St Francis of Assisi

St. Francis of Assisi thru Sharon Taphorn, December 17, 2009

When you are ready to follow your heart, to truly follow your heart, call upon me for assistance.

Taping into a stream of thought with me takes the ability to slow yourself down, connect with the plant and animal kingdom , for these realms allow for a fast connection to the now moment. When commune with nature and the animals, you begin to understand unconditional love, how connected we are to each other and that now is the moment. So much time is spent on your plane, wondering and worrying, instead of doing and being. So many questions are asked as to how to achieve more, and as we share with you how simple it is, and yet you continue to ask and struggle. Life is not meant to be a constant struggle. When you planned to come for an earth journey, you saw all of the potential for growth and for learning, the beauty of the experience and you are aware how each step that you take affects the whole of creation. We are part of an ever expanding Universe, each being is a part of that Universe, the trees, and plant weave, the oceans and the many weaves that exists within it, the animal kingdom, and of course the human realm in all its dimensions.

Call upon me to assist you in being true to who you are. No more closet lightworkers, for these shifting times call for us each to be true to who we are. I can assist you in finding that love within you that will allow you to be the lighthouse for others who are still in the dark or dimly lite. Working with me assists in bringing grace back into your journey. You must become quiet, relax your mind, and release any thoughts that are around you. It is most beneficial to be in nature or near your beloved pets, I don’t recommend you do this in the wild until you have better practice with holding your energy still, perhaps work on holding that connection with animals in a zoo, or unknown contained animals first would be wise. As a side note, connecting with animals in a well run zoo or aquarium can be an astounding experience, and if you come across a poorly run facility, I encourage you with all of the love and grace you can muster, to bring about change in the mindsets of the people. They truly mean no harm, they are just confused and misguided and the most in need of assistance.

When you are connecting with me, you are connecting very much to the plant and animal realms. These are great teachers of wisdom, teachers of love, and the history of your world, talk to a tree or a rock or a mountain, talk to the waters, the oceans, the lakes and streams, there is much history in the land that is wanting to be shared. And when you get these messages, share them. When you share from your heart, you touch the heart of another and even if they think you are a bit looloo, they will feel your love, your passion and in that see your truth... and the light within begins. I stand before you in the unconditional love of the guidance realm and ask that you call us in to assist your journey at any time. We can be your messengers to the heart of another in love, to smooth out your human relationships as you shift and change into your true self.

We are here in love and service. St.Francis

Reincarnation and Past Lives

Reincarnation is the philosophy of living many lifetimes on earth and other planet systems. During these lifetimes you learn different lessons. In my study of Reincarnation I have learned some basic beliefs and Past Life Regression Techniques which aids in clearing the accumulated Karma and belief structures, allowing you to be more in alignment with the inner, peaceful you.

Exploring past lives allows us the opportunity to process deep seeded 'truths' we are carrying within our cellular memory. These 'truths' often were created as a defense mechanism to protect ourselves from the harsh reality of something we experienced. This can also be said about issues that we may have stored from childhood. As we evolve and change, these 'truths' become outdated and unnecessary, yet continue to block us from achieving the goals and attributes we are working on at this moment in time.

Through observing issues, situations and relationships through a past life regression, we often seem them from the bigger picture, without the emotion that they bring up in this lifetime, and therefore we have the opportunity to observe them from a different perspective, gaining clarity and understanding as to why some things feel the way they do in relationships, financial dealings, fears and phobias. They can be transformed and processed in a place where no time exists, stepping out of the dimension of time and space; we can explore many realms and dimensions.

The purpose of exploring past lives is a transforming, fun and inspirational way to process issues that no longer serve our current vibrational status.

Have you lived before? Most certainly if you are reading this, you are not a first timer on the earth plane. A first time soul in physical form is not likely to be drawn to metaphysical work, as they are spending most of their time just trying to figure out how being human works to question that there has to be more to it than just being born and then dying. I have heard of star seeds who have no past earth lives, and therefore 'borrow' memories from other human adventurers, they do however recall past lives on other planets. Most of us who are here now and reading this have had many earth incarnations. When I first started to explore my past lives, I assumed that I had been here 5 or 6 times before. I had strong memories of past lives from childhood. As I delved into the mysteries of the Universe, I now know that I have had many, many lives on planet earth, as we know her today as well as past civilizations such as Atlantis and Lemuria, and back even further. I am truly older than dirt as my son would like to say.

