Did You See The Solar Eclipse Today?

A Ring of Fire Solar Eclipse happened today. Did you witness it? There are tons of photos all over the internet from people who captured this beautiful moment. The Solar Eclipse happened because the moon passed between the Sun and the Earth. Please let me know if you’re one of them as I’d love to hear about your experience! Unfortunately, due to cloud cover, I was unable to see it myself.

The Spiritual Meaning of today’s eclipse following the May 26th Lunar Eclipse has an emphasis on renewal, moving forward and starting fresh which, for many of us, is welcomed especially after all we went through in 2020. In other words, this annular Solar Eclipse could spark an awakening in all of us.

I find it fascinating that over the last few weeks I have been hearing from people in my life with whom I lost touch. In fact, there are those who often check in to my blog, even though we no longer speak, and I often wonder why – Curiosity? Sleuthing? Missing our friendship? I may never know the truth, but I want them to know that I am doing well and yes, I have known all along of their presence here.

I believe an awakening and the subsequent uncovering of truths is perfectly timed. As with an awakening comes the revelation of truths hidden for a long time. One can no longer hide behind falsehoods, nor versions of the truth. Empowerment increases when one chooses peace of mind and forgiveness.

Living in the present moment, loving what is and being grateful for the myriad of blessings we have is the key to happiness. Simple pleasures add up to an incredible life. When one sees beyond the static of superficiality, it is God’s grace that grows. Peace within allows us to sleep well. Holding sacred our loving relationships in this world is of utmost importance. Loving people, not things is a life lesson that awakens our ability to find peace during strife. Gratitude is a key component in finding inner peace. Unconditional love and acceptance grow in an awakened state. When we look back on these life lessons we will find that when we choose to live and let live, we grow our inner peace and radiate our heartlights at a higher frequency. We bond with others who are like-minded as the past drifts into nothingness.

Gratitude for the present moment and the blessings, big and small, which accompany it raises our life force and frequency levels. The hushed tones of the past no longer register in higher frequencies. We have moved forward in our journey with a continued loving heartlight and we now help others to shine again as well. That is our life purpose. We do not suffer in order t remain in a locked pattern of dismay. Rather, we choose to take these life lessons and help others along the way. We journey together and we are all connected. It is my understanding that there are those of us who are delivered hard lessons and are given the choices and resources to overcome such hardships in order to light the way for those who are in similar situations. When we remain open to help, angels appear to help us so that in turn we can help the next person. It is that ring of helping others along the ladder of life that grows exponentially when we choose to help and not hinder each person’s journey.

I am sending you all healing hugs today and always as we continue to shine our heartlights to help others to find their way. I am grateful to all of you who read my blog and I wish all of you joy and peace wherever you are on your life’s journey. Life is short my friends. Live with a renewal of love in your hearts and gratitude for The Presents of Presence daily.

Shine On!

Frankincense Part 2

For those who are spiritually minded, this post may not surprise you.  For those who aren’t that way, you may think I’ve lost my mind, but believe me, I have not.  While I won’t tell the entire story, I would like to tell you what happened the afternoon after smelling frankincense for the second morning in a row.

Towards the afternoon, I felt exhausted and suddenly, out of sorts.  While I hadn’t been feeling up to par lately, I thought I’d better take a nap.  So I laid on the couch, set the alarm for an hour’s nap and closed my eyes.  But sleep did not come.  My body began to reverberate as if all of its nerves were trembling.  I ‘heard’ that my time had come.  I assumed it was that I was dying.  While I was/am not ready to leave this earthly realm, it became clear to me through what I was hearing that I am not in control.  So I chose to surrender.  I began to pray.  My mind wandered as to how I would be able to contact my loved ones from the other side and what signs I would be able to give them if I were indeed dying.  Then I thought about how I would be found here on the couch.  I was sad, thinking that my work here was done because I feel like I have much still to do.  But I made peace with the Powers That Be and when I thought about Heaven and Eternity, I felt as if moving there would be beautiful so I completely surrendered.  I closed my eyes and gave myself up to the sleep that was enveloping me.  For in my dreams,, I have visited Heaven before and I am not afraid of returning.

Needless to say, I am still here.  I heard the alarm which woke me.  I woke up deeply rested and felt so calm and at peace.  It was as if there had been a spiritual download of some kind during my sleep that aided me.  I cannot describe all that went on, but I wanted to mention the experience to you and to remind myself that it happened.  It’s funny that the thought of dying was my first thought instead of a spiritual awakening through sleep so my mind was at rest.  Whatever the reason for the nap experience, I am deeply grateful considering that I felt changed when I awoke and that feeling of peace has enveloped me every since.

Has anything like this every happened to you?

Shine On!
