Weekly Bulletin and June Empowerment Circle!
Good Morning!
Wow! This month is flying by! I hope to share a bit more this week on the blog. Last week was filled with appointments and my own personal learning. I just finished reading a really wonderful book that I’m going to be sharing about soon. I’ve had a lot of appointments focused on relationships lately and this book has some really valuable guidance!
It looks like there will be a chance to work with abundance and letting go of the past this week. I randomly pull cards for the weekly messages in the Bulletin. Notice the recurrent theme in the messages – all of them connect to prosperity and abundance! There are a couple of ways to get more personalized guidance this week on the topic of prosperity or abundance (in whatever form you are seeking). Tuesday (June 18th) is the last day to register for the Metaphysical Nature Hike on Friday June 21, 2013. Wednesday June 19, 2013 is the last day to register for June’s Empowerment Circle reading. You can find all the details with links to register in the Weekly Bulletin below. I’ve also included the description for the June Empowerment Circle. Looking forward to connecting with you!
JUNE EMPOWERMENT CIRCLE - Prosperity
Description: This month our theme is PROSPERITY. For the Empowerment Circle reading, I will be asking for a metaphor from your Spiritual Support Team to help you get some insight into a concern or situation connected to your financial life or any area where you would like to experience more prosperity. We will be asking for spiritual insight about what is going on from the emotional, energetic or psychological level along with guidance to help you manifest the prosperity you are seeking. The Empowerment Circle begins with a short breathing exercise and centering prayer. Individual messages are given with the intention that each message provides insight and energetic healing for all listening. The session will conclude with an intention setting meditation to help you integrate the guidance and healing provided. All readings are done anonymously. The recordings are typically 20-40 minutes long (depending on the number of participants). EMPOWERMENT CIRCLES

Weekly Bulletin-Tips/Inspirations/Upcoming Events 6/10/2013!
Here is the information for this week! This week’s Weekly Wisdom Reading for my community had a slug in it. I actually saw a bunch of slugs (snails without their shells) while hiking yesterday. I’m including a photo from one that was on the first chakra meditation spot where I hike. Love the idea that we can be without our shells at that foundational level (first chakra is the foundational energy center – the place of security). I hope you all have an amazing week!

New! Metaphysical Nature Hikes for Individuals and Small Groups!
Heart Labyrinth at the Blessed Foundation
Just wanted to share about a new service I am offering and invite you to a community Metaphysical Nature Hike to celebrate the Summer Solstice on 6/21 from 7-9 PM. You can participate in person or join in through a virtual hike experience. Deadline to register is Tuesday June 18, 2013. Details are below! :)
Albert Einstein said that everything is made up of energy, including you and me. As energetic beings, we have different vibrational frequencies. Sometimes our energy systems are in harmony with our environment and other times we are out of rhythm or in dissonance. Just as each cell vibrates in harmony with the other cells in our body to create good health, so also do cells that are out of harmony create illness.
Mother Earth also is made up of energetic vibrations. When we are out in nature, our systems naturally fall into harmony with the vibrations around us. These vibrations are in resonance with our true nature and bring us to an optimal state of well-being and balance. As our species has evolved, we have moved further and further away from our place in the natural world. Instead of spending the majority of our days outside bringing our systems into their most optimal frequency, we spend our days inside with disruptive energy systems that make it difficult for our body, mind, and soul to stay well.
The intention of the Metaphysical Nature Hikes is to support you in reconnecting to your own natural vibration by helping you reconnect with nature and also with your own spiritual nature. During these hikes, you will have opportunities to connect with Earth energy vortexes, the essence of the plants and animals we encounter, and the spiritual guides and Angels that are available to support you in living your life purpose. The Energy vortex centers are similar to our own energy system and when we connect to these energy zones, we bring our own chakra energy system into balance. As we come into alignment and balance, we make it easier to connect with the spiritual guidance available to each of us through our intuition.
Metaphysical Nature Hikes are offered privately (individuals or a small group of friends), as a community experience (limited to 10 participants), or virtually through a recorded meditation and photographs.
