Whimsical Wednesdays ~ The Artist’s Corner: Be Like Nature

Creating life as a work of art is my personal motto and nature is such a guiding light example for this kind of artistry. I used to make life hard for so many years – part of that due to not having boundaries, which drowned out my voice of origins. The rest was a much needed excavation journey, but all along the nature of my heart kept singing. I just couldn’t hear it loud enough nor trusted it above the conditioned and accepted patterns and cycles I was caught up in.

The more I spent time in nature, the more I relaxed into my own.

I find all the answers to questions reflected around me always on nature’s canvas. Every tree, plant, flower, animal, insect, rock, terrain, season, and weather pattern displays a lesson for life and demonstrates how simply we can recreate, blend, merge, and resiliently design what is needed in each moment.

Perhaps that’s part of why rabbits speak to me so much too, as there’s still so much wild in them even if domesticated, and their Earth connection is richly woven into their bodies and souls.

I shared some of this on an Instagram post recently, but it goes along with this share:

I find it beneficial to embrace, and allow myself to experience, all of who I am without judgment. As I embrace all of my parts and their purpose for having been, a new perspective is born that rewrites my experience. As a result it creates a new template for a more loving, flowing relationship with myself of experiences filled with greater grace every step of the way. It’s not always easy, especially in the beginning, but with practice it becomes more natural and seamless.

I no longer need a catastrophe, physical crises, break down, or shove up against a wall in my life to know what my heart and soul needs and what changes are necessary in the bigger picture of things. My process is more about alignment, trust, and flexibility.

Support and expansion is there when I am in that flow.

While it might seem more logical to make changes when there’s a challenge, I say it’s quite empowering to make them when there aren’t.

For this reason I have understood why some people have thought I might be going through a challenge of some sort to make decisions like taking sabbaticals or changing courses altogether in areas like work, home, life and love, but the decisions are based on choice following inner knowing. I’m grateful to experience things in this new way – a way that reminds me of how nature simply unfolds in every moment, whole and complete.

Nature is my constant guide for life.

My time in nature gifts me endlessly. I find it to be the most profound for channeling, receiving inspiration, the most supportive for deep conversations, and abundant with messages and answers I’ve been pondering.

Nature helps me weave life as a work of art, as not only is she full of creative potency, but she offers me so many options and perspectives for how I want to paint each experience.

This was a feather treasure from Sunday’s long trek on the Flume Trail above Lake Tahoe. It’s very peachy gold and at first reminded me of many of my hawk guide feathers although wondered about owl since the feathers have many similarities. Upon further exploration of my feather collection and hearing from bird experts we confirmed it as great horned owl. I have several feathers from owl and hawk in my treasured collection. The timing of this one and finding it on a steep ledge upside down – nearly undetectable to the naked eye unless meant to be seen – felt very aligned.

Just some of great horned owl’s symbolism includes timing, hearing the unspoken, seeing and protecting the unseen, harbinger of new cycles and life transitions, piercing beyond the veil, shape-shifting, Great Mystery, wise action, recognizing light and dark coexisting, higher intuition, knowing, able to pierce through shadows and fears and see the darkness of others’ souls – therefore not easily being deceived.

The “knowing” aspect was synchronously peculiar, as I’d just been explaining to Dave about the form of psychic awareness I have and is continuing to grow, which comes through as a “knowing” that is part of me rather than separate to me or in some flash of channeling from outside myself. There is no separation between the things I experience and receive, making them feel very normal, natural, and seamless, possibly easily dismissed in this fashion, but I’ve learned over time to trust. Owl has shown up in readings in my past as my life path.

More interesting is what I discovered upon further exploration of great horned owl showing up that speaks to what I’m feeling. Owl can speak to stillness, slowing down, and silent observation, with perhaps even removing oneself from things to see truths all around. Owl also indicates releasing part of our lives to stay aligned and continuing to steer true to the course of inner truth guidance.

The avian clan is around me always in many forms, but the bird family of hawks, owls, osprey and falcons have been especially meaningful to my life as spirit guides, visionary teachers, and protective sentinels. Hawks are the most frequent creative life partners, with owls, osprey and falcons showing up less frequently, but at crucial points.

I’ve definitely been in a recalibration mode recently, as I have had to readjust to returning from sabbatical at a challenging worldwide crisis time while also opening to more work. Things have gotten busier than I imagined (all good things with integral purpose), but it’s very different from the quiet three months. I’m back to having client sessions and doing Reiki Healing Attunements – more than I thought but understandable, am beginning work on a book cover for an author that feels to be an important portal creation, and trying to still get my novel moving forward. I’ve also been spending extra time in the garden, cleaning up, planting, seeding, and watering and getting longer miles in than usual of exercise with hiking and biking in new areas to keep my equilibrium for well being. That alongside day-to-day things we all do like taking care of a household, three fur babies, cooking, cleaning, handling a shared side business with Dave, interacting with my community online with posts and blogs, and making sure there’s pure relaxing, do-nothing-time that’s a must in every day for me – all takes initiative, intention, focus and commitment.

