You…Your Life… is a garden…reflecting what you cultivate, nourish,
nurture, and give light to, but also reflecting what you neglect, let
run amok, don’t weed, and the choices you seed in each moment.

I was walking the gardens this
morning…really I should say, woodland, for that is what it has become,
and pondering on the way in which all this manifested.

It began with an unblinking, unfettered
generosity of spirit…a conscious choice to simply plant trees into a
land bereft of habitat.

Growing and planting trees from seed has been my work over the past ten…

If You Want To Heal Anything, You’ll Have To Do This a message from Cheryl Richardson

If You Want To Heal Anything, You’ll Have To Do This
a message from Cheryl Richardson
Monday, 15 September, 2014  (posted 17 September, 2014)

Today is an exemplary fall day.  The skies are bright blue with a few pale, wispy clouds.  The temperature is a cool and comfortable 65 degrees.  There’s a lazy wind bending trees this way and that.  And the sun is casting long shadows over the pots on the deck filled with the remaining flowers of summer.

Autumn is a tricky time.  While I love being able to tend to plants in the middle of a cool afternoon, I hate watching the petunias and geraniums fade.  The shock of color from zinnias and marigolds sends me running for my camera, and yet I feel a hollow kind of emptiness, knowing that I’ll need to say goodbye to them soon. 

I always get a little depressed when the flowers start to die back.  They’re like children I’ve nurtured and cared for all summer long and I’m not ready to say goodbye.

This year, with the help of a wonderful woman named Roberta Horsman, I created a healing garden on our back deck.  I filled it with vegetables, flowers, and statuary and it became a magical second home.  The energy and beauty of the plants and statues have inspired creativity.  I’ve loved writing in this special space.  New succulent plants have been a source of surprise and wonder when unexpected flowers suddenly appear.  And it’s been the perfect place to hang with Michael and friends for a dose of peace and serenity while enjoying great conversations.

This afternoon, while deadheading flowers and fertilizing the soil so the last annuals are encouraged to bloom, I thought about how a garden is such a metaphor for life.  We plant our seeds, watch life grow, tend to our needs and the needs of others, and eventually come face-to-face with having to say goodbye.

Goodbye.

I have a hard time finding the good in goodbyes.

I know life requires us to be present to everything – the success and sadness, the peace and pain. Learning to be with all of our feelings is fertilizer for growth and healing.

It’s just not that easy.

So today, as I appreciate this magical world I’ve cared for over the last few months, I do my best to stay with the joy and the sadness. 

It’s a healing garden after all.

And you can’t heal what you don’t feel.

Past Lives & Your Intuitive Gifts
by Selacia

Since you are naturally intuitive, even without formal training, have
you wondered how you developed this gift? More importantly, would you
like to better understand how to master your intuitive gifts so that you
can live a more authentic and empowered life?

In this article, I describe examples of past life seeds that are
brought forward into this life – seeds of spiritual qualities and
mastery that often were honed in ancient times.

You know you lived before, of course, but you may not realize how
much your expression today is impacted by what you learned and
experienced before. Indeed, those very past life experiences influenced
the circumstances of your birth – including your birth family, location,
and unique predisposition.


Past Life Imprints in DNA

Inside your own DNA is an amazing package of imprints. Some relate to
beneficial qualities and connections you have developed over lifetimes
on Earth! These include your deep bond with spirit and honed qualities
needed for enlightenment.

Examples of beneficial spiritual qualities people develop in a series
of lifetimes: kindness, patience, tolerance, persistence, curiosity,
humility, and compassion.

DNA imprints of beneficial qualities and honed intuitive gifts can be
psychically seen in the field around the DNA. Not all of them are
active or accessible every lifetime, but they are there nonetheless.

You may have forgotten, but in your early life before you could walk
and talk, you likely had tangible experiences with the subtle realms. As
part of that, you may have remembered portions of your soul’s earlier
journey, and even intuitions you had in your mother’s womb about your
life path.


