Sacred Offerings Newsletter
Greetings!

It's already past mid-February and winter is almost over! Here in Northern California I have enjoyed the spring-like weather we've had for the past couple of weeks. Unlike the sprouting daffodils and rosy tree blossoms, I knew it wouldn't last. Thus, Tuesday morning's rain was thick and slushy. When I returned home in the evening, my heart sang with the beautiful dusting of snow in our lovely foothills. By noon yesterday, the snow was gone.
 
I hope you find your local weather - seasonal or not - to be another opportunity to experience joy in What Is.
  
Would you like to earn credit toward my Sacred Offerings?
As I continue to develop my website and other Sacred Offerings, it is my intention to create an automated system for downloading purchases, such as audio files of guided meditations and pdf's of e-books, as well as establish an affiliate program for you to support and share my work and benefit from your sharing. In the meantime, I am offering two simple ways to earn credit for my services (and soon-to-be products). 

  1. In the many years of doing readings and teaching classes, I've been blessed with a multitude of testimonials from clients and students. Yet, with my new online scheduling service, there are only a handful of reviews listed (all excellent, of course)... and, I want more reviews! If you've had a reading with me, or have been mentored by me, and want to review my services, you will receive a credit of $10 for an honest review of my business. Please contact me and I will instruct you on how to submit your opinion. (And, yes, I will give you credit if you've already submitted a review).       
  2. I have now uploaded all of my articles to my own website. Rather than letting them live exclusively on Examiner.com (which I won't be writing for anymore) or OM Times Magazine (which I love), I have incorporated a blog page on my new website. And, here again, is your opportunity to offer your opinion! For each comment you post on an article on my website, I will offer $5 in credit (up to $150). With dozens of articles on a variety of subjects, I'm sure there is something that provokes a comment from you! Read my articles on my website.

Whether you submit a review, or comment on one (or more) of my articles, I will extend this credit-earning offer through March 31, 2013.

Do Your Thoughts Create Your Reality?
Do Your Thoughts Create Your Reality?
TIPS AND TOOLS

Here are ten ways to direct your energy as you co-create your reality in the new, more expansive paradigm:    

  1. Discover your Soul's Purpose  Find a master numerologist, astrologer or other expert to help you understand the cosmic patterning of your life. I highly recommend Timothy Glenn. 
  2. Examine your beliefs
    What do you hear yourself repeating? What feels like non-negotiables in the major areas of your life? Ask why.
  3. Recognize your desires
    What do you want and why do you want it? Do these desires come from your ego or your Higher Self? 
  4. Tune in to your emotions
    Pay attention to your moods. What makes your heart sing? What makes you angry? And, more importantly, can you learn to refrain from being swept away by your feelings? 
  5. Notice your habits
    How do you spend your time? What do you value and how do you contribute to those values?
  6. Understand your upbringing
    What messages did you get while growing up? Did you feel abandoned, shameful, or valued by something you did or how well you behaved?
  7. Protect your environment
    Try to limit the people, food and other energies into your space to those which are vibrationally uplifting and clear.
  8. Observe your thoughts
    What are the energetic impulses of your thoughts? Are they fear or trust based? What is the foundation of the thought? Is it about the past, present or future?
  9. Practice presence
    Learn to be in the moment and simply experience What Is.   
  10. Explore the emptiness
    Learn to quiet your mind. Practice yoga, meditation or other techniques to increase your experiences in the void.

CARING FOR YOU
Eating Well
Over the years, I've noticed a very common food and eating pattern for clients and those embarking upon a spiritual journey. As we move through our ascension process, foods can be harder to "digest" and match with our current state of awakening. Interestingly enough, even organic or whole foods can seem incompatible. 
  
As we expand spiritually, it can be hard for the body to keep up. Although we naturally alig
n best with higher frequency, healthier foods, we may find that our shift has been so great, perhaps so expansive in such a short time, that foods just don't agree with us. 

If this is your experience, then do your best to stay within healthy eating habits, while acknowledging your body's need to assimilate all that is happening. Opt for whole, organic, non-GMO foods whenever possible. Drink lots of clean water, and do your best to increase proteins. Pay attention to your body, but don't starve it. Instead, learn to take in smaller amounts more often. 

At this time it is also very important to take in supplements. Though I am not a nutritionist or expert, I have found that many need to increase calcium and especially magnesium. 
AWAKENING
Cosmic Shifts
Recently, I had a bout of vertigo. It hit me while I was driving home in the dark on curvy mountain roads. Oh, and I didn't have anyone else to take the wheel as I carted my kids home!
 
