The Power of Prayer

Prayer is a communication between the universe and yourself that recognizes the divinity in both. It is focused energy directed to God/Source/Great Spirit, and when developed in a healthy way, is an essential part of the foundation for the journey on the spiritual path. All forms of prayer-formal, informal, casual, elegant, spoken, silent-are acceptable, and all are heard. There is no right way to pray. If the intention comes from the heart and you understand the laws of energy and the laws of attraction, the results from prayer can be truly miraculous.

Realizing Your Dreams

For any desire to be realized by you, or before anything can manifest in your life experience, there must be vibrational compatibility between your desires and your beliefs (The Secret). This is an exceptionally important statement to understand! Many people think that they understand the ...

The End of Prophecy 2012~ Part #1

We are hovering at the apex of the grandest time in human existence. For years, we have all experienced references to the year 2012 and prophecies about the cataclysmic changes that would ensue. The most famous reference has been to the Mayan calendar and the date December 21, 2012, when supposedly the world would end as the Mayan calendar concluded its 5126-year cycle. Many religions in many different civilizations have referenced the “end times.”

Becoming Yourself

Life is a journey of becoming. The goal of the journey is not in its destination; rather, it is the understanding that emerges from the journey. It is through the journey that wisdom is gained. Those who are interested in experiencing wisdom must change; they must seek healing. They must look at what they believe and examine why they believe it.

Eliminating Fear, Part 2

Fear is ego-based. And the ego constantly tells a story. Many of the elements of this story use tiny bits of information—some from the past and many from a distorted sense of the future—and the ego and fear convinces us that this story is true. The story may relate a case for scarcity or issue judgments or narrow our sense of possibilities. Fear is so imposing that we are convinced that the egoic endless chatter must be true and we act accordingly. Fear than becomes self-perpetuating.

Manifesting Your Intentions

As I contemplate the end of this year I have decided to look over the intentions that I put in motion for 2010. I am amazed what I have manifested and where my challenges have been. I notice that the challenges I have endured are a great part of the manifestation that is trying to come about. With this epiphany I am guided to remind you of a few things that I noticed: • Spirit is always working for you, not against you. • When you put something into motion with a prayer, intention, desire, or dream, there is an energy that goes into action in order to make this manifest for you.

Are We Merely Players, Part 2

I am continuing a thread of information that was given to me from the spirits about living in our True Self and not in the illusion of our projected self. The scenario the spirits originally presented to me was in a journey where I saw many non-physical, intergalactic beings present as the audience in a large theater. The theater was massive and these non-human beings arrayed among balconies and tiers and on the floor of the theater. They gathered to observe human performers acting their parts in the drama of life.

Letting Go of Resistance

Have you heard the phrase, "we are one"? It is a concept, ideal, slogan, and mindset that many give lip service to --- self included, although I have only begun to scratch the surface of its meaning. I have been sitting with this ideal for years, watching how it affects me and when I am in alignment with it and when I am not. I could write a book on this topic alone. However, where I am taking this today is regarding the vibration of resistance versus the vibration of unity consciousness.

Ascension, Appreciation and Action

Ascension and greater consciousness have been my intention for years. I work with the spirits consistently and follow their guidance to the best of my ability. For the past several years the spirits have been diligent about me aligning with the natural rhythms of the earth and stars. Under their guidance, for one year I slept outside under the stars to regain this galactic rhythm. Yes, that means with no tent and yes, it rained and was very cold at certain times. It is amazing the melodies you can construct with the rain hitting a tarp over your sleeping bag.

All You Need is Love

All You Need is Love...! Love is a simple four-letter word used to describe a range of hundreds of emotions. Instead of having hundreds of words to describe hundreds of emotions, the English language tries to capture these feelings in one word. No wonder it is so confusing.

Right Brain Dreaming – 4th Dimension

Dreaming is a state of awareness that is mainly right brain. In a dream, we know that things are magical and spontaneous and don’t seem to follow the logic of cause and effect or the natural laws of three-dimension reality, such as gravity, speed, and force. Dreams can be representative of the instant manifestation qualities of right brain function. To dream is to manifest and create in a different dimension. Think it and it has the potential to appear.

Being Power-filled (Powerful!)

People who have spiritual power have learned how to work with energy. Working with energy requires an understanding of both scientific laws and universal laws. Scientific laws change as science progresses. There were once laws that supported the beliefs that the earth was flat, was the center of the universe, and that light only travels in a straight line. These laws held true until science advanced to discover other possibilities, at which time new scientific laws emerged. Scientific proof supports a set of beliefs until a new scientific model redefines reality.

Mercury Retrograde: how do you handle it?

We can feel "VERY SPIRITUAL" when things are going easy and well. The real mastery of internal joy is when wellness/ peace/ joy is apparent even in difficult situations. Life has its cycles and definite ups and downs, but the master holds to the internal truths of love and the higher vibrations of human emotions, and is not taken on the roller coaster of emotions from exterior circumstances.

