Earth Spirit adventures in Shelburne

I had a wonderful meditation this morning. It’s a really busy week getting ready for the Earth Spirit Conference, and I still woke up with renewed determination to take time for yoga, chi machine, and meditating. This morning I combined the meditation with my energy batteries. Wow, what a fantastic experience.


I was in an ok space to start with, but with the first battery, my space changed. For the better. I first used the Clearing Blend battery. I shook it to activate it, then held it in my left hand—the receiving hand. The energy was a bright rush of Clearing power up my arm, to my heart chakra. I filled up my heart chakra with the next couple of breaths, afterwards filling up my whole body with the energy. I visualized it as particles of light, traveling through every part of my body and clearing energy, transmuting everything that wasn’t mine or of benefit to me, into light. It was glorious! This battery is a combination of Clearing, Protection and Joy (Angelic energy essences); Clear Quartz and Golden Topaz (from my line of crystal essences), and Spirit (the fifth Elemental energy). After a few breaths I put it on my heart chakra and worked it from there; it feels different, it “plugs in” faster that way. When I first pick up something, I hold it in the left hand, because it’s really easy to sense the quality and character of the energy as it moves up your arm. When I just want to receive it, to utilize it, I hold it on the heart chakra, and take it in. Direct download.


Then I went to the Anti-Stress Battery. Goddess, I love that one. It’s extraordinary—13 essences combine to make this standard battery, and it is phenomenal. The Clearing, Peace and Joy just mellow and brighten my aura right up. The Love, Relax & Release, Water, Rose Quartz and Emerald energies act as a soothing balm to the Heart chakra, as well as help relieve physical tension. I draw them in with my in-breath, and they just filled me up with their beautiful radiance in a fulfilling, steady shine. The Psychic Vision, Air and Green Calcite energies act to calm, embrace and balance on the mental plane, I felt my mind just smoothing out. The wrinkles of worry vanished. The Earth energy grounded it all, gave it a foundation to stand on, to support me from.



Next, I dabbled with the Meditation Battery on my upper 2 chakras. I did the 7 Chakra Spiral Meditation with the Goddess Support Battery. And finally ended up with the Abundance battery. As I held it on my heart chakra, I felt the pull of the Abundance frequency as it penetrated to my core, settled there in my matrix, and then put things right, got me all sorted out and in order. It’s an interesting sensation—I’m reminded of J.K. Rowling’s description when Harry disapparates for the first time, as a “tugging” in his gut. As it worked its way through my layers, sorting and organizing, putting me back together, I felt the alignment it created out of order, alignment which then allows a clear signal to be broadcast, to then draw in what is desired.


Alignment is something Abraham talks a lot about, and as I’ve been listening to the words of Abraham on their CDs, I’ve been paying more attention to how I align my energy. It’s been really fun, because I’ve been having some very profound experiences in terms of awareness expanding and how deep I am going in meditation—sometimes I come out the other side of me into the Universe, and that’s very cool.



At the last, I sat with the Goddess Support battery again, and held it right against my SuperPower wand. It’s a crystal wand I made years ago, about 2’ long is the copper tube, with a cap at one end, and a large clear quartz crystal at the other. It’s wrapped in beautiful purple suede. I made this in the mid-80s. If anyone reading this was at the Harmonic Convergence event at Shelburne Farms in ’87, that was the wand that was passed through the hands of 200 people in the big ceremony of the weekend. (!) So I held this wand with the Goddess Support battery and then activated it with my tuning fork, directing the energy out to the planetary grid. After a bit I sent it to the Earth Clock, to plug in there, and to a dear friend who is helping transport a friend from the hospital today. I sent it around the planet via the grid, asking that all who could benefit from this energy would receive it. There is much strife going on these days on Planet Earth, both seen and unseen. It feels like Gaia is shrugging her shoulders, humans and their constructs no more than flakes of dandruff, falling off, tumbling about, and it feels good to send good energy, higher frequencies, out there. I can’t remove the trauma from Japan, but perhaps I can lighten the energy a bit. I can’t vanquish all the weapons in all the hot zones but a little Love goes a long way.



