July 4, 2015 entered the period of what we call the 3 Negative Weeks. Yes, that's right, 21 days of pure negative energy! But read further so you can see how you can receive sooo much light and miracles from these 3 weeks! 

The 3 weeks is an annual mourning process that always occurs in the summer. 
This is when people mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple. 

This year the 3 Negative weeks started on Saturday, July 4, 2015 and will last through Sunday. July 26, 2015. The last day (July 26) it is believed to be the most negative and sad day of the year. You can even hear about disasters that rocked our nation on this date. 

The first day of the 3 negative weeks marks the day when the walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans in 69 CE. You can see why throughout history there is so much energy and sadness during these weeks. 

During the 3 negative weeks you experience others and yourself very moody, negative, cranky and angry. 
Usually people want to hide from the world during these weeks. 
This is not a good time for new beginnings or even business ventures. This is however, the perfect time to really reflect on your life and any challenges you are currently facing. This is a time when you can transform any negative traits you have or are dealing with. 

Take this time to truly see the light. See what you are REALLY dealing with rather than what you wish your situation could be. When you can truly be honest with yourself and not worry about what others think but truly see what is in front of you, then you are transforming yourself and elevating your consciousness. 

If you truly see the 3 negative weeks in a positive light, you will be able to transform so many challenges in your life into many miracles and blessings! 

If you have a fear of speaking up and standing up for yourself, during these 3 weeks you will be faced with a lot of opportunities to stand up for yourself. Meaning you will be faced with harsh situations you will be uncomfortable with, so instead of staying in bed under the covers so you don't have to confront the situation, create change in your life and speak up and stand up for yourself! You will then have mastered the cosmic energy from the 3 negative weeks and you will receive many miracles! 

Hopefully now you can see where you have 21 days, that's 3 weeks, of major opportunity for growth! 

Tips for surviving these 3 Negative weeks: 


1. Meditation, Yoga or Energy healing is key. Meditating, practicing yoga or receiving energy healing will help you elevate your soul during these intense weeks. 


2. Share with others. Be kind and thoughtful with others even if you are angry. GREAT way to receive more light! 


3. Apply unconditional love wherever you can even if you are having a bad day. GREAT way to receive more blessing, miracles and light! 


4. Avoid getting married during these weeks. If so, it is recommended without music. 


5. Avoid getting a new haircut or shaving. 

Remember to share all your kindness and love with others during this time. Be kind and loving towards ALL animals. Take time to honor Mother Earth and send her light! 

May you all have a positive 3 Negative Weeks my Starseeds! 

Namaste Witches!

Tuesday, June 16, 2015 at 10:05am/ET enters the New Moon in Cancer. Western astrologers work with science so they connect this New Moon with Gemini. But spiritually it's more connected with Cancer. 5 days from now even the Sun will already be in Cancer. And since the veil is slowing dropping and soon there will be no time and space in the 3rd dimension it only makes sense that this New Moon is connected to Cancer. The Kabbalists also connect this New Moon with Cancer. Some of you may still be releasing the Gemini energy from the past few weeks so I will explain a bit of the Gemini energy as well. 
Mercury Retrograde went direct on June 11th but the shadow is still present until June 27th. So please try to avoid any arguments and hold on from purchasing any new electronics until the 27th just to be safe! 
The Sun is in Gemini until June 21st, Mercury is in Gemini until July 8th, Venus is in Leo until July 18th, Mars in Gemini until June 24th, Jupiter is in Leo until July 16th, Uranus is still in Aries and Saturn just re-entered Scorpio until September 17th. Read the link for your sign's details: Saturn Transit in Scorpio

New Moon means the opportunity to start fresh. Represents new beginnings. It's when you start a new month with a choice to grow spiritually and to transform your life. You are influenced by the energy of the month on every New Moon even if you are not born in that particular month. It's the time to plant new seeds and state your desires and watch them manifest from that moment up to 6 months. This is a powerful time to write down your intentions and work on your new vision board. If you don't know what you want, ask for clarity. A New Moon means the sun and the moon are in the same zodiac sign. 

