As a natural born hugger, I find that when I am hugging, not only do I give, but I also receive, which is a perfect exchange of energy.  Studies have proved that even a 10 second hug can improve your health, lower the risk of heart disease, fight infections, reduce stress, fight fatigue and so on.
 
There is no season or reason for a hug, so why don’t you start today...
 
Here are twelve vibrational reasons to give and receive hugs..

1.Hugging is healthy.  
2.It helps the body's immune system & diminish pain.  
3.It helps reduce high blood pressure.
4.It heals depression & helps combat loneliness. 
5.It reduces stress & increases self esteem.  
6.It's rejuvenating.  
7.It has no unpleasant side effects.  
8.It is God's miracle drug!  
9.It is all natural, it contains no chemicals, artificial ingredients, no pesticides, & no preservatives!
10.Hugging is practically perfect.  
11.There are no parts to break down, no monthly payments, non-taxable, non-polluting, & of course...
12.It's fully returnable! 
 
And no excuses if you are alone!!  You can still receive a hug.  Take your left arm and wrap it around your right side and your right arm and wrap it around your left side and hug yourself.  Call it a virtual vibrational hug from me.
 
Lastly, remember, "A hug is the one present that's always worth giving!"

​Author & lecturer Leo Buscaglia (known as Dr. Love) told of a time he was asked to, through a contest, find the most caring child.
 
What I love about these stories is the vibrational frequency that is emitted from a child’s heart.  Below is the winner and some of the other heartwarming innocence that comes from children who see everything unconditionally.  Sometimes we need to look through the eyes of a child to really SEE!!!
 

A four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old Gentleman's' yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I
just helped him cry.'


Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture
had a different hair color than the other members. One of her students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about Adoption, I was adopted..'
'What does it mean to be adopted?', asked another child.
 'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'
  

On my way home one day, I stopped to watch a Little League base ball game that was being played in a
park near my home. As I sat down behind the bench on the first-base line, I asked one of the boys what the score was  'We're behind 14 to nothing,' he answered with a smile.
 'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you don't look very discouraged.'
 'Discouraged?', the boy asked with a puzzled look on his face... 'Why should we be discouraged? We haven't been up to bat yet.'
  

Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.
 Jamie was trying out for a part in the school play. His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being in it, though she feared he would not be chosen.  On the day the parts were awarded, I went with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her, eyes shining with pride and excitement..  'Guess what,
Mom,' he shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to me....'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'
  
Stories taken from the 3rd Serving of Chicken Soup for the Soul

Back in mid August 2018, I was approached by Sedona Journal of Emergence to submit a channelling for their 2019 Predictions issue.  As always I am honored when asked to see what spirit want to share with us all.  The channelled message I received from my “A” team (as I call them) was chosen and published. 
 
I promised you once it was published I would share it with you all....
 
This is the message spirit shared with me for 2019 and beyond.... I truly hope it gives you some enlightenment as this vibrational message is about seeking out the spiritual truth that resides within us all.
 
  
 
The truth is what you dear ones should always deem to seek out, no matter what the consequences. 
In your humanness your perception... it can sometimes be clouded by what you want to see rather than what is there right in front of your eyes...... this can sometimes happen due to the integration of others sharing insights in their awareness...... based on their beliefs..... this can sometimes trip you up.... catching you in a void of confusion and questioning based on your belief system.  Although for us, time is not of the essence, we share that during the months leading into 2019 through to the end of April stepping into your own awareness will prove to greatly assist you in seeing what is there before you.

If you believe in something... you need to continue to seek it out.... in the higher frequency of unconditional love ..... there you will find the insights and the truth...  it will always revealed.   

Nothing can be hidden forever.... because it is heart centred....... when you connect to that frequency all will be exposed... shown.... in pure Technicolor....

There is a sense of growing insecurity on your planet, and this frequency causes many to grasp at the illusion that resides in their ego.... a place of self centred doubt.... hesitation.... even distrust in their life.... their world.... it is a form of spiritual unhappiness.

