Tania Gabrielle: Welcome October: Evolve, Empower, Embrace!

Welcome October – an empowering 13 Universal Month! Within a couple days Pluto stations direct! Pluto and the number 13 embody the same message: Evolving through Transformation Empowerment through Internal Shifts Embracing Unexpected Endings and Beginnings Parts of your life will come to some kind of culmination or ending, so that you can begin refreshed and renewed. You will be confronted in a 13 cycle by the patterns and habits you've put in play. Old ways are swept away if they are no longer creating high vibrational results... Change is natural. And 13 embodies the seasonal and lunar cycles of change. How amazing that 13 weeks make up each of our 4 seasons, and we have 13 lunations in one solar year! In 13 the Divine Feminine is merged with Empowerment - and that is the underlying shift propelling all of humanity now - bringing the Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine into BALANCE. This shift requires recalibration, restructuring, release and purging of the old... Sudden growth spurts are very much part of 13 cycles as is steady growth, patience and trusting in the timing of things. When you add that Pluto is changing into forward motion at the onset of October’s 13 Universal Month, there is a palpable uncertainty in play. Uncertainty tests your ability to stay at PEACE. As long as you TRUST in the Divine order, like the four seasons which never stop evolving, you have the inner fortitude to move through any changes! Pluto’s big impact brings purging to a major crescendo this month. It all begins on October 1 when Venus squares Pluto right as Pluto is totally still before stationing (pivoting) into forward motion. Venus square Pluto impacts your intimate relationships and invites you to go deeply into control issues. Observe whether you are fearful or feel unloved – often these lead to jealousy, manipulation or possessiveness. Relieve the tension by focusing on a creative project. You have a highly active imagination this month… Welcome surprises as gifts in disguise. Tune in consciously to incredible inner growth... It will require letting go of old ways. And when the unexpected appears, keep your eyes on the solution. Notice what perspective SHIFTS you into a pro-active state. Stick with that pro-active, positive perspective! You are now at the precipice of an exciting new adventure! Discover a lot more about this month’s incredible star code in October’s edition of the Premium Wealth Forecast. Listen to free excerpt for October HERE! Love and Blessings, Tania Gabrielle P.S. The Premium Wealth Forecast is released monthly prior to the start of each month and reveals the in-depth universal star code forecast for every single day.

Ann Albers: The Heart Has Its Reasons

The Heart Has Its Reasons

a message from Ann Albers

Saturday, 11 March, 2017  (posted 16 March, 2017)

 

My dear friends, we love you so very much,


While there is nothing wrong with being a “creature of habit,” it is your habits that either enliven you or slowly cause your energy to withdraw from life. Life is meant to be lived openly, as an adventure and an exploration of self.


Life is a never ending series of present moments in which you get to choose your experience, based on your God given guidance and soul-level desires.


Your desires inspired you to grow. Your guidance tries to help you grow gracefully and kindly.


For example, say you desire a relationship. That is wonderful. The desire itself begins to draw life force through you. Suddenly your mind starts to take over. “It must be this kind of person and not that. He/she must look like this and not that,” or sometimes worse, “Forget it. Relationships hurt. Better to avoid them!"


Then you meet someone. Your instincts tell you that you want to get to know them better, but the mind starts chattering, “They don’t look like what we expected. What if they’re not ’the one’? You know relationships hurt, just give up!" You talk yourself out of your natural instinct to get to know them better. In doing so you rob yourself of the gifts life has to offer.


There could be a whole variety of reasons you are guided to get to know this person. Perhaps they could help you with career. Maybe they would become a friend who would help you feel safe in the world. Possibly they would be exactly the type of person you've been with in the past and this would give you a chance to trust yourself, and leave, when you see the warning signs a few weeks into the relationship. Maybe they're a potential love. The possibilities are endless.


Perhaps you have a desire to try something new - a class, a food, a career, or a hobby. Your heart feels excited. Your mind starts to offer all sorts of reasons why you should ignore the heart, “You’re too old. You don’t have enough time. You read an article on the Internet that says this isn't good for you. What makes you think you could that?” Your mind make excuses and you give up before you even give your heart a chance.


Maybe you would not have liked the new food, but you would have learned something useful from someone in the grocery store or restaurant. Maybe you wouldn’t have maintained the hobby, but you’d meet a dear friend along the way. Maybe you're guided into a new career and then fired, only to discover this is a stepping stone to your dream job.


If you don’t listen to the heart, you may never discover its reasons. If you don’t remain open to life and your instincts in each moment, you might miss the fullest life you could be living.


Dear ones, we honor your need to grow on earth but we always attempt to guide you to grow in the most kind and loving way possible. We attempt to guide you to grow in ways you wish to grow when possible. We attempt to help you grow in love.


