Living Your Ultimate Truth: 5D Capable

As we prepare for Ascension, we are being asked to step as fully into our truth as humanly possible. This requires a lot of deep diving within your emotional and energetic field; asking yourself the hard questions and really following the path of truth, accepting and surrendering to what IS.

Letting go of attachments to people, places, and things, moving into the state of being in which you do not need to control anything or know anything, is where you will find the peace that you seek. To be stuck in a program where you do not trust yourself, love yourself, or anyone else, is hell on Earth. When we step back from our Ego and ask “How can I love more?”, will start to change your mindset drastically.

You do not need to know anything because you have all that you need within you. You only need to step away from that analyzing place in your brain where you can go down a million “what ifs”, and stay mired in indecision and uncertainty. Meditation is KEY in this process; in order to fully let go and follow the lead of Spirit, you must quiet your mind and body on a daily, regular basis. Start small and work up to it; you cannot do it wrong. Your Higher Self is asking you to trust yourself and trust that you have been through so much because you needed the knowledge and wisdom from those traumas for the New Earth.

When synchronistic events start to flow around you, it is a feeling of such deep and solid PEACE. Navigating the Matrix is all about LOVE and embodying this vibration for all to see, without fear. If you are still struggling to trust yourself, measure your doubts by asking, “Is this Love, or Fear based?” and always choose Love. Make a commitment to yourself that you will increase your self value and others will begin to reflect this back to you. It is a magnificent reflection!

As we make this shift, remember to check yourself daily. Ask the question, “What do I most need for my growth today?”, and be ready. When you feel the trigger light up, breathe into it. Ask it to come in and sit down for a nice little chat. Invite your inner child to come along, and be the parent that you always wanted, for yourself. In this way, you can truly learn to love yourself, and attract that back to yourself, it is what you have waited for and yearned for, but it was in you all along.

Dear Love Warrior,

Be Encouraged Today! Go forth and be blessed.

Navigating the Shift: Releasing Attachments and Limiting Beliefs

As we move further and further into the space of 5D, we can see how the bottom is falling out of the 3D matrix. Old beliefs are being challenged and we are asked to step out of our analyzer and into total trust. Clinging to old belief systems is the #1 way we are hooked and staying stuck. When your mind is engaged in a dialogue which has been repeated over and over again, you do not even realize that you are brainwashed. You may even think you are happy and fulfilled, but deep inside, something feels “off”. This energy presents itself as anxiety and the need to control everything and everyone around you.

Find Your Joy and Follow It!

When you begin distancing yourself from these limiting beliefs, you are met with resistance from others who are afraid of their own truths. When you heal yourself, those who are closest to you are left with a choice to either heal themselves, OR they choose to villainize you and find every way to say you are wrong and bad, and when questioned about it, they can not exactly say why. They will often repeat phrases over and over, like, “You can not do that because it is wrong”, or something equally void of any logical or tangible explanation. I have come to see these interactions with compassion; they do not understand why they do it, and they are surely fighting a battle that challenges them to the core. Perception is the way we justify things to ourselves, and this is purely human.

Attachments are another way we stay connected and active in the 3D. This looks like fear of loss, and abandonment issues. We take things personally and extract meaning from occurrences from a space of reacting. When you make decisions based purely on emotion, it is generally flawed. When you release attachment to outcomes and what others do, or say, you are FREE. In this space you will not be tempted to judge or gossip, simply because there is no reason to do so. You are happy and free to create the life you were meant to live. You are clear on your life purpose and living in the present, with gratitude and love. You are able to see the actions of others with love and compassion, thus; you start to attract this energy into your life. You attract the energy where you are vibrating, in any given moment. The best news is: You can become mindfully aware of this, and when you experience energy that you do not enjoy, simply take this as a cue to look within and heal yourself. In this way, you will very quickly be soaring high on the beautiful energies of love and expansion!

Which reality do you choose?

Compassion for yourself and others is of great importance on this journey. The current energies are coming in to assist you with this, love warriors. Discard any fear or doubt surrounding what others think of you, gossip, fear based rhetoric, and political or pop culture distractions. Stay focused on Love and Kindness, no matter what, and keep your vibration high so that you may fly above the matrix and be open to these new energies of abundance and fulfillment.

Blessings and Love, Andrea

In A BEginning: A 5D Reality

My dear readers, I am feeling led to begin a new era of channeling, and stepping into the role of Divine Oracle. A year ago, I had a vision of this shift, and have surrendered to the flow. When I started this blog, I was recently divorced, and lived a quite different reality than I presently create. From this point forward, my blog will be less a journal, and more a Divine Channel of Truth. Spirit has led me to this decision and I will surrender to it, as I have in many other aspects to my timeline. And So It Is!

I am grateful to those of you who have followed my journey over the years, and if this is where we part ways, I wish you all the abundance and blessings that you so richly deserve!

~Andrea~

IN A BEginning, there were humans, and they were sovereign beings of light. They danced, and sang, and enjoyed BEing. One day, two of the humans tried combining their energy, and they were filled with joy at the connection. One by one, this became common practice, and eventually, it was “the way we did things”. My generation grew up with the belief that we must give our energy to others, until we are depleted and empty. We are then “old”, and eventually, we die from this “affliction”. There is a balance, in which we can maintain our sovereignty, and also enjoy community and the occasional combining of energies. Balance is the KEY to this golden space.

Be In Awe of Everything

The 3D reality taught us to DO things, have goals, push to the maximum, and every day is a “race” of some sort. We prided ourselves on how hard we work, and how much we beat ourselves up, this is seen as “success”. Depression and Anxiety are on the rise, and many are filled with apathy and regret. It is time to let go of this belief system, and embrace the new energies which are flooding the planet at this pivotal time in Earth’s history.

5D dimensional plane is all about FLOW and BEING, and staying as present as we can in each moment. Gratitude is an important key to attain this vibration; wake early and say Thank You as your eyes open. Set the intention that your day will flow easily and joyfully, or whatever is appropriate for your situation. Speak only stories of good and positive report; do not participate in gossip, shame, or any of the other Ego traps which bring your vibration down. Step away from any and all obligation, and observe how others react without judgment for them OR YOURSELF.

