Gratitude Monday’s – What are you Grateful for?
Gratitude and the practice of Gratitude is a big part of my daily life. It helps me to respond & transform to the moments that seem ‘challenging’ and it fuels the moments that are peaceful, joyful & thriving.
I find expressing my gratitude in prayer, intention, out loud, in the written word, in song ..all these ways are very power to help me magnify the energy that gratitude brings. I also find sharing what I am grateful for with my family & with my community and hearing what they are grateful for can be a powerful way we can witness each others Gratitude and magnify this energy within ourselves and our lives.
Authentic Gratitude has the power to transform, heal & create miracles, and by expressing this and witnessing this we can support this energy & the gifts that come with it to grow & thrive within ourselves & the life path that we are journeying.
I started something earlier this year that I liked to call ‘Gratitude Monday’s‘. I found that beginning my new work & creative week with Gratitude & with expressing this gratitude and hearing & feeling other peoples gratitude can be very assistive & beneficial and help us all to begin our week from a place of intentional Divine connection, conscious Presence and the Creator Energy that flows within each of us.
Together by simply expressing our own gratitude & witnessing others gratitude we can help magnify the transformative, creative & healing power of gratitude in our lives. Then
as we embrace this presence of gratitude within ourselves this can naturally ripple out into our world.
So GRATITUDE MONDAY’s ARE BACK!!
I would love to hear from you what you are grateful for today, each Monday and together may we support eachother to live a more conscious life, manifesting the lives we love & living from a place of sacred connection & our Hearts Bliss.
WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR THIS DAY?
I look forward to hearing & witnessing your Gratitude.
In Peace,

The Gulf of Mexico – Day 107 & whats next?
WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE & CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
OUR PLANET, HER WATERS, HER CREATURES, HER PEOPLE..NEED US NOW!
HOW WILL YOU RESPOND?
With the sealing of the well and the completion of the oil flowing into the Gulf after 107 days it offers us a moment to give thanks that this oil flow into the waters of the Gulf is now stopped.
It is also easy to think that after this ‘marathon’ of daily focus that our job is done,
however now more than ever our prayers, meditations, intentions, Love and focus is needed to respond to all that is occurring as a result of this situation and the choices and actions that were made during the response and clean up.
With the well now sealed & permanently closed, other issues that have been going on behind this main focus are coming to light.
A TIME FOR CLEAN ENERGY
The situation occurring in the Gulf of Mexico calls us to look at the ways we source & use energy in our lives & on our planet.
As we unite daily for the Global Prayer Wave for the Gulf of Mexico & bring our focus to how I, we can assist both in prayer, intentions, love & actions..I contemplate the whole system that has gotten us to this place, to this situation.
Its becoming clear that greed and lack of integrity, lies & deceit have played a large role in what has caused the Deep Horizons explosion & the large amount of oil that currently still pours into the Gulf.
But thats not what I want to bring attention to. Read more…
The Gulf Situation – How will we Respond?
As I witness what is occurring in the Gulf and the oil that is spilling, it is sometimes hard to find a place of peace & knowing that amidst this situation lies is a huge opportunity for growth.
Over these last weeks as I watch the oil spilling into such pristine Ocean, effecting ocean life, moving to effect life on land and effecting the people of these areas so deeply, I continually ask myself how can we make a difference? Why does it seem like many in Humanity forget or turn an unconscious eye to the preciousness of our Living Planet & how interconnected with our with our world. How precious the Oceans are & the role they play in sustaining & nourishing our very lives.
Perhaps this has occurred as a very loud wake up call to Humanity.
This situation offering us as Human’s a wake-up call towards a new sustainable way of life with our living planet. The question is – How will I respond, how will you respond, how will we/Humanity respond?
PRAYER VIGIL – 12noon daily your time – http://www.theglobalprayerwave.com
Join us daily at 12 noon YOUR TIME for 1 minute (3-5 if your inspired) of focused silence, prayer & intention for the situation occurring in the Gulf of Mexico.

A Step Forward Into HEALTH
My Guru once told me, that to reach spiritual freedom & awakening, ‘Health Freedom’ & the health of the physical body was an essential step on the path of personal liberation.
So as I look at humanity as a whole, as an evolving species than Health, Health Care and new forms of healing and pathways to physical wellbeing are essential to this.
Its been fascinating & sometimes frustrating to watch the ‘game’ & ulterior motives involved with Health Care reform over this last year in the USA. Some on the right think it’s too extreme and are being presented with alot of mis-truths for selfish gain and some on the left think it doesn’t go far enough. Many on both sides, in their own ways, opposing even a step forward into a higher quality of Heath Care in the US.
