Shifting Into Empathy
August 2024
August will be entering a highly active energy cycle that will help us individually as well as collectively to transform all density into light or move beyond it. Through shifting out of that which no longer serves us, we find a healthier way of being through empathy. As humans, we have nothing to regret. We are here on this planet to learn from our mistakes, not only individually but also as part of the collective. I am guided that empathy is one of the most important skills to develop and practice. It allows us to understand the world as others see it, and is a key component of compassion, which is incompatible with fear, judgment, and blame.
What we have to be conscious of is not judging others actions or our own mistakes and allowing them to be opportunities to grow in love, compassion, and understanding. The past is calling to be cleared and released to create healing in the present state of the collective consciousness.
August’s energy will guide us to stay out of the heaviness of the collective unconsciousness of chaos and fear. While being mindful of the energy we send into our lives or to the world, we can create either a positive or a negative influence. As lightworkers, we are here to hold the frequency of Divine right intention though compassion. It is so important to get clear on what we are going to focus on and how we’ll choose to experience what is happening around us.
Staying in alignment with a higher vibration and staying out of the collective unconsciousness will support each of us in holding a frequency of peace and standing in our Divine truth. Everyone, including those who are on the other side of the veil, plays a part in the evolution of humankind. We are not alone. When living in Divine trust and faith, all can feel the light of Divine progression.
Humanity is being propelled into a period of discovery and breakthroughs that will forever alter the course of all life. As humans we must surrender our fears of the unknown and come together in the moment with the intention of love. This conscious shift will inspire all humans to be more tolerant of each other and create a more loving world. clb
Numerology: 8/8/8
Significance: The 8/8 portal, often referred to as the Lion’s Gate, is one of the most powerful numerology portals of the year. It symbolizes infinite possibilities, abundance, and spiritual empowerment. clb
Simplify Your Life
The first week of August is National Simplify Your Life week, so why don’t we embrace it for the month by choosing one area of our lives that we want to simplify.
Ask yourself these questions:
How would a simpler life look?
How would a simpler life feel?
What can you let go of that will make life less complicated?
clb
Inner Truth
Remember it is your inner truth of you that will ultimately set you free. Do not give your power away, but do trust in a greater guiding wisdom at work in all aspects of your life. Ask for help from enlightened spiritual beings in any matter of concern and it shall be granted. Believe all problems can be resolved and a more graceful life experience is opening up for you now. – Alana Fairchild
Health Tips: Staying Centered In The Energy Of Today
When we are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious it can mean we are off center, this state is not uncommon in our busy lives. So, what do I mean by centering? Centering is the act of attention, focus, and concentration in the present moment. When centered, we are able to be more aware of our thoughts and feelings, and then we can make better decisions allowing us to be in the moment and not be distracted. When centered we have the choice of how we want to be in relation to our environment, regardless of what is happening around us.
Let’s explore what it means to feel centered into today’s world. All centering practices focus on our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. These four bodies represent different aspects of our being, and they all work together to create our overall experience of life. There isn’t one specific approach when it comes to centering. There are many different ways to achieve a centered state. Some people prefer to meditate, while others find that journaling or spending time in nature helps them to center themselves. Experimenting and finding what centering technique works best for you is essential. There are many benefits to centering yourself. Here are some of the most notable ones:
- Asking yourself several times a day “How am I?” will increase your self-awareness in the moment.
- Set an intention for the day – this way you can create a conscious commitment to being centered in the moment.
- Physically – Increased exercise or walking: these grounding techniques will help achieve calm within the body.
- Emotionally- Reduced stress and anxiety: When in the moment, we can focus on the present and let go of worries about the future or past.
- Mentally – Improved decision making: When we are focused and clear-headed, we can make better decisions.
- Spiritually – Greater clarity and insight: When connected to our Divine wisdom, we have greater clarity and insight into our thoughts and feelings.
By practicing these techniques, each of us can block out distractions and focus on the task at hand. This can lead to improved concentration and productivity. These benefits show just how important it is to find ways to center ourselves in today’s hectic world. clb
Kim’s Conscious Musings
Divinely Equal
In a recent meditation through Kuan Yin, I was inspired to remember that all beings are Divinely equal.
We are all Divinely Empowered Souls living amongst other Divinely Empowered Souls.
In our day to day lives, it is easy to fall into the habit of living under the human experience of fear. But when we remember that we are all loving Souls of Mother/Father God’s Light and beautiful regardless of how we choose to express ourselves in the world, we are reminded of who we truly are. So, no matter what is perceived, there truly is no competition or comparison as all Souls are Divinely equal and unconditionally loved. kds
The Healing Energy of Celebrating Life
July 2024
As I reflected on these past months of helping my mom transition to the other side, I realize that all that truly matters are the moments of gratitude for our lives and the people in them. It impressed upon me to embrace the beautiful moments around me … watching movies with my hubby Paul and snuggling with my Bella kitty… sharing laughter with my friends and clients…. the colorful sunsets…my wind chimes that have played continuous music in this spring’s consistent breezes…listening to my favorite music. What I have decided to do, is to celebrate living a purpose filled life, and commit to seeing the beauty and wonder in everything around me.
Going through this process has shown me how important celebrating life is and how much we can heal by focusing on gratitude for each moment. How we show up and choose to respond in the moments of our day-to-day lives are related to how much joy we create through appreciation. Joy is a way to anchor the awareness of love and light into the intentional moments where we embody gratitude for everything and everyone in our lives. I’ve decided every step forward no matter how small is going to be a milestone worth celebrating. clb
Summertime Celebration
“People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating, we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state – it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle…. Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one’s actions.” -Abraham Joshua Heschel
Sunlight/Fire Energy of Purification
Mother Earth and Father Sun’s fire constantly provides for all of us with their incredible abundance. The sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive. Mother Earth uses the energy of the sun to nurture and facilitate the energy of rebirth which inspires growth of all living things. Sunlight in the summer months brings powerful opportunities for spiritual growth and healing. Taking time to celebrate is a way for us to acknowledge the life force energy of the sun. Celebration is also a way of showing gratitude for the energy and blessings that we are always receiving. clb
Enjoy Life’s Special Moments
Celebrations can create a sense of shared identity and common purpose. They can highlight values you care about such as playfulness, kindness, and happiness. Take the time this summer to create fun and celebrate life’s special moments. clb
Health Tips: Spiritual Healing For The Body, Mind, and Spirit
Spiritual healing encompasses our total well-being – our challenges and our hopes in all aspects of life. Through awareness, we can apply healing intention by exploring the deepest part of ourselves and asking Spirit “What shifts do I need to make for my highest good?” The power of spiritual healing lies in the ability to address the root cause of our dis-ease and acknowledging the underlying spiritual imbalances that are causing these symptoms. Spiritual exploration helps us connect with our inner self, our Soul and our spiritual intelligence which can bring about a sense of clarity, understanding, and healing. This understanding can bring about a sense of comfort, hope and trust in the healing process. clb
Healing With Archangel Raphael Meditation
Imagine Archangel Raphael’s green healing energy enveloping you. Your body becomes warm and light filled as the green healing energy passes over your head and through the rest of your body, relaxing every muscle. You become lighter and healthier feeling refreshed and renewed. Take a moment to rest and appreciate the well-being flowing through your body. When you’re ready, slowly return to yourself and open your eyes giving thanks to Archangel Raphael. clb
Kim’s Conscious Musings
Spiritual Strength
Sometimes life presents opportunities for us to be strong and hold true to ourselves while things shift and change around us. We are powerful beings of light capable of overcoming anything that comes our way, and it is important to remember this in our everyday lives. Being grounded in our true strength allows us to be at peace with ourselves while we shine our light in our own unique way. Strength is not stubbornness or resistance; it is holding true to the truth in our hearts and allowing us to be authentic in each moment. kds
Tapping Into Your Spiritual Intelligence
June 2024
Spiritual intelligence is a higher dimension of consciousness beyond the ego, that has access to the mature qualities and advanced capabilities of the true self, in the form of wisdom, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace. Through Spiritual intelligence you can uncover a deeper sense of meaning and purpose that improves a wide range of important life skills and work skills. As the intelligence of the true self beyond the ego, spiritual intelligence has many benefits that exceed the scope of intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence. Freedom from ego, as experienced with spiritual intelligence, grants wisdom and clarity of vision, combined with more empathy and compassion, which increases creativity and intuition, and results in greater personal fulfilment and better performance on important life skills and work skills. Spiritual intelligence therefore represents the most powerful resource for personal and professional growth and fulfilment. By tapping into the higher dimensions of consciousness, then and only then, can you become authentically connected to your Divine path of creation. clb
Summer Solstice – June 21st
The Summer solstice represents the transition of being nourished by the light of the sun, where we travel from darkness to light. Summer reminds us that there is renewal, and that light always shines through the darkness, illuminating all that is good. As the light illuminates our opportunities for growth, big shifts can cause old energies to surface and be recognized so that we can clear them. Just like the Sun, we rise each day, and have the opportunity to honor our light within as we energetically awaken into our Divine consciousness and trust in our creation. clb
The Creative Process
In the creative process, you switch from the analytical left-brain and tap into the creative, intuitive potential of the right-brain.
That’s why it’s impossible to make mistakes when you create from your intuition because you don’t judge it, you just do it authentically. clb
Health Tips: Opening the ileocecal valve and why it is important in your overall health
When this valve is out of balance, it wreaks havoc on how your body regulates the stress response. Called the ileocecal valve, it is situated between the small and large intestine on the right side of your body, and it is governed by the kidney meridian. It opens and shuts processing waste material through a natural rhythm. If this rhythm is out of balance, it can create negative stress responses throughout the body. The valve rhythm helps the body release toxins that can back up your system which can create fatigue, digestive ailments, lower back pain, etc., and even skin conditions such as eczema. But once the ileocecal valve is functioning properly, these conditions can be reset and/or cleared. It is fairly easy to reset, and should be reset regularly, once a week.
Here’s a self-massage technique for resetting the ileocecal valve by Dr. Jockers:
Kim’s Conscious Musings
Responding Consciously
In all manner of interactions with others, be it an experience, event, conversation, comment, opinion, or question, we often react quickly with our response. These types of quick reaction responses are often filled with the knowledge, wisdom and experience we’ve accumulated over the years, or are simply our opinion on the matter. While there is nothing wrong with sharing from our personal point of view and experience, more often than not, our ego is involved, as it likes to be heard, have an opinion, be right, be influencing, and have the answers. It wants to solve the problem and be the hero.
However, when we take the time to respond more consciously from a Soul level, we take the time to consider, intuit, and tap into the highest good in a loving and thoughtful way. In this way, we take the ego out of our response and utilize our knowledge and wisdom from a space of love, inspiring our interactions to serve the highest good of all involved.

Guidance For Life
May 2024
Within the deepest aspects, that we call body, mind, and Spirit, resides our Soul’s Essence. This essence connects us to the Source of all life. This Source of magnanimous love can always be trusted to encourage each of us to create what is in alignment for the highest good. When we are vigilant about expanding our consciousness, we are more attuned to the Souls guidance. Discernment guides and directs us from our Soul’s perspective into our thoughts, transformations, and/or actions. When we are guided by our Divine power, we embrace the Spiritual attributes of love, wisdom, peace, bliss, and grace. That means, in every moment of our lives, we must be relentlessly conscious in everything we do. Spiritual consciousness has nothing to do with judgements of good or bad, it is simply being conscious and aware of what is being created. Noticing. That is all. Being aware and conscious is the path to freedom. clb
Amazing Things Happen
Amazing things happen when inspiring others freely and lovingly. When I inspire others to embrace themselves freely and lovingly, I experience more peace, and fulfillment and am reminded that I am on task, walking my path of service. clb
Allowing Your Inner Life To Take Root
Your inner life is where your ideal values and sense of Self are created, take root, and inspire your Spiritual growth. Your inner life (guided by your Divine Wisdom) is where you have the most creative, loving power over your physical experience. Your inner life truly belongs to you. There you can create a special place to rest, gather strength, contemplate, and create and reflect on the story of your true Self. clb
Intuitively Trusting Your Path
Leading a life that you weren’t meant to lead is something that can create a lot of stress and anxiety. Being on the right path, on the other hand, is something that generates inner peace. That doesn’t mean that finding the right path will completely eliminate all stress and anxiety from your life; after all, the perfect path in life does not mean a path without challenges, and even the path that is meant for you is bound to have its obstacles.
