What are ascension symptoms?

    "There's always another level up.  There's always another ascension. More grace, more light, more generosity, more compassion, more to shed, more to grow."  ~ Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

      Last week I woke up after my usual eight hours of sleep, yet I still felt very tired.  After dragging myself through most of the morning, I gave up and crawled back into bed. As I lay there, I observed my mental, emotional and physical state. I felt vulnerable, emotional, dizzy and queasy. My stomach and head felt achy. I noticed vibrations moving around my body with an occasional tremor, and pressure sensations in my forehead and sides of my head as if my skull were expanding. And then I knew. I was experiencing another "upgrade" - also known as ascension symptoms.



What are Ascension Symptoms?

     Ascension symptoms are the symptoms that people experience as their body-mind-spirit ascends to a higher vibrational frequency. As we ascend we experience these periodic energetic upgrades as we spiritually awaken. Our energies are being synced to a divine frequency. During these episodes, denser energy that does not serve our highest good disintegrates. This can include relationships, careers, lifestyle habits, limiting thought and belief patterns. 

Ascension symptoms can include:
  • Increased sensitivity that affects eating, sleeping, and socializing patterns
  • Intense emotional states from feeling profound love for all living beings to anger to weepiness
  • Digestive issues, unexplained nausea
  • Flu-like symptoms
  • Unexplained body aches
  • Pressure sensations, tingling or pulsations in the head
  • Fatigue, restlessness
  • Feeling scattered and confused
  • Hot flashes, chills
  • Dizziness
  • Episodes of anxiety, racing thoughts, manic energy
  • Feeling vibrations, pulsing and tingling throughout the body, skin, or in specific areas
  • Episodes of frustration, agitation and impatience
  • Need for more solitude and quiet, especially outdoors
  • Signs of enhanced intuition -- "knowing" things before they happen (claircognizance), seeing (clairvoyance) and hearing (clairaudience) beyond normal perception
  • Seeing number sequences like 111, 222, 333, 444, etc repeatedly. 
  • Hearing high-pitched frequencies in the ears - brief ringing or squealing sounds
  • Feeling no longer in-sync with some family and friends, who may drop out of your life, or you drop out of theirs. 
     Cosmic events such as solar flairs, geomagnetic storms, planetary retrogrades, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, new moons and full moons all facilitate ascension. Ascension can come in the form of a healing crisis that looks like acute illness, but is actually a "house cleaning" to clear our what needs to go to experience life at a higher vibration. This can be experienced as flu-like symptoms, followed by greater clarity and enhanced energy level.



What to do if you are experiencing ascending symptoms

     First of all -- congratulations!  You are among many souls who have chosen to awaken to their higher purpose. Although ascension can at times be difficult, the more you can embrace it, the quicker you will integrate the higher energies. Remember that the symptoms are temporary, and with each ascension episode you will experience greater health, joy, clarity and happiness on your journey to fulfill your life purpose!

     Here are some suggestions to help you:
  • Nurture yourself with loving self-talk
  • Drink extra water
  • Take baths with Epsom salts added for clearing
  • Spend time in high-frequency activities like meditating, being outdoors, listening to meditation music, journaling
  • Use high frequency products like flower essences and essential oils

How to Discover Your Life Purpose

     "When astrology is approached from a level of true open-minded understanding, it leads directly to unconditional love."  ~ Jan Spiller, Astrology for the Soul

     Would you like to learn more about your life purpose? Your life purpose is ruled by the astrological sign position of the North Node at the time of your birth, and the astrological sign that rules the house that the North Node was in at the time of your birth.

     I am not an astrologer in the traditional sense, as I do not do readings for individuals. But I incorporate astrology into everything I do as an energy healing entrepreneur. I follow the mathematically-based system of astrology built on thousands of years of observation because of the energetic effects the movements of the planets have on us and our lives. Many astrologers believe that your North Node is the single most important point in your chart because it can connect you to your destiny.

