My Celtic Goddess Journey Unveiled

A few days before I left the States for my goddess journey to Ireland, I had an important download from my ancestors. I was supposed to listen to a recorded call from my Year of Miracles program that dealt specifically with ancestral clearing and forgiveness. It was a call done by energy worker John Newton, and it was fantastic. He created a specific and powerful forgiveness prayer that encompasses every negative thought, emotion, word, or action and clears it from ourselves and our ancestors. That's my kind of clearing! As I listened to it, I knew that I was supposed to print it, bring it with me on my trip, and use it while I was in Ireland. And so I did. That little piece of paper was more powerful and energy-shifting than I could have possibly imagined.

My first stop in Ireland was at Glendalough in the Wicklow Mountains (above photo) and it was sunny! (It was actually sunny and warm for almost 2 weeks! The famous "heat wave" of Ireland). It is a well-preserved ancient Celtic Christianity site founded by St. Kevin in the 6th Century. It includes one of the best examples of the round tower (with a roof) built by the ancient monks, a church, graveyard, and other buildings from the monastic settlement.

I walked through the museum explaining the history of the settlement and was very saddened to hear that it had been burned, attacked, and pillaged numerous times throughout history, and many records were lost and monks were killed in the process. One of the most ferocious of the attacks came from the Vikings, which I found to be common everywhere I went throughout Ireland. As I read about the Viking attacks, it was like an illuminated light bulb went on over my head. I was getting direct revelation of how my goddess journey was to unfold, and I KNEW what I had to do.

I walked outside to the site, put my hands on the stones of the round tower and "asked" the stones to tell me their stories and show me images from their past. As expected, the energy that I felt and the images I saw were heavy and sad and wanted to be cleared. I pulled out my forgiveness prayer and read it aloud with the intention of clearing all negative feelings and energies resulting in the interactions between the Vikings and monks, and anything else that needed clearing. Amazing!! So THIS is what a Celtic goddess healing journey can look like! This was also the closest thing to 'time traveling' that I'd ever done, and it was thrilling!

After I read the prayer and did the clearing, I put my hands on the stones again and gave thanks to God and all high vibration beings who helped me in the healing. The energy I felt was so much lighter and beautiful, and the magical qualities of this ancient place of faith were able to shine through and overwhelm me to tears.

I sat on the grass and put my hands on the blessed land of Ireland and had an intense few minutes of connection and gratitude as I anticipated the powerful undertakings about to transpire. Ireland and I would be one, and I would be a key player in healing centuries of pain, death, and darkness that this country has suffered under. I was almost speechless. I'm just one individual from a far away place myself, but here I was back in the lands of my ancestry where time stands still, and I was providing this much needed and all-important healing work. I was humbled, excited, and totally blown away. WOW.

I knew that history has seen many others who have been called to Ireland to do similar things, and now I would be joining the ranks of all Celtic pilgrims, saints, and healers, who are all my heroes. But for me, it was also hitting a personal note, since I would be a part of the healing for my very own Irish ancestors. My friends, when you talk about following your bliss, making a difference, leaving a legacy, and becoming one with God, I just can't think of a better way to spend your days than doing what I was about to do! And just like the word featured in the photo above, this would be a powerful journey indeed.

My Grand Entry into Ireland- the Miraculous Tale

It's hard to believe, but the "official" goddess journey year has come to an end. That went really fast and was FULL of amazing adventures, lessons, miracles, magic, and awakenings. I loved it!! I returned from my 6 weeks of traveling through Ireland (pictured above) and Israel earlier this month and now it's time to embark on the next phase of my goddess path, which I will explain in later posts.

In late April, after 3 days of trying to fly standby and being awake for 60 straight hours, I finally arrived on Irish soil. I thought the hard part was over, but no!

I was detained at immigration for about 30 harrowing, nail-biting minutes being interrogated as to why I didn't have a work visa nor travel insurance since I was going to work on a farm. In my defense, I am a very rule-abiding person and I researched the circumstances I would have beforehand and was convinced I would need neither a work visa nor insurance. Nor did the woman I was staying with inform me I needed them, and she had had many people come help her for years, so she was experienced. I was sure I was following Irish laws, but apparently I misunderstood. I sincerely apologized to the officer, and asked if I could get a work visa and insurance on the spot, and was told no, very meanly. Panic started to settle in.

