Welcome home

Wow, it's hard to fathom how much has happened and shifted since the last time I posted on this blog. I can for certain say that I have experienced many miracles. I was invited to participate in Bhakti Fest representing the Prop 37 campaign to label GMO's and was oh so grateful to attend!! There was so much magic and love that week in the desert. Maybe ecstatic bliss is a better way to put it. I made many new, and wonderful friends from around the country but particularly L.A. that welcomed me into their hearts & tribes. As I had been feeling called to spend some time in the city of angels, meeting my new family set the stage for me to make the transition from San Diego. In the last 3 weeks since I arrived at the end of September, I've been gifted the experience of my first Ayahuasca ceremony which was the most amazingly beautiful, heart opening experience I've ever had, met Marianne Williamson and was gifted by her a signed copy of her book Return to Love, I attended Agape for the first time and got to wish Ricky Byers Beckwith a happy birthday with a big hug, got invited to help with several higher consciousness events that I wanted to attend but wasn't sure how because of cost, and lastly the biggest miracle of them all- I was offered a beautiful, furnished apartment in the heart of Santa Monica, 7 blocks from the ocean, that I get to stay in by myself for the time being in return for a bit of gardening and house work. I feel so incredibly blessed to say the least.

This has been a most transformative time. I'd like to tell you a story about how one seemingly awful encounter with someone ended up shifting my perception radically. As I've written about before on this blog, most of this past year I have been what a lot of my friends like to call "on tour". Basically, that means I've been traveling about, with no home base- camping out of cars or sleeping on friends couches. I've done this as a means to devote much of my energy to my inner spiritual work. Feeling I couldn't possibly hold down a normal job while doing this much healing from all my past trauma. And I am glad that I honored myself for being brave enough to do this, because it hasn't been easy. The last few months I spent in San Diego I was extremely uncomfortable, with little money to buy food or put gas in the truck that was loaned to me. I was very lucky to have some amazing friends who offered up their bathrooms and kitchens to me so I could sometimes feel some sense of normalcy. One day, while the truck was parked outside my dear friend Katie's house (where I had a key and frequented mostly) I received an angry note saying I couldn't park there on the street and that the neighbor was going to have the truck towed if I continued to do so. Knowing that I hadn't broken any laws, as the car had been there less than a day, I decided I wasn't going to let this person bully me out of the neighborhood. I told Katie about the note and she warned me that it was one of the older, crankier guys on the street and that he had caused a lot of drama for people before by letting the air out of there tires and what not, so not to do anything to upset him.

Fortunately, a friend invited me to house sit for a couple weeks so the truck was out of his sight for a while but then finally came the time for me to park on the street again. I could feel there was going to be a confrontation, and sure enough as I was sitting inside the camper organizing my stuff, he came out and approached the vehicle. I opened the door and immediately he unleashed on me. As I had already decided, I wasn't going to let him scare me away. But I also wasn't going to lower my vibration to engage with him. As he tried to tell me why I couldn't be there and how I wasn't "contributing" anything to the community, I stood my ground with firm conviction and at the same time I blasted him with so much love that he eventually got frustrated that his approach wasn't working and he stormed off. I closed the door to my humble little home and immediately burst into tears. I was frustrated that I had created such an imbalance for myself. I wanted so badly to share love and joy with everyone I encountered, and yet I had sacrificed so much of myself in the process that I was struggling to survive. I didn't want to be homeless anymore and I definitely didn't want to be treated like an outcast by the people in the community I was wanting to serve. After my crying session was over, I decided I didn't want to be in the crankster's energy vicinity anymore and got out to move the truck. But to my surprise he was waiting for me. He called me over and before he could even see my tear stained cheeks, started to apologize for his behavior. He shared a bit of his story, and I shared mine. There was such quick energy clearing and heart healing on both parts that by the end of our conversation he was offering to let me use his shower and help me find work. But that was only the beginning....

We started to build a friendship and instead of trying to push me out of the neighborhood now, he started to keep a watch out over me. One day he even brought me and my friend a really nice bottle of wine. But it was the conversation that we had right before I left town that really rocked my world. He started off by telling me that somehow I had really gotten under his skin- something he prided himself on as being almost impossible. After all, this was an old vietnam war vet whose shell was tough as steel and had grown up with enough money and power to get his way with whatever he wanted. And yet, somehow little ol' me with nothing but the power of the love in my heart sparked something in this man that he could not ignore or forget. After some dancing around the subject, he told me about his daughter and the relationship she's been in with a man who is essentially abusive to her. My new friend confessed to me that he was ready to call up a couple of his old Hell's Angels buddies to go to his house and hurt him- badly. The words he used to describe what he wanted done to this guy almost had me in tears. But then he said something I will never forget, which was that something I had said to him the first day we met made him change his mind about it all, which he admitted was very surprising as he considers himself to be a man of action and apparently that was how he was used to getting things done. I could hardly believe what I was hearing. This man was telling me that something I said had such great impact that it actually helped to keep someone from potentially losing their life. In that moment, I was grateful for all of the perceived struggles of the past year because it was those experiences that had brought me to the place of knowing that I could overcome fear with the power of LOVE.

And with that great leap forward, I am now ready to start offering my Divine gifts of service in the form of being a clear channel for Source to express through me in order to facilitate healing for others. I am now in the process of creating a new project called The Let's Love One Another Experiment. Here is some info. about it and how you can get involved. Thank you all for your continued love and support. Blessings.

