Uniting into One for Masterful Co-Creation


As we explore the ways in which we can contribute to the upliftment, enlightenment, and expansion of consciousness on the planet, we seek to align to intentions and actions that facilitate the change we desire to bring about in the world around us.

 


Initially, we focus upon our personal paths of awareness and embodiment of the compassion, peace, and positive change we aim to become. We spend time in creativity and contemplation to discover the ways in which our soul is designed to contribute to an awakening humanity as we influence others in a positive way. We develop healthy habits, take courses to expand our wisdom and capabilities, and engage in activities that nurture the creative spirit within.

 
This desire we hold within naturally magnetizes those of like-mind who hold similar visions. We reach a point where we evolve into an expanded state of awareness where we recognize the value in gathering with others to create additional momentum via collective efforts. Research has shown the significant impact that aligned groups have upon the resonance of reality. It is an important time in which to focus upon unified efforts that raise the frequency.

 

What does it mean to unite?

To unite means that you are joining forces with others to expand the field of potential and influence. Have you ever noticed the magical momentum that is created when you and a friend discuss efforts, events, and other initiatives that are focused upon your passions and joys? You align to the infinite stream of creativity that is available to all who seek it. Resources even begin to align and enable the manifestation of your ideas.  

 

What are the ways in which we can unite?

Uniting can be as simple as joining with another friend to explore the ways in which your efforts can complement one other. It can be a matter of sharing resources or seeking to expand your team, group, or activity to reach larger audiences. It can be gathering with those in your local area who have similar interests. It can even be on a global, or even galactic, scale as barriers are diminished, divisiveness dissolves, and we realize that many of us really are ONE and have a common goal.

 

What are the beneficial aspects of uniting?

Gathering in focused groups can sway the collective consciousness into a higher resonance. It can facilitate the exponential growth of awareness and influence to gently whisper words of societal and evolutionary change into the ears of humanity. It can create a unified wave of inspiration, empowerment, and possibility.

 

What barriers can limit unity?

Ownership, language barriers, geographic limitations, effort required, and self-interest can sometimes hinder the formation of unified efforts. With perseverance and clever approaches, the intention of uniting can still unfold in many ways. Continued focus and momentum can be carried forward, but the efforts need to be constantly nurtured.

 

How do I begin to unite with others?

Set the intention to unite with others, map out your goal and desired actions and outcomes, develop ways in which others can join you, create your vision board, and ask the universe and your Higher Self for continual assistance and alignment to the highest good.

 



Importance of uniting now

The current energetic intensity and rapidity of manifestation amplify the importance of staying focused upon the outcome you wish to create and energies with which you wish to align. Every thought and emotion join together in the fertile soil of expanded consciousness to build a reality around you. This dance of energy and intention influence the collective reality and fluidly shape existence in every moment. By refining your thoughts and emotions, you empower and magnify the frequency of reality to which you are aligned. We hold responsibility for steering the collective ship into the winds of potential, positivity, and possibility.    

 

Answering the call to unite

Within these intense energetic waves of transmutation arise clear upwellings of the desires of your soul to fulfill its mission and purpose. As we all align to our personal and unique contributions to the upliftment of the planet, we masterfully shape the energetic photons of possibility into an orchestra of unified and creative order. Collectively, we flow through the chaos to pave the way for evolutionary change.

 

Unity is contagious

As you explore what it personally means to you to unite in common efforts to embody a higher resonance of reality, your newfound momentum makes you eager to show others a better way. The energy field of possibility, empowerment, imagination, and freedom feel more available to you than ever, and you witness the rise of hope, faith, compassion, and equality in yourself, as well as in the collective. Others with similar intentions and visions will be attracted to the visions you hold for the future, which is actually here now.     

 


Your next steps and active intentions

With whom will you choose to resonate? To which reality do you choose to align? Maintain a vigilant focus upon your thoughts and emotions as the intensified energies flow into the atmosphere of the planet. Ride the waves, and release any negative, fear-based, or distracting streams of thought in the collective. Stay aligned to the higher frequency, and unite with others to anchor the inflow of higher potential energies that enable us to collectively co-create the pathway to a calm, focused, empowered, balanced, purposeful, and resolved reality.

