Spirituality | The Prophecy of the White Buffalo Calf Woman Materializing

White Buffalo Calf Woman speaks. My sisters unbuckle the humanness that keeps you so strapped in to all the roles that you once played.  All has changed and the cosmic merry-go-round stops in front of your door. You are a conjunction of all of your fears, your dreams, and your desires.  You are conjunction of time and space, heaven and hell.  You are the destiny of this beauteous planet that you stand upon.  You hold the vibratory key that escorts many into a place of safety.  You lift them by praying for them, by holding the warm fire light for them.  You lift them in your song, in your laughter and your invocations.

 

We ask you to embrace all shortcomings that you try so hard to cover and prevent others from seeing.  We ask you to embrace and love all the unwise things you have done and all the imperfections that you wear as scars.  For all creation is beautiful as are you.  The intertwining of the leaves, of the grass, of the wind and you is the most beautiful of all dances.  Your worth is priceless and in that precious vibration you need to embrace all the dreams that still live within your heart.  Do not cut yourself short.  Do not put on the brakes when you yearn so deeply to fulfill desires that are  but a tiny seed of creation waiting to be birthed.

 

The time to address all your fears is now.  The time to move forward wearing a badge of courage is now.  The time to dream big is now.  Do not be afraid of the predictions of the physical world, for the vibratory level that you exist is beyond the reach of what makes others so fearful.  You must believe without a shadow of doubt.  Look at your shadow and embrace every part. Every valley of woe, of death and demise you have walked through, now comes to a point of reflection and in this reflection there will be a collage of healing mirrors.

 

Do not be embarrassed by what has happened to you in the past no matter what form that took.  Every role you have played serves you well now. Every badge of courage, every fear, every shame is wrapped up in a cocoon of holy light.  Honor it and understand it.  The physical body must move forward thru these shifts and fears.  It will scream, it will kick and you will feel like you are dying.  This is all a game to keep you less than.  Walk through the fears, the angers, the disease and the lies, come to a point of complete clarity, within this clarity lives a great power. I am White Buffalo Calf Woman.

By Bevin Cohen

I’ve long been amazed by the generous bounty offered to us by Mother Nature. Even as a young boy picking wintergreen berries in the woods, I just couldn’t believe that these tasty treats were available for me to enjoy, in quantities greater than I could ever consume, and the only cost was an afternoon in the shady forest, harvesting the luscious fruits as I listened to the melodious whistling of the birds and the occasional scurried sounds of a startled chipmunk or squirrel. 

As an adult, my appreciation for Nature’s endless gifts has only deepened, and I find IMG_1408myself preaching her message of abundance to anyone willing to listen. Through my work as an author, herbalist, and educator, I’ve been placed in a unique position to share my knowledge, experiences, and passion with audiences the world over, and the core of my message has always remained the…

Spirituality | About Self-Love, with Matt Kahn

Self-love is the ability to be good to yourself, no matter who is or isn’t good to you. As your self-worth elevates by treating your heart to the friendship, support, honor, and validation you deserve, you become less resonant with those who say one thing and do another, make promises only to break them on a regular basis, or take their unprocessed pain out on you. When self-love is active, you are able to honor anyone’s potential, while not placing yourself in toxic partnerships from a standpoint of “what if”.

In self-love, you are able to have a point of view, establish healthy boundaries, and utilize the power of your voice — all from the graceful power of an open heart.

In self-love, you don’t need the agreement of others to set yourself free or anyone’s permission to be as you wish.

Instead, you just need time and space to align with your true essence– cheering, cherishing, and accepting your way into an unwavering depth of clarity, confidence, and inspired action that only your love can activate in you. In time, other members of your soul tribe will appear and what often calls them forward into your reality is how consistently you are willing to emotionally support yourself.

This is why it is essential to love yourself more, not less. Not just as a modality in response to emotional triggers, but as an embodied living practice that becomes as essential to your soul as your breath is for the body. And, when knowing how each “I love you” simultaneously sends blessings of light to every heart on a quantum level, you come to realize the most direct way to heal yourself and transform the planet occurs within the same heart-centered space.

