When we connect with our soul and start to get “directives” or guidance from our soul it can be very difficult to live and make choices from our soul. This is because the soul is the opposite to the ego/mind. The directives from soul go against everything we have grown up to believe in terms of how we should live our lives. This makes it very confusing to know when to follow our soul guidance as we can constantly feel like we are doing the “wrong thing” by following our soul. To evolve into the 5th dimension we must embody our soul. This means we can’t just connect with our soul and feel all lovely and peaceful and then go about our lives making the same 3rd dimensional fear based choices. It has to change from the inside out by connecting with soul, listening to the guidance and then taking action. By taking action from soul the soul then becomes a part of the human experience, not just some distant connection and this is how we embody (or become) our soul in our physical existence. Therefore, it gets easier the more your actions are aligned with soul, as you start to embody your soul more and more. Then the soul mind easily overrides the natural fear based instincts as your soul is closer to your everyday life. Taking the first steps in listening to the soul mind can be the most difficult and confusing stage because a soul directive usually goes against every 3rd dimensional instinct that you have grown used to. A few ways to know if you are making a choice based on soul:
When you have had some practice making soul based choices, you will also notice that you are guided through the action steps via your heart space and not your head. This feels very different in your body. When your heart guides you there are no thoughts, no list to check off, no planning or organizing or scheduling. Instead an idea pops into your head and you action it straight away in perfect timing in the flow of your life. Things just work out in the flow. The will of the universe, your life flow and your soul are all linked. If you are making decisions based on your fear based logical thinking mind, then you are not connected to any of these. You are operating amongst the 3rd dimensional world and therefore responding to what is going on around you – not what is going on within you according to your soul, flow and the will of the universe. So it will often feel like you have no power behind your choices, that they are hard work, even a struggle sometimes to get things done. But soul based choices come from within with the entire power of the universe behind them, so a path will be cleared so that you can take action according to the flow (timing), guided by your soul urges. This way of living from soul is almost completely opposite to the way we are used to living from our minds in a 3rd dimensional world, so it is no wonder it can take some getting used to, not to mention lots of courage and faith (in yourself) to follow through with your deepest soul urges. So if you are sick of the struggle and never feel like you have found the fulfillment you have been searching for, it might be time to go within and spend some quality time getting to know your soul so you can listen to your soul guidance and take action from this space. The more action is taken from the space of soul in this world, the faster the world will change and we will all be able to live by the new “rules” of the 5th dimension anchoring this reality into the existence of all.

This week in Adelaide we have had the worst storm in recent history. The conditions were extreme and there were tornados that took out the state’s power supply and flooding in rural areas. Last night while bunkering down during very strong winds and heavy rain, I saw on the weather report it was predicted to be very warm and sunny the following week. It seemed impossible to be predicting warm and sunny weather in a few days when it was so stormy. But this is how cycles work and also how personal healing works. When we bring in “love and light” energy (higher vibrational healing energies) they literally shine a light on what needs to be brought to the surface to be seen and felt and processed so these denser parts of us no longer subconsciously affect our choices and our limited mindsets. We then feel like we are experiencing a “shit storm” of emotions and feelings while we are processing buried energies, and the storm rages within us, it feels like it will never end….. but then the clouds part and we feel the bask of the warm glow of light, love and peace. Then the process starts again….. Not only is the cycle of weather a good analogy for how inner healing works, but the recent storms in Adelaide may have stirred up an “inner storm” within many people. When something happens outside of ourselves (in our environment) it can be a perfect reflection of what is within us that still needs to be processed and healed. It is a great healing opportunity for personal growth and transformation. With the power off and phone networks down this could have left people feeling very isolated and cut off from the world. Inner anxieties can build within because this was a situation that no one could control and the lack of information meant that people could not prepare for what was happening outside, because they could no longer track the weather map or get news updates on danger. If this happened in your reality, then it could have been showing you to let