We are pure light, and I'm excited to share what I discovered as I was sitting in my hot tub. Please forgive me as I express a "gazillion" times during the video that this is "who we truly are" in our light formlessness. I was in awe of the message I was receiving that this is me and this is you, and we are one.

As you watch the light dance, and turn into various wave forms, keep in mind that you're looking at a mirror. This essence, this light, is the true reflection of your source. You and your source are one.

As the author in Sunlight on Water suggests, "We are changing from a will-driven muscle to a substance-embodied wave. It is a movement from stamina, drive, practicing, habituation and training to receiving, unfolding, unifying and to manifestation through consciousness." We are that substance, and riding the wave with it will ensure its flowing nature of oneness.

Everything is fluid and balanced, and as we put our intention on what we desire, our pure light requires no physical energy. We are that which we desire. All of our circuits are working in harmony and this formlessness is all that is needed in the creation of the whole.

As we are light, and everyone and everything is light, there is nothing that we need from anyone or anything. If we're "thinking" that we need something, it's an awareness that suggests we're not aware of our light in this moment. Simply refresh your awareness and stand in this knowing that the light is all there is.

Receiving and giving are cycles of truth, and when we allow ourselves to receive, we actually set up a dynamic vibration for our desires to be in resonance. We've heard of a model that you must give in order to receive. With this said, I'm actually hearing that a new model is emerging, and creating space for receiving enhances the cycle of truth.

When you allow yourself time in meditation to receive the essence of who you really are, you then automatically give as it completes the cycle. This flowing essence is filled within, and then flows out as the continuous flowing message of truth. I receive truth, I give truth. These wonderful messages that we receive from the beings all around us are intended to be given to others for them to receive. In this way, we keep the cycle intact.

Interesting to note that people who channel set aside a huge amount of time to receive the energy as it feels so good. Thus, you know that if they didn't, they wouldn't be able to hold the energy that wants to be known.

It's like you're hooking yourself up so to speak to an IV of truth, and truth naturally has to flow through you, and then from you. Thus, this cycle of truth, this light of who you truly are, keeps receiving and giving. And in this flow, you naturally give from where you started from as the receiver of essence from many eons ago. If you were to look at it from a special camera, you wouldn't be able to distinguish receiving from giving as there really is no starting point and no ending point.

When you're hooked up to your IV of truth, you may want to incorporate music. Just choose music that resonates with you, with your essence.

You may be served by setting aside time each day to "hook 'em up." Then your truth gets spoken on a regular basis as when you engage in any conversation, you are communicating from the place from which you received. Just make sure you put your "receiving room" sign on the door so that the "distractions" won't interrupt your IV solution .

The awakening process is beautiful, and brings you to such great expansion. As I've been creating these enery vortexes and being one with things, I've created this concept of no time.

Recently, I was painting my door and heard such profound messages, "There is no beginning and no end so just become one." Thus, when I heard this message, I envisioned this web of creation in that there were little streams of me going out to the Universe and connecting to everything…much like a spider's web. You couldn't tell where the beginning was nor the ending as they linked to every possibility that exists. In addition, I also set an intention and said, "I intend to unify with your essence. This is my purpose. This is what I want to do."

I could feel the difference in me when I did this set up as the brush took on a life of its own. I wasn't worried about how much time I allowed for the door painting…time didn't even enter the picture. I think of the times when I used to be such a list creator and could't wait to cross off the list that which I had completed. This was my ego days when crossing off the list was the entire purpose. Thus, you see I was never one with anything except drawing a line through that project. All I could think about was, "I can't wait to be done so I can move on to the next project." Yikes!

You know, when we set an intention, the whole Universe conspires on our behalf. An intention is an agreement that is created and all focus goes to that intention. The horns have been sounded and everything comes to our aid. Now, when we waver from that intention, which I still do, the Universe will come back with our contract and ask, "Did you want to create a new agreement or are we complete with the original agreement?" This intention makes it so that we are one with what we intended. When we're one, then our physical reality will conform to that which we intend.

It seems so easy until a date or time comes into focus, and then the waffling begins. Reminding ourselves that there is no time will help us stay one with our intention.

