Goddess Channeling Message from Aradia

The Goddess Aradia has a bit of a sorted history. Some say she was a powerful goddess; others claim she was a witch and still others were happy to give her saint-hood. 

This morning when I was channeling the Goddess aspect, it was Aradia who came forth with a message for the week. 

She spoke of gathering ideas and thoughts during the "quiet times" in our lives. Many times, when things are quiet... in our lives or our businesses... we equate that with a sense of stagnation. As though things are not moving forward as fast as we'd like them to. At least that is often how I perceive them! And, yet, she offers a reminder to relish those times when things seem quiet or stagnant. And this concept seems so foreign to me! How can I relish in stagnation??

Aradia reminds us that these quiet times in our life, these times when WE feel stagnation, are in fact necessary. These are the times that help us to recharge and to prepare for the rougher weather. In the channeling she equates it to the sea. And reminds us to enjoy the calmness of the sea when it comes. We are being fashioned and prepared for the rougher waters. 

She speaks of abundance and success coming soon, but we need to be in a place where we are open to receive it. And these quiet times allow us to better prepare ourselves to be open to receiving the abundance that is to come. 

And in the process of relishing in the quiet periods of our life, she tells us to take the time to help others on their journey. Lifting them up and helping them to grow as someone once helped you.

Can Kindness Heal?

Emotional Pain? Not I...

I do believe that many of our physical illnesses are made that much worse by the addition of emotional hurt and pain. I also believe that the only two (main) emotions that all of the other emotions come from; are fear and love. So, it makes sense to me that emotional pain stems from a place of fear and an absence of love, at a particular point in our lives. 

When someone hurts us it leaves an emotional scar deep in our inner most being. And this hurt and pain manifests itself in our lives through depression, sadness or withdrawn behavior. It may even rear its head through expressions of anger or resentment or even unkind words. 

Most days I don't consider myself to be in need of emotional healing. 'That's okay for others, but I'm good!' as I focus on growth and manifestation and all that positive stuff. But, then something happens. I may see a post on Facebook that is quite hurtful and hits a nerve. Or someone says something when I'm at the grocery store that has an air of nastiness to it. And it's at those times that I realize, that I, too, could use some emotional healing. Clearly, there are old wounds that open up during certain situations. 

Today I did some meditation as I normally do; but this time I took it a step further and channeled the goddess energy for insight. The primary message that I kept getting was to focus on love. But what the heck does that mean?? 

Often spirit speaks in a vague way! Mainly through symbols or short phrases, which can be a bit frustrating for left brain people! But what she was saying was so simple, in fact; that I just needed to accept it for its simplicity. 

She spoke of being kind and simply letting kindness enter your being.. your mind, your thoughts, your speech. As I am sarcastic by nature, showing kindness on a daily basis can be quite a challenge. That probably sounds very odd to the people that DO show kindness daily! 

So, what exactly does it mean to show kindness?

Part of showing kindness means to give of yourself. Even if all you can give is your time. By giving of yourself you are opening doors and making connections; human connections. And by showing kindness to others, you are in fact; showing kindness to YOURSELF. 

Not only does an act of kindness make someone else happy- it also does the same for you. When you show kindness, your brain releases a chemical called dopamine which produces happiness in YOU. Studies have also shown that acts of kindness can actually reduce stress levels; and we all know the health benefits of THAT! I was shown that this simple act can actually OPEN DOORS to emotional healing.

It sounds almost too simple. And yet, even though it IS simple; I realize that I have seen the effectiveness of it. You see, I use a pendulum to change energy in that way regularly. Using a pendulum, we can eliminate a negative and bring in a positive. When using it for emotional healing, we eliminate the negative emotion present and add in the corresponding positive emotion to replace it. 

Replacing emotional hurt and fear with love and kindness. 

But stepping outside of your comfort zone to show kindness can leave you open and vulnerable... vulnerable to even more hurt, right? No doubt, it is hard to show kindness when we are hurting emotionally. And yet, showing kindness is one way that we can begin to heal ourselves. Focusing on love and kindness rather than focusing on our inner pains and fears. Essentially, sending our energy outward to produce a positive effect INWARD. 

Just for today, let's be vulnerable and try to show some kindness to someone! In fact, let's challenge ourselves to make an effort to show ONE person some kindness each day. And watch the changes that occur in OURSELVES as we begin a journey towards emotional healing.

Parvati ~ Hindu Goddess

So, I wanted to share a bit about a Hindu Goddess that I've been introduced to recently. Most of us know that there are so many gods and goddesses in the Hindu faith; and some are more well known than others of course. Parvati is one that I wasn't very familiar with before... and now that I am I thought it best to share some knowledge! 

Parvati is a Hindu goddess of fertility and divine strength and power. She is actually an aspect of Shakti in that she is the gentle and nurturing part. Her husband was Shiva and more importantly to me, one of her children is Ganesha, a deity that I work with. (Ganesha has the head of an elephant).  Parvati is said to be the supreme power of the universe. Parvati is shown with her hands in the form of a mudra that signifies FEARLESSNESS. This is the quality that I aspire to take on! Do you have one of these necklaces? And if you do, did you know the meaning behind it?

I share some qualities with Parvati in that I too am nurturing; as most mothers are; particularly to my children. In the Hindu stories, Ganesha’s mother ordered that he be given a new head when his was chopped off by Shiva. She would not let her son die. Parvati is nourishing and protective. She blocked her husband (Shiva’s) throat so that poison could not be swallowed, showing her devotion to her family and those she loves and holds dear. She knows no limits when she is reaching for her goal. She doesn’t let anything stand in her way; thus the fearlessness. 

Shakti is the pure, untamed energy that flows. It is the female principle of divine energy and this energy is manifested in several Hindu goddesses. Shakti is like the “mother of all goddesses”.  Parvati represents one aspect of that energy in its nurturing and giving form. 

What aspects of Parvati resonate with you? How are you manifesting those qualities in your day to day life?
