A Vision of an Angel that Changed Me Forever

My life has taken a lot of turns lately, but moving to Tofino has definitely been the most epic one. 

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that while in Hawaii in March, I broke up with my boyfriend and decided to move to Vancouver Island, but I didn’t know exactly where I wanted to move to. 

On May 5th, I packed up my car with all of my belongings, and headed west, only knowing that I was going to make Kelowna and Victoria pit stops on the quest through BC. 

On September 29th, I finally found my spot and moved into a beautiful new house with 2 of the most awesome girls I could ever ask for. 

The time in between those 2 dates, I spent nomading: camping, staying with friends + family, sometimes sleeping in my car, constantly unaware of what my next move would be, constantly changing my mind, trying to follow my heart, even though I was unsure of what it was saying. 

Finally the storm subsided, prayers manifested, and I’ve been able to relax. I’m now joyfully settling into my new home. I am absolutely IN LOVE with this place, and since being in Tofino, I’ve already had some really interesting experiences. 

The other night, I had a dream. 

In it, I was talking to my ex-boyfriend (which totally needs a new title, he is my soul friend through and through) and felt a deep and all encompassing love in my body. He was asking if I wanted to be with him, and though it felt like a part of me was dying, my truth formed the words ‘No’. 

As they came out of my mouth, it felt like one of the most tragic things I ever had to do, knowing that I was deeply in love with this being, but I had to say no.

There was someone in the other room who I wanted to be with instead. Interestingly enough, I felt like the soul I was speaking to in the dream wasn’t actually my ex-boyfriend, it was someone from a past life I had known long ago - I was experiencing a recall.  

The emotions in this dream were insane. They were more than emotions. They were deep spiritual longings. Upon waking, I was kind of torn up. From the depths, I decided to do a chakra clearing meditation while I was laying down, still between the worlds. 

Upon finishing the meditation, I kept going. I asked that the memories from the dream be cleared. 

Suddenly, an intense amount of emotional pain surged through me and out of my heart. The release was uncontrollable, and I started wailing. Not crying, wailing. I couldn’t even make any noise I was crying so hard. So much pain was in my body as I remembered this soul I said no to. It’s indescribable the amount of emotion that was present. 

As it was leaving, I had a vision that lasted as split second, yet imprinted in my mind with virility. An angel, in the form of a large diamond about 5 feet above my heart appeared. Light shone out of it, and it’s presence was both powerful and peaceful. As this light being was above me, the memory and the emotions shot out of my heart, up into the angel’s diamond. I knew instantly it was taking this from me. Forever healed. Finally ready to come up and out of my system. Finally ready to come home.

And then it was over. Adrenaline still pumped through my veins, but I felt a calm and nurturing energy come over me. 

These type of experiences aren’t necessarily unusual for me, yet this particular experience was unique. Every year that I continue on the spiritual path, I have more and more magical experiences. I see more - ex. angels & auras. I feel more - both pain & pleasure. I understand more and yet I embrace that life is really just an all encompassing mystery. 

If you’re on this path, and sometimes you question it, like we all do from time to time, all I can say to you is: keep going.

This journey is real, magic is alive, and although it seems that sometimes it only presents itself in certain moments, it is with us everyday. 

It is just a matter of when we’re ready for it. 

Just a reminder - today is the last day to sign up for the epic spiritual program that is Flower Child. 

What I just described to you above is an experience associated with the ‘Priestess’. This archetype and very real historical title will be discussed in our New Moon call with Vanessa Codorniu. If you’re really intrigued with this path and feel connected to the mysticism of the priestess, I highly suggest you sign up. Though our greatest path is inward, we would be nowhere without teachers that have come before us to share their wealth of experience. We need each other. I love you.

A Bear, A Girl, and an Angel

Deciding to move to Vancouver Island was natural, easy, intuitive. Yet, in the process, it's taken tremendous courage along the way dealing with breaking up, moving, and starting a new for the first time - what's taken most of me so far is the 'separation' from my community in Calgary, which isn't really separate at all, but sometimes our minds get in these places. 

However I've found the start of, what could be, and FEELS to be, entering a community filled with people you are longing to call home with. Love from the core. 

Community is everything. Connection is deep and intimate. Love is light and free.

And that is all you need!! (and some organic veggies in the physical world.. obviously)

Here, I chronicle the events + expressions of my journey so far. 

