The Light Within You

Hello Sweet Souls, it has been a long while since I last wrote a blog. As you too, are going through the mess that is happening, I know you understand. It has been, at times, heavy and scary, boring and flat and uplifting and awe-inspiring–just in the last 8 months or so.

Do you feel as if you have been on a journey of many levels? Humanity is being given the opportunity to correct many wrongs that have silently and insidiously been happening for centuries. I for one, am delighted to see how many people are now aware of underground societies, dark agendas, pedophile rings, human trafficking, drug companies running our medical system, Monsanto poisoning our food, self-serving agendas between banks, the uber-rich and governments…the list continues…but that is plenty to chew on! Finally action against these is taking place and being illuminated for what they are…

And yet, while those who incarnated on this planet to expose and shine a light on all of these truths by being warriors are doing their mission–many of us simply need to stay in our lane and breathe. It is enough to learn about the underground activities and to speak of them to others who, like you, were in the dark about them until now. As we readjust our thinking and our belief in the “system” we live in, keep breathing, keep shining your light. There will be a time for us to move into action, but for now, we learn, we digest and we wait.

Right now, the main action for you is to vote. Center yourself in your heart and vote who you feel is the right person for such a big job. Once you have voted, let it go…the time for trust is now. The person who will be voted into the office of the President will need to continue to expose and implode the nefarious actions of the deep state situation.

Breathe and move into TRUST. Breathe. Center yourself and get grounded. Shut out the shouting, the desperate voices of division–move into Oneness within your Heart. Breathe. Center. Ground. Focus on your heart and the Love that is ever-expanding. Stillness. Ahhh. Know that all is well within your heart. The dye is cast and what will be, will be. No longer in charge of your task of voting, let go and breathe. Be the stillness. Allow your breath to take you to Peace. Be in Peace. Then embody peace…Don’t let yourself go back into the pool of chaos. Stay in peace and do what you can to stay peaceful. Create an oasis within your home–play soothing music, let in fresh air…Cook a lovely meal, water your garden, watch a sunset/sunrise, paint, clean, organize your closets…Find simple, yet satisfying tasks to keep you in a peaceful space. In other words, make your time feel as if it is well-spent on tasks that bring you joy.

The Light within you is all you need to find peace, a respite from the outside world and craziness…You shine your light with your attention. So place your attention on things that tangibly matter to you, your home, your family & friends, the work you do and whatever else makes your heart happy. No matter what is happening in this big, beautiful world, create a peaceful space for you that is filled with the Light that is held in your heart.

Be well sweet friends…

Namaste,

Beth

Honoring the Goddess Within

The word “Goddess” brings different ideas to everyone. For some, the Goddess may evoke images of mythical deities, like Aphrodite, Kali, Lakshmi, Diana or Isis. For others, it may be screen goddesses, such as Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe or Angelina Jolie or some other feminine idol. For me, the Goddess is very personal. The Goddess in my heart has MY face, MY ideals, and holds MY power.

The Goddess is a creative force and a strength that takes on many forms. It is a feminine energy that can be drawn from at any time, by everyone. The Goddess is right there next to God. She is the feminine version of the Source. She carries the gentle, maternal energies and creates the balance that we all need. The Goddess is also a warrior energy that will not put up with nonsense. The Goddess energy is all that you need to help move you through life’s challenges.

It’s an energy that says, “You go for it! What’s stopping you, but you? Don’t be afraid to take chances!” It’s a strength that doesn’t allow for abuse, belittling words, gossip and unkindness. It is a vibration that brings forth ethics, right living and taking the high road. It is like a pool from which we can drink and pull strength, power and nurturing whenever we feel put down by life or someone else. This Goddess energy is available at all times, by everyone–male and female–whenever it is needed.

When you need a bit of Goddess energy, meditate, dance, sing out loud, write in a journal, ask for assistance through prayer or take a long walk in nature. All of these activities can make you feel better. They may not solve your problem, but they can offer you clarity, insight or an open space to draw in what you need. The Goddess energy is an opening to energies readily available to you.

