So last month was a challenging month for my family. My son ended up in the emergency room and eventually diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Quite the shocker for us. He's always been thin with a fast metabolism and never needed to watch what he ate. Now because this just happens to be something in his genetic make-up he has to keep track and is insulin-dependent. But he can still live a happy full life either way! I realized I was holding my breath for a couple of weeks till we finally found a rhythm with this new diagnosis and way of living. I had to practice a few deep breathing techniques, relax my shoulders and let go. Practicing what I preach! A couple weeks after that I had to go in for surgery again to have one ovary removed. At least I have the other one, teehee. :) Life deals us only that which we can handle. And I'm so grateful for all the family & friends in my life who came to help with all the odds and ends that needed helping (including my very supportive hubby). That being said, this month is a beautiful one to celebrate. Spring equinox just passed! I can't wait to open my windows and hear the birdies once again! My favorite season and I can already hear the dozens of birds outside my window in the early morning. yay. :) Simone Matthews of ULT states: “The Equinox is a powerful portal gateway to ascension into higher levels of consciousness. At this time of unity, the feminine & masculine merge as one, opening opportunities to unify duality within our selves, and expand our awareness to greater dimensional/light octave levels.” Also astrologically, we had a Super Moon on the 5th and the Equinox with a Total Solar Eclipse in the New Moon all happened on Friday, the 20th. Simone Matthews of ULT also reports: "We have the 7th and last Uranus/Pluto Square.... creating a most divine quantum potential, to move beyond perceived limitations and to transform through the heart...." It's a powerful month to move. Take a few meditative moments and allow the energy to sink in on these special days and every moment you can. It is my desire that you enjoy this month's Inspire You Article below, Butterfly Effect, the Yoga Pose of the Month and this month's question for my Dear Maggie column, 11:11 and Parth Synchronicities.

	Yoga Pose of the Month Runners Lunge (High Lunge with arms on mat) Sanskrit: Ardha Hanumanasana Photo of Maggie Anderson taken by Maggie Anderson at Humble Warrior in Walpole, MA Runners Lunge is a main component of the Sun Salutation Sequence. This pose is fantastic for stretching the hips, hip flexors, groin, inner thigh and calves. You are also strengthening your legs, back and arms in the process. It's also great for indigestion, backache, constipation and sciatica. A softening occurs in the groin and hip muscles, releasing tension. Directions on how to come into the pose: From Uttanasana (Standing Forward Fold), bend your knees and, with an inhale, step your right foot back toward the back edge of your mat, with the bottom of your toes and the ball of your foot on the floor. Be sure your front bent knee is over the ankle forming a right 90 degree angle. Your torso will be right on or hovering above your front thigh and lengthen your torso forward. You may choose to place your hands on blocks on either side of your front foot to lift your torso up and assist you in straightening your back. To soften your right groin, imagine that the thigh is sinking toward the floor under your torso's weight. Look forward (down if you have any neck soreness). To modify, lower the back knee down to the mat. Exhale and step your left foot back beside the right into Plank pose. Repeat the above instructions on the other side. You may also do this from DownDog, stepping one foot back at a time. When not to do this pose or to modify/Contraindications: If you have knee injuries you may need to modify, by lowering the back knee down on to the mat, or avoid this pose until you are in better condition to enjoy the benefits of this pose. Also, if you have neck issues be sure to look down at the floor instead of straight ahead. Place the back knee on the floor for support until strength and flexibility increase.

