Universal PMS ~ More Commonly Known As Your Spiritual Awakening & The Ascension


WELCOME TO UNIVERSAL PMS!

More commonly known as the Ascension, your Spiritual Awakening, The Transition, and so on, Universal PMS includes (but is in no way limited to) Confusion, Mood Swings, Paranoia, Impatience -Emotional and mental confusion -Sudden waves of emotion -A sense of impending-ness -Impatience.

With all that is going on with us and around us, it isn't any wonder that so many people are walking around dazed, confused, tempers flaring, emotional outbursts of every kind for any reason and/or season. And have you noticed that patience is sorely lacking these days? More so than ever before?!! 
 
Then there is this overwhelming sense of something is about to happen ... an impending-ness ... if you will.    Though you're never quite sure what it is exactly, you can feel that IT coming!  You just know it is! So much so ... that at times ... it borders on paranoia! 

Of course, that's when you take it upon yourself to anticipate "it" ... whatever "it" is ... and it's every move. You go around snapping at people, all the while they are staring at you with this deer caught in headlights look.  We're yelling at them for something usually  insignificant like having "that look" on their face or in their eyes. Which probably was just them going into shock by all the screeching, slamming doors and throwing things! 

You throw a temper tantrum over someone not closing the door or picking up a gallon of ice cream that you failed to ask them to pick up on their way home or something else really minor; and then you get cranky when someone hasn't read your mind or anticipated YOUR every move and cater to your needs at that given time! All of which (and more) has you coming across like you are some escapee from the local mental hospital. 

Okay, perhaps they did look like they were thinking things they shouldn't! And yes, maybe, just maybe they could have closed that door. And no doubt they could have at least called before leaving work or on their way home to ask if you needed anything! At least that is YOUR reasoning and justification of the events! 

Then there is having to wait when we aren't really in the mood!

Long lines, traffic lights, traffic jams, being put on hold, having to listen to your significant other, neighbor, kids, co-worker, yammer on and on and on about something that really has no bearing on anything important to you at that given moment ... and no doubt in your present state of mind ... never will.

You probably find yourself thinking all sorts of horrid things you could do to them as they continue with their endless chattering ... all the while mustering the strength not to actually carry your fantasies through!

It’s like having PMS 24/7 isn't it?

Well Ladies, the GOOD NEWS is ... Men are experiencing this as well! 

Yes Gentlemen! You now have some measure of understanding of what we women go through most of our adult lives. 

But why are these emotional ups and downs occurring?  That question will be answered in Part 2 of this series!

Let Freedom Ring!

Thanks to the Cooper-Clayton Tobacco Cessatation Program, my wonderful bosses and Louisville Metro Government, this year, I am celebrating an additional freedom--The Freedom of being a non-smoker!!!! 

No longer a slave to nictotine, I am enjoying my life more than ever! 

The money I have saved in the five months of being smoke free reaches into the thousands.  Not just for the packs of smokes, but the money spent on the extra bottles, cans and such of Fabreeze,  shampoo, perfume, deoderant, powder, air freshners and incense and other cleaning products and paint!!!!

Becoming smoke free was the best thing I could have ever done!  And it is one freedom in particular I am thoroughly enjoying!

Now that I no longer smoke, my taste and smell have dramatically improved!  Food and drink tasts so much better now.    Walking, running, climbing stairs are not so bad now.   

And let's not forget that awful hacking cough!  It is history baby!!!

Sleeping is better too. 

And in addition to all the above, I have also dropped 23 pounds and one full dress size!!!! 

Yep!  Lot's to celebrate!  



~*~*~*~*~



If you or someone you love is ready to become smoke free, please consider the Cooper-Clayton Method. For more information please visit their website: http://www.stopsmoking4ever.org/






Wishing You & Yours a Very Happy and Safe Fourth of July!

How To Keep Your Pets Calm, Safe Over July 4th Holiday


Here's a helpful checklist for pet owners to reduce the chances of their pets running away during the loud festivities. Check out the tips below:

Keep your pet secured indoors in the quietest room of your home while fireworks are being set off. You can also use soothing music or television as a distraction. Some pets will stay calmer when placed in a secure crate in a darkened, quiet room.

If your pet is normally kept outside, bring them inside or put them in a garage or basement while fireworks are going off.

Make sure your pet has at least two forms of identification. This can be a pet license and personalized tag, a license and a microchip, or all three (license, tag, and microchip). Pets with ID have a much greater chance of being returned to their owners.

Don't assume that your pet won't react just because you haven't had problems in the past. Sometimes pets become sensitive to loud noises later in life.

If your pet is lost, check in person at all local shelters, and check back often. It may take some time before spooked pets are brought to shelters.

Where Does Fear Come

This article,  originally entitled Tree of Love, was  written and posted by me on January 2, 2010 on my Say No To Fear blog.    I thought I would repost it here on my main blog under the more appropriate title, Where Does Fear Come From?

It's quite lengthy.  But I hope you take the time to read it carefully and thoroughly.  If you have any questions and/or comments, please do not hesitate to leave them here.


*~*~*~*~*~*~


The following is a message I received during one of my daily meditations.   It is in answer to one of the questions I posed ... where does fear come from?

