Red, with Totem the goat

It’s been such a difficult time for so many people that the challenges of 2012 for many have been looking like a holiday! My goodness what a difficult eclipse passage! Ouch.

May was so challenging on so many levels that I wasn’t able to think, let alone write. Being a sensitive little antennae, I could feel the collective grief and struggle. The weight was oppressive. There has been so much death and loss and grief as both animal and human souls let go and go elsewhere. So Andrew and I and Tamsin want to extend condolences to all those struggling with loss or illness, or illness of loved ones, and just send you our greatest love. Know you are not alone. My heart goes out to those who have had loss after loss after loss.

In the big picture, know this is all as it is meant to be. And it is okay. Be gentle with yourselves.

Disease seems rife, and also emotional heartache. People are feeling the pinch financially, and others are simply exhausted. My favourite phrase “stripped to the core of our authentic selves” has never been more apt. On some days I felt completely shredded. Others I felt like I was imploding. And I really got the manifesting boomerang. Talk about quick show ups of thoughts — both good and bad. Don’t “worry”. It shows up! It is truly time for thought mastery. Focus on what you want.

And right now — crunchy energies abound as we go through the dark, choppy seas of our portal of light this solstice weekend. Yes, it is a portal of light — and after the super moon, things will get better.

Lots of transition, and change. People are turning inward and many wonder if it will ever get better. Some people are feeling disenchanted.

But the difference about 2013 is there is hope and new frequencies dazzling in their brightness. More about that below.

Here at home we haven’t been untouched, and our beautiful senior cat Red passed, after insisting that I bring more cats into our family to keep his sister Lilac company. We rescued their entire family from living in cages in filthy conditions nearly two decades ago. So she isn’t used to being an only cat.

What followed was a few weeks of pound rescue where we saved more than 50 animals from death row, from wolfhounds to baby kittens too young to be away from their mothers. All have settled into their new homes in Perth, New Zealand, Queensland, NSW, Melbourne and the ACT. Yes, New Zealand.

It took an enormous amount of effort and I’m grateful to those people who helped and took in new family members. And so are all those animals. Huge, huge thank you. I hope others will continue the work of saving precious lives. Because as I keep saying – all life is precious. The world is richer for an animal whose life has been saved.

Andrew was away when Red started his transition. But as they were always close, Red waited, and slipped from this world with Andrew holding space for him. Lilac was comforted by the fire that night so very sweetly by one of the new rescue cats whom Tamsin called Benedict after the actor who plays Sherlock Holmes. Last night, Lilac had the two kittens we kept seek her out for company and comfort on my lap. Both of these small cat people were instrumental to groups of cats being rescued, calling loudly for help. Both are motherless. So Red was right in asking me to step up and help another round of animals in need for the healing it represented on many levels – for Lilac, and for the ones whose lives were saved.

And the plus side is that Lilac has begun to act more kitten-ish — she is right now sitting on my shoulder purring loudly. She never used to sit on shoulders, until one of the kittens did it!

Transition is not just about death. Many people are changing and feeling the call to do something different. This has been welling up for a long time. But for many it has reached crisis point. Their soul is yearning for change.

And now is the time for it.

We have so many planetary forces acting upon us, with major solar flares for over two weeks in May, and the resultant dizziness and high emotion, fatigue and other health challenges. I was hit by a wave of light headedness in the local supermarket the other day, so much so I thought I was going to faint! I later learned there had been an earthquake in Uluru.

For the entire eclipse season in May, I felt the earth very unstable. The house didn’t feel stable, and I was convinced the foundations would crumble at any moment. Not a comfortable feeling when one lives in an ancient cottage in need of renovation. The earth felt not only hollow but sideways. It was tilting and indeed, it appears the poles are shifting more quickly now.

The earth changes are in full force. And nature is acting confused. My spring plants are flowering — a bit, in the opposite season. But the animals and the fae both tell me that stillness is vital, and to trust. And I think that that advice is universal. Further it is definitely a time to raise our frequency with lots of rest, good organic food, and self-nourishment. Here in the southern hemisphere, it is time for hot chocolate and warm fires, good movies and books, and doing whatever creative thing you might be into.

