Upcoming Energies In May and June

Wesak – May 19, 2019

Wesak is one of my favorite times of year, I just love the blending of the Buddha and the Christ with Quan Yin being a chickie buffer in-between them, these are 3 of my favorite spiritual energies. When they come together is it very soft and powerful and every cell of the body can feel the holy dispensations. Wesak is the celebration of Buddha’s birth/ enlightenment /& death.

According to ancient beliefs, the Buddha was born, attained enlightenment, and left Earthly incarnation under the Full Moon of Taurus. The Buddha returns at this time each year to bring a new Light to the world. Spiritual leaders from all dimensions and times gather in Wesak Valley, high in the Himalayas.

Wesak is the time in which the Christ gathers the entire Spiritual Hierarchy together in meditation to invoke the healing forces of Shamballa, and The Buddha. The Buddha is the expression of the Wisdom of God, the embodiment of Light and the indicator of Divine purpose. The Christ represents Gods promise and unending Love for humanity. The Wesak is like a holy pitcher pouring out a blessed healing elixir. Humanity is in a place of learning to truly see, to create, to make real by looking through the quantum portal, deep into the proverbial rabbit hole. It is time to change the description of what once defined thought. A call to duty is announced to all that are willing to expand.

Without playing favoritism with any particular side of creation, exchange the cross for the crown. Encircling what you want with clear intention, dotting your “I AM’s” and uncrossing your “t’s”. Any and all limitations are the source of your power. Any darkness you battle can be a source of power if transformed from lead into gold. What stretches you comes from all sources. You have changed forever never to return to who you once were. You sit perched on a new branch of heart and light awaiting a signal of when it is safe to fly, neither sign, nor signal comes, You must rely only upon your own intuition to move forward. As a singularity you sit in a place of great power and sacredness; all that you do or do not do is created by you and you alone.

By seeing the existing blessings in your transformative lives you will create a connection for this wave of blessedness to adhere to. The more thoughts you have of blessing what is in your life right now the more energy is generated, and the easier the new connection will be made. Thoughts of thankfulness and gratitude beckon this wave of blessedness; thoughts of negativity repel it.

The fruits of all past labors of life and love can be now tasted and supped upon. What was once thought to be lost is found within ones very life. Energy spent in helping others was placed into a universal account that has accrued to mighty proportions. Nothing was ever lost or wasted or tossed away in thoughts intentions, actions of goodness and kindness. All actions of inherent good have been counted and accounted for by the universal abacus. All time spent in prayer and kind thoughts for others has been exponentially expanded and multiplied beyond earth’s ability to count. A great amount of heavenly rewards finds itself on the road to the masses. Fractals restructure themselves into different patterns of thought as the light within the unexpected and unexplained is turned up so high that even the 3 blind mice can see. You are leaving the energy of what has so distracted you and moving into a place of sharp focus. Chose to see all or nothing, do not turn a blind 3rd eye to any possibility.

I am the Light of Quan Yin

Quan Yin is such a beautiful expression of the Divine Mother. She is known as the Great goddess and Mother of Compassion and Mercy, and is loved and revered throughout the world no matter religious beliefs . Mercy means there is more assistance given through love than through earned Merit. Kwan Yin is associated with the earth, fertility, birth, and healing. She has brought forth the energies of Magnified Healing.

Quan Yin the Goddess of Compassion is often depicted riding on a dragon. She is the eastern counterpart of Mother Mary, she works to balance the feminine energies. She is one of the Lords of Karma representing the sixth ray. Isis carried the same ‘mother energy’ in Egypt. One of the several stories surrounding Quan Yin is that she was a Buddhist who through great love and sacrifice during her life on earth, earned the right to enter Nirvana after death. While standing before the gates of Paradise she heard a cry of anguish from the earth below. Turning back to earth, she renounced her reward of eternal bliss, and dedicated herself to the hearts of the suffering. Following her ascension Kwan Yin made this pledge, “Never will I seek, nor receive, private individual salvation, never will I enter into final peace alone, but forever and everywhere will I live and strive for the redemption of every creature throughout the world from the bonds of conditioned existence.