 

Each morning, rise out of bed with the zeal of a renewed life and purpose and state the following (feel free to customize): 

 

“I AM NOW uniting in common purpose to uplift, inspire, and co-create the highest potential frequency of reality.”

The World Merges into ONE


We align our intentions and focus upon that which is important to each of us as individuals. For me, it is one thing. For you, it is another.

We each share a piece of our personal puzzle and consciously (or subconsciously) contribute to the overall mindset, attitude, and behavior of humanity.  We choose what to share with others, and we choose what to energize and attract to ourselves.

 

When faced with a choice to support this way or that way, we align to the ideals that we perceive as being in accordance with what we deem to be our priorities.

 

What if ~ underneath it all ~ they really are the same visions, hopes, and dreams?

 

Does the future hold separation and division, or does it pave the way for greater opportunities to practice unconditional peace and compassion for every situation, place, and soul?

Are there greater possibilities that exist in the landscape of collaboration? Shall a new respectful environment be seamlessly created by our loving intentions to lift up one another and recognize the beauty within every soul? Will we support that which brings forth the reverence, respect, and Divine right for every living being to be comforted by feelings of safety, support, prosperity, and well-being?

 

If you had a blank slate, what would you choose to place upon it?




We are all collective stewards of the human race, and we have the ability to empower and facilitate the return to a harmonious and peaceful society.    

 

Since we are all reflections of each other, there is not a possibility to be ostracized for being human. This beautiful planet provides a home for each of us and unites us all in life regardless of our perception of externality.

 

We are all brothers, sisters, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, children, and grandparents, and we can all recognize the desire within each of us to bring out the best in ourselves and others to ensure a bright future for all upon the planet.   

 

We move forward with the ability to envision that which we see to be of the highest good.  For when we align to the immense collective energy of positive potential and possibility….well, how can it be otherwise?

Visions of New Syria


A Love Letter of Peace, Hope, and Possibility 


Visions of New Syria

She awoke in the morning to a whole new world filled with a sense of peaceful stillness and restoration. The chaos was dissolved as a gentle, calm world emerged and settled into its new home.

A flowing, immense field of compassion permeated the air, the ground, the water, the animals, and the people.  It was so foreign – yet so familiar – to be surrounded by a natural state of balance, respect, love, and most importantly – possibility and potential. 

Freedom has returned and will once again gently guide and inspire the evolution of the community back to one of equal respect, compassion, and love.  It is a time of forgiveness and unconditional love as everyone reflects upon the adversity that has been overcome.

Gratitude is offered to all involved as a collective decision is reached to try a new approach – one free of judgment, control, prejudice, and chaos. Recognition is made as the natural state of mutual respect is once again guiding the hearts and decisions of a nation and all of those involved.

Kindness is acknowledged for those who offered love, support, and refuge for the affected citizens – as well as those who continued to love all parties involved knowing in their hearts that peace would eventually prevail and that the light would shine in the hearts of every soul. They now serve as inspirational guides to show what can be possible and set forth to co-create a world free of war and conflict, imbued with the spirit of liberation, respect, and endless potential.

She sings….

“I AM the New Syria.”

“I AM Here Now.”

#PeaceinSyria



N.B. The power of positive collective intention enables the transformation of situations, events, and reality. When gathered with others focusing on the same vision and hope, we empower possibility and create a platform for peace and resolution to be brought to fruition.
 
We have the collective power to shift every situation to a higher, peaceful state – just by positive focused intention. You can assist by infusing peace through meditation, prayer, and visualization into regions where it is needed and envision a perfected state of existence. Consider it done.  Thank you for your inspired assistance!     

If you like, you are welcome to actively join in the peace efforts by practicing regular prayer and meditation. Check out the Meditation on Twin Hearts, which is what we utilize in our Pranic Healing MeetUp group.

Build Strength and Resilience through Stillness

You wake up in the morning and feel an invisible intensity within you.  You feel a heightened sense of emotion – whether it be love, joy, happiness, anticipation, or sadness, anxiety, worry, anger, depression, despair, and fear – as you proceed through the day.  You feel a sense of exhaustion or tiredness and feel a need for deeper rest than usual.  You are having intense headaches or migraines.  You feel unexplainable deep aches within your body or maybe you are sensing/hearing ringing in your ears.    
 