You might enjoy our films Finding Joy, (still some people’s favourite feature film) or 7 Days with 7 Dogs. You might like to read Secret Animal Business, which has lots of animal stories in it, and peoole have blamed me for their staying up way too late because they can’t put it down!

I know people are grieving and hurting, but it doesn’t, sadly, serve us.   I mean, of course we grieve, but the souls who have left, always want us to celebrate their life.  They know the weight of our grief keeps them bound.  So” keen” in the ancient Celtic tradition, and empty your selves of loss ,and  remember the good times.  What serves the collective is inner peace and gentleness.  Honouring the dead.  And letting go. This can be helped through meditation, forgiveness and staying in the moment.

The moments are the magic.

We are manifesting very quickly, also. So watch your thoughts. Especially the quiet ones. You might make affirmations for something, but your heart is sending messages out for something else – and that is what will show up.

We’ve got tons of astrology applying pressure to us right now. The first thing that’s hurtling towards us is the solstice, and it is definitely something to pay attention to this year. A gorgeous cat client recently showed me an image of a boat sailing through choppy dark waters through a portal.

I don’t know where the portal went. But it seemed to be high ground — a beautiful beach. More love. Definitely heading to more light and and calmer waters. But we had to sit tight to go through.

It seems like the earth is getting ready for a huge activation, but I don’t know if that will be on solstice, or perhaps the massive super moon on June 23.

And then of course we have Mercury going retrograde on June 26. And the energy of that is already affecting us.

It’s all full on.

Here’s a thought.  If we were spiritually conceived or born on solstice 2012, it might take nine months or more for ourselves to grow into who we are becoming.  For me, this solstice marks a turning point.  I see a lot of Jupiter in the charts and this means expansion of good things.

In shamanism, we talk about medicine. Not pills. Not potions. But the medicine held within. And when life gets too much and you are dis-spiirited, it is time to use the medicine we were born with – dance, song, self expression.

Laugh. We are changing. Let go and flow through the portal. Perhaps where you are going will be exciting. The world is rapidly changing and we need to focus on manifesting a better one. So give to yourself, and give to others. When we are kind to ourselves and others, kindness grows.

It’s so important to remember that we are all going through this time together. When we give love and support to others, it helps them get through. When we give love to ourselves in the form of rest, good food, chocolate and a good laugh, then we are more able to help others. And the circle of connection continues to grow as we travel the new pathways as one.

Hi everyone,

My next Divine Love Healing Circle will be held this solstice, Friday night, June 21, 2013, at approximately 9pm Sydney time.

Here is how it works.

If you would like one or more animals included in this particular Divine Love Healing Circle, leave a comment on this blog post giving the animal’s name and breed.  On the the above date, I will conduct  a Divine Love Healing Circle, where I send Divine Love and Deep Forgiveness to the animals listed here, along with the ones who are in my care.

To be clear, I don’t send healing. I send Divine Love and Deep Forgiveness, which is like a blessing for the Highest Good.  That is because I believe it is not up to us to send healing, especially when there is no permission from the person to whom that healing is directed.  Every being has their own soul journey.  By sending Divine Love and Deep Forgiveness, all human ego is out of the way and only pure Divine energy is invoked.

Again, if you want to register your animal for this healing circle, leave a comment below on this bog post (or click the Leave a Comment link above).  Note that comments are moderated on my blog, so your comment will not appear instantly.

Note that I am doing this as a service to you and your animals. If you would like to make a small contribution towards this service, it would be greatly appreciated by me and the animals.  

Oh, if you experience a change that you can attribute to the healing circle, please feel free to leave that as a comment here as well. Also, it is worth checking back on this page once the Circle is done, as I sometimes leave comments and suggestions.  So have a look.

Warm blessings,

Billie

I do hope you will join me on a journey into the heart of animal spirituality, and bloom into the person you can be.

*Offer ends 11:59 pm (Sydney time), Wednesday 8 May 2013.

The April Libran Full Moon was extremely powerful and swept away many loved ones around the planet, including two of our own ponies.  Neither had been sick.  Magick, glossy and loving as ever,  chose the weekend I was away to go.  She leaves behind her mother, Cocoa.  The two were always together, and Cocoa, instead of grieving, was also at peace.   This, at least, was something to ease my heart.

