Natacha and
I celebrated the New Year and all its wonderful new energy shifts and expanded
consciousness by travelling up and down the North Island for 2 weeks. We allowed
ourselves to be guided by spirit and our divine selves to places of new and
expanding energies.
While the
trip wasn't planned as such, there was one destination that beckoned us… Mt. Maunganui.
Mt. Maunganui had shone out brightly as
a desired destination when we first looked at the map long before our journey
began.
As we
travelled from Wellington towards Taupo, Gaia joyfully chatted with us about the
places we passed and expressed lovingly that the land was honoured to be
travelled by those of open awareness and with an open heart.
We were also
honoured by the constant energy of the Hawk. It both guided us and celebrated
the journey with us on many levels along our journey. One day we passed a hawk
dead on the side of the road. It hadn't long been killed. With honour and
gratitude we received its tail feathers before placing it amongst the ferns
away from the road.
The other
awareness that was constantly being shown to us was the connection between New
Zealand and Australia. Along our travels there were, magpies, rosellas, Kookaburras,
gum trees, an Aborigine, emus, pictures of Koalas, statue of Ned Kelly and of
course possums, or more correctly, possum remnants on the roads. At times the
energies of the 2 countries were so entwined that it was easy to forget where
you were. Gaia was constantly reminding us of the deep connection between these
2 countries... connections that are very important at this time of our
evolution. (More of this connection to come).
Some of the
wonderful places we visited and shared with were: The Kaimanawa Wall, Blue Springs,
the Quan Yin gardens, Karangahake Gorge, Lake Waikaremoana (where we talked to
the Goddess of the lake), Mount Te Aroha and of course, Mt. Maunganui.

We reached
the Mount late in the day and all accommodation was booked, except for one room
right across the road from the Mount and the beach… perfect of course.
The message
from Mt. Maunganui was simple… “Clear the energies… Pull the Plug!” As I looked
at the mountain from our room, it made sense… it’s a volcano and an inactive
volcano has a plug. Releasing the ‘plug’ was releasing the new energies that
had been waiting for this new consciousness, new energy to come forth for 2015.
We were also
made aware that there was a strong energetic connection between all the
volcanoes in the North Island. If one had its ‘plug’ pulled, they would all
release their energies one by one. We realised we had driven past many of these
volcanoes in our journey. Consciously breathing with White Island was a very
beautiful moment.
The next day
we walked to the top of the Mount and breathed with it each step of the way
allowing the potential for the energies to shift and feeling ‘the plug’ loosen.
When we reached the top and looked across the ocean and the land from our lofty viewpoint, we heard Gaia relate that 2015 carries the energy of expansion. That energy of expansion was felt as we climbed but was even more noticeable at the top. We breathed with the energies and felt them expand. We watched the gulls flying effortlessly in the energy when suddenly two gulls flew up right in front of as if out of the abyss and hovered on the breeze so close we could almost touch them.

Timelines seemed to blur easily as we witnessed the first Waitaha wakas landing on the shores blended with the first Maori landings blended with present day families enjoying the beaches. It was beautiful to witness the oneness.
So many
messages/reminders were coming to us from spirit, “Time to start being… Feel
yourself expand as you walk… It’s all coming up from within you… Allow the
oneness… From expression comes expansion.” We could feel the new energies and
potentials shining through from the energetic release of ‘the plug’ and our
open heart embrace of the new potentials we could feel in our very core.
As we made
our way back to Wellington, we fully embraced all we'd experienced in and
around ourselves. We were, and still are, very excited about this new Era we've ‘stepped’ into this year. So many of the wonderful places we experienced are
calling us back and we intend to create tours so we can share these places of
the heart together…watch this space!
