Spiritual Quest - Tuesday & Wednesday

Tuesday and Wednesday on our Spiritual Quest were a bit of a blur.  I was there, but not really there.  I spent close to 6 hours each of these days deep inside my connection with Source.  I spent time in my journal, wrote page after page, and artistically crafted the "tools" that will go with my book that is coming to life. As much as I would like to share what transpired in these days, I cannot...yet... as those words will be a large part of this channeled guide and tool for balancing our energy centers and reconnecting with our Soul or Source.  In fact, I was so engrossed in that connection that no one else was around, there was nothing that disturbed me, even when Courtney tried to sit next to me and said that she fell off of the log.  I didn't even know she was there.  A Spiritual Musician spontaneously came and played for the group...didn't hear it, see it...I really can't explain that unique sense of connection, focus and purpose. So, for those of you who know me, know that finding words usually isn't a problem, but here and now I am at a loss...but that has lead me down a really interesting conscious path.

I am currently creating a Mission Statement, and although I am fully aware that our statements  may shift or change through different periods in our lives, I am seeking to develop a Mission Statement that conveys my core principles at this time.  I feel as though this is an important step in the development of myself and in the creation of this guidebook.  Almost to the stage of seeking an editor and publisher...I feel that I need to really have myself "pegged" with a Mission Statement, biography and a sense of identity or brand - to ensure that through the next phase of this process, the suggestions, criticisms and editing doesn't stray from the purpose of the guidebook and honors the "channeled messages" be kept intact.  The thing is though, that I am really no different than I have always been, but never before have I been so keenly aware as to how I interface with the world around me.  I have my own perception and experience of how I interact with others, but is that how you see me?  Does how I think I interface with the world draw similarities with how you interpret how I interface with the world?  I realize that what I am asking is severely risky, but I am fully prepared for your responses.  So, let me have it - if you feel compelled to be a part of my journey in fortifying my personal Mission Statement, have insight or suggestions please have the courage to comment or contact me.

Looking forward to your assistance in my journey,

Juli

Spiritual Quest - Monday Afternoon

An excerpt from my journal at Red Rock Crossing:

"Walking along Oak Creek Trail, I began to feel hot, even on this cool day.  As the energy increases, so does my body temperature.  The magnificent, clear spring water gushes by, soothing the edges of the pristine red rock.  An incredible backdrop of Cathedral Rock stretches up to the sky and it is apparent that earth, air, fire and water are all connected into one magnificent SOURCE.  Floating high above on the cliff is a magnificent boulder with a little tumble weed growing upon it.  It represents to me the perfect balance - teetering there, poised to fall, poised to remain in center.  Life is much like this boulder - staying balanced between earth and heaven, while maintaining composure and a pristine example of grace, humbleness and compassion.  This particular place where I sit reflects ancient goddess energy - Divine Feminine.  Not "prissy" energy, but a powerful presence of care, warmth like a mothers embrace and a true sense of Being alive."

"Embracing life like you would a lover will surely bring you such happiness.  When you commit to life through the power of manifestation by taking an idea and focusing your energy upon it, you commit to its arrival in your life.  Commitment is the key, especially for those that are 'lost' or looking for a way.  Encourage them to pick one thing big or small and focus their energy on it - not resources, but energy - thoughts, intentions and then wait for it to appear in their lives.  All it takes is one little commitment for life to transform.  Embrace life, by embracing this concept and watch the little miracles unfold. 

Often as women, as healers, you lose sight of your own power and balance of it in your lives.  You start to worry about money, resources and all the stuff that appears important to your human-ness.  You can achieve the balance you so desire by committing to your energy, thoughts and intentions and sharing the focus on 'resources' with the SOURCE that is you.  For you are in essence Source too.  Believe this, implement this and Balance will surely grace your life."
Loving You,   
Quan Yin

As women it is so important to find the balance; to share some of that energy that we put on the "resources" and stuff in our lives - share that energy with self by putting the focus inward.  Life is really quite simple - it is all the human boundaries, ideals and circumstances that complicate it.  Let's all simplify, simplify, simplify...and find that balance again.

Much, much love,
Juli

Spiritual Quest - Monday

Excerpt from my journal entry at the Airport Vortex:

"The sensation settled right into my heart and solar plexus immediately with a release of tears.  Such a strong warm sensation, just like a father's embrace.  This vortex is of masculine energy and most definitely feels male.  I sat on a tree at the top vista for the initial intro to the energy and have now moved down the cliff to a severely twisted juniper tree.  Others have left stones to mark their imprint and appreciation here.  You can't help but believe in God and Universal Energy sitting here."

"The ripples in the rock before you are like the ripples in your soul.  One thought, one saying can create an influencing ripple effect on the entire Soul.  You are reflecting, reversing the negative ripples that have patterned you to submitting to submission and adhering to man made authority.  The only authority that applies in the grand scheme of things is your inner authority and intention.  If in your heart you believe to be acting in your higher selves best interest, that is the only confirmation you need.  YOU are the power of YOU!  All that has been done or said in the past is now negated - rippled free.  Those things that have previously scarred you are now healed.  Feel your soul now smooth, connected and powerful - lovingly assertive - your life is about you.  When you do the work, you affect the world around you and in those moments you connect with the global collective consciousness with positive intentions.  The collective consciousness implores you to participate by opening your heart and connecting with others with the learnings from your ripples.  Teach, coach, speak your truths that you come to understand through this collective consciousness.  Ask the questions that will encourage others to self-discover.  Those that came with you are those that will be opening your appropriate chakras to balance and teach you to surrender the submissiveness. 
Be open to this process and encourage both yourself and your friends to cut their cords every day so as not to ripple your souls - keep this energy today INTACT.  You have all shown incredible self-respect by joining us here today, in this vortex.  Imprinted now, you can reconnect to this energy anytime, as you carry it with you forever.  Thanks be to God.  Thanks be to Divinity.   Thanks be to You.  -Ashanti"

Although, this message, divinely channeled, pertains to those that were on the Quest with me, most elements do pertain to you too.  Our ripples are all apparent, and needed to help us reflect and dig deeper into the soul.  I trust that within Ashanti's message, you too will find both clarity and understanding.

Blessings,
Juli

Spiritual Quest

As some of you know, last week I, along with friends, ventured to Sedona, Arizona on a Spiritual Quest.  Each day was different and uniquely fantastic in its own way.  I want to thank Venesa, Courtney, Dot and my Mom for their love and support and for their courage to engage their Spirit and Soul in a way that was forever transformative.

Each day was spent with 2-6 hours in meditation.  It was for the most part, a quiet quest.  While in meditation, several messages were channeled, some that I will be sharing here over the next few days, and some that will be expressed in my upcoming book.

Thank you for you support, love and kindness, and I trust that the messages that follow will benefit you in some way.

Much, much love,

Juli