My claim, or hypothesis for The Let's Love One Another Experiment is if we set our intention upon creating sacred space for heart healing to occur by utilizing various healing modalities such as guided meditations, sound, breath work, sacred geometry, mandalas, plant medicine ceremony, ho'oponopono, gratitude, prayer and any other way Source chooses to express through us, we can effectively increase the amount of love we feel for ourselves and in turn, one another. So in true experiment form, this is a trial and error procedure. It is bound to get a little messy and I can guarantee there will be plenty of tears shed along the way. All that is asked of you in order to participate in this experiment is that you enter into it with an open heart, recruit your friends, and check back in with us from time to time to share your experiences. So let's delve into the unknown cavernous regions of our heart space with the intention to shed light upon the darkest of corners and the courage to remember our Divine truth.

My vision is to take this experiment with me on the road and hold space at festivals, yoga studios, spiritual centers, school campuses, parks, farmers markets and anywhere else I am invited to connect with open hearts. If you are a {heART}ist that is interested in joining forces in light and love- please email me at letsloveoneanotherexperiment@gmail.com

If you live on the west side of LA and feel I could share my gifts with you in some way, I am available for individual heart healing work as well on a donation {a.k.a. love offering} basis.

Bee-Friend Love

Sitting in the park yesterday I witnessed one of the most amazing miracles of my life. When a bee landed on my cheek (I have been attracting bees in multitude recently), I quickly swiped it off so as not to be stung. It fell to the ground unharmed but just a bit dazed and confused. As it was regaining its composure, a large dog ran up and accidently stepped on her. Her wing was badly torn and she looked in very poor shape. My friend thought she was already dead. I cupped my hands over her in the grass and for 30 minutes I sent her loving, healing energy and thoughts. Slowly, she started to move a bit and as I looked closer I noticed her wing had grown back perfectly!!! She spent the next 20 minutes or so hanging out on my hand until I carried her to some flowers and insisted she go with them. I couldn't believe that she didn't want to leave me! It was such a beautiful experience. Most of my life I've been afraid of bees due to allergies and it was such an amazing shift to go from fearing them to loving them so intensely. I am so grateful to be alive. Love will always conquer fear <3

Feel the rush!!!

     Welcome home soul family.  It's taken me a while to get back into the head space of writing this blog, but alas, once again I am ready to bare my soul in hopes that even one person might find comfort in knowing we have a shared experience.  The last month, not unlike the last year, has been quite the emotional roller coaster ride.  My situation has not changed much in the sense that I am still without home, car and steady income.  For the last couple weeks of June I managed to shift my perceptual state considerably.  I moved into a state of fearlessness and trust and just like I came to experience while in the islands, the magic began to pervade everything.  I began living so fully in the present moment- with so much gratitude and awareness of my innate power- that for a short time again my daily existence consisted of one synchronistic explosion after another.  When I would follow my joy, it would deliver me to the perfect moment and place where the doors of opportunity were clearly marked and wide open.  Standing inside those open doorways would be, none other than, the one and only person who could help me cross over the threshold at that moment in time (although I've come to understand that time is simply an illusion- a mental construct we create because non-linear based perception is too overwhelming for our senses at this point in evolution).

       I love those moments.... pure ecstatic bliss in which everything becomes so surreally perfectly Divine that I can't help but laugh out loud!! The great cosmic joke, with whom I've been playing an eternal round of hide-and-seek, in which I seem to have amnesia and sometimes forget the game we are playing,  once again creeps up behind me and tickles me to my fullest delight and for a moment I let go of all worry, struggle and fear and I remember.... I remember who I am. I remember where I came from. I remember that I never actually left the womb, but that I am still surrounded by the amniotic fluid of Source and everything in existence is an expression of Love and Source consciousness manifesting itself in physical form.  And that means everything, including what we perceive to be "bad" or "negative".  It all has it's place and a role to play in our evolution.

     During the last week in June I felt honored to be invited by a friend to attend a Sundance sweat lodge- a ceremony performed in the Lakota tradition.  We drove out to Joshua Tree in the late afternoon and marveled at the beauty of the surrounding hills, with the sunset casting a hue of pinks, blues and purples across the desert sky that left my heart aching for more time spent in wide open & wild spaces.  We started preparing our prayer bundles for all the people/things we wanted to pray for during ceremony and I gave thought to all the people I love and to all sentient beings who need healing . Although I had been in a good mental state for a number of days leading up to this, I wasn't quite sure what to expect once in the sweat.  I somewhat anticipated to have some heavy stuff get stirred up, if only because that is the nature of such intense prayer.  I prayed for the healing of my family, my friends, for all people on this plane of existence.  I prayed for the plants and the nature spirits to work with us in cooperation to cultivate lasting gardens so that all may have access to healthy food. I prayed for my cetacean relatives who called for my help time after time while swimming in the waters off of Maui.  I prayed for the planetary healing of water and soil. And I prayed for myself and called upon Great Spirit to guide me and give me courage to continue on this journey, and to help me always remember I am the Co-Creator of my existence.  After our four rounds of prayer, I emerged into the full moon light feeling alive, strong and like an empty vessel, albeit a bit to my surprise that I did not have any emotions come flooding into my awareness.  But that was even more reinforcement that the inner clearing work I've been doing has been to my great benefit.

     But seeing as change is the only constant in this universe, my ecstatic high eventually wore off a few days after the sweat, and with it came the next wave of emotions that had been dwelling deep within not only my psyche but,  my physical body as well.  It began to rid my body in the form of an achy back, sore muscles, and flu like symptoms.  With it came intense feelings of anger and resentment.  At first I could not pinpoint where this anger was coming from.  In a sense it did not even feel like mine, and for a moment I thought I might be channeling the pain of humanity as a whole.  I smudged myself with sage and for a day felt quite a bit better.  But then the anger returned and this time I knew for sure it was mine.  It came with sobs and wails and for a few days I retreated into the solitude of the home I am so lucky to be care taking for the time being.  It became clear that I am unhappy about not having more intimacy in my life.  I realize now that I am suffering from a lack of affection, a lack of touch in the most basic sense.  I want to hold someone's hand, and not be afraid.  I want to cuddle and play and hug and laugh. And kiss.  I want all the love I radiate out to the world to be mirrored back to me through physicality.  All the strength I've had to muster these last few years has helped me to overcome great obstacles and has served in helping me to"unknot" a lot of my kinks, so to say, but it has also left me feeling isolated and afraid to get entangled in anyone else's mess.  And yet, this is the illusion I've chosen to hold onto.  And for what purpose?  Do I really feel like I'm helping myself out by keeping things all neat and orderly by not merging with another?  My experience up to this point has been that the people I've drawn into my life have not had the same desire to go deep, as I have.  And I am unwilling to settle.  I value a fearlessness to push beyond the comfortable and explore the deepest, darkest corners of our heart-space~ as I feel there is no other way to fully live.