	Inspire You Article Butterfly Effect In chaos theory, “The butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the metaphorical example of the details of a hurricane (exact time of formation, exact path taken) being influenced by minor perturbations such as the flapping of the wings of a distant butterfly several weeks earlier. [Data found that] a very small change in initial conditions had created a significantly different outcome.” ~ Wikipedia.org Whether you know it or not you have an effect. You are a part of the whole. You affect the outcome no matter what you do. But it’s important to mention you will never miss anything you are meant to experience. Everything that happens is perfectly Divine and as it should be. And a part of that is to know and empower yourself in creating the life and outcome(s) you desire. Your bliss is your compass for fulfillment and enjoyment in life as well as how you affect the Universe. It’s your divine expression. We are all but one drop in the ocean, but each drop DOES count. Create YOUR inspired expression. Even just in meditation and experiencing peace, you are affecting the whole with your vibration. Everything we do affects the whole. Remember Jesus and the mustard seed. If you haven’t read this quote from the Bible, here is the quote from Jesus: “Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Jesus talks of just needing faith the size of a mustard seed and the effects are astounding. From the beginning of time we’ve been able to affect our reality. Many masters throughout time have been teaching us just that in many different ways. Yes, the Law of Attraction can and does affect the reality around you. However, life on Earth is yin and yang. We are on this planet to experience contrast. The good and the not-so-good. We can truly see the light at a deeper intensity when there is dark. We know where to look and gravity towards it. But yes, stuff happens and we must deal and flow with the waves. The ups and downs are a part of our experience on Earth. It’s up to us in how we react to these challenges life brings us. And as a part of our experience we also have the free will to let beat us down, roll over us and drag us to that downward spiral of negativity. Or we can rise above, be more uplifting and positive, gravitate towards light ANYWAY, in spite of the circumstances feel the highest power of the Universe (which is LOVE) ANYWAY and emit that from the deepest core of ourselves always. Energy is real. Angels, Fairies, Spirit Guides, Energy/Universe….all real. Alyssa Milano has said, “When you walk out with blinders on, you cut yourself from the Angels and the Fairies.” I believe. I’ve experienced the magic that comes from asking for their help. I’ve seen those miraculous things becoming easier because I’ve asked and allowed for assistance. Be open to: Anything is possible. Anything. Everything. We can’t possibly know all that is out there. But we can have faith, even just a little and watch miracles happen. Your gut, your intuition is going to tell you the truth. Your soul always knows the truth and you will feel that knowing. Be open. You might not be able to see it/them but it/they are there. Other times you DO see the signs from the Universe and choose to ignore them. Or, worse, you allow others who can’t see them decide your fate. It’s up to you to spread your light. Your energy is felt. Even the tiniest burst of energy creates a ripple in the Universe. The Butterfly Effect. Imagine what effects you have when you are at your optimum highest energetic happy peaceful faith-filled Self! Intensity is amazing. And intensity can be felt in the quiet peaceful moments. It’s doesn’t always have to be a big physical action. It begins inside. A feeling or energy deep within, always there untouched by the outside world. If you are pulled to create. Create. If you are pulled to be at peace. Be at peace. Follow your heart. Love is the highest, purest energy of the Universe. Be in the light. May you always know the peace that dwells within, ~ Maggie, Spiritual Cheerleader
	Dear Maggie Click here to submit *your* question for the Dear Maggie Column Dear Maggie, I am Kashmira, emailing you from India. The article that you have written has helped me a lot. Thank you for that. But I am still far from understanding why I keep seeing the name Parth and the numbers 11.11 everywhere. I am seeing that since three months now. I tried to decipher the meaning of that but failed. If you can, then please help me. Thank you. ~ Warm regards, Kashmira Dear Kashmira, Thank you for your email. :) Sounds like you are definitely waking up/awakening. One of the first symptoms people notice when they awaken are those signs & synchronicities you are experiencing. These signs happen when we are “asleep” in life but we just don’t notice them as much. Now, you’re spirit is awakening and it’s magical, amazing and a wild rollercoaster ride for your life! Since you’ve read my quick article regarding Signs & Synchronicities. There is more I have to say about this in my book, Divine Embrace. Also, I think you’ll really enjoy the Angel Numbers book by Doreen Virtue. She has a dictionary of numbers and their meanings! 1111 is the gateway number and so often the first number folks will see as a synchronicity. 333 is a beautiful vibration that I, too, receive often and is said to be the vibration of Jesus. 