Today's Affirmation

 

 "Today I will be more conscious of the words I speak.  I will make an effort to communicate honestly and kindly."

 

Good morning and Happy Halloween!!

 

 

THE THROAT CHAKRA

 

The throat is positioned over the throat is blue.  It is our center for communication-not only with others, but with ourselves as well.  This chakra governs truth and honesty, and it can also house denial-a lack of truth and honesty with ourselves.

 

Physically, the throat chakra governs the throat, esophagus, the mouth, the larynx.  People who experience issues in these areas such as reflux, most probably have a blockage in the throat chakra.

 

When this chakra is healthy, the blue is vibrant and rich, but when blockage occurs, it can be varying shades of darker blue, that range toward deep midnight blue, almost black (worst case scenario).

 

In order to improve throat chakra health, try this exercise:

 

Sit comfortable with your fee flat on the floor and your hands resting in your lap. 

 

Close your eyes. 

 

Breathe-in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Breath in for a count of three, hold the breath for a count of three, and then exhale for a count of three.  Breathe in this way for the duration of this exercise.

 

Now using your imagination, visualize a small pin prick of blue light in the distance.  Focus on this spot of blue light.

 

Now see this pin prick of blue light traveling toward you.  As it comes closer, it grows in size until it is about he size of a tennis ball.  As it comes closer, the color becomes more pronounced until it takes on its natural shade.

 

Let this blue light come closer and closer until it is right in front of you.  This  blue ball of light represents your throat chakra.  Now let the blue tennis ball-sized ball of light permeate your throat until it rests directly in the middle of the throat.

 

This chakra contains a way to open it-a latch or zipper or button or lock and key or any other method that is appropriate and comfortable for you.

 

Open the throat chakra.

 

Release any blockages to honest communication and kind words.  Let go of hurtful words that others have said to you.  Let go of  sarcasm.  Let go of self denial.  Let go of criticism-of yourself and others.  Let go hateful words that you have stored there. 

 

Let your throat unclench and release any and all blockages to communication.  See the blockages and harmful words leaving the throat as smoke or fog or mist or dirty water.  Let it rise into the sky until you can no longer see it.

 

Now imagine that you are standing under a blue and beautiful cloudless sunny sky and the sun is shining down of you.  Tilt your head back and let a beam of white, warm, and bright sunlight shine on your throat. 

 

Let the sunlight penetrate this chakra filling it completely with warm, white light.  Let the white light pour into this chakra until it is completely full and overflows.

 

Now using the latch, zipper, button, lock and key, or any other appropriate method, close this center securely.

 

Know that your throat chakra is clean and healed and sealed.  Know that it is now as it should be.  Know that the Universe supports your healing and that the Universe will guide your words.  Know that you can support yourself with honest words and kind words.

 

Now, when you feel ready, stretch your body and open your eyes.

 

Have a lovely day.  Enjoy your new communication skills.  Have a wonderful Halloween!

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 

 

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will open my heart to the unconditional love of the Universe."

 

Good morning to you.  Today we continue our series on the chakras.

 

THE HEART CHAKRA

 

The heart chakra is exactly where the name implies-over the heart.  This energy center is green and governs our emotions.  When the heart chakra is completely healthy, it is a vibrant green, like emerald, but when it needs repair, it can appear as a range of darker greens.

 

The heart chakra houses our feelings towards others and particularly those with whom we are in relationship.  Nothing will turn a heart chakra dark green like bitterness, so it is best to work on our negative feelings towards others so that we can regain our emotional health.

 

Additionally, this chakra also houses our love for ourselves, because it is very close to the solar plexus, our heart chakra can be influenced by our self image and in some cases, it can harbor all levels of self-dislike/self-hatred. 

 

 

To remove any lingering feelings of bitterness and resentment toward ourselves and others, forgive ourselves and others, and to open our hearts to true Universal Love and work toward self acceptance, try this exercise:

 

 

Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor.  Rest your hands in your lap.  Close your eyes.

 

Breathe-in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Breathe in for a count of three.  Hold for a count of three.  Exhale for a count of three.  Continue this breathing technique for the remainder of the exercise.

 

Use your imagination to see a green glowing heart in the are of your chest that contains your heart.  See the green heart pulsing with energy.  Make note of the shade of green.  This will indicate the level of blockage in this chakra. 

 

Don't be afraid or disappointed if the heart chakra is not bright green.  Just go with it.

 

Imagine that this green heart has a latch, zipper, button, lock and key, or any other way that it can be opened.

 

Open it now.  As it opens, it immediately begins to release whatever has clogged and blocked the heart from healthy emotion.

 

Let the heart release the blockage.  Let it flow out of the heart.  Visualize the release as smoke or steam or fog or dirty water or whatever image feels comfortable for you.

 

As the blockage releases, let it rise up and away from you.  Imagine it going up into the sky, traveling upward through the earth's atmosphere and into the universe, into the cosmos where it disperses into miniscule bits.

 

Say this, "I release all blockages to love, self acceptance, and forgiveness.  I forgive myself and those who have hurt me.  I understand that harboring bitterness, anger, and resentment toward myself and others will make me ill, and I let it go."