From now until the next New Moon you will feel the energy of Cancer transit in your life. Cancers are very emotional. Cancers are ruled by the moon. They are a water sign and they are one of the most emotional signs of the zodiac. 
This month work hard on not being too judgmental towards others and yourself. Cancers tend to place judgment everywhere and that is something you must restrict from this month. They tend to hold on to grudges for dear life. This is not a very positive trait so make sure that you work extra hard on letting go of any grudges you are still holding within. The positive thing about Cancers is they love to love. Once they love you, that's it, they will smother you. So make sure this month you find a balance with loving someone and not becoming the bride of Chucky by being obsessed and controlling! You don't want your loved one running away from you, do you?! Think not! 
You can learn to love in a healthy way by learning to restrict from controlling your loved ones and people around you this month.

Crabs represent the zodiac sign of Cancer. Crabs walk sideways and Cancers tend to walk sideways in their life in order to avoid facing their fears head on. So this month work hard on facing your fears and tackling them head on! Avoid getting stuck in the past by holding grudges towards people and situations. LET IT GO!!! 
This month recognize your fears when they come to surface. Don't avoid them by hiding your emotions. 
The actual cancer illness was created during the month of Cancer. I know, hard to believe, but only makes sense. 
Cancer is formed in the physical body due to suppressed anger inside that was never expressed or shown. It was masked. So, therefore, it eventually and unfortunately takes manifestation in the physical body with an illness known as cancer. No coincidence. Like mentioned above Cancers tend to hold grudges and live in the past. So make sure this month you don't hide any feelings. If you are angry, express it (in a healthy way please) to yourself out loud or to the person or situation it is directed. Obviously you don't want a negative situation formed but it's always important to face your fears head on and this way, it's over and done with. Have the courage this month! Your spirit guides and angels are watching over!!! 

Because the sun is still in Gemini until the 21st some of you may still experience a bit of Gemini energy this week.   Gemini is ruled by Mercury but Mars will be in Gemini until June 24th. So this is the perfect time to practice communication. Learn how to communicate with others from a place of love instead of fighting and creating chaos in your life. Learn to avoid gossiping and refrain from hearing gossip. Learn to truly listen to others and take in what they are saying. Listen, listen, listen! Use social media and the internet to connect to others if you are looking for a new job, new project or to invest in a venture. You can find ideas by going out and meeting new people. Go beyond your comfort zone this month. Come from a place of truth. Learn to speak with truth and love behind everything you say and do. Let go of feeling you have to be cool or in control. Love and truth always comes from the light of the Creator. So stick with that! If you feel stuck this week or this month, start heading in a different direction in life. Take a leap of faith! 
Go for it! Don't worry how or when it will happen. Just set your intentions by asking the universe or visualizing what you want, have certainty that it will manifest and take one simple action towards your desires, and watch it manifest before your own eyes!!! Go for it!!! BECOME YOUR DREAM! 

I wish you all a fabulous New Moon! Make sure to set your intentions and truly go deep in your understanding of your belief system. Don't just read and feel you've gone deep, do the dirty work and face your fears and go beyond what makes you uncomfortable. Go deep in your spiritual studies. You need to question life, and the energies beyond our planet and understand that we are all connected. Learn to see yourself in an animal. Learn to see that they have a soul behind those eyes and have feelings. Realize that we all, each and every one of us including animals and plants, have a spark of light that is God. We are God. That spark of light is inside of our very own being. We are all ONE. 
Like Ben Stiller said in Meet The Parents, "CAN YOU DEAL WITH THAT?!?!"

Note to Self: 
Due to some of your emails in regards to wanting to wait until after the holiday to begin the food challenge, I have extended the start date to Sunday, July 5th, 2015. That's when we will begin the GirlieVegan Raw Until 4pm 22 Day Challenge. I will post the instructions by next week and you will be able to know what you will need and all the social media hashtags so we can all stay connected and push each other. You will have my support throughout the whole challenge. I can't wait to see the before and after pictures!!! 

Also stay tuned for some exciting GirlieVegan projects that have been cooking for a bit and are ready to be launched soon! 

Thank you so much for all the love you all show me with emails and sharing the blogs! I am humbled by your love and please know you are all in my prayers. I am eternally grateful to you all. LOVE YOU! 

Namaste Witches!!!

Here we are darlings! Week 7 in The Omer Count: Malchut.
Last 6 weeks of the 7 weeks of spirituality was all about 
Chesed (Mercy), Gevurah (Judgment), Tiferet (Beauty), Netzach (Victory), Hod (Majesty), and Yesod (Foundation). 
Now we have entered the 7 and final week of the 7 weeks of Spirituality and you will read how all the previous 6 weeks all add up to this week's energy of Malchut (Kingdom).

