Article about Indigos

I came across this article in OM Times about Indigos and the Indigo Ray.

Indigos

I love it when I come across great descriptions of Indigos by other people. It helps me in explaining to others what it means. Although there is much more depth to it than this, the following description sums it up in a general nutshell. I totally identify with it! It was written by Charles Virtue, son of author Doreen Virtue. Charles is an Indigo.

"The term Indigo refers to strong-willed, intuitive leaders of all ages. Indigos have an inborn ability to sense whether someone is telling the truth or not, and they only respect people who are honorable, regardless of age, title or rank. Because of their non-conformity, Indigos often buck the system....which is part of their global mission to bring truth and integrity to this world."

Ask and You Shall Receive

Ask and you shall receive. I'm sure you've heard that before. But do you know that it's literally true? I have lots of experiences around this subject that I could share but there is one particularly amazing experience I had at the beginning of this year -- in February, that is a perfect example of this.

This story really begins in the Spring of last year -- 2013. It was then that I heard Edwene Gains, a Unity minister, author, and owner and director of Rock Ridge Retreat Center in Valley Head, Alabama, speak about prosperity one Sunday at Unity Houston. I got warm, fuzzy feelings about her as soon as I heard her talk. Her personality and energy reminded me of my maternal grandmother, who I have always had a close connection with. She is just the kind of person you love right away. She is a great prosperity teacher. She was very inspiring and I wanted more of her so I bought her book The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity on CD.

One of the exercises (in a nutshell) she had us do was to make a list of a dozen things that we most desired, no matter how large or small. Write them in order of importance to you. Be very specific.Then we were to put a date by each item on the list as to when we would like to achieve each goal. (For instance, something like to be debt free might take longer -- years perhaps -- than say a new washer and dryer or to lose some weight.) Once you have your list of the top dozen things you desire, you are to read that list at least three times every morning and every evening, for at least thirty days. Imagine yourself achieving each goal. Be open and receptive to change. Pray daily. Don't tell others about your goals. Keep it private -- between you and God. Cross off the goals as they are achieved and continue to add new ones. There will always be new desires.

Well, in order to share my experience, I have to tell you about one of the items on my list. It's okay -- because I received it. It got crossed off the list. And the moment I recognized that I was receiving this desire on my list, I burst into tears. It was better than I could have imagined and it just got more amazing as time went along. Once you make your desires known, you have to relax, have faith, let go, and let God and get out of the way.

By the way, this particular desire at the time was twelfth on my list. I had achieved most of the others already, with the exception of the ones that would possibly take years to achieve. This item I gave a date of ten months down the line. I received it in eleven months. (My life path number in numerology is 11.)

The item on my list was a friend on a similar spiritual journey to do things with. I didn't say"new" friend, so as to leave it open to be either someone I already knew or someone I haven't met yet. I didn't have anyone in my life that I had much in common with spiritually speaking -- except for my mother. My mom and I do a lot of things together and always have, such as going to Unity of Houston and other functions, which is great. I just wanted a friend to do things with -- the kind of things I enjoyed doing. Someone I shared things in common with.

Here's where the story gets really good. Boy, was I in for a big surprise! The funny thing is, I was somewhat resistant about it to start with. You just never know how the things that you desire will manifest in your life -- in any way you can imagine and then some. You have to stay open to receiving. I didn't really imagine that the friend I was looking for would come to me in the form of a new client.

I own a pet sitting business and at the time I was not taking many new clients. I have a large client base and I am more selective if and when I take any new clients. I had gone back & forth with myself on whether or not to even take on this client but she was referred to me by another long time client. So I went to meet this new client and her pets to arrange pet sitting for a few days.

The meeting was going as they normally do... until she mentioned going to a particular town on a regular basis. Normally that would be no big deal, but she mentioned the town where my husband and I have some property. A town that not many people know about, let alone go to on a fairly regular basis. It's pretty rare for me to meet someone who knows where this town is. That was just the first thing. We kept talking and discovered we both went to Unity of Houston. She hadn't been in awhile because she had moved out of town for several years. She had just moved back into the area fairly recently.


