​Good morning Soul Tribe! Keep moving forward, even if it seems to be two steps forward, one step back. Rapid change is the new normal. It may seem exhausting at times, but it can also feel exhilarating when we embrace that change instead of resist. Focus on glorious new possibilities, surrender to the flow, and allow your new creations to effortlessly flow into your life. You are worthy. You are ready. Drop the fear, the doubt, the "what ifs", and become your new reality. You are infinitely fabulous and sooooo worth it! Love to all!💖

​Greetings Soul Tribe!  
As Spring and Winter continue their annual dance for dominance, we follow along with the freeze and the thaw, the wax the wane, the flow the ebb.  Weather at this time of year in Northeast Ohio definitely mimics events in our own lives.  The only difference is that Nature never worries, never hurries, never doubts that all is in divine order.  One day the warmth and sunshine invite courtship dances from all creatures great and small... the woodlands are full of the sweet sound of birdsong and the forests and meadows--even our own backyards-- are filled with the scurrying of animals emerging from their Winter slumber and intent on the busy-ness of life at this time of year.  In flower beds, fields, wetlands and parks, Spring bulbs and hardy foliage push their tenacious heads heavenward, seeking the light.  Even the trees are beginning to awaken from their slumber. All may pause for a moment when Winter winds, cold and snow rudely push their way back into having the upper hand, but the wheel of the year moves ever onward, unconcerned with the weather forecast and undeterred by the push and pull energy of the seasons.  Spring will eventually win this yearly competition, and all of Nature trusts fully in this wisdom.

Sometimes within our own lives, we fail to trust in the exquisite perfection of creation.  We forget that with every ebb, the flow will return.  With every freeze, there will be a thaw.  With every Winter, there will come an abundant Spring, full of newness and vibrant growth and possibility.  We also often fail to remember that WE are the creator goddesses and gods of our lives!  We alone hold the power to determine the course of the seasons of our lives and how dormant or abundant they will be.  Nature is our greatest teacher on this Earth walk.  Look to Gaia and notice that perfection in every snowflake, every blade of grass, every drop of rain, every flower bud, every leaf, every living creature that walks, flies or creeps upon the Earth. 

And let us not forget to include ourselves in that list of beautiful creatures full of exquisite perfection!  Loving ourselves exactly as we are is THE most important thing we will ever do and more important now than ever.  Dear Ones, we are at such a crucial, critical phase of creation!  We are almost there!  This is what we have worked lifetimes and eons for!  Dearest Old Souls, can you truly love and accept yourselves in this moment?  Can you trust and surrender to the flow all around you?  The Universe has your back and this lifetime, everything is different.  The energy has changed!  The Light quotient of the planet has changed!  Everything is shifting faster than we can keep track!  Old Souls, we have done it!  Can you give yourselves a pat on the back?  Can you congratulate yourselves?  Can you celebrate a long, arduous job fabulously done?  Can you finally find that peace and joy that has eluded you lifetime after lifetime?  Now is the time to relax completely into that space of love, peace, joy and abundance that you have always wanted.  Know that you are worthy. Know that you are amazing.  Know that you are divine.  Remember who you are beautiful ones and join the celebration!  Trust that the Spring is almost here, even on days when the Winter winds howl.  It is time to emerge, grow, and bloom in riotous profusion.  Let's join together in the Oneness and create the most beautiful garden Gaia has ever seen!

​Good morning Soul Tribe! Remember the vast, eternal being that you are. Send Love and Light to people and situations who are mired in dense, low vibrations. Refuse to come into resonance with their energy, further perpetuating the issues. Remember who you are. Vibrate higher. Sprinkle your divine essence like magical pixie dust wherever you go. We are the forerunners, the way showers. Let's go out and change the world! It's why you came. Happy Saturday beautiful Lightworkers!💖💖💖