I understand that Earth is an emotional planet. We chose to come to this planet to experience and learn about emotions. Throughout our many lifetimes we have made decisions based on emotions. We keep coming back and make the same decisions when encountering the same emotion, unless you become conscious enough to change our reactions and decisions when that emotion is experienced again. This is what self growth is, becoming conscious. It is when we can recognize and respond differently to life situations that we change how we feel about that emotion and get of the cycle of repeating the pattern over and over again.

Past Life Regression is one way in which you can open up your memories and see what decision/s have been made in other lifetimes. From this, you will get more insights and more understandings of why you respond the way you do. It is often easier to see what is behind your responses in a past life than try to see into the complexities of your present one.

Why experience past lives?

You may learn something from a past life that can explain how you feel about yourself in this lifetime.

You may learn something from a past life that will help explain a relationship with someone in this lifetime.

You may discover a hidden talent or ability in a past life.

You may gain insights into a medical condition by visiting a past life.

You may discover how to resolve old karma.

You may find an answer to why you have a fear or phobia in this lifetime from a past lifetime.

You may discover the answer to certain dreams you have had or are currently having.

You may us past life information for writing and research.

You may be able to trace someone of the actual lifetimes that your soul has had.

You may go back for fun, without any other specific reason except to have an interesting and positive experience.

Insights from the past can assist you in creating your future.

Symphony of Science - 'We Are All Connected'

this is fantastic...

love and blessings, Sharon

Sharon's Take - December 2009

As with many of you, it is amazing that this is the last month of 2009, the year has gone by so fast for me. I am curious... have many of you found the balance in your physical world with the rest of you?

We still have time to release any thoughts, feelings and energy that no longer serves, it is an ongoing process...remember, Rome wasn't built in a day... be gentle with yourself, others treat us the way we treat and feel about ourselves, as the Angels so often share... See only Love, and start with yourself first...then watch as you begin or continue to see more love in the world.

The photon levels for December are in the 4's and 5's... which should mean that December will be a pretty smooth month for most...oftentimes this time of year brings up stuff we haven't processed through completely yet, with family and holidays and such. This is the time of year we often miss those who have crossed over, or feel alone, or feel overwhelmed with all the blitz and bling of the holidays. I know that I feel all three from time to time... so I try to avoid shopping during the busy times, watch less TV etc. I am conscious at this time of what I surround myself with.

Here is a reading for December....

Transitions and change have been the message for many. Finding the balance between moving forward with a focus and determination as well as ensuring you take time out to take care of yourself. You are the most important project you are working on, and many of us have had to make a conscious effort to take time out to snuggle on the couch with a good book, or meditation time. Finding the balance and harmony is important, when your cup is full...you have more to give and share with others. Take time out for you, if you have to lock the bathroom door and take a bath for some alone time...do it...you are worth it. And at the same time, move forward with your projects, as we are nearing the next year the energy is right to get going, don't procrastinate, over analyze, or stale wondering if now is the time, Action is what will count in the Universe at this time.

Our emotional realm many of us are still focused on the past, judgment of what we did wrong or did not do, not having enough etc. It is time to release and surrender these feelings. Take the time to process through 'that which no longer serves you'. Now is the time to get a handle on all those things that might be blocking you from moving forward, shed what you really don't need and fill the gaps where they're having a leaky impact. Don't avoid tasks anymore, they are actually pleasurable once they are viewed as creative energy flow opportunities, the Universe is telling you to tie up loose ends, so you can move forward in this new energy of passion we are heading into. Now is the time to release to we can move on to that which makes our heart sing, and live in the Truth, Trust and Passion that we know we came here to create.

Our mental realm, our thoughts about ourselves, the Universe and those around us had seen the greatest change for many of us, as this is the realm of the 3D world that overwhelms us the most. It is this realm that has the most influence on what happens next on our journey. Where are you thoughts about what is happening in your life? Are you marching forward with conscious awareness or are you allowing others or thoughts about how things should be or always have been rule your world. We always have a choice about what thoughts stay in our head. If it doesn't feel good or right, discard it and focus on a thought or idea that you want to create. If you find that you are not creating enough of anything, especial financially, look at where you thoughts are about money as well as deep seeded beliefs (from our parents, ourselves and past lives), it is time to release these and move forward. There is a wonderful stream of enough for us all, now is the time to tap into that stream, as well to ensure that you spending wisely, consciously on things that will help you create more of what you truly want.

