it is who you are and vibrating at that frequency - has an affect on all of creation"  Almine


You might ask what does that mean?  If you are not familiar with vibration or frequency it can be off putting.

Everything has a vibration from the slowest that manifests as physical objects, the earth vibrates at a particular frequency, and is also changing - a thought even has a frequency, and feelings.  The Abraham Hicks books goes into this with regard to intention and moving your vibration up.

We each have a unique vibration, and can change it to match or unmatch other people., situations, ideas.


This can be unconscious  when we are with someone and maybe shift down to where they are - depressed or shift up to a  joyful vibration. 

We can also be conscious and choose our vibration.

The crown chakra, at the top of the head is one place where we can change the vibration. 

If you like, I will walk you through a little exercise to experience yourself choosing your crown vibration consciously

First just become aware of the vibration your crown chakra is at right now.  You could ask for a color to give you a place to start.  You may be more then one color.
Be as a child, there is no right or wrong here.

I will give myself as example I am seeing some peachy yellow. 

Now decide you want to vibrate at a noticable  higher frequency then the color you are at.. Or maybe you want to vibrate at gratitude, or appreciation, or happy.  With no effort be there.

Now notice - are you aware of anything?  (You don't have to know what the color is or you could decide on a color that you sense would be good like blue, pink or gold.)  

I am experiencing more clarity at the gold.

Can you differentiate the effect of the colors or words as you shift them  in your crown?  Now decide to go back to the first color. 

Great!
Now choose which one you like and decide to be there. 

When we are conscious, we can choose.  It is easy and effective..

Today, I arranged a family call, with all the members of my "current" family, Dad, sisters, children and new spouse.  We live all over the country, and generally don't go traveling to visit each other for Christmas.  It was a very pleasant call with 8 people on the line.

Afterwards, I needed to rest and wondered about all the socializing others would be doing.  I reflected on how I got to where I am, spending Christmas "alone". 
Things I can and can't do now.

I t is a bit different, I have some feelings swirling around.  That is real, and gets to be included in my Christmas, 


Unique for each of us. to experience

I use gratitude to shift my  attention,  and own my feelings.  Rest is good, it is after all the birth of the Christ Child, so how do we take care of that new child within?

"Christmas and the Holy Days remind us to make more space for spirit - to make more space in ourselves and in the world for Divinity. It’s time to step up our appreciation for the Source of our being and the purpose for which we are here.
“How to Bring More Joy to the World! TeleSeminar by Michael J Tamura

I am also thinking about those who are less fortunate, and send them prayers and love that they are not forgotten.


Perhaps you are wondering about your own experience of Christmas this year,  What is real for you?  Give yourself a big hug, you are loved unconditionally.

" Look in the junk drawer" came from somewhere in our house.  Oh yeah, the junk drawer.  Everything was possibly in the junk drawer. - first place to look if you remembered.  And a fun place to look when there was nothing particular to be looking for.  I loved the junk drawer.

Today I am looking in my sewing basket, my current junk drawer -looking for something.  What is it?  I find a glitter on a string, a string with a screw tied to one end and a loop at the other - hum what was that for?  Thread of different colors crossed all over the place. 

Remember, what am I looking for ? Oh there are tacks, can put them in the tack bowl - oh yes, I am looking for a snap or velcro to fasten a pocket in a bag I am sewing.  I go back and forth to another sewing basket looking, sorting, "maybe if it is organized better, I will find things better" crosses my mind.

I find some velcro and tiny snaps - no - this is not going to work - more combed through the basket.  I now see a zipper.  It is a surprise to see it.  It was here all along.  This basket is not very big, like 8 or 10 inches, a tiny space,  My hand probably has been brushing by it this whole time. Where was I looking that I didn't see that?  Oh yeah, I was looking for a snap so my radar was not on zippers.

Thus the creative process goes on. 

