Raise Your Spiritual Vibration - Health & Healing

I mentioned on one of my other blogs how I recently came across an article written by someone who was supposedly in the know about all things frequency and cellular vibration. I was curious and read the article over looking for something I might have missed in my own life....

This person gave some advice on how to get started on raising your vibration upwards into a spiritual sphere. At least that is what I assume it meant, because this aspect of higher consciousness wasn’t particularly discussed in any detail.

They did go into specifics about how to focus your mind on only the positive aspects of your life. To shut out all negative thoughts and to practice random acts of kindness as well as to stay healthy and ‘eat right’.

If any of the above things were clear – they would most likely be a great idea. However the vague assumption that anyone might know how to shut out negative thoughts (I wouldn’t ask anyone to close any part of their mind off) or what ‘eating right’ actually means on the spiritual path – might be a stretch.

When perfectly clear – of what to do, how to do and why we must do something – kindness is something that begins with ourselves. If we cannot be kind to our own personal beings – we are not spreading a warm and fuzzy energy around the world either.

Still, each of these things are good and will enable you to feel better about the world around you as well as yourself (during some part of the day at least) when taken seriously enough and when practiced often enough.

However, raising your vibration is NOT an isolated spiritual event that can be obtained through ‘thought’ alone. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible (not to mention false) to go through life in a positive bubble - what do you do with the negative stuff/patterns/habits/fears if not dealt with?

Anything worthwhile begins with a desire or a wish to create it...however, then every step must be taken to bring that dream into a solid or multi-dimensional reality. 

Therefore, I might even be tempted to state – Increased cellular vibration cannot take place through any use of your thoughts – at least not in a permanent structural way necessary to maintain that particular frequency for any period of time.

A vibrational shift must take place on each and every level of our humanity (body, mind and spirit) – this will not necessarily take place all at the same time – however, it starts and ends with the physical body. 

You know – the flesh and blood we live in that’s supposed to be our temple (and to be treated as such).

This body is our home, our house and the place of residence for our minds and souls. It’s the place where it all happens – a vibrational shift or rise in cellular frequency takes place at the level of the tissues then moves out into the energy field (which must also be replenished, repaired and healed just like any other part of us).

You cannot do any of this work – or indeed even walk a spiritual path on this planet without wholesome living food, clean chemical free water, healing herbs as medicine and exercise.

These things are not optional.

Activation of the DNA? Pineal Gland Adjustments? Initiation into what was that…?– Be Careful Out There

Something has taken over – diverted our attention away from what is important and real in life. Just observing all that has gone on these last weeks with the pomp and ceremony of a group of people who do not contribute all that much (read AT ALL) to our spiritual consciousness….

People appear to have such short memories – so many have died, been hurt, abused, destroyed on every level for centuries – yet this was all swept away, omitted and otherwise not brought up - for the sake of …. What?

A few carefully chosen words, clever marketing (very clever) and something else – taking place behind the scenes – initiation into the upper levels of power, along with the others in the ‘know’.

Quite something to see, eh? An elevation, shift, a change and a handing over of power is taking place in the world.

So, when you are invited to come and participate in some of these courses, talks, workshops and ceremonies that use words such as those above to describe the expected activities --- it has you intrigued right?

And of course, once your attention is absorbed, well, then these words can then take on an almost mystical quality. Surely the words alone will somehow magic you into a new sphere of consciousness and then your life will change into all that you have ever dreamed of….

I digress here. I don’t know if your life will change or not. Perhaps, it was on the edge of something new anyway (aren’t we all on the edge these days?) and an activation, initiation, or adjustment may or may not have had any affect.

However, after years and years (I won’t tell you how many) of being in this field, in one way or another, there is one thing I have learned worth repeating to whomever will listen;

If someone is offering to adjust you or your body’s internal workings, to activate you or initiate you into anything to do with your own personal higher levels of consciousness – walk away (or run).

