Peace Within

September 2009 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

More reflections on how to get there. Moving fully into the present moment, is to be in peace.

"Remember, wherever you go, there you are!" …is one of my all-time favorite movie lines quoted by Buckeroo Bonzai, the hero from the film of the same name. I often repeat them. I am reminded of my trip to the Yucatan and Guatemala in the late 1990's. The ancient and magnificent Mayan ruin of Tikal was our destination. To get there by land required a long, almost three-hour bus ride, followed by a boat trip, and then another long bus ride into Guatemala. As we embarked upon the first bus ride, I was already feeling wiped out from the heat and completely overwhelmed by the elements—the dust, the smells, the crowded bus with the colorful local gentry, their animals and their bales of hay— and yet two hours or more to go on the rickety bus. The “air-conditioning” consisting of mini-fans mounted above each seat, made little difference. I thought I would die.  My linear inner-self protested, "I can't do this." I also wrestled with a number of other inner voices for some time, as I applied every technique I knew to balance myself, all to no avail. My two male companions seemed unfazed.  One of them, sitting close by was sleeping…sleeping! Finally, the proverbial voice of higher reason offered, "What are your options?" Talk about a tie-breaker! As the dusty, bumpy, smelly bus chugged along, the reality clicked in that my only other option was to become present and be at peace. It worked! I moved into the moment, relaxed, surrendered and became peaceful. Where ever you are, whatever your circumstances, there you are—for a reason!  You, your high self, and your soul, along with your team of guides, have chosen to manifest this situation for a higher purpose—a good reason! But, if you find yourself in any kind of resistance, you position yourself as a victim of your circumstance and sadly, you deny yourself the opportunity to explore that higher purpose. But, alas, resistance is the norm for most people, leading to anger, despair, resentment, futility, dis-ease and beyond, to full-blown conflict and war. I want to gift you with the opportunity to step into the present and to experience, if only for a few moments, the grace of being present, of non-resistance, of stillness and peace. This short audio-recording is your opportunity to choose to step into your true being-ness for a moment or two, whether it’s the morning, the middle of your day, the evening, or perhaps just before you go to bed. Do this for yourself. Do this for all of us.

Enjoy!

Don't Have to...Choose to!

June 2010 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

How many times a day do you say “I have to do this, that or the other”? How many of those ‘have tos’ do you really have to do, or even want to do? While it is true that some of those ‘have tos’ are a part of life that are necessary, due to the fact that you are living on planet Earth in the third dimension, it is also true that, in some cases, you are complacently going along with a program that you may not be invested in. Try saying, “I am choosing to do this…” This puts you back in the pilot’s seat. By choosing to do something, as apposed to having to, you may discover some personal patterns which really need to be transformed and you begin to be aware of how you give your power away. This is in no way about shirking responsibility. However, by simply changing your vocabulary, you will have the opportunity to explore your actions in a more dynamic and truthful way. You have a choice. You always have a choice! Which road do you choose, honesty and integrity, or complacency and resentment? Sometimes it is a complicated task to discern which road leads to more harmony because you have been conditioned by belief systems that are deeply stored within you. It is a tangled web indeed. Who must I please? To whom must I be true? What makes me a good person? How can I be true to myself, and still make a living, and support my family…etc. etc? This is where I can help you put the pieces together in a way that is wise and comfortable. Most often, what is required is less about you changing the outside, rather shifting something inside and assisting that part of you to grow and evolve, so that change will just happen organically. 

If you need assistance, email me at kaypriestess@gmail.com to create a mentoring program specifically for you. You will be amazed that, by simply asking for assistance, miracles may begin to happen in your life. I have experienced this directly myself.

The answers are simpler than you think. Choosing to live in honesty can be the magical turning point.

When you choose to live in honesty, you are choosing to love yourself. When you choose to love yourself, your life changes. Yes, it may rock the boat a little if those who are close to you are still in self-denial or complacency, and unwilling to grow, but the increase in your own integrity can offer you feelings of freedom and joy you may not have experienced in a long, long time. So, try choosing. Say, “I choose!” with conviction and wisdom.

Blessings & Love,

Kay

Take in a Deep Breath!

