The Energy Forecast for Feb.14, 2012~ The Marhmallow, The Spiral Staircase, and The Waterlily ~Did I love? Did I matter? Did I live?~

The energy forecast for today is …

Marshmallow.  Soften.  Soften to the love that is all around and within you. Become a conduit of it.  Become an antennae.  If even for today, if just for a little bit, allow for yourself to become saturated enough in love that you unquestionably emit it.  Radiate it from your core. Soar.  Be the vessel. Let it come through you and to you and envision the possibility of it flowing, heart to heart, soul to soul,  in never-ending abundance .

You may be feeling a great heart opening today as you tap into this holiday in honor of love and heart celebration.  You may be buoyed by the force of the collective love vibration as it echoes through the land.  Allow for the heart openings that present as you’re inspired to feel fuller and deeper amore and expand your gratitude for the loved ones with whom you’ve been blessed.

You may, as well, be feeling the grief (individual and/or collective) of all the love that’s gone wrong.  This gone-wrong love may be your own story and it may be a piece of the human experience- a humanity that for the most part has focused more on the priority to protect the heart at all costs than the perpensity of love prevails.  Allow for the grief to wash through, to be embraced, and to be put to rest.  There are stories and emotions within you that still hold a lot of weight and honoring their presence not only soothes  (on some level, through accepting and recognition) your aching heart, it gives you a chance to reflect.  And in this reflection, you may find that these stories and their weight are something you wish to leave behind.  For the priority of stepping up and stepping into a higher vibration of none other than love keeps a’callin’, and even though that grief is knockin’, it’s time to get these priorities strait.  Let love in.  It’s not a sin.  It’s a saving grace.  And if you sail on the ship of love, your heart will be set free.  You no longer need to stay locked inside, away from the wonder of ‘feel’.  For, to open and let your heart song take flight is a gift to the world revealed.

And in this month that’s all about relationships, you’re going to see how you are in relation to others.  You’re going to get a real clear glimpse of where you’ve allowed yourself to expand (heart wise) and will be zoomed in for (uncomfortable?) microscopic examination of where you’ve fallen back into retreat.

As you’re walking in the waters of emotion that invariably pool when and where relationships are concerned (or any matter of the heart, for that matter), you can let your life (or your experience) be watered down by the vivid examples of where you fall short (from reaching your potential love quota) or you can choose to let those ways of being expire and let the emotion of what it means to not be connected inspire you to rise beyond what's kept you separate.

Like the water lily, allow your roots, your base, to be the emotional inspiration of wanting to experience love deeper, and allow for that wanting to be your impetus rather than your demise or the means for your defeat.

It’s all too easy to look towards your relationship as the cause of your love-less effect.  But the root of the matter is never an other, it’s your basis for remaining closed or protected that keeps you off set.

To go beyond where you’ve been, you have to leave the past behind.  The past, in love, only serves to bind.  And if it’s deeper love you seek, you’ve got to go beyond the position of ‘weak’.  You are a powerful being whose capacity for love is sublime. Open to this and great joy you will find.

If, however, you’ve lost that lovin’ feeling and you’re thinking more about endings than beginnings or running away rather than into a certain someone’s arms at this time, realize that it is the pain that’s been lugged around that you’re running from because the weight of the pain is to great to bare. There’s a lot of grief in not loving, in not opening fully.  And if you’re honest with yourself in reflection, you will penetrate a not-so comfortable truth about the capacity with which you’ve allowed yourself to be love. The pain of who we are (shame) coupled with the pain of restrain (withholding love/separation), topped with the cherry of our intrinsic and most basic need to be on both the receiving and the giving end of love is a mound that’s hard to mount, less overcome and release.  But being with it, holding compassion for our losses, our shortcomings, and our pain, and enveloping it all in the fold of unconditional allowing creates a flow of grace that sustains the plateau to the higher plane.

To be or not to be love, that is the question. Or is it? Is it possible to be love and not love all within the same breath?  Is it possible to be both tapped in and disconnected? Is it possible to open yet be closed? In our human form and state of constant evolution, we are both, yet neither exclusively. We are male and female.  We are rising and falling. We are lost and found.  We are dying and reborn within each moment of time. And so, our capacity for experiencing love, our capacity to be stretched is ever shifting and expanding as we meet each day with its opportunities to grow beyond where we’ve been and connect further with who we truly are. And in the deeper connection with self, we discover how to connect more fully with another.

What gets in the way of being able to walk the talk of the spiritual concepts that we know, what keeps us from being able to Live them is what we’ve lived.  We base everything on what we’ve known.  It’s human nature. It’s part of our programming.  But unless and until we decide to upgrade to a newer version of human, where protocol for Life is no longer based on past experiences but on the total trust of the unfolding and what will evolve in the now, we are destined to create an unsettling fate. As long as we’re living based on the past, we can’t really create the future, we just keep repeating more of what’s been.

So how to move on and move upward and into upgraded version of You? You need to let go. It’s really about choice. What’s more important, being right or being in alignment with your Truth?  

