Songbirds :)

 Being in a romantic relationship with another human being is different from any other relationships we have. We are each separate entities developing ourselves and exploring different avenues, maybe sometimes the same avenues. But the thing to remember is that we do not "own" or "possess" one another. Many of us have these deep rooted ties to attachment and the feeling of "having" something. Sometimes I will joke with my boyfriend about the cute waitress that appeared to be flirting with him at dinner. Foolishly I say, "You know, if it is what you want, you can leave me for her. The cage door is always open..."   We are like songbirds; Always wanting to be free to have the opportunity to sing our songs. But when the songbird attracts the right mate for him by singing his true song, his partner is for life. Songbirds are monogamous. So in this, the cage door is always open. When a songbird is free, the songbird is found, not lost. 

Coming full circle, the cage is a construct created by man. Birds were never meant to be caged and neither were we. :)

Saturday Night Thoughts

All that's real is your perspective. So don't let anyone tell you what you are experiencing is fake. We live in a multi-dimensional Universe. All that was, is. And all that is, was. 

Mermaid Energy

This is my mermaid spread from today.  In the present position I am informed to "Set Your Sights Higher." I am letting go of the old and allowing the new to move in. I am not settling.  I am reaching for my dreams. I can do anything.  You can do anything. 

Love and light,  

Vanessa

Insight for the day

 Love is the key and my soul is the lock. Within my soul I have everything I could ever need and want.

Aquamarine

Now, I am a sailor. Riding the choppy waves of strife and stress. Bearing through the cold and the rain, the violent winds. The storm dies down, the sun regains its confidence and I am sailing the calm waters of content and happiness. It is warm and radiant here. Sparkling with pure joy. The ocean. What an expansive animal with its dark, green-blue depths, its secrets. Unconsciousness. Only to be navigated by the masters of the sea. I am a mermaid. Gorgeous and fearless. Wild and free. Skilled in  these waters.  My reflection shimmers back at me with the glow of the moon as she whispers words of insight. I am in my element. The sea is mother. The moon is mother. Divine feminine. 

A poem on love

I see you, recognize you.
I know you  
My heart knows you
I honor you, cherish you. 
You are me and I am you.
We have waited such a long time for this.
And the time is now, it is always now.
This, you, me,
This is timeless love.

With the deepest, most sacred essence of my being, I love you.

Happy Anniversary to You

We are repeating patterns of the Universe. We have lived this life already. And our love is timeless. I knew that the day I met you. After knowing you for a few months there was an undeniable, rare and familiar chemistry between us. That knowing explains my desire to be with you for the rest of my life.I'm not crazy or irrational. I know you. I know you because we've been lovers, friends, soul mates for many incarnations. Essentially, we are picking up where we left off in another life.  And there is no logical explanation for this. This is true love. 

Attraction

What you seek is seeking you...

Dear Matthew

I believe everyone in their life will experience this at some point...That undying love. That love that makes your heart swell when you see that person. That love that makes you feel at home just thinking about them even when you could be a 1.000 miles away. It doesn't matter where we've been or where we're going, but I know that I love you. I could be poor and living out of a box in the pouring rain and as long as you were by my side I would feel ecstatic. 

You feel like sweet rain on a summer day and you sound like the warm acoustics of a timeless song. You are my one and only, you are my soul mate, my partner in crime, my fellow teammate, my support system, my therapist, my coach, my teacher. You are everything to me. Changing job locations was the best decision I ever made in my entire life. I am so happy that I met you. I can't thank you enough for changing my life. And I love you most dearly my angel, Matthew Kevin Hartshorn. 

A word on change

Sometimes change is uncomfortable, but necessary.

New Moon today! Plant your seeds, set your intentions! 


Love and light

Ponderosa Pine

These are beautiful Ponderosa Pine located at Mt.Charleston! Their bark smells like a sweet buttercream. Such a treat to experience on my hike. Thank you Nature.

Transcending Ego

You know, it's okay when someone doesn't want to be your friend. That just means they aren't ready. 

About Your Existence

Don't be afraid of you who are. Be afraid of NOT being who you are. 

Enlightenment on Romantic Relationships

This is a topic that I have yet to discuss and it is long overdue...