March 2010 Newsletter


Go ahead, take in a well-deserved, beautiful deep breath! Now, let your mouth open a little and take another breath and notice how much deeper you can inhale. OK, now let your shoulders relax, take two more deep breaths and let out a sound - whatever sound wants to come out... come on, give yourself this gift.

Congratulations, you have just taken some basic steps towards meditation! You have taken a giant step for humankind. It’s true! When you do this, you engage in an act of responsibility for your personal health and well-being, not only for your sake, but for the sake of your loved ones and your co-workers, and you set the tone for many others to follow.

Let’s talk about sex. The way I see it, the act of engaging in sexual activity between two individuals, in love-making, in sensual interplay, is a privilege. However, if your heart isn’t engaged, you are sacrificing the opportunity to experience the Divine, your God-ness, through that connection. To meditate together and then to embark upon a sensual journey in spiritual union affords you the opportunity for soul growth, and to make a difference in the imbalance - the inharmonious frequency on our planet. Many men tell me that “sex” relieves their stress. But for how long? And, did you know, you may be unconsciously transferring your stress into the other person. Am I pushing buttons here? I am passionate about this because this issue has great impact on our global society: Unconscious sex may be more damaging than you can possibly imagine.

Believe me, there is nothing more important at this time in history! These are the changing times (some call them the End Times), when we get to decide consciously how we want our lives to be, how we want our world to be. Let’s choose to change our ways, to be caring and good stewards of ourselves, each other and our planet.

Please, no more excuses, you can do it! And, by the way, I’m sure you are aware of the trend with men (and some women) in their thirties and forties particularly, to get on their tread-mills and stay there until they drop from stress and suffer heart attacks. A vacation a year won’t suffice to relieve the stress, it requires a willingness to take some timeevery day, no matter how intense your schedule is.

So...
Breathe... meditate...

If you are reading this message, guidance is just a click away... on my website:

I have recorded three meditations to get you started - if this is new to you.

Dear Friends

January 2010

Dear Friends,

I would write (belated) Happy New Year... but instead I’ll wish you a Happy New Life, because I believe that this year will be (already is) like no other in all of recorded history.
Having said that, I am inclined to offer the following to ponder... and for those of you who may have an issue with “New Agey” language, please bear with me and understand the importance of what I am suggesting here.

1) Anger... blocks your crown chakra, your ability to connect to your higher self – it doesn’t allow you to evolve or expand or be who you really are, in the bigger picture! It’s OK to have anger, but have it for a limited time safely, and then let it go! I fondly remember a conversation I had years ago with the actor Jonathan Harris, a very elegant gentleman and thespian, best known for his role in the 1965-1968 TV series “Lost in Space.” He told me that after being rejected for a role, he allowed himself a limited time to stew in his emotions, (if memory serves me it was 48 hours) and then he brushed himself off, let it go, and got on with his life. But you really have to let it go.

2) Resentment... is anger with ill-will, with a negative twist, and it blocks you even further. The only person who suffers from it is you. The energy re-bounds back to you. Many people are stuck because of their resentment and are not able to move forward.

From these two emotions spring so many others which collectively cause the chaos and disruption on our world. Additionally, resentment often hides shame, which is, by far, the most debilitating of all emotions.

Let’s move collectively into responsibility and co-operation, let’s be good stewards of our lives, the lives of others, and our planet at large.

So, my recommendation would be to answer these two questions: Who are you angry at and who do you resent? Give yourself some time to write lists and dig deep into your inner self to find the answers. Check your body responses... feel it, feel the difference between anger and resentment. You might be surprised at what you’ll uncover. Be honest with yourself. Face your fears and transform them. Let your tears wash away the resistance, be willing to let go of the part of your ego that is holding on to these issues by understanding what is at the root. Then watch miracles, the synchronicities, small and large, that come into your life and the world! Do not discount the impact that your singular act of responsibility of self-healing will have on the world.

For many of you gentlemen, I realize that this may be a greater challenge for you... so wouldn’t you like the opportunity to speak to me (on Skype or in person, if you live in the Los Angeles area) and engage my help to recognize your greater potential by letting go of how you are anchored in your lesser potential? I work with love, humor, compassion and wisdom to support you appropriately. You are worth it, are you not? I say you are!
Go to www.starsourceonline.com, click on "Services" and scroll down to Soul Growth Analysis at a one-time only very special price.

