emerging from our cocoons

The bright moon sheds light on what is hidden from our consciousness. As we re-engage in the world this Scorpio super moon mirrors what we long for - peace, joy, fulfillment. 

This watery full moon brings issues of letting go of what no longer serves life. Other timely cosmic influences open up a powerful portal of compassion. Much needed for all of us affected and at the effect of this pandemic. 

We came into this lifetime with a new vision to forge as the most conscious group of human beings this world has seen in millennia. We are the ones that we have been waiting for.

Ancient Beauty, as it were, shall pour over the land...

Ancient, Aboriginal, Primal Beauty...

Beauty that shall stop the Mind...

Beauty from all Pastime, blended into the NOW...

Beauty of unprecedented splendor shall flow across the land...

Primordial's Beauty has always been with us...

only now are we prepared to see... to BE.

~ Mary Saint-Marie, Galactic Shamanism the Star-Stone Ones

Wesak Festival 2020 & Buddha's Full Moon

Wesak or vesak is celebrated in honor of the Buddha, the Divine Intermediary between Shambhala and the Hierarchy - the Wisdom of God, the Embodiment of Light, and the Indicator of Divine Purpose.

Wesak Day is the most important Buddhist holiday in the Buddhist calendar that celebrates three important events—the birth, full awakening, and the transition—of the Buddha Siddhartha Gautama.

The Buddha returns at this time each year to the Wesak Valley in the Himalayas to bring New Light to the world and help to regenerate the Earth.

The assembled masters, initiates and disciples of the Hierarchy receive Buddha's blessings and are initiated with Shambhala energy to radiate and spread worldwide.

transmutation vs transfiguration

transmutation [noun] - a change or alteration of one element into another; ascending to a higher or more advanced level or state

transfiguration [noun] - a change in appearance or form; a metamorphosis that exalts or glorifies

Johann Adam Schall von Bell (1 May 1591 – 15 August 1666) was a German Jesuit and astronomer, a missionary in China (where he is remembered as "Tang Ruowang") and adviser to the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing dynasty.

Both science and mystical teaching agree that everything is energy. Including the creative approach to art and healing in various cultures and traditions.

Shamans and indigenous practitioners refer to this as shape shifting - the movement of energy at its most basic and intrinsic essence, in our blood and cells.

World religions have recorded some of this as well in their sacred scriptures. Transubstantiation is the belief that the body and blood of Christ is in the blessed wafer in the sacrament of communion.

Many sciences support transformation - genetics, statistics, economics, physics, chemistry, etc. Business, technology and entertainment certainly thrive on the transformative powers of assorted energies.

Sandra Ingerman extensively researched how ancient cultures performed miracles.  Discovering that the common element in spiritual systems of alchemy and healing was this shift in state of consciousness. 

Experiencing life through Spirit involves some shared elements. A shift into a state of knowing that clearly presents the change desired to have it become so. Believing without doubt for the change to occur.

Somehow the sacredness and ceremony in the process of creating magic or miracles have been buried, lost or forgotten.

Is it because we take for granted what we so easily access? Losing our awe. Or have we grown too comfortable in time and with its use? No longer attendant to how special it is. Did we disconnect from our surroundings and true nature? Unrecognized and inured.

Whatever the cause of this apathy it is time to bring back our passion - for life, our life, our world.

sing a new life into being

The New World Order that the conspiracy theorists fear is a shadow of the glorious possibility available to sovereign beings. No longer the vassals of fear, we can bring order to the kingdom and build an intentional society on the love already shining through the cracks of the world of separation. ~ Charles Eisenstein, The Coronation

These past few months have sequestered us in isolation, given us the gift of time, and allowed us to reconsider our priorities. 

By interrupting lives, systems and patterns are revealed, habits and direction can be reviewed - what was consuming compulsion could evolve into conscious choice.

