Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse etc

So are you cleaning house of all your old emotional baggage?  Feeling a little overwhelmed by life and emotions?  Wanting to just hide away in a cozy corner with a book and a bag of M&M's?  Well, maybe it's just me, but it is a BIG time right now. 

Breathing helps. 

A little. 

Moving your body, stretching, walking helps. 
 
A little. 

But mostly the best thing to do is just be. 

Sit. 

Go within. 

Don't think.  Do "try" to connect within yourself.  Just allow yourself to move into a space of the loveliness that you are.  It's there, but it might be a little tricky to find. 

But you'll get there. 

I promise. 

We'll go together.

Read this in the meantime, and DO the exercise at the end:

Upcoming New Year

Last night as I was going to sleep I had a whole great blog in my head about life's changes, illness, gratitude, etc, but of course, it's brilliance vanished by morning.  Next time I'll get up at midnight and just type it.

BUT ... I read this great message this morning.

Acceleration

Have you felt like things have just SPED up yet again in the past few weeks?  I can barely hold on and am almost getting seasick from the rollercoaster ride.  But Selacia's information helped!

Happy Solstice!

 
Solstice Blessings to all!
I found great assistance in two articles today, and since I couldn't decide which one to share, here they both are!  Keep breathing!

~Dee is a local (northern Minnesota) writer and transformational assistant ... always helpful!  http://www.spiritual-transformation.net/Musings/


~Here is an article about the astrology right now from Michelle Karen that I loved:

A HUGE COSMIC PORTAL
2012 is already here and now!!

As the Sun enters Capricorn at 9:47 AM PST, comes a time of powerful healing, vision and manifestation….
We are entering a very magical time during which our highest visions will be coming true.

As long as we stand in the highest integrity, whatever we focus on today, will manifest. During the 12 Sacred Nights of Christmas, we are dreaming the next year. Starting on the night of December 24-25, January will be revealed to us, on the night of 12/25-26, February, etc…

We could feel a sense of elation, that we already are not quite in the old world anymore, that its limitations no longer apply to us. Even in the face of adversity, we could feel joyous without any reason. Sudden, unexpected messages bringing us hope and comfort could be spontaneously offered to us sometimes by complete strangers, supplementing what we wished for and may have not dared truly believe in.

As we express our individual needs with great sensitivity to our own truth, our external values change.  Through our own healing, it is humanity we are healing. There is a sense of great inner connection to an individual vision that fits a collective one. We may be experiencing something in a very personal way and realize that many other people are going through a similar process, simultaneously.

We may consider moving, relocating… But really it’s a whole reinvention of our lies that is at stakes here. We need to go to the depth of our being, completely regenerating at a cellular level.

During our sleep, we are communicating with other realms and retrieving powerful information we may or may not remember upon waking up, but that is inspiring our daily lives nonetheless.

Generosity inhabits our hearts. We want to share our good fortune and even the things we may think we don’t have. We could discover resources in the form of ideas, projects, associations with others that we never suspected were there for the taking. We are inspired by the magic that we are creating with others and within ourselves, discovering the beauty of just being, moment to moment.

Our words, our thoughts carry more weight than ever before. We need to focus on all things in a positive manner, thus creating the outcome we want. We are now CREATORS!!! Let us not underestimate the intensity of our ability to turn things around not just for ourselves, but for others as well.

We are freeing ourselves from limited/limiting beliefs/circumstances. We are opening new windows in our lives, finding doors we never even knew existed…. We are discovering just how powerful we are when we are positive and happy, focused on the best possible outcome.

The chart of this solstice is extraordinary. Let us celebrate it by starting a journal in which we do not passively express what has happened to us during the day, but what we want to see manifest in our lives, in the present tense. We’ll be amazed at how easy it is to dream a whole new world into reality!

Wishing you the loveliest of holidays and a MAGICAL 2010!
In Loving Light.

I DEEPLY appreciate Lauren and want to be her.  Does this help YOU??

http://consciousco-creationalcoaching.blogspot.com/2009/12/1221-out-with-old-in-with-new.html

Keep breathing!
LOVE to all~

i'll be there

This song keeps popping up ALL over the place.  I even woke up with it in my head this morning.



It's been a helpful reminder that I am not alone and my family is not alone.

