Oh These Shifting Times - Can you say Phew

Can you say Phew!  This week we had a geomagnetic storm, 2 X Class Flares and and an M Class Flare and it is only Wednesday...we are in a mercury retrograde, it is a full moon on Thursday and then Friday the 13th. WE do live in interesting times. 

If you have been finding this just a little more than you would like to handle right now try harnessing this energy and using it to help you create with focus and dedication, instead of running about like a chicken with  your head cut off like most people seem to do when this much energy is bombarding the earth plane. The 3D world just doesn't know how to stop and cope with it in general and so this is another way that you as the vanguards, the way-showers of this new age are so important as you are the ones who are learning how to work in these higher planes of energy that are becoming the new normal. 

I just love this little piece of humour and occasionally when I find a rock somewhere I thing of this and am always grateful when I find the sanity... or the rock lol, either way. 

Symptoms that I have noticed over the past few weeks with such dramatic shifts in the energy are that my allergies, especially outside ones are worse than normal. Every time I mow the lawn I wake up looking kind of like this guy with a bit more swelling lol. I have also noticed my skin is really dry and extra rashes.  A few spots where I have scratched myself till I bled and even bruised underneath it. I have been working on making some natural remedies and will keep you posted. Also sleep patterns have been really strange. Some nights sleeping only 2 hours and others 6 which for me is a lot. This morning I remember being somewhere really funny where I laughed a lot during my dream time, which is kind of cool. Must find the time to go back there. 

Now, through exercises in the workshop I am currently teaching as well as some of the ones I have shared on the show I have been working on expanding consciousness and therefore have noticed shifts in my perceptions and awareness. I am having clearer visions and insights on who is calling and what is happening on an increasing basis and it has been a wonderful experience. One of the things that is so important to learn is that 

WE MUST NOT TAKE THE THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OTHERS HOLD FOR US PERSONALLY! 

This is not always an easy task, but no matter what, don't take on other peoples stuff and when you do that, you are giving away your power and allowing their thoughts and feelings to colour your reality. 

I was recently in the company of a family member who was thinking some very judgemental thoughts and observations and while they were probably not untrue, they were her personal judgements and feelings. Instead of accept them however I choose to send love as I really don't care what you think, I will love you anyway and that I am so thrilled that I have evolved beyond seeing just the physical and see the essence of what is truly real. I choose to not take on the energy of what others think and feel and project to others the energy of my heart, my generosity, and my kindness. 

I am sure at times my guardian angels have looked like this and perhaps has a drinking problem, and obviously a sense of humour to have agreed to partner up with me. Keeping a sense of humour is one of the most important qualities and virtues we can develop to help us during these shifting times and so I encourage you to find something that makes you laugh out loud, even if just for a few minutes, it will help you immensely! 

http://mentalhealthforparents.com/do-not-drink-anything-while-reading/

And so, carry on and remember to use your shields and your filters at this time to assist you in all that is unfolding. We are getting there, even if it is a bit slow for some us, it is truly all perfect and is exactly as it should be.

Sharon's Take June Continued

We certainly started June with a big bang of energy. Mercury Retrograde seemed to effect us over a week early and an M-Class Flare to just through in enough extra energy to drive us a wee bit mad...

So, phew at least their is a bit of break that goes with this and a few days off energetically speaking however expect to prepare to move forward during this cooling off period. Be an active participant so that you are continuing to move forward regardless!!! and the energy coming is perfect for that surge forward and the opportunities it brings with it. And then today we had a huge storm, which I sensed coming yesterday so I am glad that I was away from it all relaxing in the valley where my Mom lives. She has no internet and the phone wasn't working, the TV was so I did get enjoy an awesome hockey game. 

It was also remarkable to watch the deer and I spent a bit of time sitting on the deck watching the interesting behaviour. There were two actually fighting with the fence between them which is not something normally seen as well the one that seemed to win looked bigger, sleeker and with a beautiful coat. He stopped and seemed to stare at me for a long time and then when he was done I clearly got this message that he was feeling kind of cocky and knew he was the king of the hill.