What is more….if anyone is offering, mentioning, itching to get their hands on your DNA (and I know they are, because this has been such a buzz phrase for a while) – do not under any circumstances allow the cells in your body to be hacked into.

By Anyone. Ever.

If you want to be adjusted, altered, shifted, changed, initiated, healed and otherwise moved onto higher ground – well, this is a condition of higher consciousness and takes place from the inside of our bodies, working it’s way out.

These are pure spiritual experiences, which are brought about through our own seeking, exercise, diet changes, detox, cleansing, clean water, life force enhancing herbs, nature Herself and spiritual pursuits.

Your body is more than capable of accomplishing each of these energetic shifts all on it’s own – without any outside interference from anyone. In actual fact, to have anyone else involved in your spiritual experience, would be like taking on an energetic imprint from them.

Or, wearing another energy field, that doesn’t belong to you, it won’t fit and it will pull you down.

Remove the Body Blocks....and You Will Move Too

This is one area I have a lot of experience in - mostly because I have spent the better part of my life working on energy blocks, resistance, inflammation, deep emotional patterns and what not - all of which are related to some kind of body block.

One of the reasons I wanted to bring this subject up is because I encounter so many people who have one situation, pattern, spiritual matter, health issue or emotional problem to sort out - however they treat it as separate from the rest of their lives and bodies.

If you are working on something (anything) no matter if it's physical, emotional, energetic, spiritual - each area relates back to each other. But what is more important, when there is a block (or issue) in one area, there is equally a corresponding block in these other parts of you.

You (and not one of us here on this planet) do not exist as a separate entity - you are not only connected to the whole (entire Universe or Oneness), but all of this also resides inside of you. When there is a block - this could be a physical problem such as a pain in a muscle but it will also be a region of stagnant energy, spiritual detachment and emotional patterns.

How this manifests in your life is by never getting where you want to be. Always working for someone else and dreaming of doing, being, creating something different for yourself and your family -- however, it just never seems to take root.

Or perhaps it does take root, then it doesn't grow or someone else steps in and takes it over. Does any of this sound familiar? It's like the air plane I wrote about a couple days ago, circling in a holding pattern, but never landing.

If we can't land, we can't go home.

So, what to do about any of this and get your life going forwards again - for me, it all began with changing my diet and lifestyle, but the real change - the deep energy shifts and healing I was seeking in my world - that came about with detoxing.

Don't you think it's time you got your life back?

You Can't Get There From Here....

'You Can't Get There From Here' is the title of my book about the place I was in, where I came from and how much I had to change in order to get onto the road I wanted to be on. I used those specific words in the title because that is exactly how I felt and saw it at the time - the way I was living, the people around me, the food I was eating and each of the things that I was not doing that I 'knew' I should have been doing - made sure that I was going no where.

Where ever I was, that place I was in, there was no way on earth I was going to grow, learn, develop or deepen my experience here on this journey if I kept going around in the same circles. I simply could not get to where I wanted to go from there. 

There were changes that I had to make.

Every day I meet people who are frustrated, tired, sick and tired of being sick and tired. Yet, when we talk about making some basic changes or looking at things a little differently one of the immediate responses is 'I can't do that' or 'I don't know if I want to make that much of a difference in my life'.

Usually by this time I am already thinking - well, through living, eating and drinking poorly, being around negative people and situations, having chronic stress and so forth - this is how you have become sick and tired and frustrated with your life. 

If you really want to stay there, great, carry on, because that is where you are going to remain. However, some simple changes to how you approach food, water and exercise can make such a difference to how you feel and ultimately live. 

Each one of us has a choice, we have destiny and a purpose in this place, but, when you are sick, tired and unfit there is no way that you are living your potential. If you are still drinking and eating rubbish, thinking that you can lead a spiritual existence and do as you please - you cannot get to where you want to go from such a place.

