Using your pain to help othersPosted by Willow RainePain is a fact of being and one that permeates all of our lives to some degree. Since

he hurt we feel may be a part of the experiences that have touched us most deeply, we a

often loathe to let it go. It is frequently easier to keep our pain at our sides, where it actsa shield that shelters us from others and gives us an identity-that of victim-from which an draw bitter strength. However, pain's universality can also empower us to use our ho help others heal. Since no pain is any greater or more profound than any other, what

you feel can give you the ability to help bring about the recovery of individuals whosehurts are both similar to and vastly different from your own. You can channel your painnto transformative and healing love that aids you in helping individuals on a one-to-on

basis and spreading a tide of curative energy throughout the world.

The capacity to heal others evolves naturally within those who are ready to disassociatehemselves from their identity as victims. In fact, the simple decision to put aside the pa

we have carried is what grants us the strength to redeem that pain through service. Therare many ways to use the hurt you feel to help others. Your pain gives you a uniquensight into the minds of people who have experienced trauma and heartache. You can

draw from the wellspring of strength that allowed you to emerge on the other side of apainful experience and pass that strength to individuals still suffering from their wounYou may be able to council individuals in need by showing them the coping methods thhave helped you survive or simply by offering sympathy. A kinship can develop that

allows you to relate more closely with those you are trying to aid and comfort..

Helping others can be a restorative experience that makes your own heart grow strongern channeling your pain into compassionate service and watching others successfullyecover, you may feel a sense of euphoria that leads to increased feelings of self-worth a

optimism. Your courageous decision to reach out to others can be the best way to declaro yourself and the world that your pain didn't defeat you, and in fact it helped you hea

Being a light worker after 2012Posted by Sunshine-ChayennaThe big change, many of the lightworkers were waiting on it for many years. Many boo

and articles were writtenabout it. And then the moment is there 12-12-2012, 21-12-2012.You just wake up the other day, and just see that nothing really changed. You still mustpay your bills, your environment still looks the same. People around you play still theredrama games. There is still war into the world, there is still hunger, pain, sorrow. Manof the lightworkers were very disappointed after 21-12-2012, and in that energy we startour new world. A new world of emptiness. Many have give up the hope and trust into tnew world, many hold on into the old world because they are afraid of the emptiness ofhe new world.

With their own fear they build new walls around them selves and the old world and falback into the drama games.

Yes but.. Nothingis working anymore on the way I know and understand. And yes ths oh so true. Into the new world our old ways of healing dont work anymore, becausento the new world we live behind duality. The new world is not a world of healing, bu

world of creation. In the new world we dont play our drama games anymore, so there ino need for healing. Only when we make connection with people into the old world, wan use our abilities for healing.

That is also the reason that many lightworkers stay stuck into the old world. They dontwant to give up the drama games, they dont want give up their emotions, they dont wao give up themselves and become nothing. They have give up the trust and faith intoheir true self. They blame their selves and guides that they lie to them about the new

world. But who is really telling lies to them selves.

am a lightworker. I felt into the emptiness 3 years ago, so long before the date of 2012.From that moment I understand that the change of 2012 not happened into 1 day, buthappens into our own inner time. Many things changed in my life the last 3 years. Idivorced, I married again with the same men, and on 12-12-2012 we let go all we know awhat we had into the Netherlands and moves to Curacao. Here I started to created newhings with amigurumi crochet. In all the months when I moved to my inner world ther

was still the emptiness. But since the last week its changing again. I notice again after 3years of waiting my inner Indian guide, and my inner twin.And with that I know that only into the emptiness we can created our real new world. Sasked to all the light workers around the world. Will you jump with me into theemptiness?. Can you let go the drama games, and the images of who you think you are?Can you stop feeding the old world, and start to crated with me a real new world.

Trying to define yourself?Posted by Shadow

know that many want to know who they are and what they are.. They know they are nomfortable or feel a relation of the Norm religious paradigm and for long time many ju

dont know what they believe and in this effect who they think they are. some feel theymay be of a path that too many think is negative as with Pagan and Wiccan so they areeary to study and read to find more out about it.They just are not really sure but want t

know and in this helps give them guidance in their life of understanding what they feel

t is hard to get many here in first place to see for themselves due to peer pressure ofriticism or being mocked. and this could lead into confidence and needing to stand up

yourself and make your place on this Earth no matter what another believes..isunfortunate many been mislead all their life and is hard for them to steer away.. speacia

he very ones who criticize are not suppose to judge in first place.But for a new memberwho is unsure and feels lost.. First thing I can tell you.As long as your intent is good andyou are trying to progress in life you have guardians watching over you.. you may notknow who they are but they are.. and for some there are more then you know with you.

doesnt take a title to be watched over or cared for by Guides or your higher source.

have known many to come and find they have Native aspect but also have pagan /Wiccan interest and sometimes that may confuse..but if you think of the basis and

undamentals in the beliefs of these paths you will find many coincide with each other.Have to consider Pagan is a Celtic name European , Native American is American ..its junames givin due to different cultures. started out different but have much of the sameprinciples many carried on pre dating anything we know as we find there were peoplehere 15.000 years ago in America. and bring their ideas here long ago.. different namegivin.

Best thing to do is just look for info that attracts your attention and study it.you are not committed or pressured to be one or the other ..as long as you try and read it

will come to you.. some are natural Witches and dont even know it.. it is the basis ofnature of human kind ..something you cant convince the comformed orthodox beliefs

they seem to take priorty in being the prime religion..sounds ego ish to me..

and never be afraid to ask questions..we do not believe in dumb questions..and take your time.Much PeaceShadow

Escaping the Vacum of lifePosted by ShadowEvery once in awhile you have to take a left turn from your normal routine,

many have busy schedules and have it all writ out minute by minute and do thisveryday..not realizing they are turning themselves into robots. somehow or someway

hange a couple of your events of the day every other day. write down your main priorithat cant be avoided as with kids , breakfast , ready for school..and when they comehome..or appointments. shopping. cleaning. child sports, on n on have to say many havehectic schedule and have crowded it with not so necessary event..

ome feel they have to fill every moment of their schedule.dding in extra and eventually overwhelming themselves.

