Soul Speak

Living in your heart = being free and true to all that you are!

Soul Family

There are those we are born related to in blood, and there are those out there whom we are related to in our souls, these latter are our soul family members. Sometimes a blood relative is also a soul family member. I am fortunate that in my life I have found several members of my soul family, and they have always shown up at the just right point in my life and in theirs. I hope to find many more too in this lifetime!

How to recognize your soul family members? When you are going through times of chaos and challenge they are the ones that show up with help, no strings attached. You often feel a glow of unconditional love coming through to you from them. They lift you up, help you to see clearly, they give you a boost, or show you that you can do it yourself when you are in doubt and uncertaintly. They can also show up when you are getting your life on track and really shine, this really attracts them to you. They can be spread out all over the world, or you may find some right near you where they've been all along. In any case they always feel like a familiar long lost pal or friend. They may feel like there were past lives spent together. Be present to how you feel when you meet new people, although hard to ignore that deja vu feeling they give off, you never know!

When you find your soul family there is love, connection, and universal feelings of upliftment of being home. So what exactly is a soul family? This answer can vary in belief structures, but with what I have found is they are a group of souls closely connected to one anther through their creation process, but also of their own choice interestingly! When a soul is created by Source, or The Creator, each is like a little light that has been separated from the Godhead (Whole One Light) and goes off to have it's own experiences and live as an individual. This is happening all the time and there are souls going back into the Godhead to be One with Creation yet again also.

So when a few little lights (souls) are sent off together, as they travel down through the planes into ours, along the way they touch each other and merge practicing remembering who they are, and those they find they fit with well, they decide are their family. Part of learning to be human. So once they incarnate into human form on Earth as babies, they go through a forgetful period which physically grounds them here, then one of remembering, and often during this process they reencounter those they are familiar with that share part of their energy.

So be aware, keep your heart open, and your soul family will show up throughout your lifetime. The whole population of Earth is one kind of soul family, but the one I speak of is much more intimate and more closely tied to your unique frequency. Love to all, xo

Being Clear

When you are clear, the world is clear inside and outside of self, even your physical appearance changes. Have you ever seen yourself fully clear? The soul recognizes and sees you in your purest state, this is your highest potential.

Spirit and Being Present

Everyone seems to find something different when they are being present. What I find is there are many layers to our perception of reality, these layers overlap with no beginning nor end, and they are infinite. Just as the space inside a molecule and the universe is too! I've had moments where I have sensed beyond the 1st physical layer, quite accidentally most of the time, and I have seen the interconnectedness of it all, literally. It is marvellous and I would love it if everyone could experience this too! :)

Something that gives a different perspective is that we are our spirit or souls. We are not our bodies or minds although they are a part of us, and that we are surrounded by spirit living in a spirit world. The air is thick with all forms of life all around us all the time(even the bible says this)...yes, spirit is a form of life, or a life-form. Spirit is not a left over from lives that we live on earth, we come from them. They see us as we see them, we are as ghosts in their world as they are in ours! We are simply on a physical layer and they are on a layer beyond the physical, and yet sometimes we can sense one another because it is all connected. And oh how many fear this connectedness!

Around everyone now is this fullness of spirit, thought, and creation swirling with possibilities. We are simply living one small aspect of what it is to be immersed in this.

Maybe this has happened to you before...you are waking up first thing in the morning, your brain isn't awake yet! You can really feel this sense of life and fullness all around you, you might even see fleeting shadows or movement around you or in the room? This is part of that other layer just beyond.

If you haven't experienced this perhaps you have when you were falling asleep? It is in this in-between time that you can tap into much more and open your perceptions. Our ancestors used to consider these dream time visions and regarded the information that comes during these times as important messages from beyond. Every now and then I have some amazingly relevant information come through while in this state. See if you can too and I'd love to hear about it.
Blessings and happy presence!

Remember Yourself

If I could only live at the pitch that is near madness
When everything is as it was in my childhood
Violent, vivid, and of infinite possibility:
That the sun and moon broke over my head.

Then I cast time out of the trees and fields,
Then I stood immaculate in the Ego:
Then I eyed the world with all delight,
Reality was the perfection of my sight.