After early years of strict security-based regimes, I unfolded into the freedom loving, wispy, part of me not wanting to be bound by anything and wanting to avoid hard work (escapism), and now I am creating a marriage of both as my artist’s way of life. Synchronously aligned with my actual marriage upcoming, which we just got our license for yesterday.

Now is a time for constructive use of freedom through healthy self-discipline in my life – in essence, creating a delicate balance between freedom and structure. This involves using levels of freedom wisely and well, which just so happens to also point to the numerology trajectory I’ve activated with this year’s birthday.

I’ve lived at both extremes and most of my life is now focused on implementing and embodying moderation through merging of organization, commitment, routine and responsible choices to the honoring of freedom that I also seek. This is a newer undertaking that merges the natural aspects of myself and focuses on their strengths with understanding of how committing to a certain sense of structure can actually offer the true freedom I desire. It also assists with attaining goals, manifesting, and experiencing greater clarity.

Nature reflects this for me in how she embodies so many seeming opposites together that work beautifully as a unit. There is a natural cycle, structure, inherent wisdom, sacred geometry, and symbiotic relationship that abides by certain unspoken universal ground rules, but there is also incredible variety, unusual evolutions, surprising mutations and resilient behaviors, and freedom to be wildly you that she speaks to so beautifully.

When I face frustrations in my process or feel restricted in some way, while I teach myself new, more freeing ways, I’m reminded of how nature doesn’t complain, but simply discovers new ways to thrive or renew. She reminds me of the resiliency inherent within and that sticking to my commitments will see me through and the balanced way to that is by remaining flexible, but disciplined, and focused, but open to change.

This has led me to start creating a guiding, daily time schedule while I have multiple things going on. I’m putting that together in a way that feels balanced, manageable and reasonable, while being flexible when necessary. That said, it feels incredibly important to create this in a way that is motivating and fun, but keeps me on track. Life isn’t about force and punishment. Those are old patterns of conditioning that have no place in the now. In the past I’ve been more of a one-off kind of person wanting to get each things done fully before I moved on and was an extremist. Now I’ve taught myself to be okay with things constantly in motion and giving time to each as I can in a way that feels aligned and fluid. This is healthier for me to maintain daily variety, momentum in all areas, creates a more natural rhythm and takes pressure away.

It’s also how nature creates.

I’ve also learned to say no over the years to projects and things in general, which I continue to, and to only say yes to what resonates. I newly implemented weekends to not being available so I get time away from it all too. In the past, any day seemed like a free-for-all. In all, there’s a slowing down and flow in order to not create anxiety and I remove pressures of “should’s”. I’m finding life much more rewarding and rich and I’ve never felt more vibrant.

We each have our roles and parts to play and mine is definitely as an “as within, so without” process in constantly holding that mirror up to Nature and the world at large to make those adjustments in reflection.

By working on greater equilibrium in all areas of my life, continuing to support my joy and needs alongside others as equally important, and letting go, and committing to living in alignment, all of that has balanced out before my eyes, including physically with natural changes I’m going through at my age.

And speaking of blossoming, the above and below photos are of our first blooming tree here. That seems reflective of little bits of new growth and opening in my life happening one step at a time. Things don’t just burst open all at once here in the mountains until a momentum kicks in.

Much like my own process, as I keep the wheels turning and do whatever I can in some way, inevitably there’s a chain reaction of further results that come from my continued forward movement. And soon the garden and forest will cycle into full bloom.

In the meantime, nature is in slow, steady growth right now here in the mountains, with constantly shifting weather. It speaks to me that my own life creations are needing to take their own time, too. So, I plan to relax and pick up a new color to paint life with, as the moment dictates. I will paint a little here and a little there so as to bring all parts of life together with joy and connection, be present to how each piece is integral to the next, and how there’s purpose in every brushstroke.

The idea of schedules always was daunting, but I now see it as crucial to creating life as art where I bring through all strengths together just as nature creates her masterpiece as a unit.

This doesn’t mean I don’t get things done when some of them do actually have deadlines, but I create more gentleness and joy around it all along with extra room for each by stretching them out and letting go in general when things unfold differently than I thought. Life continues to open in new ways the more I open to the true nature of me.

