Even though we have moved beyond the Eclipse Gateway, we are still feeling its effects. If new pathways have not yet opened, they will, so be patient. The reason for this is because rarely do things shift on the particular date of a cosmic event because we are in timelessness, regardless of what our calendars and clocks say. It is always important to do Ceremony on the day of the event, for that aligns our energies with the event. Most don’t experience the shift on that particular day, but when a person is ready as decided by Soul. As an illustration of this, last night (March 28-29), I had an ongoing dream in which I released some old behaviors and attitudes that were most limiting and these were transformed into Strength and Power. I kept having a continuation of the dream until I consciously claimed the Transformation. I was continuously awakened after each segment of the dream to do this. When I finally claimed them, the dream stopped. If you are still experiencing the Power of the Gateway, trust that all is in Divine Order.

The energy we have received during and after the Gateway has propelled us forward in the New. Even though we can see the old 3D world is going through some challenging times, we view the worldly events rather dispassionately…being in the world, but not of it. We potentially have detached in a huge way from the old world and our focus is more on seeing the strides we have made and continue to make as we are operating in a higher consciousness and vibrational reality. Whether your passage has been challenging (when you resist) or gentle (when you flow), the result is the same. It’s all how we choose to perceive the changes. We can see the world as broken or we can see it transforming. Much of how we view the world is an indication of how we view ourselves. When one is Love and whole, it is impossible not to see the world through those eyes and see that all is occurring in Divine Order. Of course, it is each being’s choice as to how they perceive themselves as well as the world.

We do not know what is coming next and this is because we are guided to stay in the Moment. For me, when I see predictions of “doom and gloom,” I roll my eyes and see those predictions as fear-producing. I choose not to promote fear, but to promote Love. What occurs in the future is not our concern. Fear-producing blogs or videos do nothing more than take us out of the Moment and fill us with more fear and the desire to save the Earth, which, as we know, is fruitless, because the Earth does not need saving, for She and we are going through a metamorphosis and I for one do not want to interfere with that, as I wouldn’t want anyone to “save” me from my own metamorphosis.

When we are in the Moment, we can address anything that comes our way in Strength, Love and Wisdom. And from this, we take an action step to what we’re guided to do, if anything. Whatever a person is guided to do comes directly from wherever their consciousness is. When we are worried about what may happen in the future, we stop the Creative Flow and become frozen in fear. As one’s consciousness expands, their choices shift. What one may have chosen to do before the Gateway is probably much different now. In the New, there is constant Expansion and growth. There are barriers to dissolve and self-imposed rules to let go of and this empowers our Awareness and consciousness. Based on this Expansion, we make different choices than we would have made before.

As your consciousness grows, your merging with Soul strengthens and from here you are more aware and your choices reflect the strengthening, as do your thoughts and feelings. You step into being more of who you are and this is the Opportunity the Eclipse Gateway brought to us, if we were ready and willing. From this place of being more you, it is easier to surrender to the unknown and easier to trust that you are not alone, yet sovereign. You see that you have chosen to be on Earth, leaving your high dimensional Home in order to help the Earth transform to a higher consciousness and dimension. As you know, coming to Earth at this time, we have stepped into 3D life. We lost our memory of who we are and yet, in the New we begin to remember in order to help all of life remember who they really are as well.

With more Awareness, you may see more clearly into yourself. What may be revealed is where you are still attached. Attachment really is a subset of fear. It is the fear of loss. Attachment brings up issues of controlling outcomes as well as fixing and saving. Attachment may be related to a person, a pet, a way of being, an outcome or the way you think things should be, including what the New should look like. So be aware of where you are attached, infuse it with Love and gently let go and trust all is in Divine Order. When we let go of attachments, we actually are able to love more. There truly is no loss. It is a perception based in separation.

With an expanded consciousness, there is an Opportunity to drop the old separative view of “us and them.” The homeless person, the person in prison and others you perceive as less or more than you, are all aspects of you. This is Oneness. There is no separation in the New; there is only the recognition that we are all a part of each other. We are One. We are connected through Love; the one Truth. While you may make different choices than others do and each being has unique gifts and experiences, we are One. Being One does not carry judgment or fear; it is recognizing that while each person has their own path in life, we are all connected in the One Love.