888 is abundance. Many signs are confirmation from the Universe that you are right on track with receiving that which you focus on. Be sure not to counteract any intention you have with opposite beliefs. Our core beliefs usually trump our wishes. Align and believe, have faith and then surrender it all to the Universe your wishes. Yes these are ALL signs from the Universe. The Universe sends us signs to not only confirm we are on the right path, but to help us wake up. Keep it up! Parth could be a name of your Spirit Guide trying to let you know they are near (unless you know of someone with that name). These signs are messages for you and you alone. I looked up Parth and the meaning I got is: Smart, cool, and a very great person and very damn sexy too. Parth can be taken to the extreme and be considered: a bit conceited and arrogant at times but that’s because of their confidence. Also, I find this very synchronistic: When I looked up this name on Google, the second link was to a meaning for “Arjuna” and not Parth. Odd. But worth exploring. Follow your intuition and the right messages are received. Arjuna is a person in the famous book Bhagavad-Gita: The warrior prince in the Bhagavad-Gita to whom Krishna expounds the nature of being, the nature of God, and the way humans can come to know God. To me that says, grab a copy of the Bhagavad-Gita. An amazing book that even has a western interpretation that may be easier to read. Up to what pulls you. But this will align your spirit, connect you and awaken you even more as you read. It’s an amazing read! It’s also the second time in two days that this book has been referenced for me, so I know I need to pick up that book again. :) What comes next for you is learning about Kundalini. Our Kundalini is our core Divine Essence. It lays dormant at the base of our tailbone, our Root Chakra, until something wakes it/us up. We receive many symptoms during our awakening process as methods to assist our body, mind and soul in connecting more deeply, and eventually leading to enlightenment. Please read below first more information I have from my book regarding signs & synchronicities. Then I’d like to discuss further (below) with you Kundalini. Excerpt from my book, Divine Embrace: Serendipities/Synchronicities. This is one of my favorite symptoms of them all. This is one of the first symptoms that people become aware of. Your awakening starts with many synchronistic events. As you become more aware you realize you are guided and connected to the Divine. Synchronicities, including the “right” Teacher, Master, Guru, Energy Worker, etc. will appear right when you need them in order to assist you in ascension. Synchronicities are sometimes tricky things to diagnose. My very first set of synchronicities that I actually started to notice were of the name "Michael" and the number "13". It wasn't just three times, it happened over and over again for weeks and to this day I still get them. It's been over a decade since those started. I'm sure that these (most of the time) happen because of a friend of mine named "Michael" who died on the 13th of November in 1990. He was the beginning to my awakening from living an unconscious life (for the most part). Michael died when I was sixteen and living almost totally unconscious. Seeing those synchronicities helped me in ways I can't even begin to comprehend. I know that just by having them occur it helped me question God more closely, the Universe and what it does "to" us and "for" us. How much of a pull do WE have and does the Universe have? Are synchronicities just happening do to the Law of Attraction because we asked for them or is it more? These are questions to ask. I feel much is our creation and since we have angelic helpers and spirit guides that assist us I believe they also have a hand in our creation at times to at least gently GUIDE us on our path. They know better than us what we set out to do in this life for our blueprint in life. God/Universe knows what we are meant to do better than we can, since we are blocked from this memory ourselves. The memory block is something we can work on. It’s there so we can freely choose to search out our Divine connection once again. (Or so I believe.) It's our choice if we want to primarily seek out our connection to the Universe again and I feel one of the MANY reasons for these signs is to do just that. Synchronicities and signs cause us to question and to BE IN THE MYSTERY of the Universe. It tells us there is unlimited potential, power and answers to our question that can be created in an instant. The vastness of the Universe just cannot be comprehended by our minds as they are in this 3D dimension. The more we meditate and consciously choose to be awake and follow our intuition and guidance the closer we become to our true Divine Connection. Sign and synchronicities are also a GINORMOUS sign for awakening within. They come up if you are about to or have already had a Kundalini spike that will lead you on a path to new heights. These signs DO come up when we wish them to via the Law of Attraction. What we focus upon expands. Where your attention goes energy flows. And then there are times these signs are coming even without us realizing we are attracting them by our thoughts or even when we are not attracting them. When