Continuous from “The New Twin Flame - Challenging the concept of a false flame  based on Christianty’s B.C ( Before Christ) // A.D (After Death) philosophy.

This theory is continuous based on Christianity’s B.C (Before Christ) and A.D (After Death) in this writing you will discover a unique guideline of events to coin the concept of “oracle twin flames” and “crossover twin flames.” Twin flames are modern day prophets.

In this thesis, I will further challenge the concept of a Twin Flame only being one person, and support my research with  evidence based on the concept of the religious beliefs of Jesus and christians B.C // A.D ideology. 

What is an Oracle Twin flame and what is a cross over twin flame? Crossover Twin Flame are the textbook definition of twin flames, divine mirror souls. However, In the  concept of an oracle twin flame it is  a set of  twin flames dividing their mirror soul into two diverse beings to help release the old world order (B.C) to welcome a new world order (A.D).

The common concepts of the twin flames Philosophy is that you can only have one. After deeply studying the ideology  of Twin Flames for nearly a decade, in 2019 I challenged this Philosophy. In my opinion, EVERYONE on earth has a different spiritual journey, this includes the journey of Twin Flames. 

The philosophy of my theory is that while all twin flames are modern day prophets, some of those prophets are also oracles. This means  both twins' journeys in this lifetime  will consist of dividing their mirror soul into two diverse humans the B.C flame and then the A.D flame.

Please note: Crossover flames are twin flames by the textbook definition. These flames have crossed over from “the old world order” (before 2020)  into “the new world order” (after 2020) together in union: celebrity examples include Big Sean + Jhene Aiko and Kayne West + Kim Kardashian and Arod + Jlo. 

What are B.C + A.D flames and why is this happening to oracle twin flames?

images provided via instagram account via ella_a

This theory plays on the Christian Philosophy of Before the Death of Christ (B.D) and After the Death of Christ . One Twin Flame is meant to destroy/kill your ego state (B.C flame) so that you can be BORN again, with this rebirth you become in  divine alignment and  attract your A.D flame, the one you are meant to union with in this lifetime.

This is the FIRST lifetime this is happening to oracle twin flames. 

Why is this happening?

This is happening because we are welcoming a new reality that has never existed before, we are pioneering the matrix's HD world.

Before this lifetime, we only had two realities: 

1. The 5D world - spirit world. Synonyms: spiritual, night, moon, yin

2.  The 3D reality - where we are. Synonyms: reality, day, sun, yang 

The Sun and the Moon are the Twin Flames of the Earth, this is why we dream at night (spiritual/ moon ) and we’re up in the day (logical/ day). Just like the sun (logical) and the moon (spiritual) they are the divine energy sources which cause life to our world.

With this new HD reality that we are welcoming, it is causing the oracle twin flames to split their souls into two different people. This ideology coordinates with popular terminology “THE NEW WORLD ORDER” and the releasing of the old world order (B.C. ) which we are experiencing in 2020 (A.D).

Please note: This is not a theory that affects all twin flames, only oracle twin flames and while some oracle Twin Flames may not experience a false flame because of this, some of them still do experience a false flame BEFORE meeting their B.C flame.

In conclusion, the information above I believe my research has proven why the concepts above are directly coordinated with Christianity’s B.C. and A.D Philosophy.The above theory has proven a unique concept that unveils the idea that Twin Flames may not only be one person but because of the “new world order” better known as the new decade and redshift of 2020. Oracle Twin Flames may have divided their mirror soul into two beings. I believe this concept is happening to shed the old world beliefs and welcome the new .

Living in Abundance

With world in its current state, it’s honestly hard for people to continue to live with a attitude of abundance.

It’s extremely hard when you see people that need your help & you may not be able to help them because you’re trying to keep yourself afloat.

Put your mind at ease by thinking about how you can change somethings.

To live in abundance is to truly feel like you are covered in every way. Everything you need is supplied.

Here are a few tips to change your mindset into living in abundance.

• Be grateful for the things you do have, big or small.

• Walk & speak as if you already are experiencing the blessings.

• It’s literally about your intentions.

• You’ll have what you say only the intentions are right. You can’t manifest things you need or what if you’re intentions are not pure.

• You have to be consistent in your intentions to acquire the abundance you seek.