The longer we talked, the more we discovered we had in common. We couldn't stop talking. Both of our energies were really revved up and after a short while, we had to stand up. We couldn't sit down. Talk about high vibrations! She eventually asked me if I was "metaphysical". Smiling, I said I have a degree in Parapsychic Science! Then I asked her if she knew what an Indigo was. She said there have been people who have told her she is an Indigo. It was then that it hit me.....and I broke down in tears and told her she was an answer to a prayer. (I am in tears now writing about it.) I realized she was that twelfth thing on my prosperity list that I made eleven months ago. She hugged me & after we hugged like two long lost friends, we continued chatting up a storm. All three of her pets had gathered at our feet as we stood talking. They were basking in our high energy. We talked non-stop for five hours! We totally lost track of time and it went by so fast! Never have I had a client meeting like this!

So I got a new client and a new friend that day in February. And I crossed another thing off my list. Ask and you shall receive. It really does work. I just had to learn how to tune to my desire and be open to receive.

We began going to Unity together and then to lunch afterwards, talking until it was time for dinner. I sent her information and books on Indigos and she confirmed that yes, she has all the characteristics of an Indigo like I did. We had so much to talk about. As time went on, the more we discovered we had in common. We had so much in common that it became down right freaky, so I started making a list of them all. Things such as; we've both been married twice, our first husbands were Gemini's, we don't have any children, we were the oldest of three children, we both have worn glasses since elementary school, same favorite color, both have/had a cat name Chloe. We even had been called the same nickname as children by our mothers. The list is currently at forty-six things we have in common -- some minor things, some major -- including being Indigos and Empaths. It's amazing.

As soon as I was able to tune in to receiving and allowing what I was asking for, it showed up in ways better than I could have ever imagined. Not only did I get a friend like I asked for, and she and I have so much in common and are so much alike --  it's like we are practically twins; but she is also an adult Indigo, which is the first one I've found and met in person since I awakened to being one myself. Being an Indigo wasn't on my list of criteria for a friend to do things with, so that was like icing on the cake! Wow! And not only did I get a friend that was also an Indigo -- someone that I could really relate to, but she is older than I am, which is amazing in itself, because to find one older than myself (that was also awakened) was like (to me) finding a needle in a haystack! I am so blessed! 

There are no coincidences! Ask, focus, allow and know that what you desire will be yours.

A Big Ah-ha Moment

You know those "ah-ha" moments, when you finally get something? Something finally clicks or you receive some information and suddenly things you didn't understand or were unaware of now make perfect sense. It can even be something you may have read or heard a hundred times before but for whatever reason it usually went right through you and didn't sink in until you have a moment of clarity, and finally, you really get it this time -- you understand. It's clear now. It's like all the pieces of the puzzle finally come together and things make so much more sense. It's a good feeling!

I've had my share of these ah-ha moments and look forward to having more of them! One of the biggest of these I've had most recently, I received last year, in the Spring of 2013. I was excited going into the new year. Thirteen is my lucky number and I could feel that this was going to be a really good year for me. I knew that good things were going to happen (and they did!) but I really didn't have any idea what. I eagerly anticipated what was to come.  

Being highly intuitive, I am guided to things (and answers to questions) and I naturally (most of the time) follow where I am led. (Listen to your intuition! It's never wrong!) What's interesting is now with the internet, I am guided to things using this avenue of information as well. Who would have thought that I would have one of the biggest discoveries (or ah-ha moment) about myself that I've ever had, from the internet? Not me.

Well, one day I was just going though my personal emails and as usual, some I sent to the trash, some I saved for later, some I read. I get so many, I rarely read them all. (I sign up for lots of newsletters and such.) The ones that caught my attention, I read and then I would click on a link somewhere and read something else, then I might click on another link in there and go yet somewhere else (like being in an email vortex -- you only meant to go in for a minute to check emails & end up staying for hours!) until I ended up (don't remember how, exactly) at a self-test for adult Indigos. I'm sure it's been there for a long time. I was never aware of it. There was around 25 statements. As I read each statement, I found it interesting that all these different statements were put together because quite honestly, I had never put all these things together. They were attributes of adult Indigos. What really amazed me was that I answered yes to every single one of them. I read them again and again. Then it hit me, the biggest ah-ha ever! I am what has been labeled an adult Indigo and I had no idea until that moment. It was like getting hit over the head with a two by four. A big wave of emotion went through me. It's indescribable. It was one of those moments that seemed to be going in slow motion. I was feeling a lot of emotions all at once. It was a little overwhelming, but in a good way. And then it happened.

My maternal grandmother, whom I adore and who took care of me during the day when I was a small child (who had passed away twelve years earlier), appeared and wrapped her loving energy around me like a blanket to comfort me, to celebrate my awakening and to let me know she is here with me. That was totally unexpected but what a wonderful surprise! The immense love and joy that I was feeling in that moment is beyond words.