Your body is an energetic vessel with dimensions that co-exist in time and space. You must clean up your vehicle or you risk becoming just another piece of space junk floating around out there, with no purpose and on no particular path.

All it takes is one step forward to find the road....

Have a nice day,

A Place to Start

I remember the days when I desperately wanted to make some changes in my life and I would try to do something and at times even succeed in my attempts. But to be honest, I was so confused about who I was, where I was going and what I really wanted (mostly because I was so toxic) that I never knew where to start.

And this starting point was confusing me even more! Perhaps it is only me who feels this way, but my guess is that there are at least a few others out there who are finding themselves at a stand still in life, diet, exercise, business, work and relationships with not knowing how or where to start making changes in their lives.

This is a point that held me up for far too long and in some ways still does with other things I would like to do and accomplish with my time. Just where is the best place to start and how do we go about that?

One approach that has worked for me in the past is to go about making changes the way I would write a paper for school for instance. I would start out by writing down some main ideas around my theme and from there work these ideas into larger paragraphs which ultimately would become the essay. In this way, you could begin with some smaller point, make some changes and work your way up to bigger transformation related to the minor one. 

Another approach that I often use is to say these words to myself- 'start where you are at, with what you have got'. Because let's face it, in the beginning we are not going to have all of the tools, materials, ingredients etc. that we would like to have to accomplish our goals.

The next step is to make it perfectly clear the area or thing or issue you would like to change and create in your life so that you are certain of the changes you need to make in order to achieve these goals.  And to be perfectly straight with you here - this is where we must keep it simple. 

When we allow something, especially fundamental life adjustments such as with diet and exercise to become complicated we are not going to follow through with it or even stick with a different protocol for very long.

Keeping it simple does not mean that your life will not change in a dramatic way however, it only means that you are approaching each area in the most straightforward manner possible. Simple changes will have dramatic results.

Going back quite a few years now, I remember my first thoughts around these changes that I knew I had to make - and the only thing that was absolutely clear to me at that time and even now, is that I was the one who had to change. I could not change others, I could not take on that responsibility besides, this was my life and my focus needed to be on myself.

So start where you are at (home, work?) with what you have got (15 minutes break, two good legs) and get outside for a quick walk - open your mind to the possibilities! Then take it from there.

Have a great day,

What I love About Eating Well...

For the most part this is an easy way to eat and live, I mean you have to go out of your way to specifically eat unhealthy. Yes, I know processed food is everywhere and it is so relatively easy to pick up rubbish at the shops. 

But, what if you were to not go to the shops all that often? What if the majority of your food came from the farmers market, your garden and the local fish monger, cheese person and butcher? There is no rubbish in either of these places. 

What has happened to us is that we are sucked into these Big Food stores and then enticed into purchasing nonsense foods that are not even part of a food group let alone contain anything nourishing for the body.

When you stay out of these places more or less (unless there is something you really need) then you can avoid all the temptation until this processed junk, rubbish and prepared foods are no longer even on the radar for you. 

Once your body gets used to eating better it will ask for and expect better. Think about it - this is your temple for life, it holds mind and soul together for as long as you are here. It's best to start taking that seriously and start eating well. 

What I love about eating well is that my body speaks to me, there is not one illness or disease that I fear and my body functions/systems work well inside and out. But I also love the fact that I am a positive example for my children - teaching them the way to look after themselves and to trust in their bodies and health. Feeding yourself well is a skill - it is not taught anywhere.

If only I had known then what I do now - it would have saved me a lot of grief, however, live and learn!

Have a great day,

April

Be Yourself

What on earth could possibly come out of consistently not being ourselves - living a life not feeling normal or even knowing who we really are? Might this cause confusion, fear and lack in our lives? And who are we anyway, would anyone out there really know for certain who they are, what they are doing here and what is more important be actually living that life fully?

Besides Madonna? 