How much do we not see, or are still in certain parameters of looking.  And then there is just that and not that  that we become aware of, yet more  is there, that we just do not see.
That is alot of  thats

Or to be more exact  we have by habit not considered to look at what else is there. 

I gave some spiritual communication to a woman, and we were saying hello to her space - even though there have always been " things in her junk drawer " she was taught about some of these things, aware of some things, but not of other things
  I saw  a box of matches - "do not play with matches " was the message -  a rule from childhood, yep that was appropriate then, but she is mature now and knows how to handle matches., and ready to take a step.   With that communication, her spirit struck a match and alighted the space she had not been aware of before.   Like a beautiful ring catching fire, she owned her crown chakra. for the first time in this life time..   There are no words for this.

My daughter eagerly opens a small heavy box, unveiling a sticky pinkish brown guaze wrapped brick. smelling of liquour.
If it is what I suspect,...
"Mom is this tradition?"
"Um well,I suppose you could call it that."
We were in the middle of lots of change and up-heavel and this ancient blessing - a fruitcake, from my mother's sister,  Aunt Beth, had arrived.  Later Aunt Beth called and described the long process of how she made them, a tradition in that family, somehow not practiced by my mother, I had not seen one of these in years.  A thread from the past linking to the future...

My mom choose to move away from the east, from the family and some of the traditons did not come with her.

So here I was with my own daughter, she 11, me about 39, she eager to learn. The overlap of generations, and what am I teaching my family about it.

ien.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradition‎A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past

What if we can't do the old traditions, what is the new?  Are some just empty and need reinventing?  How do we honor the past and welcome the future?  I believe we crave traditions,  something that is returned to year after year, assuring of the continuity of life and also can/will hold onto the old, just as any behaviour until we can replace it with something more true for us now.

What if our family life has been not the Walt Disney Family life, so holding onto tradition can carry mixed messages of denial, resentment, pain. etc.

Now my family lives very far apart, all over the country, I thought of doing a conference call.  Well some of us hardly ever talk to each other so there is a bit of some shuffling, scuffling going on.  As usual my dark energy comes up to be reviewed,  That too is a tradition - gift of  the stars - part of the seasonal rebirth.

Trying new things, without expectation....


Are you aware  of any shifts in your approach to traditions?  Maybe re-embracing some or letting some go?  I would love to hear, blessings Jill

A recipe for Golden Milk - I have nothttp://www.healthy-holistic-living.com/golden-milk.html

In the season of reflection, there is always a season for this

I am in the library bathroom, overhearing a little voice in a stall down the way. " If I put too much back there it gets stuck"

Toilet paper, enough or not enough - then just right.  she is learning a new skill.  Wow it is amazing what we are learning each and everyone of us.

I have been noticing the pull of work  - do do - and just being in the wonder of this world.  Can it be both/and.. at the same time? Playful and joyous? What does it look like for me? I was reviewing a recent conversation that seemed to be invalidating - I was thinking of calling the person up - when -

my new jar of Madagascar Cloves flew off the counter on the other side off the kitchen. Lid broke and cloves all over....

Oh wake up Jill, mis-creating here..  Look deeper.  I stepped back to be more neutral and realized it was a mirror for me to look at my own inner critic..  I could fire it or what? 

I found some information by Francine Jushasz
"The Animus - it is a power , that must be developed - like any power (like mental power or muscular power).  It can become your inner teacher and guide (this is part of the initiation into being a wise and integrated woman)

Challenge and contradict it when it is negative or belabors some sore point of yours -

     * When it haunts you with some failure, or something you missed out on through your own doing which you really could not help
      *When it accuses you for the bad situation you're in, heaping you with regrets and recriminations
      *When it tryes to make you feel guilty ( for example for diappointing someone, for not being unselfish enough, for going after pleasure and joy too much)
      *When it tries to make you feel worthless, helpless to really fulfill your dreams
       *When it insists in some way you are hopeless and a failure
      *When it makes you feel inferior, or mediocre
     * When it makes ou feel you aren't good enough when somethng in you knows you are.

