Gonna Let My Little Light Shine

I believe that we should always reach for life, and that which is life giving no matter what. In saying that, I also know there is a time to let go of life. These last few weeks have been a blessing and painful. Helen my mother-in-law passed over February 7, 2011. She lived a full 90 years and touched many lives as she journeyed through her life. For an outsider it might have looked like an ordinary life, but up close there were many extraordinary moments, some of them beautiful and others deeply soul wrenching. Through it all she choose to reach for life here on this plane, and then, when it was time to leave she reached for life on the other side into the calling of her new journey. Her passing was graceful and peaceful as she gently surrendered. 

To be in the dying process with another is an amazing experience, one that I feel honored to participate in. As I watched Helen letting go I recognized that it was also my time to let go, to release an old pattern I had been in-prisoned by for most of my life. 

So much about ones own life is revealed when we loose someone close to us. Somehow we are invited to look deeper into the mystery of our own life, and what we could not see before, is now revealed with such sharp clarity. Through the dying process with Helen I was able to see with 20/20 vision aspects of myself that were hidden. I was able to know with certainty that one piece of my life that had been out of reach for me for so long had now been reveled and healed.

For those of you who have read my book “Memoirs of a Mystic” know about the wounds and betrayal I experienced at a very young age with my father and my mother. Through this early conditioning I learned to shut down my joie-de-vivre and with it my creativity.  Year after year it was reinforced, that who I truly was had to be suppressed, it was not safe to shine. My internal message, “I am afraid to shine, was in conflict with, I don't feel complete unless I shine.” 

Over the years I did find many outlets for my joy and creativity but I always stayed under the radar. I had carried with me these wounds throughout my life  feeling that the pain, sadness, and emptiness would never leave me, so, I set out to try to heal the wounds of others instead.

The challenge was that my soul was always restless, calling me, prodding me to reach for life and that which is life giving, to reach for peace, understanding and forgiveness, not of others, for I recognized early on they played a significant role in my life lessons, it was more about forgiveness of myself.  The one thing I most wanted  in my life was to share with the world my many magical experiences, my intuitive knowing, and who I truly am.  It is fascinating to me as one light goes out, Helen’s, another turns on and shines.  February 7th was the day of Helen’s death and the day of my re-birth.

For days I have been hearing in my head this sweet little song I learned as a child. I sing this in Honor of Helen. I love you and I will miss you.

This little light of mine - I’m gonna let it shine

This little light of mine - I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

All Around My Neighborhood - I’m gonna let it shine

All Around the world - I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

I won’t let no one put it out – I’m gonna let it shine

I won’t let nothing keep it out  - I’m gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Every day, in every way,

I’m gonna let my little light shine.

“Speak Loudly Sweet Soul”

People like us, who believe in psychics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” ~ Albert Einstein, Theoretical Physicist, Philosopher and Author 

As a psychic I have learned to trust and honor what is given to me through my Soul. For each of us the Soul is that which our God Presence uses to express through us. When I listen to the language of my Soul, I am guided and I offer guidance to those who come to me. It has been a most precious gift to me on a personal level.

Einstein is right, we have been living in a persistent illusion. In these radical times of great change, ours is to listen and learn the language of our soul. We must learn to trust our psychic knowing for life as we know it is collapsing. We are being called to awaken out of the illusion, awaken to who we truly are.

As the world changes, our old way of being in the world is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses.  What we could once trust with our mind, no longer works, we must now listen deeper to our Soul.  When we listen with our mind we feel confused, lost, anxious, fearful, nervous, and depressed. Our Soul only speaks from love, peace, joy and clarity,

These are but a few steps to take each day to hear the language of your Soul.

Meditate 10 minutes a day

Sit in silence

Notice how you feel

Notice your breath

Ask your Soul” are you there”

Trust what you hear

Journal write it down  

Many years ago I wrote this poem:

“Speak Loudly Sweet Soul”

In my silence I wait for you

Sometimes patient

Sometimes in turmoil

Precious Soul to touch you

To hear your words of love

Would make this journey oh so clear

The roar - the sound in my head - so loud

Always chatter of a distant past 

Of long died dreams

A future not yet come

I’ve tried so hard to get to you

Unraveling old faded dreams

Fears, monsters -Feeling unsafe

Lonely all the time

Venturing to foreign lands

Journeys outside of me

In search of something 

I sense you there Sweet Soul

Speak loudly So I can hear

Your language 

Speak loudly so I can find  

A place to call my own

Speak loudly Sweet Soul

I want to come home

Magic of Numbers and Math

Every number has a certain power which is expressed both by its symbol denoting its representation and by its connection to universal principles. Numbers have relationships with all things in nature, thus making them supremely powerful symbolic expressions.

There are 4 unusual dates this year: 

1/1/11, 1/11/11 (both already gone) 

11/1/11 and 11/11/11. 

For fun try this one.....

Take the last 2 digits of the year you were born plus the age you will be this year and it will equal 111! 

Numerical meaning:

111: The number One reflects new beginnings, and purity. The symbolic meaning of number One represents both physical and mental action. When ones re-occur in our lives it indicates a time to take action, and start a new venture. 

111= 3: Three deals with magic, intuition, new growth and advantage, expression, versatility, and joy of creativity. Three is also a time identifier as it represents Past, Present and Future. Three typically symbolizes reward and success in most undertakings.

The Zeitgeist Movement

Zeit-geist the defining spirit, awareness or mood of a period of time as shown by the ideas, beliefs and practices of a culture or generation.

Zeitgeist: The Movie is a 2007 documentary film by Peter Joseph. It asserts a number of conspiracy theory-based ideas, including the Christ myth theory, alternative theories for the parties responsible for the September 11th attacksand that bankers manipulate the international monetary system and the media in order to consolidate power.

