Drew Bree’s amazing record – and his beautiful number 9

Even though I spent almost nine years in Pittsburgh – a town that lives and breathes football, I don’t pay very much attention to the game. My husband watches football, so I watch it from time to time. I pay attention to some very different things from him while viewing the game. I’m always looking at the people’s numbers. Every athlete has a number that they wear that stays with them the majority of their career. Whether they are aware of it or not, that number is affecting everything they do.

Every number has a vibration, and when a player wears their jersey, they are activating that vibration in their lives. Sometimes this number is a karmic debt, balancing their strengths and weaknesses, sometimes it enhances their performance because it has strong energy for them, and often it is a bit of both.

I’ve always liked Drew Brees as a person. He is known for his compassion, selflessness, team spirit, and his devotion to his fans, teammates, and humanity in general. So when I witnessed this evening him breaking breaking a record that has been held for 27 years, and parading around the Superdome with tears in his eyes humbly celebrating his victory, I was not surprise to see the number 9 emboldened on his chest.

The number 9 is known for its compassion, humanitarianism and selflessnes. It is the last of all the single digits, and is often known as the number of the old soul. Mahatmas Ghandi was a 9 life path, and represents the true essence of this vibration.

9 is a vibration very strong in Drew Brees’ chart. The name “Drew Brees” adds up to 9 in numerology. His full name, Andrew Christopher Brees has the letter “r” in each name. R carries a 9 vibration because it is the 18th letter of the alphabet (1+8=9) Today, he broke a passing record that has been held for 27 years (also a 9; 2+7=9)

The journey of the number 9 is can be quite difficult. They often have challenging childhoods where their emotional needs have not been nurtured and they feel abandoned. Many people know that Drew Brees, at the time he won the Superbowl in 2009 and also experienced the birth of his child, also had to endure the pain of his mother committing suicide – the ultimate abandonment.

One thing is for sure, Drew himself is going to be an amazing father. Family and taking responsibility for others is his strong suit, since he has the number 6 running through his life as well. His birthday is January 15, 1979.  We see he was born on a 6 day (the fifteenth day of the month 1+5=6). He is also a 6 lifepath.

The numbers 6 and 9 all comprise part of what we call the emotional sensitive numbers in numerology (3, 6 and 9). The abundance of these numbers in his chart indicate how sensitive he is. The 6 lifepath people love to be responsible for others, to take care of them, to nurture them, almost to the point of martrdom. Amazing he is the lead quarterback having the responsibility on his shoulders for a team called the Saints! Since 6 runs so strongly in his chart, it is not surprising the day of this victory for him is a 6 Universal day (12, 26 2011; 1+2+2+6+2+0+1+1=15; 1+5=6). For Drew, this was a personal 17 day for him. in numerology, 17 is known as the immortality number. And that’s just what he did today. Immortalized himself as a record breaking quarterback for the most passing yards in a season. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy!

I am sure Drew will prove himself to contribute to the world in many more beautiful ways, even long after his football career is over. I am excited to see what he comes up with next . You go Drew! We’re rooting for you!

Intuition In Action is not wishful thinking!

Some of the most intuitive people I know have difficulty making decisions.  Many of my psychically sensitive clients come to me confused, feeling stuck and their energy is scrambled. Usually when I see this they have abandoned their intuition in exchange for some kind of illusion of security – either staying with a partner, job, house, or situation because they are afraid to listen to where their intuition is leading them, and then they start justifying and second guessing themselves. When this happens, the heart and mind start playing energetic ping pong and the person doesn’t know what to do. Usually what happens is they start justifying listening to their rationalization and NOT listening to their intuition (which takes a lot of energy!) and they wind up exhausted and even more confused then ever.

This often goes even one step further where the person WANTS a different outcome than where their intuition guiding them because they are afraid to give up their security.  They wish, hope, attempt to manifest and law-of-attract their situation to be better. And no matter how much they try wish that their partner, job or situation is going to change because they are hoping and visualizing, their intuition is telling them that something is not right and they need to respond accordingly.

