The Mystery & Magic of my MRI

Time and time again I learn the value of trusting Spirit. Without that trust I wouldn’t have experienced the amazing healing that occurred while I lay inside an MRI machine to determine the cause of my extreme brain fog.

Physical and emotional symptoms, which accompany our ascension process, include feeling disoriented, as well as being at a loss for words and other weird experiences. So when I got lost the first time in a familiar neighborhood, I simply chalked-up my mysterious experience to the higher vibrations. After all, really strange phenomena have been happening to me for years, as part of my learning of new dimensions and timelines. However as weeks passed, my brain fog worsened and threatened my safety. I needed help, and so I asked.

I reached out to two powerful spiritual sisters, both of whom I absolutely trust, to help shed light on what was wrong. I couldn’t write a sentence without laboring over words and enduring major confusion. I couldn’t focus. And I stopped giving intuitive readings, which made me feel even worse. In separate private sessions, both healers alerted me to get an MRI. Even though I felt reticent to do so, my concern of early onset dementia (I’ve suffered several major concussions) prompted me to follow their directives and schedule a brain MRI.

As I called in my spirit guides and envisioned my priestess cave sanctuary in meditation, the banging of the massive machine came crashing into my ears. If you’ve ever had an MRI, you know that loud sound! Mysteriously, hundreds of writhing snakes appeared in my vision and, as I am NOT a snake lover in 3D, I cautiously scolded these creatures and pronounced that this was ‘my meditation and I had not invited them in!’ I laugh in retrospect because I know snakes are harbingers of healing… symbolically shedding the old and merging into the new. Remembering this and somehow relaxing into total trust, I surrendered to what Spirit had provided and opened to the snakes slithering into every orifice of my body. It’s a miracle in and of itself that I wasn’t freaking out. I invoked support, and I trusted.

As my body slowly emerged from the MRI machine, my previous awareness of a cotton-like mass in the exterior left quadrant of my brain simply dissipated. Something big had shifted in my head! Later that day, as I lay resting and sending deep gratitude to my guides—as well as the snakes—I instinctively knew I received a healing. My experience was surreal and magical! Tears flowed gently as my guides spoke ever so softly revealing ‘the grace of healing’ I received because I trusted the guidance that was given. I was reminded that snakes are, indeed, represented on the medical caduceus because of their transformational energy. Later I also discovered that the tremendous banging that resounded during my test also provided the perfect cacophony of sound to resonate in my brain in order to shake up and release the energetic blockages clouding my awareness. On so many levels everything cleared!

It’s no coincidence that The Magic & Mystery of the New Earth Matrix is the topic of my presentation at SHiFT Charlotte next week. And I am deeply grateful and certainly thrilled to have experienced my own magic to help prepare for what’s to come and help others trust in their own mysteries of life.

We Create Our Reality

Quantum physics has proven that our thoughts, words and actions create our reality; we call it forth. We are personally involved in attracting or repelling what appears right in front of us at any given moment. There are no coincidences; nothing is random.

For many it is a huge paradigm shift in perception to fully comprehend that we actually co-create our lives with Spirit- both individually and collectively. What we believe and how we respond to life in each moment makes a difference. Thoughts matter. Words matter. Actions matter. All of these components work inextricably in unison to become matter!

As I step forward as a bridge to the higher realms, I opened and received powerful energies of the August Full Moon Eclipse and The Lion’s Gate portal immediately following. In meditation, I was downloaded with a symbol and pertinent information to consider about the nature of creation.

Here is the image revealing the interplay of masculine and feminine energies on the quantum field (expressed in watercolor medium) and below the accompanying channeled message from AA Metatron:

“From the Void springs forth energetic patterns of creation onto the matrix of time and space. The spark of creation birthed in imagination, resulting in form.

Know, Dear One, distortion of what you desire to create results from a lack of wholeness; incomplete patterns which mirror unclear focus and interrupted flow in part due to mental or emotional blockages or half-hearted desire.

Passion, clarity, and focus appear as proportional and precise geometries that further attract all aspects of creation. In simpler terms, clear focused energy input results in desired energy outcome.

