Embrace Life!

When somebody gives birth, in Spanish they say dar a luz, meaning give to light. By doing it one gives the possibility to an organic energy to grow. If this organic energy is guided and developed the right way, one day it becomes the source of light itself. It would reach the highest level of existence, the Sun man, the Ra, that radiates and shines upon everything and everybody around, to ease their path. Therefore when somebody gives birth, gives light actually.

Every organic life form on Earth needs light. When you put a seed in a pot of soil usually hide it in the dark so it would become stronger in this dormant state, and after eager to get out of the dark to search for the life force of light. However, if the seed stays hidden for longer then supposed to, depression sets in and might give up on life forever.

When the shoot appears the seed arrives to the next stage of its life and becomes a plant.

In the New Age* we talk about various aspects of light with ease, however we rarely mean the above-mentioned Spanish verb. There are Light-workers, Light-eaters, warriors of Light, Light-beings, Light-healers and I could go on and on and on.

Light-workers are Earthlings* who understand the universal energy. They are healers of the planet. The Warriors of Light are earthling who are fighting for light, I suppose. Light-eaters can digest light and do not need food. Light-beings are, who incarnate onto Earth from time to time carrying important tasks. Light-healers are those, who heal with light. And Light givers are inviting souls down to Earth to fit into the ready made costume generally called the physical body.

It is the place where everything begins, as far as we, human beings are concerned. The first descend to planet Earth. The moment when we become earthlings. The time when the light is born.

Souls from many planets are waiting for the opportunity to taste earthly living. Most of these planets, like Mars, Venus and Neptune, are in the same Solar system* with Earth. Others like Leo, Aries, Gemini or Cancer are part of the 12 star formations zodiac that “ruled” people for just about 5 thousand years. Although they are not in alignment with the planet any longer, – therefore their effect is almost none – souls living there still favour Earth as an exciting destination to camp out for a while. The 22 star formations Forgotten zodiac* also willingly “lends” souls to be part of the miracle of the Birth of Light. And we should not forget the Pleiadeans…?

Earth – by its ancient name Keta – is a very unique planet. It is like the essence of the Universe. The only planet, that carries all the knowledge has ever existed. To know Earth is to know the Universe. Sometimes it makes me wonder, why earthlings want to observe other planets when they are still very far away from knowing their own. The “neighbour’s garden is greener” seem to be a global effect.

Bearing it all in mind Earth is like a school with only intensive courses souls should enrol to at least once in their infinite lifetime. The courses do not need entry exams and they all promise the opportunity of evolving. At the first instance souls enrol to an individual course based upon their ability, strength, curiosity, courage and ambitions. After making a decision they come into the Higher Plane of Earth, the upper layer of its aura called Shambala, and discuss the possibilities. Here they meet their first guides who would be helping them through the initial years on Earth. There would be also somebody representing the Universal Alpha – Omega Council to give an additional task to fulfil, and to help choose the family to born into.

Human beings like to think that they choose their children. Many of them pay quite a lot of money to control the gender and the birth time of the newcomer. It is an illusion to think it possible. Parents give their genetic appearance, physical structures, certain inclinations in behaviour patterns and inheritable diseases only to the children. They might be able to control the gender of the child with the help of medication, however it very often backfires. As an effect babies are born with “confused” genders, weak structures and as disease carriers. Consulting the oracle would be a natural help though.

Looking at it all, a soul in waiting finds a physical body to “jump into”. The gender, the colour of the body, the social background, the family structure and all inheritable illnesses are under consideration. This environment produces the soil for growing. The actual jump happens at half term, the moment the foetus moves for the first time. After that for four and a half months the soul is virtually in the hands of its physical parents and the surrounding. It hears everything, it understands everything, takes snips of the fragrances around, tastes incoming energies in the form of food, and all the time tries hard to withhold the situation.

In the womb the soul gets used to the physical body, observing its development, learning to use the senses and getting used to the emotions of the environment it chose to grow up in. The experiences of these 18 weeks would give a solid foundation for its earthly life.