La’au Lapa’au | Nutritional Impact on Immunity and COVID – 19 | DonnieYance.com

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Although statistics show that people over the age of 65 have an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 and dying from complications due to underlying conditions, it appears that it has more to do with nutritional status than age alone. It’s true that the older we get, the more nutritional deficiencies we may have, primarily because of poor dietary choices throughout life.

Unfortunately, nutrition is often overlooked in favor of pharmaceuticals and other medical interventions. But diet plays a critical role in fortifying the immune system and in helping the body fight off and overcome infections such as COVID-19.

The Foundation of a Healthy Immune System

Often missing in public health discussions around immunity and infection are nutritional strategies to encourage the optimal function of the immune system. In spite of the long history and tradition of botanical medicine—supported by a large body of scientific data—herbs are rarely mentioned as useful…

Paradigm Shift | DEVELOPING A KEY TO THE WHOLE PICTURE

Presented to Humanity by the Sensei of the Soulfriends, January 23, 2017

The Philippine Islands | Not all of us shall reach Satori this lifetime, but all of us would like to have, right now, a picture of the whole pattern, from beginning to end. To guide us in navigating the treacherous vicissitudes of life. To acquire a worldview or philosophy. To have a spiritual framework that can enable us to make better decisions in Life. Or simply, because we want to know the whole Truth. Ok, I am obliging you.

Here is a key to the systems framework of the Whole Picture. It is meant to be a guide to the whole synthesis of Wisdom. I am affixing actual disciplines themselves as references (Dance of the Disciplines). Your assignment is to study and research the details so that you can fill in the gaps in your knowledge frameworks. Apply this systems paradigm in your life. Since this is Truth, may it give you Wisdom, and Compassion, and Altruism, and Peace.

Let us begin.

Let us begin to capture and radiate Wisdom, in verses of clarity and comprehension.

 

IN THE BEGINNING (THE REAL BEGINNING)

The Oneness has existed for all time. The Oneness shall exist for all time. The Oneness was, is and shall be. It is omnipresent, infinitely powerful, absolutely without weaknesses of any kind. It is immortal, and enjoys immortal bliss (Book of the Oneness, Nonlinear Mysticism Teachings, Summit of the Mountain Teachings). The Oneness Has existed for all time. But, from moment to moment (not sequential time), it may produce Fractals from its Efflorescence (Nonlinear Mysticism Teachings, Book of the Oneness, Quantum Physics, Quantum Cosmology).

These Fractal Systems will exist along three general Cosmic Curriculum States (Nonlinear Mysticism, Summit of the Mountain Teachings, Fractal Physics). These are the following: Nonlinear Cosmic Curriculum, Sequential Cosmic Curriculum, and Planetary (or Matrix) Cosmic Curriculum. Elaborations on the significance of these systems abound in the Metaphysics of the Soulfriends (ANAM CARA facebook posts).

These Fractal Systems are free to explore the Cosmos in all its multipotential dimensions, and planes. The Cosmos, being a reflection of Perfection, may cause these Fractal Systems to reflect Holography to a very high degree (Quantum Physics, Sacred Mathematics, Sacred Geometry, Fractal Physics, Mandala Art). All Souls emanating from the Oneness (Nonlinear Mysticism, Quantum Physics, General Mysticism) are also free to explore the manifold dimensions of the Cosmos which is patterned in this current flavor into the system of ten plus one densities (10 plus 1 densities). This realization is prevalent in the thought of the greatest Mystics (Mysticism, Nonlinear Mysticism, Plotinus Thought, Taoism) but is currently being approached by the disciplines of Science, especially those of the highest accuracy and rigor (Quantum Physics, Quantum Cosmology, Superstring Theory, Fractal Mathematics).

This concept is obviously popularized as the “Sacred Marriage” of Mysticism and Science. But in the hearts, and souls and minds of the greatest Mystics (Plotinus Thought, Neoplatonism, Nonlinear Mysticism, Taoism) and their descendants and apprentices (Platonic Philosophy, Taosim, Jainism, Sacred Geometry), science and mysticism are One. They are reflections of the Oneness. Ultimate Reality is one. There is no difference between them. This realization is also the highest refutation of the occult and exobiological systems, which may mistakenly postulate variant perspectives of Ultimate Reality.

