For so long(really long!) we've been experiencing life as a sequence from birth to death, and all of the adventures!? in between, yet there's more to know and more to feel, if you'll only allow it for yourself.
There's so many dramas in a person's life that can distract from the truth of their being. What is this truth? You are always loved and always cared for! I'm not going to go into the multitude of reasons why a soul might incarnate an aspect into the Earth plane, suffice it to say that if you're reading this then you have come for learning and fun. Nobody said that all of the learning would be easy tho'!
There's so much speculation about 2012 and what that means. So much uncertainty, so many challenges to the status quo, on a personal and global level. Even the planet herself is feeling it. So much information - everyone seems to be on the verge of overload!
Do you know who you are?
Let's take a moment, on a scale of 1-10 in knowing yourself, pick a number. Me, I say about 5.0. How about you? I like where I'm at because I give myself a basis of the knowing I've accumulated in 48 years, yet I know there's much more I can discover! It doesn't matter what number you've chosen for yourself, because in the coming years you are going to know a lot more about you! Why, you ask? Because you are being LOVED into it. Even now, you have the choice.
What do I mean when I say "you are being loved into it"? This is the essence of this moment on Earth, it is a shift in perception, a shift in dimensions that is before us. We can ignore it, deny it, fight it - that's a choice. Or we can embrace it and step into our own personalized flow with it. That's why I've chosen to write - it's part of being in my flow. Let me explain further. Dimensions are different qualities of perception. Currently we're in the midst of a shift (a metamorphosis so to speak) from the 3rd thru the 4th and into the 5th dimension of our awareness. The 3rd and 4th dimensions are all about the interplay of love and fear. In the 3rd dimension it's all about duality, the black and white, either/or proposition. In the 4th dimension it's about love. Fear is used as a tool of understanding and motivation. It helps point us back to the truth, which is love. Now I don't mean the romantic sentiment of love, but a vibration of living it in each moment.
The 5th dimension is all about living your love in each moment, fear cannot exist at this point because it no longer serves us as we've moved on and spiraled up to our next level of experience. This is why so much attention has been placed on "raising our vibrations", "ascension", etc. It's because it is the next step! There are many things we can do to feel this, to feel more of who we are. We can eat healthier food, exercise more (do only things you enjoy, don't force it!), let go of toxic relationships or an unfulfilling job - it won't serve you anyway in the long run no matter how much money you're paid!
Less is more! When we leave this life, the question we'll be asking ourselves is "How did I love?", it won't be "Did I collect the most stuff?" So start now, I implore you - in any small or great way, just love yourselves a little more. You see, this is SO important. It's the crux of this article. It all happens within you and thru you. December 21, 2012 will come and go and we'll still be here. Accept yourself as you are and make choices each day from where you're at. I explain to people that what's occurring is more of a descension of more of you coming into being here on Earth because we've chosen it. Remember, we only use 5-10% of our brain and physical capacity. Imagine what would happen if that was doubled for all of us in the matter of a few years! To handle this upgrade, this increase, requires personal responsibility, a trait that our current society seems to want to breed out of us. Take responsibility for yourself, release what no longer serves you!
In my experience personally and as a healer I've found that we hold onto a lot of old, stuck energy - resentments, hurts, betrayals, etc. that we are not even that aware of most of the time. Go find a healer or therapist or coach you feel good working with and let them assist you to move forward. If you've been burying a lot you'll know because you'll be experiencing physical or emotional health problems, so that is your cue to do something! Take loving yourself to be your most important responsibility.
Simplify your life. This is the mantra of the 5th dimension. Less IS more. Start with your internal world, do some house cleaning with yourself and then take it to your literal home. When you do this you'll be amazed at how much more energy you have. Your dreams for yourself will once again come into focus and you'll be able to make choices for yourself that might have felt out of reach for a long time. You don't have to save the world. You don't have to even worry about the economy, the government or any of that. Those are just distractions.
Feed yourself, love yourself.
We need more dreamers - those who hear their dreams, those who are ready to live the truth of the love that is in their heart. Will you join us, the dreamers of dreams of joy?

Managing your energy pt. 1
In our current environment we are bombarded with so many things to pay attention to outside ourselves, yet are we spending any time to pay attention to that which is within us? It's important to develop a practice of familiarizing yourself with yourself on a new level as we move through changes and into transformation.
Today I'd like to begin a discussion of managing your energy. This will provide you with some basic tools and techniques for knowing what is yours and what's not. Yes, it's true, a lot of the thoughts and beliefs you have aren't yours. Do you wish to feel what it would be like to live more from your center? Each step one takes to claiming their own energy and operating from their center makes life better for all, and is a building block towards creating a 5th dimensional experience on planet Earth.
