So it's finally here, the end of 2011....I am here preparing my list of goals and my list of areas I'd like to work on for 2012. I am about to perform a small ceremony of gratitude for the year that just passed and to open doors for the year we are about to embark on.....I am so excited as 2012 will be a new year of adventure and I have so many things I am eager to see and do! I will light a candle in prayer for you, my followers that you too may prosper and embark on as beautiful a journey as I and I will call upon the angels to offer you love and guidance for the path you chose to take. Blessings and Love XX Anna

The Mystery school at Dodona was a breathtaking journey into a time of mystic wisdom and understanding. The message brought forth for 2012 is to cleanse your mind of that which does not serve your highest good! To face issues that have kept you back from being true to yourself; to forgive, to face your fears, to let go of anger, to let go of hate and with this cleansing new doors and opportunities will arise to help in your manifestations.

Mount Olympus proved to be not only a serene location but a place of Divine presence and Wisdom, the message for the year coming is to open your heart to love and experience. Allow yourself to love and be loved, just to really offer unconditional love to all, whether you know the being or not. Most importantly to love yourself and give to yourself...In this light I have decided to give my love unconditionally tomorrow by helping anyone I come across in need with the utmost respect and love and without judgement, I declare it help anyone in need day, a homeless person by buying them lunch, help an elderly person in need, we'll see what the day brings forth!

I began reading a book by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kessler called Life Lessons, although I have only reached chapter 3 this book has really touched my heart to an enlightening stage. I have already cried about 3 times and laughed a couple more at accounts they have used. It is truly touching, we live our lives always trying to please everyone around us, whether it is our families, our co-workers, our bosses, our friends, our neighbors but in that we hardly ever look at who we truly are under the many masks we play for the world, just because we have this idea or fantasy of who we should be or represent as a mum, sister, daughter, daughter-in-law, friend, employee. or obviously vice versa for a male At the end those masks don't ever really matter, it is who we are within and who we know ourselves to truly be. In the book they question "what you would truly do if you weren't being watched?" and I realized that this played a big part for me last year when I had that Aha moment where I accepted who I myself am with no cares about anyone else around. As I began to be honest with myself the world around me changed and I was no longer afraid to scream it out to the  world! The book talks about people who only realize this on their death beds, it sort of clicks that they lived their life trying to please everyone around, except taking the time to do what they really enjoy. If you want a good read on Life, and you are looking to make changes in yours then check it out!

Today's journey in to King Solomon's temple brought forth a message of openness to learning the truth of your heart and neutrality to difficult situations in your life. take a different perspective in looking at arguments, disagreements and give love where you would ordinarily give hate!

Look at my sacred journeys page for a read on the full journey.

I have decided in light of the new year to embark on a series of journeys, one a day from December 26, 2011 - January 2, 2012. I will be traveling to the following destinations and seeking information for manifestation, peace, love, healing Mother Earth and meeting up with the Ascended Masters to seek guidance for a wonderful 2012 - this information I will blog here, however in addition I will also document my journey on the Scared Journeys page - stay tuned for a ride into the Universe :

27 Dec - Mount Olympus
28 Dec - The Mystery School at Dodona
29 Dec - The Hall of a Thousand Doors
30 Dec - The Ancient Druids
31 Dec - The Acropolis at Athens

The year 2012 has brought about tremendous curiosity and an overload of information from all walks of life. There is talk of catastrophe's, the ending of civilization, the ending of the world/earth. Hundreds of books have been written on the topic and of the Mayan calendar ending in 2012. Has anyone considered that perhaps the Mayan calendar just came to an end without any impeding catastrophe's predicted or that the Mayans maybe just ran out of room to include anymore years, or even that we as a human race may have calculated their dates incorrectly? For each and everyone who has spent time thinking about it or researching it or even "looking" at it, Que sera, sera, Whatever will be will be! I have spent sometime reading into future events and having a look at 2012 and although I do "see" and it has been communicated to me that there may be some major catastrophe's that may scare a lot of people, the world will not be coming to an end in what is predicted a major Dooms day. I stress on the may, only because the future can always be altered based on many factors at a particular point of time. I see that based on the economic situations around the world that life will become simpler for all, everyone will take charge of their consumptions and growing of provisions. Communities will form to create unity between people so that sharing and bartering will present itself. Huge conglomerates that monopolize the markets will eventually fall and we as a race will become self sufficient. Smaller family owned businesses based on loyalty and heart will grow and multiply. This I do not see in the next year but within the next 10-15 years and although technology will continue to develop the earth will be healthy once more and the air we breathe will be cleaner. Mother Earth is currently at a time of purging and clearing with the help of the dedicated angels that have been assigned to her. May we all assist in sending her love and prayer.

