Orlando-A Spiritual Perspective




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 the passing of HB2 (North Carolina lost millions of dollars from businesses, entertainers, etc. refusing to be affiliated with NC)--I don’t believe we would have seen that 10 years ago. Do you remember in 2009 when a Louisiana justice of the peace refused to marry an interracial couple? Probably not, because while it did get some resistance and media attention, it didn’t get the kind of nationwide ‘hell no we aren’t taking this shit anymore!’ stand for equality that we are seeing now. Things are changing. And when you look past the tragedy itself you can see how it is serving as a catalyst for change. When you look back to the Civil Rights movement there was a lot of death and destruction that served as catalysts for change. Laws changed. Minds changed. Hearts changed.

A new consciousness is emerging and that doesn’t mean overnight utopia. It means that the balance is shifting. We are shifting from fragmented to unified. From fear to love. From intolerance to compassion. This is the trajectory we are on and yes, at times it will be painful. This pain, however, is birthing new (and more loving!) paradigms in the collective consciousness. Paradigms don’t shift easily. It’s messy. It’s polarized. Those who operate primarily from fear will dig in their heels.

The number of mass shootings we are seeing these days aren't happening because the world is getting crazier, they're happening because a higher vibration of love is emerging on our planet and these incidents (as hard as it is to get our minds around this) are the very catalysts that move us into that greater vibration of love. These are the catalysts that will inevitably change our consciousness and change our laws. Within every one of these tragedies are opportunities to examine the way things currently are and what needs to be changed. But we have to understand, this takes time. The work of the Civil Rights movement and all of the wonderful changes that resulted, took many, many years. Hard years. 

It is never my hope to see anyone suffer. It is never my desire to have more violence in the world. At the same time, I understand the nature of our reality in this plane. We are not a utopian society. We are not a spiritually evolved race. Not yet. I understand that the suffering we see is in service to expansion and in that bigger picture, expansion is good. Those who lose their lives and those who lose their loved ones in these violent acts are martyrs for the cause. It is also my understanding that their soul has agreed to play that role for our spiritual evolution. They are the spiritual warriors who have put themselves on the front lines for the sake of the greater good.

And so, as you witness these painful tragedies, I invite you to also witness the solidarity and support that comes on it's heels. I invite you to examine how you can align with the love, support, healing, and change that is emerging. We don't need more hate. We need more love. Hating the terrorist, hating the shooter, hating the bigoted governors and legislatures, this all breeds more of the same. More hate. This is precisely what we are trying to move out of as the collective consciousness is shifting. If all you can do is send love and pray for peace, that is enough. It is more than enough. It is a far better contribution of energy than a contribution to hate and fear. 

In Love,
Heather

The High Heart Chakra--Further Integration

Image
Last year I published an article on the High Heart Chakra (which prior to the Earth's energetic shift existed in our energetic body and is now active in our physical body). Since this is a 'new' chakra to the physical system there has certainly been an acclimation process that many have noticed. I occasionally get questions regarding how one can activate their high heart chakra. This post is in direct response to that particular question. Is this chakra something that we need to activate? If so, how? Below is what the guides have to say as well as a recorded meditation for this chakra. (The original article on the emergence of the high heart chakra can be found here:  http://innerchangemag.com/articles/emergence-activation-high-heart-chakra/ )                                                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "There is no need for activation of the high heart chakra anymore then there is a need to activate your other chakras.

Perspective on the New Administration

Image
We have a new administration coming in this week, and a controversial one at that. This morning I sat down with my teachers in spirit to receive guidance on the "bigger picture" of this. Here is their message:  If Hillary Clinton had become president the current levels of discord and corruption would have continued in your country unchallenged. She represents the status quo in politics and had she won people would not have been roused to action. Donald Trump has brought to clear light the current injustices and issues of inequality that need to be healed and he is so controversial that he roused people from their complacency. There is no question that things need to change in your country and in order for those changes to occur, the people need to act. Something, or someone, needed to wake people from their slumber and initiate this action. This new administration won't so much determine the direction the issues go in as how the people respond to this ad

A Note to the Empaths During Covid-19

Image
So here I am doing the thing I didn't want to do--adding my voice to the corona-convo which feels like adding more noise to a cacophony. I've honestly been trying to avoid the conversation altogether but that has proven impossible. I'm in information overload. I am trying to minimize my intake and yet here I am creating more information. A big (very big) part of me is being drug kicking and screaming to the writing of this post but there is another part of me that needs to write this thing so here we are. For those of you who are feeling overwhelmed, feeling bombarded (with information and with energy), feeling energetically exhausted, who are dealing with the virus situation on it's surface as everyone else is but also have the added burden of feeling and managing all of the energy around it too--this is for you. Because, of all the information being flung around, I have not yet seen any that addresses this unique population of sensitive, intuitive, empathi