Shetland Samantha, although 35, looked glowing. But she just decided that the Full Moon would take her. Both had quick and easy, peaceful transitions. I hate that, but I love that. You know what I mean. You couldn’t ask for a better way to go.  Both assured me they were happy and had other work to do now. But the sudden unexpected leavings left us all reeling, and that spiralled into a kind of numb depression because the pace here at our sanctuary was relentless at that time,  and there was no space  to grieve. We were exhausted.

I read later that many sensitives sunk into an array of depressions for whatever reason. Lots of ascension symptoms from the flu to digestive troubles , and the impossibility of making decisions also were reported.   There was definitely an air of “I don’t know what to do” around at a time when Aries was demanding action.  The energies seemed peaceful out in nature, but the human world was so, so  challenging.  This hit a crisis point for us in seeing (again) first hand the shocking reality of the animal product industry. The carcinogenic toxic cocktails used on and in the animals, the rough handling and rough conversations between people who really don’t see these beings as anything but commodities.  Life as a sensitive human had just got worse as 3-D smacked into us head on. The nightmare that is a farm animal’s reality (READ: sensitive, intelligent, sweet, innocent, sentient, family-loving beings) is a crime that we humans pay for daily with a world stuck in a paradigm of fear and violence. While they suffer, we suffer.

It has to change now.

On top of that, I received an email alert from a channeller I enjoy following who suggested grounding with “animal protein” as a way to deal with the intensity of these energies.  This was the most unenlightened advice I had ever heard. There are so many other ways to ground and deal with energies that will raise your vibration (and hence ascension) at the same time.   Hug a tree, lie on Mother Earth, dance,  dance barefoot, eat root vegetables, eat cocoa…anything but animal protein.

From dairy ice cream to mince, if you eat animal products, you ingest loss, grief, anxiety, terror, fear, adrenalin, toxins and carcinogens. It’s an unhealthy cocktail for humans, the planet, and definitely for the animals. Animal protein is also energetically dense (I talk about the energy of meat in this YouTube clip from A New Era for Animals). If you want to reach the high frequency of a magical life of grace, don’t touch it. And definitely don’t give your power away to so-called gurus or channelled people from the stars who would suggest and therefore condone such barbaric behaviour towards the other species who share this planet with us. Be discerning. Now is the time people are showing their true colours. Who speaks true?

It was under this New Moon Energy that I simply gave up (or let go!).  I don’t like being down for long, (not healthy) and I know the animals are always at me to work at detachment.  We care for each other, we love each other.  They make an impact on our life in the most indelible way, and they always ask to celebrate their life when they are gone.   Not grieve.  (Not always easy!)

They need our love.  They need us to grow up as a species.  And it is with passion that I dedicate my life to this request.

Still a bit numb from the losses (Samantha had been with us for Tam’s entire life) , and feeling a bit stressed out by the lack of rain, and trying not to focus on that, we went to work with our script consultant  to feed our creative souls. That night, cuddled up in bed with kelpie Daisy licking my face, Andrew beside me keeping me warm and new rescue Ben snuggled at our feet, I realised I was content.   In the wee hours of the morning, the Fae arrived to tell me I had shifted upwards into another level.  With my spirit eyes I saw Light beaming out of my heart chakra.  Checking in, I felt even lighter.  Transparent!  How that will manifest is anyone’s guess.  But I have been told to “use your magic” .

The magic is important. It is not the magic of spells I am talking about.  It is the magic of the Divine.  It is the alchemy of change within to understand who we really are, and to come from that space of knowledge.

It was in the acceptance of what is, the letting go, that got me through the next door of the journey.  No matter what life is throwing at you, if you can just accept it, instead of feeling distress or frustration; if you can let go, instead of hanging on, then the river of Divine guidance can flow through you, and take you where you need to be, offering grace and synchronicity.  It’s being mindful and aware  of the Light dancing in the Shadows.

After the washing away of the old , the new energies are still like wading through water. The new world is a little confusing. There is still this old world mentality and need for money for survival.  And this is collapsing, making a lot of people even more scared and edgy. There is that feeling of impending eruption, thanks to all the solar flares, played out in Boston and in Korea, and earthquakes everywhere, and closer to home with bad tempers and, for example, doggy aggression.

