Reading More Inspirational Books

I have just finished one of Wayne Dyers books again! It seems I can not get enough. Another book that I finished not so long ago by John Maxwell Taylor titled: The Power of I AM. The funny thing is that every time I read a book I always underline, circle and mark certain parts.  Its only when I go back a second time that it really resonates with me.  I circled this:

NOBODY WANTS TO SIT AND LOOK AT SOMEBODY WHO SUBCONSCIOUSLY REFLECTS OUR OWN SENSE OF OVERLOAD.  WE WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THAT PERSON, MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. THE MORE YOU RELAX INTO YOURSELF THE MORE NORMALIZED THE ROOM IS.

Wow! Ok, deep but I do get it.

Then there are the 100's of dog ears all though out the book! lol lol.... but you know what? I feel deeply proud that I have read so many personal development books rather than a mountain of New Ideas and Woman's Days that find them self's in the toilet then in the bin.

My reading material sits proudly on my shelf!

I'd like to share with you some of my favourite
quotes from Wayne Dyer:

“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.” 

“Friends are God's way of apologizing for your family.” 

“With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.” 

“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.” 

“You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.” 

“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with
another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change
you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you
are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or
frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about
something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it
is about you that is making you unhappy. ” 

“The more you see yourself as what you'd like to become, and act as if
what you want is already there, the more you'll activate those dormant
forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.” 

“Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change.

“If you knew who walked beside you at all times, on the path that you have chosen, you could never experience fear or doubt again.” 

“Heaven on Earth is a choice you
must make, not a place you must find.” 

“Begin to see yourself as a soul with a body rather than a body with a soul.” 

“Each experience in your lifewas absolutely necessary in order to have gotten you to the next place, and the next place, up to this very moment.” 

“You cannot always control what goes on outside. But you can always control what goes on inside.” 

“you don't need to be better than any one else you just need to be better than you used to be” 

“I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not. ”

“Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.” 

“We are not human beings in search of a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings emersed in a human experience.” 

“There's no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.” 

“You cannot solve a problem with the mind that created it. First you must change the mind.”

“You are in a partnership with all other human beings, not a contest to be judged better than some and worse than others.” 

“It is easy to love people when they smell good, but sometimes they slip into the manure of life and smell awful. You must love them just as much when they smell foul.” 

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.” 

“All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, it will not change you.” 

“You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it.” 

“Present-moment living, getting in touch with your now, is at the heart of effective living. When you think about it, there really is no other moment you can live. Now is all there is, and the future is just another present moment to live when it arrives.” 

“The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of your mind.”

“When you abandon making choices, you enter the vast world of excuses.” 

“if we focus on what's ugly, we attract more ugliness into our thoughts, and then into our emotions, and ultimately into our lives” 

“Embrace silence since meditation is the only way to truly come to know your Source. ”

Introduction to Totem Animals

Introduction to Totem Animals

Many of you will have seen totem poles, but do you know what they represent? The totem pole represents the totem animals. What is a totem animal? We all have our own individual totem animals.
Every animal has a powerful spirit. This spirit may be its own or that of a being who uses the animal image to communicate messages of the world to humans. Every animal has its own talents. A study of its talents will reveal the kind of medicine, magic, and power it can help you to develop within your own life. {every animal has its speciality}

Life long power animals are usually wild not domesticated, animals.
The animal chooses the person, not the other way around. Many believe that they can just choose an animal and start communicating with it. Usually ego gets in the way at these times. The individual chooses the animal he or she believes to be most glamorous and powerful, rather than what is harmonious to the individual. The results are ineffective and often frustrating. No animal is worse than any other. Every animal's medicine is unique. You will find the greatest success in the animal that comes to you.

We can find out what animal totem we have in many ways:

1)Meditation (ask to be shown your totem)
2)Your spiritual native teacher.
3) Look around you...what animal/bird/insect are you attracted to or what is attracted to you?
4) You may find you have many pictures, ornaments etc of a particular animal/bird/insect.5) Using medicine cards.

Developing A Relationship With Your Totem Animal

You must develop a relationship with your totem. To communicate with them demands respect. You must learn their point of view. Animals won't just warm up to you immediately. They must learn to trust you and your limitations, and you must learn to trust them and their limiations. This takes time, patience and practice.

You must honor your totem for its medicine to be effective in your life. The more you honor them-the more significance you give them within your life-the more powerful and effective they become. {your imagination is the real link to your totem}

Once you learn to work with the medicine of your power animal, it then becomes a doorway to connecting with others of the animal relm. You are not limited to just one totem. Each can teach or add something to your life that that others can't. Working with your power animal will help teach you how to align with others. Through your power animal, you learn to align with and shapeshift to the energies of other animals and beings.

