You are Invited to Participate in the 2009 Winter Solstice Fast!

December 2-21, 2009

Goddess Energy Surrounding this Winter Solstice Fast:

Auset


As I grow older I become more aware of cycles. There are cycles to everything: individuals, groups, relationships, life, business, society, consciousness.

That is what these quarterly fasts are all about: Attuning ourselves to the cycles of nature so that we are in life's flow and not moving against it.

I see each season as living breathing energy with its own lessons and wisdom to assist us in our spiritual evolution.

The cycle that we are soon to move into is that of winter. The wisdom of winter teaches us to slow down, take stock of our lives and determine where we need to go next in order to move to our highest and greatest good.

This is a time of contraction and darkness. It is the time to go into the womb of ourselves to determine what is to be birthed during spring.

Winter Wisdom says, "Be quiet," so that we can determine what needs to be released thereby freeing us to move to even greater levels of manifestation.

Use this cool and dark time to give yourself permission to slow down and rest from all the busy-ness in which you are usually engaged.

The Winter is the season of the Divine Mother also known as Auset, Yemoja, Mother Mary, Lakshmi, Kwan Yin, and Gabri-El


This is the same energy that spoke last year during this time.

This year the emphasis of Auset's message is different. She asks you to consider: Which Goddess are you serving? The One of your Higher Self or your Lower Self?

Another way of asking this question is what dreams and goals are you chasing after? Those set forth in your soul or those set forth by the external world?

I am more and more clear that a key to self-mastery is self-realization. When we know who we are then we are able to operate from a place of power. We operate from choice instead of reacting.

Now the Goddess of your higher self is the one related to your true self, the ESSENCE of who you are which is CONSCIOUSNESS.

The Goddess of your lower self is very much a construct of the physical reality.

And what I now know is that it is basically a waste of time to focus on the outer world for the foundation of the physical world is CONSCIOUSNESS. The physical world is a result of that which is not seen.

This is true for your identity. We are consciousness in soul form. We are not our bodies. Our bodies are a level of who we are but they are not the totality of who we are.

So during this fast you are being given an opportunity to learn more about who you and where you are investing your attention by asking which Goddess you are serving.


Auset is also the same energy as the ArchAngel Gabrielle. Gabrielle asks that during this time you nurture children.

Go play with children. Spend time doing activities with the children in your life. Serve children in your community in a loving way.

As you do so you will begin to nurture your own inner child.

It is through our inner child that we will master ourselves.

It is our inner child that allows us to be resilient, to believe in our dreams when no one else does, to embrace the magic and mystery that is ever present that is forgotten by so many of us.


Use this time to Journal. Write, write and write some more. Process your emotions. Process you thoughts. Process your life.

  • What needs to be released?
  • Where do you need to take a leap of faith not caring where you land?
  • When are you going to stop being so cold and calculated in your life?
  • When are you going to stop trying to control everything and everybody?
  • RELAX...is what Auset says.

    Go to the water. Allow yourself to re-enter the Cosmic womb so that you can gestate the new you and be re-birthed at Spring of your life.

    Go to the water. Take water aerobics. Visit the Ocean. Walk by the River. Sit at the lake.

    REEEEEEEELAAAAAX!

    It is in living in a relaxed manner that you will see that there is no need for control.

    There is only a need for allowing yourself to hear the voice of the Divine within your spirit.

    When you are relaxed you are able to be open to receive that which you desire...love, peace, joy, harmony, happiness, abundance in all areas.

    REEEEEELAAAAAAX!

    BREATHE.....

    Do Yoga.....


    The memory...this is the domain of Auset.

    It is your memory that is causing you the most issues. Most of us are remembering the past and all that went wrong.

    This is why there are so many control freaks in the world. People remember their past hurts and pains and now they have to do everything they can to make sure that they never get hurt again.

    Instead, use your memory to remember WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

    When you know who you really are, the past will look very different. You will realize that we are all here to have experience but that the experience is not what is most real...it is our true self, it is the Divine that is most real.

    And then we know that though in the physical we experienced some bad situations, our SOUL was never touched.

    Do forgiveness work. Release that which keeps you in bondage. Step into your freedom! Trust your own Self. Trust the unknown.


    It is interesting that we are beginning the Solstice Season at the Full Moon. Auset is the energy of the Full Moon. The full moon is a time to reap the harvest of the seeds planted at the new moon.

    Embrace this energy of harvest and then go deeply into your inner cave and get quiet and start releasing that which no longer serves you.

    Go deeply into the recesses of your soul and begin to plant the seeds of intention that you would like to see made manifest in this upcoming year.

    Plant them with no doubt. Plant them knowing that you will trust each foot step lit before you will take you to the harvest that you seek to reap in 2010.

    Auset is the energy of Universal Love for Humanity. LOVE YOUR FELLOW WOMAN and MAN. Love children.

    Seek to sow seeds of love in your work. Sow seeds of love in your mind. Sow seeds of love in your heart. Sow seeds of love in your being.

    Seek to reap the harvest of love that the Great Mother has for you always and forever. Know yourself as this love.

    I invite you to go into the quite space called the Winter Solstice Fast and Love you.

    Food grows a body but love grows a soul. Grow your soul during this time.


    This is a wholistic fast meaning that you are encouraged to address the three levels of yourself: Body, Mind (emotions), Spirit.

    How will you address each of these aspects of yourself in your fast? As usual, I encourage a cleanser to purify your body. Food fasts are to be structured by you.

    If you are interested in receiving divination for clarity regardingthe upcoming year or season, I am offering my services as a diviner. I am offer you Your Personal Reading for 2010
