Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas in 2011! This year has been full of Blessings that I am very grateful for~ the fact that we live free in the USA is high on the list! I am also very grateful for family, friends, health and wealth! The gifts given at this time of year are the symbols of appreciation for the present (time). Even though these seem to be hard times, the feelings of being blessed, loved and appreciated are accepted with the greatest gratitude, and are timeless!

Christmas Eve

Here we are at Christmas Eve already! The New Moon in Capricorn tonight is very auspicious for powerful intentions and manifestations to move out of this "old" year into the new year, smoothly, easily and effortless! Any new moon is great, but this one is especially spectacular because Santa is coming (even now he is being tracked by radar at NORAD) and we are all getting gifts. The present is always the gift we recieve...

Happy Winter Solstice

Tonight is the Winter Solstice! Also known to be the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere, longest day of the year in the southern hemisphere. We have a long, cold, snowy night here in Colorado. Happy Solstice to all and to all a good night! Time to snuggle inside and hibernate until tomorrow...

The Geminids & Mercury Direct

Today, the Geminids are in the night sky, and Mercury goes direct, after being retrograde for 3 weeks. The meteors from the Geminid shower are slow moving in December and peak on Dec 13-14, with the highest intensity in the early morning of Dec 14. This shower seems to be intensifying every year and recent showers have 120–160 meteors/hour with optimal conditions, around 2am to 3am local time. Geminids were first observed only 150 years ago, much more recently than other showers such as the Perseids and Leonids. In those days, the Geminid meteor showers, arriving so close to Christmas, were revered by people as signs of peace and the prophecy of rebirth, some thought the Geminids brought fear, representing cleansing the human experience by our creator. With Mercury going direct and forward, maybe there was some Mercurial technique of how we have always been and continue to be "guided to our Soul," since Mercury, or Hermes, is known as "The Guide of Souls." Also known as the "Divine Trickster" giving the ability to coordinate, organize, put things together, understand the whole and the parts, seeing the process and the larger cycles of life. The better to see what is really important during this season!

Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse

Early today was the last Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of the year! It is said to be a powerful one. The Moon looked vey large again.

Happy Thanksgiving

A very happy Thanksgiving to all of USA! This is an important day in the overall scene of life as we know it. Gratitude comes before anything else. If we are not grateful for what we have already, how or why can we wish for more?

Mercury Retrograde

This is the last Mercury Retrograde of this year! Starting today, just in time to retrograde back to our families for Thanksgiving! It is a hit for Thanksgiving, but also a miss for the biggest shopping day of the year- Black Friday. Remember- buy no electronics, and travel safely.

11-11-11

Today is Veterans Day, as well as 11-11-11- a day we have all been waiting for, at least for a century!

Veterans Day is the anniversary of the ending of World War I. It ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It was intended to end all wars! We remember and honor all those who served in all wars.

Standard Time

Finally off the daylight saving time schedule! It really throws us all off for over half the year, every year. I find that the older I get, the harder it is to recover from these ridiculous time changes. When are we ever going to get back to the REAL time? Our body clock knows what the real time is, otherwise we would really be lost in time/space. Yes, next we will be changing space with time/space travel...

Snowstorm to sunshine

From the Colorado snowstorm to the Florida sunshine again! I love the changes of weather, just had to pack for several seasons. It was great to get out of the snow... We will see plenty of it later in the season. With Halloween over, past the turning of the leaves on the trees, we can look forward to the Holiday months. I have my Christmas list, do you?

11-1-11

11-1-11 is All Saints Day! When all the saints come marching in... maybe with the snow, which is also marching in today here in Colorado. Honoring the saints who came before us is to honor ourselves & even to aspire to being saints!

