In the Name of Love

A magical thing happens when we decide to live from a place called love.  A thing called peace transpires, as does prosperity, and clarity, and joy.  These are not things that can be acquired through the uncertainty of day to day fears unless we are to take them through the transfusion of love and wash them clean, wash them new again, so that they are meaningless and no longer have a hold on us, or at least not the hold that are previous stories did.

No matter what happens throughout your life, or throughout your day, you are still eternally You (the undying, unedited version of Oneness). You are this version, whether you see it this way or not, whether or not you beleive it, whether or not you live by the means which this Truth beholds. You are This, and you can only be This, and the magic of the thing called love.  And the levity of living under its spell, is that it takes you there.  It takes you to that place within you that transforms all of the everything that gets in your way and blinds you from your miraculousness.  It transcends time and space, and issues, and elevates you to a place where magic not only reigns, but unfolds moment to moment in ways that you could not have imagined from the perspective of not-love that you had lived before.

And we all lived there before.  It is the place from which we came if we reach the higher highs, the ashes from which we all rise.  And there is such beauty in that, really.  If you have lived in the life of the love not quenched.  If you have lived the life of the dreams permanently benched.  If you have lived the life of the pain quota permeating permanently, unbudgingly throughout your reality rather than dipping into the barrel now and again, then you know what it is to live in suffering.  To know what it is to live in suffering, not knowing how, or if, you will ever arrive ( or find your way out of your own personal hell) and then find it, some day, miraculously, simply by becoming the observer of the you who has opened the door to the You (essence) and is laying you on the line for complete and unobstructed observation, then you know what it is to become new again.  And you know that miracles have a way of finding themselves into your heart, and that miracles happen to the everyday man.

There is no freedom in pain.  We may lie to ourselves (sometimes for an eternity, sometimes just day to day until we don't) that our pain is justified, is necessary, is medial.  We may tell our selves that it is the way of life.  But the truth is that suffering is not our path.  Our path is joy.  Our destination is to find our way back to our souls, and there we will find the love, and the peace, and the strength that runneth over.  If our focus point becomes to remain in joy, to reach for it, to surrender to peace, always, in all ways, then our life drastically changes, in profound and miraculous ways, without question.

Our suffering is there, as it always has been, and must be met with a loving heart.  But our suffering, as our identity, distorts our truth and our perception of our selves as well as our reality, in ways that thwart our best efforts at living.  To become one with ourselves, we must explore the depths of our being that hold our highest and lowest parts.  But to become stuck there, in the depths, and navigate solely through the lows, without as well excavating the highs, we are allowing our pain to hold us rather than holding the space for our pain.  The difference is in how life unfolds for us from this vintage point.  When we allow our pain to hold us, we become attached to the story it tells, and we are severed from our connection to life and to our selves.  When we hold the space for our pain, we allow for the opening of the crack where the light and the love can shine through.  We allow for compassion to prevail and apathy to fade away.

The miracles of love are boundless, and love, for most, is truly such an unexplored thing.  How many live from love in the kindness they extend toward themselves?  How many live form love in the kinship they extend toward another?  How many live from a true place of unconditionality where the giving of love is not based on what they receive in return or on guarantees or goodness?  When these questions become more than ponderings and transcend into models for living, we begin to associate love as a way of living not a state of mind or a feel-good thing that comes and goes.  When we become Love and model our life after its teachings, we become connected to the truest aspects of our beings, the ones that are timeless, the ones the never grow old, the ones that never go away.  When we fall into Love, like the arms of a long-lost soul that we've been searching for, and realize that we've finally come home, we can breath deeply again, into the knowing, that we never really left the safety or our abodes, we simply went traveling on the seas of adventure through the contrast of life in order to know what it is to be on the other side of the coin, the flip-side of heaven, and in order to know that we could find our way back to what in our hearts we've always known.

You can find your way there.  All it takes is a little faith in the momentum of love to lead you, to cleanse you, to set you free.  Have faith in You and the beauty of love to transform and transmute all that stands to impede your progress.   Allow for the warmth of its embrace to melt away all of your troubles, all of your hardships, all of your pain. You desire this longing for love because you know it exists. You know it is yours to behold.  But the love that you most truly seek is not something you will find out there, somewhere, it is what you will discover to be the treasure within as you uncover and rediscover the remarkable essence and splendor of the You that you knew not so long ago as a soul that embarked on its journey into this wondrous world in order that it could navigate the highways of life and find Truth again waiting on the steps of its front door once it was ready to release the troubles of the worried heart and open to the messages of its soul.

In joy, and in love,
in the goodness and the wealth, and the blessing of all things,

Free-flowing grace to you dear ones! And may you know again the sweet sounds of your heart songs today!

Integrating Integrity


To live in integrity means to live our truth, means to live fully in the truth of who we are- to express it- to Be it- to rise to it, and let it be risen.  In the earlier post about the energy this month, I mentioned that this is a time of really wanting to indulge, in a Big way. Perhaps what we are wanting, though this is a time to let life be a thing of decadence, is a fuller sense of the I AM.  Perhaps what we are really longing for and craving, and what is being expressed and sensed within us, is a wanting for more of our Selves to be felt, to be experienced, to be realized.

