With the excitement and inspiration for the powerful conducive energies of 2012 (and beyond), I've been riding an awesome wave of exhilaration lately. It's been shining out through my music, inspirational card readings, and the rose coloured lens I've been seeing life through. 

It amazes me that my yearning sets amazing waves of creative energy into motion. I'm learning that sometimes before the wave is ready to come in, it has to ebb first...

Last night I went to a NYE gathering but ended up walking home not long  after arriving, as a wave of sensitivity hit me and all I could do was surrender. I walked home alone in the Montreal night with so many tears, so much intense emotion. I felt everything so deeply, including strangers singing "Nobody Else But You" by Kimya Dawson. 

This is part of having an open heart; deep sensitivity.  I've been surfing this wave of unexpected emotions, knowing they're watery energy in motion, cleansing and softening my heart. Even in my dreams last night I was crying, crying, crying... Not only in the dreams but I woke up with big fat tears dropping from my eyes. 

At the core of this sadness is a deep loneliness. When I'm happy & energized I can easily connect with most people, and love to inspire. But when I'm feeling more watery, my intense sensitivity makes it challenging to be around people who I'm not intimate with. Over the years I've learned how to self-nurture, with hot chocolate, writing in my journal, watching movies, having baths, being cozy, playing music or making art if I feel like it. Now I'm realizing that as my heart opens more and my sensitivity expands, I really need support. My cup is being deepened so that I will really appreciate a nurturing partner one day. 

I'm trusting my heart, knowing it has wisdom beyond my mind. As I continue to listen to it, it will lead me to everywhere I need to be. Although this is an uncomfortable ebb, I know there is always a flow right after. The o c e a n taught me that. <3

P.S. Here is a song video I posted yesterday...

This morning I woke up feeling heavy, deep, dark emotions. This darkness is my friend. When I look it in the eye and acknowledge it as a living energy, I discover it has wisdom to offer. Right now even though it's beautiful and sunny outside, my heart is swimming in a pool of emotion, sinking down into the unknown. Writing allows me to chart the treasures I find in the depths... 

I really feel the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Last night I ate sushi for dinner and rented some Japanese movies, to connect with the energy and send compassionate strength. We are all connected. As I watched video footage online of Mother Earth's catharctic cleansing, my heart felt a rush of emotion as powerful as the water washing away houses, cars, refineries, entire lives of loving people. The sight of oil refineries in water and exploding in flames was a bit too close to home, as they looked like the refineries in my hometown. 

Those of us who are awake within this dream ~ souls in this physical life experience ~ know that we are living in an intense, challenging time that will continue to unfold as the old destructive ways of being are washed away by Mother Earth as she reclaims her body and soul. The beauty of these earth changes is that they wake us up to why we're here, how we can be happy, and how we can learn to live in harmony with eachother and Mother Earth. 

They key to harmony is listening. Listening to the melody someone else is singing, feeling it in the heart, and as it resonates within, opening up to the natural complementary vibration or harmony. The challenge of harmony is listening to the voices around while staying true to the voice within. Harmony is acknowledging the connectedness of all beings. Harmony is supporting others without ego as we create a song infinitely more beautiful together than we could alone. Listening to others, ourselves, and the energies of Mother Earth and Spirit is what will carry us safely forward through these changing times.

Yesterday I was invited to play songs for a group of interesting people of the Spiritualist faith, which includes channeling and communicating with loved ones who have crossed over. I love playing for receptive people who understand and appreciate the spirit of what I sing. Afterwards my friend said she'd love to sing with me, to learn to harmonize from the heart. This reminded me of my aspiration to lead singing workshops, focusing on inner and outer harmony. I've led a few before but am enthused about the future workshops... 

Singing can help us tune into our hearts and the wisdom of our souls, as it quiets the mind and opens the heart. This connection is what will help us be at the right place and the right time throughout the earth changes. 



Love & Strength ~

P.S. A song of mine above, lately I feel like these songs are becoming more and more relevant to what's happening in the world. They've always been relevant to me but now I feel more people will understand and feel them.

 
I made it through the wilderness... I'm nearing the end of my program at Homewood Heath Center, where I've found the space, time, and support I needed to dive into the issues from my past that were holding me back from living my best life. Healing my depression related to childhood sexual abuse has been intense, revealing so much emotional wisdom and opportunity to evolve. When the feelings were the most intense and painful, MUSIC is what soothed and healed me.

I now have a new album of songs to share... Songs of healing, love, and power. I did a few concerts for people here who are also on the healing path, and it was a powerful and spiritually nourishing experience to share the fruits of my journey, the same fruits that have healed and supported me during this time of evolution. I know that these songs can share the vibration of healing energy, compassion, self-love, wisdom, and empowerment ~ much-needed medicine. I'm really excited to share these songs with the world.

I've come to a place of forgiveness, understanding, and moving onto bigger & better ways of loving, living, and healing. I have found so much strength and power within myself. I do not need or wish to point the finger of blame or shame, however I will always honour my scars. I no longer define myself as a victim, instead I know how these wounds have been the catalyst for a revolution within myself ~ to discover true love, sacred sexuality, and my righteous (babe)  power.

A new chapter of my life begins Tuesday, when I'm moving to Peterborough, Ontario. I have some divine soul sisters there and feel good about the opportunities on the horizon. I feel like I will always be a traveling gypsy but am looking forward to spending quality time in Peterborough...

Peace, Love, and Respect ~*
