Dana Mrkich – Breathing Through These Strong Waves – 20 October 2014


dana-colour-pic-new

Lot’s going on out there today folks…energies are at an all-time high for all of us. Some get it and know how to “ride the waves” for this energy…and some are lost in their emotional state, confused and don’t know what the heck is going on! Even more significant action will be taking place in the near future…and this is the time for all lightworkers to hold steady and shine their light and BE what others are desperate to see.

Dana Mrkich writes today about the current high energy level and makes a very good statement, “If this is not mine, I let it go. If this is not serving me I let it go.” Releasing volatile energies that only serve to befuddle, confuse, and irritate you is paramount for this time. Not only will this serve you while taking everything in stride, but will also provide a calmness for others to see, and perhaps be curious about.

Dana has more goo thoughts to share, so please read her article here, apply this to yourself, and…

Enjoy!

If you felt like staying under a blanket today, or have had β€˜came out of nowhere’ emotional releases, you are possibly being triggered by the X grade Solar Flare yesterday, (X is highest grade), followed by an M Class today (not as mammoth as X but still mega huge).

This is on top of the fact we are coming up to the Solar Eclipse in 0 Degrees Scorpio on Thurs afternoon/Friday morning depending on your time zone. Ron Laswell of AstroChakras informed me that β€˜this degree represents the point where the β€˜veil’ is the thinnest’ so anything is possible: pay attention to your dreams, visions, insights, nudges and be conscious of what you are calling in from the Universal Field of Potential with your thoughts and feelings. Ron says: β€œthe whole month of Scorpio has a thin veil. Notice how we have Halloween which is more near the center of Scorpio, which I feel explains why we celebrate All Saint’s Day during this time.”

Not to mention we are still in the fire and water emotional aftermath of the recent Lunar Eclipse in Aries that was both conjunct Uranus and a Grand Fire Trine.

The energy is electric, and potentially explosive (emotional or otherwise). Yesterday I lit the gas on the outdoor burner and wooshka up shot some flames!! To say I had an inner freak out would be an understatement. Christian rushed over to turn the gas off but more flames kept shooting out! So part of me is thinking β€˜oh god this could explode, please don’t explode, oh my god what if it explodes!’ while the other part was feeling β€œβ€˜this is so the energy right now.”

It wasn’t a β€˜normal’ fire that you could just throw some water on (as umm, my non-logical Pisces self discovered).Β  Being gas, there was an element of unpredictability about it which for a few seconds there was very scary. It was a reminder, as I have been reminded many times, that anything can happen anytime – life can end just like that. Life can change, just like that. We try to control and manage everything, we are all consciously creating as much as possible, but even so: life has a life-force than is bigger than us, and we don’t always know what it has in store for us.

We can’t always control what happens, but we can to the best of our ability choose how we respond to what is happening. Unpredictable emotions and events are happening everywhere right now. It is part of our human nature to react with fear or panic or an angry bout of words when we are feeling out of control, or feeling that some sort of power has been taken out of our hands. I can’t count how many such outbursts I’ve had lately, some completely irrational inner child moments while others are valid parts of my consciousness seeking to be heard. (This is after not only two decades of inner work, but also after years of feeling pretty calm thinking β€˜thank god I’ve moved on from those emotionally explosive days’!!) Yet, once that initial wave of strong emotion has washed over us (as is happening faster and faster these days), we are left with the trust we have developed over the years. We are left with the core truth of how we really feel about something or someone. We find ourselves in a quiet place of calm, clarity, or renewed appreciation.

We are feeling everything so intensely because a)Β  these energetic waves are releasing ever deeper aspects of ourselves, so that we can shift ever higher into more of who we really are and b) we are feeling other people’s states as we move into increased sensitivity and experience a greater experience of unity consciousness. Sometimes it is hard to know the difference between what is ours and what is not, or what is ours and serving us, and what is not, so a general good affirmation to say is: If this is not mine, I let it go. If this is not serving me I let it go.

The waves are stronger than ever, yet our trust, truth, calm, clarity and appreciation is stronger than ever too. My fabulous cousin-in law, mother of four, once gave me a really great visual to help with the contractions of labour. She said to imagine that I’m in an ocean with waves, and that my baby is in a basket out there on the waves, and as each wave washes over me that the basket is coming closer and closer to me. We are all getting lifted and slam-dunked by energetic and emotional waves – and even if those waves aren’t β€˜ours’, we are feeling the splash from those around us. We are in this together, we are a collective and more than ever we can feel what so many others are going through right now. One thing to remember as we’re bobbing up and down, is that each wave is taking us closer to our β€˜baskets’.

