Mood of the Week Tarot


THIS WEEK'S CARD: The Moon (Chalice Hill)

The image in this card is of a full moon behind a Lime tree (a tree of protection and luck) that sits atop Chalice Hill in Glastonbury.The moon represents the feminine, the intuitive, and the mysterious. The moon, because of it's waxing and waning, is a reminder of the cycles of nature within and without ourselves. Of course, the moon has a subtle magnetic pull upon us which affects our emotions, just as it is responsible for the tides. Unlike the Star or Sun, the moon does not create it's own light as such, rather it reflects light. This hints at the mystery of the moon, and hints at the possibility that all is not what it seems. Often, reality is projecting back to you your own fears and doubts...or presenting you with your wildest dreams about which you need to trust your instincts! The trick is to look beyond the reflection and see the source of the light instead. The moon can also represent deception and confusion, hence it's association with the term 'lunacy'. And, even more true to the name of lunacy, can also represent mental distress.


The moon, for me, is definitely a card of mystery. It is symbolic of the feminine and the intuitive, and thus the unconscious, challenging us to look beyond the surface and plough deeper for the seeds of truth within our experiences. It can also thus represent our psychic abilities. And if this card comes up it is either saying you are on the right track and your intuition is strong, or you need to stop, take a deep breath, go into your heart, tune in, and see what is really going on!

If I were to be totally honest, and honesty makes me human, I can say that I've been going through a confusing patch myself recently, and wondering what is really going on within my reality! Part of you knows, another part of you doubts. I find that, a lot of the time, it's easier just to allow all these thoughts and possibilities to be just that -- possibilities -- and simply trust that in time all will become clear again. In other words, to stop trying which is a state of Doing, relax, and go back into Being. Focus on anything which takes your mind off of questions, uncertainty, or worries. Anything that you enjoy, that relaxes you (like a nice salt bath with candle), anything that takes you back into the moment of Now. There aren't always techniques and 100% clear answers, except to trust in the universe and know that all will turn out for the good. In the end, it always does. Life is about experiencing and learning. As Abraham said through Ester Hicks when I attended Art of Allowing on the 19th of May, 'Are you enjoying the contrast of your experience?'

AFFIRMATION

'I trust that whatever wants to happen is the best outcome for me and those around me.'

MEDITATION

Take a deep breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth. Walk up Chalice Hill to the Lime tree, noticing a full moon behind the tree. Lean back on the tree and breath. Imagine your roots going into the earth, and breath up the energy up into your heart space. Then breath the moon's rays down through the leaves on your branches, down into your chest. Call upon the angel Gabriel, angel of the Moon, and ask for an awakening of your intuition and powers of knowing. If you have a query, ask, then wait for an answer. When you are finished, open your eyes. So as it is decreed, so it is.

Wesak Meditation 20th May



BACKGROUND

The Wesack is the time of the full moon in the sign of Taurus which usually falls in April, but can also fall in May. However, in 2008, we have been blessed to experience a 'blue moon', which is a double moon in the sense that we have had two full moons in the sign of Taurus, one on April 20th and the second on 20th May. So many people have celebrated two Wesack's this year! Yet I consider the 20th May to be the proper, or at least, final, celebration of the Wesack, which is also Lord Buddha's birthday.

Buddhists all over the world commemorate three great events: The Birth, Enlightenment and the Passing Away of Gautama Buddha.This is the festival of The Buddha, divine intermediary between the highest spiritual center, Shamballa, and the Spiritual Hierarchy. Wesak - the Sun in Taurus - Scorpio Full Moon - is the most powerful Full Moon of the year. The Sun's transit through Taurus exalts the Moon and Taurus is ruled by Venus, the spiritual ruler of Earth. Venus is identified with Mary, the World Mother. May, the month of Taurus, is the month of Mary. Venus appears in the west as the feathered serpent god Quetzxalcotal who brought enlightenment to the Mayans; in the east she is Maya, mother of the Buddha.

The Buddha is said to visit the mythical lands of the Wesak Valley. The Christ assembles Ascended Masters and initiates, whilst Lord Buddha appears overhead to give his blessings. The celestial dispensations expressed through Lord Buddha can be received over the three days following the full Moon.

