Full Moon in Aries ~ October 6-7, 2025

Posted by laurabruno in Astrology. Tagged: , , , .

The Full Moon in Aries happens at 11:58 p.m. Eastern US time on October 6, which means for much of the world, it occurs on the 7th. Aries is a sign of action, courage, and sometimes war, so let’s focus on harnessing the positives without getting aggressive.

This is known as the Hunter’s or Harvest Moon, with emphasis on things coming full circle or into a new phase of culmination. It initiates one of several major turns of the Great Big Wheel in the Sky during the rest of 2025. Gears click in, and things can (finally) begin to move forward.

The Sabian Symbol for this Full Moon is “(ARIES 15°): AN INDIAN WEAVING A CEREMONIAL BLANKET.” Dane Rudhyar adds a “KEYNOTE: Projecting into everyday living the realization of wholeness and fulfillment. … We are told by it that the FULFILLMENT OF DESIRE is a possibility, at whatever level and in however incomplete a manner it may be experienced.”

The Sabian Symbol for the Sun point is “(LIBRA 15°): CIRCULAR PATHS,” which reminds us of cyclical opportunities. Sometimes old things come up, and they seem like repetition, but if we work with those memories, we might find them less sticky than they used to be. We’re on a higher or deeper level of the spiral, not just circling the drain or running around the same race track over and over again. Dane Rudhyar elaborates in a “KEYNOTE: Coming to terms with the inevitability of establishing steady rhythms of social activity.“

In the Aries-Libra axis, we explore tensions between what “I” need (Aries) and what “we” need (Libra). Re-balancing previous relationship patterns can free up a lot of energy! On the higher levels, we could see courage, power, and action (Aries) to create the most beautiful, harmonious forms of justice and partnership (Libra). Beware of wishy washy indecision and too much mental energy at this time. When in doubt, pause, breathe, and feel into that sparkly new reality trying to manifest in the direction you already feel led to walk.

Aries Full Moon, October 6, 2025, 11:58 p.m., Washington, D.C.

I pulled the chart for Washington, D.C., and you can see Saturn and Neptune straddling the Midheaven at 27° Pisces and 0° Aries. On the political level, that puts the focus front and center on accountability (Saturn) for deception (Neptune). The Full Moon happens in the 10th house, meaning a public shift. With Neptune and Chiron in Aries, too, some of that shift could feel confusing (Neptune) or painful (Chiron)–but on a higher level, we get beautiful spirituality and a chance to heal old wounds. Uranus in the 11th house indicates surprising changes with regard to groups–friends, political parties, and alliances could shift in ways that unlock American hopes and dreams.

That’s specific for Washington/the U.S., but in general, we find more energy for action related to situations that used to feel victimizing (Black Moon Lilith conjunct Mars in Scorpio). With Venus conjunct the South Node in Virgo, we could also hear from old lovers or relationships, as well as reassess our values. This plays into the ongoing trine between Pluto at 1° Aquarius and Uranus at 1° Gemini–both outer planets in Air, both retrograde, so the shifts happen internally on the mental realm, as well as outside in collective events. We have an opportunity to throw off old, toxic restrictions and group think (Pluto in Aquarius) and liberate ourselves with new information (Uranus in Gemini).

Although radical change can feel stressful, it doesn’t have to feel bad. Many of you have longed for these shifts for years, perhaps even gave up that they would ever happen. It probably won’t all happen in an instant, but we’re likely to find rapid, systemic change both in ourselves and in the collective. This is the time we’ve been preparing for since early 2020, and in some ways, it may go all the way back to pre-9/11. Think of the collective trauma foisted upon humanity and realize we now have the opportunity to reset. We can retain the lessons of the trauma, but a lot of that PTSD will slough off.

