Every female has a male aspect and every male has a female aspect. We often refer to this as our feminine or masculine side.

Sometimes they get out of balance.

I grew up on a fruit farm and while I played with dolls and wore dresses I was also expected to work on the farm with everyone else. I had a nice balance of male/female.

Over time my male aspect took over as more and more responsibility was expected of me in the family business.

My female aspect waged war acting out in a sensual and provocative way.

My being went back and forth between strong male and sensual female right up until my early thirties when I settled into a form with a stronger male aspect then female.

That was the status quo until I started my journey of growth and discovery, bringing my female and male aspects into harmony within myself.

Why am I telling you this information?

The upcoming new moon/solar eclipse is more important and bigger then initially realized. In my earlier blog post I spoke about some of the effects and I have also Face Booked updates.

In addition this eclipse is going to assist us in unifying the male and female energies inside of ourselves so that we can align with the Divine–Mother Father God in a more harmonious way.

The energy of this celestial event will help heal any misalignments and expressions of the male and female energies inside of your Self. It will heal or begin the healing process of domination, control, karma and issues of abuse in any arena.

This alignment of our male and female aspect will effect areas of sexuality, power, self expression, our roles, self worth, self image, body image and societal influence.

Perhaps you are a woman with dominate male aspects or lacking them all together.

Or maybe you are a male needing some feminine qualities for balance and vulnerability.

There are various forms this misalignment plays out. Even those who choose relationships with the same sex can benefit from a little more of this and a little less of that in those loving partnerships.

In my holistic therapy practice I offer a Male/Female Balancing Process to assist you in this alignment and healing. It is the very same process I used many years ago to soften my male side and allow my feminine side to emerge once again. It can help you too. Contact me directly to learn more about it.

In the meantime, consider this information and relax into The Shift.

~Love, Esther

The theme of May is clearing out old stale energy and we are receiving maximum assistance from God/Universe to move into higher realms of consciousness.

It started with the Super Full Moon which created a big shift in all of us.  Hot on its heels was the Monster Solar Flare which hit earth in a cleansing and clearing way.

May 15th Venus turns retrograde.

But what I really want to address with you is the May 20-21, 2012 eclipse.

An eclipse stirs up, clears out and shifts energy. This eclipse in the sign of Gemini will help us get into the deep, dark corners of our being where we have stored away our baggage. The eclipse is telling us it is time to dig it up and release.

Gemini rules the subconscious, dreams and creative ideas. This eclipse will help bring news, ideas, opportunities and creativity.

It will also bring to the surface limitations in the form of thoughts, beliefs, patterns, habits and memories for release. It is a good time for some therapy or energy work. A perfect opportunity to rid yourself of that old bad habit, sabotaging belief or relationship you have been hanging onto to your detriment.

Remember every second of the day Universe gives us a chance to make a fresh start and this eclipse will give you an extra boost. While you always have free will, Universe is going to nudge you during this eclipse to look at your stuff and let it go. That is how much God/Universe loves you.

The eclipse will take place May 20-21 and will be visible in parts of Eastern Asia, the Pacific and Western USA. Mt. Shasta is one of the best places in North America to view the celestial event. In Canada you may catch it in Vancouver.(Just a reminder never look directly into the sun). This is an annular eclipse which means there will be a bright ring visible around the moon’s silhouette. Different from a total eclipse which turns night into day.

Still with me?

Great let’s get to more of the  juice.

Eclipses do just that, eclipse away out of date parts of your life.  You may find during this time that a relationship suddenly ends. Someone leaves. A job completes. A pattern breaks. If you have been dragging your heels on making a move that you know you need to make, the eclipse energy may just do it for you.

As they say in Big Brother, expect the unexpected; changes and course corrections. During the last eclipse December 10, 2011 I had a huge course correction in my life. While it was painful at the time and threw me for a loop, I now see how necessary it was for the creation of my dreams. Thank you Universe for loving me that much.

The effects of this eclipse will start about four days prior to the event and continue on for about four days after.

I can sense that some of you are going into fear and that is because you haven’t done your inner work. May I gently and loving suggest that now is the time. You came to  planet earth in this life time specifically to go through these events of 2012 to rid yourself of limitations and negativity from all of your lives– past, present and future.

