The divine feminine, that essence within our consciousness which was sleeping for so long is now reawakening and becoming increasingly more aware.
But What is the Divine Feminine exactly?
Is she a person? Is she even a she? Is this something only women experience? Does this represent a new religion? Is it the revival of goddess worship?
Do any of her proponents truly know or is this just something that angry and/or confused women find themselves gravitating towards?
Even my opening line which references the divine feminine as an essence of our consciousness draws a complete blank for some while it perfectly resonates with others.
In this post, I will try to channel more clarity. However for what it is worth, the Divine Feminine resides in all of us - men and women but for some of us it is highly dormant while in others 'she' is fully functional. Please note that even as I say 'she', I do not really mean this essence is a woman...it is an essence. Let's go further!
The Divine Feminine in Collective Consciousness
We each have an individual consciousness which is to say we each have our perceptions of reality and an awareness which governs how we interact with our environment and with others. Collectively therefore, as a town, a nation, a country, a planet - we will all have a general perception of reality and awareness which governs what we deem to be acceptable or normal. However norms and perceptions of what is normal can be different in different geographic locations and so we also have pockets of cultural consciousness. In any society there will always be those that defy their own societal norms and they are thus regarded as outcasts or persons supporting fringe philosophies.
How do we define the divine feminine in collective consciousness? Well consider this, collectively at one time in the West, we were naive and perceived our governments and leaders through rose tinted glasses. We did what they said we should do. They told us go to war and we suited up and killed our human brothers. We defended our country, religion or culture by the way of sword. Compassion for the enemy was the sign of a weakling who himself possibly needed to be eradicated less his diseased mentality affected the whole.
Then that perception fell away.... the rose tinted glass was properly shattered with the putrid stench of scandal in high office which followed government after government and we started to question the things we were asked to do.
So we marched against war and questioned military funding. We started demanding that more funds be spent on nurturing the home - health care, education, social programs we cried needed these monies more.
Love when it evolves, must of a necessity first evolve as self-love but most certainly expands outwards thereafter...after all "love your neighbour even as you love yourself" and so we started to see the children of the enemy as our children. Why are we supporting the funding of warfare and bombings that will totally demolish a village with schools and children? Why are we investing so heavily on prisons instead of spending money on the education system to help nurture young brilliant minds before they turn to a life of crime?
Million Student March Organizer Darletta Scruggs
These are the questions we want answered like Darletta Scruggs from the Million Student March schooling a Fox News anchor in an April 2016 interview. See full article here.
So we became more sensitive...more compassionate...more conscientious and this is how the Divine Feminine manifests - unlocking rooms within our very soul's consciousness to allow us to feel more.
Does this mean that the Divine Masculine a loveless, evil, bigotted essence?
There was once a little tree growing in a sparsely populated forest. The axeman had cut down most of the other trees leaving only their stumps behind and the other young trees that remained were so far away that the little tree felt quite lonely.
Then one day, the little tree spotted a little boy. He was with a little dog and they were both playing with a ball. The little tree enjoyed watching the boy and his dog. It was normally so boring in this part of the woods and the boy and his dog brought the tree much excitement.
Day after day the little boy came along with his dog and day after day the little tree watched the boy from afar. Then something strange started happening. One of the little tree's low branches started growing out ever so slightly, bit by bit every day it grew longer until one day the little boy walked right up to tree, climbed the tree and sat on the low branch which was strong enough to support his weight.
The little tree was quite delighted. Within a few more weeks, another branch, higher up, had grown strong enough so that the boy and his father slung a swing on it which the boy and the tree enjoyed immensely.
But then, one day, the little tree's worst fear manifested for the little boy had to move away. The little boy came and told the tree he had to go and he even cried and hugged the trunk of the tree, wrapping his hands around the tree's slender trunk. The tree did not want the boy to go but the boy, his father and his dog never returned after that day.
The little tree was quite distraught and to make matters even worse, the horrible loggers came along one day and cut off the the tree's two longest, sturdiest branches which the little boy used to sit upon and swing from. The tree heard the loggers speaking amongst themselves. They found it quite strange that the branches from the tree seemed so mature when the tree was still so very young.
The little tree went into a depression.
She pulled all of her remaining branches and wrapped them around her body and drew up all of her roots onto herself. She purposed quite resolutely in her heart to wither up and die.
One night the Moon was out in her glory, shinning full and bright and the tree was sleeping when suddenly she heard a great thundering clap from the skies. Upon awakening the tree could not believe her eyes. She was surrounded by dense foliage and a strange, eerie light from the moon. All the trees that had been cut down, were standing tall around her.

