Before I begin with this month’s article I would like to say thank you to WHG for asking me to be a new monthly columnist – I am delighted to be here! When I re-awakened to my spiritual path back in 2007 (after near ten years training and working as a Biochemist – the distinct polar to my path now!), I found the WHG to be a great resource for aiding my journey. To be asked to write an ‘Inner Eye View’ of my ascension work each month will allow me to give a little back to help others achieve their spiritual connection.

This is the aim for all the work I do – to empower individuals allowing them to see the truth of their divinity and then, to help them ascend on their spiritual path. I can’t really call it ‘work’; it’s more a passion aided and guided by the Divine.

Each month I will be discussing different topics based around ascension, spirituality and healing; the whole kit and caboodle really! I often channel when presenting my workshops or in my other writings so you may from time-to-time meet here energies from the different realms of creation. These light beings could range from angels to avatars, ETs to elementals, or devas to deities – who ever shouts the loudest is the norm for who you will meet!

As my work concerns the ascension of mankind and the planet, it is my hope to bring you every month information, guidance or support that can best serve you in your life now, as well as to discuss any topics that are affecting the planet. Often you will hear me talk about ‘unity consciousness’ which is when events that are occurring in your life are also at the same time occurring in those around you, and globally. The concept of unity consciousness is beginning to be known and felt within people as they awake and embrace their spiritual path. We are afterall all part of each other and as such, as we lift our thoughts and energy to a more positive vibration so in turn are we helping those around us to do the same. This is the key to our ascension and to experiencing true happiness.

This leads me nicely on to this month’s topic – shifting perception. If I said to you, “do you believe that where you are in your life right now emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually, as well as everything you see around you now, is a product of your own thoughts would you believe me?” Perhaps some of you would; or live by this already. For those of you who are a little sceptical let me explain...

Thoughts, like every other thing in and around you, are energy. Once you have a thought you create an energy, and it is this energy that will then form your reality that you experience. When you start out on your spiritual path, and continue on it, you learn to be a conscious creator; to understand that each thought you have works to create ‘your now’ and ‘your future’. You soon see that you can create and make manifest your dreams, goals and life purpose to full physical fruition. You also learn that if you think negativity (e.g., have a destructive thought about yourself) then you in turn ‘feel’ negative from having that thought and invariable feel a little blue for the rest of the day. Likewise, if you think positively (e.g., when you praise yourself) then you will ‘feel’ positive from that thought and invariably feel happy for the rest of the day. Sounds easy doesn’t it? Think positive = become positive, and think negative = become negative. The truth is it is simple! Yet as humans we tend to confuse matters by over-analysing this paradigm or we engage our ‘best-friend’ on our spiritual path: our ego!

I recently read somewhere that our mind is like a garden and that our thoughts are the seeds that we plant within. I liked the simplicity of this analogy. If we choose to become conscious creators then we can manifest a beautiful, abundant garden through positive thoughts, and if any weeds pop up (through negative thinking), or we allow others to impress upon our garden, we can swiftly remove them to restore peace once more.

When we appreciate that how we think shapes our reality we move from the conditionings of negativity or victimhood that we have placed upon ourselves to set in motion the right thoughts to manifest in to form the life we have always wished for. We start to work by the Law of Attraction –  a universal, spiritual law that defines ‘like attracts like’ – and thus can set the intentions of what we desire, think positively about achieving them and allow them to come in to our reality. We become true conscious creators!

With the recent shifts in the earth’s electromagnetic energy field a new lighter energy now surrounds our planet. This means that the thoughts we have do not have to travel through the thick, dense energy that once was. Where in years past it took up to sixth months for our thoughts to become our experience, it now only takes minutes! If this is the case, I hear you say, then why are we not living within the harmonious 7th Golden Age as predicted; where everyone’s true nature is love, oneness and conscious creation? Sadly we are just not there yet but the future is bright! I am assured! More and more people are ‘waking’ up to themselves and to the idea that they are spiritual beings.

In my healing work, I regularly hear from my clients (and fellow light-workers) about how unhappy they are with their lives. I often discuss with them about how powerful their thoughts are and how they can, if they allow and are ready, create a new, happier reality from them. Even the spiritual adept out there often forget this simple truth and can fall in self-doubt or ego conditionings. This is when we allow our minds to get out of control slowly becoming our enemy instead of the creating, loving gift the Divine intended it to be. But we all have free will within us, and as such the power to make our inner world work for us, or work against us. The universe does not place judgement on what is deemed a ‘positive’ or a ‘negative’ thought rather it only responds to the intention behind it. Thus we have to be careful what we wish for and regularly ‘check-in’ on the way we perceive ourselves.

Check-in now with yourself. Have a think about the way you think! Do your thoughts carry a loving, positive intention for yourself and those around you? Or do they feel more judgemental or negative?

Mental ‘checking-in’ is good habit to get it in to and allows us to be mindful about our mind. If you feel that your thoughts carry a lower-vibration – if they are destructive, negative, or judgemental – try counteracting them with a positive statement. Often our ego-mind can hold us in a state in fear or restraint from fulfilling our happiness and embracing our alignment with our divinity. Reassure the ego aspect of you that it is safe to be happy, that it is safe to receive and that it is safe to recognise yourself as a Divine creative being.

When we have negative thoughts we fall out of alignment with the truth of our soul and our mission here on Earth. We stop our progression and often allow fear (which is a man-made concept!) to hold us where we stand. Instead become a master of your mind!

I will often say to my clients and colleagues that your “inner environment reflects your outer” so if you wish to change the things you look at, you must first change the way you look at them. For instance, if your goal was to lose weight it would be beneficial to first change the way you view your body. If you constantly put yourself down in your thoughts you will find it more difficult to shift your perception to a place that attracts the body you desire. To help yourself, change the way you look at yourself. Appreciate your body for what it is: unique, supportive, intelligent and beautiful. Allow yourself to ‘feel good’ on the inside to ‘feel good’ on the outside.

Likewise, if your desire was to manifest more prosperity focusing on the lack of money will never draw in the abundance you seek. Instead change the way you see money. Remember it is but mere paper afterall! See money not coming from a physical bank but the universal depositary – the Divine! Allow yourself to receive more money by working with the universe. Send out your intentions and positive thoughts of receiving the abundance you desire. Anticipate it; get excited that more prosperity is coming to you. Feel good about receiving on the inside so you can fully receive on the outside.

Recognise your thoughts and change them when they don’t feel good – decide to be a conscious creator from this point on! Try shifting your perception to allow the things you wish to attract in to your life to come. Know that your thoughts are SO powerful! You are a divine creator and as you shift your inner world, you outer will do so too. But most of all, remember you are an extension of the Divine; a spiritual being whose true nature is peace, love, happiness, contentment, creation, positivity and hope. If you feel this in your mind and being so you will ‘be’ this always…

In love and support always, Calista x