We contribute to the whole of creation as the co-creator that we are. And when you can think of these little streams (web of creation) going out to join other little streams, then it makes it so important to give our intention so that we receive our intention. It's the beauty of giving and receiving as one.

Just remember to set your intention and then be that intention by saying, "I intend to unify with the essence of you. This is my purpose. This is what I want to do."

We're expanding light into light so when we change what we're doing, it's an opportunity to set the same intention with whatever we're doing. I set my intention when I began (so to speak) this video and this blog. Becoming one with what we're doing is our contribution to the whole, and our vibration is resonating across the oceans .

What an interesting way to view us in this physical realm: to serve as a bridge, a conduit, for the communication that comes through us to be delivered to humanity. We're like a UPS delivery person .

In the video are techniques to use to help stay grounded so to speak. When you think about it, it's the only time we welcome being grounded . When we were kids, being grounded meant a disciplinary action.

The more that we can stay grounded so that the messages flowing through us are received, the more that our soul lines up with our purpose. In this way, things flow easily and effortlessly. We are constantly receiving messages from the greatest telecommunication system in the world. I mean our soul doesn't need towers or satellites; it uses our physical body, our third dimensional realm in order to communicate the message. We are it!

Thus, we access the messages from the higher dimensions through many techniques such as meditation, chakras, breath, etc. And then we deliver the message that is received.

Practice utilizing the techniques, and it does take practice as we're so used to acting from our third dimension, our ego/personality. In this way, we learn that our third dimension is really the bridge, the connector, for information to flow through.

We know what it feels like to come from our heart as the heart serves as the pulse of the Universe. Hopefully, the 12 breath heart meditation breathing exercises I mention in the video will help you come from your heart.

And remember, being grounded is a good thing .

Well, I don't know about you, but I've been experiencing some amazing waves of awareness. You see, I have made a commitment to know my soul so I'm led by it, and hear its messages and my life becomes one of ease. With this said, I recently had a circuitry alignment and in this session, Gayatri, the facilitator, accesses the Akashic Records in order to allow my soul blueprints to come forth and align in my body. Our bodies haven't experienced our soul blueprints in this dimension, and thus, it's helping integration on all levels. This was two weeks ago, and I've been fully engaged in the follow-up practice so I keep grounding in the experience. Like I said, I'm fully committed. My soul is eternal, this physical presence is temporary. Thus, it makes sense to focus on the eternal side of things for me.

When we embark on a journey of awakening and getting to know our true identity, it is done in baby steps. Many things we are learning, and although we would like to fast forward and just be done with the lessons already, our learning is designed to be cherished in steps.

You know, when a baby is first learning to walk, he or she does so with the intent of "getting" it. For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to refer to the baby as she. She starts out crawling and then begins to take a few steps. She holds on to things until she feels comfortable without support. She may even fall down and cry out of frustration. It doesn't matter how long it takes, she intuitively knows she will walk on her own despite upsets along the way.

As parents, we don't yell at her. We encourage, we clap, we embrace the entire experience for all it's intended. We know we are to do this, and we don't question it. My daughter was a great teacher for me as she didn't walk until 17 months. Having said this, I thought she was "supposed" to walk at 12 months, and became a little frustrated when she took longer. I mean isn't 12 months the measuring stick we use? My daughter was, and still continues to be, my greatest teacher. How many times have I tried to rush the experience because of my expectations, which were ego related?

If we just translate this wisdom of baby steps to our own walk with our soul, it would be very advantageous. It takes tremendous courage to walk and be led by our soul. It's not something that has been taught. Having said this, Dr. Sha, who has written several books on the soul, discusses that in 2003 it became the Era of the Soul, and that an opening occurred for us to have soul over matter vs. mind over matter. The opening is that many people have come so that we may learn how to do this.

It takes commitment, it takes patience, it takes practice. The soul communication is very subtle, and communicates from the heart. If you have decided that this is something which is important to you, then open up into baby steps. The wisdom is being revealed. Just take heart, and know that appreciating your every step is contributing to your soul and all the beings of light. They extend gratitude to you. You can have the concept of light, but as you keep practicing and affirming the light, you begin to experience light….very beautiful!

