2015 - The year of claiming your power and potential in 5D

      Welcome back once again dear reader my final installment of 2014 and a look ahead to 2015.  It will be a happy new year indeed full of energy and lots of action and activity in our individual worlds and in the larger planetary perspective as well.  I'll get into it in a moment, let's first look back at 2014.

     The year 2014 has been a challenge to many on a personal level as all of us continue to be challenged to adjust to the new paradigm of the 5th dimension emerging on the planet.  Old ways and old habits die hard, don't they?  In the sphere of those I know and interact with there has been much re-assessment and seeking towards aligning with one's truth and purpose at a deeper level.  Many are still attempting to operate from a mental level, yet the heart is beginning to take the lead.  This has resulted in many having health challenges, both physical and emotional.  Relationships have come to an end.  People have been changing residences, or getting the feeling that they might be better off in a new location.  Some have stepped a little further away from the old 3D paradigm and have worked through the 4D level which has created a pause from the emotional turmoil that often accompanies that level of consciousness.  Many believe that the 4th dimension is the next step, but as I have stated previously it is only a bridge.  The vibrations of 5th dimensional awareness is where I believe we need to be aiming to spiral our consciousness towards.

     Some have come to a place where they have done some of the work needed and are in an unfamiliar place of confusion or being stuck.  This is because you and I have left behind a lot of our old ways of being that were comfortable and reliable.  There is this knowing that it is pointless to return to that way of being, yet this big energy of "the unknown" is all that can be seen ahead.  The seemingly endless distractions of modern life have added to the confusion.  It is now time to really appreciate your ability to focus and to discern what is best for you.  2015 will be fertile ground to make your way forward into the new.  What tool do we use?  It is the heart and your imagination.  A bit scary and exciting at the same time, isn't it?

     We are each paving our path forward as we step into it, so in a sense there is no road to see because we are creating it as we go.  Living in 5D means trusting your heart and really "owning" your truth, and not anyone else's.  You are a spark of divine creation inhabiting a physical body that is going through much change.  Be kind to yourself.  Despite the harshness and ignorance we see all around us we must stay true to ourselves if we are to navigate the choppy waters of the coming times.  Stay centered in your own self and practice good energetic hygiene by releasing those things and people that no longer serve your happiness or well being.  "Less is more" is the motto to keep in mind going forward.  Now let's explore the possibilities of 2015 and see what it holds.

2015-Power and potential

     This new year is shaping up to be one of much activity on the world stage.  There are many gyrations of economics occurring that will manifest into clashes of the old and new.  Just because the planet is holding a 5th dimensional vibration doesn't mean there will be many fighting to keep things the same old way, i.e.  wars, sanctions, repression of all kinds.  This I believe will be kindled because of the manipulation of the energy markets (mainly oil) that are currently underway.  If you haven't noticed, the price of oil has dropped substantially around the world.  This will have major impacts for countries that depend on oil for the bulk of their revenues (Russia, Saudi Arabia, the other gulf states, Venezuela, and a few others).  Power in the temporal world is represented through money, and these countries getting less of it means the potential for conflict(war) is raised.  In the USA and Canada the lower prices will mean lower production in the lucrative oil shale(fracking-USA) and tar sands(Canada).  Despite this it is likely the new U.S. Congress will approve the Keystone pipeline as a stepping stone to repealing a nearly 40 year ban on the USA exporting oil products.  The wealthy and super powerful oligarch's will stop at nothing to see this happen, believing that in the long term this will give them even more profits and control.

    Here's the 5D angle that the old dinosaurs aren't considering:  The "game" has changed because we exist in a new paradigm that appears to still be the same old ways.  Remember "less is more"?  All around the world people are beginning to intuitively respond to this and are beginning to simplify their material lives.  In my research of macroeconomic trends it is apparent that many are quite aware that consumption will be declining of all types of things in the coming years.  This, combined with the efficiencies brought on by the computer age makes producing things dramatically easier.  It simply takes less and less people to produce more and more goods and services.  In addition, it is clear that world population trends are flattening.  This means fewer people to consume, and more older people who typically consume much less than those of younger years.  I could go on and on about other emerging trends, suffice it to say that there will be change and it will work out for the best, but not before this last gasp of transition plays out.  I imagine it will be sooner than later, but likely no more than 20 years before it becomes accepted as fact.  Now lets go into some more fun views of 2015.

     Numerology is a science developed and refined by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras over 2500 years ago.  The year 2015 = 2+1+5 = 8.  It is an 8 year.  8 years are good for business and creating new ventures and have good potential for new breakthroughs.  It is a year where the theme will test each of us in how much of our own personal power can we claim.  Do you feel worthy of more?  Do you take responsibility for yourself 100%?  On a deeper level, are you willing to believe that you create your reality 100%, and that your success or lack is based on your willingness to connect to the larger and wiser part of you that connects within your heart?  We all do it to some degree, are you willing to stretch yourself a bit more in 2015?  If so, you will be rewarded for your courage and persistence.  It is really a year to focus on you, not all of the others.  Many will be going into deeper fear and panic and will look to anyone or anything to cling to.  Resist the temptation to want to rescue any able bodied being!  Have detached compassion, bless the situation and keep your ship on course for the journey you have charted for yourself.  By doing this you will act as a beacon of hope for others that they can learn from.  Show the world what you are made of by living your truth with as much passion and vigor as you can, whatever your truth is.  Be resilient, bend but do not break.  The more one listens to their heart the more they have to live in integrity and with high ethics.  Eventually each of our efforts will trickle into all areas of society and transform our corporations and governments to a much higher level of functioning and stewardship than they so poorly emulate today.  As each of us transforms, the world we live in transforms.  It always comes from the grass roots up, never from the top!

     Starting February 19 (Chinese New Year)  begins the year of the Wood Goat.  This sign signifies Yin energy, peace, tranquility and most importantly harmonious co-existence.  The energy of this period will extend through the balance of 2015 and into the beginning of February 2016.  I have found that this system of interpretation is accurate especially in the context of the larger theme of energies on the planet.  While it is likely that the "8" energy I spoke of and the economic chess game being played will result in a lot of activity and the possible threat of war or wars breaking out, I believe this energy will be moderated by the yin energy of the goat year.  People are slowly coming to understand that we are all interconnected and all share the same planet and resources.  Cooperation will be seen as much more desired than military excursions and posturing.  When people have what they need, they rarely resort to war.  Let us focus on this.  There truly is enough for everyone.