When you become the observer of your own mind; you are then able to maintain neutrality in most situations. This allows you to move freely in the new dimensional frequencies; this is 5D. A helpful visual exercise is to imagine yourself weightless and timeless, see yourself as your Soul, pure and unfettered by earthly possessions, emotions, and any other “things” which clutter your subconscious and keep you in a confused and anxious state. Relax and allow yourself to float on this cloud, seeing yourself as a being of light, and really FEEL your soul’s vibration. Be amused at how seriously we take this timeline/matrix of 3D reality; it is only as real as you choose to make it. Imagine how you would “win'“ this game, this virtual reality world; when the way to transcend is total surrender, how would that look for you? Become aware of your triggers and follow this connection to your wounds; surrender and heal. Your beliefs are reflected back to you and called “reality”.

The way to Love is within you; when you can truly love and respect yourself, by letting go of all obligation, to anyone and anything, you are then able to see clearly what Your Soul is truly here for. Once you have your path sighted, you are then able to build upon this energy, and eventually, you will find yourself Free.

Many Blessings and Much Love to you all today!

Farewell, My Beloved Feline Companion

My faithful feline, Carmel, crossed the rainbow bridge a week ago. It was a beautiful crisp fall evening, and the entire day leading up to it, she had been acting strangely, making weird moaning noises, and hiding. I sat with her as much as she would allow, and prepared myself mentally for her transition. Around midnight, I was awakened by a loud meowling, and I rushed to turn on the light. She lay next to my head, and I saw her breath moving in and out. Three big breaths later, she crossed, as I watched. Her soul left her body and I cried, the loss felt unreal; I had not been prepared for how this would impact me. For the next hours, until dawn, I allowed those energies to leave my body, as I wrapped her in a towel, laid out in the moonlight, on the screened in porch, where she loved to be with me. I placed crystals on her torso, and said a prayer for her ease in passing that beautiful bridge. I thanked her and gave her permission to leave, her journey with me at it’s end.

Her Happy Place

The next day, my son came over and dug the grave, using the physical energy to release his sadness and pain, as well. We laid her body in the hole and took turns throwing dirt on top. I then gave my own version of “life with Carmel” (at least she can’t bite me anymore), as she was quite the character in her prime. She used to stand on top of our house in California, and meow at passersby. People would seek her out and she would bite or scratch them for their interest. She was MY CAT.

Ye Shall Not Pass!!!!!!

As the days turn into weeks, and I am finally able to even write this out, I am more and more at peace with her absence, as well as Frank’s (her housemate). I am still releasing the attachments I created with her, but I know that, in the end, it is a wonderful validation for me, that I no longer need a healing from that being. I am becoming more and more proficient at healing myself, and rarely need help from outside sources. I certainly do appreciate the support of my community, but I do not ask them, or anyone, to heal my pictures, aside from a few minor lapses, aka The Human Experience.

Carmel came to me after my divorce, when I was in desperate need of validation and healing. At the time, I had no idea how to do that, so I did what always had worked in the past, get a pet and go to a bunch of parties. At the same time, I was raising two sons, and I tried to meet their needs as best I could, while dealing with my deepest inner demons. It was a tumultuous time, to say the least. Carmel was with me through all of that, then, moving back to Arkansas to a deep heartbreak, started to take it’s toll. She began to put on weight, and became much more sedentary. I grew to be both annoyed and enamored with her light snoring, as she insisted on sleeping next to my head. She bit me on the eyelid one time, during what I can only assume was a cat-mare, since we were both asleep at the time and she seemed confused when I yelped. There was blood and tears, but she was fiercely loyal and had a purr you could hear across the room. I look back and realize how many people she tried to warn me about, but I ignored it. I was stuck in my own cycle of pictures, and when you are in denial, you don’t KNOW IT; hence, the name.

Sweet Baby

Carmel is buried at my Mom’s house, in the garden, where she kept me company many summer days, and warned the birds away from the raspberry bush. I placed crystals on top of her grave, along with a small witch hazel tree in a pot. It brings me joy to think how happy she must be now. I am happy for her, but I also still miss her at times. I have given myself permission to move on and be happy, but still be sad sometimes.

Rest In Eternal Peace My Beloved.

Ode to Frank: A Magical Feline

Frank came to be with us during the Spring of 2019. When I first met him, he was living in a small apartment with another cat named Penny. I was working for a pet sitting company in Fayetteville, and he was one of my regulars. I soon became fascinated with this beautiful gray feline; I have never met a cat who was so focused on the laser pointer (see what I did there?). He would meow at me mercilessly until I got the pointer out of my purse, and never seemed to tire of chasing the red dot. His owners noticed that he was different when they came back from their trip, and when I came back to give the key to them, Frank came running up to me, meowing and rubbing my legs. They laughingly commented that he seemed to be “over them” and only into me. I pulled out the laser pointer and showed them how much he liked it, so they got one and reported how much he enjoyed it. A few months later, I received a text from the woman, asking if I knew anyone who would like to adopt Frank, as she was moving out of the country and could not take him with her. She and her fiancé had separated, and she was devastated, understandably. My partner, Bill, had visited Frank with me on several occasions, and immediately said he would love to adopt him; this is how Frank came into our lives. A few months later, after a period of great difficulty, Bill moved out while I was at the grocery store, leaving Frank with me.

Frank in his awesomeness

I was happy to have this beautiful cat as part of our family, and my son, Sam, who was 17 at the time, plus our other two cats, welcomed Frank with (mostly) open arms. Carmel, my closest buddy, was possessive and jealous at first, but Frank soon won her over with his gentle and innocent energy. He thrived in his new environment, and when his previous owner came by to drop off the cat tree, she commented, “Wow, Frank, you got big!” Like a fish in a tank, when he was given more space, he expanded into it. He enjoyed being outside and especially loved thunderstorms, and snowfall. He would come back into the house, soaking wet, and asking me to dry him off. We would keep a towel by the door on rainy days because we knew he would be coming in wet. He was such a special cat in so many ways, and even after he broke his leg, his spirit remained strong and vital. He chased mice and rabbits, birds, and butterflies, often leaving his prizes on the welcome mat. He eviscerated a rabbit on that welcome mat; it had to go into the trash, and I learned to check his mouth before letting him come inside.