I feel that simply by thinking about how the Goddess resides within me, I get clearer information. It’s as if I am mentally walking on a road with a fork and the path to the left is the Goddess path while the road to the right is where I have been stuck. If I go to the left, answers come easily and will make sense. If I stay on the road I was already on, the situation stays muddled, unclear and stagnant. After so many years of walking in this way, the choice becomes easy.

The Goddess force is so present, so alive in our energies when we awaken her and invite her to come and stand with us in this life, that we find our path to be clearer, more potent, and more meaningful.

To awaken the Goddess in you or to spend meaningful time allowing the energies of the Goddess to pour through you is very simple. You can set up an altar with a Goddess statue, flowers, candles, anointing oil, symbols and anything sacred to you to signifies the Goddess. These will help you to focus on calling in the Goddess. Spend time in meditation, getting centered and balanced. Be still, listen within. Notice any changes or thoughts that come in…It doesn’t take long as she isn’t far. In truth, she is within you: you are Goddess, not ‘a’ Goddess, simply Goddess.

Another wonderful way to connect daily with the Goddess energy is through oracle cards. These differ from Tarot cards in that each oracle card has a message written on it. You can select a Goddess deck(there are many to choose from) and pull a card each day with a message from Goddess to you. Place the card on your altar or a special place where you will see it throughout your day. Know that the messages are usually spot on for what you have going on in your life. They are a daily source of fun and inspiration.

Bring the Goddess into your daily life. Draw from her strength, power and wisdom. Know that you hold these energies within you. Honor them and feel honored by them. You are Goddess!

Beliefs & Creation

Hello Sweet Souls,
We are so powerful!! We are always connected to the full power of our Being. Unfortunately, we get lost along the way…Go deep within to pull forth the creator power that you ARE. Use the tools that sing to you. Pray/chant/sing into existence all that you wish. Do this from your heart and see what you create!! We create beliefs that we cannot achieve or grow or move ahead or be abundant or thrive or stop the emotional pain….all of that is nonsense. Look at Oprah, born poor, raised in an unsafe place, sexually abused—and yet, she found an inner strength that is present within all of us to rise beyond the limitations of poverty and abuse. She knew she could be greater than what was expected of her, so she pushed forward. Are any of us any different than her? Actually no, we all source from the same well of creation, God/Goddess/Sophia/Spirit/Source. So why did she rise? She BELIEVED she could. She BELIEVED beyond the poverty, beyond the abuse and beyond the color of her skin. If you BELIEVE that you are unlovable, your world will reflect that. If you BELIEVE that you are not enough, your world will reflect that. If you BELIEVE that you are unworthy…well guess what? Your world will reflect that with everyone around you showing you how unworthy you are! We will draw to us those who will mirror for us what we believe about ourselves. If I believe myself unlovable, my family will show me by not hearing me, by not respecting my wishes, by ignoring my wants, by loving me in a way that makes me feel unloved. Your Belief begets your REALITY. IT. IS. THAT. SIMPLE.
Do we need to tread the water of “woe is me” for an entire lifetime? Or can we swim to the shore of “I believe in ME?!” Let go of the limiting beliefs and see the TRUTH of YOU. Unique, amazing, skilled, talented, wise, loyal, trustworthy, honest, fun, caring, kind—In fact, make a LIST—today—of your personal strengths and read it over and over….Now look at your Reality and see if there is a match or if it reflects a belief you now wish to be done with? You can overcome any belief. You can! It is not done through affirmations, although they can help to focus you, it is done through FEELING your pain, your wounds, your TRUTH. It is only through the willingness to go into the dark recesses of your beliefs that will shine a light of truth and eliminate what was hiding. Create from Love of Self to have a life that is your perfect match.
If you need help with this, a guide…I am available for private sessions.
Namaste, Beth

Welcome 2020!

Allow your heart to lead you to the ways of TRUTH that define the True YOU.

The relief that we are done with 2019 is palpable, right?! Whew! It’s like we are finally finished with an overwhelming task that seemingly had no end. Thank God. And while it was a hard trek for many of us, the rewards of freedom from so much that held us down far outweigh the difficulty. I, for one, am happier than ever, more at ease with where life is taking me and so excited to welcome in the new year.

