I am sure you have heard many times about how important it is to forgive. And I am sure you have experienced that it is easier said than done. So, I thought it fitting to share what I believe to be the most effective way to find the path of Acceptance Forgiveness and Self-Love.
I have experienced a number of traumatic and violent events in my early life, which I had devotedly worked on at an emotional level.
What I didn’t know was my spirit needed to witness a powerful personal re-cognising of my past before it could release its husk of former pain. I needed to know I was truly ready to move forward in my life as a new version of myself.
How I experienced the shift was through the natural but powerful release of the fear and shock that had been locked in my amazing vessel; my body. That energy was locked tight in my body for 38 years waiting for its time to be naturally released. It brought to the surface the need to Accept and Forgive. Now that didn’t mean I condone particular behaviour, what it meant was that I accept that I could NOT change the pain of my past, even though I wished I could, many times over I wanted the nightmare to just disappear.
But the truth is it did happen to me and the time had come to not brush it aside and just get on with life. No, the time had come to look at it for what it was and say, “I accept that these terrible things happened to me” because that is the truth and a reality I have to live with.
It was only then that I was able to truly forgive with every fiber of my body and being.
Here is an example of how I found my own acceptance and forgiveness; you may have a situation or someone you want to be set free from.
“I accept that I was violently attacked and sexually abused by a heartless young man when I was 16….
And I forgive him anyway.”
I also added
“I also accept that I made a series of bad choices that night…
And I forgive and love myself anyway.”
This simple but amazing process of acceptance and forgiveness gave me back my power.
This process of acceptance and forgiveness can also work well for healing the Pain Points in past life integration and new narrative therapy.
So often we give up our power – sometimes it’s in huge proportions, but most of the time it’s in many small moments, which we think won’t matter. What happens though is all those small moments add up to a mountain of your power, which is sitting somewhere with your name on it.
I invite you to take back your POWER and live a life of true acceptance, forgiveness, and self-love.
The following is my latest extended narrative and timeline that I have crafted into my past life as a young woman who moved from Chicago to Hollywood. – I share this version with you, as it provides a clear example of what’s possible when creating an extended story for a past life that needs some tender loving care and a new timeline.
Chasing The Dream
I was just a young girl from Chicago when I moved to Los Angelos in 1918, chasing my dream of a brand new life in sunny California. My childhood had been one of love and hardship; I came from a large family that struggled to keep us warm and provide food for eight children. Leaving home at 15 wasn’t met with sadness but as a relief that there was one less child to house and feed.
Sunset Boulevard is where I landed my first real job, just as movie studios were starting to pop up. I found lodgings at a lovely guesthouse owned by Mrs. Summertown, whom I soon affectionately called Auntie Ruth. She was so warm and generous, giving me an extra layer of confidence in this new world.
My pretty room had a cozy sitting area and a large window that let the sun in each day, filling the space with soft golden light. As I walked up and down streets looking for more work, I knew my few hours at the local 5 and 10 store weren’t enough, it was one of my friendly co-workers who suggested trying the studios. I hadn’t considered the studio idea before, and it was Auntie Ruth who remembered that movie people had often stayed at her guesthouse. Thankfully it was these connections that helped me get a proper job at the new Chaplin Studios. Each day, I showed up brimming with enthusiasm to do set dressing and assisting with wardrobe.
My Approach Seem To Worked
Working at the studio with Mr Chaplin was like nothing I had even seen, he was creative, innovative and sometimes difficult. However, I just focused on my role and what I could do to help. My approach seemed to worked well in this creative space, and I loved working with all the other people on set and behind the scenes. One day Mr. Max Factor came to the studio to show Mr. Chaplin his new method; the Colour Harmony principle of “make-up”.
A term still used today, make-up shades were coordinated to complement a women’s natural complexion, eye, and hair colouring. – It was then that Mr. Chaplin asked if I would like to work with Max for a year and come back and train the team. I did my year with Mr. Max Factor and was sent back to the studio. As fate would have it my role had been taken up by another young woman and I was sent bank to Max Factor. However, it wasn’t long before I was asked to join the hair and makeup team at the new Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios.
I often had the opportunity to watch the master of glamour Mr. Max Factor as he worked his magic on stars like Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, and Bette Davis. But I found my real calling when I was asked to help in the editing suite. I took to it like a duck to water, quickly learning to shape stories from scattered film reels. The editing room felt like an alchemist’s workshop, where raw footage transformed into mesmerizing tales.
My life at the studio was a whirlwind of creativity and glamour. Amid the swirl of activity, a handsome extra named Gordon caught my eye with his vibrant magenta turban. We started dating, and Gordon surprised me with my first real birthday party for my 18th, filling me with sheer delight. The party was a dazzling affair, with music, birthday cake, singing, dancing and champagne.