Life has gotten to a point that we seem to be expected to keep up with hyper activechedule. and its doing allot of humans in from this they dont even realize they are coug

up in it.. they think they are going with the flow of things..but the flow many follow is not normal .

We live in a commercialized society and competitive and have to feel compelled to keepup or we fall behind ..this is not true. Yes we want to do our best to our best ability butwhy over whelm yourself when it can be avoided ..who cares what another might say. Ifyour not doing as much as they..they themselves dont realize they have fell in to that tra

s well.. I call it conformed way of life. people are living like robots.nd only you can minimize and put a stop to it.. or slow it down atleast.. you will get oldast if it continues. It's not good on the body or the mind and will reflect on rest of famiventually..more you do the more your kids will be expected to do as they get older andechnology and commercialism ramps up..

worked with a printing company one time stacking mags that came from a machinehat was ran by turbines with mags coming thru machine at 60 miles an hour..8 to 12 houtraight.. and this was over 20 years ago.. its almost expected now and is no way humans

were made for that.. didnt take me 11 months and I got out of that job..have had an issue with watching people and after doing research on transhumanism a

year ago..I came to realize its happening now and many dont even realize it..

Transhumanism is where they try to incorporate half human half robot.hat is the planned agenda by the corporate agenda for production and money making

purposes .. just be mindful of that.. if you begin to feel smothered ..you know you have low down ..ome events can be avoided and some will just have to understand..

Much PeaceShadow

Coincidences are Spiritual sign posts!Posted by Willow RaineMost of us go through life a little afraid, a little nervous, a little excited. We are

ike children playing hide and seek, wanting to be found, yet hoping we wont be, bitinour nails with anticipation. We worry when opportunity approaches a little too closely,

nd hide deeper in the shadows when fear overcomes us. This is no way to go throughife. People who understand the true nature of reality, those whom some traditions callnlightened, lose all sense of fear or concern. All worry disappears. Once you understanhe way life really worksthe flow of energy, information, and intelligence that directsvery momentthen you begin to see the amazing potential in that moment. Mundanehings just dont bother you anymore. You become lighthearted and full of joy. You also

begin to encounter more and more coincidences in your life.

When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, youonnect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This is when the magic begin

This is a state I call synchrodestiny, in which it becomes possible to achieve thepontaneous fulfillment of our every desire. Synchrodestiny requires gaining access to a

place deep within yourself, while at the same time awakening to the intricate dance ofoincidences out in the physical world.

When a coincidence arises, dont ignore it. Ask yourself, What is the message here? Wha

s the significance of this? You dont need to go digging for the answers. Ask the questind the answers will emerge. They may arrive as a sudden insight, a spontaneous creatixperience, or they may be something very different. Perhaps you will meet a person whs somehow related to the coincidence that occurred. An encounter, a relationship, ahance meeting, a situation, a circumstance will immediately give you a clue to its

meaning. Oh, so thats what it was all about!

The key is to pay attention and inquire.

Another thing you can do to nurture coincidence is to keep a diary or journal ofoincidences in your life. After years of note-taking, I classify coincidences as tiny,

medium, whoppers, and double-whoppers. You can do this in any way that is easy foryou. For some people, it is easiest to maintain a daily journal and underline or highlighwords or phrases or names of things that show up as coincidences. Other people keep apecial coincidence diary. They start a new page for each significant coincidence, then jo

down any other connections to that event on its page.


10/58

For people who want to delve deeply into coincidence, one of the processes I recommens recapitulation. This is a way of putting yourself in the position of observer of your lifnd of your dreams, so that connections and themes and images and coincidences becomlearer. Because our connection to the universal soul is much more obvious when we are

dreaming, this process allows you to access a whole new level of coincidences.

When you go to bed at night, before you fall asleep, sit up for a few minutes and imaginhat you are witnessing on the screen of your consciousness everything that happened

during the day. See your day as a movie. Watch yourself waking up in the morning,brushing your teeth, having breakfast, driving to work, conducting your business, comihome, eating dinnereverything in your day right up to bedtime. There is no need to

nalyze what you see, or evaluate, or judge... just watch the movie. See it all. You mayven notice things that did not strike you as important at the time. You may notice that tolor of the hair of the woman behind the drugstore counter was the same as your

mothers when you were young. Or you might pay special attention to a little child whowas crying as his mother was dragging him down a supermarket aisle. Its amazing the

hings that show up in the movie of your day that you may not have consciously notedduring the day itself.

As you watch your day go by in the movie, take this opportunity to view yourselfobjectively. You may find yourself doing something that youre particularly proud of, oimes you may notice yourself doing things that are embarrassing. Again, the goal is novaluate, but to get little insights into the protagonists behaviorthis character that is

your self.

When the recapitulation is overwhich can take as little as five minutes or as long as ahalf hoursay to yourself, Everything that Ive witnessed, this movie of a day in my lis now safely stored away. I can summon those images on the screen of my consciousne

but as soon as I let them go, they disappear. The movie is over. Then, as you go to sleepay to yourself, Just as I now recapitulated the day, I am giving instructions to my soul

my spirit, my subconscious to witness my dreams. Initially you may not notice much ohange. But if you practice this every night for a few weeks, you will start to have a verylear experience that the dream is the scenery, and you are the person watching it all.

When you wake up in the morning, recapitulate the night, just as you recapitulated the

day at night.

