Poem: Wildfire

Several Years ago, I wrote a poem for my twinflame because our connection was so strong and pulled me into places within myself that I never knew existed. Our connection has only expanded and filled my life with so much more than words can say.  I was prompted to read the poem tonight, and it brought me back to the day I wrote it.  The flame within me is completely lit up and awaiting his flame so we can set the world on fire with our love.  

I was prompted by my higher self to share this with all of you.  May you enjoy it and feel love's warmth from within your soul.

WILDFIRE

Your love is like a wildfire

Your passion takes me higher and higher

To a place I have never known

One I could never achieve alone

I can only ask is it real or just a fantasy to help me feel

Then the answer is always clear

I feel you even though you are not there

I feel your touch even without you near

I feel your whisper softly in my ear

I feel your breath upon my neck

I feel your kiss upon my lips

I feel you in every second of everyday

I feel your love like a wildfire

Spreading over me with passion’s fire

Moving me higher and higher

Take me I shout

Don’t shut me out

For our love is real

It’s all what we feel

For if we allow passion’s desire to spread

Then we will come alive

But if we let it pass

We will never know this is meant to last

Awaken I sigh to love’s warm high

For you know as I do

On this day there is nothing more to say

For it is a new love for me and you.

Channeled Message from Goddess Pele

The other night I went to a class to learn about Hawaiin Magic.  Now,  if you don't remember, I went to Hawaii in 2011 and boy that energy was magnificent. (Miracles happened to get me there and miracles happened while I was there!)  I remember as soon as I landed,  I found a place on the beach to go ground, and immediately I channeled, and the first thing I heard was: "Welcome Home, Lemurian." Amazing just thinking about it now.  Not amazed that I channeled--that is a regular thing for me, but amazing that my connection to Hawaii allowed the ancient Lemurian energy to flow through me that night as if I was home.  Back to the class I took, I was disappointed with the class because there was no mention of Lemurian Energy and no mention of the magic of just being on the island. Instead it was more like a lecture, it was like a history book of the myths of ancient Gods and Goddesses in Hawaii. Why do I tell you all this?  I'm getting there. 

So the teacher (and I use the word loosely because it wasn't a teacher like I know a teacher should be.  She  read from a book! (literally read from a book.)  Boring! It took everything for me to pay attention and much of the time she was speaking, I was getting clearer and clearer information about Hawaii and the similarities I felt with regard to Egypt.  From the historical account of the Gods and Goddesses, it appeared to me that Star Beings had a place in the island history greater than I have heard until now.  I was fascinated by it and wanted to meditate more on it, but I was tired when I got home and went to bed.  I digress, back to the class.  At one point, she said she had prepared a meditation for us to connect to Pele. I swear it was not a meditation like I do. She literally shut the lights off for what seemed to be the maximum of 7-8 minutes and again read, rather quickly I might add,  a mini meditation not instructing her students on how to quiet their mind and get relaxed (many of which are novices to quieting their mind, let alone to meditation). Now, I know why my students can always meditate and access energy or at least achieve a state of peace--pheww, it reassured me that I am a great teacher.

Now at the end of the 7-8 minute meditation, she just skipped right on, no one shared, no one talked and she went back to reading. I had received a message for all the people in the room of which I attempted to share, but it didn't seem like she wanted to hear it and nor did they.  I was disappointed because it doesn't take me long to connect and get a message which is why I am sharing this with you now:

Greetings Dear ones,  I am Pele, Goddess of Fire. I am here to greet you on your journey.  If you wish to know my power, you must know your heart.  If you wish to know my magic, you must know your soul. The gift I impart to you is to see your truth in everyone, everything, then you will begin to embrace the power and the magic within you.  I will strengthen that power and magic if you wish to work with me.  I am Pele, Goddess of Fire. 