And there is a lot, souls lending here need to get used to. Everything is sort of permanent on Earth. The permanence derives from the necessary usage of the physical body at all times. The body structure itself carries a naturally unchangeable gender that would give a strong direction of living. Surely not many parents to be think about the absolute direction it means to their children. They usually say: “it is better to have a boy first” or ” I am so happy it is a girl” or “I would have wanted a boy” or “it is another girl” and I could go on and on. Can you imagine how the child feels hearing these remarks?!

Human beings have children because according to them it is the fulfilling part of life. I emphasize have. This verb is the source of every misunderstanding, every emotional trauma and every upheaval in life. Ironically every subject in Earth School circles around this word.

One doesn’t have a child. One gives light. An opportunity for a soul to develop and the possibility to the self to learn during the process.

Understand, that everything and everybody is energy and as such has light. Light, that comes from within and faithfully mirrors the current state of being. The more developed the soul is the more light it projects out to add to the life force of the planet. Until it becomes the light itself. The light that has no shadow.

The path from a light bearer to an illuminated person – when the soul becomes light – is very bumpy indeed. The first challenge is to learn about the existence of such a path. Like every important thing in life, the path is hidden. Very few talks about it and even fewer grasps the real meaning of it. It is a personal Camino. An inner journey of self-discovery and development. This road doesn’t lead to Santiago de Compostela. It is a spiritual road, not a religious one. Religions, with their set of beliefs and practices don’t give you the freedom to set foot on this path. All religions are codified in one way or another and centred upon moral claims about reality. While the only aim of spirituality is to reach the God force and unite with it. This is the sole task of every earthling.

Go Greener!

What is the most abundant colour on the planet?
Green and more green, from the sea to land.
Check out my new leaf garden! Thanks to my wonderful husband Paul, we have a great leaf garden growing 6 different lettuces. The other day I caught my daughters and their friend plucking the leaves and eating them. Now that is fresh!
Different greens deliver different nutrients so it is best to incorporate a variety of greens from both land and sea.
Spirulina is one of my favourites. It can be purchased in a powder form and put into a smoothie or taken as capsules. Why green foods from the ocean?
The future of nutrition is found in the ocean. – Jacques-Yves Cousteau
Spirulina contains many wonderful nutrients, including chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, macro and trace minerals, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), polysaccharides, and a vast spectrum of antioxidants. Did you know that spirulina contains as much iron as meat? Spirulina also contains several bio-available forms of the mineral sulfur. Sulfur if excellent for your liver and pancreas. (Stay tuned for my fall liver-gallbladder flush teachings!)
Others include different kinds of algae like blue-green algae, marine phytoplankton, chlorella and kelp. They have their own unique profile of benefits.
Many of the ocean greens contain many trace minerals. Weston Price’s work in Nutrition and Physical Degeneration shows that those people who adopt a “civilized” diet, the faster mineral deficiencies symptoms appear. Mineral deficiencies have been associated with every degenerative and chronic condition known to humankind. www.westonaprice.org has a wealth of information on this, essential fats (seal oil is my favourite and his), and more.
The ocean greens are considered to be super foods whereas the land greens are not BUT they can be valuable in their own way.
On land, the green foods are plenty from the beautiful avocado, to celery, then broccoli and last but not least the leafy greens which include bok choy, kale, romaine, red leaf lettuce, spinach, dandelion, herbs and much more. Others include spring onions, green string beans, sunflower shoots, alfalfa sprouts, etc.
Two key reasons to consume vegetables are they contain water and fiber.
Many of the foods we consume today are only as rich in vital nutrients as what is found in the medium they are grown in. Remineralizing the soil is a must.
Here is your desire outcome…a salad a day. Consider using only an organic cold pressed olive oil in the dressing. Olive oil and lemon/lime…a simple salad dressing! (Stay tuned for my recipe book on oils which will include some delicious salad dressing recipes.)
Eat green — Be happy — Feel joy
Every time you sit down to your plate, ask yourself or your host…where’s the veggies! And if they remember the old phrase “where’s the beef” they might even chuckle which would be a healthy thing to do. ;o)
Make it a healthy day!
Cheryl

Connecting to the Angels.

