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

Lunar Gift
This Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse we experienced last Wednesday was truly magical. I traveled to Lake Crescent- a beautifully serene lake that rests at the base of the Olympic Mountains and their rain forests. The water is tropical to deep blue and with no wind sits like a glassy mirror reflecting the surrounding beauty. I visited a spot I had been to before and walked using my guidance to find the perfect place to sit and soak in the transforming energies. The experience was breath taking, physical, mental, and in the end very spiritual. I was gifted this time for a reason and have found that the gifts I have received over this summers Eclipse series are really starting to integrate nicely into my being. While soaking in my meditation I was pulled to write a poem of the surrounding life that shared this wonderful experience with me. It is my gift to share and captures a moment of pure bliss. Enjoy.
Crescent Light
Spider silk glitters in the sunlight
Maple leaves reach to touch the waters light
Water laps the rocky shore
Flies dance above the lakes edge
Moss hangs off shady trees
I rest my soul and reach for the stars
Fallen trees create a new home for young fish
The wind ripples the glassy bay
Birds sing their afternoon tunes- celebrating life
River flows clean and soft- whispers of travels down the mountain
Clouds break releasing sunlight on the foggy day
I sit at the waters edge and release my fears away
My new day is here
My life has opened into a new Divine Space
I heal with every breath
Love & Light,
Leah McCullough

Live with Purpose
Since the beautiful Summer Solstice I have found a peace- a quiet space- that brews up within me and empties like the tides. I have experienced deep pain. I have touched the very fibers of my dark side and burned them in the summer sun. I have felt the relentless vibrations from the planets above rain down and spin my insides demanding change. I move with the flow, I enter the deep when shifted. I call to the Masters and Angels when it gets to be too much. I breathe. This is the time for acceptance of our callings. This is the time to honor and acknowledge the voice within that softly whispers. This is the time to learn to ride the wave and find the safe place when all else feels full of chaos and emptiness.
I have stayed open for the last new moon to allow for intentions to manifest as needed. The Lunar/Solar eclipse series we are currently moving through has left me all but ripped to shreds and moving with the flow is the only way I can live in sound mind and body. I have become acutely aware of my surroundings. My physical body and spirit have melded more into one through this transformation and I am more in touch with the words that whisper on the winds. I hear the call for change from the heavens and gently bow in acceptance. I create each day with prayer and move through it with love. For the last six weeks I have heard the following phrase repeated and so I have taken it on as my mantra- 'Live with Purpose'.
It seems so simple yet most of us don't live our everyday lives with purpose. We eat, drink, and move through our days almost in a zombie state doing the same things over and over again. Living with Purpose requires more thought, more inner prompting to move from one thing to the next. Multitasking is hard to do while living in the moment. Living with purpose requires us to say each day 'I will do as I am guided, be the Face of God and share my Love along the way'. I have worked this new mantra into my life slowly. It wasn't easy to allow myself to slow and take every moment into account as being unique. Especially the tasks I preform everyday. My ego self also took offense as it often does when another task is taken from its grasp. After one full moon cycle I was able to make the shift. I woke one morning and decided it was time to live the fullness of the day. After that is has grown more and more fulfilling to doing everything with purpose. I eat with purpose. An idea that is needed in my life right now. I was amazed at how much better I felt when I stopped, listened to my bodies needs and then filled them with the foods requested. This simple act of honoring my body has allowed me to feel more energetic and assists with my bodies given nutrition requirements day by day. I also walk with purpose. I slow myself down and walk more consciously. I exercise and honor my body and make adjustments to my speed when required. I listen to the needs of my joints when a road is too hard or a hill too steep. I also hear when my body just wants to move, dance, be free to stretch. Today I was guided to imagine love flowing from my being as I walked. So on my morning walk I imagined my love float on the breeze and touch those that walked the same path. What a wonderful thought to share my spirit and love with others unknown to me. Helping, healing, reaching others with only the intent of love- theirs if they so choose to allow it.
Prayer has helped me live with purpose. I can express to the Mother/Father God my love and gratitude for each day and each night. I honor this body temple that was given to me to have this human experience. I honor my spirit as holy and a piece of God. Prayer not only for me or my loved ones but for all. Giving the gift of praying for those that need it regardless of their religion or awareness is honoring humanity and a service you can provide to this world you live in. Living with Purpose requires gratitude, acceptance, complete surrender, trust, and hope. I will always believe the best in humanity because without that hope and belief all seems lost. I trust life is moving into better times and better spaces because there is no other way I want my children or myself to live. Living with Purpose means I am doing my part each and every moment to make my prayers, my dreams, my hopes a reality. I create a ripple in the waves of vibrational space and time. Forever touched by my love this world is one drop closer to peace, love, and healing.
Live with Purpose. Live in Purpose. Honor your Divine Self.
Touch the stars and know you are never alone.
My prayers are always with you.
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.