My mom starts chemo treatments tomorrow.  It's not a new road, she's beat breast cancer previously, but it's still a shock.  We are preparing for an EASY journey with lots of laughter and nurturing things.  Unfortunately it probably doesn't include chocolate.  A new diet for health and immune-boosting is in the works.  Anyhow, we so appreciate any prayers and healing, as she knows it works and is deeply grateful.

December email newsletter

Holiday Blessings to you all!

In this season of gift giving, holiday parties, family gatherings, there are other transitions happening. Energetically (on some level) we are wrapping up loose ends, completing old projects, and closing doors. It is happening in a myriad of ways ... health issues, jobs, new homes, or emotional clearing or physically clearing your space. It's pretty standard for this time of year when the darkness before the Solstice encourages us to look at what is no longer serving us, but this year seems amplified by the upcoming Solstice, Mercury Retrograde, then a Full BLUE Moon and Lunar Eclipse on New Years Eve. Don't resist the changes, just get it done, know it's all going to be okay in the end, and be open to what the NEW things are coming. Most of us don't have a clue about what the new might be yet, but TRUST that it is there soon.


With this in mind, I would like to announce that Crystalline Light is making another shift.


As of December 31 I will no longer be at the office in Burnsville.

It is an exciting, yet slightly sad change (I have been in that building for a few years), but I know it is going to allow me to create new things and find new doors opening. No worries, Kathy, Pam, and I are still on great terms and will no doubt still be working together in some format. I am continuing on with the same work as always, but for now will be offering sessions and shopping appointments at my home office in St Paul near Como Park. There are a few new possibilities in the works also, including writing, travelling to other locations for sessions and gift sales, and more.

I so THANK YOU all for the years of support at the Burnsville location, for without you it would not have been possible. I am grateful for every experience and am looking forward to serving you in NEW ways!

And keep reading below for a few special offers during this transformation.

Sending holiday blessings and light to you all!


Holiday Special Offers


Between now and December 30, 2009, I am offering MultiDimensional Sessions for only $55 in Burnsville.

Experience a new level of energy work that is connecting YOU with more of YOU.

Read more about sessions here.

Stuff

Ahhh how lovely to do nothing and then rest afterwards.

It's been a busy week, and bound to be another busy week.  Thanks to everyone who has commented on my updated blogging streak, I am grateful you are reading even if I am snarky (ie last weekend).  Shifting and processing through stuff is pretty standard these days, and I find it helpful to write to move through it.  And I know it will help *some*one along the way too.  Life has just dealt some snarky experiences lately, I am not always snarky.

[Okay I am over using the word snarky now, I just like it.  It's a cool word.]

Quick updates about why I am snarky (ha!):
  • I am moving out of my office at the end of the month.  It's a good thing, it's been coming for a long time, my friendships with office partners are intact.  But it is still a little hard to release something you have had for so long when you don't know what is next.  Still some details to work out.
  • I don't know what is next.
  • My mom was diagnosed with lymphoma in her spleen last week.  It's been a month of tests and wondering and befuddlement because there were no symptoms.  But it is a stage one, highly treatable cancer and we will be kicking it's butt with positive attitudes and laughter.  Conversation today as mom is typing an email to someone:  "What do I have again?"  "Uhhh... CANCER!"  Of course she meant what type of lymphoma with medical terms, but we are rather light-hearted about things.  Makes it all easier.  She most likely will start chemo this week.  Yep, right before the holidays.  But she kicked breast cancer 17 years ago, she will do it again. 
  • We also found out this past week that another family member has cancer (she's my age), another friend is diabetic, another relative is diabetic, a friend's young (22?) daughter has early stages breast cancer, a friend's dog almost died, another friend had a car accident, a good friend's mom had a stroke, yet another friend's stove blew out .....  yeah, it's just everywhere.
  • Been crying at the drop of a hat lately.  Every little thing makes me tear up.  Scary things and good things.  Songs.  Commercials.  Beautiful lakes.
So there's the scoops.  I wanted everyone to know before I start spilling info and forget to tell you certain things.

On much happier notes:
  • I am so grateful for the Boutique yesterday!  So much fun.
  • Christmas is almost here!  (Even though I just started shopping, but hello, I get to buy FAIRY stuff for my 3.5 year old niece!!)
  • I have fantastic friends.  But I miss them.
  • I am breathing deeper.
Life IS good.

pondering

As I am sitting here at my quiet office, I heard a small voice within say, "It's time to take yourself out of the world so that you can create a new one."