I’m going to be a little more “in between” worlds again, as I am needing to go to places more fully to receive what the open door is ready to channel through. I seem to be going through an evolution of sorts on several levels, to include greater access to more latent parts of me now rising. I’ll continue to keep balancing my “me” and “sharing” times with increased vigilance in order to maintain that natural rhythm and alignment.

Like the Sibyls, from which the ancient heritage within me is rooted, who lived hidden and out of reach in order to filter the energies that accessed them so they could remain devoted to the sacred purity of their connection with Mother Earth and the Cosmos through sound, there is a place within me calling for that path, moving in and out, at times unreachable, and yet ever more connected.

Transitional Support to Embrace the Void with Empowerment – Offered for a Limited Time

Back again by request – “The Empowered Visionary” email support. Some of you may have remembered when I first started offering this over a year and a half ago, which was only for a limited time to support the wave of energetic needs. And it seems that time has circled around again, given the influx of requests and inquiries.

So, for a limited time, to be determined, I will be offering this again for anyone feeling resonation with this kind of support.

Everyone and everything seems to be in transition. I can so relate to this and how powerful it is if you can learn to ride the wave of the shifting energies and “be” with the void of creation, rather than feel defeated by it.

I like to be there as much as I can for other visionaries that are embracing the light of their authenticity, as I know how challenging it can be to keep strong and rooted in the creation of what may seem like ages you have been working towards. And I know that sometimes fresh perspectives, a little tweaking, small or big shifts, and even greater courage are needed, as well as I know how those first steps can present new challenges, need reiterating support, could use the nurturing of a heart that understands, truly cares, and can provide experienced insights.

It is clear to me that people are eager to move into a new experience and just needing gentle assistance, personalized support, inspiration, clear and focused reiteration, more resonating energy and like-mindedness around them, and comforting motivation to get both feet over the fence.

You do need ALL of your parts with you on this new journey you’re embarking upon 🙂

These are pivotal times for not letting go of the dreams you’ve been envisioning and a little loving nudge and guidance can be the way to remembering who you are, seeing through and stepping out of the delusions of the illusions – outer, conditioned patterns and stimulation, fears and self sabotage – and honing in on the gifts you already possess, but just need empowering from within. It is time for a new way of relaxing into the very heart and essence of you and “being” rather than striving for, right here and right now.

“The Empowered Visionary” email support is basically a partnership of support to help motivate, activate, nurture, empower, inspire, reveal, and kick start things into gear so that you can begin to share the joys and gifts of your heart as you were meant to – one visionary to another – and then enjoy the natural evolution that unfolds when you do so. It will combine a variety of processes, as is intuitively guided, to include energetic support as well.

I offer this in email support ONLY, for now, but with a special focus:

• To inspire a call to action: Support for fellow visionaries that desire that extra boost up to fully get over the wall or simply need supportive and loving insights to help bring solid clarity, vision and new-found exuberance. To provide innovative and creative insights/visions/perspectives to help identify and move through creative blocks or help create more clarity with any creative projects, goals, or creations of the heart you are trying to manifest. (great for all artists whether in the creative or healing arts). We can explore visionary ideas, discuss new supportive processes, as well as explore the heart of the matter, together – all in effort to dislodge and move the energy into being.

• Work co-creatively and co-supportively together: Together, we will work in “responsible” partnership to help you embrace your  authenticity, reveal and work through fears, perceived limitations, enculturated and unconscious patterns, insecurities, doubts, frustrations and confusion that are holding you back. I provide a safe space to share and to explore – all in loving effort to help you courageously be you. I know what you are going through and I know how I have been able to shift the unwanted experiences to create more of what I do want to feel, so I can create what my heart wants and needs to share.

So…..If you are you able to: 

1. Commit to taking responsibility
2. Open your heart courageously and vulnerably to go deeper than you ever have
3. Be willing to explore new perspectives
4. Be willing to let go of preconceived ideas
5. Be willing to hold unconditional and non-judgmental detachment
6. Take action immediately in steps conducive to the level of what you desire 
7. Be ready to bring your inner world into the outer world 
8. Be ready to embrace change in big ways

Then this may be the perfect partnership for you.

Email support I have found to be extremely beneficial to be able to work with clients from around the world and who are in different time zones, making it easy and convenient to thoughtfully engage when ever works best and most relaxing for you.

I also find email/writing to be a safe way and a way for people, myself included, to really let go and to flow with their thoughts – especially the creative and visionary minds. For me, writing is a way to process through things and much of the time, after I have written something out, the light bulb and healing takes place, or the answer is revealed. It just needed that committed, safe process to explore and allow energy to move. Then it also provides a log of what is shared that you can re-read and go back to or print out to use as you need and find new gems each time.