     On a final note let's not forget Gaia, our Mother Earth.  She is doing her best to adjust to the changes of once again becoming 5th dimensional and she is eager to have her children (all of us) join her in harmony.  I mention this because my guidance suggested that it is important to bear in mind that the possibility exists that there may be an unexpected change that may disrupt some people for a while.  There has been a lot of volcanic activity along the Pacific "Ring of Fire" and earthquake activity has been regular, although it has seemed to be spread in many areas of the Earth.  It is not her intent to cause dramatic changes that could harm many.  I am merely passing along the message that she asks all of us to do what we can to support her.  It can be as simple as a prayer or just recycling your bottles and cans, or using less plastic.  She says that the all of her residents will appreciate this greatly.  Let us come more into harmony with all of the kingdoms of this beautiful planet.  And thanks for what you already do to remain mindful of our home.

     Happy New Year to you all.  May you be blessed with health and happiness and the opportunity to follow your heart's desires in 2015.

Change - New perspectives on how to do it in 2015

     Welcome back dear reader to our next installment of 5D Times where today we will be exploring the very hot topic of "change".  It is something we all do all of the time, yet we rarely take time to think about the process itself.  I'm writing this because it seems like something has changed (ha ha!) about the way we are experiencing life and many people are wondering what to do next.

     I have heard from many healers and writers on this topic that a lot of people are experiencing feelings like "I'm tired", "I'm confused", "I can't focus", "I'm no longer interested in the mundane".  These are some of the expressions that are challenging all of us in present time.  It's as if the flow of life we once knew has withdrawn itself and we are trying to get our bearings as to where we are and how to move forward.  So where are we in this moment?

     There is no one answer that fits all to the question.  Each of us is moving forward into a new way of being and living that really has no precedent in modern history.  Each of us is unique, like no two snowflakes are exactly alike, neither are we.  What we do have in common is that each of us is on a journey called "human life" and we are doing it on a planet that has shifted energetically into the 5th dimension.  This is creating new opportunities to experience life in a more expanded way, if we are willing to go into the unknown and claim more of who we are.  That is to say, if we continue to do things the old way we will continue to experience frustration and results that that leave us wanting.

     The reason that many are feeling confused, frustrated, distracted, etc. is that we need to put more energy and effort into becoming more complete in our awareness of who we are.  Also, there are parts of us that would be perfectly happy to not have any change occur at all.  This is reflected in our society socially, politically and economically.  Conversely we also are seeing new changes crop up like grass through cracks in concrete.  There is much being discussed about being more in balance with the planet by creating alternative energy sources that are non-polluting or at least much less polluting.  There is more awareness about the food we eat and how it is produced and the rise in the organic movement over the last 20 years shows many are paying attention to what they eat.

     For the most part we have been trained to follow the institutions and systems of life, such as the government, religions, corporations, etc.  Now there is great questioning going on about whether these can really lead us forward.  They cannot.  They still serve a purpose and that purpose is likely going to be subject to quite a bit of revision in the coming years.  People sense this, therefore there is fear.  "What are we going to do if the so and so stops functioning?"  Hence, the fear of change.   It is driven by the physical, mental and emotional parts of ourselves.  However the spiritual part of ourselves is wanting change, is wanting expression and is wanting creation.

     There is an old saying "There are those that make things happen, those that watch things happen, and those who wonder what the heck just happened."  It remains true in the present, and it all depends on how conscious you wish to be.  You have a choice in this matter, and there is no right/wrong about it.  It comes down to what feels comfortable to you.  It is a challenge to go to your "edge" as they say and expand yourself to a greater degree.  In this expansion we can allow space for new creation to occur.

     In the 5th dimension, it is all about living on vibrant energy (l.o.v.e.).  Our Etheric energy is a part of the equation that adds up to l.o.v.e. and we need to learn about it, get it touch with it consciously and start using it.  It is where change comes from!  I was reading an article recently where the author said "all change really comes from the future".  How can that be?  Isn't there only the present?  Well, in the higher vibrations time-space doesn't exist as we experience it, so yes, we can and we do "seed the probabilities" of our individual future that then resonates into the present.  The past can still bleed through if we are not willing to take our power, and we call that karma, or fate.  Remember, the point of power is the present moment.

     What has happened is that the old energetic underpinnings of the way we have lived and worked for several thousand years has quietly, almost imperceptibly slipped away.  This is why there is confusion, frustration, etc.  No one said it would be easy!  With the 5th dimension firmly in place, supporting living on vibrant energy it makes perfect sense to familiarize oneself with the new equation.  The first part of this is the etheric, and it is not something you are unfamiliar with either.

     The etheric can be described as part of your non-physical energy.  It is the energy body closest to the physical body and it can be seen with a bit of practice.  It is also seen in nature.  If one relaxes their eyes it can appears as a vibrating haze around plants and trees, even rocks.  To me it is the indication that everything is energetic and vibrating and physical solidity is actually more of an illusion.  You can connect with your etheric energy through imagination, which is a form of active meditation that most of us enjoy.  When one combines their imagination with their heart energy (i.e. sustained passion and excitement) they are performing an alchemical process that will return to them as a reality experienced at some point.

     What I am saying is that we need to take a look at exercising our imaginations on a more regular basis to tap into the larger part of who we really are.  The present world would like to have us believe that all of our needs can be met by our electronic devices and many are somewhat distracted by the overwhelming input of entertainment, information and instant access that it has gotten to the point of overload.  The electronic world is useful, and like all things it is good in moderation.  Once we are able to connect with our etheric energy and combine it with our heart energy (passion) then we are once again on our way to moving forward.  This, I believe is where many of us are presently residing.  We are searching for our passion, our purpose.  We are to one degree or another, claiming our creator energy.  There is no judgement in this, it is just that being more conscious allows us each to have more power in our lives.

     The holiday season is upon us once again and it is a perfect laboratory for each of us to practice using our energy to create an enjoyable time with family and friends.  Many of us gather multiple times this month to celebrate, so why not make it fun using your energy to seed outcomes you prefer?  Sit with yourself for a few minutes each day for the next week, quietly imagining in as great a detail as you can the positive feelings and interactions you wish to experience.  Imagine that your vibration is so high that you radiate l.o.v.e. wherever you go and people can feel it.  Visualize yourself inside a perfect geometry, such as a crystal or an energy construction such as an octahedron or merkaba and that as you go through the holidays no negative energies will be able to "hook into" you.  If you do this you'll find that your interactions with others will be much much more pleasant.  Imagine yourself in good health and cheer too.  Doing this you are combining imagination with your desire (heart energy).  Really feel it as much as possible as being true for you, with no doubt in your mind that you deserve this experience.  You do!  Do this practice for 5 or 10 minutes by yourself, undisturbed for 5-7 days.  Then forget about it and go on with your life as you normally do.  Don't wonder what will happen or if it will happen.  Trust.  Trust.  Trust, and release it to G-d or the Universe or whatever you'd like to call it.  I am certain that if you do this with focused intent and release it, you will have a great holiday and new year and you will start 2015 empowered to use this skill in the coming year to create other things you want.

