Aloha and Welcome to 2011!
There is a big shift happening on the
planet right now. This year holds within it the opening of a lot of
new space to realize more and more about what we are really on this
planet to do. This is going to be a year of amazing awakenings, as
each of us has the opportunity to fulfill who we really are. Let's
spend a few moments investigating some of what is available for us to
discover together this year.
Anyone notice a bit of a wiggly, jiggly start to 2011? A part of the
shift that is happening, and at great speeds, is the release of a
tremendous amount of old patterns and false rhythms that no longer
work. These patterns are being released from our spirits, our bodies
(subtle bodies included!) from society and from the planet itself.
Nothing and no one are immune! Some of these patterns are very big and
very old, so relax and know there is a pretty complex and
sophisticated divinity creating all of this. Know that you are being
considered and loved by a very nourishing universal intelligence.
Take a deep breath as we look at having understanding and trust in
what is happening across the world as we move into and move with 2011!
In 2011, each of us will come to a crossroad in which we have to make
some very vital choices. What commitments to growth and awakening are
in alignment with you? This is a year that will shake our
foundations. When our foundations are filled with light and truth,
when we are tuning into and enjoying the rhythms of life, it is going
to be VERY fulfilling. But how do we rebuild foundations that have
not been full of light? How do we learn to tune into the rhythms of
life versus the rhythms of a job, or friend or any other life
commitment we may have? It is going to be a very important year to
find this out and to learn how to recognize what is truly in alignment
with our own true selves. An important part of the formula is taking
the time to learn how to know our selves and how to rediscover
ourselves in any given moment. What happens if we have not taken the
time to discover our inner identity? Or if we think we know our inner
beingness, but we have mistaken something for us that is not? Let’s
explore that!

In looking at us each being able to grow and evolve with grace in the coming year, we need to consider both universal and personal rhythm.
If we remember that the whole universe is built on vibrational
formulas, much like music, then it becomes easier to pay attention to
the rhythms that are happening and work with them versus against them.
The adage about everything in its right time is very true. We must
each discover our personal rhythm so we can know who we are and what
we need to do here on Earth.
There is a structure in the universe that allows for everything and
everyone to have a right place, a path, room to move and to make
choices. There is also a divine intelligence that works in a rhythmic
pattern. At any given time, creative energy is being moved through
everything in wave-like patterns. Waves, as you know, can come in sets
or be very random. From big to small, to no waves at all, the trick is
how we move with the waves - or not. You might imagine surfing and
being on the board, or being dragged behind it, or anywhere between!
Good time to find your sense of humor!
The waves and rhythms that move the cosmos itself are always filtering
down into life on Earth. Each of us will have our own unique
experience of the way this flows into and through us. If we are open
and paying attention, then we are fed, freed and fulfilled by
receiving, and subsequently acting in accord with these universal wave
patterns. This is very simple, and yet life throws us many twists and
turns that can make it seem more complicated than that.
True Rhythm and False Rhythm:
We each have the opportunity in our lives to discover how to find the
true rhythms that allow us to fulfill our souls, though it can be
tricky as there are many false rhythms too. Some rhythms we learn
from society and some rhythms are how other people experience the flow
of life. Perhaps they think you should experience it that way too,
though it may not truly serve you at all. We each need to learn how
to separate these false rhythms that take us off our path, from the
true rhythms that allow us freedom. When creative energy gets moving
in the universe, each of us, depending on our life experience, our
energetic makeup and our own frequency, are going to read and
interpret these rhythms in a different way. You see, there can not be
a right way, there are simply many ways! This is what makes life so
interesting. It would be pretty boring if we all experienced the
universal flows in exactly the same way. Where would we be without
diversity? In order to be a whole society, we need for people to fit
into all different paths and callings and ways of life. What if
everyone wanted exactly the same thing out of their life experience?
Now that would be more confusing than all the variety! But what
happens if someone decides only one way is correct? Or only their way
is correct? Have you ever tried to alter your essence to fit someone
else's interpretation of timing, of life and creativity? Each of us
has gotten lost many times that way. This year it is time to focus our
energies on getting found!
