 We live in exceedingly wild times. Times that are testing the very fabric of our biological humanity, and of our precious human heart intelligence in all areas. Times that require immense personal courage; integrity; faith and an internal heart connectedness that enables one to navigate life with a clear conscience, and with the clarity of a sharpened personal sword of truth. We are a collective human race in a rolling high trauma stress response that is being continually triggered by external forces, and events. There are forces which I believe to be malevolently intended – mostly - to induce fear in the general populace. It is evident that we are living in increasingly complicated times. Times that are far beyond anything we have known in terms of the rate of change, and of the potential vast manipulation of the human race and genome. I also sense that there are many other layers interweaving here, along with the possible additional replications of old power loop patterns from Atlantean times, and beyond. We are seeing now that the last few years have undoubtedly impacted the collective soul of humanity in ways that we are only beginning to bear witness to. The colossal damage that has, and is still occurring through hypnotically fed narratives in our media and the widespread fear propaganda is unprecedented. This needs deep presence and acknowledgement in terms of the harm that these false narratives are causing on all sides. It is clear that this is only the beginning of more seasons of fear triggers on a global scale that will be created to induce more of the same. This is nothing new. We are living in a world where dark and light are constantly in dialogue with one another. In these times it appears that this dialogue has become intensified and strategically coordinated with laser intent to create real harm to the human collective as a species. I recall my own awakening from the illusion of 3D reality in 2005 in the midst of the London bombings throughout the transport system. The level of panic and fear that was induced by this event broke/opened something in me simultaneously. I inherently knew that all was not as it seemed with the narrative that was being fed around the origination of this event. I witnessed first-hand the horrific backlash towards the immigrant communities in the East London area where I was living in the aftermath of this event. It was heartbreaking to see innocent people targeted because of race and the fear that was stirred up through false media narratives. As an Irish person, this was a daily reality in London in my early days living there when I had a few experiences of this race categorization and backlash due to bombings in previous times that were attributed to the Irish freedom movements. I inherently knew that I had to pursue the inner enquiry towards self -understanding and inner truth that would help me to stand centred in myself regardless of the distortions fed through the lens of a reality being sold, at any moment, through the mainstream. To know myself and to seek a higher truth became my orientation from that point on. Once you see through the illusion and distortions that are fed to us as “reality”, you cannot unsee. We are now seeing unprecedentedly high suicide rates and sudden death syndrome occurring across all people and countries. All of which seem to be hidden cleverly from mass view through the subliminal programmes of mass distraction that are inherent within this distortional matrix. People are not really talking about it for fear of being labelled as “this, or that”. It is heartbreaking honestly and I question the heart of humanity in those who cannot give presence to these truths. I personally believe that the root of distortion is so deep and multi-faceted that it successfully plays upon any weakness in the emotional and mental body of an individual. The chaos of the C-pandemic was such a viciously orchestrated, and inhumane experiment to pitch us against each other in a spiritual war of right and wrong. The damage is widespread in the emotional body of collective humanity. There are many who continue to bury their heads in the sands of illusion, continuing to cast fingers and categorize others with labels akin to a witch hunt born out of their own fear. Many want to pretend and to forget how they treated their brothers and sisters who may have made different choices now that it seems we are on the other side of “all of that”. These are people who judged, punished and pointed fingers at those who chose personal bodily health freedom. Many seem to have just carried on with complacent blinkers on intent to disregard any evidence that they could have been incorrect in their assumptions and choices. Those of us who decided our own fate are left with an aching hole of grief and complex PTSD in the aftermath of being cast as the other. Many of us held love and compassion even in the face of adversity; deep segregation programmes and toxic judgement. It was not easy and to be honest it almost broke me personally to experience the extent of this horrific agenda. It is only in recent months that my own consciousness has been unravelling the deep layers of grief, and if I am honest - contempt at the utter lack of backbone in some of my fellow humans through these times. The mass dissociation that is occurring is so heavy on the heart to witness. Despite all of this, I see the pure heart of humanity that still thrives. I am in awe of the capacity for forgiveness that we each possess, and of the incredible power of resilience that the human heart is capable of to rise above adversity. I find comfort in the amazing people who are finding each other now and stoking the fires of community that nurture and support one another in all ways to rise in these time. Three remedies for the loss of soul in oneself & in humanity?