For so long, we experienced the longing to fill the hole with a drive to pursue something out there, in the world, that could quench us, or suppress us (or that innate longing). And so too, now may be one of those times when we are being exposed for our ‘go-to’s or our bandaid fix for ‘The Quench’ of our souls that sends us searching for wholeness and needs long unmet.

When our needs aren't met by others, we come to believe that needs can't be met by another, so we develop a dependency on things. We really don’t get ‘met’ or satiated for long by things, so we overindulge until we feel numb. And since this pacification worked (sort of) or seemed to anyway, it becomes an addiction. Since those needs or those inner longings aren’t quelled for long, when the cry of inside sounds again, we go to the refrigerator, the liquor store, the mall. We go to the ‘thing’ that we think will make it alright and the thing that will lullaby our longing, at least until next time.

And all of us have some ‘thing’ that we turn to. And that’s alright. There’s no need to be ashamed of who or what we’ve been or what we’ve relied on to survive.  But we’re being provided with an opportunity right now to see how we respond to that inner cry of the wild, the song of the soul, that wants to be set free. And we are being motivated to bring in more of our Selves rather than numb over the hole that’s been perfectly engraved for our Sacred soul’s fit. It is our soul, our Is-ness, our truest selves that can fill that void and quiet the longing (or the loathing for not letting it in). And until we fulll-fill ourselves with what we really desire, those longings will go unmet.

This is a time, no doubt for living large and truly tasting the fruits of the world and really quenching our thirst for life. This is a time to explore and indulge and be extravagant with our pleasures. And this is truly a time to give to ourselves all that we desire and all that brings us joy.  But we are cautioned to be aware that that alone, these seeking of pleasures and gratification of desires, is not all that we are meant to be dipping into as we’re expanding more fully into what it means to be alive.  

You will know when you are running from what you don’t want to feel, from the parts within that you don’t want to meet with loving arms but would rather run from.  You will know by how you feel after you indulge. If you are still ‘hungry’ for something, if you feel sadness, if you feel deeper longing, you are keeping a part of yourself down. Not all of the soul is always rejoicing or is comfortable to be with. There are deep feelings within you that need to be released, need to be felt, need to be held. And as you begin to step out of your comfort zone and let more of your soul in (and out), and as you begin to notice and sit with the times that you don’t, you will begin to experience some not so pleasant, perhaps, things. You will feel the sadness for running away from, abandoning, or withholding self.  You will feel the rage of rejection (you shunning you in the name of someone or something else, or in the name of convention).  You will feel despair as the parts of you that have been held down wonder if they will ever be set free. And it is of utmost importance for you to hold the space for compassion for You as you, and all of your parts, are unveiled.  It is in doing this that you begin to become whole, as you welcome you in, without the stipulation of you needing to be a certain way. Unconditional. That’s what’s called for.Unconditional forgiveness.  Unconditional love.  Unconditional joy. You’ve lived by the ‘condition’ long enough, wouldn’t you agree? Time to open your heart and try it new, try on You.

When we bring in more of our selves, when we let our selves shine through, there is an inner peace and joy that cannot be surpassed by anyone or anything.  It is joy ‘for no reason’. It is unconditional, not based on any outer circumstances. And in this state of inner expansion, there is profound selflove; love like you’ve never quite experienced before, love that doesn’t compare. And this is the very thing we most long for.

For all of those who have tried (as you might) to bring in or command a greater sense of self-love, this is so much easier (and effective). All that’s needed is that you breathe into your higher self, your essence, and let it come in, intend it in, fuller, and you will feel the difference.  You will feel more grounded.  You will feel lighter.  You will feel centered.  And you will feel love. Try it.  Often.  And you will begin to experience the kind of love (and the kind of life) that you are craving.

Living in integrity means listening to and living from your heart. Begin by listening more closely to it’s requests and you will better know your self.  And when you’re not sure what your heart is saying, or how to tell the difference between your heart and the voice of your ego, begin to question until you can better differentiate. Try both options (that of your heart and that not) on for size and Feel what moves you with the rhythm of your soul.  Feeling is key here. After all, it’s the language of the heart. So learn to still your mind enough to feel into how you feel. Pay attention to your inner navigational system.  It won’t steer you wrong. It knows the way. And you will too as you begin to allow yourself to expand in this way.

Here’s a little tip that will help along the way: don’t buy into the ‘rational’ of guilt or shame.  You don’t need this to temper your desires or your dreams. Banish the notion that you are sin. Outcast the belief that it is imperative that your actions are not harmful to others or that if you do for yourself you will be doing against another in turn. Doing for you, following your heart or your inner longings does not make you wrong, bad, or selfish. It makes you stronger and more alive. And in that sense, you can actually do and be more for others.  You have to drink from the fountain of You first though. Take time this month to witness where and when you give yourself away for fear that you will do somebody wrong. In order to override your barriers to You, you must first learn to notice where you hold yourself back and why. If you are compromising you in the name of guilt or obligation, challenge what you’re trying to live up to and whether or not it’s real.  Play around with new ways of thinking, being, doing and see how they Feel to you. You’ll soon realize that choosing You isn’t irresponsible, it’s probably the most responsible thing you’ll ever do.