He loved being outside with me

As Carmel begrudgingly accepted him, he became a regular on my bed. Soon, he was chasing our other cat, Socks, around and eventually, they all snuggled up together on the infrared heat mat in my office. Frank liked to come in and hold space when I had clients, and on more than one occasion, he would climb into the client’s lap while they were shifting energy. He earned quite a reputation among our friends; one of his very favorite things was when we had a bonfire out back. He would climb up on my back and shoulders and sit with me, soaking up the warmth and purring. He scared me with his taunting of the neighbor’s dog, and once, he got stuck high up in a tree, and meowed loudly for me to get him down, which I could not, so he eventually found a way. After that, he would go up that tree regularly, as if to say, “Look! I figured it out!”

A popular spot for all three amigos

In May of 2021, we moved, and it was extremely traumatic for all 3 of the cats. When we arrived at our new home, it took about 2 months for them to adjust, and then, Frank became the sweetheart of the neighborhood, winning the hearts of all the women, and the admiration of passersby. People would often comment on how big and beautiful he was. He was shy with new people but eventually snuggled up with the neighbor lady, to her dog’s dismay. I started to feel as though he might not be with us much longer, just a vague feeling, and I tried not to worry. We live close to a busy street, and when I would go on my morning walk, he would try to follow me through the crosswalk, but I admonished him harshly, as you would a child, to stay on our block and stay safe. He seemed to understand and would wait for me in the yard, meowing loudly when he saw me walking up the street, running up to meet me and walk me up the sidewalk.

My meditation buddy :)

He was also a voracious eater, with a large appetite, and very loud about his asking. In the late days of summer, he began to stay out all night, and wake me up with a loud banging on the back door at 5 a.m.; he learned to stand on his hind legs and push on the door to make the loudest noise! You couldn’t be mad at him, he was so adorable and frisky, so it became a joke. He eventually learned to let himself in and out through the screen door, but made a big racket, and would still wake me up. He taught Socks to do this, as well, and so we had 2 escape artists, in league with each other. With Frank being so much younger, I thought the older cats would tire of him, and Carmel did, but Socks seemed to thrive with Frank’s lively energy. They became comrades of sorts, and I noticed that Frank would look after the older cats when they were all outside.

Affectionately called “The Greys”

Carmel got sick a few weeks ago, and hid under the recliner for almost a week, not eating or drinking. After her last trip to the vet, where she was so upset that she bit me, the vet, and the assistant, I promised her I wouldn’t take her again. She has always been very healthy, and Sam used to say she was “immortal”. I was concerned, of course, but I kept a close watch on her, and she soon seemed to get better. We noticed her eating and drinking again, so we relaxed and felt like she would recover. Frank was obviously upset and would tell me loudly that I needed to sit down and meditate. He would follow me around, meowing, until I sat down, and then he would hop onto my lap and refuse to move until I cleared my space.

My sweet girl

Another week passed, and once day, I looked at Carmel, and she had lost a significant amount of weight, and then I noticed that she wasn’t eating or drinking again. She followed me around all day, to the point where I started to carry her, which she has never allowed before. Frank stayed close and seemed to be holding space for her. One night, 3 days ago, he didn’t come home. The next day, I went all around the neighborhood, calling his name and looking in the bushes, but to no avail. That night, I fell asleep crying, missing his sweet energy. He came to me on the astral and showed me that he had gone to help a young teen boy, who needed him. I saw the inside of the house, and how the father yelled at the boy a lot, and Frank felt he was needed there. When I woke up, I knew he was exactly where he needed to be, helping with his special magical energy. I cried and released the energy of my attachment, trusting the divine plan. Frank asked me if I needed him to come back and I told him no, you are where you need to be right now. I miss him terribly, but at the same time, I am needed here, to help Carmel as she seems to be transitioning off the planet. She continues to lose weight, and when I pick her up now, she offers no resistance, and seems to weigh almost nothing.

BFF’s for life

It occurs to me that Frank may have left because I have felt overwhelmed by 3 cats, only one of which is technically “mine”; as these things go. Socks is Sam’s cat, and Sam cannot have her with him where he is now. Part of me wants to be completely free of responsibility, as my sons have left to pursue their independence, and my ex left Frank, along with many of his other belongings, for me to “deal” with. I never felt resentful, because of course I love these animals, and have enjoyed them so much. Spirit knows, though, when your heart is moving on. Carmel is 16 years old and has been with me since she was a kitten. She has helped me through some very tough times, and now that I am learning to heal myself, I do not need her like I used to. Perhaps Frank sensed this as well and felt led to move on. He healed his own wounds and has now become able to pass that along to this boy who now needs his feline magic.

Too sexy for this chair

Thank you, Frank. You have given me so much magic, and I am grateful for you. I love that you know where to go and are answering the call. I hope you visit me again, whether it be on the astral, or in 3D Earth. Rock on little guy.

Spiritual Bypassing: Using Your Triggers to Heal Yourself

The term “spiritual bypassing” came into my awareness a few years ago. I had begun to notice how many in the spiritual community would say one thing and do another, without conscious awareness they were doing it. So, as a friend, I would bring it to their attention, and most of the time, the relationship would be terminated. I struggled with this complexity, and examined my own role in this cycle of behavior. I was definitely in a judgmental space with it, and so, I chose one of the people who irritated me the most, and began to ask myself, “What is this person mirroring for me? Why am I attracting this energy?”. The results were interesting, as I observed my initial Egoic response, with strong resistance to me being “wrong”.

If you have been following my journey over these past few years, you have witnessed my greatest spiritual awakening. All who have been a part of my journey, have assisted me simply by reflecting back to me, my greatest shame, fear, and anger. You have also reflected back to me friendship, love, and purpose; and for all of this I am extremely grateful to you.

As I went down this “rabbit hole” of observant thought, I kept asking myself “WHY?”, as a response to any self limiting belief. Soon, I got to the bottom of the hole, and found the Core Picture; that energetic wound which has created the pattern in the present. I can then talk to my inner child, and update my timeline. In the days that followed, I started to notice that I wasn’t irritated AT ALL about things that would normally infuriate me. The neighbor’s dog is barking all day? Not an Issue. I get behind the slowest driver on a 2 lane highway? Totally at peace.