WHAT IF WE SEE THIS REFORM AS A FIRST STEP.
“We need Help & Prayers.”
This was the quote I read recently in a local paper, a quote from someone in Haiti.
As a global Community what can we offer, how can we assist?
How do we each choose to respond to the call for help by so many?
We can assist by donating money and supplies to those in need, we can assist through offering our time in setting up/participating in benefit events (many of us already having done both). We can also powerfully assist through our Prayers, our Conscious Intentions, our Presence, our prayerful focus and visualization. This is what I want to offer here, a Prayerful Intention for all those affected in Haiti.

The Power of Prayer & Conscious Intention
‘Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action’. Mohandas ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi
The Power of Prayer & Conscious Intention in the Modern World.
What is Prayer?
Prayer is a conversation and communication with the Divine, the Divine within you and the Divine all around you. It is an energy exchange between you and your Awakened SELF and the God/Source Consciousness that is present within all of life, the Unlimited Divine Creator.
Prayer is a sacred space where an exchange occurs between you and the Divine.
New Year, New Decade, New Beginning!
Today we are at the dawn of a New Year & a new decade 2010, what will this hold for each of us? 2010-2020, what will the next ten years hold? What are your intentions, dreams, prayers, beliefs, desires for this new year & this new decade?
On the eve of this new dawn, we are also blessed with a Full Moon; a Blue Moon (meaning second full moon in the month). It is a powerful magnifier of the energies & patterns we are surrendering, calling for transformation so that we may embrace the new energies and patterns of this new cycle and all its potential.
As we move through this doorway I find it powerful & relevant to take some time to contemplate this last year and the lessons, joy’s, challenges and love that has been experienced. What are the gifts of this last year? What Wisdom have I gained? What have been the gifts of this last decade & how have I grown? What ‘tools’ am I taking with me into this new cycle?
I believe GRATITUDE is a powerful tool in these moments. Offering gratitude for both the joys and successes and also gratitude for the challenging moments, those that come with deeper and sometimes hidden gifts and lessons.
I think it is important to stop and ‘Congratulate’ the self for all the ‘successes’. Success being as simple as every time you chose Love over Fear, every time you saw yourself in reaction & chose to respond differently, ever time you took a moment to look honestly at yourself, release your blame of others and see how ‘ I ‘ can change & make a difference. In the moments when you shared your gifts of Love & Peace with your family, friends & Community. In the challenging moments when you had the courage to keep going and look for the gifts & lessons. In the moments when you needed assistance and you asked for help, in the moments when others needed help and you offered this. In the moments when you followed your inner guidance, rather than what ‘others’ told you was right, in each moment when you questioned how to live more consciously, peacefully, sustainably…and in each moment when you silently turned within and opened to the Divinity YOU ARE!
So many successful moments… so much to be honored & given Gratitude for…
From my Heart to yours ~ THANK YOU ~ Thank you for your Courage and your YES to be here at this time on the planet and be awakening within yourself & your daily life. Thank you for all you do & BE to assist LOVE, PEACE, ONENESS to be realized within our world.
New Year, New Decade, New Beginning!
As we honor all that has gone before we make space to begin a new; a new cycle; a New Year; a new decade. We face a blank canvas, waiting for us to paint on it our dreams, prayers & intentions.
What will you paint?
What are your visions & dreams for this New Year?
What are your dreams for this New decade?
What makes your Heart Sing?
How can you be living & supporting this path everyday? (even if it is just one simple step).
As we each enter this New Year, may we know that we are held in the unseen arms of Love and that within us lies the doorway to connect into who we truly are; into our Power, Brilliance, Potential & Divine Magnificence.
In 2010 may you remember the power of your Breath, and setting your conscious intentions. Also the power of self responsibility and self reflection. The importance of SELF LOVE and the role of balance and Self nourishment in your life. For when we are a full and overflowing cup this is a blessing into our world.
My new years prayer/mantra for you:
“My eyes are the eyes of Love. I see Love in everyone, including myself.
My voice is the voice of Love. Every word I speak is filled with the vibration of Love.
My words are the words of Love & Peace, I speak consciously & mindfully.
My hands are the hands of Love. Everything I touch, I touch with Love.
My Body is the body of Love. Every cell is now vibrating Love and Health.
I AM Love. You are Love. We are Love. ALL IS LOVE.
I AM an embodiment of the Divine and I live in Harmony with all of Life.
