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.

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

The start of a new week – like a fresh clean slate – beckons.  What will it bring?  

When you think about it – this is how life works.  Each day we awaken to a clean fresh slate;  a slate upon which to create what life provides.  And life does provide exactly what we need to expand beyond our current boundaries and move us into the newness that each day brings. 

Every day we are presented with unlimited opportunities to expand our thoughts, our beliefs and our realities.  This is huge.  Each and every day we are given numerous opportunities to become more, to share more and to simply BE more.  If you spent just 5 minutes a day REALLY believing that you can be more than you are….that you can have more than you currently possess……that you can BE or DOanything that you choose – well can youimagine how everyone’s life would benefit?

Each time that you step into your true power, you are enabling others to learn from your example.  Each time you offer your self up, as a living example of what is possible, you are benefiting everyone that comes into your path on a daily basis.  Each time you believe in yourself you are all powerful.  It is as simple as that but it is a choice to think these thoughts.

Many of you are currently experiencing what can only be called the “Dark Night of the Soul”.  So much is being torn down and readied for the new.  So much seems to be falling away, with you feeling like you have no control anymore.   Perhaps this could be the truth.   Maybe you need to relinqush some control so that the Universe can take over.

The control that you have been trying to exert, in all areas of your life, does not seem to be working any longer.  Life is twisting and turning in ways that you had never envisioned, however, it is happening whether you choose to believe it or not.  So, perhaps a new choice is upon you.

The Universe projects numerous ideas and thoughts into your field of consciousness every day.   Many viable options are currently being projecting into your thoughts RIGHT NOW giving you the ability to move beyond this current state of affairs.  You are  being gifted with the ability to move out of this dark period but, you must change the way you think. 

Why not take your 5 minutes today and start believing that you can move beyond where you are.  You know that you want to.  You know that others have moved through even harsher realities than yours and have come out the other side full of life, love, power and confidence.  Everything that they desired seemed to magically arrive.  What did they do that was different than what you are currently doing?  What was the one main tipping point?

A sincere belief in their own abilities. 

A belief that they could rise out of the ashes and create something new.   A desire to be more than they had previously been.  And, an awareness of the assistance of the Divine in all aspects of the life that they were living.  Just a simple awareness.

For many of you, the veils are lifting.  You are seeing more and hearing more.  And for many perhaps, you are simply listening more.   You are now bringing an awareness into your own field of consciousness, of the existence of more………..of everything. 

Can you believe that more is possible? 

Can you believe that life can change dramatically with your thoughts?

Can you accept a reality other than the one that you are currently immersed within?

Open your mind and surrender to a deeper knowing that there is MORE available.  You just have to reach out and accept it as it filters down to you in each beautiful moment of your day.

So for today, I wish you infinite abundance and a new day filled with a deeper knowing of your own place in the world.

I had two clients today both make similar statements regarding finding a man to look after them – like that would make it all better. By IT, of course I mean, their LIFE. It got me questionning my own life and seeing where I too, in the past, have been in that same situation – doubting my own abilities..

Why do so many people seek for another to “look after them”?

What is it within people that makes them believe that they are not capable of looking after themselves?

Where were we led to believe that we would never be whole unless we had someone to look after us and, on the flip side, someone for us to look after?

Why not simply focus all that love and attention on YOU and see where it might lead?

In my life, I have delved into this belief pattern too. However, when I did have financial support and all that that entails on the material plane, I did not feel safe. I worried constantly about what might or could or would happen, all the while clinging to what? Someone else to take charge of me and my life FOR me? And what would I do?

What I have learned is that once we consciously take charge of our own life without any expectations placed upon another, we start to stand taller. We start to feel that excitement of creating once again? We start to believe in our own sweet self.

So, I guess what I am saying here is that it is time to start believing in YOU for you is what you have to work with RIGHT NOW. Embrace the possibilities in doing FOR YOU, as you are guided in each moment. No longer waiting for some magical prince or princess to ride you off into the sunset. No longer living in a place of fear.

