Just a quick note to introduce you to my favorite line of chakra teas

Author’s Note:  The following post was inspired by questions asked of me by Albert Foong of the Urban Monk.  Thank you Albert for your questioning and seeking of the Truth

On Halloween or Samhain there is a belief that remains constant regardless of how you may celebrate the holiday - this is the understanding that on October 31st - the veils that typically keep us from seeing the world of energy and spirit and keep us firmly rooted in our 3rd dimensional reality grow thin even for those who typically don’t experience such things.

In ages past, it was also thought that this made people particularly vulnerable to negative entities who use this unaccustomed sight to generate and feed off of the fear energy of the those unlucky enough to encounter them.

This kind of thinking still survives, only now it lives in the collective subconscious mind where it mostly remains out of sight and unnoticed until something stimulates it into action.

So let me stimulate you by talking about the biggest beastie of them all - Lucifer himself.  When it comes to fear-based promotion, this guy has got a great publicist - after all what could be more terrifying than the very personification of evil itself?

So who is he and what does he really want?

The answer is simple.  Lucifer is an Archangel who was given a pathway to become one of humanities greatest teachers.  Stay with me now…

Why?

Because within our evolution came a time when our third energy center became very active within us. We moved up from the level of survival and simple pleasures and now were beginning to understand that we could influence and impact the world and situations around us. We could bend nature and others to our will.  As a result, individuality began to step forward above the group or collective thinking and as it began to take over the control booth a funny thing happened…we fell into judgment.

Now during this time the lower energy centers were in control - and we basically operated from two principles - moving away from pain or moving toward pleasure.  Only now there was another element getting mixed in -  what we believed would get us pleasure (or what I call projected into the future pleasure) - and this thing came to be called desire or what I want.  Soon all things pleasurable became good, anything that promoted our sense of will was good and anything that stood in the way of it was bad.

We chose this method of learning so that we could fully experience our individual impact on the whole.  In the Archangelic realms - plans were made to support us in this learning so that we could fully explore our own power and impact through our third energy center.

The Archangelic realms mirrored our internal split - many of the Angels were assigned to be space holders for Divine energies to support us in understanding and finding our way back to Oneness.  Others, were given the job of taking on negative energies in order to mirror to us our learning choices.  These were called by history - fallen angels - however they are merely high level dark teachers wearing masks.

So who is the Devil really?

He is the essence of Duality - a paradox - he is everything scary and he is everything Light.  The best way to consider it is through the concept of a spectrum - what you see and experience of him is determined by the vibration you are humming along at when you encounter him.

If you meet up with him when you are in a vibration of fear - he’s the scariest thing on cloven feet you’ve ever seen.  From the vibration of unconditional love he is the Angel of Light - the most beautiful of Archangels - the one who sang over the throne of God.

Some angels hold the space of Light,  fallen angels have followed us down into the darkness and will not come back until we all choose the light - this is how much they love us.

Lucifer’s job is to reflect to us the darkness that lives in our hearts - so that we may choose to live in love - this is what he does.  In order to do this he has to stay rooted in Source - otherwise it would be an impossibility to be meet us at each level within the spectrum.

What is he like?

I checked in with Lucifer to have a little chat before writing this post.  He is very funny!  As you can imagine he is also very charming.  I like him a lot.  It IS difficult to maintain the vibration necessary to see him as the angel of light rather than something of darkness as it requires you to consciously disconnect from the collective belief system and several times during the our conversation I was prompted to raise my vibration.  Like I said, it’s not easy - but it can be done!

His message is that he is really working FOR you.

He really appreciates anyone who can see him through the eyes of love as it is such a rare treat!  When you realize that Lucifer is really working FOR you rather than against you - what on Earth is there to possibly be afraid of???

So my dears, be Light-based tonight.  Enter your heart centers, open your seventh chakra’s, raise your vibrations and have yourself a wonderfully fun and Happy Halloween!

Last week I had a conversation with Source and the Angels that has changed my life.  I matter of factly told them I was done with illusion that I only wanted to live in Divine Truth and to - Bring it on!!!

I’ve been warned that I might want to use a little caution with this kind of enthusiastic statement - however, I am not a very cautious Spiritual Seeker

Well Source said, “O.K.” and it has been a pretty wild ride ever since!

This next story is a teaching about how we can take a step beyond forgiveness with the people that have hurt us most in life.

