todays energy is for today

we get pretty much unlimited energy to spend in one day. it seems to flow unendingly from somewhere.... and I believe we are supposed to use all of it each day. we do, however, quite often choose to ignore it and become idle for a few hours .... probably in order to catch our breath before we launch into the next phase of being and doing ....

and we invest it in the future in the form of worrying about things that may never come to pass, and awaiting test results that will come, whether we worry about them or not. we humans are funny.

and then, we invest some of it in the past.

we mourn things that are gone. we stress about what we said, how we looked, what foolish things we did, and we also invest heaps more in misery about who said what to us, who did what to us, how we were abused, hurt, gossiped about. we wonder if we will ever be as happy as we were when .... (fill in blank) we invest todays energy in what we could have, should have, would have done ...if only ....

there is a different way to view the past. one that frees up more of todays energy so that we can use it today! now.

all that we are today is based on all the pieces that came together to form the picture, it is as if we are a jigsaw  puzzle of many pieces.

some from today.

some blank ones which we will paint when the time comes.

some from our past.

however, those pieces from the past that are still emotionally charged, the ones which still hurt us, or push our buttons, or still bring tears and heartache - it is as if we have decorated those pieces with embellishments, like the ones you can buy in craft shops. studded. pierced. shiny. glittery. with bells and whistles.

those are the pieces that often stop us from moving forward. those are the pieces that we focus on so much, to the detriment of our future pieces. it is as if some of our blank pieces are already coloured with what has gone before.

take some time to get those sadness-infused pieces to be more like the others. let go of the extras that decorate them and make them show up so brightly that the now and the future is masked.

those added features are no longer necessary - the decorations were there to alert us to the fact that 'this is important - there are lessons for you to learn here, gifts to uncover'  ...... and it is now a great time to get those pieces to lose their importance, their glitz and glamour that distracts  - the bling....

find the way for you to view all the past pieces with equality...... once upon a time I had a little dog called Scooter. once upon a time I had a teacher called Miss Smith. once upon a time I had a granny who baked lovely cakes. once upon a time I was raped. once upon a time, I won a bar of chocolate in a raffle.

when you can look back at all the pieces of the past, and they are no longer a distraction from today, that is when you know that all of todays energy can be invested in you and what makes your heart sing, today.

not investing that energy in the past. not investing the energy in the future. using it all for now ...because now is all we really have. it is a phrase that seems to be constantly repeated ...and it is because it is true. now is all we have.

have a look at the jigsaw puzzle that is you. how many sparkly shiny things are on the ones from your past? if they are distracting you from being fully present in this moment, in now, then change the picture.

it is said that it is never too late to have a happy childhood

so many people are willing and able to help you with the work you may need to do, to ensure that the pieces you are painting today are as bright and happy as you would like them to be. and that the blank ones of your future are just that, blank .... a canvas ready for the artist to appear .....

take back your energy and power into this moment. where it truly belongs. so that you can dance and sing and play and bounce and pray and love and live and share and soar and fly

angels within ....

there is a time when we can be in amongst many people, listening to the hustle and bustle of city noises. and there is a time to be quieter. to listen carefully to the birds that call

there is a sense of timelessness in that quiet space. the place where one is aware of the flowing of the rivers. the waxing and waning of the moon.

and the chance to hear the inner voices. the ones that are there to support and guide.

and when those voices speak to you, and you listen, what are they saying to you?

are they encouraging you to follow your dreams? are they telling you how wonderful you are? are they helping you to see all the ways that you can display your magnificence to the world, and yourself?

are they reassuring you that no matter what is happening around you, to the ones you Love and hold dear, that all is working out perfectly? are they helping you to get clarity?

are they giving you hints of what is to come? do you feel their presence beside you? when you close your beautiful eyes, do you see them?

these are the Angels within ... the ones who come to be of service to you. because they love you. no matter what. they reside in a space of non-judgment .... whatever you choose to do, they stay beside you.

talk to them. get to know them.  become aware of how they communicate with you

they are a part of Who You Are

they are the greatest of all blessings

listen...

follow your heart....

with them in your life, you are never alone

being the glue

some years ago, a friend of mine had an early appointment in town, and in order to comply with her husbands wishes that he not be disturbed, she crept quietly out of bed, headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day, and left the house.

she took the one hour train journey into the city, and headed for the office.

