Writing a Tale of Our Future

I believe the future is not yet written. We are writing it now, in the present moment. We write it with our conscious intentions and with our subconscious thoughts and beliefs. We activate our future with the focused attention of our awareness. We launch it into manifestation with our emotional vibration. Each belief has a vibration. We feel it in our bodies. Yes or No?....on or off?.....truth or lie? As more and more of us take spiritual responsibility for our beliefs and experiences we will transmute the energy of our lower-self patterns. The collective, creative mind will always respond according to our vibration. Collectively, each and every one of us is writing the future. I believe we are co creators.
What do you believe?

BTW

I started a new blog: "It Really Galls Me" dedicated to my journey from disease to radiant health. It's been fascinating in just the first three weeks. Come check it out: http://fromdiseasetoease.blogspot.com/

Ghost Busting

I'm a full service psychic medium with a service I'm rarely called out to do. Maddie called last week to ask if I could help a friend of hers who is living in a house where some very strange things are going on. Lights, radios and microwaves are turning on all by themselves. Things are flying off of shelves and the room where her 2 year old sleeps is always cold. Woo-hoo! Ghost Busting! This is always a fun little aspect of my work.

I arrived before noon and read the energy lines around the house. I came in and took a tour around their home as they told me about all of the incidences. As it turned out, the old man died in the house he'd lived in for many years. His house was sold but he never left. After the walk around, he and I had a chat. I cleared the little girls room and returned to talk to the adults. As I began to tell them what I had learned about their "visitor" the pictures on the wall across from me flipped up off of the wall. Ooooooh. It's a good thing Halloween is over. I saged the house and we did a prayer treatment. I got an email today from the family thanking me....the house is warm and quiet now. This right here is the good stuff. Heck, it's all good stuff.

Update on Jan

I was in Phoenix last week and drove over to the beautiful care facility Jan is in. She was in a terrible car accident a year ago and has suffered severe brain damage. She is in a semi vegetative state. I was asked to work with her two months ago and her improvement is substantial. Her body is beginning to relax with the work being done at her new home. She communicates with her eyes and facial expressions. I, however, communicate telepathically with her. She was adamant when she said, "Leave me alone!" She was in the middle of physical therapy which is often painful for her. Her muscles are constricted still so stretching requires her full attention. I worked with Jan and her therapist using guided visualization to relax her muscles and it worked very well. She's obviously hearing me and responding. I had hoped to see more improvement in her ability to speak but all she said was, "Ouch". I will continue Reiki with her and hope to see her at Christmas.

Chief Arvol

As Keeper of our Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe Bundle, I am concerned for the 2 deaths and illnesses of the many people that participated in a sweat lodge in Sedona, Arizona that brought our sacred rite under fire in the news. I would like to clarify that this lodge and many others, are not our ceremonial way of life, because of the way they are being conducted. My prayers go out for their families and loved ones for their loss.

Our ceremonies are about life and healing, from the time this ancient ceremonial rite was given to our people, never has death been a part of our inikag¹a (life within) when conducted properly. Today the rite is interpreted as a sweat lodge, it is much more than that. So the term does not fit our real meaning of purification.

Inikag¹a is the oldest ceremony brought to us by Wakan Tanka (Great Spirit). 19 generations ago, the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Oyate (people), were given seven sacred rites of healing by a Spirit Woman Pte San Win (White Buffalo Calf Woman). She brought these rites along with our sacred C¹anupa (pipe) to our People, when our ancestors were suffering from a difficult time. It was also brought for the future to help us for much more difficult times to come. They were brought to help us stay connected to who we are as a traditional cultural People. The values of conduct are very strict in any of these ceremonies, because we work with spirit. The way the Creator, Wakan Tanka told us; that if we stay humble and sincere, we will keep
that connection with the inyan oyate (the stone people), who we call the grandfathers, to be able to heal our selves and loved ones. We have a ³gift² of prayer and healing and have to stay humble with our Unc¹i Maka (Grandmother Earth) and with one another. The inikag¹a is used in all of the seven sacred rites to prepare and finish the ceremonies, along with the sacred eagle feather. The feather represents the sacred knowledge of our ancestors.

Our First Nations People have to earn the right to pour the mini wic¹oni (water of life) upon the inyan oyate (the stone people) in creating Inikag¹a - by going on the vision quest for four years and four years Sundance. Then you are put through a ceremony to be painted - to recognize that you have now earned that right to take care of someone¹s life through purification. They should also be able to understand our sacred language, to be able to understand the messages from the Grandfathers, because they are ancient, they are our spirit ancestors. They walk and teach the values of our culture; in being humble, wise, caring and compassionate.

What has happened in the news with the make shift sauna called the sweat lodge is not our ceremonial way of life!

When you do ceremony - you can not have money on your mind. We deal with the pure sincere energy to create healing that comes from everyone in that circle of ceremony. The heart and mind must be connected. When you involve money, it changes the energy of healing. The person wants to get what they paid for; the Spirit Grandfathers will not be there, our way of life is now being exploited! You do more damage then good. No² mention² of monetary energy should exist in healing, not even with a can of love donations. When that energy exists, they will not even come. Only Œafter¹ the ceremony, between the person that is being healed and the Intercessor who has helped connect with the Great Spirit, the energy of money can be given out of
appreciation. That exchange of energy is from the heart; it is private and does not involve the Grandfathers! Whatever gift of appreciation the person who received the help, can now give the Intercessor what ever they feel their healing is worth.

In our Prophesy of the White Buffalo Calf Woman, she told us that she would return and stand upon the earth when we are having a hard time. In 1994 this began to happen with the birth of the white buffalo, not only their nation, but many animal nations began to show their sacred color, which is white. She predicted that at this time there would be many changes upon Grandmother Earth. There would be things that we never experienced or heard of before; climate changes, earth changes, diseases, disrespect for life and one another would be shocking and there would be also many false prophets!

My Grandmother that passed the bundle to me said I would be the last Keeper if the Oyate (people) do not straighten up. The assaults upon Grandmother Earth are horrendous, the assaults toward one another was not in our culture, the assaults against our People (Oyate) have been termed as genocide, and now we are experiencing spiritual genocide!

Because of the problems that began to arise with our rebirth of being able to do our ceremonies in the open since the Freedom of Religion Act of 1978, our Elders began talking to me about the abuses they seen in our ceremonial way of life, which was once very strict. After many years of witnessing their warnings, we held a meeting to address this very issue of lack of protocol in our ceremonies. After reaching an agreement of addressing the misconduct of our ceremonies and reminding of the proper protocols, a statement was made in March 2003. Every effort was made to insure our
way of life of who we are as traditional cultural People was made, because these ways are for our future and all life upon the Grandmother Earth (Mitakuye Oyasin All my relations), so that they may have good health. Because these atrocities are being mocked and practiced all over the world, there was even a film we made called
³Spirits for Sale².

