Kathy's Blog Blog 8/6/2011 On Getting Older By Kathy Lee I have a couple of friends and family who have recently or will soon be having “big” birthdays. 40, 45, 50…I know this isn’t “old” to those of you who are older, but they are milestones, none-the-less. My older clients frequently tell me, “Ahhh, honey, you are just a baby.” Well, of course this is true when you are 90 and I will be 44 this year. But still, when you reach any of these milestones, you kinda have a WTF moment where you stop and think, “how did I get to be this OLD….it was only a few days ago, I was 25!” Yes, the time does fly. It’s a even greater pisser when you realize that at your age, you aren’t where you’d envisioned yourself to be (when imagining it when you were 25!). I was discussing it with someone who said that I had had a crisis when I turned 40. I don’t think I did. If I did, it was just the momentary….”How did I get HERE, so FAST?!” then it passed. Instead I was reveling in turning 40 and this year I will revel in turning 44. Yeah, at times, it feels surreal because I don’t FEEL in my 40’s. (And you can totally substitute any age here, it all works! Even my son who will be 19 is in the “after graduation” transition….) But here’s my take on it. All of my life, I have been a quiet, passive, sweet “girl”. But when I turned 40, I thought, “Hey, I’m finally a grown up!” (Some people do realize this sooner than 40!!) “And I can do and say whatever I want!” I also had my first child young and so I got a lot of flack from pediatricians and such who equated youth with stupidity. Not that I knew it all at 20, not by far, but I certainly wasn’t stupid, either. So turning 40 also gives you a certain air of credibility, sort of like people start to believe that you’re really old enough to know what you are talking about. (Although, as we all know, you can be any age and still not have an inkling of what’s really going on.) But turning 40, and now 44, was powerful for me. It has felt rather good not to be considered a child anymore or a young adult or a young bimbo. (Oh god forbid, Ha ha). I felt that I had gained some wisdom (that hopefully I can share with those younger who are just starting on the path). I don’t think I’d want to be 25 again…and have to do it all again…..all that uncertainty and people who want to control you. No, thanks. Hell no!! Of course, I might do it again, if I could go back in time knowing what I know now…but that isn’t reality for us, only for Marty McFly. There are perks to getting older. You can say and do much more of what you want (as long as you aren’t hurting anyone else). I think of Kathy Bates in “Fried Green Tomatoes” …a movie about a woman coming into her power in her mid-years. “Towanda!” (That was the new name she made for herself!) There is a scene where some young women steal her parking space then proceed to insult her as if she is old and washed up. She proceeds to ram their car repeatedly with her own. When they loudly protest, she says, “Hey honey, I may be older, but I got more insurance!” The comedian Nick Swardson also comes to mind…he has a skit about old people….I encourage you to watch it if you want a laugh (Don’t do it with small children in the room). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hTv-PH2qlk (3 minutes long) He talks about how old people can do some really crazy stuff and get away with it. Grandpa gets to put shit in a box and give it as a birthday gift and everyone just says, “poor grandpa.” So true. So true. And no disrespect intended at all…..I loved all of my grandparents very dearly and they all held tremendous amounts of wisdom and I think they guide me still from the other side. My point is that getting older has it’s perks. It’s definitely not something to be scared of or intimidated by. Age has honor, wisdom and power, for men and women alike. We know what we want, we know what we like, and there comes a day when we are not afraid to speak our truth. And, that truly is a day for rejoicing. And if there is something that we want to do, it’s never, ever too late……Grandma Moses attained world fame as an artist and she didn’t start until she was 76 years old….she had a hard life, she started working at age 12, birthed 10 children, 5 of whom died at birth….so if she isn’t an inspiration, I don’t know who is. And sex? Well, who says it has to end after the 40’s or 50’s? Sexuality begins in the mind and if you have a happy relationship with a willing partner then we can stay pretty darn hot! Some say that women’s sexuality doesn’t even peak until age 40. So don’t let age depress you. Step into the power that getting older brings. Know what you want and go for it. You have lived a little, you have some wisdom and there’s lots more coming in the future. It ain’t over till it’s over Take care of yourself, love yourself, and be the best you can be. And, yeah, I, for one, am looking forward to being the crazy old lady wearing purple…and yes, I am going to start now…..hence, the purple reading glasses. J Have some fun. Enjoy the ride! Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, HOLY SHIT, WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!! (author unknown) , but rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy Shit, what a ride!" WHEN I AM AN OLD WOMAN I SHALL WEAR PURPLE
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers. But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple. Taken from the book
When I Am An Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple

Papier Mache Press--Watsonville, California 1987 And this poem was one I found when I was about 12….and I have loved it ever since, well worth sharing…… If I Had My Life Over - I'd Pick More Daisies Nadine Stair If I had my life to live over, I'd dare to make more mistakes next time. I'd relax, I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been this trip. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones. You see, I'm one of those people who lived sensibly and sanely, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have more of them. In fact, I'd try to have nothing else. Just moments, one after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day. I've been one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water bottle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had to do it again, I would travel lighter than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies. Aug. 4, 2011... I did not write this one but it is well worth reading about the astrological aspects this week. Elsa's site and conteacts are included. [http://www.elsaelsa.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/elsa-jan-2009a.jpg]
We'll be dealing with a vicious Cardinal grand cross that involves Mars (anger, violence, ambition), Saturn (oppression, control, reality), Uranus (shock and rebellion) and Pluto (death and psychology) this week. This is not a light-weight situation but anyone who is not adverse to challenge should fare okay.
This is potentially a very dangerous week but it won't help to spend it hiding under the bed. Mars is happy with prowess and achievement so set some goals and stay on top your game. Surprise (Uranus) people with your intense focus (Pluto), discipline (Saturn) and skill (Mars).
In fact, you can make that your mantra for the week. Whatever happens, you can commit ahead of time to handling the situation in a way that is keen, effective and mature. If you're successful with this, you'll get to be a hero which is something everyone wants whether they admit it or not.
There are some finer points to make. First, Mercury is retrograde all week and opposing Neptune in retrograde. On top of that, both planets change signs this week so communications are going to be very hard to track.
When you overlay this situation with the grand cross, I think the best way to cope is to separate out what you can control and what you cannot. Focus on the former and this will spare you wasting (Neptune) time or words (Mercury) when there are so many other things to do.
I also want to call out the moon's transit through Scorpio on Friday and Saturday because it will be especially stressed and add another layer to the scene this week. The Moon in Scorpio will form a Fixed T-square with the Sun and Venus in Leo and Jupiter in Taurus. At that point, every planet in the sky will be under duress. As for the qualities of this t-square, people will be stubborn to say the least. Fixed means fixed so if you run into someone with their heels dug in, I'd leave them be.
If you are looking for the easier days this week, mark Sunday and Monday on your calendar. The Moon will be in Sagittarius then, and enjoy considerable support from planets in Aries, Leo, Libra and Aquarius. Humor goes a long way.
If you want to talk about these issues or anything else, please schedule a phone appointment<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=Pa10w&m=3kbtodRYZHHWZfW&b=Fl77BmGirKhO7cxoT76zVA> or contact me for an email consult<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=Pa10w&m=3kbtodRYZHHWZfW&b=oWNUsQzVyeE_hqfIFSUfrQ>.
July 11, 2011 Yesterday the energy was super intense. For me, it feels like a horrible edginess that won't go away coupled with anxiety and saddness. It makes you want to jump out of your skin. Women could relate by saying it feels like super bad PMS. For people with anxiety it can be related to super bad free floating anxiety. Many other people I spoke to were also aware of the energy, some more affected than others. I have noticed a direct correlation between earth changes, solar flares, electromagnetic storms and what I feel internally. This morning when I looked at the earthquake website, there had been a 7.0 off the shore of Japan yesterday. I had even said to someone that the energy yesterday hadn't been that intense since the first Japan earthquake back in March. I seem to only feel the bigger ones that are over a 6 or 7. (Thank heavens.) I was giving it alot of thought yesterday as how to handle these energies of ascending consciousness and earth changes. I realized that there is not one person on the planet at this time who has ever gone through this before. Therefore, there is no one who can effectively guide us about handling these energies when they become overwhelming. There are as many opinions as there are people. Some of the opinions are wrong and misleading and only lead to more fear and confusion. We need to exercise discernment as to what teachers we choose to listen to. What came to me was that as we continue to progress forward, we need to connect with our Higher Selves and our spiritual guides and angels to receive the answers that we need. The answers are at our fingertips and in our hearts if we will only be open to receiving them. The intensity can be very trying for people who are sensitive to feeling the energies. Getting outside and being in nature seems to help and also meditating and/or physical exercise. Perhaps the key is to remain open and clear so that the energies flow through us and back into the earth, so stay grounded. What else has come to me is that when these energies flow through you, they come up against any blockages that you have inside yourself (things you need to let go of) and so we feel this as our "issues" coming up. This is a good indicator of where your issues are and what you still need to work on releasing. July 3, 2011 Blog The impacts of the energies have been profound. As most of you know we have had 3 eclipses and the solstice since June 1. The last of the three eclipses was Friday, July 1. Today is the midway point of the ninth and last Mayan cycle that culminates on Oct. 28, 2011. We are growing in leaps and bounds and to see this happen is phenomenal. It is at times painful, stressful, and scary but I am starting to see an end result of sorts emerging and it is beautiful. At the risk of being redundant, I have to say this again because I find it amazing and fascinating, the growth that took us 12 years (1999-2011) during the last Mayan cycle is twenty times faster this time and the same amount of growth is going to take only 8 months this time (March-Oct 2011). So, it’s kinda like, hold on to your socks, we are on a wild ride! I have been sick for the past 10 days, some kind of bronchitis type thing. This is very different because I rarely get sick and for it to fall in the middle of the eclipses is more than a coincidence. It’s a releasing on the physical level. Also this weekend, I am moving out of my current office and into doing more house call work and being able to utilize a new workspace that will be more cost efficient. I didn’t plan any of this to happen this way. It just did. I’m learning to go with the flow. Sometimes we have to put our intentions out there and then see where we are led. This is what I am trying to do. Intend what you desire but also surrender to the flow of the Universe. It sounds like a contradiction but it’s not. We are letting go of everything that no longer is working for us and learning to move into new ways of being and doing. And we are learning to trust; trust that our needs will be met and we will have everything that we need. Trust that if we let go of what isn’t working, we can open the space to move into a place where things do start to work for us. More than just that, we are learning that we do indeed hold the keys to creating the life of our dreams. We are not just “surviving” but we are meant to thrive and prosper and live in joy. It is a scary leap to let go of how you’ve always done things in the past and be open to doing things in a new way. But taking that leap opens new doors and opens the space for the new to arrive which will infinitely more fulfilling that what we’ve been trying to hold on to (by our bleeding fingernails). And as my friend says to me, “I am a child of Spirit, I refuse to worry, and the Universe has my back.” When you think of it