This year has just whizzed right by! Time has been accelerating faster than ever. It’s hard to believe that it’s already Autumn. Before we know it the snow will be flying and Christmas will be here! With all the challenges we all have been experiencing this year globally, as well as, individually; there is bound to be some confusion to say the least.
So many are finding themselves in predicaments that they just are not sure how to handle whether it be relationship issues, financial struggle, emotional trauma or even just the burdens of everyday life in general. These are indeed times of chaos, confusion, fear and uncertainty but it doesn’t have to be that way!
When we are fearful or dwell on our troubles it tends to amplify them bringing out our worst fears thereby creating even more problems to deal with! How many times have you found yourself in a situation in which you really didn’t know what to do, how to handle it or how to overcome the limitations and obstacles that are standing in your way?
Our lives have been filled with plenty of trials and tribulations over the last few decades if not longer. Does it seem that you’ve lost your direction in life with everything changing so fast along the way? Are you constantly finding yourself trapped in a vicious cycle that just never seems to end no matter what you do? Are you stuck in the proverbial Catch 22?
Is your life spinning out of control and you have no clue where to start to pick up the pieces and start anew?
In these times of difficulty, sometimes we feel very alone in our troubles and worries. We have great ideas and intentions but sometimes we can’t seem to make leeway for all the obstacles and limitations that get in our way. And if you’re not aware of all the shifts that are occurring upon and within our planet and humanity then you probably are really unsure of what to do or if you can improve your circumstances because you’ve been stuck in a rut for so long.
Let’s face it, at this point in time, our whole economical and ecological system have become chaotic and feels unstable and as a result you’re probably feeling the effects in more ways than just your pocketbook! Physically many individuals are plagued with bizarre, inexplicable symptoms and health problems that doctors aren’t sure how to treat. They may treat a whole myriad of symptoms; but in reality it offers very little relief from the intense pain and shifting that is also occurring within our bodies just as it is within many aspects of our planet.
If any of these things ring a bell for you, then chances are you’re probably feeling like you’re losing your mind and need a little help to move beyond this stagnate state and find a way to rid yourself of a lot of turmoil and chaos that just seems to keep mounting higher and higher. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed when there are so many things happening all at once which leaves us feeling even more vulnerable and confused.
Sometimes we just need a little shove in the right direction or insight into our life in order to figure out how to ascend above our limitations. As well as, emotional support to help us through the difficult times. There are various ways to approach these problems but if you’re having to do it alone that can really pose a challenge as the world around you seems to be deteriorating quickly and changing abruptly.
Tarot is a wonderful tool that has been around for centuries that helps assist individuals in making sense of their life in it’s many aspects, cycles and transitional phases. Used for divination, it helps people find understanding through looking at their circumstances objectively in order to discover the underlying elements that are affecting their life.
As a diverse tool, there are many approaches to divining a person’s future but first we must understand and come to terms with situations within the past that may have hindered us or created a series of lessons to learn in order to move forward. All too often though, these lessons become a vicious cycle if we do not understand the process and underlying message. That’s why Tarot is so useful because it allows a person to see what has happened in the past that has brought them to this present point in time.
From there, we can accurately assess the situation with more knowledge of what the root of the problem really is thereby expanding our perception of what is truly occurring in our lives behind the scenes that is responsible for creating the very circumstances that plague us everyday. This provides us insight that can help us discover positive and creative solutions in order to truly overcome whatever obstacles may be blocking us.
Through looking at the past and present circumstances, we can get a good overview of what we can expect in the near future if we utilize the advice provided by the Tarot. It will also give us a good idea of what may occur if we continue on the same course of action which provides us with options to change the outcome based upon our thinking, attitudes and actions.
If you’re really looking for answers in your life, you don’t have to wander around aimlessly pulling straws hoping it’ll be the right one to fix all your problems anymore. That’s right, I’m here to help you find some peace in your life and find creative ways to help you achieve your goals, improve your life and regain power and control over it!
Not only do I interpret the Tarot cards, but I also apply various other principles as well to each reading. Additionally, I look at what influences are surrounding each individual energetically and physically. What elements are at play within each individual’s life and how is it affecting them? What type of alchemical processes are you going through and how is it manifesting itself (Physically, Mentally, Emotionally or Spiritually)? I also check to see where each individual is out of balance energetically and physically what health issues may be trying to influence your everyday life.
As a Healer who has trained in various styles, methods and modalities I commonly encounter individuals who are having trouble processing all that is occurring within their lives. Often times, the chakras aka energy centers are blocked by inner debris such as deep seated childhood traumas, repressed emotions, and even karmic issues that are still needing to be released. With all the upheavals that our planet is experiencing our bodies are equally feeling those transitions and shifts profoundly. If there are energetic blockages at the root of the pain and discomfort you may be feeling everyday, then you may need some help in clearing out those energy centers in order for everything to flow more smoothly; thereby removing the root of the problem and creating balance in that aspect of your life again as each chakra represents a specific aspect of our life.
