Into the Deep

Enter the Scorpio- a time of endings and new beginnings. Death and Rebirth. A connection to the shadow side of self. This is the place of secrets, unknown or hidden fears, all that lies deep within your soul. This is where your skeletons hide and where you have a chance to face them and open to the power contained within the acknowledgement of their presence.

The Suns entry into the astrological sign of Scorpio is personal and deep and runs like a river through me. This passage for me means healing and awakening on so many levels. Facing the strength of my shadow side with an open heart and a willingness to learn to leash this potential for hidden talents is a cathartic process of self renewal and forgiveness. This path is marked with the typical road signs- fear, pain, and coming face to face with the inner demons you may not like to admit live within you. Your freedom is found in deeply pushing forward. Facing them, baring witness to their lack or defect and then allowing any healing to take place. You can then view them in a non-judgemental way. Looking at these parts of yourself as if viewing then in a movie- something you can associate with but be detached from- helps to identify their worth. The tangible nugget of gold is your gift you receive once you've walked the dark valley. The hard part and most useful stage in this death-rebirth process is going through the emotion. Standing in front of the big screen mirror and coming to terms with the fact that these shadow part of you are pieces that make up YOU. They make up a part of the whole. These shadows may under go healing, be disseminating into the universe, or they may be so hidden within that they are virtually unknown. They are still your Karma, your Evil, your Fear, your Pain. They are what make you human. You are alive with breath and life force flowing through you. Enter into the shadow self in prayer and ask for guidance when you feel you've gone too deep and need a helping hand to face the darkness.

The Divine Loving Source is a part of all living things. The Love of all Parts and the Parts of all Love. Inside your shadow self contains the pearls of this Love and the wisdom to understand its strength to assist on your journey.

Dive Deep!

Namaste,
Leah

Celebration of Light

It is with pleasure that I Wish You a Very Blessed Winter Solstice.

The shortest day of the year marks a change of the calendar year and a sign that the light will start to return. Slowly it grows a little lighter each day. In honor of this wonderful day I celebrate in prayer, say blessings of abundance and give thanks for the warm home and food I am so gratefully enjoying. I ate foods full of root vegetables and enjoyed a cup of tea to keep my spirits and body warm. Most important I honored this day by staying present and quietly going within to listen and feel.

This season is full of celebration, holidays, and lots of hustle and bustle. Truly what is needed is time daily to reserve, rest, and go within. Our shorter days are a great time to honor the personal time needed to get in touch with self. Quiet yourself and listen to your heart beat, the in and out of your breath. Listen long enough and you can here your inner voice speak. For some this voice is rarely heard over the never ending conversation, television, music, and thoughts of daily activities. Take time through out the longer winter nights and find yourself. Honor your spirit by learning things you may never have known about yourself- strengths, weakness, feelings that get shoved down when life gets too busy. This is a great time to heal and work on issues that get put on the back burner when the summer sun comes calling. Its also a time of year when lots of emotional issues are rising. Take the time to hear their call and find the source of the troubles. Heal, release, and grow.

Trees go within to preserve their life. Animals hibernate to do the same thing. Perhaps we can learn from our worldly friends and take steps to honor ourselves and grow with the ever increasing sunlight- slowly coming out of our shells as the season progresses into the new year.

Sending Blessings of Love & Light,
Leah

Love Writings

Have you ever given thought to how much you love your life?

How blessed you are to breathe?

How wonderful the sun feels on your skin when you walk outside in the fresh air?

I could list the wonderful things about life for days and it would still have no end. Feeling Gratitude for my life is what helps me stay centered in the Beauty and Grace that fills me. Gratitude is a simple way to honor the gifts that are brought into your life. Being humble and giving thanks brings perspective to how simple life can be or better yet how simply wonderful the little things in life are with each breath.

