meditation...

Meditation
 

Meditation is a perfect practice to start in the new year 

Just quiet your mind, feel your heart slow and be in a rhythm of your breath. Listen to your breath and let your thoughts leave your mind, you can pick them up later. Place them in a box in the corner just so you know where they are. Focus on your inhale and your exhale and how wonderful that feels as every cell in your body is bathed with oxygen and light and relaxes in love. Then, you can listen to the promptings of the Divine from within or something longer like  taking a journey with us to a magical land and tap into your inner wisdom and work on expanding your senses. Relax and open your mind to receiving, without directing your thoughts. Just notice the feelings, visions, or ideas that come your way. Call in your entourage of angels to assist you and then be open to the expansion that is taking place. 

And then, in your awake state, notice the loving guidance you hear inside your head, or from other people. Notice the feelings that you get and trust in them. If you are unsure, quiet your mind and breath, and ask your heart center to give you more information and then act on the information you receive. Ask your Angels to open your third eye and practice using these tools in your everyday life.

Affirmation:"Each day my senses are expanding, opening and becoming more sensitive with my environment "

You are dearly loved and supported, always, the angels

give...

Give to those who do not expect it, 
Give anonymously with zest. 
Give of your silent prayers for another you pass 
on the street. 
Give without thinking allowing it to be a way of life 
not a season.

Lets have a holiday...every day!

Is there a time when there is no difference between a holiday and any other day?

Is there a need to go and buy presents and delightful food for one day in the year?

Is it only for the few to see what it is that is so prevalent in the time of a celebration?

We say that there is reason for celebration in every moment, every day, every year. There is room for guidance in how to utilize that celebration to create a life of beauty, bounty and the beholdment of the Almighty presence that is within each of you.

It is time for you all to see yourselves as the reason for celebration and for each other to join in that chorus of joy and applause. We see you all as treasures of the Tree of Life with the Golden tinsel bound in light. We see you all as the beautiful Saviors of yourselves.

Through your Spirit within, you have reason to climb to the top of the world and jump off into eternity. You are the Angels on top of the Tree of Life. Shine your Golden Light and sing the song of everlasting life for all of existence to celebrate.

Love is Eternal, as are You!

Magic...

Magic

Work your magic

 

You are a power and magical human. Step into that place of creation that exists within each of you. Nourish yourself so that part of can flourish. Decide clearly where you want to go. Then, let the results of your desires become a feeling of what it will feel like when you get there. Let us orchestrate the hows with you. Ask your angels to be your guides. Next, decide clearly what you will and won't accept as your clarity will bring immediate results and it is important to set healthy boundaries. Have steady faith in a positive outcome.

You have the power to resolve any situation. Tap into your magical abilities, which you've used successfully in the past. Pull these abilities out of storage and use them to work your magic now. Your clear and focused intentions, positive expectations, prayers, decrees, and action steps all create the healings and manifestations you desire.

Study alchemy and manifestation principles, for these Universal Laws will assist you in manifesting your dreams into reality.

Affirm often: "I am powerful and in control of my destiny"

You are dearly loved and supported, always, the angels

Archangel Michael

Archangel Michael Remember who you Are You are a powerful, loving, and creative child of the Creator. You are very loved. You are made in the image and likeness of the Creator, so you embody aspects of all those qualities. Your inner Divine light is pure and bright in truth, and no mistakes can undo God's handiwork of true perfection. Don't be afraid of your power, your magnificence, or your wisdom. When you succeed, you inspire others. When you change your life so that it's more aligned with your interests, you inspire others. Be powerful! Be Magnificent, This is who you are. Working with Archangel Michael: Michael's name means "He Who is like God," since he emanates the Creator's awesome qualities of love, power, strength, and unwavering faith. When you call upon Michael, your own similar qualities are enhanced and magnified. Ask Michael to enter your dreams and clear away any fears that are blocking you from fully enjoying and living your spiritual gifts and qualities. Michael works especially well with us while we're sleeping, since that's when we are more open-minded and receptive. *from Doreen Virtue's Archangel Oracle Cards, www.angeltherapy.com* Thank you, Mahalo, Merci, Gracias, Vielen Dank, Grazie, Спасибо, Obrigado, 谢谢, Dank, 謝謝, Chokran,Děkuji    www.playingwiththeuniverse.com

My Weekly Dose of Music

These are my favorite artists and tracks of the week!
May the Universe Bless them in all of their careers...
some REAL talent here!
xox


I am working on my newest track now. 
It is a cover of James Blake's "The Willhelm Scream".
When you initially hear the track, you think it is so simple...then it gets REAL!
Makes me cry every time. 
Heart is in the floor by the last minute to 30seconds...every time!


Anyway...the track isn't simple at ALL!....
Especially considering the fact that I don't read or play music, I had to learn the "seemingly" simple chords and try to recreate them with software. Why? 
Because the keyboard I had was only battery operated...and Mother Misfit was outta batteries :( ... (Mother Misfit is the AKA I will be releasing this EP with.)


I eventually figured it out on piano with a heavy distortion. It is gonna take me awhile to finish it though, as  have created 7 different drum patterns already and now must sequence it all (ughh) then record vocals and mastering...'twill grace the world soon!

xoxoxoxxoxoxox

The track and official video are below. Personally, my favorite videos of James' are the live performances. The way the guitarist triggers midi audio through his guitar 
and uses it as a controller is brilliant. Not to mention the drummer and the various percussion or marching band instruments he rotates with are so clever. 
The pauses, breaks and harmonies matched with his emotional vocals is a heart-
beat skippin' recipe fo sho! 
I also am stringing a few of my other fave new artists. 
I would love to see my sister play in a band like "Those Dancin' Days"!
Also a few other female and male artists I have discovered.
Hope you all enjoy!


