From you all things emerge,
And unto you all things return.

Touch our bodies and our minds

Of Fire meeting Earth …
The Wind on the Ocean
And the sweet kiss of Life …

It’s already meant for you. You have to start accepting this as your truth. Things are getting very clear for you. You are starting to really see that you’re meant for greatness. You might have been getting so many signs and seeing how everything is all connected. Each moment you’re being reminded of who you truly are and what vast potential you already have. It starts off by wanting better for yourself. Then you make the inner changes by setting your intentions. Even doing that is you already knowing what you have access to. This is your true power you were already born with. You’re experiencing so many synchronicities, alignments, and signs that truly show you how powerful your thoughts are. This initially comes off as out of this world or just a feeling of joy that fills your heart and body.

You can’t really explain it all to anyone because you’re the one fully experiencing it in real time all the time. Sometimes it makes you speechless and puts you in a state of deep gratitude for how precious and miraculous life truly is. Day by day as you start to evolve, invest in yourself, and be present enough to recognize yourself, you will open your heart and mind further to allow blessings and many possibilities to happen for you. A new you will emerge. New being a state of awareness which you always had but recognized. It’s all a reminder of what you already know. Start feeling good right now about this. Start smiling and thinking of the possibilities. Even a single thought starts changing everything for you. Don’t doubt anything right now. Just feel, allow, and welcome your blessings. Trust yourself. Feel everything out. Your feelings will guide you. Trust your intuition and be ready for your wildest dreams to manifest.

Current Events | Warnings of ‘Volcanic Tsunami’ After Eruption in the Philippines

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

The Taal Volcano has erupted Sunday Morning and the cause is thought to be hydro-thermal in nature. In Batangas, an interview on Dobol B sa News TV states that the phreatic eruption was said to be recorded at around 11am. Three hours later a much stronger explosion was recorded, and more than one kilometer of ash was spewed into the sky.

Alert Level 1 didn’t last long, as officials quickly made the decision to raise the alert level to Level 2. This simply means that there will be a probability of a magmatic intrusion which could possibly lead to an eruption.

Three earthquakes were recorded at 7:35am, 10:43am, and 14:00pm Philippines Time Zone.