What is the meaning of this? How ever could this be? The older trees have all come back! Was she dreaming?
Then with one voice the other trees spoke.
"Yes Little Tree, you are dreaming. In the morning when you rise, you will still only see our stumps. We chose to visit you in dream time because we have a very important message for you."
"Wh-what message is that?" the little tree asked very timidly.
"Life is a gift which you must cherish and you are not doing a good job of that right now" the Great Spirit of the trees responded.
"Why should I? The loggers with their axes are just going to come and cut me down anyway and it's so lonely here. There is no point to life because there is no one to love!" the little tree replied in a frustrated tone.
"You must first learn to love yourself."
This made the tree pause. She had never considered loving herself before. Just then though she remembered the loggers again.
"Ok - fine! I can love me but what's the sense? As soon as I grow big and strong the loggers are going to come and cut me down. I'll still end up dead - just like you!"
Just then a mighty, rushing wind blew and kicked up all the leaves and branches around the little tree and the apparition of the great old trees completely vanished.
The little tree remained quite still, wondering if maybe the Great Spirit of the trees would speak to her again. She remained there waiting and hoping but when she realised they would not return she began to weep mournfully and fell back to sleep.
The next morning, the tree awoke with the rising of the sun and looked around at all the tree stumps around her. Memories of her dream from the night before came back to her mind and an unspeakable sadness threatened to flood her soul but then a persistent wind started to blow. It blew and blew and blew and many of her few remaining leaves jumped off of her and played merrily with the breeze.

In that moment the little tree heard the voice of the Great Spirit of the trees and it asked her,
"Are we truly dead, little tree?"
Finally the little tree understood. Death is a choice that is presented to you with every day but you don't have to take it and those who choose to live life fully and truly every single day and in every single moment - never, ever really die.
And so the little tree purposed to live and she remembered what the Great Spirit of the trees told her - that she must first learn to love herself.
The little tree looked at her drying branches and knew that she needed to spread her roots to find more nourishment. She also knew that she had to dig deeper to find greater reserves of water and so she did that.
Gently, day by day, the little tree began to unfold her branches, reaching them up into the sky so that her leaves could better absorb the life giving powers of the beautiful rays of sunshine.
It was such an ironic thing, for in living life abundantly she actually made herself more and more vulnerable. For at any moment the axeman could come and see her growing big and strong and decide to cut her down!
Yet, the tree knew that her spirit would go on, and resting securely in this knowledge the fear of the axeman eventually disappeared.

There was another thing too in that the more she practised loving herself, the more she yielded herself to the wonderful experiences of life and in so doing received many opportunities to love. Love made a full circle!
Birds started nestling in her branches and little animals came and found rest and shelter around her.
Even random human families trekking their way through the woods would stop to picnic at the base of her trunk, and several children climbed into her branches.
Someone even found the old swing from the first little boy she loved and re-hung it onto one of her many strong branches.

Oh and she never cried when it was time for her visitors to go. She understood truly, that some like the little boy who she loved so long ago, would only be in her life for just a short while and that some she may only ever meet once. So she aimed to appreciate every moment and every encounter and to trust that the Universe will send more her way in time.
She learnt the art of loving fully in the moment, without attachment.
And yet another miracle was slowly manifesting around the tree. Other little trees that were once afraid to grow, were taking encouragement from her and grew mightily so that the once sparsely wooded area was now a beautiful thriving forest again. The tree soon had many friends all around her.

The tree was happy and her heart was content... but she never forgot the little boy she once loved.
One afternoon, the tree spotted a lovely couple - a man and a woman. There was something familiar about the man even though the tree took a while to understand what it was. The man walked his female companion right up to the tree, and threw his hands around her trunk and laughed heartily when he realised that his arms could no longer encircle the great big tree.

It was the little boy all grown up now! He had never forgotten his favourite tree but was now a conservationist - which is a big word that basically means that he had secured a piece of paper (go figure!) that declared that this region where the tree grew was now protected.
Apparently he had secured this paper several years ago but had only now secured enough of another type of paper to buy a small acre of land quite near to his favourite tree where he intended to raise his family.
The man had a guitar and the woman had a lovely voice and together they would make the most beautiful music beneath the tree to the pure enjoyment and entertainment of the tree.
The tree's heart was so full, it felt like it would burst and yet the tree never forgot the lessons of her ancestors - every time she heard the thunder clap, or saw the leaves playing with the wind or felt a gentle breeze - she remembered her ancestors and she knew that one day she would have to join them but she also knew that she will do so willingly and gladly, without fear.

"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?"