Use your minds, by all means, to review the past, but always pay attention as well to how you feel right here, right now. While the mind may argue against the heart, the heart always knows the kindest and most loving path... in each moment.


God Bless You! We love you so very much.
-- The Angels

Message From Ann 

This has been the year I’m challenging myself to “Try something new.” When a thought doesn't make me happy, I remind myself to "try something new." For example, earlier in the year when I created a health challenge, I caught myself saying, "How many more times do I have to do this to learn!" The thought didn't make me happy so I changed it. "Thank God I've learned and I'm done with this!" I could feel my energy rising immediately and my entire body relaxed.


I caught myself one week, dipping into a very, very old whine, "No one cares about me," and immediately changed it to a better thought, "Life loves me!" I got the sweetest outpouring of thank you notes and kindnesses shown to me within days!


I've been challenging myself to give up old stuff in the house that is past its prime and treat myself to upgrades. I've been trying new foods that appeal, new books... and it has been fun!


Change breathes fresh air into our minds, hearts, homes, bodies, souls, and lives. But it isn't always easy. I may want new towels, but giving up my old ones was like giving away old comfy friends! I may want new thoughts but giving up my old ones requires some willpower and dedication. I may want to try new foods but that meant I have to branch out a bit and risk a little failure here and there. Change requires letting go.

I was pondering the joy of being like a child and "trying something new” on Monday, while making hard boiled eggs for snacking this week. They're really yummy with a drizzle of olive oil, a dab of Dijon & Dill, and a sprinkle of Hawaiian black salt!


Back to the point, the eggs were cooked and I was carefully dumping them into a strainer in the sink, trying not to crack them prematurely, when I heard the most delightful voice in my head…


“See how gladly the eggs jump out of the pot, releasing themselves from the boiling water, joyous about being cracked open and released unto their new life!”

The language was quaint but the message was clear and beautiful! The angel in my head was reaffirming my desire to release old patterns, habits, etc… to leave the "shells" that had both protected and confined! Sweet!


See how gladly we can leap from situations that are behind us, and no longer work. See how gladly we can release the shells of our old past programming and release ourselves into delicious new thoughts, new circumstances, and new life. See how gladly was can embrace change!


I felt the familiar angelic warmth embrace me and radiate from my heart with an exquisite tenderness. To the angels every single moment is new, never before experienced, and never to be seen again. Change is exciting, an opportunity for a new experience, a new joy!


I smiled, thinking of all I wish to create this lifetime, all I wish to experience, and all the change that will required. Gladly, in God’s time – just like those eggs – I will jump!


Here are a few tips to help you "gladly jump" this week...



1. Pay attention to your loving desires


When you feel a desire in the moment to do something, say something loving, or try something that appeals and feels wholesome (because your guidance is always loving), say it, do it, try it.


Pick up the phone and call that person you are thinking about. Write the email. Sign up for a class. Get outside and take a walk. Take a ten minute nap. Look at that new career online. Go up to that stranger and compliment them! (You know you want to!) Get the food that sounds appealing and healthy. Politely bow out of a conversation that is annoying or boring you.


I rarely call clients because I have a wonderful assistant, but once I had an urge so strong to call a particular person that it was positively urgent. I picked up the phone and dialed... and interrupted a suicide in progress. This person is still alive today due to that guidance.


When you feel something that sounds loving, wholesome, appealing… say it, do it, try it. Trust. The heart has its reasons.



2. Use Your Mind, but Don’t Let it Rule You


Sometimes we’re disconnected from our hearts. We’ve ignored them for so long we can’t hear our true desires. Instead you hear secondary desires that don't really satisfy.


For example, say you’ve ignored your desire to eat food that nurtures you for so long that you are now low on energy. Now your body wants sugar, carbs, and things your mind already knows from past experience don’t feel so good. Thank the mind for reminding you. Now sit quietly and ask your heart… Heart what does my body really want right now? You’ll get the answer.


Suppose you have ignored your need for joy. You meet someone. Your heart really wants this person to be “it” because you're lonely. The mind tells you, “You’re seeing red flags, things that aren’t right. Be careful.” Thank your mind for pointing out the warning signs. Next, ask your heart, “What do I want in life for my own joy? What do I want in relationship.” Listen. Then use the mind to see if your true desires are being met in this current situation or not. Be honest with yourself. Askyour heart, “What next?”


Your mind is a useful tool for analyzing current situations against knowledge, past experience, and desired outcomes. Used correctly, it can inform you and let you know whether or not something is in alignment with your heart.



3. Every now and then have a little “heart time”


In this age of so much information, we all need a little time to get back in touch with our hearts. We know when we’re disconnected. We feel stressed, tired, angry, upset, ill, etc. At these times it is important to spend some quiet time alone.


