Grand Cross’s, eclipses, shifting energy what does it mean to all of us? Chances are it means nothing to most. Most who walk the planet, even those awakening would not pay attention to any of this news. They might have things going on in their life, yet would not attribute them to any of the above mentioned. Heck, 2012 came and went without a big change happening and most people went back to life as normal.

Only it wasn’t “normal”, nor will it be the way it was again. You see, no matter what is happening energetically, most people just move through life. Facing each day as it comes, dealing with whatever is placed on their plate in a methodical fashion. I salute them. They do not rush around the internet reading everything they can lay their eyes on. Some would say they are ignorant and should pay attention to what is. They might not be totally peaceful, but are any of the New Agers who rush around reading a gazillion articles about the times totally peaceful?

My guess would be, NO! Peace is an inside job. We don’t find it by informing ourselves about all that is happening within our solar system astrologically. We don’t find it in an eclipse, although they are pretty cool. And we don’t find it in the energy that is shifting. We find peace within ourselves by how we look at, use the information, or deal with what is going on , it is how we react.

We find peace in how we feel about our lives right now. If you are not feeling peaceful it is up to you to discern why and make changes. That is how you find peace. It is not out in the cosmos, it is not at your neighbor’s front door, it is not even from taking a million quizzes to find out who you are.

Some of the information floating around on the net right now reminds me of my younger years. When I was in grades 3 – 5 there was this huge undertaking by some cult to inform all of us human beings who inhabited the earth that life was ending. This happened on more than one occasion! They were announced on the radio, and as luck would have it, my school bus had a radio which we listened to on the drive from the bus stop to school, and on the ride back after school. The first time this news hit, I was terrified!

Round one, I did a lot of praying. Nothing happened. Round two, same thing, I prayed. Again, nothing happened. The appointed day arrived, it went off without a hitch. I boarded the bus, had my PB&J sandwich for lunch, played with my friends, went home, had dinner, watched TV and then went to bed. I probably stayed up reading to see what was going to happen because that was the type of kid I was. Round three… I prayed again, but this time heard… “you have nothing to fear, all is well, twice you have heard this and yet you are still there, don’t fret, the earth and people you love are going to be around for a long time.”

My point to this musing is this… enjoy what you have right now! Read all you want and at the end of the article, if it resonates, take it to heart, if not, toss it. Don’t count on what you read to change your life. You are in charge of that. If you are unhappy, you are in the driver’s seat to shift into another gear and climb the mountain to change, or at least have a better view to know what lies ahead.

Change is happening and it is fantastic to watch. I observe, that is what I do, and by observing people who have no clue about anything energetic wise, I am seeing the biggest shifts taking place. Chances are they are just following their hearts blissfully unaware of what new agers are trying so hard to grasp and understand.

Perhaps it is time for us to just go with the flow and stop trying to figure it all out. It is a natural process and all of us will arrive exactly where we are supposed to when we are supposed to.

Upon reading an article I got so excited; let me tell you this article resonated within me. It was speaking to me on all levels, and I was thrilled, exuberant, and eager to share my new found resonance! And share I did as soon as I could. Only to have my bubble burst with some facts that I in my exuberance had missed.

So there I sat, a wee bit disheartened. I thought, hmm how could I miss those glaring truths that I know for a fact to be true from experience and for at least one of them have seen with my own eyes? Or is it that the truths have been taught to me and I have willingly gone along with the knowledge shared because no one has disproved it. Why had it resonated with me so fully?

When this was first going down I can tell you I felt gullible. I took the article as my truth and ran with it. I then took those slights of truths being pointed out to me as full fact and did not even think about the article as a whole or why it had so fully resonated with me. Gullible!

I went back a few days later to read the article again. Partly I did this because normally when I read something if it resonates with me, I think about it and flip it around in my mind until it settles in and I have the significance of it in relation to me. Having it pointed out to me that I might in fact have slipped a few gears brain matter wise had me avoiding it and not even thinking about it.

When I hear something, read something, or have something taught to me, I take it in fully. I love learning. I gather all the knowledge about “it” I can, from whatever source I can and then I start the internal dialogue where I question everything. I question it until I know without a doubt why it rings true with me or until I decide that it is not for me.

The article in question did not need all that analysis. It resonated with me on a non-linear level, my soul understood while my linear mind was getting in the way. It had value at the soul level; eventually it would integrate with my linear thinking mind. For the moment I needed to trust and allow it to be.

Soul acumen gives us the ability to make good judgments or quick decisions. It is sharpness, a knowing and understanding that supports us always. When we trust this wonderful knowing, we move through life with ease.

Soul acumen is our inherent knowing; it always is in alignment with our highest good. For the most part we might not understand why we are feeling a certain way or how we know something. We trust the thought or feeling with caution, yet we trust.

We trust when something feels off even when we don’t know what that “off” is, until it is apparent to us. Our minds are linear yet our soul is non-linear, this non-linear knowing is what tunes us into the fact that something is off. We get it on the soul level.

Our linear mind is what questions and tries to rip it down and reshape it to look like what we want to see.

The time has come thought to pay attention to our soul acumen, it is not leading us astray, it is offering us valuable information that will lead us to our true desires and quite frankly beyond as our minds are limited to what we know unequivocally. By analyzing the information our mind or ego turns it into something total-

www.nourishpublication.com

ly different and this is when chaos happens. Wrong turns are made and met with resistance because it is not what you want.

You want peace, you want joy, you want love and when the door swings open and it is not what you desire an internal battle starts.

You forsake your angels, guides, god or source thinking they are working against you, when in fact you are working against yourself.

Listening to your soul acumen means allowing nonlinear dialogues to come through and not question them. Non-linear means that all information comes in, in one lump. Think of it as a parfait where all the information is stacked on top each other tightly. It is not in a linear fashion whereby it reads left to right or right to left, it is one lump. The best way I have heard it described is if you had an old typewriter and the mechanism was stuck and all the words typed one letter on top of the other until your message was done. All the information is there in that one space, and while your mind cannot read it your soul understands it totally.

Acumen’s are intuited and we work with them by not analyzing how we understand it, or trust it and see how it will unfold.

While soul acumen is not something you learn, it is something you are born with (everyone is born with it), you can definitely enhance it and expand it just by using it daily. A beautiful relationship is born when you allow yourself to trust the information you are receiving without filtering or analyzing it.

For the next month pay attention when you have a feeling, thought or knowing, write them down and then forget about them. What blossoms from those thoughts, feelings or knowing when your mind does not twist them or pooh-hooh them? One week after the article resonated with me so completely, one of the facts that was pooh –hoohed was given to my linear mind as a truth. Eventually all the pieces come together so that your mind understands what your soul already knows. For me the article was about my favorite number, the knowing was pointing out why this number was so important to me. Not something I would have ever gone hunting for, but by having the knowledge, it gives me another tool to use.

Be gentle as you work with your soul acumen, the ego will put up a fight and not want to surrender. Think of your ego as a business partner that wants to take all the shortcuts with its eye on the prize and not the long term ramifications. The quick fix, which will require fixing and tweaking along the way because it is not totally in alignment with your higher self. The soul would rather have a solid, lasting foundation built under itself so that all bounties gained is solid and not fleeting.

Acumen, soul acumen, the path to peace, harmony, abundance, acceptance, love… are you listening to yours?

The client who I’m writing about today embodies love and is in fact here this time (they have had only 5 lives on earth) to teach humanity to love. This client councils those around then with love as a basis to find much needed solutions to their problems.

This very loving soul teaches us how to love in everything they do.

And so as we progressed through the session it was periodically punctuated with animated outbursts from the HC, who was still trying to complete the healing on that hip. This was such a lively –funny HC connection, I was thoroughly enjoying myself as it worked and answered questions.

As often happens during the interview, the client had already sensed the Higher Consciousness’ presence so I didn’t expect them to have any problems settling down and relaxing……boy was I wrong!

“Ah! We’re working on the hip again, and they’re refusing! Stubborn soul, always was! There’s positively stubborn and negatively stubborn. Fortunately they are positively stubborn. They are positively stubborn, to be precise in English!” said the HC in one of its outbursts.

