Wisdom of the Root Chakra

The idea came to me to do a series of Mediations on the Chakra System. The idea is, I connect into the energy center and share a guided meditation surround the alignment of that particular chakra. The first one was Monday May 1st and we started with the Root Chakra. Below is the recording of the live mediation and what is written below is what my personal and vulnerable reflection of the experience I had with my Root Chakra.

To be honest, I never give the Root Chakra much attention. I rather spend my time “out there” than “in here” with my body.  Dissociation has been my coping mechanism for years. I never really understood “grounding” either.  I thought that grounding was for folks who liked being here on earth, which, for so long I was bind to see its beauty.

Through my healing journey I’ve come to realize many facets of my limiting beliefs. I don’t want to relive or rehearse past wounds but I got my fill as a child, as we all do.  What I have come to understand is that we don’t need to tie our identity to how we were treated in our physical life by culture, society, and individuals.  Realizing those wounds and how we molded ourselves to accommodate for them and its impact on our physical body is the real eye opener.  With this awareness we can then heal the wounds and create a new experience. 

We have all had such colorful lives here in this physical existence. We have one foot here on earth (limited) and the other in the spirit world (limitless). We are spirit people having a human experience.  We have physical bodies. Our spirit is limitless but our bodies are not.  Bodies have limitations.  I am here for a limited amount of time with this physical body, that will die.  My spirit is infinite and will surpass physical death. Because of this, I’ve given my spirit more gold stars than my physical body.  

With this meditation, we are paying more attention to the physical body with the root chakra.  This is a practice for me.  It teaches me to embrace my physicality and be in my body.  Build a relationship with it.  No more power struggles with my body but rather be in alignment with this “instrument of the divine” as Dr. Joe Dispenza calls it.

When I soak that in, it blows my mind that our bodies are the physical manifestation of divine creation!  A Divine idea was collapsed into matter, hence creating earth and creating all the earthy things… like physical bodies… which are vehicles for our spirit from SPIRIT.  Mind blown! 

Our spirit is part of the greater whole, our bodies are empowered by this intelligence, our root chakra has an intelligence.  It would make sense that when we can let go of the beliefs that no longer serve us, move into alignment with our physical bodies and it’s natural intelligence of what it’s inspired to create; the universe is here to give you EVERYTHING you need to bring those creations to life in this physical way.  YOU have the right to receive all that you desire to prosper, thrive, and experience the greatness that is life (its limitless).  

Connecting to your Root Chakra you will realize you are more than worthy of abundance, belonging, and physical life sustaining resources such as food, water, and shelter.  That not only are you worthy of this, it’s your duty to receive them so we can live in alignment with a creation that is rooted in abundant love.

Self Inquiry: 

• What if this life is to realize how empowered creators we truly are?  

• What is your body needing from you at this moment? 

• What is it asking for? 

• How might you care for those needs from a space of compassion,  love, and gratitude for this divine miracle that you call your body?

• What would it be like to sense into the magic of your physical body? 

• What new perspectives would you have with it?  What old habits no longer fit with this perspective? 

• What new habits do you practice because of this perspective?  
  

To celebrating the divine creation that we are,

GOOD NEWS: You are NOT your thoughts

Yes. We are not our thoughts.  We are the awareness of them.  When I came across this realization it was a game changer.  All those decades believing every thought became crippling, and I didn’t even know it because I was so immersed in the story of my thoughts!  I couldn’t see outside of my own thoughts. But now that I can, I have to tell you that on the other side of thought is a WORLD of love, possibility, purpose, and healing. 

We can’t stop the thoughts from visiting us.  All the colors of thoughts are shared and recycled thoughts, not only shared with you but EVERYONE else!  We all get a turn witnessing those weird, crazy, and unhelpful thoughts.  

What if we were no longer hijacked by the crippling thoughts that we are believing?  I’ll tell you how I got off of the dilapidated circus ferris wheel of looping self sabotaging thoughts that leads to self sabotaging action.   

Meditation. 