For the rest of us, we struggle with identity - somewhere along the lines of humanity we have all become mixed and mingled with beliefs about our bodies, minds and spirits that simply do not apply to us. One of these is the 'I can eat what I want and celebrate life each and every day, so there' way of looking at life.

Just yesterday I was speaking with someone who was relating to me how her friend was pushing her into eating more or less like everyone else. With the basic argument of why be different, you are restricting yourself, there is no joy in that food - here, have some rubbish and feel like I do. 

It turns out that this person was on the one hand telling her that he could eat rubbish each day and still be strong and healthy. Yet as we talked about how this pressure was affecting her, she conceded that he was so fearful of getting cancer and dying from heart disease like his father that he was driving himself into it. 

So much for being free to eat as you wish. If you eat the foods that are pushed onto you by the Big Supermarket chains, you are not eating as you wish - you are eating what they tell you to eat, fulfilling their mandates, consuming foods put there that will keep you addicted, enslaved and conforming to whatever the agenda might be. 

So, what has this got to do with being who we are and finding our identity? Everything! When you eat as you were meant to - for health, healing, growth, repair and enjoyment - your body finds its true expression because all physical, mental, emotional systems normalize. Keep eating this way and you will eventually find yourself buried under all of that mess and emerge like a phoenix from the ashes of detox. 

Why not start today?

Summer Solstice

Today is the longest day of the year, mid summer, the summer solstice and a new moon - quite a powerful line-up as usual for this season. Traditionally fires would be lit, parties and festivals (in Scandinavia they still celebrate with a national holiday) held and general festivities all around. Being in touch with the changing seasons is actually quite important and unfortunately nearly forgotten.

The inside of your body, especially the gut and digestive tract undergoes similar or the same yearly alterations as the seasons move on. It can grow thinner during the fall and winter and thicker with higher levels of organisms during spring and summer. All of nature is and should be reflected back from the inside out.

When this is not the case, we run into a host of problems not only with our digestion, but with health and life overall. To lose touch with nature and her wonders is to distance ourselves from our essence and indeed does lead to illness and depression.

There are many ways to take steps towards getting back in touch with your body, mind and spirit - some of the most basic ones being removing sugar, alcohol, caffeine and other drugs that over stimulate the adrenal glands and deplete the body's nutrient resources. Other ways might be to get outside and walk with purpose - listen, smell, watch and allow nature to surround your senses taking her into you. 

You are not the separate being that you feel to be - you are one with the earth. Isn't it time to get back into your wonderful body, find yourself and take back your inner wisdom and power?

Yesterday in the herb garden my daughter was giving me a lesson on talking to the plants - she  informed me that if I wanted to talk to them, I had to lean over, close my eyes and listen. It was that simple. 

And all of life is that simple. Happy Mid Summer!

Moving On...

We are only 1 day and half off of our Master Cleanse and already we have moved on - the transition was much faster this time round perhaps because it is summer and the weather is a little warmer. Or maybe it helps that we are busy in the garden and not really giving it much thought otherwise!

It also makes a huge difference that we have our upcoming feast to plan for Mid Summer and much to look forward to in the next week or so. For each of us, the MC meant something different as we go through the days and stages of the detox in various ways, however, the final outcome was the same - improved energy, brighter outlook and renewal in mind and body.

I also plan to jump right back into my day on/day off food and fasting regimen as well, because this is when I feel at my best and I want to keep that feeling. Today and perhaps this coming few weeks now, my focus will be on more and different exercise as well as some out door activities, my body just feels ready for some significant changes.

And change is ultimately what any of this work is all about - it doesn't matter if you are only starting out or have been at this for years in one form or another- there is always more to learn, more to understand and another road to travel down. Life is great when looked at through clear eyes.

Today I am hoping for some sun (I know its up there in the sky somewhere!) and am busy with other projects - while my mind is still reflecting back over these 10 days. I can tell you one thing about it right now - a piece of our soul came back, something significant, life altering and fantastic. 

