Raven's World-148

Took some time off for the holidays to focus inward and spend time with family. A great way to release all that does not need to be carried forward into 2012. 2012 is sure to be a pivotal year and as the animals remind us below, it is whatever we make of it!!! Here's Raven's first message on behalf of the Animal Kingdom for 2012!!!:

"Faith moves mountains and creates worlds. We (your animal friends, helpers and companions) see many of you 'losing faith' and 'giving up hope'. Your future is as bright as you can imagine it into being! The point of creation is now, this very moment! The choice has always been yours. You really are very powerful for you are the divine light of creation in body. So we ask you, "How do you see your future?" And so it is."

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."