I also got treated to some nesting blue birds and strange wasp behaviour which seemed to continue with a hornet asking strange when I came home. It was like they weren't sure what they were supposed to be doing and then a couple of them just up and died. I did set a few free from the inside which is big for me since I am so allergic to them, and yet still found more dead. I did wonder if perhaps someone sprayed a chemical in the area, I hope not, but perhaps.

Remember that regardless how clear you think you are during a mercury retrograde especially, people don't always hear what you say.

Enjoy this month ahead, laugh at life as much as you can and be sure to choose your words and your thoughts carefully, they are indeed very powerful.

love and blessings, Sharon

Sharon's Take May There be Hope for June 2014 ~ Mastering Life Changes

Sharon's Take for June ~ Mastering Life Changes

Since it is already passed the middle of May, it seemed a bit much to do a Sharon's Take for May since May is well on it's way!  Yet every time I sat down to write, life would somehow get in the way and that seems to be the energy for May anyway. Lots of completions and some rearing their ugliest heads, and lots of new beginnings or at least opportunities for them should we choose to accept the mission. Soldier on brave ones as we finish off this month of tests and trials and succeed in wondrous ways as we move on to mastering the changes this next few months brings our way.

We have actually had a break so to speak in the area of geomagnetic storms and solar flares although I have seen someone sharing an x flare that didn't show up on the charts. The scales have been active but quiet for almost a week and that has been a long time in coming, since October of last year. We have become so accustomed to this new normal that it almost feels like a void time and yet a year ago we would have found this energy a bit much and wanted a break. Interesting how times change and we adjust to the new normal that is constantly seeking to balance itself. 

I am finding that when I seek out to feel the energy of the day that it feels crisper and finer if that makes any sense. It is like there is something new that wasn't there before that is available for any one to feel and use to regenerate and rejuvenate. The more of us who tap into this energy, the faster we will begin to manifest our intentions. Should make for some interesting times ahead as we learn to use it and to help each other along the way. 

June brings us our 2nd Mercury Retrograde of the year so you have some time to prepare, although doesn't it kind of feel like we have been living one all year long? 

Mercury Retrograde is June 7th to July 2nd, so get ready and start your new projects now. Mercury is the perfect tool to help you see what the challenges in your projects are as they will surface if there is something to surface. An excellent tool for evaluation, enjoy its gifts and use the limitations to help you think outside the box.

Remember to choose your words wisely and make sure you are coming from your heart during this shift and you will be covered. Also take care in signing any contracts as you should always be anyway. Don't stop your life, just proceed with caution.

June feels like a mixed bag of energy, some good, some fantastic from the higher perspective of spirit, although that often means it might not be too much fun for some of the humans going through the trials and tribulations of their lives. This is a time when stuff is coming up to the surface and must be dealt with, whatever your challenge might be and so decide that you are going to do the work you have been putting off during this phase so that you can be ready for a big window of opportunity that is coming up in August. Do that review and get yourself on a path or a plan and stick to it, this will help you in so many ways, we can't encourage you enough to take that plunge and catch the wave.

How can you master all of these life changes that are happening? A good connection to source is always helpful as is utilizing the Law of Acceptance and knowing that while it is what it is, it is also mutable and malleable and subject to change just as you are. For many life is changing in some pretty big ways and that isn't always comfortable or fun at that moment. You can always just decide that it feels better to have fun with it, and find some aspect you can laugh at as you have to go through it anyway and keep charging ahead so that the light at the end of the tunnel gets closer faster until all of a sudden you are done and back in the light.

