In memory of Tara.

Hello everyone,

Today I felt the need to share a very recent experience that really shows how the Universe works in magical ways, how events and circumstances are orchestrated for the highest good and for the purpose of love. Everything takes us to the point of origin and return that is love. Source is love and so are we. Regardless of what we experience in our lives, we cannot deny our essence of love.

When I was five years old, we moved to our new home. We met our neighbor who quickly became best friends with my mom. My mom and our neighbor were like sisters and our neighbor even became my youngest brother's godmother. Friendship grew for many years until my neighbor, who I will refer to as Tara, had heart surgery followed by a stroke a few days later which left her paralyzed on her left side. She worked with therapists for a few years to rehabilitate herself but eventually gave up. The reason she gave up was that there was a weak foundation in her marriage and her husband was not in love with her. Tara knew this a long time ago, long before she became a mother, but nevertheless she continued to say that she "wanted him to love her again". This became an obsession for Tara. The greater Tara focused on trying to get her husband to love her, the less she focused on her own healing and self-love. We are all here to learn, to grow, to make crucial decisions but most importantly, we are here to love, starting with LOVING OURSELVES. We cannot expect love and respect from others if we do not give love and respect to ourselves. 

Tara entered a toxic cycle of martyrdom and drove away many people who had supported her over the years, including my mom and dad.  Tara started to give up and stopped her physiotherapy. She ended up in a wheelchair and became housebound. Her husband remained with her as a carer but not as a soul mate. 

I would see Tara from time to time. Whenever I visited her I always felt heaviness in my heart. Twenty years passed. Early this week I received news that my mom had to go to hospital unexpectedly as she thought she may have been experiencing a possible side effects from a medication she was taking. The doctors at the hospital performed some tests on her and she was then admitted as a patient.

The room my mom was admitted into in hospital had beds for two patients .When my mom and dad entered the room they looked over to the patient in the other bed and realized that it was Tara! What were the odds? My parents quickly learned that they had another PURPOSE for being there as Tara had suffered two strokes and was now in a coma.  Just before my parents entered the room the Doctors treating Tara had just told her family that she would not recover from the strokes she had suffered. In effect, she was about to leave her physical existence.

Tara chose to make the transition with the love of a friend (my mom) and her son holding her hands. She departed this world a few hours later, the same evening. My mom’s purpose was to create a space of love and light for Tara, so she could support her to make her transition, to tell her that everything would be ok, to have closure, so that they could forgive each other. Even though Tara was unconscious, we knew that she was more conscious than ever. From that plane, Tara could feel the essence of each one of us, our love. Tara reconnected with the essence of her being, her Soul ,and she understood who she truly was and she chose to return home.

I do not know what Tara’s soul contract was, but I do know that Spirit orchestrated this encounter for the highest good of all involved, for the purpose of peace. I felt Archangel Azrael with Tara and I can feel that she is ok now. She is very loved and finally free of pain. This blog is in memory of Tara. I asked for Tara’s permission to share this story, which she was happy for me to do and having done so my heart feels lighter. I am grateful I was able to learn this lesson from Tara and I hope that you can also take heart from her story.

When life takes you places that are dark and toxic, get out and seek the light because the longer you stay in the dark, the darker it becomes and the harder it becomes to find the way out. Make decisions based on love. Love yourself unconditionally and share that love from inside out -to your world, to the world.

Rest in Peace Tara. Lots of love from my heart to yours.

