Into the New & True

So here we are at the end of 2008, our "supposed" year of "new beginnings".

Wondering why things don't feel very new?

Well lets wax poetic for a hot second here...and please pardon my sarcastic realism...but things may have sucked for you over the last several weeks/days. So much for Christmas spirit, right?

For those extreme-empaths out there...and you know who you are... the past 3 weeks have been nothing less than ruthless.

And lets not forget the last 3 years either...hell, the last 5-7 years for some. Have you been wondering what its all been for? Wondering how its possible that at the end of so many years of suffering we have been fighting 3 more weeks of even darker darkness?

Feeling forsaken? Blocked, POOR, frustrated, ANGRY, irritable, FATIGUED, uninspired, RAGING, lamenting, DISCONNECTED, fearful & ANXIOUS?

If so, then congratulations! You are being reborn.

Or as I like to say...entering the New & True. The true state of being & existing that we came to blast open for all others is here now...the final activation of our divine blueprints.

So why all the suffering?

In a word...transmutation.

If your feeling like you fell off your path, don't worry, you're still on it. We are just shaking off the last of lower vibrating energies before we explore the new & true.

It began with the lead up to 12:12 and ended yesterday with the Solstice.

The powerful closing energies of the 12:12 portal were certainly momentous, at least here in NY. On December 12th we experienced an intense ice storm which seemed to knock out the power in only certain sections and communities. Mine was one of those.

I live up on a small mountain, pretty isolated from civilization, where the ice storm wreaked havoc. It was pretty surreal...everything was crystallized with glazed ice, trees all but touching the ground and hundreds snapped in half from the weight causing power lines to go down in several areas about 500 feet up the mountain. The juxtaposition of this tragedy with such other-wordly beauty was truly remarkable...but sadly I did not take any photos : ((

Needless to say we were without electric for 4 days and the odd thing is that my house seemed to be the electric cut-off point...that is to say that from my house to the top of the mountain experienced a blackout, but not even 200 feet down the hill, my one of only 2 neighbors had power! Which got me to thinking about how this all related to the energy changes that we are experiencing.

On a higher level, I knew so much was transpiring...and I definitely tried to keep that in mind while I emptied my refrigerator/freezer into a Coleman and foraged for sticks during daylight hours ; )...it was as if we were being completely disconnected from the current "energy grid" so we could effectively be reconnected to a new and higher one.

But the real magic was in the process. For four days there was nothing to do but focus on survival (at least in my 1887 cottage). I really noticed this because everything in my charming yet impractical antique home required electric except for the fireplace. And I mean EVERYthing. No working heater, well pump, stove or lights, which basically boiled down to camping.

But what I did notice was that there were two overflowing streams on either side of my property for water, enough firewood to burn for at least 2 weeks, enough candles to read by, enough food to eat for days, and plenty of warm blankets. The best part was that our neighbors (some I never even met) all came together to support each other and to care for the elderly.

It was suddenly so clear that collectively we were transmuting some deeply rooted and ancient fears of survival, and despite the lack that we are presently surrounded by, we experienced a real opportunity to notice that we were given plenty and even more to share.

During the last several weeks of energy upgrading and vibration jumping, you may have noticed many mini-miracles as well. The irony was that amidst the mental & emotional turmoil and the pain of physical purification, small manifestations were appearing with relative ease...almost like a sign of hope, a light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel.

These mini-miracles were popping up left and right and most were indicative of how life will be in a very short period of time, if it is not already for you. Everything we need will soon be provided for us, as if by magic. These little (and very welcomed) synchronicities are only the beginning of an entirely new way of living in heartfelt love.

So where are we now?

Yesterday, December 21st was the Winter Solstice here in the North and the Summer Solstice in the South, one of the four most powerful portals of the solar year. And here in NY we experienced yet another major storm...this time the storm dumped a foot and half of snow in one day only to be followed by another 8 inches the next...after we finally shovelled ourselves out...whew.

Generally speaking the portal opens 72 hours before the solstice and extends 72 hours after, bringing us to the eve of December 24th in preparation for the re-BIRTH of CHRIST consciousness on CHRISTmas day!

You may be experiencing this energy as intense, however please note that the other side of intensity is great change and the magnification of divine light.

The physical symptoms have been grueling and ongoing as I experienced them since the advent of 12:12 and include: back soreness & pain {especially middle (behind the heart) and lower (root chakra/survival fears}, BLOATING, intenstinal discomfort, candida flare-ups (root chakra clearings) and die-off/healing crisis symptoms, neck pain/soreness, extreme mood swings spanning the whole gamut of human emotion...STRESS, rage to silliness, laughing then tears, sadness and crying, depression, irritability, etc., appetite changes (ravenous hunger for protien & fats), pulsating energy (especially on the left side), insomnia then bouts of deep sleep, waking up tired, physical exhaustion, sinus/ear/respiratory clearings, and detox organ discomfort/twitching/pain. Not fun.

As always, these are temporary and will pass as soon as we have fully integrated this massive influx of energy and purified our bodies to enable more light to enter. We are simply expanding and therefore being pushed to (or beyond : ) our limits. That said, if you can ride the wave neutrally, in complete trust and faith (despite the holidays) you will notice that you are relentlessly cared for and always have exactly what you need.

If you are feeling blocked, stuck, disconnected, a loss of direction or experiencing lack, know that change is on the way!

In actuality, 2008 really is the year of new beginnings..it just took a whole year to get here...till yesterday to be exact. But 2009 is when we will physically experience those new beginnings and implement our desires in the physical.

In fact, we will be off to a running start come January first, as this heralds the very beginning of an important eleven year (in numerology). More on that to come, but for now, stay tuned for many more miracles!

Wishing you and yours a peaceful, & warm holiday season filled with laughter & love...

See you next year!
Lauren