Part of the journey here on Earth is to know ourselves. As we come to
a deeper appreciation of our own true self, dancing within the
movement of the universe can be the most exciting adventure going!
Knowing Ourselves:
The first time I heard the term "know thy self" I was 17. I was
swimming in an immensely beautiful river on Maui through a series of
lovely streams and waterfalls. I would swim through a pool and come
to a beautiful waterfall, climb up the waterfall and then swim through
the next pool and do it again. I was in a state of awe and reverence
at the immense divinity of this place. At the seventh pool there was a
fork in the river and hence there were two waterfalls to choose from.
I could not figure out which way to go as they both looked perfect,
neither was better or worse, so I froze there, baffled. I didn't know
what to do. I was overcome by an almost dizzy confusion which somehow
pushed me right into my center where it became clear that the only
thing to do was to ask the Great Spirit. I was not much in the habit
of doing that at the time, I wasn’t even sure if I would get an
answer. When I asked, a huge booming voice said "Know Thyself."
Needless to say, I was very startled. I found that I was filled with
a vast emptiness in relationship to this communication. I had no idea
what this had to do with the fork in the river (ho ho) and no clue
what this meant. Know thyself? Huh? I kept hoping I would hear more,
but I didn’t. I thought "is that all?" I had no idea yet that it was
more than enough! At the time, as I was stuck between two pools and
could not move, I decided this must be a symbol for my life, that I
had better commit myself to learning what on earth that big voice was
talking about. How often do each of us feel stuck between something
like those two pools?
Since then, I have discovered that I may never stop learning what
those two simple words, know thyself, mean. I have found the process
of learning to know myself may just be the first of the world’s
seven-wonders! (Perhaps they miscounted! There may be many more than
seven!) This all fits together when we understand that the true
rhythms of life help us learn to know ourselves by helping us discover
how we can best grow in each given moment. Having answers like
knowing which path to take at any given cross roads will allow us to
fulfill our soul’s purpose on earth.
Take a moment now and breathe deeply. Close your eyes and imagine a
light behind your eyes. Become aware of this light and say to it
"hello, I love you." What do you notice? Now relax and start to be
aware of the great movement of the Universe. Be aware that there is a
wave, a harmonic that is feeding and guiding you as if you were being
led by a lovely piece of music. What you can tune into right now is
very special. It is what is going on now, in present time, and it is
constantly changing. Take a moment and just allow yourself to
experience this. Do you see something, know something, or feel
something? You may find this very simple or very difficult as learning
to let ourselves do this with no effort is a process. Don’t worry
about that. You can learn tools that will help you to make this very
simple and very real if it isn't yet. For now, trust that your inner
being knows how to access the movement and the flow of what is going
on in the universe today! Take a deep breath and be aware of your body
now. Create an image of a huge golden sun above you, a sun full of
light, just like the sun in our solar system is full of light. Allow
this light to shine and flow into your body and fill you with warm
golden radiance. Know that you are very worthy of this experience and
that you are an important part of all that is!
Back to 2011:
We here on earth are all on a spiritual journey. In order to truly
have our journey, we must consciously commit to it and take
responsibility for our life and our experiences. You may have
questions about this piece, and if so, please ask them! As I mentioned
at the top, in 2011 the old inner patterns and the old inner
foundations that no longer serve us begin to break up and clear away.
Know that the process of dissolution can be quite uncomfortable, to
put it mildly, yet it is vital for this to occur so new structures
and creations can happen in ourselves, in our lives, our societies
and in our universe. Part of learning to have universal rhythm is to
be able to relax into the process of letting go of that which does not
work anymore. If we hold on, we may find ourselves feeling very
anxious. When we can let go, all that we have been asking for and
really been wanting has space to come to us!
Every day, the flow of life is changing. How may this affect you?
Well, you may wake up really energized after sleeping only a few
hours, or you may wake up exhausted after many hours of sleep. In
fact, there are thousands of different ways your body is going to
perceive, interpret and receive the patterns of life each day. It is
important for us to understand this so we do not fight it. Ever try to
do something and no matter what you do, it just won't work that day?