A Miracle of Life

Hello everyone,
I wanted to thank you all for reading this blog. You are very special to me!
The past few weeks have been very busy because we went on a road trip to visit my in law's. It was nice to re-connect with them and to view things from a different angle. In a way, I felt like an owl...able to observe and see beyond the obvious... which was very interesting because I learned a lot from the perspective of the owl in me. :-). 
Anyway, there is something really amazing that happened to me today and it is a huge reminder about the power of love and the miracle of life.
We are here for a reason, no doubt about that. That reason is the power that propels us forward even when we believe we have no more to give, even if we are not aware of that purpose. The reason why you are here is greater than fear and it is always about love.
Today I saw a very special baby boy. He was born in November last year and I happened to be there in the OR interpreting for his mother (I am also an interpreter and translator). She was expecting twins, a boy and a girl. I met mom several times before the delivery because she was a high risk mom and one of the babies had a mass in his lung so they had to monitor it to make sure he was ok and that the mass was not growing. 
One day after an ultrasound and while the technician went to check the images with the doctor I happened to look at the computer image of the baby boy's head. That is were the last images were recorded and somehow it was frozen in the big monitor. What caught my attention is that looking at that image you could see a clear picture of a lady...I immediately felt Mother Mary's presence and knew that she wanted mom to know that everything would be ok, and that she had to believe and trust that she would take care of her baby.
As you can imagine...I battled for a few seconds because I felt so strongly that mom needed to hear that message, but then again...I was there as an interpreter!
I know that God works in amazing ways and that I was there that day for a reason. The reason is always love, and that's why I knew that I had to fulfill that purpose. When I looked at mom, she was staring at the image with a very confused look. I smiled because that was the sign I was waiting for and so I casually said to her: "How interesting, It looks like the face of a lady!". She immediately agreed and said that she could not stop looking at it for that reason. I asked her if she believed in Mother Mary and she told me that very much so, and that she carries the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe with her. I took my interpreter hat off for just one minute and I told her that regardless, never stop believing and to pray to her.
Days went by and one day I was assigned to an emergency c-section and so when I arrived at the location, I realized it was for the birth of her twins. I was sent to be present in that moment for a reason...and that reason was and is love.
I was there as an interpreter and as me...the Lourdes that you know...praying for the health of the babies, supporting mom and sending positive energy in the room. The baby girl was born first...the baby boy came second and I was able to see him a second before he was rushed to the "nest" room. He did not sound good, and he did not sound good either. I was worried and I prayed while I supported mom. The baby was intubated and taken to ICU.
I did not see him afterwards but I did see mom several times for follow up appointments and she told me that the baby had emergency surgery to remove the mass, and so half of his lung was gone and that the doctors told her that he would not make it. He was connected to a machine that pumped blood for him.The max time was two weeks and that if he did not respond then he would be disconnected and most likely pass away. She was devastated! 
I looked at her and reminded her of our conversation and how important it was for her to believe and pray for a miracle.  
Well...the baby boy made it. He spent five long months in the hospital and was discharged two months ago. Today, I saw him for the first time since the day he was born. He looked amazing! Chubby, healthy, cute...I was completely blown away and so happy for experiencing such a miracle, the miracle of life.
I looked at him and said: "You are a miracle baby and I know you have a lot of great things to do here!". He smiled and my heart melted. I know that purpose is about love. Love is all!.
He taught me a lesson as he looked at me with wise eyes...never stop fighting, never give up, believe.

Thank you Mother Mary for your intervention and unconditional love! 
Love and Light,
Lourdes

The Path of the Seeker

"The path of the Seeker is both journey and goal"

Every journey starts with a very important first step. It takes courage and faith to start this journey, It is the journey of the Soul.

Our Soul is wise and that is why we must listen and follow it's guidance even though it is very scary not knowing where this journey will take you. What is important is that you are here and that you are moving forward.

I don't know about you but I have been feeling April's energies as a catalyst for change and realignment. It is not possible to follow a path that is not yours. There is not choice but being authentic. The more authentic and truthful you are to your essence, the easier and more enjoyable this journey will be.

The energy will force you to take a look at what is hidden, blocking you from taking the first step. Is it fear? Is it lack of trust? whatever it is that stops you from unlocking the door and stepping out...you can clear and release.

There is a great deal of baggage that we are all carrying and it is becoming heavier and heavier in our daily lives...well, it is time to let go and get rid of it. You cannot take it on your journey and anyway, it does not serve a purpose for you.

It is time to re-discover your roots and bring back ancestral memories so that you can see who you truly are. The connection is there, be open to remember. This is the perfect time for karmic recall and clearing of any karma and residual energy from your family lineage. Believe or not, your ancestors have a very strong presence in your present and directly influence how you perceive life. Sometimes there are links that do not serve for the greatest good and we need to break that cycle. The time is now!

For instance, I personally discovered that there is a link with the female ancestors of my family that have been influencing to believe that I cannot follow my own path and that instead, I need to sacrifice for the man of the family. There was a tremendous lost of personal power. This really explained why I continuously self-sabotaged every opportunity to be powerful and instead focused on supporting my partner to succeed. Once I recalled this reality, I realized that this cycle had to end. When you are aware of a blockage you are already working on releasing it, so be kind to yourself and give yourself all the credit that you deserve.

Secondly, our connection to Mother Earth is increasing at a fast speed. You are guided to take a look at the beauty that surrounds you and to realize that you are here to experience matter but that becoming too focused on material gain will only bring spiritual miserliness. Open the flow of giving and receiving and do not be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. As already mentioned, it takes a lot of Faith to take that very important first step.