Although there are one or even several totems that are the strongest in you rlife and remian with you through most of it, others do play a role. You may have a totem for a day. You may have a totem that assists you through a particularly rough period in your life.You are likely yo have different totems for different areas of your life. There's no limit to the totems you can work with. The key though is to connect strongly and fully with at least one. This expands the consciousness and opens the bridge to others more easily.

Discovering Your Animal Totems / Guides

Discovering Your Animal Totems / Guides
Answer these questions to help you discover the Animal Totems in your life. For Journey and Message Animal Totems you will have to often ask yourself the same questions. Remember that you may not currently have a Journey or Message totem. And finding out your Life animal totem is not always easy. When answering these questions you may have more than one answer per question, just don't start listing out all animals - only the ones that are really important to you. Follow your instincts when answering the question - when in doubt, don't.

Life Long Animal Totems
When you were a child, what animal did you collect or obsess over that you are still attracted to today?

Of all animals if you could have any animal as a pet or companion what would it be?
When going to the zoo, which animal do you spend the most time with or are drawn to?
If you could be any animal what animal would it be?
What animal is in your dreams that you have had since childhood?
What animal are you afraid of that you have no idea why you are afraid of it?
Of all animals what animals are you most attracted to?
When you are out in nature, do you often seem to run into the same animal?
What animal have you bumped into over and over throughout your life?
What animal have you watched for hours?
Does art work or jewelry with a certain animal always attract you?
You Life Long Animal Totem will be the animal that you answered at least three times out of the eleven questions. The more time the same animal is listed in your answered the more important and stronger it is in your life.

Journey Animal Totems
What animal have you started to see occasionally that you never saw before?
What new animal are you attracted to?
Are you dreaming of an animal lately?
Are you thinking about an animal lately?
In the past two weeks what animals have you seen or dreamt of several times?
If you have a Journey Animal Totem you will have answered at least two of the questions with the same animal. Blessings on your new path.

Message Animal Totems
What animal surprised or startled you today?
What animal that you don't usually see, have you seen a couple of times today?
What animal entranced you today?
If you only answered one question then this is a message you should consider. If you answered the same animal to two question then this animal is your Message Totem with a very important message. Heed it's word quickly for the message is for now and today.

Shadow Animal Totems
What animal attacks have you been in?
What scary or traumatic animal situations have you been in?
Does seeing a certain animal bring up feelings of fear?
What animal do you run from?
What animals do you have reoccurring nightmares about?
Does just watching TV with that animal appearing scare you?
Answering two questions with the same animal means you have a Shadow Totem you must address. Remember that the Shadow Totem will continually test you and work against you for you are it's prey. You must embrace the lesson of the animal totem and conquer your fear, accept the power of the Shadow totem, and bring it into the light as your spiritual totem.
There are as many animal totems, or spirit guides, as there are animals. Meditate with the intention of meeting your animal spirit guide, and it will come to you. It is eagerly waiting to meet you, teach you, and help you with your life. Don't worry if you don't have any success right away, it will come if you continue to search. Once you have a familiar, you can summon them for a spell or ritual whenever you need their energy or help.

A Meditation for a Familiar

The first thing to concentrate on during the meditation is the relaxing of the body. Begin with the toes and feet. Mentally tell the muscles to relax. Slowly move up through the body relaxing the muscles as you go.

Don't strain at this. Take as long as necessary. Spend more time working on the muscles of the shoulders, neck, and jaw as these are the ones we tense almost constantly.

When you are relaxed, surround yourself with a white light. Breathe it in; wrap it around you. Now visualize a well before you; you can also imagine a pond or a river, if you like. Mentally take allthe problems, including people, that are bothering you and drop them into the well. If the problems or people won't stay in the well, visualize a lid with a stout lock to keep them inside. Doing this symbolizes to your subconcious mind that these need to be taken care of. You don't want to go into a meditation carrying negative feelings with you.
Visualize scenery around you. This can be forests, jungles, deserts, whatever, but picture a place without buildings or other humans. You may be surprised to find yourself a place you didn't have in mind at all.

Accept whatever scenery is shown and begin a leisurely walk around. Be observant for any creatures that appear.

