Soooooooooooo......the beginning of the year has started over New Years everyone was so thrilled now there is a calm inward journey with people attempting to figure out what does that really mean 2012? I know some are on a fast track making huge plans following through in a big way while others are nesting getting ready for that birth of ideas. I feel the angels are here to let us know we are all on the right track. It is a year of responsibility to our destiny we have be willing to do what it takes to get out there either in service or doing our work in a bigger way. This Full Moon being in Cancer as I lay in my bed the moon shining in here in Mt Shasta I almost forgot about it then a friend from Illinois called to ask about what I thought about this moon.....the night before which was Wed. I had dismissed this moon it then poof there it was shining in my side window nudging me, then again last night here she was again. I feel that the importance of taking care of our family(big), home, and social interaction is really much of what this year is about. This economic situation has taken us back to basics that was absolutely necessary for us to do our work. If you are reading this you are already committed to a spiritual practise there is no questioning you are not a novice you are a dedicated person and will be more so this coming time. We have entered that new time with much enthusiasm however for many it is a time of rest and inward journey which is feeling non productive but good for the soul. A friend Peter Mt Shasta was in the store the other day talking and showing me about doing a skype lesson a week, which he encouraged me to start he saids it is something I need to do. So in my own journey I am thinking about how that is birthing. I also have art work from Cheryl Rose labels to put on my flower essences but I don't understand how to do which a friend will help me with that,plus use her art work for the cover of a book. I wanted to do a group to Kona for myself the half marathon in Hilo on March 18 it too is still birthing. I have the feeling that time isn't quite yet but as many of you it feels like many years we have been waiting and here we are once again. I know that this time is very different and necessary for the birthing that is upon us. Next week my gal Amber is coming out we are planning a similar weekend as when another came out, excercise, massage, journey, meditation, cleansing, basic hanging with our energy of this Mountain! I am excited but also feel a depth of gentle queitness. I am hoping the weather is ok so we can do a lodge in my yard for the first of the year to help focuse and clear any unwanted energy so we can proceed in the most dynamic way possible. As always we are not in charge a lesson that is being continuably learned. Stay with the flow listen to directions and follow them.

Also we carry Peter Mt Shasta's book at our store "Adventures of a Western Mystic"
Cheryl Yambrach Rose book, posters, and deck of cards.

Going back to the Beginning of Sweat Lodge to Current!

2011-10-07T10:35:00.000-07:00

My first Sweat Lodge in 1887

As I sit in this lodge dark, all I see is a huge Panther Black Cat and a big snake.......I am not sure if I am going to live through this. My ears are on fire, wondering what will it look like when woman dies in Sweat lodge in Turlock California. I was on a journey after seeing the lodge at Stewart Springs for years but not really knowing but feeling drawn to it. Then after a sticky testy divorce I was in a woman's support group I asked another gal if she ever saw one being advertised I would love to go. Then as spirit has it she saw one in Turlock Calif. so we started our journey getting lost for 5 hrs, not realizing that too was part of a shaman's journey. So in the morning we started by building the lodge now I sit here with sweat pouring off this body having the heart closing into my mind feelings thoughts rising deep with in a clear way in an odd reality.

I arrived with Lana feeling out of place then realizing we were here to work. We were to collect the willows, rocks, fire wood (by the site) each took prayers and focus. I learned that the rocks were called Grandfathers being here for century's. Building the lodge out of direction from the Karuk stocky Medicine man with a big black hat (turning out to be Charlie Thom the same man who has lodge at Stewart Springs). He was showing us how to bend the willows pray as we go. I thought what if I professional former husband could see me now. The park was beautiful as we looked over a meadow that we would call Angel Meadow a blue heron flew over with her wings spread wide so powerful of a message. It was a completely different reality being here in nature now the fire burning with the blankets on the lodge with tarps covering the lodge. The base of the fire had large logs making a floor for the rocks then putting split wood around brush in the center covering each with a prayer placing our intentions for the coming time in lodge, lighting it. WE now have a fire roaring it is a beautiful place with great smells of the our door and Mother earth. I know I am in for it, as we enter sitting on the ground in a circle of each direction, Red Hawk(Charlie Thom) sitting in the East to the side of the door all adds to the mystic of this. He adds celery root, along with many other herbs. He is known for being an herbalist so he has a direct relationship with many herb which I later find is different then most lodges. The smells are divine the root sparkles on the rocks, he is belting out songs that I attempt to sing along, feeling the depth of all of it. He pours water on the rocks they sizzle making the heat more intense and see those images.

Being in Sweat Lodge has many meanings for many people it is basically a prayer service for many it has such a profound cleansing brings up much emotion, often flash backs, great for recovery, (a friend brought it into the prisons for Native folks)the experience makes me feel alone in the dark often for many it can bring claustrophobic feelings or hyperventilated breathing.

I decided to add this to this blog today this has been written so long ago to even remember. This picture of Micheal & myself are the most recent Vision Quest for 2011 this is the lodge. The times have changed however the ceremony hasn't, it still is a mystery to me. I never really can predict what is going to happen, each is unique to it's self. After that first lodge I didn't sweat for a year, having a profound effect on me. When I did do it again in Turlock I became an apprentice so then I would often do lodge 3-4 times in a weekend plus still working mainstream in our Salon in Burlingame the "Townhouse." Then I started leading Quest's in 1991 which each one just like lodge in unique to itself. I know one thing that ceremony once the medicine is set down to a format the earth, lands ancestors, trees and all the natural surrounding know. When I go on the land in between times putting offering of tobacco and sweets the trees wave their arms in welcome, the area where lodge is has also a welcoming even if the weather isn't great. I love this work and am a constant student as the natural resources teach me how to honor the land and Mother Earth.

Fall Equinox!

Things are not often as the seem to be.......we have to look deeper but sometimes we are choosing to be manipulated for our growth. Until we become honest in our soul work we must learn many lessons. We have to accept that people are not where we want or think should be, it is our drive for being co-dependant to want everyone on the same team. As this season moves into being it is apparent we are learning some big lessons with economy and the necessity to open our heart to love. This picture is the end of my flower essence for this season, vetch, sweet peas, amethyst, and crystals. I am tuning into what this draws to the person using it. I have been asked to make some for a Japanese web site for them to sell to Japan. Yesterday in the store there were 2 women from Japan asking very specific question of which flower essence would work for specific things they were attempting to create in their life. It became clear that on the page I have for each essence I need to be a bit more specific which in the next few days will be a joy to have more clarity. I love having the flowers teach me about themselves. I also use flowers in my Sweat Lodge asking for their help. We are now entering the season where few are in bloom. The next lodge I still have mint and lavender to brush on the rocks, of course some of my beautiful roses for opening the heart. I love the nature of flower power, a energy to not be neglected for their power. That is what I love about living in the mountains the simple ceremonial times, just being in my 2 gardens cleaning out and up......being blessed with Mother earth's appreciation for me being the guardian of this land. I think about it as I achieve each task. Including gathering fire wood deep in the forest feeling the pulse of the mother. As I am sitting here at Mt Shasta Herb & Health writing this there is a blue jay squawking very loud from my garden telling me communication is absolutely essential for those that we are opening our hearts. Now if people aren't there it is not our job to push through we have better things to do. As much as I want my team I also realize that people are at their own speed, it is none of my business to insist that they come along. The music is playing from Amma's Swami's 1000 names of the Divine Mother hearing the blue jay and seeing the bowl touches my heart in great gratitude for all things. If you are reading this I want you to understand how you are a blessing, beautiful gratitude for your life. A HO!

Please Grant My Prayers!

2011-09-08T16:30:00.000-07:00

I am praying for all of those who want that special beloved. It has come to my awareness this year I have said so many prayers in the Sweat lodge pleading for those special people to come into our lives. It has been clear no matter what age in their 20's-30's or 40's or 50's or 70's the one thing we all have in common a prayer for a beloved. I was telling my last lover how strange it is to be at this age here with my cats without that special person......... There is a man friend who has achieved a lot said sitting on my sofa, " the one thing I have to have is that special relationship is my last hurrah." Then these women between 38-42 are praying for that before their time is too late to have that family their plea is loud and clear. Then you take women/men in their 50's saying the same all I want is some-one to do the things I love to do. (For many the children thing is over or they are raised having the time to commit fully to a relationship) I feel with all the earth changes love is the main drive it keeps showing up in all types of ways to open our hearts to the Divine. I find it powerful that there is no shame in asking for that beloved. The only problem I feel is getting out there talking with men or women practising that friendly chatting without fear of anything. Often we have gotten out of practise because of heart break or just isolating at home in our comfort zone. It is time to stretch our wings getting out there risking taking up some activity that one can just enjoy biking, running, hiking, kayaking something that feeds the physical then mental or go to singles activities where there is some type of ground work singles opera, concerts, not just dancing, with no focus. I was just giving a massage feeling the depth of my client from Japan praying for that beloved so as I prayed with her I knew it was time to write about this. With each trusting touch I felt her relax molding into my hands clearing any doubt or trauma from the current Earthquake in Japan that was on her birthday the changes in her body and all around her. I feel very blessed to be of service to such a divine privilege praying with her. We are called to make life easier prayers for those suffering or feeling loss of any kind. Thank YOU universe for the calling and opening for these prayers for our children/adults longing.

Moving into Fall

2011-09-01T09:19:00.000-07:00

Well this has been a great completion year with new beginnings! Sometimes feeling the grief of completion unsure of what is really beginning. We have felt the change in Mother Earth shaking up our reality of where earth quakes are or hurricanes seeing earth is in charge of making us make new choices. I feel that some of our economic challenges has forced us to look at what is really important what relationship do we need to nurture or let go of, also to stay postive no matter what . So our family and community is actually larger but the firm choice of where do we put our prana life energy. This year our Shasta Wilderness Quest went great and a completion of the process we have been in for 5 yrs. I am reminiscing with all my past Quester's and Supporters from 1991 when I started with Charlie Thom. I remember clearly how we sat at Spirit Lake him saying, "When you do your groups you will do it different!" Since then I have done a flavor of different types. I knew like sweat lodge before I did my first Quest I needed to do one. I didn't understand the significance of either but as I did my first lodge in Turlock that started my unfolding of Sweat Lodge. Then being drawn to Vision Quest reading Sun Bears book getting a book from a local Indian group, I searched around who I wanted to do it with. Charlie was at my home in San Carlos on Halloween with a Full Moon I was chatting with him he said I will take you! Then it started a 13 day wilderness Quest that I co-leaded ( meaning I would chat with the people on their process) that was when he sat by the fire telling me about when I would do it on my own. I have found it to be a wonderful process of humility and gratitude that people trust in me. I feel the work is very profound and intimate. One of the areas which starts a huge process that woman understand that importance of their monthly moon cycle though it seems harsh that they can not be in Sweat Lodge but for many it is the start of an honoring of being woman. I still chat in session with some women who tell me how their Quest is still working them plus realizing how that monthly cycle is a big honoring still. I feel that is a great success for us women. Plus the other real blessing is when people begin to understand what it is to take on the Wisdom of being that Wise Woman or Elder Man.........that for me gives them the grace to be that Mentor as we move into our 50's- on that there is a blessing in our aging plus a responsibility to continue growth. I have also met people who elders have said to people who are unwilling to take on that responsibility .......YOU will never be an elder. I honor the process of continued physical work and emotional, spiritual work it is necessary to continue our own growth. We are seeing life as it is complex but remaining we have chosen a real deal life. So many of us are not living in ashrams, convents or cloistered existence so we are dancing the real dance of life being a human experience. It has many twists and turns with many blessings. I feel fortunate to have multiple experiences from my early childhood so I can relate on so many levels. I am really enjoying my clients that teach me so much. I feel very fortunate I generally have teachers in my massage practise and spiritual practise. These teachers need confirmation of their process I feel blessed that they trust me to be that person. I know that my journey this year of my gals from Japan, sweat lodge with many Japanese, plus my truck into the wilderness after not going since having the store a re-newing I needed. I know I have laid down some new medicine not really know the new beginning but very encouraged about it. I also look forward to the completion of 2011 as the leaves fall off of the trees here in Mt Shasta. I went into the Marbles hiked in then carried a pack out something I said I wouldn't do but also understand what it represented the responsibility then I fell in water so my pack was heavier with water. I also understood the emotional (water) responsibility that i would carry out. I wish I felt strong enough to enjoy the walk but it was more of getting out to get that pack off my back. I felt terrific when I came out, not sore. Then there was planned a lodge for some Japanese folks Sunday I was busy getting lodge ready a bit tired so I took a tumble down 2 stairs. I could feel my whole leg pull, knowing at the moment of falling this is what an accident is. The great news was I had Mom, Bennie, and Krissy to take care of the fire and people. They would also take care of me get water help me in and out of lodge. The interesting thing about it was I once more had to re-view where am I. That I would put ice on my leg no exercise for me I could hardly walk but did take care of myself. I also felt a renewed focus on my own process of where I want to put my energy. It was great going in the Marbles with these powerful medicine people sharing our stories of our successes and challenges. I had to sit and ponder that all. Then there was a gathering of friends at the Best of Shasta with Charlie Thom and loads of others we sang in ceremony touching on the journey of this path. Then the Quest came giving me a focus & strength of completion of this process. I am very excited about how everyone did it was such a fabulous experience. I also thanked our supporters and all those who held this energy at home taking care of our homes, pets and holding energy for another year. I have done groups with TuBears a real blessing, another at Gunboot with a couple helping me a fabulous experience, one in the Blue Ridge Mountains with my fire keeper Lone Wolf who totally rocks! I appreciate all of this! Thank YOU great spirit. Before the group arrived I had been told I need to have a new dress so the week before I ended up doing grocery shopping at Costco unexpected but ok. I also got material to make my new dress. As I was sewing my needle broke which I thought was no big deal. I went to get that needle kim said that sometimes that would make the machine off center I would know because the thread would keep breaking.........so you get where I am going......it did. I found myself Friday night on my way to Walmart in Yreka to buy a new sewing machine so I could finish my dress. Nothing in this life is a simple but the importance is being determined and having the energy to follow through. I did finish my dress at the coming in of Questers I wanted a picture of myself along with Questers throwing in their prayer ties, but my camera was foggy. This picture is at my friend Michael's in front of his fire a new beginning that too is unexpected this is the way the medicine works. I always say I am good at following the energy.

This Summer Plans and Energy with New Beginnings!

2011-07-25T18:34:00.000-07:00

So as the year turns I have felt the great completions that are upon us! Plus new beginnings while feeling the grief of ending an era. I had plans of half marathons which I completed plus my friend Cora & I planned to venture into the Marble Mountains. That too had it challenges with snow. The area we were going to still is not open for horses to get over the Ridge so it was a few days before that we got the go from the Forest Service. Upon arriving there were mounds of snow but sunny during the day. It felt like a grand renewal for the 2 of us. Feeling what has happened for the last 10 + years? We are coming upon another eclipse July 30 supports this theory of new beginnings. I am going to add here a pray I wrote in 2000...........so here we are. This year has been a tiptoeing through the tulips of memory's of how did we get here. Clearing the life that doesn't work takes some recovery of our authentic self, unraveling that co- dependant working in our society. It is the time to move into that wonderful New Awareness however we have had so many challenges or clearing of the old but feeling some what helpless with the economy people losing homes and jobs.......having the new now while still feeling that it is a grand time of opening into great times. While feeling angels supporting us, feeling our ancestors holding us close, and our guides moving more powerfully in our choices. We are understanding if we are not getting the support or love that is absolutely necessary we must move into a more supportable spiritual honest energy. We have no choice but to make choices about our own boundary's which is a fairly new concept but necessary. We need to look at the acting out or numbing due to drugs, alcohol to cope with the pain of the past. It is also necessary to understand physicality of the brain how these patterns are an epidemic we must address these family patterns. Education is essential for any recovery including spiritual recovery to the depth of our courage to take on our own healing then having the ability to heal the bigger issues.