MOVING TO A NATURAL WORLD

It was the morning of my departure from the city - moving day - and I pulled out my phone to check for any last messages. A picture was waiting for me from one of my best friends: she had pulled an angel card for me - it was Yvonne - who came to assure me that my pets were lovingly protected and watched over. Thinking of my cat, who I had to leave behind for a couple of months while I sorted my living situation out, I thanked her, though I sensed there was more to the message.

At my first stop, just about an hour outside of the city, I pulled over to get some spring water. The mountains were strikingly beautiful, the day was sunny and warm, and before I left with my spring water, I ran to my car to get a little jar of honey. I had brought it as an offering to the fairies + nature spirits that I was to encounter along my journey. The honey acts as a token of gratitude symbolically, but the spirits can also harvest energy from the gift; true nourishment has the ability to transcend dimensions.

It had been a few hours of driving, and I needed a longer break, so I asked Archangel Michael to help me find the perfect spot to turn off the highway. After missing a few, he guided me to one, and I quickly signaled and got off the main road. As soon as I did so, I spotted a beautiful black bear, not but 6 meters from my car.

After squealing in delight I flashed back to the card from the morning, as well as my offering to the fairies, and instantly recognized divine flow.

Feeling full of love, I got out of my car and starting chatting to the bear - and by chatting I mean shrieking with glee, telling it how much I loved it. (Keep in mind, I would only advise approaching wild animals like this if you're really in the flow with the fairies and can sense energy extremely well)

The bear checked me out, and kept walking, stopping every so often to look at me. Then, disappearing through the trees, it was gone.

Delighted, I got back in my car, and continued the journey out west, unaware of the further magical fairy encounters that soon awaited me.

The Healing Powers of Star and Moonlight

The effect on sunlight is well known - both scientifically and intuitively - it wakes us up, energizes us, and brightens our moods.

But less talked about are the benefits of star and moonlight. We tend to be cooped up in our houses at night, sleeping for most of it, so many of us haven't experienced the healing powers of the night.

I was fascinated to read Doreen Virtue's explanation* of the healing powers of star and moonlight, given to her by a group of angels. They say that starlight awakens our higher chakras and opens the mind prior to sleep. "This allows our dreamtime travels to reach even higher and farther into the astral plane." It also helps the unconscious to solve problems and create new ideas during our sleep. In essence - starlight allows for a more profound and restorative sleep.

Not surprisingly, the moon also has magical effects on our systems. Each phase of the moon has different effects, however all moonlight helps us to awaken our psychic and intuitive abilities, while bringing any lingering doubts or hidden fears to the surface, and clearing us of these psychic debris.

Obviously, the most effective way to gain the benefits of star and moonlight is to get outside at night. However with light pollution, crisp air, and the allure of a comfortable, well-lit home, this isn't always the most accessible option.

If you can't get outside at night as often as you'd like, try placing Pink Green Mica, Moonstone, or any other crystals you may have outside over night. Place them under you pillow the next night, or let them infuse your water or tea before bed. You can also visualize the stars and the moon shining upon you as you're falling asleep. Ask the energy of the night sky to continuously bless you as you drift off.

Archangel Michael Delivers Proof He's Real

Sometimes this whole angel, fairy, energy, goddess realm can seem kind of far out. Far out to others, yes, but sometimes, far out to even ourselves. When I first learned about energy magic, the power of intention, and the law of attraction, I was beyond excited. I'd wake up in the morning and have to remind myself that it was all real - magic existed, my chakras were alive and well, and I had angels around me. I'd then get super duper excited and think "This is SO AWESOME!"

While I no longer have to remind myself that magic is real every morning, I do always love a faith booster - that is, tangible proof that shows up in our external reality. Proof of what? Proof that my angels are real, that the law of attraction works, or even that energy medicine really does heal.

My desktop screen: What I saw after my computer came back to life!

I had an epic faith booster yesterday, when I went to turn my computer on. I've been away for a couple of weeks, and didn't bring my computer on the trip, so it sat dormant in my laundry room in a drawer while I was gone. When I tried to start it, the keyboard lit up, but not the screen. This happened over and over again, until I decided I would just have to take into Mac to see what was up. Praying nothing was wrong, I packed the computer up as I was about to head out.