If a creature approaches you, try to communicate with it. Watch what it does and how it responds to you. Since this is the astral plane, it is possible to communicate with and creature you see. Communication is commonly by telepathic conversations in the mind. You may be told that this creature will be one of your astral familiars or that it has come to make you aware you have need of some of its traits.You may find yourself communicating with several astral beings before you are ready to return to this plane of existence.

When you have wandered through this landscape, and perhaps through others, and observed several astral creatures who show an interest in you, thank them and begin to pull yourself back into your physical body.

Once you have chosen a familiar (and that familiar has chosen you), you can place pictures or statues of that animal on your alter. This will help your subconcious keep a contact point open between you and your familiar.

Animal Symbology

Animals have meant different things to different people and cultures all through time. When we talk about the meanings of an animal or its symbolism it is this body of knowledge that we are talking about. However no definition will ever be truly comprehensive. For instance if you asked ten people to picture a "ball" in thier mind you would get at least ten different images, from a beach ball to a baseball, from a medicine ball to a cotton ball. This is just an example of how diverse something as simple as a "ball" can be as seen by different people. It is our personal experiences that mold how we see animals just as it does how we see everything else. A person who was bitten by a dog as a child may see them as viscious beasts while someone else might see them as man's best friend.

When it comes right down to it it is what you believe an animal symbolizes that matters most. Sit down and meditate about the animal. Think about when, where and why it is appearing in your life. Look for a common thread. Learn about the animal from books, online or just go out there and experience it in its own environment if possible.

With that in mind this list was created to help you on your search for animal symbolisms. It was drawn from many sources including my own experience. To name a few, Animal magick by D.J. Conway, Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson, Animal Spirits Knowledge Cards, and many wonderful individuals that have donated thier personal experiences to this project, as well as countless other books, hikes, animal companions and animal spirits. Many of the entries have contradictions in them. This is because different cultures and time periods have ascribed vastly different meanings to the same creatures. It is for this reason that what the animal symbolizes to you is what should be most important to you over anything that you read.

Each section contains the animals, insects and birds that are most commonly associated with that area, although some are cross-listed if they clearly fit more than one area.

How to Use a Smudge Stick

Once in a blue moon I use a Smudge Stick to get rid of the bad negative energy lingering around our house!  This is what I do...

Preparation
Any action, undertaken with intention and belief can become a wonderful, potent ritual. Before you begin, breathe deeply and slowly while you consider your intention. This can take just a few moments, or be as elaborate as you like.

Lighting the Smudge Stick
It's recommended to light your smudge stick with a candle, as the stick sometimes takes a moment to fully light. Be sure to have something below it to catch any embers or ash. Many people prefer a large abalone shell set aside for just this purpose, but any fireproof glass or ceramic will suffice.

Light the smudge stick, and once it's burning, gently blow it out. The stick will begin to smoke.

Smudge Yourself
To be most effective, you should always smudge yourself before moving on to smudge the home.

Allow the smudge stick to smolder a moment. Gently fan the swirls of smoke around your body from head to toe, envisioning the smoke bringing waves of positive energy flowing over you. See it carrying away any stress, anger, or other negativity, replacing it with a deep contentment and calm. (Smudging yourself is also very effective after illness, arguments, etc. to refresh and cleanse your energy.)

Now you are ready to bless/smudge your home, space, or others. We will focus here on smudging your home for house blessing and energy clearing.

Smudge Your Home
Do one room at a time, generally starting at your front door. Gently fan the smoke over each door, blessing all who enter and stating that only positive, beautiful energy is allowed to enter. Do the same for the windows, stating that all energy entering is beautiful, full of light, healing, blessing, etc. Move through your home room by room, smudging especially areas that may have contained feelings of negativity. Pay attention to corners and behind doors where energy can get "stuck". Continue throughout your home, blessing each room, and allowing the smoke to carry away any unhelpful energies.

It is helpful to speak your blessings aloud, adding the energy and power of the spoke word to declare and direct the energy. Use any words you like, as simple or elaborate as you like.

Completion - Extinguishing the Smudge Stick
Once your home is smudged, express gratitude for the effectiveness of your blessing, and gently extinguish the smudge stick. One way is to dip the stick into moistened sand, or simply dip the burning end of the stick into water to be sure it's out. (Some people prefer to use a ritual bowl of blessed water for this purpose.) Let your smudge stick dry thoroughly, and store it in a special place for future use.