All of life is interconnected. There are books, movies, songs and all manner of expressions about this, yet many of us doubt this, as it has been obscured to an extent in our daily lives. It is very practical to work towards bringing this into our day to day lives-the place where we spend our greatest attention. Many of us tap into this state occasionally, and why not imagine doing it from moment to moment? That would be a power filled and powerful place to come from as we meet each day knowing we create it now.
To start let's review the body system. First, you are a being of energy/spirit that is inhabiting a body. This body is your vehicle, your chosen mode of expression in our reality. We are intimately connected to our bodies and yet there is more. Second, we have a mental body. We think, (cogito ergo sum-I think therefore I AM) we use our mental processing to make decisions. This is a current favorite body of most people in Western society at the moment. Some believe that it is the only thing that matters. In relation to living a 3rd dimensional life that has been generally true, and now I am seeking to expand what is desireable and even more life filled than that mode of being. In order to do that we most work to practice quiet listening to each part of ourselves.
Many people describe the 4 body system: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual and they are correct. Each can be found to have a seperate "voice" within us and it is important to acknowelge each of these parts of ourselves. Not honoring one of these bodies will tend to throw one out of balance, thereby making our daily life less enjoyable. Wellness is our goal. Expanded enjoyment and creativity are natural parts of this more conscious way of living.
When you have a physical pain, it is the physical body's way of getting your attention. Do you see the distinction? Your body is telling you-two beings interacting. This illustrates one of our main ways we see that we are more than just one awareness. Now your physical body would prefer not to have to use such a loud way of getting your attention, and it does also send out signals all of the time. Practice feeling into your body sometime. Sit quietly in a chair with your feet on the floor. Take a few relaxing deep breaths and then start at your feet and scan yourself asking the body to report back to you. You'll find you here a lot of "alls well", but occasionally you'll find an area that sends out a different message. It could be an upset stomach which says "less of that food", or "more water, less coffee". Trust what you hear in your awareness, don't censor what you are getting. After all, aren't you the expert on your body? By doing this exercise you build a greater connection to your physical self and a line of communication is strengthened.
Our reality is created from the "inside" out. It is as what we feel and think will show up around us as the people and events in our "outer" life. One of the basic tenets we must follow to access higher energies is to take 100% responsibility ALL of the time for what we are experiencing. If we don't like something it's up to us to take steps to alter the results. Think about it for a moment. Every circumstance is part of some choice you made at sometime. Often it's something fairly recent, and other times we have to look back to a much earlier point to find where we created that belief. If the belief no longer serves us, we must allow it to release by bringing it to our awareness and unhooking it from our space. This may take more than one attempt at first, and with practice it can be as easy as taking a breath! Often a skilled energy healer would be a great ally in your process of self-healing.
Let's explore something called the "rose" technique. This process will assist you in establishing clear boundaries around your body that will benefit you in retaining control over your "space". Again, as energetic beings we must go beyond the belief that we're just our physical bodies, and that our energetic bodies are just as real and important to our well being. To begin either sit or stand still. Take a few cleansing and grounding breaths. Feel your feet on the floor and say aloud or to yourself " I am grounded and in my body". This helps to put you in your physical self. Picture a red long-stem rose. Place this imaginary rose about arms length out in front of you waist high. It just is floating there in your minds eye. Now create additional roses, putting one out to your left side, then right side and then your back side, each an arms length from your body. Now you've got four roses floating waist high around you. Create two more, placing one about 2 feet above your head and one the same distance below your feet.
Now comes the fun part! Draw a line from the rose above you down to each of the roses, so you'll have 4 lines coming to each point. Going clockwise connect the rose in front that's waist high to the one to the right, continuing around until you have connected all. What you should have at this point is a pyramid structure surrounding the top half of your body. Repeat the pattern starting from the rose beneath your feet, also connecting it to the waist. When you're done you'll have what's called an octahedron around your whole body, which is like having 2 pyramids base to base. The octahedron is now your conscious delineation of your personal space. What's inside it is "yours" and what's outside it is the rest of everything. It's only you that can allow other's energies into your space. The octahedron will deflect stray energies that you may pick up from other's when you're at the store, etc. It's a good idea to practice putting this invisible barrier on when you start your day. If you do this, what you'll find is that you're a lot less bothered by others states of mind and/or problems as the energies of those won't have permission to enter your personal space. I invite you to try this especially before you get around others and see what happens. Once you've practiced it a few times you can mentally re-draw this space around you at a moment's notice just by imagining it being there.