It doesn’t look like it if we only look at the mainstream news, but with each wave we are uniting collectively for, and thus moving toward, global peace, healthier food production, more sustainable housing, environmental and corporate practices, and greater awareness around a multitude of social and health issues. With each emotional outburst, we get clearer about our feelings, we get clearer about the kinds of relationships and lives we want.

It can feel like you are drowning sometimes, or fit to burst, such is the intensity of these times. Ride the waves as they come, or lift your head up and take a breath (literally) to feel the quiet break point between waves where you can find your peace, stillness and truth – and see your baskets all around you more clearly.

How are you all feeling?

Dana Mrkich – In Between The Eclipses – 16 October 2014


dana-colour-pic-new

Wow! This is an eye-opening article that speaks to the state many may find themselves in right now…the time period between two eclipses. The first eclipse was a total lunar eclipse that showed a full blood red moon. The second eclipse, also occurring in this month, is a partial solar eclipse that will occur on Thursday, Oct. 23 in the late afternoon hours. What is very interesting for me is that the “shadow” provided by this eclipse will be the most visible North America…where the cabal-laden USA exists!

Due to the surge of high energies that have been hitting the earth for a while, many are emotionally, and perhaps physically, unsteady on their feet not knowing “what else” will present to them in their near future and this article speaks to that issue with some mighty comforting words of reassurance.

I can only speak to you of what is in your personal future, because I have already experienced that type of “surrender” that all will know, and feel, sometime soon. This past Sunday, I was typing away on my blog, when a set of coincidences, synchronicities, occurrences happened in a few minutes that blew me away! I cried out with tears running down my face “Thank You” to God, Source, Higher Self for touching my heart by literally showing me my reality.

Get ready… a major shift will also happen for you soon, leaving you with joy and wonder! In the meantime, weather the storm of emotional inconsistency in your life by reading this article by Dana Mrkich and don’t worry…it won’t be too much longer now…So, please read on, think about ALL your worries being gone, and…

Enjoy!

The irony of growth is that right before a leap forward, you can often feel a heaviness or restriction. If you can imagine energy trying to expand beyond the space it has previously been confined to, before it can bust out of those walls it has to breakdown or breakthrough them.

As we find ourselves in the midst of two eclipses, you may be feeling like you are halfway between leaping free of something finally, yet full of frustration, anxiety, mood swings and heart palpitations as the old comes up to be released first – and it keeps coming, and coming and coming.Β  And this isn’t just in the midst of any old eclipses – this is eclipses 2014 style.

We are picking up speed now in our new evolutionary cycle, and as much as you might look around and wonder if anything positive is actually going on with regards to our evolution, it’s safe to say we are not in Kansas anymore. Our inner and outer worlds are spinning, picked up by the tornado that is this evolutionary process….where it will set us down and when is anyone’s guess.

You may have experienced some restless nights and fatigue filled days lately as these latest energy waves are pushing us like never before to finally break free of yet more stuff – or more accurately at this point, finally break free of any remaining illusions that we even have stuff! In the process this energy is pushing our faces and bodies up against any remaining walls holding up our illusions.

This can feel like physical pressure coming up from within you and surrounding you, and you can often feel it around the chest area, literally like there is a tightness there. (Obviously see your health practitioner for any health concerns).Β  Our heart, our soul, our entire energy field is expanding, and we can feel it: we feel it physically and emotionally via the parts of us that are being pushed against, being called to expand, break, collapse and transform.

Your soul is saying β€œWoop, I am coming up and out!!!”, meanwhile your mental and emotional defenses are on over-drive, saying β€œWhat the heck is she/he doing?????!!! Doesn’t she/he know she is going to get herself/himself killed/persecuted/killed/abandoned/fill in the blanks?” Meanwhile the soul is on a roll now, high on high-vibrations, β€œI’m coming out and I’m talking all your fabulous, owned and disowned aspects with me, woooohoooo, freedom and expression here we come, yee-ha!”

We have all outgrown our old versions of our selves. Hey, we’ve outgrown who we were last week, let alone old beliefs and wounds that have their roots in our childhood, in our ancestral DNA, in our collective stories and past lives. Our energy is expanding rapidly, wanting to head out into that big, open, limitless meadow where anything is possible, free of our restrictive stories.