before she got that far, her daughter rang her, saying - I think there is something wrong with Dad, I don't think he is alive.

wow. now for the train journey home again, millions of questions running through her head. and then discovering that almost certainly, he had passed during the night. while she was still in the room. before her quiet preparation for her day ahead.

this friend had married early in life, and had been so 'well-behaved' as a child, a wife, a mother, that she had been feeling that life had passed her by. and suddenly, she was free to do whatever she wanted to do - no restrictions!

suffice to say that she started exploring all sorts of avenues ..... which was of great concern to some of her friends who wanted to wrap her in cotton-wool and keep her 'safe'.

when I was asked to become part of the 'worry' group, I declined. my answer was that all we are required to do in this sort of case, is to stand by - and rejoice in her happiness, and use our loving superglue if things went badly.... that is what friends are for - not to stop the exploration!

a few days back, another friend asked for support in her family challenge - her young son was heading into a life that was not what had been expected for him. all the support, and education, and family love was shunned in order to explore the darker side of life.

and all I could suggest was the same advice - this Soul came onto the planet to have an experience ...to explore things... and that we need to trust that his Soul knows what is best for him. he knows the path he wants to travel. he wisely chose a good family to be born into - so that if things go in a way that does not work for him, he will still have a loving mum at home ... ready to welcome back the Soul who is her son. and ready to use the superglue that she holds in her heart, if he needs it.

as for me - all I can do is watch and observe as she meets her challenge of letting her son go his own way in life, and have superglue ready if it is required.

for me, this is what life is all about - exploring new things - some may want to label them as good or bad - but for me - it is exploration of experiences .....

and if we are able, then to also be the ones who hold the superglue in our Hearts ..that superglue called Love ... abundant supplies for whenever another asks for it ....


I AM the explorer ....

I AM also the glue....

sunshine and rain

good morning sunshine.... and you do understand that the rain is just as beautiful as the sunshine you greet today?

sunshine, rain, snow - all part of the wonderful tapestry that is life on this planet.

and you came here because you wanted the experiences that are on offer.

you have encountered quite a lot of superciliousness today on your facebook wall - some folk out there pretending to be better than others and making snide remarks. telling others not to preach, and yet obviously standing on a soapbox, preaching about not preaching. judging and saying do not judge.

facetiousness, sarcasm, snide remarks. you have been shown the side of the coin that you no longer wish to experience. and yet ...did you see the love and appreciation too? so why is your focus on this other stuff - why has it pushed your button, albeit very gently - what is going on inside you that is making you so uncomfortable in the space of un-love?

it is the reminder of how you once were. that was once you. well, not exactly you, but what you presented to the world - your prickly exterior which you thought was your armour ... that no-one could pierce - where you thought you would be safe.

and then you met love. and knew that all that had gone before was such an empty shell of who you really are.

that old way of being brings up so much drama and anger and well, explosions inside. and you have found it to be too difficult a path to follow. you confused it with a sense of powerfulness, that no-one could ever harm you. and now you see how detrimental it all was for you...and yet not. because it allows you to move forward knowing that there is a way of being that you no longer wish to participate in. a way of being that no longer serves you

so. little miss sunshine, stride into this day knowing that it is a day for transformation. knowing that more deeply today, you understand the power of love. the power of knowing that all things, each and every single moment, is created in perfection. so much for you to learn. so much for you to display to others so that they may be reminded of their own perfection

move into the day with this immense love that you know is inside you and is raining down on you.

