Blue Full Moon An extra chance to put yourself in the light… dance with joy and giggle in delight… no excuses just do it NOW… even imagine or pretend… Barbara Franken… Master Creator… Inspiring New Energy Consciousness The grand shift in consciousness that is happening now on Earth is certainly having an intense affect on everyone now. We are all experiencing very extreme weather patterns all around the world… extreme heat, cold, dryness, humidity, rains, droughts and our bodies are following suit. IAM experiencing myself extreme dryness of the skin, in particular my face and scalp when sometimes my mind wonders how much more it can take on?  I hear and observe many people becoming unwell, tired and depressed. For some relaxation I put on the TV and only seem to find portrayals of how angry and afraid the world is feeling and acting out. When I try to watch a nice film all I find are violent, horror or stupid ones. Travelling around Europe on our recent wonderful holiday adventure; which I will write about and post soon, I have been quite amazed how the energy shifted in each country as we drove through and how most Environments and their people continue to play out the old roles of duality… and act as if there is no hope, increasing pressure to perform and inevitability of getting old and suffer. Spain seems to have a distinct feeling of survival, pride and effort… France regal, labour intensive and pleasure… Holland tolerant, open and green… England anxious, limited and seeking… and in general a lot of people seem to have difficulty caring for themself… being polite and courteous to others… finding a clear direction in life… and paying their way. It’s as if the whole world is acting out as if it is in crisis. So… what to do when your life seems to be in crisis? Apart from reading my book Your Magnificent Self… A Journey to Freedom, coming soon… I can suggest to take every opportunity you can imagine… and this weekends Blue Full Moon is a good one to… Put yourself in the light, dance with joy and giggle with delight … No matter how you feel or how you physically can’t… take one moment… to do it, imagine it or pretend you are doing it. and now? you’re asking   How did it make you feel? Did you happen to stop worrying for just a moment? Did you feel a small tingle of joy from within? So congratulations… you did it, you now know you can do it and now you can allow yourself to choose to practice doing it again… and again… and again… Life is all about YOU and your choice… choose well … choose love… and life will serve you accordingly. Your consciousness is gradually shifting from one of fear and illness to one of love and wellness. The world and Humankind is not in crisis, we are only acting as if we are… We can each be the change and this in turn changes our Environment and the world… until the world becomes a loving and peaceful place. And so it is.

  My roller coaster ride is coming to a stand still… My whole being has been shaken up, old habits and styles have been relieved of duty and in place are new amazing practices that are bringing clarity and focus to me as I interact within the multi-dimensional connections of today.  My friend Sarah’s 30 Day Blogging Challenge has made me a wiser person today and I feel that when the winds blow and sway me from side to side, IAM more grounded and steady within my Self. I began this challenge to help myself be more focused and clear of my project this year… self-publishing my first book Your Magnificent Self… A Journey to Freedom and online & local Master Creator Class. I can say in this respect the challenge has been a success… and I have gained so much more. Without spoiling beautiful surprises, I can say that Sarah brings this writing challenge in a unique and authentic manner that only brings out the best in all of yourself. This really resonated with me, because this is exactly what IAM all about, being true to all of my Self… Body, Mind and Spirit. If you want to make new friendships, test your will-power, analyse data, work hard, find out what you love, become smarter at marketing, find out what works for you and share your success. Go and hang out with Sarah.  You’ll be back to thank me for this tip… this I know for sure. IAM so pleased I took this challenge, I yelled a few times and thought about throwing in the towel… but that’s when my Body Consciousness expanded, I became inspired and I will never look back again… and you know what… I love Sarah and next time she comes to Spain I’ll tell her so. Thank you Sarah for making me a wiser and cooler person. You can imagine IAM going to take some time off… IAM going to England to enjoy my little sisters wedding, but I’ll stay in touch… take care… Barbara Franken… DivineHuman Master CreatorInspiring New Energy Consciousness

I am therefore I think. Being comes first, thinking thereafter. Without my bodily existance, my physical presence I wouldn’t be able to perform thinking and all the other functions of a human being....

Ideally, as a child, we are shown. We are given love and affection, our needs are attended to, we feel ‘safe’, we feel cared for by those who love us. We feel accepted; who we are is okay, even if our...