 

Now, picture the green glowing heart getting brighter and brighter, filling with light, filling and filling, getting brighter and brighter until it is shining and pulsing with light.

 

Now say this, "I accept the unconditional love of the Universe.  I accept all of myself, faults and all.  I love and nurture myself, faults and all."

 

Now close the heart using the latch, zipper, button, lock and key, or whatever method you used to open the heart.

 

Know that within this heart chakra is bright and healing energy and that your heart will continue to heal over time.  Know that the Universe supports your emotional growth and love you unconditionally.  Embrace this knowledge.

 

Now, take a few deep breaths, stretch and open your eyes.

 

Go forth today with love in your heart and a smile on your face.  All good things happen through love.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 



 

 



Today's Affirmation
 

"Today I will be mindful of my solar plexus.  Today I will follow my intuition and do what is right for my own personal and spiritual growth and progress." 

 

 

THE SOLAR PLEXUS CHAKRA

 

The solar plexus chakra is positioned over the solar plexus.  If you feel where your ribs join in the front, the solar plexus is right below that.

 

This chakra is yellow.  In good health, it is bright and shiny yellow.  But when it is over full, clogged, stagnant, it can appear mustard yellow to a brown-gold in color.

 

The solar plexus is the area that our intuition lets us know that it is working.  I am sure that you have heard the expression, "gut feeling."  This is because even though our intuition is multi-sensory, it signals us in that center of energy.

 

The solar plexus also is our center for storing memories and experiences both from this lifetime and previous lifetimes.  It also functions as our center for self worth, self esteem, self image-all of which are formed through our childhood and adult experiences.

 

This chakra also governs the stomach, and when this chakra is ill, then problems with the stomach can occur.  Those with severe or chronic stomach issues, most probably are storing lifetimes of trauma that have negatively impacted their view of themselves.

 

In order to keep the solar plexus in good working order and to release any energy that is no longer needed or beneficial, try this short exercise.

 

Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor and your hands resting comfortably in your lap.

 

Close your eyes.

 

Take some deep breaths-in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Breathe in for a count of three, hold the breath for a count of three, and exhale for a count of three.  Repeat this breathing throughout this exercise.

 

Imagine a beautiful sunny day with a blue sky.  Not a cloud in the sky. 

 

See the sun yellow, vibrant, radiant, shining above you in the blue sky.

 

Raise your face to the sun.  Feel its warmth shining on you.  Feel your whole body encompassed in the sun's light and warmth.  Feel safe and wonderful surrounded by the warm, bright light of the sun.

 

Now focus on the sun itself, focus on the bright, yellow, warm orb in the sky above you.  Let that bright, yellow, warm energy flow toward your solar plexus in a concentrated beam of light.

 

Feel the beam of the sun's light and warmth penetrating your solar plexus, going deep, deep inside of you until it reaches your solar plexus chakra-a tennis ball sized, center of yellow energy.

 

As the sun's rays enter the solar plexus, the solar plexus begins to open and any negativity, stagnation, or outmoded views of yourself, childhood fears and images begin to burn away.

 

Let the sun's light continue to burn away, like a laser, anything in the solar plexus chakra that is no longer appropriate to your personal and spiritual progress at this moment. 

 

You can visualize the release of the old as either the melting of ice or the shattering and floating away of glass.  You can imagine it in any way that is seemly and appropriate to you.

 

When you feel that enough old, outmoded, negative energy has been released, then let the sun's beam fill the empty space.  Let it fill till overflowing, until it cannot possibly hold any more light.

 

Then, close the chakra and let the sun's ray return to the sun.

 

Know that what was necessary to release has been released and you are now lighter, healthier, and freer.

 

Go with the god of your choice today.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will celebrate my creative self and take opportunities to be creative."

 

Good morning to you!  This morning we continue our series on the chakra system.

 

THE SACRAL CHAKRA

 

This chakra can also be called the belly chakra or the navel chakra because it is located just below the belly button.  It is orange in color.  When it is healthy, it is vibrant like an orange, but when it is clogged or too full, it can range from deep orange to a brown.

 

The sacral chakra oversees our reproductive system, fertility, creativity, and the "chi"-the life force (the "chi" in tai chi).  Although creative ideas are born in our heads, they are manifested through the sacral chakra.  If we are working on a creative project, looking for a creative solution, implementing a creative process, or working toward manifesting our ideas into reality, we work with the color orange, and work through our sacral chakra.

 

Folks who suffer from difficulties in the reproductive organs may be doing so because of a serious issue in the sacral chakra, primarily, the lack of movement.  Each chakra spins, as I mentioned the other day, but if a chakra is stagnant and barely moving, then energy has built up but not been released.  This is what causes the clog.

 

In severe cases, the clog has been building for lifetimes  o if we want to manifest effectively, if we want to continue to be creative, then we need to ensure the health of our sacral chakra.

 

You can use yesterday's exercise with the dot of light, this time using orange, OR you can try this short exercise to drain the sacral chakra of negative energy, clear out stagnant energy, and restore it to full health:

 

Sit comfortable with your feet flat on the floor.  Rest your hands in your lap.  Close your eyes.

 

Take deep breaths-in through the nose and out through the mouth. 

