June Solstice 2022

This morning I saw the sunrise. It rises now at 5:10 am. I came back from the beach and took a warm shower, followed by a cool rinse. I crawled into bed behind Jim and stayed as long as I could. My midsection was like a magnetic anchor tied to him and to the bed. My brain was telling me to get up, but my belly overrode the request. I eventually got up and did the Shambhavi Mahamudra. I put on my ripped knee jeans, a white t and my cashmere duster. I made Janelle's lunch and Nana picked her up for school. I put in a load of laundry.

My current work space, north and east facing windows.

It wasn't until I came in here to write that I began to feel the excitement for the moment, for the day. The sunlight streams into the window at 8am with brilliance.

I have Neem leaves, turmeric, honey and a few Darjeeling leaves in my tea cup basket. What a blessed life I lead. Grateful I Am to know it.

Neem Leaves, Turmeric, Darjeeling Leaves, Honey

Solstice Moment- what is it asking?

I sat without moving or speaking or praying for several minutes this morning. I would have sat longer were I not pulled by schedules. I feel the deep stillness pulling me into alignment with Earth and Cosmos.

The Solstice is asking me to survey my world from the peak of the mountain. In the journey-of-time, we peak and trough. Existence is squeezing us, respirating us into each moment of life. The Solstice says, pause. Listen, there is an opportunity now to change-over. Take the highest gifts of heightened light or darkness. Drop your memory card out the bottom. Make an exchange.

THemes I want to carry forward into the mother-time of 2022

I want to carry engagement, community connection, and one to one service forward with me into the Mother's time of the year. I want the Mother Time to teach me about natural rhythm, self care, having all my feelings and showing up to the task. I want the Mother Time to teach me about stillness and activity, the rolling cycles that act like tides, the chaos of creation. I welcome the Dark Mother to now begin her journey into my heart, loins, psyche, power center, and throat. The show will go on and it will be with pleasure. It will be honoring of the Divine Human, the Homo Christos, the Wild Divine Feminine. Mother Earth's heartbeat will become my own.

2022 Forecast

As I dance into 2022, my power grows, my trust deepens and increases. I surrender myself even more to the unconditional love which moves and sustains my body. My desires are fulfilled. Each fulfilled desire creates a space for a new one. I delight in watching my desires get born. I allow the universal principle and law, The Divine Mother God, Source Fabric, to show me who I am by matching these desires.

Opening the veil. Creating Magick. Making Declarations.

Tangible Things I want to have, Create, and experience this year

I want to stay at the enchantment resort with Jim. I want to attend the 2023 Dolphin retreat with the Sophia Code leaders. I want to create high vibe containers for people to accelerate their ascension. I want to be paid to do one to one sessions with people. I want to attend the Equine Immersive with Kaia Ra this fall. I want to host a Sophia Circle Journey® for people in Asia. I want to create a program that gets people ready for a Sophia Circle Journey. I want increasingly to create opportunities for myself to lead, and to show up to those opportunities with Presence and Sophia God Consciousness doing the heavy lifting. I want to do the temple keeping and the facilitating.

Views from Enchantment Resort in Sedona, AZ. I stayed here for a 5 day retreat in 2017. It changed my entire understanding of life on Earth.

not doing this alone!

I'm asking for all the support I can receive from my family, partner, community, Higher Self, angelic and ascended master guides, the galactic councils my light-worker friends, my inner angels, parallel life gifts, skills and leadership. Sophia Gaia, the elements, the fairies, the gnomes, the animals, plants, birds, minerals, trees. In return I give my full devotion to ascension, to love, to health and happiness, growth and wellbeing for all, to the rising of human consciousness, to being a divine human conduit of source God I am. I will merge with the Light of Truth, allowing all fear, pain, trauma, misunderstanding, chains, lack consciousness, competition, survival, unworthiness, shame, blame, victimhood, perpetrator hood, Savior hood, drama, manipulations, Mind Control, Mind Games sexual misuse, and attacking of innocence to be seen and beheld in it's true, non-illusionary form, as pure creation energy.

Divine Father Drop-In

AS THE CREATOR, I DECIDE HOW I WANT TO PERCEIVE WHAT I AM. MAY ALL MATTER REARRANGE IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ALL SEEING, ALL KNOWING, OMNISCIENT POWER. NONE IS BUT ME. HEAR THE ROAR OF MY DIVINE LAUGHTER.

wow, thanks dad!