This trip to the Marbles was a huge adventure I feel very grateful that I did it. We as a family use to go before owning the store so this trip was being once again being with the medicine especially such a powerful place. I thank my Mom for holding down the store with great business keeping a happy positive attitude.

Dance with the Dolphins in the Full Moon of the Eclipse!

Hi Dear Ones!

We have embarked on a time of unbelievable beauty. May each of you be blessed in a profound way.

On July 16, 2000 is a powerful time to acknowledge your own growth as soul. May each of you be blessed in a profound way. There will be four of us representing the Four Directions; East, South, West, and North, praying for you with dolphins, dancing on the beach, bringing in the joy that you have brought into others lives. May you do ceremony of your own, light a candle, sing, dance, whatever is your fancy, there will be people all over praying for you, thanking you for your contribution to this life. May we have a renewed freedom to live to our highest potential, understanding how we are each a part of the great wheel. Lets pray that we love and empower each other to bring in the beauty into our lives and others.

I call forth the power and the presence of the Ascended Masters, I offer my body, my heart, and my soul to bring Divine Love, Courage, and Clarity to live to my highest potential in doing that I support all of my family and the big family. I bless all my relationships and thank them for my growth' I bless all my teachers. I bless all those who are in my direct alignment, may we join together to bring more love and peach to each other.

Blessings, Linda/West Wind

Soooooooo...........this is still very fitting for our times. We left on our trip on July 12 returning July 15 carrying our packs out not really planning but finding it necessary to understand our level of repsonsilbity that we all carried out. We made the pack then next year when celebrating our birthdays together we would not find the need to carry our heavy load out. We were thankful that Cora's friends carried in our load. Thanks Bill, Suzy and Travis!!

I feel very grateful that I have continued my journey even through our lives still keeping on.

Tessa's 2 Birthday!

Made it pass the Solstice!

2011-06-25T14:19:00.000-07:00

Wow what a year almost July? We are moving so fast it is important to keep moving into the new no matter what is going on. Our Quest is moving great another year our 5 years offer up to spirit. I have been wanting to write for a long time when my inspiration comes I am running or in the car driving.......so by the time I get to a computer I feel like I have written a dynamite blog. OOps! So this cycle of New beginnings and completions with feelings of grief, basic tiredness. I have gotten calls from people feeling like all they want to do is rest asking if there is something physically wrong. However the energy till this Solstice has been like that now feeling a more positive shift. We have gone through so many completions on so many levels while in that birthing of new beginnings. When I look at myself it feels like since 1986 there has been an odd holding pattern. I feel fortunate in raising my sons who are now men. I do feel that a pattern was created which much changed while remaining the same now ready for new. I watched the completion of Oprah yet seeing the excitement of a New Era. I listened to Patricia Robles the other day saying that with the seemingly negative dark issues are coming to the surface to clear or heal. I feel that this is our opportunity to get out there in a bigger more positive way. And yet being selective to the energies we engage with. What may have worked in the past that group doesn't serve but takes too much emotion or energy to just hang with. This visit of Amma was spectacular our Satsang group sang on stage to Amma. The a few of us from Mt Shasta were able to do Arathi right in front of Amma so we spent maybe an hour and half at Amma's feet another mind blowing experience. So in the mists of our challenges I feel I am being blessed while still doing the work. What is the work? Still meditation, prayer, exercise diligently. I have done 2 half marathons which helps me stay disciplined, planning to do another in the fall. There was a wonderful couple from Arizona Cynthia & Barry educators we were talking about the necessity of doing that physical work, while incorporating more exercise handling the energies that are upon us. I keep telling people just that with all the frustration with the economy, floods, earth changes, tornadoes, in order to combat the unrest clearing the grief, frustration or general sadness we must keep keeping on. I view my own past these patterns of co-dependant, addiction, drama's that are all around. I often think well people feel this or that it blows my mind that in narcissism people don't feel that remorse or sadness. I have 2 men friends that are in recovery for over 10 yrs, they will not return a phone call to just do a friendly update ........nope but I am sure they are completely justified as to why not. One I have known since I was 15. I have left messages inquiring about his son and health, wondering how is Mom who I saw a couple of years ago was 85. Then this other fellow I have had in 2 of my Quest's plus have spent much time with him he too is in recovery. My thoughts are in good respectful courtesy you as friends just check in. I guess me being an only child create family's or friends that way. I even tell clients to let me know how things go. If I have read for you in my prayers you are in my memory. I am not a psychic that it fads away. I feel once we have gone into that intimate part of life we are connected in some special way. I feel we are truly blessed to be close to those certain people as we transition into this new phase of our lives. I feel that where there is that isolating not being willing to get intimate is limiting our connections, what it sad is the definite choice of people to do that. Often calling it something else. I guess everyone wants to save face. I was talking with my neighbor who within 5 minutes telling me of 5 people who were losing their homes in foreclosure, he commented on such a drastic birthing process....So the effort to push through the energy while creating a new releasing old destructive patterns is more of a challenge but well worth it. People wanting confirmation that all is well while seeing this takes a special ra-ra tactics. Please feel that you are loved by the Angels the angelic force is here wanting to support you, Mary, Quan Yin is ready willing and able to give you love and support......the Divine Goddess is surrounding us no matter what is going on. We all feel like the burden is so great, pulling that bag of rocks around is old hat we have done it enough uncle uncle. However the strong will inherit the earth absolutely essential to be in nature feel the force of the Divine while teaching & healing you. Feeling the strength of mother nature she will win she is a force to let you know change is here. We are the ones that we have been waiting for the time is NOW!

Easter

2011-04-22T12:17:00.001-07:00

So here we are entering Easter time knowing the positive energy of spring is upon us. We have really been through the eye of the needle with Mother Earth, know change is upon us. I know many people are being drawn to the philosophy that the end is here. Maybe like so many teachers the end of an era is here, our job is to raise the vibration with Joy when we can mustard our vibrations using the golden light energy through our body. I have put our most resent addition to the store from our favorite Statue Factory in Brisbane the people there are wonderful. I saw this new Quan Yin as I walked out last time she called to me, then we had our 2 weeks type of blizzard weather not being able to pick up our order. She arrived this week after our Quest Lodge in Los Altos with 14 people 7 men and 7 women. It was the first of our meetings for our Wilderness Quest with myself and Daniel Foor http://www.earthmedicine.org/. We weren't really sure if we were even going to continue this year but spirit says yes. We both are excited about out commitment this year you can read it on facebook Shasta Wilderness Quest. Right now as we all are in transition knowing there is a completion with often grief or being tired feeling the lack of energy a big dive inward. I have gotten many calls asking about this, then with a new adrenaline move forward with new beginnings not knowing exactly what that is but knowing we are contracted to do the best we can. Often with these is a hesitation while a knowingness being driven we must. I also think it is a time to be very real after a very busy time I ended up home tired then "Tuesday with Morrie " was on it says it all. I was thinking of certain people I have lost contact with for one reason or another wanting to share this depth of friendship or love, while feeling hesitant to leave one more message wanting more in an intimate way. One thing I feel very strongly is the time to be more intimate more honest while being kind. I know that will be part of our Quest this year after being in the woods together to continue it is a quest for true intimacy while doing our spiritual work in the woods together. We are starting our 9 year with our store in our own new beginning not really even knowing what that is. The other day while Mom was taking her day off, I did a small ceremony with myself the spirits here my pipe in my healing room in gratitude for our lives, my children's their partner's and my sweet grand-daughter Tessa in reverence of all things and those who support our lives. I often say we don't know whose lives we have effected often we are the last to know. Knowing there is a force when we show up magic happens even though we don't know at that moment what it is. More will be revealed often when we least expect it. So our new Quan Yin is hovering over guarding and protecting our store. Those of you may know we have a Quan Yin by our front door that use to be in my yard she fell over in a snow storm broke her neck and nose. John Monks cemented her back together she guards the front of the store with a broom behind her for protection. Well this woman wanted to buy her. Then Kuan Yin appeared in a dream to my Mom saying she couldn't leave she was our protector. Recently the same thing happened with our St. Francis another woman wanted him even though we have a newer one. I told her no for the same reason our mascots to our store. I wish everyone love, light, joy, in this Easter Season, plus Earth Day as our flowers begin to bloom. Thanks to all those who have supported us through these many transitions! A HO!

Quan Yin: The female Buddha Quan Yin is believed to help with healing. When placed in a room she is said to cleanse the environment of negative influences (such as disruptive issues, illness and negative influences). Quan Yin is the eternal protector of all children. She also represents universal compassion and love.

Snow time in the mountains!

2011-03-24T11:52:00.000-07:00

Today I awoke to a white out storm we have received at least a foot of snow with more coming. I was able to go to Spin yesterday, Yahoo! I was suppose to run at noon which it is right now, my camera is still down at my sons which I miss it to show the storm? We rely on our toys my phone could work but not as well. So we are open on time which is a miracle thank goodness for my Jimmy like a tank coming through picked up Mom. Her street is not ploughed at all almost 6 inches deep. So people always comment about us and how hard we work and how we keep showing up. Well we need to pay our current obligations. Yes it would be great to not need to just have plenty in the bank to just let it go and play in the snow. I know in the divinity that is not our process at this moment but perhaps in the future. I do know that part of the challenges of our current dramas is having faith and trust. Oops I just heard it is 20 inches and magical some-one wrote on Facebook, it is all a matter of opinion. Yes it is beautiful feeling the divinity of the Great ones of our mountain, the drive inward to meditate. I am playing the Georgian Chants of Avignon which is beautiful we have tried to buy for the store but so far no-one is selling it wholesale. So if you can envision our store with white every where feeling the purity and beauty of our small town. A friend came in to buy our chocolates made with honey our first sale @ $3.00 each. We who live in the mountains can move in the beauty while doing our aerobic workout shoveling the snow but feeling the energy as we dive deeper into our souls. Can be very powerful if we didn't need the $$$ for our business and actually is.

Focusing of Love & Light

2011-03-20T08:36:00.001-07:00

Where to start with our current conditions? The disaster in Japan sending prayers of humility and hope to all the people that are struggling with earth conditions that are beyond our human understanding. Now Libya crisis management of this crazy dark forces of insanity. This Sunday was our first Quest meeting but our area received oodles of snow. Me deciding how bad is it after these crisis it is difficult to make assessment of any kind. I cannot grasp the depth of all that is going on in this world let alone decide how bad is it to drive to the bay area from Mt Shasta. I finally decided Saturday afternoon around 3 pm seeing over a foot of snow expecting a couple more. I am now sitting here looking out at the snow my truck has over 2 ft on it, I need to dig a path around my house, watching meet the press as they are talking about Libya a very surrealistic experience. I hear the snow removal snow plow in the back round, what have we created? That is the true question. Everyone has some feeling around all of this. This week in our store Monday & Tuesday calls are about iodine potassium a compulsion about potential radiation from the reactor from Japan. If we were to write a novel or one of those movies about all of this happening at once it would be difficult to fathom. A friend is in Santa Fe she said," I understand why I am here to pray, visiting the cathedral there." Yes we are focused on putting light and prayers in all these situations. Amma says the main point of these traumas is to focus on the God/Goddess that is the main choice to have faith and hope. We must continue to be strong sending love and light to any dark places including our current economy with its struggles. Do we have any choice? So I am here in the white of Mt Shasta with a huge strong Full Moon and Spring Equinox, prayers and a possible fire to send prayers from here to every dark place. I have dig out my fire pit which is under a few feet of snow I do feel the importance of it. The other day I smoked my pipe with prayers with my crystals.

Changes, New Plans and Dreams!

2011-02-25T06:30:00.000-08:00

So with our current world conditions it is obvious that change is in the air. People wanting democracy new times ahead. New Zealand shake up with the earth quake, sensitive people feeling the quake coming, 2 of my clients were talking about earth quakes, not realizing they were tuning in to it but had different areas in mind. So we are finding the clearer you are the more in tune to what is happening, not a particular easy feeling. One thing that is coming up the plans that are in action so early in the year, seems like many things are birthing. It is a very important time to put these plans in movement here we are not quite into March with many plans for the year. As our vibration is raised we are on a fast track of spirituality and responsibility in our being our authentic self. In the new age the term wasn't accountability but now it is a necessary task. We have to exercise, get into a support system or group, meditate and be some what of a snob to who our team is. That is an on going theme people say to me I don't want to be a snob but there are only so many people I relate to. I say be one create that team that support your dreams. As I watched Oprah she was talking about her team and how essential it is to have those cheer leaders, plus honesty to your process. There is an amount of jealousy in all areas of life, so it is important to be with those who are in your success corner what ever that means. I am excited about my clients their process is so exciting for me to support. This week I was working with one person in between the silence from me then I would do a stream of consciousness that even surprised me. I feel very blessed and in gratitude for the process that is happening in my groups and individual sessions ........blessings and Great Gratitude for you! A HO!
Also the drive inward through this week is obvious in our town, even with the snow that is great not many people out and about. Today there is snow at ocean level all the way up the first time in 30 yrs the white rise in purity. The last time it snowed in the bay area my friend has passed I was going to her rosary that day with the beauty of white she is one of my spiritual lessons and still is thanks Jeanne Stone for your teaching you are not forgotten your life was a big impression though it was a short life!

What a few Days do in the Mountains!

Bubbles at Mt Shasta Herb & Health Valentine's!

2011-02-12T16:31:00.000-08:00

Valentine's with Patty Hill Harpist

2011-02-12T14:28:00.000-08:00

Today we are having a gathering for Valentines. Many friends have come to celebrate. Our friends are welcoming the Angels a chain letter of sorts, plus the Angelic realm has been looming around wanting the recognition that they deserve. A friend Wanda went to get me battery's so I could use my camera. I took pictures of our new bubble machine, mine just showed the machine, she will send me her that show the bubbles.

Really a wonderful beginning of the year so much is on the horizon now with Egypt being free a great confirmation to let us know good things are happening NOW. We feel some type of stagnation but it is more like a woman who is 40 wks pregnant thinking that nothing is happening then vavoom much changes. I know some feel like their projects are on hold but I want you to know all of a sudden that dissertation will be moving, books will be progressing in a wonderful way, new thought forms will be happening. We just need to Hold on Tight! We are receiving confirmation in so many ways, it is important to keep moving exercise is the best way to handle the energy, meditation, writing in our journals, affirmations to keep us focused on the positive.

