Are You Listening?

Yesterday (Monday) I was swept by a huge wave of energy and at 6:43 PM Sep 28th felt a strong urge to tweet: "When God whispers do you hear her? Or do you wait for the tsunami before you listen?" I thought I was using a metaphor.

All day today (Tuesday) I wanted to cry. Great sobs of deep sadness from the core of me, for no reason i knew of.

Half an hour ago I was stunned to read the headline: "Quake triggers tsunami in the Samoas, killing 34"

Of course I do not think that God sent the tsunami to punish anyone. I do however think that I was tuned to the rumblings of the earth I inhabit and felt the Tsunami coming, hence the imagery I used yesterday.

We need to pay attention.

We need to pay attention!
We need to be aware
We really need to listen

Listen to me: we need to pay attention and to listen! To the rumblings of the earth, to the whisper of the divine, to the world that is cracking around us like a ship in the storm.

Awareness is going to be our only guide through the shift. So please, pay attention and LISTEN and you will be surprised at how much information you can gather. Useful information.

Are YOU listening?

When I Stand in the Center

I never know how God's voice is going to reach me and when it does it takes my breath away every time!

When I stand in the center, what moves and what stands still changes.

When I stand in Her center Creation spins around me.

I surrender

There, through the Heart of God I love all.

Because in His infinite wisdom he gave us each other to love to remind us of Him.

There miracles happen, people appear, minds are shaped, money is created

In Her Center Miracles Happen

In Her Womb you heal

Success

Recently @kelvinringold tweeted: "Winning is relative, you know. Sometimes losing can be winning." which brought me back to one of my favorite topics at the moment: What is success?

By which I mean: what is success for me? I had my upper arm tattooed when I was 22 years old to be reminded daily that when I reached 40 I wanted to be able to look back and have no regrets. (It worked: I still have no regrets!)

So I guess that is my definition of success: being able to look back on my life without regrets. Each day I ask myself: If I knew I was going to die tomorrow, what would I choose now? How would I spend my time and who with? Is there anyone I love who does not know it? Is there anyone I am responsible for who is being neglected in any way? And I make all my decisions based on that. Have done since I was 20.

Never go to bed angry
Tell your kids you love them as they leave for the day
Only allow positive people in your life
Be grateful for what you love, have, enjoy (material and otherwise)

That is success to me.

And having time. Beyond the money I need to function in this society, I highly value having the time to be more than acquiring more 'stuff'. Time to be on my own. To be with others. Having the time to smile, to chat, to listen, to walk, to follow my flow, to grow. Having the time to love. Did you notice how it 'takes time' to really love people and to make them feel loved? That is something I treasure deeply. It's kind of old fashion and not very sexy, I realize that. It never makes newspaper headlines. But it makes me smile. Every time.

How do I measure a result like that? By how much I smile and by how well I sleep at night. By how healthy my immune system is.

Of course there is the Law of Attraction. And the people who tell me I can manifest anything I want. As I have many times in the past. That I can manifest everything I want. I would need to manifest a warehouse to store all my everythings in it! I don't want to manage a large warehouse. So I need to decide what I really want. I mean really. What makes me happy every time? And manifest THAT. Which will be the measure of my success, regardless of what other people think makes THEM happy, material or otherwise.

What makes YOU happy every time? What is the measure of YOUR success?

The Healer at the Water Cooler

Every week someone asks me what I want out of life, what my goals are, why am I not super wealthy yet if I understand the Law of Attraction and if I am as powerful energetically as I say I am. They are all very good questions and I have spent days answering those questions to the best of my ability. With my head. And with my heart.

What I realized today is that neither my head or my heart were going to give me the answer. The answer is in the way I use my time. What do I spend the most time on? What do I do when nobody is watching? What do I naturally want to go back to when I have a free moment? What do I do easily because I am good at it? A Twitter friend recently asked: "Do you know what makes you purr?" In other words what do I do so naturally, so instinctively that I am relaxed enough to want to purr like a comfort oriented, self-centered, always balanced and fall-on-my-feet-no-matter-what cat?

When I was a Marketing Analyst for a large international organization, I was ill about 2 weeks out of 4 for months. And that was in my 20s when my body was youthful and should have been healthy! The only moments I felt relaxed were when I was chatting to people about their lives. Which was fine at the week end but made me feel guilty if it ever "wasted company time". What was happening to this goal oriented workaholic girl who had always given 110% to her job? After a few months it hit me: working in a Marketing Department no longer made my creative juices flow. I ENJOYED listening to people tell me about their lives and their issues all day long. I was good at being there for them and at actively listening as they worked out solutions for themselves. Some people even got paid to do what I naturally enjoyed doing. So instead of being the 'lazy' employee/healer at the water cooler, I became a healer. I had voted with my time.