Now, without a doubt, I knew I was guided to this message or realization about myself; to realize Who I Really Am and all that may entail, which never stops expanding. This was just one aspect of who I am. But a biggie, none the less. And now I also knew, without a doubt, that I had my own support team on the other side as well.

Though at that moment I really didn't know much at all about Indigos, things that I've often wondered about were starting to make sense. The more research I did on Indigos, the more answers to questions I got and more pieces of the puzzle began falling into place. Memories of all the different psychic experiences I have had in my life started flooding my mind. Many I had forgotten. I found it amazing that I was reading books about adult Indigos that had not only been out for awhile, but that described me so well, even some of my personal feelings and thoughts that I have never expressed to anyone before --  it was almost freaky. How could this be? How could I not -- all this time -- know this about myself? 

I do know this: there are no coincidences and everything works in divine order. So instead of fretting over the fact that I have just now put two and two together, I am focusing on learning as much as I can and having the most fun I possibly can on my path now. 

This was a huge ah-ha moment for me. It changed my life. It has answered so many questions. It was sort of a home-coming -- coming home to myself, remembering more fully Who I Really Am and why I'm here. 

And as if that wasn't enough, during this same time I discovered (on the internet) a wonderful intuitive empath coach by the name of Dr. Michael R. Smith, PhD., who helped me realize that I was also empathetic or an empath (or sometimes called a Highly Sensitive Person). Again, I did a self-test/quiz, listened to Dr. Smith speak about what an empath is and what he does and again, I fit the description to a "T".  I didn't even know there was a term for what I have always experienced. Again, a lot of things I didn't understand about myself were now making much more sense to me. My self-discoveries were just beginning.

 I eventually learned that most, if not all Indigo souls are empaths. There are also people who are empaths but are not Indigos. I will be talking more about the aspects of being an empath in the future.

It all boils down to energy. We are all energy beings. Energy does not die, it only changes form. There is no such thing as "death", we only change form. We were energy before we incarnated into a body and we return to that energy with the accumulation of all we have become in this lifetime as well. We are eternal beings of light and love. Extensions of God/Source Energy/All That Is/The One.

What Took Me So Long?

Why did it take so long for me to wake up or realize Who I Really Am  -- an Indigo and an Empath? Why now, in my forty-ninth year of life? These are some of the questions I have asked.

When we are small children, we are still very open and pure and our connection to source is still very strong. We can never become completely disconnected from Source but after we start going to school and start experiencing the world around us and other people, our awareness of our connection to Source becomes somewhat "pinched off"  to varying degrees and we become more focused in the material world. We become conditioned as to what is acceptable and what is not. What is believed and what is not. What is real and what is not. We are taught what to do and how to fit in. Our brains are like little "black boxes" recording and taking everything in around us. I hadn't been exposed to anything of a paranormal or a spiritual nature and I really don't remember being aware of such things. I just wanted to fit in and be accepted so anything I might have experienced as a child that was "unusual" I either didn't realize that others didn't experience it or I kept it to myself or I disregarded it. I don't remember very much of my early childhood, just bits and pieces. 

Besides, I had a lot of growing to do, lessons to learn and experiences to go through and things of the paranormal or parapsychic nature were not readily accepted by society or anyone immediately around me for that matter. At least not that I was aware of. It wouldn't have been an easy thing to deal with consciously back then either. I always felt that I was different but didn't know why. The last thing I wanted to do was stand out in any way. No thanks! I was extremely shy and introverted.

We each have our own life path. We are each here for a purpose and each of us has gifts. We have something to share with others, something to help make the world a better place; some way to be of service. This is my path and I am where I need to be. I was awakened now, at this time of my life to being an Indigo because it's the right time for me and because this is a very special time on earth. A time like no other. We are going through a shift in evolution. A shift in energy. How do I know? Being an Indigo, I can feel it. And I'm not the only one who feels or knows the changes that are occurring either. That's all I have been hearing about for some time now from all the different spiritual leaders, authors, speakers, scientists, doctors, psychics, etc. that I follow, listen to or read. 