When they first lay down on their back their left hip was giving them so much pain they couldn’t lay on their back at all! After trying different positions this person settled down on their side and was comfortable enough to relax so we could proceed with the session. For a while having to end the session before it even began was a real possibility as the pain was excruciating. I silently asked the HC to do what it could so the client could relax and drop into trance to the point where I could ask for the healing to be done. Finally they settled comfortably and we began….yay!

As seems to be the theme lately with the people who come to me, the client didn’t go to a “proper” past life. We’ve noticed this lately with our clients. It seems for more and more people past life information isn’t needed or relevant to the person’s life plan.

The Higher Consciousness has other plans and we always trust that what ever happens is exactly what is needed.

This client was shown a couple of snippets, one in which they were hovering (not in body) over an old battlefield, it was empty, the battle long over, but they didn’t like it there and wanted to move on. Next they were standing in sand on a warm island with wonderful blue water. The client felt they were waiting and watching for something, but couldn’t identify what or who. Later the HC said it just wanted them to know they were a there, a part of those scenes, in other words they had had physical lives on earth, but didn’t offer any more information on how this pertained to the client’s life today.

From the first question about their life purpose the HC gave wonderful clear answers and as luck would have it much of what the HC wanted this person to understand connected with their painful hip. This issue originated from a past life in which the client was helping a group of people flee something. They were being chased, and some of the people chose not to go any further and they never made it. The client felt terrible guilt and responsibility in that life and had carried this pain forward into several lives, as well as this life, manifesting itself in their stomach and hip, and boy did they want to hold onto that!

The HC worked on this during the entire session even while answering other questions, and finally was successful, at one point complaining that “This isn’t easy you know!”

I always chuckle to myself when the HC finds the healing difficult because I know that even though the HC is limitless in what it can do, it is strictly bound by the person’s free will. And boy did this person have “free will!” For the purpose of this article we’re going to call it stubbornness.

www.nourishpublication.com

Later when I checked back to see how things were progressing the HC said, “It’s coming, they are refusing, but it’s coming. They cannot refuse me! Yes, well they have to let it go.” Then another outburst, “Ah ha! Refusing again, stubborn human!”

This poor soul had been carrying around this guilt and heavy responsibility over several lifetimes, clearly it was time to let it go, and finally, after much coaxing they did let it go. The HC shortly announced that the client would find they could lie on their back now and promptly rolled them over onto their back for the rest of the session. When I brought the client back up to waking consciousness at the end of the session they were stunned to find themselves on their back, immediately questioning how they managed to get into that position before they even realizing it was no longer painful to lay on their back.

English is a second language for this client so when a client is a little unsure of their English I will give them a suggestion that the English words will flow effortlessly and it always works, but I’d never had the HC comment on it before. All of a sudden this person’s HC said “Thank you for asking me for English, that’s coming better!” I’d never been thanked for this by the HC before!

This client comes from a planet that is like a blue-ish soap bubble with a lot of light in it. I found it such a beautiful image to hold in my mind’s eye. The whole planet is a school of love and this person is here now to teach earth about love.

While imagining this image in my mind’s eye I wistfully said to the HC, “Maybe someday earth would be like that planet.”HC said, “Yes, earth is a very beautiful planet and it’s a planet that has everything, no other planet has everything like yours has. The only thing earth lacks is love.” This person is one of many who are here on earth at this time to teach us to love and I hope we learn our lessons well.

If we acted on behalf of all who are being hurt, the way in which we would like the world to act towards us, our souls would rejoice.

We can put effort into our own self-improvement, and move along our pathway to a more enlightened way of being. We can learn to center ourselves, perhaps through meditation, and focus on becoming more spiritual beings. Then one day, the quietness of our developing inner peace is shattered by our awareness that bombs are dropping, fellow humans are being mistreated, and someone walks into his place of employment and guns down fellow workers. How senseless it seems. How foreign and far removed from our lives. Or so we would like to think.

Only recently, in my practice, I was assisting yet another child who was being teased and humiliated by fellow students until finally he was forced to leave his neighborhood school. One student starts the harassing process, and it seems others mindlessly follow. These children work hard to hold back their tears: to hide their pain. Teachers tell them they must be doing something to bring it on. Parents tell them to develop a thicker skin.

This alienates them further. At twelve, or fifteen years of age they begin to wish they could die. They hate themselves, and often have bouts of self-mutilation. In severe cases this process results, years later, either in suicide or a tragic act of vengeance.

Since the original abusers may be long gone, the rage turned to violence is often directed to the world at large.

It looks to the world like a random, senseless act. In reality, it is the end of a long chain of events that could have been prevented. How can it happen that the children of our society can turn upon individuals or groups simply because they do not like them?

How is it that they have all heard the golden rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you), yet they learn early that it is not a rule that is followed or enforced in any real way. They see that it is a rule to which we only pay lip service. Certainly, there are consequences if you harm another physically. But if we violate a spirit or torment a soul there is scarcely more than a lecture, if that. The message has not gotten through that perceiving yourself to be ‘better’ than another individual or group does not confer the right to be disrespectful.

The polarities in our own consciousness are reflected in all aspects of life, from sports to entertainment, from the playground to the boardroom, from politics to relationships. The good-guy/bad-guy polarity is so deeply entrenched in our minds

and our world that we unconsciously accept it as normal.

Just as there is a relationship between our own use of toxic substances and a deteriorating ecosystem, so there is a relationship between our own private polarity-thinking and the tragic newspaper headlines.

At the level of soul we know this. The soul can, from its vantage point of higher wisdom, see the truth. It is the earthly ego that, like an out of control child, exasperates the parent to the point that he/she gives up. The unconscious, more primitive egoenergy of the unevolved child drives the process. The least equipped to lead takes the lead through a process of abdication.

As individuals, we can no longer abdicate our responsibility for accessing the highest wisdom of our beings, and translating that into the way we live. If we reacted with outrage at the more subtle levels of violation of others, we would not be so outraged when a group of adolescents murders an outcast, or an outraged victim explodes.

We cannot remain in a state of detached denial when others in our family, school, or community are being negated or dishonored, even in more subtle ways. Those of us who see, who know and understand but do nothing are as much a part of the problem as those inflicting harm directly. Society used to turn a blind eye to child abuse, thinking it was an internal family matter. We have realized that abused children need support from outside their family system. If rejection and humiliation are being practiced in any situation, be it family, school, workplace, society or any country in the world, we must speak out.

Our deepest purpose here is to bring our relationships, our lives, and our world into alignment with that highest aspect of soul awareness. The amount of pain and suffering individually and in the world is inversely proportional to our ability to do this. Doing it is easy. Making the decision to do it is the hard part. It requires humility, surrender, and compassion. It requires truly doing unto others, as we would have them do unto us. If we acted on behalf of all who are being hurt, the way in which we would like the world to act towards us, our souls would rejoice. That rejoicing surely would reverberate throughout the Universe. We all have some work to do.

“Once upon a time you were a child who couldn’t stop asking questions.”

This is our time and this is your time. This is the time that is allowing of all of us, every single being on your planet to shift into something more, something different that will create change for everyone of us.

You may think that this is not true. We don’t blame you.

The contrasts are abounding around the world and the contrasts are there for each individual to come to the choice of whether to stay in their box or step out of it into something more allowing of you, the being.

Many of you on planet earth are in fear and in doubt that anything could change. It appears to be on a trajectory towards something that is not so nice. Some of you feel like it is the end of time. Some of you feel like the earth surely cannot survive with humanity upon her. Some of you feel www.nourishpublication.com

like no government is responding to your needs. Some of you feel like nothing is going your way.

And we would have you know that despite what it looks like, in any given moment, that change is upon you and always has been. Your parents were despairing of the world and their parents before them. You carry that fear within your cellular memory.

Now is the time to release that fear and know that everything is leading and reaching towards love. It may be that it is around a few bends in the road but know that this is the journey.

The contrasts are there for you to pay attention to. If it were all sunshine and roses, all of the time, you would not 18

be inclined to step out of your box into something more.

But know that when you notice something that rubs at you, in an uncomfortable way, then that is merely a cue for you to change your perspective.