Meditation helps us cultivate the sacred pause between thought and awareness.  We can’t stop the thoughts from visiting our conscious mind but we can begin to realize the aspect of ourselves that is the awareness of everything, including thoughts.  

Take a moment and imagine thoughts as an guest coming in through your open door.  Imagine that you are sitting calmly at your sofa with a cup of tea in your hand and see this visitor come in your home and sit next to you on the sofa.  You begin to notice your visitors presence, their energy, how they make you feel, WOW they are powerful, you ask if they would like some tea (because you have nothing but love for everything including visitors).  You stay in the presence of this visitor viewing them through eyes of love until eventually they decide to go.  

What if because you’ve seen the visitor through eyes of love, the visitor now exits your door in a more uplifted state.  Ready to visit the next home with a more uplifting presence?  What if?

Just because they visited you doesn’t mean that they now live in your home and can start claiming space there.  Eventually they will naturally leave and another visitor will come, you’ll sit with them and see them through your loving eyes until they leave which they always do.  

If you’ve been holding those unhelpful visitors captive, now is the time to let them go.  

You are not your thoughts. You are the loving awareness. The loving home that welcomes all and infuses it with love.

Namaste,

Becky

Relief from Releasing

I love having the invitation to simply allow for all the mind chatter, the unhelpful belief systems, worries, and fear to simply be put on pause. When I do that I allow for myself to experience what it’s like to be less bombarded with the illusion that I send a lot my waking hours within. Escaping the illusion and claiming the loving reality of my soul. Emerging from the meditation I feel more alive and less zombie. More room to continue to let go of the past and walk in the present while claiming my future.

I invite you to do the same. This is the mediation we shared this morning. It’s from my heart to yours. Enjoy being in the experience of the spaciousness and claiming a more uplifting existence one breath at a time.

Namaste

Meditation Benefits: A Journey with Meditation

When I started Meditating:

I remember when I first started meditating I felt like I wanted to burst out of my skin, I couldn't stand it. My mind would have a screaming tantrum and my body felt like a pressure cooker about to burst. To be alone with my thoughts was not a place I ever wanted to be. I never realized that those thoughts would be there regardless and my habitual thinking was like a dilapidated ferris wheel looping me back into the same distractive behaviors over and over without me ever realizing it.

In 2016 I realized I could get off of this ferris wheel and claim my life, occupy my heart and mental real-estate. My determination to change my life over powered my mental/physical resistance. Meditation became part of my self care plan and has changed my life for the better.

What I learned:

• Meditation is like a muscle that gets stronger as you go.

• The goal with meditation is not to have “NO thought” but rather bring your awareness to the aspect of you that is aware of the thoughts and to detach from them.

• We are not our thoughts we are the observer of them.

• Meditation creates space between thought and action.

• With a meditation practice, we become less “hijacked” by thought and more available to choose heartfelt action.

  • It’s been helpful with my response to my children, husband, and other relationships. In addition to that, I’ve become more in touch with my loving inner guidance system and more productive, because I am not giving (as much) weight to my procrastinating thoughts.  

What Changed Within Me:

Having meditation as a component to my self care plan I began to shed the old and reveal my truth. My life became simpler, I let go of old patterns, cultivated a bond between myself and my inner guidance system. From 2017-2018 my life took a new direction towards a path that I would have never imagined. I left my corporate life for a career as a Medium and Intuitive Healer.

Meditation Benefits:

In October 2020 I became a Certified Add Heart Facilitator from the Heart Math Institute. Add Heart is science based meditative technique developed by the Heart Math Institute. The evidence-based technique builds the relationship between the heart and brain. It’s used by organizations around the world, such as Fortune 500 companies, Schools, Hospitals, Professional athletes in the NFL, NBA, professional golfers and olympians, and Navy Seals.

