March Newsletter

Hello Beloveds,

I have been back in KC for 4 weeks now and I’m finally feeling like I’m settling into life back here stateside, after living in Mexico on or by the ocean for 5 weeks. There has been much to process and integrate. There was a lot of excitement, new experiences, and teachings to take in while leading two Spiritual Healing Retreats abroad, and from what I am seeing and experiencing happening on a collective scale.

The planet is changing and people are waking up. Humans are becoming more inquisitive of their Spiritual nature and considerate of their energy. It’s no longer being labeled a “woo-woo” only thing by the masses. I’m seeing anti-woo-woo people suck back their previously judgmental words and swallow them. Their view is widening. Truth is being sought and known.

What I witnessed in my retreat participants is that they were open, ready, and willing to live a more Spiritually-aligned life. Opposed to the way of life they’d internalized, typically based off fear. I would watch them receive intuitive direction or downloads from their Higher Selves, nature, or each other, and take action on it immediately. Doing any work necessary to clear the old programs and release blockages. They practiced full trust and deep surrender throughout the entire retreat. It was extremely powerful to watch and is what I feel called to share with you most in my March Newsletter today: The power of calling on Spirit as the GPS to navigate your life. 

How do I do this? When I look at a person who comes to work with me in a session, I open my sight and awareness to not just see their physical-selves, but to take in and be aware of all the things in the non-physical form as well to get a fuller picture. This can feel like widening the landscape from which I’m my looking, softening my eyes, and feeling into the energy coming through from a source beyond me – beyond my ego’s needs or agenda. I call on Spirit to make me a vessel of thy work and through the power of intention, I state the person/place/thing I’d like to receive guidance on. I begin making myself a container to allow Spirit to work through me, and open my sensing pathways to let the information flow. I then do my best to step my ego back (the part of me that wants to judge, figure something out, or fix something, and comes from a place of survival) and trust what’s coming through. 

I get so excited when I see others in the world starting to live more from these God-given intuitive senses we all have. The power of Spirit is literally just a prayer away, and what I so enjoyed learning and experiencing in Mexico for those 5 weeks is that when a prayer is asked, it is typically answered within 5 minutes. I SAID 5 MINUTES YAWL!!!! Take this story for example:

I’m at the beautiful Tulum beach one day – and this is by far, the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been too, hence my repeat visits – and I’m swimming in the ocean, basking on a beach bag chair, drinking fresh pineapple juice, reading my book, just absolutely lost in dream-flow land. And I suddenly realize the time, I need to go. I have a Zoom call I need to take back at my villa at 5pm. I start to scurry and grab my things and start fast-walking to where I’d parked my bike, which was a 20 minute walk away. I started to panic a little bit and that old narrative started up in my head. “Gosh dangit Lisa, you did it again. You’re going to be late! What is this thing you have with being on time? Why is it so hard for you??” Then I remember, wait a minute. There is no need to worry or be anxious. I have so much help and support all around me. I’ll just call on Spirit to bring me someone who is safe to give me a ride this short distance to my bike and then I know I’ll be able to make the call on time. 

I proceeded to send out a prayer asking for such, and my Spirit guides said okay, just stay present and aware. The ride is coming. I continued to walk and wait a few minutes and asked my guides to tell me when the car was coming so I wouldn’t be worried I was missing my ride as other cars drove by. In the next minute I heard my guides tell me to turn and see the next vehicle coming. It was an old, worn out black jeep, and they said, “here’s your ride.” I put my thumb out – something I’ve never done and felt a little apprehensive about so I checked in with my guides again to ensure this was a safe move and they assured me yes, so mom if you’re reading this don’t be worried! The jeep pulled over and it all felt right so I hopped in, asked if he could drive me the short distance to my bike and off we went. I made it to my bike safely and home in time to rinse off the sand and make the call with a few minutes to spare. 

What amazed me about this experience was how present, ready and wanting my Spirit guides were there to support me. Once I remembered that anxiety doesn’t get me anywhere more quickly or safely, and that I have a choice to change the channel from fear to love, I was literally taken care of in 5 minutes. The changing the channel is an essential and important peace. Most of us don’t even realize we have a choice in which frequency we’re dialed into, but we do. When we’re tuned to the dial of fear, it’s EXTREMELY difficult to receive messages or feel connected to Spirit at all. Returning to love opens the door to receive. I continued to practice this consistently on my trip and it literally blew my mind at every step or turn, I was being taken care of in some way, and often all I had to do was remember to ask. 

