Embracing All That You Are: Part 1

“Accept what life offers you and try to drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.”
― Paulo Coelho, Brida


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


Many have been asking me what I mean when I say ... Embrace All That You Are!

Simply put ... all your emotions, all that you have been, all you have done, thought and acted upon ...  all that you are in this moment ... right now .... is who you were, who you are--  is what lead you to be who you are in this moment.

Good, Bad, indifferent or downright fugly -- it is, was and continues to be ... YOU!

Embrace It!  

Anger, Ambition, Sadness, Jealously, Hatred, Anxiety, Ignorance, Bigotry ...

They are all part of the great creative energies!  The same exact Creative Energies that created ALL things and ALL beings!

Acknowledge it! Accept it!  Love it!  Embrace It!

You cannot destroy energy!  You cannot suppress it!  For in your attempts at doing so, you will only succeed in it becoming stronger!

These emotions -- these energies -- are not separate from Love as many have been taught and so many more believe.   Quite the contrary!  They are every part of the energies we call Love as our very being is! 

You are not being asked, told or required to succumb to these particular energies.  You are being asked to release them in an appropriate and more proper manner.

The more you love and show gratitude ... the stronger and higher your vibrations become.   These energies of anger, jealously, hatred, ignorance and bigotry (along with many other like vibrational energies) cannot withstand the intense vibrations of Love and Gratitude.  They will literally fall away.

But!  Try and push them aside or suppress them ... they will cling to you even more.

These energies we have labeled as negative are our greatest teachers!  They are merely asking (and in some instances ... demanding) recognition!  Recognition that you have learned whatever lessons they have brought you.  In addition to acknowledging its presence, these energies require our unconditional love, acceptance and gratitude before departing.   The next step is to simply ask it ... "do you want to leave?"  And then granting it your unconditional permission to do so!

Yes my loves -- this is how you work with all that you deem "negative."    By Recognizing it for what it truly is!  Following with Acknowledging it!   Accepting it!  Loving it, Being grateful for it and then giving it permission to leave.

This is what I mean when I say .... Embrace All that You Are!  Because YOU are all that there is!

And we are!  We are ALL energies! 

When you deny one aspect of your Self in favor of another -- you deny your Self the Wholeness of your very Being!~ Antari


We have all experienced anger, envy, jealously, hatred and bigotry on some level -- in some way.   This is only a tiny fragment of who we are!  But it is still a part of what we are!

We have all experienced anxiety, worry and fright on some level -- in some way.  This is only a tiny fragment of who we are!  But it is still a part of what we are! 

You cannot suppress any of it without consequences!  It will keep returning to you until you have Recognized the lessons it brings; Acknowledged its importance to you; Accept it for what it is; Bless it by expressing unconditional Love and Gratitude; then giving it permission to Leave!

By doing so you have acted upon Embracing All That You Are!   And allowing only the higher frequencies of Love to shine through!

So Embrace ALL that you are!  Because YOU ... are ALL that there Is!

    Some Where Over The Rainbow: A Spiritual Analogy

    Many of you are familiar with the movie, "The Wizard of Oz". But how many of you are aware of the fascinating parallels this movie has with respect to how the realm of spirit works with us here on this earth plane? 

    Granted, many believed The Wizard of Oz was a political statement. Not really sure how that particular thought arose…but it was one that was prominent in the earlier days of the movie's showing.



    But sitting that particular notion aside….let's take a look from a spiritual point of view.



    Dorothy represents all of us who are questioning our reason for being. Like Dorothy, we pine for something MORE. Hoping and praying for that moment when something truly magical just happens in order to prove to us once and for all that we have that "special" connection to the Greater power.

    Instead of appreciating and taking note of all we have around us, we only see how dull, dreary and boring it all is … spending our time looking towards "what If". Seeing life only in black & white.

    Auntie Em.  She represents our soul mates, our kindred spirits,  those in our lives that mean the most to us.    Those who have seen us through times (both good and bad).    They are the people that are of our heart. 

    Toto represents the Animal Totem/Guardians that we all have.

    The Twister represents the "winds of change" that many times comes through and rips up our very foundation, carrying us towards challenges we need to face and overcome in our lives.
    Challenges that we chose to ignore or put on the back burner so to speak.
     
     The death of the Wicked Witch of the East (the gal Dorothy's house landed on) represents the old ways that die and some times are literally squashed out! Changes that are subsequently abrupt by time and circumstances 

    Munchkin Land.   The tunnel/bridge leading into the Other Side.

