Solstice Greetings and Abraham Quote!

Happy Solstice to All!  The Luna moths have made their debut appearance, in all their beauty, they landed on each one of us. Scroll down for pictures, aren't they glorious!

Abraham quote for the day: 

Many people focus upon unwanted things, with no deliberate attention to the emotional Guidance within them, and then they try to compensate for their lackful thinking with physical action. And because of the misalignment of Energy, they do not get results from their action, so then they try harder by offering more action, but still things do not improve.

Like the air you breathe, abundance in all things is available to you. Your life will simply be as good as you allow it to be.

Whales, Dolphins and Raindrops Shamanic Journey

  


It had been raining and I was feeling the happy presence of dolphins and whales for several days.  When the strong thunderstorms and strong rain came, the presence of the dolphins and whales felt much stronger, so I took a shamanic journey to further explore the inner messages I was getting.  I met with my guide and we went into a raindrop where I could see whales and dolphins.  The way my guide explained it, we were going into the raindrop to connect with the whales and dolphins, and with their blessings. 

My guide explained to me that each raindrop is a "seed" of love blessings and that the whales and dolphins were sending their love through the raindrops.  I did not get a message of warning or distress that I expected to get from them. 

I concentrated on the dolphins and one came to me and we merged.  I went on a dolphin ride and he/she showed me how they feel when they fill themselves with air.  The consider the air to be blissful and sacred, and they are so thankful/grateful for the gift of air (or life) each time.  Inhaling is a sacred act to them and they feel wonderful when they take in the air, it gives them an incredibly joyous feeling which they carry around in their bodies. 

When this feeling subsides, the rise to the surface to get more.  To the dolphins the air is full of love and is vibrant with life.  They are aware of the pollution, but they were not focusing on it at all.  It's like they weren't tuning into the pollution but just taking in the force of life, and actually feeling and living it.  They were breathing in all of life.

World Day of Prayer for Water - May 18th 3:38 PM EST.

Greetings!

This from the 13 Indigenous Granmothers.  On December 6th, 2009 at the last Council Meeting of the International Council of 13  Indigenous Grandmothers held in Sedona, Arizona, "a message was received to reach out to all belief systems to manifest energy for our Planetary waters on May 18th, 2010."

 

I know many of you would want to know about this very important day.  At 3:38 EST, all over the globe, people will be gathering with the intention to heal the waters of the Earth by praying, doing ceremony, sending love and gratitude for water and meditating, holding the highest vibrational intention for the planetary waters inside them. 

 

Eight specific bodies of water have been identified as being crucial to healing the earth and needing major healing.  They are:  Lake Superior, Lake Tahoe in California, Lake Titicaca in Peru, Lake MacKay in Australia, Lake Chad in Africa, Lake Baikal in Siberia, Lake Issyk-kul in Krygyzstan, and Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

 

Simultaneous ceremonies will be done in each location. Groups will be gathering along the banks of the Hudson, Mississippi, Arkansas, Colorado, Rio Grande, Green, Susape, Hood and Columbia Rivers.  Crystals have been placed in The Ganges in India, The Amazon in South America, The Nile in Africa and The Yangtze in China.

 

Some of us will be going to the ocean to pray and do ceremony.  If you feel inclined to

become part of this day of Global Healing, go to where you feel drawn or to local bodies of damaged water. The forces organizing this day ask that we send prayers and intentions to each of the 8 lakes mentioned above.  Crystals have been placed in them to create a grid so when we add our energies they will become linked together.

Halloween, Samhain . . .

. . . as it's known to our celtic friends (pronounced SOW-ween, SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne, depending on what part of the celtic world you are from), and also known as the Witches New Year (which for some is actually on the winter solstice), and also known as All Saints and All Souls Day, and also known as the Day of the Dead in Central and South America, and many other parts of the world as well.  Samhain is a cross quarter day because it is exactly in between the Autumnal Equinox and the Winter Solstice. 

To the shaman, this is the time of year when the veil between the worlds is thinest, and in cultures all over the world, it is a time of honoring those who were here before us as it is easier for them to be close to us.  It is also a time when spirits with less then good intentions can be more active, as the veil is thin making it easier for them to be here also.  It is a good idea to spend some time honoring those loved ones on the other side, as well as making sure you have your protection around you.  An ancient celtic practice was to party and laugh and get each other in such a high vibration that the troublesome spirits would literally be laughed away, because those with bad intentions can't exist in a vibration of love, light, and mirth.  The fairies, leprechauns and little people abound at this time too, and leaving offerings for them, such as chocolate, cookies, something alcoholic and sweet is much appreciated by them!