this happens I ask that if these truly mean something and if I am meant to take some sort of action to please send it in three's. I also know that ALL of the answers are held within us. Answers to everything we could possibly question can be answered by us within us. We just have to focus, research if we are called, listen to our intuition and feel the answers when they come up. Another thing I know is that sometimes when I try to gain an answer to something that I just don't know or have doubts about and am totally blocked, a part of me DOES know the answer. Sometimes it helps to get an outside person to interpret and maybe come up with opinions and ideas. Other times hearing another’s opinion totally clouds my vision and makes my decision even more confusing to make. I then have to wipe the slate clean, remind myself that I always knew the answer (and I mean always) and go forth. If there is ever any confusion I know it is a sign to me that I must not do what I am pondering, but wait. Wait to see if it feels right later. Wait to see if nothing happens and suddenly I would know that I was never meant to do what I was pondering. Or the huge pull from within my gut basically drags me to do what I was putting off; calling it confusion but really it was procrastination. There's no right answer. Each of us are so totally unique so I could only give my opinion. But the answer truly is within you. Remember that Fear is not a basis for any decision. Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. I've found if the timing is not right with a relationship with someone or something else, then it's just not the right time and it may never be but sometimes it's just timing that will work out later. There is no need to rush. Life is happening only for the pure joy of it. We are here for our pure joyful experience. There is no other reason. Only our mind playing tricks on us. So perhaps many signs that come to us is the reminder is do what feels most joyful, living life in the flow of it and loving when you can. I have several articles regarding Kundalini and the awakening process. And both of my books take this subject to a deeper level. After reading my articles, you may feel drawn to purchase on or both. In order, How I found my true inner peace lays the foundation. Divine Embrace takes it even deeper. You can find purchase options for both on my Store page.

	Yoga Pose of the Month Reverse Plank/Upward Plank Pose Sanskrit: Purvottanasana Photo of Maggie Anderson taken by Maggie Anderson Reverse Plank Pose is wonderful opening for the heart, belly and shoulders. This pose can be modified by simply coming into Reverse Table pose. This pose is part of Rite #4 in the Five Tibetan Rites and is great for strengthening the arms, wrists and legs, as well as stretching the shoulders, chest, and front ankles. It's also therapeutically great in fighting against fatigue. yay! Directions on how to come into the pose: Begin in Dandasana (Staff) pose, legs extended in front of your and arms at your sides. Feet are about walking distance apart. Place hands 4-6 inches behind your hips, palms down, fingers pointing torwards your feet. Now, pointing your feet, press into your hands and heels of the feet, inhale and lift your hips up as high as they will go for you today, straightening your arms. Legs are extending straight out and diagonal to the floor. Allow your head to drop back without compressing the neck. If this is uncomfortable you can keep the head slightly lifted. Feeling this pose along the whole backside of the body. Press shoulder blades against your back torso to support the lift of your chest. Hold for 30 seconds and then, on an exhale, slowly lower back down coming back into Dandasana.

	Inspire You Article Open Up Recently, I had a discussion with a friend about our connections with other people. We pondered the why’s behind the disconnect we have with some folks and the extreme connectedness we can have with others. Though this is completely normal as we feel close to certain people at a soul level right off the bat. And other people we have to work at it a bit or are not meant to. However, I feel like one way we can connect more deeply to the core with the Divine is if we connect more deeply to the core with people (at least most people). Sometimes we have been open with others. And sometimes we had the chance but didn't take the opportunity. We all have those family members or friends that keep us at arm’s length. We all have those people in our lives. Sometimes maybe it's a generation gap and how they were brought up; something in how they were taught to act and be back then. Other times it's a fear thing. Perhaps many of us are now more authentic or at least some of us are trying to be. These people we may have a disconnect with seem to only share the surface stuff. Playing it safe all the time is no way to live. Safety and security has its place in life, but then we must honor our divine expression. There's more to life than surface chatter. So for those people who only share the surface stuff, I might choose to also only share the surface stuff with as well. Sometimes there is a feeling that they chose this disconnected way of being and will refuse to come out of it, so my soul chooses at times to honor their disconnected way of being. Could be that they're not ready. Or