Echoside: Phoenix Rose

I have been thinking about this for some time now, as we are shifting to 5D consciousness, I had seen a group discussion on FB on the topic that since we are striving for 5D why bother working with the first 7 chakras when we should be working with the chakras above Soul Star. I did not partake in the discussion at the time (months ago, can no longer find where I seen it) however, I have went within and found my answers. Chakras 1-7 reside in the body, the Root and Crown bridging us to Upper and Lower Worlds, chakras 8-13 are in our Auric field First, before working with chakras 8-13 and above, I have some self-reflective questions.  What is the condition of your chakras between the Earth and Soul Star chakras? Are they functioning at optimal levels? Do you work with them everyday, or on a scheduled weekly routine? Are they under- or over-active, spinning out of control or not spinning at all? This is why we work with the "basic" chakras. Because a lot of people do n...

Today's featured deck is Steven D. Farmer's Messages From Your Animal Spirit Guides Oracle Cards Back in 2014 this was the first oracle deck that I received.  Prior to that I only worked with tarot.  Oracle cards were a new-to-me thing.  I had asked the Universe for signs of my power animal, long story short, this deck popped out to me one day at Chapters, it wasn't even in the right section, which worked out for me! Septarian and Clear Quartz Crystals shown with deck Ladybug "This is a time of good fortune and abundance, so be willing to receive all good things in your life." The ladybug is small, yet mighty.  Things are happening, and quickly.  This card is definitely resonating with what I see in the collective.  The veil between the worlds, the separation between the physical and astral used to only thin during certain times of the year, such as Beltaine or Samhain.  However, lately the veil has been thinning over the years.  In a n...

It has been said that by around January 15th people give up on their resolutions, often because they made one failure, had one cheat day on their diet, smoked a cigarette, the list goes on.  Upon hearing this statistic I was determined not to allow that to happen to me, call it determination or stubbornness, either way upon reaching the Jan 15th date.... Things seemed to pick up momentum!  It was absolutely fabulous to have such a positive push despite any failures up until this point. There are big changes coming for my family and my business this year.  I know, I know, since creating this blog there has been nothing but changes around here.  I set on a journey to answer things like "what is magic?" and "how to incorporate a spiritual life into the mundane world?" I have been doing nothing but learning about how it all works, and how to work it all. If you have given up on your "New Me for 2017" due to what you see as failures, mistakes, set backs, pl...

When I say "collective" I am referring to the collective consciousness of this Earth, perhaps even the entire Universe.  I have seen it work through many people that have no awareness of the other person.  Think of it in terms like this, how two people on opposite ends of the earth can come up with very similar ideas and inventions, even before the internet this phenomenon was happening. There was a lot of synchronicity last week for Root / Base chakra energy and healing.  I decided to run a workshop with some close friends.  It turns out many of them had the same thoughts on the chakra work, then it started popping up that others were running similar workshops!  It's really amazing when you think about it. This week we are running Sacral chakra energy and healing.  The theme comes again, running through many different channels.  People working on masculine/feminine energies, someone randomly deciding to paint a wall orange.  People are gettin...