2011-01-21T11:56:00.000-08:00

Here we are in the beginning of the year almost end of the first month of 2011. The talk since the new moon of December has been about our ancestor's and angels, each day I am aware of their presence the necessity of being honored and heard. I felt in the last month the visitation was almost ery but profound, even people I hardly know showed up to check in that their life was of value. The conversations have been ever present on our Angels their ability to help us manifest what is our hearts desires still wanting us to recognize what a divine focus they are. Today Mom received an Angel prayer to do for 5 days. Kingston came in to tell me he was told by some-one to pray to 22 Angels each day he is making his wishes know to the Angels. This was just in a couple of hours at our store.

I was driving to the bay area receiving many messages which is normal for me. I received the data of how we Daniel Foor http://www.ancesteralmedicine.org/ and I could keep our Wilderness Quest simple but once again pulling in some information about our ancestor's and power animals. Last year most of our group are continuing from previous years so for us to jumble it up a bit will be exciting and moving along with the messages of our hearts. Plus he is writing his book.

So I am grateful for the divine to once again put in motion my next step. Also so far I am going into my beloved Marble Mountains for a week this summer with some friends it has been 18 years since we trucked in together. Jan was pregnant with her now 18 yr old Eric that we will do rites of passage as he embarks on college. We will make arrangements for the horses to take in our food. This is an area where the Karuk tribe would do trainings for their medicine people. I have helped Charlie Thom do this in the past since 1989 but haven't been in since buying our store. I can honestly say with all new beginnings going into to this sacred place is a necessity for our manifestation of our next steps. I know my Mom is disappointed not to be part of the journey but even riding in horse back is a tremendously physical ride for 15 miles.

I have also registered for the half marathon in the Redwoods May 1 Plus May day is one of my favorite days to honor the Divine Mother/Beltane the Goddess.....so the energy is definitely moving for this early in the year. We are being pushed or prodded into that which is different or possibly the power of our angels and ancestor's that say hey get going don't waste a minute (Angels & ancestor's) know how not to waste a breathe or moment. Life is Life our blessings and our training ground. Now here is the jest of importance of in order to do our spiritual life work we must clear the energy with a certain drive of aerobic exercise, then doing something with more centered calm exercises. Also the importance of prayer and meditation these are also necessities in the energy that is present these days.

Jen is a poet she and I continue to keep on the similar themes also knowing with these forces miracles are upon us but we must keep our focus and surrender to the power and presence keeping our attachment at a minimum letting them do the divine. Please read her blog it is amazing, sending her good prayers for her dissertation plus her book of poetry.

Movement for the New Year!

2011-01-10T11:22:00.001-08:00

Daily Life: Cosmic Rose on Earth

A good idea, today, may be a real good day, to look in, and into a mirror, standing. And see a capivatingly beautiful soft Pink Rose of the Universal Wisdom any way you wish to See It. As you. Being one. Together Standing in the Light of: The Love, anchored within-and from the center of the Earth. Using you as Its out breathing vehicle and Affecting Millions and Millions of, well, everything.

I AM the Cosmic Rose, the Action of Divine Love now transforming Humanity, instantly. Beloved I Am

Rose!

Now this is today's quote from my friend Yoj Chase who sends wonderful saying around from the Divine each day. He has a new book out "Street Wise Ascension" we carry at the store.

Sooooooooo this beginning of the New Year has definitely a powerful movement energy, more is on the horizon each day. I can't remember a year when so much is birthing so soon. By the 7 th of this month the first 2 months has many plans of showing up in profound ways. I feel our dreams are coming into fruition without much effort. Most people know one of my medicines is doing Vision Boards/Dream Boards 3 of my clients told me that they were working on theirs on New Year's eve so that prompted me to get mine out. What I have realized that this year it no longer works to paste and glue from the subconscious we must be very present in what we want to manifest. The ability to create miracles are very real and present, however we have to surrender and trust that the angels, guides, and ancestor's know what they are doing by making us aware of the presence. This last month ancestor's of mine and other's were making themselves very present saying you can't forget me. As we are moving into the New Year when on the winter Solstice of the 13 Grandmother's Grandmother Beatrice spoke of honoring your instruments taking good care of them. I am being guided to tell you what ever is your medicine to take care in taking care of them with greater honor and keeping them in a good place.

Now the pink rose has great meaning for me many years ago I was with my boys who were quite little we were on our way to Chef Chou's on Mother's Day. I said I wanted a pink rose meaning a rose bush then being at the intersection of San Antonio Road the man came running with a pink rose saying, " Happy Mother's Day.' This to me means the Divine is here with just a thought, plus being the Grand Divine of the Universe. I also use roses in my Sweat lodge in the water, if I have them in my yard I choose the color that most fits the theme of the lodge. If I don't have my own I buy them again focusing on the color that needs to manifest with our lodge. I also sell some Flower Essenes in our store of flowers I have a relationship with.

In closing for this year the work is staying positive, doing affirmations keep the energy rising feeling the blessings of Gratitude. Writing those Gratitude lists as often as need that is my prescription for 2011. (Also keep the excercise rolling to clear limitations or blocks, plus you will feel better physically & emotionally! AHO)

Mom's new addition!

2011-01-10T11:13:00.001-08:00

So after Mom's loss we were on a search for a companion for her Sara(cat). It was definitely an adventure; first we went to the Medford humane society to possibly pick up Felicia but she had been adopted. We stopped of at a pub called Avalon with Sunday jamming and great food so not all was lost. The next week I was in session came out Mom asked if Mac called? I asked why then she said he would be bringing some kitten so within a few minutes we had 3 little girls running around. Well she took home this one naming her Samee'. Life is a dance to continue with each challenge rising to new beginnings continually.

Shhh........waiting for our Tessa!

2010-12-27T14:19:00.000-08:00

Life has changed now being a grandmother, and GiGi being a Great Grandmother using GG for shorting it. We have moved into an elder spot but also being wiser I hope for that. This Holiday Season came easier the store was blessed with wonderful people doing their shopping here with joy. When I was a little girl some-one asked me what did I want to be when I grow up I said," a gift wrapper." Each time I would wrap a gift I would tell the story plus add many blessing to the big bows I put on. When my sons were little we always went to the Nutcracker at the Opera House is San Francisco, so in the back round at the store Xmas songs playing. We had our harpist Patti come play the store was filled with JOY and stories. This is Mom's house ready for Tessa. I usually have the festivities at my house but her place is larger a changing of the guards for our family. In our family the food is very important it is a medicine of sorts and blessings to feed people so with that our menu reflects much thought. On Xmas day Mom and I watched," Julie, Julia" made a gourmet menu of sorts, having a quiet pensive time. I was reminiscing of those days when my children were little with all the confusion and bustle now we are in that phase that I had heard about but am living. I wrote my step-brother Bob saying don't you miss those days......I know he does. ( life has changed for him) So what does this blog mean well in a short story being with or without family this year is a huge awakening to our roles in our family and the bigger family. Today my friend Steve was in we chatted about how it is to take care of yourself, not being in denial rather then isolating and not even knowing you are. He is being very vulnerable which makes it easier to be intimate with him and that is what this time is about. I feel such a blessing with people taking their walls down and opening to the new Now. It is no mistake that there are Angels walking this earth through these changing times, magically miracles are happening. We are the ones that they are talking about it is our time to rise being in humility to open our hearts for that profound healing that is necessary. Don't be discouraged if some are still in that drama earth cycle just keep the focus on peace and joy. I don't want to be one of those blogs that preaches on about stuff. I just want to share the heart felt family and grand family we are part of. Yesterday Jan mentioned wanting to go into the Marble Mountains this next summer in July so I have made a few calls checking on that seems like it might happen. A huge role of initiation for us. She wants to take her son, the last time we were there together she was pregnant with this son. I took my boys for the rites of passage to the wilderness. This wilderness is where the Karuk tribe would do Vision Quest for becoming a leader. Jan & I have been blessed to know about the power of this area through our Medicine Elder Charlie Thom. I chatted with another powerful woman Cora she says she and her son Chaley if possible will go. As this idea percolates I will write about the power of such a trip with these amazing women. So that is what is birthing during this Holiday Season no accidents here. We of course would have horses take in our gear but walk in the 15+ miles a shaman's journey, this excited me beyond my wildest dreams. I have been attempting to rope in different people since we have had the store unsuccessfully but now it seems as the energy is there. I am always surprised as to how this magic shows up we can never really guess it is definitely the mystery unfolding.

Winter Solstice in Mt Shasta

2010-12-21T12:27:00.001-08:00

Well another year has gone by and here we are facing ourselves once again. Hey how is that working for you? There is so much to say yet so little. I am once again writing morning pages, I realized how many great things have come from journaling. I know that we are meant to be more intimate with those that are in our circles. It is a time to reach new heights in our spirituality. It is a completion of many things experiencing a certain mount of grief. What was all that about? We are in new territory all you had to do is acknowledge the Eclipse to know something is here to change. We need to do more be more authentic being our true self, not protecting out of fear but be that true adventure for these times.

I want to thank all of you who frequent our store and our lives, it is an honor and a blessing.

We are having a fire this evening honoring you in Gratitude for all you are doing and giving!

Our Angel Patrick Robinson's Living Tree Decorated!

2010-12-17T11:33:00.000-08:00

This is a picture of my running partner's Evelyn's son's honoring as our current Angel Patrick during this time and always in our community here. He is not forgotten!

Miracles, Angels and Completion?

2010-12-17T09:45:00.000-08:00

Between the Winter Solstice diving deep into what was this year about and being touched by these Divine beings with wings we are in our own dilemma of moving into those miracles. This week has been a turning point for many, feeling what feels like depression when actually it is that divine turning a corner of what we are creating in those miracles. Between our Angels, Mother Mary and Sister Teresa making themselves available we doubt our own belief is this really happening. We are receiving so many confirmations of faith and surrender to the Divine. Just when we feel we are lost one of these appears. In this time of the year we are especially sensitive to ancestors, and those non realities thinking it is something else they are communicating with us big time. I know if you have been that person who has helped in any way of souls passing they are definitely wanting you to know that though they are in another place they want to have communication. Some of us are the ones who hold that energy so they can safely go across that bridge into another land but once you have held that energy for them they continue to pray for you. I know most people seem more in tune to the Day of the Dead or Halloween however when the veils of darkness are upon us we are much closer to other worlds. Often it takes us to question am I nuts, well you are half way there always questioning sanity is part of being a sensitive. I am always telling clients that before we were admired for that connection understanding what a challenge it can be. This winter Solstice started much earlier then Dec. 21 with an eclipse, wanting to be either resting or not sleeping was the dive inward feeling some despair but in reality it is the time for meditation and exercise to stay grounded not taking these feelings to heart. Understanding the completion of many years so there is an air of grief for finishing up a grand task, plus starting a new one. We don't know what that a new is yet but we know we have a contract that needs to be completed. So hold on tight for 2011 to really get those projects off the ground, or out of you mind manifesting them with ease. I want to encourage you to enjoy what Holiday Season. I have been told, "I can't get into this Holiday Season," again there is that grief around it. Just start writing your gratitude list, then shift that energy towards appreciation raising our vibration to the new NOW! We are doing a great review then we don't really see the divine plan but once in gratitude we begin to realize there are no accidents. We are in the right place making new choices while completing old. Pat yourself on the back if you are reading this you are one of the Angels walking earth at this time. A HO to you!
Also a note our mountain has been so beautiful this week other worldly illuminated with a glow that is so powerful. I will attempt to get a photo of it before our storm coming in. Blessings!

Tribute to our Furry Friend Charlie!

2010-12-10T09:20:00.000-08:00

Well today started out in a dilemma, my Mom's kitty had sneaked out of her place either by me or her...She told him always you are an indoor cat but he wanted to explore the outside. She saw him last night attempting to coax him inside but his personality is very stubborn to his dismay. I went over this am to search which I did only when leaving finding his beautiful white body warm but his neck was broken. He knows nothing about outside found a warm place in an engine. Our furry friends create such healing. We wrapped him in a towel taking him to my ceremonial yard to put him to rest. I have done such things with my son's too many times to remember, but here I am with my Mom with her beautiful kitty. Life here in Mount Shasta has twists and turns that is challenging to say the least. Each person arrives with great expectation of their spiritual life, then in a few months admit they are put through the wringer. There is a great direction but then seemingly striped of everything you think you know about our spiritual life, grasping at trust and faith there is a bigger story. We continue to receive guidance hoping in our hearts of hearts that there is a miracle given by the Angels waiting to happen. I come in our store say a prayer to the Angels raise the violet flame, in gratitude. I then put on the 1008 names of the Divine Mother by a wonderful Swami of Amma's. We do what ever ritual we are drawn to do to continue to raise the store's and our vibration. I was talking to another wonderful spiritual woman who had a business for a short while now handling the fall out of having to close, with bill collectors. We come here with the enthusiasm of being part of a great community then each person still loving it but I hear the disappointment of the challenges or bankruptcy or breaking up of the relationship or losing my Mom's beloved furry friend it is definitely different then what we arrive thinking. Rest in Peace dear Charlie. (He is in the corner behind the lodge and Quan Yin with a rock on his resting place)

Happy Holy Days and Close of 2010!

2010-12-04T14:51:00.000-08:00

Now here we are wondering what and the heck happened to this year. I feel we have really made great strides to achieve great rising our vibration to that Golden Age. We can feel there is a huge change but it has yet to manifest in what ever way we think. It is a very exciting time to be alive, we said we would be here and finally it is our time.
I have gotten information from so many feeling the draw inward not really realizing that the Winter Solstice is early by a few weeks. It is also creating obstacles that are seeming like Mercury in Retrograde which doesn't happen till Dec. 10. My suggestion is enjoy the draw inward, keep up the meditation, exercise is a must......I know it seems like I want to come home sit my self on the sofa, drink my tea/chocolate/coffee/or? but in reality that sofa will wait for you to finish the much necessary release that exercise gives you during the challenging energetic time.
Also tonight is a ceremony for Gita I want to send her all the blessings for her continued growth, empowerment into being that dynamic teacher she is. I also want to pray for my dear sister Christine and brother Marco for all the blessings they have given me and my mom. I know this will be a power house of a ceremony. I send all our blessings to each person from the door way in to the door way out. I also bless all of us who wanted to be there that our blessings go far and wide to support this beautiful ceremony we all are blessed to have as our medicine. A HO!

Holiday Season and close of 2010

2010-12-04T14:46:00.001-08:00

Town-wide open house in Mt Shasta Nov.19

2010-11-19T16:48:00.000-08:00

We are here encouraging local business for locals to shop and get to know our local merchants with their stores. We have Patti Hill playing her harp, I can feel the Angels arriving in droves. It is so wonderful to feel the new NOW with the high vibration moving each of us beyond what we even know. I have been really inward thinking about what this all means which more will be revealed. We are conduits being arranged in synchronized way that we don't even understand. I know that through this shake up we are holding a heart felt love energy to keep it all anchored. As I am writing this I hear her harp playing with such grace and beauty. She was saying she was born here, went to Marin County came back was told the story of the Mountain deciding that it is necessary that she do a CD of this story about our Mountain. She said she is a teacher and always a student her lovely CD's are available at our store. We have decided to carry mostly local artist plus books by our locals too. Have a beautiful Thankful Thanksgiving being filled with Gratitude! Sunday weather permitting we will be hugged by Amma too!