Before I move on to the meditation, I wish to share my own personal story leading up to this year's Wesack. First, I must admit that I have not always followed such events in the 'spiritual calendar', despite always having been very spiritual. But this year I guess I received a calling or invitation from ther Buddha himself! To quote my diary from 19th April:

Sara shared info with me about sunday, astrological mainly, but also mentioned that Wesak is to do with the Buddha and the ascended masters. Buddha seemed to figure prominently! On the way back from pub, looked down at the pavement and swore I read 'laughing buddha'. Picked up green top of a box, and it was the box for a laughing buddha garden ornament! The main colour was green (heart?) Coincidentally, I was telling Sara last night randomly about the card i got on tuesday and my random outburts of laughter. The card said 'laughing like the buddha' and indeed I had thought many times since about whether the buddha actually laughed so much. When I told this to Paul Alexander on the phone, I looked down at the picture of Jesus on the book my mum lent me Friday (she wanted me to read it) called 'Love Without Conditions'. I then realised the Christ/Buddha energy was coming through very strongly. At the beginning. pg 9, Paul Ferrini, says the Buddha is an e.g. of the Christ energy or Being, it's different names/personages for the same thing...

THE WESAK MEDITATION

Light some incense and a candle. Take a deep breath in through the nose and release, out through the mouth. Become aware of your feet and the earth. Bring energy up from the earth and into every cell and aspect of your being from your toes to your head. Then become aware of the heavens and breath down energy from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Then affirm, 'I am connected to Mother Earth below, and Father Sky above.'

Now call upon Archangel Metatron and Melchizedek. See and feel them placing you in a protective bubble of silver-gold light. Now see yourself, with their help, being floated towards the Northeast into the Wesak Valley. Before arriving there, you stop in a circular clearing in the woods. You give thanks for all you have received and all that you have achieved in the days, weeks, months, and preceeding spiritual year. Now Archangel Metatron and Melchizedek float you off again towards the Wesak Valley.

You arrive at the Wesak Valley to see a pentagram of Ascended Masters led by the Christ. They glow with Platinum light. You feel excitement and joy and an increase in vibration. You move into a circle surrounding the pentagram with others like you, and join hands. You open your heart to receive the blessings of this time. Silence falls upon the land. To the northeast a speck appears which increases in size to become the appearance of the Buddha. He is wearing a safron robe, glowing gold, is seated in the lotus position, and has his arms open in blessing.

He hovers over the centre of the pentagram now, in the middle of which is a crystal chalice, full of the purest water from the eternal sea. You notice the the Buddha has the appearance of an eight pointed 'mandala' behind him, which represents the Ascension portal. As you watch the crystal chalice, you see the Full Moon rise from the centre.

Then you hear the sound of a gong, and other frequencies and manifestations of light and form, as a vibration emanates from the Buddha's heart and passes into the water. As it does so it creates ripples outwards which increase in frequency and intensity. As they do, water falls from the crystal chalice, and forms eight perfect puddles --spheres -- of water around the crystal chalice. Then a beam of gold-white light comes through the Buddha's heart. You are aware now that the 8-point mandala intersects at the Buddh'as heart, and it is from here that the beam of light emanates. It beams down into the water, and from there down into Mother Earth's core.

You feel a vibration as Mother Earth responds, and vibrations of light and sound emanate from Mother Earth's core and pass through all upon the earth including yourself, blessing you with the light and love of the Wesak. These vibrations quicken your ascension and lighten your heart and soul. Then the beam fades, there is another gong, and the Buddha moves off into the distance again from where he came.

You now spend some time just absorbing the new energies and activations into the core of your being. Then you make a prayer or request from the bottom of your heart, asking the Buddha and Ascended Masters to assist you to see your heart's desire fulfilled for the benefit of all. After some time, you return back in your silver-gold bubble of protection, back to your place of meditation and back to your body. Become aware of your feet upon the earth, give thanks, and slowly open your eyes. So as it is decreed in divine right time and order, so it is done. Namaste

Mood of the Week Tarot



THIS WEEK'S CARD: 2 of Staffs (Gateway)

The image in this card is of a man standing in a field, holding up two staffs above his head, which cross each other to form an x. This shape is like the Runic Gebo, which means a gift or kiss. The way he holds the staffs is as if to say 'Stop. Walk no further'.

This is not, however, indicative of being held back. Rather, he is holding up the staffs to indicate that this is an opportune time to stop and pause. To consider how the past has led you to this point in your life. Moreover, to this new threshold that you are about to cross...into new territory.

Last week's card was 5 of Chalices (Progression). This week's card is almost like reaching the top of that uphill journey towards the light and finding a gateway. A gateway that marks the moving into a new place, into new energy.

