how to talk about things and not add energy to them...

(http://www.exploring-possibilities.com/wp-content/uploads/people%20talking%202.jpg)

Having a heart-to-heart doesnt mean you will get more of what you dont want...


Someone was asking me about discussing past issues, or current challenges in light of what the Law of Attraction folks say about getting what you talk about--if you dont want to add energy to a subject so as not to attract more of it-do you just ignore it? cover it up? hide from it? how do you discuss it without it coming back to bite you in the butt?

one of the most valuable pieces of information regarding the universe is this...

if YOU decide on a process that feels good to YOU--and you get in alignment with that....then the universe will bend over backwards to make that so for you...you literally CREATE your own TRUTH...

That said--i have with a dear soul sister friend of mine developed a process that really works so you CAN discuss anything that is in your current now--or anything that was in your past that you feel reflects on your current now, without ADDING energy to that thing...

If you have ever seen or heard about how they do open heart surgery--they use a blood recirculator--this system takes all the blood out of the body and recycles it through the brain and body, thus nurturing the body, but it bypasses the main pumping muscles of the heart, so they can operate on it without the person losing all their blood...when i talk to certain people about things i am currently experiencing, i use a similar system like this--its a spiritual energy recirculator and it works like this...

If i feel the need to "open the valve to let off steam" i get into a mental place where i say--i am disconnecting my main power from the universe and i am going to recirculate...

I can then, VENT, RANT, BITCH, MOAN, feel sad, discuss, whatever, knowing full well that what i am talking about in that brief time is not affecting my overall vibration--and that energy is not going out to the universe...this place is also the VAULT...what goes in, does not go out--and we trade time talking about what we need to talk about, but whatever we hear is put in the vault and doesnt come out again--it isnt even thought about, or worried about, or dwelt on by the other partner--because you cant love and worry at the same time--its completely opposite vibrations

At the end of the discussion period, i always find a better feeling place on the matter--and then i honor the contrast, or the situation, that created in me a huge rocket of desire that set off a creative vortex to make my life even better--i do not leave that space of recirculation until i find even a little bit better feeling place and a little bit of hope...I then "mentally and spiritually reconnect with my main power source" and i thank my "witness" the person working with me on the issue for the blessing of having them sit and observe in a non-judgemental and unconditionally loving way...

i have created this mental process for myself--aligned with it--felt good about it, used it to great success and so--it IS....

others feel fear about discussing what is because they will draw more of that to them--and i can understand that--if i were talking about these issues constantly and trying to get sympathy for them, or have someone else give me solutions to them, then i would definitely be drawing them to me...

but to voice what is--release any pent up energy around it, so your cork is floating nicely downstream and then find a better feeling place--that is a wonderful thing...because, as a life long sailor--i KNOW full well that if you are running with the wind it takes a lot to turn that boat around and tack in another direction--especially if the current is strong...

:) hugs!

Relationships--conflict as the secret gift of the universe....

(http://www.wellnessbeyond.com/images/HoldingHands.jpg)
You are a team in your Soul's Expansion!

Someone recently commented on my long marriage and asked me about our success...they also asked how to see clearly relationship issues full of conflict and how to avoid them…I looked at them in a puzzled way, because i had never wanted to AVOID anything in my relationship with my Poppi--what ever had to happen, had to happen in order to build this wonderful friendship that has given us both so much LOVE and JOY and GROWTH....so, here was my answer...

one thing that always helps ME whenever i experience relationship contrast is to look at it from the non-physical perspective of everything really is perfect...

and the person "doing me wrong" is really part of my own shared inner being that LOVES me so much it is giving me the contrast, situation or event i desired to experience in order to shoot off rockets of desire for change...

and i will say, that looking back over a 25 year relationship with my husband, it has been a roller coaster--and i realize that there was indeed a pattern of internal contrast--expansion=--plateau--external contrast--pulling together into a deeper tighter relationship--resolution--gratitude--plateau--internal contrast...expansion...

etc. etc....and so on and so on--always evolving...as two mountain climbers inch their way up the frozen mountain face...sometimes pushing, sometimes pulling, sometimes climbing, sometimes scrambling for a foot or hand hold...but always exhilarated, and moving steadily upwards to the summit--into the light...to find the success of overcoming--only to climb back down and start again some other day....there IS no end...it is always evolving...and it never gets done...even at the end of this life...there is more--and generally, you can bet that if you have a deep relationship with someone that brings you great JOY and great consternation--you will be spending more lifetimes with that soulmate...cause its DELICIOUS and exciting and productive...

i am NOT saying that sometimes, to love yourself or because you are vibrating differently that leaving a relationship is not the right thing to do--i am just trying to put into perspective that contrast in a relationship is a gift--

the minute my marriage stops giving me contrast is the minute we stop growing--and the relationship ceases to have meaning....it loses its reason for being...

with the pain, comes the joy--and i am thankful for it all--

and i am loving to see how all of you who have suffered previously are REALLY getting into alignment, and shooting off desires for what you REALLY want--because contrast helps you FOCUS more keenly on what you really truly want in a relationship, in a soul mate, in anything....and what you want can come in the form of who you are already with, or it can come in the form of someone else...its all about focusing on the essence of what you want--through the gift of contrast that other souls lovingly bestow on you...


This knowing...this viewing contrast as a gift can be so freeing! Its also wonderful to understand--to really get to the meat of the idea that EVERY piece of contrast that you encounter is there because YOU desired it--from the non-physical perspective--YOU choose to expand! and you requested the expansion and other soulmates lined up and offered to give you the contrast you chose! So, you will feel such a huge sense of relief to know that what is coming was lovingly planned--and you will go through it much more smoothly becuase you will be ALLOWING and reaching for the honed desire and putting that out to the universe and knowing beyond all doubt that what you desire shall be yours--in life, in love, in health, in abundance...in all aspects of your wonderful existence...

how wicked rockin is that????

Im Back in the saddle again--some old stuff on manifesting...

Beautiful Fenway Park! Home of the Amazing Manifestational Red Sox!