Smudge sticks are simple yet very effective tools. I believe their unique strength is derived from the fact that they embody all four of the directions/energies combined:

  • North - Earth: (the sage/herbs sprang from the earth)
  • South - Fire (while burning)
  • East - Air (while smoking)
  • West - Water (while extinguishing)

Welcome to a New and Unimaginable World

This website is one that I find myself going back to. It is "out there" as far as some would say, channeling information from E.T.'s and Angels, who say they are coming soon to help us with the changes of Earth and the whole 2012 thing. But the thing is, some of this stuff is happening. Mass arrests of bankers and CEO's, physical symptoms they refer to as the waves of energy changing our bodies, and waves of love that are being sent to bring about ascension and "The Golden Age " that is 2012. It is not doom and gloom and that is a refreshing change of pace. The focus seems to be to stay calm, and project love to others and the planet

Welcome to a New and Unimaginable World


2012 March 27


Posted by Steve Beckow


Welcome to a new and unimaginable world, taking shape before our very eyes. What world am I talking about? I’m talking about the New Age expected to begin after a planetary transformation on or before Dec. 21, 2012.


Predictions of what the 2012 community calls “Ascension” are reaching us from the Earth’s own spiritual hierarchy, the star nations here to help us, Earth’s scientists, and planetary intuitives.


At an early but unknown date, we can expect a world leader (possibly President Obama) to disclose the fact that human beings from other star systems are here, in spacecraft around our planet – some cloaked, some in other dimensions – and that evolved life exists in many places in the universe.


We’re soon to be joined by family.


Following disclosure, a coalition of Light forces composed of humans from hundreds of star nations and Earth’s ascended masters, which David Wilcock playfully calls “management,” (1) will join us to address the deficiencies in the world situation caused by Earth’s former dark controllers.


The dark ones, who brought us 9/11, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic activity, chemtrails, pandemics, and all manner of other destructive events, will find themselves held accountable.


We’ll have a new “wisdom economy” or “abundance program” which some refer to as NESARA (National Economic Security and Reformation Act). The coalition of Light will give us technology that will address our economic difficulties and bring us a new lifestyle marked by ease and empowerment.


The Earth will be terraformed; pollution will be eradicated; and a temperate climate will prevail around the world.


The coalition of Light will equip us to “pass through the eye of the needle” in 2012, leaving our dualistic consciousness behind and sporting a new, unitive consciousness. If you’ve ever seen or heard an enlightened teacher (Eckhart Tolle or Adyashanti would be good examples), that’s how we’ll look and sound after 2012.


I personally follow most closely the messages coming from channelers, but also the terrestrial commentary coming from the 2012 community of scientists, whistleblowers, and intuitives. The channeled sources already live in Fifth-Dimensional consciousness (and higher) and so I prefer their version of events.


You’ll notice two themes are followed on this site: the first is the overthrow of the Earth’s secret governments, known to themselves as the Illuminati, though none are illuminated, and known to others as the New World Order, the shadow state, the military-industrial complex, the dark cabal, etc.


That overthrow will appear to be a “time of troubles,” during which the dark will use all its technology to cause earthquakes (Haiti, Chile and Japan are examples), modify weather, sow chemtrails, spread pandemics, start wars, misrepresent the galactics, create fear, and in other ways try to disrupt and defeat the (I’m told) “unstoppable” plan for 2012 Ascension.


The dark forces are up to so much mischief that I’ve written two articles on this site simply listing their misdeeds: “I Accuse” and “The Black Hats Must Go.” They provide an overview of the extent of their murderous and treasonous actions.


The economy they created will utterly collapse, to be simultaneously replaced by the wisdom economy.


The second theme is the increase in the light energy that is occurring because the coalition of Light are preparing us to open to transformation by 2012 or sooner.


It may be confusing to some to see these two themes running simultaneously. Some articles will trace the fall of the cabal and others the rise of the new society and economy. I hope readers will be able to keep the two movements straight.


A compendium of quotes on all aspects of the changes expected in the run-up to 2012 can be found at First Contact, located at http://www.angelfire.com/space2/light11/fc/fc-index1.html. Many articles as well can be found in the righthand column of this site.


During the time of troubles, I’m determined to help the coalition of Light push this dark elite out of the corridors of power. Please don’t be alarmed. I’m not advocating violence or retribution. But I won’t rest until the Black Hats have left the scene or turned their hats around.


Please note that I do not consider President Barack Obama to be a Black Hat, but one of the strongest Lightworkers on the planet today. He has my unequivocal support and unabashed loyalty.


I draw on a background of historical, cross-cultural, and enlightenment studies, years spent as a refugee adjudicator, time spent researching life on the spirit planes, study of the space coalition’s messages, and a commitment to truth. Nonetheless I am not an enlightened author and am not qualified to be, nor do I wish to be considered, a spiritual teacher.


