soul families

Four year ago, I never thought I’d be leaving DC… but here it is. Life changes quickly, and in an instant a new chapter begins in our lives. The past few weeks have been an emotional roller coaster, trying to see everyone before I head out, trying to get one last visit to my favorite places, but those all just become reasons to come back.

I often tell my clients that DC is a spiritual training ground. That many of us end up to go through the paces. My time here was not always the easiest, but in the end it helped me to grow into who I am now. We grow through the experience of living a complete life, one that both embraces love and pain fully.

This is one of the first times in my life that I am stepping into complete uncertainty, and I am okay with that. I am okay in the “not knowing”, not having to control the next steps of my life, and this has helped to realize that for the longest time I was not living in the present, and I really missed out on the people and experiences in my life. The past few months have shown me that we have to breathe into each moment deeply, and to just be present. DC has a way of getting you caught in the hustle and bustle. People tend to be movement driven, and I’m not saying that is a bad thing, but when it is not balanced with presence we really miss out. I see so many people tied to their electronics here… how many sunsets do they miss looking at “memes”? I realized I was doing a lot of this as well, but more caught up in my mind’s patterns of worry, doubt, and judgement. When the rug gets pulled out from underneath you, and there is nothing left to cling to, it changes your perspective on things, but closure does that.

Being closer to family, and coming back to my literal roots is going to be a positive thing. I’m going to work on developing my yoga practice, my healing work, and finally write the book I’ve been putting off for so long. My work is far from done, but sometime we need a change of pace, and a chance to gain clarity on our experience.

I will be back to the area to visit, to teach, and to be with friends/soul family.

I will miss many things here in DC, but I am looking forward to the next adventure, the unfolding journey, the next breath.

You are Loved. You are Beautiful. You are Divine.

Namaste.

The universal alarm clock has sounded. The world is waking up. The light and the dark are both stepping onto the playing field.

We have to be sure that we hold our power, that we hold our space in this cycle. Where is your truth? Where is your light coming from? We have to be sure that as we beginning connecting to teachers, guides and community that we be sure we are using discernment.

We have to be careful where we place our alignment. Blind faith is dangerous.

As light comes in, so will the dark. There will be those that carry the bright darkness that will bring messages, but for many of these teachers their truth comes with a price. What are you willing to give away for that person’s truth?

We each have work to do. We each are teachers, students and holders of light. It is important that we start connecting to our soul families. It’s time that we start stepping into our own light and help to ignite the light in those around us. Its time that we stop being followers, and start becoming leaders. First you have to wake up to your own light and know that you are just as powerful as those that claim to hold all the answers.

A lot of people throw around “new age speak” like candy on Halloween. Don’t get lost in all the talk of merkabas, light, and ascension. Step out and help those that are in need. Get out from behind the walls of your computer, your facebook groups, and actually become part of the transition. Change doesn’t happen because you are sitting in your room hoping to astral project. Change happens when you volunteer to help the homeless, organize park clean ups, and get your hands dirty with the world around you. A merkaba might be great, but even better is the satisfaction that you actually made a difference in this world.

Follow your own light, and shine it brightly… shine fiercely