Hi everyone! Had a WONDERFUL trip to the west coast with dear friends following my favorite rockin band...the timing of the trip was perfect, as my freedom desire and adventure desire were high...more on that later---

didnt want to leave you all high and dry here in cyberland, so i am posting an old piece i did on attracting situations and creating even in a tough situation...and how our thoughts and feelings are MOST important when we are flowing in a fast stream....new stuff coming in the following days as i settle back into this wonderful homelife of mine! hugs all!

*******this is an old piece showing how even in a difficult situation we are attracting…

I am online today because i am in a hotel room in boston on a Red Sox baseball roadtrip with my family--and one very sick little girl who either has food poisoning or a massive allergic reaction to clams...

she seems to be doing fine--after much intending--but she cant DO anything but sleep and sit in the bathtub and suck on ice cubes...

what is interesting about all this is that a number of things happened this week that showed me we were indeed flowing the energy at an amazingly quick rate--and miracles were happening with regard to our wonderful adventure--like getting tickets to every game we wanted to go to---and to get tickets to the most prestigious areas of Fenway park at face value--free food, etc. even had my husband call that a foul ball would come right at us and it did--he is indeed a marvelous creator...

but we were getting stuck on having tickets for the thursday game--and while some tickets were available--none of them seemed right--and so, we decided to just let it ride---that we would either wait in line for tickets or something would come up in the morning...

The day before, at lunch time, my oldest daughter had seared ahi tuna on a salad because she FELT she had been eating poorly and since she has a DELICATE tummy, she wanted to have something HEALTHY==-we talked about seared tuna and how they handle it very carefully because you can easily get FOOD poisoning from poorly handled seafood....

BINGO--dynamic set up....a week before, she had eaten a hamburger that had sat out for a while and then been reheated--and she had a very mild case of food poisoning...then, someone put the seafood and food poisoning thing in her mind...

at the park, we sat in an area where they bring you your food and you order from a menu--the week before, my husband had been given a free legal seafoods clam chowder and had raved about it--S decided she didnt want a meal--only her OWN and FIRST full bowl of clam chowder....Poppi had a few bites, but she ate the whole thing...

the rest is history--or should we say, it was flushed down the toilet...and man did she get sick--but taking her to a strange dr. or hospital in a city that is not her own, only to be given IV fluids and bedrest seemed very upstream to me...so, we are in contact with her favorite dr. by phone, who is monitoring her situation....

and ofcourse, we just happened to be given a suite in this hotel, that has a giant conference table, a seperate bedroom with two big beds and a living room--all at the same rate as a simpler room because when we got here they didnt have our room ready...

So...even though we are currently dealing with the manifestation of my lovely daughter--we are co-=creating a much softer experience--as i type, my younger daughter C is getting ready to go to the pool and jaccuzi with me--Poppi is resting on the couch (he also felt ill from the few bites of clam chowder he had--but he had also been focusing on feeling BAD that he had eaten poorly this week) and i am at my very own conference table typing--while S is sleeping peacefully in the other room with my healing quartz crystal around her neck and homeopathics at the ready...

the universe takes care of its own--Fast moving streams need tending...but always remember, your thoughts can change whatever is coming down the pike and NOTHING is set in stone!

Rock on! :)

opposites attract.....


(hueinteriors.blogspot.com)

Every color of the rainbow has its counterpart in the opposite side of the spectrum


so, i was laying in my huge bed...my comfy bed with the feather bed mattress and down comforter--all tucked up in there...and i was so excited about all this knowing pouring into me--and then i started thinking about how joyous coming into knowing is--and about my beloved penny analogy...and how i would like to expand on that and expand on the IB escrow...

and then i had another knowing...and it comes into your head in a rush--and you are thinking 6 different directions at once and then it all flows...

IF YOU LOOK AT ALL YOUR DEAR FRIENDS, ALL YOUR FAMILY, ALL THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE--YOU WILL SEE THAT NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS THE SAME BELIEFS AS YOU ON EVERY SUBJECT...

so...they are here to present you with contrast--that is their job...if YOU are the center of your reality, they are indeed tools created by you through your inner being for the express purpose of contrast and data collection so that you will be constantly and consistently refocusing your desire and sending off new rockets of desire into your vibrational escrow...

without this blessing, without these individuals sent to pointedly test your positions, you would cease to expand...

without their beloved contrast--you would cease to feel the need to grow..

So, i am blessing my sister, my mother, my brothers, my friends, my father, my crazy neighbor... i am blessing them for bringing me contrast, and helping me to know unequivocably what i desire...

I know, you will say, well, what about my lover? they are everything i want and i truly believe they believe as i do--and i will tell you that yes, while you are bonding, in that insatiable lusty period called infatuation, the universe sees fit to make you believe that they agree with you--but are YOU really showing THEM who you really are at that point? no--you arent--you are being who YOU believe they want...(or maybe you were pre abe...) then, once the heart bonds are strong, and the sex bonds are strong...you relax and you leave that stage of infatuation and you get to the more loving stage...

and if you think about it this is where many folks fall out of it--because all of a sudden, they are feeling contrast and seeing that person for the very first time...

I celebrated my 20th anniversary of marriage this october--and i have been with my husband/soul partner for 25 years, and i can say that consistently he surprises me with his shifts--with his different views--with his challenges to my beliefs and his decisive choosing of the opposition...and i love him for it...

I do remember dating people years ago, who agreed with every word i said--who had the same beliefs--and you know what? eventually, i felt them weak...and they lost their appeal for me--because i was NO longer challenged...

So, i will cease, from this point on--knowing that the individuals who i love share my collective inner being--from wishing that any of them were any different...i bless them for their path and i thank them for the contrast that they bring into my life--so that i can focus--and refocus--and the contrast that makes the good times together so amazingly sweet and rewarding :)

thanks for listening--love you all!! now back to your regularly scheduled happy day! :)

rockin it out in San Francisco on the first day of my westcoast roadtrip--the Goddess....

hugs everyone!!!

That little voice.....is HUGE...

(http://www.themineofinformation.com.au)
Your solar plexus chakra...the center of your intuition and personal power~


More on intuition--i found this in my perusing some of my older writings....

Someone asked me if that little voice that spoke through their heart was indeed their inner spirit, or was the voice that spoke inside their head their inner spirit....one spoke not so often, but usually with love--the other spoke all the time, but usually with doubt or fear or criticism...here is my answer...

