Pappaw saw Faeries too!

When I was  a young child, I spent my summers with my grandparents on their beautiful property in North Carolina. I was especially close with my Pappaw and spent  most of my day attached to his hip. Through him I found the love of gardening, fruit trees, and honey bees.

Often he would take me into the woods to a clearing near a bubbling creek. There we would sit on a log, sit quietly and wait. It wasn't long before the fairies would start peeking their heads out behind leaves and branches. I remember one landing on his hand and him telling me how important they were, how they helped the plants and animals. We would sit and talk about the spirits in the trees, fairies  and angels. It was our little secret.

He died when I was nine, he came to me the night he died, gave me a hug, and told me that he loved me and to remember the fairies. I felt very alone, lost, he was the only one in the whole world that I could talk to about seeing things others couldn't. I tried to tell my parents, but like many others, they feared for my sanity. They told me I needed to STOP. Stop talking about it, stop making up stories, and to stop scaring them. I knew that they thought my stories were a grief reaction. After all, why did I not tell them before.
I learned to be silent, to keep these thoughts, feelings, and visions to myself. A part of me began to fear for my sanity. Only crazy people see and hear things others can't... right? That was when I subconsciously turned off my abilities. Years passed and I began to think that I had made it all up. Tales from a silly child.

Recently, I have been on the ascension path and now can see and hear angels while in deep meditation. I would love to see and hear them without meditation, but I know that I have created a block. I have a fear of  people, especially family thinking I am insane. Blocks can be easy to create and hard to take down.

Last week, two talented mediums came to help me bless my home and land. We were having issues with some Native American spirits who didn't appreciate white people building a house and living on their land. One of the mediums looked at me and said

 "Your grandfather wants you to know that the fairies were real."

 I was shocked and amazed, it was the validation I needed my whole life. I asked her if he saw them or if he just indulged a child's imagination. She smiled and said

"Oh honey, he saw them and many other things. He took you to that special place because he knew you were gifted as well. He was never believed and he drank himself to death. He doesn't want you to doubt your gifts too."

It was an incredible healing moment. It was like a weight of doubt had been lifted. I still get giddy every time I think

Pappaw saw fairies too!

Raising a starseed

Raising a star seed is not easy. They often have ADHD symptoms, sleep issues and tempers. Thankfully these personality traits are paired with an overwhelming enthusiasm of life, endless joy and a pure open heart.

Recently my 4 year old starseed started a new frustrating habit. She would ask for something over and over again, usually when the request could not possibly be filled. We were driving in the car when she asked for a marker. I didn't have one to give her and told her no. She then held out her hand and said the word "marker" about 10 times. This is enough to drive even the most patient parent nuts. She was so frustrated, to the point of tears when she looked at me and said "Why won't it work?". That's when it dawned on me: this is a 5th dimensional child living in a 3rd dimensional world.

Starseeds, especially when they are young, spend a lot of time astral projecting while they sleep. These children vibrate so high that their little bodies cannot contain them. In the astral plane their larger than life spirits can swim with the dolphins, climb a pyramid and create on command. In the astral plane my little one can open her hand, demand a marker and it appears. Can you imagine how frustrating it must be to return to this world? I believe many temper tantrums are caused by this discrepancy in realities. How heavy and draining this 3rd dimensional world must be to their young bodies and spirits. While their life purpose is to help raise the planet and her people's vibration to a co-creation 5D realm, they must live in this one for a while. We need to help them adjust by being patient and understanding.

I looked at my little one with a whole new understanding and asked her if in her dreams she can say "Marker" and it appears, she said yes and exclaimed "The marker must not like me!". I told her how cool it was that she could do that and that hopefully one day it will work in this world as well.  She began to understand how the worlds differ and her habit of asking for something over and over has ended. She also now knows that I understand to some degree and is sharing more of her memories of astral travel with me.

Sometimes I hear her playing,  pretending that she can command the universe and bend it to her wishes. I have no doubt that one day she will...

Teaching children universal oneness starts with the family

Teaching people that we are all connected, we are all one is not an easy task. Many people are so mired in their own little worlds, their own problems, their own views that they are unable to see that what affects one effects all. How do we teach our children that we are all connected in the face of a world programming your child to think differently? It starts with you and the family. Families are the microcosm of the universe. If we teach the children that what one in the family experiences, they too experience and are affected by it.

 Discuss with your children the following scenarios:

 If one child breaks his leg, all are affected. The child might not be able to do his chores for a time and others have to pick up the slack. The child might be in pain and cranky. How does that affect others? What about when the child goes to school? How are his classmates affected? The teacher?

 What if one child gets in trouble for bad behavior? How does that affect the family? The anger and tension it creates has a way of creeping over to every family member. Even the dog feels the change in the energy. Children have to realize that their decisions have consequences not only for them but for others as well.

 What if a parent loses a job? Or their work requires the family to move? What if a family member becomes seriously ill? Ask your children examples of how something someone else has done has had an impact on their life. By getting their input it becomes more of a discussion and less of a lecture.

