What's New

It's time to allow change and ascend. For the next year and a half we are up for some challenging times. Some of us more than others. But it is all cultivating for 2012. I know that when 2012 comes near it will not be a sudden shift into a new way of being. It will still be gradual. As it has been for the past several years and even decades getting us to where we are today. But 2012 marks a shift that gets us all into gear. We will all still be on our own rungs. No one is left behind. But it is reported that the marginal increase in conscious awareness will hit the breaking point and we will have tipped the scales for all to move forth at a greater depth into our evolution. We will really hit the ground running. For those that have paved the way, it assists the rest in a smoother transition. Several of us will be ready and willing to provide help for everyone who asks for ascension assistance. The awakening begins for some and steps it up a notch for others. As we near this timeframe, anyone reading this can take note of becoming conscious *now*, not later. We don't need to wait for 2012 to begin our process, nor have we. We are ascending now. And the more conscious we go through life the more strength we put towards our ascension.


Solar Eclipse 7/12/10

Every day, take a few minutes or more devoting yourself to becoming conscious in your ascension. Live in the present moment. Come to the awareness of gratitude, faith and joy. Live in this space. Take it with you wherever you go and with whatever you do. When faced with challenged...really *face* them. Don't walk away, hide or bury the issues anymore. Step up and see them for what they are. Come to the witness state and hear the lessons that you need to hear. Know that we are all in this together. We might feel alone but we are all One. Know that with every situation, it is not good, not bad, it just IS. So be with it. See it for what it is, transmute it into light and release it. Cultivate higher vibrations of peace, appreciation, joy and Love. As you do this you assist in your ascension process and give it greater power to occur within you in the most nature beautiful ways. It become easier to be with this change when you are conscious of what it is and where it's coming from. Lastly, a quote from Panache Desai, "It's not what you are doing. It's who you are Being." Allow your fullest expression to be. Express what is inside of you (your gifts, your skills, your way of being, whatever makes you You). :)

Yoga Pose for July

Modified Tripod
Image courtesy of my son. I couldn't find this pose as I wanted to show it, so I had my Husband take a few pictures. I didn't like the way the clothes I wore portrayed the pose so my son was happy to take this photo of me this morning after my work out. Thanks handsome! :)

This pose is a preparatory pose for Headstand. Although I don't mind if I end up staying in this pose and never reaching headstand. It's that surrender I'm sure that will eventually allow me to reach the Headstand pose someday. We must always be where we are and not where we think we should be. Honor the wisdom of the body always. This pose is oh so filled with alertness. Blood rushing to the head but so good. A great inversion. And great if you just haven't gotten there for a headstand, you can still feel the benefits within this modified version.

Directions on how to come into the pose:
Come to child's pose. Allowing your hips to come back to your heels, forehead resting on the mat. Arms stretched out in front of you. Then bring your hands under your shoulders, elbows bent close to your sides. Roll onto the top of your head, your crown. Using only full pressure on your arms, lift your buttocks up in the air and with knees bent left them over your elbows. Hold here. Never press down on the head and never hold the weight in your neck. Rather use your arms and hold in the belly for extra balance. Listen to the stillness within this inversion. Come out when ready. You can also do this pose up against a wall as a great modification.

When not to do this pose or to modify/Contraindications:
If you have back or neck injury or pain. I highly recommend only doing this pose in the guidance of a yoga teacher. They are able to best see that you are in the position properly and safely. They will assist you and allow you to go further as you progress in your own perfect divine timing.

Surrendering to Faith
with a Zen Parable

"There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness, or sickness or wellness. There is only a Stream of Well-being. The question that you're wanting to ask yourself is, "In this moment, am I letting it in or not? Am I allowing it or am I not?"
~ Abraham-Hicks.com

There is a Zen parable I would like to share in this month's Inspirations article. It is a story that has assisted me during a recent challenging occurrence. Someone close to me told a lie that I was saying unkind things about another person they love. Of which I never did or said anything of the sort. What's worse is, this someone is someone I love dearly. And because there is a case of a mental disability here, the most hurtful thing is that it's possible he believes what he has shared as true. So even though I know it's not true and others have accounted to my character and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it would never be true, there isn't much we can do but wait, hope and assist this person in working through their issue.

