The Light Within the Darkness of the Eclipse

I am basking in the wonder from the total solar eclipse here in Maine. I keep replaying the moments of darkness in my mind, and the pure emotion I felt of such gratitude and awe of the magic the sun and moon displayed for us. I am still processing it all, but I will share a picture here for those of you who may have not witnessed this spectacle. The energies are still here for us to integrate... whether we saw it with our eyes our not. 

I feel that the energies of the solar eclipse and all around us in general are helping us to open our third eye - to begin tapping into unseen, Divine forces, like the celestial elements, here to guide us. (Did you know all that seven planets were visible in the sky, in alignment with the Sun, on April 8?) 

Some of the ancient peoples living on Earth years ago similarly were frightened of and confused by this darkness, and would avoid going outside during solar eclipses.

And yet now, we have learned so much more about what is happening. We now know the darkness is temporary. 

Maybe this can apply to our own lives. What if by acknowledging the shadows we can actually bring in more light?

So many of us have been in the darkness in our lives for many years. Many of us were taught to fear God due to religious programming.

And this fear led us to block out the Divine light of our own Higher Selves trying to guide us along.

This has led to a feeling of being lost and "off the path" for so many in our modern society, unsure of what our purpose is or what will bring fulfillment or meaning in our lives.

I hear this from so many clients seeking support to reconnect with their souls. And time and time again, I recommend a few things to them that I will also suggest to you here.

Begin by quieting your minds and clearing away the protective shadows of Ego (after acknowledging and processing) to allow your third eye to open even more. Then, by intentionally connecting with loving forms of Spirit, you can activate you intuitive knowing to help guide you forward in your life.

And yet, if this were all so simple, why aren't we all waking up each day with a knowing of what our deepest soul purpose is, and how to take the steps to actualize it?

It's also because there's often fear. And this fear comes from pre-conceptions, stories or myths that we have heard about what it means to develop psychic ability, or intuition. 

When we take the time to really examine these false stories, we can begin to move past them and into taking brave steps forward to listen to our Higher Selves, and to our angels, spirit guides and even multi-dimensional beings (like Pleaidians or Arcturians) who are here to help us in our lives. These loving friends are all connected to the Creator/Source/God.

It's a beautiful process that takes time, but I have seen it happen and produce a wonderful new way of living in alignment with flow, peace and trust for lots of people I've worked with! 

And in the meantime, I hope that today, wherever you are, you give yourself some time after the eclipse to pause, integrate and allow the darkness to guide you toward the light.

Robins Eggs and Throat Chakra Healing


We have been noticing a lot of animals in our lives recently – great blue herons in front of our family island spot, a porcupine nonchalantly hanging out in our backyard munching on clovers the other day, baby mice cozied up next to their mama, and a few weeks ago my son even spotted a black bear early in the morning in our side yard.
 
But the robin’s egg stood out to me especially.

I knew that the robin had a message for me. (Many other robins hang out with us, one had even been crashing repeatedly into our windows repeatedly earlier this spring  - we went through multiple "window bird reflector" solutions).
 
The animal totem of the Robin is about new beginnings and growth. Its call is cheery, like a bright, beautiful song. The egg is a gorgeous blueberry blue color, similar to the throat chakra.
 
As I meditated upon what I was experiencing in my life and what the robin might be trying to share with me, I realized that it was sharing something about the power of my voice.

Holding the Light in 2023

These children, like little Jedi Padawans, are receiving training to fully embody their missions as light-workers here on Earth.

For us Indigo light warrior adults, we didn't learn this stuff until we were adults. I had no idea what Reiki even was until I was in my 20s. These children now have an incredible preparation to carry them forward into the future, for the healing that they will be doing to hold the vibration of light in the New Earth. 

This gives me an immense amount of hope.

When we look around us and see so much chaos, division, anger, sadness, confusion and struggle, it can lead us to thoughts of despair.

But when we acknowledge how far we have come as a human race, and that young children are learning how to channel light as awakened starseeds walking the Earth, we remember.

We remember that this has been prophesied, and that these little ones are here to help us all move into the age of unity, peace, understanding, love, healing and joy.

In the meantime, we adults have another job - to clear all our s$%# that has been blocking us from also embodying that light.

We have to face up to our fears, remove old patterns, connect with our wounded Inner Child, forgive ourselves, learn from mistakes and take personal responsibility for our self-actualization as we step into unconditional love for ourselves and for others. 

Just a few things.