My health is one of the many things I show gratitude for daily. Nothing can go forward in my day if I'm ill as well as it can if my health is in perfect balance. This is my truth and I honor it more with each breath. Remaining centered, focused, and balanced in the flow moves Divinely when my physical body is healthy and well. Giving thanks for my health allows me to honor the Divine for the gift but also my body for all the functions it preforms every second without so much as a conscious thought on my part. Think of all that your body does for you each moment and think how much more it could do if you gave it better food, more water, and of course exercise and stretching. Starting with Gratitude helps move onto making healthy changes for the body.

My personal time with God in prayer and meditation is another important function I find myself not being able to live without and for this I also give thanks. Slowing down and sitting in quiet time with myself and God brings a greater perspective to how full and beautiful my life is at all moments. Having this time to honor, pray, and give thanks helps me focus on what really is needed. Allows me to solve issues that need my heart and minds attention. At the end of the day it allows for release and assists with that which needs to be handed over to the Divine for healing and treatment.

Creating a gratitude list, writing in a journal, taking time for prayer and meditation are all ways to start your love writings to God and to your Divine Self. It centers, it creates, it brings into the physical world things that you once took for granted. I find that by moving into Gratitude at least twice a day brings more of what I give thanks for into my life. It is as if I am weaving my web for the day and I start it by filling it with Grace for all I have been given and right before I lay my head down to sleep I complete my web for they day with one more silent gratitude list just to remind me how blessed I am wrapped up and surrounded in the Love and Light of God. The in-between time is mine to weave and create-the end points the guides for a brighter day and a more God-centered life.

Make a choice to start your lists and see what your heart and soul show you. You might be surprised at the things that come to mind that you are grateful for. You also might help create a peaceful time just for yourself. You might create a time for spiritual connection that you never considered. There is no better time of day to start this practice than right now. Hear the calling of your soul to move into a place of gratitude and do it with the Grace that is blessed upon you with ever breath. Smile, your light shines and this is one loving gift you give to the world that only requires a thought of happiness.


My person truth:
My path of service begins each day with Gratitude and my Breath. Each day ends the same.

Creative Force

Creativity can work in ways in your life that will help shift your mood, fix a problem that is long overdue, or just be an outlet for fun and play. Creativity is now more than ever an important tool to use in daily living. Everyone is creative- at times it may seem more task than natural gift but it does reside within you. Taping in to your creativity brings you in alignment with your Divine Self. It helps open the natural flow and free the left brain from adding too much thought into the task at hand. Freeing yourself to be creative can help manage stress and show you a peaceful place to rest. Creativity can also be about release- letting go in ways that haven't always been useful outlets in the past. Sometimes being creative in how you solve issues that continue to surface will allow you to see your problem differently and focus on a solution you may not have seen before.

Working with your Divine Self and allowing the creativity to flow helps to center. It helps to teach you to hear the inner voice and trust your Divine Self. Beauty, love, cherished solitude- all of these gifts come with setting aside time to act creatively through art, exercise, or meditation. The possibilities are endless when you utilize your creative side and set your soul free!

Touch your heart with a warmth of fancy free thinking and see what you can create.

With Much Love & Light,
Leah

The Gift

I want so much for each person to understand their true potential. To know that all is already given to those that are open to receive. I want people to know that inside their very being lives a seed of love that was gifted to them prior to their first breath. All they have to do is acknowledge this gift and the seed will grow and assist in the transformation of their lives.

I want you to know that you can reach the stars. You can create heaven on earth. Once the transformation starts all you have to do it continue to have faith. Continue to believe in yourself and the Divine Love that gives you life.

Once you achieve pulling back the old layers of loss, hatred, denial, self-serving behavior, and fear your path becomes brighter. Your days are filled with joy and happiness. You find that even when it seems the whole world would bring you down you still smile and move forward. This seed has grown into your soul and now it lifts you, fills you, and wraps you in a beauty of love that can only be felt with the tenderness of your heart.