Spiritually many of us have gone through great changes over the last little while. More and more of the people we meet are asking questions about this spiritual awakening. Many of us have stepped more fully into 'the teacher' as we find that balance in bringing our spiritual self into the physical and have been working on creating a career that allows us to be in truth with our belief system. Trust is often that challenge many of face as we decide to concentrate more fully on making a living at our passion, at being our spirit selves in all that we do. As more people question and awaken, this will open up opportunities for each of us... so pay attention to the signs and opportunities that are before you. Look for the open doors and release the ones that are closed. Move forward with purposeful action and love.

I have some workshops planned for December and January that will assist in Releasing and healing the past (both online conferences and here in Williams Lake), as well as a 6 week workshop in January to assist in bringing our Spirit self more into our physical world. Please check out www.playingwiththeuniverse.com

We are also experiencing our last mercury retrograde for this year... on December 26th to January 15, 2010...so you might want to avoid purchasing any electronics and other mechanical things if you like to save up boxing day sales...ask yourself if you really need it now or can it wait till after the 15th...if no one buys it right after Christmas...they will still be on sale after the 15th. If you really need to buy things during this period, make sure you read the contracts, and buy the extended warranties offered. I look forward to mercury retro's as I am extra conscious of what I spend my time and money on. I like to use this time to look at the projects I am working on and see how they are working...what the challenges are and if I really do want to create them, or if they need to be fine tuned and adjusted.

Have a great month filled with peace, love and joy...we always have a choice...if you find yourself out of balance, take a few minutes and focus on your breath, bring in fresh energy and release the energy that you don't need or want. Meditate, meditate, meditate... 5 minutes a day will make a difference. Spend your energy creating the world you want to create and don't let others hold you back. Embrace the changes as they are opportunities for us to grow and evolve.

Love and blessings, Sharon et el.

Balancing the Four Bodies

We are so much more than just our physical bodies. WE are infinite beings with many levels and aspects of ourselves. One of the greatest challenges we have at this time in humanities evolution is finding that equilibrium with our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves.

When we begin to have balance with each aspect of ourselves, harmony and a state of bliss are realized. I think the greatest hurdle many of us face is balancing our mental bodies. This is the aspect of ourselves that is the home of the Ego. We often have these 2 little beings on each shoulder... one saying...go for it, you can do, and the other says... What makes you think you can do this, you are not worthy... or some such nonsense. Oftentimes these little beings turn into our friends and family... repeating similar thought processes for us to. These are the opportunities we put before us to assist in our growth. When we learn to overcome the unwanted thoughts, we are then more able to keep our thoughts in focus and on what we want to create. The more you practice releasing thoughts and feelings that don't serve your highest good, the easier it gets, until it becomes an automatic response to someone or something that says you can't, you won't or you’re not worthy. When a thought of 'less than' appears before you, acknowledge it with love and release it and replace it with a wanted thought or affirmation. Repeat these like a mantra over and over until you can feel the thought released or transformed. Keep these wanted thoughts and affirmations in your pocket; hang them on the fridge, or in the mirror. You are worthy of everything wonderful that you want to create in your life, or in creating the live you know you came here to experience.

Working with our emotional realm can be a challenge too. Many of us were told to 'don't cry out loud, keep it inside, learn how to hid your feelings' and other such lines that puts a box around our heart space, or a donut hole in the middle to let those feelings move right through you. When we begin to open ourselves up to love and emotion, it is often a challenge to be open to this new crying you. A beautiful resident in a nursing home I worked in who cried a lot, hugged me one day and said..."not all tears are bad tears"... and she gave me this beautiful hug, I could feel her love for all the things around her. This is especially difficult for men to handle, as it is more ingrained in their mental body that emotions are for women or children. We are all emotional beings here to experience Love. Love is the emotional body. The more you open your heart, the beauty and love you see around you. And, the tears do become less, or you become okay with feeling them.

