  Recently I listened to a Spiritual Weather Report call with guest speaker Anna Breitenbach. Anna discussed the energy of the Coronavirus and what we might learn from it. You can listen to the recording here. (You can also attend a fundraiser for and with Anna this coming Saturday, 5/23 @ 9am pacific time here.) As Anna was sharing about the virus I had an "aha" moment as I became aware that, for the most part, human civilizaton has been the predator and has hunted and killed all other species (including it's own!) Now with the social isolation of humans, there have been reports of all kinds of wild animals making their presence known. Dolphins have been seen swimming in the canals of Venice. There have been sightings of many other wild animals showing themselves as they come out of hiding, as we humans have had to "hide out" at home. Now we humans have had to shift from predator to prey as we hunker down in our homes to try to keep ourselves "safe" from the Coronavirus. We are in fear for our own lives! We are facing our own death as well as the death of our loved ones and many hundreds of thousands of others who have already lost their lives. Finally, may we begin to realize that this is how most of the animal kingdom has had to live in order to survive. They have had to hide and remain invisible as their habitat has gotten smaller and smaller over the last century or so. Humans have reached a point where human game hunters have shot and killed so many of the "Big 5" in "canned hunts" so they can feel power over. There is no reverance or respect for life as long as these heartless behaviors continue. It is our turn to really reflect on our heartless arrogance and superior behavior and learn to have compassion for ALL living beings! We need to open our hearts in great compassion for the animals (and humans) we have "ruled" over. As we feel what it feels like to be "the prey" hiding from the Coronavirus, we are being asked to learn these lessons of polarized states of consciousness such as; life/death, survival/extinction, better than/less than, superior/inferior, and power over/over-powered, to name a few. We have treated those in the animal kingdom so inhumanely! (We treat each other inhumanely as well.) Life is so very precious and humans need to honor and respect the gift of life that we each have been given. The Gift of the Coronavirus is that it has given us the opportunity to STOP and reflect on where we have been and where we are going. Life, as we have known it, no longer exists or will not look like what we remember. And perhaps it is time to ask ourselves what is truly our heart's desire, as we contemplate birthing a "new earth"? What might we change or do differently now? How do we wish to be treated and how do we wish to treat others? When we contemplate life and death for the entire planet may we begin to see that all of life depends on our interconnection with each other. We all need each other! What would each of us choose to manifest as we begin to vision a new Heaven on Earth reality? We are powerful manifestors and it is time now to take responsibility for all of our thoughts and actions in a very conscious way. Let's come together in unconditional love and co-create a New Earth where the Lion and the Lamb lay down together in Peace and Love.

The Great Awakening The Path to LiberationI am Barbara Sawicki - Spiritual Seeker, Teacher, Mentor, Intuit and Guide  For many years, it has been my profound privilege to personally counsel many through difficult circumstances in their lives. I have worked with those dealing with personal problems, family problems, relationship problems, health problems, business problems and questions of faith. I came to earth with an intuitive ability that helps others identify feelings and emotions. I have the ability to journey deep into the unconscious with others and to "witness" and help name their process. The ability to name our process is the first step in our healing. Today, we are walking through unprecedented times that are bringing up many emotions: Grief, Anger, Despair, Depression, Confusion, Mistrust, and most of all FEAR This is an opportunity to no longer deny, hide, resist or become enmeshed with our emotions/core wounding. We will re-parent those parts that have been stuck or frozen and offer them the love and comfort that they never received. After studying with enlightened teacher, Leslie Temple Thurston for over 20 years and becoming a teacher myself for the past 10 years , I have been blessed to mentor many students through the years. Some of the most helpful tools for uncovering unconscious beliefs that are held in the body are Focusing and Frozen Child(ren) Technique. As a contribution to these times, I would like to gift my one on one counseling services at $60 per hour instead of the regular rate of $125 per hour, for the next 3 months. As a recognition that this may put a hardship on some at this difficult time, I am also offering a sliding