As Earth moves through these shifting times and we accelerate towards the year 2012, our lives are changing in many ways - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It's important that we consciously find ways to clear, energize and raise our vibration so we can align with the new energies heading our way. At the OASIS Center for Conscious Living, our core teachings are found in the acronym used for the word OASIS representing: Oneness Awakening from Stillness, Inspiring … [Read more...]

Curiosity Activates us in the World

Thinking about this topic - how to balance and maintain our energetic vibrations while they continue to rise as we begin to awaken more fully, I thought I would offer the usual remedies, such as meditation, deep breathing, bodywork. These remedies do serve this purpose, but here is something that might not come to mind when we think about balance during this time of great global shifts. Curiosity. Right now, as I write, and for the past several days, I have been holding an intense energy. It … [Read more...]

Nothing is Wrong with You

There are so many questions, and answers, on how to raise your vibration to feel more in-tune with life, trying to heal or manifest something, or just to feel good. It feels like I've tried all the "how to's" during the last 18 years. Right now, I just got back from a wonderful spiritual healing playshop and I can just tell my vibration is higher. How? I feel great. Yet, as with any short term, high-vibrational experience, I know most people can find it difficult to hold onto or bring back … [Read more...]

Sing HU to Tune In to a Higher Spiritual Awareness

sun_follower

Singing HU, an ancient name for God, has been practiced for thousands of years in one form or another for inner attunement. In the same way a musician can use a tuning fork to find the right pitch, the person singing HU tunes in to a higher spiritual awareness. In most spiritual traditions, sound plays a part in uplifting the individual. Religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism have made use of sound in the form of hymns, chants and prayers to help open the heart and go beyond … [Read more...]

Creating our Personal Outcome

With all the hype of 2012, I think that it is important to remember that our beliefs create our reality. What do we want to happen in 2012? How would we really like our reality to play out? The unknown can often be a scary thing. None of us really knows what will happen in the next few years, but we do know that the energy is increasing, like a buzz before a big event but on a much grander scale. Even people who really don't believe anything will happen on Dec. 21, 2012, are probably feeling … [Read more...]

Be the Balance

rocks_stacked

I was watching the latest episode of "Fringe" last night and one of the statements made on the show was something that I totally agree with: "Nature knows only that which is in balance and that which is not in balance." Wow! What an awesome statement about balance and imbalance. The beauty is that nature does not struggle with balance and imbalance. Whatever takes place just is what it is. Yet for us, don't we struggle and try to create, maintain and hold onto our own perception of balance, … [Read more...]

Raise your Love Vibration and Watch your Life Transform

couple_water

If you truly want to raise your vibration, connect with the power of Love. Real Love is not some fluffy concept. It is the essence of spiritual energy. The Star Wars films remind us about spiritual energy with the famous line, "May the Force be with you." That "Force" is the vibration of Love, and it can move mountains, heal bodies and change circumstances. Love is "the truth, the way, and the life." Love is the main tenant of all religious teachings. There is nothing more real or powerful … [Read more...]

Raising Vibrations

couple_winter

The best way to stay in balance as we integrate the higher frequencies that are coming on to the planet during these times is by being in the present moment as much as we can. This can be a daunting task, but by being conscious of the desire to stay in the moment you can create an internal awareness that will help you move back into the present moment when you begin to drift out of it. Another key element that assists in integrating the higher frequencies is by spending time in nature. This … [Read more...]