Many of us approach romantic relationships with the intention of "finding the one" rather than allowing ourselves to recognize our significant other when they come into our lives. Let's think for just a moment about friendships: How many times do you think you've missed out on making a valuable, long-lasting friendship simply because you were unaware? Probably more than you think. And it is most likely the same for romantic relationships. 

Now, another factor to consider is the idea that society puts unrealistic expectations for relationships into our minds. They portray relationships as being "unicorns and rainbows." Which, maybe for the first 6 months to a year, that is how it feels. But after reality sets in, that is simply not the truth. Each relationship will have its challenges. You have your own and so does your partner. Together you bring a dynamic to the table that no two other people will. And that is okay. This is all perfectly normal. In many cases when challenges present themselves, we (the collective) try to impose our logic upon situations to "solve the problem" when in actuality, how is that you can "solve" an irrational force with rational thinking? You simply can't. It's like trying to put gas in a car that is solar powered. Different systems take different solutions.

Love is about being. Love is about surrendering your ego for the greater good of your relationship. And when issues arise in your love life, you can take as much action as you want, but in the end you usually end up just having to ride out wave and be with it. 

Much love and light.

How Does Magic Happen You Ask?

Get out of your head and into your heart, that is where the real magic happens. 

Just Be You

If you do anything today, make sure you give yourself love. And, just be you. 

Empaths and Energetic Vampires

If you've been feeling particularly bogged down or exhausted lately, you may consider the idea that you are an empath. An empath is someone who is sensitive to the energies of other people, in many cases absorbing their energy and believing it is their own. You are usually considered a wonderful friend because you genuinely can feel the emotions of others and usually are able to be very intimate with others regarding their feelings. Being an empath could mean for you that you should be in a healing profession or that you may just be a natural healer. Be wary of energetic vampires. These are people who may, consciously or unconsciously, need to stuck the energy from you to feel sustained. They will take advantage of the fact that you are an empath. You know someone is an energetic vampire when, they leave your home or office and you feel drained, agitated, fearful or any other negative emotion. With awareness of this, you will soon come to the realization that there are notable people in your life that produce this effect upon you. You may wish to practice shielding, an energetic technique to prevent anyone from taking your energy away from you. To do this, close your eyes or just visualize a bright white or violet light beginning in your heart. Allow the light to grow, expanding across your chest, up into your mind, down your arms and down into the rest of your being. The light will now be circumscribing your entire body, enveloping you in a wonderful, protective energy. 

Go with peace in love and light.

Namaste.

Embracing the Shift

Oh I am totally opening up to the tranformational shift that is happening right now. The Sun went direct, highlighting our relationships. Purifying them and expressing their truth. I am thoroughly enjoying it. It feels so cleansing and rejuvenating. Much like rain in a desert. Some of the things popping up are uncomfortable but just being with them is healing. Growth doesn't come from resistance, it comes from embracing change. Ahh. Feeling so refreshed right now. May the Universe and its highest vibrations be with you.

Love and light,

Vanessa

Within

Even in your darkest of days, you are an incredibly beautiful being. So pure, so transcendent. You have a light that shines through you, radiates you. You ARE love and you ARE light. No need to search externally. It is all within you.

Love and light,

Vanessa

Resistance

When you're feeling some serious resistance to any particular issue, move through it, not around it. Inside the storm is where the real transformation takes place.

Rain Vibrations

I'm so in love with the beauty of this world. It is so magical. It's raining again here in Las Vegas and I couldn't be happier. Mmm. Glowing from the inside out. If you can, take a moment to step outside in whatever city, whatever country you are in and just experience nature for all that it is. For just a moment. 

Light and Love,

Vanessa

A word to the wise

This happens more often than not...

It is ignorant to ever think you are too good for something or that you are above something or someone because you have all ready received information on a particular subject before. If that didn't make sense, read it again. Each time you are presented with information you feel you are "well-versed" in, take that as a sign you have not mastered anything yet. In all actuality, this life isn't about mastering, it is about experiencing, so you won't really master anything. Take in information and digest it, make something of it, but don't brush it off with your nose snubbed up as if you think you know everything because you don't. 