To have someone that can intuitively mirror, while holding that space for you,  and that truly understands and can offer a resonating hand, can make a big difference. This is a way to not only kick start the action you desire in your life, as well as revitalize the actions you have been taking, but you will also experience more magic in your life, experience more synchronicity, embrace deeper joy, find more balance and in essence experience being more in touch with your heart authenticity so that you can be the empowered, unique and beautiful visionary you are.

How much do you value living with greater peace, courageous passion, and infectious inspiration?

I know for me, it means everything to me, because I can’t provide the level of service I share with the world through my creations, if I don’t first have that experience and connection within myself. If you also desire to be of your highest potential and greatest service and good in the world, then it starts with you. Empowering other visionaries is important to me, as I see the creative visionaries as leading the creation of a new reality and experience, as we journey into the world of creative thought and love.

TESTIMONIALS:

“I made a request for a boost up attunement and counseling sessions with Tania and I must say that the one month that we worked together brought forth powerful healing and awareness within my life. What I appreciated most with her was the gentle way with which she explored issues with me as well as the intuitive help I kept on receiving from her during the sessions. It was pleasant really feeling the unconditional acceptance that represented each session, which was an added bonus. I feel I grew up a lot during our work together and she is definitely a Spiritual Master I would love to reconnect with for additional services in the future. Sweet energy, great spiritual wisdom. Thank you so much for having helped me attain the growth level I have reached at the moment.” ~Vidushi, Curepipe, Mauritius – now currently Montreal, Quebec

“Tania provided me wonderful insights. I could feel and sense her energy always. Her intuitive feedback on what was happening in my life was incredibly accurate.” ~Gary M., San Diego CA

“Thank you for being a kind and gentle teacher. You don’t even know how much that helps. Thank you for offering ways to help myself, that is mostly what I look for. I don’t care to have things done for me. Plus that lets me know someone else has faith in me. This has been the best investment, other than my children, of my life so far. (both money and time). Thank you again my friend. I can’t even begin to fully express how much you have helped me. Blessings to you.” ~Shellie, NV

Accelerated Support for Embracing the New with Opened Hearts & Creative Explosions

Me at Machu Picchu

As I’ve been immersed in Reiki, animal spirit guide and intuitive support sessions lately, I have been experiencing a lot of the same themes coming up for others and am excited to feel the courageous motivation coming through from those really ready to rock and roll! Many are hitting that breaking point where change is upon them whether they consciously wanted it or not…the secret is – you do, as we create our realities, and now is the perfect time to take advantage of the energies that can support this new time of exciting, creative experience into a more joyous and empowered you.

It’s awesome to see all of the beautiful souls that are emerging into their light at this time and wanting to embrace things in more depth and fullness. Even with those I have had in classes and that I come in contact with on a regular basis, it is clear to me people are eager to move into a new experience and just needing gentle assistance, personalized support, inspiration, clear and focused reiteration, more resonating energy and like-mindedness around them, and comforting motivation to get both feet over the fence.

Reiki Healing Attunement and Animal Spirit Guide Sessions

If you or the animal companions in your life are in need of healing support in some way, if there are intents and goals you want help in manifesting, fears and blocks to be released, stress, unclarity and confusion to be put at ease, or greater flow, inspiration and empowerment to be activated, then Reiki Healing Attunements combined with Animal Spirit Guide Sessions are opportunity to receive the support you desire.

These provide empowered healing that will leave you and/or an animal companion feeling refreshed and supported on every level, while balancing the Chakras and stimulating the body’s own natural healing abilities. After a pre-session analysis, done via email, you’ll schedule a time and day for the session to take place which will be followed by a full, dedicated 30-minutes healing. Post-session, as a new sense of lightness is returned, you will receive a detailed email report of the session with insightful finding with an an optional animal spirit guide reading of the power animals that are with you and the wisdom they impart.

It is not necessary that you be physically present for a session, as Reiki is easily administered with the same results from a distance, allowing a personalized, remote and unobtrusive experience (you stay at home, the energy gets sent to you).

The Empowered Visionary – Support for the Courageous Visionaries of the World

Emerald Bridge Empowered Heart Chakra Logo

Many may remember that I used to offer different types of supportive and intuitive services, but with shifts I needed to honor, I had to step back from several things I used to provide, even switching to requested private or group Reiki classes ONLY, rather than setting up designated class dates. I always change things up in ways that mirror where I am at, that are a most effective use of time and energy, and that mirror the collective needs.

I’ve been observing the energy of things, previous to and even during my personal time off, and seeing nudges from those I’ve had in class and that I come in contact with on a regular basis, that point to my providing and offering a space of support for those who are really ready to rock and roll, as I am! I felt I should at least offer another option of my heart service for those who are stepping into their paths and needing that supportive insight to help them remain strongly on them and not give up, as these are pivotal times for not letting go of the dreams you’ve been working so hard for.