From this moment onward, start to live in a place of LOVE. If even for a moment at a time. With time, those moments stretch into minutes. Those minutes stretch into hours. Those hours stretch into days and before long, you are living in a state of bliss, creating your life moment to moment in a state of Love, joy and surrender to simply living in the moment.

That is what I have learned for today. I share from a place of deep reverence for all of our journeys…..

Namaste

So we have managed to move beyond those incredibly powerful energies that have been swirling around for the past week or so.

The Summer Solstice, the New Moon on Monday and all that those celestial events bring up for many of us are now behind as we move into the newness that is the Summer.  I facilitate a meditation circle on Tuesday nights and last night I had a full house.  I love watching the energies build as one after another these Souls walk in to the room.  There were new people present last night.  A few people that I had not seen for almost a year and of course, the regulars who seem to come for their weekly “Katrice fix”.

Everyone had been feeling the stretching that occurs as we move into a new energy and I am so very grateful that Spirit has elected me as one of those “Earth Angels” to assist during this time of transition on Planet Earth.  Of course, as humans, we are always transitioning into the new within our lives.   There are times, however, when we are pushed beyond our normal limits and during those times, it is so very helpful to have others with whom we can share these changes.

And you?  How are you transitioning through the changes in your own life?  Do you have support available when you need it?  Are there others with whom you can share those “strange” sensations or feelings that may be causing you angst?

We all need help and support at every turn in our lives.  For some of us, we have a Divine knowing that all is in perfect order which enables us to breathe a little easier….allowing us to ride out the stormy times.  Unfortunately a lot of people tend to fight the changes, wanting things to remain the way they were.  At the end of the day, do you really want everything to remain the same?  This is not possible and the sooner you come to this realization deep within your Self, the easier the coming changes will be for you and those you love.

So for today, allow yourself to ride the waves.  Reach up as the energies carry you higher.  Dive as the energies take you lower.  And be in Joy in the moment knowing that change is the only constant.

I send you blessings for a day full of love, joy, wonder and LIGHT.

Yesterday was the Summer Solstice and today is the New Moon in Cancer.  Such amazing energies with which to work as the week progresses.  

For this Soul, the past few days have been rather taxing with Father’s Day, my daughter’s birthday and other numerous get-togethers.  I loved it all but had been feeling the need to shore up my own strength in preparation for what lies ahead.  And what is it that lies ahead as we all move into the newness that awaits?

What comes to me is a vision of a Being of Light taking flight with WILL FULL abandon as she leaps into the unknown……….off the cliff and landing…..in her rightful place.  Joyful exuberance at the possibilities.  Knowing in her heart of hearts that wherever she goes, there she is.  Exactly as it is meant to BE.

As we move into this first day of Summer I feel this same joyful exhuberance settling in.  A calmness too surrounds me as I feel myself into the depths of my Being.  Like the flowers of summer, I am now willing to grow towards the Sun, relishing simply being in the Light.  My life reflects this as I allow myself free reign to explore the endless possibilities that present themselves to me on a daily basis.  There is an excitement at a deeper awareness that all is in Divine right time and order.  Life is exactly in tune with me and this part of my journey.  Balance is the over-riding them and with it comes a sense of calm and peace.  This deeper knowing,  I shall take into the days ahead.

And you?  How is your energy on this very special day?

Are you ready to embrace all the newness that lies within you?

Are you ready to explore all that life has to offer?

Are you ready to  turn yourself to the light and grow?

With this night’s New Moon, it is the perfect time to plant those new seeds in your consciousness.  Allow them free reign to grow into their rightful states of Being.  And allow your sweet Self free reign as you explore the newness that is you this evening.

I send you blessings for a day full of love, light, joy and wonder.

As Souls we are all desirous of returning to our true nature and calling.  For many, however, this journey is full of uncertainty and fear.  Why is this?

The main reason is that we have forgotten our true nature…that of a Soul moving through this human experience.  It is meant to be full of challenges as this is how we learn and grow and evolve.  We are not meant to be stopped in our tracks with these insecurities that we have come to identify with who we are.  These are simply our Higher Self’s way of bringing us into a more expanded way of thinking and living.

