On Feminism in Today’s World

On Feminism in Today’s World

In light of the Venus Retrograde cycle that ended in early September, the Barbie movie, recent abortion bans and other socio-political events in our world, I wanted to share some thoughts on a hot topic. What is feminism? There are many different definitions out there. It’s said to be a movement that supports women’s rights. But more importantly in these changing times, I think it covers a broad base in that it speaks to our desire for equal rights, harmony and justice for all beings.

Feminism is about the lifting of social barriers. It’s bringing to light the need for healing and compassion in both sexes and for anyone of a particular race, religion, or sexual orientation. It’s an end to all the “isms.” So how do we move forward? It starts with each of us. And it’s most easily worked on in our closest personal relationships.

Have you heard many of the popular songs out there, written about heartbreak or abuse from past lovers or other wrongdoers? Resentment, bitterness or even a desire for revenge are all indicators of what needs to be healed.  Of course, singing or listening to these songs can be a way of processing and releasing anger, blame and other kinds of emotional pain.

But there are other ways to stand up for ourselves and heal rather than continuously broadcasting the vibration of victimization. Isn’t it time to sing a different song to our collective? This is not only true for performing artists, but for those of us who are constantly focusing on these old, sad stories. It’s time to sing about and live by the intentions of love, connection, joy, freedom, empowerment, creativity and inspiration!

True empowerment, assertiveness and healthy boundaries are pure in intent and come from the heart. These energies should always be expressed from a place of unconditional love and compassion. Forgiveness is key to the healing process and to ending the battle of the sexes and any other “ism” out there. When we release the need to be right, validated, vindicated or to seek retaliation in any way, we let go of the power struggles and move back into balance.

Along with this is the necessity of letting go of unhealthy attachments to particular people or outcomes. Instead of codependence, what we really want is interdependence. When we become more emotionally self-sufficient and seek collaboration rather trying to control anyone, then we can begin creating relationships based on equality, respect and harmony. This could be with close family members, friends, or partners, but it’s also about our connections with everyone in our collective too.

How does the healing happen? The first step is a willingness to take responsibility for our own pain and issues. There is a need to be vulnerable and to feel any emotional pain that is arising. Next is our journey of looking closely at our patterns and doing the work to release them.

The kind of healing work we choose can take many forms. It can involve talk therapy, EMDR or other forms of trauma release, somatic healing, support groups, spiritual practices and retreats, energy work, shamanic or sound healing…the list goes on and on. The desire to do this work and just getting started in it will bring healing and change quicker than most can imagine, especially in these dynamic times. But additionally, it helps to know that healing and transformation is a journey not a destination. It’s about wanting to grow and expand, and embracing this journey as a lifelong process.

And this leads back to the idea of feminism discussed in the beginning of this post. When more and more people want to heal and change, and wholeheartedly embrace the process, the collective shifts. When more of us let go of past hurts and forgive completely, it allows us to truly open our hearts. And not only do our personal relationships improve, but we also start to see that we are all one and the same on the inside. So feminism isn’t just about equal rights for women or embracing the diversity in our human collective. It’s about justice and harmony for all living beings: humans, animals mother earth and even other planetary beings as well!

Those of us who have open hearts can show the way for others. With all of the expansion, light and other higher frequencies available on our planet now and continuing to amplify, so much love and divine energy can come through these open hearts. In this way, the open-hearted ones can benefit everyone they come in contact with. It has a ripple effect! Even those not currently ready to be vulnerable and do their inner work can prepare to be ready by the presence of these wayshowers, as all souls spiritually awaken and develop at a pace and in timing that is appropriate for them.

As many humans develop more empathy and compassion, we begin treating all living beings with more love, respect and honor. Ethics and laws will change to reflect this. Can you imagine how different our world could be? In these times of accelerated change on the planet, we are well on our way to experiencing these outcomes. Afterall, ascension is about moving into a higher frequency. If you are reading this, you are ready. So let’s step up together and help the process along by doing our own part in healing. It’s time to enjoy this amazing leap forward in transformation and growth that starts for us during this Fall Equinox!