Live like it’s already yours.

The Wonderful Erykah Badu once said “To spell is a spell…”

As always,

Peace, Love, & Abundance,

Chakra Healing Through Your Food

In today’s climate of fighting through a global pandemic that’s still raging in some places, it’s important to not only keep your body physically healthy but spiritually healthy.

I find myself being more intentional with what I’m putting in my body. Especially since I fought the virus off from March to April. Once I was well enough to get back on my feet, I knew I needed to heal my chakras after being thrown so far off base. All of the colors of each chakra correspond to the food that helps to stimulate them.

So here’s a few chakra healing foods to help you get centered!

The Root Chakra:

It’s literally your base or root of your body. The Root Chakra is connected to financial independence, money matters & of course, food. The foods you want to eat to stimulate this chakra would be foods that are crimson or red in color. Here are a few:

• Beets

• Strawberries

• Tomatoes

• Chilies

The Sacral Chakra:

It’s right above your root chakra & it deals with your creativity, sexuality, & reproduction. It’s the emotional center for abundance, well-being, & pleasure. The foods that stimulate this specific chakra are:

• Orange

• Papaya

• Mango

• Pumpkin

• Cantaloupe

• Honey

The Solar Plexus Chakra:

This chakra is linked to your feelings of willpower, self-esteem, the ability to exercise control & confidence.

The foods for this specific chakra most are yellow. Here’s just a few:

• Banana

• Pineapple

• Apricots

• Yogurt

• Corn

• Whole Grains

• Cheese

The Heart Chakra:

The Heart Chakra is probably the most important of all of these. Let’s be honest, what’s in our heart is often reflected physically. The Heart Chakra is most associated with kindness, joy, inner peace, & compassion. So what we’re eating to nurture our heart & bodies is so important. Here’s a few heart foods to get you realigned:

• Broccoli

• Kale

• Lettuce

• Sprouts

• Tofu

• Brown Rice

• Lentils

The Throat Chakra:

The Throat Chakra is probably 1b when it comes to importance of having balance. Just like it’s important to be intentional to what you’re giving your heart & absorbing, your words are also important. This chakra is specifically associated with communication. Your words can cut like a knife or be as gentle as a breeze. Here’s some foods to help with your words:

• Blueberries

• Blackberries

• Kelp

• Dragonfruit

• Wheatgrass

• Ginseng

• Mushroom

The Third Eye Chakra:

*Rubs between my eye brows for other worldly vision* The lovely Third Eye. The all seeing eye as I like to call it. This chakra is impertinent when it comes to ideas, intuition, visualizations & perspectives. You are essentially seeing the big picture of situations. Personally speaking, my third eye hasn’t steered me wrong yet. This is the chakra that tells you the vibes are off. Listen to it. Here are some superfoods to activate & realign this chakra:

• Grapes

• Eggplant

• Black Currants

• Purple Carrots

• Purple Lettuce

The Crown Chakra:

This is the seventh & final chakra. The Crown. The literal top of your head. It took me two years into my yoga practice to activate my crown chakra. I did a handstand in class & my consciousness has been elevating since. That was 2017. Your Crown Chakra deals with your spiritual awakening, consciousness, inner wisdom, ability to be present, & seeking enlightenment. The only foods you need to activate this chakra are:

• Prayer

• Meditation

• Water

Aside from what I normally say about drinking water & minding your business, I’ll leave you with this, protect your energy. That includes feeding it properly. The way you take care of your body is a reflection of how you feel about yourself.

Embracing the Gemini New Moon

Even through a pandemic is going on, the cosmos is still moving.

We’re currently experiencing the energy of the Gemini new moon. It took effect on May 23rd, 2020 at 3:38am. The next Gemini moon will be a full moon on June 6th, 2020 at 5:12 am.

This Gemini new moon is to boost your energy levels. It also requires a greater need for communication & a desire to learn something fresh & new.

I have noticed that it affects the body. Personally, I’ve been tired the day before this new moon & the day after. I recently did my birth chart & my moon is in Gemini. Go figure right? One of the effects of the new moon that I can get with is the resting that occurs. This new moon energy leads to the high powered full moon. In some signs, this new moon boosts motivation. It’s also more intense than other new moons.

The new moon urges you to take action centered around expression of your passions.