So with all the buzz of 2020 being a year of clear vision…what can we expect? As I look forward I see that 2020 is “the Year of Self-Discovery.” In this we can now examine with clarity who we truly are without all of the old beliefs and emotional baggage. Since 2018-2019 pushed us to revisit and release the old, heavy and uncomfortable feelings and ways of being, we either let go or we drowned a bit, sometimes both. But in the end, we released most, if not all, that was required for us to move ahead freely into 2020. That is the short version and really all we need to understand to make the most of the new year.

For me this will be the year I pick up a journal and with specific questions(prompts) I will dive in deep to unfold all that I can about myself. I commit to daily time alone to simply be with myself, in stillness. It is in the this quiet time that the world becomes a universe of ONE. Me. And while I know that I exist in Oneness all the time, I can focus on myself and still be part of the whole.

Meditation, journaling, a walk in nature, watching a sunrise or sunset can all be part of the practice of getting to know myself. Alone with my thoughts, I can uncover areas that need some work to overcome, like judgement. I will catch those frustrated moments where I am definitely NOT in Oneness! Haha. But I will hopefully catch myself and shorten the time between the feeling arising and my squashing that thought with love. I’ve practiced this for a long time with other emotions with great success, so this will be a focus for me. As I unfold, I will keep personal judgement at bay…this is not the time to beat myself up over aspects of myself that were part of the protective layers of coping in the big, bad world. Now I know better…and I can do better. With Love every step of the way.

The beauty of uncovering the Truth of YOU is that there are so many gorgeous aspects of yourself that you have thrown away by not acknowledging what is there. Do you see your beauty or kindness as others do? Do you notice how easily smiles come to strangers–some who might not have received a smile all week…See where your beauty lies. Accept yourself in new light, shiny and golden or bright white diamonds…you are Magnificent!! This is not to be ignored. Accepting ourselves includes seeing the traits that you were taught to ignore. Past generations were afraid of boasting, of bragging and the ugliness of seeing yourself as you ARE. While I don’t advocate bragging ever…I do think that it is perfectly fine to see and accept that you are possibly the smartest person in the room, you may be creatively endowed, a superior musician, uncannily wise, incredibly beautiful and so much more…Have fun acknowledging these fun facts of YOU. In fact, just HAVE FUN!

It was taught to me by Spirit that we must SEEK JOY, it doesn’t find us. Joy doesn’t knock on our door and announce it’s presence. No, you need to plan, to create an outing to be enjoyed. Enjoyed=In Joy. Go to a concert, a beach sunset picnic, a dinner created with friends filled with laughter….Let learning about ourselves include doing the things that bring us JOY. This might be the year to FINALLY take the class in painting you’ve always dreamt of…or going on a trip to a place that has always fascinated you…go to a writer’s workshop, go sing with a teacher, buy a great camera and

beautiful bloom blooming blossom — Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

take pictures of nature. In short, follow your heart. Allow your heart to lead you to the ways of Truth that define the true you. Go fearlessly into your Truth. Feeeeel the joy. Be in the moments of JOY. Bliss is joy’s neighbor…if you can be in joy for long enough, it morphs into Bliss. Why NOT go for Bliss?

Allow 2020 to be the year that you discover how precious and special you TRULY are!! And remember, in all ways, walk in LOVE, Be LOVE for in TRUTH, YOU ARE LOVE…And so it is!

Namaste,

Beth

To Certificate or Not…Outside Validation is BS

Hello Sweet Souls,

I was reading online about a friend who was struggling with the decision to stay in a school for all the right/wrong reasons–she them all listed…accredidation, prosperity guarantee, feeling overwhelmed, not sure if all the time was going to pay off, effort vs. credibility. For all of you who feel the pressure of society to gain initials after your name to bring you credibility, or a wall of certificates of trainings you have taken…in my practice NO ONE HAS EVER WALKED AWAY BECAUSE I HAVE NO EDUCATIONAL INITIALS OR CERTIFICATES POSTED ON MY OFFICE WALL…(Of course in certain disciplines this is a necessity–I am not speaking of your corner of the world) But if you are a healer, an intuitive, a card reader, focus on being your most centered, your most grounded and most importantly–the MOST HEALED version of YOU possible.