The immigration officer called the woman I would be staying with and basically chewed her out, told her that she and I were purposefully deceiving him, made some notes in his computer on her (uh oh!), and told her the bad news: I would not be admitted entrance into Ireland and would be on the next plane back to the States.

WHAT?! Heart attack time. I couldn't believe that I was being treated like some dangerous criminal or something. (He was really quite harsh with me). My mind just couldn't process what was happening. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. I have been traveling my whole life, and this was the first time anything like this had ever happened. The dark forces really didn't want me to complete this goddess journey, and they were fighting hard!

I addressed Heavenly Mother calmly, "Heavenly Mother?? If you really want me to undertake this goddess journey, now would be an excellent time for a miracle. Just saying..."

Then I quickly made the decision to accept whatever happened, knowing it would be in my highest good. That meant accepting the potential loss of thousands of dollars already spent on my travel arrangements for the next six weeks. That meant accepting the fact that I had just spent 3 days trying to get to Ireland, and it was for nothing, and I'd have to fly back home empty-handed. That meant losing my flight benefits on the airline I flew on (or so immigration told me). And that meant sadly and tragically, that this goddess journey that I, and my ancestors, had been planning and anticipating for an entire year was not to be. That's a lot to accept in 30 seconds, but I knew I had to surrender it all. (Thanks to previous lessons on my goddess journey!)

Then I heard Heavenly Mother speak to me. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. All is perfect."

Suddenly the immigration officer changed his mind out of nowhere. WHAT?! He said that he would let me into Ireland if I would promise to get travel insurance immediately and that next time I came to work on a farm in Ireland, I would get a work visa. Then he took my picture (I was wearing my shocked face) with his official camera (because I was obviously a threat to the nation of Ireland) and waved me on while I thanked him and wore my deer in the headlights look. Thank you! Wait, what just happened?

What had happened is that I had just witnessed a miracle take place before my very eyes. Wow. A part of me wondered if this was really happening or if it was some elaborate trap to set me up or something. It was all too bizarre. #twilightzonethoughts

I wanted to cry. I wanted to fall to my knees on that cold hard tile floor under those harsh fluorescent lights where photos aren't allowed, and pour my heart out to God in thankful cathartic sobs for what just happened. I had been surrounded by darkness and it definitely appeared they were going to win, but the light had won in the end! Huzzah! Praises be to God Almighty for miracles!

It was hard not being able to share this with anyone in that moment, but at least God knew my heart, and my overwhelming, sincere gratitude. I sat down on the ground and as tears rolled down my cheeks, I breathed sighs of relief, grounded myself, and said silent prayers of relief and thankfulness until I gained my composure, which was easier said than done. I had been ultimately rocked to the core, but I heard my inner voice tell me, it was all in the name of raising to higher levels and vibrations.

Then I pulled out my laptop and bought travel insurance for the duration of my time in Ireland. I am a woman of my word. Then I emailed my farm host and told her I was coming after all, details to follow.

I picked up my baggage, an Irish sim card, some Euro, and my car rental, learned really quickly how to drive on the the left side of the road for the first time, activated my life-saving gps on my phone, prayed I could stay awake and alert for the next 12 hours and...

...let the adventures unfold... Helloooooooo Ireland!!!

To be continued...

My Year of Miracles

 

Well once again 3 months have gone by since I've written a post and a lot has happened during that time! Here are some highlights:

1. My 'WASSAP' trip around the world got canceled because (despite my pristine credit) I didn't get approved for the loan I needed. When I prayed about why that is, I got the answer that a spiritual journey like this needs to be funded from something higher than a bank. And also since I have no debt energy around me, a loan just doesn't fit with my vibration. Well well, although these things make sense, I was devastated for a few days. Then I was inspired to whittle the trip down to just 2 countries, the 2 that had been calling me in the first place: Ireland and Israel. So if all goes well I'll take off in May for about 6 weeks! AND I will be using my 'Spiritual Journey Fund' of cash which I've been saving for the past 9 months that will cover my expenses. It's my spiritual journey piggy bank, and it's time to bust it open!

2. I moved to San Diego! After living in Salt Lake City for 3 amazing years, my heart told me to move on. I now live 25 minutes from the beach pictured above, which I have visited several times and is always a place of deep healing and therapy for me. I never would have guessed the symphony of elements on a beach would call to me in such a profound way. My move was temporary at first, but after being here for 2 months now, I have decided I want to live here permanently. At the same time, I honor and thank Utah for helping me become the person I am today. It was nothing short of transformative.

