My friend decided to surprise me by purchasing two tickets on a couple of the Pink Jeep Tours in Sedona. The ubiquitous pink jeep is hard to miss in town. They are simply everywhere. Unfortunately, my friend did not know that I have scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, and had to wear a back brace for two years. Nor did he know that I have three slipped discs. The last time I tried riding a roller coaster, I was slouched over for two days and riding through the rugged terrain here was going to be a rougher ride than any roller coaster.

Are You Suffering from R.A.M.? n(Rapid Ascension Movement) nby Deidre Madse Are you feeling sad, confused, experiencing unexplained body aches and pains, disorientation, loss of time, loss of memory, sudden career or relationship changes, more alienated than ever from the world, excessively letharigic, lost, heightened sensitivities to foods, medicines, or supplements, surges of unexplained emotion, unusual dreams, lashing out, bouts of depression getting worse, alte ate rea

How come we are condensed into a single point of the Universe? Is there another way of existing in it? Is there a way of experiencing the reality without being so restrained into this point of space-time? Is there any other kind of existence at all? These existential questions can lead us to ask ourselves the very basic one: who am I? Or what am I? Or even am I?

Every living thing is made up of energy vibrations. Everything has its own ‘energy imprint’ that is called its vibration. These vibrations have rhythmic patterns that move almost constantly, like the swinging of a pendulum. When you start to find yourself developing psychic skills, you are starting to connect to an increasing range of vibrations and your energy field or range begins to expand. During this expansion in the early days, the energy is often all over the place, as you might be unaware of how to settle it.

You are a creator born into your physical body to create. Whether by default or consciously, you are creating every minute of every day. If you want to be a powerful, conscious creator, who manifests dreams into reality every time, you need powerful, effective tools in your toolbox. The list below includes all the tools you need to help you: - Focus your desires more clearly - Strengthen your point of attraction - Release your habit of resistant thoughts - Raise your vibration - Positively change your life experiencesr

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom” – Anais Nin The lotus flower, a powerful spiritual symbol, begins its life as a small flower in the dark, muddy depths of a pond. It struggles in its growth as it emerges from the murky water and blooms into a magnificent flower where it lives the rest of its life in fresh air and sunlight.

In the next few weeks, my parents, Jim and Dudley Seale, will each celebrate their 79th birthdays and enter into their 80th year. They have been happily together for over 60 of those years. There is much to celebrate about their lives—the many gifts they have given and continue to give to their world, and the tremendous love they share. As I celebrate the launch of the Center for Transformational Presence, it seemed fitting to celebrate them as well, for so much of who I am and what I do has its roots in them.

SYNCHRONICITIES You know you are on your path when…………………. We are all here for a purpose, and though most of us strive to find out what that is, we don’t often appear to get the opportunity. When you start down your path though, the synchronicities that occur are solid proof that it is the right one.

Simply praying may not help much. Instead it may be more effective to meditate intensely for more than 15 minutes on the actual result of one's intent which must be in tune with the good of all and never against anyone's wishes. By understanding some of the timeless, mystical truths deeply embedded in the Lord's Prayer, one can find great comfort, guidance and inner peace, knowing that God's will for all is only happiness and prosperity. Why is Prayer Seldom Answered? Prayer is not enough.

What is this moment like if we stop assuming that it needs improving? What if we just stopped trying to make it be different than it already is? This would mean not having an agenda about what it is supposed to be like or NOT supposed to be like. What if we finally let go of thinking we knew how ...

Perhaps you may have heard of the book Conversations With God by Neal Donald Walsh? Well just recently I picked it up to read. I can't believe I never read this book when it first came out. The part I turned to, by just opening to a page in the book, was about Neal asking God about being on the spiritual path for 20 years and still struggling to survive. And I thought, "well this could be me." His questions were my questions still and very appropo. The conversatio God was having was about what it means to be Self Realized.

I am Saint Germain and I greet you with the words OMAR TA SATT. LAY'O'ESHA is the Crystal of freedom. And it is my task to embed LAY'O'ESHA in your light body, and you will decide how much of this freedom you want to absorb in your soul.

The time has rapidly approached us when we can no longer expect that the Earth changes may not effect the area you live in. The time has come for us to choose how we will respond and act as spiritual masters.

"For the ultimate or non-dual paths, the primary reorientation is take up a spiritual practice. And learn to cultivate that awareness which is not a change of state. Which is ever-present noticing, through all changes of state, waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. There is that timeless, unchanging, presence, that is your actual birthright and your original face. nnThe only way you can recognize that, again, because it's so utterly, utterly, simple, the only way you can recogniz

What would your life be like if you trusted yourself and the Universe to deliver completely on your hopes and dreams? What would you feel like? What would you be like and act like out in the world? Would you take more risks? Be bolder? Would you follow your dreams with more determination and gusto? Trust as it relates directly to myself is an interesting, and very sensitive topic for me and maybe for you. There are so many layers to it. For me, when I think about how much I r

It is important to connect to Source in order to access accurate intuitive information. In order to connect to Source, we must first connect with our Higher Self; the intermediary between the spiritual realms and our physical selves. In order to connect to your Higher Self, you must raise the ...