Human Pledge

Practically, we will take care. We will take steps. We will listen. We will devote. We will practice. We will dedicate. We will invite. We will be humble. We will not apologize for our light. We behold the dark. We are Here Now, Present, Compassionate, Creative, Kind. Amen.

Yes, Thank You, I Accept, I Receive

Is your life really worth living?

This post is for people who’ve experienced or are experiencing mild depression, anxiety, or some other form of psycho-emotional suffering, and just can’t seem to make life “work” for them. 

Sometimes it all seems pointless. Looking outside, you see lots of problems. Turning attention within, you find numbness, apathy, or acute pain. Nothing really grabs you, makes love to you, or intoxicates you with its presence.

Image by Paola Chaaya

Whether you are feeling a vague sense of numbness, or an acute psycho-emotional pain, I feel you and can relate.

In my darkest moments of mental and emotional anguish, I just couldn’t figure out how to solve the problem of my irreconcilable life. I couldn’t draw the map to happiness from where I was, and it felt unbearable to be so far away.

I’d constructed a cage around myself and then bashed my head against the bars, giving myself over to suffering and pain. These patterns need to be stopped in their tracks, and then turned around slowly.

Anyone asking, "Is life really worth living?"  has become woefully detached from the truth that they are, simply, LIFE.

A suicidal person is grappling with this question in a very real way. One experienced suicide prevention therapist that I had the pleasure of knowing explained the mentality of a suicidal person this way: “I don’t necessarily want to die, but I can’t work out how to live. Its all about “I’m hurting and I don’t know how to work it out”.  

Life always wants more life. Life strives to live, regardless of circumstances. Have you observed this truth in nature? So then, what has happened to the lives in question?

We are all the owners of a wonderful tool known as a mind. A lot of minds in our "age of information" have gathered so much of the stuff that they've become locked in "knowing", which is like an actual cage preventing life from touching them. Life can only be experienced, and never known. Much of human consumption is driven by this hunger for more life.

The human system is amazing and complex. It can be used to create almost any experience we desire. One key component in this creation is water, which holds memory. Human bodies are more than 50% water. This is wonderful, because it means we can program ourselves the way we want to a large degree. On the flip side though, it also means our bodies are all full of the trauma of being human, and most of that trauma has never received the loving attention it needs to be set free. That trauma then feeds our thoughts and emotional patterns, essentially recreating itself over and over until the sequence is somehow interrupted.

Truth: There isn’t any distance between you and your ultimate happiness. You can go from suicidal thoughts to ecstatic bliss in an instant. But the path may still feel long and arduous, because unwinding the habits that created your misery can take a lot of time and effort. 

In my life, I’ve noticed there are 2 parts to this unwinding that feed and cycle into each other:

1. Attaining profoundness of experience

2. Regular, disciplined practice which creates a suitable environment for profoundness of experience to occur.

"The success of a human life is measured in the profoundness of its experience." -Sadhguru, Living Yogi and Mystic

---

When your experience becomes profound, even momentarily, all questions of life's worth are dropped. Even ONE profound moment can propel a person forward to seek another one for YEARS. Something is profound when it enlivens you, touches you deeply, bi-passes your mind, and imprints upon your being.

Consider the facts: Life on Earth is an absolute miracle, arising from the vastness of a mostly nothing universe. The fact that life has evolved into a species as complex and empowered as human beings, with the ability to consciously create whatever it wants, is striking beyond understanding. Life for a human being is a very fleeting experience, in the grand scheme of things. Given all this, you'd think we'd all be ecstatic, right? But we're not, because we're all living in self-constructed realities instead of in this miracle of life. If you don't feel anything at all when reading this, it's ok- it just means you're stuck in your mind.

---

What if life could be a playground of experiment, discovery, and celebration? If your feelings were overwhelmingly positive, would life be worth living then?

Conscious seeking requires a certain stability of life.  If you've gone beyond basic survival, you have this stability. If you can function normally through most days, you have this stability.

So, "is your life really worth living?" The answer is yes, of course it is, because your life has the potential to become anything you want it to be. But is it worth living, the way it is right now? Maybe the answer is, "not really."  It’s important to admit it if we've lost our vital connection to life, and to really feel the pain of that. The good news in this case, I think, is that the pain says “we are far off from the truth, the natural state of things.” And we desire to improve our condition. This desire draws us into new territories, expanding our awareness and reaching for something better. In cases of strong constitution, that existential pain drives the evolution of the individual.  