Jupiter in Cancer squares Chiron in Aries, so we can expect more issues and healing around “family” or “motherhood.” That might include biological family, but it could also involve internal shifts in how we understand family dynamics. Expectations trip up so many people in this area, because the idea of family often looks so different than the behaviors, gaslighting and abuse. This Full Moon in Aries invites us to align more with healing (Chiron in Aries), and focus on the truth aspect of Jupiter. More family, more obligations, and more food are not always the best solutions. You do you, and when you do, don’t turn around and punish yourself five minutes later!

Everyone’s on their own journey. Some of us will walk together the whole way. Others will come and go, and some will fall away. It feels easier to spend time with people roughly in your same frequency. Too much divergence creates static and can grow painful if we try to force ourselves into worn out situations or relationships. Aries offers us an extra dose of courage to stay the course and welcome in something new and more expansive, wonderful and healing than we’ve allowed ourselves to imagine.

Neptune at 0° Aries and Uranus at 1° Gemini both point to Mercury at 0° Scorpio, forming a Yod–a Finger of God pointing to deep, hidden truth (Mercury in Scorpio). Shadows come to light, leading to spiritual and intuitive breakthroughs with cosmic implications and support.

Questions to ponder at the Aries Full Moon:

What do I need or want in order to move forward?

What do I fear, and why?

Is it exciting/expansive fear, or contracting fear?

Who or what lights my fire?

Denial and Liberation

Posted by laurabruno in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , .

I came across a post from January 2016, early on in the United States’ first Pluto Return. Now, almost six years later, we’re much closer to exact. As we enter Scorpio season, even more Plutonian energies arise from the depths. I’ve updated the post for late 2021, but it didn’t require much tweaking. We are in it! Fortunately, after the death and destruction, Pluto and Scorpio specialize in rebirth, regeneration and renewal. When we face our shame and fears, we transmute them. This post explores some ways to do that:

Charles Dickens said it, and I agree, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

After so many phone sessions and other conversations, I feel I need to re-acknowledge that yes, amidst all the insanity out there, all the people dying, lockdowns and mandates, supply chain disruptions, the supposedly tanking global economy, all the long term relationships splitting up, and whatever else your news feed, neighbors or own life is stirring up … I can assure you that some truly wonderful, magical, long held dreams, and heartfelt desires are coming into being. All. Over. The. World. People I know, clients, friends, relatives … some real, live people are right this moment finding roads to authenticity and peace spread wide before them.

Tania Marie and I were discussing this polarity today — of extraordinarily amazing things happening while the rest of the world seems to fall apart — and we agree that one key factor is how someone deals with denial.

For people who’ve spent months, years or decades facing down their Shadows, inner demons, and the exasperating uncertainties of life, the world’s chaos keeps opening and aligning grand opportunities for healing, joy and liberation. To quote Nietzsche, “Remember, one must have chaos inside in order to birth a dancing star.” If that idea challenges you, then you might want to treat yourself to some remedial Joanna Macy.

Like it or not, denial continues to become more and more difficult to maintain.

I’ve watched without surprise as supposedly “perfect relationships” “broke up out of nowhere … people who’ve been together forever!” Only the rosiest glasses could have failed to read the writing on those couples’ walls, and yet … many bystanders find themselves reeling with shock right now. Relationship endings can disappoint and traumatize, but when a relationship requires one or both people to live a lie in order to maintain it, then the energies of our times no longer support that relationship. We live in awakening times. You can fight awakening and the responsibility it brings, but not without consequences.

For as many people grieving the loss of a relationship, I know at least as many people celebrating their liberation from co-dependence and/or abuse. The current energies support the desire and right to live in mutual respect. Current energies also support the courage to demand that respect and the means to leave situations in which others refuse to honor healthy and respectful boundaries.

Regardless of heart strings — or maybe because of the strong pull on them right now — denial no longer remains an easy option. 

Whether in other countries or inside your own private turmoil, if you want support from the current energies, it’s time to look your fear in the face. Contrary to the saying, not all fear is “false evidence appearing real.” Sometimes fear comes as a valid warning of things way out of balance. Learning to discern real fear can help you to avoid unnecessary trauma. You don’t want to get swallowed or paralyzed by fear, but assessing the situation that triggered fear and then addressing that situation, opens possibilities for positive change and renewal. Refusing to assess and address fearful situations does not make them go away. It turns them into bigger Shadows, threats and manifested traumas until you learn to navigate the scary spots.

