The Gifts of Sacred Feminine Energy

Within each of us lies a diamond that represents Divine Feminine Energy, the Goddess, with many facets that represent her aspects which have been given names by many differenct cultures throughout time and across the world. Sacred feminine energy brings with it gifts of intuition, nurturing and artistic expression and has been a powerful force to be tapped into since the beginning of time. You can call on these benevolent female aspects that represent the facets of you to teach you and to express through you. All of the Goddesses reside within you; all are a part of who you are.

When they appear in your life or in your awareness, look for what they are calling forth from you. Each Goddess or aspect of the greater One embodies characteristics, both strengths and weaknesses, which play out in our lives. Some are very apparent in the part of us that expresses ourselves to the world; others remain hidden or outside of our awareness. By focusing your attention on a specific one, you can discover the lessons to be learned and receive gifts that will serve you and move you toward wholeness. Integrating all these parts of you brings great healing and power.

Divine Feminine Energy is all about creativity, the creative force which lies within us, calling out to be expressed through our unique gifts and desires in a way that it cannot exist from any other source but that which is expressing itself as You. Right now, today, is your life creatively rich or creatively void?

Within every woman are three parts of the Goddess; Maiden, Mother, and Matriarch or Crone. It is important to express each of these three parts daily. This helps create balance between work, play and relationships. Spend time each day expressing all three characteristics and notice how much more energized and balanced you feel. Is one of these missing in your life right now? Going unexpressed?

Open yourself to the world of the Goddesses, to the Divine Feminine Energy which lies within you. Allow these aspects to speak to you. Listen with your Soul.

Thank you to Doreen Virtue and her Angel Therapy Oracle Cards for this powerful reminder today!

Blessings, joy and always HOPE,
Di and Michelle

Attaching and Letting Go, Creating in the Void

Recently, my husband, Roger, painted a picture which he calls, The Magdalene Reaching. As I sat with this painting and asked it to speak to me, I was taught much. The Magdalene carries on her face an expression of both the greatest grief and the greatest ecstasy, all in the same breath. She is at once reaching for her Lord, her Love, and at the same time letting go.

This is what we are called to do; attach and let go. A dynamic process that creates energy and flow, never stagnant. It is within this space that one finds true bliss. The Magdalene, in her humanness, gives way to her feelings and emotions, experiences her desires, reaches for what she wants, and then creates the space for life to happen, for Spirit to join with human in this creative process, in this dance, and lets go of the outcome to allow what is meant to be simply to be. It is a delicate balance, this way. Of being. Of experiencing life. It is in the moment of surrender between the attaching and the letting go that the zero point exists, the event horizon, the void in which all is possible and creations are made manifest.

In this painting, The Magdalene Reaching, the moment her hand extends toward her desire, the fingers are already loosening, the palm outstretched, the arm first moving out, expanding and then retreating, contracting, stopping briefly in that place between the two, the place where there is neither attachment to outcome, nor force, nor resistance, and miracles are allowed to happen. Spirit is there. Meet It.

Today, I find harmony in just such a place. I attached, I let go. I reach out toward my next desire, my next attachment, yet my fingers are loosening already, my palm outstretched. I am meeting Spirit in the void and allowing miracles to happen.

Be Conscious. Be Very, Very Conscious!

This part of me living this life as Michelle Barr in McKinney, Texas finds herself fresh from wading through the healing waters of the Gulf of Mexico to wading through her current life, working through many challenges. Assessing and reassessing things and listening, lots of listening to God and to her Higher Self, her Inner Voice.

Don’t we sometimes feel it would be nice to be on permanent vacation? And yet, to much degree, we have the ability to create these ideals in our everyday lives, the choice to live an ordinary life or to live an extraordinary life. You are ALWAYS either consciously or unconsciously creating everything in your life. Understanding the energy of this and consciously working with it is the key.

I was reminded while on this much-needed and much-overdue vacation that it’s all about the living, really, and living to create moment after moment of joy. Idealistic? Yes! Possible? Yes! Start small. Just start by creating one moment of joy for yourself today, right now. And then another... Be generous to yourself. Do you know how? Do you have time? Can you imagine?

