Stillness Balancing Action - the Energy for this Solstice ~ Divine Feminine Power Regains it’s Place in Balance with the Divine Masculine

by Marilyn Edwards

We are entering into a time of renewal coupled with some major energetic influences. These energies can help bring about big change if we harness them and work with them wisely.

At Winter’s Solstice we will begin our journey out of the ever increasing darkness back into the light. We will be preparing ourselves in this winter time to bring forth what we want to manifest in the Spring. This year the solstice seems like a time of stillness in action……if that is possible! Planetary aspects are calling for action and grounding ideas into the physical but in a new way. The old is to be discarded and new ideas and ways of being in relationship with each other and the Earth are being called forth. The old ways of doing, doing, doing, going, going, going without respecting the bowl of energy (so to speak) from which we are nourished are over. A new magical energy is forming, one of Grace, of intuition, of deep nurturing for our New Reality. In the midst of all this craziness we are being called to remember this and create action from it.

My way of interpreting these many aspects, too numerous to mention here today, is to discover a new place to take action from. Actually, an ancient place, but one long forgotten by many…. and now making an ever stronger debut on the planet. Like the picture above, retreating to the deep womb-space within ourselves where we are in touch with the energy of the Divine Feminine nurturing energy. With this retreat comes the recognition of the powerful gifts and blessings of life bestowed upon us daily.

No more taking this for granted! Take responsibility for your life and live it in a new and more profound way. Have the courage to break free of these old habits and you will see magnificent change. The mind wants to expand into something deeper and infinitely more gratifying than it has experienced in the past. A deep transformation is taking place……you will never be the same if you embrace it.

When we go within to this space, before taking action, we fill ourselves with what we need in order to proceed. We have long put the cart before the horse, resting after we take action. If we take the time to go within, allowing ourselves to rest in the knowledge that all Life everywhere is being constantly maintained and supported, we will then take action with our gas tanks full and our maps will be in place. We will not get lost or run out of gas.

This can be a scary approach as many of us have been facing our biggest wounds and fears once again!

We have a full moon lunar eclipse this Solstice about 16 hours before the actual Solstice. This is the first time this has happened in over 300 years. This is a time to cast off ancient hurts, prejudices and shackles……don’t get caught up in the old stories. Many have been facing extreme challenges this month leading up to these last few weeks of the year. You are facing them to let go and recreate yourself from a new (to you now, but not really! ) incredibly inspiring place.

Kidney/Bladder Energy

This is the time of year to balance our kidney/bladder chi. Kidney/bladder fires and holds our Spirit Essence, our Life Force, which provides will power, creativity, sexual energy and fuels ambition. The Kidney Meridian is considered the “Root of Life” because it houses the essence we receive conception. This meridian also includes the adrenals (which are physically on top of the kidneys.) The adrenal glands secrete a wide array of essential hormones that regulate metabolism, support immunity, and control sexual potency and fertility. The Chinese also considered Kidney energy  to control the health of bone and marrow, which also included the brain and the spinal cord in their interpretation.

The Bladder excretes the waste……..time to let go!

This is the time of year we can draw in this Life Force energy to fuel us for the coming year. If we do not take time to do this during the Winter months we may feel out of sorts and tired for our entire coming year. Take time to relax, spend time joyfully with good friends, the earth, and yourself. Renew, renew, renew so that your life force will be ready for a very brilliant expression that is coming in this New Year of 2011.

Signs of imbalance in this energy can be swelling, bloating,  difficulty urinating, great anxiety, and inability to digest food. High blood pressure can show up if the blood flow through your kidneys is inadequate. Inability to cope, fear of change, craving salt, loss of balance can also indicate lack of harmony in the Kidney/Bladder meridians.

Fear of letting go can bring on phobias. Believe me this year you Have To Let Go! If I can say one thing to you, Let Go, Let Go, Let Go…….each time go deeper into your Being. Let go of everything you thought was “the way it was”. Let your divine creativity bring you a new paradigm and embrace it with positive right action.

Spend the last few weeks of this year positively focusing on the magic you want to create, renewing yourself and taking solid steps towards a new reality. Rest when you need to, that is a step towards creating!  Spend time out in Nature. Nature will give you the message…..She is not busy now! She is still, preparing for the new in the Spring.

May your coming year be blessed with an all encompassing knowing of the Beauty of Your Spirit and the most incredible Divine Love that supports it.

Blessings, Marilyn

This year’s Equinox is full of change.

