Energy Thoughts: Moving Sidewalks



With the advent of the New Moon last Friday,  I felt a huge shift occur—we moved into a new frequency.  As I am writing this  I am seeing the earth literally being moved from one place to the next.  It makes me think—so much for the slow transition process—for some of us the change will be anything but slow—I am getting that for some people we will literally “wake up” in a new energy daily—as humanity shifts.  We are moving forward—I am hearing that song, I  Can Dream About You from the 80’s with those lyrics:  “moving sidewalks under my feet” .  This is to be expected as humanity enters a new ascension level.  It is an interesting concept to think about moving sidewalks because that means things are moving without you doing anything. But as you begin to do something, the energy and movement happens faster—think of those people movers in airports that carry you forward.  I keep getting visuals as I type this—how lovely—so the next visual is that the sidewalks are being laid down as you walk and sometimes they cross to a new direction and sometimes they come to a crossroad and you get to decide which way to go—it doesn’t matter where you are: you are moving forward. With my description just now it may not appear as you are moving forward, but you are.  Remember , there is no time and no space in a multidimensional reality there simply is movement.  It is all in how you decide to make things happen. 

Everyone is on their own journey so everyone shifted frequency, but because we each have our own journey/ path—it may not be the same as you.  Each at  their own pace some faster than others while there are those that will drag along while to them they are waking up .  Be kind and be gentle with them.  And, remember this  makes way for some amazing energy.  New possibilities new opportunities.

Okay so that is the exciting energy of the new Moon that we felt and it lasted from  1/11 to 1/14, did you all have some great/easy/epiphany days during then ? If so you, you rode the wave for sure and did you catch the next wave? The next wave came just as fast as the last wave. I woke up on the 15th with such a different feeling than the days before—the heaviness that was in the air prior seemed to return.  Some of us saw the New Moon as a “breathing opportunity” and a beautiful energy while others experienced it as a wakeup call.  What does that mean I think to myself and my higher self answers with: emotions flooded it, the walls of fear came down for a few moments so some were feeling what it would be like to be in a new reality and energy pressed upon us to look at what they are doing here.  It is almost like red lights began flashing and some people saw them.

So here we are this week with all this energy---the only way to be okay is to  remain in balance/grounded/neutral as discussed in previous energy thoughts.  The most important thing to remember is to be aware that the energy is contagious—the emotions around you are contagious because even though at some points they seem to be in a distant past for you—they are still there  and many live in that energy therefore you may be surrounded by the contagious emotions/stress/drama.  Create a routine and/or a key phrase or word to “snap” you back to your Moving sidewalk—not someone else’s. 

The energies of the coming week/s are moving forward.  We collectively moved to a new time where everything shows up—where are truths surface and our energy opens to the creative power that we are.  It is imperative that we open and begin to move past the blocks that reveal themselves to us.    We created these obstacles for our soul’s growth at this time…just as we need to find away to remove ourselves from the unconscious distractions that we pull in day to day to prevent us from finding our own answers, such as:  busyness, shopping, drinking, lost on the internet, searching for the answers outside of yourself.   It is time to make quiet time within you as part of your routine so that as things reveal themselves to you…you can not only discover them, you can change them.

Be still my beautiful friends….in that stillness you will discover the beauty of who you really are…

Inspirational Snippet: Physical Pain

I was reading again this morning one of my favorite books, Emmanuel's Book III; and again, some great information came to me. Recently, I have seen a rise in requests for prayers and for healing.  There are a lot of people experiencing physical illness, pain and discomfort.  It has always been my belief that physical ailments begin in the energy body/field.  In basic terms the energy field is made up of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies that hold energy pertaining to those parts of you.  The ailments begin in those energy bodies before manifesting themselves into your physical being.    I want to remind you that everything you do to "feed" your energy body through spirit has more power than simply addressing the physical issues alone.  It also matters how you approach the physical malady in terms of your thoughts (mental body) and feelings (emotional body) as they have a great deal of power over your physical state as well. In essence, let this be a reminder to you that you are more than your physical body; therefore, be sure  to address all your "needs".
Now, to quote from the book I mentioned above...

