6 SIGNS YOU ARE SHIFTING LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

As I teeter on the edge of my own transformation, I now realize that I have been shifting levels of consciousness throughout my whole life. My awakening to this has helped me greatly to release old ways, patterns and beliefs I was taught. Beliefs mixed with lies, patterns I developed to survive and expectations others had for me that were not in my best interest. As I continue to re-create the life, I want, I remain grateful to all who where in my life and helped me in both positive and negative ways to get to where I am today. My responsibility lies within the choices I made, but ultimately all roads lead to God, our creator and all lessons were for my journey. Thank you!

In the past few years, I felt called to leave my southern Ontario home and move north. This calling was confirmed many times to me before I made the leap. I quit my job, retired and moved to a place that held the right frequency for me to grow. This was not an easy task. I left many family & friends that I loved and enjoyed being around. I believed it was necessary for my spiritual growth and so I surrendered to the call.

My life now is a continuous lesson of connecting to nature, people and places. I feel physically better, emotionally stable and mentally clear. I am stronger, healthier and happier. I’m blaming it on the smell of cedar and pine trees that put me in a state of bliss every time it rains. My home is not as nice as any of the homes I had before but it is what I need. The location is the blessing and the space to wander is inspiring. I see and hear God’s spirit here because it is quiet.

Yes, there are many times I am alone and have to work through that sticky energy but I am evolving. I am impressed at my creativity and the new skills I am acquiring.  I am even at the point that I crave that alone time. The world around me does feel different as I manifest new opportunities and surrender to the flow. I don’t know where this is going but I know something good this way comes!

How about you? Are you feeling any of these 6 signs of shifting your level of consciousness?

  1. You want to spend a lot of time alone. You are no longer in “harmony” with your old life, friendships or environment.
  2. You feel a strong need to move house, quit a job or move to a new place because your environment no longer “feels right”.
  3. You begin to experience periods of “manifestation on demand”, miracles and super flow as you experience your new vibration.
  4. The world around you feels different as if you’ve stepped into a new reality.
  5. New opportunities, relationships and abundance turn up, seemingly out of nowhere.
  6. You feel confused and uncertain but you know something incredible is coming. @lorenirlin

For the next two weeks I am going to post some different meditations that have helped me relax, connect, and surrender to the infinite connection we all have with ourselves and our creator. Be kind to yourself and let go of all that dark, negative, icky goo stuff we often hide within ourselves. It’s time for your metamorphosis; it’s time to become your authentic self, the person you came here to be.

I don’t know about you, but I have had enough of all this evil, sick, self-centered, egotistical patterns. It’s time to release people, places, and things in our life who do not have our best interest and stand firm as a divine sovereign being. It is time to shift your consciousness to love.

Love is our new paradigm. Love, after all, is what we all seek!

Love is the answer to every question.

YOU ARE LOVE

Lesson 5 “The goldmine is within you”

In 13th Century Afghanistan a fascinating poet by the name of Rumi, said something very powerful. “Every mortal will eventually taste death but only some of them will taste life”

This is so true because every single day the question we should be asking ourselves is “Are we living life?” Why are you looking to the world to provide for you when the goldmine is within you. It’s our inner bonding that matters. Words are pretext. It is the inner bonding of gifts, abilities, resonance from subconscious to consciousness, that draws some person to another, not words.

It’s time to grasp this life lesson with both hands. It’s time to get in touch with the voice within your heart and soul. How it speaks, the difference between it and the worldly voices we are forced to listen to each day, the wisdom that waits and the encouragement lying in wonder. We can do this by closing our eyes and listening to our surroundings, music, and to nature. We can also let go and do a dance in rhythm to what we hear, probably for extroverts only. Putting ourselves in this state of self-love, calmness and ease, will help us develop our goldmines.

So the next time your bored don’t be afraid to be alone, be silent, it’s an opportunity to listen to your inner voice, thoughts and emotions and to discover the goldmine within you. The world within us is vast and the roads to access it are multiple. When you fill your inner world you might just find yourself doing the whirling dervish dance, while raising your vibrations!

Lesson 3

DO WHAT YOU LOVE

As you journey forward you will find there is something that moves your heart, something you love or something that you do that others may not. Find it!

“Let yourself be silently drawn

by the strange pull of what you really love.

It will not lead you astray”.

