Our Collective Consciousness Creates Our Future…

Posted on December 29, 2017 by Debra Taitel

“Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering ‘it will be happier’…”~Alfred Tennyson

As we wind down the last few days of 2017 it’s always a good mindful practice to review and call back any of our energy we have left behind. All futures are created from the present so it’s also important to remember that it is our collective UN-consciousness, along with our actions, that created where we are now.

The UN-Conscious Collective

Did I just hear a collective gasp that we are somehow responsible? The Law of Attraction works both ways my friends. What we are seeing with new, and open, eyes is that which was already there but we didn’t want to see. We were hypnotized by an underlying energy that said, “everything is A-OK, no need to look here.” We also didn’t listen when those who looked at it or experienced something different than what we thought was OK, tried to tell us.

The more we fought seeing and hearing what still needed healing, the more negativity, judgement and, at times rage, added fuel to the fire to give it life. We are seeing the flames we fueled. We are now aware of the division that was never healed so we can, as a collective, heal and return ourselves and the world to wholeness.

The Conscious Collective

So, if the collective UN-conscious created this world we live in, imagine what could be if each of us consciously and intentionally added CONSCIOUSNESS to the collective. The future is ours to create with our collective, and intentional, thoughts and subsequent actions.

As 2017 comes to a close, take time to ‘call back’ any energy you left behind. Forgive any guilt or fear or whatever you are feeling as you bring it back. Release what no longer serves you and resolve to awaken, expand and evolve. We can ALL do better so let’s all BE better.

If you’re looking for a type of New Year’s Resolution try this:

“Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing
can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness, and prosperity
to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel
that there is something in them
To look at the sunny side of everything
and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best,
and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others
as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past
and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To wear a cheerful countenance at all times
and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself
that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world,
not in loud words but great deeds.
To live in faith that the whole world is on your side
so long as you are true to the best that is in you.”~ Christian D. Larson

Personally I love that passage and the promises to self. Our collective consciousness begins with awareness of our own vibration and alignment. I would also like to add to the collective the vibration of patience. 2018 will have a bit of a rocky start as more of the energy of unconsciousness releases but trust that things will shift for the better sooner than later.

The world we live in today is a result of our collective consciousness. If we want a different world it’s up to us to create it. Let us begin the New Year by loving ourselves and giving the world the best that is in us. Let our collective consciousness add the vibration of peace and love and healing to the world.~Shine Your Light Debbie

Winter Solstice Meaning and Rituals 2017

Posted on December 20, 2017 by Debra Taitel

“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”~Albert Camus

Solstices are a time to celebrate the changing of the seasons. Depending on where you are in the world you will be experiencing either the Summer or Winter Solstice on December 21, 2017.

The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year and the Winter Solstice is the shortest. Since I live in the Northern Hemisphere I’m going to talk about the Winter Solstice on December 21, 2017. (Sorry Summer people!)

What is the Winter Solstice?

“The word solstice comes from Latin sol “sun” and sistere “to stand still.” In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward each day; the high point in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, which occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day.

At the winter solstice, the Sun’s path has reached its southernmost position. The next day, the path will advance northward. However, a few days before and after the winter solstice, the change is so slight that the Sun’s path seems to stay the same, or stand still. The Sun is directly overhead at “high-noon” on Winter Solstice at the latitude called the Tropic of Capricorn.”~Farmer’s Almanac

The Winter Solstice celebrates the longest hours of darkness. According to spiritualists it is also known as the dark night of the soul. This is the night when the veil between dimensions is the thinnest. If you take time to listen, you may hear the whispers of messages from beyond.

As we wind down the year this is the time to honor your shadow self. The Solstice is a powerful time of self-reflection, recharging, renewing and birthing new ideas. The longest night allows us to quietly reflect on the past year and to think about where we would like to focus our attention in the year to come.

“The winter solstice has always been special to me as a barren darkness that gives birth to a verdant future beyond imagination, a time of pain and withdrawal that produces something joyfully inconceivable, like a monarch butterfly masterfully extracting itself from the confines of its cocoon, bursting forth into unexpected glory.”~Gary Zukav

Winter Solstice Rituals

There are a lot of Winter Solstice rituals including “burning” pieces of paper listing those things you want to let go of. Unless you have a fabulous fireplace or a proper “burning bowl” there is another option. Light a candle or simply turn one on. (I only have electronic candles due to a cat with a very bushy tail.)

Write down what you want to let go of, hold the piece of paper to your heart and surround yourself, and whatever memory, person or situation you wrote down, with golden light of forgiveness. Allow the golden light to fill you up with love and peace and compassion. When you’re ready, put your paper in a shredder or tear it up and throw it out.

The Winter Solstice is all about the feminine “going inward”. It is a time for self-nurturing. A time to check in with your spirit and soul. As you journey within open your mind to feel, see and know the calling of your heart. In your mind’s eye visualize where you’d like to focus your energy and attention.

“Nature looks dead in winter because her life is gathered into her heart. She withers the plant down to the root that she may grow it up again fairer and stronger. She calls her family together within her inmost home to prepare them for being scattered abroad upon the face of the earth.”~Hugh Macmillan

It is said that it’s always darkest before the dawn and what lies in darkness only does so because we have not yet looked (or lit a lamp) in its space. During this beautiful time of year, light a lamp in the darkness. In fact go within and shine YOUR light!~With love and light Debbie
