New growth requires vigilance 23.12.2012

I trust we are all experiencing in these days what will serve our highest good and what we are able to be present with. As powerful co-creators of our own reality I'm also sure that what is presenting itself is doing so within a framework that is acceptable to us and that mirrors our own beliefs of what these times are all about.

Personally for me recent weeks of inner focus and stillness have translated into experiences that are beyond words, beyond tears, beyond gratitude. Of this I will not try to speak. However in conceptual terms, to facilitate shared understanding, I will say I am choosing to experience this through reference to the Grail and the Light of Christ within.

Whatever your framework it is time to open ourselves to the birthing of the new consciousness. Just as Mary & Joseph kept vigil over the newly born Christ, so we too must keep vigil over the birthing Christ Consciousness within.

As with all new growth there needs to be vigilance in the beginning! I was made aware of this need when after a very quiet and harmonious period I made my first tentative steps outside last night, to attend a social engagement. Full of joy, love, and a somewhat euphoric energy I went to visit some dear friends of old to celebrate these times. What could be better I asked myself!!! But then I woke up this morning feeling odd......slightly stunned.....wondering where has it all gone? Hmmm. Am I not worthy, am I not ready to hold this new reality, am I delusional, is it all in my imagination? What happened?

I take a breath, and start to look at how I'm really feeling and search the point, the moment when I went out of myself. I decide it's like learning to ride a bike, the first tentative outing held by a supporting arm, the slightly more solid ground with the stabilizers, before finally finding the perfect balance and harmony and whoosh ….....your off flying down the road !!! This too is a learning experience, a time of nurturing the seed within, of tending what is inside.

So what did happen, what took me away from the growing truth within? My first realisation was that I quite literally took a step away from my self and a step towards another, a step from inner reference to outer reference. Theoretically nothing wrong with that.....so why didn't it feel good? It didn't feel good because it was not without intention, without desire to outcome, without agenda. It was not a movement made from the wholeness and holiness of who I am. Any move towards another to complete oneself (to receive), to be recognised or accepted comes from a place of separation. That is an old pattern, an old behaviour and suddenly I realise it's not feeling good any more.

Now, there I am, already having taken a step away from self, in a social setting. Naturally I find myself in conversation with someone I haven't met before, someone who wants to know my story, to get to know me through my story. A normal social interaction we have been familiar with for so long. They wanted to be able to define me, perhaps to understand how best to interact with me – but it felt odd, strange, uncomfortable, inappropriate even. I am not my story. I bless, thank, and acknowledge my stories, they served a valuable purpose in my life to bring me to this present moment. But I can no longer be defined and interact through my story.

So it seems I must be vigilant to not allow old patterns to take over, not least of all because they simply don't feel good any more. I must nurture the seed within, tend to this new growth. I need to ask what would feed this growth, what would nourish me at this stage. I apply the vigilance I would if I were caring for a seedling - what care it takes to nurture the seedling into a mighty Oak, grounded and strong.

As we all learn to ride the bike anew, learn to navigate the practicalities, it is with vigilance, a commitment to the truth and to tending the light within that we shall grow.

Glory Be!

Past Lives, Present (Introduction)

Imagine, if you will, a ball of string. A ball of string is really one long continuous piece of twine that has been turned and wound up into it's present form, a ball. And so it is with us. We are one long continuous consciousness turned and twisted through past lives into our present form.

That all sounds quite reasonable, logical even. By now most of us have come upon the concepts of life after death, re-incarnation and re-birth. Many are now in fact remembering their own past lives. But for me I'm having an internal realisation, you know those realisations that happen in every cell of your body, when the cells start jumping in delight because you've finally got it.

I'm only now realising just how much of our make-up comes from our past (or simultaneous) lives, and I'm a little shell shocked I have to say. So much so I'm left pondering what of me is actually of this lifetime, is it even possible that there could be anything independent of the other? Is every thought, feeling, response and belief conditioned by the previous, when do new behaviours cut in, new strategies arrive, and where have those supposed new strategies come from if they're now in your consciousness.