As a psychic medium, I am accustomed  to being visited by spirits of all walks of life--past, present, and yes, future.  I am always pleasantly surprised when I am visited by the spirits of people I've only heard about.   Like the numerous others who have visited me over the years, I only knew of him.  I never really bothered to read up on him or learn of his work in any manner.  In fact,  I had first heard of him in 2006 when I first met Vaishali.

In human life, he had been an 18th Century Swedish Scientist, Philosopher and Spiritual Explorer, who at the age of 56,  had a spiritual awakening and wrote numerous books on his theological views and related topics.  His name of course is Emanuel Swedenborg.

I had felt his presence in times past, usually when I was talking with Vaishali, but never really paid that much attention.  In truth, I ignored him.  I wasn't ready to hear anything he had to say, so I just chose to pretend I couldn't see or hear him.

The week before I was presented the answer to my question,  I felt Emanuel's energies filter through my room.  I could tell from the way these energies were intensifying, I would not be in any position to  ignore him as I had in times past.   Any well seasoned medium will tell you, whenever a spirit insist on being acknowledged they have something extremely important to convey.  And seeing I needed clarity  I thought what the hell ... I'll give it a go!


So I asked him ... Where does fear come from?


He explained to me in detail that everything comes from one energy ... an energy we human experiencers call Love.  "In our true forms," he told me,  "we have another name for it,  but it doesn't translate over into human language, so while we are in physical form the word Love is used in it's place."  The actual word for this energy is so complex that he had to write it out for me.  Upon seeing it in writing I came  to understand why we use that four letter word.  Trust me when I say, it's a humdinger!

Emanuel explained that Love is the only energy capable of creating in such massive proportions.  He pointed out how this energy expresses itself in infinite ways.  I found this utterly ridiculous ... at first.   So to prove his point,  Emanuel showed me a tree that seem to go on forever.     He pointed at the base of the tree which was incredible!  It was bigger than a city.  Literally! 


He told me ... "this tree you see here represents Love."    He further went on to say:   "Each of the  branches you see on this tree contributes to the splendid collaboration of what you  see.  Without the branches, the tree would not  be complete. "

"Keep in mind that each branch is an expression of the tree, but not the tree itself.   All the branches make up the wondrous creation you see here.  Note that even the branches have smaller extensions of itself.  See how each stretch out and express upon itself.  Beautiful is it not?  As you can see, all aspects of the tree work in harmony to provide comfort and beauty to all those who come in contact with it.  As it is with the tree, so it is with you."

"Like this tree, you too have infinite expressions.  Your base ... your trunk if you will ... is always Love.    There is no separation from this.  If that were true, then you would have no branches.  Whatever it is you are expressing, be it anger, hatred, jealously or any type of fear, you are coming from that one particular aspect of the one energy ... Love.  Love, is the energy of creation, there is no separation ... only expression."

How can this be?

"Love expresses itself in this vast manner for the soul to experience the variations of Creator energy.  It is why you took on physical form, it is why you chose the challenges you have in this life and all the others before this.  Without physical experience of those expressions, you would not come into full understanding of what Love is.  What it truly is."

So when I am experiencing fear, I am sitting on one particular branch to see what it's like?

"Yes! Yes!  That is precisely what you are doing!"

Emanuel  pointed to the lower branches that were close to the base of the tree.  "These branches represent the many aspects of fear.   See how each twig has sprouted from these branches?  These are the representation of each fear you experience.  Note how each twig slightly differs."

So when we climb up, we get a clearer view of what is transpiring?

"Absolutely! And let us not forget our roots!  The roots expand out and connect to all the other trees creating a unique and beauteous connection.  It is a connection that reaches out to all creation.  This connection creates a network."

What effects one effects all.

"Precisely!"

Looking up I couldn't see the top, but I began to be filled with an understanding.   It was an understanding that had always been there, but now was being absorbed throughout my entire being.

The tree grows up and forever, connecting us to Creators.  Our roots connects us here in the 3-Dimensional physical plane ... to all creation here.  I was more or less mumbling to myself at this point.  I saw from the corner of my eye that Emanuel was smiling.  It was then I realized I was standing in the midst of a forest so grand that even now it defies description.

"Now that you understand, share with others what you have learned."

And with that, Emanuel was gone.


*~*~*~*~*~*



When we look at a tree, we don't always notice the varying degrees of those branches.  How they sometimes twist and turn a certain way.  How they some times take on a life of their own at times.

Sometimes we just look at the tree as a whole, not taking in consideration the beautiful detailed and various independent expressions that make up that tree.   We just take for granted it is a tree with one particular purpose.

Same goes for Love itself.   Interesting isn't it?  How we are so focused on Love being one certain way we fail to notice the other aspects this energy entails.


I am left to wonder as I ponder my next question.  If we truly believe that all of creation is made up of this energy we call Love ... then why do we dismiss so much and claim so little?

Ahhh!  Now the plot really thickens!

Namaste!

Help Protect the Whales and other Artctic Marine Life!

The whales that live off Alaska's shores have a morning ritual centered on sounds -- sing-song squeals and trills from other whales alerting them to mating and feeding opportunities, or danger, in the area.




But their ritual is in danger of being ruined, which could have a disastrous impact on their lives and the health of the entire Arctic marine environment.



Tell the federal government to shelve its current study about protecting Arctic marine mammals from noise-related impacts of offshore oil and gas development. The study is flawed. It doesn't even come close to protecting marine mammals.
