Raven's World-147

Here's the channeled message from the Animal Kingdom and Spirit for this Wed.'s Raven's World!!! Blessings to all of you!

"Everything is true in the moment you think it. But you have the choice whether to continue that thought. The point of creation [from that thought] is further along so choose well!!"

Vegan Considerations

With all the changes going on energetically (ascension), one aspect you may find shifting is how you eat. The Angels say we are being guided now to eat "lighter". Lighter both in allowing more light to come in through our food (aka...pure, fresh, still with life force energy...) and also lighter as in foods that are not heavy for us. It's best to trust your own guidance as to what is right for you. Everyone is different and has different needs. I hear that there can come a time when all you need to live well is light itself (rather than the food)...but it's for sure I'm not there yet! For myself I was guided to give up animal products. (and gluten, and dairy, and soy, and caffeine, etc.) Even when I argued with the Angels about eating grass fed, organic meat....they still said it wouldn't be right for me because it was about the "light"!!! And plants are "lighter"... I also have quite an affinity for animals and found I could no longer eat them. The animals themselves are hoping to guide us away from our reliance (or as they say addiction) to eating them. They willingly sacrifice themselves for us but really wish they would not have to anymore! (especially in the quantities they do now) You see they do have a choice spiritually. They really want us to see ourselves and them as equal...all part of the same Spirit/one-ness. Again, you must do what is best for you and only your inner guidance knows best. For those of you who are interested in allowing more of your own light to come through and accessing your intuition easier and clearer, a lighter diet can help.

I am seeing many more clients and friends eliminating meat from their diets. I am guided today to share some information about making sure you are still getting a good balance of nutrients when you go vegan/vegetarian. (unless you are at that point where light and energy is enough!!) I speak from my experience and the experiences of my clients. I also speak from the research I've done and through some herbal and nutrient training that I've had. It's always best to check with your own medical practitioner as I am in no way disbursing any medical advice.

Here are some considerations for a meat-less diet. You want to make sure you are eating enough and a variety of plants because different vegetables, fruits, etc. offer different nutrients. You can check out one of those color charts that shows you those details.

You want to think about whether you are getting enough protein. (especially for those like me who cannot tolerate soy....and keep in mind soy is over-processed in our culture and difficult to digest unless it is in its purest (fermented) form...and soy can affect female hormones...) There is significant protein in our plant friends (Braggs raw apple cider vinegar has a book available with a chart of the protein content in fruits and vegetables). Also, of course, beans and certain nuts and grains have protein, too. There are protein powder drinks available if you need to supplement (I like the vegan Lifetime LifeBasics brand).

You may want to think about a good natural multivitamin especially if you are not good at eating a lot of variety. You may want to think about adding calcium (with mag and d, too, perhaps). L-Carnitine is an amino acid that is found mostly in meats so you may want to think of that supplement, too.

The two most important considerations for the non-meat eating person are b12 and iron. Again most b12 sources are meat. And especially if you are a menstruating female, iron may need to be added to your diet.

The Angels really like green things!!! Lots of great nutrients in our greens. They also really like plants from the ocean, too. (for us, that is, they really don't need them!!!)

These are meant to be considerations for you because I have seen clients and friends end up deficient in some of these areas after going meat-free without all the info they might need. Check with your medical care person, do your own research, and tune into to your own body.... and eat for your health!

Let's talk some more on Discovering Nature's Spirit radio show tonight (7-8 pm est) and let's do some Angel readings for callers, too!!!!

Angel lessons

I know I missed last Wed's Raven's World. It wasn't her fault it was mine. Between work and holiday prep I spaced right by it...definitely have it back for you this Wed.!
The other morning I took a bit of a spill. It was a frosty morning and my front outdoor steps appeared dry...but alas it was not the case. And so down I went. It was in fact quite an ugly fall with a chest plant as the grand finale. I was surprisingly unharmed and grateful that I somehow kept my face from hitting the paver/cement block-like step that I landed on. But of course it was not really me who kept my face up, it was those pesky, beautiful Angels who took the opportunity to remind me to keep my "chin up"...ha ha...they think they are funny! And just in case you think that every experience is not an opportunity to learn something they continued to inform me that there is in fact NOTHING to fear EVER. "Even when you fall," they said, "We will catch you."