Part of owning you is trusting you. You have to retrain your thoughts to that they support You and honor your truth. If you are doubting You, how can you feel good about yourself?  Allow for expression without abandon (without regret), and know that you are learning more everyday how to keep life in tune with your truth.

Understand that choosing a new way isn't always comfortable. It takes some adjusting to Be a new way and to listen to your heart instead. As you are opening to a new way, you are walking away from the old. Feelings of sadness, grief, despair, or anger are normal as you are shifting and leaving behind your old identity, what you've adhered to and subscribed to all this time. Expect some confusion and some delay of settling into the new groove as all of you settles into being new, as All of You adjusts to the new surroundings. And be gentle with yourself as you acclimate to change and allow for higher ways to be imposed. Change can be scary and is something all of us avoid, to one degree or another. Be with you and bring in the compassion you would offer a friend during a time of transition so that you can open to grace.

Open up to you and let your heart win. You’ve been waiting for a long, long time for this. The expansion you long for is to fully embody a greater sense of you. Breathe into this expansion and begin to take your cues from You as you let all of the other directives that you’ve been living by fall to the wayside. And by the way, you’re going to expand this month, one way or another, so might as well make it intentional and direct the flow where you want it to go.

Much love to you,

In the name of grace and rejuvination!

All is a blessing. All is a step in the direction of The Way!

Magical moments and a heart filled with peace as it welcomes the You that you long for back home!

The Energy of April~ Expansion!


April is the month of opportunity, be it come as new thoughts, greater possibilities, or surprise encounters. The theme for this month is expansion- not just in options but in who and how you’ve been, and who you’ve allowed yourself to be.  So it’s about going beyond where you’ve been, challenging yourself to do it different and break out of the mold and release the old in exchange for the new.

There’s always a replacement model.  Perhaps, (more than likely) the version of you that you’ve tried out thus far is dated and used and there’s no more room for excuses to be big and robust.  Rise in the energy of expansion that prevails this month and perforates through the next coming stages and levels of the rest of this year.

As each month offers us an opportunity to become intimate with selective charkas ( this month being the 4th, or heart chakra), it also provides us, in the wings of the beginning and the ending for the month, with an eclipse of the previous and upcoming work that was/will be highlighted in the proceeding and forthcoming chakras.

So with March’s theme of power/joy/control, we were given many windows in which to peak at our relationship with those aspects and how well we relate to them in our lives. We will be given the first week and a half of so of April to continue to glimpse our power struggles and measure how far we have climbed on the ladder of evolution with those matters.

Since April highlights the heart chakra, which interrelates love (when in balance) and fear (when imbalanced), we will begin to understand on a deeper level how well we connect with our selves and others and where our disconnections keep us from fully living the life we love.

What fears stand in the way and keep us polarized or separate from the tribe and the ones we love or from being love?  What beliefs do you hold true that interfere with loving more fully and inhibit you from opening wide?  With the third chakra eclipsing aspects, you will also review what stands in the way of your joy and empowerment when it comes to following your heart and what fear-based foundations propel you to force or control life rather than listening to the wisdom of your heart and letting it flow.

With the underlying energy of expansion this month, you will find yourself tolerating less of the inhibiting or barbaric behaviors that auto-pilot or unconscious living has conditioned you to believe was normal, from your self and others, though this will be balanced by greater levels of compassion and softening that allows for coming together in deeper ways.  You wil also be pleasantly surprised by the momentum of transformation which radically alters previous long-held ways of operation and beliefs that kept you stuck and held you down (most likely aspects that inhibited your relationship to yourself and others, and more likely issues that have dominated you, and your clan (ancestors) for generations) that were so residual and resistant that you thought you’d never be able to shift or unplug from them (and Lord knows you’ve tried!)

Another aspect to pay particular attention to (and understanding of this will greatly assist you in encompassing empowerment and love- or the combo of the two, compassion, the great melter of ice that keeps us, and our hearts, frozen) is the awareness of the Black Moon Lilith.  The Black Moon Lilith holds within its consciousness all that is hidden.  That would encompass our deep dark secrets, our skeletons, and our unmentionables, our unvisited potential- but also, the ‘sunken treasures’ that store within them the truest gems of our soul as well as the blueprint to our most authentic expression of Self.

How can we love fully when we feel that there are parts of us that we must hide?  How can we Live fully when we don’t really know what’s inside?  With the fear of facing this – the Dark Moon aspect of our selves, we will never truly know, unless we allow ourselves to go beyond the terror of the unknown within the depths in order to encompass the element of surprise that’s unleashed once the darkest corners are exposed?

Be prepared for unquenchable hunger in every imaginable sense as the passion within you longs to be quenched, relished, and realized.

Passion is found, and expressed or exuded, in a number of ways.  And this month, it’ll show up (right alongside Lilith), wild and hedonistic, in the areas of sex/romance, food (and drink), rage and other unbridled or forbidden emotions, and ranting- or expression without abandon.

And this is a good thing.  After decades of repression, Lilith takes the helm to lead you out of the contained, rational, pre-portioned overly suppressed dogma for living passed down through your ancestors and full-blown ahead into the glory of what it really means to live.