The world around us if often times the mirroring image of what is going on within us, as well as, how well we are adapting to those changes. With all the volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes and other natural earth changes it is no wonder there are so many left feeling the physical and emotional effects of those very changes within our own bodies as a forced purging of all that inner debris, emotional and mental clutter that we have with us. These great shifts in the earth can create drastic shifts within us as well creating a lot of confusion and fear because of not knowing what is occurring within our bodies and life around us seems to be crumbling. Sometimes there are great emotional purgings that bring to the surface thoughts and feelings that stem from the past or even other past lives including the cellular memory of this planet, as well as, that of the collective consciousness of mankind. This can be frighting and if you don’t understand the process that is occurring then it can really seem overwhelming and instill a lot of fear which only intensifies what is happening. But this is all an illusion as is many things within our lives and this alchemical process breaks everything down in order to transform us from within and awaken us to our divinity, purpose and potential.
These events are typically termed Dark Night’s of the Soul and are a known phenomenon throughout the centuries and while it can be the most frightening experience of your life, it can also be the most liberating moment as well. Sometimes we need help getting through these processes and as a Kundalini Facilitator, Ordained Minister and Metis I help assist individuals who are having these experiences to find understanding and to ease the discomfort often times associated with this difficult process. And having someone to help CAN make all the difference in the world! Which is exactly why I am here to help assist those who are awakening to provide insight, understanding, as well as, emotional support.

Be honest, how many times have you looked at yourself; I mean, really looked at yourself and paid attention to the various changes that are occurring daily in which affect your life and the reflection you cast upon the world around you?
How often have you looked within the mirror and saw your reflection distorted or you appeared younger or even considerably aged compared to the day before? When purifying ourselves at such a deep cellular level, we are regenerating ourselves from the inside out preparing our vessel to be able to anchor pure divine energy at highly concentrated and potent levels while physically channeling that love, light and divine will into the world, as well as, into our own lives and those we come in contact with.
When we are filled with anxiety, worry, negative self talk and thoughts, we carry not only our burdens upon our shoulders but we also tend to physically show our stress and insecurities. These energies and thought-forms weigh us down considerably thus also making us appear fatigued, worn down and out right most people can tell that something is either bothering us or we’re sick; when in reality we’re just sick of the bullshit and it does tend to show by our looks, our attitudes and how we react to things or situations regarding others.
And we all should know by now, if we look like crap 9 x’s out of 10 we usually feel like it too. We tend to wear our stress on our faces and how negatively it is affecting us whether we’re consciously aware of it or not. But if we are happy, passionate and look forward to the day with a positive attitude most likely you look younger, feel better and in most cases life is a lot easier to deal with, not to mention physically, mentally and emotionally things improve within your life even if in small ways.
Surely you can notice a pattern if you pay attention to how our thoughts, actions and moods transform our experiences and reality. Then we can more easily identify common triggers that wear us down, make us feel old and sometimes down right awful; not to mention often times bewildered, frustrated and even more confused with what’s occurring with our bodies inside and out.
Like a snake that has shed it’s skin, we are physically raw and sore from all the transmuting that has been taking place on such deep levels within our beingness. As we too have shed more of the layers of our ego in order to expand, grow and become even more clearer channels of divine will.
In this phase, we are super sensitive to the slightest stimuli regardless of it’s source. And often times find ourselves purging physically as well via sudden intolerances to foods and beverages that used to satisfy us but during various transitions they cause severe heartburn, digestive issues and inexplicable ailments as our bodies further purge the toxins and debris from within. Often times there are gall bladder and appendix attacks also that tend to surface during those times.
Back, neck, chest and severe headaches all signal upper body chakras being forced open by the kundalini as more heightened crystalline light energy permeates our beingness. Everything is being brought into a state of quickening. Some days, our physical bodies feel as if they’ve been put through the wringer and we wonder how we’ll make it through the day let alone deal with everything that’s on our To-Do List to take care of our families and responsibilities.
It is also very common to have a lot of transitional flu symptoms, upper respiratory infections, as well as sinus infections during these purgings as our bodies are being acclimated to a heightened awareness of our senses. Sometimes, it is when we are at rest and still that our bodies can do the most acclimating and healing but all too often we’re so busy-that we don’t always take time to meditate, attune to or just simply take time to nurture ourselves so we are often times forced to have some downtime in order to successfully receive the necessarily energetic attunements and healing we need to keep from short circuiting ourselves out.
Just like a newborn baby, as we rebirth ourselves remember that we must nurture and nourish ourselves to continue the positive flow of higher spiritual energies to maintain our pureness after the major purging and rebirthing process. We must treat ourselves with gentleness and take the extra time to pamper ourselves in order to fully benefit from the great purification that is occurring globally and within humanity itself.
Once we become lighter, purer and cleansed by the alchemical fires that help us to ascend and unite all aspects of ourselves into the here and now through the process of integration; then think of it as a chance to start over anew with our lifestyles and diets, as well as, letting go of addictions and bad habits. To fall back into old habits only defeats the purpose and refills our sacred space with toxins that we just spent a long time ridding ourselves of. So becoming super conscious of ourselves in everything that we do in positive and healing ways will not only benefit us but also propel us even further upon the path of enlightenment and ascension.