Upcoming Events…
Metaphysical Nature Hike on May 5th
6/21/2013: Community Summer Solstice Metaphysical Nature Hike (7-9 PM):
Join me for a hike to connect with the Earth and your own Spiritual Team for insight in an area you would like guidance in. You will be given a worksheet to record your insights as we connect with the Chakra Meditation spots and walk the labyrinths. I will also be providing intuitive insight for the group as a whole throughout the hike. We will end our hike with a heart labyrinth walk by solar powered lights. Each participant will also receive an oracle card reading to help provide additional insight. There is space for 10 on the hike. Pre-registration is required by June 18, 2013. Sanctuary Soul Friend Community Members: $20; Non-Members: $25
Virtual Metaphysical Nature Hike
For those not able to attend in person, you can still participate by purchasing a virtual hiking experience! I’ve found that you can connect to the energy of a place through intention when you see a photo. When you sign up for the Virtual version of the community Metaphysical Nature Hike, I’ll guide you through the process to help you experience the healing power of nature from the comfort of your home (or backyard).
The Virtual Metaphysical Nature Hike experience includes…
- An MP3 meditation guiding you through the experience which includes an intention setting prayer, visualization, intuitive insight, oracle card reading, and closing prayer
- Images from each of the meditation spots used during the hike to support the visualization process
- Metaphysical meanings and guidance for each location
- A worksheet you can use to record your impressions and insights
Private Individual or Small Group Hikes: Email Nancy (Nancy@EmpoweringLightworkers.com) to set up your own private or small group hike. Hikes are typically 60-90 minutes long. On these hikes, specific targeted intuitive guidance will be provided for each person as part of the hike experience. This is similar to an empowerment reading as we will be working with the Earth energies and spiritual guidance to empower you to greater understanding, healing and abundance. Please Note: This option is only available for those who have participated in a community hike, are members of the Sanctuary Soul Friends Community or are current or former clients of Nancy Nicholas. A small group hike can be scheduled as long as one of the participants have been a part of one of the above options.

Grow Your Gifts Meditation – Embracing Shadows
My shadows hold no fear for me now. I embrace the shades within me, as I embrace that which is visible. I love and I am free.
I worked with this image while listening to the music by Gabriel Masterson on his album Mother Earth Rising. The haunting and beautiful Native American flute music created in Sedona feels so in sync with the energy of this image. Both speak to me of the haunting beauty of the shadows within the scope of the light. When I connect with this image, I am reminded that my emotions often reflect a distorted image of what is. Remembering that there are aspects of myself and what I perceive that are easily visible and also parts that are hidden invite me to be more gentle with myself and those around me. Remembering there is nothing to fear in the shadows makes it easier to embrace them.
How to Work with the Image
- Take a moment to center yourself. Close your eyes and breathe in and out slowly three times. Let your exhale be longer than your inhale.
- Open your eyes and focus on the image. Ask your Spiritual Support Team to help you come into harmonic resonance with the image and to receive the amount of energy from the essence of the place for your highest and best good.
- Use your imagination to put yourself in the photo. Use all your senses to interact with what is shown. What do you feel, see, hear, smell, taste and touch as you connect?
- Ask for Divine guidance on how you can incorporate the gifts from this essence into your own life and situation. Allow yourself to feel the love and support flowing to you and through you from the Earth and the Divine.
- Repeat the affirmation (see caption) as you breathe in and out slowly.
- Be open to any additional thoughts, sounds, smells, or images that come to you as you are working with the photo. Consider these as messages to support you on your path. Ask what these impressions mean to you. What do they make you think or feel?
- Continue to recall the image throughout the day when you wish to bring in the energy it provides.
- Express your gratitude for the gifts given to you through the experience.
With much love to all!
Nancy

June Community Passport -Events/Insights/Prosperity!
Happy June!
I do a year-long reading in January and the theme that came through for June is prosperity. I have been feeling guided that this isn't just about financial abundance, but offers an opportunity to experience true prosperity on many levels. As we move into a month where my Earth Sanctuary group is focusing on the fifth chakra (energy center at the throat) which offers an opportunity to express our truth about who we are at our highest potential, we are being given a chance to experience true prosperity-being ourselves and living authentically.