This Eclipse Gateway has shown us also that there is a perception of a large expanse between the old and the New. We may perceive the old world as being polarized and yet that is a perception. Your perceptions shift, while beliefs that you are attached to do not. As you expand, your perceptions change. All perceptions really are an extension of what you hold within you. As you expand, so do your perceptions. Be an observer; detached and view all in Love. What one may claim to be true, may not be true for all. It depends on each one’s consciousness, Awareness, perceptions and attachments. Realize that sometimes a person may feel they must be right in order to win. The evolving person realizes that there is no such thing as “being right” and that there is no such thing as winning; for to win, there must be a loser; and to be right, someone must be wrong. However a person chooses to be is for them and not necessarily for you, except to see what is within to release and transform. Having to be right in order to win is indeed of the old separate ego. The only goal for the evolving one is Love and to continue to evolve as more Love. That is all.

Our physical bodies are being upgraded by New Codes of Light. Our physical bodies reflect what is in our emotional and mental bodies, and yet our physical bodies seem to be experiencing the shift more dramatically. This may be because for eons we believed that we were not much more than our physical bodies and many still carry that belief in their cells. We are so much more than our physical bodies; much more than our emotional and mental bodies too. We are complete universes! We are the stars and the planets. Everything in the universe is us. Everything in the universe is Love; that is who we are. As we honor this, our very Presence shifts others. Knowing who we are in Truth brings Balance to the world. Being authentic is being all of who we are without shame or judgment. Being authentic shines our Divine Presence onto everything and everyone.

Since we are still transitioning, take care of yourself as best you can. Meditate, rest and eat and drink as healthily as you know how. Remember to be outdoors and breathe deeply into your Heart. Surround yourself in Inspiration. This can be lighting candles, having your crystals around you, as well as creating an Altar in your home, or anything that inspires you. My main Altar has each of the elements: water, fire, earth and air. For water, I have a small earthen vessel with crystals and purified water in it; for fire, I have a candle; for Earth, I have sage and for air I have feathers. My Altar is a place of worship and focus.

As beings of the New, we are Divine Creators. Every thought and feeling creates. We hold more Light and are more powerful now. We know Abundance is who we are; it is not outside of us. Nothing is outside of us, for we create what is within us. As we grow In Awareness, our thoughts and feelings are refined and so goes our world. “As above, so below; as within, so without.” As we expand as Love, our self-esteem rises and we shine in our Authenticity. Being Love affects every aspect of us and as we grow, our Light shines forth, touching all. We don’t do this through mental projection, but by being who we are. The rest happens spontaneously and naturally. As we recognize ourselves as Essence, we need not continue to seek outer tools in order to grow, for all we need is within.

“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”

What Is Your Next Step?From the higher realms of existence, your angels are working to assist you in navigating through your unique path here on earth. Angels have so much to offer. From energetic support, aligning chance meetings, and nudging you in the direction of love, joy, growth, fulfillment, and your highest and greatest good your angels are always happy to help.
I have often had people mention to me that their angels must be really tired of them, because of how much they ask the angels for help, all the while making the wrong choices, stubbornly holding on to the past, or consistently changing their mind about what they want and are asking for.
The truth is your angels never tire of helping you… So, continue to ask for help.Angels do however love to see you progress on your path and constantly try to give you signs to show you your next steps. You may be making your life more difficult by not noticing the signals or taking the steps laid out before you.
These steps will help carry you forward on your ascension path, in the direction of your goals and towards accomplishing your highest and greatest good.
But, even if you’re not listening, or not noticing the path illuminated before you, your angels never give up. Even if you are way off course and heading in the direct opposite direction of your souls purpose and your highest and best possible path, your angels will keep nudging you to take just one step in the right direction.
If you are way off course, it may take you a while to get back on track and there will be many steps required and obstacles to overcome. But, each step of the way your angels will be with you, and when you do take a step in the right direction, they will quickly shift to support you in finding your next best step on the path. They will also send you signs and signals to help you see and know the next best step.
One step at a time the angels will illuminate you soul’s path before you.
When you take one step, then your next step will appear.
But I do want to clarify a couple of things…The first thing is that you have free will and choice. Your angels are not trying control you.