scale, depending on what you can comfortably pay. Some say this time is a great opportunity, some say this time is frightening and confusing. The corona virus is bringing up both personal and collective fear as well as many opportunities and gifts. We need community and each other more than ever right now to navigate through these times. "May this time of self-quarantine be used to face each feeling as a way of deepening your relationship with Source by offering comfort, care, and compassion to the most displaced and shut down parts within you that cry out for love." ~Matt Kahn~ Please join me as we create a Sacred and Safe space together. Let's journey into the physical body and offer a gentle invitation to all those emotions and core woundings yearning to be heard. I am here for you and with you. We will walk through this together in a loving and safe environment. I invite you to visit my website for more information and details. P.S. If you know anyone (friends, family, colleagues) who are also feeling challenged right now, please feel free to share this message with them. Please contact me at 530-215-3903 or email me at barbarasaw@bridgetotransformation.com   CALLING ALL ANGELS A Guided Meditation With Barbara Sawicki Sunday December 29, 2019 11am-12pm US Pacific Time "Barbara has been the primary teacher/mentor for CoreLight's Spiritual Warrior Training program for many years. She has masterfully helped us to anchor the organization through a massive transition time. Now we feel tremendously blessed that she is teaching in other ways through CoreLight. Her radiant heart, wisdom and compassion are a true gift for all to receive." -- Leslie Temple-Thurston and Brad Laughlin Calling All Angels to participate in this year-end guided meditation
As the old world continues to crumble, we are being invited to co-create a New Earth. We are no longer focused only on our own individual needs but rather looking at what is best for ALL who inhabit this exquisite planet and most especially for the well-being of our Mother Earth. We must take responsibility for contributing to her destruction, and we are being asked to now take responsibility for her resurrection. As we enter into this new paradigm of 2020, it is time for those of us who are feeling called, to come together and consciously plant the seeds for our new beginnings. It is now time to rise above the fray. We have done our due diligence and cleared massive amounts of shadow over the last several decades in preparation for this 2020 doorway! We have been building our light as we have cleared more and more of our shadow. We are ready now to make a bid for power through the Power of One. WE are the ONES we have been waiting for! Barbara will lead us in a guided meditation to bring our past and future into the Present Moment. We will call on the angelic aspects of ourselves and, with conscious intention, begin to sow the seeds of a new Earth together. For a taste of what's yet to come please listen here. These are such exciting times. Even as the old world continues to dissolve, we are beginning to rise from the ashes, like the Phoenix. Just like we did in the beginning of our evolution on Earth, we now consciously get to co-create Heaven on Earth. This time we have all of the knowledge of thousands of years of pain and suffering helping us to be clear about what is wanting and not wanting in this co-creation of a New Earth. Let's come together and imagine/vision a New Earth! This guided meditation is dedicated to our beloved teacher and guide, Leslie Temple-Thurston. It is FREE. Although Love offerings to CoreLight are welcome. Call in details:
If you are unable to join us or would like to re-listen, the call will be recorded and available at the same link as the webcast.  Are you wanting to find inner peace? Are you tired of the “critical voices” warring in your head? Are you wanting to find balance between polarized states of consciousness…to be neither attracted nor repulsed by either polarity? That is the way to ascension. During a recent meditation, after processing Tyrant/Victim with a group of CoreLight members, I felt a sense of panic rise up within me. As I sat with the panic, I could feel a sense of peace move through. I became present with both panic and peace. I then saw an image of a white pathway extending out before me with panic on one side and peace on the other side. As I walked the narrow white pathway above and between both sides of the polarities, I saw white billowing sails extend out from and below each side of the pathway. As I stayed on the path Witnessing both sides, I was told that these sails were angel wings holding both sides of these and all polarized states of consciousness. I heard, “be neither attracted nor repulsed by either side, walk the Middle Way.” Do you find yourself flip-flopping between positive and negative states of consciousness? Do you try to avoid negative states and cling to positive states? Are you struggling with worry and