" Pain did not come to be your enemy.  It may be hard to love, yet it is there for your embracing.  Pain is a teacher and not to be feared.  Hear it as the voice of loving truth telling you, "Wake up and pay attention now."

 Please read that quote once again before moving on.  Make the connection today if you can as to what is happening in/to your physical body and begin to understand from there the message it is sending to you and what the lesson it is that is being taught to you. Many of you have known me for some time, while others have just met me, but do you know the story of my journey?  My life was completely different than the world I am living in now. To be honest, to people who knew me back then--I am practically unrecognizable--sometimes even to me!

My initial motivation for learning Energy Healing (Reiki) was to relieve my physical pain. At that point in my life, I was plagued by many physical ailments such as endometriosis, acid reflux disease and severe chronic pain in my back and neck that was diagnosed as Fibromyalgia.  I was told by many doctors that I would just have to live my life in pain and on medications.  This was not acceptable to me.  l had sought out alternative holistic healing modalities after a long and unsuccessful journey in the world of traditional medicine.  I had begun my emotional healing journey long before, but nothing sparked my move forward more than Reiki.    After positive experiences with Naturopaths and Chiropractors, I began to put more weight on alternative healing modalities. My first encounter with Energy Healing had such a profound affect on me that I immediately sought out a teacher and began my soul's journey.   This not only sparked the healing of my entire physical body, but opened me up to a world I never dreamed possible.  Prior to working on healing my physical body with energy work, I was so steeped into what everyone else's expectations were (religious, societal,familial) that I didn't know the real me nor did I address the fact that I wasn't happy.  In retrospect,  I didn't look at my health problems back then as my teachers; but they were the best teachers and still are because I can truly pinpoint why I had the physical conditions I had in relation to how my thoughts (mental body) and feelings (emotional body)were or in many cases were not being expressed.

No matter what the ailment, physical pain or discomfort is--the message is about waking up  and see what it is trying to teach you.  It could be teaching you many things and if you listen to your inner voice, which is loud and clear, when you do choose to do so, your whole world will open up and show you how easy it is to change and then LIFE REALLY BEGINS!  Listen to your body--it is talking to you each and every day:  Often a physical ailment such as a cold/flu could be telling you that you simply need to rest.  Perhaps you push yourself too much to meet everyone's needs, but you have the need to honor you each day and perhaps a cold is one of the ways your spirit can convey that message.  Something more serious or acute, such as a heart attack could be telling you that your heart has been closed; and the heart attack is a way of "breaking down those walls" and opening your heart up to feel.  Perhaps you have been emotionally hurt and lack trusting someone and never truly allowing love in and this is one way to get your attention and change your life.   Whereas chronic ailments could be telling you that something really has to change with the way you are living your life (or for some people not living).  By the standards of society, religion and family your life looks wonderful, but perhaps your soul knows another way or has been nudging you to find your way in the direction that may be completely different than what you were living.  (I left my really traditional life of working in government and then choosing to leave my pursuit of my JD/MSW to follow the little voice inside my soul and now I can't imagine it another way. I also know that if I didn't look into another way of healing (and ultimately living) that I would probably be very sick/unhappy and in a really bad place emotionally If I wasn't already gone.) 

My wish for you today is to look for the lesson in the pain. If you need some help with discovering what your body may be telling you then, perhaps it is time for some guidance,..I'm here and I'd love to help you reconnect to the true you...the one who is ready to be "AWAKE."

Love to you,
EstaRa

Energy Thoughts: 2013 is here: Snap, Crackle Pop



Part Two: 2013 is here

So it is the new year of 2013 and boy, are we in for big surprises.  So things have been bubbling up over the last weeks now.  Do you sense/feel/see it?   We are now in full flow of the energy coming in and transforming us all to a higher consciousness. 