they are in a position in my life where sharing would not be wise. However, on the flip side, the other times I'm like, "F&%$ it". I want to be me. And if I'm sharing at a deeper level maybe that gives them permission or the courage to share at a deeper level themselves; giving them permission to be a little bit more authentic with themselves and with those people around them. It’s a feeling. I try to honor where people are always and then when the Divine pulls me, I will share, do or say more in regards my inner truth and what feels right to share. It’s perhaps at just the right time for that person or persons to hear what I have to say. I've planted the seed at least. Or if not them, perhaps someone who is listening nearby. I might get the tug to share something and the person I am talking with is still totally out of sync but someone heard nearby and perhaps later shares how they totally GET what I was saying and it helped them. You just never know. I just go with the pull from the deep Divine connection and honor that within me. Bottling up emotions isn't healthy either. It can cause actual physical manifestations of illness in your body. There are healthy open ways of releasing what's inside you. And opening up to a friend or relative when it feels right is one beautiful way of releasing emotions and being authentic. Allow yourself to embrace a more open way of being. Embrace that change, if only a little bit at a time. It's better than staying stagnant. Change can't occur if you are unmoving/stagnant. Stepping into the unknown causes beautiful new experiences. 'There is pain in staying the same. And there is pain in changing. Pick the one that moves you forward'. ~ Dear Viola You’ll notice that by being more authentic, being the real you, others will relate in a more authentic way with you and connect more deeply. It shouldn't feel like trying. You don't have to try to share authentically. It's harder to force yourself to hold back at times. Instead be authentic and if sharing and being more open finally calls to you, allow that to flow through you. The hidden truths are there. If you are holding back, there is a part of the other person near you that can sense it. Even if only a little bit or subconsciously and they may react to that. So even if you are keeping someone at arm’s length, even if with good reason, just be sure you are honorable and acting with truth and integrity either way. I know there are people that might feel they were given permission to share and even when given permission they still don't feel they can (be authentic). So hopefully, this article can help people realize, it's now or never. Say it now. Say what you mean to say as often as possible. But say it authentically. Please check out my article on being authentic because it is a link to this article that is totally relevant to the message I am meant to share here. I'm an introvert and sometimes socially awkward. But many of us are. Some are better at masking it. I tend to get "right" into my own skin when I'm teaching a class or workshop in my wheelhouse (yoga class, meditation class, Reiki & IET certifications, etc.). So over time and practice I've opened up more. I'm more me out in the open than I ever have been. I'm a work-in-progress. :) Radio show host, Delilah, described Introverts and Extraverts amazingly! She explains that introverts tend to gain more energy when they have their alone time. Whereas extraverts thrive and build their energy more around people. We all need our alone time and we all need our connection to life and the living. But as an introvert I really understand alone time. I mean I GET it. And feel energized with my alone time (whether it’s meditating, yoga or just being). But there is balance with connecting with others and being alone. For the extravert, they need more time with people but still require a little downtime. For the introvert they require more downtime and still need a little people time too. The yin and yang of introverts and extraverts are that we still need that connection to people. They are a part of us and us them. We are all truly one. “I honor the Light in you. And you honor the Light in me. Together, we are One. Namaste.” It's open up time. You gotta be authentic. You can't expect to have a relationship with someone and have the desire to connect more deeply with someone, but not be more authentic and more deep yourself with them. If you refuse to open up, you're not going to get that deeper connection you seek. It's just not gonna happen. You're gonna get what you give. Start giving and opening up. Share authentically with others. If someone actually starts that ‘giving’ and sharing for you, take that permission. That's the Universe giving you an opening. There are going to be people you just can't open up to. You try and it won't work. Or you shouldn't try because of the position they are in their life (co-workers, bosses you might not be allowed to have that connection with, etc.). But the flip side is, even in those situations with those people: life is too short. If you have the desire to open up. Open up. There is a reason for everything. It is perfectly Divine. Happy connecting. May you always know the peace that dwells within, ~ Maggie, Spiritual Cheerleader
