Healing Through Writing

Hello my lovely friends and readers

So I may (or may not) have mentioned to you I have written a book. It is going to be published in just a couple of weeks. Sitting down to write my story was mixed-bag of slow, pleasure and pain. I wanted to tell the story as factually accurate as possible — so it was necessary to put in the sweaty emotional work.

My incredible editor and writing coach helped me so much! She encouraged me not to get caught up in fear, not to censor my feelings and definitely NOT to worry what other people think of me or my story. “It is YOUR story, Cara,” she would say in her voice notes. “If other people don’t like it, tough shit.”

That was transformative.

The dwarf planet, Chiron reminds me of the writing process. This planet is named after a centaur (a creature with the head, arms, and torso of a man and the body and legs of a horse) who in Greek mythology who had incredible healing powers. Sadly he could not heal himself from the wound of a poison arrow and died. Chiron represents deep sources of wounding and healing in our lives. It’s the soft-spot that feels vulnerable, unloved and hurt — a part that we cannot fix ourselves. I believe that writing can help us in this respect. *Dear Chiron, I hope you’re listening…for your next life, wink-wink*

So if you are thinking of writing your story I would suggest you just do it. Don’t wait for the right moment. Don’t worry about what others will think of you. Just go for it! And if you are looking for someone to help you with the process, contact Lee. Her website is www.leemayimele.com

8/8 = BIG magic at the peak of the Lions Gate/Infinity Portal

Hi Friends

Are you looking for some winning lottery numbers? I would bet on number 8! I’m kidding. But can you feel that? I definitely can. There is an explosive energy in the air. The ancient cultures wrote this. We are at the peak of the Lion’s Gate Portal. I found out that another name for this portal is also the INFINITY PORTAL, represented by the number 8.

Today is special. It’s an energetic activation of the numbers 8/8, August: eighth month, in the sign of Leo the lion, on the eighth day of the year. I LOVE NUMBERS! Can you tell? (I’m a tax accountant by profession and my brain is wired this way)

The number 8 in Numerology represents:

*abundance *prosperity *inner wisdom

It is also a number associated with karma.

The shape reminds me of balance and harmony. I like the way everything is connected in one constant flow. It is symbolic of giving and receiving, our inter-connectedness with every living thing and also a reminder that energy is never static. WE ARE PART OF THE FLOW.

In Chinese culture, the number 8 is considered the luckiest number of all! There are people who make sure that the number 8 goes into their children’s names to give them the best possible chance of success and prosperity.

The Orion constellation also aligns perfectly with the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt at the time that Sirius aligns perfectly with the Sun. This also happens at the time of the peak of the INFINITY PORTAL. Incredible!

So, my friends, look out for the new moon. Don’t miss this opportunity to make a wish list and read it out loud. Manifestations are on offer and, unlike lotto numbers the results are guaranteed. It is written in the stars:-)

Love

P.S. A word of warning: The new moon in Leo is in a conjunction with Mercury. This means that Mercury is essentially combust. It is forming a tight T-Square with Uranus in Taurus and activating some heavy energy — a continuation of energy that has been around with the Saturn-Uranus Square. What a mouthful huh? Well, without going too deep I wanted to mention this because it could mean that many of us will be dealing with INCREASED FEELINGS OF ANXIETY, AGITATION, DESPAIR, AND PAIN. This is stuff we have been dealing with all year, but this new moon will bring it up more. So be aware and take time to ground yourself. xoxo

The LIONS GATE portal is open

Hey Lions and Lionesses

From 26 July to its peak on August 8 2021, something very powerful is happening. The Lion’s Gate portal is open.

The Lion’s Gate portal occurs when Earth and the star system Sirius are aligned. It is called the LION’s Gate because of the Sun being in the sign of Leo (with the Lion as its symbol). Sirius is our second brightest star and she is known for her ability to shower us with increased ENERGY. This raises our frequency and makes manifesting our desires that much quicker. Don’t be surprised at the rate at which things happen. Just embrace the increased energy and sense of COURAGE that comes with this time.

I have always loved lions. Their quiet, proud aura and majesty are qualities I find very attractive. That may be the reason I have always been attracted to tall men…but I digress.

So how can you tap into this high vibrational energy and make the most of it? Here are my top tips:

Write a Wishlist (This is a magical time for those big goals and dreams)
Pay close attention to signs and “answers”(My signs often come in numbers. I’ll be driving and *boom* I’ll see the same numbers many times in one day)
Let it Go (Forgive and move on. Release all the disappointment, anger, resentment, and hurt weighing you down. I did a burning ceremony this week. It was so good!)
Expand your HEART energy(Hug a tree, walk barefoot, make love, sing and play. Do what brings you joy and feel your heart-space expand)
Speak your truth (Leo is ruled by the Sun and is about expressing our unique creativity boldly. This is a great time for communication)

I am already feeling the magic of this powerful energetic shift and am ready to step into my power.

