This will be my last update until I return from from Arizona on February 24th since access is limited in the mountains and most of the time will be filled with working the gem show. There is a sense of enthusiasm as well as anxiousness. So much to do, in addition to work, I know the next week will fly. The winds of change are all around now. Not that they haven't been in motion. It just seems that they are more obvious. I am observing how things are coming into alignment, knowing that I have done the work to make this all happen. So it's interesting to see how it's all coming together and aligning with my vibration.

My new website looks awesome and is up & running, thanks to Martha Ervin who not only created the website, but also brought some wonderful new ideas to the site.  It's indicative of how everything, including the work itself is changing. Please check it out when you get the time at  CranialVisions and let us know what you think.

I continue to have people ask about the intense energies and when they will be letting up. For now, the best way to deal with the energies of integration, which is what we are experiencing after all the work in 2012, is to nurture yourself daily and connect to the Earth energies as often as possible. I had several people reach out to me asking for ways to stay connected to Source energy and keep the Higher Vibration.  Here's a great article on ways to raise your vibration which will assist you greatly in moving through the integration process, 21 Ways to Raise Your Vibration .  Something else that I came across that's simple wisdom & worth passing on:

It is simply a conscious effort applied. It is a way of life. It becomes a new way of being and doing. Just as we become lax and lazy in nurturing our body-mind-spirit, we must develop a lifestyle of nurturing ourselves knowing it is necessary to the process. It is not rocket science and it is not complicated. The above information is simple yet requires you to take the time to do it. In the time that you can express that 'you don't have the time', you can do the things listed above. When you are in a place of discomfort because of the energy, take control of YOUR energy and ask yourself 'why' you are feeling uncomfortable. As a reminder, it is always a choice in the moment whether you remain in that place or shift your energy/vibration to a higher one by any of the simple suggestions listed  HERE  .
We are living the journey we came here to experience. It is not all love & light, but as we hold those vibrations in our heart, we create the shift from 3D reality to 4D/5D reality. Another reminder that it is all about vibration. Your reality is the level at which you choose to vibrate. Make the choice to shift it whenever it slips, and it will slip. We have several new events that are meant to assist those in the midst of transformation. The Women's Circle (Friday, 1/25) is a support group for women taking their power back whether it be in personal, private or professional ways. The MasterMind Group (Saturday, 3/2) is a powerful prayer meditation group that is effective & efficient in shifting energy individually & collectively. More details on these events are listed on our events site Sacred Gathering .
The links this week are intended to empower, uplift, motivate, validate & affirm for you that although your journey is unique to you, we are all on this wonder-filled adventure together. This dance of life is best learned through experience. Please take what resonates with you and share with those you feel may benefit from it knowing that you are facilitating the raising of consciousness on the planet. It is important that we share while on this great adventure, so we all know we are on basically the same journey with a unique twist for each of us.

Hi All,

Hope this finds you settling in to the New Year. We have just experienced a rather wild & crazy ride. As we moved through the 11:11, 12:12:12, 12:21-23, the energies that were prevalent made the holidays a bit uncomfortable. There was a definite sense of urgency throughout the entire month of December and some were doubting their sanity. As we have moved into the New Year, I find myself extremely sensitive to everything. Sensitive in every sense of the word. It hasn't fully settled yet, but I understand from my guidance that we are still acclimating, assimilating, integrating & processing all that we experienced in the final 2 months of 2012. 

We also still have major processing taking place in our hearts. This also accounts for the uber sensitivity. The return of the Christ Consciousness through us also accounts for this intense sensitivity as we are awaking to 'truth', and the 'truth' is not always what we want to see. We are at a point in our evolution that we cannot tolerate anything but truth. Awareness is truth. Awareness also brings with it the realization that we cannot stay in a place of comfort or suppression and grow. Our Soul is reaching out to us as we move into this great awareness. It communicates through our heart that we are worthy of happiness and it is up to us to own that happiness. It is an element of love. As we come from love and are returning to love, that happiness makes itself known in ways that lift our spirits, makes us smile, opens our heart more and more with each passing day. It is a state of being. 