Journal, ponder, walk in nature, listen to beautiful music. Ask your heart, “What do you need? Where am I listening? Where am I ignoring you? Given my desires, what next?”


Have a beautiful week listening to your beautiful hearts, and may you “Gladly jump” when the time is right for delightful change!


Love you all!


Ann

January 2015 Astro-Energy Report: Don’t React, Reflect! by Sarah Varcas | Astro-Awakenings

January 2015 Astro-Energy Report: Don’t React, Reflect!

by Sarah Varcas | Astro-Awakenings

Energy builds in the sign of Aquarius as January progresses, offering a much needed mental spring-clean. Simultaneously an alliance between Uranus and the South Node reminds us it is sometimes the most familiar things which need discarding, whether our de-cluttering is internal or external. It’s no good focusing only on those things which stand out like a sore thumb, that we simply never found the right place for. This month we must look around with fresh eyes at those aspects of our lives we know best – be they physical possessions, thoughts, feelings or attachments – to establish which have outlived their usefulness and are sitting there purely because we’ve gotten used to their presence and would feel uncomfortable about the space left behind were we to get rid.


The fact is we need that space, no matter how uncomfortable it may at first feel. Uranus on the South Node reminds us we each have our own inherent uniqueness with which to fuel our life but it becomes increasingly difficult to allow it to shine if we remain surrounded by the trappings of an existence now passed and an identity that was simply a staging post and never intended as a final destination. The coming month offers the opportunity to sort through some of the detritus with which we’ve surrounded ourselves and decide what needs to stay and what needs to go.


There are two important questions to consider as we do so. For every possession, every thought, habit or feeling, we must ask: Does it limit or liberate? Does it raise or reduce our energy? This is all that matters now and learning how to make decisions based upon these two questions alone will greatly enhance our ability to recreate ourselves and our lives as this year progresses. Some things are easier to let go than others. The euphoria of a good clear out which refreshes the space around us may be short lived if we continue to cling to the better camouflaged features in our lives: those which blend in so well we barely notice them and the space they occupy. Most likely they are thoughts and feelings which have been around so long and become such an intrinsic part of our nature they are simply scenery much like the sky: always there so we tend to walk on without looking up and noticing it. ‘That’s just the way I am’ we tell ourselves if life brings them to our attention. ‘Nothing’s going to change that bit of me. Like it or lump it’. Or it may be something we identify with so strongly that the notion of releasing it feels akin to cutting off a hand, and why on earth would we want to do that?! Until, that is, we reflect upon those questions: Does it limit or liberate? Does it raise or reduce our energy? Frank answers may reveal exactly how far these treasured thoughts, feelings and possessions have served to keep us chained.


When traversing the domain of Aquarius our thoughts must take us so far outside the box that it becomes a mere dot on the horizon. Simultaneously the nature of our mind is reflected back to us in every aspect of our lives, somewhat like a prism refracting and reflecting light in all its frequencies at once. What we think becomes our world: the people in it, the possessions we choose, the place we live, the job we do, the person we are. All are shaped by our mind and our relationship with it. When energy builds in this Air sign we have an opportunity to renew and refresh our mental world which, in turn, refreshes everything around and within us. Given an on-going T Square formed by Pluto, Uranus and the North Node throughout this month, the impact of questioning ourselves and our lives in this way will be felt profoundly as we begin to recognise just how deeply we have believed the mind’s lies: playing small to manage anxiety and fear or clinging fast to fading truths which no longer hold water, purely because the prospect of living with the limbo of their absence feels too nihilistic to be bearable. But bear it we can, and we must, if we are to create the space in which the new can germinate its seeds as the year progresses.


The Full Moon in Cancer on 4th/5th January supports this quest, offering an opportunity to discover the powerfully creative energies which can be unleashed by just such self-enquiry. It illuminates our tendency to identify with certain aspects of the self and conveniently over look those misaligned with our desired self-image. Simultaneously it invites us to expand that self-image in ways that may previously have felt beyond our reach. It demands some risks whilst rewarding them with a heightened understanding of what constitutes the self and the power we have over its shape and character. The subsequent New Moon in Aquarius on 20th January offers the opportunity to capitalise on this understanding, enabling the insights we have gained in the intervening days to be concretised into manifest change and new beginnings. We can begin to experience, rather than simply believe, the fact that redefining who we are can become the very bedrock of change in our lives, and that we must be prepared to relinquish not only that which we know to be holding us back but also that to which we cling for security in the face of unknowable and unpredictable change. If we want things to be different from here on in, if we want 2015 to be a year in which we manifest the fruits of our commitment to growth and expansion, we must be willing to give up even those things we were so sure would be part of our future, a core aspect of our essential self.