With the Year about to come to an end and an exciting new year around the corner, the big "2012" I am sure a lot of people have started to put their resolutions together.  It is now a time to start clearing your space, ridding your home of things that are of no use, and clearing stagnant energies that are just circulating. Open your windows and allow the fresh air to sweep through your home, clear your cupboards of unwanted and old clothing, expired can goods, ornaments that don't have a place and make room for the new. Allow prosperity to enter your home by clearing space for it to enter, if there is no space where can it go?! Clear Old habits that do not serve you anymore. Perhaps instead of setting resolutions you can set goals that you can work towards and take each day at a time. I see so many people wanting to change old habits and create new ways of life and set New Years Resolutions only to fail, it may be a good idea to look at why those habits are there and what creates them, how they affect you, how they affect others, why you really want to change them, just watch the habit from a state of neutrality and allow to play in front of you. Most times by just being aware of what creates those habits and working on that aspect you can well be on your way to making a change.

Grounding yourself can be a part of your everyday regime. It is as easy at touching your nose. Grounding yourself connects you to Mother Earth and through your connection to her, your bodies both astral and physical can begin to heal and release any energies that do not serve you well at this point of time. A very easy way of grounding that requires minimum effort is to go outside onto grass and earth and just stand,, or sit with your bare feet planted on the earth close your eyes and just ask your spirit to ground you and start releasing energy, you may not even notice or feel anything but be sure that your body and spirit have gone through with your request. There are other more technical ways of grounding that require a little more effort, but can be done in less than 5 minutes. Another way is to sit or stand or walk whatever is more comfortable and picture your 1st chakra, which is at the base of your spine. It can be a circle, a spinning fan, a twirly ball of energy anything you want to perceive it to be and any colour or colours and from that chakra connect a line of energy to the center of the earth, your line of energy can be a tree trunk or a rope or a fancy cord with sparkles - use your imagination and let it take whatever shape or form you wish it to, there is no wrong or right,  just have fun! The last thing to do is to just allow any energies that are not yours or not for your highest good to go down to the center of the earth and have her recycle the energy. If you have an ailment or chronic pain or just a headache, try grounding yourself, try going outdoors into mother nature, breathe in her energy, breathe in the Sun energy - I am sure it will make you feel better. Mother Earth is really amazing in all her presence, she is open to healing and love and she listens with great intent to anything you wish to tell her. I love to send her love energy and gratitude from my heart whenever I can, she always returns it with greater love!

Energy is such an amazing part of our lives. For many who cannot see or feel it, it becomes non existent. It can difficult to believe in something that is not tangible, but if one starts to break that down they can start wondering whether molecules, disease, bacteria, the Universe, wind and the works exist. We can say they do because of the cause and effects or that with disease we can see the outcome, however if the outcome was not present we would just be relying on the words and studies of the geniuses we call scientist. Energy is all around us, it is also within us, we are energy, the world is energy, the Universe is energy, everything we touch is energy, furniture is energy, the words we speak is  energy, God is energy, Angels are energy, light is energy, every living and non living thing is energy, the difference we share is that we all beat at different vibrations. Etheric cords are such a basic form of energy but in its simplicity it can become complicated in the implications that are caused by its presence. An etheric cord is like a string or rope that connects from our astral bodies to the bodies of other people, objects or spirits. They aren't always connecting, but can do so from a thought that we have of that person or thing or physical contact we had with either.  Depending on how long that cord has been connected and the power of either party determines the strength of the connection.
Do you recall a time when you might of felt drained for no reason at all? Or you had a friend visit you and after hearing her complain about everything under the sun, then when she decides to leave she says with a smile "I feel so much better every time I speak with you", but you are extremely drained and exhausted, perhaps even agitated and you notice this to be a recurring feeling every time she visits- chances are energy has passed through your connecting cords. If a person is needy or depressed or angry, they can pull your energy through that cord unintentionally and without even being aware. But it doesn't always have to be negative - another example can be that you thought of an old friend and then they called you out of the blue, the cords can also be a form of telepathic communication as the energies are passed through them. I hope I don't have everyone reading this in a panic and wanting to stay away from anyone else......it is healthy  to cut these cords as often as you feel necessary. A simple way for many is to call upon Archangel Michael and Archangel Rafael, they are both very loving and willing to help in any way they can for our highest good and the highest good of all. You can just close your eyes and ask Archangel Michael " Please cut all of the cords connecting me to anyone and send the cords back to their rightful owners"...You are not hurting anyone by doing this, I believe it is more of a help and healing. After, call upon Archangel Rafael "Please heal all or any open wounds in both my physical and astral bodies resulting from these connections", you may feel a tingling, or you may feel absolutely nothing at all. But I can assure you they will do as you ask! Please do not forget to give gratitude for their help and just say a simple thank you!