Remember to drink lots of water and do your SUN GAZING to absorb all the energy and light codes. These things raise your vibration – and the vibration of the whole collective – making it oh so easy to manifest magic.

Let’s do it!

The Amazing Benefits of SUN GAZING

Hello again Sunshines

I’m always looking for ways to deepen and vary my spiritual practice and just the other day I came across some material on SUN GAZING. It’s been on my mind again this week with all this talk about the Solar Storm that was said to hit the earth and cause major disruptions to electricity and technology.

So what exactly is sun gazing? Well, it’s quite simply the ancient practice of staring at the sun during sunrise or sunset.

A lovely, magical moment of meditation and basking in the beautiful sunshine

During this time the light emitted from the sun isn’t as strong so there’s no risk of damaging the eyes. But why would anyone do that? I asked myself that question too. It’s all to do with increasing your psychic ability by opening your third eye chakra (pineal gland). In order to activate the ‘third eye’ and perceive higher dimensions, the pineal gland and the pituitary must vibrate in unison, which is achieved through meditation and… wait for it… sun gazing!

I have always been a little clairvoyant and am excited about increasing that ability. I don’t think I will go as far as Cleopatra, who used to put a magnet on her forehead to stimulate the pituitary gland. I’ll just think of her as I stare into the beautiful California sun to enjoy all the health and beauty benefits.

Happy weekend, lovely people. Please try it too and let me know what happens.

Love & Light

Happy MAYAN Birthday CALIFORNIA – 11 KEJ

Hello Lovelies!

Today I am celebrating my home state of CALIFORNIA. I like to say that California reminds me of a beautiful woman. She’s a little high maintenance and really expensive. But…simply being in her presence is more than worth the trouble.

California carries the energy of 11 KEJ according to the Mayan sacred calendar. Today is also an 11 Kej day so it is California’s Mayan Birthday, in a way.

The totem animal for the Nawal Kej is the deer. It is the Nawal of NATURE, STRENGTH and SPIRITUAL LEADERS. California carries the energy of 11 KEJ according to the Mayan sacred calendar. Today is also an 11 Kej day so it is California’s Mayan Birthday, in a way. Eleven has a restless tone to it and can bring spiritual tests when combined with the Nawal Kej.

Taking a hike through the forest is an excellent way to balance the directionless energy this day may bring.

California is known for its rugged landscapes and spiritual liberalism. It’s also the worlds’ fifth largest economy so it is very strong and very powerful. It embodies the qualities of its Nawal 11 Kej. My home state is also well known for its CANNABIS.

The Compassionate Use Act was passed nearly 25 years ago making California the first state to legalize the use of cannabis for medical purposes. There are now 37 states that have legalized medical marijuana.

Something else to CELEBRATE!

I invite you to embrace the wild and spiritual energy of today. Let your inner wanderer free. Take a journey into the forest and, perhaps enjoy your favorite plant medicine. THAT’S MY PLAN.

How about you?

xoxo

ABRACADABRA – I CREATE WHAT I SPEAK

Hey Friends!

Have you ever wished you could just say, “Abracadabra” and have whatever it is you desire magically appear before your eyes? I know I have. Abracadabra is actually an Aramaic phrase meaning I create what I speak.

Speaking our desires out loud is one of the most powerful ways to manifest and doing it with others can multiply what we receive.

Last 4^th of July I participated in a money manifestation exercise with a group of other women. We were invited to hold some currency in our hands and to speak our requests for more money out loud.

Nine days later the Divine let me know my request had been heard loud and clear. I pulled up to the first stop sign on my morning commute and was stunned to see that the road was littered with cash.

The sun was still hiding behind the hills and I was completely alone. I turned off my engine, gathered up the cash like a giddy little child and said thank you to the Universe for my gift.

The Maya sacred calendar teaches that certain days are more auspicious to make requests of Spirit than others. It works in cycles. Some are short and some are long. A Trecena is just 13 days while a Baktun is 13,000 years.

The date 13.0.0.0.0. 4 Ajpu 8 Cumku is inscribed throughout the ancient Maya area. This date is said to be the beginning of the creation era we currently live in. Each 4 Ajpu day is considered a powerful day when we can create. Ajpu represents the divinity in our physical world. Combined with the stability of the number 4 it is an ideal creation day.

July 4^th begins a No’j Trecena and July 7^th is a 4 Ajpu day. The current Baktun began on December 21, 2012 which was also a 4 Ajpu day during a No’j Trecena. A powerful time for co-creating with the Divine and bringing the new into our world.