A word of caution this month: Lilith takes no prisoners, so be watchful of your words, thoughtful in your actions, and intentional about where you allow your meandering and sure-to-be-provoked irritations and frustrations to lead you.  After all, even though you are wanting to allow all of these repressed and long-suffering aspects of yours out to play and allowing for fuller expression of You is what you’re being called to do right now (in what will surely be an expansion of self as Lilith chimes in), we are also learning to cultivate within our lives a greater sense of compassion and responsibility for how our actions affect the whole.

So though you may feel limitless as expansion unfolds and tout the beleif that no rules appy, where you tred, and who you effect in the process, matters.  We are outgrowing our Oedipus stage, our ‘me-me-me-me-ness”, our egocentricity.  And we are learning to open to others and be considerate and respectful of them in a greater way (fourth chakra, heart values).  So it is your job to temper your evolving and emerging (or reborn) Lilith with the mindfulness of your evolving heart-centered comprehension of Oneness and your resolve to mature and be responsible for not only how you effect others but how you effect you (or at the very least, become aware or conscious of the fact that you do).

Loving fully means embracing all of your parts (no exceptions) and everyone else’s.  it’s about acceptance and allowing for your self to be shown a new way.  As we step trhough this exhilarating month of expansion, we will be given ample opportunities to see what’s been lying under the surface, what we’ve shielded our eyes (and our hearts) from, and where we have left to grow- in all areas of love.

Welcome the lessons, and the gifts, of Lilith as she shines her light on our hearts and crawls out from the depths of the ages.  Primal everything (behavior, emotion, reactions, thoughts) will be experienced a we release the generations of ancestors who were taught (and in some ways forced) to withhold their most decadent and provocative authentic natures. Relish in the reinstated Bohemian Lesse-Fare as expression reigns over oppression/repression and the deeper aspects of our beings are exposed and brought to the world to see.

Remember that it’s beneath the hidden parts of our selves that the truest force lies.  There hides the beauty of our most unique selves and the treasure we’ve kept locked away within closed or guarded hearts for all of eternity.

Let the siren song of mermaid Lilith take you deep so that you can excavate the wonders of you from the waters of your being and let the expansive heart energy of this month lend you the courage to shine bright and express robust.

Let your passions run wild with you as you unleash your greatest longings.  And I have a feeling you’ll be pleasantly surprised as you attempt to expand responsibly, that that fear you’ve held onto- the one that’s really gotten in the way- the one about someone (or yourself) being hurt if your really let your self be seen- you'' see that you can handle it- and beyond that, you can handle more than you dreamed. You've grown. You've expanded, already. You are more and you know how to Be out there without it treading on anyone else's toes. You know that Being for you isn't selfish, it's sublime. You know that it is our right, and our honor, to thrive in this way. You are no longer a child who needs constant guidance and direction in order to get it right.  You know what to do, and you are mature enough to be sure that you can maneuver in the world sans the notion of sin or the need to contain all of your 'uglies'. In owning your 'uglies' you come into your own and it's there that the All of you can begin to express in a much, much more powerful way.

This is a time of the young and the old mingling as all of your worlds collide.  So on your mark, get ready, ‘cuz you are about to take a reamarkable trip inside.  And better yet, as the month winds down and we eclipse the fifth chakra elements of Creation- not only will you be showing off your excavations for all to see, you’ll begin wielding your magic wand to bring forth what you couldn’t before you un-sunk the treasures from the deep.

It’s a magic month of wonder and surprise. Dive in and strive for fully expressed and you’ll experience it best. Be you, most fully, and in everything- be Love.

Love, wonder, and grace,
~Rhonda

The Energy Forecast for March 30th~ Pulsing Freedom, Create at Will!

The energy forecast for today...

There is a fountain of rainbow light coming out forth from the top of our heads.  This symbolizes creating from the heart energy, creating as if we are gods. And we are, aren't we?  So why not? Why not create, with intention, as if we are gods who have no restrictions, limitations, of reasons to do any other than create, at will, our desires and most coveted manifestations? So ask yourself today, 'why not?' and 'what's stopping you?' but don't get stuck in those deliberations, go beyond them and carry forward the remarkable free flowing rainbow energy to create at will. Wonder at what is possible. Be free in your endeavors. Listen with your heart, over your mind, and flow. Don't think, just flow. Free flow, anybody? Hell yes! I'll take some free flowing powerful rock star energy and create in the God-ness that I Am and all that I've dreamed for, all that is in the name of my dreams, of my heart, of my deepest longings, of my truest essence.

A powerful day to you! Shine forth and live it not like any other but like it's the first day of the rest of your lives. It is, after all, perhaps the first day that you dared live like this. Go forth. Create. Care free bringing forth and painting your canvas. Be true to you. Bring forth the energy of the rainbow, of all systems and chakras aligned and radiate your truth, all systems go!

To your wonder and power and the grace of the flow that comes forth through you and out into the world as your beautiful presence of I Am peace!

May this day be remarkable!
May this day set the pace for the rest of this powerful year and the incoming month.