 

Breathe in for three, hold the breath for three, and then exhale for three.  Repeat this until you feel relaxed and at peace.

 

Now , focus on your belly button.  Imagine that your belly button is filled with orange light, that it is surrounded with orange light-about the size of a tennis ball.  Move the orange ball of light down from your belly button about 2 inches.  This is the correct placement for the sacral chakra.

Imagine that the orange ball of light has a latch, zipper, button, lock and key-something that allows you to open the ball of light.

Now open the sacral chakra.  As you open it, you will immediately feel a lessening of tension and stress in that part of the body.

Visualize the chakra emptying of all that is no longer necessary for your health, personal and spiritual growth, and creativity.  Let these things exit by imagining them as smoke, steam, fog, dirty water, or whatever is a comfortable image for you.

Let all of  clog flow out until there is nothing left to come out.

Now imagine the bright, warm light of the sun.  Imagine that a beam of this beautiful sunlight is shining on you, shining on this chakra, filling it with its positive and warm energy.

Let the chakra absorb as much light as possible until it is filled to overflowing.  Now close your chakra using the latch, zipper, button, lock and key.

Feel a sense of well being and relief.  Know that your  sacral chakra is clean, healed, and sealed.

Enjoy your day!  Be creative and enjoy it!!!!

In Light and Love,
Robin



 

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will be mindful of my root chakra, and work toward fulfilling my own personal, basic needs."

 

Good morning!

 

This morning we continue with the chakra series:

 

THE ROOT CHAKRA

 

The root chakra is located at the base of the spine, just above the line that divides the buttocks.  The root chakra is red.  When it is healthy, it is bright red, but when it is clogged, overstuffed, not entirely healthy, it can range from a dark, brick red to a reddish brown, similar to the way blood looks when it dries.  It spins at the slowest speed, and is associated with the lowest frequency.

 

The root chakra governs our very basic needs, that which we need for our survival.  If we think about early man on the planet, whatever his concerns were for his survival, are our concerns too, and that is the province of the root chakra:  food, shelter, protection.  It also governs our most basic physical needs like sex and the expulsion of waste from our bodies.  Additionally, the root chakra also houses our most primitive emotions, particularly the negative ones, primarily anger.  I am sure we have all heard the expression, "to see red," meaning to be enraged.

 

Physically, the root chakra governs the large intestine, bladder, rectum, colon, all parts that have to do with the expulsion of waste.

 

Those who have severe problems with any of these areas, as well as issues like anger management, insecurity, jealousy, sometimes finances (since finances impact housing) generally suffer from an imbalance or clogged root chakra.

 

Here is a very short exercise that you can do to bring your root chakra into balance:

 

Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor and your hands resting in your lap.  Close your eyes.

 

Breathe deeply:  in through your nose, and out through your mouth.  Breathe in for a count of three, hold the breath for a count of three, and then exhale for a count of three.

 

Repeat this breathing throughout the exercise.

 

Now using your imagination, see a tiny red light in the distance.  See the tiny red light moving slowly toward you. The red light represents the root chakra energy.   Let the red light come closer and closer.

 

Now, let it move through your body into your lower abdomen until it reaches the center of the body.  Visualize the small red light.  Now, let the size increase slowly.  Let it slowly grow until it is the approximate size of a tennis ball.

 

Now imagine that this ball of light has a latch or zipper or button or lock and key-something to use to open it.

 

Open it up, and let out anything that has been stored there that is no longer necessary to your personal and spiritual growth.  You can visualize these things as cobwebs or smoke or mist or gray fog or dirty water or any other image that you feel is appropriate for you.

 

Let all of that yuckiness go until there is nothing else coming out.

 

Next, imagine that a bright, warm light is filling all of the empty space that is left behind from the exiting of the yuckiness.  Let the bright, warm light completely fill this area until it overflows and can hold no more light.

 

Once this occurs, close it using your latch, zipper, button, lock and key, etc.

 

Feel confident that this root chakra is clean and sealed and healed.

 

Take a few deep breaths, stretch your body, and open your eyes.

 

Feel good today and always!

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 

 

 

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will be more aware of each of my energy centers, my chakras."

 

 

Greetings and Salutations! 

 

Welcome to the first entry in the chakra series!

 

What are the chakras? 

 

The chakras are centers/spinning circles of energy that exist in the spirit part of our bodies, our ethereal bodies. 

 

The first is at the base of the spine (root chakra) and is red.  Then at the navel (sacral chakra) and is yellow.  The solar plexus is third and is yellow.  Next is the heart chakra-green.  The throat is next and it is blue.  In the middle of the forehead is the third eye chakra which is indigo.  And finally, at the top of the head is the crown chakra; it is violet (sometimes seen as bright white or even golden).

 

Not only is each chakra is a different color, but each spins at a different rate of speed, stores specific kinds of information, and governs the body parts that are in its vicinity.

 

Because the chakras also absorb energy as well as store energy, they can fill up, clog up, slow down, and cease to be effective.  When this happens, and it does if we do not maintain the system. then it is necessary to clean them out.

 

Think of it like this:  If you don't take care of your teeth, then yuckiness builds up and then you are forced to go to the dentist to take care of the problem.  Once the initial cleaning is done, then it is necessary, for good dental hygiene, to do maintenance, and to visit the dentist once or twice a year for a check up.  By doing this, we ensure that all is well and that any issues we have with our teeth will be taken care of, thus preventing greater problems later.