This is why your guides and angels will allow you the freedom to walk in the wrong direction or make choices that lead to more challenges in your life. They will never force you to take the step towards the increased ease, joy, and love even though that is what they ultimately want for you.
So even if you’re choosing to go in the opposite direction of your purpose, your angels will do their best to get your attention. With signs, signals, guidance, and though your intuition they will illuminate your next best step in the direction of the path ahead which will most serve.
The second thing I want to clarify is this:The guidance your angels offer you may not be exactly what you are wanting or hoping for.
When I say they show you your next step, it may be something seemingly small and insignificant, unexpected or seemingly unrelated. Even if you want to know what the next big step is to help you make sense of your life in terms of the big picture, they will offer you what serves you most. Which may seem unrelated.
This actually just happened to me…I’ve not really mentioned this here on the site before, but I am actually traveling perpetually right now.
I do not have a home base, and I have been a lightworker on the move, bouncing from place to place for about two years now. In this sort of nomadic lifestyle I’m engaged in, it offers me a huge opportunity to master trust and continue to allow my path to appear, one step at a time.
As I do energy clearing and healing work and anchor light in different places around the world, there are some amazing benefits. But this path is far from easy and there is also a huge amount of unknown…
Right now I am in Australia, and I know that next, I will be going to Hawaii en route to the mainland United States. From there, I have nothing but a big question mark on my path, and honestly, it would be nice to know…
I would love to have the comfort and a sense of security knowing where my home will be 2 months from now, but I trust that will appear in due time.
Just today, I was asking the angels what my next step was, hoping to learn my next home-base, and you know what they told me?
Write this blog post!And you know what? Things are actually making a bit more sense to me now!
Not in terms where I will be in a few months, but in the sense that I don’t really need to know that right now.
Following my path as it appears before me, one-step at a time, is a beautiful opportunity to practice trusting the universe, going with the flow, and being in the present moment.
I may not know where I will be in a few months, which is a bit un-nerving, but I have a few ideas, and I do trust and know that when the timing is right, my next step in that direction will appear.
For now… Writing this has post has brought me some clarity and reassurance that I am on the right path, and that I simply need to keep taking the next best step before me as it appears.
I am guided and so are you. Honestly, from this place right here in the present moment, all we can do is take one-step at a time.
Sure, you can quickly take multiple steps forward, quickly; or take a giant leap forward… But even then, progress, growth, and even a huge change in direction is still happening one step at a time.


So if you’re asking your angels for help now, and wanting to see the big picture of where you’re headed, or the big changes you need to make to improve your situation, don’t be surprised or disappointed if you get something simple.
If you do… Take the small step and ask again for your next step while focusing on being fully present in the now moment.
With this presence and mindfulness, you will be able to notice and you will be ready to act when the opportunity for a big step appears.
And as you keep taking small step after small step, one day, you will look back and see how far you traveled on your path as if you took a giant, quantum leap forward… But really, it all happened one small step at a time.

Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share with you an observation I made about dream travel or astral (lucid) projection this past weekend. If you want, try it out!
This past Sunday I took a late afternoon nap. I’m not a usual nap taker but when my body can’t shake that sleepy feeling a power 15 or 20 minute nap usually does the trick. You know the type where you lay in one position, your body becomes so, so heavy and before you know it you wake up feeling recharged! 
I’ve come to find out in these times I need to get my physical self out of the way to repair or charge my energetic self or to go gather knowledge throughout the cosmos. It’s like an emergency council meeting is being called! :)
So, back to Sunday. I became aware in a dream that I was dreaming. I was walking on a college campus when a man walked by me and said, “Hey! I recognize you from Salem!” hahaha. No doubt, I thought! I briefly came out of the dream, knew I was in my bed but consciously decided to go to another place to explore. Boom, there I was in Egypt. Both of these places had a solid reality to me. 
As I finally decided to wake up, I kept my eyes closed and went through not only all the places I visited but how it felt to go from one place to another. It felt like I left my physical body, walked through my bedroom wall but instead of being outside my house I was in a different time, place and reality.
I realized it wasn’t a thought that got me there but a feeling! 
Here is my dream travel recipe:
When you get ready to sleep feel what it is like to sit next to someone you love very deeply. Imagine perhaps having dinner with this person and the feeling of being totally locked on in conversation. Now pay attention to how you feel in your heart. Imagine no words need to be said and focus on the feeling of love and contentment you have for the other. Now, let that feeling expand as you drift off with the intention of visiting a place, a person or an experience and see what happens. I tried it again last night and sure enough I went to where I intended. I hope you have fun with this. Travel well!
Much Love,
Suz

Do you realize what's happening now? 


It's a Divinely guided... Total Life Makeover.

Seriously!

The Universe is carrying you through changes now that are so much more than skin deep... 

There's an enormous push happening. 


A huge opportunity for you to more deeply align with your highest soul purpose, your authentic truth, and who you really are. 

Has life felt a bit like a roller-coaster recently? 

It's not easy transitioning out of density and into the higher realms of love... 

It's not easy being in the midst of huge changes and infinite unknown... 

But I'm here now to remind you, that you are in the process of stepping into your full light. 

Of bringing the fullness of your higher enlightened self into the physical. 

This process is powerful, and the result will be rewarding beyond measure. 

But for the ego, it's like pulling teeth. 

The ego is having to let go of the old paradigm that it wants to desperately hold onto... 

Your ego it's fighting your shift into embracing the radiantly brilliant truth of who you really are.