And time has big handles on the hands,
Fields and trees a way of being themselves,
I saw battalions of the race of mankind
Standing stolid, demanding a moral answer.

I gave the moral answer and I died
And into a realm of complexity came
Where nothing is possible but necessity
And the truth wailing there like a red babe.

By Richard Eberhart


Well that poem is certainly a powerful message in itself! What I would like to talk about today is something that has mystified me and boggled my brain for as long as I can remember...

Children are born into this world knowing who they are and can simply Be who they are quite happily. They see the world full of magical possibilities and understand the timelessness of it all without question. Do you remember that time when you were young? It was magnificent wasn't it?
What happened? When did you lose it? Why did it not last?
Children are born with nothing wrong with them, they have a biological natural spiritualplan built into them, they are wired correctly for being connected to all and expect this to be nurtured. We are all wired this way, by which I mean our mind/brain is made to be able to connect to each other on a deep level and to sense oneness and godness in all. It's there in everyone of you. From an early age we are taught to ignore this, to disbelieve this, to fear this, and to be ashamed of this connection we all have.
We are taught that the world is not infinite, that it is only what our 5 senses tell us it is, that we are mortal, that we are our bodies, and that we are the products of our environments. What a shame isn't it?

"We have a cultural notion that if children were not engineered, if we did not manipulate them, they would grow up as beasts in the field. This is the wildest fallacy in the world." Joseph Chilton Pearce

What if I told you that our minds/brains are designed for the most spectacular functions, most of which none of us have even scratched the surface with now? These innate abilities are just beginning to be discovered and developed, this is part of the 'shift' spreading throughout the world. We have an unending drive to develop these abilities, this is why so many are so strongly attracted to enlightenment, to being in the NOW, to psychic abilities, to telepathy, to manifesting your dreams, to creating and creation, spirituality , theosophy , God, and so on and so forth.
We are starting this journey, it's very exciting, we are evolving.
Intelligence from an early age can be nurtured or stunted, fed or starved just as the body can be. Do you remember when you were growing up that deep sad disappointed and anxiety ridden feeling that the bubbled up inside you every time someone caused you to see the world as less than you thought it was? It was from those points on that you began to lose that 'connection' to all this is and veer off the inherited path away from the plan nature has intended us for. Then the battle starts between what you have been taught is right and real and the driving intent to express your creative and miraculous self. Your true self then starts to become forgotten and you start to feel disconnected, lonely, lost, and abandoned. Such is disappointment in childhood, we are taught this is just a normal stage of development, or becoming 'mature.' This separation of ourselves from one another is extroadinarily painful and if you don't believe me just look around at the state of children and their minds today. ADD, ADHD, and all sorts of nervous and anxiety disorders they suffer, suicide rates, not to mention the violence they inflict on each other and how 'hard' some of them seem to be from an early age.
Now here's an idea you might find very interesting,,,,the great people who have lived on earth, the ones that could perform miracles, the greatest spiritual teachers, ones who have possessed impossible abilities, those who have thrived here in this plane, they have done so because they didn't unlearn what they already knew at birth! They held onto all or some of the knowing and being that they were born with! We were all born with this, and it is those few that kept what they already had that made them great! There is nothing to learn, only a remembering to do here. You already have everything you need now.
If you can go back to when you knew yourself, you will know yourself.
If you can remember what it was to be truly 'alive' you can be 'alive'
When you knew the world was infinite and timeless, you can have that now!
Just believe it, know it and live it. No longer be disappointed, be inspired, no longer be told you are less than you are, be the creator you KNOW you are. Remember.
Remember, remember.