So I prepare for the Earth Spirit Conference this weekend, where I’ll do my part to spread good energy out to the world through my products and crystals, and I’ll be ecstatic because I’m with other folks who do the same thing in their own way; I revel in this event which is created to give expression to love, to peace, to divine purpose, to exploring the mysteries of life and how we can be the change we see we need in the world. And I love that it’s so much more powerful focusing energy for Good when 150 people are doing it together.

How will you align your energy this week?

Namaste.

Healing Planetary Trauma Today ...


Wow, so much going on in the world.

The events in Japan, and the aftermath, are awe-full to behold. For a being, and a body, the size of Gaia’s, it’s just a little shake, but look at how that translates in human terms. It’s mind-boggling to even think about, but seeing the TV footage really brings it home.


This morning a friend came over and we did a meditation for healing for Japan. I assigned two gorgeous big clear quartz crystals to the job. Clara held one and I held the other. First we sprayed the Clearing essence on them, to clear the crystals, and then we focused the Clearing energy over the country of Japan. I learned long ago that in working with traumatic events, you first need to remove the energy of the trauma, otherwise there’s nowhere for the healing energy to go. And that's where the Clearing energy comes in beautifully.


So we sent the Clearing energy over the whole country of Japan, but concentrated in the northeast, where the damage is heaviest. As soon as we tuned in, we both noticed the huge flow of energy—prayers, fervent wishes and good energy—going there from everywhere. It was a huge river of energy, beautiful and strong. The energy of the trauma was thick and dark and dense in my mind’s eye over that part of Japan. I visualized the Clearing energy as vortices spinning counterclockwise, to penetrate into the density, to clear away that energy of pain, anguish, fear and grief. We called in our angelic and archangelic Friends and loved ones in Spirit to join us, and it was obvious when they instantaneously did. Using the crystal in my hands to focus the energy, I sent it with Love, asking that it be directed to where it needed to go. We also asked that it be received in the same intention as it was offered, that all beings and Gaia herself receive the energy of Clearing for its most optimum outcome. After a few minutes I realized it was time to pull out the energy being exuded now, spinning the vortices clockwise, so the energy of the trauma could be released, carried on the flow of the Clearing that had been received. At some point I felt a shift, and it all felt quite a bit lighter.

Right about then the phone rang, and I answered it, after seeing who the caller was. It was just perfect—the call lasted just long enough that when I disconnected and tuned back in, we both realized that the Clearing energy had had a few minutes more to keep working, processing the energy of the trauma. That’s when I became aware that the nature spirits overseeing those regions were taking this energy and focusing it to where it was most needed. It almost seemed like we were sending in this beam of light to a prism, which was refracting it into different wavelengths and directing it onward to the best place. In fact, Clara echoed that vision a few minutes later. “I see a crystal over the whole place,” she said, “And it’s receiving this whole stream of energy and splitting it up, sending it to the different places it’s needed.”

We then switched to the Healing frequency, spraying that essence on ourselves and the crystals, and again directing it to Japan. I noticed that the Healing was being accepted, drawn in nicely. We programmed these crystals to keep broadcasting these frequencies, and asked our Spirit friends to keep up the effort, guiding these energies for the highest benefit of Japan’s land, people, flora and fauna.


Then we used two different crystals and went to work on the turmoil in the Middle East. It was immediately obvious that here was hate and rage, rather than the pain and grief and overwhelm that characterized the Japanese situation. Clara found a hard crusty shell of energy over the Middle East which was hard to penetrate. “I’m just holding the space for Clearing,” she said. I was seeing something similar, but I was also seeing these little threads, roots, in the density and darkness that extended back aeons in time to the origins of these conflicts.