When this distraction rises up from within dear ones....  you can, if stuck in that frequency, start to spiral into the oblivion of ego set beliefs.  At this time we are trying to share with you that, if in your awareness you feel this happening to you....  to recalibrate and connect to the truth... the purpose of YOUR journey....don’t get into a holding pattern ..... into a vacuum of unconsciousness.  As you venture through 2019 this will to evolve for you all if you just trust within your heart.

We share that there is no such thing as security in life.......... that you are your security.

You are your conscious creator – of your life... and ONLY your life is what matters to us. 

Each of you in your consciousness can tap into that frequency....... that vibration and release the doubts... the fear....

All that is you is within the divine principal... because there are no mistakes made.  Even if you think there are... whether by us... ..... by others .... or by you....    Let go of those thoughts and remember that you are EXACTLY where you should be... who you should be in every given moment... in divine spiritual essence.
You are the whole conscious intelligent energy that you have always been... the whole spirit of you... in holy-ness ..... in one consciousness in what you choose and what you allow others to chose for you. 

Your soul has to remember that everything starts and ends with you... right now... in this moment..in any given moment.... keep this as your guiding star through this year of 2019, the truth will be revealed and with it comes consequences as you move into the latter part of the year.

You are the creator of your world.... of YOU....

When you have been hurt.... upset... disappointed.... you are in distress and this reflects on everything around you triggering both inside and outside of you.  When you step into that frequency ....that energy and you are not in conflict with your SELF.... and can stand within the silence of your soul... your vibration..... you see and hear exactly what you need to do .... you feel...so you can clear away that obstacle....inviting it to become Already Healed.... letting go....

When the reflection hurts, it is triggering something within that you need to know ... be in awareness of... see..... once you do... clear it.... clear it with love of self.

You need you to remember that there are no imperfections... no limitations.... the only restraints in your life is what you have invited into your frequency.  It is time for clear hearing.... awareness of your  thoughts ......understanding  that there is no more being powerless. 

It is allowing the knowledge of understanding of who you are... what you are... and where you are...
If you decide to stay within the fear...... not to move away from the comfort zone within your life.... if you make the decision to stay rigid ....  inflexible to what your soul needs.... that is your decision.  We cannot make you see or do any differently because you are in control of YOUR thoughts.

But is it because you are afraid that if you step out of your comfort zone things will be different... of course they will.... but only YOU matter.  If you can’t focus on the now... here.... you are nowhere.

This is the time in your world to use words in consciousness allowing the divine connection to be your guiding star.... even if you cannot fully understand every principle of what you are given.  Hold it within your heart .... because in your time it will revealed...

This is the time to let go of your excuses.... you are not part of your environment... your surroundings, they are a part of you... every part of you.  So what resides within you.... the good, bad and everything in between is what is being reflected from you.... to you.... in every vibrational essence. 

Your frequency can explore or experience all the facets of your lifetime based on what you invite into your soul... love.... hate.... abundance.... poverty..... each pole connector has a negative and positive influence... it is not that one is better than the other .... more powerful ..... they are just influences taking the balance from one side to the other... like when you were a child ....sitting on a see-saw (teeter totter) ... if there was just one person on each side it was in balance... like a set of scales.  But when more people got on one side than the other it would either rise or fall..... creating a difference in frequency.  If people got off too quickly it could flip the see-saw so whomever is on the other side is affected by it.  Life is a see-saw that is continually in balance... with you... others around you.... the world.... when it gets off balance you get the choice to stay there or jump off and get back on the other side of it.

All we can ask, is that you are consciously in your awareness of how what you do... think... say ... can influence others.... in either a encouraging way .... or in a harmful way.  So only you can be your see-saw in life.... and others theirs.   It is you who decides what you keep or disregard ..... thoughts... influences.

It is your soul purpose to be in this life to achieve what you have deemed was necessary for you.
 
Only you can transform the way you look at life... so we invite you, when needed to change and embrace your frequency in your ever learning spiritual connection in 2019.

We are the Centre of A, vibrational blessings to you all.

As we draw closer to that season where some of you may feel overwhelmed unnecessarily in relationship to money, I want to share with you a vibrational way to attract abundance and let go of ANY struggles you have in your conscious mindset over accepting wealth and riches to yourself.