To answer your question about the little voice...it was indeed your Inner Spirit speaking to you through your intuition--it was your INITIAL response to the situation--the intuition works through the solar plexus chakra at the center of your being, about a hand width below the sternum--and thats where you feel either the butter flies or the sick to your stomach feeling when you think about a situation...

Our solar plexus's are amazing early response energy readers--not only are they reading the energy of each and every moment we are in--but they are reading and translating as the VIBRATIONS of a manifestation that we have desired are coming into sync with our reality....they KNOW before we do what is going to happen and they speak to us daily--

Always go with your gut--period...i have NEVER known a situation where i heard my GUT speak and it wasnt the right choice--if you listen to the voice in your head spreading Doubt, you are never listening to your Inner Spirit...

and i would also posit that our Inner Spirit never tells us NOT to do something--our Inner Spirits are not about fear, or doubt, or pulling away from something--instead of telling US not to do something--our Inner Spirits are always telling us how to GO towards well being for ourselves along our path...

if something is TELLING you not to do it--its GENERALLY our old negative loop talking to us--our old fear based habits...that voice that speaks with the desires of society, your parents, your emotional and behavioral molders...and the reason it feels so very bad is because it is NOT your truth~!

so, go with the flow down to well being on the whisper of your intuition and know that when you align with your decision-the universe will turn itself into a pretzel to make sure your desires are answered! And that wicked ROCKS!

Follow your heart or follow your gut???

(http://www.expectantmothersguide.com/profiles/LifeLine/BellyButtonVig7.jpg)
We feel both our emotions and our intuition at a very young age....is one better than the other?


Someone recently asked a question about whether there was a difference between using emotional guidance and intuition when making a decision, and its actually a REALLY good question to pull out the difference semantically between feelings and FEELINGS....

feelings--aka emotions are indeed your inner guidepost to what is your TRUTH--also known as your inner being's "mission statement" this is WHO I AM when i am aligned with source....when you encounter a situation--you examine it and a certain emotion comes up and that will show you exactly HOW far away that situation is from where you want to be as a child of source....

example....

my mission statement is--i want to watch tv to laugh and have some fun...

situation--i turn on the television and its a news program that is filled with negative news...

my evaluation---(where i want to be to connect with source is at HAPPY/joy/fun)
---(where i am when i view the content before me--irritated, sad)

i then choose my next thought based on where i want to go--or i could receive inspired action...

i could choose to continue watching and dip my vibration down to the level of the program--but know from experience that to line up with the REALITY of the moment when it is not in alignment with my truth will only drop me further down the emotional scale--probably into a bit of hopelessness...

I could choose to try and find relief, knowing that in viewing the situation i can remain detached from it and see it as something occurring in another's life play--and not something in my pie--and that its OK to have your own pie--though, i know from experience, that that will only put me into a neutral place--its OK--but its not joy...

I could then, align with and segment intend to FIND a program that will suit my TRUTH...and switch the channel--and BAM, there is sponge bob to make me happy!

or i could just release it--and turn off the tv and focus on the next moment--

so that example explains using your emotional scale to make a decision on how to proceed in order to align more closely with your truth....

SECONDLY--we have the FEELINGS...and i liken THEM to actual bodily reactions to a certain stimulus...mostly, they are focused in the solar plexus region of the abdomen--where your lovely solar plexus chakra is the center of your personal power....it is also the energy vortex through which your GUT or intuition reads HOW The vibrations are aligning for you and how things are going to manifest into your life in the very near future....It is your early warning system for both GOOD (alignment with your truth) and NON-alignment with your truth..

so, example...

I could theoretically set an intention to align with individuals who are on my vibrational wavelength and who may share common interests with me and thus share in my joyful life adventure....

I then throw open the doors of my life experience to the universe and walk down my lovely path...

along the way--i encounter a certain individual---and i feel sick to my stomach at the thought of hanging out with them...

This is my intuition--through my solar plexus--telling me that the vibration of this individual is NOT in alignment with my truth, or my desires, or my intention or my mission statement...

and thus, i take a deep breath--realign with my mission statement and my intentions and walk on by...

i then see another person on my path--and that person brings feelings of butterflies and joy to my belly--

This is my intuition--through my solar plexus--telling me that the vibration of this individual is indeed in alignment with my truth, or my desires, or my intention or my mission statement---

and thus, i take a deep breath--send out a welcome vibe and bless our interations...

We are indeed all vibrational beings--but we are interacting vibrationally on two very different levels--spiritually--through source and the universe using the emotional guidance system as described by abraham...and ELECTRICALLY through our chakra system and our auric bodies, using the feeling centered in our solar plexus. I have a good brief description of the aura and chakra system on my blog if that would help you--Abraham speaks often about the aura and solar plexus...

so, the long and short of it is this--we have MANY wonderful ways of examining our experience--and i for one always follow my gut--and my emotions in making any decision--but my emotions SET up what my GUT is going to tell me--because without sending out the wanting to the universe, your gut has NO parameters on which to work on...


So, love your heart and your gut cause they are both there to help you on the wicked rockin path to your truth! :)

ARE you feeling WORTHY of abundance????

(http://artfiles.art.com/images/-/Money-Print-C10055084.jpeg)

Abundance LOVES you and you should KNOW THAT!!!


Someone recently asked me a question about bringing money into the home—and felt they weren’t pulling their weight because they were staying home with kids….wanted to know what to do to increase their income and make it feel more equitably balanced between their spouse…since i have lived this situation for 15 years since "retiring" to pursue a more joyful life guiding my children, i gave the following answer....

***well....being a stay at home mom who retired from a top advertising position to raise my kids and tend a house, which created a drop in salary by 2/3 after we had just released our income producing apartment which drew thousands of extra dollars a year to cover our mortgage and insurance..i can honestly say, i have been in your shoes...but only for a short while...

because i did an exercise that cured me of what you are feeling...

