It’s All About the Children

August 24, 2009

Here is the question I asked of Yeoshua (Jesus) and Mary Magdalene: I did an email reading for a woman a few months ago and she asked about her young son who challenges her quite frequently. I’ve seen this among many mothers around me and I see this with my own child. You explained this in the email reading but I’d like you to share it here so more can read about why this is happening. Will you share this with us?

Mothers and their children...

Mothers and their children...

YEOSHUA: Oh yes. We like to discuss this. This is good. There are two types of children that have been coming over the last 10-20 years in large numbers. One type is what we shall call Redeemers. The redeemers have come to accept all the negative energy around them like a sponge. Their time on earth is short because they are just absorbing large amounts of negative energy and holding it to take back with them when they die. Many of these children develop illnesses and developmental disorders because of the amount of energy they are processing. Please do not be sad for these children when they pass. They gladly took the assignment before coming down to Earth and their parents took this assignment as well although most have forgotten by the time they got here.

The child who challenges...

The second group I shall call The Challengers. They are the ones who ask questions and challenge anyone or anything. They are here to challenge the status quo which is in dire need of change, yes? Yes. So, they are here to assist with this. One way in which they are doing this is by challenging their mothers. In order for the transition to a more peaceful, loving society to be complete (it has already started), the women of our world need to step forward and become more empowered. They need to see they are equal to men but offer different unique talents and strengths. The old world role of mothering that many young women learned from their parents does not work with these new children coming in. Young women are forced to create a new role for themselves as mothers who hold firm boundaries for their children. They need to not yell at their children but hold them close and yet stay firm with the rules and consequences of their children’s actions.

It is a difficult role but in accepting this role, these women become strong and empowered and more confident in what they can offer not only to their children but also to the world. It will be a new day when more and more women are sought out for their opinions, advice, and intuition on world policies. And yet, this will come about. It starts with The Challengers. They will start with their mothers and fathers for that matter but as they grow and mature, they will question and challenge every rule, every law, every policy, and every thought humankind has ever had. That is the power of our children!

MARY MAGDALENE: Wow. I love the power of your words, Yeoshua. Yes, the children have it going on. If you need some wisdom, check with your child. They are closest to God and often offer the most sane and wise advice.

If you find you are one of these women forging a new form of parenting never seen before, I offer you some suggestions.

Moms need their rest...

Moms need their rest...

First, take care of yourself. This is the first step in setting boundaries. You cannot possibly take care of your child, your husband/partner, household, if you are not taking care of yourself. This means not just sitting down for five minutes to rest. This means getting enough sleep, eating right for what you need (not just settling for what everyone else wants), or putting off doing household tasks for a day while you do something for yourself. Go get a pedicure or a manicure or a massage. Take a nap. Yes, take a nap. There is nothing that says I am taking care of myself more than taking a nap. Drink your water. Exercise. Do the things that make you feel happy inside. Then you can take care of others.

Next, create rules around how you wish to be treated. Do you let your kids call you names? Do you let people treat you rudely? Do you always say YES? Start saying No. There is nothing wrong with saying no. I give you full permission to say no. Decide how you want to be treated. What is fair? I think you should at least be as well treated as you want your kids to be treated by a teacher or another child or the parent of another child? Write it down if you have to. Be very clear on this so you know where your boundaries are. Then slowly introduce these boundaries to those around you. They may not be used to it at first but they will either get used to how you want to be treated or move out of your life. Be prepared for this.

It's never too early or late to set boundaries...

It's never too early or late to set boundaries...

It’s OK to let people go who no longer serve your highest good. If they can’t handle you wanting a little respect, then they don’t need to be a part of your life. Set these boundaries with your kids and attach the breaking of these rules to consequences. Be consistent in dishing out these consequences otherwise your boundaries will be worthless. This is the second step on your way to empowering yourself. You are worth it. And when you undergo this journey, you will inspire ten more women to do the same. And that has huge repercussions for our entire society. If you can’t do it for yourself, think of the other ten women you won’t inspire because you didn’t do the work for yourself.