Read some faery tales. The real ones, not Disney. Real wisdom lies hidden in those stories from the Brothers Grimm and old folk tales. Happy endings don’t always occur, but when they do, they happen because the hero or heroine faced the fear, activated creativity, and managed to align with help from beyond. You can do that, too. Whatever fear or despair you face, whatever floor just dropped from underneath you, you can find a way to integrate that experience into a rich, authentic and ultimately more fulfilling life trajectory. Loss of innocence hurts, but it also heals.

If you’re one of those magical people experiencing all manner of blessings in life right now, don’t feel afraid to share your stories, triumphs and joy with others. People need to know of other possibilities. They need to know a phoenix can and does rise from its own funeral pyre. Don’t feel ashamed of your blessings. It’s OK to ask for help, but it’s also perfectly permissible — necessary even — to scatter pixie dust and radiate joy to a scared and grieving world.

Peace in, peace out.

Inelia Benz ~ The Splitting of the Worlds –Coming to a planet near You!

Posted by laurabruno in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , .

Thanks to Lance White for sending this my way. Inelia shares further insights on the splitting of the worlds, along with the tension between the human collective pushing for a very fast separation, rather than the planet’s desire for a slower, more gradual awakening and splitting. We shall see how this all plays out. Thanks to Inelia and Lance!

In 2011 a separation occurred in the human collective. Those who wanted to have a fear free, empowered, aware, awake reality of physical incarnation, and those who didn’t. Gaia has actively been pushing for a physical separation that is done through time, three generations, and is trauma free and gentle. We, the human collective, however, have been pushing for a fast and furious separation.

Various people, and environments I find myself in, have mentioned WWIII, and other doomsday scenarios. I am presently in various conversations via email, txt, physical and at WalkWithMeNow. com, about this topic.

It appears, very strongly, that a fast physical separation of realities is being chosen by our collective. How this comes about, well, that’s what we are playing with at the moment. What we are deciding on.

Most of the people on Earth will interpret and manifest the choice depending on what is real to them. What choices they see as real.

One thing to remember is that no one chooses for us, or chooses us, there is no chosen people. No targeted people. It is each person who chooses for themselves. If you are working on yourself, you have chosen an empowered reality, it is that simple.

I’ve lived through close encounters with doomsday timelines before. And that’s certainly one way we could do this, but what I sense now is a strong “collision” with a timeline of vibrational physical separation.

This may play out in war and violence and billions of deaths, or may play out in ways we cannot even start to imagine, but are open to “that or better” .

What we have been doing, identifying resonance, dissonance, is exactly this. We are splitting the worlds. We are at an advantage in that we do it consciously. But everyone is at it in some form or other. (This months MP3 Detoxify Your Life Now discusses resonance and dissonance in great depth)

It is easy to be sucked into a battle field. The energy of the savior, the martyr, the soldier, the warrior, the commander, is strong is some of us here. But it implies a lowering of vibration, as all war and conflict is low vibrational by nature. If you do feel pulled in, to save, protect, others, I would suggest to examine the energy of the “guardian” ; instead. Not the weaponized guardian, but the guardian like an impenetrable wall energy. No consequences to who tries to trespass, just an impossibility of getting through.

We are bridges for people to pass through into the new paradigm. But it appears that soon, many of us will become a wall to stop the old paradigm from polluting the new. A wall that is so clear, so awake that cannot be infused with, manipulated, or corrupted by programs or judgments, or temptations.

Or maybe not

The physical separation is really up on the human collective mind right now. I would say, for now, just observe it.

As I observe it, and this is something that is coming out in the Interview with a Psychic Assassin book, there is a third option manifesting. It’s is so outside of our reality scale that it needs to be observed.

