Action Time is NOW!

Some time ago, I shared a dream about seven sisters who came to Earth to enrich my soul, transform my life; accelerate my growth and guide me along the path to greater accomplishments. I have been blessed with abundance and blessings over the years and welcome their continuing contributions to my work and life.  Through their encouragement, Truth, Courage, Virtue, Compassion, Wisdom, Gratitude and Forgiveness have asked me to share their gifts with the world.

I know people don’t like it when folks keep revisiting the same territory time and time again, but guess what? That’s exactly where we’re going because my guides believe sometimes repetition is necessary. Fact is, the human brain needs to hear something at least three times before it actually “listens”, makes the connection, and begins to take action.

So listen to this – here is your reminder… action time is NOW! Don’t wait for the moment to be perfect or until all the stars align in heaven. If you’ve got a passion in your heart, what’s holding you back?  If you’ve wanted to learn something new and discover how your life can be profoundly changed for the better, NOW is the time to set things in motion and get moving.  In this moment, you have everything you need to start dreaming, planning and designing your new future.

Maybe you’ve just been holding back. What fears are keeping you from achieving your loftiest goals? Are you aware fear is only self-imposed confinement? The box is only a box – it has walls you can break down any time, but you have to be willing to stretch and take appropriate risk to navigate the barriers. As long as you are willing stay in the box, you can never realize true freedom.

What gifts have you been given that you’re not purposefully using? Maybe you put them on a shelf for later use and forgot about them. It doesn’t matter – it’s never too late to get them out and start embracing and integrating them into your life.

If you’ve been procrastinating or need help exploring your special talents, IntuitiveGoddesse is waiting to hear from you! I love working with people ready and willing to drop the façade and start living Authentic lives.

Embrace your inner Goddesse! All it takes is the conscious desire to peel back the layers and discover your true essence and a commitment to investing in yourself.

Soar!

The other day a friend of mine was visited by a dragonfly.  Lightly perched on the crest of her knuckles, it appeared to stare back at her, not moving for an instant, hesitating before launching itself back out into the hot summer’s afternoon. Puzzled and perplexed, she sat there with the widest grin on her face and still hadn’t moved her hand, even after her guest had departed.

“I don’t know what that means, but it must be important,” she exclaimed. “That’s never happened to me… you saw it… it just sat there looking at me… OMG!”

She was right. Her messenger was letting her know that her deepest dreams have begun to stir and it’s time for her to pay attention. As they say, “the winds of change are upon us,” meaning it’s time to sit up and get ready for what’s about to show up. If you’re suddenly inspired by dragonflies, perhaps you should think about getting your “wings” out of mothballs and prepare to take flight.

In light of the three eclipses this past summer, the cosmic pot has been stirred, resulting in lots of changes brewing around us.  Things have been stewing and simmering and now we are once again ready for movement. A deep emotional awakening has taken place and it’s time to dig deep and make decisions which will reverberate in your future. 

Paying attention goes against the grain for most of us, as most people are more interested in seeking instant gratification rather than looking beneath the façade and finding the subtleties in the world around us. Content as you may be to “let sleeping dogs lie”, now is the time to take notice of your own conscious thoughts and self-talk which may have kept you from moving forward. Open and allow yourself to be divinely inspired and guided to fulfill your life’s purpose. 

 

Meditation is a good way to bring focus and clarity to your thoughts and help determine whether or not you’re ready to more fully explore potentials and possibilities.

Got a dream which has been stowed away in the back closet of your mind? The gateway to your dreams has been activated and it is time for those hopes and desires to begin taking shape – moving from thought forms to begin working on transformative steps to create your new reality. Like the dragonfly, you possess the innate ability to soar, weightless above the clouds and higher than you ever thought possible.  

New Affirmation: I AM OPEN AND ALLOWING DIVINE GUIDANCE IN MY LIFE.!

Visualize This...

If you’re a free thinker who likes to use your imagination, today’s post was written with you in mind! 

People who meditate regularly are more easily able enter the alpha brainwave state, where your mind is open and receptive to infinite, unrealized potential. Think about it – when you go to bed every night, just before you fall off to sleep, your brain goes through the alpha state and you become relaxed and dreamy. It’s also good for reducing blood pressure and maintaining a healthy immune system.

Visualization, which is the subject of this post, is an easy way to communicate with your higher, subconscious self and/or your spirit guides. If you’re serious about starting or maintaining a good spiritual practice, set aside time – it’s well worth it! If you’re like me, with a busy career, or lots of business and family commitments, meditation is a great way to unwind and let go of the tension that builds up in your body during the day.