Once you are able to recall the movie of your dreams, write down some of the morememorable scenes. Include them in your journal. Make a special note of coincidences.Nonlocal intelligence [literally "without location," the spiritual domain, the field ofpotential] provides clues in our sleep just as it does in our waking hours.What starts to happen, then, is that gradually we see correlations, images that repeathemselves both in dreams and in everyday reality. More coincidences provide more cluo guide our behavior. We start to enjoy more opportunities. We have more good luck.

These clues point out the direction to take our lives.


11/58

Through this process of recapitulation we see recurring patterns and we start to unravelifes mystery.

This process is especially helpful for departing from destructive habits. Life has certainhemes that it plays out. Sometimes those themes operate to our advantage. Sometimeshey work against us, especially if we repeat the same patterns or themes, over and over

hoping to get a different result. For example, many people who get divorced fall in love

gain, but they end up in exactly the same kind of relationship they were in before. Theepeat the same trauma, relive the same anguish, and then they say, Why does this keehappening to me? The process of recapitulation can help us witness these patterns, andonce we discern them, we can make more conscious choices. Journaling isnt absolutelynecessary, but it helps bring insights and coincidences to the surface.So remain sensitive, observe coincidences during both your daytime living and yournighttime dreaming, and pay special attention to anything that breaks the probability

mplitudethe statistical likelihood of a space-time event. We all need to plan things toome extent, to make assumptions about tomorrow even though we actually dont know

whats going to happen. Anything that upsets our plans, anything that takes us off therajectory we think we are on, can provide a major insight. Even the absence of events thyou expect can be clues to the intent of the universe. People who have a hard time gettinout of bed in the morning to go to a job they hate, who find it difficult to become engagn their professional activities, who feel emotionally dead after a day at the office, neeo pay attention to those feelings. These are important signals that there must be a way t

get more fulfillment out of life. Perhaps a miracle lies in the wings. Youll never knowunless you form an intention, become sensitive to the clues from the universe, follow thhain of coincidence, and help create the destiny you most desire.

Of course, life can be difficult, and we each have daily chores, responsibilities, andobligations that can become overwhelming. Coincidences may come flying at you from directions, or they may seem to dry up entirely. How do you find your way in such aomplex world? Take five minutes every day and just sit in silence. In that time, put the

questions to your attention and heart: Who am I? What do I want for my life? What do want from my life today? Then let go, and let your stream of consciousness, your quietnner voice, supply the answers. Then, after five minutes, write them down. Do this eve

day and youll be surprised at how situations, circumstances, events, and people willorchestrate themselves around the answers. This is the beginning of synchrodestiny.

For some people, answering those questions for the first time can be difficult. Many of ure not used to thinking in terms of our own wants and needs, and if we do, we certainl

dont expect to fulfill them. If you havent defined your lifes goal for yourself, what doyou do then? It would be helpful if the universe would give us one big clue, or a giantompass, if you will, pointing to the direction we should be taking. In fact, the compasshere. To find it, you need only look inside yourself to discover your souls purest desirts dream for your life.

Life is beautiful

Posted by bunnyThis morning i decide to go to the market to buy stuff, i rode on the bus and then this gu

with a large bible clutched under his arm sit beside me, i notice the glaze look on his eynd the friendly smile, i smile also , and wondering whats his opening line would be. th

he ask me with a serious voice, that if i die right now where will i go. , i answer in heavesmile and held my hand to him and said im a pagan," oh ....that "he muttered, swallow

hard, hes face likened that one whose mother had just pass away,with just one wordpagan this man world has changed, "then you are not a christian" he said with very sadvoice.,

hen i begun to share my belief to this man, but he just sit there like a brick wall no

xpression from his face not even a smile, so i decide to do what one does to a brick walavoid it, and step out the bus. i also admire this guys, like him, their couraged to talk

otal strangers, their strenght and faith, but my admiration never makes me want to swwith them in the same pool.

remember knocking on my new neighbors to give them fruits, piece of chocolate or evookies. No preaching, no testimonies, just a simple smile , sometimes i just greet them

happy morning and hop away, just a small act of kindness.

nd hoping someday they may want to talk to me and id be there to listen,

nd perhaps later I will be able to share my faith to them

nd someday they will listen.....

The woman without a facePosted by bunnycried a silent tear every night;

t hurt to think that I had been betrayed;

By a heartless flesh a loving soul once made.

But the anger and frustration I felt before,

s now released so that you cant hurt me no more,

ts a pity that you continued to try, but I refused to die, so instead of asking why,

prayed for you and demanded back my life!

You say youll never feel guilt and that youll never get caught in your chase,

But somehow you didnt win this one, somehow you lost the race

Oh No, its so far from being over, for the game has just begun,

And you havent won;

Sure you sit there with that devilish smirk on your face;

Such a disgrace to the human race

s that while you may rejoice in my misery, it doesnt bother me,

Cause NOW Im FREE, and full of energy

And enough strength to reclaim the power I once loss ~ Yeah, now Im boss

am here to tell women just like me,

To look at me and NEVER forget my story.


15/58

Unlike the stories you read in a book, PLEASE take a good look!

For this is what it took for ME to see,

But dont wait until its too late for you.

Take action NOW and let the story end with mine,

Cause if you dont its just a matter of time,

Before those signs you witness becomes MORE than just signs.

Let my lesson be a lesson for all of you,

And lets erase my name as "the woman without a face,"

nstead, take the strength I hold to keep yourselves alive,

And let me be remembered as "the woman who survived.

water and the magical mermaidPosted by melissa valerie

t is an element we are all familiar with, yet some of us dont really explore its fullMagickal potential. Water takes up 55% 78% of our human bodies, and 71% of the Ears made up of Water. 97% of the Earths Water is found in our Oceans of which 98% is

yet unexplored.

The Element of Water, linked to the cardinal direction of the West, is one that Witches &other Pagans use for Rituals and Spells linked to our emotions, our physical health,healing (of mind, body AND spirit), cleansing & blessings.