What you may experience is that people who consciously or unconsciously try to attach to your energy of your personal space will be stopped by your intention to be aware and define your energy space. They may get frustrated or angry, just notice and do not take responsibility for their reaction. You are learning to "own" your space, which will stop the flow of what isn't you to get to you. This is a beginning step to claiming your experience and creating a experience that you desire in your life. Happiness, well-being and a sense of peace will be your rewards. The more that you do this the more you will value "your space" and come to recognize it's sacredness as you move through your day.
An additional experience with the octahedron is to spin it. This will give you a sense of the reality of what you've created. First, command it to spin at 10% of the speed of light and notice what you notice. You may feel a tug as it spins. Notice which way it is spinning. Try again at intervals of 30%, 60% and 90% of light speed and notice how it feels. You'll come to experience the octahedron as a tangible creation that you made just with your mind! Also, the use of the rose is significant. The rose represents the highest vibration of the flowers and is an excellent symbol of the power you've placed in your octahedron. Rose oil in fact is the highest vibration flower plant essence that healers use and this is scientifically documented as well. So enjoy playing with this structure. It will benefit you in day to day life and with further experience you'll be able to apply it at work, home and out socially for great results. It will begin to make you feel lighter and you won't be blindly taking on others stray energies. This will keep you in a more centered and peaceful frame of mind, as you go forth to create what you would like to have happen in your space.
I'll continue to explore the topic of managing your energy in upcoming posts, and will be offering a class on it in Austin in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

If you only had 3 years to live, would you pay the IRS?
Today I thought I'd play a bit on "tax day" as it's known in the good 'ole USA. Monday is actually when we're supposed to pay our share of taxes to our governments. For that money we hope that we'll receive an equitable return in services such as good schools, roads, public safety, etc. Yet, it appears that we're falling further and further behind in our ability as a society to do just that.
Some of you that are more politically aware likely know about the current budget battles in Washington, pitting the two sides in a game of who can seem more responsible - yeah right- they're the one's who screwed it up in the first place!
What is actually happening? As of the present the USA is approximately 14 TRILLION dollars in debt. Given that our economy is approximately a $3 Trillion/yr size if we did nothing but give every dollar of what every person and corporation does for 5 straight years we'd finally pay this off. How did we get into this mess and what are we going to do about it?
Debt is not necessarily a bad thing when it's managed properly, however this hasn't been the case. What has occurred has been built up over nearly 100 yrs. It was the installation of the Federal Reserve system and jointly the creation of an income tax which has now morphed into this gargantuan dilemma. I won't go into all of the gory details, however it makes for some interesting reading. The point is what do we wish for as a society? Do we want peace and prosperity and harmony within our homes and communities, or not? Are we willing to begin to take the steps to being responsible for our experience of life even if it means that it might not benefit us directly, but will be felt in a generation or two?
What is money? Ultimately it is a symbol of energy that we've all agreed on to some level. In of itself it's just strips of fancy green paper. It is a way of exchanging energy in an agreed upon manner that is the basis for any nation-state on the planet at this time. It can be changed at any time, just like what happened in Europe when they went from francs and Marks to Euro's, and just like that people had to use it.
So here's my view. The system as we've known it has become outmoded. These large institutions of government and banking have become thoroughly intertwined to where the public's interest is dictated by the money lender's interest. Our government is DEPENDENT on PRIVATE banking interests to function, yet most people don't have a clue that this is the case. This is not something new, and goes back hundreds of years. No one really cared as long as they were "getting theirs", i.e. houses, cars, vacations, etc.. Now we have a huge number of people who in the last several years have lost most of their personal wealth due to loss of jobs and homes. The era of increasing prosperity under the old system has been usurped!
Thankfully we're now living in a 5th dimensional world where we can change things, for if it was merely a 3-D world exclusively we'd be seeing rioting, more wars and general chaos.
Let's go back to the title of this article, ok? More and more people are discovering that they cannot expect to live on the old model of working and paying taxes and having enough security to enjoy themselves. Now I am not saying don't pay your taxes because the world is going to shit or you don't agree with what they're doing with your money. What I am saying is that those in government realize that their ability to collect money thru taxation and borrowing has reached it's limit. To go much further would result in risking a breakdown of the the legitimacy of the the government and/or banking system. It is likely that there will be major reformation of our large institutions in the coming years as they hold the "old" 3-D energy and cannot cope with a 5th dimensional vibration, which is about unity and not duality. You see, in order to charge interest, there has to be an "other". In fact, in a 5th dimensional system, we are able to recognize that we are all "one". Example: Would I charge myself interest to borrow $10 from my wallet?