Writing is my passion. Without your readership and the Internet, I could not be doing this.


So thank you for stopping by and for opening up to the 2012 scenario. Every additional awakened Lightworker increases the ease with which the transition to Fifth-Dimensional consciousness can be accomplished.


Namaste,


Steve Beckow
Vancouver, Canada

Lucid Dreaming - Ive been doing this for years

Im so happy there is so much out there now about Lucid Dreaming - I can totallly connect with it!

The only way I use to connect with other people about my dreaming was to explain to them it was like watching "Nightmare on Elm Street" where they go to sleep then the dream comes real! Not the best example but the only one out there all those years ago!

This is how I can DREAM!

Early Beginnings - I am an Empath


I have 'felt different' and have had an interest in spirituality ever since I remember! Throughout my life, I have always been very perceptive, and naturally intuitive - picking up on other people’s energy and moods. Now I know that this is because I am a 'sensitive' or ‘empath’, who absorbs other's energies and also that of world events.

I always used to feel that when I looked into people's eyes, it was like I could see their soul and understand them at a very deep and private level, like brushing past all the walls, fears and facades and looking into their inner innocence and truth – their pure essence, or core within, and also what they might be hiding to the world.

Now I feel much more at home with it all, as millions of lightworkers are waking up all around the world to share their gifts, love and light to humanity and globe at this period of great transition and profound spiritual enlightenment on earth. Have you felt this shift, like something is in the air, and profoundly changing within you, your relationships, and the world?




HOW DO I PROTECT MYSELF?

Around your physical body, there is a layer of your aura that is devoted to your interface with your environment. Its shape and condition indicate your relationship to your world. People who are empaths often have a "thin skin" in relation to their shield body. When it has holes in it, we are more easily influenced by our environment. Visualize a shield of energy around your physical body. See is as radiant and complete. You may see it as a particular color. Some people like to see it as white or gold. Decide what color would work well for you, and see it that way. Imagine the shield body as flowing and moving..not static we are developing a shield here..not armor. It is good for it to be flexible, so you can let in what serves you, and keep out what doesn't. Snap your fingers to hold it in place. Do this exercise regularly.

Another thing that I have found exceptionally helpful, it to carry around a boji stone. This remarkable stone has been proven by Kirlian photography to seal the auric field if kept on the person for 3 days or more.

Center of Being

Once you have the shield body in place, imagine that there is a spark in the center of your being that is your pure essence. Focus your attention on the spark, being all your senses to bear. Also be aware of your sensations, emotions and thoughts. First try this when you are alone, and then, after a time, practice it around others. See if you can switch your awareness from your environment to your self, and back again. Notice the difference between the two.





What Is An Empath? I AM ONE

An Empath is a person who can psychically tune in to the emotional experience of a person, place or animal. In the paranormal and in some works of science fiction and fantasy, highly developed empathy is a psychic ability to sense the emotions of others and often highly aware of the health and state of mind of their loved ones, no matter how physically near or far away the individuals may be. It can be challenging for empaths to function healthily in society if they are unaware that they have this sensitivity and often opt to be alone.

Most empaths are often in the dark about their innate gifts but the more developed ones are sometimes called in by the police to help track a murderous pedophile or other heinous criminal because they are able to take on the tortured emotions of the assailant. Utilizing Clairempathy, a type of telepathy to sense or feel within one's self, the attitude, emotion or ailment of another person or entity.

They are sensitive to the visible as well as the invisible and pick up on body language, tone of voice, body movements, the words people choose when they speak, the words they avoid, the logic they use; and the hidden things that only an empath can sense inside another person. It is not uncommon for an empath to "freak out" for no apparent reason, only to discover later that a friend or family member went through some sort of trauma at that exact moment. So essentially an empath is someone whose feeling sensory is extraordinarily heightened, meaning they receive the majority of their psychic input from what they feel.

Since they're being assaulted constantly by emotions which do not originate internally, they can't figure out why they feel the way that they do, and therefore can't address the core issues. Since empathy isn't something you can really ditch it's sometimes difficult to sort out what the Empath truly feels in a given situation or what they are taking on from someone else. This can prove to be very confusing!

Emotions that create powers that have been known to be God like in nature. Emotions that build on inside only to be shared with those around you. Emotional empaths are so sensitive that they can absorb the negative emotions of others in their body, and actually take it on. So when an empath is around somebody who is anxious, they can actually absorb that energy into their body, when it isn't even their own anxiety.