​Good morning Soul Tribe! Even though the calendar says February, Nature says Spring! The wetlands are full of pre-nesting ducks, geese, red wing blackbirds, herons and other waterfowl, while the woodlands are full of cardinals, robins, blue jays, chickadees, titmouses, nuthatches and other beautiful song birds who are putting on a Spring symphony. Everywhere you look, tender green shoots of Spring bulbs and hardy plants are pushing upward through the damp earth, reaching for the Sun. Everything feels new, fresh, poised for vibrant, riotous growth. We, of Northeastern Ohio, are not completely fooled by this outrageous display. We know that Winter and Spring will do their annual dance for dominance until at least early April. But the energy of Spring is here nonetheless. How can we harness this energy to jump start our lives? Our projects? Our dreams? Our intentions? If you've been feeling a bit stagnant or stuck in a rut, get outside today and drink in the vibrant energy of Spring! Let it stimulate your creative, confident self. Let it propel you forward! We Ohioans know the warm weather won't last, so get out there and lap it up! Take a walk, hug a tree, listen to the birdsong, admire the tenacity of Spring bulbs pushing heavenward. Take this energy into your body and feel the ice melting and growth beginning within. Nature is indeed our greatest teacher on this Earth Walk. Happy Spring in February!💖

Love is a many-splendored thing, as all poets, musicians, artists and humans all around the globe have proclaimed from the dawn of humanity!  In this month dedicated to romantic love in our culture, there is an energetic surge created by the collective, which we can ride to more deeply explore love in all of its many expressions.  From romantic love, to self love, maternal love, universal love, passionate love, sacred love and everything in between, there's a crystal for that!  Read on to explore how the Crystalline Kingdom can help to enhance love in so many ways.

​Rose Quartz is the ultimate stone for enhancing self-love.  When we come to love ourselves unconditionally, "warts and all", only then can we truly love others unconditionally and be of service to others.  Self-love is THE most important step on our path of evolution here at University Earth.  Bring a Rose Quartz into your life and vibrate with its loving, soothing frequency.  Let it teach you about the Love that you are at your core, as a spark of the Divine, an integral  piece of Source energy.  Rose Quartz assists with heart healing in that it teaches us to fully embrace and love who we truly are.  We can all benefit greatly from the wisdom and vibration of this great crystal teacher. Rose Quartz carries the Elemental energies of Water, soothing emotions and gently cleansing toxic emotional residue from our emotional body.  Don't let its simplicity fool you...Rose Quartz is a master in this arena!

​Lepidolite is a master heart-healing stone.  It has a high content of Lithium, which naturally lifts the mood and soothes whatever ails you emotionally.  Lepidolite assists us in releasing that which no longer serves us.  When we hold onto excess emotional baggage, we are unable to grow, evolve and hold our full quotient of Light.  Lepidolite gently teaches us to "let go and let God", assisting us to embrace acceptance, self-love, forgiveness, seeing the bigger energetic picture.  Lepidolite carries the energy of the Water Element which works gently but thoroughly on our emotional body to cleanse and renew.  It works its magic on the Heart chakra while also connecting with the Sacred Mind for higher truth within any situation.

​Hiddenite (Green) & Kunzite (Pink) are both varieties of Spodumene that are invaluable in their heart-healing qualities. Hiddenite and Kunzite both contain high levels of Lithium which naturally lift the mood and soothe emotions.  Hiddenite and Kunzite teach us about joy and gratitude.  We feel joy when receiving blessings from the Universe, and we send gratitude in appreciation for these blessings. Joy and gratitude are a cycle.  When we live in a state of joy and gratitude, we magnetically draw more of the same experience into our lives through resonance and the Law of Attraction.  Hiddenite and Kunzite teach us to see the blessings within any event, to resonate with gratitude for the simplest things, to find the joy within every situation.  These crystal allies gently but thoroughly work on the emotional body to bring about heart-healing through resonance with the ecstatic states of joy and gratitude. They also carry the energies of the Water Element.

