Daily rituals to live like a Goddess

Guest post by Kirsty Gallagher

Every time I am with my soul sister, and other half of my Solstice Goddess Retreat Ibiza, Kirsty Gallagher I learn so much.  

There I will be pushing and struggling and trying to sprint to the finish line (I guess somewhere along the way I decided that life had to be a race… hmmm) and Kirsty will be there, anchored in her power, her sweet femininity, moving and flowing (patiently) with divine grace.

I want to share some of her energy with you so I asked to her tell us her secrets… her daily practices that help her stay grounded into the energy.

And this is what she said…

 

 

Kirsty’s daily rituals:

1) Check in with how you are feeling – HONESTLY!

As women we are made to feel, intuit, empathise and know. Over time however we’ve been taught that certain emotions are ‘negative’ and so sadly we have learned they are ‘bad’ and to shut them off and ignore them, not allowing them (and ourselves) to be heard and expressed. The truth is that there are no negative emotions at all and each one of them is teaching is something that’s completely useful and relevant to us in that moment. Get back in touch with that deep Shakti power to FEEL and to KNOW. At the start of each day (and several times through the say of you can) stop, pause and ask yourself “how am I feeling RIGHT NOW”. Notice if you immediately judge the emotion and then just be with whatever it is that you are feeling. Some days it’s joyous, happy, loved and others it’s sad, frustrated and maybe even angry. Know that it’s ok not to be ok sometimes and just honour that place within you that is feeling this emotion. The more you tune in to yourself with present moment awareness, no matter what that awareness shows up for you, the more you’ll begin to be able to accept and heal the emotions rather than letting them take over and express in some other way (as they will) Through this you’ll also get to know yourself and your needs a lot better – this is about honouring YOU and knowing you are perfect however you are.

2) A few moments of silence – for YOU

Once you’ve checked in take a few moments of silence, just FOR YOU. Make it a time that you don’t have to worry about anyone or anything else (as women we are healers, mothers, girlfriends, wives, partners, friends, aunties and everything else in between!) and instead focus on setting the intention for your day ahead. If you have a meditation practice now would be the ideal time, otherwise for just a few simple minutes come back to your breath, yourself and simply BE. How can you possibly be everything to everybody if you are running on empty? This is your time to fuel up and check in with yourself, giving yourself the gift of a few moments of time out to focus simply on YOU. This will open up a whole world of intuitive insights and inner power that comes from being completely in tune with your magical Shakti self.

3) Draw a card

I LOVE working with cards, Doreen Virtue’s Goddess Guidance are my favourite for working with the Shakti energy. Drawing a card each morning gives me a focus point for my day and I always find that the cards are completely relevant and often a timely reminder! This morning for example I picked “Sorceress – you are a magical person who can manifest your clear intentions into reality” This started my day in the most magical way and reminded me of my power to manifest whatever I put my intention into, so it helped me to be very clear today too on my intentions and what I was putting out there into the Universe! Some days it’s as simple as Step Outside, which leads me to my next point…

4) Be in nature

Everything in the world moves in cycles and as women we are completely tuned into this with a monthly cycle of our own. Be in nature as often as you can, she is a great healer. If you can be barefoot for even a few moments a day on the smallest piece of grass you will notice a huge difference in your energy levels and connection to the deep wisdom of the earth’s energy. You can also find great inspiration from nature, the way she lets go with no fear of what is coming next, the way she deeply roots in her own truth yet allows herself to be gently swayed by the passing breeze, the way she just knows and trusts that every need will be fulfilled. Allow nature to whisper her secrets to you as often as you can.

5) Find an anchor

Find something that you can come to in times of both need and also happiness. This anchor will hold you in place when everything feels like it’s spinning out of control. It could be crystals (I have a crystal for every occasion and often have one or two in my bra!) or journaling to express and let out you emotions and inner feelings. Morning pages are an amazing daily anchor point; each morning set aside a few moments to write whatever it is that comes to you in the moment. Don’t censor or judge it, just go with your flow. Mantras and mudras are also incredible for holding you together and bringing you into the present moment. Try a few and see what really works for you to help keep you grounded and anchored.

Thank you Kirsty… deep gratitude for your wisdom.

I can’t wait to see you again in Ibiza on our magical retreat!

Dreams are the language of Spirit

In these past months, almost every night I’ve been dreaming of sitting in sacred ceremony with the ancient ones in different parts of the world, uniting with other energies and souls to do the light work I am here to do. In last night’s dreamscape there was sadness as I knew I had to say goodbye to some people to fully go on my mission… And it’s always a bit sad saying goodbye to an old way of being.