You see and hear people react with intensified passion.  You see chaos in your surroundings, in the lives of friends and families, and in society at large.  You see magnificent acts of kindness while you also see acts of violence around the world.  You see positive adjustments in the mindset and actions of friends and co-workers, and you sense a collective shift within humanity.   

You walk outside in the bright sunshine, and you see a vividness that is more alive than ever. {Please take the time to acknowledge the beauty around you!} The sun is emanating an invisible, quantum field of potentiality that is open to your creative interpretation.


Will you choose to flow with these miraculous energies of potential - unaffected by the chaos as you practice unconditional love and compassion while being free of judgment - or will you find yourself in the depths of anxiety, confusion, fear, and despair?  

The choice is yours from moment to moment.  You can choose to expand or diminish your awareness, consciousness, personal frequency, and attitude.  You make this choice each second of each day.  It is a beneficial practice to be very aware of your state of mind!

It is suggested that as each feeling, thought, difficulty, or environmental stimulus arises, you flow through it without attachment or judgment.  A peaceful, centered, calm, and resilient state of mind can be quite helpful in managing these intense waves of emotion and upheaval in this present (and future) time. 

Here are some suggestions on how to reach and maintain a sense of inner calmness:
 
Sit in Stillness

-         Set aside dedicated time EACH day to sit in silence (at least 10 minutes, but suggested to be 30 minutes if possible)
-          Detach yourself from all external stimuli (cell phone, computer, TV) for this silent period
-          Begin to relax in a comfortable position and take a few long deep breaths
   o   Enhance the experience with a candle, incense, or your favorite essential oil fragrance (for calming, or anxiety/stress relief, I absolutely LOVE the TRANQUIL mixture from Young Living or I can even make a custom spray blend for you, such as my Stream of Serenity blend)
-          Choose to listen to calm, soothing music if you find it helpful
-          Feel free to begin your stillness session with the citing of a positive statement, affirmation, or mantra

o   Try this one: {“Amid the stress, distraction, constant motion, and stimuli in my surroundings, I AM a peaceful island of serenity, and I resonate to the sound of silence.  I take a deep breath to release tension, chaos, and disharmony and replace it with the comfort of stillness.”}

-         Let go, release all thoughts, and quiet your mind……
-          Repeat, repeat, and repeat throughout the week so you can continually build your mental and emotional strength

Additional Suggestions

-          Take ample time to rest and rejuvenate when possible.  If you feel you need extra rest, please respect the needs of your body and treat it with kindness!
-          Mind your mental chatter – focus on positive thoughts and occupy your mind with statements of gratitude (no need for negative self-talk, anger towards others, judgment…)
-          Take regular walks in nature and walk barefoot when you can
-          Take time to engage in activities that bring you JOY
-          Try to take a regular hot bath with Epsom salt (check out my favorites from the Dead Sea) infused with your favorite essential oils
-         Eat healthy, live foods (lots of fruits and vegetables)
-          Plan time to engage in regular exercise (Don’t overdo it – your body is incorporating lots of extra energy from the sun right now!)
-          Start your day with a positive, upbeat attitude and be thankful for the gift of another day
-          Make lifestyle changes as needed to support your personal growth
-          Detach from stressful situations
-          Reward yourself with playtime J

Some days will bring about feelings of elation, and some days will about bring tears and heavy emotions.  Do not try to suppress feelings of discomfort – just experience them and let them go.     

Chaos Precedes Change

If you find difficulty in managing intense emotions or feelings of anxiety, worry, fear, or depression, and you feel that you cannot cope, feel free to reach out to me (love@letearthrise.com), and I will be pleased to offer support and comfort. 

Please offer to do the same for your friends and family as there will (now and in the near future) be a need to amplify your compassion for those around you – as well as yourself!  Be prepared for the times ahead.

Remember, that you can choose to float through this shift in joy and elation knowing that you can create miracles or you can get bogged down by fear, chaos, and worry with a sense of victimization. 

What will you choose?  Whatever it is, please remember to be kind to yourself and to those around you.  We are all in this together!