Living in this way is SO MUCH MORE FUN too! When I play the game, “let’s see how taken care of I am” I experience a life filled with so much flow, ease, joy, and laughter. Yes, Spirit has jokes, they like to laugh too! I notice that when I’m traveling I have more opportunity to use my intuitive senses since I don’t know my way around. I especially experience this in places where I don’t speak the native tongue, where there isn’t an option to connect through spoken words. During this trip, I noticed my connection to Spirit got even stronger and clarified.

The power of prayer is a lost art. I recall another day I was walking home from the beach in Cozumel and I was having a really hard day. I’d had a lot of deep fear activated that afternoon and I was utterly lost in it. As I slowly walked home, one of my guides, who is my father, was finally able to poke through the fear. “Hey, remember me?!” He was saying, “remember how I’m here and how you have this whole council of ancestors and guides watching out for you? Call on us.” And so I did, dropping out of the fear cycle long enough to send out a prayer. Immediately after I thought, well that’s probably not going to work. That was pretty lackluster, I wasn’t very clear and didn’t try very hard. (More fear Fear FEAR!) But guess what. Within 5 minutes I’m walking by this couple and they have this super sweet small dog – which if you’ve ever met or seen my 2 little fur babies you know I’m a sucker for small dogs 😉 and I’m drawn into the dog. I also feel the couple curious about me in the state I was in. I came in slowly to connect with the dog and the man said, “So, how’s your day going today?” I was hesitant about what to say, not feeling super comfortable to divulge much, but as conversation went on I began allowing bits about having a hard day out of me, and they met me with kindness in their listening. They continued chatting me up for a while, I could tell they were trying to to help me, as a way of showing support. Towards the end of the convo the man said, “You know it’s so weird, I never ask people how their day is going. I have no idea what made me want to say that to you.” I replied, “I do.” 🙂 

Again, the power of Spirit to show up through animals, people, cars, songs, numbers, you name it. As the outside world gets crazier and filled with greater amounts of chaos, drama, and intensity, I have found solace in Spirit. 

You can live this way too. This is not a special gift for me. All human beings are built with a knowing and as you look behind any person, you see an order of ancestors lining up behind them that are just waiting to carry them in Grace. However the Spirit realm can’t act unless we ask. These are the gifts God has granted us from love. I often hear clients talk about how they don’t feel like they have access to Spirit, they don’t know how, they’re scared, they don’t truly believe they’re worthy of God’s love. This is one of the biggest wounds across humanity. To be living in a world where God has been made into something to be fearful of, who wants to punish us if we make a mistake, who casts out judgement of right and wrong, who we have to be worthy of some unattainable metric to be loved. This is Spiritual warfare and we all most move through these fear-laden beliefs to return to the Truth. 

God is love. You are love. You come from love. This is not a dualistic Universe. We are here to remember what love is, and we often learn this by seeing and naming what it is not. 

Much love to you beloveds on your Spiritual journey. If you’d like to connect with your guides, learn more about how to walk a Spiritual path and need support in doing so, you may book a 1:1 here.

If you’d like to learn How to Channel yourself, please see the link below for my Healer’s Level 1 class where I teach you how to connect to Source and receive channeled messages and wisdom.

December Newsletter

Dear Beloveds,

Happy Holiday season. I awoke at 4am this morning with mental activity and this need to create and share. Sleep has been sporadic lately and I’m trying to not make it mean anything, all the while longing for a solid nights rest. I know it’s coming and I also know the best thing I can do is move with the energy presenting itself, respond in kind and loving ways, be open to change and new flows, and make an active choice to enjoy the ride 🙂 

I don’t know about you, but I got struck with the need to slow down, rest, and hibernate the last 2 weeks. Winter is setting in for me and I’m ready for lots of quiet solitude, nurturing self-care, reflection, contemplation, reading and writing — and by the fire too as my fireplace is getting fixed today! I’m so excited to have this fireplace for the winter. I’ve never had one myself but have had friends have them over the years and I have grown to absolutely love them for the cold and dreary days. There is something so comforting about cozying up next to the fire with a good book and a hot cup of tea. 