This is probably the best opportunity to to embrace the new possibilities that will come your way.

Since we have an extended weekend, take some time to write down those intentions for this new moon & get ready to fly!

Finding Joy During a Pandemic

A lot of us have been have had shelter-in-place orders since March because of the Coronavirus pandemic. We’ve been inside for almost two months now, only leaving to get essential items or if we’re essential employees.

I’ve been working from home for a while now. Aside from actually getting sick from the Coronavirus, I’ve had time to re-evaluate the way life was pre-corona.

Although my regular routine of my life has come to a halt (sort of), even in the midst of perceived chaos, I’ve managed to find absolute joy!

My key to finding absolute joy was when my doctor finally released me from exercise restriction after having the Coronavirus was to start back running. After being forced to sit still, I was ready to get back out there. I exercised in the house at first only because I still had some unwavering PTSD about running outside, considering the day I found out that I might have been infected, I ran two miles by the levee.

Once I got over my fear of running outside again, I felt confident. I had this newfound joy of on my runs, taking pictures of New Orleans. It help me to realize how beautiful this place really is & how we as humans take our surroundings for granted.

I’ve been doing this for the last two weeks now. I makes me feel good to do it & show other people what I find so wonderful about my surroundings. It also pushes me to work harder in my runs. To dig deeper, to go farther but also to listen to my body.

I know this pandemic may be hard on a lot of people but I urge you not only do a weekly gratitude list in addition to purposely finding your joy during the week in the smallest things. I promise it will make everyday a little bit lighter & brighter.

& one more thing, find your joy, but Wear your mask & Mind your business!

As Always,

Peace, Love, & Joy,

Dom

The Gratitude List

I know that we’re going through a shift where our regular lives have all but come to a screeching halt.

Let’s not be in despair so much so that we forget that we do have things to be grateful for.

Last week, I laid on the couch in the sunroom. I felt the the sun’s rays on my skin for the first time in seventeen days after being in quarantine.

I took my journal & made my gratitude list.

I thought about who, what, when, & where that brought me joy in the first quarter of this year.

It doesn’t take a lot of time. It’s a really simple task.

At the end of every quarter, make a gratitude list.

By the end of the year, you’ll see that you’ve had an abundance of blessings sitting in your lap the whole time.

I’ll leave you with this notion, how do you ever expect to be blessed with what you ask for when you’re not even thankful for what you have now?

Competition

Last Sunday I had another clairvoyant episode with my grandmother.

I was in yoga.

During the stillness & quiet of the Savasana portion of class.

My eyes were closed, my palms open to receive whatever message the universe had for me.

The music stopped.

She came & sat next me on the mat to the left of me. Her hair was salt & pepper in color. Flowing to her shoulders. She had on a white gown. No shoes. She had this calming aura all around her.

I heard her voice.

She said, sweetly but firmly, “That word, competition, get that out of your spirit right now. You’re not in competition with anybody, not even yourself. You got this. I love you.”

And just like that she was gone & the music was on again.

A word from my nana to you all. Remember you are not in competition with anybody for anything. The life you are living is yours. Yours to live to fulfill not only your true purpose but to enjoy happiness & the fullness of each breath, each moment.

The 5 Keys to Happiness

I’m personally at a point in my life where I’m genuinely happy. Apparently I’ve been told that “I’m glowing from the inside, outward.”

I’ve also been asked what’s the keys to happiness for me.

Honestly, It’s a culmination of things.

I literally got into a mode of gratitude for even the smallest things. I continue to keep in mind that some people are not as blessed as you but you need to pray for them anyway. “…blessed is the least of these…” something I remembered from Ash Wednesday mass last week.

Anyway, enough of my rambling, I got the keys to happiness!

The Keys:

1. Practice an attitude of gratitude. Try not complain about the things, situations, opportunities, or people you don’t have. Say a word of thanks every day for little things. Perfect example, when you wake up, before you check your phone for emails, texts, or social media notifications, open your eyes & just give a word of thanks. Think about it like this, you were able to have full movement & activity of your whole body, somebody across the street, across your city, or across the world didn’t. Every new day that we are given on this earth is another chance at making life better. Be grateful.