Wow! We had some pretty intense energies over the last few months and 2015 is certainly living up to all of its predicted hype! Energy sensitive individuals and empaths took a beating emotionally, mentally, physically, financially - ok look! We took a beating on all sides and we still are dealing with some turbulences!
However - all in all - there is a general feeling that things are changing for the better.....because they are!
Sometime around August this year, the energies changed and took on a more grounding vibe. In the earlier months there was a surge in creativity and inspiration and many were engulfed with dreams and visions and generally speaking there was a lot of excitement mixed with fear as change was an important theme at that time. It was a season of transformation which I called the cocoon phase. But then August and the last Super Moon of September 28 came and the energies, which felt more masculine in nature, helped us to balance our euphoria with some logical reality checks.
Now, equipped with the vision, yet grounded by a balanced perspective - we have entered the season of wings.
Many empaths, including myself, saw butterflies in our visions and dreams or felt particularly drawn to butterflies and that's because wings were distributed in the spiritual realm which means that it is now our time to fly and our time to work.
There is no question that the butterfly's beauty lies within its wings. They allow the butterfly to fly and are often visually appealing.
Yet there is a lot more to a butterfly than its wings.
Butterflies, fluttering from flower to flower, are doing more than just flying around looking pretty!
They are busy at work, ensuring that one of life's most important processes - that of pollination, takes place.
So yes - it feels awesome to have wings but the mere fact that you have been so endowed means that you have work to do! I can't tell you what your work is...you need to know that for yourself.
To the rest of us, let's flap those wings and get to work!
Ok guys - this one is short! The energies are all over the place this week and I've barely had a chance to catch a breath. Not to mention the amount of things that seem to be happening specifically to get me irritated and upset!
However I had to remind myself to breathe. I had to remind myself to stay calm. I had to shut it all down and go into my quiet place and tap into the Eternal Source of All and find my center and ground.
Then this morning - oh my word - visions and dreams with so many messages and all of them so potent. I'll just divulge one...
LUCID RUNNING DREAM
So there I am running and yes of course someone is behind me. This is very much a recurring dream that I've been having for years. However just last week I programmed myself to have a different response to this dream - different to the one I usually have. I told myself last week that I won't run and that I will face my pursuer.
So here I am running, heart pounding, noise of my pursuer behind me - thoughts of demons and other dreadful things threatening to fill my mind when (and guys THIS IS THE POWER OF THE LEFT BRAIN - this is what you are supposed to use lefty to do!) it comes back to me that I had said that I won't run again.
So I stopped.
Just to give you a bit of my history with lucid dreams - as a person who has been lucid dreaming for most of my life, I have well mastered the art of changing my dreams. A few years ago I decided that I will stop using that control and instead see where the dreams go. Shortly after making this decision I had a dream which to date is the scariest experience of my life and then the scary dreams significantly subsided.
Back to current dream - I stopped and I stopped with awareness!
Based on all my spiritual training and growth, I know that I can face this and that I am the one running the show in my dreams.
I then turned around and willed myself to face my pursuer and what I saw blew my mind away even within my dream.
I saw a being who was perfectly transparent and in my dream I remember thinking "this is a shadow" but yet it was not a shadow as I could see through it. Only a humanoid outline was perceptible.
http://wallpaper222.com
The being then raised it's arm and waved at me and smiled - I sensed the smile because I truly could not discern facial features.
It then ran off along a different path from the path I was on leaving me to watch and wonder in amazement.
Guys - the lessons are tremendous. One lesson that I pulled from this experience was this:
"Many times our fears are nothing more than tools that are being used to help us grow."
Clearly I could see that this being, who probably chased me for most of my life in my dreams, was deliberately chasing me. This "shadow" was actually serving me. Helping me to reach the point where I would summon the courage to turn around and face my fear. Once I did that - it ran off. Why? Because it's job was accomplished!
I know that I personally would not have reached this place without my practice of meditation. We all have shadow issues but the best way to deal with shadow is to turn on the light. The light here could mean many things. It could mean your conscious awareness, or your acceptance, or your ability to love yourself in spite of your flaws.
And here is the really great news - We are the children of the Light! And it's our divine birthright to constantly walk in the knowledge of this light.
Well like I said earlier - this is a short one but there's a lot to chew upon.
There are many people in the spiritually awakening community who would advocate that overcoming the ego is the greatest challenge for one on a path of Self-Realization.
This ideology does have many merits. The ego is the source of separate consciousness which opposes unity consciousness and it is also what drives competition, animosity, feelings of inferiority/superiority and a lot of what are termed to be ills or challenges for the person on a path of enlightenment. However the approach for overcoming the ego can't be to treat it as an enemy you must resist. Anything that you resist, tends to persist and something that many of us need to get is this -
Your ego is a part of you that exists to help you understand yourself!