Yet, in the process, we keep bumping up against these walls. They are thinner than they used to be, but strangely enough the frustration and emotion they trigger is tsunami-worthy, because we can see so clearly what lies beyond them! We know now that our beliefs are just tapes we choose to keep playing. We can press stop anytime. We know that our wounds are born from the way we choose to perceive something we experienced, but we can adjust our lens of perception anytime. We know that many of our emotional reactions are old habits and addictions that are holding on for dear life. We know that we no longer have to be defined by anything that doesn’t feel good, or right or true for us. We are, at this stage, a little bit like the elephants who have long outgrown their tiny chains – but after so long being chained up we haven’t quite realised just how free of our β€˜stuff’ we can be if we choose it.

It is natural for all that isn’t in alignment with who we really are to come flaring up for a last hurrah as we shift up and into who we really are. The challenge is this: not to get sucked up into all that dust, believing that the existence of this dust must be evidence that nothing is changing, or that clearly you really are identified by that dust. The dust is a good sign. It’s a sign that you just smashed a big hole in some wall, or even demolished one fully. The dust is an opportunity to turn to those suffocating thoughts and emotions that have come up and say: Hey, I don’t choose you anymore…thank you for leaving now.

May many of your walls come down at this time.

May you blow the dust away with your breath. I mean that literally, just stop, inhale, exhale, let it go.

Breathe freedom in and out of your heart and chest. Feel that area opening and expanding.

Repeat if you resonate: I am free now on all levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, cellular, DNA, ancestral and etheric, across all time, space and dimensions. Thank you.

Dana Mrkich – Relentless Releasing – 6 October 2014


dana-colour-pic-new

Ok. The energies for the lunar eclipse are just about here…feeling anything? The energies on the late Oct.7/early Oct. 8 will definitely have an impact on your energy level! Stay cool, become an “observer” and just let go…and enjoy the ride!

Please read Dana Mrkich’s latest article, she’s kind of advising the same thing…so please read this post, breathe, and…

Enjoy!

When strong astro influences come along we can feel like crawling underneath a blanket and never coming out. Lunar Eclipses especially, when they hit your chart, can feel like a pressure cooker of intense emotional energy bubbling up within you, pulsing and expanding until you feel you are about to explode – and you may well have experienced some volatile explosions lately as this eclipse is part of a Grand Fire Trine – not to mention on top of β€˜don’t label me/don’t box me/don’t restrict me/i need freedom!’ Uranus!Β 

These releases can feel relentless and β€˜too much’, but ultimately we are being called to shed so much of what has been covering and clouding our eyes, minds and hearts. We are being called to see ourselves as we really are: free of old wounds and outdated beliefs, and to let go of these wounds and beliefs once and for all. As part of that process, our wounds and beliefs will flare up big time, becoming magnified, for the purpose of us addressing them and clearing them once and for all.

This is happening personally and collectively, globally and politically. Our awakening process is not something you do in your spare time after work, it is 24/7, and it is happening in one way or another to all on this planet at this time. It is playing out as activism, it is playing out as resistance, it is playing out as chaos and violence, it is playing out as greater calls for peace and justice. It is playing out in billions of ways, some difficult and some fabulous, but know that it is happening and that’s a good, long-awaited thing.

How are you all feeling?

Dana Mrkich – Lunar Eclipse Lighting Our Fire – 5 October 2014


dana-colour-pic-new

OK…we are coming up an another very important astrological event that we all need to be aware, a lunar eclipse occurring on the evening of Oct. 7-early morning of Oct. 8. The author of this article, Dana Mrkich, feels we are already under the influence of this event! This is a significant time for events to happen both internationally and in your personal like..so breathe and hold steady…you ma be releasing some major “stuff”!

Please read this article, be prepared, and…

Enjoy!

Holy Moly, this Lunar Eclipse in Aries that’s happening on Tues night/Wed morning has been packing a punch for days already, especially if you have any major points or planets ranging in the 12-18 degree vicinity in your natal chart.

Lunar Eclipses are often about inner shifts, realizations and things coming to light that were previously unknown. This Eclipse is conjunct Uranus so this could play out with something really unexpected coming out of left field knocking you sideways. Or, it might just give you a little wobble and you’ll find yourself happily surprised to see how far you’ve come now that things no longer rock you out of your centre quite like they used to.