3. I started a year long program for 2015 called "Your Year of Miracles", which has been amazing. This is what I want to focus on in this post. This is more vulnerable than I've gotten with my personal life before, but this feels like the subject I'm drawn to write about now.

Beginning in January, participants in this program were to focus on 3 'miracle intentions' they'd like to see manifest during 2015. The group mentors said that this year is especially powerful for manifesting miracles and I'm already feeling it! It wasn't hard at all to come up with my 3. Two of them are miracle intentions that I've been wanting to manifest basically my whole life. The third one is something I've been wanting since last summer. Here they are:

1. Be married to the love of my life, the beautiful perfect man for me.

2. Be pregnant with our first child.

3. Have perfect health, but especially a totally healed shoulder and other specific areas that need help.

I would say that I have very good health, but my shoulder has been a mystery to me. It seems that I woke up one day last summer and all of the sudden, I felt like my shoulder had sustained a mysterious injury. I was baffled. I couldn't (and still can't) move it up or back without serious pain. It was like it was suddenly frozen, and I felt partially disabled. Things that I could do so easily without thinking (put on a seat belt, get dressed etc) were now tedious and painful chores. Humbling to say the least. I've done everything I could think of to help my poor shoulder, from energy work to releasing trapped emotions, to every herbal remedy I could find. Nothing has helped, and in fact, over the months, it has gotten worse. 

Thankfully, I finally 'talked' to my shoulder to find out what it's trying to teach me and I have gotten some direction, which I'm now actively working on. It's very complex and perhaps even multidimensional (past life?), and I don't know how long the healing will take. But this is why it got on my 'miracle intentions' list, because I definitely want a miracle of healing, and I'm already seeing the beginnings of such.

Now to address miracle intention 1 and 2. We are all looking for life of joy and fulfillment. Each of us feels fulfilled in different ways. For some, this is found through becoming a famous motivational speaker who has written tons of books. For others, it's through working with at-risk youth, and the list goes on and on. Then there are those of us, like myself, that know without a doubt that the only true fulfillment for me is being married to my beloved partner and together raising a family with God and Christ at our center. This is something I couldn't deny, even if I wanted to.

I've never felt complete fulfillment or joy from my careers (although some have definitely been better than others, and have taught me a lot!), and to be honest, I've never felt I fit in to the work world very well. I love traveling more than anything, but when I come back home after 1 or 2 weeks, that familiar emptiness greets me at my door and I know I've only succeeded in temporarily filling the void with that amazing vacation. (But I always love the vacation!) I do love service, in fact 'acts of service' is one of my love languages, but my heart yearns to serve within my own family unit as well. What it comes down to is that at my core, I know I am not complete, and until I am together with my husband and children, I will be continually striving for this blessing of fulfillment. And because I choose to listen to my heart, I know it's leading me in the right direction for my highest good.

That isn't to say that I'm not happy, because I'm blissfully happy and I love my life and myself. I'm grateful for all the miraculous abundance in my life in all forms, and I acknowledge God's hand in all of it. I just happen to know that God intended more for me, and I look forward to that chapter in my life. Why not start that chapter in 2015? Why not manifest these miracles this year? I say, let's do it!

Fortunately I have learned great patience in my wait for my partner, and I have also learned how to trust, let go of expectations, and truly learn to love single life and be happy in the present moment instead of wrongly assuming that something "in the future" will make me happy. Especially in the past few years, I have had the opportunity to explore my spiritual gifts and goddess self only because I'm single, so I'm eternally grateful for this beyond words! The time and lessons I've had as a single person have been invaluable, perfect, and show the wisdom of an omniscient, merciful God. I am sincere when I say I wouldn't trade my single years for anything, and I love them, honor them, and I am deeply grateful for them.

But I'm ready for a change...

I'm ready to take on brand new challenges and learn new lessons (relationship, marriage, children, family), grow together with someone in every possible way, serve within a family, and feel and give that "true love" that we all desire. I'm ready to show God and the universe that I've learned every single lesson I was supposed to learn as a single person and now I'm prepared to show my stuff within a unified partnership and family. I'm ready to take it to the next level and fulfill my life's purpose, which I've known since I was a little girl. I'm ready to become goddess Rebecca on a new playing field, with just a few more players added. :) 

This is my year of miracles, and it's your year of miracles too!! We are all connected in beautiful powerful ways. Let the love and miracles be abundant between us all as we all live the lives of our dreams.