However, something strange has occurred in this sector of this Universe (Birth of Evil, Nonlinear Mysticism, Gnosticism). An Inceptor has gone astray (Gnosticism, Summit of the Mountain Teachings). And this Inceptor has created a perverse system of thought (Dark Polarity), revolving around itself which is about to subsume (World History, Exobiology, Evolutionary Biology, Archetypal Psychology) all the paradigms of this Reality into its own twisted perspective. In many ways, this Inceptor has gone mad, to use a popular term (Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, Guidance and Counseling, Analytical Psychology, Psychiatry). Many beings from various Orders of Being (Nonlinea Mysticism, Summit of the Mountain Teachings) have tried to heal this Inceptor that has gone astray. The healing process is continuing to this day.

Meanwhile, some information energy essences have tried to be proactive and have recruited a being of a special kind. They have requested this being to help heal the Dark Inceptor. In ancient times, this new being that has entered the picture has been called by various names, Sophia, the Goddess Sophia, the Christ energy, the Logos, or even the Shekinah (Cosmology, Mythology, World History, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, Nonlinear Mysticism). These synonymous terms all refer to a being, or rather, a group of beings from a higher dimension (correction, a higher density) who has been requested to enter this particular Reality pattern and try to heal the Dark Inceptor. The most accurate term would be the Sophia Collective, for it refers to a group of beings, and not a single entity.

On the Planet Earth at the present time, the Sophia Collective is composed of genuine Seekers, all of them displaying and radiating the Nonlinear Curriculum pattern. The Dark Inceptor has guided the development of instruments for the execution of its dark purpose (Evolutionary Biology, Exobiology, Ancient Astronaut Theories). It has manipulated the sequence, timing, flavor and direction of events in this fragment of the Universe (Galactic History, Evolutionary Biology, Archetypal Psychology, Nonlinear Mysticism) for its own dark ends and dark intentions (Oblivion Poem). It has coerced a species (Birth of Evil, unpublished) to further its agenda. It has manipulated this species for countless eons of time (Mythology). Warnings from both Epic Fantasy, Science Fiction and World Mythology abound about this fateful partnership of Dark Inceptor and Chosen Species. This species has become its absolute servant (Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary Psychology). Now, the whole Milky Way Galaxy is about to be converted into Hell! A living hell!

In this solar system, the minions of the Dark Inceptor arrived thousands of years in the past (Exobiology Research, Nonlinear Mysticism, True World History). It has directed and influenced the birth and death of planets and similar systems (Sumerian History, African Cosmology, Exobiology). It has invaded this solar system and claims it as home (Mysteries of the Illuminati, Secrets Archives of the Vatican, Secret Archives of the Jesuits). This planet and all its systems are products of its manipulation, whether political, religious, financial, military, historical, spiritual, occult, criminal, and most other systems (Wikileaks). Even artistic worlds, like the Hollywood, do not escape its manipulation. It has directed the sequence and tempo and direction and outcome of most of the events in this Planet we call the Earth (True World History, Frontier Research of Exobiologists). No being in this Planet has not been influenced, directly or indirectly, by its tentacles of evil. From the poorest farmer in Africa to the weirdest nerd in Asia. From the most wayward harlot of Europe to the most fanatical member of an occult system in the Far East. All have tasted from this evil predator, which many thinkers consider the “greatest warrior.”

This theme has been repeatedly part of the warning of various enlightened systems of thought (Gnosticism, Tolkien Literature, Iliad and Odyssey, Epic Fantasy and Science Fiction, the Malazan Series, Archetypal Psychology, World History, World Literature). Awesome in its breadth and depth is the manipulation and deception created by the Dark Inceptor and its evil minions. And the minions are also in the thousands, if not the thousands of thousands (political, religious, military, financial, occult, criminal, spiritual, spiritualist, economic systems and the like). It is the Hydra of legend (Mythology, Archetypal Psychology, Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy, World History, World Literature). This is the Truth. This is a picture of the Whole Pattern, from a Systems Perspective.

