This year will see a lot of people cutting back on what they might otherwise have indulged in.&amp;nbsp; The economic hard times so many are seeing, and feeling, may be somewhat of a blessing in disguise.&amp;nbsp; We are being more conscious of what we already have, and seeing how we may repurpose it, recycle it, or give it to someone who may have a need of it.&amp;nbsp; The one thing I can almost guarantee that will not be in short supply will be good will.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all of our faults and shortcomings as human beings, we tend to reach out to others in times of stress.&amp;nbsp; Taking the extra moment to smile, or say an extra Thank you, weaves its own joyous web, blessing both the giver, and the receiver.&amp;nbsp; May you be blessed this day with smiles, with joy, and gratitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings,&lt;br /&gt;LightJoy (Ramona)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=423537" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Past Life Connections, Continued</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/LightJoy/Past-Life-Connections--Continued/399325.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:08:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:399325</guid><dc:creator>LightJoy</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/11501179/comments/399325.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/11501179/commentrss.aspx?PostID=399325</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/rsscomments/399325.aspx</wfw:comment><description>&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font size="4"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;Hello again!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I seem to have upset some people with the last post about past lives, probably because I didn't follow up soon enough with the ones that do end happily ever after.&amp;nbsp; Or at least, really well.&amp;nbsp; Count on me to goof up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that I find utterly fascinating is that (from my own perspective, obviously), is that the lives of souls tend to intertwine and connect, disconnect or reconnect.&amp;nbsp; It is like getting to look at a different tapestry of light for each person I read for.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes, a soul will just decide to end a connection before returning in order to try a new approach to an old dilemma, thereby achieving needed growth.&amp;nbsp; This allows both parties the freedom to either reconnect with others that they have previously intertwined with, or to establish new connections/growth patterns, on a conscious level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;We are beings of growth, each on our own path of the ultimate reconnection-with the Creator.&amp;nbsp; Finding someone with whom our soul resonates so well with is the closest earthly equivalent to that.&amp;nbsp; It is why we can become so anxious if someone we thought was "the one" seems to fade out of our lives.&amp;nbsp; What we may not have been aware of is that someone even more closely attuned with us is destined for us.&amp;nbsp; Another possibility, and here is where we have to be honest with ourselves, is, are we really ready to walk hand-in-hand with a soulmate?&amp;nbsp; Are we at a place where we can truly give our best to a relationship of this magnitude?&amp;nbsp; Or are we actually, at least at the moment, in a place where we truly want to accomplish growth/achievement on our own?&amp;nbsp; Are we supposed to allow ourselves to re-merge the parts of our own soul into a cohesive whole as our primary goal? &amp;nbsp; Are we supposed to meet, and know of the other's existance, and then finish the part of our life mission that we set up for ourselves to do so that we can connect with that soul relatively unemcumbered?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ponder these things a lot.&amp;nbsp; As a psychic and visionary, I feel very blessed to be able to (hopefully, at least), help people on their path, and give them guideposts.&amp;nbsp; Each person I read for is a relatively new experience, because no one else has that soul vibration, that harmonic that Creator gave solely to that individual.&amp;nbsp; No one else has exactly the imprint of what their goals are. This is where the individual learns to trust the energy of their own heart mind.&amp;nbsp; The knowledge that was placed there by Creator as a guidebook, there to guide us if we can allow ourselves to trust and listen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Blessings&lt;br /&gt;Ramona&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=399325" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>Past Life Connections-do they always end in Happily Ever After?</title><link>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/UserBlogPosts/LightJoy/Past-Life-Connections-do-they-always-end-in-Happily-Ever-After/392128.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:39:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8ca05964-da1c-4176-9dbc-9d0bc609bb83:392128</guid><dc:creator>LightJoy</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/11501179/comments/392128.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/11501179/commentrss.aspx?PostID=392128</wfw:commentRss><wfw:comment>http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/blogs/rsscomments/392128.aspx</wfw:comment><description>&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;font color="#ffffff"&gt;I frequently get calls from clients regarding strong connections they feel with a particular individual.&amp;nbsp; Not&amp;nbsp; just an "I really like this person and have a crush" type of feelings.&amp;nbsp; I mean things occuring like dreams regarding the individual that come to fruition within a short time span, astral projections, telepathic communication, etc.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are these folks off their rockers? NO.&amp;nbsp; Not by a long shot.&amp;nbsp; I have been doing readings remotely via phone, email, and chat for over 15 years now, and privately long before and since.&amp;nbsp; I&amp;nbsp; have seen/heard too many similar scenarios for it to be anything other than a mass ascension in consciousness (IMHO).&amp;nbsp; Although most of my client base is in United States and Canada, I have done readings for people across the globe, and so many similarities pop up that it leads me to one conclusion: that Earth and her people are in the process of a mass reawakening.