Blessings and love, 🙂 Heather

Venus Retrograde in Leo: Upgrade your relationships and boost your abundance

Venus Retrograde in Leo: Upgrade your relationships and boost your abundance

Happy Summer everyone! At this time Venus is Retrograde in Leo until Sept. 4th, 2023. We are also in the Lion’s Gate Passageway, a powerful astrological phenomenon and portal of energy available each year from July 27th-August 12th that can boost our manifestation processes. With both Venus Retrogade and the Lion’s Gate happening simultaneously, we can expect many areas of our lives to be influenced. In particular, issues related to love, relationships of all kinds, self-worth and abundance will be highlighted.

This is a great time to reflect on your biggest blocks and challenges with regard to romantic relationships, friendships, family, coworkers or business partners, to let go of the old stories. The same goes for money and abundance. When considering both areas, think about what you deserve, value and intend at this time. The cosmic energies coming in during this Venus Retrograde & Lion’s Gate passage can support you in shifting your reality. Work with your creativity, self-sovereignty and confidence to help you step into greater joy and your highest timeline.

With relationships, prepare for wake-up calls or clarity. You might receive insights about going to to the next level in some of your closest and most beloved partnerships. Some might find themselves wanting to commit more deeply, while others might decide separation or endings are needed with certain people they care about. Use communication to move beyond old issues. More will be revealed in relationship dynamics. So put in the effort to heal and transform all that you discover during this cycle!

Especially for women, if you know this applies to you and you’ve been holding back for way too long, don’t be afraid to speak your truth, assert yourself and set appropriate boundaries. This allows you to take better care of you. It can assist you with releasing any anger, resentments or hurts from the past. It is also part of what supports your own self-worth and empowerment, helping you to create better balance and harmony in all of your relationships. Healthy relationships are based on equality, with both partners giving and receiving.

Most women can relate to the mother archetype. When we access and embrace the divine mother energies inside of us, we feel a deep desire to love, nurture and protect. Empathy, connection and a sense of oneness with others comes naturally to us. Women have a powerful role to play at this time on the planet. All of humanity needs more of our pure, unconditional love and acceptance. This kind of love alone can work miracles in healing! It can change the world.

It’s the perfect time for all of us–men, women and children–to love and support those who have traditionally been oppressed, forgotten, disrespected or unappreciated. Those who need extra care and compassion can benefit from our assistance. So if you feel called to be involved with women’s rights, speak out on behalf of animals, offer support with environmental issues or help with the lifting of social barriers, do so! Whatever passion or purpose you have that brings you joy, step into that! And if it’s something unconventional, unique or eccentric, even better. Now more than ever, your actions can have more far-reaching effects than you know.

And when you do what you do in service to others, remember to care for and love yourself more. Take time to rest and replenish. This allows for the ignition of your inspiration and passions. Let go of old patterns of sacrificing or sabotaging your needs or energy. Release the habit of people-pleasing, and stop trying to change or fix anyone else. Instead, live your life for you!

Focus on shining your light in the world, in the ways that you choose. This is also how you role-model the way for others to do the same, which often inspires them to change! If this is new for you, even taking a first step in this direction can leave you feeling more powerful, free and uplifted than you may have ever known. Understand too, that it isn’t really about what you do, it’s more about how you do it.

Careers, hobbies, vocations and special projects that light you up are examples of how to spread your gifts in the world and live a more fulfilled life. Stay-at-home moms, gardeners and animal lovers who bring creativity, joy or a unique energy in how they live out these roles also emphasize this point. The focus on your passions, play, and creating the life you desire will boost your self-worth and abundance quotient. This will also benefit all of your relationships.

There is more of a balance taking place between the masculine and feminine energies inside of each of us and in our world. This shift and other collective karmic releases are allowing for divine order and justice with regard to our economics as well. We’re going to see breakthroughs for those who have been stifled, dishonored and abandoned by the larger authoritarian and governmental groups in our society. But we all have to do our part. We can’t just sit aside and wait for the changes to happen. It starts with each of us on an internal level, one person at a time!