Big difference.  Being right is about being in fear.  Being in Truth is about loving yourself enough to evolve and live from that place.  Being right is about proving. Being in Truth is about honoring a knowing.  Being right is about questioning.  Being in Truth is about belief.  So you see how this will set us up for a fall, this need to prove, to base your life on evidence that you’re going to get hurt again, that it’s not safe to trust, that the world is an unfair place.  And you know that buying into that paradigm, the one you’ve bought into for too long, induces a state of helplessness and despair that makes living not really worth living anyway.  It makes living dying, and it’s a testimony to defeat. To put it another way, you can’t Be beyond until you reach into your heart and find something more.

When you become exalted enough to go beyond that, at the risk of falling, at the risk of being betrayed, without the need for guarantees, you open up to the windfall of possibilities that have been waiting for you to play into their field.  Do you get that? Do you sense that on some level, because it’s true. There is a whole new reality out there just waiting for the day that you set down the ‘truth’ that you’ve been fed and taste the freedom on the other side of fear.

And it is at that point that our relationships become whole-hearted and loving.  It is in that moment that our dreams are fulfilled. It is when and only if we say yes to the magic and the miracle that has no bias in proof, that simply Is, that we begin to truly live.

The spiral staircase we are upon leads us higher into the potential of unrequetted divine love.  All the twists and turns of the upward climb are about the untangling we have to do along the way.  Let yourself be unwound and your heart will be found.  There is no more powerful you than the you that knows love.

As alluring and compelling as the barbwire trellises of self-protection are, set down your sword and offer a rose instead.  You don’t have to fight so hard for your life, for your love, for your honor, for your everything.  Flee from fear and love instead.  You know you want to.  Even though you’re scared, you long to open up to the world, to another, and let all that reciprical love in.

And when you do, when you open upwithout reserve, without contingency or hesitation, you will find purpose in love, as yo’ve found purpose in the hidden identity of self-protect.  And you will see how your love matters and you will see what love begets.

If the three most important questions when you die (or in life) are ‘Did I love?’, ‘Did I matter?’ and ‘Did I live?’, what would your score be on that test? If that’s what we’re here to do and we know we’re the ones in our own way (be honest) then the only thing left to think about is 'What's more important than you busting into the most brilliant and boyant version of the YOU that there is?'

Sit with that.  For a while.  And when you’re done arguing with yourself and defending your defense, go get your love on, go get your life, and become the matter that makes the mark and the difference.

Enough said.

Love, sweet Love to all and everyone!

And in the name of Valentine's Day, I'm now offering a special on Reconnection Sessions. Connect deeper with self or another and get to the heart of what's keeping that love at bay. Treat yourself, or a loved one. And in the name of love, the offer's valid until the end of February. Make the shift. Give the gift of love today. 

Be abundant and be blessed!

In loving grace,

~Rhonda

The Energy Forecast for Feb. 12~ Restored to Truth

The energy forecast for today is…

a meteor shower. You may be feeling the effects of a LOT of stuff coming to the surface (or into consciousness) to be SEEN right now.  And, at times, that can be overwhelming.  Know that there is purpose to all things, and that the reason and the rhyme of this stuff coming into your awareness is so that it can gooooooooooo. And I’m going to tell you just how you can expedite that release.

So if you are being bombarded, or triggered, or are being shown all of the things that may point to the past, or the uncomfortable present, to your failures, to your undoing, to your unbecoming, to your not-so-greatest moments…and the list goes on, and on days like today, it goes on, and on with no end. Until, you may feel like you’ve simply had enough!

Agreed. Enough is enough. Cycling through the same old patterns of the same old stuff that keeps coming up for a glimpse again is no one’s idea of fun. The age old question has been…how do you shift out of the muck?

You shift through release. You shift through moving into something higher.  'But how', you ask? 'Easy', I say. You begin by recognizing that you are in the space of the ‘stuff’ that you are falling for and under the spell of and falling down the slippery slope of shame. Yep, shame is at the core of allllllll of our stuff.  It is the thing that makes you believe that there’s something wrong with you.  No matter whether you’re focused on someone else, or something other than your self, it all points back in the same direction, and ultimately, if you are triggered, you are being prompted to look, again, at You.

In order to get out of the space where you’re feeling bad, where you’re disconnected, where you’re buying into the belief system that says that you’re wrong, that you’re bad, that everything is hopeless, you need to stop and ask yourself if this is a loving place to be. Obviously it's not, if you’re feeling bad, and you’re beating yourself up, or full of anger towards someone else, or hating on your life.  If you're feeling any of this, then you’re not coming from love.

So, just recognizing that is enough to help you eject for the moment and realize that you’ve got to try something new.  Once, realizing you’re not coming from a loving place, recognize that it's time to forgive.  Drop into a place of forgiveness. Forgive yourself for not being loving.  Forgive all of your past mistakes.  Forgive everyone else's.  Forgive all of the things you’ve done, and the things you haven’t.   Forgive your belief in you being so horrible or so wrong.  Forgive, and then forgive some more again.  And just intending to forgive is really all you have to do in this moment.  Just going to a place of forgiveness and opening up that door is enough.  Even if you don’t feel like you get very far with it, going into forgiveness will help set you free.  To forgive is to let go, to set free, to release. Forgiveness is the first step. (But not the last.)

