"Look within. Be still. Free from fear and attachment. Know the sweet joy of living in the way."

~ Buddha

What's New

March came upon us very fast and it seems like we've only just started shifting and releasing some energies that have just shaken the bottle, so to speak. This weekend remember to move your clock ahead one hour! (If you're in the US of course.) The full moon is March 11th and then we will welcome Spring with open arms on the 20th. Yay! The energy is always uplifted as the mass consciousness embraces warmer weather and beautiful green trees and colorful flowers to come! I am definitely one of those that loves Spring time!

Mark the date! Below is our radio schedule for March. Each month we strive to bring forth fresh voices that assist us in the awakening process as well as taking action for a higher way.

  • March 14th: Linda Means - Kundalini & Massage, www.peacehope.com
  • March 28th: Bill Getman - Higher Consciousness

We're on the move this month. This means that I will not be scheduling any classes so that my weekends are free for packing and moving. For any of my services or classes, please give me a ring or shoot me an email. I am following Shiva Rae's philosophy as it feels right: "The Goddess is my agent. I only go where I am invited." ~ Shiva Rae

Moving is great for clutter clearing and trashing all that stuff you realized you never needed all those years you lived in one location. Removing clutter is magical and you truly feel lighter during and after the process! I strongly suggest taking this time as an opportunity to clutter clear. Even just one room or one drawer will make a tremendous difference in your energy and in your life.

Please check back here for monthly updates and as always you can see past newsletters in the archives. Also, go here to check out the newest articles I've added to date! Here's to a magical blissful year to us all!

Mind Awareness - Mind Thoughts
(excerpt from the book Divine Embrace by Maggie Anderson)

“I am aligned with the Universe,
and the Universe is aligned with me.
No longer my mind,
I am free”
~ Maggie Anderson

I couldn't believe it. I did it again! I totally and completely identified with my mind. Oh there were bought's of bliss, of that connectedness to the One Source, but I was back in. I was in the illusion in a major way! The ups, the downs, the yin, the yang. It took receiving a link from a friend of an article by the wonderful Eckhart Tolle ("You Are Not Your Mind") to remind me. And I thank you very deeply!

I had already read Eckhart Tolle's books “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth”. And so I read again what I had known before and soaked it up like it was new…because it was, all over again. I wrote this following excerpt for my book when in the blissful connected moments we all bounce in and out of till we reach total consciousness. We will all get there and then we will "know". Mind thoughts are a disease that most all of us are afflicted and must rid ourselves of. It is time to be the witness and be free from the disease. Free from our thoughts to simply BE!

Be still. Become the witness. Rid yourself of nonsense thoughts. Get rid of negative thoughts about self, about others, about life, and about pretty much everything. The space between is where you can feel utter bliss. Let go of all thought and just be. Try to observe the space between your thoughts, the space between someone else’s thoughts, the space between a musical note, the space between anything. Here you find true connection with the Divine.

"When the mind is silent you are in communion with existence; when the mind is noisy you are disconnected. Your own noise functions like a wall around you. Silence is the bridge." ~Osho

Now, also, positive thoughts bring about positive experiences. The more positive you are the better you feel from within. You can start there. Simply monitor your thoughts. Just watch them without judgment. What are you thinking and feeling now? Right now? Release it. It is not you. It is only the ego that you identify with, but it is not the real you.

Feel the love and gratitude for all you have in your life in this very moment. As you do this you align with higher vibrations that are speeding their way to you with positive experiences.

You truly are doing awesome. We must remember, as much as possible, not to get down on ourselves. When we get down on ourselves, we are talking negatively to our Spirit and body. We have negative thoughts and emotions. This brings our energy down and keeps it down in our energy bodies. If you are clairvoyant you can actually see the cloud of ooze and icky energy within our Energy Bodies. Bring your energy back up. Remain focused! Live in your Joy!

Simply being in the witness state allows you to move through some pretty tough times and some pretty tough ascension symptoms (see Ascension Chapter in the Divine Embrace Book to be published very soon). No matter what the symptom or experience, just be with it. As you watch, as only the observer, you shine the light on the symptom or negative experience and suddenly in its right time it fades away naturally. This is life in the flow. Instead, if you resisted, the symptoms or experience would last longer and be tougher on you. In the witness state you are surrendering and allowing what will be to be, while living in the present moment.

An analogy in yoga comes to mind here. When you are in a pose and simply surrendering yourself to be wherever your body is in that moment for that pose, you allow the wisdom of the body to flow through. If you, however, had resisted the pose or forced yourself further into a pose that your body was not ready for, a tougher experience arises. Simply breathe and allow whatever is in the moment. An advanced yogi or yogini is not necessarily someone who is able to do all the toughest poses at the twistiest furthest level, but instead knowing and listening to the wisdom of the body for every moment. For example, if you can do a full forward bend, excellent. If you feel you are not up for it today or not ready for a full forward bend, but go halfway, excellent! It is the wisdom of listening to that which your body tells you in every moment that teaches you the art of surrender and living in bliss now.