This call to place everything on the altar and see what happens is one of the most profound challenges of this evolutionary time for it takes us outside of our ‘spiritual comfort zone’ in which we expand only as much and as far as safety and security will allow. It highlights our tendency to compare ourselves to others rather than to our own potential. To find those with whom we wish to align and those with whom we don’t and then mould ourselves accordingly, failing to take into account our own unique path and the need to be who we are, not emulate the path of another. The truths so central to someone else’s life may be beyond redundant in our own and we need to discover now if that’s true. Indeed, our own truths, so precious up to now, may also prove to be little more than empty concepts and meaningless words in the face of the burgeoning possibilities awaiting us the other side of letting go.


Throughout this month it is internal stressors rather than external challenges in need of attention. No matter the trigger, external or not, attending to how we react and respond is essential now if we want to move forward in a positive and meaningful direction. Much has fallen away from us in recent years, including old beliefs and outmoded ways of living. What we have left now is a mixture of new possibilities and old habits so deeply ingrained they feel as much a part of ourselves as our own heartbeat. For the former to flourish we need to take the latter in hand. We do this by honing our focus on how we interpret the events of our lives, the behaviour of those around us and the complexities presented each day merely by being human. Understanding others and the external world is useful in its place, but nothing can beat the precious gifts of self-knowledge and intimacy with our own psyche, self-possession and sovereignty in all that we do. These are the qualities to contemplate this month as we navigate our way into the realm of Aquarius, refreshing our minds with the waters of universal knowledge. No matter how insightful we may be about others, it is knowledge about ourselves which draws the highest price right now. Forget finger pointing, idealisation, criticism or blame. None of these avoidance tactics have a role to play this month. They simply distract us from what matters by focusing our attention ‘out there’ instead of ‘in here’!


Mercury stations retrograde in Aquarius on 21st January, supporting our quest for wisdom and insight. If we have struggled to look within rather than reacting without, this about turn will help us shift our focus inwards, to reflection before reaction. We can best use this retrograde passage of Mercury to review the beliefs which shape our experience of the world and explore how life would look if we could let them go. Whilst following through on such reflections may prove to be more complex than merely thinking a different thought, playing around with what we could believe about the world may be just the motivation we need to recognise the far from insignificant potential that new thoughts have to change the world. Especially if they come energised by our commitment to perceive in a new way and resist the seductive urge to slip back into old mental ruts which feel so familiar whilst robbing us of future potential.


Come the final few days of January we encounter the first flavours of the next major alignment to get a grip at the end of this year: a Saturn/Neptune square. Whatever we hold to be true and however sacred we perceive that truth to be, we must be prepared to let it go if necessary. For ultimately all belief is simply mind-matter which distracts us from direct experience of life itself in all its paradoxical and confusing glory. This month’s emphasis on knowing the mind and how it functions serves to forge a foundation of wise reflection we can build upon in the coming months. The ability to detach from the activity of the mind and observe it rather than be consumed by it will stand us in good stead this year. January 2015 provides plenty of opportunity to experience for ourselves the fruits of doing so.

In between the Eclipses + Breathing Through These Strong Waves ~ 2 messages from Dana Mrkich

In between the Eclipses
a message from Dana Mrkich
Friday, 17 October, 2014  (posted 20 October, 2014)


The irony of growth is that right before a leap forward, you can often feel a heaviness or restriction. If you can imagine energy trying to expand beyond the space it has previously been confined to, before it can bust out of those walls it has to breakdown or breakthrough them.


As we find ourselves in the midst of two eclipses, you may be feeling like you are halfway between leaping free of something finally, yet full of frustration, anxiety, mood swings and heart palpitations as the old comes up to be released first - and it keeps coming, and coming and coming.  And this isn't just in the midst of any old eclipses - this is eclipses 2014 style.


We are picking up speed now in our new evolutionary cycle, and as much as you might look around and wonder if anything positive is actually going on with regards to our evolution, it's safe to say we are not in Kansas anymore. Our inner and outer worlds are spinning, picked up by the tornado that is this evolutionary process....where it will set us down and when is anyone's guess.


You may have experienced some restless nights and fatigue filled days lately as these latest energy waves are pushing us like never before to finally break free of yet more stuff - or more accurately at this point, finally break free of any remaining illusions that we even have stuff! In the process this energy is pushing our faces and bodies up against any remaining walls holding up our illusions.


This can feel like physical pressure coming up from within you and surrounding you, and you can often feel it around the chest area, literally like there is a tightness there. (Obviously see your health practitioner for any health concerns).  Our heart, our soul, our entire energy field is expanding, and we can feel it: we feel it physically and emotionally via the parts of us that are being pushed against, being called to expand, break, collapse and transform.