Now that Summer is officially over, the cooler air has begun to blow our bodies need for additional care to help maintain better balance. With all that we’ve endured over the years trying to take care of others, it is now time to take better care of ourselves so that we may improve our and take better care of our own lives. Our outlook in how we feel and look can be a beneficial tool to help us become more confident and accepting of ourselves.
That’s why it’s important to get up everyday and find ways to make yourself feel beautiful, more vibrant and empowered. Just like the clothes we wear can influence how we feel so too can our moods, our stressors and daily burdens which all can be transformed into a more positive experience via adjusting our thoughts and how we react to situations.
For example if you wear certain colors they can make you feel more powerful and confident; so too is the way you present yourself to the world and if your stressed to the max and all frumpy looking chances are others will not take you seriously and will probably think that you have lost control of your life and are so filled with apprehension and fear that what you say may lead to an over-exaggerated version of what’s really going on.
Whereas if you act cool, calm and collected and present yourself confidently to the world despite the obstacles it will change the way in which you react to those obstacles and most likely, creatively help you devise a solution to overcome those limitations than if you were in an anxiety ridden state of mind trying to deal with the situations.
Not only do we need to become more tolerant of other people’s wrong doings but also our own. Choose from which state of beingness we want to operate in so that we can make the most of our lives and opportunities available to us or continue to be overwhelmed caught in a vicious cycle that seems never-ending.
And finally, by taking better care of ourselves, and taking the time to nourish our bodies in every aspect we can more easily adapt to the changes and our circumstances will not be as difficult to deal with. Not to mention the added benefits of how we look and feel! After all, we’re all worth it! And with the immense amount of karmic clearing we’ve been doing it’s a necessity if we want to remain youthful and young of heart as long as possible. For nothing ages us faster than stress and dwelling on the negatives. So make sure to take plenty of time to balance work with play, as well as, make taking time to nurture yourself a priority in your life.
We all deserve to pamper ourselves and enjoy life to the fullest so what are you waiting for?
Much Love and Many Blessings,
~Akia winterhawk

This is a poem I channeled 11-1-2005 that denotes the soul’s journey from the darkness into the light of knowing, of the process releasing our inner debris. I am sharing it because it still is very much a process that many are going through right now.
Darkness of Night
by Akia Winterhawk
I have walked through the shadows of darkness in search of the light. Many places my journey has taken me both near and far. I have seen within the Great Smoking Mirror, a reflection of myself. The parts of me that are filled with pain and anguish that lie hidden in the dark.
I saw within the mirror of these places that had been left hidden their influences thwarting my efforts at reaching the light. I saw things within that I did not recognize for they had been transformed by the negativity and now were like a vampire draining my life; keeping me further from the light.
Within the shadows I became lost amongst these things that
were no longer what they once appeared as I searched deeper
into the night.
Corridors and places I never knew existed I found in the darkness within that tunneled around in labyrinths meant to confuse my vision in the darkness of night.
Scared and fleeting, I tried to run. But to where? There was no where in sight but more perplexing confusion deep within the night. I was lost and deeper than I had ever journeyed before; I felt no escape from the darkness of night.
I began to panic but that only made it harder to navigate
so I did the only thing I knew to do and that was to cry.
Bellowing deep within the tears came rushing by from deep
within the night. The darkness surrounding me in every direction how could I make it out alive?
Then far into the distance, a glimmering of light.
Blinking back the tears to clear my eyes to see if
I had seen it right. So far away it appeared;
how could I possibly make it there within the
darkness of night?
Still confused and uncertain, I sat down for awhile
to figure out what to do in order to reach the light.
My heart cried out heavily at the obstacles that
were between me and the light. I felt no one could
save me from the darkness of night.
Somehow, the river of tears began to subside and
my mind was fixated on the light that shown
deep within the darkness of night.
I tried to run but I fell onto my knees amidst
the darkness of night. Not knowing what to do
in order to pass through this barrier between me and the light. I began to crawl like a child within the darkness of night.
I found debris that was blocking the way between me and the
light. What was I to do so that I could be nearer to the light?
I found things I had forgotten, that were tucked deep inside
the darkness of night. Emotions, pain and strife that I
had never dealt with and had tucked them deep inside.
And nothing was more important at this moment but
to reach the light within the darkness of night.
I tried to crawl over them but the debris was too high
I began to panic but that did no good and then it donned
on me, that I must work through these things hidden
inside to release them from the darkness of night.
So many things I had hidden within that became filled
with the darkness of night. But how could this be for
I am a good and decent person on the outside? I thought for a what seemed like hours in the darkness of night of how I allowed these things to fill me inside.
The more I thought and began to realize the small things
I had ignored and repressed had built up strongly in
the darkness of night. Fueled by their negative energy
laying stagnated deep inside.