that way, how can you go wrong? In addition to all this, as if it wasn’t enough, the veil is lifting between dimensions and we are opening to spiritual truths and growth that we may have been closed to before, or just not fully been able to grasp before. We are seeing things (and people) as they really are. The truth cannot be suppressed any longer about anything. Everything is coming to the surface to be seen and acknowledged. Spiritual truth is going off inside of us like a light bulb lighting up for the first time. We are awakening. Those of us already awake and on the path are growing and awakening even more. It’s just beyond amazing. Some days are roller coasters of emotions and pains and releasing the old crap but other days, we are opening to the peace and tranquility and love that await us on the other side of this massive transition and ascension in human consciousness. We are learning and moving beyond fear. I had a very profound learning experience this morning. I have to give a tiny bit of background for you to understand this story. About 7 years ago, there was someone who liked me a lot. However I was with someone else at the time. So without getting into juicy details, this person tried doing some energetic work to get me to change my mind about what I was doing. At the time, I could feel it. In my heart of hearts, I knew what was going on, but I denied it and told myself I was merely having severe panic attacks. The symptoms were intense and frightening, like those of psychic attacks. Then about 2 years ago, I had another experience that was identical. The “symptoms” were the same, exactly. Again, I had an idea of what was going on, but I didn’t know if I really believed that someone could exert that much energetic influence on another person. I didn’t want to believe it was possible. Well, after it was all said and done, someone who knew the person sending the attack admitted to me that I was, indeed, being attacked energetically, and quite severely. Then today, I had an opportunity, after 7 years, to speak to the person who was doing the energetic manipulation back then. I asked if that was what they were doing. The person admitted that the answer was yes, and it wasn’t just them, but a whole group of energetically knowledgeable people was helping him. This news took my breath away. It confirmed what I had known (but denied) to be true. I was being attacked and felt it profoundly. To say that is even an understatement. It felt like pure hell in both instances. So where I’m going with this is here: as a healer, teacher, energy worker, student of metaphysics, I KNOW that energy has an impact. Our energy impacts those around us. Other people’s energy impacts us. I knew that. I channel healing energy every day. But maybe I had only grasped it on an intellectual level about our own personal vibrations and intentions. Today I fully, completely understood. I GET IT. I really, really get it. It’s no longer words in my mind or words on paper, but a gut level KNOWING. (If this makes sense to you.) It’s like one of those “aha!!” moments. The implications are far reaching. And for this knowledge to make itself so clear to me on July 3, the morning of the second half of the last Mayan wave that will culminate in a HUGE leap in human consciousness is just mind blowing. What it means is this: we have tremendous power to affect those around us. Tremendous power. If we are in a bad mood, depressed, or whatever, it carries forth and affects those around us. They FEEL it. Some may only pick up on it on a subconscious level (and react to us with hostility or try to avoid us). Others who are more sensitive will pick up on it consciously and instantly. This gives us a really big responsibility to do our best to keep our vibrations high. Not only does this help those around us, but also it attracts to us good things in life. Low vibrations = low vibrations coming back at us. High vibrations = high vibrations coming back at us. I know how I have felt being psychically attacked, which is one extreme, but I also know how I feel after spending time with someone depressed. I can feel it. So, basically what I am saying is, I am realizing that I don’t want to inflict my own crap on other people. It’s human to feel bad or depressed but we have the power to take some time out, breathe, meditate, focus on the good or do whatever you need to do to turn the negative vibration around. Also, if we need to forgive, we need to do it. Yes, I know it can be really hard. But when we are holding on to non-forgiveness, we are blocking our own energy flow as well as sending out vibrations that are really low. This can affect everything in our lives. Everything. So if you need to forgive some things and/or people and let them go, do it, not only for your sake but the sake of the other person and the quality of your own life and consciousness. Forgiveness doesn’t mean that you have to be friends and go have lunch with the person. It doesn’t mean you condone what they did to you. It means you release them from your own mind. They no longer have a place to live in your head. You let them walk away along with the anger and resentment that was created by the situation. You are free and they are free. And there is no need to seek “revenge” as we sometimes are humanly inclined to do. Karma plays a big part in these things and when people go around doing crappy things to other people, the crap boomerangs right back to them. So, you can let it go and let the law of cause and effect handle the rest. The second implication of this is that we need to learn to protect ourselves from other outside vibrations. Many of us on a spiritual path are empaths, which means, we FEEL other people’s stuff. We have to learn to discern what is “our” stuff and what belongs to someone else. Honestly, I have never learned to fully protect myself. After the realization that twice now I have had experiences of severe psychic attack, I understand that protecting ourselves is something we should do as routinely as brushing our teeth. I can promise and assure you that the psychic attack is something I will never allow again. I will never, EVER allow my energetic space to be invaded in that way. It doesn’t have to be something as serious as a psychic attack but it could be as simple as being with a depressed friend and then finding you feel depressed yourself or being in line at the store and being able to feel the stress of the person in line in front of you. This doesn’t mean that we BLAME someone else for “causing” us to feel bad. What it does mean is that we take responsibility for our own energetic space and we DO NOT allow it to become contaminated. I am learning more about this protection thing. As I learn more, I will write more about it. The information that I did channel this morning on this topic was this, and for what it is worth, I will share it. I channeled information from my guides and what they said was that the higher our vibrations are, the more immune we are to lower vibrations. High vibrations are light and love. Darkness cannot penetrate the light. When you turn on the light switch in a dark room, the dark goes away, it is flooded with light. When you are filled with light and emanate it, the darkness cannot touch you. And furthermore, my guides shared with me that when we are in low vibrational states ourselves, then we become vulnerable to feeling the low vibrations and more open to things like psychic attack. (Although real, calculated psychic attack is rare. Even someone being very angry with us can feel like an attack of sorts, although it is different than someone actually plotting to send you negative energy in order to manipulate you.) It is the same with our physical bodies, when we are run down and not properly nourished and rested, then we become vulnerable to getting sick. We need to practice proper spiritual hygiene as well as physical care and hygiene of our bodies. So as we are entering the second half of the last Mayan wave today and our consciousness is constantly accelerating, it is so important to take control of our own vibration. I was going to say, “be mindful” of our own vibrations, but I think it goes a lot further than that. We have to CONTROL it. We affect others and we are affected depending on the level of our vibration. We are coming into a place where we are the creators of our own realities. Our consciousness and our vibration are infinitely creative. We can no longer be victim to outside forces. We must start controlling our own inner reactions, thoughts and vibrations. It’s time to stop inflicting our misery on other people. And it’s time to protect our own energetic space (in whatever way works for you) from other people’s misery. This does not mean that we lack caring or compassion. But when we are at rock bottom, sad, depressed and/or hopeless then we are of no use to anyone else. I have often cited Dr. Emoto’s work with water crystal and human thought and vibration. What he found was that when the water was cursed, it formed ugly, deformed crystals. When the water was blessed and loved, it formed beautiful crystals. So this concept does not only apply to humans, but it extends to our thoughts and feelings towards the planet and all of her inhabitants. I think everyone who knows me well knows that I love Gandhi’s famous quote that says, “Be the change you wish to see”. So if we wish to see world peace, acceleration of consciousness (where people care and love one another), global brotherhood and community, kindness, caring for the earth and not destroying Her, my friends, it all starts within you. BE the change. Be it, live it, embody it. Today I hope it will become as clear to you as it has to me, the profound effect of your energy on everyone and everything around you. We are creators, given great power. Let’s use it wisely. I’m not suggesting this flippantly and suggesting that we all become Pollyannaish. But what I am saying is that we are powerful. Much more powerful than we ordinarily realize and as we enter this accelerated time of changing consciousness, this is going to be key. Live authentically, live in love and speak your truth and stay in your power. June 28, 2011 Fantastic article by Mayan expert Carl Calleman, written June 23, 2011. Very worth reading. June 24, 2011 I went to the park to sit by the water and relax and meditate on Wednesday. It was a glorious, beautiful sunny day. The water was crystal clear. It was perfect. As I was sitting on a bench inhaling the beauty, a man approached me and asked if he could sit next to me. Well, I don’t own the bench, so I say, “Sure” although I would rather not have been bothered with conversation. He then proceeded to offer me some gum and I politely declined. (DON’T drink the cool-aid.) Then he asked if he could say something to me that I might find weird. Being no stranger at all to weirdness, I said, “Of course, and chances are I won’t find it weird at all.” (Boy was I about to be surprised!) Well, it turns out this fellow was the personal messenger of Archangel Gabriel. At this point, I became intrigued and wanted to hear more about this since I am a believer in angels, elementals and the spirit realm and I am a healer. He attempted to show me the marks of stigmata on himself to validate what he was telling me. Before he told me what I was looking at, he held out his palm and all I could see were the normal lines…I thought he was showing me a long life-line. “No”, he says, “can’t you see the marks from the nails?” As much as I tried, I couldn’t see a thing on his hands or his face. Then he told me that he is the reason we haven’t had rain in south Florida. He said he has stopped the rains. I asked why in the world he would want to prevent rain while we are in a severe drought? (By the way, it rained the past two days.) Well, not only is he the personal messenger of the angel Gabriel, but he is also the “destroyer”…..of demons…..and of south Florida. South Florida is apparently the place that God hates the most. He told me he could walk on water (we were sitting right beside the water) but he preferred not to since he wasn’t there to please people. Good thing, since we wouldn’t have wanted anyone to believe he was for real. It’s always better to stay under-cover. I told him I thought he had an awfully big ego. The conversation continued and became confrontational……why I didn’t walk away at this point is beyond me, I guess I enjoy a good debate. He told me all about how God is really pissed off at us and is going to destroy everyone who doesn’t adhere to the Christian way. God especially hates homosexuals, masturbation and sex before marriage. I explained to him that I don’t worship a Higher Power that has human emotions like jealousy, judgement and rage. I asked him what Jesus had to say on the matter of loving each other without judgement. This point seemed irrelevant to him. I asked him what church he was affiliated with and his answer was that he was his own authority, that he receives his messages directly from God and that all churches and pastors are only after money. I told him God speaks to me too. He pretty much dismissed that as nonsense and told me that I was a mere “civilian” and he was a “warrior”. He told me about all the major disasters that will befall this country before the end of September. (Look out!) This is because the founding fathers of our country were Masons and opened the gates of hell, allowing demons to enter and dwell among us. He told me about the four types of demons and what they look like and what they do to you. (Oh my! Not pretty!) Then the conversation steered towards early Christianity and the editing and re-editing of the Bible and the Gnostic gospels and 2012 and Mayans and lots of other stuff. I think he may have heard some new things from my mouth but my words fell on deaf ears and a closed mind. He reiterated again and again that if you don’t follow the Christian path (those weren’t the exact words he used) you will be destroyed since humanity was born in sin. I told him I thought his God was pretty sadistic since He supposedly created us, knowing full well that we would fail at being perfect, then happily destroy us when we do fail. What is that if not sadistic? Then, I had to ask the question that’s been nagging me since I was 3 years old……What happens to all the indigenous peoples all over the world that the missionaries never reach with the word of Jesus Christ? Is it fair that they be anniliated because of their ignorance? How is this fair? His reply was that at the end of the world there will be a global announcement that they will be able to respond to (or not), should they choose to reject God, then they will be destroyed. (I so hope that the announcement is in their language or at least has a translator.) He told me that God really doesn’t love humanity, because, if He did, He certainly wouldn’t allow terrible natural disasters to occur. And furthermore, the natural disasters occur because God is angry and enjoys wiping us out. We are merely like bugs to God. T He can suck our energy back up at any time and re-create us into something new. (I thought that was how reincarnation works?) And yet, he told me how important it is to pray and pray and renounce the flesh. I couldn’t quite grasp what for, if God doesn’t love us anyway and wants to destroy us, why bother? He then offered to heal me of all pain by a single touch. I said, “No, thank you. Don’t touch me.” (Noooooooooooooooo) I couldn’t quite get why he’d want to heal someone who was, in his eyes, doomed anyway. I was informed that by rejecting him, I was rejecting Jesus Christ. I said, “Did I miss something? Are you Jesus?