Raven's World-143

Here's what Raven would like to share today on behalf of our animal friends:

"Whenever your shadow becomes illuminated, you are more fully yourself."

11/11/11 aftermath

In preparation of tonight's Discovering Nature's Spirit radio show, I asked the Angels what they wanted me to share with the audience. The following is what they gave me and I thought I'd share it here, too!! The Angels say that 11/11/11 was a gateway to bringing in more light. It is an energy dynamic (and it is still ongoing) that releases the lower vibrational energies such as fear, hatred, greed, etc. It is a wonderful time to come together with others who are like minded in love, light and peace. Meditation and other calming activities can help this transition and also help you access more clear inner guidance than ever before! We can strengthen the light by joining with others because the numbers raise the vibration of the self, the group and the planet exponentially. It is a time when we are moving toward oneness of all. It truly can be more like heaven on Earth. You will find rapid manifestation of your thoughts and the energy you hold within yourself. "You are true creators", the Angels say. Remember it starts from within you. You can do nothing for others, Earth, or planet without transforming your-self first.



One of the questions I had for the Angels was if we are moving toward heaven here, why are so many still in difficulties. The Angels tell me what we had at this time was in effect was an attunement...a realignment...a shift to allow more light and crystalline self experience. In Reiki an attunement is defined as an energetic initiation. And we know that there can be difficult aspects to the process and this is what may be happening for us now even though we know the shift will lead to more ease, peace and love in the long run (and even now at times...more and more). So you may be experiencing detox symptoms. Some physical symptoms may include random pain in the body, cold/flu symptoms, stomach upsets, headaches, fatigue, sleep disturbances... You may feel a need to withdraw or "go to ground". We know that nurturing the self during these changes is key...sea salt baths, connecting to nature, connecting with supportive community, receiving healing work, etc. Also, you may be finding events, situations and relationships have the appearance of more problems or you may find more chaos reigning. This is also part of the process. The universe will show you the shadow aspects of you that need to be shifted to light. Awareness is key. The universe is simply (easy for them to say) showing you what is still out of balance or needs healing within you. So, don't get caught up in the whirlwind of the issue...instead pull back, ground, center, and go within. Ask the Angels to fill you with light and perhaps understanding. The Angels can help you 'light it up'!

It was so interesting and timely to me that here in CT we had so many power outages for such a long time during the crazy Oct. storm. We got to examine 'being in the dark'...being without 'power'...perhaps there were ways in our lives we still felt this way. Even though we know in Spiritual truth there is nothing to fear and only love is real! The Angels are also asking me to assure you that you are never alone. Ever! They always stand beside you even in the times that feel the darkest to you. One last Angelic suggestion that concerns that beautiful quality--our free will. We humans have free will so we can choose anything. They suggest choosing more thoughts/actions that align you with Source and self. So, for instance, choosing revenge, or an unhealthy addictive response, or a fear-based decision/reaction will pull you away farther from your inner light and farther away from your connection to Source...(it will also perpetuate the difficulties). Instead ground, center, breathe and pull back before taking the next step! More on tonight's show (7-8 pm...archives, too)!

Raven's World-142

Sorry for missing last week's post. With a crazy snow storm and loss of power here, Mother Nature gave me a week off!

At first glance today's message can seem a bit obvious. But the energy behind the message has more to do with the law of attraction. What you hold in your own energy is what is attracted to you from the universe.

"Nurture yourself and you will be nurtured."

Raven's World-141

Today's Raven's World is a part two from last week:

"Food are best pure and unprocessed. Chemicals and processing of the food lower its vibratory capability and make it more difficult for your body to assimulate and gather nutrients to feed your cells."

Plant Spirit Healing

Last night on Discovering Nature's Spirit we featured special guest Keshav Howe discussing Plant Spirit Healing. All that he shared is what our show is all about!!!! It was a powerful show!! I hope you will give a listen on our archives (or from right here on our blog page if it's still timely!!!)