Astrologically the elements are asking us to find out where we need to take a stand and where we need to create more harmony …a full moon and harvest moon will be occurring just 6 hours after the Equinox. The sun will be in Libra asking for more harmony and to take a look at relationships while the full moon will be in Aries asking what we need to let go of and where we need to take a stand.

Many of us are finding ourselves feeling like we have lost our rudder as this whole year has been about letting go of old ways of doing things and birthing in new ways. Some of us feel worn out by all of this.

This Fall Equinox has arrived just in time for those of us whose nerves are shot by all the activity this year. As we move into the energy of fall we are shifting gears toward more inner reflection. But, we may find we have to find new ways to do this, sometimes even in the midst of extreme turmoil!

The daylight is slowly starting to decrease and our energy is getting quieter…or wanting to! For those of you in more northern areas it is probably already turning cool. We are just getting a hint of that now here in Florida. It is coming and going.

In Chinese medicine the Metal element is associated with Autumn. The organs of Metal are Lungs and Large Intestine.

The lungs are our receiver of energy and chi from the Heavens (air) that helps sustain our life force through-out our lives. The Large Intestines help us to eliminate waste. Through our Lung channels we take in inspiration and through the Large Intestines we let go of negativity.

This is a time of reflection where we look back on what we have done this year and decide what worked and what didn’t. It is a time for forgiving ourselves and others. We have received the harvest of late summer and now we accept where we are and let go, releasing all negativity in preparation for the stillness and recuperating time of winter. If we don’t let go and allow ourselves to cleanse out any unwanted thoughts, deeds or feelings we will not rest easily in the quiet of Winter and will not be able renew ourselves for Spring.

Some imbalances during this time could show up as sinus infections and sore throats. I have seen a rash of these in the last week! Also lung problems and colds can show an imbalance. This is a good time of year to do deep breathing exercises, especially during the Lung time of 3-5 am. Deep breathing will also stimulate your Large Intestines to eliminate and the peak hours for that is 5-7 am.

One of the gifts of the Metal element is the ability to inspire. So, look deeply inside and see what inspires you. Spend some time in Nature and be inspired by her never ending beauty and mystery.

This may be a time when deep grief surfaces to be healed. Allow it to flow out of you and empty yourself for the time of winter. As is true in nature, Autumn is a time when we consolidate our energies and prepare for the austerity of Winter.  When our ability to do that breaks down, so too, does our ability to preserve what is nourishing to the body, mind and spirit.

This is a time to search for spiritual food. Try not to live in the past and in a sense of what could have been. Let go and breathe.

This is an alchemical time of year in a year that is alchemical. Nothing can stay the same, we must find new ways and now is a time to find new ways to inspire yourself, let go on ever deeper and deeper levels. Find forgiveness on levels you never thought possible and Let Go of the Past. Go Within. Find your True Self.

Please take a moment to sign up for the free session above if you feel you could use some support at this time.

Much love, Marilyn

The Centering Point

We are now entering a time that is a point of centering between the yang energies of Spring/Summer and the Yin energies of Fall/Winter. This is the time of receiving the Nurturing energy of  The Mother; Mother Earth, Divine Mother, and Mothering in general.

Earth Element - Late Summer - Centering Point

The time of late summer is the balancing point in our year. The yang energy of spring and summer are slowing down and we are getting ready to
switch into the yin energy of fall and winter.

This is the time of the Earth element. The “mother” energy that is stabilizing and caring and a center point for the family. So, this is a time of balancing the appropriateness of caring for others and caring for the self.

The Earth element commands our sense of taste, controls fat and flesh, and it’s direction is Center. It’s color is yellow and it controls damp and mucous in the body.

If this energy  is out of balance  you could find yourself eating too much in an attempt to give yourself some attention and nurturing. In addition, you might have the added discomfort of not digesting things well or having excess mucous in your body.  If this is so, take some time to do other things that nourish you. Work on allowing yourself to receive compliments, touch, nurturing, support and ease. Accept offers for help.

An imbalance here can also manifest as a lack of focus and see-sawing back and forth between extremes. Decision making can be difficult. Other elements in astrology at this time (too numerous to mention in this article!) are also lending themselves to this see-sawing effect. Many people are feeling confused and not knowing what to do. This makes grounding and nurturing yourself doubly important at this time. Spend time outside with your bare feet on the ground!

The organs affected by this season are the Stomach and the Spleen. When the energy of these organs is out of balance it can affect the mind as well as the body.