Now… this has got me thinking… 

I’m wondering now if this is actually happening in my dreamtime?  Or perhaps my soul is travelling from my body to connect to other souls to do the sacred work.

My heart says yes….  this is truth… 

Here’s the thing dear ones… There is so much energy on this planet right now, and so much powerful work to do we are in process in our sleep, either being upgraded, or “worked on” as Mum and I have always said, or perhaps continuing your mission in another dimension.

Too far out you may say?  Trust me… this is only the beginning!

This may be too much for some of you but I actually feel I’m doing it all simultaneously and that I’m far better at bi-locating (being in two places at once) that I give myself credit for.

In fact, we ALL ARE but we haven’t woken up to this yet.  But we will soon…

The veil is lifting more and more each day and WOW is it an honour to be here working with, working through, supporting you, and feeling supported….

Our dreamtime is powerful process time and I invite you to remember your dreams…

How do you do that you may ask?  Simply set and intention and request it before bed.  Ask in your inner voice or speak it loud… I  AM REMEMBERING MY DREAMS!

When you wake, write what flows, write your dream map or dream story, and use the symbology of the mind to help you work out what is happening to you.

My favourite dream book is The Dreamer’s Dictionary by Barbara Condron but, having accidentally (or perhaps serendipitously) left it behind in Sydney during my recent India trip I’ve been more freestyle in my dream analysis… I simply journal and ‘feel’ what it all means to me.

So yes, it’s perfectly normal to see me waking and scribbling illegible notes… Particularly now as we are in such a state of shift.

Look out for a post soon on how to decipher dreams and some key symbology (coming next week).  

I must also say… Sometimes when I write this stuff, my logical mind comes in and says  ’is this for real?’… I promise you this information just flows out of me in transmission…

And what I want to assure and remind you is that what we believe with our whole heart (with no resistance) becomes our reality… whatever you give your energy to comes true.

So even the wildest and wackiest most alchemistic inklings can become part of our reality…

So long as we BELIEVE.

(yes, even bi-location and teleportation – we are already doing it but our 3D self doesn’t realise!)

Pretty neat huh?

If you have questions… Ideas…. Anything you want to share… Please email me.

Or even a dream you want some clarity on and I’ll ask the higher energies for an answer for you (or check in with my trusty book),

And… Guess what? Jupiter has just fine direct again — phew — so let’s give thanks that our lives (in my case my business) feels like it’s flowing again…!

YAY life… it all feels so radiant and exciting!  This paradigm shift is a cause for celebration!

Love and blessings!

Are you looking for ‘THE ONE?’

Lately I have been surrounded by incredible goddesses looking for their Shiva.  These women have been doing their inner work, letting go of their sh%#t, clearing away the old patterns and blockages and manifesting SO HARD… yet he still hasn’t shown up!

This is a message to all my goddesses out there… do not give up hope… simply practice patience!

I remember my days of seeking my true love.  I dated guys all over the world and fell head over heels in love with all of them, hoping and praying that each one would be THE ONE.  I used to tell my Dad about my love interest of the week, often making the story sound better than the reality and Dad’s responses were always the same.  I could hear the protective father-esque concern in his voice when I told him how happy I was, despite a long list of ‘ifs’, ‘buts’ andchallenges… and every time he told me…

when it is right you won’t have to try so hard. ‘

And naturally, he was right (he is going to LOVE reading this post).

But, you see, I was impatient.

I was ready… every cell in my body was ready to meet my man, to find love and to find the support that I was craving.  More than anything I was yearning to allow myself to soften into the goddess I truly am and stop feeling the pressure to do it all on my own.

But he wasn’t quite ready for me yet…

Luckily for me I have a magical Mamma who channels my higher self and my guides (and yes, I can as well but often on matters of the heart and things that get me in my head and in a funk it’s easier to go via a third party).  ** You can book in for a session with her too if you like (detail are below) and she saved me with her insights in many a dark time.

I feel like there are 5 big factors in finding your soul mate – and I’m sharing them here:

#1 – are you as ready as you think you are?

Even when we feel like we have done all the work, created our vision boards, placed our order to the Universe we are often unconsciously blocking ourselves.  There are countless examples of the power of words and affirmation (look at Danielle Laporte’s apple experiment) and if we were able to truly keep ourselves accountable for our self chat, and thought patterns I feel we would have a giant A-HA moment about why things often do not go our way…

Why?

Because we block the energy! For example, in one breath you could be thinking/affirming – I am meeting the man of my dreams and he has brown hair (possibly in a man bun), blue eyes and beard – and also sending out the message via your inner chat – I’m not worthy of love… or I’m not good enough… or I just want freedom! 

