Ponder this thought for a moment: Planet earth is a video game. Consider that we are all are here to “win” the game of life, or rather get to mastery skill levels, and to slay the proverbial dragons we encounter with our incredible agility, mental acuity, and wit. All along the journey there are traps to lead us astray, as well as important clues, signs, and road maps. We are provided only one tool to distinguish between the traps and the clues, to determine which is leading us to victory and true survival, and which to our demise.

Perhaps you’d agree that it would be no fun if this tool were easy to use. Otherwise if too simple, we would find a need to program into the game varying levels of complexity. In order to accomplish this, we adopt a multi-layered feeling-based tool known as intuition, or radar, or our gut feeling. The basic premise is that when you feel  certain things, it’s a “green light”, and when you feel others, it’s a “red light”.

1) Be yourself. There is really no other way for a Goddess. Actually this is a pre-requisite. In moments when you are engulfed in being yourself, the universe bows down to you.

2) Worship your body. The body is the shrine as it hold all your powers. From psychic powers of the pineal gland, empathy from the heart to sex power (and everything in between and beyond).

3) Sing and dance - even if this is on the "inside". Move to beat of your body as if it were a cosmic humming..

4) Emerse yourself in nature. A goddess knows she IS nature and to be empowered she must return to nature to seek inspiration, guidance and healing. Eat foods in their natural raw form, use products that are all natural. Use nature to be nature. Your natural self is your most beautiful self.

5) Never hold back feelings - respect your emotions. If you are angry, the world around you probably needs some discipline. If you are sad and vulnerable, through your emotions you soften your environment and bring healing love. 

6) Don't judge yourself (and others). You are free to be as sexy, as passionate, as crazy, as strong, as vulnerable, as prissy, as whatever YOU want to be! And you are the only one you will have to reckon with - no one else.

7) SURRENDER. This is one of my power techniques: when in doubt - LET IT GO. If you don't know the answer, let go of the question and the answer will arise. Nothing is worth holding onto if it gets in the way of your love and fun.

8) Play! Schedule time to go out and play... pick people in your life who are true playmates and enjoy playing as much as you do.

9) Understand the PARADOX that is you: Goddess is the master of her reality so she realizes she is everything - the good, the naughty, the strong, the vulnerable, the forgiver, the enforcer, the lover, the discipliner- the whole shabang! 

10) When the paradoxes are confusing - follow your BLISS INSTINCT. Allow the bliss sensations in your body to guide you to what aspect of you which is MOST effective in every moment. Does it feel good to be soft and gentle goddess or strong and fierce goddess in that moment? Let the sensations decide your actions - not the mind!

The LumenOctave Principles – A Detailed Guide to the Language of the Soul

In our purest form, we are consciousness; we are the light that experiences everything. The instrument through which we experience our light – the human body – is essentially created by sound, i.e. atoms vibrating on different frequencies. These vibrations proceed in all kinds, aspects, and densities of the matter that constitutes the Universe, from the finest elements to the coarsest.

Lumen is defined as the total amount of visible light emitted by a source.

When the white light of consciousness enters the body, it refracts and travels through seven different organs and glands with seven different frequencies. Each frequency regulates the characteristics and color of light emitted. For example, when the consciousness light enters the pineal gland, the energy emitted is violet due to the specific vibration of the gland.

By that standard, The LumenOctave is the light of consciousness experienced through an octave of sound frequencies: the seven frequencies plus the origin of the octave.

The explanation behind this can be found in music theory. In a musical scale, there are seven notes: Root, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh are the scale degrees relative to the root note – the origin of the octave. The seven-tone scale is the formula of a cosmic law defined by ancient schools applied to music. However, studying the manifestations of the law of octaves in vibrations of other kinds shows that the law applies to everything else in our reality; that light, heat, chemical, magnetic, and other vibrations are subject to the same principles as sound vibrations. For instance, the light scale is known to physics; in chemistry, the periodic system of the elements is closely connected with the principle of octaves.

Sunlight entering and leaving a drop of water to create a rainbow is a simple natural phenomenon exemplifying this law. When the light of the sun leaves the prism, it is no longer white, but spreads into seven rays of different color: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, depending on the angle though which is enters and leaves.

How does this apply to the Human Experience?

Musical sounds are organized into patterns of harmony. Noise is random, disorganized sounds.  A harmonious sound is called a tone, and is produced by vibrations contained in an organized way for the performer to control the loudness, quality and duration of the tone.

Similarly, the harmony of the LumenOctave – essentially the interplay between body and spirit – is determined by a person’s intentional ability to take charge of the tones within the octave and create harmony in life instead of disruption and noise.

The eight tones of the LumenOctaveEach tone of the LumenOctave is the native sound to a specific aspect of the human experience, e.g. finances, sex, relationships, personal boundaries, love, communication, independence, mental clarity and purpose, etc. By that definition, each tone communicates in clear messages about what works within that aspect – and what doesn’t.

Feeling dis-empowered in the face of adversity and criticism seems to be the MO for us.  When we get blamed for things at work or if our friends and relatives judge us for things we do, we tend to feel defeated, hurt and beaten down.  “Why is this happening to me?” we ask.

The answer though- as hard as it may be to take it- “Its NOT happening to you”  YOU are creating it. But one would wonder why would i be interested in creating misery, pain and suffering for myself.  It simply doesn’t make sense.  Well my dear, it may seem to be senseless but the TRUTH is that this pain and misery poses the potential for the greatest opportunity.