Pele joined me on that evening because the class was talking about her, and she is the most well known Goddess of Hawaii. They said her name several times and channeled her to be present.  She is a very powerful energy that arose from the flames within a volcano as she spoke to me.  I was in awe of her power and her care with which she brought me the above message.  Her offer is an open invitation to work with her as she embodies the Divine Feminine energy that is sweeping through our planet to awaken humanity to its truth.  She as with all Goddesses at this time are available to assist you in embracing your feminine energy.  Here are some ways to connect with her:

• Print out a picture of her to have nearby when you meditate or on your altar.
• Hold obsidian (aka volcanic glass which is good for grounding and centering yourself) or lava rock (protection from psychic attack)
• Simply light a red candle with the intention of honoring her and ask to connect with her during meditation.

If you would like to know more on how to connect with her, please feel free to contact me at april@soulstarhealing.com

Inspirational Snippet: Robin Williams

Good Morning Everyone.

Yesterday was such a hectic day for me that I had a few minutes to open up Facebook last night and saw Robin Williams is dead.  It is presumed that he committed suicide.  This incredible man was one of the most well known comedians and actors of our time. I mean his name conjures up memories across generations of movies (that I’ve seen, that many of us, if not all have seen): Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage, Patch Adams to name a few.   He had such a profound impact on our movie experiences that many people can remember exactly what performance he made that touched them the most.  I saw a couple of articles that talked about him having bi-polar, being really depressed, having severe loneliness and suffering from his addictions as if it is understandable.   As if, those things are  acceptable circumstances when contemplating ending your life.   

It got me to thinking about how far off we have gone as humans.  It is not acceptable that someone commits suicide nor is it acceptable that on a planet with over 7 billion people, that someone is lonely.  We as humanity have lost our way.  We rely on external input from others to determine who we are, what we think and how we should feel.  Of course, the extreme being in Hollywood.  With all the pretense that goes on in our world, it doesn't surprise me that people feel inadequate, lonely, insecure, depressed.  But if you think the pretense is left only to Hollywood, you are sadly mistaken. It is one of the underlying reasons that  so many people suffer in our world.  When people think of pretense, often it is associated with people pretending to be someone they are not, but  it goes beyond that.  It includes holding back your feelings, your truth, in fear of what people may think of you.  For example, when people pretend to be happy in a relationship/marriage/partnership for the sake of those around them or their fear of failing. Meanwhile, they hold in their pain for private moments, alone in quiet, of which, they don’t often give themselves.  

Look at the world you live in every day. Look around at your friends, family, peers, co-workers and your community.  Do you feel judged by them?  Do you judge?  Do you ask for help when help is needed?   Does anyone offer help to you?  Robin Williams, I presume was facing many challenges in his life, not unlike any other human on this planet.  However, the difference is that he had the added pain of a public arena for his problems to be displayed upon, and where the spotlight was more focused upon his inadequacies. 

Media in your world is not evil or negative. It is your creation, dear ones.  In essence, it means it is what each of you is projecting collectively thereby creating it in your reality.  Can it be changed?  Yes, dear ones, it can be changed when you are ready to see that you have the power to change what you are projecting. Then you will empower yourselves to choose to create a different kind of media.  One that focuses on love and empowerment rather than one that focuses upon fear and struggle.—The Masters of Light

My feeling is that Robin Williams’ death is meant to be meaningful, in that, his death is to teach us to live differently and to see what is not working in our current world.  It is time that we rely on our feelings to determine who we are, what we think and how we should feel about something.  Put simply, it means if you are feeling fulfilled and joyful then you are on the right path, but if you are feeling anything but, then it is time to alter your direction.  It doesn’t matter what other people think or feel about your choices. It matters most what you think or feel, but to get there means you need to let go of what is expected of you, and pave your own path, ask for help when it is needed and most of all, allow yourself to receive it.

Your truth is what is needed, and your willingness to feel your way to happiness. 

My wish for you is to know you are safe and you are loved!  There is no need to feel lonely, depressed, afraid or insecure when we are feeling safe and loved.  Help yourself  and someone else today to feel safe and loved!  Think about what it would be to make you feel that way and gift yourself with that and then gift it to someone else too!