So the message is to pause, contemplate the past, give thanks, and then move forward with confidence to receive the new Gift that is being offered. How relevant to receive this card on the Wesak! For indeed, we stand now at the gateway of the New Spiritual Year, giving thanks for what has been to bring us to here, and to open ourselves to receiving what can be in the form of the blessings -- the gift -- of the Wesak.

AFFIRMATION

'I am grateful for all that I have received, and open to all that I am receiving.'

Mood of the Week Tarot



THIS WEEK'S CARD: 5 of Chalices (Progression)

The image in this card is of a lady making her way up Chalice Hill in Glastonbury. There are three empty chalices besides her, and two golden filled-to-the brim chalices in the near distance! The message of this card is classicly not to 'cry over spilt milk', hence the three empty or spilt chalices being left behind and why she is dressed in a purple cloak the colour of mourning. In other words, if you've experienced difficulties or disapointments of late, there is no need to worry as things shall be changing for the better very soon! But when this card comes up, it is also more generally a reminder that life is a progression and a journey...that it's the journey there, not the being there, that counts.

In the week's gone, especially the time after the full moon, we may have found ourselves motivated and excited, as if everything feels new and with promise. Sometimes we would have felt like we were on a high. And of course every high is usually followed by a 'low'. Well the world is still new and full of promise, it always is if only you'd allow yourself to see it, but we've just passed into a quieter and more introspective period between the new moon and the next full moon (20th May). This is a time of spending more time with and within ourselves, doing inner work preparing us for the new energies about to emerge.

Another way of putting this, is to say that we have moved from a more active, masculine, period of energy, into a still, passive, and feminine period of energy. What I call the 'in between' or 'waiting time'.

Some may experience this as life just 'plodding on', which doesn't sound very exciting, but then this is how we often perceive the feminine when we have previously been experiencing the roller-coaster of the masculine! The key is to relax into this period, make full use of it, and simply see it for what it is. Indeed, this card reminds us that this is part of life and to accept it.

One of the wisest pieces of advice ever given to me regards my own albeit challenging work as a lightworker, especially in my early days at 12listen, was from our very own resident shamen Shane Knox. He simply said to 'keep going.' And to keep going is what this card is all about! Because, very soon, we shall be reaching those two chalices filled-to-the brim on top of the proverbial hill we're climbing! And we will see what all this inner work was leading up to. This should culminate on the full moon of the 20th, which is also the special time of the Wesack--Lord Buddha's birthday and the beginning of the New Spiritual Year!

No wonder we are feeling possibly strange and like we are 'going nowhere', we are being prepared for one of the biggest spiritual and energetic events of the year, which will catapult us forward at light speed, and this particular Wesack is going to be one of the most powerful yet!

AFFIRMATION

'I am a perfect balance of masculine and feminine energies. I am happy whatever may be going on within or around me.'

MEDITATION

Take a deep breath in through the nose and out through the mouth. Become aware of the sun in the sky. Call upon the angel Raphael who represents the Sun, and say, 'I call upon the sun, the light of the world.' Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and breath the sunlight through the top of your head and down through your body, out through your feet, and down into the earth. Now call upon Gabriel, the angel representing the moon. See the moon, and say, 'I call upon the silver moon of the night, the inner light that shines the way ahead.' Then breath down it's pearly-silver rays through the top of your head and down through your body, out through your feet. Now ask that the sun and the moon, the gold and the silver, the feminine and the masculine, the logical and the intuitive, with the help of Raphael and Gabriel, come down together as one light of Unity Consciousness through all of your relevant chakras.

Then see yourself walking up that hill, leaving the empty chalices behind. Arrive at the top and pay attention to your journey. does it feel easy or tiresome? If so, why? Then ask for and make required changes so that your journey may be perceived more easily. When you reach the top, see the sun go down and experience the night. See the moon in the sky. Then see the sun come back up and rise, it's rays warming you, the birds singing their dawn chorus. See your body transparent and empty, now becoming filled with sunlight, as if you were a glass being refilled with the Sun's nectar. Give thanks for all that you have received and are receiving.

Now become still, tune inwards, then do whatever you feel drawn to do or be. Enjoy! Namaste

Piano Playing Child Prodigy...




This 5 year old girl apparently started playing the piano from the age of 3, despite having no lessons and being blind! She would hear a tune once and be able to play it. I closed my eyes when she played Beethoven's fur elise...the energy was incredible!