 

Now apply this to the chakras.  Even though we cannot see them with our physical eyes or capture them on an x-ray or MRI, doesn't mean they don't exist.  And it is just as necessary for our total overall health to not only clear them out once in a while, but to maintain their good health.  If the chakras are clean, balanced, and in good health, then we are balanced and in good health.

 

Not to overwhelm you with too much information at one time, for today, just work on trying to visualize each of your chakras. 

 

Join me tomorrow for information about the root chakra along with an exercise that you can do to help bring your root chakra in better health.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 

Today's Affirmation
 

"Today I will focus on my own well-being.  Today, I will nurture my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body." 

 

 

The world is great and wide as is the universe.  It is impossible for us, with our limited minds, to truly understand all things.  Even now, science is just beginning to see a closer connection among all things universal.  They are beginning to see correlations among things that previously were thought to be "unscientific".

 

So, if the experts who study the cosmos can't explain all things or haven't yet explored all things, then how can we, the average person, even begin to to completely understand how the cosmos works?

 

I like that science is now working toward support beliefs that many people have held for ages.  It finally validates, in the eyes of the masses, that these things exist.

 

I told you not long ago about the Dr. Oz program on meditation and the scientific experiments being done to show that it actually has powerful physical, mental, emotional, spiritual impact.  Well, a friend of mine (Thank you, Mary) told me the other day that Dr. Oz did a program earlier in the week on the chakras (energy centers within the ethereal body).

 

I have been working with the chakra system for over 30 years and have worked with others to clear, heal, rebalance their own chakras. 

 

Beginning tomorrow, Saturday, October 26, I will do a series on the chakra system.  I will give an overview of what they are and how they work, and each day, I will discuss each chakra separately, and then give a little meditation to help you explore, clear, heal, rebalance, harmonize, and protect your own chakras.

 

I hope you will join me for this chakra series.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 



Today's Affirmation

 "Today I will take responsibility only for myself and let others be responsible for themselves."

 

 

If we really want to make personal and spiritual progress, then we need to begin to separate the responsibilities that really belong to us from those responsibilities that we take on that really don't belong to us.

 

Because we are responsible people, we take on more responsibility than we need to.  We take on responsibility for everyone in our lives. 

 

Yes, in the case of children, small children, as parents we need to be responsible for them, but there comes a time in each child's life, in our lives, when our responsibility should diminish in order to let the child take responsibility for himself.  As the child matures, we should allow him more and more age-appropriate responsibility,  until, as a young adult, the child can take on full responsibility for himself.

 

But our children are not the only ones we take responsibility from.  We take on responsibility for our husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, friends, bosses, colleagues, neighbors, students.....You name it, some of us feel responsible for EVERYBODY in our lives.

 

It is not up to us, it is not our responsibility to be responsible for everybody in our lives.  We only need to be responsible for ourselves. 

 

When we take on responsibility for everybody else, we take on stress and anxiety and worry.  Then, when things go awry, we look at ourselves and say, "Where did I go wrong?  What didn't I do that I should have done?"

 

Well, here it is, folks......what we should have done was to allow the person to be responsible for himself.  We only need to look to ourselves and govern ourselves.  Others must do the same-take on full responsibility for their own action and behavior. 

 

We are NOT the monitors of the world.  When we take responsibility that belongs to others, we deny them the opportunity to learn valuable lessons, make mistakes, and correct their behavior.  In short, we deny them the opportunity to make personal progress and reinforce the idea that others are to blame when things don't turn out.

 

So, begin observing those in your life from whom you take responsibility.  Begin by releasing responsibility for them to them.  Start with small things.  Start by saying, "I love you, but it is not my responsibility to (fill in the blank)."

 

A quick anecdote:  The other day my 21 year old son overslept and said to me, "Mom, why didn't you wake me up?"  My response was, "It is not my responsibility to see to it that you wake up for school.  That is your responsibility."  Now he sets his alarm earlier than he needs to so that he can get up in time."

 

Go with the god of your choice.

In Love and Light,

Robin

 



Today's Affirmation

"Today I will be honest with myself and work on my faults and shortcomings."

 

No one knows us better than we know ourselves.  It is important for us to support ourselves and our personal, spiritual, emotional growth.  We do this by trying to be as honest with ourselves as possible.  Accepting this self knowledge is the first step in correcting our faults and shortcomings.

 

We all have faults.  We all have shortcomings.  Recognizing them and actively working toward them should be our goal.  Some of our faults may be easy to overcome.  But some of them may need special awareness and attention.  With some of our personal challenges, we may need to work on them constantly. 

 

The time is right to bring ourselves into awareness about ourselves and begin working toward eliminating or at least work toward correcting ourselves.  By pouring effort into ourselves, we become closer to who we truly were meant to be.  We  become closer to our ideal self.  We become more in balance with ourselves, and thus, we become more in harmony with ourselves, our family and friends, our environment, our higher selves.

 

So, for today, work toward self knowledge of personal challenges.  Cultivate an awareness and actively work toward eliminating those things that hold you back from making positive personal progress.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 



Today's Affirmation

"Today I will recognize that there is a season for all things."