This season to me is all about nourishing the Spirit. I’ve had a lot of inner, lively, creative energy brewing inside of me that just cannot stand the mundane tasks right now. I am the type that has a lot of natural drive and ambition, so plowing through my to-do list most days feels pretty easy, but not once we hit December. I’ve been yearning for lots of spaciousness to respond to my feminine creative flow as she arises, allowing myself to go off schedule, order or deadline. I’ve been really feeling my hierarchy of needs shift from my typical Yang energy (structure, order, drive, ambition, completing tasks, serving my business) to Yin energy with strong needs for creativity, expression, spontaneity, flexibility, quiet, peace, solitude, and Being. And this makes sense as I, and we, are a part of nature, and nature is in a death process, therefore, so am I in some ways. Now is the time for us to reflect the natural world and allow for more stillness.

Life moves in cycles and phases and I notice I feel my best and do my best when I follow the natural rhythm. I learned so much of this from doing years of wombyn’s work, teaching me how to surrender, trust my natural flow, to not push or do unless the energy is there, stay diligent in naming and feeling my feelings, allowing a lot of permission for my vulnerability and the need to express it, and then of course, make time to play, catchup and laugh with those I love. 

There’s this misperception in our American culture that when we aren’t being productive that means we are lazy and aren’t accomplishing anything. That is so far from the truth. Not doing anything, being, resting, and enjoying is actually doing a lot and is required to refuel us, inspire us and take action when we need to. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) this is called our Jing energy. Jing is the Chinese word for essence and is known as our life force energy. When we are resting, playing, in leisure and Being our Jing energy is restored and rejunivated, building our bodies energy systems and organs back up so we have natural energy to fuel our brains, body’s and normal day to day activities. In our culture, many’s Jing energy is getting heavily depleted since we don’t honor the unmet needs to restore this natural life force. 

Interestingly enough, Jing energy is stored in the kidneys and the kidneys are also known to be where we humans hold our fear. If you look at society, most are caught in survival and reacting from a state of fear response (fight, flight, faint, or flee) a lot of the time. I went through a huge upsurge in fear over the summer as I bought my home. It was a brand new process for me and it was quite overwhelming given it was the largest loan I’ve ever taken in my whole life, along with moving back in wth my partner. It was so much unknown, required change, and unforeseen events that sent me into survival, and soon enough, my kidneys started to give and so did my thyroid.

Do you pee a lot? Do some research and look into your kidney function. They may be deficient and therefore you’re not absorbing water. At this point in my life I probably pee anywhere from 20-30 times a day. 1: It’s freaking ANNOYING and 2: I finally have an answer to why I pee so much after asking this question to many doctors and healer’s for years, none of whom had an answer and just gave me “this is just something you’re going to have to live with” answers. I knew there had to be a reason though, because it hasn’t always been like this. It feels so good to know how they got so deficient — being in constant states of fear response and living in survival for the last decade and a half — and that there’s a way to restore them back to normal. By supporting my Jing. 

One thing I’ve really learned to understand and know on my Spiritual path is that when I listen to my shifting range of feelings, allow myself to flow with the energy present, and honor my needs without judgement, resistance, or guilt, my life tends to fall into a state of harmony even if my outer circumstances are challenging. I still feel in my center and feel supported from within and by Spirit. This requires me to be actively practicing trust and surrender. Trust that I’m taken care of and that also, I’m not in charge and don’t always know best. Surrender to Spirit.  

I’m wishing you a very Merry and wonderful Holiday season – however you celebrate it, recognize it or not. May it grow your Jing energy and may you allow yourself to fall into the death of winter with ease. 

As a sidenote – Clients and community, I will be leaving mid-January to lead retreats in Mexico and will be gone until mid-late February. If you try to schedule on my online calendar, you’ll notice the dates blocked off. If you’d like to see me before I leave, I suggest booking time after Christmas until Jan 10th. To book some 1:1 time with me, click HERE. In the meantime, check out my Healer’s Level 1: How to Channel class listed below that will be held late Feb. And if I don’t see you until after I return, have a Happy New Year.

Peace and Blessings to all!

November Newsletter

Dear Beloveds,

Happy Thanksgiving week! Isn’t it incredible that we devote a whole day on the annual calendar to give thanks? Whomever decided to do that I believe knew how important Gratitude is as a Spiritual tool to living an awakened, aware, peaceful and joyful life. 

I’ll often hear clients say to me that they:

“don’t feel like they’re doing anything Spiritual with their lives”
“feel like they’ve fallen off their Spiritual path”
“feel lost, distant, aloof, and alienated from anything meaningful in their lives”

Being in spaces like this a person often has questions come up like, “what’s the point of my life?” “what value do I have?” “what is my purpose?” Without a deeper meaning to this whole human game, a hungry longing can arise that literally yearns for God. With strong aches and pains over this seeming disconnection. 