For a limited time, to be determined by intuitive nudge, I will be offering “The Empowered Visionary” Email Support to aid co-creation of the New Earth that is birthing by empowering the visionary leaders.

These are extremely potent times of rapid change from every angle and I want to be there as much as I can for other visionaries that are embracing the light of their authenticity, as I know how challenging it can be to keep strong and rooted in the creation of what may seem like ages you have been working towards. And I know that sometimes fresh perspectives, a little tweaking, small or big shifts, and even greater courage are needed, as well as know how those first steps can present new challenges, need reiterating support, could use the nurturing of a heart that understands, truly cares, and can provide insights.

Heart Sanctum by Tania Marie

I’ve been receiving the nudge over and over recently that I should revisit offering support in a way that is conducive to the needs of others, the collective, and yet still honors and doesn’t diverge from my own path focuses. I have a sneaking feeling that this is leading to my own “next step,” as I seem to get the essence of a “future” outcome ahead of time and then need to hone in on the now in order to take the steps to get there.

A quick back track to see how this fits in. The journey of the heart was the inspiration behind creating Emerald Bridge – my compassionately conscious business that fuses visionary services and creations. Emerald Bridge reflects and embodies the divine and powerful essence of the Heart Chakra and its integrative, healing synergy. My hope for Emerald Bridge was to also inspire today’s visionaries of the world to empowered action, as I believe in the importance of cultivating authentic expressions of creative passion and actively manifesting visions into reality. As we each come fully into our light, we then help the collective light to shine more brightly. I have always been one to encourage myself and others to take courageous steps in following our heart’s joy, and to shift into new realities of experience.

Me in Peru at Machu Picchu

As a Reiki Master Teacher and Visionary of the Creative and Healing Arts, I have always naturally been one to help plant seeds, foster change, see from very different perspectives, provide supportive insight and help reveal hidden, sometimes hard-to-swallow truths. To inspire other visionaries in the world to find their authentic voice and discover their creative abundance, to help foster core heart courage and empowering love and joy – these are the pieces of my nature that used to be channeled unconsciously, but I’ve come to consciously embrace, over time, as an integral piece of my journey.

Testimonials from happy clients about my services can be found here (scroll through for desired category of work): Satisfied Clients Share

What I’m offering is more about a partnership of support to help motivate, activate, empower, inspire, reveal, and kick start things into gear so that you can begin to share the joys and gifts of your heart as you were meant to – one visionary to another!

So for what may be a limited time, depending on what the energy calls for, I will be re-offering email support ONLY, but with a special focus:

• To inspire a call to action: Support for fellow visionaries that desire that extra boost up to fully get over the wall or simply need supportive and loving insights to help bring solid clarity, vision and new-found exuberance. To provide innovative and creative insights/visions/perspectives to help identify and move through creative blocks or help create more clarity with any creative projects, goals, or creations of the heart you are trying to manifest. (great for all artists whether in the creative or healing arts). We can explore visionary ideas, discuss new supportive processes, as well as explore the heart of the matter, together – all in effort to dislodge and move the energy into being.

• Work co-creatively and co-supportively (the now energy): Together, we will work in “responsible” partnership to help you embrace your  authenticity, reveal and work through fears, perceived limitations, enculturated and unconscious patterns, insecurities, doubts, frustrations and confusion that are holding you back. I provide a safe space to share and to explore – all in loving effort to help you courageously be you. I know what you are going through and I know how I have been able to shift the unwanted experiences to create more of what I do want to feel, so I can create what my heart wants and needs to share.

So…..If you are you able to: 

1. Commit to taking responsibility
2. Open your heart courageously and vulnerably to go deeper than you ever have
3. Be willing to explore new perspectives
4. Be willing to let go of preconceived ideas
5. Be willing to hold unconditional and non-judgmental detachment
6. Take action immediately in steps conducive to the level of what you desire 
7. Be ready to bring your inner world into the outer world

Then this may be the perfect partnership for you.

I find email/writing to be a safe way and a way for people, myself included, to really let go and to flow with their thoughts – especially the creative and visionary minds. For me, writing is a way to process through things and much of the time, after I have written something out, the light bulb takes place. It just needed that committed, safe process to explore and allow energy to move.

To have someone that can intuitively mirror, while holding that space for you,  and that truly understands and can offer a resonating hand, can make a big difference.