The Add Heart technique is used to help with:

• Better performance

• Reduce anxiety

• Regulate our emotions

• Move out of the stress and strain of everyday life so we can have a more positive outlook on life

• Connect with others in a more meaningful way

• Direct benefits with our physical health include;

  • Immune system

  • Hormonal response

  • Health of our heart

  • Nervous system  

At the Present Moment:

I know that my personal development fuels my availability to be a Medium and Intuitive Healer, Mother, Wife, Daughter, and community member. I continue on my lifelong journey towards self discovery and healing. I have a daily self care plan which includes a meditation practice. Since September 2019 I have been leading weekly meditations with our live Monday Morning Meditation Group. Meditation has been a blessing for me and it gives me great joy to share it with you and others. During these complex times I feel it’s important to take care of ourselves and I extend the invitation to you to join our live weekly meditation group, where you meditate and breathe in unison with others in real time from the comfort of your own home. To learn more about the group click HERE. All of the meditations I’ve shared have been recorded and now trickling in, on my YouTube Channel.

7 steps towards Receiving Love

Receiving love to me is the ability to be available to soak in the essence of the authentic message that is being given and a barometer of how much we experience our own loving heart. Receiving love takes many parts of ourselves to be open and available. In my own journey towards receiving I have learned a few things along the way. Below are 7 steps that I have come to realize about myself and about the practice towards becoming available to the loving universe and loving myself. In my opinion, the loving universe’s job isn’t to make life easy and doesn’t keep us from hardship, grief, and struggle, but it does make us feel supported, connected and loved when we move through all the colors life shares with us, making suffering optional. There are many benefits that come with saying “yes” towards receiving love. You realize the universe is not against you, you realize that you are included in the loving embrace of the divine and begin to see it, trust it and know it within and all around you. When you harness and harmonize the love within yourself and the universe, just imagine what is possible and what beautiful gifts you can share with the world. Below are 7 steps that got me closer to my resonance of love and healing. So take a deep breath, grab your journal if you'd like, and begin.

1. Willingness. Willingness to receive the love that is being offered to you. Do you really want to receive loving offerings from others and the universe? Or do you want to stay in the victim role of suffering? Why would anyone want to stay in the victim role of suffering?  Well, it might be the known, feeling comfort in the discomfort, you simply don’t know another way. You find some value in suffering. You might have a belief that if you suffer then others won’t. Or when you suffer others will be better off. Or when you suffer it justifies a past trauma and allows for you to stay in victumhood until you’ve had enough. Thinking its unsafe to experience being loved. Which after time takes you farther and farther away from you knowing and understanding your wholeness. Wondering why you feel lonely, empty, depleted, and can’t receive happiness, compassion and love. If this is you, you’re not alone. I've been here too. Now let’s move forward and have a willingness to stop feeding this wound. A willingness to let go of the victimhood and sep into what is unknown. 

2. Readiness. Once we had enough of living as a victim then you can move into the decision that you are ready to experience love from ourselves, others and the universe. Ready to break free from that old way of perceiving your life and realize a new loving reality. Note: Once you say “YES” to this readiness, the universe will support you, watch it show up!

3. Understanding how you hold yourself back. Understand what your limiting beliefs are and how they sound in your head and make you feeling in your body and the actions you take because of them. Then becoming aware of your limiting beliefs and when they show up. Don’t know what your limiting beliefs are? Heres a quick tip to discover: What habits/actions/behaviors do you take on that you know are no longer serving your highest good? Take a moment and sit with it, observe what emotions, feelings, and other actions are associated with it and how this belief impacts others and your life.

4. Commitment, Awareness and Letting Go. The commitment to becoming aware and letting go of your limiting beliefs (old self) filter so you can see what is being given without clouding it with what is not true (limiting beliefs). Releasing the old to make space for the new. Being aware of the growth opportunities that come your way to build upon this and take action. 

5. Knowing and Trusting. The universe wants you to receive the infinite love that’s available to you. You now have a knowing and trust this is the case and now see your life with fresh eyes.

6. Available for Love. You then open yourself up and become available to the love that is being offered, knowing you are included in being loved. In the awareness of believing and knowing you have a pure essence of love inside you, you are lovable and loved, what thoughts will go though your head?  What feelings would flood your body? What actions would you be taking?