Believe that you are provided now and always! If you look at the image of the seeker, he does not have much but as he starts his path, a beautiful rainbow appears. The seven rays, the bridge to another reality. You see, he cannot yet see what is awaiting but he is already receiving heavenly guidance in the form of rainbow energy.

There is a deep urgency to know and experience: To find the world's healing and to seek for a personal direction.

The Seeker, like the fool, can go anywhere, despised and overlooked because travelling without the weight of fixed ideas will allow the free flow of our destiny to be unwound. Those who explore the inner worlds cannot retain their preconceived ideas of themselves.

The Rainbow path will allow the Seeker to heal what is broken, balance what is imbalanced, align what is out of alignment.

The Seeker represents all who go on a spiritual quest as well as those who seek for the healing of the land. He embarks on his quest without a thought for the consequences or those left behind, for this inner journey can only be undertaken singly.

Trust that you are guided and protected as you step into the unknown to find your heart's desire. It is ok to be adventurous, spontaneous, youthful. This is the right time, the right energy.

Let the seeker show you the path of self-discovery and healing . It will be worth the experience!

Are you ready? I know that I am. 

Love and Light,

Lourdes

RELATIONSHIPS AND SPIRITUALITY

Good morning!

Two days ago I started a thread to gather some information about your own experiences in regards to spirituality and relationships. I was wondering about your perception and experiences because I personally feel that not sharing the same beliefs can be a huge obstacle because there is a part of you that is not expressed in the relationship.
I really appreciate your honest answers and the fact that the common denominator here is RESPECT. Respecting your partner's views and allowing each person you encounter in your life to be exactly who they are, without judgment and expectations. There is not right or wrong way to commune with the Divine, as long as it feels good in your heart. We are are all connected but unique, so embracing our uniqueness is appreciating all of God's creations. 
If we understand that we are whole and complete as we are, and that we are expressions of the Divine, then we are open to give and receive love and ready to share our completeness with others.
As I reflected on this subject, I decided to ask my angels and guides for guidance in regards to this, and I hope this message resonates for you as much as it did for me. 

You are a conduit of God's pure light and love; and you bring this healing energy through with your prayers, visualizations and positive intentions. This is your life purpose! You are anchoring Divine light and love to the earth, which is ensuring that the planet is safe, stable and protected.Please keep up this good work as it is necessary and valuable!
Love will transform your whole life because it is through love that you learn that another being is just a reflection of yourself, and in so doing, you grow into knowing the ultimate love of God. 

It is important to first understand Who you are and Why you are here. That your purpose is greater than what your eyes can see or your mind think. Your calling is yours...and it's through anchoring Divine light and love that you make a difference in the lives of many, including your partner. 
"What comes from the Heart, touches the Heart".
Love and light!
Lourdes

It's all about love

“You are, and always have been, my dream.”
-Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook.

Valentine’s Day is just down the corner…and I love that it’s all about LOVE! but I don’t follow the mainstream “concepts” and “ideas” about Valentine’s day. Love cannot be measured; Love can only be expressed and felt deeply in the core of your being. To me, this day is just a reminder and acknowledgment about the Power of Love. What does Valentine Day mean to you?
I also know that for some people that are not in a loving relationship, just ended one and/or are single, this day feels heavy in the heart. I know how it feels because I have experienced it too. The thing is that cultivating a loving relationship with yourself first, is more important that finding “the one”. If you start a relationship without loving yourself, you will cling to the other person with insecurity and other feelings that will eventually destroy what once brought you together. Love starts in you and expands outwards, not the other way around.
I have been strongly guided to offer two specials this week:
“Love and Relationship Reading”, which includes a Blessing Ceremony and an “Energy Healing session”, which includes a Blessing Ceremony and a Mini-Reading.
You can read details about each option and purchase one here:

Wishing you a day full of love and blessings,

TRUTH, YOUR TRUTH...UNIVERSAL TRUTH

Happy Monday everyone!