Uranus also triggers our freedom-needing, rebellious side that wants to break free from any shackles or situations that have made us feel tied, bound or restricted. We need to watch our emotional responses right now because not only is all this happening in impulsive Aries, but it is a Grand Fire Trine to boot! Mars is in Sag, and Jupiter is in Leo, just adding some pep and fuel to a fire that is already crackling with electricity!Β  You might feel like someone has lit that fire underneath you, prodding you to confront unmet potentials within you, and triggering you to question your life and how you’re living it. If you’re feeling this, you’re probably not feeling it in a dreamy, watery kind of way, but in an urgent, β€œI need to take action now, get out of my way!!!” kind of way.

With Uranus involved – and the Grand Fire Trine – we have to be particularly conscious not to project any fury and frustration outward at the nearest innocent bystander, or run away from home/our family/job/relationship in the heat of the moment – and there will be plenty of heat/inner fire/explosiveness/anger/frustration/irritability/volatility/passion stirred with all this fire energy.

We want to take a breath, and use this influence to check in with where we are out of balance – or feel out of balance. Where are we neglecting our needs/dreams/desires/fire/creativity/potential, and what can we do about it? How do we want to best express this energy and passion and fire that is awakening from within us? Do we need to shift our perspective? Do we need to discuss a change of schedule with our boss or partner in order to get more time to do what we feel we need/want to do?

None of this is easy. This eclipse and the trine is on my Chiron so for me it’s been feeling like someone going back and forth over any remaining old wounds/old beliefs saying: β€œDo you feel that? Do ya? Do ya? What are you going to do about it?” It’s been very challenging to β€˜just breathe’, (and I can’t say I’ve mastered that having quite the emotional releases lately) but at the same time sometimes it feels good to let the inner dragon roar and have a wail and express ones needs clearly!

The question for all of us now is: how to use and express this energy in a positive way rather than a destructive way be that destructive toward self or others. On a global/political level there is mucho projection going on right now particularly of the fiery kind, and if my personal projections have reminded me of anything it is this: while it temporarily feels good to unleash ones pent up emotion by hurling it outside of ones self, ultimately the source of that emotion continues to reside within us until we have addressed it.

Unhealed inner anger is generating so much outer conflict and violence, which in turn is triggering the community’s anger, and the vicious cycle goes round and round. It is a natural human response to feel angry at what is inhumane, and yet to stay in anger is to perpetuate a cycling loop that is surely at its expiration date. Anger can definitely be a motivating energy, but we want to be motivated toward good actions rather than fuel the bad. When you feel anger coming up, flip it round and feel it as passion. Ask yourself okay, what is this feeling reminding me? What reality/behaviour would I prefer to be witnessing/experiencing right now instead of what is? What can I personally do about it? If I can’t do anything personally right now, what thoughts/prayers/visions/love can I direct to the situation?

This Fire Trine Lunar Eclipse is powerful and in many ways I’m loving it and am grateful for it – in other ways it is most definitely a time to watch your temper, remind yourself to breathe before flying off the handle or taking any impulsive actions (especially with Mercury Retrograde making things a bit pear-shaped when it comes to communication), and bottom line: look within for the true source of whatever it is you are feeling. If fire is erupting from you, excellent – find out what emotion/dream/wound/desire/need within you is seeking attention, expression or balance.

How are you all feeling?

Dana Mrkich – Sensory Overwhelm – 8 September 2014


dana-colour-pic-new

I like this article. It says most of what I AM feeling right now. I AM tired at times and fired up with energy at others. Sometimes I feel soooo tired of waiting for “The Event” to happen, and the next moment I AM content to let this whole illusion/drama thing play out as it will. But one thing I will say…is that I AM firmly fixated on BEING LOVE in my life!

Dana Mrkich feels the same way. It’s hard to hold steady at times when all things seem in an uproar. So…this is the time to honor how you feel! It’s time for all of us to remember just how precious we are to the Universe as we all play our roles here on Earth. Remember that everyone is feeling something different than their “normal selves” these days, and adjust your attitude accordingly.

Read on, and let Dana’s article present a moment of sanity for you. Please read this here, dwell on this just a bit, and…

Enjoy!

Sensory overwhelm. Those are just two of the many words I could use to describe the past few weeks. You may have found yourself consciously, or subconsciously, unplugging from as much of the world as possible (I definitely have been!) with less time on social media, more time at home or wanting to be at home while elsewhere, and a general feeling of being in hibernation/inner retreat mode. So many people have been sick with colds and flu’s, enforcing rest time where perhaps you wouldn’t have otherwise taken the opportunity. Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

The world is so loud right now, and is getting louder in every possible way. You might feel as if one minute we were sitting in a dimly lit room with candles and mood music, and the next someone came along, switched on all the lights to high beam, threw on some hardcore heavy metal music and ramped it to full volume.