I was a fly on the wall observing a meeting most of us are unaware even occurs.  Here in this room sat my Higher Self,  Source the Archangels and my Guides discussing life lessons and hiring participants with whom I would dance in my current incarnation.  The candidates were reviewed according to the level of complement for what each Soul was working on - and that turned out to be quite the detailed process.

“What am I observing?” I whispered to Archangel Gabriel.  He simply smiled and said, “The truth”.

I returned my gaze to the meetings before me and a Soul I recognized came forward and was asked if he would be willing to play a role in the life situation displaying before him.  His gaze was cast toward a screen - I turned to watch with him and saw his beautiful Soul willingly take on a negativity that instantly transformed him from the very presence of beauty to something slinking in the darkness.

“Are you willing to play this part?” he was asked by the council.  “Are you willing to take this job in order to help the One before you evolve during it’s incarnation?”

“Yes.” he said gazing at me with such Love that my heart nearly burst - tears wet his eyes and with this answer he accepted the mission.

I began to cry tears of gratitude - it never occurred to me that we could be so loved and so supported by other Souls that they would be willing turn themselves into something despised by others in order to help move us toward our Highest Path and Purpose.

“Gabriel” I said, “is this the true Nature of Darkness.”  “Yes.” He said, “Even the Dark Teachers work for the Light - they simply take a different path to get there.”

When I consider the Dark Teachers in my life (the people I’ve encountered who’ve pushed me to grow with the energies of pain or fear) I’m now grateful for the lessons they taught me - because I understand what it must have taken for them to move themselves out of the Light and into extremely low vibrational energy in order to aid me with my life lessons.  Only the greatest kind of Love and Authority can produce Courage of this nature - and I find myself wondering if I have what it takes to make that kind of sacrifice?  I’ve certainly changed my mind about a lot of things due to this experience and I now know that Dark Teachers are more evolved than most of us believe

I’ve also come to recognize that along the way I made the decision that I no longer wanted to learn through darkness in my life.  I realized that I had an option and that I was drawing negative learning experiences to myself because at that time - I believed that I needed them.  That all ended when I chose to create positive learnings instead.

When we as a collective decide we no longer need darkness as a vehicle through which to receive our lessons and experiences - the Dark Teachers will be able to take off their costumes and return to the Light

Maybe it’s a strange idea that they are here because we want them to be here - but I think it makes sense…afterall we ARE that powerful!

I haven’t been posting this week due to the profundity of my most recent experiences. I made a vow to focus my energy and intent on my personal relationship with Source and the Beings of Light that assist me in life and when I try to write about what has happened over the last week, all words seem to fall short of an accurate description.

One of these experiences however, I feel compelled to share, whether or not the words I use here fall short of actually conveying to you the magnitude of the process to which I was participant and witness.

The Archangel Gabriel has been working with me in a very personal way this week. He has shown me processes, systems, worked with me on illusions and abundance to name a few. I often do energy balancing on the treadmill, but this week I have been doing a lot more than usual. The balancing I do happens both before and during my workout and this day was no exception. I worked out and had a particularly enlightening session with Gabriel, St. Mary and St. Germain - I left the gym with my vibration so high, feeling so balanced that what happened next nearly threw me for a loop.

I returned from the work out, ate lunch and knelt before my alter - starting a conversation with Source. Immediately, I felt an extremely heavy, dark weight come up from the depths of my chest. It hurt, it was constricting and I was forced to double over with it. Immediately, I began to see it emerge from the depths of my being and form a ball in my heart chakra. Gabriel was instantly beside me and I asked him about this black sphere. He told me that it was my share of all the toxicity that I have created on this earth since my first incarnation on this planet.

At this point I began to cry for her - Oh, Mama - I’m sorry - I sobbed.  It was at that moment that I felt the magnitude of it - of my own unconsciousness over the course and history of my Soul.

I turned to Gabriel and asked, What do I do with this? He replied, You make a different choice. Within seconds I knew what I needed to do. I chose to take this from the earth and give her something she could use in it’s place - I did not know how I would do it - Source provided me grace though and that was all I needed.