   See how you may be already preparing for the holidays by thinking with anticipation of the events you will attend and the interactions you will have.  By just focusing this process you are already using just a bit more, your results will be magnified greatly.  It is also important to point out that this is a good time to connect more with the wisdom of our heart.  It is our greatest gift, and is something that can never be turned into a mere computer algorithm.  Work to relax the mental side of yourself, something that we are all using too much these days.  Feel your fuller potential expand as you work consciously on all parts of your beautiful Self.  You are the gift this season.  Make it so.


Blessings,

Robert
   

Your ascension journey - Polarity or Oneness, which is it?

     There is a push/pull we all experience in life.  Everyone feels it almost every day.  It has everything to do with our ascension journey.  It is a defining energy of the human experience on Earth.  What is it?  The yin/yang.  This symbol has been around for quite a long time in human history, originating in China around the 4th century BCE.  It is attributed to ancient Chinese thought believed to have come from Lao Tzu, the creator of the I Ching.

     Look at the symbol itself.  It consists of a dark and a light portion, with one portion of each other's color in a smaller circle within the opposing color.  Very simple, yet very profound.  When I first became familiar with it years ago, like many I thought it to be strongly associated with the dance between masculine and feminine, the divine interplay between the sexes.  While this association is correct, it stops short of the greater meaning of yin/yang.

     Yin/yang is the dance of polarity.  It is light vs. dark, woman/man, self/other, known/unknown and etc..  It is recognizable all across the planet as having meaning to all people in one way or another, all describing polarity.  Polarity describes the unseen forces that interpenetrate our world, driving our cars, running our computers, it is our experience.  What if anything, does polarity have to do with Ascension and the concept of oneness that so many hold in their hearts and minds?

     Take the metaphor of two magnets.  When you place similar polarities together they repel one another.  When you put opposite ones together they attract instantly, while maintaining their uniqueness as separate objects.  So it is with energy of all sorts, when the alignment is correct, there is an instant pulling together to connect and create a bond.  When the alignment is not complementary polarities, then there is a resistance to joining.  This concept is seen at conception, where to distinct parts of complementary energy then combine to create something entirely new.  Herein lies the physical representation of transformation.

     Our ascension journey, many of whom marked the initial date of Dec. 21, 2012, is a process of coming to know and understand ourselves in a new way, to act with our own inner complementary forces to birth new creation in our lives.  It is not something that is bestowed upon us from beyond.  The Earth is fertile with the new vibration of the 5th dimension.  In some areas of the world this is very apparent, yet in others it is less obvious.  Yet it IS happening.  We are individually and collectively moving forward each day!

     As I am writing this it is October 2014 and we are in the middle of the energetic occurrence of the eclipse of the full moon, with another one to follow on the 23rd.  Eclipses are symbolic of cutting things off that do not serve, a sort of short-circuit of energy on the planet.  The bulk of this latest eclipse focused on the Pacific ocean area and North America, two places that have known much geologic change over the last thousands of years.  While the physical Earth is in transformation to a "new" vibration, one not seen in many thousands of years, so are we at the cusp of transformation as humans.  What does this look like and how does one recognize it in one's life?

     It has been said that doing things the same way expecting it to turn out differently is the definition of insanity.  And within us there is a part of who we are that wants it to be safe and comfortable, not changing and predictable.  However, we also know that change happens all of the time.  For example, in the larger world there are many military and political and religious conflicts going on.  These are unsettling but if we take a closer look we can see the dance of polarity.  Those who say to another, "This is my way and it is the only way" end up trying to assert their will upon the other.  And the result?  War.  As we continue to look at something outside of ourselves as necessary to maintain our way of life, so then we embrace the belief of scarcity and win-lose.  No one wants to lose, so then the fight is on!

     We are in the energies of the 5th dimension, which has everything to do with living on vibrant energy.  While we continue to move into this, we are still beset with "old habits" of viewing the world and our relationship to it and other people from a 3rd-4th dimensional space which is all about separation and duality.  It is part of the experience of being human, the unique individuality we all embody as individuals is quite different than the experience of the spiritual aspects of self, which we also embody.

     Ascension in a way has seemed like an escape, we could do enough to be granted the right to live in a higher vibrational life, lifted up from the lower vibrations of conflict, separation and generally bad behavior ;).  Ascension into peace and oneness of all things, yes?  Novels have been written such as the "Left Behind" series where one day a huge segment of the "worthy" just disappear from Earth and the rest are left to deal with the trials and tribulations to come.  Clever idea, but I am not buying it!  Indeed we are, for the most part, all still here, still wanting ascension while experiencing a world of polarity.  What do we do?

     If you want to heal the world, heal yourself.  A very apt saying that fits quite well for each of us.  The same goes for the saying if you want love, love yourself first.  It all begins within each of our own "worlds" of self.  Polarity is expressed within each of us through our experience of self via our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves.  These are real and distinct aspects of each of us.  So then what is the hold up, why can't we just merrily rocket ourselves forward and up the spiral to a better condition?  -Polarity.  When we are not aligned within ourselves we will choose to re-create life as it is.

     What is the impetus to be more, to do more?  It is the spiritual self, that part of us which is our ever present link to the other side, the non-physical dimension of existence.  It is where we sprang from and where we will reconnect to after we are complete with our present lives.  I've written often about our birthright being love, being joy.  If it is our birthright then why don't we always have it?  It is because we are needing to continue to work to attain the creative joining of our spiritual selves with that part of us which we know as the human.  And we do do this when we open our hearts to ourselves, to our healing, to love, to our passions.  Living in a 5th dimensional space requires us to practice conscious connection and alignment with ourselves as truly a family of consciousness that has distinct members.  Honor the spiritual aspect of yourself because it is from that space that the new comes.  It is from the alignment of the human that we are with the spiritual, while we exist in the now of being on the planet which is the crucible of ascension.  Ascension is a universal process and it is a very personal process as well.

     It is very true to say that we are in a period of years where we will each be invited (or challenged) to let go of that which is old energy, old ways of being and doing.  Especially in this month of October 2014 we have an opportunity to find fertile ground for going within and asking ourselves the question "How is it that I really wish to experience my life?"  Do you wish the same-old, same-old or do you want something else?  Often in the past, most of us would just give the default answer that whatever we were involved with was enough, and that worked.  In present time this default (old school) way of doing things is working less and less.  While some will cling to keep things like the "good old days", time and transformation waits for no one!