Your subconscious mind has a way of knowing when you are doing what is best, and the Universe has a way of rewarding the right decisions with a sense of peacefulness that is priceless in its value. When you find the right path for your life, the sense of inner peace that comes with fulfilling your destiny will be unmistakable. clb
The Gift of Your Imagination
Each of you has the gift of imagination. Imagination can serve as a Spiritual function, allowing you to be guided by your Divine Spirit. Through your Divine intention and wisdom, you can connect to the source of creative power and tap into your artistic nature. clb

Kim’s Conscious Musings
Ask The Angels
Last week, my husband got a call from our youngest daughter. She was out with her friends and her keys had fallen off her keychain. After all her friends helped her look, she still couldn’t find them. We were on our way to pick her up, and I told the angels and Archangel Sandalphon I needed help finding her keys (because that is the only set she has). After about 3-4 minutes of looking, I was heading back to my car, and something told me to look to my left, and there were her keys, sitting under a light in the parking lot. I was so grateful and sent so much gratitude to the angels.
A simple ask of the angels made my life (and all of our lives) so much easier and my experience so much more enjoyable.
There is nothing we can’t ask for. Spirit and the angels are always ready to support us.
When we ask for Divine assistance, we can count on the angels, and Spirit. It’s okay to reach out and ask for help. We don’t have to do it all on our own, and we are never alone. No matter what you’re going through, there are kindred spirits, angels, and Spirit, waiting to connect and support you. kds
Feminine Energy of Spring Emerging
April 2024
April always brings with it the hopeful, awakened energy of rebirth. During this season, there’s a sense of renewal in the air that can carry us through this new month of re-awakening. Known as the “renewing spark of life,” Spring is wonderfully energizing, and we will all certainly feel it this month as the sun reemerges from the winter season.
April is a month of rebirth as the earth re-awakens from its winter slumber. It is a time when Mother Nature comes alive with budding flowers, painting the world in vibrant colors, breathing new life into nature. The beauty and splendor of this season, reminds us of the Divine Feminine influence that rejuvenates all aspects of life on Earth.
The Divine Feminine energy is not a concept confined to women alone, each one of us carries within, the spark of the sacred feminine energy which is a vital catalyst for spiritual awakening. This ancient energy is the driving force behind all creation and growth, as she aligns with the rebirthing energy of Mother Earth.
By consciously connecting with her ever-flowing energy, we will unlock a profound source of wisdom, love and resilience that can guide and support us through our ever-changing experiences.
When we recognize and embrace the power of Mother Earth’s cycles of rebirth and rejuvenation, we open ourselves to a world of compassion, creativity, and enlightenment. clb
Higher Frequency of Life
Within every human being, there is a Universal Principal, a new state of consciousness, leading to a higher frequency of life, free from all anxiety, worry and fear. Therefore, the higher our frequency is, the happier and more productive we are.
We know that everything has a frequency, Mother Earth, plants, living beings, sound, light, and even thoughts and feelings. As humans, our frequency guides our state of being, how we feel, and act will affect everything good or bad. So, for those of us who long to truly live in a conscious state of freedom, we must consciously raise our vibrational frequency to a higher mindset of loving unconditionally through compassion. Compassion resonates at the highest frequency and affects the energy of coherence (the quality of forming a unified whole). This unified whole is characterized by a sense of connection, empathy, and a deep understanding of ourselves, others, and the world around us.
What is the vibrational frequency of love and light and how can we raise ours?
It is a measure of the level of our consciousness, where the vibration of compassion becomes a Spiritual state of awareness. To do this in human form, our bodies vibrational frequency depends upon our feelings, thoughts, emotions and actions. So, to successfully raise our frequency we must identify our personal frequency by self-awareness and observation. It’s about tuning in to how you feel, react, and interact with the world. For example, feelings of joy, peace, and love usually indicate a higher frequency, while anger, fear, or sadness often reflect a lower frequency. Each emotion has its place and purpose, and understanding this concept can help us consciously elevate our vibrational state. When we tune into our emotions and recognize our energy, it can inspire us to make more mindful choices that align with higher frequencies.
Understanding and elevating our vibrational frequency involves intentionally changing our everyday habits and thought patterns, as we make conscious choices that enhance our well-being. As our beingness becomes lighter, we are able to ascend towards higher states of Love and Compassion. These higher frequencies are associated with a deep sense of inner peace, balance, and an enlightened understanding of life and the universe. This transformation is a powerful tool in our journey to raise our vibration and experience a richer, more fulfilling life. clb
The Language of Respect and Integrity
When it comes to being aligned with respect and integrity, how can we help but speak the language of love and healing to one another?
Deepak Chopra tells us that “Everyone is acting from his own level of consciousness.” Not everyone shares the same views. When we understand that those views are shaped by the ideals and messages with which a person grew up, we can accept these differences and come to a level of understanding of opinion.
When we communicate with those who share different points of view, we honor their opinion, and do not try to push our opinion onto them.
When you are kind and respectful to others, you embody and inspire the frequency of integrity. clb
Prayer of Protection
May all that is light and goodness guide every decision I make today. Allow me to see things as they really are. Keep me safe and away from dysfunctional and unhealthy situations that try to take away my peace. Give me the skills needed to identify these situations and draw only grace and respect into my life. So it is done. clb
Health Tips: The Healing Energies of Essential Oils
Essential oils have been around for decades, but have especially increased in popularity in the last 10 years. Essential oils are great for a variety of reasons, but adding the use of essentials oils to your daily practice is a great way to enhance your health. When used properly and safely, essential oils can be great for improving focus, mindfulness and mood.
The use of essential oils is a century-old practice that has proven effective in aiding issues such as sleeplessness, nausea, anxiety, and various body pains. Each essential oil has its own healing properties and is used for a different function. Here are my top 3 essential oils and their benefits.
Frankincense: This oil has extensive health benefits for the mind, body, and soul. With its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, frankincense can soothe sore muscles and joints and can also treat rashes and burns. Additionally, frankincense has antiseptic and disinfectant properties. Frankincense can also promote oral health and regenerates skin cells. You can also use this oil in a warm bath to reduce stress and feel calmer.
Lavender: Lavender is among the most popular and is known for its calming and relaxing properties which makes it ideal if you are suffering from anxiety or sleep disorders.
Peppermint: Peppermint is best for digestive problems and helps to ease irritable bowel syndrome symptoms as well as relieving nausea and upset stomach. Peppermint oil also eliminates fatigue and if you apply a little to your shoulders and the back of your neck, it will give you an energy boost throughout the day.
The best way to use essential oils…
Essential oils can be used in various ways like inhaling, added in a diffuser, or topically by directly applying it to your skin, but in that case you need to add a carrier oil to avoid irritation.
Carrier oils you can include are:
Argan Oil
Coconut oil
Sweet almond oil (my favorite)
Jojoba oil
clb
Rebirthing
Inner transformation can happen at any moment on our spiritually awakened journey. Rebirth is the reward we receive for turning inward, and facing our small self with intention. When we begin to listen to our Soul’s intuitive voice, and let go of our ego identity, we find our way to Self-Realization or Enlightenment. clb
Kim’s Conscious Musings
Discernment empowers us to make choices that are aligned with our spiritual intentions. It cuts through all illusion with pure intent and allows us to stay true to our values without getting caught up in outside dramas or distractions. Discernment allows us to intuit what is real and what is not, and guides us toward love instead of fear.
Discernment is not judgement. Learning not to judge anything or anyone as good or bad is the vibration of wisdom and allows us to be accepting of all of life as it is.
Discernment connects us to our intuition and instincts so that we can make choices that resonate, feel expansive, and uplifting. When using discernment for our highest good, we can see through all illusion to the truth, which allows us to steer clear of as much pain as possible creating a more joyful, peaceful and helpful experience.
Through our discernment, we have the ability to distinguish between higher and lower vibrations which expand our love, joy, and peace. When we use discernment and trust our intuition, we can make choices that align with, resonate with, and take care of our Souls. kds
Rebirth With Spring
March 2024
When we think of Spring, we think of the opportunity of creating new cycles of rebirth. Spring is the time of year where all of nature awakens and once again gives freely and generously of its beauty and grace. It is up to each of us to embrace the new life of Spring and be open to the opportunity to manifest an empowered season of renewal, growth and new beginnings. It is a time when the world awakens from its winter slumber and nature comes alive with color, sound and energy. In the Light of Spring, we will feel more motivated making it the perfect time to plant new seeds of creation and try new things, while stepping outside our comfort zone. Whether it’s trying a new fitness class, taking up a new hobby, letting go of the old, trying new things can help you grow and develop as an individual. Sometimes it may feel challenging and a little scary to step out of our comfort zone, but facing unfamiliar challenges can help us feel happier and more fulfilled in the long run. We can end up discovering a lot about ourselves and our abilities when we make an effort to take risks and try new things. This spring, allow the rejuvenating energy to cultivate joy. clb
Taking Responsibility For Our Experiences
We, no matter what’s going on have the power to resolve any issue through spiritual inspiration and prayer for out highest good. The healing response to taking responsibility for our creation inspires us to release victim mentality, no matter the circumstances. To arise spiritually through self-responsibility will help us tap into and manifest our own priceless empowered consciousness. From that consciousness, we can respond to any unwanted situation in such a way that Divine power is increased. When we have the courage and commitment to awaken to the precious spiritual beings that we are, we create a spiritual path and manifest and shine with radiant, spiritual light. clb
Light Within Us
We each have light within us. Trust in that light and in your own courage. The light is strong enough to guide gentle support and empower you to fulfill your sacred purpose of healing and soulful manifestation. You were born to be the light. The Universe rallies to encourage, inspire and embolden you to manifest your sacred destiny. Take your journey with complete trust and enjoy the Divine beauty of your path, knowing the light is always with you revealing the way. – Alanna Fairchild
The Voice of Love, Respect and Kindness
In my dream, I heard a voice say “it is time to wake up, it is time to wake up!” I was instantly surrounded in light and I felt immense calm come over me.
God never gives us more than we can handle; we are resilient and strong.
Divine Spirit is here in each one of us, nurturing our inner being-ness, connecting each one of us, female and male, through the eternal qualities of feminine power. I was taught long ago that stillness and trust is the feminine energy of Gods grace. Stillness prepares us to receive Divine right direction. The understanding that all is well in the moment can take life’s experiences above the egos should(s) and anchor us in truth. Regardless of who is our perceived leader, we must be our own compass for centeredness. I believe that peace is in the mind of my creation. I am guided that our interconnectedness of love is more powerful than fear, or being invested in the outcome. I will never stop believing in the power of Divine right intention. We as humans need to band together, support each other gracefully, and take action to protect the most vulnerable among us. That’s how we rise above the fear and judgement, and create peace. clb
Health Tips: Divine Health
There exists in every person a place that is free from dis-ease. However, most people expect to be sick at one point or another in their lifetime; to expect otherwise would be illogical, we are living in a human body.
The Ayurvedic sages look at life though different eyes, “It is our duty as humans to be healthy because the inner intelligence of the body is the ultimate and supreme genius in nature.”
Through intention, when we tap into this energy aka consciousness, our limitations, no matter what they are, cease to exist. The first secret we should know about creating perfect health is that we must choose to take responsibility to create a healthier body, mind and spirit. Through a shift in perspective and intention, we can decide that ill health is unacceptable.
We all have the innate power to heal and transform our lives, to restore health, and create within us a sense of total wellbeing. Optimum health is the result of self-knowledge, self-exploration and understanding of who we are. This inspires us to discover the negative patterns and beliefs that are keeping us from Divine health. clb
Kim’s Conscious Musings
As we shift out of the winter energies of cold weather and move into the spring energies of rebirth, it is the perfect time to create healthier balance.
As spring brings increased light, it inspires us to do more in our everyday lives. When we feel balanced, life flows effortlessly. But be aware that it is easy to slip into the habit of go, go, go.
I am inspired that when we nurture our Divine light, we create time and space for ourselves, resulting in feeling centered and peaceful. When we nurture our own light, our light nurtures those around us creating a more harmonious season. kds
Stillness In The Moment
February 2024
February’s energy is about connecting with your Divine Energy (Soul’s aspect) within your waking consciousness. Doing this can be a transformative and enlightening experience. It can guide you toward a deeper understanding of your true nature and spiritual potential. To embark on this journey of self-discovery, you’ll need to do a couple of things.
1. Find a quiet and peaceful space to silence your mind.
2. Tapping into your Divine voice, state your intention and then listen.
This requires more than simple meditation, it requires intention and releasing negative thought forms. Each of us has an inner voice, an indwelling counselor and teacher who will guide us on our spiritual journey into higher consciousness.
The present moment is the only space where there are no time constraints. It is the point between past and future. It is always there, and it is the only point we can focus on in the moment. Everything that has ever happened and will ever happen can only happen in the present moment. It is impossible for anything to exist outside of it.