Dreamy-eyed World Came Crashing Down
But my dreamy-eyed world came crashing down when I realised Gordon had been cozying up to me merely to learn my editing style and skills. When I discover he’d conned his way into taking my editing job I was devastated, embarrassed and became quite ill. Still heartbroken on my return, I was reassigned elsewhere on the lot
I emerged from that experience wounded but determined. I now knew that Hollywood could be a place where dreams and bitter disappointments intermingled. My heart had been scared, but it did heal, and I kept my career as both an editor at MGM and a makeup assistant with Mr. Max Factor himself.
I vowed never again to let a smooth-talker take advantage of me. I was a woman making her own way in this new frontier of movie making and no man was going to get in my way again. I knew I was good at what I did and was confident that I would continue to live my passion and purpose with a healthy dose of self-love.
Passion and Purpose
As the years passed, I became a respected film editor. My keen eye for shaping powerful narratives from raw footage made me an invaluable part of the dream-making machinery. I worked on many iconic films through the tumultuous years of the Great Depression and World War II.
My time with Max Factor proved fortunate. I became an expert in the revolutionary new camera-friendly makeup techniques he pioneered. This allowed me to work closely with all the biggest stars, perfecting their looks on the silver screen. My unique double role straddling editing and makeup made me one of the most versatile artists in the business.
In 1935, I finally opened my heart again and married a kind set designer named James. Our wedding was a magical evening under the stars, with some of Hollywood’s best in attendance. We had two children together, creating my little family at last after those chilly and hungry Chicago days. Though my beloved James passed away too soon in 1948, I carried on, raising my children with the same grit and passion I brought to crafting every film frame.
Over the decades, I helped guide cinema through numerous evolutions—the coming of sound, brilliant Technicolor, widescreen formats, and more. One of my career highlights was making “The Wizard Of Oz”; it was such a turning point for the industry. The creative vision of many I’ve worked with has contributed to countless movies that have moved millions and become a new form of storytelling.
As I entered my golden years in the 1950s, I embraced the innovative new creatives bulding the new Hollywood while trying to impart my hard-earned wisdom from my journey. Though the movie capital had drastically changed since those dizzying early days, the thrill of spinning magic from the costumes, lights and action has never faded.
In 1957, at 54, I peacefully passed away, surrounded by loved ones. My cup runneth over, having spent my life living out my dream within those studio walls. I witnessed from the inside as cinema bloomed from a novelty into a mighty artistic force.
My life’s work helping to craft images that resonated worldwide brought me tremendous pride and a sense of passion that was well rewarded. After all, I was that young dreamer who made it through, I always faced my struggles and a cruel betrayal. Movies became my life, my purpose—all because I took a chance on the new frontier that was Hollywood.
The recent solar eclipse has undoubtedly been a powerful and transformative event for many of us. As the eclipse energies continue to reverberate through our lives, it’s clear that each individual is being impacted in their own unique way.
One of the most significant effects of this cosmic event is the profound upgrade in collective consciousness that is occurring. For those who have completed the necessary soul lessons from the previous timeline, this period represents a true spiritual graduation for humanity.
We are being elevated to new levels of awareness and understanding, paving the way for our continued evolution.
Particularly those of us who have been vibrating in the mid-4D realm are now starting to catch glimpses of the 5D and 8D and up to 12D consciousness. This shift brings with it a new set of challenges and lessons, often centred around the theme of letting go of control.
Many of us may be finding that patterns, behaviours, and beliefs that once served us are now being brought to the surface, demanding to be released. The need to surrender control and trust the divine unfolding of our lives is a powerful theme emerging during this time.
However, it’s crucial to recognize the importance of integration during this transformative period. As new levels of consciousness and awareness emerge, it’s vital that we take the time to fully integrate these new celestial codes and shifts within our physical, emotional, and mental bodies. Rushing forward without this integration can lead to imbalance and disharmony.
The process of emergence is also a key aspect of this journey. As we release the old and embrace the new, we are birthing a higher version of ourselves, one that is more aligned with the higher frequency of 5D consciousness and beyond. This emergence is not just a mental or spiritual transformation, but a profound union between our Higher Self and our Physical Self.
As these two aspects of our being come into greater alignment, we experience a profound sense of wholeness, authenticity, and embodiment. We are no longer divided or fragmented, but rather, we are fully integrated and present in our lives. This union of the Higher Self and the Physical Self is a hallmark of the 5D experience, and it is a powerful testament to the evolutionary leaps we are making as a collective.
If you are resonating with this experience, know that you are not alone. This is a collective journey, and the more we can come together, share our stories, and support one another, the more gracefully we can navigate these transformative energies.
I invite you to share your own insights and experiences in the comments below. What themes or lessons are you encountering in the aftermath of the solar eclipse?
How are you navigating the delicate balance of control and surrender, as well as the integration and emergence of your Higher Self and Physical Self?
Let’s explore this journey together, as we collectively ascend to new heights of consciousness.
I have always been sceptical when people claimed they could see or sense others’ past lives; my “alarm bells” would go off. However, as I began to explore my past-life memories, I realized it wasn’t just the content of what I was remembering but also the way my body was recalling those experiences. Through focused attention and a clarity of intention, I uncovered memories of six past lives that seamlessly mirror areas of my current journey in different variations.