I went to the library (no internet back then!) and did a job search and income history on a number of jobs that i was currently doing...then i started keeping a time sheet for 1 month...

so, we would have needed, a cook, a personal shopper, a nanny, a housekeeper, a landscape architect, a dog sitter, a cat sitter, a bird setter, a window washer, a car washer, a chauffeur, a therapist, a party planner, a travel agent, a laundress, a messenger, a book keeper and a prostitute to do all the things that i do for my husband in order for him to run the household at the level of comfort he and the children had come to expect....(and this doesnt include my volunteer work running two girl scout troops and teaching religious education)....

so, even at the low end of the salaries for these positions, and the low end of the hours, for which i worked way more--with no vacation days, no sick days, no holidays etc...I would have billed my husband TWICE--yes, you heard me TWICE his gross income every year...

puts it into perspective for me really quick==i am invaluable--I worked for years, i paid for my husbands student loans (i had none) i paid for my own engagement ring--i paid for my own wedding ring--i got our first apartment and carried him for a year wihtout income because he was still in school all because i loved him and had faith in his potential for expansion...

and wihtout ME at home, giving him the freedom NOT to be carrying half the burden of childcare and house work that we used to share when we were both working--he has the potential at work to expand FAR beyond what he would have achieved had he NOT had the LUXURY of a stay at home partner...

I know my value--

He owes me...not the other way around--and i know that through My desires for things, the universe expands our abundance which at the present moment a majority of which is coming through his paycheck.

You dont need to figure out work--what you need to do is clear up the vibration surrounding your worth--if you dont, abundance will indeed elude you...do the experiment and see what you can come up with--be fair, be accurate and you will be amazed at the numbers~!

i also keep a jar for money found in the universe and then put that in the coinstar and put that in the bank--and its becoming a LOT of abundance--all from tiny little signs from the universe that i am abundant! i even set up accounts for my kids so they will know they are magnificent abundant creators...

my daughter wanted more money of her own--so i said, focus on your existing abundance and play with your money and thank it--and something will come to bring you more money...

so, a few days later, my accupunturist out of the blue asked if she would like to babysit--and sam set a low rate because she was a friend of mine--and my accupunturist said to me--i hope sam will set a rate that is worthy of her--so i shared that with sam, and she changed her rate back to being in alignment with what she really felt she was worth...

and after she set--my accupunturist actually paid her her rate plus a tip for being so wonderful!

so--she didnt even have to FIND something to BRING her more money (action) she aligned with MORE--and the universe presented a way--and she LOVES kids--so this is really just FUN for her...:)

find what you LOVE to do, and do it and the abundance will FLOW!!! as long as you VALUE your own worth....then all will WICKED ROCK! :)

Playing at life, in Real Life….

(http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/blast/images/highlights/digi03.jpg)
YOU CAME HERE TO HAVE FUN!!!!

With great anticipation of what was to come, you said YES to life, a thousand times YES, and in you came, incarnating into another physical lifetime. Now that you know about soul-groups, it’s obvious that you did indeed choose your parents, and they choose you as well to be a part of their Life Play, but while the Life Plays intersect, they are in no way dependant on each other for anything other than the bare bones of the scenario. You get to decide what you want to DO and how you want to BE within the context of the basic life scenario that you chose, and through the law of attraction, you drew into your life, people (often soul mates), things, experiences, places and even animals (who are also part of your soul-group, and often, even part of your own soul!) that would help you to enact the Life Play scenario that you had chosen and allow you to experience the things you wanted to gain wisdom on and create further desires for MORE.

From the very earliest moments of your life, you were a powerful creator of your reality. Your desires, from a soul perspective, set forth before you even came into this world, influenced all that you felt, all that you experienced, how you were treated, where you went and who you interacted with. You influenced your social status, your race and ethnicity, how your parents, brothers and sisters, teachers and friends acted towards you, and where you lived in the wide world.

Since you also agreed to participate in the Life Plays of other soul-group members, you were witness to their revolving struggles and joys in life, while you continued to have experiences based on your personal Life Play scenario which became your Path and your Truth. Every major life experience has been coordinated in order to give you more information, more data, more wisdom and more desire based on the Path that you chose.

It’s also interesting to note that while YOU are experiencing life and expanding your own personal wisdom and soul wisdom, you are also sending back to the divine realm information about the physical plane and helping the universe to expand in a richer, more textured, more detailed version of itself. You are helping, through your life experiences, and your thoughts, desires and creations to expand the entire universe, because you are indeed Divinity focused in a physical body!

So, how much more detailed would the information sent back to source energy be on any given topic or situation, if MORE THAN ONE physical being were sending it back? Exponentially more detailed, my dear friends! Instead of experiencing an event, and sending a one-sided “accounting” of the situation and the desires it created, when two or more soul mates experience together, they are all sending back their own personal “accounting” of the situation and desires it created, and Divine Source is responding to them ALL and thus expands out in many different directions, and includes all the variations of desires and creations, instead of just one. You could liken the situation to a comparision of a flat cartoon graphic and a three dimensional clay model of the event. Obviously, the more data Source collects from individually focused spiritual beings here in the physical plane, the more Source can expand based on the desires of all involved.


OH how that wicked ROCKS!!! the Universe LOVES to play--it loves to mix it up--and then it loves to pour it out--all over us LUCKY spritual/physical beings! ENJOY~!!!

who i really am....losing and finding myself again...

(http://michael.barnathan.name/itemimages/thegreenvalley.jpg)

Life is all about the journey not the destination!


I kind of jumped into this blogging thing assuming that most of the folks who were visiting knew a little bit about me....well, as the universe would have it, more and more folks are connecting with the energy here, and i thought it fitting to give a WEEEEEE bit of background into who i am and what i would like to do here in my happy corner of the bloggerverse....


As a small child, I always followed my joy....and when i did that, things would always turn out the way i wanted them too...and life was indeed magical....indeed thrilling...and i was a happy being, full of imagination and enthusiasm for life....ofcourse, this way of being got me into trouble with those who thought they could show me how to live life according to the script that society has set forth for young women in America in the latter part of the 20th century...