Here is some more exciting news I am pleased to share: The Movie Tuned-In the sequel Tuning In Now is getting ready for production and seeking some investors, check it out, I have been asked by David Thomas the Director to be in this documentary, so I am greatly honoured and looking forward to its unfolding. In his Last movie the investors doubled their investment and as more people are awakening there is great potential in further development. If you are interested in finding out more or pre-ordering a movie, check it out for the perks and incentives  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/tuning-in-now

Sharon's Take November 2012 ~ Relax, Recycle, Recharge

This month we are going to talk about a few "R's", and returning to balance. It has been a tumultuous time for us North America with an earthquake (I did feel the earth move and share that later) on the west and a hurricane on the east. A time of cleansing and reviewing what is really important to us (us as whole, we the people).

 

 

Mercury goes retrograde on the 6th (ending on the 26th), so you have a few days to get ready. This means that we will be entering the holiday season in a far different mode than normal. Where I am, winter has already started, with snow and cold temperatures, so I am feeling the desire to hibernate right now anyway. Set your intent to enter this period knowing you are going to just go about your business slowly and methodically and that you are not going to get caught up in any frenzy of other's creation.

 

 

Perfect time to do a life review and see what is going on. If you are unsure what to do or where to start, I am going to offer a 3 week online workshop to help you along your way. (This will also help to keep your focus while trying to re-balance yourself). The workshop will be Wednesday evenings from November 7th to 21st. When mercury rights itself again, you will be in the perfect energy for this momentous time. Clearing up the old as fast as you can has been in almost every private session over the past few months and I personally am feeling that sense quickening within myself and seem to be getting more done when I keep myself focused.

 

 

For more information on joining the online workshop, click on my home page or send me an email. Charge is by donation, however you must be registered. It will start at 5pm pacific/8pm eastern. If there is a desire for this workshop during the weekend, for those in Europe or Australia, I can arrange something. sharon@playingwiththeuniverse.com

 

 

So, for November, just keep charging along at a nice even pace and work on the things you know in your heart you truly need to work on. Do it now, as the rewards will be plenty and even like you will be starting to live a new life from an entirely new perspective. Trust that the money, the love, the support and the healing will be there for you now and just keep going.

 

 

A life review will do everyone wonders and I will be doing mine along with the group. It is so important for us to master our thoughts, let go of unfulfilled expectations of from the past. and move forward, focused each on our own journey and wearing blinders for all others. This does not me to ignore everyone and everything. It means to lend a heart, a hand, and a hug, but let each person do their own work as that is how it must be. If someone tells you they can magically do that for you and you don't need to do anything, I would question how long this would last if you had any result at all. There must be some kind of shift that takes place in the mind and heart of the one doing the journey.

 

 

I personally must let go of a significant part of myself. Since my workplace injury 2+ years ago, I must let go of the image of 'Sharon the Nurse' as realistically I cannot return to patient care. It is funny as a few years during a review I said, "If I am to work in the 'regular' world as well as the metaphysical world, then I am happy to do this work until I retire, as it is very rewarding and I get to help a lot people cross over and love them and be a part of their life" and now I must let that go (how does that old joke go...How do you make God laugh?....  Tell him your plans!) So, as I am heading into the new year with choices and decisions I did not expect to make at this point in my life, and still not entirely sure where I wish to go from here.

 

Mastering our thoughts is the best gift we can give ourselves, so take this time to really consciously choose what thoughts you want keep. Remember these are the thoughts that form your belief system and also, by the law of attraction, what you get back. Take a deep breath, and release any thoughts you don't want and then choose a replacement and create an affirmation for it to help you through the transformation. Don't get carried away or carried off by any distractions that come your way as there will be a few and the temptation to procrastinate or pretend you are busy doing something else you deem important while be strong. HOWEVER, the rewards for getting it down now will be even greater, so dive right in and keep focused and keep courage and hope in your heart regardless what is going on around you. This is the time to clear away the old as you are moving into a new world and a new time and a new space with a new you.

 

Remember the key: Meditate, mediate, meditate, oh yes, and trust. Trust that you will do well, even better than you could have possibly imagined. Form some mastermind groups right now to start working on what you wish to create and those who will help energize your goals with you. Together you are stronger. Use this energy as a respite and refocus for yourself and what is truly important for the coming time ahead.