I AM A DIVINE SONG and in this New Year my Presence ripples out as a blessing of Love, Peace, Joy & Oneness into my World.”
HONOR SELF, HONOR FAMILY, HONOR COMMUNITY, HONOR MOTHER EARTH, HONOR HER CREATURES, HONOR THE WATERS, HONOR ALL OF LIFE!!
OUR WORLD IS CONNECTED and ALL OF LIFE IS PRECIOUS.
HAPPY NEW YEAR..Happy FULL MOON..SIMPLE & EASY REMEMBERING & AWAKENING!!
and in the words of my Beloved partner “Let your Heart SHINE!!“ in this New Year.
Namaste

Here is a Musical gift for you from myself & my partner Cornflower in honor of this New Year. A little something for you to enjoy and get your New Years groove & celebration on!!
A Time of Love!
As we move into this time of celebration, as people all over the world celebrate and come together with those they love. May you remember the LOVE you ARE and share this love with all those you will connect with during this holiday season.
Whatever your spiritual or religious background is, however you choose to celebrate or honor this time, I pray that it is filled with LOVE, JOY, PEACE and many magical moments with those you love.
Christmas for me holds a special significance, it reminds me to honor & remember that within me lives the Christ (by that I mean the resonance & presence of ‘Christ Consciousness‘) waiting to be birthed and embodied through me into this sacred world and that this ‘Consciousness’ is alive and present within all of life waiting to be birthed and lived.
It also reminds me of LOVE. That we all come from love and are this LOVE! That within each of us burns the flame of love. And it reminds me how powerful & tangible the energy of Peace, Joy & Love is when so many people around the world are coming from this space within themselves.
Just imagine what it will be like when more people around our world begin to embody these frequencies on a more consistent basis.
These last 3 years and the passing of some close family members has brought a deeper appreciation for the preciousness of family, good friends & spirit family and the moments when we all get to be together to celebrate and enjoy the gift of our love & connection. Even if we can not be directly with our family or friends, we can still take a moment to tune into our hearts and feel our love & connection with them.
For those who find this time of the year challenging due to a sense of being alone or a loss of a loved one, I send you the prayer ~ “May you know how deeply loved you are, May you feel this love within and around you and May you honor this time in a way that opens the doorway to allow in Joy, Love, Healing & Peace.”
For those who feel stressed about ‘giving gifts’ and perhaps your financial situations. May you know your LOVE is a GIFT!
Finally, remember to BREATHE this holiday time. Breathe and find your center amidst all the celebrations, travels, meals, connections. Breathe and remember the LOVE YOU ARE and then share this love with all those around you and may this love then ripple out to transform our world!
I believe the greatest gift I can give is to realize the Love I AM and share this Love with others and hope that in turn my Presence & offerings assist them to realize the LOVE they ARE!
BLESSINGS of Peace, Love, Joy, Health, Abundance & Consciousness flowing to you and to all those you love!
Merry, Happy Christmas..
In Peace & Love
Namaste
Nikita
Solstice, 2012 and the New Paradigm
Solstice ~ December 21st, 2009 ~ 3 years until December 21st, 2012.
SOLSTICE
Today we honor solstice, winter solstice for those of us in the Northern hemisphere & Summer solstice for those in the Southern hemisphere.
As I contemplate my relationship with the solstice and how it marks the shortest day of the year; the day of most night in the Northern hemisphere and the longest day of the year and the day of most light in the Southern hemisphere. It reminds me of the Yin Yang symbol and the wisdom this holds around balance as a key to our awakening & evolution.
It seems as if solstice & its role has often been overshadowed by the energy, celebrations & focus on Christmas and its significance in our lives forgotten. It feels like much of our ‘western’ culture has forgotten our essential roots & connection to these ‘natural’ cycles that inform our lives and the home we call Earth.
I believe these connections; our relationship to the Earth, the Elements, the creatures of this planet, the Sun & Moon and celestial bodies is a key to not only our personal awakening, but also to humanities awakening on a global scale. This awakening is needed to assist the Human experience to go from separation, destruction & conflict to Sustainability, Unity, Peace, Conscious Creation & being centered on the greater ‘SELF’ that is One & connected with all of Life & the Universe.
The first peoples of this earth understood the symbiotic relationship that occurs between Human, the Earth and the Sun; these essential relationships that support all of life on our planet.
Our relationship to the Earth, to the Sun and thus their cycles is similar to our relationship to our physical body and its cycles. The more we care for our bodies, tune into what supports their highest health and nurture our bodies the clearer we become in our lives, in our relationships and in our creations. Just imagine as we move into harmony once again with the Earth, the Sun & Moon and their cycles, the clarity that it will offer us both on a physical level and also on a spiritual level.
