The profoundly broken heart seeks answers. If the pain and confusion are profound enough, the questioning can emerge into the spiritual/mystical realm. We could find our thoughts running like such: 

*what did I do to attract/deserve this?

*how could this happen?

*what does it mean?

*we’ve got to be connected on a deeper level, right? (I got it! It’s a past life thing!)

Or we might even go so far as to arrive at the conclusion that it could only be a “twin flame” experience. Surely no other relationship dynamic is capable of generating so much pain and questioning of one’s sanity, right? (If you’re hearing this term for the first time, go on, just Google that shit. OMG, right?)

The truth is that it doesn’t really matter what name we give our experience.  What DOES matter, is that we attain consciousness around the WHY. That is how we gain empowerment. And thankfully, the Why isn’t as horrendous as we often imagine. It’s actually all about ENERGY and vibrational matches that appear in our lives to match the energetic and karmic patterns we are carrying within us. When we have consciousness around this, healing and creating new experiences (including love!) become natural.

Self-healing in this area is very powerful. Sometimes, though, we can find ourselves getting stuck. We all have blind spots. This is where I can help. If this post resonates deeply with you and you'd like help with unwinding the stories behind your heartbreak, contact me.

I am creating a group of 10 women to beta-test my program and am in search of participants. If you yourself have, or know of any women who have experienced the following, I would love to chat. 

❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
>>>Women who have met a great love, followed by the loss of it and are heartbroken, devastated and confused by the experience. The meeting/loss serves as a catalyst for spiritual awakening.<<<
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

The goal: We will work together to help you understand the “why” of this experience on an energetic, karmic pattern level and to move toward true healing of your beautiful heart and soul. You will learn to be relentlessly loving to yourself as you heal and to understand that you are a powerful creator who has the capacity to create anything you desire, including love.

If you participate, your investment is $47. We begin Friday, March 2. Please email sara@sarasmysticforest.com with subject line "beta test group" if this resonates. Your feedback and personal results will shape and inform how the ultimate program is structured.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!

How will I ever heal my broken heart??

Is your heart at the mercy of a universe that enjoys sick jokes? It can totally feel like that’s the case when you have an experience that rends your heart in two. It can lead to profound questioning and perhaps even to the conclusion that you’re destined to be alone. However, the truth is a lot less malicious and so much more benign. It’s important to remember that the free will of others often has nothing to do with you. It’s also critical to understand the unconscious patterns you can unknowingly be perpetuating, which often originate in past life choices and events. Uncovering the root cause of your heartache is very comforting because:

*you gain consciousness around the why

*you are able to release self-blame

*you inevitably begin to heal emotionally and spiritually

You owe it to yourself and your beautiful heart to heal the pain and loss. I can help. Contact me to learn more.

​If you’re familiar with the term but don’t have a thorough understanding of what shadow work is, it can definitely be intimidating. Perhaps visions of slowly descending into madness come to mind; or maybe a scenario that’s a little less dramatic but no more fun: of being so fearful of living life that you turn into a hermit. And initially, the prospect of going deep into your unconscious might be slightly off-putting. It isn’t an easy thing- looking at the parts of yourself that are not-so-pretty.
 
In actuality though, the results of consciously working with your shadow can be life-changing. You can:
 
*experience more profound self-love
 
*have a broader understanding of why you do what you do
 
Working with the unconscious in a conscious (ha! see what I did there?) way is extremely empowering. The root cause of the painful issue is brought to light. It is transmuted and integrated, and you become more of who you really are, which is a shining, powerful creator. Is it time to embrace your shadow?

To have and nurture a practice of gratitude is a very useful and healthy habit. It serves to expand our appreciation of that which we have brought into our lives; the blessings, privileges, relationships, support, prosperity and love.  To remind ourselves of the good things regularly, opens up the possibility to bring in more of the same. This practice can be especially helpful when things go wrong: when the car breaks down making you late for work, when you screw up an interview, when your flight gets cancelled, when the dog pukes on the bed as you’re leaving the room to check on your crying toddler during dinner prep. It helps us reframe our immediate experience to focus on the positive things we do have going on, which is great when it looks like everything’s going to shit at the moment. It motivates us to get through whatever unpleasantness or inconvenience we’re experiencing.

So- how does being grateful act as an excuse to be complacent? It may seem counter-intuitive, but hear me out.

Say you have a friend who likes to create drama in her life. Whenever she calls, you dread answering the phone because you know you’ll end up feeling energetically drained. Your normally upbeat outlook will be dimmed and you’ll feel diminished. But, she’s sort of a friend, and you feel obligated to listen and support, even though you know she’ll never act on the advice she asks for from you. You tell yourself to be grateful for her, because she has picked up your kids after school once or twice.

If you want to create a life that is aligned with who you really are, you might find yourself eliminating people from your circle because you aren’t happy with the way you feel after interacting with them. And yet, something that resembles gratitude sneaks into your mental space, telling you that you should be grateful to have someone like her who can help out in a pinch. This is not true gratitude.

When we are actively working on changing something in our lives, what looks like gratitude is actually resistance. As we work to change circumstances and are busy creating a new result, resistance is guaranteed. It shows up in many forms: procrastination, forgetfulness and just plain quitting are common ones. But “gratitude” for what we already have may also arise. Why? It’s the ego’s way of keeping us where we are: comfortable with the familiar. You might tell yourself: “But I already have ______. Why should I change anything? This is pretty good, right? I have it better than Matt and his wife!” (or whoever) :)

​It’s time to check yourself. This is not gratitude. This is egoic resistance and you need to recognize it for what it is before it derails you from your goal. The good thing is that once you identify it, it becomes easier to avoid as you move toward your desired outcome and your highest potential.

