Captured Moments

  When we consciously collaborate with OUR OWN INNER LIGHT, asking it to shine into the areas that we need to see, that may have been in the shadows, we must take four steps to heal whatever is revealed. Our intention must be clear that those 'hidden, unconscious, subconscious' aspects need to and will surface when and as they need to, in order to be released.  OUR LIGHT is revealing to us, maybe through us, what is no longer of service to us. First, we must feel it, then find it, then face it and lastly, free it.  We cannot wish it away, hope it goes on its own, pray it leaves us alone or deny it exists.  It will simply remain there, with the possibility of greater growth, expansion, deeper pain or signs that it is impacting our health in a  myriad of ways. We may have to see why we hid it, denied it, looked the other way or pretended it didn't even exist. Maybe that protected us, maybe it was way too embarrassing, maybe we let it fester so now, it is way ...

When we are developing as children, our influences are all around us.  Parents or original caregivers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, neighborhood friends, school friends, teachers to name a few. We have our own inherent natures, talents, abilities, inclinations and tendencies, of course.  Yet, like a piece of clay, we are being  sculpted into what our families expect, want to see for themselves, prefer to see and will work to mold us into. We utilize these aspects and features and factor them into our sense of self, our self-identity, our self esteem and our growing confidence.  As our personalities continue developing, we might find ourselves going in different directions due to a variety of factors that we might not be aware of and yet they continue to pull us in new directions.  Are they shaping us in new ways, in some improved ways or are they carrying a negative imprint of some kind?  Have we signed up for an ancestral cleansing,...

When we have accessed our Own Inner Light, when we have cleared off old, worn out, negative relationships and old bound up chords, and let go of old hurts and deeply impacted emotions, we need to CONSCIOUSLY ALLOW our own positive, personal, emotional healing to emerge through our own chosen reassurance. This is the integration for WHOLENESS, for balance and for our BEST health, vitality and healing.  When we make this our own current day personal choice, our WHOLE system takes notice and everything changes towards the positive energy and purpose we have always carried. When we clean out and clear out our 'golden pond' (emotional, vital energy) of old, stuck, dark, dank, clutter that is no longer needed, wanted or necessary, we 'level up' energetically and our frequencies change, too. The HIGHER our vibration goes, the better we all feel and now, the more LIGHT we carry, the better we can see.   Our human systems carry so much energy and some of that energy has been stu...

When we accept that Our Own Inner Light can reveal where we are blocked and in need of healing, then our unconscious aspects can push up and out and begin clearing these old stuck and stagnant places.  Once the unconscious becomes conscious, it can't be unconscious again, so says Carl Jung.  What shows us the hold and energy of the unconscious is our OUR OWN INNER LIGHT. It has our very best interests at heart. When it is time to release for peace the old tired blocks, preventing us from becoming our best selves, these shifts and changes will occur. There are many healing techniques that can be and are quite effective. If you imagine yourself as a tall glass of clear water,  feeling quite clear, just as you are and then life has put mud or dirt in it, to taint who you were originally, that has changed your original clarity.  To flush it out, to return you to your original clear state, more clear water has to be added.  In that way, you fill with t...

When our Positive Self Images and Positive Self Esteem returns, our choice and voice also come back. Once we are sure of our core's understanding, OUR TRUTH begins to come forward from a much deeper place than we had previously had access to or spoken.  Our TRUTH can become blocked for many reasons, throughout our lives, and until or unless we free up, we can go silent instead of speaking up.  Once we release old chords, old attachments, old, negative relationships, old and stale aspects of us, more or who we are can and does come forward.  We can swell with such Positivity and Self Esteem, they exude from every aspect of us. This clears away old stagnant energy from every part of our system, inviting in, allowing in more of OUR OWN CONSCIOUS LIGHT that has been integrating with us all along.  A renewal, even on the cellular level, begins to occur and just like a closet we have recently cleaned out, more space is freed up for bigger and brighter things to come forwar...