The Burning Fires of Celtic Faith

 

I have a fun update on my round-the-world trip name: it's WASSAP. That is an acronym standing for Worldwide Adventure- Sacred Spiritual Altruistic Pilgrimage. How cool is that?! I got a little help from Heavenly Mother on that one. :) And I actually laughed out loud because it's so ME! "Whazzup?" haha.

So far 2 countries on my list have really spoken to me, really called out to me saying, "Dive into our rich spiritual waters." These countries are Israel and Ireland. 

Israel is calling to me because I want to walk where Jesus walked. I want to experience the Holy Land by going back in time to the Savior's time, and feeling of that sacred energy and transformation in His sanctified holy land. In fact, it was a reference to the Holy Land at church that was one of my big signs that this trip needs to happen for sure.

Ireland is calling to me because of my noble, Celtic, God-intoxicated, spiritual/literal ancestry. (Yes, I know the Celts didn't only live in Ireland, but this is where my ancestors lived). I didn't even realize how connected Israel and Ireland were until last night when I was reading the book pictured above. I've read a lot of books during my goddess journey, and several of them have moved me deeply. But not until last night did I break out into full sobs because I was so overwhelmed with intense power at the words I was reading and the feelings that overcame me.

It was one of those ah ha moments when I realized a beautiful connection (for me) between Israel and Ireland. To better explain this, let me tell you a little bit about the spiritual Celtic wanderer, which is thoroughly entrenched in my blood.

In the book Celtic Journeys by Steve and Lois Rabey, they describe the Celts' "inexhaustible urge to travel." This was inspired by their deep curiosity at the world God had made- their "innate yearning to explore the unknown, and to visit hallowed holy sites." They had a "divine calling to leave all that is known and familiar, to trust in the mercies of God, and to head out into the unknown and often untamed lands." So far this is sounding very familiar to my own desires and adventures.

In addition, the Celts had a strong desire to share their belief in God and Jesus with the world and expose everyone they could find to Christianity. Famous Celtic monks such as St. Brendan, Columba and others, set sail with lofty evangelist goals of heaven in their sails. In 1977, it was proved that St. Brendan could have quite possibly been the very first to land on the modern day American continent, long before the Norsemen or Christopher Columbus. We're going way back here folks, to around the year 550.

Some of the current divine Celtic books I'm reading now.

In the book The Path of Celtic Prayer, it is explained that "the Celt was very much a God-intoxicated man." I loved how beautifully Calvin Miller describes the Celtic faith of fervor. It's just so inspiring!! I was surprised that I cried so hard at reading these words, but you just never know when you're going to be especially moved:

"This narcotic state of heart is indeed intoxicating. For when we have drunk deeply of the nature of God, there is born within us a God-thirst that can never be slaked by any lesser stream. The Celts of the sixth century also believed that Jesus was coming soon, and their expectation of the second coming created a faith of great vitality. 

...Our failure to perceive Christ's imminent return as our "blessed hope" have contributed to our feelings of separateness from God. What of our blasé contentment with things as they are, Christless and self-managed? The Celts found God no casual diversion. They were too needy to talk about spiritual things over tea cups and pastries.

As with much of Europe, the world was always falling down around them. In desperate times, living becomes an altar where you pray and sing because the only good news of the day is that God lives longer than you do. And God promises you that even if your days are few, your dying is not a wall, but a set of gates. Even now the Celtic embers of spirituality are catching fire all around us. 

But a blazing church is not what most people find when they go to a typical worship service today. Disinterest, sparse attendance, and boredom are more common. Such spiritual lethargy was not the nature of Celtic trust. Vitality- flame and gale- was the heart of the Celtic faith. This is both the practice and the hope of all that is being born in current Celtic revival. From the Spirit's breath a new kind of worship is once again rising out of ancient devotion. The Celtic way born long ago in the cold, dank Hebrides Islands stirs anew."

 I think what really touched me and brought on the tears is how the Celts got it. They understood what faith and spirituality really meant. (Unlike the spiritually dead vibe I feel in so many church meetings I attend). Instead of just desiring to close the gap on the separateness between ourselves  and God, they DID it! They understood that Christ was the center, THE good news of the day (every day!) the hope of life, the foundation.

