The Soul as a Barometer for the World

Don't you just hate it when a good day goes bad and just carries on getting worse and worse and worse! No matter how hard you try, to pull yourself out of the funk, no matter how hard you try to make the right decisions - the decisions that will make things better rather than worse - you can't, you don't and the day gets blacker and darker and just plain horrible.

You guessed it, I have had one of those days! And the thing is it should have been a great day, it should have been Top of the Pops.

Now I know we must take responsibility for our actions and I know we can't blame everything on Sun Spots and Ascension Symptoms and Karmic Returns but today got me thinking. What if sometimes, when we have these chest crushing, this is the worst day of my life, I want to end it all days which come from no where and blow up from nothing, what if what we are reacting to is not us, or them but rather the all. If we are all one, aligned and connected then maybe just sometimes our reactions are symptomatic of what the world is feeling, maybe we are a barometer for the pain and predicament of the world and the truth behind the fact that we want to end it all is because the world does, or a huge amount of people do!? Maybe the reason why the world seems black and our hearts seem to be dying inside us is because someone, somewhere out there is having the real day from he'll and we are just ... Helping to pick up the tab.

A spiritual teacher of mine once mentioned something like this to me once, told me that there where certain people, spiritual people, in the world who would help those suffering carry the burden of their fears and pain. I just never imagined I might be one of them, never wanted to be, still don't want to be and maybe I'm I'm not! But maybe you are!!!

So ... What to do (as Guru used to say) well there's the Soul - we can always turn to him or her and then there's the Divine and the Angels and the Masters and if all else fails go for a long walk, have a nap and apologise! Because not matter what is going on your husband/boyfriend/best friend/mother isn't probably going to buy your hippy new age excuse of you carrying the weight of the world upon your shoulders, no matter how true it might be!

All Parts of the Same Body!

Ulrike Gunther - a Facebook friend - commented today on my previous post about the Violet Duchess saying that many people where suffering from the same symptoms as if we where "all part of the same body"!

This got me thinking, when we are Ill the whole suffers, the pain might be localised but the whole body is effected in one way or another, the thoughts, the feelings, the metabolism, the immune system. So as we are all one, all part of each other and the Divine why shouldn't we all suffer the same or similar maladies - with one variation or emphasis or the other - as the world and humanity evolves and changes. Growing pains for the new Earth!

Today I headed home and left behind my Ma and Pa and brother with a strange mixture of relief at finally having my own space again and returning to my own home and sadness and guilt at leVying them all behind. It is - I guess - as it always has been, the need for separation, to be individual, to be alone, to be free from the Source and yet at the same time the yearning to return to it! And maybe then this is what this pain is that we experience, this heart pain and head pain and failing of the body. The yeRn to return fighting with our yearning to be separate to be individuals to be limited and free?!?

If this then is so then maybe cooperation is the solution for when the body works as a whole, combining it's resources healing occurs! Maybe then when we, humanity, all pull together we will be whole and healed again?

The Violet Duchess

The other day - at the Elsecar BSSSK Mind Body Spirit Fair - I bought Lucy Cavandish's Oracle of Shadows and Light. Tonight, after returning home with my Ma and Pa I picked the Violet Duchess card. This card talks about frustration and stifled emotions, being stuck and compliant and not true to one self, being a goody two shoes - which I have been one way or another for most of my life - and how when the true nature, our true energy, turns inwards it can cause harm. It marks a moment of honesty, an impending explosion, a revelation! It marks a moment of honesty and truth!! In my line of work maintaining professional decorum is essential, be patient with clients and students, being polite, listening - even when you don't want to, even when all you want to do is scream, or sleep, or run away! Looking after my elderly parents has also required patience, patience which sometimes, to my shame, I have lacked! But lately, whether it's with clients or my folks - or come to that pretty much anyone - my patience and tolerance levels have been way low!

This is not uncommon, many people experience it, particularly lately and some say it is because the Earth, who has always been happy to receive our negative energy and transmute it, is no longer so and is returning it back to us, making us take responsibility for it and deal with it ourselves! I'm not so sure but what is clear to me is that there is a powerful pursuance taking place, a clearing out of our anger, pain and frustration from ages past which is leaving us all at times crabby and emotional.

