Awaken & Create!

Full Moon in Taurus & 11:11:11

 Manifesting Divine Spirit

I know as many of you, at the Lightworkers are here and awakening. As the Hopi Elders have said: "We are the Ones we have been waiting for." We have everything we need to change our lives, ourselves, our world. Many people are awakening,  realizing that there is more to life than this lovely Earth school. Many are recognizing patterns,  addiction to the past and have an increasing desire  for greater joy, peace and joy in their lives and in the world.

Hearing the small whispers of our inner voice... all of us, slowly and sometimes quickly...are being guided to step into our magnificent power of choice. The power to CHOOSE love over hate, the power to CHOOSE self-acceptance over self-criticism and the power to allow our mind, body and spirit to pursue our deep soul-calling dreams AND our greatest healing.. Each of us creating the change we wish to see in our lives and inevitably or world. For as each of us releases the past and accepts our ability to choose we change our families, our partnerships, our schools, our education and dare I say...our governments and businesses as well.

Historically many seeking change have sacrificed their lives, martyred themselves for the greater good. It is my belief that this gateway to spiritual consciousness for the world begins with US. As givers, lovers of life, teachers, nurses, CEOs, writers, police officers and consciously evolving human beings we may often ignore our own needs. In this new spiritual era let us release the archetype of the martyr. As we step into this gateway now, we need to commit to our healing, our self-acceptance and own our power to choose and create. We are truly willing participants in this journey called LIFE.

Allow this 11:11:11 gateway to help you WALK your TALK. As you give others compassion, give yourself as such. As we accept and love ourselves, we will have an easier time of accepting and loving others.

1. Take quiet time and allow yourself to BE. Do not fill your mind with what must be done. Know that when you give yourself some time in the void... creativity is soon to follow!

2. Meditate deeply on what you wish to leave behind when you pass. 

3. What is the spiritual imprint you will leave behind? What values and vision do you want to live and breathe in your community?

4. If you are already on your path rejoice and re-commit to your true calling today! If you've been hiding, afraid to name, speak or voice your particular way to bless the world...STEP UP! Start that novel, direct that play, that new business or dare to travel. Make your dreams come true NOW.

5. Promise yourself, commit to something that is important to you and close your eyes and visualize every detail, nuance and possibility. Believe and you will perceive this reality as opportunities that you achieve.

6. Write down, draw or otherwise visualize what you are bringing in during this Full Moon in Taurus & 11:11:11 gateway. Examples: Divine Order, Peace, Joyful Transformation, Abundance, Sacred Service, Harmonious partnership, Right Action, Soul-centered Business, Divine Awareness.

7. Affirm that this is so and know that it is. Let your deep intuitive voice carry you thru earthly doubts and woes. Commit to your highest most beautiful truth about yourself, your loved ones, your dreams & aspirations and world you wish to see and experience NOW.

Looking back on this year of change, transformation, community, integrity and SO much love I am so BLESSED. I am overwhelmed by the dreams that have come true, the beautiful, honest clients and friends that I have met and am working with. As I look deeply and understand that I am living my soul's calling I also re-commit to evolving my offerings and my programs so that they can best support my amazing clients and myself. I am committed to shining my light & holding space so that others may SHINE.

Keep shining!

Smiles, Spirit y mucho amor!

Spiritual Gateway & What it Means For Us  

All over the world people are gathering today on 11:11:11, from innovative wellness centers in Williamsburg, NYC, cozy suburban backyards to ancient mystical sites such as Peru and Egypt... the aim is the same: ushering in and entering thru a Spiritual Gateway of conscious evolution.

Using music, movement, sound, meditation and visualization those gathered will offer collective intentions to seed the world with peace, harmony, and compassion for Earth's inhabitants as well as for future generations yet to come to earth.