It is your cue to think bigger than you have ever thought before. It is your cue to step outside of your current box and explore the infinite possibilities that are available to all of you.

There are no favorites played. Each of you can choose to step out of the box that you inhabit and choose something else. For some of you it will be a slightly larger box and for a time that will suit you, until it doesn’t.

Some of you will have circumstances that demand of you a total and complete change and way of being on planet earth. Your box will have no visible walls, be more flexible and have no discernable end or beginning. You will have realized that you cannot be contained.

You will be the ones who are the way showers for those that cannot quite make the leap without some outside guidance that reminds them that they have an inner guidance that is quite fine, if only they trusted themselves more.

There is no right or wrong to this journey on planet earth.

She will be absolutely fine, despite opinion and the current unawareness that seems to prevail. We know that enough of you are aware and willing to enter into the infinite possibilities and be the way showers for those that need a little encouragement.

You will also be the support systems for the young ones who have entered and are entering, even as we convey our message. They enter with knowings that will provide soulutions to the very contrasts that you think are irreversible.

They are willing to create from a place of no imitations and some of you will be the ones who nurture their being so that they can be free of the limitations that others may put upon them.

Who are these young ones? You know them well. You have had intimate connections in other times and places. You will find each other. It may be for a lifetime and it may be for a crucial moment or moments of this life, but rest assured you will provide what they need in those times. You agreed to play with them. You agreed to be the one that wouldn’t contain them this time around.

And so it is. You will have your turn again and the tables will have turned. They will be there for you. And so it is, www.nourishpublication.com

until you have fully experienced who you are on planet earth and experienced all the gifts that she has to offer you as you play at being human.

We salute your bravery and your determination to soldier on despite circumstances but know that soldiering on is now the old way. Now the energies are supporting you in expansion and flight. If you choose it can be far easier than you know or currently experience. It wasn’t meant to be so hard all of the time.

You dear ones, in many ways have created that for yourself with the help of outside opinions that have told you that is how it is. Well, it isn’t how it is anymore. It may take a few moments longer than you want in some instances to create with ease, but as you get better at being in joy and within the field of infinite possibilities, it will get easier and easier for you.

Once upon a time you were a child who couldn’t stop asking questions. You could be that again. Keep on asking questions and be open to what is available to you. It is how all the great inventions have unfolded. The question was the key-not the answer.

Could you, would you allow yourself to ask more questions? Would you be childlike again and be in the joyous world of infinite possibilities? The more that you do the more that you will. It is who you are. It is who you be.

All of this is awaiting your notice. All of it is waiting for you to be the joyous, magnificent being (that we know you to be) to come out and play.

Now is the time. Don’t wait another moment. Seize the momentum and be who you be. It is all that is required of you.

The rest of it will sort itself out, just because you chose to be you.

How much better can it be?

Many of you are feeling that you lack the necessary financial assistance to achieve those things that would bring you greater joy. On the other hand, many of you may be feeling that Love is the energy you lack. The realisation is gradually dawning that ALL IS ENERGY and that if there is an imbalance of energy anywhere, it simply needs to be realigned and re-balanced, thus bringing into balance all other energy in your experience.

Energy is also interconnected and intertwining, and if you lack in one department you will overflow in another.

Allow me to share with you My perspective on these things.

Love is expandable, ever increasing and does not diminish because it seems to have disappeared temporarily, for example, when you lose a loved one. Losing a loved one can be through the physical 'death' or through other means such as divorce or separation. You would say that loss is loss, however you experience it. As in the case of 'death' for example, when the physical experience has come to a natural conclusion, the greater more dominant vibrational part re-emerges into the greater more dominant vibration of Love. It has not ceased to be Love. It has simply found that it needs to express itself in a more expanded form.

You do not outgrow Love nor does it outgrow you. You expand with it, or you don't.

Love expresses itself in many ways and many forms. To close yourself off from this vital source is to consign yourself to a 'living death'… Love would not treat you so unkindly. Love wishes to expand and experience itself more and more and so Love creates many vessels into which it can manifest.

Love remains when all else is done. In a space-time environment, the exquisite energy of Love needs form through which to express itself over and over again. The vibrational frequency of Worthiness and Self-Respect take Love to a greater expression and experience of itself.

image into the mirror that next appears before you. Ask not that you be given Love; rather, become Love and seek to share the beauty of your inner being without judgement or condition.

Each one of you that experiences the human condition is in the process of recognising and remembering, and also now negating the energetic frequencies that cause imbalance. Each one of you requires from one another, by way of supporting your growth, the reflection and offering of that which is ME… Pure, divine love.

Love is an energy frequency as is money. Many who so generously give of their financial flow, may find they are unable to be as generous with themselves regarding Love; thus, the energy of Love is stilted. As you know, the flow to and fro is necessary for a healthy flow to continue to function. Preventing the flow of any form of energy creates an eventual blockage of energy - and is also detrimental to all aspects of that which is You. Learn to flow that which you fear.

It is perhaps beneficial for you to realise that Lack = Fear; Abundance = Love When you are fearful you chase the rainbow and look for the pot of gold. When you are loving you are able to stand in the stillness, knowing I am eternally with you, knowing your exact needs and desires. When you are kind to yourself, when you love yourself for just who you are; an imperfect Perfect creation of Mine, you will flow kindness to yourself. What you give to yourself you will also give to others. Then, all other forms of energy will readjust and balance out, and everything you need, want or desire will then flow effortlessly and ceaselessly.

Put your heart first. Pay heed to what it is telling you.

Stand still, in balance, and allow the rainbow to deposit your pot of gold into your heart!

With love and appreciation for all of Creation Mother

And that is why I say to you: Love yourself enough to respect who you are, for you are always perfect in My eyes. Project that

Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It is the presence of bravery. We see successful people out there living the life of their dreams and we think they have no fear but in reality they do. They’re just experts at not showing it externally. Think of an experienced radio show host who talks to the public on a regular basis and millions and millions of people all around the world are tuning in and listening to their favourite radio program. These hosts still experience their fear right before they go live but once they start speaking all that melts away. So successful people out there are just as afraid as everyone else, however, the difference is that they don’t let their fear paralyze them. They feel the fear and do it anyways.

Fear does have its place so long as it doesn’t paralyze us. It can get that adrenaline going, it can get that fire going inside of us for creative undertakings or whatever our goals are. Fear helps us in writing exams because we want to do well. It also signals that imminent danger is near and we need to take action to protect our safety. Realize that fear will never be totally obliterated 100%. If we can just get comfortable with our fear and cultivate courage in the face of it, that’s workable.

Don’t let fear win over you. Work with your fear. It’s not about overcoming it but working with it and through it. You are the writer, director, and producer of your dreams. You are powerful beyond measure.

Analyze your Fear and Journal Break your fear down into its component parts through deep inner exploration. We do this by acknowledging our feeling and experience of fear. If we deny or ignore our fear, push it down, and try to band aid it, it actually gets worse. Say to yourself “I’m afraid” either through inner dialogue, journaling, and even meditating on it. Try locating where the fear is located in your body. Is it your stomach, or chest?

Take a deep breath and nurture fear. Be okay that it’s there. Try to figure out whether it’s fear of failure/ success, fear of rejection, or looking egotistical, for example. Write it down in your journal once you receive an answer. This is called “mind dumping” and helps us to break down our fear and release it in a safe and effective manner.

Visualization Look at the outcome, imagine it in your mind’s eye, and make a goal about how you can embrace it. If you have a fear of nature, join a walking group and do it with others for support. Go gently towards the things that scare you to slowly push yourself through things that make your heart hammer. Do them in a safe way and you will see it translate into the rest of your life as your confidence increases in other areas.

You’ll be even more powerful.

For example, create a 1 page character bio of someone and give him/her an identity. With your imagination, play the dialogue of his/her character’s words thinking in the voice of the character.

Is your character confident, feeling powerful, etc? Be another person and make up a powerful and sexy name for him/her.

Think of his/her accomplishments, and where he/she grew up.

Then any time you’re feeling fear and thinking you’re going to mess up, know it’s this other character that is going to show up and take charge.