Crawling through the bowels of darkness, striving for the
light, One-by-One, I experienced these things hidden within
the darkness of night. How long must I wade through
all this debris before I can touch the light?
Day by Day, Night by Night, deep within I was searching
within the darkness of night. Trying to release the debris
that kept me from reaching the light. Days stretched into
weeks and months as I worked on releasing the darkness of night. Years later still seeking the light. But I no longer needed to crawl as the debris became less and less within the darkness of night.
One day, I began to notice how much stronger I had become
sifting through and removing the clutter deep within the night. The light I was seeking was beginning to appear more bright. How much longer must I remain within the darkness of night until I am one with the light?

Taking a look back in history throughout all of the ages, prominent key figures bring knowledge and light into the world. This predates back to the beginning of time as we know it physically within this earthly realm. These “beacons of light” are found in every culture, religion and belief system that is recorded and known as far back as times of antiquity before any written system. This can be validated through studying ancient civilizations that utilized a pictorial system to denote these key figures, as well as, to record the unfoldment of mankind from the viewpoint of that particular culture and belief system established from the earliest known periods of history.
Scholars worldwide try to understand and interpret these depictions found throughout the world scattered in many directions. However, they all seem to have the similar underlying story; just wrapped in a different book cover so to speak. From the ancient Mayans and Aztecs, ancient Sumerians and Babylonians, ancient Egyptians and Native Americans recorded in stone are varying viewpoints of creation, the hierarchy and cycle of life are all found along with a commonality of understanding the Universal Source of Creation and everything’s interconnection within the rhythms,harmonics and energy of All That Is resonates within us as well therefore emphasizing on our origination being that of divine seed.
For many systems of understanding there was a necessity to recognize this aspect within one’s self. For each soul is like a star twinkling in the galaxy collectively they all create the expansiveness of our universe, a prism reflecting the endless possibilities of every aspect and quality that makes up the whole. Each person a sparkling gem within the great prism of life, all exhibiting the same universal understanding that while we are all separate individuals, collectively we make up the totality of All That Is. In essence, we are all a part of the Creative Life Force. We are one and the same, just varying aspects of every fathomable possibility. Within the Field of Potential there is unlimited possibilities each of us have become the varying degrees, attributes and faces within that field and have become the essence of that divine seed made manifest physically incarnate in the world.
Each aspect dependent of free will but collectively all make up All That Is. All that is of creation has it’s own rhythm and cycle of evolution. Synchronistically everything is kept in magnificent balance with precision and timing each a pertinent part of the whole. Everything that is known and unknown, seen and unseen relies on this impeccable timing of the Great Alchemist the very source of our beingness that also resides within known, yet unknown for the veils of darkness have clouded the memory banks of all that has been encoded within our DNA. But upon awakening this latent knowledge and energy universal knowledge springs forth in expansive awareness into the true divinity of man.

Dear Friends,
Namaste and Hello.I guess it has been much longer since we last spoke,than I expected. As I had not realized how quickly time has been accelerating. I myself have a difficult time differentiating between the hours and even sometimes the days. All too often, I find the week flies by before I realize what day it even is. Thinking Friday’s for Wednesday’s. Now, more quickly than ever the months are passing.
The energy around us is accelerating at such a quickened rate. For those who can visually see energy this is exciting to see as it provides insight into how energy moves and blends into whatever it comes into contact with. More details become clearer to us of what is occurring within our lives,community and world bringing things into a perspective that places us in a zero balance point.
Many of us find we are happy in some aspects and miserable in others. We have become very aware of what we don’t like or want in our lives, what holds us back and how we limit ourselves via our incessant thinking and worrying.
We are at a cross roads. We are moving. We are expanding. We have in many ways outgrown where we’ve been and where we’re at during this point and time. Our hearts seek a comforting place to run to. But all too often, we have no idea where that physical place is. The one thing we do know is we have our individual connection with the creative force of life that some refer to as God/Goddess, Great Mystery, Great Spirit, Mother Father God, etc. whatever that connection may be.
We have an idea of what we want but we aren’t sure how to go about making the necessary changes to make it happen. That is where our faith comes into play. We must all have faith in the Field of Plenty that speaks that our needs will be met and that we usually get far more than we ask; if you take the time to notice that is. We generally are in the right place at the right time. Think about it for a minute. How many times has the kind acts of another blessed you beyond measure when you needed it most; sometimes not even realizing it?
How many times have you perhaps not had much food to feed your family and by evening time your setting with friends or family that have invited you over to eat? How many times have you found that at the last second things pan out for you better than you originally expected? How many times have situations in your life proven that sometimes hindrances are blessings in disguise?
These are all forms of synchronicity. A way in which energy freely flows into and through everything. Things of nature inherently understand synchronicity as it is a natural process. Things working together in unison for a common goal all serving a purpose of the greater good to positively benefit All That Is. Humans on the other hand, have long forgotten this balancing act. They have forgotten to have faith that all is in accordance and everything happens for a reason whether we realize it or understand it at the given time.