doubt? Are you being challenged with unresolved issues and or limiting beliefs? Are you feeling stuck in the same old rut? Do you struggle with depression, feelings of not good enough and unworthiness? Are you wanting inner peace? As the song lyric says, “Learning to Love Yourself is the Greatest Gift of All” written by Michael Masser and Linda Creed Many of us internalized the voices of our mothers, fathers or other adults when we were growing up and now we hear their voices as our own inner voice(s). We may continue to judge and criticize ourselves the way our parents or authority figures judged and criticized us when we were growing up. Many of those parts of us that were deeply wounded back then went into hiding and show up/act out now as unexpected anger or sadness or overwhelm (to name a few negative emotions) when they are triggered. Let’s work together to get in touch with those parts (conscious or unconscious) that struggle or suffer from unresolved core wounding. Let me help you learn how to “re-parent” those frozen, unwanted, unloved parts that have gone into hiding, without having to “fix” or “change” them. Let’s welcome them home together in a safe, gentle and unconditionally loving sacred space. Feel yourself being held without judgement or criticism, rather with compassion and greater understanding. Learn how to bond with your own inner Mother/Higher Self so that you can FEEL and know the Mother’s unconditional love as she/you hold these wounded parts in her/your loving arms. As we heal and begin to love ourselves more and more, we are then able to step onto the path of the Middle Way, strengthening the Neutral Witness and becoming the inner Mother/Higher Self we have been yearning for so long.

Looking forward to being with you in an unconditionally loving way…Barbara Copyright (c) 2019 Barbara Sawicki * All Rights Reserved * You may copy and distribute this material as long as you do not alter it in any way, the content remains complete and you include this copyright notice.  As we approach this New Year, we are being asked to take some quiet time and do some inner reflection. Are we being kind to others despite feeling overwhelmed with all that is happening in the world? So many of us are so busy, our “to do” lists seem never ending… during this busy holiday season we are being asked to take time and be kind to one another, to pay it forward, but do we treat ourselves the way we treat others?
In the Northern hemisphere we are moving into the winter months, a time of dormancy, a time of quiet inner reflection. This can prove very challenging for those of us who are type A personalities or for those who were taught from a young age that “idle hands are the devil’s workshop”. Many of us were told that we must have something tangible to show for our time. We were only ever able to be “still” if we were sick. Because so many of us were raised with judgement and criticism, we have internalized those adult voices and they have become a predominant part of our own internal dialogue. So much so that we aren’t even consciously aware of how we speak to ourselves. We would NEVER speak to another the way we speak to ourselves. We berate ourselves and belittle ourselves. We are constantly judging our own behavior and letting ourselves know how “bad”/” terrible”/” wrong” we are. We become filled with shame and self-loathing. Now, of course we judge and criticize others too, but not anywhere near as harshly as we judge ourselves. When I was growing up my own inner guidance let me know that if I were to only learn one lesson in this lifetime it would be The Golden Rule. We all know The Golden Rule: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. In other words, treat people the way you wish to be treated. In my opinion, there is a part that is still missing and that is: “treat yourself the way you wish others would treat you”. Kindness begins INSIDE! It’s an inside job! This is where compassion and caring really take root. We can only find PEACE within, and if we are at war with ourselves, and treating ourselves unkindly, we will never find the peace that we are seeking. So, as the song goes, “Let there be Peace on Earth and let it begin with me” is the mantra for 2019! This is my prayer for each of us and for the World this coming New Year! May we each find the inner peace that we have been seeking and may it then be reflected throughout the World. Many Blessings to ALL! May each of our Hearts open fully in unconditional LOVE!  As we move through these times of great change we are being asked to slow way down and be still. As the fires were raging outside, we were being asked to let those fires burn within as well. We are going through a GREAT purification now. All that no longer serves is being burned away creating nourishing ash from which the new is being born. Witness the Phoenix rising from the ashes. I now live in the heart of the fires in Redding, CA. Fortunately, the rains have come, and the fires are out.