The act of keeping us home offers changes to our habitual thinking, feeling and doing. We can reignite old flames or kindle new fires. As step away from the heat o one another and the rush of spinning wheels.

Climate changes have eased up and nature has reclaimed much lost to human interference and abuse. We can shift and adapt too - flow together and around each other. Merge and mingle as we trade ideas and allow ourselves to be awed and amazed.

Staving off grasping greed and oversized cravings with gentler and more tender love and connection. Compassionate give and take in relationship, family and community. Returning to natural rhythms that are more honoring and respectful.

Returning the sacred in our daily doings with care and ceremony. Burn away pretentions and pomp to reveal our true essence and original being.

As smoke clears, as sludge falls away, what shows up are the mirrors we all are to each other. May we walk in beauty in this sacred way each and every day.

crucified between a rock & a hard place

This week's schizoid weather resembles one of Trump's pandemic rhetorical performances. Where he tries in growing desperation and confusion to cover all his bases, shirk responsibility and lay blame elsewhere.

Just like this Fool on the Hill blustery gales have ravaged fragile blooms off trees and grounded sea craft on our shores. One day we are all bright sunshine and clear blue skies and next we are in the midst of heavy rain and wild thunderstorms.

This Good Friday truly feels like crucifixion weather. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Do what? Don't what?

Wear a face mask or don't? Stay indoors or don't?

Be patient or don't. Don't complain? Stay silent?

As the corona virus mutates into three distinct strains - our only current world traveler and globe trotter has outpaced us all and is wearing us down with each passing day.

I have been reading books about conservation - nature, humans, how we collide and connect. Recently I realized that I was reading them because I wanted one to tell me how to piece back our world and our lives. Before this brink of extinction.

In my dreams, I journey in other dimensions. I dream that my life is still afloat and undecided, that it is still conceivable we will come out okay.

I don’t dream of a time that has never existed, neither do I dream of our recovery. I dream of soaking in bright sunshine. I dream of floating in warm waters. I dream of clean air and a soft sweet breeze.

I wish our shared time will simply go on.

Then I open my eyes and wake to this pain.

I cling to dream time for as long as I can before I forget.

hope for us all

We find ourselves in a metamorphosis of sorts. Every crisis provides the culture for one. A lot of us are feeling isolated, cut off from our loved ones, and terribly uncomfortable with the uncertainty of what is to come.

A darkness of fear and anxiety closes in on us periodically or incessantly. We might be mourning the loss of a job or worse, someone we love. Life as we knew it before this pandemic is over.

We ask the leaders, how long is this going to last? How is the economy going to recover? When will there be a cure? What is the real mortality rate? Why weren’t we better prepared? Why don’t we have more testing available?

And their answer continues to be “We don’t know”. The unknown can be absolutely terrifying. Until we remember that we have never known. ~ Kelly Gores, Director of the HEAL Documentary, Author of the HEAL book

Much of what we believed unshakable givens have all too quickly been blown away like the house of cards they have always been. Many sit at home eager to get back to the lives they lived. It has not sunk in that this is it - our lives have already changed.

Use this time wisely to get to know who you are and what you want. Dig deep and far into every nook and cranny of your interior. Strengthen and fortify your confidence and belief in yourself.

So when the world finally opens up to us once more we are better and can contribute more as that will be sorely needed in this new future unleashed upon our old unwilling selves.

It is a brave new world that will require every ounce of our courage and commitment to live well and responsibly. As we will be held to account for it for sure.

water babies

Watching our little tadpoles back home, I am reminded of my first swimming lesson. I hear them giggling as they gargle the pool water, their happy sounds tickle my heart strings and bring back fond memories.

Surrender isn't always easy, even when it's called for or is our best option. All too often we approach surrender as failure or giving up. When in fact giving up the struggle is how we break free.

When we let go of attachment or resistance then we are released from the burden and baggage of their weight. Forging any ties that bind - ego, fear, greed - into a sacred bond.

