No Pedestals

Idolizing or putting someone on a pedestal, is perhaps one of the most self sabotaging things you can do. Yes, I know,  that is a rather large statement, but it has to be said! With a Teacher, Healer, Mentor, even a Friend or Family member, we can have a tendency to hang on every word they say or constantly brag about them and their accomplishments while justifying it as ‘support’ or ‘pride’. When in fact, it can be damaging to both parties….

When we put someone on a pedestal, we are giving them our power, not seeing them in their authentic state,  and thinking of them as someone who is above us and has all the information or accolades we wish we had. Let us think about Teachers-they are meant to teach, that is all just teach. They hopefully have been trained in the subjects they are teaching, so naturally they have more information that we do when we first show up to learn. Teachers share knowledge with the intent of leading the Student to a higher level than that of which they first showed up in. That is all, that is their role. For many Teachers, myself included, it is important to build a relationship with each Student, as we are passionate about our work, and just as important is to allow Students to grow and learn at their own pace, and adjust to that. Most of the time, this leads to a special relationship, but sometimes the Student puts the Teacher/Mentor on a pedestal, and in turn learns nothing since they have given away their power unintentionally. There are times when a Teacher/Leader/Etc does this on purpose, to feed the Ego or Narcissism, but most of the time it happens due to a Student/Person feeling less than and needs someone to lead the way, making it easier to bypass insecurities. 

This serves no one, it only leads to confusion and we can end up not thinking for ourselves. It is only natural to equal or surpass a Teacher or Mentor, and even a Parent, or it should be! The same can be said for a healthy relationship-one must live in their own life, instead of becoming completely enmeshed in someone else's life. When I was in Elementary School, I was shocked when I came out of the bathroom stall and saw my Teacher come out of the one next to me-I didn’t realize Teachers went to the bathroom! Sounds funny right-it’s because I looked at my Teacher as someone so far above me that they didn’t do something as simple as go to the bathroom! That realization allowed my detachment from my Teachers to turn into  respect and comfort, instead of idolization. I was more comfortable with my Teachers throughout my Education, and this further allowed me to build great relationships with them in order to be more vulnerable with questions and mistakes. In my eyes, that is how we should build relationships with others, whether it is a friendship or more. We should never give away our power to someone who may be more successful than us, have better ideas, a more adventurous life or have the knowledge that we want. Building a relationship should be based on mutual resonance, respect and most of all fun! That is how we learn and grow, and in turn teach each other. 

Look at your life and observe if you are a follower or a mutual seeker. Are you comfortable in your relationships, no matter what type they are? Do you idolize someone, hanging on every word or action, follow blindly?  Step back and see where you have given your power away, and create the intention to take it back. How? See yourself and the person on the pedestal as human, imperfect,  a giver & a receiver- we are all connected, we are all One, even when we have different lives or levels of knowledge. We are all equal…

Fear

I've been hanging out mostly with ArchAngel Gabriel the past couple of days, pondering the quiet imbalance of the Pandemic, and the seemingly non communicative way we are going through our days. All seems quiet, but the energy is loud and huge and destructive. The Pandemic is still in full swing, but since many don't have a platform anymore to prove right or wrong, things have seemed to simmer down into status quo. The fires and hurricanes and blistering heatwaves also present an seeming imbalance of fire and water-but note that there is no air to disrupt the flow. Balance, yet imbalanced. Many people have mentioned a quiet that is unnerving, or a slow and still energy that permeates the air, causing anxiety or fear. I have noticed that the past week or so, many of my Clients were dealing with UTI's, Kidney infections, Kidney Stones, Gallbladder issues-all fear based.....where is the fear coming from..... I asked AA Gabriel if we are in status quo, or so traumatized by current events that we aren't aware anymore. He said, yes and yes.