     Returning to the concept of the yin-yang, let's look at it as the interplay between our human self here on Earth, and our spiritual self, represented by our spiritual being of consciousness which is connected to our soul via our higher selves and the etheric energy that is part of us.  Right now, many of us, including myself, are in a pitched battle of old vs. new, not appreciating that on some other level it is already One!  Kind of funny when I think of it that way :).  We're still experiencing struggle and conflict of one sort or another, so let's find a way to mediate this inner conflict expressed in our outer world's by conscious choice instead of default.  The simplest ways we can contact our spiritual selves is through prayer and meditation.  The next thing to do is to pay attention to the messages that your physical self is sending - the aches, pains and discomforts, or the well-being.  Pay attention to your emotional self.  Are you feeling peaceful and expanded or are you tense and angry?  Pay attention to your mental self.  Are you distracted by too much work, too much entertainment (tv, internet, etc.) or are you happily engaging new projects?  Begin to value yourself as capable and deserving of more in your life if you choose it.  Of course at first it is difficult, and it is easy to fall back into old patterns and ways of being.  If you or I want more we must consciously work to balance these polarities of human and spirit to bring forth the new ideas each of us have that are waiting to be experienced, to be born into our lives.  This is what ascension is.  It is the conscious intention plus actions toward creating which unites the polarities into new creation.

     In this period of the rest of 2014, take some time to appreciate your journey in a new way.  Allow yourself space to seed and harvest new ideas for yourself.  Take action on insights, whether they be in dreams, meditation or while singing in the shower :)  The more love we bring in for ourselves the lighter and happier our lives get.  In these times of great change this sounds appealing to me!  I hope it does to you as well.  Remember, mediate the energies within yourself.  Invite your spiritual source in whatever way you want to name it, and take action.  Each of us that does this moves us one step further into claiming our space in 5th dimensional Earth.  I'll leave you with a few lines from the Tao Te Ching, written 25 centuries ago:

In Tao the only motion is returning.
The only useful quality, weakness.
For though all creatures under Heaven are the product of Being,
Being itself is the product of Not-being.

Blessings to you on your journey,


Robert



   

Depression can be healed - Your natural state is joy!

     Greetings and welcome back to another exploration of health and wellness via 5D principles!   Today we will focus on a topic that affects many people and has great promise to be healed, yet it is running rampant through society with many negative effects.  It is depression.  It can also be termed mild anxiety, melancholy, sadness, etc.  All of these feelings have been with humanity for thousands of years and impact many.  Some use it as a gift to propel themselves into creative expression and others fall prey to its grip, it is feeling energy that we can harness to move ourselves forward into better states of being if we only apply simple practices and tools.  Let's go on a little exploration of this, shall we?

     As I am writing this article it has only been a few days since the well-known and beloved comedian Robin Williams passed away.  This event, as sad as it is, is his biggest and best gift to us all.  Why?  Because it has brought this topic to light and many people are now willing to talk about it and write about it.  This event will help spur conversations that will save countless lives and I want to add my thoughts and feelings to the mix to share it with you so maybe you can help yourself or another.  

     What is depression?  Basically, it is a feeling state of lower energy that is brought on by an imbalance of our emotional self with the physical self and mental self to a lesser degree.  One phrase that has stuck with me for years is "Anger turned inward is depression".  It is a strong energy.  As I have written in other articles we each are a family of consciousness, and when we are not balanced in that family then we have things happen like sickness and depression.  These are signals for us to take action to bring ourselves back into balance so that we can resume living life in a lighter, happier state of being, which is our birthright!

     Presently in the USA it is estimated that 40% of the population has experienced some form of depression in their lives, often short-lived but also sometimes for many years.  Millions of people take anti-depressant medication.  While this may help people in the short run, it is likely not a solution to the messages you are receiving from your emotional and physical selves.  That message is "come back into balance", do not just mask the feelings!  

     Why is evidence of this seeming to be on the rise?  I believe it is for two reasons.  First, we have become out of balance in our understanding of health-especially emotional health.  This has resulted in not caring for ourselves in the best possible way, leaving us vulnerable to anxiety and depression.  We currently live in a society that cares little about the well-being of the whole and seems hell-bent on ignoring the issue.  Second, we are going through the midst of a shift of consciousness individually to integrate both the head and heart as we move further into the energies of 5D.  What this means is that as we come into balance with our hearts and minds and not have one dominate the other we are going through a cleansing on a personal, societal and planetary level.  The degree to which we can attend to ourselves first will be the degree to how we can assist others.  It is like when you're on an airplane and they give you the safety talk before the flight and tell you if the oxygen masks fall place it on yourself first and then assist others.  Being in wellness is going to become even more important in coming years as the energies continue to accelerate.  

     Things are coming to the surface both individually and collectively that need healing.  We heal the collective by healing ourselves first!  As I mentioned, depression is an imbalance of our energies primarily resulting from anger.  Anger is a derivative of fear.  So, in essence we heal our fear and will will naturally come back into balance with our natural state as beings of love (living on vibrant energy), instead of living on very low or "dead" energy.  Why are we so angry?  It is because on some level we were not "heard" when we extended ourselves in love and what happens is we bury those feelings until one day, maybe years later it reaches a point where we cannot function as happy people and we feel depressed.  Learning to attend to ourselves as spiritual beings living in physical bodies requires effort that few of us are fully equipped to address.

     It has been said by many who write about the ancient civilizations of Lemuria and Atlantis that each of those civilizations devoted much energy and attention to remaining in balance.  They were reputed to have built many healing temples all over the planet that they used to keep themselves in optimal balance.  They used different types of natural vibrational remedies such as crystals and plant essences and sound healing along with energy work to keep themselves aligned with their higher selves while they were on their Earthly journey.  I believe that they were so much more closely in contact with the greater reality of existence and wanted to maintain that connection that they believed they had to maintain themselves in order to stay in the strongest contact with it.  Some say that the pyramids in Egypt weren't burial chambers, they were sophisticated tools for healing and balancing the human being and the planet itself!  Today we only have a glimmer of understanding of this larger reality so we don't address our need to connect to it as strongly, but that is changing!

     It is a gift to live on a planet where we have emotional selves and we can feel.  That being said, it is also a challenge, as many of us know!   The Abraham energy channeled by Esther Hicks explains that we can look at our feelings as a guidance system, that it allows us contrast so that we can choose what we want and what we don't want in our lives.  I feel the truth of that, do you?  It is also important to note that feelings follow thoughts we have, therefore we are not a victim of our feelings but a creator of them!   This is where it gets tricky, because these thoughts create our beliefs and if they are not addressed can literally broadcast messages to us that no longer serve us and instead create feelings of sadness, a loss of hope or even severe depression.   Many of us have the experience of something happening in the past that still affects us today without knowing how to heal it.  This is a very frustrating proposition indeed.  Now I will go into some practical ways we can use to improve our circumstances and experience more of the love and joy that is who we really are.

     What I have to say about helping yourself is always centered on the belief that we each are the ones who heal ourselves.  It can be boiled down to two main points.  First, release what no longer serves you.  Second, invite in what you want in your life.  You have to do the first part in order to make space for what you want, it is not a step you can skip over.  One of my teachers says over and over "You can't take your baggage with you!"  This is very true because in the higher vibrating reality of 5D which we all touch occasionally it is all about love.  To raise our vibration we have to provide "fertile soil" where we can grow ourselves and that means getting rid of toxins!