     The North Node is like the North Star of your life - guiding the unfolding of your soul during your lifetime.  If you know the two signs that rule your North Node, you know what to focus on to experience happiness and fulfillment of your life mission.



Discovering Your North Node

     I will give you a link and instructions to identify the basic information you need to understand your purpose. But for a more thorough exploration of your north node, I recommend the book Astrology for the Soul by Jan Spiller. At the front of the book, locate the sign of your North Node by finding your birth date within the time frames on the chart. Then read the section on that sign in the book.  It will help you identify:
  •  a career path
  •  attributes to develop
  •  tendencies to leave behind
  •  past life aspects
  •  conflicts and needs
  •  relationship issues
  •  goals
   The book cannot tell you what house your north node is in.  But you can identify BOTH the sign of your north node and the house it is in HERE. Enter the month, date, year, time and location of your birth. If you do not know the time of your birth, you can only identify the sign of your north node, not the house it was in, since the north node travels through all 12 houses each day.

  In the results, you will see a circular chart, divided into 12 sections like pieces of a pie. These are the "houses." The houses are numbered 1-12.  You will see the numbers near the center of the circle.

     Now look for this symbol:



 Which house does the north node symbol appear in? In this screenshot, the symbol is in the 9th house:



     Now look at this list to identify which sign rules that house:
  • 1st house:   Aries (independent innovator)
  • 2nd house:  Taurus (master builder)
  • 3rd house:   Gemini (connecting communicator)
  • 4th house:   Cancer (instinctive nurturer)
  • 5th house:   Leo (creative leader)
  • 6th house:   Virgo (compassionate healer)
  • 7th house:   Libra (empowering collaborator)
  • 8th house:   Scorpio (passionate transformer)
  • 9th house:   Sagittarius (intuitive teacher)
  • 10th house: Capricorn (empathic manager)
  • 11th house: Aquarius (unconventional networker)
  • 12th house: Pisces (spiritual seeker)
    If you don't have Jan Spiller's book, you can identify which sign the north node was in with that same link.  In the results, look at the list of planets to the left of the circular chart.  Look for the words "True Node."  To the right of those words will be the sign, abbreviated to 3 letters. (Ari is Aries, Tau is Taurus, Gem is Gemini, etc)



    Now you know the two signs that rule your life purpose -- the sign that was in the North Node position when you were born, and the sign that rules the house that the North Node was in. Studying the sections in the book for these two signs will give you the full picture of your life purpose.

     If you don't have the book, I have included a two-word description next to each sign as it relates to purpose. For example, I was born when the north node was in Libra, in my 9th house ruled by Sagittarius. Putting together the two-word descriptions, this means that my life purpose is to be an intuitive teacher who empowers, uplifts and collaborates with others.



Surprising Results

     You may be surprised by what is revealed about your purpose, because the two-word description I use may not seem to describe you! This is because your purpose is not necessarily what comes easily to you. It may be something you actually struggle with. But if you choose to live your life in the direction of your purpose, the growth that occurs by doing so will reveal your hidden gifts and talents.

     For example, if your North Node is in Capricorn, your tendency is likely to look to others to tell you what to do.  But if you choose to take charge, you will find you actually have a gift for understanding and managing yourself, others, organizations, etc.  If your North Node is in the 3rd house ruled by Gemini, you may struggle with communicating and connecting to others. However, your efforts in those areas will reveal you are actually gifted at both!

Living Your Purpose

     The reason why it is important to know the two signs that rule your life purpose is this: When you aren't living your life in alignment with your purpose, it can be like swimming upstream - exhausting and ineffective. Success in life comes through working in cooperation with your soul's desires, not against! I share this from personal experience. My purpose is to collaborate with others, but I have an independent streak that makes this very difficult.  I have learned the hard way that continuing my independent ways is ultimately unsatisfying and unsuccessful.  Take it from me: make the 2-word description of your nodal sign and nodal ruling house sign your mantra, and life can become more ease-full!


