Living Your Purpose

For a long time I had let doubt, poor self image and lack of confidence convince me not to chase down my dream and completely diminish my purpose. I spent my life living excuses and telling myself all the reasons I couldn't do something. In my head I would plan out what I wanted to do and how it would look in the future. On Dec 21, 2015 I got real with one of my biggest hurdles, my weight. I realized that I had spent the last ten years wishing I looked different, avoiding going places, starting diets and sabotaging them and just being miserable, none of which had made any difference. well that's not true it had made me fatter. I finally realized that I did not want to be in the same situation ten, twenty, forty years from now having spent my whole life stuck in the same cycles, living the same miserable unsatisfied life.

So with this determination I began my new lifestyle. In the last month or so it has evolved and developed into a lifestyle of veganism. Mostly high carb, low fat plant based. I still have a long way to go on that front but I'm on the journey.
Following the same realizations I have overcome my self doubt and wishy washy mindset to take some concrete steps on my purpose. I am an Earth Angel and I love nothing more than bringing messages of love and hope to a world that is in desperate need of heavens love. I am driven to help other Earth Angels find their purpose and stay on track. Giving guidance to those who feel temporarily disconnected from Gods voice. Helping them find their wings again. As well as helping them heal and stay energetically clear so that they can stay in contact and alignment with the Kingdom.

If you are reading this then this message is for you. Spread your wings and release the chains of fear, my loves. Chase your dreams with wild enthusiasm and let go of all expectations about how things will turn out. Have faith in the unseen realms ability to place you exactly where you need to be and be eager for each new assignment and opportunity, no matter the size. We are all here on this earth for one purpose, to live our purpose and create a more loving and beautiful world. All your worries, all your doubts and all your fears that you allow to stop you, gives the message to other earth angels that its okay for their worries, doubts and fears to stop them as well and where does that lead us? A world without healers, without messengers of hope. A world where nothing changes. Your mission is huge and you are important. You were given certain fears, doubts and character flaws for one reason and one reason only... to overcome them. You don't fear what other people think of you because you're not meant to do something, you fear it because overcoming it will strengthen your spirit, your true self.
The biggest setback to accomplishing your dreams is having expectations of how things should be. It causes us to lack gratitude about where we are and what we have. It can and does prevent us from experience our true purpose, that which we couldn't even begin to fathom. Expectation is all about living in the future and comparing yourself to your imagined perfect situation. Or even worse, comparing yourself to other people. There is nothing self loving about having expectations.
Setting intentions about the things you want to experience without expectation is self loving, manifesting, creating and being your purpose. Living in the magic of each experience as it happens, fills our hearts with gratitude and our minds with wisdom.

 

If you are struggling with direction and purpose I urge you to seek out someone on your behalf who can tap into the great creative mind, round up your angels and have a sit down conference about the next steps for you to take. If you are struggling with old wounds and serious mental blocks, I urge you to seek out a healer who can hold a powerful space of truth and love and allow the divine perfection to heal you. Basically, seek out the help that you need to get you inspired and take action because we need your gifts, talents and blessings in this world. You are needed and deeply loved

Reflections ~ Release and Surrender

Today is January 12, 2016. My message today is "release and surrender". This has definitely been a theme in my life lately and I am grateful for it. Releasing the things that we absorb, subconsciously and energetically. From other peoples opinions and ideas to the expectations and pre-developed belief systems of society. What is YOU and what is not. I had gotten into the really bad habit of believing that other peoples opinions about my relationship with God was the same as GODS opinion of my relationship with Him. I let fear replace faith and it was restricting and limiting and self abusive. I release that. I have faith that it is God who is leading me on my narrow path and calling me to places that are unacceptable to preconceived beliefs. I also surrender the need to judge others based on my journey and limited understanding. I have faith that it is God who is leading them on their journey, no matter where they are or how they express it.

The Jews say a daily prayer called the shema, part of this prayer is the affirmation "God is One". I choose faith in this, that God is one, and besides Him there is no other god because He is Oneness. Which simply means that all events and circumstances work together for my good, how could they not when God is all there is. So I release fear.