Basically, light and dark can and do exist without the other. In fact, that’s the only way they can exist. We can see both because there is both existing separately from each other in our world. There is also a reality where neither exists.

And something that is just appearing in our awareness, is a reality where they both exist as One. Not light and dark making grey, but making a color that is not in our spectrum. Not a reality where they neutralize or mesh, but where a new element emerges.

The urge to separate to different realities seems to be somehow related to the emergence of this new vibration. It is almost like if we don’t separate now, we will be all gobbled up into the new element and that is so unknown, so different, so “not human” that we are pushing our choice hard now. Do you feel fear? Fear could be a pull to familiar surrounds.

Do we feel a desire to find out more? A way, perhaps to explore where other’s have not gone before.

The only way we can stay clear, and keep our choice conscious, is to actively pursue resonance, and actively not engage in dissonance.

In joy/light/love,

– Inelia

James Gilliland ~ “Your Actions Are Screaming So Loud I Cannot Hear Your Words.”

Posted by laurabruno in Uncategorized. Tagged: , , , , , .

Ah, James, thank you for blasting some clarity into the doublespeak and hypnotic miasma of our times. It’s really much simpler than the psychopaths would have us believe. 😉 Thanks, G, for bringing my attention to this post.

James Gilliland ~ “Your Actions Are Screaming So Loud I Cannot Hear Your Words.”

We are seeing this now in all aspects of our lives. Almost all the institutions are acting completely contrary to their mandates and their words are in complete contradiction to their actions.

There is a saying – a man’s/woman’s character is established by their actions. Their actions are representative of just who is driving their boat. Whether it be social programming, a wounded ego, unseen negative influences, or a healthy soul and spirit the actions clearly define who is in charge. No matter how much we might want to be-lie-ve in someone we cannot discount their actions. Although it seems to be quite easy for them to deny, avoid and continue on; those days of denial are coming to a close.

With the new higher consciousness and energy as well as universal law pressing hard upon humanity and the Earth nothing will remain hidden. The action/reaction principle or karma will also be amplified and accelerated, no matter where you go there you are. You cannot hide from yourself or the reactions to your actions.

Now is the time to release the past, heal all wounds and traumas from past experiences, align with soul and spirit and act within Universal Law, Principles and Understandings necessary for a healthy society and environment. Step out of your pain bodies. Forgive yourself and others. Make your own personal God/Creator/Spirit connection and act on the inner guidance.

Any guidance of a lower nature will only cause more pain, suffering or loss. Unity consciousness is a wave that is exponentially building. Nothing will stand in its way. It is all about choice and action now choose and act wisely. This will determine your tomorrow. Be well,

My mantra is only love shall come to me and through me.

Tom Lescher: Astrology, Sheep, Individuation and Awakening

Posted by laurabruno in Astrology. Tagged: , , , , , .

Astrologer Tom Lescher uploaded this video for the June 20, 2012 Summer Solstice. He covers two different squares happening — Uranus Square Pluto and Jupiter Square Neptune — as well as the Sun’s move into Cancer. He’s got some empowering information about those things that seem beyond our control. They are “nothing but a reflection of our own unconscious need to awaken” and he reminds us of the availability of “untapped reservoirs of help.”

Tom’s videos tend to resonate strongly with information I’ve been getting in sessions and my own meditations. He even talks about the Wheel of Fortune tarot card. The masculine/patriarchy “is on the top, but on its way down.” The feminine forces and “dark midnight” are turning towards the top. This doesn’t mean men vs. women. Within individuals the balancing of masculine and feminine energies will continue with feelings beginning “to rise up and impregnate the mind” with solutions and creative new energies. “Our feelings guide us into the reservoir of that unique, powerful Self.”

Tom’s advice and meditation:

“‘May the waters of feeling from deep down within me guide me through the changes before me.’ There is so much going on I didn’t even get to Saturn going direct also! Next week we can look at the far reaching changes indicated in that event. For now, suffice it to say that it may be time to put the iphone down, turn off the chatter and listen inwardly for some REAL guidance in making tough choices. Aloha!”