Your soul is saying "Woop, I am coming up and out!!!", meanwhile your mental and emotional defenses are on over-drive, saying "What the heck is she/he doing?????!!! Doesn't she/he know she is going to get herself/himself killed/persecuted/killed/abandoned/fill in the blanks?" Meanwhile the soul is on a roll now, high on high-vibrations, "I'm coming out and I'm talking all your fabulous, owned and disowned aspects with me, woooohoooo, freedom and expression here we come, yee-ha!"


We have all outgrown our old versions of our selves. Hey, we've outgrown who we were last week, let alone old beliefs and wounds that have their roots in our childhood, in our ancestral DNA, in our collective stories and past lives. Our energy is expanding rapidly, wanting to head out into that big, open, limitless meadow where anything is possible, free of our restrictive stories.


Yet, in the process, we keep bumping up against these walls. They are thinner than they used to be, but strangely enough the frustration and emotion they trigger is tsunami-worthy, because we can see so clearly what lies beyond them! We know now that our beliefs are just tapes we choose to keep playing. We can press stop anytime. We know that our wounds are born from the way we choose to perceive something we experienced, but we can adjust our lens of perception anytime. We know that many of our emotional reactions are old habits and addictions that are holding on for dear life. We know that we no longer have to be defined by anything that doesn't feel good, or right or true for us. We are, at this stage, a little bit like the elephants who have long outgrown their tiny chains - but after so long being chained up we haven't quite realised just how free of our 'stuff' we can be if we choose it.


It is natural for all that isn't in alignment with who we really are to come flaring up for a last hurrah as we shift up and into who we really are. The challenge is this: not to get sucked up into all that dust, believing that the existence of this dust must be evidence that nothing is changing, or that clearly you really are identified by that dust. The dust is a good sign. It's a sign that you just smashed a big hole in some wall, or even demolished one fully. The dust is an opportunity to turn to those suffocating thoughts and emotions that have come up and say: Hey, I don't choose you anymore...thank you for leaving now.


May many of your walls come down at this time.


May you blow the dust away with your breath. I mean that literally, just stop, inhale, exhale, let it go.


Breathe freedom in and out of your heart and chest. Feel that area opening and expanding.


Repeat if you resonate: I am free now on all levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, cellular, DNA, ancestral and etheric, across all time, space and dimensions. Thank you.

Breathing Through These Strong Waves
a message from Dana Mrkich
Monday, 20 October, 2014  (posted 21 October, 2014)


If you felt like staying under a blanket today, or have had 'came out of nowhere' emotional releases, you are possibly being triggered by the X grade Solar Flare yesterday, (X is highest grade), followed by an M Class today (not as mammoth as X but still mega huge).


This is on top of the fact we are coming up to the Solar Eclipse in 0 Degrees Scorpio on Thurs afternoon/Friday morning depending on your time zone. Ron Laswell of AstroChakras informed me that 'this degree represents the point where the 'veil' is the thinnest' so anything is possible: pay attention to your dreams, visions, insights, nudges and be conscious of what you are calling in from the Universal Field of Potential with your thoughts and feelings. Ron says: "the whole month of Scorpio has a thin veil. Notice how we have Halloween which is more near the center of Scorpio, which I feel explains why we celebrate All Saint's Day during this time."


Not to mention we are still in the fire and water emotional aftermath of the recent Lunar Eclipse in Aries that was both conjunct Uranus and a Grand Fire Trine.


The energy is electric, and potentially explosive (emotional or otherwise). Yesterday I lit the gas on the outdoor burner and wooshka up shot some flames!! To say I had an inner freak out would be an understatement. Christian rushed over to turn the gas off but more flames kept shooting out! So part of me is thinking 'oh god this could explode, please don't explode, oh my god what if it explodes!' while the other part was feeling "'this is so the energy right now."


It wasn't a 'normal' fire that you could just throw some water on (as umm, my non-logical Pisces self discovered).  Being gas, there was an element of unpredictability about it which for a few seconds there was very scary. It was a reminder, as I have been reminded many times, that anything can happen anytime - life can end just like that. Life can change, just like that. We try to control and manage everything, we are all consciously creating as much as possible, but even so: life has a life-force than is bigger than us, and we don't always know what it has in store for us.