 Credit Image: New Art Spirit - Obstruction Pass, Orcas Island, Washington 2016 Freedom of speech, personal sovereignty and free will are inherent human rights. To be free to question and to explore in order to find your personal inner truth, free of external manipulation is critical to well being. What happens to the human heart when these source given rights are handed over, or taken away from us? What happens if we comply to certain societal rules in order to keep the peace with those we love or society in general? Rules that may morally and inwardly cause a fracture within one's soul. We can feel powerless when we do not honour our inner voice. This may lead to an internalised depression energy and suppression of our innate life force. Ultimately causing effects in all areas of our being, and our lives. Why is it that we as a collective give these rights away so freely, time and again, to these external authorities we "deem" to have our best interests at heart? If we dive deeper, we may observe that these very same authorities we give our power to may not be invested in our higher interest at all, but in establishing variations of control, manipulation and corruption of these same rights in order to fulfil their own agendas. These external authorities can often reflect our own ability to stand in our own truth and inner authority. Working on these dynamics internally may assist us in accessing our inner wisdom and the refinement of our core value systems. We are now living in a time that many of us may never have ever conceived. The levels of cognitive dissonance in many is vast, as many simply seek to find ways to survive in the chaos of the unknown. It is clearly apparent that in these highly contentious times, any expression of personal truth is open to attack if it does not tow the line with the consensus narrative. Tantrums and madness prevail across social media discourses, which is ultimately dimming the light of true balanced wisdom from being expressed and received. We are experiencing collective trauma and frequency bombardment on epidemic levels. Censorship is also alive and well. Social media portals and regulating authorities are continuing to block topics, with certain contentious explorations, from even being discussed and brought to the attention of the public under the guide of "conspir**y theory". This censorship feels archaic and is only adding fuel to the fire in resistance movements, whilst also suppressing true ancient wisdom that could genuinely assist. Our right to choose and our right to discern the information we each personally engage with is being controlled. I do not personally subscribe to that. I believe that it is our individual right to be able to investigate all sides of an issue in order to make an informed inner decision about what is right for us individually and societally. I believe we should each have a choice in being able to source and disseminate information in order to come to a balanced viewpoint about a subject. These times are speaking to my soul deeply with regards to the potential perpetuation of ancient atrocities of persecution of those who speak or think differently to the general populace. I also believe that these ancient wounds of the psyche are being manipulated to coerce the collective into mass compliance towards questionable agendas. Let us not forget how we - humanity - have, through the ages, persecuted many wise ones; oracles & mystics who have held the remedies and words that were the keys to heal and not harm. We are still casting stones and sending to the stake energetically (and physically still in some places) the very ones who may just be speaking certain truths we are not prepared to hear. Please, this is a tired old storyline that goes back into many ancient past & current timelines of persecution (Atlantis fallout; witch trials; race wars and much more through to the current day). We are looping ancient trauma wounds that we collectively should have learned better from. Yet, here we are. Modern times of worshipping "advanced science". Science that disregards the ancient holistic sciences and the documented plant wisdom of the past as "woo woo". Here in Ireland, the ancient celt physicians consulted the stars in order to prescribe the medicine for their people in alignment with planetary configurations and constitutional elements. I feel we are grossly missing the point if we are not mediating the medicine of all this wisdom. Thankfully so many now have the cellular remembrance of the ancient ways encoded into their DNA, hence why protecting that remembrance is of paramount importance I feel. We need both ancient ways and evolving science, working in harmony together for the greater well-being of humanity and this planet. The balance of polarities. We have all participated in these storylines at various times, consciously or unconsciously, and I am personally sorry for any hurt I may have caused in that regard through my own judgements or blindspots. The perpetrator/victim dynamics are damaging to us all and are begging to be healed to complete this stories long loop. I support and believe everyone has a right to speak their truth freely. It is up to the receiver to discern what is truth for them. Discernment is the key here with all of what we ingest from outside sources. Each one of us has an inner blade/sword of truth that can cut through the false information matrix to reveal what is true in our individual perception of chosen reality. I know many that are awake and aware of various potential collective agendas for many years now who have been taking active steps to become as sovereign as possible in their lives by undertaking the necessary inner & outer work to unhook from the external as source of power, to the internal intuitive heart as primary authority source. Cultivating and trusting your inner personal power source, along with your heart's intuitive knowing is a superpower that is urgently required now. This helps to build holistic resilience of body, mind and spirit. It's also a pivotal time to attend to the inner process of unhooking from external authorities energetically and mind programs that contribute to personal power loss. This process can look like many things.
It also involves a mindset shift of how to practically live life in a more sustainable and self-sufficient way that is less reliant upon external power structures that are not invested in the thriving of humanity, e.g community food gardens, sharing economy, community skill exchanges etc. And here we are, at a time when the whole of humanity is called to the round table to reassess on a collective level akin to the great turning points many ancients have spoken to through the ages. This is our opportunity to reconstruct our world now in ways that support the many in thriving and not the few. We will all find our unique timing in how we contribute to this great rebuild. Some of us are architects and vision seeders; others are master stone masons with the skill to anchor solid form and others are the project managers specifically coded with tools to guide the build through to successful completion. All of us are needed. Please remember that, especially in those times of self-doubt or when fear arises about how and what is next. Faith. Practice and encourage faith to grow strong within your heart. Faith in yourself and your soul's journey to this point regardless of what life looks like for you right now. There is no doubt that heart of humanity is waking up in the most wondrous ways even amidst this crisis. The shockwave of this crisis has cracked the etheric shields over the heart and penetrated into the sacred heart which holds the book of truth for each being. Keeping your psychic & energetic field clear now has never been more necessary. Learning how to incorporate daily energy cleansing practices is very important, especially now. We are in the midst of the greatest rebirth of humanity - FOCUS & INTENTION is required. There has been great work undertaken by a huge tribe of sovereign souls across the world in all areas of life from sustainability; organic agriculture; holistic social innovations and movements that are invested in community centred heart based holistic societal living structures. We cannot drop the ball now. There is no doubt that this virus is real and effecting many. There is no doubt that the grief of losing loved ones is very real and deeply heartbreaking for so many. The grief of a mass letting go of life before this global situation and the fear of the unknown of what meets us next is vast. There is also an undercurrent of incongruence that whispers through these great winds of change - nothing is as it seems. Yet, everything is possible. This is where building personal sovereignty, faith and forward visioning skills are being called into action. How you act, think and react matters. How you govern your inner being and thoughts now in this great shift of ages is imperative. It reverberates outward into the collective energetic field influencing those around you in ways that can and will make a difference, both positively and negatively, hence why becoming a pristine steward and knower of your heart’s truth is the one of greatest gifts that can be forged from the fires of this challenging alchemical time. Forge well, my friends. We will co-create better days, I have no doubt. Let's start in the heart. I'll meet you there. With love, Mara Elaine  The death of my father has changed me forever.