Take care of yourselves, ladies. Find men who respect and support you and love you for who you truly are. You are each a beautiful gift to this wonderful planet Earth. You can each make a difference by changing your own life first. Ask me to help and I will be there. Ask friends for help and they will be there. We all have to help each other out on this journey. It’s good to remember we are not alone. If you are having trouble raising your kids, find some help. It’s out there. For every mom like you, there are 20 more in your neighborhood struggling with the same issues. Let’s be there for each other and honor each other in our own individual journeys. Good luck, ladies.

Make a difference...

Make a difference...

This is how we will change the world, one mother at a time.

Sexual Energy

July 2, 2009

I’ve been told by spirit that Mary Magdalene represents the empowerment of our sexual energy. I was wondering if Mary could give us more information on this and how it does or does not relate to our chakras.

MARY MAGDALENE: Yes, this is the question I’ve been looking for from you, Melinda. It is about time we addressed the issue of sexual energy. Our society exploits sex but also downgrades it as something lowly and as something to be ashamed of. This is another way of keeping women from empowering themselves and keeping them from grounding in all aspects of the sacred feminine energy. When women are reduced to sex objects, they lose the power that can come from sexual coupling. The man is in charge and the mystery of the woman and her body is overlooked completely.

Honor the mystery that is woman.

Honor the mystery that is woman.

For those of you who have been raised with strict religious doctrine, I am speaking to you. Think about the amazing things your body can do. You can have babies grow in your womb and feed off what you put in your body and know how to grow limbs and brain cells and tiny toes. How amazing is that? Why deny the Goddess-type skills your body naturally has? What is more like God than creating new life in your womb? How can you doubt our divine essence, my fellow women? Rise up, rise up. You are not just a carrier of babes but a CREATOR of babes and new life. Raise your self-confidence to the goddess you are meant to be. Rise up and claim this sexual energy back from where it got lost.

OK, let’s start with the basics here. You have a vagina. Look, I said it. You have a vagina and it speaks to you. Are you listening to what it wants? Some people call this your Yoni and we can use this word if you prefer. I want you to get comfortable with your own sexuality as it is as natural as the trees and the flowers and the stars. Without sex, none of us would be there. The earth is based upon sex so where is the dirtiness in that? Sex is sex and it’s what keeps this earth going. It’s how we get more plants and animals and humans. There is no reason to be embarrassed. There is no reason to be anything but comfortable with our bodies and how they can interact with other bodies. It is how God made us. There is no sin in doing what our bodies are meant to do which is procreate. So, just drop that thought off and leave it in the past. Let’s move on.

Meditate with your Yoni.

Meditate with your Yoni.

So, let’s listen to your Yoni. This is a Native American word and we can use it if you prefer. There is great sexual energy and this can be accessed through a chakra system. Your Root chakra is most closely related to sexual energy and it is what connects you to Mother Earth. Recognizing the sacredness of your own sexuality lets you better connect to Mother Earth and to your own body. Denying this connection and this sacredness only lets you go so far in understanding your spirituality. If you deny your sexual energy, you deny the power of Mother Earth. You don’t want that, do you? No, I didn’t think so. The patriarchal society has long suppressed this feminine energy so that they may dominate and control. They have called fear and disgust around female sexuality and the honoring of Mother Earth. It is time to change this. It is time to get back to the dirt, the earthiness of who we are and where we came from. Get in touch with that beautiful spark inside of you—deep inside of you hidden in your yoni. This is where the unfolding of your sexual energy begins.

This may sound crazy but I want you to begin to meditate and ask for messages from your Yoni. You will begin to take note of what she wants and needs from you. She may want healing and respect. She may want you to start eating healthier foods so that she can help you gain your sexual energy back. You can restore energy and vitality to this long forgotten but extremely important part of your body. Visualize a beautiful red light in your uterus coming through your vagina and into Mother Earth connecting you. Once you are connected to Mother Earth, ask her for messages. She will connect you to the power that has been hidden from you for so long. Enjoy this connection and strive to do this several times a week until you begin to feel this connection on a daily basis. This will be a good introduction into gaining back your sexual energy. Begin with this. Namaste.