And trying to pull you back into old tensions, patterns, and drama. 

But remember, you're not your ego! 

You are a spiritual being. 

Yes, you are a Divine being, and at any moment you can choose to step back in perspective, out of ego and into a place where you can simply observe. 

You can choose to reconnect with Love, Spirit, and Truth. 

And there is so much support available to you, when you make the time... 

• To meditate daily. 
• To cleanse and uplift your energy. 
• To cut and release cords that are draining you. 
• To tune into the personal guidance available to you from God, and the angels.
• To laugh, relax, and enjoy. 
• To breathe and shift into the perspective of observer. 

And you know what? 

I have something that can help you to do all of this...

If you feel lonely, or misunderstood by your current group of friends or partner, then it’s time to find your “tribe.”
 
Your tribe consists of like-minded people who understand you. They can be friends, business partners, or your romantic partner. They are gentle and respectful to you, and would never make fun of you. For that reason, you feel comfortable being yourself around your tribe members. 
 
When you’re with your tribe, there’s no shame or embarrassment about yourself, because they support your positive healthy dreams and actions. They love you as you are, and they help you to be an even better version of your true self. There’s no need to pretend, or try to please. Your tribe enjoys being with you, especially the more that you are your authentic self, as I wrote about in my book Assertiveness for Earth Angels.
 
So where are these lovely people? How do you find them? Here are 4 ways:
 1. Be yourself. The only way to find your tribe is to be your authentic self when you’re with other people and trust in the law of attraction. Your tribe will enjoy and love the genuine YOU, not some counterfeit version that you put on publicly. So, relax and stop trying so hard to please others or make them like you. Don’t twist yourself for others’ approval. Don’t pretend to like something if you don’t. If someone is from your tribe, they’ll enjoy your realness. If they’re not your tribe, they’ll fall away from your life… leaving space for your real tribe members to fill.

2. Become a joiner. You can find like-minded people at places dedicated to activities that you naturally enjoy. Doing activities that you love with other people creates a bond of shared experiences. For example, if you love photography, join a photography class or club. Love hiking? There are hiking clubs in most towns. Adore spiritual books? There’s a book club waiting for you. You can find interesting groups and classes on meetups.com, or create your own group on the website. If religion or spirituality is important to you, then frequently attend services, classes, and get-togethers related to your beliefs. 
 
3. Be charitable. The social and environmental issues that are dear to you, are also dear to your tribe members. So, join a local charity dedicated to supporting this cause. You’ll meet lots of caring people, who put their spiritual principles into action. When I did a reading on my Hay House Radio show recently for a woman who wanted to know, “Where are all the spiritual men?” the angels said that you could find men with spiritual hearts at charity events. The angels said these men aren’t necessarily religious or “new age” in their spirituality, but that they are living the spiritual principles of charity, generosity, thoughtfulness, and so forth. 
 
4. Say hello from your heart. Once you attend these meetings and groups, pray for the courage to introduce yourself and talk. To turn acquaintances into friends or a romantic partner, there needs to be an energy exchange and conversation. As you invite more spiritually minded people into your life, then conversations and actions become more heart-centered and gentle, in respect for the sensitivity for those on the spiritual path. So, speak from your heart, and be sure to give space for listening to the other person, too.
 
As we grow wiser and more spiritually minded, our interests naturally change. We become more sensitive to other people’s energies, actions, and words. So, we may grow apart from people with whom we previously shared previous interests. Life is too short to spend it with people who drain your energy, or who have little in common with you. Put your time and focus into building relationships that are mutually supportive with people you can count upon. 
 
Here’s a prayer to help you:
 
“Dear God,
 
Thank you for guiding me to friendships that are healthy, trustworthy, and supportive of the real self that You created within me. Thank you, Creator, for helping me to have the courage to meet and maintain loving relationships. Thank you for helping me to love myself as You love me, and to be my authentic self when I’m with other people.” 
 
For more information on living authentically, and being real in relationships, please read Assertiveness for Earth Angels here. I’ve also created a video course about assertiveness, that you can watch on your mobile devices at your own schedule here. The course even allows you to become a Certified Assertiveness Coach at no extra cost, to help others learn how to find their voice. And if you want to take your assertiveness to an even deeper level, please join author Nancy Levin and myself in Maui this October, for a relaxing and empowering Assertiveness Retreat.