Use it  as a confident ( give it the full subjective picture of you, The complete truth (in a short direct form)

Aim it toward what you need,  Ask it for the specific things you need.  When it is positive and re-educated (when it has the full subjective picture of you) dialogue with it as if it where your Inner Wisdom, because it will be

Thank it every time it gives you Light."

This is helpful for me, reminding me to update my communication with this part of my support from critic to ally.
A happy elf!


Are you exxperiencing anything like this in these holy days?  I would love to hear, in good cheer Jill

 For the last many days it has been frightfully cold here in Colorado.   I was at the gas station filling up - the gas was moving slow.  I stood wondering if I should just get $10 worth and leave, but I managed to be patient. A woman station attendant was shoveling bits of ice here and there.  I noticed she did not have gloves on.  I felt bad that she was out there without gloves and as I left I rolled my window down to see if she would like some gloves ( I have an extra pair under my seat)  She said, "No I have some, just not wearing them."

Then I saw a quote on FB, A prediction for this week of Dec 8-14 from Almine of www.spiritual journeys.com 

"Experiment with new perspectives.  See again the magic of your environmnet as you did when you were a child, the ability to observe, without trying to change others, is vital this week.  How you respond, and what  you choose to allow into your environment is your choice.  The way others choose to live, is theirs.  To try to fix or save them makes you abandon your own reality."

I do have alot of experience with fixing and saving, oh yes!  It is like a knee jerk reaction, and progress happens.

My thought is whether I was trying to fix that woman or extend a caring gesture.  Do we ignore a homeless person, or say hello, and give a few dollars.?  I sense there is sympathy, empathy or compassion, and compassion is the most evolved space to come from.   I will notice what comes up this week in my world,  


What is your experience with this?  I would love to hear, Jill

Ask yourself, “What is the purpose, meaning, or value of where I am and what I am doing right now?” Step out of the expectations and return to the present. That’s where you’ll find meaning—never in the past or future.
“You Are The Answer” by Michael J Tamura ~ pg. 124

As I lay in bed last night, my awareness drifted to a reading I once did at a psychic fair.e
A woman in her 30's came and sat down in front of me, looking a bit lost.  "I have never been here, but something drew me in." 

"At this faire, we say hello to spirit., in various ways - tarot, clairvoyance, channeling.... Maybe I can help you with something.  What is going on in your life right now?"

She said she was pretty happy, but her husband and she were not having any success with getting pregnant, they had looked into all sorts of medical proceedures and it was all a dead end. 

Have you thought about communicating with the baby beings that are interested in having you as their mother?

She looked bewildered.   "I didn't know that there was more,.... besides the physical."
 That is ok, maybe that is why you came in here,  to explore spirit.. Would you be interested in having me look and see what is going on with your wish  for a baby?

"Yes"
 
I saw there were three baby beings hovering nearby.  One was significantly brighter then the others - and had a strong heart connection with the woman with significant potential for growth and expansion, a partnership on many levels
 I could see there was resistance and some fear in the woman's space around having the agreement with this being - what it would mean for her to take this step of being a mother on this level,. Her worthiness was being lit up.  Lots of new movement in her space as we communicated.   Though she had resistance, the majority of it was not hers, but coming from outside that was not excited about the growth and change this agreement could bring.  How it would impact them, change their relationship etc. And the woman was being the effect of those energies.   I helped her to move that energy out.  Now she could heal her own resistance and have more communication with her own truth and her deep wishes hopes and dreams of fulfilling her spiritual destiny. and look at making  a conscious choice about which baby being she would like to have an agreement with.

New moon, new beginnings, the first thing that comes up is resistance,, releasing the restricting patterns that hold one back.  We are still in the creation, and the new is still in the dark, yet emerging as we give more space by clearing away any energies that are not in affinity with our deeper  truth and potential.


What are you noticing in your own life adventure?  I would love to hear, blessings Jill
