Creating Your New Life in 2015 with Light:
Now is the Time

by | Jan 15, 2015 | Archangel Messages, Teleconferences |



Dear Ones,

Over the centuries in every generation there were only a few souls who could embody their Divinity. In the new year of 2015, the number of people who awaken to their true divine nature will be unprecedented. The level of creation that is possible will seem almost magical, yet it simply represents alignment with your most Divine, Eternal and Illuminated self.


In this year, you are able to create a new reality from fields of empowered Light weaving forms made up of qualities of higher consciousness. As you awaken into the Light of Divine Presence, you find freedom to soar above the mundane and yet create in clear practical ways. Working within these multidimensional levels allows you to bring Heaven to Earth. From this place you can receive the impulses of your soul’s gifts to activate in this lifetime.


In this year, you will come to know the power of the forces of Divine Light as a Tool for the Creation of your most Empowered Future. The dimensional shifts that have occurred opened the way for you to receive at a new level of frequency. You are here to see your dreams manifest, when they are desires coming forth from your soul to summon the energy that empowers you to bring your gifts into the world.


Empowered by Light

The power that you need to bring your dreams into the physical realm is aligning to greatly inspire your next steps in life in the 5th dimension. You will be amazed at the level of non-physical support that is available to create new form on the physical level.


Your human form now has the capacity to hold the evolution of your spiritual presence. As you embody your soul gifts within your physical form and anchor your desires through the base chakra, you give yourself permission to live the fullest essence of your divinity in the world. The more deeply you feel alignment with the Divine Intelligence within your heart, the more gracefully you allow yourself to have your dreams and live in joyous, confident enthusiasm.


Creating with Light

Creating form with Light becomes the daily practice that unites your most Divine Self with your human body. Your breath becomes the link, your awareness opens the door, and your vision becomes a divine tool when sparked by your true Soul essence. All that is required is to anchor the new frequencies that hold your empowered future within your being.


When you immerse yourself in Divine Light, new frequencies entrain the field around your body and you have access to the Love and Intelligence that lives within your heart. There is no power on Earth that can match the Divinity inherent in the Light of God.


Allow yourself conscious immersion in this loving Presence. It is what your heart is longing for. It is what your illumined mind is drawn to experience. Echoes of the ancient teachings reverberate in your being as your soul remembers how to create form with Light as it did in the ancient temples.


The more harmony you experience within your emotional state, the more you are living in your full essence.
It is an amazing time to be alive, to dream big and align with your soul’s essence expanding and blending into human form.


If you feel your way is blocked, pull back into your heart, and give yourself the time to come into full alignment with your most Divine Essence, that which guides your way. This action will help you feel the capacity to have all you desire, and expand your energy to receive it. This also allows you to be in harmony with Divine Timing. Turning your life over to the Divine Presence working in and through you represents perfect alignment with your Soul’s requirements for the next step in your life.


Drafting the energy

When you notice that others are living in peaceful harmony in their life and manifesting their dreams, this means you also have that possibility. It is the cosmic version of drafting the energy that goes before you. Like migrating geese, you are moving together in agreement with the divine impulse within all beings to discover the new expanded territory in which you can live your soul’s essence.


Geese fly in the draft of the air behind their leaders. These geese are following the energetic flow of the wings of those that go before them, and it makes their way easier. That is the situation on Earth now as those who are on the first wave of ascension open the way for others to follow.


As they align their energy with the flow of all Creation working in their lives, more people are awakening to their true divine nature and feeling the spark that enables their dreams to manifest. Joyous possibilities exist that profoundly affect all those who resonate with their Soul’s essence. Creating on the physical level becomes an action of Intention fully integrated into the Divine Light you anchor in your world.


The dynamic gifts of your soul manifest as frequencies in your field of Light. Anchoring that vibration in your physical body becomes a demonstration that you are aligning your physical, mental and emotional bodies with the dreams inspired by your soul to live in the world with greater power, joy and love.

When you have identified that which causes your heart to sing in anticipation on a pure feeling level, you have access to this quality of consciousness. Focusing on these exalted states daily will change your vibration as those frequencies find their ground in you.