Love and light in its highest vibrations 

Part I of Being a Lightworker

Goodmorning everyone! It's beautiful and sunny here in Las Vegas!Now, part of being a lightworker is BEING a lightworker; being light.  I have been on an all raw, all vegan diet. Now, imagine what that means for a moment. This includes only fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables are made from light. So essentially, I AM light, if the saying "You are what you eat" is correct. I feel lighter and brighter physically, mentally and spiritually. It really does wonders for the body and soul. If you haven't all ready tried this, I suggest trying it. 

Love and light,

Vanessa

Namaste

To All the Goddesses Out There

You are a wonderful, beautiful light being. You are radiant, abundant in love; rich in kindness. You are powerfully and mystically sexy. You are a creator, inventor; manifestor. You can achieve all things, be all things. Honor the Goddess within you for above all things you have a wonderful gift; the ability to hold two souls in one body. That is amazing. Celebrate it!

Love and light,

Vanessa

Meditation

Develop a daily practice of tuning out and tuning in. Just practicing being quiet with yourself and following your breathing. Mmm.

Love and light,

Vanessa

Surrender Yourself

When you let the Universe take over and you surrender yourself, obliging to express only love and light, you are rewarded greatly. Let yourself rest and let the Universe give you the abundance you deserve. 

Love and light,

Vanessa

July SuperMoon Forecast!

Here is my take on what is happening in the cosmos: 

This is the third SuperMoon in a row! And, it is in Aquarius! The Sun enters in Leo providing us that performer, star-shining energy. This is the time to allow your creative energies to flow. Aquarius is your dreamer, hopes and desires. Saturn went direct and it is uncovering your limitations. It is balancing your giving and receiving. Embrace this flow of energy. The stars are aligned and t0gether this is the time to vigilantly pursue your dreams and aspirations. If you are feeling anxious about it, that is an indication that you need to get outside your comfort zone. Embrace your natural state. Embrace being receptive to love. Let creative expression flow and flourish. We are in the Age of Aquarius; the age of Enlightenment. You are light. You are love.

So much of my love and gratitude.

Namaste

Full Moon July 22

I am beyond ecstatic! This coming Monday evening, July 22nd marks the Full Moon. Not only is the moon in Aquarius, but the sun is in Leo. This is my time. So much love to all of you. 

Namaste

Ahhh

Allow the abundance of the Universe to pour unto you. Just as a garden flourishes with the storm, so shall you too.

I need some cuddling

Now that the sun has set...

I need a good drive, some music and a smoothie. I'm feeling a little under the weather. I've needed more sleep and alone time lately. Something is happening, as it always is...It's like spiritually I need a blanket and some cuddling. Mmm. Sharing my highest vibrations with you. 

Love and light,

Vanessa

Lemurian Quartz Crystal

Ah! I am so in love with love. Not just romantic love. Yes that too. But so in love with loving the world. 

In recent days I've begun working with my quartz crystal. That is the best thing I ever did for myself. The amount of truth that this Earth holds is astonishing. I took a second look at it and noticed its horizontal striations which are very characteristic of Lemurian crystals. Did a bit of research and came to find out that these crystals were planted for starseeds and lightworkers such as myself! They are known for their aid in dreamwork, intuitive clarity, channeling of higher beings, chakra alignment and universal oneness. It has helped me achieve just that.

love love love,

Vanessa

I'm singing this song for you

These past few weeks have been so influential. I have a deeper connection with myself and nature. This life is always so pleasantly surprising. Always providing just a little bit more when it knows you need it the most.

This message is for you:

I am always here for you. There is no one else that can help you like I do. Follow your intuition and I am there with you. 

I am you. 

You are beautiful, perfect and whole. Allow yourself to access the higher realms through you. You have all the answers that you could possibly need. When you are feeling down or confused, take a moment to step outside for a breath of fresh air. Reconnect with yourself. Reconnect with nature. Take a moment to gaze at the sky in all its wonder. Take a moment to recognize that tree looking at you, wanting your attention, noticing y o u needing i t. Take a moment to listen to the chirping of a bird. Listen to its song, its cadence. Take a moment to notice it singing to y o u. Just like I am singing to you now. Everything around you has a song, a message. Everything has a purpose. You have a purpose. 
Tune into y o u n i v e r s e vibrations. 