To be honest I've always been a little sceptical of people who say they remember their previous life times. Even if you consider the maths of soul aspects and over souls there are still way more people claiming to be the re-incarnation of some beautiful being than makes any sense. And there are many among them who seem more intent in being known for who they were, not who they are, something that always seems like such a waste of this life time to me.

However scepticism aside I've also been curious. In fact I've always thought at some point in time I would like to do some regression work, but every time I looked I couldn't seem to find the right practitioner or approach. So it was with some surprise the other night in conversation that I realised I have indeed been doing a lot of past life work myself. In fact when I look back over my travelling years I seem to have been doing little else really, especially over the last year or so.

Much of my understanding and learning has come in unusual ways. I don't have any personal stories to tell, no names and shoe size, no glamour and glory. I have my knowing supported by my body consciousness (and they say the body never lies) - finally they are getting my attention and the opportunity to release stored emotions and traumas I have carried through life times. 

Perhaps you will find some of my stories familiar, maybe you will resonate with the lifetimes, recognise the lessons and marvel at our inter-connectivity, or maybe your body is crying out to you like mine has been and you can start to free it.

“When you feel better as a result of a past life recall experience--whether a physical symptom has been alleviated, an emotional issue soothed, or you simply feel more confident and peaceful about your life and its direction, you don’t need to question the logical validity of the experience. You know it has empowered you to improve the quality of your life in a very tangible way.''

In the coming blogs I will share some of my experiences, not to reminisce about the past but to heal in the present. Maybe you have some of your own recollections to share too!

Support for Deep Releasing

Wow, we are amazing beings! It's truly awe inspiring to be part of these times and to be witness to the transformation we are saying 'Yes' to. We are tremendous, magnificent souls!

Hasn't it been just so intense! It seemed we were almost frenetic with activity especially around the Blue Moon in August. For a while everyone I met was presenting with the same feelings - overwhelm, confusion, old memories long forgotten re-surfacing, lack of clarity, sudden anxiety, and fear of the future.

There seems to have been an energy surging through us, pushing everything up for clearing. And we seem to be more willing than ever to deal with it, to move through it all and move onwards. I have been so impressed by the number of people asking for support, wanting to just deal with it and move on. It has been a time of great release, of letting go of old patterns, beliefs and emotions – life times of work. It's become crystal clear what no longer serves us well and impossible to continue on with things as they are. People are moving beyond polite, pacifying (good girl) behaviours and into truth, their own truth, whatever the cost might be. This isn't always easy, the birthing pains are strong, yet we are doing it - we simply know deep within that the time has come.

It's liberating, exhilarating even, feeling the movement, the momentum of so many people moving through things right now. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not enjoying the suffering of others, but rather I'm appreciating the shift that we are all part of. Of course none of these feelings are new to me - I've experienced anxiety, absolute confusion and felt utterly lost at times on my own journey. I understand what a lonely and all consuming place it can be.

It makes me wonder if we're going through things in waves. Perhaps certain groups of souls go through each stage at a certain point in time, and then they are the ones to help the next wave coming through behind them. It's like reaching a high platform and turning to lift the next man up, then as you look ahead to the next level in front of you there is someone there waiting to give you a helping hand.

Personally I have reached for and felt that helping hand whilst simultaneously extending my hand to others, and I am in awe of this process. I have been blessed to receive a lot of amazing support recently (past life clearing from the cellular memory, karmic release, re-alignment & re-connection) and have been equally blessed to be in a situation where I was able to offer support to others. We are  so well supported during these times, it seems as soon as something arises we are immediately presented with the support to go through it. How many seemingly random events or meetings have turned out to be just what you needed in that moment. It is like the help is set up and put in place before you even know you need it. We are blessed beyond my understanding. I give great thanks for this, for all that is unfolding, for All that Is.

May we continue to support and Love one another through our transition and beyond.