We would like to thank the Oneness, and all our Higher Selves for making me into a vessel to receive, transcribe and share this information to everyone. And that is what it is all about.

THIS IS WHO WE ARE.

THIS IS ALSO THE STORY OF OUR ENEMY.

Within these insights may lie the story of our salvation, rebirth, awakening and Ascension.

Warmest regards,

Sensei of the Soulfriends

Mo’olelo | Ethics, morality, cultural values in Hawaii

Ethics, morality, cultural values: In all human societies, they are the rules of behavior established by religious beliefs.

For Native Hawaiians who have adopted the religion of another society, then, there is a question of whether their traditional values also have been replaced.

For most people living in Hawaii today, rock ahu (altars) and restored heiau are interesting artifacts of a time in the past, reflecting cultural values that are no longer valid.

But Hawaiians rediscovering their cultural roots also are rediscovering and validating their ancestral cultural values, which inevitably brings them into conflict with the dominant society.  […]

Mo’olelo | Voyaging Chiefs of Kāne‘ohe Bay, with Dennis Kawaharada

Kāne‘ohe Bay is surrounded by some of the most well-watered lands in Hawai’i and some of the most beautiful mountains in the world: the Ko’olau Range­peaks, two to three thousand feet high, joined by walls of sheer green cliffs. Ka Moa’e (the ENE trade winds) sweeps warm moist air into the mountains and clouds form along the summit. Rainwater has cut steep gullies into the cliffs giving them their distinctive wrinkled appearance. When it rains, dozens of thin silvery waterfalls run down the vertical gullies; half obscured by rain and mist, the waterfalls seem to pour directly from the clouds. […]

Mindfulness | Being The Change

“True life is lived when tiny changes occur.” — Leo Tolstoy

Research shows that most people spend up to 50 percent of their time in their heads – a tendency that does nothing to increase our happiness and in fact has been proved to be detrimental to it. Instead of being habitually consumed by thoughts of the past or of trying to control the future, mindfulness is a way of engaging with the present moment. It’s a mode of being that helps increase clarity and peace of mind.

It is often in the more repetitive, day-to-day activities that we find ourselves switching into auto-pilot. So why not embrace these moments and see them as an opportunity to be more mindful? Do not to worry about trying to clear the mind of any thoughts or feelings. Instead, try and see yourself taking a back seat; witnessing the thoughts and emotions as they come and go. If you find yourself getting distracted, simply bring your attention back to the physical senses and focus your attention back on the activity itself.

  1. Being Mindful in the Shower

Unmindful: Vague awareness of the sensation of water as you step into the shower. A daily battle with the temperature control trying to work out why the temperature never quite hits the spot. Within seconds your mind wanders back to that episode of American Idol last night. Was Simon Cowell wearing a wig? Is his hair naturally that glossy? I wonder where he gets those high-waisted trousers from…?

Mindful: You become aware of how good the warm water feels as it washes over your skin. Being mindful of the smell of the shower gel, and the sensation your hands passing over your skin; being mindful to set the temperature before you step in the shower; mindful of thoughts cropping up; mindful of how much water you’re using; and mindful of the noise of the water coming to a halt.

2. Being Mindful whilst Brushing your Teeth

Unmindful: Brushing your teeth furiously, whilst noticing your reflection and bemoaning the appearance of that spot that seems to have cropped up from nowhere. Running around the house with the toothbrush hanging out of your mouth, trying to prepare breakfast, pack today’s lunch whilst hunting out those ever elusive car keys.

Mindful: Becoming mindful of the taste and texture of the toothpaste; mindful of the sensation of your feet on the bathroom floor; mindful of the way that your arm moves to direct the brush across your teeth; mindful of each and every tooth.

3. Being Mindful on your Commute

Unmindful: You’re squashed into the train or bus in a way that you didn’t think was humanly possible. The resentment builds as you move through the journey and people launch themselves into the space as though the world is coming to an end and this is the only route to safety. You find yourself holding your breath because you can’t bear the lethal cocktail of body odour and cheap perfume, wishing that you could magically transport yourself to that swim-up bar in the Caribbean you’re gazing at in the newspaper..“Tropicana drinks are free…”

Mindful: Being mindful of the people around you and recognising that they too might be feeling the same discomfort; mindful of the environment as a whole and your resistance to it; mindful of trying to fast forward to dreamt up situations, of escaping the present moment; mindful of the journey and how it feels – is the ride bumpy or is it comfortable and smooth?

