Soul Expression

Hi friends, Each year the Sedona Journal of Emergence puts out a predictions issue for the coming year. I have been a contributor the last several years and when they asked me if I would like to contribute this year I 'checked in' to see if my spiritual teachers wanted to share something. Nothing came forward so I put it out of my mind and didn't think any more of it. Wouldn't you know--the morning of the deadline for submissions--my dear Pleiadian friends showed up while I was having coffee and indicated they had something they wanted to share for the predictions issue. Talk about procrastinators! Since writing Shift  I haven't often worked with the Pleiadians and it was such an honor and joy to speak with them. Their energy is truly beautiful. Below is their message and I'd like to share it with you. In Love & Gratitude, Heather  Hello! 2017 proves to be an interesting year! 2016 was a year of great spiritual and emotional upheav...

Please Note: This is written from my perspective and my experience as I've processed the results of our election. I did not vote for Trump and I do not support him. My writing stems from that perspective. If you do support him, please know that this is not an attack on you or your judgment and that I respect your right to support whoever you feel is best for you.  I woke up on the morning of November 9th like so many others in our country--devastated, anguished, afraid. I wept. It was a grief unlike any other I had known before. As I moved through that day I continually wept for our planet and for our people. I read the Facebook posts--people launching into "This is a good thing! This is what we need to uproot the old and establish a greater good", which in that moment was the equivalent of telling someone who just lost their loved one that their loved one was "in a better place". It might be true but in those initial moments of grief it doesn't hel...

I feel utterly conflicted and confused. I'm not even sure how to articulate this inner conflict. This election. The pipeline. All creating such a vortex of emotional energy. I don't know what to do so I do the only things I know how to do. I pray. I ask that only the greatest good for all is what transpires. I go to my belief system--that everything we do makes a difference. So I am diligent to continually align my energy with what I want to see in the world. Peace, love, tolerance, acceptance. I try not to criticize those who anger me right now; I try not to add more energetic fuel to their fire. And above all, I breathe. I breathe deeply and fully, trying to stay centered and keep energy flowing. But the truth is, it doesn't feel like enough and I don't know what the fuck to do. Praying, being the change, breathing, it feels like it falls short sometimes. I see the violence that Trump supporters inflict and my own mind becomes violent. Part of me wants to '...

I try to see everything from a ‘bigger picture’ perspective and when tragedies, such as the Orlando shooting, occur I go to the counsel of my teachers in spirit to understand this bigger picture. What I’ve learned is that in the plane we live in, anger and violence are used as catalysts for change. This has always been the case and will continue to be the case as long as there is expansion that can occur through those particular catalysts. I’m not saying it doesn’t hurt and I’m not saying it doesn’t suck. I’m saying that understanding the bigger picture can help us to align with the love and unity that is trying to emerge through these tragedies.   When I look at upsetting situations, like the passing of HB2 and the tragedy in Orlando, what's really standing out to me is this phenomenal expression of solidarity and unity that we haven’t really seen before. The picture I posted here--that’s London showing their love and support for Orlando. The incredible backlash from...

I have spent the past ten days in a tailspin. My guides told me that sharing channeled material is not what is intended, for now. They said this is instead the time for me to share right out of my own heart. To share my own processes as I navigate a spiritual path, to share my experiences and observations as I try to reconcile the desire and drive to expand with the ingrained human bullshit that keeps showing up for me. I didn't take this news very well. I was really moving along just fine, enjoying the channeled information I received from my teachers in spirit and enjoying sharing that info with others.To me, that is valuable information. To me, that is what people want and what they benefit from. Not me ninny-nagging about being stuck or lost or scared. People are busy enough with their own stuff; why on earth would anyone want to hear about mine?? But the message kept coming. Share your process. Write your experience. Be real. Be raw.  This made me realize how unreal I...

Pardon my French. As a disclaimer, there will probably be a little more "french" coming up. Not only is it okay to lose your shit (as if you need my permission to do anything), but it's healthy. The times in my life that I have found the most clarity have been immediately following a grand mal meltdown, old school temper tantrum style. Ranting, cursing, fussing, heels dug in. Usually these tantrums were the culmination of weeks if not months of unreleased frustration. Once I allowed that to move through me in a completely slobbery, snotty, uncivilized way (no one says it has to look pretty), I realized that it made the space for something else. Clarity. Calm. Peace. So there's that. And then, there's also this desire, especially among those on a spiritual path, to "be the change we want to see in the world". I truly believe in this philosophy and I truly believe it is the way to changing our world for the better. So how do we reconcile this idea o...