I grew up in a family that was living the AMERICAN DREAM. Both my parents were immigrants to this country, and came here with little more than their education, the clothes on their back and a dream that they could do anything they put their mind to. While they saw their lack of understanding of American culture as a disability, I view it, in retrospect as something that greatly benefited me in my development as a strong being. I lived with a passionate and emotional family where creativity was encouraged, but self-sufficiency was expected. I had big dreams, which were eventually shifted and curtailed as i integrated into society. Some of my newly revised dreams were influenced by what I thought my parents wanted for me ( i wanted to please them because they loved me and i loved them), and others influenced by what society expected of young women coming of age at that time.

Even though I didn’t achieve some parts of my dream, I did achieve others, graduating from college and creating a successful career, personal relationships and material success. I also gladly gave many of them up in order to get married and have a family. Along that path, I put who I was on the back burner and offered all my love, all my support, all my care and creativity to my children and my family, working long hours at a career in the advertising industry that had long ago lost its luster for me, coming home to create the perfect household, tend to my children and be supportive for my husband. Beyond the basics of self maintenance, I was not at all thinking of my needs or desires or dreams in the equation that had become my life, because that is what was expected of me in a society that worships the young and wild, but still pointedly assumed a transition to “family first” for women as they marry and raise children. I got on with the busy work of life, and ignored the lonely hole that was developing at the core of my being. I worried a bit about that lonely spot, but tried to blow it off as just me being silly, because I was basically happy with the trappings of a successful life, and lucky to have a great husband and supportive family. It was not until much later that I realized that that loneliness was ME longing for contact with who I really was, my true self and my own independent spirit, which had always followed its own bliss, but was not being stiffled by what others wanted and expected.

That’s when fate dealt me a strong blow, or so I thought, when I became debilitatingly ill with Lymes Disease. Speaking with doctors and suffering through treatment, I settled into a hopelessness and depression that this was all my life would be. In retrospect, this seeming crisis actually set me on a path to personal growth that far exceeded any dreams I had for myself previously.

Along this path, I have learned above all else, to put myself FIRST, selfishly, solely and completely FIRST in line when it comes to any thing I do. I have also, in the long periods of time that it took for me to recover and completely erase the illness from my body, spent many hours following my heart in the exploration of all spiritual paths that felt good to me. I finally and completely released myself from meeting any requirements that society expected of me and eclectically put together a life that has brought me a great reawakening of who I really am, and led me consistently farther and farther along the path to where my joy and bliss resides.

In my meanderings and exploration of finding what brought me elation, I came across many wonderful truths from a wide variety of teachings and beliefs. Some are as ancient as this world, others relatively new, and still others, recycled and expanded versions of older truths. It is with immense joy that I share this sampling of various teachings with you, and my personal realizations for expanding my life that have brought me to know myself completely. I am confident that at the completion of reading these musings, that you will feel a tug to begin exploring more fully who YOU really are and allow that person more complete acceptance and expression in your life.

First, I will tell you what this blog is NOT. It is not a blog about blaming society, or blaming our mothers and fathers, or blaming our husbands or wives, or blaming our children, or blaming ourselves for where we are and what we are feeling.

This blog is about understanding that WE create it all for ourselves and we can RE-create it all again for ourselves, if we aren’t happy with where we are! Its also about reconnecting with the universal wisdom of our souls and using the natural laws of the universe to create a dynamic life where you can be yourself and enjoy miraculous relationships with others and satisfy EVERYONE by satisfying yourself FIRST…I will go over ways you can refine your view of the world and tools you can use to create the life you dream of having. A life where you are the centerpiece in the lovely display that is your universe.

So sit back, get comfy, put the kids to bed, take the phone off the hook and enjoy YOUR time reconnecting with YOU….its gonna be a wicked rockin journey!

So how do you expand the universe through your Life Plays?

a smile from the universe!
(courtesy of http://robinlee.typepad.com/i_was_just_thinking_/images/2007/11/16/oneinami_3.jpg)


From your very limited human perspective, you see your life experiences as happening TO you and most likely beyond your control, but obviously, from your small degree of focus, you have yet to discover that you are literally creating the world with your thoughts and desires.

Have any of you seen a crystal forming, or frost spreading across glass on a cold winter’s night? You see that on one side of the crystal, there is nothingness...blank space, and on the other side there is the ice crystal formed, pattern intact, singularly beautiful and unique. At the edge, there are tiny needles shooting out, every which way, in no apparent pattern, darting here and there, crossing each other, becoming thicker and thicker, moving one way and then another until they cross so much that the randomness disappears and the pattern comes forth. Again, similar to what came before, but unique in its own way.

That seemingly simple, divinely beautiful, yet exceedingly complex process exactly mirrors how humans, through their desires for more, expand their souls and the universe. The universe simply cannot expand without the physical life force experiencing situations, which create desires for different and expanded experience, which issues requests for more to the universe (the ice needles) which are then focused upon, and energy is added to them and they become part of the REALITY that you desire.

Most folks are sitting in the middle of the frost, its observable reality, its comfortable, it’s there. Life shows them some intensity that creates desires in them for change, but the change is slower, their overall creative energy slower. It’s a comfortable life, but their degree of enjoyment from creating an intensely passionate life with the subsequent expansion of their soul and soul group and the universe is much smaller. Others may feel frozen as if in a rut or groove of the ice crystal, and feel unable to create the energy and passion needed to jump the tracks and manifest the life they truly desire. It’s always wonderful to know that the law of attraction is eternally working, no matter where you are in your life, and you can instantly decide to make a change just by focusing on the things you truly desire. The universe will summon forth all that is necessary for the creation, as long as you follow your happiness and honor your own personal Truth.

Some folks are more conscious of the creation process and closer to the defining edge of the creation--in the frosty pattern that is beginning to develop. They are the ones experiencing great intensity in their lives, and they are the ones sending out those ice fingers, requesting more from the universe, with their positive energy and focus, affecting the expansion of the universe through their desires and the Future path of ALL THAT IS.


So, we as humans are standing on the frontier of the universe, creating physically and through our desires for MORE, energy is being stored and vibrations are being pushed up and up and up--and matter...is literally being formed out of nothing but thought and energy.

For things to CHANGE--for a desire to be created in the physical realm, the level of vibration has to raise enough TO MAINTAIN THAT CHANGE AND CREATION in the physical realm. It is not enough to CREATE the change--you have to have the momentum to maintain the change.