….Me thinks, once again, you have a pretty big ego at work there.” He told me he didn’t care what I thought of him and I told him I didn’t care what he thought of me. He said he was begging me to believe what he was saying because he could see I was such a nice, kind, peace-loving person and he didn’t want God to destroy me. I said I’d just have to take my chances. It was at this point that I finally decided to pick up my belongings and walk away. Now, up to this point it may sound like I am making fun of Christianity and Christian people. I’m not. To each his own, whatever works and floats your boat is fine. (Just please don’t try to shove it down other people’s throats.) This man was not Christian and was delusional. True Christians follow the words of Jesus when he said, “Love one another, pray for your enemies and bless those who persecute you.” True love does not rejoice in the face of human suffering, tragedy and destruction. The scary thing about this man was that he was so MILITANT with his beliefs and so set on his way being the ONLY way. Talk about having a closed mind, this guy’s mind was airtight. These people that rejoice in doing the destructive work of their God scare the living hell out of me. Add some delusion to the mix and, frankly, you might have something truly dangerous on your hands. (A demon, perhaps?) I was upset for allowing myself to be sucked into a conversation with a crazy person. But I had to defend us, all of us……gay people…….masturbators…….people who have had sex to someone they weren’t married to…….all of us who have not lived perfect lives. Hey, I think I was defending the entire planet! Maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing to get into a debate with the “Destroyer”. Eerie? Yes indeed. Totally bizarre. Scary? Yes. (I have to wonder at the gift I have been given to be able to attract any weirdo within ten miles.) I went home, burned my sage and cleared my energy field of this fellow’s hateful vibrations. This was one of those people that we normally only see on You-tube, that you watch and wonder if people like this really do exist, and where? People that you just can’t imagine could be so militant and so hateful of anything unlike themselves. They do exist and they believe that they are right. And they are the ONLY ones who could be right. They are alive and among us in our very own South Florida. All I can say, with a big sigh, is “live and let live”. So, the next time I go down to sit in the park by the water and meditate, I will bring my own chair and plant it under a nice shade tree…….so that I don’t have to share a bench with anyone. June 15, 2011 Full moon and eclipse Just a quick blog today with some thoughts I had to share…. the energies today are so intense, so transformative. The month started with an eclipse on the first, then another today, then Solstice on the 21st and then another eclipse on July 1. Lots and lots of transformation going on. Then, add to that the solar flares that so many of us can feel and the energy feels wild. There is such a range of things that we can be going thru right now depending on where we are energetically. This energy is about releasing, growing, changes, and transformation…or perhaps those are all the synonyms for the same thing! Our emotions have ranged from elation to depression and our physical bodies from high energy and motivation to exhausted lethargy. This is all normal right now during this energetic period. Lots of things can change unexpectedly; big things like jobs, relationships, housing…. all kinds of stuff. Know that whatever changes, it is for the best. Trust the process and the Universe and God or Goddess or whatever you prefer to call It. If your intention is to release, even if you don’t know how, you will find it happening almost automatically. But the more conscious you can be about it, the easier it is. Unconscious release can feel a lot like depression and irritation and anger coming up for “no apparent reason”. But when we focus on what we want and need to release, it happens easier and we are more aware of the process instead of just feeling out of control with our emotions. Recently I have felt somewhat stuck in certain areas of my life and today it became very apparent what that was all about. It went off like the proverbial light bulb above my head! How obvious! I was harboring unforgiveness for a long time. It seemed virtually impossible to let it go although I wanted to. Today I felt a shift and when I thought of the people involved in the scenario, the old anger and resentment just weren’t there anymore. It feels like a miracle. These are the kinds of intense energies that are surrounding us right now. Unforgiveness, by the way, is a very, very big blockage in your life and energetic field. Harboring anger and resentment blocks the way for many other good things to show up…and can definitely keep you stuck. So let it go, whatever it is that you’ve held onto that blocks your forward progress. Also the veil is getting thinner. Just today alone two very close friends of mine both shared stories about their loved ones (from the other side) making very clear appearances in their lives. One audibly heard “Good Morning”…. and my friend answered the voice and then looked around and no one was there. (We think it was her dad who passed last year.) Another friend’s husband showed up in her bedroom (he had passed earlier this year). The veil (which is the divider, so to speak) between this world and/or dimension and the others is thinner. What this means is that we are allowed more and more glimpses of the other side, whether it be in the way of a deceased loved one showing up or it is the appearance of our angels or elementals or other dimensional beings. We are also hearing the voices of our guides and angels much more clearly. Our own telepathic and psychic abilities are also becoming very strong. When it is the voice of our guides and/or our intuition, we need to learn to trust it. If you have a hard time doing this, start trusting it with the small things first and you will how often this guidance is exactly right on. I want to encourage you to make good use of this energy. Focus on what you wish to release and make an active effort or at least a very clear intention to “let it go”. Set goals and do something tangible to start working towards them. Know that you can heal, both your physical bodies and your mental, spiritual and emotional bodies. We are working towards the new earth and we are undergoing such transformation and growth right now. I know it is not always easy. Many new-age writers write about being in constant states of bliss and love. This is not always the case and if you’re not feeling it, you are not alone. I have been given big glimpses of the states of bliss and love but then at times, I have returned back to the processing and releasing state (which doesn’t feel so good). At other times, I know I am assimilating the energies into my body and the physical sensations don’t feel so great. Just know that this is all a part of the process. Know that the energies are at work and try to roll with them. If you feel awful one day, know that you are allowing something long suppressed to come up to the surface and you are letting it go. It will pass and you will feel good again. Last night we had a really spectacular sunset, brilliant shades of neon pink that lasted long in the sky after the sun went down. This was followed by a freakish storm that felt a whole lot like a tornado or hurricane winds that lasted maybe 5 minutes. It was very odd. After this all passed, I was outside and I could physically feel the shift coming and maybe the sunset and the storm were Gaia’s way of showing us the shift in Her more tangible terms. As an after thought, I had to share this. The timing is pure synchronicity. As I was writing about releasing what blocks us and how I felt I had done my own releasing this morning and as I was actually sitting here writing this, I received a phone message that may open the doors to a whole new opportunity for me. Talk about releasing what blocks us………………….keep on keeping on. ;-))) Return of the Divine Feminine By Kathy Lee 5/28/11 We’ve been hearing a lot lately about the return of the Divine Feminine energies to our planet and how this will transform our patriarchal system. This is occurring now as we near the great shift of the ages .Not clearly understanding until recently, I imagined that the return of the Divine Feminine would be a kind of sweet, passive, nurturing, mushy-squishy energy. How wrong I have been to imagine it this way. The Great Mother has been in existence since the beginning of time. Over the many years, She became more obscure as the male patriarchy and their deities took over. The Goddess/Great Mother is depicted in many ways. There are many faces and personifications of Her many aspects. The individual personifications are the parts that make up the Whole, which encompass the duality, the yin and the yang. There are Goddesses who are healing, loving and compassionate, and conversely, on the other end of that spectrum, there are the Goddesses who are fierce warriors and destroyers. Some Goddesses embody both aspects, such as Sekhmet, the Egyptian Goddess of healing. Sekhmet was one of the most revered healing deities but at the same time, She displayed fierce anger and was a destroyer. Recently I was hearing a woman’s story about dealing with her grown daughter’s abusive boyfriend. This man beat the young woman often and apparently, the young woman was unable to free herself from this situation. One day the woman’s mother came over for a visit. An encounter took place between the boyfriend and the mother. He thought he would be able to bully and abuse the mother as well as the daughter. The altercation took place in the garage of the house and when the man became physically violent toward the mother, she reached for the nearest thing to defend herself with, which was a tennis racquet, and stopped the man in his tracks. The man required a trip to the emergency room and several stitches. This put an end to the relationship between the daughter and the boyfriend since he found that “mother” hitting him just wasn’t acceptable even though him beating the daughter was perfectly ok. In another instance, a woman was tending her dying mother in the hospital. The mother was in the end stage of a terminal illness having only hours or days to live. The doctor wanted to subject the dying woman to an unnecessary and painful procedure that would serve no purpose whatsoever since the woman was already on her deathbed. Why this was, one can only speculate, perhaps it was to get the last bit of remaining money out of the situation for the medical establishment. The woman told the doctor in no uncertain terms to keep his hands off of her mother and furthermore to not send her a bill for her questionable services. The mother was able to die a peaceful and painless death with her daughter by her side. As I listened to the stories of these strong and courageous women, something clicked inside my head. I heard a voice proclaim: “THIS is the return of the Divine Feminine.” This is it. It isn’t more passive, doormat kind of energy. It isn’t an energy that is stereotypically associated with females. It isn’t the quiet, seen and not heard, do what you will kind of energy. It is kick ass, powerful, strong energy. It is women all over the entire world (and men too) calling out for justice of all kinds; calling out for justice, balance, peace, and clarity. It is women (and men) standing up, standing proud and courageous and shouting, “We aren’t going to take this anymore.” The return of the Divine Feminine energy is seen and heard and is very powerful. It is people standing up to protect the rights of others, to protect our children. It is protecting and preserving the planet and our natural resources. It is people saying “enough is enough” and “no more”. These things can be done in an atmosphere of love and light but there is also a powerful warrior aspect involved. For the woman being attacked by her daughter’s