2. Mind your own business. With this being the era of social media & keeping up with everyone & what they’re doing, we sometimes get distracted by what others are doing instead of minding our own business. Focus on what you need to do physically, mentally, emotionally, & spiritually to not only elevate your life but to bring the people up in your tribe. You are not in competition with anybody, not even yourself. Still mind your own business. You’ll thank me for this later, I promise.

3. Live in the present. Don’t be so hasty in recording or capturing moments for social media or other people that you forget to live in that particular moment. I’ve gotten better at this. I used to do this a lot. I’m at the point where I’m taking time to live in the moment & becoming one with it. Living with the notion that when I’m an accomplished, old writer & living on my property close to Lake Pontchatrain (manifesting this life) I can recount the moments that made my life with my loved ones. Live with each breath.

4. Move with intention. Everyday that you wake up. Vow to move with intention. I promise you will be so fulfilled. I write down my intentions with every new moon, new month, new week, & full moon phase. Move with a goal in mind that you can be proud of. Say a word over yourself, the Universe would do the rest of the heavy lifting.

5. Speak to yourself, the way you would want a lover to speak to you. Speak to yourself positively. Speak as if you are a lover, because let’s face it, you are. You are the lover of yourself. Speak things over yourself. Choose words like love, kind, light, joy, peace, beautiful, & hopeful. Say phrases like “You got this!” or as some of my Louisiana friends say, “Girl, you fine as frog hair!” You have to uplift yourself!

I’ll leave you with this, live a life that when it’s all over, you can smile because you lived a life that’s full of joy, love, & happiness!

The Meaning of Rosary Beads

Rosary beads come in all shapes, colors, sizes and quality.Some rosaries are strung with pearl, crystal, wood and even plastic. But where did the ritual of the rosary come from? And what exactly is the significance of rosary beads?

The rosary in simplest terms is a tool used to aid prayer and meditation. The beads of a rosary count the prayers as they are recited out loud or in the mind. Relying on the rosary beads to keep track of how many times you’ve said a particular prayer allows you to clear your mind and meditate on your prayer more effectively.

Most commonly recognized in the United States as a symbol of Catholicism, other religions including Buddhism, Hinduism, Paganism and Islam employ rosary bead traditions as well.

History of Rosary BeadsThe earliest records of the practice of counting prayers among religions of Western culture can be traced to the 11th and 12th centuries. It is believed that people carried small stones or pebbles in their pockets with which to count prayers. 

However, there is evidence that Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam all had traditions of prayer counting that predate this pebble counting, and these faiths had incorporated a string of beads for this counting.

There is some belief that the word “rosary” has its origins in the travels of Romans to India many centuries ago. The term “bead” seems to derive from the Saxon word “bede,” meaning prayer.

Roman Catholic Rosary
In the Roman Catholic tradition, the term rosary refers to both the string of beads and the prayer said using that string of beads.

To pray the rosary is to recite specific prayers corresponding with particular beads on the string. A rosary is a made up of a crucifix, one larger bead, three small beads, another larger bead and then a medal. After the medal comes a larger bead again, followed by a group of 10 smaller beads.Around the rosary chain there are five sets of each of these beads one large, 10 small. The larger bead is separated from the smaller beads, signifying the different prayers recited while holding the bead. These sets – one bead followed by a group of 10 – are called decades.

The basic praying of the rosary consists of the Apostle’s Creed prayed while holding the crucifix in one’s hand followed by an Our Father while holding the single, larger bead, then a prayer of the Hail Mary for each smaller bead in the set of 10.

A more complex Hail Mary is recited while holding the medal. The prayers are recited around the whole of the rosary with each decade signifying a meditation on one of the mysteries of Redemption.

The thoughts during the prayer are directed to focus on a different mystery for each decade that corresponds with a specific time of year. These mysteries represent the significant events in the life of Jesus Christ.

A Lesson in Death

I guess this might be a somber welcome back.

Here we go…

I have to dig deep because some times spiritual things come from the depths of the soul.

Over the holiday season, I lost a dear friend of mine. We had known each other since we were literally in kindergarten.

He was only 34. To be that young & die of stage 4 cancer is something I’ll never to come to understand.

He was my dinosaur buddy, my writing buddy always encouraged me to keep telling my stories & that one day I would make it to where he was.