The email support I provide can be about exploring your fears, sharing your challenges, needing a sounding board, needing an understanding heart to help you know you aren’t alone, or insights to help you with your visions for your visionary focuses. The result will be helping you to reach your goals, find clarity, peace of mind, self-empowerment, build and discover your strengths and responsibility, create more conscious awareness, see from different perspectives, build your courage, find greater creative flow and exuberance, reach deeper into your creative imagination as the abundantly creative being that you are, and discover the realization of your ability to bring your visions into manifestation.

A way to not only kick start the action you desire in your life, as well as revitalize the actions you have been taking, but you will also experience more magic in your life, experience more synchronicity, embrace deeper joy, find more balance and in essence experience being more in touch with your heart authenticity so that you can be the empowered, unique and beautiful visionary you are.

This is a service I have been providing through every aspect of my work – sort of behind the scenes and in my daily contacts – from the sacred tattoo email consultations I provide to the Reiki classes, sessions and even writings, art, and crystal pendants I create. It naturally has taken place and in some cases is part of the process, but this is a way for those seeking the support to actually “commit” upfront to the process and to a responsible and empowering partnership, rather than side step the motivational drive that creatively may self sabotage, avoid, or even not consciously want to own up to the obvious desire that manifests by indirect interactions.

I feel it is important to take responsibility in our lives and to embrace asking for help. There is strength in vulnerability, which I have discovered myself. It is also a time for supporting and creating with one another in loving ways, realizing that we are all connected and are all in this experience together.

I am here to listen as your supportive friend, and fellow heart visionary, and honor and respect everything shared in complete confidentiality.

Empowering Your Heart CAN Transform Your Life

Me at my Circa 92 Art Opening

How much do you value living with greater peace, courageous passion, and infectious inspiration? I know for me, it means everything to me, because I can’t provide the level of service I share with the world through my creations, if I don’t first have that experience and connection within myself. If you also desire to be of your highest potential and greatest service and good in the world, then it starts with you. Empowering other visionaries is important to me, as I see the difference it has made in my own life and how that trickles out to everyone I come in contact with.

Every day I discover just how valuable that is for me and with every joy or pain filled step of my own process, I gain deeper gratitude for the daily miracles, that await my taking notice and I more deeply see the effects of every choice I make and how nothing is created that I haven’t chosen myself.

Money, Physical Well Being…The Abundant Journey to Center – Integrating It All Without Any Charge

Being, doing, and having….

We can think of life having three dimensions: being, doing, and having. Often we attempt to live our lives backwards. We try to have more money in order to feel we can do more of what we want, so we can be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. We must first be who we really are, then do what we feel guided to do, in order to have what we want.

Shakti Gawain

~ I allow myself to be; I do what feels right; I have everything I truly want. ~

Today’s post was actually one I had wanted to post about 2 weeks ago and is based on information I once posted on facebook about the topic of abundance and money. Prompted by a lot of recent personal reflections, discussions, sharings by a dear friend, and feeling the collective energy, I felt it important to repost some of this and offer a few perspectives.

While none of this is really new information, as everything is recycled with new perspectives and energy, just because we mentally “know” something doesn’t mean we have learned to fully integrate it into our lives in every way. We get easily convinced that the buck stops at the mental understanding. Remember, we also have the emotional, physical and spiritual bodies to process. The emotional and physical, usually being the most challenging and last pieces, as emotional is very deep-seeded and works in trickier, subconscious, more hidden and potentially self sabotaging ways. And the physical is one that many light workers have moved so far away from in developing their spiritual consciousness, while expanding energetically.

Life is not about pulling to one end of the spectrum of duality over the other, or that one is “better” than the other. If that were true, we would not be in human form and have emotional and spiritual bodies simultaneously. We are full spectrum beings with full spectrum experiences available to us! We mustn’t forget any one of our parts. It’s about the need for integration and balance and returning to that which we have journeyed away from in order to develop the other side and help to shift things collectively. The real shift will come, though, when we make friends with all of our parts and are able to become master magicians of our ENTIRE life. We may end up looking like the proverbial “fool” card (card #zero or 22 in the tarot deck) to many along our journeys, yet the fool holds secret mastery that so simplistically encapsulates the seeming complexity of the complete cycle of the rest of the “cards of life” #’s 1-21.

We are all on different legs of the journey and have different parts to play. There is no place for judgment of where anyone is at. In simplified terms, a very male oriented and traditionally and physically based, structured, aggressive, powering over energy has been slowly balanced out by those shifting into the more female oriented, unconventionally and spiritually/emotionally based, flowing, peaceful and empowered within and power to create energy. In doing so, many light workers have turned their backs on the old ways in order to strengthen the new ways to level out the balancing scale. This was needed to equalize the playing field so to speak and to help shift things into a new reality of experience. However, there is the tendency to continue further and further towards one end of duality, pulling the rubber band so tight between its opposite that it will eventually snap, blow out, or short circuit! Not to mention, an imbalance gets created and there can still be a subconscious or conscious charge in opposition to the opposite, also creating the constant turmoil and battle within and without.