Your Lightworker Purpose

     Lightworkers are individuals who are sensitive to energy and feel a calling to heal people, animals, or social and environmental issues. While most lightworkers are aware that they want to make a difference in the world, they can be uncertain as to what exactly they are here to do. If you are a lightworker (click HERE to read more about lightworker signs) it can be helpful to look at your nodal sign rulers to help guide you in your lightworker purpose.

     Here are 5 examples of lightworkers I know living their purpose, but keep in mind that your purpose is unique to you.  And you may have to break a few rules along the way to follow YOUR path, not someone else's.
  • A lightworker colleague with Cancer-Aquarian nodal rulers (instinctive nurturer-unconventional networker) has created an online network that supports lightworkers and shares their unconventional knowledge with the world. 
  • A lightworker client of mine with Taurus-Pisces nodal rulers (master builder-spiritual seeker) has built a successful spiritually-based coaching business.
  • Another of my lightworker clients with Capricorn-Libra nodal rulers (empathic manager-empowering collaborator) co-manages and empowers a group of creatives.
  • I know a lightworker with Sagittarius-Scorpio nodal rulers (spiritual teacher-passionate transformer) who teaches a course to those who seek to reconnect with their passion and transform their career after a job loss. 
  • I also know a lightworker with Virgo-Taurus nodal rulers (compassionate healer-master builder) who has built a sanctuary for the healing of abused animals. 
    The purpose of a lightworker often involves holding space for others -- sometimes holding space for large numbers of people, or large organizations. The ability to do this may require significant personal growth and evolution that involves a shift from living in fear and living small, to living from the heart and living big. Because of the inner work involved in this shift to living your unique and authentic life, finding your unique path, and healing from difficult life situations, some lightworkers do not achieve success in their purpose until later in life. Or that success may unfold as steps. Lightworkers can become frustrated with the process. If you are feeling frustrated, I have embedded links to numerous helpful articles in this paragraph! On the other hand, some lightworkers are born ready to actualize their purpose and start doing so from a very young age.  

     I hope you enjoyed discovering more about your life purpose! Looking at your personal numerology can also shed light on your purpose. Learn more HERE.

What Happens When You Live Without Expectations

    "I let go of all expectations. People, places and things are free to be themselves, and I am free to be me."           ~ Louise Hay, The Power is Within You

   A few years ago I went on an anniversary trip with my husband. As much as I enjoyed it, on the day of our departure I felt ready to go home. I missed my cats, my dogs and my son.

     We arrived at the airport with our packed bags, only to find out that our flight had been cancelled without notification. And our airline had no reciprocal agreement with other airlines, so we couldn't transfer our flight to another carrier. There was no way of getting around it... we simply were not going home that day.

     As we left the airport, I felt utterly frustrated. It took a while to realize the gift I had been given -- a completely unplanned day free of any expectations. A blank slate. We drove with no destination and no agenda.

     I don't shake off frustration as easily as my husband. I was still in a bit of a funk when he felt inexplicably drawn to take a particular exit off the interstate. And as we drove into the town, he noticed an entrance to a shrine. "Would you like to check it out?" he asked. "Sure," I said. Why not. I had nothing better to do.

     It turned out the shrine was a national pilgrimage site steeped in over 400 years of history. As I walked the waterfront grounds under live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, I had a deeply moving experience. It was certainly the most profound day of the trip... of the year! The visions I received while meditating there are still unfolding to this day. And it never would have happened if the flight hadn't been cancelled.

Living Without Expectations

     While my unexpected day happened spontaneously, what would happen if you consciously chose to let go of expectations?  What if you surrendered the outcome of your day and allowed it to unfold in the moment? You would experience:
  • Less stress and disappointment
  • More peace
  • Enhanced well-being  
  • Unexpected insights and blessings!
   Spend a day, or an afternoon free of expectations and see how it unfolds. Pay attention to what you feel drawn to do, where you feel drawn to go, and who crosses your path. It could change your life!