Something else that's interesting that comes into play has to do with the cycles of life. Our lives move in rhythms or cycles. Science tells us that about every seven years we have a complete renewal of the physical body -- that our cells are replaced with new ones.  It takes seven years to master a cycle or state of consciousness. The most important cycle is the one from zero to seven years. This is where your basic personality is molded. In the cycle from 21 to 28, a person moves into maturity (if not badly hurt emotionally in the first cycle). The cycle 28 to 35 is associated with seeking for yourself, to find yourself and prepare for full development. The cycle 35 to 42 is the cycle in which "everything will be added unto you" and the law of abundance begins to flow about this time. In the cycle 49 to 56 it is said you move into the inventory of life and during this time you may ask yourself "What have I done with my life?" or "Am I in the right place?". You take stock of what you are and begin searching to find more about who you are. This is the cycle I just began -- searching to find out who I really am. I have been going within. I have been asking. Ask and you shall receive.

I would like to mention of course, that the experiences called awakenings that I had earlier this year that led to my discovery of being an adult Indigo and an Empath, were the result of going to Oneness Meditations for around eight to ten months at the time, along with receiving occasional Oneness Blessings also know as Deeksha. Deeksha is Sanskrit and means transfer of divine energy. 

So there are perhaps many reasons why it has taken me so long to wake up to more of Who I Really Am. There are no coincidences. Everything works in divine order. 

The "Clairs"

You've probably heard of "the sixth sense" which is what intuition is sometimes called. Intuition is the language of the spirit/soul/higher self . It is one of the major ways that your spirit communicates with you about everything, including your connection to the universe. Just about everyone can recall times when they seem to just know things like who is on the other end of the phone before you pick it up and see who it is, or you think of someone and then you see them or get a call or email from them within a very short time. Times when you just know things. This is your intuition.

We are spiritual beings having a physical experience. In other words, we are beings of energy in a physical body. We transmit and receive energy constantly whether we are aware of it or not. We are energy and energy transmitters and everything around us consists of energy as well. We are each part of a gigantic communication system and we are transmitting and receiving energy not through words, but through at least four streams of psychic expression. These are extensions of intuition, known as the four "clairs." Clair means clear or something with clarity.

Clairvoyance is an extension of our physical sight and it means "to see with clarity," beyond our physical eyes. Clairvoyance utilizes the third-eye chakra under the seven-chakra system. Clairvoyance includes spiritual visions, dreams, imagination, seeing auras, seeing angels or seeing people or animals who have passed away.

Clairaudience is an extension of our physical hearing and it means "to hear with clarity," beyond our physical ears. It includes hearing spirit voices, music, and thought telepathy, as well as comprehending spiritual laws.

Clairsentience is an extension of our physical touch and it means "to sense with clarity," beyond our five physical senses. It includes phenomena like empathy (sensing or feeling in the physical body), psychometry (receiving an impression by touching a physical object), and healing. 

Claircognizance is an extension of feeling and it means "to know with clarity," beyond the physical feeling. This is the stream that is being utilized when you proclaim "I just know." 

There are two additional, although less common "clairs." Clairaroma which is an extension of physical smell and Clairgustus which is an extension of physical taste.

Every person has a dominant "clair" and it may change over time with growth and as your intuitive understanding matures. When I was a child, my main source of information was clairsentience (feeling) and claircognizance (knowing) with clairvoyance (seeing) in third place and very little clairaudience. I wasn't aware at the time of what I was experiencing though or that most other people did not experience it.  I don't recall experiencing any of the other "clairs." As I got older, clairsentience and claircognizance are still dominant but my clairvoyance and clairaudience have become much stronger than before and I have also had an occasional clairaroma experience.

As you've probably heard before from other intuitives or psychics, everyone has these abilities within them. It's true. Most people however, are conditioned in childhood to believe that these things don't exist or aren't true (or worse). There are exceptions of course. Just like some people are born naturally being able to play the piano without effort when the rest of us have to take lessons and practice; in the same way some people are able to access these abilities with ease when others have to learn and practice. Indigos, who are highly intuitive, are developed in some or all of these extensions of intuition or "clair" abilities  but sometimes, as in my own case, they may be suppressed until later in life. 

Just like with any other muscle, we must use and exercise our "psychic" muscles in order to keep them functioning at their best and to sharpen our skills. We must get in touch with our inner self -- the part that is connected to God/Source/All That Is. We must also take good care of our health and physical body because this is the vehicle through which we not only experience life on earth  but also because it is what we use to send and receive energy while we are here. We are after all, magnificent creative beings of energy or spirit. The healthier and clearer our instruments are, the better the transmissions of energies, the better we can create what we want.

