Energy Thoughts: Reclaim Your Power

Welcome to your new reality. By now you should be getting glimpses of where your new reality falls softly upon the earth.

Imagine for one moment that all the things have been surfacing/scaring/freaking you out over the last few weeks/months/even years was all on purpose?  Designed to help you clear your path for what it is you say you would like to manifest. Making the path more smooth for this new realty that you are walking/running/speeding into.  Yes, the bleeps/bumps/bruises that you have had to endure are there on purpose.   Did you rethink/recheck your plans or even your destination?  Now, take a deep breath and let that thought sink slowly into your energy field and feel your way through it.  Does it make any sense to you now, with this knowledge, that all you had to go through brought you here and now?  (If not take/allow a little more time for that message to sink down into you.)  That is what has been happening/is happening since the shift into 2012. The astrological events that have been transpiring have coincided with the greatest shift within humanity's consciousness.  It is not by accident that you are here now and that the planets alignments are such--this is what you and all of humanity has been waiting for--the opportunity to reclaim your power.

There is no one in control--no one in the driver seat, but you.  Ahh--yes, what about God you ask.  Well, God/Spirit/Source/Higher Power whichever word you wish to use is right there inside of you.  It is the divine spark within you that utilizes your life experiences/environment/DNA/thought forms/beliefs internally and externally to create your reality.  Yes, there is a beautiful energetic source of all love, but what really matters most is not the so called source outside of you. No, what matters most is that you are searching/reaching for what you already have inside of you.   I think of the story,  "The Wizard of Oz" when I think to explain this. Like Dorothy's experience/journey down the yellow brick road on her way to the Emerald City, she meets challenges/obstacles/friends along the way, sounds familiar right?   All the talk and all the belief that this Great Wizard could provide Dorothy and her friends with what they were looking for, in the end wasn't true--but everyone believed it was true, so Dorothy was encouraged to search outside of herself the whole way to the Emerald City having blind faith.  Imagine for one moment if you were Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz or the Cowardly Lion looking for his courage or you were the Tin Man in search of his heart or the Scarecrow in search of his knowing.    At the end of their journey was they found was far less than they expected: a little man behind a curtain pretending to be great/all knowing, someone they had given their power away to. (In some ways, I equate that to religion, and the belief that you do not have a divine connection to God yourself.)  What they found with the Wizard  was the truth that they had it all along inside of them. The power always resided inside of them.  What changed for them, was their perception, and the discovery that the power for all the things they were looking for always resided inside of them.  If you are tired of the way

things are and how they have been playing out, then it is time for you to change your perception.  Be grateful to the universe for providing a forum (astrological alignments/energetic shifts) for you to do just that, by clearing you and making way to remind you of what you have inside of you.  The answers will never be found outside of ourselves.  The answers will always lie within our hearts.  It is up to us to quiet our mind,  find our way along the journey (the yellow brick road so to speak) and recognize that you will encounter many obstacles, roadblocks (trees throwing apples or flying monkeys) and reclaim our power (Emerald City), but keep moving forward and you will find your way home/heart/courage/knowing.  It really is that simple and yet, that difficult too!

It's the end of May, well into a new season, well into a time of sprouting and new growth.  The next couple of months, I suspect you will encounter great change.  Your life will begin to reflect all the changes that you have so longed for and have worked towards.  Your life will begin to be the embodiment of what it is you put out to the universe--it could be simply a love filled existence or a more complex one, but it reflects what you have been putting your energy towards.  Nothing is locked in permanently, ever; however, this is a train you just got on and I suggest riding it for a little while before making a decision to get off the train.  It will provide you with much needed self love, guidance and hope going forward.  Just remember if we don't like something, then we can change the compass by altering our perception.  Quick tip on how to change your perception in the moment that you are going through something. Stop whatever it is you are doing, pull your car over, hang up the phone, stop the conversation if you have to, but stop.  Take in a five conscious deep breaths.  Now, look at it again. Try this, I promise, it will make a difference.

In love,
EstaRa

Finally, A New Year Message!

