THE PATH OF TRANSFORMATION IS CALLING YOU

Happy Full Moon dear friends!

A few minutes away from this moment when I write this, the Moon is going to illuminate the sky with its greatness. I find it is a privilege that we get to celebrate, and receive the energy that the Moon Goddess is sharing with us each month.

The energy of the Moon invites us to get acquainted to different aspects of our being, as she moves along. She is bringing us the gifts of intuitive power, manifested in the different aspects of our life.

So what are the blessings that she is sharing with us this Full Moon? When She is becomes full in Scorpio, the Moon Goddess brings us the promise of illuminating our intimate relationships. Such an intimate relationship could be with a partner, or a Higher Power, and even your relationship with your Soul.

Over this last week especially, you may have felt that you were thrown into crises or dramatic situations that have challenged you to awaken to a new understanding about yourself. Because the Moon in Scorpio doesn't go just half the distance, it is asking you to dig deep. Look into the darkest corners of your being to find the Truth about that intimate relationship you share with your Soul. Are you on the path of least resistance, comfort and maybe even waiting to have things fall in your lap? Then you may find that this is a time of great upheaval in your life.

When you find yourself in such a place, then the challenges you meet could even create nightmarish experiences, because you probably avoided for too long the truth that your Soul is revealing to you: as long as you are here on Earth, you have to take the highest path, and the path toward living with integrity toward yourself, and reverence and respect toward the Universe. It is this path that keeps calling you to respond to its promptings. It is the path that will eventually lay bare everything that is hiding deep within you. Such a path is not for those that are easily deceiving themselves that they can continue with the same avoidance mechanisms, and ways of telling themselves that everything is fine with their world.

If you are on the path of walking hand in hand with your Soul, you know that it is high time for you to answer the call, and this call is going to bring you great rewards. It is going to reveal to you the life that you grasp with your intuition, and that you yearn to touch it so intimately.

Don't be afraid to look deep, because once you have taken a good look at what is hiding in the dark, the ways to your truth are no longer unknown to you.

You are now receiving a boost of energy to align yourself with the energy that is presented to you. If you feel discomfort, let it be what it is. It is essential at times that you let the energy that flows, to be fully revealed to you, and allowing discomfort to be present, only makes it easier for you to access what is hidden behind it.

Don't wish it away, don't fight it. In no way, will you achieve anything by doing so. Surrender instead to the Higher Power that flows onto the Earth, and with that allow yourself to understand that power lies within the willingness to be presented with a complete transformation of Self. Such transformation is not anything that you can own, and certainly not something that you can direct. It comes to you, it can bring tremendous change in your life, but only if you fully let it work through you, as you are an empty vessel receiving everything with complete openness.

As you are looking at your life right now, reflect on what are the greatest crises that you are facing right now. Consider how much of what you are experiencing deeply as your turmoil is truly your own emotional crisis, and how much of that is coming from outside of you, and you are just taking it all in as your own. Once you do this, make a small circle of prayer or meditation where you release yourself and these crises to the Higher Power in your life, surrendering fully to the shifts that are coming at you. Acknowledge your humanness, and the needs that you might have, which are important for you. Ask to be shown a way to deal with the things that are challenging you now. Yet once something is presented to you as a way of your Truth, don't hesitate to walk that way.

Once you are coming out of this cycle of transformation, your whole being is going to be transformed to the point that you will no longer fear the unknown. You will walk in confidence, knowing that you have found your great ally – your Soul.

WHAT BALANCE YOU EXPERIENCE NOW

Happy Full Moon dear friends!

Moving from the last Eclipse in March 20th to the Eclipse today, you are dealing with a feeling that the whole world is disintegrating and dissolving, while on the other hand things have accelerated in heightening the spiritual awareness, and the inner peace that you experience. This is a signature of these times, and it is important to let go of control and worries now.

One of the things that is really important to do at this time is to take time to meditate, or do something of a meditative form, and stay more to yourself. It could be using a form of meditation where you sit quietly, walk gently and reflect at the same time, or affirm something to yourself over the course of the day to remind yourself of peace, or it could be something like being out with nature, or in the garden using your hands to touch the ground.