Gabriel held the dark sphere in the space of Divine truth for me and I passed it to the Archangel Michael. Michael used the blue fire of God to purify it - until it was ablaze with Divine Light. At that point the torch was passed to the Archangel Raphael who brought it to a state of balance and wholeness - infusing it with his green/gold light. From there it went to Uriel who filled it with the vibration of Divine Love and then on to Ariel, who with the greatest of compassion, showered the earth with this new revitalizing energy.

I felt the lightness immediately as the ball transformed and my vibration soared even higher still. Gabriel, I said, thank you.

I now understand an aspect of spiritual abundance that was previously lost on me. It’s the greatest recycling process the world has ever known - and we can all do it - all that is required is that we release - we can let go of our darkness (our illusions, programs and anything and everything that is not real) to the purification of the Light which turns it into something we can reintegrate, balance and harmonize.

All we have to do is give it to Angels, tell them we no longer desire, need or have any attachment to it and they will take care of the rest - the only caveat is that we have to be extremely honest and really want to let it go -  we can decieve ourselves and often times do - but Spirit doesn’t buy into our illusions, walks in Divine Truth and sees through us every time

What does your Spirit want to let go of?  What comes up from the depths of your being for transformation and release?

Recently, Jeff Lilly of Druid Journal did a reading on the meaning of my name. My name and I have a long history not all of it so harmonious! It all started when we researched our names in the school library in 9th grade.

My full name at the time was Paula Jean Ambrose…which roughly means, “Little, God is Gracious or Gift of God and Immortal.” At this age I was more about feeding my ego however, than truly seeking to understand where I fit in with the “little, or small” translation of Paul.

The meaning of Paul irritated me because physically, I was the furthest thing from being “small” and the paradox of this grated against me to such a degree that I decided to create my own version of the meaning by moving my last name forward in the sequence to create, “Little, Immortal, Gift of God”. This was pleasing to the side of me that was angry about being big yet couldn’t stand to be small

Of course, the mismatch I felt regarding the meaning of my first name did not go by unnoticed by my peers. At fourteen, my already (5′7″ built German-tough) frame seemed better suited to football than modeling…a fact that everyone seemed compelled to point out to me, and actually sometimes still do come to think of it! LOL!

But here, hidden within the name I didn’t like…was an aspect to my Nature, that as Jeff would later uncover and point out to me, is one of the great gifts of my Soul.

Jeff, through his name reading, was able to dig deeper into the name energetically and I must say that my understanding of my name and gratitude for it has really grown! Thanks Jeff!

Paula is the feminine form of Paul, and dates back to Latin. Paul was a Roman surname, and meant literally “small”; it is related to paucity, pauper, few, and even foal. The phonosemantic meaning of Paul, like the peal of a bell, is of Source energy arising from a point and speading to fill a volume. As this is your first name, this is your public face, your social role.

I don’t know your middle name; but in my experience this name is frequently more inward-looking, a more personal name. It’s also often related to the name of one of your guides. For example, my middle name is Paul (and there are no coincidences, Paula!), and I have frequent contact with Apollo, and (according to Slade) my primary guide’s name is Paul also.

The name Kawal, as a last name, is related to the spiritual energy wrapped up in your ancestral guides. Now, I don’t mind telling you I had a pretty tricky time coming up with the origin of Kawal. It’s a name found in Japanese, Hindu, and Arabic, but I think it most likely that your name comes from Polish Kawal, which in modern Polish can mean either “chunk, piece. part” or refer to a sort of conspiratorial practical joke. The “piece” meaning is older, and is more likely the source of the name. Spiritually it is a balanced, even energy that emerges from confinement and, with an act of will, spreads out into space.

I note that both of these names reflect expansion, volume, and light energy. It is the name of someone on an extraordinary journey!

Jeff pinpointed many things that resonated deeply for me in his reading. My last name changing to my married name heralded a time of extreme evolution for me and in many ways amplified my budding spiritual talents…strengthening what was hidden in my first name all along…a connection with energy, a point of emergence and expansion.

This actually speaks to the healing and intuitive work that I do as well, as I focus intently on Divine Light and expand it out until I can not only see the way my client operates but can actually bring those operations to a place of expansion within them. So in a nutshell he was able to use my name to see and help me to become even more conscious of the spiritual gift that has influenced me the most throughout my life.

Also Jeff’s research is top-notch. Kawal is a difficult name to place, a mystery to even my husband’s family and up till Jeff threw his hat in the ring, all attempts to research it came up short of any satisfactory translations. If you would like to have him read your name, simply click here to go to his site

Thanks Jeff…and Namaste!