 I find teaching this concept to be daunting especially when trying to reach teenagers who have been taught by society that it is ok to be selfish, to care only for the moment. Isn't that what the phrase YOLO is all about? It doesn't matter what you do as long as it feels good. You only live once right? Consequences be damned. My only advice is to just keep trying. Eventually they will get it.

 Once children can grasp that what happens to one in the family, happens to all, it is not a huge step to take their perceptions to a grander level. Start with examples of things in their school, then examples in the state, country, and globally. Use examples to make them really think. How does the decimation of the rain forest affect them? Oil spills? Wars? Get them thinking about something other than their version of reality. This is how you raise a conscious child in a world designed to make them selfish and ego centered.

Help your family raise thier vibration

Many of us are working on upgrading our vibrations. The higher we vibrate, the better we feel, the more love and joy we experience, and our world view changes. You may be changing your thought patterns, meditating, and connecting to source, but what about your family members? While ascension is a personal journey that has to be taken only when the soul is ready, you can help your loved ones raise their vibration some too.

If you have teenagers like I do, you might be getting rolled eyes or evasion when you try to discuss esoteric principles with them.  Here is an activity that can help open dialog among the family and can be done by everyone regardless of age.

Pick a time to conduct this activity, anytime when you are all together (or as many as you can get at one time), it can be in the car on the way to school or at the table during dinner. Don’t get hung up on ceremony or the message will get lost. 

Have each member of the family tell the following:

·         One thing they are grateful for.

 It can be anything “I’m grateful I found a matching pair of socks fast today” BUT they cannot say the same thing twice in a row.

·         One thing they did to be nice to another person or the earth.

It can be anything “I gave someone a piece of gum” to “I recycled today”. If a family member is having a hard time thinking of something, ask the others if that person had done something nice that they just can’t remember.

The family may grump and groan, but reminding them to hold a place in their heart to be grateful will help them to raise their vibration. Having them focus on the importance of doing good things for other people and the earth will help them develop a lifelong love of helping others, especially when they realize how good it feels.

Namaste

 

Meet Your Spirit Guide.

Yesterday was a full moon with an Eclipse. The energies were high and their was a joy in the air. I saw a report that yesterday was the first day in recorded history that there was no violent crime in New York City. The shift is happening. More people are waking up and starting to realize what is important in life. It's all very exciting.

I did a meditation to contact my spirit guide. I've done these before, but have not really gotten anywhere. The energies were so high, I thought I would try it again. In the meditation, I went into a field by a huge tree and asked my spirit guide to appear. A tall, beautiful Native American man appeared. My heart leaped, I rushed to him, hugged him, and held his face between my hands. I can't accuretly describe the joy that I felt seeing him again. It was a reunion with a long lost friend. His name is Standing Bear. I think he was given that name because of his huge size. He was tall and broad.  We sat under the big tree. I was curled up in between his legs like old friends cuddling. I asked him a few questions and it was as if he answered before I could even finish a sentence.

"Will I be a great Healer?"  

"Yes, You already are, just believe."
 

"Will there be an event like 3 days of darkeness to wake people up?"

 "No, it's not going to be that easy." He says with an easy smile. "There is still much work to do."
 

All to soon it was over. I know that I will be contacting him again and hope that this is the beginning of a good relationship. Hopefully I will get to the point where I can contact him & hear him without meditation. 

Here is the link to a Youtube guided meditation that I used to help connect with my spirit guide. I hope it brings you much success too.

Releasing Grief

We are all going through an energy upgrade right now including the Earth. In this shift of energy the Earth and its people are releasing grief. Grief though necessary, can become so part of our identity that it stops us from enjoying life and growing into our future selves.  Intellectually most of us can reason that our loved ones are "in a better place" or that "we'll see them again", our hearts however are not intellectual. Our hearts hurt at the devastating loss of a loved ones, of things left undone, of words left unsaid. What grief are you holding inside? Ask God and your angels to help you release any negative emotions inside you that are holding you back.  You may receive help through your dreams, messages from others and animals.

 I lost my dad 12 years ago and while I miss him, I am blessed with regular visits from him in my dreams and in the waking world. I honestly thought I was through the gut wrenching grief process. I was so wrong. I had a night of back to back dreams that I couldn't seem to stop or wake from. The dream that hit me the hardest had my great-grandmother in it. Who knew that I still held loss inside for her as well. In the dream I went to tell my dad that his grandmother had passed. I was sad and even feeling lonely without her in my life. Just then my dad looked stricken, in pain and slumped on the couch. I screamed at him and he opened his eyes and said "You are going to be just fine" and then he passed. The sound that emitted from my throat was one of intense grief, pain, and abandonment.  The next sequences in the dream was me telling different people "My daddy's dead". Each time that I repeated that it was a releasing of grief and an acceptance took place. I had no idea that I had so much pain still stuck inside.