Starting out, there are a few things you should know about preparing for meditation. Following these guidelines will help you to have satisfying and enriching experiences:

• Find a place where you won’t be disturbed for at least 20 minutes. Put a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door knob and close the door;
• Turn off any appliances – excess lights, phones, radios or stereo – they can disrupt the energy flow in the area where you’re working;
• Dim the lights – eliminating unnecessary lighting will help you shut out external influences and calm your mind;
• Wear comfortable clothing – constricting items will interfere with your ability to relax.
• Don’t have any expectations about the outcome. There is no right or wrong when it comes to meditation – every experience is individual.
•  Let things happen. Inner peace becomes possible when we release control and allow the universe to present us with opportunities.
•  Read all the steps before you get started so you’ll know what to do.  Have paper and pen available as part of this exercise.  Before you begin, take a minute to clear your thoughts and set the intention to be open for a wonderful experience.

Now that it’s time to get started on your visioning meditation. You don’t need to focus on anything other than the task at hand. If you’ve never meditated before there is nothing to be concerned about. If you’ve been away from meditation for awhile, this will be like rediscovering an old friend. 

Meditation is a journey of self-discovery. Don’t worry about taking notes. Visioning is an internal, organic process which allows you to hear, feel and see what your eyes would otherwise dismiss. Your imagination provides you with tools to imagine the impossible.

A lot of people are interested in contacting their spirit guides or angels and are unsure as to how to go about it. This exercise is designed to let your imagination step in and help the process along.

Think back to when you were young – maybe you had an imaginary friend, saw ghosts or had premonitions. At the time, your gifts probably weren’t encouraged and you suppressed them. Now, years later you’re at a point in your life when you want to rediscover those long-hidden talents and how to reconnect with the universal mind.

This exercise is going to help you loosen those barriers and allow your imagination to re-train your mind. When we use visions, or creative visualization, we’re allowing our imagination to provide symbols for important messages in our lives.

Now, let’s take a few deep breaths, and inhale all the way down to your belly. Let go of any tension or stress, so you can become relaxed and centered. Exhale and force the bad air out with a "whoosh" sound. Do this several times to center yourself.

Step 1: The Pursuit of Color. Sitting calmly, let your mind find a color – the first one that comes to mind. Don’t worry about what color it is or whether it’s your favorite color. See the color as vibrantly as you can. Note the shade and/or intensity of the color and write it down. If you can’t “see” the color, what color do you “feel” or “think”. No matter how it comes, let it come into your consciousness and come alive.

Spend the next several minutes jotting down whatever information you get about your color. Here are some ideas to get you started: 

• Is it light or dark? 
• What emotion did you feel with the color? 
• Does the color have a scent or a smell?

Step Two: Hard Target.  Now that you have your color in mind, picture the color becoming an object. Remember, the goal is to collect the first thing that pops into your mind:

• What is your object?
• Is it something you already know or is it new to you?
•  Describe the object in as much detail as possible and keep the visualization clearly in your mind for the next step.

Step Three: Look Around. At this point, step back from the object you are visualizing and add context to the scene. Look at it as if you’ve just taken a picture and you’re now viewing it in a picture frame:

• What is going on in the picture?
• What is the relationship of your object to the picture you’ve created?
• What emotions do you experience when you view your picture?

Step Four: Put Yourself in the Picture. Step into the picture you’ve created and take in everything that's going on. Check out your surroundings. Soak up all the information you can:

• Where are you?
• Is this somewhere familiar or entirely new to you?
• What’s going on in this scene?
• Who else is there with you? (This could be a person, animal, a shape or maybe just a presence.)

Step Five: What’s Happening? Ask your guest(s) why they came. Pay attention to any thoughts, impressions or other clues which pop into your mind. Listen for your message(s) and feel free to ask questions if you need more information or clarification.

• Do they have a name?
• What are you talking about?
• Are you given any special message(s)?

When you’ve gathered all the information you’re able, it’s time to thank your guest(s) and say your goodbyes.  It is important to be thankful for the guidance of divine wisdom and appreciate the gifts you have been offered. Soak up the scene and take in as much information as you can so you can write it down in your notes. When you’re ready, close your eyes for a few minutes and savor what you have just experience. 