Ruby is a beautiful stone embodying the Elemental energies of Earth.  Ruby is THE best stone around to help us feel more comfortable in our physical bodies while embracing all of the pleasures the physical form has to offer!  Hence, Ruby fans the flames of physical passion in a big way!  Bring this powerful crystal ally into your life and ignite the romantic flames of passion this Valentine's Day.  Ruby also assists in maintaining health and vitality by enhancing the flow of Life Force within our physical bodies. It is a tonic for the body in all arenas! ​

​And not to be outdone by Ruby, Carnelian certainly does its part to fan the flames of passionate love!  Carnelian bears the Elemental energies of Fire.  It is all about passion, vitality, sexuality, confidence.  Want to have a special night of passion this Valentine's Day???  Place a grid of 6 Carnelian stones in a hexagonal (6-sided) grid around your bedroom and feel the dome of passionate energy sweep you and your beloved into an ecstatic evening to remember! Carnelian also promotes creativity, success, movement, action, physical health and hormonal balance.  It works primarily on the Sacral chakra, but also influences the Root and Solar Plexus.  Enjoy Carnelian's energy boost and soar to new heights!

Shiva Lingams are also amazing stones that can fan the flames of passion into ecstatic realms.  These are forms of Quartz with many inclusions from the Narmada River in India.  The form represents the Divine Masculine, while the markings represent the Divine Feminine.  Together they embody the Divine Union of both polarities.  These potent Storm Element stones initiate the rising of the kundalini, the "coiled serpent" of energy that lies at the base of the spine.  As it rises, stimulated by sexual passion, we reach states of ecstatic union with our beloved, resulting in a rapid expansion of consciousness and spiritual awakening. Very powerful stuff indeed!  This experience is the metaphorical alchemical conversion of lead into gold.

​Selenite is an ethereal stone bearing the Air / Wind Element energies within its beautiful form.  It is the best crystal ally, in my opinion, for connecting with the Higher Self, Spirit, the Divine.  Selenite has a very high frequency and assists our human crystal to vibrate with this higher frequency, opening us up to all manner of communion with Spirit.  Selenite helps us open to Divine Love.  When we fully open to and embrace Divine Love within our lives, we realize that THAT is what we have been searching for our entire lives!  Selenite also assists those in committed loving relationships to connect on spiritual levels, reaching new heights, fully embodying the God and Goddess for complete Divine Soul connection: the ultimate experience and expression of Love in the human form!

Good morning Soul Tribe! The potent celestial energies brought on with this lunar eclipse have opened a portal that allows thinning of the veils within us all. It's an opportunity for shadow work, facing the "dweller on the threshold", our own darkness, and releasing deep-seated thoughts, beliefs, emotions, patterns, that no longer serve us as we evolve. While we, the awakening Starseeds of planet Earth, have been in a very intense phase of "doing" since the August 2017 Solar Eclipse, this new energy seems to be more about releasing limitations and allowing more of our superconsciousness to come into our energy field. It's no longer about doing, it's about relaxing into our creations and allowing synchronicity and serendipity to guide us... It's about reawakening within us the joy of simply BEING! We are all vast, eternal beings with all the power and majesty of the Creative Force of the Universe inside. It's time to remember this and stop forcing outcomes. Stop swimming upstream. Stop sabotaging our own creations. Release, relax, allow, and let our desires and ascension flow to us magnetically, a perfect match for our higher vibration. Unity with other humans, the realm of Spirit, our Star Families and all the kingdoms of Gaia is also stressed here. It's time, dear friends, to expand into our true self... not the small human, but the totality of our vast Being-ness. Today I breathe in love, joy & gratitude for All that Is, and radiate this out into the Cosmos with each exhaled breath of my essence. Join me and connect in Unity Consciousness. The time has finally come! What a blessing and gift it is to be present in a physical incarnation on the ascending planet of free choice during these momentous times! Personally and collectively, we are changing the Universe with each and every breath. Love and Light to all! Thank you for taking your power and sharing the journey!💖💖💖

​Happy New Year Soul Tribe!  Humanity is Awakening!

