Healing from the Past Few Years... with Spiritual Guidance

Dear ascending one,

It sure is an interesting time to be alive.

In my life, things are quite busy. Just last week, I had a lovely time with many of you in the Intuition Myth-Busting class. It was a new format of just talking with you and answering your questions, and I really enjoyed it (some of the questions really kept me on my toes)! I hope it was helpful for you as well.

Sometimes there are so many things going on in my head that I wonder how I manage to keep track of it all. (One thing that is new are my updated logo colors! Thank you to my gifted friend Erica Pearl for helping me with them.)

To stay centered, every morning I walk out into the woods with my dog, near a stream and stretch, give thanks and invite in light. It is such a grounding practice that keeps me centered and helps me feel that everything is okay.

I have needed to do this practice more than ever in the past 3 1/2 years. These were some of the most difficult for many of us. 

Like many of you, I went through phases of disbelief, anger, sadness, shock.... all the stages of grief. I spent a lot of time in the Akashic Records trying to understand what was occurring and how I could be and cope with something that was so bewildering. 

Upon reflecting back, I see how much I personally have learned and grown. I have spent a lot of time thinking and talking privately with friends about how to heal and move forward as a collective with such differing opinions at such a high stake as human life. For a while I thought that talking about it and processing it more publicly with a group, even among those who do not feel the same, might help us all. But that approach didn't seem to be right. (Maybe it will someday, I hope.)

I'm honestly not sure of what the path to healing looks like for us humans here on Earth. But I do know that, to me at least, it feels like unconditional love, forgiveness, and compassion for others (and ourselves) and practicing that in as many small moments as possible. This can be difficult to do when we have felt so hurt. And yet, love is the only way out of this - rising above the past and just letting it go. Not waiting for apologies (although offering an apology might be a good idea, even if it's not required) ... just forgiving.

I repeatedly received the guidance to "rise above" in the Akashic Records but at first I didn't understand how to live this way, or what it meant to rise above. I didn't really know what it looked like to let something go in my daily life.

(To help invite in this vibration, I will be doing the free Circle of Light meditation this Wednesday evening, April 24th from 8-8:20 pm on Practicing Unconditional Love, here on Zoom. Come join!)

But I kept asking, and I would receive bits of guidance, mostly from the Masters/Council of Elders. But I also would hear from Jesus, one of my primary guides, and also from my grandfather and other ancestors helping me navigate family dynamics.

Since then, I have helped many clients heal in this way as well. Some of you similarly may be wondering how to navigate all the energies around you, relationships with others and just the intensity of what feels like is coming at us constantly in the world. (Hint: be careful of how much you read the news!) 

If you want to tap into loving forms of higher guidance, but you aren't sure how to connect, you may find it helpful to focus on developing your intuition. There are many ways to do this. Some of these are:

1) meditation to learn to receive Divine information while quieting the conscious mind

2) clear fears/doubts/limiting beliefs with targeted writing exercises, meditations and cognitive approaches

3) learn more about how to align with the vibration of Spirit through light, prayer, intention and yes, even imagination

4) begin to read your own Akashic Records to receive powerful guidance on your soul purpose, life lessons, past lives and even connect with deceased loved ones.

5) learn some quick visualization exercises on how to open your third eye

We will do all of this together in an upcoming 5-week online class I’m offering, called Intuition Development 101.

It’s a class that meets once a week for 2 hours on a Monday evening, live on Zoom. You’ll have a chance to work on writing exercises to tackle the protective Ego, participate in guided meditations to meet various forms of Spirit and even enter your own Akashic Records in the classes.

For this class series, I am happy to offer a "Pay from the Heart" option as a way to make this work more financially accessible to whoever wants to partake. This option is good through this Thursday, April 25th. Please reach out with any questions!

Thank you for walking this journey with me, and for your courage in all that you do each day in your life.

With a deep bow,


Rachel

The Light Within the Darkness of the Eclipse

I am basking in the wonder from the total solar eclipse here in Maine. I keep replaying the moments of darkness in my mind, and the pure emotion I felt of such gratitude and awe of the magic the sun and moon displayed for us. I am still processing it all, but I will share a picture here for those of you who may have not witnessed this spectacle. The energies are still here for us to integrate... whether we saw it with our eyes our not. 

I feel that the energies of the solar eclipse and all around us in general are helping us to open our third eye - to begin tapping into unseen, Divine forces, like the celestial elements, here to guide us. (Did you know all that seven planets were visible in the sky, in alignment with the Sun, on April 8?) 

