Welcome to the glorious month of May, my dear readers! Can you believe we are almost halfway through 2024 already? Each month of this year, I’ve felt the build-up of energy, new and sparkling with an expanded consciousness of love and its possibilities, opening me to more of the unknown. The cosmic energy has set us up for a new fourteen year period of creation with the recent Jupiter/Uranus conjunction and during the month of May, Jupiter will play a major role in bringing in exactly what we need to build our new reality. Life is like a labyrinth, an unsolved mystery that keeps me forever curious as I swim in the depths of soul messages and recall more of my truth.
This is why I’m calling my 11th book, “My Soul’s Stretches, exercises in remembering.” In this post, I will share the first six poems that will be featured in the book. As I recorded each poem, I noticed that the word “mystery” is definitly the theme my spirit guides are asking me to focus on. In order to allow myself to feel into the uncomfortability of the abyss, I must utlize everything I’ve learned in the mastery of self thus far. Holding hands with trust and faith guided through experience has taught me that everything in this physical realm is temporary. Love however, is everlasting and eternal. It can never be destroyed, only built upon. Beauty is found in simplicity. Rest in that knowing my dear readers. Nature is our greatest source in which to observe this beause it just is. Being. Growing. Changing. We are one with it all as the mysteries of life continue to unfold.
I’m in the thick of training my body for a triathlon in mid-July. After taking three months off from high intensity workouts like running, I chose to focus solely on my yoga practice. Two weeks ago, I took a spin class, my first in fourteen years! What a rush of endorpins combined with great music that burns up to five hundred calories in an hour! I’m hooked and have committed to taking the class three times a week in addition to swimming, running, and continuing my yoga practice. “Where your focus goes, your energy flows” is a line from one of my favorite songs called “Energy” by the artist Disclosure. Our bodies are our vessels in which to explore this human journey. There are many ways to tap in and listen to soul messages. The adventure renews each day as I listen to what my body is asking for, becoming an expert at learning how I run energy. This is what makes us all different and also connects us. Everything is energy, my dear readers, and I invite you to become a detective. Become aware of what brings you to cultivating peace, love, and joy for that is what brings you harmony and happiness! These principles are directly related to feeling the wholeness and wellness of mind, body, and spirit. There is a wide variety of practices I utilize besides fitness that bring me to a higher state of consciousness. To know thy self and love thy self is true freedom! May these videos be inspiration for you to dive into the mysteries of your own soul and explore where life is taking you me dear readers!
I’ve been practicing yoga for almost 25 years. It was a natural progression from many years dance training . It combines my two favorite activities, breath guided movement and stretching. Yoga is like a religion to me. Practicing yoga releases stagnant energy while expanding into soul guided philosophy. Inner peace is gained while chanting mantras that lay claim to inner beliefs. I’m grateful to feel myself rising to new levels of consciousness within this wild ride of the human experience.
In every post this year, I feel the need to share the excitement in my heart of being alive on the planet at this time as human consciousness expands to the masses of awaken souls. We are remembering our own power and claiming the Light inside that connects us all . Truth and being, sovereign nature, humbled, seeking resolved as humanity is evolving at a faster pace than ever before. It starts by allowing one self to feel, tapping in by meditation and sound frequencies, as love reveals the Light we all carry. We are one, together for eternity. I highly recommend listening to 432 Hz, the frequency at which the universe vibrates and 639 Hz, which opens and balances the heart chakra for an enlightening experience of peace, love, and joy.
I channeled “Dawn of a New Age” and “The great unknown” the day before the solar eclipse last month. As I sat on the beach, I was filled with a surge of high vibrational energy that was sparking my creativity and producing a buzzing feeling inside my body. Channeling Spirit’s intentions for New Earth’s paradigm shifting reality is an honor that brings me immense joy. May you feel the hope that the healing power of love delivers and be drawn to listen with curious interest to the messages from your own soul, my dear readers. The energies in May will deliver more clarity as we now have the opportunity to absorb, process, and integrate the new downloads of spiritual guidance brought in during eclipse season and the recent Mercury retrograde. These events help us to see what has been hidden and provides us an opportunity to change our course of action. May you choose love as your guide, my dear readers.
Practicing meditation creates an intuitive space for reflection of inner realms perception. Lying still and becoming quiet is one of the ways my soul speaks as I listen. I’m grateful for the ever increasing clear connection to love and for the human experience as my mission to help heal humanity one heart at a time through poetry and shamanic healing continues to align to the highest level I can reach to be of service. I believe my poetry is medicine for the masses and will bring each of us into more harmony within our hearts. Being drawn into the depths of my being and sharing insights into the human condition used to confuse me. Now I understand that the truth and wisdom my soul has carried for many lifetimes needs to be heard. I’m here to shine and spread love. First, I had to forgive and heal myself. Like the petals of a lotus flower, I’ve thrived in darkness, overcoming adversity to re-emerge, be reborn and radiantly shine Light. Turning the immense pain I’ve experienced into power!
Painting is something I love to do. It’s how I creatively express the intuitive nature of my own soul as I allow myself to feel, hear, and see into Spirit’s many messages for me delivered through signs, symbols and synchronicities. This year of 2024 is supercharged with an expanded consciousness of love, Light and magic! “Canvas of Life” explains the experience of tapping into intuitive guidance to fine tune each chakra energy point and align to truth. This piece expresses my deepest intention along the spiritual path to enlightenment and unconditional love. There have been numerous challenges to face while adapting to the growing pains of change. I choose to view them as Divinely delivered opportunities to practice patience, acceptance and unconditional love. The more grace and forgiveness I can show to myself in these difficult moments, the more compassionate I can be with others. The relationships we engage in are filled with these lessons to teach us how to choose love for it is the softer and more gentle road to peace and unity for all.
I’ve always had a deep fascination and love for crystals. I believe this is something near and dear to my soul and is something that I’ve carried through many lifetimes as a healer. My favorite color is purple and amethysts were the ones I was first drawn to as a child. Now I own a beautiful collection that has gifted me a lot of inner peace, spiritual and emotional protection along my healing journey. They are the stone I resonate most with and often turn to for my own personal growth. They aid in growing patience, guiding me as a traveler into the unknown mysteries on the path to enlightenment along the spiritual journey. Awakening to more self-acceptance provided by God’s eternal grace is a mighty blessing. Empowered consciousness of love is what comes alive through prayer and faith.
May the month of May be a magical mystery ride for you my dear readers. My favorite song by the Grateful Dead is “Eyes of the world”. I share with you the second verse that has always rang true in my soul, and is the experience I pray you come to believe for yourself.
“Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world, the heart has its beaches, it’s Homeland and thoughts of its own, wake now discover that you are the song that the morning brings“
