Energy Shift

At first I thought it was just me.

When the new year turned over, I experienced a shift.

Last year, although it was a great year in many respects, I found myself tired. All the time. My  normal almost compulsion to exercise disappeared. I had to force myself to exercise. I wanted to sleep a lot. Other normally healthy body functions were affected as well. I gained a little weight.

I attributed this lack of energy and zeal to the onset of menopause.

This year, it seems I woke up again. I am running again. The extra pounds are slowly coming off. I feel more energetic.

We all have themes for the year. We all have a tarot card that is our theme. This year my card is the Chariot.

The chariot card is all about moving forward despite obstacles. As you can see in the car the man driving the chariot is looking straight ahead despite the fact that the ones supposedly pulling the chariot are sitting down and looking in opposing directions. However, traditionally this card symbolizes movement.

I guess it is no surprise that I would have gotten my mojo back. Yes I feel more energetic despite the throws of menopause.

Then I began to notice that others were noticing a shift in their energetic field as well. Some felt it in their physical bodies, as I did. But others have come to me with questions regarding seemingly out of the blue changes in their soul realm.

I have had the privilege of retrieving lost pieces of people's souls who would have never come to me for assistance in the past. I have at least one client who stopped his drinking habit overnight. People who have formerly laughed or doubted the work I do are now coming out of the woodwork for assistance.

Is this just a coincidence? I  think not.

I have been doing some reading of other intuitive's thoughts on the current shift and some are feeling this shift as well. Some call it "the ascension," a "new age" term that kind of resembles the Christian's term "the Rapture." It is when the souls of earth travelers suddenly decide to evolve to a higher level of consciousness. Not all souls will decide this. There is always the aspect of free will involved, but I am finding that a number of people are finding that things they used to find enjoyable are no longer so enticing. Suddenly they find themselves interested in spirituality. Suddenly they are finding that negative or destructive habits or patterns are losing their appeal.

For myself, I am finding that once again I am enjoying exercise. I am drinking less diet soda, my chosen addiction. (don't judge me, we all have our addictions!!) My clothes seem to be starting to fit again, although I still have some work to do. I am drinking more water.

If you have not noticed a shift in yourself, don't judge yourself! Our souls are all evolving at a different rate. Perhaps this is not the time for you.  Perhaps you have already done most of your soul's evolution, and you are now assisting others to evolve. Perhaps you still have some inner healing work that needs to be done.

We are all evolving from the inside out. I tell my students not to "try" so hard. When you no longer need an addiction, it will go away without so much work. When your soul heals, then the things that have held you back and caused you grief in the past will no longer have a hold on you. Love yourself. Our thoughts and attitudes about ourselves are the first and foremost indicators of our inner healing process.

I can't tell you that you are just going to wake up and feel differently tomorrow. That you are no longer going to want that cigarette or that piece of chocolate cake, or even that drink or other chosen addiction. I do want to tell you that if you focus on loving yourself and doing those things which make you laugh and give you joy, then the path seems easier.

For some, you will find you  may wake up sometime in the near future and just want something different than you did the day before. Maybe you will want to take a class or get attuned to Reiki. Reiki is a powerful healing tool and those who are attuned to it find that they begin to change from the inside out a lot easier than those who are not attuned to it.

Be gentle with yourself. But expect change. If you are even reading this then you have some interest in spirituality. It is not by chance that you have happened upon this blog.

You can contact me if you are interested in tuning in to Spirit and igniting that switch that will bring on the changes you desire. I would love to be of service.

For today, expect wonderful. Expect change. Love yourself. Do something nice for someone else. Get out of your head and into your heart. Be thankful. Laugh.

Our primary purpose is to love life and to have joy. Once you have that down, it becomes so much easier. Now get out there and love deeply.

Thoughts About the Holidays, Snow, and What's Ahead

You may or may not know that I am in the process of writing my second book so I have not been posting blogs as often while I am in this book writing frenzy. I have completely lost focus on everything else as I attempt to tell the story of my journey from mainstream Christianity to the path I now follow. As I have journeyed through my life so far, I have noticed that the same issues I have been through are a common thread throughout the lives of many others.

That being said, I have taken some time to connect with Spirit along the way, and I am noticing a theme.

It seems that there is a huge shift in our Universal Consciousness on the way.

We can choose to go along with our lives with the attitude of "business as usual" or we can choose to take a ride on this new energetic shift and get ready for the ride of our lives!!

Many of us have experienced many challenges in 2013 and I feel that it is really important as we approach the coming year to take some time to go within and find the gift in each of those challenges.

It seems, at least in our part of the country, that the weather is offering us the opportunity to take advantage of some time of inner contemplation.


Winter in itself is symbolic of going within. Snow, in particular, puts our lives on a bit of a hold pattern, as we are forced to either stay home or go out into the elements and shovel our way out.
Either way, whether you decide to hibernate or go out and face the weather, you are offered some time to contemplate. This morning as I began the process of shoveling the little bit of snow that had already accumulated, in a preemptive measure to keep on top of things, I felt such a wonderful connection to the elements and to the quietness of the snowfall. It seems when snow falls, there is almost an element of awe and reverence in the atmosphere that I can feel falling from the heavens.




In the news I am seeing that snow is falling in areas of the earth that has not seen snow in over a hundred years. This to me is significant. The Universe is calling upon us to take some time to contemplate, go within, and find the beauty in our lives.

Just like snow is beautiful to behold but sometimes can be a challenge, so it is with life. Our lives are filled with events and possibilities that offer us a life of awe and beauty, but also one of challenges to overcome. One seems to come only hand in hand with the other sometimes.

This season of Christmas is when people come together to have communion, possibly exchange gifts, and think about the story of new beginnings. In the quiet of a manger, a child was born which changed the direction of the world. Some of the change was good, and some not so good, as I am sure the intention of Jesus was to offer the opportunity for acceptance, forgiveness, and love, but we humans took some of the ideas to extremes and used him as a means of separation and judgement.

We can choose to look at the gift of the Christ Child as a blessing or a curse. Many died over the centuries as supposed followers of Christ killed those who did not adhere to the beliefs they were propagating, but I am sure that was not Christ's intention.

It is all about what we choose to focus on. Should we focus on the atrocities that have been displayed over the centuries or the hope that  there was the offering of a new beginning from the old ways that Christ attempted to uproot? Should we focus on the challenges related to how snowfall keeps us from going on about our business or should we use the opportunity to go within and appreciate the beauty and awe that snowfall affords us?

Should we look back on the past year with regrets, bitterness, or grief, or should we thank our challenges for the gifts of strength and fortitude which only a challenge offers us?

It is all about intention.

May I offer you the challenge to look back on this year with gratitude for the gifts it offered us. Let go of any hurts, griefs, or setbacks, so that your soul can be ready for a new beginning in 2014!!!

Just for today, thank every event in the past year that offered you the opportunity for growth. Let go of anything that you may be holding on to that may hinder you from moving forward!! Look forward to time with family and friends, and look at gift giving, not as an obligation, but an opportunity to bless others!! Many in our past have given us gifts that have brought us to the place where we find ourselves today. Thank them!!

Now excuse me while I go connect with the elements and become one with the snow!!