Karen Berg explained it best by stating that while all the other levels discussed during this Omer are concealed from the 5 senses, Malchut is actually the physical world that we live in. It is everything that is manifested. The purpose of Creation, the transformation of potential to actual, the exposure of the hidden, and materialization of the immaterial are all contained in this level of existence. Karen explains how at the Kabbalah Centre they explain that all of humanity descended from Adam, and in each generation we are correcting a different aspect of him. The souls of earlier generations were greater and on a higher spiritual level than those of our current generation. For that reason, those earlier generations were collectively responsible for correcting Adam's head, neck, heart, and so forth. The generation that we are living in is the generation appointed to correct the heel of Adam. The heel correlates with the Sefira of Malchut because it is the lowest point of the body, just as Malchut is the lowest of Ten Sefirot (Which is pictured here: Sefirot).
She goes on to explain that the news today is full of chaos: natural and unnatural turmoil, fights, wars and violations of human rights and dignity. All of this is part of the dirt of the heel, the garbage of the Earth, and we, fortunately or sometimes unfortunately, are the garbage sweepers. Our job is to make these difficult corrections because we are the souls that are incarnated here on Earth at this time, we are the ones who are responsible to do this work.
Every time we manage to take responsibility and correct something within ourselves, we are doing this work of the heel, impacting the whole of Creation. 
Karen Berg suggests that this week, the final week of the Omer, as you face whatever it is that is before you, remember that our role as individuals is to take part of our being that needs healing and through our spiritual effort and transformation bring it into wholeness, returning to oneness with our true and Eternal Source. 

To me this all means that this week we have true potential to see what we are being exposed to spirituality so we can correct and heal ourselves. The action we take in healing ourselves effects the rest of the planet as a whole.
The first 5 weeks of Omer count were connected to our 5 senses, how we feel, react, forgive etc and the 6 week was about bonding all those 5 weeks together and sharing them. Now this week it's the complete foundation of all 6 weeks coming in to surface to represent who we are and where we are. 
This week is about Sovereignty. The state of being rather than an activity. Leadership is a passive expression of human dignity which has nothing of its own except that which it receives from the other 6 emotions. 
At the same time, Malchut manifests and actualizes the character of the human spirit. It is the very fiber of what makes us human. Why we love the way we love. Malchut is a sense of belonging. Knowing that you matter and that you make a difference. That you have the ability to be a powerful leader in your own right. It gives you the independence and confidence and the feeling of certainty and authority. 
When you are in a healthy state of Sovereignty and connected to the higher portion of Malchut you are always kind and loving. A powerful and effective leader needs to be warm and considerate. So make sure you are applying that towards yourself and mostly towards others. 

This week's Malchut and lesson is connected to the our Root Chakra. 
The root chakra is the first chakra and is located at the base of the spine, the pelvic floor. It is the root of your being and establishes the deepest connections with your physical body, your environment and the Earth. It's how you survive. No coincidence that it connects to Malchut, the heel of Adam.
The root chakra is connected to safety, instinct, sexual being, survival, grounding, family, boundaries, security and new opportunities/new beginnings. 
If your root chakra is blocked, you will experience relationships issues, trust issues, feel insecure with work and money, and fear of being stuck in one place. 
When your root chakra is balanced and opened, you will experience love from your relationships, feel grounded and secured in all aspects of your life. Experience manifestation and new experiences. You will trust even when you've been hurt in the past. 

I know this was a lot to read but I wanted to make sure you all understood the power you have available this week to see what area in your life is in chaos and how you contributed to the situation and how you can take responsibility, transform and heal yourself from it. You will literally have a true awakening. This will have ripple effect on the rest of the planet without you realizing it. Someone else will be able to have an awakening and elevate their soul due to your one action. Realize this week that you DO matter. YOU ARE important. 

Take this week to do something kind for humanity. Sign up and volunteer somewhere. Go out of your way to help someone else. You will feel so good and in return inspire someone else to do the same. 

I can't express how eye opening this week will be for all of us. I hope you are able to see the lesson! 
I wish you a week of transformation and LOVE! 

I love you all!!! 

Namaste!