We don't know why or what brought on this fable or false reality story. It could be misconstruing a dream for reality. It could be a story to get attention. It could be that it did happen with someone else and because it's hard to see it from that person they put the blame on someone who can "take it" and know they will still love them. Or he is pushing that very person away for whatever reason. It could be that a totally unrelated stressful change or experience occurred and something was triggered in this person's brain to come up with some kind of coping mechanism through a story? Who knows. The possibilities are endless. And it could be that as my Husband said he kept hearing this phrase today, "There is no why. There only Is."

My heart breaks none-the-less. I know those that know me and my beliefs as well as my character know it's not true. It's one thing if I actually thought those untrue things this person said I said, but I don't even think those things. Anyone who knows me knows I strive to see the light in everyone and it's only more challenging with folks who are truly evil. Obviously this person is not even close to what was said about her and cares about her loved ones. The person who said these untrue things, I love dearly and that I want only the best for. I would never say or do anything to harm this person or anyone they love (or anyone for that matter). And even if, in the twisted reality where this came from, they still believe it, talking about it is a beginning for this to question and bring into their awareness that this story isn't real. And ultimately, the hope is there is a healing for this person. That those in authority will take note of this with him and work with this person and these occasional realities and see if this is stemming just from the stress of a new change (or changes) in their life. Either way, for this person to begin to figure out what they are really feeling and from where this came from is hopeful.

"The standard of success in life isn't the things. It isn't the money or the stuff. It is absolutely the amount of joy that you feel." ~ Abraham.Hicks.com

The above quote is where I am at. I know everything happens for a reason. So it is up to me to discern any lessons I gain from every experience as best I can. I know that things will happen. Waiting for the other shoe to drop when in a happy moment is a recipe for disaster. Worry is manifesting what you are worrying about. History of prior patterns if looked at as something that will occur again, will make it occur again if you believe it will. Life *will* happen. Challenges will occur. We must must must vent our frustrations/anger/worry/fear, etc. (by talking about it, writing about it, etc.) and then release it to the ether. Let go and shift towards light. There is light even in challenging moments. I see that and I recognize this. I see it even yesterday in the person these untrue comments were aimed at and in those around them. I see it in the person who spoke the lies. I see it in our neighbor's. It's always there. It never leaves. And I know that we can come at any challenge with this view, with this peace, this stillness and still feel the joy and peace that life brings us.

The gratitude I hold is something I work at consciously feeling every day. It's easy during good happy times. It's a bit harder during challenging moments like today. But I get there. I do my best to be in the moment of highest vibration to allow my body to continue its conscious ascension even during harder times as best I can. But I never ignore an issue. I process it, I vent, I feel, I release it, I see the light in the situation and even when I don't know the good "ending" or solution of it, I know it's there. It's always there and sometimes presents itself at a later time as well. Either way, for me, it is not about not feeling the happy moments to the fullest because you're too busy waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's about riding the waves and remaining in the peaceful center. Shining my light as best I can in every moment. I am not perfect and am truly growing and working at doing this consciously more each day in every moment. I'm not there yet but I am doing the best I can as consciously as I can.

For me, today the story I come to is of a Zen Master. This Zen Master lived in a Zen center within a community. There was a teenage girl who lived next door who ended up pregnant. Her parents were livid. They demanded she tell them who the father is. In fear of their wrath and for whatever reason she pointed her finger at the Zen Master. The family believed their upset daughter. The Zen Master was confronted. He did not deny or confirm their accusations. When they told him what their daughter said, he simply stated, "Is that so?" The parents left in a huff and told anyone they could to stay away from the Zen Master and his center. The Zen Master received ridicule and poor treatment from his neighbors after this. When the baby was born the parents went to the Zen Master and handed the baby over to him. They said, "You did this. You take care of him." So the Zen Master cared for and loved the baby as if he were his own for a full year. That baby received the best treatment any baby could. Around this time the daughter finally gave in to her guilt as it tore at her. She knew the truth. So she finally told her parents the truth, that this man was not the father of her baby. That it was, in fact, another teenage boy in her school. Her parents went to the Zen Master and apologized profusely for their mistake and they took the baby back for their daughter to raise.

