I hope you support your heart in working with the ever-expanding demands for transmuting your life. The growth required now is phenomenal as the species recreates itself. Few are untouched as they or loved ones battle critical illnesses, recuperate from crushing blows of some sort, or discover the need to redefine major areas of their life. Spirit is holding steady with you as you move through this white water of life and learn how to negotiate the new channels of the paradigm that is emerging.

At last December’s solstice, the full moon was fully eclipsed by the sun, the darkest night in 400 years. Spiritually sensitive people have been affected by this darkness all winter. Perhaps your higher intuitive abilities and coping skills felt obliterated right at a time when you needed them to negotiate deep water. Perhaps buried needs, wounds or desires are surfacing. Now with the advent of spring, you, like Inanna, are returning to life and sprouting new growth

Your river of life is still white water, however, with rapids approaching. Call much upon Spirit as we move through these narrow straits, and pray praying to release all that impedes your flow, so you can move quickly downstream. Alone you may get caught in the pools or eddies of negative thinking. The mind tries very hard to save you when it feels the chaos of change, but is incapable of guiding you where you’ve not gone before. Release the mind and let your intuitive nature guide you,

Human nature has never been here before, and new possibilities are being exposed by the hard work of you Light Workers, so it's harder to read your future. Don’t expect your miracles all at once, but know they will come in the flows of the next three months. Call upon your authentic Nature to show up in this incarnation, which becomes more possible as we near the summer solstice.

Let yourself be cooked in the cauldron of this time. Allow yourself to be burned in the fire of your transformation and become the phoenix rising from the ashes of your former personality, capable of carrying a higher vibration of your Soul into your life. Negative thinking has become a luxury you cannot afford and must be seen for what it is, a coping mechanism to help you cope with an incomprehensible situation in your childhood, a child’s way to adapt to avoid more hurt.

How do you stop the negativity? Remove yourself from your mind. Meditate, chant, yell, sing, dance, do yoga, or drown out your mind with repetitive statements or mantras. All the great spiritual paths center on these practices, for true growth comes from the emotional body releasing the past and the spiritual body opening to a bigger reality. Many of you, under heavy stress, revert to old childish ways of leaving your body and hiding behind your intellect. Your mind runs constantly, but without the guidance system the Creator put in your emotions, or the intuitive understanding ever present when you are open to your spirit.

If the changes seem too fast, ask your personal guides and angels (always specify “those of the highest Light, in alignment with Divine Will and Purpose only”) to slow it down a bit, and adjust the events of your life to a pace that allows you to learn your lessons with more ease and comfort. You might also ask to be aligned with the highest vibrations in your Being, with your Higher Self, with your Soul’s purpose and with Source.

This prayer can create wonderful feelings of being a part of the One Being, of floating in universal love, if you accompany it with lots of deep belly breathing and full awareness. Changes are easiest when you are grounded, fully breathed into your body, focusing on each moment and only that present moment, and open to Divine Intervention. This allows your physical body to be a vessel for your spirit while your “gut”, your emotional body center, lets you know what you want and need.

Your world moves ever faster with the burst of unlimited knowledge and resources through the Internet, which practically makes the public library resident in your home (without the card catalog). It can be disconcerting to have abundant answers at your fingertips without abundant time to access them. From where would you borrow the hours for adding email, web surfing, and building web sites to an already busy life? These resources make it possible to pursue your dreams more fully and can enrich life, but one must daily stop seeking and enjoy the “now” of living.

With so many demanding options, one must learn to choose carefully which receive your energy. Let your question every hour be: “What is the most important use of my time right now?” And your prayer “God/Goddess, guide me to do that which is most essential and serves the highest good right now, and easily release all that is unnecessary or not helpful”. Where you were able to implement perhaps 60 or 70 % of all your great ideas before, you may only get around to 20 or 30% now.

Goddess instilled the full range of emotions in your body for many purposes, including for the feedback emotions give to guide you in your process of evolution. If you don’t allow the lows (hurt, anger, sadness, grief, pain), you won’t have access to your highs (ecstasy, bliss, happiness, joy, and passion). Understand, you are an “innocent” releasing what was not your fault from a family acting out their unhealed places, passed on to them by other innocents twisted by lack of knowledgeable caretakers.

Give up the shame and self-guilt and blame for having these outdated coping mechanisms and offer them, and these useless feelings, into the cauldron, asking they be removed. Invite Goddess to recreate you in Her Likeness, with full self-love and unconditional acceptance of yourself. Forgive yourself for your apparent sins, which were simply mistakes covered with self-criticism. You wouldn’t be doing what you’re doing if you didn’t want to tackle new challenges, so don’t expect to be an expert in new waters.

We are with you, more beings of amazing Light than you could know, to help guide you on out the other end of these rapids and into calmer waters where you may rest and enjoy the flow. Blessings to you and yours. Namaste.