"You see my Dear One, most in your chaotic society have turned to status quo as you call it, due to fear and acceptance. Others are so traumatized by fear and denial that they stay in that frequency in order to cope with the spread of the disease, as well as with weather. You are correct in that communication has almost come to a halt-whether it be Government, Familial, Friends, Coworkers, etc. Your society is shutting down emotionally-which in turn will forever change the dynamics of any style of communication. People are afraid to share their fears, people are afraid of being judged, dying from this disease, losing their homes and loved ones, aspects of life never changing-this is a endless wave of fear frequency that must stop. It is causing much illness and distress that is not necessary. All of you must return to communicating with each other with love and compassion, instead of fear and judgement! No one on your Earth has the human right or allowance to belittle, judge, verbally attack or dismiss another. No one has this right. Love and compassion builds grace-this is how your society will change at this moment, this is the opportunity for all of you to be able to stand strong and light and step away from fear. Yes, many more will die of this terrible disease, and many will become sick and stay that way for quite a while. In turn, many more will learn about health and honor their bodies in the highest of manners. And yes, Mother Earth is hurting tremendously right now, but also taking this opportunity to purge land and forest disease and she will return stronger than before. I realize that many are losing homes, lives, etc., but all is in Divine Order. You see, even with all of that there lies probable balance-but again, communication must exist. Speak with like minded individuals, speak with friends and family members that you love, speak kinder to yourselves and release the fear, the stillness 'in the air'. Once fear is released through compassion and communication, love and grace will surface in a most miraculous way-but this time your society must rise above with kind words instead of judgement. When will this all be over? It is truly driven by free will, for the disease was never charted to spread like it continues to, and the fires are contingent on support from many outside sources. You can make a shift, by changing your frequency from fear to love-this will continue to raise the frequency around you, and you know how that spreads beautifully. I am not suggesting that love will stop bad weather or fires or disease, but what I say is that love will allow you to be able to support others in a stronger manner and peace will be had amongst this chaotic time. I was so lovely to chat with you my Dear One! Blessings to you and all others."

July 2020 Lunar Eclipse

Crystals for Lunar Eclipse

The July 2020 Lunar Eclipse is also occurring on the 4th of July, while the USA is in great turmoil due to the spread of the Pandemic and deep Political trauma. During the last Lunar Eclipse in June, many people had a very difficult time resonating with the frequencies of Light and Shadow. Yes, Eclipses are all about the Shadow Self……

Lunar Eclipses are not as obvious as Solar Eclipses because it is usually dark when they occur, and the moon can have a shadow based on the orbit. If the orbits are not in favor of North America, it won’t be noticed unless it is a Total Eclipse. July 2020 is a Penumbral, which is a very light shadow created by the Earth’s shadow. A Lot of Shadow!

Energetically, during an Eclipse no matter the type, the Shadow/Ego is activated in our Light Bodies, bringing forward our most contrary personalities traits & lower emotions-at times only one aspect, other times a whole bag full! Either way, this is Shadow work and being aware of that will create a foundation for processing any Shadow that emerges in your Emotional Body & mind.  Our World is quite chaotic currently, and most of us do not have the coping skills for what is going on since this has never happened before. And Eclipse season on top of that?! 

It is a wonderful opportunity to meet and shift with your Shadow during this time! It is frequency based on the Full Moon (release) and the Shadow of the Earth offering itself to Grandmother Moon for releasing what no longer serves us. Pretty powerful, yes? While walking through Eclipse frequency, be aware that you may get triggered or be plain old grumpy or emotional for no reason. Acknowledge that, surrender to it and offer that energy gratitude for the awareness-then release to the love of Grandmother Moon. You may experience digestive issues, be mindful of the amounts of food you are eating, and being ungrounded with a lack of focus will probably sneak in as well. You will feel “off”, like something is going on-it is, it’s your shadow. 

I love Congo Citrine and Sunstone for this particular Lunar Eclipse. Citrine brings Solar energy in, as well as joy, digestion, sense of self and stimulation. Sunstone is for grounding, the ‘spark’ in the Sacral for focus, stamina, grounding and creation of self. These 2 Crystals together create a warm, grounding, stimulating and comforting frequency to balance the Shadowy & low frequency of the Eclipse. If you don’t have these Crystals, ask during meditation or visualize them flowing into your Light Column down into your hands. You will hold the frequency there and can place your hands on your stomach or low abdomen. You will intuitively know what to do. 

Awareness, Acknowledgement & Release will bring about great change for you.