Letting Go is a process. Letting Go means to stop giving attention to particular person or past experience and to focus on the here and now. We hold on to the past because of our emotions. It may be painful or joyful memories. When we hang on to the past, we are clouding our view of the present. And we all do it!r

Question: nnIf there is one infinite being (and everything is an infinite possibility) then why do we need Reincarnation (individual souls having experience over and over?) We are either one infinite possibility having this experience or we are a soul having many experiences. (term soul being one continuous being.)nn Answer: nPutting aside the issue of whether we need reincarnation for the moment, your question seems to boil down to why does infinite being need to do anything

Craig’s church is in crisis. He has five elders, and two of them have made his life as Pastor of the church absolutely miserable over the last year. He thought they were spiritually mature when they ordained and installed them as elders a year and a half ago. They were managers in their businesses and the church needed leaders, so they nominated them for elder, examined them and elected them. Craig has come to the conclusion that they were not as mature as he thought. Now what does he do? And how does he develop the kind of leaders the church needs?

The "Physics" of the Astral Worlds What really are the astral worlds made of? Does time and distance really exist in the afterlife? If so, what are they like in the afterlife? Why is it so difficult for souls to communicate with Earth?

As is our custom here in the United States, more of us travel to be with family and friends than at any other time of the year. Fascinating, isn’t it, that this civil holiday, established during our not- so- Civil War, should draw so much of our time and energy. One would think Christmas would pull rank. But despite all the reasons it should, especially that consumer-based trade off under the tree, Thanksgiving seems to be the moment in time when we want to be together. Gratitude is the holiday, rather than taking a holiday. I like that.

Recently I was taking a walk and saw a bumper sticker that caught my eye. It read: Are You Blissed or Pissed? The Choice is Yours. Honestly, I couldn’t get that bumper sticker out of my head for days. Not only did I find it humorous but there was a deep message stuck to the back of that ...

OK so it has taken me this long (40 some years) – and well into menopause, midlife crisis, chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, and depression – to finally GET IT: Want to feel good again? Check this out….

My professional focus during my twenties and thirties was defining who I was as a professional woman. This entailed long days and weekends. It also required quite a bit of travel and for a few years 100% travel as a consultant. My career progressed along nicely. As I took on more and more responsibility the title on my business card became more important to me. Whatever title I had at any given time wasn't good enough; was always looking at the next rung up the ladder that I wanted to progress to. I am competitive there is no doubt about it.

As we move to the new consciousness it is important to pay special attention to our energy field, protect it, clean it and the rooms we use and ensure we remain grounded. Here are some simple but profoundly important tips to minimise the world around us affecting our vibrations. ENERGY PROTECTION

Few people are aware of the limiting power their judgments hold over the ability to live life on their own terms. Judgments are the glue that keep us stuck in unwanted outcomes. They take away the ability to be present in the moment. Holding a judgment is a belief that inhibits the transitory nature of experience. By remaining stuck in a viewpoint, rather than being open to what an experience feels like, there is little change in the world of experience. Judgments are opinions, usually with a moral edict attached.

My guidance tells me that there is nothing special about 2012 other than the significance that we place on it. If enough people agree strongly enough in a certain direction, that creates a powerful attractor and can cause a manifestation. Right now humanity is in a chaotic, fluctuating period ...

It is my belief that each person on this earth is not only special but spiritual. Each person has a spiritual soul that is connected to God (Mother/Father Creator), Mother Earth, and all of creation on the earth. For you see, everything and everyone is related and connected. All of creation includes the humans, the animals, the earth, the environment, the plants, the trees, the mountains, the elements, the rocks, and so forth.

I must admit that I always enjoyed and identified with the intellectual part of study. During my training Biochemistry was my favourite subject and I see now looking back that this was because I always felt “safe” with science. Science means the “study of the physical and natural world” so no wonder our left brain always felt at home. However over the years of observing my horses I began to realise that they operated from another “consciousness”. I noticed that when they were in need of healing they “knew” and would instinctively source the herbs and plants I had spent years “studying”r

Love is the most powerful, all-encompassing force within the universe. It is the force out of which everything else emerges. It is the root of everything that supports physical life. Like the soul drive, love is totally selfish. The word love has many different meanings. A young man, seeing an attractive young woman walking by, says, "I love her," when he really means, "I desire her." A woman says to her partner, "I love you," when, in essence, she is really saying "I respect you." A man ‘loves’ his dog because she makes him look like the best hunter.

“There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” ~Edith Wharton Have we become addicted to the dark?