We are infinite beings… all on the journey to remember our magnificence. I cannot emphasize this enough.  So why the pain?  Think of it like this.  You are watching a play in the theater.  All characters are going along doing their business.  But there is a drama brewing in one area of the stage.  How do you propose we bring attentions to this section?…  SPOTLIGHT!!!  Pain is your higher selves spotlight to let you know, “Lookie we have a problem here.”

Its designed to shift your focus to the area which needs help.  Let me get into the specifics of the type of help pain is trying to flag- dissatisfaction with your progress, not being recognized for your efforts, feeling belittled, things not going your way.

It is important to remember you are creating your reality.  You already KNOW that all the joys, tribulations are your thoughts and actions manifest successfully.  i.e if you are happy in your job you will remember how well you manifested it by studying for the interview or aggressive networking, or by writing the most ridiculous but effective cover letter.  In short we have NOOO problems in accepting our gifts are a result of our creation.

Its when we are unsuccessful, we seem to outsource our responsibility.  We tend to think we are unfairly treated, misunderstood, wrongly accused and tend to either blame or feel guilt.  This is where your opportunity lies to realize that your are the creator EVERY aspect of your life, and once you see this you can CHANGE it.

Don’t judge yourself. Begin to say to yourself, “I will accept responsibility for all that I am involved in. I will accept responsibility for everything that happens to me. If I don’t like what is happening to me, I will begin to ask myself why I create things that I don’t like. Maybe it’s to get my attention about something so that I can change what is really not working for me that I cannot see.”

Having had some practice in guiding myself and others through this process… If you need assistance in nipping it in the bud, I am here to help.. www.blissinstinct.com

When life shines light onto areas that are overcast- heed to the opportunity and go deeper into the pain… and there in lies the opportunity to NEVER create the painful situation again.  Most often, the hidden pain is where the greatest light is.  We fear only our illumination nothing else.

Over the past few months especially, I have felt the energies on this planet revving up big time; I’m sure you feel it too. I have my own version about what’s going on in 2012 where Mayan prophecies, ascension to the 5th dimension, apocalypses, nuclear disasters, solar flares, pole shifts and all other major stories collide.

This post is not about that, though. (In fact, considering the amount of propaganda existing out there, I feel these topics are rather sensitive in nature. If you want to know my personal stance on the ascension processes, please feel free to ask me in private).

I’m writing this post to share my thoughts on what is happening on the planet right now, and you don’t have to be a believer or disbeliever in any of those things to know we are in a pretty special time. Part of the reason for the acceleration of energy can be attributed to the position of our solar system. We are going through a sort of “sun rise”; however, it is our own sun, which is rising to a bigger sun at the center of the solar system.

What does this have to do with you? Well, as we expand our awareness – our inner light – we tune into our place, not only in our local environment, but also on the planet, in the solar system and the universe. On one hand, I have felt incredibly rejuvenated and motivated as a result, on the other, drained and inconsequential. Both the light and the shadow within ourselves are in coming through in full force, taking us for a spin! I have seen some of the most generous acts of love and compassion and some of the most abhorring gestures of hatred, unfairness and cruelty all in the last few months, sometimes only separated by a few minutes in time.

But more importantly, I am noticing a huge difference in how people are reacting! I feel people are being touched so very deeply by both the negative and the positive. One way or another, it seems like it is time for us to be on the fast track to live out both the light and darkness of our karmic contracts.

At this point, I have come to a place of enjoying all the dichotomies around me, but there was a time when I was also inevitably swept up by the wave. Seemingly, I had such little control, and I will be the first to admit – it was both frustrating and difficult. However, I was finally able to jump off the wave and decode the energetic dynamics – and that’s when I started having fun.

Basically, it has to do with the part of us that needs to remember we are the SUN. Or just like it. -A shining star with our own energy, radiating light and life onto things around us. What happens around us does not and should not affect us if we just commit to blaze!

Even if you feel there is no way you could start blazing or radiating right now – maybe you’re going through a tough time – in the very least, try this: Find a nice spot where you can see the sun. Connect with its rays and warmth and see how it shines on you, no matter what. Gradually integrate this feeling into your system, and slowly you will see that you start shining from within.

The way I shifted my experience from being one of frustration to having fun with all this energy, was through a very specific coding of my DNA, ‘transplanting’ the power of the sun into my own cells. It helped me reorient and realign myself with bliss, good vibes and power, almost instantaneously. It was a way of descending the stress monkey to learn the important lessons about this special time and claim the power to radiate bliss rather than accumulate stress. No wonder we have been worshiping the sun throughout history.

Question:  I can feel the bliss in my body when I tune in but I am not sure how to follow it.  My ego constantly seems to interfere.  How do I go deeper in following the sensations?

Answer: Surrender is one of the main tools for going deeper within the bliss instinct. We have many instincts that we use throughout the day, many of them for survival, such as instincts that prepare us for fight or flight. However the bliss instinct helps us recognize what brings us joy so that we don't just survive, we thrive. Simply put, following the bliss instinct lead us to happiness.

We grow up believing , its not OK to pursue happiness, that pursuing security and being practical is more important. In fact happiness, bliss, is the only true goal. Since bliss is our true nature, we cannot help but pursue it. Unfortunately our attempts are misguided. We race to find a sweetheart, we accumulate great stores of financial wealth, we climb the ladder of celebrity, we reach for a higher social standing, or we even follow a spiritual path.

We forget that  OUR BLISS IS RIGHT HERE WITH US NOW. We believe that bliss can be achieved by having things. As a result of racing so hard, seeking those fantasies that we imagine will bring us bliss, we  FORGET the magic of everything around us. The faster we speed up our activities to achieve happiness, the more we lose ourselves in the past or the future, grasping for what is not here. As we pursue this race to nowhere, we grow estranged from our natural feeling of bliss.