We are all familiar with the physical realm. This one is the easiest for us to see, as we are here having a physical journey. Remember to honour and take care of this body as well, it is the one that allows us to experience the totality of all the other 3 and to expand and evolve our spirit self. Eat well, sleep well, and spend time in nature, with the physical world. This is the best way to bring balance to our beautiful physical temples. Yes, you are beautiful!

Our spiritual realm is often the one that we have the most difficulty believing in, yet we are surrounded by so much validation that we are more than physical beings. It really comes down to Trust. Do you trust your intuitive messages? Most people are given invaluable information when confronted with a challenge; however they don’t trust in the message that comes within their heart. They allow the thoughts of the mental body to come into focus. Do you find yourself saying, “I should have listened to my instinct” or “That was the first impression that I had”. These are messages from our spirit self how is connected at all times to that part of us that is eternal, infinite and not living in the physical realm. When we learn to trust ourselves and check in with our hearts instead of checking in with our heads, most of us would be experience more of what we want to experience while we are walking the path of the human.

I know each of came to the earth plane to experience and grow. Each of these realms gives us the opportunity to expand who we are and the balance of these realms allows the opportunity to walk the path of spirit while in a finite journey. So enjoy the process of opening up and finding balance in the four worlds that create who you are and live your life with truth, trust and passion.

with love, Sharon

Sharon's Take - November 2009

November brings with it some interesting energy. It is about balance and co-operation, and as we near the end of a year of balance, you might find yourself challenged to ensure that you have indeed brought this much needed harmony into your life.

November is the perfect month to work on your mastermind projects, as the photon levels are low throughout the month. This also means that the empaths in the group should be aware that they will feel a collective sleepy, or sad energy as most people retreat when the energy is low. There are less 'thoughts' in the mass consciousness, therefore we as lightworkers can more easily fill those void spots with love, peace and harmony. Take the time to ensure your energy levels are up, consciously set your intent each day, spend time in meditation, asking your entourage to assist you in consciously creating the projects you are working on.

We also have the Energy of 11/11/11 this month, which is also remembrance day for most of the world as we celebrate the ending of the first 'War to End all Wars', and let us remember that this is still our vision and give thanks and remembrance to those who gave up their incarnation so we would find peace, some almost 100 years later are still working on creating that peace. I do believe we are closer to finding that peace as more of us awaken to our interconnectedness with each other and that we need to vigilantly hold those thoughts of love within our hearts and minds. Join with as many people as you can in the name of love. I will be offering a meditation for peace on November 11th, on The Shift Radio and at my sacred space here in Williams Lake. Please check out my home page for more information www.playingwiththeuniverse.com.

Thank you for the wonderful thoughts and wishes for my big move...wow... what a journey...I am still not done, and need to get back to Vancouver soon, as I still have things to do there. I made 3 trips back and forth and still need to make at least one more trip. Having not moved in 21 years, it is amazing what things we accumulate. I was very happy that I had spent the last 2 years getting rid of things, and yet still I am amazed by what I still have. I am still setting up my sanctuary here and getting myself organized, acclimatizing to the change in temperature as well as energy. It is interesting to note that I am sleeping more these days, finding that I am now sleeping about 6 hours at night...sometimes even 8, very unusual for me. I am not sure if it is me adjusting or something new I am doing in my dream time, as I really haven't had much time to explore. I have explored the vortex here and am getting some interesting information that I hope to put together and share soon. Kendall from Australia sent me a wonderful email about sensing a large crystal bed around the lake and I too sense this and am looking forward to sharing more as I tap into it.

On November 17th Florence Ellen of Mystic Dreams in Kamloops and author of Decoding the Parable of Dreams will join my on The Shift Radio again this month to assist us in decoding our dreams. Last months show was wonderful and assisted many listeners in discovering the messages from their dreams. If you have a dream you would like to understand, please join the show or send me an email at sharon@playingwiththeuniveres.com, the program is archived for those how can't listen live. Join us at 7pm pacific/10pm eastern.

Here is a message from the Angels for November:

Angel wisdom suggest that we use our skills and talents for the common good. Eliminate power struggles, conflict and completion, which come from an ego desire to win. Co-operation for the highest good promotes harmony and togetherness and draws the best from everyone.
Make it your aim that everyone has a sense of satisfaction from work done. Then you become a spreader of goodwill and harmony. Your angel guidance is to bring people together and explore how you can mutually assist each other.
Your attitude of sharing will ensure that you benefit in your turn, for the angels will bless your endeavours.