Many of us have been certified by this weekend class and that week long class and this intensive training–and while I am upsetting some of you, because you thought this a necessity, I am hoping to open you to the TRUTH of You. The TRUTH of YOU is that with balanced work on yourself and a dedication to your field of work, you will get better and better. You will NATURALLY RISE. As you heal the parts of you that play small because that is what feels safe, then playing it safe will no longer feel right. You will feel bolder, stronger and more capable. When you heal the mother and father wounds, you will feel safe. In safety, you will know that your decisions about your work will be based on feelings of empowerment and trust instead of “I’m a certified this and certified that.”

Beloveds, these certificate classes are LIMITING in that you will believe that you must follow their order or way of doing things and it is a box that locks you up…These are that person’s way of reading cards. It may be that she is teaching you deeper insights into HER decks or HER way of seeing with the cards. But what about YOUR way? In truth, I find my order of doing things is unique and potent, for ME and my clients. If your training says to never let another touch your cards, then you will feel awful if someone does. It is disempowering and frustrating because an invisible line has been crossed and you must do cleansing and clearing of that deck. It also sends the message that everyone is “dirty” energetically. Seriously, learn energy clearing and with a THOUGHT you will have those cards shining like the sun! Truly, everyone is perfect for who they are here to be. Their resonance may be different than yours, but this only helps you as a healer to find where they need some release.

I’m not saying no to training, I believe in training and learning, constantly and continuously. My issue is if you feel that in order for you to be validated as a reader/healer that someone else must provide that for you in the form of a certificate. I don’t like that you need someone outside of yourself to give you validation. You are already enough. Keep plying your skills on all who will let you, practice daily, heal your wounds with an experienced healer and watch how you build your wings to freedom.

Let’s be honest, the only thing most of these certificates provide is proof that you paid money and spent x number of hours listening to them teach. No one is looking over your shoulder as you practice and offering tips to do this, or look at it this way…no one is actively seeing what you do…you aren’t tested to prove your knowledge, or to glean insights…THIS is WHY a certificate only tells me that you paid money and listened to them teach. It doesn’t prove to me that you actually LEARNED ANYTHING!! So stop looking outside of yourself for validation. Grab books on your subject, form a practice group, attend classes, find a mentor, watch YouTube how-to videos and REALLY LEARN your craft!!! If you love energy work, begin with Reiki and then add-on whatever else you are being called to…essential oils, crystals, deeper energy methods, EFT, Emotion Code, Anahata Numbers, ThetaHealing, Shamanic Healing etc…it is in the learning, the practice, and the self work that will be ALL the VALIDATION that you could ever want.

If confusion reigns, seek a healer to find where you might have beliefs, fears, blocks, ancestral issues, and wounding…please continue throughout your life to get healing work done–I do and it is amazing the truths and insights that I find about myself this far into my life! Much of our healing is meted out by our timeline. I needed to experience this in order to learn that…only then could I heal this part of me. Healing is for EVERYONE, not just the healers. We can only help others to the level that we have helped ourselves first. If I am trying to heal core woundings for someone and I haven’t healed my own, I will be ineffective. If you are a reader, get healings and you may discover a unique set of fears based on past lives and the safety of being psychic, intuitive, and helpful. Once you are set free and understand, you too will soar!!

It all comes down to this, TRUST that you are enough, period. You are smart enough to learn and practice your craft, smart enough to follow your heart not your head, smart enough to understand the value and importance of healing all wounded parts of yourself, smart enough to know that you are uniquely YOU and YOU will not be boxed in by another’s validation when YOUR BREATH is all the validation of your WORTH that you will ever need. BAM!!

{I offer you my services as a healer if you resonated with this blog. There is much we can do for you. If you are ready to open yourself to your Truth, contact me and make an appointment…long-distance is done through Zoom…239-228-6949 Goddessiam.com}

Sending you all so much love, Namaste, Beth

No More Mob Mentality, be in your TRUTH

We all understand about the idea of “mob mentality” as a scenario of a group of folks who begin to think so alike that they act as one person against their victim. It makes me think of the times when as a friend, I sided with my friend against another who had done nothing to me personally. But my friend was upset or hurt or angry and in defense of her feelings, I too, became upset with this other person. And yes, I talked behind their back–ugh… It felt good to align with my friend and be angry on her behalf! Soon many were against this person…

However, this behavior is destructive and supports separation and wrong action. Look into your life and think of people that you avoid who have done nothing to you, but because of what you have heard about them, you are unwilling to give them a chance. Does this extend to a business or a group? Have you given up your power to discern the truth and allowed another to lead you to a place of negativity and closemindedness?

