Dec 2021 - Numerology, Reflections of the Year, Preparing for 2022

 As we enter the final month of 2021, it is a wonderful time to reflect on the happenings of the year.  Some of the things that I like to do is refer to my journal entries from early in the year, my list of goals and resolutions, and even my appointment calendar entries.  What was my mindset in the early months of the year? What were my goals?  What were my concerns at the time?  How have I changed and where is there still room for improvement?

Take a moment to celebrate those goals that were reached. Reflect on the goals that were not and consider if they are even still valid to where you want to go and who you are becoming.  Often we make choices that we outgrow, and rather than beating yourself up for not attaining those goals, take a moment to celebrate your growth and how you may have to switch gears and direction.

For those of you that follow my Numerology report, 2021 was a Universal Year of 5.  The number 5 is about TRANSFORMATION, the chaos and drama that is often required to bring about dynamic change, and it is also deeply embedded in travel and interpersonal relationships.  Where traveling in the physical may have been too challenging this year, if not totally impossible, traveling on the internet or even on the astral plane has been ramped up for sure!  Watching countries like Africa make huge stands against the global powers suppressing us all, and the massive horror of Australia and New Zealand, and the rising up of people in Europe where arresting policemen joined the revolutionary protests, just to name a few.  It has been a very challenging year for those that have not branched out to understand more of what happening across the globe, fear and isolation is not what the 5 year is about.  When we operate against or oppose the Universal energies we are met with much resistance, anger, and increased frustration.

As we wind down this year of great change, remember that Our Creator, Source Energy, God, and/or Universal Law is in charge and will promise a balance of energies as we move into the coming year.

Please be aware that on Dec 4th we have a powerful New Moon with a Solar Eclipse visible in Australia.  I encourage you to spend time on this day in particular reflecting, meditating, and releasing whatever is left that will not serve you going into 2022.  Toxic relationships, Toxic habits, fear, anger, resentments, etc.  Make amends, complete unfinished tasks, clear your karma, and cleanse your body, aura and energy field in preparation to make room for calling in your heart's desire and your soul's purpose with the Full Moon on Dec 18th, the Winter Soltice on Dec 21 and the New Year transition on Dec 31.

2022 has great power in its numbers.  The triple 2s hold a special meaning and the Universal Year of 6, aligns energies in a positive and exciting way.  I will go into this deeper in next month's newsletter, but know that "the best is yet to come".  Remember to take advantage of my 2022 Reading Special that expires on Dec 31st for a $20 discount off of a one hour reading. Find out what is in store for your soul in the coming year and how to best prepare to make the most of the new year.

What you Focus on Expands

What you Focus on Expands, what you obsess over Destroys.

This has been a hard lesson for this little Spirit to learn.  Discerning between pinpointed Focus and the Attachment of Obsession can be difficult when caught up in the moment.  The element of Need occurs when Attachment is in play.  The Need, implies that you are lacking something, which sends mixed messages to the Universe when you are in process of manifesting abundance.  If the Attachment grows and the Need takes over, that is when Obsession occurs.

For Example:
When one is focussing on Love in a healthy manifesting way, one is focussing on ALL THINGS in the NOW that trigger the Love sensation.  When this practice manifests the desired Love Mate, then we must take care in not transferring all of our Love attention onto the new Love Mate, neglecting all other things in that Now that created the space for the Love Mate to occur. 

When all pinpointed focus becomes centered on one thing, for instance, the new Love Mate, we fall spiralling into Attachment, false beliefs of Need and consequently into Obsession.  This cycle will not only destroy the health and well-being of the Love Sensation within your soul that you created by focussing on the Love of all things in the Now, but in turn will also destroy the health and well-being of the Love sensation between you and the object of Need or Obsession, the Love Mate.  The beautiful, pure, Divine Love sensation that occurred between the two of you in the beginnings of the relationship then turns obsessive, fearful, jealous and toxic.  Phew. 

So then the trick to a healthy, Divine Love relationship is to continue to appreciate and Love all things in the Now, adding in that special Love Mate.  If you've been through this cycle in some way and I'm sure you can relate.

In this moment I am extending gratitude to the Lost Love Mate, for teaching me this difficult lesson.

Here's to manifesting Love in your life.  And if you are truly blessed, you may encounter your Twin Flame.
I send you blessings of loving, pearly pink light to give you a Boost of Love as you continue on your journey.