A person with a Stomach  imbalance may look like “no one is home”. They might feel overwhelmed by too much information or unable to understand what is being said. Too much information can cause confusion and anxiety. If this is happening to you, SLOW DOWN and SIMPLIFY. Take as much off your plate as possible and TRUST that you will be embraced by the arms of the Nurturing Mother and cared for. It is a sign that you need to receive!

Distress can also manifest itself when the energy of the Spleen channel is imbalanced. The Spleen is considered the transporter of energy and if this function is not working smoothly, then worry and stress can set in which can cause as many problems as a physical blockage in the body. You won’t have the energy you need to get things done or you may feel “fried”.

The Earth element and its officials, the Stomach and the Spleen, are integral to the efficient running and maintenance of our mind, body and spirit. They are the furnace that keeps our engines well stoked and full of power and energy -  for our physical well being and  our mind and spirit. They are also the means by which we transport energy around our system to all the areas that require stimulation and energy.

For a healthy and rewarding existence it is very important to have balance in these channels of energy before we can even look into other areas that might require assistance for our well being.

Herbs and foods for digestion and correcting mucous can be of great assistance during this season. Some of these are Ginger, a great digestive aid and stimulant, and Nettle which is wonderful to help thin and eliminate excess mucous.

Communicating with the Invisible World of Nature

David Spangler is famous worldwide for his work with The Findhorn Garden in Scotland, and with his ability to contact the nature spirits and devas of the environment. He is also one of the most caring and accurate “witnesses” to the invisible worlds.

For this reason, I find it important and necessary that we consider his words about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Should you wish to pass his words on, please know that he has given all of us permission to do so. I pray that as many of us as possible respond to the spiritual reality behind what he shares. ~PMH  (PMH Atwater is a well-known researcher and writer of the Near-Death Experience as well as herself having three NDEs)

David’s Desk: The Gulf

There are times when events overtake intentions. There was another topic that I had planned to write about for this month’s letter, but events in the Gulf of Mexico loom so large with the spreading oil spill and the consequent devastation to animal, plant and human lives that no other topics seem fitting this month. The amount of email I’ve had asking for insights into what is happening, for perspectives from the subtle worlds, or for suggestions for subtle activism in response to this tragedy affirms for me that this is the subject close to people’s hearts and minds right now.

I was in my twenties during the height of the Vietnam War, and I remember well the vivid scenes that appeared night after night on the television news. Certain images stand out: the Buddhist monk who set himself ablaze in protest, the execution of a Viet Cong sympathizer, a naked girl running down the street, her body burned from napalm, and the endless rows of body bags and coffins of dead soldiers waiting on the tarmacs of foreign airports to be shipped home to America. These images brought home the horror of the war. The oil spill is generating images, too. The underwater camera shows endless gallons of brown oil spilling out around the edges of the containment cap into the water. There are close-up shots of pelicans covered with oil, their black eyes almost invisible in the midst of the black goo that drips from their feathers. Fishermen lounge idle on the dock, watching their livelihoods vanish. Black tar balls on pristine white sandy beaches. Perhaps most powerfully and poignantly for me was an interview I saw.

A Louisiana coastal resident was driving down a road alongside the beach that is being hardest hit by oil at the moment. He was complaining about the lack of any clean-up crews on the beach and was venting his anger at BP. He had a large mustache that quivered with his indignation as he spoke, and his voice was rough and strained with his fury. Suddenly he stopped and jumped out of his truck. Running down along the beach with the news cameraman right behind him, he suddenly stopped and plunged his hands into the oily sand. He then pulled up a bird small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. It was covered in oil, but it was still alive. “Oh, this poor bird,” he said, cradling it, his voice softening to one of caring and compassion. “This poor, poor creature.” The news report ended at that point, so I don’t know what happened next, whether he was able to get the bird to one of the shelters where animals are being cleaned from the oil. And I have no idea how he had spotted this tiny bird from the road when a moment before he had been so focused on his rage. But in the twinkling of an eye, he went from shouting at the cameraman, his attention focused on BP and his anger at them, to someone perceiving the plight of another living creature and shifting his attention to doing what he could, revealing the depth of his caring. I found this very moving.

