Full Moon/Spring Equinox update: wowza!

I'm posting the following information from Jose and Lena Stevens, their site is thepowerpath.com. Another extremely powerful astrological configuration. I keep recalling the words of astrologer Dawn Silver, "These are not normal times!".

FULL MOON UPDATE
3-16-11

The Full Moon is Saturday, March 19 at 12:10 PM (noon) Mountain Daylight Time. This is a super moon with strong energies and very close to the earth. If you can possibly be around a power spot during this moon it would be a benefit. However, you can take advantage of the amazing energies wherever you are. Being so close to the spring equinox, this full moon signifies change and opportunity. Pay attention to any opportunity that has landed your way. If it has come easily perhaps you are prepared to act on it especially if it feels right. This is the time for a bid for power. Know that the planet is different. Our footing has shifted and quite literally. Symbolized by the reactor issue, we are being challenged to manage our own power, overcome our fears and step into a new paradigm. There will always be loss connected with change. Always look to the opportunity rather than what is no longer available. Trust the larger picture and greater design of evolution and know that spirit does not make mistakes.

The Spring Equinox is Sunday, March 20 at 5:21 PM Mountain Daylight Time. Do something to honor the fire element this month. Burn something old that represents not only what you wish to give over from the past few months or weeks, but something from your childhood or from your youth that represents very powerfully an identity of yours that is past. This would also be a great time to identify something you are still attached to and either symbolically or actually burn it. Fire is purifying and signifies complete change and transformation. Fire is also the masculine counterpart to the feminine power of water. Both of these elements are strong this year and should be honored as representing the masculine and the feminine within ourselves. Use them, honor them, and thank them.

Blessings,

Lena


ASTROLOGICAL NOTES:
Written by Patricia A. Liles. PATLILES@aol.com
Virgo Full Moon opposite Pisces Sun 28º Saturday, March 19 12:10 PM MDT
Vernal Equinox, Sunday, March 20, 5:21 PM MDT Sun enters Aries, 1º, First day of Spring

Look to this Full Moon and Spring Equinox as an opportunity to experience a portal of intense power, strength and beauty. Much learning, shift and rebirthing can take place in this time frame. The Full Moon preceding the Equinox by less than a day is preparatory and supports intensified emotional involvement and awareness. Because the Moon is full at 28º late in the sign, we will begin to feel the build up of energy when the Moon shifts into Virgo Thursday afternoon at 2:53 PM MDT. You will feel the intensity viscerally and your awareness of a much larger perspective will come with greater clarity. Added weight is given to this second of six SuperMoons of the year. Added weight in that this SuperMoon is the closest the Moon will be to the Earth (perigee) of all six. °Not until November 2016 will the Moon be this close to Earth. The additional magnetic pull on the Earth affects the globe's waters with extreme tides along the coasts. We too are made primarily of water and experience the concentration and pulling on our psyches.

Towards what are we being pulled? The Full Moon chart points this out clearly. The Sun at 28º Pisces is opposing this exceptional Moon at 28º Virgo, and this Sun/Moon axis squares the North and South Node axis forming a mutable Grand Cross. The North Node represents our point of spiritual growth and learning, where we are drawn to evolve. In this chart the North Node is exactly aligned with the Galactic Center at 27º Sagittarius. The portal points us in the direction of opening emotionally, through our hearts, to an energetic alignment with that pulsing, conscious center of our galaxy availing ourselves to the energies that are evolving our planet at break-neck speed.
If we are aware of this opportunity and make a sacred space and allow time to clearly receive its download, we can be gifted with a general re-set of our entire energetic systems - something we need frequently at this time! (Read more! link here).

How can we be of service right now?

Hi..like me, you may be wondering what you can do to help or hold light with all the events in Japan. One thing I can do is share inpsiring messages with you, and here's one from Sandra Ingerman, a great teacher of shamanism and someone of great love and integrity. If you want to know more about her you can go to her site (just put her name into Google).

From: Sandra Ingerman

Our hearts expand as we embrace the enormity of all the pain being suffered by the people and all living beings in Japan who have been impacted by the earthquake and the tsunami.

When we feel that our hearts are breaking as we watch levels of suffering in actuality our hearts are expanding allowing us to be stronger and deeper channels of love and light.

Let us journey deep within ourselves transcending our egos and experience the vastness of our spiritual light and love. In this way we become beacons of light and love for all of life in Japan. Let us expand our individual aura and become one with a spiritual pulsation and frequency to transform the radiation that is moving into the atmosphere.

