Spiritual Path - The Magic is Alive

In some ways I feel as ancient as the rocks and in others like an infant just taking my first steps. That is how it feels each and every day that my feet touch the ground (running, I might as well add) since I made the conscious decision years ago to really walk this path.

Even though I am an Intuitive (thank you god/goddess for that blessing) and I am aware of and in tune with quite a lot of what is taking place around me, in me and resulting from my decisions….

It is not ever easy to hand over your life completely to your own inner guidance system and then trust that voice. You have to trust that the voice you feel, hear and sense are indeed your own. And if they are your own, then to get to know them and what would be asked or expected of you.

There is little else that a person can really be asked to do about their spiritual pursuits otherwise – you cannot push the path that shifts before and under your feet. You can only wait while it is revealed in front of you, however, the path is not always illuminated, often it is dark.

What you will ultimately find is yourself, this is not a quest to search for the pieces of your soul, or the broken bits of your life….the path IS your soul, it becomes your life and what is broken will surely heal as you move further along the road in front of you.

Or as we like to joke at home….we go ‘further up and further in’.

But for the rest of this stuff and anything that may be asked of you --- it is not complicated, complications are from an ‘overmind’ and are an indication of interference energy (something that should not be there, like a resistance in your way).

Walking, talking and living the spiritual path should be and is simple. You are learning how to simplify, fix, heal and change your life from the inside out. That is why food, water and keeping a clean body are vital. In this way – it’s a sort of magical (alchemical) Universal process.

Only you do the work, be true to yourself and just like magic – one day, that work pays off.

Soul Re-covery on the Spiritual Path

Perhaps the single biggest thing that holds us back in life is the family that raised us. I would not refer to them as our family of origin because as many of you walking the spiritual path are finding out, an unsupportive and unloving family are not likely to be connected to you on a soul level. 

Probably the easiest way to describe this is that we have been mixed up on an energetic level – some of us have been enslaved, adopted out, lost and otherwise taken in by strangers at various times during our lives here on this planet.

When we come back then into another lifetime, energetic ties have been established and work must be done to break free of them. That is why many of us are finding we are pulling away from childhood associations – once the patterns resolve. 

Mainly because there are so many of us determined to work on our own ‘stuff’ this time around! 

This makes for an interesting time of it during this ‘awakening’ on the earth right now, mostly because part of rising consciousness is sorting ourselves out. And certainly finally understanding who and what we are and what we have come here to do; is all a part of that path.

Sifting through our past lives, present circumstances and hopeful future, are what walking a spiritual path should entail. Of course it takes in much more ground than that, but getting back to your point of origin (first lifetime) is a priority. 

Why is that so? To put this clearly and succinctly – when each of us arrived here on this planet to take up residence and work through our life cycle – we came here intact.

That means we had a soul, an essence, a family of origin, fully functioning DNA, a spiritual map and a compass. We were in working order and operational as divine beings on the path.

Many things have taken place over the several lifetimes since – but perhaps the most significant of these is how our souls have been shattered, broken and parts of it lost in the melee. With the resulting disconnect and then not remembering our pasts and where we came from. 

Right now this is where we are finding our interests and minds drawn – to deeper more pressing questions of who we are and what purpose must this lifetime serve here at this time. 

In order to answer these questions, missing, lost and forgotten pieces of ourselves must be found and integrated with the whole. This is the work of spirit – a regeneration of profound importance.

And part of our spiritual re-covery.

What is Energy? an excerpt from Universal Energy Laws

Usually the most common definition for energy is the ability to do work, it can also be used in reference to the ability to make something happen. Both of these definitions put forward some powerful and interesting concepts. Other words that can be used for energy according to the thesaurus are: vigour, vitality, life, spiritedness, spark, strength, power, drive, fire, force, and so forth. 

But you probably get the picture. All of these words and even these most simple definitions equate energy as being very similar to other elemental forces. 

When we speak of energy in terms of the ability to do work, this is where energy comes into its own. Our bodies must ‘work’ and be in working order, otherwise we are dysfunctional (something is NOT working) or become sick and depressed. 

One very important aspect of living on this planet, is that all human beings need to contribute to the consciousness, and for many of us, this is our work. If this is your work, then you are responsible for keeping your body, mind and soul, clear, clean and in great condition. 

Otherwise what sort of energy are you actually contributing? 

When we think of energy in terms of the ability to make something happen, this implies that it is a force and can be used or applied to other things. If this is the case then I can shift or move energy from place to place or transfer it from one site to another. Actually this is a very simple process and is what takes place during energy therapy, for example. 

This concept also helps us to understand the very real situation of energetic blocks, resistance, reluctance, denial and refusal- each of these is a problem within the energy field and leads to all sorts of chronic issues such as anxiety, overweight, dis-ease and dysfunction.

An energy BLOCK, is a place of little or no movement within the energy field. It contains energy that is stagnant, immovable, frozen or stuck and if not dealt with will lead to dis-ease and dysfunction.

What is Consciousness and what does it have to do with energy? 