It is my mission to assist with the awakening of humanity!  Whether you are new to the whole ascension / awakening concept, are beginning to spread your wings, or are already firmly on your path, it is my goal to help you in whatever manner you require to confidently embrace the divine purpose you planned for yourself before you incarnated into this particular lifetime!  It is my mission to assist you in remembering your divine mission, your divine path of service, the love, peace and joy that reside within you.  And it is also my mission to help you begin or continue to share these gifts with those around you. Why is this my mission, my purpose? I am fully committed to being a catalyst for this awakening through healing, teaching and providing a space for events where all of us can reconnect with our gifts, our spiritual families, and with all the Universe holds for each and every one of us.  I am here to remind you of your magnificence, your beauty.  I'm here to catalyze you into action! As more and more of humanity awakens to the divinity inside and begins to shift this world with love and compassion for all beings, we raise the vibration of all of humanity, all of our beloved Earth.  That's why!  The time of ascension is upon us and it's my mission to help as many of you as I can remember who you are and why you came.  And for some of you, the Old Souls among you, it is my mission to urge and coax you into taking your position of leadership to assist all of humanity with this paradigm shift all of Gaia is experiencing right now!

What is it that you truly love to do?  What makes your heart sing? What are your particular gifts and talents that you can share with the world for the betterment of all humankind? Where are you still limiting yourself?  Are you still holding onto limiting health issues, belief systems, emotional baggage?  Are you worried about everything that you can't control?  Are you afraid what others will say?  Do you fear that you are not worthy of unlimited joy, love, abundance? I can help you release all the things that are standing between you and living the life of your dreams!   It is time Dear Soul Family!  The time for fence-sitting is over and it's time to walk our talk!

As we say goodbye to 2017 and welcome 2018, we are already feeling a very perceptible shift in energy.  There is an excitement, a newness, and perhaps something we can't quite put our fingers on... but most of us would agree it feels exhilarating!   Although we all may experience the beginning of the New Year in our individual way with our individual goals and aspirations, there is an underlying current of compassion, interconnectedness, and expanded awareness.  We are shedding those beliefs, emotions, and energy blockages that no longer serve us in our ascent into the Light. We are starting to see how we are all part of something much greater than we ever imagined. We are all integral parts of the grand awakening of humanity, and our Earth.  These are unprecedented times on our beloved planet!  And as humanity awakens from the dream of separation, our Galactic and Universal families in the realms of Light await joyful reunion!  The celebration has already begun!

Whether you are just beginning to awaken from the dream and are just starting to become aware of your spiritual connection to all Beings within the Universe, or whether you have been walking this path for quite some time,  you are an important part of this ascension of humanity and our Gaia.  If you are well on your way or firmly established in your expanded awareness, compassion and unconditional love for all beings, I have a proposition for you.  Are you ready to do your part, to play the role you chose for yourself in this important incarnation and assist with the catalyzation of the awakening of humanity?  Are you ready to be a leader, a fore-runner, a way-shower to those behind you on the path?  Are you feeling the call to your path of service?  If you feel a stirring in your soul with these words, then join me in the Stargate work here at Crystal Earth Magic.  We are announcing our awakening to the Universe, and are setting great energies in motion with the work we are doing here.  Join me as we forge new connections to our spiritual families in the realms of Light.  Connections to many kingdoms who once interacted with humanity before our descent into extreme unconsciousness are also being reawakened.. to the realm of the Dragons, Merpeople, Fairies, and others!  They have so much to teach us!

For those of you just beginning, allow me to assist you in self healing, self-discovery, self-awareness.  Let me assist you in remembering how amazing you are!  Let me help you release all those things that are holding you back. It is time.  And if you feel excited and ready to move forward, to be part of this mass awakening, then contact me.  There are many ways to help you on your individual path at your individual level, from private healing / reading / intuitive development sessions, to group healing / awakening events, to classes in a wide range of subjects.

These are exciting times here on our Earth Dear Ones!  But we have work to do!  Help me build this energy field with this Stargate  work as we begin to bring about the awakening of humanity!  And help me achieve my mission by saying yes to finally putting yourself first.  A healed and balanced you will shift the energy of the planet in ways you can't imagine!  Let's do this together Soul Tribe! Thank you for taking your power!  