So here's what I'm proposing: Do what you love to do and make money from it. Pay your taxes, of course. Remember to enjoy your life yourself and with your loved ones. A sunny day is free. Value your happiness in each day as your wealth. That cannot be taxed! Live simply, it's the best revenge. For when you do this, you live for less, yet have more. More time, energy, opportunity. I imagine a day when so many people are doing this, that there is no more tax money to be misspent or pledged as security for debt.
It is written about the times before taxation, when communities were known to be strong because they relied on one another and saw directly the results of their efforts. The future is not written. What shall we create?

The 5 body system
Today I'd like to do a basic introduction to the 5 body system of being a human and pathways to wellness during this transitional time. It can help us to help view ourselves in the larger context of our beingness. By knowing this, we will be able to make regular checks on our personal energy as we adjust to the new frequencies flooding into the planet.
The human-being is composed of 5 distinct "bodies of consciousness". They include the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and 5th dimensional or "higher-self" aspects. It is only within the last 10 years that the 5th body has become activated. This is a result of the planet having fully shifted into that state as well, thus being able to support it for us. Each body of consciousness composes a portion of your total awareness. You may notice that people will tend to operate w/ one of these aspects taking the lead. The first 4 are like the children of your psyche and the 5D body is like the senior leader of the group.
At the Spring Equinox tremendous energies of a high order were influxed into our planet and distributed throughout numerous grid-works which exist in and around the Earth. Many people have been and are presently noticing new physical problems or emotional issues. This is due to these bodies of consciousness are experiencing the greatest impact as we move forward. Often what is occuring is pushing areas into one's awareness for healing and transmuting.
The mental and spiritual bodies will be affected as well and it is important to consider these portions of self as well.
The 5th dimensional body/higher-self aspect of us is now emerging as a strong ally in our evolutionary process. This portion of self as said is the senior partner, and it is the part of self that knows our personal blueprint, that which we each set up for ourselves in this lifetime. Perceiving this part of ourselves requires us to consider the etheric portion of our energy field. This point of connection is centered on the 8th chakra, approximately 12" above the head.
In order to prepare for more fluid and regular connection to the highest parts of ourselves it is necessary to do a little "housecleaning" with ourselves. First I'd like to focus on is the physical. The physical body is our servant while in the game and with proper attention will function very well for you. Listen to what signs it is giving you. Sit quietly and feel into your body, scanning it and noticing any areas that have a lack of ease. Often you'll know the source. Honor that information as you work to make a change.
The basics of having a well functioning body are rest, activity and diet.
Currently, rest is crucial, as we're all processing increasing solar and cosmic particles and waves of energy. Make sure your rest area is comfortable and devoid of electronics if at all possible. (These create unnecessary electronic emanations even if turned off!)
Activity is also key. It can be as simple as walking. By moving the body we benefit all of its systems. Again, listen to what it wants and take steps to do it as you move into greater ease. Being in nature is a perfect way to do this.
Diet is another that can make a big difference as you move forward. The rule of thumb is to eat more foods that are lower on the food chain, such as fruits and vegetables, organic grains, raw nuts for example. Clean water is also important. Charge your water bottles in sunlight for an hour before taking them with you, sunshine is natures energizer! Also, purchase a basic water filtration system for your home, this will save you $100's of dollars over buying bottled water and is better for the environment.
Avoid all fast food and most restaurant food. These contain high degrees of undesireable carcinogens and toxins. Most restaurant food is supplied by large companies which in turn buy their food from factory farming operations, which utilize genetically modified foodstuffs that have been grown w/ chemical fertilizers which is taken up by the plants. You can't eliminate the problem, but by buying organic, or local, or growing a garden in your yard you'll be able to lessen the amount of these that you consume.
As one's vibration goes higher, you may become a lot more sensitive to food. Eating lower vibrational foods such as animal products or packaged foods may lead to a lot more indigestion or "blah" feeling. Each person is unique, so experiment with yourself and learn what works for you. If what you eat gives you energy, tastes good and is "low food chain", then enjoy!
The body is meant to be used and enjoyed! In modern life we sit a lot at home and at our jobs, and we have lost a bit of our connection to life here. With spring in North America it's now a great time to get outside and let the sunshine on your head, if even for only 15 minutes. You will absorb a boost of Vitamin D, which is nature's antidepressant!