June 9, 2010 by Joylina Goodlings

Connect to your angels


Get in touch with the power of your guardian angel
to help you solve problems and to bring happiness into your life. Author and angel expert Joylina Goodings says all you have to do is ask…

Angels are spiritual beings who can bring blessings into your life. They can help you find love, security, abundance, joy, laughter, peace and forgiveness – all you have to do is ask. Angels are divine creatures who have never lived as humans, unlike spirit guides who were once mortal. The term ‘angel’ means messenger of God or the creator, and the idea of angels is universal, crossing many religions and cultures. Consequently, angelic beings have an often confusing hierarchy surrounding them. But you don’t have to worry about precedence or even names in order to connect to your angel. Just focus on the type of angelic energy you want to draw into your life.

Your personal angel
Everyone has a guardian angel who watches over you during every lifetime. These personal angels carry the blueprint for your soul, which means everything you have chosen to experience before you were born. They cannot interfere in your life unless you ask them, and what you ask must be for your highest good and the good of others. However, if you are at a low ebb, asking for angelic help can lift you spiritually, so you can see a way through difficult times.
Your guardian angel is always listening to you but you have to ask for help. Don’t be afraid to address them, as there is no right or wrong way to talk to the angels. Concentrate your energy on sending a message, then let it go and wait for a reply. People often say prayer is asking and meditation is listening to the reply. But in my experience, answers arrive in many different ways, such as a line of text in a book that your eye falls upon, song lyrics, or people coming into your life. You need to be aware and look out for the signs or you’ll miss your angel answer.

Angel visualisation – Get in touch with your angel using this visualisation.

*Find a place you will be undisturbed for at least half an hour. Play soft music in the background, light a candle or incense to set the mood. Breathe deeply nine times. Imagine you’re breathing in peace and light, and breathing out tension and negativity. So every breath makes you feel more relaxed.

  • Imagine yourself in a happy, safe place. Then with each out-breath, imagine roots growing from your feet deep into the ground, so you’re connected to Mother Earth. Feel the Earth energy rising up through your body, relaxing you and shooting out the top of your head into the sky. You feel lighter and lighter as you float along the silver rays going up into the universe.
  • Floating across space you see and sense a beautiful temple. It is the temple of your soul, where your guardian angel is waiting for you. You approach the temple, floating up the steps and inside. You hear beautiful angelic music and see, sense and hear your guardian angel waiting to meet you. Notice the energy around you, feel the unconditional love your angel has for you. What colours, smells, sounds do you experience? If you cannot sense anything, then imagine what they might be like. Ask that they appear in your imagination. Talk to your guardian angel and listen to what they have to say. Ask for the help you need. Notice the symbols your angel shows you.
  • If you see, sense or hear nothing then know that the information will be coming to you in many ways over the next few days. Know that you can return to this place anytime you wish. Rest with you guardian angel. When you are ready, gently return along the silver thread back across the universe back to your beautiful safe place. Notice how differently you feel now how your perception has changed. Gently bring yourself back to consciousness. Have a glass of water to ensure you are completely grounded.

Top tips – How to bring angels into your life:

  • DECIDE what you want. Is it a relationship, new house, career, or a quality of energy such as forgiveness, happiness, security? Be aware that requests may manifest differently than to how you expect.
  • ASK for what you want. Ask from the heart for what you need. Angels do not read your mind they listen to your heart. Be connected emotionally to what you want when you are asking. If you have lots of issues, ask the angels to sort out what needs to be done first and imagine them lifting your burdens from you.
  • Be SPECIFIC about the qualities you want. If asking for a new home, for instance, ask for a happy, peaceful home that’s perfect for you right now. Don’t demand a specific mansion!
  • NOTICE the signs. Pay attention to any coincidences as these may be your angelic message. For instance, perhaps you find a parking spot outside an estate agents you never normally use.
  • ACT on the signs. In our imaginary estate agent scenario, this means you should look around this estate agent. Your dream home may be waiting for you there!
  • TRUST that everything is exactly as it is meant to be for your highest good and that of all others concerned. So when you see the dream house at a price you can’t afford, just make the best offer you can and wait and see what happens.

