The World of Fashion

I have so many worlds. Spirituality is one. As that has balanced out and the seemingly apparent " Ascension" has transformed each and every one of us. I can now relax and focus on fashion. SO I started a brand new blog on FAshion Moving Forward. One of the places it is definitely moving forward is Mumbai, India and Lahore, Pakistan. Lahore, Pakistan is slowly accumulating popularity as a home-fashion mecca. The sheer architecture and interior design is breathtaking and moving in a very progressive fashion. I intend to travel to Lahore in the next three months and reports on this huge fashion and interior design movement. My present blog is now: http://fashionmeetsfuture.blogspot.com/ Thank you all for taking this incredible spiritual journey with me through the last three years and we are all completely transformational beings living on this planet! Holla!

"Eclipsa-tion"

"Eclipsa-tion"- (sareenapedia) - def. the process of going through three huge eclipses in a row and surviving intact with changes throughout.

That is my definition for "eclipsation". This has been one of the more challenging three eclipses in a row. So let me tell you a story. The "fun" began on April 12th. On April 12, Pluto went retrograde. We felt this deep internal energy shift. On April 14th, the Boston Marathon was bombed. Slowly, work and money steadily got tighter. My disbelief was growing. I didn't hit a panic button or anything. We all have an internal mechanism of how this "stuff" works and so, I knew progress was either delayed or halted. On top of this then comes along the Aries 25th-partial lunar eclipse. My phone virtually stopped ringing. I had significant cancellations Then somewhere around April 28th, I knew this is not right. After pondering all sorts of "unblocking" actions, I finally realized a path to help me recover. The process is called SURRENDER. When shit is not working on any level, one just basically stops and considers. "Ok why is this happening? Is there a reason? What am I learning?" I stopped and became quiet. After that, I survived the next event- the May 10th Solar eclipse. My mind was still entrenched in financial matters and career. It was an unspoken rule we has around our home that we would not longer discuss eclipses:). So, in matters of home, we both agreed that something really "off" was occurring. Finally, May 25- the Gemini Lunar eclipse occurs. It is May 25th, and the amount of spiritual work done is huge. So, my friend and I decide- "Yep, this is the big one- Sagittarius." And, if by magick, the Earth starts opening up and breathes. She breathes her deep sigh and says, "Yes. I will work with your earthlings. I will help you. Natural cycles and magick are all in occurence once more. I salute you for your efforts and what you have learned. I love you." So, at this moment, we breathe. The floodgates of right action and sanity operate once more. No resistance. Just love and ambition. Gaia-thank you.

What really happened-
Through the process of 3 eclipses, the Earth became a "no magick" zone for practitioners. Call it law of attraction, magic, luck, timing or whatever- you were blocked. At this level, we were taught a lesson to rely on the process of surrender. Flow and ebb. Flow and ebb. This doesn't work so well in New York City, where you are accustomed to having what you want at any time. I would describe the last six weeks as a test of faith and perseverance. If this didn't happen to you, get ready. The energy of eclipses have a habit of sticking around for up to six months until you learn the lesson. Congratulations on your graduation if you stuck it out and got it!!!!  And yay!!

Ascension Delayed??

Well, I should start this post by saying during the 12/21/12 solstice I felt a huge amount of energy shift. It was actually the 22nd and I had a day off from my regular 6 day-a week schedule. I was already anticipating an amazing transition and I had a dream passage which was beautiful. Since then, January, february and March have been great. i have been led in the right directions. Some astrology and ascension theorists say that we were somewhat delayed until the finishing of the ascension, which would be this March Equinox.  I would have to disagree. It really depends on how much work you have done and how ready you are to undertake 5D consciousness. I have had no lull in my schedule or void phases. I haven't had any "ascension" symptoms at all. But then I also juice, exercise every day and had my "basic training" all year last year. The only thing I feel is different is that there is greater clarity and discernment regarding spiritual matters now. If it doesn't feel right to you, it usually isn't. If you have passed the date 12/21/12 on this calendar and you were here on Planet Earth, the you experienced "something". Period. End.