Lessons from the Cards

I haven’t done a tarot reading for myself in ages…so the other day I decided to whip out the cards with the idea of getting a larger picture of my current growth and development.  I went into the presence and drew three cards as follows:

The Queen of Cups

The first was the queen of cups; dreamy and contemplative, she is the very image of one who walks between the worlds. She is the stable aspect of the element of water. The still pool, deep well, the cup, the cauldron and the depths of ones own psyche. The well of the Soul that leads to our own inner mysteries.

She also embodies feminine power, exerting a seductiveness that has nothing to do with physical beauty but rather a beauty that radiates out from within…the beauty of a well developed spirit.

She is the mystery of emotions and the subconscious mind and she will reflect to you your inner-most desires and fantasies.

She calls us to discover our own depths and bring forth new qualities from within. She advocates an active and healthy inner life, exploring and experiencing feelings and information from beyond the exterior senses, demonstrating how life is enriched by learning to trust our intuition and spiritual gifts.

The Six of Cups (Reversed)

This one was interesting to me. The traditional meaning of this card indicates an absolute refusal to let go of the past. It is the clinging to old traditions, past glories and successes that prevents any achievement in “the now” for fear of not being able to compare.

My guides however told me that the card was chosen for its imagery and to look closely at the symbolism. As I gazed upon the empty cups I got an entirely different meaning…it was one of letting go and emptying out as it applies to learned information. Let me explain.

There are several stages of learning, take driving a car for example. First, there is unconscious incompetence; this is the time when you are not even aware that you do not know how to drive. Second, is conscious incompetence; at this point you begin to understand that this is something you don’t know how to do. Third, is conscious competence; this is where you learn how and can do it, however you are having to work at it. Fourth, is unconscious competence, this is when you are driving, talking on your cell phone and applying make-up all at the same time! (Just kidding) the point is that driving is now an unconscious skill, something you can do automatically without thinking about it.

My guides gave me the meaning through the symbolism of the card, that this was about emptying out and surrendering control. It is this leap of faith and trust that creates an opening for unconscious competence to occur

The Two of Wands

This card is the warrior armed with the courage of his/her convictions. I was not at all surprised to draw this card as in my last post I mentioned the presence of the Archangel Michael and this card had his energy all over it!

It is the dedication, willpower and hard work it takes to bring an idea to fruition. This card is also about pushing out personal boundaries and venturing beyond comfort zones. It is choosing risk over security in order to have the chance of knowing what you are truly capable of.

Overall Understanding

This tarot meditation spread spoke to me on many levels all at once. On the surface it is pretty obvious that I am working on going deeper to reveal more of my spiritual gifts and talents, that trust and surrender is required by my current growth and that this involves pushing my comfort zones and will require a high level of devotion to rework my personal boundaries.

On the deeper level I get that this is connected to my awakened healer; emptying the past, trust and surrender are required as that part of me has suffered greatly through past life experiences and of course, all of this…is going to and already has made me quite uncomfortable!

However these are the lessons before me in order to have full access to my heart chakra.  Since understanding and working with this energy center in my body is the next step on along my Highest Path and Purpose, it’s very cool that a spread like this in the Tarot can give me so much information on how to move through this process!

Share Your Experiences with the Spread!

Have you had any interesting tarot experiences that you’d like to share? Feel free to tell us about them in the comments section of this post! We look forward to hearing them and examining how our Guides like to use the cards

Angels

Well the Archangel Michael is once again in my consciousness moving and shifting things around.  I love Michael and when he comes front and center like this it can only mean one thing…my entire world is about to change and that is just what has most recently occurred.

I like to think of Michael as my spiritual engineer.  He shows up to keep things on track, informs me of new plans and destinations and essentially makes sure that all systems are a go.  He is also there to give me a shot of courage now and then or to tell like it is if necessary.  He is, hands down, one of my favorite Archangels and through this story, I think you’ll see why.

Continued Education

For the past three years I have been on an accelerated learning track.  This has included breaking through meditation blocks and barriers to be able to reach sacred space within myself, Coach training, NLP training, Soul Realignment and much more.