Take Control of Your Perceptions Gradually desensitize yourself of the fear. Sometimes we’re afraid of things because we haven’t really been exposed to it very much. We’re afraid of the unknown. We don’t know what’s going to happen so we make up this whole big story about what it’s going to be like and how it’s going to feel. We’re in our heads and letting our egos run the show. Instead of going into scenarios about how you think you might may or may not feel or what’s going to happen, acknowledge that you don’t know and that it’s okay not to.

Gradually start to do the things that scare you by directly confronting them head on. It’s the best way to overcome them and transform your perceptions. Encounter the source of your fears to see where you’ve made it scarier. Realize that there isn’t anything to be afraid of. Your safety is not at risk. What is the worst thing that can happen? Usually the answer is not that bad. We make things so big in our minds we turn them into these huge mountains of fear but when we face them we realize it’s no big deal. If you’re afraid of heights try walking across a bridge.

Afraid of the water, go swimming with a professional swimmer.

Change the Way You Think About Fear The same things we fear also entices us. We get feelings of exhilaration and even passion. Give fear a place in your life as there is no way to completely eliminate fear. It’s a valid emotion just like joy or sadness. Fear builds character and teaches us how to act with courage. Don’t let fear paralyze you by doing whatever scares you anyway. Affirm today: “I am powerful beyond measure. I have the courage it takes to succeed at whatever I do.”

A band of six robins have discovered the staghorn sumac cones – their flame long gone, but robin’s breast a throb of glowing russet orange.

They work the tips with fervor for what lies within, a treat on a cold March ending.

It’s a monochromatic scene, breast, cones and dormer windows in a subtle range of burnt sienna tones;

robin heads and roofing, deep charcoal gray, flatten in the cold light into sharp patterns for print.

We wait impatiently for more color, a broader sense of change to come, beyond the pale of winter.

Gail Siler, PhD

I don’t know about you but I find the word ‘ascension’ to be an intimidating word. It goes right along with ‘enlightenment’ on my list of biggies. These two words seem to have become the “new” New Age hot issues.

They give me the worries. Like, “how do I get there, what do I need, will there be a big party when I ascend? Do I need to pack a gown and gloves? Will a big space ship pick me up and take me somewhere? Will I meet Jesus, Mary and Arthur, (how’d he get in there anyhow?) Buddha, Mohammed? Where are the enlightened women figures and will they be there to greet me?

Will the angels be there to welcome me with song?” And the biggest worry of all. “What if I don’t make it in time?”

My age cohort was the one that began exploring and researching these issues and bringing them back out of hiding, even whilst we were wearing love beads, tie dye Tees and travelling in VW campers. My journey was in a yellow VW pop top, but that’s a warm fuzzy memory and part of a different subject.

So my generation’s task was researching the ancient texts and literature to find and then bring back the awareness and knowledge of what spirituality is; what it means, and why we should want to be on that journey. We read books, lots and lots and lots of books. And we asked what we thought were deep questions and explored the answers. In my own high school days, the president of our class and some of our best athletes (football, tennis, swimmers) and thinkers, actually did some pragmatic research. They asked “if there is a God, let God knock over this ketchup bottle.” Then they sat and waited patiently for God to move His hand (in that age, God was still just a He.) One of the guys grabbed the ketchup bottle and sat it sideways. Did God ask him to move it? Was God working through him? And off they went on another round of questioning.

There was no New Age, were no magazines, no metaphysical sections in book stores back then. We found the materials in old libraries, read the ancient stuff when we could find it on the library stacks.

Then Seth spoke through Jane Roberts, (Seth Speaks) and don Juan entrapped Carlos Castaneda into his party and between

the two of them, a trail of bread crumbs began to crystalize, and as the decades progressed the breadcrumbs sprouted many paths.

In a matter of a few decades there were hundreds of wise teachers gaining notoriety, offering books and classes on ‘the way’ to enlightenment.

Our modern world has adopted Mark Twain’s statement “when I see it, I will believe it,” as our concept of reality. But we have been incorrect. When we believe it, we manifest it. So start walking forward on your journey with the attitude that all things are possible and watch what happens. When you believe it, you

will see it!

Step 4. Trust

Here’s where I started bouncing off the walls because no sooner had I found one path to take then someone else came up with a completely different type of path and I’d zig over there just in time to find the next newer one appearing right beside the current new one. Talk about overwhelmed!

But one of the side effects for me personally is that thousands of books, discussions, and many decades of simmering the information and opening door after door after door; and yes, running into wall after wall after wall; at last, “I can see clearly now.” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkwJ-g0iJ6w) Aligning with Enlightenment As a five decade spiritual journeywoman, I’d like to pass on the distillation of what I have learned on this path to Ascension and Enlightenment. Yes, in the olden days only priests, secret societies, and ancient wise ones guarded the information and dispensed it to those who were worthy. That was then, this is now. And is it hubris to undertake this task? I don’t believe so at all. Here’s what I have learned in five steps.

Step 1. It’s easy and it’s inside of you Everything is inside you. You don’t need teachers, you just need to listen to your inner self…YOU are your own teacher… or rather your inner guidance is your wake up coordinator.

Your heart guidance will lead you to external guides and methods that are most aligned with your past, your energy and your lineage. Follow your heart and she will take you where you need to go.

Step 2. Declare your intent You have to make a commitment. You have free will: your guidance won’t force feed you or drag you into enlightenment, kicking and screaming. You need to ask for assistance by declaring your intent.

Here is one way to do this. Draw a line on the floor or take a piece of string and cut it and place it on the floor. Now, step across that line and as you do so, declare to your inner guidance that you are choosing to awaken to your highest self and move back into enlightenment. To add power to this, have a friend act as witness as you step across. Believe it or not, this works. You can do a ritual, or just have a quiet conversation with your guidance. But doing something physical makes it clear to YOU that you are onboard and committed.

Step 3. Believe “Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” (Lewis Carroll). Suspend disbelieve.

You have to believe in things in order for them to show up in your life.

www.nourishpublication.com

Trust that you are safe, guided, and it’s all going to work out. You are, you are, and it will. This is a biggy and it’s perhaps the hardest step. That’s why it’s also one of the later steps. The wonderful phrase, “Leap and the net will appear,” is all about trust. I personally get butterflies when I read it. But I tell you from my personal experience of having leapt, the net DOES appear. So leap and trust the net will be there. It will. Doesn’t mean you won’t be scared skinny when you leap! But just do it!

And don’t wait til you can see the net…it doesn’t work that way!

Step 5. Gather yourself together This is the part that can take time because we love our hang ups, our stories and our problems, we love looking at what’s wrong and angst-ing over how to fix ourselves. Mostly we indulge….alot!

But we aren’t broken, we are just AWOL. Over time (life times, as it happens) we have given away, lost, forgotten, vowed, hurt and lost much of our energy from our energy body package.

We need all the energy we came here with in order to dance through the doorway into our enlightenment.

For this stage, your inner guidance takes the lead and exposes you to all sorts of experiences that are geared to get you to pull yourself together….literally and metaphysically.

Pay attention to the experiences you are having in your life. Look at everyone and every experience in your life as mirrors sent by your inner Self to reflect back to you ways you have lost or misplaced your energy. See these experiences as opportunities to recover your misplaced energy. Resolve to resolve your dilemmas in the best way possible. Every time you resolve one of your dilemmas, you gain back more of your original energy.

Ascension isn’t the end of the story, by the way. It’s the beginning of being awake! It’s the beginning of being what we came here to do: To be whole, and to create wonderful adventures with earth, her beings and with the stars and their beings. We are magnificent beings of light that are dancing right now in our earth bodies and experiencing the joy of simply ‘experiencing.’ How grand!

Ascension is remembering who we are. Plain and simple.