Love and light,

Vanessa

It's Raining

The smell of raw, wet Earth. The feel of this soft rain. It's a beautiful and mystical morning here in Las Vegas. I can feel the energy seeping in from the clouds; bringing change, building our potential, rebirth and purification. This storm is the bridge between the Cosmos and our Earth. Symbolically, the bridge between our higher selves and the grounded version of us. Thanking the Universe for this needed cleanse. Feeling these vibrations. Mmm.

Love and light, 

Vanessa

We're in the Shift, NOW

So much is happening right now in the cosmos. First, Mercury is in retrograde. Communication may be misunderstood/misconstrued/delayed/absent because of this. Don't be too surprised if you're feeling a little out of touch with things. PLUS so much creative energy is flowing through the Universe. The time is now to drop away from the mundane, from the things that no longer serve us, inspire us or grow us. Money driven, power or control driven, security driven, "normal" driven forces no longer matter. What really matters is your connection with yourself and the Universe. Your conscious decision to move towards ascension and not away from it. July is here and it is so exciting! Make the most of it. 

Yours in love and light,

Vanessa

Things are changing

This weekend was such an adventure. The drive up the coast was so magical and beautiful, bringing new energy to my life. I was in for a real surprise and treat when I visited an astrologer. He gave me an unplanned, complimentary reading based upon one of those impromptu, intuitive moments. WOW. He reminded me of ME, gave me so much insight, inspiration, affirmation and knowledge. The biggest thing that hit me was my love of the cosmos and how connected I feel to it. I am now considering a career in astrology alongside my career in psychology and I really couldn't be happier. I'm in one of those star-struck moments.Things are aligning and coming together for me. Wow. SO in love and so happy. This just proves that good things happen when you follow your truth wholeheartedly. 

Yours in love and light,

Vanessa

Demystifying 'Namaste'

I feel compelled to speak about this subject largely because in recent years, yoga has become a popular, fad fitness even though its origins are as old as time. And, in many respects has lost a bit of its spirituality.  'Namaste' is not some weird word used only for the yoga gurus but for everyone here on this earth. Actually, if we used Namaste more often and knew what it actually meant, then maybe everyone in our world would fair a bit better. Namaste is a sanskrit word that loosely translates to "I am acknowledging the divine in you that also resides in me" one of my favorite translations. It can also mean "I recognize God within you as he is in me as well" and also "I recognize the God in  you as he is everywhere too" and such. This translation stems from the belief that we are all parts of the whole. As God, The Universe, Source, whatever you call him/her/it is everywhere and in everything, and as we are all part(icipators) in this world, we are also divine. 

So again, when you're sitting in that yoga class and the instructor says 'Namaste', say it back with full intention and full knowing of what it means. I even encourage you to use it outside of yoga. 

Yours in love and light.

Namaste

When you breed love, you receive it too

The Universe gives to those who give freely. Whether you are giving of your money, time, effort, love or all of the above, God returns the favor. This happens when you are coming from a place of utmost love, where there is no room in your heart for expectation, vengeful giving/manipulation and the like. Be patient for everyone has their turn. Yours is coming soon too. 

Yours in love and light.

Namaste.

Summer Solstice and the Supermoon

Summer is here. Take this time to check-in with yourself. How are you feeling? Physically, emotionally and mentally? Reflect on your year thus far. Is your New Year's Resolution still in place and in line with where you are now? With the Summer Solstice, comes new energy. Revitalizing, refreshing and invigorating. This is the time to start a new journey, putting your best foot forward. If you have been feeling sluggish, try revamping your diet. Including lots of fresh fruits and vegetables not only delivers vitamins but provides you with the sunlight to illuminate you from the inside out. Make time for meditation, even if it is only for 10 minutes. Or maybe cycle through some Sun Salutation, as it is most fitting for this occasion. Spend time outside, connecting with nature; breathing in all it's goodness.

This Sunday brings the Supermoon! The moon will be high in the sky and brighter than ever! To balance your sun energy, relax in the polar energy of the moon. Ask your higher self for guidance surrounding an issue that is bothering you. Be open to your natural gifts, allowing them to grow. 

Happy Soul fulfilling!

