ENERGY & THE EARTH IN TRANFORMATIONAL TIMES

Have you wondered what is happening on our planet? Have you sensed the shift already occurring in the nature kingdom, in our forests, prairies, and oceans? Most of you have noticed that something is different in our animals as well, both wild and domestic alike. Have you felt an intensity coming from our fellow humans, a sense that something is about to change? Well, it is true. We are all shifting. The earth is shifting as well, and we all have the opportunity to be a loving witness to her growth, as she does the same for us.
Unlike what many sources of information circulating now say, I do not believe this shift to be one to fear or dread. I do not see it as doom or gloom. I see the potential as being beautiful and peaceful, with all in harmony here on the planet. The harmony is about understanding our oneness with every living being, seeing the divinity that lies within them as it does within us. For this heaven on earth to occur, as a whole, the consciousness of the planet must shift to one of love, instead of fear. We have the opportunity to move ourselves and our planet into a higher plane or dimension and leave behind the past as we have known it. For most, this is something they can’t even fathom. Not yet.
However, sometimes the darkness has to leave before we see the light. There are many energies the earth is clearing and ridding herself of, energies that we and other beings have dumped upon her–some of those physical, others mental/emotional, and some spiritual. The shifts she is going through can also be perceived as negative, especially if natural disasters are a result. These are not always what they seem. Sometimes shifts have to occur to open our hearts, minds, refreshing our spirits, and allowing us to see how we are all connected. Sometimes these shifts allow us to see what our true purpose is, what we are here to learn, and how we can help others. It can be a part of what our soul(s) chose to use as a mechanism for growth. There are also shifts that we perceive as uncomfortable in our environment that provide a clearing of all previous contracts we have had with earth. This includes physical actions such as polluting, but also all the behavioral interactions we have had with all the life forms that are part of earth, including the life forms that live on earth.
You might be wondering, what can we do to move through this transformation as gracefully as possible? There is a lot we can do. To make a change, we have to be aware, and that is the basis behind my message. We can start by doing simple, practical things. We can recycle, pick up trash and litter, help to clean up our beaches, and avoid using plastic bags that are toxic to our land and seas, as well as the living beings in and on them.
For the emotional/mental aspects we can start by becoming more aware of what is going on within ourselves. As we are living on this marvelous planet, we are affecting her in every moment by how we are feeling and what we are thinking, whether we are aware of it or not. Taking responsibility for our state of mind and emotions is how we begin to shift them, which will benefit our relationships with other beings as well, leading to a more positive energy spread all around the globe. There are many forms of healing available to beings at this time. I believe the most effective are those that address all levels of our being, not just the physical. It is also helpful to use a form of healing that gets to the root cause of a particular issue, instead of just treating a symptom. Energy Healing is one of them.
As an Energy Healer, I find that the earth offers an amazing energy to help us heal. Nature, including many of the animals here, have an uncanny ability to clear energy through their electromagnetic fields. If we are aware and willing, through our intent, we can choose to release the burdens we have been carrying. Most energy healing modalities work through the foundational belief that universal energy, or life force energy is everywhere, and if we know how to direct it, we can heal ourselves and others with it.
In addition to this, there are other energies coming onto the earth, many sent from other beings, in other places of the universe. These energies are healing, and are meant to help earth, nature, animals, and mankind. This is why to some degree, we are all shifting, even if we aren’t all consciously choosing to. We all process these energies in different ways, however, and many common symptoms of headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and fogginess in the thinking faculties are results of this.
One way we can help ourselves process these energies with comfort, is to connect to the earth. As a Crystalline Consciousness Technique ™ practitioner, I can help beings stay balanced through these times, as well as deal with what is going on inside of them. Crystalline Consciousness Technique ™ works with one’s crystalline energy field, which can provide an extra protection from the old energies leaving the planet, and
allow for an easier assimilation of all of these new energies. It also helps with grounding, stabilizing, and the time challenges we are having due to time speeding up.

Another way to adapt to these new energies coming onto the planet, as well as those leaving is to take the time to surrender to what is. Instead of resisting the uncomfortable fatigue, dizziness or nausea, take care of yourself during this time. Rest if you can, in moments of fatigue. If nauseous or dizzy, go out in nature and ground through breathing and being in the present moment. If you feel pain that you know is not yours, have compassion for the beings and the earth who you are feeling. Most of all, take these moments to acknowledge this discomfort as a spiritual opportunity. Foggy-headedness and fatigue especially are moments when spiritual portals are opening and we can allow this energy in to help us heal. We can also access information that we can share with others on an energetic level to help them. None of this is done with our minds. We can all share and access this energy and information at the higher self level through our awareness and intent. This is all we have to do. This message is meant to help you do that if you so choose.