Appreciate the Simple Things

June 2, 2010 by Mike Robbins  
Filed under Editor's Pick, Growth, • Feature

Last week my left ear got plugged up and it was difficult for me to hear out of it for about 48 hours. It was scary and challenging. Thankfully everything was okay, it’s all clear now, and I’m able to hear just fine out of both ears.

Having this happen was yet another example of how easy it is for me to take something simple, but very important (like hearing), for granted. Sadly, we often don’t appreciate the simple things in life until they’re threatened, impacted, or taken away from us in some way.

What if we did appreciate the simple things all the time, in an authentic way? What kind of an impact would that have on our lives, our work, and our relationships? Dramatic, to say the least!

The book A Thousand Things Went Right Today, by Ilan Shamir, is all about this phenomenon. Think about all the simple things that have fallen into place, just today, to allow you to be sitting here, reading these words right now.

With this in mind, there are two important things that you can do right now (and in an ongoing way) to alter the experience of your life, your work, and your relationships extraordinarily:

1) Be Easily Impressed – In order to be easily impressed (i.e. to truly appreciate the simple things in life) we have to look for good stuff, appreciate the small miracles that occur around us all the time, focus on the amazing aspects of people and situations, and let go of arrogant, erroneous notions like, “I already know that,” or, “I’ve seen it all,” or, “No big deal.”

When we’re difficult to impress we also make it hard to be happy, grateful, and fulfilled. When we allow ourselves to be easily impressed, life gets much more fun and interesting. Appreciation is fundamentally subjective. People and things are only valuable (or not) based upon our perception of them.

If you’re interested in living a life filled with passion, success, and gratitude, it’s in your best interest to allow yourself to be authentically amazed all the time. Life is a miracle. People are incredible. You are fantastic. And, these things are only true if we pay attention to them and allow ourselves to be impressed by the greatness of life, others, and ourselves.

2) Be Hard to Offend – Being hard to offend is not about us abandoning our values or convictions, it’s more about choosing to allow other people and things be exactly as they are, without resistance of judgment. (new paragraph here)

We take so many things personally that have nothing to do with us at all. The more we react to something, the less freedom and peace we have. When I get really “triggered” by someone or something, if I make it all about the other person or the thing I’m focusing on, I usually miss the real gift, the lesson, and the point (i.e. the shadow or mirror that this “negative” thing is showing me about myself and life).

We are not victims of the people or circumstances in our lives. Others don’t actually have the power to offend us. As Eleanor Roosevelt so brilliantly stated, “No one can make me feel inferior without my permission.” This same phenomenon is true about being offended. It’s a choice we make and we have the power to choose not to be offended in almost every situation.

Unfortunately, most of us (myself included) have these two things flipped upside. In other words, we’re often very difficult to impress and quite easy to offend. And, as you may have noticed, this doesn’t work so well for us and those around us. How we can start flipping this around – becoming more easily impressed and harder to offend – is by appreciating the simple things in life and doing so as a regular practice.

Action Idea – Appreciate the Simple Things Right Now:

Take a moment right now to pause and put your attention on all of the simple things you can appreciate in this moment. Look around where you are, go within yourself, and scan your life right now – focusing on what you appreciate. You can just think about these things, talk about them with someone else, or write them down (on a piece of paper, in your journal, in an electronic document, on my blog or your blog, and more). It doesn’t really matter what form it takes, this is about putting our conscious attention on some of the many simple things we can appreciate in this moment.

Some of these things while “simple,” may be quite significant (your health, your job, your most important relationships, etc.) And, even if you focus on very basic stuff (the fact that you have a computer or device that allows you to access this article, that your eyes work well enough to read it, that the electricity or battery power running your computer or device is allowing it to function, and more), your ability to recognize and appreciate the “good stuff” in life is directly related to your level of fulfillment and enjoyment.

We always have a choice as to what we pay attention to, what we focus on, and what we appreciate (or don’t). Make a commitment to yourself to appreciate the simple things in your life in a genuine and ongoing way, and see what happens!