	Dear Maggie Click here to submit *your* question for the Dear Maggie Column Dear Maggie, I am a 17 year old boy. For a few months now, I have felt completely lost. The only real way to explain it is that there is an empty void inside of me. I did not realize how lost I really am up until recently. My whole life, I knew I was different from the other kids. They were interested in things I was never interested in and I was always the weirdo. I just see things differently I guess. An abundant number of coincidences have been occurring since I started feeling lost. These are a few things that have been happening to me lately: I frequently see 11:11 when I look at a digital clock, I feel as if I have a purpose and I am capable of acquiring my dreams, but I don’t know how to, I will think of something briefly, then something related to it will happen, I have these extremely bizarre dreams every night, I am on a losing streak in the sport I compete in (wrestling) and I do not know why, and I don’t even know what I want in life anymore because everything has been so confusing lately. I am so lost and looking for some guidance. I have been meditating and I believe I have almost left my body while doing so, several times, although I cannot really control my inner body (I apologize if I am not making any sense, but it is the best I can explain over the computer) . I think I leave my body almost every night. The “dreams” I have been having have led me to a bizarre fascination with extraterrestrials. The dream that caused this spark of fascination happened like this: A being that appeared to be a diversely colored elephant was all of the sudden standing in front of me. It had the posture of a human and had translucent tusks with what looked like kaleidoscope plasma similar to a lava lamp taking up the volume inside the tusks. This being touched my shoulder, causing what I can describe as a feeling of universal love and a message came through saying “come with me”. At this point I began walking up a metallic slope to get to what looked like a space ship. Once I had entered the ship, an overwhelming light came over me and the next thing I knew, I was overlooking a horizon and the being touched my shoulder again. It told me to pursue my dreams. It said that I am going to be greatly successful and that I am different from others because I very special and have an important mission. It also told me to always love and keep watch for false truths and always keep the environment clean; protect it. Is this just a narcissistic wild dream that my imaginative subconscious has created? If so, am I selfish for having a dream like that? My gut tells me that it was a real experience and all the “coincidences” to follow are also real. They sometimes happen to me up to 7 or 8 times in a day. I feel as if someone is trying to contact me and tell me something, but there is something missing inside of me that is preventing me from receiving the message. How do I completely awaken myself? Thank you again very much for allowing me to express these selfish thoughts to you and I apologize for straying off topic. I appreciate your empathetic guidance. ~ C Dear C, Thanks for your email. You might like to know your feelings are very similar to the majority of your high school friends. They might not show it but they feel similar as well. Some of them might not even know on the surface but some day they may awaken to that insight. For you, you are ahead of the game, in that you are awakening. You’re realizing there’s more to life at a deeper level than what all of us are “doing”. There is doing and expressing and then there’s BEing. When I was in high school (which by the way feels like it was just yesterday to me), I felt exactly as you did. To boot, I wasn’t in any groups or sports either. Nothing was in sight that awakened a passion inside me. My parents are old school and to them if you were surviving, then that’s enough. So they didn’t know how to tell me to chase after something that excites ME. They didn’t help me look for MY passion. So I never went to college and floated through clerical jobs till around 2000 when I finally found my spark. I had a fascination with the paranormal and began a small website surrounded by those with similar interests online. Prior to this, I did receive tons of synchronicities from my deceased friend, Michael. That's story is found here in my September 2007 newsletter and on my Signs & Synchronicities page. Synchronicities are a very common first sign of awakening. When we begin to finally notice these numbers the Universe has been trying to send to us in order to help us reconnect, we begin the process of awakening. And 11:11 is a gateway number. You are opening up. Anyhoo, I began meditating. My first meditation proved to me I could see visions easily. We all have those extra senses that show up more easily to us than others. Like a medium will probably have their spiritual ears more open to hearing spirit, etc. After that I was attuned to Reiki (an energy healing modality). I became a teacher of several healing modalities. I processed life experiences at the same time, lost 90 pounds, realized I loved to design and becoming a graphic designer and I then fell in love yoga and became a yoga instructor. I sometimes wonder if I was exposed to the spiritual world sooner, would I have found that deeper connection sooner. Perhaps. But I know, for me, everything