Just know there is nothing more important than knowing why we're here. The only way we're going to know this is to communicate with our soul at every step of the way. Be easy about it and have fun.

When we glean the lessons, the messages, in our lives, the AHA's just can't compete with anything else. This hidden treasure is exactly what we are to find as we made a decision to incarnate in this earth experience right at this time.

A book, Courageous Souls by Robert Schwartz, you may find useful on your awakening journey. In this book, Robert has discussions with souls through mediums and channels. In the conversation, it is uncovered why the soul chose specific painful experiences. It is because the soul wanted to learn self-love, self-acceptance, patience, compassion. I can certainly attest to my painful experiences that unfolded as I learned so much through the experience that I wouldn't have otherwise known.

Thus, your life may not be what you thought. It's simplicity at its finest: step-by-step system to just embody self-love and self-acceptance in each moment. Having said this, the challenges that bring up fear and other stuff, are intended as a written script to be played out by all actors and situations to teach us exactly what we wanted to learn.

Now, we may not recall this agreement that was created prior to our incarnation, and the only way we can "remember" the agreement is to go through the experience, and decide to learn from it. And it doesn't matter if we learn it in this physical incarnation; the duration of time doesn't matter. We are supported no matter what. Thus, time has no meaning in and of itself…ever.

So if you've had many challenges throughout your physical life experience, and the feeling has been intense, it's exactly what you wanted. You may have had many incarnations with the same life them, and that's why the feeling is so great.

When you can look at your challenges from another perspective in that your pre-birth planning is being played out, then you may take comfort in knowing your circumstances were Divinely designed. And the support through all of this is loving, no matter how painful it feels. All of the people came together to express unconditional love so that you may learn your lessons.

This is why the title Courageous Souls makes perfect sense. We are courageous to decide to incarnate right now to balance the planet with love. I'm so grateful that you are on this journey with me, and I applaud your courage .

WOW! I really like this word because I've created a new acronym for it and it means Wonder of Within. There can be no greater WOW in the world as when we've uncovered the AHA's in our lives. As painful as they are, as these AHA's come through many avenues, they are where the hidden messages lie, and where the treasure exists.

According to Pema Chodron, nothing ever goes away until it has taugh us what we need to know. Thus, when we look at this, we can "think" a thing is resolved when something materializes that is different. Yet, the Universe sets up the classroom for our learning, and when we have learned the lesson and understood the deeper message, then the materialization of a something new will be different.

When I've looked at my own life, and various stages of learning, I just got out of something temporarily. Then the message showed up again in a different form. And this gets a little exhausting….yikes!

It takes courage to be with everything in every moment uncovering the message from the symbol. For example, I'm gleaning the messages from the entire animal kingdom. They all have messages for us, and it's for our greater good to slow down and ask what message they have for us. As I've been doing it, it's been really fun. From blue jays to squirrels to frogs, they have a message. The Universe is inside us and it makes sense that everything we SEE out there is set up for us by delivering communication in various forms.

Be where you are right now, and just be with whatever you're feeling. And understand that the hidden message will be revealed, and be known.

When fear arises, press the pause button and be curious. What is presenting itself as fear is coming from the internal. Thus, it can only be resolved on the internal. There is nothing to do, only that which to know.

Enjoy your classroom and make it a fun adventure. Looking for the buried treasure can be really fun, and it's only found in the deep end .

What an interesting title, right? It stems (no pun intended) from a neighbor's flower garden, and in that flower garden is a sign, "Grow Dammit." And I always laugh when I walk by it, but it brings up some valuable messages.

Recently, my boyfriend bought me three dozen roses for Valentines from Costco. They arrived from Columbia in great condition, and are so beautiful. As I was caring for them changing their water and cutting their stems, I was aware of a deeper message and it has to do with that sign.

I realized that each rose was at its own stage of development, and no rose was further along than the rest. They all were included in the bouquet, and I didn't want to serve as the judge in looking at those roses as to whom is blooming and who isn't. And how was I going to facilitate a faster growth .

