Inspirational cards are a wonderful way to gain wisdom and connection to our Spirit Guides and Angelic Helpers. Here are messages for us this Winter, 2010:

From Doreen Virtue's new deck, Saints and Angels come 2 messages. Retreat: "have peace and quiet time, because you need to rest, rejuvenate, and regroup. It's not selfish to take care of yourself in this way". And Sweetness: "fall back in love with life and enjoy its rich sweetness". Sounds like snuggling and hot cocoa to me! Great to be given permission from Spirit!

Archangel Raguel came to visit with the theme of Divine Order from Doreen Virtue's Archangel cards. His message, "Everything is how it needs to be right now. Look past the illusion, and see underlying order. A win-win situation is brewing, one with solutions that are fair to everyone involved". Raguel guides people to act in fair and just ways and gives us faith in humanity's essential goodness. Something we obviously need at this crucial time!

Finally, I've chosen a Mayan card since 2012 is so much on people's minds. Kan tells us "Realize that you and your life are the fertile ground, that you awaken your own dreams and possibilities. Free yourself from the illusion of safety as you enter into the manifestation of emerging possibility."

So it seems our inspirational messages this season are to realize everything is in Divine Order, relax, take time to rest and regroup, be gentle with ourselves and others, and awaken in ourselves wonderful dreams and possibilities. This way we will be able to Hear the Call and Dream the Highest Dream!!

There is so much hype, discussion, and concern around the year 2012 these days. Have you seen the movie? Many people think the end of the world is coming - again.
What is 2012 about? There are some wonderful books and information coming out by Lee Carroll, Gregg Braden, and others that speak directly to this. Many ancient civilizations knew about planetary, solar, and galactic cycles, not only the Mayans.

The significance of 2012 refers to a larger timeframe where our solar system makes a full cycle around the equator of the Milky Way galaxy. This happens every 26,000 years and the Earth has done so many, many times already in our 4.5 billion years of existence. However, just as "Sagittarius" doesn't include only 1 day, but a month ranging from Nov. 23rd to December 21st, our solar system doesn't take only 1 year to align around the Milky Way.

We are already seeing changes due to the 2012 timeframe and have been for many years. We have been in this alignment from 1980 and will continue until 2016. The exact midpoint was 1998 (plus/minus 18 years). For an internal confirmation - think back to what has changed since 1980 - the collapse of Soviet Union, Berlin Wall, Internet, Sept. 11, 2001 to name a few. Life is certainly changed from those days and it is continuing to change.

Jose Arguelles is the person who first introduced the date December 21, 2012 into mass consciousness with The Mayan Factor. However, if you want to read more about the Mayans and their astounding work with time cycles, read The Mayan Code by Barbara Hand Clow. It's alot to work through, because much of it is technical, and we also found it fun and mind- boggling.

Rather than imagining the end of the world, visualize how wonderful our continued growth and evolution is! Let's visualize that our world will be glorious and green -- and even more beautiful in 2013, 2014, 2021 and beyond.
What will change will be you!

Integrity issues are paramount! Both in our own lives and in our societies. Whatever is not in synch with a higher truth is either coming more into alignment, or it is becoming apparent that it needs to - think of our financial, health care, and employment 'realities'.

So, relax! EnJoy! Remember our messages of Divine Order, Sweetness, and Seeding our Dearest Held Dreams! These are eternal blessings and will stay with us for many years to come.

Published in Examiner.com, Asandra Lamb has written an article, The Shadow Effect: A Review which critiques Debbie Ford's documentary, The Shadow Effect. Asandra is an author, artist, and has been a full-trance Channel for the past 26 years and is well versed in topics of spiritual guidance.

What is "the shadow"? It is a psychological term that has been around for more than 50 years, first used by Carl Jung, a student of Freud's. Jung coined this term to include all those aspects of ourselves that are hidden, shameful, and often unconscious. The shadow contains hidden parts of ourselves that can rule our lives.

Asandra asked me to comment on this work. Check out the article and comments at the link below. You can also check out Asandra's website at www.theguidedpath.net.

At Arise, we work with clients from a higher soul level, which follows your personal Hero's Journey through your changing inner landscapes.

Sometimes we carry over the unhealed parts of our selves through our ancestral line and our DNA and it is intriguing to work with your personal survival strengths, heal your DNA lineage, and move more clearly into a higher destiny path.

The Guided Counseling and energy work we do can bring lightness, compassion, forgiveness, and healing to any and all areas of our multidimensional selves -- without the focus being put so much on 'shadow' work. Light dispels any shadows!

There are many ways that we can expand our networks and work together as those living and working on the leading edge!

Let's link up!! Wherever we live, let's spend 1- 2 minutes twice a day at 11:11 am and 11:11 pm visualizing peace! food and shelter for all peoples! abundance! free and clean energy! Compassion and care for our beautiful Earth and for all our animal companions! meaningful, purposeful, joyful work!

As Lightworkers - those who feel called to a deeper connection and understanding, we can stand with Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones to hold a light of love, acceptance, allowance, gratitude, and peace in ourselves, for our finances, and for all those frightened, alone, unaware.

Lighthouses are built in rocky, dangerous terrain, not in comfy, plushy areas. Shining a light in the darkness is not only a metaphor for us -- it is something that we can do - and are doing - to make a difference.

What is the value of positive vibration?

This is our shining moment - this is one of the reasons we have chosen to incarnate at this time. We are here now and we can do immeasurable good by sending Love and Light!