As much as the unified field of energy is hyper intelligent, it is also simplistic in the way it receives messages.  If you ask for one thing and then counter it with another contradictory thought it will get confused and stop delivering.   Rather a simplistic way of looking at it but you get the idea.

So it is up to you to monitor the messages you are actually sending out… get quiet and ask your body – “Am I actually as ready as I want to believe I am?”    you might be surpised at how the wisdom of your body answers you.

 #2 – timing is key

I remember when Mum channelled for me about my future man the message was loud and clear.  My galactic support team of angels and energetic beings were doing their bit to bring us together as fast as possible but we both had other stuff we had to do first.

You can read the full and uncensored message below:

Ugh… had a really big night on Sat night.  I am living in the extremist zone… ugh!   Feeling a little sad and lonely to be honest.  Feeling like I want a boyfriend… hmmm.. x

Here is Mum’s channeled message reply:

Dear One, and dear Sarah-Jane

In this time we feel for you. The intensity of your feelings are palpable to us. We understand. We empathise. We feel from the heart your longing.

This longing is not just for a loved one, a journey-mate, a person with whom you can have fun, tenderness and intimacy. It is for a bigger love. It is for the love of the Universe as you know it. The Universe is creating a vacuum into which many souls are drawn. This love is beyond what you have known before. It is a pool of intensity that will inspire you, will uplift you, will set you free.

But before you are immersed in that pool of love, certain things must line up, as you say. Certain things must fall into place. Certain things must be fulfilled. You are not in control of this. We are sad to tell you that there will be some patience required. But there is also a knowing. This love yearning will be fulfilled. When the time is right and everything else is ready.

In the meantime, we urge you to continue just as you are, laying the groundwork for such a loving relationship to enter your life, to surround your life. It will. Be sure of this. And when you least expect it. Do the unexpected. Do the surprising things. You will be rewarded as surely as when you do the expected things.

We bless you and we love you. We are always here for you to contact, either through your sacred mother or directly yourself. But you know that the path is yours to discover. We can only offer companionship of a certain kind, of a loving kind, of a guiding kind. You must be your own teacher. And you must follow your own clues, your own lessons, your own heart.

Blessed be, sweet one.

aaaah patience… why is that one always so challenging (but necessary)?!  I truly believe that we all have a partner coming for us but we must be patient, do our work, practice self love to lay the foundations and wait for the moment of divine timing.

This happened for me about 5 months after this message came through… on a dance floor in Ibiza where I randomly (or perhaps perfectly) started talking to a man called Joseph and within in a few short days of powerful energy and peeking behind the veil and seeing each other for who we truly are … I had finally found my Shiva!

All I can say is – It’s about freaking time!  When Joe and I found this recognition it was like we had danced this dance for lifetimes and our magical team was back together to complete our light work on earth… and the Universe agreed, so much so that whilst standing on a roof top in Ibiza, when Joe said “I don’t know what comes next but I know we have to do it together”  a giant shooting star or meteorite flew across the sky and exploded.  Yep, we took it as a sign!        

Flick to the end of this post for more channelling excerpts and how to book in with my Mamma for your own channelling session.

#3 – is it a partner’s love that we are actually yearning for?

The messages from my guides confirmed what I already knew.  I was not only craving for this feeling of union with another being, but actually re-union with the Divine / Great Spirit / the Universe.

We often get so confused by our feelings of fragmentation, the feeling of missing someone or something and we think that we can fill the gap in the physical world (with a man, with food, with drugs and money etc)… when really this craving for loving union and wholeness is occurring on a far more energetic, etheric level.  We come from Spirit and we return to Spirit and often the time spent on Earth can feel disconnected and challenging, giving rise to feelings of being incomplete and wanting to go home.

this is our journey of learning dear ones… 

The more I wake up to who I truly am (which is far greater than the physical body I am riding around in) I do my best to commune with the Divine in all that I do and, in doing so, am mending the painful feelings of separation.  I have found the wholeness within that allowed my to find the union without (with my love Joe).

We search for the support of another on our journey (well I do anyway), when really must look within to find this feeling of love, trust and unwavering support of something bigger than ourselves… something that is the ultimate DIVINE and UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

So check in with yourself – are you able to feel the love and support of the Universe deep within your heart?  Or are you looking outside…?