As you awaken to higher consciousness there is nothing to fear. As you awaken you remember who you are and your importance in the Universe. You have faith and trust in yourself and in God. You respond to situations with interest and curiosity rather then in a reactive state.

So welcome in the light of this eclipse!

During this eclipse the sun will be hidden by the moon and I believe we will be experiencing a reboot of our bodies, beings and cellular system. We will be upgraded to a new operation system.

Sound crazy? Remember our body is a machine. Our brain is just like a computer. Your Spirit is the true you.

Just as a computer needs to be cleared of viruses,  we need to clear our limiting beliefs, our human virus.

As our computers require reboots and upgrades for efficiency and keeping up with the leading edge, our bodies too need to be upgraded to higher vibrations and awareness.

We are releasing all that we are not and stepping into our I AM PRESENCE. That is what makes this Shift so exciting.

I know this is allot of information to digest. You may need to read through it a couple of times. You attracted this information into your life not by accident but because you were meant to read it, even if you don’t quite understand it or agree with it. Your Spirit drew you here. There is so much more that I could share with you about this eclipse but I am being nudged to leave it at this for now. Please follow me on Facebook and/or on Twitter for the latest updates.

I am excited to hear how you are experiencing this eclipse shift, please leave a comment below. And of course contact me directly if you need my assistance in helping you to release.

Oh and by the way–stay tuned. Once we get through this weekend. The next round of shifting is early June.

Be Who You Truly Be

I am often asked the question, “Why are there so many children born at this time presenting with autism?” or the variation, “Esther what is your perspective on children with autism?”

I have held these questions in my heart for a long time while asking The Universe and The Tribunal-my council of 12,  to guide me to a knowing and Universal  understanding on this subject.

Here is what I have learned and discovered.

There are two main reasons as to why there are so many autistic children being born at this time.

1. When you as spirit come to planet earth to live in a physical body as an extension of Source, you have come to experience, grow, learn and align yourself with who you truly are and live out your magnificence upon the planet.

For the most part, children are born to parents who do everything in their power to make life safe and comfortable for them; helping them to fit in and belong. This act of love stifles the spirit of the child from being who it truly is; being who it be. Conformity does not allow for self expression. You the reader understand this for most likely you have felt and experienced this very thing for yourself.

As a result,  spirits coming back into another life experience,  are choosing to be born into a body with the circumstance of autism so that they can be that amazing magnificent being without having to fit in. One with autism does not for the most part have to conform with or fit in with everyone else. They have placed themselves by choice, into a situation that will allow them to be who they be; their own unique self.

2. The second aspect of  this situation is that many spirits being born upon the planet at this time are entering into the earth plain at extremely high vibrations. They remember who they; extensions of Source, God The Universe. They are not forgetting who they are as quickly as children of the past have done. These children are wanting to hold onto their high energy frequencies to help in the raising of consciousness, to assist in the healing of the earth, nature, animal and mineral kingdoms. To help all of humanity and each beast that roams the planet. The high energy vibrations present in the form of autism.

Have you noticed how many children, autistic or not, teach us to be kind to one another, animals, the earth and take up causes and concerns for those who cannot speak for themselves?

By coming to this life time as austic children these beautiful Souls are able to fulfill their role, their life purpose, to bring healing and consciousness to the planet. They have come to help their parents wake up to the understanding of vibration and of who they are as unique beings. For many parents have forgotten how truly special and unique they are. These children are here to show everyone that they need not conform, fight to fit in or be normal like everyone else.

Why? Because you aren’t like everyone else. You are uniquely you.

These children in their own way are spreading the message: Be Who You Be.

Our autistic children are a treasure and I am grateful to each spirit who has made the decision to come to the planet in a physical body with autism. For they are doing it for my benefit, your benefit, all of our benefits.  Thank you young ones.

~Love, Esther

May 2012 is shaping up to be a wild ride of energy shifts all working on your behalf to help you clear out old stale patterns and limitations while giving you the opportunity to once again reassess what it is that you really want.

I suspect that come June many of you reading these words will be in a very different place emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually and in your reality then where you are right now. The download of messages I am receiving are confirming my suspicions. Good news for those of you waiting for some relief.

Many of you will finally be able to release the baggage you have been trying to shed for years. Karmic patterns which you have been struggling to let go of will dissolve away. For many people May will be the month during which much of what you have been wanting to release from your life will finally be gone.