Over the next few months, I have no doubt there will be thousands of words written analyzing this event, assigning blame and expressing anger. This may well become the equivalent of an environmental 9/11 in terms of its impact on our society except that where the terrorist attack and the collapse of the World Trade Towers occurred in a two- hour span of time, the Gulf oil spill is a catastrophe unfolding over weeks and months, leaving us twisting in the wind with the uncertainty of how it will end. If as many fear, the storm surges and winds of the hurricanes expected this season carry the contamination of oil much further inland, including to populated areas and farming country, or if the oil enters the Gulf Stream and heads around to the beaches of

Yes, greed is involved, but it’s not just corporate greed. It’s our collective greed for a certain kind of lifestyle, a certain kind of dominance upon the earth, a certain kind of anthropocentric power to do with the world and its web of interconnected life what we wish, as we wish, when we wish. But if we are going to work effectively at a spiritual level through subtle activism with this event and its unfolding consequences, anger and sorrow must be set aside.  Like the man in the news story who suddenly switched from expressing anger to taking action to help another living creature, we need to go beyond our anger and find our compassion and the presence of a healing light within us.

When I am asked what the perspective of the non-physical worlds is to this event, I feel stymied by the fact that there is no single reaction. People expect that the inner worlds must feel outrage and pain, just as we do, especially at the thought of so much ecological destruction and loss of life. There is that reaction, for sure, but it is not the only one or even the main one. It depends entirely on the kind of subtle beings that I attune to.

For some of the vast forces and intelligences that overlight the Gulf region and have done so for thousands and thousands of years, this is a relatively minor event creating a temporary imbalance that will be restored in time; when your perspective covers millennia, what are a few decades more or less? Physical existence does not have the same meaning to them that it does to us. Likewise, I have observed certain chthonic beings associated with the oil itself that are experiencing delight and pleasure at being liberated from the depths of the earth; they are not evil by any means, but they do not have any sense of the destruction or loss of life that the oil is causing.

On the other hand, there are subtle beings who work directly with the environment and the life-forms of the sea and the coastal wetlands and marshes, and they are being directly impacted.  The patterns of connection and energy with which they work and in which, to some extent, they dwell, are being disrupted and broken with an effect not unlike that which happens to a human when he or she has a stroke due to the death or damage of brain cells. Some of these beings are indeed outraged at what is happening and at humanity in particular for causing this. But others are not, understanding that anger itself can roil the subtle environment and further disrupt and break the subtle connections on which integration and wholeness depend.

So, from my perspective at least, there is no single unified response of the inner worlds to this event. What this means to me is that I need to look to my own response. What do I feel? What do I think? And likewise, dear reader, what do you feel and think? For it’s out of our hearts and minds that we fashion our imaginative, mental, emotional, and spiritual responses, and our physical ones as well if we are in a position to take physical action. I don’t need a nature spirit to tell me it’s angry for me to feel anger myself or for me to feel compassion and sorrow and a need to do something to help.

Subtle activism is a way of offering help through the use of subtle energies of consciousness and life when we’re unable to help in more physical ways. It’s never a substitute for meaningful and appropriate physical action, but it can be an important complement. This is not the place to go into the whys and wherefores of subtle activism, its principles of operation and the theory of how it works; I have classes that do that if you are interested. What I would like to do here is just offer some specific inner responses you can make if you are inclined.

However, there are two key ideas to keep in mind. The first is that all subtle activism is ultimately intended to create and foster wholeness. The subtle environment of the world is a place of important connections along which life energies flow, and when events like this occur, it’s these connections that get broken. The second is that inner work is done in a spirit of compassion, love and service. Wholeness is repaired or re-created through life-affirming energies, not through anger or blame, judgment or revenge. We must be like the man in the news interview, switching from our outrage to our compassion and reaching out to hold in our inner hands of love the life that has been impacted and that is threatened.

Here are some possibilities for subtle activism and prayer:

1: Attune in contemplation and imagination to the “genius loci,” the spirit of the place, of the affected regions to offer the gift of your loving energy for it to use in service to its environment. Imagine, for instance, an angel of the marshes or of the wetlands, or even an angel overlighting the Gulf itself. Draw on your own love and compassion and offer these to this being to use as its knowledge and wisdom sees as appropriate. Most importantly, draw on your sense of your own sacredness and of the Sacred that embraces and lives within all things. As your felt sense of this sacredness wells up in you, offer this presence to the spirits involved with healing and care for the affected regions.