Blessings.

ACCEPTANCE vs ACCEPTABLE

Gratitude and Acceptance are key.  You will hear these words in many forms by a majority of Spiritual  Gurus out there.  However, Gratitude and Acceptance of a horrible circumstances can be a real challenge, so what is this all about and how do you make this valuable manifesting principle work within the confines of your life.

As I pondered this principle this morning, considering my own challenging circumstances what occured to me is there is a clarification necessary. 

ACCEPTANCE of your current circumstances is NOT a proclamation that they are ACCEPTABLE.

The purpose behind the principle of Acceptance is to get us out of NO, to get us out of the negative thoughts that go along with complaining internally about this current circumstance so that we can make the necessary adjustments with high vibrational energy and manifestation tools to make changes to our circumstances.  However, accepting our Day as it is Today, does NOT mean you have to allow that to be your ACCEPTABLE tomorrow.  Make your proclamation to the Universe, "I Accept that this is the challenge that I face today and I am DETERMINED to do whatever it takes to make my Tomorrow more acceptable to me." 

Gratitude for a challenge that has you completely bogged down is somehow a more challenging scenario, however having the vibrational energy levels of Gratitude coursing through your energy field and your day, is paramount to manifesting that "Acceptable Tomorrow".  Search for things in your day to be grateful for, no matter how small.  Repeat your gratitude list throughout your day and focus your mind on visualizing whatever it is that will make your Tomorrow more Acceptable than your Today.

The Way of the Jedi

I took my son to see STAR WARS - The Phantom Menace today. I am continually amazed by the powerful insight of this series in regard to energy and the unseen workings of the Universe. 

There are so many subtle reminders in the STAR WARS series, my favorite is Yoda's famous quote in the original Star Wars which I will paraphrase as-- Do, or do not. There is no Try.

However, what struck me today as so important was when Obi Wan's Jedi mentor is speaking to a 6 year old Anakin Skywalker.  He says to the child, that to become a Jedi will not be easy.  The training will be difficult and rigrous.  However the determined young Skywalker is unwavering in his desire to be a Jedi. 

If you are reading this Blog, you are on your own path of a Jedi. Many will fall away and not reach the goal. They give up and blend in with the flock and melt into mediocrity. The way of the Jedi, to tap into the Universe, to raise your energy levels well above the average, to rise above the crowd to greatness, will take unstoppable determination, powerful conviction and blinded focus. 

Stay on the path young Jedi. If you are here, you have been chosen to rise above the flock. The Universe needs you. Your purpose is greater than anything you have thus far dreamed of. You are being called on a quest.

The Power of Determination

This morning I watched a Youtube video filmed by a friend at a business convention. The video was of the keynote speaker who was Chris Gardner, the subject of the true life film starring Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness.  Mr. Gardner told his story about living homeless as the single father of a 14 mo old son who he refuses to abandon despite his hardships.  He spoke of fighting his way through a rigorous stockbrokering program sleeping with his baby in the safest places he could find, with not enough money to get by or even consistently eat.  He seemingly waded through hardship after hardship like a man trudging through waist high mud, and through the heart-wrenching story I heard him say ONE WORD, over and over in his speech. DETERMINED.

He was determined that his son grow up with a loving and present father.  He was determined against all odds to get into the stockbrokering program for which he was technically not qualified.  He was determined to get through each day, each night, with stroller, baby, pampers and duffle bag of clothes.  He was determined to get beyond this challenge.  He was determined to be successful. How long could you go on like that before giving up?  I had to ponder this question.  At every curveball, at every brick wall and obstacle, he was determined. In manifesting our heart's desires, we talk about not allowing doubt to enter your desire.  However, it occurs to me that even more powerful is focussed, pinpointed determination.

As I ponder this conclusion, I have to ask myself two questions.

1. What am I DETERMINED to be or do?

2. What is my LEVEL of determination?

The answers to these questions will DETERMINE your level of success. 

Just last year I was determined to go on an overseas trip.  I hadn't traveled in years, money was painfully scarce, and timing would be precarious with work, someone to watch the kids, etc. However, it was my deepest heart's desire to go.  I pushed aside all thoughts of NO, and became determined that the only acceptable answer was YES.

My level of determination was so powerful that money and timing manifested effortlessly. 