While in the NLP Practitioner course, I met a woman who opened a doorway to yet another kind of training that I was instantly interested in…this course was centered around Source and the angels.  She and her class were such a draw  for me that I nearly opted out of continuing on as an NLP Master Practitioner in order to get started earlier (as the two classes were going at the same time).  Fortunately though, I finished the Master track, as this level of NLP opened channels of awareness within me that had previously been untapped and I’m not one to turn down a higher level of awareness!

After the NLP Master Practitioner training however, I had a lot of internal reorganizing to do and for the first time ever, I was actually beginning to feel as if another training was the last thing I had the energy for.  This for me, was the beginning of a physical shift that was taking place outside of my conscious awareness.

Advice

My guides were quick to tell me that I needed to build in support for my physical body.  Energetically I was growing by leaps and bounds…physically, I was struggling to keep up even though this was not yet obvious to me.  All summer long my Guide team kept on me to develop an exercise program to balance out the disproportionate amount of time I spend in the energy world.  I began to take them seriously and started a regular routine at the local gym with my husband.

Working it Out

My husband loves lifting weights and has been working out for years.  When I came up with the idea of us going to the gym together to help with my consistency, he was very excited and instantly created a weight routine to compliment my running schedule.

In no time I was going 5 days a week and working out for over an hour a day straight.  This in and of itself would not be as useful if I did not do energy work while working out.  When I get on the treadmill I clean, balance and align my chakra system.  I connect with Source energy and release any form of negativity I may be holding down to the very cellular level of my physical form.  It is a complete and total energetic purging and cleansing that I have come to look forward to.  I LOVE my time on the treadmill!  Incidentally, this is also where I work on creating my light body.

Extreme Self-Care

When school started again for my kids, I was very excited because I’ve had a project that’s been in my consciousness since April to create.  My growth simply hadn’t been ready to support it until now.  With my physical form taking its time catching up to my vibrational growth, this project was looking like it would be very taxing energetically and so I thought I should just keep doing what I had been for awhile and not add anything new to the mix.

Deciding against the pursuit of additional training caused Michael to confront me on the matter, he said, “How will you care for yourself, while you do this work that nurtures others?”  I had no answer and so he had won…I entered the class and of course, it was is all about extreme self-care.  Leave it to an Archangel to tell it like it is!

The Healer Within

While in the class I had a complete aversion to using my hands for healing.  My right hand carried such an uncharacteristic dislike for it that I could hardly handle my instruments without grimacing as if from a bitter taste.

A past life came up within the session in which my hands had been sacrificed for practicing the healing arts.  Once that had been cleared, the healer within me awakened and the Archangel Rapheal has been working closely with me ever since.

Kundalini Rising

In a lot of ways I was really not prepared.  I’ve not been practicing yoga, nor did I have any thoughts of awakening kundalini energy but apparently the work I was doing in my heart chakra was about to activate it.  I experienced a throbbing lower back that would alternate between heat and cold as blockages were burned away and removed.  The discomfort followed the chakras and I had a lot of healing to do in the first, second, fourth and fifth before it could come through.  As soon as the kundalini was released my body transitioned into its new and current physical vibration.

Physical Changes

The first thing I noticed is how much lighter my energy has become, the second was how little I can eat at once and the third was completely unexpected…I can no longer eat meat.  Meat takes too much energy to digest and so I have been completely unable to eat it since the shift.  This is challenging to me because I do not know how to cook in a vegetarian way and half of my family prefers to eat the way we always have.  I simply can not…so I make what they are used to for them and bring in the fruits, veggies and grains for myself.

All of this happened so spontaneous and quickly that I have not had time to build in any new habits to support my new eating peculiarities however, a friend gave me a vegetarian cookbook and so that is where I will start looking for new ways to work with food.  For now I eat a lot of raw fruits and vegetables and certain juices and cheeses are also very appealing.  Acacia berries, Blueberries and pomegranate are high on my list as well as cantaloupes and butternut squash.  I like raw baby carrots and snap peas and fresh corn on the cob as well, however certain foods are lifeless so I simply don’t eat them.  The attraction level seems to be hinged on the energetic signature of the food…and even this varies to some degree on the individual fruit, vegetable or grain.

Putting it all Together

The Archangels Michael, Uriel, Rapheal, Ariel and Gabriel are helping me not only with my physical body but with my projects as well.  As I go further into training with them, they are teaching me a lot of things that will of course change what I do and how I do it.

For now, I am writing…as that is where they want me to begin now that I have energetically shifted