2: One thing I learned while part of the Findhorn community in northern Scotland many years ago is that nature spirits, the spiritual beings directly involved with the wellbeing of specific plants and ecosystems, cannot always anticipate human actions. They can be caught by surprise by the effects of some of our actions, particularly when the effects of those actions are disruptive. In such a situation, the spiritual beings may not implement suitable preparations and connections to avoid or minimize such disruptions. I imagine by now the word has gone out along the inner circuits that danger is on the way, but it may still be helpful to communicate what is happening to the spiritual beings overlighting those parts of the land where the oil hasn’t reached yet but which are in danger. As in 1 above, commune with the overlighting nature beings of those regions and inform them of what is happening. Basically, warn them so they can take steps. Do so as lovingly and compassionately as you can.

3: Subtle activism is about using subtle energies for promoting, restoring, fostering, and co-creating wholeness. Every being is woven into a fabric of life through a variety of subtle energy connections. When a being dies, these connections are broken as it withdraws into the spiritual realms of Light. In a way, there’s a “hole” in the fabric where that being was. In the natural course of things, the edges of this hole—the disconnected strands and streams of subtle energy—are re-knitted back into the local fabric of life. However, when many beings die all at once—as is happening in the Gulf now—the breakage can be severe, and the “hole” very disruptive for a time; the effort of spiritual beings goes to repairing this. You can help in this process by making available your own energies of compassion and wholeness to the situation through your loving attunement. You cannot do this in a state of anger or agitation, so don’t attempt this if your emotions about what is happening in the Gulf overwhelm you with sadness, anger, and so forth. Wait until you can find calm and peace within yourself. But when you do, then here is one way you can offer your help. Attune to a spiritual source of wholeness that is meaningful to you, that is, a source from which you would draw inspiration and presence to find wholeness in yourself. Draw that wholeness into you and merge it with your own calm presence, your own integration and sense of wholeness. In imagination and contemplation, project your presence into the affected areas of the Gulf where death and disruption are occurring to the life of the sea and the coastlines. Be a presence of wholeness and connection, as if you were a nerve cell connecting the spiritual worlds with the earth and water itself. In effect, you are offering your assistance and the energy of your presence to those beings who are seeking to “re-knit” the subtle environment. Note that there are angelic beings and others seeking to provide the same loving help to the humans who are being affected by this oil spill and who are experiencing anger and fear as they witness the destruction of their environment and the loss of their livelihoods. You can offer this same loving spirit of wholeness to them as well for the benefit and blessing of the human community.

4: Be open to grief. Grief is part of the healing process of binding up broken subtle ties and connections. I’m not talking about wailing and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments. Grief can become mixed up with dramas of self-concern and victimization (the “poor me” syndrome), and you want to be clear of such dramas. You want to feel honestly the pain and sorrow involved with what is happening to the nature and the people of the Gulf. Grieving is part of the process of acknowledging the broken connections I spoke about earlier and thus of beginning a process of healing. Don’t be hesitant or resistant to grieving with the nature spirits and with the life of the Gulf that is being affected. You can share your own emotions of pain with them. At the same time, however, don’t assume or project that nature spirits feel that grief or pain in the same way; don’t anthropomorphize, in other words.

5: Eventually the Gulf will heal. Depending on the amount of damage that is done by the time this spill is cleaned up, that healing could take a long time, but it will happen. Harmony and balance will be restored, though it might look different than what is there now. Just as a person may heal better and faster when inspired by images of health and what his or her life will be like when wholeness is restored, so the nature spirits can be aided by the visions of health, harmony and wholeness that come from vaster planetary beings such as devas and angels. While they certainly have their own channels of communication that don’t depend on any human, it is still helpful when a human being can align with that greater vision and embody its presence on behalf of the nature forces. With this in mind, attune through contemplation and imagination to an angel or deva overlighting the Gulf, one who holds the image and vision of the potential and beauty of all the life that’s there and the vision of what this ecosystem can be in its sacredness and wholeness. Here you want to gain the long view, the perspective of centuries and millennia. In attuning to the Gulf and the coastlines where death and damage are occurring, hold an image of these areas in their perfection when healing has taken place. See the area connected and whole. In other words, tune into the template of wholeness held by the vaster consciousnesses and hold the joy and beauty of that template; it forms a matrix around which healing can take place.

These are just some suggestions of things you can do, and they focus on the natural world. But the same suggestions, slightly modified, can be used to hold and bless the humans who are involved and who are being impacted. This goes for the engineers and others trying to repair this situation as much as for those whose livelihoods are being lost or whose health is being affected. One important thing we can do is to hold the sorrow and grief of this event in our hearts without flinching. This takes courage because it’s a painful thing to do. And it takes wisdom and strength to hold that pain without being overwhelmed or constricted by it. Becoming despondent or despairing doesn’t help, but standing in solidarity with the people and creatures that are being affected and not turning away in denial can be very helpful.