 

One of my favorite things, the thing I miss the most about living in New England is the turn of the season from summer to autumn.  Even when I was a girl, there was something about autumn that excited me, exhilarated me. 

 

The change of seasons was palpable in the air.  There seemed to be an electricity.  The air was noticeably cooler.  The trees began to turn to orange and red and brown and burgundy.  And then the leaves would, one by one, flutter to the ground and crunch under my feet as I walked over them.

 

When I was very young, my sister and I would rake up all the leaves in our yard into a giant pile, and then run and jump in them.  What was it about laying in a pile of crunchy leaves that smelled of the end of a season?  I never could put my finger on it, but I loved it just the same.

 

People don't think we have a change of seasons in South Florida, but we do.  Not on the scale of the northern states, but we do experience the transition from summer to fall.  The air is less hot, there is less humidity, the same exhilaration and excitement floats in the breeze, although to one less perceptible, it may go unnoticed.  For me, I can always tell and I always look forward to it.

 

Some of our trees lose their leaves and go dormant until spring-my frangipanies and my crepe myrtles go dormant.  Everything slows down.  The grass grows less quickly.  The pool is too cool to swim.

 

Flocks of birds from the north arrive bringing with them their songs.  The ducks arrive,  We have two brown ducks who come every winter to our yard.  They swim in our pool, eat the seed that has fallen to the ground from the feeder, and just sit in the shade if it's too warm or sit in the sun if it is too cool.  They will generally stay throughout the winter and then leave again in spring.  Their arrival signals to me that life has grown cold and dormant in the northern United States.

 

For me it is a time of Robert Frost-"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood..."  It is a time of Walden and Emerson and Thoreau.  It is a time of transition.  A time of reflection.  A time of change.  It is a time of tying up loose ends, of cleaning out the old and stuffy stuff to make room for new things.  It is a time that leads to holidays and families and celebrations and food and drink and good will.

 

The autumn is part of me, part of all of us.  A critical step in the process of birth and death and renewal.  It is the continuation of a cycle.  It is reliable and constant and that comforts me.  "For all things, there is a season."

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

Today's Affirmation

"Today, I will make an effort to seek out a moment of perfection and enjoy it."

 

Moments of Perfection.

 

This is the perfect time, on a weekend day, to find a moment of pure perfection.  It really doesn't take much to find one.  All it involves is sitting peacefully, undisturbed, and recognizing that at that very moment, perfection exists.

 

Because I live in a warm place year round, South Florida, it is easy for me to go outdoors and sit in the sunshine and look out at my gardens.  When I do this, when I just sit, quietly, and breathe, and look out over my personal Eden, and see the rays of sun hitting the trees and plants and see the rippling of breeze across the water in the swimming pool and see the birds clamoring at the birdfeeder, I am convinced that yes, this is perfection.  Then I walk out into the sunshine and close my eyes and feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, on my face and I listen to the quietness and stillness and I say to myself, "This moment, this very moment, is a moment of perfection."

 

The short perfect moments encourage me.  They make me happy.  They make me realize that in all of the hustle and bustle of such a busy life, I can find a moment to myself, even if it is only for a few seconds or a few minutes, that are perfect.

 

Perfection does exist but sometimes we are so busy, so overwrought with tasks, that we forget that they do exist, we forget they are just a breath away.

 

So for today, take a few seconds or a few minutes and look for a moment of pure perfection. 

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

Today's Affirmation:

"I am the image of the Universal Source, and my inner light shines out upon the world."

 

 

A channeled message for you this morning from the Angels of the Sisterhood.

 

A lifetime's journey is a short journey compared to the journey of the soul which never ceases, but continues onward after it has shed its human body.

 

The soul is ALL.  The physical body is a costume that one dons for a short period of time and then removes it to return its natural state.

 

There is never only this which you see and experience for a blink of an eye in the course of infinite time.  Lifetimes are blinks and you have had many of them.  The object always is to advance the soul and learn as much as possible from this training ground.

 

You have been all, seen all, done all.  But now the time is right for you to decide what to do with all the knowledge and wisdom that you have gained over these lifetimes.

 

Is it important to know all the details of the lifetimes?  No.  What is important is that you remember the lessons and embrace them.  The more you embrace what you have learned, the more progress you will make, and the sooner you may return to the Source and reunite with Divinity.

 

We have said this to you before that man and woman have been created in the image of God or the Universal Source or the ALL and of the Everything.  By this we do not mean that this physical body is the resemblance.  By this we mean that man brings his Divinity with him each time he incarnates into physical form.  It is man's essence that is the form of God, the One, the All, the Everything.

 

Man is Divine as God is Divine.  As God is infinite;, man is infinite.

 

So dear children, persevere in your tasks and call upon upon the angelic realm for assistance.

 

Call upon us to explain that which you do not understand.  We know that many things are perplexing to you and you may not understand the purpose behind such events as occur in  your lives.  But trust the Universe.  And ask.  Ask for clarification.  Ask for illumination.  Ask for understanding. 

 

The wisdom of the Infinite One is indeed infinite,, but knowledge is always available.  Ask for it.  It shall be given to you.