Happy New Year!  Happy New Earth, Everyone.   On New Year’s Eve,  I turned the television on (yes I do that every once in awhile—very infrequently though) and watched the ball in NYC drop to signify the new year (first of all I want to comment on the fact that having a ball drop to signify the new year should be seen as the old energy paradigm—if you think of a ball dropping—it doesn’t quite convey the idea of new beginnings, new opportunities, new choices—perhaps it is time to rethink the ball dropping thing.” Just something I thought of right now as I am writing this.  I digress…anyway, as I watched the last 59 seconds of the old year—it occurred to me that that was the fastest minute I had ever seen.  Did you notice that as well? I asked others and they agreed too!  It was just another human sign of our timelines moving more quickly—syncing up with what the unseen said would happen—movement to the no time, no space zone. 

I watched the New Year’s  Eve show a little longer and they cut to a concert happening in London where the announcer at the end of the performance, shouted out, “We need your help”.  This, of course, was an implication of monetary support.  Then something clicked for me….all these voices ran through my head and ads were playing in my head, “We need your money.  We need you now.  Please donate.  Your support is needed.  Let’s fundraise for this.  Let’s fundraise for that.  Donate Now..” All these voices past through my head representing now and years past where everyone wants something. Every organization wants money, every organization wants you to donate, every organization wants you to fundraise….  Everyone wants something—it has become a business.   Not to mention that many businesses are created to “maintain” the world as is in the old paradigm (drug companies/hospitals/ military/weapons just to name a few) when, in fact, we (the largest scale we) ALL just changed the way in which we lived, there would be no need to donate/fundraise.  If our focus became LOVE, rather than the focus being the “problem”, we wouldn’t need anything else because each person would do their part because they loved the part that they are, because they love the part that they bring and they love the part that they do.  Everyone would realize that the old paradigm of power and money no longer work and choose the new paradigm of love and unity.  It all begins inside! 

This brings me to what is happening to the energy field of the people on the planet.  Everyone is waking up to their part—EVERYONE!  Yes, even those souls who you thought were not awakened; have been as of the “Mayan End Times”.  The 21st of December sparked a whole new beginning to human consciousness—it can’t evolve with only one person—it would require one and all.  My feeling is that over the next several months you will see people “popping/clicking/snapping” into place where they hadn’t before.  You will see them doing things you never dreamed they would do: leaving relationships/careers/locations primarily for no other reason than they had the epiphany to do so.  

These last couple of weeks leading up to the New Moon of January 11th we have been in the waiting phase so to speak.   There has been little movement forward and an outward quietness if you will amongst the majority of people on the planet.  Internally, I feel there is anything but a quietness going on inside everyone.  There is this bubbling up of truth that is ready to pop from the mouths of those people who have been held back by not speaking/living/being the truth.  There is a building up of what the next steps are for each person because everything must happen individually before we can change the world collectively. 

You can expect things to move forward more rapidly once the January New Moon arrives.  As with most new moons, the energy is about new ideas, new opportunities and dreams, but influenced by this sweeping energy of awakening; the energy will be more potent.  The energy is here, but there is an initiation required.  The initiation into this new multidimensional energy requires removal of anything that is not authentic and love-filled.  Oh yes, the times are magical, but first anything that does not feel authentic for you needs to be moved out to make room for what is truly aligned with your soul.  This is the snap/click/pop that I referred to where your soul’s truth will take precedence over all other rules/things/beliefs in your life.  In real human words, what does that all mean?  It means people will be confronted/faced/presented with all that is not in their highest good; ie the ugly/the truth/the hidden/the forgotten things/emotions/behaviors/beliefs.  Yes, you may be thinking, this has been happening and we have been experiencing it.  It is different now, not only will these things come up, but the power is here now to release and create anew. This makes way for all kinds of miracles to take place; if you didn’t believe in them before; you certainly will soon enough.  This is it:  the way; this is what we have been waiting for ; this is the shift to a higher consciousness—a one love, a unity connection. 

