You are the most sacred of all sacred artworks. You are bringing yourself to life now and this is how it must be. Of course, something being essential doesn’t mean it will always be easy. You must support yourself and have courage during this process. Your monkey mind is not to run the show. It might have a lot to say and at times it seems very convincing, but it is not the one in charge. Your mind can inspire you with ideas. However, it is the real you that speaks through your rebellious sacred heart and is living your life, not the monkey mind. The mind is not much more than a swirling cacophony of habitual reactions.
Beneath habitual thoughts there is a deep sensual, creative and energetic awakening happening to you. It is so far beyond what the mind is now capable of controlling. Others might not like it because it shakes things up – coming to life tends to do that. However, it is happening now and the only real choice you have to make is how to deal with it.
Coming to life means feeling. It might bring joy but it could equally bring sadness, rage or fear. It could bring all of these and more. Feelings will come and go quite swiftly when allowed to flow. You might need to paint, write, enact ritual, sing or dance your feelings to help the energy flow. Don’t hold back. Create the space for yourself to do it. In this process you are uncovering the artistry of the universal creator. You are honoring the sacredness of life by exploring it without restraint and that includes the flow of your feelings. You don’t have to do anything with them other than express. You may want to analyze or you may not. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you are getting in touch with feeling. Learning how to access your feelings allows you to learn how to access your intuition, creative inspiration and genuine internal guidance. These aspects flow from the same place and are often couched within your feelings in the form of emotions as well as physical sensations.
The journey underneath the mind and into the sensual, emotional connection with your feelings, emotions and body is for a sacred purpose. It is a part of your path. You are one of the sacred but powerful minority that have chosen to come into a body and live consciously within it. There are plenty of bodies without a spirit really residing within, to care for, love and honor them as a sacred animal.
Fortunately this minority is powerful enough that it can keep human culture in balance. But only just! We need every single one of us that is capable, to be aware of the task and move beyond the mind into the body.
To come into your sensuality you will need to anchor your experiences. You may be blessed with relationships that are conscious enough to be interested in your journey in a constructive rather than controlling or undermining way. If so, talk! Converse! Share! If not, then you will need to be more resourceful in how you support yourself through your awakening process – at least until you attract some more conscious connections into your life. It is likely that these connections are already on their way.
You can support your own process by scheduling time for yourself and keeping to it like you would the most important date with destiny! So get to writing in your journal. Do your dances. Paint your pictures. Create your creations. Be kind to your body, listen to it and let it be alive. Even in times of pain, know that there will also be ecstasy and bliss as the process of healing and awakening continues.
Be alive! Don’t imagine you can go back to sleep. You are too awake for that now. There is no falling back into old ways. If you do so, it will be short lived and won’t feel the same as it used to. You may grieve this. You will certainly (eventually) celebrate it. You have crossed the threshold from an old way of being in an old life and try as you might, you cannot return to it. It is better to let it go. Grieve if needs be, celebrate if needs be or do both and move on into this moment. There is another adventure awaiting you now. You need a deeper connection to your own instincts, body, feelings and intuitions so that you can receive this new calling. You can trust in it, too. Embrace it and it will embrace you.
Healing process ::
Lie quietly and play some beautiful music that you love. Allow it to move through your body, as though the sound is pure energy and you are as light as air. Let the sound feel good. Let your cells receive the sound energy. Feel the music rattle about in your body, as if the sound waves are making your cells vibrate – they are!
Let there be life.
Get up and move if you wish. If you have emotion rising, be with it but don’t hold on to it. Let it rise and fall as it will.
Be in this process as long as feels right for you.
Feeling you have had enough indicates that you have completed the healing process. You may wish to repeat this exercise daily for several weeks, if so, choose music that feels right for you each time. You can then see the difference this healing process has on your wellbeing, your energy levels and the ease in which you access your intuition and feelings. Also note the clarity in what you perceive. You might be surprised at what a little music therapy, consciously received, can do for you.