There is a good reason humans are hard-wired for anxiety. It has helped to keep us safe from prehistoric encounters as well as fueled us to sprint through supermarkets for toilet paper, Nat Geo’s Amy McKeever writes.

On the latest episode of the Shaman's Cave Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau speak about the multi-layered topic of living a life of integrity and help us to look at areas in our life where we might have stepped out of line.

A big and helpful topic especially for facing challenges in our current lives. Tune in for the added bonus of a guided journey to contact our personal integrity gatekeeper for a transcendental experience in this incredibly supportive community. Perfect timing for this ideal topic now.

involution & evolution

Edgar Cayce correlated the Lord’s Prayer to the seven chakra centers as a way to help open these centers and the endocrine glands that are related to them.

As Cayce correctly stated, our system is activated by anger, fear, mirth, joy, etc. through glandular secretions which flow into the whole system. The endocrine system is thus the link between our emotions and our physical bodies.

It is a circular relationship where our emotions have a powerful physical effect on our body via shifting neurochemical levels. Our neurochemical balance has a powerful effect on our emotions.

Cayce claims an even greater role for the endocrine system. It is not simply the link between body and mind but also the link with the soul, through the chakras.

myth & magic

Spring Equinox arrived today - the return of spring, time of holy equality. The landscape is still winter-rough and wind-blown.

Walk outside and feel the raw possibility. The world is made of stories, and we need to change the narrative. 

The We'Moon option is one we share with you here. Reworking the fairy tales many of us grew up with in our westernized patriarchal world. Restoring ourselves in more natural and holistic practices.

Defending wolves against their hunters - as we learned in the campaign to reintroduce the gray wolf into Yellowstone National Park - lead us to an incredible trophic cascade.

It is time to stop humanity's rape and pillage of Mother Earth. Tearing apart the terrain and obliterating terra firma to build! Build! BUILD!

Greta Thurnberg is our current Goldilocks - a charismatic Swedish environmental activist on climate change who has managed to get world leaders and countries to perk up and pay attention to the message she brings us.

"We can so easily misunderstand one another or get lost in our memories of the past under these mentally foggy conditions, project our discomfort onto the future and get anxious.  But we need to be right here and right now." *Excerpted from Heather Roan Robbins' We'Moon 2020 pg 10 & 2019 pg 16-17

ancestral healing summit 2020

The Shift Network has brought us yet another astounding gathering of world teachers in the recently concluded Ancestral Healing Summit, held online on February 17 to 21, 2020.

Progeny of past generations, we are all influenced and impacted in our present lives and the world we are currently born into. At this summit various speakers from a variety of diverse backgrounds offer alternatives to explore sacred connections with our ancestors. 

Tapping into their wisdom to heal old wounds in the self and our lineage - biological and spiritual. Creating connections that could help cultivate forgiveness and closure. With a loved one who has passed or some long gone ancestors we may never have met. 

Invoking the healing wisdom of our ancestors to provide us with healthier options and processes for healing to occur. In loving support for those we have a positive connection with. In honorable closure that liberates negative inheritance. 

The best take away from the experience is creating a reciprocal circle or cycle of healing support between our past and present. One that can bring about a brighter and better future - for all. Individual, family, community and world wide - we all benefit. 

Healing of our ancestors is healing for ourselves. We are all descendants that originated from one source.

heart centered women

To celebrate Valentine's Day last year East West Women honored all the courageous women who carved out a place for us here today. 

Since this year and decade are dedicated to all women of substance we introduce you today to a special woman we have been paying attention to for quite a few years - Esther Hicks. 

Author and producer of famed Abraham-Hicks teachings - the prime source material of Law of Attraction.

We thought it ideal to celebrate the day's heart centered love with their Getting into the Vortex card deck. A special deck of sixty relationship cards beautifully illustrated by Christiane Beauregard. 

Here is card number 14 - Happy Valentine's Day folks!