Move out of a place of pity for the suffering you see and focus on the strong spirit of the people, all of life, and the land itself. In this way you project strength which leads to a foundation of support for all in need.

Let us sing songs of love and healing to the earth, the waters of the world, the air, and to the element of fire. Go outside and sing!

There is an extreme level of panic that is being "blasted" into the collective over the fear of radiation moving through our atmosphere.

Of course there are precautions we all must take on a physical level. But it is also important to remember that it is our egos that are moving into panic.

It is crucial right now that you do the spiritual work you have been practicing over the years. Take the time to find your center. Go out and spend lots of time in nature to center and refocus. Breathe deeply and remember that you are spiritual light and have all the tools and internal spiritual wisdom to guide you during this time.

As a global community we do have great power as we work together spiritually. Let us project a vision of healing and peace. Project a vision of cooling for the nuclear reactors and further disaster being avoided.

Do your transfiguration practice daily and throughout the day and experience yourself as divine light. Divine light has the power to transmute and transform all energies into healing energies. For thousands of years mystics and spiritual healers throughout the world have been using this way of working to transmute toxins and illness. Let us carry on the work that has shown itself to have so much potential for healing.

We must strengthen our spiritual connections so that we can always be open to receive spiritual information when we need it.

Spend a lot of time in nature connecting with the elements and the heartbeat of the earth. Reflect on how you can live a way of life that embraces beauty, harmony, honor and respect for all of life. When we as a collective start to live a harmonious way of life we will see the elements around us reflect back a state of harmony.

Learn to read the omens that nature will continue to show to help guide you.

We must learn to honor the rite of passage and initiation that humankind is going through. We are experiencing levels of death on many levels. Death is not an end but rather is a transition.

In the bible it says that without a vision the people will perish. We are the dreamers of our world. Part of living a spiritual way of life is to be able to surrender to our deep spiritual wisdom and be the dreamers to help birth a new vision of a healthy way of life. We need to be able to hold a vision that the collective can move towards as the old is dismembered. Reflect on the vision you want to be projecting into the world right now and make changes to your vision to lead to a desired outcome. Engage your imagination in a more focused way. Project the best for all of life.

Build up your spiritual muscles!

Let us together hold the planet in love.

Remember that the media moves on after covering environmental, political, and economic events. People and all of life are still suffering the effects of the earthquake in Haiti and in New Zealand, the oil spill in the Gulf, the floods in Australia, the extreme weather in the U.S. - these are just to name a few. People in the Middle East are still fighting for freedom.

All of life needs us to be a channel of light, love, and spiritual healing. We are one collective. We are not separate cultures, separate countries. We are going through an initiation together. Let us do our work and live our lives in a good way. That is how we can be in service to the whole.

During the full moon let us transfigure and experience our divine nature as we beam light and love throughout this great earth.

During the equinox remember the wonderful memories and dreams for your life and for the life of the planet. Project beauty into the collective. Plant seeds of love and beauty and inspiration in your inner garden so that they grow, blossom, and bear fruit here in our earth garden.

Most of all be a channel of love and light in behalf of all of life!

Inspiration for these new times..

Hi, this information comes from someone who channels Melchizedek..I find it inspiring and hope you will also. a link to the source website is provided.

Melchizedek / March 1-7, 2011
Arise, Beloved Lightworkers!

The glory of your true Light is beginning to shine through your physical vehicles and is readily discerned by those who have ‘the sight’. Continue your practice of visualizing your etheric body which surrounds your physical body radiant with the pure Golden White Light of the Christ. This practice is very powerful in helping to bring in greater Light into your body and into your home and World.

As the density drops away from your bodies, you become luminous Beings and each of you walks upon this World with a halo of Light around your crown chakra. This Light is growing in magnificence each day so continue to reach upwards like a sunflower reaching its petals to the Sun celebrating life upon this beautiful Planet. Each day try to remember to thank the Earth, the sky, the four directions, above and below, the air for vitality and life force, the water for sustaining life forms, the elementals and all the kingdoms upon and within the Earth.

For when you are in gratitude, the Universe just loves to give you more of what you are grateful for. Each night before bedtime or perhaps first thing in the morning, make a list of all the blessings in your lives and really feel the emotion of joy and thankfulness from within your heart for all that you have been given. You can sustain yourselves in the frequency of joy and gratitude just by intending to do so and it is wonderful to observe that each of you is doing this more consistently and persistently.