You will see the way things were never served your purpose. You will see that while you may have been doing your best it wasn't what was truly intended for you. Now that you are on the path originally designed for you doors open, the sun shines, and birds sing. You find the strength to go on when you are faced with another mountain to climb because you can and because you know some of the best views in life are found standing at the top of the mountain.

I want to heal, I want to shine. I want to share my light. I am ready to teach and lead and help those that are ready to take their step forward.

What do you want? What does your soul wish for? Are they the same thing?

Awakening your spirit so you can tap into the Divine Source is a change of a lifetime.
Take the leap. You will only lose that which no longer serves you anyway.

Growth is beautiful. Rest when your tired, take a deep breath when it seems to be too much, and feed yourself with the love that you were gifted.

Namaste,
Leah

Transition and Completion

I stand inside myself witness to my own recreation.

I have completed a goal three years in the making this weekend and I feel in transition. My soul fills with an endless love which empties again only to fill once more. Like the tides I sense the change each time the energy recedes clearing space for newness, for the Divine Light. I am complete and whole yet new and untouched.

My cellular membranes are pacing and pulsating as the programs are rewired and the old destroyed to be taken out with the next tide break. The energy beats with my heart, at times fast and breath taking. I cry. I sob. I fill with immense gratitude at the beautiful gift that has been bestowed upon me. I laugh. I wander, staring into to space for limitless amounts of time as my DNA is reworked and restored. I am witness to my own healing. I am witness to my regeneration. I am witness to the beauty of love that fills every fiber of my being. I can see the light radiate off my skin into my multi-layered aura beaming out into the space I occupy. My ears hear a low hum as all the reprocessing creates not only a warmth but an actual sound that is constant. The flow, the energy flow has grown stronger and the connection more pure.

All is forgiven, all is forgotten. I no longer hold onto old concepts that no longer serve my highest light. I have been healed of old thought patterns that held me stationary in my attempts to grow. I have released old wounds that served only as excuses to inflict pain. I am now open and free from judgement, hearsay, gossip and social obligations. I now live to serve as a humble being that only has love to share and an acceptance for humanity in all its imperfection.

I have accepted my gifts with gratitude and welcome the incoming shift with bowed head and humble prayers of thanks. I could not be more lost and centered at the same time. I am facing the unknown with an open heart and a over joyed soul. Completing my studies to become the Divine Healing Being I have always wanted to be is a great honor and gift and I am grateful to share my progress with each of you.

Thank you dearest loving souls for your support and love. It has filled me with the most immense sense of gratitude that words cannot express. Know you are always in my prayers and in my heart.

'To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest.' -Anonymous

Grace

God is within all of us.

I Am that I Am.

Knowing this concept and allowing it to take root, fill your life, and transform you takes dedication and faith that what is happening really is always for the better of all. Releasing judgement, self-centeredness and hatred are huge steps to allowing the seed of love to grow within you. Our culture has been breeding into us for a lifetime to do the above mentioned ad nauseam. All the tabloids, beauty magazines, and trashy newspapers fill our time with gossip, unrealistic concepts of beauty, and most importantly information that doesn't provide any importance except to perpetuate the negativity. Releasing the need to hear about the lives of others is one big step into stopping yourself from judging others. Removing yourself from the TV or discontinue reading beauty magazines will help stop the cycle of self-centeredness. Allowing the Grace of God to flow through your very being and heal old wounds and create new life patterns will help you to release anger and more importantly help you to avoid any feelings of hatred.

I have taken these steps to assist in my transformation. I have almost completely changed my whole life to sail in a different ocean than mainstream media and the general populations concepts of how life should be enjoyed. I'm happy I'm doing things differently and I'm also happy with how others do things. My prayers are for changing the world for the better. My prayers are for peace, love, a healing for Mother Earth, and a Divine Healing for all that live here and now. Our jobs as souls on this planet is to help welcome and manifest the new world. We have to make changes in our lives to allow this shift to happen. Honoring your calling is how you take your first step.

