Divine Parenting

Archive for the ‘What’s New’ Category

Today is the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, and with the energy of this day, I was guided to write a post which I have ultimately placed on the Parenting the Planet website. Please visit to receive the message.

The Divine Parenting initiative is having me focus on products and businesses that meet the needs of all — the person, the family, the community, the planet. To that end, we have found a company that we are very proud to align with – the miONEgroup based in Australia.

Not only are the products so natural one could eat them, but they are transported in eco-friendly packaging, and the company is focused on neutralizing their carbon emissions by planting trees, etc. More information can be found by visiting our own website by clicking HERE.

The product line is phenomenal — I couldn’t find anything like it in my own natural/health food store — and there is a huge opportunity for those people wanting a way to ethically provide an income for themselves and/or their families.

March is a special month, and one can join the program for only $7.00.  Please click on the banner below to find out more…

In the Silence, there is a stillness.  The vibrations in the air are different — softer, somehow.  No sound reverberating through my energy body.  No sound in my physical presence.  No sound in my external environment.  No sound in my mind.  Silence.  I need Silence.

When I first had my daughter ever-so-many-moons ago, we could not live in the place where she was conceived, as they did not allow children.  So, we went looking for child-friendly accommodation, and the only reasonable accommodation we could find was a 2-bedroom apartment situated near the downtown of a big city, 1/2 block away from an ambulance station.  We had no idea how this would affect our lives.  Ambulance sirens whirred away at all hours of the day and night, and we just got used to it.  My baby slept right through anything.  I was quite amazed.

Then, after two years, we moved into our own house.  This house was on the very outskirts of the city — I mean, VERY outskirts.  We were the very last house at the city limits, backing onto a farmer’s field, that then led to an army airstrip.  When it was silent, which was really often, it was deafening.  I finally understood that term – silence can be deafening.  I actually had something happen to my ears when there was virtually no sound at all — not the wind, not a car, not a dog barking, no aircraft flying over — nothing.  Nothing.

I think it took us longer to adjust to the silence than it did to the ear-piercing noises we had before.  How strange, I thought.  How very strange.  And yet, after that, wherever I moved, I noticed sound so much more.  I noticed how I closed the windows more wherever I was in order to get away from it.  I noticed how MUCH sound there was — and the noise pollution that was all around.  Whether it was the quiet hum of an appliance, or a roaring thunderstorm — both seemed to affect me no matter what.

In the current busyness of my home life, with so many of us together, it’s hard to meet my need for Silence.  Even if I go to my bedroom for the evening — to read or whatnot — I can’t seem to escape the noises of a busy household.  And I realize that periodically, it is so very important that we have it.  So very important.

Sit in silence, if it’s available to you, and you’ll ‘get’ what I mean.

Piggybacking on the Need of/for Time, I am now working with the energy of the Need for Space.  This need was gifted to me during a point in my life when I was taking back my time, but kept getting interrupted.  Or, I would have my time, but there would be so much stuff going on around me, I felt I couldn’t think.  If I can’t think, I can’t write.  If I can’t think, I can’t plan.  If I can’t think, I can’t progress.  At least, in my Relationship with my Mind, I believe that to be true.

So, even though I took back my time, I didn’t have the space to make the things happen that I wanted to in my life.

When I’m in the kitchen, I need the space to bring to Completion what I started.  In general, I need the Space to get things done.  I need the physical Space between other beings and myself in order to feel Sanctuary.  I need the mental Space to keep myself focused on a project.  I need the emotional Space to process anything moving through me.  I need the spiritual Space to connect to source and the higher part of myself.  I need Space.

Since all the needs tie in with one another, I don’t think you’ll be surprised by the next ones coming up.

Find your space.  Maybe that’s a little room in your house that no one else uses; maybe it’s a spot out in nature that feels really wonderful; maybe it’s an office that you can close the door to.  Find your space.  It’s really, really important that you do.

As usual, this need kind of snuck up on me.  There I was, busy as a bee, doing-doing-doing all day long, not realizing the ‘what’ in the doing.  I realized that some things seemed never-ending, such as keeping up with the maintenance of the household when there are two beings we caregive, and three other adults in the house.  What I didn’t realize was — nothing was coming to Completion.