Many of you are now moving into your next steps along the spiritual path that you have chosen before incarnating upon this Planet. As you let your heart and inner instincts guide you as you just follow, you will be surely and gracefully led to that which is the highest good for your selves right where you are now. The synchronicities are flowing smoothly and miraculously within your daily lives and your lives are moving in wondrous rhythm and Divine flow.

As you surrender to this flow and focus on each moment with your full and undivided attention, you will begin experiencing multi-dimensional flashes of insight and vision. Observe all that you can of these occurrences and record it in your journal along with the dates and times. Sometimes, your Higher Self and guides are giving you a message that will not be immediately obvious but which will be found upon the reviewing of your notes. Many clues and signs are being given all around you and being open to their messages will align you further with your Higher Selves.

The hidden worlds are beginning to come into view and you will be delighted to begin to see the inhabitants of these worlds as they become visible before you. This, of course, will happen as each of you surrender yourselves to the love of the Creator and just let go of all former preconceived mental expectations and just become as a child, full of wonder and delight at the magic that surrounds them. As you release the last of the density that has held you back for so long, you will begin to feel as light as the wind and the clouds and your feelings of joy will increase.

Along with these feelings will come moments of remembrance of the truth of yourselves and all that you really are. Many of you will treat these flashes of remembrance as ‘flights of fancy’ rather than ‘reality’ and we say to you, Beloved Ones, that you must have faith that what you are beginning to perceive around you, is in fact, the true reality. Believe in yourselves and trust your intuitive guidance in all things. Let go of any remaining fear and doubt and you will soon soar with the Eagles as your Souls rise in freedom.

And so it is!

I AM Melchizedek

The 9th wave begins on March 9th

Friends, if you think things have been moving fast, just you wait! Here are some predictions based on the Mayan Calendar. This year, 2011, and the 18 days beginning March 9th, there will be great movement towards world unity. Hallelujah!

Things are also expected to be 20 times more accelerated than they have been. I can't even imagine what the implications of that are.

I am feeling moved to get something started in response, locally or online...perhaps a chain of events to support our coming together in a unity wave! Let me know what you think.

The following is from the website of Carl John Calleman PhD who has studied the Mayan calendar in depth:

March 9, 2011: Dawn of the Unity Wave

Last year large numbers of people gathered in the Conscious Convergence event on July 17-18, 2010, setting an intention to manifest unity consciousness as the Ninth, and highest, of the Mayan waves brings the universe to its highest state of existence. This event served as a base camp for intention setting and ascension towards Unity consciousness; We celebrated in joy in the most varied forms, ranging from the temples of Bali to the Mayan elders in Guatemala and from the Sami in the North to the Bushmen in the Kalahari. We could for the first time ever see our planet emerging as a sacred space encircled by a global medicine wheel.*

We are now approaching the actual beginning of this wave of unity consciousness, which begins on March 9, 2011. This is the ninth wave also known as the Universal Underworld. This wave includes thirteen uaxaclahunkin (18 day) periods that propel a process designed to lead the universe and the human beings to their highest state of consciousness.** The purpose of this article is to provide some additional background to this wave, its initiation date and suggest how the energy of the wave may be used in the most beneficial way. This requires that I again summarize the basic structure of the cosmic time plan as understood from the Mayan calendar.

Many people have in recent years come to know about the existence of the Mayan calendar and its purported end date, but surprisingly, not so many have assimilated what the ancient inscriptions are saying about it. In fact, there is only one known ancient inscription that mentions the calendar end -- Monument 6 from Tortuguero*** describes what will happen when the calendar comes to an end. The current reading of this ancient inscription by professional Mayanists is that we will then “witness the display of Bolon Yokte Ku in his full costume and regalia.” So whatever else you might have heard associated with the end of the Mayan calendar such as a pole shift, the end of the world, a galactic alignment, solar flares, radiation from the center of the galaxy, etc., actually lacks foundation in any ancient Mayan text.

Yet what obviously does have a background in an ancient Mayan inscription is Bolon, the number nine. At first sight, the reading of the Tortuguero Monument may sound cryptic and difficult to understand. There is however a lot of surrounding information about Bolon Yokte Ku that allows us to make sense of this insciption.*** Crucial to understanding is that Bolon Yokte Ku is the Nine-Support, or Nine-Step, entity of “period endings.” Bolon Yokte Ku, in other words, is a name for a cosmic pyramid in nine steps. Through extensive factual verification this pyramid has been shown to symbolize the nine levels of evolution the universe undergoes on its climb to its highest state of consciousness.