We are glorious, giggle-iscious and joyous spirit beings in human form. So go get your string, cut it a yard or meter long, lay it straight out on the floor, and step across into reawakening. Catch you on the other side.

there comes a time when you’ll need to ask yourself, “if not now, when?” in regards to pursuing happiness and escaping pain, in striving for inner ease and finding peace of mind, in achieving the greatness you hold within. in chasing that inconceivable dream who screams so loudly inside your brain, in putting an end to old harming habits, in creating healthy new routines, for body, mind, spirit and soul? if not now, when? when will you be? when will you become? when will you ever find the might to fight, to get up and try? one thing’s for certain, you won’t if you don’t ever begin. resist no more. let this be the precipitous moment, the spark that initiates your transformation, let this be the inciting incident that permeates your soul, that gives you the final nudge to step into the light of your true self, of the you who aches to be actualized. the time is now.

your future potential awaits like a ripened fruit clinging to a vine, ready to be picked and turned into fine wine. bt 04.23.2014 CONNECT WTH BRIAN THOMPSON https://soundcloud.com/thornybleeder http://www.thornybleeder.com/ https://www.facebook.com/the.brian.thompson

How did it go last month? Did you enjoy connecting with and being deer? There are so many places one can go with this awareness. This month I invite you to come with me into tree consciousness.

Prepare for your journey by taking yourself into a space where you will not be disturbed. Bring with you paper and pen for writing, or a device for recording your experience. Go outside into nature or stay in your warm home space. Just make sure that you are where you want to be and that you are comfortable.

Begin by going through a gentle relaxation. Starting with your toes, feel warm, golden light move slowly up your body. Allow the golden light to move out through your crown chakra and continue out into the universe. Anchor it to a star. Next, visualize a soft white light above your head. Pull that light down through your crown into your body, all the way down to your toes. Feel it move out through the bottom of your feet. Continue to let it flow down into the earth, right to the core. Anchor it there.

Now, visualize yourself on a path going through a meadow. The meadow is sweet with warm grass smell, insects buzz lazily. Birds fly overhead. There is a low hill in front of you, and on the top of that hill is a tree. You arrive at the top and walk over to the tree. It is a juniper tree, and there is a perfect spot underneath it to sit and lean your back against the trunk.

The warm scent of the tree fills your nostrils, and you find your eyes closing. You want to know more about this tree. You center yourself in your heart and reach out asking to be connected with juniper consciousness. Instantly you feel a connection with the tree behind you. Savor the feeling. Now become aware of the trunk at your back.

Feel the bark. With your heartmind, move into the bark, then past the bark into the next layer. Feel the difference.

Now move into the sap that is flowing and on into the heart wood. Pause here for a moment feeling the essence of the tree. Now expand your awareness, staying cen-

tered in the heartwood. Expand up and out into branch and needle. Feel how the heart of the tree continues all the way to the tip of each small needle. Feel the sun’s warmth, and how it feeds you. Be there for a space of time.

When you are ready, expand your awareness down the tree into the roots. Feel how you as tree are anchored in the earth. Open your awareness to feel root hairs growing, drawing moisture in. Feel it being absorbed into your being.

Expand your awareness further. Feel the connection between you and all other junipers, first near to you and then further and further away. Note how all juniper are you and that you are all juniper. Allow yourself to stay in this expanded state for a time.

Now begin to slowly move back to the heartcentre of the tree. When you are completely aware of the heartcentre, move gently back into your own body. Take a moment to be totally in yourself, then thank Juniper for sharing with you.

Stand up from under the tree, stretch and move back along the path to the meadow. When you are back where you started from, begin to bring your awareness to your toes, wiggling them gently. Move your knees, wiggle your fingers, bring your awareness totally back into the space you are in.

Take your pen in hand and begin to record your experience. If you have a recording device, start recording, close your eyes and speak your experience.

During this month go back to the meadow. Choose the same tree or a variety of trees. Enjoy the experience of being tree.

Until next month – Namasté

Mercury … Moves to Gemini on the 7th then quickly into Cancer on the 29th. Speeding up then getting all emotional about it J Next month we will experience another Mercury Retrograde when Mercury travels back into Gemini. So if you have any pressing communication issues – solve them this month..

Venus … Moves from Aries (Zena Warrior) to Taurus (Earth Goddess) on the 28th Mars … Continues his travels through Libra and finally moves Direct on the 19th get ready to explode forth in Energy and Action.

Sun moves into Gemini on the evening of the 20th … Happy Solar Return (Birthday) to all you Gemini out there. Allow the Sun to infuse you with health and vitality

Solar cycles … New and Full Moons – it is important to step outdoors and connect to our sky, both at night dusk - dawn and during the day sunrise - sunset. When we do this we inherently connect to our genetic/collective habits and patterns of our multi-dimensional bodies.

Tracking the conditions of our solar and lunar patterns (both collectively and personally) provides insight on the regeneration of our whole being. By tracking this information you awaken to consciousness of patterns and habits that lie deeply within you. This can be easier said than done, but each time you awaken you get closer to experiencing yourself as a participating co-creator in your life.

The Full Moon – May 14th – 23 Scorpio 55’ As you reflect on the wave (or tsunami) created by last month’s Lunar / Grande Cross / Solar Eclipses, the gut reaction may be that you feel the need to move into an emotional protective place, back yourself up against the wall and hunker down for the long run. A skilled way to approach this could be that you need to look for opportunities and growth through your experiences of the “wave”. Think healthy, defining boundaries.

The New Moon – May 28th – 7 Gemini 21` Messages and communication which provide (or request) clear acknowledgment by those in authority, perhaps in an attempt to reassure others that everything (the future) is going to be ok. Past insecurities may come back into focus, but try not to take dramatic measures in your desire to feel secure – instead envision clearly your future as you set goals (and actions) in order to fulfill these needs. You don’t have to do this alone … enlist others to help you … Make sure your smaller goals align with your larger goals.

Jupiter … Continues powerfully through Cancer – look for opportunities and growth Saturn … Continues moving back through Scorpio – dig deep – release your inner fear. www.nourishpublication.com

Combine your own Sun sign (ego/identity/core), Moon sign (emotions/Patterns/Habits) and Ascendant sign (projecting your identity) by reading each sign and combining them into one fabulous guide for the month.

The theme for the month … waking up – being called to action – rise and shine Aries (March 21-April 20) New goal setting opportunities are on the 23rd, 24th Wake-up and meditate … your call to action is bringing you into an awareness of the collective … perhaps the secrets that the collective keep (good and not-so-good).

The more secure you feel in your own skin … the more you will be able to embrace and help others.

Taurus Horoscope (April 21-May 21) Confirm your new goals on the 25th, 26th Your wake-up call is in your ability to completely lose yourself in the group or collective need.

Even though you may be asked to lose yourself – you have a strong sense of identity and an awareness of the mask you wear in order to move through the world.

Gemini Horoscope (May 23-June 20) Confirm your new goals on the 1st, 28th A solid internal meditative practice is possible and a requirement, as you wake-up and realize you need to (or the world needs you to) shine your light out into the world.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21-July 20) Confirm your new goals on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 30th You may (surprisingly) find yourself craving group interaction, your wake-up call is asking you to share your knowledge with others. If you are not already teaching, get your material ready.

Leo Horoscope (July 21-Aug. 22) Confirm your new goals on the 5th, 6th Wake-up and start investing in yourself, you have incredible leadership skill – draw on these innate skills and show others you believe in yourself and you are worth it.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) Confirm your new goals on the evening on the 8th, 9th You are being called to wake up to the people you have surrounded yourself with … healthy ? … unhealthy ? Your relationships act as incredible mirrors into the depths of your subconscious patterns and habits – helping you to recognize where you are … if you can wake up .. you will see what you need to do in order to be where you want to be.

Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Confirm your new goals on the 10th, 11th Health is featured as your wake-up call this month, but his is not necessarily regarding exercise or nutrition – but could be in finding the right practitioner in order for you to express your healthiest self. Think back to things that have really worked for you in the past – know that if you follow your heart – you will find what and who you need.

Your wake-call is focused around writing and communication, you have access to an incredible depth of collective creativity … tap in!

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 21Feb. 18) Confirm your new goals on the 19th, 20th Wake up and smell the coffee … your day to day finances and your sense of security are in question. You may need to do a `home budget` in order to get back on track.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 18March 20) Confirm your new goals on the 21st, 22nd Your physical body needs you to wake-up … if you are struggling to come to terms with diet or exercise look around and see where you might get some extra support (cooking classes … local yoga or gym … how about a local running group).