Mood of the Week Tarot



Every week a Tarot card is randomly selected for all you readers, and then I write up a mini reading, affirmation, and meditation, for your growth and enjoyment. Your mood of the week tarot card is...


THIS WEEK'S CARD: 8 of Chalices (Renewal)

The image of this card is a woman in a dark blue cloak walking across a bright yellow path. She pulls up her cloak with her left hand to reveal various colours and patterns underneath. In her right hand is a mask on a stick. This of course represents the persona, mask, or projection of who we wish others to think we are. But of course, there are many sides to our true nature, some which we choose to allow and some which we choose to repress. In this image she is turning to walk towards the sun in the distance above Chalice Hill in Glastonbury. She is choosing to turn away from past fears and instead walk into the rays of truth and light, revealing the various patterns underneath her cloak which represent her once hidden potential and true nature. She is choosing now to reveal more of her true self.

So what does this card mean for us? Well, if my experience is anything to go by, it represents us allowing more of our true selves to shine, like the image of the rainbow. So if this card comes up for us, it indicates that we are either hiding our light under a bushel, or finally walking towards the light of the sun again and away from our fears and feeling free to show our true colours. I know that many have had a challenging few weeks, but things are changing for the better, is what this card suggests, just like the rainbow appeared to Moses to promise no more rain! Well... less rain anyway, and most definitely a period of relative calm! I'm no astologer, but I know that we recently had a New Moon, which is of course about new beginnings.

AFFIRMATION

'I lovingly accept all aspects of my multi-dimensional self, and feel free to express all that is truly me'.

MEDITATION

Create a beautiful, relaxing space to symbolise renewal, to symbolise that this time is special and new. Maybe light an incense and a candle. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in through the nose...and out through the mouth. Become aware of your body and how it feels in the position you are sitting. Look into the candle, if you have one lit, and after a while breath the flame into your heart and on the out breath, expand it around your entire body. Let the flame burn through you. See another flame at the centre of your heart, and affirm, 'This is the flame of my true being within me that forever burns'. Then become aware of the flame around your body again. Breath out forcefully and expand the flame, out into every aspect of your life, and affirm, 'The flame of my true being lights my entire world with my truth.' Your inner truth is now manifested on the outside! See yourself on that path now, taking off your cloak to reveal your true nature. Turn around and walk along the yellow path towards the sun above Chalice Hill. Breath in deeply the energising light and warmth of the sun, and finish by affirming, 'I manifest the light of my truth. And so it is.'

Many Shades of Indigo: The Who's Who Guide to the New Children



Many articles and books have been written on this subject about the different 'types' of evolutionary-accelerated children we are seeing these days. I tend to call all these different children--whether indigo, crystal, or starkid--either indigo children or new kids. For me, I prefer the term indigo rather than the generalisation 'new kids' because it's the original term that people recognise. I use it so that I may talk about the process of evolution, rather than 'types' of children, and thus don't see why people make such a fuss about the terminology. You see, I am a process-centred being rather than a 'type' centred being, for want of a better way of putting it! And I don't like to view the process of evolution as being akin to 'the latest model' worldview which so smacks of the materialistic and commercial world we live in.

What am I trying to get at? Well, it's this: No matter how much you try to define our new children 'this' or 'that', there is as much difference within a group of indigos, or crystals, or whatever, as there is amongst the general populace. They are all different! I've met indigos, who, despite having many of the indigo 'traits' like myself, were vastly different from myself. So different, in fact, we might always be at logger-heads, but then I suppose that's kinda one of our traits anyway! And I've seen massive differences amongst those children perceived as being indigo. The cynic may say some of them were indigo and some were not, but I think otherwise...

And the most important fact of all is that no-one, no matter what 'model' they were born as, stays the same. Not only does evolution mean that children can be born wired up very differently, but the evolution is not just something that happens when you receive a new body! It's, as suggested in the last two ascension 2012 articles, something that happens all the time within our minds, bodies, and souls, at whatever age we may find ourselves.

One way of looking at this is to say 'If your born from a certain year onwards, or if you have these traits, then your indigo', or crystal, or starseed or whatever. The other model is to see the bigger picture which may even go beyond this blink of a life-time and say your an ever-changing being. Of course, though, there are apparent differences and similarities between these children which lead to seemingly valid distinctions being made and I'm not pro or con that really. Ultimately, my point is this: If you were 'born' indigo, it's very unlikely that you still are.

