Fears Do Not Serve You

I have some left over fears that seem to grip so tightly when my guard is down, like when I'm sleeping. My newest panic attack gripped me at 5am this morning. I woke up feeling the pain in my entire stomach, ribs to pelvis. The fear had its claws in me so deeply. I was absolutely sure everything was going to fall at my feet, I was going to disappoint people, people were going to yell at me, everything was just going to crumble in a domino effect and the business my husband and I have worked so hard to build up would be gone overnight.

Now, realistically, that wouldn't happen, but in the throws of that panic attack, it was a sure thing. I couldn't even get my shield up. All I could do was lay on the bathroom floor, my face pressed against the cold tiles, calling for my angels and spirit guides and higher self and God to please help me and protect me. I found the pain lessoning. I was able to go back to sleep and have some weird, but fun dreams. I woke up feeling only slightly calmer, safely outside of the panic attack. I am so grateful for them coming to my aid last night, hearing my call.

I am also thankful that the day has become magical right before my eyes. Everything I feared... it's just gone away, replaced with a positive version. People who would have yelled at me are suddenly on vacation or calm about it. I can hardly believe it, although I should have known I would be protected.

In talking to a friend, he asked me if it served me and I realized it really didn't. I thought I had let the fear go to God after thanking it for making me aware... but really I'd just held on to it, probably fearing what would happen if I did let it go. My perspective is off here and I need to reorganize. Perhaps some meditation would help me gain a newer, positive perspective of what would happen if I let go of these fears. I'm sure it would actually. So tonight, when I get some blessed time alone, I will meditate on better ways to let go of that fear for real and know that the fear doesn't mean I have control of it. The fear doesn't serve me at all... it just makes for a shitty night's sleep and a ridiculous panic attack.

Being Love

"Remember, we are all affecting the world
every moment, whether we mean to or not.
Our actions and states of mind matter, because
we're so deeply inner connected with one another.
Working on our own consciousness is the most
... important thing that we are doing at any moment,
and being love is the supreme creative act."

Ram Dass

I saw this today and it really made me think about how true this small, but profound statement really is. Every emotion that runs through us (or crawls through for several days) has an effect, not only on us, but others around us and the world as well. If we all understood how important our state of mind was, would we continue to be selfish and sarcastic? Would we drop the smart assed, self serving comments that come at the expense of others? If we truly, deeply, fully understood how much of an effect our actions have, that great rippling effect, would we still do them? Would we still cut that person off in traffic? Would we still ignore the outstretched hands of those who truly need help? Would we continue spreading negativity on our Facebook pages and bitching about how hard our lives are to others? Or would we work even harder on our consciousness? Would we truly be the change we want to see in the world? I am. Are you?

Be in LIGHT Sisters and Brothers for we are with you. We are the Angels and some of you are one of us now, assisting Earth in its Ascension. Your mission, dear Earth Angels, is to radiate all the love that you hold inside for this will help mother Earth and its citizens.

It's a huge step for the human race, and you are an anchor for your surroundings because you vibrate so much light to your surroundings and cleanse out so much of the old energies that have been on this planet for centuries. That's a lot of work and no wonder you feel exhausted. So take time to rest and know that this will soon be over. We assist you in this mission and call. We are with you always and know that you are protected, and remember that you always can ask of our assistance anytime. Your co-workers are the starpeople that come from other galaxies where the level of consciousness is high, join the lightforces together, and together you are strong.

Have faith dear Brothers and Sisters of the light, because everything has an end and this end this time is going to be a HAPPY END !

Using Crystals and Gemstones

I was asked the other day about how I most effectively use crystals and gemstones. I know I've touched upon this is earlier posts. Those of you who've been following me and read the whole blog might find this slightly repetitive and for that, I do apologize. BUT! It's always good to be reminded and I will try my best to discuss new ways as well.

The basic idea behind using crystals and gemstones refers back to an earlier post about vibrations. Every gemstone and crystal has it's own vibration. When we match that vibration, we cause those things to manifest into the here and now. Gemstones and crystals help raise your vibrations to match what you want; be it better business, clearer intuition, protection, luck, etc. They also serve as a reminder of the vibration you want to be on; what you want to attract in life.

I am someone who keeps their gemstones and crystals close. I knitted a small, drawstring pouch I keep them in. If I know it's going to be a particularly hard (social) day or something is coming up, I will keep certain ones in my pocket, or even in my bra right against my skin for maximum effect. Ladies... please make sure you take them out before you get changed or it'll sound like a rock slide (much to the chagrin of my husband the first time I forgot this lol). Generally, I keep them near me though. I definitely feel the effects, particularly when they're against my skin, but even when they're in the pouch in my purse.