And remember, our thoughts are things. We create from our thoughts and emotions. We also send negative beams of energy or positive beams of energy for whoever is in our thoughts in whatever fashion they are in our thoughts. So if we are thinking not-so-nice thoughts about someone else, they are receiving that icky energy. But if we are thinking nice thoughts about someone, they are, again receiving those nice thought-energy-forms. The important thing to also know is that these thoughts/emotions/ energy we create within ourselves always comes back to us multiplied. We think something it comes back to us much larger. We're in that game of karma. So the more you see positive things and think positive things, the more you receive those. The same goes for the negative.

It’s important to also know that all things in our outer reality is a mirror reflected back to us what is INSIDE of US! So whatever you are seeing, whatever you are noticing, whatever you are judging, whatever you are critiquing is ALL YOU. Whatever you see is something inside you that you created. So it’s very helpful to always see the best in people and the best in all situations. As you do this you create energy multiplied in those positive stances you take.

“So be aware of yourself. Pay attention to your mindfulness. Treat others as you want to be treated, is considered the Golden Rule. What goes around, comes around. Ego, garbage in, garbage out. These are all the same ideas. What you put out comes back multiplied. That is Karmic Law, and that is one of the fundamental laws of the nature of reality.

So your power to shape your life in the Here and Now, in the moment of mindfulness, where the point of power really exists, depends upon your moment to moment choice of what kind of a vibration, what kind of energy and emotions you want to share with the world. Because depending on what you do, what you send out, that's what you're going to get back. Like the expression, "Live by the sword, die by the sword." These all mean the same thing. They are all the essence of Cosmic Law.” ~ Mystic Angelique Serpent, Kundalini-Teacher.com

Meditation is a perfect way to become aware of your thoughts and to rid yourself of those nasty useless things. In meditation you can easily become centered and still. We have useful logical thinking that proves helpful for day-to-day things, but outside of this our thoughts are mostly negative or not necessary. Try a meditation where you actually listen for the space between. It’s the space between that carries beauty and grace. The more you practice this, the easier it becomes and the more aware and blissful you become (or rather bring back to the surface of who you truly are). Just breathe. Relax. And be.

Our mind thoughts are a disease. Thinking is a disease and since most all of us have this thinking disease we don’t know it’s a disease. Thinking is a part of the illusion we must remove in order to feel the Oneness with Self and with the All That Is. Our thinking keeps us in the drama and illusions of life. Our thinking causes the suffering we incur every day. We can separate ourselves from the thinking mind and remember we are not separate from others or the world around us. We ARE all One.

Our thoughts create emotions. And sometimes our thoughts seemingly conflict with our emotions. However, that is because we are not aware of our deeply unconscious thoughts from our past selves in this life and others. Become the witness of the emotions instead. That is the core of the truth to witness. There you will simply observe without judgment and then giggle with freedom from ever needing to be in the illusion again! So here is your reminder once again. Remember to be the witness. Remember to simply Be and in that space you are connected and you are Bliss.

“In music, a grace note is the pause between notes that is so important to the pacing of a song. Grace is the state we are in when we are doing nothing but just being who we are.” ~ Daily OM

Enjoy, live, laugh and love always!

Message from the Angels and Me

See Everyone in their Divine Self - Namastè

See the Divine in everyone you encounter. No matter who they are, no matter what story you associate with them, no matter the judgments you process about them, no matter the physical exterior of them, no matter who they mirror back to you. See the Divine in others. And see the divine in you.

At your core essence you are the Divine. You are magickal and beautiful and divine light. You are all that you want to be and more. You are the creator of all things. You are Source and the Source is you. At the inner core of your soul and your entire being you are the Divine. Can you feel it?

Remember. Remember that divine essence in those that you come in contact with. Even in those you see on TV and tiny aquaintances that are mere moments in your day: the doctor you visit, your co-workers, your boss, your friends, your "enemies" aka teachers and in everyone.

Since I am a visual person, when I visualize, it assists my connection to the energy and to the Divine. It enhances my intention in a major way. I will see a person and I will visualize a brilliant light shining from their core, their divine essence. I will forget the outer image and only connect to that. When I do this I am at One with the other and with the Divine in a much higher vibration. Only purity exists. Pure bliss is all I feel.

An Angel came to me in court last week with this very reminder. I could have had intentions and recited them and exhausted a "trying" effort for a positive result. Or simply Be. I chose to simply be and beam a positive loving energy for the highest and best, good of all. I then consciously chose to see the divine essence in all I encountered. To the judge making his decision, only divine loving Source energy. To my ex-husband who was there in contempt for not paying child support, again, only divine loving Source energy. I would close my eyes serene at this experience and simply Be. I simply asked for a postive outcome for all our highest and best, good. I was surprised to hear the jugde send him to jail. However, I reminded myself that it was for the highest and best, good of all. So this is what the Divine decided was necessary. So be it. It is all divine.

Remember the core Divine essence within yourself. Connect to it every day! Many times a day! Remember the core Divine essence within everyone. Pure bliss flows from this connection or rather remembrance. Namastè.

Remember, the Angels are with you and send you lots and lots of love every day!

Favorite Book of the Month:


An Angel in My House
by Tobias Palmer
I came across this book that my mother gave me back in 1998. I found it to be refreshing and I don't even remember if I read it back then. It's so cute and such a fast read! But I am soaking it up little by little so I can stretch out this wonderful feeling reading about the angels in this book gives. If you're in the mood for something simple, soft, peaceful and a wonderful reminder of our beautiful guides, protectors and companians this is a great book to pick up!