Gluten-Free Recipes | Gluten-Free Goddess

Very grateful for a quiet Sunday at home with a fire going!!! Dinner included an exciting salad and a wonderful mexican pumpkin soup from the gluten-free goddess!


Gluten-Free Recipes Gluten-Free Goddess

Raven's World-140

Here's what Raven would like to share today. I can feel Angels joining in on this message, too!

"When we guide you toward a healthier diet, it is not about depriving you of anything. It is about you enjoying the richness of the life force energy you inhale through your food!!"

Raven's World-139

Here's what Raven and Spirit have to share today. Raven will bring forth messages from the Animal Kingdom and sometimes Spirit joins in!

"There is a oneness that connects all of us and we are all part of all that is...so, we can never be alone."

Raven's World-138

Here's what Raven and Spirit have to share today:

"Seize the day really is good advice for all that matters is this very moment. Think about how you are in this moment. You can always re-align to Source right now!"

Signs and Service

I've been asking for a rainbow. Sometimes I need a bit of reassurance from the Universe. And for the latter part of the summer I've been asking to see a rainbow. So everytime we had rain and breaks of sun I'd search the sky in vain. The lesson is not just the asking but the letting go. We have a tendency (myself included) to want to control the outcome...it's never a good idea 'cause then we limit how our Angelic helpers can, well, help us. The other important ingredient to the manifestation formula is to stay open. The signs we are asking for can come to us in a variety of ways. Perhaps seeing one directly was not how it was supposed to go down. So when hubby came home the other night after visiting with his parents and told me he had a picture for me.......guess what it was!?
Would love to talk more about signs tonight on our show (7-8:00 pm est)!!! And I'm getting an Angelic nudge to talk a bit more about Raven's last message, too! Readings for callers!

Raven's World-137

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"You cannot be in service to others until you are first in service to yourself."

Raven's World-136

Here's what Raven and Spirit have to share today:

"It's not that you are releasing fear; it is that you are remembering that there is no fear. There is none."

Raven's World-135

Here's what Raven and Spirit have to share today:

"Think of your life as a comic strip! And you are its Creator. You can draw and write in EVERYTHING! You are in charge of every aspect. It is your creation...but for the divine essence and purpose of it all. With cartoon images you are sure to keep it light. Remember you can always erase and re-draw, too!"

Control and the future

Two new Angel messages today for you!!! (more tonight on "Discovering Nature's Spirit" radio show 7-8 pm est)

"Control is in the reign of the ego. You "fight" for control; "maintain" control of the situation or the emotions. These are resistant energies. We would say instead, "allow". Allow that which you want. Allow light. Allow love. Allow abundance. Allowing joins you with us. And then the spectrum of energies and opportunities that can come through to you is so much more vast than you could ever "control". And then also you will find the BEST can come through, the very best for you!"

"To follow your bliss you must start with a single step. Your wishes and dreams already exist in the ethers. The trick is pulling them "down" into fruition. So what is the magick? It lies with your beliefs. The energies truly must match, both your highest good and your belief system. In order to be a successful __________, you must believe that you already are. In order to receive that which you are asking for every day you need to challenge yourself more to see the ways in which you are already there. There is no future. There is no creation of the future. There is only now. What is the energy of the projection you are holding in this moment?"

Raven's World-134

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"All of the answers you seek already lie within you. Often you forget to look there!"

A new waterfall

Lots of water now in the river behind The Purple Rose...created a new waterfall over our cement wall! It's like the ocean out there! So very powerful!

Raven's World-133

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"Just shine your light. It's up to others whether they choose to accept or reject the light within themselves."

Raven's World-132

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"Every day is your birthday. Celebrate every day that you are here! Feel that joyful energy of excitement! Make a wish each day and watch it come true!"

Raven's World-131

Today when I found quiet space to hear our Raven's World message it was the Angels who came forward. So, Raven is stepping aside so I can share with you this message from the Angels:

"Call upon us. We are with you always. Then find that space within yourself to allow our connection and guidance to come through strong and true. We are within you already. Re-connect to our channel of love within you."