The non-native people have a right to seek help from our ³First Nation Intercessors² for good health and well-being, it is up to that Intercessor. That is a privilege for all People that we gift for being able to have good health and understand that their protocol is to have respect and appreciate what we have to share. The First Nations Intercessor has to earn that right to our ceremonial way of life in the ways I have explained.

At this time, I would like to ask all Nations upon Grandmother Earth to please respect our sacred ceremonial way of life and stop the exploitation of our Tunka Oyate (Spiritual Grandfathers).

In a Sacred Hoop of Life, where there is no ending and no beginning!

Namah¹u yo (hear my words),
Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White
Buffalo Calf Pipe Bundle.

We live in a multi-dimensional, holographic universe thus we have within us, all the parts of the whole. We are, by nature, holistic. Not simply, mind, body and spirit, but universal particles of light that create the all that is.....

Like a piece of apple pie has all the ingredients of the whole pie.....

When our brains seek a memory, it tunes into the memory that resides in the holographic field. The memory doesn't exist in the cells of the brain, the brain is like a radio receiver and tunes into the memory. When our brain gets knocked around our tuner can be damaged and unable to tune itself the frequency needed to receive information. Isn't that fascinating? Latest brain research is amazing.

Jan

Since we began working with Reiki and psychic energy to assist Jan, asking her questions and listening to her communicate her spiritual desires, she has been moved to a new facility. She now is clearly stating that she is willing to participate in her recovery. Her body is unfolding and she seems to be awakening. I continue with regular distant healing and I've been to her new home for hands on work.

We are remarkable healers each of us.

Jan

Jan, a 51 year old female, was in a tragic car accident last year and she suffered a sever brain injury and she's been unable to communicate since that day and her body has contracted. Her family contacted me a few weeks ago when her doctors informed them that the insurance company will no longer pay for her hospital stay. The doctors suggested, strongly, to send her to a hospice facility in order to let her go, which would mean stop feeding her or giving her liquids. Within a few days she would be gone. Her family wanted to know if I could contact her spirit and ask her if she wanted to stay or was she ready to leave her body for her next journey.

On my first distant visit with Jan she turned her back on me. She didn't want to communicate at all. She had a field of energy around her that was keeping her in a state of being that was neither here nor there. The intuitive messages I got about her were clear that she could go either way but she just hadn't made up her mind. If she decided to return fully to this here and now, physical reality, fully present and connected to all of her senses, she absolutely could. This, of course, was good news to her family, however, Jan still had to decide.

We made an agreement. I told her I would assist her with Reiki energy work to help her return if she should decide to but the decision was finally hers. I offered her a vision of what her future here would look like if she should choose to return which simply offered up a bit of inspiration.

Many questions were asked and we worked on deleting some of the emotional baggage that she was holding onto from her previous life before the "accident". She was holding a great deal of anger and resentment from her past. We worked on forgiveness and healing her heart.

It seemed important to do some hands-on work with Jan so I flew to her city and met her face to face. Our sessions in the hospital made it very clear to me that she was ready to make a decision. After four sessions she made great improvements. She made eye contact with me, and when we worked on forgiveness she wept.

It's clear to me that Jan is ready to participate in her recovery. I'll keep you posted.

9/12/09

For months I've been getting information about 9/12 being a significant date. I didn't know if something was going to happen that would create a huge wave of media attention or if it would be a simple blip barely registering a change in our awareness. Not 9/11 and not 9/09 but 9/12.

I reveived dozens of emials about 9/09/09 being a day to meditate for world peace and emails remembering that terrible day, 9/11/01, but nothing about the 12th. But everytime I looked through my intuitive window, there it was, September 12th. So, what happened yesterday that so important? I don't think it was anything about Mercury in retrograde, or Macy's sale. I've scoured the news websites for anything that would mark the date but,...nothing...except....the economic downturn has stabalized. The first good news about the economy...things are turning around. Woo-hoo.

Kids are doing great!

I'm heading to Phoenix in the morning on business and hope to see the kids while I'm there. They're both doing great!

Where In The Universe Are We?

The answer to that is, "right here."

In a galaxy of billions of stars, planets and moons, Earth circles the Milky Way every 250,000 years. It is spinning around the Solar System every 365 days, rotating on its axis every 24 hours, moving above and below the galactic equator every 150,000 years, with the precision of which can be timed and measured down to the second. Ages and ages of Earth's and mankind's evolution are documented by geologists, archaeologists and astronomers, and predicted by sages and prophets. And here we are, as predicted, closing in on the year 2010, hundreds of thousands of years since our first appearance on this globe, sitting on the edge of an evolutionary leap in consciousness.

Where are we? What are we learning? When will we awaken? How will it look when we do? Who will lead us out of our old paradigm of 'self'ish thinking and into 'self'less thinking before our planet begins another cycle?

We see, everyday, on the news, the greed and selfish thinking that took us to the brink of an economic collapse. The 'me, mine, and my' perspective drives the denial of health care reform and the resistance to idea that we are all ONE. 'Me, mine and my' thoughts drive the scandalous and criminal behavior of govenors, senators and our own brothers and sisters. Addictions and dysfunctions govern the fearful. This old thinking has nearly depleted Earhts resources so we fight wars and kill each other for the last drops of oil and water.

We are here. We are here in this soup of fear and anger, judgment and blame, unkowingly creating more of the same.

My healers class always begins with, "A healer must meet people in the reality they believe in." We are here, flying through the Universe on a planet that can no longer sustain our mindlessness and believing we have the right to continue the same thinking and action that led us to this critical moment. We think our reality is the only reality.

The air that we breathe, the food that we eat, the water that we drink comes from the seasons, cycles and rhythms of Mother Earth and that governs our lives yet, we continue to think its all about our personal experience of survival. Now is the time to awaken from that old way of being before our planet kicks us off, like the parasites we have become.

What we learn, when we learn it and how our lives will look when we do may not be a choice. But, how we manage our lives and our emotions, is.

The timing of Earths rotation and cycles matters to our timing because of how energy effects our ability to change. We are affected by her seasons and her relative movements through space through a system of bioenergetics. Energies strengthen and weaken in cycles and we are influenced by the energies of other planets and stars. These changes occur regularly and we can predict them. Cosmic forces effect sub-atomic activity and vice verse.

Here we sit, on the edge of a great shift as we complete the galactic cycle. How will it look when we get to the other side depends on you and how you manage your energy. It depends on me and how I manage mine. It depends on US. We are not without power to use this time to shift the fear, anger and blame and the "me, mine, and my" mentality to the "We, Us and Ours" perspective. Only then can we hope to move into the next cycle with Light, Love and Compassion.

There is nothing that cannot be healed.....