If your relationship with life deepens, your heart softens and your mind expands into the greater mind of creation, if you connect to the place within you where all life arises, your life will become more profound.  All of this can happen in infinitely many ways. All you need is one profound moment, and you can keep it in your heart and let its' frequency draw more of these experiences to you.

Luckily for us, in this "Age of Information", we have access to so much art, so many teachers, programs, group healing experiences.  Maybe something has been calling to you and this is your prompt to go do it. If you have no idea where to go from here, my recommendation is to do the Inner Engineering program with Isha Center.  It can all be done from your house, and is guaranteed to set you in the right direction. Definitely DO the Upa yoga practices they recommend. Though I've been having profound experiences for years, doing these practices recently gave me a much more stable platform to expand from. They are excellent, and work for everyone.

If you are suffering, I feel your struggle. I don't mind telling you that my life requires a focused effort to live well. Basically I am healing an addiction to feeling bad, and suffering negative thoughts. Like healing any addiction, it takes effort and it is not a linear process. However, every effort has been more than worth it.

Your life, no matter its condition, is definitely worth living. My wish for you if you're struggling, is that your heart opens and brings you some relief.

If you don't exercise at all, or not much, start with that. Get outside for a walk, move, stretch, get your blood flowing. Consume less media, especially the kind that leaves you feeling hopeless, numb, anxious, or depressed. Use this link and sign up for Inner Engineering. 

Let's pursue more life together.

Element Series- Fire

Insomnia, Nighttime anxiety attacks, and the Fire Element

Sometimes I wake up hours before morning light with a fire in my head. Swirling thoughts creating a cloud of stimulation are picked up by my endocrine system, and many alerts are sent through my body. The chemicals may be released in bursts, like those fun little mushrooms that you can squeeze to produce a poof cloud of spores.

I’ve spent many hours and even some full nights captivated, a prisoner to my mind’s power. On a recent night though, something awesome happened and I want to share it.

I woke up at 3am with the familiar feeling that the lights, several fans, and a radio had all been switched on in my head. I felt my body react to certain thoughts that were produced out of this chaos, picking them up and transmuting them into chemical messengers. I’ve described this feeling as “melting”, and “waves of liquifying energy running through my major organs”.

My body felt startled and began producing adrenaline and other stress chemicals. Suddenly, I became aware that the element of fire was very present within me. A fire was burning in my head, which is an area dominated by thoughts and the AIR element. Everyone knows the result when fire and air are brought together. Intuitively I knew I should move the fire out of my head, and was surprised to find it was easy to do this.

It can feel like these downloads or sudden realizations fall from the sky (or, seem to appear out of nowhere). But really it has to do with grace, and a lot of making yourself available to it.

Using my imagination, I lowered the burning fire down into my gut, where the heat was welcomed and contained. The fire happily warmed the hearth of my lower belly, eating up the dense, organic, earthy material there. Relief was immediate, and I started to feel sleepy.

I had to move the fire down several more times before falling back to sleep, but this new technique worked 100%. As I would start falling asleep and lose concentration, the fire would rise to its habitual position in my head. Shortly though, I’d managed to dampen it by burning whatever was hanging out in my gut. I fell back into blissful sleep.

Become aware of the interplay of Elements within you

My awareness allows me to witness the interplay of elements within my physical and energetic system. The five elements are earth, air, fire, water, and ether/space. Learning to work with them artfully, masterfully, is something I feel positively curious about. There is a greater purpose to my sharing this information than just telling the story. I’m tapping into a wisdom that ancient cultures have known for a very long time, and could be useful for you, too.

Simply reading this story may open a new awareness to the elements within you. Words are codes, and they carry the information present during their composition. It’s interesting to notice how you feel after reading others’ words. It’s interesting to explore what can be awakened within you simply by reading a collection of words.

Use Fire for Transformation

It is possible to conjure metaphysical elements and use them for your benefit. During the last purnima (full moon) of the year, international leader and mystic Sadhguru led myself and many others through an intense breath work meditation. We used a fast in-and-out of the mouth breath to create a white hot fire inside our bodies, intending to burn away anything that has kept us from full expression of our life force. Fear, doubt, worry, worthlessness- any and all negativity were targeted. I could feel the intense heat in my body, and had to stop several times to cool down.

After the ceremony, the congestion in my body which had been causing pain and headaches all day was gone. The fire had dried it right out. Very liberating.