I surrender control and allow others to help me. I am releasing my need to be strong and embracing my vulnerability. I am willing to become the student and truly learn who I am and trust my teachers with my vulnerability. This is not easy for me but I am in my mind most of the time and need to live from my heart, because what is knowledge without love? meaningless.

What are you releasing and surrendering on your journey?

Dream - Stop consuming the same old sh*t!!

Sunday morning I woke up disgusted and freaked out. The dream that I just had was symbolically and emotionally intense! My immediate interpretation was based in the fear that I was on the wrong path because the group in the dream was one I was considering joining again. As the day moved on this dream was continually on my mind and I prayed for Holy Spirit to reveal to me the true interpretation and message.

In the dream I was with a spiritual teacher (that I am a fan of but have never met in real life) and we were going to talk to the pastor of a spiritual group that she was affiliated with but not a part of, (this spiritual teacher has a radio program on this groups website). Anyway when we got to his house I put my purse down and we started talking. He told me that this group has found a way to great healing by...wait for it....consuming their own feces... that's right, absolutely gross, in the dream I was freaking out! He was going on telling me how great this was and then asked me if I would like to try it and then left the room. The spiritual teacher I was with knew about this groups "practice" and that was why she was not part of the group. I asked her if you had to partake in this to be part of the group and she said yes, then she showed me how they start this practice on infants by putting the feces in their bottles (it was a very emotionally intense scene). We decided to leave before the guy came back. As we got to the car I realized I had forgotten my purse in the house and now I had to sneak back in, get it, and sneak back out. I succeeded.

It was the middle of the day when Holy Spirit showed me the truth about what the purse represented and it unlocked the whole meaning of the dream for me. The purse was representing (in this dream) my personal identity. It was then that I realized that "who" the group was in the dream was irrelevant because any group, spiritual or otherwise, can be represented here(which is why I didn't name the group). The symbology is that any group of people who have a set doctrine that they must follow to be considered part of the group (diets, politic, theology, ideology) regurgitate and consume the same old "shit" and lose their personal identity to conform to the group. Even more disturbing was the visual of how children are fed this, instead of guided to find truth, from infancy.

The message to me (and you!) - Learn, seek, ask, question, study but do NOT leave your personal identity behind.

Its really all about walking your path and your personal relationship with God, not about other peoples opinions of your relationship with God. personal identity, personal development, faith in the voice of God to follow where He is leading. So today I leave you with the question, what are you feeding your spirit with?

A Time of Transformation

Release.... surrender..... Move with the transitions you are going through.

This has been the consistent  message from Holy Spirit throughout the last few weeks and the more I quiet my ego (who yells profusely during any transition) and the more I release fear and step into what is right for me, the more I am seeing these huge shifts taking place like never before. 

A year ago I began my journey into christianity, specifically the hebrew roots movement. I made this paradigm shift coming out of neo-paganism/new age. Each one of these shifts has major cognitive dissonance effects and the ego really has a hard time adjusting to them, mostly because a little bit dies every time your awareness expands. I like to challenge my beliefs, my mind and my perceptions in this way. I like to "put on" a whole new perspective and see where I am led. At the very least I have the knowledge and experience but at the most, I am led to many deep mysteries and spiritual transformations. In this last experience, while in the christian/hebrew roots I discovered SO much about the hebrew language and culture (as it pertains to scripture) that reveal so much more depth in the bible. This led me to the teachings of the Zohar and Kabbalah, the spiritual (as opposed to literal) understandings of the old testament. I am still learning and am by no means an expert, but I did discover that alot of these teachings have more in alignment with some of the new age concepts, ACIM and metaphysical christianity that I had previously abandoned, plus added a whole new dimension to it all. Well these discoveries have led me into another spiritual transition and series of paradigm shifts but in this case its not so much a transition between two different belief systems as it is a shift deeper into whats true for me. I am releasing the need to fit into a specific mold and learning to listen to what is right from my heart. This is where I am.