Exciting channeling

Tonight's Discovering Nature's Spirit radio show is such a treat!!! Rebecca Couch is our guest tonight and she will be sharing a brand new channeled message from the Council of Light for us!!! Her channelings are beautiful and have been featured on Spiritlibrary.com!! (7-8 pm est...or check out the archive if you miss it!)

Raven's World-130

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"There are a myriad of energies to choose from at any given moment. Remember the choice is always yours!"

Little bit of magick...

A dew drop on an indoor plant....can you say--fairies---....?!

Raven's World-129

The message for today's Raven's World feels very Angelic. I'm sure Raven stepped aside a bit so the Angels could come through...it's always exactly as it should be...a perfect blend of light! You'll notice that this message is presented as an affirmation for all of us:

"I love myself too much to allow you to hurt me."

Raven's World-128

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"Love is all around you. Notice it, appreciate it, and let it into your heart. It is the sweet nectar of life. Drink it and en-joy!"

Raven's World-127

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"If you focus on the problem, the solution cannot come."

Raven's World-126

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"It is not your decision that matters. All that matters is your alignment with Source."

Rewind and Upgrade

In preparing for tomorrow evening's Discovering Nature's Spirit radio show (7-8 pm est) I asked the Angels what they wanted me to share. They immediately gave me a picture of rewinding an old cassette tape. (remember those?!) When you rewound them sometimes they would snag, sometimes they would rip, and sometimes the tape would come right out of the plastic container. The Angels told me that that is what many of us our experiencing right now. A rewind! And like the tape it is not always easy. The purpose they tell me is that we are currently "rewinding" our energy so that we can release any energetic "snags" we still have that can trip us up as we move forward on our paths. The snags represent our difficult life experiences from the past that have left marks in our energy fields or still reside in our cell memories. Sometimes we are aware of these marks and sometimes we are completely unaware but because they reside in our energy and our energy shapes our lives they can continue to affect us and block our progress. The Angels are readying us for smooth sailing ahead and we cannot sail so smoothly until our energies our clear. They give this information to us in this way so that we can understand that often the challenges we are currently facing in our lives are to help bring awareness to our old snags!! Once we are aware of what is happening and what may be being triggered, release follows fairly easily. The problem we run into is we get stuck in the snag all over again when we are not aware of the process like many feet of black cassette tape in ribbons all over the floor outside the plastic container! Knowledge is power. Remember to ask the Angels for help in releasing these old patterns, hurts, etc. The Angels can help you smooth out that tape! The whole process is leading us forward to a new energy...an energy that is clear and at a higher frequency...like leaving the cassette tape completely behind after we have rewound it. We can give ourselves a clean slate for a whole new start at the life we have always dreamed of. And what is being offered to us is not even upgrading to a cd; but rather to a whole new wireless system where the quality is pure, vibrant and exciting! As we keep moving forward on our journey to the stars we can bring in more and more light...more of our higher self energy...more of who we truly are! We'll talk more on the show Mon. night!! Readings for callers, too! (718-664-6906)

Raven's World-125

Here's what Raven & Spirit would like to share today:

"Everyone has the same guidance system that you do. Many have just lost their way. You light a path for them by en-light-ening yourself!"

Raven's World-124

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"True power is knowing the sacredness of your own soul."

Raven's World-123

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"As your light outshines the darkness you will feel deeper love."

Thank you!!

Feeling especially grateful for my family, friends and holistic clients. I'm am so blessed!!

Update & Raven's World-122

Just wanted to let everyone know Catriona MacGregor had an emergency come up at the time of our show Monday evening. She will be our guest once again on Monday August 8!

Our Raven's World post today features a special guest, Merlin, my cat you see above. Here's the story...I was sitting on our couch this weekend with Merlin finishing up the book "Partnering with Nature" in preparation of Monday evening's show. For a little guy, Merlin can really spread out over space. Raven wanted to join us on the couch but the way we were positioned there was not enough room. And although she is far bigger than Merlin, she never does anything that would result in squishing him. So she stood in front of the couch and wined a bit and I waited to see what would happen. Sure enough Merlin got up and repositioned himself a bit more on top of my lap so that Raven would have enough room to lie down. And that she did. I said to them that Raven should thank Merlin and then I asked if they do that kind of thing. I heard from both of them, "It's just love."