Tessa's Halloween with us after lodge!

2010-11-12T12:54:00.001-08:00

Nov.11,2010

2010-11-12T11:08:00.001-08:00

This autumn has been spectacular with the color change. Last year the leaves fell off the trees after a heavy rain, this year they are hanging on in their beauty and color. The reminder that we are letting go at a slow rate, not to say it is a light process. Actually this year is a bigger process of letting go of those people and drama's that do not work towards the light of the I am presence our mission in this life. Life I say to clients/friends I thought I would be younger but these times is my contract to what ever is necessary to raise not only my vibration but my strength with running, cutting wood what ever it takes for the next step. So that comes to 11:11 I started my first date with it in 1991 at Stoney Brook Lodge a meditation with Sally Moon, since then I have done so many ceremony's including a pipe ceremony when my house closed in 1996 on that date so here we are. Yesterday there was a huge meditation that is continuing for 11 days to hold the light vibration. It is absolutely essential to bless your homes with light, violet flame, incense, sage as well as your business to keep the vibratory rate high. Also getting back to the physical people are showing their true colors, which is often a surprise plus mean spirited. Just remember it is a natural cleaning out process to draw those energetic people that are your team for this huge change it is historic for healer/avatars/teachers none can be compared in this time frame. So my suggestion is to keep positive no matter what, exercise, meditate, and laugh a lot. Don't take this stupid, mean, political behavior too seriously we have bigger fish to fry and we are. Yesterday a group of very cool young people threw the door open to our store saying Happy 11:11, enlightened being with such an awesome attitude, another woman from Australia to be here for the 11:11, some guys from Grass Valley who paint, really confirmation of our roll in our store such a beautiful day. I am grateful for these beings that visit us and spend their money with joy. I know in my heart of hearts this is why we have spent so much energy, money and time, now all we need is our next step to consolidate our finances that made it possible for us to stay open in the most drastic of situations knowing we were to do whatever it takes to continue to be here. We have achieved that with honor, oh yes there are some who say nasty negative things but that is the dark that is always around, so I pray for them. I want to thank all of those good souls who have supported us by coming in and checking how we are doing thanking us as they leave for being here. I also want to thank those spirits that beckon people from highway 5 or from our building calling people to enter they do not go unnoticed with deep gratitude in honoring the unseen forces.

Snow is on the Mountain!

2010-10-25T12:47:00.000-07:00

Today feels like the weather is upon us...with the Full Moon in Aries Oct.22 we had a storm blow in, planned was having a drumming at our store, but due to potential weather and me doing a home project it didn't happen. We plan to have a drumming in Jan. at the Black Bear Gallery having Walking Eagle bring his pow wow drum sing songs for the winter. It is something he and I started in the early 90's just recently doing it again. We are all looking forward to the manifestations that are being present in 2011. I see Wayne Dyer & Gregg Braden mentioning the changes how our mind is the one to create the new NOW! I remember being at Jeckle Island with Gregg, Drunvalo, Tom Kenyon, Ken Page, Bob Stevens and Jo-Anne Cornish it seems like a life time ago around 1996....so much has changed and yet we are still addressing similar issues creating the Creation which of course Hicks has really focused on along with Patricia Robles reminding us of this special time that we said we would do. Now is the conquering of our thoughts and creating the world that is in the 5 dimension. I am happy to hear all this encouragement, no dooms day....Seeing the beauty of this picturing knowing we are all in the perfect place no matter how it feels. I know it takes courage and humility to move beyond this current status qua, but I can guaranty it is worth it. We said we would be part of this change and we are. This coming weekend I will be down in Los Altos pouring water at Paul Rubio's lodge along with Daniel Foor for our closing meeting of our Wilderness Quest of 2010. It is an honor for him to have us do this I appreciate it.

After Quest-Fall into Autumn

2010-09-24T12:03:00.000-07:00

The beauty of being in the woods co-facilitating with Daniel Foor was once again a great success. It took energy from having to re-schedule due to 4 ft. of snow for June 21 which created a back lash of cancellations for one reason or another. We along with our registrar Stacey worked at keeping the energy fresh. I want to thank Paul Rubio for opening his lodge in Los Gatos for our group for our 4 th year. I had to go down with my 2 friends to clear the area at Methodist Camp we use with tobacco and chain saws it created a gateway of sorts with this huge tree that was across the water way. It made is so beautiful looking from the water, through the fire to the lodge a powerful site. As we move into the leaves falling away our group worked on that plus creating more of the authentic self for these Now times. It has been a powerful time for me as well. I re-connected with an old boyfriend teaching me to be open, follow the energy once again without expectations. I am finding most are getting out there being more visible for our life work, spiritually grounded, present and psychologically fit. Oh yes I have to mention that I am often telling clients, quester's whom ever the necessity for meditation is huge, plus being physically more fit. I ended up doing part of the Tin Man here in Dunsmuir. My daughter-in law Jaime only wanted to do the swim, bike asked me to do the run. It was a great family event before our Quest. I took our family down to say prayers at the camp before our group arrived after Tin Man including my grand-daughter Tessa who is 15 months. Getting back to the Methodist Camp was completely welcoming even though they were doing a bit of construction hurrying to complete before the weather changes in the mountains. It was a spectacular 4 th year, lodges were amazing, our cook was Kim who kept food out and prepared great meals. (Good mama in the kitchen) I want to thank all of you who with us in spirit saying prays keeping that focus. Our next one will be Aug. 7-14 2011 amazing.

By the Fire on the Full Moon

2010-07-27T13:47:00.000-07:00

As I sat by the fire on Sunday July 25 all these wonderous thoughts floated through my mind. I took a picture of the wood pile to show the amount of effort it takes to bring this type of ceremony together. We started Saturday covering the lodge with blankets removing the rocks from the pit adding new rocks. We were going to have help but as the time moved on Mom and I plugged on; having colorfull blankets first then others then heavy tarps plus my lodge it high so to achieve coverage I use a tall walking stick that seems to work just fine. Then preparing the fire to be ready in the morning all is needed is to light it. I was very happy with my wood, some that we had cut with my chain saw myself, plus my helper brought some, plus friends provided some from their homes. So starting the fire at 5:45 am........it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. I am still looking for my camera that is some where in never never land. It was an awesome day and lodge, knowing it was going to hot by noon we started right at 8 with four women each representing each direction, Mother's and daugthers. In the last round we prayed for the state of California prayers for Jerry Brown being our next governor, also for our town's financial growth while protecting our beautiful invironment. We prayed for our towns officals, police and fire department those who take care of our town.
Yesterday I went to Sand Flat to help build a lodge with my 2 guys David and Michael, for the First Sobriety Hoopa Sweat Lodge. It was so beautiful in the early hours of the morning, digging for the wholes for the willows, digging the fire pit...gosh how many times have I been the only woman doing such things. People miss out by not showing up it is so fun like when you were kids building the fort we are doing with it with all natural elements earth, water, fire and air in this breath taking place. I went over to my friends at Tara Refuge this am to pick fresh lavender for the lodge, they have a temple, 2 Stupa's and lavender plants every where with huge statues of Quan Yin & Buddha what a life. I am here in the store waiting for our first lodge, it is a beautiful day. Today also is the huge presentation of the I Am plays that people come from all over the world to participate in or watch. The streets are a bit quiet in respect and readiness for all the happenings this weekend, which isn't great for our business. I have written to Mother Meera about all this she is available all you have to do is write for prayers and she will focus on what you have written. I sent pictures of myself, Mom and my kids their gals and my grand-daughter Tessa so she has a visual of who she is praying for and a picture of our store too. In these earth changes times and rising vibratory rate so much is changing we need all the prayers we can get. Last weekend I was driving back here after our Wilderness Quest meeting I was listening to KQED radio there was this story of a new C.D coming out from the Georgian Chant of the Sister's of Avignon France. They played a bit, these Sister's are cloistered from the public but gave in to this production because their voices represent prayers going out for the world. I am looking forward to buying this when it comes out in Nov. I have used chants like this to clear spaces raise the vibratory rate or clear negativity that might be caused from some dark energy. Please focus on me finding my camera!

So now What is Next? No more Rahu!

2010-07-15T16:33:00.000-07:00

Here we are after the Eclipses ready for the Grand Cross
not knowing how this will effect each of us. I am just coming
out of Rahu that hast lasted 18 yrs it will be out in August.
For those of you who don't know Rahu who is the planet that
makes everything a challenge. I can say since I have been in it
since 1992 when one of my relationships started that too was doomed, finances the flow was perplexing issue, and things that were some what innocent would be taken the wrong way. I was advice a few years ago when I still had 4+yrs to go that I should meditate and fast doing practise to combat this? I don't think I was a success at that? Here is a picture of our Skype as we attempt to chat with my grand-daughter Tessa and see her as she grows. This is part of our store with gifts, vitamins, tinctures, books, tarot cards.....angels you can see a bit in the back round! It has been a wild ride ride for sure. The weather in the mountains this year has been one of the longest winters(springs) it is now 94 degrees with a beautiful breeze. I thought I would add this picture to show our natural progression of our store. Many know we were challenged in the beginning since I hadn't know much about the store I definitely was in a learning curve, then add crazy Rahu........I thought oh my Goddess what Karma did I create then I came to my senses realizing that I live in a swamp area it actually has nothing to do with Karma just water levels. So some times life just is, no big deep reason we are having the real deal human experience even here in Mt Shasta. What most don't know as we develop we are called to do our own psychological work then we can play in the big field of human. See even in this picture I am concentrating way too much not just in the flow. So I have had to do many things I hadn't planned to. This week I was at my favorite Statue Factory we were talking business I was saying just that the owner chimed in saying for the last 2 yrs it is a paramount business that only those who have small business can relate. People have had to use credit in odd ways to keep their doors open then being penalized for doing just that with credit scores. It is a sad day that even in busy places so many are called in ways they hadn't imagined years ago. It is all in the process of turning around, plus being out of Rahu will certainly help.

Independence Day

2010-06-30T13:24:00.000-07:00

Well here we are with half of the year done, now going into the second half........what in the world has gone on? We are raising our vibratory rate at such a degree. In the world scope there is much going on with earth changes the oil spill. Then we have these huge gatherings on the Solstice of the Indigenous Grandmother's with Jyoti, Steven organizing it with a sound system that is so advanced to handle 17,500 on the call and will continue. Then the next call with another alliance Evolutionary leaders with Deepak Chopra, Lynne Mc Taggart, and Jean Houston this is the first of many calls. So something big is happening if we can just grasp how important each of us are, we said we would do this. I am continuing to run with my partner Evelyn every other day since last year, for the aerobic energy to help digest these energy's. It is very important to meditate, work out the vibs are so powerful just sitting on the couch eating bon bon's isn't going to work. Drink water, eat natural foods with exercise will relieve the tension of what in the heck is going on. I am not a doctor this is a suggestion and what works for me and my clients. Anything strenuous you need to consult with your Doctor but that too is a great idea to check where you are.
We had to postpone our Wilderness Quest there was 4 ft of snow and ice, then 15 days later it is all clear. What it taught our group that we are not in charge where Mother Nature is concerned. Then many issues came up for various people that is was good that the plan had changed other things needed to be attended to and being out in the wilderness wouldn't have worked. It is our 4 th year of completion and letting go in grief of that completion. I am always amazed at the power of the group that Daniel and I gather, it is such a blessing. I already have 2 possibilities for next year very wonderful people so if that is an indication of what 2011 will bring. It is this 2010 the intention is the key for planting then next year creating that which is our destiny. Some one said the key is responsibility which is what we are having to live out. I see these spiritual people who have all this insight but lack the grounded earth stuff of following through.
So make this 4th that part of you souls independence during the Grand Cross eclipses, make the best of it all. Another huge thing is don't keep your mind in that maze of thinking negative or what if or dooms day when those thoughts start just stop. Fill you body with light or rainbow color just don't give your mind free rain of those thoughts it like to control but you are in charge don't forget. I also find if I work in my beautiful garden pulling out weeds do clean out I am doing on the inner as well plus my garden looks great or clean out a closet anything you can do to occupy your mind.

Mt Shasta Herb & Health this week!

Adding pictures to our Blog!

Mother's Day

2010-05-08T09:53:00.000-07:00

I am happy to wish each of you a Blessing during this time, we each support some-one in need.
Our compassion is what defines us as being truly human. Yesterday I bought these flowers for my Mom and all those who fit the bill. I wanted them to be in our store to bless each person as they arrive. It has been a deep process through the last month many have complained of depression, exhaustion, just not getting done what we want. Now we must realize that we have been in my realms during these many earth changes. One of the references I keep making to my clients it what is it to be a sensitive? In this New Age there is the reference that if you are feeling life to depth of your soul there must be something that you are doing wrong. Which of course is not the case, there are no shields or saying psalms, prayers that keep you away from your basic nature of being that spiritual sensitive. Of course prayers, psalms, affirmation assist in the journey but the depth of feeling is really where we are at. In the past what would work would be using drugs, alcohol anything that would reduce that feeling. Now through many efforts towards recovery of our spiritual self we have found there are many things that work better. During this time it is important to keep moving with what exercise you can do, eat right, vitamins, rest, and yes of course MEDITATION!!!! Keep it simple check with your physician to make sure everything is working right before attempting anything too strenuous. These are suggestion that are working for me. My running partner and I started last year, even during the Turkey Trott 10k on Thanksgiving that was a hoot, plus unbelievably beautiful along the Sacramento river with the autumn leaves. I have to trick myself into to constant regime attending a 5k-10k race a month, plus doing Zumba twice a week. Now this week I have had that cold that is going around so the challenge is to go home not feel guilty about resting, maybe even not returning calls be quiet, yet continuing meditation as often as I can. So ......keep it rolling. Also I do commit to writing more frequently on this blog once and while I hear that people enjoy reading my blog, Thank YOU! I do get calls as to what is going on with this energy, I am not an astrologist but living where I do I get very distinct impressions and share those. I will do it more here also. Enjoy life, don't take it all to seriously, but we are responsible be responsible for those things that are truly yours, let go of what isn't. Plus on a note avoid certain substances that would hinder your spiritual life, it is hard enough to make heads way of what is real, why put something else in the mix?

Almost Spring Time

2010-03-11T11:54:00.000-08:00

It is hard to believe it has been so long since I wrote, time of diving inward is huge, while still moving? What is up with that? My running partner and myself did the run in Redding the beginning of the season. It was a beautiful day,nice enough to wear shorts, coming back to the snow is rather like the feeling of cutting loose into spring as the shoots are pooping up while the snow is flying. It has been an intense Winter Solstice in a good way, with earth changes. We are finding to our core what is important how is it we want to live here on Earth. It has been said the earth will continue to change till humanity changes, now is that possible. Is it possible for our government to clean out we all had the optimism with our new President but now there are those questions since we have entered another war, and the health bill has snags. We look at Congress and the Senate wondering if there is anyone who can say it isn't corrupt? A long time ago when I was carrying the big book of Recovery I felt that it is necessary to have drug and alcohol testing in those places, we are probably letting addicts run our country. We have since recognized the pharmacology how addictive they are. All in all I feel more positive the time of the completion of the decade of 2000 is making it more obvious that all must change, plus the economy has and still is hitting the middle class scrambling for basic existence. I know if you meditate, exercise, and do necessary spiritual practises we will make those changes in a big way. I know family's are moving in discontentment wanting that more communal group then we have to be accountable in a big way no more using people for our own advancement. How do I know this well I have offered myself as the sacrificial offering for those who are unable to make changes so they go after me, when in reality all I am doing is reflecting their stubbornness to continue in life as it is, silly humans. In therapy terms this is called projection if you are accusing others of whatever we need to look in our hearts to see if in fact it is ourselves that is doing the behavior. So...Rock on into Spring!