Divine Energy embraces all that IS. By embracing this Spiritual connection with an open heart, you allow it to illuminate you on your spiritual evolutionary path. Divine Energy is the sacred yet infinite force that connects you to everything in the universe and transcends the physical world.
I believe, the concept of Divine Source represents the purest essence within each of us as individuals that aligns us to Divine consciousness. Aligning with the Over Soul allows access to ancient wisdom – leading to a deeper understanding of Soul purpose and a sense of oneness with all creation. clb

The Wood Dragon year, combined with the nourishing wood element, brings evolution, improvement, and abundance, making it the perfect time for rejuvenated beginnings and setting the foundation for long-term success.

February’s Energy
This month’s energy will make us eager to embark on the next chapter of our lives. This will be an ideal time to test the waters and work on creating desired outcomes, as we do our best to avoid unconscious interactions and choose to show up consciously. How? By tapping into our Divine guidance, we will be able to create authentically. Be aware of repetitive problems that may crop up. Thankfully, our creative minds will be at the forefront making it easier for each of us to find quick solutions.
Tapping into our creative mind allows us to do new and exciting things and engage ourselves in a way that takes us one step closer to reaching our full Divine potential. Creative people tend to have a lot of energy, both physical, mental, and spiritual. By embracing the creative mind, we will have more energy, and will enjoy what we are creating.
When we embrace our own version of creativity, and reflect on the topics that hold our interest, we use our imagination, curiosity and reflections to create a life that works for us. clb
Health Tips: Creating More Physial Health Through Conscious Intention
Wellness is more than a feeling, it is the action we take. Simply put, wellness is an ongoing, intentional way to live our best life whether it is in the physical body or the emotional body. Every day, we have the ability to choose to live as healthily as possible. There are times when we need to seek medical attention but, what I am talking about here is the everyday negative self-talk that gets in the way of our optimal health.
Self-talk is the endless stream of thoughts that run through our heads. These thoughts can be either positive or negative. Optimism and positive thinking will always improve our physical well-being and help us better manage everyday stress. Choosing enjoyable activities, will help each of us achieve a better mood, a healthier body, and a quieter mind.
Living healthy is about making positive changes through intention. Building healthy habits, such as exercising, practicing good nutrition and nurturing supportive relationships will have a positive impact on health and well-being.
To improve self-talk, listen to the words or tone being using. Are the words or thoughts positive or negative? When we focus on what’s going wrong, nothing will ever feel right. Your body will respond either way, so speak lovingly to inspire your body to be healthy. clb

Kim’s Conscious Musings
When we connect with the Divine (within us and around us), we are aligned with infinite potential and possibility. The Divine is the source of unlimited opportunity more vast than anything we can imagine as humans, and we have the ability to surrender and flow with that energy.
So why isn’t this our constant creation?
Simply put: we are having a human experience. When we identify with our small ego self, instead of our Divine self, we become more limited with doubt, fear and illusion – often living outside of the present moment. The small self is not our natural state. It can become a ‘normal’ reactive experience because we are here to learn or unlearn for the sake of our highest good.
As spiritually awake and aware Divine Beings (Souls), we have the ability and awareness to live from our Divine consciousness and tap into the unlimited potential that awaits us within and around us. We just have to make the conscious effort to do so. kds
2024 The Year of Personal Empowerment
January 2024
I am guided the energy for 2024 forecasts a year to stay focused on the understanding that ‘everything is energy and energy is all there is, and it is free.’ As Lightworkers the more we understand this insight and work from within, the deeper our understanding that everything is energetically connected and influences how we view or live our lives.
As we work within, external events will still be there but will become less important to participate in. As we learn to observe and not react, these events will hold tremendous value in how we choose to live. The moment we realize every extreme experience is actually a tutorial with unlimited growth possibilities, we suddenly choose to learn and work with the knowledge available to us, instead of judging the event itself or pretending it did not happen.
Unfortunately, as human beings we are programmed through our upbringing and societal conditioning into a victim-victimizer reality. We tend to fall into a victim role when a negative situation happens to us, or when someone appoints us as their victimizer. When we understand that we have an effect on all that we attract to us, we can respond in love or fear. This new year will be a time to manage our energy patterns and become more focused on how we create our reality from an empowered consciousness.
My definition of empowerment is as follows: the process of becoming stronger and more confident, making life work for us, as we choose to separate what does or does not serve our creation. Self-empowerment starts with self-reflection and self-love. And with that is the ability to own our Divine power, speak our truth and live up to our full potential in 2024. Empowerment in the new year is a must. clb
Celestial Point of View
The year 2024 will show us more of a dual perception of 3D or 5D. Different fields of experience on our planet are happening simultaneously. 3D consciousness is viewing things from a purely physical state. You are seen as an individual that is separate from others. Life feels like “the survival of the fittest” and you are identified by the way you look, the job you have, the car you drive and the people you surround yourself with. You feel fearful about missing out or not having enough. Once you reach a 5D state of consciousness, it is very difficult to go back to a 3D state. From this level of consciousness, you begin to understand that you are responsible for your creation. Life becomes an adventure of Divine personal growth and there is no such thing as good or bad. There is a higher purpose for all things and every experience holds meaning. There are stronger feelings of self-respect, self-love, and connectedness with others and all that surrounds us. Embrace this 5D awareness and celebrate creating from a place of love and light. clb
Comparison vs. Empowerment
Each of us can decide whether to compare ourselves to others but when we are empowered, we focus on how perfect we are in our individuality. We do this by getting to know our Soul deeply and learning to see ourselves internally instead of externally. clb
Health Tips – Prioritize Your Mental Health
Recognize the importance of mental wellbeing. Incorporate stress management techniques such as meditation, mindfulness or activities that bring you simplicity and relaxation. Self-care is so important as we go through our daily activities. clb
Kim’s Conscious Musings
The astrology coming into the new year states that Pluto will enter Aquarius at the end of January (thank goodness!), will briefly return to Capricorn, but by the end of 2024 will shift back into Aquarius for the next fifteen years. Traditionally, Aquarius is associated with affecting humanity and realigning civilizations as the masses become more enlightened, aware and responsible for how their actions affect humanity. It is also a time for technology, freedom for all of humanity, and non-conformity. The Aquarius energy is leading us into the age of enlightenment, so Pluto will uncover hidden societal constructs, awakening us and showing us how everything is put together. During this time, we have the opportunity to rediscover hidden wisdom that will forever change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. This age of enlightenment is here whether we are ready or not. Together we can hold the space that we experience this realignment with ease and grace. kds
Sharing Your Divine Light At Christmas
December 2023
With the holidays upon us we find that we are filled with Christmas (Christ-Spirit). This season’s energy is within the heart of all seekers, and we are all reminded to focus on the higher energies of our Divine journey of love, compassion, humility, appreciation, aspiration and joy. Thus, reminding us to see the light in everyone we encounter and sharing our light with those around us.
I believe the crystal-clear energy of Spirit this time of year especially brings us closer together as a spiritual family. Giving us a moment to be able to express our thoughts, our feelings, and our gratitude as we nurture the rebirth and growth of our spiritual path together. Let us be conscientious of the responsibility we have to encourage the light to grow within ourselves and others, not just at Christmas, but every day of the year. My Christmas wish for all of you is that you are blessed with knowing that you are a gift to all those around you. May you find joy in everyone, and in everything you do. May you be wrapped in love always. May gratitude be your mantra. And, most of all, today and every day, I wish you Peace. clb
Celebrate the Festive Season with Joy!
Sometimes rediscovering the true roots of the holiday season can help remind us why we are celebrating. The holidays are all about celebrating the values that bring us together in life, such as our faith, friends and family. These important connections can bring us together in unity, generosity, and gratitude as well as appreciation for each other. clb
Being inspired by the true Spirit of Christmas reminds us to give from the heart in the ways the feel right for each of us.
A Time To Give Thanks
No matter what holidays you choose to celebrate, the season is a time to give thanks, reflect on the past year, and spend time with loved ones. I am thankful for all of you who have graced my life over the years. Blessings c
Making Space for You This Season
November 2023
In this last year we’ve learned about the power of choosing to be in the moment, making conscious decisions and committing ourselves to doing what needs to be done for our highest good. Congratulate yourself on the ability to open doors that lead to endless opportunities.
There has been a push from Spirit for you to settle down and take care of yourself, which can be hard to create space for. It requires a certain degree of self-awareness to develop a new empowered healthy foundation. Pay closer attention to your health as the holidays approach. The most difficult part of taking care of yourself is starting, but make it a priority to make it a practice until it becomes second nature. Expanding your awareness to make healthy choices gives you the opportunity to release limiting beliefs and make creative new choices.
As we wrap up this year, spiritually recognize and remember your responsibility in your personal growth. One of the things that you must embrace is that Spiritual Growth is not something that you can leave to chance. It does not happen overnight by itself. Nobody sleeps and wakes up to become spiritually matured. Spiritual Growth requires intention. clb
Divine Wisdom
Divine Wisdom is an inner knowing, automatic and instinctual. Divine Wisdom is a gift, a powerful driving force in your life that is there to empower you as well as guide you. We are multi-dimensional beings, and the foundational source is our universal life. Life-force energy is reflected through every level of our being. This source is known by many names including, but not limited to, Universal Love, Universal Light, Mother/Father God, The Goddess, or as I say, Spirit. When we tap into and discover the gift of Spirit, we discover a depth of consciousness that we did not know existed in our lives before. clb
This Thanksgiving Choose a Grateful Mindset
In my mind, gratitude has always been the theme of Thanksgiving. Celebrating together in joy and kindness with each other brings out the best in each of us. Thanksgiving inspires a bountiful spirit and reminds each of us how important building connections with others is.
Being mindful in various ways that you practice gratitude and kindness is undoubtedly contagious, bringing joy to those around you.
This Thanksgiving, let us celebrate a spirit of kinship as we come together and live in the moment of a warm heart. From this space, we can understand that everything rests in the expansive space of a Divine loving heart inspiring gratitude. When we celebrate together in the power of love and gratitude, we have a Divine connection to each other through Love and Light.
Happy Thanksgiving. As I take the time to give thanks and gratitude for the many blessings in my life, I want you to know how blessed I am that you are one of them. clb
“A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life, and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make.” – Dennis Waitley, motivational speaker and author
What is Self-Love?
The core of self-love is an unconditional acceptance of yourself. Embracing your positive qualities, such as compassion, kindness and having a forgiving heart. As well as, recognizing your negative qualities such as anger, jealousy, comparison, and other aspects of your nature that you would like to heal or change. Accepting one’s qualities both good and bad helps you bring your mind, body, and spirit into center and grace.
Happy Fall!
October 2023
I am excited to welcome October, as autumn comes into full swing and Halloween is almost here. Just as fall is one of my favorite seasons, October is definitely my favorite month. I love October. I enjoy over-decorating the house for Halloween, playing dress-up as an adult, and buying way too much candy without judgment. I am thrilled that National Pumpkin Spice Day starts Oct. 1st, Yummy.
I also love autumn because everything becomes dressed in fall colors. Everyone begins to hunker down for winter, as cold nights with begin to nip at your nose and toes, and days get shorter. Everything begins to slow down.
I welcome the site of pumpkins once again, whether they’re decorating sidewalks or getting roasted and made into soup, delicious pies or even our favorite fall coffee drinks. I enjoy not so scary movies like Hocus Pocus, Haunted Mansion, Halloween Town etc. Fall is a time when the dropping temperature inspires snuggling under a throw blanket with my hubby, friends and family, and watching G rated movies (lol) with a big bowl of popcorn and of course anything chocolate. clb
Change is in the air for October
As we’ve entered the space just after the equinox (September 22), we may find ourselves wavering between action and stillness. This energy encourages you to seize both your joy and courage as you set forth onto a smooth transition towards the beginning of new experiences and the emergence of new energy. When we intend to move with purpose, onward and forward in faith, we are lead in the right direction of our highest good. clb
The Full Hunter’s Moon in October 2023
In 2023, October’s Full Moon is called the Hunter’s Moon and occurs on October 28th; its peak will be at 4:24 p.m. EST. As the Hunters Moon of 2023 graces our skies, the spiritual bond between the human soul and the October Full Moon connects. It’s a celestial feast full of meaning, a ethereal dance of ritual, and that represents the very core of astrology and spirituality in perfect balance. Throughout the hallowed pages of history, the Hunters Moon has symbolized a time of harvest, abundance, connecting with the afterlife, spiritual transformation, and insight. You will feel the magical energy in the air right now as we head toward the Celtic Festival of Samhain (pronounced Sow-an), and the veil becomes thinner. This increases your ability to communicate with your ancestors or loved ones. It’s an opportunity for spiritual growth, goal setting, gratitude, and finding ways to slow down and enjoy the autumn season. clb
What is Resilience?