&amp;nbsp; But why?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our distant past, we were hunter/gatherers, relying heavily on our instinctive and intuitive abilities to survive.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As we developed a deep affinity with our surroundings, it allowed for the development of the more logical, deliberate abilities within us.&amp;nbsp; The last two and half centuries have seen such an incredible leap in our development, that we are now at a point for these two equally important areas to create a new, merged type of consciousness.&amp;nbsp; Our conscious, deliberate selves are being allowed the gift of reawakening our long-dormant intuitive capabilities and the opportunity to merge them.&amp;nbsp; So what has this got to do with past life connections?&amp;nbsp; Well, a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We aren't physical beings with something called a soul/spirit arbitrarily attached somehow.&amp;nbsp; We are multi-dimensional beings, both matter and spirit.&amp;nbsp; Just as we have a physical memory stored in our brains, so we also have "soul-memory" .&amp;nbsp; It is this soul-memory that allows us to resolve old issues and move forward on our path of Ascension. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To answer the question of whether soul connection meetings mean a happy ending, the answer is no, not necessarily.&amp;nbsp; Sometime we do, indeed, meet with others with whom we have a long, strong, loving soul connection.&amp;nbsp; These are the ones that stay, in one capacity or another.&amp;nbsp; But sometimes we meet up souls with whom the connection, while very intense, is better resolved by releasing the connection and moving on.&amp;nbsp; A lot of times this is really painful.&amp;nbsp; The up side to this, though, is that once that connection starts to fade out, there is a recharging of the one who let go, and a true freshness to their life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so why would we meet up with someone with whom we need to cut ties with in the first place?&amp;nbsp; Well, for starters, most of us need to reconnect in order to disconnect.&amp;nbsp; By consciously releasing the karma with that individual, we can also allow ourselves to release the PATTERN.&amp;nbsp; And it is the releasing of the pattern that really does all the "magic".&amp;nbsp; By allowing ourselves to release the negative pattern (and often, several others that feed off of it), we&amp;nbsp; give our higher selves full permission to fill the void with energies and people that are true reflections of where we are in both the physical and metaphysical.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bright Lights and Blessings&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ramona&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.keen.com/CommunityServer/aggbug.aspx?PostID=392128" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>April 23rd, 24th, &amp;amp;

Although many bad things happen, we must strive to remember that the Ultimate Power in the Universe is Love.&amp;nbsp; That is probably the most beautiful name of the Creator-Love.&amp;nbsp; Above all else, this is the one power that cannot die or be mutated.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When&amp;nbsp; the greatest of fears, or evil, present themselves into our lives, this is the one power that cannot make a stand against Love.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When Love emanates from our heart chakras, we become empowered, energized.&amp;nbsp; We aren't supposed to become anything but what we are--we are simply supposed to become the best of what we are.&amp;nbsp; We still live in a world that is of a denser dimension.&amp;nbsp; we are both Spirit and Matter.&amp;nbsp;

It often seems that when one thing goes wrong, another and another follows right in behind it, the snowball effect of hardship.&amp;nbsp; We wonder what we may have done to facilitate this series of events, and consequently, feel less and less able to cope or manage what goes on around us.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, sometimes this can be traced to one or two events that triggered the process.&amp;nbsp; For me, I find that this seems much easier to deal with, somehow.&amp;nbsp; It's the events we have no control over that can leave us feeling powerless.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, soemtimes it is Karma, or the result of not keeping ourselves in a place of Light within.&amp;nbsp; And sometimes it is simply a roll of the Cosmic Dice.&amp;nbsp; I know, small comfort, right?&amp;nbsp; When things are really overwhelming, we can retreat in some way.&amp;nbsp; This doesn't mean defeat, it simply means regathering our inner resources.&amp;nbsp; This may mean seeking help from friends, professionals, and the Divine.&amp;nbsp; Difficulties can shove us face down into the mud, and the only way out is to allow our guardian angels to help us out.&amp;nbsp; Does God/dess shove us into the mud?&amp;nbsp; No.&amp;nbsp; The nature of the Divine is Love.&amp;nbsp; The nature of the Divine is to Create.&amp;nbsp; It is when we are in these&amp;nbsp; places, exhausted from our own internal/external tears and rage, that we finally can hear the voice of the Divine.&amp;nbsp; This is not external.&amp;nbsp; It is our own -permanent connection with Spirit, our Higher Selves finally being able to be heard.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While this may not always give us a clearcut way out of the hardship, it can allow us to connect directly to God/dess, and recharge our batteries to better plod through the muck.&amp;nbsp; And there is an end to the muck.&amp;nbsp; We do get to dryer ground, and continue our journey through Life.&amp;nbsp; I have to constantly remind myself that the only time that "muck" circumstances stop is when we leave this plane of existance, and return to Spirit.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My wish for you today, and everyday, is that each time you get caught in the "muck", that it affords you another approach to get out of the "muck", thereby increasing your inner resources to deal with and cope with things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am preaching to the choir here, I know, but maybe if we can each find that small, still place within ourselves regularly, we will be able to avoid soem of the "muckholes".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love, Light, &amp;amp;