The Dive inward no matter what!

2010-01-22T14:53:00.000-08:00

We have just come out of days of no power here in Mt Shasta, people still have no power here or in Mc Cloud. We first experienced this on Xmas Eve, then again New Years and now days of white and light are the Great White Brother-hood knocking on our psyche? Are we being forced to make life simple? Are we being shown that the journey for those of us who live here that communing with spirit is truly our destiny. While in I read "Loving Bones". Well I was drawn to this but not knowing why, it is all about a girl who has been murdered and who from the other side she chooses to communicate with. What a journey of confirmation that these things are part of the New NOW we are experiencing even from mid west to our wilder states. I know when my friend Jeannie Stone passed from leukemia she visited me often I didn't dare tell a soul till recently. I would have been on medication and locked up. She wasn't happy leaving her 2 little brothers, or her mom & dad.....but knew that her passing would have a profound effect on all of us. It taught me bunches, so now knowing that such things are common knowledge is such a relief for those of us who have had to hide out being invisible. It has been a profound time that is being born in this 2010. Once again a huge exodus of souls from the earth quake in Haiti a showing to each of us what is important. I wish I had more money to give also would love to go help in a physical sense, but I know on the inner our assisting those souls who have passed sending light to the country knowing that we are all connected. I had just finished the biography of Dr. Paul Farmer's work in Haiti how brilliant soul he is. What focus he has for such poverty/healing is commendable to say the least. His drive for knowledge, education and a basic command for helping these people leaves me feeling very insignificant with my own energy's doing so little. It is a powerful time to make choices that are so important to move ourselves forward in honest ways. I want each of us to do our own inventory of how can we be more in our own authenticity that would offer more to this life?

Blue Moon of 2009, Winter Solstice, New Moon

2009-12-15T14:57:00.000-08:00

Here we are in the closing of the year, what is up for you? Is there unfinished business surfacing. A Healer friend talked today about how we are finally in that sacred body aligning many old life's into the New. That is partly why this close is so threatening with challenges. We have had our own, I am still writing you name it Congress, the President, Walley Herger (even called his office about this credit dilemma the guy there said just sell something, what an idiot has he seen the market.....not so easy, plus that isn't the best solution) It for us is a time of aligning our shadow fear focusing not on reality but the magic that is just before us. Mom has gone through first the flu and now another, partly emotional due to see things in reality coming out of a long denial. I am still working out running when I can with this weather, doing Zumba, did a 6 mile race for Thanksgiving. I keep telling my clients the importance of now with our physical body's to reeve it up with exercise to combat the higher vibratory rate that is moving through us. Being the time to get into better alignment getting out of denial acceptance and moving on. It is very important not to maintain negativity no matter what is dished out, once you know who or what it is let go let God and move to a higher place. I feel very fortunate that there is information about such things so available where even in the 90's we still had a bit of that Pollyanna approach of process till you fell into exhaustion, now we get the information do what is necessary and move beyond the drama. So I honor you and thank you for being on my blog reading my words focusing in 2010 to be more out there to have our current credit challenges taken care of so we have more time to focus on the business and doing more out there work. It will be a great awakening to ourselves and other in 2010. Peace, Love, and Wishing you JOY for the Holiday's and New Year! A HO!

Current Energy

2009-11-20T03:44:00.000-08:00

We are all in the tale spin of the washing machine called life. It is an interesting time of self moving. We have interesting people coming in our store. A wonderful fellow from England sharing his knowledge with us. I made some flower essence for him our completion of roses which was great with sweet intentions for him and his friend. Life can be so easy and uplifting, then it can be so challenging in the same time. When life goes smoothly it makes it easy to enjoy but when we feel like we are swimming up stream that is another story. In 1992 in Vedic Astrology I entered Rahu which lasts for 18 yrs which is coming out in 2010, what I got it means is each step has that pull of what is going on. I started a relationship which lasted 6 yrs., it definitely has it's challenges. We gave up a business, but when to Findhorn a plus. Each has shown more of who I am what I am able to rise above, even in the spiritual challenges. Then bought this building that had it's challenges and now with the current banking there would be no way we could get a loan but we did. We ended up having some construction that we hadn't the finances for but we did it. Moving each step of the way, then we were able to re-fi with a great guy from Wells Fargo Michael Rivera.......then our renter left just as the market was clear down from the banks last year. We are still here hanging on so Rahu has taken it's course with me. I have glimmers of an easier way coming and I believe that too. I love the Hick's Ester claims it well worth keeping in the Vision, Go-Gratitude is another absolutely positive move to stay in. I love the clients I have I just need more, when people travel through I do reading suggesting phone sessions at a reduced rate, partly it is once we have that connection it is great to continue maybe once or twice a month. The people I do that with is amazing results for them, well worth the time and money. I see more of that happening but in the mean time the sooner thing shift the better for our store and our lives. Mom is at an age where she shouldn't have these challenges she is in our store to give her wisdom and insight. We have an Amma altar envisioning in us being in a flow of ease, so when we see her tomorrow at Devi Baba we are praying once again about that shift. When we had the construction and financial burden of it all she would say NO Worry.......No Worry, that would ring in our ears. Each step of the way she has been in our energy, now we need that last shift for our beautiful store and clients.....Life with ease and beauty to do our work. For Mom to be able to enjoy this time. I write about so many things, mantra's, women's groups, (my group has been going for 3yrs which everyone is fabulous) We had a few have wild deals that took our group to another level of partly confusion then more insight. I don't think that most realize the level of commitment and intimacy that really happens, if they did they would realize the importance of integrity that they owe to me and the group. When people miss behave or just drop off, there is a time of churning that goes on. I feel that we are women envisioning and dreaming in such a deep way that when that isn't respected it is such a shame. Our groups are confidential but also such wonderful deep work the mutual respect for the work is a must. I really love being there holding the energy for great things, it is some of my best work. People also are beginning to realize that phone work is so deep. I remember many years ago when I started doing that it wasn't popular, now things have changed. It can be really positive, conference calls are great for groups, so much can be done while you are sitting in what ever space, your car, at home, in the woods etc. So easy to do this work. I am up in the middle of night not sleeping pondering this all, so look forward to my writing on some of my adventures, when my book comes out about my first teachers, native American successes and challenges, what is really is about the Red Road, the Great White Brotherhood some of my first encounters, Crystal healer....the non reality that is as real as anything. Magic that can be created even in Rahu. Rahu made me become more determined in so many things including exercise, work ethics, being that nature women not really thinking anything was impossible endure no matter what. I got that card from the Wisdom Deck of the Crones which i found myself a bit resistance, because I feel like I have Endured....so why do I have to get a card, but there was this woman drinking tea with a toning bowl behind her with Mt Shasta in it which looks like me. My first journey to Mt Shasta in 78 connecting with an Avatar continuing my journey with our store. Then for my before turning 60 I Native American Church meeting praying in Gratitude about my life the firer keeper Corey gave me a bowl like that for my healing work, which blew me away any I use. So I am looking forward to a more
positive 2010. I feel we are ending the year with more insight and need to envision the good things even when we are challenged with our current situations. This week I spend an enormous time with banking,even wrote a letter to Congress about how terrible it is for small business, a part of Rahu I can't ignore. Credit Cards limits lowered when there are no late payments to such low deals just above by such a small amount of what is owed. I talk to people hanging on but having no way to proceed when there are in the red, no lending no matter what equity........plus a certain arrogance around it. Then there are some kind souls who understand but their hands are tied, even non-profit don't want to touch you unless you want to hire new employees now that would be great however when you can't pay yourself how in the world can you take a grant to get employees when what business's need is relief around consolidating existing debt at lower interest so we can get fluid. Yes being positive marketing moving in more advertising what ever it takes is great, but these other things are so time consuming to the small business, I am glad Mom can handle the store while I am doing this........damn Rahu.

Our Car Story

2009-10-16T13:55:00.000-07:00

Fall the Leaves are Just Turning

2009-10-07T15:40:00.000-07:00

I can't believe I haven't written so much has changed in the Universe, with the beginning of the Summer Solstice going through the summer of Eciplses which were huge. In fact one on 9-9-09 was suppose to be one that hasn't occurred for any of us in this life time. There was a group who spent the night on the mountain singing drumming playing instruments then came by our store to check in telling the tales of how great it was, plus they got snowed on you could feel the energy that was very powerful. This group then went to Stewart Springs continuing the process. The following weekend on the 15 th was very powerful I can't remember a time as wonderful since the Harmonic Convergence in 1987. We also went to a memorial for Uncle Kenny we offered our pink roses for the ceremony it was at the Community Center for the whole weekend. Listening to the stories of how this Uncle touched so many peoples life was truly a gift. He met with Yogananda on the beach having him in the physical teach him about meditation. This has been the summer now we are into the fall with early cold weather feeling that life will never be the same. It is a new day. Mom and I have been going to Kirtan with Sadav it is wonderful on Wednesday nights which has helped our store (also having it play through the business day, we are selling the current CD that was made on 9-9-09) We also got a renter that is such a relief, we had to be in Gratitude for the showing up in a different type of business then expected that was also a new experience. I am taking a writing class up at Yreka which is awesome, it is one step beyond Artist Way stream of conciousness writing she has a great way of doing our 10 min or 20 min stream, very fun, very exposing.....whewww weeee so here I go to write that memiors. So between my running with my partner 4+ miles since May now writing. I feel it is an important to time to move forward with positive affirmations or thought stop that negative nonsense. Listen to CD's or web sites that support this Abraham's, Wayne Dyer, just move out of suffering no matter what is going on. We can all say ain't it aweful so what does that do? Give us more of the same, stop that old story, creat a fun new story raise your vibration......oh I know we are so use to OUR story it is huge to let it go. We are in a New NOW this summer showed us big time so think positive thoughts it doesn't have to be reality dream big talk about it creat it......yes Yes we can!

Wilderness Quest/June

2009-07-09T10:04:00.000-07:00

We made it! It was a great Quest however June energetically was definitely a challenge, each person who called or asked keep feeling that churning of things not coming together. I told various people my feeling were things would not get going till after the Eclipse and Full Moon of July 7. So our gathering this year was wonderful full participation with ease, building the lodge, our Quester's going out early Wednesday morning, the camp cooks rocked ......a very sweet energy. Shannon is pregnant with her 3 rd child bringing her other 2 children Brady and Taylor added the family sweetness. We have many who would love to have a family then being blessed with such a sweetness was a big plus. Patrina and Shannon took care of everything that mommy's do, the kitchen is such an important nurturing place needing that type of energy to create the foundation for our group. Daniel and I had a wonderful flow each doing what is necessary to make it a safe and nurturing experience for all. The lodges were wonderful we had so much help this year from everyone carrying rocks, wood, blankets, tarps what ever was necessary we had helping hands with good attitudes. We decided to stay at the camp after the Quester's came in which was great we had music great conversation's and re-entry with ease. Sunday we did a fabulous closing circle then broke down the lodge also with ease. All of us go to the Goat for our fixes of food which is also great. Then Mom came in the store to open for our group they were more the generous for our store. She prepares the ceremonial food, comes to the lodge, she was amazing running lodge telling her story now every one's mantra is "and that ok too, " So she is happy to have the group come in to check them out after such a process of our Wilderness Quest. I also want to thank Jenn for getting a moon lodge together for the women this year it was beautiful and very powerful for our women to be honored for the power during their moon time.
We are really excited for our coming 4th year. Several years ago when I took a group to when we came out of Gun Boot Lake I was asked about Princess Diana and Mother Theresa who passed as we were gone. That was huge the amount of sorrow and loss that was experienced world wide. Then this year Michael Jackson was so fascinating the implications one of our themes this year was any range of addiction to see how when we are pre-occupied we are unable to stay in our hearts and really focus on our own authenticity. It could range from substance, people, food, adventure, business, debt or anything. It is also helpful for people to realize prescription drugs how dangerous they are. I feel we are only beginning to comprehend the magnitude of his passing. It has been the events like 911 or the Tsunami or Katrina to begin to interpret the significance that it has world wide, plus our current economic challenges. So being in the wilderness was such a gift with such divine beings to check out of the current climate of the world to once again be in nature, drink pure water, smell and feel the green of nature, oh yes and bless the bugs which after the wettest June in 120 yrs brought a new level of respect for our bug friends. We were praying the week before for good weather the spirits answered our prays Thank YOU, it was perfect weather. We were truly blessed!

OM Amma!

2009-06-08T15:43:00.000-07:00

Well after writing my last post we drove 5 hrs to see the divine Amma it was well worth it, we drove in the parking lot at 7:40 pm from Mt Shasta, they directed us to a private sweet lot with new stables being built mostly Indian parked there with children pregnant Mom's another beautiful sign of our own birthing...arriving shortly after the meditation, talk and blessings of the water. We received our token, received water then going to the temple with all the buzz a gentle soft energy. In the ride up some of the seva people were talking about how nice everyone is being we were almost driven to the door very little effort for much in the night. We had just had the Monks here from India doing the AMitabha Buddha of Light Sand Mandala also doing the White Umbrella Teaching.....then to see Amma on stage with this beautiful White Umbrella with Gold Trim in this life there are no accidents. Through the night I was aware of what gifts we have receive just by putting the effort to arrive at these blessed events. How life is inner twined with many teaching about Light and letting go of Negativity(White Umbrella Teaching) the monks explained the whole process of the Empowerment and here we are with the Divine Mother giving us such sweet powerful confirmation. Through the night there was laughter and a sweet flow of energy. I felt very alive and awake, I also felt the energy of my new baby grand daughter Tessa Lili Held the energy of blessing this old soul welcoming her to the divine. Seeing so many baby's and little children come for the blessings from Amma. We went up for our hug around 5 AM my mom taking Tessa's picture Amma giving her a big wet kiss for our baby.....as usual I am completely awe stuck in a time warp of what is really happening. What I do know I felt a focus in my prayers very direct clear communication to the Divine knowing more is possible. In the past I often would come in such sorrow or fear that Amma would say things like no worry....last time it was just feeling good for me she gave us both a blessing. This time felt like something big was achieved some big prayers and medicine were handled. When I started my spiritual journey I vowed that my spiritual would come first I vowed to follow my instructions which I have often questioning it saying are you sure I did it? or maybe I heard wrong, but knowing in my heart of hearts that is one thing I can do with some ease even if I feel completely unsure of the direction. It was when the message came to buy this building knowing that it was next to impossible and divine energy would have to help that divine energy was my son Josh signed on our building without his income this wouldn't happen, he put trust in me but I knew it was our destiny. Then we had these floods that first financially was a huge stretch putting the room together again, having to re-do the bathroom for ADA, I would ask are you sure....the answer was always the same....After putting in a french drain with not 1 but 2 sump pumps, having the whole grounds to clean up and do sod in the pouring rain. (never have done sod and no real desire to do sod) Then carrying 66 garbage cans of rock and dirt....now I was angry and saying are you sure? My hands were so sore I couldn't do massages or even do readings with such physical labor. I knew in my heart of hearts I was working through some very deep emotions and clear karma. So this night I felt that all that was behind us knowing we have done our work even with criticism with our current economic situations knowing we have done the best for 2 older women, in sales, being positive, advertising, and doing what ever it takes to achieve our goal. I was talking with our wonderful account Ann De Gray asking questions about this she was saying such positive things giving to push knowing we are doing the best. I appreciate those who have been so kind Jimmy Aquilla who was our contractor who even paid for our cement work till we could pay. We have been blessed with angels coming our way. Last year a sweet client Anne gave me a generous gift, then this year Katra moved forward with no questions asked just believing me our process. So sitting here with Amma knowing we have arrived in a special time. My dear Daniel Foor the gift of him doing his dissertation PHD how blessed I feel for the work we do together, really praying of how little we knew each other with his insight we are on our 3rd year Vision Quest. He is such a powerful teacher and a gift to the human race. When my Mom almost passed he supported me in such a kind way just checking in, for that I will always appreciate. As I sit here with Amma all of these stories are coming together one day soon writing about them with the powerful non reality I have experienced with each rising of my own Phoenix. And love I have been loved more then I care to admit it really is almost an embarrassment of how deeply I have been loved, often in those lonely moments I as a woman alone forget that just feeling my loneliness. I know that can't be taken from me I need to remember how blessed I am. When I was told in 1991 in a Vision to write 4 Blessd on my license plate I felt embarrassed but did follow directions, it has taken till these moments to only begin to understand the depth of the instruction and many others.