Tamira@silverdisc.ca

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Confirm your new goals on the (evening) 12th, 13th, 14th (until noon) Your wake-up call is around children, having fun and being creative. Relationships are integral to understanding who you need to include and allow to experience this creativity with you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22Dec. 20) Confirm your new goals on the 15th Your wake-up call brings your home and home life into view – Have you become a workaholic taking time away from your home life? You may feel a need to burst back onto the scene at home – let your loved ones know that you really are engaged.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 21Jan. 20) Confirm your new goals afternoon of 17th, 18th www.nourishpublication.com

At the end of the day you can either focus on what’s tearing you apart or what’s keeping you together.

Crystal Forecast May 2014

with more responsibility than you could ever imagine.

In this month of May I bring to you these words with the hope that they may guide your soul, calm your spirit, and gift you what you need in this moment. These words come from the greatest probability for those who will perceive these, and we call forth the words that will serve our healing and evolution as high as possible.

Let your love unfold from deep within all over yourself and keep flooding outwards to your dear ones. Let this love just erupt from you! The love that comes from being grateful to oneself, and the love that comes from taking care of oneself first and foremost. This is so important. So very, very important. After such a challenging and harsh month before this one, as the sun starts to shine bright on the coast and the clouds blow by you find out deeper what your love is for yourself.

Over-Arching Theme This past month has been a challenge and many are tired, exhausted, even when it seems that they do little. In the physical realms you may feel that you have done little, but you have done a lot in the energetic realms. I see reams and reams of energy, white light tinged with the softness of gold flowing through you and flooding the planet. We cannot help it – we are part of something bigger than us all and it cannot be denied as much as we would like to say that we are small at times. Our destinies are entwined with the Earth, and we participate in our own and her Ascension process. She is elevating to something greater, as are we.

Its why the call to the superheroes is coming so strong for us right now. Our planet, and us, need our superhero's selves to come forward to help all Beings, not just themselves, ascend. And speaking of Ascending – there is nothing to do but just be. There is nothing to do but be in the present moment each day, and act from the goodness and trueness of your heart and soul. There is nothing else but for you in each moment to be a superhero. Superhero's can have grand moments where the world has seen all the work that they have done, or they have a moment of stardom where they are acknowledged for what they do.

Superheroes though are built slowly (sometimes quickly) in our physical world. They are built with each small choice that elevates others into being. They are built daily. They are built because of their integrity, their love, their hope, their beliefs, their values, and their hearts.

They are built because each morning they wake up and say “I'm going to be the best that I can be, moment to moment.” and they will do that throughout the day! They will do what their heart tells them is right.

It is important to note that there are other ways of being a superhero but that is the way that is most needed at this moment in time. We do not need more people seeking power or greed for the single over the love and community of the whole. We do not need more people desiring that kind of power in the false hope it will free them.

That power does not provide freedom – it provides you www.nourishpublication.com

This is the time to renew your commitments to who you are, and what you are doing. This is the time to reestablish your rhythm if you are off of it, or if you have none, establish one a new for yourself.

This is the time that you will note a huge gratitude for yourself coming as you take care of yourself in ways that are almost revolutionary to you. There is nothing to fear, but the message is this through Rhodochrosite today: A part of self-love stems from the gratitude we feel for ourselves when we make the choice to love ourselves.

The heart opens further and further and further each day.

This month we will feel the stretches in the heart as I see the heart connecting and reconnecting with different chakras and parts of our energetic systems. As we shift so do our systems to match us. It is a wonderful world that we live in!

A reminder comes to us to look deeper into our love for ourselves and how that plays out. A suggestion comes from Rhodocrosite which is to write a love letter to yourself each day. The letters you write to yourself may not start out as love letters, but they will over time turn into letters of love. And then you will feel the connection between you and God/Source/Universe, whatever your terminology is for that Which Is Greater Than Creation Itself.

I feel that many of us will feel that joy of connectedness later in the month and that there will be an upliftment of the heavy energies that stream through us and around the planet at this time. It will shift and there will simple pleasure and joy for all of us.

May 4th - 10th This week comes with two cards. The first is Diamond, subtitled “Light Body”. The other is Black Tourmaline, subtitled “Protection”. These cards create a very interesting mix of energies this coming week.

Diamond speaks of a time when there is a large influx of energies coming into our systems in order to elevate us. As these energies are coming into our systems there is a change in our DNA. The more light the more the change. The more the internal change the more external the change is seen. This is a fast moving time and I am to remind you that the crystallization of the structures of our bodies is happening and must happen. As these parts of us change we will see the flow of our life changing and we will know that we have stepped forward with the planet and other souls who are ready and seeking the same that we are.

It is a wonderful time for these shifts to be happening and to continue to grow in our awareness is important. We must be conscious of what we are doing and what we are saying for it is our consciousness that creates awareness and through our awareness we can ensure that we and those around us are safe. Safe from what you say? Safe from taking on too much, safe from “vampires” or the ones who take too much energy usually unconsciously, safe from those who would want to keep you powerless.

The more conscious we are the more aware of the power we have and hold. This awareness grows into a beautiful powerful thing as we learn how to wield the power that is truly ours and honour it. www.nourishpublication.com

May 11th - 17th Flourite, subtitled “Mental Mastery” is the card that flows for this week. This card strikes me with the purple that is on it, and indeed, that purple is deep. It goes deep into the core of us and lifts us up, just the colour of flourite. Cubes built on cubes in structure, it helps us to create the building blocks we need in our lives to get to where we want to go. It helps us create plans and build.

It helps us to clearly see what it is and where we want to go, and I feel that this week, will be a time for planning, shifting, and changing. I feel that there will be more clarity gifted in all the probabilities which one is the best way to receive that which you want to and are meant to create on this planet in this life time. I feel that you will find a way to know yourself and your mind better.

I feel this week to be very much in the mental realms of planning, organizing, strategizing, and lots of learning in the mental realms.

May 18th - 24th Peridot, “The Bringer of Joy” arrives! And indeed!

That is what it feels like! It feels like this week all the concerns and worries you had are lifted away, gone with the wind, and now that you have your plan and everything else in order, you are ready to just relax and let things flow!

Enjoy the sunshine and all those things that give you joy. Make it a priority this week to experience your joy at least once a day. No less, and hopefully ten times more of that joy will come to you. And you will find the plans you set the week before are moving at a speed unprecedented as you give them your joyful thoughts and your heart peace.

This is another heart-ful week and I see romances coming together, becoming strengthened. I see celebrations happening. I see lots of sunshine. I see that there is a shift again in planetary energies leading to a light heart and dancing. Enjoy it.

May 25th - 31st Lifting the veils of illusion to come into more and deeper truth and authenticity is Green Tourmaline, subtitled “Enlightenment”. This is a wonderful card to end with this heart centred month. This card tells me that there is a time for truth and that time is now. It tells me that we are travelling through the Joy of the higher heart and now going deeper into the depths of our heart.

We are on a cycle where we go every deeper and deeper into the heart until it extends to our throat and our solar plexus. We then find ourselves aligning all three of those energy centres. We find that effortlessly and with ease the root and third eye take care of themselves, opening up and finding the balancing.

Our bodies start to beat again to the Mother' s heart beat.

It is the reintroduction of boundless love that we shall find ourselves shifting into the communities we desire. Changes start at home and extend outwards.

They always start within even when we don' t realize it and extend outwards to the rest of the world around us.

We leave you hoping that these words help your hearts and souls in Divine Timing. May these words become what you need when you read them. <3 Thank you.

I feel that deep truths will be looked at and many subtle shifts will occur due to that deep truth. I feel that many of us will be impressed with our own wisdom that pours forth. I feel that deep resonance will be found for ourselves in the outward expression of our lives.

Earth Crystals

Photo: ŠMarlene Cobb

All crystals have beneficial properties but each astrological sign has crystals that are said to support those born under that sign. Often one crystal will show up under more than one sign yet offers something totally different. Just as there are many aspects to each astrological sign, each crystal has many aspects that vibrate with different aspects of our body, mind and soul and what works for one person is not necessarily true for the next.

