Happy Birthday Aries 2024
by John Maerz

This month will prove to be a very important month. There are two eclipses occurring with you. One is a lunar eclipse in Libra on March 25th, your opposite sign, and the other a solar eclipse in your sign Aries on April 8th. Each set of eclipses occurs every six months in different signs. They provide the opportunity to observe life issues and make adjustments if necessary.

The Divine Spark Connection with Meditation
by Nancy Robbins

There are two cards from my Spirits of the Nature Kingdom card deck that I drew the other day, and when I connected the two together in meditation, magic happened! It was the Divine Spark of the Heart card, and the Earth’s Core Light card that I had chosen. In meditation I connected the Divine Spark of my heart to the Divine Spark at the core of the Earth – the heart of Gaia. I found myself merging with Gaia and brought to an inner earth realm that radiated the Green Ray (of Truth, Healing, & Science).

Life's Challenges
by Gwen Peterson

As each of these messages go out, I sit and work with them myself. I revisit with where I am and with who I am. Especially at times when our family is faced with some "things" that would distract me from who I really am. I do not take these words lightly. Sometimes it is difficult for me to find my alignment with them. But those are the moments that require my attention the most. Not when things are good and happy but when I, we, you are challenged with experiences that appear to be everything but.

Spring Equinox/Ostara – Meditation and Activities
by Nancy Robbins

The Spring Equinox is one of the four great solar festivals of the year. Day and night are equal, poised, and balanced, but about to tip over on the side of light. The Spring Equinox represents the season of Spring, the East, the element Air, dawn, youth, the morning star, new beginnings, rebirth, resurrection from the death of the previous year (at harvest time), illumination and inspiration, and the gentle feminine energy of creativity and birth.

Begin Living Your Best Life Now
by Gwen Peterson

Do you really want to begin living your life? Then stop and take the time to connect with who you are, love, peace, joy. Some of you may be so far removed from that connection that you may need to remind yourself what relief feels like. Train yourself back into that sensation or feeling. The sensation or feeling of letting go of bad feeling thoughts. Letting the tightness in your chest be replaced with the pounding of excitement for the unknown.

Crystalline Ray of Source Light
by Nancy Robbins

This is the third of four rays that came in October 2023. Below is a description, and crystal and meditation to help you connect to its energy.

Finding Peace in Troubling Times
by Gwen Peterson

I guess it would be easier for me to talk about light and fluffy stuff right now. To steer clear of the growing pains our planet is in at the moment. To put a smiley face on and pretend that what is happening is not effecting everyone. If I did that, then what is the purpose of my weekly Insights and Illuminations newsletters, classes, videos and programs I create about spirituality and the importance of having a personal practice.

Winter Solstice/Yule – Meditations and Activities
by Nancy Robbins

The word “Winter” is from a 2000 year old Germanic word “wentruz” to mean “winter” or “wet season”. The Old English language changed it to “winter”, also spelled “wynter” or “wintir”.

Why Being Happy Is Important
by Gwen Peterson

Happiness is not something we have to wait for. It’s an inside job.  The secret to happiness is being happy without any reason.  I'll be happy either way.

Are You Maintaining or Creating Your Life?
by Gwen Peterson

Life can spin on a dime. Just when you think you have it all figured out, wham! Your blindsided by something you never saw coming. Or were you? When we see our lives as something that is coming at us and something to be managed, we lose our power to create. Managing is not creating. Maybe you are scratching your head and saying what the heck so let me explain.

Meditations for Heartfelt Abundance and Gratitude
by Nancy Robbins

Gratitude from the heart is an open door to joy and abundance. Thanksgiving is a time of feeling grateful for all the abundance in our lives. It is a heart-centered emotion. A healthy heart is one that gives love and receives with gratitude equally. Gratitude goes beyond saying please and thank you.

Five New Divine Rays: 21. Lavender Ray of Divine Harmony  by Nancy Robbins

My previous blog discussed the Aqua Ray of the New Earth Consciousness, and this blog will discuss the next ray – the 21st divine ray – Lavender Ray of Divine Harmony. I’m continuing my deeper connection and understanding of all the rays, and especially these five new rays, but I wanted to share with you what knowledge I have so far! Here is also a recap of the divine rays.

Trust that we are all connected to the One Divine Energy by Gwen Peterson

From that Trust, we hear or feel our guidance. The message/communication that comes from that part of us that has remained limitless. Trust that we are all connected to the One Divine Energy. To Source, to God, to the All-that-is. From that Trust, we hear or feel our guidance. The message/communication that comes from that part of us that has remained limitless. Our Soul Essence.