Creativity and The Shift

I was taught growing up that art was just for eccentrics, music would never earn me a living, and that creative dance was just a fools silly past time. Well this message caused me many doubts but I carried on with all my 'hobbies' over the years. I was told that to have respect and earn a living you had to give up your hobbies and hunker down and work hard at something you didn't enjoy but paid the bills. And what's worse, being female, it was just known that if I didn't chose to work and be single then I should just get married and be supported by a man.
For me my childhood could be described as unpleasant by some but really it wasn't that bad, I enjoyed myself immensely. I had music, dance and art. None could take them from me, no one could make them less than they were, and yet nobody ever thought very much about it either. I may not be the greatest artist, I may not dance very well and my music, well it's just average, but I love it and when I'm practicing one form or another of creativity I feel glorious!
In my reality here there is very little importance placed on creative endeavors, they are sort of seen as child's play. But really we could not get along without them, so why such a shift in thinking away from creativity? Perhaps it's just me and there has been no such shift. Maybe it's just in this part of the world. Maybe.
Why does it feel as though the world is taking such wonderful steps forward in so many areas and so many steps backwards in other areas. For one thing, money has become a priority above all else, and what's wrong with that picture? Just imagine for a moment the world run by money? You don't have to imagine very hard for that is what it is today. Think about how advanced science is and how we probably have enough knowledge to solve all the problems of the world with the economy, with medicine, and with society in general. Now think about how money runs everything.....what if there was a cure for cancer but the medical world is keeping that to itself because there is no profit from curing everyone....what if there was a way to end world hunger/poverty (and there is) but no one would get rich if this problem was solved so it remains just so, what if money just wasn't as important to everyone suddenly? What if we just boycott the need to be rich and have tons of money all together? What if we just woke up one day and realized we only need so much of the stuff and we can just get by on less? A smaller home? Less fancy clothes? Less expensive everything??? Funny to think about isn't it? What if those of us who have very little suddenly just received what they needed from those who have more than they need?
So many things would change,,,,there would be a sense of community among those who live close to each other,,what a thought, could you imagine? lol. The commercials on TV would suddenly change from selling freakishly proportioned barbies and guns for little boys to play with to selling things that people really need. Commercialism would die it's much needed death. People would stop and smell the roses more, the crazy pace we all keep to get ahead would slow down. Teens might stop rebelling, no wait that won't ever happen! But it may be milder. People will be nicer to each other. So many things would change, I'm sure you can think of many more.
There is going to be a rise in this type of thinking soon if not already in motion. Downsizing is suddenly going to become many people's best friend. Creativity is going to make a comeback and people are going to learn to live on less but be so much richer for it but not in the monetary sense of 'rich.' Priorities are going to change quite a lot from what they are today in general. I sense that this is the 'shift' that everyone is going on about now, if not then I'm just a crazy person discussing crazy notions. lol. And that's ok.
What are we going to do with the world? Will this shift ever happen?

Getting out of your head

I used to long for a teacher to come along and teach me all these things, and then someone said to me one day, "when you are ready the teacher shall appear, and until then BE the teacher you long for."
What a funny thing this was to hear, to me this sounded like I should just give up. But I didn't and that's what brought me here and that's why I'm doing all this.

There is something I would love to share if I can manage to put it into words. There is this sense now when I open my awareness up. Such a beauty and an inspirational feeling I receive when I'm among the natural environment, (outdoors I mean). Perhaps I'm just becoming more grounded now, not sure.
When I look at a tree or a plant or water I can feel it, it feels like it's part of me. This is very hard to describe. It feels like part of my consiousness is expanded but returned to me at the same time. I'll try to do better than that. For example when I look at a tree I get this feeling of going very deeply down into solidness and an opening up from above, there's also a feeling in the roof of my mouth that changes, my eyes feel different too like I'm looking through another set of eyes that is not looking but simply awareness of the I amness of it all. Yes, a tree is a tree, lol, and it knows it is. Why do we not know who we are? It is so simple and yet we so blindly confuse ourselves by being in our heads and thoughts all the time.

There is something so important about not being in your head all the time. Do you know what I mean?
Well being in your head to me means that you are overthinking things all the time, you over analyze things to the point that you don't know what to think anymore, ego is having free run, and that you are not grounded in who you are. This getting out of my head has been a hard lesson for me, one that I'm still learning to master. I have found I recognize this in others very easily and have been at a loss as to what to do to help them see it. Perhaps that's not my job, lol, but it was pointed out to me and it helped me a great deal!