The whole time I have been writing part 1 and part 2 of this message, I kept hearing the old Rice Crispies Commercial of “Snap, Crackle and Pop”.  It is an appropriate thought—and so it is…

Inspirational Snippet: Miracles



I started to write this snippet yesterday morning, but then my headache overcame me and I ended up feeling pretty sick. But before I went back to bed, I posted on Facebook a request for healing and prayers and I got my miracle. I woke up this morning feeling 60% better which is a miracle because I believe it could have all been worse.

Anyway, onto the snippet:  Yesterday, I woke up and did my morning routine and at the end I pulled a card for the day for me.   I pulled the following card:
. Then, I sat down to write my daily Facebook message from my guides on my Soul Star Healing Fan Page and it was:  Miracles are abundant in your life, if you choose to see them: for every breath is a miracle, every smile you receive is love, every truth you feel is love and every truth you express is the miracle of your soul.

So the theme of Miracles appeared twice, but as if that was not enough, the universe was going to make sure I got it very clearly so I picked up Emmanuel's Book III What is an Angel Doing Here?,  when I was about to have my morning tea and I opened to a page on miracles.  It was truly beautiful because while I know those were messages directed to me about things I am hoping for in my life.  The truth is that I think that is the theme for this year, the year of 2013.  Not only will you begin to see the miracles in your life, but you will begin to see miracles happening in all aspects of life in every day and in every way.

From Emmanuael's Book III:

What is a miracle?

It is the natural flow of Love's power.  It is the Angel present upon the planet Earth.  It is the Love that you feel in your own heart.

A miracle is mind's definition for Love's natural capacity to be. 


The mind sets up boundaries of reasonable expectation and declares, "This is the natural order." 

Love enters and knows no boundaries.  The presence of Love, which is indeed the only reality that exists, takes all of mind's careful planning and simply blows it to bits. 

Mind has determined, "Reason comes to this point and can go no further."

Love does not even see the barrier.  When Love crashes through mind's familiar understanding of how things "ought" to be, mind can only cry out, "That's a miracle!"

"No," Love answers, "that's just the way I am."



My wish for you is to see your miracles!

Love to you,
EstaRa

Energy Thoughts: End of the Beginning



I have been starting and stopping this email since the 26th of  December.   I think I can write today and finally get this out to all of you—but we shall see.   I have decided to write this one in two parts.  This part will discuss a bit of what has happened/happening until January 11.  Onto it then…

We are now through the gateway of the 12-12-12 and we are moving past the “Mayan End date “ of 12-21-2012.  But, we are not past the energies of the Galactic Center—oh no we are only in the beginning of it.  A dear soul whom I love, once quoted from Winston Churchill the following:  

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”  It seems the appropriate quote to use here.  

We are moving into transition/assimilation/creation/transformation/union.  That is a mouthful and I am not sure I captured all the words to convey such things, but I think you get the gist of what I am saying.  The changes began well before December, but as we approached the 12-12-12 gateway so much more began to transpire building up to this current wave of the New Year Energy.  Meanwhile, the dropping away of the old energy paradigm began to show up on an individual scale.

So let me take you back to early December, I had a client come in and shared a story with me. (forgive me if you heard the story before, but it bears repeating here) .  She saw something on tv or facebook(one and the same these days) and it was about a policeman who purchased shoes for a homeless man.  She told me she cried a lot when she first heard this, but not because the policeman bought shoes, but that the there are people without shoes and further more there are people without homes.  I looked at her and could feel her heart-breaking; breaking open of a closed off/numbness.  She said to me, “this shouldn’t be ok.  This shouldn’t be happening in 2012.” 