Twenty years later I need to watch how I use my time again and I am quite certain that it will show me how I can best express my passion for healing and for union with the Divine. Whenever I have followed my heart, my needs have been taken care of. I need to remember that!

How do YOU naturally use your time?

Eternity

Eternity is now

Eternity is in each moment

Stop

Breathe

Each moment is eternity

When you find eternity in the moment, you find


PEACE

Divine Conference

When we are a healers in essence, whether we work as one or not, some days we are more influenced by outer energies than usual. Of course we have free will, we can choose to block things out. My experience of doing so is that it either stunts my growth or results in missed opportunities. The Divine in its infinite wisdom knows what I need when and graciously provides me with it just at the right time. All that is required of me is to pay attention, listen and flow with it.

We all incarnate with a purpose and gifts that allow us to fulfill that purpose. When our incarnation purpose is to be a healer we have built in mechanisms that allow our energy systems to tune into energies outside of our own systems in a very refined way. We really need to honor this process and allow for the times when we are tuned into other frequencies, make space for them, create a life style that allows for the ebb and flow of the energies around us.

I allowed too many people to have access to me around this Equinox and now I am paying the price with a migraine headache resulting from the influx of energy I was meant to tune into and receive being blocked.

If I was a sales person everyone would understand that I need to go to a trade show at certain times of year. If I was a farmer I would have to plant and harvest when the seasons dictate. If I was pregnant I would have to drop all other responsibilities and give birth at a certain point. If I was an MD everyone in my life would make time for me to attend professional conferences. My work is low key and often hidden. But what I learned this month is that the special times in the year when energy is graciously made available to me by the Divine, I am going to show up for that conference.

Does YOUR lifestyle allow you to be available for your divine conferences?

We Are Loving by Nature

I believe that the Divine is Love in action = Loving and therefore we are also loving by nature.

We always strive to heal, grow and create.

We do the best we can with what we know, ALWAYS. And when we know better we do better .

We only deceive ourselves in as much as we have agreed to play into this illusion we call our reality to experience in a certain way.

Be

Love

Dismantling the Ego

After yesterday which was a magnificent Loving Goddess day, I was fully expecting to have another sun-filled glittery day. But no, today was a weird day. People falling, getting hurt, acting and speaking from their ego when you least expect it, crying, feeling negative and disheartened, saying they are tired or lonely beyond words. Feeling numb and/or faint were definitely today's common symptoms. Go figure! Having to process too much energy and manage too much change at once me thinks.

I countered it by dedicating the day to practicing gratitude. I felt deep in every cell of my body how heart-felt gratitude connects us with the magnificence of Divine Creation and so keeps us humble. I stayed with that for quite a while.

Behind the gratitude/humility feeling I realized that our world has been changing so fast for so long, energetically, economically and therefore emotionally that many of us don't know who we are any more. I am not just talking about a traditional break down as defined by psychologists. I mean the shifting of deep spiritual reference points that is forcing a re-patterning of our energy systems in ways that we cannot conceptualize and therefore cannot express. The inability to express the experience creates a lack of commonality when emotionally we could really use the comfort of sharing our experiences.

I understand that we are only feeling discomfort because we are resisting the natural process of change. And this time we really have no idea where we are headed, in a big way. All we can do is trust, as we watch our egos being constantly challenged and dismantled, that beyond the taking apart of the walls in our lives, beyond the discomfort, is what we have been wishing for. What have you been wishing for? Now is the time to be sure as your wishes create now more than ever.

Under all this is emerging a current of powerful untamed life force. I suspect it is to keep us safe when we start yielding this power that the ego must vanish first and fast.

Surrender is where it is all driving us. A friend's advice this afternoon was: "Dig deeper, love yourself unconditionally". What kind of day did YOU have?

An Emotional Day

Today was deeply emotional for a lot of people, in a loving way. Many have told me they spontaneously burst into tears, either in joy, in gratitude or in awe: all good. If you reached out for Kleenex and chocolate, you were in good company!

There was an opportunity for all loving relationships to deepen, from friendships to romantic relationships as the loving inner truth was being revealed and blossomed

I know about the racial tensions, the calls for war, the 12 year old dying in childbirth, the tent cities. I know it's all out there. I also know that peace starts at home, in our hearts and in our personal relationships. And today was a day when we had the opportunity

• to feel our emotions,
• to feel love
• to create peace and blessings at home.