Water is used to protect, to charge & to remove negative energies.

We may use Moonwater or Blessed Water, Sun Water or Crystal Waters.

We may even visit a Sacred Spring or Waterfall such as Chalice Well (Glastonbury) andNectans Glen (Tintagel, Cornwall).

Some of us will collect Sea water when we visit the Beach, or Rain water from ourGardens.

Each of the Elements has their own Spirit energy, or Elemental, that we as Witches &Pagans can connect to and form a bond with.

Earth has the Gnomes, the Earth loving Fae beings who reside in the muddy soil & greebrush.Air has the Sylphs, winged beings akin to Faeries who can be found in the spring breezor autumn winds.

Fire has the Salamanders, Lizard-like Dragons of Fire who dance in the candle flame oroar in the centre of the BaleFire

We ourselves are born from the waters of our Mothers womb, and our first breaths thenre taken underwater. With so much of our own bodies made up of this element, and fo

women our own inner tides during our menstrual flow, it would seem that the element Water is a large part of our very being


18/58

Water has the Undines, the Water Nymphs or Water Spirits.Mermaids are Undines that we all know and recognize from Myth & Legend.

Whether you Believe that Mermaids are real, the hidden guardians of the Oceans depthor that they are the etheric spiritual nymphs of Water the elemental guides of this

motional element. or if you think that they are in fact the wishful thoughts of thehuman race of many cultures over hundreds of years Mermaids can still be connected

nd called upon in our Water Magick to help us to bond with this element, to understants properties, and to boost the Magickal energy that is provided us with.

You might make a Water Altar, decorated with seashells, Mermaid statues, Sand & oceaworn stones. You might keep glass spell bottles of Water from sacred springs, waterfalls

nd oceans on your Altar or for use in your Magick. You might keep a Travel Ocean Altor use when you visit the Beach.

You might call on the Mermaids during an Immrama soul journey meditation undernea

he waves, or connect with your Inner Mermaid during a Witchy Bath filled with Seashend foam

And next time youre by the Ocean, call out to the Water Elementals, the Undines & theMerfolk and see what wonders they can show you.

Witches three-fold-lawPosted by melissa valeries witches the Goddess charges us to exercise great care in all that we, do and say andven think. The Threefold Law takes the notion that "what we reap, we will sow", a few

teps further..in fact, THREE steps further. For what we do "for good or for ill, shall beeturned to us threefold." In light of this fact, Witches are loath to cause any harm,

THREE-FOLD LAW OF RETURN". Basically, this is the natural law of "cause and effect

When we come to really understand the Three-Fold Law and it's ramifications, it alsoerves as a source of blessing. Witches seek to heal and to help all of Life, and when were working for "the good of all", it is natural that the "good" will come to us also.

The word "just" is defined as" that which is merited or deserved." With that definition i

mind, you can see why Witches believe in the exercise of "justice" over "revenge". We arssured that what is merited by a persons actions will come to pass. We need only to askhe God and Goddess for "justice to be done". Since this is in line with natural laws andhe promises of the Ancient Ones, we can rest in the knowledge that we are asking in aorrect manner for the situation to be taken care of. Then we can release it to them to

handle and go about our business. It is difficult sometimes, especially when our lovedones have been hurt, to follow the principles outlined here...VERY difficult. Never theess, that is what we are instructed to do. It is a matter of trust...trust that the God and th

Goddess will take care of it...trust that the Universal Laws apply to everyone

qually...trust in the Three-Fold Law...and trust in yourself as a Witch, strong in yourbeliefs.

"The Great Mother and Father would not have their children suffer the indignities ofoppressors for their sake, for what is within the hearts of Their children is dear and trueThem. The Ancient and Mighty Ones shall cause the balance to be made for those whodesecrate the worship of the Lord and Lady, Their Temples, or their Creations" * LadyGaladrel1

Ode of a little elfPosted by bunny

Forest is singing

can you hear it......

a song of love is being sung

It sings across time and through space

it sing a song of life

It sing of sacred beauty

listen very carefully

and hear my heart

listen more ....

it makes you smile

for you heard that song before

its the song of youre heart

it sing with joy

at times it would make you weep

but let it flow

for it will help you see

trust me, let it speak

for it will tell you truth

and raise you up,


22/58

singing in harmony

with the symphony of creation

And every time a new voice is raised

You will be blessed with love and truth...

We are all singing, every one of us

Singing, harmonising, keeping beat

With the symphony of creation itself

It is beautiful beyond measure

it created a wake up call,

A summons from the One Soul

That is the divine beauty that we create here

It is Gods Eternal Love Song to us all

Yet it is not a song I hear with my ears,

I hear footstep.....

because sometimes

you just pass along

never had the chance

to hear the forest sing

and it is .......... beautiful.

The Great SpiritPosted by Willow RaineBefore our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had noriminals. You cant have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we h

no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave himhese things. We were too uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We

wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and thereformans worth couldnt be measured by it. We valued the exchange of love, so we did notdeal in fear. We had no written law, no attorney or politicians, therefore we couldnt cheWe were in a really bad way before the white man came, and I dont know how wemanaged to get along for millenniums without the basic things which, we are told, are

The war around our belief systemsPosted by Sunshine-Chayenna

Humanity have fight in many wars. They started with the war of property. With that wawe all fall in the illusion that there will be not enough for everyone. After that war we

tarted a war about power. And we all fall into the illusion of powerless. On this momewe are in war about beliefs. You can see it all over the words. How this war will endingust not writing down.

am a Christianam a Muslimam a Catholicam Jewisham a witch

am paganam..

All over the world we are fighting with each other about our beliefs. All over the world re fighting with each other about which belief have the only true God. Our beliefystems are very old. They are not bad or good. But they are nothing more thennstruments who lead us to our true selves. And this is what this war is about.