Sacral Chakra and Women

June 5, 2009

I asked Yeoshua (Jesus) and Mary Magdalene the following question: I’m wondering today about encouraging women to become more empowered. I’m seeing connections in some of the readings I give women about their abdomen/sexual organs/digestive system and the sacral chakra. Can you provide more information on that?

Chakra Empowerments

Chakra Empowerments

YEOSHUA: Yes, of course. If you have not studied chakras, I suggest you do so. This is an amazing explanation of the human body and allows you a way to directly influence the energies in your own body. It is like a control panel to your brain and your body. You can manipulate unseen energies by invoking these colors and imagery around your chakras. We are speaking here of the 7 chakras but there are many chakra systems and you are not limited to just one. Today, we will be discussing the 7 chakra system.

There is the sacral chakra just above your root chakra and it is colored bright orange. Now, when women have kids, this chakra dips or fades a bit. It is important to strengthen this chakra after you have had children. Your children absorb this energy when they are in the womb and then take that energy with them when they are born. Women get into a habit of giving their children this type of energy even after they are out of the womb. This is OK. It is all part of the natural process of birthing.

But after a certain amount of time goes by and the child feels settled in the world, this drain on the sacral chakra needs to stop. You may gently do this by visualizing the child’s own connection to mother earth and opening up their chakras first. Then you may cut cords between you and your child through your sacral chakra. I suggest you only do this after the child has reached the age of 2. Up until this point, your child identifies the mother by their sacral energy and it will confuse them if you cut this cord sooner than 2 years of age. After that, it is fine.

After you have cut the cords of your sacral chakra with your child or children, it is important to then take care of this chakra. You should infuse it with orange light every time you meditate for a year afterward. The drain on this energy channel is tremendous when women have children. You need to get this energy back to return to your power as a woman and to upgrade your hormones to return to optimal sexual functioning. Many women find that their libido drops tremendously after children and this is true for men too but I’ll get to them in a minute.

To energize your libido, send orange energy to this chakra and clear out any old dark energy residue left over from childbirthing. Men, too, feel a drop in the energy of their sacral chakra as a part of this energy is devoted to their children as well but their energy bounces back much more quickly than a woman’s. This is good to know. If men have found that their energy in this region has not bounced back sufficiently, then send orange energy to this spot during meditation and clear any energy that is blocking it.

MELINDA’S FOLLOW-UP QUESTION: What other ways can we infuse this chakra with energy and vitality?

YEOSHUA: Drink orange juice and eat orange fruit. The vitality in these foods supports the reintegration of orange energy into that energy channel. Also, carry an orange stone in your pocket and every time you feel it, send that orange color to your chakra.

Add oranges to your diet...

Add oranges to your diet...

MARY MAGDALENE: I agree with Yeoshua on these points. This is so critical for women to do these practices. It is the first step in regaining our power. Our ancestors knew these things and we have forgotten. It is time to remember and reclaim our rightful place next to men, equal to men, and yet different than men. Women have natural abilities that complement men. We are not meant to compete with natural male abilities. We bring our own special powers to the table and it is important to remember this.

I have some herbal remedies to help with this chakra as well. You may grate orange rind and smooth it onto your lower abdomen temporarily staining your skin orange. This is an excellent way to get your mind to place this color in this region. It helps strengthen your visual imagery of this area. You may also rub orange oil in this area. You can buy this at any whole foods store or online. It has powerful revitalization energy and will help you in and out of bed, if you know what I mean. Have your lover spread this orange oil on your lower abdomen to further raise and honor the energies found in this region. It can be fun and healing at the same time.

I am hopeful that remedies and practices like these around childbirth will help raise awareness of how childbirth affects women’s bodies. It is a powerful female life event and it needs to be respected and honored. And women’s bodies need to be treated for a year or two afterwards to truly restore them to their optimal balance. This is just one way to do this by honoring the sacral chakra. There will be more blog posts on this issue so check back.