We can't always control what happens, but we can to the best of our ability choose how we respond to what is happening. Unpredictable emotions and events are happening everywhere right now. It is part of our human nature to react with fear or panic or an angry bout of words when we are feeling out of control, or feeling that some sort of power has been taken out of our hands. I can't count how many such outbursts I've had lately, some completely irrational inner child moments while others are valid parts of my consciousness seeking to be heard. (This is after not only two decades of inner work, but also after years of feeling pretty calm thinking 'thank god I've moved on from those emotionally explosive days'!!) Yet, once that initial wave of strong emotion has washed over us (as is happening faster and faster these days), we are left with the trust we have developed over the years. We are left with the core truth of how we really feel about something or someone. We find ourselves in a quiet place of calm, clarity, or renewed appreciation.


We are feeling everything so intensely because a)  these energetic waves are releasing ever deeper aspects of ourselves, so that we can shift ever higher into more of who we really are and b) we are feeling other people's states as we move into increased sensitivity and experience a greater experience of unity consciousness. Sometimes it is hard to know the difference between what is ours and what is not, or what is ours and serving us, and what is not, so a general good affirmation to say is: If this is not mine, I let it go. If this is not serving me I let it go.


The waves are stronger than ever, yet our trust, truth, calm, clarity and appreciation is stronger than ever too. My fabulous cousin-in law, mother of four, once gave me a really great visual to help with the contractions of labour. She said to imagine that I'm in an ocean with waves, and that my baby is in a basket out there on the waves, and as each wave washes over me that the basket is coming closer and closer to me. We are all getting lifted and slam-dunked by energetic and emotional waves - and even if those waves aren't 'ours', we are feeling the splash from those around us. We are in this together, we are a collective and more than ever we can feel what so many others are going through right now. One thing to remember as we're bobbing up and down, is that each wave is taking us closer to our 'baskets'.


It doesn't look like it if we only look at the mainstream news, but with each wave we are uniting collectively for, and thus moving toward, global peace, healthier food production, more sustainable housing, environmental and corporate practices, and greater awareness around a multitude of social and health issues. With each emotional outburst, we get clearer about our feelings, we get clearer about the kinds of relationships and lives we want.


It can feel like you are drowning sometimes, or fit to burst, such is the intensity of these times. Ride the waves as they come, or lift your head up and take a breath (literally) to feel the quiet break point between waves where you can find your peace, stillness and truth - and see your baskets all around you more clearly.


How are you all feeling?

Habits of Change Inspiration from Aristole to Zen on the art of mastering habits.

Habits of Change

Inspiration from Aristole to Zen on the art of mastering habits. 

May 25, 2014

Zen Habits

“Changing habits is one of the most fundamental skills you can learn, because it allows you to reshape your life, to reshape who you are. That’s truly transformational.”

— Leo Babauta, Zen Habits



9 Habits Of The Super Successful

1. Get up insanely early.
2. Keep promises, no matter how small.
3. Learn how to tell stories.
4. Lead, don't dictate.
5. Don't be afraid of, or embarrassed by, your failures.
6. Ask questions, alot of them.
7. Be honest with yourself and others.
8. Take breaks.
9. Take notes and stay organized.

— FastCompany.com



Habit Creation Is A Repeatable Process

“I was reminded there is a process to habit creation: believe it is possible, make small changes first, understand your motivation, overcome setbacks. There is a process — and it is repeatable. As long as we have breath we have opportunity to bring about change.”

- Joshua Becker, becomingminimalist.com



Excellence Is A Habit

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” - Aristotle



Change Your Routine

Turning off the autopilot of even one daily routine can help you become more mindful overall. Take a small pause from routines here and there to allow new soul growth to emerge so when life gives you a big reason to pause, it won’t be a shock to your system.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." ~Goethe

Astroflash.... Astrospirit, by Jacqueline Lasahn

New moon, dark moon
return to your source.
Bedrock, belly
nourish your roots.

Linear time is measured
by calendars, commitments,
marks of the past and goals in the future.

Lunar time is fluid,
rivers of memories
weave into the ocean of imagination.
There is power in the awareness
of ebb and flow;
of seasons
of cultural rhythms
of personal cycles within.

New Moon in Cancer.
Tribe, family, planet,
the place you call home,
inner world, physical body,
intuition that is yours alone.

~ Cancer New Moon Contemplations ~
What activities feed, nurture, or inspire me?
What habits and emotional attachments hold me back?
How may I respond to others without neglecting myself?

Gain perspective that is aligned with your life's design. I can help you with compassionate insight through navigating uncertain waters. Contact me if you'd like me to dive deep with you into your personal universe.

AWARENESS OF SUBTLE ENERGIES Pt2 CHANNELED ASCENSION MESSAGE FROM THE HIGH COUNCIL OF ORION
22nd April 2014
Channeled by Holly Hawkins Marwood
Transcribed by Paul Marwood

“Greetings Dear Ones. We are the High Council of Orion.