September 2023
Resilience is the ability to bounce back from the obstacles we experience for our personal growth. This is without a doubt an essential part of the human experience. In this newsletter, I want to explore what resilience means from a Spiritual perspective.
I feel the two key components of resilience are adversity and positive transformation. Resilience is often referred to as the ability to ‘bounce back’ in challenging situations. When looking from a spiritual perspective, it’s an opportunity for personal growth. Whether we as humans know it or not, we have the ability to survive the most challenging ordeals and grow in ways we did not know were possible.
Rather than avoiding or fighting against stressful situations, we can learn how to reframe the life circumstances we face, choosing to progress and move forward. As life unfolds around us, the ability to adapt and become comfortable to unusual or challenging situations is essential.
Here are some positive transformational tools:
Stepping out of victim mentality and into personal empowerment (as we are not powerless), as we look at our situation from a more spiritual perspective, will allow us to broaden our thinking. This allows us to come up with alternative strategies for solving problems more creatively for our highest good. In short, moving from fear to empowerment.
The opposite of victimhood is adapting to each situation while standing in our Divine power. We have to take ownership of our circumstances whether we’re in control of them or not, as we still have the ability to choose how we respond to our experience, love or fear. In standing in our Divine power, we can learn how to embrace a mindset that inspires us to thrive.
By choosing to be more active in creating our desired outcome, we help manage and reduce the impact of stress and increase confidence that all will work out for the highest good.
By recognizing our individual strengths, we increase our sense of overcoming adversity and feel more optimistic regarding the future. Looking toward the future with optimism can help us recognize that setbacks are always temporary, inspiring us to feel more hopeful and positive about what lies ahead. Living life, truly in the moment, will influence our happiness, health, stress level, and general well-being. clb
The Energy in September
September’s energy is about gravitating toward independence. Even though you may crave the comfort of dependence, the energy encourages you to focus on personal growth.
September is the month to ask yourself:
What is it you need to change to live more authentically?
How can you make life work for you more efficiently?
What do you have to be aware of that will empower you to grow on your spiritual path?
Synchronicity
By having faith in the Unicersal order of events, even in the midst of uncertainty or when you can’t logically comprehend how things will work out, you redirect the Universe to improve your current situations. How? By living in alignment with the Divine through positive thoughts emotions, and prayers, automatically attracting miraculous synchronicities into your life.
Synchronicities can show up in many ways, though the most common are numbers, songs, animals and people. Be aware of what’s showing up in your life and trying to get your attention.
Health Tips – Boosting Your Wellness This Fall
There is no doubt that autumn is a wonderful time of the year. The leaves are changing color, the air is getting cooler, and pumpkin spice is back on the menu! But autumn can also be a trying time for our health as we can be more susceptible to colds and the flu.
Here are some important steps to stay healthy.
Take your vitamins: a multivitamin, B12, and D3 are good for everyone, but if you have questions, check with your doctor.
Eat what is in season – fall offers a unique variety of healthy foods that only come around once a year. Choosing to eat fruits and vegetables will decrease your chances of getting sick.
Take time for self-care and put yourself first. Lack of sleep and stress decrease the immune system making it easier to catch whatever is circulating.
Light and Darkness - They Coexist
August 2023
Where there is light there is darkness. Light attracts darkness and this fact is something we cannot deny.
The spiritual journey is extremely personal and is not for the light of heart. All of us will experience both light and dark on this journey, but it is up to each of us to shine our light to clear the darkness. To do this, we must connect to our true Divine Soul essence which guides us to start making choices from our high heart. The Divine Soul and high heart are rich with understanding, love, and wisdom, and will guide us against believing that we are entitled and/or victims. Instead, it empowers us to take responsibility so that we can rise above illusion. The Divine Self knows which course is best for us and will guide us in clearing away what is not for our highest good. It is the Self that wants us to return to self-love and self-realization and to experience peace and overcome challenges gracefully. When we choose to embark on this journey of self-actualization, each day will guide us to see beyond self-imposed illusions, and yes, there will be days where we feel completely thrown off our spiritual path and that is a perfectly human experience.
Seeing darkness where we expect to see light, will remind us that one of the requirements we have in order to grow, is to stay connected to our source of light—the crystal-clear energy of Divine intention. This Divine energy is the source of our true power, the Light and Life of our world.
Without a strong connection to our Soul, we begin to spiritually cycle out of alignment, feeling like we are losing control. But when we realign with light, we expose the darkness of the ego based human psyche, clearing away the chaos and illusion, and returning to peace.
Making conscious choices for our highest good is not about being judgmental, it is about discerning how we create our reality, be it love or fear. Committing to healthy choices sometimes means we can no longer choose through pain but must choose through love, no matter the outcome. We can choose to walk with conscious steps and place our focus above that which feels heavy and challenging while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. Therefore, allowing ourselves to feel sustained by the loving choices we are making. The light in us will always guide us in letting go of what or who no longer serves our highest good, and sometimes that does not feel very loving.
“You cannot ask the darkness to leave; you must turn on the light.”
“In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.”
“Don’t fight darkness – bring the light, and darkness will disappear.”
-Desmond Tutu
I am inspired by those who share their struggles and transmute them in the name of love and healing, those who face the darkness to grow. clb
The Energy in August
This August places priority on your ability to cultivate how you want to be perceived by the world around you. As you develop a deeper understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, treat yourself with compassion and give yourself grace. This month’s energy will be about personal growth, embracing your true identity, and stepping out from behind the curtain of illusion to embrace your right to be who you choose to be. I AM that I AM.
Shine On
Leo’s energy may make it feel difficult to maintain healthy relationships when those closest to us choose not to grow and are mirroring their disfunction onto us. How do we not take it personally? In truth, we have no control how other people see and receive us, if someone else is judging you, it’s likely because they are judging themselves. Embrace your light and allow yourself to see through the eyes of discernment and not judgement. No matter what is going on around you, never dull your light so others can shine. We each have our own unique energy design and light that we must embrace, that inspires ourselves and others.

Conscious in the Moment
July 2023
Do you ever get in the car, and unknowingly your “auto pilot” takes over and you think to yourself – “I don’t remember driving here?”
In today’s world, our lives are spread way too thin. When our minds are scattered and going in several directions at once, we go on autopilot, and are no longer conscious of what we are doing, creating exhaustion. When this happens, everything we do becomes a chore, and we begin moving through our days instead of living/enjoying them. Sometimes days, weeks, or even entire seasons go by, and we don’t even notice that it’s happening. And the hardest part about getting so used to feeling this way is that we know something needs to change, but it’s a struggle to figure out what, let alone how. So, we question ourselves saying, “what’s wrong with me?” “Why aren’t I enjoying my life?” “Is this all there is?”
So, How do we stop spiraling out of control?
We should step back into the moment to be aware of what we are doing. When we stop and pay attention to what we are doing, we slow down, returning to the present moment. Back in the present moment we pay attention to what we are doing and where we are going.
Here are a couple of signs that indicate it’s time to recenter, and come out of autopilot: lack of presence, scattered thoughts, feelings of being disconnected, feeling numb, and feeling as if we are no longer able to do “one more thing.”
The importance of deciding to take the time to re-center ourselves, acknowledges where we have spread ourselves too thin. We need to gauge where we are trying to multitask too much as this creates a lack of focus. I believe that refocusing on centering/balancing ourselves is a way of coming to terms that we are just one person in an ever-demanding world. Refocused, we can create a life that we love, and enjoy being peaceful in the moment.
We innately know that being in the moment is much safer and when we are in the moment everything just is. In every moment we have two basic options, we can choose to escalate or deescalate every uncomfortable situation, by consciously living in the present moment and making conscious choices.
When we are in the present moment, we have a conscious perception of how we are feeling good or bad. When we have a clear perspective on our emotional state, we can ask for Divine guidance, tap into our Divine Wisdom, or even just take a deep breath. This is not always easy. Not only does it take practice to connect to each moment with Divine intention, but it is imperative to listen with our heart instead of our emotions. If we practice this awareness, we can co-create with a healthier state of being.
Through our actions we create an ebb and flow of energy. This energy begins and ends at the center of who we are and creates our world. If we stay in the present moment and follow its ebb and flow, we are in harmony with what is feeding our Soul, not depleting our Soul.
We all go through different seasons and stages. I believe that life cannot be balanced all the time and will have stressful days, sad days, boring days, and frustrating days, all making the good ones that much sweeter. But if you are feeling that those not-so-fun days are sticking around a bit too long, it could be a sign that you need to try something new. clb
Spiritual Independence
Our Divine Birthright: The freedom to live in harmony in our spiritual truth from the heart of our Divine presence. It is freedom from depending on any outside source for our personal happiness, which creates a profound and unchanging peace within.
Centering Yourself
Centering yourself means that you are working from a consciousness of, “I have to make life work for me and not work for life.” At first it may feel selfish, but as you consciously choose to make decisions in each moment for your highest good, life becomes less hectic, and you can breathe easier.
Health Tips – Mindfulness
How do you live mindfully?
Living mindfully is meeting each moment of life as it presents itself, with full awareness.
It is important to start paying attention to what your body is trying to tell you so that you don’t create dis-ease. Without realizing it, you can disconnect from what is happening right now in front of you. When that happens your mind gets lost in stressful thoughts that manifest as pain, which can create fatigue and anxiety. This creates a state of fight or flight, which takes a toll on your physical body. When you go into fight or flight, the heart races, the muscles become tense, and you shut down.
To reverse the fight or flight response:
Slow down and get into the moment
Sit down and breathe
Refocus on the reality of what is going on
Spiritual Self-Care
June 2023
Within each of us lies the capacity to reach our full spiritual potential, to evolve or self-actualize, and tap into the essence of Divine wisdom, balance, peace, and love. When we are living from our Soul’s Divine consciousness, rather than from our outer reality of illusion, we honor and validate the spiritual core of who we are. I often refer to this as “loving the skin we’re in” – our Divine temple.
Spiritual self-care is an essential layer of health and wellbeing – in addition to the physical, emotional, and mental – for our balanced self-care routine. Just as it is important to communicate our needs, or nourish our body with nutritious food, taking care of our spiritual self is crucial to living a grounded and healthy life.
Our bodies are the truest and most accurate barometers of our emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. Our bodies mirror our thoughts, emotions, and experiences. The answers always lie within. The first step toward wholeness is to listen to the body’s internal wisdom and to trust that mental and physical illness are ways the body and soul convey their deepest needs, desires, and concerns.
What do I mean by spiritual self-care?
The definition of spiritual self-care is any procedure or practice that you do to align with your Divine perfection. Your Soul in perfected health……. is who you truly are as an individual, the real you. Your highest potential is experienced when you are disassociated from, and not influenced by the ego or fear. Rather, this Self operates from a Soul-centered place that is aligned with your truest form of identity. Self-care is critical for sustaining the PRESENT you.
Ask yourself the following questions:
What do I need to heal in my life?
What do I want to create right now?
What specific issues do I want to address?
What breakthroughs am I ready to achieve?

Inspiration of May
May 2023
Are You Ready To Create Healthy New Friendships?
This month’s energy gives you the opportunity to expand your friendships in healthy new ways.
By connecting with love hearted spiritual friends, family, and colleges, you can focus on being in alignment and in harmony with all your relationships. By staying present and maintaining gratitude for all relationships past and present, you get the opportunity to learn more about yourself through mirrored experiences.
A great deal of research has shown that gratitude helps us to initiate, maintain, and strengthen our relationships. Along with gratitude, respect makes all our relationships closer, more satisfying, and encourages us to feel more invested.
When you surround yourself with healthier relationships, your self-esteem grows and you create a constant feedback loop of harmony, excitement, and inspiration. The vibration of kindred souls can also influence your likelihood of manifesting a more balanced life.
I am guided that we are here to inspire and support each other in healthy relationships. We each have our own path and it takes courage to only be responsible for ourselves. Through divine free will each of us has been given the divine right to choose our own experiences. When we care about someone, we must give him or her the respect to be who they are. 💜 Blessings c
Affirmations for Friendships
- I only attract positive relationships.
- I am a magnet for loving relationships
- The right friendships will appear in my life in Divine time.
- I trust that I will attract healthy people into my world.
- I love myself first, and so I attract others that love themselves.
Moments Of Inspiration
April 2023
Practice You: What are my Divine Intentions for today?April will bring to you a multitude of moments that will inspire you to trust your intuition (aka, Divine inner voice) as you become more authentically you. This month’s energy will ask you to embrace your true purpose as you better understand what you bring into the world. Pay close attention to your intuition and what you’re being guided to create. As I have always said, knowledge is power and connecting to Divine truth for the highest good will allow you to speak your truth for your benefit, as well as others.
