Spunky Mama

Need a motivational kick in the butt?

This January has been AMAZING for me. Could be that I am celebrating that I carefully and secretly hope/know/wish and FEEL that my adrenal fatigue is a thing of the past. It "only" took 2 years to heal and it's been two solid years in the fog. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever come back. I hear that in the world of Adrenal Fatigue, 2 years is actually not that long, and me taking massive action to heal paid off.

This year, 2012, is going to be my best year yet! The past 2 (nearly 3) years I haven't been able to dream big. I haven't felt inspired to do anything, and I only had (barely) enough energy to do the things I have to do to stay afloat (and sometimes my husband had to hold me above the surface). I've parented, I've had fun (but a dulled kind of fun), I've lived life as fully as I could, but I have felt wing clipped.

The veil of lethargy was finally lifted, and I find myself wanting to be inspired, ready to create, and I'm thrilled that I feel energized enough to know that I can take action and actually DO some things :)

 

A HUGE help and motivation has been the Goddess Guidebook. It's just gorgeous, and fun, and inspires me to dream just as big (no bigger) than I want. 

                                                                 

I signed up to be an ambassador because I just adore this fun book :) This wonderful goddess offers up some nice free things too - here.

2012 Predictions

 

What a positive and powerful message! 

I've been listening to these yearly messages for a few years now, and find them to be THE most accurate you can find. Enjoy!

Preparing for the Master Cleanse

Oh I've been around the block when it comes to detoxes and healthy diets.

I've done my share of cleansing, green juice fasts and other herbal detox regimens - but I've never done the Master Cleanse. It seemed to me I'd need something more than water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper to sustain my body (and keep me somewhat able to keep up with the kids).

Now is the time. 9 days left to day 1, as a matter of fact. I'm giving myself a bit of time to mentally prepare to increase my odds of making it for at least 10 days.

I've been cozying up in front of the fire today, on the couch, a cup of steaming yerba mate in one hand and the book "Beyond the Master Cleanse" in the other (preview the book and TONS of info here). I realize I should have read the "The Complete Master Cleanse" first, but I hoped that the little yellow booklet I have, with the simple title "The Master Cleanser" has about the same info ;)

We shall see ;)

 

Solution seeking - three simple steps

1. Be aware and informed! 

2. There are many problems - shift your focus onto the solution.

3. Manifest the solution!

 

1. To be aware and informed may seem contradictory to many followers of the Law of Attraction and believers of positive thinking. It is not. We need to accept reality. Just as a drawer full of clutter, or a corner filled with dust, won't clean themselves, reality will not simply "go away".  By pretending that we can't see, or refusing to hear, what is going on in our world, we are not making our planet a better place. 

It is equally wasteful of our powerful energy to be so absorbed in drama, sickness, poverty, bad news and horrible world events, and to continue to feed those events with more nourishment in the form of human energy.

It is also true, that you will have to choose the type of news that you choose to take in. If we live by striving to be the change we wish to see in the world - we must be more concerned with events and situations that directly impact us - and that we can influence.

 

2. Once we become aware and awake to the way things are, and this reality, that is when we become truly powerful. Every problem and unwanted situation has a solution waiting for you to find it. Seek the solution, allow our energy to flow there - and take action!

 

3. Taking action to manifest the solution is often the missing link. We can feel so powerless while witnessing all the sadness in the world. 

Taking action can mean a lot of different things. Once we have identified a solution to a particular issue, we may have to chunk this issue down into bite sized and realistic action steps, that we as individuals and smaller groups can accomplish. Ending world hunger, saving all the children, end poverty, stop world pollution or what ever it might be, can be within our power, if we begin closest to home. 

Often overlooked, and the simplest form of action, can be just changing our perception of the situation. Our thoughts are energy. Where our attention goes, that's where our energy flows. We are never entirely victims, never entirely powerless - we are always able to choose whether we would like to think about bad situations or positive solutions.

Shifting our thoughts from feeling like powerless victims of circumstance - to powerful human beings who can and will change the world - one thought and action at a time - is a great starting point. It brings us out of the weaker energy field into an energy field that is strong and healthy.

Thinking about the solution is and obvious simple step that we can all take part in. Some of us can do more. Some of us will be able to do a lot more. Most of us will do more as a result of thinking differently. Thoughts become actions. Actions become our reality.

 

 

The Beautiful Truth

At first glance I though, I didn't have an hour and a half to watch this movie. Now I don't know of anything that could have been more important to do instead.

The Beautiful Truth is a fantastic movie filled to the brim with things that us humans need to know to thrive.

