How lovely are the swirling heights you wish to climb. It is a breeze, you know. There is nothing hard or far about rising to where you long to rise. It is a snap. It is a natural unfolding. How does a rose unfold? This is how you fold and unfold and literally find yourself embraced in My heart and embraced to stay.

In one way, then there is nothing for you to do. In another way, there is nothing you can’t do, for whatever exists, you are. You can slip inside the unfolding rose. You can ride the clouds. You can clasp the moon and ride it too. The sun is like your engine and you can wear it like a medallion of yellow topaz. You want to read the stars? You can read the stars and listen to them like a conch. Echelons of light will slide off you and return. You can reach any height you like without effort. You can dabble your fingers in the Indian Ocean or float on the Dead Sea. When I say there isn’t anything you cannot manifest or create, I mean there isn’t anything and everything that you cannot alight on.

You can traverse from Universe to Universe. You can hop a train or a plane. You can transform and transcend. You can feel what it is to be anything you would like, what a spider feels, what a puppy or what a comet feels. You can get into anything. You can transcend anything. You can be as you want to be. You can consciously get into My heart and stay here.

Saturn is still stealing the show in the transits this week. “Disciplined expansion of consciousness” is an appropriate keyphrase for this week. Sun, Vesta, Pluto, Mercury, and Venus reside in Capricorn, Saturn’s home sign, for the entire week, indicating an opportunity to use thinking, cooperation, transformative qualities, and self-expression to initiate and accomplish various concrete goals. Apollon (Transneptunian) aspects Saturn all week; Saturn gives structure to Apollon’s multiplication effect. Hard work this week has a greater than average chance of increasing returns, especially with Jupiter among the more influential energies.

What might this week portend for you? Consider your Sun sign and rising sign/ascendant as well.

If you think you’re hearing the word “empathy” everywhere, you’re right. It’s now on the lips of scientists and business leaders, education experts and political activists. But there is a vital question that few people ask: How can I expand my own empathic potential? Empathy is not just a way to extend the boundaries of your moral universe. According to new research, it’s a habit we can cultivate to improve the quality of our own lives.

But what is empathy? It’s the ability to step into the shoes of another person, aiming to understand their feelings and perspectives, and to use that understanding to guide our actions. That makes it different from kindness or pity. And don’t confuse it with the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” As George Bernard Shaw pointed out, “Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you—they might have different tastes.” Empathy is about discovering those tastes.

“Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of pains, losses and disappointments; but let us have patience and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.” ~ Joseph Addison

What if one day you woke up and decided that you were tired of feeling tired and that you had enough of everything? Enough of stress and anxiety, enough of anger and resentment, enough of struggle, lack, pain and poverty, enough of tears, heartbreaks, self destructive thoughts, behaviors and relationships and enough of all that is negative and toxic? What if you decided that you wanted to change yourself and your life but didn’t know where exactly to start, what then?

There are many things you can do to begin rebuilding your life and make it ridiculously amazing and today I will share with you 12 things that are meant to help you do just that. Are you ready? Let’s begin:

Christmas is an exciting time of year, but there is so much about Christmas which remains unknown to the public.  In, if some of these things were known to the public, the spirit of Christmas might be tainted a little bit.  Jesus was not born in December, Santa originated from pagan mythology, and mistletoe means “dung on a twig”.

Christmas has become commercialized and cultured to the point where it is completely separated from its real roots.  All we see is lights, red and green decorations, and the same Christmas carols that play over and over.  But Christmas actually has an interesting history which is much more interesting than the holiday of consumerism it has become.  Here are the top 5 things you didn’t know about Christmas (and probably should).

HJ: Difficult emotions can be doorways to deep self healing and awareness, but they can also be uncomfortable and so we tend to suppress or try to escape them… but, counterintuitively, accepting and embracing them is the key to having them pass rapidly and being able to see the wisdom that they contain for us.  Asking yourself the question, “Why am I having this reaction to this situation?” or going even deeper, “What must I believe is true in order to be having this reaction?” will allow you to discover the root cause of the negative emotion.  As you then begin to heal this part of yourself, the negative emotion stops arising altogether.  However, in order to understand where it comes from in the first place, you must not suppress or escape, you must accept what is happening knowing there is great wisdom within it for you.  Acceptance is ultimately the key to freedom, healing and full liberation of consciousness.

The Power of Befriending Our Feelings

A Middle Path Between Avoiding Feelings and Fueling Them

By John Amodeo, Ph...

If we could give you one thing for the holidays, it would be for you to see yourselves as we do. We wish you would allow yourselves to see how spectacular your beauty, your bravery, your compassion, your complete capability, your connectedness, your love, truly is. You are all divine perfection and loved wholly and completely for who you are and all you do. ~Archangel Gabriel

The Light of The Universe shines through you to others in your Earth-plane existence. Some of you are aware of this, some of you are not. It is a remembering of who you are, my perfect creation….embrace your light! ~ Creator

What does ease in life mean to you? It could be lots of money though I haven’t noticed that having lots of money necessarily brings more ease to those who have it. Then they have to work hard at keeping it or doubling it.

Ease could well be not working so hard at life and not spending yourself all over the place. You do not have to be the best person in the world or the most loved. Conserve your energy.

I do not speak of being lazy. I speak of your not having to please everyone in order to win their approval. This is a lot of work. It is never done. You don’t really get anywhere. If you were a car, it’s like you get a temporary fill-up, yet you have a leak in your tank. You may spend too much energy for too little.

You are here on Earth to give love, this is true. It is not love to over-spend yourself, however. Come to the point where you love yourself, and you will give lots of love without over-spending. Likely you have been over-extending yourself. Life is to live yet not to use up all your energy on what doesn’t really matter and then not have enough energy left over for your needs. This is working your fingers to the bone for a pittance.

There is no virtue in getting wound up and worn out. I never said to cut yourself short. Better to give all your food away than all your energy. You don’t have to hunt for yourself and your value. You are already found. I found you in My heart and in My thoughts long before you came to Earth. I did not find you wanting. Why, then, do you find yourself wanting?
