'Thwarted Dreams' and the Divine Masculine

I recently received this inspiring piece through a spiritual teacher, Meg Benedicte. It's by Manette Mays, and bears repeating. I believe many of us are working hard to better understand the necessary balance between the divine male and divine female in these times and in the days to come, and Manette's article addresses this in some very helpful ways.

_________________________________________________________________
The energies on the planet have changed. We know it, we feel it because we've done the work yet most of us are still feeling like we can barely support ourselves.  I've been observing and experimenting with this facet of life for decades and it seems the only way to heal this -  in spite of all the work we've already done -  is to find a way to forgive the instances in the past where we haven't been supported by the divine masculine.  For whatever reason, whatever the circumstance, sometimes protection, sometimes to maintain (ego) dominance etc. our dreams have not been allowed to come to fruition or worse we were punished for attempting to manifest.

We can't begin to trust ourselves or our ability to prosper until we have completely forgiven our "father".   A recent mishap with my birth father was a glaring example of why it is still so hard for us to manifest what resonates with our soul energy.  For eons patriarchal, masculine ego energy has sabotaged us and kept the feminine intuitive heart energy hostage.

Whenever the masculine element feels unable to dominate, whenever it perceives an inability to "control" the resulting fear is just too much for them to handle and the feminine is wounded. Sorry guys I don't mean to suggest that men are the problem.  The lack of balance in humanity is the problem.  This war rages inside each one of our hearts and minds regardless of our genitals. Knowing that fear inflicts wounds doesn't make it easy to forgive but it is a start.

The complete remedy from this battle is more complex than simply adding Light.  The most healing energy is TRUTH. Whenever we are offended, hurt or sabotaged, the perpetrator will rarely admit that the reason for their action was fear.  "I was afraid" says a lot but it makes the problem very small because once we've identified fear we know it is just the absence of Light! The offending action is our own fear made manifest so that we can heal it. Every challenge is another opportunity to ascend.

We started this process of spiritual excavation to find the truth of our divine identity. The more we learn and remember our truth the stronger we are, the greater our ability to manifest. If we're feeling like we can't manifest, if we're feeling stuck or blocked the answer is to find the LIE.  Find the story that is holding us hostage and forgive it. Getting to the origin of any "problem" requires perspective from a higher dimension.

We can't solve 3D problems at the 3D level.  We can't even solve 5D problems at the 5D level...we need lofty perspective, we need to go higher and higher to continue our ascension and this is what we came to do - human race evolution.  When our dreams are thwarted, when again we find ourselves disappointed it means we get to learn something new about who we are and what we came to do.  Isn't that fun? I know- about as fun as exercise the results are worth it.

Lovingly,

Manette Mays

I'm Healing the Japanese... or Are the Japanese Healing Me?!?

It's been way too long since I've blogged here... Hope that you had a very Merry Christmas, everyone! And Happy Golden Age, too: As of this past 12/21 (Winter Solstice), we have entered a very special Time on our dear Planet Earth. Welcome to this auspicious time on this Earth!

I wanted to share about how I've been healed by the Japanese people who come to Sedona this past year. It's been quite a year, a bit of a roller coaster ride. But as I look back, I'm seeing how I reached out to the Japanese - through my interpreting, my tours, and my energy work - and although they say that they were healed by me and my presence, I'm realizing that they also healed me by their love and Presence with me! It's interesting how human relationships work, but I'm noticing yet again in my life that healing is not a one-way street. When healing takes place between people, it often takes in both directions. When we are a catalyst for healing, we also receive the benefits, the echoes, if you will, of that healing.

On Christmas Day I received a special email from one of my Japanese customers who'd been going through a lot in her life when we met. She received some of my energy work while in Sedona. She made the comment that the greatest gift for her during 2012 was getting to meet me! Wow, that was a truly special compliment! I need to frame that and post it in my office space. And when I think about it, meeting the Japanese - all of the beautiful, spiritual Japanese I've met this year - has been the greatest gift in my life this past year as well.

This brings me to the fact that I'm offering some Year-end Specials at this time, in terms of my energy work and products. Here's what I'm offering:

1) My Energy work - and Order of the Magi Readings - are 1/2 price! I'm offering a 50 min. session for $50. Also, I use Matrix Energetics more in my sessions now, so more can be done more quickly, too! (more at www.runningthebars.com) This energy work is great for your animals/pets, too, and can be done long distance as well as in person.