Your authentic voice has no hidden agenda or underlying selfish motives, all it wants is what’s best for you. The more you give it power, trusting it, and listening to it, the more it will positively influence your creative life. Remember, your inner voice speaks the truth and is always guiding you. The truth is clear, profound, and healing, and it resonates in a way that other ideas do not. Your inner voice exists for no other reason than to serve your highest good. It wants to help you achieve your dreams, to “create contentment” for yourself, and all that surrounds you.
Your inner voice is your guiding light when it comes to living in a truly authentic way. If you can learn to trust your inner voice unconditionally, you will not be disappointed or lead astray. If you allow it to, your inner voice will lead you to meaningful experiences that inspire you to “create a blissful life.” clb
Intentional Work
Intentional work is a way to understand more about yourself and your inner guidance. When you develop your intuition you can make better decisions, find meaning and contentment, and create a richer life for yourself and everyone around you.
In addition to being aware of your life, being intentional is how you are able to choose what your life looks like. Being intentional about your life is: Choosing to consciously live on purpose, Recognizing that you are your own best expert,
Believing that you have a choice about what your life looks like.
When you believe in your ability to shape a life of balance, you unlock your ability to be intentional and create your life in a more beautiful, true, and fulfilling way. Choosing consciously in each moment is part of doing the work; this is how to build a life of love. Being intentional means believing you have a say about who you are becoming, what your life looks like, and that you have the best insight for your wellbeing and purpose. clb
Health Tips
Barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure, is the force or weight of the air around us. It is important to know that as the barometric pressure changes it can affect you physically and emotionally. As the barometric pressure drops and the weather becomes worse, it becomes heavier and can create headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizziness, ringing in the ears and a bit of moodiness. As the barometric pressure increases and the weather gets better, the physical body feels lighter as the density falls away, and other physical symptoms are relieved. If you want to learn how to adjust your body during changes in barometric pressure, talk to me about it in your next session. clb
Path To Finding Self
March 2023
Your spiritual journey is an essential path of empowering self and taking full responsibility as a conscious creator. You can, in each moment, choose to create new healthier conditions by re-aligning your energies through positive intentions. How? This can be done through self-knowledge, self- exploration, and an understanding of who you are as an individual.
As we enter the energy of Aries, there is plenty to see and experience as you become more authentic. This month’s energy will give you a fresh new perspective when you think through a fresh mindset. You will benefit from developing a new level of courage even if you have to “fake it until you make it.”
Look at those around you and appreciate what makes them unique. When you allow yourself to be inspired, you can identify your own unique qualities and bring them to fruition. Remember: the Universe has your back, ask and you will receive, and everything will happen in Divine timing for your highest good. Be patient as you continue on your path of empowering self. clb
Creating Change

Are you the type of person who pays attention and notices what you truly need or works for you? This month is about being mindful and paying attention to the appropriate time to speak up and express your truth, as you choose to be the trendsetter or leader in your life. Being a leader can be a bit overwhelming, so be fair to yourself when working to inspire change.
It’s important to know that you have an abundance of wisdom, but you have to be open to stepping outside of your comfort zone to create your best life. Believe that the impossible is possible and have the courage to live a life from love, not fear.
Imagine that you wake up every day filled with confidence that you have an important purpose for the day. Remember, everything is perspective. How you perceive life is what you will experience and create. So, if the concept of “ask and you shall receive” truly exists, then be mindful of setting intentions to create consciously for your day. Again, believe that the impossible is possible and have the courage to live life for your highest good. clb
Authentic Self Expression
January 2023
These past few years have been challenging you to trust and be yourself more than ever. Your expression of self-worth goes beyond who society says you should be. You get to decide who you are and what you believe. You do not have to live up to anyone’s expectations or be limited by fear of the unknown.
By channeling your Divine consciousness, you will be inspired to embrace each moment of life as it unfolds naturally. There will always be someone who is going to tell you ‘The sky is falling,’ but does it really ever fall? I’m not saying that life does not have its challenges, but I am guided to teach that we create our own reality. What you think and imagine within your conscious and subconscious mind will manifest quickly, so be mindful of what you are believing, thinking, and saying.
As you step into this new year, set your intentions to focus on gratitude for who you are and where you are on your path. It starts with changing your perspective and staying in a loving mindset. Loving yourself authentically and showing hope, kindness, and compassion will create a richness of self-value. clb
Staying Centered During The Holidays
December 2022
Are you experiencing long term stress and exhaustion? Let’s get centered and peaceful before the holidays get here.
Any kind of exhaustion, physical, emotional or mental, can make it feel like we have no power or control over what happens in life. Daily stress and anxiety are normal, but overtime, long term stress can take a toll on our body. Fatigue leads to overthinking which the ego loves because then it is in control and our conscious mind takes a back seat….and that is when exhaustion and overwhelm sets in.
Physical exhaustion is when our body experiences extreme persistent tiredness. It should not be taken lightly and is a type of fatigue that completely drains our energy. When we are physically exhausted, we can be low on motivation and focus. This makes our tasks more tedious and difficult.
Emotional exhaustion develops in response to what we’re feeling. We may develop it when we process sadness, frustration, anxiety, and overwhelm. We may face emotional exhaustion when dealing with families or life changing situations. Emotional fatigue can shorten your attention span and concentration, which can make you feel anxious or irritable.
Mental exhaustion on the other hand stems from too much mental strain, like if you have a long day at work and spend too much time on complex tasks. This leads to our cognitive abilities being compromised, and you become so tired that even the simplest of decisions seem daunting.
Though exhaustion can feel overwhelming, it is not a state we have to tolerate. We can shift into mindfulness which will bring us back to the present moment and reduce stress. If you have a hard time coming back into the moment, call on the Angels and Ascended Masters.
To reduce stress, here is a mantra you can say:
I choose peace and all is well.
Then if you still have a hard time, here are a few other ways to recenter in the moment:
Creating and staying with a morning routine – this starts the day off with success (for me, it is Coffee! Coffee! Coffee!).
Eliminate obligation – instead of working from a place of obligation, shoulds and coulds, work from a place of putting yourself and your needs first instead of everyone else’s.
Acts of service – in a way that feels right for you.
Practicing mindful meditation – 30 minutes a day will calm your nervous system and recenter you.
Starting a gratitude practice – reminds you how wonderful life really is.
Exercising – 30 minutes a day will re-ground you and produce more endorphins (our natural feel-good chemicals)
Breathing – do not forget to breathe, and have fun! clb
Restoring The Sacred Within
November 2022
Just like that…we are already preparing to welcome in 2023. The roaring ‘20s has been a continued time of unprecedented change. The end of this year marks the final stages of several years of deep work on trust and has challenged our personal power. We did a wonderful job of staying out of the chaos and as the veil of fear continues to lift we intend that love will prevail.
It is time to consciously clean up our energy from the past two years. As lightworkers, we are up to the task of restoring what is sacred within us and all of humanity. All the journeys that we have taken into the unknown have revealed our truest Divine heart, even as many unsettling things (from unconsciousness) have been exposed and brought to the light.
Now, is the time to seize the opportunity to integrate and blend these new discoveries into the abundant sense of who we are and what we are here to achieve. It is important that we continue to embrace an abundance mentality as we choose to stay positive. Staying in an optimistic mindset will lead us to greater creativity, gratitude, appreciation and trust.
Through the knowledge of our divine heart, we have the ability to tap into our higher consciousness and hold the space of goodness for all of humanity. clb
Falls Embrace
October 2022
From the magnificent colored leaves falling from the trees to the sweet smell of pumpkin spice, there’s a bit of magic when it comes to the fall season. Let’s take the time to “stop and smell the roses” (in this case pumpkin spice), as it is important for both our emotional and physical health. Fall is the perfect time to focus on making positive changes and from an energetic standpoint this makes complete sense. As the seasons change, the energy of our surroundings change, and thus we also change.
The wisdom of your own body can ground you, take your enormous capacity for honesty and intensity, depth and passion, and turn it into soil you can fully root into. What in your life is not fully in alignment with who you really want to be? Fall is here to show us how beautiful it can be to shed what no longer serves, to allow for new things to be created.
October’s energy will ask you to explore the values of how you live your life, to become more authentically you. It will ask you to revisit the narratives that have guided you and given you a sense of self, to recognize what holds you back so that you can work to set yourself free. Your personal values are the key to living a successful and happy life on your own terms. When you take the time to align with your core values, and structure your life around your highest good on a regular basis, you will innately start to feel fortunate about your life choices, because you’re doing what you need to do to fill yourself up. clb
Grace-Filled Healing
September 2022
“Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.” – Buddha
This month is about returning to your divine blueprint and removing any negative emotions that keep you from healing. Understanding your role is vital to this healing process.
I know that some of you may feel like you have been working on the same issues for years. And you have for lifetimes. Now is the time to energetically recognize and clear all negative core beliefs that have followed you. This will allow you to understand your physical, emotional, and mental bodies on a deeper level.
As you grow older, you have the opportunity to reflect on the natural aging process, and embrace it. It is time to dig deep and heal all wounds created from this lifetime as well as lifetimes past. It is time to acknowledge why you are still dealing with the same patterns repeatedly. You know your rhythms and health better than anyone else. Be mindful and present in the moment. It is important to be attuned to your body and listen to what it needs.
You must choose to work with your health and wellbeing gracefully. It is always your choice. When you consciously intend to be in a state of health and take the opportunity to look within, healing will occur in Divine timing.
Spiritual health is an interwoven connection to our physical, emotional, and mental health, as well as our social environment. Maintaining good spiritual health involves going within your mind and body, and living authentically and in alignment with your true self. Healing work requires great patience, persistence and application to be achieved, there is no instant fix. clb
Patience is the key to healing. When we connect with the divine wisdom in our hearts, life becomes simply beautiful, and we nourish ourselves on a higher level. clb
August Embrace
August 2022
August 2022 is the perfect time to call in new manifestations and desires.
The first part of August may feel a bit off, but keep in mind that ultimately, this is leading us to a more authentic and awakened state. This is the perfect time to root out what is no longer serving us, inspiring us to turn our biggest obstacles into personal growth.
As most of you know this month begins under the Sun in Leo. The warmest time of the year in which we are being guided to have fun and shine our light on the world. The light of summer will guide us to embrace our confidence, sacredness, and our personal ambitions as we shape our life authentically.
This energy will awaken our heart center to heal, purify and nurture on every level, leaving us connected to the love and compassion of The Divine source. All we need to do, is listen and allow our natural state of Divine oneness to re-emerge through this powerful spiritual experience that is August. clb
Celebrate The Ordinary
July 2022
Summertime is a time to celebrate the ordinary, a reason to look on the bright side of things. This magical season is symbolic of growth, celebration and enjoying the sunshine, at least when looking at it from a spiritual perspective. Even though it has been a long road for personal and planetary growth, as the planet continues to work through this growth, you as a Lightworker will continue to feel lighter, freer and more alive as summer unfolds.
The energy unfolding in the next few months will be the perfect time to check in on your work-life balance and choose to take care of you. You can’t burn a candle from both ends, so revamp your schedule in a way that allows you to stay on top of your responsibilities, but also leaves plenty of room for fun, celebration, and self-care.
The Sun’s journey through Cancer is also encouraging you to follow your intuition and prioritize what you are passionate about doing. This summer, as you kick back with friends and family, or take a well-deserved vacation to recharge your energy, summer will be a time to celebrate your freedom. Each new day offers us countless opportunity to consciously choose to live joyfully. clb
Inspiration Abounds
June 2022
June’s energy brings with it an abundance of inspirational insight. The message from the Universe is to inspire you to live your life according to your authentic nature. Ultimately, when you are authentic, you open yourself to the worthiness that you deserve to be connected and live joyfully.
Summer starts on June 21st and will be the perfect time to reconnect you with your energetic creative self. Therefore, allowing you to manifest what makes you happy. You are full of marvelous and creative ideas which means this is an excellent time to start inspirational projects.
When life is in balance and in tune your intention is in alignment with your creative flow. This allows you to be fully present and immersed in your creation as you genuinely create new projects that have a meaningful impact on your life. Blessings clb
Grow and Shine
May 2022
May will bring positive changes to all of us. This is an ideal time to spend time focusing on better health and wellbeing. Start walking, exercise, garden, or any other activity that helps us feel more inspired.