The new way of being calls for  new training of the S-elf.  It’s lifting the blindfold to see the Light. You have to intend that whatever you need will be there.  You have to play the high vibration game through gratitude and acceptance of what is, while creating the new tomorrows with the imaginative spark of a conscious creator.  The trick to any magical life is doing what you really love. Those self-nurturing things that do bring you contentment in the moments and prove to the Universe that you love your S-elf. Love is the key that opens the door.

So what I am saying is that as we go deeper and deeper into this new and unformed landscape, as we hit intense solar flares, feel giddy and light-headed and irritable because we are so connected to Mother Earth and Grandfather Sun, as we move through an eclipse on April 25, and whatever cosmic roller coaster that creates, we have to come back to the only real rudder in our Earthly boat — the heart.

Love truly, is all.

Samhain

Rushing past the Full Moon Eclipse, we fall headlong into Beltane in the Northern Hemisphere and Samhain in the Southern Hemisphere. These are special times of the year when the veil is thin. (Read even thinner than it is now)  In the south, the dead will walk.  In the north, the lovers will love.  At home we always celebrate by setting an extra place at the table and seeing who shows up. Most often it is my Dad, who never visited us in this particular home. He never saw it. So now he makes an annual visit from the Spirit World.  It is also a time for Divination and Oracles and it’ll be interesting to see what they will come up with in this new climate. I always make a tradition of pumpkin soup, homemade bread and cake, apple cider and spiced hot cocoa (recipe in our Loving Kindness Chocolate Indulgence ebook).  it is also a time to share some of that cake with the Fae, and give back to Mother Earth for all she gives us.

While the energetic door is open for three days, I tend to think of my main feast and divination day as the day of April 30, so I can start the Winter fresh on May  1. But truly, it is a feeling, more than a date.  Sense it.

So the energies are quite funny as we go from 3-D to 5-D and back again.  People are filled with hope and promise and scared it won’t happen; challenged to be at peace in a dissolving landscape, and need to come up with creative ways of being new in the world and on the world.  We have to shift our perspective and see ourselves as the magical Light we really are; and free ourselves of the imaginary chains of limitation that bind us.   We  just have to keep imagining in a better world with our positive thoughts and dreams of  peace and plenty for all.  Despite the action of Aries, we need to find time to be still, to catch our breath, to breathe.   We also have to realise that the current cosmic push will give us added oomph to realising our dreams.  So focus on what you really want.   And finally, perhaps just let go, and allow the building that is the 5-D, to simply open its doors.

Marley – April 2013

As I write, there are currently 37 anxious, worried, sweet, sweet dogs in Blacktown Pounds facing the death sentence. No fault of their own. There are huskies, sweet faced kelpies, lots of bull breeds — they are young and innocent, and begging us all to help them. They have till Thursday (April 11, 2013).  Please contact Pound Rounds on Facebook. Please donate. Please offer to foster. Please adopt. Stretch!

There are also 15 in Hawkesbury, Sydney on that sickening list to be murdered unless we intervene. Or at least support the rescue groups who can and do. There are some desperate cats in Renbury including a gorgeous little magickal black cat I would take in a heartbeat if I didn’t already have so many.

Working in that area are Pound Rounds, Big Dog Rescue, Working Dog Rescue, Mini Paws Animal Rescue, and lots of others.  Please look them up and support them financially.  With funds they can kennel dogs  until a home can be found.

The perfect home always turns up. We rescued 27 animals out of two pounds a couple of weeks ago (with some wonderful help), and all those animals have now found forever homes. We even managed to rehome families of cats together, so they didn’t have to suffer more after the trauma they had already been through.

We stretched, we stepped up, and so can you! Work with the rescue groups. Or just adopt straight from the shelter. Get them to safety, whatever it takes.

We have a full house with seven dogs and a multitude of cats, and I just want to say that some animals, like Ben the dog, my two new black cats, and Comet the kitten, are a soul call with a huge heart connection. The rest chose us, and I adore them! But others like Marley the staffy are the animals we take into our home because you know it is the right thing to do. And these are the ones you grow to love and the journey is sweet, deep, meaningful and life enriching. Our beloved Dusty was one of these.  Having had a really abusive life and being older, I knew he had to spend time healing here with us.  We took him sight unseen.

I’ve done that with many animals.