I love being fully surrounded by my sacred space in my home. I feel the pulse of the earth, I smell the scents on the wind and in my sacred oils. I know in my heart that Angels and Ascended Masters smile down and give thanks for my courage and sincerity as I hold sacred time for meditation and remain open for more information to flow. I have been doing some meditations from a great author read book called Channeling Grace by Caroline Myss. I love reading or listening to books that ring my bells so to speak. When I hear or see words written that describe the experiences or messages I have been receiving it is a great confirmation as to my connection with the Divine Mother/Father God, the Angels and Ascended Masters. Hearing Grace be described as Caroline views it and believes it to be helped to expand my understanding of how this Divine Love works for others. I had been finding it difficult the last few weeks to stay stationary and really focus my meditations. I would find myself falling asleep or receiving information which would distract my original intention which was to remain empty and just breathe. After finishing a guided meditation I realized I had just visited God. It is that simple. I had sat in the emptiness of my being, in a dark and totally silent place and held space with God. My experience was very sacred to me so I will keep that to myself but the outcome was one of total bliss. I wish this experience for everyone. I wish for you to quiet yourself and visit God. Really show yourself that you love this life and honor who and why you are here and give yourself the gift of God.

I realized that I had been visited by many Angels, many Ascended Masters, I've even had the honor of being in the presence of the Divine Christ Energy twice when I needed it most. I just never reached out and ask to be with God directly. As I said at the start, we all contain God within us. We all have our fill of this Divine love- how it flows from us and into us remains solely on how we utilize this love and allow it to fill our days. Requesting to be in the presence of God is not something you do on any special day or time. It only requires one thing- faith. Once it happens you will never be the same. I'm not. I can't ever go back to my vision of this life, world, or universe and not have that feeling of complete pure love for me and all that is and all that will ever be.

Change yourself for you. Change yourself because you can. Change yourself because you owe it to you to live the most fulfilling life you could ever imagine. All you need is faith and a moment to honor the seed God left in your heart the moment you were created into this universe. Light the fire and allow it to burn out all that isn't Divine by nature and watch yourself transform into the beautiful being that God has always held you to be.

I love each of you. I honor each of your paths and pray for your health, love and life- always.

Namaste,
Leah

Projecting Truth

I am always working on projecting Love, Grace, Happiness, Joy, and Serenity. I want to be the change I want for the world. I wish for the day when I don't have to think of it so consciously during harder times or difficult situations. I want to be the face of God so naturally that I have to stop and realize how far I have come.
I came into this lifetime to channel the love of God into my world and all that I come in contact with. I came into this life to help the children of this new Generation find a voice and use it without fear or regard for the masses that don't believe in a better tomorrow. I came into this life to make a difference and I create a new shift in consciousness every time I stay centered in the Divine Love. I reach out and help those that seemingly appear to want otherwise. I smile, really smile with my soul to everyone I come across regardless of their demeanor. I always give it my all. Being weary is no excuse for not shining my light as brightly as I possibly can. I am human and my physical body has boundaries however my soul does not and so when this body is done and needs rest I honor its request and send my spirit free to do the work that needs to be done sans this physical temple.
I think life feels more rewarding when I know I'm making a ripple in the big pond of life. My daughters are learning by example and they are now starting to show the first buds of these lessons. Their nature is so pure you can feel it in their presence. They don't know there are worldly limitations created by a society that no longer understands the pulse of the new world. They only see the beauty, they only feel the love. I watch as they run to trees and hug them or see a flower and scream for joy at its very presence in their world. They learned these things by listening to their inner voices- not because they witnessed these acts by another soul. I only gave them love and spoke my truth in whispers while they grew inside me and in front of me. I honor the gift I have to give them. This Divine Love has taught me that it has no end, it only grows the more it is freely given and released. It wraps itself up in ribbons of light and touches all that it sees. My daughters soak it up, dance in it, and giggle as it tickles their very core before exiting to dance again. They are filled with a pureness that can only be described as perfection and the Divine Love is their gift to hold onto for a lifetime. I live my life full of Love, Grace, Happiness, Joy and Serenity because it is my birth-right, my honor, and my gift to give the world. My two little girls will grow to know it only as their truth from the moment they took their first breath. That very idea breathes new life into a world that needs the hope of their souls to spread like fires, purifying the vibrations of the world and creating a new paradigm that holds the promise for better tomorrows.