I have been seeing a lot of coded numbers; 11:11, 12:12, 333, 444, 555 and so on. Each time I see these numbers, I am aware that encoding is taking place. This encoding is assisting my soul integration helping me to remember, to detach from the 'old' energy and to embrace the 'new' energy. It feels quite different for me. That's what is so very cool about this journey, the fact that just when you think you've seen, heard, experienced the wildest thing you could possibly experience, the Universe kicks it up a notch. It is never ending magical & mystical.

We enjoyed some really powerful meditations during the last half of December that were intended to facilitate moving into 2013 with grace & ease. These meditations were very effective in moving us beyond the chaos and clutter that was all around given the timelines this year, and the incidents on a global level that pulled at our heart strings serving to keep us in a state of compassion. Many seemed to be comforted by the gathering together & connecting at the heart level, the sound healing that was provided & the peace that is found in raising our vibration. When we raise our vibration now, within the chamber of this new cycle, we have more peace because we are closer to our original vibrational signature. The higher our vibration, the more at peace we will be. Let this be your New Year's resolution this year: to continue to raise your own vibration in service to the Highest Good of All. As we do this we facilitate a state of peace for the planet as well and this frequency radiates out to assist all that is shifting; which is everything. Raising your vibration also serves to facilitate healing, return to balance, clarity, re-calibration of your entire body, mind & spirit, and alignment of your Heart and Soul to enable you to move into your purpose &/or truth. 

Meditation, breath work, sound therapy, crystal therapy, tai chi, yoga, massage or any body work, and connecting with nature continue to be most effective in raising your vibration, keeping it there and helping you to navigate with that grace & ease that we all strive for. Make it a part of you daily nurturing habit to practice one of these at least once a day. You will be glad you did as you continue to see results in your overall body-mind-spirit being. 

As all of our senses outside of our 3D senses come on line, we will notice that we see things that seemingly were not 'there' before, or hears tones we never heard, or experience tastes that we cannot distinguish or smell fragrances/odors that are overwhelming or feel so much more than we ever did before in ways we have never experienced before. This is all a part of the awakening process. If for any reason, you have difficulty with this process, please feel free to call, text or send me an email, as I can assist you in the moment and am here at this time to assist in this process. What we are experiencing is not going away. We actually crossed a threshold on 12-21-12 that was intended to deliver us to the Highest aspect of ourselves. The most important thing to remember is that we chose to be here now and to have this experience. It is a privilege to be here, and I can think of nowhere else I'd rather be than here right now on this journey with you.

The links this week are meant to empower, uplift, affirm and validate you on your journey. Feel free to pass this on to assist someone you may know that is 'waking' up. As we connect at the heart level, we clearly see into the soul of each other and can be present in love for one another. This part of the journey is about learning to navigate in Grace with ease. Grace is a state of being. It is being with yourself and being OK with that. It is knowing that we have everything we need within ourselves for this journey. It is knowing that we are never alone even though we are totally self-sufficient. It is knowing that the Universe and Great Spirit are constantly sending us signs of synchronicity to help us on our way and light the path.

Hi All,
This week has been a bitter sweet week for me. I had to unexpectedly put one of my 14 cats down on Monday. They are each so unique and such a conduit for unconditional love. She was only 8 and had never shown signs of sickness. Her kidneys crashed and within just a few days time, she became immobilized. It is such a hard decision to let go of someone we love. When the vet called to give me her prognosis, she began by saying, "Because of the test results (that were off the chart), the humane thing to do would be to put her down; however, we can give her fluid and antibiotics for a couple of days to see if she comes back." After meditating on it, as I wanted to make sure we had done all that we could do, and not just letting go based on what someone was telling me, 'humane' kept ringing in my ears. IF she had pulled through the few days of fluid and antibiotics, she would still have required fluid on a consistently regular basis, medications and special diet for the rest of her life. 