Marley was a beaten up looking staffy, riddled with fleas, a rough coat, dermatitis, and other health issues (that’s him in the photo, looking pretty happy to be playing with a chew toy). When he first arrived, his face was frozen into a permanent grin in a desperate effort to find someone to love him. He was permanently “on”. He knew being cute and friendly would win him a home.

Except it didn’t.

I saved him with two minutes to spare.

My experience is that here in 2013, the dogs and cats in pounds are extra-ordinary. They are sweet, funny, mystical, deep, deserving, friendly, and super affectionate. So many of them are souls returned. Many of them are our beloved soul friends in animal form, come back to us to help us in this last phase of our healing. They are here to help us grow our wings, and burst open our heart chakras.

Sure there has been an adjustment going on at home.  We live in a tiny cottage and have had to keep the cats in quarantine as they came from the pound sneezing with cat flu, and away from new dogs who have been starving and don’t know the rules yet. There is no dog or cat fenced area right now. No kennels. We just have an ordinary, tiny old weatherboard cottage.

Our two original senior cats both came down with cat flu, and we’ve had lots of patient re-educating to do with Marley. But he and Ben are quickly responding to love and care, and aleady Marley’s coat is soft and he smells good – just through diet.

(I treated cat flu with Young Living oils in the litter trays and in the diffuser and used HAMPL Infection Clear and Fulhealth Silver Colloid as well .)

It has been huge and at a time when we also had the Great Gelding of 2013, lost two deeply loved ponies who the Full Moon just swept away, saved a sheep from flystrike (Young Living Thieves Household Cleaner and scissors) and had to put on a happy (relaxed?) face for a film crew that was not my own.

So what I’m saying is that you can stretch even if it doesn’t feel like the “right time”. And if you do , you will be rewarded.  Please help the animals in need.  That is truly what we are here to do now.  Show your humanity!

This is how we build our new world – the one we can be proud of. We just don’t let the authorities kill precious souls, leaving earthbound ghosts, cries in the ethers, and pain in our hearts.

Working together in community, with heart and desire, we can make a huge difference.

Just keep that in mind right now.

April is all about what you focus on and using the planetary energy to give projects, careers and relationships a big push. It is time to speak our truth and change the old masculine into the kind of caring, beautiful world we all really want to live in. How you contribute to that is something your heart and soul will tell you. Follow the nudges and say yes. Act immediately.

This month and New (Dark) Moon has no time for those who twiddle their thumbs. It’s all about movement, progression of consciousness – and things are happening very quickly for people. People are moving to new and perfect places, adopting new and beautiful furry family members, finding new directions, finding new tribe and community and finding love. It’s all about action.

It’s intense, but it can be graceful and full of synchronicity.

It feels incredibly intense to me, like a galloping wild horse you have no control over. Hang on for the ride.

The only ‘control” we do have, is where our thoughts are. So watch them. Keep stretching for gratitude.

It is a challenge.

It is especially a challenge when you are out doing big work. We don’t just have one horse to contend with. We have a team of runaway horses, the carriage is bumping along the dirt road, and it feels like any minute we are about to take off into the sky and fly.

I’m not sure when it quiets down. April, May, June and July are meant to be good months for achieving things. But it is also a time to be incredibly mindful. We are about to enter a time of eclipses and the end of this month is a biggy.

We have to keep reminding ourselves that our Higher Selves are speaking a language to us – through the heart. And this is what we have to trust. And act on.

April — action month. Don’t try and slow or control the wild horses. Trust they will lead you to where you are supposed to go.

If you found the last quarter difficult energetically, you are not alone. All old core issues were up showing us how NOT to create. And the importance of healing ourselves. Time to see your core wounds clearly and let them go! After Mercury in Retrograde, heaps of planets putting the pressure on us, huge solar flares stirring the pot, I finally felt the shift of new breeze through on Sunday night. Phew. We have now suddenly arrived at the day when the energetic door on the old world closes, and from here it is up to all of us to learn to dance in the new world by understanding that We are All DIVINE.

Another big pointer to the change in the world is the resignation of the Pope, and significance of the new Pope to people like us.  Pope Francis, naming himself after the Patron Saint of Animals and actually mentioning the protection of the environment.  I will be watching what unfolds here with great interest.