« Ascension Notes 
March Energies - 03-Mar-2016 

March is another Power month. Next week we have the New Moon eclipse, then the week after is the Equinox and then the following week is the Full Moon eclipse. Whoa! Lots of energy is packed into the following weeks; energy to help us move forward, shifting us ever higher. While we always have a choice to flow or resist, there truly is no returning to the old. Oh, you can try, yet your seat is no longer saved. So we continue, placing one foot in front of the other, feeling Joy beneath the perceived pain of our bodies adjusting to so much Light. Focus on the Joy and not the pain, for this makes it easier. Any remaining lower energies in our system are being pushed up into our conscious minds as our Divine Male and Female selves learn to balance as One  (feeling to action; being to doing, receiving to expressing). And with this calibration, we sense physical phenomena. These can include extreme Joy as well as extreme despair. There seems to be a lot of activity around the Heart and Solar Plexus, so breathe into any area that is adjusting. Fear is up as folks wonder how they’re going to live financially, questioning what is next in their chosen field of Heartwork. Many sense there is a change to be made, yet nothing is clear as to what. All of it requires us to radically trust. There may be a glimmer of a next step, only to dissipate in a few moments.

We are dissolving many cords of those who are dependent on us, yet this is happening rather quickly. The best we can do is let go of everything that surfaces and allow the process; the calibration to be more Light. This month we will make a very large leap forward, leaving much behind in the dust. Many are holding onto what is familiar, yet this is not the path to take in order to evolve. This month, folks who have been afraid to leap before will do so and in leaping, or even taking one small step, you discover gifts you have, your Intuition is more empowered and you sense a greater alignment with your Authentic Self; your Soul. With the eclipses and Equinox, we move forward in Grace.

It’s important to let go of controlling and pushing to make things happen, and to allow things to flow into their natural places; this Allowance is you working with the Divine Flow and not against it. This Acceptance is important, for this month there is a lot more letting go and letting be. Everything occurs for your benefit, if you care to look beneath the surface. When you see the gift in even the most difficult circumstances, be assured you are in Divine Flow.

If you haven’t noticed already, you have let go of much of the old matrix; that sticky web that kept you in place and well below your natural expression of Authenticity. Take a deep look at yourself and see how much you’ve let go of, especially those things you were in the old matrix. You may discover many things you used to love and don’t anymore, like arguing to win, politics, and anything to do with what religions, governments and other old institutions were telling you…how to be according to their rules. The shift is not just personal; it is global, for as you let go of what the old has been telling you and think for yourself, you let go of the old even more. It’s been a gradual process. We are guided to be more and as we shine our Light and Awareness outward we help the old institutions transform…just by honoring our Sovereignty. This may seem as though we are letting go of our security and comfort, yet there is so much more when we do, for the old security and comfort are illusions.

As we let go of the old, things get easier because we aren’t fighting against the New as much as we have been, even when you say you can’t wait for the New to be completely here. Know too that all happens in stages and nothing is in black and white. So we gradually move into the New, as we gradually let go of the old. We are still balancing our Divine Feminine and Masculine; so be aware of on what side of your body is experiencing the most change. The right side symbolizes the Divine Male and the left side the Divine Feminine. If you are experiencing phenomena on both sides, you are balancing both within you. As this continues, some old physical phenomena may present; do not be concerned; it’s part of the continual balancing of all our bodies. What you may experience is unique for you, so I will share some of what I am experiencing: nausea, headache, varying degrees of ear ringing, dizziness, lots of activity around the Solar Plexus, heaviness, exhaustion one minute and energized the next, and some other things that escape me in this moment. You see, I don’t focus on the symptoms, but on the reason for them. In this way, they move through rather quickly. And I always do self-care, dropping everything to just Be. I suggest you do the same, no matter what you experience. Do not compare yourself to others, for we are all unique. The ones who have been on this path for a while will continue to fine-tune, while others may just be beginning. It matters not where you are.

Part of the physical adjustment is because we are slowly integrating our Light Body, as well as releasing the old, balancing the Divine Feminine and Masculine and receiving more and more Light Codes. While at times we feel lighter; at other times we feel heavy, for it’s important to stay grounded and remain on Earth. We also are transforming our familial gene pool, as well as upgrading our chakras, DNA, cellular structure and electrical system. And as this occurs, we are in touch with dormant gifts, our multidimensionality, as Earth is as well. We continue to shift and if you look to see who you are now compared to who you have been, you’ll be amazed at how much you’ve changed. And by the end of March, you may very well notice how much more you’ve shifted. Just align yourself asLove and not with fear. When in fear, you hold yourself back in duality and empower the old, so if you feel fear, be sure to release it, once you go deeper to see what has been creating it and release that too. Have your entire focus be Love (being Divine); for that puts you in the Flow. This helps you feel peaceful. Know too that fear can also push you forward, mostly because it doesn’t feel very good when fear is present.