I saw this when I worked at the cat shelter that I worked in for 5 years. You see, the thing is, animals don't know all the prodding, poking, the invasion of their bodies. They don't do well with that. That is a human condition to keep from letting go of the physical. While I don't condemn that, I do feel it is a selfish act to want to keep someone (person or animal) alive at whatever cost. I feel in many instances that the humane thing to do is to let go rather than subjecting them to what WE think/feel as the natural thing to do, when in fact, it is our fear of loss of the physical & death that drives us to keep people and animals alive by any means possible. That being said, when you have to make this kind of decision, please ALWAYS go inside your heart and listen for the answer that is right for you rather than listening to what someone else (doctor, family, friends)  tells you is the right thing to do. You will know if it's the right thing for that soul or if it's your own 'need' for that presence in your life to remain there no matter what the cost to that being. 

The last several cats I have lost in the past few years were 15-16 years old, so to me, this one was still young (although most people consider around 10 old for an animal). I knew what had to be done. I also knew that this was the Universe's way of checking out my courage & strength for the compassion of the other being. Despite the loss, I walked my talk. And it really didn't make me feel good about myself. Sometimes the right thing to do creates so very much pain in our hearts. I haven't cried so much in a very long time. I cried all day Monday, and even now feel the urge to cry over the loss of this beautiful companion. She facilitated such a release and ultimately an opening of my heart at such a critical time. The Universe brings us exactly what we need to deliver us to the innermost parts of ourselves helping us with the level of growth that is necessary in our journey of self-discovery & realization. 

On the same day that I had to put my cat to sleep, we found out that my mother-in-law, who has undergone lung surgery and chemo for lung cancer in the last 10 months, is now cancer free. This good news came just a few hours after the news on my cat. There is always that balance of the perceived good with the bad, yet sometimes we choose not to see it. We are inclined to attach to one or the other and ride the wave. The object during these times is to find that balance and to allow yourself to be within that space. It helps to stabilize the energy rather than overwhelming one way or the other. It is not easy, yet can be done if we set the intention to live through grace. 

Grace is a way of life. It is a choice to take the perceived good with the bad and know that 'it is what it is', truly neither 'good' nor 'bad'. Navigating with heart consciousness and riding the emotional waves as if they were gusts of wind meant to carry you to higher realms. You may be saying, "That's easier said than done, given the situation, sometimes." As we focus on navigating through heart consciousness, it becomes easier. There was a time when I could not have put my cat down. Instead I would have gone the route of prolonging the inevitable, not even taking into account whether she would have a quality of life or not. Without a doubt, she would be loved but would she be comfortable?? And I give myself credit now for being so much wiser than I was even 10 years ago. I have been shown this week just how far I have come, yet by no means is the journey over. There is more laughter, dancing, singing, & yes, tears, to be experienced. I know, as should you, that I am not alone. The love is felt so deeply at this time and it is my intent to give that love as deeply as I am receiving it. Grace lies in living as the love that we are.

The links this week give us further info on what to expect in 2013, as well as confirmation about what we are feeling and experiencing at this time. Please take what you resonate with and use it to build upon your own wisdom and share knowing that it facilitates the raising in consciousness and vibration. As always, this information is mean to empower, uplift, validate & motivate you on your journey.  

This week has gotten off to a cold start with the weather and the Universe giving us time to reflect on the period since the 11:11, 12:12:12 and the 12:21:12. What's coming up for us in the next few weeks will be a huge push into our truth, or at the very least, a change in that direction. We are on the threshold of a shift for each of us individually as well as collectively, that will 'rock our world'. This is being indicated by many that I am seeing now.  We are aware that we have undergone a major internal shift and we are no longer able or willing to tolerate those things that require change in our lives. We have found the courage & the strength in choosing to initiate that change and embrace the shift within and move forward. For some, it may mean a drastic change. Sometimes, that is the best way to do it; to jump in the water all at one time rather than dangling your feet in it. I am a perfect example that this works best for some of us. 

We are living a new life with the soul integration that took place between 11:11, 12:12:12 & 12:21. This was a merging of the divine feminine & masculine energies, facilitating the balance of the sacred heart/sacred mind where ascension really takes place. We will be feeling this process intensely throughout the months of February & March. What we have to look forward to after the initial integration process is physical & emotional clearing (not the easiest part of the process). This is necessary to surrender & release any and all fear based & lower energies stuck in our physical 3D bodies. This process was in fact set into motion in 1999 and culminates in a very big way in 2013. 