Even as I write this Blog, I realize that I must search for a new target to engulf in the fires of a deep, unwavering determination.  Such is the way of living a life of PASSION.
So I ask you...
What are you DETERMINED to be or do?

The Power of YES

I clearly remember watching Jim Carey's YES MAN movie years ago.  The basic premise of  which, is that Jim's character starts saying YES to everything and under hilarious circumstances his life becomes AMAZING. Well, curiously enough, it is yet another example of art imitating life! However, it wasn't until recently that I realized the truth in THE POWER OF YES.  I was learning an intuitive technique taught by Christie Marie Sheldon in her Love or Above Energy Toolkit Series in which she trains you to identify your own body's YES or NO response to any stated question.

Christie Marie Sheldon works with vibrational energy levels.  The theory in MANIFESTING being that the better you feel (the higher your vibrational energy) the more effortless your life, your relationships, and your manifestations. Well, in very basic terms, YES, is a high vibrational statement. NO, is not. 

Say YES! out loud. Seriously, try it right now.  Try to be in a bad mood and say YES, YES, YES!  ----- You can't do it! *giggle* it makes me feel good to type it even! Haha! 

Now say NO, NO, NO! It's heavy, right? Now don't cheat and do a cutesy 'no' that really MEANS 'yes'. Do a real "don't do that" kind of NO.  Say real NO and then try to feel good.  You can't! 

The next day, after discovering this, my phone rang with a number I did not recognize. Being in sales, the phone ringing was a possible prospect looking for my service.  However, I looked at my phone and my brain said, "Ugh, a phone call." In that moment, I realized I had just said NO to a call that could have been the Universe sending me a client! Was I crazy?!

How often had I unconsciously said NO to opportunity?! My mind opened up! 

I began practicing saying YES to opportunities and my business went from having to work really hard for every penny, to almost effortless.

Now, during this time I was also going through that heartwrenching breakup.  I realized after months of agonizing pain, that the worst of it was that it was all my fault.  I had started saying NO. No, I will not accept that we can't be together. No, I won't give in to obvious unfortunate circumstance. No, I won't give up on the fairytale dream. No, I can't just "be friends". No, I can't let you go. No, this is not fair. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!  And my No's destroyed what should have remained a loving and tender friendship.  When I stopped living in gratitude for our special connection and started living in No for not getting it my way, the beauty of it all crumbled before my eyes. And in the end, I suffered for declaring NO.

Right after that revelation I connected this simple theory to another life milestone.  My girlfriend had lost her mother this past year. Now Mom told her kids that she had a full and wonderful life and not to grieve, but we are human and we must process the loss.  While my friend was handling the loss in a healthy manner, it still kept me pondering.  I realized that some people I have known have processed their grief better or more smoothly than others.  What was the difference? Yes and No.

Are you saying,  I miss Mom but Yes, she had a great life
Or I miss Mom and No, I will not accept the loss. 

As you focus on the NO- type statements you expand NO into all facets of your life.  The more intense your grief, the more intense the NO, the more intensely you energize NO throughout your life.  Your job, friendships, love partner, kids, etc all become infected with the NO.

Certainly, as I said, the grieving process is essential to human existence.   However, maintaining the awareness of the affect on the other facets of your life is mind-opening. 

I challenge you to a powerful exercise that continues to empower my life and enrich my soul.  For seven days, repeat this mantra over and over and over, when you wake, in the bathroom, waiting on line, on the treadmill, whenever you leave your mind to its own thoughts squelched it with this mantra...

I am so grateful and thankful. YES, YES, YES.

You can fill in the "what you are grateful for" if you choose to add extra power to the mantra. Don't worry too much if you can't muster FEELING grateful in the statement, just focus on your YESs.  The feeling of gratitude will come.  I have used this mantra while feeling like cr*p with tears pouring down my face.  I muscled through it and came out victorious after a couple of determined and consistent days.
And remember, the more you say YES to the Universe, the more the Universe says YES right back to you.
Please try this exercise and come back and comment on your experience.

Why Can't I Manifest?

I hear many people asking, "Why Can't I Manifest?" 

Obstacles are part of the process.  Some people just can't seem to get off of the ground with manifesting.  Others have no trouble getting started in manifesting, however, at some point they do hit obstacles. 