There is more awakening and this leads to more Awareness this month. This Awareness helps you see where you are still steeped in duality and illusion. This Awareness will shine a light on your lower-vibrating beliefs and emotions like judgment or comparing yourself to others. It might include old stories you have kept alive, competition and/or conflict. Be the Compassionate Observer without the ego-desire to jump into the fray in order to “be right” or save or teach. Realize, too, that many are releasing cultural beliefs/illusions; those things they have bought into without question. When you are super aware of everything you feel, say and do, you can see where you are still engaged in something just because it’s the way it’s always been. You might feel isolated because you have chosen to disengage from those around you who are still attached to the old. Stand tall and claim your own space. Part of Ascension calls you to walk away at times to be alone. Being alone helps you be strong in your own Truth and not in someone else’s truth. This doesn’t mean you don’t love others; you simply are choosing to be who you are now, based on your inner guidance. In time, you become stronger in your own energy and it won't feel so strange when you are with others who are still choosing to be in the old.

Because everything shifts, you won’t always feel isolated or alone, if you do at all. Follow your energy. There will be times when you are drawn to go somewhere. During these times, notice the synchronicities. Notice how you feel around certain people; you will either be attracted or repelled and this tells you a lot about where it is good to be and where it is not; based on individual vibration and consciousness. Pay close attention to what your energy does when someone repeats one of their old stories or when you do. These stories are a way to stay in the old. When you finally let them go, you feel an incredible release and Freedom. Remember that consciousness creates your life, so as you let go of the old stories, whether it’s complaining about something or how you always get sick at a certain time or how you’ve always been poor or whatever, the Freedom you feel when you let your stories go is amazing.

Living in the New is not complicated; old 3D life is complicated. The New is simple; it is flowing in Grace; your feelings (not emotions) lead the way. All one need do is to stay awake, present and aware. The rest flows from your consciousness.

Part of the New is letting go of the sadness you have for others and for situations that seem broken to you. Being the Compassionate Observer helps you let go of your desire to rescue or save and thus you see all is in Divine Order. Seeing things broken or needing to be rescued says more about you than them. Remember, everyone has choice. If someone asks you to help them, make sure you are doing it in a way that honors the other and does not place you above anyone or anything. We need not save, rescue or heal (fix) when we see that as we keep our vibration high, all around us shifts as well…like a tuning fork. This is being more compassionate. There is a story I heard once about a person sinking in quicksand. His friend was standing on solid ground and he threw a rope to the sinking friend. He claimed that to jump in to save the person, they both would die. Rather, he stood aside and pulled his friend to where he was. Compassion isn’t jumping in to rescue; it is standing strong in one’s Wholeness.

During this total solar eclipse (March 8th or 9th, depending on where in the world you are…maximum eclipse is at 1:59 UTC time), the energy helps to empower change. It is also a New Moon, which is great for beginning something new, so you might receive some powerful guidance at this time and for several days, weeks and possibly months after. Old patterns and beliefs may surface as well, so that you may receive more Light. The eclipse helps us take action toward creating something new in our lives, as long as we’re willing to let go of those things that block the way forward. Be clear about what you are putting out there and then be willing to take a step toward your dream.

You may wonder what all these energies will lead to. While Ascension is infinite, this stage of Ascension helps us expand into a new and heightened consciousness, which helps us anchor our Authentic Selves much more than before. This actually has been occurring for the past year, generally speaking, so whether this is the final anchoring to be Christed or not depends on our Willingness to be all that we are. For some, it is another shift forward and for others it is an absolute anchoring of their Souls. If you don’t feel it, no worries. Everyone is exactly where they need to be. This eclipse is a push forward and we will spend the rest of the year taking steps to fully merge into and as our Authentic Selves. How you use this energy is, of course, your choice. Trust that you are supported in all you choose to do or choose not to do. Our Souls are neutral and they honor our Free Will. Soul will never tell you what to do or not do. Do know that we are so much closer to having our Souls; our whole being; be completely merged; just as Gaia is evolving into Her Wholeness.

We are in very exciting times as we continue to evolve and awaken to our fullest potential. No matter where you are on this Divine continuum, you are one of the ones who is bringing Heaven to Earth. Can you see it? Can you feel it?

An excerpt from the latest Ascension Manual book, from our friends, the Galactic and Angelic beings known as the Collective:
The Ascension Manual – Part Two: Creating a Fifth Dimensional Life
from Chapter 5 - “On Dealing with Old Pain and Anger"
Most Lightworkers are now deeply in the process of releasing and healing old situations that have angered or grieved them in the past.

Yet the ego and personality—the old defenses and automatic mental processes—are unsure about this new path you are now on.