This time of year is a potent season of mass human transition. He chose to transition just prior to Halloween/All soul's day and I manifested to spend this 1 year anniversary of his death in an ancient walled city, Evora, in central Portugal (a country which he loved dearly),with a chapel of bones & souls, dedicated to death. It's helped me to bring in new subtle perspectives of my own grief journey that I was struggling to deal with prior to visiting this place. I have been around the death of loved ones all my life, but this initiation has been beyond anything previously experienced in this life. The fabric of me has been torn asunder into a type of chaos that my words will never do justice to the energy or collection of events that have transpired in the wake of this enormous loss. I was propelled into the darkest reservoirs of myself through the shock of this reality this time last year and who am I one year on? I am evolving into a new person on all levels of my being, with a depth of compassion for life/death that I cannot explain in a linear fashion. I am both hard and soft. Deep and open, to the complexities of this human journey. Grief is a taskmaster that holds nothing back. When death finds you or your beloved's, all you can do is let go into it’s all consuming relentless current or you will sink, quick and fast. Sinking may be the medicine you personally need. Let it unfold naturally. Grief is a journey unique to each one of us, so please let no one tell you differently in their need to help you “move on”. I thought I was prepared to meet death head on, having worked in a healing facilitation capacity with others for nearly 10 years now. I smile now at my naive audacity. How could I be prepared for something so unfathomable in actuality? I prayed ceaselessly; I made countless offerings for peaceful transition for him and our family; I had many out of body powerful visions in the lead up to his death and was mentored by an incredible death doula in the US before returning home to his final transition ~ yet all of this due diligence could never have prepared the child heart within me for the enormity of the loss of him. All former versions of me are relatively obsolete now in the aftermath, as the loss of dreams; of allies & lovers; of my child self’s unrealised and unspoken dreams/needs that were not met by him in the ways my heart called for, both consciously and unconsciously. These all vie for my immediate attention now which is a huge self love initiation. As we lose the people in our lives that held the role of an “Authority Figure” or those we loved, our soul is called into a crucial review process of our own incarnation where a whole new template of living is constructed and installed within our psyche. We are called into a new level of self -government, self- parenting and recommitment to life. For me, I have never felt so alone in this world after his death. The death of a parent can also completely disband a family for a time as each individual finds their way within the cauldron of grief. I went deep and in that there was no one who I felt, or allowed to meet me in that space. I became totally disillusioned in humanity for a time in the direct aftermath. Only in that place could I see that I was crossing the divide myself and facing my own mortality of ultimate aloneness in transition from this world to the next. I also followed him home, wanting to ensure he was safe. This was nothing new to me, having been naturally inclined to such mediumship work of passing souls on from a young age, yet never knowing that was what I was doing. I am writing this piece to share my own process of death, life and grief firstly to birth a new time for myself but also to provide perhaps a little support or solace to another in a time that is supremely difficult to connect to anyone or anything that genuinely offers support. Grief can be a time in the absolute wilderness of the soul. In my grief, I let everything go. I had no interest in the things that once fuelled my passions. There was a shutting down and dismantling of everything within me I formally loved. I was put on eternal pause. I could not have foreseen this reaction nor understood the effect loss of this kind would have on me and those closest to me. My ego thought I had it all figured out but it was a spiritual bypassing trick that could not stand up in the raw primal energy of the unpredictable and all-consuming grief that settled within me. I made decisions I perhaps would not have made in a "rational" frame of mind, but I cannot determine the validity of that statement either as this was death and life working through me in tandem with a force I could not control...who was I to attempt to control this eternal flow? It’s been one year and in this year of walking across the death/life divide, I have met the most heart wrenching loneliness. I have a pain in my heart for all the places those I thought were allies could not meet me in my time of need nor could they. Grief is a solo journey. The pain is just as deep for myself and the ways I have tried to run from myself to cope with the intense emotions that come like a tsunami taking me down for days at a time. There are whole months I have written off as I travelled the inner realms of loss. “In some northern European cultures, the season of grieving the loss of someone close was known as a period of living in the ashes. This extended time was an era of descent, a movement into the underworld where the bitter tincture of grief was meant to be churned and metabolized into a medicine for the community. It was a sacred time, a time-out-of-time, in which the primary work was digesting sorrow. We have felt and seen the swirl of ash in the air. We are all being asked to do the sacred work of transmuting loss into wisdom.” I am no stranger to the fires of extreme alchemy. This initiation has been my greatest to date. I hear him constantly in my ear; the way he would say things to me before but now with a higher perspective which is really fun! He has been orchestrating magic in his wake, of alignments that can only be spirit’s doing. I am grateful for the teachings that were sorrowfully imparted through this season of human life despite all the pain. I see the gifts that are blooming in me to help others in similar places. May all those who have lost loved ones find the way home to themselves in perfect time. “Though we need to weep your loss, You dwell in that safe place in our hearts, Where no storm or night or pain can reach you. Your love was like the dawn Brightening over our lives Awakening beneath the dark A further adventure of colour. The sound of your voice Found for us A new music That brightened everything. Whatever you enfolded in your gaze Quickened in the joy of its being; You placed smiles like flowers On the altar of the heart. Your mind always sparkled With wonder at things. Though your days here were brief, Your spirit was live, awake, complete. We look towards each other no longer From the old distance of our names; Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath, As close to us as we are to ourselves. Though we cannot see you with outward eyes, We know our soul's gaze is upon your face, Smiling back at us from within everything To which we bring our best refinement. Let us not look for you only in memory, Where we would grow lonely without you. You would want us to find you in presence, Beside us when beauty brightens, When kindness glows And music echoes eternal tones. When orchids brighten the earth, Darkest winter has turned to spring; May this dark grief flower with hope In every heart that loves you. May you continue to inspire us: To enter each day with a generous heart. To serve the call of courage and love Until we see your beautiful face again In that land where there is no more separation, Where all tears will be wiped from our mind, And where we will never lose you again. “ John O'Donohue  Beware of the wandering seeking ones,