Once you have allowed yourself to slide into the place of release, and forgive, once you have loved yourself enough to eject from the doom and gloom of the trigger effect, you can then move on up higher into the space of love.  Love overrides fear.  Love washes you clean.  Remain in this space for a bit and let it soak in, allowing for the guilt and the shame and coarseness of the lower vibration to begin to fade away.  You have loved yourself enough to forgive, to let go. Now love yourself a little more. Bring in self-love.  Bring in compassion. Bring in boundaries with self and set limits with the depths of self-destruction you'll allow yourself to go into. It's not a loving act to get swallowed by self-hatred, by fear, by resentment, or regret.  Self-love yourself enough to release.

As you begin to feel the expansion of love, and the peace of forgiveness, allow yourself to move into the space of joy.  You don’t need to control or fix anything. You are not powerless in making things right.  You are empowered by the ract that you restored yourself through forgiveness and love. Contrary to what your ego/mind may seem to be telling you or that your triggers are pointing in the direction of, shame and guilt and fear are not the way. The way is to See the point of the trigger, which is to release and create more space. And since you are moving into doing that now, allow yourself to feel the joy again that is your natural center and your core.

From joy, you can continue moving upward into a place of connection.  Often we become disconnected once we stay too long in fear.  We become disconnected from ourselves out of shame, we become disconnected from others out of shame and reflected anger or fear, and we become disconnected from Life out of feelings of discouragement and despair.  Once we become disconnected, we become depressed.  We have to open back up to life, to one another, and to ourselves in order to feel the flow of life again. Allow yourself to open back up again and connect. Allow life and love back in.

Now, move back into the helm of creator of life rather than focusing on the death of possibilities, opportunities, and potential.  Rather than mourning the loss, retrieve the parts and the pieces that were lost in experiences or abandoned through shame and fear and come back into wholeness. Rather than focus on what you've created by default (or in fault) choose to see what you have the potential to create in this present and move into the NOW.

Next, move into higher knowing, higher reason for experiences and SEE the ‘bigger picture’ of life by letting go of doubt and confusion and the insanity of being steeped in shame, guilt, depression, and fear.  Here you can enter a place of Trusting in purpose and the divinity of the plan. (There are no mistakes, remember?). Here you can tap into a Knowing that All is Exactly as it needs to be and All is divine.  By wiling yourself to let go of detrimental patterns, thoughts, behaviors and moving into that which is in alignment with your greater good, you can See clearly again, beyond illusions, into the purpose of them being shown to you so that you can acknowledge them and release.

Then you can enter a space of freedom, where you can reconnect with the All to see that you are sinless, you are God, you are Divine. By moving back into the Truth of who you are, moving beyond belief into Being that, you can shift out of the identity of the false, eternally-flawed self and the need for repentance and redemption as a lesser being. Taste again the fruit of your Greatness and coming running back into the arms of the majestic and glorious being that is YOU, that is truth.

If you find it difficult to ascend in the last layer of this exercise, call on your higher self for help and purification and illumination, bringing in light, joy, love, truth, and peace. Letting this light and love wash over you and bathe you until you begin again, to feel peace.

The purpose of this method of shift is not only to excavate you from slipping into your depths but to show you that you cannot See apart from God because you cannot Be apart from God.  Your perception ( your triggers, thoughts, beliefs, regrets) become purified that it will lead to knowledge and truth. ( last two quote from a Course in Miracles). Once you are brought back into the Light, then you can see it’s (the trigger’s) function in Truth. It’s purpose is to bring you back to God from whence you have strayed.

Be blessed in your movement back into alignment with You and into reconnection with peace. 

Many blessings and bundles of grace,

~Rhonda

Energy Forecast for Feb.10,2012~EXPRESS!!!

The energy forecast for today is...

A wide open mouth symbolizing expression, without reserve. Too long, for too many this has meant the silent scream. Now it’s intention is to prod us into communication, into creation through expression, into finding our way back to whole again.

Without our voice, who are we?  Our indistinguishable and most individual voice is unique to who we are. Yet we hide behind a lesser version, a meeker stance, of who we are, of what we desire, and ultimately, of what we represent.

To rise to a place where we are able to shine in full glory, or at least, without any holding back, express- is an order that’s been too tall for too long, and its overdue date has had us in expiration for the length long told of life, unmistaken for authenticity unexpressed.

Who we are and who we came to be cannot be argued with but within our heads. In our hearts, we have always known, though have surrendered, our truest of true for the likes of the you’s that might not like us if we dare express.

Now the clarion call is for us to sound as we open our mouths, and our hearts and clear those clogged up throat chakras, as we begin to give it a go and give it our best. We will be raspy-voiced and rusty at first, but the effort won’t go unnoted as we find our footing, and our soul song, and share it with the world, tell it to the mountaintops, and create a greater opening for our dreams manifest.

Who we are and what we came to do are the same in a different note of one thing. Without expressing our gifts, and our sacredness and our truth, then our identity and our integrity are not taking part in full reality.

To become, to go beyond what we’ve subscribed to and to audit no longer our intention or our elation though the dichotomy of division is what we are being called to.