We have such an opportunity to finally let go of the past, to clean up our collective act, NOW. It has been said that for those who resist, it might become more uncomfortable down the road, because now is the time of pay-back, of divine reciprocity. However, if we are willing, it can be easy, revelatory and miraculous. Each of us is more important than we can imagine.

Happy New Life!

Love and blessings
Kay

Happy Holidays Dear Friends!

December 2009 Newsletter

Dear Friends,

I have a confession to make! I have become relatively hooked on a couple of reality shows where amazingly talented young individuals vie for the title of “America’s Best.” Each week, as the tension builds and two more contestants are voted off, I am conscious of the traps of competitiveness and comparison, and of the importance of striving for personal excellence instead. What I find beautiful to witness in these shows is the bonding that happens in the entire process where, despite the fact it is a competition, beautiful, supportive friendships are built and, to a large degree it does become a unified experience.

I believe that any contestant would agree that it is far more empowering to enter into competition with the goal of personal best, rather than out-performing their opponent. For in the old paradigm sense of competition we essentially proclaim that “I’m better than you,” or “I have to be the best and crush my competitor, so I can rule this kingdom.” These antiquated ideals and ego-trips are so ingrained in our cultural behavioral patterns, we frequently don’t even realize that we are acting them out. A new paradigm consciousness might say, “I aim for my personal best and hope to inspire others to do the same. In this way, I may take a step closer to being all that I am meant to be. Should I fall short of what I feel is my personal best, I commit to focusing more deeply within, and I release my self-judgment and joyfully move into the experience of learning and of releasing my limitations.”

(An interesting note: I looked up “competition” in my Compact Oxford English dictionary. You know, the one where you have to use a magnifying glass to read the teeny tiny print. One definition I found is, “A match to determine relative excellence.”)

I am reminded of the beautiful story of a young man who was competing in a race in the Special Olympics. The starting gun went off and he and his other special friends began moving away from the gate and towards the finish line. After a few moments however, our young man looked back to discover that one of his friends had tripped and fallen. So, he turned around and went back to help him up. As he did so, one by one, the others also turned around and went back to help their friend. They all passed through the finish line together, unified. I get teary-eyed just thinking of this story and of the example of these special souls who have so much to teach us about caring, compassion, service and unity.

The behavior exemplified by these amazing souls is synonymous with the New Paradigm. Are we not all being challenged more and more, in some way, to adopt different approaches within many aspects in our lives, to stretch beyond our boundaries and comfort zones, to put aside petty thinking, judgment and discrimination (about ourselves and others), of any kind? Each person has their unique destiny, whoever they are, and it is not for us to judge that, rather it is for us to be discerning in our choices and to keep our hearts open at all cost. In judgment we separate, simply stated. In choosing to not separate, we contribute to raising the planetary vibration and the unification of our species. Hurray!

It’s Holiday time... and the triggers that are synonymous with holidays arise again...
It’s a fact, that despite the external demeanor and bravado we may wear, the holidays bring up hidden emotions and wounding for many people. Choosing not to address these issues inevitably will result in some degree of depression or separation, many times followed by excessive eating and drinking, the typical numbing devices. If you resonate with this reality, I offer you the opportunity to change your pattern, to meet it head on with love and compassion and to experience another stage in your personal transformation.

I am offering you a rare and affordable opportunity which most likely will change your life: that of knowing clearly the origin of the patterns you wish you could avoid - the defensiveness and knee-jerk responses, the self-judgment and, in some cases, self-loathing. Let’s identify the “who in you” that still suffers from victimhood and self-pity and small-ness and flush out all theses areas of separation.

Who better to gift this season than yourself? Everyone in your life will benefit!

For the holidays and only through the end of January, experience a Soul Analysis with me via Skype or audio file (MP3) at an extra special price of $162.00
Go to my website  and click on "Services".

I celebrate the uniqueness and brilliance of your soul and I wish you a most heart-centered Yuletide and blessed and magnificent New Year!

Love and blessings