Simple, timeless practices

Ancient systems were developed that activate your conscious ability to receive Light. Most of these have been brushed aside in the hope of new, more powerful teachings. However, in many ways the simplicity and the clarity of the tools to expand conscious awareness remain the same. For instance, accessing the elements of subtle energy through your breath remains one of the quickest ways to raise your vibration.


Sitting in an exalted state of Love brings the power of that force of Light into every cell of your body. Bathing yourself in pure Joy opens the way for your brain to create new neuropathways. Allowing Peace to prevail in your heart creates the most nourishing Home you ever imagined.


We are using these potent words as the energetic tools they have become in new 5th dimensional energy. Each word holds an exalted vibration that you can literally feel in your body. This is your soul speaking through the language of vibration. Your feelings are your spirit’s way to spark the awareness of your choices.


There are infinite choices and possibilities expanding in your world now within the waves of Divine Light. There are, in fact, so many choices that overwhelm has become common among you. This overwhelm occurs when you are trying to mentally figure out which choice is best. It is infinitely more simple to use your feeling nature to sort out the choices that would most benefit your life. Your soul speaks through the language of feelings using these magnetic qualities to draw them into your experience.


When you create intentional spaces within and without for your spiritual practice, it allows your body to acclimate to higher frequencies and to use them for creation of your new empowered life.


In the ancient temples, this practice was the most relevant and purposeful way to create form. New realities were made from frequencies of Light focused and inspired by higher dimensional energies. Your soul knows these abilities; it is a part of your heritage. It is why you came into this life with a highly developed and sensitive nervous system. You have been unlike those you knew and did not feel nurtured by popular culture. Your soul waited for this time to bring the ancient gifts forward.


Your preparation has been extensive. You have so much information, so many lessons learned, cleared so much karma and old belief systems that you wonder when it will open to create manifestation of your heart’s desires in your life.


Now is the time

The time is now in 2015 as you begin to put your soul’s gifts into practice and align with its purpose. As you gain access to exalted states, there needs to be a grounded system in place that will take the frequencies of Light and connect them in your body for the new, growing crystalline system.


Creation of form can begin within your inner Temple of Light which is dedicated to the awakening of new forms in your life that are in harmony with your Source energy. It is an activity that befits that exalted awareness of your destiny. It uses ancient tools and modern focus to bring Light and Clarity into your being.


This practice of alignment with qualities of consciousness becomes the Beacon of Light that you express in the world. This practice draws to you all those who can assist you in translating the dream to reality, opportunities to share your love and wisdom, and people who can love and support you as well as enjoy your presence in their life.


Creating form from Light is the focus of this new year, and from that your Illuminated soul is birthed into new life on Earth. Your honoring of your dreams becomes an aspect of Love. Loving and respecting yourself enough to acknowledge the desires of your soul allows your heart to fully expand. You will find a new ability to bring your dreams into fruition when they are in alignment with your Source energy.


Step into the Light Field you created

You would not have the desire without the means to fulfill it. Check into your heart and see if your dream is in harmony with your soul essence. Become familiar with the resonance of a soul-based desire and that which a personality desire creates within you. When you feel in harmony, you can step into the field of Light you have created within the personal sacred sanctuary that holds the frequencies you want to express.


Do not allow doubt to interfere with your unfolding process of awakening. As the Light gains more strength, there is a new power also birthing. It is strength and integrity within your being to hold higher frequencies that can be transmitted into the outer world.


When your personal spiritual practice helps you to align with Source energy, you have new freedom to express great Creativity and Joy. Know that you can move forward in your life and align yourself with those who are already living peaceful lives in harmony with their greatest dreams and their soul’s gifts.


There is no need for competition. This is the time for a great cooperative wave of creation that allows you to ride the crest of its flow and manifest your dreams on Earth. The Divine Light awaits your direction.


And so it is.