The catch?

You have to do your inner work. Yes the energies at play are working with you and on your behalf to make it easier. Some issues and siutations will simply slide away but those beliefs, patterns and behaviors which you have been attached to and are benefiting you on some level are the ones which need further attention in order to let them go.

This is the perfect month to do a past life regression and clear any carry overs from other life times.

It is an excellent time to find and heal the wounded parts of yourself  and bring them into harmony with you really are and what you are creating in your life. The technique I use on myself and with my clients  is Core Belief Engineering; it’s powerful and it works.

If you have never done any personal or spiritual growth work now is a great time to get started. If you are well on your way keep going! Free your Spirit from limitations.

There are so many energy shifts this month that I will be writing about them in pieces as they come up. Some information will come via this blog and other bits will be posted on my Face Book page. Please make sure you are connected with me on FB because as spur of the moment information comes up, I post it immediately at that location.

This past weekend a huge wave of energy created a layer of emotion rising to the surface; noticed by many people. I was told by my Council of 12– The Tribunal that for most it was a layer of deep seated anger; mostly self judgement. It manifested in tears, meltdowns, destructive eating and drinking and a general feeling of self loathing and blah. It was only this afternoon (Monday April 30th) that this wave of anger began to lift.

During these shifts it is important to observe the emotion and energy rather then fall into the thick of it. Process it and let it go. This is where the inner work comes in.

On Saturday May 5, 2012 we will experience a Super Full Moon in the sign of Scorpio at 11:35 pm est. A Super Full Moon occurs when the moon is as close to the earth as it can get and it looks HUGE.

A Scorpio Full Moon has a sexy and passionate energy. You might just find yourself on fire Saturday night. Don’t fight the passion. The energy of this moon will also help to shed the light of truth upon ourselves and our lives. Use the energy to help you to clear the old stale energy of your issues. Let the negativity go. After all that is the theme of 2012: shifting, changing, clearing, stepping into your greatness and rising in consciousness. Take steps towards your dreams and allow the light of the moon to penetrate you deeply and help in the process.

On a side note, super full moons are often associated with earth shakes, rattles and rolls. Just sayin.

This full moon is just the beginning. With Venus in Transit (more to come on that action) and two eclipses on the way, to say hold on tight would be an understatement. Just keep in mind that all of this is happening for your good. That The Universe loves you so much it configures the heavens to assist you on your earthly journey. Rather then hide under the covers face the world and proclaim your magnificence.

Stay tuned for more…

Love, Esther

I  have been challenged  by Universe to examine the question –Am I enough?

The first thing I realized was that the question am I enough is different from the question am I good enough.

Some of you might be thinking well what is the difference?

Allow me to show you through illustration.

One orange is good, but is it enough?

One hundred dollars is good, but is it enough?

The information is good, but is it enough?

My career is good, but is it enough?

I am good enough, but am I enough?

Do you see the difference?

Several years ago I stood firm in my knowledge that I am good enough so this question of am I enough intrigued me and exploring it has taken me to new levels of self love.

It has forced me to confront and address layers of self judgement so subtle that I was not consciously aware they existed.

After weeks of observing and working on this issue I have accessed a deeper understanding of who I am as a Spirit; as an infinite being.

As an infinite being I am connected to Source– All That Is.

When I am connected to All That Is then I am everything.

Because I am everything I hold the vibration of everything that exists.

And because I am everything holding the vibration of everything that exists,  I came to the conclusion that I am enough.

In fact I am more then enough.

Holding this knowing consciously and subconsciously has been a crucial step on my journey of stepping into  All That I AM and my I AM Presence. 

Why?

Because  now when I feel that I don’t have enough of something in my life whether it is  money, success, friendship, food, creativity, fun, travel, opportunity etc… holding strongly the  core belief that I am enough prevents me from slipping into a meltdown of lack and all of the poor behavior patterns attached to it.

Now I am able to stop, be still and say to myself but I am enough.

There is power in those words and in that knowing.

And you know what?

You are enough too.

~Love, Esther

What if you loved your sadness, your stress, your insecurities, your anger?

What if instead of judging your habits you said, “I love you,” to them.