Everyone has an opinion on everything, and is emotionally invested in those opinions. This isn’t a bad thing – it’s better than everyone being in apathy – and lord knows everyone has been told for years β€œspeak your truth!”, and β€œfind your voice!” but the current manifestation of it is akin to having a room full of television sets all playing different channels at volume.

Whether as the one expressing or receiving a message, it is usually the case that we are expressing in that moment, or seeing in that moment, only one side of what is always a four sided box. Yet many of us lately are boxing others, or being boxed, based on that one expression. It feels like no-one can say or do anything without someone taking offence. It’s as if someone has sprinkled β€˜judgement’ dust in the air!

Mention being centred, and someone will jump on you saying it’s not good to repress your feelings. Talk about feeling your frustration, and you’ll receive a lecture on rising above your feelings. Voice support for a particular plight, and there’ll be someone saying but what about this plight and that one? I caught myself having some β€˜seeing only one side of the box’ moments, and it was unpleasantly uncomfortable emotionally when I realised how in that moment I was so focused on one aspect of an issue that it blinded me temporarily to the many other sides.

I was shocked because I’ve always been all about seeing all the sides (which has made for a lifetime of taking forever to make a decision!). I have not liked being judged or boxed, or to have someone being so committed to their stance that they refuse to see where someone else is coming from. That moment of being temporarily blinded to the other sides of the box, allowed me to see in a clearer way than ever how easy it is to be blinded, and to be Judgy McJudgy Pants. If you have found yourself going into judgement or being triggered by things, try to take a moment to ask yourself: okay, what sides of the box may I not be seeing here?

As the light intensifies on this planet, everything intensifies. Love and gratitude take on a whole new level, yet anything still in our shadow along with any emotions we feel or are holding, are also amplified. So even these judgy moments, whether we’re expressing them or are being the recipients of them, are serving a purpose in the sense that they are shining a light onto other sides of the box – ultimately helping us own more of our wholeness as individuals and as a collective. However, it takes awareness to see these moments this way. What we are instead seeing a lot of is people responding to this energy with anger, hurt, violence, depression or such overwhelm that they feel like checking out.

The light that is here, and within you, is facilitating a massive transformation for everyone and everything on this planet, and that is a good thing but not an easy thing. Be discerning with how you choose to participate in the current demolition site/renovation process that is our current personal and global reality. There is no right or wrong, better or worse way. Everyone has a different role to play, and your role may change from one day to the next. A burst of motivated action may give way to weeks spent hiding out from the world, only to re-emerge revitalized and refreshed. Try not to judge yourself, or others, during this process. Everyone is at a different stage, and even that is too β€˜linear’ a way to look at things suggesting some are β€˜ahead’ while others are β€˜behind’. The truth is, almost all of us are β€˜ahead’ in some ways yet still awakening when it comes to certain aspects within us or certain aspects of reality.

Take good care of yourself right now. Eat, drink and do nourishing things for yourself. If the external is too noisy, take time out. For the sake of our emotional and mental health, many of us are needing right now to unplug from the old reality group consciousness, and that can leave you feeling like you are hanging out in a void, connected to nothing and no-one. You are not in a void, but yes it feels like one because we are not used to not being attached to what was a very dense reality.

Freedom can feel strange. It can bring up grief, and feelings of betrayal: like you are betraying those still in the old reality if you β€˜unplug’. β€˜Unplugging’ doesn’t mean total disconnection from global goings on. Quite to the contrary, from a clear, centred β€˜unplugged from the drama/plugged into your centre/source energy’ space, you will naturally feel into things you can do be it sending a prayer of love and peace, making certain shopping or lifestyle decisions that support a healthy global community or any one of a million other ways you can use your energy for good.

You may feel you have been betrayed as the world around you doesn’t match what you thought it would look like by now. I have moments of feeling like that too, but at the end of the day when you go into your heart, and you ask your own soul: β€œWhy are we all here? Where is all this leading?” you will receive words, guidance, a feeling or visuals to help you understand, and encourage you to keep moving forward. Don’t take my word for it, or anyone else’s, otherwise you will have nothing to hold onto in those moments when you feel disillusioned. It is so important for you to connect with your own heart, your own centre, and your own inner voice of wisdom and guidance.

All this can be summarised in just a few words really:

Love. Be in it. Give it to yourself and others. Receive it.
That’s all.