2) All Soul Bundles & Young Living oils are 30% off (Can send them out as gifts, directly to your people, too). www.soulbaskets.com shows you the details.

3) All my books are 1/2 price (www.changewithcourage.com)!

Let me know of your interest in any of the above by email - or phone (from my Contact Page on any of my websites) - and we'll arrange it right away.

Finally, when you go to my new main site, www.changewithcourage.com, you'll see a button on the top right hand side of my Home Page that you can use to call me: I'm available now for counseling and consultations through Keen.com.

Peaceful Freedom Fighter of Burma in Magnificent Film, "The Lady"

Last weekend I was given an unexpected opportunity to see the film The Lady that was showing at the new Mary D. Fisher Theater in Sedona, AZ. It is a magnificent film that came out late last year about one amazing woman, Aung San Suu Kyi, known as the "peaceful freedom fighter" - and her man, the academic writer Michael Aris - who have been holding space for democracy in Burma, despite all odds. It is a French-English co-production, directed by Luc Besson, "a man who carries utter respect for women." The same person says that "I genuinely think the purpose of this film isn’t about vanity but to show to everyone out [in the world] what happened in Burma and the courageous work and choices Aung Aan Suu Kyi has achieved for her country."

I have just discovered that you can view this moving, powerful film showing the ongoing battle between light and dark taking place in Burma online; here is the link where you can do that. Michelle Yeoh, the well known and brilliant, beautiful Malaysian actress (Memoirs of a Geisha and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and David Thewlis (Harry Potter film series and Kingdom of Heaven), who portrays Suu Kyi's steadfast life partner Michael Aris, do a magnificent job of portraying this love story fraught with drama and violence.

One of the most moving parts of the film is when Michael is dying of cancer. He's only a 53-year-old man, has been separated from his wife for years now, and between the two of them they have two grown teenage boys by then. Suu Kyi is given the choice to go back to see her husband - who's now on hospice - and not be allowed to re-enter Burma, or to remain in Burma while her husband is dying in the U.K. She makes a very difficult choice and decides to stay in Burma with her people. It is clear in the film that the two of them, as a couple have been very dedicated to the democratic movement in Burma, so we assume that Suu Kyi, despite her deep grief and pain, must have on some level known that Michael would understand, and perhaps even appreciate her decision to stay with her family and supporters in Burma.

Anyone interested in justice, peace, non-violence, and freedom will appreciate this film. I highly recommend that you see it. I believe that it did not get the justice it deserves in the regular theaters and film circles, as I had not even heard of it until now.

Aung San Suu Kyi's haunting words that we are left with at the close of the film are: "Use your liberty to promote ours."

May we use our liberty - and abundance and peace - to promote the liberty, abundance, and peace of Burma, and those other countries that are still struggling on this magnificent Planet Earth, Dancing heart~~~~

"Accept the Unacceptable"

I continue to move through quite a bit of healing and release work, as of late. And one of the healing, releasing modalities that I've come across through a healer friend who introduced me to it is called the Paradox Process. I found it a very helpful process that moves you through literally clearing emotions, through simple feeling statements, about your life that you're not happy or satisfied about -- sort of like the opposite of saying affimations!

An overarching statement that they use in the Paradox release process is "Accept the Unacceptable." Wow, what a useful three-word phrase this has proved to be for me. "Accept the Unacceptable" has become a term, even a kind of mantra for me, that represents where I want to be going as I release all the old judgment that has enslaved me in my life.

Opening my heart to the "Dancing Heart" who I desire to become means forgiving myself - and all the aspects of me that I tend to struggle with. And all the horrible things I've discovered I've done in some of my pastlives, too! I also want to forgive others and their actions that sometimes disturb me; and what better way to do that than to let people off the hook with "Accept the Unacceptable!" Life on Earth is imperfect, I am imperfect, and everyone else is, too. So, here's to Accepting the Unacceptable - hoping and trusting that we're all doing the best that we can in the moment, and that we can likely do better next time :)

Here's a Youtube on "Forgiving the unforgivable" - another piece that might help you, too, Let Go of old judgmental parts of you.

Love, Light, and Deep Forgiveness and Self-love to all, Dancing heart~~~