     And with that exploration sometimes you discover things that might have just felt better left alone.  But I know that leaving something unattended to is only leaving it to be dealt with at another time, and that my physical body is being primed to accommodate more light and so now is the time to get it all out on the table.  The one thing I feel most intensely is frustration- at not having a sacred space of my own, at not having the money to take care of basic necessities, and of not having a partner by my side during all of this.  In a sense, I feel my intuition led me back to the mainland to meet someone and yet, I continue to question whether I'm even interested in pursuing a monogamous relationship or if polyamory is much more suited to my personality.  Also frustrating, are the premonition dreams I continue to have about a man I've never met and with whom I feel a strong karmic connection, but who I know to be in a happy relationship with someone else.  And still I know it is all Divinely perfect.  I am precisely where I need to be and all is unfolding exactly as I designed it to.  I will continue to be gentle and loving with myself as I release these toxins, thankful for the reminder that this is what it means and feels like to be having a spiritual experience in this physical form.  I thank all of you who took the time to read these ramblings of my heart.... I have never dared to share so much of myself and hope this inspires others to open up and let love and light flood those dark corners of the soul. Let all fear be cast out from under its shadow by the light of love!!! Blessings to you all and goodnight....
     

And I surrender....

     Wow. What a process this last month and a half has been of letting go and surrendering to my Divine purpose- which continues to only be shown to me in flashes of nanosecond lengths.  I have purged most of my material possessions- I am down to some books, clothes and my prize crystals and singing bowl, along with a few miscellaneous art supplies. I have never felt so raw and exposed to the world. My layers of comfort are dissolving rapidly from one day to the next. I have $6 in my pocket and have had very little luck finding work lately. Were it not for the generosity and hospitality of a couple friends I would be in a very different position, as I have no vehicle and no income stream.

      The energy has been very intense with the full moon on 6/4 and the transit of Venus eclipsing the sun on 6/5. I, along with almost everyone I've talked with recently, have felt like a total looney bird. It feels like we are being pulled, squeezed and compressed through a tiny gateway into the next portal of consciousness. It has been an intense and highly emotional time. From one hour to the next my moods fluctuate from high vibration where I feel the magic and love of Source so fully and intimately that my heart sings out in joy and gratitude, to feeling overwhelmed with the enormity of my daydreams and perceived responsibility to share my light, in essence a judgment of myself for perhaps not doing all I think I should be. I tear up and cry at random moments and sometimes just feel like stomping on the floor in a fury of tantrum. I know that I am healing from many lifetimes of pain and suffering and I have chosen to be here at this time in order to experience this planetary shift in evolutionary consciousness.  I consistently remind myself that I am clearing out the old patterns of stuck energy in order to make room in my vessel for the maximum amount of light possible. This is a time for healing on multiple levels and dimensions. My etheric body and my physical body are aligning and showing myself the utmost love and forgiveness is the easiest way to help this transformation take place.
  
     Surrendering to my Divine plan is easy to grasp theoretically but, has been pretty difficult to put into practice. For years I have had grandiose visions of starting farms around the country that teach job skills to the homeless, where there is a community kitchen so no one goes hungry. I've dreamt of learning to sail so that I could charter boats to take people to commune with the dolphins and whales. I've brainstormed and toiled with starting a vegan ice cream company with fresh tropical fruits, where for every cone sold I donate one at the children's hospital. I fantasize about all the art I want to create from recycled materials I find washed up on the beach, or altars and medicine wheels I want to build from live and dried plant and mineral matter. I think about learning natural building skills in order to create sustainable communities where people can live in their joy. I get excited thinking about creating venues or outlets for ecstatic dance to take place. I want to continue with my woodwork- visions in my meditations have clearly pointed to building hand planes and surfboards, and continuing with the line of skateboards I started. To balance that I want to plant trees. I dream of having a space to practice energy medicine and continue my ethnobotanical studies. And I fancy doing all of this while living part of the year in Maui and who knows where the rest of the year. I want to travel and see the world but I want to do it while following the flow of energy. And most importantly I want the basis of all of the above mentioned dreams to be in service to others. I've learned that I am only truly fulfilled when I am opening my heart and connecting to others through giving. My biggest quandary right now though is which dream to start with and knowing where my energy will be best utilized. My head is buzzing with ideas and yet I am so overstimulated and inspired that I can't feel in which direction my heart is tugging me. I am afraid that my lack of resources will prevent me from making progress even once I do figure it out and, yet instinctively I know that once I fully let go and stop worrying about what I don't have and focus my intent on what I do have, the energy will start to flow to provide me with what is in alignment with my highest good.

    So, my objective now is to still myself more and refine my subtle energy so that I may recognize where the doors are opening before me, and so that I can continue to create my vision of heaven here on earth. I affirm Divine timing in my life and trust that by staying in my joy and continuing to honor and love myself fully, I will continue to attract experiences and opportunities of the highest vibration. I open my entire being to be flooded with light and love so that I may continue to radiate that love outward to all of you. I am filled with gratitude simply to be alive. I know the veils are rapidly deteriorating and that I have a choice in how I perceive this reality. Thank you to everyone reading this for your love and support. Shine on bright stars...