Empaths are born, and they’re born unskilled and are generally very understanding of others and their positions, and often times will ask questions rather than make snap judgments, or intuitively seem to 'know' there is more to a story than what meets the eye. They are sensitive to TV, videos, movies, news and broadcasts. Violence or emotional dramas depicting shocking scenes of physical or emotional pain inflicted on adults, children or animals can bring an empath easily to tears.

Empaths are people who don’t “read” the future, or predict it they “read” people, and their energy although sometimes it depends on the person being read, too. They're often problem solvers, thinkers, and studier's of many things. As far as empaths are concerned, where a problem is, so too is the answer.

They are the psychic sponges of the world, soaking up all the psychic and emotional static that other people give off. Being an Empath is one of the most common and most challenging of all the psychic gifts.

So as you can see being am empath can be both a blessing...and a curse!





7 SIGNS YOU'RE AN EMPATH

1. When in public, do you constantly feel overwhelmed with inexplicable emotions for which you can’t determine the reason?

Example. You drop by the mall one Saturday morning. You feel great. You get into the mall, walk past a crowd of people -- and start feeling a bit strangely. It can be anything; you can feel very down, very angry, very sad, very excitable. (The key word here is very.) And you won’t have any explanation for it, you'll just feel it. In other words, you’ve suddenly gone Bi-Polar without actually having the biological deficiency that causes it. And what’s worse, you can’t turn it off. You can carry on, trying to ignore it, but eventually it will be so overwhelming to the point you just want to go home and be alone. This is the reality of an Empath – one who hasn’t yet learned how to block other people’s emotions out. Being around other people is such a harrowing experience that most of them prefer to keep their own company, living the life of a hermit. And they usually find it very much worth it.

2. Do you experience other people's physical ailments?

This is most common with those you have an emotional connection with, but can occur with anyone. A very good example of this would be suddenly feeling very lethargic and fatigued for no reason, and having to remain in bed for a day or two. You’re not sick – not really. You’re not ill. Yet, you feel that you are. Profoundly. You later find out that your “illness” coincided with a lover or family member’s sudden fatigue (resulting from legitimate illness) even though they were in another country at the time and you had no idea until after the fact. Symptoms can also manifest in the form of chest pains, cramps, migraines, etc. You basically experience it all, without contracting the actual illness.

3. Do you feel overwhelmed when watching something horrible in real life or even on television?

This one sounds silly, but viewing the news or depressing commercials designed to induce sympathy and open wallets can debilitate an Empath for several hours. While most people get upset over homeless dogs and cats, an Empath will often feel like their hearts have been lanced. That’s a literal definition, by the way. It’s not something as shallow as sympathy or even ordinary empathy. It’s a feeling of guilt and moral empathy that cannot be easily assuaged. Crying is very common, and not just during that time of month when all the emotions are out of whack!

4. Do you ALWAYS know what someone really means?

In other words, can you always, always, always tell what it is someone meant to say to you? More importantly, can you tell why they didn’t? If an Empath is face to face with someone and has just been lied to -- they will know. And they will know why. They will know if the other person is trying to spare feelings; they will know if malice was involved. In other words, they will know the intent. You cannot lie in the face of an Empath and not be caught out. While they will not often be able to suss the specifics of what you’re hiding, they will know if you mean them well or not. No exceptions. This is more than good intuition and this isn’t a hunch; this is knowing.



5. Do you feel compelled to care for anyone in pain, no matter who they are and what they’ve done to you?

A true Empath cannot walk past someone suffering and not feel a need to stop and help that person. Homeless people can be particularly difficult, as they are everywhere and little can be done to help them unless the Empath has an occupation related to this. A true Empath feels compelled to go to anyone they feel pain from, be it angst or something physical. And a true Empath's compassion will usually be accepted on the spot: People in pain, regardless of how they might normally react to strangers, will receive an Empath with open arms. They know instinctively that their pain matters to them.

6. Do people open up to you – even if you don’t want them to?

Some Empaths are the new-agey peace-loving types who want to hold hands with everyone, but many just want to be alone because they have difficulty processing everything they absorb from other people. (This is usually because they have yet to realize their abilities and haven’t learned to deal with it yet.) For an Empath, however, putting on a grumpy face doesn't keep people they barely know from drawing near and seeking compassion and empathy from them. The ill, the suffering, the weak; they are all drawn to the unconditional understanding and compassion an Empath emits. And Empaths emit it whether they want to or not.That’s not to say Empaths can’t be mean and nasty people -- they surely can be. But those particular Empaths tend to be those with profound sensitivity who've broken down inside and have no other way of keeping other’s emotions at bay. Again, these are Empaths who don’t know of their abilities.