What is an Indigo?

If you would like to know more about Indigos, I think the documentary The Indigo Evolution (full length documentary), which can be viewed for free on YouTube, does a good job at explaining them. It also has a bunch of my favorite people in it! The following is a little bit about it.

"The Indigo Evolution" is a documentary that attempts to answer the question - Are these 'Indigos' only the fanciful notions of a few individuals embracing new-age, metaphysical beliefs, or is there real evidence that they truly do exist? Most importantly, why are they here and how can we help them achieve their goal of creating a world based upon the laws of compassion and peace? Interviews with some of the most profound children on the planet today combined with discussions with authorities in the fields of medicine, psychology, education, philosophy, and religion will provide information for the viewer to draw their own conclusions to these questions.

'The Indigo Evolution' is a documentary about the shifting human, evolving beyond the five sensory perceptions into a multi-sensory being of light ! The term Indigo refers to the Indigo color Aura seen around certain individuals who exhibit certain enhanced abilities well beyond their age and learning. Commonly labeled as suffering from some kind of deficit (ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia ...) these children clearly have more of something most of us fail to recognize. Their non conformance to authority and the social conditioning sometimes earns them the label of being problem children.

Indigo Evolution, a feature-length documentary by James Twyman, was released Jan. 28, 2006 in more than 350 churches and wellness and spiritual centers around the world. The attendance far exceeded expectations, demonstrating how interest in understanding the "Indigo phenomenon" has grown. Indigo Evolution illuminates the lives of children who are referred to as "Indigos." The movie describes them as creative, eccentric and independent. Impatient with the status quo, these children possess a high degree of integrity and intuition. Many are both intelligent and gifted, often in the areas of art and technology, and some are said to bring healing gifts.According to Indigo Evolution, Indigos often sound very wise for their age; however, they are very sensitive physically, emotionally and spiritually, and not always comfortable in their own bodies. They easily experience sensory overload to lights, smells, sounds, touching and toxins, and need help in becoming grounded. Many Indigos have attention and social problems in school and may frequently correct the teacher. While their behaviors vary, their philosophy of life is consistent; they have a high level of social consciousness and desire to make the world a better place. They are here to bring the Dawn of the Golden Age!

Hopi Elders reveal ancient prophecies:

After the premiere test screening of "The Indigo Evolution", the Hopi nation contacted James Twyman, and told him that they were willing to reveal their ancient and guarded secrets about the children of the planet in this movie. The new section containing interviews with Hopi elders about their ancient prophesies and how they relate to the Indigos was added to the documentary. Their message was astounding, and has now become the central theme for the entire film. The Hopi elders shared that it is not too late to reverse the tide of earth cleansing, but only if we come together, and the children have a critical role to play.

And if you want to go yet a little deeper into the subject, you might try these:

 

Though there are more books available on the subject, these are ones I have read so far and would recommend. Have you read others that you liked or found helpful? Let me know!

Update: I just finished reading this wonderful book that I found really helpful as well:

Namaste!

Namaste! After experiencing some profound spiritual experiences known as "awakenings" earlier this year, I have been over-flowing with energy and inspiration to create, share and to help remind others of who they really are -- more so now then ever before, and there is no time like the present! As a result of these awakenings, which actually cause physiological changes in the brain, I have experienced and continue to experience shifts in levels of consciousness among other things. Though the experience is difficult to describe in words,  I understand why it is called an awakening. It is as though you have been somewhat asleep -- or not fully conscious your whole life without even knowing it, and in little increments (or maybe for some it is big increments) you begin waking up and the veil  that separates this three dimensional reality from beyond --  is lifted a little at a time. You become awakened. Your perception changes. Your consciousness changes. This is not something you can learn or study to attain, I am told. It is given by the grace of God or Source or All That Is or whatever name you want to give it. 

Of course each person's experience varies as it is a very personal experience. One of the common effects among people who have this experience of awakening is the quieting of all the mental chatter that goes on in your head and the letting go of judgmental thinking. You begin to shift from a consciousness of separateness to oneness. Another common experience is having moments of feeling such profound and powerful love and joy that is beyond anything you've ever felt before. It is indescribable or ineffable. This is happening to people all over the world. 

For me, it has been the most fun and exciting time of my life. I knew it was going to be a great year and it has been better than I could ever have imagined! I am so blessed! As a result of experiencing a couple of these awakenings earlier this year, I have remembered Who I Really Am. This, is the greatest gift of all. (The energy pouring through me as I write this right now is tremendous.) 