What kind of religious philosophies were Jesus and his disciples studying from 29 CE – 33 CE? They couldn’t have been studying Christianity because The New Testament wasn’t completed until 325 CE (almost 300 years after the crucifixion). They surely weren’t studying Buddhism or Hinduism, so this leaves just one possibility – they must have been studying the timeless, ancient wisdom of Jewish mysticism known as Kabbalah (which was very popular in Israel during this t

Are you still waiting? Are you still waiting to see the results of all the hard work that you've been doing in manifesting your dreams into reality? The results are in, and we are pleased to inform you, that due to your constant effort in focusing and becoming disciplined in changing your thoughts, (you have been focused and disciplined, right?) you are now entering into a new energy which is bringing you what you have been wishing for and waiting for. It may not appear in the form that you expected it to be in, but none the less, it will appear.

In the past decade or so, a lot of people have become aware of the power of thoughts attracting the realities they are experiencing. This has become even more widespread in the past couple of years, due to the popularity of the movie and book The Secret and the book The Law of Attraction. People love these books because the concepts are so appealing and easy to understand. Yet, what many do not realize is that most of the attracting power of our mind is going on at a subconscious feeling level. We are not even aware of it! So how can we change something we are not conscious of?

Our culture is in overdrive and it's a challenge not to get run over. If we feel that we are in charge at the wheel, it's a challenge to keep the energy balance in our favor. We need to be sure that energy boosters outweigh energy drainers and that the sheer quantity of what we take on stays ...

Welcome to the new world! We finally made it to 12/21/12, and it feels really good, doesn’t it? Below, I’ve added a message channeled from the Keepers about what it’s important for you, the Indigo Light community to know about the Shift and the new energies. I’ll recap it here briefly in case you have trouble with the audio player: - The new energies available will help humanity to connect our hearts, not only to other humans (that’s been more available for a while, especi

In a polite society we say "thank you" after we receive a gift. While that is nice, it not exactly the way the Universe works. Many falter in the manifestation process because they believe that they do not already have what they want. After all, if you cannot see it or touch it, it is not ...

I was born with more than a sweet tooth. More like a carb-craving, sugar-addicted soul. It’s been the most difficult thing to control in my diet – sweets. Not hard candy, but rich cake-y desserts, thick sweet and creamy drinks, cookies…you get the idea. In attempt to “be healthy” I have tried every low-carb, not-so-sweet treat & protein bar on the market in attempt to satisfy the craving - until I became sick in the gut. Seriously. The quest for a healthy treat has been maddening.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone says or does something that you consider inappropriate and you fight the urge to say something? Or even worse, someone says something inappropriate or demeaning to you and you let it go, convincing yourself that they didn’t mean it or that he or she is “just having a bad day”? I’m not talking about being a spoiled sport; most of us intuitively know when someone’s being funny versus passive aggressive or just plain mean.

The main idea that seems to be spouted out whenever we hear about the Law of Attraction is that ‘We get what we think about most’. So most of us could be forgiven for thinking at first glance that if we just do something to change our thoughts then our life will change too. However it is not ...

I am Lady Nada. With the rays of my energy, with my love that I feel for you I have been chosen to bring the messages of the high vibration to you and to the collective of the energies today. I greet you with the words OMAR TA SATT.

Words are probably one of the most sacred blessings of God that we fail to value the way we should. Everything in this world revolves around this beautiful collage of words that are capable of driving young dreams to fruition or taking life to Doomsday! There is no greater marvel than emotions evolving out of the untrammelled flow of words, words full of pure emotions and true thoughts.r

As a master I understand this outpouring of love in the face of crisis in Japan and elsewhere in the world as the new foundation, the basis of the new world we are creating. What has moved me the most in these past weeks has been how the Japanese themselves have responded to what has occurred. They are being calm, honorable and having hope for all to get better soon. They are not wavering as a nation. They are from a culture where honor means everything, so there is no looting or backlash of the government. They stand strong in the face of great challenges and so we all learn from them.r

Guided Grounding Meditation, Suzanne Rose Lubkowski, Certified Intuitive Life and Wellness Coach, www.empoweringserenity.com Please prepare yourself by creating a sacred space to receive. Be comfortable and go into a place where it is quiet without distractions or others around. Sometimes particularly, if you are new to meditation and healing, some spiritual music is helpful. Give yourself the gift of grounding your energy twice a day. Energy workers recommend every twelve hours so before sleep and when you awake. The Gift of Grounding your Energy

This time of year in the season of Autumn the Day of the Dead is celebrated especially in Mexico and by Latin Americans in the US. It is also know as All Souls Day on November 1 and the Catholic holiday All Saints Day on November 2. The Day of the Dead is a time for family and friends to come together in prayer and remembrance of loved ones who have died. We can build altars or shrines in our homes to celebrate and honor our dead.r