Last year Marlie's doctor told Shanon that she believed Marlie has a genetic syndrome called Soto Syndrome. When we looked it up online it made sense. Her rapid growth, low tone muscles, even the shape of her eyes and her delayed language development are all symptoms of this syndrome. One would think that if there is a glitch in one's genes that's it, there's nothing you can do. We were taught in High School science that our genes are the blue print of our bodies and there's nothing we can do about it. Well, I'm not one of those who believe such nonsense.

Dr. Bruce Lipton wrote a book, "The Biology of Beliefs" and in it he shares the latest scientific research on genes. Genes are not stagnet. They respond to proteins and proteins respond to beliefs. It's all so fascinating. More than that....our DNA affects the Universal Field. It's much more than I can explain or write about here...if you're interested go get his book.

So, I did a process to affect Marlie's DNA. I wanted to bring balance and harmony of her perfect genetic expression. Well, Shanon just left me a message. Marlie's genetic tests came back negative. She doesn't have Soto Syndrome.

We are amazing creations and we've only begun to recognize the power of our abilities. There is nothing we cannot heal. There is nothing we cannot overcome.

Next class begins Sept. 9th at 7pm Pacific Time. I'm, once again, rewriting the workbook and creating new CDs for meditation. I have a wonderful personal assistant who has experience with editing and recording and I LOVE her. Just think, it was only two years ago when I made the decision to do this full time. I asked my spirit team for a manager, a bookeeper, a personal assistant and a housekeeper. They've all arrived.

“No one is free whose mind is not like a door with a double-acting hinge swinging outward to release their own ideas and inward to receive the worthy thoughts of others.”



Two graduates of my class sent me an email.

Elizabeth,

Thank so much for sharing this. What an AWESOME story of our teams at work for us every second of every day. I now notice these things everyday in my life. Everyday there is positive evidence in my life. Every single day! I did not realize all the positive evidence in my life until I worked with you. The universe provides every second of every day.

My brother Todd, as you know, had a very massive heart attack. While Jen and I were there all of last week, Jen performed Reike on my brother while he laid there. While she did that, I was on the other side of the bed holding my brother’s hand and doing a very concentrated 'feel it' on him. As we did this, I felt both of my hands become VERY warm and felt the heat rise from the bottom my back to the top of my back. When doing the 'feel it', I was concentrated on my brother’s heart..it was in pain and ached a lot. It was tired, it was not wanting to work anymore.
When we performed this, our intention was for “the greater good of Todd and his family”

This entire process lasted maybe 5 minutes with Jen and I…of course the feel it was only about a minute at best. Jen and I left my brother to rest and we did not think much more about it after doing this.

As of Wednesday this week, my brother is up walking, talking and eating regular food. They did some tests and an echo on his heart yesterday. They could not find any damage to his heart from the heart attack. The Doctors are stunned and so is everyone else involved in his treatment. They are anticipating discharging him on Monday!!!! Obviously, Jen and I know why and how my brother was healed. We felt this in our hearts and our teams guided us to take action. Keep in mind my brother coded 8 different times and was shocked back to life 3 different times. He was on life support for over a week. When we arrived, his outlook was very bleak. The doctors also told us that he blew out the 2 valves on the right side of his heart and that he blew out the entire right side of his heart. They were not confident in his long term health with regard to the damage done.

Everyone is calling this a miracle. Jen and I know it’s the power we all hold in us.

The work you do is beyond important….it is critical during this shift and cleansing. WE LOVE YOU AND WE THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

My apologies for the extended absence. I've been working on a few projects. If you've been reading this blog for long, you know that I'm a high energy person. I always have projects going. This month I supervised the construction of a pedestrian bridge on our property. Now I'm taking on remodeling a bathroom. I will be using my brand new, still in the box, sewing machine to make curtains for my bedroom. I'm simultaneously managing the exterior painting project which I've been dragging my heels on. Last Sunday my sisters and I gave my niece a baby shower and I spent the Fourth of July in Phoenix with my daughter and grandkids. Which brings me to this post. Oh yeah, and this coming weekend is the executive leadership retreat. I'll be presenting four hours of work on Saturday. I guess I'd better prepare for that....

But, I have something else on my mind. I have Marlie Elizabeth on my mind.
She is now two and a half years old. She recovered physically from her heart surgery, when she was born, but the trauma of that and the subsequent pain from an infection caused her to disassociate from her body, as you can see from the photo above. The globe of light above her her head is actually her spirit. One night we got a call from her grandparents who live down the street. Veronica was a bit frantic because Carlos had seen a spirit in their home during dinner and it was so intense he actually got up from the table to go search the house for it. Knowing what I do for a living they called me to see if I could find out who was there. I grabbed my bag of tools and walked on over. It was Marlie. In the early days she often left her body to go traveling. I told her to get herself home right then and get back into her body and stay there, which is pretty much what she does now.

She is now grounded in her body but the doctors suspect she has Sotos Syndrome. This is what the internet says about Sotos Syndrome:


What is Sotos Syndrome?

Sotos syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by excessive physical growth during the first few years of life. Children with Sotos syndrome tend to be large at birth and are often taller, heavier, and have larger heads (macrocrania) than is normal for their age. Symptoms of the disorder, which vary among individuals, include a disproportionately large and long head with a slightly protrusive forehead, large hands and feet, hypertelorism (an abnormally increased distance between the eyes), and down-slanting eyes. The disorder is often accompanied by mild mental retardation; delayed motor, cognitive, and social development; hypotonia (low muscle tone), and speech impairments. Clumsiness, an awkward gait, and unusual aggressiveness or irritability may also occur. Although most cases of Sotos syndrome occur sporadically (meaning they are not inherited), familial cases have also been reported.

What is the prognosis?

Sotos syndrome is not a life-threatening disorder and patients may have a normal life expectancy. The initial abnormalities of Sotos syndrome usually resolve as the growth rate becomes normal after the first few years of life. Developmental delays may improve in the school-age years, and adults with Sotos syndrome are likely to be within the normal range for intellect and height. However, coordination problems may persist into adulthood.

Marlie doesn't talk yet. She can say "Hi" and something that resembles "yes" but that's about it. She uses some sign language to get her needs met. She has a physical therapist, a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, and me. She is outgrowning her size 4T summer clothes already.

I am asking all of my students reading this to assist me in an experiment in healing. The positive effects of our energetically aligned group can only do wonderful things. Please ask her to join you in your sacred temple meditations. See her well, happy, dancing, singing, in perfect balance with all that is. The universe feels your love and responds. Marlie will feel it and the energy will effect the protien in her body. Our genes respond to the energy and movement of protein and proteins respond to vibrations of energy. Hold a space for Marlie that is full of Light and Love. Know she is already in perfect vibration. See her already healed and restored to perfect harmony and balance in her body, mind, heart and soul.