(Just a quick note from Laura that the sound at the very end of the video is LOUD. Once he says, “Aloha, so much love. Namaste. Enjoy these times; they don’t come back,” I suggest you turn down the volume or hit mute. The rest of the video works perfectly. 🙂 )

What Can You Do?

Posted by laurabruno in Healing Stories. Tagged: , , , , , , , , .

This post is a long time coming, although in many ways, I’ve been piecemealing out the information as I feel led. Clients, blog readers, friends and family who have begun to wake up keep asking me, “What can we do?” They either feel overwhelmed by the challenges ahead of them, or overwhelmed by day-to-day living and obligations. They would love to contribute to a positive collective timeline, but a) they don’t understand what the heck a timeline is and/or b) they don’t see how the “little” things in their sphere of influence could possibly have much impact on the bigger picture.

Regarding the timelines, parallel universes and reality creation: these are not things you will likely understand with a 3D brain from a 3D perspective — unless — you actively engage the ideas with a temporary suspension of disbelief. With practice and careful attention to your feelings and senses, nudges followed by inspired action, and by watching the eventual manifestations, you will begin to intuit how things work for you. There are general guidelines, but what matters most to you? An abstract ability to explain things in scientific or “normal” terms, or the consistent ability to get where you’d most love to go? I try to work in a few posts here and there that include scientific support for such theories, as well as Abraham-Hicks videos and messages, Dolores Cannon‘s research from 1000’s of deep trance hypnotherapy clients, forgotten wisdom from Avalon and the Druids, as well as Mayan prophecies … but that’s just to give your left brain something to chew on while the rest of you gets back to experiencing. 😉

Experience and experiment share the same root, and people most truly feel they know something by experiencing it for themselves. With repeat experiments, you begin to know what works for you. By sharing your results with others engaged in similar experiments, you begin to know an even bigger picture of how things work. Will your left brain be able to explain it to everyone else? Not necessarily. But you will start to have a lot of very interesting stories, synchronicities, “Divine interventions,” and positive manifestations. You will also start to notice that your attitude and attention exert influence over what “happens” in your external reality. You don’t need to explain yourself; you can simply live your results and let the results speak for themselves.

Remember that Joseph Campbell quote? “Follow your bliss, and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” You can think of those doors as portals to other timelines, parallel universes or even new universes created by the big bang of your wanting, followed by positive feelings and attention to what you want. You don’t need to know which you’ve done, i.e. if you’ve hopped a timeline, created a new universe or jumped into a parallel reality. With practice, you might develop such awareness, but in practical terms, the reliable ability to create and embrace what you’d most love to experience is more important (and more interesting to non-believers) than all the explanations in the world.

Eventually, even the logical mind admits that the results speak for themselves. The “show me” and “prove it” parts can no longer deny consistent results. As Gandhi said, “You must become the change you wish to see in the world.” Instead of preaching with your words, actually follow through on what you know. Latch onto your bliss and let it take you to destinations beyond your left brain’s wildest expectations. Become a whole-brained individual who is logical enough to allow whatever works best to become the dominant method.

OK, fine, but what can we do about our collective reality? I see all these government regulations and radiation, pollution and the threat of Earth Changes. I’m not a gazillionaire with tons of influence. What can I do in daily life to help the situation?

Never underestimate the power of tiny shifts of attitude and attention when you have flowing through you the power to create universes. And we all do have that power flowing through us! Use those negatives you know you absolutely do not want to help you figure out the positives that you do want. If you don’t want to live in a police state, then focus on freedom — especially freeing yourself from your own personal, inner police state. If you want to live in freedom from your government, then you can start by giving yourself permission to be yourself. Allow yourself to honor your preferences. Allow yourself to express your inner truth.