He was a college football reporter for ESPN. He literally rose through the ranks to be the top of top authority on college football.

I learned a valuable lesson on Christmas Eve, death comes on swift wings a lot of times. It’s so sudden & so fast.

Death doesn’t matter how old you are, what you have, or what you had planned.

I challenge you, not only this year but every year, every month, everyday to love people you come in contact with. Allow your light to shine every day.

Be grateful for every breath that you get to take. Things may not always go right every day but make the best of what does go right.

The lasting lesson I learned from death: Live everyday with the intention of building a legacy that will speak for you when you’re gone.

As Always,

Peace, Light, & Legacy

plants to help heal depression

#1 Plants Reduce Stress

Scientists agree that houseplants can improve your outlook.

Research suggests that plants have a positive effect on stress reduction, pain tolerance, and physical discomfort -- but environmental psychologists aren't exactly sure why this happens. It could be that plants simply make a room more colorful and attractive.

Or, an indoor brush with nature may provide the same natural high and stress relief people feel in the great outdoors. There's even a name for the phenomenon -- biophilia (a love for nature) -- and entire buildings have been designed to recreate it.

Keeping all those green guys alive is good for you, too. Research has shown taking care of plants can increase a sense of well-being and reduce stress.

#2 They Freshen the Air

Winter means tightly closed windows and stuffy quarters. Plants reduce stale air by producing oxygen. But also, according to research done by NASA back in the late 1980s, certain plants will even filter harmful pollutants such as formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia from the air. Some folks get headaches, asthma, or have chronic health issues from these VOCs (volatile organic compounds) -- which could be off-gassing right this minute from your furniture, cleansers, and flooring! Just knowing that could make you pretty depressed.

To combat stale air, try some of these air-scrubbing horticultural heroes: Boston fern, English ivy, spider plant, bamboo palm, weeping fig, flamingo lily, peace lily, and cornstalk dracaena.

#3 Houseplants Can Beat the Blues

Best of all, having a houseplant (or a dozen!) can boost your mood in winter months. Here are some great choices:

Anthuriums. These beautiful flowering plants are super easy to care for. "They do need a decent amount of light, but they bloom consistently -- especially during the February-March doldrums," says Rebecca Bullene, founder of Greenery NYC, a botanic design company experienced in indoor plant installations and living plant design.

"They're big and beautiful. Those with red, pink, or white flowers are most common."

Ferns, particularly the Kimberly Queen (Nephrolepis obliterata) and Boston (Nephrolepis exaltata) varieties. "They need a bit more water and a decent amount of light, but they put a lot of humidity back in the air and will help make your space comfortable," Bullene says.

Plus, the Kimberlys are a little easier to care for than the average fern. "If you forget to water for a day or two," she says, "they won't crash out."

Chinese Evergreen (Aglaonema modestum). This hardy plant can handle the low light of winter. "It can be in a dark corner and still look amazing," Bullene says. "The blackest of thumbs can take care of this plant."

Golden Pothos or Devil's Ivy (Epipremnum aureum). This plant is also a hardy one that's hard to kill. Bullene recommends it for anyone without much experience with plants.

Mother-in-Law's Tongue, Sword Plant, or Snake Plant (Sansevieria). This houseplant of many names is really drought-resistant. You can water it once a month and it grows in high or low light. “There are a lot of varieties that have cool shapes and colors," Bullene says.

So when the weather outside is frightful, make way for some greenery and invite some friends over. Call it a Houseplant Happy Hour. You just may be surprised by how genuinely happy your greener home makes you all winter long.

Here's a Full Moon Due on Friday the 13th for Most of the U.S. The Next One Isn't for Another 30 Years

The next full moon is set to make an appearance on the most ominous date on the calendar this month.

A September full moon, also known as a “Harvest Moon,” will be visible to many Americans this Friday the 13th.

According to NASA, the moon will be full early Saturday morning, Sept. 14, at 12:33 a.m. EST, but for those who live in the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones, the full moon will be visible shortly before midnight on Friday the 13th.

NASA says that the moon will appear full for about three days centered around this time — from Thursday night through Sunday morning.

A full moon on Friday the 13th is an extremely rare occurrence, according to the Farmers’ Almanac. It reports that this will be the first full moon visible across the U.S. on Friday the 13th since Oct. 13, 2000.

