Dance from Within!

Have you ever considered that you are a moving form of the most beautiful art on the planet? You have a physical body which is made up of chemicals and particles that have come together to create one being…YOU! All these little atoms and molecules unite with an energy of their own to create ONE. As with all energy in nature not every ONE is the same. These particles are unique not only in their own form but in how they come together to make a perfectly unique human being. You don’t see each little molecule when you look at someone, nor do you see the movement within. The heart beats, blood flows, breath brings oxygen to every cell, organs & muscles are all working. You don’t see this with the naked eye but you KNOW it’s happening! You don’t need to think about doing these things….there is no effort. The ebb & flow, at times in unison, creates movement within very much like a dance. There is a master choreographer who put together your physical body with its glorious inner movement and when you think about how amazing the body really is well…it’s a miracle and vision to behold!

You are made of energy in motion and the same is true with your spirit. The energy of your spirit is not only inside you but flows out and dances around you. The energy that surrounds you is known as your AURA. It is always in motion and is unique to YOU. Some can see it or feel it, others are aware of it, and some merely KNOW it is there. Your spirit energy is what animates the body and allows you to BE alive! It is who you are. There is truth and beauty in your spirit, it is vibrant and musical! When you can see it, feel it or merely become aware of it, that in itself creates a shift and changes not only your perspective but how others see you as well! If you’ve ever taken a moment to meditate, pray or to look inside yourself and just BE you may have noticed how you feel afterwards.  Each time you turn your attention within  a twinkling dance  begins anew! Your truth is alive in the ebb & flow of color and YOU become the CHOREOGRAPHER of that dance and indeed your life.

There really is a fine art to turning your attention within and bringing together body and spirit. After all, you have this amazing body and it’s equally amazing to BE in it! However, as with all forms of art, it may take a bit of practice to be able to quiet the mind. A nice example of this is the art of the dance. If you’ve ever seen a dance performance, what you see on stage looks effortless. The dancers create a picture of beauty  and movement that was originally in the mind of the choreographer.  BUT what you see may not have been the original picture or idea. There is a process that  is rehearsed and perfected until it’s very spirit comes alive on stage through each dancer. The choreographer may have started out with a vision of what they wanted to create but then, while creating it with the dancers and watching it come alive,  find there  is something they’d like to change. Maybe what they envisioned didn’t work, maybe it didn’t flow right, or maybe they discovered another movement that expressed a deeper meaning to the piece.  Has that ever happened to you? Once you began to create your vision, you wanted to change it for some reason?

The dancers on the other hand don’t just merely wake up in the morning knowing by osmosis what the choreographer has in mind. They also didn’t wake up knowing how to do each step, they must learn the steps and practice their art. They rehearse over and over. It’s interesting to note that what makes a great dancer is not just knowing the steps and doing them well. What makes a GREAT dancer is what THEY bring to the table. It is the part of their spirit that comes forth and shines through with each flowing movement! (I can tell you from personal experience that if you’ve never seen a brilliant LIVE dance performance you should! It is a spiritual experience just to watch!)

Now, getting back to you! :-)  The art of quieting the mind and turning your attention within to find your vibration and flow may take some practice!  Especially since in your life, YOU are both the choreographer AND the dancer! You may be choreographing many things in your life. When you quiet the mind and just BE you can sit back and watch as what is not part of you falls away to reveal your true dance within! So often I hear that someone “can’t” sit still. Well, with practice, you CAN learn to quiet your mind. It might only be  minutes to start but in time 5 minutes turns into 10 and so on. It’s not always easy, like when learning a new dance step, but in time it becomes effortless if you practice and allow it to become a part of your daily life. With practice comes certainty and certainty allows trust that if something doesn’t work, you can change it yet again!

You truly ARE the choreographer of your life! You ARE the dancer! You get to choose the flow of your life by getting in touch with your inner BE ing, your spirit. You can dance to your very own essence! When you choreograph your own life you have the choice and free will to change what you would like to change. Whether it is thought, vibration, what you want, your life path, and even how you live your day-to-day existence. There is music in your being  and if you merely take a moment to listen…you can dance to the music of your heartbeat, your breath and your unique vibration within. Watch and experience your spirit as it dances in flowing movement in and around you. Notice the beautiful dance you are doing as the physical and spiritual parts of you come together and work in unison to create your life. Practice your art not to make it perfect but to see what works and if you desire….change the choreography! Thank you for reading my blog! Shine your Light~Debbie

Playing in YOUR SANDBOX: )

32286-Clipart-Illustration-Of-A-Cat-Near-A-Boy-And-Girl-Playing-In-A-Sandbox-In-A-ParkRemember when you were little and you got to play in the sand? Whether it was the beach or your sandbox all you needed was a small shovel, bucket, maybe some water and your imagination! Your socks and shoes were thrown off so your little toes could just squish into that fun sand. You could create whatever you wanted and there was a feeling of pure joy with the experience. It didn’t matter who was watching, or if your castle had a moat. It was really FUN if you could get someone to bury in it!  You would create something then destroy it because you had the certainty that the next thing you created would be even better! There was magic in that sandbox! You were in a world of your own imagination building your dream! It could be simple or intricate but nonetheless it was YOURS….AND there were NO LIMITS!