The irony of censorship is that most people gag themselves so tightly that they don’t need any kind of external crackdown. They’re afraid even to voice certain thoughts and desires inside their own mind. You don’t need Thought Police when you are your own 24-7 Thought Police, denying or postponing everything that makes you feel alive and joyful. Censorship of the press and controlled media are doing this world a favor by encouraging people to value freedom of expression. That freedom doesn’t come from your government. It comes from yourself. Let your creative juices flow and make a painting, form a pot, or arrange some flowers. Share your gifts with yourself and with the world. Allow yourself to journal about things you truly desire. Stop censoring yourself, and you will find that the media and government cooperate. As within, so without. When you don’t want something manifesting outside you, address and then shift anything inside you that resonates with it. When nothing in you resonates with that “reality,” then and only then, will those scenarios leave your experience.

Yeah, but what about those Dark Goddess energies you keep mentioning? Is Mother Earth really that pissed off at us?

Mother Earth loves you, but she can only handle so much abuse. She knows she needs to heal, and she will do it whether you cooperate or not. Make no mistake: she loves you. If she can cleanse, heal and ascend while still having you on board, she will do so. She is, however, committed to her own survival. If you, and the rest of humanity, continue to abuse her, you leave her no choice but to leave you behind.

It’s no different than the battered woman who attends therapy and keeps showing up in the emergency room due to a husband who ridicules, devalues, and beats her. Maybe she stays for the children. Maybe she stays because she doesn’t feel strong enough to leave. At some point, she realizes that if things don’t change, that husband will kill her. If she wants to live, then she will leave because she’s tried everything else in her power. At that point, the Dark Goddess energies kick in to help her. She becomes not the meek, abused little puppy, but the growling Mama Bear who will protect herself and the innocent cubs no matter what stands in her way. Emphasis on innocent. If you are participating in the abuse, then you are not innocent. Most of humanity participates in the abuse on a daily if not hourly basis. Witnessing abuse when you have the power to stop it makes you culpable. Renouncing your power so that you “can’t” (read “won’t”) take the actions you know you can and must take puts you in a position of one who gets left behind, no matter how much that abused Mother loves you. She can’t afford to have people devalue her and passively or actively endorse her abusers.

Mama Earth is approaching Mama Bear time. She doesn’t particularly want to throw off the humans, but she needs to know that things are changing. For real this time. No more hollow words without a radical shift in perspective. No more disrespect. She’s trying to heal and give birth at the same time. She’s like a pregnant, abused mother who has cancer and is trying to give birth — all at once. She’s strong, but she can and will no longer tolerate being kicked, humiliated, raped and poisoned while she’s working to save her own life and birth a new reality. Can you blame her?

This all sounds dire, but it doesn’t need to be. The collective can shift right this very moment. We can “get” it, see Gaia for who and what she is, express our gratitude and love. We can create organic gardens. We can thank weeds like dandelion and nettles for nourishing and purifying the soil. We can thank seaweed for purifying the oceans.

We can stop supporting all GMO foods. Period. Just stop. Yes, this will result in a very different way of grocery shopping. Yes, this will result in mind-altering awakenings and spontaneous healing. Yes, this will result in going more local and cutting back on fossil fuels, BigAg and BigPharma. Any questions? These are the kinds of shifts we need to make right now. And we can. If you can’t see yourself getting rid of all GMO foods right now, then take a tiny, conscious step in that direction. Have an organic salad for lunch twice per week, or grow a windowsill pot of your own basil for pesto. Spend a Saturday morning at your local farmer’s market. Just do something that resonates with a healing, loving, natural and honoring direction. And keep adding to that something.

Want to do more? Talk to the Elementals and converse with the Elements. Send healing energy to the waters of this planet. Dr. Emoto has shown that water responds to words and intentions. Start sending them. Start saying Ho’o Pono Pono to the water. “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.” Say that to the Earth. And mean it! Thank the flowers and the bees. Gratitude heals. Walk barefoot on the Earth. Feel yourself connecting to that energy. Send and receive love through your feet. Take a gardening, herb, and/or wild foraging class. Get some plant and nature books out of your local library and actually read them. Stand in the rain and let it pour over you. Sit in the sunshine and appreciate how the planet responds. Feel yourself as the bridge you are between heaven and earth.