Happy New Year dear friends and family, angels and aliens alike.  It has been a great blessing for me to close the year of 2013.  I have gone through much on my journey this past year with the car accident, incompetent or just lazy doctors, fears of money and such.  While the journey continues to be a bit of a challenge, I know on some level I did sign up for it.  I don't know exactly how the future will go, but I do know that I am grateful to say that I put much behind me.  As I travel the ladder of ascension, it occurs to me that so many things have to change.  While we all want to be in the love and joy (most are not feeling it), the truth remains we can never just be in the love and joy without helping to change the things that no longer work for humanity.   We came here to shine, we came here at this time on the planet to move forward human consciousness.  It isn't by accident that you chose to incarnate at this hour on planet earth. It was a choice to come and free the earth's inhabitants from the limitations of living 3D.  We are in the age of the pioneer and you thought that term referred to the old American prairie. This energy is about to rock your world, if hasn't already been doing so. 2014 is the year that you can begin to change everything you no longer like. 

With the advent of 2013, I discovered how important it is to have boundaries with family, friends and clients. I also learned that spreading love to the world is my way of living (it has always been, but I discovered that no matter what that truly is my job) and then on February 14 (the well-known day of love), I was in a car accident; that literally caused me to stop, stay still and learn.  I've still not been back to myself in many ways in terms of my physical reality: haven't had much of a social life, haven't been able to be my fully active self and  in truth, I spend most of my time in my bed because lying down is the most comfortable position for my body. While I may not have been out in the world like I was pre-accident, I experienced ,much over the past year.  I learned many things as a result of my car accident of 2013 about myself and about people in my life.

To name a few things I experienced and learned in 2013 (or relearned), there is no particular order there.  They are simply thoughts that came to me as I started writing this.

I learned who my friends were and who were just there for the ride until my life stopped.  I learned that people don't like to face the truth they would rather look outside themselves for their joy.  I learned that always being independent I needed this experience to show me how to ask for help.  I learned that I need people. I learned that yes I am scared, but I learned there are things I cannot change and I'd much rather focus my energy on things I can.  I learned that connection to another is of utmost important in a world where separation is so prevalent. I learned that people prefer that I pretend I was fine rather than see the truth of a dysfunctional medical system.  I learned what I had already known, but didn't realize how much worse it had gotten.   I learned that doctors do not listen to you, medicine is what is destroying our bodies, insurance is really not a benefit as it has been promoted to be.  I learned that not having insurance is nearly the same as having state insurance. I learned that firing a doctor is freeing. I learned that no one will speak up for you in the way you can. I learned that I often know more than the doctors do simply because I listen to my body. I learned that there really is no help out there for you if you don't have friends and family.   I learned that if you are incapacitated in a way you can not speak or understand information that you must have someone you can trust to help you. I learned that money seems to be everyone's priority and yet I learned that throughout all of my trials and tribulations it still has not become my priority. Oh ya, I'm not living well--in fact I am struggling a great bit, but it is still not a priority. I learned that I have no money because my motivation has always been to help regardless if someone could afford it or not. I learned that a true healer is one that focuses more on the healing than the money.   I learned that the system we (as American government) have in place is no longer for the people and I question exactly how long has it not been for the people. I learned tolerance and compassion for people who were not like me.  I learned that I prefer to have people sharing my values and beliefs surrounding me. I learned that just because I learned something at a young age that it is okay to question it.  I learned that standing up for those you love is more important than watching injustice or abuse happen. I learned that you must question everything.  I learned that we must see ourselves as the ones who are here to change the world.  I learned that breathing in peace is a miracle. I learned that my head was no longer quiet like before the accident. I learned again how to quiet my mind and start over again. I learned that pure, unconditional love is possible. I learned that magic happens every moment that we breathe if we let it. I learned that facing your truth is so much easier when you realize you are always learning. I learned how powerful I truly am.  I learned that blessings come in a great many sizes and in a great many ways.  I learned that greatest problem facing humanity is fear.  I learned that fear is perpetuated by the world outside of us.  I learned that everything that causes a problem to the world is traceable back to fear.  I learned that no matter what we must take back our power, first on a personal level, then on a local level and then expand it globally. 