It took me a few painful lessons in this against ME to get me to realize the truth of this. Then I came to understand that my friend’s situation is hers, alone…her opinion, her coloring of the truth, one side of a story, her personal wounding, her beliefs, etc…all of this can create the story in such a way as to make her look like the victim, when in fact she may have started the entire episode with her words or her expectations.

I learned that I can support her truth of the situation without hard charging into the fray at her back. Instead, I can hear her, listen to her complaints, offer my thoughts and solace. But I cannot condemn another for actions that took place outside of my experience. I have to base my opinions and thoughts on my understanding of the truth and my experience.

So ask yourself the next time you find yourself about to engage in furthering the negative talk about a person, a business or a group “is this MY truth? Or is this XXX’s truth?” Potentially, if you are around the person being maligned, give them a chance, offer a kind word or allow yourself to soften your stance as an opening to the truth. You may be surprised at how uninformed you were.

In my work I help so many folks who are living with deep wounds and this pain creates a filter through which they see the world and the actions, words and behaviors of others. Small slights become a big deal. Often they have an expectation that people are against them. So every person is scrutinized and judged with this filter that tells them to watch out, she isn’t to be trusted, he is dangerous…The lack of an invitation can lead to a war with someone completely innocent of doing anything wrong. Their wounding can build and embellish the situation, fueling it with retelling and a twist of the truth gathering people to their side and soon, many are feeling negative against someone who has never crossed their path. Do you see how the filter of wounding and mob mentality can create such drama as to make boundary lines between groups of people–all begun by one person and her skewed view as a victim?

We need to reclaim our truth in dealing with this type of situation. Sit back and listen. Offer positive feedback, and reasonable understanding. If you hear someone going on and on to anyone who will listen to their sad tale, think of the filter and her reason for the campaign against another. Gently suggest that she protests too much and might need to look at what she is actively doing.

Be in your TRUTH.

Namaste,

Let Go & Up-Level

Good Morning Beloved Souls, Change is in the air and we are all feeling it in massive ways! Astrologically, we have ended an 18 month cycle of being opened, churned and purged. This has made way for us to up-level. We are freer now of our past than ever before. While there may still be more coming up for a quick examination, it should easy to let go and move ahead with deeper understanding and appreciation for what you have been through. For some, the traumas were big and ugly and it took you to your knees as they came up again and tried to engage you, darken your outlook and keep you in victim mode. For others, beliefs and experiences you felt you had put behind you, came into the Light and once again, you wrestled with them–however, this time, you triumphed by feeling & releasing the emotions fully and completely. Once faced, most fears have little to no power over you.
So BRAVO! We are now free to upgrade our energy, our lives, our manifestations, our beliefs, our connections to others and see with new eyes what is out there being pulled to us by our heart. This is a time to go within, for it is within that you mine for Gold. Within is the KEY to EVERYTHING. Meditate, meditate, meditate…Find the gift of stillness. Be in quiet space with soothing instrumental music. Create comfort for yourself in your home. Soon you will crave the sweet surrender of quietly tuning in to your inner sanctuary. Truth is spoken here. Only truth, no ego, no small-minded ideas, only truth. BE in the stillness and when Spirit whispers to you, listen. Hear without doubt. Listen.
This is how we raise our vibrations, how we shift our lives into one of grace and beauty. Be open and aware, free of judgment and scorn. See with kind eyes and the world will unfold in ever-more magnificent and magical ways. Sit for a moment now, and just quietly breathe it in…anchoring and expanding all the Love that you ARE…
Namaste,
Beth