    The Munchkins.  The wee people of Munchin City themselves, represent those on the Other side who we know only in passing.  They all are there to lend support, love, and a bit of guidance when and where needed.

    The Yellow Brick road represents the path to Higher awareness. This is the path we all follow irregardless of our individual goals.

     Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.  She represents the position Angels have in our lives. Serving to protect and heal where and when needed.

     The Scarecrow, The Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.    They are representations of our  Guides along the way. Each representing their particular area of expertise, teaching the young girl what she needs at that given moment.

    Now I want you to take note that the three Guides here with Dorothy travelled along the Yellow Brick Road with Dorothy…side by side.   Learning and growing with her.   And too, they protected her and taught her lessons.   This shows that our guides Not only  serve as companions, but protectors and teachers as well.

    The Wicked Witch of the West. Well this is a given! She represents the challenges we face, and she too serves as a teacher and guide as well!

    Interesting isn't it? That even Dark Entities have an important role in our lives. How so?

    Well, the Wicked Witch of the West provided the "motivation" Dorothy and her companions needed to stay on path and reach their destination.  And in the end…showed Dorothy and her friends, they had the strength, the courage, and the brains to face, meet and overcome anything she put in their path. She showed them they had what it took to make it.

    The Emerald City.  The hub of the Other Side. Here anything and everything is possible!  Limited only by your own imagination! It is here we refresh ourselves after our journey and take time to get prepared for the next step ahead of us.

     The Wizard.  Much like the Wicked Witch of the West represents the people who we come across and who challenge us and motivate us in pursuing great deeds…deeds we never believed before was possible! The only difference is, The Wizard was a "seemingly" dark entity. Which is a lesson to all of us that not everyone is as they sometimes appear to be. And it is up to us, as individuals, to see past the facades and see the REAL person thru the eyes of understanding and compassion!

    The Wizard signifies those people who assist us in seeing that we are everything we dreamed and hoped we could be. And we always were.

    The Ruby Slippers.  These represent the power we all have.   All we have to do is use it!

    Dorothy's return.   This  represents our TRUE Awakening.  It is that very moment when we finally realize, and most importantly, accept that we had all we wished for all along. That knowing of truth that everything and anything we want, need or hope for is no further than our own Back yard!



    Embrace ALL That You Are!

    Because you are ALL that there is!

    I DARE YOU!


    Yes!  I dare ... YOU!  To Embrace All That You Are!

    But what does that mean?  Exactly?

    It means ... you take a good look at yourself and declare to The Universe ...

     I am ALL THAT and then some!

    Now, lets take a few steps further.  

    Take all your guilt!  All your judgments!  All of whatever it is you are feeling or ever felt!  Everything and Anything ... no matter how it is, has been, or will be labeled ... hold it -- see it -- take responsibility for it!

    Then ... take a deep breath (in through the nose and out through the mouth) and declare to The Universe ... 

    I Am ALL these things!  ALL these feelings!  ALL of Everything! 

    I Acknowledge it!  

    I Accept it! 

    I Take Responsibility for it!

     I LOVE IT!  ALL OF IT!

    I Embrace it ALL!  

    For You!  Yes, YOU my Beloveds .... are in fact all these things and more!

    To live in denial of only one of these things is to live denying ALL that you are!

     I Dare You to Try It!


     *~**~*~**~*



    Whomever has not broken the bonds of judgment holds themselves hostage.   Those who place conditions on Love, are conditioned to not allow or even know love.  

    When you can look at yourself -- and embrace your own Divine spark ... you have received enlightenment.   But when you can look at your perceived enemy and see the light of the Divine, and know it in your heart to be so ... then you have achieved Enlightenment.

    ~Excerpts from The ZEN of Duct Tape: An Empress Is Born~
      
     
    Embrace All That You Are!
    Because ... you are ALL that there is!

    Why Choose A Coach?

    What do top athletes and you have in common? 

    More than you realize!

    Like you, athletes have a talent they wish to share with the world -- a dream they desperately want to fulfill.   Like you, they face numerous challenges in order to fulfill  those dreams.  And like you, they fair better when they have the unconditional loving and compassionate support from people in their lives.   

    What sets top athletes apart from all others?  Their Coach!  Now that Coach may be just one person or several.  But it is always that person who keeps them on task.  Who lends a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on and a foot up the ass when needed. 

    Ask yourself these questions.  Where would any top athlete  be without their coach staying on top of them?  Lending support?  Dragging them out of their comfort zone?  

    Now ask yourself this question.  Should living life be any different than a top athlete? 

    The answer is No!