2014 is shaping up to be the year that we can do it.  The astrology is on our side.  Planetary alignments are such that you have began to shed your skin down to the bear bottom or continued to do so in 2013.  Now, in 2014, it is time to expand that out to your community, where are the injustices?  It is now time to stand together, unite with others of like mind and begin to make it happen. If you are interested in doing this and want to come together with like minds, I am going to ask you to contact me, no matter where you are.  Let me know what your focus is, what your voice wants to speak and what path you wish to take and I will connect you with others just like you!   I would like to gather together with others that are willing to stand up for themselves and those who have no voice.  I want to give empowerment to the paths that we must take. I want to give voice to the change we wish to be.  It is time that we learn that we are the ones we have been waiting for and that we are the ones that have the power to create the world we wish to see. 

PS Sorry for the late New Year Message, but things have been a little delayed and well...now it feels that time is pushing forward. There are many other things I've learned, but  most importantly to me is that I learned how to be neutral in a time when nothing in my life is particularly neutral or in the world for that matter.

Inspirational Snippet: Miracles Are Everywhere

I wanted to share this morning's message I placed on my Soul Star Healing Facebook Fan Page.  As many of you know, each day I place message from my guides, angels and/or my higher self for your highest and best good.  If you wish to connect with me on Facebook to receive these messages, please click this link:  https://www.facebook.com/soulstarhealing.

Today's Message: Miracles surround you in every moment of every day. It takes a quiet, reflective mind to see what is there and capture the miracle in the moment. If you are harried and rushing around, the miracles are not so easily noticed. We ask you to slow down today, take long deep breaths between the many things that you feel you need to do and look around you at that moment. We bet you will see things you hadn't noticed before including little miracles. And so it it..~EstaRa

This message is so important to see and listen to in your day to day life.  Life can be so stressful and it is easy to get caught up in your daily routine, but it is necessary to your balance and well being  by stepping out of that cycle from time to time. Since my car accident, it hasn't been so easy for me to notice things because my days are more stressfilled than they were prior to the car accident.  You would think, I am home relaxing and enjoying the break. Well, let me reassure I am not nor have I been.  In between going to the Chiropractor two times a week, Physical Therapy two times a week and various doctor and healing energy appointments, I have to find time to just be.  Quite often the time I am not in appointments with doctors and such, I am really exhausted from going to those appointments or in really bad pain and I need to come home and rest.  Lately, there is this one saving grace that I have, I  do remember now and again to stop what I am doing, breathe and look around me.  When I look around my apartment, in the morning sometimes I see something that I have had for a long time and notice how grateful I am to have it.  Or I may see something someone gave me as gift that may have been sitting there all along, but just noticing it in that moment, I feel the love they have/had for me when they gave it to me.  Other times, I will notice as I am driving to my appointments how careless some drivers have become, and then I will be stopped at a traffic light and see a young man help an elderly woman carry something.  It shows me how miraculous and giving humanity can be. I believe we sometimes forget. 

This car accident has showed me through my community of clients, students and friends just how giving and miraculous humanity can be.  Makes me grateful to be human to experience such things. (I know this is a bit of joke when I say I am grateful for being human--some of you will get this and others will not, but those who do know that I sometimes find it hard to be a human in this world. I will leave it at that.)  Just to let you know it is really simple to discover mini miracles.  Step outside and see for the first how the birds fly by you or how the cutest little chipmunk scatters as you walk by or stops to say hi. Or when you have your morning beverage (mine is usually a lovely, smelling herbal tea), just sit with your beverage and do nothing else. Watch how amazing that will make you feel.  If you look really closely at this picture, you will see there is, in fact,  a double rainbow.  I took it when I went on my trip to Hawaii. 

My wish for you today is to stop, take a long breath and notice what is around you.

In love,

EstaRa