Each level of evolution, of Bolon Yokte Ku, the cosmic pyramid, is then developed through a series of thirteen time periods. These range from the hablatun (1.26 billion years) on the bottom level to the uaxaclahunkin of 18 days at the ninth level. This means a twenty times frequency increase and speed-up of time with every single step to a higher level. Soon, as of October 28, 2011, the energies of the nine waves are then all going to manifest fully. This final manifestation, I believe is what the ancient inscription refers to when it says that it will be witnessed how Bolon Yokte Ku will appear in his full regalia. The fruits of the nine waves will then appear in their fullness as these are simultaneously completed. This is no longer confusing if we accept that the ancient peoples of the world, including the Maya, would tend to personalize the cosmic forces describing them as “gods”, while, in the modern world, we would probably only describe this as nine energy waves.

As of March 9, 2011, the ninth and highest wave of the Bolon Yokte Ku will be activated. It seems to me that the purpose of this particular wave of 13 x 18 = 234 days is to cap the entire evolution of the universe that so far has been propelled by the eighth lower waves. From what we know about the changing polarities of consciousness of the nine waves it will do so by providing energies that are conducive to the human beings cocreating unity consciousness.

This is the purpose of the Ninth wave. So let us stop for a moment to contemplate the momentous place in time in which we find ourselves. Life, and especially human life, has evolved to the eighth level. Those that have actually climbed a physical Mayan pyramid, such as the pyramid of the Great Jaguar in Tikal, may be able to relate to the feeling of coming close to the top at the eighth level catching breath for the ascent to the top. We are now then about to start the climb to the ninth and highest level of life. It was to prepare for this momentous opportunity that many participated in the intention setting event of the Conscious Convergence last July. We now can follow the intentions we set at this event and actually manifest through co-creating Unity Consciousness. It is now time for us to follow up, and actually manifest the Unity Consciousness that was the intention of this event. The meaning of the unity wave that is now about to begin is for us to cocreate the appearance of Bolon Yokte Ku in its full splendor, the completion of the cosmic plan and its nine levels of evolution. As March 9, 2011 arrives, we are called to begin co-creating Unity Consciousness; March 9, 2011 is the dawn of the wave of unity.

Thus, the year of 2011 is not scheduled to be just like another year. Very likely this is our last chance to live up to being co-creators with the cosmic plan. As this Gregorian year began, the messages that circulated reflected our heightened ambivalence to the passage of time. On the one hand there were the every year kind of messages like: “Hope you will have a great 2011” or “what do you want to create for yourself in 2011?” as if this would just be like another year. Messages centered on the individual, based on a linear view of time made up from years following one after the other.

On the other hand, around the New Year reports started to come about the “aflockalypse.” Large numbers of fish, birds and animals simply died for no apparent reason. This instead pointed to anything but a linear continuation of time in 2011. The aflockalypse is possibly due to the frequency increase that the nine levels of the Mayan pyramid undergoes combined with the extreme degree to which humans have now pushed the ecology of the planet off balance. If this is true, it would call upon us to adapt to this new frequency and also shift completely from asking for things for ourselves and what we as egos or individuals may want from 2011 to what our egos may do to serve the delivery of the divine plan. The ninth wave of unity would then be calling for a complete shift in our way of being, to manifesting unity consciousness, which is the intended end result of the cosmic plan. If this is to happen, it may also call for extraordinary cosmic energies to fulfill the cosmic plan. In fact, maybe the ninth wave will be a Judgment Day that will save the world.

If there is a twenty-fold increase in frequency with every wave, the Ninth Wave, or Universal Underworld, will have a duration of 13 x 18 = 234 days and would then start March 9, 2011. It will progress through seven days and six intermediate nights, each being a uaxaclahunkin. In Mayan calendar language, this means an 18-day period. The 18-day periods can be subdivided into two nine-day counts (two days off from the classical nine lords of the night count) since they will have both an ascending and a descending phase and in this way we may see more clearly the link to classical Mayan calendrics. If the ninth wave is all about creating harmony from what has evolved previously then our task would be to ask the divine for guidance as to what we would do to arrive at this. If we are asking for global harmony we cannot however simply ask for our egos to guide us. Instead we will from the outset have to ask questions like: “What can I do to serve the cosmic plan?” or “What shall I do to further the manifestation of unity consciousness?” If the days of the ninth wave are the time periods most conducive to generating such unity consciousness then we will have to turn for spiritual guidance from the divine in phase exactly with these days of the Universal Underworld.