What needs to happen in these situations is to clearly and calmly ask yourself – why am I feeling confused? What is my intuition telling me is not right about my situation and what steps can I make to change? It’s as simple as that! By doing so you are empowering yourself to make a choice rather than waiting for change to happen TO you.

Step by step, moment by moment, by listening to where your intuition is guiding you, you will inevitably find yourself moving away from disharmonious situations and into more positive ones.

11:11:11 – A Portal to Divine Love

There is a great deal of excitement about the date 11:11:11, and it’s not just because it is a really cool date on the calendar! 11:11:11 is a portal for you to create your hearts desire almost instantly and miraculously.

Every number has a code for us that reveals its purpose. 11 is considered a master number and with it comes extraordinary potential. The sacred geometry of the number 11 shows us it’s gifts. 1 is the only number that is completely straight up and down -  like a column, an antenna, a direct conduit from Spirit to Matter, as well as from Earth to the Cosmos. With this number 1, we receive information very quickly in the form of ideas and inspiration. In fact, the word inspired means In-Spirit.  1 energy moves very quickly through us, and needs to be processed and shaped by us to become manifest. When we receive inspiration from Spirit, it is because we are the perfect vehicles for those ideas to become creation.

When we have a double 1, as in the 11, the energy of inspiration is even more dynamic, not just twice as much but exponentially so. The 11 energy creates a current of light, insight, and intuition that’s almost electric. In fact, the word “LIGHT” adds up to number 11 in numerology. As well as the words, “PSYCHIC”, and “JESUS”. This will give you a clue as to the power and potential of this number.

If you look at the shape of the number 11 – it’s creates two pillars, a gateway, a portal; one which we are in the center of creates of space for us to be in a column of light – to be inspired, to receive wisdom, love, and be in complete alignment with Source energy.

When we look at the sacred geometry of 11:11:11 – there is an alignment that incorporates everyone on the planet. The beauty of this is when we see anything in triplicate, as in three 11s, it is a reminder to us that we are co-creating with the Divine. 3 is the number of Creation, and always speaks of the Divinity of humans, such as in the holy Trinity – the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost, as well as our personal trinity of Body, Mind and Spirit.

11:11:11 is an incredible gateway of light and Divine connection directly with Source that allows you to manifest very quickly. When you are in alignment with your unique purpose; what you were put on the planet to do and share with others, you will be supported by the Universe in immeasurable ways. Doors will open, and connections will be made for you that seem miraculous.

If you have ever had a synchronicity then you have experienced what it is like to have everything lined up, where Spirit and Matter are in tune with one another; you have had a glimpse of that it is like to be connected to past, present, and future all at once.  Quantum physicist know that time is not linear. Shamans throughout the ages have taught us that we can heal our past and dream our future into being. This is what the 11:11:11 is showing us. We have parallel Universes (just as in the parallel lines of the number 11) of Past, Present and Future, and we can effect them all simultaneously.

By consciously releasing some of the emotional charge of past events, you can bring healing to yourself right now. You can also allow the light of 11 to illuminate your future, and change the energy of your future by bringing more love to yourself and others in the present.

The 11 teaches us that where there is light, there is also shadow. As you step into your power more by becoming more of who you are meant to be and share that with the world, it will most likely bring up your fears as well. Just know that is part of the process. As you have the courage to be more of yourself, you will inspire so many others to do so as well. What a beautiful planet this will be when we are all doing what we are meant to do with love and authenticity. Keep shining! The world is waiting for you!

Living in a 7 Home, and Karmic Debt number 16

A friend of mine recently asked me a question about why her life feels upside down at the moment. As you might imagine, any friend of mine knows at least more than the average Jane about numerology, so it got her to thinking. Perhaps it wasn’t just the energy of the year, 2011, or her personal year numerology, but it could be there very home she was living in. So she asked me, How was the number of her home affecting her well-being, and was it making her life more chaotic than need be? It’s an excellent question! Since I thought the answer to her question help other people, I’m posting it here as well.