For now, I sit and acknowledge, validate and support all the physical processing and the Blank Slate in terms of gaining clFor now, I sit and acknowledge, validate and support all the physical processing and the Blank Slate in terms of gaining clarity of purpose. Ever trusting, trusting, trusting and knowing, knowing, knowing that all is unfolding exactly as it needs to. If I listened to my head, I’d be very busy making many plans. However, if I listen

HAppy Full Moon LAdies and Gents

Hang on to your hats! Man.. this is the Party Moon and everybody knows I love the party!!! According to Dipali Desai on www.celestialspaceastrology.com , "

“It’s as if you are battling an ancient pattern within yourself that you know you have wrestled with before many times over, or many lifetimes over. Isn’t it time to courageously face it? Trust yourself to do what is healthy and loving. There may be a lot of deep feelings running underneath that must be acknowledged. Drama verges on melodrama with the building up of emotions under the Full Moon in Leo. “

“One may want to ponder and address where the lack, limitation and restraint out of fear is showing up when it comes to love or expressing yourself authentically.”

“There is a sparkly potential to this Full Moon in Leo, that is one you find the extreme stuck spot or a few when it comes to love, emotions or self-expression, there is potential for an unexpected twist to unleash creative energy to freely flow. You have to be a bit innovative and creative rather than fixating on the old way for the unleashing of the energy and joy to happen"

You've done the work!!! NOW Party! Feel your heart grow in the Leo full Moon and go out dancing:)!!!

Finally, a message from Mother Amma.

"Women, break your shackles and awaken"
By Mata Amritanandamayi

Amma wishes to express her deep sorrow about the recent trend of men in our country to trample women underfoot as pleasure-giving objects, with no consideration of human values. Is this country that taught unique and divine thoughts such as worshipping God as Mother, seeing God Consciousness in everything and showing tolerance to the world, now becoming a land of asuric, demonic minds? The latest atrocity was the most brutal physical and emotional abuse that a young girl in Delhi had to go through, which finally claimed her life.

No one can question the reality of motherhood—that man is created from woman. Yet those who refuse to come out of the cocoon of their narrow minds will never be able to comprehend this—you cannot explain light to those who only know darkness.

Who should awaken woman? What obstructs her awakening? The truth is that no external power can possibly obstruct woman or her innate qualities of motherhood—qualities such as love, empathy and patience. It is she—she alone—who has to awaken herself. A woman’s mind is the only real barrier that prevents this from happening.

The rules and superstitious beliefs that degrade women, continue to prevail in most countries. The primitive customs invented by men to exploit and subjugate women remain alive to this day. Women and their minds have become entangled in the cobweb of those customs.

An elephant can uproot huge trees with its trunk. When an elephant living in captivity is still a calf, it is tethered to a tree with a strong rope. The calf elephant tries with all its might to break the rope. When its efforts prove futile, it finally gives up. Later, when the same elephant is fully grown, it can be tethered to any small tree with a thin rope. It could easily free itself by uprooting the tree or breaking the rope. But because its mind has been conditioned by its prior experiences, it does not make the slightest attempt to break free.

This is what is happening to women. The infinite potential inherent in man and woman is the same. If women really want to, they can easily break the shackles of the rules and conditioning that society has imposed on them.

A woman’s greatest strength lies in her innate motherhood, in her creative, life-giving power. This power can help women bring about a far more significant change in society than men can ever accomplish. In today’s world, where everything is being contaminated and made unnatural, women should take extra care that her qualities of motherhood—her essential nature as a woman—don’t become contaminated and distorted. Yet, whether woman or man, one’s real humanity comes to light only when the feminine and masculine qualities within one are balanced.

India has had such a great legacy of women who have contributed to all spheres of development in society; may it be warriors, teachers, spiritual luminaries, musicians or social workers. Though not acknowledged enough in our history books or in the social media, their contribution has been prolific. This legacy has to continue and grow with time.