Importance of Elemental Balance

As you become aware of the elements present within you, and learn how to use them to attain specific outcomes, balancing them will become important too. The fire-breath exercise was done while visualizing that we were sitting beneath the ocean, with 100 feet of water above. Why? because fire is hot. Even metaphysical fire. You know the saying, if you play with fire you’re gonna get burned! But when in balance and used appropriately, fire can be the right tool for the job.

Try it Now

You can do this yourself. Breathe full breaths in and out of your mouth, all the way down to your toes, for 2-3 minutes with your eyes closed. As your cells light up with oxygen, imagine a fire burning within and all around you, growing bright white hot. Feel any heaviness, unhealthy connections, negativity, stagnation, doubt, or fear being burned up and released. Take a cool shower afterward if you can. This will feel great and help a lot with the clearing process.

Fire and Emotion- Anger

We can use elemental metaphors to master emotions , too. Anger is a fiery emotion, along with passion. We might label one as good, the other as negative - but they are neither. They are each the element of fire, expressed as emotion. How you use it is everything.

A lot of emotions are related to the fire element. When going in to manage a group of people or to have a conversation with your significant other, you may ask some questions to “take the temperature” of the person or situation. The fire element relates to temperature, whether hot or cold.

Here are some insights to anger that I channeled while journaling for a class on healing trauma:

🌬🔥 Anger sometimes lashes out. It leaps forward to encounter the perceived foe. Anger is a warrior, a wounded warrior.

🌬🔥 Anger can arise in response to helplessness, inequality, or injustice. Anger is telling me something is WRONG. Anger arises to create a space between me and something I feel helpless about.

🌬🔥 When undirected, anger can act as a bomb, ripping through my own body, hopefully without projectiles being lodged into others. I fear the destructive power.

🌬🔥 I can manage anger through the power of love, compassion, and prayer. I can move anger to parts of my body that can sustain hearth fires. Long, slow burns allow me to direct the heat towards the ice of trauma, melting it if I am careful.

🌬🔥 I trust that my body is capable of managing any emotion that arises within it. As long as I don't hold on, creating contortions in my body with which to trap the emotions, I will thrive.

🌬🔥 Anger and sadness are sisters. They are two sides of the same coin. They are twin horses. Anger with nothing to act upon will turn to sadness. Sadness that is provoked will become anger.

How can I control anger? Is anger safe to have around others? What should I do with it?

🌎💧 Walk away, use it to speak truth, let it flow out of you with tears. Find a way to express it without targeting another. Anger is fire, burn what no longer serves you.

I hope you enjoyed this piece on fire, how the fire element can show up in your life and how you can use it for your benefit.

What Ascension Is, and ISN'T

It’s time to normalize Ascension for our people.

It’s time to bring this process into our every day conversations, and off the scary nag champa scented altars of a well- meaning , albeit ungrounded “New Age” movement.

That time has passed, and ascension is Now. Every moment. Every day. For Every one.

So here is a quick list I compiled.

First, lets clear some of the distortions around the word “Ascension”.

Think, “I clear and release all of the following beliefs which are not serving my greatest expansion now”:

ASCENSION IS NOT:

Something to Do

Something Elite

Something you can mess up

Dangerous

The end of your journey

An escape from your life

Woo-woo bullshit

A belief system

Something to cling on to

Something to hide

Something to hide BEHIND

Weird

Ungrounded

Abnormal

Something to be worthy of

Something you need to understand

Made up in your imagination (unreal)

Something to strive for or stress about

SCI-FI

Something to be defined by

Something that separates you from others

Exclusive

Well, what is it then?

Definitions, truly, are laughable in a quantum reality where all is potential. And this is the reality we are ascending into. However, the words here are a bridge to that reality. They approximate the true nature of ascension in a way our human vehicles can interact with.

Ascension IS:

A natural evolutionary process 

Available now in an accelerated way

A Joyful Expansion

A return to Original Consciousness

A vehicle for transforming the world around you

Something to relax into

Genetic transmutation

Masterful orchestration by your Higher Self

Enhanced by sharing with others

A Miracle

Something to be celebrated 

Something to Trust

Something to See, Feel, and Perceive in ever-increasing measure

Freedom from the constructs of space and time

Transcending purely dualistic experience

Allowing your Holy Spirit to come down and play

Becoming More of Yourself

Occurring on all 4 levels of being (Physical, Emotional, Mental, Spiritual

Sound familiar? :)

Many blessings to all <3

Love, Chelsie

ARE YOU ON THE BRIDGE?