Well, one of my favorite teachers always told me, “Connection is a fact, not a feeling.” We can’t be separate from God (aka Love, Universe, Spirit) and our ego’s can do a really convincing job that we are. 

So, how do you return to this feeling of connection with the Universe? A simple and easy way is to Give Thanks. For everything. The good, the bad, and the in-between. 

I also sooooo love and appreciate Gratitude because it is a completion energy. When we can feel true gratitude for a challenging/painful thing in our lives, that means we’ve learned the lesson and the energy is no longer stuck in fear and isolation and we’ve completed the cycle. Then we are freed up to move into higher frequencies like joy, peace, compassion. 

One quick and cost-free way to live Spiritually is to live in Gratitude. 

May you enjoy a wonderful season of Gratitude beloveds and include it in your Spiritual practice. 

Peace and Blessings to all!

October Newsletter

Dear Beloveds,

Have you been experiencing all the effects of the New Moon in Scorpio conjunct Pluto – Solar Eclipse this week?? I most definitely have. Scorpio is the Zodiac of the underworld. God of Hades. It holds all of our deepest, darkest thoughts, feelings and secrets. And when Scorpio is conjunct Pluto, you’re guaranteed to no longer be able to push things under the rug. This formation can’t help but reveal what we’ve been hiding. 

Woof. That’s big big energy! Intense energy! Once addressed and processed, can be quite relieving and restorative – but we have to go through it first. I felt pretty good going into this New Moon. Everything seemed pretty calm and grounded. Then BAM. My activation was brought by the people around me and what they were going through. Some mirroring began happening and all of a sudden my weeds were popping up to be pulled from the garden. 

This time of year I always notice a lot begins to be stirred up as the days get shorter and there is a natural inclination to Fall into myself. What has been going inside of me I haven’t been addressing or giving time too? I can easily get pulled into so much busyness trying to keep up with the demand in my business that my inner voice and needs get quieter and quieter. Until I’m drowning her and she has no choice but to claw and gasp at me for air. “Me! Remember me?!” she says.

I got to see earlier this week how I am creating the chaos and setting the fast pace because of my unwillingness to look at personal issues in my own life. My natural propensity is to “run” from things and boy have I been doing that when it comes to myself. Granting myself permission to do so because it’s “in service to others.” Nothing is in service to others if it’s not first in service to yourSelf she says. Woof again. How can I complain about the busyness when I’m telling the Universe this is the speed I’d like to keep? Having a bit of space to ask myself the questions of what is the busy energy providing me showed me quickly and clearly that at times I may choose busy in order to hide from my own shit. But all the astrological events this week didn’t allow for anymore of that. I was given the space, energy and opportunity to excavate my heart and it felt so so relieving, and also, confusing as I navigate all this is coming up.

Eclipses have a way of shifting out the energy we are no longer needing and calling in the new energy we need to stand in how who we are now and they fill the space the clearing left. That to me can feeling like a lot of swirling. Even thinking it and writing it there was a lot stirring in my head and body as I put what I was feeling into words. Haven’t been sleeping well this week? Yep, that’s the Eclipse. Me either. It’s been bringing up a lot of things I thought I had left “in the past.” I guess these things “of the past” are wanting another review. Instead of getting irritated that they’re coming back up, I can ask them why they are here. What is asking to be seen now, at this time? I know that maintaining a curious mind will support me best in moving through the energies, and a lot of grounding. 

It is my sincere desire in sharing my process with you that you can know more about your own. Often the awareness of ourselves is enough to bring healing and revitalization. Sending you all the best during this colorful, crunchy time of year.

August Newsletter

Dear Beloveds,

I shared in last month’s newsletter that I bought a home. What I noticed about the process for me is that it is very masculine. Lots of paper work, signatures, quick decisions, striving, and lateral movements. Then moving into my home was also a very masculine activity. Lots of lifting, organizing, sorting, putting away…and more striving. I noticed throughout the journey it became difficult for me to stay connected to my inner feminine.

Then towards the middle of the journey I started to feel grumpy. I was irritated, angry and tired. I looked to see what was happening and realized I’d been stuck in hyper production mode for months and had completely shut down my inner feminine. I was asking my masculine to do so much I felt like I had to turn off my feminine in order to get it done. So I put a lid on my feelings and needs and got to work.