"Partnering with Nature" author

On this coming Monday evening's Discovering Nature's Spirit we feature Catriona MacGregor author of "Partnering with Nature"!!! It's an amazing book which really captures the essence of our show, too! Coming back to our innate knowing of being connected to nature and all things! Very excited to have her on!! (Monday 6/13 7-8 pm est...archives always available, too)

Ooops...

I was just blogging about being so busy and then I missed offering you all a Raven's World channeled message yesterday. Had some unexpected events come up yesterday before having to head into work at The Purple Rose for the late afternoon and evening hours. Will definitely make it up to you next Wednesday!! Raven always has something to share! Funny on our show Monday night Michael mentioned that this would be a busy time for Gemini's...boy was he ever right! I know time is supposed to be just an illusion, but that illusion is sure speeding up!

Summer Astrology

It has been a very busy Spring for me! Not a lot of time to blog, unfortunately... I've found that I have been drawn to 'weed' my 'garden' and not just the one that finally went in outdoors!! Rather taking stock of all that I spend my energy on and letting go of that which does not feed me. When I do this, I find something else comes in that is much more rewarding. I am also more in the present moment these days. I really have the Lightarian work to thank for that! Through their programs I have been able to find gratitude in everything I do and everything that I am. And not just a surface kind of gratitude but rather a soul-rich deep gratitude and the doors that open from that place are absolutely amazing!!
Tonight I am so honored to welcome back onto "Discovering Nature's Spirit" world renown astrologer and channeler, Michael Jernegan!!! (7-8 pm est, archive available, too) He will be updating the energies and the signs for what to expect as we move from Spring into Summer. I'm sure it will be a heck of a ride!!

Raven's World-121

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"The only true expression from our Creator is Joy. There is a constant stream of joy available to you. We (your animal friends, guides and companions here and from the other side) will help you by purifying your thoughts. We can help you find balance in all that you do and with all that you are. We know that many of you have yet to remember that All is truly well and everything is always divinely, perfectly orchestrated for you."

Raven's World-120

About 4 or 5 days ago Raven popped in with the channeled piece you see below (in the purple). She'll often do that when she knows i'm most open even though her words are not "due" until the following Wed... Then yesterday I received my daily quote from Abraham. This is Abraham as channeled by Ester Hicks (abraham-hicks.com). I've included it below because the synchronicity is so awesomely amazing!!!! Enjoy!

"When you appear stuck, you are not going to figure the way out, you need to feel your way out."

This is the quote from Abraham: "Be easy about this. Be playful about it. Don't work so hard at it. Let your dominant intent to be to feel good, and if you don't feel good, then let your dominant intent be to feel relief. Feel your way through it. If you think your way through it you can get off on all kinds of tangents. If you feel your way through it, you can come quickly to your Core Energy, and when you do that only good can then flow to you."

Raven's World-119

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"There is nothing that cannot be healed with love."

Raven's World-118

Here's today's message from the Animal Kingdom and Spirit through my beautiful Raven!!:

"To protect yourself energetically is to simply remind yourself of your sacredness."

New Channeled Message

I asked for a new channeled message from the Angels for tonight's (7 pm est-- Discovering Nature's Spirit) show. Here's what they had to share:
"Everyone is being called to greater service in the light. It is a time of great change. It is a time for tremendous joy. It will be much easier for you if you go with the flow. Do not be afraid of the changes for they are the call of your Soul. If you take time to listen in the stillness, you will hear this truth. You will see a brighter path lit for you through your own inner knowing. The way through to the other side in the light here on Earth is with love. You must love every piece of you even those you keep hidden from view. Call on us Angels to guide you, too. We are right by your side every step of the way. This is our promise to you. Pour out your worries to us. Lift up your fears. We will help you shine. It is time!"