Many have started their journey back towards center, which is the experience of integration that is now needed in our return to natural harmony with all.

With the wisdom gained, we are able to make the journey back with our sack full of all of our goodies (the fool card again – see right) that we’ve acquired in our processes along the way and are able to utilize these gifts to magically master all of the elements. We can stand in the middle of anything, integrating it all without charge and flowing in oneness with bigger picture vision of the wholeness of everything.

While necessary to have strengthened the feminine side, it is not the “end all” answer. The key lies center at a third position that encompasses all things simultaneously and can dip in and out of each polarity or be of both at any given moment without any judgment or attachment to either. I believe that many of us have at least mentally grasped this in it’s entirety, as stated, since this is the easiest part to integrate. Where we fall short is in emotionally and physically integrating. My guess is that some may be partially or half way there emotionally and the physical is the remaining fullness to incorporate. Which brings us back to abundance and money, and even our physical health.

I have found that for myself, I have also expanded so much in the polarity opposite of the male (yang) into the female (yin) that I’ve actually short circuited or blown out. According to Laura Bruno, medical intuitive, and my own naturopath and my own intuiting, it then appears as a yin deficiency alongside a yang deficiency. Not that either are not operating, but the yang would be in non-full or non-productive form and the yin would be way overblown. This coincides with the DNA shifts and our body’s energetics becoming more crystalline and light form, requiring and calling for “new” ways to support and nurture it that are not the ways we have been used to. However, the intent is not to disengage and allow our temple bodies to disintegrate or break down, but rather to rebuild them into new and revitalized forms by operating at optimal with all of our pieces integrated with the new energy and new ways of being from both sides of duality, as one newly created divinity of being.

Many light workers are experiencing the physical breakdowns and manifestations of what seems like unhealthiness, but rather it is a call to action that we take a new approach and not turn our backs on our bodies, but harmonize them with our gained understandings and work with them with our acquired learnings and new energies, while aligning them in natural harmony with earth. To follow the natural rhythms guided by intuitive flow and being in our hearts with love for all of creation, which includes all of what we each are embodiments of, is key. There is no sin of the body and no sin of things. It is an illusion and the way we have attached ideas to, and value to, or used things in control over or with unhealthy fears at core, or the values we have assigned some things over others, and the judgments based on conditioned patterns and instilling from others, that is the real issue. The culmination of getting hit with so many seeming “issues” right now really is a sign that all things are progressing perfectly and reminding us of the last pieces to integrate so that the new experiences can be in their entirety – not on a half full tank.

We need very grounded and strong foundations for these new forms we are becoming and for the new we are creating, so as not to recreate the same again. So completely stripping away the old foundation and rebuilding a new is of importance. We can’t continue building the new, as we have, on an old, outmoded and weakened foundation, which is what we have  been doing. We have been building taller and taller, our sky scrapers, but in order to ensure them not crumbling, we are getting the nudges to go back and work at the ground level with the new wisdom we have gained. We need not tear down all that we built, as we have the ingenious capability to work below the surface from a new perspective that will not topple our work, but merely strengthen it deeper.

This reflects in our Chakras and our movement back into the lower Chakras now from a new enlightened perspective to regenerate them into full and optimal empowerment and expression, just as we have been doing with our upper Chakras. The beauty and magic lies in the clicking on of all lights simultaneously at full potential.

It is time to explore those last pieces that are holding you back in whatever part of your life that seems to be operating at less than and understand the message and hidden teaching that can unlock and release you from the perpetual patterns and hindrances.

So, the judgment of money as evil, negative, bad, something to control with, or even the judgments of it being something you have to work hard for, isn’t spiritual, doesn’t come easy, or isn’t something that you create from doing what you love, as those are meant to be hobbies and not real jobs or meant to be given away free…these are all some of the core reasons preventing abundance for many light workers. Not to mention, not valuing yourself, not valuing that your work is important and equal to any other kind of work, fears of being all that you are, guilt around having more than others, fear that the money will make you into others that use it as power over, and non-trust in yourself as to being able to utilize the abundance in productive and beneficial ways…all come into play and then some, in hindering the ability to have the abundance the universe offers us (which isn’t limited to any definition of what abundance includes). We are not meant to live with scarcity programming in any way. That was something learned, to unlearn.