They understood the power of alignment with Oneness. They knew at their core that God is everything and everywhere and is to be praised continually and daily. Long before the Celts even became Christian, they had a profoundly sacred spiritual connection with nature, and honored and revered her sacred powers unlike any other group of people have ever done. 

They understood that a spiritual journey takes place not only within oneself, but literally too, in far-flung unknown places of the world, truly connecting with its exotic four corners. They were willing, and compelled, to leave their homes to undertake long, dangerous, exciting journeys in the name of God that also expanded their Highest Selves. (Sounds a lot like a goddess journey, yes?)

I felt a surge of pride knowing these were my people, and because of that, they get me. It's in my blood!! Maybe they're even reading my blog, smiling knowingly. They get why I feel this strong desire to go travel the world on this spiritual pilgrimage, return to my 'homeland',  feel that energized magical Celtic soil between my toes, and renew that unique spiritual connection that can only feed the deepest parts of the soul. They get why I literally need to walk where Jesus walked in Israel, why I need to be there and see, feel, hear, smell, and breathe it all in myself, and not just read about it.

As I read the passage, did I have a few tears of regret that today I, and others, have lost touch with the burning Celtic flame of faith? Yes. I wept bittersweet tears, both of sadness that I somehow have not lived up to my incredible Celtic spiritual legacy, but also of hope that there's still time to redeem myself. In fact, I hope to spend some good quality time in Ireland, hopefully in the area of my ancestors, working on a farm, rekindling every possible Celtic flame I can light. And I intend to listen to everything my ancestors and their sacred land want to teach me.

Answering the Call

 

The above photo is me at Machu Picchu about a year ago. It was the first time I combined travel with a spiritual purpose, and I loved it! I went with a group of powerful women goddesses, participated in healing earth grid ceremonies with a Peruvian shaman, and felt the intense spiritual energy and power of this sacred place fill my veins. It was life-changing for many reasons. I was hooked.

Next year I will be doing a similar type of journey, but on a much, much bigger scale. But first a little background as to how this came about.

One reason I haven't written for 2 months is that it's been a very confusing, straining, stressful time of upheaval and growth. Helloooo, goddess path! One day I had a job, and the next day I didn't. Not because I was fired or quit, but because the FDA caused my friend's business (whom I work for) to shut down. It's a long story, but it was so unexpected (to both of us), I spent a few days in shock, a few days in deep depression, and a few days feeling intense anger. Then came the confusion and the question I can't stand most of all: "What am I going to do now?"

The great/difficult thing about losing your job, or experiencing any other major life change, whether planned or unplanned, is that you REALLY get to reevaluate what you truly want to be doing. I asked myself that question, and much to my chagrin, did not get an answer for a few weeks. I somewhat patiently waited for the enlightenment I wanted while making it the intention of my meditation. I actively looked for signs from God, angels, and the Universe daily, knowing they would have to reveal their secrets to me at some point.

I started realizing that I wasn't really asking "what job should I get?", and I wasn't even worried about getting a job because I knew that would work out perfectly. Throughout my entire life, I have been blessed with jobs so easily, it's almost laughable. My desires were deeper than just how I was going to earn a living. I needed to know how I was going to make a difference, how I was going to find meaning, and how I was going to be blissfully happy with this gift of life. Basically all the questions that started me on my goddess path to begin with. Aaaaand we have come back to the beginning.

One day I was sitting on my porch in the usual confusion about where I should put my energies, and a thought came to me: "What would you do if money and time were no issue, and all limitations were lifted? Think big. Think dreams. What would you do?" I thought about it, and what came was: "I would take a trip literally around the world combining humanitarian work, several spiritual pilgrimages, and connecting with Gaia and my brothers and sisters in all corners of the globe." BAM!! Thinking big enough?? I was sooo not expecting that answer!

At first I dismissed the idea as a 'real' possibility, because obviously that's crazy, right? Well one thing I've learned is to listen to the inspiration you receive, take it seriously, and sometimes the craziest ideas are the right ones.

But I needed a little proof. I asked for some confirmation that this was really the answer that I've been waiting for, and really what direction I should be taking. Long story short- I got it, and it knocked my socks off. Sooo....here goes nothing!

About the time that my "official" documentation of my goddess path is supposed to end (next May), I will embark on a 5 month worldwide humanitarian/spiritual journey!! Whoa! (This is of course unless God decides to change my life course once again. Flexibility is the name of the game). 