You don’t have to choose between being spiritual and having money!! 

Money is a spiritual asset. 

The deeper connection you have within your heart with anything, yes, money included, invites it towards you, because it IS a vibration.  It is just the way we choose to bring that vibration into our life.  As it was shared with me many moons ago, the word money has an “m” before the word “one”, followed by the letter “y”. 

Take a moment to ponder on that, because everything is about the I AM.  I am deserving .... or not..... inviting in the vibration of your one-ness.

It following letter was something someone shared with me many moons ago.  Yes, I have revamped it, and you of course are invited to add to it further, based on your perspective.  In other words, this is not the ONLY way to manifest prosperity.  
Vibrational Blessings Debbie A. Anderson 

Dear Money,

Please accept this letter from me apologizing for thinking you were hard to get and ultimately thinking I didn’t deserve you.

I know your abundance is unlimited and I can receive it, because I am now open to take delivery of whatever prosperity you send to me. 

I’m sorry for thinking that if I had more of you I would feel guilty.  I choose to love you positively, and have opened myself to receive you with love and gratitude.

I know you are there to serve my highest good.

I love you & look forward to our new relationship.

I love you money.

Sunday, November 11, 2018 at 11am is sequential 11. 

This is a time for you to be present and intentional in your thoughts as manifestation on your focus (thoughts) is what will transpire.

Seeing the number 1 repeating itself is a VERY positive sign, and a VERY powerful vibrational time for focusing your heart centred thoughts on what you  want, need and desire in your life.

It is a time to release any negative emotions that maybe holding you back from achieving the transformation within you.... so as the movie FROZEN states... let it go, let it go, let it go.....

This gateway of the duality of the Oneness is open to inviting us to walk on our pathway of Universal love and acceptance.  KNOWING, yep, that’s right, knowing that whatever you either positively or negatively think (the dual edged sword) influences us at this time.  I know I will be open to whatever new and exciting synchronistic activation spirit sends to me, in total Vibrational Trust!

I have shared with many of you, that this year, 2018 is the year of shedding off anything that is holding us back.  Digging up any skeletons that we buried without releasing... letting go of ANYTHING that no longer serves us.  This eleventh month, just like the eleventh hour in decision making is very integral... and opening up that energetic gateway into our spiritual realm of completeness.

Remember the only thing you own is your thoughts, so be wise to what you invite in at this time.  This is a VERY clear and concise message from our angels, guardians and spirit helpers/guides.  Therefore your thoughts can and will manifest into your reality.

So, what will you take the time to focus on at 11am on November 11, 2018? 

The list is infinite and only you and your beliefs will bring you into your vibrational enlightenment.

How do you manifest at this time?  Easy, sit in peace and quietness, (yes, that means turning off your electronics) at 11am (wherever in the world you live) and set your intention to what you want, need and desire within your life... your world... our Universe.  The choice is yours. 

Sit and listen to what that intentional vibration means to you.  That means connecting in your heart, not your head. 

Take some nice gentle breaths.  Breathe in what you need, want, desire and as you breathe out release what you no longer need-anything that doesn't serve you.  Continue doing this over and over again.... slowly.... listening to your heart as you feel what it is sharing with you.... do this for ONE MINUTE... yes, wow, that long!!! 

If you are NOT sure that what you want is right for you.... add to the end of your request.... this or something to my highest good..... or this or something better.  That way you are not locked into anything other than what spirit feel is what you need based on your request (smile).

When the minute is finished, thank your guides, helpers, angels... the Universe... take one last nice cleansing breath, and let it go.  Now go and enjoy the rest of the day knowing you have taken the time for that connection with 11 : 11 : 11 : 11.

​Just lately I have been given messages in so many forms and in both waking and sleep state through meditation and dreams.  So when I get these messages, signs, symbols what can I do with them?
 
Well, for me, I ask spirit to clarify as the day goes on if I have encountered the information in dream state.  Usually I find as the day unfolds that more and more information is given to me... and again this can be though heartfelt connections, symbols or metaphors.  So it is up to me to piece this puzzle together-which I love to do.
 