Money is a tool for exchange. For people to complain about money in any form, even complaining about having to use it to pay for creative and healing services is something that takes place a lot. It takes energy to create and money is ONE form of exchange of energy. It is not the end with all, but it is also NOT the enemy. True we were once all involved in a beautiful time period of being our true selves and exchanged our gifts freely with each other. It wasn’t viewed as our “work” but simply an extension of who we are and freely giving and receiving with each other and there was no mind to payment – just simply being you and having everything you needed because of that way of living collectively. And potentially we will, and are returning to that, but in the meantime, the current form of money is simply that…an exchange of abundant energy between us, that may shift its form again, as we shift, but will do so when we shift our relationship to it and our judgment perspectives to match the rest of the ways we have been shifting.

Money isn’t the only form of exchange to energetically balance goods and services shared. Yet, there is nothing wrong with money. I have always found it very curious that some believe that being an abundant being means to have abundance in every way, BUT financially. Where was it written that money was not part of that equation? At least as long as that is our collectively chosen form to operate within for now. We are on this earth to learn to live as the abundant beings we are in every sense of that word, whatever way abundant translates in your life. It’s the attachment we have on things, the way we let things control us, or our misuse, judgment or scarcity programming that can get in the way.

Just because others abuse things doesn’t mean that you will. That is a conscious choice you can create for yourself. It’s something many have bought into, that money is wrong. It’s how people have abused it that is the issue, not the money itself. And yes, at some point money may not come into play again and trade services will be the focus, but until then, a shift in perspective on money and the value we place on ourselves is important and will help get us to a new experience.

As more visionaries, creative and spiritual innovators step forward, this is increasingly PART of the embracing needed and integration with that movement back towards center, along with our physicality. We are not to give up anything in our journey to center, but to incorporate all things in a new way, in order to be one with all and to experience all. This involves realizing your worth and equality and that what you have to offer is valuable in every sense of the word and by realizing that, others will mirror it. Don’t let others invalidate you or allow those viewpoints to further disintegrate your feelings towards yourself. Don’t allow the misinformed beliefs of others to shape your beliefs and life.

Just something to think about. If something isn’t operating at its potential in your life, there is something there to look at and shift in order to create the balance and fullness of experience we are born with access to.

The issue is not to chase after money, or anything for that matter, but to allow things to flow in and out of our lives without judgment, attachment or need for control. Things will reflect our abundant full potentials in natural ways however that is meant to be mirrored in your life, whether monetarily or otherwise. But believe you are always taken care of and that everything is in divine order.

What is the definition of abundance? Something that is plentiful and flowing in large quantities. The way our abundance works in this now moment is with consciousness of the flow in and out of anything and everything for a higher good in a loving, compassionate way. Nowhere does it talk about having a limit as to what can be part of that abundance. It doesn’t only, but can include money or not. Key is not to have a negative energy towards it or anything else for that matter, as it’s WE who foster the energy of something by how we perceive it and how we attach reflection to it. And anything we have learned or had subconsciously programmed into us, CAN be undone. Especially now. We have available to us SO much support and energy to shift things instantly. We need only to intend it and consciously see, to have things shift. And of course, it is always helpful to ask for assistance in any form that you are drawn to and to start “being” the new.

Scarcity consciousness limits the universal flow of abundance, and is rooted in fear. If you move beyond this and know that the universe provides “all” that “you” will allow, then there is never any fear of running out or not having. As my good friend Tim Fullerton (poet extraordinaire) shared in his good analogy, “It’s like electricity. There is not a good electricity that lights your home, and a bad electricity that gives you a shock. It is all in the use and value we put upon it.”

You may find that for the moment, depending on your individual place in the process, that you may need to divorce yourself from things, beliefs, or certain people or exposures and shut out that type of energy while you strengthen your natural “you” ways of being and believing. But then remember that the now is not about isolation or being separate and opposed to things. It is about being able to then re-enter anew with all the foundational gifts you acquired and then enjoy the magical fruits of integration and new perspectives you’ve gained that will create a new and full experience.

As a Pisces, I understand the need to create energetic AND actual boundaries in order to process and strengthen my own feelings without infiltration of anything “not” of me. But after stepping outside, I now know the importance of returning and relearning how to be able to, as I shared before, stand in the middle of anything and integrate it all without any charge.

So remember to be who YOU really are, and do what is in your heart, in order to have all the abundance that is available for you to embrace. At the core of who we each are is an integrated being that like the Universe, is all things and nothing at once. No judgment and no attachment, yet complete and abundant fullness of experience we can walk in and out of with unconditional love. We are the innovators of a new template in creation!

More on the physical aspects and some ways to help with these shifts, will be in the next blog.

Until then live, love, laugh, enjoy, create, share and give abundantly.