Simply suppressing the ego and the message it is trying to transmit will only force it to bring the message to you in a more forceful manner later on. This will lead to constant internal conflict, which is not good.
Jane has been having a hard time. She's going through a divorce, trying to handle raising three kids on her own and on top of all that they're rolling out some new software at the office this week. Jane is usually on top of things and in fact, Jane has helped you several times in the past with navigating and using different software packages. You're on this path of awakening and self-realization which is making you more sensitive and so you easily discern Jane's distress even though she is several cubicles away. You head across and give her a much needed hand and she thanks you profusely even as tears threaten to well up in her eyes. In that moment your intuition sharply advises you to try to cheer her up (so that she does not break down there and then in the office) and offer to have lunch with her, should she wish to talk or just share a laugh. Jane readily accepts and your intuition is now telling you to discreetly walk away - But then...you spot the boss rounding the corner towards Jane's cubicle and your ego sees an opportunity to promote itself. Instead of walking away you loudly make an unnecessary comment to Jane that you are here for her any time she needs. The boss overhears and now feels the need to ask if everything is okay. You generously try to mull it over like it's no big deal but somewhere within your polite pretence, it comes out that you were helping Jane with the new software. The boss congratulates you and you feel pretty smug about yourself but unknowingly to you - you just made Jane feel a bit awkward and exposed.
It's no big deal! You still have your lunch date with Jane and you both share some laughs. No foul real right! Maybe - but it does not change the fact that - you did not listen! Forget Jane and her awkwardness for a second because she is on her path as well. Let's focus on you. When your ego challenged you to try to impress the boss, you were supposed to walk back to your seat and then entertain an internal dialogue to discover why you felt you needed your boss' praise. Is this a pattern that needs healing? Do you typically need people to think that you are a good person before you can believe this of yourself? By succumbing to your ego you just missed out on the opportunity to make this self discovery. Here is what you should do the next time your ego raises it's head: 1. Acknowledge the ego - Acknowledge the fact that you are, at the moment, being tempted to feed your ego. 2. Interrogate yourself - What is the lesson to learn? Or what is the area of yourself that needs healing. Does this stem from a past hurt or something in your childhood?

3. Thank your ego - It is doing it's job! 4. Talk to yourself lovingly and begin the healing process - Understand that you may have to confront your ego a few more times depending on how deeply ingrained the issue is within your psyche. Know this - Love is the key to overcoming all our great obstacles which are usually fear based. In this case it's the fear that people don't know how good you are at your job.
So let's re-imagine the scenario.
You heeded your intuition and made a quiet and discreet exit. You then begin exploring a hidden part of yourself and you grow. That's it.
Soon enough as you continue accepting and healing yourself, you would realise that you don't need to seek out adulation. It flows to you naturally as a response from the universe to the new signal you are now transmitting! For more reading on how to view your ego in a new and powerful way, check out this article from Howard Falco entitled A Powerful New Way to Understand Your Ego . I like how Falco offers that your ego is really just a powerful automated process working from a script of your personal beliefs. He also submits that you just need to understand it and then you can make a conscious decision to change your script to suit who you are becoming. So - love yourself and learn from your ego.

I don't know about you, but for me this awakening experience is, in so many ways, the most frightening and yet also the most awesome experience I have ever lived and experienced, apart from the natural delivery of my son.
I don't know - it's like some days I feel like I'm on the verge of something totally mind blowing and awesome and on other days I'm on the verge of depression and despair. Sounds a lot like bi-polar disorder except I know why I break down when I do.
It's a very lonely road - it feels like no one is interested in what I'm now interested in - consciousness, spirituality, divine feminine, ascension. I have to actively seek out groups and communities online and while this is somewhat comforting, the people within arm's reach are the ones I really want to be able to connect with
I've had to give up some friendships along the way - One of the things that happens when you start 'awakening' is that you realize how very toxic some people are. If you're not strong enough to hold a high vibration in their presence, you may find that you just naturally drift away from them as you seek more activities and company that nourishes your soul. Also too, they may simply be interested in harmful activities that you no longer enjoy so you drift away because you no longer have anything in common.
Doubt is never far away - Sometimes you find yourself wishing you could go back to sleep. Feelings of nostalgia plague you and you find yourself wishing in part that things could go back to the way they were because you miss your old relationships and way of life.