When you decide you are ready, go ahead and open your eyes and finish journaling about your meditation experience. Remember, these are your notes.  There is no right and there is no wrong. Each meditation is a personal, intimate one and they cannot be compared. The messages you received are for you.

I would love to hear about your experience and get some feedback, so feel free to send me an email (IntuitiveGoddesse@gmail.com).

New Affirmation:  I AM OPEN TO RECEIVING LOVE AND LIGHT!

Remember; be open to experiencing joy and peace in your life,

A Light in the Darkness

This blog entry is a channeled message which I have been asked to share. I am honored to do so and welcome your comments.

To my Sisters,

Out of the darkness came the light. At first, it was just a glimmer as the Divine Consciousness began to take form as thought. From the dark expanse at the brink of the infinite horizons, Awakening began. The Divine Consciousness sparkled down from the luminous moonlight, raining essence over Gaia. Not knowing they were part of something greater, the shimmers of light continued to coalesce and evolve independent of one another. 

In our past, there have been many sparks that flamed with great brilliance. However, since mankind wasn’t yet ready to resolve our humanity with our divinity, those sparks reluctantly gave up their birthright to live in ignorance, receding into the dimensional realms, like phoenix awaiting rebirth. 

And one day, as if on cue, the Divine Consciousness reached out and illuminated all the sparkles together so we would know we were not alone. Caressed by the soft glow of moonlight, we began to recognize one another and the Divine Feminine became aware.

We, the women who walk the path, are part of the Divine Feminine who was birthed into life at that time. We have been called from all creeds, races and ethnicities to join forces to defeat the darkness and give rise to the light of Transcendence. We have been initiated into the mysteries of life and death, shedding our past karma and accepting initiation into our healing gifts.

Setting aside differences, we reach out across space and time to embrace and help our sleeping Sisters to awaken and heed the call. Called to question and quest, we release ourselves from bondage. 

Teachings have been visited upon us in many ways. We have been guided by the pearls of the night sky in slumber and meditation to arouse our higher selves. The light of the blazing sun eradicates the darkness within. Sounds of creation echo throughout our physical vessels, preparing our bodies for evolution. Star People regularly visit the transit between worlds to teach the lineages of our ancestors and help us remember. 

Ascended Masters, Angels, bodhisattvas and other benevolent beings touch our hearts, sensitizing our bodies to the fragile environment, as well as the suffering of Gaia and her children. We have been given grace, compassion and LOVE to help fulfill our joined destiny. We have risen from deep slumber to embrace both halves of creation – the physical and the divine – as interconnected transcendent entities.

We are not approaching the end of time—rather, we are gathering in preparation for the shift to a new state of being – an age of spiritual evolution and enlightenment.  

Nurturers, life bringers, healers and teachers, we are chosen. As Spiritual beings, we take our places as activists, guardians, and elementals to guide, protect, serve and facilitate the healing of those whom we meet along the interconnecting pathways. For some, this has been a remarkable awakening. Others have endured tremendous sacrifice to respond. No matter, we are now together as one people, holding one another aloft in the light. We are Goddesse.

New affirmation: I FULLY AWAKEN TO MY POWERS AND GIFTS.

May your light shine brightly illuminating the darkness for others.

Intuition - Access Your Own Power!

I keep getting questions about intuition – What is it?  How do you know if you have it? What do you do with it? So I’m jotting a few thoughts on the subject. In simple terms, Intuition is nothing more than a re-awakening of a gift you were already born with.

That’s right -- get rid of the myth that not everyone has it. Everyone’s born with intuition. From the moment of birth, at the instant the umbilical cord is severed, babies instinctively know what’s good and what’s bad – even though they can’t speak for themselves. Reliance on this internal guidance diminishes as we get cues from our families and the environment at large which guides our choices. By the time we reach adulthood, most of us have forgotten these, as we continue relying on society at large to provide our frames of reference.

How can you recognize it? Intuition is experienced differently depending upon how well attuned an individual is to his/her body:

• “Knowing” the phone is going to ring before it does.
• Experience “hunches” when you’re making challenging decisions.
• Changing travel plans because of unsettled or anxious “feelings”.
• “Receiving” information without being told anything in advance.

These are all examples of intuition at work. Some people see things; others hear messages. There are a variety of ways information is transmitted to us intuitively. We are constantly receiving these bits of data, but most of us spend our time ignoring them because we don’t know what they represent.