I am ever so thankful to those of you who have clicked on the links as that is how I get paid and am happy to say I got my first cheque this week so can officially say I am a professional writer! (she laughs out loud). It is actually an awesome feeling and it seems I never struggle for something write and look forward to meeting the dead lines each month.

 

I also have an article in the Sedona Journal of Emergence for November, in the online version special expanded edition. I am also so honoured when they choose to share my work and look forward each month to checking the mail to see if I am in the next issue. It is funny, as I seem to get my book royalties cheque the same day as the Sedona Journal, and each month it has been on a different day. So, you can know I look forward to that day. Makes it fun to check the mail and see what is coming.

 

Feeling the earth move during the earth quake was very interesting for me, as I have been few a few shake, rattles, and rolls. This one was so most definitely different and it also seems to me that the world have been different, like the shift of the earth caused me to shift into another dimension that I am still trying to get acclimatized to. Here is what I wrote that evening after the earth moved. (I actually grabbed on to my couch during this for stability):

 

I live in British Columbia, a bit south east of this quake 669km away at 52.13°N 122.14°W the quake of 7.7 at Haida Gwaii last night was at 52.769°N 131.927°W depth=17.5km (10.9mi)

I was sitting on my couch and was looking across at one of my cats when we shifted. I have been through other quakes in Vancouver where we shock and you knew it. This was different. It was like we were shifting dimensions.. it felt like this wave went through us in slow motion and it seemed like I saw 3 layers of us, I grabbed the couch as I thought I was sliding and it seemed to last a long time relative to past experiences. when we settled, my hanging lights were swinging, the bells I have hanging around were ringing, the blinds where waving, they did not settle for about 3 minutes. I said...what was that...my first thought was we had an earth quake, and then, since it was raining and I live on the side of a mountain, perhaps a slide. All I really knew for sure was something happened. So, I thought I would check on line and sure enough there was a big quake nearby. As far as we have heard, there was some damage, no one was hurt... bonus.. mother earth is just shifting and showing us that we can and are a support for each other when we gather for a common purpose, anyway, it was such a surreal experience, I thought I would share. Haida Gwaii (the name that the Queen Charlotte Islands are known by here) has had 7 aftershocks. It was interesting to listen to the news reports as the experts said this was not usual quake in that it is shifted vertically instead of the usual horizontally, lessening the usual types of destruction and damage, and that it was it in a sparsely populated area... it made for an interesting evening and I learned a bit more about earth shakes... here is the site I found the information on the fastest ... http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/dyfi/

 

I am looking foward to what this month brings as it is going to be paramount for what lies ahead. I am looking foward to the new adjustments since my world shifted and hope you do as well.

 

Remember to enjoy yourself in the moment, whatever the task may be, find your balance, find your center and spend this month getting to know yourself and the new you that is emerging.

 

Love Sharon, Bella, Pepe Big Paws and Katie the loving baby

Sharon's Take - Golden Opportunities October 2012

Sharon's Take - Golden Opportunitites Oct 2012

 

Important doors are opening for you right now. Prepare to walk through them. Start right now creating doors and bridges for the month ahead. We are sliding into the last quarter of the year and mercury retrograde next month, so make this a month of action and fast paced activities while keeping your footing and your balance. It should feel a little less manic that it did last month, however that also depends on whether you have been doing your work. If you have been sloughing off waiting for things to change first, you might be feeling like you on one of those logs in the water, spinning around while you are dancing as fast as you can. The choice truly is entirely yours.

 

Let your heart follow a new path, or let it lead the way to what you choose to do next. It is really important to make a clear decision if you want to move forward. What inspires you and feeds your heart and soul? This is the first question you should be asking yourself as you prepare for the months ahead. The more clearly you go into the new year, the more clearly and delightfully will be the creations that you make. Remember moderation, or the middle way, as it is really the fastest way to what you seek. There will many temptations and distractions as you move ahead, and a little time away will be helpful, however, keep in perspective at all times. This is the challenge of the current energy and of course there is always the lack of faith. Keep your trust and believe!  Remember the little red engine that could. You can and the more you make that your new paradigm, the more you will enjoy yourself.