Hmph.

Well.

Guess that's an easy task. :/

But it fits and is timely. Letting go of so many things, dealing with health issues in my family, feeling like I don't want to DO anything, I just want to BE .... it's all the start of the end. Or wait, is that the endings before the beginnings? No matter, it's all the same and it's all GOOD.

I am so grateful!

This journey is amazing even though it's a challenge some days.

Snowy blessings to all!

THANK YOU all!!!

Heart Chakra

My friend Kathy DV posted this on facebook a few days ago, and I have been listening/watching it daily. It's such a heart opener and has way more energy behind it than one would think from "just" a webpage. I love Denise Linn's work and hope you find some quiet heart moments in it also.

Did I mention ...

...the part about feeling like you are starting back at "square one"? (What does that phrase mean anyhow?) Like after everything has been stripped away (as many of us - me included - have gone through this year) you are left with nothing and not sure where to go next? It feels like starting all over again, way back when I first started doing energy healing and selling rocks. I don't like it. It's uncomfortable and out of my "zone". The work put into my business for 8+ years suddenly feels null and void, and honestly, some days, I am not sure if I should keep going or just give it all up and get a boring 9-5 job. Did I really spend all that time so that I can just throw it away? This new space of "beginnings" is for a purpose, it has to be, right?

We have to be clear of everything - E V E R Y T H I N G - that holds us back, that doesn't serve us, that does not bring us JOY and LIFE. When we get to that point, we can CREATE what we want, how we want it, when we want it (now please!), and it is going to be BLISS.

Or something.

It doesn't mean it's not a challenge.

This journey of "ascension" or transformation we are on has not been easy. But we are trying to cram so many lifetimes of issues and karma and clearing into ONE lifetime that it gets a little overwhelming. It gives me great peace to know that not only am I not alone in this -- yeah, I see you there, in the pink sweater and curlers in your hair... I know YOU'RE going through it too -- and that some day we will just laugh at all this. But I keep reminding myself it is ALL GOOD and really, it does feel good in some odd way. I love this journey and would not trade it. Well, most of it.

So yes, personally, I have let a lot of things go (and remind me to blog later about the difference between releasing, surrendering, and letting go) this year and am still in that process. And I am grateful to be free from a few things. It is all going to bring in NEW things that have not been revealed yet and I have no glimpse of (frustrating for my Aries "I need the whole plan" self) just yet. I am opening myself up to the new after I have let go of teaching classes, doing expo's, and now having a committed office. It's a little scary, but I am TRUSTING the guidance and having FAITH that it is all part of a divine scheme to get me to step up into my higher self and truly be ME.


Part Two:

Decision making is not happening right now. UGH. Can we please get to a place where I can PLAN something more than a day ahead of time? Oh wait, but before that can happen I actually have to DECIDE what I want. I have not been able to make clear concise decisions, which are usually easy and clear for me, to save my life. (Again, where does that phrase come from?) From really simple things like where we should go for dinner to really big life-changing decisions like my office.

Example... last night I suddenly got the urge in my whole BEING to be on the North Shore in Grand Marais (for you non-Minnesota people, this is way far northern MN along Lake Superior, about as far as you can go without hitting Canada) like NOW. I could not wait a mere WEEK. Or could I? I don't know, I can't decide. So let me text my friends and ask, "6th or 13th?" Both said 13th. I chose the 6th simply because I could not stand NOT making a decision any longer. I have been wanting to get up here (I am here now) since July. Alone. To just breathe and be and go IN. And to eat Sven & Ole's pizza and walk the frozen beach (it is SO much easier when the rocks don't move! LOL). Anyhow, once I made the decision and was on the road this morning, I felt so much lighter and happier. And then seeing the water this afternoon I started breathing deeper, and now tonight there is a stunning PINK ring around the moon that is rising above the lake right outside my window.

It's heaven.

So why did it take me so freakin' long to get to the decision?

On that note, enough blabbering. Please know I am NOT complaining about my life or what's happening. I am grateful for it ALL and happy to share the joys and challenges with you. Right now it's just more challenges. That could totally change tomorrow. I hope YOU are moving right along with me.