Back in the beginning of my learning I was afraid I was either doing something wrong or not doing enough. Years later, after meeting what later became my tribal grandmother, I questioned these things and her reply was always “You’re doing fine, you’re right where you’re supposed to be.” And she’d chuckle her native chuckle that was ever so confidence-building to know if she felt you were on the right track then obviously you were without doubt.
I have to agree. Back then I couldn’t see it as I was too busy searching. Chasing my own tail to find the answers already within me. I just had to search deeper and learn to trust my own intuitive feeling. Learning to trust yourself is the hardest part of self-awareness. But one has to learn the difference between intuition and gathered debris of others energy, feelings, thoughts,etc.
Now, I can see and say yes, I am where I need to be for the moment. And I say this to you as well. Even in your confusion and uncertainty, you are where you are meant to be at the given second you are in it for there are powerful lessons to learn during that time and via that means.
Out of confusion and darkness, light will glisten and then cascade a reflection for you to see a minute fraction of understanding another piece of the puzzle that is your life. Think of your ownself as a crystal ball, your solar plexus (navel) the crystal itself. Some days you can see more clearly than others and sometimes you see nothing. We see what we are meant to see when it’s time for us to according to how far we have grown in our own individual evolutionary process.
We are all in that state of uncertainty as the New Earth energies are vibrating at frequencies we have never felt before. Our physical bodies, emotional bodies and minds have a hard time adapting to the newer energies but it is getting easier the more we cleanse and purge ourselves of the old out-dated 3D world negative attitudes, beliefs and thinking. We are expanding and growing quicker than we can fathom.
Many are finding themselves ready to start new lives in new places. End old damaging relationships and beginning to form new bonds that are more complimentary with their energy and vibrational level. Like-mindedness. Those we can easily communicate with and experience the final ascension with. Some call them soul mates if you chose to look at it from that perspective. Some have already connected while others are being drawn together rapidly as things accelerate with the new energies present.
So, evidently there are a lot of upcoming changes for all of us. Fear and worry of what may be are the worst things you can accept at this point. We have moved beyond the need to constantly spend countless hours worrying about what will happen for that does nothing but create more things to fear and worry about within our lives. A lesson most should have learned by now.
It is time to be bold, courageous and daring to dream the impossible because now more than ever as a whole we are more consciously aware of life and our ability to transform ourselves and our lives into happy, peaceful and prosperous ones. We must act upon that ability. All time really is now. For it is now that these abilities are available to us to utilize for our benefit positively. Not just for our own benefit but for mankind itself.
Stop and think before you speak. Always remain optimistic in your views and don’t judge another as you would not want to be judged. Take the time to smile and laugh till you cry. Be who you are the best you can. But don’t give up with all the challenges and limitations that have been standing in your way during the past generation. Simply it wasn’t time yet to utilize our abilities to their fullest potential. The elements and influences were not in alignment for it to occur yet as much learning was needed, cleansing and healing within each of us.
We are rising above our oppressions. Things may still seem dim but that is darkness right before the light. Once you see the light within shining be prepared to be blinded as things will appear as they have never been visible to us. For our eyes were clouded with all the debris of our emotions and what collected within our energy centers and auras. The clearer we become the more clearly we can perceive the truth as the illusions begin to be pierced and shatter the more you awaken to your truest self and divinity.
Much Love and Many Blessings,

Hello World, it’s good to see you for it has truly been awhile. I don’t know if any of you remember me or not but I am Akia Winterhawk. I used to host Earth’s Healing Embrace Newsletter From 2003-2005, as well as, write tons of spiritual articles on a multitude of subject matter relating to Kundalini, Rebirth, Awakening and Ascension. And through a series of unforeseen events, I lost that domain & was offline for 1 1/2 yrs. which really put a damper on things.
From 2008-2009, I was BellaOnline.com’s Tarot Teacher, Writer & Editor teaching others about The Path of the Tarot, as well as, to enhance their intuition, expand their self awareness & understand how to interpret the symbology; not just in the Tarot cards, but also in the world around them. Especially focusing on learning how to further deepen their understanding of the elements, currents and energies that are occurring in order to more accurately decipher the true underlying reason of what is occurring for each individual, as well as, within their own lives so they can more effectively move beyond their limitations, overcome their obstacles and ascend above the issues that often times have kept them in a perpetual state of conflict, chaos, uncertainty and ways to devise creative solutions in which to free themselves from that vicious cycle of karmic lessons and move forward to the next spoke of the wheel so to speak.
For the last few years, I have been working alongside the Children of the Sun Foundation doing Planetary Grid Transmissions, DNA Activations and Healing Attunements on the New and Full Moon each month, as well as, during Earth Changes, Natural Disasters, etc. in order to assist humanity during these very transitions and Earth’s Ascension.
Along the way I have been in various groups since 2000 and have not only shared a lot of insight along the way, but also counseled many individuals, provided Kundalini Reiki and KoLaimNi Healings, and taught a myriad of topics relative to Self Awareness, Life Lessons, Animal Totems, working with energy and various modalities of Healing.
