I walked with Eagle

These last few days have been fast moving and full of wonderful adventures both with family and from within. Family first- my little ones are growing like weeds. It seems like just yesterday that we brought them home. I still laugh at our start as parents and how all the books and classes we took really could not prepare us for taking care of two little babies at once. It is now sunny out and just in time for my little ones to start exploring the world outside their stroller. Gone are the days of viewing the world from a safe sitting position. So the back yard and play parks are on the list for exploration. Lucky for me I've already stocked up on natural sunscreen and hats. They love the dirt. They like to eat it, throw it, rub it in their clothes and skin. Oh, and they also like flowers. The colors, smells, and textures are simply irresistible to them. We bought an azalea plant to represent them and planted it in the yard for them to see. It's nice to honor their new souls into the world. We took a trip to the park to let them walk in the grass and swing. If you ever want to connect with your inner child put a small little child in a swing and watch her face as she feels the feeling of flying through the air. The smiles, the laughs, the pure joy of being free. They both glow at this experience. I soak in their joy and hold their pure love for life in my very being. Purity is looking at the world for the very first time. Looking at it through my child's eyes is as close as I have come to feeling this purity again.



Since my manifestation of working on my body this cycle my body has taken little time in letting me know what it needs. I'm in the process of switching over to all natural products for hair, skin, and home. This process started over a month ago but is ramped up due to body needs. The endless search for home products finally ended and look forward to receiving them soon. Skin and hair are next. I've already been using some products but have not liked the outcome or all that needs to be done just for my face to be clean and moisturized. With that said I'm on to another avenue which I hope to receive soon. Exercise has become vital again. I actually crave the movement and am grateful for the ability to go and get outside as needed. My biggest change has happened in the last week. I'm officially a vegetarian, again. This has been a long time coming and it happened much slower than the first time. I wanted to make sure it was right and worked for my whole lifestyle as I am the main cook in the house. I've bought some new books to give me ideas on family cooking and long term health vitality for myself. I'm actually very happy with this change and plan on writing about this shift another time.



Spiritually I continue to expand and grow. This week I attended another spiritual gathering with a wonderful group of women and as always that helped me continued expansion and also assisted with understanding some feelings that came up earlier in the week. During our group meditation my heart chakra that has been aching for weeks now seemed to open up and then rip open feeling larger than my body. I was very sensitive later that night and could almost feel the feelings of everyone I encountered. As I was doing a meditation prior to going to bed I was shown my heart chakra from above. The magnitude of this vision explained my pain and sensitivity. It looked like the Grand Canyon in shape. It had very deep valleys and broke off into different directions. It glowed the color of pink and pulsed. As I was looking at it I was feeling so many different emotions; feeling so many different thoughts and experiences heal all at once. A white linen cloth was placed over it. I asked why and was told it was for protection. You could still see the outline and faint color as the cloth was almost soaked into the space. I awoke still feeling very raw and open. It felt as though my heart was ripped wide open and breath work was all I could do to provide any easing of pain. I choose to take a long walk by the water with my girls to clear myself- I just could not be confined to an inside space. As I started the walk an Eagle flew very low over my head. She followed me down the path, rested on a high perch and then just when she was out of view she came around the mountain side and took another perch where we could continue to be in each others space. As I entered the forest portion of the walk we said good-bye. Eagle has always represented to me that I am walking on the right path with God. I smiled and knew that in honoring myself I was being honored. The sparrows ate in the low hills around us. The sun made the water glitter and shine. In the distance I witness Mt. Rainer and all his glory standing tall still covered with snow. I left the walk still very sensitive but more grounded and on the path to healing. As I write this the sensation of being ripped open is gone. I am grateful for the continued expansion and love that I receive as I walk this path.

I am blessed beyond words.

It is my honor to serve and I am honored to share my journey with you.

Namaste,
Leah

I love my Body!

Less than a week ago you more than likely would never have heard me say this. I, like most American women have had a body complex for the majority of my life. I had a good year and half period where I was really happy with my body but for the most part it has always been one thing or another that needs changing, needs loosing, needs fixing. As of Sunday I no longer hold my body to the standards set by mainstream media or anyone or thing except the standards my body requests.

Listening to what my body needs is nothing new to me. I have for over three years now tried to honor major requests and follow through. This body is the temple for my soul. While its true that you can't take it with you this doesn't mean you must abuse it either.

My two biggest reasons for my life shift are the need to honor the vehicle that has withstood all the abuse and neglect and still bounced back the second I asked it to. The other reason is my little girls. I want to raise them with a healthy body image and the only way to do that is to look in the mirror and start getting honest with myself before they grow to understand what Mommy really thinks of her body.

I have worked so hard to clear my spiritual being without spending much time working on the physical side. This moon cycle I am honoring my body and all my thousands of parts. I love it, honor it, feed it and water it with the respect it deserves. It's voice is heard loud and clear and is very grateful for the acknowledgement.

Today I stand before you a women in love with herself. I am curvy, sassy, freckled, fair skinned, curly frizzy haired and very happy. I have scars that remain long after my babies exited my body and I'm grateful for them because I was able to carry my little ones to term and they both were born healthy. I have eyes that are aging as my latest eye appointment proved but I'm grateful because I can see the world and all of it's beauty. I am grateful that I am in good health, that I can walk a mile or more and still breath easy, play with my daughters and at the end of the day live to meditate and sleep easy in my body one more day.

