Captured Moments

When a small, still, unhappy aspect of our self surfaces, it can be quite useful to give it some time and  attention.  Just like a misbehaving child, sometimes it just wants/needs to be heard, held or valued for what it has to say.  Sometimes, it can be comforted, soothed or calmed down with simple affection, understanding and love.  Other times, absolutely nothing will quiet it because it is out of balance and refuses to be still.  It can wreak havoc because it has become fitful, tired, ignorned or fed up. When we have an unhappy, dissatisfied, twisted, tainted or sabotaging ego, this ego can act very similar. It can feed us such negative inner verbiage, judgement, criticism that we attach, identify and react to it, as if it is us. Yes, our ego can protect us, too, and help us discern what is not for us but if it has a self-sabotaging agent to it, an element of a negative self-image, it can effectively seize the system into falsehood, convin...

  Human beings have a remarkable way to hide their deepest emotional pain.  We can hide it so well, that we even fool ourselves into believing it is gone.  If we find ourselves in a place of confusion, discontent, depression, poor health or too much stress, anxiety or  tension, it could be a deep emotional release is necessary.  Perhaps, anger towards someone or a group of someones, must also be released.  In that case, do not go to them directly to release it but rather, do it energetically.  In your rich imagination, poof up a red 'rage cage' for your self.  See its shape, size and the space it is in.  When you are ready, open the door, step in and close it.  Feel the safety in there.  Now, bring up any and all rage and vent inside your rage cage.  Stomp around in it, shout, scream, yell and or cry, just get it out, knowing it isn't hurting anyone but instead, you are simply releasing it. Let the memories ...

As we grow, shift and change, it is important to allow our new self images to come to the surface. Our INNER LIGHT shines into our darkness, illuminating what we have pushed down, hidden, denied or even lied about so we can not look it straight in the eye. We tend to avoid such heavy dark energy because it appears so frightening and perhaps, we can't even  imagine it is us, at all.  Closing the curtains on such imagery, feelings or thoughts can make us think it has disappeared from view. Yet, within that trapped darkness, the LIGHT is also shining.  The energy of Yin and Yang tells us that as does Carl Jung. We cannot have dark without the LIGHT or LIGHT without the dark.  We need integration of both for WHOLENESS and to walk in the middle, aware of both. Once our LIGHT has  illuminated something within us to see, notice, work with or adapt to, that is the time to consciously, actively, allow the lighter, brighter, sense of self, up and out.  To unders...

  Being human means  we feel many things and think many things throughout each lifetime.  It is part of how we function.  The issue is we can accrue many negative things that we use to define ourselves that simply aren't true. Maybe we become attached to them, identified through them or react as if it is us but it still isn't true! Perhaps it is from ancestral pain, a parent's unresolved issue, family fears, worries or deep concerns but none of that is who we are.   Our OWN INNER LIGHT can be used as a LIGHT to help us see what is old, stuck and ready to be 'gently and lovingly' released.  And released, at its right and perfect time.  If there is more to learn and access, we may have more loops and hoops to go through but, if it is time, the pockets of old human misery can go, allowing in fresh new changes and fresh new LIGHT. Any part of us that has been encased in darkness, hurt, pain, confusion or anger can be deeply released and...

  The way the 'waves' (our initial parents) wave us in, we learn how to behave in current society.  We are taught many things about manners, how to dress, speak, react and respond and how to take care of our bodies.  We are taught how to keep ourselves safe, protected and how to interact with others.  As we learn and absorb many things, we also learn how to keep things and aspects of ourselves hidden.  Certain body functions, certain terms or phrases that are not acceptable, particular behaviors, in general, that are frowned on.  Our waves or initial caregivers, grandparents, extended family, friends, teachers, neighbors and co-workers can also add commentary about what is and isn't acceptable. Once we have collected all this information to apply out into the world, we have become skilled at what to do and not do in public. And, in that effort to hide certain things not to be aired in public, many secrets, disclosures, stuck old pain and hurts from the past...

After we have set up the communication with our LIGHT and have tested it, we must quietly, truthfully, give our system permission to  receive it.  Allow the old, stuck blockages to relax and let go.  Forgiveness and gratitude are the best approaches to take to allow and invite in the LIGHT to continuously heal what got stuck and must now clear out.  We have amazing ways to protect ourselves from harm and keep out what is not best for us.  We can learn to  discern what continues to serve us either physically, emotionally, mentally, psychologically, spiritually or psychically or maybe even just energetically!  Yet, our human system can then become rigid, tight, closed or defensive in order to never let that harmful person or experience in again to create or generate more conflict, chaos or confusion.  Those defenses can appear to work in the short term, however, they can end up hurting our system unconsciously over time.  Like a closed art...

