Relationships teach us so much about ourselves daily that we are exhausted at times. Bringing ourselves back to THE PRESENT is our ticket to peace. This moon month it is advisable to pay attention to the times when you try to fix what is not working. Improving, or saving yourself or others, only takes you away from the real spiritual work of practicing acceptance moment to moment. Hold a beautiful energy field with awareness of unconditional love. Confess to yourself when you are holding expectations of how the relationship should work and know that being present to what is working is the magic in the moment to utilize. Be brave and honest about who you really are and you will understand so much more about how relationships are actually mixtures and elixirs to experience fun, love, joy, peace, bliss … you name it!

Here are some questions I have been asked through the years:

Do you need to put yourself in a certain mindset in order to channel?

In the beginning I needed to put myself in a certain mindset by setting a sacred circle and clearing my thoughts, but then later it became more of a natural thing.

How do you know when you’re channeling?

For me it’s like a wave of energy that moves through my brain, or I can feel a download of information in my head that I know is separate from me in someways, at least separate from my personality.

Is it an epiphany or do you actually ask a question and the answer comes to you?

Both.

Do you hear the messages as if someone is talking to you?

It usually starts with a feeling first, then instant knowing and partially-formed pictures. Sometimes the picture is very clear and can even unfold like a movie. I interpret the symbolism and it takes what seems to me like a nanosecond to do it. I can also see and hear words and sentences. They come to me one at time, then as I continue, I go into a trance and the words just flow from me. I begin to speak without deciphering the words. The feeling, seeing, and knowing come in random order and flow together in succinct, clear messages.

How did this ability develop?

I believe this practice has come through my own meditations and facilitating meditation with others for over 15 years, but I did have an inclination since I was very young to communicate with guardians. After all, they were my best friends.

Once you ask a question of the Universe, do you always get an answer?

Yes! The answers are always there.

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.”

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”

Saint Mother Teresa
1910-1997

The spiritual vibration of Mother Teresa has made an impact on me even when I was very young. I didn’t pay much attention to the news or current events, but I remembered her and liked her. The thought of her made me happy. In elementary school, I thought how good to know that there are people in the world that care with deep conviction.

Now through my work and studies developing the Divine Feminine in myself and others and as a Celtic High Priestess of Daughters of the Moon and Sacred Moon Discoveries, I know her in other guise as the Divine Mother, Goddess, or Mother Earth.

Father Joseph Langford, cofounder with Mother Teresa of her community of priests, the Missionaries of Charity Fathers, and author of “Mother Teresa: In the Shadow of Our Lady,” writes Mother Teresa’s secrets from her deep and revealing letters only he was allowed to read. It was important for him to reveal the letters to support her Cannonization by the Catholic Church. She will be identified as a Saint this year in 2016, possibly in September.

Mother Mary strengthened her in carrying her own pain, and in tending to the pain of the poor. “Our Lady (Mother Mary) would help her to not only believe in the night, but to love in the night – to transform the mystery of the cross, both within her and around her, into seeds of resurrection.”

“Mother Teresa discovered that Our Lady’s presence alongside her in the slums purified things, no matter how sullied, and beautified things, no matter how uncomely. She opened the blackest of horizons to the light of God’s grace.”

Mother Teresa emptied herself in order to allow Light to move through her. In doing so, she became a Channel of Light.

I stumbled into the movie, ” The Letters, ” on Netflix. She wanted “to serve Him amongst the poorest of the poor” in India. I was so completely touched by her devotional love and acceptance. She spent over 50 years teaching, nursing, befriending and allowing safe passage for the dying. I was moved by how many people she served.

I related particularly because I just recently lost my mother in 2015 to a quick and scary cancer. I had to adjust my understanding of life and the importance of honoring another’s soul path passing time without attachment. It was a blessing to share love and peace in the midst of darkness. It was and still is a humbling experience.

In her letters to Father Langford it was obvious that Mother Teresa endured tremendous darkness. She felt abandoned by God. It was as if she had to feel the nothingness to allow God’s Greatness to work through her.

Here is a link below to the song, “Run” by Leona Lewis, played at the end of the movie. It is beautiful, but intense and extracts many interpretations. Here is mine. As we let go of those we love, or in the passings (deaths, changes) in our lives, there is Hope, Beauty and Divine Reflection (Light reflecting from our Union with others and Source).

A fabulous choice: love of self and love of others… in balance! Most of us are out of whack when it comes to keeping the balance between love of self and love of others, and service to self and service to others. How do we know whether to compromise or to follow our deepest desires with full force when our desires do not seem to align with those of the people in our lives whom we care so much about?

Here is what the Guardians have said to me on this matter:

“We suggest keeping it simple. We remind you to activate a preference for contentment and peace in your heart soothing your mind and nervous system. Holding balance first requires a commitment. Communicate with your loved ones your desire to share a devotional love. Define this together. Express intentions to bless each other’s journey. Discuss together what is clear in your mind and heart. Compromises will feel healthy, fulfilling and appropriate in the union. Be unafraid to reveal your true essence and love for one another. True devotional love will not harm, but heal, uplift and reflect your true Divinity. Blessed Be”

My Favorite Expression!

I asked my Higher Self to get in contact with the Wise Ones to help me elaborate:

“As you follow your soul’s guidance, if you allow this blessed reality to be present in your consciousness, you will dream and create in a magnitude that is unmistakably yours and unmistakably in sinc with cosmic consciousness. You see, YOU ARE cosmic consciousness and your unique self is an extension of the grand plan for all of humanity. This may seem too large for your comprehension, but it is not. For each small contribution from each individual contributes to the whole of all existence and profoundly affects the All. Paradoxically, this kind of awareness draws close ease and comfort. You will feel home in your collaboration and communion. The contentment that fills your heart fosters grace. A fluidity of motion from your awakening allows you to come in contact with the seen and unseen. Blessed Be, Seekers, for you are of the Kingdom of God.”

Winter Solstice/ Yule, December 21, is when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light half. It is the time of the greatest darkness and is the shortest day of the year.

Since the BC years, Yule has long been viewed by pagans (people that worship nature) as a time of divine birth. The Goddess gives birth to a son, the God, at Yule. This marks the point of the year when the sun is reborn. Bonfires were lit in the fields. The ceremonial Yule log, traditionally ash wood, was placed in the fireplace decorated in seasonal greenery, doused with cider or ale, and dusted with flour before set ablaze by a piece of last years log, (held onto for just this purpose). The log would burn throughout the night, then smolder for 12 days after before being ceremonially put out. Candles are also lit to welcome the sun’s returning light. The Goddess, slumbering through the winter of Her labor, rests after Her delivery.

Holly and ivy not only decorated the outside, but also the inside of homes, in hopes nature sprites would come and join the celebration. A sprig of holly was kept near the door all year long as a constant invitation for good fortune to visit the residents. Mistletoe was also hung as decoration. Children were escorted from house to house with gifts of clove spiked apples and oranges which were laid in baskets of evergreen boughs and wheat stalks dusted with flour. The apples and oranges represented the sun. The boughs were symbolic of immortality (evergreens were sacred to the Celts because they did not “die” thereby representing the eternal aspect of the Divine).

Many customs created around Yule are identified with Christmas today. If you decorate your home with a Yule evergreen tree, holly or candles, you are following some of these old traditions. The Yule log, (usually made from a piece of wood saved from the previous year) is burned in the fire to symbolize the Newborn Sun/Son, Jesus.