Love and goodness,
~Rhonda

The Energy Forecast for March 29th~Clearing Out the Pipes and Radiating You; The Chakra Connection


The energy forecast for today…

They are showing me the chakra body, the rainbow bridge, and surrounding that is a tube.  There is, in fact, a tube in which the chakras reside. This tube extends the length of your body and then outward toward heaven and toward Earth, reaching in both directions to anchor you into the Source of energy that drives you.  Today, the tube appears empty as it reaches outward from the head and from your root. Though there are external chakras, or chakras that are beyond your physical body, above and below, these chakras do not appear in this image, which tells me that we are focused on the seven basic chakras today and upon both how well they are functioning and what we can do to improve their flow.

The chakra flow is influenced by Everything you do.  It is affected by what you take in and what you put out.  It’s affected by what you eat, how much rest you get, what you think, what you feel, what you believe, what you do, and what you say. What you do on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level effects the state of your chakra system. Simultaneously, what is happening within your chakras has an influence on your entire energy system and determines much of what you feel and do.

So, today, we are reminded to become intentionally conscious about how we are caring for ourselves, how we are living our lives, and what we are putting out into the world and taking in. We are asked to take a good look at what choices we are making, and beyond that, take action towards making a shift toward better alignment and greater balance so that we can be more optimal.

Take inventory of your lives and be honest about what you can no longer afford to let slide. Take action toward supporting greater health, on all levels, and the bi-product of a vibrant chakra system will support your forward movement. The chakras are integral to our well-being. And there is much we can do to influence their state of being. 

We are responsible for our lives and leaving that responsibility up to someone or something else no longer serves us. The level of your total well-being will be reflected in your life through your state of circumstances in which you currently find yourself. Avoid blaming others, or Life, for what is transpiring (or isn’t) and make the changes that will create the harmony within your being. You know what you need to do. The changes you need to make happen, the areas you need to move on have been in orbit in your awareness, and your reality, for some time. Stop putting it off and just do. Even one change today will move you further into alignment and out of the resistance field of your ‘wanting to stay stuck in the familiar and same’ ego, which will give you the momentum you need to move forward in the other areas too.

There is a blue field of energy surrounding the upper body and radiating up beyond the head which represents the ethereal field. You have much assistance in creating abundance of change. It is difficult, at times, to know what is yours to do and what to surrender to Source.  The art of co-creating is about learning to do what you can and doing your best through living in integrity with your highest values and aspirations and then giving the rest to God. You don’t have to do it all, but you have to do something.  After all, we are here to experience and experience comes through doing and being here on Earth, not just waiting around for something to happen. But there is a nuance to learning or figuring out just when to do and just when to be (or surrender), and that nuance is learned in time. Play around with that this week and over the next couple of days so that you can become an active and more efficient co-creator in your life.

Know that you are greatly supported at this time especially in your endeavors, and take advantage of that support system by calling on your guides and angels and putting them to work for you.  Ask for guidance, ask for support, ask to be basked in their love and joy so that you can feel the wonder of who you are and Remember the power within.  Ask for direction in clearing and aligning your chakra body and in getting into a more powerful stance to direct your life.  Ask for clues and synchronicities to abound so that you can be certain of which way to go. And then be willing to be still and pay attention so that these signs and symbols are not lost on you as they pour in.  Ask to be shown which parts are for you to control or take action on and which are for Creator to take care of. Be purposeful about what you desire and take it seriously enough, take yourself seriously enough, to know that what you desire and what you detest Matters, and know that you can make a difference in your life, even if you havn’t felt like you’ve been very effective before.

The energy of right now supports change and growth.  This is when the angels really come out to play in great numbers- in the moments of birth, rebirth, and death. There’s no denying there is great change going on, within your being and within your lives. These portals, or windows, of opportunity are here for you to take advantage of, so ride on the wave of momentum and allow it to accelerate your chances of creating what you desire.

Part of creating what we desire is getting clear about what stands in the way.  The tube that surrounds the charkas is highlighted today because it is the focus of the energetic work that is going on.  And though you are asked to take stock of what needs to be corrected and take action to create change, much of the work is being done for you so that you can move into alignment with where you desire to be (soul). So give thanks and allow for the reconstruction to occur. If you sense underlying chaos coming to the surface or feel tired, take care of yourself, knowing that much work is being done. It is normal to feel irritable during these times of great change.  You are being moved, and change can be unsettling to all aspects of your being.

Perhaps that is why a teddy bear also appears in the energy vibration of today, as we are told to take comfort in whatever form that appears. Be gentle with you and with others, knowing that they too are under construction. The energy today is less dynamic outwardly, but still very powerful on the inner plane. Remain clear about what you desire and resist the urge or the impulse to doubt yourself or your dreams as that energy only seems to get in the way of making manifest what you came here to do and be.

Practice breathing into the tube that surrounds the rainbow bridge, breathing in and out as you imagine the breathe going up and down the vertical path of your evolution, of your energy body. Breathing in the life force and breathing into alignment, restoring and replenishing, as you care for your Self in an intentional and deliberate way. The breath is a powerful force, and it’s one thing that you can do (through focus and conscious breathing) to take action toward creating the harmony within that you desire.  Remember that we breath shallow when we are afraid to embrace life and feel deeply what resides within. Breathe into those fears today, breathe into life.  It’s yours.  Live it. Breathe it.  Become it.  And that diving into your life in a focused and intentional way will show through outwardly in your circumstances as they begin to reflect that transformation within.

