Feel the Shift…

IMG_8802There are many shifts that will happen in our lives. Some shifts come and go without hardly a notice and others rock our world in such a way that great change is experienced and acknowledged. We are constantly moving into different phases of being and of knowing. As our lives progress, we can’t help but to change.

When a new shift of being draws near, you can feel it. It resonates within you to the very core of your being. Your soul knows it’s coming, your mind, however may want to try and dismiss this shift coming for what could be a wide array of reasons. The shift is necessary for your own personal growth. Find ways to ground yourself and hold steady as the transition takes place. When you begin fighting with the inevitable, it only creates chaos. Stay flexible and allow the shift to take place. Once through the shift you will find yourself in a better place. Mentally, emotionally, physically …. all together better.

Looking back, you’ll wonder why you ever stressed over the change to begin with and wonder why you fought it and why you didn’t allow it to take place sooner.

The key is listening to your own intuition, that inner knowing that lives inside you will let you know when these shifts are coming. Listen and trust!

The Magical Dragonfly

Dragonfly is connected to the symbolism of change and light. When the dragonfly shows up in your life, it may remind you to bring a bit more lightness and joy into your life. The dragonfly changes color as it matures and is a reminder that we should embrace our own transformation as we grow.

The Dragonfly

Swiftly buzzing through the air
Dancing on the breeze without a care.

Wings shimmering in the sunlight
Colors of change, taking flight.

From the water to the sky
Listen closely to the wisdom of the dragonfly

Don’t fear the changes in your life
For it doesn’t always bring one, strife

To transform is to grow
Bringing with it, wisdom in tow

Allow the light within, to shine bright
Unfold those wings and allow yourself to take flight

From these wings of mine
Let me be your reminder, your sign

Life is filled with joy and light
When change comes, don’t make it a fight.

Today I took a sort walk around the lake on my lunch hour and danced with a few of my winged friends.  Here are the photos.

New Moon – New Beginnings

new beginningsToday is the New Moon and the End of the Month… So now we bid farewell to February and welcome in March with a new moon cycle. It is time to start those projects you’ve been wanting to get done, try new things, new techniques and possibly even new ways of thinking.

Start thinking about where you want the rest of the year to go and start doing the things to get you there. Keep positive thoughts and a positive outlook as you move forward and use the energy of this New Moon to help boost you to the new beginnings that you want/need in your life.

Open to Change

If you want something new in your life…
You have to first OPEN YOURSELF TO THE POSSIBILITIES

hawkChange is good but can be ever so scary. In order for positive changes to take place in your life you have to let go of any fears that may be in your way and open yourself to the possibilities that await.

We often block our own growth by allowing fear to get in our way. Remember that fear has its place but that place is not as a road block for your success.

Chant of the day: I Open Myself to Positive Change. I Open Myself to Progress. I Open Myself to Healing, Love and Prosperity.

Daily Insight – Change

changeOften, when the word “CHANGE” is mentioned, people tend to think more of the larger, life altering changes, but there are small changes taking place in everyone… every single day.

Changes in our perception, our habits, our way of being, seeing, thinking, etc.

Over time these small changes add up to a whole new us. We can look back and sometimes barely recognize who we once were. Sometimes I look back and shake my head at how I once was and at other times I laugh at myself and think … wow… was that really me?

Allow change to take place naturally and it becomes less of a struggle. Don’t dismiss the small changes in your life because one day they will add up to something great!

Singing a New Tune

raven at stonehengeI was just making myself a cup of tea and as I was waiting for the water to boil I found myself humming. It’s no surprise I sing, hum and whistle a lot! What was different, was the tune that I was humming. Most of the time I find myself singing, humming or whistling the same hand full of  tunes… but this morning it was a tune I had not heard myself hum before. This new tune made me think about the new year and the possibilities ahead.

I thought … “A new year… a new tune! Awesome!”

I leave you with just one thought to ponder today:

In the months to come will you be singing that same old tune you’ve always sang or will you be singing something new?