I will begin by saying that today we recognize the three parts of ourselves generally speaking as the mind, body, soul, or the consious, unconsious and super consious.
Many of us understand the role our body plays in our life as our physical vessel, the soul is something we are all striving to understand and hear, and the mind is what trips us up over and over when it becomes stronger than the other two and so often is, and this is when we need to get over ourselves and get out of our heads because true awareness and connection is not made through the head but through the heart and soul.
So to get out of your head so you can hear your soul and feel oneness you must learn to be your own master. Is that easy? No. But it doesn't have to be complicated. One thing I learned was to become the observer of my thoughts. I learned some affirmations I will share here you may find useful;
"I am the observer of my thoughts"
"I am the awareness beyond my thoughts"
"I am free to think positive thoughts and rethink the negative ones"
"I release all thoughts that do not serve my higher purpose"
"I am the creator of my own thoughts and I take responsibility for them"
"I am aware of which thoughts arise from fear and which thoughts arise from love"
"I choose to be consious and awaken my soul to a higher level"

I hope these can help a little. The other things you can do is to be as grounded as possible and follow your quiet inner voice instead of your thoughts, after all YOU are NOT your thoughts, YOU are not your body either, but YOU are your SOUL. It is what you come into the world with and it's all you get to leave with so treasure and honour it.
Getting out of your head is but one lesson on the path to higher consiousness and awareness but I found it a really important one. When you are not ruled by your head (or ego) you will know who you are, you will not question yourself and your decisions all the time, you will be more firmly planted in the inner knowing of yourself, you can hear your soul or inner voice more clearly, your thoughts won't rule you, you won't lay awake night after night thinking things and worrying about things over and over, you may cure your insomnia, lol, your dreams will reflect a more peaceful YOU, you may even find such a lovely coming home to yourself feeling like you've never known, and I hope you do.
Blessings all and always. Continue on your journey and may you know yourself, your true self.

Reclaiming your Shadow Self

You may be wondering, what the heck? Reclaim your Shadow Self? Why would you want to do that? Isn't the Shadow Self a part of you that you don't want? A part of you that is bad and dark and nasty? So why claim it? Why recognize it?
Because it's a part of you and to deny it only makes it surface in another form usually as a mirror in another person that is close to you. Perhaps I better explain what I feel is the shadow self. It's an interesting archetype discovered by Carl Jung. That's how I first heard of it anyway.
The shadow self is an unconscious or unaware area of your mind. It is the repressed, suppressed or unowned qualities of the conscious self. There are both constructive and destructive aspects of a person's shadow self. To own or discover these qualities transforms them and is incredibly healing to ones consciousness.
This process can be quite threatening to some but I would choose to simply see it as an inner transformation to becoming more aware in your everyday life. It brings more light into your life and definitely helps you to find a sense of peace. Personally I found it incredible and it assisted me in my own awakening which is still an ongoing process.

"Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is
embodied in the individual’s conscious life,
the blacker and denser it is.
At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag,
thwarting our most well-meant intentions."
— Dr. Carl G. Jung