For me it is the many ways I can find that allow my creativity to escape. Inspiration is the key for all creativity. There are as many ways to be inspired as there are stars in the heavens. Whether it is by painting, knitting, photography, journaling, traveling to places or by my favourite, writing poetry, I look for inspiration whatever I am. Today, I decided to take a walk and immerse myself in nature. I am surrounded by a boreal forest on an in-land lake cradled under a picturesque waterfall escaping over a rocky ledge. I know the view alone is inspiring! I find myself taking pictures that sometimes hit Instagram, although they never portray the depth of seeing it with the naked eye. The stillness, so serene, has no voice, you just breath it in and it becomes a part of you. My body now filled walks a little more until I hear the flurry of excitement.

A flock of snowbirds

enters the scene

tiny wings fluttering

as they devour the cedar

the tree explodes in a

blast of energy

as they fly branch to branch

tasting

the cedar tips laden with

recent snow

create a new storm

as snow falls with each

birds fluster

once done they all fly away

joined at the hip

in community

off to another forest friend

exposing the scene back to me

the stillness of a tree

nestled on the edge

of an in-land lake

my mind blanketed by the experience

inspired me to write

What is it that you love to do? What brings you Joy? Today I challenge you to move towards that which is meaningful to you and there you will find your uniqueness and your joy!

Namaste Tribe, Jacqueline

Lesson 2-CHANGE YOURSELF TO CHANGE THE WORLD

When you let go of who you are, you become who you might be. Deep, very deep! I took a moment in time many years ago as a young adult and asked “Who am I?” When I looked within I saw everyone else except myself. I was the creation of all my parents wants & desires, my societies expectations and even as a soldier, my countries enlisted responsibilities and demands. I was a figment of everyone else’s imaginations. That was the beginning of my awakening. Who I was in the 1990’s is not the same person I am today, nor should it be.

In this lesson we are called to not be satisfied with the stories that made us. Who you are now is who you want to become. I’m here to tell you to forget everyone else’s expectations. Live your life where you fear to live. Be notorious, be brave. Once we begin the journey of shadow work we end up in a place where we should be asking ourselves some very big questions. Questions like; who am I, what do I believe, what do I want, where do I belong and where will I be in 5 years? Taking the steps to self orient is a step in the right direction. Who might you be in this age of re-defining oneself? You could possibly be an inventor, a creator, a warrior, a spiritual way shower.

In retrospect I am no different than you. I live and breathe and have my being enjoying my body, my life, sometimes living and learning my lessons the hard way. I have been to the bottom of a bottle and to a mountain’s highest peak but it is in the middle spaces we live. Since a child I have always known I am different.  I have always been pulled towards psychology and towards the spiritual realm. These were my first two loves. My being has always had a mission and that is to uplift humanity.

The intension of my poetry is to open you up to the spiritual possibilities, heal the land, the separation between us and remind you of the sovereign being that you are.

Here’s hoping I accomplish this great task!

The Life of a Poet

Today begins a seven part series concentrating on the 7 life lessons from RUMI and how I am applying them to my life.

For those of you who don’t know, RUMI was a Persian poet, Islamic scholar and Sufi Mystic. Born in Afganistan on September 30, 1207 and died in Turkiye December 17, 1273. Rumi was on of the great spiritual masters and poetic geniuses of mankind. His works discuss the concept of God and the definition of love. According to Rumi’s philosophy, life should be a journey to union with the one true God.

Rumi’s most famous poems include “On the turn”, “When I die”, and “The gifts of the beloved”. According to the New Yorker article “The erasure of Islam from the Poetry of Rumi” Jan. 5 2017 by Rozina Ali, “Rumi is the best selling poet in the United States. Although a lifelong scholar of Islam Rumi was less frequently described as a Muslim. Whether it is a newer rendition on Rumi’s poetry or an exact translation by a Muslim cleric, Rumi understood there is a space between right-doing (religion) and wrong-doing (infidelity) where he meets us”. A space of compassion and love that Rumi put forward more than seven hundred years ago that is still a teachable moment for us today.

Rumi saw us all as one and his doctrine of peace and love advocates tolerance, reasoning, and charity with the same eye as Muslims, Jews, Christians and others. Love is what keeps us alive.