What if instead of berating yourself about what you just did wrong you said to yourself,  ”I love you when you do ____.”

What if you just loved all those labeled negative emotions, behaviors and patterns instead of fighting and resisting them?

May I suggest that wrapped in love all that is not a vibrational match simply melts away.

When you love those self judgements of good or bad you are just like The Universe, God, The Divine  who loves you unconditionally no matter what you do, say or think.

And if you give yourself this self love, what do you think would happen to those labeled negativity’s.

What if?

~Love, Esther

*This post is a follow up to The 10 Most Important Minutes Of Your Day –click here to read it first.

Now that you are off to a great start each day the next five most important minutes are right before you fall asleep.

The book is closed, lights are out and slumber calls. The five minutes before you head off into your sleep state are perfect for programing your subconscious mind with all of the beliefs, visions, patterns and behaviors you want to hold and experience in your life.

Why? Because  studies show that your subconscious is receptive and will integrate the information while you sleep.

Here are some suggestions of what you can do to make the most of this time. I do them all every night.

• Call back all of your energy,  which you left scattered throughout the day, back to your body. ( I have written about this before–click here to reread that post)
• Release from your body and energy field  other people’s energy. You will be surprised how many people attach and stick to you throughout the day. Send them home.
• Review your day giving thanks for all of the blessings, victories and lessons you have learned. This practice of gratitude keeps you from focusing on the negative and yes sometimes just making it through the day is a blessing.
• Declare your day complete.
• Bring to mind any beliefs or affirmations you are wanting to integrate more deeply into your subconscious. For instance: I am enough. I am lovable. I accept myself. The Universe provides and is always conspiring on my behalf. I am smart.
• On the screen of your mind or in your feeling, sensing body think about a situation you want to create in your life. Imagine it as if it is happening now and feel the feeling of it. Drop into that feeling deeply so that it is the last thing you feel and remember before you fall asleep.

Now while you are in a sleep state your subconscious mind has good things to mull over and integrate rather then worry about bills, focus on aches and pains or build upon stress.

The last and first five minutes of your day are the 10 most important minutes of each and every day. Use this time in a conscious and wise manner to set yourself up for success and fill your being with all that you are, a magnificent conscious creator.

~Love, Esther

The best time to program our mind for what we want to create in our lives is when we are in a half awake, half asleep state.

When working with my therapy clients to establish new beliefs, I always suggest that they review their new beliefs right before lights out and again before their feet hit the floor in the morning.

Why? Because studies prove  that the last five minutes before you fall asleep and the first five minutes when you wake up in the morning are the 10 most important minutes of your day. It’s the best  time to program your brain so that you can create life the way you want on your terms. When you are in that half awake half asleep state your subconscious is ready to absorb whatever you tell it.

Let’s begin with the first five minutes of your morning.

You wake up either with an alarm, the rising sun or kids shouting for breakfast.

Now here is what I do and offer as a suggestion to you:

• Make sure that your spirit and body are reconnected. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for our spirit to get settled back into the body after a night of astral travelling.
• Next I  connect with the light of Source Energy and ask it to pour into me through the crown of my head filling my being  with its love and enhancing my connectivity with Universe.
• In addition, I always like to make sure that my heart is flooded with the emotion and energy of joy.
• Then I say out loud or silently to myself a few of the beliefs that I am wanting to hold more deeply in my mind. The belief I am currently working on owning is– I am enough.
• Once that is complete I begin to mull over my day and I briefly touch on the various appointments and activities I have scheduled imaging the perfect outcome and infusing the energy of love and joy into each scenario.
• The last step is that I give thanks to God for giving me the breath to enjoy another day on planet earth and ask that He prepare me for whatever may happen during the day that I am yet unaware of.

Only then do I bound out of bed.

This daily routine often takes less then five minutes and sets the tone for me, my day and how I will influence everyone I come into contact with.

The alternative is to wake up and instantly groan about the rain pelting against the window, think about  my afternoon meeting with a feeling of dread, grumble at the thought of hitting the gym, worry about paying a bill or the health of a loved one or focus on the annoying noise coming from outside.

If you start your day in this manner, with a focus on the negative, you are  setting yourself up for more of the same. Blech.

Here’s the best part, you get to choose how you want to create your day. You get to decide on what you want to focus on for those first five minutes of each morning.