The ninth wave here joins the alpha to the omega in that for the first time in history it brings the nine-day count to the forefront of evolution. These will be extraordinary times and it is possible that we here will be confronted with a choice of truth versus tradition. The reason is that if the ninth wave will have the strength that we may expect from the evolution of a new underworld then it will be energetically more powerful and stronger than the traditional tzolkin count of 13 x 20 days. The Ninth level will, in other words, bring in a nine-day count that transcends the tzolkin in power and is more meaningful to follow for those seeking to align themselves with the cosmic plan. Still, of course, the tzolkin will continue to live on as an undercurrent of energies.

The rhythm of the Universal Underworld is then a nine-day climb of increasing intensity starting on March 9, 2011 followed by a descending intensity for the next eighteen (9+9) days until a new descent begins of eighteen (9+9) days. We will then have to learn to ride this wave in order to ultimately climb to the top of the pyramid to be able to witness the appearance of Bolon Yokte Ku in “his” full regalia. Calendars to follow this eighteen (or nine day) count are available in German (can be ordered from christiane biebl christiane.biebl@web.de, See also www.indalosia.de) and Swedish (www.livsstrommen.se), but also on web sites in English and French (http://4-ahau.com/
Home.html).

We are calling for everyone to be part of the initiation of this new wave on March 9, 2011. Each of you is welcome to make use of the web site www.treeoflifecelebration.com for communicating with others who share the same intentions. I feel it should be clear that it is something fundamentally new that is proposed here. A frequency of evolution, the nine-day count, which previously has only been vaguely discernible, will come to be the chief guiding rhythm. And if you think about it, it would be truly remarkable if the transformation to a new world could be the result of a mere linear continuation of calendars that have been used for centuries.

The call for events or celebrations to initiate the ninth wave on March 9, 2011 only means to point out that this is the beginning date, the initiation of our opportunity to move into unity together. We would also like to encourage you to find means of celebrating and transforming into unity consciousness during times that work for you, such as weekends around the first eighteen day period, as well as holding the intention for the beginning of true unity on March 9, 2011. In fact, the idea is that this process of transformation generating the unity consciousness of the ninth wave should not end. It will continue to October 28, 2011 and beyond.**** There is no single right answer to how this transformation to unity consciousness is to be brought about everywhere. Yet, there are tools available that can be used and further developed by all those who share the common intention of manifesting unity consciousness. Everything starts with an intention and if the intention is aligned with the purpose of the cosmic plan, it will be increasingly bearing fruit.

Life Is A-Bun-Dance/ Good Laughs from Swami Beyondananda

I went looking tonight on Google for the phrase "Life Is A-Bun-Dance" and I found this by the satirist/life commentator Swami Beyondanda.

AN ALTER NATIVE REALITY by Swami Beyondananda

Do we really create our own reality? Or is it all scripted out over at Universal Studios? The debate has raged as long as debates have been the rage, and I can provide no definitive answer either. Certainly some really big blockbusters have come out of Universal -- and more disasteroid scenarios are predicted for the near future. And yet, small independents continue to write and star in their own successful movies.

As more and more of these alternative scripts get produced, this is helping to bring about an alter native reality. And that is a good thing. For indeed, the native reality could use some altering. In a recent reality check, 71% of those responding said they "disapproved" of the current reality -- the lowest approval rating reality has had since the Great Flood.

This is understandable. Consider the political scene, for goodness sakes. All those endless buttals and rebuttals. The media baits us into arguing, and we keep falling for debate. It is so silly -- we could be making a beautiful brainchild together, and instead we are mass-debating.

And even those natives who ignore the political goings on, they too are in need of altering. Perhaps you are one of those going through "psychic midlife spread" and are complaining, "I seem to have outgrown my old life and nothing fits anymore." Well, as my beloved guru Harry Cohen Baba, the Garment Center Saint, used to say, "When something doesn't fit, you need to make alterations."