I also use my gemstones and crystals in meditation. This is where I feel the strongest connection with them and the strongest effects of them. By far, this is the most effective way to use them because we attune ourselves to the universe and raise our vibrations making  manifestation a natural thing. Please remember that meditation is a regular part of your life. Some like to meditate twice a day, some once a week. Really, your intuition will tell you. I know I'm not meditating enough right now, because it keeps popping into my head even though I meditated a few days ago. You have to listen to your intuition because it's whispers from your soul/spirit, higher inner knowing being of light, angels, and spirit guides.

Unwind

Tonight, let's just take a moment to breathe in deeply and exhale slowly. Just unwind. Let your mind free. Let it all go. Just enjoy this moment you're in totally. No worries. No stress. No wondering what tomorrow will bring. We don't have anything to do right now except be, experience, and accept without judgment.

I'm listening to the gusts of the wind and the rain pounding outside. The drips and streams falling off of my house. The rise and fall of the gusts as they swirl and play and dance between the drops. Every living creature safely tucked away in the house, under leaves, and in their homes. The dark sky hides the stars, but the drops catch the light off my porch making them shine and shimmer. The trees bending and swaying, meeting their dance partner, the wind. The ground drinking up the water, feeding the plants and insects. Life teeming under my bare feet. The wind tickling my toes, sending a shiver up my spine. The sprays of rain lightly dusting everything the drops can't reach. Lightning cracks across the sky from cloud to cloud, illuminating their shapes. Thunder rolls through the air, deep and strong. A reminder of the awesome power of the lightning. I can feel the earth's energy reach up and wrap around me, increasing my joy.

I am truly in love with this moment. I am truly at peace in this moment. I am grounded and centered. In this moment, I am me.

Learn to Laugh

This is what my aqua coffee cup says and tonight, it rang true. Someone put forth a challenge, in this amazing community of empaths I am proud to say I belong to, to say something that made us not only grin, but bust out in a huge smile. As I shared my stories and read theirs, I felt it what I had been longing for. The community. The common bond. I felt the strings of attachment chime that I'd been looking so hard for. As I toggled between helping and laughing, I can honestly say I'd never felt so at home with a group of strangers.

So tonight, I want to remind you all to laugh. Don't just giggle. Open your hearts, your minds, and your mouths and let that belly laugh go. Embrace it and enjoy it. Let go of the pain and the drama and worry about your shield or grounding. Matter of fact, forget everything and simply drink up the beauty, kinship, and joy of the moment. Laugh until you cry. Laugh until it hurts. Laugh like there really is no tomorrow. Laugh even if you're just laughing at yourself. Laugh for no reason at all.

Sometimes Things Aren't As They Seem

Isn't that the truth? Things sometimes really aren't as they seem. We know a friend is sad and depressed and holding on to so much anger. Our inner truth is telling us it's happening and calling to us to help them. So I help and I get those intuitive feelings that guide my language. And then they say something that really blows me out of the proverbial water. Sometime deep and different than the reason I thought they were feeling so low in the first place. That's the hardest thing for me to deal with. I tend to blow in like a storm, spouting truths and calling out emotions, often demanding an answer for why they're doing this to themselves. I flip everything upside down, but always make sure to put it all back cleaner. Is this really a bad thing? I have to admit to myself that yes, sometimes it is a really bad thing. I don't like hurting people's feelings and bringing up painful truths. Is it always necessary for me to do that? Wouldn't it just be better to keep my mouth closed sometimes? Society would tell me yes. Prudence would tell me yes. Fear and doubt would tell me yes. But my inner truth yells NO!

Sometimes we just have to roll with it. Okay, so I'm wrong about why they were feeling so low. That's not the end of the world and I gave them an opportunity to come clean with themselves. Yes, the reasons I thought come in to play, but now the entire truth has come to light. That person is able to be honest with themselves and do what they need to do to move forward.

I once heard that God doesn't want us happy. God wants us strong. I don't believe that. Yes, God wants us strong. Strong in spirit. Strong in light and love. But happiness, true happiness, is the way to get there. True self acceptance. Living in the light and letting all our faults show, but being proud of them anyways. Always learning and moving forward. Always trying for better, loving more, having more patience. Those are the things that matter the most, even when life throws you a curve ball and things aren't as they seem.