But as for anyone, sometimes there are events and things that take place in our lives that may refocus our attention on other things regardless of our intentions. So after being away on and off, sometimes for prolonged periods of time, I sometimes feel like a stranger and very much want to get back into the groove of things and utlitize my skills more effeciently not just personally, but also professionally.
Presently, there have been a lot of changes taking place in my life and I feel strongly that it is time to also create some new changes on my own in regards to my online endeavors. I need to redesign my websites and make some changes to them but during the process of working on that I’m going to also be available for consultations and readings, as a matter of fact, I’m going to be partnering with a couple of my Colleagues to offer some pretty exciting specials on various types of readings and consultations. Each of us bringing to the table our own unique speciality of expertise and offering our services to provide insight, understanding and assistance during these very challenging and confusing times at a substantial discount price because we truly understand the economic financial hardships that is plaguing us all.
We are just now in the works of getting things set up for our special creative collaboration. In fact, it’s so unique it’s Never-Been-Heard-of-Before! Which is why I’m not going to reveal too much about it right now until we’re ready to launch our Special Offer! So keep your eyes open for updates on this Collaborative Project.
In the meantime, I will be posting some of my newest articles Never Before Seen or Released Online for your reading pleasure and feel you will be able to strongly identify with them and perhaps even discern understanding during these times of transformation and change.
In the meantime…
Much Love and Many Blessings!

I titled this journal entry “Releasing Fear, Letting Go & Trusting in the Flow” because that seems to really be the lesson the Universe is sending my way over the past few months with all of the changes that have been taking place; a whole new perspective & endeavor has surfaced providing a totally unlooked for advantage & blessing in disguise offering unlimited potential & opportunities.
I find that equally within the hoop in order to truly flow balanced & gracefully, one has to release any fears or inhibitions they may have, let go of thinking about the moves, simply surrender & trust in the flow to unfold into a beautiful dance thereby also opening one’s self up to unlimited potential & opportunities to present themselves through the hoop as it becomes apart of us emotionally, mentally, physically & spiritually.
Within the hoop, anchoring our thoughts, intentions & energy in positive & healing ways. A means to transform ourselves, our family, our community & truly our world if everyone would honor the sacredness of all lifeforms. Until that time in which all are able to rise above their own limitations, as hoopers, it is our responsibility to anchor that positive healing energy into the world through our dance. That is what it’s purpose was for, as well as, to instill peace, joy, balance, happiness, awareness & healing.
Now more than ever, with all the planetary transitions occurring at such an accelerated rate, it is time to remain centered, calm & without fear, worry or anxiety over the changing times. With the hoop, we become channelers & transmitters of divine will energy, love, light, peace & joy. It is time to awaken to our true purpose & divinity. It is time to surrender to the flow & trust the journey as it unfolds.
Much love & many blessings:)

As many of us know, Spring offers us the opportunity to plant new seeds in which we’d like to see produce a plentiful harvest in our lives. As we begin to scurry around now that Winter has released it’s grip and warmer weather is imminent; we may find ourselves looking around at our environment or circumstances & decide that it’s time to make some much needed changes within our lives in order to move forward.
Many of us may have felt over the past few years that we have been in a period of standstill awaiting our time to be able to make any form of movement in any direction. But for the most part, we experienced a period of stagnation & the inability to really make much progress; if any thing, we’ve taken 2 steps forward just to take 3 steps back is what it may have seemed like. As often times we’d forge ahead to just get slammed back down by some sort of unexpected event that would derail us from making any further progress. I know for many this has become the “norm” & has become extremely frustrating, confusing & exhausting to say the least!
I earnestly feel that we have all been awaiting for everything to be in alignment for us, in order to place us where we need to be in order to more fully utilize our talents, gifts & abilities in positive & healing ways. Some even awaiting to be called into their true life calling & purpose or perhaps even like myself, having to take a completely different course of action than previously considered let alone drempt of!
Indeed these are very unpredictable times & if we’ve learned one thing over the years that’s the need to go with the flow rather than fight against the currents or fearfully clutch the shores regardless of what is occurring in our lives. We must be willing to adapt to the changing times & currents within our lives even if we may not always understand them or even necessarily want them. As we all know, when the winds of change blow we usually have no choice but to hold onto our hats & prepare for the ride because one way or another we will be forced to alter our course or lives in some way in order to more fully align ourselves with opportunities hovering on the horizon.
Life’s many lessons, experiences & altercations are all a means to help bring us into balance with the natural rhythm & flow of creation & life itself. Most of us are aware of the fact that this in itself can truly become a battle of wits trying to maintain that balance. In some cases, our wants & desires are simply not in alignment with us although we may seem to think that they are. Often times, we still need to polish the edges a little bit in order to truly maximize our potential & become more masterful of ourselves to maintain that sense of balance.