Many Blessings,

The ReBuild

IMG_6832Throughout our lives we are building. We build relationships, we build a home, we build safety, we build knowledge, we build confidence, we build routine, we build habits, etc.

When it is time for a major change to occur in one of these areas that we have spent years building .. the change can be drastic or at the very least “feel” very drastic. What has been built wasn’t constructed overnight and therefore when that change needs to happen and happen now… it is as if a wrecking ball has come from out of nowhere and knocked you right onto your bum and oh boy can it hurt!

It may feel as though what was once there is now destroyed… well duhhhh! That’s the whole point! Whatever it was that the wrecking ball tore down .. is no longer needed. Now there is room for you to rebuild with new materials, new knowledge and a new set of tools.

I won’t lie… it sure does suck whenever that wrecking ball shows up… but the rebuild will serve you so much better in the end and life will take a much brighter turn once we allow the change to happen. It’s going to happen regardless .. the more we fight it the worse it feels.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Being Different

I walked outside a moment ago and noticed a tree, all green except for this single leaf … from there my thoughts went to:

Just because everyone around you isn’t changing, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.

Change is a natural occurrence that happens in all things. For us to grow, we must change in one way or another. Maybe it is our thoughts, our way of living, the way we do particular things, the way we process information, the way we handle life or any number of possibilities one might change. Don’t worry about fitting in with everyone else. Be YOU! Enjoy the changes that naturally occur within you and allow them sculpt you into the person you were born to be.

Let your own unique beauty shine!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Daily Insight – Transformation

Transformation…. we all must transform… it is how we grow and evolve.

As life comes at us, bringing everything it has…. the good and the bad, we grow, we learn and we transform.

The key here is to transform with life as it comes… don’t fight it. It’s going to happen no matter what we do so fighting it only causes us that much more heartache and sometimes even trauma. Find that place in yourself where you can find comfort in your own growth and transformation. Fighting with ourselves when we are trying to evolve only causes us more harm and sets us back when we should be continually moving forward.

I know that some changes are hard to take but by fighting this change we only make it that much harder. Don’t think of it as giving in.. think of it as moving forward. Allow nature to take its course and allow yourself that room to grow.

Again, I know this can at times be very hard… but becoming stagnant can be even harder on the soul than one could imagine.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Daily Insight – Transformation

In order for us to grow, there will be many periods of transformation in our lives. These transformations can be subtle and at other times they may seem chaotic and overwhelming.

Those more severe moments of our transformation tend to throw us for a loop and can send us off balance … there is reason for this. Once we lose our balance we must work to regain that balance. We change our position, our footing… and we readjust ourselves where we stand. Once we have regained our balance, the world around us has a different look, well it doesn’t look any different really, but we see it differently. Our vision comes then from a new perspective.

Remind yourself, when going through a seemingly chaotic situation that transformation is taking place and that soon you will have a new outlook on life. It doesn’t always change drastically.. but it does change.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Alignment is Coming

There are so many things being said about the “Big Event” of this year…. End of the world, planetary alignment, shifting of he continents, blah blah blah…. so on and so on.

There will be some planets lining up this year… I think 6 of them will fall in line for a moment or two…. but that’s not the “Big Event”. The Alignment that changes things will come from another source. Something far less expected and much harder to see. This alignment is something that will be felt far more than seen. Eventually it will come into sight, but at first it will only be noticeable by feeling. And not the type of feeling you do with your hands! LOL

This alignment that will be happening, is an alignment of souls.

“Alignment of souls” that is the exact term I am given.

People of like mind will be brought together more quickly than ever before and in much larger numbers. These people will begin to work together. The more that come together… the more things begin to change. Change for the better. Eyes will open, life will change and alignment begins. In fact it has already begun.. it’s been going on for some time now, each day that passes, it grows.  Each day it will become more and more noticeable. Even those still asleep will take notice soon.

This is the “Big Event”.