So as you reflect, review, and release over the next month of Venus Retrograde and the last week of the Lion’s Gate passage, ask yourself, what will your part be in collective change? And where will you begin? It’s the perfect time for you to release old and unhealthy stories and creations connected to love, relationships, and abundance in all forms. Set your intentions and allow for the healing and transformation. Stay focused on what you want to manifest in your own life and know that right now, a potent window of opportunity is available to you. Let the magic happen…and enjoy!

Love, Heather

Uranus Retrograde in Taurus: How can we help the animal & nature kingdoms?

Uranus Retrograde in Taurus: How can we help the animal & nature kingdoms?

There is so much happening on planet Earth these days! One of the topics I feel passionate about is how we can assist the animal and nature kingdoms. Right now our astrology supports us in viewing our current reality in a new way and finding solutions to challenges or issues. Since August, the planet Uranus has been retrograde in Taurus. Uranus is the planet that activates awakening. It shakes things up for us, brings change, helps us find innovative ways to breakthrough limitations or blocks. Taurus is the sign that can represent the earth, money and other valuable resources. So when the planet Uranus is retrograde that would indicate that we are given a time to reflect on what changes might be possible with areas of our lives that are connected with money, resources and the earth.

There is a lot of information out there about how to work with money and other forms of abundance in new ways that can benefit our lives. There are even new forms of currency available, like bitcoin for instance. We are also becoming more aware of alternative ways to take care of our physical bodies. Health and balance are becoming very important in our relationships and ways of living. So how can we apply all of this to the earth?

We can start by deciding what changes need to be made to help improve the earth. How could we help our wild and domestic animals be healthier? It’s a good time to review how we’ve been handling things thus far, and ways to make it better. Most of us can think about this and know what the problems are. But the influence of Uranus would want us to come up with innovative and unconventional solutions. We need to look at the deeper issues, know the causes behind the problems and how can we remedy them. This might seem daunting when we think of major global concerns like toxins, pollution, and depleted natural resources.

When we consider many of the dilemmas with wild animals, we know that the cattle and meat industry is a big part of it. Wild horses are taken off their lands to make room for cattle. Cattle are slaughtered for their meat. Many other domestic farm animals live in tightly restricted environments and we consume their eggs and milk. This also affects the climate and the earth in different ways. Because we are all connected and one, it ultimately affects us as well.

These are some of the really big issues and yet there are still more. So you might ask, what can done? This is where the innovative or creative geniuses come in, even the most alternative. Those inventors will come forward during this time period we are in now and over the next 10-20 years. There is technology in many forms, including the crystalline kind that can be helpful. Many other physical healing tools will become available. As our collective consciousness and DNA continues to shift, many more of us will easily be able to greatly decrease or discontinue our consumption of meat and dairy.

The earth is also in transformation. So some of the natural disasters and the dying off of particular species are a result of her going through this natural change. But she also has hidden helpers and protectors who are serving in the unseen realms. These beings are assisting her and many of the wild animals in overcoming much of the seemingly unsurmountable challenges influenced by our traditional human ways. Many of us lightworkers are also helping by offering energy healing and other supportive services to ground the light where it’s needed and promote transformation, while inviting Mother Gaia to turn on more of her 5D (crystalline) aspects and structures.

Much of this is part of the awakening influence of the planet Uranus and we can work with it to also benefit our animals at home. Even with our dogs and cats, it is worth pondering how we can connect or communicate with them in a way that serves their greatest well-being. In these changing times, many people are now seeking alternative resources to improve their animal’s physical and emotional health, behavior and their relationship with them. This can include anything from learning animal communication skills to using herbs, flower essences or other forms of nontraditional healing like acupuncture and massage. We are connecting with our animals on much deeper levels, recognizing them as equal partners. We know their value and worth. In these times especially, many can now see how their animals have unique personalities, souls, talents, and destinies, just like all of us.

And on that note, as we are aware of the love and devotion we have for our own animals and loved ones at home, we can just as easily apply that to the wild, aspects of earth and the world at large. Love is the greatest power there is and it can move mountains, break barriers and create miracles. We can all use this power of love in any way we choose. So ask yourself, how do you prefer to use it? Reflect on your passions, your desire to serve. What lights you up or brings you joy in life? This is the time to use your gifts, talents and desires, to bring them out in the world to benefit all. As the astrology supports us now, the possibilities for making great strides, changes and breakthroughs will be clearly evident in our collective reality in the years to come.