I have had many tell me they didn't think they would make it through March. We have to keep in mind that the process is most intense just before it all comes together. It is almost unbearable for some and yet it is necessary for our ascension. The process that I have have been given to work with others at this time that is most powerful & beneficial (other than sound healing) is the Violet Flame Heart Activation. This process works on the heart, thymus, pineal & pituitary to re-calibrate after releasing major lower vibrational energy. It clears out the energy and provides an activation that attunes the frequency of the body to the original soul vibrational signature. It is quickly becoming one of my most requested sessions, and rightly so, as it facilitates moving through the emotional & physical clearing that goes with the soul integration quickly. The soul is re-integrating into the physical body by way of the pineal/pituitary/thymus and ultimately into the heart/core which is it's original 'home'. As it descends into the physical 3D (physical) body, the lower 3 chakras (solar plexus, sacral chakra & root/base chakra) along with the heart are literally purged of old/lower/stuck/karmic energy, emotions, beliefs, any anything that is not in alignment with the soul's original vibrational signature. The effects of the VFHA are immediate allowing you to move on quickly, as is required during the integration process. This activation process was given to me to serve the multitudes that would require assistance in moving forward during this part of our evolutionary cycle. 

When I was in Tucson last year, I was given a message of the soul integration that was under way and what it meant for us. This integration of the light/dark, feminine/masculine, sacred mind/sacred heart, soul/heart is ultimately the return to balance that could only be accomplished by this process. This process has been very uncomfortable for most of us and down right painful for others. The important thing to know at this time, is that this integration process is the return to our truth and power. It is the only way at this time. Of course the raising of our vibration is a 'growing pain' in that it is an intense process of raising our vibration in order to facilitate the soul integration. It is also a constant process of releasing and re-calibrating.

Spirit communicates constantly the message that we are not alone. We are guided every step of the way. It is in those moments when you feel most incapacitated, confused, overwhelmed & defeated, that you are absolutely lifted up. Please know that "IT IS SO", and there are those such as myself that are here to hold the energy and to facilitate the moving through the process for ALL creating a grid of energy that as you set your intention to move forward, upward, allows you to connect to this energy making your journey a bit easier just by tapping into it. It is that simple. For those times when you can't seem to move past the clearing, please do not hesitate to call me or to reach out to someone you know that can facilitate the re-connection process. The energy/field/consciousness I work with serves as a catalyst for the Highest Good of All and part of what I do in sessions is to connect you to that source to serve you during your  journey.

I am preparing to leave for Tucson at the end of January for 24 days and have come to know that this trip is a multi-faceted trip. I get to spend time with my soul sister, Sherry Whitfield & her family along with the ancient crystal skull, Synergy, work with her in her booth at the 3 week long huge Tucson Gem & Mineral Show that enfolds all of Tucson, spend time in the beautiful Sonoita Mountains experiencing such a closeness with nature and my guidance uses this time to really deliver prophetic messages and visions. I experience such clearing while there almost effortlessly. It is a lot of work, but I enjoy every minute of it and all that the trip brings. I am so grateful for this opportunity to be able to go there again, for the 3rd year in a row. I know that although Sherry makes the trip possible, my guidance & the Universe use this opportunity in every way to assist me on my  journey revealing information to me that will serve me in the years to come. I am also able to incorporate what I experience into my work in service to others.  Guidance shares with me information on healing that I could not possibly have known consciously, yet when I research it, there it is. 

I am most excited about what the trip holds this year. No expectations, although I know there is magic awaiting the adventure. I look forward to all that I will return with to share and each time, know that I return as a different person. It is a vision quest that the Universe and my guidance has so methodically arranged. It is no coincidence that it happens in February before the Spring Equinox that my guidance says is a most important date this year. We are just now getting our feet wet in 2013. We will be taking the plunge over the course of the next few months. This dance of a lifetime is most exciting. It is meant to be a journey of adventure. 

The links this week will confirm, validate, empower, & uplift you. Please take what resonates with you and use it wisely. Feel free to share any of this information as you pay-it-forward on this journey of enlightenment. It is in the sharing that we realize our true identities & abilities. We are moving into new territory as we forge ahead in the 4D/5D reality. Remember that all is vibration and your choice delivers you to that vibration that is your reality.