Now, it just needs some time to unfold as it moves fully into its' place. Work well done.

Have a lovely day,

April

Day 10 - Nearly There

I am now in the final stages of my Master Cleanse - Day 10 with less than 24 hours before I break my fast and start gearing up for food again. This has been quite an experience I must say and at the end of it all - very good!

My body never ceases to amaze me at what it is capable of and how it then proceeds to systematically remove the old/unnecessary/toxic and clean house. I feel pretty good today and have felt good for the last few days in fact. Except for the rain...but oh well. That too shall pass.

This MC has been quite different from others that I have done and I think it is because it is simply deeper - perhaps I am finally getting into spaces and places in-between that I have wanted to get into for a long time. It certainly seems that way. I am feeling quite clear in my mind and body as well and my thinking is a little different again.

I feel more adventurous - as if some piece of my spirit or the girl that I used to be is coming back. Last night was a night of many dreams - only these were not the usual ones that I have during a cleanse, they were each about change, movement, traveling and setting things up - sort of like getting ready for something? Perhaps for any changes that are coming!

One dream that stands out was of me with a dog team and sled in the north of Canada, I was pretty far north, but realized I still had a ways to go and was sorting out fish to feed the dogs so that we could continue night and day on our journey. Very cryptic - I am thinking now even as I write this if my body would like me to continue for a couple more days on this cleanse...hmmm. Today will tell!

Other than that I am once again very pleased that I have made it this far - it is always such an accomplishment and my digestion always goes back to work so cleanly afterwards. Another point worth making here is that instead of feeling depleted after 10 days without eating, you feel nourished, taken care of, refreshed and ready to go. Remarkable really, because all that is taken in is water and the little bit of lemon, maple syrup and herbs. 

Well, off to see how this day plays out, talk to you tomorrow,

Here is another butterfly in the garden- they seem to love the sage

48 Hours to Go - Day 9

We are now officially in count down mode with less than 48 hours to go before we break our fast and start on the juices that will get our digestive tract moving again and prepared for food. This has been a far tougher cleanse than some of the others - comparable in many ways to my 40 day fast last year- perhaps because of the depths that my body has taken me this time around.

I have mentioned a little about it - of seeing fairies and into other worlds and realms - that is not unusual for me, being a Medical Intuitive, I am often drawn into those dimensions and can navigate my way around quite well. However, this time - it was to the darker energies of those worlds and for that reason this has been an intriguing few days to say the least.

So, what does that mean - I can't just throw that out there - darker energies and leave you dangling can I? Well, I have long understood that each and every realm, world and dimension has a dark side (why wouldn't it?) everything is not all love and light. Sorry to burst some bubbles out there - but there is a criminal element in everything. Just look around at the recession and the mess the world is in - but that's another discussion!

These past few days have taken me on a journey deep through some dark space where this criminal element resides (we can also look at it as old viruses that do not belong, candida, fungus, inflammation in the body - there is always a parallel) and things have been cleaned out of some of those areas. Very simple process really and some deep work on my body's part.

I feel pretty good, I did a lot of Yoga yesterday, stretching, some free weights, and re-bounder - just to keep my energy moving and because I felt like I had lots of energy to burn off. I have a very clear mind at this point and even in the rain it feels as if I can see for miles...

What I am now looking forward to is seeing how my body feels next week after I finish this 10 days - just to experience if some of the old inflammation (my knees, old scar tissue from a C-section and MRSA that I had a few years ago) has reduced even further and my body maintains this feeling of wellness. 

I will keep you posted,

April

You can't see it very well here - but there is one of our honey bees on the oregano in the garden!

And On the 7th Day...

Here we are, once again now on day 7 and deep into another detox cycle - each of us is keenly aware of it this time around as well. We are far more in sync as a family or a unit that is detoxing - quite remarkable actually.