Ho'oponopono

Ho'oponopono is the ancient Hawaiian healing method of forgiveness and release. All it involves is taking responsibility for everything you are experiencing in your life, regardless of fault, and blessing it with this mantra:
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
I love you

I am just starting to learn more about this healing modality and I will keep you posted as I start to experience its benefits. Mahalo nui loa.

A Radical Shift

I'm sharing an article from starchildglobal.com which I think clearly articulates what many of us are experiencing right now. Enjoy.


Radical Shift: The Venus Transit of 2012 (Repost)
By Celia Fenn – June 1, 2012

http://starchildglobal.com/

I think by now most people will have become aware that we are passing through a very powerful series of Energy Adjustments and Recalibrations.

These commenced with the Equinox in March and have been ongoing, building towards the Venus Transit on the 6th of June.

Archangel Michael did say in the January transmission that the Venus Transit would be one of the two power points in this year, and it is surely proving to be just so.

It is the first part of the major Realignment that will take us through the 2012 portal and into the New Earth Reality beyond. And the key word is Realignment.

We are all being realigned and recalibrated on the Light Body level so that we can raise our consciousness and our personal frequencies to the levels that will allow us to be comfortable and happy in the New Earth. So, what this means, in “real” terms, is that many of us are facing major challenges with regards to money, homes, relationships and work, all those very basic things in our lives in the 21st century.

This is because things are realigning for the New, and whatever is not in alignment with the new is feeling great stress, as it crumbles and drops away. If we are wise, we will realize that it is best to allow this process and to flow with it rather than trying to fight against it.

Just know that in the place of what is being released, something far better and more in alignment with you and your life in the New Earth will arise to take its place.

These changes and challenges may be very intense, as this is more or less the last adjustment before the big whooosh as we move through the 2012 portal. I call it Radical, because at this point your Higher Self may be giving you that last push that says that this is not working for you, you need to let go and create something new. Of course, if you have been allowing the shifts and changes, then you may find that your life is opening up wonderfully into new levels of Creativity, Partnership, Relationship and Joy. You may be following your passions in your life and work and finding that flow of Abundance that is the energy of the New Earth. If not, this period of Radical Shift will bring you into closer alignment with what you need.

Venus is the Solar System level of Consciousness that resonates with the Goddess Energy, with Love and Relationship, with Money and with Passion and Beauty. At this time, all these issues are being highlighted and transformed. On a Planetary scale we can see how the Economic system is crumbling, especially in the “First World” of the USA and Europe, and how it is making space for the “New Economy” that will take us into a sustainable and co-operative way of living. On the personal level, many people are finding that they are making radical shifts in their attitude towards money, and that the desire for conspicuous consumption has been replaced by the desire to live in an balanced way and in harmony with the Earth. Money is simply a means of achieving a balanced lifestyle, where the focus is on living in the energy of beauty and harmony with all beings and with the Earth.

In close connection with this is finding work that ignites your Passion for life and is harmony with your soul purpose and brings you Joy. Many of you will be feeling the urge to let go of past ways of work and reaching out for work that is an expression of your Soul and your Passion.

As far as Personal Relationships are concerned, there will also be tension in partnerships whose basis is no longer in alignment with the purpose of your Soul and the energy of the New Earth. At this point, you will be guided to reconsider your contract in your relationship, or to simply move on to a new partnership that is more aligned with what you are becoming and what you wish to create in your life.

These energies and challenges will build towards the transit on the 6th, and you may find around that time that there will be some very deep and fundamental changes in your life. Don’t panic! This is all leading you towards something better and deeper, and more suited to where you are heading in the time after the 2012 portal!

You may also be feeling quite intense physical symptoms as your Light Body makes its final adjustments for the Transit and for the later Portal transit. As you bring your Soul Star and Earth Star chakras “online”, you may experience pains and discomfort in the legs, or dizziness and nausea and disorientation, or bouts of flu and colds.

These are all part of the process as the DNA activates and the Light Body surges energy through the system to bring everything into harmony and activation. This also activates the Template for Human Divine Perfection in the DNA and activates the ability to go the “next step” in this ongoing process of Spiritual and Physical Evolution.

Divine Love

It's time to honor & balance the energies of both the Divine feminine & masculine. Compassion opens the door for unconditional love to fill our hearts!!

Venus Transit - By Govinda - May 2012
Source: via Elevate page on Facebook

Venus passed between the Earth and our Sun on June 8th, 2004, and initiated an eight-year cycle known as the "Venus Transits".

The Venus Transits cycle is a rare celestial event that occurs every 113 - 130 years, when Venus eclipses the Sun two times - at the beginning and at the end of an eight-year period.
The second Venus eclipse will occur on June 5th, 2012.

Astrologically, Venus represents our relationships with others. Communication is a major factor in all of our relationships. Whenever Venus eclipsed the Sun in past recorded history, there was a major breakthrough in communications.

For example, at the time of the last Venus eclipse in 1874, the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable was completed that created the first intercontinental communications by wire between the East and the West. In 1761, another year of a Venus eclipse, there was a collaboration of astronomers at 77 observation points from all over the world to determine the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Today, we have expanded global communications for the masses through the Internet and satellite systems. Our ability to communicate with each other worldwide is continually expanding. The questions now become: What are we communicating to our world - love or fear? and, How is our media (the Internet, computer games, the movie industry, cell phones, etc.), affecting society as a whole?