As humanity ascends collectively to the higher dimensions, you are manifesting faster. In Earth’s dual-natured world, balance of Divine Masculine and Devine Feminine energies— of giving and receiving, moving and resting, feeling and thinking–are integral aspects of creation that is complete and whole. Masculine and feminine principles create in unison on the time/space quantum field.”
~ I AM Metatron

Thus, we are urged to live in balance; to fan our flames of passion and imagination; to think and act intentionally, and to speak with clarity. Valuable knowledge for magnetizing our creational power and manifesting what we truly want in life. Simple formula, perhaps, but no small task. Creation is intricate and multifaceted. As is our reality, our world and our universe.

To Get Clear, Be Clear

When we want clarity, we are usually at a major choice point. We must decide on a new path, due to circumstances we are conscious of or maybe totally out of our control. We seek clarity when what we thought was our purpose or supposed to happen doesn’t work out. People die, accidents happen, challenges arise and the best laid plans fall through. Our human nature wants us to be clear when we are faced with unpredictability. We seek the next best alternative- often to end our suffering or return to feeling safe, secure and valued on our journey. Sometime we simply want to be clear about how to manifest what we want or develop more powerful skills. Any and all of these reasons and desire to be clear requires change. Brendon Burchard, a skillfull mentor in this area, states what we instinctively know: “Without clarity there is no change.” The Universe is ready to provide, but we are the ones who need to be clear about what it is we want.

In my spiritual practice, those who come to me for guidance declare they want clarity. They are tired of carrying the weight of confusion and doubt. Sound familiar? Many, myself included at various times in the past, want someone else to shine the light on our turmoil and give us clarity; to figure it all out for us. But I’ve learned that ‘seeking’ outside of ourselves does not work out for our highest good that way –at least in the long run– and here’s why….

Clarity does not originate from an outside source, although paradoxically, surroundings do play an important role (you will see how in my steps to clarity below). The popular phrase among New Agers, ‘What’s in your matrix?’ relays a valuable scientific understanding that everything is energy and energy either attracts or repels. Energy is the force behind what shows up and, primarily, you are the driver of that force. Do things happen outside of your control? Sure. People die, jobs disappear, disasters happen. But when you are uncertain about what you want, the weak unclear, or even fear-based energy of your thoughts, words and actions (and reactions) can attract anything and everything. Especially what you don’t want! So being clear is vital to attracting what you want in life.

The reality is YOU are the one who holds the key to your own clarity. The more people you ask, the easier your vision becomes muddied with everyone else’s opinions and agendas. Doubt creeps in and saps your strength and assuredness. Rather than wishing for clarity, you must go within to investigate the inner terrain of your own heart; dare to discover what you truly desire. A mentor may help you realize erroneous thinking and unconscious negative habits, but ultimately your journey must take you deep within your self. The heart is the doorway to clarity.

The universe is always asking what do YOU want? Once you tune in and declare your desires, then call in Source/God and your angels and unseen guardians. They are willing spiritual helpers whose purpose is to support and guide and whose presence is of high vibrational energy. But because of your free will, no force however well intended is allowed to step in and do the work for you. Spirit asks YOU to be clear.

Being in touch with your heart’s desires may feel uncomfortable at first. We are seldom taught this skill of going within for self-discovery. Society and well-intentioned families often reward putting others first, rather than honoring personal desires. Of course, there are times when you need to be of service and help those less fortunate. But to continually avoid your own heart’s calling keeps clarity at bay. Balance being self-less with acknowledging your ‘Self.’ This applies even if you are a Light worker, nurse, teacher or anyone ‘in service’ to others. Grabbing the oxygen mask first before helping someone else is the perfect metaphor for tending to your own heart and patiently listening to what it reveals. This is where clarity lives. Your heart is so committed to your personal growth it doesn’t care if it breaks. Your heart seeks expansion. It will break open to allow that to happen. Oddly enough, when our hearts break, clarity still resides within the pieces when we are ready to put aside our pain and bear witness to it. Go within and see for your Self!

Once you open to your heart, look around. The adage ‘As within so without,’ exemplifies the mirror of life and provides insight as to why you may be the one preventing clarity from showing up. Take an honest view of your surroundings. Have you made space for clarity? Do you make heart-based choices? Do you hold yourself accountable? Are you clear about your relationships? Lots to consider and examine both within and outside of you.