Do you hear the call? Have you listened? What siren sound will alert you to your post and drop the mouth wide in preparation for the message to depart. What amount of soul sombering will impress upon you the NEED for action in spirit, through the divine grace of the All of the Everything, will it come from your lips or will the words go unspoken, and the smile on your face merely be a token of appreciation for what you think you’re supposed to be, say, do?

It’s up to you.  But in the end, will you be able to say that you did, or will that be one more thing that you just didn’t get around to?

Speak your truth. Give your gift. Be your essence, out loud.

Today is your time, and tomorrow is your chance to look back in honor and in gratefulness for the opening of your heart on a wider scale and the opportunity to say what you came into this world to say.

Be Blessed. Be abundant. Be in your glory. Be that NOW.

Loving grace,

~Rhonda

The Energy Forecast for Feb. 5-9, 2012~Water Bearer, Sea Serpent, and Leaving the Skeletons at the Shore

The Energy forecast for this week and right now is...

Water fountain, waterfall.  As you well know, if you’ve been following the blog, water is aaaaaaaaaaallllllll about emotion. And we are going to see lots of emotion spilling up and over the brim. This is about clearing and cleansing and leaving no crevice or crack un-cleansed.

There is also a huge water serpent rearing it’s rounded body to the surface of the sea.  This is about those ‘ugglies’ coming to the surface to be seen.  This is also a very powerful symbol of rebirth, as the serpent denotes the rise of life after death, the everlasting cycle of life, death, and rebirth again. Often you will see this in symbolism, as the serpent eating it’s tail. This is simply a rendition of the ‘unending’  of ending but beginning again. We are doing the same, in our process as we un-end, or undulate through our waves of e-motion that calls for us to rise and fall, that calls for us to flow with and ride the rhythm and rhyme of life.

And so, you will be seeing lots of cause for confirmation and correction, as your path opens doorways for you to SEE ever clearer into the 'why' and the 'how' and the 'what' of all that you no longer need to bring forward on the path (ball and chain).  And what may appear to be awful or shocking as you glimpse it’s unveiling is a gift in disguise because it is doing it’s blessed job of showing you were you stop the flow, where You stop living in life, where you show up as less, and therefore what you need to put to an end. This is about digging up the bones and sitting with them. Skeletons in the closet fall free to make room for a new wardrobe, not one that will hide the bones of the past but that will adorn the all of you that has been kept in check.

There are many themes at play going back to Oedipus and animus, going back to father/daughter, mother/son and how we got to be the me that we are and what we’re still living now based on what we perceived then.  So this has to do with martyrdom (no doubt,  fo’ sho') and it has to do with power through the aggression of silence ( a favorite martyrdom trick). It has to do with placing the hand of balance and power, or rather the unbalance of, in the realm of disparity and victim-hood.This has to do with what we learned by what we witnessed rather than what we were told. This is about role-responsiveness, carrying on and out the models that were played out for us by our authority figures, the ones that taught us what it means to be a wife, or a woman, or a wife, or a child, or a father, or a husband, or a man.

This is about healing the wounds that ‘made us’…and seeing into a window of how they became the wounds by witnessing ourselves living them out again, and again.  It may appear shocking to see that we have fallen prey or still subscribe to some of the notions or misgivings that we do, but if we didn’t, if we weren’t still, then we would be free already of the chains that have bound us to the bottom of the boat still afloat at sea.

To some degree, we are still out there, still chasing these ghosts, or adhering to their haunting melody.  We are still our father’s daughters and our mother’s sons, and we are still very much in pursuit of liberty.

How much we are watered down is in direct proportion to the watered down projection that we witnessed as a kid.  So if your mother was a patron to stepping down to your father’s power or your father got booted out of his lion den, then you will play into the tendency to reenact and replay the scenes of powerlessness and victim to power-stripping, again and again and again. Until you see fit, or find way, to shift that energy spectrum that was passed onto you like a torch, to carry forward or put out and therefore bringing that energy cycle of power-abuse to an end. This is about balancing the male and female within, as we too must find and negotiate a healthier sliding scale to operate from which isn't based on keeping score, maintaining power(by way of control), or keeping one end down so the other can 'win'.

There is a lot of emotion tied up and entangled in loss of power. This energy is multi-flamed, meaning it has many tiers and many levels of contention and like the waves of the sea, it will rise and fall in a rhythmic secession until the calm of the sea returns again. When the serpent rises, it’s intention IS to rock the boat, to quake the waves, to bring to the surface that which wishes to go to sleep again. We will want to turn a tired eye on the ‘issue’ at hand; the one that is tried but true, the one that sticks to our underbelly, the one that has been our maker in the sense of our weathered wounds.  We will cry out in the night about how we’ve ‘done the work’ to surmount and rise above this crashing wave that seeks to (once again) carry us into the deep.  But if the wave comes a’crashin’ it’s here again because we have Not, in fact, reached the shore, we are still adrift at sea with the one we wish would flee, with the serpent in his ugly glory and the emotional undulating that we wish would go back to sleep. Put simply: if that serpent comes knockin’, there’s still work to do, and you don’t get to go to la-la land with this turbulence still in your system, unless you choose to ride this rocky ship back out to sea again.