Many of us are afraid of the true selves. Many are afraid to lost their identity, and are stlave of who they think they are. People are afraid to let go their beliefs. People are afra

o take back their own property and power. In that fear they fight with others, so in thathey have the illusion the will exist.

am who I am. Just al what you can write down, behind the I am, is part of me. I am allwere I believe in. Every new day I make my own choice who I want to be that day. Evernew day I make the free choice how I act in it, and what energy I will feed.

make the choice if I want be part of the war who is going on, or stay on the sideline, anust let the energy flow by me so it can be neutral again.

Do you belief that you are victim of the system were we life in. Are you fighting the

ystem or can you let it be, and just changed your own beliefs?

The path of somebody who stop fighting can be very lonely in this world. But on that pyou will find more and more brother and sisters who stopped fighting the belief systemof others. Who stopped feeding the belief systems of others with telling them they arewrong or bad. They just let them play their own game and look to it with a smile and anopen heart. Humanity play this major part of this war out on the internet. Facebook,witter, forums are the new playground for this war. But it are also the playgrounds wer

you can stay on the sideline, with a smile on your face, without any judgement and just

who you wanted to be in that moment

Our EssencePosted by Willow Raine

t isn't until you come to a spiritual understanding of who you are--not necessarily aeligious feeling, but deep down, the spirit within--that you can begin to take control. --

Oprah Winfrey

How would you andwer this question: Who, or what, am I? On the deepest level we aressentially spiritual beings. The term "spiritual" is often used interchangeably withreligious," but they are not the same. "Religion," the root meaning of which is "to tie ba

or reconnect to," has come to refer to institutions, belief systems, and rituals that attemp

o activate the spiritual, the source from which they come. Unfortunately, in the attemptapture the spiritual, religion freezes it in time and space, and it all too often becomesdogmatic, thus widening the gap between the seeker and his goal. When religion losesontact with its source, the spiritual gets reduced, distorted, or even obliterated--as witnhe slaughter of thousands around the globe in wars fought over religious beliefs.

But the spiritual is present whether we choose to cultivate it or not. It is our essence, ournnate drive toward wholeness. It is not something we acquire from the outside, but it c

be developed within each of us. We can tap into it by choosing to live consciously in ouelationships. In this process, we experience oneness and joy, an acceptance of differencnd a deeper level of love. We experience God, a code word for this deeper, more wholeevel of the self.

Think today about using your relationship to develop your spirituality. Identify a part oyourself that is underdeveloped, perhaps your inability to express emotion, yourdiscomfort with touching your body, your lack of confidence in your ability to thinklearly. Consider how you can develop this aspect of your innate nature in yourelationship. Ask for your partner's help.

n quiet today, I contemplate the reality that I am essentially a spiritual being seekingwholeness. I hold this thought: "God is that within me which seeks to become whole. Los the path."

little brightening up

Posted by bunnyhave story about weed and love to share

pretty little flower like the dandelion, I know they are weed, they are always presentedlutched in a child's dirty little hand, No one gets yelled at for picking them. Perhaps th

grow only to be used and enjoyed by children.

They are ignored or attacked, never nurtured or cared for, and yet they always bloomprofusely.

They demand no pampering or special attention to yield their bright blossoms; they pop

up in fields, in lawns, and between cracks in the sidewalk, even in the bestneighborhoods. Can you imagine trying to grow them in a garden? They'd sneak throughe boundaries and pop their sunny yellow faces up in the surrounding lawn.

They would never stay put!

think dandelion remind us that simple kindness and beauty have deep roots that arempossible to dislodge. Our vast number would show the world that even though we ar

not fancy or pampered we are evident everywhere, even in the best neighborhoods.

We could be as easily accessible as a dandelion. We need to get out of our gardens andump across the boundaries that keep us where people expect to find us. We need to sho

our sunny yellow faces in all the spots that need a little brightening up - the crack in theidewalk or the home of a friend in need.

Ascension with a MusePosted by KisharblazeThe hardest parts of my life trickled through me one night.Coursed through my veins and into my heart.Causing the beat to skip rhythm and time,Shortened my breath and tempting my soul to depart.

With a gasp and a shiver I collected my senses.An epiphany struck me hard and deep.This was no matter I could attend on my own,So I summoned my Muse, aroused her from sleep.

To bait these troubles, to relinquish their throne,asked for help of Divine design.

To put in words and trap these tribulationswould imprison them forever in verse and rhyme.

With astonishment in her eyes at this bold requestAnd seeming both humored and a little miffed,You realize, of course," she said with resolve.This falls beyond the bounds of my gift."

Your purpose understood, there is but one thing I can do.I shall lift up your spirit to ascend above.We shall pass through my realm to where Angels dwell.For to imprison afflictions will take nothing less than Divine love."

So spirit to spirit we rose up through the clouds.Passed cloud nine, ten and eleven.Beyond clouds with numbers, or even shapes and names,

Til we reached the realm of Angels in Heaven.

She explained my plight and they gazed in awe.For a moment I was frightened that my request was too daring.Until they took my hand and welcomed me thereSaying, "We wondered how thin your patience was wearing."


35/58

Come child and sit with us a while.We will show you the making of a prison for your Hell.We've been waiting for years 'til the thought would descendUntil your conscience could no longer contain the swell.

In order of time you must write the words.One or two only to describe each grief.Let the ink flow out of the pen from your soul.Write each one down, simple and brief."

We sat all night as they guided my hand.With fervor and fire I made my list.They gently held my fragile soulUntil dawn's light peered into Heaven's Bliss.

Then gently they flew me back down to Earth.The Muse now exhausted at this unyielding task,

Said, "This has been a night for all to knowBefore I leave, I have one thing to ask."