In today’s message we continue the messages from before about breaking down the barrier, or the perception of your barrier, between yourself and your energetic reality. Again, we speak of a simple way to start to become aware of the energetics that currently exist and how simply you can shift them to live into this greater experience of who you are as an energetic being.

Today we speak about this from the point of view of your human interactions, for you each have many during the day, whether it’s on the phone or on the Internet or in person, whether they’re people you know well or people you are interacting with when you’re out at the stores or elsewhere in your life, who may just be acquaintances. As you’re interacting with the other people on your planet what we’re asking you to do now is to begin to be aware of your motivation often in working with other people; in what you’re saying and what you’re doing, for there are many on the planet, particularly many who would be listening to these messages at this time, who feel that automatically doing for others to keep others happy is a beautiful act of service. In many regards it is. Yet sometimes it is being done more from an idealistic level or a reaction that “If I take care of all those around me and they’re happy, therefore then I can be happy”. We would invite you to see how externally motivated that is. You are allowing how you feel to be guided by, and defined by, those on the outside rather than what’s happening on the inside for you.

What we invite you to do is, first of all, become aware of your motivation in your interactions with other people. You have relationships with people, such as a boss, an employer, where part of your job is to make sure that they’re happy from the point of view of your job description. So those types of relationships we’re not specifically referring to now for there is a hierarchy that’s implied within your job description that you need to honor. In terms of other relationships you have in your life just begin to observe your motivation for reaching out to them. Is it truly heartfelt or are you, on some level, looking for them to feel better so, therefore, you can feel better; or them to feel better so you can get the accolades and then you feel better yourself. You might say “Well, what’s wrong with that?” and we are not saying there’s anything wrong with that, but what we would like you to do is then, after you’ve observed your motivation, to then observe your energetic field before you respond or react. Feel the expansiveness or the contraction with in your energy field in terms of whether this feels right for you or not. If it feels right for you and you’ve tuned into that energetic space, then it becomes a win-win situation for both people. If you tune into the energetic space before you respond and you feel a contraction in your energy or a resistance, then what we would say is that you’re actually creating a static between the two of you, in that what looks like a generous gift, a generous offering of your time, your energy or your advice, whatever it might be, because it’s not resonant with your energetic field as well, you’re doing it out of obligation or looking for the outside affirmation. We would say you’re actually creating static in the field around you. The results of what it is that you truly are desiring from that will not be achieved. You might feel frustrated thwarted and eventually feel, in a sense, victimized or at the effect of these other people. It’s not so much about the people, but it’s about the energetics.

As you tune into your field and feel an expansiveness in your energy field you actually allow yourself, when you say “yes!” to whatever it is, to expand out even more. When you say “yes!” to your energetic field and, perhaps it may not be what you normally would have done for that person, but within your energetic field and your desire to interact with that other person there might be a different solution that can come forward that allows the expansiveness within your energetic field and allows them to be uplifted as well, which collectively expands everyone’s energy.

We have far more to say about this than we can say in one short channeling and we will address it more as we go on, but the idea here is really, again, beginning to observe your energy in relation to the things that you habitually do and, in this case, relative to other humans around you. Understanding that if you are giving in a way that’s not in alignment with your own energetic resonance as well you actually are creating static in the field that, in a sense, short-circuits both people’s energies. It creates opportunities for people to be dissatisfied or complaining or you not feeling seen and heard for the gifts that you have to offer or that you are offering.

Just begin to evaluate this without judgment of yourself. Tune into your energy field as well. Begin to think “How can I interact because I feel like I want to give in a way that creates a situation that energetically feels right for me and energetically serves the other people as well?” The static goes away in the situation and both people’s energies expand to an even greater level.

We invite you to play with this as another way to begin to live into the energetic truth of who you are as the energetic being, starting to be aware of the refinements in the energy field that are always giving you information. Yet it’s retraining yourself to begin to listen to it, to begin to pay attention to it as a source of information that’s not part of the world of the five senses. It feels, at the moment, easier to pay attention to the information in the physical world around you. As you start living into the energetics you will find that that becomes equally real, equally informative and will allow a greater level of ease and peace and understanding and flow in your life as you begin to practice this. We invite you to do this without judgment, being very patient and loving with yourself and, again, having fun playing in this realm of energy and seeing the shifts and changes in your life and your relationships as you do.

Be Blessed.

We are the High Council of Orion.”

AWARENESS OF SUBTLE ENERGIES
CHANNELED ASCENSION MESSAGE FROM THE HIGH COUNCIL OF ORION
17th April 2014
Channeled by Holly Hawkins Marwood
Transcribed by Paul Marwood

“Greetings Dear Ones.....We are the High Council of Orion.