Have a blessed month filled with peace, love and balance. Love Sharon and Bella

Sharon's Take - October 2009

The Angels have shared that October brings about Opportunity, Creativity and Trust. It is a creator energy month and with mercury retrograde over at the end of September and the photon levels in the 6's most of the month, now is the time to cease the energy and create, create, create!

Angel Reading of the month:

"We are all presented with opportunities and expected to flow with the currents that come our way. Something now is being made available to you and it is up to you to use it to your greatest advantage. Be alert, be aware, and be prepared.

Use your creative potential now. Creativity is an energy for adventure and change. It may herald a new idea, inspiration for a book, an artistic vision or a new project. Let your imagination flow. If you do not know how to channel the force, you may feel restless or dispirited.

So ask your Angels to help you direct your creative energy towards something worthwhile to you. Use common sense and discernment and never give your power to another. Instead put your trust in yourself and the higher energies around you.

So, you are reminded to persevere, for it may be that a door which was previously closed has now been opened. Quiet your mind, your Angel guidance is to increase your trust in the infinite and use your power with joy and wisdom.

Affirmation: "I have trust in the support of the Universe and all that is."

As many of you know I am moving up to Williams Lake this month. I have a wonderful home in town that is waiting for Bella and I. I am very much looking forward to using all the tools and techniques I have learned over the past 20 years - since my last move. I am looking forward to being in the country and away from all of the energy that is around the city at this moment. Living next to Olympic Village has been an interesting experiencing in working with energy over the past year as they are preparing the site. I am looking forward to connecting with new friends and old friends & learning to warm myself during the winter.

I have a couple of special programs coming up in October.

October 24th 1100pm eastern/8pm pacific - Decoding the Parable of your Dreams

Join Sharon and her guest, Florence Ellen, author of Decoding the Parable of your Dreams, Let it Flow & owner of Mystic Dreams, as we take calls and questions from the chat about better understanding and using your dream time.

October 31st 11pm eastern/8pm Pacific - All Hallows Eve Special - An Adventure into the Parapsychic World

Join Sharon and her guest Theresa F. Koch author, photographer, freelance writer. Theresa has a Masters in Parapsychic Science and will share many of her ghostly experiences and information with working and contacting entities, as well as share some of their personal paranormal experiences.

Stay tuned to our Calendar page for Sharon's show schedule as she is moving in October and will be without internet for some time (hopefully not long) and she will add her shows as she connects once again with the world from the Great White North.

Enjoy the adventures of the month and each moment in your life...love and blessings, Sharon

Celebrating the balance of the Equinox

Enjoy the energies of the fall equinox in the northern hemisphere...happy spring to our southern sisters and brothers. This is the day of balance in light and dark on planet earth. Celebrate the balance in your life and seek to find more if this is missing. Take time to nourish your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual selves.

I have just returned from the Wise Woman's Festival in the Okanagan. It was a wonderful gathering of love, friendship and healing. I so enjoyed sharing workshops and morning meditation with everyone as well as spending time with so many wonderful lights that I see at the festivals. We had a lot of newcomers, always a wonderful sign of these shifting times. The depth of the questions asked during my workshops amazed me. It shows how accelerated learning and absorbing ideas has shifted. I love gatherings of spirit and I encourage others to join in and spend time in gatherings of like minded evolving open and loving beings. It truly nourishes the soul.

I spend some time up in Williams Lake before the festival, making plans for the big move next month. Even though I grew up there, I have been in Vancouver for over 27 years...more time than I spent in Williams Lake. It will be an interesting transition. I am looking forward to setting up my home using the principles of feng shui and the tools of clearing etc. Setting up my healing room with colours and energy from scratch as the room is currently unfinished. I met the people who are moving on from my new home. I could feel the love they had put into it and the gentlemen took me around and showed me so of the things that will make my life easier, he was so sweet and cute, sharing with me, I just loved that I had the opportunity to feel the energy and love of those who have been there before me. They are moving farther up north so he is leaving me many of his plants from his garden. I shared with him that I was going to put a farrie garden under the trees and his eyes lite up and he said..that is what I was starting to work on when we decided to move... how cool is that!

Anyway, enjoy the beautiful energy of this day balance.

love and blessings, Sharon