Consciousness is a force first of all. The dictionary refers to it as a state of awareness, alert, responsive, mindfulness, with actions that are purposeful, deliberate and knowing. This is loaded! Imagine the planet becoming a living breathing aware and conscious being…oh the things we could do. 

Like all energy, consciousness is alive and lives within your cells residing in the WATERY matrix in living tissue. The task then becomes to connect to your highest levels of consciousness and allow your body to be pulled up to vibrate at the highest point. 

This is especially important with the food we feed our bodies such as living food like fresh vegetables and fruit. In a plant based diet these living foods contain consciousness, while ‘dead’ food (some meats, prepared meals, highly processed food) does not, a good reason to limit fish and meat and cut out rubbish.

Water is also able to alter its composition to become conscious, this is how consciousness is moved within cells, and therefore is the medium for a gradual process of awakening. In fact water is so important to you as a healer, energy practitioner, therapist or light worker, your body, mind and soul cannot integrate (arrive back together) unless you change your vibration through water. 

To connect with the highest vibration of love and consciousness, and then to draw to you what is yours, you have to at least rise up to meet it. Closing the Energy Leaks© then becomes part of the whole process, which includes pure food and movement and taking action.  

It is not enough to just visualize or meditate, no matter what others may say! You must then act (move) on what your heart desires and not be a passive watcher. This movement includes exercise and the right diet as well as managing your own energy.

Spiritual Detox Part 2

This subject may never be finished, there is still much that needs to be said and as I mentioned before it has been mulling around my mind for such a long time, this entire theme of toxicity of spirit. There are deeper issues here that are affecting each one of us who are walking this path, while some of them are making us sick.

Two of which are spiritual jealousy and spiritual competitiveness - each of these in turn probably arrive together and derive from similar sources. However, both are equally nasty and damaging (to the extreme) of the energy field creating large rips or tears especially along the back of the body.

I would go so far as to say that if to be envious of someone else can be likened to sending dark magic their way, to be resentful and bitter regarding someone's spirituality can be compared to embedding a curse deep within their energy field which festers away until recognized and removed.

One of the main problems here is that even though we may know a darkness is carried or buried in the field, most people are unaware of how to remove or disassemble it. And indeed it takes some doing - this is not as simple as drinking a herbal remedy (although herbs can play a large role) nor can it be shifted by someone else.

This is what I want to address here mainly, far more then anything else on your spiritual journey, is that you must come to rely upon yourself for your own healing, body care and take full responsibility for all that you are and want to become. 

No one other than you can do this on your behalf, in the exact same way that no one else can fix you, shift you or walk your path. They may be able to point you in the right direction, however, when it comes down to the actual physical work of your spirit - be it removal of a curse or aligning with higher consciousness, your body already knows how to do this, any 'assistance' might cause more harm then good. 

So how does this relate back to spiritual competitiveness and jealousy - quite simple really, there are those out there who are ready to step into action the moment you start to believe you can't do this on your own. They might offer help and guidance by way of most often bizarre rituals involving the soul which are said to help you with your journey in some way.

To be honest with you, if someone starts mentioning working on another person's soul, dreams, life force, or anything deeper then the immediate energy field, I would run the other way. There is not one of us on the planet with permission to tamper so deeply with another person. 

Once such a person has been granted access to your inner blueprint this is dangerous ground - in my experience there are those who want what they see and will then stop at nothing to take it. They have placed themselves into positions of power where access to other people is easy and anyone perceived as a threat can be dealt with severely. 

I know, this is not the 'love and light' subject normally brought up during discussions on higher consciousness - however, these things are real, they are happening and even though this is unpleasant, it still must be talked about. 

With this blog in particular, my promise has always been to tell it like it is and to call out the truth of each and every situation that we may find ourselves in. That is what I have been writing about for quite some time in my books and now, if you are reading this and wondering why, perhaps it is time to ask yourself about your own level of protection. 

Your spirit or soul is the most precious commodity you own, guard it with your life.

Even with all the rain...

Even with all of the rain, each day is good for something and today is no exception. The energy is clear and undisturbed right now with movement coming in short waves and bursts, like popping balloons.

This might make us feel a little jumpy or anxious at times, however it is all part of the bigger process of changes that are underfoot. The one difficult thing is to remain grounded during these shifts as some can feel quite literally lifted off of their feet.

So, that was a synopsis of what is happening with the energy fields for those of us who are walking a higher path, something is moving us onwards and upwards gently towards our purpose. And just what is purpose really - I have often had people come to me sincerely seeking to know and understand their purpose here on the earth.

Of course it is written in their DNA and coded into every cell, however, until you are actually ready, safe, knowledgeable and perhaps mature enough you will not be shown your full purpose in life. It can be compared to a triple locked box that only you can open after a series of tests and trials to prove you are really you. And finally in a place to act on it.

One of our purposes here on this planet is usually very simple - we are here to regain all that we have lost and left behind. To meet up with soul mates and to reunite with  soul family once again. Once we find these pieces of ourselves then the rest of the world can align and open up to us and within us. 

So, even with all the rain, there is much that is happening, seen and unseen. Life is never dull, just follow the energy.

Have a nice 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

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