Sacred Rebels oracle by Alana Fairchild
We are the ones who choose how to use the energy we embody, and those decisions require that we take authority over our lives and become impeccably accountable. We betray ourselves and our integrity when we participate in situations that demean others. The idea that life is happening to us without our consent or participation is an illusion. Drop-kick that blame through the goalposts of life!
~ Dancing the Dream
I’m sure a lot of you have had this experience where … you’re growing as a person and people tend to treat you like you were eighteen months ago. And it’s really frustrating sometimes, when you’re growing up and becoming more capable … It is the same with a company, and the same with the press – the press is going to have a lag time. The best thing we can do about the press is to embrace them and … keep our eye on the prize … and the press and the stock price will take care of themselves. ~ Steve jobs
As you journey back home with your reward in tow, you realize this is more than a footpath. It’s a weave between who you used to be and who you are becoming. You don’t have to know exactly how this process will unfold from here on out, your only job is to keep your eyes on the prize and follow your North Star. At this moment, your North Star is hanging directly over the place where you started this journey. Consider George Bailey in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Once he completes his life review and has the epiphany that everyone would not be better off without him, he runs back to Bedford Falls, and is home in time to hug and kiss his family and hang the Christmas Star on the tree. He is in the same place as he started but is changed and willing to participate in life from a whole new perspective.
Mantra ::
I am connected with the celestial body of the universe, I have permission to shine at maximum wattage.
Neuroplasticity happens when connections are made across the neural network in our brain. Essentially, our brain creates super-highways that it travels quickly in response to outside stimuli. Thought patterns that are repeated often create massive highways that the thought travels on. The more the thought occurs, the more it will occur.
One of the most effective ways to reprogram the mind, to reformat the consciousness, is through using affirmative statements. I share with you examples that you may find helpful should you wish to use them to assist in reformatting the thinking mind.
Things are being set right.
I have learned many lessons; many mistakes of the past will not be repeated.
I heal.
I withdraw from controversy so I experience less tension.
I embrace the strangeness of this new experience. Even though it challenges my beliefs about self, I open to it and expand.
I am a Sacred Being crafted by the hand of Universal Creator, and I also create.
I am exotic, unusual, sometimes eccentric and even seen as a little bizarre. I make peace with this.
I release any fixed ideas I have about the way things should be.
I free-fall into life. The old way is on its way out.
I accept into my life something new and beautiful. It is coming soon.
I leave my historical experiences behind, retaining only the lessons learned.
I have outgrown my old methods of navigating this life.
My dreams can become reality.
I stay grounded. I remain patient as I contemplate new opportunities. A change for the better is taking place.
I heed the lessons offered by my shadow self. I do not deny this aspect of me.
I know love can give rise to great destruction, and hate can inspire acts of genuine love.
I am not a victim. I remain humble. I forgive those who’ve harmed me.
I am open to wisdom and insights from my elders.

I allow my hopes and dreams to become a reality.
I believe a new and better life is coming to me.
Acknowledge all the areas within yourself that are praiseworthy.
Every smile shared, every good action or even thought, aids in the betterment of the surrounding area and all within that area.
When we raise the vibration of our immediate vicinity others feel it, that pure energy.
Focusing on compassion with an attempt to understand, without judgment …
What hurts one, hurts the whole. Share a smile, project the love in your heart outward.
Make someone’s day … just because you can. There is power in kindness …
We have a physical body we can see. Perhaps the unseen are only unseen because the body’s they inhabit take on the appearance of whatever is around them, effectively blending into the environment. To us, it looks like the environment … but how many actual chameleon-like bodies are surrounding us at all times?
No such thing as being alone.
The human body is an antennae, a water filled electrical conduit, and it picks up on the slightest vibration, whether aware of it or not.
Some think their mood swings are all about their personality, and it sort of is – but for the most part I think they are extra sensitive and picking up on, and sometimes embodying, the energetics of others.
It is important to know what emotions, fueled by whatever type of energy, actually belong to us or are simply being picked up on and felt from another’s output., because not only are we an antennae, we are a power source, and empower that which is circulating within us … whether the thought, feeling or emotion actually belongs to us or not.