The full Moon/Lunar Eclipse that happened today is such a powerful one because it stirs up a lot of emotions, but also a lot of mental activity. Events like the full Moons usually bring with them a lot of restlessness or anxiety. This particular one is forcing you to align the energy of emotion with the energy of thinking. It is getting you to look at your impulsive nature and where you may not be thinking before acting, and end up feeling hurt by those experiences. And it is asking of you to find that middle road, that place in your world where you can be at peace with your journey, and surrender to the understanding that help is available, but it has to come from a form of cooperation that everyone brings into this world, and from a willingness to work together with others instead of just wanting to do your own thing.

During the Equinox event that we had recently with Saint-Germain, the message came very clearly that this world has to learn to cooperate, and be ready to let go of everything that is forceful, and where everyone tries to impose their will on things, or activities. We received very clear messages that now is the time when you are called to heal yourself more than ever, so that you can help heal others, too. Your mind and heart have to be illuminated by the power of Love and the desire to be in service to others, and in service to a world that includes everyone!

The basic idea is that you can't continue to live from an instinctual place, or to continue to follow the same ways of doing things. It is time to bring into awareness where you've been trying to have things your way, and at the cost of the other. It is time to bring into awareness where your approach, as familiar as it was on your journey, was only promoting a self-absorbed way of living, leading to a lot of disruption in your life. Impulsive words, coming from your head instead from your heart are not working anymore. You are now called to change that, to bring the heart into your conversations, to bring a sense of purpose in your life that extends to the the person next to you with genuine love and care, because you know that when you further the well-being of another along with yours, you are connected to this world in ways that you weren't able to feel and experience before. Taking this approach will not only bring balance, and a sense of harmony in your life, but it will bring to you that sense of authority, and being in charge of your life that you've been wanting so much lately.

When you follow this new path, you will feel renewed emotionally, and you will use this resource to grow even more into experiences that bring you and the other next to you joy, love and care.

Take time to reflect on these words and energies dear friends. Take time to be with yourself, but also to celebrate your togetherness with those you care about. Take time to remind yourself that all is well, but in order for this whole world to be well, you have to do your part. You have to take the extra step beyond what is just good for you. It has to be good for you first AND at the same time, it has to be good for everyone that you touch. Everyone that has a connection with you. That's when you are finding balance, and when this whole Earth is healing!

Thank you for being in our lives. With much love, Alex and Dan.

BETWEEN DISILLUSION AND GRACE

Caught in between two major eclipses, you may wonder what is going on? You are not the only one asking this question at this time. When the Solar eclipse started on March 20th, with the Equinox following right behind it, the waters of consciousness have been stirred up. Looking back over the last week, you can see how it has affected you, and how it has affected the world.

You may have felt that you were completely out of control with your life, or your body. Maybe the way that you were responding to the events around you was uncoordinated. At the same time, you felt that the Universe was opening its gates wide open to show you the mystery of life, and the wonderful things that are coming ahead.

On the one hand, you felt how everything was disintegrating in front of your eyes, and many people around you were acting out of fear. Disillusion, confusion, a lack of purpose were on the day's list. On the other hand, your connection to the Divine and the wonders of life were closer to you than ever before. Compassion, unconditional love, and deep contentment were the other experiences throughout your day.

How is this all possible? How is it possible to feel so deep, to reach such a profound place of inner peace and stillness, and at the same time to see the insanity of this world rampant all around you?

All of this happens when the boundaries are dissolving, and the only thing that is left is the Truth. The truth of your Divinity, and Oneness with All that IS. If you've been searching and deeply connecting with this truth, then this is one thing you can hold on to as your reality now. But if you are still struggling to accept this truth as your only reality, then you do experience the disillusion, the disappointment, and the lack of groundedness as the other part of your experience.

Moving toward the April 4th Lunar eclipse, now is your opportunity to review. Reconsider the reality you hold on to so dearly, and look at the only reality that truly IS, and that is self-evident. You are a Child of God, and God also. You are here to immerse yourself in the human experience with the only purpose of remembering and embodying your Divinity in everything that you do.

In reviewing the things that hold you back from accomplishing this purpose in life, you will be able to make decisions about what it is that you need to drop, and where you want to put your full attention and focus. The clarity of purpose and intentions that you put behind your work is going to propel you forward without you needing to invest so much effort as you would, if you were to keep doing things the same way as before.