To learn more about the ever changing planetary cycles that are affecting our lives and planet I recommend these two sites:
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.

Meditation
I have been working on different meditation forms that visually come to me as I maintain presence in my daughters nursery while they fall asleep. Since I am actually performing my service of presence for them I have a hard time going into deep meditation. I decided that I would use this time to perform Reiki on myself, stretch quietly if the movement doesn't distract them from falling asleep, and doing more 'active' meditation. I call it active because instead of going within and finding my quiet place I visualize. Today my visualization was a guided meditation that was a beautifully Divine gift. I allowed the meditation to flow, the beauty of it was life changing. I will utilize this meditation regularly as it was extremely effective.
The meditation is centered around the 5 elements and clearing the energies of the body. It also assists with clearly seeing the chakras without the the interference of the body. Allow this to flow at its own speed and visualize each step feeling the sensations of each element as well as releasing any energies or feelings that come up. Just flow...
Sitting in the crossed leg or lotus position breath in deep cleansing/centering breaths. In through the nose and out through the mouth or nose. After feeling your center on your next exhale imagine your physical body slowly disappearing and draining out through your base chakra into the earth. Once the essence of the body is gone become aware of the aura that highlights the emptiness of your physical shape.
Become aware of your chakra column. Make note of any other energy points that may also be seen in the emptiness. At this time breath in to each chakra and balance if required, cleanse if needed, and speak to any new energy points to learn of their purpose, then just breathe.
When your are ready imagine a bright white light come into your emptiness from your crown chakra and fill the shape that was your form. Allow it to pulse and radiate out of your aura. Then on an in breath request the light to soak into your very being. Touching every molecule of your body, mind, and spirit. As it is being absorbed notice the light slowly reveal the physical body again. Once you feel the physical body again allow it to drain as you did before. Notice if it is faster, slower, or similar in speed.
Once the drain is complete on the next in-breath allow the element of fire to enter from your base chakra and feet chakras. Visualize the flames, witness the movement. What do your feel, what do you smell. Give thanks as it burns away all unwanted vibrations, energies, feelings, and unwanted thoughts. Once it has hit the crown chakra witness your physical form in flame. Notice the beauty and be aware of the sensations and feelings that may be coming up.
When you are ready visualize water in the form of a waterfall or rain entering in from your crown chakra and slowly putting out the fire and at the same time draining you and clearing you of what needs to be removed and let go. Using your base and feet chakras as drains into Mother Earth. Again, notice the sensations of what the water feels like, how it smells and what if any energies remain after the fire is extinguished and replaced. Feel the essence of water within you. Notice how calming and refreshing it feels. How akin you may feel to it as our body is made primarily out of this substance.
When you are ready notice at the base and feet chakras again the water forming into ice. Slowly moving up the legs, torso, hand, arms, neck, and then finally head. How does this feel, smell, taste, or sound. Is it heavy or constricting. What feelings come up with these sensations. Notice the colors and textures.
When you are ready imagine a warm red sand flowing in from the top of your crown chakra breaking down the ice and melting away unwanted feelings and releasing old patterns. As you feel the sand fill and swirl inside you notice how freeing you feel or what you may still be holding on to as the ice recedes and the sand connects with your base and feet chakras and finally into Mother Earth. Feel the connection to our host Mother. What areas of your body feel tight or still feel constricted.
When you are ready breathe in and request that the gift of wind blow away any remaining energies, vibrations, thoughts, patterns, or pain into the air to be sent back to the Divine Mother/Father God to be healed and transmutated. If it helps imagine a clear bubble of light that will gather the sand and energies that are being released. Once the wind has cleared you of all remaining sand allow the bubble to pop releasing and cleansing.
Notice that all that is now left is your empty shape again. Allow yourself to be filled with the white healing light again and slowly allow the physical form to enter from the crown chaka and complete itself at the base and feet chakras.
Breathe deeply. Give thanks and remember to follow any intuitive information you received and as always drink lots of water to help with toxin release.
Thank you Divine Buddha for your Love and Guidance with this meditation.
Namaste,
Leah