With all of this energy and light coming from the beings and planets assisting our own, there is no way we can’t each move forward on our paths as well as make the big dimensional shift. It is the choice to focus and believe in love instead of fear. It is also visualizing the world we want to live in, believing in that, and holding the emotions that support that vision. This is how we create our future, and the world we want to live in.

THE MAGIC OF HORSES AND KIDS: A HEALING COMBINATION

Have you ever observed children around horses? Have you seen the way the child and horse light up inside as they interact, whether during riding, grooming, feeding, or just being near each other in a stall or pasture? The imagination shared between them is endless. Perhaps this is where the bond between them is formed. It is as if they are together in a world of their own, bringing in what they both need to thrive physically and psychologically. This is especially noticed with special needs children, such as those with Autism, Downs Syndrome, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and others that are physically or psychologically handicapped.
Because of these observations, you may begin to wonder, what is this bond and how does it help a child and horse thrive? In my eleven years as a Registered Nurse, five of those spent working with children, and in the last few years working with horses as an animal communicator, energy healer, and equestrian, I have observed many similarities between horses and kids, as well as the alchemy they have when coming together. These observations answer the mysterious questions of the bond and healing they share.
First of all, the compassion and unconditional love that a horse holds is endless. They are empathic, highly sensitive animals, which means they sense our thoughts, emotions, and feel our physical sensations. They also have large hearts both physically and metaphorically. Anyone who has ever spent time with horses, owned them, or worked with them would agree that their capacity to love is great. It is as if they can pierce the layers of our being and see who we are deep inside. For children with special needs, being seen in this way is essential in helping them with their own healing process, on whatever level that might be.
In addition, for children with mental and emotional challenges, a horse’s non-verbal nature resonates with them. It is like living in a foreign country where you finally meet someone who speaks your language. This is beneficial for the horse and child, because both can relay emotions, thoughts, and needs through body language and mental telepathy. Telepathy is a form of communicating with another through the mind with pictures, feelings, words, or thoughts. Special needs children already use this form of communication regularly to get their needs met, especially if their disability is in speech or mental processing. Therefore, with horses, they are often successful in riding and other horsemanship activities because information is being passed back and forth between horse and child with ease. It is like they are experts in a field that adults have forgotten or need to practice.
Along this same idea, horses provide a safe container for special needs children. A horse represents the most grounded being–living out in nature, with four legs in contact with the earth. As prey animals, they are continuously aware of their environment, with a need to be present in every moment for survival. Children feel safe in the presence of this grounded being, who is always aware of what is happening in the environment, and with them.
With riding, a child needs to focus, as does a horse, on the task at hand. Any meandering thoughts or shift in awareness can lead to a horse who no longer listens or follows the command of the child. There are also many repetitive body movements and actions that need to be taken while riding a horse. In cases of Autism, as many parents have reported, rocking motions can often have a calming effect on the child. The soothing feeling, focusing on the present, and safe presence of the horse allows a child to become grounded. The child can then direct his or her energy towards healing and learning, instead of using it for protection or on outside distractions. This is why parents of special needs children often report an increase in reading, speaking, writing skills, and/or improvements in physical functioning after the child has spent time with a horse.
On the same hand, riding helps children with physical limitations as well. In cases of blindness, deafness, or paralysis, a child has to learn to compensate for the lack of a certain bodily sense to maintain balance on the horse. The result of their focus and presence while riding usually leads to improvement in the other senses, such as sharper eyesight for those that are deaf, or increased upper body strength in paraplegics.
Overall, the benefits of children coming together with horses is amazing. The bond formed is very deep and lasts a lifetime, even if the horse is not forever in the child’s life. Although not enough research has been done to make definite conclusions, I think the healing happens because horses and children can relate to each other in pureness of heart, non-verbal, and telepathic ways. As I have witnessed at places of business where children and horses come together to play and create, also called Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning (FEEL), as well as at Therapeutic Riding Centers, children and horses seem to be open to the limitless possibilities in what they can accomplish together on a body, mind, and soul level. Their alchemy leads to a journey of health and wholeness for both. A horse in the life of a child seems like an option too beneficial to pass up, for parents and horse owners alike.