The last three months saw the death of so many animals who chose this time to go.There were many animal suicides.  I asked them about this. Their souls, it seems, wanted to leave before the new energies came in.  Some will return in new bodies.  Others have other work to do, and other adventures, their work here done. There were a lot of humans who left also. There are still so many slumbering souls and an ocean of the angry wounded humans to navigate, but don’t let them pull you into their sea of coarse vibration. Fly higher. If you expand your field with love and acceptance, sending them blessings and love, they won’t be able to hurt you because they are not of the world of your making. To be awake is really about taking 100 percent responsibility for the making of our worlds. Make one that you love!!

This is now the time of the coming together of tribes, of higher frequency living, of dreams finally made manifest. But you can’t sit by and just expect everything to happen. We are in a new time with a new way of being and dreaming and it requires using the gifts we have been given. The gift of discernment. The gift of listening to our higher selves through the heart intuition. The gift of mental and emotional mastery. And the gift of the Anam Cara – soul friends who are your tribe, who help you fly higher when life feels bleak. Most importantly — the gift of intention.  It’s time to remember all our potential!  Enjoy — we have a big time coming up ahead of us energetically until the solstice.  Surf the waves!!! Wheeee!!!!

February 13, 2013

Welcome to 2013!!! The changes are happening so quickly that I have written this blog post three times already! It’s exciting!  We’re living in a time when anything could happen!

How was your December solstice?  Was the big three days what you expected it to be?  I’ve heard there were a lot of angry and disappointed people out there, which immediately appealed to my sense of cheeky and I started writing a comedy piece about it! No, we didn’t all disappear and wake up in Utopia. 2012 was never about a date. It was and is about a Phenomenon.  This Phenomenon is about the human species growing up – not rushing off to trash another dimension, when we still haven’t learned to clean up after ourselves and take care of all of life. It’s a process. It’s birth. And we are changing. And the world is changing.

Just this week I have seen some amazing miracles around people opening their hearts and changing their perspectives. And I have also seen core, core, core issues brought up to the surface for healing and release. Phew!!! Could it be the end of the onion-like layers we have to shed in this exciting year of new beginnings?  Once we break through the core beliefs that come from all our hurts, once we shed our old skins and armour, once we shift our perspective, we can truly become free.

I slept through 12/12/12 and by the time 21/12/12 came, I was so exhausted that all I wanted to do was be still and quiet.  We did do ceremony as a family and put aside a lot of time to do spiritual work, but my exhaustion didn’t really abate until Jupiter went direct on February 1 2013.  January was a blur – oh wait, I remember, fires, floods, snow, heatwave.  It was so ridiculous, it was almost funny.  But not really.  Fire and snow at the same time in Tasmania??  Wow.  Big lesson from the nature spirits to be in balance.  I asked them what they needed, and they need all of us to be in balance. (and you know, to be aware of them and be polite  and stuff).

Let’s face it, they are right! How many of us live a balanced life? Quite frankly, a balanced life sounds like a holiday – time for family and play and self-nurturing, honouring nature and the sacred and living in gratitude instead of fear. That’s just the start of a list which could be addressed if humans were grown up already.

During the fire bit, we had one of those “catastrophe” warnings which immediately sends you into fear.  But could I live with myself happily if I packed up and left the hundreds of souls in our care to fend for themselves?  No.  So I decided there would be only safety in my world and did the necessary spiritual work as well as communing with the world around me, listening to their response and preparing physically as best we could, moving horses into the eaten out paddock around the house, finding wire clippers to cut fences and feeling exceptionally  vulnerable.  Our sense though, was that we would be fine.   I remembered that saying from author Ken Carey,  that this was the time that people would die in fear or live in faith.  And we made the decision to live in faith and create safety with our minds, hearts, power centres, and  Otherworld friends.  This is something everybody can do.    The wind whispered we would be okay.  And shifted when the fire was about 12ks away.  Phew!  It was a powerful lesson in choosing.