I tried contacting the nature spirits ruling the regions there, and found some of them distorted energetically by the will of the cultures, the peoples and their lands, that they oversee. Free Will is in blatant display here, but in a context of (to borrow again from the Abraham material) going upstream, to hate and struggle, and the corresponding pushing against. I put forth the intent that everyone there, and indeed all world leaders, relax, open their hearts, and go with the flow downstream to Love and All That Is. That felt very appropriate and effective. Clara and I programmed these crystals for that purpose, and they will all remain so for the time being, holding and broadcasting our intent, which of course is subject to the Divine Plan.


We talked about watching our own thought processes, and Clara offered a beautiful insight: “When we open our hearts, we’ll open for them as well; when we choose to flow Downstream, we’ll also flow for them; when we choose Love, we’ll choose it for them, too.” We are our brothers’ keeper, face it. Only one of us here. So, join us in choosing Love, won’t you?

{written Wednesday morning, 2 days ago}

This morning I finally had a chance to sit, be still, and focus. I need to take some time to tune in and prepare for tonight’s Cosmic Playdate. I’m so excited to be doing this again. Last year it was called Crystal Healing Meditations. I had stopped for the summer, and never started up in the fall again after getting taking ill. I’m back, I’m ready, and it’s time for it. The name Cosmic Playdate is much more apt. We are going to have fun tonight!


So I sat down on the bed with my basket of essences, took a couple of deep breaths, and sprayed 3rd Eye Clearing essence on my 3rd eye. It’s just like putting up a windowshade and letting the light flood in. Instant illumination. I sprayed Psychic Vision on my crown chakra, and sat with those two for a while. I’ve been paying more attention lately to how I’m running my energy, and I usually start any meditative or tuning in process with these two essences to focus my frequencies. Is it powerful—my Psychic Development kit.


I’ve been listening to Abraham (Abraham-Hicks.com) lately, which has also helped me decide more clearly how to focus my energy. Abraham makes it so simple. And yes, I’ve been listening to Abraham for almost 20 years (but not lately), and it’s still new, it’s still fresh and it still hits home. Timeless wisdom there … Anyway, Abraham asks, “why are you paddling upstream?” So I’ve been looking at my life, asking that of myself. I’ve put a stop, over the years, to lots of that upstream nonsense. Being a legal secretary, for instance. That was soooo swimming upstream for me, and I did it for years. So what’s downstream, for me, I’ve been asking. And this is it. Teaching and learning, learning and teaching, and my forte, my passion, is the area of—well, there’re many words for it—metaphysics, new thought, spirituality, Higher Consciousness, etc. That’s why I’m so excited about tonight, starting up again my weekly Cosmic Playdates.


The Psychic Vision energy opened up my crown chakra right away, I feel the “pull” as it starts energizing my Rainbow Bridge (our connection to Higher Self). Next I sprayed Joy up over my head to let it float down, lightening and brightening my aura from the outside in, because that’s how it works. I still feel it out there. Then I sprayed Abundance on my Crown, 3rd Eye, and Heart chakras, and under the tongue. Abundance energy is very centering; it penetrates to the matrix level of your being, and puts everything back in order, realigning and re-integrating before moving to the next layer out to do the same thing. I like doing it after I’ve sprayed a few others, because then they act as “building blocks” of new, good energy for the Abundance to use in the rebuilding, deep in our energetic foundation.


By this time I was so charged, so energized, it was amazing. I decided to use this wonderful state of being I was in productively, so I sat on the other side of the bed, near my little altar. It happens to be near the Prosperity corner of the room, and the house. I gathered all the crystals that were on the altar and cleared them. Then I held them by twos and charged them up with this wonderful combination of frequencies I was resonating with. Wow. Then I focused even more on aligning with the Stream that Abraham talks about, and I can literally feel myself swept away by the current of my Stream, it’s so fast.