I am given this vision and thought:  “A sapling in the forest begins to grow.. you may walk past this sapling a hundred times and never even notice it is there until one day it has grown so large that you have to change your path or stop where you are.” This is a time of knowing. We are coming into acknowledgement of self … we are becoming more aware of our walk upon this Earth and its effect on all things. We are also as individuals becoming more aware of our own inner powers and gifts. More of us are learning to use them and have begun exercising them.

Those dreams you are now starting to remember…. that’s part of your training.
Those visions that come to you while you  are not even asleep… more training.
Those feelings stirring inside you and that voice guiding you … training.
That knowledge that just came to you without you knowing you knew… training.

Trust the Earth and what it gives to you. Trust that universal connection to others.  Begin trusting yourself!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Inside This Circle


Inside this circle the transformation begins
the drums beating out a rhythmic sound
Feel the magic as it vibrates up from this sacred ground

With great intent we enter into a realm of light
Dancing until the day becomes night

From what we once were to what we shall become
The ancient voices begin to hum

Our ancestors gather from far and near
Whispering change upon our ear

Nudging us forward in a positive light
Dancing to and fro with all our might

Our souls begin to sing a new song
Placing us upon our path, right where we belong 

Echos of what we once were released into the fire
Spirit lifts us higher and higher 

Letting go and allowing something new
Over this circle the winged ones flew.

The four legged gathered all around
Keeping the circle safe and sound.

And with the final dance and a chant or two
The transformation has granted us a brand new view.

Many Blessings, 
Raventalker

Something More…

Singing my song, whistling a tune.. asking the fairies to show me the way … I roam the green grass filled with patches of clover in search of those with leaves of 4. Each one I find I thank my wee little friends and search on for yet another. I gather those with leaves half chewed… leaves large, medium and small… I gather them all.

I stopped for a moment and smiled when this little one came into sight.

This one is a fully grown 3 leaf clover who has begun to grown 1 more. Unafraid to change, not trying to fit in with the others… this clover wants to be something more. So with all it’s might it digs down deep within the soil and gathers the strength and ability to make that change happen. This clover is now something quite different… something fabulously more!

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

What We Allow

Today Spirit urges me to talk about what we allow in our lives.

We need to stop often and take a look at the things we allow in our own lives. It’s easy to see what others allow but we must stop for a moment, step back and truly look at our own lives to see what it is we are or are not allowing.

Think about a few examples here: (Things we allow or block from our lives)

Love – we know how to give it but are we allowing it to be returned to us?
Kindness – same as above
Fear – ooooooo that’s a mean and nasty one.. be careful not to let your actions be guided by it
Creativity – are you doubting your creative self – blocking the creativity from flowing through you … when it comes to creativity you have got to let it flow  – also don’t let others stifle your creative ideas
Doubt – Oh  another ugly one … doubt can cause us and the people around us far more harm that one might think. Practice trusting yourself and that inner knowing that stirs inside you. If you can’t trust yourself, you’ll not trust anyone else either.
Success – are you truly allowing yourself to succeed or are you putting your own road blocks in the way?
Growth – are we allowing growth in all areas of our lives or are we again stifling or even pushing ourselves… trying to control how much we grow… how much we move forward … let nature take its course and allow your own growth to come at its own pace.

These are just a few examples… throughout our lives there are so many things we will find ourselves allowing in that are no good for us.. we talk ourselves into accepting what is … instead of seeing what could be or what is best for us.

Many blessings,
Raventalker

Daily Insight New Beginnings and Change

Daily Insight 11-7

New Beginning – Listen to your inner being and trust your intuition … old things will fall away painlessly as you start something new. This may be a new way of thinking, a new way of doing things or even new projects and or work.

Change – Change strengthens us… to more we allow it the stronger we become. I know it may sound strange but think about the changes you have gone through so far and take a look at where you are now. Have you not grown from your experiences? Have you not become stronger? Now you see. Don’t fight change… it’s going to happen sooner or later .. why drag out the process and make things far more complicated than they need to be.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Daily Insight – Change – Letting Go

Daily Insight – Change – Letting Go

Life is all about changes and how we adapt to those changes.