Spiritual Insights from the Month of May
This has been a transformational month for me. My Earth Sanctuary group have been working with connecting to the fourth chakra of Mother Earth with the intention of bringing this energy center into harmonic resonance with the Earth and our highest and best version of ourselves. Through this process, I found myself working through several different themes, all of which connected to allowing myself to love more easily and freely. Below is a synopsis of what I have learned with the hope that it will be insightful for you as well.
Honesty: Do you know what you really feel? Do you know what you really want? This month, I discovered that I sometimes had a disconnect between what my brain identified as the answer to those questions and what my heart would say. I found that often old stories were dictating the path of what I said I wanted. Awareness helped me to begin to really listen to what my core self was sharing through the vehicle of my emotional and physical reactions. What I discovered was often surprising. Adjusting my responses in my interactions with others to what I truly was feeling or wanting instead of playing out old scripts helped to shift my energy into a higher vibration where it was easier to stay in a state of love.
Old Stories: This month, I had the opportunity to clear out, repair, and finally release some old stories that have been influencing my definition of myself and how I live for most of my life. I had the opportunity to try a technique called BodyTalk Therapy with Kristen Cirocco. It was truly transformational and brought about two major shifts for me. What I discovered through this month of self-exploration is that we are in a time where we are truly being called to choose what our story is going to be about in the new book of our lives. Energetically, we have the opportunity to live at a higher vibrational frequency (moving closer to a state of living in love) and this requires us to release old stories about who we believe we have to be or how we believe we have to live. Truly, we are now butterflies. Our caterpillar lifetime is complete. As we go through the process of examining our old stories of who we are, we discover brand new ones that will allow us to work in concert with the Divine and our own highest expression of ourselves.
Coming Home to my own story: Another thing that has come up is learning to be a better protector of my heart. We are bombarded by life stories of others in this world, as the constant conveyance of what is happening with others fills our daily lives through social media and the news. While this has benefits, the downside is we can become overloaded or anxious from this confrontation of so many life stories, especially the life stories that are facing traumatic events. During one of my Lightworker Mentoring Group sessions, the message came through that it is our job to care for ourselves through the process of being confronted with these events. We need to call ourselves back home to our own life story and remind ourselves of what that is and what it is not. Experiencing someone else’s life story as if it is our own, leaves us depleted and lost. We can only live that which is ours. Loving and caring for others means we believe they have all that they need to live what is theirs to go through. Praying for all the love and help they can receive, allowing the Divine to work through us when needed, while always taking care of ourselves is the best way to support others. Living it with them helps no one.
Judgment: Another gift from my work with Kristen was the recognition of the judgments I make about what is best for my loved ones and family. She refreshed my memory about the Work by Byron Katie. Using this process, I was able to see where I held a sense of responsibility for others experiences. My belief that I knew what would keep them healthy or safe, my reaction when they chose to do something different, all were very revealing. The truth is we can never truly know what is best for someone else because we don’t know what they are trying to learn in this lifetime. Kristen helped me see that what I was really saying when I made the judgment my husband shouldn’t eat pop tarts if he wants to be healthy (a simple example), was that I shouldn’t eat pop tarts. Being able to see that we are always looking at others to see reflections of what is true for ourselves was a wonderful reminder for me. When I am able to truly trust that my loved ones have access to Divine support and that their soul has a game plan for them, I can be free to follow my own path. Carrying the burden of trying to keep everyone safe is too heavy. Believing in them sets us both free. After all, there is no better gift to give those we love then the freedom to follow the path they need to be on to experience the fullest expression of who they are. The routes taken may look like a bad choice from our point of view, but trusting that the Divine and their highest self are directing the story the individual has chosen to experience can bring peace.
Attachment: This has been a great learning for me! Just as I am not able to tell what is best for another’s journey, I am also not able to tell what is best for my own. Trusting that my highest self and the Divine are guiding my path, allows me to let go of my attachment to outcomes and form. Letting things happen as they need to happen, frees up my ability to be at peace. Our ego consciousness is only able to see part of the picture. So many layers of things happen hidden from our view. The only thing to set a clear intention for what you want to experience (ie. joy, happiness, abundance, fulfillment) and then let the Divine get you there. Releasing attachments allows that process to happen more smoothly and easily.