7. Receive. Open your heart, your hands, and eyes to all the love that’s within and surrounding you. Courageously give this New You legs and walk in your divine truth and all the loving possibilities that await you. Becoming grateful for the love thats showing up for you and gratitude for your ability to receive.

Go ahead and give this practice an honest go! You may find yourself moving through the steps in a not so sequential order, and thats okay! Feel free to share your experience with me. I’d love to support you in any way I can.  May we all experience love, self-worth and wholeness.

Blessings,

Becky 

The Other Side of my Shadow

Last night I felt that moment when I'm grieving over a loved one and all my shadows begin to bubble up to the surface. I felt a river of a melting pot of emotions that force their exit through the cracks in my armor. It’s as if me and my loved one share the same shadows and I'm being called to release them whether I'm ready or not.

These shadows are dark and have been locked up for decades and finally working their way up and out. To get through this “cleansing period” it was helpful to cry, meditate, follow my intuition, talk, pray, write, and not hitch a ride with the shadow for too long but long enough to hear and gain the wisdom behind it. Side note: I give credit to my therapist (Marnina Reed) for having the ability to separate myself from my shadow and step off the shadow's roller coster.

Here is that nights wisdom from the other side of my shadow.

• Do what feels right vs what feels good (Thank you Brene Brown)

• Trust in my life experience, trust that I was brought here and it's my duty to play this life thing out, trust.

This morning, I referred to the book “Man’s Search for Meaning” by Viktor E. Frankel, which confirmed my shadows lessons. I opened up the book where I left off and read exactly what I needed to hear (Thank you Universe!). The essence of what I read was this: it doesn’t matter what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us. Take a few breaths to let this quote sink in. When I read this and contemplated what responsibility I have in this existence to humanity and unfinished work, moving forward has a different feel. It’s thinking and action beyond the ego. It got me out of my perceived temporary paralyzing suffering.

Here is the call to action: Listen to what the universe expects from you, you are one of a kind, there will never be another one of you. Who YOU are IS important. The care and love you’re being asked to give to humanity and the unfinished work you have ahead of you can only be done by you, own that responsibility by taking action.

What is life expecting of you?

What does life look and feel like as you envision yourself narrowing in on this?

What actions will you take today as you show up for this responsibility?

Word of the Day

Messages from the spirit world come in all different ways.  Here was mine from today and I’m being elbowed to share with you all.   Word of the day 6/11/19 according to dictionary.com!

“esprit de l’escalier” 

(french word literally translates to: spirit of the staircase)

During a session last week I was told by a client’s Dad in spirit that I need to expand my “inner library” so much so that I was nudged to add the “notifications” feature from my Dictonary.com app on my phone (gotta love spirit people).  So I did so yesterday!  Then, today I see this word pop up on my phone!  I was shocked to see this word.  I knew it was my Dad giving me a message.  For those who have known me for a long time understand why this would blow my mind, for those who didn’t know me since before I was married, here is why:  “esprit” is French for Spirit.  As you all know I love spirit people and love mediumship.  “Escalier” was my maiden name! Actually spelled “Escallier”.   My Dad, Stanley Paul Escallier, passed about almost three years ago. While he was here he was an alcoholic, destructive, and not someone I was able to be around.  As a daughter of an alcoholic I always wanted to be loved by him but never felt it when he as alive.  Now that he’s in the spirit world we have been mending our relationship and he’s been showing up for me in big ways, this is one of them.  I never really understood the significance of my maiden name Escallier, but today I do.

As I saw this notification I looked into the definition right way.  Here is the definition from Dictionary.com 

Noun: a perfect comeback or witty remark that one frustratingly comes up with only when the moment for doing so has passed.  

Origin: From French philosopher and encyclopedist Denis Diderot stating from one of his essays “a sensitive man like me, entirely overcome by the objection made against him, loses his head and can only recover his wits at the bottom of the staircase, that is, after he has left the gathering.”