     Toxins are everywhere right now but that doesn't mean you can't improve the health of your body tremendously.  Without a healthy body, happiness is almost impossible.  Improving what you eat is essential.  I am not going to go into all the details around a healthy diet- there are plenty of people who have devoted their lives to this question.  The main point is to eat preferably organically grown foods, no processed foods(they have almost no life-force and are full of chemicals!)  Improving your diet will be the foundation of your healing.  By eating better you give your body a chance to heal and feel better.  The second part of releasing involves simplifying your life.  It was said that part of what pushed Robin Williams over the edge was tremendous financial problems - even though he had made millions in his career.  Keep your life simple and you will sleep well at night.  Be known for the love you radiate and your service to others and not the things you own.  

     I want to emphasize that releasing what no longer serves will take determination and effort.  Getting back into balance will take some time.  It took time to get into a poor state too, didn't it?  A lot of us have attachments to ways of being and lifestyles that just do not make sense for our well-being.  Much of this is perpetrated by our culture of materialism which is blasted 24/7 all over the planet.  It is fine to have things in life, just make sure that if they become a burden you can release them.  Trust that when you are in your highest flow everything you need will be provided to you at the perfect time.  

     While you are going through this process of releasing and cleansing physically it is also essential to address the emotions that have been buried within.  You can do this alone (most difficult path), or you can join with others - healers, healing communities, etc. where you can work on it with support.  This can take the form of conventional or alternative therapies(I recommend alternative whenever possible).  When we're healing we're shifting our vibration and it's best to do that in a natural manner and not through artificial means.  I myself have been working with essential oils as part of my healing work and have found it to be very powerful and easy to do.  (I'll have more to tell you about that next time, it's very exciting!)  

     Inviting what you want in your life is also something to spend some heart time on.  As you cleanse you'll make space and you want to put good things back in, right?  You'll have to listen to your heart and act on what it wants, not ignoring it's messages.  By paying attention to your heart's desires you'll increase it's ability to connect with you and give you signals to act upon.  Start with something easy, like what you'd really like to do next weekend if you could do anything.  Developing this dialogue with your heart and acting upon it is the new path we're all moving to live on, so why not?  Living from the head won't cut it where we're all going.  

     This is a big topic and I hope I've inspired you to take some time to fine tune yourself so that you can live with a little more happiness.  Remember, we live on a free-choice planet and even if you're an angel in disguise you can still choose how to express your life.  Also, if you're under a doctor's supervision for depression follow their advice, remembering that it is you that has the power to heal and it is you who can make the choice as to how that all looks.

     I'll leave you with a little quote by Joesph Addison that I have on my desk for easy viewing: " The grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."  I wish that for each and every one of you.  May you all take one more step forward and up the spiral of life!

Blessings,

Robert

Stay tuned, my next article will be focused on using essential oils to promote wellness, ease depression and pain with an exciting new technique created by Dr. Norm Shealy.  I'll be holding a class on it in Austin soon, so don't miss it if you're nearby :)

     

     

You are the Gift!

     Greetings once again dear reader and fellow travellers on the path we call life on planet Earth.  I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer season here in the northern hemisphere.  It's hot here in Austin Texas as usual for this time of year but I don't mind, thank goodness for air conditioning!  Today I want to share with you thoughts about who we are and why we are to keep you focused on your path into the new energy of the 5th dimension.

     No one said it would be easy to come back and be here during this time period.  I've often heard from people "This is my last lifetime, I'm never coming back!"  Even I have said this at times, yet I am here and so are you, so let's see if we can make our experience a bit more pleasant, shall we?

     I believe that those who will read this already know that they have chosen to have this current experience of life with all of its ups and downs and are looking for a way to make it easier and more joyful and yet continue to struggle at times to get to that state where everything is all right and flowing well.  I also believe that many of you are healers in your own right.  Some of you may heal as a profession and others of you may work in ordinary jobs and heal within your communities of family, friends and work.  It all counts!

     Many of us can often get drawn into the drama of the world at large.  Right now it's focused on Israel and the Palestinians and the fighting in Gaza, or it's the situation in the Ukraine with the terrible tragedy of the downed airliner.  Or it's the huge typhoons hitting Asia causing all sorts of havoc.  Take your pick, there seems to always be a crisis or disaster.  Of course also there is the ongoing political and economic struggles across the world.  All one has to do is turn on the news and there it is.  Maybe we are wired to see these events?  Watching people gawk at an auto accident as they drive by certainly supports my theory.  I believe that indulging in these types of things is a habituated response to fear, and now that we're in the 5th dimension it is really all about love (Living on vibrant energy).

     Remember from my previous articles that we can use fear as a tool to get us where we really want to go- our natural state as beings of love.  The two acronyms I like are:  Focus the Energy to Alter the Results and false evidence appearing real (F.E.A.R.).  It seems like we've got a long way to got to really be living all the time as beings of love, would you rather stay in fear?  Not I!  To do this we do have to make conscious efforts to make choices about what we let into our lives and what we do not, it is that simple.

     To be a being of love, living on the vibrant energy of who we truly are, takes some effort.  It requires of us to listen to ourselves and all of the energies via thoughts and feelings that course through us every day, and to act towards creating a better flow and balance within ourselves.  Each week, each month we are all being persistently nudged to take more responsibility for ourselves and our wellness.  Personal responsibility is the hallmark of the energies we are now living in and will continue to live in.  Unless you have minor children you are only truly responsible for yourself.  Your lover, your boss, your parents, etc. are not responsible for you.  Of course you can share your life with these people and enjoy harmony with them but it is each of our journeys to walk.

     I titled this article "You are the gift" because I want you to know that each and every one of you ARE the gift to this planet at this time.  If you knew more of who you really are in the higher realms you would not doubt this at all!  Many of you are great souls who purposely volunteered to come into life to assist in all sorts of ways.  Even if you end up accomplishing things that aren't easily seen or acknowledged by others you are making a difference just by being on the planet at this time.  Seriously, I mean this!  Resist the temptation to "beat yourself up" that you aren't accomplishing things according to the current standards of life.  We live in a time where the last throes of materialistic culture are screaming at us from all quarters.  Sensationalism, glamour and excess of all sorts fill our TV's, phones and computers.  It's as if we're being deliberately distracted from tuning into our inner guidance.  We're not, by the way.  There are no evil controllers pulling the puppet strings of society in a rigged game.  Yes, there are those souls who have gone off the path into negativity, and there are present also souls of great light and love who are doing great service.  Which do you choose to focus on?