This is a great example to share here because a great deal of society is/has been in that closed off/numb/immune place.  This showed me just what the energies of the “end times” are doing to people.  It is creating situations where individually we are reaching into our hearts and “feeling”.  Now, do recognize it isn’t a recent discovery that there are homeless/shoeless/foodless people out there---the recent discovery is that humanity one by one is discovering that we should no longer have tolerance for such things.  And yes, this is a harsh reality, but clearly we as a collective have accepted that people are homeless/shoeless/foodless/etc for a very long time---it is seen in the policies that are made in both governments and communities locally, nationally, globally.  (on a side note, sincerely look at the decisions in government and see where our tax money goes) I digress, back to the energy update.

So much was packed into December 2012; so much so that it had impacts on each person etherically, physically, mentally and emotionally.   EVERYONE was impacted; there is not one being on this planet that has not experienced a shift within them. However, perhaps you/they are unable to tangibly see or know what exactly it is that has clicked for you/them.  Or you may be one of us who has/ can put their finger on it right away.  Either way, something has changed.  Do you see it with other people? 

The example above from my client represented a shift from within her.   Now with the advent of this new energy, all these internal epiphanies are happening, but are not necessarily being shared openly just YET.   Oh they are either waiting until someone else shares it first or afraid to share thinking that people will judge them because remember some of these epiphanies should be obvious to the human eye—but they have been covered over by the US and THEM energies that were prevalent on the planet previously.  Do you see?  The energy is hitting home—as the separation energy is slowly moving out of everyday living and being replaced by the energy of you Unity—I am you and You are me; people can now feel it/experience it.    Bringing back the energy of oneness, tolerance for such things as my client discovered is quickly dissipating.  When you are numb/immune/closed off/brainwashed by others ideas it is easy to “not see”, but when the heart is opened it isn’t so easy to tolerate.  But even more, when your heart is opened, that is when you can do something about it.  Imagine that many people feel this way that my client did?  Then, they would gather together to do something about it?  Homeless Shelters, food kitchens, etc, right?  Wrong!  When WE ALL (as one) realize that this is not ok—then we banish it and live in Unity.

The month of December pulled up/opened up/threw salt on emotions making way for humanity to make the ascension gate of 12-21-12.  And humanity did.   The time leading up to Christmas was one swept in reality and the falling apart of the illusion.  The truths of what is not working in our society began to be seen, but not only on a small scale---a global scale.  With the tragedy that occurred in Newtown, CT there was an uproar from ALL—across the globe! It brought to “light” several questions/problems/promptings that need to be addressed in a society that has been placed in separation and darkness for too long.  The problems reach farther than Connecticut—they reach all societies because the problems are real and not going away.  It is still having an impact upon humanity in terms of who is still choosing the old paradigm versus the new.    As I talked about above, what happens when we ALL (as one) realize that this is not ok—then we banish it and live in Unity—but first things need to happen to bring to light what needs to change—again humanity needs/needed to awaken from its slumber of immunity/numbness in order for change to occur. 

 Many people began popping/snapping/clicking into epiphanies: some obvious and some not so obvious; some personal and some not so personal, but most importantly they spent the good part of the last days of 2012 in preparation/waiting for the right time to “spring board” off with their new found awareness.  The time between the “popping” and action is where we are in waiting…also known as the lull that we all felt this holiday season. 

What to expect the time between the 21st of December and January 11, 2013 is the popping/clicking/snapping into place of each individual’s discovery of what isn’t right in their life, right in their world and right in the world.   Now, does that mean everyone?  No, surely not.  It does mean; however, that those who are “popping” are ready for the next steps on their journey and don’t be surprised if you see that showing up in more external ways than simply within their radar/awareness.  Now , in case you were wondering what about those who are not having epiphanies that you can recognize—oh they are!    You are just not seeing it yet---give them time to adjust to the new awareness.  Others you may see/sense/feel  undergoing the purging/grieving/ transitional phase.   No matter where anyone is in terms of their journey—we are all in this together. 

As the quote above says:  Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”  Perhaps, it is the end of the beginning and now the work begins...let's  construct the world we want.. .
