January Grounding Goddess Guidance






January Grounding Goddess Guidance

January is a time for New Year resolutions and setting intentions for the upcoming year.  A new day is dawning and the Grounding Goddess is stepping forward to walk with you as you plant your intentions for 2017. Her years of wisdom and ancient knowledge will help you ground your ideas with action and swift movements forward.  

Tuning into your intuition and following your gut feelings will be instrumental in bringing all parts of yourself into the present moment. This is a time to step out of fear and into the light to expose who you really are.  Be prepared to put in the ground work so you can see the fruition of your ideas and plans for the coming year. An idea, like a seed, needs to be nurtured in order to grow.  Be committed to change and keep your feet firmly planted on the ground. Pat yourself on the back when your ideas come full circle.  There are many people out there that never finish anything!


Kangaroos are the symbol of power and strength. It is time to reassess the foundations on where you stand.  Do you have a firm foundation to support the structures on that you wish to achieve? Who are you aligning yourself with? Do they support you or weigh you down?  With Kangaroo energy you have the power to leap over your obstacles to achieve what you are striving for.   Stay centered and focused and do not allow outside distractions to interrupt you from manifesting your dreams and goals. Kangaroos only have the ability to move forward so remember to tune into your wisdom and past experiences before you set your intentions for the coming year.

 
1.       Find yourself a grounding meditation online. Sit and listen to it! Bookmark it or download it so you can revisit this meditation anytime to help you ground.  (here’s one that I found to get you started) http://www.fragrantheart.com/cms/free-audio-meditations/relaxation/the-tree

2.      Get yourself a journal, set up a blog or make a dream board so you can keep track of your intentions for 2017.

3.       Invest in some grounding crystals that you can carry on you or have close.  https://josslynstreett.wordpress.com/resources/stone-and-crystals-usage-lists/crystals-for-grounding/
 
4.       Set at least one achievable goal for the month and remember to celebrate you when it is complete. 

5.       Read this!!    

        HOW TO AVOID GETTING STUCK by Susan K Perry P.h.D

 Here are a few actions to take before you promise yourself that, this time, you’ll complete what you   start:
  • Become aware of your pattern of starting and stopping. A way to recognize a possible pattern is to list every past project you can recall. Every class, resolution, language, book, or plan you have begun. Write down why you started this activity, and when and why you stopped. Can you determine any commonalities?
  • Research more deeply into your next project before jumping in. Learn what others have experienced when aiming toward your same goal. Don’t think you’ll be the first one to learn Mandarin in a month, or the first to complete a novel that needs no revising, or the first to lose much weight and keep it off while never feeling the least bit hungry. 
  •  Know yourself and try be realistic.  Setting goals that you can’t possibly achieve, while insisting you can and you will, merely sets you up for failure.
  • Make a time line or write out a set of steps toward your goal. Adding structure to your plans can really help. So many words a day, so much time per week promised to this activity, that sort of thing. It’s not “successes” you’re counting at this point, but rather specific efforts you can realistically make. 
  • Ensure your main motivation is intrinsic. Do you really want to do this for personally meaningful reasons? Or do you think finishing your book will get you lots of money or girls (or the equivalent)? If you can find pleasure in the doing, in the learning, you won’t get as anxious when things take longer than expected.

Spirit Art Goddesses 2017




Spirit Art Goddesses 2017

Your personal growth in 2017.   I would like to share a practical tool that you can use as part of your own personal development.  Each month for 2017 (commencing in December) my commitment to you is I will share channeled information and interpret the symbology that has come through with each Spirit Art Goddess from my newly released 2017 Calendar.  With each month there will be a theme that you can work with to introduce or enhance in your own life.   I have worked with mediation and visualization for over 7 years and have personally found that it has expanded my own awareness, helped clearly define my direction in life and continues to assist in my daily spiritual growth. 

Who AM I?   If you haven’t done so already it will eventually be a question you ask yourself.   Male, female, young or old, take away societies labels and you may be standing there feeling a little lost. When something that identifies you for a long time is taken away, often we are left standing asking this very question.  Crossroads and crises in your life are often catalysts for making change.  Some may seek solace back in society by changing jobs.  Your last child heads off to school so you may decide to have another child. You might pick up a hobby, find a spiritual outlet or start up another relationship.  Have you ever felt that whatever you try to do may just be a temporary band aid?  We often look for a quick remedies or distractions to avoid dealing with real personal growth that can bring about the right changes in our lives. 

Where do I start?  The great part about a journey of personal discovery is you can start anytime you want.  Make the commitment to yourself and no matter how hard it gets be prepared to see things through and continue to move forward.  Find a group of like minded people to support you, set your intentions, watch for synchronicities and be open to change.  Be prepared to make some difficult choices and watch who walks in and out of your life.  Things will slowly start to reveal themselves and when they do, you can make conscious choices about what you really want in your life. 

Look inside yourself.  What exactly does that mean?  What defines you?  Your family, your upbringing,  society,  friendship circles, colour, race, circumstances,  emotional trauma, illness, drama, self belief, religious belief systems, the list goes on and on.  Looking inside ourselves for the answers means we need to break it all down. To dissect each experience and unravel the catacomb of emotional trauma and the expectations we place on ourselves.  Only when we know why ‘we do what we do’ can we start to make productive changes.  Bringing subconscious thoughts into our conscious minds is the first step of being self aware.  Acknowledging our deficiencies and being vulnerable is confronting, uncomfortable and forces you to make decisions that previously you may have been avoiding. This journey is not for the faint hearted, and that is why not everyone wants to go on it. 

Stop and reflect. It is important when you do any type of self development that you take time to stop and reflect.  Journaling or blogging is one way to look back at how far you have come.  If you are more visual then dream boards might be the way to go.   Rewarding yourself for completing tasks or implementing change is another way to stop and reflect on your personal achievements.   Often when we have to make difficult choices it is important to set up your support systems beforehand and quite often we need time after to let the dust settle before we get ourselves back on track. Time out and reflection gives us an opportunity to see how far we have come.  Keep in mind the higher you climb the more you can see. 

I encourage you to be open and to give yourself permission to change.  Use my monthly readings and personal experiences to evolve yourself.  Embrace this opportunity and be open to what the universe has to offer you.