Astonished she would wonder at me this time.asked her what she wanted. She said, and I quote,It has been my place to be intangible inspiration.I only wondered if I could know what you wrote."

With no hesitation, a little bewildered I'll admit,

relinquished the prison of unsavory thoughts.mpatient to know her opinion of the result,paced as she read it, my stomach in knots.

Expression on her face seemed gnarled and torn.She'd grieve a mournful sigh every few moments or so.Then she handed me the pages and looked with empathic eyes.I've committed this to memory," she said "So others will know."

It's apparent to me that I've always been at your callBecause with so much weight bound to your small build,If not for my help inspiring release through words,It would have weakened your mind 'til your spirit it killed."

And so the list, my prison for times gone by,Lies in the heart of my Muse's inspiration.She uses it as fuel for others she guides,When they are overwhelmed by their own trepidation


36/58

And so when you feel her gentle will upon youAs the verse or song or art from you flows,When it comes from heartache, it is my prison of pain that she uses.And so you'll recognize it, here's how it goes:

Rejection from birth, sold for dollars and centsA half price special on unwanted babes.

The first ruin at age three, with the brother they boughtThat memory never clear, just a feeling that wanes.

Age eight, a cousin, twice my ageThought hide and go seek in the basement would do

never realized 'til later the wreckage he causedTil I found out he'd molested my brother too.

This warped us both 'til brother found cocaine

Snorted to hide his own ruined soul.From age 10 to 14 he would molest and beatMom and Dad were busy chasing that social goal.

Munchausen's by Proxy was Mom's best friend.Dad worked out of state more than he was at home.A tomboy was an embarrassment to mother back then,So she made it plain I was invisible, outcast and alone.

Grounded for crying because it was selfish to feel,Or at least when it was me because that would take time.Something that interfered with the social normSo by age 15, I decided to make the pain mine.

t was never about suicide, I just wanted to feelChanneled other people's deaths, but didn't know what it was.Age 16 tried counseling to see through blinded eyes.That counselor betrayed me and told Mom and Dad, just because.

Mom took me to a doctor, said I made it all up.Next summer, my fragile mind gone, I committed myself.More to get away and think so I could figure things out.Graduated at 17, I'd placed my feelings on a shelf.

Left home age 18, as soon as I could.Ran to Junkieland so long I lost track of time.They swapped records for CD's, found out at a storeMet ex-husband, named Krueger, used fists to keep me in line.


37/58

Age 18-20 raped by three different menBecame pregnant, didn't know if it was ex-husband's or rapist.They wanted him aborted, except for me and my best friend.Kicked out 'cause I was pregnant (Mom's the ultimate escapist)

Somewhere in that time, danced a while at a bar.t was the only way that I could feel pretty.

Married best friend at 23 and he fixed my soul.Made me realize it was life, not me, that was shitty.

Been married 17 years, three sons, all grown.Age 39, almost died from too much heart ache.Aortic dissection, I'm one in a million that survived.But that dodged bullet hit Mom and Dad, our poverty was more than they could take.

And that is as simple as I can put it all down.f I had two more lifetimes I could write it all.

But the Angels told me one specific thing to do.Write down as simple as you can and as small"

So I suppose this will have to do.Maybe you'll never have to know all that I've been through.

Quartz meditaion

Posted by Kelly*One of the input channels for higher information is through the right cerebralhemisphere.

Dr. Richard Gerber, Vibrational Medicine

Meditation & Enlightenment with Quartz Crystalsby Yogi Sharanananda

What is meditation and how does enlightenment happen?" you might ask.

According to Dr. Richard Gerber, another more powerful form of inner communicationwith the Higher Self is meditation. Meditation clears the mind of conscious thoughtprograms to allow higher vibrational sources of information to enter into the biocompuor processing and analysis. In addition to allowing access to the Higher Self, the proces

of meditation causes gradual changes in the subtle-energy anatomy of the human beingover a long period of time. Specifically, the chakras are slowly activated and cleared, anhe kundalini energies within the root chakra eventually make their climb up the subtle

pathways within the spinal cord to reach the crown chakra.

The real reason to meditate is to achieve enlightenment. Enlightenment might bedefined here as a more cosmic or energetic perspective of the structures of consciousneseeling of unity with all lifeforms, and an understanding of the spiritual workings behi

physical reality. This higher level of perception will ultimately allow the individual toomprehend the meaning of his or her life in relationship to others and to the universe

general. This is what is referred to as a more cosmic perspective. Meditation mayultimately allow humans to come into closer relationship and greater comprehension ofGod the Creator.

In human beings the process of enlightenment is intimately tied to the properlignment and normal functioning of the major chakras of the body. When all of the mahakras are open and active and when there is adequate etheric vitality in the body, the

human being begins to function at optimal levels of health and higher consciousness.Meditation merely amplifies this gradual process of awakening. It accelerates the openiof the chakras and their alignment with the physical and subtle bodies in special wayshat devotion and prayer alone do not achieve as quickly and directly.


40/58

According to Dr. Richard Gerber's Vibrational Medicine book, wherein he stated, Anndividual's ability to connect with his or her Higher Self is partly a function ofpecialized energy links within the crystalline network of the physical body. Thisrystalline network helps to coordinate the energetic structures of the higher subtle bod

with the consciousness of the physical personality. Gurudas brings out new and importnformation that may explain certain aspects of right-hemispheric functioning and psibilities. Psychic abilities are mediated by special biocrystalline and energetic pathway

hrough which the Higher Self may interact with the consciousness of the physicalpersonality. One particular crystalline structure that is important to our psychic receptivs the pineal gland and, more specifically, the pineal calcification: a crystal that lies in thenter of the brain.

