Kalyn Raphael

I consider myself very fortunate for many reasons and one of these is because I have a couple of things in my life where my heart opens. One of these is in the Riviera Maya.

The flight from Albuquerque has gone through Houston so that we have been traveling over half the day.

As we touch down in this mystical place, stepping off the airplane usually gives me a small rush of heaven, relaxation and joy. This time is even more magical. Our first steps outside of the airport and into the thick, dense humid jungle air begin to open my heart. As if I were walking through a magical machine that could attune my energy and myself, within minutes I can feel a fluttering of energy in my heart, a transformation occurring that opens my heart and brings me into a more heavenly connection with my Source Energy. I am home.

Even the hour drive in the shuttle van doesn’t erase the buzz of bliss I am enjoying; the feeling of being loved.

Can you imagine being somewhere that makes you feel as though you are being held, coddled and loved by the jungle all around you, so that only by opening your eyes do you see that you are not being touched? Can you imagine being caressed, kissed and so welcome that your whole emotional body lets go and comes to a place of such deep connection that it knows that all is well in this loving, all-knowing universe?

To come to this place of expansion and knowing is what I see as the Mayan words “inlak- esh” meaning your are me, I am you. That place of recognizing that there is no worry in my life, or yours, that is valid or real because the truth is that all is one and the One is truly only love.

The You On A Tropical Vacation

On vacation we just aren’t ourselves. That is truly one reason we go on vacation.

Because everything is energy first, different places hold different energies, which is really why we go to them. After all, we are looking for a change of scenery, a change of pace. These truly mean that we are looking for a different rhythm, different from our daily routine.

We tend to be attracted to beautiful, magical vacation spots because, after all, they are relaxing and revitalizing. On a good vacation we rest, we let go of our daily concerns and worries and we enjoy ourselves. In other words, we stop being the version of us who worries at home. We leave the version of us that perhaps saves money at home and the version that is busy being uptight. On vacation, at least to some degree, that goes because we are taken with our new environmen, and it’s energy.

Getting away for a trip, especially to a location with a higher vibrating energy, lets us become a version of ourselves that we like more. We can’t help it because we get more into our flow. We tend to slow down on vacation and explore more of ourselves through our interests, the activities,, the food and even the shopping we do. Haven’t you ever bought something wild, like a flowered Hawaiian shirt, that you normally wouldn’t buy at home? It’s because you are tapping into the more lively or colorful you.

Inner Light

We all Shine

The subject of birthdays came up today relative to celebrations. This is an interesting topic because birthdays are sometimes celebrated and sometimes parties are held for birthdays. That is to say that sometimes a person’s life is celebrated and other times there is a birthday which is a reason for having a party.

So, today I mentioned that I’d read a book several years ago called Mutant Message Down Under and that the topic of celebrations was viewed differently by the Aboriginal tribe, which the book is about.

The tribe doesn’t celebrate birthdays (doesn’t even seem to keep track of them) as they see nothing “special” in a certain day once a year. Instead when an individual achieves something for themselves within their lives, such as conquering a new skill or growing in some way, then they let the tribe know and a celebration is created to honor their achievement.

What a powerful position to take! These celebrations are about knowing ourselves so well that we are monitoring our lives and our development. This is a wonderful, empowing way to be! What a great way to view life!

A birthday is the day we were born, and we were all born. Unfortunately, with this there can be nothing extraordinary to us because everyone who is alive was born. From this perspective there is nothing that makes us unique. And yet, we are all unique, we each have an inner light.

We can empower ourselves in our lives by finding our own celebrations, our own achievements and development. After all, we are all different from one another, the way everyone’s finger print is different. And as we each tune into ourselves and our own lives it becomes easier and easier to find what makes us different. Sometimes what makes us extraordinary is our ability to build beautiful things; for others it is the ability to entertain others; some people have green thumbs and still others make great food. Unfortunately, our world tends to judge what is admirable in others and what is not. Often what the media focuses on is the pain and suffering of others or the accomplishments of people that don’t really affect our lives, such as celebrities.  But the truth is that our lives and our personal worlds are smaller than our society and there are always people in our lives that have great positive affects and influences over us such as teachers, friends or family. The extraordinary influence of these people in our lives may be insignificant to an outsider, but not to us. Who influences you and your life? Who shines their light into your light? Where do you shine your light on others?