Happy Halloween

Spooky night it is tonight! BOO! The weather has been great here for the little trick or treaters! Usually it snows, but we had that last week. Sorry for the people in the northeast, who got a terribe snowstorm and since power lines were down, they had to cancel all the Halloween activities. Maybe they will have them next week. I love links to the past NASA Halloween images and the history of All Hallow's Eve. Here is something different for Halloween from Molly Hall Astrology:

After leading tours through the town promoted as "America's Most Haunted City" for a few years, I've heard, and occasionally seen first-hand, all the ways that spirits make their presence known. Using some of the well-known ghost stories of Savannah, GA, along with some imaginative "specter-lation," here's a breakdown of ghosts by their Sun signs, and their likely haunting style.
Aries Don't stand too close to the fire with an Aries specter afoot. Beastly faces appear in the flames, and a random flame singes off your eyebrows. Candles are mysteriously blown out, only to be re-lit moments later, the smoke still rising off the wicks. This ghost asserts dominance, won't want to peacefully co-habitate with the living, and is not easily appeased.
Taurus With the memory of its earthly earthiness, this ghost makes tree branches reach out and grab you, or ground roots wrap firmly around your ankles. One trick is making the ground sink under you, absorbing your body into the landscape. Taurus ghosts send all kinds of smells wafting through the air, for good and ill. While some use this as a weapon, to chase you away, others send a comforting message. One of my friends smells apple pie baking from time to time in her apartment, for example.
Gemini With the Gemini ghost, listen for disembodied voices, perhaps with pieces of a tragic story to tell. This specter might etch letters on the wall, as one ghost in Savannah did, on the brick chimney. The letters were SCR NW -- can you guess the message? Always eager to communicate, this ghost will ring the phone, only to lose their nerve when the living pick up. They'll also be just as frightened of the embodied, as you are of them!
Cancer At the four-star Kehoe House B & B in Savannah, a motherly ghost will tuck you in at night, or give you a Goodnight kiss. The Cancer ghost has a sentimental streak and may have emotional ups and downs. Here's the one that sobs at night, or has a fit of the giggles under a full Moon. Children can easily see this specter's moony face, which has a bluish glow. This ghost gives great hugs.
Leo At the Marshall House, a Union officer greets hotel guests in the lobby, dressed in full regalia. A Leo ghost will wear the adornments and high fashion of his or her era. They'll also appear in their prime, as if frozen at their peak in life. One theory is that ghosts show images through telepathy, and a Leo ghost goes the extra mile for good PR. Such a regal spirit being shows up at holiday and birthday parties, galas, and the monster mash.
Virgo During Sherman's occupation of Savannah, the Marshall House was a hospital for the Union army. And guests say there's a nurse still making her rounds, pressing her hand firmly across the forehead to take soldiers' temperatures. The Virgo ghost haunts the workplace, just trying to carry on with their duties. One former bank employee of 30 years, still opens the vault doors of the safe, but only for those that follow procedure to the letter! The helpful Virgo apparition returns small missing items so your day will flow better.
Libra At the Owens-Thomas house, "The Horseman" walks through walls, and strikes a pose by the fireplace. Seen by three men at a cocktail party once, all remarked on his dashing looks and mid 19th-century riding finery. The Libra ghost may appear as a luminous being, and likely hovers above the ground. Listen for the sound of clinking glasses, as with toasting, or that of a distant pianoforte, as Libra knows how to entertain in the afterlife.
Scorpio There are Western medieval legends of demons that come in the night with one lusty goal in mind. The incubus (male) and succubus (female) took hold in the imaginations of those obsessed with sex as sinful. The evolved Scorpio spirit would never overtake another psychically. But a disturbed one potentially has the power to do all kinds of dastardly deeds. Some might end up as energy vampires, preying on those with weak auras. A compassionate one warns living friends of hidden dangers, or helps solve a mystery by dropping clues on the path.
Sagittarius This playful apparition has a way with animals, especially horses. Dogs and cats following air around the room are watching the antics of the Sagittarian spirit. Sagittarius is truly the "friendly ghost," striking up an immediate rapport with the living, and causing minimal fright. This ghost travels through time, curious about other cultures and eras. If a random spirit goes through a wormhole, and shows up on the other side of the world, it's likely a Sadge.
Capricorn The Capricorn ghost may not do his own haunting, but assign this task to underlings. At the Dresser-Palmer House, one woman woke to see white-capped maids from another era, who sternly asked her to leave this instant. "Mr. Palmer is very angry with you!" they said. The ghost of the prosperious, authoritative Mr. Palmer had spectral staff to do his bidding! Listen for the sound of gold coins being counted, like at the Olde Pink House, circa 1771, and perhaps it's the worldly weath of an otherwordly Capricorn.
Aquarius When a streetlight flickers on and off in Savannah, it's not blamed on bad wiring -- a ghost is saying hello! Aquarius ghosts use electricity more than most, sending elevators up and down with phantom riders, and blinding people with a sudden high-wattage beam. At the Juliette Gordon Low birthplace (founder of the Girl Scouts), staff has constant trouble with adding machines and computers turning on and off. Some ghosts love technology, and maybe they're just curious about these newfangled devices.
Pisces An etheric being in life, the Pisces ghost has a shimmery glow, along with exquisite celestial sound effects. Some jump up and down to be guardian angels, making their presence known in subtle, loving ways. The face in the water is definitely a Pisces apparition, along with illusory morphing of your own reflection in the mirror or a window. Here's the ghost that steps out of your dreams and into your bedroom, that presence at the foot of the bed. A playful Pisces ghost enjoys sculpting clouds into animals or words, messages meant to enchant, not frighten.