happened in Divine timing. Exactly as it should have. For me, having that spiritual connection was everything. It filled the void I didn’t know I had within me. So many other things came up through experiences that proved to me this spiritual world exists. It’s mysterious and magical and makes my world more alive. This awakening is different for so many of us. For you, perhaps you are not passionate about wrestling. Or perhaps you are symbolically wrestling with something inside you that makes going through each match more challenging. Do you know what your dreams are? What it is you’d like to offer. We all have two main things in life we are meant to do here. One is to remember we are spiritual beings having a human experience. The second is to express whatever is Divinely called to us. It’s that thing (or things) that call you to do whether you get paid for it or not. And as we flow through life, this can change often but the very core of it is the same. It’s your offering. What makes you happy and blissful and joy-filled it yours to DO and/or BE. For some it’s simply BEING in that peaceful state. Since we are all energy and our energy spreads through the world. So simply being peaceful will assist the planet in lifting its vibrations to match it. And sometimes our soul is calling us to DO something. You will know when and feel it deeply within you. Your bliss is your spiritual compass. I think it’s pretty fantastic and amazing that you are asking these introspective questions of yourself as such an early age. It can take some a lifetime and some never get there in their life. Do you meditate? If not, this is a powerful, yet very simple way to begin a gentle connection to your deeper/higher self and the Divine. I highly recommend it daily for at least 5 minutes. Doesn’t have to be long. There are free guided meditations on youtube or you can simply play soothing music and focus on breathing. I enjoy watching the sun rise in the morning for a few minutes of quiet peace. Astral projection is usually what it’s called when your soul leaves your body. It’s also called “Out of body Experience” (OOB or OOBE). This tends to happen to us every night as we sleep but we usually are not consciously aware of it. The act of astral projection will also create more awakening within us. Some people can do this while awake but most of the time it happens just as we are falling asleep or just as we are waking up. This can happen consciously when we can master lucid dreaming (conscious that we are dreaming). Once you are aware you are dreaming, then you can control where you soul goes either in the dream or out of your body. We will dream as a way to release things from our subconscious from the day-to-day events. But our heart knows when these dreams become more than messages from our subconscious but rather messages from our higher selves and/or Spirit Guides or Angels. Seems like one of your main guides right now is an “alien”. Many of us have had lives on other planets as well, so sometimes we consider these guides “aliens” but really they are our kindred spirits (friends on the Other Side). You made a plan to have this being be one of your guides and bring you messages when you needed to hear it the most. Now is a perfect time. As you awaken, you will receive other signs and symptoms. I list out several online under “Kundalini Symptoms” and you can read more in-depth in my books. I have so much info online that it’s totally up to you. Seems like you are in the beginning stages. Mostly, we look towards enlightenment and leading a true and honest life. Remember the saying: “Before enlightenment, we chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, we chop wood and carry water.” This is a reminder that we still live the same life as we choose to create it, but we live it more alive than ever. Life is as you create it from inside. We each have the power to create the life we desire. It’s magic and yet we ALL have that ability. We ALL do it. We just don’t all know we do it. So why not do it consciously. I think I’m beginning to ramble a bit. Hope I’m making sense! The messages you received in your dream resonate as truth to me. Each thing you hear, you will know deep inside that it is true or not to you. Your Soul ALWAYS knows the truth. Sounds like you are being guided by an amazing being as well. :) Also, the description you give of it is familiar to me for some reason. I’m going to ponder this and see if something comes up or reminds me where I’ve heard of this being before? I know for me, I saw a blue alien being once with longer arms and legs than a human and very flow-like/fluid movements. We have Angels, aliens and humans as guides and sometimes it’s just energy guiding us. Life is a mystery. :) To completely awaken is to become enlightened. This is a lifetime process or several lifetimes. Rarely, some will come into this life already fully enlightened (like Jesus, Buddha, etc.). It will just be there. Other times it happens during our lifetime. Many feel this is the era for all of us to awaken, enlighten and ascend permanently to the higher dimensions. Anything is possible. Meditation is the fastest, safest way. However, you can have too much meditation. The trick to enlightenment is balance and finding that inner peace amongst the chaos of this world. I’m still trying to