A successful relationship is created through good communication, mutual respect and consideration for one another. This happens best when we recognize and honor the Oneness in all of us. When we are able to do this, we will create peace between each other, our organizations, our governments and countries. A good way to resolve conflicts with others is to recognize how we are the same, not how we are different. This creates a foundation from which we can build a positive, peaceful relationship. For example, when a mother loses a child in war, regardless of her color or faith, the pain is the same. When someone is shown respect and love, the joy is the same. If you realize that you and your perceived enemy both want peace so that suffering may end, then you can begin to talk from a place of mutual understanding, rather than from aggravation.

The Divine Feminine Awakens
Venus eclipsing the Sun represents an awakening of the Divine Feminine energies in our world. For thousands of years, the world has been ruled by patriarchal societies. These masculine rulers have created wars, power struggles, destruction, pollution, fear, pain, separation and famine. They have shown little or no respect for feminine wisdom or our Mother Earth.

The patriarchal organizations of the world have repressed most knowledge of women's roles in world history. Recently, information has begun to be revealed that recognizes the truth of how women have affected our history. The books, The DiVinci Code, by Dan Brown and The Expected One, by Kathleen McGowan, both reveal the truth about Mary Magdalene and her relationship to Jesus, are good examples of such information. It is time for the pendulum to swing back towards the Divine Feminine and rest comfortably in the middle. To become whole, we need both the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine energies, equally in our lives.

As the Divine Feminine energy interfaces with human consciousness, it awakens and expands compassion within our hearts, and emotional healing can occur for all of Humanity. Compassion awakens the ability to feel and express unconditional love. To be able to love without attachments or expectations is the highest form of love that a human being can express. This kind of love supports the healing of others and our personal evolution/ascension.

One of the keys to accessing Divine Feminine healing energy is through forgiveness.
Only when all is forgiven will total love be available to us. We must forgive others and ourselves for all of the perceived wrongs that have ever been done. We can heal ourselves if we are willing to feel and express all of our emotions, and then to forgive ourselves and others for all that we have perceived as wrong. This process will liberate us from the bondage of our emotional pain.
Forgiveness is the key to releasing ourselves from our past. When we are liberated from our past and live fully in the "now" our true happiness may be realized and our power to create is maximized.

A Question Of Balance
Venus is the planet of love. The world needs creative solutions, feminine guidance and love in order to heal. These energies will continue to increase during this period, in spite of the attempts of the fear tactics of male dominance.
Venus represents the heart and the feminine side of our being.
The Sun represents our individuality and the masculine side of our being. Venus aligning with the Sun is symbolic of our Feminine (Anima) and Masculine (Animus) energies coming into unity and balance. Venus eclipsing (in front of) the Sun symbolizes our need to consider the feminine expression first, before the masculine, and to allow the feminine energies to guide and balance masculine expression.

Creativity Awakens!
Venus also represents the creative and artistic sides of our natures. The Venus Transit will catalyze previously hidden, latent, artistic talent and creative abilities. People who have never expressed an art form before will awaken their hidden talents. Artists will discover new modalities through which they can express themselves more deeply. For example, many people who have never played a musical instrument will suddenly feel a desire to learn and express themselves through music. Some will want to join the local acting clubs, and so on.

Uncovering Secrets In Relationships
Again, communication is a key factor in all of our personal, business and international relationships. This Venus Transit is calling for a deeper honesty in relationships. Since the Venus transit from 2004 - 2012 coincides with the Uranus in Pisces cycle, communications between humans will develop on intuitive levels. The combined energies of these two cycles will catalyze heightened intuitive awareness of our hidden emotions and desires, as well as awareness of our partners' hidden emotions and desires. Eventually, we will no longer be able to, or need to, hide our true feelings from each other. In time, we will develop total trust and love for each other.

Walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death
The world needs a higher, altruistic, spiritual love to manifest and prevail over the lower, more selfish emotions. A world where unconditional, spiritual love prevails is our potential as human beings. Conscious and unconscious fear-based emotions are obstacles to this higher love. To discover and express this kind of love, Humanity must first expose and purge the fear-based emotions in our collective consciousness.
From an astrological perspective, Venus represents the emotional energies in our relationships with others. When Venus eclipsed the Sun, it blocked some of the Sun's light and exposed the dark side of Venus, which represents the shadow side of our emotional natures. This began an eight-year process of uncovering the shadows in our emotional relationships. These shadows are the unresolved, repressed, fear-based psychological energies that unconsciously cause dysfunctionality and unhappiness in our relationships. They cause us to behave in ways that undermine our relationships, block intimacy, and cause breakdowns in communications. Essentially, these shadows block our ability to truly love another person. These repressed emotions usually begin during our early childhoods and/or may be carried over from past lives.

We must take responsibility for how we show up in our relationships with others. It is important to observe our feelings and our behavior with the important people in our lives, and to come to terms with our dysfunctional emotional patterns. It may be helpful and revealing for each of us to ask these questions: "Where am I not able to be truly open, honest and real in my relationships with others?", "At what point do I shut down emotionally?", "Where are my boundaries?" and "Are these boundaries healthy or are they blocking my intimacy?"

It is up to each of us to allow intimacy into our heart to expand our relationship with others.
Intimacy can only happen when we allow others to "Into me see." This develops when we let down our barriers and allow others to see into our hearts. To the best of our abilities, we must be honest with ourselves. We must allow ourselves to be vulnerable and expose our true feelings (even if they are negative emotions) to those whom we are in relationships with. This will endear ourselves to others and deepen our intimacy with them.

Expanding Love
Another result of the Venus Transit is an increase of our capacity to love others more completely, deeply and intensely. This will include heightened feelings of love and appreciation for our partners and other people in our lives. Our emotional natures are melding with our spiritual natures, which is expanding our capacity for unconditional love.

The opposite will also be true.
We will become more clear and sensitive to the truth about all of our relationships. If a person is not in alignment with our higher good, we will become increasingly disillusioned with this person. Our dysfunctional relationships will become increasingly apparent, and we may feel a need to change the structure or boundaries of these relationships. We may need to end some of our relationships that are no longer serving our personal evolution.