Want to do even more? Practice responsible creation. If you know that thoughts create reality and you don’t like what you see, start looking for what you’d love to see. Walk outside and appreciate the beauty of your neighborhood. Even if you live in the city, you can find natural elements to love. Central Park offers diverse, wild Nature, right in the middle of NYC. You probably have purslane, dandelions, plantain or chicory growing in your sidewalk cracks. You’ve got flowers shamelessly announcing their sexuality and joy for all the world to see. Emulate them. You are beautiful, but you will be even more beautiful if you can find and honor yourself without feeling ashamed of who and what you are.

Want to do even more than that? Sing. Invite sacred chants and mantras into your life and belt those melodies into land, sea and sky. Music is all numbers, and numbers are the universal language. Frequency. Sing your heart out. Isn’t that what the angels do? Think of yourselves as Earth Angels, actively creating harmony and balance through every thought, word and deed.

Can you do more? Of course you can! How much do you love your Mother? How much do you love yourself? How much do you love each other? Show it. Little gestures, big gestures: size doesn’t matter in this case. Just start showing and being Love. YOU are IT.

I will leave you with this sincere and fervent prayer to the Goddess for forgiveness. It’s as good a place to start as any:

Bill Ballard: Timeline Decisions and the New Earth

Posted by laurabruno in Astrology, Intuition, meditation. Tagged: , , , , , .

Here’s a video by my friend, Bill Ballard. I’ve been watching him grow younger and younger with each video, which is really fun and a testament to the joyful, playful, rejuvenating energies coming through. Bill has helped facilitate 40-Day group visualization events for several years now, having various foci to help bring in positive 5D timelines for a New Earth. In this video, he speaks about removing all limitations and allowing ourselves to “dream our wildest dreams.” Watch the light energy around his throat chakra as he gets more and more excited about each of us affecting the collective with our own Light expansion and activation as we create and manifest “the new illusion,” the New Earth. Thanks and love to Bill and a joyful journey to all of us!

Teach a Man to Fish

Posted by laurabruno in Healing Stories, Health, Past Lives. Tagged: , , , , .

“Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.” —Author unknown

No, I don’t eat fish, and yes, this analogy applies to women and children as well as men. I mention it today because so many people have lately requested I “just heal them” of whatever physical, mental, emotional or spiritual pains trouble them. I keep having to say, “No, I will not do the work for you, but I will teach you how to heal yourself. The energies of this time do not support a complete outsourcing of self-healing or any other responsibility. Yes, in most cases, I can help, but that comes through educating people about how their own energy system, karma, and self-talk work so that they know how to shift themselves into the positive feelings they’d prefer.”

Some people appreciate this, while others feel angry that I’m withholding what I “could” give them. The truth is that I love and honor them enough to offer much more than just a quick fix. The challenges of our times (both individual and collective) all stem from people outsourcing their own responsibility, which ultimately results in feeling “stuck” or “trapped” by circumstances “outside” their control.

When we abdicate personal responsibility, we also give away our freedom and power. In order to reclaim freedom and power, we must accept the responsibility that goes along with them. Yes, we can ask for help, but we should be wary of those who offer or claim to do everything for us, because real healing and empowerment come from within. Giving responsibility for our own well-being to another person, corporation, doctor, government, religion, or the economy makes us vulnerable to their whims, flaws, limitations and control. How can we know they truly have our best interests in mind? What choices do they leave us for opting out if we don’t like this feeling of dependence? What if we learn, mid-stream, that they not only can’t live up to their promises to save us, but never intended to do so in the first place?

Suddenly, the free ride doesn’t seem so free. Whatever its form, true healing comes with a price. In most cases, that price means throwing off the illusions that got us sick, ill, in debt or trapped. Some of these illusions run deep, and we may not want to let them go; however, we will only heal to the degree we manage to surrender the illusions. We can’t fake this casting off process to our deepest selves. If we haven’t finished, then the same issue(s) will continue to appear until we clear away the root distortions and lies. I see these patterns in clients and myself regarding past life issues, limiting beliefs and the blame game. Understanding our process makes letting go much easier. It might seem to take longer to learn how and why we engage in certain patterns, but ultimately, consciousness is more efficient than playing whack-a-mole with the next symptom, drama or disappointment.