boyfriend, being passive and “loving” would have only resulted in her being injured and the continued battering of her daughter. It was time for her to take a stand and she did. For the woman in the hospital with her mother to be non-confrontational and passive would have resulted in unnecessary pain and suffering for her dying mother. She needed to take a loud stand (against an “authority” figure) and she did. When women come into our sovereign power (which means a woman who is the sole authority to herself), we are sometimes called “bitches”. We are told we have “attitudes”. This is an unfortunate, but natural, consequence. The people who were accustomed to us being quiet, passive, non-resistant and non-confrontational don’t like the new energy we are embodying. They are threatened by our power and by their own loss of control over us. We are no longer malleable to their purposes and able to be used to their advantage. We have new boundaries and when someone crosses them, we speak up. When we embody the energies of the Divine Feminine it can be so extreme that we lose significant relationships and we may choose to leave other situations or jobs. Men don’t usually encounter this, since historically, they have been, for many years, the ones in command whose authority is not questioned. It is the men who question and challenge the establishment who are singled out and told not to rock the boat. The changes that occur are not to be feared, but welcomed. The changes mean that people who will not accept who and what we are, are leaving and people who DO accept who and what we are, are arriving. What could be more joyful than this? The Divine Mother, Great Mother, Goddess (or whatever you choose to call Her) is many things. She is both loving and fierce, healing and destroying, compassionate and angry. Her expression and form are whatever is appropriate to whatever the situation calls for. Her energies will transform our lives and the planet itself. As Her energy returns, the planet will once again come into balance. Patriarchal systems that no longer work will be replaced with fair and just systems that do work. The earth will be once again revered and healed. The return of the Divine Feminine reminds me of the story of Boudicca. She was an Inceni Queen during the time in which Britain was composed of celtic tribes. The Romans came along and wanted the land that she and her husband (the king) owned. The Romans killed her husband and decided to make a public spectacle out of her and her daughters by beating Boudicca and raping the daughters. Of course, this was obviously and blatantly unjust (to put it mildly) and Boudicca was angry. She amassed a great army and went on a rampage against the Romans. She did much damage to their forces and killed many of their men. In the end, she didn’t win, she was captured and the story goes that she and her daughters took their own lives rather than face the torture and ultimate death that they faced at the hands of the Romans. Boudicca is a powerful example of female power when faced with injustice. Although her story did not have a happy ending, she acted rather than passively sit by and watch the violations take place. The priestesses of old were considered to be physical embodiments of the Great Mother. They were powerful, strong women who were greatly respected by their communities. They also displayed the gamut of aspects from supremely nurturing to displaying warrior strengths. So many teachings tell us to send love to whatever the situation is. Love is transformative but there also comes the time to speak out and act. We can speak and act loudly and still come from a place of love and light. Even Jesus displayed righteous anger when he overturned the tables of the money changers outside of the temple. We can also see examples of this in nature. Animals that are docile and nurturing become fierce and attack when their young are threatened. The return of the Divine Feminine isn’t a license for anyone to become angry, confrontational and bitter but it is a force that encourages us to be true to ourselves and to protect and nurture what is ours, including our environment and our planet. It is the force that allows us to take back our power and create the life that we dream of. It is a force that liberates and empowers. The Divine Feminine is a sublime, unimaginable loving and nurturing force but it is also stern and firm, much like a mother of a way-ward teenager. Women, and men too, let us open to this power, let it embrace us, carry us and empower us. It is inside of us. We have suppressed it for ages and now it is time for its reemergence. It is a time of balance as we enter the new millennium and create the new earth. As an afterthought, I was watching the movie “Avatar” again (for the 3rd time) a few days after I wrote this and there was a line in the movie that stood out for me because it echoed what I had previously written here. “Ewah (the Great Mother~Divine Feminine) does not take sides, but She only protects the BALANCE of life.”….How very, very appropriate. MAY 10, 2011 (Lessons from the Goddess) The past few weeks have brought to me a very dramatic lesson about being authentic to yourself and following your own path, following what your own heart tells you is right. I wrote a blog a few weeks ago about focusing on the good in order to manifest good in your life. Well, everyone loved what I had written (you can find it further down on this page) except for one man. This man verbally attacked what I had written and attacked me as well. His premise was that he did not agree with me and therefore I was full of “crap”…and much more….but no need to go into all that here. Long story short, he was so rude not only to me, but to my friends as well, that I had to delete and block him from facebook. So this incident made me ponder and question myself. I asked myself, Do I live in a false reality because I choose to focus on the positive? Should I be more focused on the things that are wrong in an attempt to fix them? I didn’t think so, but the man’s attack on me made me wonder. Next, fast forward a few weeks. I was at work one day and very frustrated by a client who did not show up for his massage session. So I posted a harmless little vent on facebook about how some people are very inconsiderate. Well, all of my friends were encouraging, telling me to shake it off, not to worry about it. Everyone was upbeat except for one friend. He disagreed. Then he got into an argument with my friends. Hmmmm, same scenario again, except for two major differences. This man wasn’t as rude as the last one (to his credit) AND this man was a good friend of 9 years. Both men who had the disagreements with me were/are “spiritual teachers”. So, to make a long story very, very short: this man unfriended me from facebook and then wrote me a long email telling me that (here we go again!) my life, my word, my consciousness and my facebook page are trash and “crap” (hey, there’s that word again!) He also let me know that he wasted 9 years being my friend because he THOUGHT I’d be a great spiritual teacher (apparently, I have failed).(And lots of other icky stuff that I won’t share here.) Again, just like the first time, it made me start to question myself. Am I too negative? Is my life and my consciousness crap? I didn’t think so, but the man’s attack on me made me wonder. Then it hit me!! The first man had a violently vocal reaction because he said I was too POSITIVE. The second man attacked me because he said I was too NEGATIVE. So which is it? What is up with that? Hmmmmm. Interesting observation, eh?? And how in the world would one go about fixing this kind of problem? (That’s a little sarcasm there, in case you missed it.) I have been thinking about this spiritual path of ascension and being a bearer of light and a teacher. What it boiled down to for me was this: We must follow our hearts and be true to ourselves. There is no “right” or “wrong” way. All paths lead to the same destination. As teachers of light or just spiritual people, I believe it is our responsibility to honor the path of others. We certainly don’t have to follow their teachings or even be in agreement with them but I don’t think a spiritual person or a teacher of light/love calls another person or their thoughts or feelings “crap” just because they don’t agree. As far as I am concerned, when a person acts this way, they aren’t a good demonstration at all of what they are preaching, which is patience, love and tolerance. I do consider myself a spiritual teacher, I am also a metaphysical minister, a Priestess of the Goddess (Divine Feminine) and a healer. This does not mean that I have proclaimed myself to be perfect. I am a spiritual being having a human experience. What this means is, that like anyone, sometimes I have a bad day and I want to talk about it with friends. Sometimes I have great days and I want to share that with friends as well. Believe it or not sometimes I cuss and I like to have a beer and go out dancing. I am REAL. I am myself. I am there for those who need me. I also love myself and therefore I have boundaries. Some “spiritual” people seem to think that by having boundaries, you somehow aren’t spiritual anymore. They seem to believe that you should be sweet and gentle all the time. Well, I tried that (and it’s kind of my nature to be that way anyway) and what I discovered was that there will be people who will walk on you just because they can. However, when you truly love yourself, you don’t let people walk on you anymore. The second man who attacked my character told me I had an attitude. Well, if expressing what you are feeling means you have an attitude, then damn right I have an attitude! The days are gone of me being the gentle sheep; blindly smiling sweetly and agreeing to what everyone else thinks I should be, what I should do and how I should act. The funny thing about this whole thing is that I was attacked twice in a number of weeks and it was because one person said I was too POSITIVE and the other said I was too NEGATIVE. Both people made very ugly comments about my character. (I don’t appreciate being told anything about me is “crap”.) So, I have to chuckle now that everything is said and done because the Goddess has the most delightful ways of making Her message clear. You can’t help but notice that both men even used the same choice of a word: crap. The Goddess has a great sense of humor. The message here was: BE YOURSELF AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART. You know who and what you are. You need NO external validation about yourself. BE REAL. There is another message here in the first one: You will never please everyone all the time. It reminds me of the “Garden Party” song “You can’t please everyone…so you have to please yourself.” It took two big, dramatic, upsetting incidents for me to “get it”. FOLLOW YOUR OWN HEART. Don’t place so much emphasis on outer teachers and teachings and certainly have no expectations about them. Lots of people on the path have made it their job to be judge and jury. This is their path and it is what it is, but I won’t be on the receiving end of it. Don’t be afraid to walk YOUR path, speak your truth, be real, do what gives you joy. Be true to yourself. Realize that you can’t make everyone happy all the time. The dramas that people present to you are just their own perception and really has nothing to do with you at all….because how can one person be both too positive and too negative at the same time…that is FUNNY….as my experience showed me. The Universe is speaking, are you listening? April 20, 2011 Names (except my own) have been deleted to protect identity. I wrote a post about lightworkers getting back on track and posted it on facebook and also posted it below. It was about how our focus creates our reality. I just re-posted it. It generated 90 responses and then a continued argument to my message box, from one person, which basically continued to say that I was full of BS and implied that my mental and physical cababilities are not what they should be. This is my response. I thought I'd make it public since so many of you were involved in the original conversation and a few of you were also insulted in the conversation that ensued. For that, I apologize, I never intend for my friends to be insulted by anyone just because they expressed their opinions. And while I don't use this blog as a forum for this kind of thing, I felt this was important because it speaks to us not judging and accepting other opinions and ways of life. I was attacked and ridiculed for expressing mine ~Kathy If you have the Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle (who I will guess, in your opinion is yet another fraud), read pages 64-65 under the heading "Freedom from Unhappiness". I am glad that you are the expert and soooooo on the path and other's opinions are wrong. What the hell happened to not judging? Your ego is mighty, mighty big. MIGHTY BIG. I am also happy that you are so wise that you feel fit to judge me as to my phyiscal and mental state and clarity. How dare you? How dare you judge me. Especially from the other side of the country, having never met me in person. We are most obviously not on the same page and frankly, it is draining my energy to engage in these confrontations with you. As as for being from the soul family, no, I don't think so. What I'm "tired" of is people like you who thrive on drama and confrontation. I do not agree with you and since you are not "rude"....hey, I'm not either, and I think YOU are clearly NOT understanding how the creative process works. Try studying some of the ancient teachings. I'm not sure where you have gotten your teachings that promote ego, judgement and the "your way is the only way". I find your attitude angry and hateful. "Whether your thoughts and emotions about this situation (the world) are justified