What you Appreciate, Appreciates
In our relationships with others, it is good to let them know how much we appreciate their being in our lives. Let's be thankful for all of the qualities that we enjoy in others and let them know how much we appreciate them. Remember that what we appreciate, appreciates.

The most effective way to accomplish self-understanding and personal mastery is through our relationships. We can monitor our process of personal mastery of our egos by observing our interrelations with others - are we experiencing conditional or unconditional love?
Compassion opens the door to unconditional love. Unconditional love is supported by seeing the Divine in others and acting in integrity with love. Our relationships with others are our greatest gifts, and integrity is vital for each relationship to work. Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. It helps to ask, "What is the highest good for all concerned?" The higher good for all can be perceived in your heart from a feeling of love.

No Man is an Island
We should never underestimate our power to influence the evolution of the world. Each of us is an integral part of the Collective Consciousness of Humanity. When one person evolves spiritually, the Collective Consciousness evolves as well. Whenever even one person increases compassion and opens their heart to unconditional love, he/she raises the vibrational frequency of the World. As the Collective Consciousness evolves, so too shall each individual. A quote from Bette Reese says it all: "If you think you're too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito."

Integrating Sacred Love
By the time of the second eclipse of the Sun by Venus, on June 5, 2012, Humanity will have evolved to a place of greater readiness for a higher love. Hopefully, after eight years of processing the shadows of our emotions, awakening intuition and developing compassion, we will have cleared the psychological obstacles to unconditional love.
Then, Peace on Earth, and Goodwill towards all people will be possible.
Sacred love expands when the Divine in one person appreciates and honors the Divine in another. Thus, the sacred wheel of love is created and Heaven on Earth will manifest for those individuals. As this happens for everyone, Peace on Earth will become a reality. Namaste - Govinda

A prayer

Spirit of love
That flows against our flesh
Sets it trembling
Moves across it as across grass
Erasing every boundary that we accept
And swings the doors of our lives wide-
This is a prayer I sing:
Save our perishing earth!

Spirit that cracks our single selves-
Eyes fall down eyes,
Hearts escape through the bars of our ribs
To dart into other bodies-
Save this earth!
The earth is perishing.
This is a prayer I sing.

Spirit that hears each one of us,
Hears all that is-
Listens, listens, hears us out-
Inspire us now!
Our own pulse beats in every stranger's throat,
And also there within the flowered ground beneath our feet,
And- teach us to listen!-
We can hear it in water, in wood, and even in stone.
We are of this earth, and we are bone of its bone.
This is a prayer I sing, for we have forgotten this
and so
The earth is perishing.

Fellow starseeds

I feel very fortunate to have found the Starseed Network website tonight. Here is an excerpt taken from their mission statement which resonates very deeply with my being. My heart is stirring with ways I can fulfill this mission. Enjoy.  http://www.starseedsonline.net

Specific goals:

• Coordinate Starseeds, Lightworkers, Awakening humans and other Multidimensional beings, in order to take action and bring forth planetary ascension, assisting all ascending souls and create communities and grids for New Earth.
  
• Instill respect and love towards the mineral, plant and animal kingdoms of Earth, as well as all natural resources* by promoting all actions and attitudes aimed to the preservation and restoration of the environment.
  
• Teach Love to future generations and children and serve as caretakers for the latter, as children need to develop their full potential in order to be examples of love and wisdom and the driving force of a peaceful society.
  
• Encourage the creation of sustainable communities all over the planet following a set of guidelines that include the use of clean, safe and durable technologies that do not represent any thread to humanity and the environment. We will work towards bringing the knowledge from other off world civilizations that have succeeded in this goal in their own star systems.
  
• Preserve and promote the diverse cultural and artistic expressions of all regions in Earth. Acknowledge the works of artists and musicians who bring through this means messages from spirit and boost through art and sound the awakening of humanity.
  
• Motivate and educate people of Earth about their true power which resides in the unification of society connecting through the heart, without discrimination and setting aside belief systems that promote separation and fear. Assist people in raising their voice to demand changes to the current authorities in charge of the well being of humanity and fight against all forms of corruption.
  
• Assist humanity during these transitional times, especially during the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters and after.
  
• Help our work teams all over the world heal and gain spiritual knowledge by teaching and counseling through our own experiences and continue our own learning paths, therefore creating a ripple effect. As this goal is accomplished and once our teams have reached the necessary level of awareness and clarity they in turn assist humanity in the healing journey.
  
• Bring forth disclosure to all corners of Earth in order to move forward with the main goal of becoming an open galactic society.

Gratitude

Lately I've been struggling a bit with what to post on this blog. I want to be real and share from my heart~ and of recently I have been terrified to do so. But what is this irrational fear I am creating for myself as a roadblock? Am I afraid of being judged? A few weeks ago I would have said 'absolutely not' and yet now something has shifted. I find myself in a suspended state of anxiety and worry that I am not fulfilling the mission I set out to do in coming back to the mainland- which was simply to share the message of love with any open heart. I believe I continue to do this in my day to day dealings with friends and people I meet at various locales, and yet somehow I have started to judge myself for not doing it in a bigger way. In some respects I have been distracted with the logistics of survival. I am thankful to have several friends to stay with but I am feeling the urge to get either a van or RV so I have a sacred space of my own. 