those hungry for the wisdom or gifts of another, The ones who take, but do not give, In order to fill their own inner void. The ones who show up with impressive façades intimating kinship but perhaps the proverbial "wolf in sheep's clothing"? These clever magicians who make the smooth moves to silently usurp another’s life force and knowledge, For their own gain, often masking their own innate pain. These are ones who drink from the inner well of another’s embodied knowledge, yet are disconnected from their own. They talk the talk but do not walk the walk. They are masters of deflection, clever manipulators of illusion and imitators of archetypes they strive to emulate to perfection. They have no respect for the teachers who have walked before them nor a sense of honour in the passing down of lineage wisdom or the gifts imparted through another. Pay attention as to how you feel in the company of those seeking your energy. Is there mutual reciprocity in the exchange? Watch the ones who eagerly court your kinship, Then drop you after they have had their fill of your innocent extension of trusting heart or helping hand. "Watch the taker's in your life, know the boundaries of YOU" It can feel as if they have stolen the silent words encoded within you and twisted them into their own story, that of which they have not lived into within themselves. They are essentially living and thriving on borrowed energy - yours or mine. Watch the “new shining ones” emerging through this time ~ question everyone and everything through the magnifier of the heart to ascertain authenticity. Feel the resonance of who and what is true within you. There are many masters of heart embodied consciousness here at this time and there are other's from another timespace with no honour in their walk, who only like to talk, playing out ancient contracts of inner mass destruction. Above all, KNOW YOU. What you will accept and how you wish to be treated. I have also been sensing, particularly through this rapid fire of an eclipse portal, a multitude of alternate reality templates at work in the collective right now emanating the light. Many are false constructs working through people and places in order to confuse and cause chaos in the heart of those working towards unity in themselves and others. It's not an easy time as we really have to stay awake in the illusion on all levels. Keep close the sacred medicine of your soul & heart's unique unfolding, trusting only those with kind hearts of integrity who show true kinship with a good level of integrated self awareness from the start. Look for that spark of light emanating from the heart of the other, the subtle whisperings of spirit showing you these ones can be true to you. No one is perfect, we are all working through our blindspots, but we also do not have to tolerate interference in our own energy through manipulative self serving tendencies. Release with love the ones who have come to gain but not give in return. Bless them on their way. There are many now with an insatiable thirst for the esoteric mysteries of human/divine origins; All is awakening within the heart of humanity – the full spectrum of all the creational timelines happening at once. This thirst is driving corruption and darkness to activate in the heart’s of many which cleverly disguises itself as light. It is up to each one of us to pay close attention to what is truth within the realities constructing around us and within ourselves each moment. To weed out and rectify these corruptive forces within us, thus deactivating them in our greater realities, our circles and everyday lives. Some are living out past timelines/lifetimes that did not end well (misuse of technologies/ancient wisdom in Atlantean & major planetary epochs of great shift ), where greed and betrayal went hand in hand or where magic was used in ways that caused irreparable damage to the unfolding of time. These are looping until intent and consciousness willingly concludes them. Let us be mindful of these timelines playing out within us, around us and through us so we can take our power back from parasitic forces that seek to gain and sustain from our life force, as an individual and as the human collective. No one has the right to take what is not theirs. As we claim our own innate light, power and wisdom, we close the gap on this type of destructive taking of another's power. It begins and ends with us. We are navigating times like no other! Let the perfect balance of giving and receiving be now in the heart's of one and all. Sacred balance of Yin/Yang and all energies returned to their rightful place. *If you are seeking support, I would be delighted to support you through my one-one remote HeartSpace sessions.

More info here:- Heart blessings, MaRa  Humanity is waking up from a long deep sleep. An induced coma of grand cosmic proportions that which we have been in for thousands of years since the last descent of human consciousness into the depths during the fall time of Atlantis and earlier cataclysmic events that wiped out many advanced higher consciousness civilisations that initially thrived, then ultimately mis-used the advanced technologies they attempted to master and manipulate for gain. We are remembering again that our true power lies within and that we, as a species have been programmed and disempowered through a false light matrix into believing we have none. We have given our power to church’s, priests, guru’s, institutions and inherited beliefs that have kept us locked into a prison of the mind, unable to access or accurately perceive our own connection to source/creation. The jig is up, so to speak. The veils have dropped ~ manipulation, power and abuse is seen for what it is. We are beginning to see clearly the misaligned agendas of those who seek the power and life-force of others, as the secret pockets of their tightly woven gowns of mistruth are coming undone. The human heart is a powerful portal that can discern what is truth from fiction. It has been shut down, wounded and traumatized through the harsh realities of human life and the agendas of those energies that seek to disempower & fragment the human soul/spirit. Yet the heart is resilient and ever present. It is our primary guide in navigating us back home to the true self. A whole movement has been built around the conscious awakening of humanity now. “Spirituality” is the new buzz word. It is a most needed shift, undoubtedly, and one humanity has been waiting for. Many of us have been and are looking for answers about our true origins; wanting to heal our pasts and the limitations that prevent us from living a joyful soul led embodied life of higher purpose. There is an abundance of many different holistic and “spiritual” models out there to help us in this time of quickened evolution; many ancient teachings have been unearthed and dusted off that touch the core of the human/divine connection and new ones are being born from these core spiritual principals all the time. There is great value and insight in some of these spiritual teachings that uphold truth and that can assist us in our deep remembering of who we truly are. However, this is also where personal discernment is VITAL, especially in current times. With such a surge of people awakening, there is inevitably an oppositional wave of energy that wants to keep people suppressed and under the thumb of control hierarchies, often under the guise of those supposedly representing the "light". Question, observe and sit with teachings/teachers in your heart. See how your body responds and reacts…it is a wise reflector of mistruth. Often what you may be believing to be your truth is in fact is a distorted truth that may keep you trapped in the very energy you are attempting to liberate yourself from! I have observed & experienced teachings from self-styled new age “Guru’s” dressed up in new finery that have clearly been misappropriated from other sources claiming to be their own but just repackaged in new jargon. Truth can't be owned and marketed by any one person, it is free for all, and truthfully we all source from the one infinite well. There are no quick or special ways to be enlightened. It takes deep inner alchemy, commitment to self and to life in all it's facets! This way of gaining followers has become so prevalent in the "spiritual" community. It preys upon the vulnerable nature of the newly awakened consciousness seeker. There are many who claim to be unique and that the “true way” or new way to enlightenment or finding yourself is to be found through them. True source consciousness and connection CANNOT be bought or sold through another. It’s is your divine right as a sovereign soul having a human experience to access source energy through your own channel. I have sat with the inner tension I have been feeling the last few years as I observe the now lucrative "spiritual awakening" business model in full swing. Many things do not sit well with my heart. It seems that authentic, heart centered and integrated empowered service is being lost in the competitive marketplace of new ageist marketing technology and enlightenment jargon. Please don’t mistake me, there are many amazing souls offering valuable work in this world from a place of heart and integrity. I have been