The chakra bridge (from head to root) becomes a rainbow circle to show you that each affects the all. When one chakra is blocked, it changes the energy of the rest. When a chakra becomes balanced, it radiates out to the all, shining it’s life force out in every direction, creating harmony for the all.  The state of your chakras affects your aura and all of the many ethereal bodies which surround you, which in turn affects your everything that you experience. The higher chakras, beyond and below the body, cannot be activated until the main chakras within are in alignment and cleansed. And accessing your higher chakras connects you with the true power of who and what you are. The power of the chakras and their effect on your overall well-being cannot be underestimated. Create harmony by connecting with these powerful energy centers and listening to what they desire to come more into balance and flow. There is much wisdom to be gained by communicating with your higher Self in this way and this internal communication is a powerful tool to use in moving forward.

Be the power within by sourcing it and take advantage of the powerful forces that surround you today in implementing the change and the action and the radiance that you desire. You are the power.  You are the force. Be on purpose and let that light shine through, allowing it to guide you in clearing a path to your destiny. It’s there.  Its’ waiting.  Break through.

Be loving.
Be grace.
Be You. It's what you came for.

In remembrance of all that is good and in honor of the power to be,
~Rhonda

The Energy Forecast for March 28th~The High Heart, Mother Mary, and Unconditional Joy


The energy forecast for today…

The high heart, enveloped in a radiant glow of light which represents purity. In this image, it’s anchored over or floating above the head. This is about coming from a higher place, choosing (intentionally) how you are going to live, choosing to be pure- in your intentions, in your actions, in your will. No more rolling over and playing dead.  No more giving it a go and giving up.  What do you stand for?  I mean really? What are your ideals. What are you in the name of, in your life, what does it mean to Be you, to carry out the terms of your service in this form that you have chosen this time around?  It’s time to get serious, and on purpose, about what you came to do and why you’re here. The energy of today is about clearing and aligning intentionally.

All grievances block the Light. If you are holding onto the past, assigning blame, labeling and judging (yourself or another, as well as relationships and ventures in which you’ve found yourself or haven’t) realize that that energy, over time, becomes abusive.  It holds you in a state of shame, or wrongness, and disallows you to be free.  It captures you in the energy of remorse, of what was or should have been, and it’s all based on the illusion of doubt in all being divinely played.

Mother Mary comes in strong today, her outreaching hand cutting through the thickness of grievances and illusions in order to be and remain clear and pure of heart.

The higher heart is about higher integrity and holding self to higher standards of what you intend to align with. You have to choose peace in order to have, and even want, joy. As long as you are siding with your grievances, those deliciously tempting contemplations that deliver you into the arms of evil (or seperation from Self and God), you are choosing ‘not peace', and you are delivering yourself from Joy.  Joy is your birthright, it’s your natural state of being.  So every time you side with what is not joy, you are out of alignment with your Self.

There’s a lot of talk about aspiring to unconditional love, but what about unconditional joy? What about folding back into a state of being that allows for a natural flow?  Unconditional joy requires, and actually is, an attunement in grace.  Make it your intention to pull from and move into a higher way of being over what wants to dominate (inner chatter), and for no reason at all.  You don’t have to align with any dissonance or discord.  Just acknowledge it and release. Be in joy just because of choosing it, or aligning with it rather than for a reason, rather than as a result. There is no cause for joy, it's a state of being, as is love, as is peace, and it doesn't require that something takes place in order for it to be other than that something being allowing the state of being to be. Be in joy just because. Yet understand that if there are grievances within your heart, there is a part of you that wants to be heard.

Part of your self feels wronged, which is why grievances pursue justice and persist.  They want to be acknowledged (heard), and witnessed.  But just as in relationship, when you’re disappointed, disillusioned, dis-graced (or brought out of center), you have to move on (forgive or make right) in order to full-fill, in order to top self off with love rather than fear or pain.

There’s an energy of believing that you’ll never have the thing you desire if you haven’t had it or it hasn’t been there for you thus far. If you’ve been deprived of happiness, dreams, or joy, if you haven’t been satisfied (satiated) with what you’re living, there’s a desire there that’s strong (and saddened) at the realization of not being filled, fulfilled, played out. There’s an energy to what you’ve created within your heart, within your mind’s imagination, within that something you desire.  And if it hasn’t been allowed to manifest or come to fruition, there is a loss, and a longing, for what hasn’t been that actually exists somewhere within you but hasn’t come to life.

You have to go beyond belief of ‘not having’ (which brings up all of that unworthy energy), to someday will.  Just because you haven’t doesn’t mean you won’t.  And what needs to shift in order to manifest isn’t simply or only the situation which you are in, but the belief (that it can) which creates an opening.  And in order to make way for the opening you have to let go of what’s been. Otherwise it remains in the energy field (as grievances) and blocks the Light (what you desire or wish to align with, and already do align with on a soul level) from coming in.

Believe in the dream.  Vision it.  Aspire to it.  Let it take you higher.  Let it be your flow and the diffusing agent of what’s been so you can move higher into the high heart of imagining peace, love and joy. And those aren’t just words, those are actual states of being form which you can create purposefully from in your everyday state if you are conscious and intentional about aligning with them over lower states of being. Choose higher, will yourself to go into higher ways of being, and make it so.