Abraham talks about that, too, on the CDs I’ve been listening to lately. If we’ve built up a lot of vibrational escrow with our focus on what we want, the good stuff, then once we actually get out of our own way and become a vibrational match to it, bingo! There we are, in the stream! But, it’s going to be really fast, so hang on, because we’ve energized it so much. That’s what I’m feeling, that’s where I’m at right now. Powerfully aligned with the stream, the Life Stream, the Stream of wellness and thriving and relentless joy and bliss and overflowing abundance, and it is fast.


I decided to point this wonderful energy in the direction of my business for a few minutes, and within 45 seconds I’d come up with a new, amazing product that I want to bring to market. Nothing like I’ve got now—It’s a high-end spiritual tool that with the energies of the angels, the elements, beautiful stones and crystals will help focus your intent, powerfully, and will assist in manifestation and your creative process. Wow.


I’ve been having fun with my focusing lately—I manifested a brand-new car for myself 11 days ago, and that was an astonishing process. I may tell you that story in another post. I have manifested some great things in my life this year already, and the journey keeps getting better. If you’re around, come to my Cosmic Playdate some Wednesday night, you’ll have fun focusing your energy with me, too.

Icefishing (Really! I've actually done it!)


Today I popped into a little market for a cup of coffee, and was rather amazed to see they had a cash-container/sign-up box for the contest for guessing the correct date for the Ice Melt on Joe’s Pond. I thought about doing it. I’ve gone by there enough times that I’m intrigued by the whole thing. It fascinates me, actually. And it got me thinking about ice on the various lakes around here, and how long it lasts…
I went for a splendid walk at Shelburne Bay recently. The path was a little snowy & icy, but walkable. It was a beautiful day, crisp and cold, and the light filtered down through the layer of cloudcover, becoming translucent and silvery in its passage. I kept looking east, to my right as I progressed along the path, gazing out at the ice-covered bay. There were no ice shanties out there. I didn’t see any ice fishermen either. Oh, wait. What’s that? I watched a few moments, and yes, there was a lone ice fisherman out there. Not in a shack, just out there, by himself, hanging out. It was starting to snow, so the visibility was getting bad, but I could see him. I’m assuming it was a him. None of my women friends icefish.
Anyway, I kept walking and soon lost sight of him, but it brought to mind a memory of the one and only time I’ve gone ice fishing in the last 40 years.
It was back in the day when I was still married to the wasband. Our son was still a wee babe, we were at his parents’ house for Christmas, visiting them in Iowa. Grandpa mentioned going ice fishing, so we put the baby down for his nap and with Grandma home to watch him, off we went, to one of the farm ponds nearby.
Grandpa did it in style—he had a fancy new ice fishing shanty that his kids had gotten him for Christmas. They had it set up in good time, and there we were, the three of us (him; his eldest son, my then-husband; and myself), hunkered down inside it, a line each in three holes we drilled through the ice, hoping for a bite. I might add at this juncture that fishing in itself has never been a draw for me—something about dead amphibians really hits me the wrong way. But I sat there in good faith and good feeling, enjoying the novelty of the experience.
After about 20 minutes of sitting, nothing was happening. We were getting cold, even in the shanty, but we didn’t want to go back empty-handed. I had not revealed the true extent of my weirdness to my in-laws, and was a bit reluctant to do so, but something needed to happen. So, I opened my mouth. “OK, guys, we need to start visualizing here. If we want to go home with fish, we need to start concentrating. C’mon, see those cute little fish biting these lines, lots of them, coming right to us.” The wasband was mildly receptive to this plea, but Grandpa snorted his disbelief. I focused then on my husband, “OK, honey, just visualize the fish flocking to our lines, keep holding that vision.”
Within a couple of minutes, I felt something, and pulled a fish out of the hole! Another twenty minutes of sitting there, and I ended up with about a dozen fish, my husband three or four, but poor Grandpa had none. Which was odd on the face of it, seeing as the holes were mere inches apart! Those fish were delicious, too, when we sat down to eat 45 minutes later, fried and tasty as can be. The power of visualization was once again put to good use.


That's my fish story, and I'm stickin' to it!