So solstice is a power moment in the cycle of our Earth as its relationship to the Sun; both which support our very existence. What a power moment to stop, be still, and tune into the Great Mother Earth and the Sun, to open and deepen our personal relationship with these two ‘Mothers’; these ‘life giving beings’ and offer our humble gratitude for the gift it is to be alive on this precious Earth.
What does the Solstice mean to you?
2012, Releasing fear & opening to the Truth ~ birth of a New Paradigm
Today marks 3 years until the prophesied Dec 21st, 2012. There seems to be much misunderstanding around the significance of this date & what it is heralding.
In my understanding December 21st, 2012 is not a day of apocalypse, a ‘dooms day’ as so much in the media is portraying, but a date of possibility, potential & profound change. I think it is very important that we understanding the significance of this date and thus as ‘creators of our reality’, we release the visions of ‘doom, destruction, fear & panic’ and embrace the potential this date marks for the ushering of a ‘New Age’ of Peace, Unity, Sustainability, Oneness and awakening of Humanity on a global scale. This date marking the completion of a cycle and the beginning of a new cycle and the unknown potential & possibilities that await us in this new cycle.
This date marks the completion of both a ‘Season of the Sun’ and a ‘Year of the Sun’. A season of the sun is 26,000 Earth years and a year of the sun is 104,000 Earth years. So it is like us moving from one season into a new season and at the same time we are completion of a Year of the Sun, so its New Years eve for the Sun, with us at the dawn of a whole new year of the Sun, a new 104,000 year cycle.
We are completing these two powerful cycles that effect the Sun and birthing into two new cycles for the Sun and as we know the Sun informs the Earth with its light, heat & energy & thus affects all of Life on this planet. So it makes sense to understand that this change to the Sun will also affect the Earth, and thus all of life on our planet….meaning US!
In my understanding the Mayan peoples understood/understand the power of time, cycles, the Earth, Sun and these relationships and they prophesied this change on the date of December 21st, 2012. ONE of their calendars, completes on this date (this calendar was designed to keep time with a certain cycle). They have other calendars/timing cycles that go beyond this date. This is where there is some misunderstanding, people interpreting that because one of their calendars end and record this date as a pivotal moment that catastrophe must be going to happen. This is where fear has been created and for some reason the belief that the world is going to end. It seems one of Humanities great lessons is to go beyond the drama and reaction, to uncover, realize and live what is TRUTH.
What I believe has been misunderstood is the significance of the ending of this current cycle in the Earths story and also in the Human ‘play of drama & separation’ story, and the BEGINNING of a NEW STORY, a NEW PARADIGM, a New cycle for not only the Sun, but the Earth & all of life on the Earth!
There is much more to share in regards to this; how the Sun is shifting in its frequency and thus informing the Earth & all of life with this new frequency and thus influencing the powerful time of transition, change & evolution that is occurring within our world.
For now I think the most important thing is to release the FEAR and take conscious steps to embrace the resonance & reality of Love, Peace, Sustainability, Unity, Honoring all Life & Connection to the Source within, that connects us to all of life & the Universe.
This is why so many are going through such challenging times, because that which no longer serves these new frequency’s, those patterns, beliefs, choices & actions within ourselves and our world are coming up to been seen, so they can be allowed, healed and a new pathway chosen.
Our personal evolution requires our conscious choice and actions. The evolution of Humanity is also requires conscious choices and conscious actions.
Our precious Earth is calling to us to remember our harmonic place with her, that we are one & part of eachother.
Today marks a powerful day, a day to remember our innate connection with our relationship to the living breathing planet all around us, to the Sun & celestial bodies and to this profound time of prophecy we are living right now!
Our Light; our Consciousness is needed. Our Love & Peace are needed. You are needed, I am needed, we are needed to live as consciously as we can and assist in using in this NEW AGE for ourselves, Humanity and our Earth.
My purpose for this post is to offer light & things to contemplate as I feel our ‘conscious awareness & actions’ and very needed right now…all of US!
For we are now many in number that understand & those of us striving, dedicated to live the New Paradigm daily.
During this time may we each remember how much we are loved, that we have a unseen team of lightworkers with us at all times supporting & guiding us and that we are not alone. We love our planet & she loves us and we are the ones we have been waiting for, we are the people of prophecy, we are the new peoples of Peace & the Awakening.
NAMASTE