This is why things do not just appear out of thin air when you desire them, though, if you truly believed it could be so, it would happen. As you develop and practice more skills for conscious living, you will learn to actively focus your energy and increase the vibration of manifestation more quickly, by releasing any beliefs that are holding you back, and by constantly looking to feel good about where you are and where you are going.

It’s also important to note a very interesting phenomenon in this physical dimension. Every single person has their own reality, and you can only truly see your own, because you can only get into your own head. No matter how much you know someone else, how long you have known them, how much you have shared and even if you have known them their entire life, you cannot ever share every single moment and thought they are having. Each has come into this world with different perceptions, abilities, perceived biases and a chosen Life Play to enact, and all of these things are valid and acceptable for them alone, just as yours are such for you. When we accept that no two people see things exactly the same way, we realize what a moot point it would be to try and get others to see our points of view and accept them as their own. They CANT! They can only see their own point of view. They may empathize with you, or dissuade you, but the best position would be to accept you as you are and allow you your views, just as that would be the perfect stance for you in all physical interactions. Imagine how wonderful it would be to live in a world where all views were allowed, and no one asked anyone else to change in order for the other to feel comfortable and safe.

Divine Source has also set it up this way from the earliest time to ensure a broad range of viewpoints, experience, desire and a varied asking for MORE. This stimulates continued Universal expansion in many directions and keeps everything divinely balanced. If we all had the same reality, the same experiences and desires, the expansion would be one dimensional and unsustainable, but because of the wide variety of Life Plays, we are all experiencing different things and asking for more in a multitude of areas.

How you came to be YOU then you… your soul group, family, youth and life experiences..

(courtesy of http://www.more4kids.info)
We are all one family we are all ONE!


First, an introduction to your soul, soul mates and soul-group—even though they have known you forever!

Long before you incarnated into the body that you now inhabit, you came into conscious being as a shining silver and gold string of light and love energy. You were pure love, pure energy and pure consciousness. You knew you were YOU and you knew that you were not alone, because you were intertwined with many many other similar soul strands that formed different branches, many interweaving to form roots and ultimately the trunk of the tree of universal source energy that is the life force of creation in the universe.

You had the ability to focus your thoughts and energy and through the law of attraction, which operates in both the physical and non-physical dimensions of the universe, you were able to use your creativity and desire to manifest into the physical.

You found it so very enticing to know “Who You Really Are”, which is a piece of divine source energy with the magnificent power to create anything you desire from your own thoughts and focus. You also knew that you, and all your connected souls, each linked by the thin silver threads of source energy, expanded the entire universe with your desires and creations. You literally stretched the boundaries of what was, what was indeed possible, and created out of nothing but thought and desire things that were once impossible.

This true creative power was so intoxicating to you, that you desired to use it again and again in an ever changing environment so you could experience different scenarios in the physical plane and develop new desires and create new things. Since you are an eternal being, the idea of using one lifetime did not seem enjoyable to you, for you wished to use this creative power again and again, adding each time, a perfect pearl of life incarnation to the strand of soul energy that remained at the core, eternal, always safe, always protected and always pure divinity.

Since you wanted each incarnation to be fresh, and since you so enjoyed discovering over and over your VAST creative power and your own exciting soul identity, you chose to come into the physical plane with a type of amnesia related to your power, so you could see it as freshly as a new born baby would see it.

Of course, you were far from a new born baby, because each incarnation you lived, provided you with vast knowledge and experience that focused your desires and expanded your soul and all of that wisdom and knowledge were available to you. With each incarnation, you were literally MORE than you were before, and so was the universe.

You moved through these lives and continue to move through these lives, but you do not do it alone. You are accompanied on your journey to a varying degree by soul mates, which are members of your original soul branch and are bound close to you vibrationally, as two gold strands are twined together on a necklace. There are many soul mates on a soul branch, and in each lifetime, they may play different roles. Sometimes one of your soul mates is your sister, another time, your mother, another time a lover. Many people believe that there is only one soul mate in this world for each person, and this is completely the opposite of what is true. There are countless soul mates, and most if not all of your immediate family are members of your soul-group. If you encounter a non-related individual who is a soul mate, you will feel a very strong sense of knowing them before, and either a very strong sense of friendship and love, or anger and distain. Soul mates can be here to give us the greatest love or show us the hardest time! During each lifetime they are there for you, and you for them to help you live out the scenarios that you thought you would enjoy during this incarnation. These are the soul beings who love you eternally, unconditionally and enthusiastically, and they will always answer YES to you when you ask from the soul perspective for them to participate in your life so you can experience a life situation that will expand your soul into ever growing knowledge of the world and the universe.

You are here to have experiences. As I said previously, there are no good or bad experiences or choices, there are only experiences and choices and it is your view of them that polarizes them. From the soul’s perspective, that knows there is no real death, that you can come back again and again, that the soul is always protected and nothing bad can happen to it or damage it because it is pure eternal divine energy, all experience is enthusiastically embraced and accepted. Additionally, a soul knows exactly what they are going to run into when they choose to come into the physical, and the universe never forces any soul to come into a life that they did not choose, that they did not excitedly anticipate and take part in creating.

As you pondered in the non-physical realm, the life that you wished to live, you chose the basic scenario, not the complete day to day details. You chose specific experiences you wanted to have that would create great desire within you for specific outcomes, and you asked your soul-group for assistance in creating these experiences in the physical plane. You created the outline for this LIFE PLAY and you lovingly assigned roles to those soul mates that would be incarnating with you or rendezvousing with you along the path you had chosen during this life. You all then looked for ways to assist each other so that all soul mates could grow and expand during the life time. All was planned with excited anticipation of the incarnation, the experiences, the desires, the creations and the ultimate expansion of the soul, soul-group and universe it would entail.

So, within any given soul-group, some individual soul strands with their own distinct personality and eternal consciousness will have a PART of their energy incarnated into the physical and some will not. The majority of the soul energy that is YOU remains in the realm of the divine and observes life on earth from the wider perspective of source energy.