The shore is in sight, you can see it.  And the energy of this time supports us in that we are suspended in a sense of a dream-like state.  So we have the advantage of facing the monsters in our sleep and dancing through the mine-field of our inner-most dimensions with the distancing affect of a fog-like buffer, that separates us from the need to be so rattled by the deep-sea diving that’s in effect, and therefore, we have greater potential to be set free.

See what you are being shown. Witness it.  Let it show you where you have allowed for limitation in your life, where it’s still playing out in continuation, and WHY (here’s the big biggie that we’re being afforded the glimpse). Why is a powerful question when surfing the psyche. It holds the proverbial key (the preverbal one too, as many of our core ‘quake’ experiences we don’t even have words for, yet the why is the ‘what’ that we seek).

Now, as the veil is parting, we will See, and see clearly, the answers to our long-held questions of why and in this we are given our free pass to escape the land of non-power, the dungeon of un-expression, the barricade of needs-not-met, the stranded perception of helplessness, and the never-ending cold feet. 'Free at last' the battle cry calls, only there’s no battle this time, we’re just given the key, in a gesture of peace, for all of the generations and the lifetimes spent in exile of truest self wave goodbye from the shores of the marooned island, wishing us well, and wanting for us to succeed on the journey into redemption, as we sail the ship of freedom across the too long troubled waters of our underworlds that were theirs as well and we hightail it into un-chartered terrain, letting the blue sea of life take us away this time, in the direction of the sunset, in the direction of the trues ME.

Yes, our ancestors, and all of the spirit within all of the lives we’ve lived, have conspired to cast us away to sea so that we may SEE it all ever so clearly, but they have cast us with a safety net. There is almost no way to fall, or to drown, in this rescue mission. We are promised security in our awakening, which entails encapsuling the truth, unveiling the wisdom, surmounting the lies, and recovering our bearings, so that we no longer continue to live a life of regret or 'why me'.  

The ghosts of our pasts are alive within us as long as we sustain, or cling onto, the energy of what they represent. We are not the lump sum of all of our failed rescue-mission attempts. We have discovered what we were able to at each turn or the bin. We have ingested what our bellies could hold with each lesson that was brought forward in the name of ‘repent’. We are who we are because of it, not despite it, but we are more than that yet. We are the victory of the last standing soldier, the one who got out alive, the one who did it in this life-time, the one who rose above the water, turned the tides, and made and example out of the beast that had left us for dead.

And so, I say to you, rise high to meet the scaled serpent. Stand solid along the sea-legged journey ahead. This time and this energy is here to support you. Your insight and your wisdom that you’ve gathered along the way will nourish you. Let it serve you. You have everything you need, and then some, to be victorious in this mission of ‘rescue you from the depths’. It is time to come home, at long last, from your travels at sea, and I beckon you to bring with you the trophy of courage for having faced the once un-faceable, and not only living to tell about it, but living, for the fist time,  in a very long time, a life of full-throttle truth, unbound dreams, and greater peace and contentment than the eye can see.

You are your everlasting goodness. Quench your thirsty lips with the wet of your deepest knowing. Know again what you were meant to beleive. For the I AM of the You is still waiting. And the love that you've sought to bring forth into your world is forever free.

Be YOU. Go Beyond. Rise to meet the sea.

Bon voyage, dear souls in waiting. May the wait be over and your spirits be set free.

Ever blessed, in grace and ease,

~Rhonda

Energy Forecast for Feb.3, 2012~ Boundless Through Boundaries

Boundaries are a big theme of the month and one of the big ways that boundaries and limits come into focus is through body awareness.  How long can you go, how high, how far, and what do you compromise in between to get there?  What’s your performance level in life?  What are you priorities?  And most important, if you listen real close, or simply pay attention, what is your body telling you?  In order to listen, you have to slow down, sometimes to a stop. And from there, you can take inventory again. Boundaries should be a conscious effort, so in order to set them, you have to become conscious of where you being and another ends.

Here are a few key points about body awareness.  To be in the body requires that you feel.  So many of us escape and go ‘outer-body’ to avoid what’s too painful , too unbareable, too overwhelming for one soul to bare.  And that’s natural.  What’s problematic is when we reamin there. 

We can’t live life from the sidelines and if you’r out of your body, you’re not fully in the game.  Here’s the deal; we want to be boundless.  We long for that state, and in outer-body it’s a state almost achieved.  We come into the body boundless on the day that w’ere born and we seek to sustain that state.  That’s what the quest for enlightenment is.  But in order to be boundless, we have to learn boundaries, because in the Earth game and in a body, boundaries and freedom are actually one in the same.

Be aware that  being too much in the head is not just about spinning, it’s about being carried away with all of those whimsical ideas that are being showered down upon us at this time, as we’re all getting set into place and bringing to body (embodiment) the dreams and the visions that we want ( and are here) to live.

We have to rely on what’s Beyond to carry out some of these task and to put them in place.  We are only one body (individually) that’s not boundless (limitless).  And as your body may be telling you,  if you haven’t gotten this message already, you can’t give what you don’t have to give.