They would prefer that you hold onto the old grievances indefinitely.
Thinking they are protecting you, your mind and ego are doing their old job of reminding you of how this person or that behaved badly or did not stand by you.
They do this in part because they are of a lower vibration than your higher mind, which is expressed by your intuition or heart-mind.


They also feel that they are protecting you from ever letting another person or situation harm you that way again.


This is not protection, of course—it is defensiveness, and it does not protect you.
If anything, it serves as a magnet for a repeat of those painful situations.


When these old memories come up, tell them, “Thank you. I love you. I’m sorry I was not able to protect you from this. There is a better way now, a way of peace. I Am now releasing this anger and resentment (or sorrow or feeling of loss), in all directions of time.”

This assures the younger, more vulnerable you that you will care for them, protect them, and never abandon them.

And that there is no need for further grief or fear or anger. That is dissolving now. 
You will need to be firm, and to let your ego-mind know who is in control here.
For most assuredly, both ego/personality and mental ruts will prefer to stay in the fight.
Repeat yourself whenever needed.

“I said I am no longer angry [or afraid, or in mourning] about that, and I meant it. Mind! Pay attention! You are fully capable of learning something new!” 

Increasingly now, your guides, Angelic guardians, and higher self will show you ways to release any new unhappy moments the instant they occur, so that they neither attach to events of the past, nor become new difficulties that only add to the anger or sorrow you are now releasing.

Bridge the time between the past and that peace-based future with these affirmations.
And rejoice that these old grievances and points of trauma are now coming to the surface.
For you are here now, in the Ascension process, to release everything about the third dimension, and most especially that lower emotional density that keeps you bound to the consciousness of the third dimension, as if it were the only reality possible.
 You are choosing a new reality. Be glad for all you have learned in this jou
rney.
Do not pay a former abuser or captor the compliment of having wounded you indefinitely; that serves no one but your wounded ego-mind.
Let that ego-self know that your higher self—your fifth dimensional self—is the new sheriff in town.

And that you wear that badge with pride, and will brook no nonsense, no matter how big the deputy (the mind and ego) think they are.