Knowing your soul-level gifts and qualities sets you up for success in creating what you truly want. It facilitates moving into the highest expression of who you are.

“You have to wait on Divine Timing!” or “Do what your spirit guides tell you to do.” “Raise your vibe and things will start happening.” What does that even mean?

This used to be the mental chatter I told myself all the time. I would hold out on doing something I wanted really badly simply because I carried a belief that when it was “meant” to happen, it would happen. I also was very unclear about when I was receiving- or not receiving- guidance from my spirit guide team. I had the same false belief that if something was “meant” to come my way, I’d receive a trumpet call of notice from On High that it was imminent. However, this led to me:

missing opportunities I thought I deserved 

sitting around waiting for things to happen for me

feeling somehow wronged when they didn’t happen

But, after having my Akashic Records session, it dawned on me that *I* was the one who determines that I will receive what it is that I want. I learned what my soul level gifts are and how to best express them in life. I was able to clear many blocks keeping me from accessing those gifts. I gained a much clearer understanding of the relationship my spirit guides have with me, and the best way for them to assist me in creating what I want. 

It comes down to this: we are the most powerful spiritual authority in our lives. The sooner we dispose of all the spiritual fluff, the sooner we can take the reins in creating our heart’s desire and having the human experiences we really want.

There are those in the spiritual development community- you’ve probably observed them- who are always hopping from reader to reader, modality to modality, to get “clarification” or a different insight. Signing up for free healings/readings, etc. week after week is simply a way to avoid taking action. Maybe this person is even you. Here’s something to think about: you most likely got the guidance you REALLY needed in the first free card pull, but you were afraid to DO anything. You will never change your life by jumping from session to session in this way. If you find yourself experiencing/doing any of the following:

*regularly second-guessing the reader with whom you’re working, no matter who it is

*a feeling of chasing your tail

*being in constant research or information-gathering mode

If this is you, know that it’s up to you to forge ahead in spite of your fears around taking the necessary action and making the necessary changes. These changes will not happen overnight. They require effort on your part. Expect to put in at least 3 to 6 months to create lasting change. You don’t need to struggle but you do need to exert effort to get to the place you want to be, or to create that which you desire.

Welcome! Guidelines for the Facebook group Divine Collective follow. So happy to have you here!

This is a safe place for conscious souls to embrace, discuss and increase the depth of understanding and empowerment around your divinity. You are- we ALL are- immensely powerful creators, constantly creating our experience through the choices we make. This community exists to help you understand the power you wield and to teach you to wield it 
consciously! 

It's time to ground your divinity in your human experience. We are all created as individual expressions of Divine Source. We have free will and unlimited access to abundance in whatever form we desire it. We are the only ones preventing ourselves from having our heart's desire.

Being the powerful creators we are, with this power comes responsibility. Know this: you’re not a victim. It’s time to embrace all your creations- the ones you see as “good” and the ones you see as “bad”- and I'll teach you to begin creating "on purpose". So, show up and be accountable for your creations. Especially the ones you want to change. 

Remember: Knowledge = Power = Responsibility

My soul group is one of earth connection. I draw strength from Mother Earth, being in the woods and from my animal friends. Expect to hear from spirit animals, elementals, the tarot and crystal consciousness in this community on a fairly regular basis. Feel free to chime in with your own experiences too and ask questions! I'll do my utmost to help and support you.

And plan on having fun and engaging in shenanigans aplenty! I truly identify as a sarcastic wise-ass and you’ll see that in here for sure. The core of this group is embracing who you are at soul level and enjoying your human experience! I am here to guide and empower you.

GUIDELINES: 

1. No bullying, spamming, or general ass-holery. Jerks will be booted. Personal integrity is key and this is the most important rule.

2. No promotions. Selling posts will be deleted. This is not a business group, however, sharing business successes of any kind is encouraged!

If you have any questions, PM Sara Martin.

WEEKLY THEMES: 

Monday: what do you want to create this week?

Tuesday Intuition: need some quick guidance? Pop your question here!

Wednesday: align your goals with who you are at soul level

Thursday: tune into the energy of your desire. Distill it down to ONE word or a very short phrase. 

Woo Friday: Ask Sara! 

Saturday/Sunday: If you’re trying to create a new result in a specific life area, you MUST take new action. Often, weekends are the most unstructured times we have, which we can utilize to undertake a new course of action. Are you doing something new and scary this weekend? Tell us all about it!

Why? because you aren’t able to see the connection between your pattern of choice (or unconscious choices), and the consequences of those choices. Before you have an understanding of how you’re making things happen and attracting circumstances, it can feel like you’re being punished by some mysterious higher power, or like your mother-in-law, ex husband/wife, or grown child is causing your problems, or events in your life are completely random and have no root cause and no meaning. That sucks!!

However, when you see yourself as the powerful divine creator you actually are, things begin to shift:

1. your relationship with your spirit guide team opens and grows
2. you know your soul-level gifts (and challenges) and can begin using those gifts
3. you see the consequences- positive and negative- of choices made

And, knowing yourself at this profound level enhances your self-love, because you see yourself in a whole new way: as the divine being you actually ARE.

If you’re ready to open to and see your divinity, go here to learn all the juicy details of what this amazing package includes. http://www.sarasmysticforest.com/akashic-empowerment-see-your-divinity.html