7. Can you heal?

Most Empaths have the ability to heal. Yes, that means physically. This isn’t about Reiki or any other alternative modality, though they may seem similar in concept. An Empath heals instinctively, usually by drawing the pain or ailment out and accepting it into their own bodies. For obvious reasons, this is not recommended for anyone who doesn’t know how to keep from becoming ill in the process. In today’s day and age, everyone seems to want to be psychic to some degree. That’s probably due our evolution of consciousness as human beings. Therefore, many people reading this will likely think themselves Empathic. I cannot stress the following enough: There is nothing fun about being an Empath. It’s often a very draining and miserable existence in which you feel like you have to be entirely alone in order to survive. It is not glamorous, it is not exciting and it is painful more often than not.

You're not crazy!

Being an Empath doesn't have to be so overwhelming, but this is not something most would aspire to so don't get upset if none of this rings true for you. Everyone's got "otherworldly talents" and you needn't be an Empath to excel in the realm of conscious endeavors. If you *are* an Empath, you will know this is you, you will not be saying “Hmm.. maybe… hmm…” If you feel (without hesitation!) these apply to you as I’ve just described, then also know there are ways of coping, and I’ll get into them in future articles. With a little self-awareness you can turn your curse into gift, especially when it comes to being able to ease the emotional and physical pain of others. For now, take consolation in the knowledge that you are not crazy!

Todays Card is.....?


This morning I pulled the " EMOTIONAL SENSITIVITY" card from DOREEN VIRTUES fantastic deck "ANGEL THERAPY ORACLE CARDS"

Honour and respect your deep sensitivity, as it is a gift to us all!

Have you been teased, or felt bad, about the fact that you’re extremely sensitive? If so, this card is the Angels’ reassurance of the positive qualities within your gift of sensitivity. For example, you accurately know whether or not a new acquaintance is trustworthy. The Angels are working with you to trust this feeling more often and not berate yourself if you’ve disallowed your intuition in the past.

You are peaceful by nature, so you naturally avoid conflict and other harsh energies. Ask your Angels to steer you toward other peace-loving people and keep all others away from you.



Honour your sensitivity by surrounding yourself with gentleness in your relationships, media choices, home life and work situation.



This deck of Angel Cards are wonderful and a joy to use too!




Have a Magical Day everyone!

Then, there's the Crystal Children

Then, there’s the Crystal Children.
My curiosity got the better of me and I aske Doreen Virtue a question about my 5 year old daughter Kobi. Kobi has so much passion and love inside of her every single day that I was starting to think it wasn't normal. How many times can someone say I love you so much in a day? Over 50 times a day I can hear this from her all in different ways. The hugs the apologies she gives me are the same that should be coming from an adult, not a 5 year old. She is very philosophical, I have no problems with her, and her relationship with the earth and the elderly just blows my mind away. And CUDDLES AND HUGS!!! Always always nearly every step I take she is there cuddling me, my leg or when I sit down for a cuppa tea, there she is hugging me then running off.

Doreen proceeded to tell me she is a Crystal Child:

The first thing that most people notice about them is their eyes—large, penetrating and wise beyond their years. The Crystal Children’s eyes lock on and hypnotize you, while you realize your soul is being laid bare for these children to see. Perhaps you've noticed this special new "breed" of children rapidly populating our planet. They are happy, delightful and forgiving. This generation of new lightworkers, roughly ages 0 through 7, are like no previous generation. Ideal in many ways, Crystal Children are the pointers for where humanity is headed . . . and it's a good direction! Crystal Children are quite the opposite. They’re among the most connected, communicative, caring and cuddly of any generation.

They are also quite philosophical and spiritually gifted. And they display an unprecedented level of kindness and sensitivity to this world. Crystal Children spontaneously hug and care for people in need.

Whenever I met them, I found myself falling in love with each young Crystal Child. Their hearts were as open and loving as any angel with whom I'd interacted. I found them unguarded and unpretentious. I'd go to sleep thinking about these children, and wake up with volumes of information given to me by the spirit world (or perhaps by the Crystal Children themselves) while I slept. Each morning, I'd wake up knowing more about the Crystal Children than I'd previously known the evening before! I began lecturing about the Crystal Children and found my audiences very receptive. Many of them were parents, grandparents, or teachers of these special youngsters. They instantly recognized their child's characteristics as I described them.