Solutions from outside ourselves may ease pain for a moment, but they won’t help when the next challenge appears. And rest assured, in 2012, challenges will continue to appear! Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” As the veils drop, people will begin to see myriad ways in which the current paradigm functions as a dictatorship. Life is upside down, inside out and backwards — and has been for a long, long time. Recognizing the inversions takes courage:

“MUCH madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
’T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur,—you ’re straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.” ~Emily Dickinson

Healing such inversions requires courage, an understanding of how things become inverted, and acceptance of the personal responsibility to right those things within our own perspective, attitudes and vibration. At best, surface action and outsourced healing act as band-aids, but they won’t correct the root problem. At worst, they can amplify the root problem of giving away power and control to someone or something else. The famous slave-turned-Underground-Railroad-Guide Harriet Tubman said, “I grew up like a neglected weed – ignorant of liberty, having no experience of it.” “I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.” In a society that feeds external dependence and spiritual disconnection, most people remain ignorant of liberty. We get to know liberty by cultivating an intimate relationship with it. We liberate ourselves each time we remember we change our outer world by changing ourselves within.

Healing and freedom go together. That’s why Harriet Tubman could say, “I never ran my train off track and I never lost a passenger.” The sooner we realize that our natural state is one of flow, Grace, health, wholeness, freedom and total alignment, the faster we can readjust whenever something begins to pull us off course. Faster adjustments mean less time in pain, resistance and poverty. When we learn to conduct ourselves, we stop running off track. We feel balanced, free, healed and whole.

Will I heal you? No. It is not my responsibility to heal you, but I love teaching people how they can heal themselves. I love helping people to recognize their own systemic patterns so that shifting one or two areas results in quantum leaping all areas of life affected by those patterns. Sometimes past life awareness heals root causes of distortions; sometimes clearing parasites strengthens the core sense of self; sometimes tough love helps people realize how powerful, magical and connected they already are. Whatever comes through me in sessions, I am not the one doing the healing. “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.” Source energy flows all around and through us, but it cannot force us to embrace that energy. Learning to recognize and correct our own resistance ensures that we can connect to infinite healing, love and freedom whenever we desire. We gain true security by realizing how and why we manage the flow.

Even if I could use my faery magick wand to bless and presto heal everyone I know, the energy of these times runs against such action. From Egypt to Madison to Occupy to localization to grassroots freedom movements, today’s healing energy requires participation in order to work. David Icke describes “Problem-Reaction-Solution” as the means by which the 1% control the 99%. Collectively, the world has begun reacting to problems. Will we scream for the quickest “solutions” offered? Or do we accept responsibility for the world we wish to co-create? Will we become the change we wish to see in the world, or sit back and demand someone else swoop in to save us from ourselves?

Patrick Henry so famously said:

“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

“Is security so dear, or wealth so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

The energy of 2012 supports the passion of Patrick Henry. In a world of so many environmental, economic, personal, and collective ills, we must choose. We can relearn responsibility for managing our own energy, health, finances and reality creation, or we can accept a default reality that may very well extinguish the human race. Each personal healing affects the collective. Each step towards personal sovereignty and well-being empowers the collective. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, but that does not negate the importance of individual parts. I leave you with words of The Elders Oraibi of the Arizona Hopi Nation:

“You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.

“Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.

“And there are things to be considered:

Where are you living?

What are you doing?

What are your relationships?

Are you in right relation?

Where is your water?

Know your garden.

It is time to speak your Truth.

Create your community. Be good to each other. And do not look outside yourself for the leader.

“This could be a good time!

“There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart, and they will suffer greatly.

“Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you and celebrate.

“At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.

“The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

“Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.

“All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.”