Genius Loci
by John Maerz

We’ve all had the occasion where we’ve entered an environment and we felt a push, a pull or feeling of movement in which we were “encouraged” to acquiesce to. An easy and very tangible example of this is to imagine standing waist deep in ocean water and being shoved toward one side or the other while it appeared that the water barely moved beneath us. In this we can easily comprehend the cause and effect of the feeling because it touches and activates our physical senses. But there are other more subtle “senses” we have that are not dependent on physically confirming evidence.

Relationship With God - How to Build A Relationship With God?
by Gwen Peterson

In this article, we'll discuss what it means to have a relationship with God. We'll also look at some ways to build such a relationship. What does having a relationship with God mean and does the idea of connecting to an Energy as powerful as God's scare you? We have been conditioned to think that way. Have you been told the common person is not able to navigate those powers safely? Only special people or chosen ones can do that for you. But think of this. We are all the same in the eyes of God. How does that make you feel?

Earth Star Chakra
by Nancy Robbins

The Earth Star chakra is located approximately one foot below your feet in the Earth.  This chakra has a deep red/black color.  In Sanskrit it is called Vasundhara – “Daughter of the Earth”.  This chakra is an etheric chakra, also known as a sub-personal chakra since it is below the body.  Chakras above the body, such as the Soul Star chakra, are called trans-personal chakras.

Owning one’s own sh*t can be challenging!
by Steven Howard

“Our heart space has access to a whole different array of words than that of our human mind.” That is a tentative conclusion I am reaching as I try, unsuccessfully, I might add, to deal with my own shadow beliefs and remain authentic while also unintentionally creating a story about others who also operate in accordance with their own unique languages of the heart and of the mind. Because it all, eventually, comes back to me! And that is why this blog is titled as it is.

Should you change your core beliefs?
by Gwen Peterson

It can be difficult to change your core beliefs, but it may be necessary in some cases. consider this before you start. Never allow anyone to convince you that you need to change any of your beliefs around any topics. If a topic should pop for you and you seem to find yourself drawn into the idea of changing up the edges of a core belief that you have held, hold onto your hat! Things in your life will begin to change for you. You will start to see with new eyes and hear with new ears. That is your Inner Being, your Soul, peeking through and pointing out to you a new way of perceiving your life and in those moments, you change so much of your experience.

Time to Explore the Baggage us Men Carry Around
by Steven Howard

I need to give credit for this BLOG to the website, Voices of the Goddess, and to Claudia-Jean Virga, who appeared there as a guest speaker on a recent VLOG. And as I listened to Claudia share about her life and her roots, particularly about the relationship she had with her mother, I wondered: Why don’t they have VLOGs that specifically speak to the psychological and mental baggage men carry around for much of their lives?

Do You Want to Turn Something Around?
by Gwen Peterson

If you're looking to make a change, start by changing the way you think about it. This applies to everything, including your health. Have you ever noticed when you talk to anyone who is in the throws of some type of life event they will try to convince you that they have limitations to what they can do about it? The only thing you can say to someone who has taken the time to develop a belief (a thought you keep thinking) around this thing, gone out and got support for their cause and argue with great emotion on it is; your right.

Five New Divine Rays: The Mint-Green Ray of the New Earth
by Nancy Robbins

I had just finished writing articles on the divine rays 1-18, which I have received information from on research and various channeled sessions. These articles are on each of these divine rays and their qualities along with the Elohim, ascended masters and archangels working with them that can be found on my blog. As soon as I finished that, I got a request from my Council of Guides to create a card deck of these rays.

My previous blog discussed the Lavender Ray of Divine Harmony, and this blog will discuss the next ray – the 22nd Divine Ray – the Yellow-Peach-Diamond Ray of Cosmic Consciousness – the “Mahatma” Ray. I’m continuing my deeper connection and understanding of all the rays, and especially these five new rays, but I wanted to share with you what knowledge I have so far! Here is also a recap of the divine rays. The new rays will each be discussed in upcoming blogs.

What is third dimension?
by Gwen Peterson

Third dimension is very slow moving energy. Energy that we can manipulate with our focused intent. Let's discuss this further. Consider this. Everything is energy. Ask any physicist. Third dimension, planet earth is energy and slow moving energy at that. This whole physical plane is all about density. That is why we can touch and feel everything. The Energy is very slow moving and dense. Because of that we have forgotten that we are the creators of all that we experience. Our resistance slows it to almost a virtual standstill and we forget that it is us who puts things into motion.
