Inspirational Snippet: Epiphany

Today is known as the Feast Day of Epiphany which means the day in which Christians recognize Jesus Christ as God incarnate.

Seven years ago today, I left on a flight to a destination that changed my life forever. I went to Egypt and reclaimed parts of my soul that had been lost and I became more fully who I am today. In some ways, that trip to Egypt was my own self discovery that is God incarnate within me (as God is in every living being upon this planet).

Several years prior to that, I would often go to Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine, in Litchfield, CT for peace and sanctuary particularly when I lived in Bristol.  I preferred to go there alone I got more out of it for me.  So one day, I was walking down the "Stations of the Cross" (for those of you who do not know what that is, to put it as simply as possible it is a path that resembles the story of Jesus from death to resurrection).  Near the end of the "Stations", Yeshua (Jesus prefers to be called his Hebrew name) greeted me and walked with me.  "I am the way."  He must have repeated it three times before I stopped to listen to him and understood, really understood for the first time ever!

He said:
"I am the way.  I am (not me the person), but the "I AM" is the way. This is the divinity of God within you and it is your power to create in this earthly realm. Whatever words, thoughts, feelings you place after the words "I AM" creates your reality in the physical world you live in."   ~Yeshua
This was by far one of the most profound experiences I had with Yeshua at that point.  It taught me so much, I remember crying and being really excited with this information, but I had no one to share it with.  Back then, I was still transitioning out of my old life and burgeoning on birthing my new life. The message above is just as significant today as it was back then.   Yeshua is here with me now with another message for humanity. And today, Yeshua stood beside me to fill in the gaps and to add more information for me, for us. 
"It will take you many years to fully comprehend and embody this truth for you will have to undergo deconstruction of a program that has been deeply embedded in your DNA and cellular memory, for when you have incarnated into human form on this planet, you have taken on the prevailing consciousness and your job is to rise above that consciousness to help humanity change the very consciousness that is holding them back.  I will assist you dear one, to reclaim your divinity and essence of light that you are, and have been taught to believe you are not.  You are not a sinner from birth, for you are the light and love of God, the creator of all. As humanity begins to awaken and question what they have been told to believe the more quickly the energy will move upon the planet and the more quickly consciousness will begin to resemble the light that you are.  Your powers of creation are more magnificent than you can imagine from your limited human perspective. Look into your heart and begin to see the transformation of your very being." –Yeshua
Something to truly ponder, what words do you put after your “I am”?   This is journal worthy—take a gander and make a list.  I know one of mine is “I am tired".  I have to find a new way to convey my feelings,perhaps I can reprogram a tired body to feel energized rather than tired.

As many of you know, several years ago, I began studying Judaism and have longed to study Hebrew.  Recently, I have begun to study Hebrew and the gates/doorways of my soul lineage have been opening.  The "I AM" that I am referring to above is not limited to Christianity.  If you study the old testament with Moses when he asked God, what God's name was, the answer was "I am that I am".  This is clearly an earlier teaching of the power of  the "I AM".    I would venture to guess that in every major religion in this world, there is a a teaching about the "I AM". I, of course, have not had the opportunity to study other religions, but I believe this is the most important concept that needs to be taught.  This opens me to so much more that I'd like to share, but perhaps another day because this has already become longer than anticipated.

My suggestion to all of you is to ponder and celebrate the Day of Epiphany, but not as the religious holiday, rather as the celebration of the "I AM" within you, simply because we are all God incarnate. We create the life we live every day in every way.  Blessings to you my soul friend.   

Love to you,

Happy New Year Message

2018 is here...the year of 11.

If you don't know the meaning of the Master Number 11, suffice it to say that is all about faith in yourself, faith in your journey and the faith that you have the power to create the life you desire.

onto a message for you...

Dear Humanity,

I want to wish you a happy beginning to a new year in the best way that I can!

Imagine that this time tomorrow you woke up with everything you need and you didn’t have to do a thing other than go to sleep and wake up in the New Year. Well, that is what you will have if you trust that everything you need is right there inside of you. I know, I know some of you may be saying “I don’t have everything I need, like food, relationships, healing, money etc. I hear you and I understand you loud and clear—believe me I have said those things and others too. But what I know for certain is that the outside circumstances do not matter so much as what you are feeling inside of you.