I awoke in the morning, remembering all the dreams and cried deep heartfelt sobs. Each gut wrenching sob was a release. I said a prayer of gratitude that I received the healing. Just then Jack, my parrot, began to whistle the "Andy Griffith theme song"  one of my dad's favorites tunes. I smiled and knew that I was going to be just fine.

Girls leading with the Sacral Chakra

On facebook Deborah King posts questions daily to help prompt journaling. A recent question was if a teacher had ever hurt or discouraged us. In an instant my mind went back to the 8th grade.

I went to a small Catholic elementary school that went from K - 8th grade. There were approx 45 kids in my graduating class. For the most part I was an outcast. Kids instinctively know when there is something not right with a kid. When a child is not getting what they need from the home, they don't relate to their peers with self confidence and honestly. When a classmate did decide to let me in or come over for a birthday party, invariably something would happen. My mom would act crazy yelling about something and in some cases even hitting me in front of friends. Or she and my father got into a fight with lots of cussing, screaming, and the threat of violence in the air. Even if a classmate did like me, they would avoid me after that. A glimpse into my world was enough. The general demographic for the school was white children being raised in a two parent household where they were doing their best to project that their households are picture perfect. I am not naive enough to think that my family was the only one with secrets. My family just didn't have the self control to hide it well. I did have one good friend. Her name was Dawn and her family life wasn't the norm either. She was being raised by a single mom when it was just not common. We bonded in our inability to fit in. Things changed when she moved away after the 6th grade year. Seventh grade was really hard for me. I didn't have my one good friend and I was lonely. I still was an outcast with the popular kids and those on the lower social tier in my class just barely tolerated me. I had started making up stories, lying to them to make myself into someone, anyone other than my real self. Kids, they are smart and they can see through that as well.

Something happened during the summer after 7th grade. My pudgy child body transformed itself into a well developed, voluptuous, curvy body. I noticed during the summer at the pool that the older boys were noticing. I realized then that there was power in sexuality. When I returned to school for my final 8th grade year, not much seemed to have changed. I was still the freak, but there was this air about me of knowing, knowing about the power of sexuality and I wasn't afraid to use it. The girls in my class HATED me even more, but now I didn't care. I had found the attention I craved from the the boys.

In my home neighborhood I had also found boys. I would walk my dog to the local park and there would be other kids there. Like moths to a flame. As I explored my power outside of school, my self-confidence increased inside of school. I was transforming. I learned how to flirt and how to use my body to gain what I wanted. At the time it was the only power I held. I couldn't control my father's drinking. I couldn't control my mother's rage and hate. I couldn't control the feeling that there must be some reason I didn't deserve to be loved and cherished. I COULD control my sexuality. I knew that I had something the boys wanted, not only 8th grade boys but high school boys as well. I had the control. One might think that I must have had sex with so many... but that was giving the power away. There was much more power in holding what was wanted just within reach. The thought of what could be granted made quite a few jump through insane hoops.

There was at an evening 8th graduation party with all of my classmates and one of my teachers was a chaperon. During the party, I walked with a guy to get something down the street at his house. Completely innocent. The teacher saw that I had disappeared and when she went with a couple of other girls to find me she told one of them that I was probably "on my back somewhere". When I did return to the party, one of those girls told me in front of the teacher what had been said. I looked at this teacher, someone I looked up to, my English teacher (my favorite subject), she looked back at me and didn't deny it, her eyes confirmed that she had indeed said it. I remember laughing it off and even giving the boy I had left with a look like "oh OK...whatever" I have NEVER forgotten it. In that instant she made me feel like trash, back to that outcast kid who would never fit in.

Was she reacting to the signs I had given? Absolutely. I was a child venturing into the world of sexuality at to young an age. There was nothing innocent about me. I knew exactly what I was doing and who I was manipulating. I understood the power. I was leading with my 2nd chakra, the Sacral chakra.

What angers me the most is that this educator had a choice. She saw what was happening, the changes in me, and she chose to call it out instead of choosing to find out what was going on in my life. Why didn't she take a moment to sit me down and find out why I only valued myself for my physical attributes and sexual power?

Today I volunteer in a middle school and I see the girls that lead with their sexuality, that are trying to find their place in the world, their self confidence by using their body and sexual power. Their female classmates call them Sluts, their male classmates drool, and the teachers just shake their heads. Why isn't anyone asking WHY? WHY do these girls feel the need to exert themselves in such a way. Where is their self confidence in their sports ability, academics, or in being a good person in general? Who or what has taken that away from them? Why are some educators and counselors so afraid to talk about sex that they just want to shake their heads and DO NOTHING? Instead many of them wager "I bet she will be pregnant by the time she is 16".

I read a book recently that helped to put the crisis many young girls face into words. "Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls" by Mary Pipher. This book should be mandatory reading for all middle/high school teachers and even parents of girls. We need to be able to see the signs of kids leading with their sexuality and teach them other ways to have confidence. We need to find out what is going on in their lives that make them feel as if they have no control. When you lead only with the Sacral Chakra, other areas might suffer, self esteem and self worth could be compromised.