It's week 6 in The Omer Count: Yesod.
This week's energy is all about the foundation and bonding in life. The previous 5 weeks we learned about love, discipline, compassion, humility and endurance. 

This week Karen Berg explains that Yesod is the channel of spiritual and physical sustenance, the link between the Upper and Lower Worlds. She goes on to explain that Joseph the Righteous, the son of Jacob, was a man who chose to never become a victim of his reality, despite the fact that he was kidnapped, betrayed, wrongly imprisoned, separated from his father and seduced by another man's wife. Joseph never lost sight of his inner spirituality. He always said "I know that wherever I am, there is a reason for my being here."
Karen Berg wants us to understand on the most profound level that when something happens to us now, it means that somewhere along the line, we did or said something (whether in this lifetime or a past one) that set the stage for our current circumstances. Our ability to move forward can be sparked by the understanding that (1.) wherever I am, there is a reason for me being there, and (2.) this experience is offering me another chance to take 100% responsibility for my experience and reconnect to God. 
She ends this week's portion with explaining that Joseph saw every negativity, every uncomfortable situation, even every mistake that he made, as an opportunity to awaken the Light that was inside of him. By doing the same, we can build our own spirituality, become a channel for others, and have a freedom that we couldn't expect before.

What does this all mean to us? This means that this week's energy is all about the bonding you have with yourself and others. Bonding is the ultimate emotional connection. Bonding is the foundation of life. The previous 5 weeks every quality connected to the week's energy was based on your individual connection but this week it's about understanding that without bonding no feeling can be truly realized. Bonding channels all five previous qualities into a solid bond, giving it the meaning foundation. Bonding is eternal. It's that connection you devote yourself to with yourself, your spiritual connection, mother and child, husband and wife, brother and sister, close friends. It's about allowing yourself to trust in yourself and trust in others. It creates a sense of confidence, a sense of belonging, that "I matter" and "I am meaningful". 

This week's energy of bonding and foundation is connected to our Sacral chakra. 
Our sacral chakra is our relationship area. So no coincidence there. 
When your sacral chakra is blocked, you will feel angry, resentful, stressed, unable to let go of a person/situation, you will not be trusting, you will have intimacy issues, addiction problems, and have stomach issues. 
When your sacral chakra is cleansed, you will be able to forgive, let go, surrender, trust, feel happy, experience new beginnings, be able to create boundaries with others and have healthy relationships with your loved ones. 
Make sure to envision an orange bubble around your stomach area going inside and clearing your sacral chakra. 

Week 6 is all about creating a stronger bond with others. So make sure to take time this week to connect with your loved ones and go out of your way to show them you care. If you have an individual in your life that you need healing with, this is the week to open the door for the relationship to heal. Use this week's energy to heal any misunderstandings you have with anyone. You will feel so much better in the end. 

Take time to bond with your furry friends. Animals have such a healing energy to them. And when you truly bond with animals you are able to raise your frequency levels to a whole new dimension. You will be able to heal others and heal yourself. Animals have such high frequency levels of energy that it's truly inspiring.
When you can connect to yourself, others, animals and earth, it's the ultimate connection to the oneness universe consciousness. It's only then that bonding will be constructive and everlasting. 

There you have it my friends! This week is all about the LOVE in your connections to others. You cannot bond without the power of love. If you can't have love towards someone in your life at the moment, ask yourself why and dig deep. 
Are you expressing yourself with love?

This week make sure to think of one person you need to forgive and one person who you need to apologize too. Initiate the contact with love. 
Then find one friend and one family member and show an act of love towards this person. 

I wish you all a wonderful week filled with love, bonding and setting your foundation of life. 

Week 6  is over on Saturday at sundown. 

Namaste bunnies!

It's week 5 in The Omer Count: Hod.
In the past 4 weeks of the 7 weeks of Spirituality we have dealt with the energies of: Mercy, Judgment, Beauty and Victory. Now this week it's all about Majesty. 
Karen Berg explains to us this week that the energy is about the ability to transform judgment into loving-kindness. She explains how this week our work is to transform all the uncomfortable, difficult moments that we come up against into moments of loving-kindness and realignment with our soul. When we learn how to have harmony within ourselves and peace and contentment with life, we can become a greater force of kindness in this world. Loved when she explained that sometimes we are so busy beating ourselves up in the darkness that we forget we are a spark of Divine Light.
Karen made huge sense regarding the energy of transformation when she said that the greatest amount of positivity will always come from the negative side. Rabbi Akiva, one of the purest souls  to ever walk the earth, came from the seed of Cain who was known for both envy and murder. The deepest and most profound transformation cannot come from someone who is born of goodness or has done only good things all his life. To become a soul like Rabbi Akiva, we have to work hard for it on the spiritual path, and in order to work for it, we need to be certain that at our very core, our essence is pure Light.