blessed to meet and co-create with many wise, humble, integrated masters of their own sovereign beingness. It is the less acknowledged underbelly of manipulation that exists within the so called “light” community that I speak of. In transparency, I too have been a part of that movement. I began to wake up out of the illusion of a fear based reality into the conscious embodiment of many of my soul gifts about 10 years ago and some of these gifts have expressed themselves as being a vessel for healing source energy to move through me for others and for the earth at a time of huge transition. In these current times, I am questioning the most authentic way/form to move forward in genuine heart service that is grounded and integrated in true embodied experience when I see so many offerings reflecting at their core greed, manipulation, power and control than true empowerment and heart service to others. Spiritual teachers, leaders and channels who are operating from subtly seductive glossy platforms perfectly crafted to entice vulnerable people into their fields through the use of manipulative energy tactics that would have you believe they are unique and the only way to find yourself is through them and their teachings/offerings. Navigating your spirit and knowing who you are as a whole being; as a soul, is so crucial in these times. There are many corruptive and very real forces out there that work through others, often disguised as “light” which seduce and induct you into a disempowerment program for their own gain. This is part of a “false light matrix” of energy that works through the vulnerability and fear programs of the human psyche to plug in to your energy bodies in an attempt to gain control, separate you from your own sovereign connection to source consciousness and to disempower you. It's a tricky landscape, that's for sure. False light energy beings hide in the background, they are masters of illusion. They find ways to distort light for their own gain. You may be drawn to a teaching or teacher that presents a great outer front and gets you buzzed up and feeling special or unique to begin with, then as time goes on you may find you are tired, depressed and doubting in yourself. *RED FLAG * If you are being told that you can only connect to your true self through a specific process or medicine of another, that is a false construct and consciousness trap. This false light will always find a new way to subtly trick you into its grips if you believe you must give your power to someone else in order to connect with your soul’s true essence! Also, if you are being made to feel less them or belittled as part of a process of "Surrender" or any other manipulative justification technologies, then please pay attention. This is not empowerment nor is it love dressed up as "tough love". Each of us has the free will to experience our life and learn our soul lessons in the way we choose. Some of us have had to learn to discern truth from lies through our interactions with these false light energies. The brighter the light sometimes the more attractive you are to these energies. We are now in a time of really honing our ability to craft our own reality. Of choosing sovereignty over the old paradigm of "Guru/Student" or "Master/Slave" mentality. The more of us who choose to honour self empowerment and honour that in each other, the greater balance that comes into our human journey and thus our world. Both the light and the dark serve and are vital in the journey of the soul. We all have both; it's how we uphold the balance within ourselves and become whole that disables any false light energies from engaging us in any form. Being awake, aware and discerning of our choices is vital now to enable us to stop repeating old cycles of disempowerment and control that have kept humanity on lock down for so long. We hold that power within us. No external power needed, just reclaim it. May you be blessed and supported in pure loving truth through your own navigations of spirit. <3 MaRa  There is a mid-point when you are undergoing a life transforming inner/outer reality shift. That place, which is so immense it can throw you completely into the mercy of divine orchestration and test your faith in your life's path. A tender place, where you look behind you to see the crashed walls of an old way lying in a heap. You may feel incredibly challenged and lost within it all, yet your resilient soul know's how to navigate this spectrum of change even when you do not quite believe it so. Your heart & soul knows there is a higher purpose to this unfoldment. That is if you can trust. This is a dying of an old way; the dying of a person you loved or a way of life you thought was impenetrable and solid. There is no solid ground in transformation. Yet there is the eternal resource of your heart..always ever present. You may have no clue how to proceed. You may be bereft and shell shocked to the core; not knowing which way is up or down depending on the life experience that triggered this unparalleled rewrite of your life. It is the point of no going back. It is the death portal of a resurrection of a new self. A self that your future self knows intimately, but your current self may baulk from and resist. No judgement here. Be whomever you need to be until you are ready to walk through the gates of this new time. Have gentle, loving compassion for YOU. Nourish and nurture that heart connection to yourself.. make it a priority over anything or anyone else. It will be your saving grace. There may be some wobbles or tremors of aftershock from the immediate impact of life re-direction; some fears surfacing of the unknown or inner resistance in the face of this great change. That is a normal human response to a pivotal life shift from an old reality that no longer supports to the new self that is emerging through the rubble of life transformation. All great shifts require faith. Faith in yourself; Faith in your own higher power/self and in your soul’s innate heart guidance. Even when you cannot feel this connection, surrendering your attachment to a certain way or outcome opens the magic doorway to more than you could possibly imagine or conceive in a constricted internal heartspace. Deconstruction is a necessary part of the human experience. Hopefully that deconstruction can happen in an easeful way for you that supports and nourishes you. Sometimes it does not and the process may choose the form of a derailment of your life for a time. This happens to enable the change your soul is calling forth to take shape and ground a new sense of self in the best way for you. It is a great practice to challenge the ways of being we subscribe to and adopt/adapt as our own. Multiple mind programmes exist in our world. Mind programmes of how to be; how to live; what to eat; how to speak; what to believe; how to relate.. etc ~ the list is endless. Knowing yourself is the greatest gift you can give to you! Understanding how to surrender the old self and when to ask for help, if needed, is vital. We came here alone and we leave here alone, but we also have many beautiful allies in the human world and the elemental kingdoms that can assist with these transitional states of human life. It requires a knowing of yourself; your personal needs and your unique heart & soul to determine the right support to nourish you in the moment. Listen carefully and you will always be guided to the best possible resources. ASK for them! Ask and you shall receive..honestly, that's how the universe works... The body and the heart know when something is right for you. Tune in and trust what you receive in your inner awareness. The body does not lie. I have been through many a “dark night of the soul” & death/rebirth experiences in my life. To the depth of my humanity and back. Most recently having the great honour of ushering my father into the afterlife, which has literally changed my life. Death, for me now, has a wholely different perspective. Extremely profound in it’s teachings. It will continue to teach me until my own dying day, I have no doubt. I have also touched upon, even momentarily, the highest state of grace my soul could reach in this human body. Enlivening source consciousness within me feeding me with the awarenesses’ that sculpt my connection to the divine in my everyday life now and always. I am so grateful to be able to experience both polarities so that I can now practice and humbly be a lifelong student of the middle way or middle path. Endeavoring to find my own way to balance...whatever that looks like. As you are deconstructed, you enter an unknown space. A space ripe for