or not makes no difference. The fact is that you are resisting what is. You are making the present moment into an enemy. You are creating unhappiness, conflict between the inner and the outer. Your unhappiness is polluting not only your own inner being and those around you but also the collective human psyche of which you are an inseparable part. The pollution of the planet is only an outward reflection of an inner psychic pollution: millions of unconcious individuals not taking responsibility for thier inner space. Either stop what you are doing, speak to the person and express fully what you feel or drop the negativity.....negativity serves no purpose except to strengthen a false sense of self. ...Negativity is never the optimum way of dealing with any situation. In fact, in most cases it keeps you stuck in it, blocking any REAL change. Anything done in negative energy will become contaminated by it and in time give rise to more pain, more unhappiness. Are you polluting the world or cleaning up the mess? You are responsible for your inner space, nobody else is. As within, so without: If humans clear inner pollution, they will also cease to create outer pollution." ~Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now You are clearly an angry man. You think of yourself as a "warrior" but you are full of anger and hate. It emantes from you. You speak words that alternate between being loving and being disrespectful and rude. What is that? You are also full of ego, thinking it your birthright to judge others and condemn thier opinions because you merely disagree. This isn't about creating a new world. This isn't going to be how it comes about. The Christians for all of thier history have been angry and judgemental to the point of prosecuting others who didn't (and don't) think like they do. You blast me for an article that you don't agree with and tell me it's bullshit. Come on, man. You are fooling yourself. This isn't about love and compassion, it's about ego and pride and judgement. And you think your "knowledge" and practice is superior to mine. No, man, it isn't. We are equals. You are actually an example of the patriarchy that got this world where we are today......."your way is the only way...the right way.....and just bash anyone who disagrees.....call them stupid, call them bullshit...show no respect whatsoever...." What the hell is that, man? When I disagree with someone, I don't find the necessity to bash them and tell them a miriad of times that they are full of nonsense. I say it once, "I disagree"..then I drop it. You have persisted in arguing with me. Why? Anyone whom I disagree with is entitled to their opinion and they are entitled to share it with whomever they wish. Regardless of the opinion, we are still free to share it, have you noticed that? Your approach TOTALLY turns me off. I don't believe you are who you say you are. Sorry, man. I wouldn't ordinarily push this much but you seem to want to keep pushing me so you are getting my answer. Your actions and your words are pretty LOUD. Please don't continue to email me. We are at an impasse and we won't come to an agreement. I don't tolerate disrespect from anyone. I don't deserve to be your door mat and listen to your insults just because you disagree with me. This isn't the correct way to treat people. And, please, please, it isn't necessary for you to pray for me. Oh and about another fb celebrity, I did not make "disparaging" remarks about her, EVER. If you recall CORRECTLY, I merely said, I did not agree with her. I challenge you to find anywhere where I have ever bashed her (or anyone!!) or called anyone's work bullshit. That's not the way I operate. To each their own. May the Great Mother Goddess bring you great illumination, Kathy Lee April 18, 2011 I was doing my meditations and affirmations this morning and suddenly it clicked and I understand what has been wrong in my situation…I have been focusing so much on external sources of information that I have allowed that to become my reality; the predictions of financial problems, health problems, world problems. In the past, when we had bad economic times, (yes, we had $4 gas before), I always just said, “No, this is not MY reality” and I continued to thrive with my work and made plenty of money. I have bought this idea of lack and scarcity by taking in way too much negative information; too much doom and gloom predictions and so called “facts”. And what you “buy” becomes yours…your reality. I just finished reading a book that re-emphasized that we ARE creators of our own reality. I really needed a strong reminder of this. Despite what is happening around us, we can choose not to participate in lack or scarcity. We can declare our own reality. We have tremendous power to create. This is what entering the 5-D and the new earth is all about….creating what we want, need and desire. Creating the new earth and new consciousness. The lightworkers are the way-showers. We are leading the others and showing them what is possible. When enough people understand this and become united in the thoughts, the shift will occur easily and effortlessly. So, to summarize, shut down the negative input. It is derailing you, BIG TIME. I can’t emphasize this enough. Tune into what is possible, what is good, and create your own reality. You don’t have to buy into the notions of lack and scarcity. We are the creators. We have tremendous power. Let’s not forget this (as I so recently have), let’s keep our vibrations high, stay united with Source, and be the CREATORS that we are. I have been criticized for only focusing on the “good” stuff…and living in a “bubble”…but this has been quite the eye opener……when I started to focus on the negative, my work stopped and all kinds of issues starting coming up. Apparently, focusing only on good and living in my “bubble” is what WORKS!! I took my eye what is possible and instead let the negative vibrations fill me. So, if you find that you have done the same thing somewhere along the way, shift back, take time to really remember and focus on the fact that you are creator of your reality. Take that statement and post it somewhere where you can see it often and then begin to fill your mind once again with things that are inspiring, uplifting, and happy. Do your affirmations/declarations of what you want/need/desire….and together we can be the Creators of the New Earth and create a smooth transition into it. And remember that by your word and by your will….as you will it….so must it be. And so it is. Namaste, Kathy Lee 4/18/11 March 22, 2011 A call to the Warrior Visionaries ~~great video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12n4_q_FDhU&feature=autofb Remember who you are. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yukiH5V1HRE&feature=autofb March 18, 2011 I received a message from my guides this morning and what they said was this, “You are all so powerful but you have forgotten the power you inherently have within you.” I was shown to visualize the radiation being neutralized, rendered harmless. Then my guides reminded of how Jesus turned the water into wine. He turned one substance into a totally different substance. Jesus also told us that greater things than He did would we also be able to do. He taught us that He and the Father (the Source) are one and then we are later told that WE have the mind of Christ. This is but one example; there are many other enlightened beings and teachers who have taught us the same thing. So I encourage you to stop giving your power away to sources outside yourself and step into the role of the Divine Creator that you are. NOW is the time to really start drawing on our inner power and using it for the good of the planet and mankind. There are many of us who have talked for years about being powerful, but do we really believe it? When enough of us are united in this, we will change and heal the world. We have the ability to do it. ~Kathy Lee 3/18/11 Bombardment By Kathy Lee, LMT, Energy Healer, Massage Therapist I recently read an article about a man who felt he had wasted a good portion of his life listening to the “bs” of others. Now, although I can’t say I fully agreed with his approach to the subject, it did give me some very good food for thought. He did have some very good points about how we are filled with useless and destructive information. He wanted to be able to tell his friends to shut up if he didn’t think their ideas were good. Frankly, I don’t think this is the best approach if you want to keep your friends. But, what about other sources of information that we are continuously bombarded with from the time that we are born? How do these concepts shape us and “waste” our precious time, life and warp our consciousness? How do these messages condition us and actually end up shaping our lives if we don’t become aware of them? Take the news for instance. There is so much fear and misinformation presented there. What if you really listened and bought into all of it? The stress and despair would be overwhelming. Yet, many people do exactly this. They have their news fix several times a day. I gave up watching mainstream news 12 years ago. I am not misinformed, I still know what’s happening in the world but I am not inundated with daily horrible scenarios that instill the message “the world is a horrible place”. I refuse to live in fear and fill my mind with it. Give it up and focus instead on what you CAN do to make the world a better place. How about commercials? They tell us what we need to be healthy, happy, and beautiful according to the people that will profit (of course!) from us believing this. Women must have perfect faces, hair and bodies or we don’t “fit in” with societal standards and nobody will love us. Men mustn’t be bald and must have that extra close shave for that soft face that women love. We have to drive that snazzy car and have that designer fragrance and clothing. And of course, how can we forget the myriad of drugs that we are told that we need to feel happy and healthy? It’s all BS!! Do you know what these messages do to people? We can’t possibly live up to any of this, personally or financially. And even if we could, does it mean we are loved or any happier? No! These messages create a continual feeling of inadequacy and, again, constant stress. How about our obsession with the celebrities? Does any of it really, really matter? Do I care where Kim Kardashian bought her latest dress or who she is dating? I wish her the best, but I don’t care what she or any of them do. I recently read an article that where Cindy Crawford was quoted as saying, “I wish I looked like Cindy Crawford.” What she meant was that she doesn’t even look like herself after her photo images are altered. We can’t live up to these images….heck, the celebrities themselves can’t even live up to their own images. Yet, we fail to realize this and we get sucked in by the glamour. Just take a look at the magazine covers while you are in line at the market…...”Learn to make your man have the ultimate orgasm. Lose 10 pounds in 3 days. Bake a 10 course dinner in 30 minutes. How to have the abs that turn women on. Perfectly decorated houses”…….Come on….can we get real? There is also a valid point about people in your life who invalidate you. Sometimes our friends do come up with goofy things that we really don’t agree with. But the sharing of friendship is about compromise and listening to our friends thoughts. However, when it comes to people who constantly criticize you, invalidate your feelings, or in any way make you feel less than (by their comments and actions), it may be worthwhile to start limiting your exposure to them. We deserve to be surrounded by people who love us and build us up. Now I realize this is touchy but even some of our religions also give us a very negative conditioning. We are taught from a young age that we are, again, not good enough. We are taught to give away our power and deny our own innate Divinity. Basically, the messages we are bombarded with is that we are never, ever enough. We need something more than what we are in order to be complete. According to the society we live in it can be anything from better breath (a commercial is on right now) to a better car. THIS is what we are filling our minds with. I’d like to issue a challenge. Start tuning out all this stuff: the tv, radio, magazines, news that fill your mind with the BS that the open minded man was referring to. Instead, take the time to do something inspiring and life affirming. Read a good book, listen to good music, go to the park, play with your kids, talk with your friends, exercise,…….there’s a million other things that you can do to fill your mind with the positive and inspiring. You will feel better about yourself and about the world…and you will be doing your part to make this world a better, more peaceful place. Vibrations carry and affect everyone and everything around us. When we fill our minds with peaceful, loving thoughts, we become peaceful, loving and accepting people. Our vibrations carry and other people around us feel it and it affects their vibration. As more and more of us become awakened and stop buying into the messages that society conditions us with, our vibration rises and in turn affects the whole planet. Like attracts like. So as we go through this process, we begin to attract desirable conditions, people and places effortlessly. It’s all good. So next time you have the temptation to give into fear or the conditioning that surrounds us, stop, and take back your power. Remember that you are enough, just as you are. There’s nothing you need to do or become in order to be whole. You are already perfect. You are a Divine being incarnate in a physical body. You are a powerful creator of your reality by your thoughts, focus and intention, so be aware of where you place this focus and what you allow to fill your mind.