Often we take this personally. Please know that more often than not,
it is not personal at all, it is just how the energy is or is not
moving in all of creation on this particular day. How can you create
on a day of dissolution, how can you dissolve on a day of creating? If
you take it personally you may start trying to solve a problem you
don't have! This is an excellent way to make a mountain out of a
molehill!
When I was a child, I had a big challenge with many things that were
asked of me. The way these events and activities were set up was not
the way I heard the universe moving in me. This created conflict when
I was expected to match a rhythm that I could not resonate with, and
yet I was taught I was supposed to do exactly that. When has this
happened to you? How many times? There may be many, many layers of
these patterns and demands to be something you are not that have piled
up inside of you. When we have tuned into so much that really is not
us, we often feel we are being tossed on the sea and not ever catching
a wave. Or maybe you catch waves, but it is random and you want to
experience a greater consistency. Are you ready to let go of the old
patterns this year? Do you need some support, some tools, and want to
have some fun as you do this? You truly can learn to clear from your
body and your energy bodies the rhythms, stuck patterns, blocks and
mental images of reality that have been stored within you that stop or
alter the flow of true self awareness in the present moment! This is
indeed a joyous thing.
Do you want to hold within you the wave patterns that will feed you
and work for you each day? Do you get excited about getting into your
body and learning to ride the waves of the universe, to really be in
the moment and navigate reality as it is blossoming forth from the
source of all? When you can do these things, you will find it is very
simple to attract into your life the situations, the work, the
relationships, etc. that match your soul’s true essence. When you do
that, you will experience well being and feel pretty fulfilled.
Be aware that the soul is on a journey in which learning is an
important facility. Education is a great concept! It comes from a
Greek word that actually means to "bring out from within that which is
already in the soul, to assist the soul in its development." So then,
in its truest sense, education is a way to learn how to live in your
own interpretation of the movement of the universe. As if you are your
own planet moving and turning and creating at your own pace and in
your own way, and yet part of a dynamic whole, orbiting the same
golden sun as all the rest of us. Each of us learning how to enjoy
being in the solar system together is the process of each soul
learning to reference their own highest self and getting to know
themselves. When we know ourselves we enjoy others more too! All of
this is what we at The Clairvoyant Center of Hawaii and Magic Isle are
deeply committed to.
The key to a happy and fulfilling 2011 is each of us learning how to
work with the higher rhythms and the inner rhythms. The true ones
versus the ones that have been created outside of us by others, the
ones that have been created outside of the awareness of the universes
true movement. It is also about learning how to learn in, work in,
create in, and participate in structures (systems, groups, schools,
agreements, trainings and classes, techniques and practices, etc.)
that allow us to open more and more to
knowing the essence that is truly us.
In 2011 we welcome you to come and participate in The Clairvoyant
Center of Hawaii and in Magic Isle. Here we have a wide variety of
classes and training programs where you have plenty of space to tune
into and learn to see your own true essence, creating more space to
learn to know yourself. It is enlightening to learn specific tools and
techniques that allow each of us the freedom to clear ourselves out
wherever and whenever we need to. The ability to know and see with
ease, the truth of being is an exciting and wondrous experience.
Come and join us in 2011 for safe, fun ways to find and explore your
freedom, communicate with your higher self, see the colors of spirit
and be part of an agreement that recognizes the light and the uniquely
glorious vibration in each of us. It is a magical experience for
someone to look at you and see you moving according to your own beings
interpretation of divine rhythm and flow. To have this seen by another
is a validation beyond imagining that often brings tears of joy. It
offers great opportunity in awakening within the inner eye the colors
of the souls true radiance. This is true liberation and it is a
wonderful spiritual freedom.
Enjoy this year as you seek each day to understand what it means to
"know thyself." May each of you through the crossroads offered to you
and be able to ride the wondrous rhythms of the universe so that you may fulfill your greatest dreams!
In Warm Aloha and Loving Admiration of Your Soul's Journey,