It is also the perfect time to let go of what we think we should do, and instead, choose to live life from the heart of compassion, pouring forth spiritual strength that will inspire us. Compassion is in our heart to free us from fear and live a joyful life. Be prepared to grow and shine in the coming months. Blessings c
Spiritual Freedom
April 2022
Spiritual freedom is a consciousness that we are in divine alignment with our Soul’s sentient intelligence. The Soul is the witness taking in our experiences, always observing, and in quiet times if we listen, offering invaluable guidance.
The Soul is our closest aspect to our Divine Creator, which means to be in alignment with our Soul, which will allow us to be more in touch with our still small voice that is our natural inheritance. At our best, each of us is a channel through which divine wisdom flows. We must be sensitive to the inner guidance that provides us with the intuitive knowing we require. That voice is a bridge to knowing Self.
Spiritual freedom allows us to create a space of being that is in complete alignment with the Spirit of God, where nothing is missing, and everything is divine. Even as our everyday lives continue to evolve, we create from our Soul’s space of “trust” where we are motivated by the depth of the divine presence of unconditional love.
True freedom is when you understand and are willing to create what is for your highest good and the highest good of all concerned with harm to no one. By channeling spiritual freedom, we don’t have to hold ourselves back on any level. We can embrace our compassion, our intelligence, our power, our wisdom, and embrace our capacity to love life.
Unifying with our Soul will inspire us by increasing our awareness of the heavenly spiritual forces that permeate not only our lives, but also our universe. When we believe that we are worthy, we create more love, light, and blessings, where all that is needed is eternally available for our creation. Blessing c
Empowered Guidance
March 2022
This months energy is about owning the truth of our unique values. As we enter into March we need to think beyond our ideals and ideas. We naturally have woven into the fiber (bones, muscles, nerves) of our being, a way to live for what we value, and then create it. The energy will continue through this year then slow down, and become less heavy. A simple shift in what we think can make all the difference in what happens next for us as lightworkers. We must tap into and become familiar with our own instincts. If we learn to turn inwards we will discover, if we haven’t already, that each of us possess an empowered guidance system.
We are all blessed with a divine guidance system and the more we learn to listen to it and use it, the more confident, optimistic, and clear we will become. Each time we trust ourselves, we will flow in our own unique abilities to create what is for our highest good.
Deep personal work on self will challenge our energies. As we explore our role in the world, recognize the pitfalls and our need for balance and love.
How do you do this gracefully?
Pay attention to what you are feeling and sensing. The more you explore the deeper realms of consciousness, the easier it will be for you to move forward in your divine grace.
Blessings c
Higher Love and Inspiration
February 2022
February’s 2021 energy is driven by Neptune, the planet of higher love and inspiration. Valentine’s Day is the most powerful day this month. Its energy inspires us to connect and embrace our advanced knowledge of the divine process for creating happiness, while strengthening our gift of vision to enlightenment. Those of us that want to evolve into a more conscious way of life will be rewarded. It is time to let our souls be happy and have fun once again. We have been worried and overwhelmed long enough.
Remember that we were created from light and love and we can’t let the challenges we encountered last year dominate our future actions. Our loving intentions will determine how this month will play out. Our state of mind has influence over our moods, relationships, and our overall well-being. Take positive action to shift back to happiness. Blessings c
The Year of the Tiger
January 2022
The Year of the Tiger, 2022, will be a year of slow healing and regeneration rather than quick changes. January is the month to start looking at the future as a positive clear path. Prioritizing what is truly important and creating a more stable year is the 2022 theme. We are not working for a perfect life, but a calmer more peace-filled one.
The tiger energy brings into the New Year powerful healing, and focused passion. It is a time to be brave and act on your gut instincts and trust your intuition. This energy inspires us to seek freedom and blaze new healthy paths. Regardless of the obstacles in our way, we must pursue our goals and intentions. Tiger energy correlates to the free-thinking nonconformist sign of Aquarius, which challenges us to take our ideas and bring them into reality. Blessings, c
2021 Newsletters
Winter’s Magical Season
December 2021
December 2021 marks the completion of the disruptive and unsettling energies that we have navigated through in the past several months. It is now time to look within ourselves, and recognize the gifts and blessings received during this uncharted chaotic time in our lives.
What unknown energies may be hiding in the realm of winter’s sacred darkness?
Winter is the time for us to go into the darkness, allow our eyes to adjust, and relax into the vast darkness. Under the cover of darkness, regenerative healing takes place. This is when dream medicine heals us as we sleep, releasing the dark shadows that haunt us.
Using this knowledge, to find our lost and forgotten self, each of us must take stock of all we have learned about ourselves this past year. This, combined with self-love, faith, gratitude, and tapping into our divine wisdom, centers our hearts.
Trusting all is well, we see the glow that brings darkness to light, revealing secrets and awakening our senses to a rich and magical world of divine creation. Blessings, clb
Journey to Spiritual Health
November 2021
What does it mean to have spiritual health and wellness? How can you achieve it on a daily basis?
Spiritual health and wellness can be hard to grasp, but through clear focus and intention it is absolutely attainable. Spiritual energy is not limited to time and space. Humanity is always connected to the infinite intelligence that supports all life. The pure consciousness that resides in the soul’s essence (divine blueprint) is an ever-present healing source.
Your divine blueprint spells out who you are physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. It holds the key to your God-given health in all ways.
As humans, always in this pure energy, we have the innate ability to heal, and provide the power to create perfection. The divine thoughts created by this power enter into everyday consciousness and become reality. Spiritual development and personal growth cannot be separated. The path of spiritual wellness can evolve in many ways; from meditation, prayer, positive affirmations, energy therapies, and spiritual mentoring.
Being empowered spiritually, assists in promoting inner peace and a feeling of wholeness. Inner exploration will inspire you to achieve a divine state of awareness. Through self-actualization and by implementing your divine soul-based resources you will realize your own strengths and abilities. When you tap into your divine blueprint navigation system, you will create optimal health and wellbeing. clb
Divine Self-Expression
October 2021
Divine self-expression is giving yourself permission to speak from a place of inner truth. This way of being is an essential aspect of living a life of authenticity. Expressing self genuinely is a healthy choice. Each of you have a unique spiritual beauty to offer the world through your divine wisdom and grace. These unique gifts, shared though your experiences and conscious expression, can never be created or copied by another. This is because you have our own unique divine truth.
Self-expression leads to authentic communication which means sharing the unfiltered essence of yourself with others. This interaction enables both parties to share their point of view hopefully without judgment.
When others do not feel their truth agrees with you, neither view is wrong. Each person believes what makes sense through their guidance and experience and has the right to feel the way they do.
Being true to divine expression is a personal choice. It is your right about who and what you believe. It means you don’t have to make other people happy, agree with them, worry about what they think, or live by their truths.
How does judgement fit into this? Remember that when others judge, or do not agree with your beliefs, it does not define you. You can live as your genuine natural self being, completely honest and sincere, but most of all true to yourself. clb
Aspects of Holistic Wellness – In today’s world social health research has shown that the happiest people on earth have deep connections with their friends, family, and community. This is often why spirituality relates to happiness as it can provide a deep sense of community and support, no matter what faith a person chooses. Here’s one way to support your social health. Make time for in-person connections by spending time with love-hearted individuals.
Relating to the World
September 2021
September is a powerful month according to numerology; it holds the vibrational energy to powerfully create. This is a perfect month to live in the moment as we see and experience life in the outside world.
We can choose to stay centered in our own creation and let go of focusing on the uncertainty that our world will be safe. By detaching from the negative that is based on fear and insecurity, we can hold the space in loving prayers for everything to work out as it should.
How do we do that gracefully? By having an unquestioning belief in the power of the universal loving consciousness of divine right, intelligence (God/Goddess), and ourselves.
One of my favorite quotes by Fearless Soul is: “I am never in control of what happens around me, but I am always in control of what happens within me.“
When we think about the things we can’t control in the outside world, we must remind ourselves of the things we can control like being in tune with ourselves, while staying in gratitude.
Let’s all take a moment to intend that we, as humans, are powerful enough to heal not only ourselves but our world as well. Blessings, c
Relating to Others
Watch out for others that try to make their problems ours and expect us to drop everything to suit their needs. When they are in a fear-based state they want us to accommodate them. If we can’t, sometimes we make excuses and try to explain ourselves instead of saying, “Sorry that does not work for me!”
We must not play into to their drama and take it personally. They can use guilt trips, or ultimatums, and try to turn our good nature against us. When we take on other people’s one-sided requests and demands, it interferes with our intention (schedule) and makes us feel inadequate. We then feel the need to accommodate their requests without question.
When we feel that we are not doing or giving enough to others, and what they feel they need, we punish ourselves by giving into to their demands and drama. It makes more work, causes friction, upsets schedules, and inconveniences us and we become frustrated and resentful.
Balance the Natural Flow
August 2021
This month is about living in deep harmony with ourselves and the divine. By tuning into our hearts with positive intention and balance the natural flow of the body will return to optimal health and wellbeing.
The body is a fine-tuned instrument that contains the five basic elements: Space, air, fire, water, and earth. These elements bring our bodies into balance through immense regenerative healing powers. These basic elements restore the body’s natural rhythm, which carries an enormous source of healing power and love.
When we drop into our bodies, and understand what it is feeling, we can then ask it what it needs in this moment to heal. By tapping into our bodies physical sensations, we can discern whether we are coming from love or fear.
The human body is a manifestation of the sacred all permeating source, a divine reflection of the crystal-clear energy of creation. The heart of God/Goddess pulses within our heart, body, mind, and spirit. When we allow ourselves to move in harmony, we align to what is for our highest good. Blessings c
True Fearlessness is Peace
July 2021
True fearlessness is having trust or faith in yourself—or having a belief in a greater power and knowing in your heart that everything will turn out for the best in the end. My intention is everything turns out for my highest good and the highest good of all concerned.
Fear is a natural response to the world around us and our brains are programmed by using fear to keep us safe. When I am about to give a presentation to a new audience, I start to feel the physical symptoms of butterflies, fast heartbeat, or sweaty palms. That is totally normal. We unfortunately run into trouble when we’re overwhelmed by our perceived fears or the fears of others. Most fears that we worry about and agonize over aren’t really things we need to be afraid of or assume will happen. I know in my reality, perceived negative anxiety never actually happens or comes to fruition.
In today’s world, we are bombarded with fear-based information that heightens our awareness almost daily. If we are reading or listening to upsetting information that is coming from a place of fear or worry; how can that be a positive influence on our physical and emotional self?
Worry is characteristic of uncertainty, and as controlling as fears are they come from something other than love. When we worry about the “what ifs” we give away our power. When we look at ourselves and believe in our inability to control a negative situation we can fall into a powerless trap of fear.
I am guided true fearlessness is sustained by three things; “Faith, trust and peace which, I believe are the only remedies for fear. What we are all seeking is the perfect balance of serenity. We cannot have it both ways; either we come from a place of love or fear. There is no middle ground. The consciousness of one who is aligned in the divine love of spirit, fear has no sustaining quality. When we choose to stay in the moment and choose divine loving thoughts, we can only know peace.
God’s love is always there is in our hearts, and as we share that love though our intention with the world all will thrive. I know in my heart that intentional love is programmed in our DNA and can never be undone, only disregarded, or overlooked. Spirit can always resolve any situation if we are aligned in peace. I agree with Wayne Dyer’s quote: “If it brings you a sense of peace, then it is your higher self at work.” clb
Meaningful Impact
June 2021
June is going to be one of those months that move along too quickly and will bring an abundance of inspirational energy. The message from the universe is to allow yourself to think big and live your life according to your authentic nature. Pay attention to your intuitive guidance. Said differently, it means reconnecting you with your fundamental natural creative self. It is a move away from whom you should be and invites you to reconnect with the deepest part of your being. This allows you to manifest your dreams and live authentically.
This month is a time of empowerment to create new projects that ultimately will have a meaningful impact for your life and those around you. When life is in balance, and in tune, your life’s mission is in alignment with your creative flow which allows you to be fully present and immersed in your tasks. Ask yourself the following questions.
What aspect of your life needs more inspiration?
Have you ignored one side of your life to focus on another? clb
Positive Changes
May 2021
Mars moves to the 6th house towards the end of the month, and this brings positive changes in your health. This is an ideal time to spend some time on upgrading your health. Start walking, exercise, do yoga, or any other activity that helps you feel more alive. There is a visible increase in energy levels, so you should take this opportunity to do something to enhance your wellbeing.
It is also the perfect time to let go of what you have been told you should do, and instead, choose to live life from the heart of compassion, pouring forth spiritual strength that will liberate you. Compassion is in your heart to free you from judgement and live a life of greater peace. Be prepared to grow and shine in the coming months. clb
Divine Connections
April 2021
To connect with another person, with the intention of sharing love, means that a Divine miracle is happening. We all are enriched and nourished by what we share on a Soul level. Sharing love has no hidden agenda and therefore nothing is expected from one another. I believe the Soul desires to collaborate, connect and inspire others. By being conscious of our true connections, and understanding they are Divine not random, we can embrace each other and flourish.