Now in the old days when Harry Cohen Baba was still on the material plane, people would come in for alterations all the time. Perhaps they'd just been in a serious karma wreck or suffered a near-debt experience, and their old habits were in tatters. He'd snip a little material here, mend a little tear there, and the natives would leave in a truly altered state, often remarking about how well their life fit.

"Wow. No crimping in the crotch! No more constriction around the neck! And look -- my arms are swinging freely!" I tell you it was quite a blessing to have a guru who could custom-tailor your reality like that. I remember shortly before his passing, the great healer's disciples gathered at his bedside and cried, "What will we do without you?"

The Garment Centered One shrugged and said, "Suit yourself." And this is only fitting. We can alter our own reality (not to mention the reality of the natives around us) by following these simple suggestions:

1. Tell A Vision. If you don't like the current programming, be your own channel and tell a vision....

2. Be An Esteem-Generator. Each of us at some time in our lives has been flattened by an esteem-roller, and it's taken months or years to get back up to a full head of esteem...

3. Life Is A Bun Dance, So Get Out On The Flow.
Sometimes when reality becomes too unpleasant, there is a temptation to dance off into the void. Clearly, this is a void dance. The opposite of a void dance is a bun dance. If you want to enjoy a bun dance, you gotta get up off your assets and shake those buns. Sadly, too many of us don’t know our assets from a hole in the ground. To create an alter native reality — and promote a bun dance — we gotta move our assets and dance, dance, dance, till the sacred cows come home.

there's more..can't find it on the Swami's site but you can do the same search I did..Google the prhase "Life Is A-bun-Dance" and you'll find the whole piece!

I love his wordplay!

How to best use the energies this month: Clear Beliefs, Make Committments

The opportunties this month: Commit to Your Intentions & Clear Beliefs!

These are always a good idea..and there are two specific repatternings that could be helpful: the Belief Repatterning and the Committment Repatterning. Many times, things we are committed to doing or having are not manifesting because we don't resonate 100% with our committment. An example was a couple who said they wanted a baby, but muscle testing revealed they were only 3% committed! What that indicates is that you have a whole lot of subconscious programming working against whatever goals or outcomes you are wanting in your life.

Here are some excerpts from Jose and Lena Stevens monthly shamanic and astrology based newsletter, their report for February. The full update may be found at their website at http://www.thepowerpath.com.

"This is the month where the "ifs" or conditions around your intentions need to be put aside and relegated to a position of less importance. You know on an intuitive level what you truly want and it is only the fear of not getting it that keeps you hesitant to commit. It is the mind that comes up with the reasons that feed the fear and keep you imprisoned in your story.

Are you willing to give up your story? Who would you be without your story? This is not an easy opportunity to deal with. It demands trust, courage and intuition. Use the aggression mode of the year wisely to cut through the bullshit of the mind and begin manifesting that which you have fully committed to. Remember that we are also in an emotionally centered time and headed for experiences that don't necessarily make linear or logical sense.

Belief systems are probably the most challenged this month as they create the foundation of our stories. Belief systems are anchored in the past and will continue to affect our future unless they are disconnected. They are instruments of the mind and only geared towards survival. They will continue to feed you false information until you examine them and give another instruction. This is a great time to examine your beliefs and see how absolutely divorced many of them are from what is really going on in the present. It is important to stay out of judgment as you realize how outdated your beliefs are and the enormity of what needs to change.

Everyone has specific beliefs about what will make them happy, healthy, loved, successful, well, tired, sick, sad, strong, stressed, depressed, anxious, relaxed, good, bad, responsible, irresponsible, forgiven, spiritual, productive, unproductive etc. Take some time to examine each of these categories and ask yourself what your personal and specific belief systems are regarding each one.

Sometimes it is easier to write in a stream of consciousness exercise unless you are able to do this with a partner where you simply express the stream of consciousness regarding each belief. This is not about judging anything to be either right or wrong. This is about uncovering what's there so you can see what has been running the show. Emptying the mind in this way is very powerful and you will get to see where your fears are hidden.

Belief systems are very limiting in that they constantly create the reasoning behind why you can or cannot do or be something or someone. There are many examples in history of people who have accomplished extraordinary things because they did not buy into the belief that they could not.

We have talked before about the power of the collective belief system that guides the evolution of all living things on the planet. In order to change the collective belief system, each individual must first change their own. It is the hundredth monkey effect that dictates that when enough individual belief systems have evolved to a less limited function, the whole collective will be free to evolve as well. So all of you out there that wish to be of service to the planet at this time can do so by working on your own belief systems.