So all in all this was a rose quartz day, a Heart of God through YOUR heart day. Thank you for sharing it with me.

Today Was Love

So we found out what today was made of and that was most definitely love! Thursday will do that to you and connect you to Universal Love most weeks if you let yourself be carried away into it of course. But today was particularly lovely and several friends commented about it on and off line.

Something loving and supportive happened unexpectedly every couple of hours, involving strangers as well as friends from all over the country, some old some new. I learned much and smiled a lot which is good because I am at the end of a rough three weeks.

So I hope you caught the glitter. I do think that we turned a corner yesterday. Relax and enjoy!

The Energy System of a Human Angel

I have no idea what today has in store but I am GLAD yesterday is over!

Of course it was an amazing portal-to-the-heart-of-God day. And I love being 'out there' while still in a body:

• The floaty, relaxed feeling.
• The deep love for no good reason, just because I am divine.
• The angels whispering in my ears, sitting in my heart and stroking my arm all day.

Also yesterday was such a great day for guidance! I had several important questions answered. Some just by wondering and pffffft, there was the answer in my head, words clear as a meditation bell with that deep feeling in my heart of "that's true, that is the way it is". Some through Alice of @ReikiAwakening. (She delivers a very humble, loving, accurate channelled reading to any question for $25 and her readings always give me real peace of mind!)

I went to the dentist's and while I was waiting alone in the room, I could FEEL the angels around me every time I was anxious until I felt completely cradled, physically.

Two physical angels also answered my prayers. One suddenly removed all administrative burden from me for that day. Another drove me around town and supported while I was sorting unpleasant errands.

I am so grateful for that support because the flip side of being a human angel is that floating away with angels all day makes it difficult to remember human linear time: I often forget to go to sleep or to eat on such days. I find it very difficult to use my brain in a linear way, to count money, to return phone calls or emails, to pay bills, to understand the logical steps of a process that I would normally execute easily. If it happens several times in the same month the cumulative effect can be challenging.

Of course I have got used to the pattern over the years. I know now that whenever there is a surge of energy in the planetary awakening I open up to channelling, I change rapidly, my energy system is rewired, again, and I am not so in touch with every day reality for a day or three. It is even harder for the people around me, particularly if they depend on me for anything. Or if they are wired to believe that how I feel may have been caused by their behavior or that I just don't care about myself. Which of course I do: in that light state the body makes very few demands and I am completely at peace.

This ungrounded lighter state is the underbelly of being a great psychic and healer, the stuff we discuss among ourselves and don't normally advertise! But more and more of you are being awakened as healers. So I think it' s important to be honest about the fact that while it is a marvelous and fulfilling calling, being a healer is not all glitter and singing angels. The human part of it can be challenging to manage.

That is why we need to support each other. So what's YOUR story? Leave me a comment and share!

Second Sunday With Sophie Sept. 13th

On Sunday Sept 13 we will come together for
September's "Second Sunday with Sophie".
This month: Tools to Be Aligned to your Personal Purpose.

Many of us are struggling as the energies are intense and pushing us to shift so fast. There is an increasing need to share balancing and transformational tools.

At times the change is blissful and at times it is very confusing. It is still physically tiring for many of us and our hormones are still being really affected, which impacts our mood, our relationships, our jobs and every aspect of our daily lives.

We need to learn tools and support each other to walk through all the energy portals that keep opening. Today (9.9.9) is one such portal. The Equinox on September 22, 2009 will be another. 11.11.2009 will be one as well.

There are effective ways to:

• stay in balance
• work through fear so you learn from it
• align your personal purpose with the planetary awakening

I have been studying, creating and practicing balance in a fast changing spiritual environment for 11 years (well, for centuries, really). In various countries, with kids, with and without money, with and without a partner. I have this down to a fine art!

Also, I know and understand what is happening at this moment of our planet's awakening. I am in constant contact with angels, guides and the Divine. Which is why so many are connecting with me.

As a result of this, I am at the point in my practice where I cannot speak personally with every person who wants to connect with me every week. I think this information is comforting to many and I want it to be available, in person. When I find a healer or a teacher I resonate with, I always want to hear their voice and I want to be in their vibration. I invite you to share the experience with me.


1- Every SECOND Sunday at 2PM EST I will be on the phone and available.