Namaste

I'm Coming Out

So, lately I have been struggling with my identity. Routinely, I've been asking myself, "Who are you?" "Are you going into the right field? The right graduate school?" And, I'm happy to say that today I am really coming out of the closet. No, not the sexuality closet. I am still straight. But, I am coming out of the spiritual closet. I feel that I choose to conceal most of myself to people in fear of being labeled crazy or whatever. And for the intolerant people, that is okay. They don't need to know my business. But, I have to say it has been difficult for me to be honest about myself with my own friends and family. Coming out to my boyfriend about my claircognizant abilities was the biggest struggle. I think maybe that is a loaded statement; I'll figure it out in hindsight. Nevertheless, he was very accepting of me and low and behold, he still loves me. Ha! How silly of me to think those things. However, I do know that this is a completely natural process and my abilities are completely natural. No shame. So concluding, I am really happy to be writing this. To feel really at peace with myself about my spirituality and my abilities. It feels good.

Projections

Do you ever feel so out-of-place sometimes that you kind of just say to yourself, "Geeze. You're a weird one." Yeah, that's me most days. haha That's okay though. I feel it's liberating to know that there is no one else out there like you and that you're completely unique. And yes, I am aware of the fact I am using "you" statements. This entire post is a projection. 

Simplify

When our minds become cluttered with junk, it makes it quite difficult to function normally. We have this constant dialogue running in our minds about things that need to be done, current riffs in our relationships and the common stressors of bills and such. Take a moment to stop and take a breath. Inhale deeply and exhale slowly. And now, remember to simplify. Get rid of as much emotional and physical clutter as you can. If your bills are stressing you out, do little things to help simplify such as, stop getting Starbucks every morning or nix the spending sprees. Who needs that junk anyway? Let go of old relationships that no longer serve you, grow you or inspire you because if they are not doing one of those things, then they are only weighing you down. In the end, the only thing we as humans really need is the air we breathe. Take time for yourself and to enjoy a deep breath. You are beautiful, you are deserving.

Quit being a fake and let's be real

Part of me feels so compelled to write this and the other part of me is kind of saying "Shh, shh. Don't say anything negative." I think the other side wins.

I am so sickened by much of what I see around me. First, I want to address the imposters. The people who claim to be living a spiritual life. They preach things on subjects such as manifestation of dreams, contributing positivity and living an authentic life. But how is being greedy in line with any of these beliefs? How is it okay to be vindictive and nasty to one another behind eachothers' backs, but then to turn around and to pretend to be something different? This is not okay and never what God intended. 

Secondly, this sheer disrespect is just plain patronizing. As we are on the subject of disrespect, I am shocked by the profuse amount of disrespect humanity has for each other. What are we savages? What we do to eachother is truly disgusting. From war to catty, spiteful verbal attacks, but especially the latter most recently. Stop it and grow up. There has been too much time wasted on this. Actually FAR too much time wasted on this. Imagine the amount of goodness that could be contributed to the world if we actually did what we preached and led this life CONSISTENTLY. 

WE need to make it our duty to band together and work towards a commonly goal. WE need to fight for the righteous doings to annex the malicious ones. If we do not stick up for ourselves, then who will? This is not some crazy, activist-type post. This is a proclamation of truth. Do not wait for politicians to facilitate change or for "activists" to step up to the plate. One person did not build the Great Wall of China and in the same respects, not just one person will build a more progressive tomorrow. This is a collective effort. Let's ditch our old habits and accept the challenge.

Take a look

Maybe you've noticed the prominent behaviors of others recently or maybe you've noticed some of your own. If these behaviors are attention-seeking, grandiose, show-offish, arrogant, selfish or any other self-defeating behavior, recognize that this is the ego carrying out these behaviors. Your job is to recognize them and take to head to what it needs. Breathe in, breathe out and let it go. 

I wonder why?

You know, it is so interesting to me that my best entries come about late into the night. I just thought I'd share that with you. 

Let this be a reminder...

When you wake up in the morning and look yourself in the mirror, what you see in yourself, is what you see in the entire world. If you are dissatisfied with what you see, change it.

When I wake up in the morning and look myself in the mirror, I see creativity, intelligence, wonder, awe and beauty. But above all else, I see h o p e.  

Solar Flares 2013

If you've noticed that you're feeling a little under-the-weather recently, that's okay. It is normal. Solar flares have been sending off energy that are now entering our environment. The product of this is fatigue, restless nights, head colds, sinus congestion and infections. The energy is detoxifying our bodies, expunging all negative energies and toxins. Allow this time to be a healing time for you. If you are in need of rest, then rest. Listen to your body.

