The Pre-healing Funk

When you choose to consciously co-create your life with Spirit and Nature, your daily dialogue with your guides will produce numerous healing opportunities. If you intend to change a thing about your self, then you can bet that it will rear its ugly head just before you transform it.



Let me give you a concrete example. Before releasing the need to control situations in the work place you experience a three day run of observing your self as VERY CONTROLLING. This is not at all fun, we never really like that aspect of ourselves we are trying to change. The good news is that when this behavioral pattern or thought construct is amplified, you can be certain that you are transforming it for the last time.



All you need to do is consciously embrace any challenge which comes into your life. Any bullshit which arrises... say to yourself "thank you for this opportunity to transform another aspect of my self." Then simply watch your emotions and reactions over the next few days. I am certain that after a few days of observation you will have seen and released several habits and thought patterns which were no longer serving you.



My motto is that chaos signals an opportunity. Because I believe it so thoroughly,80% of the time I am able to roll with chaos in real time. The other 20% of the time I struggle for a period and then embrace the chaos, trusting that I was about to reach a higher ground.

Create a list of the things which you'd like to learn or transform about yourself. Imagine that your guides or angels are watching you write the list and are ready to create actions and opportunities to help you manifest these visions. Then watch as the pre-healing funk hits you. As soon as you notice that you are living an amplfied version of that which you sought to transform you will relax into peaceful acceptance.

Gaia Consciousness

Purpura Saga by Jean Herzel


All people are both individuals as well as participating in a higher order of consciousness which has been named integral consciousness, Christ consciousness, unity consciousness, etc. I personally like to think of it as Gaia Consciousness because the physical location of this consciousness is Mother Earth.



It is important that our sense of collective consciousness be intertwined with the earth. It is like the benefit of holding a body/mind view over a mind only view. People are like neurons in the body/mind of the planetary organism, Gaia. As we connect with one another we form Her neural networks. This is where our collective wisdom and intelligence lies - in our positive relationships.

All the matter in your reality is comprised of earth. You are the living exhalation of Spirit embracing Nature. The reason manifestation works so well is that you are participating in the unfoldment of God. Or Goddess, or the universe, or the Great Spirit, or whatever you wish to call it. You are the Creator!

You have experienced success in manifesting things in your own life. Imagine the power of groups of people working together to manifest a shared vision. Gaia Rising seeks to be an intentional neural network in the body/mind of the planetary organism ~ Gaia. We are an interfaith coalition because people of any faith can choose to recognize this form of unity consciousness.

To engage in Gaia Consciousness, cultivate a healthy and whole local self. Local self is the name I've given to the individual consciousness which is tied to a human body. When the local self is happy, healthy, and whole the ego can be overshadowed by a deep heart opening. This deep heart perspective affords you a glimpse of unity. At first you will continue to experience the perspective of the local self for the majority of the time. If you choose to continue to engaging in Gaia Consciousness, you can consider yourself a part of Gaia Rising ~ a movement to raise Gaia Consciousness.

Namaste!

Co-creative Partnerships with the Divine

I think of the divine as both Nature and Spirit. Nature, of course, being all matter including our bodies. And Spirit as something which descends from on high to animate the matter in a divine partnership. As humans, we are like bridges between heaven and earth. Our existence is miraculous.

Over time our views of divinity have changed. For two thousand years the western world thought of God as a parent, both benevolent and wrathful. Today both science and spirituality have led us to the view of being connected to divinity as part of a grand unified field, ever emerging and unfolding.

When you set a clear intention both Nature and Spirit reorder your world in order to deliver that which you expect. If you expect bad news... you get bad news. If you expect abundance, you get abundance. I have seen this time and time. Manifestation is a very popular topic, I don't need to explain it here now. However, what I don't think many folks realize is that it all goes much more smoothly if you engage in conversation with both Nature and Spirit.

I'll tell you how I've done it. I ask to connect with Pan and the Deva of Healing - who represent the Nature side of the partnership. They lead the creation and unfoldment of my physical and energetic bodies. Then I ask to connect to the Council of Light. They are the ascended masters, arch-angels, dieties, etc. I don't connect with all of them at once, we each have our own little team of guides. Lastly I ask to connect to my higher self.

From here I either talk directly to them with my voice, or by writing in my journal. I speak about the things I want to heal or learn. Being able to talk about it demonstrates that we're to work on a thing. Most of the time within two or three days some sort of event or drama occurs in my life which appears to be an amplification of that which I've asked to learn or heal. Sometimes it's a re-enactment of something highly emotional. This is an opportunity to live through an event while making new choices and thereby releasing old karma.

Provided I step through the drama with consciousness and care, it then becomes released and I experience an expansion of consciousness as that energy is cleared and re-integrated into my core.

We can work with Nature and Spirit as frequently or infrequently as we like. I generally have a short list of things that I want to work on. There have been periods of time when I healed and released something just about every week. It was a time of rapid growth and change, and it was positive so I let it roll at that faster pace.

Now, there are multiple ways to experience receiving information from the divine. Some of the ways include free writing, painting, art of any kind, channelling, dreaming, meditation, muscle testing, I-ching, runes, tarot, bibliomancy, etc. I have dabbled with most of these but lately I just experience a direct dialogue. The format that works best for you depends upon your learning style. Consider how you would go about learning a new skill such as knitting. Would you get a book, watch a video, have someone show you, hear about it from a friend, etc. After you identify your top two favorite ways to learn, then apply that to communicating with the divine. My primary learning styles are verbal/auditory, and kinestetic. That means that when I'm on a vision quest I actually don't "see" anything. Rather I hear information and I simply know it by a feeling in my body.

I encourage you to invite your guides, either in the way described above or in your own way. Create some sacred space and make a list of what you'd like to work on. Lie still and let Nature and Spirit do energy work in your body. Journal or engage in some form of communication so that you can gain guidance on how to work through your learning list.

Then hang on and enjoy the ride to wholeness and vibrant loving presence!

Much love,

The Gift of Service

When we are committed to serving Love and Light we transform not only ourselves but also the world around us. Sandra Ingerman, an accomplished shaman, writes:

In quantum physics, there is a teaching that has meaning for us here: lower frequencies entrain to higher frequencies. In other words, if you choose to live and act, think and speak, emote and express your feelings as a true visionary, you must transfigure yourself so that you exist in your divine light and perfection -- and then it will be effortless to project that experience onto all life. In this way, you as the inspired visionary will help the radiance of life around you to shine strong.

When we seek to be kind and loving to all of creation, we amplify the resonant field of Love and Light. Other souls, especially anyone who is suffering, are attracted to the health and balance created. It's not merely that Light Workers are role models, but rather that we are raising the vibration of the spaces in whcih we dwell. Friends, family, and even strangers can sense the difference.

BE LOVE and LIGHT!