Once you have accepted that your Soul's purpose in this lifetime is to remember and live your Divinity, you will be much more effective in everything that you do, and you will bring deeper healing in your own life, and in the life of everyone that you choose to interact with. What you DO will no longer be a struggle, but an experience of grace.

However, it is good to know that you will encounter your obstacles. Your fears will speak to you in a voice that will be easy to detect, if you are paying attention. Watch for these symptoms: extreme mental anguish, unexplainable health issues, guilt building up, mistrust around things that used to feel normal to you, and doubt about your abilities. When you notice any of these experiences, you will know that somewhere you have given way to a reality that is not your Soul's. You have made it possible for illusion to enter your world, and to dictate your life. Understand what is happening, and then you can make a change. But please know that you will not be able to push through, and use your will to move through the challenges. It will take more than just will power, and determination. It will require a willingness from you to relinquish control, and to work with the power of your intuition to discover where your resources are truly coming alive.

►LISTEN NOW to the March Equinox channeling event.Saint-Germain shared with us what is going on in the world right now, and what everyone is dealing with on a more personal level. Both individually, and collectively, we are moving away from the more egotistical approach to life, where it's all about "me," with all the passions that can get out of control, the high emotions that fuel selfishness, and the unwillingness to concede, and we are moving toward selflessness and cooperation, thinking before acting, and working on achievable goals by using pragmatism and organization. Our willingness to value peace and harmony against violence and aggression will help bring all of us to a better place. A place that will serve the needs of everyone involved, a place that helps everyone feel that they are winners.
The Saint-Germain channeling and more are available here.

WHY DO YOU NEED TO HEAL?

We recently lost a member of our small community. This man wasn't anyone close to us, but he had enough of a public life that his passing touched a deep chord in many people in this small town.

We lose people that we care about; we lose friends and family. And if you look back at those losses, there is always a simple lesson in the journey of someone's passing from the physical into the ethereal: live your life NOW. Yes, right now, without worrying about the past, or about the future.

Yet most people (including yourself) live either in the past or in the future. Or in a combination of both. Most people don't know how to live in the present. You, yourself are probably struggling about how to live in the now. And why is that? Because you are still trying to heal your wounds.

You may hear this idea going around in esoteric circles that yes, you need to do healing, but at some point you need to stop looking into the past. Agreed. Not one person will benefit if you are stuck in the past, that is quite clear. So, you can't just keep going back, and find yet another reason why everything is "wrong" with you. That is of course not the kind of experience of life that will benefit you, and that will bring you happiness now.

So, how do you navigate this fine line, where healing needs to happen in order for you to experience joy, yet not get stuck in the past, and all the possible wrong things you've done, or that you have been?

It really isn't that complicated.

1. First of all, in this present moment be ready to take your journey into your own hands, and take up the authority over your life. Yes, right here and now is the time to do something about your life. Not tomorrow, yet knowing that it is not too late either.
2. Quit projecting, or displacing your discontent on someone else. Assume full responsibility for your journey, and that includes how you feel, and what you experience every day. This step alone will be such a liberating experience for you, propelling you into a much greater understanding of your journey.
3. Next you need to find what it is that holds you back from experiencing your greatness. Is it a limiting belief you have about yourself? Do you believe that the world around you has a vested interest in keeping you from being happy? How deep you look at this issue, will determine how you proceed from now on with your life.
4. When you look deep within, you will discover some patterns about your life. Some things seem to repeat themselves in cycles; relationships look very similar to each other; your response to life has the same underlying tone about it. So, look at these patterns with both curiosity, but also with an objective distance that gives you the insight you need to further understand your life.
5. Once you've reached this stage in your healing, you probably recognize the actors in your life, and how each actor has played a role, one more pleasant than the other, but important nonetheless. When people show up in your life, you learn from these experiences. Relationships can show you where most of your wounds stem from, and some relationships may even increase the wounding within you.
6. Now you have reached a critical point: you are at the threshold between present and past. Here it is essential that you don't fall too deep into the past, yet it is just as important that you don't overlook anything from the past. You NEED to look at your wounds, you need to face them fully, and then you need to find healing. When you admit and name your wounds, you are able to deal with whatever it is that is holding you back. But when you are also taking the next step in healing these wounds, you are empowering yourself to have a different experience of life.
7. This is where you have reached the core of your whole journey. By allowing healing to come into your life, you no longer give your power to those wounded parts of yourself. You no longer play the game of being the victim of circumstances in your life. You assume responsibility for your experience fully, and you take the matters in your own hands to make sure that you are healed. Once you've reached this stage, you will know already that truly, at the core of your Being nothing about you can be wounded. You are whole, and complete just as you are.