     Focus on feeling good

     The best thing that any of us can do for ourselves is to focus on feeling good.  Here's why.  A large percentage of people do not feel well because we for the most part are living in a very unbalanced society with low spiritual conscious.  Have heart, because it is improving.  About 10 years ago it was estimated that about 6% of the people on the planet were considered conscious.  I checked with my guidance and it's now up to about 8% which is a tremendous improvement!  That still leaves over 90% of the world mostly unconscious.  They are going through life but have little willingness or understanding of being magnificent spiritual beings, so they are not acting like it and most of them probably won't.  There is a tipping point however and at the current rate of consciousness expansion we who are conscious and who are working to become more conscious will affect the collective.  I estimate that within 20 years there will be no doubt in any one's mind that things have changed for the better.  In the meantime we each must continue to stand tall and create our own islands of peace for ourselves.  We do not have to preach to others, just lead by example.  Tell stories about how you came through your own struggles and you can be a beacon of hope for someone.

    If you are not feeling good

     If you are not feeling good you have a choice.  You can stay in that feeling, hoping to "ride it out", or you can make a new choice to love yourself just a little bit more.  Do this for you, not anyone else.  It's estimated that currently in the USA approximately 40% of the population is suffering from some form of depression, anywhere from mild anxiety on up.  Why is this?   It is because we live in a dysfunctional society that does not value wellness of it's members.  Our current medical solution is talk therapy to anti-depressants and yet it doesn't seem to be healing people in great numbers.  It is keeping a lot of therapists employed and drug companies making profits!  Now if you're under the care of a physician I'm not telling you to fire them and throw away your medication.  I am telling you that you and you alone have the power to heal yourself.   Do you know what depression is?  It is stuck feelings that block the flow of energy in your body.  Most often it is anger or fear.  We learn from an early age to repress these feelings and hold onto them, burying them within our body and energy, and that seems to work, for a while.  But then we encounter another trigger a few years later and we can't hold it and we either act out or we go into a very low energy state we call depression.  We tell ourselves that money or possessions or a new partner will make it all better, yet we find that it is just a temporary bandage.

     Whole libraries of books have been written on this topic, and many more will be.  Healing ourselves for most of us is our main priority in coming to be on this planet.  Here's just a few tips for feeling better:

1) Get outside!  When was the last time you were barefoot or been swimming in a lake or the ocean?
     We are natural beings and spend way too much time indoors.  Getting outside in the sunshine increases your vitamin D levels which is really good for you.  Connecting with the earth with your body helps to balance the energetic bodies that surround each of us.  Go take a nap on a blanket at the beach or in a park, you'll be glad you did :).

2) Get connected!  Go visit your friends.  Have a get together.  If you don't have any friends then just go hang out somewhere and people watch.  We are social beings.  No man or woman is an island!  One of biggest indicators for people who live happy lives is to be connected to others.  I've had to prod myself over the years to get out and meet people and I'm glad for the times I have done this.  (It's the things we don't do that can gnaw at our self esteem and self worth.)

3) Learn how your body works!  Feed it sh-t and you'll feel like sh-t.  Get 7-8 hours of sleep every night if you can.  You know what is good for you and what isn't.  Own up to it.   If you need help finding resources on nutrition and exercise ask!  I'm amazed at how I can talk into my smart phone and it will pull up an answer to virtually any question I ask, how convenient!  ( please don't do this while driving or you'll crash!)
   
     I could go on but I'll stop with these 3 suggestions.  I am sure you have heard them before, but it is good to be reminded.  The point I am making is that our inner world is reflected in what we see in the outer world.  We all need to consciously increase our self-love consistently in these times of great change, and do not doubt we are in times of great change, and that is OK.  You are safe.  You are loved, and you are the Gift.

Thank you for joining me today, next time we will return to our regularly scheduled metaphysical musings.  I've got some really profound stuff on DNA and re-emerging forms of healing that I'm looking forward to sharing with you next time.  Until then, enjoy mid-summer.

Blessings,

Forget about Mercury retrograde, this is much bigger news!

     Welcome back to a special posting in 5D times, I am glad you are able to be here today!  I'm writing this post about Jupiter because it is right before us and I don't want you to miss out on catching the great wave of energy that this event will be bringing us in the next 12 months.  If you're as curious as I am, then I am sure you will be glad that you did!

     Currently we are in the midst of a retrograde Mercury period that goes until the end of this month of June 2014, while this is occurring an even more significant event is happening on the 19th of June - namely the transit of Jupiter into Cancer, its place of "exaltation" as they call it in astrology terms.  That means that after it's 12 year trip around the zodiac it is back in the best position energetically for all of us here on Earth.  Now this is going to bring some very big and powerful blessings to many people in the next year, and a few will have less powerful but pivotal experiences as well.  I'll get into that a little later.  Think back 12 years to the period of 2002-2003 and what was going on in your life at that time and you'll get a better idea of what may be in store for you if you allow it and go with the flow.  Remember, it is all about making the best possible choices for yourself as you go forward into these energies.

     Why are we talking about this?  It is because it is important to recognize and consider how our multiverse operates.  Everything is in cycles.  Energy moves in patterns that we can recognize.  These patterns are embedded within our own being down to the actions of our cells, and all the way up to the movements of planets and stars.  We are striving to become more conscious as 5D beings that we can interact with our reality on many levels.   We can influence the health of our cells and we can align harmoniously with the larger energetic cycles of our Solar system as well.  Second, the science of astrology (yes, it is a science in many respects)  has been with us and has been refined over many thousands of years.  It had paramount importance to virtually all ancient pyramid building cultures that we can study, and for good reason.  They knew that changes of the relative motion of planets had an impact on their lives.  It is also important to realize that many millions of people across Earth share in this belief, and the energetic impact of mass consciousness beliefs of so many do establish a strong energetic pattern.  This pattern or mass consciousness belief does have an influencing effect on the reality that we live in.  For these reasons I want to bring to your attention this significant shift which will impact all of our lives.

     This transit of Jupiter into Cancer begins June 19, 2014 and completes July 14, 2015.  As I said earlier, this new position for Jupiter will have generally positive to very positive effects for almost every person.  Jupiter is considered in Vedic astrology to be the planet of gifts, boons, blessings and general expansion in all areas.  It is cautioned, however that this does include the physical body, so we would all be wise to re-commit to a healthy diet and regular exercise!  The color yellow is very significant in this time.  It is said that wearing yellow sapphire during this period will assist in receiving the benefits of this transit.  Gold is also favored during this time.

     Here is some writing on the topic that I think is important to share:  "Specially significant also because it is a Thursday(Guruvaara), Jupiter transit in 2014 in Cancer throughout this year should bring a new angle to the blessings we receive from the guru(Jupiter) who comes in the form of teachers and guides."  Otherwise said any attempts to educate ourselves will go very smoothly during this time.   "While passing through the sign of it's exaltation, Jupiter can summon the faith that moves mountains."  "Jupiter transit is considered as very important in astrology since major events do happen only when ruling planets are favorable.  Jupiter strength is very important to achieve success in life, especially in marriage, birth of a new child, change in job, buying a new home, success in education or career, foreign travel, etc."  As you can imagine, the energy of this upcoming transit will support you in creating larger positive changes in your life.  A very welcome thing for many people, eh?