little one ..yes today we refer to you as little one as you survey the task ahead as large - and we want you to know that you can do anything it is you want to do - the most difficult challenge you can ever set for yourself is to walk away from your Self. that dear one is the only difficulty that could lie ahead for you - it is not what you planned, and yet it is not impossible for you to write it into the script of your life
of course we know as well as you do, that it is not something you will choose to do - we merely remind you that the option will always be there
nothing is too big for you - there is always going to be the bridges and pathways and helpers and support systems surrounding you - it can never be any other way.  to think otherwise infers separation and you know that you are individual but not separate.
swimming against the tide is the hard way to do things. always remember to turn your canoe downstream so that you may still journey more effortlessly. whichever route you choose will get you where you are going. one can go to Rome via China, or America, or Iceland. but if it is Rome you are heading to, why not take the most direct and effortless route? the destination will always be there - the journey is the main event, so make it an enjoyable one for you
as you do so, your light will shine more brightly, your heart will love more deeply, and your appreciation of everything that happens will be magnified since it is not covered over with stress and struggle. choose the road that feels good.
you work hard. you always have. you have not often given yourself the credit for it - but others see. and others know what a difference you make in their lives and the lives of others. that is what your journey is about. connecting with others and reminding them of their Divinity. their Authenticity. that is the real journey. Rome, not so much the issue after all - we love your smile and laughter now - that is what it is all about. the smile tells us that you know and understand.
everything is all perfect - on every level. we know how difficult it can be at times when you are in physical to remember that intrinsically you are Spirit, you are Us, you are Everything and Everyone. whenever it seems that the going is tougher than you would like it to be, throw off the blanket of stress that you cover yourself with, and remember who you truly are. remember that smile a moment ago - that laughter when you remembered You and your Journey and your Life purpose ...always come back to that laughter.
sweet angel on the planet. we surround you with a layer of silver and gold - we know how precious those layers are to you. let them cloak you with the Love and Guidance you know and love so much. and remember that although you connect with this stream of consciousness from Sha'men, it is not an intelligence outside of yourself. it is You!

always remember that ...

you are listening to that soft whisper within ....

because you are All

Prostitute Archetype

I decided to become single after almost 25 years of marriage. When I did so, I got a lot of criticism from colleagues who thought my husband was such a nice man. He is. But there were far too many challenges within the relationship and my Soul wanted out.
The colleagues were also unhappily married. And as I became happier and more self-confident, I seemed to highlight for them that their choice to stay with their spouses was leading them into more and more misery. So, the back-stabbing began.
When I asked them why they stayed with their abusive partners, I was told they were doing it because of the money - they enjoyed being supported and also getting in some pocket money by working half day at the office.

Some years later, things really went badly financially for the most outspoken of the women. I then asked her why she was still staying in the marriage, and now the answer changed to - because there is no money and I cannot afford to rent a place for myself on my small income.

This woman is displaying the Archetype of the Prostitute ....and the consequences of playing this role. First she stayed for the money. Then she had to stay because there was no money for making new choices.
I believe she has choices, but she cannot see them.

I am so appreciative of the opportunity that I have had, watching this scenario unfold, and allowing me to learn the lesson without going through the actual experience myself,

Never again will I 'stay' for the money. Never will I sell my Soul for the cash. I have seen it bring this woman to her knees - not only in grief, but also into the role of the Beggar.

Thank you to my Guides and Guardians - for giving me the insight into another's  plight, so that I may choose a path that is very different. I will take the lesson and use it in my own life.


Thank you ...

this new day has dawned and within it you will find many moments of celebration. all days are like this. it is just that sometimes we forget to look for the lovely stuff. for the things that makes your heart sing.
you have arrived at that moment in your life when you are embracing all that is lovely and fulfilling and inspiring.
you can choose to focus on troubles and difficulties -  just as easily as you can focus on joy. it is your choice.

live. it is why you are here. if you had not chosen to embrace the physical plane, you would not be here. you came here to have this experience. drench yourself in them. always being focused on what puts the biggest smile on your face.

as you notice the sun setting in the sky and dipping behind the mountain, remember that the sun is setting on a certain part of your life now.
you have made a choice to allow the Universe and yourself to support you. it is a decision that you have mulled over for quite some time - and we remind you again that the right time is the time you make the choice - it can never be the wrong time to make any decision. you know that you are a spontaneous, free-spirited Being, and despite this inner nature, you have had to wait until all the pieces of the jigsaw made sense to you before you could make this mind-shift.
rejoice. revel in the freedom that your decision evokes in you. and look no longer for the bucket of fear that the Old You would be dipping into . it is part of the past. the process of accepting the New into your life is largely completed. you do still remember the Old ....and like any other relationship that is gone and past and was not much fun anyway, it is also disappearing over the horizon. you no longer have any use for the old you ... and not too long from now you will wonder how you ever managed to deal with things the way you did.

you are amazing. you have endured all sorts of hardship. it may not look like it to others, because it is not so much on a physical level. you have endured so much on an emotional level, and because you are of a sunny disposition, you have not always allowed people to see what is going on underneath the surface.

it is like a duck on the water - looks like it is floating along effortlessly, when indeed there is much going on below the surface.