All about the New Moon Tonight : Dramatic Full Sturgeon Moon Will Create One of the Most Magical Nights of Summer 2019

 you’re out and about tongiht don’t miss the chance to see one of the astronomical highlights of summer as a full moon rises this Thursday. Our satellite reaches its full phase on Aug. 15, an event that’s popularly called the Full Sturgeon Moon. With it comes two chances on Thursday for North Americans to witness a spectacular sight of a full moon in twilight close to dawn or sunset.

Why is it called the Full Sturgeon Moon?

It’s a name derived from a Native American tribe that used to track the seasons using the Moon. At this time of year the sturgeon fish, North America's largest lake fish, used to be caught in the Great Lakes, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac (it’s now critically endangered). The Full Green Corn Moon, Full Barley Moon, Wheat Cut Moon, Blueberry Moon, and Blackberry Moon are other names that have been given to August’s full moon by various tribes, again to indicate the harvest time for those crops.

When is the Sturgeon Moon?

The Moon will be 100% illuminated at precisely 12:29 p.m. UTC on Thursday, Aug. 15, which is 8:29 a.m. EDT and 5:29 a.m. PDT. That means that moon-viewers should get up early and watch a moonset in the western sky if they want to see as close to a full moon as possible. However, it will still look almost exactly as full at moonrise later that day.

How to look at the Full Sturgeon Moon at moonset

In New York, the moon will set in the west 99.9% illuminated at 5:57 a.m EDT on the morning of Thursday, Aug. 15, 2019, which is nine minutes before sunrise. In Los Angeles, the moon will set in the west at 6:15 a.m. PDT precisely as the sun rises. Find yourself an observing position with a good view low to the western horizon for an unforgettable sight, clear skies allowing.

How to look at the Full Sturgeon Moon at moonrise

Later in the day on Aug. 15 is probably the most popular time to look for the moonrise. This time, get somewhere with a good view low to the eastern horizon. In New York, the moon will rise at 8:21 p.m. EDT exactly 27 minutes after sunset, while in Los Angeles, it will rise at 8:10 p.m. PDT, precisely 30 minutes after sunset.

When you’re looking for the Full Sturgeon Moon and if there’s a clear sky, you may notice a pink band glowing in the west just before sunrise and in the east just after sunset. Only visible in twilight, this atmospheric phenomenon about 10–20° above the horizon is called the Belt of Venus. It’s caused by the atmosphere reflecting light from the sun, which always appears red when it’s rising or setting.

When is the next full moon?

September’s Full Moon is called the Full Harvest Moon or the Full Corn Moon. It will occur at 9:33 p.m. PDT on Friday, Sept. 13, 2019 in Los Angeles and at 12:33 a.m. EDT on Saturday, Sept.14, 2019. Consequently this full moon will be visible while 100% illuminated to the whole of North America, though technically on different days.

It's Time....

As I’ve grown in my spiritual walk, things have changed. I see things that I didn’t see years ago. I’m discovering that I have the gift of clairvoyance.

Tuesday night, I fell into a deep sleep.

I thought I was awake but I wasn’t. I woke up in this dark room. I equate it to an episode of the hit Netflix show, “Stranger Things” when Eleven, one of the main characters, sits in a dark dimension and she's reaching for a memory of her life or someone else’s.

I sat up. I heard a voice say, as clear as day, “It’s time. It’s time. Prepare yourself. Prepare your womb. It’s time. it’s time…”

It was my paternal grandmother, Lerlean. As I wrote in a previous story, she passed when I was 12. I’m 33 now.

I couldn’t see her but I could hear her voice. All I could say was, “What are you talking about?" Where are you? I hear you so loud but I don’t see you.”

Then I woke up at 4:45 am & stayed up the rest of the day until it was time to fade off to sleep that evening.

I’ve been trying to decode that dream for the last two days. I think I know what it means now that I’ve had some time to absorb it. I think she was telling me tho prepare for a major blessing & that it’s time to walk in the true purpose for my life.

