Wounded Healers…

…aren’t born or made. They create themselves by transforming their pain into power and adversity into strength. They are spiritual alchemists who understand the value of facing the shadows and transmuting them into light. They are the Illuminators of the unseen realms and help lost souls find help, home and healing.

~Lonerwolf

Over the past years I have met many of such wounded healers here on WordPress. You are the ones who have overcome incredible odds, the ones who don’t give up, the ones that have stayed positive and hopeful, during and after times of horror. You are the ones who are my role model, the ones I feel connected through by a common thread, and the ones that inspire me to never forget how powerful the human spirit can be. Thank you for sharing your stories, and for spreading hope and love in this world. You, each and every one of you make such a huge difference, and at times you may never know, and it is your spirit that may have just saved another.❤️

Namaste

Namaste (Nah- mas-tay)

My soul honors your soul. I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. I honor the light, love, truth, beauty & peace within you, because it is also within me. In sharing these things we are united, we are the same, we are ONE.

We have all met that person. Faced that invisible connection that has made us feel as if we were talking to ourselves. In wonder and astonishment we have recognized a familiarity, a comfort that has always felt like home. A place of warmth that allows us to lay our weapons down and just be. A sanctuary without judgement and prejudice, a place to be carefree, a place to be understood.

When experienced, those times will come with much gratitude, and it is something we cherish and protect. It is rare, it is beautiful, and it nourishes the deepest parts of ourselves. Being on that same soul path, at the exact same time, what an incredible synchronicity. Perhaps we have passed us by, without ever knowing, or the timing was off. If we are lucky we meet again, and when it does happen and someone brings out the best in you instead of the stress in you, make sure to take the time and appreciate and honor their soul in all its beauty, because it doesn’t always happen that way. Consider yourself lucky and blessed, and most of all, never take it for granted.

Namaste 🙏🏼

I hope you live louder

Picture taken from Pinterest

I came across a little midweek inspiration with this beautiful poem from Marisa Donnelly @tinybuddha.com. It immediately spoke to me, as so many Moments escape us doing busy work, having to adult, looking after our obligations and responsibilities, or doing whatever.

It is always balance that is key and pursuing your passion and the things that allow you to live louder as often as possible. I would love to share this poem with you today while sending a huge virtual hug to whoever that needs it, and maybe a little nudge and reminder to push yourself to make time for those things. You already know it will be worth it.

I hope you live louder

I hope you laugh more. I hope you sing at the top of your lungs. I hope you drive with the windows down and let the wind rustle through your hair. I hope you hug. I hope you kiss. I hope you surround yourself with people who make you feel alive. I hope you become the type of person that brings good energy wherever you go, and the type of person people want to be around. I hope you speak what’s on your mind, that you raise your voice for injustice, that you tell others that you love them, instead of waiting until it’s too late. I hope you live louder, shine brighter. From this moment on. ❤️🦋

The other serenity prayer

God, grant me the serenity to stop beating myself up for not doing things perfectly, the courage to forgive myself because I’m working on doing better, and the wisdom to know that you already love me just the way I am.

Finding the light

I walk with the ancients.

I am light and darkness.

Nature is my church.

June predictions

Shamanic Bee ~ Peter Yankowski

For most of us it has been quite a year. Many feel major shifts, and lifestyle changes. We feel the pressure to change our ways and to reevaluate what we are willing to accept and what not. There is much empowerment and freedom on the forefront as major changes help us create the life we deserve and want. But it comes required with courage and not without a sense of being scared about the unknown. It is here where we are urged to make the leap of faith, while trust and surrender are equally important.

While you are figuring out what’s next, here is a great June prediction from Third Eye Thoughts, for anyone that needs a reminder to stay strong and to stay the course. You are nearly there…

June will be a month of financial abundance. Major success, and happiness. Your life will flourish in many ways. Get ready for amazing breakthroughs, positive change, healing, and growth. June will have many miracles in store for you. Prepare yourself for an amazing month!

Amen….get ready ❤️

Good morning – new day

I am grateful, I am blessed. I am worthy and I am good enough. I am comfortable feeling emotions, and every moment is an opportunity to play. I am abundant and attract the opportunities. I am safe, I am strong and I am committed.