I was surprised to find two things: a dear friend was also hit with vertigo around the same time, and there was a meteor that hit Russia about an hour and a half beforehand.
  
  
Generally speaking, I don't "feel" planetary shifts. I don't have physical sensations of earthquakes or other significant planetary shifts. In all honesty, I have more of a "knowing" of energetic patterns. I feel them psychically and, once tuned in, I can often feel it in my body.
 
So what was the significance in my (and my friend's) vertigo and this meteor?

As we move through 2013 and beyond, we - the collective as well as the Universe - are creating such a dynamic change in our way of being, that is it going to affect the physicality of who we are. In other words, we are merging our light/soul bodies with our physical bodies in a way that has never been done before. The merging of our whole selves is happening in startling and fundamental ways. This, as such, will result in more capabilities, joy and power / life force in our bodies. Indeed, a significant expansion!

Why your thoughts may not be creating your reality
  

One of the fundamental laws we experience when we incarnate on Earth is the law of gravity. As we physically develop in the waters of our mother's womb, we blossom from formlessness into form as gravity gains its pull. In fact, it's gravity that helps us descend into the birth canal as our due date approaches.

Though we live within the law of gravity, many explore experiences which seemingly defy it. From parasailing, to underwater endeavors, to floating in anti-gravity spaces, humans are clearly interested in having more freedom than the law of gravity allows. And what about those outlaws: the highly evolved spiritual masters who have levitated, walked on water or bent spoons with their minds? Third dimensional laws didn't impede these amazing feats! 

As metaphysics becomes more popular in the main stream, a fundamental spiritual law that most will be taught is that our thoughts create our reality. But do they?

Who's thoughts are creating the reality for the brainless embryo which is developing within the mother-to-be who doesn't yet know she is pregnant?

Our thoughts alone do not create our reality. Most of us can identify a compulsive worrier and see that this law doesn't seem to apply.  Likewise, we can name more spiritually evolved individuals who've died of cancer, or experienced some other undesired aspect - like crucifixion, perhaps. And, within the spectrum, we can find a range of human experiences which includes negative people with challenging lives and positive people with joyful lives. With these examples, this spiritual law seems more like a suggestion.

As very complex beings living in a multidimensional universe, there is no one law that rules or dictates every one of our lives. 

As human-spiritual beings we are working with an interesting array of factors - including math. Math? Though we trust that math is a Universal truth, interestingly enough there is debate about whether or not zero has value, and whether zero to the zero power equals zero or equals one. Why does this matter?

Spiritual truths, like math, are simply parameters or thought-forms. Both are useful tools to find a common thread of communication and understanding in an infinite Universe; both help us live within a structure. But do we want to be bound to a simple filament within the vast firmament? What if zero to the zero power equals zero and equals one?

One would think that by indicating that spiritual truths are thought-forms, we do indeed create our reality with our thoughts. In the grander scheme of things, the "cosmic we" does. However, the Cosmic We isn't easily accessible to the average incarnated human, and most human thoughts come from the vibrationally-challenged construct known as the ego.

Our upbringing and environment contribute to our reality's patterning, while our actions, emotions and beliefs are major factors in its creation. Even more significant are our Soul's intentions, which can be revealed through astrology, numerology, "Human Design" or other illuminating systems.  

In addition to having countless factors and impulses, we exist within a matrix of form. This construct has been agreed to by a collective; a "greater" body of consciousness which includes all beings and the cosmos, otherwise known as the Cosmic We. This structure has "laws" -  or guidelines, really - which the Cosmic We have established. For the most part, we have agreed to the "terms of use" and abide by these agreements. 

Yet, as egoic human thoughts are a much smaller formations within the larger matrix, we are thinking inside a massive box and thus do not have complete freedom to create with thoughts alone. Generally speaking, thoughts are "light" and fleeting and must be "densified" to take form. Repeated thought-forms, emotions and habits add density. As well, the densification ability grows exponentially with the advancement of the soul - until it becomes null and void, that is.  

 

Newer souls on the human-spiritual journey operate from a vibrational patterning that differs greatly from an advanced soul, thus their thought-impact will also differ. Principally, newer souls with a "quieter" vibrational tone are not able to manifest with thoughts alone.  Spiritually awake individuals - which happen to be the majority of people attracted to the New Age movement - find resonance and results with this method of manifesting and this is why "our thoughts create our reality" is considered a spiritual law by most.