  

11.11.11, is the eleventh time since January 1st 2001 (1.1.1) that a date representing a month, day or year, repeats itself on our calendar. The numbers repeat three times, the date creates a visual marker not only on the calendars and watches but also in human consciousness. This pattern speaks to our deepest unconscious. This rare occurrence will not occur for one hundred years and four generations will be born, live and will die within that time span.

The Meaning of the Numbers 11.11.11

There is a metaphysical aspect in the vibration of numbers and each of the sequence of repetitive dates on the calendar (1.1.1, 2.2.2, 3.3.3 through 12.12.12) hold a unique meaning and power based on symbolic numerological interpretations. 

The number 1 symbolizes the Great Initiator, the Creator-God, the masculine energy manifesting itself in the world, spawning new beginnings. When that number 1 resonates and repeats itself, it manifests as an 11 which is a "Master Vibration Number" that represents "The Spiritual Messenger." It is the messenger that brings inspiration and revelation from a higher plane. This spiritual vibration is the foundation of compassionate love on a global scale.

Its power is intensified this year because on November 11, 2011 (11.11.11) the number resonates three times as a "Master Triune Number." An elevated frequency master triune number has the ability, through its nature, to open an expansive awareness in each of us. As the collective consciousness of individuals becomes awakened and aware, the invisible energy behind the visible speaks to our deep souls. These stirrings open a portal causing a profound remembering that represents the Divine Spirit awakening in each of us. In one way or another we are answering that calling on different levels and responding.

How are you answering this call?

If you are interested in exploring your calling and releasing patterns that no longer serve you, consider working with me and thru our work together you will

* Connect to your calling & intuition

May this gateway herald a time of positive change for you!

Día de los Muertos: Keeping Mexican traditions alive in NYC

The belief in the circle of life and death is alive and well in Mexican culture. Death is not to be feared as spirits of the departed are welcomed, honored and remembered.

Halloween marks the beginning of the fiesta of what we refer to in the United States as the Day of the Dead - El dia de los Muertos.Most often referred to as the Day of the Dead, it is actually a fiesta that lasts several days. Los Dias de los Muertos (the Days of the Dead) extends for three days, October 31 - November 2.

The festivities include lively mariachi music, colorful art, sugar skulls, marigolds, humorous costumes, decorating of gravesites and the building of altars. During these days people celebrate the lives and the memories of those who have crossed to the other side. It is a time when the departed souls are allowed to come back to the world for a visit. Preparations are full of excitement and merrymaking.

On October 31 (our Halloween) families begin preparing the food, decorations and the altar (ofrenda) that will be used during the festivities. November 1 (All Saints' Day-Roman Catholic Church’s day for Saints) is the day that the angelitos (spirits of the dead children) arrive. November 2 (All Souls' Day-Roman Catholic Church remembers the departed) is the day for the spirits of the adults arrival.

The spiritual practice of celebrating dead ancestors has been observed by indigenous civilizations perhaps for as long as 2,500–3,000 years. Even in the pre-Hispanic era, it was common to keep skulls as trophies, objects of power and wisdom and display them during the rituals to symbolize death and rebirth. Particularly in Mexico it is traced back to the Aztec calendar and it was celebrated during an entire month. The celebrations were dedicated to the “Lady of the Dead.”

In Guatemala the celebration is marked by creating and flying giant kites as well as visiting cemeteries.

In Ecuador, the Day of the Dead is observed by most of the people but it is especially significant to the indigenous Kichwa people. The families gather atthe community cemetery with offerings of food and partake of native ceremonial foods like colada morada,a spiced fruit stew that includes blackberries and purple maize and guagua de pan, a bread shaped like a swaddled infant with guava filling.

In Brazil, this public holiday of Finados ( the Deceased) is celebrated on November 2. Families go to church and cemeteries with flowers, candles and prayers.

Rituals, celebrations and prayers for the departed are also found throughout the world in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Whether it’s a tradition you embrace or are simply curious about exploring, here are some interesting happenings in NYC that may open you up to a whole new way of seeing things...
