Just think how much energy is consumed and how much waste is produced by every house on the planet. It’s all because traditional modern housing lacks sustainability and relies on public utilities and fossil fuels. However, with the growing awareness of the environmental issues, more and more people stick to ecologically friendly housing alternatives, which don’t harm the environment but also allow for off-the-grid living.

A small community in Taos, New Mexico, lives completely off the grid thanks to an amazing concept of a self-sustainable house, known as Earthship. All Earthships are based on three main ideas – sustainable architecture, green energy and the possibility to be built by someone who doesn’t have advanced construction skills. When architect Michael Reynolds came up with the concept of Earthship in the 1970s, his main goal was to develop a structure that mimics natural processes and makes most of the surrounding environment, instead of exhausting natural resources.

Have you ever had a day where you had difficulty concentrating? When you felt heavy or overwhelmed by life? Or felt as though you were being held back somehow from achieving what you want? According to Eastern metaphysical theories of Ayurvedic Indian Medicine, there are seven major spiritual centers of the body. These are called the chakras. These energy centers can be likened to wheels of energy that each correspond with certain organs and glands, as well as mental, emotional, and physical states.

When we are under stress, the chakras can get clogged with heavy, unwanted energies. When this happens we can feel stuck, tired, run down, mentally foggy, and overly emotional. Simply cleansing the chakras can help to clear out these stuffy, unwanted energies and allow the chakras to function optimally once more.

I’ve listed three easy steps below to help you determine whether your chakras are blocked and how to clear them:

Creating Awareness

A tiny seed of Truth is found in every human being. Similarly to the seed of a tree, the tiny seed contains great potential. If the spiritual Seeker protects and nourishes that tiny seed, it will grow into the mighty tree of Truth. But it can only protect and nourish it, if it’s aware of its existence. How can the spiritual seeker realize this and how can the Truth be revealed?

The World of Forms and Shapes

A lot of people are unaware of this, and they try to find the Truth outside themselves, in the world of forms and shapes, wishing to make forms eternal. So the modest little seed in us stays dormant, waiting for better times. The better times come when the spiritual Seeker realizes that all the external shapes and forms are transitory, so they turn their attention from the world of shapes to the internal world. Under the effect of turning inward, the small seed begins to sprout, and it starts slowly growing. I revitalizes the spiritual Seeker, and a deep desire arises in them to see the flower that the small seed may become.

As world leaders gather in Paris to discuss a future free from Ecocide, researchers report the biggest mass whale death known to science.

In the most shocking case of mass animal deaths to date, 337 endangered Sei whales have been found dead in Southern Chile.

According to Chilean news agencies. the whales were discovered by scientists on November 17, but only now has the mass death been reported to the authorities (and leaked to the press). In May, in the same part of the Aysen region, biologist Vreni Haussermann discovered 30 dead Sei whales. Baffled scientists suggested at the time that the deaths might have been caused by a virus, and promised to launch an investigation.

It is easy to get distracted by the busyness of the holiday season. It can be quite a demanding month for many of you, with preparations for your family celebrations, the winter solstice, the influx of Christed energies that occurs on Christmas, as well as shifting into the energies of a new year. Remember that it is through your alignment that you recharge your energetic batteries, so to speak.

Stop. Breathe. Connect. Consciously choose to see the love, the magic that abounds during this time. Make an intention to surrender into the flow of joy and love that is always available to you. Ask us for assistance, for that is what we are here for. You have done such a magnificent job with all you have accomplished during this pivotal and very accelerated year. We encourage you to take a moment to celebrate yourself as a vital part of all, and to choose to cherish the Now moments you have been so instrumental in creating. ~Archangel Gabriel

The Universe designed you to be perfect, not ‘parts’ to be dissected and liked/disliked at will. Be accepting of your whole self…all of you. ~ Creator

God said:

The Art of Sharing frees you. No question, sharing frees you from blockages. Blockages come from the past, the imagined past, the past as you saw it and felt it, true or not.

You were born from Heaven. The state of Heaven has no blocks. Earth, however, sets up plenty of blocks. On Earth, you may storehouse blocks and hold on to them, hesitant to be without the brace of them.

Life on Earth is about removing restraints. Life opens you up to greater expression and greater realization.

A sense of discomfort in sharing comes from fear huddled on Earth. What are you afraid of? Restraint from sharing, for any reason you conjure, comes from fear of something. What are you afraid of? Loss of protection from what? Fear that someone somehow somewhere will take advantage of you? What fears do you hold close lest you are left bereft?

You do not have to be all things to all people. You want to be the sovereign of your own life. You want to go by your own heart. You are living your life. If you feel you have to hang on, you will hoard and stint. You want to be sure you have enough.

You don’t want to live life unwillingly. You don’t want to live from obligation, for obligation doesn't feel good to you.