A troubled 15-year-old boy attempting to cope with the recent death of his mother sets out to research Dr. Max Gerson's claims of a diet that can cure cancer as his first assignment for home-schooling in this documentary from filmmaker Steve Kroschel (Avalanche, Dying to Have Known). Garrett is a boy who has always been close to nature. He lives on a reserve with a menagerie of orphaned animals, and over the years he's become especially sensitive to the nutritional needs of the diet-sensitive animals he's charged with caring for. When Garrett's mother suffers a tragic and untimely death, the boy falls into a dangerous downward spiral and nearly flunks out of school. Increasingly concerned for Garrett's well-being and determined to strengthen their bond despite the many challenges on the horizon, his father makes the decision to begin home-schooling the distressed teen. Garrett's first assignment: study a controversial book written by Dr. Max Gerson, a physician who claims to have discovered a diet that's capable of curing cancer. Is Dr. Gerson's therapy truly the legitimate, alternative cure it appears to be? In order to find out the truth behind this long-suppressed treatment, Garrett interviews not only Dr. Gerson's family members, but various doctors, skeptics, and cancer patients as well. His studies completed and his findings revelatory, Garrett now sets out to tell the entire world about The Gerson Miracle.

 

Time to reground and regroup

Many of us are aware that we are in the midst of a major transition for humanity. While change has always been the only thing constant in our world, this transition is different. We are witnessing how the world as we've known it for generations, based on materialism, is crumbling.

Personally, while being bombarded with news about the dire state of our world, I needed to reground myself, and seek out reminders from spiritual teachers about how we are all one, and our souls are eternal, and how we have all chosen to be on Earth, together at this time.

It would have been so easy to lose my footing during the past week, and I was grateful to have surrounded myself with the loving souls I seek out on a daily basis, as well as a network of online teachers and alternative news sources. 

While feeling the loss of lives in Japan, on some level, I am also able to feel grateful for their commitment to humanity and Earth, in helping us all open our hearts and feel love for people we don't know. 

The potential radiation exposure (for us on the North American west coast) reminded me, that while it is wise to be self sustainable (for a variety of reasons) ultimately we can heal ourselves and our world with how we direct our attention, how much we are able to love, our thoughts and feelings, our trust and our absolute knowing that we are limitless beings. 

Tom Kenyon (whose website seems to be down at the moment, so let me share one that posted his channelling from the Hathor's that resonated with so many - Denise LeFay -) was urged to share a fantastic meditation and channelling on how to make Medicines of Light.

David Icke's hopeful message to us (a decade old, but this needs to be repeated until it has been (re-)programmed into our subconscious minds again) says it all. We need to remember our potential - stay grounded in love - and free from False Evidence Appearing Real.

 

Love or Fear?

What a roller coaster ride it's been lately (and the full supermoon hasn't even hit us yet)! Have you noticed how easy it would be to get all caught up in FEAR mode? (False Evidence Appearing Real) I even caught myself thinking about stock piling food, creating a seed bank, and generally up our disaster preparedness.

All that is fine - but the problem with my thinking of all this, was how it was based in FEAR. If I can take a moment to catch my breath and find motivation to be living a self sustainable life (regardless of the number of disasters), I am creating a much different life experience.

It is a top priority for us, these days, to make decisions to ultimately be self sustainable. It is a very loving and grounded wish for our family to get to spend more quality time together, and to live in line with what we value.

How important it is (especially in these times) to take that moment to reground yourself and realign yourself with that inner feeling of love and peace. 

 

I was so happy to have found this little movie clip on David Icke's website, that pretty much sums it all up;

 

Love or Fear? It's your choice.

 

 

Aspartame, Fluoride, GMO, Pharmaceuticals, Mc Donald's & Population Control

Is it just me, or is this information becoming common knowledge?

Not too long ago, it seemed I was going against the grid. My kids were the only ones I knew to use fluoride free toothpaste. My quest for eliminating aspartame and sharing aspartame research with diet pop drinkers was met with anger. "How could I be such a conspiracy theorist?" 

We've come a long way since refusing aspartame was weird.

This video also addresses population control. I so hope that's not the agenda - but it would be rather naive to think that all these additives/poisons are in our food to keep us healthy?

 

I had my older children watch this with me too, I need them to know.

 

Aspartame - sweet poison

I had to have a talk with my oldest daughter the other day. She had been to a birthday party and in her "loot bag" was a pack of Trident gum. She chewed one and hid the rest in her bed, but was so nervous about sneaking stuff from me, that she had to confess.

Aspartame was one of the first words she could say as a toddler (along with hydrogenated oil - after the usual baby words) so I never paused to think that she wasn't clear on just WHY it was so bad to chew a stick of gum sweetened with Aspartame.

We watched this documentary together. She found it VERY informative and will do what it takes to avoid aspartame in the future.

 

With 92 common health side effects of aspartame - we don't understand how people still choose to consume it.