Be intentional about where you spend your time and energy today. As with the Mother Mary energy (the mother energy) whose hand guides the flow, directs it, be gentle but firm with your self about where you focus your self and what you will allow in and out, what you will allow yourself to be effected by and where you channel your flow. 

Mother Mary’s heart is aglow, reminding us to lead with our hearts, to be pure of heart.  Halo over her head represents the grace-full state, the surrender with which she is guided.  Mary said yes to God’s plan for her without hesitation, without stipulation.  It is your job now (or your choice) to say yes, unequivocally, and fold into the hand of God or continually drag your feet deliberating in doubt. Let your halo, your rising sun, your Light radiating from your being, wash away the pain and the fear so that you are no longer blocking what is rightfully coming to you.

There is a lot of barbaric energy today.  It’s primal.  So let bursts of rage, irritation, frustration be utilized and directed into a power and force to get things done.  Use this energy to direct your flow, channeling it into creating purposefully rather than misdirecting it (or letting it direct you) into destabilizing anxiety or irriation.  Be on the mark, focused, centered, deliberate and determined today and the energy (though iradic but strong) can be used greatly to your advantage.  It is a powerful day of creation.  Create with intent.

Yesterday was a void day, a day in between.  Void days are days in between time and space, days after endings and before beginnings where everything discombobulates and comes together. On days like this (yesterday’s void day) just allow and let be, even though it can be a little (and sometimes a lot) uncomfortable as you open to being re-fitted and adjusted for the next thing.  If you are aware of this energy, it can be very productive as you lay in wait for what’s on the way and allow for what’s been to further wash away.  The day after a void day (today) can be extremely rejuvenating- like you’ve been given new life (and you have, as you’ve been rebirthed once again).  It is a day to charge forth and create and it is also a day to make it so (whatever you’ve been dreaming of or desiring). It’s a green light day, a day to make it go. You may also experience the birthing of what you’ve desired as manifestations come to life after the gestation phase you’ve just exited. Expect miracles, milestones, and the majestic.  Bathe in the flow.  Be on purpose.  And know what ya know.  Remember to bask in the halo, give over what you don’t know (all uncertainties and doubts ).  You are the CEO. You are the executive director of You in this life.  You have accountants (angels) and advisors (guides) who can handle all of the mundane aspects of running your company (life). Give those aspects (the details) over to the ones who know what to do with them and focus on what you know…the visions within your heart.  Search the chambers of your heart for what you truly desire if you don’t know already, then aim high and let the arrow of your intention (and your energy) flow.

Numerological, it’s a ten day, a God day.  You’re on the money, you’re exact, you’re in alignment, you are Divine.  Take advantage of this alignment, create with the grace of Mother Mary, and the ease of the one who knows. You are divine already. Today’s the day to Act like it and let everything else (that isn’t God) go.

Namaste. 

May you see and feel and rise to Being the light within you as you begin to open to the majesty of your life.

In loving grace,
~Rhonda

Seeing 'I' through the 'We' and Finding Your Way Back to Me


Seeing ‘I’ through ‘We’, through pleasing, is how we loose ourselves in the world.  Longing for belonging crates a shaft in our aura, creates a window that lets out our soul, lets in a draft and leaks away all of our power.  It creates subservience that dominates our will.  And when a life lived in the name of creating sustenance from the vein of acceptance is all said and done, the one who mattered most feels like they have all but dried up and gone. It's hard, after all, to accept yourself when you know you're giving yourself away.

Eventually, you have to step up to the plate and step into the role of authority in your life- authority for and to you.  This is called owning. You have to make your decisions and carve out your choices based on your own authentic truth.  And when you don’t know what that truth is or can’t see it because it’s so muddled by everyone else’s, it’s time to pull back and ask for reform. You have to reform your method of operation so that it reflects your values rather than recreating the feedback of habitual patterns. You have to own your choices by becoming conscious of them and then disciplined enough to align them with what matters most to you in order to create your truth.

There comes a time when you realize no matter how long you’ve been marching in those boots or how solidified you’ve been in marching to the beat of everyone else’s drum, that the marching must come to a halt. And rather than marching on, faithfully like a good little soldier, you have to become selective about the source of your marching orders.

Go inward. Seek the wisdom of your soul.  Disable all of the chords and connections to everyone out there whom you’ve put in charge of your direct flow.  You are not a little child who needs to be told what to do.  It is not everyone else’s job to guide you, to make your choices, to direct your life.  It’s yours. Honor that.  Respect it. So many of us are still waiting for permission to take our lives by the reins and live them and we don’t even know why we’ve given them up.  You are giving away your God-given power though to everyone/thing else every time you pass on making choices. When you base your lives on what others think, feel, and do, you are out-sourcing your power and you can very well feel that diminished sense of self right there in your belly (third chakra). Chances are, you are aware that you’re living in this co-dependent state, but more than likely you’re not really sure why you’re still doing it or how to switch it into a more empowered way of being

Let’s take a look at where and when it begins. There’s a lot of directive in the flow of the development of the charkas and the distortions that happen throughout our development most certainly direct our flow (or not flow) through the rest of the stages of our lives.  In fact, what happened then is directly effecting you now, and will continue to effect you and guide your choices until you can bring awareness (consciousness and light) to it and begin to dispel the myths you’ve been living under.