How to recognize your shadow self? Well this is how I do it...
If you can be 100% honest with yourself, take a look at all the people in your life, look at your relationships that you've had over your whole life. Now take a deeper look for a moment and do you see a pattern emerging? Do you attract the same kinds of people over and over? Somewhere in there is an aspect of your shadow. I'm not talking about the nice loving people( however they are a lighter side of your shadow), no, I'm talking about the ones that hurt you, that cause pain and grief, the ones that push your buttons and make you feel irrational, rude, emotional, distressed, repulsed, angry, and just plain, old, uncomfortable. Those ones.
What kind of person keeps popping up in your life that has some of these effects on you?
Keep going, I am going somewhere with this I promise...
Make a list of all the feelings and emotions these people bring out in you that really bother or upset you.
Now the hard part. I want you to take responsibility for bringing these people and these experiences into your own life. Yes, you did it to yourself! You have to own this and take responsibility for it. This is part of your shadow that you have yet to transform. Once transformed these things will not bother you, there will be a shift, an inner transformation will occur. It's true and it works, and I speak from personal experience, 100%.
Change your attitude from one of blame to responsibility, and an amazing shift will happen! Unconsciously you did attract it to you in one form or another. This doesn't happen instantly, so be patient with yourself and do it gradually perhaps with each person or relationship on your list. How you feel on the inside does affect your external environment. What is within us will also be outside of us.
Then what I did was I took each emotion I took a long look at myself, and made another list of all the times I unknowingly acted in this way myself! I claimed these actions or emotions as my own. Yuck! It was hard medicine to swallow I'm telling you! But I did it.
After I felt lighter and sort of cleansed. I thought "but how can this do anything to help me? What could it possibly change about the horrid people I was attracting in my life?" And there were a few.
Well, after that work I noticed that these people stopped irritating me as much, they didn't rub me the wrong way so to speak the way they did before. I think it was because I was so aware of how I had been reacting to them in the past and I had changed that. My whole environment changed in a matter of weeks. It was amazing, I felt so free and in charge of myself for a change. It's still ongoing. I never stop paying attention now. Whenever I come across someone I can't stand or they irritate me, I stop and think for a minute, why? What about them really bothers me? And usually I can find some part of me that I dislike that I find familiar in them. Then my defenses lower, I see them in a different light, and they relax and everyone gets along just fine.
Doing this work also breaks the pattern of negative energy being drawn to you, it changes the types of people you attract into your life, it changes your relationships. I always said, so funny, that I never changed but everything around me had changed. But really it was just me. I didn't have to confront the people that bothered me to set things right, I didn't have a battle of wills on my hands anymore, and I didn't have to feel like I was getting ready to go into battle every time I was around certain individuals.
Other examples that you can also catch your shadow coming through when you have a slip of the tongue. You know when you say something silly or rude to someone and then say "just kidding," or "just joking," right after saying it. You did mean it, it was an aspect of your shadow speaking. Or when someone makes a comment about you in regards to your character and you feel defensive after hearing it, or you say, "I'm not at all like that!" That's part of your shadow trying to remain unseen. Another example is in the people you really like and are really attracted to but could not imagine yourself being like. The attributes they possess that you really admire are actually other clues as to what your unconscious side is crying out for you to explore. This is the law of opposites at work. These people are usually totally different than you are, or the opposite.

It is impossible to learn and grow as human beings if we only know one side of ourselves. Why not know as much as we can and evolve. This shadow work has done wonders for me and I will continue doing it on a daily basis. That is why I'm sharing it here. Thanks to all who read it. I hope it works for you as well as it did for me.

Living Consciously

In this life we are all destined to meet challenges, learn life lessons, and grow.  As each generation emerges from the one before it we know that things shall either improve and change or recede and become stagnant.  In order to blossom and grow we need to recognize that each of us, no matter who we are, have a responsibility to grow with a forward motion into the next chapter of humanity.
Taking this into consideration is one of the tasks that has been lent to us by the higher power that is within each of us.  Becoming present and entering the full awareness of who we are as a whole, as one, has become a much needed antidote to our civilization's path.
Listening to the inner silence within becoming a voice that one recognizes cannot be emphasized enough on this path.
I urge this consumerist society to render itself obsolete to being a slave to that which is not truly important, but for each individual to come through unscathed in their own glory of who they truly are.  Remembering that we all can do this, we can and must.
Becoming enlightened these days, is not an easy thing.  It means stepping up, becoming more and rising above your fears, your dreams, your illusions of self.  It's about finding your own path and guide within.
Reclaiming your space and the right to be you in this world that we created is where we must begin. Living consciously means living up to your potential to reach out and truly treat each other with kindness and compassion,  inheriting the means to do so, and being fully aware of each step that you take forward is a step in the right direction.

Channeled message by my higher self

Ultimately we are only responsible for ourselves, and can only lead by example of how we live our own lives. You are not responsible for other's feelings and emotions, only our own. We can only work on ourselves and move forward, initiate change and resolve to move. When you work on yourself through healing and self awareness you start a chain reaction that will touch every area of your life, and therefore those around you. People around you will sense these changes and will either embrace and accept them, or they will simply slip out of your life. The people that are not ready for change or are negative will simply not be tolerated any longer by your energy and will clearly be repelled by it. It is simply the law of attraction. Goodness and awareness attracts goodness and awareness, and so the opposite is true also.

Worrying about the future and the past is futile, there is only now, so just start there. What do you wish to change? How do you wish to be seen by others? These are the moral dilemmas of an ever changing world and society. Through universal truth the answers only lie within you waiting discovery.

The work done to heal yourself is yours and is sacred, seek guidance and counselling to facilitate the healing. Feel yourself moving and keep the momentum going. Just ask the universe to provide what you need, seek direction and it shall come. Just ask for it, and it shall be delivered.