 

Go out into the world and create beauty around you.  Go out into the world and experience what the world has to offer.  Find joy, find peace, be in harmony with all.

 

With our deepest love,  

 

The Angels of the Sisterhood.

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will persevere in the face of all obstacles."

 

Sometimes we just need to put our head down and forge ahead. Sometimes we need to head into the storm, into the blizzard, into the rushing blowing sand.  Sometimes we have no choice. 

 

This does not mean that it is easy to move forward during times like this.  Times like these are exhausting, they deplete us and they make us question what the heck we are doing and why we are doing it.

 

Times like this can be discouraging and sometimes desperate. In times like this, we need to breathe.  We need to reach out to whatever Higher Power we believe is out there and offer up a prayer, a request for help.

 

We need to feel in our hearts and know in our brains that our Higher Power is hearing us, is sending us the help that we need to face the challenge and to overcome the challenge.  We just need to hang on and hang in there.  Help will come.  Help always comes.  And we need to stand firm in our belief that help is coming.

 

There are lessons in all things, and in this too.  Sometimes the lesson is to courageously forge ahead or to stand up and stand firm in the face of adversity.  Sometimes the lesson is to back down, knowing that there is nothing we can do at that moment that will make a difference in the situation.  Sometimes the lesson is simply do nothing except to ask for help and wait patiently for the Universe/our Higher Power to act.

 

So, my lovelies, for today, stand firm.  Believe that your Higher Power/the Universe sees all, knows all, and is only a thought, less than a thought away.  Plant your feet firmly, put your head into the wind, and forge ahead.  Be strong and be brave.  Help is on the way!

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 

 

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Regardless of what presents itself in my path today, I will be focused, grounded, and centered."

 

Sometimes we just have to detach from what is going on around us and focus on ourselves.  By doing this we can avoid emotional entanglements, especially those that throw us off and make us angry.

 

By disconnecting from outside stimuli, and just keeping our attention on our own tasks, we can make much better progress and get things done without too much hassle.

 

So, for today, let go of what is happening around you and focus on what is happening within you. 

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will make a conscious effort to meditate for a few minutes.  I will breathe deeply, release tension and stress, and enjoy the feeling of peace and relaxation."

 

Yesterday, while I was sitting in the waiting room of the doctor's office, the television was broadcasting Dr. Oz's program.  Although I know who Dr. Oz is, I have never watched his program or accessed his website.  But what caught my attention, was that the topic of he and his guests were discussing was a subject very important to me:  Meditation.

 

Not only do I meditate regularly, I have been teaching meditation for years, am currently teaching a meditation class.  Nonetheless...

 

Dr. Oz's program focused on the scientific studies being done on meditation.  I was, of course, immediately intrigued.  The research includes comparing the brains of those who meditate and those who do not meditate regularly.  MRI's were done, and the results were telling.  The brains of those who meditate regularly were shown to have much more oxygen circulating throughout the brain, particularly in the front area. 

 

Another study revealed that meditation clearly lowers blood pressure. 

 

From personal experience, I can testify to this.  Meditation not only helps to improve overall physical health, it also can forge pathways which allow us to access higher knowledge and wisdom, and to better see the connections among all things.  It offers us the opportunity to explore ideas and make a higher spiritual connection.  It makes us better people overall.

 

So, dear friends...Sit comfortable with your feet flat on the floor and your hands in your lap palms up. 

 

Take deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth.  Let your body release its stress and tension and let your mind release its chatter. 

 

Just sit and breath and relax.  You don't have to think about anything special at all.  Just concentrate on the breath. 

 

Do this for a few minutes, any amount of time will be a benefit to you.  When you feel ready, take a deep breath, stretch your body, and open your eyes.  You will feel relaxed and renewed and more focused.

 

Have a wonderful day!

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 

P.S. I am traveling to a wedding upstate later today, and I will not be here to blog over the weekend, but my thoughts will be with all of you.  Live positively and with conscious awareness!  See you on Monday!

"All things are possible through prayer."

 

Here is a little story for you this morning:

 

"There once was a man who had passed on from his human life and had gone into the Great Beyond.  When he arrived there, there was a beautiful angel who greeted him and offered to show him around.

 

He saw many beautiful and wondrous sights and was awed and amazed at how beautiful the Great Beyond was.

 

Then the angel took him to what looked to be a huge airplane hangar which went on and on for miles and miles.  Inside, the building was lined with huge shelves from floor to ceiling holding all manner of things-from houses to boats to bicycles to piles of cash to stereo systems to ponies to well, everything that one can imagine.

 

The man, puzzled, turned to the angel and said, 'What is this place and why are all of these things here?'

 

The angel answered him, 'This is where we store all of the things that people prayed for but were to impatient to wait for.'"

 

 

So, my dear friends, pray ceaselessly, indeed, for your desires and your needs, but be patient.  The Universe will provide when the time is right.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I accept that I am not perfect and will practice overcoming my personal challenges."

 

 

The first step to enlightenment is recognizing our personal shortcomings and accepting them.  Once we have done this, then the next step is to work on overcoming them. 