potential. A birthing portal of immense power. Even in the messy chaos of deconstruction, a fertile energy of rebirth begins to gestate. Moving you into a new time; a new way. Embrace it all. Love it all. Have gratitude for it all. Welcome the new self that is emerging. “We build a temple, a holy place within us, from the ashes of our former selves” What a gift to be here on earth at this time of epic change. A time of complete upgrade of human consciousness that is unprecedented. I am grateful to still be here. Love and gratitude to my fellow travellers of this life! MaRa Elaine <3  Image Credit: [email protected] “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.” ― Kahlil Gibran I have been reflecting on the nature of suffering in my life; it’s ebbs and flows; it’s profound lessons and gifts; the places it has had me on my knees and in utter surrender to it's teachings. We live in a time now where everything is hyper amplified. Realities are bending and contorting revealing to us the deepest underbelly of human experience and also the highest transcendent peaks of evolutionary cosmic awakening we have ever experienced in these physical bodies. We are simultaneously connected and disconnected from life. There is pain and ecstasy dancing together as polarities bounce from one to the other in erratic waves. Suffering has been no stranger in my life. I remember a deep existential sorrow in me from a young age that was a also side partner with innocent wonder. I felt an incredible overwhelm of the world’s sorrow’s and I had no idea what to do with that energy so I learned to suppress and deny it a voice. I cried easily, often overwhelmed with emotions for no “apparent” reason and only finding relief through my tears. These waves would come and go throughout my life until I began the healer’s path of making the unconscious conscious within myself. I began to understand the roots of of my pain were in my past and also in my empathic connection to the collective heart. These roots dug deep into my childhood and beyond into the multitude of past incarnations I began to viscerally recall and re-experience the energy of. I saw that suffering was so ingrained in my cellular structure and energy bodies. I saw it's many hidden faces and knew it would not be easy to eliminate. I was not even sure if I did wish to eliminate suffering; it had become instilled in me as such a major element of my human experience. I noticed that when I resisted life, I suffered more. That in fully embracing the hurt, the anger, the grief or fear I was granted a divine reprieve into a new state of being...that of stillness and of viewing momentarily a higher meaning. Sometimes this connection to a higher source would last longer than the moment, for many weeks/months at a time. I slowly began to cognize that the pain I experienced represented a gateway to a reality far beyond the one I physically existed in.  There is a secret wisdom, a hidden doorway in the womb of our dark places. This wisdom holds a promise of new life and of unknown bounties that can only be accessed and utilized in the complete meeting of our suffering. Suffering for suffering’s sake can be a destructive force (e.g. victim consciousness). This damaging loop can keep you hooked into the ulcerated psyche of humanity with no will to bridge across to a more healed and whole reality. I have definitely experienced this at times both on a personal and collective level. There are groups and nations who are imprinted with a legacy of suffering that needs to be acknowledged, healed and released at a soul level. My people of origin, the Irish, have uniquely crafted that embodied suffering into a way of being that is so complex in it’s execution of cynicism, deep empathy, victim and visionary all rolled into one that they have baffled many a psychotherapist! We can often cling to our pain like a friendship we know is toxic but we fear having no friends by letting it go. This ultimately causes more pain similar in attempting to block a running current of energy in full force flow which will relentlessly pound at the wall until it finds a way through. The remedy and the gift of our pain only comes to us with total surrender. It is crucial to question the pain we experience as to it's origin and if it is truly serving a higher purpose or simply keeping us locked in a cycle that serves nothing but the pain itself. On another note,I have come across many misguided notions in our awakening spiritual collectives that point to the idea that if you are still cycling in spaces of suffering or physical pain that you are not as “evolved”. I see great folly in that and I know at certain times I have been unknowingly duped by that mentality myself where I have unconsciously judged others for choices I deemed “unspiritual” or “less evolved” when I was in (what I perceived to be) a higher state of new awareness . I now humbly see a wider truth regarding this perception from pain's incessant raw teachings. Having been through many painful death/rebirth cycles of awakening, I know that I was not seeing the full picture at those times and in fact I was running from more of my own unconscious shadow that just was not ready to be integrated at that time. The truth always sets us free. If one is suffering, the whole world suffers in turn. We are all in this together, remember?! I am a committed student of embodying the higher octaves of my soul into the here and now. This requires radical courage and trusting myself very deeply. Sometimes it's very messy and I wonder if I am going backwards instead of forwards. There are continuous energetic upgrades that come as the soul is ready for them, that must go to the core and clear anything that prevents that higher light finding a home in physicality. That is a unique process for each one of us. Some of us may experience a physical illness that is encoded with teachings to help us unpack the wisdom of this higher light. For other’s it may be an even deeper crisis or initiation into the belly of the whale, where they may lose sight of life for a while until stable footing is regained in the here and now on drier land. Trust that what arises for you is not a punishment, nor does it mean you are not evolving! Your soul is guiding you, trust that. Is there a way through pain? Yes. How and when is a personal path based on your soul's lessons & choices. There is a mastery involved in learning how to work with and embrace suffering in all forms. *Build a strong foundation within you to allow space for the core issues to surface in a safe way is paramount. *Have a meeting place within you and a physical place that is a safe zone to fully feel your pain without fearing complete annihilation is important. Allowance and permission are key, as well as immense compassion for your humanness and the suffering of others. When we can truly go to the shadow depths in ourselves and allow healing , we birth a monumental new template for others to access these places too. *Some may wish to seek the help of a professional spiritual counsellor or psychotherapist that resonates with them if there are deep patterns difficult to access alone. Listen to your soul and reach out if you need that. To feel is to live; to experience the pulse of life running through you lighting up all the unlived spaces within you. * Set up support systems of nourishing, heart centered activities and friendships that help bring perspective and joy into your life. * Limit exposure to media/social media and heavy dense places that are already overloaded with collective pain is a good idea too. * Writing out the pain and allowing it to speak is highly effective (e.g. let the inner child speak to you) * Engaging physical movement like shaking, free flow dancing and toning your emotions are powerful tools that shift energy to allow breakthrough. “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” ― Jalaluddin Rumi As our world appears to be in the clutches of an epidemic of pain body associated reactions, our contribution to make a difference can be the embracing of our inner wounds. We can make suffering our great ally without being ruled by it. Thank your core wounds as they are your creations. Love them back into their rightful place within your endlessly expanding heart space. There is no greater time than right NOW, and each of us is primed with the exact tools we require to meet with suffering, make it our ally and not only survive but to flourish infinitely. If you have come this far, thank you beautiful soul! May your path be graced with the strength, courage and divine support to live wholly and happily.