I then had a flash of insight upon remembering something my mother recently told me. She said that when your light is bright, there are certain forces in this world who would love to mess with your flow. Why? Because they feel comfy cozy in the darkness of fear, and you shining your light so bright is going to kill them. My laundry room has some funky vibes in it, and my computer is one of my main tools for sharing light, so I put 2 and 2 together and asked "Archangel Michael, please remove any unwanted energies from within or around my computer and send them into the love and light. Please remove and energies who have tried to manipulate this computer. Thankyou"

I tried again. It boots up. No problem. There was my lovely orca desktop picture.

Faith boosters. Gotta love 'em. (Thanks Michael!)

Fairies - The Real Deal

Fairies are:

a) Mythical creatures with pretty wings and mischievous attitudes
b) Childhood fantasies who brought you gifts as a child in exchange for your teeth
c) Real beings, also known as Nature Angels, who can bring marvellous balance and joy into our lives

10 years ago my answer would have been b)
2 years ago my answer was a)
Today, c) is my undoubted truth. (Thank Goodness! They have helped me in so many ways)

Fairies are Nature Angels whose job is to take care of the environment, and animals, and to help all those who join in their cause. They are playful, easy going, and sensual, yet can have a fiery temper when their home - the earth, and it's children, are not respected.

Although many people believe in Angels, work about fairies and their friends still sits upon 'mythical' sections in bookstores. Fairies, however, are real, they simply live in a different dimension that us - one that is partly physical and partly spiritual in nature. They're constantly reaching out to us as, as they need our help as much as we need theirs. You see, the fairies' power is being destroyed as we pour more and more pesticides over the earth, cut our grass to snubs, and roll an ever increasing amount of pavement onto top soil. The wild places are the homes of the fairies, and without them, they cannot survive.

So, as we come to an energetic fork in the road, we must choose - are we willing to believe in what society has deemed crazy? Are we willing to look into our hearts for the truth? Or shall we move robotically with the crowd, as more and more of our magic is stripped away from us everyday?

Let this be our call to action. May we find a window of opportunity to spend time in nature, and ask the fairies if they in fact, do exist. Ask them to send you signs - real, tangible signs, in the physical realm which you can easily interpret. The fairies have given me the following signs for you to look for - be especially mindful if they show up out of the blue, or over and over again. Signs from the spirit world are decidedly subtle.

Squirrels, Rainbows, Bells, Dragonflies, the Numbers 222 Flowers in Bloom, Wings, Rose Quartz and/or any other signs that you personally identify with fairies.

As you receive these wonderful messages, I will be writing more posts on how you too can easily interact and benefit from their balancing, joyous energy.

With love and gratitude. xx

Eat Your Way to a Divine Life

I've always known that exercise and eating right were a guide to physical health. Still, I resisted physical movement for much of my life. It wasn't until recently that this all changed, as I began to understand the real effects of taking care of my body.

Green Smoothies are easy, incredibly energizing, and super customizable!

Organic Coconut Milk, Water, and Chia Seeds with Watermelon - A fantastic way to start the day!

The truth is, movement and healthy eating aren't just keys to physical health, but to emotional, mental, and spiritual health as well. Here's why:

• Exercise releases stored stress in the body. Worrying, guilt, and fear based thinking often work their way into our muscles. Once this happens, the only way to release the stored toxins is through movement. When we exercise, we're literally releasing negativity - and unblocking energetic pathways in the body. 
• Healthy eating keeps our bodies clear, light, and happy. Healthy eating doesn't mean looking at nutritional charts, and adopting a one size fits all plan - it means listening intuitively to your body - what does it want to eat? (Hint: It's probably not ice cream, that's your mind at play) If you can't quite hear it yet, that's ok! Start with fresh organic veggies and fruit, and light sources of protein, such as nuts, chia seeds, tempeh, mung beans, and sustainably sourced fish. Eat raw meals as much as possible. When you need a sweet treat, try dates, coconut 'milk'shakes, or raw macaroons.

When we keep our physical channels clear, magical things happen. Our subconscious is no longer tied up paying attention to the discomfort in our bodies. It can now hear the subtle vibrations of our intuitive guidance, and our angels. We can clearly receive divine communication that will lead us to our ultimate lives. 

Do You Believe In Angels? (I Do)

Angels are a huge part of my life, and they will take you to new levels of existence if you're ready for them. Learn more about them in the vlog below!