Talking with Invisible Beings

As a young child, not yet conditioned to see the world outside of you
as separate, it was easy for you to commune with the magical realms of
spirit. You may remember talking with invisible beings like fairies and
knowing things no one told you. As the years passed, living in the more
conventional way of your ancestors, you may have forgotten this early
time.

Do not worry if you cannot remember now. Trust that you indeed have
numerous intuitive gifts and beneficial spiritual qualities housed
within your very DNA. You do not lose them and no one can take them
away!

Even as you read this, your own higher self is working with you
energetically, helping you to connect the dots and accept these
unconventional ideas. A part of you already has the dots connected, but
another part of you learned to doubt what you know. Some of that doubt
comes from past life conditioning – from your own experiences or from
your ancestors – remaining with you as DNA imprints.

These imprints are in your DNA just like the beneficial seeds for
intuitive gifts. Everyone has them in some configuration: beliefs about
being unsafe sharing psychic information, fears of witch hunts, and vows
to keep spiritual gifts a secret – to name a few. The good news is that
past life seeds blocking expression of intuitive gifts can be
discovered and cleared within your DNA.

In no other lifetime has it been so vital that you remember your
soul’s spiritual journey and master your intuitive gifts. These are
challenging times to be alive. As a divine changemaker, you will need to
develop an unbreakable bond with spirit and self-trust in the
information you receive from your higher wisdom. Many times you will be
required to take action quickly, with no one to ask about which path to
take. You will be required, too, to serve in a leadership role –
sometimes by being the very first to do things that no one dared to do
before.

Trust that you indeed have what it takes to fulfill your purpose and
in so doing, to be a shining example for others who follow. You will
never meet most of them, for they are the next generations – inspired
and guided by the light trails you left behind.

The Rainbow Scribe:
Hilarion June 1-8, 2014

Beloved Ones,

You have been passing through many portals through the last few months and now comes the process of assimilation of the energies and the shifting into a new perspective on your personal and collective journey. Many of you are arriving and perceiving, however dimly at first, the underlying potential that lies like magical seeds within the garden of your life. You are realizing that it is YOU who does the creating of the direction your life should go and it all involves the constant use of your focus and your thoughts. It is important to remember that your thoughts are now in position to be more potent and more powerful than ever before, for the energies you have passed through have cleared many obstacles that were standing in your way forward. If you have been working on being attuned to these new energies, the way forward will fall into place in magical and wondrous ways. What seemed so difficult and unreachable before will now come into manifestation without too much focus from you.

With these potentials comes a warning to be responsible in your every thought, word and deed, for your power to create has been greatly magnified. Use self discipline and discerning awareness of the thoughts you are holding in each moment. As they come up, along with the associated feelings with them, learn to change all those thoughts and feelings that are from the old paradigm that were keeping you small in your perceptions of your own abilities and how you might use them. Realize that you are no longer in that place and space and that now, you can be all that you have desired to be and that you can have all the good in your daily life that you have desired and deserved. You have done the work and now you are preparing to create the beauty of your new life. Celebrate each moment by rewarding yourself often. Surround yourself with the beauty of nature as often as you are able, for in this lies the power to regenerate and rejuvenate your human operating systems in a safe and conducive way.

Be kind to yourselves in the thoughts and feelings that you hold within yourself and immediately change any thoughts that are disempowering into ones that empower and uplift you. This may be challenging at first because you are still going against the mainstream of old and diminishing energies, but with constant repetition and use of this method, you will gain immeasurably in your own self esteem and confidence. Picture yourselves in the positions of teachers, healers and masters, helping others to learn to balance and bring their own energy systems into equilibrium. See yourselves giving encouragement and upliftment to those around you and practicing random acts of kindness in which you expect nothing in return, only the joy and pleasure of giving to others in a way that uplifts you. This is good practice and a good way to begin to be of service to others without any need for recognition for your efforts.