This all means to me that this week we have a huge portal of energy to create transformation in our lives. But with that comes situations being exposed that we may not like but it's the light giving us guidance in what it is we need to transform and correct. 
Hod is also connected to the energy of Humility. So this week not only are we making transformation happen but the fuel behind last week's energy of Victory is humility. Transformation can't occur without the fuel of humility. 
Humility is the silent partner of endurance. Its strength is in its silence. Humility should not be confused with weakness and lack of self-esteem. Humility is an acknowledgement to the light of the creator, to Divine Source. It's about acknowledging that your strengths and talents come from a higher place, gives you the power to endure far beyond your own perceived capacity. 

When you are so selfish and just into yourself and all about yourself, your cup is full therefore you are not allowing any room for growth or manifestations to occur. When you humble yourself and realize it's not all about you in this world and it's about helping others, animals and the earth, you then empty your cup and allow for more to come in. Humility is the key to reaching beyond yourself, the key to creating a life without any limitations. Humility is the key to finding out who you truly are. 
If you ever meet someone who you think is a goody two shoes, don't compare or judge them. Just know that in order for them to have had a huge transformation in their life, they came from a very dark place. But if you meet someone who thinks they are perfect, don't apply judgment either, just send them light because if they would apply humility they would know they wouldn't be in a better place had they not been in a dark alley. 

The chakra connected to this week's energy of humility and transformation is again our Solar Plexus. 
We know from last's week post that the solar plexus is connected to our confidence area. When this area is blocked we suffer from low self-esteem and have a lot of fear behind everything. 
The solar plexus is about our identity and inner true self. So make sure to work on meditating and directing the energy to uplift your solar plexus. When it's balanced and cleared you will feel empowered and strong. 

There is so much energy this week between the Full Moon and the energy of transformation and humility that we must truly see all of this as a gift. We have the ability to take whatever situation we are stressed about and turn it over by taking responsibility for our thoughts, intentions and actions. We have the power to truly transform everything in our lives by knowing we have the choice to create a better situation by acknowledging where this power truly comes from. We are not alone in this journey. We have an amazing universe that is attached to so many angels, beings, spirit guides and divine source that lives within us and around us everyday. 

We have to work hard in learning to truly help others and go out of our way to ask our friends, family, loved ones and strangers how they are doing. And truly stretch yourself and ask "How can I be of service to you?" and by doing one act of kindness you are creating a ripple of effect throughout this one person, community and world. 

I truly and humbly wish you all a beautiful week filled with lots of growth and humility. Remember you are not alone and you have others like myself here to help you on your new journey. We are all connected from the same spark of energy! I love you! 

Week 5 is over on Saturday at sundown.

It's Week 4 of the Omer Count: Netzach. 
In the last 3 weeks we learned about Mercy, Judgment and Beauty. Now this week it's all about Victory (Netzach).
Karen Berg explains how Moses literally had victory in his hands when he controlled the course of battle between the Israelites and the nation of Amalek by standing on a hill and raising and lowering his hands. She explained that Moses was given the job of receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai because it was through his tremendous spiritual effort and endurance that he achieved total understanding. 
She also goes on to explain that all the energies from the 7 Weeks of Spirituality (the ten Sefirot) can be found in certain stones and crystals today. The energy of Netzach is found in a stone called Tarnish also known as Topaz. Topaz has healing energy and its vibration is used to release stuck energy and helpful to connect to personal truth.

What does this all have to do with us today? Whether you are religious or not, it doesn't matter, this is all about spirituality. It's about your own relationship with yourself, a higher power and your own belief behind it. 
It's all about learning a lesson and the blessing behind any story we read whether it's real or not. It's about seeing the light in every situation and how we can apply it into our own journey. 