With love & blessings during this holiday time! ~Heather

A Message from the Onaqui Wild Horses on July 13, 2021: The Day of the Roundup Decision

A Message from the Onaqui Wild Horses on July 13, 2021: The Day of the Roundup Decision

 

“Greetings, we are the wild Onaqui. We are here connecting with your human consciousness. And we want to say that we appreciate greatly all of the humans who have fought for us in all the ways possible. We are aware of this, and we are also aware as a soul collective, of all the possibilities that may or may not happen at this time in our fate, with the outcome of where we live and the unfolding of our destiny as a herd.

On a soul level, we have been aware that this will play out the way it is playing out here today. We are aware of this and we are at peace with whatever outcome may occur. For it is all part of the greater unfolding in the earth collective’s consciousness, in the earth’s evolutionary progression. Either way, whether you see the outcome as good or bad, it will help all beings involved in this situation and similar situations which includes us, other wild horses, animals and wildlife, and you humans, in the evolution of consciousness. This is the bigger reason. This is the why behind the big picture of all of it. On a soul level, as a collective, we are well aware of that.

On a physical level as our animal selves it is what it is, a tragedy, that we are playing the part of the martyr or sacrificial animal species. We know that we touch the hearts of many in our beauty, spirituality and grace, and we enjoy that connection as well with all the humans who appreciate and value us, and with our earth and the other wildlife we encounter along the way. We appreciate everything we experience in these physical bodies of the wild, it is a rich experience for us no matter how things go.

We wish for you to take what you can from this experience. See it as growth for the greater human collective and for the greater earth collective too. Do not grieve any loss that may occur and any pain that you see us experiencing. For as we said, it is all part of the bigger picture and it is why we’ve come at this time. We are playing our role and we are playing it exactly as we need to at this time. For, this may come as a surprise to you, but we are very close to, very good friends with all of the humans involved who stand for or against this roundup, on the other side. And we have decided to do this together, to move through this process together down here on earth. So no matter what the outcome, no matter how it looks, it is all part of that unfolding, and it is all happening as it should be.

We encourage all of you to do what is right in your own hearts, to follow that guidance, and to not give up. Shine the light of love in the world for us and for all the qualities you value in us and that you’d like see more of in the world. Keep this up now human friends, as we will always be supporting you, whether we are in these horse forms in the wild or taking another form later—no matter where we are living or what our fate may be. In this physical reality, we will always be connecting with you and loving you unconditionally.

Our fate, in a way, is intertwined with yours because we are all in this together. And as you are coming to realize how the fate of the human collective is connected with the fate of the animal and nature kingdoms, you are all beginning to understand more and more, how we are all one.

And so again, we send our love to you, our transmission of peace, of acceptance, and we invite you to take all that we have to offer you, all that you see in us that you love or that is inspirational or uplifting to you—take that with you in your hearts, carry it with you always, again, no matter the outcome.

We are always with you and we are one. With love, the Onaqui.”

April Newsletter on the Shift: Prosperity & The Changing of Our Genetics

                               PROSPERITY & THE CHANGING OF OUR GENETICS

As we enter what feels like a new era since that powerful eclipse sandwich March 20/April 4th, we have the opportunity to put our new, upgraded 5D technology to use. If you’ve really taken advantage of the new moon/full moon, equinox energies, you’ve likely done your inner work and integrated much of your past pain and struggle, going all…the…way…back. But now you’re clear about your highest path and ready to truly follow it’s direction with much more ease and grace.
   

One of the main life areas impacted by our recent upgrade is prosperity. And this is where (gulp), we have to be willing to take risks. How to know when you’re being a fool or when you’re taking appropriate risk considering the circumstances? Well, the Pleiadian guides say no risk is too risky these days; it’s all about how you feel in response to the risk. So if the prospect of getting a new car, house, signing a contract, or moving to Australia brings you joy and excitement, even if some anxiety and fear of the unknown comes up, go for it! Your joy, passion, appreciation, and gratitude will help you create the additional money, resources, clients, etc..that you need to be successful in your dream.
   
