WHO AM I ??

Finding the Authentic "I AM"

WHO am I?

Have you ever asked yourself this question?   For all intents and purposes, we are human, but identity is so much more than a physical body and a personality.  We are something to others – a child, sibling, friend, spouse, parent, coworker, associate, leader, follower, teacher, entrepreneur, etc, and the list goes on, but what are we to ourselves?  For most of us, the outside world has taken the pleasure of creating labels for us, categorized us in pre-conceived programs, and placed us in positions to conform to and while we tend to often identify with the external labels out of ease, complacency may supersede the inner knowing of Self.  Conditioning within our culture and society is outside of our control when we are children, although some of us find ourselves pushing against various aspects of life in our youth and if we do not have a strong conviction and/or internal compass, we may find over time, the entity we identify as is not who we innately know we are!

As a child, we were assigned a name, responded to its call, learned its spelling, and that name BEcame the identifier of our human personality.  It’s used to make our ‘mark’ in the world for others to recognize us and to document our existence within this reality of Earth.  THIS is how humans identify with their personality, yet it isn’t the full signature of our expression.  We are more than a signature or a label, we hold an energetic frequency or expression similar to our fingerprint, equally as unique!  We are biologically animal in nature, holding an ability for emotional expression, and have a conscience to discern the world we live in.  All of this to say we are multi-dimensional beings, and that is before we add the spiritual component to our being, which is often referred to as belief.

Our biological, energetic frequency leaves an impression just like a pen, hand, or foot would leave an impression.  It is only in developing and growing our sense of awareness as energetic beings that we can become conscious of what that signature is or even what it feels like.  Physics teaches us energy is measured in both light and sound, our body emits both and science has scratched the surface revealing the heart/mind connection in relation to the reproduction of our internal cells.  I am discovering the studies are there, yet it has been carefully masked making it challenging to find, but once you do, you are led to more and more about the nature of our internal cellular structure and how energy in light and sound affect every aspect of our BEing.

I draw a correlation to our identity in the same way, we have studied ourselves in correlation to the world we reside in, yet we haven’t necessarily unmasked our truest identity AUTHENTIC to our imprint and expression outside of societies perceptions and acceptations.  I believe this is the reason so many humans continue seeking for something to fulfill themselves and come up short.  We are seeking ourselves, without the labels and the acceptations.  Coming into alignment with our Authentic BEing IS the only way to FULLY EXPRESS ourselves as we were created to do so.  Unique PASSIONS and GIFTS ready to serve the collective humankind.  It is in this symbiotic exchange of energy with the rest of the earth and her creations, that we find joy, abundance, compassion, and peace.  I was led to Gene Keys, by Richard Rudd, to further investigate energetic signatures of my BEing and highly recommend it for those who are led to dive deeply into the meaning of existence as a human.

As we grow in awareness and BEcome capable of choosing our expression, we also realize there is a reponse ability for the choices we make, an accountability to creation itself.  By knowing unequivocally who we are, on a deeper level, by removing the programming, labels, cultural appropriations, creeds, opinions, and judgements we are more likely to engage via energetic matches to our frequency.  We realize we are not victim of our circumstances, but a product of our choices and this can be used to EMpower our life going forward?

If you are challenged by the initial question, “WHO ARE YOU?” and are curious about conscious choice, energy, triggers, and tools and skills to move you forward in your search for who you are, I’d invite you to leave a comment and follow my blog for more insight.  I offer Creative Embodiment Coaching Sessions to fit your personality and know many other providers of various modalities and am glad to recommend others.

Until next time, sending you love and hugs and re-member, “In all you say and all you do, simply BE authentically YOU!”  – Tammy

Aurora and New Beginnings

In Latin, Aurora means dawn. Aurora is the namesake of the Greek goddess of the Dawn. Galileo coined the phrase Aurora Borealis to describe the dancing lights illuminating the night sky leading up do dawn. But in all instances, aurora describes an illuminated rainbow of colors displayed in the dark skies above, typically in the northern hemisphere. Yet, in the current climate, most of the entire earth was able to view this natural phenomenon of photon light entering our atmosphere. So many humans experiencing an incident over a little more than 24-hour period, bringing a sense of wonderment, joy, and beauty. It burst open hearts, and many forgot the chaos for a time while they bathed in a spectacular colored LIGHT.