I will continue to work a little bit on my trusty laptop while I'm out adventuring, bringing in a little money, but for the most part, my life will take on entirely new smells, sights, sounds, experiences, and richness. I get to be completely immersed in the international, beautiful, magical tapestry of the world and her wonders. It will be an amazing energy exchange unlike anything I've ever known or could dream.

I haven't had much time to map out my course or do much planning at all other than get a rough estimate of costs and a general idea of countries I'd like to include on the journey. In order they are (so far): China, Japan (transit point), Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Tibet, Egypt, Israel, Romania, Turkey, Greece, Ireland, UK, Portugal, and Spain. That will probably change as I do more research. Some places I will stay in longer than others. I've already got plans to meet up with a couple people for 3-4 of the countries, so that's fantastic.

How does one prepare for a literal circumventing-of-the-world-adventure?? This is a HUGE undertaking that requires a lot of faith, trust, money, networking, miracles, patience, and flexibility. I also know it will be an experience of a lifetime never to be forgotten, that will present so many opportunities to stretch my goddess muscles, I should in fact come back a totally changed person. I don't really know what to expect, but I'm excited and nervous, and feeling like I'm preparing for the biggest, most intense, fun, crazy, breathtaking, and amazing roller coaster ride of my life.

Buckle up.

Birth and rebirth

This weekend I was blessed with another niece, and like all the rest of my nieces and nephews, she instantly melted my heart. It's been a very exciting time. I'm sure like all the other grandchildren in the family, she will be a joy and delight to all of us. Each of them brings a very special spirit of joy and innocence to our family, which I love.

This past week has been all about the babies! What better way to delve right into a journey into rebirth! In Dr. Weiss' book, Miracles Happen, that I'm reading, he states,

"Our bodies and our minds are the masks our real self- the soul- wears in the physical world. When we die, we remove our masks and we rest in our natural state. There is no disappearance, no oblivion. We simply take off our masks, our clothes, and other outer coverings, and we return home to the spiritual realms. Here we are renewed and restored. Here we reflect on the lessons of the life that we have just left. Here we are reunited with our soul companions across the centuries. Here we plan our next lifetime on the earth. When the time and circumstances are right, we don new masks- a baby's body and brain- and return to the physical state. With a refreshed energy and outlook, we continue learning our spiritual lessons until the need to reincarnate is no longer necessary. Then we can continue to help people to the other side. It is important to remember that we are the souls, not the masks."

One of my friends had a baby a few weeks ago and she told me that our psychic friend sensed that he (the baby) had not lived on this planet since the 1500s. So interesting. I wonder if he's been on other planets this whole time. If I hadn't lived on Earth for 500 years, I might think my reincarnating days are done. :) But not so! Here he is once again, with more lessons to learn. My friend also said that she senses her baby is already tired of being a baby again, being the old soul that he is. I totally believe that!

I believe that anyone who is choosing to become like a god or goddess will eventually get to the point when all the lessons are learned and we can progress into god/goddesshood. I have a feeling that I asked for many lives to experience everything under the sun, but sometimes I do wonder when my lessons will be done. Not in a 'hurry up' kind of way, just a curiosity kind of way. Is someone going to knock on my door one day and say, "Congratulations, you've learned all your lessons. Time to be a goddess."?

There was something else that I found very interesting in Dr. Weiss' book. This was the theory that one of his clients had about women who had had miscarriages somehow getting the trauma of that event stuck in their bodies. (Which I totally believe happens). This ultimately caused the next baby that they were pregnant with to be breech. This client would help the mother do a visualization to clear that energy and communicate that to the baby, reassuring the baby that all was well. In 100% of the cases, when the mother did this, the baby turned from breech to the correct position. I was pretty amazed at this. This could seriously help reduce the FAR too many C-sections that are performed right now!

This theory also hit a personal chord with me since I was born via a C-section because I was breech. Right before my mother got pregnant with me, she had a miscarriage. I now wonder if my mother had done this simple visualization, a C-section might not have been necessary. (There were no other factors involved in the doctor doing a C-section other than me being breech; my mother and I were both healthy and she was in her early 20s).

Other baby and fertility references this week... A few nights ago, I had a dream that I was taking care of a baby that wasn't my own. When I woke up, I recognized that baby dreams usually indicate something new, or change. This is fantastic because I'm definitely ready for some new fun adventures!