The majority of us function under sensory overload – we’ve trained ourselves to submit to sensory interruptions as “white noise”, as we go about our busy lives. Everything around us is composed of pure energy; we are bombarded by invisible sound waves (think radio and television), vibrations from people’s voices, computers, automobiles and other things in our environments, to name a few. When you can learn to shut out these external interruptions and learn to ground yourself, you can begin to access and develop the intuitive skills you were born with.

Accessing your intuitive gifts requires reconnecting with your spiritual self. Meditation or time spent in focused contemplation is a good place to start.

Once you begin the reconnection, the real learning begins. Working with your intuition and using it properly is akin to learning how to craft a fine piece of artisan work. To start, you’ll go through an apprenticeship where you learn how your body responds, listening to subtle hints and work to refine your latent ability. Some will move on to journeyman status, working on a deeper level to properly interpret the information you’re receiving. With years of practice and dedication, some will eventually master their talents and begin developing and cultivating their own intuitive practices.

Is intuition 100% fool-proof? I believe the answer depends on the individual and how carefully you work at tuning your instrument. Trusting your intuition and listening to your inner guidance will allow become more empowered and confident about calculated risk taking. What I can guarantee is that you’ll be living healthier and happier with much less stress. New affirmation: I AM RECONNECTING WITH AND TRUSTING MY INTUITION. 

P.S. Obviously there’s a lot more to working with intuitive gifts than I could possibly outline in this entry and you’re not going to become an expert overnight. If you’re interested in learning to work with your intuitive gifts and would like more information, please click here.

Always expect the best outcome! Love and light,

Gifts from the Universe

I've had an ongoing fascination with rainbows for about the past six or seven years.  I believe this had to do with my opening up and allowing myself to see the beauty which is all around us. Since that time, I have been receiving these Universal gifts in lots of highly unusual places. I have remarked on rainbows which suddenly appeared on bus benches, on street signs, on pavement, in a clear blue sunlit sky, and on empty walls.  Some people ask for feathers; some want pennies – for me, I’ll take the rainbow. I consider myself lucky to witness these wonderful, positive and affirming energies when they make their infrequent and inspirational appearances.

Today is Martin Luther King's birthday and I was on my way into the office. Yes, I'd lingered extra-long in the bed before throwing back the covers and announcing aloud, to Spirit and myself, it was going to be a wonderful day. I quickly got myself dressed, fortified with a bowl of oatmeal and cinnamon for breakfast and headed out.  Heading out, I grabbed a coat thinking I’d better be prepared – it had been a fair weekend, but the weather couldn't seem to make up its mind.  Even then, I wasn't prepared for the gift the Universe was getting ready to bestow on me.

Every morning, I make the same drive down this four-lane road which gives me the perfect opportunity to see the mountains and judge the weather on the other side of the Continental Divide. Most days, I'm greeted with beautiful scenery, but today was different.

Before witnessing this morning's display, I was still peeling away the layers of weekend fog to be ready to handle some tough assignments I had ahead of me. Having settled into my familiar commute, I was barely five minutes from my front door, when the sun beamed out of the Eastern sky at my back, like a Hollywood spotlight. Surprised by the intense glow which enveloped my car; I immediately looked up and found myself staring at an impressive rainbow silhouetted against fluffy clouds spilling over the mountain tops.  Carefully etched into the cloud layer, it reminded me of an illustrated pathway to the heavens, a beautiful, colorful bridge resembling Dorothy's yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz.

My heart was suddenly filled with unexplainable ecstasy. Everything around me ceased to exist and for a time, there was only me, the rainbow, and Divine consciousness – LOVE -- surrounding me and my car. I found myself wishing with all my being to be allowed to leave my car parked by the side of the road and hike up the rainbow so I could bear witness to what was on the other side. Blinded by the intensity of the sights and sounds around me, I nearly steered my car into the opposite lane. Thankfully, it was empty and I was in no danger. The car was on auto-pilot, guiding me safely down the hill to the next intersection.

For a brief moment, I was filled with sadness and I realized it was because there was no one else around to share this joyful experience. Quickly recovering, I looked up again only to find the rainbow had disappeared. As I normally do, I took this to be a sign – a big “thumbs up” from the Universe. Just so you know, the mountains are a good 30-45 minute drive from where I live, so I can only imagine the level of intensity had I been closer! This experience just confirmed my affirmation for the day: I AM TRULY THANKFUL FOR ALL THE BLESSINGS I RECEIVE!

What a blessed day! Love and light,

Cheryl