The pineal gland in esoteric literature has long been associated with the third eye. Ouarly biological ancestors actually had a rudimentary but functional third eye, complete

with lens, as exists today within the tuatara (a lizard found in the southern hemisphere)The pineal gland is associated with the phenomenon of light from a variety of different

biological and energetic perspectives. This esoteric association of the pineal with the thye in humans stems from the pineal gland's link with the third eye (or brow) chakra. Tpineal gland is linked to the chakra system by way of a special energetic circuit which hdeveloped in human beings over the course of time. The function of this specialized

nergy system is uniquely involved with raising the energies of the personality toward higher, more spiritual level of consciousness. In addition, this same energy system isesponsible for awakening an individual's full creative and evolutionary potential.

According to the channeled material by Kevin Ryerson from his book Flower Essences

nd Vibrational Healing, the kundalini activation process utilizes the crystalline circuitof the body, especially the pineal gland, as well as a special resonant energy reflex arcxtending from the coccygeal region to the brain stem. Although energy flow through th

pathway is primarily involved with the ascension of the kundalini, it appears that thisircuit also functions on a more day-to-day basis to allow us to communicate with our

Higher Self.

The pineal gland is a crystalline structure that receives information from the soul andubtle bodies, particulary the astral body. The subtle bodies often act as filters for

eachings from the soul and Higher Self. From the pineal gland information travels to thight portion of the brain. If there is need to alert the conscious mind to this highernformation, it passes through the right brain in the form of dreams. Then the left brainnalyzes it to see if the information can be grasped. This often occurs with clear dreamshat offer messages. From the left brain information travels through the neurologicalystem, specifically passing through two critical reflex points - the medulla oblongata ahe coccyx.


41/58

There is a constant state of resonancy along the spinal column between the medullaoblongata and coccyx; properties of the pineal gland resonate between these two pointsThen the information travels to other parts of the body through the meridians andrystalline structures already described. The life force of vibrational remedies activateshis entire procedure. This is a key process the soul uses to manifest karma in the physi

body.

The crystalline circuitry herein described actually contributes to the physiological basisor the kundalini process. Additionally, this circuit permits the step-down transductionnformation from the Higher Self to various levels of awareness experienced by the

physical personality. It is most interesting that the right cerebral hemisphere, working ioncert with the pineal, acts as a primary relay point for information moving from the

Higher Self to the waking personality.

What is the function of quartz crystals in meditation?" you might then ask.

Quartz crystals are amplifiers of the energies of consciousness. The energy taken in frommeditative visualizations causes a raising of the vibrational rate of the body and anupliftment of consciousness to higher frequency levels. Meditative techniques whichemploy the use of visualization allow one to utilize natural right-hemispheric abilities tink more directly with the quartz crystal.

Ayurveda Counsels Oiling Your BodyPosted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)By Dr. Sonica Krishan

Ayurveda encourages appropriate oiling of the body parts. This needs to be practiced onn everyday basis.

The main reason behind this is that applying and massaging oil onto the body is believo be a good manner of rendering nourishing and suppleness to both the muscles and thissues of the body.

Oiling of the body has been compared in the ancient text along with rubbing oil onto a

piece of leather - which in turn makes it firm, flexible and long lasting. Similarly, there he example of pouring oil over the axis of the wheel.

Merits of Oiling the Body

Some of these significant benefits are:

Customary oiling and massage of the body tends to settle down the aggravated vatta

dosha or the air body humor. This helps to balance the humor and shield it from a widevariety of ailments.

It has been specified in Ayurveda text that the process of oiling the body is good forpromoting general health and tends to enhance the vital power of the physical body.

Oiling renders relaxation to the mind and the central nervous system.

When oiling of the body is undertaken habitually, this simple practice lays down the

oundation of a strong immune system.

Three Processes of Oiling Necessary for the Body

According to Ayurveda therapeutic science, although oil may be applied onto theomplete body for the purpose of general massage therapy, there are three particular bo

parts that need to be oiled every single day. These are the scalp, ears, and soles of the fe


46/58

Smearing the Head with Oil: When you aptly tend to apply oil onto your head (scalp anhair), it helps the body to stay clear of many ailments, such as headaches, hair loss anduntimely graying of the hair, anxiety, and insomnia.

Ayurveda recommends this habitual oil massage on the scalp for owning as well asmaintaining healthy hair, as well as imparting natural glow to your face. Furthermore, tprocess of oiling the scalp frequently is believed to be a nourishing endeavor for thebodily senses. All the more, this leaves a soothing and calming effect onto the brain.

Samhain MeditationPosted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)Samhain is the time of year when we honor the Ancestors. It is believed that at Samhain

he veil between the apparent world and the otherworlds is thin, and that we can reachhrough the veils to contact those who have gone before us. We honor the distant ancestof our family, our immediate relatives, and our friends who are deceased.

To prepare for this Meditation, have your cauldron or bowl ready. If you will be outdoohave small sticks that you can light for a fire in the cauldron. If indoors, have a short pilandle or votive, and a fire brick to put under your Cauldron. Place paper and pen near auldron.

Visualize yourself walking in a place of nature. This may be a place you already know, t may be somewhere you create in your mind. Be aware of the crispness of autumn, thehill in the air, the changing colors of the leaves, the seeds that fall from dying flowers,

pine cones and acorns underfoot. As you walk, you come to a low stone altar with a largCauldron sitting on it.

On the altar you see articles that you know belonged to, or are representative of, yourdeceased ancestors, family members, and friends. Next to the cauldron is a small collectof wood ready to be lit. Light the fire. (Or candle, if indoors). This is your opportunity t

ontact anyone from your family, or among your friends, that you wish. Think of why ywant to contact them. Is there any unfinished business with anyone that you would likeake care of now?

Do you wish to ask forgiveness of anyone? Is there someone you need to forgive? Do yowant to tell someone how much you love them and miss them?