As a message from spirit, the beautiful magic is that we can all take pieces. How I interpret this message is that my Dad was only able to see, think, and feel clearly after his passing and now is able to fully speak his truth.  I love that mediumship and our availability to spirit offers our loved ones on the other side to express themselves to their loved ones here.  We all understand what it’s like to know what the best thing to say would be after the fact, with mediumship our loved ones on the other side can.  For all of us that are still here in this “gathering” we can learn from the spirit world that its important to show up as clean and clear as possible so we can express our true selves the best way we know how. What is holding you back from living your best life, showing up in your truth, and most importantly, expressing the love and gratitude you have for others?  This message is a call to action.  Let’s not wait until “after the fact”.  Let’s all get brave and share our voice with those we love (within and all around). Much love to you all.

Surrender

I have been going through some heavy and complex life circumstances.  We all are from time to time, we wouldn’t be human without them.  After years of struggle with a particular relationship and related situation, it finally brought me to my knees on 4/6/19.  Here is the wisdom that came to me after spending time reflecting alone at the ocean.  

I feel like I’ve been chasing a balloon that got away from me. I’m jumping, sprinting, and screaming for it to be in my grasp but it keeps blowing farther away.  I keep exhausting myself trying to get it back in my hands so I know it’s safe, thinking that the more I try the closer it will become, but the more I try the more I deplete myself.  When is it time to stop chasing? When is it time that I stop and watch the balloon fly away? Surrendering to the fact that I am powerless over this situation.  

I decided to stop and watch the balloon leave me.  Tears flooding my eyes and acceptance flooding my heart.  Allowing for reality to set in and for the universe to take over.

What happened next as I left the sea air, is the feeling of no longer fighting with what is.  I stopped controlling.  My energy and attention dove inward, into what I was in control of, myself.  Immediately afterwards a complex conversation started by the person who triggers me the most. I listened without being hijacked and new realizations filled my consciousness.  I came to realize that once I decided to accept, it unlocked a door that has never been opened.  This door to wisdom, connection, unconditional love, and my voice. Speaking and listening without attachment but with full conscious awareness of what was going on in my inner world.  The universe was showing up for me and finally able to heal wounds that were marinated in venomous energy for decades.  I am being healed what I thought was un-healable.  I am able to have a new relationship where I can show up with more awareness and acceptance.  As I said good-bye to my beloved balloon, a new chapter filled with continued healing and growth can now begin.

Half Moon

We have all experienced love and beauty but also grief and deep sense of sorrow. Just life the half moon is half light and half dark. We’ve all been there. Just like the half moon we see just half of ourselves, the other half is our spirit self. Just life grief of losing a loved one we see half of the story but there’s another side to that story that makes it whole, a side that we can only hope and trust that’s there because we can’t see it. But through mediumship we can get glimpses into that unseen story. Just like the moon our loved ones we lost are in the new moon phase, we can’t see them but we know they are there. Lastly, just like the moon, we are all powerful, your love and you being you make waves.

~Rebecca Hesseltine

New Moon Intention Prayer

Oh Loving Universe…

Allow for us to see within ourselves and shed what no longer serves.

Allow for us to feel vulnerable and be safe standing exposed without our armor of lack and suffering. 

Allow for us to realize who we truly are.

Allow us to connect with this love within and all around.

Allow for us to hear, trust and follow our inner guidance and take ACTION.

Allow for our own existence to be love in ACTION spreading its truth and courage. 

And so it is. 

 ~Rebecca Hesseltine

New Moon Energetics

Below is what the new moon energy is telling me Oct. 7th 2018:

This new moon is asking us to be the low tied.  

Exposed, vulnerable, courageous, and brave.  

Allow our pure true self to be shown.  Do you know who that is? 

This is a call to get intentional with the truth of who you are.  What is in your heart?  Speak it. 

This is a call to action.

Collective conscious needs not be passive.  

Be lovingly bold and straightforward.

Confidence is necessary.

Confidence is trusting yourself and the universe.  