Quan Yin means ‘One Who Sees and Hears the Cry from the Human World’. Her Chinese title signifies, “She who always observes or pays attention to sounds. she who hears prayers. Worshipped especially by women, this goddess comforts the troubled, the sick, the lost, the senile and the unfortunate. she is now also regarded as the protector of seafarers, farmers and travelers. Quan Yin is depicted as a barefoot, gracious woman dressed in beautiful, white flowing robes, with a white hood gracefully draped over the top of the head and carrying a small upturned vase of holy dew. She stands tall and slender, a figure of infinite grace, her gently composed features conveying selflessness and compassion that have made her the favorite of all deities.

I am the light of Quan Yin. I come on this day to escort you into mercy and blessings for you are truly a blessing to me. You stretch and dedicate yourself to walk upon the path of enlightenment, which is so often strewn with earthly dangers and physical pains. You are such blessings to me because you try so hard to fly above the earthly pain and suffering into a place you can see with the eyes of your soul. You are blessings to me because you continue to pray against all odds. You are my blessings and I come to help you remember the sacred contract that you have made with your body, with your mind, and with your spirit.

For the trinity of you is so very Holy. You house the very universe in your physical body. In the time of Wesak when the Buddha and the Christ came together they will not separate their dispensations and heavenly gifts but will become as One, merging transfiguring and shifting, together.

The Buddha will hold the vibrations of the Christ and the Christ will hold the vibrations of the Buddha. As you merge with them vibrationally you will become like sea water that has been in a jar too long and seeks the ocean. You are becoming, in the fluidness of your future. Allow yourself to be poured into new light assemblies stretching yourself beyond any prior limitations. This is a time for all of humanity to dispense with the contractions, to dispense with the fear, to dispense with anger. Both the Buddha and the Christ come and ask you to disband all that is toxic or negative, release it, and let it go.

These Wesak dispensations come to you as cleansing bubbles that clear what has been hardened. Delete what keeps you less than. Dissolve with what keeps you from loving each another. Diffuse what keeps another from loving you. Stop using the excuses of your past to keep yourself powerless in the present.

I am Quan Yin and you are my blessings. Fluid Creativity This power-filled summer will allow all of us the opportunity to align with all that was before known creation. This energy unveils itself in the form of pure undiluted universal possibility. The alpha and the omega and every atom in-between invite you to partake of their distinct truths. You are finally able to enter the ‘free flowing’ experience of all possibility. Learning to truly see, to create, to make real by looking through the quantum portal deep into space and time, takes its toll on your imagination, pushing you past any possible thoughts into the land of ‘fluid creativity.’ It is time to change the description of what once was thought to be possible and redefine that word.

Like Dolly Parton said ”honey get off that cross someone needs the wood”, exchange the cross for the crown! Encircle what you want with clear intention, dotting your “I AM’s” and uncrossing your karma. You have finally come to the realization that your thoughts are the ‘source of your power.’ Any and all limitations are the ‘source of your power’. Any darkness you battle within can be the source of power, if transformed from lead into gold. This year issues a decree that you must become the Heroes. One who rises from battle over and over again and continues to move forward thru sheer will to do good. You have changed forever never to return to who you once were. You sit perched on a new branch of heart and light awaiting a signal of when it is safe to fly, neither sign, nor signal comes, you must rely only upon your own instinct to move forward. As this singularity you sit in a place of great power and sacredness; all that you do or do not do is created by you and you alone.

Meditation | THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MANTRA, YOGA AND MEDITATION, with Aykanna

Mantra is a direct and powerful catalyst that affects profound change in a human being. It’s a science you can learn to transmute your energy into the creations you want to see occur.

Kundalini Yoga, meditation and Mantra are tools to awaken to your Creative potential.

Mantra only works if you activate your voice and direct it to uncover the secret gems hidden in these ancient sound currents that cut through the ego. You nervous system will unwind in a way you may have never experienced. It happens to us every time. It’s not as hard as you think to shift behaviors and claim your prosperity, health and happiness. It takes a little effort and discipline. The kind of discipline that births an indescribable joy. The joy that gives us a reason for living.

Meditation | Pranayama: Learning the Art of Balanced Breathing

… Balance is the naked truth of nature and this quote holds true especially in case of breath. As the great yogis say, we are the breath we inhale & exhale, the fine line between how much to hold in and how much to let go, creates the necessary ‘equilibrium’. […]
