an integration process occurs, we have to then suspend our exercise program. We simply do not have the energy reserves to keep on track with it. Ahhhhhhh….this ascension process! Up and down, up and down.


The feminine is also about basking and allowing. During this time, it can greatly help to simply do nothing. Rest. Be. Give yourself permission to take a break. What if you have a regular 3D job? You can turn off your home answer machine, do not answer your phone, stay off the internet, do not watch TV, and simply remove yourself from the outside world once you get home, or once you end your 3D job for the day. This can work wonders and really get one connected to the current energies that are manifesting for us. Unplug from the other world as much as you can during this time of being held back.


You can then do something creative, or simply do nothing. For the past two weeks (my husband is away fighting a wildfire…his last season), I have found the greatest way to be in alignment with the current energies is simply by lying still. No reading, creating, or even moving. Just lying there in the quiet. It feels awesome.

These higher vibrating feminine energies are affecting much. The west will be affected the most, as it has possessed much of the old masculine energies of power and aggressiveness. These old masculine energies are being broken down now in a very severe way. Within and without. As always, we are evolving within and without. And this is what is creating the great fall for much of our planet.


The solar eclipse of September 11th brings in a different scenario. It marks the true end of this period of going deep and letting go, but not of the fall. Everything basically stops and resets itself, as the sun again reveals itself to move forward with our new and more highly vibrating selves. And add that to the equinox of the 23rd, which always brings in the new, and we have much in the way of energetic supports from the cosmos, as we are all one indeed, using all of our energies to support the ascension process.


As of September, our new plans will begin to manifest once again. After having thrown out much of the old, in regard to cleaning out closets (literally!), re-aligning our purposes and desires with the new higher vibrating reality, or even really and truly fine tuning our soul purpose at this particular point in time, and especially throwing out the parts of ourselves that no longer fit with what is to come, we will then be ready to move forward into the new.


We will then be more fully entrenched within the new reality that we have created for ourselves. Our own special sanctuaries that reside as a reality within a reality will be secure and safe, as will we. The outside or old world will continue to fall, as we will watch and assist at times, but our own special worlds will be dramatically different than what the news is revealing to us. We will not be a part of the fall. We will be in an entirely different world.


Those that are still evolving at different levels may choose to hold onto and try to save the old, but it cannot be so. In time, those that wish to let go will do so, and there will be those who will welcome them with open arms into the world of the new, as they are shown a new way of being and living.


A separation that is more severe than ever before will envelope us now, but it is only a separation that results from a willingness on the part of those who choose another way or reality. Surrender is truly the key. This sounds like religious dogma, doesn’t it? But basically, it is all about letting go of as much of our ego selves as possible, and allowing as much Source as possible to embody itself within us. I suppose, we are all always saying the same thing. Separation only comes from a difference in vibrational levels, and at times from a difference in soul purpose.


As more natural disasters occur, and more begins to fall, unity will be the result, and this will also create more of a willingness within the masses to embrace something new and different. These natural disasters will support the unity of each area, as each area will vibrate differently according to its own special purpose. “Local” will be the new phrase. I talk a lot about this in Staying In Alignment, as utilizing as much local as possible places us in alignment with our own areas of residency and higher vibrating purpose…..so although we will begin to greatly separate as a planet, we will also begin to fine tune our “local,” and then eventually combine all the special energies of each and every “local” purpose in regard to the whole. Much of anything and everything that is in between these higher and specific vibrations will cease to exist.


Integrating the feminine now, will enable us to embody more compassion in times to come regarding the fall. The way to survive in a falling world, during brief visits, is to be in a state of love, understanding, and compassion. I believe this to be a tall order on a continuous basis, as there are not many who could achieve this feat in a continuous way, but by staying in our sacred spaces of high reality, and going “back” only sporadically, we can then maintain these states much easier if for a limited time. It can be difficult to maintain states of continual love and compassion when one is residing in the energy of the fall, as it can feel as though we are being beat on, attacked, dumped on, or even in the energy fields of great distress. And in addition, these lower vibrating energies are no longer a match to what we are now vibrating, and can feel downright unbearable and old!


There will be more on this in future energy alerts, as assisting will require a need to stay in our center, without reaching out. It may sound strange, but staying in our center, or in alignment, allows those who are willing, to come to us, or at least be open to us. We need not deliberately go out and try to help, unless we are being called, and we will be. Deliberately trying is the old masculine energy, and this is what we are fine tuning now. Staying still, allowing, being present, and not “reaching” is vitally important. This creates the perfect alignment that will be needed in times to come.


We can now practice being “still.” We can be in our center and in alignment. And when the forward moving energies again resume, we will once again be in perfect position with our new creations of heaven on Earth.

The Legend of the Rainbow


In this busy world, too often we forget to appreciate ourselves, our loved ones and those closest to us in life. I loved reading this legend and would like to share it with you.

With bright blessings,
Callie xThe legends of many cultures see the rainbow as a kind of bridge between heaven and earth. One of the most beautiful sights in nature, the rainbow has become in western culture a symbol of renewed hope; something lucky to look upon. To Iranian Moslems, even the brilliance of the colours in a rainbow have significance. A prominent green means abundance, red means war, and yellow brings death. The Arawak Indians of South America! Recognize the rainbow as a fortunate sign if it seen over the ocean, while tribes in north-eastern Siberia see it as the tongue of the sun. The North American Catawba Indians of the Southeast and the Tlingit of the Northwest both regard it as the bridge between the living and the dead.

Once upon a time the colours of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best. The most important. The most useful. The favourite.

Green said:
"Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves. Without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."

Blue interrupted:

"You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."

Yellow chuckled:
"You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."

Orange started next to blow her trumpet:

"I am the colour of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and papayas. I don't hang around all the time, but when I fill the sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no-one gives another thought to any of you."

Red could stand it no longer he shouted out:
"I am the ruler of all of you. I am blood - life's blood! I am the colour of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the colour of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."

Purple rose up to his full height. He was very tall and spoke with great pomp:

"I am the colour of royalty and power. Kings, chiefs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me! They listen and obey."

Finally Indigo spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination:
"Think of me. I am the colour of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."

And so the colours went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarrelling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly. The colours crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.


In the midst of the clamour, Rain began to speak:
"You foolish colours, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me."

Doing as they were told, the colours united and joined hands.


The Rain continued:
"From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of colour as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow."

And so, whenever a good rain washes the world and a Rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