 

The best gift we can give ourselves right now is to ensure our physical world is in order so we feel we have a strong footing in which to move forward. Learning to keep that in balance is very much a part of having a physical journey and often as lightworkers and human angels we forget how important it is to take care of ourselves first. This is paramount right now for each of us who is so used to working and being in the higher realms. A good meditation practice (this means everyday) will do much to help you keep on track and focused. Ensure you are eating food filled with life force energy and cleanse and detoxify so you can move into the next phase clear and ready on all levels. Dance, walk or do some form of physical activity as that is very much a part of the physical journey. Find something that works for you and that you enjoy and make sure you continue it regularly as you move into the new year. (my guides reall anunciated that one lol)

 

It is important for each one of us to know that we are safe and protected to move forward, to trust that regardless, you will be fine so that you have the strength and courage to move ahead. This is when a good, solid meditation practice and relationship with your higher self, guides and angels will help you. There will change happening at a fast pace and the more you trust in yourself and your intuition the better you find the coming year. Resistance is futile and leads to lessons you don't need to learn that way as does lack of action. It is time to state clearly your choices and follow your heart. Do any heart healing that you need to do and know it is one of the most important parts of yourself to heal and open. It is the part of you that is connected to giving and receiving and finding the balance within.

 

Follow your dreams and get your mindset focused on your path, your heart and doing it in a balanced and loving way. We are moving into a higher dimensional energy and in order to find that path with grace we need to temper all of our actions through our high heart. In order to do that it is best to ensure your motives are pure and for your highest good. Clearly set boundries for yourself of what is acceptable and what is not, what is yours and what is someone elses responsibility. It is always good to be service, however it is important to be in service where you want to be instead of where someone else thinks you should be. We are all an important and intricate part of creation and each one of us is just as important as the other. The faster we realise this and support each other and ourselves as such, the faster we will be creating enough love and acceptance to move forward into our next evolution. Let us each remember that better and less are not a part of new thoughts, in order to see the changes we desire, we each must keep our ego balanced and supporting us through love and understanding of higher dimensional laws and that we are stronger when we help each other and foster growth than we are only trying to help ourselves become number one. The more we support and help each other, the more we support and help ourselves reach the awards, love and support we would like to also have.

 

Seek joy always as the base motivation in all that you do. If you are doing a completion that isn't really fun and you struggle to find the joy in it, then focus upon of the joy that you will feel once it is done and over with for the balance that seek will be unattainable until then. Let there be no doubt that you must restore balance in order to move ahead in a way that you desire. No more sweeping things under the rug until later for the procrastinators as you spirit and soul want to move forward. This is the time to prepare for the mastery year that is coming ahead. Work on your relationship with your higher self and this will, change all of your relationships with others to be of co-operation, love and support. There is enough for all of us and everyone, this is the unity consciousness that we are seeking for the evolution of our planet and people.

 

There will be many opportunities for us to practice what we preach in the coming times, so this is the time for each of us to strive for the mastery of the self. We cannot solve the 'problems' of the world until we find that balance within ourselves. The self first, is the pathway to the all. Remember not to take things personally as each one of us is seeing the world from a different vantage point. It is when we can respect and love each one for who they are and acknowledge the tremendous courage it takes for any of us to just get up each day and do it again, especially those who are currently in transition and the dark. Ask that you be filled with the love and compassion of the goddess Quan Yin and Mother Theresa to overlight you as you grow and you will glow with a golden light like never before.

 

There used to be a television show in Canada called "The little vampire' and it was about this other world that existed with ghosts, vampires, witches and more, that also had human friends, since they where already in costume, when the regular world celebrated halloween, they would have a party and it was called "All is Forgiven" day. It meant that everyone got together regardless as to what transpired over the year and forgave one another and started a new on Novermber 1st. I have always loved that concept and think it should become the new meaning of All Hallows eve and All Saints day in the new world. What do you Think?