I wish I had words for what it felt like, but there are none. I tried to capture it in watercolor paintings, and although they are wonderful, it would require more than a verbal or visual expression alone. The feeling was all encompassing peace, gratitude, and awareness of the likeness of each Soul to one another. Each of us is a fractal of light on earth creating an incredible stage show for the universe to witness and mirror, just as we witnessed the incredible color waves combining as a light show and mirror for us.

The one thing that stands out the most after this past weekend to me is, can we be motivated to BE loving at any given moment, even when challenged. How we receive anything in our lives IS completely reliant on the perception of reality, and how we CHOOSE to act/react to any given circumstance. Is it “good or bad,” “easy or hard,” “empowering or disempowering?” The choice always remains fluid, yet we are responsible for consequences that manifest from the choices. We also can change our perception in an instant when experiences offer another perspective. Is the glass half full or half empty?

Perhaps it can be both at the same time. Perhaps good and bad can be experienced simultaneously, and instead of a subscription to a polarized outcome, we allow all to BE. Without the dark sky, the Aurora would not be visible. The sky didn’t reject the light, the sky was magnified in beauty in spite of the darkness. Humans have a tendency to ignore, disregard, or hide what we don’t like to see. We would rather turn from them than look directly at the issue and root it out. If there is one thing that I’ve learned over my 47 years, is that you cannot run away or hide from any darkness, it follows us and can consume us if we ignore it. We all are BEings of light, literally our bodies are light and sound waves within varying elemental equations creating physical matter. We can literally change anything we choose to through intention and authentic means. So, rather than fear the darkness within our BEing, be courageous and learn from it.

Perhaps, this weekend offered a reminder to view from outside our “normal” capability and look into the darkness for the glimmers of light that already exist and perhaps were just too afraid to acknowledge.

Only LIGHT can look at darkness and see its purpose, however, darkness isn’t aware of light ’til it BEcomes illuminated.

I will be adding to my shop and hosting a “Studio Blowout” sale in the upcoming weeks. There are so many wonderful and profound messages coming in from the Angelic BEings, I am having a difficult time keeping up. So many NEW ideas and insights to share with the world. BE well, and, as always…”In all you say and all you do, simply BE authentically YOU!” Tammy

12/12, Time to Project

Our reality is so profound, so unique, that through the simple act of thought we openly engage in the projection process of manifestation. Spoken word and physical action are the literal manifestation of thought. What we think is predicative of what we create and when you’re aware of your thoughts, you can more readily predict your reality!!

The Portal is open, and the Gateway runs through 12/21 Winter Equinox, giving us time to project into our 2024 reality. A special gift of a fiery Sagittarius New Moon accompanies this portal with an opportunity to really clear out old programs, patterns, and negative energies which have built up over the past year or more. Let it go!! It is far easier to travel without excess baggage from previous trips around the sun, unless of course it’s the wisdom gained.

Our ability to keep an attitude of gratitude is also easier when we don’t go digging and re-hash already resolved experiences. I call this the game of ‘what if’ and its only purpose is to keep us from forward motion by holding us in a looping program questioning our resolve. We can, however, look back to access the experiential knowledge gained and apply it to current circumstances. Either way, the human journey is but a brief moment of a Soul Experience, why would we want to squander the time re-living what’s already provided for growth?

In looking at opportunities for 2024, we can create intention and momentum to achieve through simple actions and daily affirmation of them but acknowledge that going with the flow might also mean identifying resistance. By allowing Spirit to guide our steps and taking time to honestly check in with ourselves, we can redirect our momentum according to the flow of energy each and every day and achieve success. Resistance provides hints to guide us in a new direction.

I’m not much for predictions, but I can say if we provide clear intentions, hold a frequency of empowerment and gratitude for what is to come, we will be at peace with what God/Creator/Universe provides.