  As we are born and 'waved' through by our initial caregivers; parents, grandparents, extended family, we develop all our  initial aspects of physical, emotional, mental, psychological, intellectually, psychic and spiritual  aspects.  Much of what we learn is formed around the parents or first caregivers ideas of us and also themselves, based on their experiences.  Roles, gender, early signs of strengths and weaknesses, early signs or signals of talent or innate abilities or understanding and how best they can relate to us as we form. Once we have gone to and through all the ages and stages of our growth and development, what's been required, requested and sustained into adulthood through all needed and necessary education, we begin standing on our own two feet!  We have usually grown effectively and efficiently enough to be functional members of the society and family we have initially grown up in! However, the parental job is long and sometimes...

  When we stuff away our old emotions, as most people are taught to do, we think we have hidden them away for good.  Yet, if and when we are triggered by events or relationships that may have created them before, they can rear their ugly heads.  They can almost appear 'dragon-like' in their bumpy, awkward built up rage.  When we see it this way, that they have literally, 'dragged on' (dragon)!  So, of course they are not happy, respectful or easy to deal with.  Sometimes, at the very end of their tail, a  crystal might just form, holding a truth about why they have appeared. PERHAPS THEY HAVE APPEARED TO BE CLEARED. Stuffing away old feelings and emotions is not a healthy practice.  We have to transform and transmute those negative, harmful, hurtful energies in order to progress. Often they get triggered by false or outgrown circumstances and they have to push up and out in order to become clear. Perhaps we have had to put up with something we did...

When we know something deep inside isn't right for us, something 'pings' us to get our attention. It is our Truth signaling that a falsehood has just landed in our system or energy field or it is time to face what isn't or hasn't been working.  It may feel like a pain, a confusion, a doubt, a question but our Truth does want us to notice.  In fact, 'Falsehoods' are incredibly useful on our way to greater Truth!  When we realize who we aren't, the door can open to who we actually are!  If we've had a job that works until it doesn't, there's an opportunity.  A relationship suddenly dries up, another door could appear.  A frustration with our housing until we've had enough encourages us to walk on!  Often the reason something has begun to not work so well or is ending is because something better is heading our way. Sometimes the 'pings' are positive signals that  something new and growth enhancing has also landed in our system or ene...

  When we work with the energetic Truth, that we are LOVE ITSELF, the opposite force will also come.  This is to, ultimately, balance the energies.  We need to be conscious of both polarities, finding that balance, harmony and peace between them. When we are born, we have a purity about us.  Much like a clean and clear  barrel of fresh, clean water we can drink from.  If we have had or have parents, grandparents or ancestors who have carried 'darker' qualities such as addiction, rage, violence, secrets, mental imbalances, a ruthlessness, say in business, that might act like a dropper full of black poison, slowly dripping into our own water supply, over the years.  Meaning we can unconsciously or subconsciously, pick up this energy, as if it is our own.  We may end up wrestling with it, to clear it, when it isn't even ours. When people are not conscious of their own behaviors and how they effect others, they can 'project their own shadows' on us, t...

When we consider that life is energy, we are energy and what surrounds us is energy, it makes us much more conscious of what our energy is doing, vibrating, observing and absorbing. If you have every been in four airports in a 24 hour time frame, just to walk into your house and feel exhausted, you may have noticed that you may have picked up other people's energy in your energy field.  A hot bath, quiet time with tea, listening to soothing music or a walk in nature might have the effect of calming you and your energy back down.  Another method would be to clear and cleanse your energy field, consciously.  For example, imagine a space in your house has a golden energy shower coming down.  This is a magical shower of golden energy.  You can create it as often as needed. Once you create it, see it, feel it, work with it then step into it.  Imagine it has the power and the intention to clear out any and all energy that isn't yours and doesn't belong to...