​True Love is not something that just happens: - it is something that grows.
The first seeds of love are sown when we meet each other.  Especially with Twin Flames, there is a deep soul reconnection, as eyes meet eyes.  For the eyes are the windows to the soul, and inherently those eyes and the face will more or less stay the same through many lifetimes, parallel lives and Universes.  Even one’s true soul self has more or less the same face in its Light body form, just more ethereal and refined.  Essentially we stay the same as we were created to be and become.
Unfortunately romance novels and romantic expectation often trip up potential partnership and existing ones for here one builds unrealistic expectations.
When I was Librarian I often used to joke about this saying that one day I will write these novels, which most women devour. It was a matter of Cinderella meeting her Prince – who of course was tall, dark and handsome – but don’t leave out the very wealthy part…. More like a multimillionaire, who owns private jets, yachts, etc.  He was the closest to Mr. Perfect you can conjure up.   Then a type of female stepsister/bitch/tragedy would try to put a spanner in wheel.   After some trials and tribulations they find their way back to each other and live happily ever after (at least that is where the story ends, yet in real life that is when all the drama but starts, when the Princess suddenly realizes that Prince has turned into a frog …..)
Indeed the Bestselling British romance author Barbara Cartland had a strict formula that she used for her romances, and not one was more than 5000 words.  Yet she, herself was married more than one time.  The same goes for Danielle Steele (perhaps one of the most loved romantic authors) whose own life after a number of husbands, reads like one of own novels.  The last time I read about her she was with husband number 8.
A friend of mine who is a marriage counselor, once told me that he thinks the greatest break up of marriages occur because of women reading too many romantic novels and not doing a reality check.
This is not to find the right or wrong – I loved reading them myself when I was a teenager – but rather to understand that as with all of life, love will always lead one back to oneself, and all within that is not loved nor resolved.
The fact is, after the first period of love and roses, suddenly the flawless lovers’ flaws start to appear and with it all the buttons get pushed we never knew we had.  All of a sudden what used to fascinate us about the other, become the greatest irritations.
Some go into marriage with the idea that they will be able to change the partner.  I have heard so many of my own girlfriends say that, where they had someone with addiction problems, and then saying:  “Oh all of that will change for sure after we marry.”   That illusion was soon scattered for the truth is that you cannot change on hair on another person, nor anything about them, you can only change yourself. 
I personally found when I met my Twin, that I did not quite know what had hit me.  All my own insecurities, and my own fears came up with a bang, and he seemed to push every single button I never knew I had.  I ran away, because I could not handle his energy.
It took me some time to understand that I needed to work on myself, and heal deep within, before I could truly love myself, and then, by doing my own inner work, something deep inside me shifted.  Now I can love in a far deeper and more profound manner, and when my buttons do get pushed, I tend to get over this more quickly and immediately set out to do the inner work.  With doing the inner work, my heart stays open and with it love deepens.  Love has found a new way to express itself, by no means perfect, but in a way I could never love before.  It is a type of expanded growing awareness of the depth, the profundity of love.  It is ever expanding me in one way or another, and with it teaching me immense lessons in the infinite cosmic possibilities of loving even more.
True love is something that grows when one is willing to truly do the inner work: work through all those insecurities, all the false programming that we have had via our parents, for most of the relating we somehow received via our parents.  After all they were our earliest role models, in one way or the other.    More than this, it’s the false expectations, the false ideas of how the other should act, be, become, or the way we perceive their actions or inactions were detrimental to us that mostly lead to pain and discord in any relationship.
 When we finally see the truth, these illusions dissolve, the heart opens up, and one can at last stand in a true state of Grace and Gratitude and say:  “Thank you!  I love you!”
True love, has at its core the word: TRUTH. 
The naked truth stands in there anchored in the higher state of Love – pure unconditional love.  Love without expectations.
It is easier to see the flaws, the shadows, the imperfections in the Divine Other: - than to see this within ourselves. 
It is easy to take one’s clothes off and stand naked, but it takes guts to stand naked, and vulnerable, cleaved open to the very core of your soul and speak the TRUTH with a partner…. To share what is there INSIDE of you and to do so openly and honestly and not shrink away from that. 
For deep down we all fear rejection.  We fear that our partner will see more flaws inside our self than we see in there, because of deep-rooted beliefs about not being WORTHY of love or being loved.  We believe that we are unlovable.  Yet, if you believe deep down that you are unworthy of love, and you do not love yourself, reject yourself at some level, then how can you expect the other soul to love you as you are? 
When one finds the deep and profound soul moments, when the heart and soul open to the very core and one stands there naked in truth, a much deeper and profound connection occurs.  Now all the illusions have gone, all the masks, all the personas, all the mind chatter.  The heart has opened up.  The soul has opened up. And now, at last: 
Soul can meet soul. 
Heart can meet heart.
Higher mind can meet higher mind.
Higher emotional body can meet higher emotional body.
Higher physical body can meet higher physical body.
For all is ONE.
And then, amidst the tears of recognition that there is only love – union becomes a deep ONENESS.  All else has disappeared.  True love finally emerges, and can blossom forth into expanded BEINGNESS.
Deep bonding now occurs.  Deeper than ever before, for now one is starting to energetically align to the highest truth of both souls, and that of the higher mind, the heart energies intertwine.
Essentially this is what true love is about.
When such deep bonds are forged, then no matter what life brings, one will somehow always find a way towards that state through both support and challenge. 
I remember when my parents had their Golden Wedding Anniversary; how my uncle said that they were a shining example of two people who through the greatest challenges, the greatest adversities, stayed together.  And indeed it was so.  They had more than their own fair share of crosses to bear, but when the chips were down, they were there for each other.  This does not say that they had the perfect marriage: - indeed not. 
My mother once told me that there were times when she truly thought of leaving my father.  However then she found that deep down the love she had for him would come to the fore in some way, and with it the love for her children.  Within it then that love showed itself that when my father was lost to us, with Alzheimer’s disease, every single day my mother would insist that my sister or I take her to him, and she would sit there with him no matter what, even when he could not even remember who she was.  Such is the love of a woman.
Perhaps we never know to what greater levels of love we are capable of giving and receiving, until we have no other option left but to love and allow ourselves to be loved. 
For love loves where it wills.
It does not respect boundaries, nor fortresses built around the heart.
It does not ask if you are very rich, nor poor.
It does not have expectations.
It does not look at your long pedigree, nor how many degrees you have, nor how much status you have, even how lowly you are, now how much you have done or not done – nor where you live, or not live, even if you live on the street, love will find you in some way.
Soul who once loved, loves eternally.
For love was birthed in eternity and continues ad infinitum.
It can never dry up.
It cannot be turned on and off like a tap.
Love makes fools of those who think they can control any outcomes.
It makes fun of long lists of expectations, and long formulas for finding Mr. or Ms. Right.  It will bring the soul into your life who is JUST RIGHT FOR YOU – indeed tailor made for you and the soul lessons you have to master!
More than this, if souls are meant to work together for the greater good of mankind, then love will knit them together, in some way or another, for love will always find ways where human beings cannot.  For the souls agreed to do this work even before they were born.
Such is the ultimate power of love.
