It has been quite the month with the Full Moon and the Lunar Eclipse on July 7th and tonight’s New Moon Solar Eclipse will only add to the mix.

So many people of late have been complaining of experiencing some pretty severe bouts with “dark nights of the Soul”.  Not surprising actually with all the energy that has been swirling around.  However, it is so very important for all of us to be aware of these energies and learn how to balance our own in our daily lives.

At this time in our human evolution we are all being tested.  We are all being asked to be clear and authentic in all of our interactions with others and, conversely, our own interactions with our selves. 

How many times do you find yourself criticizing your actions and the actions of those around you?  We need to be gentle with our selves and in so doing, we learn to be gentle with others.  Those who are experiencing these very real “dark nights of the Soul” need our compassion and love.  We also need to be aware however that we are not going to FIX anyone.  We can share from our own experiences but we can not expect others to react in the same way as we do.  We are simply here to share from our Soul and allow others to share from their Soul.  Accept the places in the world where others exist and let them move at their own pace.

Being an Intuitive and Healer I am always being asked if I can help someone move into a more enlightened way of Being.  And the answer is yes.  I can help.  I can not DO it for anyone else though.  I simply offer an alternate choice, perhaps one that they had not been able to access for themselves.  That is where my skill comes into play.  I only offer what Spirit shares and then it is up to others to use these new-found abilities to move themselves further down their own Path.

And unfortunately, sometimes we do venture into darker places within our Soul.  At these times it is imperative that we open to the beautiful Divine Light that shines from deep within.  Let your own light illuminate the Path before you.  Let your own Light shine on those areas of darkness, showing it a way back into the Light, back into the beauty that shines for all to see. 

We are all Healers in our own right.  We will all have experiences with the Dark and we will have experiences with the Light.  I choose to focus on the Light within and, in so doing, I am able to shine a little brighter for those around me.

May your day be filled with the Divine Light of your Being.

Namaste

This first week in July is always a heady time for all of us residing in North America.  For those of us living in Canada, there is Canada Day, celebrated on July 1^st.  For all of you in the States, there is Independence Day celebrated on July 4^th.  These are events  everyone can relate to.  However, on Tuesday, July 7^th it was also a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse and THAT is always a very auspicious time to delve into other reasons for celebration.

And what might these OTHER reasons to celebrate be?  For me this past 6 months has been one of major releases and major openings, all the while bringing me into a place of balance and acceptance for all that is occurring.  A place within myself that I have sought since the beginning of time.  A chance to feel a divine connection to all that I AM, without questioning any of it.

I facilitate Meditation circles here in Vancouver weekly on Tuesday evenings.  In this month of July both of the Eclipses fall on my regular meditation circle night.   These circles are also being conducted on a Full Moon AND a New Moon.  I pay attention to things like this.  And what does it mean, not only for me, but for you all as well.

It is a chance to dive deep within your psyche and attempt to come to an understanding of exactly what it is that YOU are wishing to release from your life.  And, on the other hand, what it is that you are willing to receive and embrace within your life as a celebration of simply being alive in physical form – with the chance to move into a more balanced and accepting way of living in YOUR world.

As we move into a place of acceptance for where we are and, more importantly, for WHO we are, our lives start to move forward with ease and grace.  There is a fluidity that occurs when we are no longer holding on to the old and, conversely, fearing the new.  You all know that once you release a part of you that is holding you captive in the old ways, an opening is provided for something new and more in alignment with where you currently are in your own personal evolution, to come in and anchor into your psyche.

And that is what has occurred this past week – the first week of the second half of this year of 2009.  And THAT is cause for celebration on a number of levels.  We have all moved collectively into a more expansive and accepting place in the world, whether you are aware of it or not.  The pushes and pulls that you are all experiencing of late are simply Spirit prodding you to wake up and remember your divine heritage – the reason for you being here in human form.

So yes, let’s celebrate the simple acts of breathing, waking up to a new dawn and seeing the world through the eyes of our Highest Self.  We chose to be here at this time.  Don’t lament the state of things when they don’t feel comfortable.  Embrace these times for they are the times when Spirit is calling on you to wake up – calling on you to step up to the altar.  It is a time for you to share all of you for these are the times we have been waiting for.

I wish for you peace, balance and joy in simply BEING for this is the greatest cause for celebration – at least from my little place in the world.

Namaste
