The Birth of Emerge

By: Michelle

I was talking to a friend the other day and explaining the origins of the Emerge class and it occurred to me that you might enjoy hearing about it too.

Jill & I were wanting to offer something to all of you lovely people in our community. We weren't exactly sure what it was going to be so I decided to go into the Akashic Records and ask for guidance.

It always amazes me how powerful and beautiful the messages are for me in the records and this day was no different. The idea for Emerge flowed through me in the most amazing way.

The meditation was so powerful and I could feel the energy surging through me. When it was complete I was completely energized, excited and inspired to share this with all of you so you could experience it too.

The process of creating the mandalas was so fun and I was deep in the creative flow, just playing around with art supplies like I did when I was a kid. The whole process was just... FUN!

Jill was creating a mandala too and when we met to discuss the experience we were so thrilled at the amazing and deep insight we received from our mandalas and we knew even more strongly that we had to share it.

Jill is such an expert in the energetic world and that expertise helped to anchor that energy and keep it flowing and I just knew something so cool was happening.

It's times like these that I am so grateful for learning how to partner with the Universe to allow such amazing gifts to flow through me. And I am so grateful for Jill's talents, wisdom, and her incredibly strong connection to Spirit to create something completely awesome.

Emerge is starting on Monday, April 22nd. I would love to invite you to join us on this journey because I truly believe it is an amazing process!

Spring Energy is Emerging!

Happy spring everyone!

While it doesn't quite feel like spring in our neck of the woods, (yes, it's colder here than it is in Alaska today) we can still feel the spring energy rising and Jill and I are riding it up and up!

We have two exciting announcements to share with you today in honor of the first day of spring.

The first is that we have a new Spring Emergence Mandala for you on our website, ready for download. The energy of this mandala is light, powerful, and bubbling up to be shared. We would love for you to check it out on our website.

The second announcement is in regards to our upcoming Emerge online class. We are finishing up the details and will be ready to launch very soon but we wanted to share this short video to introduce it to you.

We have been working feverishly, fueled by the power of the energy of the Spring Emergence Mandala to bring our first online class to you and we can't wait to launch it. Until then, enjoy this fun little teaser!

Hurricane in the Midwest?

By Michelle

Yesterday I was jumping in my car to head off to my son's soccer practice in my usual mom rush and as I turned onto the street and down the road I was taken back by the sky. It was amazing! In all my years I had never seen a formation of clouds with the kind of pattern I was seeing. It looked like waves in the sky.

I had to stop and ooh and ahh while taking pictures. I wished I had my good camera or better yet, some free time to spend taking more pictures. I pointed it out to my son and he ooh-ed and ahh-ed a bit too and then we got back on track and took off to make it to practice on time.

As I drove I got this funny feeling that the sky I was seeing was connected to the hurricane that was hitting my friends on the east coast and I got this uncomfortable feeling that here I was enjoying something that was causing devastation and hardship to others.

I thought about writing something about this in my blog post that was due to go out the next day and then I thought, "No, I don't really know what I would even say about it."

When we arrived at the practice my son hopped out of the car, leaving me alone for the next hour while I waited for him. I had brought my Tarot of Transformation deck with the intention of pulling a card to get me started on an idea for the next day's blog post.

I'm sure by this time you are getting a feeling that the card I pulled is related and you would be correct. In fact, it was so spot on, I was blown away.

The card I pulled was "Healing the Planet." The first sentence in the description was, "Our earth is in crisis." wow!

It went on to talk about how now is the time that each one of us can adopt the attitudes and actions to heal the planet. That it is time to realize that we can no longer go on living in separation and that realizing that we live in an interconnected web of life with one underlying consciousness is the key.

It asked the question, "What would it look like to recognize the holiness of all life?"

It was an invitation to notice the places in your life where you still see things in terms of separation and to see the ways you participate in the larger problems like the greed of corporations.

It reminded me that no one needs to do this alone and that only together can we heal the planet.

It shifted my thinking and my perspective so now I'm passing it on to you. Ask yourself these questions and if you feel like you can't help, explore the reasons you feel like that and ask yourself why?

Feel your connection with the whole or with the healing energy that is streaming to the earth.

Take a moment to do the following meditation:
Imagine yourself out in space, looking back at earth. Realizing that this is your home and that all the beings here are your family. Let yourself feel the love in your heart. Feel the natural desire of love to help, to reach out to heal the distress that the earth is experiencing right now. You may find yourself joined by dolphins and other beings who are also sending love to the planet. Know that the planet is conscious and responsive and is strengthened by this.

Quick Tips to Shift Your Energy

by Michelle

Have you ever had a time when you felt like your energy just wasn’t feeling right? Maybe you were extra cranky or feeling blue and there really wasn’t any reason for it and you just didn’t know why.

That happened to me last week. I wasn’t actually feeling bad realy but it seemed like things weren’t going my way. Everything that could go wrong was going wrong. Things weren’t running smoothly. I was spilling things, struggling, feeling frustrated, getting behind people who were going 10 miles under the speed limit. Hello…it was testing my patience.

I recognized that something was going on. I tried to leave my house to switch my energy, I even did a verbal coaching session with myself that actually did help my attitude but the energy still felt off.

After a couple of days of this I decided to go into my records and see what exactly was going on. As usual, the information I received was right on and helped shift my mood and my energy the very next day. Things felt back on track and I was back in the flow.

Here are some tips you can try when your energy is feeling a little out of whack. Some are for your home and others are for you personally.

1.      Clean and organize- Pick a spot in your house that could use a some help and give it a little makeover. It may be the place you spend the most time in or the place you’ve neglected lately. It could be as simple as cleaning out a drawer or cleaning your blinds. It’s not about perfection, only progress. Ask yourself what would make this room/house feel the best today?

2.      Open your windows and doors- Let the fresh air in and get the energy moving in your house. If it’s cold out, you can do it for a couple of minutes. Think about what you do when you burn something in your kitchen. You open up the doors and windows and fan the smoke out. Imagine you are fanning in nice, fresh energy.

 

3.      Light some sage-Sage is great to clear the energy. There doesn’t have to be any special kind of ritual. Just light it, walk around your room and allow the smoke to drift into all the corners. For an added boost you can also express gratitude as you sage your house.

4.      Jump in the shower- Sometimes a quick shower can get you in touch with your body and shift your energy. Imagine any stress or tension being washed away and going down the drain.

5.      Head outside for nature time- Involve all of your senses when you spend time in nature especially if you only have a short time. Breathe in the fresh air, hear the birds and animals, feel the warmth of the sun or the cool breeze. Feel yourself connecting with the warm, grounding energy of the earth.

6.      Finish what you start- Before heading onto a new task be sure to complete the one you started. Energy can get muddled when there are several different projects up and running at the same time. Just do a quick check in with yourself before jumping into something new. Ask yourself, “Is there anything that needs to be finished before I start this?”

Do you have any things you like to do to shift your energy? We would love to hear them.