Those of you that know me, know that since my car accident, it has been a constant struggle for me physically, mentally, emotionally, financially and even spiritually to maintain my beliefs, inner truths because everything outside of me appeared as if it were against me; and believe me in many ways it was/has been. I follow my own path and live differently than most can comprehend. That being said, it's the truth inside me that has kept me moving forward—surviving and not diving into a deep, dark depression when the reality is—it would be completely acceptable for me to be in a deep, dark space! The thing is that being in that energy for longer than a day or two is no longer in my DNA—not because someone removed it from me, but because I removed it from me several years ago when I began this journey of shining my light; oh and definitely doing the work to fall in love with myself, connecting with my inner little girl to find her needs and embracing change/my path rather than resisting it. I changed my DNA and you can change yours too.

Some wisdom I'd like to share with you today.

Take some time today to contemplate this year ahead and what it is you would like to experience.   Ask yourself, are you willing to commit yourself to Love - the infinite presence of Spirit in your soul?  Getting in touch with the love within you is the most important step you can take in your life. It is rewarding in so many ways: allows you to be accepting, understanding of yourself and others, vulnerable to allow love in from those willing to give it to you, it gives you the courage to look at your shadow and heal yourself while being supported by the love of Spirit and the soul within. It truly allows you to be who you are!

Every guru of this earthly time that has the ability to channel and receive guidance about life on earth; has imprinted that while things in our physical world may appear to be falling apart around us, the truth is that the falling apart is necessary for the putting/coming together of things. The energy of Love, Miracles and Blessings will be bestowed upon us now; access to these things increase with your vibration.  I know I'm ready to allow mine in, but I also know that it is not without work. But not work in the way we traditionally think of work; instead, it is about how we use what we have learned about living life in this time on our planet. It could mean going against what we used to know, leaving our comfort zone behind and entering uncharted territory.

Is this something you are ready to do? Are you willing to give up your attachment to how things have always been or should be? Are you willing to see real miracles in your life and allow the blessings of abundance to fall upon you? If so, then this is the year for you to change your life to the one you really want to be living. Let go of the attachment to how things have been or how you think they should be. Let things/experiences be just what they are supposed to be---just what they are in this moment. You will be amazed at the boundless opportunities and expansive magic that is available to us now, but it is only accessible moment by moment.

Stay in each moment as best as you can and don't cloud your mind with distractions and useless clutter, instead allow yourself to face things in your life as they may happen. We’ve allowed so much to clutter us and prevent us from going forward. It is time to be present in our life, our community and the global world around us. We are the light we have been waiting for…it is time for us to speak our truth, lead by way of doing and join in the energy that is building the momentum of change in our country, our planet. It is our time to shine our light for all to see and share our love for all to feel.

Blessings of love and magic to you all and happy 2018!

Channeled Message: Responsibility for Peace, Happiness & Love

Good Morning Dear Ones,

My guides led me to this previous channel from December 2012 to share with all of you today because we are nearing the Solstice.  It is pertinent to what is happening now in your reality, the earth’s reality and it is vital information for us re-visit.  

Channeled Message from The Galactic Federation of Light through EstaRa in Guilford, CT on Sunday, December 16,  2012.

Dearest Ones,

We are with each and every one of you.  We know that this time on your planet exposure to the darkest energies exists; however, dear ones—exposure to the brightest energy exists as well.  It is a matter of where the focus gets placed.  Your earth is at its tipping point.   It has the potential to tip in one way over another; and yet, we wish to tell you that your humans are tipping towards the light.  These last acts of darkness will only prevail if power is given to them.

Many things will transpire over the next thirty years of your earth time and it is the responsibility of each
 human to determine which direction they wish to take the “new earth” in.  The responsibility for creation, magnification and destruction is by way of thoughts, beliefs and decisions.  While it is a collective responsibility to make manifest what you wish and desire for the earth; it starts with the individual taking responsibility for his or her actions, beliefs, thoughts and decisions daily.   If each person upon earth chose peace, happiness and love to be their focus each day then that is the vibration sent out.  Know that even 10 people who do this have multiplied the light quotient by 10 upon the planet.  It does not mean all darkness will be gone, but it does mean there will be less of it available to grow.  We do not assume or imply that it is easy to do at this time or in any time upon your earth as it requires vigilance to stay in balance and focus to stay in peace, happiness and love—but we tell you that each day that becomes the focus then each day it gets easier—each day solutions to problems appear—each day what is not in alignment with peace, happiness and love will show itself—it will make clear what needs to be viewed and worked through.  You may think that is a bad thing with light is shed upon darkness;   but dear ones, how can you change what is –if you do not know what is in need of change?