It is up to us to open ourselves up to the richer experiences that life has in store for us. We can do this by moving along a path where we learn to dance with life, go with the ebb and flow of our human existence, and most of all feel connected and supported by the greater power within. Blessings clb
March Forward
March 2021
March is the perfect month to listen to your inner wisdom. You will receive the perfect information to create the synchronicities for moving forward in the next few months. These synchronicities will move life forward in an awakened conscious celebration. March 2021 is the month where more and more truth will be revealed and healed. Blocks and challenges will be cleared away and the truth will shine; you have been on hold way too long. You know what you are doing and where you are going. Trust all that is happening is Divine Timing. You must believe that everything that happens in your life, country, and world occurs at precisely the right moment.
Divine timing is one of the many ways the universe looks out for each of us. It helps us avoid pitfalls by slowing things down and gives us signs that help us take advantage of opportunities to see, sense and feel our way through each moment.
March 13th is when the new moon is in Pisces and it will be a good time to start something new. Try a new yoga move, a more in-depth meditation practice, or a new art project. It is the perfect opportunity to spiritually become more attuned to your divine creation. With the shifting energies in March, it is the perfect time to schedule a phone session. Blessings clb
Higher Love
February 2021
February’s 2021 energy is driven by Neptune, the planet of higher love and inspiration. Valentine’s Day is the most powerful day this month. Its energy inspires us to connect and embrace our advanced knowledge of the divine process for creating happiness, while strengthening our gift of vision to enlightenment.
Those of us that want to evolve into a more conscious way of life will be rewarded. It is time to let our souls be happy and have fun once again. We have been worried and overwhelmed long enough. Remember that we were created from light and love and we can’t let the challenges we encountered last year dominate our future actions. Our loving intentions will determine how this month will play out. Our state of mind has influence over our moods, relationships, and our overall well-being. Take positive action to shift back to happiness. Blessings clb
“It is time to shed the burdens of the past year and come up fresh and alive.” Sadhguru
Gently Ride the Wave
January 2021
January 2021 is the month when we define how we relate to ourselves and others in this ever-changing world. It is a time to gently ride the wave of what is happening around us as energy continues to realign itself. We must trust that all is in divine alignment and stay in our truth. Now is the time to envision what we want to manifest in each moment and stay centered, regardless of outside circumstances. We must embrace why we are here and stay in divine faith.
We know the way; we know Spirit’s song and how to follow our divine guidance to hold the light of right intention for all. Together we hold the key to greatness and integrity; this is how we will succeed in 2021.
For each of us personally we will continue to awaken to the fact that we are beams of light walking through life sharing our spiritual and physical presence as lightworkers. Together we are ready to stand in our unshakable self-confidence as we make a positive difference in our world. In this energy we will be able to deal with any unexpected changes. Blessings clb
2020 December Energies
December 2020
December is a time to let go of all overwhelming feelings of 2020 and the heaviness of this year’s past circumstances. The promise of 2021, which equals a 5 in numerology, helps us to use our ability to adapt to circumstances through divine faith. The number 5 symbology has the vibration of Divine Will which is considered the mediator between God and the Universal Truths. The year 2020 allowed us, as Lightworkers, the tools to awaken our authentic state of being and choose to become more empowered beings.
With faith and trust, we can embrace a time of significant shifts that require trust in the Divine Plan. The next few weeks will continue to bring to the surface issues in need of release and we must not react negatively. Together, through our prayers and gratitude, we can stay centered in light and love.
The cosmic shifts to awaken all humanity from outdated illusions was destined to play out. We are here to witness and grow beyond the illusions that have separated and divided humanity. We may not understand on many levels but must hold the space for the highest good of all concerned with harm to no one. The purpose of this chaos is to cosmically reset humanity on a path of Divine Peace. All that is required of us is to trust “All Is Unfolding in Divine Order”. Blessings clb
Releasing All Illusions
November 2020
Open your thoughts to new ideas to shift your foundation, while releasing all illusions that you need something outside of yourself to stay centered and peace filled.
Shake off anything threatening that interrupts your peace, moving forward to stand in your ultimate divine power. Become aware of all the attachments that hold you back dragging you down. Know that you must heal your negative thoughts, understanding them with a loving commitment, while knowing that all is well in our world.
As we grow and develop individually, we get out of our own way. We then become more compassionate souls and can inspire others. clb
Inner Mindscapes
October 2020
This month Saturn and Pluto will be urging us to take responsibility for our actions, words, and thoughts–as above, so below, as within, so without, for what we speak will come to fruition. We must clear any thoughts, fears or actions that block our gratitude and blessings which can disturb our peace of mind. We must choose to join in with the energy of listening and understanding while at the same time not reacting to another’s point of view. We must not engage in judgement, or be attached, forcing others to believe what we believe.
When we are detached, from outside influences, our minds no longer wander, or respond to pressure or control. This allows us to reclaim our natural state of neutrality. When we intend to come from a neutral state of being, stand in our truth, and give respect to others to stand in their truth, it allows us to come from love, compassion, and support.
If we yearn to shift our external reality, we need to start with our inner mindscapes and open ourselves to new thoughts and healthier points of view. Keep clear, keep growing and keep choosing gratitude and stay grounded. Studies have demonstrated how gratitude can increase one’s happiness and can improve overall health and wellbeing.
October is the perfect month to choose to be an active force in empowering self–as a pioneering creator, not only for our lives but family and community. We can all hold the space for the highest good of all concerned with harm to no one.
How? Speak and listen from a place of inspiration. We can all be conscious warriors to inspire the collective consciousness to thrive. There is no one better suited to imbue life with divine right intention. clb
Mantra
I will let the habitual focus on self–relax and dissolve, expanding until I feel “self” as a natural extension of the spirit that flows through all things —simply, slowly, deeply.

Within the Fire
“Within each of us, beneath the surface of our mind, there is a fire, a spiritual fire. It is the source of our inspiration. It is the fire of our divine knowledge, the deeper Mind of God, burning like a hearth, consuming our worries and our pain, purifying, blessing, and guiding each one of us.” What if this is also true for Mother Earth? clb
New Level
September 2020
As September arrives, the new moon will offer us an opportunity to begin on a whole new level of self-creation. It is time to focus on this: Who am I? When am I in my power? How can I cultivate divine alignment with my soul? When these questions are answered, then we will strengthen our connection to our divine wisdom and move into the deeper heart and create a true transformation of Self.
I believe that with the simplest shift in perception, and by exploring these questions, we can create our own reality and truly understand our divine nature. We can then focus on our divine nature and live a healthy and joyful life.
This invitation is called attraction in its clearest form. We all can tap into this Universal Attraction which is a natural process of matching vibrations, frequencies, and densities that are similar.
When we hold on to the frequency of faith, we can lift others up and attract goodness in every situation. No matter what is going on around us there are always lessons within every circumstance, even if we can ‘t immediately identify them.
When stress, fear, or conflict threatens our peace of mind, remember that we have the power to choose whether or not to engage in this energy. We can be caring and supportive without taking part in this negative-thinking or fear-based behavior. By staying steady in our divine power, we can act as a calming influence. Blessings c
The New Normal?
August 2020
Once in awhile, someone will ask me to ask Spirit what is the new normal. Who gets to decide what it is, what are the repercussions, and what will happen if I don’t follow along with it?
Definition: Normal is used to describe individual behavior that conforms to the most common behavior in society (known as conformity).
How does one translate all that is going on in the world today into our consciousness, and stay centered in our moment-by-moment daily experience?
What if the new normal is not new at all. I have been teaching for years that we all must open our eyes, hearts, and minds to loving kindness and respect not only for ourselves but others as well. Living a mindful life of compassion and inclusion transforms all lives for the better and is a spiritual way of being.
Spiritual maturity is trusting that there is an understanding of a divine consciousness that lives in all of us and our world. This divine presence unifies all things in divine right creational action, and I believe that every human being has the capacity to show this side of themselves.
Mindfulness is intentionally observing the world around you from a place of calm objectivity, anchored in the present moment. You must stay grounded and be conscious of those around you without contributing to fear. Practicing and trusting this concept not only keeps you healthy, both physically and mentally, but it helps you better relate to the world around you and gives you a higher sense of purpose.
I am guided that true mindfulness of others will help us to be more patient and compassionate to each other. It does not mean you have to like other people’s actions, and you do not have to react to them.
How can we achieve this and not suffer any repercussions such as a feeling of being attacked or living in fear. We can achieve this by slowing down, becoming more conscious and aware of what is happening around us, not taking it personally, and at the same time not participating in mass hysteria. We can choose to act and speak from a place of kindness, love, compassion, and understanding. Be mindful and fully aware of the present moment. Most of all be open to the endless possibilities of positive change for yourself, others and the world. As a beacon of light do your best to serve. Do this by demonstrating respect and empathy to all individuals, cultures and society as a whole, no matter their beliefs. clb
Taking Back Your Power
July 2020
I was praying about what topic to write about in this month’s newsletter and I was guided to revisit taking back our personal power. I know this topic can seem totally a little cliche because; well, it’s a pretty common topic in my teaching and in several of my spiritual articles.
I teach that personal power plays a big part in our ability to be successful and happy. It also helps us to manifest healthfully, be confident in our choices and feel safe. I always say, are you working for life or making life work for you? Everything in our culture (especially lately) teaches us to deny our personal power and give it to external forces.
Giving our power to outside forces can, and will, throw us off balance. Here are four signs that your life is out of balance: When you feel extremely chaotic and believe there is nothing you can do to achieve inner balance. You find yourself reacting to everything, including things that other people say and do, or being emotionally affected to conditions outside your control.
Your life has taken on an erratic flow and it feels as if life is “happening to you” and everything is at the mercy of your reaction to change.
You are too tired to recognize or enforce your own emotional, personal and professional boundaries.
I believe that having divine personal power is our God-given right. True personal power means having the ability to handle life’s challenges with divine courage and by breaking free from inertia and from anything that holds us back and makes us feel mentally and emotionally powerless. clb
Appreciation is Fundamental
June 2020
Summer arrives here on June 20, 2020, and it is time for the sun to shine in every corner of our lives. Our next step in evolution is to hold the mind steady in the light. Everyday we have the chance to start over and appreciate who we are and what we have.
One of my favorite quotes about appreciation is from Amelia Earhart, “The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.”
Recognizing gratitude and appreciation may be one of the most overlooked tools for increasing happiness. Research shows these two words can be the most powerful methods of increasing happiness and joy in our lives. Each day we can choose to write a gratitude list with up to six things we really appreciate about ourselves, others, or even what we experienced yesterday.
This writing exercise helps us to focus our mind on the positive and turn it away from the negativity of the daily grind. Showing appreciation benefits everyone. When we show gratitude and appreciation, it makes us happier and healthier. clb
Spiritual Restructuring
May 2020
I send light and love that you are all staying centered and balanced as we move further into the fifth dimensional energy.
So far, 2020 has been an eye-opening year where we have been forced to “let go of the should of” having to do with this or that. These changes are happening not only within ourselves, but how we interact with others in our surroundings. This spiritual restructuring energy will help us transform into healthier human beings. This lighter relationship will better suit us, as well as our relationship with Mother Earth, and make way for many new beginnings.
This energy field, during the past few weeks, has helped us to be honest with ourselves and others. We are learning to distance ourselves and have the courage to flow with the changes and relax. Keeping a slower pace in our lives, in the upcoming weeks, is our invitation to restructure how we live, releasing fear and drama and creating our own true divine existence.
When we become willing to see a world beyond our physical sight, then life becomes easier. We feel safer, and we can access our own true power. By the end of the year, Saturn will have moved fully into Aquarius, showing us the deep truth and alchemy that has occurred after many years of stagnation. This has pushed us to release all our old behaviors and open up ourselves to a new awareness of peace. Worry not, we are ready for this new awakening. We, as humans, will feel more powerful than ever, more compassionate and loving. clb
Choose to Embrace Life
April 2020
Everything you need is right here. This down time is the time to cut out the distractions, open your eyes, and see that you already have everything in your possession to be happy, loved, and fulfilled.
It’s not out there; it never was out there. It’s just been covered up by all the external things we have identified as “needed” to complete us. We can feel overwhelmed by living in a material fast-paced world. This message might give you an alternative perspective. When all is said and done, the love and support we share is imperative.