So here’s the skinny. She’s living in a 7 home. This doesn’t necessarily mean that her address is number 7 – rather that the numbers of her house address add up to 7. (the name of the street doesn’t count) For example, the address 25 Butler Street is a 7, because when we add the individual numbers of 25  it equals 7 (2+5=7). So, why would she think living in a 7 home would be a problem? It’s really a respectable number. In fact, 7 is considered to be a lucky number!

Every number has a spectrum of energy with positive and negative aspects. The positive aspects of 7 are manifold. It is considered to represent the connection of  Spirit manifesting on Earth – an example of which is the seven major chakras as aspect our spiritual energies connecting to our physical bodies. Since the 7 energy is so deeply spiritual, or at least it is in its most positive expression, it requires us to take a retreat from the outside world to contemplate, meditate, and devote ourselves to God. Sounds great, so what’s the problem? Well, as you might have noticed, in the constant demands of our daily lives, it’s not so easy. If you have 7 energy in your life, and you are NOT taking time to yourself to process and connect with your intuition, your life will create a crisis for you so that you are forced to do so. And that’s when you will experience the negative aspect of the number 7. It can feel like your life is moving out of control – you are no longer in the drivers seat, and you simply cannot keep up. This is true especially if your house number (or life path, or destiny number adds up to a 16.

16 in numerology is what is referred to as a karmic debt number. As the name implies, this isn’t easy energy to navigate. It can be incredibly rewarding to live in a 7 or 16 home if you are completely dedicated towards solitary and/or spiritual pursuits such as meditating, painting, writing, studying and becoming more intuitive. Then it can be complete peach and bliss. HOWEVER, if that is not your intention, you can find that your life is spinning out of control and you can feel completely isolated. So what do you do in that situation? Let go and let God! The outside world is crumbling as a means to coerce you to look inside yourself and look towards Spirit for answers. Meditate and pray that you find your truth and can live and express that truth in your daily life. As you turn your attention inward (toward your intuition) and upward (toward the Creator) you will find the peace you require and your life will restore to balance.

In future posts I will write a detailed list of home numbers and their attributes. In the meantime, it is always good to spend time every day in meditation and prayer and ask where you can live in accordance with your personal truth.

Happy home life to all!

Eastern Mind Meets Western Medicine

Recently I was asked by a client how I reconcile the emotional, the spiritual, and western medicine. For instance, if you have a broken leg, how do your emotions enter into that? Or you suffer from depression, isn’t that genetics? How does the spiritual enter into the equation?

This is something I think about all the time and am still learning. I don’t claim to know, so this is merely my understanding from my experience with clients, with myself, from reading books by medical intuitives, and from listening to medical intuitives diagnose me and others on the radio. So please understand this is my interpretation alone–I don’t claim it to be anything more.

I believe physical ailments have a cause on the spiritual, emotional, and physical level. If you look at this as energy, it would be quantum, subtle, and gross (material) energy. As we learned in physics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed. A disharmony begins on the quantum (spiritual) level. Say there is an experience that you need to learn a spiritual lesson from (quantum energy) that causes you to have certain responses that are emotional (subtle energy). When we don’t have the tools, strategies or support to process all of the emotions in an experience, these emotions are stored in our subconscious minds until we are ready to process them. Energy flows through our acupuncture meridians. That energy is emotion, and different meridians channel different levels of emotion. So when we have an experience with this backlog of emotions that are still on our subconscious, the energy (emotions) don’t travel efficiently through a certain meridian, or meridians. This will also affect our choices (physical) about how we respond to and treat our bodies. We will not be aware that certain foods, relationships or behaviors are causing us harm, we won’t have healthy impulses in that area, because the consciousness of that meridian, or aspect of your life isn’t working effectively. We act more reflexively than consciously in those situations. So, over time, when the energy isn’t flowing properly in that meridian (which also will affect your behavior and habits in that aspect of your life) over time, this causes physical degeneration. And when that happens you need some physical help, which can often take the form of surgery, pharmaceuticals, etc.