When I think about being on the bridge, Ariella Indigo comes to mind, as well as my soul wealth transformation coach Corinna Steward. The Bridge is the faith walk we all must take to come into full activation of our soul's gifts in this life. Ariella talks about the point where she quit a high paying corporate job, changed her name publicly, and went on to live in a van for 2 years while activating the full potential of her gifts. High levels of trust there! Though there will be many times on this path where we will be asked to take a faith walk of some sort, there is a single defining point where we must cross over from living in our heads to living from our hearts.

I am on this bridge now, and if you are too, or will be in the near future, I want to share with you the things that are CRUCIAL to my integration of this crossing RIGHT NOW:

• IMMERSION in the frequencies that are Home to my Soul

  • I'm referring primarily to my work with The Sophia Code. If you haven't heard of it, it is a Sacred Text, divine mystery school, and a spiritual technological system for mentoring your consciousness in becoming the Ascended Master, Immaculate Birther of New World Paradigms that your soul came here to embody. If those words light up your heart I encourage you to look into it ASAP. 

  • There are many amazing resources of frequency out there. If you've identified a body of work, a teacher, a community, an artist, or what have you, that holds the entirety of your being and raises your vibration to the level you aspire to, I recommend immersing yourself in it every day if you haven't already. Having this kind of support DAILY is crucial to your transformation.

• TAKING INSPIRED ACTION when it is ALIGNED with my HEART

  • A lot of the time this will have to do with money - either making an investment in yourself by hiring a coach, joining a program, going to a seminar or retreat, etc- or "giving up" money by leaving a job even after you've been offered a raise, turning down clients that don't resonate with who you are becoming, or not taking money from someone whom you're in a codependent relationship with because it doesn't feel right. When making this decision there will be a distinct separation between your head and your heart. Your head will tell you it doesn't make ANY sense to do what you're called to do, and you'll feel contracted when you consider it from that place. On the contrary, when you're in your heart, the field of possibility will feel open and free, like the path has been lit up in front of you. The decision will feel light from that place. Why money? Because your money IS you, it is a representation of how you are valuing yourself. This is not the case in every situation, but it IS the case for heart-centered, soul aligned individuals crossing the bridge into the New Earth. 

  • Inspired action will often feel RISKY, and force you to face your fears of being vulnerable. This could be anything that calls you out into the spotlight as the leader you meant to be. 

• Cellular Detoxification and Regeneration through LIVINGMUCUSFREE with Alex Cousins

  • The New Human doesn't just touch the heavens, they ARE ONE WITH the heavens. This means ALL of our bodies must ascend- physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual/causal.  In order for that to happen, we must create space and a new chemical environment for our angelic DNA to activate and integrate with our carbon based DNA. Creating that chemistry requires all systems to work together - thoughts, feelings and tissues have to be purified. Cellular detoxification and regeneration is an art form that can take 7-9 years to complete. If you are called, you will know. 

  • I've only just begun this journey, but I can already say it is a HUGE part of full bodied Ascension. After my first 3-day cleanse and 14 day fruit fast, i'd lost 20 lbs of waste, confronted some intense emotions related to food and pleasure and my inner child, and had some profound spiritual experiences. It is all the things. 

• PHYSICAL GROUNDING with KETTLEBELLS, Barefoot in the Grass! 

  • I'm so glad it's late spring here in the northern hemisphere, because training outside, barefoot, has been so helpful for grounding the energetic activity happening up above. I haven't discovered anything more centering to my mind than strength practice and conditioning. Manipulating pieces of iron that threaten to crush you, really forces you to stay focused on your body in the present moment! It sounds stressful but it's not - it's just pure focus. My body loves to move, it loves to be strong, it loves to resist gravity. Kettlebell and barbell training can be really supportive for those on the ascension path when used correctly. For more information on kettlebells look at https://www.strongfirst.com/. There are instructors everywhere, and lots of free resources out there.  

• 432 Hz Music, Binaural Beats, and Kundalini Yoga. 

  • If you type "432 hz music" into youtube you can find some beautiful compositions. This frequency was actually recommended by the detox groups, and I've found it the most soothing, relaxing and supportive of all the healing frequencies - at least during this time on the bridge. 

  • Binaural beats, specifically for the kidneys (kidneys hold unprocessed fear and shame) have been helpful too. 

  • I've also started to incorporate kundalini yoga into my practices, and so far it's working amazingly well for balancing my nerves, and getting an interface going between my energy and physical bodies. I expect it to become even more important as we move forward.