Love, joy and perfect outcomes in gratitude? or

Noise, fear and limitations which you have bought into but aren’t really you.

Which will you choose?

~Love, Esther

Stay tuned for the next post on the five minutes before you fall asleep.

There is something  incredibly magnificent happening right now in our world.  Can you feel it?

It is affecting every human being, our animal and plant kingdoms and the elementals.

A new consciousness is being birthed.

A new perspective and awareness is emerging.

The world that we have been yearning for, one full of love, peace, joy and abundance for everyone is coming forth.

It is an exciting time and I along with my spiritual friends (that’s you!) are looking forward to the creation of heaven on earth.

After all that is why we came to the planet at this specific time, to be here during The Shift from the third to the fifth dimension and release from ourselves the limitations we have been holding onto for lifetimes.

There is a rebirth happening right now which cannot be denied. You see it in world events and you feel and notice it within yourself.

Accompanying the rebirth are birthing pains. The earth experiences it. Our plants and animals feel it and I know many of you are as well.

Most often you are describing the pains as–all of your stuff coming to the surface at once. Feeling like everything you believe is an illusion. A sense of overwhelm. Uncertainty of who you are, where you fit in the world and what you want to do with your life.

Don’t worry this is all perfectly normal. You are on track, for in a re-birthing there must be a collapsing of the old.

I know it can be a painful at times but if  you stick with the process you will emerge victorious, all that you truly are–magnificent!

I believe that The Shift we speak about started in 2010 and is peaking this year into early 2013.

We are moving into new dimensions and higher levels of being and all  that we are not– our baggage, is coming up to the surface for examination and release.

Some people do this easily because they have been working on themselves, they are ready to let go and are consciously aware that they came to this lifetime to transform.

Others are being challenged by the process as they are awakening in the thick of things.

Sadly some people are still asleep, fighting The Shift, arguing for their limitations. These people who are refusing to look at and release their stuff are having huge challenges

Let me say it again–we came to the planet at this particular time to wake up to who we really are.

If you are reading this post I guarantee that  you are waking up.

You are realizing that you create your own reality. You are questioning your beliefs. You are wanting to create wholeness within, connect with Source and be your true self.

From my perspective this is awesome even if it is painful.

As you face your stuff you have to decide— Am I going to continue to hold onto that old, outdated, limiting garbage?– or Am I  going to create my reality on my terms with new beliefs, attitudes and perspectives chosen by me?

~Love, Esther

Were you up in the early hours of the morning? My body pinged out of bed at 3:39 am EST right between a shift in the Moon position and Mercury turning direct. I was definitely feeling the energy change and so were many of you because I was tweeting with you before dawn. (follow me on twitter and we can tweet too: soul_whispers).

After a few weeks of retrograde, Mercury turning direct will feel like a breath of fresh air. Things that were stuck will get moving again so look for a big release on Wednesday as the flow of energy begins again in a forward motion.

Get ready for emails, calls and opportunities to pour in. You may feel overwhelmed at times and wonder what has been holding all of this back? Mercury retrograde of course.

Although we will be in the shadow of Mercury Retrograde for a few days it is time once again to take action, make the deal, sign contracts and launch new products and services.

During this retrograde we were asked to take time to pause and reflect on where we want to go and what we need to get rid of to get there. Universe took me on a journey deeper into self love exploring the issue of self judgement in a whole new way. Releasing this layer of self judgement has been freeing and is creating great compassion for myself.

Last night the energies were giving us one more opportunity to let go of that which does not serve us. For me it came in the form of several issues coming to a head for observation and release. And last night an impromtu purge of a desk drawer filled with business papers I had been holding onto for over four years. I took this as a sign that there will be a shift in my career and business.

When I tweeted I was cleaning drawers I received many tweets from fellow tweeters who were also feeling compelled to clean out closets proving once again that Universe always has our back and is nudging us forward.

Over the coming weeks problems with communications and decision-making we may have encountered while Mercury was retrograde will begin to clear up. Phew, I had issues with cheques of all things.

I’m curious, during this period of Mercury Retrograde what did you purge? What interesting information was revealed to you? As you move forward what new approach are you taking? What new belief or attitude are you holding?

Good things are happening and I would love to hear how this past retrograde affected you.  Please leave a comment.