And no I don't mean that your out of date...rather, that you've been updated! The process of evolution goes on. And thus someone that was born indigo may now be 'crystal.' How? Well because evolution never stops, it only slows down or speeds up. And of course, during an ascension period and what with all these new children being born, the more of them that choose to come here, the more our planet's--and hence our--vibration is raised, no matter which 'box' we choose to put ourselves in! Along with all the vibration raising that our social-scientific-spiritual revolution is creating...

Okay, now that I've gotten that off of my chest *takes a deep breath* here's a quick definition of the various shades of indigo:

1). Indigo Children. Firstly, there are the new breed that started this all off, the indigo children. Said to have indigo auras, they started appearing en masse in 1979, the year that I was born surprise surprise! They are the new children (many now adults) that came in to 'bust the system'. They are the fiery ones with a tendency to question everything. Hence they often receive the psychiatric labels of 'ADHD'. Often considered wild and untameable, the energy they brought in was of a very multi-dimensional nature, here to bring that which no longer serves us, or is lacking integrity, to the surface. They are the warriors who paved the way.They are still around of course, but many are being upgraded to Crystal.

2). Crystal Children. Having met endless indigo children and adults of varying ages over the years, I actually dated the need for the term 'indigo'. I thought maybe crystals were just quiet or chilled out indigos! But when I met my first crystal child, there was no doubt about it.

It was my mother's friend whom we bumped into in 2007. She had a daughter and a younger son, the son being very wild and hyperactive, and hence a likely candidate for indigo energy. My mum's friend had a baby daughter whom I hadn't yet seen. She was already a year old. She was pale skinned with blonde hair, very beautiful and delicate looking, and yet seemed to have an 'old' look to her. She had amazing blue eyes and there was an incredible sense of quietness and peace with her. She made no sounds whatsoever, and gave the impression that she was non-verbal. I was totally aware that she was a new child. But what really blew my socks off was when standing to one side, and thus with a view of my mother and her friend talking as well as the baby girl at the same time, I observed something which said it all. As they discussed things, I noticed that her face changed rapidly. I was aware that her reactions were in response to what they were discussing, but with one important distinction--she'd react just BEFORE the change in content with the releavtn emtional response. Cynics will say I imagined this, but the next part we all could not have imagined. The little girl started to look upset, and then my mother suggested she'd 'love' to babysit for her daughter sometime. I looked at my mum and moved my eyes to indicate 'look at her'. She was totally distraught. The question was how did she know? Simple. She was totally tuned in to her mother telepathically.

I now know that there ARE another set of new children that are distinctive in the following ways: Being non-verbal, highly telepathic, and carrying a sense of peace or quiet with them. These are the 'crystal' or 'cryst all' children, that do not tend to be present in the throat or third eye like indigos, but in the heart and crown. They are delicate and sensitive and have been able to come in, usually after an indigo child has done much warrior healing within a family. They are also bringing us collectively to a higher level, and indeed helping their indigo brothers and sisters receive their crystal activations!

3). Star Children. I call these 'indigo starkids' because 'all starkids are indigos but not all indigos are starkids'. In other words, there is a sub-section of the indigo children who are highly focused upon their starry nature. They are of a galactic disposition, and may report past or future lives connected to other civilisations in space, what we would call 'extraterrestrials.' Starkids, of which I am one (well, a grown up one now) also go a step further and feel that they are not actually from this planet. I used to feel the same way myself, but now comfortable with my earth nature as well as my star nature, I help such children and adults to remember they are neither or both, rather than one or the other, and that they chose to incarnate on planet earth--as a Human--for a reason. I call this consciousness splintering 'Multi Dimensional Personality Confusion' and is one of the main reasons for my work. More on this in future.

The Growing Pains & Joys of Ascension!



As our world shifts into ever higher vibrations, we too shift into a higher octave of love and light. I cannot and will not speak for other 'ascension-ologists', but when I say that we are shifting into a higher vibration I do not mean this in some abstract sense. I mean this in a literal sense. We are literally being re-wired from the inside out and the outside in! 'As within, so without, as above so below'. Not only is time literally speeding up, not only are energies affecting us from 'out there', but--just like the butterfly which goes into the cacoon stage to begin its process of DNA transformation--we too are in the process of a transformation not only of our minds and souls, but also of our bodies.