*mwuah!*

Current Shifting

Hello Shifting! Are you experiencing "stuff"? Life changes? Welcome to Now. The past few weeks have been a rollercoaster YET again. Does it ever stop? I am not sure, to be quite honest.

Here are a few thoughts about what I'm noticing from my own life, friends, and clients:

~There are OLD emotions, situations, thoughts, etc, coming up. Big time. Things you *really* thought you were done with a long time ago are resurfacing. It's best not to resist it. Just go with the flow, look at it in a new way, and clear it in whatever way you can. Closure and tying up loose ends is a theme, and it is simply so that we can move on to a higher place without much baggage.

~TIME is funky. See yesterday's blog. It is basically disappearing. Other dimensions of reality are opening up. More about this will be revealed in the next few months.

~HEALTH. People are experiencing MAJOR health issues, either personally or they have someone in their life who is dealing with new, sometimes unexplainable, physical health symptoms that require medical care. It is related to old things that need to be released. Just take it day by day and breathe and know that it will be resolved with vibrant health and light.

~People are dying. Lots of people are choosing to pass over right now.

~It's a challenge to be around other people. It might be hard to leave your own little circle of your Self, since that is what feels safest right now. Feeling out of sorts or really cranky at other people? Even though we have families, friends, coworkers, etc, that demand our attention or time, taking as much space for yourself as you can is helpful. It is a good time to go within for some answers that you may need.

~PLANNING anything is hard. It's a time to very much be in the moment, and planning things out further than a day or two just doesn't work. We need to be very present and go with what feels good in each moment.

Remedies that can help right now:

Sleep. Lots of rest.
Breathing. Deeply.
Just BEING. Step out of DOING for a bit.
Eating fresh greens and juices.
Despite what's listed earlier, MOVE your body. Walking, yoga, stretching, whatever gives you joy and is easiest for you.

HOPEFULLY a lot of this is already shifting out so that we can enjoy the holidays and not be crabbypants.

And PLEASE feel free to comment and discuss in the comments here! Let's share what we're all going through and support each other!

Happy weekend everyone!

The Now of Random Thoughts

Where does the time go? Really. I mean, seriously, how can it be that it is already December 4, 2009?! I just do not understand. This whole TIME thing is just really throwing me for a loop these days. And then there is the BENDING thing. What happened yesterday afternoon seems like 3 months ago, and then something I did THIS morning seems like 2 days ago. And yet, there are times when I fall asleep around 10:30 pm, sleep so soundly, then wake up thinking it must be close to sunrise, I will glance at the clock and it's only 11:28 pm. HOW does that happen?

*sigh*

Which leads me to blogging. The whole TIME thing has just thrown my love of blogging out the window, because I do not have TIME for it. Or something. I am partially just lazy too. And then there are BIG, cool, awesome or even challenging moments or experiences I know I should blog about because someone out there will 1) get a kick out of it or 2) find some meaning and strength in it and know they aren't alone in these goofy times we are living in right now. Well, most of the time, those are the moments that I am just to friggin' tired to get to my computer and click on one little button before I start typing. Silly. But totally true. And I feel bad.

I think there is a new dis-ease called Blogger Guilt. And I have it. I mean, hello, I READ blogs every day, I use and adore google reader to keep them all in one happy spot, and I find so much information and inspiration from them all. I even started thinking last week that I want to become the Pioneer Woman for the spirituality/transformation/ascension/metaphysical/holisticblahblahblah field. That woman rocks it. She is inspiring and adorable, and she has a freakin' amazing website and book. And if I want to be like her, I guess I'd have to blog more, wouldn't I? I have people left and right and upside down telling me that I need to WRITE more. "Where is that book you're writing? Why don't you write about that amazing healing session you had with your client? You need to write just for the sake of writing." Over and over and over and I still don't DO it.

But this is my attempt. And I probably sound like a complete babbling idiot. But ask me if I care! LOL

Okay, that is out of my system now. Thanks.

And yes, this is the start of a whole new blog series to come! Whoo hoo!

What I had *intended* to blog about as I started typing just now, which I had mentioned to a friend this morning to make me more accountable, is that the energies we are in right now are massive. As in MASSIVE. Are you feeling it?

Yeah.

Thought so.

I'll write more about it tomorrow.

;)