The guides say Flower Essences can help, the guides say use meditation to release stress and remind us that we expend more energy holding onto stuff that we do letting go of it. The guides say acknowledge it and own it but don't beat our selves up about it. Rather be inspired by it to be better, the guides say we are only human and frustration is natural at this moment in time. The guides say, and this is important, don't take it out on others but accept it and deal with it ourselves.

Easier said than done, but worth the effort I think!

Healing Through the Aura

Dear Blog,

Last night - after spending almost two entire days in his wheel chair - my Dad was very stiff and sore. He went to bed fearful he might not be able to get himself up at night and so concerned I lay awake worrying about him and thinking what I might do!

I remembered as a younger man, new to the path and still experimenting with the healing power, what I used to do every night before I slept and so I practiced this simple art again.

I unfolded my aura letting it flow out into the house, holding my Father and my Mother and Andrew my partner safely within it and then connecting to my Guardian Angel I allowed the Divine Healing light to flood through it and into them as they slept.

The next morning Dad was more flexible and optimistic capable of standing with greater ease and grace. I allowed myself a secret smile and thanked Spirit for this small miracle.

My parents return home tomorrow, it's been a little stressful caring for them, trying to keep them entertained and watching them at times in pain and looking a little lost so far from home. But it's been wonderful to laugh with them, love them and care for them as they have done and still do me.

I thank the Gods for them and ask that they be ever held in the Divines healing light.

The Healing Power of Places

Dear Blog,

I find it amazing how much a place can heal, I mean a place ... not necessarily a sacred place or even a quiet place but just a different place, with a different pace of life.

Whilst my parents have been staying the wonder of the location in which my home is situated seems to have folded around them, healing them, restoring them and in certain cases bringing stuff up to be cleared! Today was no exception when a friend of the family - who has been suffering from bereavement - happened by and despite being quite the towny simply did not want to leave! After a while they began to speak about their bereavement and it became apparent that our space was forcing these feelings to the fore to be further healed.

In this day and age then, when healing is so important and so needed, how vital it is for us to remember that sometimes all we need to do is find the right place to facilitate the change that we need and the healing that we require! Nothing more and nothing less than this!

1st September

Dear Blog,

It's the 1st of September and there is already a wimsy of Autumn in the early morning despite the Indian Summer we seem to be experiencing.

My mention of my "Ascension Symptoms" on Facebook has generated a fair amount of response from "fellow sufferers" and I wonder what I can do to help us all? Maybe some words of wisdom from on high are called for, I'll see tomorrow if time presents itself for me to ask!

Today Andrew and I took my Mum and Dad to Haverthwaite steam train and then onto Lakeside and the Aquarium! Quite a mixture but still the day for me had an over riding theme of beauty, the Summer sunlight on the tree's as the steam train pulled away, the magical steam collecting like clouds at the tops of the sooty tunnels as the train passed through, the incredible fish swimming around and over us in the Aquariums tunnel and my Ma and Pa, like wise old children discovering the world for the first time, beautiful. Strange how, as they have aged - they are now in their late 80's, they seem to be returning to child like states whilst retaining their memories and wisdom!

September the 1st feels like a bold new adventure and despite all the many things left over from August which I really should have done but didn't and all the things that lay before me pigeon holed into my calendar I feel oddly optimistic and excited! What wonders might this month bring?

Whatever they might be I will try to embrace them with humour and grace, yes humour and grace ... this will be my mantra for the month!

Floods in Pakistan

Many people are beginning to ask about the spiritual significance of the flooding in Pakistan. There has been some suggestion that the waters are being used to cleanse Pakistan if negativity, cleansing being one of the properties spiritually speaking of water. However this is ONLY ONE of waters spiritual properties, others being flow, grace, conductivity, psychism, dreams and will. It seems - in my opinion - a little over simplistic to imply that cleansing might be the only possibility and indeed if this where the case surely the Divine could find another way that wouldn't endanger so much innocent life? Maybe the answer lies not in the significance of water but rather the imbalance of the Earth! It wouldn't be the first time our planet has sought to heal itself by resorting to actions which to humanity are catastrophic! Whatever the reason our thoughts and healing energy must be focused upon the people and the land if Pakistan.