Be well, and “In all you say and all you do, Simply BE authentically YOU!” -Tammy

Making Sense of Yester Year

I find great joy and resolve looking through my journal ramblings and visual representations of the past. Both a visual journal entry and written journal entries are included in today’s Blog Post as I gear up for another workshop on using these techniques for personal growth and spiritual awakening/development. I may not have daily entry practices, but find myself involved in a collective energy over a period of days to write down or draw my inner musings. It takes time to embody the wisdom that resides within, which is why as I’ve moved more into Reiki and the healing arts, I find myself encouraging others to practice writing or visually journaling their thoughts and experiences. I’ll be using a few snippets of a rather lengthy November 16th, 2022 entry while contemplating and constructing this Blog post. Enjoy the ramblings of a Divine Feminine Warrior and Energetic Artist!

The opening lines of the post read, “We are in a holding pattern of creation. In the past, the masculine ‘Braveheart moment’ aspects of freedom were deeply rooted in trauma based programming. We now have the opportunity to embody a NEW, feminine template of ‘Love’ created by balancing the masculine and feminine aspects of our dualistic world.” How very interesting that even after a year of recognition, collectively our world seems to still be sitting with a war template looming with fear being projected all around us. Do we sit and wait for a quintessential ‘hero’ to ‘save’ us from our inadequacies? Do we SPEAK up in love in effort to balance the energies of hate and divide? Do those of us who are mothers allow our children to be sacrificed at the musings of bloated egos, power, control, corruption, and greed? I believe humanity is swinging in this epic pendulum waiting for a collective move toward loving our neighbor as ourselves, and Christ Consciousness is supporting this awakening moment in a majority of humanity where continued suffering takes a back seat to love, healing, and compassion.

Continuing, “…the extreme lack of love for self and humanity, and tat violence, war, greed, control, and power have created the current world we reside in. The hard TRUTH is inevitable AND to choose change is the only way through it. We are so much stronger than many perceive, and the exact things that show us our strength can be what holds us back. It is the FEAR, hardships, and trauma that ARE the blessings AND the proverbial ‘curse.'” What is there to gain from letting our ego run away with our human traits without restraint from the gifts of the Spirit?? Enough of the ancestral patterns of self destruction, we desire more than that, yet we trick ourselves into thinking we are not worthy.

“Diamonds are not created in an instant, nor do they know their own beauty. They are created under extreme pressure over great periods of time. They are uncovered/discovered by those who appreciate their beauty.” A stone of great beauty and strength, it can slice through the hardest of materials. Humans can be like diamonds. Breaking the trauma cycles with courage. Finding grace, forgiveness, and compassion for one’s own self will bring about the ability to share the same sentiment with others. AHHHH, but it hurts, and its confusing, and it makes me feel completely isolated and I’d rather feel ‘safe’ and cope than face the TRUTH.” Can you see this playing out in grand form in our world as I write this? Do you see how globally placed media, along with social media platform AI algorithms are placating fear to disempower innate human ‘spiritual’ abilities? By idols creating misaligned ideologies relegating us to an ignorant physical mass of cells? Do we really believe we NEED something outside of ourselves to be safe, loved, worthy, human even? All questions to contemplate and conclude where our beliefs and truths emerge, either from within our being, or from another and their opinion?

Human emotions are necessary, yet we must not fear the feels. We can flow through them and not remain attached, as a spiritual Soul experiencing life as a human, we are NOT the emotions, they do not hold power over us unless we allow them to. Observe them, feel them, and move through them, just like the current state we find ourselves in. See the illusions for what they are, a program designed to pull us out of our Spiritual knowledge and have us merely act and react as a human separate from our Soul.

“Truly the human journey is about perception. Are you a victim of your circumstances pointing to external causation, or are you empowered by them? We are tasked with answering this question AND with finding the courage and fortitude to take each step into our own power granted by the Supreme Creator and use the Gifts of the Spirit to hone skills and create a personal tool kit, along with the armor of God to BE actively serving within humanity creating from the place of Love and compassion with our specific set of skills.”

