Illuminating the Darkness

Perhaps we are only afraid of the dark because we have forgotten or become somewhat separated from OUR LIGHT!?!

Imagine yourself, walking through a forest during the day. You see and hear birds and little creatures living their lives ... seeking food, sunlight, shelter. Perhaps you feel a kinship or peace within nature and you feel so alive "in nature".

As the sun begins to set, beautiful shafts of light make their way toward you. You notice that golden hue and accept the sun's "goodnight" kiss. Soon the forest cools, and you feel the chill on your skin. Darkness seems to engulf you. 

Rather than connection, you feel alone. You experience a deep sense of separation and powerlessness. FEAR seems to catapult you from peace, redirecting your experience and imagination to the places that make you feel unsafe, vulnerable. 

As I write this message, I am guided to my memory of a scene in John Cameron's animated film AVATAR ~ Jake, trained soldier, is lost in the forest. He's afraid, striking out wildly at any and all noises. [If you have not seen this movie, I encourage you to do so. Beyond its incredible production, the story offers many spiritual messages of expansion, healing, connection!]

Ultimately, he is saved from HIS OWN DISRUPTION of the night-time peace within the forest by the Na'vi princess, Neytiri. As she leads him through the forest, what was dark and scary is now alive and illuminated.

The forest has not changed, but Jake's perception of the forest has expanded. Neytiri feels her connection to the forest, not only during the day but also at night. Her awareness essentially illuminates the darkness for Jake and he sees Truth for perhaps the first time in his life.

Love Lights Darkness ~ Let Your Colors Shine Forth

The forest offers a beautiful analogy or parable for understanding ourSELVES and healing our fears. It's not about pushing the fears down, it's about seeing them, finding the beLIEf at their core, and loving ourSELVES free!

"The wound is where the light enters you" Rumi

When we realize we have the power to illuminate all darkness, we can enjoy whatever life brings to us. The bonus ... life starts bringing us more and more illumined Truth, Love, LIGHT! Awareness = The Power of Choice = The Power to Change <3

We are in an unprecedented time of ... well, TIME! Rather than fear the time on your hands, exploit it. Feel the power within yourself to change not only your present but also your past and future. You are co-creating your life. If you haven't been taking a conscious role in what you're creating, it's never too late to expand your awareness, to see(ze) your newly-discovered choices, and to THRIVE!

Let the holiday lights you see remind you to find those spaces of darkness within your own being and illumine them. Rather than fear them, avoid them, neglect them, LOVE THEM ... return unto SELF! I am here, ready to help you find your way to more and better!

The Amazing Benefits of Healing Childhood Pain and Trauma

... and Releasing Self-Limiting BeLIEfs!

Do you …

• have a conscious knowledge and bad memories of childhood trauma, neglect, abuse, shaming, or abandonment?
• feel like SOMETHING's MISSING in your life, but “on paper” you’ve got it all?
• feel like you SHOULD be happier? You’d like to be happy but cannot easily laugh, feel awe/joy/ inner peace?
• feel stalled or stuck in some way? You cannot pinpoint what your next move should be or have TROUBLE MAKING DECISIONS?
• find yourself SELF-SABOTAGING RELATIONSHIPS? You shut down when things get “too real”?
• feel really angry much of the time? Feel like you cannot love yourself?
  
• observe that your EMOTIONS ARE sometimes really EXTREME? Someone says or does something most people would consider minor, yet you respond with or feel extreme rage, sadness, frustration, rejection, loneliness, (fill in an emotion of upset)?
• “suddenly” find yourself sick or have developed a MAJOR DISEASE, despite eating well and taking care of yourself? Perhaps you even developed an illness in your teens or earlier?

Being traumatized in your childhood or not being nurtured in a way you needed/craved may be at the core of each of these circumstances and conditions. Understanding the role of the inner-child can help us to both identify with and step-up to a greater version of self.

7 Tips for Building a Strong Marriage

While it’s an accomplishment to achieve a long marriage, there are more measures of success than years alone. My husband, Joe, and I have been married for 40 years, 39 of those years blissfully. Statistics show that many marriages end in the early years, and we most certainly could have been among those as I nearly self-sabotaged this relationship in our fifth year of marriage (more on that later).

Perhaps you’ve heard that 50% of all marriages end in divorce? This statistic was true in 1980 (the year we married) but, since that time, the divorce rate has been on the decline. You’ll find many updated statistics online (interestingly they are largely served up by divorce attorneys). Philip N. Cohen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland College Park, notes that from 2008 to 2018 divorce rates among women fell by 18%. (1)

Our focus and obsession with divorce can ultimately be a large part of the problem. It was for me. READ MORE

Chaos Creates Expansion and Room for Reorganization and Balance

There is expansion, symmetry, balance, love, light even amid what some might call "chaos" or "a crisis". There is no need to "rush in to fix things"! Our first reaction will likely not come from a place of love; we may respond with fear and finger pointing.

But we are each/all co-creating what we see, what we experience, what we feel! We cannot change that creation until we see all of its sides in 3D. We have to understand that what benefits only a few, likely hurts many. If, individually, we want a world that is better for us, we have to create a world that is better for all.

Love thy neighbor as you love thyself because when we hurt another, we ultimately hurt ourselves, We may not see that in this moment, but it will follow us through all time/space ... in Time all Truths will be Known.