Just like humans have evolved from ape-like postures, the Crystal Children are concrete evidence that we're progressing in evolution. Secondly, I found crystal clear patterns among each survey respondent. I read dozens of similar stories about the Crystals and their relationships to animals, plants, rocks and the elderly, for instance. I poured over many stories with eerily similar accounts about children telepathically communicating with their parents . . . while eschewing verbal communication.

Most parents reported a happy relationship with their Crystal Child marked with very few problems. I heard from parents and grandparents around the globe as they described their Crystal as "an angel," "the love of my life," "a true joy," and so on. I noticed that not only were the Crystal Children highly spiritually sensitive, but so were their parents. The souls of Crystal Children were obviously selecting parents who could raise them in a spiritually nurturing environment. Occasionally, I met children who came through parents who were spiritually unaware. In these cases, their grandparents were highly evolved lightworkers who helped to protect and hone the child's spiritual knowledge and gifts. Most people told me that their Crystal Child was a profound spiritual teacher, who taught parents a great deal about being an exceptionally loving and kind person.

I and wouldn't want her any other way.

2012 - Its Here and its Real

I have read books, listened to Podcast, viewed numerous You Tube Videos, researched at the library and enjoyed every minute regarding 2012.

Are your really aware we are sitting on Mother Earth? Are you really aware everyday that she is alive? And her heart is burning in the core of earth? Or do you just get up every morning, moan, groan, have your coffee, get dressed, maybe argue with your loved ones and go about your day and repeat it over and over again?

People are ignorant, shrug their shoulders and come up with their own theory formed by their ego and continue to debate with me about 2012.
Knowledge is power, not something you just make up and have an opinion about, open your mouth and blurt out with big words... Yes I will nod at you, smile and pretend to agree.. but it does not work....

2012 is a massive year for personal and global transformation.




Why are so many challenged by crumbling systems at this time on Earth? The effects of these changes are already moving through our world and will play out now in this pivotal year.

The forthcoming and current massive shifts in consciousness are:

•The appreciation of healers and birth of powerful new modalities in that arena as a symbol of self-healing becoming finally valued within the majority

•Evolutions in communication

•Individual and governmental responsibility where leadership is concerned
•Planetary changes

•The Redistribution and balancing of wealth and earning potential for the majority in the more immediate future

Dear Future Me

Dear Future Me.... A subject very close to my heart - my daughter Kobi, at the time of creating this video she is 4 1/2 years old. The date is December 2011. I will pull this video out again when Kobis around the age of 30 and show her. A great memory for everyone.

"Discovering Your Smiling Soul"

When you shift into spiritual awareness, you may appear to be living the same life as before, with the same ambitions, joys, and sorrows as before. However, inside, you have a radiant smile that may or may not be visible to the world. Your spiritual soul smiles through the good times and the bad. In fact, as your smiling soul shines more and more into the world around you, the world also begins to reflect your smil back at you. Do you ever find yourself smiling even when no one else is around? If not, try it! Smile to yourself. Smile at being alive. Smile to the Universe, which is always present where ever you are – closer than your own breath. I go out of my way everyday and smile smile smile and everyone, and I look at the frown and the creases they have and hope that I get a smile back to clear them away! OK, so some people have a reason not to smile at the precise moment as something terrible may have happened to them, but 9 times out of 10 its the smile I throw at them that may just make there day! I get hasseled at work some times because I just smile at people and my work mates don't get it! I will walk around for a minute with a smile on my face and god it makes me feel good! So today Sunday to me a favour and SMILE at everyone you see today! I call it...THROW A SMILE THERE WAY!

Good Ole Smiggles – Who Would Have Thought


I have bought the new Samsung Galaxy S2...

And do you think I could find a hard cover for it so I could just chuck it in my bag, throw it around at work, or the real reason was when I take it to the beach and sand would not get into it!

Also the bright colour tells me exactly where it is in my handbag which is practically a home, housing so many items that I can never find anything in there.

Trolling the shopping centres for a couple of days I could not find anything, then as we walked pass SMIGGLES, Kobis favourite shop as we always go to the Gold Coast Airport for a coffee now and then and she has purchased a few items at SMIGGLES there herself – she dragged me in the shop once again and there starring at me, this bright green case!

BINGO! There it was the something I was looking for to put my phone in. These are NOT marketed to phones, but I did a dam good job telling the chick at the counter to market them also for the smart phone!

So there you have it. If you’re looking for a case for your smart phone, but in my case for my Samsung Galaxy S2 SMIGGLES is the place to go!