 June 8th brings the New Moon and June 21st the first day of Summer!

Risks versus Complacency

What is it going to take for you to truly follow your life path? What sacrifices do you need to make, what actions do you need to put in place to get you there? Is the life you are living authentic to your own beliefs? I feel that much of life is about taking risks. Grand risks. "Why not go out on a limb? Isn't that where the fruit is?" -Frank Scully 

I would be lying if I said that any of this is easy. Being open with yourself is one feat. Admitting to yourself who you really are, and in my case, that a lot of the things you believe and say constitute a whack job, is another. What is the reason for it? Fear. Life is really too short to be anyone but yourself, so why not just become comfortable with y o u now? Why not become comfortable with your situation? And if you really don't like, how about you change it? The risks you will take far outweigh immediate complacency. And in most cases, the risks you took proved to be worth it.

How about that?

Strawberry Pie

My mood right now feels like a sweet summer day. Warm and slightly breezy. You know, like one of those days where you're just sitting on the sand at the beach, listening to some delicate music from far off in the distance, like the gentle strumming of a guitar or a ukulele. It tastes like sweet strawberry pie. Light and decadent, but rich in flavor. I hope I took you there because it feels so dreamy and lovely and I'd love to share a moment like that with you.

Day thinking

Hi. Hello. Good day to you. I am just enjoying this snap shot in time. Laying here peacefully. Relaxing with my own thoughts. Taking time for solitude because today calls for it. 

I was just reflecting on my life... It amazes me how compatible we are. How well we work together, how well we complement each other. How I have always known this even since the day I met you. We have been spending more time together and I am so happy to be here with you! So in love with you. You are perfect in every way. Your smile, your beautiful eyes. Adjacently, your beliefs and thoughts are perfect. Or, well, like mine. And I love that you challenge me intellectually. I love the way you make me laugh and how emotional I become when I merely think of a moment without you. You are perfect; perfect for me and I wouldn't have you any other way. 

Life is about days like these. Appreciating y o u. 

Yours in love and light,

Vanessa

Cosmic Shift Today

First, the Universe is embracing a SUPER Full Moon tonight in Sagittarius. Today is not the day to make large, emotional decisions or start new business ventures. This is because the full moon will have a stronger pull on the ocean tides as well as all emotional turmoils. In addition, there will be a Lunar Eclipse. Today is a today to keep calm and relax, becoming more intune with ourselves and with the world. These events are here to cleanse the worldly energy and to bring peace. 

I have a question

...for you. 

What are you avoiding?

Switch it up

Change of pace. Slow down. Deep breath. Bakin' banana bread at this time of the night. Dramatic pause. 

A completely new way of life is coming for me. New perspectives, new influences. New wavelengths. I like that. And I'm excited for all of these changes. I am so ready to embrace my natural way of life. A time to discover. A time to cherish. This is it. The time I have waited for my whole life. Everything begins now. 

Your vibe

It is very curious how when you are forced into a state of being unnatural to you that you begin to become flat, dull and hardened. The moment you break through that unnatural state and return to your natural state you become radiant and flourishing. I have spent the last 4 months stuck in some unnatural rhythm of life. It hardened me, making me unresponsive to my creativity, unresponsive to my higher consciousness and unresponsive to life itself. It felt like a waking coma. I am happy to be living again. All forces within me working full speed ahead. Creating again, flourishing again. 

If you feel you have fallen into this unnatural vibration, take a moment to listen to your heart and listen carefully. All answers of change are within you.

Nix Competition: This is YOUR life

You know, I find competition a very interesting thing. First, logic tells us that we can only compare things that are alike in someway and even then, those conditions may not be adequate enough to be able to compare. So why do we compete with others? If we are all individuals, unique, divine beings, with our own purposes in life, living out our own wills, following our own path, then why do we (and I say that collectively) feel the need to compete with others? We cannot adequately compare ourselves to another being because we are our own person, eccentric in every way. In fact, there is no one else out there like you! Again, based upon pure logic, how can we compare ourselves to other beings if we are the only ones of our kind? That is correct. We cannot. 

Yours in love and light,

Vanessa

Stardust

In the midst of a dark world, we provide hope with kindness, smiles and laughter. We radiate light from within us, sharing love and happiness. As matter is neither created nor destroyed, essentially we are stardust. Our bodies and hearts formed from the most radiant stars.