This serves as a metaphor for our lives, and one in which I just have to stop and smell the roses . When I have been judgmental and hard on myself, it's because I believe that my growth should be something different. I haven't recognized my own blooming phase, and realize that I'm where I am, and I'm beautiful. These roses were delivered to me with an underlying message, and one that I am fully embracing.

Thus, maybe you can benefit as well. When you hear that internal voice that says, "Grow Dammit," realize that it's your own ego, your own physical mind, that wants you to be somewhere different. Yet, that somewhere different doesn't exist. With this said, you can quiet the mind, and says, "It's okay. I love where I am, and my blooms are beautiful." And then laugh because it feels good.

May you recognize your own growth, your own stage of evolution, and that it's absolutely perfect. By the way, I like you being part of my bouquet.

When we have a clear connection from the Divine, we then move with the opportunities being presented. Guided by our intuition, we allow all the messages to be known.

What happens when we don't have a clear connection?

In this video, I illustrate having you draw a picture in what this connection looks like. It looks like an L-shape coming from the top of the head through the eyes, and then everything we SEE in our reality is being felt from the Divine…no matter what.

When we have judgment, doubt, fear, frustration, etc. we will impede the pure connection. Thus, we won't be able to see the angelic people the Divine lined up for us. We will dismiss them as not important because all of this "stuff" will cause a disruption in the power cord.

Utilizing EFT, laughter, play, Ho'oponopono, dancing, meditation, imagination, forgiveness, love and Reiki, we open up the communication lines so that everything we SEE is a gift from the Divine, and I do mean everything. There is a message in everything, but we will only glean the message when there is a clear connection.

Deepak Chopra explains it this way in his Book of Secrets in an example of downsizing of a company:

"In the operating system of the ego (the thoughts that impede the clear connection) and keeping everything under control, your thinking might look like this:

I could lose the one thing I need to support myself.
Someone else has control over my destiny.
I am faced with something unpredictable and unknown.
I don't deserve to be blind-sided like this.
I could be hurt if things go wrong for me.

Reframing the situation with a new operating system from wholeness and no blips, your thinking might look like this:

My deeper self created this situation.
Whatever happens, there is a reason.
I am surprised, but this change doesn't affect who I am.
My life is unfolding according to what is best and most evolutionary for me.
I can't lose what's real. The externals will fall into place as they need to.
Whatever happens, I can't be hurt.

In the latter operating system, the connection is clear. Your ego and personality, which give you limited awareness of who you are, is put on notice that clinging and grasping must come to an end.

When you can keep that connection open through whatever means, you open up wholeness which brings a seamless and unified world….no matter what you're looking at.

I trust this will help you, and committing yourself to opening up the new operating system of pure loving awareness.

It's so interesting to have the belief that we choose our families. Now, contemplating this, we can really have fun saying, "I really raised my hand for this experience. I really chose this family?" Having a sense of humor can help .

When we take responsibility for everything in our lives, then this invitation fits perfectly. There are lessons we were to learn in that family dynamic, that only that family dynamic could give us. Yes, there were perceived challenges as every family has, despite the outward appearance that the family on the other side of the fence would have created a different experience.

What I'm talking about here is looking at it from a perspective in that what were you to learn from the whole experience so that you could use it in your current now.

In my particular family, my dad was a massuer (massage therapist), and I grew up with this experience getting massages and also seeing people get healed. I was the fifth of sixth children, and this was a perfect fit for me. I was to learn how to be a healer, and learn how to become one with the earth, one with my experiences. Through many hikes with my dad in the Wasatch Mountains looking for Native American arrowheads and various rocks, and swimming in natural hot springs, I gained much useful wisdom to be used in my now experience.

In addition, my dad also worked with a Native American, Sundance, in his practice, who contributed to my experience. Sundance would look in your eyes and give you information based on what he saw. We also were invited to celebrate Native American ceremonies. You can imagine that as a child from age 8-14, I had such gifts being bestowed upon me.

When you look at your own childhood experience, try and look past the misperceptions so you can gain a higher vantage point to see why you raised your hand to participate in your family dynamic. Maybe there is something you are intended to use right now to help others.