You're anxious to know the truth about reality- (I don't really battle with this but I know a lot of people do so I stuck it in) Even within the awakening community there are different perceptions about our reality. For some it includes reptilian aliens, the Illuminati and a plot that resembles the Matrix movie line and for others it's the eternal battle between Jesus and Satan and still others say - there is only love and evil is unreal. Personally I've always had an experience with Father God and Jesus and I am now developing a relationship with the Sacred Mother\Goddess (which many say has simply been represented by the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity). I believe that in essence, the full GOD head is truly ONE and is analogous to LOVE and that we are all extensions of GOD. I don't really bother about all the fear based theories out there since fear is the opposing force to love.
Being anxious to know the direction of my life - Now this is one I struggle with. I was given some instructions a while ago which I faithfully followed. I started this blog, check! Started back to sing, check! And I'm pursuing energy work studies, check! However somewhere along the line, I expected something else to happen. You know, something...big. Instead, it just feels like I'm marking time and waiting. I don't really like waiting- I'm fired up now and I want the consciousness revolution to happen right now in a big way across the planet!
So, this is what I, Elizabeth Energy, a real woman, made of flesh of bone battle with at times as I travail in what many call the dark night of the soul.
How I Overcome It...as recently as yesterday!
I....cry - I have learnt over the years of being on this planet that crying is very therapeutic. I don't break down and cry every day or even every week but if I have been dealing with a lot and I feel a good cry coming on - I let it happen
I seek out inspirational reading - Whether it be other souls further along in their awakening journey, or some other person with something uplifting to say - I seek these people out, visit their blogs, like them on Facebook, follow them on Google+. I know that the dark night of the soul is a real phenomenon and that it is an essential part of the soul's evolution but reading what these people have to share gives me great encouragement.
Ireach out to a trusted friend - I let them know that I'm not having a good day and I allow them to encourage me. I extend help to a lot of people and I can't be too proud to receive help from a friend in my time of need
I get out into nature - Always an awesome spirit booster and I am blessed to live in the tropical bliss of the Caribbean:) Also many times when we feel overwhelmed, we need to check to see if we have been grounding ourselves.
I meditate and go to sleep, in that order! - This right here is always effective. Anxiety means that my mind is way too active for its own good. Meditation helps me to still my thoughts and return to Source where an abundance of peace awaits me and helps me with developing patience and trust in GOD.
I find someone to help or encourage - It's a proven fact that helping someone else is the biggest depression buster ever. Don't believe me? Try it the next time, you feel low. You're switching the signals that you emit from very low to very high and powerful anytime you choose to help or bless someone.
I find something to be grateful for - Even on my low days I can find something to thank GOD for. I even thank GOD for the work being done in me to bring me into the awareness of who I rightfully am which includes going through this low period!
Truth be told, these low swings have been occurring less and less with time and I notice that the more regularly I engage in healthy practices like inspirational reading, exercising, being in nature, meditating daily, helping others, being grateful - that not only do they occur less but they are less and less severe!
In fact as I said earlier, I had a low spell yesterday and I found myself asking GOD "How do you want me to grow and stretch from this experience?"
I must admit, I am slowly turning into an optimist - so I find that I am naturally looking to see the rainbow behind the cloud.
With my anxiety to know or experience something big, I asked myself - Why am I so impatient? Especially with all the wonderful experiences I have had? Is there an ego based need for control that I need to let go of?
I look at my smaller circle of close friendships and I acknowledge that it may have decreased in size but it has increased in value!
So guys, I hope this blog entry will help you if you find yourself experiencing the lows. Let's just say that I know from experience, that the recommended activities really do help!
You know I've been writing this blog and sharing my insights. I usually test what I want to present against Love and Truth but I realize that my idea of truth may inadvertently offend some people and I want to lovingly address this. For example, I believe I am a goddess in training. I must be trained because I lived my whole life believing a lie and a lot of my conditioning\programming has to be changed so that I can walk in the awareness of being a co-creator with Mother-Father GOD. It has been shown to me that I have always created my experiences unconsciously, and now I wish to do so consciously. It is not always easy but I have to be patient with myself. To me, this is the most awesome news I have ever received and it is already transforming my life. I know now, that I can do much greater good in the world, and be of more service to others with this important knowledge. However, some people may have a problem with what I am saying. They may see me as puffed up and even sacrilegious. It's funny because my big brother - Jesus - had to experience the exact same thing. Look here -
30 I and the Father are one.”
31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him,32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?”
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,” they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.”