In love,
EstaRa

Energy Thoughts: Egyptian Energy Rolling In

Good Monday Morning Everyone. 

Just coming off a weekend of magical energies with the 8-8 Lion's Gate Energy rolling into my awareness clearly on the 7th and welcoming this full moon.  Friday, I spent time with friends outside in nature for connection and meditation.  Just a reminder that when "big" energy comes to the planet, the best place to be is in nature preferably sitting on grass to help anchor and balance the vibrational shifting that is taking place in your body as the energy pours in.  (A beautiful little fairy friend, Win-Kel came by for a brief visit on Friday to remind me of such.)  

I have to admit that after the intense meditative afternoon, I was a bit exhausted, but I knew I could not let the Lion's Gate get away without Smudging my space and utilizing this energy to clear my space and re-charge my portal of light in my home.  Before the clearing began, The Goddess Sekhmet appeared to me to provide assistance as I cleansed.  My friend and I did an amazingly deep clearing and then lay within the portal for the purpose of absorbing the new energies.  During my receptive mode, I allowed myself to receive downloads/transmissions from Egypt.  I got amazing visions of the light beaming into the Great Pyramid in Giza and transferring over to the Sphinx and spreading through the planet through the eyes of the Sphinx. It was quite a miraculous vision and quite the physical body sensations as the energy made its way sweeping across the planet.  Oh, how I love the Egyptian Energies and how grateful I am to have been there and always able to access them.  Just before coming out of meditation, the Beloved Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet appeared before me once again.  She reminded me of our agreement made in Egypt back in January of 2011.  (If you have been following my blog for sometime you will remember my blog posts from my Egypt trip with lots of information on Sekhmet. If you haven't been reading it that long or have not read my Egypt posts, I highly recommend you take some time to read about the magical experience I had and why it is still so profound this much time later and it is a great way to get to know me.) Back to Sekhment, her name is from the word Sekhem which means power and might. She is a powerful goddess in Egypt depicted with the a lion head and female body. She appeared to me and said, "I gift you now with courage, will power and determination. I bring to you and all within your sphere of influence the majestic light of the Lion's Gate and assist them on their journey with courage, will power and determination."  Needless to say, I felt completely honored and in awe of this beautiful being.  Then the evening was done and I barely got a wink of sleep with all the energy pulsing through me and the downloads into my field. 

Now, this morning  I was sitting here at the computer getting ready to type today's message on my Soul Star Healing fan page and I was hijacked by my guides, the Arcturian Masters of Light, and they brought forth a mini message for you for today. Please read it below and "bask" in the energy of it. (the energy holds immense emanations of love and light!) So it shall be. 

Today's Message: Bask in the energy that surrounds you today. It is your power coming back to you. Reclaim your place in humanity as the majestic being of love that you are. Your light is so bright, you are an eternal sun unto yourself. You are what you have been waiting for--each of you sparkles with the divine and simply being present in your life will create all the miracles that you have long desired. The time has come dear ones, for the new earth is and will unfold exactly as it is meant to. We tell you this on this day for you to begin to take action upon the things you value most in life. That will set the stage for what is to come into reality for you. It is with deep love, honor and respect that we bring this message to you today through EstaRa. We are the Masters of Light.