Not much in the way of physical symptoms - I am feeling pretty good, really clear in myself and lighter in my stomach area. This Master Cleanse has gone deeper than any other before - with a lot of old dark, heavy 'things' coming up to the surface. I am relieved that perhaps some of this is moving out now and that progress is being made.

I am also having a lot of dreams and visions - I usually have visions or other worldly insight but when I get busy and preoccupied with the stuff around me, these often fade into the background. It is nice to have them back and to feel more in touch with other dimensions within myself. 

Yesterday was definitely a day for the other realms - there were fairies, animal beings, plants and trees with human form and all sorts of interesting creatures coming into view for me - each with their own wisdom or information to share.

I feel as if I am finally cleaned out enough to be worthy of that special link and communication with them again. And that is indeed what this Master Cleanse is comparable to - a gentle bath on the inside of my body to remove built up debris which ultimately hold me back in some way. 

It always feels good to get to this point in the cleanse because now I feel as if I have a chance to reflect back on these last 6 days and then decide if there are any other issues I would like to focus on - although most of the time my body appears to have its own agenda! LOL

I am also aware that I am not feeling as productive from a getting things done perspective this time around - I am resting more and reflecting a lot on what I am feeling. Each MC is so different so you just have to go with it and let it play out naturally. 

Well, off to get some things done, have a good one!

Now Half Way There!

Today is the start of day five and it already promises to be another good day. We got a few things done yesterday - as is par for the course when doing a cleanse, as you work far more efficiently and of course a little faster.

As is usual for me, I am cleaning all sorts of things - inside and out. So I spent the morning cleaning things that needed to be sorted out and then out to the garden for some more weeding. Then, once I started in on the garden I stumbled across an ant hill which had to be carefully moved - very telling for a family doing a cleanse! Removing weeds and things that do not belong in the garden (the shadow self). 

I am feeling pretty good overall - a little sore this morning after all the bending, kneeling and moving things around with the weeding. However, I am far more positive today as I know that I really came through a huge detox cycle in the last two days or so. This is how it always seems to work, big detox cycle, the a small rest, then another big push inside the body to get another deep layer out.

And I am so pleased with having made a huge connection from these old energetic patterns in my life to the time I spent working in a place where I was treated horribly and felt bullied. Hopefully now some other big chunk of that old way of thinking/feeling is behind me.

A Master Cleanse is deep, this is hard work, it is ten days of intense focus and scrutiny on your inner being, emotional, spiritual, energetic, and physical patterns. Then allowing your body the time and space for these to move and come to the surface - while you listen, watch and work with all that surfaces.

To say that this can be the biggest commitment and perhaps one of the most important things that you might ever do, would be an understatement. Each of these has changed my life - a few days at a time and moved me to higher ground. 

I would not trade the time spent detoxing, fasting and cleansing for anything. Yes, it can be tough. I have days which are absolutely grueling. However, I had far worse in my life when I was eating poorly, feeling unwell and could not see the light at the end of each tunnel. 

With each MC, I am choosing my battles and the place where they will play out - and I am entirely in charge. This is all about power, change and taking back control of my life from the inside out.

Something to think about....

Day 3 - Sun is Shining

Well, we are on Day 3 of our Master Cleanse and of course woke up this morning feeling better, less tired and all round less achy then yesterday. The first two days for me are always the worst - and once that is behind me I feel as if the cleanse kicks in.

Once again I am feeling very emotional in short fits and starts, like waves of toxins moving through. And a lot of memories this time round of work that I used to do many years ago - the people I worked with and the situations I found myself in. 

Although I am not entirely sure why this is all surfacing right now - it is usually part of the overall process and I have learned to just go with it. So, I'll see what this day brings as it goes on.

One thing that I did notice from the last MC and this one as well - is that my skin is clearer and softer, and that I feel warmer in general as if my body temperature has risen a tiny bit. I was usually always cold and often nothing could warm me up- so this is a welcome change.