On the call I will:

• teach one of my meditations
• discuss a healing topic
• answer questions at the end of the call so be sure to ask your question on the teleseminar call detail page you will receive after signing up for the class
  

2- On the other Sundays of the month I will meditate at 2PM EST and invite you to join me in meditation and prayer for Peace and Oneness.

There is power in numbers, you know that. Together we can create a beautiful vibration of Oneness, Love and Joy. So join me every Sunday at 2pm EST, I will be meditating for Oneness with you. You can tune in energetically from wherever you are in the world.


For the live phone calls "Second Sunday with Sophie" I am asking you to contribute $8, $17 or $25. I WILL NEVER RAISE THIS BASE FEE so my teaching about Oneness is always available to everyone. This way we can:

• create community
• share cutting edge content
  
• offer support and inspiration

So invite your friends who would benefit from this learning! All are warmly welcome.

The planned schedule is:

• Sunday Sept 13, 2009 ~ Tools to Be Aligned to your Personal Purpose
  
• Sunday October 11, 2009 ~ Staying Balanced and Breathing
• Sunday November 8, 2009 ~ Kundalini Reiki
• Sunday December 13, 2009 ~ December Solstice
• Sunday January 10, 2010 ~ What Kind of Healer Are You?
  
• Sunday February 14, 2010 ~ Becoming the Positive Person You'd Love to Date
  

The call details will be posted here for every month so bookmark this page now to return to it easily or join my newsletter and I'll send you a short email with the call details a few days before the event and then on the day of the call.

Call details for Sunday, September 13 will be sent to after you send your donation by clicking on the Paypal button below. You will also have the opportunity to send me your questions from the teleseminar confirmation page. Invite your friends who will benefit from this learning!

Sunday August 9 ~ was: Grounding and Why it matters.
The recording is still available for $25 when you click on the button below.

9/9/9 or 9/9/2009?

9/9/9 is it? the day of triple completion (mind, body, spirit maybe?) and that's it? What then? Oh, and it's three nines , with nine also a multiple of 3 on a Wednesday with the Opener of Way playing with 3s on Wednesdays. Do I see an opening here? A portal?

Or is it 9/9/2009 which makes it the day of triple completion in the Century of Balance, #2 being the number for balance and protection.

My wonderful numerologist friend calls 9.9.9 'completion taking itself to completion'.

And 3 for Opening the Way.

Completion and opening the way at the same time.

Also if u play with numbers the way I do, you find that by continuously adding all the digits of 9.9.2009 you get 11. Which of course represents the Portal. So we have a portal in 3 and a portal in 11. In a day of 3 nines. What kind of a day is this?

So I am thinking to myself, quietly, in my little corner of the woods, with my friend's help in figuring the numerology and with my crown chakra tingling like mad and with my appetite gone and my physical world fast falling apart around me and messages coming at me from 3 different sources that if I feel so stuck right now it's because I am (we all are I am sure) on the brink of huge changes.

I am thinking quietly to myself that maybe today is the last day of the last century, of the last 2000 years, of the previous age of war and duality and disaster and maybe we'll have a lull and the next equinox might be the beginning of the New Age, the New Earth, the Age of Oneness.

So in my world, today is another one of those wide open energy portals that we have been having since the last June Solstice. Let go, surrender and step into the Heart of God!

See you on 11.11.2009 which will be 11.11.11, with a total of 6 for intuition, psychic powers and Self-mastery! In other words, a straight connection from the Divine to our third eye and endocrine system. Promising! LOL

What do YOU think? Oh, and have a great day! LOL

Look at Love by Rumi

Look at Love...

Look at Love...
how it tangles
with the one fallen in love

look at spirit
how it fuses with earth
giving it new life

why are you so busy
with this or that or good or bad
pay attention to how things blend

why talk about all
the known and the unknown
see how unknown merges into the known

why think separately
of this life and the next
when one is born from the last

look at your heart and tongue
one feels but deaf and dumb
the other speaks in words and signs

look at water and fire
earth and wind
enemies and friends all at once

the wolf and the lamb
the lion and the deer
far away yet together

look at the unity of this
spring and winter
manifested in the equinox

you too must mingle my friends
since the earth and the sky
are mingled just for you and me

be like sugarcane
sweet yet silent
don't get mixed up with bitter words

my beloved grows
right out of my own heart
how much more union can there be

Energy Protection

I recently bit more than I could chew and just about choked. Energetically I mean. It does not happen often because:

1. I am the cautious type
2. I am trained and experienced in dealing with all kinds of energies, including various shapes of negative energies
   
3. I have learned from past encounters to practice psychic protection diligently (for more info see my recent post about how to stay psychically protected)

But recently our world has been changing so fast that many of us have been confronted with situations, concepts, entities and energies that we had not come across before. Sometimes it just means more energy work than we are used to and the way to deal with that is to:

• stay grounded
• stay hydrated
• rest
• Did I mention rest?
• ask for support from people who know what they are doing

While I want EVERYONE to learn about energy HEALING so you can apply it in your every day life and help your families and friends, I would discourage anyone who is not super experienced to welcome energies that they do not completely understand or do not trust at the moment.