Start to collect the crystals associated with your sign and keep them in a small bag you can carry in your pocket. Not all the crystals associated with your sign will resonate with you, as always keep the list for your sign handy and carry around those that do. If a stone does not resonate with you now, still find one that you are attracted to, down the road you might find you are drawn to that one crystal.

Rhodochrosite: promotes selfimage and the spontaneous expression of emotion. Taurus often neglects these aspects of themselves, especially when they are stressed about their financial future. This can transform their natural frugality into miserliness, but Rhodochrosite will combat this tendency.

Rose Quartz: helps Taureans to love and care for themselves.

When faced with uncertainty, they can find peace and ease of mind, which allows them the freedom of clear thinking and fresh undertakings.

Agate: strengthens Taurus’ thoughtful, down-to-earth character. Agate’s sheltering influence allows them to make their dreams a reality. It also helps them live within their means.

Chrysocolla: opens the eyes of Taurus to the beauty of nature and helps them see the oneness of heaven and earth. This will then allow them to free themselves of doubt and make their lives richer and happier. Stress and anxiety will also be reduced.

Zircon: leads to an awareness of impermanence. Zircon helps Taurus find their way in times of sorrow, loss, or death. It counteracts the narrowing of one’s vision, bringing reconciliation with reality, while stimulating the powers of imagination.

Brighter varieties are particularly lucky for Taurus.

Other gemstones include: Diamond: gives Taurus the insight to recognize higher values and ideals, and not only think of personal gain.

Malachite: lightens life’s burdens for Taurus and helps them through times of change. This stone teaches that everything in the universe is in constant change, and man, as a part of the cosmos, must undergo continual transformation and renewal.

Emerald: imbues the often burdened Taurus with the energy and freshness of youth. It provides insight and speeds thought processes while enhancing concentration.

Obsidian: helps Taureans connect with their feelings and stay grounded. This allows them to weather the storms that life can bring.

Citrine: provides Taurus with the sense of safety and security that is so dear to them. Taureans love to eat and citrine helps in detoxification and promotes healthier skin.

Aventurine: brings patience and tranquility. It encourages Taurus to dream. It is very helpful to those bogged down in the material world.

Essential Oils– Vera Enshaw

One of my joys in life is being able to walk by the many rosemary bushes that grow in the gardens along the paths that I walk every day. So beautifully aromatic, pungent...and when the weather is warm it brings the smell out so that just standing beside the bush I am able to enjoy the aroma. And who hasn’t enjoyed the pungent taste of rosemary on Greek potatoes, or on roast lamb?

Even if you have access to fresh rosemary this essential oil is a must-have in your collection. Experiencing hair loss? Try massaging your scalp with rosemary, either by itself or blended with lavender and cedarwood. This is not an overnight solution, but persistence apparently pays off! (Rosemary oil is used in many hair lotions and shampoos.)

The smell of rosemary is almost like that of eucalyptus but with a touch of mint. That makes sense when you know that this plant comes from the mint family! Diffuse this oil for mental clarity and to heighten memory, to clear and purify a room or a sacred space.

Historically the herb symbolizes remembering—put a drop on a cotton ball along with lavender to assist when taking exams.

It can stimulate the immune system and has been found to be antibacterial. Also helpful with problems relating to the respiratory system. Diffuse, rub on the bottoms of the feet or put a drop in the bath.

If you have muscular aches and pains, put a couple of drop of rosemary with a carrier oil and use in a massage. Feeling overworked or generally tired and have no energy? Rosemary can be a pick-me-up either inhaled, diffused or massaged.

www.nourishpublication.com

Gift your friends with small jars of Epsom or sea salts to which you have added Rosemary essential oil. They can carry it with them or keep it at their desk, in their briefcase or by the phone.

They’ll be asking you for more when the smell finally dissipates— although that could take a long time!

If you happen to run out of rosemary leaves for that roast, just put a couple of drops on your hands, rub together and rub all over the meat. For roasted potatoes, a drop can be added to the warm olive oil and garlic mix prior to coating the potatoes. And don’t forget—yams and sweet potatoes taste incredibly good roasted this way as well!

Please be aware that rosemary essential oil should not be used by people who have epilepsy.

Sky a soft blue with strands of ghosting clouds too vaporous for walking on, but in the right light a hang-out for bored spirits.

Roads in a place where winter drives a wedge, pavement full of fissures, leaning towards caverns where front ends can hide.

Song sparrows work on pumping notes, some sweet and others needing work as they prepare for their first date.

A harrier scopes the fields, pauses in mid flight, flapping to stay in place while she looks for movement.

Flash of flicker turns my head, lands below the feeder, probes the ground for seeds or grubs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the latest new arrival to gladden winter weary hearts that want signs of renewal.

Some want to leap ahead, skip a season, plunge into summer.

I prefer a gradual introduction; daily discoveries of new colors, sounds, and shapes as we inch our way into spring

Rune of the Month

Delay, constraints, ill health The rune I drew for May is Naudhiz This is one of the great runes of delay and counsels patience.

You could be experiencing delays, constraints, ill health, etc., but this rune indicates that no matter how tiresome these may be, they will work out in their own time and no amount of manipulation or worry on your part will bring about a faster conclusion.

Naudhiz always shows a time of passing through a difficult learning situation. It is known as "crossing the abyss" and is often a time of extreme emotional upheaval. However, meeting this challenge head on and conquering your fears can be the catalyst needed to propel one to overcome whatever obstacles you encounter later. This is character building in the face of constraint and helps us in evolving both body and spirit.

In the case of a new project, this rune may signify that now is not the right time for such an undertaking, as you may not have the ability or energy at this time to succeed. Depending on the accompanying runes, Naudhiz nearly always implies failure and advises you to wait for now and conserve your energy until a better time.

When the other runes in the cast are health related, it indicates ill health, perhaps even a chronic illness. But when drawn with a strong upright rune such as Kenaz, it shows an alleviation of illness or perhaps even a cure, especially when the accompanying runes are positive.

In matters of love, Naudhiz implies that you are ruled by an emotional need that is not being fulfilled to your satisfaction at this time.

This rune is all about your needs rather than your wants and when it appears in a reading, you should ask yourself if you are distressed over minor inconveniences which you may be selfishly blowing out of proportion, or even if you actually have a problem.

www.nourishpublication.com

When Naudhiz comes up in reverse, you should certainly think twice before doing anything you may have planned. It often shows you are starting off on an improper course of action and warns that if you do not alter that course, you will fail. Do not make hasty judgments or act out of impatience, for at this time it will lead to disaster.

If it is already too late and you are already on the wrong path, this rune's message is to be honest, admit your error, and try to salvage whatever you can from the situation.

If you use the Wyrd rune (blank) and Naudhiz reversed is paired, it indicates a karmic restitution and if paired with Jera, indicates that the law is about to catch up to you.

If you are not honest with yourself and others at this time, and not willing to accept what is your due, you will find that another force outside your control will step in to see you do pay.

When Naudhiz reversed is paired with Hagalaz, that outside force could be "God" or whatever you choose to call it. If paired with Wyrd, it will be the force of Fate. Jera indicates bureaucracy or the justice system.

On another note, I wish to apologize to my readers for not having my other column written. Since finishing the 24 gods and goddesses I have been pondering my next journey. I will be back next month, I promise.

Until then, sk책l my brothers and sisters Phil

This month there was no need to ask what the animal this month was. For ant has been visiting with me for a bit now.

So as ant crawls into the scene this month their message is:

Patience, community and productivity is important now

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are patient waiting for our next opportunity. So we ask you to be like us in this regard and wait patiently for your next opportunities for they will always come. We also ask you not to go it alone that is what family, friends and community are for. They are there to assist you, inspire you and help you. Do not be afraid to ask for help when you need it. The energy of patience and community is helpful and useful in so many far reaching ways.

The energy of productivity is important. You do not have to be go go go all the time to be productive. Sometimes taking small baby steps is all you need. Sometimes giving yourself me time is being productive. So look at how you are being productive within yourself, to others and the community because this to have far reaching results.â&#x20AC;?