Being on the other side of this period, I really don’t recommend using this strategy. Although our ego’s have been trained to believe in a do-or-die mentality, we absolutely can complete tasks and be productive through ease and flow, more productive actually. I really got to see – once again – how the practices of pushing and forcing have been conditioned within me and how they tear down my whole world – physical health, positive mentality, connected & empathy-based relationships, and more. This experience really did a number on me so I’ve been contemplating a lot about what happens when we shut the inner feminine down and don’t give her space to emote, express, rest or relax.

Well, in my case she starts to feel overwhelmed, scared, scattered, withdrawn and an anxious mess and has needs for emotional safety, security, to be heard, and to be understood. But since I shut her down, I couldn’t access these feelings and didn’t even know what her needs were because I took away her spot. I told her she needed to go away so that I could get shit done. How often have we been trained to do this as women and men? This is instilled in our culture. That accomplish and doing exceeds all else and is where all of our value lives. This type of thinking and acting is highly detrimental. The blow back after this experience is that my inner feminine was really separated from me, and hurt and needed MUCH MORE NURTURING than if I’d just been doing a little bit here and there all along. 

I even went so far as to pull back energetically from women friends and sister circles so that I could stay in my strong suited masculine and drive the car. I knew if I began talking about it to my ladies, they’d call me out and my unhealthy-masculine methods would be exposed. 

But what makes the masculine unhealthy? What drives it into that category? When there isn’t a teaching, honoring, and experience of the feminine wisdom held within a mind. When we don’t allow boys to cry. When we don’t allow women to make their own choices about their bodies. When we say only men can do a certain job. When we don’t have women in politics. When we think our only value is in what we give and what we do. 

I know learning and honoring my inner feminine will be a lifelong journey for me. I’ve recently gotten back into dancing to help restore her and provide her a creative outlet for expression. I can already feel it making a difference in that I feel softer, sensual, more creative, open and trusting to the flow of life. 

Tune back in next month when I’ll share about my return to Dance, my first love. (after my parents;)

Dear Beloveds,

I’ve been in the midst of a very large and new transition, I put down roots in Kansas City and bought a house.

This process was challenging from the beginning that’s had me present to being “on edge.” The experience has felt like walking the edge of a major learning curve in completely new territory. I was aware that there were a lot of lessons to be learned because nothing moved with ease or grace. It was the exact opposite. Everything had an element of difficulty.

My realtor told me on 3 different occasions that “she had never seen this before in her 18 years of being a realtor.” I bitterly smirked and chuckled, yeah, sounds like my type of life experiences. I get that a lot. My calling requires me to have a ton of experiences in many types of emotion so that I can develop expertise in human feelings. This past year has been filled with odd, strange, and never-seen-before footage. It’s been a lot of chaos and I’ve been learning to just embrace it and see it as fertilizer for the garden. 

One teacher of mine says it’s part of the mass awakening we are going through on planet Earth. Empaths and awoke folks understand this is necessary for our healing and return to love. It seems like everything is being constantly stirred, and turned on its head. Nothing stays still for long and I can hear my guides telling me to loosen my grip around perfection and control.

Upon making such a large purchase, all my OCD rose to the surface as I feared “fucking it up.” I have wondered what in the hell am I doing and questioned if I’m making the “right” choice. Then I would hear, “well, it’s not certain this is the ‘right’ choice, but it’s a choice.” You said you didn’t want to live under other people’s will and control anymore and you wanted to make your own living choices, right? Well here it is. I was reminded to let go of right/wrong conditioning, and I kept hearing to just make one. To choose fully and not look back. This was a super scary initiation for me, I’ve never put down roots because I fear commitment – I always make sure I have a way out!

This strategy felt expired though so I continued to “keep going” and so in blind faith, kept at the grueling process of connecting my free-Spirited-gypsy-soul to the physical plane. What I’ve gotten from this is the awareness of how many lifetimes I’ve been a runner. I’ve ran and fled from pillaged and burning villages, battles between regions in Egypt and ancient Greece. I saw a past life of my gypsy heart nomading around South America, using my body as a resource to live….I recall times living as a secret bodhisattva in Tibet, having to pray for peace underground as dictating rulers only gave allowance for one approved religion. Remembrance of all of these lives come in waves as I tune into the topic. Spirit showing me how conditioned my nervous system is to flee out of survival.

I’ve literally been a runner in this life as well, running on sports teams and in races from middle school to my late 20’s. Dropping the activity for about 8 years as I got tired of it, and picking it back up recently. Haha, I’m seeing that this was to create balance. If I can no longer run away from my location and the issues connected to it, I’m going to give myself an outlet to run-out my issues. Different use of the same tool. The first had an intention to “run-away” from the pain, the second’s intention was a way to “run-through” it and let it “run-through” my body. Everything is symbolic and has a Spiritual purpose. 