The answers lie within… 

#4 – we are out of balance with our masculine and feminine energies  

The return to the scared feminine is big right now as it is the healing that many of us need to bring us back into balance (particularly women who have literally ‘man-ed up’ to survive.  But at the same time, as goddesses, we must allow our men to stand in their masculine power.  To relinquish the control, let go of the reigns and allow them to drive, as this is what they are hardwired wired to do.

As we goddesses reconnect to our Shakti power and begin to reveal it to our men, it can often come off as too big, too primal, and too wild, particularly if the men themselves are out of balance energetically.

As Shakti’s we want to be held by our strong Shiva’s, to feel safe to be vulnerable, to be emotional, to be wild and sexual all at the same time and if they are not quite there to meet us in this energy the union might not harmonise.  You see, this whole topic is like a cosmic dance… and this dance is also going on within each and every one of us as our own masculine and femeinine energies see-saw from side to side, trying to find the equilibrium…

and it is coming.  I promise it is coming!    But until then we must check in with ourselves, to do our own work to find the inner balance, falling into harmony with the rhythm of the earth and hold space for our partners as they too are on their own journey of shiva / shakti harmony.

#5 – we are yet to nail the self love.  

We hear about it a lot, but are we really able to do it…? I mean truly and unconditionally love ourselves in every moment?  To find the compassion for the world we must first find it inside… and the same goes for calling in a partner.  We must first heal the wounds inside, reset the old programming and step into the magical being we truly are!

Check in with yourself every day, monitor your thoughts and your self chat.. stare at yourself and the mirror and truly SEE YOURSELF… and love what you see (or maybe you do not love what you see and you realise there is still work to be done… there is always more work to be done!)

So in summary, as I feel I could write about this forever… do not panic, he or she is coming for you… faster than you know!

Practice radical self love…

Practice patience…

Harmonise your inner Shiva and Shakti…

and TRUST in the support of your Galactic Light team… they are working around the clock to bring about that moment of divine alignment when you will meet your twin flame.

I love you… the Universe loves you… now it is time for YOU to love YOU!

Here is another little part of another channelled message – there is a big vibration behind these words so get ready to receive it … and maybe it will help you too:

Know that this is only temporary. Know that this is a process, the unfolding of life, the revisiting of the pull and push of certain energies. The learning process will eventually (trust us on this!) dissipate the compounding of energy relating to issues of relationships. This of course is one of the greatest reasons for experiencing life on Gaia, on your Earth planet, for it is only there that one can make tremendous strides in experiencing all that love has to offer, both the negative and the positive forces.

The negative forces are powerful in this case, in the case of Sarah-Jane’s attraction to certain males (I may have made some questionable choices), but with each unfolding the energy is refined and understood and it soon will have a levelling out rather than the ‘roller-coaster’ effect. She should know by now that timing is everything. There will come the right time, the right person at the right time. She must be ready for this but not anticipating it. The focus should be on self-love until that time, the time of creating a new family, a new life, a new start. For there begins a new story entirely!

As for your daughter’s endeavours in her new field, shall we say fields, because she will be picking up the threads of many possibilities and playing them all out to the best of her abilities. She will be in demand, she will be learning rapidly to adapt to new situations, situations where she is more in control however, and this will please her greatly. For she is ready to establish her own base, her own identity, her own umbrella of skill-based products. She will be using the primary energy of yoga to commence many new projects, new connections, new foundations.

Of course there will be initially some anxiety or concern about success, about whether such ventures are possible, whether they will ‘fly’. But this will be short-term only. And the ‘haywire’ feeling is something that precedes the new energy patterns. It is good to have a time of freedom, of allowing the lines of energy to fall into new patterns of attraction. It may feel very uncomfortable at times but when they fall into harmony the new peaceful energy is most welcomed.

And do not forget that passion also creates a scattering of energy. There is no action without reaction. She is not to feel that her time has been wasted or lost. It was a necessary reigniting of dormant feelings. These feelings were strong for both parties, and honest. Only good has come of it. Only love can produce such overwhelming conditions, and these feelings should be cherished as something unique.

The future is not for us to comment upon except to say that your daughter has nothing to be concerned about except that she will rise up beyond all expectations. It is the strength of her emotions that may be at times overwhelming but this too she will learn to accept, to go within and allow the changes to occur and to welcome them. For she has no place for fear, for anxiety, for any sense of loss, in her heart. Those times are in the past. Letting go of such negative energies causes some grieving but then the space will be created for new feelings of love, of success, of harmony, of wonder, of joy to flow in.

Now, dear one, you are again moving along a path. We are patient in our offering you some signs along the way. We are more excited than you are in your explorations of life, but we delight in your encompassing of all that you meet with equanimity. It is a mindset that few attain, and it suits you and serves you well