Yes, things that have been hidden from view (and/or that we have consciously and unconsciously avoided seeing) are coming to our attention. We must look, not with scorn or finger-pointing, but with compassion for ourselves and "the other". We cannot fear or hate the darkness because seeing the darkness actually allows for amplification of the Light.

Nothing is ever absolute, even though our minds want to label things/people good/bad, right/wrong, etc.

As a young artist I was taught we cannot add a highlight to a painting without some surrounding darkness. That brilliant light just doesn't show up without our awareness of the darkness!

We cannot uplift/heal what we avoid, blame on others, cannot or do not see. We can amplify the light as we face the darkness with love and compassion. Seeing it is part of our evolution toward balance, love, light for all. This is an abundant world, and there is more than enough for everyone! "In God We Trust" was added to our money as a reminder of what is sacred!

Have faith, anchor yourself in love and compassion, and when you get off course, just bring the compass back to center. Be the love and compassion you want to see, first within your own sphere. Suddenly, you get to live amid love and compassion.

Let your light shine forth out into the world, owning your darkness. Avoiding it or hating it just creates more darkness. Flood it with light, love, forgiveness, peace. This is especially true when you see it in others because you'll likely see it in them before you see it in yourSELF.

All is Well and happening for The Highest Good, which always includes each of us individually. 💗 Awareness = The Power of Choice = The Power to Change!

I love you, Kristi

GO! Fly Free! Life IS Going According To Plan ...

Imagine one thing ... just one moment you've felt REJECTION or LOSS ~ Open your seeing of that moment as your life path's auto correct, meant not to root you, but to shift you ... GO! Fly free! Love, Kristi

There are many times in our lives when situations seem to change beyond our control or even beyond our worst imagining. We may experience this as (1) the loss of a friend, family member, lover, (2) being passed over for a promotion, living arrangement, deeper relationship, (3) having a physical accident and injury, or (4) getting very ill mentally or physically.

Human nature and prevailing Western culture whines "why did this happened TO ME?" Yet our expanded awareness shows us that "this may actually be happening FOR ME!" How can loss and rejection of those we love, jobs that support us, living arrangements that seem to be working be happening FOR YOU, you may ask?

Perhaps rather than being comfortable and safe, or perhaps because of that, these placid life circumstances may not actually be serving your strengths, your higher quest for soul growth, your ability to touch others' lives, your evolution toward unconditional love!

Life Evolving Beyond Fear ~ Return to Center

I am offering 1/2 hr phone sessions for Emotional Calming/Light/Love                            207-216-0473

"Life Evolving Beyond Fear" illustrates our forward-upward
movement, in unity. Rather than being consumed by fear,
we are being offered choices and the power to BE
light, love, trust, compassion, hope
in spite of and above fear!

Hello friends,

I sat down to create an image on 3/10 and "Life Evolving Beyond Fear" emerged. Use it to help identify and release fear and obsolete programming as we ascend toward a new, more global, and empowered consciousness. Other tools and suggestions follow.

As the snake sheds its skin, we can shed what is holding us back
from embodying love, light, compassion, hope, faith, trust!

It is prudent to follow safe hygiene guidelines, but it's best to do so without fear. Fear is an anti-building block within own auto-immune systems, within our relationships and within our world! Rather than lament cancellation of plans, events, even work, take this time for self-reflection, healing, and evolution beyond fear.

Reflect on where you are/have been living, emotionally and vibrationally.

Life's Transitions, Empowering YOU!

Often inner strife is due to reality being far removed from what we wanted to happen or thought would happen ... the friendship you thought would be everlasting, a league of friends you vibe with, the optimal job of your dreams, a living arrangement that seemed like "the perfect fit". Why do we experience endings?

If you're like me, when you have a "good thing" you want it to last. This may rarely happen in the "real world". These transitions make sense when we understand that we EACH are on a journey of growth and expansion. Our evolution may be incompatible with our quest for stability and/or longevity of engagement with a person, place or situation.

We may see transitions as a dead end, when they are actually a type of soul-growth escalator!

Our expectations may be the only thing preventing our seeing potential. Rather than feeling forlorn when a transition arrives, try to move more quickly toward an eager anticipation that more and better are coming!

In any friendship (job, living arrangement), how you show up, your commitment, and your communication are key. But the other person (employer, landlord, lover) and their own vision, comfort, soul journey, expectations are also critical. Their side of the relationship/situation is not in your control, never was, never will be.

Moreover, their actions in ending WHAT IS may be part of a soul-growth journey your Higher Self set up! There are merely actors in your story ..

Things do not happen TO you; they are happening FOR you!

Self-blame and finger-pointing does nothing more than make you more miserable. Take a nice deep breath. Feel the air expand your chest. Imagine your nose is on your chest and breathe for a couple of minutes with your awareness, there in your heart space. Peace is always just a breath away ... not in your head, but in your heart!

Transitions may be fluid for some peeps. Yet, for those who have grown up feeling they're not enough, experiencing abandonment by one or both parents, only receiving love and acknowledgement on a conditional basis, etc., these "break up" events can feel devastating.

Know that you are loved beyond this space and time! You may be shifting timelines to embody a greater version of yourSelf. With trust and an openness to what comes next, we can make room for anticipation, even gratitude!

When we look, in retrospect, on major life events, relationship/job/home transitions, particularly those that were not expected, we can often see how they moved us forward to a stronger version of ourSelves. Yet, some people get stuck in the transition because of deep inner wounds ...