Children know this languange of vibrations, adults have forgotten. Babies are born knowing this language of heart based vibration. They have not made decisions or judgements, they have no labels or names to create doubt or fear. Marlie is like a sponge. She will receive your love without question or doubt. Doubt is all that separates the child's mind from the adult mind. Trust that as you experience the vibration of love in your heart, you can send it anywhere you put your attention. Your heartbased vibration affects the electromagnetic field of the earth. Satellites,200 miles above the earth can measure the power of our heartbased group conscious attention.

Nature's Mind, or the Holographic Field, Quantum Hologram, the Divine Matrix....a rose by any other name.....

Summer Solstice

Since before recorded history mankind has told stories of the Gods and Goddesses ruling the natural forces of earth. As days grew longer and shorter in accordance with the natural rhythms and cycles of our universe, the ancient storytellers from every continent, culture and country from the Mayans, the Celts, Greeks, Romans and Jews, created worshippers of the Sun. The longest day of the year 2009 is this Sunday. For those who understand the energetic ebb and flow of the planets and stars it is a day for celebration. The longest day of light gives us an amplified growth opportunity. Not just for vegetation, flowers and crops but for our inner growth as well. Using the Sun's energy to assist the amplification of our intentions, like the seeds we plant in the Earth, we plant seeds of thought in the fertile field of the Divine Matrix. There will be celebrations all over the northern hemisphere that date back thousands of years. Dancing, music, feasts and prayers send out a vibration of gratitude of the seasons and cycles of life itself. Join the party by opening your heart to the Sun and communicate your passion for an abundant world for all of mankind.

Here is an ancient Hindu mantra or prayer known as the Gayatri. Address the sun in this fashion:

You, who are the source of all power,
Whose rays illuminate the whole world,
Illuminate also my heart
So that it too can do Your work.

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him." ~Buddha


“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” ~Jesus

Virtues and Values

If you were going to pack your bags for a trip to another world, what are the values and virtues you would like to bring with you? Is it honesty? Harmony? Compassion? Acceptance? Would you pack courage and integrity? How about love?

We are at a remarkable time in our evolution and we have a chance to plant the seeds of our intentions for the harvest that is coming. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Since the 60s when we sang, "All the world needs now is love, sweet love." and "Love is all there is." we have kept that message in our hearts. We marched for equality, freedom and peace. The Summer of Love was more than just sex drugs and rock 'n roll. We planted the seeds for the new age. We grew up, we grew older, and we grew wiser. Now it is time to reap what we sowed all those years ago.

What do you value? Family? Relationships? Community? Spirituality? I encourage all of my students to write me a letter from the perspective of their future self. I ask them to tell me how the are feeling in their new life and the letters I get back are all about joy, health, abundance, acceptance, love.

What would you pack in your bags for the future world?

Channeled information

Hi everyone,

I've been doing readings for many years and the information that has come through in the past four or five years seems to be a universal message. Many mystics, psychics and clairvoyants are saying that their messages are also the same. Here is a channeled message I received this morning. I thought it was well written and is consistant with the messages I get from Quan Yin.


Dear Ones,

The time fast approaches when the energy of light that you have all requested will fill your lives with radiance and homecoming. How can this be you may ask when so much of my life right now is filled with discord and upset? How can this be when finances are so difficult and relationships so strained? How can this be when all that I feel is alone and desolate?
>
>This is a time of birth dear one. Those of you who have had the experience of bringing a new life into the earth know that there is pain and contraction and difficulty breathing. Occasionally, there is also the feeling that death would be preferable to what feels like your own death accompanied by intense and relentless pain.
>
>Courage, dear ones, the birth is nearly done. During the last hours of 6/20, the old will be shed and as 6/21 dawns, there will be a new creation for all to know and celebrate. Those of you who remember the Harmonic Convergence of 1987 may recall how much energy and light arrived during those days. That time began this long process and we are now at the moment of Birthing the New Earth.
>
>One of the benchmarks of this time is the shift from mass consciousness that has been quite unconscious to what I will call "Majority consciousness" which will be quite conscious. A deep clarity and understanding of Oneness will now rule the way that most of you will create, the way that you choose, the way that you live, and most importantly the way that you love.
>
>No longer will it be conditional, self serving, greed driven and fear based. You will see the world as I do. You will see a place where every thought and every choice affects the quality of life of everyone. You will know that just as John Lennon told you so long ago, "The love you take is equal to the love you make."

June gloom after May gray gets a bit old here at the beach. It's cold, dark and damp in the mornings here and it doesn't burn off until afternoon and only for an hour or two. Yawn! It's time for a Phoenix run.

Michael, my grandson, turned six years old last week and I wasn't there. This is the first birthday I have missed. He called with great excitement to tell me all about his special day with Mom and Dad at an amusement park. This is how the conversation went:

Grandma! I'm six now! I get six candles on my birthday cake. That means I get to have six wishes!

Really? Wow Michael. That's so exciting.

Yes it is. Do you want to know my first wish? It is that you and I can play together everyday, all day long, forever.

OMG! How much do I love this child?

The Global Shift Is Upon Us.

I went to Barnes and Noble for some research on something I'm writing and came across a book, "Global Shift" by Edmund J. Bourne, PH.D. The back cover says this:

"Toward a deeper understanding of ourselves and our world....
A remarkable change is taking place that will profoundly influence the way we see ourselves and our world. The dominant materialistic, separatist worldview--a perspective that leads individuals to value their own needs over the good of the whole--is giving way to a humanitarian-spiritual orientation. This shift will revolutionize both the way humanity interacts on a global scale and how we live on a day-to-day basis.

Global Shift explores the roots of such current planetary crises as climate change, diminishing resources, poverty, and disease, and explains how a new convergence of scientific research and spiritual insight is propelling us toward a more enlightened future. It also presents a call to actions we can implement now, such as voluntary simplicity, nonviolent communication, caring for our bodies, and inclusive global thinking, that can foster personal healing and bring our lives into alignment with the needs of the planet and a conscious universe."

Pretty much says it all.

Quan Yin

During a reading a few years ago, a beautiful spirit appeared, a female energy of Light and Love and so much compassion that when she was present I almost wanted to cry. She held a lotus flower in her hands. At the time I didn't understand her name so I called her Lotus Lady. I now know her to be Quan Yin. She is one of the most universally beloved of deities in the Buddhist tradition. The fact that I am not a religious person may have been why I did not recognize her. It is said that she is the embodiment of compassionate loving kindness, healing and mercy. Quan Yin enjoys a strong resonance with the Christian Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and the Tibetan goddess Tara. Quan Yin, as a true Enlightened One, or Bodhisattva, vowed to remain in the earthly realms and not enter the heavenly worlds until all other living things have completed their own enlightenment.

She is with me during all of my readings now.