If on the other hand, the feelings you have are doom, gloom, panic, or any kind of overwhelm, go deeper and look at whether it’s a message from your higher self. The fact that these heavier emotions are so intense is likely because it’s not the right choice for you or you’re not quite ready to take that leap of faith. And the key to remember here is that it’s the leap of faith that really creates the outcome you desire, not the lack of risk.
   
We are instant manifesters now, creating our reality moment by moment, day by day. It might not look like this when we view things through our 3D lenses, but this is what the cosmic energies support. We can have what we want, as long as our vibration works in our favor. So be willing to spend money, even more than you might be comfortable with, on what you truly need and value. If you can do this while feeling grateful, fully enjoying what you bought, and without the usual guilt and worry that accompanies many of our spending habits, you will attract the money that you spent right back in again.
   
In fact, the 5D upgrades allow us to receive as much or more than we give, and never less. You’ve got to give to receive! Let go of the illusion of the economy suffering, your business being slow, or not working enough hours. Make your inner work your real job, and watch the abundance follow and your outer world change.
   
And speaking of abundance, let us switch to another concern of many these days, especially for those of us in California. Want more rain? One cause of the climate change affecting weather across the globe is simply the evolution of earth and our sun. But according to my Pleiadian guides, there are also many man-made causes.  There is spraying in our skies, pollution from our cars, amongst other factors, but one of the biggest is our business with raising animals for meat and dairy.
   
This topic pushes a lot of buttons, even my own as I write this. Who wants to have to change their diet? Yet the Pleiadians remind me to remain steadfast in my message. We’re spending too much of our energy trying to heal the Earth, when nothing is wrong with her. Mother Earth can’t answer our calls for rain–not to the extent that we desire anyway–when we are the problem. This is why praying for rain or doing visualizations and rain dances aren’t enough. They can even cause more imbalance (too much rain in certain areas in too short a period of time), if we project our psychic energy on Earth, instead of working with her. So now we must be the solution.
  
Up until this point, the issue has caused quite a quandary. It’s been documented that we can get sufficient amounts of protein and animo acids from plant foods like beans and rice, quinoa, and many greens. In addition, many doctors, researchers, and scientists have spoken about the high cholesterol and saturated fat content in animal products, yet other theories out there still claim some humans need meat for fuel.
  
 The truth? According to the Pleiadians, our genetics are changing. At this time of our evolution, we are releasing the 3D implants that have kept us enslaved and headed for environmental collapse through our domination over animals and our need/desire to eat them. Our contract with animals has shifted. We are moving into a partnership that supports equality with all living beings, like we had in ancient times. It is for this reason that many are losing their appetite for meat and dairy. Many are questioning whether consuming it is necessary for humans to survive and thrive. And it no longer is. Much of our hunger for animal products is really an addiction, not unlike when we crave the richness of alcohol or sugar.
   
This need for equality is across the board, in how we treat and value the Earth and her resources, and in how we consider the domesticated animals in our lives. We will no longer breed them for our own personal use or gain, and we will only engage in activities together that they freely choose. Should we toss our cat out of our home because he is aggressive with a new family member, or our horse because he can no longer give rides? We need to be willing to get them the help they need, and remain loyal and true to those who are aging or unable. All animals are our family, just as our Earth is.
   
The current energies are ushering us into times of greater abundance, joy, connection, where all beings will flourish. But we are still the creators of our reality; as a collective, we are deciding through our actions, everyday, what kind of world we want to live in. So what changes are you willing to make? What new actions will you take? Open up to releasing your addictions, whether they are emotional in origin, or related to food. Open up to seeing your relationship with animals and the Earth in a novel way.
   
For more information and energy healing to enlighten and assist on these important topics of prosperity, the changing of our genetics, and the releasing of other 3D implants that will change the way we work, relate, create, and allow for the expansion of our psychic/spiritual abilities, join the Pleiadians and me for my upcoming Teleconference class, Working with the Equinox Energies and Nature, Thursday, April 30th, from 6:30-8pm PST. $25.