So when I recently got pyramids in two different formats-dream and meditation, I invited in the possibilities on what that could mean to me personally and also with the bigger picture scenario too. 
 
Usually I clarify or confirm things I have been given by researching online, reading books and so on.  It is called processing.  But the other element that isn’t written in stone, is what does something mean to us on a personal level... what does it invoke, bring forth into our conscious vibrational mind?  And this is where you begin to create your own book of thoughts, feelings and spiritual senses... because after all, they do all come from within you.
 
Although I have never truly been attracted to visit Egypt or the pyramids, for me when they come into my life through dream, meditation, I connect with both the possibility of alien encounters on our earth or beings of a higher level of consciousness than our humanness.  Because even if I look at the possibility of thousands of slaves creating them, at some point a divine creator/architect had to draw up very intricate plans and know how they would work, because when the first one was built, there were no prototypes to align them with, in our world at least. 
 
So, now let’s look at what pyramids mean to me personally, and try and put some context into the way I came to my conclusions.  Pyramids are triangles, which to mean personally bring forth the concept of the trilogy of life – whether that is father, son & holy ghost; past, present and future; beginning, middle & end or heaven, earth, water.  Plus all the other amazing connections relating to the number three, such as the third dimension; three phases of the moon; creative power; moving forward; manifestation and so on.
 
The pyramids to me also hold secrets, not only of the souls buried within them but a bit like us with the skeletons we hide in our respective closets, the tomb holds enigmas and symbology that in some cases has yet to be deciphered. 
 
It is also about mystery, the bigger picture, astral travel, rituals and spirituality.  It can be a symbol of death, as it is a crypt.  But not in the sense of actual death, for me it is about re-birth, new beginnings within my higher self.  Elevating my “self” to connect and emerge within my soul bringing greater spiritual significance. 
 
I sat for a while today and allowed my beautiful group, the Centre of A to channel, and here is what I received.
 
Connecting with the divine is sacred, so this bridge of information is a vital communication with the earth, your mother at this time.  This is just one of the many special messages that will be sent to light workers around the Universe to connect with, to work with and keep the symbol within their soul frequency.  The pyramid received will transform into an interconnection of three levels within itself, so imagine a pyramid within a pyramid, within itself again, but each sitting just slightly off centre to themselves creating a star like pattern.  Each of these “points” will emit a shaft of light creating a spectrum of maybe one or many colors depending up how it needs to be activated.  This pyramid shape will be centred in the heart chakra, but will be communicated to the third eye when activated, brought into use. This is about the Law of Earth, raising the dimensions from third to eighth level, and beyond, each holding, giving out their own density frequency.  Bringing towards you the inner divine that connects the balance of your two identities.. the real existence of consciousness connected to the unconditional love of your self, your earth, your universal spiritual awareness.  There is a great need... requirement for your earth to be reconnected to itself in what we call a planetary web.  This to you would be like seeing a spider’s web that when the threads are broken the spider repairs them bridging the labyrinth... this is where the light is used in conjunction with vibrational sound.  This is what was encoded within... predetermined.  Each internal pyramid will connect with each external pyramid allowing the vibrational activation to be complete.  Wait, the time is coming, more will be given when we are ready.
 
Within each of us is the sacredness of our divine.  Whether this translates to pyramids, unicorns or other mystical experiences, it doesn’t matter.  It is about your interpretation on these connections and what they mean to you.  If you haven’t already stated journaling, I invite you to begin today and see what messages you receive to assist you along your pathway.

In the work I do as a clairvoyant medium, I have many beautiful experiences through spirit as they connect with me, especially when I am doing a reading for someone.
 
Every reading is different, but when spirit unite with their loved ones here on earth, it is always with pure unconditional love.
 
Many times the reason someone comes for a reading is to find out how their loved one is doing after passing into spirit, or as I call it, crossing over to the other side.  They want reassurance on many things, but some of the most memorable questions are... Did they arrive safely?  Who was there to meet them?  Has their pain gone? How are they doing now?
 