Remember the scientific-philosophical conundrum about all our cells being replaced every 7 years, and yet we still retain the consistency of body and memories? Well it's like that with ascension, except that...it's a whole lot faster. Lower vibrating energies are slower and higher one's are faster in vibration, so in one sense the experience of 'time' is a product of vibration. As we ascend, which means to rise upwards, we become less heavy and instead lighter. You could say en-light-ened!

On the weekend just gone, I was watching the film 'Herby' at my auntie's, which is about a car that is alive. At one point, the character's decide to give Herby a new engine. Of course, part of me perceived Herby to be purely 'physical' because he was a car, and therefore if he was to undergo drastic physical alterations, that which makes Herby may cease to exist. But of course the whole moral of the story is that Herby really is alive, and therefore has a soul! So no matter how many times he receives a make-over (gets a new body) that which makes Herby 'Herby' still exists.

And so it is with us. We are, in a sense, receiving new 'bodies'--of mind, soul, and physical self--all the time, as we integrate the new energies. The result? We experience growing pains, just as we experienced physical growing pains as children. And just as our birth into physicality involved great pain as well as joy, so too the ascension process involves great pains and great joys!

So what are some of the symptoms of ascension, of spiritual trance-formation?

1). Just like the new children coming in, we will experience becoming more sensitive to the world around us and the world within us.

2). We may find ourselves being drawn to 'quieter' activities and spending more time alone due to our increased sensitivities. This is so we can integrate any changes within our own 'spatial awareness.'

3). You may find yourself becoming more sensitive to negativity in the world. For e.g. television, especially the news, will seem dense and depressing! The answer to this one is obvious...

4). We may feel actual pains in our bodies and mind's. The key is to remain detached for these are what I talked about earlier--growing pains--and take care of one's self. (Anything relaxing like spending time in natural surroundings, having a hot warm bath with a candle, really help). Remember that growth involves 'pain' but that is different from negative! Who would say that your birth was 'negative', and if you were to have avoided your birth process...well, you wouldn't be here now!

5). We may experience unusual bodily sensations, feeling weird, spaced out, for no apparent reason. This is often due to ascension energies, and we would do well to remember to ground ourselves at these times with exercise, rocks, trees etc.

6). We may experience real physical changes in our bodies. For e.g., a few years back I suddenly developed a strange rash all over my skin after meditation. It went red and then blistered. I was considering seeing a doctor, but then I remembered to try an organic sea-salt bath, and the rash cleared up! Salt baths are particularly good for ascension related bodily pains or skin-sensitivities. By all means see a doctor, do not take risks with your health, but try natural solutions whenever possible especially at these times!

7) Talking of natural solutions, we will also find ourselves reacting badly to poor quality foods, chemicals etc. A change in diet, wholesome whole-grain, high fibre (for grounding) organic foods are preferable.

8) We may experience feeling 'lighter'. This is of course the bodily sensation of enlightenment. Becoming more awake--'enlightened'--literally involves feeling lighter! As good as this may feel, it is important not to become addicted to the sensation of flying, and instead remember to ground ourselves by imagining growing roots into the earth, connecting with anything natural like trees and rocks, and also eating more to keep us grounded (especially if your sensitive and/or have always been slight).

9) We may consciously experience the speeding up of time.The hands of your watch or clock will not spin in front of your eyes, but mental awareness of time speeding up will be very obvious to those awakening. This can be disorientating and lead to time and organisation related problems or even feeling anxious or 'hyper'. One possible answer here is to do anything that is grounding, especially to keep an eye on the time--if you never used to wear a watch, now is the time!--and to keep a daily diary. If you can, that is, if time doesn't go too fast for you to fill it out! ;-)

10) You will also experience emotional releases. Crying apparently for no reason. Just let yourself cry and then forget about it. because time is speeding up all energy healing passes through our bodies more quickly. I always tell my clients about the psychic-reading process in relation to this. When you read for someone, you become their mirror. You must tell them what you see, hear or feel. If you get a pain in the heart, tell them, because if you don't the pain will stay there until you do! The simple act of owning an energy let's it pass through you to be transcended. You do not even require a conscious understanding of it. make it easy on yourselves. The great thing about ascension and time-acceleration (time, remember, is really 'the frequency of vibration') is that an e-motion (energy in motion) that could have taken a week, month, or longer to clear before, can now pass in no time at all, because it moves at a quicker pace through your own personal s-pace!

There are many more symptoms of ascension, but this is just an introduction. If you'd like an intuitive-energetic reading to work on your ascension related questions or personal process, feel free to telephone me via 12Listen:
