Hello! Thank you for joining me here. The virtual world has made is so wonderfully easy to connect with each other. I'm delighted to meet you!
Who am I?
I'm Meredith Murphy and I'm a writer/blogger, philosopher and artist. You may know me better as the founder of Expect Wonderful. But is that really who I am? Ah, the great cosmic question. I am conscious of the awareness beyond my senses, beyond my thoughts, beyond this experience as Meredith, which changes everything. More accurately, I exist as a channel of divine light, which animates my body, creates my experience here and informs the way I live. Sound kinda woo-woo? Well science has shown us that all of life is energy. If you're new to this, you're in for a real treat, as beginning to discover these understandings is supremely empowering! As a fact, all of us have the same basic energy flowing into us and this makes the very experience of our life, one of channeling energy. The differences are simply a matter of how we understand this and what focus and creations are given our energy.
I'm interested in the fundamental (big) questions about life, like "why are we here and what does it all mean?" I am passionately inquiring within my own experience. I trust my own experience and that is the criteria for me of what's real and what I believe in. I encourage you to do the same. We're each intelligent, sentient beings capable of a direct experience of the sacred in life and of tapping our own inner resources for clarity, wisdom, guidance and energy. Learning to live this way is what's happening on the leading edge of spirituality, leadership, philosophy, quantum physics, alternative medicine, law of attraction principles, and many other domains of thought and practice in our world.
What you'll find here.
I share here my own experiences of feeling my way into an ever expanding understanding of these big questions and also the qualities of the energy I am experiencing and how I work with this. As energy we begin to realize we're affected by the layers of energy systems that we're connected to--our body systems, the planetary system, the galaxy, the cosmos. Interconnected with all of life, we begin to know and sense how solar flares, moody people, dense food and focusing on the future with worry or the past with sadness, all impact our energy in ways that can derail our happiness.
My intent in life, is to cultivate day-in-day out, that amazingly glorious inner-smile--the lasting, for no reason, joyful abundant connection with all that is that is the source of well being and happiness. To that end I avoid fields, jump fences and try all kinds of things and stick with what works. Here I share my explorations with all this. My intention is practical, grounded and real. I am a modern mystic--I'm not living on a hilltop, meditating in a cave--I live in Los Angeles and go to museums and the local flea market, while meditating and learning to be more happy, alive and free. I intend to experience a life of increasing ease, creativity, love, abundance, happiness and peace. I believe by creating peace in my own energy and my life, I not only experience this great joyous way of being, but I uplift everything that is. I believe your energy and focus do the same. I invite you to be embrace your power, and take responsibility for your energy and the way it affects you and everything in existence. (It's happening anyway--your energy and focus are affecting far more than you realize--so why not consciously empower yourself to shape it as you like?)
Here on my blog I get personal and write about what makes my energy soar. I share how I cultivate my groove; the energy of my life. I'm an enthusiastic, free spirit and I've learned to allow my energy to return there repeatedly. To do this requires us to get comfortable with change. Living in joy in my experience is a creative process of invention, re-invention and experimenting. Life changes. I change. I change. Life changes. Consider my sharing, as illuminating options for your own solo improvisation on the ascending energy arc.
Ascending Energy?
What is an ascending energy arc and why might you want to feel it and be there? It's an elevating energy which lifts us to a peak--which is always accompanied by insight and a certain kind of joyful elation when we see how to live better. It's what really inspires creativity--so as a writer/painter/poet it's my native turf. In human life, it's a sign we're in the flow of life, we're in a groove, we're on a roll, in essence it's the place (perspective) to be. When we pay attention to what creates these experiences, we can cultivate this and our energy will begin to hum, to evolve with momentum, and we'll experience expanded energy more and more of the time. We can also invite these experiences through focus/intention.
The energy on our planet is rising. This is a fact. Although it's not easy to explain the Schumann Frequency of our planet has and is rising. Many people who are living aware of their life as an energetic presence, are learning to cultivate their own energy, and this is also changing the energy on our planet. The underlying reason that so many things are falling apart and changing, in people's lives and in the world, is that the overall vibration is rising and what doesn't fit is dissolving. That's how energy works. If you begin to learn about this and your own energy, you will notice this for yourself.
My Pathways and Direct Experiences of Knowing.
On a more personal note, I live in Southern California, at the base of the San Gabriel mountains amidst sunshine and gorgegous trees and plants. I'm a huge lover of the world, and the beauty of music, books, food, art, film, people, architecture, design, the internet--the inspired ways we harmonize and embellish our experience.
I also am a deeply intuitive person. I have always been this way and in hindsight realize I had profound experiences of awakening when I was very young. I remember being about 8 years old and sitting on the front porch, alone, watching the rain, and feeling myself expand and become one with everything. I didn't think anything of it, because it happened a lot. I don't actually remember when it began and it's always been with me. I now understand more that this is unusual and yet because of how it happened for me, I tend to think of it as simply natural. I just know it felt and feels great and I continually return to this state of being and in doing so I am refreshed and fed.
So I have experienced the unity of all life personally and directly. It wasn't overhwelming or scary, it felt entirely natural and spacious.
A few years ago, I opened further and became a conscious channel, receiving telepathic messages from my higher selves as well as angels, ascended masters, and other energies of light and love. In my professional life I was a career coach; consulted with organizations and executives on leadership, communication and change; led teams of training and organizational development and facilitated stratetic planning and offsite retreats. I did much of this when I was quite young and was very successful and well regarded in my work. I have to give the credit to the Universe though. In all these situations, as well as when I paint and write, I realize now, that I have been channeling. I simply focus with love and intent and then things come to me--a kind of direct knowing. I hear things. I suddenly know exactly what to do or say. It flows through me. I have had the great pleasure of sharing insights and wisdom far beyond my human life here as Meredith with many others and seen great freedom, change, exhilaration and relief as these gifts of knowing were applied in life.
Part of my work now is as a conscious channel, what has been historically called an Oracle. I connect through Archangel Michael and then to many other energies and entitites, accessing energy fields and receiving transmissions which come in packets of information and energy which I translate--either verbally or in writing, transmitting energy in the process.
It may seem strange that a practical girl from Michigan, who advised executives from Fortune 500 companies such as Amoco and Disney, now lives in California and openly admits to channeling. {smile} Well believe me, I felt this way too in the beginning. But like everything I've experienced directly, I trust it.
Self-Trust Opens You to Expansion.
In doing so, I've deepened my own self-confidence and also expanded my sense of what is possible for all of us. Life is far bigger then we understand and more curious as well. I've chosen to be loyal to what's true and real in my experience, regardless of what old ideas or dogma it may contradict. If we're willing to explore anything that enters our experience, we can determine for ourself what is real, what is useful, what is alive and what is not. This discernment is important on all levels of life--from knowing what to eat to nourish our body, to knowing who to date and what beings to channel. Learning to trust ourselves opens us up to infinite expansion with ease and in a way we can count on.
Who's Directing Your Life?
In essence, I am continually updating my lifestyle to reflect what I realize about the nature of being and reality so it syncs up and is in alignment with my own leading edge--what I call the Ideafrontier. I am the ultimate authority on my experience. Are you?
This ongoing evolution and learning, continual expansion and expression is the nature of aliveness. We're all essentially on this journey--but do we claim it and take the reins? If you're doing that I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences. I share so that my explorations and the passages I move through are visible and available if they're useful to someone else. I offer ideas and reminders of how simple it is to feel good and wonderful it is to participate in life. If you're not yet living this way, if it feels overwhelming or you're not sure where to start, perhaps some of these sharings will attune you energetically with this approach and illuminate some pathways you may wish to explore. I believe our true nature, is eternal, limitless and in essence love: luminous being!
Perhaps, given all that, it's time to expect more...?