figure it all out myself. Some days I feel I’m there and then other days make me feel very far away. It’s humbling and it’s all perfectly as it should be. To trigger your Kundalini there are breathwork exercises, meditations, yoga (even massages, traumatic events and intense study will trigger it). My site is back up! Here are some articles on Kundalini that might intrigue you: Kundalini Pathway Things That May Awaken Kundalini Kundalini: It's not what you think, or is it? Our Shadow Self & Dark Night of the Soul Kundalini Symptoms Success through Kundalini Symptoms Entity Attachments Q&A: Entities in my Aura Q&A: Blue Light - Blue Pearl of Consciousness I’ve met a few folks who meditate for hours a day and bring on a strong Kundalini awakening that also brings on more severe symptoms in their body. Was it that they meditated too much? Perhaps. Or maybe they were meant to take it on at a “faster” rate for whatever reason. However, you don’t want to push too hard. Kundalini and awakening are all about SURRENDER. Releasing. Letting go. Allowing what IS and doing your best to align to the highest Divine guidance and connection that is within you. The timing of awakening to enlightenment depends on how you look at it. And then you decide how fast you go. I choose balanced awakening. I don’t want to take on TOO much TOO fast or I won’t be able to process in the proper way. Some people (rare but happens) go crazy if they awaken too fast. So ponder the balance within you and decide what feels best. Listen to your internal guidance. It’s always there, always guiding. Gentle and steady. :) I hope this has helped!! Please do keep in touch and let me know if I can help further. I wish you a balanced awakening. Blessings, Maggie www.SpiritualCompassConnection.com

This time of year is the perfect time to go over your gratitude list. And what an amazing way to do it by sharing what you like about someone else. Perhaps your family is doing a Secret Santa and the person you get may or may not be your favorite pick. However, there is also light to find within. What if you included a nice note or list of things that you like about that person with their gift. Even better, make it a part of their gift, like placing your words in a frame or on a video or even more creative than that. Doing this shifts the energy between the two of you. If there was any sign of unforgiveness this can lead to forgiveness for both of you. Even if they never know who gave them the gift. It's very healing and just feels so good. So why not? :)    Don't forget to set your authentic 2015 intentions! Make this all about YOUR truth and not someone else's wishes. What is it YOU want!? Anything you desire!

It can be modified for less strain or if your working towards a strong core or already have one you can power up this pose. There are many variations to help you progress through this pose. So it's all about getting out of your ego. It's not about what someone else is doing. It's about where you are in your body and listening to that.   If you can't get into this pose with a long straight spine then you've gone too far into it too fast. Work your way up with balance. Let go and allow your body to generate strength over time. To hold this pose, tapping into our breath is key. Since breath is our prana life force energy at work, it truly energizes you to hold this longer, focus on alignment and come into and out of this pose (and all poses) with grace. Our core is our foundation to all movement, so it's helpful to keep it healthy and strong. Working with Boat pose allows us to do just that.   read how to practice this pose... Inspire You Article 20:20 15 Stress-Releasing Tips for Clarity & Peace  If we could see the future and know, would we do things the same way? If we could know all the little pathways we would take that would lead us to where we are now, would we change it? Or is it better that we don't know, so we can make the mistakes and veer "off the path" and get back "on track" and gain better clarity once we do that? We don't always have to know. There is freedom in being okay with not knowing. This type of surrender is powerful. We can't always know what's going to happen, who we're meant to be with, what car we should drive, what town we should live in, what college to go to, what job we will truly end up with for a decade or more or less, etc. We can have an inkling or an idea of where we want to go. But we won't always know the bumps in the road till we hit them. The challenges that come up are meant to surprise us, so we either get back on track or learn a deep soul lesson and keep moving in the direction we desire. Sounds vague and yet, not so much. We can't always see the forest for the trees. But when we get those true glimpses, it's a miracle to take advantage of and to be grateful for knowing part of the path was meant to be; no matter the ups and downs, emotional breakdowns, and tremendous high's. Staying safe for a while is a nice break, but try not to stay in that state for too long because you are too afraid to take risks, not knowing what the future holds.  read full article, including 15 Tips...  Dear Maggie Column Click here to submit *your* question for the Dear Maggie Column In this months question, read Maggie's response to a readers question regarding how Long Distance Energy Healing works.