 

Love and blessings, Sharon and her family of lights

Sharon's Take September 2012 ~ Building Momentum

Building Momentum with Sharon Taphorn

Certainly seems to be a quickening of the energy on the planet of late. I have also noticed that people are complaining about their computers so I decided to check to see if when the next Mercury Retrograde is and it starts in November (Nov 6th-26th), so start thinking about the things you want to finish and then start the new ones before that date. I often hear people groan when I mention mercury retrograde, however there are many gifts in this time of slowing down and rethinking things, recycle, redo, rebound... try however not to react in a way that puts more blocks on your path. Slow down and enjoy the process as it unfolds and know it is the perfect time to see how things are really going for you.  Since we are entering a new season (fall or spring depending on what half of the world you are in), it is always a great time to do a review anyway.

 

As we get closer to the 12-12-12 energy, those who have been finishing things up will be feeling much more positive and seem like their lives are really working. Those who haven't will most likely not be having the best of times. So, lets get going and get things moving. This time right now is about creating the life you know you are supposed to be living and all the wonderful things of your dreams are happening for you. The most important thing to keep in mind is the belief in yourself and trust, trusting that you are worthy and deserving (as is everyone) for all that you receive. Be open to opportunities and remember that things are not always as they seem when you are walking through them. Take the time to be alone and meditate, talk with your entourage of light beings who want nothing more than to see you create that which you desire. If you do not have a daily practice of connecting with your higher self and the beings of light who are a part of you, now is the time to start. You will be thankful you did. It really does make the world a better place and you feel so much more secure and confident in yourself and the choices you make. Remember, you can go through the forest with anticipation and excitement for what is unfolding, or you can choose fear and worry about is lurking in the trees. The choice is entirely yours. Love and the knowledge that you are safe and all things are as they should be are always the best option.

 

Overall, the heart wants what the heart wants, so, take the time to nurture yourself and be clear that you are coming from that heart space and not the ego of the heart. By this I mean to be sure that you are not adding in the mental energy to your love energy. Don't over think or over analyze your relationships or choices, or past choices. Enjoy them and nurture them for what they are. Let each one evolve as it should without extra pressure of expectations and conditions. Truly experience the unconditional love that you give and receive or would like to. Find the middle ground between exhilaration and harmony, between the mental energy and your emotional energy. Love is a grand energy and it is so very easy to be swept up in the arms of passion and desire and forget about the importance of finding the balance that you seek.

 

All of your relationships are important. The most important one and the one that leads the way for all the other relationships in your life is the one you have with yourself and your higher self. You are an aspect of your higher self. Your higher self wants you to have a magnificant journey. And, you are having one, even if you don't feel like it. When we are not in time and space, in a 3D world, we don't see things as good or bad, wanted or unwanted, and from the other side it is all beautiful and good. "Filled with beautiful contrast' as Abraham would say (Abraham-Hicks). When we start to see the world from the vantage point of this broader perspective, then we are merging with our higher selves. This is the best time to start working with your higher self.

The more you become one with your higher self, your relationships change. You will feel a deeper, healthier, more accepting love for those who are in your life. This is a part of the spiritual path that makes things become even more beautiful as you are understanding and living in unconditional love. That is the energy of  the 5D.

Release the past, release the past, release the past. We all really need to do this. If you say, 'I've done that already" and something comes to mind (I had a flash of a vision when I typed it, however since I am writing, I shut it down, and will have to go back at the end, as obviously I have something I need to release right now.), you are not done with it yet. I presume when we are done with the stuff we need to release, when we say that, nothing will come to mind, and we will feel a lovely, peaceful feeling. I will gleefully let you all know when I get there. Anyway, there is change always happening, (that is a good thing) and so lets decide to consciously choose the changes instead of just dealing with whatever is coming our way.