Next time you are triggered by something, or someone, ask yourself, “What is this person mirroring for me?” and step back from your Ego. Self healing is all about observing your thoughts and using the triggers as a lighthouse, guiding you to the wound that needs healing the most. I like to use golden suns and a grounding cord to sit with the energy in as neutral as a space as is possible. Sometimes I have to remind myself, “It’s not about them” more than once. The more you focus on your role, which is the only thing you can change, the better you will get at spotting it sooner, and eventually, you will be shifting out of the energy before you visibly react. It will become a habit to focus within when you are triggered, and thus: reversing the Victim role you have played in the past.

I love you!!!! Andrea

The Man With the White Eyes: An Angel in Plain Sight

This morning, I began the day with a meditation on top of a hill with a beautiful sister of light. We came back in to awareness and began to share our experiences, when voice called out, “Were you praying?” We turned to look, and a middle aged African American man was gently ambling his way towards us. I replied, “We were meditating.” to which he made appreciative noises and nodded. He put his head down and started to walk away, when something inside me made me call out, “Would you like to join us?” He stopped dead in his tracks and then his whole face lit up and he began to come towards us, saying, “Well, yes, I would!” He started to warn us that he had a lot of tattoos and it might be scary to us, but we welcomed him with a wave of the hand. He indeed had many tattoos, and presented quite a “scary” persona, if you wanted to see it that way. I have been working on talking to more people, especially those who no one else seems to want to talk to. It has been a very eye opening experience, and this was to be the most intense yet. He gave us each a fist bump and began to tell us that he was a martial arts instructor, and I asked to see some of his “moves”, which he happily obliged. He then shared that he had been abandoned on the street when he was a baby, and had been adopted by a Hispanic couple, who raised him as their own. he had been involved in gangs for many years, as well, until he found Spirit.

Gratitude practice is vital to any kind of transformation

This stopped me dead in my tracks: he found Spirit? The fact that he showed up right after a very powerful meditation tells me that he is a high vibrational being. He definitely challenged my beliefs, and I found myself being amused by the fact that he seemed to have shifted into Evangelical mode, and he continually ended threads of thought with “Can I get an Amen?” It briefly occurred to me that he might be channeling my grandfather, who was an Evangelical Minister, and we were sitting on the hill above the church he attended.

Suddenly, his eyes glazed over and I strained hard to look under the bill of his cap; were they WHITE?? I dismissed it as “the glare” and continued listening, but then he told a story that Spirit had taken away his sight for a year, and they went white again, this time there was no mistaking it! He then turned to my companion, and said, “I have a message for you”, and his voice changed, then he delivered the message. I do not know what he said, even though I was sitting right there; it was not a message for me, and I simply held space while she received it. Afterwards, she shed tears of utter and complete joy, as her heart was filled with gratitude for his message.

I felt that it was time for us to leave, and so I used a separation rose between us, and he immediately stood and said, “I will be going now.” We nodded, and thanked him for the blessing of his presence, and he looked right at me, as our eyes met, he said, “You know what you’re doing, don’t you?” I nodded, speechless, as he then turned and walked away.

My friend turned to me and said, “Did you see his EYES???” And of course I nodded, and we compared notes, filling in the blanks with each other’s perception. And all of this happened because I was able to overcome my fear of talking to scary looking men! The old me would have been totally afraid and shunned him; how many of these angels are out there, in disguise? And it begs the further question: How many people have I misjudged, and dismissed, because of their outer appearance?

As I process this experience, I am struck by the fact that, in a any given day, you can choose how to approach life. You can wake up and turn on the news, or scroll through your social media, or you can begin with mindful practices, such as yoga and meditation. I have been bookending my days with these practices, and it has propelled me into a rapid period of spiritual growth. I am seeing events and people that I never knew existed, coming into my awareness, and just blowing my mind. I feel such gratitude for this path, and I stay present and mindful throughout the day. When I see a “scary looking” man, is that my program, or am I really seeing his energy? Judging by today’s experience, I would say it is a program, which then allows me to mindfully step out of it and choose something else.

Creating a mindful existence requires you to face your pain, and admit that you have no idea what you are doing. Once you can surrender your Ego, that is when the magic starts to happen!

Yoga is a great way to start the day: my cat knows this!

Feel it To Heal It: Complete Your Cycles of Pain

A few years ago, I took stock of my social media accounts and realized that they were bringing me down. Every time I would tap that app, I would come away feeling bad about myself. So, I did what anyone would do after having that realization: I stopped doing it. It helped tremendously, and I started spending more time in nature, meeting in person with friends, and actually talking to strangers. I began to realize that, in my haste to shift my own patterns, I had bypassed the actual REASON I was being triggered; therefore, missing the lesson, and keeping me stuck, just in another way.

When you avoid your triggers, it is not the same as HEALING them. In order to heal it, you have to allow yourself to FEEL it. I was getting triggered on social media because I had some deep inner conflict about myself, and low self esteem pictures to work on. If I am truly happy with myself, what others are doing is of no consequence. Being jealous of someone else is the same, even if you think they are being fake. You’re still triggered, look at that. Why? Go all the way down that rabbit hole, and look at it. You’ll find it, and then you can actually heal it, and shift the pattern. I began to feel really bold in speaking my authentic truth to others, and something kind of magical began to happen: I felt a deeper sense of completion, a clearer sense of who I really am, and what is my purpose on this planet. I also worked on releasing those pictures about judging others/myself, and with that came a strong compassion, even for those who do not think they need or want that. I’ve become so clear on my path, that I am comfortable disagreeing with you, to your face, and still loving you with all my heart. I am ok with you yelling at me or gossiping about me, because I know that you are healing YOUR wounds, and you are doing the best you can. It is not about me at all. My perspective is my reality.

I recently started using social media again, and the energy reflected back to me is wonderful. The people I meet are all so loving and helpful, and they are coming from a healed and aware perspective, so they intuitively follow the Four Agreements philosophy. I do not vibrate with the heavier energies, so they go around me, or in the other direction. I can set clear and healthy boundaries because I am not afraid someone will be mad, or not like me. I understand that everything is energy, and I am divinely protected and directed. Speaking my truth from my heart is opening up all the doors that had been closed to me for so long; I am now within a hair’s breadth of my most vivid dreams.

When you can stop avoiding your pain, and instead, embrace it, you can release it, and be FREE. And that is when the magic starts.