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’[d]?35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside—36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? - John 10: 30 - 36, NIV
It's awfully ironic how people have no problem calling themselves a child of God and don't realize that the statement means that they are claiming to be One with God. Before Jesus left the earth, he prayed a prayer which I personally hold a lot dearer than even the very infamous Lord's prayer. The full prayer may be found in John 17 but here is one poignant verse from it:
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. - John 17:21, KJV
The Sacred Feminine & The Divine Masculine
Beloved, we are gods and goddesses and it is time that we walk into the full responsibility of such a title. We have a responsibility to our dear precious Mother Earth, the physical manifestation of the Goddess who sustains our very existence.
In one vision that I had, I saw myself going through a tunnel which went into the center of the earth and amazingly, I felt as though it was actually happening within my own self. In this way Sacred Mother attempted to share an important insight to me but I won't get into that now. The Sacred Feminine brings an awareness of the Goddess - the feminine aspect of God - who resides in us all, sitting in the right side of our brains and allowing us to comprehend the big picture. The Divine Masculine - the male aspect of God - represented by the left side of our brain - allows us to process information sequentially and helps us apply logic. Christ consciousness is the ultimate goal though and it is birthed when we are able to unify the Divine Masculine and the Sacred Feminine firstly within ourselves. We cannot throw away logic and reasoning but it must be sifted by unconditional love and the knowledge of our oneness. GOD in the creative aspect of GOD chose to represent GOD's own nature in humanity and thus we have men and women. In the same way that women have a sacred responsibility to represent the divinity of the Feminine, so too do men have a responsibility to the Divine Masculine. For a long time, the Sacred Feminine has remained dormant as patriarchy ruled our society but the re-emergence is not only imminent, it is already happening. The cries against deforestation are rising and are being heard, slowly but surely. People are taking to social media to vent and speak out against savage crimes and other ills towards humanity. Sensitivity to the plight of animals is rising and people are showing more and more that they do care and that the might is not always right. People are giving way to more love and are opening up their hearts to more intuitive guidance. This - is the work of the Sacred Feminine. As Laura Eisenhower says - 'the Sacred Feminine is an essence' and this essence has long been needed. If the Sacred Feminine may be likened to an essence, the Divine Masculine may be likened to structure and the two must mate. My blog is primarily focused on women, but men may glean a message for them as well. Wake up to who you are. Acknowledge and embrace your divinity, allow for the mating of the Divine Feminine and Masculine and give way to the birthing of Christ consciousness within yourself. In this way you contribute to the ripple effect that is sure to crescendo across the planet and the collective planetary consciousness so that we may experience heaven on earth. Love, light & Blessings, Elizabeth Energy
You have made up your mind. You are walking away from this
relationship. It’s either abusive or oppressive – it is not allowing you to
grow. In one way or the other, it is toxic to you and your soul. You know you
deserve better and you want better but you are also on a
true spiritual path and so the ‘how you walk away’ is important to you.
As much
as you want to ascertain yourself and your independence, you want the way you
walk away to be reflective of your highest ideals and beliefs in yourself. You
want to walk away graciously. Here is how you do it.
Acknowledge The Love – The fact that you are reading this article means that love existed at one time or the other and that's why you care about how you walk away. A lot of people believe hate and hostility are the necessary vehicles one must use when walking away from a bad relationship. While it is necessary to feel angry and hurt, you don't have to feel hate to walk away. In fact, it is a whole lot more empowering to acknowledge your love for this person for it means that your decision is actually rooted in a more objective place.
When you spend a lot of energy bitterly hating someone
who has hurt you, only to realise that you still love this person, the effect
can actually be quite damning for you. You see all those negative energies that you created can actually turn around and manifest as feelings of guilt and shame when you are forced to confront the truth that you still do love this person. This is the boomerang effect.
You need to understand something – You don’t need to stop loving someone to walk away from them. Walking away does not mean the love has ended, it just means that you have chosen to love yourself better.
Be Angry, Hurt & Disappointed – When you accept that you
do or did love and care for this person, it opens the way for you to truly feel
your pain. This is necessary. Feel the anger and the hurt. Acknowledge the fact
that this person has disappointed you. If you want to journal your feelings, go
ahead. If you want to vent to a friend – go ahead.
Some words of caution for
the friend you chose to vent to though – make sure this person is trustworthy and
won’t betray your confidence. It is also really advisable to select someone who
is a good listener. As you vent, you don’t need this person constantly
interrupting to put in her ‘two cents’, as we say here in the Caribbean, which
means that their own failed relationships and even their thoughts about your ex
are not welcome at this time. You are venting. You are feeling your pain.
Stay Away from Public Broadcasts – Put another way – leave
your business off social media! Or as we say in the gorgeous Caribbean – don’t
air your dirty laundry in public! That pic of the girl flipping off the camera
carrying the caption “I’m So Glad I left your Sorry A$$” does not need to
become your new profile picture nor do those words need to become your new
status update!