go of fear and of the unknown and to trust in the process and cycle of life. Sometimes it takes these events to help bring up to the surface what we need to see about ourselves that we couldn’t see before. I heard others report that they enjoyed the peace and solitude and personal connections they formed during the blackout and loved hearing the sounds of the wind, rain and thunder outside. While in others this would have caused anxiety, fear and emotion. The outer events help bring up what is within us ready to be seen, heard and felt. It is a very individual process. So if you are going through an inner storm of change and emotions, know that the clouds will part and the sun will shine very soon. Don’t be afraid to feel what you need to feel and see what you need to see so that you can move through your healing cycles and transform. The September energies have been intense so far. I wrote about the 999 portal energies last Friday but wanted to add a few more insights about what many of us are experiencing. You could view September as a month where a portal or gateway in our galaxy has opened and we are being infused (or bombarded) with new and different vibrations from the universe. These energies are infiltrating their way into every cell of our bodies, our consciousness and every part of our planet and existence. Even if you are not aware of these energies you will be noticing the changes within you and around you. When these higher vibrations enter our bodies they literally “squeeze” out anything that is of a lower vibration so that they have space in our body and our body can hold the light energy of these vibrations. These lower energies are any thoughts, emotions or beliefs that will no longer serve us as we evolve. They are energies of the old earth, and we will not need them as we live as New Humans on a New Earth. This may sound like a fairy tale to some of you, but things are shifting and changing and we are headed for a monumental planetary shake up in order to, not just survive but to thrive. When these higher vibrations enter our physical bodies our cells are upgraded and will vibrate at higher frequencies. In order to do this we need to lose old energy and make room for the new. This is why it may feel like you are up and down constantly – one minute you may feel on top of the world (the high vibrations entering) and the next minute you may feel like you are dealing with the worst fears and emotions you could imagine (the lower energies leaving). You may also be feeling exhausted, needing a lot more rest so that these integrations and upgrades can take place. It feels to me as if these ups and downs can be smoother if we notice the emotions and fears as they come up and just let the release happen. If you fear or resist the uncomfortable feelings, then they linger – if you just surrender to having to feel them (no matter how dark and unpleasant they are) you will find that the release process if very quick. And then in minutes you may be feeling fantastic again. You may feel like you are going crazy, but I can assure you that you will find stability and peace again, but from a space of the high vibration. So if you are dealing with a lot of fears, emotions, old beliefs, just let them be released. Bring awareness to the triggers that set you off and love and accept the process. It will pass much quicker than you anticipate. Every experience that you are having at the moment is helping you understand these beliefs or emotions that don’t serve you anymore. So if you are currently having money troubles or relationship troubles then see this an opportunity to help you understand money or relationships from a higher vibrational viewpoint. Work through the difficulties with an understanding that the old way you have been approaching this is not working anymore and that with the new vibrations will be a new understanding and new way of doing things. So try not to get to narrowly focused on what is going wrong, but step back and know that you are seeing what can go right, maybe for the first time ever. These new higher vibrations are in alignment with our soul. So each time we release a lower energy, thought, emotion or belief, we are allowing our soul to emerge and merge with our physical body along with these higher vibrations. Know that if you are going through what I describe, you are definitely not alone. Things will get smoother as September ends. 2017 is a new beginning for each of us and for our planet as we enter a new cycle and so we are being pushed to let go of everything that will not belong in this new cycle – we can’t carry it through. So try and surrender to the process, give up what doesn’t serve you anymore and welcome in the new ways and awareness that will come with this shift. Life in my 20s and early 30s revolved around my job as a clinical researcher. I identified with myself as an intellectual person with two university degrees, who had a stimulating job which enabled me to use my mind, travel the world, explore science, meet interesting people and therefore, through my job, I could reinforce the view of myself as an intellectual academic person. This is who I thought I was; it was really the only identity I had ever created of myself. I only knew myself as this person who was the same person that others could see, hear and touch. My self-worth was also completely tied up in how well I did my job as it was the only measure