As always,

Peace, Love, & Spirit Messages,

Dom

Riding the Waves of Change with Miss Lauren Bachtel

Lauren Bachtel is a rising actress in the New Orleans area. Last year, she starred in a debut film for City Church called A Lot Like Christmas. That put her on the fast track to another City Church production. Lauren’s spiritual journey hasn’t been easy but she’s managed to stay grounded & stay true to where she’s being lead. Here’s a behind the scenes interviews with the star.

Dom: Hi Lauren! Tell me a little about your life so the readers can get a grasp of the spiritual changes you’ve made.

Lauren: It’s a pleasure to provide my answers for this article! Thank you for allowing me to experience this opportunity. Well, I have been on this spiritual journey since 2014 and I haven’t looked back ever since! I have a full time job, I volunteer weekly at my church and I have been interested in continuing to learn about Christian filmmaking. My journey hasn’t been easy but every experience is a learning opportunity and a chance to grow.

Dom: What made you decide that you needed a change in your life?

Lauren: I was 28 and my life was just there. I was drinking all the time, my personal relationships weren’t doing well and everything was affecting my job. My attitude wasn’t the best and I was always depressed. I was always unhappy. There were events in my past that changed my entire personality and perspective on my life. A coworker saw this as she got to know me and invited me to her church. She invited me so many times it was becoming annoying so I finally agreed to go just so she would stop asking me! At the time I didn’t have a church so what was the worst that could happen right? Immediately when I walked in I knew God was calling me to a better life than what I’d created with my bad choices. I sobbed thinking I’m not worth anything. I’ve done so much wrong. Why did you choose me God? From that September 2014 I made the choice to follow God’s plan on my life. 

Dom: When did you realize that God was using you for a greater purpose?

Lauren: Everyone has a purpose for their life and each person’s purpose is different. After attending church for a year I knew that God wanted me to do more. I was still very withdrawn because I didn’t feel worthy but something kept telling me to continue to listen to His word. I started to wonder what would my life be if I made this change. My old self was awakened! I wanted to create things. I wanted to be apart of something. I wanted to find my purpose. 

Dom: How has this spiritual awakening changed your life? 

Lauren: I have had so many opportunities and blessings come my way it’s unreal! I have joy in my heart, peace and so much more wisdom. My journey isn’t over and I know it’s not going to get easier but I love myself so much more. I love God so much more! I want to share my testimony to everyone that needs to hear never give up even though it may seem hard. Love each day that God gives to you because tomorrow isn’t promised. 

Dom: Do you think God has given you a vision for your life?

Lauren: God has given me a vision to help women who were in my situation. There is no better love than the love of God. He knows everything about us. He knows our thoughts, our fears and our hearts. I am not going to give up on my vision because I feel filmmakingis my outreach to others. Nothing can stand in between my spiritual growth and vision on my life no matter what that may be. 

Dom: Lastly, Is there anything else you want to let people know about how your life has changed?

Lauren: My life is continuously evolving into something better all thanks to that choice I made in 2014. Years ago I hated myself. I thought I was ugly and worthless. People that I loved hurt me. Family has hurt me. I now have spiritual freedom! I thank God for coming into my heart and helping me change every day and allowing me to experience filmmaking to reach others. I thank my pastors and Bishop for guiding me when times were difficult and I wanted to give up. It’s my choice to follow God’s will no matter the consequences but I know in the end it will work for my good. 

Dom: Thank you Lauren for sitting down with me to tell your story!

Today, I Took A Bath

This morning I went for a almost two mile run. First run in months. I started doing a summer purge the night before & had planned on continuing today.

The Universe just took over.

I took a cleansing bath today. My roommate had offered to run a cleaning bath for me after running. I agreed.

She infused the bath with Lavender oil, Thyme, Citrine, Quartz, Rose Quartz, Lavender Epsom Salt, & Full Moon Water from the recent Full Moon.

Lavender for calm. Thyme for healing. Citrine for focus. Quartz for clearing the mind & the body of negativity. To help the body be more spiritually receptive. Rose Quartz for healing, to open up the heart chakra to unconditional love & positive energy. Full Moon Water for cleansing & opens our intuitive nature.

That was the most spiritual bath I’ve ever had. I felt renewed & full.

I had to take a nap Laughs

As Always,

Peace, Love, & Cleansing,

Dom

#Spirituality : Sore Feet and Instant Manifestations

Welcome!

Post solstice and new moon. Are there any ramifications and has anything changed?