Endurance, ambition and determination are key factors in gaining victory. And since victory is the energy of this week, learn how to apply and experience victory in your life today. Endurance is a balance of patience, persistence and guts. Without endurance, any good desire or intention has no chance of victory. 
Having endurance means to be and feel alive, to be driven by what truly matters. It's about fighting for what you believe and going all the way. It's an energy and a life force that comes from within and stops at nothing to achieve it's goal. This force requires that endurance be used in a healthy and productive manner. 
In order to have victory you need: love, compassion, discipline, dignity, bonding, endurance and humility. 

The chakra that is connected to this week's energy is the third chakra (in the Sefirot) which is the Solar Plexus. 
When this chakra is blocked we feel low self-esteem, we don't think we are good enough, we fear rejection, we don't have control over ourselves and no will power. When this chakra is balanced and cleared we feel empowered, strong, positive thoughts, and we have strong will power. This chakra is connected to the stomach, small intestine, liver, digestion, pancreas and even blood sugar. So make sure to have your Solar Plexus cleared so you don't manifest physical issues in those areas. 

This week there was a riot and uproar in Baltimore, Maryland. No surprise here as the energy of this week is about victory, endurance and fighting for what you believe in. Sad to me that everyone involved in the riot turned to violence. Riots have been around since the beginning of our history text books. No news there. 
My friend Natalie explained to me how the two most rival gangs joined forces for this riot because a young boy died in the hands of a cop. This means people can learn to set aside their differences for a cause.
Anyone that knows me knows I have a rebel heart so I am all about protesting and standing up to the powers at be. But I am highly against violence as this is the most negative energy there is. There are ways to stand up against the forces that are trying to oppress you, but you most do so in a positive way. 
Like Madonna once sang "Let LOVE shine and we will find a way to come together to make things better!"

Real change and power starts with you and within yourself. Start by awakening yourself to the truth, not what you read, see, or hear by media, text books or people. Listen to your inner self for true guidance. The light that shines within yourself will never steer you wrong. 
When you are awakened you will start attracting others that are awakened or need to be awakened and together you can create change by sharing your light with the world. Lead by example. Your thoughts, actions and energy cause a ripple effect. 

Have a wonderful week filled with victory in every situation you are in. May you find a cause you believe in and educate others how to achieve victory. Let your light shine in a positive way! 

Week 4 is over on Saturday at sundown.

It's week 3 in The Omer Count: Tiferet. 
The last 2 weeks we dealt with Mercy and Judgment towards ourselves and others. Week 3 of the 7 weeks of spirituality is all about Tiferet (Beauty). 
Karen Berg explains this week is all about the expression of beauty, balance and healing in the universe. No coincidence it's also the New Moon of Taurus, the zodiac sign that is also associated with these same energies. 
She explained that Tiferet (beauty) and Taurus is connected with the color green - which stands for the color of life, healing, nature and balance. 
The chakra connected to week 3 is the heart chakra. Karen explained most of the human population has issues with the heart chakra no matter how loving or spiritual we are. There is always a piece of energy in there that is angry, bitter or feels lonely. But she explain we must take responsibility this week for all of our actions and any situation we are in. The world is our mirror. 

What this all means to me, is basically, this week we have complete access to truly transform ourselves through the power of healing. If we start experiencing situations this week where we are blaming others, we have to truly dig deep and take responsibility in how we co-created the situation and how to avoid doing it again to someone else. 
We also have to start seeing the beauty in life. Take time to breathe in the gift of life, the present moment. Be grateful! Are you busy running around all day? Take 60 seconds to realize how blessed you are to be alive. No matter what your situation is, you still have a working mind, you have the power to create and manifest a blessed life. So start thinking positive and feel the love the Universe has to offer. The Universe is always working in your favor. You just have to take responsibility in knowing that you are responsible for the energy you bring into a room and in your life!

Whenever our heart chakra is cleared and balanced, we feel the power of love, gratitude, happiness, joy and we just want to share this feeling with everyone! We don't hold grudges, we forgive easily and we have no fear! 
But when our heart chakra is blocked, we feel angry, alone, sad, jealous, envy and bitterness. That is never a good feeling! As your energy healer, spiritual teacher and fairy godmother, I can tell you that if you have any of these negative feelings, you are blocked in your heart chakra.
This week and the rest of the month you have a huge portal available to you to create major transformation. 
Let's open up all the locks around our hearts and just be free!!! 

Enjoy the beauty in your heart, in your life, in your family, in your friends and in your fur children! Learn how to appreciate Mother Earth by connecting to the sun, taking a walk in the park, hugging a tree and recycling :)
All these energies will uplift your heart chakra and create balance in your life. 