Our next two messages are ones that will teach you how to begin to live more into the subtle energies that are already around you. For understand that for quite a long time, in your timeframe, there has been an understanding, a teaching that has chosen to separate you from your energetic reality. This time is about living into your energetic reality and truth of what’s already there. You might look at people around you who get information from their guides and their spirit team or their field of knowingness, their intuition, whatever you might say, and be mystified by that and wonder how they receive information and feel that they are superior, perhaps, to you or that you are inferior to them because you’re not receiving information the same way. Perhaps you even feel that it’s something that is so elusive you’ll never be able to do that as well. We would say that’s not true. We would say that accessing the energetic field around you would, in a sense, be a birthright of the soul.

So laying that foundation that everyone can access the energetic information around them is important at this point in time. What we’re going to teach you in our next two messages is so profoundly simple you may think it’s too easy. Yet we would also say that if you apply this information, if you apply what we’re sharing with you here you will find ways to be just like those people you admire, not because you need to be like them, but because you can live into receiving information that’s already around you, all the time, as well.

We ask you to start beginning to look at the things that you do habitually. Begin to slow down a moment and feel the energetics of the things that you do habitually. For example, if you get up every morning and you go to the refrigerator and take out some milk. Then you go to the cupboard and you take out cereal and you pour the cereal into a bowl, pour the milk over it. Eat your cereal and drink your coffee, because it’s what you do every morning. It actually feels easy to you. You know how to start your day that way. We’re going to ask you to begin to slow down and question it. Not question it with your mind, but question it with your energetic field. This might take a few extra moments in your morning and at other points in your day, but what we would ask you to do is slow down and feel how your body feels having your milk and cereal every morning. You may initially say “I enjoy it! I love it because it tastes good”, but really feel. Is this what your body really wants to start your day with, not just every day, but that day in particular? For some days the answer might be “yes” and other days, the answers might be “no”. As you begin to tune into the space of your energies and some days say, “yes, it feels right to have the cereal” and “oh no, I’m listening to my body and today it really doesn’t want this”. What you’re really doing is beginning to live into your energetic reality on that more refined level.

What it does is open up the barriers that you have between yourself and living into your energetic reality. This is not always about food. It’s just an easy example for us to illustrate this idea of beginning to listen to and receive information that’s outside of your daily routine. Start to feel the places that feel like a “yes” and move in that direction. If, as you tune into that decision, it feels like a “no” then take a different path, eat a different breakfast, wear a different set of clothing, drive to work a different way, watch a different TV program.

All these examples are worldly examples, but these are the places that you begin to feel the refinements in your energy field. These of the places where you can begin to experience the subtle energies and live into a new energetic reality of who you are. As you do you open up your energetic feel even more so that these decisions happen automatically. You don’t need to take those moments to tune in to what’s appropriate. “Is this what I want? Is this what I don’t want?” It will happen automatically as you begin to tune into the yes’s and no’s in your vibratory field.
As you begin to tune into the yes’s and no’s in your vibratory field and respond accordingly what you’re going to notice also is a lift in your mood, a new level of excitement as you make a new decision in response to the energetic field and live into the way that that difference feels in your day.
 Going back to the breakfast breakfast example: if instead of having the milk and the cereal that you have every morning out of ease and habit, you slow down, tune in and see that your body chooses something different for breakfast. Then you actually respond to making that different breakfast, eating it, and going about your day. As you’ve made that decision in terms of the “yes” of your energetics, we invite you to observe how you feel differently. Perhaps in response to your decision in your physical body, but also how you feel in response to following the energetic guidance. It’s as simple as that. Following the energetic guidance that’s around you. It doesn’t always need to be about the big decisions and the lofty decisions and making a decision in in your own mind that “I just asked my spirit team about a big decision in my life and I don’t hear response, therefore I cannot connect”.  In this way, with these small decisions, these small habits that you have in your life, you begin to break down the idea that you have a barrier. You live into the truth that all this energy field is accessible to you. It’s a question of remembering the truth of it.

An easy way to do this is to start asking for the yes’s and no’s and responding accordingly. The response is an important component of that. Instead of just getting the “yes” or the “no” and saying, “Okay, interesting information, but I’m going to do my habit path anyway, even though it was in “no””. It’s the response to the “yes” or the “no”, which begins to shift the energetic field to a place of greater openness. For you’re affirming the truth of the information that you’ve received and living into it!

We would invite you to have fun playing with this as we always do, for none of this needs to be overly serious. You can play into this field of your energetic reality and live into how your world shifts as you respond to the yes’s and quiet the no’s, for it’s going to change the course of your life bit by bit, and also shift how you feel about yourself and how you expand into your energetic reality.

Be Blessed.

We are the High Council of Orion.”