Because the solstice of the 21st served to anchor us into the earth more fully, and thus, create a new space for many of us as the official and rightful caretakers and creators of the new reality and new earth, some interesting manifestations have begun to occur.

Unusual foot pain, discomfort in the feet, aching, burning, nerve sensations, or perhaps a bruised feeling.all in the feet, are common symptoms of a new anchoring in and grounding to the earth. Lower leg discomfort can occur as well. We are pulling much energy into the earth now, and holding it there, and our feet and lower legs are working over-time.

But there are other interesting manifestations as well.

The immediate manifestation energy has returned with a gusto. Have a simple thought or desire, and it can manifest almost instantly, or at least within a few hours. So many things have shown up for me in the last few days, and in such an unmistakable way of immediate manifestation, that I finally had to declare, "O.K. universe. If this is what we are finally doing, then I would like this, and this, and this...!" And almost immediately, everything arrives.

We have successfully broken through a new barrier, if only piece by piece. Our new residency and new space is now available, but there are still some interesting glitches and situations occurring as well. There is still present, a knowing and awareness that not everyone is taking this opportunity. Some have not yet woken up, are not yet ready to move ahead, have not yet opened and surrendered to something new, have not yet let go and given up, and are thus, still in the dark. Because most of us have enormous hearts and want everyone there with us, a part of us can lovingly stay back and try with all our loving hearts to usher others forward still. Most of us really do not want to leave our loved ones behind. But know that they will find their way in time, and we will be re-united once again.

In this way, we may still have one foot in one reality, and the other foot in another reality. You will know this to be true if you are experiencing enormous highs and incredible joy at one moment, and then suddenly, a severe drop in your energy with feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, and great pain in other moments. Feeling highly emotional when something wonderful happens, with great gratitude, is yet another example. "I think I am going to cry!" along with "This makes me so emotional!" can end up almost being new mantras.

Many of us have spent months preparing for this time of departure by letting go of everything possible, either voluntarily or not. Being tethered to anything that is "back there," will most certainly hold us back and tie us down. We absolutely have to be free and clear, with no connecting energy lines to the old in order to move across the dimensional border. If enough of us choose to stay and support, or stay and encourage energies "back there" in coming ahead, then the critical mass will not be reached, and our experience of crossing over will be diminished or at least lessened to some degree.

But as always, it is up to us, as we are the ultimate creators. So then, there is a real mish mosh occurring right now, but again, as always, things are in divine and perfect order none-the-less.

#SPIRITUALITY -- ALL ABOUT THE AMAZONITE CRYSTAL, THE PLAYMATE FLUIDITY • PLAYFUL • OPTIMISTIC

Good luck isn't just a coincidence, especially when you include an Amazonite crystal in your gemstone collection. With its verdant shade of blue–green, the Amazonite crystal meaning reflects the lush foliage of the Amazon rainforest, although it's commonly found in Colorado alongside Smoky Quartz clusters. 

#SPIRITUALITY -- ALL ABOUT THE #AGATE CRYSTAL, THE STABILIZER STABILITY • GROUNDING • SUPPORTIVE

WHAT IS AGATE?

Known as the stabilizer, Agate is the stone to call on for support when you need stability and grounding in your life. Along with its supportive energy, the Agate stone has been long admired for its incredible beauty. Agate has a dreamy quality with signature bands made up of mineral deposits layered in a perfectly circular symmetry around its circumference. A combination of igneous rock with silica deposits found in groundwater, the otherworldly bands give this semi-precious stone its trademark appearance. What gives the Agate stone its incredibly powerful grounding abilities is its availability in different colors, including a palette of white, purple, black, gray, yellow, pink, red, and brown.

Agate belongs to the quartz family, which makes it a popular crystal for healing, especially due to its composition of silicon dioxide, a mineral that is also found in the human body. The variety of chalcedony bands also help enhance your feelings of stability, which can be incredibly balancing if you’re caught in a cycle of worry and overthinking. It works by connecting you with the gentle vibrations of the Earth, making it a gentle stone with a light, diffused energy. This is why many beginners start with Agate stone in their first collection. With mellow vibrations and a steady rhythm, Agate can bring you a sense of peace and support when you feel scattered or overwhelmed by modern life.