Happy Love

I would be happy spending the rest of my days on this Earth poor, with no money as long as I could enjoy the pleasure of leading my simple life: writing for the sake of proclaiming love. It is such a joy in my life to be able to express my ideas freely. To be able to study Transpersonal Psychology. To study the Universal truths in spirituality and philosophy. To be able to give my love through my words. That is the most important one. To give love through words. Wow. What a transformation this has been. What a wonderful way to continue my journey in love.

In this moment

I am sitting here thinking to myself,"In only a few hours, I will be done with this lecture. This time next week I will be done with most of my finals. Wow, this time next year I will be halfway through my Master's degree." Then I think about how the last 4 years have flown by. Life has moved incredibly fast. I would not change a thing about my journey. I feel immensely joyed to be here in this moment feeling nostalgic like I am. I am incredibly happy to be living out my dreams and aspirations with all the people I love most. In the quiet stillness of this moment, I am happy just being. 

I feel a milestone being a achieved...

Take risks

Follow your truth whatever that might be. Don't settle for job security. Don't settle for any type of subpar security. You are magnificent and radiant. You can achieve all things desired. 

Melancholy

As things are changing and my undergraduate degree is coming to a close, there is a lot to be excited for. I am GRADUATING. I am going to GRADUATE SCHOOL. I got into the most amazing program in the world, the only program I wanted to go to and the only program I even applied for. I did it. I have successfully completely my first degree and successfully applied to graduate school. I have a lot to be happy for. So I ask myself, why am I not happy? 

Instead, I'm melancholy. Sad that one chapter is closing. In many ways, my childhood is really behind me now. I'm really an adult. Sad to be leaving some friends behind. Sad to know that many people in my present won't make it to my future because of the transformation that is going to take place. But excited for this new journey. Pensive about what the future holds. Pensive, thinking, pensive, thinking, pensive, thinking, pensive, thinking. 

Pensive...

Thinking...

With a touch of magic

Dark spiral down.

I am traveling faster and faster.

I am outside myself now.

Shimmering lights.

Blue, purple, pink.

Fairy dust.

The facade is over.

The Coming into Reality

That moment when you realize all of the efforts you have been making to help your "dream come true" have all ready passed because you are in it now. You are l i v i n g inside your dream at this precise moment. It feels amazing to be here. All I have ever wanted from my life is coming into manifestation. This truly reveals the power of mindfulness. holding your intentions within the now. Just as my dream has come into reality for me, so it will too come into reality for you. Namaste.

A message for you

It's ok. We are in the here and now. This moment shall too pass. I'm channeling this message to you from a higher existence. All of the beings around you are one with you and you are one with me in this existence. There is no one else here but y o u n i v e r s e. Close your eyes and feel the resonance within you, within me. Feel yourself raising your vibrational levels. Feel the love within you. Feel the light within you. Allow the love and and light to flow through you, extending yourself to those in need around you. You are a guide, a starlight being. You were specifically chosen for this life to do great things. You are magnificent and radiant. You are you, I am I, we are we. 

The concept of Time

The continuum of time is so fascinating to me. I found myself in two anxiety producing situations this week. Both of them in which I was able to mentally coach myself out of the anxiety because of the concept of time. Time waits for no one, it keeps going regardless of what is happening around you. For example: if there is a certain event happening at a given time and it produces anxiety it is important to note that that event is not the end of time nor is it the end of your life. There is an "after the fact" event that must happen. So in short, just as the anxiety producing event will pass in time so too will the anxiety itself. Therefore showing that all pain and discomfort are only temporary.

Moonlight on water

I look up. Navy canvas, silver shimmers sprinkled throughout. I tip my head upside down. Harbor. Deep ocean, boats docked, moonlight on water. 

The clock

Late nights. 
Crowded mind. 
Insomnia creeping in. 
Tick goes the clock. 

Tick. 

Tock.

Be receptive to the messages the Universe has to offer you. Sometimes we must trudge through pain before we understand. 

Brain state

Regardless of your life condition, mindset = manifestation = acquiring life's dreams. That is it my loves. That is all. If you try to accomplish all at once, you accomplish nothing. Begin with one thing at a time. 