PEACE and the Real Isis on International Women’s Day

Ladies, there seems to be an empowerment surfacing, and I feel the excitement of this special day, March 8, 2015! It’s fun to see what events have unfolded as part of the celebration of International Women’s Day whose 2015 motto is Make it Happen.  If you are interested, check out participant-run events in your area!  Also, check out the neat stories featured around the world on this eventful day.  

{Join the social media conversation by using #IWD2015 or searching on Google with the #IWD2015 hashtag, as well as #MakeItHappen, #PaintItPurple, and #InternationalWomensDay.}

It appears to be an opportune time to bring about the ideals, intentions, and positive attitudes of those interested in representing peace, equality, and respect. 
 
In honor of International Women’s Day, I have a personal desire to raise awareness regarding PEACE over Conflict, and I’d like to take a fun, insightful moment to feature the Real Isis, rather than the current campaign promoting chaos and conflict.
 
 
{ If you are with me, feel free to promote #GoddessIsis and #IsisTheGoddess in your social media so folks can gain some awareness, and together we can re-focus her revered name on the feminine power to which she is connected! }

While we are at it, let’s take a stroll down Isis lane.  We shall begin with the historical representation of Isis as a Goddess - the strong, wise, female archetype with which I believe most of us are familiar and a model for ladies of today to aspire to in terms of determination, respect, and feminine power. 

Let’s fast forward to the 70s when a TV show, The Secrets of Isis, re-ignited a love, awareness, and respect for Isis. Her ideology is brought forth through a talented science teacher who comes into possession of a powerful artifact that connects her to the inherent powers and wisdom of the Goddess.  If you have not seen any episodes, you’ll love these!  How fun it is to reminisce…. Check out all episodes if you are feeling so inspired.
 
We can stroll ahead to the current time and check out the most recently launched model of the Toyota Isis.  To be honest, it is only available outside of the USA, but it’s still fun to recognize!  While you are at it, you can visit the official Toyota Japanese site to check out the newest version of this ride. 

I personally enjoy focusing on these fun versions of Isis.  

To come back full circle and wrap up my thoughts regarding the idea of peace, I wanted to make a bit of a contribution to the events slated for International Women’s Day with a focus on peace. 

https://www.facebook.com/events/1600048523543678/
 
My dear friend, Blanca Dominguez (founder of Ecotourism for the Soul), and I are hosting a special, PEACE PRAYER FOR THE SOUL, a collaborative peace-focused reflection, prayer, and nine-day novena to co-occur in Austin, Texas, and in Colombia and Mexico.  We will feature a daily set of prayers and reflections for the next 9 days. If you want to connect with us to help set forth peaceful wishes and intentions, you are most welcome to do so!  Join us virtually (Facebook event in English or join in Espanol) and share your thoughts regarding the amplification of peace in the world.  You can even post your comments below this blog post. J   We hope to see you there!  #PeacePrayerForTheSoul.  It starts today!

Even if you are unable to attend any live events, why not focus some time during the week to envision what it means to celebrate women and the important role they play in today’s society? Spark your creativity and let your ideas flow forth in a poem, draw or sketch a picture that depicts the beauty of the feminine, write a blog post to inspire a fellow lady, or share a cute photo on Instagram about all of us ‘sisters’ who are all in this together.  Ladies, like the motto says, Make it Happen!

You might be excited to see what is to occur……

Please check out the International Women’s Day site to see the amazing events that women have coordinated and become inspired by some recent news stories and image compilations featuring the subject.

A T O M (A Time of Miracles)


Looking upon the vastness below, I see endless bright, shining lights emanating across the planet / galaxy /universe. 

Akin to a stream of beautiful Christmas lights or a network of intricately placed flashes of brilliance, they shimmer brightly and signify the magnificent light of LOVE, PEACE, and RADIANCE.  

Glimpses of the perfection of the universe flash before my eyes.  A following vision displayed a very clear and brilliant “A T O M” spelled out in front of the vastness of the surrounding stars.     

I shared these lovely images with a dear friend of mine, and as I shared my experience with her, she received a message from her higher guidance.  They whispered into her ear, “It’s a Time of Miracles.”  So that’s what ATOM represents!

I couldn’t agree more……