Since returning to the mainland I have created very few outlets for spiritual development and expression. I have somewhat abandoned my core practices for connecting with Source because I have been spending my energy in other places. This has left me feeling somewhat down and lost. Yesterday however, I made a sacred day for myself in order to honor and celebrate the solar eclipse. I took my blanket, crystals and singing bowl down to the beach and set up a beautiful altar and grid with the stones and had a beautiful experience meditating and praying. Although I have not been feeling too emotional lately, there was a definite welling up of tears. Finally I felt the movement of some stagnant energy that I needed to release and I was grateful.  I know I am powerful enough to create and manifest whatever is for my highest good. I trust in divine intelligence and universal abundance for whatever I might need. I know that my being happy and in a place of joy is activated when I humble myself in service to others. And in writing this blog post I realize that in order for me to face my fears, I must share my heart openly with all of you and let go of any doubt, self judgment or worry of the future. I am the divine feminine form of Source consciousness and I love myself unconditionally. And I love all of you unconditionally as we are all made of the same light. I am grateful for this life and am happy to be sharing it with such a wonderful soul family. Love and blessings to every sentient being in this universe. 

Power Path ~ New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse Update May 20, 2012

Excerpt from lightworkers.org
Dear Friends,

The New Moon and partial solar eclipse is Sunday May 20, at 5:48 PM Mountain Daylight Time. This is a very intense time that can bring breakage, conflict, change and potent fuel for your dreams and bids for power. Some of you may already be experiencing or witnessing increased accident activity, short tempers and things feeling a bit out of sync. This is highly charged solar energy and you can infuse your commitment with this solar energy, which represents the masculine. The quality is fiery and explosive and will be fueled by the winds of change. So use it well!

We recommend using this time wisely as anything that passes through your thoughts and feelings will be magnified. Watch what you think about, what you say and how you react. The magnetism of the eclipse will draw some big energy so be careful where you put your intentions. Stay away from known conflict and negative situations. We advise spending the time around the eclipse in positive thoughts and intentions and in a higher centered space filled with beauty, love and gratitude.
Blessings, Lena

We are limitless beings & it is up to us to create whatever it is we are seeking. We are powerful beyond comprehension and so it is our responsibility to be clear about what it is we want and Source will always be there to co-create it with us!! Let's make a concentrated effort to use the solar eclipse this weekend as a catalyst for positive change and growth. We can align our intentions for the benefit of the greater good so that all beings may know peace on a deep level. With our light we can inspire hearts to open, healing to take place and the vision of unconditional love to spread like wild fire! Know that any detachment you may feel during this time of great paradigm shift is a self-imposed illusion. We are all so intrinsically connected that no amount of effort to separate could ever even succeed. We are citizens of mother Earth more so than of any one state or nation. Make home wherever you are, know that you have family everywhere you look and lets start treating one another with more love and kindness!  We are so lucky to be perfect expressions of Source consciousness and to show our gratitude all we have to do is laugh & love :) Have a beautiful day!

Share the love

Have you ever thought about how you can deliberately bring joy into another persons life? Whether it be someone you know or a total stranger we can consciously choose to try and lighten up someone's day with even the smallest of gestures, such as simply making eye contact and smiling. But what if we take it beyond that? How about getting really creative with ways to bring more joy into this world. I've been handing out my 'You Are Love' postcards left and right in trying to share my joy but I started thinking about how I could push it further. Yesterday, I spent the afternoon walking around Ocean Beach with postcards & pen in hand and took the time to write personalized messages to total strangers. I thanked the lifeguards & postal carrier for all their hard work. I wrote 'thank you for being here' to the couple on the boardwalk who looked a bit sad & lonely. I expressed my gratitude for being able to share in such a beautiful day and invited others to join me. And I invite all of you beautiful people to share your stories or ideas on how you envision bringing more joy and love into this crazy world. Let's inspire one another to love more. To raise our vibration to the highest high. We are here to simply love and live in joy. Thank you for being here. Love love love to you all. Mandy

 Powerful Tool For Sending Love And Healing To The Earth

A powerful tool for healing the Earth. We are going to send healing energy to:

1. All bodies of water on the Earth.
2. The air of the Earth
3. The soil, rocks, crystals and molten lava of the Earth both on the exterior and interior of the planet.
4. The trees and all vegetation on Earth.
5. All living beings on the Earth.

For each aspect of the Earth we are going to state a command and witness the healing occurring:

WATER:

Creator of All That Is, I command for love and healing energy to be sent to "all bodies of water on the Earth". I command for all negativity, toxicity and lower vibrations to be released ~ sent to your light, and transmuted into love. I command for healing energy to be released into all bodies of water raising their vibration to their highest expression of love that the waters can contain at this time. Show me: Watch as the Creator removes the toxins and sends them to the Creators light and fills all bodies of water on the Earth with glowing energy. Thank you it is done.

AIR:

Creator of All That Is I command for love and healing energy to be sent to "the air all around the Earth." I command for all negativity, toxicity and lower vibrations to be released ~ sent to your light, and transmuted into love. I command for healing energy to be released into the air raising its vibration to the highest expression of love that the air can contain at this time. Show me: Watch as the Creator removes the toxins and sends them to the Creators light and fills the air surrounding the Earth with glowing energy. Thank you it is done.

SOIL, ROCKS, CRYSTALS, INNER/OUTER EARTH:


Creator of All That Is, I command for love and healing energy to be sent to "the surface of the Earth and inside the Earth to the soil, rocks and molten lava." I command for all negativity, toxicity and lower vibrations to be released ~ sent to your light and transmuted into love. I command for healing energy to be released across the entire surface of the Earth and inside the Earth raising its vibration to the highest expression of love that the interior and exterior of the Earth can contain at this time. Show me: Watch as the Creator removes the toxins and sends them to the Creators light and fills the inner and outer Earth with glowing energy. Thank you it is done.

THE TREES AND ALL VEGETATION EARTH:


Creator of All That Is I command for love and healing energy to be sent to "to the trees and all vegetation on Earth." I command for all negativity, toxicity and lower vibrations to be released ~ sent to your light and transmuted into love. I command for healing energy to be released into to the trees and all vegetation on Earth raising their vibration to their highest expression of love that the vegetation can contain at this time. Show me: Watch as the Creator removes the toxins and sends them to the Creators light and watch as the Creator fills the vegetation of the Earth with glowing energy. Thank you it is done.