Sending loving blessings your way!!!!!

How Life is Like Cooking: Timing is Everything

I am a cook, as a hobby: I enjoy creating something out of a list of other things. I tried to make it a profession, but having to try to create something from what others want, does not seem to bring me the same amount of joy. Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a good challenge, give me a list of your dietary restrictions, and I am in the Zone; I love puzzles and anything that twists my mind up for a bit. I have been on a lot of different “diets”, and it is always fun for me to meet the requirements with a finished product that everyone (mostly) enjoys as well. I love telling people, “This is Gluten free” and watching their amazed expressions.

When I try to create what others want, based on the list of things they think they would like, it hinders my own artistic expression, and creates restrictions when I see flow. It causes me to doubt my intuition, and there is no creative expression within that space. Much like this, Energy transfers from one person to the next, and doesn’t translate the same way. I can say one thing to you, and the same thing to another person, and get two entirely different reactions. This is because we all have a unique energetic signature which reacts differently to stimuli. This ripples into our auric flied, and ricochets off your physical body, sometimes in a physically painful way. In this process, we can experience body pain, emotional pain, and all kinds of variants in between, depending on how deep the wound goes. Your wounds create your life experience, until you become aware of them, and can start to heal your wounds from the inside out. No one else can do this for you, you are literally the only one qualified to heal yourself completely. Others can help, and teach, and guide you, but ultimately, it is your responsibility to take what you learn and apply it. Sit with yourself and focus on your inner landscape at least once a day. At this point in the Ascension process, I sit and meditate 3-4 hours a day, sometimes. I spend a lot of time in nature, and a lot of time alone. I do not feel drawn to the computer, or my phone, or even “doing” things. I feel fatigued and restless at the same time; yet I know, deep in my heart, that this is exactly where I am supposed to be. I am present with the ebbs as well as the flows.

As we continue to navigate our way through this energetic minefield, you will be asked to look at your worst fears and your deepest wounds. In order to heal, you must look at the wound. It requires you to be humble, and admit that you create EVERYTHING that “happens” to you, the good, the bad, and the very, very ugly. But guess what? The other side of this process is that you will start to feel lighter, and as that heavy energy moves off you, there may be a moment where you try to hold on to it, for it is the familiar, it is all you have known, for your whole life, as these wounds are the oldest you carry, your Core Pictures. This is what makes you, YOU, at least up to this point in your journey. But you asked for more, and here is your opportunity, it takes courage to face this, but you can do it, or you would not still be here, on this planet, riding the waves of energy which are coursing up, and up, and breaking into some of the most amazing peaks; it is your time to step into the role you came here to play.

Having a list of ingredients makes nothing, you have to put it in the mix at specific intervals, and only then will your creation start to make sense, and then you pause to taste it, and make some adjustments; if needed, until you finally hold the finished product in your hands, and you taste it, and it is delicious. You may have some of your ingredients now, or you may need to take a grocery store trip, but wherever you are in the recipe of life, it is a Creation, an experience that you create, and shape into what brings you joy. What will you create today?

Sending you many blessings and so much love today!

A beautiful creation!

Shifting From Fear and Into Love: Learning to Navigate In 5D

Great love takes great care, and time, to develop and grow. It is like a new baby, a sprout, a tiny blossom, which is protected and cared for, until it is stronger, and fuller, and then it can shine it’s light for all to see, without fear, without judgement; to inspire and protect those who are newer to the path, and also revere those who are further on the path, all the while, calling others to come along, join us in our journey, stay as long as it flows, then move into the next space where you will learn some lessons and have some adventures. Change is the only constant, and energy is about shifting and flowing with what matches it.

These past few weeks have delivered some of my most challenging energies in quite some time. I have cried almost daily, and there was one day where I spent most of my day either in tearful releasing, or meditation. I knew, on one level, that this was something that needed to come up for it to heal. In my personal practice, I have learned that, when you bypass a feeling, and push it away, it will always come back. Feeling and accepting your emotions, is the only way to heal that wound. No amount of meditation, classes, or teachers, can heal those wounds. I have seen a rampant amount of spiritual bypass in the spiritual communities, and the only way to see this in yourself, is to have others reflect it back for you. So, for example, if you perceive that someone “hurt your feelings”, that is a reflection of a wound that you carry. To heal that, and stop attracting those energies, you must step out of the victim mentality. When you hear yourself saying, “Why is this happening TO me?”, stop. Breathe. Close your eyes and repeat to yourself, “Why is this happening FOR me?”, and then observe what comes up for you. Whatever thoughts pop into your head, keep asking that question, and follow that ALLLLLLL the way down the rabbit hole; your wound will eventually show itself. Do not allow fear or Ego to distract you from this quest, it is well worth it, I assure you! In time, and with practice, you will be able to rise completely out of the victim mentality, and this is where you will find all your power.

Be patient and Trust: All is As It Should Be

As I shift, and breathe, and create a new reality for myself, I am learning to trust the process, even when I could easily perceive my situation as bleak, there is always a reason this is happening FOR me. And that is the reality that I choose, without hesitation or fear. Letting go of that which no longer serves me, I am awakening to a magical world, where fear and pain do not steer my boat, and I am able to clearly see my options, which are endless and varied; all I have to do is open my eyes and turn my head to look around.

Many Blessings and Much Love to you all today!

Introducing: The Shambhala Retreat Center

As many of you are aware, I have been birthing a new idea for quite some time. It is beginning to culminate in beautiful and synchronistic ways, and as I work on the website, and the business plan, I am also relocating, and yet; I feel strangely calm and empowered. I have pondered on this new state of mind, and I feel it comes down to one thing: Surrender. I had to let go of all my attachments to relationships, people, things, etc, and just trust that I am Enough, all by myself. As my vision expands, I understand that this is an entirely new concept to most people, and my goal is to make it as gentle and loving as possible. The following is an excerpt from the website content I am working on right now. Enjoy!