One positive thing to take from this is that baby had beautiful divine care during his first year of life. Another positive, the daughter now knows the internal strength of truth and integrity on a deeper level. I'm sure she will instill something of this learning with her child. Another for the parents and judgmental neighbors of the town, they now know that judging when you truly don't have all the facts isn't wise. And that even when you think you know all the facts, you don't. You never will. Judging anyone based on any information just isn't wise. Even and especially judging oneself. Now there is discernment of situations that is required for living. But judging is not recommended. Judge not, lest ye be judged. I always come back to my favorite phrase: "It's not good. It's not bad. It just is."

Now, I know I might not have relayed this story in exactly how it was told to me, but the essence is there. And I also know that for me, I would have at least said that this was not true and maybe then simply accepted whatever it is they believed after that. Just as I did yesterday. For me, I had to say that this story was a lie, whether they believed it or not. So for me, this story is assisting me in having some faith. In knowing that, "this too shall pass". And in knowing that even if every one else may not know or, for some, may not believe me... I know. I know the truth and I know within myself the good person I am and try to emulate out to the world. I know that God knows, as God is within me and everyone. And in that knowing faith is cultivated and strong. I am also so very lucky and blessed to know that I have the support of my Husband and several others and their faith in me too. With my Husband we can hold this faith together and ride those waves. Where possible having another does help.

But I also know this is an internal process as well that I alone must come to peace with. There is a sense of a loss of power over this situation. I can only share my truth and pray that others will see the light. Even then I must surrender that wish. As I surrender it all to the Divine, a faith is instilled and although only slightly there yet, I feel it even now. The faith inside me is building.

Update: Recently, this person has confessed to lying about me. So they knew during the event and after that they were lying. There might have been some reason at the time that they decided to lie but they can't remember now that so much time has passed. Either way it is nice to know that they know they were lying and that they finally came forward with the truth. Whether this came forward or not, I held my faith and surrendered and that's where my inner peace continued. Though I am very happy to hear that they told the truth as well. :)

So my advice to all those out there dealing with situations of powerlessness or any challenging situation, do what you can within your power in truth and light and simply surrender. Cultivate faith that all is Divine. Everything is always as it should be. See the light in all people and situations. We are ascending through these challenges. So be the witness and see it and release it. Allow your inner stillness to come forth stronger in all situations. Have presence. This awareness is natural within us. It is always there and no one and nothing can take it away. It's is untouched by the outside world. It is your true essence. Embrace the stillness within and meet your true Self. :)

Enjoy, live, laugh and love always!

Blessings to you on your path,

Dear Maggie

QUESTION

Dear Maggie,

Maggie, there seems to be an entity or several different ones that seem to come and go from my daughters rooms. I sage my house and their rooms especially every time they start up again but in the last few weeks my cat has been wanting to hide under my bed and now my poor dog's eyes were so big and full of fear as he was starring at my daughter's corner ceiling whimpering barking and trembling so bad, this is the first time it has affected my dog in that way. There is alot of construction going on here at the base that we live at and it used to be an old WWII army base and before that the land belonged to the Chumash Indians. Is there something else that I can try to do other than sage to make these entities go in peace and leave my daughters alone.

Thank you,
Jeannie

Dear Jeannie,

This is very common and I am unsure if you read my newsletter last month but this is something that I have been working with as well. What is common is that these entities will go to where they sense the most psychically sensitive being. So your young daughter is a definitely candidate. I sage my house daily, energy clear my home daily as well as have my home on an energy machine for better balance and clean energy. However, my daughter will still wake up in the middle of the night, but it is due to extra factors that are out of my control (such as neighbors and their energies and whatever it is they are pulling in). I did note that some of the neighbors were gone this weekend and my daughter slept through the night. Sage can only go so far. It will definitely clean all negative energies and stale stagnant energies that are existing. As it lingers it will act as a shield for a time. (For those who would like to know how to sage, please click here.) So, too, will white light and love. Love being the highest vibration it will detract or deflect any negative/lower vibrating beings from entering or wanting to enter the home. However, negative emotions, pitfalls, fights, mood swings, unforgiveness, depression, etc. are all things that are negative and if not healthily worked through and released in good timing, will drag us down and our vibration right along with it. Having a lower vibration will attract lower vibrating entities. Cultivating a higher vibration through positive thinking, forgiveness, gratitude and love are recommended for ensure you are not attracting these energies yourself.