I share all of this experience with you for you to know that Ancient Egyptian energy is here at this time to assist us all.  I believe clearly that my guides are asking you to discover; that is, if you have not already found what it is you value most in this life because that is what will remain/grow/expand/become your focus. With all the energy of the Lion's Gate, you are "roaring" to go. (Yes, my humor Lion's Gate, lion's roar. hahaha)  The energy is ready for you to take action in your life, but  where do you begin?  So much information coming in on overload, perhaps for some of us as a result of the Lion's Gate, for others they are just all over the place and haven't tapered down to what they value most yet.  This full moon energy is kicking with manifestation power, but it is begging you to balance your energy/thoughts/beliefs/truths.  This is what my guides were referring to when they said, "begin to take action upon the things you value most in life." For example: if you want to feel well, then focus on your well-being not your unwell being and begin to take steps in that direction.  Start learning about how you can better care for yourself, pay attention to the signs the universe is showing you and by all means realize that the power lies in your hands, not the doctors, not other people, not family, not friends, but YOU!  Once you clearly decide what it is you want to "heal", then the universe will provide what you need to move you from "unwell to well".  It sounds easy, I know, but the truth remains that each of you/us has the power to change everything and anything in this new earth reality that we are moving into (have been moving into).  Finally,  our earth will become the place that each of us has been holding inside as the truth for so long. (I will speak for me---YES FINALLY!)  It will be easy for some of us who have been living it for sometime now, while others may have to play a little catch up.  Be kind to your fellow human, they may be playing catch up.  Think twice before getting angry or short with the human you are dealing with on the phone/in person/in a car/etc--they may be playing catch up!  It would benefit you far more to be kind and try to understand before putting out the angry/short/frustrated energy  because those feelings put out a lower vibration, whereas being kind puts out more heart energy and a higher vibration. 

Our realities are changing if you are not already living it, then it is time for you to begin to see the magic that the earth holds for you.  The changes will begin to pick up pace now, with the advent of the September Equinox, things will really begin to move to a place where it feels like everything is different and yet the same.  Some of us have experienced glimpses of it already, and whoa, it was a little confusing, if not unbalancing at first.  It is all good from where I stand on this journey.  Unbalancing isn't always a negative thing; rather it is a good reminder to be present.   

Well that is all I will explore with you for today, but might I make a few suggestions that my guides are providing me with. 

• Remain grounded--it is so necessary at this time  to anchor the energies.  During this time of rapid change on the planet, our very beings (auras and physical bodies) have become receptacles of some of the negative energies we encounter day to day, place to place, experience to experience and grounding into Gaia is how the light pushes it through us out into the earth for Mother Earth to transmute it all to Love energy.  (HUGE reminder to all my clients/students that I sound like a broken record to--Ground everyday at least once if not more than once a day!)   
• Remain hydrated--it is really important to drink plenty of fresh, filtered or spring water.  It is a way we can keep our physical vehicle (body) clean and healthy while we work as transmuters of energy. It is a job that we each took on when we remembered we are the light to heal ourselves and the earth.
• Remain in your heart--for all decisions look to your heart for the answers. It is not a time for going into our heads--we've been there and done that and look where it took humanity?  Look to your heart when you are confronted with decisions from what you should buy at the grocery store to how to speak your truth to someone who may have hurt you.  
• Remain CALM-- I like this one that came in just now.  C is for remembering to find calm and at peace daily.  A is for align with your truth and balance daily.  L is for Live your life in the present moment.  M is for Manifest from your heart.

Enjoy your day, dear beautiful souls and expand yourself into a higher consciousness every chance you get. 

In love and service,
EstaRa 

Quick Snippet on Lion's Gate 8-8.

Quick Snippet on Lion's Gate 8-8.

It's 8-8, the Lion Gate is here...it's been moving in since the end of July and boy did I feel a full force yesterday morning when I woke up.  This energy is intense, but I find it intense in a good way. :)  This energy carries such amazing vibration and frequency; and you will be downloaded with codes to upgrade your DNA, upgrade your light body and provide an energetic blueprint for the year ahead.  If you are local join me this evening at Soul Star Healing  as we gather together to anchor these energies within ourselves and the earth.  In addition to the Lion's Gate we have a full moon rising in the next couple of days. Intense energy like this can throw some people off causing stress/irritation/fear; so you may experience it personally or encounter it with others. Remember to stay hydrated, grounded and breathe.   A wallop of energy coming our way so stay true to you. Have a great 8-8 and celebrate we are raising the our vibration as well as the Earth's.  Love to you all.  Happy Friday!

See you on the other side of this portal with an Energy Update.

Blessings and love
EstaRa

Energy Thoughts: Huge, Rapid Transformation Begins

Good Monday to you!