How to Heal From Gaslighting: An Energy Healing Perspective

      "Gaslighting can occur only when a gaslightee tries -- consciously or not -- to accommodate the gaslighter, or to get him to see things her way, because she so desperately wants his approval so she can feel whole." ~ Dr. Robin Stern, The Gaslight Effect: How to Spot and Survive the Hidden Manipulation Others Use to Control Your Life.

     A particularly damaging form of abuse that I have become familiar with through clients in my energy healing practice is called "gaslighting." Let's take a look at this type of abuse through an energy healing perspective.

What is Gaslighting?

   Wikipedia defines gaslighting as "a form of mental abuse in which information is twisted or spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and sanity." The term originates from the 1944 film Gaslight in which the husband manipulated the environment to convince his wife that she was insane.

     Gaslighting abuse can happen in any personal relationship, work setting, religious or governmental organization that over-rides the truth of who you are and convinces you that your perception of reality is false. Gaslighting abuse can range from overt to subtle. Abusers are narcissists who may or may not be conscious of what they are doing. But the outcome is the same: The abused's trust in their own instincts and intuition is damaged. And without their instincts and intuition to guide them through life, a person who has been abused through gaslighting can become isolated, depressed and lost.



 Healing From Gaslighting Abuse

     Healing from gaslighting abuse begins with awareness, focus, breathing, discernment, and letting go. Abused individuals tend to look to others to confirm their perceptions. They have been conditioned and brainwashed to ask others to make decisions for them. Deep healing happens when they look within for their answers from their higher self.
  1. Awareness.  This begins with becoming aware of how you are being gaslit, and how you may have internalized the abuse. Doing so initiates the process of healing. Any self talk that creates doubt, confusion, and undermines your self-perceptions with labels like "silly" "stupid" or "crazy" is internalized gaslighting. Replace these with "I believe in you" and think in terms of how you can best support and help yourself. 
  2. Focus. Imagine a classroom full of unruly kids who are yelling out answers to questions, hurling insults at each other, throwing paper airplanes and spit balls. But in the back of the room is a quiet child who knows the answer. Your job is to tune out the inner loud voices that are shouting "You aren't enough" or "You don't know what you're talking about" or "You can't do it" and zero in on that small voice within you that speaks wisdom. Know this: What you focus on will grow. The more you withdraw your focus from your lower self voices, the more they will fade. The more you focus on the wise, higher-self voice within, the more it will grow -- giving you direction and support in your life. 
  3. Breathing: Gaslighting creates a state of confusion and disorientation because it energetically disrupts your orientation to self.  It un-grounds and un-centers -- making you off balance. If you are flooded with negative thoughts and emotions and feel confused, know that you do not have to figure it out. You don't have to make sense of your abuser's behavior or reaction, or make sense of your inner abusive voice. Analyzing just pulls you out of your physical body and into your mental body, which creates an un-grounded state. Bring yourself back in your body by deep breathing for at least 10 minutes, bending your knees, feeling the floor or the ground beneath you and getting to safety. 
  4. Safety: If you are being gaslit, get to a safe environment. This may be just going to another room, a place where you can be alone and begin to tune in to the wisdom of your own soul. The best place to do this is outside where you can become more grounded and clear, and recover your energy and shift to your higher self. You do not have to be around people who are narcissistic and abusive. You deserve to have loving, supportive people in your life. See #6 for how respond.
  5. Discernment: If you get confused as to what to listen to, here's a simple litmus test: Any inner voice, or any outer voice that makes you feel bad, creates doubt, instills fear, etc is coming from the lower self. Any inner or outer voice that makes you feel supported, and is loving, wise and empowering is a higher-self voice. 
  6. Letting Go: Let go of your need for others to approve of you and to see the truth of who you are. When you need someone to approve of you - you hand them your power. Deep down, you know who you are and it is very confusing for a gaslighter to contradict that truth. Narcissists are simply not capable, or not willing to reflect back another's worth in relationship. For an empath, that is likely to never make sense! Disengage from defensiveness. Agree to disagree with your gaslighter's opinion by repeating statements such as, "I see things differently." This will keep you in your higher self even while your gaslighter is in their lower self.
Issues for Empaths

     Empathic persons are the most susceptible to gaslighting. To find out if you are an empath, read this. Empaths often have a lightworker life purpose of helping others and making a difference. They are greatly needed in the world.  But damage from abuse can block them from actualizing their purpose. It is in healing from abuse that many empaths discover their gifts and live their purpose.