My teacher of the LifeLine Technique, Darren Weissman says that symptoms are “gifts in strange wrapping paper.” The reason that these ailments are a gift, is that is the only way our body can communicate with us bringing the subconscious patterns to our consciousness. It is the only way that we can bring to consciousness that which we were ignoring before, and that is on all three levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. Therefore, it is always important to treat the physical symptom first – that is the area that has had the most degeneration, and look at the physical habits and treatments to heal that area. And you absolutely cannot address your emotions when you are in physical pain! But there is always more underneath that, that which needs to be healed. The physical is the most dense manifestation of an imbalance, but it always begins on a subtle emotional level.

Part of what I do is detecting certain health problems and understanding the emotional and spiritual reasons behind them – and they are always there. For instance, I noticed I was consulting with several women who had thyroid issues. They were all very outspoken, felt comfortable communicating, and couldn’t understand why they were having issues in their throat chakra – and yet all of them had creative/life purpose urges that they were repressing to accommodate the responsibilities of their family. I guided them to a doctor to treat the condition, and I also encouraged them to pursue their creativity to heal the underlying cause. Because even if you heal the physical, the energy of the emotions underneath that are still looking for expression. More examples: I also notice that several clients with knee pain were afraid of making changes in their lives, and men with back pain often feel overwhelmed with their material responsibilities.

I see the western medicine as being an integral part of the healing process. In some cases, there is nothing better for treating the acute symptoms of imbalance – once it gets to that level. But treating the symptom is one part of the process; you also want to clear the emotional and spiritual issues that led to the imbalance to begin with - and that does include some physical changes as well.

So the next time you’re dealing with your chronic sciatica, by all means go to a doctor. But don’t forget that the sciatica, too, has a spiritual and emotional core, one that needs to be addressed if it is to be truly healed.

Having Healthy Boundaries with our Loved Ones (and others!)

Everything in nature has boundaries, that act as a mechanism to keep the organism healthy. For instance, if you are re-potting a plant, in order for that plant to thrive, it needs to be in the proper sized container. If the container is too large, that plant cannot take root, receive proper nourishment or grow.

Too, the earth itself has a natural boundary – our ozone layer helps filter harmful rays from our life generating sun. So even though we need the sun, we also need to protect ourselves from the sun! Our intuition helps is interpret what is healthy for us and what isn’t. Sometimes, with those close to us, you have an impulse to pull away or draw boundaries, even in situations where that person seems to need us the most. In those situations, your intuition is speaking to you through your feelings. You can have faith that the other person will express their highest and best, by seeing their true self which is pure love, while you maintain your space and give them space to do so.

We often feel guilty about creating boundaries because we feel obligated to always be there for the other person with unconditional love. It is easy to be confused about unconditional love. Often, we interpret that as meaning we accept everything someone does to us and forgiving their actions. Perhaps another way of viewing unconditional love is viewing that person from the perspective of the Higher Self. When a healer is helping someone else, they allow Divine Love to flow through them while maintaining  a loving space through Present Time Consciousness. Whereas  if the healer were to identify with the other person’s pain with pity, rather that maintaining the vision of their true self as being whole and pure love,  then they would inhibit that person’s healing.

Too, in our personal relationships, when someone is mistreating us or acting in a way that is not in alignment of their Higher Self, and we allow them to continuously do so, then we are doing both ourselves and the other person a disservice. Unconditional love is holding the other person responsible for their actions with the belief and the vision of their highest and best, knowing that they, with the help of their Higher Self, can find the path towards healing. If we do their work for them, we inhibit their growth. So when you have those feelings of mis-trust, or needing space, that is often your intuition speaking to you through your Higher Self letting you know that their energy needs to be filtered for you to thrive, and that the balance in your relationship is not in harmony, and you need to pull back so that they can find their strength within themselves, rather than you giving them your power and energy.

If you find yourself feeling guilty about this, try viewing the other person from the perspective of their Higher Self, who knows the meaning of all of our life’s struggles, challenges, triumphs, and joys. We are all here on this Earth to grow and learn!