  As our LIGHT shines into our dark corners where we may have shoved away old hurt, stuck, negative or damaged/damaging energy, the release of who we no longer are feels great and it allows for more positive and fulfilling  energy to come.  This new, lighter and brighter energy literally fills us with HOPE, LOVE, and HEALING LIGHT. We are more energized and happier.  Again, as Carl Jung tells us, when what has been unconscious becomes conscious, it can no longer be unconscious again. The feelings of SELF-EMPOWERMENT and POSITIVE SELF IMAGES rise up in us, much like a hot air  balloon that has been tied down for too long.  A renewed sense of FREEDOM comes and lifts us up to newer levels.  We are quite literally 'LEVELING UP' from where we have been. This collaboration with our own LIGHT is proof that it has always wanted to inspire us on to greater and greater heights of HOPE, HEALING and JOY.  As we intend to move forward to knowing and understand...

As much as we love the people in our lives, as much history as we have with them or as much as we have in common, those energetic attachments can hold us back as well as inhibit their growth, expansion and development.  We most likely aren't aware of these aspects of bondage. They are like energetic chords that might be keeping us too attached to others and those attachments may be hurting us or inhibiting our growth. They are subconscious or unconscious but we can often feel their tug. If you imagine having a younger sibling, who you have always felt responsible for, and they develop a drinking problem, you might  inadvertently step in to rescue them from their addiction.  Maybe they are about to lose their house, their marriage, their job and because you feel responsible, you are suddenly helping too much.  Now, without your awareness, your deep attachment to them is negatively affecting your life and hurting what you have built up for your family and survival...

When we think about our natural nature, we might think about our  personality, our strengths, talents, skills, abilities, thinking style, intellect and, in general, our  competence, our childhood preferences and interests or maybe just what others have told us about our nature.  Maybe we would define it through our education, our careers or all our areas that made us of make us feel successful. It could also be that our family, those closest to us in the beginning, had issues with our natural nature because they feared it, misunderstood it, couldn't define it and thought it best to stamp it out or dismiss us because of it. Maybe we have carried that fear and memory of feeling as if it wasn't safe to be truly WHO WE ARE! Some  families insist that we think just like they do, if we are a true family member or, at least, one with merit. Parents often, unconsciously or not, want us to reflect them on some level so they can see themselves in us.  A form of natur...

When we have gone to and through a lesson in life and come back out the other side, as in a death of a loved one, a divorce, another kind of a loss or even a loss of self-image, self-identification or an attachment of self-worth or self-esteem, we have the chance to find new ground and a new stand in life.  We can walk on, taking that past experience with us, in  terms of new growth and expansion, a certain sense of progress and greater development.  However, what can also happen if we don't stay conscious and aware is that same pattern, set of habits, old programming or past conditioning can or might surface and put us right back into that age old idea of our self we thought we had left behind.  So, the operative phrase to choose and use is, if we have gone through something, BE THROUGH WITH IT!! Take a hula hoop, the child's toy, for example.  Say you played with one all your life.  You are now growing up so you hardly use your old hula hoop now. ...

When we imagine our center, our core, our solar plexus to be the yellow center of a daisy, for example, we can see all the other petals around us.  These other petals can represent people, relationships, situations, finances, our home, our things, our past, our family and our health.  We can refer to them as anything in our lives.  When we can stand still for a time and tune into our core center, imagining or experiencing a bright, clear, yellow, healing, higher frequency Light, we can begin feeling those 'petals' coming out from all sides to complete the vision of a daisy.  These represent the petals all around our center.  Each morning or night or both, imagine pushing these petals, or, at least, some of the petals off your center, wishing the very best for anyone or any situation you find attached to your CENTER.  Allow these petals to go, gently and lovingly, until you feel your own bright CENTER again.  Have these other energies find their own way...

As the old, negative, wound covering, just like a scab after a deep cut, begins to fall away and be released, our most positive, contended self emerges.  It is like the return of sunshine  after many cloudy days; no more haze, no more confusion and no more hesitation. We are standing up, and going forward, in our own LIGHT; the integration after the collaboration with OUR OWN INNER LIGHT.  We have literally LIGHTENED UP because the dull, old darkness has finally surfaced and fallen off, not to return again!  As Carl Jung teaches us, once the unconscious makes itself conscious, it cannot become unconscious again.  The darkness has had it's time and it's domain but when we consciously work with our own LIGHT, that trapped within our system heaviness will  reveal itself and consequently, it will come to the surface to be released. It may have been there to teach us, to reach us, to give us a chance to see who we are not, encouraging us to seek who we TRULY are...