Self care is essential.  And if that’s not on your radar, you’ll be directed back to that course corrective now, or sometime in the near future.  Because without being solid, without coming fully back into the body, and listening to it and honoring it, and caring for it, you won’t have the strength and the foundation that’s needed to anchor the dreams and the visions in.

You have to make yourself a priority.  You deserve that love and compassion and now’s a time where it will become clear into focus whether your going to pay the price for years of neglect and whether you’re going to get the message and pay the dividend.

One of the reasons we fall into the tendency to spread ourselves so thin is that we don’t believe that we are enough.  And we think, on some subconscious level, that if we spread out all over the place then that enough-ness quota will be met.

But it only serves to deplete us and split us up in a million directions.  And when you’re splintered, that place of center , that grounding into the body, is rather hard to achieve.  Pull back in for a bit.  Allow for the chips to fall.  Take homage in the peace and the serenity that you don’t have to do it All, and that not doing it all is not sin.

You are One body, One soul.  And though we speak of boundess-ness often, it’s important to realize that we weren’t meant to do this thing solo.  We weren’t meant to be superheroes.  We are, afterall, at the end of the day, human.  And part of the lessons of limitation is to see where we end and another begins.  

This is about passing the torch, allowing for others to help and support us, and receiving the brotherhood and community that will bring our world into balance again.  This is the key to achieving our greatest desires and those visions and dreams that so close to the heart we keep.

When we've been do-it-your self-ers, when we've been an 'I can man' for eternity, it's awkward to learn how to step back and allow for the replacements to come in. But like with any good army, there's the awareness that to fight the good fight, and come away victorious, there must be battalions at hand to support and relieve one another, because to accomplish the big tasks it takes more than just a front- line of men.

We live by and for our ideals, but at the cost of our self care. Ideals sometimes get in the way when we are in pursuit of pleasure or on the run from the pain, and it can be easy to get lost in the maze of life that overextends and overcompensates our best intentions. And if gone on for too long breaks us down again.

But sometimes in life, we must be broken, in order to see where we need to recalibrate and strengthen in order to become more solid within.

Live and let live isn't just about releasing each to his own, it's about receiving what Life has to give and letting it in. Let Life. Let it in.

We belong to one another. We are here to serve, to comfort, to connect, to give. And we are put here for that purpose- to help one another to succeed and to help one another remember in those moments that we've forgotten who we've been.

We've been the soul that was chosen to evolve into form this lifetime. And in order to stay in form, we have to question what we're running from and what we're running to and what are our motivations. You have to get grounded in the body in order to set boundaries in the world.  By being aware of your limits and your body speak and drawing the lines based on what's within rather than always focusing outward on the other, as if the body (self) doesn't exist. 

You Matter. And as you being to beleive that you end questioning whether you're good enough. With out the good enough question at the forefront, you don't have to do/be it All, and the blurred boundaries between you and the others cease to exist. When you no longer carry the shame of not being enough, you can re-enter and live from the body again. It is here that you can join with one another to create boundlessly, without the constant question of boundaries and undefined Oneness that inhibits where and when creation begins.

Begin again. Enter embodiment. Allow for unity to support you on your path. And you will be brought back to a place of free-flow living.

To your creative movement into you and your boundless expression!

P.s. This is a double five day, numerologically, so be aware that is full of the potential for great change. Power to you, sweet souls! Begin again!

Namaste,

~Rhonda

Energy Forecast for Feb. 2, 2012 Reflective Relationships, Needs Not Met, and The Eyes and Arms of a Loving Child Again

If you’re finding that your needs aren’t being met in your relationship now, it’s a direct reflection of needs not met then.

If your needs were not met then ( in your childhood, or in your past), chances are you’ve attracted that perfect someone or some-many who’s done an excellent job of reflecting that bit-lip syndrome when it comes to communication ( or expressing your needs).  These are the holes in your lining and what keeps you going under again and again.

Here’s what needs-not-met reflects- lack of compassion, lack of connection, lack of communication, and ultimately, lack of communion.  In a nutshell, when you hole up and cut off in order to self-protect, you perpetuate that pattern of lack through inhibiting your connection with another.

In order to fill that hole and be whole, we have to connect.  you have to allow yourself to come out of that hardened shell and open to the experience of love and trust.  And if you’re tired of falling into the exhausted old roles and uttering the well-rehearsed lines of martyrdom and victim-hood, this is your time now to move beyond the fallacies of false self and enter into the Truth of who you’ve always been.

The key element that you never got, the thing that wasn’t reflected back to you when you were small (and maybe never since) is that You matter.  And matter, you do.  You may not have seen that reflected back from the eyes of the ones you’ve loved or heard it in so many words.  But despite all the proof or the evidence that you’ve been in hot pursuit of that never seemed to materialize, the truth of the matter is- you are Enough.

Do you believe that, on some certain level?  Can you drink that in?  Because that mirror you’re looking for and that evidence you’re seeking ( you know, the proof that you’re ok, that you’re special, that you’re beautiful, that you’re loved)- you will only ever truly receive that in your life once you elicit it from your own love for self.