Mother's Day prayer

I want to take a moment and send a special prayer out to all of you who may be having a hard time with Mother's Day being tomorrow. Sometimes we forget that not everyone has a healthy or even current relationship with their mother for a variety of reasons. And so regardless of your situation tomorrow it's always a good day to do something wonderful for yourself! And if you have cause to celebrate tomorrow, enjoy!

Raven's World-117

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"Both light and dark are magnified at this time. Which aspect do you want to feed? Only light is real."

Raven's World-116

Here's what Raven and Spirit have to share today:

"We (your animal friends and companions) are calling to you to wake up. Listen once again to the language of your soul. It is time to give birth to who you truly are. It is time to finally be all that you have become."

Raven's World-115

Here's what Raven and Spirit would like to share today:

"It is a time of mass awareness, awakening. It is a time of light. Remember to take it a step at a time. Toward who you truly are. You must begin to realize the gifts within you. You must begin to see yourself as the Gift!"

"Our bodies" from the Angels

The Angels want to talk about our bodies: "Your body is a vessel that holds your Spirit here on Earth. Your body is a blessing. It is an honor. It is a miracle. The miracle that is you! Many of you are disconnected from your bodies. From its needs. Your body is the window to your Soul. Your Higher Self. Higher wisdom. When you disconnect from your bodies you disconnect from all that you are. Some disconnect from prior wounding. Some from stress. Some from the busy-ness of life. Some don't even know that they are disconnected. It has become a pattern of survival. Your body is a fountain of wisdom. It's how we talk to you. You cannot stay in your current pattern and hear all that we have to offer you. You must have appreciation for your bodies. Now--right now. Wherever it is and whatever its appearance. Addictions of any kind feed the disconnect. If you heed our call, you will be drawn to 'bleed' off old woundings, patterns and addictions and start fresh. Our channel gets annoyed with us when we seek to help her cleanse her vessel so she can hear us better for all of you, but it is needed. It is the new way of light. You hold old pain in your energy and in your cell memory. You are not meant to keep this any longer. It is time to be free. It is not meant to take years of processing. All you have to do is ask us or be ready and allow it. We are strongly nudging you. Many of you are feeling us. We are becoming hard to ignore. We see what is ahead for you and the greatness of who you are. Mindful and organic eating is a great place to start. We will take it from there. We are always with you. In the Light." If you'd like to hear more about this message, tune into Discovering Nature's Spirit this evening at 7 pm est (or catch the archive!).

skipping a Wed...

I need to skip channeling a message today. Feeling a bit under the weather. It's been an interesting time lately. I went totally vegan (finally) and am now going through a cleanse. (mostly cold-like symptoms) Really makes me wonder what in the world the food we eat really does to our bodies! Catch you here for Raven's World next Wed!!

Raven's World-114

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"It can all be very confusing until you learn to allow the quiet and listen to the gentle voice deep within yourself."

Raven's World-113

Here's what Raven would like to share today on behalf of the Animal Kingdom and Spirit:

"We hear you and your doctors focusing on 'hereditary' conditions. Why would you live someone else's truth when you are free to create your own?"

Tonight's show!

Tonight is going to be an amazing opportunity to hear Rev. Angela Peregoff on Discovering Nature's Spirit. Rev. Peregoff will be helping us all understand the energy shifts, ascension and what it all means. Join us tonight from 7-8 p.m est!!!! Archive available if you miss it!

Raven's World-112

Raven has agreed to step aside today so that I can bring through a message from Gaia for you:

"Mothering energy is not meant to come from you. It is meant to come through you from me."

Raven's World-111

Here's what Raven would like to share today:

"Many of you want to know your future. The truth is that you are your future. It does not come to you from outside of yourself. There is no 'outside' source. It is within you to create."