That is why you need to heal. Healing takes away the illusion out of the reality of your life, and you step fully into your Wholeness. You understand that this life is about your journey back into the arms of your Divinity, and your Soul is the guiding light that shines on your path of your human experience. Embrace this journey fully, understand that you are safe at all times, and know that you will receive both guidance and help when you need it. Blessings to you.

SURRENDER TO A NEW LIFE

Happy New Moon everyone!

With the experience of the New Moon upon us, it is wise to reflect on the things that we are going to bring into the world, in this next cycle of activity that begins. But before you envision what you want to achieve next, make sure that you do a thorough examination of what you're leaving behind. And why is this so? Because this is the time to do it.

Maybe in these last few days you've felt an urge to finally let go of old patterns of behavior that seem to sabotage your efforts. But one thing that has showed up in the equation is frustration. A lot of frustrated energy is bubbling up to the surface, and you find that it's quite hard to know why you are getting so annoyed and dissatisfied with everything. But that's happening because you need to pay attention.

Some of your old behaviors and patterns of thinking are too rigid. You are stuck in the head, and instead of relinquishing control, and surrendering to your experience, you hold on even tighter. Have you noticed that your body feels more achy? Do you feel even constipated? Maybe you find that your body is just stiff and doesn't want to move? There you go. You have your signs right there in front of you. Your body is telling you: "Listen to me! You are not going to win through willfulness, nor through excessive use of power. You have to surrender."

So how do you surrender?

Here's a beautiful exercise that you can do today.

1. Sit down in a quiet space, with a pen and a piece of paper.
2. Begin by first breathing deeply, and acknowledging how your body feels. Close your eyes, so that you can feel your body from the inside out.
3. As you keep your eyes closed, begin to breathe in deeply and to drop the weight on your shoulders. Breathe in and out, and let go of any thoughts you have stored in your head for now. Do this for about 2 to 5 minutes.
4. Open your eyes, and take the pen and the paper. Begin to write down the following:

"I want to easily surrender all my worries and anxieties into the healing hands of God/the Universe/my Higher Self."
"In my daily life, I want to consciously and consistently remember that God/the Universe/my Higher Self is in charge of everything"
"I want to easily find myself trusting my Guides/the Universe/God to successfully guide my life"

5. When you write, always get the help of your intuition to help guide your wording, and if you feel that something feels off, use your own wording. Find a way to write what you feel deeply with your heart. (not with the mind!)
6. Next, take the piece of paper, and add it to your journal. (If you don't have one yet, make this your first thing to add to the journal.)
7. Read these statements each night before going to sleep, for at least 7 days.
8. Observe your inner attitudes about trust and surrender over this period of time, and how you change. Write down in your journal how you perceive those changes within.

Surrender isn't hard

Surrender comes when you are willing. It may take some time to learn this practice, but once you have experienced the liberating feeling that is bringing in your life, you will certainly want to get that feeling back. It isn't hard. It just takes practice and your willingness to relinquish control.

You know that too many times it is hard to let go, and it is hard because you don't even realize you are holding on to something. So it does take self-awareness to see first that you have something you try to control, and then there is a need to let go.

Now, the greatest favor you can do yourself is to look at your recent past, and how it has taught you about what you still have unresolved within yourself. Instead of holding on to any grudge, or a sense of frustration that you've done something wrong, or others are doing something wrong to you, without taking any impulsive action, just sit with those experiences in silence. If you get quiet enough, you will notice that something will begin to shift, when you no longer apply judgement to your experiences, or to yourself and the people around you. Instead of getting stubborn and holding on even harder, by allowing yourself to plainly SEE, you see through the situation. And that will help break the cycle of attachment to repeating the same mistakes, and to any disempowering behaviors.

When you reach this place, guess what? Surrender just follows. You find yourself letting go. No longer worrying, no longer holding on, you just surrender to your new life, and the funny thing you find is that it is much easier now experience balance than it used to be.

Repeat this practice whenever necessary, and stay out of trouble!