Firstly, as we are learning new tools and exercises, we need to remember to be gentle with ourselves.  You are learning, what I hope for you to be a life-long process, so you don't need to get it all right, right now.  In fact, in the early stages I have found that DOING IT is far more important that doing it PERFECTLY.  These practices are constantly evolving.  Eventually you will find the practices that work best for you and maybe even develop some tools of your own.

The most important thing to understand when starting on a journey of Manifestation and Spiritual Health is that you need to clear out the old negative toxins to create a space for the new stuff coming in.  This is a common practice in Feng Shui.  Decluttering is essential, to raise the positive energy of a space.  You also need to REMOVE the negative energy items to make space for higher vibrational items to come in.  In fact, it is commonly suggested that if you are single and trying to bring love into your life, leave open space in your bedroom closet and empty dresser drawers for your new love to move in.  In working with our emotional or self-image baggage there are many examples and I will cite two of my favorites. 

In Julia Cameron's book, THE ARTISTS WAY, she talks about identifying your "Inner Critic" and reprogramming that chatter with new positive thoughts.  My experience in those early days was that the negative self chatter was so bonded and ingrained in me that I didn't even recognize it or identify it.  It took a lot of journaling and paying attention for me to identify what my "Inner Critic" was whispering into my ear keeping me from love and success. 

In the famous PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS by Dr. Maxwell Maltz, he talks about working with people on their Self-Image reprogramming.  One story is of a man who's image of himself was so repulsive and unworthy due to the size of his ears and nose.  Dr. Maltz explains that this man's self image was so distorted from what was real that the man was seeking unnecessary plastic surgery when all he needed was to "see" himself as others truly saw him.  So take a moment today, to journal, to meditate and explore your own self-image.  What is your Inner Critic telling you?  What is your big ugly nose?  What inside of you has kept you from your Heart's Desire?  Be courageous in your honesty! You can't reverse it, if you haven't identified it in the first place.

Once you have identified the negative self image beliefs that are sabotaging your success and relationships, you need to iradicate them and replace them with a more desirable belief.  Easier said than done!  Finding the source of the negative belief and then disqualifying the negative belief, are major keys to successfully squelching these beliefs... and well worth the extra effort. 

For example, if you discover (which is common) that you have negative feelings about people that are wealthy and that is keeping you from amassing your own wealth.  First identify where this idea came from.  Did you have a parent who complained about the rich? Did someone who was wealthy bring harm?  Does it truely make sense to your logical mind to lump all people with money in this category?  Can you find people of wealth using their money and influence to help the less fortunate or impact the world in a positive way?

Cut out pictures of people that you would like to emulate and really "get to know them".  Hold conversations with them in your mind to let THEIR success and THEIR belief systems guide you.

In elevating your energy levels and getting into a space where you effortlessly manifest your Heart's Desires, you will ALWAYS hit obstacles along the way.  If you did not have obstacles within your energy field, or soul, or pyche, you would not be seeking these tools in the first place! :) You would be at the level of Jesus, Buddah, or any other likeness of Spiritual perfection and you would be teaching ME! :)

I myself have gone through periods where a new layer peels away and I am raw, emotional and vulnerable.  I can be filled with great sorrow, sobbing while old, unidentified wounds are released.  This can also come up as extreme anger.  Recognizing this as part of the process, allowing yourself to work through it and stay in gratitude works wonders.  During one recent bout with deep, painful sorrow, I held onto the mantra, "I am so grateful and thankful that my heart is opening and healing." My heart was in unbearable pain.  I was crying all of the time.  But I stuck to that mantra, walking and breathing.  I became afraid that I would need Prozac, but I stuck with my mantra, walking and breathing and I did get to the other side of the pain.  Once the emotions worked their way through, I had a new freedom that I had not experienced before.

Keep in your awareness that as you remove Layers of the Onion of your Humanness, you will inevitably uncover negative emotions or responses or even self-sabotaging fears.  Be gentle with yourself as you work through these.  The obstacles you uncover as you dig deeper and deeper into your soul, may even be toxic baggage from existences that you no longer hold in your current awareness.  Sometimes, there are even instances where an individual attains a level of success, love, and relationships that they always dreamed of only to hit some jarring obstacles of self sabotage and destroy it all.  Fear not, if you build it up once, you can do it again!

Keep at it! Trust that the Divine is walking with you the whole way and don't be afraid to ask your Guides and Angels to fill you with Love and Light.  They are always there for you!  However, you do NEED to ask.