Some of the ancient peoples living on Earth years ago similarly were frightened of and confused by this darkness, and would avoid going outside during solar eclipses.

And yet now, we have learned so much more about what is happening. We now know the darkness is temporary. 

Maybe this can apply to our own lives. What if by acknowledging the shadows we can actually bring in more light?

So many of us have been in the darkness in our lives for many years. Many of us were taught to fear God due to religious programming.

And this fear led us to block out the Divine light of our own Higher Selves trying to guide us along.

This has led to a feeling of being lost and "off the path" for so many in our modern society, unsure of what our purpose is or what will bring fulfillment or meaning in our lives.

I hear this from so many clients seeking support to reconnect with their souls. And time and time again, I recommend a few things to them that I will also suggest to you here.

Begin by quieting your minds and clearing away the protective shadows of Ego (after acknowledging and processing) to allow your third eye to open even more. Then, by intentionally connecting with loving forms of Spirit, you can activate you intuitive knowing to help guide you forward in your life.

And yet, if this were all so simple, why aren't we all waking up each day with a knowing of what our deepest soul purpose is, and how to take the steps to actualize it?

It's also because there's often fear. And this fear comes from pre-conceptions, stories or myths that we have heard about what it means to develop psychic ability, or intuition. 

When we take the time to really examine these false stories, we can begin to move past them and into taking brave steps forward to listen to our Higher Selves, and to our angels, spirit guides and even multi-dimensional beings (like Pleaidians or Arcturians) who are here to help us in our lives. These loving friends are all connected to the Creator/Source/God.

It's a beautiful process that takes time, but I have seen it happen and produce a wonderful new way of living in alignment with flow, peace and trust for lots of people I've worked with! 

And in the meantime, I hope that today, wherever you are, you give yourself some time after the eclipse to pause, integrate and allow the darkness to guide you toward the light.

The Energy of Earth and the Eclipse

Dear human alive in these activation times,

This past week we were in California visiting relatives. The coastline of California is truly stunning... moving amongst redwoods to the ocean crashing against the cliffs is a humbling experience. Even though the trip was busy seeing cousins, aunts, uncles and friends, I took some time to go inward and connect in with the elements of the Earth and her creatures.
 
We have the opportunity to open our hearts to the Earth in this month of April. The planet Mercury is in retrograde right on the heels of a total solar eclipse passing through much of the United States (including right here in Maine!). With all this powerful soul activation energy, we are being asked to go inward, to reflect and to respect the Earth more deeply than ever before.
 
I was reminded of this during our trip this past week.
 
The towering redwood trees (some around for over 2,000 years, here when Jesus walked the Earth!) reminded me of the wise, ancient energy in the rocks of Stonehenge. Their messages to me were that they have seen many things on the planet, and they are grateful that humans are now understanding how to work in harmony with Mother Earth, rather than taking from or harming her.
 
Then, as we went out to sea near the Channel Islands, hundreds of dolphins swam with our boat, frolicking and whizzing along. They reminded us to find joy in life, and to play.
 
Yet the most powerful connection I felt was with the whales – first a gray whale migrating to Alaska and then a few humpback whales we followed for a while. As they were under the surface near the boat, I linked in with their hearts. The messages they shared with me were that humans are getting ready to receive the light-codes that the whales and dolphins, as holders of the Akashic Records of the history of Earth, have to offer us. And this upcoming solar eclipse on April 8th will serve as an “upgrade” of sorts, allowing us to embody higher frequencies as we move into elevated states of consciousness. This is a 5th Dimensional guided meditation on accessing our Higher Selves to help us move into expanded states of consciousness, in alignment with the Earth.
 
If you can make it into the path of totality for the eclipse this coming Monday, I highly encourage you to do so! I was able to see a total solar eclipse in the Wyoming in 2017, and it was surreal. I believe that each time we witness a cosmic event such as these, we are more deeply aligning with our galactic, multi-dimensional selves and with our indigenous ancestors who understood how to align with the stars.
 
This is truly a magical time we are living in. And, to more deeply attune to the Earth and her creatures, and to the messages they have for you, you may want to check out the Intuition Development 101 Class series (5 classes meeting online starting early May) to fully open your third eye, clear away fear and begin to receive healing information to guide you in any aspect of life.

With blessings to you as always,


Rachel

P.S. I am so excited to now be a "Certified Master Trainer" in hypnotherapy with the IMDHA/IACT hypnotherapy association. Stay tuned for a hypnotherapy certification program I'll be offering soon. I can't wait!
