Transitioning in 2012. One of the greatest things to hit us is self hatred and shame. A light is being shone into the depths of our psyche, and many old feelings are rising to the surface. Of course it must be looked at. But it is not for dwelling upon. It is a time of transformation, a time for rising to the surface and then releasing.

During this time of ascension, it may be that illness may come to you or to those closest to you. Something is needing healing and detoxifying out of your lineage. Get yourself into community, ground yourself in spiritual practice, and be with a teacher that can assist you with illuminating what is real and what is a distraction. Having these things does not make you less independent, rather it strengthens your energy grid, the larger grid of humanity and the world. These 3 things, a spiritual practice, community and a therapist/coach/teacher all can bring you into the larger ascension, it is your contribution to the larger whole.

In finding a teacher or therapist, make sure to have someone that can support you with your intuition and that can also help you stay grounded. The mind is wily, our emotions habitual, and the ego strong. The ego knows that it is becoming less important and it will throw a tantrum in the form of addiction, becoming driven to succeed, and other distractive type behaviors that keep you from your full potential and soul expression.

Diet is important now. Our healing potential is accelerating. Stay away from sugar. It is the greatest neurotoxin, and the one we can most easily control. To counteract the craving of sugar, use Bragg’s raw apple cider vinegar. One tsp to 8 oz of water. To counteract salt, use celery juice. To counteract fat, use more ghee and extravirgin olive oil (unless your mind is very hyper and strung out, then use ghee). Eat at regular times, with largest meal in the middle of day when the fire of the day is strongest. Have vegetable juices. Have a regular sleep schedule and time for quiet everyday

Over the next several weeks, I will be writing more about the ascension process, with a particular focus on the shadow or self hatred and shame (SHaS).