After living the last 2 decades in apt’s and giving my money to others to live, I have claimed my place on this Earth and am investing in a space that will give back to me. This feels like a really big deal. For as much as I want to be free, I also have a need for autonomy and choice. My Spirit is growing and has a need to not only  home and nurture myself, but to also provide a space to nurture community growth and healing. To not just live on this Earth and take, but to be on this Earth and give. 

When we are rooted, that’s when we can really grow. A redwood can only grow so tall because its roots are long and thick and deep. The more we plant down into the Earth and ourselves, the higher we can rise up to the light of consciousness and love. I must root down deep, because I am here to grow real big and support others in doing the same.

Dear Beloveds,

I did a meditation this morning on expanding my happiness and really tuned into all the joy I have in my life. Throughout the time sitting I incrementally increased the amount of joy I allowed myself to experience and saw that, “wow, there’s a lot here.” That I have a beautiful life and all I wanted to then do was share it. I saw myself gifting my love and gratitude to friends, clients, strangers, it was wonderful. It was a good reminder of what we focus on, grows. As I left my seat I felt super chipper, energetic, and fulfilled — sans my morning cup of joe 🙂 

In the healing work I do for others, the majority of my time is focused on people’s pain, blocks, judgements and the guilt/shame cycle. And I love it. I love being a mirror of empathy, acceptance and love. It meets my needs for contributing to life and fulfillment. For humanity as it is, and beauty and relief in the absolute terror. I also notice I can easily get stuck there myself. Always striving to get myself and others to the next tier of healing and evolution so I / we can be happy and free. 

This pushing and striving is not nearly as imprisoning as it used to be. I can definitely pick things up and put em down with much more ease; and, I’m present to the fighter/warrior wombyn inside of me who isn’t the greatest at tapping into the beauty and joy available in each and every moment. That everything is perfect as it is right now in it’s God-given nature, and to enjoy “the dash.”

I recently heard a poem about a man who was looking at a tombstone that listed the date of a person’s birth, then a dash, and then the date of his death. The poem asked how well the dead person had lived “his dash.” Our bodies all have a beginning and an end. The challenge is to enjoy the middle. Our souls chose to incarnate to experience all of the love, joy, peace, and beauty available on this 3-dimensional plane within the pain, sorrow, and sadness. To the ego they seem as if they are the opposite. To the soul, they are one in the same, found within a web of connection to each other. 

When we consciously live our lives in the awareness that there is no such thing as right or wrong. Good and bad do not exist. That there is oneness within acceptance of our light and shadows. That our feelings and needs matter, and that they are creating and contributing to our lives; we become true alchemists of our Earthly path and Spiritual transcendence naturally occurs.

Be aware of how you are living your dash today.

In Deep Devotion to the Spirit Path,
Lisa

Dear Beloveds,

On holidays like Memorial Day and 4th of July, I often think of how we celebrate our Independence, those who fought for our Independence, and also what it takes to be Independent. In order to be Independent, we must overcome the Shadow of Co-Dependence and raise our state of consciousness. To be Independent means to rely only upon yourself, whereas to be Co-Dependent means to rely on outside agencies. 

As primitives we relied on outside agencies such as God/s and Goddesses to state our fate, as we did not have the technology and modernization to keep us safe from dangerous natural threats. Because of this we developed a need for an outside authority and thus, created a Co-Dependent relationship with an outside God. Not realizing that God is located within our own hearts and is us. We come from this Divine source, we are a continuous mutation of it. 

The 19th Gene Key by Richard Rudd states that, “As long as man believes in a God outside himself, the frequency of our planet will remain at the level of the 19th Shadow of Co-Dependence.”

I believe at least a part of what he is saying here is that until we begin treating ourselves, each other, and the Earth with love, kindness, and respect, we will not evolve out of the frequencies of guilt, shame, and suffering, which the Shadow of Co-Dependence emits. 

It is not just enough to become Independent on the Spiritual path, as the ego still tends to get pulled into isolating itself to show how strong it is, loudly proclaiming it has no need for help or support. Or it will get stuck in clinginess or neediness in Co-Dependence, projecting its need to feel needed. True transcendence of this Shadow (Co-Dependence) and Light (Independence) is Interdependence.