4. Being Mindful while Washing Up

Unmindful: You approach the sink with a heavy heart and set about frantically washing the dishes, trying to get the whole thing over with in as little time as possible. You select the pieces of cutlery you know will cause the least amount of bother (the sieve and that greasy pan come last, obviously!) You find yourself day-dreaming out of the window half aware of that sharp knife lurking at the bottom of the sink. You catch sight of your cat purring smugly from the comfort of the sofa. Wouldn’t it be great to be the cat…

Mindful: Becoming aware of the sensations as soon as your hands hit the warm and soapy water; mindful of how you clean the dishes, taking your time to make sure each one of them is thoroughly cleaned; mindful of what’s going on around you without getting wrapped up in the storylines; mindful of the satisfaction of a job well done.

5. Being Mindful in the Queue

Unmindful: You stand twitching, full of impatience in the queue. You look at your phone and scan aimlessly through old emails and texts, searching for something, anything that might distract you from the boredom of waiting. You sigh loudly when you notice someone fumbling with their purse at the cashier desk. Can’t these people be more prepared? You feel around your bag getting everything out and ready, and realise that you’ve left your credit card on your desk after paying for that concert ticket…

Mindful: You set off mindful and quietly prepared for what you’ll need; mindful of how your mood changes when you first catch a glimpse of the queue for the bank; mindful of how you stand, your breath and where any tensions are as you scan through your body; mindful of the tendency to distract yourself from the present moment; and mindful of how you interact with the people around you.

Be The Change …
Experiment with bringing the art of mindfulness into ordinary activities this week.

Reiki | What Is Shinto?

Hosted by filmmaker Yujiro Seki, Carving the Divine TV is a series of Q&A sessions with Buddhist scholars and practitioners. These Q&A sessions explore the basic concepts of Buddhism and the history of Buddhism so that when viewers finally watch Carving the Divine they will get the maximum value of the documentary.

Today, we have the honor and privilege of welcoming Negi/ Senior Shinto Priest of Tsubaki America Shrine, Rev. Lawrence Koichi Barrish to talk about the basic foundation of Shinto idea and tradition.  To gain a deeper understanding of Japanese Buddhism, it is indispensable to get to know Shinto.  Besides that, Shinto is an amazing Japanese spiritual tradition which by itself is worth your time to learn about!   Please come and join our discussion about Shinto.  I assure you that it will open up your mind and teach you something very different yet inspiring!

We will be asking important questions such as:

What is the belief history of Shinto? Is there any particular founder?

What is the relationship between Shinto and Buddhism?

What is Shinbutsu-shūgō?

What is Kami?

What are the examples of Kami?

Is Buddha Kami?

How can we venerate/worship Kami?

How are Shinto activities in the US?  Is it becoming more popular?

In 1992 Koichi Barrish, an instructor of Aiki-do founded Tsubaki Kannagara Jinja to enshrine the spirit of Sarutahiko-no-O-Kami and the spirit of Morihei Ueshiba No Mikoto (the Kami). Indeed, Koichi Barrish Sensei is no doubt a rare person who has been really trying to overcome the difficulties of understanding the true meaning of Shinto, to continue day and night Gyo (ascetic practice) and Misogi, and who has finally become a Shinto priest – as an American he is the first in Shinto history. Please follow Barrish Sensei and you all can be able to become persons of self-perfection, making your family happier and serving for the benefit of other people and society and for world peace. In Shinto we can have new days that are fulfilling (kokonotari). If you live this way you can fill up energy in each corner of your being. —— written in 1997 by the late Yamamoto Yukitaka Sendai Guji 96 Generation High Priest of Tsubaki Okami Yashiro

“What is Shinto?” – With Rev. Lawrence Koichi Barrish #carvingthedivine 

Energy Update | Matt Kahn, for Week of July 26-August 2, 2020

Although many can view the current state of the planet as apocalyptic signs, it’s important to know that an apocalypse is actually the process of ascension merely viewed through the lens of an unraveling ego structure. To help you through this process, let’s explore the gifts and opportunities the Universe is ushering in, on all of our behalf, to move awareness beyond the surreal intensity of a rapidly-changing world. At this time, the Universe is expanding the collective consciousness by helping evolving beings such as yourself to become aware of and to continue the process of unraveling core limiting beliefs out of your cellular memory.