You also don’t need to be telling everyone you meet why your
relationship failed and all the wrong things your ex did. If asked, you can
politely admit that yes you guys are over but you really don’t want to get
caught up in mudslinging or discussing it. If you are direct, people
will respect your boundaries. In fact, they may even feel embarrassed for
asking, so if it is someone whose friendship you do value, you can further tell them
that your feelings are just too raw at the moment and that’s why you don’t wish
to discuss.
Even if your ex is maligning your name; you still owe it to yourself to be more mature and
gracious. Such immaturity is expected of little teenagers or persons who are still
emotionally undeveloped. This reflects more on your ex than it does on you. Your friends and peers, who are right now giving
him an ear, will see through this eventually and if they are that gullible to
believe every word he says, then trust me, you should not care about their
opinion!
Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do – the idea of
forgiveness often times rubs people the wrong way. Forgiving someone does not
mean excusing their hurtful words or actions. The mere fact that you have
chosen to walk away, already signals to the Universe and to yourself that you
will no longer tolerate their behaviour and that you have already embraced the fact that you deserve
better.
You need to realize that this person was operating from their own
limited knowledge of highest truth. People who hurt you actually do this
because they think it is beneficial to them. They say hurtful things or betray
you because that is how they steal energy when they are running low on energy.
I discuss this at length here The Energy Exchange In Emotional Abuse and it is applicable to other abusive relationships as well.
These people have not yet discovered a way to tap into the
Source of life to refuel. They feel bad about themselves and so they make you
feel bad about yourself. You however, have an opportunity to work from the highest
knowledge you have of yourself. Once you have acknowledged your pain – and only
you will know how long you need to do this – it is to your highest good to then
release this individual. That is what forgiveness is all about – releasing them
so that they do not continue to be toxic to your aura even after you left them.
Reflect & Be Grateful – You should be able to reflect on the good qualities of this relationship and this individual and be thankful for them. Don't go around saying everything about this person was bad and evil only to then have a quiet moment where you recall something wonderful they did for you. Again the boomerang effect comes into play and all the negative energies you were pushing towards them will turn around and act upon you as guilt and shame.
Even if you truly believe there was
nothing positive about your experience with this individual, you can at least be grateful for the important lessons learnt.
You see you are leaving because you have come to better appreciate what you
want and what you don’t want in a relationship. You should also spend some
time reflecting on what attracted you to this person and how this experience is
going to shape what you look for in another relationship.
Don’t spend too much
time beating up yourself for your past decisions, instead acknowledge that you
have grown and are hopefully in a better place to make better decisions. You
are a lot stronger than you think – and this is something that you could always
be grateful for.
Practice Kindness – Now I stand to lose a lot of people
here, but if you reached this far in the article, please stay with me till the
end. I am not asking you to become a ‘bobolee’ – that’s a Caribbean term for
someone who allows people to take advantage of them. I am certainly not
condoning that you continue to help your ex with his loans and bill payments
long after you have gone. When we understand soul contracts which is quite
sufficiently explored by Danielle Mackinnon in her book, we realize that there
are some people you need to walk away from so that their soul can learn a
valuable lesson. If you walk away from them but are still a crutch to them,
then not only are you allowing yourself to be used but you are also not serving
the highest good of this person’s soul.
The kindness I speak of in this point rather refers to your
ability to be gracious while respecting your boundaries. For example, if your
ex is an excellent and professional artist and you know someone looking for the
kind of art work that he can deliver, by all means refer him!
Don’t refer him because you feel guilty about leaving him
and are now worrying about how he is paying his bills! Refer him because you truly believe
he can provide what this potential client is looking for. Remember, you are not
obligated to worry about this person you have walked away from. Worry and guilt
are low vibrating frequencies. However in a scenario such as this, it would actually be
dishonest to say you don’t know a suitable artist and again you don’t want to
energetically be aligned to such negative frequencies.
If you can leave someone and still be kind towards them,
then it means that you have truly grown and are in a much better place to move onto a
next relationship if you so choose.
Choosing to graciously walk away from a toxic relationship,
as it is explained here, will not only give you peace of mind but it also sends a
powerful signal to the Universe that you have grown and that you don’t need a
repeat lesson! Ever wondered why some people keep attracting the same kind of abusive
relationships despite setting intentions for good partners? Well what we signal
to the Universe attracts more of those experiences and people that will reinforce the signal we
are transmitting. So victims, with victim mindsets are transmitting “I am a
victim, I always get a raw deal no matter how hard I try!” Guess what? They will always attract oppressors and abusers to
reinforce those signals. It sounds harsh, but it is true. That's your power as a god or goddess - you create your life and you can choose to either do so consciously or unconsciously.