Our own inner light is extraordinary because it is our unique light that brings love and joy to ourselves and to others. That is what makes it worthy of a celebration. What ever it is that we do, our true expression of ourselves and our love, that is a great gift in life. It may go unnoticed by the world, but it need not  go unnoticed by ourselves and those with whom we share our lives.

To celebrate our accomplishments and our personal development is to bring intent and purpose to our lives. And to celebrate ourselves in this way is to allow ourselves to become more of who we wish to be.

“Freedom is born of choice. When you are young if you are given choice you then know the energy of freedom. You are meant to know certain energies such as love, connection, safety, exploration, creativity, expression & power. If any of your core energies are missing or under developed, then you are meant to allow them to now enter your life and to develop them in yourself and your expression.”

-The Oracle

Who You Choose To Be

Just like seasons have weather themes, so to speak, time does to. I am always focusing on the theme of the energy at hand and guiding my students as to what course of action is most in the flow of the energy at hand so that they may make the most out of what is offered to them. In this way, they are able to get the most bang for their buck, as they say, by working with universal flow.
The theme this year is really about becoming Who we truly are, and I have spoken about this quite a bit. It is about choosing Who we want to be and what we want to experience. When we choose Who we want to be the Law of Attraction (LOA) then sets out to begin to use the energies within us to attract the corresponding experiences to us. In other worlds, just the choice to Be who we wish to be activates energy within us that LOA then uses to attract experiences to us.
Thus, it is crucial to always choose Who we wish to be, especially this year when universal energy is behind us empowering our choices.
I was listening to Neal Donald Walsh the other day. He said that no one does anything that he or she does not choose to in this life. This statement is powerful and true. Although some may say that there are times when they do not have a choice, the point that Neal is making is that we only find ourselves not having a choice when we are empowering an inner victim. We find that we always have a choice in every situation in life when we realize that we have that power. In other words, we need to choose to have this power and then we do.

How To Choose
Becoming Who you wish to be is a rather simple choice that you just make. Within us all there are several possibilities – each person has several interests and/or urgings that tell them about several different people they could be or are. For example, you can be a parent, a friend, a lawyer, a mystic, an honest person and a liar. Just the same, you can choose to leave being a liar behind to become an honest parent. You can leave being a mystic behind to become a dedicated lawyer.

Excuses Not To Choose
It Is Not In The Cards For Me:
Sometimes people think that destiny means that we cannot choose Who we will be. They confuse energetic strengths with destiny because they think that a pre-destined path means that they can’t choose Who they will be. However, this is untrue. You can be Who you wish to be and you can do what you choose, as Neal says. There is no force in the universe that will work against your will and turn you into something you are not. On the contrary, the universe and your Source Energy are actually working to help you become empowered enough that you will allow yourself to become Who and What you truly are, choices that are given to you. A pre-destined event or opportunity can bring you more of Who you are and it can help you, but it never hinders or binds.
Being at a place to empower ourselves and to realize that we can choose Who we are for ourselves is meant to be a natural place of maturity. It is meant to be a part of our process of becoming adults and of being at a point in our lives where we will take on the responsibility for ourselves and for choosing Who “ourselves” is. And yet, this natural stage of life is one that many people have difficulty reaching and coming from.
Life Doesn’t Allow Me:
For many people it is as if they feel that everything has a price in life and that they simply can’t really have what they want, so how could they ever be Who they truly wish to be? These types of feelings are quite common and can be overcome. It is true, none of us are perfect, nor are we meant to be. It is true every person makes mistakes and has weaknesses. Life doesn’t reward or punish based on this; that is simply not how energy and life work. On the contrary, life doesn’t reward or punish us at all, we do. Just feeling as though life is unfair to us is something we place upon ourselves.