  When our human system begins to heal, old used up 'leaves' around us, surrounding us begin to fall away!  Those leaves are done now, those past attachments are no longer needed or necessary!  They have been necessary to hold us up in the past but we have faced them, worked with them and we can safely cast them away!  Think of real live plants.  When their leaves have had their cycle, they begin to fall away so new growth has space to grow! As we work with our own LIGHT, it will show us where any and all shade has been hiding.  It will show us our  blockages, whether they are conscious or unconscious and whether they are ours or not.  Our energetic chords to others, who have moved on or who we have moved on from, will also reveal themselves.  Our LIGHT can show us our own shadows, which we may not have been able to see before.  Old emotional baggage, old mental fears, false notions about ourselves, which have constantly r...

Our human system; physical, emotional, sexual, mental and intellectual may experience trauma, hurt, abuse or neglect, etc., and we may find ways to begin the healing process as a result.  There are many pathways towards that healing.  Therapy, sound healing, meditation, yoga, working with a healer, finding a spiritual teacher, doing deep relaxation, Reiki, etc. As Albert Einstein taught us, when we have used one means to have created the problem, we will need another means to heal it.  This is when our Own Inner LIGHT comes in. Within us, and around us, there is a LIGHT that shines. We may have forgotten that LIGHT exists because we have been programmed and conditioned to just use our conscious mind to think. But  that LIGHT is there and it can be accessed, communicated with and understood.  OUR LIGHT wants us to grow, heal, expand and collaborate with it to become much more aware and conscious of all of who we are and what we are capable of in life. When our hu...

We can be 'con artists' of our own destiny when we engage in deception.  Looking deeper, we can see that deception comes from our own deep ego  desires that we feel we must have satisfied, no matter what.  Almost a desperate search for that deep longing to be fulfilled.  If an obvious, above board way cannot happen or does not show itself, we can find nefarious ways to produce that result we are seeking. This behavior or pursuit does not make us 'bad guys' but rather momentary 'shadow dancers'.  We may have to enter the shadow side of our nature in order to find where that need can be met.  Carl Jung' s work tells us we all have a shadow side.  Carl Jung encourages us to locate it, face it and ultimately integrate it into us in order to continue pursuing WHOLENESS.   If we just pursue the LIGHT, we are also inviting the dark to also be present. The opposite force does and will come so we can integrate them both.  Think Yin and Yang. ...

Once we locate the wounds that our physical systems have been unconsciously or subconsciously protecting, holding onto,  cultivating, hiding, falsely identifying with, just observing it, helps it to shift!!  Albert Einstein told us that essentially, anything observed will change due to the sheer observation of it.  When we locate our wound and begin to ferret it out into the open through self-compassion, self-love, self understanding, expect it to look and act a bit like a wounded animal.  You will recognize the wounded part but as you go towards it, it may turn on you and bite.  That reaction is due to fear and pain, despite how hopeful you are to help! When we have the inner courage to find our own LIGHT and set up constant communication with it, that same LIGHT will shine into our own darkness.  When the darkness we've hidden, repressed, suppressed or depressed begins to surface, Carl Jung teaches us that our unconscious aspects, now ...

When we arrive as babies, we are effectively like a bulb in the ground.  We will have  other people, usually parents, grandparents and other family members, 'waving' us through.  We receive their energy, their care, their views of life and their views of us. On the scale of multitudes of energy, we can consciously and unconsciously,. gather so much intel, that it can be a challenge to discern who we really are and who we really are in the first family context. By the time we are adults, and able to stand on our own, we have developed the skills, ideas, talents and abilities from how and who 'waved' us through.  We take this accruement of working, functional knowledge and apply it.  Yet, what if our 'bulb in the ground' did not receive enough quality water, sunshine, water or rain or quality soil or environment to adequately grow and develop?  What if the bulb didn't, couldn't, wouldn't open, develop correctly or grow?  What if we en...

As we grow and develop, we are effectively 'waved' through by our initial caregivers, usually in the form of our initial parents, who are providing what they know.  They have also been waved through their process from their parents and, consequently, given the skills, the education, the food, the clothes and identifications they also received.  They naturally draw on their known, through experience, ideas, concepts, world view, understanding and workable applications.  This they often do lovingly because they care about their child and/or children and their well being.  They want their child to have the needed and necessary skills for life, especially once the child strikes out on their own. It is a system that has worked for generations, to enable our, in general, survival as a species! Styles and influences change, of course, so there are basic changes, through the generations, in design, applications, definitions and sometimes, in directions. Yet, what remains in ...
