January 2008

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

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

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

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

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!!!!
