Spiritual Awakening - Expanding Times Fireside Chats
Our values and beliefs colour our vision and perception of the world. They determine our actions or inaction. Thoughts affect feelings. Feelings affect behaviour. Behaviour produces results (or the lack thereof). It all begins with our thoughts, since we have to accept a thought for it to become a belief. And a belief is simply a thought we keep thinking with enough emotion and intensity to make it stick. ...

Today's podcast covers the 'thorny' topic of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome! Although I'm sure many people must have suffered from it in times long gone by, as there was no diagnosis it undoubtedly went undetected or unidentified. So to bring some clarity to the topic, I invited a wonderful lady, Margaret Lambert, who you may have heard me interview before talking about the Emotional Freedom Technique, to come back and share her expertise. She was a long-time sufferer of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue in the 1990's which then propelled her to write a highly acclaimed book...

Have you ever heard the term "awakener" and would you like to hazard a guess at what it means? And even if you have a sense of what it is to be one, would you be courageous enough to own your own gift as an awakener and stand in the truth of who you really are?...

In particular a global financial shift is upon us as our current system can no longer sustain itself. Get prepared for some big changes. In this podcast we aim to bring you up to speed on what WE believe is going on that the media and mainstream channels are not reporting ~ or perhaps are not even aware of themselves. ...

When I asked today's invited guest, Sahaja Coventry what qualifies her to talk so knowledgeably about, and work so intimately with, addictions, she said without hesitation "My addictive personality!" Go figure! Well at least she's honest...I think we all have an addictive personality in some way, shape or form if we're truthful, and it can get quite obstreperous if most of us are not vigilant, discipled and hyper aware of why we're doing what we are doing and what feelings our addictions to even seemingly innocent pursuits, such as reading, shopping or maybe even gossiping are trying to...
info_outlineBefore I summarize our latest Fireside Chat, reviewing 2013 and beyond, I wanted to share this wonderfully uplifting quote from Carlos Barrios, a Mayan priest, historian, anthropologist, researcher and an expert in the Sacred Maya Calendar. Hopefully it will give you a more positive outlook on all these current shifts and changes.
"Our planet can be renewed or ravaged. Now is the time to awaken and take action...The prophesied changes are going to happen, but our attitude and actions determine how harsh or mild they are. This is a crucially important moment for humanity and for earth. Each person is important. If you have incarnated into this era, you have spiritual work to do balancing the planet...The greatest wisdom is in simplicity. Love, respect, tolerance, sharing, gratitude, forgiveness. It's not complex or elaborate. The real knowledge is free. It's encoded in your DNA. All you need is within you. Great teachers have said that from the beginning. Find you heart, and you will find your way."
So as 2013 draws to a close, Karen and I wanted to review the last year since 12/21/12 and what many people feared might herald "the End of the World"... What was certainly a pivotal point for the dawning of New Consciousness and greater collaboration on Planet Earth has indeed brought about many shifts and transformation ~ some of it frightening and awesome in the true sense of the word, much of it touching and inspiring, depending on your perspective!
Once more we encourage you to become increasingly aware of where you're putting your attention, energy and focus and the words that you're speaking. We really DO have the choice in every moment! And again, that is not to belittle the terrible things that are happening on Earth, but do you want to "put your finger in the socket" and plug into the drama, gossip and media scaremongering or do you want to support and encourage those around you to recognize this shift as something that will ultimately bring about "Heaven on Earth"?
The earth IS evolving, just as we are and will be positively refashioned through the Shift. It’s analogous to giving birth – there is some contortion as well as some challenging and even painful moments and we don’t know how long it will take, but once we're through the birth canal, we’ll be in a new 5D reality where gratitude, co-creation, appreciation, love, oneness and instant manifestation will be our reality. Yee ha!!
We know that great changes are coming very soon (within the next 6 months even), although nobody knows for sure what they are going to look like. All we can do is to urge you to stay as grounded, centered and optimistic as possible. We believe that we all clamoured to be here, taking physical form, at this time RIGHT NOW and to play our respective roles in global awakening, even if whatever is happening around us makes us question what on earth possessed us to live THIS!
Just know that we are here for you all: to love, accompany and support anyone and everyone who might be finding this birth activation just a wee bit too much!
