Important 2012 Guidance from Doreen Virtue & Archangel Michael

Hello and Happy New Year to All!

Here is a pertinent message from Doreen and Archangel Michael that includes the importance of clearing negative energies daily, which I am a big proponent of, and focusing on your own power/higher self for your needs.  Both very important activities for the times we live in.

 

 

 

 

 

On Imagination

I found this, from T. Lobsang Rampa's book "Wisdom of the Ancients":

  "IMAGINATION : Imagination is the picturing of one's desires or one’s fears, and imagination is the greatest force of all, greater than will-power, greater than love.   It is an old lore of psychologists that in any battle between the will and imagination, the imagination always wins, and if we try to conquer imagination by brute will-power then  we cause a neurotic condition.  The imagination still wins because the imagination causes a breakdown, so that the imagination must conquer. 

There cannot be love without imagination.  One imagines the charms of one's beloved, or one imagines that one has met one's ‘twin soul’ (as rare as apples on a gooseberry bush while on Earth!), and one imagines all the pleasures with love undying of being married to such-and-such a person.   In passing, it needs rather more than just animal passion to keep two people in harmony.

If the imagination says that one shall not do such-and-such a thing, then, no matter how strong the will, a person cannot do it.  Could you, for instance, walk along a plank suspended across the tops of two ten-story buildings?  No matter how strongly the plank was anchored your over-worked imagination would say that you were going to fall, and then you would fall, to the delight of the onlookers and to the profit of the Press who would be sure to be there. 

If you want to get results you will have to control your imagination so that it and friend will-power work together in harmony. "

 

Solstice Greetings and Abraham Quote!

Happy Solstice to All!  The Luna moths have made their debut appearance, in all their beauty, they landed on each one of us. Scroll down for pictures, aren't they glorious!

Abraham quote for the day: 

Many people focus upon unwanted things, with no deliberate attention to the emotional Guidance within them, and then they try to compensate for their lackful thinking with physical action. And because of the misalignment of Energy, they do not get results from their action, so then they try harder by offering more action, but still things do not improve.

Like the air you breathe, abundance in all things is available to you. Your life will simply be as good as you allow it to be.

Edgar Cayce's Take on Earth Changes - White Light Up The Earth

I came across some of Edgar Cayce's predictions on earth changes, and it's been in the news that the poles are now moving at the accelerated rate of approximately 40 miles per year.  I found this one at http://www.near-death.com/experiences/cayce11.html:

"Cayce predicted changes to the Earth surface to begin some time between 1958 and 1998. The cause of these dramatic Earth changes will be the shift in the world's magnetic poles around the year 2000. Cayce predicted that when this pole shift occurs it would begin reversals in the world's climate so that: 

'..where there has been a frigid or semi-tropical climate, there will be a more tropical one, and moss and fern will grow.'

Cayce's prediction of a pole shift occurred in 1998. According to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in 1998 something changed the Earth's gravitational field which moved the magnetic poles closer together. The NASA article explained that as the ice on the poles melted, ocean currents moved water toward the equator, which factors researchers believe to be partly responsible, in conjunction with shifts in atmospheric patterns, for this ongoing shift in the Earth's magnetic field. This NASA finding affirms Cayce's prediction of a pole shift."

And this on the official Edgar Cayce site at http://www.edgarcayce.org/are/ancient_mysteries.aspx?id=2829:

"The Japanese researcher Masaru Emoto, author of The Hidden Messages in Water, spoke at an A.R.E. conference revealing how his research with water crystals shows the positive and negative influence of human words and thoughts on water. He said that he believes the waters of the world are reacting to human energy patterns, causing many of these disasters. Cayce would likely agree; his readings state that sunspots, which affect many of our communications systems, are caused more by human attitudes and emotions than cosmic forces."

 "Our planet is actively changing. In one reading, Cayce stated that none of the physical devastation he predicted has to happen. The stability of the planet lies in humanity’s collective hands. Cayce also confirmed the biblical axiom that 10 good people can save an entire city. This brings to mind an old story told by the editor of Guideposts magazine. He received letters from two different women in a small town in California. Each told him how they were awakened in the dark hours of predawn and powerfully guided by Spirit to go out into the street of their little town and pray. They both did. Around 5 a.m., a powerful earthquake hit their town, destroying the entire downtown area, but not one person was killed or even injured. These two ladies did not know each other, living on opposite corners of the town. In this case, the prayers of two saved a town."

Right now, this very second, visualize the earth surrounded in loving, white light, with special attention to Japan and the Pacific Ocean.  For further information on this technique, see my post from August 2009 titled "White Light Up The Earth".

 

 

 

 

Halloween, Samhain . . .