Along Came A Secondary

There I was, minding my own business, when POW! I got hit over the head with a giant secondary. For those of you unfamiliar with the definition of a secondary, it is a previously created primary. What is a primary you ask? It is a belief or intention. When we say, "Yes, that's true." to a statement we hear, we activate it in our expanded awareness as a primary belief. That's all well and good until you come along and create something new that may be in conflict with that primary. Let's say, for instance, you heard your momma say, "Life is hard." so many times that you agreed to it. You said, "Yes, that must be true. Life IS hard." So, running on a meridian of energy is this creation called, "Life is hard." It runs in the background of your mind as a primary until....one day...you decide that you're sick and tired of life being so hard and you want life to be fun, or peaceful, or happy or easy. So, you say during your meditations, as a mantra, "Life is peaceful...I am peaceful..my life is easy." Ooops. There's an instant conflict. Running in the background is that sneaky primary that has now become a secondary. Your new primary intention is, "Life is easy." The secondary, "Life is hard." reasserts itself. Suddenly you are bombarded with all of your "Life is hard." perceptions. That's what happened to me.

I've been absent from this blog for sometime now. I've been exploring my subconscious mind, searching for the secondaries that were blocking my new primary. Sometimes they seem completely transparent and create an experience of feeling lost or confused or separated from Spirit. Finding oneself on the wrong highway in the middle of a creation one doesn't remember creating causes resistance to experiencing what is. Taking responsibility for our experiences allows them to flow. Loving what is happening, even if it sucks, frees the creation up to move along. But, when we resist, it persists. That's what I did. I resisted and resisted and resisted. The more blocked I became, the more frustrating my life became. I ran into walls, felt physically ill, created a drama or two, until....POW! I remembered to ask my inner coach to show me the truth. "What belief to I hold in my expanded awareness that is creating this experience?" Low and behold. It works everytime, you just have to remember stop resisting and ask.

We hold millions upon millions of false beliefs in our unconscious mind. Ideas passed down from generation to generation, from mother to daughter, to granddaughters. We don't question them, we accept them as truths, we allow them to run the show and we repeat them often. "That's just how men are." "That just how women are." "You can't trust government." "Money doesn't come easy you know." All of that junk clogs up the mind, the body and prevents us from fully expressing our truth, our authentic selves.

So, I am very happy to announce that I'M BACK! It took some digging, but I back.
Let the party begin!

A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY


On the surface of the world right now there is
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You wont see us on the TV
You wont read about us in the newspaper
You wont hear about us on the radio
We don't seek any glory
We don't wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes
in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,
in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street
and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that joy gets spread
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night
is where the real work takes place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world
with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking
Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Jokes - Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...
We each express ourselves in our own unique ways
with our own unique gifts and talents
We are the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the
power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates
shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You don't have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have
All are welcome
The door is always open

Good Morning Mother

It is a beautiful morning here in Redondo Beach, California. The sky is blue, the sun is shining and the temperature is holding steady at 70 degrees. My garden patios have all been planted with colorful flowers and each one is blooming nicely. The birds are thrilled with the new bird feeder and the squirrels are searching out the peanuts I've left for them. I live in paradise.

I've been absent from this blog and all the others for over a month. In that time I celebrated my birthday, I drove to Phoenix for a wonderful love fest with my grandchildren, and I visited the new and improved Griffith Park Observatory. I've done all of my spring cleaning, with the exception of one last job on the list. The garage. Aside from all of that, I am teaching my classes, doing readings, planning retreats and workshops and caring for my mother. She is the subject I wish to write about today.

I have three older sisters who live within a two mile radius of me, which is a great comfort and help with regards to caring for our mother. Most of my regular readers know by now that my mother and I live together and have for twenty years, since my father died. She was diagnosed with dementia and macular degeneration several years ago. So, losing her mind and her vision simultaneously has presented my sisters and I with more than a few challenges this month. Mother can no longer remember to take her medications and she's been told to start using a four pronged cane to steady her tendency to imbalance. She cannot be left alone for more than 90 minutes and never before she's been well fed so that she won't try to use the kitchen stove. She's to wear dark glasses when in the sun and our house is all sun. I just counted the windows in this room. There are twelve of them and the largest ones are on the south side of the house. We get all day, bright, hot sun in our living and dining rooms which is, seriously, the worst thing for macular degeneration. Next week I will meet with three window treatment companies to install motorized blinds to block out the light. I have also called a designer, the one who designed our gorgeous kitchen five years ago, to start a design for the master bathroom so Mother won't have to step over anything to get into the shower.

My grandfather, great-grandfather and aunt were completely blind in their old age. My sister Vicky has the first signs of the same condition. It takes years to progress and there are things one can do to slow it down. Nutrition plays a large part as does weight control and exercise. Dammit. There's no getting around it is there? LOL.

I have been teaching, for many years now, that all of our experiences are created by our beliefs. I've been watching my mother and trying to evaluate the beliefs she holds that have created her experience of old age. These are the beliefs I recognise as my mother's primary reality:

1. "Senior Citizen" means "mentally retarded. When she first became a senior citizen she was furious and refused to accept it. For the first few years she refused to ask for a senior discount, until one day at the movie theater. She walked up to the ticket window and said, "I'd like a ticket to the 2 o'clock movie....for ...um you know......
And she blanked out. She couldn't even say, "Senior Citizen" or "Senior discount." Instead, she put her index finger to the side of her head and spun it around as we do to indicate "nuts" and said, "OH, you know.... for the mentally retarded." That story has brought many laughs over the past twenty years but it shows what her belief about old age was. To her, people of a certain age were nuts, or stupid or retarded. She refused to join groups or clubs for people her own age because, "I don't want to be around a lot of old people." They're old and she's....um.....I guess not old?

2. Whenever we would share a story or joke that my mother found distasteful or negative she would close her eyes and say, "I don't want to hear that." or, "I don't want to see that." Her resistance to anything negative was a message to her body. "I don't want to see it or hear it." Her hearing loss is significant and if you've read down to this part, you know she's legally blind.

3. "I'm always healthy." And she is. Her doctors are amazed. Physically speaking, her heart is strong, her lungs are clear, her bones are like steel, she's healthy. No cancer, no heart disease, not even a little. Well, she takes a mild blood pressure pill and for precaution a cholesterol pill. At 89, that's pretty good. Oh, she also takes something for her dementia but physically? she's great. She may live to be 110.

4. "I'm so curious about how it's all going to turn out." Her curiosity about tomorrow and the future in general keeps her waking each morning with gusto. "What is the day going to bring?" She reads the paper everyday, with the help of a magnifying glass, and she watches the news. She may not remember what she read or saw but the process of the moment of knowledge and information keeps her present.

Even her memory loss has it's advantages. When she got the news about having to use a cane and dark glasses and perhaps having to move downstairs to another bedroom she was very upset. She's extremely vain and stubborn and refused to buy the cane. Her eyes got teary and I'm sure her blood pressure went up with her anger about the whole line of crap that stupid doctor was giving us. That's what she thinks. "He's a quack. He doesn't know what he's talking about. I can see just fine. I'm fine." To calm her I took her to dinner at our favorite Mexican Restaurant for a Margarita and enchiladas rancheras. She said, "I'm feeling so anxious and stressed but I don't remember why. Tell me again why I'm so upset." I explained to her that she will have to start using a cane, that she is going blind, and that we may have to move out of our three story home soon. She said, "Well, hell! Losing my memory has it's advantages!" If she doesn't remember the bad news then it doesn't exist. That is how she has lived her life.

She was raised by alcoholics and was married to one for nearly fifty years. Her level of denial surpasses anyone I know. It's like Scarlet O'Hara. "Oh fiddle-dee-dee. I'll think about that tomorrow."

It's tomorrow and she can't remember what she was going to think about. She resisted hearing or seeing the truth and how she can't. It seems to work for her. Her daughters take up the slack and she gets to live out her days in la-la land.

As for me, I have her 24/7 unless one of my sisters is available to take her for the day or a movie. So far, they've been very busy with their own lives but they're a phone call away if I really need to get away. Vicky came and stayed here when I went to Phoenix but it isn't easy on any of us. I suspect that an assisted living arrangement will have to be made within the next year or so. She has some money put away but it is invested in the stock market. So, for now, I am her fulltime caregiver, cook, housekeeper and companion and in the process of this I have learned patience, tolerance, forgiveness and unconditional love.

Thank you, Rita

Humorous Wisdom by Swami Beyondananda
from TruthSimplicityLoveNotes:
Swami’s 2009 State of the Universe
The Shift Has Hit the Fan! Welcome to the Sane Asylum

Humanity has shifted its karma into surpassing gear, and political climate change has come to America. Thanks to a grassroots up-wising, we the people huffed and puffed together in the same direction and the winds of change blew in a breath of fresh air. And we can all breathe easier.

The vote in November was more than a vote for a new President. It was a vote for a new precedent – to overgrow the “lowest common dominator” paradigm and take a step towards government of the people, by the people, for the people where the government does our bidding, not the bidding of the highest bidder -- and where the Golden Rule can finally overrule the rule of gold. In the short term, the up-wising has been successful, and the American Evolution has begun. The first big shots have been fired, and we are on the road to recovering from an eight-year bout with Mad Cowboy Disease and Electile Dysfunction.

But now, if we want to heal the body politic of conditions like Deficit Inattention Disorder, Truth Decay and the deadliest one of all, an unchecked Military Industrial Complex, we must elect ourselves. Spiritually, it’s time to quiet our barking dogmas and evolve past the Ten Commandments to an even greater realization – the One Suggestion: “We are all in it together.” Once a critical mass of us chooses to live by this credo, we can avoid the critical massacre called Armageddon, create Disarmageddon instead, and achieve fulfillment as a species -- Humanifest Destiny.
The End of the Age of Nefarious?

Every journey into the light is preceded by a dark passage, and our entry into the Age of Aquarius is no different. As predicted in the celebrated quatrain (“When the goon moves into Lincoln’s house, and stupider aligns with Mars, then greed will guide the planet and fear obscure the stars ...”), the Age of Nefarious delayed the start of the new millennium. But now the quatrain is heading down a new track, and soular power is shining a light on the endarkened corridors of soulless power.

Just as the eight-year journey that took us from Whitewater to Blackwater was coming to an end, some overzealous Bush-bashers hurled footwear to give the departing regime one final boot. That was understandable, but unnecessary. Better we should keep our shoes on, and use them to stand together at a time when healing wounds is more important than wounding heels. Besides, without Bush there could have been no Obama. His alarming actions awakened more people than Buddha, and a body politic in a fear-induced coma miraculously regained consciousness.

And now there is a new President: Barack Hussein Obama. After eight years of insanity, we can proclaim to the world, “America has a President Hussein!”

So now, we must face another awesome truth: We are living in a world gone sane.

Welcome to the sane asylum.
Trickle Down Goes Belly Up

It’s a good thing our political fates are on the upswing, as our economy has taken a sharp downturn. The house of credit cards economy based on trickle down has gone belly up, and we must face another, sadder truth. Individually and collectively, we’ve been suffering from Deficit Inattention Disorder, and since we were unable to do the math, we must now do the aftermath. It’s a buy-o-logical fact. You cannot spend more than you have. Nature knows this. We can use no more energy than what we have in reserve. We cannot charge energy on our Ascended Master Card and repay it next lifetime.

So yes, the casino economy coming down, but there is an upside to the meltdown. There is a great opportunity in the crisis. Consider this. When the dollar hits zero, we can pay off our entire $10 trillion national debt and hardly feel it!

Meanwhile, over the past eight years we have seen the fall of reptilian entities like Enronosaurus Wrecks, and most recently a character named Madoff made off with billions. Our entire economic system has been revealed as an extraordinary ponzi scheme where ordinary people are left holding the empty bag.

Unfortunately, this is nothing new. It’s the same old needy-greedy where our collective fear of not having enough -- “scare city” -- has empowered those privatizing privateers who are plundering our planet with their mining operations: that’s mine, that’s mine, that’s mine. This mining has overmined the planet and undermined humanity. Thus, the emergency we face right now.

So, what do we do? I am glad I asked that question. We must go beyond the fear-based state of emergency, to a state of emergent seeing. That is where we emerge and see the genuine wealth that is all around us: the virtually infinite energy from Father Sun, the prolific nourishment Mother Earth brings us every season, the love we generate from our hearts, and the inventiveness of our minds. With this realization, we have a one way ticket out of scare city ... and we enter a state of a-bun-dance. That is where we get up off our assets, move our buns, face the music and dance together. In using our resources to create good goods and greater goodness, we can weave a web of mass construction that will make us all interdependently wealthy.
Heartland Security and Purple People Power

So ... how do we do this? How do we go from our habitual “every cell for itself” consciousness that has caused our current “mining disaster”, to acting on the evolutionary truth that we are in reality “all cells in the body of humanity?” How do we shift from survival of the fittest to thrival of the fittingest?

First we must move from the fear-based Homeland Security to the love-based Heartland Security, and realize our one true security is in the land of the heart. While the beliefs in our head fool us all the time, the love in our heart is foolproof. When we face up to love, we can face down the fear.

What this means in practical reality is that we must step across the “red-blue” political divide that has kept us separate, and show our true colors as one purple people. Yes, we have all been wounded by polarizing politics, so let’s give ourselves a purple heart, and take the next courageous step to cohere around our shared “heart core” values and become ... we, the purple.

