This Summer Plans and Energy with New Beginnings!

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!

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

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!

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

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!

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!