I started writing this energy update last week, but never quite got around to finishing it.  Do you feel it? We are in transition still, but this time I feel we will begin to see the fruition of long awaited movement.  Have you been feeling stuck and in immovable molasses? That is how I would describe how it has felt for me especially in the last week or so.  Last Wednesday afternoon, I began to feel a shift coming in and a wonkyness to the energy. The wonkyness felt to me like a cloud/fog where you know you are moving forward, but you can't quite see what's ahead yet, so you move along slowly. Now, as I type this, I am laughing and thinking, "slowly?"  The last few weeks, as Mercury began moving direct, seem to have flown by and yet, I can honestly say we have been being cautious, moving slowly forward with a touch of risk taking here and there, for good measure.

Well, with the advent of this past week, that is beginning to all change, the wonkyness has dissipated and I feel clarity getting ready to settle in. I get this image of a feather slowly, but softly falling onto the earth. It is a softening of the energy as it begins to integrate into our day to day lives.  What a pleasure for energy to be gentle for a change?

From my last report, my guides told me that July 18th would be a significant day.  Did anyone experience something significant or understand what the meaning is?  Personally, I had  no profound signs/messages, but I did have a beautiful day with some beautiful people; helping a friend with her wedding vows and helping another friend find inspiration at an Arts Festival (the friend at the Arts Festival--very talented--she just needs a kick in the butt.) But nothing spectacular on the EstaRa/April front.  But now that it is Monday, I can look back over the weekend and can tell you that I feel the wonkyness gone, I was extremely productive on Saturday and Sunday and today, well I have a list of to do's. (That is if I get my butt out of the house and start doing them, but first I felt I should be writing this to all of you!) 

Over the next several weeks fully into the month of August, I feel rapid change will take place.  Can you see the distinct differences between those people locked into 3rd Dimensional Reality (you will see these people, spinning their wheels or running the hamster wheel) and those embracing the new paradigms of the 5th Dimensional Reality (you will see these people grounded with moments of bliss and lightness)?  I have and it seems the separation of belief systems is stronger, forcing each of us to choose our truth.  I can clearly tell you that I made my decision long before 2012 arrived and I knew that my truth is in the new paradigm.  It is our soul's truth, whether we know/believe it or not!   The new paradigm begins with healing ourselves.  Long ago, I wrote the following sentence and I meant it back in 2004, but it is something people would be more receptive to hearing in 2014.  Read and think about it.  (It is listed in all my brochures.)


My belief is that healing for our planet and its inhabitants must  begin individually; we must look within to heal ourselves for if we do not know what peace within is then how can we know what world peace is."
--EstaRa
 
 That is exactly what the shift is about.  Shifting from looking outside yourself for all the answers to knowing that all answers are inside you!  The new paradigm will change the way you see everything:  relationships/love/career/money/peace/truth.  This new energy brings enlightenment where your world will be enlightened and enlivened with the source of all that is:  LOVE!  We are in a most important time on this planet, where the few (wayshowers/path pavers/first wavers) become the many and transform the very way humanity will coexist with other species on and off planet.  Humans you are "growing up" and realizing that fighting  for your toys (materials/money/power/land) is no longer how you will play. The vision I am seeing is two little boys fighting in a sandbox over the dump truck, really? Apparently, that is how humanity is viewed from other worlds; as if we are children fighting over toys like a two year-old would.  Do we really want to live that way?  Now, we can't blame ourselves fully for we were taught that by our parents (ancestors through the systems put in place). There were and are several "systems" (religion/government/financial/societal) in place to make sure we know the game we are playing and what our role is.  But what we can and should take responsibility for is that we are growing up, and with that comes growing pains (that is the changes we must make to feel whole and complete within ourselves).  We have to wake to our truth.  Remember as a child you thought you knew everything? Now, remember that you realized you didn't and you had to figure things out on your own?  Well that is what the awakening is.  It is time to see that we no longer have to play that game, the sandbox is big enough for both of us, we can share the dump truck; and hey, we may even build a better place to live too!   The old rules no longer apply. (and when they do, it is only because we have bought into them and still believe in them.)  In the new paradigm, we see that war is not the answer, peace is; we see that hate is not the answer, love is; we see that separation is not the answer, unity is. The tenants of our new paradigm are peace, love and unity.  Sounds like an old hippie saying, well get used to it, the new hippie's are here and they are not using drugs to get their answers, instead they are using their hearts!  When one's words/thoughts/feelings/truths are backed by the heart, know that nothing is impossible.  