Enjoy the last day of May!
Nancy

Emotions as Tools of the Divine
Do you ever feel like your emotions are sabotaging you? Do you ever wish you could just turn them off? What exactly is the purpose of our emotions anyway? All of these questions were rattling around in my mind during a recent meditation. I decided to set the intention that my emotions would begin to be tools that were 100% aligned with my highest and best intention for myself. I invoked Divine support and asked that I be guided in how to start working with my emotions with this intention. Shortly after, one of my Lightworker Mentoring Group calls took place. During that call, a great deal of information came through, all of which was presented to help us work with this new intention for our emotions. I have been working with the ideas presented and testing them out. Here is what I came up with:
Acknowledge Your Unpleasant Feelings: The first step is to be aware of what you are feeling. Sometimes we let our unpleasant feelings be suppressed or we ignore them. For this to be effective, we need to notice the feeling when it occurs. A simple statement to use is, “I am feeling…” Write in what is true for you in the moment.
Accept the Importance of Feelings to Your Life Purpose: As much as we would all love to be happy and peaceful all the time, I was told very clearly that our unpleasant feelings are as necessary to our purpose as the pleasant ones. When you are feeling something you wish you weren’t, take a moment to remind yourself that this too is part of you living your life purpose. Working through our difficult emotions is how we move more in alignment with our highest intention for ourselves.
Identify the Foundational Thought that is Creating the Feeling and Question if it is True: Once you recognize the emotion, it is important to trace it back to the thought that led to the feeling. For instance, if you are feeling frustrated, ask yourself what am I thinking that causes frustration? Maybe you are thinking you don’t have enough time to get everything done. Use Byron Katie’s steps of The Work. Ask yourself if this is true. Reverse the statement and ask if it is equally or more true (in our example – I have plenty of time to get what I need to get done.). How do you feel if this statement is true? If it changes your feeling to happiness, relief, joy, peace, then it is the better thought. Choose to think that instead.
Set a Clear Intention Invoke Love and Divine Support to Shift the Experience to a Higher Vibration: Set the intention that your new thought is your truth. Using our example, state the following:
I always have time to do everything I need to do with ease.
I invoke Divine support and inspiration to make this so.
I ask the Divine to speak through me to manifest this intention.
I ask that my heart feel the love that comes from this intention being my truth.
I ask that my masculine energy take action only on the Divine guidance of my highest self.
I ask that my feminine energy provide the wisdom to allow myself to receive this.
Imagine your inner child living with this as your reality.
Put your hand on the heart and say, “I pray it is so and so it is.”
Finally, feel your whole system connecting to the support of the Earth, the support of the Divine and the support of your highest self to bring this into being. Surrender your attachment to the outcome and trust in the Divine.
Soothe the Part of You that Felt Threatened and Reassure it That You Are Safe: Imagine the unpleasant feeling as a whirlpool. Imagine your highest self, wrapping its arms around the whirlpool and pouring love into it. Continue until the whirlpool calms and you feel more peaceful. Repeat this process every time you start to feel insecure around the issue. This will retrain your system, so that it will come in alignment with your highest intention.
Release Your Old Stories or the Life Stories of Others: Ask yourself if you are acting out an old story about yourself or trying to live someone else’s story. Using our example, are you the person who is always overwhelmed and rushed? Is being “busy” who you are? Decide if this is the story you want to be true for you. If not, choose to delete that and identify your story as your new truth. For example, instead of being someone who is always busy, choose to be someone who is always Divinely guided and lives by faith in Divine timing and order.
Embrace Your Own Truth and Your Own Life Story: Choose to stay in your own truth and your own life when you are working with the new approach. To support you with this, ask the Angels to help you release attachment to any outside influences and come home to your own true center. Keep asking yourself if what you are feeling is true for you, no matter what others have or may experience.
Take Action as Guided: When you feel motivated, take action to bring about your desired intention. The way you can tell the action is in order is how you feel. If you feel resistance, uneasiness, or fear, then hold off until the way feels clearer. You want to move in the direction of what feels good to you. That is how the Divine leads us.
Wishing you abundance and joy in your journey!