“Your task is not to seek for love,

but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself

that you have built against it”

Rumi

Self empowerment and spiritual development are timeless. Our ascension lies in moving beyond the boundaries of a mere human to much higher aspirations of who we want to become. Rumi’s 7 life lessons are a pathway. It is only with each step we take, that our lives will unveil our potential.

Join me each Sunday as I present each lesson and share how I am following this path to open my heart so I can receive more love and compassion this year.

It’s time to shine your light Tribe,

Jacqueline

7 Powerful questions to ask yourself before you step into 2023

Happy new year by Library of Congress is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0

Do you create a New Years Resolutions list each year in the hopes of changing the things that don’t resonate anymore? I’m here to say hold on! 2023 can be your quantum leap.

Creating a place of authenticity means investing in yourself. Reconnecting to your abilities, responsibilities and believing in yourself starts with answering the following questions created by Kerry k.

Question #1 “Where am I neglecting myself?”

Often the answer to this question is not obvious. By sitting and connecting to your feelings, and I don’t mean analyzing yourself, just allow your feelings to rise as you ask this question. When did your over investment in others over take your priority to yourself? You can not give to others what you yourself do not have within. Others will create priority for their own needs if you allow them. Yes, I know we all have people who depend upon us but there has to be a balance. When you start to question where others put you on their priority list, you begin to awaken from the dream. Others can not give to you anything you have not given to yourself. When we ask others to give you quality time, to focus on your relationship or pay attention to your needs, you lose sight of who really comes first. YOU come first, so prioritize yourself.

Question #2 “Am I learning to validate what I cannot see?”

So many of us have been gas lighted by our family, friends or acquaintances who are mostly trying to compete with us. Many of us having non validating conversations, superficial relationships with me-centered beings. Their truths being thrown at us to be absorbed as our own. Holding your truth and validating your own feelings and experiences should never be compromised. Use your discernment and intuition and allow your heart to lead you. You will never be led astray.

Question #3 “Can you be true to yourself?”

In the traditional sense boundaries can be limiting and inhibiting, sometimes placing a wall between you and those in your life. Although using a higher version of self-honor with integrity, you can create healthy boundaries. Behaviors seen in others that you do not like, often gets you to thinking “am I not honoring myself?” Make your life about you’re own behavior. By self-honoring, your issuing a decree that says you will be treated by a better, expanded standard. By having this attitude and taking personal responsibility for yourself, this will create a huge catalyst for personal growth.

Question #4 “Have I practiced saying NO to others?”

Saying NO is a standard not a boundary. You can not do more for others then you do for yourself. When you say no to others do so with a higher frequency of love. Say it in a way that does not shut them off or shut them out. Do so without bias, prejudice or alienating them. Say No without shutting yourself down! Say I need, promised, scheduled etc….. right now, and can not be available, do this, or take care of that…… for you. Growing up means letting your YES be YES and your NO be NO.

Question #5 “Can you say YES to yourself?”

This is a technique that requires receptivity and connection to self. You can only say yes to yourself first before expecting others to say yes to you. Invest in yourself so you can give to others in the world. Today that might look like healing, recovery, silence, and time to sit & read. Tomorrow it might be an interlude with abundance. Your needs are not stationary they require an action and being in a mind set of receptivity. Your needs require a connection to yourself and an agreement to invest in YOU. It’s ok now to ask yourself what the hell are my needs?

Question #6 “Am I able to recognize the difference between Love and Self-compromise?”

The words love and self compromise are different and have different meanings but in relationships they look the same. Most of the time you don’t see self-compromise until you feel rotten, bitter, miserable, depleted and fatigued. When you realize that your energy has been sucked out of you and the only people standing around looking back at you are your loved ones. Addressing this question requires you to look back and see where you self-compromised yourself in the past. Did you see it coming then? Follow the pattern forward. Do you see it now? Self -Love needs to come before Love because it is the foundation or pillar of who you are. Your being has to be filled with love in order for you to share it with others. Then it is your responsibility, not others, for filling your cup up and over flowing. Self love is an action you perform to invest in your own life!

Question #7 “Who am I sacrificing myself for?”

Lastly, this is where we meet the martyr within. Who in your life are you giving away your free time, love and energy to? Did they specifically ask you to do all those things for them? Did your self sacrifice serve them, uplift them or benefit them? I’m here to let you in on a dirty little truth we rarely talk about. “No one benefits from self sacrifice”. You do not benefit nor do others; in fact, you are depriving them of their own self growth. Balance is needed here, if not, you will become bitter, resentful, and fatigued emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. You staying small serves no one!