This is the perfect time to either change jobs, careers, passions, hobbies, or at the very least, how you feel about how you are making a living or are spending your time. If it is out of balance with who you are, chances are you want a change. So, again, see the gift that it has given you, so you are starting the next cycle with a clean slate. Follow your heart, trust that it will happen and be in your truth with love. Sounds simple, isn't always easy at first and so use the tools available to keep your focus and your thoughts clear and on wanted things. Remember times of great success, joy and or laughter to help you when you need a bit of extra support. Trust that you are worthy, deserving and that it will happen, if  not tomorrow, then the next, or the next. Believe. I look at this picture every time I feel I need a little support and repeat all the affirmations. Print it off, hang it up where you can see it. Spend some leisure time reading books that support your growth and give you inspiration like ANGEL GUIDANCE: Messages of Love and Healing (Cheesy plea for support and love from Sharon). I read my book over and over when I really need to, it does help and I have also received wonderful emails from people who have said the same thing and that is exactly why we do the angel messages and the book.

You are stronger than you think. Trust in that. I remember when I was standing at the door looking through the window as the arrest team was resuscitating my almost 3 year old son, that everything seemed surreal and I couldn't remember even hearing sound and I heard a voice say, 'Remember, god won't give you more than you can handle,' (this was something my mother always said), and I said, "well, I can't handle my son leaving so don't give me that.", and then I just kept repeating, this is going to be fine, this is going to be fine, until they started to slow down in the room and the doctor came out to talk to me. (they took my son to the OR and all turned out okay in the end of a long adventure). Anyway, when I reflect upon that time, I was stronger than I ever I thought I could be. I held on to that thought many times throughout his teen aged years and now just trust and love him anyway, regardless, it is all we can really do with those we love, those we don't and those we have yet to met. It really is about the inner journey, the stuff on the outside is just our thoughts and our feelings playing out in 3D.

Trust that you are making wise and love filled choices for yourself and you are making steady progress and seeing the desired results that you seek.

Enjoy your month, smile, and charge ahead. Love and Blessings, Sharon

Assignment Human Angel ~ To Everything there is a Season

Your mission…

Should you choose to Remember is…

As you begin a new cycle, which you frequently do, remember that new adventures signal a completion and therefore new growth, new opportunities and more. Welcome in the new and celebrate that which you have completed. Job well done and now it is time to move on!

We are always experiencing cycles, even if you have never really paid attention or gave it much thought. We are starting the 2nd half or 3rd quarter of the year. We are all in that cycle. Those of you born this month are in a new year, therefore entering a new cycle. Those of you born this month should be used to the change that cycles brings since we are a 7 - the number of transition, July babies should at the very least used to change, if not crave it. I am a July baby and would move my furniture once a week if it worked in other ways, I therefore use blankets and pillows on the furniture in different colours and themes to shake things up (and to keep the cat hair to a minimum lol).

It is natural for things to transitions as that is what happens when we are on an evolving planet in time and space. It is in resisting this natural flow that we create obstacles and drama's for ourselves. To everything there is a season. Keep this in mind as you contemplate a life review of where you have been, what needs to be let go and what you want to keep working on. We are nearing a mercury retrograde (which cycles through about 3 times a year) and that is the perfect time to take things a bit slower and look at how things are progressing with you hopes, dreams and desires. Also consider where you are in your year and how that works with where things are at. This helps you to see the growth you are actually making. The first time I took stock of my life I was actually astounded by what I had accomplished thus far with many pitfalls and hurdles along the way. That is when I began to see the gift and then look for it in other seeming adverse situations I find myself in. Take the time over the next few weeks to do a review. Keep a journal as these are great markers for yourself (as well as perhaps another great book), and make sure to date it. It is like writing in your book of life. Also journaling can help to open up your communication with your guides, angels and ancestors, as you are usually in an alpha state when you journal and that is the perfect mindset for communication. Do not judge yourself, love yourself through the process. We are all works in progress, or we would be done with the earth experience and go home.