It’s time to build this relationship, heal it and sing the essence of this truth.  

This love, let it radiate out and be a beacon of strength and courage for others to do the same. When love is connected with, nothing else exists.  Take a good look at your life, where are things not lining up with love?  Gently ask, why are these things here in the first place?  

Make a commitment to shed what no longer serves.   This light can then breath stronger and be seen and felt by you and others.  

Cleanse, shed, expose, dive deep within, build that relationship with yourself, share and be seen. Its time, you are safe, you have support, allow yourself to receive and be held by the love that is waiting for you. It’s always there, watching and waiting. It’s you who can make the decision to connect within and be held.  Receive. 

As we let go of layers and shed our leaves we become exposed and feel the cold air around us.  We now go deep within and connect with the heat, the infinite light that is stored in our inner chambers.  The chambers we keep hidden from others and ourselves.  We are being directed to unlock these chambers and answer it’s calling.  

What if we allowed the love within those chambers to be completely expressed? What if we let go of what’s in our way?  

Who are we then? 

Who are we without these badges of suffering?  

Let it go.

We are surrounded by loving energy that’s ready to strip us of shame, victimhood, guilt, and self-sabotage. 

What would it look and feel like to let it go?

Feel it?

Release it.

Answer this call.  

You will then be the vibrational match to the truth of love.

Let us raise this collective conscious.  

Let us rise together as one powerful beam of light

Let this light magnify others light to be lifted up to the surface 

Let yourself shine.

You are strong.

You are courageous.

You are held. 

 ~Rebecca Hesseltine

New Moon Intention Blessing

Universe, we ask to let the energy in which we create our goals and intentions be the energy of our highest good and highest love for ourselves.  

Let these intentions come into our consciousness from the deep desires of our hearts.  Let these intentions be embraced by the universe and let our intentions be a blessing to ourselves and to others.  

Allow us to let go and release them.  Help us feel held by the universes divine love as we surrender to the outcome and peacefully act on your loving guidance as our hearts desires manifest into our existence.  

And so it is.  

For this we give our loving gratitude.  

 ~Rebecca Hesseltine

Fall Full Moon Reflection

Notice what’s happening around you and within you.  The leaves are falling, the temperature is getting colder, the air is crisper, and the moon is fuller and closer.  

What is happening within? 

My emotions are louder, my skin is thirstier, my inner guidance is there within but I feel so swept up and displaced.  I’m that leaf that has changed color and is falling.  I don’t recognize my self anymore, not my color, not my shape, or where I am in space or time.  

I am now going back to the earth to bring me back.  I decay, I can smell it, I allow the union for me and the universe to be one.  I feel my complete wholeness, as I am part of these elements and going back to where I came from. 

The moon shines on me from the rays of light reflected from the sun; I’m protected from the suns intensity but in awe of its power.  The moons energy is vibrating my body, marinating my cells and pulling out all that no longer serves me.  I am now able to surrender and let go.  I have allowed.  

I see my skeleton of a leaf on the earth; I see my veins, the same design within my human body.  My body, that allows for me to walk in this experience.  I walk with open arms, receiving, inviting love just as the moon receives the light of the sun and can gently shine that on earth during the night when we are most quiet and most vulnerable.  

I am that light.  I am that love.  That love which shins on those who are in their darkness when all you notice is yourself and feel alone. Know your heart is beating in unison with the pulse of the earth; your internal energy is lifting and becomes expansive and all surrounding.  

Your light, your love never dies, there is no death, only rebirth.  Your elements go back to the universe. You are one with the universe; feel it’s collective pulse.  You can experience this rebirth at anytime.  

Look at the full moon and feel how that energy is working with you.  Allow and let go to what you feel in your body.  Allow your mind to surrender.  

What is the moons energy communicating to you?  

You are part of this universe allow your body mind and spirit to flow with it.  Ride the ebbs and flows, seasons, and rhythms.  Let go and experience its magic, let go and experience your own magic.  

~Rebecca Hesseltine