How to Dialogue With Your Body

       "Pain is the body's voice. Listen to your body."  ~ Pete Egoscue, Pain Free for Women

      I have had chronic pain on the inside of my right upper leg for almost eight years. This is a result of tearing a groin muscle twice, coupled with many smaller injuries. Once an area has been injured, it becomes prone to re-injury. The is true of any kind of injury -- mental, emotional, spiritual or physical. The muscles and tendons in my leg have become rigid and reactive. It is as if my muscles are expecting to get injured, and are bracing for it. And then injury does happen -- again, and again. When an emotional or spiritual injury has occurred, it will tend to become a repeating pattern as well.

     My leg is in "victim mentality," or wounded mentality - which are the same thing. People in victim mentality give off a "victim vibe" or a "wounded vibe" that unconsciously attracts more wounding. As does my leg. You can read more about that here. 

     How can muscle cells have wounded mentality? Because our intelligence is not confined to our brains. There is intelligence in every cell of your body.

     My physical therapist and massage therapist tell me to stretch, but when I do my body tissues become defensive and go into spasm. This is exactly what happens to people who have been traumatized. They become reactive when triggered. The solution? Dialogue with your injured parts.


Dialoguing With Your Body

     Dialoguing is a way to communicate with yourself for healing. To begin:
  • Find a place free of distractions.  
  • Get in a comfortable position. 
  • Close your eyes and take slow and deep breaths throughout the conversation. 
  • Connect with your compassion for your wounded parts.
  • Ask questions with the utmost of respect completely free of any judgment.
    My favorite places to do this are outside, or in the bath tub where my body can relax in the warm water. If I'm outside I burn some incense. If I'm in the bath, I add some epsom salts and lavender oil to the water.  The conversation can take place in your mind or out loud.

    If you had the ability to talk to a wounded part, how do you imagine that wounded part would answer the question: "How are you?"  Fill in the blank with the answer: "I am _____."  If you aren't sure of the answer, ask more questions: "Are you tense? Sad? Scared? Guarded? Hurting? Tired?"  Then imagine how this wounded part would answer the question: "Is there more?"

    Continue asking questions and stay in a place of total patience, as you would with a child or a best friend who needed assistance. If it's a body part, you can hold that part with your hands in a supportive way. Now ask "What do you need to heal?" And imagine how this injured part would answer.

    My injured leg wants to be heard and understood. The more I dialogue with it, the most it begins to trust and drop the guard, which means less spasm and less re-injury. It means the physical therapy is more effective. And it means that it is finally healing.

What Does a Coincidence Really Mean?

     "I do not believe in meaningless coincidences. I believe every coincidence is a message, a clue about a particular facet of our lives that requires our attention." ~ Deepak Chopra, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence 

     I recently watched the movie The Danish Girl.  The film is based on the true story of Danish painter Einar Wegener. Below is one of Wegener's landscapes.


     In the film, Wegener's wife asks him why he always paints the same thing - a row of trees. What we now know is that Wegener was hiding a secret - even from himself.  Although born biologically a male, Wegener felt like a female inside. The rigid row of trees in his paintings were a reflection of how he had to keep himself in line -- blocking his feelings to prevent his authentic self from emerging. Because it didn't feel safe for him to be his authentic female self.