Hang on Tight!

2009-06-05T10:28:00.000-07:00

Hey we are just coming through the eye of a needle know that it is our time, to enjoy letting go of addictions, all types; food, sex, love, nonfunctional, adventure, alcohol, drugs, and suffering. It is our time to enjoy this life, not let a moment go not being in Gratitude for the gift of Life. These times are shifting out all unnecessary energy raising our vibrations, moving into a New Now.......Hey I don't want to be one of those Blogs that is just PREACHING....Oh boy have I had challenges, I keep asking the questions and get the answers that may not be what I want. I wanted to re-fi but since our business shows a loss it is impossible so far to do, they just say can't help you. Then with no late fees getting lower credit card amounts some with no notice. I spend much time with Chevron Business account first they went to no paper charging a fee of $5 so I called and wrote, changed to online didn't receive on paid my bills on the second page in very small print saying that the site is EST, so a late fee. I wrote an email and called to no avail, so the next payment I paid 3 days early only to find once again Friday in the afternoon is EST another late fee, I wrote hard copy and email, also calling.......finally got a call back they would take the last 2 late off because it isn't posted well on their site. Of course calling again they said nope but would give me a discount on gas....I canceled that card, plus notified Congress of their unprofessional treatment, plus it is not on their front page of their online payment. These are the things that we who enjoy yes I said enjoy paying our bills, now can you imagine how much time I spent on this. Then to get our limits lowered on credit cards with no or little notice, with no late fees. I find each day spending too much time managing these things rather then doing my spiritual work. In the economic times making small business's have these challenges is time consuming besides with sales down all over, it takes enormous energy. I own 3 building, having good equity in them so to pull out cash to pay some debts, but unable to do so makes no sense......Now how with these limits being lowered is that going to effect our credit report mine in March was 760 + so we need to enjoy raise the vibration bless our vender's, banks, customers, and all we come in contact with it is our time even though we wonder what in the heaven is going on....We just want to have Fun, I hear that from so many sources. We want to have deeper loving relationships, live our life with passion and reality in the non reality.

What is up with this Life?

2009-06-04T15:52:00.000-07:00

We are all wondering this, is this the enjoyment of these times? The shift of the ages.......we hear that California is running out of money, talking about not paying welfare, closing parks, now we just came through a great election.....does any of this make sense? There was a blog of some-one saying that fear and control is the aim I feel freedom in this life is the aim. We have to rise into the new NOW taking those changes, not listening to the negativity however don't put your head in the sand either. One of my teachers said it is important read what is really going on, she was highly intelligent. So today our President is making peace with other country's moving toward a better communication for the world, so how can these other things be happening? Living in Mt Shasta with the economics of the last couple years have definitely been a push, I feel the shift, but it has to happen sooner then later to our divine city. After the Monks were here they did The White Umbrella Tara for our city to remove any negativity, which I am grateful. I felt the divine energy with them being so present, we are so blessed to have them do the beautiful Sand Mandala this one was so bright and the bringer of the light, I see that for our country, state and city. The challenge is to keep keeping on, in the past has been challenges, with now the huge manifestation of it all in a universal and intimate level. People are not what they seem often great disappoints for their own illusions of not being who they pretend we often are the last to realize they are con's. We are moving or dancing as fast as we can through this thick energy attaining awakening that is often painful opening to the awareness of the reality or non reality that this life has to offer. We in the store have been very blessed the last bit with great high beings coming in blessing us, giving us insight to our destiny .........being very supportive. Losing our renter going through a particularly tough winter with sales, we have been pushed into great trust and surrender which so many merchants in our divine city have. When the Mt Shasta Women in Business was started the aim was to support business through this time, after it took off in another direction because of the leadership but originally through the Artist Way group that it was birthed it was to do an out reach program to go to business's including the Chamber, local merchants, to actually dive deeper into the city. I saw a couple of years ago the decline in tourists, in comparison those people that would come here from all over the world to rejuvenate and realign, the people who come our really a blessing to our town. We see the changes many are opting to find other jobs to new city's, many property's are for sale due to the current economic challenge, the college has limited their classes, along with many schools all over........we have to look in a different way moving into the light seeing wonderful things to come, not in an illusion.

Can YOU Feel it?

2009-04-29T16:15:00.000-07:00

Beyond amazing the clearing and clean up that is upon us, shifting from the old way into the new. The way I am describing this is being a woman of a size 10 attempting to fit into a girdle of size 0 it is a tight squirmy fits taking it toll on pulling it up. We are sweating from the labor wondering is this what life is? I thought I would have this wonderful enjoyable experience and now here I am. A gal yesterday that was in our store was saying it would be much easier to leave but knowing that her contract was to be here hold the energy for what ever that is worth. We are changing everything on the inner to be who we really are authenticly. We had a women's lodge on Sunday a big wow very deep beautiful sweet experience. One of the gals called Monday saying she was already being hit with choices of what to say or not.....yes it is worth it but we have to do whatever we do. So our job is to be more spiritual through our challenges, moving into the Divine with more communication in clarity bringing ourselves and others up to the speed of the energy. I am expecting a divine one from my son Zachary and his wife Jaime this little one will bring a change they already have. The divine being has brought about a difficult communication just before their birth getting the entire family on the same page. We have had many challenges with our business, like so many retail especially in this area. I still feel very blessed to be here in this building with my Mom it has taught us so much about our own limitations to rise to being more. After our rental being available we have had to shift to make things happen into arena's that are not comfortable financially begging to trust and have faith. We have been pro-active with our entire lives not really knowing showing up saying YES not knowing the fall out that could occur. Yes Yes Yes.......welcoming our new baby new life in all arena's !!

New Earth Day!

2009-04-22T10:38:00.000-07:00

Hey all what creates a great blog, not looming ego but the commonality that we all are experiences during these challenging times, but a new has dawned........no matter how it may feel differently. We are making head way with our current economic climate, having the faith and trust that we will survive, very important time to move with our cheer leading for ourselves and others. When in the Harmonic Convergence how could we envision our Aquarius Age being so, we thought it would be a time of communion with the Divine, we didn't know we would have such huge decisions to make. We also couldn't predict the betrayal that we have experienced in our personal or financial institutions that have almost ruined many. People often are not what they seem to be they profess being spiritually ethical but are not often costing us greatly economically or emotionally, this is the cost of being sensitive. I am often with spiritual people who are saying they should have known however the cloak of darkness is often masked so in the new age it is said to protect yourself however some of these situations there is no way to know. We need to just understand we are gathering more information of the who's who of our spiritual life moving into a more powerful time with a better understand of the laws of this spiritual life we are living.
It is very exciting all the things that are coming to the surface showing what needs to be changed, realizing we are all connected, our current administration is certainly encouraging us with more human green alternatives, peace, communication and well being among nations and people. A HO! to all of it!

Spring Time

2009-03-27T16:16:00.000-07:00

Well we made it through another Winter Solstice, we are now seeing our flowers starting to sprout, along with the leaves just being shoots coming out. It is really amazing yesterday Go Gratitude started on the New Moon March 26 we can feel change in the air! My son and daughter in-love are expecting the end of May new beginnings for all. It really is amazing, it is time for the change to be here, no more negative economy talk. In 2 wks will be my Mom's 80th birthday on April 10 then a friend & I are doing a run. After work going to the bay area for the baby shower on that Sunday. Big time changes are here! We have been waiting for a new tenant since last year, due to circumstances beyond most of our control, we are very optimistic that it will happen. It has been a whirl wind of deep healing for all of us during this time, with the expectation of greater and better things coming. I am anxious to go deeper making better connections with positive people more intimate.
We had Wilderness Quest meeting, it is very exciting with the enthusiasm for our 3 rd year. We are in the West which is where I do my work the sacred dream birth and rebirth, healing in a profound way. I feel it will be sweet with our group people who will be in the woods with us for our 3 rd year. Looking forward to once again be in the belly of nature with such grand beings, earth beings ancestors and us along with the earth spirits Deva and fairy's. It all feel very powerful I feel blessed to again share this time with Daniel leading such a dynamic group through ceremony for a week.
On a personal note I feel deeper connections and drive in my own healing in areas I thought were done, but as we know we just relive that in a more profound way. It never ceases to amazes me there is no completion, or done but I feel for myself doing this makes me more compassionate to assist others in their own healing, more human. We are always on our own journey of spiritual opening to new awareness's.
We went to see Mother Meera that was divine in a very quiet meditative way. We were suppose to see her last year but she came to Ashland this month very sweet quiet power, that lasted for days after.

New NOW

2009-01-22T13:10:00.000-08:00

We have seen the beauty of this New Inauguration with our new president Obama and Michael, watching the re-newed confidence of our country. I can't remember a couple in the White House who really looks like they love each other, that is such a powerful statement for the NOW. His first day at work he accomplished so much. Star Flower Essenes Star talked about his speech and the key words what that represents New Age, planet, moving into an integrated AGE, a generation of service....there is so much one can hardly comprehend. I claim that with this re-newed confidence the stock market along with people stop the negative spin that happened with our current Stock Market, to focus on the change that is upon us.

Higher Vibration

2008-11-07T09:14:00.000-08:00

No matter how you feel about our current election watching the dancing in the streets all over the world something has changed. The vibratory rate is definitely asking to be more responsible on a world wide level. Each news caster is asking that we be involved in that change, do we really have a choice? Those of us who have been praying for the change for longer then we can remember we are here. It is up to us to keep the sacred as part of our every day practise! It has never been more important to meditate, pray, dance, chant, do that practise with reverence. The earth is celebrating the moment of history when we all said, "YES we can ." The new NOW has shown itself in a grand way, no-one can diminish the shaman show all over the world in the farthest places. Some-one said to me, " You must be happy about Obama, " My response is, " What I am happy about is how this has created Unity in the US and world wide. " The day of the election I was walking up my few stairs at my home in Mt Shasta the message came through loud and clear, "Everything has just changed. " Little did I realize how much, if there is anyone you need to send amends do it NOW. We can't keep keeping on with the old anger, it is time to move into that time of the sacred. I know being awake isn't a walk in the park there is much you are responsible to do within your own heart of hearts. Tell those that you love, you love them don't stop telling them often......you never know when that time comes when they will be in another reality. Many people have been experiencing grief it is a yahoo to letting go of the old pains, lives, with it comes the reality of a death of sorts, of ourselves. It is a good thing to feel those deep feelings let those tears roll, feel it in the depths of you soul, for a new day is here. On a personal level I need to make schedules of my events, which till now I was pre-occupied with our business, but the message is loud and clear to make flyers for a monthly sweat lodge, Artist Way groups, more often gatherings here in Mt Shasta. I did a reading the day of the election with a gifted soul Russy who I read for about 6 yrs ago working as a NBC news guy, it was wonderful to see him feel that connection that I knew we had and still have. When I read or do work I always wonder how they are, then when he arrived getting me caught up with his life, also respecting my work, is a big wonderful thing. I also received a beautiful email from a spiritual Minako Usui, she hoped I remembered her........how could I forget such a beautiful being. When she left my room on my purple sheets she had arranged the rose petals I used in a heart. I showed her the book I was in from Takako a famous woman who came here to write her book on her own spiritual journey. Takako blessed me with being incredibly reseptive to all the energy in the Sweat Lodge, having her crew to take pictures, recording the sounds of the fire and all that goes on in this sacred ceremony. It is time for us all to be more present more visible we have these contracts that we said we would in this NOW time. I am waiting for guidance as to how my schedule is going to be planned out. I have a feeling I will be doing a group once more in Georgia, that area is very good to me. I know the time is to keep moving, rising to the occassion. I am only to happy that mom with the gifts of the angels was able to stay and do her work more profoundly here at the store. What I have noticed she is definitely dancing with a more in depth spiritual connection with people, there is a feeling of genuine appreciation from the public on an intuitive level that they know they are gifted that she is still here to assist them in their journey. I have also noticed on a deeper level if they are not here to support this changed in a sweeter way she has completely let go of any expectations that they will get it. Being an Aries saying in a sweeter way is a huge acknowlegement of the amazing change that has occured with her near death experience.
Thanks for reading this!
A great woman Laura, who told me she reads it. ( she is a devotee of Amma )
I am always blown away about such things!