This means, in spite of the things you intend to manifest, the Universe is helping you acknowledge your most core limiting beliefs by putting you in circumstances and guiding you through a series of outcomes to help you notice the most limiting ideas you conclude about yourself, life, or your place in the cosmos. To help you move through this process with utmost grace, you can ask yourself the following questions:

  • When something uncomfortable, inconvenient, or unexpected happens, what reason do you give for why it occurs?
  • Is your knee-jerk reaction wondering what you did wrong to bring this about?
  • Do you hope to find the lesson as quickly as possible, so to move beyond the perception of punishment?
  • Do you do inner work so intensely, as a way of trying to get into a better standing with a Source that only loves and adores you exactly as you are?
  • Do you overly-spiritualize the perfection of divine timing by assigning blame to your ego’s behavior, a belief that your vibration must be low as a result of such outcomes, or merely holding the notion that you must not be worthy of all you wish to have?

These can be some rather bold questions, but it remains imperative to ask them in order to help you see through the veil of concepts you may be unknowingly and so innocently using to stay asleep in a dream of reward and punishment. As you continue to wake up, you begin to explore a Universe that is all reward with no punishments outside of the limiting and often heart-breaking conclusions we tend to draw in response to the unfolding journey of time. As part of the human condition, human beings often draw conclusions in response to outcomes as a way of maintaining some semblance of control. The belief tends to be: if I can understand why something is happening, I will be able to know what I can do to move through it or even transform it into greater circumstances for myself and others. As always, there is always a kernel of truth hidden within the beliefs of our deepest distortions of reality. It is true, if you could understand why something is happening, you will be able to know what you can do to move through it or even transform it into greater circumstances for yourself and others. And yet, you don’t have to be blamed as the negative cause of any particular outcome, as if you must be guilty of some form of wrong-doing just because things aren’t going the way you had hoped or envisioned.

As the Universe helps you address your most limiting beliefs you have about yourself, others, the world, and reality as a whole– mainly focusing on the limiting beliefs you have about you– it assists in the further expansion of your awakening consciousness by being able to honor the often illusive and mysterious process of transmutation.

Transmutation acts as a sacred fire burning up all that no longer serves you each and every time you are emotionally triggered or turned against yourself in response to an outcome or anyone else’s behavior.

The more you know that life will become whatever series of circumstances is needed to help you examine the limiting beliefs you hold to be true about yourself, the easier it is to let go of needing things to be any particular way in order to discover the happiness, wholeness, inspiration, and joy that you seek. It also helps you uplevel your understanding of co-creation beyond the limits of the ego’s understanding. Co-creation is real, but you are not solely in charge of what comes or goes. Since co-creation references a collaboration, it helps you understand that your partnership with the Universe allows any degree of circumstance to manifest, not because of the insistence of personal will, but through the grace of divine timing that is doing everything in its infinite power to help you become the heart-centered, embodied, and fully integrated consciously divine human you were born to be. As more space is cleared to allow such an embodied and integrated presence of your soul to move deeper into your physical body, you come to realize the true fulfillment you have been searching for comes from being aligned with spirit more often than not, and not necessarily dependent upon what you have, don’t have, want, or resent others for having.

This is why the Universe creates personal and collective head-scratching scenarios, where specific versions of you, along with other characters, show up to behave in ways that allow you to watch the limiting beliefs that may arise in response. Because the addressing of core limiting beliefs is so front and center for so many right now, the key at this time is being more compassionate with yourself than ever before. Let yourself off the hook by allowing yourself to enter a reality where things don’t happen because of anything you do or don’t do.