In the first chakra, the root, where we create a sense of our identity, it is all about gratification and self-sustenance. We seek to get our needs met from another because, in infantile stages, it can be no other way.  We are reliant and dependent on other to meet our needs and to ‘tell’ us who we are based on their reflection and response to us. And here, when we don’t get our needs met or don’t get the message that we matter, we begin to develop layers of the all-immobilizing shame, which tells us that we did not get needs met or don’t matter because we are wrong, or not good enough. And here, we begin the foundation for continuing to create imbalance based on the belief that is formed, not only that we are not good enough for the love of others, but that we are not good enough to receive the love of God. Here, we become separate, we sever our connection to Source, in shame, and without that connection in tact, we are forever searching for another power outlet.

In the second chakra, we begin to develop more intimate relationships and shape our view of what relationships mean.  If we are inhibited or restricted in this stage of our development, if we are unable to bond or connect in the ways that we need of lack the intimacy that’s necessary for our understanding of healthy exchange of self, we can become thwarted and are ever seeking communion, connection, and fusion.  We then deepen our already existing shame-based perceptions about being good enough to be received. And we continue to seek gratification and connection in unhealthy and imbalanced ways as our search becomes a seeking that is ungratifiable because no one or thing can fill us in the way that the Light can, and when we turn away from the light, we are chased by a sense of ensuing darkness.

So by the time we begin developing the third chakra, we have already been unplugged.  Our unbiblical chord that streams to Source is severed in first chakra time due to feelings of not being worthy of the Light.  In second chakra time, though we try to plug into others, conditions are distorted or thwarted which further offsets our understanding of who we are and how free we feel to embrace life (or our right to live it- otherwise known as empowerment).

In third chakra (the highlighted chakra for this month), as we attempt to individuate, we struggle because we have lost the connection to our Source and our Selves.  We have forgotten our power (our divinity) and have lost connection to it’s truest source. And when we try to manipulate or control our world in order to make sense of it and find or establish our authority, we end up feeling frustrated or coming up short because ‘out there’ isn’t where the power lies. Since we have early on lost connection with our selves and faith in who we are and have come to believe that we are not only separate but unworthy of the love we so desperately need to receive, we begin a perpetual search for the ‘filler’ that will replace the ‘hole’ whose only antidote is wholeness and a return to the original power source of the divine.

As some point, we must learn that we can’t remain in wounded child stance forever.  We eventually and ultimately have to assume the role of actualized adult.  The ascension process isn’t only about spirituality, it’s about maturity. This means that we own our lives, and not only take responsibility for our actions but also for the underlying belief systems that create and make them so.  This means that we enact our will and use it to direct our lives (intentionally) through discipline and perseverance rather than tantrumming and throwing fits or remaining a victim to chance and fate.  This means that we set our focus on accomplishing what we desire by plugging back in to our internal source of power and stop giving it away to circumstance and innocent bystanders.

If you’ve grown tired of the same old scenarios, power plays, and mellow dramas, then it’s time to redirect your attention, reconfigure your stance and fuel from within.

Alike and equal are not the same thing.  We don’t have to conform to the norm in order to be ok.  We don’t have to ‘be’ what we think we’re wanted to be in oder to be enough, to be loved, in order to be equivalent of love, in order to equal love.

We already Are equal- we are One.  We are enough.  We are abundant in who we are, as we are- without giving into a collective idea about who or what we need to be.  Knowing this helps us to individuate in a way where we can find ourselves and go beyond the conformity that we’ve bound ourselves to and into the divinity of our purest expression.  Knowing this releases us from the need to be something we’re not.  Living this restores our breath to full capacity and our hearts to the rhythmic beat of self-love.  Being this- being true- emulates the largeness that we’ve always longed for.

We already belong, by way of being part of the All.  Nothing and no one can change that. It’s intrinsically part of our nature.  It’s who we are.  We are All children of God and we belong to One Another and nothing can take that away from us.  And though we need (biologically) to experience belonging as a member of the human family, in human form, beyond our spiritual legacy of connectivity, perhaps knowing (remembering) our belong as a species, as spirits, as God sparks, will help us soften in our evolution of finding our way back to ourselves.  And in doing so, we are assured the path back into the loving arms of the soul tribe that awaits us and to the heart of humanity that has always been (simply without all of the stipulations of it needing to be about meeting needs or being a certain way in order to be ok). Let go of the expectations (of yourself and one another).  It's time to reconnect to our own power grid within and live from that place, radiating outward, and make our way from there- as it was intended to be. And though we've forgotten our way, we're remembering our way back again, and we are growing stronger in the momentum of this rediscovery every day. Nourish it. Believe in the power of living from that place. And as you fold back into the power of you and uncover the strength and the beauty that lies there, and you begin to drink from the essence that is your uniqueness, you will find yourself wondering how it ever could have been any other way.

Silly creatures we are!

Find your way back to you today, and stay there for a while. Love it a little longer each time you return.

To the beauty of you and to your abundance in life!
Namaste!

In loving grace,
~Rhonda