We have all come to this world to remember who we are and, more importantly, remember all what we already know to be true in our heart of hearts.  We have simply forgotten.  This is no reason to beat ourselves up nor to lament the fact that we are HERE.   We chose to return to a human existence one more time to realize that this life on Earth is a gift…a chance to become fully present in the here and now in every moment.

There are a whole raft of experiences presented to us in every moment of every day.  Today, why not revel in the experience and gift thanks for another opportunity to get it right.   Everything that you want to experience in your life is already here – as unmanifest potential.  All you need do is BELIEVE that what you want is available.  It is already right here at your fingertips…..you just haven’t opened to it yet.

Today take some time to breathe into the centre of your Soul and remember.  You are a beautiful Soul here to experience life and, in so doing, act as a mirror for others. 

We are all here to share our own unique knowledge of life in 3d.  All our challenges and experiences are meant to become beacons of light for others to follow, or at least shine to light on their experiences, allowing them to start to see beyond their own belief patterns.  That is the most important thing to remember here.  We just have to open ourselves to the Light that shines within – that divine spark of creation with which you sailed into this way of being, this path as a Human.

I welcome you into the Light.  Come share it with me as I share it with you.

Namaste

How many times have you found yourself holding back and worrying about what is next?  Trying to control all aspects of your life and trying to control others in the process?  Doesn’t get you very far does it?  At these times it can feel like you are paddling up stream with no clear direction as to where you are indeed heading.  Time to take a step back and re-assess that which you are attempting to accomplish.

Take a deep breath and simply allow yourself the luxury of staying in one place, regardless of how uncomfortable this particular now moment is.  As you allow yourself this quiet time, miraculously the correct answer will appear in a flash of inspiration or just a simple AHA moment…..as if a sense of magic has somehow entered your life.  THEN, and only then will it be time to take the next step…..simply following along with what the Universe is sharing with you.

Going with the flow can be a challenge when, in the past, you have always dictated the direction in which you WANT to be going.  But who is directing the flow of your life if you are continually trying to control it?  A river never tries to control its flow…it simply moves forward, allowing the rythym of the water to steer the course.  And that is what you need to work into your daily round.  A sense of surrender as you step onto a path of faith and divine acceptance for all exactly as it currently is.  It is only in surrendering to the flow that your life starts to move forward with no concerted effort on your part.  A sense of ease and grace comes to the surface.  Your face lights up with a smile as you sense the miraculous in every breath.

So take some time to breathe today.  Take some time to surrender to the flow that is currently present in your life.  It is always there.  We just need to be aware and quiet enough within to receive all that the Universe is sending our way.

May your day be full of grace as you truly surrender to the flow of all that is good and real in your life.

While driving home yesterday it hit me…….I felt happy.  Nothing of significance had occurred to warrant this feeling but still, there it was.  I felt happy and THAT was huge.

In the past there had always been some event or person or something outside of me to engage me in happiness but here, today, I was happy just because.  No special reason, just because.  There is no need for me to look outside today for inside me there is this deep well of peace and contentment rising to the surface.  I am full and complete and whole just the way I am…..right now.  I sigh.

I have been doing some pretty deep soul searching these past few months and for the first time in years, I am acknowledging that sometimes I too need to have assistance from others.  Not just commiserating with friends or acquaintances but actually setting time and money aside to be with those who are skilled in prompting others to dig deep from a place of safety and compassion.   Not unlike what it is that I do with those who seek me out for their own brand of spiritual cleansing.  Something has shifted.

This year has been one of deep cleansing for us all and, also for the planet.  We have all been seeing the intense cleansing that Mother Earth has been going through and it is obvious, at least to me, that what we are seeing outside ourselves is only a deeper reflection of what is going on within.  It is a time of coming into a place of acceptance for all that we are and all that we have been so that we can finally come to terms with where it is that we are heading and who it is that we have become.