Hello Dearest Souls; What is it you seek to hear from us about this month? As we ask you this question we await your answer on the winds.

The answers were varied for many of you have questions. For right now, though the most pressing vibration was the request on how to deal with the feelings of being overwhelmed that many of you are dealing with. Many of you are having various experiences with this right now and many of you are resisting what is and what the energy is communicating to you.

The first thing that is important is to stop resisting what is. Acknowledge what is going on.

To give you an example as WhiteStar Eagle channels our message to you she has come down with bronchitis and is on medication for it while on vacation . She could bemoan this and resist what is. However, she has not resisted what is and instead is going with the flow of it. In accepting what is she is reaping the benefits and is not overwhelmed with wishing it was different and there for is relaxed in what is.

Not resisting what is, no matter what the circumstances allows the energy to flow and the various possibilities to emerge within the energy happening for you in the present moment. It allows the energy to flow there for allowing it to flow where it will. This in turn releases the feeling of being overwhelmed that the resistance has created.

Next listen to the ideas, thoughts and emotions that come up in the flow of nonresistance.

These are guideposts to shift the energy. Again, we are bringing WhiteStar Eagle to mind.

She for about two weeks has been at a standstill in her spiritual work. She has been guided to a more quiet, still point of integration of her previous play and work. She awaits how this new integration will play out and the guidance on how to use the new energy that has come to her and the possibilities it will bring. There was some confusion to the standstill at first, but it was short lived as realization came and understanding. Giving yourself time to be with what is in non-resistance helps you to integrate the new energies coming to you. This in turn helps lower your feelings of being overwhelmed. Do you understand?

Grounding is another important component to navigating the energy shifts right now.

Grounding in the here and now and in what is. For in that grounding clarity and focus will come.

Willingness and surrender to step into a new flow of energy will help. To dip your toe into doing something different than you have always done it before no matter how small. This willingness will open the door to new ways of doing things that will benefit your advancement. As well as minimizing your feelings of being overwhelmed.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know is a wonderful place to be. For in the I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know new ways of being and doing appear that you would have never considered before and that naturally moves you into the flow of where you are meant to be and the endless possibilities of love, joy, trust, adventure and abundance that it will bring.

With love, The Angels Contact Michelle bloghttp://whitestareagle.wordpress.com or email me at empathlove2003@yahoo.ca.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Angels are with us always! Each of us comes into this life with at least one guardian angel. We have the option of calling in any angel when we find ourselves in different situations. Our angels cannot help us, which is their divine mission, unless we ask them to. At the ready, always, they are at our beck and call and no situation or problem is too small to give over to the angels.

This month I want to focus on the Archangels. All of the Archangels names end in “el” meaning “of” or “in” god. The first part of their name gives significance as to the type of work they do. The exception to this “el” rule is Archangels Metatron and Sandalphon.

Sandalphon and Metatron are said to be twins who were mortal men before garnering the status of Archangels.

Archangel Sandalphon walked the earth as the prophet Elijah.

I don’t wish for us to get hung up on the names per say other than to let you know a quick overview of who you can call upon for different situations. Head honcho in my books is Archangel Michael, if you don’t know who to call – call him no matter what the situation is.

Below is a very compressed list, you can research the internet and a whole section of books at your local library or bookstore on angels to get a larger list.

There are many resources available should you wish to research them and gather your own understanding of them.

Archangel Michael - helps us with protection, courage, confidence and safety; life purpose guidance; fixing mechanical and electronic items.

Archangel Uriel – helps us with ideas and inspiration, insights and also intellectual understanding. If you are having trouble understanding a concept, AA Uriel is the one to call. Need help coming up with a new idea or just want some insight into a certain situation, don’t hesitate – call AA Uriel.

Archangel Sandalphon – is an excellent companion to walk with us on our path to ascension. He helps with self-discovery, personal growth and of course ascension, with love, compassion and support.

Archangel Metatron - was the prophet Enoch, and because of this he is the link between the divine and earth. AA Metatron is the keeper of the book of life.

He helps us with clearing out negative or unwanted energy. AA Metatron works with sacred geometric shapes. He is the guide for all humanity so if in doubt as to your next step ask AA Metatron to come and help clear the energy on your path.

Start working with the Archangels if you don’t already. If you do work with them, call on them each day. No question or request for help is too big or small. They are able to assist all who ask and are very glad to do so. All they ask in return is for you to be open to the guidance they send you. A simple thank you shows your gratitude.

If you don’t know which angel to call upon a simple request of “I ask that any and all angels who could assist me now be with me” will suffice.

The blessings of the angels are many and varied. By not being attached to how the help and guidance you receive will look, you begin co-creating with them. Once you start co-creating with the angels the possibilities are endless. Be ready to take your life to the next level of happiness!

Archangel Raphael – helps us with healing. All types of healing. If you are having health issues, this is the archangel to call upon.

Archangel Gabriel – helps us with communication. If you need to speak your truth and are fretting about it, call upon AA Gabriel and she will help you speak gently and with love.

Archangel Chamuel – helps us with finding whatever we seek. Also helps with universal and personal peace. www.nourishpublication.com

Message from the Angels

MAY 2014 Hello Beautiful Earth Angels,

Connect with us, right now, and tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. In fact, we want you to connect with us every day until this earth year is complete. The energies that are going on right now are only going to intensify. Adjusting to them has gone well for some of you, and still others are feeling like they have been put to sea without so much as a sextant or oars. You would be correct! It is not to test you, or to have you struggle for our amusement. It is for your own growth, and the growth of humanity.

For you see, some are on this journey consciously and others are just being pulled along. Some kicking and screaming but we are all in this together. Or at least you are all in it together. We are here to help guide you and support you. You need to connect with us so that we may do so.

Part of this growth process is trust. You need to trust your instincts and intuitions. Trusting seems to take great courage on your part.

It need not. Now is the time to trust what www.nourishpublication.com

you know, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully understand or comprehend how you know, just trust that you know. Doubt has no place here and will only slow you down. There is no time to stop and analyze every step of the way. Everything is happening quickly and you need to be present in each moment. Trust that you are making the correct decisions and choices.

Separation needs to become a thing of the past. You all need each other. Support not competition. Understanding not intolerance.

There will be more bad days than good, there will be days when all you want to do is stay hunkered down under the covers. Yet you must carry on. Have faith that a better tomorrow is being birthed into existence. Separation is US against THEM, and really dear ones, there is no us or them, at some point you were all them and then one day you realized that it did not fit and you started a search to find what did fit. As this birthing moves forward, more and more will be seeking a better fit. Tolerance is key. If you are tolerant now, even when what others are doing is fighting against every fiber of your be62

ing, and you want to lash out or give them a good shake (as if that will awaken them) you must serve grace and compassion. State your beliefs gently and own them, and don’t be afraid if they change tomorrow and you are swinging a different gate open. For even as advanced as you think you are … you are considered a “them” to someone. By staying open, and coming from a place of grace, you will be a leader and when the time is right you will be asked to help show the way.

It is about co-creating, by each person understanding that you are all ONE, in essence, if not in personalities and physical traits. The earth is your home, each of you can lay claim to it, and just like inviting friends in to share a meal, you are being asked to share your home with all the other inhabitants. You already share so much more than the planet. You share a love of life, your life, each of you values your life, your ideals, your family, your friends and your belongings. See, not so separate after all, for each person reading this has those same unique values and this is what will drive each of you to birth this new existence. Each of you will do it separately as ONE. Do you understand? Being ONE means you work together as family, because you are one big family essentially, yet you each do your own work to contribute to the family. You each have unique interests, dreams, hobbies and desires, the biggest ones being – peace –equality – harmony. Working and achieving peace, harmony, love and to a degree equality in your life supports the whole family in achieving peace, love and joy.

The path to a better future can be fun and exciting, the choice is yours, and will take trust on your part. Do you have the courage to trust that you know what you need to know in each moment without doubting or second guessing? Call upon us to assist you, we are ready, waiting and we might just surprise you with the gifts and blessings we bring to your door.