Set your intentions, make your prayers and say, write or draw them. You may be amazed by what you can create. Last Summer my daughter and her boyfriend were dreaming of moving in together and having a high rise view. She put her vision onto canvas. Just a few short months later she got exactly what she asked for.

HAPPY MANIFESTING!

xoxo

Full Moon Ritual Ideas

Hey Friends

There is a full moon on Thursday 24 June and I am already dreaming of basking in its beautiful light. (It might also have something to do with the wonderful happy hormones still in my veins from all the Summer Solstice celebrations!)

If you do not already have a full moon ritual, here are a couple of tips to help you make it special:

Set the scene: Go outside, open up the curtains, invite the light in.
Have an intention: The full moon is a great time to let go of burdens and any negative emotions. Sometimes I write my intention. Sometimes I say it out loud. It can be something as simple as “I release everything that is weighing me down.” And so it shall be!
Use water: Our bodies comprise mostly water, the moon regulates the ocean tides and our menstrual cycles, so it makes sense to flow with the good stuff. I like to take a long bath by a window and sip on some warm tea. If you are near the ocean/lake/river, spend some time feeling into that energy. It is a powerful way to release negative energy and reset the nervous system.
Crystals: The energy from the full moon will charge up your crystals and make them super potent again. Lie them out where they will have maximum exposure to the moon’s light and leave the rest up to Mother Nature.

Beautiful crystal, soaking up all the energy from Mother Nature

! The energy from the full moon usually lasts for about 3 days afterward, and you can feel a little “crazy” or drained. People often call it a hangover. I’ve experienced that many times. If you feel this way, take time to rest. Sip on your favorite tea (or something stronger), journal, and take things slow.

Before you know it, we will be on to another moon phase and welcoming all things wonderful and new.

With Love,

SUMMER SOLSTICE MAGIC

The Summer Solstice has always been one of my favorite days of the year. School is out. Time to head to our favorite alpine lake for a family vacation. Time to CELEBRATE and RECONNECT.

The word Solstice derives from sol (Sun) and sistere (standing still). This is because at the Summer Solstice, the sun appears to stand still.

Perhaps this is why it feels like the perfect time to slow down and SAVOR THE SWEETNESS OF LIFE.

Memories of flower crowns and May poles from my childhood inspired me to find a local florist to create bouquets for every room of our vacation rental last Summer Solstice. Such a decadent splurge and the perfect décor for our celebration.

CELEBRATING WAS WHAT I HAD MOST ON MY MIND. My daughter and her boyfriend had both just graduated from University. There had been no ceremony to honor their achievements. The trip to Europe that they had saved and planned for evaporated before their eyes as the world went into lockdown.

Yet, we still had our vacation to look forward to and I was determined to make it MAGICAL.

The magic started happening before we even arrived. The practical mini-van that I had reserved was not available. It would be replaced with the Suburban that I had wanted to rent, but could not afford. I had placed my order and the Universe had delivered.

A few days later, Mother Earth yielded even more MAGIC. While hiking, my husband found several Lemurian crystals. They were literally lying in full view. Right in the middle of the trail! He had the loveliest one mounted and made into a necklace for me. Magical indeed.

MAGIC IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. We just need to look for it. The Summer Solstice is a time when the veil between the material and spiritual worlds is said to be much thinner. It’s a great time to light a bonfire or a candle and observe the magic of the season.

Wishing you and yours a MAGICAL SOLSTICE and a SUMMER filled with JOY and LEISURE.

Public Service Announcement: “Ring of Fire” Solar Eclipse,10 June 2021

Psst, a quick one from me.

Tomorrow is June 10th 2021 and there is a SOLAR ECLIPSE in the sign of Gemini.

I found this very informative article on the Oprah Daily website:

https://www.oprahdaily.com/entertainment/a36619706/solar-eclipse-in-gemini-june-2021-astrology/

Personally, I have always embraced eclipses! It is a time when I believe we are given bits of critical information that was perhaps “hidden” before and we can come out on the other side with absolute clarity and direction.

See you on the other side!

Thank YOU!

Hey Friends

Just a quick one from me to say thank you.

It was not easy to take the first step and start this website and blog. I had all the normal fears that people have – and a little extra! The spotlight has not been my favorite place in recent years and the media has caused me and my family a lot of anxiety. It affected my mental health. I took a long time to open myself up again.

But I did it!

And I am ready to share my story too. My book is coming out really soon and I can’t wait to tell you more.

Sharing our stories is a big part of how we can help each other heal and grow.

So thank you! Thank you, thank you for holding space for me.