In support of all who seek CLARITY, I offer 8 simplified but important steps:

  • Nurture yourself. You can’t be clear when you’re exhausted physically, mentally and/or emotionally. Honor what your body needs to be healthy and live in a balanced state. Ask yourself, “Am I doing everything I can to maintain health and wellness?” If you see areas for improvement, commence with the changes- even if they’re only baby steps. What’s important is that you begin.
  • Make time to sit and be still. Do this until your meditation time becomes a habit. Quieting the mind takes practice. Allow your inner wisdom- your heart- the opportunity to be heard. Following the breath, repeating a mantra or listening to soothing sounds of nature are all conducive to getting your brain into the alpha state of quiet. Peace resides here. Then, pay attention to thoughts that arise. In stillness is the opportunity to tune into your inner guidance- your heart; your Higher Self. You will discover clarity.
  • Clear your space. Your physical surroundings are energy, too. Look around. Is your living space or working area overly cluttered? Einstein had a messy desk, but he was so tuned-in to his genius that his desk made little difference. Most of us are simply not that aware and use only a small portion of our massive capability. So, take a revealing look into your closets and drawers. Are they jam-packed and filled with outworn or outdated belongings no longer worn or wanted? Do you hang on to things that trigger sadness or hurtful memories that keep you stuck in the past? Remember, your outer surroundings are a mirror of your inner terrain. Clear the energy of your ‘stuff.’ Donate items to charity or deliver to the trash. Let go of things that make you feel sad or remorseful. You can think and respond clearer when the energy around you is clear.
  • Set boundaries for clarity. Keep those who would derail you from your purpose at a distance or at least limit time with them. And if this isn’t negotiable, be sure to step away often for breaks and be careful not to adopt anyone else’s negative attitudes or criticisms as your truth. Your journey is not theirs. Be polite but assertive. Energy vampires suck the life out of your being clear.
  • Be mindful; focus on the present moment. ‘Now’ is a gift, a present of life. No more multi-tasking trying to overdo. Accomplishing more is not the answer. Slow down. Breathe deeply. Keep to the task at hand. Stop every now and then to listen to your heart, your body, and your loved ones. The sooner you realize how important it is to pay attention to what is right in front of you- ‘what’s in your field,’ the sooner clarity surfaces.
  • Words have power. Use them wisely. Every time you declare, “I don’t know what I want,” you strengthen a denial of your heart. “I am listening more and more to my inner wisdom,” allows rather than negates your knowing. Stop reinforcing your doubt with words. Release habitual sayings that prevent positive change, like: ‘I can’t remember names… I will never get over ‘this’ or ‘that,’ I always have bad luck …’ Speak positively in order to clear out old patterns.
  • Actions keep the momentum of clarity going. Once you tap in to your heart’s guidance, muster up the courage to act, Follow through with steps to anchor changes needed for growth and expansion. Trying is not doing. It may take more than once to hit your mark, but continually aiming at the target will strengthen your skill. Don’t try to aim. Aim and shoot. Like the sculptor, keep chiseling away at the concrete block to reveal the beautiful statue within. You will reap the reward of clarity through focused, repetitive action.
  • Gratitude sustains positive energy. Being thankful for what is, allows the flow of Grace, reveals new doors opening as others close, and invites opportunity for positive change. Feel the wondrous energy of what it would be like to have what you want. Be it. Own it. Act the part. Thanking the universe for providing what you desire, affirms what you seek is available. You see, it’s already here… waiting for YOU to be CLEAR.