Huntress Weekend

2008-10-13T10:11:00.000-07:00

Wow I can't express how much in Gratitude I am for the women who came this weekend. The weather was very reflective of the challenges that are world wide. The north wind blew through with it's power, unraveling the fear and dread that was upon us. I always have more plans to do process's but this time I had to go with the flow. We were able to go on the mountain finding it was much calmer there then in town. We did an awesome sweat lodge. It is obvious the change we are the ones they are talking about especially this group of women. The energy and positive attitudes that they offered no matter what the circumstance was so powerful for me and for themselves. Even getting the buffalo from Devine Strong, a native who does ceremony for the buffalo, sweats for 3 days then uses a bow and arrow. He was suppose to drop the roast off in the morning on Friday at the store, after about 11:30, we called he had forgotten. His partner Amy said she would meet me at the Texaco Station in Grenada, who would guess there are 2 stations. I was at one, she fortunately realized that I must be at the one by the freeway. She comes with big smiles, she had been sick, I am very grateful that she delivered this ceremonial food with such sweetness and JOY. Each step of the way there was things like this but we all gathered together to pray, raise the vibration, chant, saying Patricia Robles Golden Light prayer as she is in Kent England doing the same. I used my rental which before buying the building we use to do a meditation for 3 years, Amma use to come in my meditation........So when we were going to buy the building, having challenges I would ask spirit, " Are you Sure." Then here we are 10 years later with this group in the very room where my prayers started with these awesome women. One woman was with me here ten years ago Betsy, we are once more doing the dance. I am so grateful to my spiritual life, that I have the wiliness to follow the energy no matter what. Another point of gratitude is that my Mom decided to stick around, she was asked when she was hospitalized if she wanted to go home, her answer was, "She would stay if it was right. " She prepared the ceremonial food for the Vision Quest, came and sweat with us, also did the same for these women. She runs the store while I do my spiritual work, so the long and short of it we are not done as a team. My boys are much more appreciative of her being here, they have never really thought of her not being part of their earthly lives, however when the time comes when she leaves, she will still be their guide teacher for these young men. So the weekend exposed many wonderful things. The women stayed at David's www.ShastaMountINN.com which was a very last minute thing, I was on the way of canceling when this all manifested for us. I feel extremely blessed at this very moment. I feel all the hard work has been rewarded in such a beautiful way with these wonderful gals, I am almost in disbelief but definitely thanking them in such a big gratitude way! Beyond my wildest dreams, especially Thank YOU to Anne for her love and encouragement.

Mt Shasta Wilderness Quest 2009

2008-10-09T10:55:00.000-07:00

Hi all.....Daniel finished writing our Wilderness Quest for next year go to his web site http://www.ancestralmedicine.org/ the dates are June 22-28, 2009. It is all very exciting we have people who are definitely up to doing it for the 3rd time. This is a perfect example of Kursatam planning for the coming year, setting those seeds out in the month of October!

2008-10-07T09:26:00.000-07:00

Good Day, we are upon an odd time saying the least, what is going on with this New Age NOW? All the web pages from Patricia Robles, Pepper Lewis, Go Gratitude, and more....keep that light shining, however people are polarized. I am continuing with the Huntress weekend after much contemplation, but like dear sweet Anne said, "It would be easier to cancel." Yes to keep our focus on the light no matter what is definitely a challenge, as we see our bank accounts dwindle food prices go up. However if we didn't have access to the media via Internet would we be in this spin? On today show they talked about women are carrying the brunt of this energy 8-10 stress, I believe it. I feel we internalizing this energy when in our hearts of hearts we know we will rise but it is definitely working through every cell on most of the sensitives, with drastic cases vomiting, diarrhea, fevers, and flu like symptoms. As much of it as a challenge we must clear, so I am happy the Huntress is coming off, my program has changed as to what we will do. I feel it is important to ground this light from Mt Shasta to the universe, plus I emailed Patricia Robles who will be in Kent England doing the same. We will read her affirmations daily to ground that energy with all who are doing it. We will do a Sweat Lodge, it will be small but powerful sweet energy. I feel there are no accidents to those who will be here. I have called a few more to encourage them for the break to raise their energy. It is a time of great change which even with the current elections people are also spun. I remember the last 2 people would say well I will vote for Bush because that is the only choice I feel I have.....wow wee here we are, those especially are crying out for change. It has left people almost fighting realizing the small business's are struggling no matter what their financial back round, putting life long saving to keep them a float. I feel we did this work after opening our store, having 3 flooding, putting in the french drain, waking each time it rained. Then having our wonderful renter http://www.sereni-tea.com/ for 3 years now moving to a more visable spot to insure her business. We feel like we are once more challenged with the current times, needing that rent.....but knowing it will work out. It is the time to keep up with vitamins, excercise, meditation and what ever Artist Date you are able to pull off. I feel very blessed for those people who come in our store, I was just saying to a fellow business guy how great the people have been this summer. I am inspired every day by some kind person thanking us for being here. I also love my groups who are starting their 3 year this month, keeping keeping on, the intimate work they are doing is so amazingly powerful. This still is Kursatam naive times to sow the seeds for the next year, that is why we do the Huntress around the full moon to plant those corn seeds for the new time, new dreams no matter what......I know how hard that can be but we must. I want to work towards more light and stablity for us and the world, it is the time to manifest that NOW>

Coming into the leaves falling

2008-08-18T10:01:00.000-07:00

I have already seen some leaves falling, which brings me to the ultimate letting go. It is that time once again understanding thinking we know, but finding out we are definitely a work in progress. It is our time to dive deep into our own trauma's just understand our own needs to need to be loved. Often in that journey we are willing to ignore those red flags, knowing if we identify them we will not have our family/friends.......being in the human experience is learning to be holy letting go of expectations moving on to the next spiritual adventure. I think sometimes those who have PH.D's in life have learned not to be immobilized by these challenges just to focus on something else. Not to say they don't experience disappointment but they have to be driven in a different sense .........I will think about that later, like these athletes in the Olympic's they just move on to their practise or challenge no matter what. I am happy to see so many women are competing in so many arena's .

I wrote this awhile ago, it is now Sept 23, one day after the start of Fall. We are experiencing so many challenges before the election the real trick is staying positive no matter what. Gathering with like minded people knowing we are letting go of old garbage, which is always a challenge. The change that is upon us can be frightening however learning from the Law of Attraction the real goal here is to focus first on Gratitude, then don't stop dreaming, if it is only to take a walk thinking about the things that give your heart juju, that in itself is raising our vibration. We have to be very diligent now in doing this for we are holding many people in our consciousness, it is not for us and our family only. The world is a different place we need to focus on healing, peace, and love. We have attempted to gather our women for the Huntress weekend to re-assure in them the positive part by being in nature, doing Sweat Lodge, and body work to clear anything that isn't for their highest good. It is difficult with the current energy to even get women to return calls that are now off in their own downward spiral. I called a beautiful gal Bridgett that I did a reading to check on her in Houston, she returned the call immediately but she came back from a huge 20+ day adventure into the highest of energy being here in Mt Shasta & at the Raw Food gathering, but her vibration is way up there. She was with people who were doing that work together. I know we can travel to the highest points if we just have the courage to gather, dance, sing, and be in the natural environment that will help heal those doubts. I feel very blessed to be in such a place. We just need prayers and a renter for our downstairs, it is a beautiful place that the Divine Amma came to me in visions, that is partly how we got this building, she was working her magic. Loving this place we will rise to the new height with ease and grace, it is our time. No matter what the news is telling us we must keep keeping on, knowing with the Grace of God/Goddess it will pass to the life is our destiny. Chant, pray, meditate, dance, being in those Holy spaces, Ashrams, Temples, Nature, Sweat Lodge........gather to the greatest of dreams.

Peace must reign!

After the Vision Quest 2008

2008-08-05T15:15:00.000-07:00

What a great summer, everything is being revealed........wow the group was awesome. Drake made a web site ! Thank YOU!
www.DrakeInnerprizes.com/VisionQuest

Shows the great bunch of support, Questers and fabulous kitchen nurturer. We had Joel who is a master at building sweat lodge a bit of a quirky story teller. The odd thing was the smoke that made it almost impossible to see Mt Shasta, but everything else was as smooth as silk. Daniel and I get on in an interesting way, love doing it with him, he lets me be me and I hope I do the same for him. What I found interesting is some had not been to the Head Waters or at Panther Meadows, which is a wonder in itself.
It is a time where people are showing their true colors, as the eclipse rolls around we are clearing the unnecessary garbage in our lives once again. With this new age we thought it would be different but we are raising our vibration to new heights and those who can't hold the energy are going into a different room, we continue to hold the light for them also. It is an amazing time some things are coming so easily and effortless, help is here. I can remember doing our work in the early 80's there was fewer people who understood what is going on. We are the ones that they were talking about some of us are older then we thought we would be but still some of the younger are there with us holding the energy with enthusiasm that only the young have. It is important for them to be idealistic to maintain the change that is necessary. It is a new day which is very exciting we can't let the dark/negative let us determine our future.

Almost Summer

2008-05-28T13:18:00.000-07:00

Many things are the same however many things are different. We have just seen gas prices soar, mother earth is burping all over the world, with all types of weather.......to remind us we are some what insignificant to her power. I also see the strength in human nature to survive with dignity. I saw The Last Emperor watching that showed how different life can be from moment to the next, as long as we don't take ourselves too seriously. Also the New Earth is the rage, showing the importance of being completely (as we can) present to our life, that is a challenge for silicon valley types, what I find fascinating they really are clueless to the tread mill life they are on. Being in their energy is perplexing while it is like a fire fly to light, on one hand I completely drawn to their energy wanting to rub up, while yet being repelled by their lack of clarity and intensity to such odd things. I have been walking daily to the Sacramento Head Waters, watching the leaves on the tree grow, day by day, it is an amazing feat of nature. One moment they look dead then sprout, then the green starts peaking out till it is almost a full leaf. I doubt if the silicon types being out in nature seeing the magic grow, but usually they are on to the next route, lunch, or some where else to go. It is really saddening when some of those have so much power to make amazing changes to our culture. I know in my heart of hearts that it is those people who have made the difference with Go Green. A friend of mine who is pretty jaded by life thinks Go Green is only a money maker, that nature isn't crying out. Interesting the human elements however I feel that it is those people who are making a difference. If they would go one step further and slow to the rhythms of possibilities, I know it will happened it is truly destiny. There is no stopping this process no matter how secure they feel in their homes or lives. Insurance in not changing ho-hum not the reality of this life and these times. I have been doing my own process here in Mt Shasta, it is exciting times as the flow is happening. We have many wonderful people who are here drawn by the mountain to be part of. The other evening we had a mixer, some of my Artist Way gals birthed Mt Shasta Women in Busniess group, we birthed it for a year. Katrina is our leader she has joined the Chamber and is now in process of being on the City Counsel. We would talk endlessly with great enthusiam as to how exciting our place is, people come from all over world to just be in the energy of our great Mountain. I see people getting the answers from this great force, either while here or when they return to their life, they receive much information of what this life is. It is a vast healer, not to say it is an easy healer, working with our own suffering and karma isn't a walk in the park. Then add to it sweat lodge, walks, Stewart Springs, and many other knock out experiences here changes our lives in such big dramatic ways. We that are fortunate to live here are blessed by immeasurable means. How can we communicate to these beings that are on the tread mill in the maze of what to do next? Just watch the leaves grow is really wonderful, enjoy each moment, expect the miracle, dance, sing, love and you will be living the life that really is the Real Deal!!!

Our Job Raising our Vibration

2008-04-17T16:22:00.000-07:00

We are moving into the attraction of like minded people so as we raise our vibration we can only be with those of like minds. It is really important that we keep keeping on. We now in what the news is saying about the economic or global problems. We are the ones they have talked about. A friend Hiro brought a book by Sachiko Adachi, an artist that left this life very quick. She talks about the importance of raising our vibration keep it up no matter what life hands out. It is a full time job being in the flow of inspiration, listening to that inner voice, that special place of God/Goddess. We are to fully experience this life the good, bad and what ever else we draw to us. We are totally responsible for our life each experience we have drawn for our human experience breathing here in life. We roll around in all systems of the human experience often not really interpreting it for a bit, knowing we have asked for this life. Once we begin to grasp that we can only dive deeper into the depths of understanding our own soul work. It may just need to use our creative juices before we decide to leave that is what this author/artist did Sachiko Adachi she followed her own energy creating art and speaking only truth, people came to listen the more she did it the more information would come through. We know that is this truth once we have connected to source there are people who want to hear, feel and be part of the experience. It is the time to be part of this energy when I write there are no accidents we each need these experiences together. When the New Age was talked about it sounded very ethereal with harps, flowers, dancing, what we didn't realize we had to conquer the emotional soul life sharing the depth of our human experience. It really has be a journey we are here to support the clearing that needs to happen to our human life, healing the earth, doing what needs to happen. There are plenty of high teachers that here to share their energy and life with all of us, the more we can draw on these divine beings the better to mix with like souls or those who much to give.

New Moon in Aries

2008-04-08T11:52:00.000-07:00

It definitely has been a time, coming out of Winter Solstice to Spring, New beginnings, endings, memorial of our past/self and people we need to let go of. It is a new movement often difficult to interpret what it is all about. We have lost a friend Martin, he went home a week ago, we are still recovering from the changes that go along with that. We send Katrina and his family our love and peace. We had a sweat lodge that was very reflective of the varying energy it was a conclusion to many changes that are here. We are moving into new territory really unable to grasp the depth of where we have been, plus seeing or feeling the light that is drawing us into a new time. We are doing our own memorials for that self that no longer serves us, but it is still unclear of our current self. It is as though we have all woke up from a long dream realizing that the old is just that a past life, but we are still here in a physical body. So as we move into a new clarity, some of our old friends are just that, some old friends are re-appearing, it is though we have been thrown into a new energy unable to get our equilibrium but more then understanding our contract that we said we would do this. But do what? What is the dance? What is the music? Where are we going? I get the feeling that we all will be very busy for the next 10 years working more then we could imagine no matter what our age. We have been blessed to have elders who continue to encourage us to continue to move with enthusiasm not matter what. Often not feeling the same enthusiasm only reluctance of what in the world is going on? So if you are one of these souls feeling this push pull you are not alone. More will be revealed!

Spring

2008-03-18T16:14:00.000-07:00

Wow weeee we made it the energy definitely has changed this week.....

New MOON

2008-03-05T12:28:00.000-08:00

Wow we have just come through the eye of the needle, from the Full Moon of Xmas Eve, Eclipses, now almost into spring we can feel the shift coming, we are still some what in the birth channel. So many people have had challenges and are rising from the Phoenix ashes, many changes on the horizon. We have had our second Quest meeting wow, Daniel Foor http://www.ancestralmedicine.org/ rocks , the group is already so connected. I am really excited about the movement of it all. We are going to start our singing before, I feel the songs while in the sweat lodge creates such profound healing from the first Chakra up through each one then out to the ether's of all. The Lodge is such a powerful place to do so much with all the natural elements, understanding the directions, it brings our healing home. I have seen many have flash backs, emotional break throughs, creativity beyond our normal realms, and visions of many things. The group energy is so profound it makes us rise to all of the changes we need to. This all reminds me of a time of the Harmonic Convergence 1987 when so many made their commitment to our spiritual life, I feel we are now in another initiation of the current time. Those who were sitting on the fence of commitment have the opportunity to make the leap of faith into the new time. Some of us have been doing our spiritual work for as long as we can remember, I was told long ago when this time came the new ones would jump on board with ease and vision. I see that happening that does not exclude us from doing our practise of meditation, chanting, walking in nature, creating some type of discipline that works for us. It is absolutely very thrilling to be alive. Things in 2008 are coming together easier, working through our own letting go, surrender, as we raise our vibration we are finding some of our friendships are shifting people we hardly know we feel like we have known for ever, ones that use to be close are just falling into another realm. Reading the New Moon on http://astrowisdom.com/thisnewmoon.htm her astrology information is great and explains much as to where we are in this process. Thanks for being here! We are moving through many changes rising to new heights no matter what the news or media says this being a ground breaking time, don't for one minute let down in raising your vibration, you are here for a purpose that is huge. We have to keep our kindness with all things, keep the JOY Rolling along, no matter what!