As usual I cannot tell you exactly what is happening or why because that has not been revealed to me! All I can tell you is how I live through it and hope that you find it helpful.

This energy I am speaking of today came to a friend who felt that it was so huge and 'out there' that he wanted to bounce ideas off a couple of people. The reason I agreed to this is that I have my own 'out there' moments and really wanted to support him through it. Somehow we never connected and as we kept postponing phone calls I was getting more and more depressed, to the point that I could neither think nor act. Twice I disconnected from the energy he is carrying and twice I went back to feeling like my normal happy and active self within an hour.

We've talked about it, he's cool with it. This energy he is carrying does not bother him. Not anymore than the energy I carry bothers me. Because each one of us has been preparing for this for lifetimes, maybe more. We are finely tuned and frequency specific for it. And we cannot share it at the moment. Ok, so be it. This planetary awakening is affecting us all in completely different ways. I have come to accept that. I'll talk more about that another day.

In the meantime, as a good friend lovingly put it today: "Gotta keep your own butt covered while you are busy helping others!!"

So be diligent in YOUR own psychic protection (yes, we all know I am talking about myself here) and beware of anything that is too much 'out there'. Never thought I would feel the need to say that! LOL

Please leave a comment and share if anything strange (-er than normal) has happened to YOU in the past weeks/months (since January I'm thinking)

My Life Belongs to the Divine

I keep thinking that my life is mine when really it has not been mine for a very long time. I realized years ago that most of what happens in my life is archetypal. I am human so of course whenever something worthy of note happens, good or bad, I believe that it's all about meeee, me, me, me. If it's good I rejoice and believe I am a great ____ fill the blank: mother, teacher, wife, lover, healer. If the occurrence is painful I think "Why me?" go into my cave to regroup and avoid further wounding while I heal.

After a few days I venture out of my euphoric or safe space and start cautiously sharing with the people I trust. And it happens every time: most of my healing friends and colleagues have just gone through some variation of the essence of what happened to me, at exactly the same time. We were riding the same wave of planetary consciousness.

That is when I remember that my life has not been mine for a long time. My life belongs to Divine Will. I forget it because I am not steeped in a Christian or religious tradition that would remind me of it regularly. But my life is merged, absolutely and totally, with the essence of the Divine making itself manifest on Earth and my work is always archetypal. Next time I forget this and take the pleasure or the pain personally, will one of you good friends please remind me really kindly and gently?

From the Heart of God, I love YOU!

PS: Someone just asked: "is there free will for you Sophie?"
Yes there is. The thing I have been coming to terms with over the past two weeks is that apparently I agreed to all this, to be part of this planetary awakening, to ride the energy waves with everyone else, to do work that is archetypal. I know it's not 'apparently', When I go into deep meditation, I remember, I know I agreed to it. A long time ago, in the eternal now.

Inward and Upward

I went inward with the last new moon and I don't seem to have come out of that space yet! Some physical activity has been possible, including unexpected travels and changes of circumstances. I am not sure what universal energy is doing at the moment. It feels gentle, very powerful and purposeful at the same time. Full of possibilities and awakenings. It feels as if the deepest structure of my being is changing. Definitely a time of ascension, of raising of our vibration. Others have reported this to me. Usually in few words as they are also taken with their own deep learning.

Of course with new learning come the usual letting go, grieving, moving on, moving house/state/job. Needing to eat well and sleep a lot to integrate all this.

My astrologer friend in England tells me the opportunity for change and for big issues feeling personal is here for another 4 days.

My own guidance says the huge wave that started with the June solstice is going to be very active till the September equinox.

Are you in a buoyant space? In an inner space? in a revelation space? In an accelerated growth space? What are you learning? What is changing for you? Let me know in your comment! Together we learn. And I am still delighting in my work so if you need support through all this: email or call and make an appointment!