Soul Mates, Twin Flames & Divine Missions

Hello Beloved Souls, We wish to speak to you of Soul Mates, Twin Flames and Divine Missions. Humans love to assign a romantic view to all of these titles. Yet often, the choice made between souls is to hammer out and finish a deep, often painful lesson. Not quite the romantic fluff imagined by those hoping for a loving and peaceful relationship. This is not to say that there is only strife and difficulty, nay, for many there is a great sharing of love and concern for one another—but when the point of karma—the learning that must be attempted to clear arrives, the couple may or may not weather the storm of learning intact. We call these Soul Mates. A decision by 2 souls to complete a karmic learning—not a punishment—by working together and trying to see the truth of the lesson and arrive at the depth of understanding required to learn. Soul Mates come to lesson together, clashing and working to move through the predestined situation which will bring a level of ease and hopefully growth at the conscious level.
Twin Flames are a different kind of coupling. Twin Flames can be two souls on a common mission who agree to join forces energetically tying themselves together to ensure greater success. There may or may not be a romantic agreement between them. They may become business partners, friends, leaders in an arena of similar pursuits(saving the oceans, no kill shelters, etc) where their passion to complete their mission is of top priority to them. Another type of Twin Flame is where one soul wishes to explore both aspects of masculine and feminine while partnering together. The soul separates and the two aspects are birthed as a man and a woman. Often this is a cohesive, sexual and joyful union. While in fact, it is truly, re-union of one soul. This is the romantic, dreamy type of relationship that is conjured up with the talk of Twin Flames. Because they source from the same soul, often their wants, temperaments and likes are similar and they enjoy being together rather than being apart.
Divine Mission is often agreed to by souls who wish to combine forces and do the work together. If there is a mission for a soul, and often the same missions are given to thousands of souls, they may choose to work on this together. Either as twos and threes, it can grow into the 1000’s depending on the need of the mission. Soul Mates and Twin Flames often choose to take on Divine Missions as it becomes a focus for their relationship and it enables a greater success rate for missions. Many at this time are here on mission to enable Earth to thrive/survive—think of all of the young couples living “off the grid” in peaceful existence with Mother Earth. They have traded financial wealth for inner peace and gentle living with experience being their bounty. Notice how many healers have emerged of late…so many are heeding their inner calling to help mankind move into the 5th dimension. This can only happen if the past is healed and balance is restored on a person by person basis. There are many, many lessor Divine Missions that are to be undertaken by a person alone.
All is well, we leave you to ponder this… The Council of Eight Channeled by Beth Brown-Rinella

The magic of Witches abounds

Ah Witches…what an intriguing word! It invokes so many ideas…power, spells, danger, death, nature…It can create fear in the ignorant or the uninformed. It is a word that can conjure up images of small cottages with herbs hanging from the rafters, cauldrons, old books with spells(Grimoires) and a woman alone, making her way in the world with skills of healing and magical knowing. History tells us that being a woman was difficult, being a woman with a connection to the energies of the earth and having abilities to create herbal medicines and heal, midwifery, and THE SIGHT were often deadly. The patriarchal religious sect created a fear-based vibration felt throughout Europe and America of mistrust and otherworldly horror…Women paid a very high price for this. This is not meant to be a lesson in a history we all know about, instead, I wish to honor Witches and all they do to love on this planet, improve their lives and those they care about. I wish to salute the power of their knowledge of the elements, energy, and how to expand and diminish power at will. You are brave, beautiful and important. You are powerful and enigmatic. You are part of the solution and I hope for you to be able to stand out and proud of the long legacy of women that you represent. Let us all put away the ignorant fears and embrace the knowledge that Witches are just like us, with different and awesome abilities and interests. Their credo according to The Pagan’s Path is “…the right of all people to practice their own path of spirituality. As long as that path does not bring harm or injury to any living being.” While this is not my personal path, I see that there is a warmth and friendly helpfulness to most of the witches that I have met. Let us all remember that we choose a path that speaks to our hearts, and witches love this planet, the animals, plants and elements that are here. They are not what Hollywood and fear-based religions would have you believe…So this October open your minds and let go of false fears and go hug a Witch!

This month is dedicated to MAGIC! Find the Magic in all things natural…like trees and their turning leaves, how the wind feels across your face with your eyes closed, how cool or warm the water of the ocean, how cozy it makes a room when you light candles and how you feel when you carry crystals close to your heart. Magic isn’t locked away, it is EVERYWHERE!! Isn’t there magic in a baby’s smile? Puppy breath? A sweet kiss with your beloved? Dedicate October to rediscovering Magic every day in many forms…Namaste, Beth