Details and link below :)  Horses have always held a very precious place in my heart. They have taken me into vast spaces within my being previously unaccessed. Places and times so ancient I do not have 3d languaging for. I go deeply into a sense of awe and wonder when I communicate with them, connecting with a tribal oversoul. My inner child feels soul nourished; my heart uplifted by their beautiful presence. I very much feel part of the tribe or herd.  Since a child, I have been in love with horses. I dreamt of having my own to steward, but that never came into my practical reality living in the city. I had pictures of horses and horsey paraphernalia all over my room as a young teen. I was obsessed! I went to weekly horse riding lessons, but after a jumping fall I became very nervous, thus my riding days slowly faded away to intermittent trail rides over the years. I began to have powerful dreams where I would be running wild with the horses; many times I woke to feel them in my bedroom watching over me. This was my first taste of the animal kingdom as "guides". In my teens and twenties, city life closed the door to the animal kingdom for me. It has only been in the last 8 years, as I awakened more of my natural self, that my connection to the animal's and their sacred wisdom, has been a well source of healing and heart kinship. Learning to open my "sight" and receive the messages from the animal brethren has been a precious remembrance of my indigenous capacities. They have taught me how to trust in the natural world and how to open my heart to bridge across species and kingdoms. They have helped me find my way back to myself. To enter into the timeless flow of elemental life. It was clear that the animals wanted to communicate with me regardless of them being "physically" in my waking world. They wanted me to know they had my back! I have journeyed the inner realms through shamanic rituals, meeting key animal spirit guides who continue to shape and direct my life's experiences. In some of my deepest initiations of soul awakening, I have had key animal archetypes work on my subtle bodies to bring back parts of my soul that had left due to past/present life trauma. There is no divide here between the waking world and the magical. Our animal kin can shape shift into many forms to assist us. We just have to be open to their assistance. The seals and dolphins have been other constant companions on my personal healing journey. I would sit for hours on shorelines, singing to them and communicating telepathically with them on the issues that were surfacing from my unconscious seeking wholeness. They would also come into my dreams with their medicine, going right to the points of disharmony and pain. I experienced miraculous clearing's of old energy the more I actively engaged them through intention and heart gratitude. Tune in the the animals that are in your waking reality. What do they have to say to you? Do you keep seeing the same animal over and over? Go within and ask them to impart their wisdom. Look up the animal totem messages online for that particular animal to see if anything triggers a knowing in you. The bird tribe are fantastic and accurate messengers. There is nothing more majestic and inspiring to me than seeing a great eagle or hawk flying above me. My heart instantly soars to meet the currents of spirit. I know that an important sign has come into my reality and I must pay immediate attention, seeking counsel with source! This is a relationship like any other; one that requires our loving interactive presence. A synergy of hearts. I continue to open and learn from our beloved animal family; visioning for one day still to be a steward of a noble horse ally :) If you feel called to Elemental healing & Working with these archetypes , Connect with MaRa through her offerings : ~ Here is a video on my experiences with the Seals :) Faith has alway been a noble, loving , yet often elusive ally in my life. That is, until I learned through many scuffles with doubt; fear & confusion; how to employ her as a constant companion to co-create my own reality with. She is always there in the back garden of my awareness, even when I think she has packed her bags and left me high and dry!  She has lifted me up and out of some very contracted, fearful places during times of immeasurable doubt that had crippled my forward movement in life. You may know those times yourself? Times when you just do not know what to believe in; where your life is going or the overwhelm from the perceived "doom" of a world in chaos. There have been many times, particularly during the "dark night of the soul" initiations I have experienced, where I could not see the wood from the trees. I felt I would never feel or see the light of her presence in my heart again. Yet somehow a crack would appear in the matrix of my fear & doubt where she would fly in through, like a blaze of precious sunlight after days of incessant stormy conditions. Her medicine would fill the gaps of doubt, illuminating the path of possibility in me. Her arms would hold me until I felt safe to open my eyes to dream again. Faith is a vital friend in the life of a visionary. We are ALL visionaries. We all have the tools of creator magic within us to vision for a life that brings us joy and happiness. It's about engaging these tools in our own unique way to effect the changes we wish to make in our lives or to call in the life we dream of. Faith has our back if we believe:)! She can steady our infant steps as we blaze an unknown path into the heart of our dreams helping to bring them to the landing strip of our reality. Faith noun 1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability. 2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact. 3. belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm faith of the Pilgrims. 4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty. Faith is especially important in these great times of evolutionary change. Many are dealing with heightened fear and confusion relating to "doom's day" scenarios in our illusory world of suffering. And of course, the more we fear the greater the manifestation of that fear occurs in our reality to support that narrative in us! Many are suffering immensely as old stuff that has been buried for eons in the underbelly of the collective consciousness of humanity surfaces for us to face, heal, love and integrate into wholeness. I have deep compassion for each one of us on this human journey right now. I know how challenging it is to be told to "face your fear" and "just have faith" , when you are in the midst of a monumental leap into the darkness. It's almost an unreachable mythical place! However, I have experienced the miraculous occurring in my life when I call upon faith. I may not believe in her in those moments, but there is a hint of something greater than me pulling me towards another reality and that's where the meet point happens. It is then the dance with beloved faith begins. The first steps are always the hardest until it becomes a more fluid, synergist relationship as trust blossoms forth. Faith is the gatekeeper of vision. She shows us the light of our true potential and bolsters our confidence in order to reach higher. Embody deeper and live the life we came here to live. Here are some of the ways I encourage FAITH to come into my life :
May the gifts of Faith light up a path to your soul's true expression & purpose! May a light in the dark be found for all who suffer. May it guide each one of us to a place of living & loving in peace & unity. Within and Without. And so it is.