The Mayan Calendar Ends

Today is the day, according to some Mayan experts, that the Mayan Calendar ends. Is this the end of the world? Some think so. Carl Callemen is the main expert who thinks this is true. He has been writing about it for years. The Mayans, themselves don't think so, however.

New Moon Coming!

Yes, the new Moon in Scorpio is rapidly approaching! This smart, sexy sign of the autumn! My own mom is a Scorpio, so birthday time for her!

Orionid Meteor Shower

The Orionids are here! The meteors have been visible since last night in the northern hemisphere. They are derived from their radiant, near the constellation, Orion (one of my favorites). The belt of Orion constellation is made up of 3 stars which exactly line up with the 3 pyramids of Giza, as well as other pyramids in the Mayan ruins.

WEEKEND METEOR SHOWER: The Orionid meteor shower peak on Saturday, Oct. 22nd, when Earth passed through a stream of debris from Halley's comet. As many as 26 meteors per hour are visible from rural areas, according to the International Meteor Organization.

Autumn Equinox

On the Autumn Equinox, Night is equal to Day, Dark is equal to Light= BALANCE! It is always very interesting to me that every year at this time, the Sun is in the sign of Libra, the BALANCED Scales! The balanced scales of Justice, for example, stiking the right balance for the highest good of everyone involved. The ancients really knew what they were doing! Yes, we have technology and education, etc but they had the stars, sun, moon, planets, nature and each other to keep them balanced, in peace, harmony & fairness, always moving forward. At this equinox, the sun rises directly in the east and sets directly in the west (equal). In the northern hemisphere, before the autumn equinox, the sun begins to rise and set more and more to the north, and afterward, it begins to rise and set more and more to the south. The Autumn Equinox begins at 00 Libra, a time souls seek balance. This equinox solar affect may produce a reduction in the magnetic field of the Earth, providing easier access to other dimensions beginning around 24 hours prior, and ending around 24 hours following the exact Equinox time. The ancients taught that doorways or thresholds into the mysteries are more easily accessed during the equinoxes and when we consciously engage this timing we are taking advantage of the opportunity to further activate our own experience of these sacred timings and what they have to offer us. This is a great time to be on the land, in a power spot that calls to you, whether that is in a forest, near a body of water, on a mountain, in a sacred site or in your back yard. What is important is to create the time and space that supports a direct experience of the mysteries that are ready to reveal themselves to you.

Full Moon, Harvest Moon

This full moon is the Harvest Moon- it casts enough light for farmers to do their work late into the night. Above, Lady Liberty also works by the light of the full moon! This picture is celebrating two Goddesses- Liberty and Luna! The full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox is called the Harvest Moon, because all harvesting is usually done by the equinox, getting the earth ready for resting in fall and winter. This harvest moon is very close and bright! It was really bright for my night drive to Denver- showing me the way! This time of year is perfect for moon-watching. We watch the moon, as well as the moon watching over us...