This morning waking up to bright sunshine is also a welcome relief as we see far too little of it and our Vitamin D stores must be quite depleted. Where ever you are today - if there is sun, get outside and enjoy it.

Have a sunny day!

First Day - Master Cleanse

This is Day One of my June Master Cleanse - I had promised myself that I would do one a month for each month this summer and this is my second beginning. I actually wasn't certain that I would begin today and had not admitted it much to myself (I was mulling it over!) so last night I said, ok - if this was the right time for the June cleanse I would have a dream or something and be sure.

And did I ever have a dream! I dreamt all night about the same things - an old virus that I had when I was 20 years old - glandular fever - at the time I was just happy to get back to work after a month off and try to get my energy back. But by 15 years later I was realizing that my energy never really came back fully and I never did feel like myself afterwards.

It was only when I started detoxing that everything changed and I began to realize that I could feel much better than I did. Of course, I had to let go of all the stimulants and toxins in my diet as well - so this is where I am at today. Still healing, still reversing damage that has been done to my body by so many nasty things over the years -in my experience a cleanse is what you make of it and its all about the mind.

I just finished reading one person's account of a 5 day juice 'cleanse' where she says she had a terrible time, never felt good and couldn't wait for it to end. She was dying for a coffee - according to her and that was the first thing that she had once the detox was finished. Well, duh! 

You will have caffeine withdrawal for a few days if you do not taper it off or stop drinking the drug prior to starting a diet of any kind. This person was a bit of a fool for thinking that she could just jump right into  a cleanse without prior preparation and a bigger fool for not realizing that caffeine is a serious stimulating drug that has far reaching effects on the body. 

What bothers me is that not many people will pick up on that fact and will then be put off from doing something that could potentially change their lives in a few short days. So, if you want to do a cleanse or a detox or a fast of any kind - get rid of the drugs first. Quit smoking, stop coffee, change your water and perhaps if you take medication - then this is not for you. 

Your body has to be ready to be cleaned - so imagine if you are preparing a room for a good, thorough cleaning - what would you do? You would empty it first as much as possible because you cannot clean with a cluttered room full of junk! 

Well, I am off to enjoy my first day of my June cleanse - I just know that this will be interesting to say the least...

Mayan Prophecies

Yesterday I was listening to a well known personality in the alternative health field give his own thoughts on these Mayan Prophecies and the hype over this coming year end - 12/12/12 or 12/21/12. I have mentioned it only a couple of times in the past few years as I have not really given it much thought.

However, yesterday got me thinking about it again and of course I always come to the same conclusions each time. That there is nothing to worry about if you are living the way you are meant to live and following a higher path towards consciousness. 

The energy that is shifting on this earth is consciousness, and this change starts within.

Of course there are an awful lot of people following some sort of a path, however they are probably going nowhere fast as they are making it up as they go and not listening to any part of their bodies. Your body is what must become conscious - the flesh and blood has to wake up in order for the rest of you to follow along. 

So what does that mean exactly? You must take exquisite care of your body removing all chemicals, toxins and poisons, feed it the nutrition it requires to be healthy and exercise to keep it all working smoothly and that is just the beginning. Once you start on the true path to higher awareness, your body will take over and lead the way by taking you more deeply into yourself.

This is a gentle journey of awakening - like stripping paint from an old piece of furniture, each layer that is removed reveals another piece of its history and tells more of the story of its beginnings. It is not a process that can be interrupted, altered, changed, cheated, fast-tracked or pushed forward in any way. 

There is only one way to enlightenment and that is through the body. This is a trip that unites and integrates body-mind-spirit in full alignment with the One or the All or the Universe. Whatever. 

The reason I am commenting on this today is because of the fact that there is so much out there being said and so many ways that people are being encouraged to leave their bodies or their minds behind and go to higher realms without any grounding. Dangerous territory indeed.

If you are serious about consciousness, spirituality or even your continued better health - it all starts with the body. We can't live without one!

Have a really grounded day,

April