This stuff is like tar … it sticks to the energetic body, unless we can become aware of it and consciously release it, let it flow on out like a breath rather than constricting with it.
Taking charge isn’t always loud, sometimes it’s only a whisper in the mind, exercising the will to be as is without accepting the gifts of the wave, the energetic ocean of waves that we walk through and swim in on a daily basis.
Sort of like in the actual ocean where one gets wet, but the inner portion of the body remains as is. In the ocean of vibration, which is filled with waves coming from every aspect of surrounding life, it’s important to be “water proof” and let it roll off like water on feathers.
Physical body, emotional body, mental body, etheric body… and more! Caring for our body’s is so much more detailed than simply what we ‘see’.

I have united polarities of existence.
There are many opinions around you. Some are helpful but others are distracting you from your truth. Although it can be helpful to hear the thoughts of others, when it comes down to it, you will have to come to your own decision. Do you know how unique you are? How your path is your path to be chosen, lived and created – only by you? Someone else cannot become the source of your decision-making power without negative repercussions for both of you in the long run.
You have become swept up in thinking things through. You have been thinking about which way to go with a matter of importance and you have got a bit stuck in the logic of the decision-making process. Sometimes we have to accept that any path is a path forward and if it is not the best path, we can change our approach later on if needed. If we are slightly off-base with a decision, life will often shift and move to guide us back on track. We don’t have to be perfect. In fact, there is rarely ever a perfect choice to be made – just some choices that feel more heart honoring than others. Sometimes we can only really know in hindsight if we made the best choice possible in that moment. At the time of decision-making, we only really have our internal wisdom to rely upon. And that is all we need.
There is no need to punish or traumatize yourself with possible choices. Just making a choice will set things in motion. The best way to catalyze the situation you are in and bring about healing change, stimulate your creative juices and find a more inspired, energized and enjoyable approach to your life, is to just make a choice based on what you feel right now. Not based on anyone else’s feelings. Just yours. So ask yourself – what do I feel right now? And go from there.
If you cannot relate to the need to make a choice between two or more clear alternatives, know this, you are at a crossroads in your journey and the choices you make at this time – even simply choosing to do things a little differently, without much drama associated with the decision – are powerful triggers for some great magic to enter your life.
Take a different approach to something. Be open to that which makes you uncomfortable but could be exciting and interesting. Even small adventures will yield big rewards right now. It matters less that you do the most wonderful thing ever (too much pressure!) and more that you simply take action from your heart. Open up to the creative magic of life and don’t worry about how it is all going to work out. The bigger creative flow of life is sorting out all the details and you are not immune to that plan. In fact you are a natural part of it! So just spend some time with your own feelings and know that all is going to work out perfectly.
Healing process ::
Close your eyes and relax, rest your open palms facing upwards on your legs. Imagine that you have a ball of light in each hand. If you find it hard to visualize or feel, you may prefer to draw this process in your journal instead.
Focus on one ball of light first. What color or colors does it feel like? What feelings, words, symbols or qualities does it have? How heavy or light is it? How substantial? What do you feel about it? Do you like it?
Turn your attention to the second ball of light. Repeat the investigation or exploration that you did for the first.
When you are ready, choose one. There is no wrong or right choice, just whatever captures your attention, energy or heart most at this moment. The other may be there waiting for you later on, if it needs be – or it might be easily released, if that most serves your life’s path and creative journey.
You may like to take that chosen ball of light and imagine sending it our into the universe with love. If you have drawn it, you might like to add words, feelings or colors.
When you have finished, simply say, “My choices flow easily from my heart and I tread my path with certainty and grace, always within the merciful protection of unconditional love. So be it.”
When you are ready, simply open your eyes and you have completed your healing process.

I wandered thru the forest for a couple hours this afternoon, what a wonderful treat.
I was thinking about one whom I await … who is already present in a certain fashion.
I look forward to the great unveiling.
Sang a little diddy about it …
On the way home a woman was decorating her yard. She informed me the ornamentals will be lit up between 5 and 9 pm. Guess I’ll be taking another trip out sometime soon.
Here’s a still shot of the area I enjoyed today, such beauty.