I had of myself. Because I viewed myself as an academic person, I had to reinforce this with outcomes at this level and so pushed myself mentally to achieve this. When I got sick in my early 30s I could no longer work. My whole identity was taken away from me. Even my new identity as a mother of 2 young children was taken from me because I was not well enough to physically take care of my children’s needs. I became depressed because I did not know how to live in this world without my identity. I did not know who I was or how to function in the world anymore. I did not know my place or my worth. When my identity was taken from me; who I thought I was turned out to be an illusion tied up in the external world. I had to set out to find out who I really was – not an employee, student, mother, daughter, wife or any of those roles, but who I was inside – the part of me that was always constant no matter what was happening in the external world. Finding the real me – who I was at soul level, not only helped me out of the depression so I could function in the world, but it enabled me to thrive in the world because I had such a clear knowledge of who I authentically was. It is usually when things don’t go to plan in our lives or when we are suffering, that we realise who we thought we were, was just an illusion – it was a reality that we created but it was not the reality that was created from or connected to our soul, it was a reality connected to our ego and the outside world. It is then we need to look deeper within to connect to our true selves. If we only identify with the part of us that feels like it is suffering because of a loss of identity or because of what is happening to us in the outside world, then we create more suffering. The way out of this suffering is to travel inward towards the soul and find the truth of who we are so we can bring this truth out into our world. Through my personal story and my experiences, I have learned how to find out who I am, and how to live as that person in my world and create my reality via my soul self (not via my outside world). Everything I now write about, teach and facilitate with my clients has to do with finding who we are and being who we are. This is the most important thing we can do for ourselves – simply get to know ourselves at a deep authentic soul level. If you are ready to discover your soul self and learn how to bring this part of you into the world and into your reality, you are invited to join the soul gifts e-course which starts on Monday 12th September. We are in the 9th day of the 9th month in a 9 year (2+0+1+6=9). Nine is the vibration of endings and completion. But with each ending is also a new beginning. You can’t have the new without letting go of the old, and you can’t let go of the old without welcoming in the new. When I woke very early this morning on this 999 day I could feel this energy like a thousands hands behind my back pushing me - to see things more clearly, to keep moving forward and to not look back, to clear my path, to let go of what is holding me back and to share more of myself with all of you. I was surprised at the intensity and flow of energy today, which is a welcome change to the heavy energies that have been around for a few weeks. The 9 energy is helping us all see our life paths more clearly and like a thousand hands the 9 is gently (or not so gently!) pushing us all forward. Remember the 9 energy is about endings so that there is space for the new. Whether you know what the new is or not, the endings are happening! The last few weeks (or even months) you may have been feeling that things aren't working, there may be struggle leading you to contemplate change, or roadblocks, or everything that is inside of you that needs clearing out may be coming up to the surface. This can feel heavy and confusing. Today things may become clearer. You are evolving, now more than ever. Take notice today as the energies of the triple 9 help us all end what needs to end and start what needs to start. Evolution is speeding up. Imagine the last 9-year cycle has led up to this moment. These next few months of this year will wrap up this whole cycle not just for us individually but for the planet. No matter what personal year cycle you are in, you will be feeling the 9 energies. Endings are difficult, especially when you feel the familiar losing its grip and falling away, but you don’t know what the new is yet. We can’t hold tight to the familiar just because the new hasn’t shown up in our life yet though. At some point it may be necessary to let everything go and then with a clean slate and lots of empty space, just invite the new to show up. Some people need to firmly close the door on the old before the new door opens. The in-between stage can feel like you are in no man’s land, with nothing to latch onto, nothing to look forward to and no clue what direction your life may head in next. It can be confusing and feel unstable. But when it doesn’t seem possible to continue on the current path or go back to the old ways, then there is no choice but to make space for the new, whatever that may be. Evolution is about change and we can’t stop the flow. Surrender and make space for whatever new is coming your way. The 999 energies today will help with the forward momentum and speed up this process. Be a willing participant and use these energies to your advantage as much as you can. |