Spirit, because they are still connected with us through the “love” vibration, know these are our concerns so these questions seem to always show me, that spirit want us to be reassured that they are doing well, the pain has gone, and they are happy.
 
I like to share with people the analogy, that it is like someone we love, going on vacation and not knowing if anyone will be there, that they know, to meet them.  In our humanness, we can get concerned for that traveller, because this is something new, something unfamiliar and because we love them, we want it to all be good. 
 
I am blessed to convey, that no one leaves this world alone, that they are always met by someone on the other side.  Usually, if we have been present at the end of that soul’s journey, they may have from time to time near the end, seem to be either looking in the distance at something we cannot see with our human sight, or talking to someone who is not us.  This is spirit connecting that person with what I like to call their travel buddy. 
 
This is usually, but not always, someone they know and love that has already passed over.  A family member, a friend, and even on occasions a pet that they loved and cared for in life.
 
All their questions are answered and although it may seem like a new and uncharted journey, they are being reminded that this is not the first time they have done this.  Our soul, in human form forget a lot of the details so they are reassured everything has been taken care of for them, and that they are there waiting for them, when they are ready to leave this vibration, this incarnation.
 
In the past, when someone came to see me, it was usually some time after the person had crossed over.  But what I am finding now,  because of the immense love vibration that has grown due to the ascension of souls in the past few years, is spirit are consenting those going through their transition, to come back almost immediately to reassure their loved ones all is well.
 
One of the factors I am noticing is that those here who have said goodbye to a loved one are getting more perceptive to them being around them.  What I share is that sometimes spirit send us a message in a hope we can connect to that vibration to know it is them.  Many times during a reading that clarification has been confirmed and reassurance given so that loved one knows they can
connect themselves, but in a different vibration.
 
I try to remind people that when someone leaves this world, that any memory that we have of them, connects us to them, and the highest form of connection is through the love vibration.  What I mean by that is when our memory connects with that person in spirit in joy, love and with affection, that thread becomes stronger, so the person on the other side can send back down messages that we will see, sense, feel or hear in some way.
 
Some people have told me that when they see a butterfly they know it is a certain person, the same type of bird that comes into their garden to visit them, and so on.  We just have to connect the dots to understand. 
 
Here is an example of someone who passed into spirit.  The messages I received from them for their loved one covered many things including the sense that he would “show” himself as something floating, which I interpreted as something like a butterfly, bird, feather etc.  Throughout the reading the color blue kept coming up through his memories, and because this soul was so loving and caring during their journey here on earth, they wanted to still be around in the lives of those they loved. 
 
The person sitting there then shared that just recently a Blue Jay had been visiting their garden, and they had even said, “hey I think that is dad keeping an eye on us”.  They asked “could it be him”?  We looked at each other and smiled, she then connected all the dots from the reading to get her own confirmation. 
 
Sometimes it isn’t always that simple, but when we are open, heart centred, we are more likely to sense that communication from spirit.
 
Because there has been an increased amount of uncertainty relating to this,due to people opening up spiritually, there seem to more questions than answers.  Spirit has suggested I offer some insights to those opening up on their journey.  Therefore I am pleased to offer a new service that I call Spiritual Clarity.  It is a 30 minute phone or Skype session where you can ask whatever questions you like related to my work, opening up on your spiritual journey and so on. 
 
Meanwhile I invite you to be open to receive your own connection with spirit, your loved ones who have crossed over to the other side in the vibration of love.
 
Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson

Every day I try to make time to meditate, to connect for myself.  To gain insights, realignment, and of course to link into that inner peace that sometimes seems to get forgotten in our busy lives.

In my work I have always been blessed to be privy to things, even in that mist or fog of not truly knowing what was being shared, until later on.  You know what I am talking about. 

We get the signs, the indicators, and yes, we listen, but sometimes spirit don’t fully share with us what this will translate to until it is all ready to unfold... and YES, ultimately it is in their timeline not ours.   And although, for me, patience isn’t a virtue I am embracing, I usually get it when the curtains are opened and the story unfolds before me.

