Blessed Sunday beautiful beings! The holiday season is all around, and in whatever way you celebrate, may you remember to receive the bountiful beauty of joy and love that can come from this time if we allow it.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Dorothy Walters this week who has spent the last half of her long life teaching us about kundalini energy and what it actually is. I had a kundalini awakening in my late thirties where I would shake for hours on my bed. I had no knowledge of what was happening to me at the time – just that I intuitively knew it was okay and to go with what was wanting to move through me. Each person has a different experience with their awakening, and mine was the shaking. I now understand that every cell in my body was being reformatted into a new energetic alignment, and in this process I would be able to shed my old way of being in order to be rebirthed.

About six months ago another shift happened in my energy in that I can no longer leave my body. I used to be able to fly off into the realms, but now, I am firmly in my body. What I have come to understand is that my job is to be fully here, on Earth plane, in my full energetic power to do the work I came here to do. The lines of communication to Spirit and the guides are definitely open and I hear just as well as before, but the energy it took to fly away is now being transferred into Love energy, and I send this out in light waves as often as possible through my heart.

The speed at which we are moving through karma and past density is also happening at a fast pace and keeps quickening. Sometimes I can feel manic with highs and lows within hours of each other. But the beauty is what would have taken me days to move through something can literally happen in hours. I hope you are also taking full advantage of this rapid expansion. That block you have been afraid to look at? If you’re willing to sit with it, it will clear faster than you think. And with another full moon this Wednesday you have an extra dose of Momma Moon energy to help you clear it away. Then what is left is more room for Light and Love and the ability to co-create with life in an even more powerful way. You serve yourself, the planet, and Spirit. I’d call that a win-win-win.

Another win-win-win is that I asked my young men to go with me to a holiday play that I attend every year. It’s my favorite thing to do during this season, and the compromise was that they don’t need to buy me a Christmas gift but do this with me instead. They are happy, I am happy, and we get some family time together. (not always an easy task with two teens!) My premise is that if someone in the mix feels like they are losing, then it’s not highest and best for everyone. So in this often frantic and hurried season, please stop and take notice of how you feel with any activity you might feel is an obligation. I skipped two parties this weekend because I wanted quiet and rest. Check in with you and find your balance.

Although we do put up a Christmas tree, I would say my traditions now are more tribal and shamanic. I honor Mother Earth and Father Sky, and I appreciate the way the Native and Hawaiian cultures have grounded me as I honor Spirit in all forms. I hold space for you as you also find your true North in what this season truly means for you. For me, now more than ever, it is all about Love. I am curious - how do you celebrate and what means the most to you this season?

This photo is of my spirit animal the honu (Hawaiian sea turtle) with my favorite flowers – stargazer lilies – on my living room table a few weeks ago. Find your joy, share your smile.

Always with you in highest and best. xo