The film was officially released online on June 18, 2007 on zeitgeistmovie.com.[1] In addition to being characterized as "nonsense",[2] it has been criticized for reported factual inaccuracies, and the quality of its arguments.[3][4][5][6] A sequel, Zeitgeist: Addendum, focuses further on the monetary system and advocates a resource-based social system influenced by the ideas of Jacque Fresco and The Venus Project.[7][8] Following Zeitgeist: Addendum, Peter Joseph created an organization called The Zeitgeist Movement to promote the ideas of Fresco's Venus Project.[9] A third film called Zeitgeist: Moving Forward is scheduled to be released in January 2011. Peter Joseph has stated that its topics will focus on human behavior, technology, and rationality.[10]     From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Braco Croatian-healer

In April 2010 I flew to Los Angeles California with a friend to witness a Croatian-healer named Braco (pronounced Braht-oh) who  miraculously heals with his gaze alone.  His healings are unexplainable, yet undeniable.  Countless people in Europe have been remarkably and often spontaneously healed by Braco’s silent gaze.  Over 200,000 people traveled to experience his silent gaze in 2008 alone.   Physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, and interpersonal healings have all been reported.

Braco is a humble and gentle man, whose nickname translates in his native Croatian to affectionately mean ‘little brother’.  Since 1995, laymen, doctors, and scientists have recognized Braco for his miraculous healing ability.  He never speaks during a healing session, nor does he address individuals regarding their issues. In 2002, he realized that gazing at a group of people intensified the results.  Since then, he gazes at groups ranging from 50 to over 1000 people, and does as many as 20 sessions per day.

During a healing session, Braco simply stands on a platform in front of his audience and silently looks ahead with a gentle gaze.  All present are instructed to stand and look at his eyes while thinking of their illnesses and problems. During the five-minute healing session, many immediately feel energetic bodily sensations, while others have profound experiences of joy. Sometimes, something dramatic happens for those with maladies, but more often people walk away just feeling better about their lives.  Those with serious illness are encouraged to check with their physician to confirm progress.

On January 4, 2011 I traveled to Portland Oregon with two friends to once again experience Braco. As before I experienced a level of clarity, confirmation, release, and much more in the powerful healing vortex he radiates. Each time I have been deeply touched and moved by these experiences, so much so that I wanted to share Braco with you my reader.

2011 Solar Eclipse

Happy New Year!

What a great kick off for 2011. January 4th we will have a solar eclipse in the sign Capricorn. This solar eclipse in Capricorn occurs as part of a rolling stellium consisting of North Node, Pluto, Sun, Moon, and Mars in Capricorn, with Sun, Moon and Mars square to Saturn in Libra. This Capricorn solar eclipse will be especially felt by the cardinal signs (Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra). Anyone with planets near 13 degrees of any of the Cardinal signs will also feel this eclipse more strongly.

A solar eclipse always falls on a new moon, and new moons open paths to new experiences and opportunities. A solar eclipse brings news of a new chapter to form soon. Because eclipses are powerful, we need to watch what happens at eclipse time, as they tend to focus on big life events, like marriages, births, new homes, new positions, and so forth. Nothing is exactly "average" at the time of an eclipse - take your news seriously!

Mars will be conjunct the solar eclipse in Capricorn until January 15th and that tells me we should start to see results immediately, with little waiting. Mars will work with the eclipse to set up a trend that will continue on and on. Think of Mars as a booster to the eclipse rocket that will send you in a new direction. Venus will get into the act too, by beaming both Jupiter and Uranus her blessings

All eclipses have an area of influence of at least six months, so this influence should be grand enough to see it and feel it quite noticeably.

This partial solar eclipse will be seen in Europe, Africa and Central Asia. It will begin at 06:40:11 UT (Universal Time)) and culminates at 11:00:54 UT. The greatest eclipse –point of time when the distance between the Moon’s shadow axis and Earth’s center is the minimum – will happen at 08:50:35 UT over northern Sweden. If you live in northern Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia, you will be able to witness this eclipse.

How does healing Happen?

I have asked myself this many times in the past. Several years ago I went to see John of God the Brazilian healer they call the “Miracle Man”. I witnessed him using the most unorthodox methods to assist others in their healing. I was blown away by the miraculous results that took place as one person after the other was healed, many who had come to see him as a last resort.

I talked to many people after their encounter with John of God about their healing, many people I spoke to were not religious, nor spiritual, just desperate to receive their miracle and to live, willing to try anything. 

Some people did not receive this miracle of life but found resolve with their life and peaceful about moving on, wherever that may be.

Conversation after conversation with people I heard them say , “ I can do everything “right’ and die, or do everything “wrong” and live. When it is our time, nothing can prevent us from this final frontier. 

This may be true, however, I love life and since most of us do not know when we will leave this plane I feel that we should always reach for life and that which is life giving. In the reaching profound growth can happen.

Each time I would go before John of God, he would say to me “we are helping you”. I would walk away each time and ask myself, what does he mean, they are helping me? It took me three pilgrimages to see John of God to understand what it was that he was trying to tell me.

I am the healer, if he had healed me I would never know that healing myself was possible. When healing happens it is something within us consciously or unconsciously inviting it to happen. It may look like healing is getting done by somebody or something outside ourselves, but the truth is that someone or something is simply a conduit for our healing.  What I know to date it that each of us are healers and when healing takes place it is of our own doing.

John of God often says, ‘I do not heal”. For me John of God was a compassionate facilitator, he showed me what is possible, what was miraculous can be the norm. It is ours to believe.