For me there were giggles, wiggling toes and sunshine! The sandbox was a HAPPY place where I could create something, destroy it, then create something new. It didn’t have to be perfect, I was not limited to one thing our another. In my sandbox everything was FUN and POSSIBLE! To this day I love going to the beach. I find it very healing to walk in the sand barefoot and just listen to the water gently lapping against the shore. There is an awareness about me. It’s about feeling the sensations, being in the body and having my space. It still delights me to create in the sand!  My mind goes a mile a minute with the infinite possibilities!

What would you say if I told you that LIFE, specifically YOUR LIFE, was really like that sandbox? A place to have FUN, grow, create and re-create at will and there were no LIMITS to what you could do and accomplish! What if every grain of sand represented a moment in time and when all put together makes you who you are…..A creative, spiritual being having a human experience.  Each grain of sand IS a moment and you can use those grains to grow, change and create yet another masterpiece. Gets you to thinking doesn’t it? :-)

It’s amazing to me how many people I read that have been invalidated and had limits placed on wanting to play in their sandbox. How’s YOUR sandbox these days? Is it a fun place? Are you limited in the what, where or how you create? Is there something you’d like to do but there’s a little voice in your head that says “hahaha you can’t do THAT”! Is there something in the back of your mind you’ve really wanted to do but keep it in the back of your mind? If so, you may have had a limit placed on you! Perhaps at 3 when you said you wanted to be an astronaut, policeman, fireman etc. you were patting on the head and told ”that’s nice” sweetheart. Mom & Dad thought it was cute and then went on to imagine what THEY wanted for you. A more realistic life.  My personal favorite is about having it ALL! Of course you can’t have it ALL! Maybe you can have a little piece every now and then but for sure you can’t have it all at the same time! Well…..WHY NOT?

One of the challenges I have in writing a blog is how many different directions I can go with it. I open a plethora of pictures and try to stay focused! :-) For the purpose of THIS blog I want to address the limits that are either placed on us or that we place on ourselves. In many ways, the current economy has forced some of us to re-evaluate what it is that we are doing, expand our creativity and even takes steps to follow that “dream” in the back of our minds. What I see in present time are people searching for HOW  to blow out the limits and go in a different direction! Although perhaps forced to do it by circumstance it seems to me that just about EVERYONE is now taking some sort of step to find their answers, clear the limits and begin anew to create the BEST sandcastle ever! What great news!

So,  each moment is a grain of sand. It’s what you do with each moment that builds your creation! Every experience, good or bad, allows you to grow & learn. Is your focus and intent centered on your imagination and what lies within or is it on outside circumstances (limits) that you can’t do anything about? Are you building your sandcastle? Are you playing and having FUN in your sandbox? Why not take a moment right now to imagine what it would be like to ~PLAY IN YOUR SANDBOX OF LIFE~ How would it feel to build the most glorious castle ever?!

Now is the time to let go of the limits! Begin to dream of your glorious sand castles! What would your life look like? Feel like? See the details, smile inside as you imagine those grains of sand coming together. No dream is too big! Feel the sand under your feet in your sandbox! Wiggle your toes and bask in the sunshine of your dream! Sprinkle your sand castle with a bit of gold fairy dust, show it to the universe and then allow it to float off so that it can come back to you with ease! There’s no effort in this! Each moment in time is a grain of sand that makes you who you are! Singularly separate, yet all ”packed” together is YOUR beautiful creation!

Light, Love & Abundance to all~Debbie

MOM WAS RIGHT! Cleaning IS good for the soul!

cleanSo OK here it is! I admit it! My Mom was right! Cleaning is good for the soul! She has always told me that since I was little and how right she was and indeed IS! I will add that cleaning is not only good for the soul but it’s good for your spirit as well!

I have a little joke about how I know when I’ve lost my space……I look around my home there are dishes piled in the sink,  the windows have a dusty film,  laundry is stacked high and there seems to be a layer of dust on everything.  

When I notice my physical space looking like this, of course, I know it’s time to clean! No matter how long it takes, I begin to clean, room by room, top to bottom. When I’ve finished and everything is sparkling it FEELS really good! I can enjoy my space again. Perhaps you’ve noticed the very same thing after you’ve done a really good cleaning. It feels good right down the soul! :-)

When I’ve lost my physical space it’s a  reminder to check in on my spirit space as well. Just like the space in your home you have a spiritual space that may be in need of a clearing out or cleaning. In the spiritual sense, there may be energies that have “piled up” in your space. Specifically energy that isn’t yours. 

You could have picked up energy in your day-to-day encounters like work, it could be old from when you were a child or current family & friend responsibilities. There are many reasons why & how you collect up this energy but I’m going to speak of this in general terms. :-) So how do you know if you’ve lost your space? Well, that’s a really good question to ask! And the answer is….if it doesn’t feel good it’s probably not yours!