There are huge changes taking place, we are in the shift of the ages, to be sure. It IS happening, I don't dispute that. But I have gotten so tired of all the "spiritual/metaphysical" teachers and people in the limelight focusing on destruction and catastrophe, so really, really tired of it. It's just become more drama, like FOX news. People love and thrive on drama. Drama is what sells! This 2012 stuff has actually become a big business. These "spiritual" people who are preaching fear, who should know better, are totally irresponsible. They are promoting themselves and their teachings and whatever products they promote, even if it's paid air time, while they are planting huge seeds of fear in many hearts. Even if the seeds of fear are not being planted (and I think they are), they are shifting the focus of mass consciousness onto catastrophe and destruction. Anyone who has any inkling of spirituality and metaphysics knows that we focus on is what expands. Mother Theresa once said that she would attend a pro-peace rally but would never attend an anti-war protest. She understood that what you feed your energy into is what grows; even if you are "protesting" something that you don't want. Like I said, I don't dispute that we are IN the shift of the ages. As a teacher and healer myself, I find that on a daily basis, I am helping people learn to cope with the changes taking place...and they are taking place at a dizzying pace, it seems. However, the Mayan calender, for one, has never predicted the physical end of the world. They actually predict a huge leap in human consciousness into a higher realm; a new world; one of peace and love. The Mayan elders have actually expressed outrage at the twisted interpretation that Westerners have given their prophecies and teachings. We have to understand our huge capacity to create. Quantum physics have proven that WHAT we focus on and HOW we focus greatly affects and CHANGES what we focus on. This is proven scientific FACT. Did you hear that? I'll say it again: just your focus has the power to create change. Let's take a moment to stop and ask what we would like to see take place? Catastrophe, war, famine, destruction? Or a graceful and easy glide into a realm of higher consciousness where peace and love reign? I challenge the teachers and those in the metaphysical and spiritual public eye to take a stand and be more responsible with what they are teaching. Promoting fear is just another way of taking the power from the people, yet again. Promoting fear is about control and manipulation of the minds that are vulnerable. Please. Seriously. The people that are doing this are really starting to get to me. They call it "spirituality", they call it "truth" but in all honesty, it is fear-mongering. They are as guilty as the mainstream media. True spirituality and truth consist of love, peace, and well being. There is no fear in the heart of the God/Goddess/Source/Universe/All-That-Is. Instead of feeding into this fear based thinking why don't we remember that we are POWERFUL? We are CREATORS of our reality. The time has come to focus on love; not fear. Focus on peace; not catastrophe. Focus on the beauty around you; not on impending doom and gloom. Take the time to look for and experience joy and beauty today. You have been given a gift of great power which is your focus, attention and intention, use it wisely. And, as an afterthought, if I have ever been guilty of promoting fear in anyone's mind, I would apologize from the depths of my heart. As I scroll down and read my previous posts, I see that they are empowering. I can't emphasize enough now (and in the past blogs!) that we are Divine, we are creators, we are powerful. We can create the life and the world that we desire. We can heal. I see that I have never deviated from this theme and line of thought. I have studied for many, many years and I know that fear is not the way. Fear IS destruction. It is time to take a stand. Flow your energy into what you want to create, NOT into what you don't want. Don't participate in or promote the fear based teachings.Give the people back their power, take back your own power and CREATE from a place of love and peace. Once again I will say this, you have been given a gift of power, which is your focus, attention and intention.....and, may I add, your WORD. Use it wisely. Namaste, (which means, "The Divininty within me, recognizes and honors the Divinity within you!)
~Kathy Lee 3/6/11 Please feel free to copy and share this, giving the author credit and including my website. Feb. 11, 2011 Greetings, all. It's been a wild ride over the past few weeks. We have had wave after wave of energies coming at us. We've had lots of solar flare activity. For those who are sensitive, it can feel uncomfortable as we try to integrate these new frequencies into our bodies and our psyches. It's nowhere near over yet, March 9 begins the next wave on the Mayan calender, ( which will be 20 times faster than the last cycle) more intensity coming our way! And then there's the equinox on March 21. Hold on tight!! It's been interesting to observe what has been taking place. Many people have been leaving us. In my circle of family and friends alone, there have been 10 deaths since Sept. Many souls are choosing to leave now rather than stay and participate in the changes, perhaps their work is elsewhere. You may also notice friendships and people (and situations) leaving your life as well. This is because the things that no longer vibrate with us are falling away, and yet at the same time, we are attracting new people and situations that do resonate with our frequency. Many of these things can cause feelings of grief as we let go of the old. This is normal human nature, saying 'goodbye' is sad. It's important to remember that it is all part of the Divine plan and flow of the changing of consciousness on our planet. The more you surrender to the Divine flow the easier it will be. Holding on for dear life just results in more pain and stress. It's easier to float downstream than to struggle against the tide and swim upstream. Know that you are being guided to exactly where you need to be. It is extremely helpful to invoke your spiritual guides and angels and ask them to assist you with the changes taking place in your life and around you. Ask them to help you acclimate to the new higher vibrations coming into your body. Remember, they are always there but they won't violate your free will; so you have to ASK them. Give thanks for their help and acknowledge their presence in your life. I have noticed many days lately where I feel edgy and irritable and I notice it with my family, friends and clients (especially noticable in people who are normally very mellow), this is the result of the increases in energy coming our way. Solar flares are especially notorious for causing the feelings of edginess and anxiety. Spending time meditating, being quiet, and in nature will help you balance. Also physical exercise will help the move the energies through you. Grounding is also an important tool for staying balanced. Many of us are still noticing our buttons being pushed and our triggers being activated. As annoying (an understatement!!) as it feels at the time, it is a good thing. If you are able to become AWARE of this and observe it without judgement, you can release the old issues that are lying beneath the surface and let them go, once and for all. We are clearing out the old to make room for the new and as uncomfortable (and crazy) as it feels at times, it is such a good thing in the grand scheme of things. Another thing many of us are experiencing is memory loss and spaciness. This can be frightening as it occurs. It feels like the begining of a brain disease or Alzheimers. It isn't. It's what occurs as we are opening into other dimensions and expanding our perceptions, which for many of us have been very limited up until now. You may also notice that you start to be able to see or hear things that are on the other side of the veil. I recently had a very symbolic dream and what it said to me was that the veil is open and we can have access to both sides now, we can travel back and forth between this world and other dimensions very freely. It is an exciting time to be alive. I will admit, sometimes it isn't easy and I wish the process could be a bit easier. Some days I wish the process was over already. But on the other hand, some days are pure bliss and love and we get a glimpse of the joy that is to come. Other days make you want to crawl out of your skin with the irritation of it all. It's a rollercoaster, for sure. It's been especially hard for sensitive people. It helps to maintain your sense of humor and keep the proper perspective about it all. Take time out when you need it. Just remember to accept the process, embrace it all without judgment and know that we are all in this together as we ascend in consciousness and enter this new age of Aquarius. We are moving toward a world that we've only dreamed of in the past; a world where love reigns, where respect and reverence for each other and the planet is the norm, and where we will all live together in peace as the Divine creators that we are. Namaste, my dear friends, Kathy January 24, 2011 Whew, it's been August since the last time I made a post here. I think it's time to start writing again and share some of the insight I have gained in the past year. It's been a really wild ride! 2010 was a very intense year to say the least. I'm glad it's over....Happy New Year! I'm not sure this year will be any less intense, especially if you haven't been working on yourself. It's such an on-going work in progress. We are rapidly approaching 2012 and the shift of the ages is upon us. Right now, every possible issue that we have suppressed and/or not dealt with (same thing?) is coming up to be confronted it. This can be anything from financial fears to relationship issues to personal self issues that you've carried with you your entire life and possibly in past life times. It makes it a little easier (perhaps?) when we are being bombarded to remember that this is all for our personal growth, evolution and ascension. When we feel our buttons being pushed (and yes, this is what it feels like when our issues are triggered~~strong reactions...sometimes, very inappropriately strong reactions to minor situations) we can know our issues are coming up to be dealt with, felt and released so that we are ready to move on to the next level. We are not alone in this process. Every one of us is dealing with purging and clearing of what no longer serves us. Even Mother Earth is doing some purging of her own. We are all one, and all in this together. So, how to deal with it? The most important thing is to realize and be aware that the issue is there. ALLOW it to be there, feel it, observe it, but don't identify with it. It is not "you". You are the eternal consciousness, the all-knowing, ever-centered Spirit. You are not the thought, the feeling or the issue that is arising. Sometimes we become aware of a deeply held belief that is manifesting as our issue. Just being aware of it and exposing it to the light of our consciousness is all we need to do to dissolve it. Allow yourself to enter into the what is sometimes called the Witness Consciousness.....where you understand that you are not your mind, but you are the consciousness, the Witness, that watches, without judgement and without reaciton as things arise in your life and in your mind. And breathe, breathe, breathe. BREATHE and relax. No, I'm not going to tell you it's an easy process. It's not. Sometimes the intensity of it makes us feel kinda nutsy and on the other hand, some days are just bliss. This is all part of the shifting that is taking place. But think of the liberation, the joy, the freedom, the bliss when you can start to get past your triggers and live from your heart and express your truth without fear. All of the discomfort of the shifting will certainly be worth every minute that we have suffered thru it! Have faith in the Universe/God/Goddess/All That Is that all is exactly as it should be. All will be well. You are a beautiful being of light. Let that light radiate out as you love yourself (yes!!) and others. You are enough and you are perfect just as you are. Everything you need, you can find by going within. You have a direct link with Spirit, you ARE Spirit, you and your Higher (God/dess) Self are one. There is no separation. Until next time, (and it won't be months before my next blog!), Namaste, Kathy August 16, 2010 August 13, 2010... What's going on astrologically. This is an excellent article to help you understand. August 13, 2010 ~~Article by Mayan elder on 2012 THE WORLD WILL NOT END IN 2012
By Carlos Barrios
Carlos Barrios was born into a Spanish family on El Altiplano, the highlands of . His home was in Huehue tenango, also the dwelling place of the Maya Mam tribe. With other Maya and other indigenous tradition keepers, the Mam carry part of the old ways on Turtle Island ( North America ).
They are keepers of time, authorities on remarkable calendars that are ancient, elegant and relevant. Mr. Barrios is a historian, an anthropologist and investigator. After studying with traditional elders for 25 years since the age of 19, he has also became a Mayan Ajq'ij, a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide, Eagle Clan.
Years ago, along with his brother, Gerardo, Carlos initiated an investigation into the different Mayan calendars. He studied with many teachers. He says his brother Gerardo interviewed nearly 600 traditional Mayan elders to widen their scope of knowledge.