In wrapping up today, I am encouraged by conversations I have with those individuals who see the illusory world, false safeties and narratives, and bizarre ideologies which seem to be delivered to merely ‘save the face’ of old power structures and are not necessary for the majority of humans. We must CHOOSE to move on of our own accord and pull the plug on feeding the beast seeking to feed itself. It’s not about perfection in what you journal, it’s simply about doing it, here is a follow up visual entry:

As always, BE well, and “In all you say and all you do, simply BE authentically YOU!” Much love, Tammy.

Finding Courage to Bring Balance

In the process of reaching Self Mastery, we are continuously faced with lessons leading us back to internal critiques of self. It is wise to approach this critique with mercy, grace, compassion, and ultimately ‘love’ for ourselves. The direct action of viewing our own shortcomings and/or trauma from a place of self-love enables us to identify and transform (alchemize) before we project them unto others. There are subtleties and nuances around how we access our sub-conscious thoughts and behaviors, so it helps to have a conscious alchemy “tool kit.”

To grow, shift, and change our Being, we must dig deep and find courage to face our shortcomings/trauma, even if they are not of our own making. We task ourselves with a second step in mastery which is forgiveness, first of self (remembering mercy, grace, and compassion,) and then others in the same manner. Choosing to go this path is a brave one when so many humans merely exist without any awareness of their conscious tool kit. I refer to this as ‘autopilot’ mode, the default operating system within the body that responds to shortcomings/trauma, in all sorts of forms and can be quite dangerous. From unhealthy self talk, to coping addictions, to causing external verbal, psychological, and physical harm to others, unconscious living has risks with unknown variables and if extreme patterns continue, the individuals often a significantly more painful experience to draw them out of the pattern entirely. Those who are conscious of patterns, and the pain of shortcomings/trauma often make an effort to not consciously harm others, afflicting pain directly on themselves instead. It is the lowest of the vibrational energy forms and, if not recognized, may result in ending ones own life.

Now, I don’t wish to take people down a path of despair, I wish to inspire and empowering individuals to know they are loved by a Divine Creator, and regardless of their issues, recognition patterns and behaviors so they can heal themselves. I think it is important to know there are common misconceptions humans may have around this ‘critiquing’ of ones own shortcomings and trauma. Much ‘collective’ judgment exists around common historical terms like ‘evil’ and ‘sin’ in relation to our human faults. I will point out that although I was raised Catholic, and explored Christianity my entire life, I consider myself a child of the Divine, and will forever hold Christ’s teachings deep within my being but I believe there is more to the “truths” many of us were force fed through memorizing doctrine. It is important to note Christ lived in a time where a hierarchy of masculine entities sought to control reality out of fear and that his life and teachings were to provide Extra-Worldly Higher Guidance direct from the Divine Source, whereas priests and holy men held worldly views. Christ was against the worldly teachings and sought to unite through Love. His teachings were given in Aramaic, and in His culture and language ‘these terms ‘evil’ and ‘sin’ quite literally meant to miss the target or mark because it was in reference to archery, and in Hebrew ‘sin’ means “missing the mark.” “Missing the mark” in life’s causes a separation from the course of Love you set on with Divine, however, it is the judgment of the human precipitating the guilt and shame. Trusting the Divine Source of Love is unending and provides the courage to face all challenges which arise on our human journey and our dedication to correct the path of the ‘missed marks’ through forgiveness, mercy, grace, and compassion are all that are needed to heal anything in this lifetime and for generations to come.

A daily practice of energetically checking in with Divine Source and our human vessel will serve as part of the conscious ‘tool kit,’ and includes any or all of the following; prayer time, meditation, mantras, creative expression, nature observation, physical exercise and so much more. In particular, I will focus on a meditative practice walking through our energy centers located directly within our human body, the Chakra Channel. Becoming attuned to the vibration and frequencies in each of your body’s systems and connecting (plugging it into your emotional and spiritual bodies, as well) to Divine Source to discern where you are ‘missing the mark.’

I have attached a downloadable PDF meditation to use as a tool for checking in with yourself. I will update and add an audio file in the future. For more information on the Chakra system and how it can provide insight into your wellbeing, stay tuned to my blog posts and social media sites for posts linked to evolution and expansion of your Human, your Spirit, and your Soul!

As always, BE well and…”In all you say and all you do, simply BE authentically YOU! ~ Tammy