Connect for a few minutes on what a multi-dimensional being you are. Listen to the distinct messages given to you by each body that is part of your internal "family of consciousness". Know that in meditation you can quiet these "inner children" and then connect to that higher part, the 5D body, the etheric portion of you that is waiting to give you all that you can be in this life. Trust the intuition, the inner whispers, the gentle encouragement that you receive. Act on it in small ways, knowing that you are supported on your journey. Until next time :)

The human-being is composed of 5 distinct "bodies of consciousness". They include the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and 5th dimensional or "higher-self" aspects. It is only within the last 10 years that the 5th body has become activated. This is a result of the planet having fully shifted into that state as well, thus being able to support it for us. Each body of consciousness composes a portion of your total awareness. You may notice that people will tend to operate w/ one of these aspects taking the lead. The first 4 are like the children of your psyche and the 5D body is like the senior leader of the group.
At the Spring Equinox tremendous energies of a high order were influxed into our planet and distributed throughout numerous grid-works which exist in and around the Earth. Many people have been and are presently noticing new physical problems or emotional issues. This is due to these bodies of consciousness are experiencing the greatest impact as we move forward. Often what is occuring is pushing areas into one's awareness for healing and transmuting.
The mental and spiritual bodies will be affected as well and it is important to consider these portions of self as well.
The 5th dimensional body/higher-self aspect of us is now emerging as a strong ally in our evolutionary process. This portion of self as said is the senior partner, and it is the part of self that knows our personal blueprint, that which we each set up for ourselves in this lifetime. Perceiving this part of ourselves requires us to consider the etheric portion of our energy field. This point of connection is centered on the 8th chakra, approximately 12" above the head.

It is within you to fulfill your desires
It is within you. So often we search outside ourselves to get what we want, whether it be love, appreciation, validation, etc. and often we fall short. Over the last week I've noticed that a lot of people are really being pushed on an emotional level to look at things in their lives in a different way. In my observation, what is happening is that people are trying to do things the old fashioned "3-Dimensional" way and are not getting the results they want, just more frustration. This is occuring because those ways of living and relating to the world are becoming less available-going away so to speak. We are being asked to move into a newer, better way of fulfilling our needs, emotional and otherwise by beginning to take the steps to look within.
There's an adage in spiritual circles that says G-D would put him-self/her-self the last place humans would look, inside their own hearts! Now I don't necessarily mean your physical heart, but instead your energetic heart. How the heck do we get there?
In order to have an open and flowing heart, we need to understand some energetic basics. First, we are spiritual/energetic beings experiencing life through a human body. We have what are called chakras, which are conduits of this non-physical energy. There are 7 main ones within the body and they are located along what is your centerline of your body starting roughly at the base of your spine and continuing upwards to the top of your head. We interact with our energy constantly and are often not conscious of whether or not we are in balance. Each chakra has been identified to be associated with certain emotional states. For example, the 1st chakra is about our connection to the physical earth, survival and basic sustenance. The others have additional main functions I won't get into in detail at this time. We also have chakras all over the body, in the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, connected to every major organ, etc. If you wan't to get into the science of it you could study this for a lifetime. I want to impart a more practical approach for today.
Feelings are your guide. First, you must be grounded and centered within your own energy. Next, move up to your belly, just below the ribcage. Think of your issue at hand. Ask yourself and your body, am I feeling safe about this? Is this in my best interests to be working with this issue in this way? Feel the response in this area of the body. If it's a no, then the area will feel tight, closed. If it's a yes then you might feel a relaxing of that area which means that that chakra is beginning to open. This chakra, called the 3rd or Solar plexus chakra, is the guard. It must be relaxed and flowing if you are to access your heart. What I have found with energy is that it is very sensitive and won't flow unless there is relaxation, not the sleepy kind but rather the "Gosh I'm feeling great in this moment kind". The point is to start recognizing the energy within your body thru relaxation. Relaxation can be achieved most easily thru deep diaphramatic breathing. Imagine yourself breathing thru the stuck place and picture it releasing and flowing. This may take several attempts, but don't give up! Then comes accessing the heart.
It is our natural state in the higher vibrations to be living in our hearts, listening to the desires contained within and acting on them. This is the work of the 5th dimension, to be able to be in this space for greater periods of time and living from that place. Life in the world up to this point has been living from the head, or mental space, and putting the heart second. In order to live from your heart you are going to have to choose to change the way you relate to yourself first in life, seeking that connection and then TRUSTING the wisdom contained within. This means that you may have intuition to do something that makes no sense logically, for that is the realm of the mind. You may be guided to change jobs, homes, relationships, habits- anything that does not serve you living in the vibrant energy that is joy to you. This has nothing to do with anyone elses perceptions, it's purely of, by and for you. Stay within your own space, release all of that attachments and opinions of others and then act in some small way to acknowledge to yourself that you are willing to do this. Your body will relax, your mind will relax and you will feel a flow, perhaps a rush of energy in your heart area. Then you'll know you're on your way!
Namaste,
Robert