We have all had a lot of karmic debris & inner baggage in which really needed to be released & processed in order for us to finally drop the shackles of 3D programs (victim, poverty & separation consciousness) that had been instilled within our conscious & subconscious awareness but has become such an everyday part of the norm we don’t even pay attention to it the majority of the time. Thank God those days are becoming few & far in between because within the confounds of those programs energetically we have collectively overcome a great deal of our karmic debts & have assisted in helping others to do the same. Finally, we may be free to rise even higher than ever before because we are no longer programmed to believe that we are confined to just this reality & as each of us shatter & break through the illusions that have been placed before us we each will discover that we hold so much more power & control over our lives than we’ve been allowed to acknowledge & through unraveling the mysteries of those illusions, it will propel each person to seek even higher realms of awareness & truly become co-creators on a whole new level of understanding.
With all of the planetary shifts & alignments we are accelerating at warp speed it seems as the days just fly right by. It’s a wonder anyone has time to catch their breath! With each passing day it seems that the more we plan, the more our plans seem to fall apart because things have become so unpredictable from one moment to the next we truly do not know what to expect from one minute to the next. And as such, as been the case in my own personal circumstances & experiences over the past few months as to why you rarely see me online anymore. Things are about to get a lot busier too over the next few months for me & I wanted to touch base with everyone to fill you in & let you know what was going on in my neck of the woods;)
I’ll begin by saying the Universe truly has a way at sticking the most unexpected things upon our path at the most unexpected times & of course when we least likely expect it! Last year, the sacred hoop was gifted to me as a new tool for me to utilize in so many wonderful ways unfortunately, at that time I was not as receptive nor saw the significance of what I was supposed to do with it or even how to go about it. In reality, I didn’t see the whole picture nor recognize it’s potential at that time because I was going through so many other things during that time frame. Just like we do so many other things, I let it slip my mind & never really gave it much thought until 3 days prior to the Spring Equinox (of which is when the Sacred Hoop was gifted to be to begin with the previous year) it came back into my conscious awareness & I awoke with feeling totally impelled to spend the day hooping. The next thing I know several days have passed & my boyfriend & I are beginning to have visions that will help us to utilize this sacred tool in a positive & healing way in order to touch a lot of people’s lives & bring to them a precious gift to help assist them in healing themselves & in return pay it forward.
It was so awesome that first week of hooping! Then by the 2nd week we were already quickly learning advanced tricks it just flowed like water for us. After a month’s worth of practicing like crazy we’ve even surpassed our own expectations on how quickly we’ve learned how to hoop & in the process have been teaching others in our community as well. Not to mention there’s been some opportunities present themselves to me in order to help underprivileged children & needy families as a means to help them & teach them through the hoop. Not only doing charity work but also as a means to help me supplement our income as well & teach others of all ages!
Last week, it downpoured the rain & I needed to go to the store which is a little over 1/2 mile away from my house & I always hoop there every time I go since I’ve been actively hooping every day. Anyway, I was not gonna let the rain slow me down I needed to get out of the house for some much needed stress relief & also needed to work on practicing walking with the hoop around my waist so here I go with my blue frilly ruffled parasol umbrella & a hula hoop going around my waist trying to keep it up while trying to fight the pouring rain holding up this umbrella in one hand & the other hand extended outwards ya know just twisting & strutting my way down the side walk by the TV news station that’s 2 streets over from my house & not paying any attention to anything except focusing on keeping that umbrella up & that hoop going around my waist without dropping it;) lol
So here I am in my own little world, having a total blast of course & this guy who looks like Kenny Rogers comes by & stops to ask me if I’m trying to get in the Guinness Book of World Records & I just laughed ya know & get about 1/2 mile down the road almost to my destination & here comes this little black car that stops right in the middle of the street next to me….it’s one of the guys who works for the TV news station he came to tell me that everyone at the TV station (Channel 8 & Fox 11) watched me out the window & think that I am Awesome! Gave me a huge cheese eating grin & a thumbs up! He was so excited to tell me that which made me start shaking like a leaf on a tree the second he pulled away & of course I burst into tears because I didn’t think anyone would be paying attention heck, everyone else was tucked away in their houses trying to stay warm & dry after we’d just had a hailstorm & here I am out there like a fool playing in the rain hooping;)
That truly made my day! Especially considering I’d only been hooping for about a month & the TV station people all think I’m awesome…I’m thinking they haven’t seen anything yet!..I’m just getting started ya know!..lol So anyway that made me feel good about my accomplishments & seeing how everyone is beginning to really take notice, ask questions & are wanting to learn as well is really helping to put some perspective on things for me. And knowing that just because it’s something different no one is used to seeing around here everything you do seems really cool to everyone so it takes some of the pressure of performing off of me I know I don’t have to be perfect the fact that I’m doing it is the main thing & trying to share the gift with others! I’m also making professional hoops now offering them at a very discounted price in order to help those who normally wouldn’t be able to get a professional hoop afford one. As well as, I’m trying to make hoops to give away to children in the community at large. Thus far I’ve made 4 hoops to give away & the smiles would’ve melted anyone’s heart!