10 Health Benefits of Conscious Breathwork | OM Times By Bob Sima


10 Health Benefits of Conscious Breathwork | OM Times

By Bob Sima


We all want to be healthy, vibrant, disease and pain free. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an easy, free, and always available source to draw from to help us accomplish that? We watch what we eat; we exercise; we take supplements; we practice yoga. As obvious as it sounds, have you ever considered that one of the keys to optimal health is right under your nose? Who would have thought that controlling the breath (both consciously and intentionally) and breathing optimally could actually improve your health? The yogis of ancient India knew this. When we were young we were all told to take a deep breath when we got upset. Well, why did we stop at one? We innately know that it calms us down, but did you know that you could actually affect your entire autonomic nervous system with the practice of conscious breathwork?


I invite you to experience this for yourself. Try this practical exercise, while listening to the song “Breathe.”


Blow all of the air out of your lungs, pushing and squeezing it out with your stomach muscles. Go much farther than you think you can. Keep pushing, pushing, pushing. When you have nothing – and I mean nothing – left:


* Inhale deeply through your nose, expanding the belly first (not the chest area) for a count of 4
* Hold the breath at the top of the inhale for a 7-count
* Release the breath through your mouth, slowly controlling the exhale for an 8-count


Realize that as this becomes a practice over time, this top 10 list of health benefits will start to materialize:


10 Health Benefits of Conscious Breathwork:


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 1 – Reduce Anxiety


Most of us are in constant, low-grade stress and we tend to breathe shallow and quickly. Deep and conscious breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which kicks off the natural relaxation response. This is the exact opposite of a stress response. Breathe slower, deeper, and more consciously to reduce anxiety.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 2 – Increase Clarity and Focus


Slow, conscious breathing fully oxygenates the brain. Try three slow, deep, conscious breaths the next time you are about to make a big decision. Feel the clarity. Notice your ability to focus more intentionally on the subject at hand.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 3 – Elevate Mood


Ancient Shamanistic and Pranayama teachers in India reached altered states of consciousness through breathwork. Through a practice of noticing and, thus, controlling your breathing, you can create a consistent elevated mood with deep, slow, and conscious breaths throughout your day.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 4 – Feed Healthy Cells


Cancer can’t live… where? The 1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to Otto Warburg who discovered that cancer cells cannot thrive in a highly oxygenated environment. A preventative measure? Take deeper breaths.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 5 – Allow Your Skin to Breathe


The skin is in! Deep, slow, conscious breaths stimulate blood flow to the skin for a more radiant and natural glow.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 6 – Promote Digestion


A relaxed body supports proper organ function. We need healthy organ function to support our body’s unmanaged and systematic activities including digestion, elimination, and absorption.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 7 – Oxidative Stress


Deliberate breathing delivers more oxygen to your tissues. This increases the amount of oxygen in the body’s tissues and reduces the risk of hundreds of diseases.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 8 – Reduce Cravings


Deep, conscious breathing can avert the need for an outside substance. Next time you reach for the diet soda (or whatever your vice is!), take three conscious breaths and ask yourself if you really want the side effects from it. Feel the empowerment within yourself. Go from substances to substance.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 9 – Lower Blood Pressure


Long, slow, deep breaths fully oxygenate the heart muscle. This reduces heart rate and blood pressure.


Conscious Breathwork Benefit 10 – Sleep Sweetly


Deep, conscious breathing is known to stimulate the pineal gland, which is associated with sleep patterns. You may also notice more lucid dreaming.

NorthPoint Astrology Journal ~ by Pam Younghans November 3 to 9, 2014




NorthPoint Astrology Journal

~ by Pam Younghans
November 3 to 9, 2014



Highlighted Aspects:
 MON: Chiron trine Venus, Uranus quincunx Venus, Pluto sextile Sun; WED: Chiron trine Sun, Uranus quincunx Sun; THU: Full Moon 2:22pm PST; FRI: Chiron sesquisquare Mercury; SAT: Saturn semisquare Mars, Neptune square Ceres, Mercury enters Scorpio; SUN: Jupiter square Venus




THE FULL MOON
on Thursday is our most important astrological event of the coming week -- and, since this lunar cycle began with the Solar Eclipse on October 23, it carries the potential for more life-changing impact and insights than most Full Moons.