As the days go by and we see the situation in the Gulf continue to worsen, I think we can understand that this situation could use love and attention on an ongoing basis. Do not think that this situation is not affecting you just because you do not live on a state that borders the Gulf of Mexico.

This  event has the potential to harm all of earth’s ocean if the spill is not contained. The information given to the press by BP has not reflected the seriousness of the situation but new information from the scientific community is showing us daily that this is an event that needs our love and attention.

Some of the information below was in last weeks post but I am restating it here for those who are new. Please check out the link below. This page shows you the currents of the ocean and how they flow and you will understand the magnitude of what could happen if the oil gets into the Loop Current in the Gulf and from there, into the Gulf Stream.

Currents of the Earths Oceans

I worked on the ocean and around oil rigs for 12 years as a boat captain….I have seen the damage that happens just from normal drilling operations. I have also seen first hand the negligence of the oil companies in maintaining offshore wells after they have been capped and are no longer useful. I think these issues are important to address. All the money in the world will not keep life on this planet if our oceans are devastated.

There is evidence that we really can heal our Mother Earth through intent, love, and the action of scientific prayer. Check out The Global Coherance Initiative.

Princeton University’s PEAR research has also revealed how our consciousness can affect our reality. But there is one ingredient that is crucially important in changing our current reality. That ingredient is belief. Our belief systems can stop us. If you can’t believe in it and hold the vision it won’t work. Many of the beliefs that stop us are subconscious or so entrenched we don’t recognize them for what they are, fear, doubt, anger, etc. This is why I am offering the free long distance healing session below.

There is power in prayer and holding love in your hearts to help create a new and healthy earth. In this healing session we will hold prayer for the water of our oceans and specifically the Gulf of Mexico.

In using the model of quantum physics in healing we work with something called “downward causation”. This is a concept based on working with the energy of probabilities and shifting things on the level of Consciousness. These probabilities then filter down into the physical. While I believe it is beneficial to take physical action, it is more effective if we change the consciousness behind it first so that we do not continue to create the same problems. So, in addition to a group meditation to hold Love for the Gulf of Mexico I am offering a free group session to assist in removing old patterns from the groups possibility factor so that we can create something new!

As the days go by and we see the situation in the Gulf continue to worsen, I think we can understand that this situation could use love and attention on an ongoing basis. Do not think that this situation is not affecting you just because you do not live on a state that borders the Gulf of Mexico.

This  event has the potential to harm all of earth’s ocean if the spill is not contained. The information given to the press by BP has not reflected the seriousness of the situation but new information from the scientific community is showing us daily that this is an event that needs our love and attention.

Some of the information below was in last weeks post but I am restating it here for those who are new. Please check out the link below. This page shows you the currents of the ocean and how they flow and you will understand the magnitude of what could happen if the oil gets into the Loop Current in the Gulf and from there, into the Gulf Stream.

Currents of the Earths Oceans

I worked on the ocean and around oil rigs for 12 years as a boat captain….I have seen the damage that happens just from normal drilling operations. I have also seen first hand the negligence of the oil companies in maintaining offshore wells after they have been capped and are no longer useful. I think these issues are important to address. All the money in the world will not keep life on this planet if our oceans are devastated.

There is evidence that we really can heal our Mother Earth through intent, love, and the action of scientific prayer. Check out The Global Coherance Initiative.

Princeton University’s PEAR research has also revealed how our consciousness can affect our reality. But there is one ingredient that is crucially important in changing our current reality. That ingredient is belief. Our belief systems can stop us. If you can’t believe in it and hold the vision it won’t work. Many of the beliefs that stop us are subconscious or so entrenched we don’t recognize them for what they are, fear, doubt, anger, etc. This is why I am offering the free long distance healing session below.

The reason I have chosen to focus on the Gulf of Mexico at this time is that this situation has the potential to harm all of earth’s ocean if the spill is not contained. If you have noticed the press on this subject, every thing has been understated and then later the seriousness of it is upgraded.

Our volcanic eruption in Iceland seems to be leading the way! Things can no longer stay the same. The old paradigm fights for survival as the New begins to take action. Mother Earth is shaking things up!

Much thanks to Gregory Scanlon for his Earth Day offering. He has prepared Planetary Wheel for Earth Day this year. Take a look!

If you wish to contact Gregory send me an email and I will forward the message to him.