Who is this part of you that is living this life here and now in this time and space, this unique aspect of the Divine expressing itself in physical 3-D form? Find out. Find out now. And then, knowing who this is, the next step is getting really clear about what you need and desire and what exists within you that can be healed and cleared out so that you can live the fullest expression of you, the greatest version of your Highest vision. From God, Source, expressing itself outward into time and space, into this reality, to your Higher Self, to the you that YOU are. You are connected ALWAYS. You are expressing ALWAYS. You are creating ALWAYS, everything in your life.

Be conscious. Be very, very conscious.

"The Book of Love" and the Truth about the Labyrinth

I am reading an excellent book right now, The Book of Love, by Kathleen McGowan. This is the sequel to The Expected One. These books are written as fiction, but are they? Or is there truth in them, truth that many of us are coming to remember?

I especially love a part of this book I was reading yesterday. It’s about the labyrinth and its true but obscured origins and meanings. We have one in McKinney, where I live, and this amazing Goddess I know discovered it, cleaned it up with the help of some other wonderful women, and she has become the keeper of the labyrinth. She walks it almost every day, and it has transformed her. And she is always taking others out there to share the experience with them.

This is particularly meaningful to me, as the labyrinth really began appearing over the past year to both my husband and I repeatedly and with great synchronicity, and I am paying attention.

Here it is again, in this book I am reading.

Reflect on this:

“There is only one way in, Matilda. Although the pathways make many turns, if you stay true to your path, you will never get lost. This is the first lesson of the labyrinth. Walk with purpose toward the center, for you know that God awaits you there. And even when the winding paths feel as if they are taking you far away from the center, you must always have faith that the path will take you back again. This is like life. It is this faith that will bring you to your destination of finding God every time and without fail. Most of what I will teach you about the labyrinth is really very simple. For the truth is always simple…” -- The Book of Love, Kathleen McGowan

I encourage you to read these books, and I encourage you to discover the labyrinth and take a walk along this magical maze “where no one ever got lost and everyone found God at the center.” Discover the joy in the labyrinth, and the freedom!

Underneath the Christ Moon Tonight

Tonight, a group of my good friends will be gathering out at Toad Hill in Texas to celebrate the Christ Moon. The Christ moon celebration is also known as World Invocation Day. Every awakened heart will receive a conscious influx of Light, Love, and Spiritual Power on this day dedicated to Love, The Cosmic Birther. A ceremonial purification around the Medicine Wheel will be performed using sage, sweet-grass and cedar, followed by a group meditation, and water blessing ceremony. They will then say the Great Invocation together, declaring their intent of embodying the Christ Consciousness through The Collective Voice.

Join them in Spirit as I will be doing by saying the Great Invocation tonight under the Christ Moon.

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where illusion dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

What is IT?

If you’ve been hanging around the internet lately, subscribing to metaphysical blogs and newsletters, or frequenting one of the growing multitude of spiritual Meetup groups, you have probably been privy to a discussion about “ascension.”

So? Just what exactly is IT?

IT is the spiritual transformation of the Earth, oh yeah, and us along with it.

The Catholic Church tells us that Ascension is the elevation of Christ into heaven. Master Jesus Himself tells us, “You can do these things and more,” and will we ever! This is exciting, blow-your-mind stuff! This special time of Ascension is a long-predicted evolutionary leap for Earth. How about you? Ready to take your own leap? Now is the best time, since you’ll be piggy-backing on Mother Earth herself and have the full support of all who dwell in the Heavens.

An opportunity exists now.

The Divine plan for Earth.

The Di Vine plan for me.

Shall we?


Next: “Those pesky ascension symptoms…”


Thought for the Day:

Do not believe anything because it is said by an authority, or if it is said to come from angels, or from Gods, or from an inspired source.

Believe it only if you have explored it in your own heart and mind and body and found it to be true.

Work out your own path, through diligence.