That’s right, until you love yourself (by way of just stepping into the role of foster care here. Consider yourself a stray or an orphan who just needs another chance and a solid home to come up in, and a good healthy dose of love).  Until you step into that role For You ( ‘cuz no one else can do it for you at this point) and be the advocate- expressing directly and clearly your needs, and by way of being the surrogate- feeding life nourishment and support of vital nutrients- you will continue to feel needy and abandoned and therefore resentful.  And in that loop, nothing will change.

So how do you go about this thing called love?  How do you set about rescuing and revitalizing that you that you’ve lost along the way? You retrace your steps and go back to a place of connection with the one who matters most. You find and establish a connection with the one within.

Go to her now, go to that child and wrap your arms around her. Go to her and get reacquainted with who you were then. She holds in her heart the love that was never tainted, the joy that runs like a river, the creativity that is unquestioned, and the spark of life which has been the apex of your quest. She holds within her the key to forgiveness. And that is something that without you cannot progress. As many directions as you can face outward in the name of what needs to be forgiven, the most pivotal place that you must turn now is to your own self so that you can cleanse you of all the ways that you’ve turned your back on your own inner kid.

And when you go to her, you will see that she still believes, that she so adores you, that the vision of life that you hold in your heart is what she knows to be true, without any question, without any attachment to what’s been or what is. She is pure and profoundly wise, as all children are in their god-like state. She knows the way forward, and never doubted it.  It was you that had forsaken the truth, and in the process disconnected from this place in you that believes without question, that loves without limits, that lives without restriction, that knows what it is to Be a Child of God and can show you the way back to that place again.

Go to her now for your memory to be restored, for your conscious to be cleansed.  Go to her now to believe in the wonder and the miracles of life and as you reconnect with her you will be able to let those miracles and that magic back in. Children are so forgiving, and you will find, as you look into her eyes and she sees in you the woman that she knew she would someday be, and that she's proud to be part of that woman, and that forgiveness is a given for free.  She SEES you fully for who you are, and not for all of the shadows you’ve assumed your self to be. She Sees you wholly and unconditionally and wants only for you to be bathed in the love that you are undeniably worthy of, and in this she wants you to believe now as you believed in you then.  Allow yourself to be absolved from the sin of turning your back on this precious part of you, of this most sacred aspect of the You within. And as you open to reconnection with this place in you, you will feel your light shining again.

Going back to this place inside and the child that's been hidden or hiding you can bring grace and love to the 'then' that keeps you from the now and in this you can heal all of the 'what hasn't been'. By coming to a place of forgiveness for it all, by allowing it to be perfect in what it's been, then you are removed from that pothole of the past and you are set free to create and breathe and express again. Fully, in the now place.  Fully, as your self. And all that's required is that you see with new eyes.  And the miracle that wipes your vision clear is the simple and profound act of you loving yourself whole again.

Be the beauty, be the light! Let yourself live again!

Blessings and grace,

~Rhonda

The Energy Forecast for Feb.1, 2012~ Slip Sliding Away From Bondage, Resurecting Boundaries, And Enter the We of The New I AM

The energy forecast for today is…

Waterslides.  Now, I’ll admit, anything having to do with water when it comes to these visions, makes me a little leery because water is the symbol of emotions, and if water is present, then that usually means we’re up to our heads.  But not today.  I wondered if there was even water on these looping tunnels of fun, as they showed me there wasn’t too much, but just enough to slide easily down this entrance into adventure and take the green-light-go to enjoy ourselves again.  But in order to go beyond the leery, you have to let yourself play, let your inner little you out, let go of all of the restriction and the gobly-goop that’s in your head.

You are not a victim of circumstance.  You are a master of your domain.  You are not hostage to your pain, or a slave to suffering.  You are a fun-lover about to stake your claim…on life, on love, on your share (and then some) of the good that's rolling out abundant right now. 'Cuz Lord knows we’ve already paid our dues in pain.  So look at some of these ‘I’m Not’ statements and decide who you Are again. Put together some powerful 'I' statements and walk forward without all of the baggage and shame.

This is the month about relationships, so you will be Seeing a lot in the areas of boundaries, of benediction, of false rights and responsibilities, and of the yearning to let it all end ( the self-imposed restrictions, that is).  You are being called to go beyond what you’ve based your life on here (and your relationships) and restore your faith in the possibilities of life without sin.  The days of martyrdom and victim-hood are ending.  And as we exit the month of the ‘I’ which reflected our bases of identity we are being asked to put down those masks and those roles for once and for All and declare that we will LIVE again.

So break out of the bondage.  Cut the tape.  And stop listening to those outdated tapes in your head.  It’s so vintage to believe in a way that’s gone wrong, in a way that’s never gotten us anywhere good, in a way that’s been tried and never true, in a way that clearly only serves the purpose of suffering and if we so choose (and really, we do have that power and can take that initiative and make that conviction) we can step out of it now, bust the chains and never look back again.