Remember to be gentle with yourself. Make this a special time to look at your cycles and see which ones you are nearing completion and get ready to finish them off. Take the time to review and you will enter the next stage with much more focus and clarity, therefore creating what you desire easier, faster, and grander than you did before.

Love and infinite light, Sharon

To Everything There is a Season

To everything there is a season
A time for every purpose under Heaven

A time to be born
and a time to die
A time to plant
and a time to pluck what is planted

A time to kill
and a time to heal
A time to break down
and a time to build up

A time to cast away stones
and a time to gather stones
A time to embrace
and a time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain
and a time to lose
A time to keep
and a time to cast away

A time to tear
and a time to sew
A time to keep silence
and a time to speak

A time of love
and a time of hate
A time of war
and a time of peace

The lyrics are taken almost verbatim from the Book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the King James Version (1611) of the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3:1), though the sequence of the words was rearranged for the song. Ecclesiastes is traditionally ascribed to King Solomon *Wikipedia*

Sharon's Take July 2012 ~ The Inspired Warrior

As you seek to find balance over the next month, keep in mind that this balance brings with it opportunities to be in your truth and be who you are and also be in your passions. Own your power and know that it is safe for you to be powerful with love and compassion all at the same time. If you don't have a regular spiritual practice, begin it today, there is no time like the present. Keep your focus and don't let others distract you from your mission, the changes and creations you desire are very close indeed. Release the past. Release any regrets, any sadness, any anything that might be a block. See it's gift and move on for yourself and your own wellbeing. This action alone will create great waves of movement allowing the new energy that you so want to enter. The more trust you have to be guided, the more joy you will expereince as you life transitions over the next month.

Sometimes change doesn't always bring feelings of confidence, however as you begin to trust that you are supported and change only signals growth and new opportunities, you will soon know that much better things lie upon the road ahead. Trust that you have or will be divinely given the tools you need to move foward. Take a good look at what each path offers you at this time and what it brings to your life, and when you have weighted all the pros and cons, choose confidently and know that you have made your choices honourably and throughly and expect the best possible outcome for yourself. Enjoy the journey of discovery that you are on, and know that these changes are bringing you closer to your dreams and desires. If you should find doubt and other lower energies, immediatly transform them. Try to avoid the people in your life who don't feel like they are presently supporting you in your changes and trust that the right people who are supportive will come your way. Make no judgements about these situations, just bless them and move on.

Declutter your thoughts at this time, and do some mental housekeeping. Look at what thoughts you might be hanging onto that no longer fit who you have become. It is time for the world to see you in the light of truth and for you to stand fully in your power as the empowered lightworker that you. Don't take on responsibilities that you do not feel passionate about. While you might be good at many things, it serves your growth and the growth of others for you to set limits for yourself and to let them do their own journey, even if they don't fully appreciate your motives at this time. You have been shedding a lot of late and you may find you feel better when you are eating healthful, alive foods filled with life force energy and drink plenty of water. Make a committement to yourself to keep your meditation practice each day and spend time out of doors. This will help you in many ways and on all levels and it is what you deserve for yourself.

Take a much needed vacation. If you can't afford to physically get away from it all, take some time to explore where you are for a few days, go to the lake, the park or wherever you can get away from the phone, computer, and work. Make a point of giving yourself the gift of time out. It will do wonders to not only bring harmony and balance back to your life, it will help those around you. You are a far better world server when you are refreshed and rejuvinated. Do not let percieved stress and anxiety stand in your way. Do not let the thoughts and actions of others to knock you off balance as you are strong and have all the talents and skills you need to help you along the way. Trust in yourself and your ability to discern for yourself what feels right and what feels less than and release any thoughts of lower will.

This is an amazing time in your unfolding journey. Celebrate the changes and enjoy the evolutions that are before you. Support and love each other and let others know they are not alone. Reach out and touch the heart of someone you love and also someone you do not know, and if you are feeling particularly adventurous, someone you feel thoughts that are less than love for and transform them for your self. Keep preparing yourself for the shifts of transformation you are on and ride that wave!

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.