    The simple fact of life is this.  Individuals are better able to make big decisions when they have unconditional loving support of friends, family, peers, or a coach. 

    Why get a coach of any kind? Be they life coach or Empowerment coach or what have you?

    Well, only you can answer that question!  But I can tell you that  having a Coach can bring you closer to living the life you were meant to live!  Freely!  Authentically! Passionately!

    Now don’t get me wrong!  Family and friends are wonderful support systems!  I’d be totally lost without mine!  But, let’s be honest here.  There are times when you don’t want them to know about your fears, doubts and hang ups.   

    While you may trust them -- there may be something you are wanting to do or something you are afraid of.  Something you are anxious of sharing because you are terrified of  being looked down upon.  Maybe you’re afraid of being seen as stupid or less than or being seen as weak. 

    Many of us are a little ashamed of being in an imbalanced state.  We secretly beat ourselves up for not being perfect!  Not living up to the expectations of others.  Not reaching those unreachable standards we have set up for ourselves!  And we just don’t want our family and friends to know all that!

    Be they real or imagined, those fears can actually prevent you from reaching your goals.  These fears create walls that close in on you until you can’t even remember who you are any more.

    Empowerment Coaching  can help you through these fears. 

    If you are still asking yourself … Why get a coach of any kind?   Well,  chances are … you already know why, but are still unsure about taking that next step.   That’s okay!  You’re not alone!  I know first hand how scary it is!   

    But aren't you a little sick and tired of not being happy?  Aren't you tired of NOT Living and being All you know you are? 

    My Empowerment Coaching sessions is all about assisting you to be happier -- Living and Being all You Are!  And how is this done?  First by identifying what those blocks are; and then by shifting  your focus away from, and guiding you through,  the roadblocks that stand  between you and your goals.   

    And I do this by utilizing a wide variety of tools, such as (but not limited to) EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), Quantum Energy Healing and Chakra Clearings.   

    And as an added bonus to our  one on one chats (telephone or online chats)-- you will receive daily emails from me filled with all sorts of great stuff.   

    Each day you will receive one or two emails from me that include inspirational messages, Reminders and Checklists of your daily goals; and links to experts in the fields of EFT, Self-Emergence, Quantum Energy Healing and Chakra Clearings.  As well as few other little wonderful items that will help you stay motivated, inspired and connected!

    *~**~*~**~*

    As an Empowerment Coach --I am your partner -- your support system --with only one goal in mind:  improving the your quality of life so you may live as your Authentic Self.

     
    Embrace ALL that you are!  
    Because YOU are ALL that there is!

    Getting the Most From Your Psychic Reading: Part III

    Okay kids!  Picking up where I left off last year -- this is Part Three of my on-going series of  Getting the Most From Your Psychic Reading


    In my previous blogs, I gave information on all the questions you should NEVER ask a psychic.    (Check my blogs from December 2011).   In this installment, are samplings of some questions that will help you in getting the most from your psychic reading!  There will be a few more installments in the coming months -- so stay tuned!  And Check Back Often!

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


    Sample Questions to Help You Get The Most From Your Psychic Reading:

    1.  What does the Universe /My Higher Self want me to know about the most?

    This question is one groovy way to open up to what  the Universe/Your Higher Self has been trying to tell you and show you.    With all the distractions taking place these days -- it isn’t any wonder that many of us miss out on the subtle messages that have been given.    But even so, we feel that nudge at the back of our necks -- a distant nagging that keeps prompting us to do a certain thing, or know something, but we can’t seem to get it.  It’s during those times a psychic reader can help.


    2.  What can I do to move forward in my life?

    The Universe just loves action!  Loves! Loves! Loves it!  And  it  really digs those who dare to go where they’ve not yet gone before!.    The Universe especially loves all those who do more than yammer on and about their dreams and actually gets up and does something about them.   The Universe stands ready to help move you along!  But before you can do that -- you have to become consciously aware of what is standing in your way.

    Chances are, you already know that you have some of those pesky little stumbling blocks.  Oftentimes, the biggest one is Your SELF!  YOU!   But have no fears my dears!  None of these have  be permanent.   Just by asking this particular question,  you have opened yourself up to the  guidance you require in that given moment.  Guidance that will lead you to becoming  unstuck. 

    Now this is very important kids.  So pay closer attention to  the next few paragraphs.  In fact, you may want to print this, get out your highlighters to emphasize the importance of the information.

    The guidance you receive from the Universe  will be very, very simple.  Reason being is this … Contrary to popular belief -- The Universe is the personification of simplification. 