Your past is your past and contrary to what you’ve heard, it’s not gone.  It’s part of you.  It lives in you.  It’s part of what’s created you and makes you who you are.  But it’s the perception of the past, and the creative sifting through what it means to us ( in other words, judgment) that keeps us tied to a rock, or enables us to move again.  Listening to the voice of reason that tells you that all that you’ve done (and not done) and all that you’ve managed to be ( or haven’t been) is all that you are,  that these are the reasons for your lackluster or your low labido for life and that these reasons are your reasons for being or not being are not reasons to live.  The reasons to Live, to truly and fully get out there and go for the gusto, to grab at the wind, are written all over the land.  There is much coming forth in the way of excitement, exuberance, extraordinary, and exalted fancy whims.  You have to feel your way beyond this other stuff though, to believe that this other IS.

So set down your not-worthy, your pledge of allegiance to suffering and its kin. Supe up and set your speed at cruise control, ‘cuz we’re about to go for a spin. And as we’re cruising down fabulous lane, smile and wave at all of the markers that are indicating the complete opposite of what the restriction would have you believe and allow them to shift you into a place of freedom again.

You will be forced to look at boundaries this month and how you enact, interact, interlude, and extend.  Within relationships you will be given many mirror moments of where you need to set up new fences and where you need to bend. Reflect on what you’ve garnered from the ‘I’ lessons that told you about who you are, or who you believe yourself to be and take those lessons into the ‘we’ month unfolding so that you can get a better handle on how to open to greater love, greater peace, freedom, and enjoyment, and on how you can allow for the spirit within you to flow fully and forward so that you can step into a life well lived.

You will be challenged to see where you hold back, where you hold tight, where you hold on, and where you give in.  Reflect and realign with what of this you want to take forward, what you are ready to finally reject, and what of it you need to do again.  Pay attention to the signals and the warnings of the radar system within you and you will have an easier time deciphering and decoding the messages and the lessons ahead.  Take a lesson from the first month of the year and let the lessons teach you and learn from them rather than letting them stop you dead. (Thaw out this winter, remember.  Don’t get frozen and go full stop when you’re seeing for the first time what’s really driving you or your life or causing it to go under.  Be a brave bear and look it in the eye and keep on moving ahead).

So this is about relying on that ancient inner wisdom, becoming solid in your own truth, and trusting yourself again.  The time to move forward is now, and you can spend the month tailgating what wants to keep you gated or you can simply dive in.  Create with wild splendor and abandon, run far and run free.  But run for the sake and the joy of running, not because your hiding or because of your allegiance to prove or to please.  If there’s one thing you should have learned last month ( and there’s still this week of a window to get it and grag on and go) it’s that it’s all about YOU, and you, and You.  So shine your own headlight to lead your direction in the coming weeks and months, and by being your own authority and your own motivation for Being and doing, you’ll set yourself free.

So then, here’s the deal…we are being moved toward something big.  And the thing is, as long as you are in the way of receiving the messages that will take you there, that are directing you toward that thing that you love, that you desire, that you deserve, you will have a hard time finding or knowing your way.  We are receiving information and messages constantly, and our way of receiving is upgraded by the day.  But when we’re focused on the Fox News in our heads, we miss the subtle nuances and the gentle whispers and the stop-now-and-smell-the-roses clues to get us to where we’re going and help us get beyond where we’ve been.  In other words, to put it nicely, get out of your head.

Get your Rambo on and grab your machete and slice through all of the restrictions and the barriers and the stuff that insists on standing directly in your way and claim this road your walking, take back your power and your path, make your own liberated and ever-liberating choices and fight for what’s real and alive and right there in the open waiting for you rather than clinging to what’s keeping you down and keeping you dead.

You must break free and go BEYOND what these illusions are holding you bound to.   You have no allegiance to them, you no longer need to suffer, your time as hostage can end now, so let it end.  Quit paying in your time and energy to what you don’t even want a part of and see beyond to what wants to come to you, to what you want to be part of, and create some new healthy dividends.

In relationship, with yourself and others right now, question the ‘I’ statements that may be your default and then question them again.  Try on for size, when you find yourself cornered or afraid ‘I am alone’ and shift it with a gentle slap on the wrist and an alternative ‘I Am part of the Whole and the Everything’.  Witness ‘I Am unsupported’ and switch it out for “All needs are met at all times’.  Use your highlighter and your red pen and be determined, and extra diligent in your correction and overriding of ‘I’ statement at this time. You are rewriting the script. Be creative. Be bold. Be liberated.

What you think and believe is what you create.  But that’s Co-Creation 101.  Bring consciousness into all that you do and let it shine through any intimidation of what you hope to achieve or what may be swimming up from the deep to be seen. And remember, when those teachable moments happen, when we're triggered or infiltrated with what needs to heal, breathe it in and breathe it out in release. Forgive in every breath, in every moment, and you will find more space in your heart, in your lungs, in your whole body, and in your way of being.

You are your best bet for evolution. Believe in you.  See your way through ( by wiping all of the distractions from your windshield and getting a clearer view). Get up on that waterslide and find your glee.  The time for play is upon us.  Play it forward and remember throughout this month to express as fully and as flavorfully as you possibly can.  And then go beyond that and express even more abundantly than before. Create Creator.  It's what you're here to do.

Be restored in the new found joy of you.

Share your love.  Share your soul.  Share your All, and bask in the pleasure of seeing it reflected back at you.

Open hearts and open minds unlock the treasures and connect the dots to mysteries of what lies within.

Much Amore, my friends!