See Things Clearly
Why not focus on the light within ourselves? Why not focus on the dreams and desires we hold within ourselves? Why not remember that we make our own choices and that we are the ones determining what energies we activate within us? Why don’t we determine what energies LOA will use to attract our experiences to us?
We all have positive thoughts and negative thoughts, but our thoughts and our feelings do not determine Who we are. Instead, out of all the hurtful feelings and all the violent thoughts that we do have, what determines Who we are is simply what we choose to be. I’m sorry to say that we all have a violent, negative side- but I’m happy to say that, just the same, we all have a beautiful, joyful and loving side. What we seek from within ourselves and what side of ourselves we choose to Be and act from- that is what determines Who we are. These are the simple and powerful choices that determine what kind of person we are. The intention we hold makes the choice to bring forth the energy we choose within ourselves and that is the choice Neal speaks of. We always have a choice as to Who we wish to be and the more often we choose the same aspect of ourselves, be it dark, light, confidant or insecure, that is the energy we activate and increase within ourselves. That is the energy LOA then uses in our lives.
At each turn in life things happen, but how we respond to them and Who we choose to be is what determines what our life will be like tomorrow and Who we are today.

There is so much to do every day, so many things to tend to.

Now I sit outside, under the ramada by the fire, surrounded by my Ohana*. I feel so comfortable: I laugh, smile and speak. The wind is blowing, the clouds are colorful and I feel that there is nothing to do.

But to sit here and be.

To Sit Here & Be

* Ohana – In Hawaiian Ohana means family,  a word we have adopted to describe those who feel like family in our spiritual schools and circles; those who we share a spiritual path with in this journey of life.

~Joy~

Joy comes from within.

We can’t be given joy and we can’t have something happen to make us joyful. Instead, we need to tap into the love we have for ourselves, for our day and for the gifts in our life.

Then joy will overflow from us.

Authetically Selfish LOA

Kalyn, did you say that being Selfish will increase my ability to use LOA (Law of Attraction)?

Yes! Absolutely! However, there is an important detail that you can’t miss here. Being Selfish with a capital “S” will increase your vibration and, therefore, what LOA brings to you. On the other hand, being selfish with a lower case “s” will decrease your vibration and de-enhance the energetic vibration LOA uses in your attracting.
Let’s start by talking about the difference between being Selfish and being selfish:

You need to begin by recognizing that your life, your choices and your feelings can come from one of two places within you; they can come from your authenticity or your preconceived self.  By preconceived self I mean that false self or ego self. More specifically I mean that part you that has ideas and beliefs about what should be.
Too many people have a lot of ideas and beliefs that define life and how it ought to work. For example, here in the US people, generally speaking, believe that babies should sleep in cribs by their selves, while in Japan generally speaking, people believe babies should sleep with their parents or grandparents, sharing a bed.
Regardless of where or how you believe babies should sleep, what’s truly important to notice is that the actions we take regarding where we put our baby to sleep can come from our Self, our authenticity, or our self, our preconceived self that is made up of our beliefs. In this example if a mother made her decision from her Self then she would seek out the authentic way to put her baby to sleep. Instead of focusing on her preconceived belief about how society thinks her baby should sleep she would do what was right to her. This means that she would make the choice that fit her present needs and her baby’s. She would make a choice in her Golden Flow ™ such that no matter where the baby slept or who the baby slept with, the mother would feel peaceful, loving and calm, having done the right thing for herself and her joyful baby.
Having made the right choice, she will have activated the energy of her Self. This authentic choice will automatically connect her to her Source Energy, raising her energy and increasing the beneficial things that LOA will now bring into her life.
On the other hand, here in the US a common experience for new mothers happens when she forces herself to leave her child crying in their crib as she closes the door and begins to cry herself, believing that she is doing the right thing by putting the child to sleep alone.  Because she has based her choice on information she has been taught in the past, as opposed to her present experience, her concept of what it means to be a good mother is lowering her energetic vibration, which is causing the pain and the crying for her baby and for herself.