The physical being gains the wisdom, energy and knowledge it needs by listening to the voice of soul and spirit within them, which is represented in many different ways. The voice of source may come in signs from the physical environment, such as bird song, a special book, a flower or a turn in the weather. The voice of source may be a real whispered word heard with the inner ear of your being. It is always represented by the way you feel, because your emotions are a direct indicator of your TRUTH at any given time, and your soul always keeps an EYE on your TRUTH. If you divert from your truth in the physical, your soul will always point you in the direction of your divine intentions that you set forth before incarnating, by giving you very strong emotional signals. You will always know when you are squarely on your life path because you will feel an amazing elation within your being that says YES—this is MY TRUTH and it is wonderful!

You come into this world over and over again to experience as many different life scenarios as you wish. From your current perspective, as a physical human, some of the life choices of others may seem more or less desirable to you. From the perspective of source, they are ALL good because they all create a desire for MORE. When you no longer desire MORE, you will move back into the realm of soul energy and cast off this present physical incarnation as easily as if it were a set of clothing. You will not miss this life, you will not miss the individuals who were in this life, because their souls will always be with you in your soul-group and your energy will forever be intertwined, one lifetime after another, experiencing life, choosing and creating desires and expanding the universe with each Life Play you enact.

Since the soul knows that nothing can harm it, and life in the physical is a temporary thing in the scheme of eternity, it may choose to live a life filled with bliss, or a life filled with fear, or a life filled with fame, or a life filled with disease. These are all valid choices for a soul that knows these are simply temporary incarnations or LIFE PLAYS, just as you may choose to go to a scary movie for the thrill of it, or think about living on a high mountain in Tibet. From the souls eternal perspective, its exactly the same thing, because the soul knows that there is only divine love energy surrounding it and the total support of the universe to experience any physical life scenario it chooses so as to gain wisdom, empathy, focus desires and ultimately expand.

So how do you expand the universe through your Life Plays?

From your very limited human perspective, you see your life experiences as happening TO you and most likely beyond your control, but obviously, from your small degree of focus, you have yet to discover that you are literally creating the world with your thoughts and desires.

Have any of you seen a crystal forming, or frost spreading across glass on a cold winter’s night?

The chakras— colored lights of the physical body

(http://www.sacredcenters.com/chakras.html)
You are a living rainbow of energy and light!

There are many exquisite portrayals of the energy chakras from ancient times, showing beautifully colored flowers overlaying the body. Each flower has a different number of petals and corresponds to a different vibrational energy center in the body.

Other traditions show the centers as wheels of light, others as rays of light. I like to think of my chakras as flower bud shaped energy centers that can twirl open as a bud unfolds and flowers in the morning light, and twirl closed in the twighlight as the plant goes to sleep.

The body has literally thousands of individual energy points, but for simplicity I will deal with the 7 major chakras, their representative colors, locations, related gland and what they are doing in your body for you. I will also cover a few other chakras that are of great use to women in general for creatively communicating with their environment and spirituality.

Lets take a look at the Rainbow of light:

1st--Crown Chakra—White—Pineal Gland--Just above the top of the head where the center fontanel existed as an infant. This is the many petaled lotus chakra and represents our divine interaction with spirituality. This is the center of peace and enlightenment. It is the highest vibrational chakra in the physical body, and it directs communication with our soul and with the universal consciousness. When you feel at one with the universe and divine love is coursing through your body, this is where it is coming through.

2nd--Brow Chakra or Third Eye Chakra—Purple—Pituitary Gland--Between the eyebrows two finger widths above the brow bone, this is the chakra of psychic vision, precognition and prophesy. This is the center of extra-sensory energy interpretation, which is an ability all human beings have to varying degrees. When you feel de ja vu, have prophetic dreams of read someones thoughts, you are using your inner vision through this energy center. The more you believe it is possible, the more you acknowledge these insights, the stronger your psychic muscle will get.

3rd--Throat Chakra—Blue—Thyroid Gland--Directly on the adams apple, at the center of the throat is the throat chakra. This is the chakra for speaking your voice and communicating your truth. It is also the chakra that helps you in your desire making changes in your life. If you find you are stifling your emotions and not telling others how you feel about things, you will have a feeling of closing off in this chakra as if you have a sore throat, or feel a huge “lump” in your throat when you are not allowing your emotions their natural flow through your body and are swallowing your feelings. Release of the emotions or a speaking of your truth will immediately release these blocks. When you are public speaking, standing up for your beliefs or trying to create compromise in your life, you are using the energy of this chakra.

Alter Major Chakra—Brown—This chakra is located on the BACK of your neck above your shoulder blades and it is the only chakra that opens up to the back of the body and spins in opposition to the other chakras. This is the chakra that “has your back” and if you listen to its signals it will literally give you “eyes in the back of your head”. This chakra will speak to you as hairs standing up on the back of your neck when something unwanted is impending. It will also speak to you as a miraculous opening and tingling as if your angel wings are spreading when you come into direct contact with divine energy in the form of spirit guides, guardian angels or earthly spirits. It will also flair remarkably when you come into contact with a soul mate or someone who will make a strong emotional connection with you and who is meant to promote spiritual growth within you.

4th—Heart Chakra—Pink OR Green—Thymus Gland and Lungs--Certain traditions view heart energy as pink, others, in line with the physical spectrum of light, place the chakra energy as green. You can choose which feels best for you when visualizing this amazing heart center. It is located a hand width below the collar bone notch directly between the breasts, and it is the center of romantic and emotional love and attachment. This is where you feel love of family, romantic love, love of self and universal love and acceptance. The heart chakra has the amazing ability to send forth energy cords that will connect directly with the heart chakras of those you love, almost like an energy umbilical chord that connects you always. These bonds can be balanced and go both ways, or they can go one way if another is not sending love in return, which can be very depleting. The heart bonds can also be broken when you separate emotionally from a love—and this is why it hurts so much to have a broken heart because the heart bonds are being severed and energy is leaking out of them. In a later chapter, I will discuss ways to evaluate heart bonds and tools to keep them healthy, or heal them if they are no longer serving you.