"Anthropologists visit the temple sites," Mr. Barrios says, "and read the inscriptions and make up stories about the Maya, but they do not read the signs correctly. It's just their imagination... Other people write about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They say that the world will end in December 2012. The Mayan elders are angry with this. The world will not end. It will be transformed. The indigenous have the calendars, and know how to accurately interpret it, not others.
The Mayan Calendars comprehension of time, seasons, and cycles has proven itself to be vast and sophisticated. The Maya understand 17 different calendars, some of them charting time accurately over a span of more than ten million years. The calendar that has steadily drawn global attention since 1987 is called the Tzolk'in or Cholq'ij.
Devised ages ago and based on the cycle of the Pleiades, it is still held as sacred. With the indigenous calendars, native people have kept track of important turning points in history.
For example, the day keepers who study the calendars identified an important day in the year One Reed, Ce Acatal, as it was called by the Mayans. That was the day when an important ancestor was prophesied to return, "coming like a butterfly." In the western calendar, the One Reed date correlates to Easter Sunday, April 21, 1519 the day that Hernando Cortez and his fleet of 11 Spanish galleons arrived from the East at what is today called Vera Cruz, .
When the Spanish ships came toward shore, native people were waiting and watching to see how it would go. The billowing sails of the ships did indeed remind the scouts of butterflies skimming the ocean surface. In this manner was a new era initiated, an era they had anticipated through their calendars. The Maya termed the new era the Nine Bolomtikus, or nine Hells of 52 years each. As the nine cycles unfolded, land and freedom were taken from the native people. Disease and disrespect dominated.
What began with the arrival of Cortez, lasted until August 16, 1987 - a date many people recall as Harmonic Convergence. Millions of people took advantage of that date to make ceremony in sacred sites, praying for a smooth transition to a new era, the World of the Fifth Sun."
From that 1987 date until now, Mr. Barrios says, "We have been in a time when the right arm of the materialistic world is disappearing, slowly but inexorably. We are at the cusp of the era when peace begins, and people live in harmony with Mother Earth. We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, but we are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This is the time in-between, the time of transition. As we pass through transition there is a colossal, global convergence of environmental destruction, social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth changes."
All this, Mr .Barrios says, was foreseen via the simple, spiral mathematics of the Mayan calendars. "It will change," Mr. Barrios observes. "Everything will change." He said Mayan day keepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun. "It will be the start of a new era resulting from and signified by the solar meridian crossing the galactic equator, and the earth aligning itself with the center of the galaxy.
At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years, the Sun rises to conjunct the intersection of the Milky Way and the plane of the ecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be an embodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life, a tree remembered in all the world's spiritual traditions."
Some observers say this alignment with the heart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel for cosmic energy to flow through the earth, cleansing it and all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higher level of vibration.
This process has already begun, Mr. Barrios suggested. "Change is accelerating now, and it will continue to accelerate." If the people of the earth can get to this 2012 date in good shape, without having destroyed too much of the Earth, Mr. Barrios said, "We will rise to a new, higher level. But to get there we must transform enormously powerful forces that seek to block the way."
A Picture of the Road Ahead:
From his understanding of the Mayan tradition and the calendars, Mr. Barrios offered a picture of where we are at and what may lie on the road ahead. The date specified in the calendar Winter Solstice in the year 2012 does not mark the end of the world. Many outside people writing about the Mayan calendar sensationalize this date, but they do not know. The ones who know are the indigenous elders who are entrusted with keeping the tradition.
"Humanity will continue," he contends, "but in a different way. Material structures will change. From this we will have the opportunity to be more human. We are living in the most important era of the Mayan calendars and prophecies. All the prophecies of the world, all the traditions, are converging now. There is no time for games. The spiritual ideal of this era is action. Many powerful souls have reincarnated in this era, with a lot of power. This is true on both sides, the light and the dark.
....
A Call for Fusion:
As he met with audiences in Santa Fe, Mr. Barrios told a story about the most recent Mayan New Year ceremonies in . He said that one respected elder, who lives all year in a solitary mountain cave, journeyed to Chichicastenango to speak with the people at the ceremony. The elder delivered a simple, direct message. He called for human beings to come together in support of life and light. Right now each person and group is going his or her own way. The elder of the mountains said there is hope if the people of the light can come together and unite in some way.
Reflecting on this, Mr. Barrios explained: "We live in a world of polarity: day and night, man and woman, positive and negative. Light and darkness need each other. They are a balance. Just now the dark side is very strong, and very clear about what they want. They have their vision and their priorities clearly held, and also their hierarchy. They are working in many ways so that we will be unable to connect with the spiral Fifth World in 2012.
On the light side everyone thinks they are the most important, that their own understandings, or their group's understandings, are the key. There's a diversity of cultures and opinions, so there is competition, diffusion, and no single focus."
As Mr. Barrios sees it, "The dark side works to block fusion through denial and materialism. It also works to destroy those who are working with the light to get the Earth to a higher level. They like the energy of the old, declining Fourth World , the materialism. They do not want it to change. They do not want fusion. They want to stay at this level, and are afraid of the next level. The dark power of the declining Fourth World cannot be destroyed or overpowered. It's too strong and clear for that, and that is the wrong strategy. The dark can only be transformed when confronted with simplicity and open-heartedness. This is what leads to fusion, a key concept for the World of the Fifth Sun."
Mr. Barrios said the emerging era of the Fifth Sun will call attention to a much-overlooked element. Whereas the four traditional elements of earth, air, fire and water have dominated various epochs in the past, there will be a fifth element to reckon with in the time of the Fifth Sun: ether. The dictionary defines ether as the rarefied element of the Heavens. Ether is a medium. It permeates all space and transmits waves of energy in a wide range of frequencies, from cell phones to human auras.
What is "ethereal" is related to the regions beyond earth: the Heavens. Ether, the element of the Fifth Sun, is celestial and lacking in material substance, but is no less real than wood, stone or flesh. "Within the context of ether there can be a fusion of the polarities," Mr .Barrios said. "No more darkness or light in the people, but an uplifted fusion.
But right now the realm of darkness is not interested in this. They are organized to block it. They seek to unbalance the Earth and its environment so we will be unready for the alignment in 2012. We need to work together for peace, and balance with the other side. We need to take care of the Earth that feeds and shelters us. We need to put our entire mind and heart into pursuing unity and fusion now, to confront the other side and preserve life, to be ready for this Moment in History."
Mr. Barrios told his audiences in Santa Fe that we are at a critical moment of world history. "We are disturbed," he said. "We can't play anymore. Our planet can be renewed or ravaged. Now is the time to awaken and take action. Everyone is needed. You are not here for no reason. Everyone who is here now has an important purpose. This is a hard, but special time. We have the opportunity for growth, but we must be ready for this moment in history."
Mr. Barrios offered a number of suggestions to help people walk in balance through the years ahead. "The prophesied changes are going to happen," he said "but our attitude and actions determine how harsh or mild they are. We need to act, to make changes, and to elect people to represent us who understand and who will take political action to respect the earth. Meditation and spiritual practice are good, but also action. It's very important to be clear about who you are, and also about your relation to the Earth.
Develop yourself according to your own tradition and the call of your heart. But remember to respect differences, and strive for unity. Eat wisely. A lot of food is corrupt in either subtle or gross ways. Pay attention to what you are taking into your body. Learn to preserve food, and to conserve energy. Learn some good breathing techniques, so you have the mastery of your breath. Be clear. Follow a tradition with great roots. It is not important what tradition, your heart will tell you, but it must have great roots. We live in a world of energy. An important task at this time is to learn to sense or see the energy of everyone and everything: people, plants, animals.
This becomes increasingly important as we draw close to the World of the Fifth Sun, for it is associated with the element ether - the realm where energy lives and weaves. Go to the sacred places of the earth to pray for peace, and have respect for the Earth which gives us our food, clothing, and shelter. We need to reactivate the energy of these sacred places. That is our work.
One simple but effective prayer technique is to light a white or baby-blue colored candle. Think a moment in peace. Speak your intention to the flame and send the light of it on to the leaders who have the power to make war or peace. We Have Work To Do."
According to Mr. Barrios this is a crucially important moment for humanity, and for earth. Each person is important. If you have incarnated into this era, you have spiritual work to do balancing the planet. He said the elders have opened the doors so that other races can come to the Mayan world to receive the tradition. The Maya have long appreciated and respected that there are other colors, other races, and other spiritual systems.
"They know," he said, "that the destiny of the Mayan world is related to the destiny of the whole world. The greatest wisdom is in simplicity," ... . "Love, respect, tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It's not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It's encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find your heart, and you will find your way."

Great Opportunities Abound this Summer for Awakening and Healing!
This summer (mid-June to mid-August) the Star Elders say that there will be dynamic change and awakening. Many astrologers share that the next couple of years are going to be unpredictable as planetary alignments intensify as we near the Mayan calendar end date. When that exact date is, no one really knows, but there is a lot of speculation all which may or may not be true. The Star Elders have shared for years that this calendar re-booting will come about not so much from a date on the calendar, but more about the level of consciousness which humanity has risen up to. This summer's cosmic and planetary events have great potential for humanity to awaken and heal.
Within the next three months (this summer), we will see unstable accelerations in our physical and spiritual worlds. Humanity needs to release a deep heart awareness that has been stored for eons. This could be activated by the upcoming planetary alignments and global celebrations that are planned for this summer. The volatile energies will be lessened when we use our light and energy for service and raising the collective consciousness regarding the unity and oneness of all life.
All life in this dimension is under a tremendous burden to change and transform. We can see shifts in ecological, economic and social predicaments occurring already. We all feel this pressure. We are receiving strong messages now to where we need to be � or not be. Mother Earth is speaking and encouraging us to listen. It is important that we do not cling to old plans or habits out of fear. It is our time to lead with our hearts.
Maya calendar dates that fall from July 23rd through August 26th are also going to prove to be very powerful, especially August 17th through August 26th. The Solstices (and equinoxes) are four of the most powerful days of the year to work with collectively. The ancients have known that these days hold powerful healing energy, and these days were used to bring deep healing and awakening to humanity. By participating in ceremony within the power of the solstice, you have a chance to gather this energy, manifest our dreams, and heal our world.
What will begin with this coming solstice (June 21st) will be felt for years to come. We will be compelled to be of service and begin to manifest our dreams. The days ahead are laced with great potential and wisdom necessary to awaken and shift human consciousness and manifest a new world. We must find crucial and indispensable courage laced with humbleness that will enable us to walk forward and create a new world that is based in love, compassion and oneness
The Full Moon and Partial Lunar Eclipse on June 26, there is a grand cross alignment that occurs. This grand cross can be a very optimistic sign, and many call it a birth of a new Spirit that will uplift our energy, and open our hearts. If we look back, we can remember the grand cross of 1999, and it was life changing for me in a positive way.