We ask you to stay in your heart and connect to your soul to know what it means to bring, to be and to live peace, happiness and love and maintain that focus.  It is not something decided in your head, behind a desk or in a group—it is something that is decided or experienced individually by way of how you carry out your day to day life—it simply is a way of being and living.  Now we wish to address that the same ways of creation as noted above remains true even if you focus upon fear, anger, unforgiveness and violence then you would make manifest that in your world as well.

We’ve mentioned many times to EstaRa through conversations and channels with her that sensitivity is her gift—as it is for humanity too!  It is the gift that creates change.  If you become numb and immune to life and your experiences;  then you seek and need experiences that  will make you feel—that is the increase in intensity that you are experiencing in your human world at this time—everything must be more intense in order to feel—more violent, more sexual—the extremes have to occur to make you feel—but dear ones a large part of your shift in consciousness is the shift in your sensitivity—you will feel if you have not already felt and experience a breaking open of your heart chakra center –that is, the walls of immunity that you have built will begin to crumble and you will begin to experience life  differently.

As EstaRa has often pointed out—if you are numb or immune to what it is you are doing what is happening around you or what is not happening around you then it is time for a change.  EstaRa is correct in her statement for you can no longer be of service to yourself, humanity or the earth if you numb; therefore, you are no longer present in your current reality.  Your job upon the planet is to be of service to all through your presence of being. (I asked my guides to clarify being “Neutral” as they suggested in last week’s Energy Thoughts from being numb/immune)  We tell you to stay “neutral” (balanced).  That is not to say that you do not feel happy or sad, pain or pleasure—it is to say that you allow yourself to feel the feelings as they come up, but you do not allow yourself to get caught up in the emotions. Yours or others!  Emotions are expressions of your feelings which are interpretations of the stimulus around you.  In staying in balance (We use the word balance interchangeably with neutral), you are able to hold the space for the peace, happiness and love for you; however,  more importantly you develop more empowerment (personal power) and can hold that space for so many more souls upon the earth at this time that are not able to.  We know this is not easy to do individually in your lives, but we do know that it is possible for you.  We ask you to support one another through these times; those individuals who demonstrate strength and have been strong are not able to always be the strong ones—you all must be the strong ones as you all must be the weak ones.   We use the words “weak ones” lightly for we do not see any of you as weak—in fact we see you as strong, powerful beings; we simply use the words to distinguish that there are times you may be the supporter and at other times you may be the supported.  It matters not which you are when—it simply matters that you know that you and others are and can be both.

Once again we wish to bring you back to the focus of love, especially during this gateway of time you are in.  It is so important now five days from the Solstice to hold that space of creation in love, peace and happiness for the energy is supporting what you hold.  You are each loved, honored and respected for your journey—it is paved in light with detours along the way to create the world and experience your soul truly desires.

Happy Hanukkah!

I was blessed to be invited to celebrate Hanukkah with some wonderful souls and delicious latkes--oy they were good!  

As you may or may not  know, I don't consider myself any one specific religion--I truly believe first and foremost I AM part of everything. I AM part of all that is and I AM  all of it:  we are all one and connected to all that is--so to me there is no separation.   However, I was raised Catholic; but since "reopening/awakening" several years ago, my soul has called me back to ancient roots of Judaism.  I began to study Judaism and boy did the floodgates open as I began to recall many past lives when I was Jewish.  My SOUL remembered who I really was and where my soulroots lie.   I remember the first time I went to a Synagogue, after I "RE-Membered"  I started saying the Hebrew Prayers (sounded very much natural as the people around me commented on it) like I knew the prayers.  I even felt "my wings" open up wide. It was the first time, I felt my "wings"...I felt larger than life.  I felt alive with the ancient language of Hebrew--that's when  I knew I found the language of my soul. 

So I celebrate everything that is part of me which is LIGHT, LOVE and PEACE.  This time of year, I do, celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas as they both resonate deeply within me,  and, I don't feel complete if I celebrate one without the other.  Tonight will be the second night of Hanukkah...here is a picture from my Menorah last year on the second night of Hanukkah.  The flames are uniting and make me feel the union of the twinflames is imminent. What a beautiful reminder of the miracles in my life.
 

During this Festival of Lights (Hanukkah), I light my menorah each of the eight nights of the holiday in honor of lighting the way of peace, remembrance of union, miracles, faith, trust and love.  The miracle of Hanukkah was that of light lasting beyond when the darkness "should" have taken over.  Let this holiday be a reminder for those who are Jewish and those who are not that just as the light was the miracle then---so too is light the miracle NOW.  Shine your light, my beautiful souls on this journey,for that is who you are.  As you shine your light, let the way of peace, remembrance of union, miracles, faith, trust and love be your truth so that you too will see the miracles coming your way. There is no requirement to light a candle or to be a certain religion/person/thing for you (each of you)  are the light and the way. 
 