 

It is not easy to accept the truth about ourselves, especially when the truth is not so nice.  But knowing that the Universe supports our growth and our enlightenment makes it just a wee bit easier to work on those shortcomings and eventually overcome them.

 

Realistically, they never really go away, we just become better at handling them.  But isn't that the point?  To become better and better at keeping those shortcomings in check so that we can make forward progress.

 

There are times when we are very aware of those parts of ourselves that need work and then again there are other times when they sneak up on us and slip out.

 

But our goal should not be perfection, for we can never achieve such an unrealistic goal.  Our goal should be to be vigilant and to aspire to overcome.  Each time that we overcome the challenge that Universe presents to us, the more confident we become about being capable and able to overcome.

 

A friend of mine used to say, "Progress not perfection."  She was so wise, and her statement is so true.

 

So, dear friends, for today, practice progress and don't get discouraged about not being perfect.

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

 

 

 

 



Today's Affirmation

 

"Today I will focus on the process, not the outcome."

 

 

Sometimes we get so fixated on the outcome that we forget about the process.  The process is just as important if more important than the outcome.  If we focus on the process, then the outcome is assured, perhaps not as we imagined, but nonetheless, the outcome is assured.

 

For today, work through the process without concern for the outcome.  Focus on each step and do it well.  Find satisfaction in each of the steps.  Look at each completed step and say, "Ah, this is done well."  Then move on to the next step.

 

Create completion through the process.  Recognize that all things are a process, and that sometimes the process takes time.  Breathe, be patient, and enjoy the process!

 

In Love and Light,

Robin

Today's Affirmation:

 

"Today, I will draw the power and energy of the earth to keep myself steady and in harmony and balance."

Good morning and happy Saturday,

For today, take advantage of the sunshine.  Raise your face to the sun and soak it in.  Walk on the green grass or the cold earth and let the energy of the earth empower you.

If you live in a cold place and nature is dormant, stand on the firm earth and gather strength from it.  Know that the earth supports you, and take in the lesson that there is a time for all things.  Perhaps for you who live in cold places, that is a time to bring projects to a close, a time to rest, a time to work toward completion.

For those who live in warm places, let the power and strength of the earth rise within you.  Absorb it.  For you in warm places, there is also a time to bring projects to a close, a time to rest and a time to work toward completion.

Cold or warm, the earth offers us its strength.  When we feel weak, we can draw from its strength.  When we feel uncertain, we can draw from its surety.  When we feel scattered and unbalanced, we can draw from its gravity.

Today, consider the power of nature and of the planet.  Walk on it, enjoy it.  Remember, it is a living thing as we are living things, find harmony and peace and balance in its steadiness.

In Love and Light,

Robin

 

Today's Affirmation:

 

"My home is filled with Light and Love, and that which is good and true and pure shall enter."

 

 

A Cleansing and Blessing For Your Home

 

There is never a bad time to move old energy out of your living space, cleanse the space, and make room for the new energy and more positive en energy.  Energy accumulates, just like the items we shove in our closets, and periodically we need to clean it all out. 

Also, the more people traffic we have in our homes, the more energy is left behind.  It's not a problem if the people coming and going are positive and well balanced people (such as ourselves), but if the person is a negative person, then that is what he leaves behind.

 

Here is an easy and effective cleansing ritual that you can do.  All you need are a few supplies.

Here is what you do:

 

•  1 bundle of white sage (from any new age shop)
•  a smudge pot (any small ceramic or glass bowl or dish or shell to catch ashes from the burning sage)
• a bag of small white, unscented tea light candles
• time to dedicate to the process of the cleansing
•  an empty house with which to work (it is best to have everyone out of the house during the cleansing)

Here’s what you do:

• Slightly open a window in each room to allow any smoke from the burning sage to escape.

 

• Place a tea candle (on a safe surface) in each room.

• Stand in the middle of your house, light your sage, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, move the sage around your body.  Say this or something similar:  “I release all negativity from around me.  I am clean and clear and I cleanse and bless this house.”

• Next state your intention for the cleansing ritual.  Say this or something similar, “With this cleansing ritual, I remove all negative energy, old energy, unproductive energy, stagnant energy from this living space.  All is clean and clear, and only Light shall enter. So it is.  So it shall be in accordance with all that is good and true and pure in the Universe, for our highest good and the highest good of all concerned.”

Move to each room of your house following these steps:

• Allow the sage to smoke, tapping it on the smudge pot periodically removing the ash.

• Begin with the windows-trace the outline of the windows and left and right across the window.

• Say this or something similar:  “I release all negativity from this space.  All is clean and clear and only light shall enter.”  You will use this statement for the entirety of the cleansing.

• Next, wave the sage into any closets careful to get up into the corners.  Repeat your statement.

• Then walk around the perimeter of the room, waving the smoking sage into the corners and around the entirety of the room.  Repeat your statement.

• Once the room is thoroughly saged, light the white tea candle.  Say this or something similar:  “The Light and Love of the Universe (you may substitute “God” for “Universe”)  completely fills, protects, and blesses this space.  This space is now thoroughly clean and clear and only the Light shall enter.”

• When you are done, stub out the sage.

• Allow the candles to remain lit until they are completely burnt out. 

 If your home needs extra cleansing and protection:

• Take the sage outside, walk around the house, as close as possible, waving the sage around the foundation of the house.

