Energy Update "Talons Locked"

Energy Update “Talons Locked” Image title "First in Flight" Some 6 years ago I was at the Wabasha Eagle Center with my family. As my son and daughter watched the handlers with these huge birds, they warned that next they would feed a rat to the birds and if anyone wanted to move closer now would be a good time. My son, 4 at the time nudged me. We went up and with him on my lap watched and listened to the bird crack that animal apart right before us. My son was quiet and big eyed, then he leaned back into me a bit and said, “That is BEAUTIFUL and DISGUSTING, but BEAUTIFUL.” The reason I share this is I’ll never forgot that day because of what he said. Something else that was shared that day was that Bald Eagles mate for life. When they are selecting a mate they do tricky flying maneuvers to interest the other. Then when both Eagles decide they are “the one” they both fly up very high in the sky, lock talons and free fall. If they make it to the ground, are able to separate and fly back to meet each other, in the world of Bald Eagles, they are married! The reason we were told they do this is to identify who is a viable mate to “match” them. There were some facts pointing toward, if they do this and fail, they likely wouldn’t be able to reproduce together. WOW, maybe we need humans to lock talons before...... So about 2 years ago I set an intention to see this happen in nature and for it to act as a sign for me. So in the middle of some tricky challenges in my life, I am driving to some support two hours away from my home, two times in a week. I am driving back from my second trip and you guessed it! I saw three Bald Eagles flying about when two of them lock talons, free fall and land behind some trees. The spinning birds looked like a sculpture falling from the sky. I couldn’t believe it. I reached to turn off the radio in the car and just watch. When they landed the third bird flew down to them and then away quickly. I am guessing that was a male who was making sure it was a match. Too bad for him it was, now he’s going to have to get back on “EagleMate.com” This is really a rare chance, especially at this time of year because mating normally takes place in January & February. This year maybe due to the cold, snowy and very long winter the birds are mating later? Or perhaps they court a year, build that HUGE nest and get ready for the following mating season. My intention for this article is a reminder to tell you to ASK for what you want! ASK! ASK! ASK! If you'd like to learn more about the Law of Attraction, check out the work of Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Energy Update "Being in Our Truth"

"Being in Our Truth" What does being in our truth look like? It is accepting who we are fully, that we make mistakes and still love ourselves and that we see ourselves as magnificent and divine beings, no matter what. Ways to achieve this: framing life struggles with perspective, allowing our soul to speak and create upon its goals, needs and desires. These are the things that make magic for the human. Also, being able to find a center, peace among chaos or distress. These are the signs of purpose and truth. Wow, that all sounds noble! However, the real thing about truth, and this is what makes it so difficult, is it is about us being us. We are going to say, do and experience things which create discomfort. Truth comes in when none of that matters (compassion). When we accept ourselves as whole, no projecting on others, just allowing them to be them and us to be us. We don't want to change people but instead love them and allow them to be them. We might choose to hold boundaries to keep us in our truth. Choosing expectancy over expectations and responsiveness over responsibility will help in relationships because these qualities are naturally related to discernment (knowing) over judgement (facts evaluated by the mind). People will feel vulnerability and acceptance if you approach life expectant & responsive and that is sure to create great relationships, fill you up and support your inner peace!

Energy Update "Self Nurture"

“Self Nurture” This theme is part of the trinity of self-acceptance and self-forgiveness. This is the place where self-love arrives. What I am finding at its root, in my own journey, is self-nurture may be foreign to most of us. You might be saying in your head, I go get massages and attend yoga classes. While this can be a form of self-nurture, I want to focus on a smaller facet of this concept. When we are feeling low and need boosting up most of us look outside of ourselves. It is ok to get support in this process of nurturing, however if you want to find self-nurture, you’ll avoid your friends and the Internet and explore soothing your fears on your own. To be honest, I didn’t know what self-nurture was until a few days ago. It is about staying with the pain, the feelings. Just being with them. This is what a mother would do to nurture her child, be with them so they know they are supported. The mother can’t really take the feelings away but give perspective to ease the child. We can look to ourselves to go in and find perspective among the bits we’ve disowned or forgotten. Go through the feelings to go out. In place of flailing at solutions, ask yourself, “What feels right? What clarity do I need to achieve my desired results? How do I ask for these needs to be met? Then we need to release resistance to allow what we want to flow to us, give the fear over to the angels, guides, or source. You can also talk to yourself. Who wrote an article and encouraged people to talk to themselves? Ok, me. Have a dialog with your inner and outer you. See what, can be gained by placing your hand over your heart and talking to the fear. Touch your arm like a mother would to support yourself. Be your best advocate, wrestle through it but what you are doing is huge! You are fully accepting you and this is a key to peace.

Energy Update "Looking for Joy"

Now that we have all successfully have surrounded ourselves with people who view the world from “What is” What’s next? We can focus our attention on seeing the joy in life! I was on an airplane, which had just landed as I actualized my next request from the Universe. I asked to see all of the joy around me. As the plane stopped, people shot up to grab bags and claim their space on the aisle to exit. A father, mother and child rode in the row ahead me. The dad stood up to get their bag and when he turned around to face his row, his little daughter reached her arms up. He set the bag down and brought the child into his arms, she immediately snuggled her head on the father’s shoulder and neck. Contentment and love! That is what I saw. However, what brought me even more joy was the couple in the aisle in front of this father. As all of this was happening, the couple in front of them was watching this dad and child too. This couple was likely ready to start a family of their own. The hope in the woman’s eyes for love of this kind, for her spouse and herself, wanting to be needed, wanting to be able with one small gesture to calm her own child......this yearning oozed from her giant smile. Seeing her brought me great joy. To remember back to when I too could be this for my own children or even for another person. This is a great example of Zero Point Manifestation. We can ask and receive immediately. I left the plane and started this leg of my journey seeing joy all over the place! Somebody outside the plane helped another by taking their hand because their elderly legs weren’t the same as his younger ones. Did I impact this quantum field of ours by requesting to see joy and asking to open the hearts of myself and others? Or was my attention only drawn to what was already always there? Tune your focus to joy. The contrast of this is lack. We deserve to live in "What is" (abundance & expansion) and if we are really committing to this we will ask to see joy, happiness and love in abundance around us and for us!