So, I believe that Jesus is the messiah, I believe that he came to fulfill a covenant and show us the way to the Father by dying to our ego. This process is a journey of spiritual growth, which includes obstacles to over come that strengthen our character as we become the Christ in expression. I believe we are all one, the body of Christ. I believe that everything is frequency and vibration and that the spiritual and physical laws of God are a path to reaching a higher vibration. I believe in the metaphysical reality of our world and that the spiritual battle and deception is real, however, I also believe that God is ONE and that we are safe because He is ultimately in charge and everything works out for our benefit. I believe in energy healing, and crystals and angel cards, especially for self reflection, and prayer and meditation and affirmation. I believe we are creators made in the image and likeness of the Father and that we are here to learn how to create with morality. I believe that when we use affirmations we are speaking life into the world. I also believe in true repentance, which is to face the "mistakes" and right the "wrongs" we have created while learning to understand morality, and to return to the Father. I believe in astrology as He gave us the sun, moon and stars as signs in the heavens and seasons (meeting times). I believe in those "meeting times" as the Holy Days found in lev 23 and that they bring us into alignment with heaven, our angels and the Will of the Father, which I believe is also our will when we learn to get over ourselves. I believe in charity and generosity. I believe that, as earth angels, our job is the same as the heavenly angels; to bring messages of hope, love, and healing to a sick and dying world. 

And ultimately, probably the biggest lesson that I have learned so far on this journey to Truth, is that everything in this world has deception twisted into it. that snake has slithered into every part of our spiritual beliefs and world religions. He that decevieth the whole world. When I realised that I also realised that the journey must be led by having faith and trust in the Lord for what he is calling us too, personally. Trust the guidance that we receive and always stay connected through prayer.

Now I would love to share with you a chakra meditation that I was guided to do during cleansing bath ceremony. I used a rose quartz stone in the water and lavender essential oil to anoint each chakra with while I said each prayer. 

Crown chakra: "I anoint my crown chakra in the name of Christ and ask Holy Spirit to clear and open it that I may lay down my judgments, opinions and beliefs, so that I can receive True guidance from Heavenly Father, Holy Spirit, and my angels." 

Third eye chakra: "I anoint my third eye chakra in the name of Christ and ask holy spirit to clear and open it, that I may see with my spiritual sight. Allow me to see the truth from Holy Spirits perspective in every person and situation" 

Ear chakras: "I anoint my ear chakras in the name of Christ and ask Holy spirit to clear and open them, that I may hear the small, still voice of God and the Holy Spirit." 

Throat chakra: "I anoint my throat chakra in the name of Christ and ask Holy spirit to clear and open it, that I may speak life and affirm the Truth with kindness, gentleness and love." 

Heart chakra: "I anoint my heart chakra in the name of Christ and ask Holy Spirit to clear and open it that I may give freely from it to others, feel for others the way Heavenly Father feels for them and be guided by it." 

Solar plexus chakra: "I anoint my solar plexus chakra in the name of Christ and ask Holy Spirit to clear and open it, that my will may be aligned with the Will of Heavenly Father and that I may have the will power to over come." 

Sacral chakra: "I anoint my sacral chakra in the name of Christ and ask Holy Spirit to clear and open it, that I may become my most creative self and hear and feel my emotions more clearly." 

Root chakra: "I anoint my root chakra in the name of Christ and ask Holy Spirit to clear and open it, that I may be grounded in my body and connected to it, that I may feel it and communicate with it. also with the material world. While I am in the world but not of it, let me be at peace with it and trust Heavenly Father that I am safe in His hand."  

Thank you for coming along with me and letting me share my journey with you. ~ In grace and gratitude.

The Feast of Dedication

"O send out thy light and thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto the mountain of thy holiness and to thy tabernacles" psalm 43:3

The feast of Dedication is all about cleansing our hearts and minds of the idols of the world. Its about rededicating our lives to the kingdom of God and and putting Truth before everything else. Its about dedicating our lives to loving each other and caring for our brothers and sisters. During this time we wipe our hearts clear of selfishness and give them in obedience to the Lord. A course in Miracles teaches that Gods will is our will. What this truly means is that once we realize that what we really want is what God wants and not what we think we want, we find peace and joy in obedience to His will. When we can put aside our egos, our pride, our worldly natural selves and see with the eyes of Holy Spirit, we experience miracles everywhere.

Chanukah prayer ~

Dear Heavenly Father, I dedicate the altar of my heart to you. Wipe clean the idols in my life that your will may be done through me, as I know that your will is what I truly want. I lay down the judgments, opinions and beliefs of my prideful ego and ask to see with the eyes of the Holy Spirit, to be taught Truth. Teach me the ways of your Kingdom and lead me in service to others. In Grace and Gratitude, In Jesus name, Amen  

We can now meditate and allow our judgments and beliefs to surface, ask Holy Spirit to show you truth when they arise and then release them. see yourself dropping your "idols" into the fire and coming into alignment with God and His will.

 

First Night of Chanukah

"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you" Isaiah 60:1 

Tonight, on the first night of Chanukah, the light is kindled in the Temple of our hearts. After this past year of worldly concerns and earthly matters, the light dawns on the gates of Heaven and shines for all to see. The Angels of Chanukah descend to bring the miracles of God to those who bear His Light. Together we can let this light shine on those in darkness, sorrow and need, that they may feel eternally loved and cared for. 

Light the middle candle (this is the servant candle) with this candle light the first candle on the far right. 

Chanukah Prayer~ 

"Dear Heavenly Father, Creator of the Light, thank you for this season of miracles. I open the temple of my heart, please fill it with your loving Light. Let me bear it, humbly, for all those who need to feel your love. Send the Angels of Chanukah to guide my way that I may serve the Kingdom. Please pour out your Peace, Love, Grace, and Mercy upon this world. In grace and gratitude, in Jesus name, Amen <3

Now we can meditate on releasing the concerns of your ego that you have been carrying around the past year and let Heavens glorious Light fill your heart. You may get feelings or see how you can be of service to those who need your Light.  

Chanukah ~ A Celebration of Gods Miracles

After much research, as well as my personal history, I have decided to start celebrating Chanukah and other Biblical holidays instead of Christmas and traditional holidays. Not because I want to be Jewish or because I think that we "have" too, but because I want to celebrate the holidays that God provided for us in scripture. I've done this for a year now and I am still getting used to it. because I'm not attempting to be Jewish I have been trying out different traditions and more universal spiritual meanings with these celebrations. Chanukah is traditionally celebrated as a time when the Jewish people were occupied by the roman empire, and they had taken over the temple. The Maccabees were a Jewish family that led a revolt to take back the temple and drive the Romans out. They succeeded but did not have enough oil to keep the menorah lit for the eight days it would take to make more. God provided the miracle of Chanukah and the small amount of oil lasted the entire time.
 While this is a very beautiful story, I personally see in it a celebration of the miracles of provisions that God provides for His people throughout the entire year! I celebrate this holiday in gratitude and appreciation of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Chanukah is Hebrew for "the feast of dedication". I celebrate this time of year as a refocusing and "clearing out" of my own temple from the things of this world that I have been over focused on and perhaps even placed before the altar instead of God. A time to get my mind off of the things of the flesh and onto the deep things of the Spirit. dedicating and re-centering myself in the Heavenly Kingdom!
Chanukah is also known as The Festival of Lights! So naturally we celebrate the Light of our Heavenly Father, the Light of the Angels and the Light of the Kingdom and the Light of Christ inside us, shining in the world! We are the Children of Light and in this time of darkness we let our light shine even brighter.
Because Chanukah isn't that popular, there aren't many decorations available so we get to make our own, which I think is a perfect sentiment for this holiday. The central focus is the menorah (I will do another post about the spiritual significance of it soon), so we use that as a symbol to decorate with, as well as Angels! They represent miracles to me. We also use stars as a symbol of Gods guidance. And lots and lots of lights and candles. The biggest theme I try to incorporate is that of charity and generosity, sharing miracles and Gods grace with others.
In the Kingdom of God, the angels and other heavenly hosts keep a cycle of festivals that celebrate Gods love and tell a prophetic story of His plan for us. He laid out a calendar of those festivals in scripture and some extra biblical texts, like the books of enoch and jubilees. This calendar keeps us attuned to the Kingdom of Heaven.
This festival is a good time to become sensitive to the deep things of God, celebrating His Spirit and Light and feeling gratitude for the many miracles and blessings Heaven has provided for us.
Happy Chanukah and many miracles to you <3