A Beacon for Safe Passage into the Light

     Assisting a soul in its transition from 3D earthly life through the veil into the higher dimensions is humbling as well as fascinating. And never in a million years did I ever imagine playing such an important and vital role for my dear childhood friend upon her death.
     While providing an energy session for a client, my inner vision opened and a male figure appeared.  As is my custom, I began describing this man’s physical traits to the woman lying on my healing table. Usually, my client’s recognize the loved one, spirit guide, or angel and is deeply moved by their presence and any messages relayed. And I am truly honored and grateful to be of service in such a remarkable way. However, this time was different. As my client did not recognize the vision I described, I dismissed what I saw, returning my focus to the energies at hand. Within the hour, however, I would discover that this visitation was for me personally.  
     After the session, an unexpected text from a close friend in Michigan appeared on my phone. “I am so sorry to hear about Penny,” Debbie wrote. My heart sank as I recalled that my childhood friend, who was more like a big sister, had been admitted to the hospital a few days earlier. Instantly, I understood. A return message confirmed that Penny died. My chest felt crushed under the heavy weight of sadness. Fast moving images of indelible childhood memories flooded my consciousness. I ran outside, seeking solace in nature to release deep-felt emotions. Crying alone and deeply grieving, I witnessed the male figure suddenly reappearing. Through my tears I slowly recognized John’s face– my old neighbor from Alvin Street. His expression serious– his plea urgent. ‘Please, help Penny. Help my daughter.’ 
     This urgent request sent my mind reeling. Why would Penny need help? Was this message out of time before she passed? Wasn’t  it too late?

     My mind spinning, I pulled out of my emotions and dove inward to summon spiritual guidance and gain clarity. Within moments my inner vision revealed the most unusual sight. I witnessed my dear ‘big sister’ reeling through space, like a sky diver slowly free falling and aimlessly drifting. Penny appeared to be in-between worlds, dazed and confused. I knew why I was contacted. I needed to help my dear Sweet Sister navigate through the ethers and find her way Home.
     Spirit reveals several explanations for the apparent confusion of some souls in transitioning to ‘the other side.’ Fear is the predominant factor that blinds us from the guiding Light, as this lower vibration keeps us literally in the dark. And sudden death that precludes a conscious or subconscious awareness of death also can be a factor.  Later, I found out that Penny had suffered a massive heart attack– a sudden, shocking release that sent her reeling through the veil without a willful letting go. Perhaps her fear of what happens after death suddenly threw her off track and into an abyss. This was the message delivered by a spiritual sisters whose visionary ability ‘tapped into’ Penny’s circumstances. A few years earlier I had helped my cousin find her way into the Light after being in between worlds while she lay a coma on life support. Somehow within me emerged a profound remembering of how to assist. I summoned the Light to illuminate the vastness.
     Facilitating safe passage for someone who has died is, indeed, a special calling. One that is humbling in its magnitude and importance. I never imagined myself doing such work, but there I was, summoned to help a old friend navigate between realms.
     The good news is that our loved ones, and even beloved pets, gather to welcome us as we depart from one dimension and enter the next. I celebrate my most memorable spiritual experiences as witness of such loving and wondrous occasions. Paradoxically, as we morn the loss of someone dear to us, his or her soul family celebrates their return to ‘the other side.’ A joyful Home-coming!

I remain deeply honored to share this remarkable journey; to assist others on their path of awakening- whether on this plane or the next- to the truth of our Divine Nature. And I humbly thank you for sharing this path with me.

It’s Meant to Be No More

Today while speaking with a dear friend, the familiar phrase ‘It’s meant to be’ came up in conversation. Immediately, I felt the characteristic tingle on my shoulder blade from my spirit guide on the Councils of Light heralding her presence and urging me to speak an important message: Nothing is ‘meant to be!’ 
Thanks to quantum physics and the wisdom of sages, we are shown that we create our reality with every thought, word and deed- consciously or otherwise. And what follows, therefore, is the realization that absolutely nothing in life is pre-ordained. Our soul evokes circumstance and challenges to further our human development. And soul families are catalysts in those life lessons.
We create our path one step at a time.
What IS is what we create; what results in everyday life is a complex compilation of our personal matrix blending and shaping its many forms and outcomes in combination with the matrices of those immediately in our circle of influence… and then interfacing with others nearby… our community… our country…. and also our dear Mother Earth (let us remember always that She, too, is a living Being). Thus, we are a part of one large matrix interfacing and interacting with our individual matrices. Each moment reveals the ebb and flow of all creational and evolving energies.
However we choose to focus our attention and take action- or not- is a directly associated with what shows up in our life’s energy matrix. Every moment of every day’s experience is in constant flux. ‘What is meant to be’ is not an outside force that precludes our involvement.

As we release what no longer serves us in our evolution to higher consciousness, we must acknowledge that nothing is ‘meant to be!’ When we stop using that old adage, we begin to fully acknowledge that ‘what is” is just that.