Yes, construction will also have a big impact on ghosts, energies or entities of that area. Anytime there is upheaval and a major moving around of things, like during construction, it's like you've woken up a sleeping baby. So sometimes anything laying stagnant will be stirred to awaken and usually for removal or renewal. Sometimes after the construction has died down the energies will also settle and other times it is necessary for a stronger more potent and powerful clearing to occur. Everything happens for a reason.

Now, personal vibrations aside, a space and home will have its own vibration. As you noted the history of the home and the land in times past will have an imprint on the vibration of the space. Over time it can be transformed. And the next bigger step for a full on clearing is if you are to bring in a group of strong individuals with strong high vibrations and knowledge of the paranormal that can clear the space, remove the ghosts/entities allowing them to cross over and cleanse the land of any imprints it may have. Having a knowledgeable group there will add synergy to the energy and really packs a punch.

I must say thought, so far with what you have shared, it doesn't seem to be negative or malicious with intent. Sometimes the presence of these ghosts will have an affect on animals because they can see them so easily. The entities know this and will try to gain their attention so they will make you aware of there presence as well. However, go with what the energy feels like. When something occurs (like the dog whimpering while staring at the corner of the room), what do you feel? Put aside logical thinking and any fears and just be neutral. What do you feel? Have you asked the entities to leave when you've felt they are there? Have you asked that they go to the light where they are welcomed with loving open arms? If not, please do so. Do this with Angels by your side for extra assistance and to ease your mind for higher vibrational protection. Visualize with them the happy crossing over and the happy reunion they can have. Feel love and for those soul's that resonate, they will happily cross over. They just needed someone to show them the way and let them know they are loved and accepted.

Now sometimes you will still have neighbors that you can't do anything about. You can only maintain your uplifted vibration, go about your business and maintain a clean and clear space for yourself and your family. For right now, it doesn't sound like it's a neighbor's energy that is the issue, but rather the energy of the land from WWII, the prior owners energies as well as ghosts and entities from this time and the times when the Native American's lived on the land. All of these aspects have created the energy of the land as it stands now. War, death and dying are pretty low on the vibrational totem pole. So it will take a strong vibrational shift as well as consistency thereafter to really make an impact on the land. Sometimes there are messages from ghosts that the ghost feels needs to be heard by someone before they cross over and others times it is simply an imprint of energy that needs to be dealt with. This will take further investigating by a professional team of either paranormal investigators, peace messengers, church groups, etc. Whatever you resonate with most. You can find these folks either online, at some churches and within your local metaphysical shops. Sometimes libraries can be pretty helpful as well. Be sure they have good references and feel right to you. Sometimes we just have to ask for a little help. Where two or more gather a synergy of energy is created that quadruples the affect of whatever would have occurred had those two people done the same thing at separate times.

So we already know you are saging. The next thing, other than finding the right group to come assist in a house and land cleansing as well as cultivating and maintaining higher vibrational thoughts and feelings, is to visualize. Visuazlize pure Divine White Light energy filling every corner and every crevice of your home and land. Do this one room at a time and especially in the room with the most activity (the children's room). Feel higher vibrations of energy. Feel gratitude, joy, peace and love. As you feel these emotions and fill the room with pure energy you are filling the room with this higher vibration. Try to do this daily. I find, for me right now, that although I do this in the morning, it is working best to also do this at night right as my baby girl is going to sleep. I call in the Angels and ArchAngels, especially ArchAngel Michael for assistance every day and night with this process. Angels are our helpers and guides. Do this until you can find extra assistance local to you and even do this afterwards as you feel drawn.

Please do keep me posted and I wish you peaceful resolution and tranquil nights sleep for you and your family.

Blessings,
Maggie