The forthcoming age should be dedicated to awakening universal motherhood. Women everywhere have to actualise the qualities of motherhood within themselves. This is the only way to realise our dream of peace and harmony. And it can be done! It is entirely up to us. Let us remember that real leadership is not to dominate or to control, but to serve others with love and compassion, and to inspire women and men alike through the example of our lives.

Let us all pray that cruel minds, which denigrate women, be transformed. May the Paramatma help them to follow our rich tradition, and respect the women of this country and all other countries.

Congratulations Earthlings!We are finally here. SO for 8(eight minutes) in between midday of December 21, 2012 and December 23, 2012, we will have the most powerful vibrations. And that is time to write down stuff. Revelations about your  life. Deep truths. Visions. Channelings. Poetry. Whatever. You are inspired and wow- "what a great idea" comes into your head. The 22nd is particulary important for all you spiritual peoples and regular folks also. Now, if there is a darkening of the skies on the 23rd or late on the 22nd, do not panic. I repeat - do not panic. It may feel like a void when the earth is very still and in a state of being. Just remember countles smillions on the planet have prepared for this and are ready. Awaken. Awaken. Awaken.

This youtube video feels like the most grounded and authentic version of ascension I've seen and I recommend watching the whole thing.

See ya on the other side of awakened.

Keys to Awakening. It's days before the Ascension. And I have been having some intense moments. This year has been hard enough for me, and everyone else of the planet. They say change is inevitable. But it is also difficult to get used to. This year we had plenty of practice. Plenty. At this moment, I would like to thank all the many people who assisted me this year. I survived and I made it. Two residential moves. A foot accident. Broken friendships. Yep that's a symptom of our evolutionary process. You create friendships. One person continues to grow, the other stands still. You have to expect it.
For those of youwho felt a burst of energy 12/12/12, Congratulations you made it! You are on this planet in the most energetic time of transition and events are happening daily! You are good. You've come this far now and guess what... there are three days before the Mayan calendar is suppposed to end...12/21/12. I actually feel all the energy shift takes place on 12/22/12. Master number 22- Aquarius. Collective Unconscious Evolution.  Just my take.

For those of us who have been exposed to violence, this year- I say a prayer. To those who have seen a huge upheaval in their life situations, I say a prayer. To those who have lost loved and family members, I say a prayer. We are rewriting our inner selves here and the work is not easy. Many of you have shed many tears this year on things that caused suffering. It doesn't take an weekend stay at an ashram to adapt a neutral attitude. It takes months and years of continual meditation, inner work, some therapy, healing modalities, self- reflection. That's what I and the many friends I know have done for the last several years. The qualities we find ourselves finally observing are: compassion, detachment, love, self-love, appreciation, gratitude, being of service to others, empathy, tolerance, patience, etc. We live these qualities everyday now no matter what hat we wear to the outer world. On that note, I must say that no weekend get-away for 12/21/12 is going to make any difference. Those with this meditation or that workshop: you're really fooling yourselves or maybe you actually enjoy drinking the Koolaid. It doesn't make one heck of one percent of anything. Get real. I'll be working on the eve of the Ascension be-cause(hello be cause- do you see those words) that is where Spirit needs me the most. Originally, I did want to go to a party. But quickly, my schedule was shifted. There is no doubt in my mind that Spirit is putting me in the right place at the right time. And guess what, the work is done. No escaping to the South of France for me. Or Ireland for an exclusive meditation. That's a lot of crap. Seriously. I would never want to go into the shift of evolution and the coming year - 2013- with my eyes closed like that. This is why I must thank my spirit guides for allowing the truth to unfold like that. This was a year for discernment. Discerning what is real and what is not. So hopefully, we create our reality everyday now like the "URUS"( brand new term)we are- not GURUS. That time is past folks. Govern yourselves now and watch the sparks fly! Happy Holidays!!!!!!