I never in a million years saw myself being a hoopdance instructor & trying to do my work through this medium but when I look at it symbolically, I can see every reason that it’s the perfect tool for me to utilize because it truly has unlimited potential!. But this is what the Universe keeps bringing to me & this time I think I’ll listen & follow through on the ideas & opportunities that have flown my way of which takes my entire career & completely restructures it but bringing it beautifully together like that’s the missing piece of the puzzle I needed in order to propel forwards upon my path. So that’s one reason why I haven’t been online much is because I’ve been hooping my rear-end off literally speaking..lol I’ve been working extra hard because my first performance is June 27th at my 20 yr. Class Reunion & since taking on that gig, in the process it opened me up to so many other opportunities & options that I can easily pursue so it’s been very exciting in that retrospect!
On another note, I’m in the process of making some other changes. Our family has decided to move to a more affordable & economical place with less stress & problems to have to deal with! After 4 yrs. we’re pretty much exhausted & tapped out by this old house & are ready to move on to greener pastures & have a change of scenery. With luck, we’re hoping to get into this 5 bedroom townhouse that’s less than 2 miles away from us with a much better view & better amenities which will surely make life much easier for us! So with that comes a very long list of “To Do’ items needing completed in order to make that happen. Fortunately, this will provide us the most opportune time in which to lighten our loads considerably by decluttering & letting go of things we no longer want, need or care to tag along with us especially considering this place will have less storage space so I’ll have to eliminate a considerable amount of stuff after having been used to a full sized attic & a small bedroom that’s used for storage as well. And people tend to give me stuff all the time so I’ve accumulated a lot of stuff; some albeit out of guilt because they really were wanting me to have something they couldn’t take with them when they moved as has happened on numerous occasions with friends.
So we had tons of stuff to begin with & in 4 yrs. have taken on a lot more because everyone seems to think just because we have a big house we have lots of room for stuff so after I get my stuff done. I’ll probably have a very inexpensive yard sale or if I’m in a rush will just have a free charity offering for the community to do with whatever they so choose. Since we all try to help each other out around here ya know will try to see how much I can give back before I leave; although with it being just up the hill from where we are currently we’ll still be coming through this way hooping on occasion I’m sure plus meet up with some of the kids we’ve been teaching to hoop.
But it will honestly be a major blessing to leave this place & move into something else even though we really liked the people, the scenery & the neighborhood in general we’ve made a lot of good friends over the course of 4 yrs. living here so I know it will be somewhat of a blow to some of them when I let them know we’re moving especially the kids because they’re used to us entertaining them most of the time doing stuff with them as we’ve become the local surrogate parents for the kids in our neighborhood taking them to the pool throughout the summer, free movies, trips to the local recreational centers & for picnics or anything else we can find to keep them occupied & out of trouble. So while we’ve kinda adopted quite a few rascals along the way, I know that this new place will also offer us a chance to meet other children who too could benefit from our positive attitude & energy.
Not to mention for us a little quieter setting, heavily wooded area so more accessible to nature not to mention just around the curve literally from where I lived when I graduated 20 yrs. ago! How crazy is that! I never imagined before I’d lived down over the hill from there in the city like I have been for the past 4 yrs. nor did I ever see myself ever living back up there again not that I didn’t like it or anything on the contrary it was a very awesome nothing but sky view all the way around you can see the valley & mountains in every direction from up on top of that hill! It’s away from the hustle ‘n bustle of the city but only a few miles from downtown so it’s a very convenient location that’s a little more secluded & country-feel to it being in the city limits so that’s always a plus! And in many ways by moving up there to me would signify symbolically that we have ascended above our circumstances & overcome them because we will be living up on the hill above where our house is currently located in the city. It’s to the north east of where I am right now & will be very interested to see which townhouse they put me in & what direction/view I’ll have!
So there are many things happening right now that wasn’t even thought possible just a few short months ago which is very exciting & of course life’s not a bowl of cherries every single day but for the most part I know & have come to expect lately that anything can happen especially when we least expect it & that we have to stay on our toes to see opportunities when they present themselves even if at first it’s something you’d never imagine attempting to do! We’re being urged to have faith that we are never given anything we are not capable of handling & that it is time to stop dragging our feet on deciding what we want to do & put forth the effort to make things happen. We’ve been seeking the answers to our problems for far too long while all along the solutions are most often staring us right in the face but we’re usually too busy to notice or pay attention to the subtle signs pointing the way. When we stop chasing our own tails around in circles looking for the answers they will become clear to us what we need to do in order to move forward & once again begin to make progress.
So be prepared to take huge leaps of faith & chances when called upon to do so by the Universe; whatever we need to sustain us will be provided, whatever tool we need to assist us shall be given, whatever is needed to be done shall be revealed we just have to stop, be still, observe & listen.
Many blessings I wish each of you upon your ever evolving & transforming journey as I will be away for a little while but will try to get some things done on the sites along the way so please don’t forget to check back for updates!
Much love & healing,
Leslie/Akia