Along with beliefs come expectations. Expectations are different from committed intentions as they are usually attached to a specific outcome. They are fed by your beliefs and their success or failure becomes part of your story. A true "don't know mind" leaves a lot of room for your intentions to manifest in interesting and wonderful ways. When you commit to something one hundred percent, without the need to know how you will get there, the universe will begin to weave it creatively into the physical world.

All information about everything already exists in the quantum field and that information will respond to the instruction it gets that comes from unwavering commitment. The minute you try and control how something is going to happen you diminish the power behind the intention that is necessary for the quantum field to respond.

If you commit with conditions (I will do it "if") the quantum field is a bit confused as to what you really want and will end up creating chaos from mixed messages. Sometimes you have to make a choice. Here is a good example of that. If you are involved in legal negotiations for damages for health reasons (accident, environmental pollution etc.), there is an attachment to your continuing to be in poor health as part of the argument. All the energy you are putting into the legal process is reinforcing the fact that your health and well-being are compromised. The quantum field takes that as an instruction from your belief system. You need to continue to be compromised in order to receive compensation. Therefore the other intention of actually getting well is clouded by the need to remain ill.

Regardless of the other players involved, you may have to examine your original motivation and intention and commitment. If your primary intention is to end up completely well then that is what you intend even if it comes to you in a different way than winning a legal battle over compensation. Beware of giving the field mixed messages. Committed intentions that are not compromised are indeed powerful and have the ability to become manifest almost overnight. If your intentions are compromised or clouded with doubt, mixed messages or conditions it will be much more difficult to see results.

We can't stress enough the power of these times and what they afford to everyone in terms of opportunity if you can commit, stay in present time and get out of your mental trap that needs to know and control the how of things. You don't need to know how, you just need to know what. In fact there is very little information available with regards to "how" these days. And what is available is outdated and doesn't work. So be a pioneer of your own life and decide what you want. Then commit to it one hundred percent without the need to know how you will get there.

The early explorers did not have a map. They followed their intuition and they followed signs. They paid attention and stayed present. Signs are different than conditions. You can always ask for signs to guide you so you know you are on the right track. Signs appear as support and provide synchronicity and magic. Conditions are what you place on your intentions that keep them from being fully committed.

Remember that self-deprecation is also one of the obstacles of the year and will be manifest by everyone in varying degrees. All the obstacles are nasty, do not serve spirit and will derail your good intentions and commitments faster than anything. So beware, try not to react to others and watch your own tendencies."

Many blessings for your clarity, committment and releasing outworn beliefs this month! Let me know if I can be of assistance to you in this.

Happy February,
Ellen

Happy Valentine's Day - A Self Love Manifesto

I am loving myself today, and I invite you to do the same in your own unique way. Because you've got to "Make your own kind of music, Sing Your Own Special Song" as the Mamas and the Papas sang many years ago.

I Am Loving Myself Today

I am loving myself by making an altar with a mirror on it, that I and others will dance in front of. Below the mirror it says: Dear Ones, Help me Love What I See in this Mirror, and Let It Show.

I am loving myself by chanting and singing full out, even though my new roomate can hear me. I am loving the sound of my free voice ringing out.

I am loving myself by affirming that I am beautiful, unique and deserving of a loving caring partner who I really want to be with, who really wants to be with me, and that a relationship way more fulfilling than any I've ever had, is on its way to me this year.

I am loving myself by freely admitting and embracing my right, desire and ability to make a truly abundant living, that I can no longer accept "just enough to get by" when life's feast is before me.

I am loving myself by letting my voice be heard and the love in my heart shine out, in my spiritual community, "The Celebration" in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and by writing online and sharing my essence in this way.

I am loving and celebrating myself with a wonderful Trager healing session, singing karaoke and dancing on Valentine's Day.

I am loving myself by refusing to feel any kind of self pity even though I am single and 54. Even though I have never been legally married or had children. Even though my last partner died of cancer in 2006.

I am one with the heart of the Goddess, I am maiden, mother and crone, I am love, I am beauty, I am every woman and every woman is me.

I have had my heart broken, and my innocence shattered, but I take my place in the Divine Resurgence of the Divine Feminine TODAY.

Love and Light to all of you, my dear Divine Sisters and Brothers,
thank you for being in my life, and thank you for being.

Ellen