     We have recently passed through a Mars retrograde which I wrote about a while back, and we also went through a cardinal grand cross in April which is now waning.  These last few months have served to slow us down and re-assess the direction we are taking.  It has caused delays in projects and has not promoted focus or results.  The time we are now entering is quite the opposite.  Much will come about for us personally, the launching of career, relationship, expansion of all kinds comes now.  There will also likely be a speeding up of the appearance of significant world events.  This time period presently bears a strong similarity to the times of the early and mid 1960's as the outer planets of Neptune, Uranus and Pluto have moved into a position that portends large changes.  These effects will continue at least until 2025 and in my view this Jupiter transit will be kick-starting the energies.

     There are two ways to find the more tailored explanation of how this transit might affect you personally.  I prefer the Vedic astrology route, which I believe to be more accurate as it accounts for precession (otherwise known as the movement of the heavens over long periods of time).  The specific descriptions of how this will affect you is determined by what planet you have as your moon sign. Those with their moons in Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn are going to be exceptionally blessed in the next 12 months!  For more in depth information on the Vedic approach go to www.astroved.com 

     The Western astrological approach is nearly equally as strong.  It is based on what planet is ascendant at the time of your birth.  For example, those with ascendants planets in Virgo, Libra or Pisces are going to receive the best benefits from this transit.   For more free information about this track go to www.astro.com.

     I recommend that you pay attention to this upcoming period and choose to make the most of it.  I have found over the years that a careful analysis of one's chart can be very helpful in confirming your own intuition or gut feelings about any significant issue at hand.  These are universal to all of us - love, family, work.  In this sense we are often more similar in our challenges during life than we might think.  I invite you to take a half hour and explore your personal details about this upcoming transit.  I believe that most of us a year from now will be in gratitude for the unexpected blessing or blessings that came to us in this upcoming period.  I am excited for what is coming as it will really assist us personally and as a collective to get things moving forward that are so much needed.  I wish you joyful anticipation of this upcoming period and many happy blessings!


Om Gurave namaha!

-Robert




A final note:  As part of becoming a more conscious, more aware, more loving beings it is important to acknowledge as much as we love present day science, the ancient science of astrology is a powerful tool to use to assist us, do not discount it because the unfamiliar terminology may discourage you in your understanding.  Always trust your own heart and intuition as to whether or not follow or believe in anything that does not resonate with you.  I have chosen to speak of this upcoming event because its overall positive effects for all far outweigh the negative ones.  Please understand that we are only beginning to understand our place in this vast experience of consciousness, and that new understandings and paradigms can only emerge as we challenge the status quo of our day to day life and the things we believe.

Further clarification:  When you study this you will find that many western astrologers say that this movement of Jupiter into Cancer has already happened.  There is a reason for this, and it is precession.  Here is an explanation of why this difference exists that I found from Robert Koch, a Vedic astrologer:

Astronomical Differences between Western and Vedic Astrology

The basic difference between the two systems is that the Vedic zodiac is Sidereal and the Western is Tropical. In Sidereal astrology, the zodiac is aligned with 27 constellations, or fixed star groups. Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, aligns with the first constellation, called Aswini. In the tropical zodiac, the point in space when the Sun crosses the earth’s equator is the beginning point of the zodiac, or Aries.

The earth’s equator shifts backward through the signs of the zodiac at the rate of about 51″ of longitude per year. This is called “precession of the equinoxes.” Because of this phenomenon, the theoretical Aries of the western zodiac drifts further and further from the Aries used by Vedic astrologers — at the rate of about 1 degree every 72 years.

The tropical (Western), and the Vedic Aries were on the same zodiacal plane around 285 AD. Because of the precession of the equinoxes, at present, there is approximately a 23 degree difference. Thus all of the planets in a Vedic horoscope, including the rising sign, will be about 23 zodiacal degrees earlier than they would be in a Western chart.

     

Managing your energy- pt. 2 Know your personal space!

     Welcome back to another posting of 5D Times!  Today we're be focusing on "space" and what that means for us on our journey of evolution in these times.  The reason I have chosen this topic is that it is something each of us deal with every day of our lives.  It is so present to us that we take it for granted, not realizing that we have the opportunity as 5D beings to transform our space for greater personal happiness and joy.  So if that sounds interesting to you, by all means please read on!

     I often describe our total being to people is analogous to an iceberg.  The part we normally see and interact with is the part above the water.  The other 90% is unseen, below the water and it is just as important to us because it is part of us.  This unseen portion is our energy field, something that I will term as our etheric energy.   It is that part of us that healers of all types work with when they are interacting with clients.  It is a place to get to know and understand, so let's have a look at it shall we?

     In the above diagram you can see the stick figure holding her arms out inside of a cylinder of blue.  This is the etheric field that surrounds each of us.  I actuality it is more oval-shaped and it can vary in size from being very close to the body when we're in a stressed state, to being very expansive when we're holding a higher state of love and joy.  When we learn to master and manage our energy we can extend our personal field to a much larger size- many meters away from the body.  That can be very fun in the right kind of circumstances!

     I am sure that most of you have been in public and turned around when no one was there even though it felt like someone was tapping you on the shoulder.  Maybe you saw someone some distance away looking in your direction.  Either intentionally or not, that person had extended their energy to the edge of yours and gave you a little "hello".  Sometimes it is even spirit that do this as well, and it's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a reminder that we're always broadcasting our energy.  You can do this to others as well, you might be staring at someone facing away from you and then you see them suddenly turn around, looking in your direction.  In most cases they are responding to you sending your energy out to "touch" them and they felt it!  Wouldn't it be nice to be able to have more conscious control of this part of you?  The first thing you need to consider is setting your space.

     Setting your space can be as simple as a conscious intention that your energy field be clear and firm.  You can call in light to reinforce it, or you can use something called the Rose technique to clearly set the boundaries of your space.  (Refer to Managing your energy pt. 1 earlier in this blog for instructions.)  It is all about consciously interacting with your energy instead of just letting it be.  Moving into being 5D requires more conscious participation in your energy and this is the place to begin.  When you do this on a regular basis it will become nearly automatic and not require as much effort to set up.  You'll be able to just intend it and it will be so.  What are the benefits?  You will be claiming your personal space as your own and you will be significantly less susceptible to others negative thoughts and feelings from entering your space.  Those things will literally bounce off of your defined boundaries!  You will feel better when you are in groups of people, their discordant and undisciplined energy will again not affect you as much.  By consciously doing this on a regular basis you will be running your energy at a higher vibration.  Those of lower vibration will find it uncomfortable to be around you and will move away, those of like minded vibration will have no problems at all being near you.  In a way it will assist you to create a reality of being with more higher vibrating people and give you the opportunity for many more pleasant encounters!  Please try this and you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results!