I have been divinely nudged to write this article, before the onset of increased attention, through the much hyped “Stars Wars VII ~ The Force Awakens” film, about to release worldwide soon. Skellig Michael, a sacred site off the west coast of Ireland, is believed to be prominently featured in some of the scenes. I first heard of the filming on Skellig Michael last summer; I have to admit my heart was conflicted by what felt like possible disrespect on some level, of a very sacred place. I am Irish native going back many generations on both sides of my ancestry. Though I am not currently residing there, I am very connected to the land as this is part of my own planetary mission as an earth grid keeper and energetic steward. I, and many other spiritual pilgrims seeking connection with God/source, have held this ancient island in reverence through the ages and I am passionate about honoring the sanctity of our planet’s holy place & spaces. My heart is compelled to share some of it’s spiritual legacy & history to enable a deeper connection and understanding of the power (force) that in encoded in the land there. Skellig Michael is the larger of two ancient towering majestic sea crags, that are pyramidal in their structure. “Little Skellig”, is the adjacent smaller peak. The islands are situated 12km off the south west coast of Ireland in the wilds of the Atlantic Ocean. Many believe they are mountain peaks from the atlantean era, still carrying the energies of those times both dark & light. It is a natural temple where two intersecting earth leylines cross, creating a node of energy that is very powerful. The island was the chosen home of a small group of ascetic monks back in the 6th – 13th Century, who sought deeper communion with God in isolation from the outside world. The remains of this monastery are still intact; the stone beehive geometric structures are alive with spirit evoking energies imprinted in the stones from these devout hermits. You can definitely imagine the “force awakening” within you here! The islands are designated as a world UNESCO heritage site, so there is a limit to daily visits due to the delicate nature of the archaeology, protected sea birds and plant life. Through many tumultuous journeys there myself, I know it is not an easy task to get there! Often the boats that leave the nearby villages of Portmagee & Valencia in the Iveragh peninsula, Co. Kerry, are challenged in the choppy waters and large swells. It almost seems that the island chooses who it wishes to allow step onto it’s timeless rocky landing. Sometimes they are cancelled altogether when mother nature sings her wild songs. If you are called to go, definitely check in on the weather and surrender to divine flow. When Visiting Skellig Michael: I invite you to tune into this powerful place and ask why you are drawn to it. Here are some tips to prepare for a journey to a sacred site that I find useful:
Skellig Michael is on the western edge of the european landmass. It is the first sacred site along a long line (leyline) of ancient pilgrimage places running from the entry point or pinnacle point of the leyline in Ireland through the UK (Glastonbury, St.Michaels Mount), France, Italy, Greece then onto Mt.Carmel in Israel. This line is known as the “Michael” Leyline through it’s alignment with ArchAngel Michael who the guardian and overseer of this energy line. It was known for thousands of years before the advent of Christianity, and linked many holy places of earth and cosmic power. It was known as the “Atlas Line” in Atlantis; much of the energetics of this ancient leyline are said to have been largely kept in tact by the work of the druids and key grid keepers since the fall of Atlantis. On a planetary level, this island, as a multi-dimensional portal, is pivotal to the integration of the divine masculine codes for humanity’s evolution. The energy that emits from this portal extends in all directions for hundreds of miles. It is a point of cosmic energy and earth merging as one. As such it can be a place of merging the polarities in oneself ~ male/female rebalance. The colour rays that emanate, for those attuned, are the violet, emerald & blue rays. The moment I caught my first glimpse of these spectacular pinnacle points from the land on the Iveragh peninsula, I was mesmerized. The sheer power and sharp angles of these dramatic peaks took my breath away and tuned me into an ancient place within me. I felt compelled to get my feet on that holy ground. It is in the sanctuary of these natural high, spiritual energy places that we can access the inner sanctum of our being and open to more of our divine potential. These physical locations can act as a cosmic trigger to awaken and activate us to the remembrance of who we are and we are here. My first journey was steeped in ancient remembrance every step of the way; these dramatic peaks took my breath away, my inner eye seeing blazes of light of violet and emerald hues on the approach. The boat ride out was an initiation in itself and shook out the cobwebs (literally in feeling sick and nauseous)! I was then taken into a deep silence as I felt my heart and mind merge as one with the landscape. I remembered this place. I felt at home. The consciousness of the whales, dolphins and seals added to a very transcendent experience. George Bernard Shaw, a famous Irish playwright, described Skellig as “incredible, impossible, mad place” and as “part of our dream world”. I definitely concur on all of those descriptions. The stone guardians are abundant on the island, with some aptly named by their lifelike appearance. The “Wailing woman” , who sits on the first incline up the nearly 700 stone steps to the top of the crag, drew me into council with her. My energy body receiving the information of the island I needed to navigate it’s spaces with care and gentleness. You then come to “Christ’s saddle”, a flat area between the two peaks; here is another good place to connect in with the spirit of the island. The south peak is closed to visitors due to the steep climb. The north slope above the monastery is where I connected most, bridging the inner and outer of my being, as well as in some of the beehive cells in the monastery, due to the domed beehive geometry lending itself well to divine introspection! There is a vast array of energy available here, through all the seen and unseen. I would simply be open and listen to where you are personally drawn.

It is here I shall conclude, yet there is an infinite well of cosmic story still to be written about this beautiful celestial earth temple. It is my prayer that the forces of light, through all time and space, continue to safeguard this holy place; that all who feel called to visit, come with love and reverent intention, receiving and awakening to their own cosmic connections ~ To their own sacred force of light within! ***It is my passion to connect with sacred sites across the planet and guide others in their planning or soul connections to these places.