This week's guidance is very interesting. As many of you already know, we have started 2014 energetically.
I don't know if you feel the difference compared to January, but so far I can tell you that I feel an explosion of energy and enthusiasm. I think that is the best way that I can describe it. 
You can read a very interesting blog about what 2014 is all about right here: http://westernschooloffengshui.com/2014/01/2014woodhorse/
I also suggest that you follow Sarah Shepherd's blog where she gives energy updates regularly: https://lightworkerenergies.wordpress.com/

This week is about moving forward with Freedom and Peace. After a test, comes a gift. Well, the test was to release the fears within that have been secretly holding you back.I feel that most of us have worked very hard to release these fears and blocks. If you haven't done so yet...this is a sign for you to decide to overcame this challenge once and for all. The gift is an opportunity for prosperity in all forms. Will you accept this opportunity?

Mother Isis guidance through Alana's Fairchild Isis Oracle:

Remember who you are within, do not try to fit with external models of how to be in this world, for you are here to help birth a new way that is more aligned with spiritual truth.
You are guided to trust in your wisdom, to sit and contemplate any issue that you are questioning right now and to trust in the voice of your heart. Guidance doesn't have to make logical sense, though often at a higher level you will perceive a higher Divine logic in the guidance, it just needs to feel as though it makes your heart expand, and that will be a sign for you that is your truth.

 When I was sending healing over the weekend I noticed that I was guided to work with the Heart Chakra again and again. I kept hearing EXPANSION. A need to expand outwards. Also, there was a very specific message regarding the connection with your truth. For instance, the need to ground your truth so that you take actions aligned to it. The need to expand your truth so that you can understand your power and expand it outwards in order to touch other people's lives and so that they can expand their truth too.  How do you know that is the truth? Feel it  and know it in your heart.
Once you know it, you speak your truth and so it is much easier to see the truth in every situation and circumstance too. But most importantly, connect with your truth. When you are connected with your Divine intelligence...everything is clearer and aligned with truth. I see it as a clear channel of truth upwards and downwards.

The color vibration I saw clearing this channel was a Cobalt Blue and it assists in accessing Universal Truth and remembering one's life purpose, sacred origins and spiritual gifts. Wearing or carrying a crystal or gemstone such as Lapis Lazuli or Sodalite will align you with this energy. You can also surround yourself with the Cobalt Blue light and visualize this light clearing each chakra until you see it or feel it expand.Say aloud: "I receive any transmission and healing in unconditional love now for my greatest good, so be it". Then see this big sphere surrounding you and bathing every cell of your body and feel the connection all the way to the Stars, and back through you to the center of the Earth. Relax and feel the incredibly sense of calm, metal clarity and peace. Allow yourself to receive love and light from the Universe and the places that your Soul recognizes. Rest for a moment and drink plenty of water.


If you would like to receive a Cobalt Sphere of Light Healing session I am offering a 15 to 30 mins session.I will share notes with what I saw/ felt and messages for you for a donation amount that will be completely up to you. You can send your donation here: PayPal account: lourdyssima@yahoo.com.









Many Blessings to you,

THE BEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE YOURSELF

"Allowing to be who you really are is the best gift you can give yourself"

This morning when I woke up I had these words resonating loudly and clearly as if it was some sort of instruction for my day. 
The truth is that I have been feeling down for the past few days as I have worked on clearing and releasing what no longer serves a purpose in my life. It is a hard task to look inside yourself and find old patterns of thought and behavior that continue to block your growth. When you are "stuck" in fear, lack of self-love or self-confidence or even with a profoundly engraved "lack mentality"...How to move on?
This is exactly the place where I am right now. In reality, it is very easy for me to see what is that needs to be cleared and healed in every person that I encounter. I have a vision for you! The thing is that when it comes to me...I am very, very hard on myself. Ruthless to say the least.
The clue is "allowing". I don't allow myself to be me. Why? the environment, the worldly commitments, my unconscious beliefs...all of these are blocks that can be removed and will be removed. How?
I asked the Goddesses and this is the answer:
It seems that there are too many factors and no clear choices and you are feeling confused right now. You don't need to make a decision, instead give your mind a break and let it take a back seat where it belongs. Know that when it is time to make a decision, or you need clarity of mind that the way will be shown to you.
For now, concentrate on PURITY OF EXPRESSION.
The purity of your heart lights your path. All that is felt and experienced is the accurate mirror of what is harbored in the heart. Let your feelings and experience be of the highest quality of love. Celebrate the uniqueness of who you are. Dance through life, letting your passion light the way. Give yourself full permission to freely be who you are without limitation.You are a fun, beautiful, creative woman, let every cell of your body be ignited with your uniqueness, and express it to the world.

This rings very true to me...by letting the mind rest the only thing left is opening your heart to feelings and love and express those feelings without hesitation. Follow the path of the heart and do what ignites the FIRE within you. We are all connected but unique in our own ways and that's why it is important to allow your true self shine so that every aspect of God is expressed in the world.