     Now there is a caveat to this technique.  Unless you've completely cleared your energy of cords and attachments from others there may still be a "back door" where negative energies can get a foothold in your space.  This most often occurs between loved ones - family members, spouses, lovers or close friends.  These are people who we most often let into our intimate personal space, and sometimes without knowing it we allow them to attach themselves energetically to us in an unhealthy way.  Clearing these attachments can sometimes take a lot of work because they are often tied to old beliefs that we don't want to let go of even though they are no longer in our best interest.  Lets no go on to a discussion of our "internal" space and what we might be able to do to know it better.

     Your internal space is what you carry around with you every day.  Sometimes it feels light and great, and other times it may feel very heavy.  It is our body's nature to be in balance at all times and it works tirelessly to do this, but sometimes it needs more of our conscious assistance to do this.  Why?  A simple answer to this is that often our emotional selves are not in balance with our physical selves.  We literally store unresolved feelings and hurts from long ago within the energetic and cellular structure of our bodies and then it causes us to feel less and less.  It's kind of like a pipe that gets clogged from years of grease accumulating in it, yuck!

     It is said that in the days of Atlantis and Lemuria many thousands of years ago people were much more naturally tuned to their energy and took time every day to work to keep it in balance.  I believe that we as individuals are returning to that state of being.  Again, it takes conscious attention and a willingness to release these stuck energies.  And why do we want to do this if we're already feeling fairly well?  Wouldn't it be nice to feel even better?

     You truly know better than anyone what things you are holding onto that are blocking you.  Some are small and some blocks can seem so large that they affect your happiness to a large degree.  These blocks can only be released by you when you are truly ready to face them energetically through conscious intention, feel them and then release them.  The reason that we need to release blocks is that they take up internal space that limits our ability to bring in the good things we so desperately want to experience.  Blocks are a tool designed to get us to understand there are limits to our energy and that we must work to maintain it before we can work to expand it.  It is part of evolution.  In my own experience I have had to work very hard to release blocks in my life, however as the years have gone on and I've become more confident about the process, it has become much easier.  And it will for you too as you take responsibility for your space.  It is essential as a 5D being to continue to work to take 100% responsibility for what is occurring in your life.  To learn how and when to make new choices and more conscious choices is what this is all about.  If you wish to go through life in an unconscious or semi-conscious manner you have little hope of improving your life situation.  However since you are reading this I am certain that you ARE conscious and wish to be more in control of your life.  So here's a technique or two that will assist you to clear out some of that old stuff in your energetic space so you can make room for all of those new and good things you want, OK?

     The first technique is fairly well known.  Before you begin either of these first get yourself in a quiet place where you won't be disturbed for at least 30 minutes.  Light a candle or bring out your favorite crystals or items that connect you to the spiritual realm.  Ground yourself, imagining you are connected to the center of the Earth like you are a tree growing roots.  Feel that energy.  Now, imagine the branches of that tree you are reaching up to a beautiful sunny sky.  Again, feel that connection and the energy that is supporting you.  This is very important and do not gloss over it.  In the feeling lies the living energy.  It is what is going to assist you and you must open to it for it cannot enter you without invitation.

     Sit or lie down while you are doing this.  Once you've set the space as described, bring up the issue in your feelings so it becomes present to you.  Healing happens in the present, even if something happened 40 years ago or 4000 years ago!  Again get into feeling the situation.  It might be an ex-lover, spouse or friend.  It might be a traumatic incident from childhood.  It could be any number of things, we just know that it doesn't feel good and you want it gone!  Now, you can do one or two things.  I recommend you do them both.   First, call in your spiritual source, your healing guide or whatever you would like to call it.  You can say " I call in the being of only Light and Love that is best able to assist me to remove this issue/block".  Wait a few moments while you are in the midst of still feeling the issue and then imagine it energetically lifting out of your body.  You are doing this part.  Then, imagine this being taking this energetic tangle as you hand it off to them and feel it leaving you.  If you do this with true conviction you will feel yourself much lighter in that moment.  Sit or lay quietly as you might be more emotional than normal.  Once this is done and it can take just a few minutes to a few seconds, imagine yourself being bathed in healing light of whatever color you like.  I prefer gold or rose myself but you can choose whatever comes to mind and it will be perfect for you.  Second, for particularly troublesome attachments your can call in the assistance of Archangel Michael.  Yes, he is real and yes, he has the time to assist you because you're worth it!  Again, while you are in position, think about the issue you want released.  For example, a recent bad break-up with a lover is one where there are often cords and connections that were energetically literally ripped out of you.  Or you might unconsciously still hold a piece of your energy connected to that person.  You'll know either way if you're feeling broken hearted, or if you are thinking of that person when you do not want to anymore.  Remember, you have the right to your personal space and the responsibility to keep it clear.  With great intention and belief, ask Michael to cut the cords that bind you to this person or situation you no longer want in your life.  Imagine him, all regal and confident striding up to you and pulling out his huge sword and in one swoop cutting those cords and attachments!  Once you've successfully done this you may feel emotional or a bit disoriented for a time, but do not worry.  You are doing great work in clearing your space and you will receive assistance!

     As I always like to say, finding a qualified healer who has worked through a lot of their own issues is a great ally to have as a facilitator if you feel that you do not want to do this work alone.  I am saying that you can do it on your own.  Never buy into the idea that someone else will fix you, they won't.  They can help you and often that's some very sweet and touching human interaction of healing, so keep that in mind.   Also, I would like to add that you must be absolutely clear when cutting cords or clearing old issues that you do not want them anymore, otherwise they'll be like a weed that pops back up in your life.  You've got to get the root of it out!   An example I can share is this.  I was getting over a particularly difficult relationship where I was blind-sided and betrayed.  I still felt hope to continue the relationship even though it was clearly over.  I did these techniques several times and they did not work, because I was still holding onto what could have been.  After several long months of processing I finally got to the point where I was ready to release those old stories.  Once I did that and cleared it out of my energetic space a few months later came along a very pleasant new relationship.  Again, clearing old stuff makes room for the new and better to come in.  It takes self-honesty and bravery, and trust me that is much better than suffering long term emotional pain.  There's really no point to being a martyr or a victim in 5D because when we're fully there it is all about love (living only vibrant energy).

     I hope that today's article has got you thinking about your personal space, and considering making an attempt to manage it more consciously.  We are all on a path of healing and having space is elemental and essential for anyone who wishes to heal themselves and move on to the next step in their path of life.  I give thanks to my non-physical friends K, and others who have provided assistance to me in understanding this more deeply so I can share it with all of you.   I wish you well on your path, may you make the effort to clear your space so you can take that next giant step forward in your life to be the unique loving being that you truly are.