The thing you must realize is that you have a choice about how you handle the change that comes your way. You can cling to that part of your life that’s changing and try to force it into not changing (which is inevitable.. it will change anyway) or you can let go of that part of your life and allow it to change in a natural manner.

Think about it this way.. what you lose now during this time of change.. has never truly belonged to you anyhow. Knowing this can give you a new kind of stability and rational thinking with much greater clarity about your life and your feelings.

Change can be hard to deal with… clinging to things in your life and fighting against the changes that are coming only prolongs pain and torment for yourself and others that may be involved.

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Change, Trust and Fear

Change, Trust & Fear

Change is something that must happen all the time. Change doesn’t have to be scary and it doesn’t have to be drastic. Small changes are occuring within and around us every day.

Changing your surroundings for instance, doesn’t always mean a change in location. There are many things in your life you could change if you think about it. Maybe it’s the way you interact with people or a certain person. Maybe it’s routine things you do that can or need to be changed. It really could be anything in your life, it doesn’t mean you have to physically move or change locations.

Maybe there are things you would like to do or say but those things are outside your
comfort zone. Keep in mind the golden rule “harm none” including yourself and then give some of these things outside your comfort zone a try. By doing that,  you will definately shake things up a bit … even if it is just within yourself.

Another rule to keep in mind “Don’t bite off more than you can chew”.

Trust is a hard one. I for one, know how hard it is to trust not only others but most importantly… yourself. The question comes to mind of how do you know the difference between instinct/gut feelings and fear? For instance.. say a choice in your life appears… how does one know if you are leaning toward or away from that choice because of instinct or because of your own fears?

From my own experiences, I have found that my true gut feelings/inner knowing doesn’t cause fear. They don’t make me nervous or hesitate. Instead I am filled more with a knowing, a confidence and a positive outlook. Only when my fears come into play do I begin to second guess myself and question my true inner guidance.

Examine how you feel about all the many things in your life as you plan ahead.  When that little voice whispers in your ear… “Oh no you can’t do that” but everything inside you feels so right and it feels as though you were going against your inner knowing  by not doing it ….. then I’d say that “Oh you can’t do that” voice came from your fears.

If the voice says “Don’t do that” and with that voice you feel a sense of knowing it was indeed the wrong thing to do… then thats the voice you should be listening to.

See the difference?

Many Blessings,
Raventalker

Rebuilding…..

wet branchesWhen you are walking upon the storm .. and your life seems to be falling to pieces…

Understand  that …. Sometimes your world needs to fall apart so you can rebuild it.

Think about all the storms you have been through … you’re here .. you survived… you rebuilt what you once had and you will again.

Patching the walls doesn’t really get rid of the holes.. it just hides them.

So the walls get torn down and you build it back … stronger and better than before.

I’ve patched many holes .. and my world has fallen apart many times… each time I dusted myself off eventually … and began the rebuild process.

This message is to let those who are going through a storm now, know that you are not alone..  and the task before you is not an impossible one… although it may seem impossible.. you will get through this.

Many hugs and healing blessings to you,

Focusing on Possibilities

This morning on my way to work .. I heard a sound bite from the movie “Soul Surfer”. The quote was “I don’t need easy, I just need possible.”

mockingbirdWhat a great quote!

Hearing this made me think of opportunities that have come my way and then I wondered .. did I take easy instead of possible? Did I throw away opportunities because I thought they might be too hard? I’m sure that down my road there were moments when I dismissed the possible and took easy. We all have at some point, I’m sure.

This was a great reminder of what we could be missing or passing up if we don’t look at the possibilities and instead only look at how difficult something may or may not be.

How much further could we go if we focused more on the possibilities of life instead of the obstacles?

Don’t we always say “Anything is possible if you just believe” ?

Well… I believe that today I am going to focus a whole lot more on the possibilities and a whole lot less on what stands between me and those possibilities.

Get-R-Done! hahahahahaa sorry, the south in me just had to say it

Many Blessings,