The dream of Shambhala began some years ago, with my realization that most of us have no idea why we do most of the things we do. After struggling with relationships, body image, and all things financial, I discovered a path that seemed largely unexplored by most. The tenants in this belief system are so powerful and effective, that I could not help but wonder, “Why does this seem of little interest, when so many could benefit?” The answer lies in the programming that we receive from our time of birth, and throughout our lives. This programming is delivered via mass media; television, music, marketing, and many other subtle, but powerful, ways. In order to deprogram yourself, you must step away from all media and outside influences for a time, in order to gain perspective. This is quite difficult, because all our self worth, happiness, and feel good emotions, are tied up in these programs. As soon as you try to pull away, you are drawn back in with the energetic dependency; it is a type of addiction. Addictions are deeply perpetuated by this program, and our retreats will be focusing a lot on how to overcome this type of energy.

The opportunity we provide for you is just this: A place where you will be totally free of programming inputs, with a staff of qualified professionals who are trained to support you in this new endeavor. Much of our work is built upon “The Four Agreements”, by Don Miguel Ruiz; I highly recommend it. You will be guided gently into this transition, where the tenants of unconditional love and unquestionable intuition await you. We will hold space for you to find your own answers, and assist you in releasing any energy that no longer serves you. You will be given energetic tools which will empower you to do your own work, and release dependencies upon others “healing” you, or doing your work for you.

When it is time for you to depart, it will be with a fresh new perspective on the world, your reality, and how to thrive in spite of all the massive programming you have endured. You will have become aware of common pitfalls, the way we defeat ourselves, and how to shift your focus towards positive transformation and personal power. This is the New Earth.

Your Journey Awaits!

Growing INTO Myself: The Journey of a Thousand Pounds

This morning, I said Goodbye to my favorite shirt. It was a bittersweet moment, the moment in which I stepped in front of the mirror and saw that it was hanging off me. Over the past few years, I have lost about half my body mass; I have no idea how many pounds, or even inches, or sizes, I have shifted. Releasing the weight was simply an energetic shift which took me out of shame and into Acceptance and Joy; for my body, my self, and the energetic being of light that I am. This has been a journey of a lifetime, as I have always struggled with my relationship to gravity, aka how much I weigh. In my 19th year, I was severely anorexic and tried to commit suicide. At the hospital, I weighed in at 97 pounds, and it was required that I see a therapist to leave. This was a wonderful intervention of Spirit to assist me in a lot of emotional healing that was needed. Read more about my suicide experience HERE.

As I healed, and gained back some weight, I was challenged at the feeling of being full, and how that felt uncomfortable to me. It was another long journey onto the other side of the pendulum, and I became overweight, after a heartbreaking 4 miscarriages and finally having a healthy son. I lost the weight again, by going to the gym, “controlling” my eating, and running that program of “work hard, play hard”, or whatever that was at the time. As my divorce was finalized, I was finally back in my regular sized clothing and I needed validation for my looks; then came phase two of “the party years”. I received lots of great validation, and then I became restless and unfulfilled; again. I found a wonderful meditation school , and this was to be the best thing that has happened to me. Over the past 15 years, I have studied meditation, healing modalities far and wide, and developed a private practice where I teach others to use these tools to heal themselves. It is a rewarding and humbling experience, to watch these brave souls reach into their own darkness, and shine the light on the “old box of stuff” in the basement of the psyche. Observing and assisting others on their journey has inspired me so much, and I am grateful to each and every one of my clients.

After my relationship with my “life partner” ended very badly in 2019, I decided to take a year off dating and intimate relationships of any kind, including online, and started focusing on relating to men without using my sexuality; an unconscious pattern I had run for most of my adult life. At first, it was depressing, as most of the men around me disappeared. However, as I persisted and was consistent with my goal, I started attracting different types of masculine energies. I focused on loving myself more, and every time I felt lonely, or that I was “needing” something from a man, I gave it to myself. Before long, I was waking up feeling happy, no matter what was “going on”. I focused on gratitude and my abundance began to come in, as well.

The food and weight thing came as a surprise to me. Even before my partner left, I had begun to eat more raw foods, and a plant based diet. My body gave me clear signals that I was to give up a lot of my old favorites, including sugar, and coffee. I realized that I had a food addiction, and began to see food with a different filter, as life, or an energy giving substance, and after another year, I am now down to one or two small meals per day, with fresh juices and teas throughout the day. I only eat during daylight hours, and begin each day with a sunrise cup of raw cacao, and meditation. I have an active yoga practice and walk or hike as the weather allows. Walking barefoot on the Earth is a large component of resetting my nervous system, and I practice this daily, as well. I have a few close relationships, but I spend much of my time alone, in meditation, or working on my various projects and passions.

Saying goodbye to my old clothing is profoundly symbolic to me, on many levels, as you can see. As I shed my layers of energetic protection, and lean into the light, and feel comfortable in my own vibration/skin, I allow IN the frequencies which I was born to connect with, and find that they have been waiting for me just outside my limited bubble of programs and beliefs, which I felt was “my life”, for so long.

You have the power within you, every single one of you, to shift into a new dimension, if you choose. But with the understanding that: True Change Requires You to Let Go of Everything and Everyone who Is important to you. Release Attachment and allow the flow to guide you.

Wishing you all a very blessed and beautiful day! I love you!

Earthing is a regular part of my lifestyle

3 Things I Learned From 2020: The Best and Worst Year of My Life

When I tell people that 2020 was an amazing year for me, they usually laugh and think I am joking. But every once in a while, someone will lean in and whisper, “Me too!” and it brings joy to my heart. We don’t have to continue to validate each other’s misery by denying our own joy. In many ways, it would be easy for me to say that 2020 was also the worst year of my life. If I focused on all the things that I lost, or relationships that were terminated, or the money that never came, I could be depressed and anxious. But, I do not choose this reality for myself; I choose to love myself the way that I would support and love one of you.

Everything is a Blessing or a Lesson

My car was totaled 2 weeks before the lockdowns started. My oldest son had come for a visit and, I tell people, it was like the harshest game of musical chairs; we were locked in together for a year. Who were you with when the music stopped? How did that work out? Yeah, me too. It was rough, and I retreated into my office, and learned to live in a corner of the house, where I meditated and did yoga, in an attempt to work through the energy. Soon after that, my private practice became almost non existent, and I had a lot of time to focus on myself. At first, it was hard, to feel stuck without a car, in a house with someone who had the opposite set of beliefs, but he is my son, and I love him, so I can’t just walk away. We avoided each other for as long as possible, but in the end, I decided it was time to forge ahead, and speak my truth; I mean, nothing could be worse than the awkward greetings and fake smiles.

