Inspirational Snippet: Self Doubt

Good Day Beautiful Beings of Light!
So many changes have been happening, so many decisions have been pressed to the forefront and so many choices are still being weighed out--these are the times on our planet right now and no one is left untouched.  Some people may be distracting from what needs to be decided or done, while others are ready to go forward full throttle, but the energy is not so easy on us.  The pressure is on and yet, some of us still hold back. I came across this quote today and it inspired me to write my thoughts about it below:   

Doubt is the vestibule which all must pass, before they can enter into the temple of truth.—Charles Caleb Colton

On our journey we encounter much doubt, especially within our self and for our self.   This is true within this journey upon earth.  Doubt not only keeps us humble, but keeps us in authenticity with ourselves.  It is what helps us find our way.  So if you are going through life confronting some self-doubting that is okay, as it is what it is.  Simply remind yourself that you are learning to trust in who you are.  Trust your path....and accept that there will be moments of doubt; but move on from there as there is no need to linger and rehash what you are doubting....just make your decisions from your heart and trust in your choices. 

I know sometimes I write things that seem easier said than practiced.  We all often revisit lessons we think we have learned and thanks to Mercury Retrograde, we often revisit for a few weeks several times a year.  Rather than look at it a s a bad thing, it may benefit you to view it as an opportunity to pull back another layer to discovering who you are. 

Ask yourself some questions  to help you through the experience of doubting yourself:

• In what areas of your life do you find doubt creeps in the most?

• In what areas of your life do you find that the doubt is influenced by societal beliefs, familial beliefs or even religious beliefs? 

• In what areas of your life do you find that you nurture your doubt by surrounding yourself with negative energy (people that are not uplifting to your soul)?

Some Tips for you:

1. Surround yourself with love-inspired people as those relationships are the most rewarding to have.  It is powerful beyond all belief.

2. Acknowledge that you are feeling self-doubt, but do not let it defeat you.  Acknowledge it for what it is: perhaps it is fear of change?   Fear of success?  or simply fear of the Unknown?  Whatever it is, it is okay that you feel this way presently, but do not allow yourself to stay stuck in it.  Think for a moment, what will bring you closer to your heart's truth.

Many blessings to you all on this sunny, winter day in CT.   My wish for you is to embrace the doubt to find your way to inner truth.

Love to you,
EstaRa

Inspirational Snippet: Everything is a Miracle

Inspirational Snippet: Everything is a Miracle

Life is filled with so many things everyday that we are not always aware of what comes our way.  Here is a quote I came across and wanted to share:

“Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.”
~Aldous Huxley

So I say make today a new day and become aware of all things that happen and begin to be grateful for what you see, what you do, what you experience…I promise it will change your life today.  What  a perfect way to carry on through this new moon energy and the merging of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine.  For example, you can start by being grateful that you woke up this morning with a new opportunity to play “in your spirit”.  Or for the sun shining so brightly even though in connect the morning temperatures are close to zero.  Or the traffic light that turned green at the right time or turned red at the right moment and you looked up and got the most needed perfect sign from spirit by looking over to a building right in front of you with words to answer your prayers---that is something to be grateful for…if you look you shall always find it. There are miracles every day and in every way--it is all a matter of perception.  Don't take one more minute for granted recognize the miracles in your life and I promise you --you will always find more of them.  And one day, it WILL be the one you have been waiting for....


My wish for you is to notice everything and see it as a miracle! 

Love to you,
EstaRa

February Message From EstaRa

Dear Family of Light (Friends, Clients, Students, etc.):

          I’ve been away since just after Christmas and I have missed you all!!  The night after Christmas, I sat down to do my nightly grounding and prayers when I looked across my room to see that I needed to fill my humidifier.  I went to fill the humidifier when I heard and felt a crunch in my back, I literally got stuck. I couldn’t move without screaming and crying. As you know, I had not fully recovered from my car accident injuries, my back and leg were still very weak.  I was taken by ambulance to the hospital where I was admitted and later sent to a Rehabilitation Facility for intensive Physical Therapy because I was not able to walk. I was just released to come home to receive home care (not ready to go down my stairs), including Physical Therapy and Visiting Nurse. As you know, I started back to working part-time in October and was looking forward to starting off this new year with more classes and new opportunities. I have not worked since the week before Christmas and I am requesting your help.

My friends have set up a gofundme account called April's Hope to help me because I have not been able to pay January expenses and at this point do not have money to pay February expenses either, let alone some previous bills from the last two years.  Please help me as I am in danger of losing my car, as well as my home and place of work which are one and the same. I can’t afford to lose my home because I have nowhere to go.

On the positive side of things, I can honestly say that for the first time in two years (anniversary of my car accident is February 14^th), I am healing.  I am getting the care that I should have had when I had my car accident. Over the last several weeks, I have had a lot of quiet time for healing and much release leaving me full of optimism, love and anticipation of what this New Year holds.   I believe your assistance will help me get back to work and recover. 

Many of you have followed my journey over the past two years and know that I hold deep gratitude for each of you that have helped me. I sincerely ask you and anyone you know that could help me at this time because I know that my recovery is coming and I know that I will be back on my feet soon.  Please share the link to the gofundme page: http://www.gofundme.com/aprilshope

I am grateful for each and every one of you.  Please keep your eyes open for more information about online classes and phone meditations coming up later this month.  I know that by March I will be far more recovered and ready to work again as I have great anticipation for an Equinox Ceremony.

A final thought, in a matter of seconds my life changed again, we are living in a fluid world that is ever changing.  I wish for you all to remember the simplest of things:  Live each day to the fullest, Laugh at the ups and downs of life and Love with all your heart everything that you do and everyone you meet.  We are only on this planet so long and we are here to effect change---let today start you off in the right direction...let today mark a new beginning to change the way you perceive things. 

Love and Blessings.
EstaRa (April)