Let’s first break down Transcendence: It’s moving through all realms to make Whole. Moving through the Shadow and the Light, including and accepting all feeling states, integrating both, to evolve into a new, higher frequency state. In this process, the Shadow is needed as a contrast to the Light in order to recognize itself. It is a necessary part that contributes to Enlightenment. 

To process the Shadow of Co-Dependence means to trust ourselves to care for ourselves, trust others to do the same, allow Spirit to take the wheel in times of uncertainty, and to hold the parts of ourselves that fear abandonment firmly. Often those with large abandonment wounds will become clingy in Co-Dependence as they truly believe they can’t make it on their own. Then to not get stuck in the Light of Independence we must realize that we are not separate from each other or the Earth, and to sacrifice our ego identities that feel safe in over-isolation.

To reach Interdependence, we must give up our hard-earned Independence that names us separate from each other and the Earth, and trust in totality itself. This means to give up all ego identities and our sense of individuality for a higher vision of our own Divinity. The true state of Interdependence is about entering into a state of union with all beings in the cosmos, AKA: state of love and harmony.

To truly transcend human suffering we must recognize ourselves as one with all. Including the Earth and all its inhabitants. We aren’t free until all beings are free. 

I ode a Memorial to all those who have sacrificed their egos for the Interdependence of all.

Dear Beloveds,

I feel as though all I’ve been writing and talking about of late, is Surrender. So much so that I couldn’t bring myself to write my March newsletter because I didn’t want to bore you all again with my ongoing diatribe of the topic. Lol. Not to mention I’ve been introverting and hermitting hard.

But here I am again. It became clear to me that is what is here to write about, and that most of us need a lot of practice in Surrender, because everything in our DNA tells us to go against it. 

My entire 2022, in fact, last 10 months, have been massive and milestone-like lessons in Surrender. Surrender of career, relationships, home, identity, all of it. My entire life has been on the chopping block, and my grief and heartbreak of so much loss (my ego’s interpretation) has held me in chains, resisting the need to let go.

Don’t get me wrong, we cannot bypass the feelings of grief and heartbreak, those need to be felt and fully expressed and loved on, and then we need to let them go and move on. I’ve been getting a lot of great opportunities to practice letting go.

The thing with this process is that it often takes time to process the heavy feelings before we actually feel like we can surrender. There’s typically an internal struggle as our ego hangs on to things being a certain way. After rolling around in that chaos awhile, we typically tire, and then finally, without having energy to do much else, let go and surrender. Then more waves of emotion typically come on, requiring us to surrender more deeply into feeling our feelings. One minute we’re okay, the next minute we’re sore and hurting and back in the turmoil. Depending how big the original blow was, we may fight some more, get into the old habit of conflict, remember how painful it is to hold on, exhaust from the fight again, surrender again, get wrapped up in a lot of emotion, process that layer of grief, come out, see that we’re okay, and it clicks that we can trust ourselves to handle painful emotions and that we’ll live through them. 

Trust and Surrender go hand in hand. We must trust in our own essence to take on what God gives us, and even bigger, we must trust that a Higher Power has us and that we’ll be taken care of no matter what is happening. Most of us do not trust that we’re taken care of by the Universe. Many people say they do and feel they do when times are good and the energy is high vibe’in. But once Spirit throws us a challenge (an opportunity to practice love) most fall into scare-city and lack consciousness. And to be fair, this is hard not to do. We’re not taught how to deal with our feelings and we’re sure as Heaven not taught how to not fight. Learning to trust in God is not just a one time or one tier thing. It is an every day thing that is attained in tiers of experience and integrated Spiritual wisdom. 

To Surrender, somewhere within us, we must trust that we’ll be okay and that Spirit has our back. To Trust we must know that we aren’t in control of this Life game anyways and that the path of least resistance is to let go and flow. 

Practicing Surrender can be applied in all of life’s daily activities and happenings. When someone wants to cut in front of you in traffic. When your spouse leaves you no hot water for your shower. When the waiter brings you the wrong order. When a relationship fades and takes a turn. When you get de-promoted from your job. When catch covid, etc. What I’ve been learning from so much “loss” is that the rejection my ego has been perceiving is really just redirection and re-configuration. Redirecting me to other people, places and opportunities, and reconfiguration of my values, commitments and relationships. 

Another requirement of the Trust and Surrender process is Patience. We must not rush our Spiritual evolution. Meaning, we must bathe in all the emotions that an experience brings up before it is integrated and we are ready to move on to the next step. When we are patient with our painful experiences, Spirit will guide us through the healing process and eventually create a clearing. When we reach the clearing, the energies start to reorganize and harmonize themselves and we begin to feel wiser, more at peace, and clear to move forward. 