Blessings!

Co-Create... Today's message from the Angels...

ANOTHER ANGEL MESSAGE FROM SHARON!
LOVE HER!
XO


Article Copyright ©2011 by Sharon Taphorn. All rights reserved.

Co-create Use your talents, skills and energy with others Eliminate power struggles, conflicts and competition and co-create your dreams and desires by combining your strengths together. As a group you can move mountains. Energize each others dreams and desires, just as you call us in to assist. Find like minded individuals who will help you co-create and that you are also willing to co-create with. It doesn't have to be the same dreams and desires, only that you love them enough to create with them. Each of you have your own desires and dreams and ways to get there. Be open to others ideas as well. Co-operate with others, and find the middle ground or leave everyone with a sense of a job well done. As you do your best, others will do there best also. This does not mean that it will be the same as your best, which can change from moment to moment. What we are suggesting is to be open and loving and accepting of those around you. Take with you what works and leave the rest, as it might be just what someone else needs. Have faith, keep hope in your heart and keep charging ahead. Each step takes you closer to where you want to go. Keep moving. Keep releasing and making way for the new. Your angel guidance is to bring people together and explore how you can mutually assist each other. Have patience and faith, and don't try to force things to happen. You are dearly loved and supported, always, the angels Thank you, Mahalo, Merci, Gracias, Vielen Dank, Grazie, Спасибо, Obrigado, 谢谢, Dank, 謝謝, Chokran,Děkuji    Article Copyright ©2011 by Sharon Taphorn.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW??

I AM GOING TO BE POSTING A WEEKLY BLOG FOCUSING ON MY EMPATHETIC GIFTS.
BEING AN EMPATH IS NOT LIKE BEING A PSYCHIC AT ALL. I DON'T READ MINDS, PREDICT LOTTERY NUMBERS, ETC. BUT LITERALLY, PHYSICALLY "FEEL" YOUR PAIN, JOY OR SORROW. THIS CAN BE BOTH UPLIFTING AND DRAINING AS SOMETIMES I TAKE ON OTHER'S ENERGY THAT AT TIMES CAN BE QUITE DENSE. I AM ALSO HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO THE EMOTIONS OF EVERYONE AROUND ME & CANNOT BLOCK OR SHIELD THESE ENERGIES.


I HAVE TO WORK DAILY ON CENTERING, BALANCING AND RELEASING THE ENERGIES THAT I DO TAKE ON. I AM BLESSED AND APPRECIATE THE GIFTS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME, EVEN THOUGH AT TIMES THEY CAN BE EXHAUSTING...WHEN I HELP ANOTHER WHO IS STRUGGLING, THERE IS NOTHING MORE REWARDING :)


WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT BEING AN EMPATH?
DO YOU THINK YOU MAY BE ONE YOUR SELF?


SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS & QUESTIONS WITH ME

Commitment

Commitment

Persevere towards your vision

 

Let your every thought, word and deed be directed towards your desired outcome. Focus your energy on creating the earth you have been dreaming about. Keep your energy focused and trust that there are enough of you incarnated at this time who are just as powerful in their intent to create the new Earth that you know within is emerging. Hold steadfast to your ideals, even if those around you say it will never happen. Avoid these people and all other negative energies that are around at this time. Keep your thoughts and feelings focused on the knowing that it will happen. Trust that it will happen. When enough of you hold this vision, it can't help seem that it happened in a blink of an eye, however things seem much slower to those actually going through it.

Use positive affirmations each day to help you keep this focus. Your angel guidance is to take time out from your busy day and take care of yourself as well as time to focus on your affirmations and desires. Open your heart to greater love each day and let your emotions heal. Release any thoughts of anger and unforgiveness from your heart and your mind, as these are blocks that often stand in the way of creating your dreams. Remember to ask your angels for help and know when you dedicate your intention to the highest good, you are supported always.

Affirmation: "I am committed to my vision of a new earth built on love, compassion and support."

You are dearly loved and supported, always, the angels

The Waves of Change

The Waves of Change

Our thoughts and feelings create all of our experiences. Thought is our greatest ability. It can also be our greatest liability. The difference between success and struggle is the degree to which we use the focusing tools of intention, attention and thoughts. The mind is active 24/7. Your thoughts flow in an unending stream that keeps you busily creating your reality, consciously or unconsciously, all day long. Everything you are currently experiencing in this moment first began as a thought. Your unconscious thinking creates just as powerfully and swiftly as your conscious thinking does. Unconscious thoughts are like misguided missiles, whereas intentionally-directed thoughts result in precise outcomes. In these fast-moving times of acceleration, all of our thoughts are manifesting our reality much faster than ever before. Therefore, it is more important now to pay attention to our thoughts and feelings and to understand that we are the creators of all of our experiences, because these powerful waves ofLlight flowing through and around us are intensifying and quickening all of our manifestations now...

How to Enjoy the Shift

How to Enjoy the Shift

There is a change, a Shift under way that is so far-reaching that our limited imagination cannot begin to grasp the change we are now in the midst of experiencing. This Shift is affecting every aspect of life on the planet; political, social and economic structures, the environment, every institution, the wars, how we view our relationships, our work, every thought we think and every feeling we feel. It is altering Time, our memory, our DNA, the wiring of our physical and emotional bodies, our beliefs, our perceptions of good and bad, right and wrong and especially our awareness of what is possible. The Shift is composed of huge waves of Light which hold massive amounts of information and instructions. These waves of Light are re-wiring our DNA, upgrading the body’s physical, emotional and mental systems, and activating the fourth and fifth dimensional chakras, and aligning us with a higher awareness. This Shift is providing new understandings of how to once again live in harmony with each other, the environment and All That Is. However, between this new “Heaven on Earth” and where we currently exist, there is transition...