I began to speak out and up, and the conversations were intense, and I lost my space countless times, but what I learned was the diamond, the shiny coin at the bottom, I learned to be strong in my beliefs, and hold my space, even with men who are invalidating me, one of my core pictures. I am so grateful to him for helping me with this, that the tables have turned, and we are starting to enjoy talking to each other! I can validate myself, no matter what others say, or think, of me. I am learning to apply this new energy principle to my relationships with others, and practicing kindness and compassion in my communications. I have been called to the colors of blue and green a lot lately, so, using the chakra color chart, I am learning to speak my truth from my heart.

Enjoying Being Alone

As long as I can remember, I have been an extrovert. I craved being around other people, and nothing was better than a large group of like minded individuals, focused on the same goal. As I got older, I started to shy away from large crowds, and still enjoyed people, but in smaller groups, more intimate gatherings. One year, I had a New Year’s Eve party, and the house was crammed with people, and it was awesome, but also very overwhelming; that was the last giant party I threw. I became aware of how, every time we interact with someone else, however brief, we exchange energy with them. If you are unaware of this, and how to stop it, or clear it, it will start to manifest as illness and disease in the body. Energy is the thing that keeps us alive, so, when we allow it to be diluted with lower vibrational substances, and situations, we start to feel tired, sick, and sad, to name a few. Over the past few years, I have noticed that I like to spend more and more time by myself. When the lockdowns hit, I was almost glad; this meant I could spend a lot more time alone. That thought rocked me; I suddenly realized that I had broken free of the label, and came back to my true nature, which is a balance between introvert and extrovert. Neither is better than the other, and you can vacillate between the two, from time to time. Labels are the way we create agreements with other people, groups of people, and society.

After a year of lockdowns, I am ready to be around people, and I look forward to the New Earth that we are creating. My vision for the future is coming together, in an Earthbag Community and Retreat Center. IN this community, we will adhere to the Four Agreements Philosophy, and everyone will be encouraged to take as much alone time as they need, but there is also a community available. We will honor each other’s truth, and our own.

Minimalist Living

As I have been living in a corner of my house for the past year, I began to realize that I have entirely too much “stuff”, and space, than I need. I started to feel the need to go through my closets, and gave a lot of things away. I felt the need to clear out and sell some of my larger pieces of furniture, as I prefer sitting on the floor, anyway. I have reduced the amount of food I eat, by about a third, maybe less. I feel I could easily live off the land, if it came to it, and that gives me comfort. The Earth has everything we need, growing on and in it. If we can get back to tuning in to our bodies, and trusting our intuition, we will connect with the great abundance that this planet has to offer. It does not require fancy machines, nice clothes, a large bank balance, or a cupboard stocked full of “food”. It is all offered to you from the Earth, barefoot upon her surface, face to the Sun, with an open heart, and mind. This is the Age of Aquarius, my warriors. Let us rise and meet her!

Abundant Blessings to You All Today!

The Need to be Needed: A Painful Cycle

One of the messages that I have been receiving a lot lately, is that we have been participating in a massive societal agreement which has brought us much pain and unhappiness. This is the cycle of Codependency, the need to be needed. We reach out and “check on” each other, all in the name of “being a good person”, and “caring about others”; in reality, this is simply a distraction from us caring about ourselves. We solve other people’s problems so we don’t have to look at ours. It is a failing agreement, since ultimately, you can never stay in denial for too long, no matter how much you try, because you are an evolutionary being, and you are instinctively trying to reach the surface, find your inner peace and love, nirvana.

One of the most destructive pieces of this pattern, is the absolute disempowerment of each other. When you text a friend, “I wanted to check on you”, you are actually communicating to them, unconsciously, that they are incapable, and inept, and they are not capable of dealing with their own lives. I like to encourage people, when you have the urge to try to “fix” someone else, go within, and ask how you could use that energy within your own healing cycle. Find the pain in YOU, and then use your energy to heal yourself. I feel, if we all did this a lot more, we could then come together in community and celebration, instead of anger and pain.

The other piece of this agreement that is so damaging, in the long run, is that you ultimately draw people to you who are in need of “fixing”, or, not feeling able to heal themselves, and one day you find yourself the only one standing, all your companions depend heavily on you, and you have no one left to lean on. It’s depressing and exhausting, so then you trot off to the pharmacy, or lean into another addiction, and you become apathetic, resolute to your fate of “always having to take care of everyone”, and you feel like a martyr, even though you created the whole thing, so you can be needed. See how that cycle happens?

In my private sessions, many clients are working on releasing old shame and pain, and so this cycle comes up a lot for updating and closing up agreements. As more of us do this type of work, the energies will shift. We can all feel joyful and abundant, if we only believe that we can. It’s all about tricking yourself into believing something for JUST long enough that it starts to happen. It’s a vibration, a frequency, that you only need tune into.

Many Blessings to you all today! I love you!

A snowy sunrise is such serene beauty

New Year's Eve 2020: Energy Update

Frank and I are wishing you all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Take time to enjoy the simple life

In these uncertain times, it is more important than ever to slow down, release any need to control, and connect with nature. Keeping your vibration high will help you to ride the waves of energy which are varying widely from one sun cycle to the next. When you are in harmony with nature, your body and mind can much more easily attune itself to the changing vibration; meaning, you will feel better. This is why many who are on this path, the lightworkers and healers of our time, crave being outside, the companionship of animals, and are feeling led to a plant based diet.

Healing Agreements: Are you in one?

When I first learned about Energy Agreements, I was floored; it seemed that every one of my friendships was actually a healing agreement! Taking on each other’s energy, aka: “Helping”, although certainly well intentioned, is not a sustainable relationship dynamic. Healing ourselves from the inside out, and THEN sharing our love with others from a place of love and authenticity; those are the relationships I wish to create. Watch this short video about how to shift your awareness and release yourself from these agreements which ultimately strip everyone involved of their personal power; subsequently ending the connection, sometimes in a very difficult way. Let’s shift this!

Energy Vampires: How to Deal

Do you find yourself drained after hanging out with certain people? This is a concept known as Energy Vampiring; or, taking energy from someone else. We have ALL done it, or are currently doing it. It is a societal program that we have practiced for many decades, and it isn’t working…..AT ALL!!!!!