Contrary to popular opinion, the actual date of Samhain, which means "End of Summer", is not always on October 31st. The cross quarter day of Samhain occurs when the sun has reached 15 degrees in Scorpio, which for 2009 in the Eastern United States, is November 7th, at 1:42 a.m. Eastern Time. Divination is particularly clearer at this time, and all types of magic work as well.  But celebrate this time when you can as the entire season between October 31st and the Winter Solstice is a very magical and inner time where communicating with your  angels, fairies, loved ones, etc. has more support due to the natural energies that abound.

So, keep your protection around you, do something to honor your loved ones on the other side, and leave some treats for the little people, to insure you'll have friends on the other side, in this world.  Don't forget to laugh, love and let the earth fill you with mirth!

White Light Up the Earth!

This is an older post of mine, that I have reposted because I feel it is even more important today.

In spiritual healing, nothing is more basic than working with love and the white light. The white light and love heals on a very deep level and is a very strong protector as well. Daily visualizations of yourself, your loved ones, your pets, and your home surrounded with and permeated by bright, shining, white light, and love, is the best simple healing/protecting practice you can do.  So, it's no wonder that the angels have requested that before we go to sleep each night, we picture the earth surrounded by a field of bright white light. 

The angels have been telling us this for a very long time and many people have been lead to visualize the earth surrounded and held by white light and love.  One of my favorite earth/white light exercises is recommended by my shamanic teacher Sandra Ingerman in her Transmutation News, which she calls "Creating a Human Web of Light."  Sandra's exercise is done at the full moon and involves getting in touch with your own light and visualizing your light linking up with the light of others all around the planet.  Here is the link to Sandra's page so you can learn this exercise for yourself: Creating a Human Web of Light.

I have been doing the visualization of the earth surrounded in bright white light and love nightly for the past few months. I do this when I get in bed, before going to sleep, as the angels have instructed. I have to tell you, this has been the best sleep aid I've known in my entire life.  So many times, I fall asleep with a book on my belly, or with the light still on, and the next thing I know it's morning!  In the process of visualizing and and feeling the earth surrounded and held in white light and love, you are aligning yourself with the same.  After all, earth is where we live, it's what supports us.

So, start holding the planet in the white light and love of the Creator before going to sleep at night.  If you would like,  you can return to this article and post your comments .  Just click on the "comments" link at the bottom of the article. I would love to hear how many of you are doing this and I would also love you to share your experiences!

Solar Eclipse in Cancer tonight, and What You Truly Desire.

I found this very good astrology blog that explains the energies of the eclipses, and particularly the energies of tonight's solar eclipse which reaches maximum at 10:35 PM EDT (visibile over the Pacific and parts of Asia), the longest one during the present century, in a very positive light.  Check out Allison Rae's "Evolutions" at http://www.starpriestess.blogspot.com.  And remember, our thoughts are amplified during these times of planetary alignments, so tonight, let go of the unwanted and think and feel what you truly desire.  Yeah Baby!!!

Long Distance Healing, it brings me closer!

Since I moved from Connecticut to Vermont I've had many requests for my shamanic work to be done long distance.  What I've found is that my work is much clearer from a distance than when I am in actual contact. I realized that when I'm working this way it is through pure energy.  There is nothing for me to see or sense in this world that could possibly alter my  thinking or perception in relation to any situation where I am asked to help.  I've always preferred to do my angel readings and healings long distance and I've worked on  cases from personal healings, to angel readings, to clearing negative entities from homes,  with much more focus . . . . because of the lack of proximity!  Even some as far away as the  U.K. 

Some practitioners are better at long distance working than others, and of course, one could argue that my move to the mountains and trees, and away from the raging and coarse energies of the coastal cities in Connecticut, helps to keep my own energy centers from being overwhelmed, hence more clarity on my part.  Whatever it may be, my own skills at long distance work are  definitely coming to the fore, and this is a reminder to all of you reading . . . that I'm still here LOLOL!!! 

Moving Again!

Since I've been very good to Bridgeport, and Bridgeport hasn't been very good to me, I am moving.  Except that I don't know to where! I have one cat, he's very clean and very shy, one fish tank, and lots of plants.  Does anyone know of a place from Fairfield to Stamford, CT?  Most of my work is in this area with Westport being right in the center.  Contact me here.

As always, in Love and Light,

Liz