The journey of self-discovery is one of a never ending quest.   There is no official destination for it is the journey that we seek.  The movement from one way of being to another as one continuous cycle of growth and learning is how it presents itself to me.  Is it easy?  Not particularly.  Is it useful?  Of course, but we do need to realize that we are being led by our own unique Soul Essence to discover the reasons for our being right here, right now.  Are you listening?

My work focuses on bringing people into a place of acceptance for where they are on their journey so that they can move beyond where they currently are and into a place that is more in alignment with who they are now.  There are many who are happy to sit in a place of complacency and have no desire to move anywhere else.  Oh to be one of those people!  However I have always searched for the place within my own Soul where I felt that I was playing the role that I was destined to play.  The role that would fully display my own art for we are all creator beings and, as such, our life becomes the frame that encompasses the art that we are showing to the world.

Are you showing your finest art in your framework?  Is there more that you wish to add to the picture that is your Life?  Interesting questions to ponder.

And now, today, I look out my window and see the sky is a beautiful blue and the sun is shining once more.  The sun has been shining a lot more this year and I wonder if perhaps the shift within me has somehow had an affect on how often the sun shines down upon me.  A heady thought.  Perhaps there is something to the idea that our thoughts affect our lives.  I am choosing to believe this to be true.

So just for this moment, open to the sunshine within your own life and know that you are blessed to the infinite….in every moment.

Like the ever present motion of the ocean to the shore

Our Souls send out a beam of Light to call upon once more

Assistance from our guides and God to illuminate the way

And show us all the benefits that come with the debts we pay

To clear our karma in this life for we all have come to see

Where it is we need to work – From HERE to Eternity

The lessons learned and successes felt as we come into our own

And in the end, we all will see how very much we’ve grown

It IS the growth and learning for which we all return

To this place, from other realms, for it’s HERE we’ve come to learn

To shine our Light and be as One, with God, as in the past

For heaven on earth is what we create when acceptance comes at last

Be thankful for this gift of life, for a treasure it truly is

Don’t fight, complain and question so as you reach for a state of bliss

Just live in trust and truth and Love, moving forward with ease and grace

Surrender to the Divine sense of Will and ride out this Human Race…………

……..and it does sometimes feel like we are in race, does it not?  Constantly moving and running around and yet, seemingly going no where…..Where is it REALLY that we are all in such a hurry to go?

Take a moment and allow your Self to come into a place of center.  Breathe down into the deep wells of intuitive knowing that are yours in every moment.  Breathe this knowing fully into this current moment and sighhhhhhhh, as you relax into the fullness of your being.  It is such a simple thing to do but, time and again, we simply forget.  It is not a crime.  You simply forgot that you are capable of coming back to center in every moment.  Back to the center of your Soul where all is PERFECT, as it is, in all ways.

There is so much time spent in feelings of judgment, guilt and fear during these grand times of change.  Please, please, please let these wasted emotions go.  Allow them to leave you on the breath….with every breath…..there is no need for them.  The only thing that these emotions give to you is a sense of defeat and remorse and lack.  Is this your choice?  To bring these lower based sensations into your daily round?  I think not!

There are a few changes that will become necessary in the days to come.  One of these changes will involve your choice to surrender to the Divine flow of life as orchestrated by the Creator/Source of All That IS.  Yes…….SURRENDER to the Divine within your Soul.  The part of you that IS the Creator of your life.  Allow this glowing LIGHT being that you are to rise to the surface and become the Master that you already are.

Are you ready to fully accept your mastery?   Are you ready to assume the leadership role within your own life?

Stand up tall and announce to YOUR SELF that you ARE ready to assume command of this physical vessel.   You ARE ready to move towards your dreams just as easily as they are moving towards you, in this very moment.  Put out your requests to the Universe and then allow all that you desire to manifest in this reality – in Divine right time and order.

YES, DIVINE right time and order.

It may not look like the perfect reality that you dream of BUT, it IS the perfect reality for right now, as you prepare for what is just around the corner.  So step into a place of acceptance for life just as it is right now and then, allow all the necessary changes to occur, as you find your true place within the midst of it ALL.

May you feel the infinite Love that is currently pouring down upon you, in every now moment, assisting at every turn…….