I truly feel that when we send loving spiritual intentions to the world they are extremely powerful. If each of us takes one moment to visualize positive prayers wrapping the world in a blanket of peace, love and healing, together we can change our world for the better. It never helps anyone to focus on fear, sadness, or anger. I feel that only love and forgiveness is key.
I am guided that the care and empathy we share, through our prayers, is never lost. This can be shared through compassion, inspiration and service. Hope is never insignificant, so whatever we do to support each other over the next few weeks will show our true character. We can choose to share the feeling of love, understanding and kindness to all. This is an important way to stay balanced during this health situation.
The way to stop living in fear is to embrace life. I cannot say this enough. We can choose to stay out of the madness and drama; instead we can be mindful and create our own safe space. We must practice not to give our power to fear, but through intention return to peace of mind.
On January 12, of this year, Jupiter and Pluto joined in the ninth house of optimism and higher consciousness to shift all stagnant, unconscious, and fear-based teachings that no longer serve us. These beliefs and/or values can be applied to heal Mother Earth and her people. We must stand in our own true power and not be victimized by outside fear-based projections. I truly believe we create our own reality, and if we give in to the power of the outside sources we get out of balance.
To make life work for us during this disruptive time in our lives, we must think clearly, stay calm and take whatever precautions we need to make us feel safe. Most of all we have to stay centered and have faith that all is well in our world. By thinking positive thoughts, and setting our intentions to stay healthy, we can strengthen our immune systems and fight off sickness in any form. Within our spiritual beliefs, inspired by love, trust and prayer, we can feel and benefit from the essence of wholeness that leads to a healthier mind and body.
As a result, we are assessing and guiding our innate wisdom and truly trusting our divine connection to God’s grace. When we love and trust ourselves, our unique vibration becomes elevated. Our conscious perceptions of who we are as unique individuals become stronger. We then, have more power over how we react to life. Be bold and reclaim your true identity. clb
Coronavirus – COVID-19
March 2020
I would like to address Coronavirus – COVID-19
First, please do not panic and do your best to stay calm. It is important to continue to live our daily lives. This is a form of the flu.
Second, know your sources when seeking information on the Coronavirus. Do your best to stay out of the collective consciousness of fear and turn off the news. I believe that news is toxic to our bodies. Fear constantly triggers the limbic system and releases cortisol. This compromises the immune system and slows hormones. In other words, the body finds itself in a state of chronic stress. This can cause nervousness and susceptibility to infections.
I get that the word “epidemic” can be overwhelmingly scary sending us into fear. I am guided that there is less to be afraid of than we may think, especially if we follow a few simple, common-sense precautions. This virus is a form of the flu and here are some things we can do to stay healthy.
Never give your power to fear; but I do understand that fear can get your attention. However, it is also impossible to think clearly when you are flooded with fear and/or anxiety. The first thing to do is take time out so you can calm down and think from a more empowered place. Think clearly and take whatever precautions you need to make you feel safe. Then you can become empowered and come up with a plan to avoid disruptions from both COVID-19 or the flu.
We all know the basic rules of washing and disinfecting our hands with soap and hot water for at least twenty seconds. If that option is not available use sanitizing gel or alcohol-based hand wipes.
We all know that our nose and eyes are the most common places for germs to get into the body. Avoid touching your face.
Get sufficient sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep adds to a healthy immune system. Drinking Chamomile tea will support sleep and will help protect your immune system.
Eat plenty of produce and probiotics. Eating an immune system-friendly diet goes a long way to being healthy. Eat antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables (blueberries, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes) which basically strengthen your body’s immune system. Fermented foods like probiotic yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut can also strengthen your immune system.
If you are sick stay at home. We all have a tendency to tough it out when we don’t feel well, but this is one of our worst habits. If you do have to interact with people, be vigilant about washing your hands and not touching your face. If you have any symptoms at all and are worried contact your doctor. Knowledge is power.
If you do get sick—when you have to cough or sneeze, do so in the crook of your elbow, not your hands.
If you are healthy, wearing a mask is unlikely to help in most situations, especially if you don’t wear a new one every time you go out.
Take herbs and vitamins. Vitamin C, B-12 and D’s are the best for boosting your immunity.
Vitamin C is one of the biggest immune system boosters of all. In fact, a lack of Vitamin C can make you more prone to getting sick. (Airborne or Emergen-C are two great products.)
Vitamin B-6 is vital to supporting biochemical reactions in the immune system.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body fight off infection.
Elderberry is packed with antioxidants and vitamins that boost your immune system. They can help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart.
Turmeric or Curcumin (the natural compound in turmeric) is a potent anti-inflammatory compound. It has also been shown to boost immune cell activity and enhance antibody responses.
Stay centered. I am guided that staying positive and setting our intention to be healthy will help us fight off sickness in any form. I believe the true healing process many of us are undergoing is one of re-aligning one’s self. Within our spiritual beliefs, inspired by love, trust and prayer, we can feel and intend the essence of wholeness that leads to a healthier mind and body.
As a result, we are assessing and guiding our innate wisdom so we know what is for our highest good, truly trusting our connection to God’s goodness. When we love and trust ourselves, our unique vibration becomes elevated, and our conscious perceptions of who we are as creators become stronger and fear has less power over our lives.

Rise Up
March 2020
Calling all creators and risk takers. Come now, speak your voice, and find your wings to fly. March is the month to show up, be yourself, and be liberated. It is the time to be focused on your world and be the center of your reality as you stay out of the world’s chaos. Take time to contemplate and reach in the direction you yearn to go; speak your truth and choose to live it unconditionally. When we choose for ourselves at a cellular level, we choose divine radiance and our lives flow in perfect balance creating a bright future. We can choose to live each day in harmony and divine consciousness. This attracts us to what we want to create, allowing us to be at peace with ourselves.
To create an optimal life we must redefine our values and strengthen our spiritual development. Set your goals and intentions in line with your values. Take a moment and ask yourself– am I being authentic and in alignment with my truths. In doing so, be sure you know your reasons for doing it. Your creativity will guide you to take the proper action. Rise up, take action, and be fulfilled. clb

Happy Valentine’s Day
February 2020
The roots of Valentine’s Day goes back to ancient times, when people paid honor to the Roman God of Fertility. This was known as the Feast of Lupercalia, and was celebrated even then on February 14th.Exploring the Human Ego
For years I have been teaching and exploring the human ego. I feel by understanding and dissecting our ego, we can learn more about ourselves. By doing this we gain a greater understanding of how our unhealthy patterns function.
The ego is a perception of ourselves and controls whether or not we react through love or fear. This is also how we project ourselves to the outside world. How others treat us is a reflection of how we treat ourselves. Everyone has an ego; it is a natural facet of our human experience. How we invest in our ego has major implications of the way we act and what we believe. We respond to adversities such as criticisms, insults, values and failures by our ego’s influence. It defines how we create reality and shape our lives.
Understanding how and when to invest our ego will give us better control over our emotions and judgment. This gives us insight to how other people behave and how we respond. By delving into the ego’s influence we can use our understanding of it to gain a conscious divine balance of ourselves and we will ultimately have greater understanding of the world around us.

Happy New Year
January 2020
Divine Truths
The year 2020 contains one of the most powerful divine frequencies of light we have seen in years and this is influenced by the alignment of Saturn and Pluto. This energy will peak this month, January 2020. The alignment of these two planets offer us a great opportunity to ascend to higher levels of consciousness, setting the tone for the whole year. This energy will allow our spiritual growth and manifestation skills to accelerate and, together with Mother Earth, harmonize this ultra-powerful energy and vibrating in the same frequency as the number 22.
This is a huge process of ascension and awakening, moving us towards a lighter experience.
The heaviness that we cleansed in 2019 has prepared us for this new wave of divine consciousness. That is why we had to release and let go of all our struggles and focus on the positive.
2020 will not necessarily be about delving into the darkness to “fix” it, but about rising above it. Rising so high that darkness has no choice but to disappear. The truth comes out in the light and it reveals our true honesty.
True honesty becomes the main objective and this encourages us to restructure our lives in order to live in our divine truth. We may be surprised by this transformation and will discover a new perspective filled with confidence, strength and intention.
So what is Divine Truth? When I think of Divine Truth, I immediately feel that deep within each of us is a space of perfection, beauty, innocence and unconditional love. This cannot be seen with the physical eyes, but is experienced with the inner spiritual vision. Connecting with this space, even if briefly, offers us a new way to understand ourselves and everyone else in our lives. It is an invitation to push a “reset” button where everything in our being is filled with the light of love and forgiveness. Then only light, love and innocence remain.
The place of Divine Truth has nothing to do with our age, gender, ethnicity, skin color, profession, or anything related to the personality self. Pure Truth is the place within us that cannot be changed or distorted by anything external.
Imagine that within us we have a storehouse of infinite energy, vision and bliss, and that can never be taken away. We can access them at all times by forming a connection to the true self, which to me feels like having an anchor that grounds me in my life. This allows me to be aligned both physically and emotionally. Blessings c
Happy Holidays
December 2019
A Sense of Wonder
At this time of year, what if you took the approach of seeing the holidays from a “sense of wonder” instead of the overwhelming feeling that impacts us during this time. By shifting your consciousness, this allows you to return to your childlike wonder of grace, gratitude and love. Aligning this energy spiritually will inspire you to celebrate the season with family and friends in a relaxed and calming atmosphere.
In order to do this, you might need to change old patterns and practice self- control when it comes to buying gifts, entertaining and dealing with the commercialization of the holidays. This can be accomplished by listening to your loved ones needs- they can be very different from what you think or plan for them.
Here are three steps: First put things in perspective, second prioritize, and third do less.
These steps are a healthy way to deal with this time of year. This will ultimately lead to a healthier and joy-filled holiday experience.
Have a peaceful Christmas season filled with love. clb
Fill Your Cup
November 2019
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
November is a time for filling your cup with abundant appreciation, and sweeten your senses by tenderly caring for body and spirit. It is a time to get creative about caring for yourself, and celebrate who you are. Paying attention and listening to your body as a source of wisdom will inspire you to maintain wellness in your life. Taking a moment in deep resting silence will set your spirit free from the demands of everyday life.
When your cup is full you will become comfortable in your own skin. This lets you pursue activities that make you happy, and let go of those that no longer benefit you. Being a free spirit allows you to take mindful responsibility for your actions and sets you free.
Living your life intentionally and creating positive outcomes will fill your cup to overflowing. When you live joyously in the moment it radiates to all those around you. You will feel empowered, and will be able to refocus your priorities, and simplify your lifestyle choices.
Let this be your guide–it is time to celebrate! clb
Manifestation Equals Magical Moments
October 2019
Happy Halloween…
“One of my favorite words is magical, just the word itself reminds me to live my divine intention. By living in alignment, and strengthening my heart connection with the Divine, I am allowed to co-create something wonderful every moment . I believe, when choosing to manifest for the highest good for myself and others, the benefits are astoundingly beautiful. Beautifully aligned with good!” clb
Fall’s magical energy is to cultivate a life full of health, integrity, love, honesty and goodness. Cultivating all of this involves being a conscious observer, or the spiritual witness, to our thoughts. By paying attention we can develop a deeper sense of stillness and truth. When we come to embrace the infinite space of peace within us, it becomes easier to let go of stress and being overwhelmed.
Empowering our inner space involves becoming the watcher, or the witness to our thoughts, and that develops a deeper sense of stillness. Through focus we come to understand this deeper space of goodness within. It becomes easier to let go of “fear” and lets our divine -based thoughts guide us instead. Being able to move into this internal space of now is how we can hold the space of our true nature, which is love.
Fall is a time of decisions, looking inward and outward, and choosing what to let go of. It may not always feel comfortable, but we must let go or we will get bogged down in the old belief systems from the past. By taking responsibility for our divine creation, and through the exploration of a consistent self-reflection and inner examination, we become more conscious, authentic and real.

Pure In Spirit for September’s Energy
September 2019
The symbolism of September “Is Pure in Spirit” and centers on refocusing our energies to create for the better. During this amazing month of September lets direct our intentions on healing the world around us. I believe that when we send loving spiritual intentions to the world they make a powerful difference. If each of us take a moment to visualise these positive prayers, wrapping our world in a matrix of peace, love and healing we can create an actual grid that will help cancel those focusing on sadness, anger or fear. I feel that only love and forgiveness transforms.
Since September’s energy is lucky, motivated, enthusiastic and contains a mystical, somewhat magical, vibration which caters for an ideal time for manifestation. Lets use this month’s energy to share our love, prayers, intentions, actions, thoughts and words, because they are never lost. True goodness shared through our intentions and prayers are never inconsequential. Whatever we can do to hold the space of love and compassion, towards ourselves and others, is essential to create a better world. Blessing c