And so, Who I Really Am has to do with the reason I came here, on earth, in this physical body -- now, at this incredible time in human evolution. One of my purposes is to help remind people of Who They Really Are. Another one is to help teach people how to better care for their pets. Not a small feat, huh? Well, I am not alone by any means and besides, do you think I would come here with such a purpose and not be given tools with which to help me accomplish this? Come on, this is Source we are talking about!   :)

In the process I am going through -- and I say process because there is no ending per se--we never stop growing and expanding and evolving -- I have been awakened to the fact that I had been denying Who I Really Am my whole life, up until now (for reasons I will discuss later), which has been 49 years. (That's a long time! H-e-l-l-o Beth?! Am I a late bloomer or what?) I didn't even consciously realize that I was denying it really  -- and that is that  I am what people have labeled (we love labels, don't we?) "Super Sensitive" or Indigos (or Crystals and Cusps). I hadn't even heard of an Indigo (let alone these other terms) until the last decade or so. It really perked my interest, naturally, when I did and I saw a book about them I wanted to get but never did. It's amazing how if you don't seem to be getting a message that you're supposed to be getting, the Universe will keep providing means for which to get it. How I finally got the message I needed to get is amazing too, but I'll save that for another time. 

What is an Indigo? The term was coined by a parapsychologist and clairvoyant in the sixties and seventies, who began seeing indigo colored auras around some children. Indigos, Crystals and Cusps are all categorized by the color of their aura. The color indigo corresponds with the sixth chakra in our energy body, also known as the third eye. Indigo Souls are highly intuitive and  have a very active third eye. In other words, they have what is labeled as (those labels again!) psychic abilities -- clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance, which are the most commonly known, and clairaroma and clairgustus. (I prefer the term intuitive over psychic, myself.) Usually Indigo Souls are also what is known as empathetic or  "Empaths". (This was another h-e-l-l-o moment for me.) Empaths are people who actually can feel other people's emotions and energies. They are extra sensitive to energy and have to be careful not to take on other people's emotions, energies or even physical illnesses. Most, if not all Indigos are Empaths but not all Empaths are Indigos.

Maybe you've heard of Indigos (or Super Sensitives, Crystals or Cusps). Maybe you've read some of the books about them or have seen the documentary about them that came out in recent years. Maybe your child is one. Maybe you are one. Or maybe you know someone who is or you're just curious about them. Not all Indigos are necessarily aware that they are Indigos either. Look at me! I just became aware of the fact that I am one in mid life. But I also know there are no coincidences and so, this was how it is supposed to be. Now is the right time for me.

So long story short, due to these awakenings, I have remembered Who I Really Am and why I am here -- or at least one of the main reasons, and that is to use my gifts (each one of us has them!) to bring more light and love to the world in this important time in our human evolution. So I thought I'd start with this blog so I can share what I have learned along my path -- and continue to learn and discover, with the intention that those who will benefit from it, will be led to it. That I can accomplish what I came here to do and that is to help remind people of Who They Really Are -- magnificent, powerful beings; extensions of source energy.

I would like to mention just for the record that I was raised religion-less (of which I am grateful). In other words, with no specific religion. When someone would ask what religion I was growing up, I had no idea what to say and if I did give an answer just to give one, it had no meaning to me.  I went to a couple of Sunday school classes with my grandparents under the age of five, of which I have little to no recall. I do not consider myself religious but have respect for all religions. When I got to be an adult I did begin regularly attending a non-denominational place of meditation and prayer that my mother started attending back in the mid-eighties. A progressive place that is about inspiring you to be all that you were created to be. A place about oneness and unity. It's called Unity of Houston. This is where I have received a lot of the food for my soul, including the Oneness Blessings and Oneness Meditations, which led to my awakenings. But that's me. Everyone has their own place or whatever (or not) where they receive their "soul food" and that's perfect. And not that you even have to go any where to receive it. We are all  unique and I love that. I'm just letting you know a little of my background in this regard. To me, religions are just another category with labels of which none fit for me. I am a spiritual being having a human experience. Period.

I would also like to say that these "awakenings" and the remembering of Who I Really Am and all that entails, did not happen in an instant or over night. It has been accumulative. And it continues. We never stop expanding, if we will just allow.

I look forward to sharing the love and light that is flowing through me as I continue on my journey.