We are being asked to walk the razor’s edge now. In order to make this walk fuller, and more beneficial, we are to take our time and become more fully present with each step. Notice the polarized states of consciousness still being held within the mind. Are we feeling victimized or feeling a deep sense of grief as our own shadow and the World’s shadow come more fully into the light? See if it would be okay to allow these polarized states to move through you. Let yourself fully feel whatever emotions are arising right now. If we identify with these polarized states of consciousness, we make them real and then feel hopeless and helpless. We are being asked to be in the present moment, so we do not fall off the razor’s edge into one side of the polarity or the other. When we fall, we abandon ourselves and forget the Truth of Who We Really Are! It is during these times that we need to strengthen the Witness. Back in 2004 I took a trip to the South of France with a Spiritual group of like-minded friends. We visited the ruins of the Cathars (*see definition below) at the top of a mountain. The Cathars did not believe in organized religion with priests and churches but rather believed in everyone (both men and women) having the ability to go God Direct. The Roman Catholic Empire gave the Cathars an option of either joining Christianity or being burned to death for heresy. We meditated in the Cathar ruins at the top of the mountain where they were held hostage and not allowed food until they made up their minds whether they would convert or die. After several weeks of “fasting” and meditating it was unanimously decided that they would stand (die) for what they believed in. I could “feel” the choice that the Cathars made in every cell in my body as I meditated amidst the ruins. As we began walking back down the path, I could hear the chanting of the Cathars as they marched to their death. It was not a wale of grief but a song of joy as they knew that they would be going Home! At the bottom of the mountain were fields where, during the time of the Cathars, large fires were burning. As the “story” goes, the Cathars did not need to be pushed into the fires by the Christian Crusaders but willingly threw themselves into the fires to return Home to the Divine. Perhaps there are many of us now who are either descended from or reincarnated as Cathars. As we stand on the Razor’s Edge in the Neutral Witness/Observer we are being asked to remember that we can go God Direct and know that we are all Divine! When we can be The Witness, we can come into reconciliation with all polar-opposites while standing on the Razor’s Edge. It is my great joy to assist in guiding you into strengthening the Witness through reconciliation of opposites. Our beloved teacher Leslie Temple-Thurston once asked us, “what are you willing to die for?” The Cathars knew the answer and ultimately, so do we! *(“The Cathars were a religious group who appeared in Europe in the eleventh century, their origins something of a mystery though there is reason to believe their ideas came from Persia or the Byzantine Empire, by way of the Balkans and Northern Italy. Records from the Roman Catholic Church mention them under various names and in various places. Catholic theologians debated with themselves for centuries whether Cathars were Christian heretics or whether they were not Christians at all. The question is apparently still open. Roman Catholics still refer to Cathar belief as "the Great Heresy" though the official Catholic position is that Catharism is not Christian at all.”) quote from www.cathar.info Copyright (c) 2018 Barbara Sawicki * All Rights Reserved * You may copy and distribute this material as long as you do not alter it in any way, the content remains complete and you include this copyright notice. Please feel free to share...  Are you feeling pushed to the edge? Pushed out of your comfort zone? Pushed to the breaking point? And, at the same time, feeling pulled to return to what's familiar?
Caught between the two? Wanting to move forward and break out of old patterns and at the same time afraid of change? What will it take to let go and take a leap of faith? If you're feeling ready to make a change but feel like there's some part of you that wants to cling to the familiar...perhaps Focusing or the Squares Processing technique can help... (both of these techniques are described on the Bridge to Transformation website) I too am ready to take a Leap of Faith...being pulled to step up and speak out...to offer a kind and gentle hand to guide whoever feels called, to step onto the Bridge of Transformation!