wow - again we say that you are so amazing. the hills you have climbed are so much higher than the highest mountain on your planet. you are now standing on the summit, looking around at all that is on offer around you, and just wondering what it is that you really want to do. we say that your choices are unlimited. just as you have not yet deciphered all the info we gave you last week, so you also cannot at this point comprehend what the script is that you have written. this will gradually make itself very clear to you, and you will be in awe of it.
write down all of what you know will make your heart sing. write it on little pieces of paper and put them in a balloon. you will know the exact moment that you need to release that balloon to the open skies ....and yes - those goosebumps you felt now when you got that message - that shift in the solar plexus - you know it  is because Open Skies has much to do with your next shift. remember this dear one - Open Skies....

oh beloved one - we treasure the chance to work with you. if we were able to be, we would be overwhelmed ...
we thank you so much for committing to work with us each and every day in this way - it allows us the chance to get our message to you much more clearly.

fly little bird - into those Open Skies .... we are ready and the sun is rising in your new life


Blessed Be ..

the path before you is not as clear as you may want it - and there is a reason for this. if you could see every step ahead for the next.. however many years... you may get to feel that you wanted a more exciting or a more quiet life, and then make decisions to change the way things look up ahead.
you need not be concerned about this. the path is just exactly what you want and require for your growth. it is neither too boring and bland, or so excitement driven that you are in a whirlwind all the time. it is like the meal for baby bear - just right. just perfect. not too hot. not too cold. not too salty. not too sweet. just right.

remember to live in the Now - there is no other time. or space. Now is all you have. we understand that there is some need for humans to plan ahead - and indeed, much food would not be available if plans were not made about planting and watering .... but remember you need only do this major planning because there are so many of you on the planet - nature intended to feed and nurture the people within the area in which they could range for food that was readily and naturally available. that has changed due to the dramatic increase in numbers.
so, make whatever plans you need to make for provisions to be ready to feed and support you, but remember not to do it at the cost of forgetting to live in the moment.
wake up each day knowing that if you are listening to the wisdom within you, you will make the choices that you need to make for the day.
allow us to take care of some details for you. do not try to engineer and control everything. that would exhaust you and rob you of the precious time you have for having an enjoyable life. hand some of it over to us. it is why we are here and why you are connecting with us. you are asking for the guidance. this is your guidance. no flowery words. no prose that people can quote for decades to come. just trust us.

you know you can...

trust us

and you know you can....

do anything your heart desires.


trust us .....

and trust your Self.


Blessed Be

dear one - we want to say to you that as you flex and stretch your muscles at gym in order to improve your fitness and to reach the goal you have set for yourself, so you are stretching and flexing your spiritual life in order for you to reach the goal that you have set for yourself. and just as you have a support system at the gym so you have a support system in us.
we know the subject
we know your Hearts desire and goal
we know how to help you to achieve this
all you have to do is to continue what it is you are doing
you are calling forth all the resources you need
you are doing this so well and so effortlessly

all we add today for you is to stand tall - allow your Heart to constantly be sending and receiving Love.

you have seen the responses from those who love to see you happy and glowing. it allows them to go on with their day, feeling uplifted by your response to them
that is all you have to do
be that opportunity for others to see that they can choose how to set the tone of their day too

we also notice that you are feeling more relaxed now that you have decided about your life. that joy you feel inside is how you are born to be. you are making manifest the life you chose.
we acknowledge that you feel you should not have taken so long, and like you we do not like the use of the word should
all is happening in its perfect Divine Order. it cannot be otherwise.
and we hear you asking for a message that you can share with others today ...

be bold and be brave and fearless, since at no time is there anything worthy of the investment of time in fear.
be faithful to what you know to be the right path for you at this time
allow the beautiful colours of the Universe to swirl around you to inspire and to support you. breathe it in and allow it to infuse every cell in your body and every aspect of your aura and Being. the colours are energy Beings that come to assist you and your growth
you know this to be true because of the choices you made many years ago - when you chose to have colour instead of black and white - or neutral - you KNEW how important colour is to you ... you sensed it, you spoke of it - and now you know why you surround yourself with so many colours - they are the Beings of Light who come to play with you.
dearest Beloved, beautiful One ..... breathe in the colours ... each day ...and watch how quickly your life unfolds before you....

blessed be ...