There is such a strong mind, body, spirit connection within us all and has been ignored for so long by many. Clearing out the old to make way for the new you is the best thing you can do for everyone in your life, especially you. Do not ignore the feelings you have, listen if you have fear, pay attention if you are experiencing pain, they are all intuitive messages or signals that something is not right inside. God always throws a pebble, before he throws a brick at you.

If you are in an unhappy situation, remember you were the one that lead you there in the first place, something has to happen to trigger this realisation, when it does, don't ignore it, go with it and see where it will lead. To feel renewed and have a sense of hope for the future is something we are all entitled to. You do have a right to be cherished and loved, no one can take this from you. You are the only one that can be in charge of your changes. Awaken the god or goddess within you and grasp the concept of freedom. It's all yours just waiting for you to reach out for it.

Freedom is gained through discipline and knowledge, just as Adam and Eve were sent from the garden of Eden, so must you be set free from the comforts of the negative patterns and restraints of your life in order to be happy. Even in our most miserable moments, we cling to false hope that someone will save us or rescue us. Only you have that power, it cannot be done riding on the coat tails of others. A new path is forming ahead of you, and the sun rises each day to prove just this is true. Just imagine the sun shining on your face, it radiates warmth and light, it is good, it is whole, it is connected to everything, it is unlimited, so are you. Feel this, you have the right to feel it. Deep inside you, you know this is the universal truth.

Channeled Message, one of the first I ever did...

THis is Anna and another 3 guides who came together to speak with a friend and I. So if you see me say we, well that's because she was speaking for more than one of her kind. My friend said that she could sense Anna at my feet, one on either side of me and one at my head. I didn't end up going into full trance here, just close to it.

"Let the last vestiges of our reality slip away. To become one. It's who you really are. Slip away and forsake the rest, there's many many levels to time. The tip is only touched on one level at this time on the cave of knowledge that you seek is below the level of your understanding. You may be not forgotten but remembered within the space of keeping with who we really are. In the circle that is round there's this level which we are from. We take you there to travel among us now as one of us. Seeing with beckoning and surrendering to sink between this utter sense of being to better understand how we see and how we work is to go and be among us. Now the mechanics of that which you see us as are not important.

Step aside and will it just to happen. The Grid will not unravel it's mysteries, It is foretold the light will shine for those who seek it. Bring us now to why we are here. Peace and stillness is where we are now. Know not what you fear, it is but an illusion of entrapment. The coccoon that wraps you in itself must be taken apart one strand at a time, little ones know this without it being spoken. The energy of the ground that is the death of the ego, it comtemplates a spiritual upheaval and rapusement. The words we choose are often misinterpretted and to speak of your toungue is limited by your vocabulary. There is no higher mystical realm than that of your own animal instincts, we speak to you as you have asked us.

Question #1: How might people bring more light into their lives?

People might bring more light in by letting theirs shine more brightly. Light attracts more light. It is that simple. (I think I said this somewhere else?) The natural order is that to have more light it must come from within and reach into us and shine on our darkest corners of our hearts and on our soul's purpose.

Question #2: Does every relationship have a purpose? Is it true that by changing yourself you can change the relationship?

The idea that we can change is only on the surface, the feelings and emotions connected to those relationships we have are only considered temporary as a stage that passes through time and overlaps one another. It is a reflection of yourself to learn from. It is your guide to show you where you need to focus so you can grow and evolve. The more pain there is and heartache, the more you grow through the choices that you make. Take wisdom from it. Don't be bitter. I , Anna, am not one that thinks of relationships in the sense that you do. I see that as a way of forsaking your true path. The endless search, like Christ on the cross, was for the people. It is a beginning and an end.
The quench for social interaction and reconnections that people feel for one another; it is just that connection that you know in your souls that you had when you were of the spirit.

Spirit knows no bounds of the physical kind. Sex is in your understanding or terms is simply a manifestation of the soul's longing to go home. I know not of that longing for I am not physical and am connected. You wish to quench your thirst through physical affection. To hear how we see, we have risen above that which you seek. You will be happy when you realise this. That disjointed prolonged suffering and the pain, there's so much of it in your world, reconnect the spirit and dissolve the pain.