Next to the cauldron you see paper and pen. Sit quietly, take your time, and write youretters. Allow yourself to experience any emotions that arise as you do this. When you

have finished your letter or letters, burn them in the cauldron. As the flame turns themnto smoke, know that as the smoke rises it carries your message. (If indoors, be careful

Take a few more minutes to sit quietly before the cauldron.

The cauldron represents the womb of the earth, from which we come at birth and to whwe return in death to await rebirth. Gaze into it. This is a time to receive messages. Takeyour time. You may have a thought, or image, come into your mind. You may receive the

nswer to a question, or be given some wise advice. You may simply have a sense of pea

When you are ready to leave, ground yourself by placing your hands on the ground, androuching down. Allow any excess energy within you to flow into the earth. Leave theircle, returning by the same path you took before. Take the blessings of the cauldron ofife and rebirth with you.

Healing Crystals with Purpose

Posted by Rev. Carol A. Ingle (Raven)

What Does it Mean When You Are Attracted to a Particular Gemstone?

Ever wonder why you are attracted to a particular stone and not another? Being attractedrystals or rocks is not all that different from those times when we were drawn to certai

people who have formed our friendships and relationships. You will feel a magnetic puor strong desire to touch or pick up a gemstone when you see it. Keep in mind that a stoyou are drawn to may not necessarily be shiny or pretty. Although a stone may look ver

plain it will not go unnoticed. Rather than its outward appearance it will be the vibratiohe crystal healing properties within the stone, that will compel you to touch it. Beingttracted to crystals and gemstones will happen more and more as you learn to be open eceiving vibrational healing energies.

Gifting Someone with a Crystal for Healing

You may also feel a strong impulse to gift someone with a specific gemstone. Nature wi

manage to deliver the right stone that is needed to heal or support you or someone elseyou know in creative ways. For example, after picking up a stone that caught your

ttention, it won't be until you handle it that your friend Sally will enter your thoughts.You will intuitively know that this stone wants to belong to Sally. As if by magic you habeen recruited to deliver the healing energies that will help her. How cool is that? Youdon't even have to tell Sally that you are delivering a healing to her. Simply tell Sally thhe stone made you think of her and you would like her to have it. It is the truth after al

Sensitivity to a Stone's Energies

Discovering what a stone's talent or purpose is can often be realized by simply holding nd feeling its energies. Sensitivity to energies or vibrations can vary from person to

person. But, all you have to really know is that if a stone feels right when you handle it,grasp it tightly and take it home with you. If it feels icky or flat, leave it behind, it is notor you. It is likely meant for someone else who you don't know.


53/58

What to Do if You Can't Afford a Gemstone

f you have found a gemstone for sale in a store that feels right and yet you realize thatyou cannot afford it, well then you will have no choice but to leave it behind. You may nbe able to keep it but the stone itself will not be stingy with its healing properties. If it iocked in a display case tell the sales person that you would like to inspect the stone.

Handling the stone is perhaps all you need to do. The stone will likely transfer avibrational healing to you while you are handling it.

No Worries!

Don't sweat it if you cannot keep a particular stone. It has often been said that a stone canever be owned, that we are merely caregivers of stones. A stone will clear a pathway tomake its way to you if it is truly meant for you. Because many stones carry similar energyou can try to raise or lower your personal vibration to match the energy you felt whenyou held that elusive stone that you had to go home without. You can do this during youmeditation practice or quiet time. Mimicking the vibration will help another appropriattone to find its way to you. Happy rock collecting!

Celebrate who you are!

Posted by Willow RaineMy dear friends, we love you so very much.

Happy New Year and as we like to say Happy New You! Happy New, Wonderful,Magical, Creative, Abundant, Prosperous, Wise, Caring, Compassionate, Loving You! Fohat is how we see you! This is who you really are. This is what you want to bring to theurface this year! It is a year of loving the truth of yourself. It is a year of being authentit is a year of being committed to being "real" with everyone and everything around you

Look around your homes. What gives you joy? What brings you down? Look at your livWhat situations uplift you? What no longer represent who you wish to be in this world?Look at your relationships. Are you relating from a place of loving truth? Are you reallybeing the real you? Dear ones, if you can love all of who you are, in a given moment, yoan change the course of your entire life. If you can say, "Here I am. This is who I am no

and I love me! I know I am God's love incarnate, whether I feel it or not. I know I have abeautiful heart, whether or not I am choosing to bring it to the surface right now or not.know I have wisdom within me, whether I feel it or not," then dear ones you will start texperience a kinder reality almost immediately. For in choosing to love the truth of youpirit, dear ones, you focus upon it. And whatever you focus upon with love is coaxed tohe surface, nurtured, and experienced more deeply.

Look at your complaints! So many on earth truly love to complain. And so you focus yo

ove on your complaints and thus they are reinforced and magnified. What if, instead, yocused on what is good, true,and beautiful with such great energy and love, for indeedakes less energy to focus on what is good. It simply takes a little willpower and the

willingness to shift your attention. If you aren't feeling abundant yet, look at theabundance of resourcefulness you have used thus far to get by. Focus on what is goodwithin you. If you aren't feeling loving yet, focus on the fact that you at least are tryingand that in itself shows there are seeds of love attempting to sprout. If you are not feelinhealthy and well yet, focus on any little part of your previous physical vehicle that iseeling well, or even better yet imagine what it might feel like, or did feel like, to feel

well. You have so much power within you! Your power is to focus your love on whatevet is you wish to bring to the surface, experience, and magnify. Sunlight is needed foreeds to sprout out of the darkened soul, and your love is needed to sprout the seeds of

power, love, and goodness within you! They exist. They are present already. Water themwith kindness to self. Shed the light of your love on what is good within you. Then stanback and watch with wonder as these beautiful seeds begin to grow.

Happy New Year! Happy New You... or shall we say, Happy More Truthful, Authentic,Already Beautiful You!. God Bless you! We love you so very much. -- The Angels