As the Divine Feminine energy flows into the atmosphere of Earth, people will feel more connected to each other, and will be more willing to risk the opening of their hearts as they let down their shields of protective patterns of thought and behaviour which no longer serve the magnificent future that lies tangibly before them. Many on the Earth at this time are suffering greatly within themselves, for as they become awakened they are realizing that they could have done many things differently in situations that needed their attention. It is important for these ones to realize that they did not have the same perspective at the time of these events that they now hold and to allow themselves forgiveness of their perceived shortcomings during those times. This also indicates that you have come a long way! Celebrate this accomplishment and reward yourself in a way that is meaningful for you.

Life on this planet is a journey of self discovery and just as one must hold the helm on a sailboat to keep it safely afloat, one must learn and adjust to the current that tosses them about as they sail on their journey through life. All of life is about the experience of it and this is how one matures and progresses. There are no judgements from the divine realms, only learning and growth within each individual. Each of you has chosen your soul path in order to gain more awareness and power of the divine attributes of your divine essence and you are directly experiencing that path in your moment of now. In other words, you are fully participating on your chosen journey of life, with all its seeming ups and downs. This is the way that you as soul have chosen to bring into your earthly life all the people, situations and conditions that lie before you in your current moment. Your attitude can make it a pleasant and empowering experience or one that you resist which brings with it, the corresponding feelings of not being supported by the universe. Your power of choice in the attitude you take can help you make a leap forward to a new and happier way of life. When one chooses the path of least resistance, life begins to unfold in a kaleidoscope of enriching and loving experiences. It is all up to you.

Until next week…

I AM Hilarion

Cosmic Weather - Monthly Snapshot for May, 2014 a message from Rev. Irma Kaye Sawyer

Cosmic Weather - Monthly Snapshot for May, 2014

a message from Rev. Irma Kaye Sawyer
Thursday, 1 May, 2014  (posted 2 May, 2014)

Hello friends. When pondering on the energies of May, I heard "How does your garden grow?" Considering the recent New Moon/Eclipse of 4/29 as the "Re-seeding," this would also support that sentiment nicely.

As you probably all know by now, April was a *very* busy month in the cosmic sky with much movement and change all around. If you're feeling a bit of what I affectionately call "cosmic whiplash," that is to be expected. I suggest we give ourselves the first few days of May to relax, integrate and celebrate our passage through what for many have not been easy transformations. We have another month of steady movement in the cosmic sky this month, but especially when compared to April, we've got this. :)

The main thing that pops out to me with May's energies is Mars stationing direct on May 19th. For many, especially those who feel their plans have been taking longer than expected or who have been hitting more than a few road blocks on the way, this is good news. This may also have manifested physically in fatigue or sluggishness, especially in combination with the recent powerful eclipse energies. I suggest we use the first three weeks of May to further clarify, envision and drop the dead weight; especially in the form of negative mind habits such as worry, self-doubt or distrust. We also have the movement of Mercury and Venus into new signs, which always puts a spin on relationships and communication styles. We will be exploring the individual monthly aspects in more detail at the Cosmic Weather page, as they occur.

Also on May 14th Jupiter (Cancer) is conjunct Chiron (Pisces.) This would be a great day to do healing and ritual work of all kinds using these beneficent energies. I personally love a good water trine, and find these energies to be particularly inspired and magical. This is also the Full Moon in Scorpio which will give some extra high-powered cosmic back up on what already promises to be a potent day.

Mantra of the Month: I seed my spiritual garden with my highest wishes and dreams, watering them with love and blessings. I am open and receptive to success for myself, and also for all. Shanti. 

Monthly Dates of Note:
5/2: Venus enters Aries
5/7: Mercury enters Gemini
5/14: Jupiter trine Chiron
5/14: Full Moon in Scorpio
5/19: Mars Direct
5/20: Sun enters Gemini
5/28: New Moon in Gemini
NOTE: The dates listed are based on USA aspects. Your own dates may be adjusted if you are located in GMT or elsewhere in the world. Thank you.

Have a great month ahead friends and remember to keep it Cosmic!