     Although its no secret, I have also been "hiding" something in my body. I've been carrying the pain of being an abused child. Decades of holding myself in line have taken a toll on my body. My muscles and tendons are full of scar tissue and adhesions from unconsciously and habitually restricting my physical movements. Our bodies were meant to move 3-dimensionally. But when we have been traumatized, we can restrict our movement, voice, thinking and beliefs to  "the straight and narrow" to protect ourselves and keep us safe. This shuts down our energy and prevents our authentic self from emerging. Because it doesn't feel safe to be authentic.

     I've been getting physical therapy to break down the adhesions and scar tissue in my body. As the physical restrictions are released, the trauma of the past is released with it. The day after I saw The Danish Girl, I had one of these PT sessions. As I got off the table at the end of the session, I noticed this print on the wall:


     I was immediately struck by the similarities to Wegener's landscapes. It may seem that seeing two landscapes with a similar pattern within 24 hours is a "coincidence." But what does a coincidence really mean?
  •  It means to pay attention.  
  •  It means this is significant.  
  •  It means a connection has just been made
  •  It means an opportunity to become more conscious has presented itself.
  •  It means you've just been provided with a clue to more information about your circumstances.
    If we are afraid to look at what has been hidden, we will dismiss these occurrences. When we have the courage and willingness to look at these patterns, we grow.

The Choice

     When I noticed the pattern of similarity, I could have dismissed it. But I made a choice to meditate and write about the experience in my journal. It helped me to become more conscious of what had been hidden, and to pay more attention to how I move my body.

     When a coincidence happens, you too have a choice. You can dismiss, or find the courage and willingness to look at what you may be hiding. We restrict ourselves in thought, belief, voice and movement to protect ourselves. But that protection restricts our energy flow and can become a prison. It blocks joy, freedom and the fulfillment of your heart's desires. If you have the courage and willingness to expand beyond self-imposed limitations:
  • Take note of any coincidences, synchronicity, serendipity or repeating patterns in your dreams and life in an observing state of mind, free of judgment.
  • Write them down in your journal
  • Meditate on these patterns, asking what is yours to learn from them and see what insights emerge.
  • If you don't understand the message, ask for another sign that will clarify.

What Does Wellness Really Mean?

     "Wellness seeks more than the absence of illness; it searches for new levels of excellence. Beyond any disease-free neutral point, wellness dedicates its efforts to our total well-being - in body, mind and spirit."                      ~ Greg Anderson, The 22 Non-Negotiable Laws of Wellness

     Wellness is defined as a state of being in good health. But what exactly does it mean to be well and to be healthy? What I have discovered about wellness and health in my 35 years of experience in Western medicine and energy medicine may surprise you.

Health is Dynamic

     I rarely use the word "wellness."  But sometimes I have to use certain words or the public won't recognize what I'm talking about! And here's the reason why I don't use it: Because people think wellness is the opposite of illness.They think wellness is a state of "non-illness." But health is not stagnant. Health is a naturally dynamic state that includes both wellness and illness! Read more about that here.

     The natural variability of your mood, health and bodily rhythms is healthy. For example, research shows that the greater the variability of the heart rate, the healthier the heart and the more stable and healthy the body. And what governs those bodily rhythms is the state of your energy.

Health is Energetic

     Everything is energy, including your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and bodily rhythms. And the state of your energy determines everything about you - your health, your happiness... even the shape of your body and the sound of your voice. The state of your energy is determined by two factors -- frequency and flow.

       Wellness isn't just eating healthy, raw foods, using "wellness" products, and thinking positive thoughts. It's so much more than that. All these will raise your vibrational frequency, and I recommend them. But you have to look at what's causing your frequencies to be low in the first place, as well as what is obstructing your flow. Any kind of block in your life is energetic -- whether that is writer's block, an athletic performance slump, poor libido, lack of passion for life, or just plain feeling stuck. 

     Western medicine treats disease symptoms, and that can be important, especially if your symptoms are life-threatening. But to restore energetic flow and raise frequency, you need energy medicine.

Health is Inclusive

        Health at its highest expression is physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being that includes fulfillment in your relationships, your career and your life. It includes fulfillment of your unique life purpose.