In 2013 the promised shifts and changes have occurred, and I’m guessing everyone reading this can feel them. While it is easy to say that we are all One, and understand we all share a spark of the Divine, there are people on this planet that just seem to come from another time and space. More and more I’m going, “What?”, shaking my head in amazement at a species I feel less and less and less a part of. Their behaviour and world seems incredibly dense, harsh and draconian. We can cite their attitudes towards animals and the earth for starters, and you all know what I mean. The divide between the asleep and the awake is enormous! But I still have hope that this will see rapid change this year. I still have hope that all the world will awaken into freedom and peace – and evolution. I have hope for the human species, because of the human potential for love, compassion, kindness and possibility.  I see such a different world for us all.

But for now, I really can’t listen to the radio, watch TV,read magazines or newspapers,  look at the cows and sheep in paddocks, or go shopping in the supermarket. It is just too difficult and so very painful, and  sometimes I wonder if it will change, or if this is the splitting of the worlds that Dolores Cannon speaks of in This Sacred Earth. If so, where do we shop? Or do we all just grow our own? Personally, just give me the quiet health food and book stores and I’m happy.

Last weekend we have  had New Moon energy, with the beginning of the Chinese Year of the Water Snake (for me, this is about shedding old stuff, old skins, old stories, old baggage) coupled with intense solar flare activity and an asteroid hurtling towards us – (that will miss us.) People are reporting the now familiar light-headedness, dizziness, irritability and headaches that come with this. And there have been heaps of earthquakes which we all do tap into, because we and Mother Earth are related.  The trick is to roll with it and ground. Anchor your energy deep into Mother Earth and really form a relationship with her. We don’t call her Mother Earth for nothing, and now we are in a time when we have to learn to live with her instead of on her.

So last weekend felt exciting, as if we could finally drop old clothes and  put on new ones that completely reflected who we are.  2013 is  our birth year.   Spiritually the number 13 is rich in meaning.  Upheavals, karma, creativity, feminine, manifestation, and new beginnings are some of the things associated with this number.  And I’m assured the upheavals are for our ultimate best, even though it might not feel like it at the time.  It just all feels like an exciting time if we know how to navigate it and fly above the collapsing old world muck.

We are in a new landscape now and there was a point in January where I felt like I fell through a tear in the veil. And now that portal is open and there is heaps of forward movement on all levels. Lots of people are moving and changing jobs and re-aligning with their higher selves. Their destiny. It is all about authenticity, and our core essence, and really understanding what that means for our happiness and our ability to manifest our lives the way we really want and better.  I think this is going to get very exciting.  But for now, just ask yourself the question, does this make me feel light and excited or heavy and closed down??  Just don’t take the old anymore. It’s time for new, and light and happy.  The fifth dimension is also about light and happy.

I’ve chucked out so much stuff that was pre-2013.  That was my old human life filled with limitations and fear and hurts and pain. From now on, life is about magic and miracles, fun and laughter !  That’s my decision.   I noticed there were a few of us in January who just went :”sod it, I’m so over my old story”, and we went for spiritual growth more gung ho than ever.

My sense is that this current wave of settling into the new landscape will continue till the Equinox in March. Then there will be another step up in the stairway, and life will continue to get better, and better. Last year there were some talking about the pole shift coming in March, and the related  ”three days of darkness”, but as I keep saying, nobody seems to know when or if this will happen.  So it is about being aware and informed and ready for anything.  Make sure you have extra food for your animal beloveds as well as yourself, just in case the electricity goes down for whatever reason.  We are living in a time of uncertainty with unpredictable weather and change being the only norm.  It is a different world, and if you can see it with excitement  and curiousity rather than fear, you will ride this transition time with ease.  It’s up to you.  Personally I’m seeing this as a great year!!

Uranus and Pluto are in a potent mix of planets for this year ushering in revolution and evolution.  I’m told it won’t be as intense as last year, but  I’m all for the excitement of opening up Facebook in the morning and finding it filled with good news stories!  Bring it on.

It is all about manifesting, and manifesting is about imprinting our intent on the misty plains of  the unmade, so focus on all the good news already happening, and  that all humans, underneath it all. have the capacity to be good hearted and open to kindness to each other, the animals and the planet.

Keep in gratitude and self nurturing, find the excitement in life, be curious and kind, and be prepared to keep seeing things a little differently.  (or a lot!)  Our perception of life must change as we change.  Rise above the negativity and don’t let it pull you off course. The vibration of happiness is what our Mother craves, and so do our animal friends.  Have fun, and be happy!