I have a dream ... that the rednecks shall lie down with the blue necks, and we tune out the polarizing mainstream media, which is sadly a brainwashing machine stuck on spin. More than ever, we need forums not againstums, dialogue instead of debate. When the body politic stops mass-debating and chooses to have healthy, pleasurable intercourse, we will finally create a healthy brainchild together.

This February, we celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s bicentennial, and our friend Richard Lederer (the anagram master known as Riddler Reacher), tells us that when we scramble the letters in “Barack Hussein Obama,” we get “Abraham is back: One U.S.”

You don’t have to be a Barack-backer to see that instead of relying on leaders from above, the next evolutionary step is for us to become the leaders we have been waiting for. I am Lincoln. You are Lincoln. We are Lincoln. And by linkin’ together, we free ourselves from slavery to the divisive beliefs in our minds, and form a more perfect union in the land of the heart.

Sure, these ideas may seem far-fetched, but we are nearer to fetching them than ever before. Remember, we are now living in a world gone sane. Change is ahead, change is afoot, and everything is changing from head to foot. Like it or not, we are destined to have heaven on earth. Might as well get used to it.

Positive Evidence

The Winter 2009 Intuitive Coaching Class started Wednesday, right on time. Everyone is excited to get started on the work we began. I've also started a 6 week mentoring course and that has been a huge success. It seems, as I've noticed and reported before, that the veil is thinning between the lower levels of consciousness and the higher ones. The people who have signed up for these classes are exceptional! I've been so impressed with this group that I may just zoom ahead with the more advanced materials.

You know, all we see on the news, in the papers and on the radio, is how bad things are. Car chases, wild fires, earthquakes, robberies, economies collapsing but have you heard that the green industries are booming? Did you hear that the phycic healers and teachers are doing great? How about the great news about the stem cell discovery that will make heart disease a thing of the past? Brilliant things are happening all around us. It's up to us to look for the positive evidence that this is indeed the birth of the New Age.

To love someone is to learn the song that is in their heart and to sing it to them when they have forgotten.

It's all good.

God! I LOVE my life! I'm listening to the soundtrack from "The Big Chill". Excellent music. I must say. Aretha is singing, "You make me feel like a natural woman." This is the perfect music to clean out closets and organize drawers. That has been my mission this week. "Out with the old...." "A place for everything and everything in it's place." Windows are open, candles are lit and incense is burning. It's a sunny 83 degrees on the beach today. Can you believe it? It's been like summer all week. It's freaky beautiful here.

Marlie dropped my cell phone in the toilet when she was here for Christmas, bless her heart, so I now have the new Blackberry. Who would have thought you'd have to take a class to learn how to use a phone? But, oh my, this phone. I'm feeling tingly all over. I'm crazy about technology, in spite of the fact that I don't understand how it works or how to make it do what I want...just the fact that it can, makes me happy.

I want to share a story with you. This is the kind of thing that happens with children that gives me great hope for the future. The little ones understand so much more than we realize. It's all good.

Michael, my 5 year old grandson, has been learning about Reiki and energy because, well, he's my grandson, and how can he not? So, when he had a minor meltdown last week he took a bath and came into my office for his first official session. This is how it went.

I lit a candle on the small round table that sits between the comfy velvet swivel chairs. He sat back and I started with, "What are you feeling?"

He took a moment to assess his body and said, "I feel blue and red."

"Let me see if I understand. What feeling is blue?" I asked.

"It's sadness."

"I see. And what is red? Is it anger?"

"Yes." He nodded.

"How big is the blue?"

He took another moment to move out, energetically, and feel it's size.

"You know on the bottom of the Earth, where the penguins live?" I nodded. "It's that deep and that big." He answered with complete certainty.

"And how big is the red?"

He looked around and checked out the boundaries of his red anger. "It's as big as this room."

"What happened that activated these feelings?" I asked, already knowing, as I was a witness to the incident.

It's very challenging for Michael to talk about things. He clams up pretty tight and this was no exception.

"I want you to guess." he said.

"Hmmm. Let me see if I can put it together. This is what I think it might be but I could be wrong, so make sure you tell me if I don't have it exactly right. I think it might have something to do with saying good-bye to Maggie." (Maggie is the Rottie in the photo on my website. Great dog.)

"You had fun playing with Maggie today and when Grandpa Jay was getting ready to leave, Maggie ran downstairs to the front door. I don't think you wanted to see her go."

He shook his head.

"Right then, Grandpa Jay reached out his hand for you to shake and he said, 'It was good to see you, Michael, and I hope I get to see you again before you go.' and you stepped back a bit from him. It must have felt very different from the way the rest of your family says 'good-bye' with lots of hugs and kisses and tickles."

He said, "Yeah!" If he was a bitter older I had the feeling he would have said something like, 'that was weird'. I watched him when it happened and his little boy body pulled in on itself, like a sea anemone when it's poked.

"And just then your mother popped in with, 'You know, Michael, when you show me you can be responsible, you might be able to get a dog.' because she misread your energy. And then I started to explain something to you about pet responsibility because, I too, misread what you were feeling."

I could see by his expression that I nailed it. His body relaxed just to have someone to finally understand what he was feeling.

He said, "I felt like I was surrounded." Which I think meant he felt overwhelmed with all that was happening in those few minutes. It's a suffocating feeling. His hands went to cover his ears as I began my 'pet responsibility' lecture and he shouted, "Don't say anything! You're going to say something mean." and he ran to the corner of the couch and under a blanket. His mother said, "Michael! When has Grandma EVER said anything mean?" but it was too late, he was closed down.

Now, in the candlelit calm of my office, after a nice warm bath, he was ready to deal with it.

"I understand how you felt being surrounded by adults, with all of their eyes looking down on you. You felt sad saying good-bye to Maggie, and confused a little by Grandpa Jay's good-bye, then attacked with Mommy and me talking about pet responsibility.... all at once."

"Yes, and I have been responsible. I've been helpful." Which is true. He is the sweetest boy, always running upstairs to check on Nana and bring her treats. He'll run up into the loft to get diapers for his baby sister when she needs a change. He's just the best little boy.

After a few deep breaths and smiles I asked Michael how big the blue sadness and red anger were. He told me that the blue was half it's previous size and the red was almost gone.

"Are you ready to let them go?" I asked.

"NO! Because then they might go into somebody else." he said with his eyes wide open, looking at me. How sweet is that? So concerned for others. Ya gotta love this kid.

"You know, Michael. I know a way to let colors and feelings go so that they won't bother anyone else. You just tie them to a helium balloon and let them go straight up, back to God, where those colors and feelings are transformed into love.

He said he wasn't ready to do that as he shook his little head, "no".

"When do you think you'll be ready to let them go?" I asked. "In ten minutes, two minutes, or twelve minutes?"

He took a bit of time to think about that...."One hundred minutes." he answered.