Today I spent longer than usual, contemplating things with people I hold near and dear to my heart, namely my father, and a dear friend who always believed in me, no matter if I had any human related doubts about my work and direction - both are now in spirit.   As always, my guides and helpers were close by my side allowing me to tap into whatever messages, insights or connections they felt would guide and assist me during this time of introspection.

While meditating and connecting to my higher self, spirit channeled these words that I am sharing with you all because I don’t think they are just for me alone.  

At this time dear children the earth is in transition, it has held within it centuries of pains, angers & frustrations that have been “rooted” from the ancestors for thousands upon thousands of Universal years.  The eruptions and disturbances she has released are a reflection of the inner hurt she has held onto and now needs to liberate and let go of..... just as you, dear ones, have been doing. 

Loving thy self, learning to put self doubts and fears to one side, to be connected to your vibrational frequency in alignment with all that you need to do at this time. So we ask you to allow that soul essence to free itself....vibrating for your deliverance.

We have always invited you to strive for integrity, honor and the truth that resides within each of you, and for many the years since 2012 you have worked on what you need to, to make a difference to you.  Moving, releasing, shifting and letting go of anything that is no longer required within your spiritual enlightenment.  You have done well.  You have placed your trust in your heart and moved out of your limbic mind into this sanctuary allowing new DNA to be activated. Letting go of some, if not all of the pain that you carried with you.. new paradigms, new frequencies, new opportunities are there for many of you. 
For those not shifting from the 2nd and 3rd dimensions into the 4th, 5th and 6th dimensional reality, they will stay there, but that is their choice.  For those who try to transition, based on lies and untruths they will not move forward, but stay in a looping vortex not realizing it is them that holds them there.

During the past few (human) years we have realigned many ,yet at the same time removed some from the energy work they felt they were doing.  This is all as it was ordained.  For anyone who is still doubting that the truth will set them free, need to become heart centred and let go of the jealousy, the hatred, the fear that has been rooted in their heart.... for this will consume them.

By July/August time the realignment will be coming to a close, but what it opens up is the opportunity for you our dear ones to see through the eyes of your soul, with the help of the light beings who are already coming amongst you.  Each of you has your task, your role to fulfil, so do it with dignity and embrace the vibrational joy that you deserve.  All that we offer you is with love.  For you to love each other, to help each other because this is not about struggle or rivalry, this is about each one of you being on your sacred journey, heart centred.   

We are of love, you are of love and these are things you have forgotten along the way .... they became dormant in the earth, deep down under the hurt, anxiety and oppressive tendencies.   Light workers, healers and energy workers will be called upon to assist others with their awakening, by sending them love, pure unconditional love... no judgement will be there.  For those not tuned into this, if, in their work, they are of false heart, controlling or manipulating others it will be acknowledged, not punished because that is not something we do to you.

You will feel the weight lifting from your shoulders, from your heart and centre yourself on the frequency of loving you, loving others and being at peace with you.

We are the Centre of A, vibrational blessings to you all.

​As I remind you all, only you can make you feel small... average... run of the mill.  But everything in life is perspective.  Yours, mine ... and of course others.
 
"The Star Thrower" or "Starfish Story"* is a parable.  A simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson.  It is vibrational because I feel it reminds us that we each have the power to make a difference in our life... and in the life of others. 
 
Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions. 
 
Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching.  As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea.  The boy came closer still and the man called out, “Good morning!  May I ask what it is that you are doing?”
 
The young boy paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t return to the sea by themselves,” the youth replied. “When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water.”
 
The old man replied, “But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I’m afraid you won’t really be able to make much of a difference.”
 
The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, “It made a difference to that one!”
 
Just take a breath, do something to help others and NEVER assume it won’t make a difference.  Every journey starts with one energy being taking that step, making that change... however big or small your steps are today, tomorrow, next week... take them and remember the vibration of being you.
 
Vibrational Blessings Debbie
 
*"The Star Thrower" (or "starfish story") is part of a 16-page essay of the same name by Loren Eiseley (1907–1977), published in 1969 in The Unexpected Universe. The Star Thrower is also the title of a 1978 anthology of Eiseley's works (including the essay), which he completed shortly before his death.
 