It’s time for you to validate yourself and get into a commitment with yourself. When you self monitor you become;

The highest version of you and you serve the most people

The wisest version of you and you have the greatest wisdom to give

The most loving version of you and you can love the most people

The most abundant version of you and you can give the most!

Start 2023 with openness and a commitment to yourself so that the path ahead of you is paved with great intentions for living your best life!

Happy New Years Tribe

Namaste,

Jacqueline

March Rant

Hello and happy spring to all of you! Today marks the third year I have started blogging and it is the 13th anniversary of Lisa’s death. My how time fly’s and answers still remain elusive as the day she died. As I teeter on the edge I am beginning to realize that it has turned into a wonderful hike. I feel the cool air as I breath in the poison and I am surrounded by deciduous beings blasting out healing energy as I carry on. Two things spring to mind as some of the lessons I have learned, not only of Lisa’s death but for every death that followed hers, and there have been many. This is my flowing list;

My father, Uncle Eddy, Scott, Jenny, Heidi, Shadow, cousin Julie, Uncle Roger, Gwen, Ricky-lee, Rick, Barry, cousin Gloria, cousin George, Neighbors, work acquaintances, and now my Aunt Edna. I still feel like I am leaving someone out.

Firstly “TIME” does help with healing as I crawl my way back onto my path. I now walk with confidence that tomorrow is another day to deal with my emotions, which has become a daily process of acknowledging, receiving, feeling and releasing them. It is a very human problem to push them aside and hide them until we are forced to feel them again. I have learned it is better to get it over with and fill the void with LOVE. Let love in! Love of self, love of the memories, love for each moment I am living. Prayer & meditation have helped me and promising myself to live each day being as authentic and truthful to my journey helps keep me grounded.

Secondly, LOVE never fades for those we long to hold. Finding love, experiencing love and letting love go is the lesson we are here to experience. If love is the greatest feeling we can experience and fear the most profound opposite then I have learned my lessons. For to let love go one must conquer the fear and begin to live again. If we don’t, death will overcome our hearts and we will remain stagnant spiraling into non existence. Love is the answer to every question and the prize at the end of our journey. As I teeter on the edge of my journey I remind you to love your way and through TIME,

the future will prove the past!

Spring Forward,

Jacqueline

What is spirituality?

Spirituality is the soul’s search for God. It is connecting the human form to a higher dimensional being.

God, creator, source, whatever you want to call him/her/them, says we are made in their image. Genesis 1:26 “Let us make man (male & female) in our image, after our likeness; let them have dominion over…” Genesis 1:27 “Male and female he created them.” and Genesis 2:7 “and man (we) became a living creature.”

What image is God talking about? I believe it is the image of LOVE. Love is the greatest force, energy and expectation that we are to strive towards as a living creature. This is why in Matthew 22:37 of the new testament, Jesus took the 10 commandments and brought them down to two, “Love God with all your heart, soul and mind, this is the first and greatest commandment.” The second being “Love your neighbor as yourself. All the law and the prophets land on these two commandments.” Love is the image of which we as male & female are sent forth to create and experience life.

Love is the fractal that resides in us that is the God, source, creator part. Spirituality is the soul’s search for our creator. Once realized, it reaffirms that we do not need a priest, pastor or guru to connect us to our creator. Once we realize we possess Love, we can connect to the God fractal within us thus connecting to God. Love comes in different forms. Self love is the gratefulness we feel for our bodies, our time and our breath each day. Love for others is the action we put into caring, supporting and relating to others and spirituality is the heavenly love for our creator. It is this connection that reminds us we are not alone.

As a fractal of God, we can reside and acknowledge our greater self, mission and tribe through our spiritual connections. This happens when we bring down the many forms of love into our heart & soul, thus raising our vibrations. It is through the vibration of love that the God outside of us connects to the God within us. This is also the process of manifestation and creation of our hearts desires. It is here in this bigger picture, that we strive to attain and exist, as we live each day being bombarded by the lower frequency energies.

John 4:24 – “God is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

If God is spirit we should be spiritual!

Sending LOVE to all of you,

Jacqueline