These are just a few mantras that have filled my days, and which have motivated me to see life with a renewed love and appreciation. The RA still gets me on my knees on any given day, but the scale has tipped and and the tolerable, better days have outweighed the miserable, crippling ones.

While the Pluto retrograde, could be a time to bring feelings of angst and major life transitions, it has been a time of spiritual growth for me. A time to put into perspective where I really want to go in life, and it’s been long overdue. So for me it is also a time most appreciated to make changes and to tap into the support and powers of changing my stars.

Along the way I had to learn that it’s ok to not have all the answers, and not to have it all planned out safely. It is work in progress and definitely takes getting used to. I had to trust that some of the mysteries are found in not knowing it all. I learned to let go of control, to surrender and believe that the universe has a plan for me. Not always by choice, but by being forced to it at times. It’s a beautiful thing if you can see it as a positive and don’t feel like life is just giving you the short end of the stick. Not fighting resistance is actually the biggest lesson and the best you can do for yourself because life will always happen, whether you want it to or not, whether you are ready or not. It has been a humbling, freeing and amazing experience. Not without the occasional scare, but one that brought further awareness and the ability to be led.

Through it all I have found a new appreciation, a new love for every day. For all the big and little things that happen and fill my heart. I know there is another reason for it which I will discuss in a separate post. For today, I leave you and want to share a few morning rituals that might help you welcome the day with love and appreciation. Just give it a try…

• Start your day dancing as if no one is watching for five minutes

• Cleanse and refresh – drink a glass of lemon water, take a shower or bath
• Attract abundance – write down at least three things you are grateful for
• Connect mindfully – inhale and exhale seven deep breaths
• Ignite clarity and creativity – burn candles, incense, or oils
• Self heal – meditate for 10-30 minutes
• Open to change – engage your body with yoga, dance, or exercise
• Manifestation – write down your goals and intentions for the day
• Nurture self love – walk in nature or write down a brief letter to yourself

Just start small and pick one or two things that fit into your schedule. Commit to doing it every day until a habit is formed. Once this has happened and becomes second nature, you can pick another thing and build on your foundation already in place.

Don’t forget to slow down enough to feel the difference and notice the changes. Keep a journal and write it down.

Wishing you the best, and would love to hear your results or if you already have your own mourning rituals.

Namaste 🙏🏼

2020 The year of ascension and spiritual growth

I recently came across this amazing post from conscious reminder. It was the synchronicities that resonated strongly with me. So much was in line with what I mentioned earlier this year, although my hunches were on a personal level, pertaining only to me.

I had a feeling that 2019 was going to be a year of transition. A year that would pave the future for 2020. I felt it strongly for no particular reason, and I still do. I guess you could call it a gut feeling, intuition that this would become my reality.

I also think many of you are preparing and going through a year of change and transition. A year figuring out what truly fuels you, a year of finding purpose and staying true to yourself, your higher self without bringing forth all of the sacrifices of an empty life. Surely you have asked yourself if this is it, is this all there is to life, and surely you have found yourself unfulfilled, tired and exhausted chasing something you can’t quite put your finger on. But you know it’s out there as you chase it relentlessly, trying over and over to reach what you can’t explain. You know it’s real because you feel it so strongly, but you can’t put your finger on it, and not everybody will understand. How could they, you don’t even understand yourself. In the end you are mostly alone to figure it out. “Are you going crazy”, are you the only one feeling this? Let me tell you that you are not, and that you are perfectly fine. You are hearing the call and it is your time for ascension. This is your year of preparation, the year that will pave your future for a better life. The sky is the limit of where it will take you. Take a look and see.

“Believe that things can go right for a change. The whole universe has been waiting for you to just believe in yourself.

2020 Will Be A Year Of Ascension & Spiritual Growth, And 2019 Is Paving The Way

No caption needed and it’s only the beginning.

There is nothing wrong with showing your roots, or returning back to your roots. I’ve learned that there is no reason not to stay grounded and still shake things up a bit and dare to live.

There has been a lot of grounding over the last two days, and it feels like it’s been an eternity since this has happened. It was so needed and so appreciated. Thank you.

Are you paying attention?

“I understand now that I’m not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, “For the same reason I laugh so often – because I’m paying attention.”

~Glennon Doyle Melton

How about you? Are you paying attention or are you too busy? Take the time, you owe it to yourself. What truly matters is how you see yourself, because after all it is you who has to live with yourself.