Xiphoid Process-Lower Heart Chakra—muddy pink or green—Directly on the physical xiphoid process which is the very tip of the sternum, suspended directly below the ribcage connection and near the diaphragm, this is the lowest of the heart chakras and it is the center of personal guilt. You may find that even to touch this tiny protrusion brings you pain because there is so much negative energy, disappointment and personal and familial guilt focused there. This is the place where every negative comment, every “should have” every “must do” and every “not good enough” will settle into your body. Whenever you feel not good enough or guilty about anything, you feel that “sinking feeling in your stomach” and that’s the xiphoid process speaking. The minute you release these negative emotions that are holding you back, with full knowing through your soul that you are wonderful just the way you are and that the universe is unfolding your life with you exactly as it should, that area becomes filled with love and light for you and no one will be able to make you feel guilty again for not being who THEY want you to be. I will discuss ways of clearing this area in a subsequent chapter.

5th—Solar Plexus—Power Chakra—Yellow—Pancreas, Liver and Abdominal Organs--Directly under the the xiphoid process and diaphragm, you can feel this chakra when you place your palm below your breasts on the top of your tummy. This is the center of your PERSONAL power. This is where YOU are shining like the sun, as it is the center of your personal identity. This is where you are drawing fortitude and motivation and gumption and a feeling of being invincible. This is where you are feeling you are all powerful and you are goddess and can make anything happen in your world. The solar plexus is also a highly evolved energy interpreter and is the center of your intuition. When you have butterflies in your stomach, or feel sick to your stomach, it is both times, your solar plexus speaking to you because it is reading the vibrational energy of what is about to come into your life and it is sending you a strong signal—by dumping adrenalin into your solar plexus chakra and body—whether what is to come is beneficial or not. This is what people are talking about when they say “listen to your gut” or you have a “gut feeling about something or someone”. When the solar plexus speaks, do not second guess by thinking with your intellect. If you trust it and listen to its guidance, it will continue to strengthen into a very powerful tool for you to read your environment and your immediate future. When energy is low in other chakras, you can always draw forth the energy in the solar plexus chakra to energize the other chakras, and I will be discussing that process in another chapter.

6th—Sacral Chakra—Navel Chakra—Orange—Reproductive Organs--Directly below the belly button, in the center of your abdomen, above your uterus is the Sacral Charka. This is the center of your sexual energy, the center of your powerful emotions and the center of the balance between your masculine and feminine aspects, as depicted through the ying/yang symbol. This is also the center for self acceptance. Oriental traditions also place the Hara in this area which is the center of chi or life energy and a receptacle for prana, which is the divine life force given to humans through the breath. When you feel sexual arousal, sexual bonding, chemistry or magnetism, you are feeling it with this very powerful chakra. This is the center of the Divine Feminine and creativity and is representative of amazing power and unlimited potential. When you honor your creative side and allow that to flow into your life, you are using energy from this chakra, whether it is creating a beautiful painting or a beautiful baby, it is the center of all physical creation on earth. This is also the center where you will feel and send out strong emotions, such as anger and rage. It is a chakra most in need of balancing, because the energy can get very high and you can feel agitated. This is why its important to honor your sexual needs and also balance your emotional reactions to situations by releasing and balancing the energy in this chakra, which I will discuss in a later chapter. This is also the chakra where you can come into communication with your masculine side. The soul is neither masculine nor feminine, but contains aspects of both. It is very beneficial for a woman to be able to access masculine aspects of herself so she can feel her power and own her sexuality.

7th—Root Chakra—Ground Chakra—Red—Organs of Elimination and Adrenal Glands--Located at the tip of your tail bone or coccyx and expressing energy through your perineum (area directly below the vaginal opening and above the anus) and clitoris this is your center of physical grounding. This is the lowest vibrational chakra and deals with primal life issues, such as survival, reproduction (it is the male sexual chakra), comfort and stability. This is also the home of the Kundalini energy, represented by the caduceus or snake, which is the ancient marriage between the goddess Shakti (creativity energy) and Shiva (intellectual energy). When you are connected through your root chakra, you are connected to the earth and you feel stable and grounded, drawing earth energy up through that chakra, which combines with the divine energy coming into the crown chakra, and you are centered and completely at peace and comfortable with where you are. If you have issues with stability, feeling safe, “having your head in the clouds” or an inability to focus on the maintenance aspects of life, you may need to work on root chakra energy, which we will discuss in a later chapter.

Palm and Sole Chakras—These chakras are represented by symbols and not colors and are located in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The hand chakras are represented by all-seeing eyes at the center of the palms and the feet chakras by roots going deeply into the ground. These chakras are energy senders and receivers. The right palm is generally used to send energy out and the left palm is generally drawing energy in for interpretation by the solar plexus. Whenever healers lay on hands, they are using these very sensitive and powerful chakras to detect energy shifts in the body and to send healing energy and light into the body. Individuals who practice Reiki and other body work utilize these chakras. The sole chakras are used to ground the body, literally sending energetic roots down into the earth. They keep a physical being from ascending into a higher spiritual level too rapidly, allowing a gentle transformation, as increased spiritual energy can be quite uncomfortable for the body before the body is ready for the new level. Acting like anchors, they also provide security to the physical body on the earthly plane. The sole chakras also aid the intuition by gauging the new arena a physical body is walking into—they test the water, test the thickness of the ice, and make sure the ground is stable. Did you ever wonder how your feet could be so sensitive to what you are walking over even through thick soled shoes? It is because the Sole chakras are reading the energy and assisting the nerve endings in the feet to get a better picture of you path.

Once you know that the chakras exist and a bit about what they represent in the body, you can take the next step and feel the chakra energy for yourself. Sit quietly in a comfortable position at a time you will not be disturbed. Have the environment comfortably warm and wear loose clothing or naked if you choose to be so. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths through your nose and out of your nose and get into a state of relaxation. Take your hands and rub them together vigorously in front of your face and feel the warmth in the palms of your hands. Take your right and and place it parallel to your body about 2-3 inches away and run it slowly from the very top of your head down the midline of your body to your pelvis and between your legs to your tailbone. You can also run your hand down the back of your neck, down your spine and to your tailbone if you are flexible. You will notice definite warm spots in the air above those chakra points that we have discussed. This is your chakra energy coming out and interacting with the environment and the universals energy