Also, a few different times during meditation this week, I saw things, (animals and flowers) which upon researching, I discovered were symbols of fertility. It's always fun to see things in meditation that I have no understanding of their symbolism to read about it later and find out all the magical things it means.  It's like a fun little game you can play every day while tapping into your own energy and seeing what's there that you need to discover more about that day.

Apparently I needed to have a lot of 'babies, fertility, and rebirth' put into my field this past week. It's been a unique experience for a woman who has never had a child, (in this life anyway), but is very connected to the children she knows will come. And I wonder what adventures my children-to-be have had in other eons and dimensions, or are currently having, until we get to meet in this lifetime. It will be exciting when that is revealed.

The Wheel of Life

 

This past week has been intense and beautiful! It has consisted of more past life regressions, revelations, and inspirations. I have been relishing Dr. Weiss' book and learning so much about healing from past life trauma. The Universe has been continually sending me signs that I'm on the right track on my journey. It's been amazing! One of my favorites was that I had a totally random reference to both the names of myself and my husband in my 1580 England life, the day after I did that past life regression. That was pretty wild little gem of a gift.

I did go ahead and try Dr. Weiss' past life regression video out on myself twice last week and was able to see glimpses of 2 lives I led, one in Japan and one in Hawaii. Although I don't know the dates of either one for sure, my guess is that the Japan lifetime was in the 1700s and the Hawaii lifetime was ancient. The main thing I have learned from Dr. Weiss is that merely having actual memories from your past lives (during regression) can heal you from past trauma. Who knew it was so simple? I love it.

In Dr. Weiss' video, at the end of the past life you witness, he has you imagine a spirit or entity conversing with you, bringing you whatever message comes to you. After my Hawaii life regression, I saw Goddess Pele talking to me, explaining that the main purpose of that lifetime was for me to get very well versed in the healing arts and adept at using the powers of nature. I definitely saw that I was very connected to the animals, beach, rocks, plants, volcanoes and everything around me. I played with energy and nature like they were my friends and it was a wondrous sight to behold. It was a rich life of beauty, community. and healing in the middle of paradise.

The next day I was doing meditation and the message came very clearly that I am supposed to acquire some blue obsidian. I had never heard of this color of obsidian, which assures me know that the message didn't come from me. In reading what blue obsidian symbolizes, I read about Pele, so there again was another reference confirming that my past life regressions were real. Incidentally, blue obsidian is the protection stone for sensitive or psychic people. It protects against negative energy, aids in telepathic skills, and is a great stone to use if exploring your own spiritual abilities. It also awakens the inner warrior and is very good for performing past life regression, where it can heal traumas and negative emotions from our past lives that we have been unable to release. 

In addition, I have had a few animals come to me during meditations this week, and in researching what the specific animal totem symbolizes, every one of them deals with either past lives, spiritual awakening, rebirth, expansion, or things of this nature. In every case, I was not aware of this when the animal came to my mind. I think the Universe wants to help me in every way it can with these past life healings!

Yesterday during church, reference was made to how Hindus believe in past lives and that in each one we attempt to achieve enlightenment. Although this is not something that is taught in my own faith, I thought it was extremely interesting that it would be mentioned yesterday of all days. Once again, this further confirmed that I am right on track with my spiritual path.

During my meditation today, I saw what looked like a bicycle wheel and the phrase that came to me was 'wheel of life', which name didn't have any specific significance for me. I knew that each spoke represented one of my past lives and they were all connected like the spokes of the wheel. On each spoke was a beautifully colored ribbon, which I knew represented a specific person designated to help me and teach me in that particular life, providing a depth and richness that no one else could give me.

In searching for a photo for this blog post, I googled 'past lives' and the image of the Bhavacakra was one of the first ones I saw. I was enchanted by its colors and intricate designs and clicked on it. I was completely amazed to find out that it is called "The Wheel of Life". What?? Holy cow, Universe, that's a good one! I had never heard about this painting before, but I knew immediately it was another sign for me, and definitely supposed to be the image for this post. In the painting, the six divisions in the third layer are six different types of rebirth, or samsara. Samsara is the process of cycling through one rebirth after another. Well fancy that, finding the absolute perfect photo for the past lives blog post that is connected to my meditation perfectly!

And one more little connection is that it just so happens that next spring I'm going to the Sera Monastery in Tibet where the above Wheel of Life painting resides. Sometimes the magical abundance in one's day is just too great for words. :)