Opening our Hearts to the New NOW!!

2008-02-14T15:59:00.000-08:00

We are moving in a Grand Way it is our time, a beautiful movement to the change. We are dancing into the new year finally from the Full Moon in December till the almost Full Moon in February our journey into ourselves was huge. Those who needed to dive deeper seemed to be the ones who got that virus going around to lay and watch our thoughts & mind play tricks. Once up cleaning out our lives, moving in different way. We have the election looming in the fore front with our first woman and black man, one promising changing, another with history also promising solutions for that change. I keep hearing the trick for Democrats,
that would be something first woman and black man with focus, power, and drive. Some say that won't happen but wouldn't that be grand, getting the best of both, which seems like an easy way rather then the competition that is going on state to state. When Obama is in front yipeeeeee, then they trash Hilary, then she is in front they do another thing......why can't we just get the best for our change. It is the time for those wonders to happen. It will be an interesting change of the guards once the time is closer to the real election, by then all sorts of dirt has been thrown. Obama said he and Hilary are friends and will remain so, I wish everyone heard that. We are heading into the Full Moon/Eclipse of major change on the 20th we have had mercury playing havoc. Myself it really has been in my check book since 1/31 I have lost $800 from my checking account I have talked to everyone in card services, supervisors, a manager, finally a gal at the bank on 2-11 worked it took 4 people from card services finally one said she would take care of it. However it hasn't happened yet, I have easily spend 8 hrs on it but still no $800, it is really incredible when things like this happen, the bank can't do anything till card service. So I reported the challenge to the main person in SF, I did a survey today for our business account, I explained when handling my personal it is taking away time from my business, she put me in recording while still answering my business rating from 1-10, wild mercury. I am hoping it stops soon, plus I need that money. Do you know many people that at this time doesn't need that $800, which I have explained to at least 10 people on the phone, wheewwww mercury UNCLE! And yet other things are going great, I got my taxes done, did my re-fi, got my shopping carts started all by Valentine's I feel very positive about that with our hearts opening to a new reality, a new venerability, a new commitment to living life with joy and fun. In my groups I am so proud to be part of them so many are diving deep realizing the choices or the trauma's that have made them who they are . Healing themselves ready to move to a more dynamic time. It doesn't even matter what the new is, we know the year of the rat brings promise. We just need to keep keeping on stay out of those mind fields of fear and negative thoughts, keep our focus so we can create that special time NOW. Today Buddhist monks friends of the Dali Lama from Tibet are here in town making a Sand Mandala for the Medicine Buddha it is so beautiful of a process, started on Valentine's opening of our hearts for healing from Mt Shasta. It is healing all those aspects of ourselves that are in need of clearing, moving to our time our life no matter what our age it is time for the tides to turn, being we are the ones that they spoke about. We are here together ready to pray, chant, dance, sing, sweat, and do whatever our role is to bring change here on our planet Earth. We are here to take up our commission our contract to do our part. AHO!

February Wow.......Dive Deep

2008-02-02T11:11:00.000-08:00

So we made it through the beginning of the year where are we NOW? Gosh I keep hearing the clearing our clutter, from our space, mind and relationship's, we are moving very deep. I think it is important to reward those changes, we have waited many life times to address many of these issues. We finally feel awake, being much more present to our destiny. We are modivated to be the best driving the boat to new awareness. No longer having those deep seeded core issues running our lives, and not knowing it. We have begun a huge process of this life, we cannot hide we are completely present. No matter how uncomfortable it may feel raising the vibratory rate which is uncomfortable to say the least. We are in uncharted areas of new awakening, it is our time. Meaning if you are reading this you are one of those souls that said you would do this. There are plenty of people that are not in this energy, it is us that are holding that high vibratory rate for the planet. In this life there are no accidents we are here for a divine purpose, we have contracted to do this which is our responsiblity to humanity. It is a great time to be here, an awakening never felt before. I read astrology to see or feel the next steps for each of us, it is the mystery of life unfolding in ways that blows our minds. We have an election, we have awareness around global warming, we have the world economic developements, with the spiritual all this can be handled in a powerful way in a divine way, it is only a thought away. We must focus on peace, light, beauty, knowing the ancestors/guides/angels are moving in dramatic ways in our lives. WE know we are doing what we need to do. We know the emotional challenges are clearing the way for the Great Awakening that we are NOW part of the great puzzle called LIFE. Once again if we are in eachothers lives there are no mistakes to the dance we are doing, lets keep it going with Great expectation it is all good. Thanks for being here!

January 2008

2008-01-15T10:23:00.000-08:00

Wow weee we are definitely into this year with only 15 days it is a new time, meeting those challenges with great expectation, not holding back. Things have been definitely moving in a powerful way, using our voice being clear on our intention as to what it is we want. We can no longer hide our empowerment, we have to stand up to be totally authentic with who we are. It is our time. The financial is really on the paramount time we have in this election. Watching the news with all the dooms day news isn't helping our general economy, rather like the Secret speaking what on terror creates the whole thing putting the energy in what we don't want rather then what we want to achieve. It is time to focus on the Grand new NOW speaking our truth, not hiding in anyway. However sometimes listening is the most powerful thing we can do, the dance is to know the difference, when to speak when to listen. With trauma sometimes we feel we must suffer in ourselves keeping it our secret, only to find it follows us around in a base way. So those times are over, we don't want to stay in the past but until we identify the trauma we don't have access to the healing. We must stop saying it doesn't matter, experience it then we can let it go. Our society says don't do that it is your suffering you become more spiritual more evolved if you have bunches of that.......NOT it is our time to jump over say it happened I choose different in the new NOW! Having a great sense of humor helps laugh the nonsense away. Understanding what strange people we are. We have been told life is hard, we have believed that so we keep recreating those challenging positions to make is so. So with the information that is available, from Wayne Dyer, Deepak, Ester Hicks, The Secret, we have new to most of us info. It is so simple to keep moving in a positive way, using our own practises what ever that is. Conquering the mind is a challenge at first but once you get the hang of it it gets easier and easier. When I went to see Amma a few years ago she said, "Don't Worry, don't worry, " I am only now understanding that. I was so programmed to worry, first being a single parent, a built in line of worry, then opening a business, which wasn't a problem before, but having confirmation from unexpected source saying I would fail, played into my worry.........always thinking they knew something I didn't. I now realize that isn't true at all, we are where we are suppose to be with much guidance and support. Being part of the Mt Shasta spiritual community is where we belong. Starting in 1978 putting prayers down each time coming up to my final move 1998, once my boys were raised. Already being part of the greater community, then having Mt Shasta Herb & Health, a great gratitude for the power greater then us. The beginning of our ownership we were both in awe as to how this all happened. We use to meditate downstairs for 3 yrs. a Buddhist meditation, I would have visions of Amma coming in blessing the group. I didn't give it much thought till after we owned the store, she hugging us, knowing there is a great force at action. It is still really amazing to me, starting our 5 yr. with good intentions for our beautiful Gratitude towards the divine that is part of our every breathe. Many changes have occurred forcing us to do what we need to do, no laying down, how can we teach if we are not willing to do our own work? It is time for all of us, to create that NOW!

New Moon for the New Year

2008-01-09T12:18:00.000-08:00

Hey have we been having fun? I think this time from the Full Moon till Now has definitely had its challenges. We are faced with making choices, not to accept anything that is based in the negative or dark energy. We are making grand decisions to live a more productive, powerful, and dynamic life. It is the time to move forward with great determination to create that life we want. It is also the time of unraveling some of our previous choices, to really look at that with a depth that we didn't have available till now. It is a time of moving forward to it is our time, we finally after many life times are a the place we have contracted to be here. We are the movers and shakers that are talked about in the predictions of the New Age. However we really didn't think it would be quite like this. We some how thought we would be sitting about meditating, wearing great clothes, dancing with flowers in our hair. It is NOW a time of rolling up our pant legs, getting in the trenches, much like Amma did during the Tsunami, you would see her in water helping, carrying wood what ever it took to get to the next place. We are now in that also, here in Mt Shasta we have had storms that kept us inward whether we wanted to be or not. I canceled my trip to the bay area, the first time since owning my house. It was such a huge decision, knowing that mother earth was nagging me with my own journey. Going with the flow is such a huge challenge, knowing it is the only way. I learned many things by sitting, some rather difficult, not the warm and fuzzy's one would think. It is a time to state a clearer ground more earth bound financial security. It hit me between the eyes the necessity of cleaning up anything that isn't as clear as our intentions. Clarity is the time we are living in, with clear intentions, anything is possible. It has been an intense beginning of the year, lightening up as we go. We definitely have the support of the universe, and light. We just focus on the flow and keeping it easy while remaining awake to our intentions. It is going to be a great year accomplishing much!
I just read Jonathan Cainer horoscope for the beginning of this year he says it is a roller coaster, do what is most obvious. Ok will do.....we are on the ride!

Shaman

2008-01-02T14:46:00.000-08:00

Oh my Goddess.........here we are in the new NOW with all the goodness and challenges that are upon us. We have risen to new heights however out of the birth channel it feels really odd. It doesn't feel like things have changed, but in our heart of hearts we know it will never be the same. And what in the hell does that mean, it is up for grabs? The clarity of this year is we have to move on, keep keeping on......with more determination more grounded earth energy more clarity, basically showing up. Once the spring starts sprouting we will have a better idea of our role in 2008. It is all very exciting but we have to keep our health and energy up. We once again are in a the deep process of the Winter Solstice, still inside not ready to venture out. When people move to Mt Shasta there is always this excitement, but going through the first winter, diving deeper then expected. It is always a process that involves not only ourselves but the great world energy. I remember with the Tsunami the range of grief that was available after so many souls had Exodus. Now we have had this beautiful woman assassinated, we as women on diving deep in our souls understanding her death is not in vain but understand the dark force corrupt are at work. Understanding we must be counted. It is such an important to time to be Visible in all ways we no longer have the luxury of hiding out. It is our time to stand up and say I am here in the Now! Yes in this process some relationships will change, be completed so the New now can create those alliance that perpetuates our great growth and spirituality. We are upon Holy ground, we are the Holy ones that was spoken of long ago. There are no accidents and to our tribe our group, we said we would do this. The other relationships are just falling away the way they are suppose to letting go in such big ways.Then there are other relationships that are coming in once again to continue the depth that they are longing for. For me personally these last few years have been a challenge like no other. I have been effected in such grand ways. It started in 1992 or so, faced with all sorts of lessons. It was during this Full Moon in December, when I took a fall outside the store. I flew up bouncing on the ground on my butt not seeing it coming. I went to the chiro but continued to have head aches, so then I was able to have a viewing of this time. I realized I needed a clarity on my passage into the new NOW. In the time of 1992 I had been studying with Native American philosophy's, with several different teachers. I entered into a relationship that started as a fling but then he moved to California. As I look back it was an oddity from the very beginning, but also a great blessing for many reasons. One being a greater understanding of addictions, my boys worked with him in our business which help the boys be men working in construction. There so many difficult times, being in the center of a cyclone much of the time, only now understanding some of the past life trauma's which only since having store has given me the clarity. When this started my mom and I had a beautiful beauty salon in Burlingame, looking back at such a different life. I really appreciate the beauty of the surrounding that we created then when that came to a close we went to Findhorn in 1996. It was a great completion, I also bought my house in Mt Shasta. We spent Xmas in Mt Shasta, after starting this romance with the mountain in 1978. It wasn't till 1998 that I moved permanently to my mountain, after my boys were raised. I had done a Vision Quest on my 50 moving into a more spiritual life, not really understanding what that really meant. My mom was my supporter, she had brought me into this planet called Earth and now into my later years. Well the journey has been a wild ride. So we are part of this great collective new NOW. With my fall I have given much thought to the time line that some of us made unconscious choices which only now we are understanding, now making new contracts to make the necessary changes being awake. Wow weee!

New Years 2008

2007-12-28T11:46:00.000-08:00

Well Well...........so how is it hanging? What are your completions for the end of 2007? What is your focus for the coming year? The completion of great things. Last night is our Artist Way group it is evident that we are now being more Visible no more hiding playing it safe, being perfect, of course that is unachievable.....plus pretty boring, we want to dance, sing, play, have great sex, and of course be more spiritual than in the past. We are definitely phoenix rising from our ashes of our pasts, being past lives, or just our past in this life, sometimes feeling who was that masked person. We are NOW being authentic sometimes not even knowing what that is or what it will be in the future. The real trick is being present with all this changes but still doing our intimate work together. Did I say together? Yes it is absolutely necessary for our group consciousness to work in groups so we get the support plus test the waters of our true self .......Rising as the vibration rises on this planet we can do it together it is getting so much easier. We have also been understanding our addictions to suffering, doing it right, drama a range of things that don't involve substances just our own mind that tends to drive us into unhealthy criticism and compulsions that don't serve us or the greater spiritual good. Our time is to move beyond our addictions to understand freedom is a thought away. We have been hexed with all sorts of trauma drama's not understanding we are the warriors to make changes realizing first in our mind, not allowing the negative thought process that has become such a pattern for humanity. It is our greatest challenge plus reaps the greatest rewards.

Full Moon for Xmas/ Winter Solstice

2007-12-22T14:53:00.000-08:00

Here I am after not being able to access my blog so I started a new account it has been wild. I enjoy writing so the time I have spent trying to figure out how to correct this I could have written a small novel. The computer is amazing but if we end up having problems geese louise days later. So what is up with the Universe? Well the story seems to be the last year wasn't as challenging as the year before, but that is not to say there wasn't stuff with the energy as we rise those things change some of what we don't expect and challeneges beyond our understanding. I ended up taking a fall on the ice, went home did the stuff that we carry from the store, so the butt wasn't as bad it would have been but then I realized my neck was out, no meds would even touch it. I had to lay down every time it really took hold, viewing my life once again, ugh! Now I have gone to the Chiro it is Xmas Eve and I have come full circle knowing some of the pit falls of being a single woman. I viewed the last 10 years from my viewing picture, I know this Winter Solstice has been about that where we have been with a clarity that hasn't happened before, not a walk in the park. I feel more confident there are no accidents with all of us circling in each others lives, it is really awesome. I do feel as we view those past trauma's we have a clarity that hasn't been available in this life time. We no longer have to be with our head in the clouds or blindly doing life, we have choices available that is part of the new NOW! We have a clarity to make monumental changes in our letting go of suffering, making choices towards our JOY, Health, and Prosperity. Having my blog down wanting to share the process I couldn't have done it any sooner, again there are no accidents. We each have the availability to make new different choices, I feel we will do so in a collective group energy. It is absolutely necessary to have those to share our patterns, past trauma's and to create a closer unity of intimacy sharing our successes! We no longer have to go down that dark lonely road hiding our pain, we can tell our story and move on with love and support. I am thrilled to be part of the journey, and you are! Thanks for your greatness, let it shine, Shine, Shine.....Blessing for Xmas and 2008 NOW!!!!
I just found Sierra Bender's comment from 2007, like I said I was unable to get into my old blog no matter what I did.....I am not using your matieral at all and wouldn't it is your trade mark, I apologize for the inconvenience. I would fix it but I don't know how no matter what I do......I know you and would not infringe your trade mark. Linda Held