Guidance for you from Spirit

Here is a channeled message I received for all of us from Spirit today:

"Perhaps you want to think about your family in Japan and send healing energy to them and to the Earth. Yes, family. For we are all one. One people. One relation. No matter where in the world we are. This is an aspect of what is being offered or shown to all of you at this time--one. Do what resonates with you. Whatever that is will be right in your gifting. And if you are unable to do anything that is right, too. True healers do not take on the ills or imbalances of the client. If you do you become unbalanced, too. And then you are not a pure channel for healing energy. The same is true here globally. Do not allow yourself to absorb the fear, pain and suffering. Hold yourself in a vibration of peace and love. This will radiate out and help others much more. It is okay to be okay when others are not. You do much more good by shining your light than by dimming it no matter what the circumstances. Stay connected to Spirit for pure guidance and energy. You Empaths do what is best for you. Turn off the coverage. Just because it is there does not mean you have to watch it. You are aware of what happened. Now connect to Source, shine your light and send what you are guided to send. Trust your own guidance system. And when you have given enough come back to peace and love for yourself in your own life now."

Guides on Earth

Yesterday on Raven's World she reminded us that animals are our guides here on Earth. And what I am hearing from Spirit is that we are now meant to be Spirit Guides to each other here on Earth, too. Many have spoken about the changes coming. (really they have already started). We are being encouraged to allow in more light into our physical bodies. We are ascending to blend with our Spirit bodies. Or, our higher self is descending to join with our physical self. We will be in a space where we are connected to Spirit more than ever before. We will have regular intuitive insights and be able to channel healing energy easily for ourselves and others. Being more light means viewing the world through the eyes of love. Love that does not have conditions and does not include judgments. In order to embrace this new sense of self, we must let go of the old patterns that no longer serve us. We must release the areas within our physical bodies and our energy bodies that are not 'light'. So, we are shifting away from a victim mentality. We are understanding that our own energy, vibration, thoughts and beliefs create our lives. We have control and responsibility for our own creations (good or bad) and so does everyone else. There is a shift away from a co-dependent interaction in our relationships. Each one of us is connected to Source. Each one of us is Source. So each one of us has our own guidance and power over our own creations and connections. We are not responsible for anyone else's happiness, only our own. We are learning to go with the flow. We know that all will be provided for us if we follow our instincts, let go of the struggle and allow Spirit to guide us. We can allow Spirit or life force energy to flow freely through us which creates health and well being. All of this is within our ability and control. Each one of us. So the question I have been hearing from my students and clients and admittedly from myself as well is how do we interact with others now. Many who have been on this path of change and ascension are already seeing things differently. And then we look around us and see many others who are not. We may have people close to us, friends and family members, who are still in the struggle of it all. Those who's lives are being amplified by the drama or traumas to show them where they need to change. So we ask as lightworkers, "what do we do for them"? Or, "how do we help others now?". And the answer that has clearly come from Spirit is that we are meant to be "Spirit Guides" now. We do NOT get personally involved in other people's pain and life lessons to "fix" it for them. NO, NO, No. That is the old co-dependent way. Instead we think about Spirit Guides. What are Spirit Guides? How do they function? Our Spirit Guides on the other side hold us always in the energy of unconditional love. The gently guide us while always respecting our free will. They see the bigger picture because of their being close to Source and so they know what is in our highest good. And they hold the energy of that for us even as we make choices that lead us away from our authentic path. Spirit Guides cannot interfere in our lives unless we ASK for help. So now my beautiful light filled friends, that is how we must be for others. Here on Earth. No matter who it is. Even if it is your sister, or you mother or your son. Encourage them to find their own way and embrace their own Light. Just as you continue to do them same for yourself.

"Miracles are just waiting for you to let them happen."

Just one cup...

Repeatedly the Angels and my body have clearly told me that drinking coffee is not in my best interest (especially with caffeine). But I have to admit to really loving the smell of coffee. And then when winter sets in I have even more of a craving for a mid afternoon cup. So for Christmas this year friends gave us one of those keurig coffee maker deals which gives you one cup at a time. What fun...a new toy! I discovered that newman makes organic, fair trade, gluten free, decaf cups so I said to myself....what would be the harm. And my body gave its usual protest of dehydration and a wee bit more of a lack of energy than usual as I started my new coffee drinking ritual and still I persevered. Just recently I've gone to different stores in search of more coffee 'cups' and discovered a recurrent theme...they are all out of stock of that one coffee selection I want. There were even signs (and a 'sign' from those angels...) that said the store didn't know when it would be back in. That's what I get for not listening in the first place!!!! lol Fine, back to herbal teas!! :)