I have to admit that I haven’t written a blog in some time, and it isn’t for the lack of trying.  Today I am sharing a beautiful blog written by a friend of mine, Caroline Kimsey, amazing healer and all round spiritual vibration. 
 
It is heart-felt, and that is very important... it focuses on us, loving us first and foremost, something I try to remind you... and myself.  So read, interpret and absorb what fits in your world in this moment.  
 
Hearts are appearing everywhere reminding us of this wonderful energy we have inside of us.  Our heart energy is always elevated and vibrates fully when we practice self love.  Self Love being the true knowing of who we are and healing the parts of us that separate us from our authentic self allowing us to have a respectful, kind and loving relationship with our self which then will emanate into all our relationships.  The wisdom of Shakespeare still encourages us to be the best we can today: “This Above All, To thine own self be true.”
 
I know every one of us is on our own healing journey in whatever way we feel guided to.  I think this is the true gift of self love because until we can address, go through our wounds and come out the other side, we cannot heal them.  Building these new foundations or planting these healthy gardens is our gift to our “self” and I know it takes courage.  I applaud you all for loving yourselves enough to have the courage to do this and for the change you make to the collective energy with each step to wholeness you take.
 
Every one of us struggles with judgment. We judge other people's politics, words, clothing, appearance, parenting choice etc, etc, etc.  To the point that we don't even notice anymore! It has become a habit/addiction usually started in childhood by those around us and then carried on. Also it is something we can turn on ourselves perpetuating the untruths people told us over our lives.  Next time you notice you are judging yourself or others instead of listening to the words take a moment to listen to the voice.  If you listen carefully you will probably begin to identify other people - parent’s maybe? Peers? Friends? Work Colleagues? Note other peoples' judgements you have taken on and use.  When we do this, it's much easier to stop, as we can see how this is not OUR heart speaking.   
 
Judgement is the opposite too self love, no matter who it is directed too.  It's a habit that you can break with mindfulness and it will give you a lot more peace when you do.   Gabrielle Bernstein, author of Judgment Detox: Release the Beliefs That Hold You Back from Living a Better Life wrote this:
 
Judging gives you a hangover 
When we judge, we get an instant hit of self-righteousness, but subconsciously we know we're separating ourselves from who we really are: compassionate, kind people. As a result, we feel guilty once our high wears off—and to avoid that feeling, we have to judge someone else. This cycle weakens us mentally and physically. 

Judging isolates you 
We develop addictions because we're trying to numb a core wound, which is usually rooted in childhood. Maybe someone told you that you weren't good enough, or you experienced some other kind of trauma that left you feeling all alone. To avoid experiencing that pain again, you project it onto others by pointing out their flaws. Our fear leads us to attack—but re-enacting the trauma of the past only creates more loneliness and disconnection. 

Judging prevents healing
You have to be willing to look at your darkness in order to see the light. That's why the first step in a judgment detox is just to witness it without blaming ourselves. We judge because we're separated from love; to stop the cycle, we have to cultivate self-love. The second step is to honor that core wound. Next time you have the urge to judge, ask yourself what moment from the past is triggering you to feel this way. When we can understand ourselves, healing begins. 

Judging leaves you powerless
Many people feel safer when they judge, as if they're controlling their circumstances, but hatred only creates more hatred. Those hours you might spend fuming about the news, for instance, could be used in a more positive way, like volunteering for a cause you care about, engaging in creative projects or spending quality time with people you love. Recovering from judgment addiction gives us back our power and lifts up everyone around us, too. 

To heal the world, we have to live the truth in every corner of our lives. Recovery isn't easy—but when we let go of judgment, we make room for love and joy. It's like staying sober: You can't really enjoy a drink again because you know how good it feels to live without it.

I certainly couldn’t have written this better than Caroline, so I give heartfelt thanks for her sharing this with us all.  We cannot begin to walk our walk.. speak our truth until we love our “self” first and foremost, and most of all doing that unconditionally.
 
This month is February, the month of love, so start cultivating and nurturing you with the love YOU deserve.  It takes practice.. and we all know practice makes perfect.