Love and Light,

Lourdes

Message for Sunday January 19th 2014

Dear everyone,
Today's message is very strong and resonates with my personal circumstances. I could not believe that my answer is right in front of my eyes and I really hope that you can find the comfort, insight and encouragement to step forward into your power and be who you really are.
We are told that sacrifice is necessary to achieve victory but in reality sacrifice when aligned with your own truth is not a sacrifice, it is effortless. Sometimes there are things that we need to do in order to achieve our dreams...it is part of the journey but in reality, it is not necessary to suffer in any way and do something that you absolutely hate but that it is believed to eventually take you to the place where you "really" want to be. That is exactly it...a belief! A belief is not a reality.
Stepping into a place that does not align with your vibration will not take you forward in your journey but exactly the opposite.Because your talents will lie dormant and the flame of your passion will be almost extinguished.
There is an important reason why we delay our true purpose and that is insecurity. We believe that we are not ready, that we need more training, that we are not good enough...again, your belief is what stops you from trying. The answer is to change your belief.
Understand that you are very wise and that you have acquired important knowledge along the way...you are competent, capable of moving forward with assurance. You have the capacity of discernment in regards to your partnerships and maintaining clear boundaries between you and another. When you know who you are and have a healthy sense of where you end and others begin you will attract people who mirror back your wholeness. Also, the things that no longer work for you will end. People that do not mirror back your wholeness will leave your life.
There is a sense that it is time to re-evaluate and change course if what you are doing it's not working. This is a perfect time to reassess your goals and values. Are your actions in alignment with what you believe in? Have you created a partnership that is not mutually beneficial? Separation, dissolution, and dispersion are all in focus now. The price you'll pay will not be worth the prize. Separation will actually bring good fortune because it will FREE you from the things that stop you from your true destiny.
You are riding a wave that perhaps is fun and safe but it's taking you nowhere...You can only coast for so long before you hit the shoreline with a smack!.There is a wonderful wave of opportunity coming in for you to ride. You are meant to learn how to be a strong swimmer now. So take this time of conscious preparation to connect with you and build the skills necessary to ride that big wave when time is right and the time is coming.
Believe that you are capable of anything!
Love and Light, Lourdes.

Guidance from the Fairies for Sunday January 5th, 2014

FEELING SAFE

Card Meaning: Any feelings of danger or vulnerability are healing and they are replaced with the certain knowledge that you are safe and protected right now.

Happy Sunday everyone!
Today's message focuses on the feeling of safety that is so needed right now.
 If you have been frightened or insecure lately this message is for you. Heaven is aware of your feelings and has come to your aid. You are surrounded by heavenly beings who love and protect you on an ongoing basis.
The fairies remind you that your thoughts of danger are triggering your feelings of vulnerability. In your mind, you have given power to some outside entity. You believe that this "idol" that you have created has the power to hurt you. Yet, the only power it has, is that which you have attributed to it.
The fairies urge you to awaken from this mistaken concept. See that you have the power to create a happy and secure dream, and make the decision to feel safe.

Here is an affirmation to help you overcome this fear and feel safe and secure: I am safe. I am secure. I am completely protected at all times.


Last night I prayed for protection to all of us. There were many waves of Divine Love energy flowing and I visualized the whole planet surrounded by this energy. Many lightworkers are feeling vulnerable right now and the best way to raise your vibration is through the power of love and joy. :-)

Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Lourdes

Message for today Saturday January 4th, 2014

The energy today is about joyful activity, celebration of life and abundance.
THE SUN DANCERS.

"You are reminded of the laws of success and praise. Anything you place your attention on will manifest an experience, so the laws are always perfect. expect the best and praise it in advance. This unleashes the magic of mystical magnetic energy, drawing circumstances to you to create the reality you envision.
Give thanks in advance for the grace and goodwill of the Divine. Be willing to dance the victory dance as if your greatest dreams are realized, and watch how easily things begin to fall into place. Stay positive and leave the timing up to the Divine. All things are possible now.
Dance the joy of being, and celebrate your life and abundance today!."