After spending a year immersed in integrating those past life experiences and crafting a new personal narrative, combined with my 35 years of experience as a transformation consultant, I’ve come to embrace a new understanding of the reality of past lives and inter-dimensional realities. I encourage you to approach this with an open mind and prepare to embark on a rewarding journey.
I still believe that it’s not appropriate to enter, voice or project ones ideas of another person’s past life simply because it’s not their past life. A person’s past life is indeed accessible if they are ready, willing, and available to do the necessary work.
The portal you enter may lead you to places you didn’t even realize you had been before.
I now know our past life experiences are a rich, vibrant, and largely untapped resource available to us in this lifetime. I’m genuinely grateful to have accessed these extraordinary and sacred visions and memories, and I hope you’ll join me in exploring your transformative potential at a Wisdom Of The Ages | Workshop.
During the month of April in the Living Goddess Code we focus on the lovely energy of the Maiden archetype and our spiritual connection to the natural world that we occupy.
The arrival of April also marks the initiation of a unique three-month journey within the realm of emotions. This experience encompasses the months of April, May, and June, each of which plays a pivotal role in developing your Emotional Self and the deep connection to your Higher Self. Through this cycle, the seeds of insight are sown, guiding you towards nurturing your soul’s ultimate purpose. This time is often called crossing the threshold into the Emotional Realm.
The month of the Maiden archetype is the perfect time to dive deep into her relaxed and flexible energy. Even if the Maiden isn’t your specific archetype in this realm, I still recommend you allow the powerful archetypal and angelic forces of the Maiden to enter your life this month, it’s also possible that your ancestors or you have lived several lifetimes with the Maiden and Otter archetype. You may well have a few Maiden codes in your Souls DNA.
Autonomy kindles the flames of discovery and nurtures the roots of empowerment. Autonomy is a cornerstone for personal growth, weaving a narrative of self-direction and unfolding the wings of independence. In the moments of decision-making, the light of individuality finds its way, a harmonious melody resonating with ownership and purpose. Autonomy transcends mere existence; it transforms life into an evolving masterpiece, where each choice and action paint strokes of intention across your life experience. With autonomy as your compass, you journey each chapter of self-learning and development, as written not by circumstance, but by the choices that shape your destiny.
The following is my latest extended narrative and timeline that I have crafted into my past life as a child in the circus France and then my life in Montreal. – I share this version with you, as it provides a clear example of what’s possible when creating an extended story for a past life that needs some tender loving care and a new timeline.
The Circus and The Cake Shop
In the realm of the circus, where abnormity held sway, My mother, a trapeze artist, in that world did play. Josephine was my name, a child of spectacle in this strange domain.
Childhood was not a haven, in this nomadic show, A world of child labour, where neglect would grow. Left in a yard, the offspring of those who soared, In huts and props, a life often ignored.
A collection of children, diverse in their years, The older ones became caregivers, suppressing their fears. Influenced by outcast performers, and their bizarre ways, An unsafe norm, yet friendship ablaze.
Until one day, a trapeze partner took heed, Witnessed my plight, a tormented misdeed. At five years old, we departed that circus stage, Leaving behind applause, my sparkling mother, a talented trapeze sage.
To Canada, we sailed, a new chapter began, Montreal’s allure, a place bathed in the sun. Our French tongue spoken, and understood with care, Mother was a drawcard; her grace and finesse were rare.
In the city of Quebec, my life took root, Dreams of a cake shop bloomed, with flowers to suit. A haven of love, confections so sweet, A tranquil embrace, where joy and life could meet. Françoise, my love, a new adventure to behold, On roads we traveled, our destinies unfold.
Married and settled, Quebec is our home, And my pretty cake shop flourished, where seeds of love were sown. Motherhood and business were happily combined, A tapestry neatly woven, life’s joys intertwined.
The War brought trials, and stole Françoise’s sight, Yet his quiet presence each day, was a beacon of light. A community together, a strong bridge we built, Leftover bread we shared and a good gesture was felt. It became a healing balm for my childhood’s pain, Our cafe thrived, with love’s reframe.
My Françoise’s passing cast a shadow so deep, Yet the laughter of our children, I found a promise to keep. Memories lingered like vanilla’s sweet scent, A life well-lived, with love’s precious intent.
As my girls forged their paths with poise and grace, Elsie, now a trapeze artist, claimed the space.
Our cafe walls were adorned with Mama’s shining splendour And now Elsie wore Mama’s costume with sweet pride upon her
Generations abundant, a legacy blazing true, Strength in women was shining through.
Inevitably, the cosmic tale called my name, A fleeting illness claimed me, and my gentle transition came.
In a dream, my beloved whispered to me, “It’s time, my little Angel, Come see, Come see.” My Mama and Françoise took my hand and I soared high, into a glorious dance, And just like that, I was taken up by the cosmic currents, of celestial chance.