This summer (mid-June through mid-August) is going to be an intense time of worldwide dramatic change laced with endings of things no longer needed, and the birth of new beginnings. As an old teacher once said to me . . . � The only way out is through.� The Star Elder say that the way through will be made easier if we cooperate with one another, let go of our attachments to who is right or wrong, and allow the days to simple unfold.
____________________________________
In honor of all persepctives and paths..... All the dates below have great potential to have a tangible power and great activation for humanity, . . . because we place our attentions on them. It is simple as that! Where our consciousness goes, that is where the power will be. If we join together to create unity and harmony in the world, we can, as a collective group, help awaken and unify the world.

- Jack Kerouac June 2, 2010 Wed. The spiritual discussion group last night was fantastic. I so enjoy spending time with those on the path and those seeking to learn. This is what we discussed. It is applicable to all of us right now. Blessings of love and light, Kathy CHANGING TIMES~URANUS in ARIES On May 27, 2010 we experienced a huge astrological occurrence. For the first time in 84 years, Uranus moved into the sign of Aries, after spending the past 7 years in Pisces. It will stay in Aries until August 13, when it will slip back into Pisces until March of ‘11, where it will stay for 7 years. What does this mean for us? Uranus is the awakener. We are awakening to who we really are. We are Divine, spiritual beings having a human experience on the planet earth. Uranus brings change into our lives that is intended to accelerate our growth and our expansion of consciousness. Uranus demands growth. Uranus asks us to give up our limited beliefs and unconscious patterns that hold us back and limit us. Uranus not only “asks” us to give up our limitations but it demands that we do so that we can create a better future for ourselves. Uranus can be a kick in the pants from the Universe, giving us that gentle, or not so gentle, nudge in the direction we need to go. If we go with the changes and are open to new possibilities, it heralds the arrival of an amazing time of high energy, growth and expansion. On the other hand, if we resist or fear change, as it is human nature to do, we will find ourselves uncomfortable and out of the loop. What can we do? What are we feeling? Be flexible with the changes. What can first seem like a tragedy (ending a relationship, losing a job) can be a the start of something wonderful! Maintain a positive perspective. This can be exciting and exhilarating and it can also be scary and overwhelming. If you find it is overwhelming, slow down. Check your perspective. Trust, trust, trust the Universe that you are being led to a new and wonderful place. Ask for help from your guides and angels. We have lots of energy, insight, ideas, creativity, inspiration. Exciting new things are manifesting for us all over. On the other hand, we can feel mentally overwhelmed, worried, anxious fearful and scattered. Focus on one thing at a time and stay grounded. Trust, trust, trust the Universe that you are being led to a new and wonderful place. Ask for help from your guides and angels. We can be open to new possibilities but frustrated that things aren’t happening faster. Do things differently, adopt a new perspective, practice patience and trust that everything is moving according to Divine timing. June 1, 2010 Tuesday Uranus moved into Aries for the first time in 84 years. Uranus is the Great Awakener. Uranus causes things to change....in order for us to awaken. Interesting because it moved into Aries on the 27th of May...and look what my last post was about (on May 27th)...."Changes".......I didn't know astrologically what was happening at the time! Changes are good, they cause us to grow, but they don't always feel fun in the process. This is where trust and focus come into play. We have to trust that the Universe is moving us to exactly where we need to be. The things that are leaving us no longer serve us and their removal is opening the space for new things to come in that better serve us. It's also the time to stay focused. Focus on the Divine Being that you are and your power to manifest the life that you desire. Anything is possible. Our only limits are our own beliefs. One way to maintain your focus is to fill your mind with positive thought on a daily basis. Read or listen to positive CDs. I just recently discovered an old new thought author named Neville Goddard. I read many quotes from his books and loved them, so I just ordered two of his books. I love reading things that keep me focused and remembering the power that resides within us all. It is there, all we have to do is remember and tap into it. Many of us are being guided to follow our own intuition and follow our hearts. The energies are making us much more intuitive and in touch with our Divine/Higher selves. We need to trust what we feel, what we desire and what we intuit. We are being Divinely guided to where we need to be. As I write this, I am also being reminded that life is indeed a journey. It isn't all about just arriving where we'd like to be, but it is about making each moment count and finding the joys along the way even when the journey seems a bit uncomfortable or difficult....and of course, seeing the lessons along the way.....we are growing constantly....to stop growing is to stagnate. So, along with me, I ask you to rejoice today even if your journey is difficult or stressful or frustrating at the moment. Hold strong and focus on those things that make you feel good today, even if it is just the birdsong or a rainbow in the sky. Know that all is well. I would like to close with an Abraham quote today.... Everything that has ever been lived, everything that has ever been written down or documented, has been vibration first. Everything has been conjured in vibration first before it manifests. So if something has manifested and you continue to give it your attention, the fact that it is true should really hold no weight with you. The question that we would ask is not, is it true, or is it undeniable? The question that we would ask is, how does it make me feel when I focus upon it? And if the answer to the question is, it doesn't make me feel very good when I focus upon it, then we would say, true or not, it does not serve you. And if you will activate a different part of your vibration--the "truth" will shift. --- Abraham  Blessings,
Kathy May 27, 2010 Thursday ~Changes Last night I opened a book by Emmet Fox, ("Find and Use Your Inner Power") (1941) right to this page. I thought it was worth sharing. There are so very many changes happening right now with so many of us. Feel free to substitute the word "God" for whatever you are most comfortable with...Goddess, Universe, Spirit...... Life is Change: "I see the angel of God in every change. This is an affirmation that you should have written inside the cover of your pocketbook and also in some prominent place at home where you will often see it. It is one of the keys of a progressive and harmonious life. Especially in these critical times, it will stand out in your life like a lighthouse in a stormy sea. Change is the law of growth; and growth is the law of life. Without change there can be no growth, and without continual growth, life fades out of any form, leaving what we call death. There is no greater mistake than to be afraid of change, and yet many intelligent people dread it and cling to what is customary and familiar. To be afraid of change is to doubt the providence of God. It is an unintelligent fear of the unknown. If it were not for the blessing of change, men would still be primitive savages living in caves, and you yourself would still be a child mentally and physically, would you not? Welcome every change that comes into any phase of your life; insist that it is going to turn out for the better--and it will. See the Angel of God in it and that angel with make all things new." May 25, 2010 Wednesday Well, I understand some big solar flares are heading our way as I speak. I read they are supposed to reach us tomorrow. I think they are already here right now. The solar flares fill us with new energies of a higher frequency. We can experience this in different ways. Some of us get anxious and jittery. Sometimes we release old emotions. The new energy forces out the "old" and makes the space for the "new". This process isn't always easy or pleasant. We have to deal with stuff we'd rather just shut away and not think about. But if you let it arise and come to the surface, feel it, observe it, and then hold the intent to release it, it will be an easier process. I know I am feeling it myself today as I am packing my house and getting ready to move. Like many, many, many others, my own life is in transition right now as well, having ended a 4 year relationship and now moving to a new home (that I don't yet know where!). The Universe is really asking me to develop some trust and go with the flow and to let go of the past. Sometimes this is easy, other times it is not. All we can do in these times is honor what we feel, go with the flow, breathe, ground and try to stay centered. And know that this all will pass. Things that matter today may not matter in a month, a year, 5 years, 20 years....and if you really need to put it in perspective, will it matter in 100 years....NO!.....we will be gone from this lifetime by then! I did a spiritual discussion group and guided meditation last night. It was fantastic. It feels so good to connect with others who are on the same path. If you want information about it, click on my "classes" link on this site. Thinking of starting a second group. There is such a huge need for it right now. Someone posted this fantastic little video on facebook. It's a little girl doing her affirmations. It's fantastic. Something we all need to be doing! Worth watching!! Well, my chore today is packing so that I don't have an overwhelming amount of work today right at the moving day. Time to get back to it. I needed to write some and give myself a lecture at the same time. LOL It's one of those days where we need to breathe and let go. Listen to your heart, your higher self, and go with the flow of the Universe. Know that you are enveloped in giant wings of Divine love. You are safe and you are loved. Namaste, Many blessings, Kathy May 24, 2010 Monday I have been thinking of writing a blog for quite awhile now. There is so much to communicate about. Just yesterday I received an email asking about what is happening in the world right now. So many people are feeling it but aren't quite sure what's going on. Well, the energies are changing very rapidly. We are being bombarded with higher energies that are helping us to ascend (globally) to a higher consciousness. This is something that has been written about across many cultures and prophesied in many religions. Most notably, most of us are familiar with the Mayan calender and their prophecies of 2012. The prophecies exist in many other cultures as well, including Christianity. It all depends on how we choose to perceive it. We can view it as a very scary time or a very exciting time. We all have the capacity to make a difference just by the vibration we offer to the world. Quantum physics have proven this. Ghandi said we must BE the change we wish to see. That means, if we want peace, we must LIVE the vibration of peace as much as humanly possible. Below is the response to the recent email I received where someone was asking me what was happening in the world and if I thought she was off the wall. Noooooooooo, not at all. We are ALL experiencing these major changes. I seem to have lost the email I was going to copy and paste but let me sum up briefly what is happening. The incoming energies are causing us to bring up old stuff from the past that we hadn't dealt with. This is so we can release it and heal it and move on to a higher level. This can be uncomfortable but it will pass. See my articles page for more info on how to deal with this. Also, many people are seeing changes in their work, relationships, residences, ect. I have had about 5 friends go thru breakups just recently and I did myself about 2 months ago. This is because the new energies are causing "regroupings". We are regrouping with people, places and things that we vibrate with. We have to trust the process and know that we will absolutely end up where we belong. Trust, trust, trust. Also the energies are causing some of us to have days where we seem to be anxious, jittery, having mood swings or sadness. This is because our bodies have to acclimate to the higher frequencies that are coming into our bodies and our spaces. We are releasing and adjusting. If we stay grounded and centered and just "allow" the experience, it will soon pass. The jitteryness seems especially high on days when the solar flares (energy!) are most active. There is a book that is especially good if you want to understand energy and vibration. "The Divine Matrix" by Gregg Braden. This isn't just new agey gobbedly gook but it is being proven by scientists and quantum physicists. It is amazing. When you start to grasp it, you will understand what truly POWERFUL beings we are. We are only limited by our own beliefs. I will also post some websites on my website that contain helpful information about the planetary change taking place. Some articles on some sites are "out there" but many contain very valuable and useful information that will help you to navigate these times. Many bright blessings, Kathy | |