I absolutely love this message from Colette Baron-Reid's "Wisdom of the Hidden Realms" oracle cards.The Sun symbolizes energy, life force, happiness...and the beautiful artwork shows what seems like an angelic being or a fairy dancing, celebrating and praising everything that we receive.
The last few messages that we have received lately are showing the importance of keeping our vibration high through the power of joy, how laughter is soo healing and how we need to focus on being truthful with ourselves...today is about celebrating with joy and appreciation and knowing that you can actually achieve what you desire. This card shows the connection with the Universe, Source, God, The Light... the energy that surround us at all times so today let's be happy, let's dance, let's celebrate.

With love and Light,
Lourdes

Message for Friday January 3rd, 2014

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

Archangel Raphael reminds us that worry and stress never help any situation, but laughter and prayer do have curative effects.
He is here to help you see there is humor within the human drama so that you can detach and lighten your heart. There is always big release felt after a good laugh.
Perhaps today is the perfect day to watch your favorite funny movie, or many of them.
Not long ago I watched a program about a Yoga that involves laughter...it's name is Laughter Yoga. :-)
I was telling my husband all about it and laughed all the way...without realizing that we were in the middle of the street and that people probably thought that I was kind of weird...lol. :-)
Here is the link in case you want to learn more about it. http://www.laughteryoga.org/english
Have a fun day and laugh as much as possible.

Love and Light, Lourdes.

Guidance for Thursday January 2nd, 2014

Good Morning everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful start of the New Year and that you feel the wonderful energy that 2014 brings.
Today's guidance points out the need to be authentic with ourselves. Many of us are setting goals and resolutions for the New Year but the truth is that there is no room to please others here. You are connected to your own truth and you will be guided to follow it.
Isis guides us to STAY TRUE AND BE IN OUR OWN POWER.
"You are a sovereign Divine being with spiritual authority and freedom within you. You do not need permission from anyone to be who you are and live your life as you choose. This is your Divine birthright. Guard it as the precious treasure that it is and remember that you are a Divine being."

Within us we hold great dominion, spiritual authority and freedom to be the sovereign ruler of our own Self. It gives us complete and utter choice to become as spiritually awake, free and self-determined as we wish to be, as well as providing us with complete choice as to what our values and actions will be this lifetime.
There is not permission required from anyone, except from yourself to be and live your truth.
There are time when you must act on it, which means recognizing when others seek to influence you for their own reasons, or when you are being manipulated out of your own authority, becoming blind to your own power of choice and instead believing that things are the way that they are and you cannot question.
Sometimes to exert one's own spiritual authority requires that you stand your ground and remain true to your knowing. This means always telling yourself the truth, and not selling out or giving away something that has genuine spiritual truth and meaning for you. You do not have to challenge another in order to honor your truth and inner authority. If you feel that another has to agree with you in order for your authority to be intact, that is not inner authority at all.
Honor your spiritual sovereignty now and always! Love and Light. Lourdes

Overview for the New Year 2014

Happy New Year everyone!
This is the first message of 2014! This message is a quick overview of the New Year and so far looks very promising.
Firstly, we need to be patient. Whatever happens around you, in the world…be still. Choose to be peaceful in the present. The Universe has many options, more than you are aware of. Quiet your mind, broaden your perspective and let the options come through. Winter will be a time of stillness for many of us but the energy of the New Year is JOY. To find your desired outcome, follow the path of joy.
This year you are guided to reconnect with the passion that you feel when you are thinking about or working on your life’s purpose. The joy that comes from your relationships, your hobbies...give you extra energy. Joy has the highest vibration and has the power to remove all obstacles and attract all of your needs.
2014’s energy is sweet, fresh and refreshing, encouraging us to take up a new hobby or take a fresh approach to an existing one. There will be a Shifting towards indulgence and enjoyment of the sweetness of life. For the New Year be very selective with your immediate environment and carefully select activities and friendships that match your vibration. It is very important that you clear and shield your energy on a regular basis so that you can maintain your vibration as high as possible.
You can ask Ascended Master El Morya and Archangel Michael to clear yourself. They can clear and elevate the energies in other people, your home or your office. After clearing yourself you can ask them to shield you from further intrusions. You need to shield yourself daily and/ or wear a crystal pendant to act as a buffer in harsh energy situations.
2014 is a year of Taking charge, of assuming a leadership position. Decide what you want and go for it! There will be many instances and situations to celebrate, family has a central role and there are many happy times ahead with celebrations and trips. If you are thinking about having children, this is a confirmation that it will happen. Interestingly enough the male and female energies are well balanced and the roles are not as rigid. Mothers are more fatherly and fathers more motherly. This is part of the shift for 2014.
Wishing you love and happiness! Lourdes.