I love you body. Thank you for waiting for me to come around.

Love & Light,
Leah

By the light of the full moon

I would like to start out by saying how much I love full moons. I have always enjoyed how much light they bring when camping under the stars. How everything has a wonderful glow to it under a full moon. You can feel the magic of the moonbeams dancing in the leaves, touching the ocean as it rises, kissing the mountain tops covered in snow.



My daughters and I also share a connection with the moon. I conceived under the summer solstice full moon and my labor started right after the lunar eclipse had finished.



My most favorite thing is how I feel tingly when I meditate to the vibration of the full moon. Utilizing the energy of the moon through all its cycles is something I am newly discovering and I find that I have for sometime actually been displaying a natural rhythm with the Goddess Moon- not just on her big shining night.



In April the full moon was considered the first of three Spring Festival full moons observed by many all over the world but traditionally associated with Eastern traditions. During the Spring Festivals the full moon in April/Aries, May/Taurus, and June/Gemini are honored and ritual is held to bring in the Divine energies that correlate with each moons energy. I have for a few years now observed the full moon in Taurus, known as Wesak, as the sacred moon and honored it with love and prayers. This year I was given the knowledge that lead me to not only honor the whole Spring Festival but to also do so with the intent that was created for these sacred times. In doing so I have created my own personal spiritual power time for personal growth, manifestation, and the gift of increased vibrational energy. This has not only been such a sacred blessing but a much needed affirmation that all I have done in the last three years is on the right path for myself, my family, and importantly for the betterment of all.



The Aries full moon is better known as the Easter Festival or the Festival of Christ. It honors the Christ energy or Christ Consciousness that is so lovingly being spread to all of humanity. It is about Love and the Heart Chakra. The center where God lives withing each of us. It is also about rebirth and reorganization. The process of rebirth is not to be taken lightly as I quickly learned when I used this time to ask for clarity and a cleansing of the mind and body. I had created a goal that I wanted to clear old patterns and restructure my energy fields to vibrate at a higher level letting go of all that no longer served me. Meditation and long nights of dream work assisted me in meeting my goals and releasing huge amounts of old 'stuff' that I thought was long gone. It felt good to face myself and free these thoughts and patterns back into Mother Earth for healing and regeneration. Tough as it was sometimes it was necessary.



As I prepared for the Wesak Festival, considered the holiest of days by some, I started to read up on how this holy day was viewed and the ritual that took place to best grasp the energies and make the most of what was being gifted to each of us. This Festival observes the Buddha and now also honors the Christ as both serve and radiate the Divine Love of God and bring this love to each of us as the Divine gift. Blending the East and West as one- a true gift for us at this time. I had in previous Wesak moons connected with the Buddha energy. It is almost tangible in the air if you just sit and meditate on it for a short amount of time. After receiving my gift of connection with the Buddha energy I moved to connecting with the energy of Christ. Then moved to my final goal, connection with the energy of the Hierarchy. My purpose of this process was to honor the Divine work that was being done by all the Divine beings of the Hierarchy and to offer my service and devotion to the Divine Plan. As I write the words I still continue to grasp the magnitude of what I have done. Truly accepting that my path in life is a path of service has been a huge process of acceptance on my part. It has been a knowledge I have always had but to truly work and reach the point of acceptance and then commitment was like jumping off the cliff into infinity. The ceremony was simple. The prayer and meditation beautiful. The connection was Divine. It was just simply gorgeous.



Words can not express how my life has changed with this simple yet profound experience. The world through my eyes does not appear the same, nor does it feel the same. I enjoy life more fully. I love more deeply. My smile is natural and is shared with all I cross paths with now. I also notice things that need to be healed or corrected within myself and feel the need for attention to them more acutely. I feel lighter. I feel more empathetic but more in control of it now. My prophetic ability has grown threefold- a skill I try to practice as often as possible. My biggest change, most importantly, is I now have purpose. I have my path set out before me. The path leads into a mist but that's OK because I don't need to know exactly where I'm going anymore- just that I will be guided to get there. I also know that at the end of this day my gratitude will be expressed more fully and my life lived more honorably because I did it for the betterment of all in the name of God.



I am not perfect. I am still human and grateful of the fact that I can smell the rain, touch the flowers, hear the waves and at the end of the day whisper sweet prayers to my little girls while they sleep. The human condition is one of senses and possibilities. I have given myself to assisting my fellow beings on their paths, with special focus on the children of our planet. It is my honor and gratitude to be given this wonderful opportunity in life. I am excited to share it with each of you.



With all my Love & Light,

Leah

Starting the process of new direction

It seems like it has been a long road to this point in life.

I finally feel a direction, a purpose to all that happened in life up until this moment. You would think having twin girls just 15 months ago would give one a sense of purpose, but really I knew deep down I would do more in addition to helping my little earth angels grow and bloom into their own little beings. My goal is to share my process, my loves in life, stores of how my family grows and changes during the paradigm shift we are currently undergoing here on earth. I also hope to show that change and growth into a more centered life in this new world is a lot easier when you go with the flow, accept what comes up on the surface and decide how best to use it or release it if it no longer serves.

I believe that we each have something to bring into this new paradigm, this new era. Our light dwells within each of us. Reach in and grab hold of your inner strength, it has been waiting for you all along.

With much love and excitement I invite you to follow my journey into the great love of God's wonderful light we call life.

Love & Light- Leah