My household duties were never complete, my babysitting duties seemed never-ending, and nothing was ever in it’s place.  None of my projects were moving forward, action steps taken were not addressed by the other side, and I felt things spinning out of control.

When I sat in the energy of this (after a good cry, of course!) I realized — I need Completion!  I need to see an end to each and every action that I’m taking, and an ending to everything I start.  I need to see others completing as well – a type of accountability for their initial actions.  I also need to stop completing things for others — which has been causing a drain in my energy.

I didn’t realize, until that moment, that I needed to see the crumbs cleaned off the counter when someone in the house decided to make a sandwich without a plate.  I needed to see a dish moved from being used, to being cleaned, to being put back in it’s place.  I didn’t realize, until just then, how many times per day I needed, and still need, Completion!!

I questioned this need because of the relationship factor.  Did I need to see an ending to my relationship?  The intuitive response was – no.  What I need to see is a confirmation of the continuation of the relationship, and THAT brings Completion!  Each time my relationship status is confirmed, I feel a sense of Completion.  With Completion comes relief.  With relief, comes a respite from stress.  And all of this leads to a healthier existence.

Completion.  Who da thunk? 

Time

As I started with the energy of Sanctuary, I found myself getting busier and busier in my own life.   Being a full-time caregiver for my beautiful 11-month-old granddaughter, plus being a relief caregiver for a man my partner cares for (who lives with us), plus all the household duties I have chosen to take on, and spending my ‘spare time’ working on my own projects — all of this has been leaving me with a sense of having no time for myself.

This is perfect, because as I ‘live’ the needs, my consciousness is now focusing on my own overwhelm, which takes me out of the feeling of Sanctuary. Right now, I need Time.

I need time to focus on myself. I need time to spend in nature. I need time to spend with my beloved partner. I need time away from everything and every request. I need time to have my own needs met, even when all around me may be seemingly needing me.  I need Time.

What I haven’t realized until this very second is…my time BELONGS to ME.  I decide how it is used and no one can take it away from me.  I can only give it to others with my permission, and that is my choice.

When I am feeling the lack of Time so strongly, I feel overwhelmed, worn out, like I’m spinning my wheels, and that life is out-of-control and a somewhat meaningless. When I focus on what I need, when I take back my Time, I feel more in Sanctuary. I feel like my body can relax, like I can rest on all levels, that I can release my mind from the thoughts of what needs to be done and just on what I need right now. When that happens, I feel like I am in a self-loving state, which leaves me less resentful and more grateful for all that I have, and all that I ‘get’ to experience.

This state of gratefulness brings me peace firstly and joy secondly.

I need Time.

When the Need of Sanctuary was coming through, it came it little bits at a time. It’s still coming, actually. Because of it’s enormity of scope, I will have to re-assess how I am to deliver the needs. It’s a great learning process.

The Need of/for Sanctuary is, I am told, an ‘umbrella’ need that encompasses a lot of other needs. It is about Safety and Security, indeed, and it is also about Protection. But, is it about fear? And what about the Law of Attraction? If I focus on that which I need for Sanctuary, and the feelings that arise when I’m not in a place of Sanctuary, will I be attracting that which is non-peaceful and dangerous to me?

Absolutely not. That is the message I am getting.

Whenever I focus on a need, I only need to focus on the need, and not on any fear.

If I have a fear of being hurt — let’s say, get into a car accident more specifically — then I could indeed manifest that if I look at the ‘hurt’ side, the “accident” side, etc. If I focus on the need of staying well, and focus on how I can do that in every moment of every experience in my life, that is how I can affect change — for myself, for others, and for the world.

I will be taking a look at a lot of the ways a person MAY be affected in the opposite way. I will look at how the needs within Sanctuary come forward — ie the need to Trust, the need for Peace, etc.

Since the Divine Parenting concept is multi-faceted, and the core essence is around meeting our needs (the children and inner child needs), the needs of others, and the needs of the planet, we begin the movement into the initiative with the ‘foundational’ level, which is…

Self-love and self-care

I have created an external website to focus on this foundational element.  It can be accessed via the link area on this website, or by clicking here.  My guidance has me providing a personal perspective, on an ongoing basis; a resource and information area (from a 3-D perspective); and, a high-vibrational perspective, which can include too many things to mention. 

I hope you take some time to spend with this energy.

Blessings on your journey,

Sue