Before reaching the clearing it is common to feel bored and impatient and asking what’s next. Often wondering, “is it always going to be this way?” We’ll think we’ve reached a plateau and that we’re done. The energy is never going to change and we may feel stuck. These are all normal feelings. This is the void and you can often feel numb and distant. Being in the void is likened to moving through a dark tunnel or the birth canal. You are literally going through a process of Spiritual rebirth. I had been in the void for many months and I’ll tell you the energies of hiding, playing small, cocooning, fear, nervousness, anxiety, withdrawn, disassociated, and needing lots of rest, relaxation, lots of alone and quiet time and solitude had all been very present in my field. But Spirit kept telling me, “yes this is what’s needed in order to come back out.” I would check in daily to see if it was time to “come out yet” and for a long and grueling time she would tell me no, not yet.

As much as I feared that my wild, courageous, brave and creative Spirit was gone, I had to learn to Trust that I was being taken care of and Surrender to where she was taking me next. The butterfly always emerges from the cocoon.

February Newsletter

Dear Beloveds,

There is so much power in waiting when being advised to wait, and doing nothing when being shown no clear answers or directions. I’m loving the snow storm we are having today in Kansas City. It forces nature and us to be still. I’m growing quite found of this stillness, there’s something eerily quiet and special about it. Like God reigns down and says, “stop, be at peace.” Like a white blanket comes down over the land and tucks us into ourselves. 

I’ve had a lot of opportunities to practice listening to this direction by Spirit over the last year. There was this counter energy happening that was difficult to navigate. Business was picking up, and Spirit was saying equally, to slow down and that I must create space to be still and listen.

As I’ve learned more about Human Design (HD), being a Manifesting Generator with an open Crown, Third Eye and Root energy center, I have a lot of energy to keep going and I am very in tune to the needs and pressures of others and the world. Looking back I see that my service is given if I am invited, and I was being invited a lot. I’m one of those who struggles to say no to things, even if I don’t really want too. I guess it’s part of my Christian, farm-life, midwest upbringing. You help each other out, period.

Aside from feeling this intense, external pressure that just comes in hastily from the outside world without pause or hesitancy, and as uncomfortable as that is, it also forces me into creation, direction and purpose, and drives my soul forward in carrying it’s mission of contributing to life. This is a beautiful thing, a thing I often wish to not impose upon or encumber with my Earthly needs, but it doesn’t work without boundaries. 

Understanding, practicing and instilling boundaries is an ongoing thing for me as a (insert all of my Astrology, HD, Gene Keys, Ancestry, Personality Test, etc.) I once had someone say to me that a boundary has been crossed if it’s affecting my inner peace. Wow, this was quite the concept to me. I had a right to inner peace?? Yes! Exclaimed my Higher Self, you have a right to living in peace too!

I’ve been working this line of energy, strengthening the boundary of peace within me. The more I look for it, the more I see where I am in relation to it and I can now feel in my mind and body when it’s been crossed. I didn’t know that racing, looping thoughts was a signal that my inner peace boundary had been crossed — and this was typically, most likely by myself. No one can cross a boundary that we haven’t already done so to ourselves. If we leave the door to the house open, the neighborhood cats are going to come in. When I look for how and where I crossed my own boundary, I also feel a surge of power as I own my actions and see where I missed my own network of signals, telling me, “hey, too far, you’ve gone too far.” 

What’s really wonderful too is that I’m learning that this whole practice can be done with a lot of ease, Grace, and stillness. I’m learning that I no longer need to punish and torture myself over these deeply ingrained behaviors that I have little control over. (Remember that something like 95% of our actions are sub-conscious and only like 5% are conscious?! So how about we give ourselves a break?? I’m saying this to myself too 🙂 And therein lies a big part of the answer —— Releasing trying to control a behavior and shifting into, “how can I bend, blend, and shape-to, and move with this behavior” ? What does this deeply ingrained behavior need? How can I support it? 

Trusting that I am taken care of by a Higher Power & Order is often step 1
That allows me to surrender and flow is often step 2
A new energy pattern often emerges to support the bending and moving with and results as step 3
Step 4 appears as practicing this new pattern given by Source as opportunities of contrast in my life
Step 5 is Integration = All parts coming together as a Whole

Blessed Snow Day to you Earth Angels! Be Still and Know…… 🙂
