Journey

The Journey to higher awareness is a path that is filled with breath taking experiences.

Becoming aware of your very being- your piece of the big puzzle- brings new light into your life. Your horizons open, your light shines more brightly, you feel more alive with every breath. The process is not without growing pains. These symptoms as I have come to acknowledge them are any discomfort that is felt at the many different levels in the physical body and soul body. Physical pain caused by energy blocks is common at this time. While we receive new higher vibrations into our bodies the old energies that no longer serve us need to find a way out. When we don't provide our bodies with regular assistance in release blocks happen. They can be minor and annoying to painful and persistent. If ignored they can sometimes grow into something much worse than an uncomfortable pain. Acknowledging the pain and finding a way for release is the healthy step to assist the body in cleansing the old energies. Exercise that brings you in touch with nature such as walking, jogging, swimming, hiking, canoeing, horse back riding and biking help get the blood flowing and get stagnate energies moving. Doing these activities in nature allows for communion with Mother Earth- a wonderful healer who is more than happy to receive old processed energy for transmutation. Allow time for a short break when the body physically stops and touches the earth. Visualize the connection with the ground and your feet or tailbone. Allow the old energies to flow out through you and the new energies to come into you.

Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong are other great ways to help energy blocks release through stretching the muscles and joints. Breath work and Meditation on certain areas that continue to cause problems may help to understand why a release is not occurring. Sometimes acknowledging the feelings and emotions that may be associated with a block are necessary in order for the old energies to be released. In some cases the block is associated with past life karma and may not be easy to understand- allow the process to unfold as it needs to and trust that with the assistance from your Higher Self you can let go of all that needs to at the right time.

Massage is also a great way to get energy moving through the body and find hidden areas of release that may not be otherwise obvious to our busy bodies. Shoulders, neck, and the area of the back hold large amounts of tension for most people and without quiet time and exercise they may be overlooked. Massage can bring these space into our awareness and allow for release.

Always remember that while all of these exercises help with removing blocks there are times in the transformation process that we become aware of real illnesses or issues that need to be treated by a Medical Physician. Honoring your transformation and body also means honoring the process and the path it takes. If seeking Medical help is what is required do so without delay. Everything is up for renewal, removal, and regeneration.

Listen to your spirit and bodies requests. The soft voice of their needs will be repeated until the request is answered. When ignored the issues will continue to grow or the lessons will continue to cycle back to the original request. Dizziness, loss of time, sleeplessness, and feelings of stress without real cause are all signs of the transformation taking place in this current time. I also find that tightness in my chest and irritation in my heart, throat, brow, and crown chakras are also signs of higher frequency changes. Grounding myself and remaining aware of how I'm feeling assists with the process and gives me a better sense of control when all control seems lost. Balancing all aspects of my life is what I do to feel 'safe'. The reality of this statement while true is nearly impossible to complete in a time that shifts second to second and needs me to flow in order for change to be assimilated and accepted. I work daily on releasing and allowing the tides to take me with them where they go. When I do this the process of release and growth become easier for my body to accept and my soul feels as if it is flying in the wind. Symptoms subside and I walk through another level of awareness that allows for more beauty and love to enter my being.

My goal is to share these concepts and lessons with you so that you may feel the beauty of this new Paradigm to its fullest and take your place in the ranks of beings that acknowledge the Glory of Divinity here on our beautiful planet and live consciously in her comfort that is provided. We have the gift of reaching stars within ourselves that are now opening inside us to share with all of the universe- starting here in our own families and communities. Allow the shift of love to take over your very soul and share it with all you meet. Move past pain and suffering and believe that only Love and Truth will fill your day as much as you believe in your next breath. Reach through the old ways and safe trails and blaze a new path that is sustainable, loving and kind to all beings of this planet. Bring yourself to a place where you stand on the Mesa overlooking the future and realize that your one soul is here to make a mark on history. The choices you make will affect generations to come- choose Health, Love, Community, LIFE! Let your spirit soar and reach deep within and ask where you should go from here then honor the soft loving voice that speaks back. You will never be lead astray when you honor the Divine within yourself. All that is to come is only Happiness and Prosperity for all if we allow it.

'You may never know what results come from your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result.'- Mahatma Gandhi

I honor each of you as you walk this path. While you do walk it alone know that the Divine Love touches each of us and brings with it Loving Friends that come along at just the right moment you need a little help to keep you going on your way. Take a moment and honor yourself and how far you have already come. Give this moment to yourself- you deserve it.

With Much Love & Light,

Honoring my body's request

Becoming a vegetarian this time around was a request my body had been making for a few months now. My body had been slowing reaching a point of complete intolerance to meat of any kind. Since January I had heard the small voice inside request more vegetables, fresh foods verses fried, and items to eat that were not processed or cooked with tons of sodium. I would ache, feel tired and sluggish, even down right sick when denying these requests. I eventually reached a point where food just didn't even seem enjoyable anymore. I love food so this change was saddening and an obvious sign that something needed to happen. When I would silence the outside world I would hear the voice cry for what it really needed and the healthy change would make all the difference.





I didn't take this request lightly. I knew that it would not only affect my life but my household as well. My loving husband is a proud meat eater. I knew he would no doubt support me I also knew he would still enjoy eating the flesh of animals daily without thinking twice. With this in mind I had to research how to balance feeding myself and my family meals daily without becoming a short order cook. I found support in books, my husband, and from Divine guidance all of which showed how easy this transition would be if I took the time to be prepared.



Two weeks into this change I do feel better. I find myself getting fuller sooner. I also find that my body is now cleansing itself of toxins and impurities. I believe this has partially to do with my food switch and also in part to the other changes I've made in my life. The process is a growing experience in preparation, understanding, and honoring the Divine Temple I live in- my body.



Walking has also become a large factor to how I'm feeling. This grounding exercise I usually do with my little girls. They enjoy the outside as much as I do. Moving my body and pushing myself beyond my perceived limits has brought a new sense of strength. It brings a calm and centering when all the transitional energies become to much to hold inside. Walking brings this peace inside that fills me full and empties me with every step. I am grateful for the health I have and the ability to release in such a healthy way as often as my days allow.



The other changes I'm making to my facial, hair and body products as well as home cleaning products are small but are starting to make a huge impact on my well being. I feel lighter and more responsible for what I'm putting on (and eventually through absorption) in my body. The research that was required to make this change made me feel more informed and aware of how mindless some decisions are made based on what mass media suggests. I am grateful for this awareness. I am my own mind and choose to make choices that are healthy for me and this beautiful blue planet we call Mother Earth.



From within I hear the birth of a new Leah being born. My values, ideals, and vibrations are all shifting to a more balanced centered awareness. I honor this shift and bow my head as I am blessed.



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