• Say this or something similar:  “This house is reinforced with the Light and Love of Universe.  All is clean and clear and only Light shall enter.”

•  Repeat this process around the perimeter of the property to add an additional layer of light and protection.

In Love and Light,
Robin

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will self-advocate.  Every time I advocate for myself, I become more empowered."

 

It is amazing to me how often we turn over our personal power to others, how often we don't speak up for ourselves.  Each time we don't, we abdicate responsibility for our own lives.  The more we do this, the more we feel powerless in our own lives.  And the more powerless we feel, the more frustrated, angry, bitter, and resentful we become.  Not a good way to go!

 

Each of us has a responsibility to ourselves. It is our job to take care of ourselves  and to open our mouths and communicate to others what we need, what we want, and what we don't want.  Doing this allows us to be true to ourselves.

 

And when we are true to ourselves, we grow and learn and become stronger and more assertive.

I know it is hard to speak up to others in order to create what you want, I really do, but if you don't speak up for yourself, who will?

 

So many people have accumulated resentment, bitterness, anger, frustration, because they have expended so much of their energy and time doing for others, but asking nothing for themselves.

 

It's great to be such a lovely person, but what about you??  Don't you deserve to get your needs met?  Aren't you important?  Yes you do deserve to get your needs met.  Yes you are important.  And the more you do not assert yourself, the stronger the message to others is that you don't matter.

 

When we first start to advocate for ourselves, it can be hard because we are not used to doing this.  But the more we do do it, however, the easier it becomes, and as this happens, the more empowered we feel.  And the more empowered we feel, the more control we realize we have over our own lives.

 

We realize that our lives are our responsibility.  It is up to us to set limitation and boundaries of what we are willing to do, not do, what we need, what we want.

 

It is perfectly okay to tell a daughter or son, "Look, I love you, but what you are asking is inconvenient for me right now."  Or to tell a boss, "I simply cannot take on another project right now."  Or to tell a needy friend, "I love you, but it is hard for me to sit and always listen to you complain about things."

 

Let's reevaluate the way we treat ourselves and then modify that way so that we support ourselves and take care of ourselves.  We owe it to ourselves.

 

In Love and Light,

"Today, I will listen closely to my inner voice-my intuition."

 

The other day I spoke about intuition.  I told you that it is one of the ways that Universe communicates with us.  Unfortunately, many people disregard their intuition and miss out on a wonderful experience of strengthening and broadening their connection to Universal Source. 

 

Today, continue to be aware of your intuition, and when it "speaks" to you, listen to it and follow its lead. 

 

 

A channeled message for you-

 

 

"Greetings to you.  We are come to you today to advise you to be steady in your efforts to enlighten yourselves and to follow the voice inside of you, your intuition.  This inner voice is your guide.  It is our gift to you.  A gift to assist you in knowing what is on the horizon of your life.

 

We bring you these messages in hopes that you will listen to us and heed those messages from within.

 

Embrace your inner voice.  Listen to your inner voice.  Know that this inner voice is true and valid and valuable.

 

It is your connection to your higher self and to the Universal Source.  It is through this that you will continue to open your mind to those Universal mysteries and far better understand the workings of your life in conjunction with the order of the Universe.

 

When your intuition speaks to you, listen, for the message is important.  The more you rely and listen to this small voice, the more your intuition will develop, and the more your intuition develops, the more aware you become.

 

And is it not awareness that we need to live knowledgably and consciously on the earth?  Indeed it is.

 

So do no discard these small messages that come to you, bur rather, own them and follow them.  If you can do this, then the possibilities of greater awareness is ours.

 

Be well and be safe in our protection and our love."

 

In Love and Light,

Robin.

Today's Affirmations
 

 "Today I will remember to breathe and to stay focused on the task that I am doing."

"Today I will ask the Universe for clarity of purpose, and follow through with the tasks that Universe sets before me."

 

 

Some days it is hard to see where the path goes.  Some days it is hard to decide what to do.  Maybe that is because there is always so much to do and it is overwhelming.  So many paths, so many tasks, so overwhelmed.


But the reality is that we can only really do one thing at a time.  The problem is deciding which thing to do.  At times like this, I have to ask the Universe to clarify my purpose.  I have to ask Universe to make it clear to me what task I should be focusing on. 

Although my purpose may be clear and my task may be clear, sometimes I just don't have the willingness to move.  This is when I need to ask for the willingness and the resolve to get things accomplished.

I have found that when I am feeling like this (like today), I cannot rely on myself for anything.  I need to turn to Universal assistance, and ask for my day's purpose, the task that needs to be accomplished, and the willingness and resolve to do it.

When I ask for these things, they come to me.  I just need to open my mind and my heart to accept the information and then embrace it.

If I trust the Universe Source with my needs, I shall never be at a loss. 

My personal goal for today is to stay focused on what is right before me, to do one thing at a time, even though many things may present themselves at once.  My personal goal is to stay grounded and single minded.  My personal goal for today is to be willing to do what the Universe puts in my path.

In this way, I can get through the day without much difficulty. 

I hope that you also have a day of productivity, willingness, focus and resolve.

In Love and Light,
R-