Even the First Quarter Moon last Thursday (October 30) seemed more significant than others of its kind. There was a definite shift of energy around that day, as we opened more fully to the new life directions that were initiated with the Solar Eclipse.

The heightened energies and the push for change we've just experienced were no doubt also related to an increase in the number of high-level solar flares. According to SpaceWeather.com, there were 26 M-level flares and six X-level flares during the last two weeks of October -- and many of those occurred in that week between the Solar Eclipse on October 23 and the First Quarter Moon.

THURSDAY'S LUNATION occurs with the Moon in Taurus opposing the Sun and Venus in Scorpio. The potentials inherent in every Full Moon include insights and enhanced awareness (due to the brightness of the Moon) and the need to find new balance between a set of polarities (due to the opposition between the Sun and Moon).

A Full Moon in Taurus provides the opportunity for us to see our core values in a new light. It reminds us of the need for stability and inner peace as a way to manage -- and even thrive in -- our current life experience. At the same time, with the Sun in Scorpio, we are cautioned not to just "put a smiley face on an empty gas meter," but to get clear on our underlying motivations and deeper emotional needs.

VENUS plays an important role in this Full Moon for two reasons. As mentioned, Venus is conjunct the Sun at the time of the lunation. Venus is also the planetary "ruler" of Taurus, giving her an elevated position of influence in events this week.

This means that themes of love, heart expansion, resources (financial and otherwise) and relationships are fully integrated into the energies of the Full Moon. We may find in this lunar light new ways to approach these areas of our lives, and new ways to enhance our fulfillment -- not by ignoring trouble spots, but by embracing the dark as a necessary complement to the light.

A POWERFUL THREESOME -- Uranus, Pluto and Mars -- also contribute their energies to Thursday's Full Moon. Their aspects to the lunation are not overly noteworthy by usual standards (Pluto/Mars trine the Moon, Uranus semisextile), but these three planets are building to a very significant alignment early next week. This means we may get some hints (or even manifestations) during the Full Moon that relate to the upcoming Pluto-Mars alignment (exact November 10) and the Uranus-Mars square (exact November 12).

We'll talk more about the Pluto-Mars-Uranus effect in next week's journal, of course. But in the meantime, we'll want to be aware that the conduits for change (aka the Pluto-Uranus square) are again lining up and could start to flow their energies before the dates of exact aspect.

IN THESE TIMES of change, the importance of remembering to BREATHE cannot be overemphasized. It is no coincidence that so many disciplines -- both spiritual and physical -- use conscious breathing as a part of their practice.

Women preparing for childbirth learn breathing techniques to help the birthing process. Breath awareness is the foundation for many yoga practices. Abraham-Hicks uses rhythmic breathing as an integral part of the "Getting into the Vortex" meditations. The Optimal Breathing Mastery website explains that "Optimal breathing can prevent many illnesses common to our day." The list goes on and on.

The bottom line is that when we focus on our breathing, something happens in a very positive way. It aids physical relaxation, it helps us focus, it reduces emotional tension and stress. The LiveStrong website explains the physical effects this way:

    "Deep breathing provides your body's cells with oxygen, which helps you absorb nutrients. It stimulates your lymphatic system to get rid of toxins. Breathing deeply also helps support your central nervous system." 

ALTHOUGH Taurus is an earth sign, and breathing technically is associated with the air sign Gemini, I feel that this week's Full Moon supports our using conscious breathing. The Taurus connection applies because consciously inhaling and exhaling requires a heightened awareness of our physical body.

Taurus, at its heart, desires inner peace, and uses the five physical senses to help achieve serenity. This is why Taureans are often drawn to music, aromas and foods, beauty in all forms, massage (and hugs!) and nature. Each provides a sensory experience that can comfort the body and soothe the soul.

As we make ourselves available to the gifts of Thursday's Full Moon, and also prepare for the potentials of the Pluto-Uranus-Mars effect, conscious breathing can both help satisfy the Taurean needs for serenity and comfort, and provide a way to keep our energies stable during otherwise unstable times.
Blessings,

Pam