Yours in love and light,

Vanessa

Namaste

La La Land

I would love to be married right now. Or rather, I would love to be engaged and planning my wedding right now. That seems like such a real life fairytale.

The Color Coral

I love this weather. It brings so much unconscious internal dialogue to waking life and it allows me to improve. Introspection is a beautiful thing and a healed mind is gorgeous. Lately, I've been super anxious to discover what the future holds. Just waiting. One step at a time.

Here. Now. Namaste. Chi. Prana. Breath. Energy. Flow. Cosmos. Divine.

Love. Truth. Passion. Warmth. Sun. Respect. Beauty.

Dreaming.

In the meantime,  I would love to take a vacation to the beach...or go to the mountains; something relaxing. Maybe in a bit...

i'm feeling coral, whatever that means exactly...

Be thee Now

You are a cosmic and celestial being. Prepare your heart and soul to the openness of the Universe. Begin a life of mindfulness for it will raise your consciousness. Let go of ego and return to your natural state; love and light. It is your duty to work towards the collective cleansing of society. Draw in breath; Prana. Notice the starlight in your heart growing, expanding, warming. Recognize the beauty of the Earth and how this is the same beauty in yourself. You are wonderful, shining and beautiful; you are one with yourself and one with the Universe. Welcome to the Beginning.

Down to 32 days

It is coming down to crunch time. Making moves, decisions. This is life changing. But this is what it takes to be successful. I'm dedicated, diligent and persevering. I can accomplish this. I am going to do this. It is just a matter of time now.

Touch

Take a moment to de-stress from the fast pace of our lives.  It is such a powerful force that most of us overlook. Give a hug or cuddle with your pet. Both parties benefit. Better yet, right now, right this moment, give yourself a hug and notice how you feel after. Touch and be touched today. Both physically, spiritually and emotionally.

Happy Valentine's Day!

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection. " -Buddha 

Never forget the light that resides within you. Let the fallacies of this day fall away and allow warmth and love to glow and grow in your heart. 

Namaste. 

I love you all.

-Vanessa

Cake and Candles!

Thank you TUT Notes from the Universe!

A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Vanessa Lamorte doesn't come along all that often. In fact, there's never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.

Quite simply:

You're the kind of person, Vanessa,
Who's hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you've met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don't know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Vanessa, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn't know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won't be alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Vanessa!

You are the (1) and (1) Only (1) One.

Walking down raining streets

Don't wait for someone else to do it for you. Be a healer. Be your healer. Contribute your goodness to the world whichever way you see fit. You are you. Wonderful. Radiating your warm vibrations like the sun. Beautiful. You can do anything. You can BE anything.

Saluting the divine in you which also resides in me. The recogonition of the two shows we are one.

This is what life is really about.

Unity in light and love,

Vanessa

Independent of time

Sometimes we have the those days where life stops us dead in our tracks. It's like we come head to head with life and it takes a deep look in our eyes, into our souls and shakes the ground beneath us. Evoking introspection, questioning us, forcing us to evaluate our re[actions] and to determine what truly makes us whole. Today was one of those days. Tomorrow is day 2. 

Your state of origin: awakened consciousness

Open your inner being to the isness of the world. Do not give in to the temptations of drugs, alcohol, food or any other forms of escapism for they do not allow you to be truly alive in the present moment. 

Bringer and deliverer of light

Let love and peace be your gifts to the world for there are no gifts that are greater. 

Past-Future=Now

Surrender yourself to the present moment. Touch something, notice the steady rise and fall of your breath, observe the bounty of light energy within yourself. Relinquish the need to dwell in the past and relinquish the need to hope for, anticipate the future. The time is always now. 

It's your time. Own 2013.

Welcome to the year of change. Welcome to the year of complete and utter love, happiness, tranquility. Welcome to the year all of things you desire and need will come into manifestation. Welcome to the year that isn't a dream anymore. Welcome to the year that is truly alive. Welcome to 2013!

Let us live in harmony this year. Let us be one with each other. Let us show respect, expose truth and proclaim love. Let us live our lives to our fullest potentials. Let us feel and be real. Let us be raw human beings. Let us be free. The wind in our hair, sunshine on our face, arms wide open, top of the mountain kind of freedom. Let us find transcendentalism.