Love, Light and Gratitude for All You Are!

The Old Year wanes as a New Year with New Energy has already begun with the Winter Solstice on Dec. 21, even though most of the Earth celebrates the New Year as commencing on January 1. According to Tibetan numerology, and understood intuitively by most humans, all numbers have energy and meaning that impart great potential, currents and probability into our lives, our world.  2017 was a "1" year (2+0+1+7=10,1+0=1) meaning new beginnings and individual journey.  How many of you experienced exponential change and new beginnings beyond your wildest imaginings in 2017? How many of you began or deepened your commitment to your own personal journey of awakening?  We are building the New Earth, one heart at a time, and the new beginnings start with each and every one of us individually, and then combine for a collective vibration for all of humanity.  2018 is an "11" year (2+0+1+8=11, 11 is a master number that is not reduced).  The vibration of "11" is all about awakening and enlightenment.  As each of us awakens to our own personal truth and grows in our individual enlightenment, we add this to the collective vibration of humanity and catalyze a very real shift, careening toward the mass awakening of humanity!  Yes change comes slowly, but 2018 holds the energy and potential for huge shifts in awareness, amazing solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems, and a quantum leap for all of humanity!  For those of us still clinging to old ways, old limitations, old illnesses and old beliefs that no longer serve us, it is now time to release these and all other things that are holding us back, keeping us mired in a denser energy.  2018 will support us in all of this shedding and release.  And as with all changes, ask for ease and grace with this transition!  Many of our religions, teachers and societies have told us that we must suffer, but that is not true.  Awakening is a joyful pursuit, full of the energy of coming home and finally enjoying self as well as universal love and compassion. No one said that it would be easy, but it will definitely be worth it! 2018 should prove to be interesting and enlightening indeed!

For those of us who have been walking this spiritual path for some time, we are finally starting to see real shift in the fabric of humanity which is beginning to be reflected in the greater world around us. For those of you new to this path, welcome and thank you for taking your power! Humans everywhere are waking up, taking their power, realizing that our Earth, our Gaia is out of balance, and taking steps to align with a greater good, a greater truth--one that serves all beings with integrity, love and compassion.  We old souls have spent many lifetimes and many millennia in the darkness of the old, dense energy, but we are finally starting to see the fruits of all our labor.  The light is bright and beautiful to behold!  And it emanates forth from each of us!  We are the light!  We are the change that is occurring and still to come.  Together we birth this New Earth from the ashes of the old.  The time we have waited for for eons is here beloveds!  It is happening!  And each one of you was meant to be here at just this time, for you all have done this before, on other planets, in other star systems.  You have trained for just this time!  There is no coincidence! And together we are causing a tidal wave of benevolent change within our societies as we create this New Earth!  Well done beautiful ones!

Humanity has a multitude of spiritual beings and ascended civilizations assisting with this transition to the New Earth.  Remember that universal law prohibits their interference.  But when we ask and connect with these beautiful beings, many of them aspects of ourselves in other dimensions and realities, they can they begin to assist in whatever way we wish as long as it is in our greatest good.  The veils grow thinner each day, and many are having experiences that they can't explain away, causing them to look deeper, to start searching for what is really happening.

We are in the midst of an ascension on our beloved Earth Dear Ones!  And each and every one of you is an integral part of this whole.  Without your individual note in the song of creation, the symphony of ascending humanity on our dear Gaia is incomplete.  There is no coincidence that you are right here right now awakening Starseed!  Welcome home!

During 2018 and beyond, the thousands of benevolent guides, angels, ascended masters and Star Families that support awakening humanity and the Starseed / Stargate work will be assisting all of us with their teachings, healings and attunements to the New Energy of this New Earth.  We are not alone beloveds!  We have never had so much help! Join me and these beautiful guides for wisdom, assistance and support either alone or in the many Starseed / Stargate events here at Crystal Earth Magic or at many places around the world.  We have arrived!  Thank you all for being part of my journey!  And thank you for awakening and shining your Light!

Love, Light and Gratitude for All You Are!