Internal Quest: Merging With Your True Self

A sculptor was once asked how he created such marvelous results from the stone he worked. He replied, "If I want to carve an elephant in stone, I simply chip away all of the stone that does not look like an elephant." The artist's creative process involved finding the inherent qualities of the stone and revealing them to the eye. The challenge is to find the truth within the medium.

Life out of Chaos

From earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan to tornadoes in the southern United States and recent natural events in all regions of Earth, we have been reminded again of the power of nature and the fragility of this reality we occupy daily. Our hearts go out to those whose lives have been disrupted and who face a difficult time of recovery.

Volcano Gods

Last month I revealed an excerpt from my upcoming book- Sitting in Circle with the GODs. I concluded with a question, who did I discover on the other side of the portal? (Please refer to last month's news letter Actualized Ascension). Before I can reveal that informatio I would like to weave one more imperative aspect into this mind-blowing voyage that I found myself in.

Ascension 2012

I have previously written that I have dedicated this year and next to the cultivation of living through chaotic times with grace and ascension. The years 2011 and 2012 are pivotal times for humanity. The old paradigms that govern our lives are being deconstructed and new ways of understanding our existence are emerging as we reshape our universe in communion with the greater powers that lie within ourselves and our universe. Critical choices that we make at this time will determine the outcome and the degree to which we will align with and shape this new age.

Apprentices of the New Age

Each summer LightSong offers a workshop on Telepathic Communication outdoors in a camp situation. This workshop is a practicum for my Level 2 Practical Shaman class and we use the template of the vision quest to experience the profound magic of telepathic communication. Set in Tillamook, Oregon, the land we use is beautiful, with tall trees and lush greenery. The scene is very much like a magical fairy garden, only our garden is 143 acres. I love this land and the opportunity to commune with nature in all its majesty and simplicity.

Sing Your Self Home

Years ago, I learned that one way indigenous cultures identified soul loss in a person was that they had stopped singing. The joy they usually showed in their natural state of wholeness was no longer emanating from them. A part or parts of them had fragmented, and the result was a lack of joyfulness. When someone noticed this in another, something was immediately done to bring that energy back to the person. Fragmentation was dangerous to everyone, both the person and the rest of the community.

Shamanic Healing and Soul Retrieval

Learning about shamanic healing practices and soul retrieval became imperative for me. I contacted Sandra Ingerman, the author of Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self, through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. I strongly felt that I needed to have a soul retrieval and the information about jou eying stimulated wisdom that already resided in my soul. I remembered lifetimes of being a healer and my knowledge from previous lifetimes became available to me again.

Raising Your Body's Vibrational Energy Part 1

The other day a phenomenon that had to do with vibrational alignment happened in my body and left me amazed. Many years ago, I was sitting in a sweat lodge with an excruciating headache asking for relief. The voice of spirit said loud and clear, "You cannot drink coffee or eat chocolate anymore." I discounted the voice. Later, in another highly activated spiritual experience, I had a migraine and again the voice of spirit said, "You must stop ingesting coffee and chocolate. They are in direct opposition to your vibration." Again, I didn't listen.

Bring Your Dreams to a New End

The spirits say to always bring your dreams to a good end. I first learned this in a shamanic dream class. We wore dream robes at night that were imbued with our own shamanic dream symbols. Going to bed was a ritual in itself, with pure intent to dream and heal in the dreaming process. This workshop was several years ago and my own spiritual allies have expanded on this teaching that I would like to share with you.

Awareness: Apply it to change

We are living in the 21st Century --- the Age of Aquarius --- an age of enlightenment and of new hope. But this new millennium is also the era of rapid change and confusion. We face the ironic condition of a globalization that seems to separate us more than it brings us together. We are in an Information Age that overwhelms us with rapidly accessible data that leaves us with less wisdom and understanding.

The Year of Actualized Ascension

I am writing a new book entitled Sitting In Circle with the Gods. My goal is to complete it by the end of the year. This book has been a long time coming. I have attempted it on several occasions but now I realize that some of the experiences that I needed to capture had not yet happened. But now is the time to put it into print.

Being in Your Right Brain

The word “clairvoyant” is derived from Latin roots through French to English and literally translates as “clear sight.” Most understand the word as meaning intuitive, psychic, telepathic, second-sighted, perceptive, or farsighted. The first element of the word can also mean “light” as in “clair de lune”—moonlight. It’s a lovely word and perhaps appropriate to a discussion of the right hemisphere of the brain.

Ascension to Higher Dimensions

Ascension is the act of moving upward, the transcendence of ordinary conditions of existence, the scaling to new heights of awareness and consciousness. The different dimensions we aspire to offer opportunities to create our own conditions of being and to discover the magical qualities of a fully realized life. Such states of reality are available to all but not without a conscious decision to explore the mystical realms of a reality that differs in form and nature from what we have come to accept in our contemporary culture as the natural state.