. . . as it's known to our celtic friends (pronounced SOW-ween, SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne, depending on what part of the celtic world you are from), and also known as the Witches New Year (which for some is actually on the winter solstice), and also known as All Saints and All Souls Day, and also known as the Day of the Dead in Central and South America, and many other parts of the world as well.  Samhain is a cross quarter day because it is exactly in between the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice. 

To the shaman, this is the time of year when the veil between the worlds is thinest, and in cultures all over the world, it is a time of honoring those who were here before us as it is easier for them to be close to us.  It is also a time when spirits with less then good intentions can be more active, as the veil is thin making it easier for them to be here also.  It is a good idea to spend some time honoring those loved ones on the other side, as well as making sure you have your protection around you.  An ancient celtic practice was to party and laugh and get each other in such a high vibration that the troublesome spirits would literally be laughed away, because those with bad intentions can't exist in a vibration of love, light, and mirth.  The fairies, leprechauns and little people abound at this time too, and leaving offerings for them, such as chocolate, cookies, something alcoholic and sweet is much appreciated by them!

Contrary to popular opinion, the actual date of Samhain, which means "End of Summer", is not always on October 31st. The cross quarter day of Samhain occurs when the sun has reached 15 degrees in Scorpio, which for 2009 in the Eastern United States, is November 7th, at 1:42 a.m. Eastern Time. Divination is particularly clearer at this time, and all types of magic work as well.  But celebrate this time when you can as the entire season between October 31st and the Winter Solstice is a very magical and inner time where communicating with your  angels, fairies, loved ones, etc. has more support due to the natural energies that abound.

So, keep your protection around you, do something to honor your loved ones on the other side, and leave some treats for the little people, to insure you'll have friends on the other side, in this world.  Don't forget to laugh, love and let the earth fill you with mirth!

White Light Up the Earth!

This is an older post of mine, that I have reposted because I feel it is even more important today.

In spiritual healing, nothing is more basic than working with love and the white light. The white light and love heals on a very deep level and is a very strong protector as well. Daily visualizations of yourself, your loved ones, your pets, and your home surrounded with and permeated by bright, shining, white light, and love, is the best simple healing/protecting practice you can do.  So, it's no wonder that the angels have requested that before we go to sleep each night, we picture the earth surrounded by a field of bright white light. 

The angels have been telling us this for a very long time and many people have been lead to visualize the earth surrounded and held by white light and love.  One of my favorite earth/white light exercises is recommended by my shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman in her Transmutation News, which she calls "Creating a Human Web of Light."  Sandra's exercise is done at the full moon and involves getting in touch with your own light and visualizing your light linking up with the light of others all around the planet.  Here is the link to Sandra's page so you can learn this exercise for yourself: Creating a Human Web of Light.

I have been doing the visualization of the earth surrounded in bright white light and love nightly for the past few months. I do this when I get in bed, before going to sleep, as the angels have instructed. I have to tell you, this has been the best sleep aid I've known in my entire life.  So many times, I fall asleep with a book on my belly, or with the light still on, and the next thing I know it's morning!  In the process of visualizing and and feeling the earth surrounded and held in white light and love, you are aligning yourself with the same.  After all, earth is where we live, it's what supports us.

So, start holding the planet in the white light and love of the Creator before going to sleep at night.  If you would like,  you can return to this article and post your comments .  Just click on the "comments" link at the bottom of the article. I would love to hear how many of you are doing this and I would also love you to share your experiences!

Solar Eclipse in Cancer tonight, and What You Truly Desire.

I found this very good astrology blog that explains the energies of the eclipses, and particularly the energies of tonight's solar eclipse which reaches maximum at 10:35 PM EDT (visibile over the Pacific and parts of Asia), the longest one during the present century, in a very positive light.  Check out Allison Rae's "Evolutions" at http://www.starpriestess.blogspot.com.  And remember, our thoughts are amplified during these times of planetary alignments, so tonight, let go of the unwanted and think and feel what you truly desire.  Yeah Baby!!!

Long Distance Healing, it brings me closer!

Since I moved from Connecticut to Vermont I've had many requests for my shamanic work to be done long distance.  What I've found is that my work is much clearer from a distance than when I am in actual contact. I realized that when I'm working this way it is through pure energy.  There is nothing for me to see or sense in this world that could possibly alter my  thinking or perception in relation to any situation where I am asked to help.  I've always preferred to do my angel readings and healings long distance and I've worked on  cases from personal healings, to angel readings, to clearing negative entities from homes,  with much more focus . . . . because of the lack of proximity!  Even some as far away as the  U.K. 

Some practitioners are better at long distance working than others, and of course, one could argue that my move to the mountains and trees, and away from the raging and coarse energies of the coastal cities in Connecticut, helps to keep my own energy centers from being overwhelmed, hence more clarity on my part.  Whatever it may be, my own skills at long distance work are  definitely coming to the fore, and this is a reminder to all of you reading . . . that I'm still here LOLOL!!!
