Where are you Going?

This past weekend we had a new moon with a solar eclipse.  The energy continues for the next few days and this is actually the best time to set your intentions for the next month.  

This is a time when anything can happen and we may not even realize what a big change has occurred until weeks later.  This is a time to really take care of yourself and let the storm swirl around you.  Stay calm in the eye and watch the craziness unfold but don't jump in.

I love these times as it is when shift you have been hoping will happen can occur.  I always feel like I am in control of whether I step into the shift or if I let it pass me by.  When I am bored or unhappy with my life I take the plunge but if everything is good I just watch it pass by.  

Therefore this energy never scares me, it is just a door opening that I can walk through or not.  Having the option of a big change is always nice.  It either shows me that my world is too small and I need to shake it up or gives me gratitude for how good things are and that I don't want it to change. 

To consider what changes you may need try this guided meditation.  Read through the meditation and then close your eyes and remember what you can.  Whatever direction your meditation goes in is exactly right for you.

Take a few deep breaths and close your eyes.  Find yourself sitting on a porch swing.   Sit quietly for just a moment.  Hear the relaxing sounds around you and feel the warm breeze.  Although this place feels very peaceful you can feel the potent energy all around you. 

You intuitively know that this swing is a portal through time.  With each swing a year will pass and then allow you to meet with your future self from that year.

Take some time to decide how far in the future you want to go and when you are ready begin to swing.  The landscape changes rapidly around you with each swing and you know you are moving quickly.  When you are done stop swinging. 

After a short wait you hear footsteps and your future self appears.  What questions do you have for this future version of who you may become?  Don't worry if you receive unsettling news.  This is just one possible future and they may have come to warn you so you can avoid this outcome.  Ask about their life.  Ask how they came to be where they are in life.  Ask what is most important to them.  Ask what suggestions they would give you.  Ask anything you can think of that you would like to know and that would give you guidance. 

Take whatever information is given.  It may not be entirely clear and may take further thought or journaling.  When you have asked all of your questions you may ask if they have anything they want to tell you.  Thank this version of yourself and they rise and walk away.

When you are ready, a few more swings will return you to the current time.  Begin to hear the sounds around your physical body.  Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you feel ready, open your eyes.

Take some time to write down some notes after this meditation.  This will help you process what you received in the meditation and remember what you learned.

What did you learn from your guide?


Where do you need to focus on what you want?


How did you feel about your guide?


What did your guide show you that you haven't seen?


Did your guide help you choose a new path or to stay on the current path?


How can you support yourself on this path?


These moon cycles are reminders to make conscious decision in our life.  Know where you want to go and take incremental steps in the right direction.  This is hard work and you should be proud you take this time for reflection.

Seasonal Shift

The energy is changing.  Can you feel it?  I don't know if it is just the time of the year but when the sun begins to wake me up at a reasonable time in the morning (for me it is 7:00 AM) then everything shifts.  My energy renews and I see the light at the end of winter's tunnel.

This is when my ideas start percolating.  I am actually trying to force myself not to start anything major yet.  This is partially due to getting over an illness (I think my body was telling me I was doing too much for this quiet time of the year and forced me to STOP) but also because it just isn't time yet.  I need to let these ideas marinate for a while so what finally comes forth will be READY. 

Let me know if you are feeling any of the same energies.  Here are some questions to ponder at this time.  If you struggle with the answers, relax, close your eyes and sit with one of your guides in meditation.  You can ask them these questions or just talk them out.

What change do you feel ready to make?


What new feeling is growing in you?


How can you refuel before these changes occur?


What lesson are you revisiting?


Congratulations on taking this time to plan your path instead of just letting life happen to you!  If you would like more guidance check out my journals and relaxation recordings on Amazon: Click Here

Enjoy these moments of transition!

Choose Your Path

We are now more than one month into the new year.  That may not seem like much but I find it is vitally important to recalibrate your direction on a regular basis.  If not, you find that you have been miserable for a long time and never even noticed, or that everything is wonderful and that you haven’t really been appreciating it.  I have been at both places.

If you find you aren’t happy or heading in the direction you want to go, this is the time to start changing gears.  Start spending more time and focus on what you really want instead of what you think you should be doing.  Life passes quickly and while we don’t all have to make radical changes all the time, we do need to make sure we move incrementally closer to where we want to be every day.

Sometimes major changes need to be made, at least in the way we are looking at a situation and this may be the time for one of those shifts.   Try this guided meditation to help gauge if a change needs to made, and where to go.

Read through the meditation and then close your eyes and remember what you can.  Let your meditation head in whatever direction feels right to you.

Take a deep breath and close your eyes.  Find yourself in a valley with lush green hills on either side of you.  There is a clear straight path that lies ahead of you and leads through the flat terrain of the valley. 

To your left is a winding trail that gradually leads up to the top of the hill on your left.  To your right leads a steep trail up the right hand hill.  It looks tough but fast and would entail some climbing over rocks.

Try not to make a conscious decision about which path to take.  Does one path seem brighter or more enticing?  If you just start walking do your feet head for a certain path?  If you spin around with your eyes closed what path do you face?

Begin to walk down your chosen path for a few steps.  Then stop and look around.  Does your path still feel right?  What do you expect to find on this path?  What do you hope to gain from this path?  If you feel the need to return and try another path, go ahead and then ask the same questions. 

Continue to walk down your path a bit further and fully commit yourself to this road.  There will be other paths to choose farther along but for now be confident in the path you are currently taking.

When you feel ready, start to hear the sounds around your physical body, wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes.

Before you have a chance to leave the feeling of this meditation, write down at least some brief notes about the following.

What do these paths make you think of in your current life? (The path may only apply to one area, romance, career, spirituality, etc.)

Why do you think you ended up on the path you did?

Does the type of path chosen equate with a certain action or thought for you?

Be very proud of yourself for taking this time.  It is easy to get focused on dealing with emergencies and never take the time to make sure you are headed in the right direction.  If you would like more direction check out my Journals on Amazon: Click Here.

Time of Growth

We are now entering the time of the year when we begin to focus on how we would like our life to change this year.  With Imbolc on the 1^st of February we leave the time of shadow in the Northern Hemisphere. 

What ideas and dreams have been stirring in your mind over the long winter days?  It is now time to sort through them. 

What dreams is merely a fantasy?

What dream is it finally time to move forward with?

What dream are you ready to let go of?

What dream do you want to nourish?

What would help support this dream?

If you would like to work together to sort through these Imbolc questions for the next year check out my Esty page or contact me to schedule a Skype Counseling session.

Seeds of Transformation

With the first of February we move out of the time of introspection.  It may still be cold where you are but this is when we start to think of the Spring.  The days are noticeably getting longer in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Spring is when we begin to plant the seeds of what we want to have change this year. 

How do you want to feel differently this year?

What steps can you take to allow you to feel this way more often?

What can you stop doing that prevents you from feeling the way you want to?

For further guidance this month consider the following suggestions for each day of the month.  How can each statement or question change the way you look at that day?  How would you act differently if this was true?  Open your mind to a new way of looking at that day.