"It's pretty late and time for bed so that means while you're sleeping those colors are going to lift out of your body and float away, okay?"

He nodded an affirmative.

"Now let me ask you, Michael. What color would you like to feel?"

"Yellow, like the sun." he said. "It's warm and cozy and safe like love." OMG! Is he just too cute?

We finished our session and he went to bed. The next morning we were snuggling on the couch under a blanket, his head on my belly, his arms and legs wrapped around me. I whispered, "This feels like yellow." He picked up his head to look me in the eyes, and said, "Yes, this is yellow, Grandma."

Feng Shui for 2009

The year of the Earth Ox is upon us in a few weeks symbolizing a year of work ahead. "No work, no pay". The Ox energy is strong and deliberate, unswervingly patient, tireless, and capable of enduring any amount of hardship without complaint. The Ox works hard, patiently, and methodically and it is good year for using this tireless energy to enjoy helping others. Tenacious, laboring, and self-sacrificing for the benefit of all is the energy of Ox. Ox energy is not extravagant and not at all concerned with material gain. Simple pleasures, quiet mind, and a warm, comfortable, stable and secure home is the pleasure for Ox energy.

It is a year for taking action to accomplish the goals set and for which we have been preparing, in 2008, by the industrious rat and it's symbolic 'new beginnings."

What was begun as a planted, divine seed in 2008 must now be seen through to it's completed evolution in 2009. Watering, weeding, fertilizing, trimming and protecting your fertile field, for the reaping, is the work that is expected.

It is a great time to open up your personal space for the energy of the new year to move into your life. The energy you will use to work for your intentions will come to you more easily when you follow the simple practice of Feng Shui.

What I know about Feng Shui can fit in a thimble but I do know a great deal about how energy flows and the importance of how it moves in our homes and businesses.

Even if you don't move your furniture around, now is the time to clean out closets, cupboards, drawers, and garages. Dust under beds and around windows and doors. Open windows (if it isn't too cold) burn off negative energy by lighting candles and/or incense. Move your furniture around and get the energy moving. If you haven't worn it, eaten it, used it, looked at it in the past 12 months, let it go. Look at each item you have in your space and ask yourself, "How does this make me feel?" If you don't feel good about it, let it go. Simplify and de-clutter your space. Bring in items that bring you joy. Think of the five elements, fire, water, wood, earth, metal and put them where you are intuitively guided. Use color wisely as the vibration of color effects us psychologically and energetically. Organize your garage and call Goodwill or The Salvation Army to pick up the items you are ready to surrender.

Allowing Earth Ox into your home will bring you the tireless energy to work for a better environment for us all.

Planting Intentions In The Fertile Field of The Divine Matrix

A young farm boy was told by his teacher and benefactor that it was time for him to go from his childhood home and find his divine, fertile field in which to create his own future. He said that this divine fertile field was waiting for him and would grow his seeds with great speed and with full richness. He said,in fact, this divine, fertile field was so fertile that he should take great caution not to drop seeds carelessly, because even those seeds would grow quickly and to full expression of the essence of the seed's inner intention.

The young apprentice was wide eyed with visions of green fields as far as he could see. In all directions around him he would plant and water and tend to his field with great care and love. He could envision this great field all around him where he could plant and grow whatever he chose. More than anything he wanted to have a sheltor full of, music, song and celebration. He wanted to have fresh water to drink and plenty of food to eat and share with his family and friends. He was eager to start his search for the fertile field.

The young boy left his teacher's side, reluctantly, and took to the roads to find this divine fertile field he believed was waiting for him. On his quest he had many happy adventures. He met fellow travelers with whom to share a campfire and companionship. They sometimes shared stories, songs and celebrations and were never without food to share with each other. He often slept alone and comfortably under the stars and was not at all frightened of the sounds he heard in the trees around him. He found that no matter what the weather or Mother Nature produced he always found a safe place in a cave or under an rocky ledge were he could build a fire and be warm and safe from the winds and rains.

The young seeker discovered that when he became thirsty he always found a stream or well nearby to quench his thirst. And when he became hungry, he never failed to find a bush with berries or a wild yam to eat. He grew more confident as he traveled in search of his divine fertile field where he knew he would build a home and grow his crops. He traveled North and South, East and West. He traveled for many months searching for the fertile field his teacher had told him was out there waiting for him.

Finally the young man gave up and returned to his teacher. "I have failed," he said. "I never found the divine fertile field of which you spoke."

"Ah" said the teacher. "Are you sure you did not find it?"

"No." said the boy. "I traveled very far. I went to the icy mountains of the North and the warm sandy shores of the South. I went to where the sun rises and where the sun sets and I did not see any fertile field the likes of which you described, where I would build my home and dig a well, the place where I could plant seeds for harvesting."

"You did not fail, my boy. You found the fertile field. The fertile field is all around you in every direction as far as you can imagine. It is the fertile field of the divine where your every intention is planted and grows for you instantly. When you became thirsty, did you not find clean water to drink?"

"Well, yes." said the boy.

"And when you became hungry, did not food appear for you to be filled?"

"Yes, always."

"Did ever once you not find shelter when you looked for it?"

"I always found shelter when I needed it." said the young boy.

"The fertile field is everywhere waiting for you to plant the seeds of your intentions. As long as your intentions come from a loving heart, you will see your seeds of creative thought grow to full blossom." said his wise teacher.

"Close your eyes now and see the divine fertile field all around you. The field has been tilled and is ready for planting. The soil is rich and dark and row upon row as far as you can see is waiting for your seeds of intention. Think with your heart. What loving thing do you want to plant? A happy home? A happy family? A renewed spirit and planet? Is it peace of mind you desire? Is it a strong and fit body to enjoy? Feel your intentions as they are manifest right now. Feel love and appreciation in your heart. Allow the seeds to grow in every row, in every direction, as far as you can imagine. Feel the joy of your happiness taking to the soil to grow more happiness. Feel the greatness of abundant prosperity planted in your field. See yourself reaping the love and peace you have planted. Receive your harvest now."

Back to life.

My darling daughter and beautiful grandchildren left here on Saturday to return to Phoenix and school and their regular life. My house is very quiet now and I'm recovering from a bit of a cold.

Today I will take down the tree and pack away the snow globes and silver candles, door wreaths and any other decorations I find as I clean up. I like to leave myself notes in the boxes for next year. Little reminders of this Christmas and advice for next. I might pack a recipe we found or a photo of Marlie and Michael in the ocean on New Year's Day.

It's back to work now. Back to my readings, writing, teaching and my regular life. There are new classes I'm creating for those who cannot commit to the six month course. I have a few ideas for one day classes focusing on specific subjects. I'm developing a new workbook and have committed to complete the other book about my psychic gift and development. It's going to be a fun year for me, busy and fun.