Because the unraveling of limiting core beliefs is escorting you beyond the confines of psychological imprisonment, it is very common right now to have a rebellious nature when it comes to self-imposed rules and rigidity. For example, if you are on a cleanse, don’t be surprised by the desire or likelihood of cheating, just to know you have the right to do as you wish and be as you may. The unraveling of limiting core beliefs also amplifies the tendency of emotional eating, in attempt to seek surrogate forms of comfort, as the beliefs that once offered comfort are seen to have overstayed their welcome. There is no doubt that as all the pieces of self are put back together throughout your journey of awakening, there will be a remarkable difference in your alignment of choices, but this process is not something your ego can micro-manage or control.

At this critical time of inner alchemical transmutation, the essential spiritual practices are those rooted in self-love and self-discovery.

It is a time where you are truly needed as the one who can deliver the light of Source energy into your being by how authentically and more often you dare to love yourself, while accepting that everything happens to usher in a new version of you and a newly-transformed reality and not because of anything you did ‘wrong’ in any way.

During this phase of transmutation, it is natural to have rampant cravings, feel stir-crazy, confused, mesmerized, or dismayed by life’s growing list of uncertainties, an increase in physical or emotional pain– including pain in your head, as well as electrical surges and shocks along major meridian points. Such symptoms, while representing evidence of transmutation in progress, also act as reminders to be gentle with yourself as you move beyond the threshold of this evolutionary process.

As the pace of life slows to give you a more direct view into the inner-workings of a conditioned past, you are able to cut the cords to each and every anchor and set sail along our most miraculous voyage into new seas of discovery.

With less pressure and rigidity overwhelming an already overwhelming time in Earth’s history, the signs of a newly-awakening world begin to surface in the beauty of your everyday life.

From my heart to yours, thank you for being here, staying the course, and being such an instrumental catalyst in ensuring that the vibration of love is channeled into your heart and reality, no matter how shameful, unworthy, or disconnected any belief suggests you to be. On behalf of the Universe, thank you for being you exactly as you are.

May the Universe show you exactly how, no matter the circumstances in view, love always has the final word. Love always wins.

 

Meditation & Reiki Healing | Relaxing Frequencies To End The Work Week On A Peaceful Note

Dear friends, Enjoy our Live Weekend stream. Listening to meditation/relaxing music has no side effects. There have been numerous studies that prove to be helpful to enhance health, focus and concentration, and many more. But none have ever reported any adverse side effects on you. Moreover it doesn’t even cost you much. It can be purchased inexpensively from music stores, or simply downloaded from the internet, which is often free. Choosing the right music can be tricky task though. While choosing your music, it is better to pick something at least an hour long. Rain sounds, wind sounds, chiming of bells, or music with flutes or simply a chant of “Om” can help you relax. Listening to something that is too loud may spur your mind and body rather than helping you relax.

During this time of “unintentional pausing” I have been diving even deeper into the world of herbs. I am growing a wider variety of herbs, watching herbal webinars and cooking demonstrations, and experimenting in the kitchen. Recently, I learned that flowers from culinary herbs are edible. “Edible” in this case simply means one can eat them — not that they are necessarily “tasty.” However, because the flowers are edible, regardless of their taste, they can be used for botanical color and decoration. Think of a painter’s palette with each paint symbolizing a culinary herb in your garden. Think of how that flower can add color and interest to your meals and beverages. Imagine how the flower would look whole, separated, or even minced. The following are great for adding botanical color.

By Debbie Boutelier, HSA Past President & GreenBridgesTM Chair

It’s summer and the living is easy for our pollinators. There is an abundance of blooming plants from which to choose. A little here, a little there, moving pollen around from plant to plant and increasing the abundance. It’s glorious now, but come later in the year, it will not be as easy. Our little miracle workers will be struggling to get enough to eat. I’m also reminded as I watch these miracle workers in action that all of this is threatened, and without our help a lot of the abundance may disappear forever.

What can we do to ensure that these summer miracles continue? We can construct GreenBridgesTM that will provide places of respite and offer safe passage for our native plants and our pollinators. The Herb Society of America offers a program to do just that. Get…