So, make a conscious decision to walk away graciously and tell the Universe "I have had some bad experiences but I have learnt from them and I am now a better person and I am now more connected to my true nature of love and light." If you continue to live in these higher vibrations, sure enough more of the
really good stuff –in every area of your life - will come your way!
Today is Mother's Day in the year 2015. I got up this morning and wrote in my journal. I had a beautiful day yesterday. It was a day kissed by GOD. It was a perfect day and yet I was alone this morning...but not lonely. I woke early and spent some time in quiet meditation and then I went back to sleep but not before requesting communication with the Sacred Feminine.
While I slept I was blessed to receive inspiration and clear guidance on how to proceed with a challenging situation. Indeed the message has not changed - I am to stay the course of love. I was instructed some time back to release something (that I still very much want) and now it seems that I am to further confirm this action by pursuing a course that will put me in direct opposition to the very thing that I still very much want!
It may seem that pursuing spirituality calls you to deny yourself but as you vibrate higher, you recognize that there is nothing to be desired. It is already yours for the taking. Trust, however is required of us as we approach this understanding so that it moves from being a truth you only acknowledge in a theoretical sense to being a truth that you know from experience.

The Sacred Feminine resides in all of mankind - man or woman. Anyone can call on the Sacred Feminine which is the feminine aspect of God. In fact many people feel more comfortable approaching the feminine aspect of God because they were culturally introduced to the Goddess or because they simply feel more comfortable calling on Mother as opposed to Father. In the truest, most absolute sense - GOD does not really care. GOD is neither male nor female. GOD embodies all.
Steps I Use to Call on the Sacred Feminine
Please note that these are not hard set. You can devise your own means but I do recommend using some sort of yoga goddess pose (there are many) as GOD has created sacred geometry and many forms have deep spiritual significance that transcends the normal physical level of understanding.
Firstly acknowledge that you only desire to communicate with 100% Divine Light and that only 100% Divine Light is to enter your fields and personal space.[Serious NOTE: Try to release your fears, if you have them, before entering this meditation or any other meditation. It is too easy for your fears to surface and manifest and give you a terrible scare. They do this so that you can know to release them. Fear nothing. LOVE is the only truth but we live in Maya - the great illusion which is the true Devil of mankind. Evil comes out of Maya but to those who live and walk in the Light, no harm can come to you. Yet in all things exercise wisdom. A foolish man once said that he wished to prove that our reality was an illusion and so he threw himself off a cliff and died. Of course GOD could have saved him but this man operated from his ego and not true Light. So to sum up this serious note - yes evil exists but as we grow in Love and Light, we realize that it can be transcended.]
Express your desire to communicate with the Sacred Feminine. Mother GOD can and does communicate with us at any time but when you make a specific request, you are telling your ego and conscious mind which operates from the left brain that you wish for this communication to happen. The intention opens the door between the left and right brain for the Divine Feminine sits and operates from the right brain.
Assume the goddess pose or if you feel more comfortable, you may kneel or simply lie down comfortable. If you don't feel comfortable using a particular pose then skip the next step. For those who feel comfortable using the goddess pose, you may want to support your knees with cushions to prevent undue strain if you are not sufficiently flexible.

For those who will use the goddess pose, you may then place your two hands on your womb, palms facing down. Allow the two fore fingers and two thumbs to touch each other making a triangular space in between the palms
Breathe deeply into your belly (like a baby) for a few moments
Calmly state the request for guidance or discuss the area of your life within which you have a concern. You are approaching a loving Mother who cares deeply about your concerns and values that you wish to acknowledge her. Even if you had no loving earthly mother, know that this mother is your true Mother - the Mother of ALL.
Go to sleep - Again recall that the Divine Feminine operates from your right brain and the seat of your subconscious. You must put the conscious to sleep, to allow the guidance to flow into and through your subconscious which is connected to Source - Divine Light.
Well, that's it basically. I may or may not receive a dream or experience but when I get up later, I simply know what I have to do. I then do it. You may think this is obvious but repeatedly asking for guidance and then not following the received guidance is cheating yourself. It shows that you don't trust the guidance received and you may find your life heading down a path of confusion because in truth you are confused.
How Do I Know the Communication Received is From the Sacred Feminine?
Very simple - it's always bathed in love, light and grace. The Sacred Feminine's truest essence is to restore and nurture.
Any other communication is coming from your own ego or a dark part of you that needs to be resolved.