ALL LIVING BEINGS ON EARTH:

Creator of All That Is, I command for love and healing energy to be sent to "to all living beings on earth for their highest and best good." I command for all negativity, toxicity and lower vibrations to be released ~ sent to your light, and transmuted into love. I command for healing energy to be released onto to the planet assisting each being with their highest and best good, and raising their vibration to the highest expression of love that they are willing to contain at this time. Show me: Watch as the Creator removes the lower vibrations form the entire Earth and sends them to the Creators light and witness the Creator sending love and healing energy all across the entire planet. See the planet glowing with love and light. Thank you it is done.

Whatever you visualize is perfect for you. The Creator will show you in your mind a vision that is easy for you and specific for you. You may see gray clouds or gray energy leaving and going up to the Creators light and white sparkles being sent down as healing light or streams of white light that makes the Earth glow. Whatever you see is perfect. You can also write your own commands. Setting your intention, making a command to the Creator and witnessing the healing occur is a very powerful way for you to be pro-active in the healing and transformation of the planet. YOU do make a difference.

Thank you for sending love and healing to the Earth.  Love, Sabrina

Guarda che bella luna!!

Just want to let all my Maui ohana know how much I love & miss every one of you. Hope you all enjoyed the super moon last night~ and I can't wait to play and howl under its luminescence with you all again soon...

My lucky day

     Aloha my lovely friends! What a week it has been trying to reintegrate back into city life. Being so removed from large expanses of wild spaces has definitely got me thinking I need to get out into the desert or the mountains soon. I'm daydreaming of long silent car rides with the windows down and nothing but wilderness in sight. I'm really looking forward to getting a vehicle so I have a bit more freedom to move about. Luckily, the limited transportation has given me ample time to stay home and work on new creations. I just finished another postcard design which should be sent off to print soon so I will post photos as soon as that is out. Earlier this week I made a bunch of jewelry to take out to the Ocean Beach farmers market. I sold a number of pieces which helped to put a little cash in my pocket, but what was more special were the handful of bright souls who stuck around long enough to engage me in conversation.
      I really appreciated the love and support I received from my new friends who I really hope to cross paths with down the road. In talking about my mission to spread love, I felt their hearts open and embrace me without judgement! And in turn, any self judgements or confining thoughts I continue to place upon myself are quickly dissolving into the abyss of oneness & love. I am so thankful for the awareness to see all of life as one beating heart, one light expressed in multitudes of form. As I lay under a gnarled pepper tree this afternoon, feeling the warmth of the sun on my toes, my hair playfully entangling itself in the grass, I stared up through the lacy green and blue and saw all of life merge; thinking about how Source is equally powerful in whatever form it chooses. Just as I'm entertaining these thoughts a little bird swooped through and shit all over my pretty little dress!! I laughed so hard that it became the highlight of my day! All I could do was thank the little guy for the humble reminder that we are all servants to one another, to this light we all share, and take it as a good omen of amazing things to come....
With all the love in my heart,
Mandy

The journey begins.....

     Aloha friends and welcome home!! After much brain-storming and procrastination I have finally gotten the blog up and running! For those of you who know me personally, know the last month has been jam packed with excitement and a little bit of chaos in trying to get back to the mainland U.S. from Maui. But, alas I have arrived and have been so lovingly welcomed home to San Diego by all of my friends and family. It was somewhat bittersweet leaving all of my Maui ohana behind in order to set sail for new adventures across this most beautiful continent, however, I am overflowing with gratitude for the guidance I have received and in trusting my intuition in order to continue on my path in sharing the message of love. I have decided to let go of fear and trust that if I align my decisions with my soul's purpose, not only will I not fall, I will soar higher than ever imagined. So I dive face first into the Great Mystery. Right now I am technically homeless, jobless and carless. And I am so grateful to be so free. In fact, I have never felt so light. I can more or less carry every possession I own on my back, with the exception of a few keepsakes that a friend has so kindly agreed to store.
     The mission that I now embark upon is rooted in Spirit and the calling is guiding me to create in order to give back to our most generous terrestrial host, Mother Earth. The creation of the postcards was done in order to give people a way to share beauty & love with one another in order to foster better relationships. The message on the first card design says 'You Are Love'. I believe in order to affect change, we will most greatly benefit from doing so through our love & light. There is much healing to be had, both on an individual level as well as on a systemic scale. We need to raise the vibration to a higher frequency so that we may create the conditions for things to radically improve. One goal of mine is to pre-address postcards to go to different governmental & financial institutions. The perception of "Us" and "Them" is misguided and will only further the illusion of separation. In actuality, we are all so intricately interconnected that we, in essence, are only fighting with ourselves. The sooner we as a society come to this consensus, the better we can start to redirect our energies toward loving and uplifting one another in order to recognize our fullest potential as conscious beings.
     As I mentioned, this is my way of giving back, but not only for my fellow humans, but to all life forms on this planet. My ultimate goal is to start a not-for-profit called Let's Love One Another, in which proceeds from my card sales will go back to supporting environmental projects, such as reforestation and marine life protection. So for you, my dear loved ones, I will continue to share my story and art in hopes it will lead to shared inspiration for all who care to become a part of my new family. My tentative plan is to spend the majority of the summer traveling along the west coast and up into Canada before heading east this fall. As of now, I am working on manifesting a van or RV to live in during this venture. I for-see attending festivals and flea markets as a means of connecting and sharing with others my mission. If anyone is interested in connecting with me along the way, or you just want to make a recommendation of your favorite camping spot, please do not hesitate to shoot me a message. Much aloha and gratitude for your interest! Shine on bright stars!!