​Greetings Soul Tribe!

Did you know that the upcoming Winter Solstice is actually the perfect time for New Year's resolutions because we are supported energetically by a vast array of Universal currents? Solstices are potent, energetic portals that allow incredible opportunities for quantum leaps in consciousness and action. Anything we create at this time is maximized and long-lasting. The Winter Solstice has the energy of new beginnings, the return of the Light, the true beginning of the New Year... so why not start now on the things you wish to create in the coming year?

There is a lot going on in the world, as well as in the greater Cosmos.  The Earth, and our reality as we know it, is changing right before our very eyes.  The entire third dimension is being dismantled, as humanity seeks to find balance within this new framework of the higher fourth dimension.  Many of us are spending greater amounts of linear time in the higher dimensions, the fifth and above.  These forays into the higher vibratory realms are necessary to help us integrate all of the intense, changing energies that surround and interpenetrate us on a daily basis.   

It is also necessary for us to spend more and more time in meditation so that we are able to remember our role in this ascension process, download the changes, and learn to focus on the higher perspective.  In this way, we become living examples to others who are still in fear, hatred, anger and lower vibrating states of being.  As Lightworkers, Way-showers, leaders, we positively affect all with whom we come into contact, as well as the collective vibration of humanity as a whole.  In other words, we boost and benefit the ascension process by our very existence.  But when we get caught up in the chaos and low vibrating states of being that exist within the world at large, we become mired in old energy and can no longer effectively and efficiently integrate and function within these higher realms. 

This time of year can seem to push us to our limits, but as always, there is a higher path, the choice of seeing the greater perspective, the bird's eye view.  It is always a choice.  We must accept moving forward, that we are no longer victims of circumstance and are indeed creator gods and goddesses.  Everything is manifesting very rapidly in this new energy paradigm.  We must be ever mindful where we focus our thoughts, as well as our emotions, because where focus goes, energy flows, and if we are not mindful where we focus our energy, we may be creating realities we would not consciously choose.  It is the Law of Attraction, and it is in play whether we are conscious of it or not.  There is no more fence-sitting Dear Ones. The time is NOW!  No one is coming to rescue us.  Oh yes, we have loads of help from infinite realities, but WE are the only ones who can effect the change we wish to see, the New World we wish to create.  So what is it that you wish to create in the coming New Year for the New Earth?

It is more important now than it ever has been, to keep ourselves balanced and clear energetically.  It's time to stand in our power, individually as well as collectively. Dear Ones, do you realize how important you are?  Do you realize your role in the ascension?  Everything we do affects the infinite Universe in ways we cannot even imagine.  Just know how integral you are to the New Earth.  Spend time in quiet contemplation and meditation.  No matter how busy you are, find the time to connect into the quantum field on a daily basis.  Meditation has never been as important as it is right here, right now.  Utilize the tools you have learned over the years and incorporate them into your daily practice, your daily life.  Understand that it is not being selfish to require personal time.  That is what the old energy guard and our religions have programmed us to believe in order to keep us subjugated for millennia.  Self care is the most important thing we can do.  And that most assuredly includes self love and self compassion / forgiveness. When we are full of light, joy and love because we are energetically "full", we naturally radiate that love, joy and compassion to all with whom we come into contact.

Take the time for YOU this holiday season, and beyond into 2018.  Have that "me" time, take that class, go on that trip, treat yourself to something that will make your mind, body, heart and soul sing!  As we engage in this self care, we are not the only beneficiaries...everyone around us, as well as the collective human vibration, will benefit as well. Sounds like a wonderful New Year's resolution to me!  

Love, Light and Infinite Blessings!

Lori

Greetings Soul Tribe!