Go out of your way to share this energy with all your loved ones and people you do not even know. After all, we are all connected from the same source! 

May you all have a wonderful week and truly take time to see your lesson for growth and appreciate the beauty within yourself and others! 

Week 3 is over on Saturday at sundown.

It's week 2 in The Omer Count: Gevurah. 
Last week was all about Chesed (Mercy) and this week it's all about Gevurah (Judgment). 
Karen Berg explained it best with the following message: 
We enter the second of the seven weeks of the Omer which corresponds to the channel for judgment, discipline, and strength in the universe. The energy of this week is attached to Isaac the Patriarch. 
This week offers us the opportunity to work on our judgment (judgment of ourselves, others and situations) which blocks us from spiritual growth and freedom. 
Karen suggests we take action this week in two ways:
1. Replace victim mentality with self-responsibility.
2. Let go of the negativity that keeps us stuck.  
She also shared an amazing statement: "The more we embrace the consciousness of looking inward to take responsibility and change rather than looking outward to judge, the freer we become, and the freer we become, the more we touch and reveal our own power."

To me this all means that this week we must all take full responsibility for our actions. It's so easy to always blame others for things that "happen" to us. Whether we find ourselves saying "Oh I can't believe him! How dare he do this to me?!" Or "She's so shady! I know she's jealous of me and talking behind my back!" We are all guilty of saying or thinking this way sometimes. But in reality we are really co-creating negative energy around us while giving away our power. 
It's also a way to deflect or deviate away from the real truth, which is, we are not victims. We are responsible for all of our actions. And this is usually hard for us to truly see or admit. But it's in this process that we truly are able to break free and create positive energy and receive more light in our lives. 
Take this week to truly work hard on transforming your thought patterns. Catch yourself when you are blaming someone or judging someone else, what you could have done differently or what did you contribute to the situation.
Perhaps you need to learn to restrict a little and watch what you say or not force situations to happen and let it all go. 
We live in a world of cause and effect so at some point we have to end with blaming others for being the reason we are not receiving what we desire or why things are "happening" to us. 
Change your thought patterns and you will change your life! 

This week we are all still connected to the energy being concentrated on our throat chakra. 
So remember from last week's post, the throat chakra, when not balanced, will not allow you to communicate correctly or you will find yourself gossiping too much or it simply means you are not speaking the truth! 

As your energy healer and fairy godmother, I suggest you go out of your way to take full responsibility this week and speak and own your truth! Work hard on not judging yourself or others this week! Remember you never know what a person is going through unless you've walked a mile in their shoes! 

This energy will last until Saturday at sundown.

Important spiritual weeks are ahead for us all my friends!
I read Karen Berg's explanation of the energy of The Omer and think it's one the best so I had to share! 
 
The night after the Seder, we enter a 7 week period called the "Omer" which means 49 days of spiritual testing during which we can earn and keep the light we received on Pesach . 
Each of the 7 weeks corresponds to one of the 7 lower Sefirot that make up the Tree of Life: Chesed (Mercy), Gevurah (Judgment), Tiferet (Beauty), Netzach (Victory), Hod (Majesty), Yesod (Foundation), and Malchut (Kingdom). 

These 7 Sefirot are the channels of energy through which the universe is physically manifest. One of the ways that Kabbalists understand these Sefirot is through the biblical patriarchs and matriarchs who are "chariots" by which these particular cosmic energies are "drawn down" from their potential state in the metaphysical realm to an active form in our physical universe. 

During the course of this week we have been making our spiritual corrections on the level of Chesed. The energy of Chesed is mercy and kindness, and the patriarch who draws down this energy is Abraham. 
Our goal for the remainder of this week (until Saturday evening when the energy shifts), is to be like Abraham and inject mercy and kindness wherever possible into our dealings with others. Now is the time to be gentle and kind even in instances where we believe toughness and judgment is warranted. 