Watch this short video on how to step out of this matrix program and free yourself!

Have you heard the term "Energy Vampire"? Let's talk about how to step out of THAT program :) Subscribe, Like, and Share Please! Join me for Meditation Monda...

Meditation vs Medication

Let me begin by saying that I am not a medical doctor, nor do I intend to ever give you medical advice. I am simply offering a different perspective; hopefully, this will be of assistance to you.

My father was a medical professional, and he was a great man. Growing up, we were given medication when we were not feeling well, and had our vaccines faithfully. My aversion to cow milk turned into a full blown allergy by the time I was 10. And so the story goes for another 10 years, when I moved out to California, at the age of 21. There, I connected with an acupuncturist, and stopped taking all prescription medication, because it was not needed. Over the years, I have practiced homeopathy, acupuncture, herbalism, chiropractic, and many other alternative care options. When I discovered meditation, I was 40 years old; thus began a new chapter in my book of health. I learned how to heal myself energetically, and then I learned how to prevent illness by moving the energy out of my space before it became illness or disease. I stopped seeing my wonderful acupuncturist and have taught these tools to my sons, and clients, throughout the years. We have all enjoyed excellent health and increased happiness, using these tools.

You may be skeptical, and I understand that; please allow me to elaborate. We are living in a very special time on the planet, if you haven’t spent time with Dolores Cannon, find her and watch her stuff, read her books, she is so on target with all this. A huge shift in consciousness is occurring, and if you don’t know what that means, all you have to do is watch the news to see that the world is in uproar, and chaos. We are living a Revolution, and it is more important that ever to stay as positive and compassionate as you can, to keep the vibration high.

Medication is defined, for my purposes, by anything that alters your brain or body chemistry enough to mask or suppress your body’s early warning system. Plant medicine, such as cannabis or mushrooms, can be very useful but only in certain circumstances, and not if abused for reasons of escapism or bypassing. Alcohol and food are some examples of substances which have been grossly abused to suppress and bypass emotions and energies which may be uncomfortable for us to deal with. It is certainly human nature to gravitate towards things that feel good, and that is also perhaps our greatest challenge in this timeline. The vibration of the planet, The Schumann Resonance, has been hitting record highs, and this means that the lower vibrations, such as shame and fear, are being eradicated from the planet. Maybe your soul contract is up; there is not a way of really knowing that, and we do not know what other people’s soul contracts are, so the only way to live is to be as present as you can. When the difficult feelings or energies come up for you to look at, and you immediately turn away, you are missing the lesson; thus, it will repeatedly knock on your door until you open up and let it in. That’s the only way to release it.

Meditation is defined, again for my purposes, as observing your thoughts. This can happen in many ways, and it is not required that you sit in the lotus position and circle up your fingers. Meditation is a vehicle for you to become an observer of your own life, so that you can find a neutral vantage point from which to release your pictures/energies. From here, you can also start to create consciously, and as you release patterns and other subconscious sabotage, you will find that your life is flowing and easy. When you are pursuing a life of following your passions and being in the flow, everything feels easy and is flowing well. When you hit resistance, this means you are stuck, you have fallen out of the flow. Finding neutrality is key here; for this is the only way you will be able to get back into the flow. It is also important to remember that you will not always be in flow, and this gives you an opportunity to develop patience and be grateful for the flow when you ARE in it.

So the next time you are feeling energetically depleted, and you want to reach for that candy, to numb that pain, stop and get grounded. Go here for my 4 minute grounding meditation, or search for one; there are so many good choices. Food is grounding, so if you have spent your life using it that way, it might take a bit of time to reverse that pattern. Soon, you will be able to trust your intuition to tell you when you are truly hungry, and you will soon find that your food addiction is gone. You can use this technique with any addiction, though some may be harder than others. Make sure you have support from someone who is truly neutral and has worked through their own addictions before they try to help you with yours.

Many Blessings to you all today! Andrea

Unconditional Love: What does it mean to you?

Over the past weeks, I have been pondering the meaning of unconditional love. In the last few years of my journey, I have spoken about love, as our originating source, as well as a goal to attain in every area of my life. I thought I knew what love was, but recently, I have come into a whole new understanding of this energy. Love, in the purest sense, is a frequency, an energy where you simply ARE. To BE in love is to BE present and grateful for all that you have been given, and all that you are. This flows naturally into the way you view others, and situations which present themselves.

Today happens to be Christmas Day, and for the first time in many years, I am looking forward to spending time with my family and friends. For many years, I lived in California, divorced and broke, not able to come back to Arkansas; and not really wanting to, in all honesty. My relationship with my family has been a wound for me, a vicious, gaping wound that festered and reopened on a regular basis. I took a 3 year break from all contact; and I was called back when my father was on his deathbed. I am forever grateful to all my soul family who assisted me in reconnecting with my birth family. I was determined to put the past behind me and move forward in love. I was welcomed back with open arms and grateful hearts all around, and my mother and I have actually become close, and it thrills me to realize that I actually enjoy spending time with her. My core belief that “everyone is doing their best” has led me to compassion and deep forgiveness for myself, and all perceived slights, against my younger self. I have delved deeply into my inner child wounds, and shifted out of the victim consciousness that plagued me for so much of my life. I stopped taking things personally and gained a fresh new perspective.

Unconditional love is absent of judgment or expectation. When you judge someone for their actions, and place a label on them, such as “They are mean”, you are reacting to an energy that they are reflecting in you. The same can be said for expectation, as a wise friend once said, “Expectations lead to disappointment”. You are setting yourself, and the other person, up for failure, and this leads to judgment, and places you squarely back into the victim mentality. Next time you feel angry with someone, step back and take a deep breath. Ask yourself if you are reacting to an expectation that you feel they did not meet. Are you judging them, thinking they are purposely doing something to hurt you? Start small, such as when you are driving and someone cuts you off. When you feel that familiar anger flare up, repeat the mantra; they are doing their best. Have you ever unintentionally cut someone off? Have you made mistakes and not understood expectations? Change your perspective and realize that we are all operating from a place of trying to be happy and get our needs met, the best we know how.

I promise you that we are all doing the best we can with the information we have. Find compassion for your fellow humans and you will soon find true unconditional love. I love you all!