     There will be no opening up the heavens!  No Angelic choir singing Hallelujah!  No deep James Earl Jones voice coming from the skies telling you exactly everything you ever wanted to know.     Sorry kids!  But that isn’t how the Universe works! 
     
    Now!  Seeing how we all reside in a very simplistic Universe it is logical to conclude that in that very  moment we step out of that simplicity -- we get all confuzzled!   We start to panic and get all bent out of shape.

    No matter how much you think and/or believe how complicated you are and/or your life is … it ain’t!    All your problems, obstacles,  challenges -- whatever you want to call all that crap you got yourself into -- almost always has a simple answer.  And there is a huge chance you already know the answer(s).  In your panic -- you just forgot!  That’s where a psychic reading comes in handy.  Psychic readings can  help you  recall  what you already know!


    3.  What is my purpose in life?  
    Whenever you are living your life’s purpose -- your life feels and appears to be so fantastical!!  Everything just flows better.  It’s like a dream that you never want to wake from!  It’s that damn good!

    Chances are you’re sitting there thinking -- Well that’s all good and fine  for all those who know what their purpose is.  But I don’t know what mine is!

    Oh!  But I think you do darlin’!

    Your life holds many purposes over the course of your human experience.   But it always starts out as “the one" and grows and develops into other avenues.

    Now that one purpose is something that you can’t seem to escape.  No matter how hard you've tried.  Its a dream that you can’t seem to get away from.  It’s in your thoughts almost all the time.  Morning, Noon and Night it’s there!   It’s something you have always wanted to do -- but felt there was never enough time or money to pursue it.   Sometimes it’s something you are too afraid to do for fear of being ridicule or looked down upon.   And it may be something that doesn’t make money -- in the beginning.      Even so, that purpose lingers around you.  Nagging at you to the point you can’t ignore it no more!  You now find yourself needing and wanting to do it! You just gotta!!! Or wind up in some crazy house!

    A Psychic Reading can help you discover your purpose(s) and assist you in realizing them.  But only if you ask! 
    4.  How can I be more intuitive--more psychic?
    This has to be one of my all time favorite questions!    I love this question because it means that you’re not some ignorant dink walking around like some mindless zombie!  It means you get it!  You finally get  that everyone is intuitive!

    Now!  I want you to keep in mind that  it’s really your work -- your path!  But -- a reputable psychic reader like myself can get you started,  help you discover how  your intuition comes through for you,  as well as  assist you to  honor and trust what you get.   

    VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:  I and my fellow Psychic readers and mediums  never,  never -- EVER want to foster a dependence on us.    In all honesty -- We prefer to teach you how to get the information yourself and stand on your own two feet.  That way you won't have to rely on any of us for the rest of your life.

    And don't worry kids!  We'll always be there to help you along the way.   It's part of the gig!  :-)    But Speaking for myself -- and a few others -- nothing brings a psychic reader and medium greater joy than being able to  stand back and see  you do it for yourself!

    One Small Victory: The Light Switch HAS Been Flipped On!

    My day was brightened when I sat down with my hot steaming cup of coffee and turned on the radio this morning.    Discussion about Bill S1867.   On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed off on this bill. 

    In case you have been living under a rock somewhere on a distant planet in a galaxy far, far away -- this is the Bill that gives the military authority to detain any person they suspect as a terrorist! 



    See my previous blog on this subject  ... Click HERE




    Mike Gallagher, during his show, made some valid points.  Many of which I agree with.    In particularly treating all known terrorists as enemy combantants.   Having them tried by military law -- not regular civilian laws.      Of course, there will be those who disagree.    And that's fine!  But it is something I agree with.  And I will not waiver my stance on it.



    The laws that define what a terrorist is must be changed if any of us are to feel a measure of safety within the borders of the U.S.A.!    The way the bill reads  does not exclude Americans (born or naturalized).  NDAA does apply to Americans!   Read the exposed myths at  www.naturalnews.com

    I am not comfortable giving that much authority to anyone in particular-- but it really unnerves me when I know  the military has been granted a broad sweep like this.  Historically speaking, both past and present, tells us it is not a good idea -- for any reason!  

    Don't get me wrong -- I am all for the military doing their job to protect us as a whole!  I understand it is the duty and obligation of Congress to keep the American people safe.    I get that!  I support that!  However!  Washington needs to redefine what is considered a true terrorist!  Post Haste!

    After hearing this bill talked about by the folks in the media I feel the light switch has been flipped on! I was getting a little concern there for minute!   But it doesn't stop there folks!  We all must come together and contact our representatives and demand the wording be changed ASAP!