You must have love in your heart before you can hope. -Yoruba Proverb

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,
Leah

Grieving

Grieving is a part of life. One that is not often experienced to its full potential due to the fact that we as humans tend to work as fast as we can to move away from any discomfort. I don't advocate dwelling in sorrow and depression. I do however believe that when loss occurs honoring the feelings of pain, sorrow, heartache, anger, helplessness, confusion and loss help make the process of grieving turn into a transformation of self. Being witness to what is lost and how he/she/it affected us while they were with us shows growth through reflection. It allows us to breathe in the moments and see how they changed us or how we would like to change with their passing.

Death in my opinion would be the deepest level of grieving as its finality is so obvious and reminds us of our own mortality. I have come to view death as a new birth for a soul- a belief that is taught in many Eastern Religions. This brings a lightness to the passing of an individual that helps center the grieving back around to me- the person experiencing the loss. Death is the last moment a person can make an imprint on our lives. How we choose to move forward with this moment is their final gift.
I have visited the depths of grieving once and after 11 months of being a walking zombie I decided to climb myself out of the valley of sorrow and reach for the highest peak of life I could see and started walking. I turned the grieving experience on its tail and worked it to my advantage. I had lived in the pain long enough. It was time to honor, to accept and let go. To gather my courage and make the changes that I had wanted to make in my life for a long time. To use the anger and pain as my backbone when I just didn't feel I had the energy to keep going. Knowing you can overcome something that seems insurmountable shows you just how strong you really are and just how capable you are to do anything you set your heart and mind to.
When the loss of a loved one ends with things left unsaid and issues unresolved a lot more healing needs to take place. I do believe this healing is possible and may be more life changing as the courage to face the inner demons and forgive now runs deeply between the individual and God. The person who is now gone no longer holds resentments or anger. These are released and worked through at the passing. Utilizing this knowledge helps to know that once you are ready to forgive and forget the pain really can run out with the tears never to return again.

Grieving the loss of a marriage, job, home, or friendship can be just as painful because the loss is viewed as something that you had control of on some level. The process of release is still the same. Honor the feelings, live in the pain and once it fills all the crevices of your very being let go. Imagine them falling to the earth in your tears. Exiting with your screams. Silently drifting off with your breath. However they need to leave when it is time letting them go allows for the transformation- the real healing of the soul. Once free you can fill these spaces with new memories, new energies, new loves, and most importantly a new you. Allowing yourself to live through the pain also allows for reflection of what may have went wrong. It allows for the lesson to present itself so it doesn't have to be relived again. It allows for new seeds to be planted and old patterns to be released.

Remember that grieving over life changes is a healthy and sometimes necessary process in growth as well. While transforming into the Divine Souls that we are becoming we are letting go of an old way of life that was comfortable and familiar. It wasn't wrong, it just isn't right for the new paradigm we are creating. Honor what was and grieve if needed. This process doesn't have to be painful. It does need to be acknowledge as it deserves a final farewell. Once released it is gone only to be brought back in distant memories or situations if needed to solidify the severed ties. Our universe is doing wonders to help us with this release and utilizing these energies to assist with this process makes the grieving process at times more manageable and at the very least more productive.

We are Divine Souls having a Human experience. We are here to live this life because we choose to do so. It is our honor to know all the aspects of this human endeavor and that includes the more painful times also. View Grief as a gift and honor it as a chance for transformation. Face it with an open heart, utilize prayer, and know you are surrounded by the Divine Love of God.

It is my honor to Serve and to be present for all the changes that take place in our world today. Thank You to each of you for choosing to be here now.

In Love & Light,
Leah

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

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