Karen Berg also explained that the chakra that is connected to Chesed is the throat chakra. 
Being an energy healer I know exactly what this means. Whenever your throat chakra is blocked it means you are not expressing/communicating yourself or your thoughts properly, you are not speaking up or speaking the truth, and/or gossiping. We always want to be able to have a clear, balance and active throat chakra. Because when it's balanced and cleared we are able to express ourselves in a way that is so effortlessly. We are able to stand and speak the truth and we avoid speaking gossip as much as possible. This is also important for creative people who have to express themselves through their voice or speech.
Release your fear against not speaking the truth. We are all not perfect and we should never expect anyone else to be for that matter. Understanding and accepting ourselves is the key to truly understanding and accepting others. 

So this week that we are under the energy of Chesed, truly try to practice compassion towards yourself and others. 
Go out of your way to truly listen to the person that is giving you attitude and understand where they are coming from.
Go out of your way to volunteer somewhere, understand the root of the cause and find a way to make it better. 
Go out of your way to help an animal in need and help Mother Earth by recycling and eating better. 
Go out of your way to love yourself more by letting things go, by releasing fear and trusting Divine Souce.
Go out of your way to love yourself a little bit more by eating a healthy meal and exercising.
This is the perfect time to forgive yourself and others who have hurt you. 
A simple act of kindness towards someone else will change your energy and shift your life in ways I can't even describe. 

Remember this week until Saturday, April 11th evening time, it's all about compassion and kindness. 
Let's pay it forward this week!!!

Last night I went to the Zohar Connection at the Kabbalah Centre in NYC. 
I love that place. It's where I had an amazing spiritual awakening in the beginning of my spiritual journey. 
Every Tuesday night they have The Zohar Connection with Eitan Yardeni. It's the consciousness portion of the week from The Zohar. 

This week's portion of The Zohar prepares us for the energy of Passover which is in two weeks. This week is about cleansing our own negativity. 
During this time we have to connect with sacrifice and see the animal self in us, in other words, our bad ego. 

When fighting your ego, doing what is uncomfortable and fighting negativity, it's important to do so with the consciousness knowing it's to get closer to the light. 
If you fight your ego just for the sake of fighting negativity and not connecting to the consciousness part, then it will be draining. Shift your consciousness to knowing it's to get closer to the light. You must enjoy the process of breaking your ego, if not, what's the point?!

Another important lesson for everyone this week is to understand that all that is brought as a burnt sacrifice is male and not female, because the burnt sacrifice rises above the heart. 
Thought is higher than the Heart. It is known what is above the heart - Namely Thought - for thought, Chochmah is considered male and the Heart is considered female, Namely Binah. This is the secret of the understanding Heart as it receives from Chohmah. 

Chochmah = Mind
Binah = Heart

So in other words, your mind is what sends the signal to your heart. Why your thought patterns are so important!

Now knowing this information, use it to help you transform your consciousness by changing your belief system. 
The following are steps that equal your consciousness.

Consciousness: 
1. Belief system
2. Desires/Intentions
3. Thoughts

Here are examples of different belief systems:

Satan
I love and respect myself only if I accomplish
VS
Soul
I love and respect myself for who I am

Satan
When I don't receive approval from others it makes me feel empty and insecure
VS
Soul
I feel the light in me even when others do not

Satan
When I recognize negativity in me I feel vulnerable and disconnected
VS
Soul
When I recognize negativity in me I celebrate the opportunity to get closer to the light

Satan
When things don't go my way I don't feel secure and protected
VS
Soul
When I do my best to connect to the light I feel the guidance and protection of the light at all times

Satan
If I completely open myself to love I will feel vulnerable
VS
Soul
Giving love and warmth will bring love and joy in my life

Satan
Receiving for myself alone gives me pleasure and security
VS
Soul
Giving and receiving for the sake of sharing brings me lasting fulfillment

Pick two examples that you connect too and work on transforming them from the Satan belief system to your Soul belief system. 
If you think you don't connect to any, well then, that's your bad ego talking! 
After you have done this on your own you should try this exercise with a friend and both share which belief system you have been attached to and you both can work on shifting your consciousness. 

Use the DNA of the Soul letters above and scan them from right to left. Stare at the letters for 10 seconds and then close your eyes and meditate on them with the consciousness that you are transforming your old belief system to your new belief system. 

Everything we do has to be done with love! Purify the mind. 

And there you have it! The consciousness portion of the week! 
Make sure to apply and share with your friends. 
When you receive light and knowledge it's important to receive for the sake of sharing!!! 

This Friday is extremely powerful! Be on the look out for the New Moon post in the next two days! 
A lot of information on such a transformational day. It's the New Year in astrology!