Happy Hanukkah, my friends.

My wish for you is to shine your light.

In love, peace and light,
EstaRa

Hanukkah began last  night...

Day 21 of 45 Day Journey: Channeled Message Be Present

Good Morning,

A message from my guides:  

If you are feeling sad or unhappy, what are you thinking about?  Are you in the past ? Are you worrying about the future?  Be present dear ones, it is important to stay in your center.   When we say stay in your center we mean be present in this moment now.  We mean come back to balance dear ones.  Balance simply is knowing how to come back to your center when you feel off balance.  Many people miss interpret balance to mean they have to juggle it all, but dear ones it simply means that you know how to come back to your center. The center for you dear ones is knowing that you are in the moment and living in the present.  Far too many of you think you do this already, but if you pay attention to the thoughts you allow into your human mind, you will see dear ones you will see that you are not as present as you think.  It can become a constant struggle for you to stay present or it can become a natural state of being. It is your choice—it is always your choice in how you view what is happening around you. 

It is with honor, love and respect that we bring you this message today.

We are the Masters of Light.

This message from my guides brings our awareness into paying attention, noticing your thoughts, focus and energy.   They are emphasizing true balance bringing you back to focusing on the present moment. 

My suggestion for you today is to pay attention to your thoughts, what is in them?  Where are you placing your energy and focus? Are you experiencing life as it happens? Or are you planning for it to happen, or even more are you thinking ahead and not being present in the moment you are in or present with the person you are with?   Or do you focus on life turning out the same as it always does?  It is important that you touch upon  this question in your life for that will be your answer to why things are the way they are in your life today. That will be your answer as to your question of happiness.  We can’t change the past or the future, but we have the power to change the present.  If you are living life on automatic pilot then you are not present---running from place to place—going through your day to day routine, or even if you are talking on the phone an baking/cooking that is not really living present.  Do you know how many people I speak with on the phone that do not give me their undivided attention?  You would be surprised even someone I am supposed to do a reading with is too busy doing other things at times.   Often times, I am in my car driving and talking on the phone which I doesn’t make me fully present, but so many people have expectations of my time.  Recently, I have cut back on that because I don’t want that. I enjoy being fully present, but let me tell you nothing is more frustrating to me when someone is not present with me.   And, don’t get me started on texting/cell phones while you are out with someone or visiting with someone.  Technology has taken us away from being present and has created a McDonald’s type of life—fast food, fast life that moment to moment is lost.

This kicks up all kinds of thoughts for me.  Like we are so devastated when someone dies, but did we really value the time with them when they were here?  I mean really make the time to be present with them?  This is something I think people should ponder and look at for themselves.  I do readings all the time for loved ones that have past, and often these are the people that had a truly beautiful connection to someone, but sometimes there is regret, pain and suffering because they never had the opportunity to say what they needed to say.  AND yes, I know people have fears/blocks/discomfort in sharing their feelings, but I believe if we learn to live fully in the present and from that point of reference (not the past or the future) I really do believe that saying what we feel and living how we really wish to be is that much easier. And if blocks are still there, then it is time to clear your life of those blocks.  Really look at what is keeping you from living fully. 

Several years ago, I decided I wanted to get to know my parents as people not just as mom and dad.  So back then, I would take a day trip or an overnight trip with them every year—I did this until my car accident (and hope to do that with them again now that my body is getting ready).  I have been present with my parents and I have gotten to know them as people and love them as people—they are pretty amazing. I also got to spend my time with Aunts and Uncles—sisters and brothers of my grandparents.  My mother was an only child and we were really close to her family growing up and I enjoyed spending time with them. I learned a lot and am truly grateful for all that I learned.  These are moments that I will always treasure and value--that is what memories are made of.  

I often feel sad for people who have never gotten that opportunity to really be present with one another, but you know sometimes I wonder, do they even know what they are missing?   Take some time  today to be present and aware of what it is you are thinking/feeling/focusing on by consciously breathing.  Sometimes we go about our business and never breathe.  Oh we know that it is a great tool, but it is also one of those tools that reveals for us some of what is going on; and that we sometimes have resistance to.  If you take this exercise seriously, then you will have some amazing revelations of your patterns/thoughts/behaviors etc. And, if we really hear the message from my guides, then we are really live!