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, in need of a time out, or just blah, you are not alone.  As always, I want to let you know what is energetically going on in the greater Cosmos as well as with our Earth and with each of us personally. Don't despair!  Don't feel alone!  Don't think that you are the only one feeling this heaviness, this overwhelm.  We have been dealt an exceptional "whammy" from  the galactic center that is being delivered via the solar winds, courtesy of our solar deity, the Sun. Usually solar winds are associated with solar flares (Coronal mass ejections or CME's), but this time, the Sun is quiet and scientists are scratching their collective heads.  We have been in the midst of these solar winds (and other cosmic energies our science has yet to identify, much less explain!) since about November 1.  Personally, I felt their arrival Nov. 1 in the early afternoon.  Remember that these cosmic events have an effect on Earth and all upon her for a much greater length of time than our current science can actually measure these energies.  We all know we are feeling something that is difficult to integrate, difficult to overcome.  Usually, I am affected very little by these sorts of things, and actually enjoy the intensity and all the expansion they bring.  But this particular cosmic event left me feeling spent and definitely not myself.  When I didn't feel better after a couple of days of down time, I knew I had to do something.  And actually, my guides took matters into their own hands and got me out of my funk.  I also had the pleasure to experience a group healing event with two wonderful colleagues that really helped vibrate it out of me.  The timing couldn't have been better!  Synchronicity at its best!  It was actually simple, but just like when we are in the midst of an illness or a depression, we often feel we don't have the energy or desire to do what we need to do to move, heal, integrate and expand.  It can be a vicious cycle.  So we need to be proactive when the blahs hit...  No one is immune!  Recognition and action is key!

The dreary weather in Northeast Ohio over the past few weeks, not to mention the barrage of emotions and energies related to the upcoming Holiday season (that seems to begin earlier and earlier every year!) has compounded the dense energy, and many of us have wanted to go into hibernation.  And while that is fine for a couple of days to recharge, when it becomes longer than that, we need to take action to avoid the downward spiral.  Remember that these times of intense energetic shifts are here to upgrade our operating systems, upgrade our DNA, our cellular structures, our nervous systems, our lives and our world.  This is big stuff, and it is arriving right on schedule, according to the Universal plan that is!  A lot of old energy patterns, beliefs, emotions and baggage are coming to the surface to be released and transformed.  This particular round is very intense, and many of us are left floundering, wondering why these things we thought we had cleared years ago are resurfacing in such an acute manner.  What we must do in these cases, is let these things go!  Let them release!  Do not judge them or yourself, or you just push them into the body again, and they will have to find their way to the surface again at a later date!  Let them release from your energy field now!  And be grateful for the experience and the opportunity to become clearer, brighter, more joyful!

Understanding what is happening, seeing it for what it is, and knowing we are all experiencing these energies together, albeit in different ways, is key to taking command of the situation.  Even if you don't want to do it, get outside in Nature.  Hug a tree, hug your pets, hug your friends and family.  Count your blessings and be in a state of gratitude and appreciation.  (Isn't that the true meaning of the Holiday season???) Meditate.  Rest.  Recharge.  Ask for assistance from your spiritual team.  Remember that they require your permission in order to help because we all have free will!  Ask for assistance every day!  Trust in the magnificent divine plan and its unfolding, and know that you are an integral part of that symphony of creation, no matter how you feel at this moment.  We all have divine missions that are very important, unique and right on schedule for the ascension planet Earth and all of humanity is going through!  If you truly listen to the musings of your heart, (and yes you must be still in order to do that!) you will feel your spiritual team urging you on, guiding you out of the morass, pointing to solutions...

Sometimes we need a vacation, a healing session, a meditation session, a day of fun (whatever that means to you!) to help snap us out of our funk.  We always have to remember that unless we practice self care, we are of no use to anyone else.  "Self care is not selfish. You can't serve from an empty vessel."  And too many of us have been attempting to do that for far too long.  So hang in there Soul Tribe.  You are all important, beautiful, integral, unique pieces to the ascension puzzle we are all currently working.  We all need to be at our best, so practice that self care, especially as we embark on a very busy season.  Stay in your center, connect with your guides, don't be afraid to say "no" to things that you don't wish to be a part of.  Honor yourself and your mission.  And don't be afraid to ask for a little help from your friends.  We are all One.  What a beautiful symphony we are creating together!

Love, Light and Unity!

Lori