We are in a time of huge, rapid transformation where anything can happen. While some may err on the side of caution when I say "huge, rapid transformation", I will choose to err on the side of "I EXPECT MIRACLES".   My advice to you is to keep shining and keep believing in your dreams and the possibility of the impossible coming to you now. Dreams do come true when you least expect it...be prepared! You may find out find out someone is getting divorced/married/quitting their job/moving out of the country/leaving the financial security behind.  You may even see people who you never thought would believe, let alone be open to "xyz", start talking about "xyz".  Just a few examples of the unexpected coming to fruition. Remember when you were a kid and your mom told you to always have clean underwear on because you never know. (in my case, it was if there were a car accident --why? I don't know. By the way I had a car accident, and well, it really doesn't matter because the last thing you are thinking about is whether or not you have clean underwear on. lol) While you can't really prepare for shocks/surprises, you can put on your clean, best panties for this endeavor in expectation of the best to come, because this is the time of truth/love coming to you unexpectedly/or expectedly for some and you'd want to be prepared, right? lol

In love, laughter and light,
EstaRa

Inspirational Snippet: Clarity is Coming

Good Morning,  I was prompted by my guides to share Soul Star Healing's facebook message to the children of earth and expand a bit upon it. “Today's Message:  Everyone has an inner compass called intuition and for those of us that are awakened, and have been for some time, it is set on high at this time. You will begin to see more clearly over the next several months the truths that have been hidden. The discovery will uncover societal/financial/governmental truths on a local and global scale.  You will also uncover the beliefs/parts of yourself that you have kept hidden or are/were in denial of.  This is the first step in creating our new reality/paradigm; exposing the hidden truths. Trust your inner compass above all else, but know that is not to be confused by what your head holds as truth for many times there is a conflict between head and heart.  The heart is what your soul expresses to you as your inner truth, so I suggest listen carefully to what your heart is pulling you too!"~EstaRA Everyone often wonders, how can I access my intuition?  How can I develop it?  It may seem mystical , magical and unattainable to develop your gift of intuition, but dear ones it is a gift that each and every one of you have.  The magic is when you stop listening to the world outside bombarding you with ideas of what is good, true and acceptable and you start listening to the voice inside of you. The quickest easiest way to access your intuition and maintain that is to work on yourself.  Using my guides message from above.   See your truth.  Not the truth that you wish to share with the world because it is good or makes you look good.  See the truth in you that many do not know and really get real with yourself.  It is time to look at all the untruths you have been living and seek to understand why?  Seek to know what makes you "tick" so to speak.  I promise you that it is worth the journey.  Believe me, I didn't wake up one day and say wow I am psychic.  Like you I came to Earth knowing that I was special, but growing up and being bombarded by other people's ideas of what is good, true and acceptable shut me down.  The only thing that ever helped me to wake up was to look at my life and get serious about changing it.  I needed to truly look at me “naked in the mirror of life” so to speak to see all of me and understand why I was holding onto the lessons and choosing to not learn them or better choosing to not see them.  For starters, I had to see the responsibility I had for what I brought into my life and the responsibility I had to change my life.  Once I was able to see me and my life more clearly, I saw that everything became changeable.  Look inside you before you try to help others because I promise once you see you and your life more clearly; then you can see everything and everyone more clearly. Question everything about the world you live in and begin to see what takes place.  With an quiet mind, open heart and the ability to see more clearly you will start to see the truths that others are expressing too from personal to global perspectives. My wish for you today is to use your inner compass and follow your truth. Love to you, EstaRa