Today's Raven's World is featuring a guest channeler. Monday evening on Discovering Nature's Spirit radio show our guest was Kim Christensen who is an animal healer and intuitive. She brought through wonderful information about animals and then at the end shared an important message directly from the animals. She gave me permission to share it here with all of you. It's a message that hopefully we will continue to share! Be the voice of the animals! Here it is (with a bit of paraphrasing):

The animals' main concern right now is genetically altered plants, seeds and animals DNA. They are worried that we are changing the vibrational frequency within those plants and animals. Then the animals and us are consuming these items which change all of OUR vibrational frequencies. And changing these frequencies can cause world wide dis-harmony and dis-ease in all living things. The animals do not want us to change the Earth's 'song'. They say that the Earth sings a pure vibrational song. The Earth's song should not be what we think it should be. There's a reason the Earth's song is the way it is. They do not want us to change the 'melody'. Mother Earth can take care of Mother Earth. Let her. Do no get in the way.

"The healthier you are, the healthier we (your animal companions) are."

Awesome show!

Last night's radio show was so amazingly informative. Melissa Watts was my guest. She wrote the book, "Lessons of Many Lives." Not only is the show informative about hypnotherapy and past lives, but she also shares many guided pieces of wisdom about life itself, what's going on with our 2011/2012 shifts, why we may experience 'difficulty' in our lives, and so much more. Check it out on archive www.blogtalkradio.com/discovering-natures-spirit (or click the play button here on my blog if it's still up as the latest episode)!!!!!

"Save me"

So yesterday as I was driving I was feeling a wee bit cranky. And none of the songs on the radio were to my liking. I decided I really wanted to hear "Save me" by Shine Down. As I looked around my car I realized that I had previously taken that cd out and brought it in the house. All I had in the car was the new Shine Down cd that didn't have that song. So then I had to stop for gas and when I got back in the car, guess what was the first song I heard on the radio!!!! You guessed it, "Save me" by Shine down!!!! For those not familiar with the band, that song is not exactly played very often, either. You gotta love those Angels!!!!

Raven's World-106

Here's what Raven would like to share today on behalf of the Animal Kingdom and Spirit:

"Life is one long breath. Like breath life is meant to flow and cycle. There are moments of action and moments of rest. There are moments to be and moments to do. There are moments to give and moments to receive... Many of our human friends just go and go and go. Straight into difficulties and dis-ease. Be, receive, rest...more."

Flow, flexibility and faith

Flow, flexibility and faith are my new 3 favorite words from Spirit. As I watch my own life (and the lives of my clients) spin by, I find being grounded essential. It sometimes feels like a whirlwind. You might even call it chaos at times. So much upheaval. So much change. For everyone. We know in our heart of hearts it's all for the better. But when you are spinning in it it can be hard to gain your footing. And even in the more difficult moments I know everything is really okay. And everything will be okay. And Spirit always reassures this. It comes back to our belief as humans that we must be in control. Which just gets us in trouble and limits our dreams, creations and solutions. Really what we need is to be connected to Spirit and then we need to surrender. The rest will be taken care of once we get out of the way. Mother Nature has been showing this lesson to us here in the NE with tons and tons of snow stuff. Scheduling, work commitments, school functions, and where you thought you were going that day must be released. How can you go with the flow, how can you be more flexible and how is it all leading you back to faith....those are questions you may want to start asking yourself. I know I sure have!

"Spaghetti Squash"

As someone who has grown up on spaghetti and meatballs, I find I need to search for new and exciting ways to have traditional spaghetti now that I don't eat meat. We all know the spaghetti squash trick where you put red sauce on the squash after you use a fork to the squash and it's like spaghetti. Well, I found an alternative. Take regular yellow squash, peel and grate it in a pan. Fry with garlic and olive oil. Then add your red sauce. Cook your spaghetti (I use quinoa because I'm gluten free). Put it all together....it's so good!