Have you ever thought or made a statement like  “I just don’t feel quite like myself today” “I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin” “There’s so much going on in my head right now”? Do you ever feel overwhelmed or have the feeling like you are unable to move? These are all indications that there are other energies in your space.

Sometimes you can be so caught up in the foreign energies and chatter you can forget who you are. When spirit is acknowledged you remember who you are and the rest merely falls away…..NO EFFORT.  I call this a miracle! As you bring back your own energy/essence everything seems a little brighter, you can manifest your dreams and create effortlessly! You FEEL GOOD in your own skin and you are comfortable being YOU!

Now the question becomes how do you get your space back? One of my good friends calls it needing to “get organized around yourself” again. I know for me one answer is meditation & grounding.  When you allow yourself the space to sit quietly behind your eyes, connect with the planet and let go of the “chatter” you will begin to find the glory that is you.

When I teach simple meditation techniques it’s amazing to watch the students as they begin to release and be in a place of *BE*ING not *DO*ING.  As a clairvoyant I see each person connecting with themselves on a deeper level and discovering their own light. When this happens even the room gets brighter!

The amazing thing about clearing out and getting your own space back is what you might find! Here is a great example in simple everyday life terms: A friend of mine was just telling me that she & her husband cleaned out their basement of all the boxes that were piled there. She mentioned that she couldn’t believe the “stuff” that had been sitting in those unopened boxes for years…a lot of which hadn’t even been unpacked since her move back from Hawaii several years ago!

As she unpacked the boxes, she began to discover pieces of herself…in her words “things I totally forgot about but that I LOVE”.  As she was describing this to me I could hear the joy & happiness in her voice of having re-discovered parts of HER! She was not only clearing out and re-owning her basement (space) but finding the joy of those parts of her she had forgotten about while in the midst of busy every day life. 

Thus it is the same with your spiritual space! The next time you feel like you aren’t quite YOU why not take a moment to reconnect with yourself, clear out the clutter and dust off your aura! You never know which parts of YOU that may have  been “forgotten”, packed away or covered up by other energies that could show up, bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart! SO THANKS MOM! Cleaning IS good for SPIRIT & SOUL!~Shine Your Light Debbie

CREATING

createHave you ever noticed how much responding we do these days? We respond to our cell phone, text messages, emails, facebook, family, friends, work. We have schedules that if you take a moment to think about them are all in one way or another responding to others. It is considered part of daily life to have obligations that must be met and so we respond. But what happened to CREATING? What are YOU creating? Is your life being dictated by always responding or are you creating and living your dream? You are a creator by design. You have the ability and capability for limitless creation!

A few weeks ago I had an interesting job opportunity present itself. Truth be told it would have been a pretty good opportunity and something I thought I needed. I was really struggling with even submitting an application. At the time, I wasn’t sure why it was so difficult for me to jump on board. I grounded, centered, meditated, cleared the energy around it but something just didn’t feel right. I wasn’t in alignment. So I called a friend to help me sort it out :-) In our conversation we talked about passion, creating and nurturing the soul. That’s when it became clear to me what didn’t feel right. It wasn’t MY path to walk! It was not my truth nor was it what I wanted. Although I created the opportunity coming to me, I was merely responding to the opportunity from a place of “need” and it would not have been the right choice for me. Of course I then began to look at my own creative energy. What is it that I WANT TO CREATE? What is MY PASSION? What do I LOVE? What do I want will nurture my very spirit and soul? It was then that I realized I had been spending most of my time responding to the external instead of creating what I wanted!

As a clairvoyant, I delight in seeing where and what you are CREATING. It reminds me that we are all creators. It’s amazing to me how much energy or pictures are that of RESPONDING. Like a veil, the energy covers up what it is you really want. Sometimes I see the energy of what you SHOULD be doing, or what you are expected to do and the energy I see is just that….ENERGY. To be clear about this, ENERGY THAT IS NOT YOU!  It can be in the form of pictures or programming, it can be energy you have collected up from others. Whatever it is for you, it may stop you from creating altogether! You may spend so much of your time responding that you forget, in a sense, who you are and what YOU want.

When I read I see your spirit, your very essence. I look at what you are creating and begin to acknowledge who you really are. When the creator part of you is acknowledged it’s as if the fog and veils lift! What you want to create for yourself begins to glow and expand. It is light & bright and THIS acknowledgement validates your spirit! So I ask you now to take a moment, center yourself and look inside. Are you creating from a place of all that you are? All you are capable of? Are you nurturing and feeding your spirit by following what’s in your heart and soul? If you find you have been spending your time responding, it’s simple to change, just find the spark that is YOU! Begin thinking of all that YOU want to create in your life and grow that spark! Expand and surround yourself with all that you are. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY AND CAPABILITY FOR LIMITLESS CREATION! GO FOR IT!