Change your thinking to become more Selfish
What is most important in any situation in life is for you to always feel as though you are doing your best and making choices that are beneficial. The only way to do this is to focus on what you need in the now moment. This means placing your authentic Self first, which your past cannot define. People often confuse this with being self-centered and they think that this would mean indulging their whims without considering others.
However, the truth is that being indulgent and careless is not the same as being authentic. Indulgence and self-centeredness are only present when we are basing our thoughts, feelings and beliefs on our past.  People only act selfishly and self-centered when painful past experiences are making them feel unloved, therefore they are unwilling to share because they are afraid there won’t be enough for them; when their past experience showed them that people are unfriendly so that they assume the person they are meeting now will be the same way, causing them to hold back. Living from the past this way is what causes anyone to miss the now moment and lose their authenticity.
When you are in the flow of your authenticity you are more concerned with what you are experiencing now: what you need, what your loved ones need or what a situation needs.  In your authenticity you are making mature and wise choices.
Coming from the energies of maturity and wisdom can’t help but increase your energetic vibration. Become Selfish, authentic, and the Golden Flow™ of your now moment will connect you to your Source Energy. Your Source Energy is an endless stream of abundance, love and wisdom, and offering this vibration for LOA to attract your life from will create a full and divine life for you.

Today I allow my Source Energy to support me, as I take care of my family.

Today I allow my Source Energy to send me joy, as I laugh with  my daughter.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me health, as I prepare a healthy meal for my husband.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me desires, as I dream about my life.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me energy, as I attract the life of my dreams.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me challenges, as I unravel what gift my challenges hold for me.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me love, as I love my life.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me experiences, as I allow myself to experience them.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me sensations, as I allow my being to sense them.

Today I allow my Source Energy to bring me change, as I become Who I truly am.

“In order to manifest you must be like a child. Children are quite certain that they will manifest their desires. They don’t know lack yet, so they know their desire is coming. Be like a child, know that your desires will come. Shift your energy from a place of not having, to a place of having. Shift your energy from doubting the manifestation of your desires, to a place of absolute certainty.”

The Oracle

One of the most important aspects of life regards our being Who we truly are – this is what puts us in our Source’s Golden Flow and what puts us in our now moment.

Many women I have worked with over the years or encountered in my own life have shared the struggle of being a woman in a man’s world. This has an averse affect upon many of us, making us feel less secure or comfortable being women. That immediately places us out of our now moment and out of our flow. After all, how can we be in that amazing flow of energy coming down from our Source when we don’t feel comfortable being there?

Being Who we are is important. I see the feminine experience changing greatly in the world, women have and continue to reclaim their power as women, and this is a blessing. After all, the ancient yin-yang symbol shows a perfect balance when both the feminine and the masculine flow are present. Our world can come back into balance as femininity and masculinity come back into balance.

For us to achieve balance, as a world or as ourselves, we must be comfortable with who we are. We must find our strengths and our weaknesses, using our strengths and healing our weaknesses.

Women are different than men – we are more connected to mystery, which is why I say we are mystical. We are more connected to the unseen or to Spirit or Source Energy, which is why women tend to be more intuitive. Please don’t misunderstand me, women are neither better than or worse than men. Like I said, both genders in balance create a beautiful flow. What I’m saying is that the yin and yang are different colors. We women are more intuitive, generally speaking – but certainly not always true. Generally speaking we women need to connect with other women, to have girlfriends and to nurture relationships. That is a lot of who we are.

I love the changes I am seeing in the world because I see women recognizing that we have many strengths – just like men have many strengths. The difference is that it is not as easy for us to claim these is a male-oriented world! So, it is a blessing that we are seeing this! It is a blessing when we come together and allow ourselves to be the loving, wise and mystical being that we are. When we do this, magic comes forward as we come back to that place of our Golden Flow(TM) and of our now moment.

A blessing to us all, for opening and allowing ourselves to become Who we truly are… Wise, loving women who know that beauty is about what we are.