If our human system has been negatively impacted by abuse, neglect, humiliation or made to feel worthless, tainted, undervalued, discounted or dismissed, for example, we can  accidentally form a negative self image that we continue to carry around in our subconscious or unconscious layer of our personality or sense of self.  We do not mean to carry it there, express it towards others, act it out as if that is who we are but, if we don't know it is there, that negative self image can behave as if it is itself, going unchecked by our Truer Self, who knows that is actually a false self.  As human beings, we have many abilities, resources, techniques and talents to cover up, distract and overcome through sheer will power, hidden  emotional, mental, intellectual, psychological and even spiritual pain that we may have stuffed away, perhaps as far back as childhood!  We can become experts at coping, surviving and even fooling ourselves. As we become more and more ...

  When we  identify with the smallest, darkest parts of ourselves, maybe out of shame, blame, guilt, fear or remorse, we lower our True Vibration and Higher Frequency. It can then have the effect to slow our lives down and lock, block and shock our system back into our false sense of self, inhibiting further growth and expansion.  Taking OUR OWN INNER LIGHT and using it to dislodge a deep fear or doubt, allowing it to come back up to the surface to be faced, cleared, healed and consequently, our health and well being restored, is what is needed. (no  deep doubt, no human drought - aim for our own 'well' BEING to restore our own health and positive self-image) Our human system takes on so much energy from other people, life circumstances, childhood experiences, work situations and ego struggles to be seen, heard, understood, loved, included, belonging somewhere and needs for success, that we can get caught up in all that identification without realizing it is just exp...

When we trust the notion of OUR OWN INNER LIGHT and INNER LOVE, we can create and generate a vibration and frequency that aligns with OUR TRUTH, which is we cannot be separate from that that WE ARE!  The more frequently we vibrate to that TRUE ALIGNMENT, the greater the chance we have to realize it, experience it and remember it all the way down into our cells. Yes, we are also in human form and that humanness in us must also be attended to.  We must manage our lives, our living arrangements, our body's health and well being and reaffirm our relations to ourselves, our families, our friends and the world around us.  Yet, when we have openly, lovingly welcomed in our HIGHEST LIGHT and LOVE SO WE CAN ACTIVELY, CONSCIOUSLY ENGAGE WITH IT, INVITE IT IN AND COLLABORATE WITH IT IN OUR ACTIVE, HONEST AWARENESS, IT CAN UPLIFT AND INSPIRE OUR OVERALL HEALTH, CLARITY AND WELL BEING, ultimately, enhancing our lives. We do not have to fear our OWN LIGHT because it is ultimately WHO W...

  When we have fed ourselves the falsehoods about ourselves for long  enough, we can begin to believe that is who we are!  We can think we are the old traumas, the past identifications or the previous roles we have played.  They can all feel so real it is difficult to discern that, in fact, we are beyond those attachments, identifications, reactions and responses.  Deeper within us is the Being Self, the One who knows. This Being Self is the micro of the macro BEING ITSELF!  It never loses contact with the Great Cosmic Being or SOURCE OF LIFE ITSELF!  We can forget to hear it, believe it exists or go past utilizing its PRESENCE and WISDOM.  Yet, it is there, present within us all.   We have many ways and means to cover it up or deny it is there.  If the awareness of it was not highlighted in your early development, not a part of your family's structure or valued at all, then it can be even harder to remember and detect. ...

When our feelings and/or emotions towards or as a result of negative thoughts, energy or action from someone else affect/affect our well being, we can hold them in tighter and tighter.  It becomes a conscious or unconscious act of protecting ourselves from more hurt, damage, trauma or emotional, personal devastation.  Over time, these feelings can become hard feelings that we carry and may even project onto others.  The harder these old feelings become, the more weight they turn into for us.  Weight can actually go both ways.  The heaviness of the weight of the past or the wait, in terms of time, when clearing them.  When our hard feelings have become hard enough to carry, it is time to release them all completely.  Since we hold onto our old hurt feelings, we can find our hard old feelings locked, blocked or even shocked in to our second and third chakras.  These two centers are found in the navel area as well as just below the bel...