9-11

New 911 Memorial

Prayers for 9-11 have been written & repeated every year now for 10 years. This decade has been the decade of pain, mourning and grief.
Today, the mayor and president will not even allow prayers to be said at the 10th Anniversary of 9-11! Also, they have limited gratitude or remembrance of the 400 firefighters and police officers that were killed while saving others. This has been called a clergy ban, or religion ban by some in the media. That's too bad, many religious leaders of many faiths have stood at ground zero and wept while saying prayers, including the Pope. We Americans are a faithful people- this ban is an unspeakable injustice to us all!
Ground Zero is only a zero to the politicians; it is Hero Ground to all of us Americans who felt and still feel today the stinging pain of an incalculable loss- the loss of thousands of innocent people, as well as hundreds of rescuers- our Heros of 9-11.
"Monitor your thoughts, for they become your words. Monitor your words, for they become your actions. Monitor your actions, for they become your habits. Monitor your habits, for they become your character. Monitor your character, for it becomes your destiny."

Labor Day in the USA

How is your Labor Day? Mine is always a Labor of Love... working in the garden, around the house, on relationships, or on myself! Out of the office for a day doesn't equal out of touch. Labor Day in the USA usually means catch-up time for most of us, especially with almost everyone taking their work home with them, or carrying the virtual office at all times to plug in anytime! Love the extra time to do whatever, though it is still not enough time!

New Moon

August New Moon always changes everything! This one tonight is in Virgo. We all will appreciate the way we grow younger at this new moon and try new things again, those same things that maybe we tried in our younger years, or possibly brand new ideas from this current period of time. Of course, Virgo is timeless- so we are as well right now!

Hurricane East, Earthquake West

Weather is the only news, it seems. Hurricane Irene traveling up the east coast, and in California, another earthquake- and along that same latitude- 37

The people on both coasts are used to these earth changes, but it is still mind boggling. These will be cleansing, so there can be new beginnings, but very difficult to get through to that point. Stay safe, stay aware, stay away from the fury, until it is over and all is well again.

Earthquakes, Earth Changes

Another earthquake in CA, on NV border, again on the same latitude! We now have east, midwest and west earthquakes along the same latitude bisecting the USA. The Japan earthquake was also along this latitude. I do not know what this means, if anything, but it sure is strange...

Earthquakes & Hurricanes

Last night, an earthquake in Colorado, which was the strongest in over 40 years! Today, another in Virginia, the strongest since the 18oo's! Both about the same latitude, but different longitudes. Serious events happening on our Mother Earth right now.
*See the USGS IRIS Earthquake Monitor at the lower right of this blog for updates anytime.*
Now, we hear about hurricane Irene coming up the east coast- where it lands, nobody knows. Weather experts can only guess, people can only watch and prepare to evacuate! Stay tuned and pay attention!

Full Moon, Meteor Shower, Mercury Retrodrade, Oh My!

This Full Moon is the Aquarius, Red Moon, the Meteor Shower is the Perseids, the Mercury Retrograde is in Mars! Some assortment! Our emotions are all over the board, as well as our physical well being! Look to the tried and true to unwind, or risk of overwhelm is, well, overwhelming.

Vacation or Staycation?

Which do you prefer- vacation or staycation? I am currently on vacation, I vacated my city and traveled to another to visit and see the sights (in Florida). I am also attending a fun party and going to theme parks and the beach! Most of my time off, however, I must admit is spent on staycation. Staying home in my house or staying within my own city. My staycations are usually filled with activities, but sometimes I just have a spa day at home. You know, stay in bed all morning, get a massage, go out for brunch or lunch (depending on how long I sleep), do some gardening, or other at home creative project. Have time for friends that I hardly ever see anymore, visit family, or just run errands that have been on my list forever...

Last of July already?

I can't believe it is the last of July! Where has this year gone? Where has the summer gone? Everyone is getting ready for school starting already! I say, let's enjoy the rest of summer and not rush the fall- it will be here soon enough. Watching the clouds go by, going to the beach or swimming pool, letting the mad rush pass by you, sitting on the porch, drinking lemonade, watching the world go by- whatever lets you slow down and savor the summertime! More living in the moment of time, rather than letting time run away from us- time is just an illusion, anyway...

Summer Vacations

Back from the mountains, ready for the beach! In between I will be moving my office location... not exactly what I would call a vacation, but I am excited to be moving forward and upgrading! Lots of happenings for everyone after the summer eclipses changed everything. What is changing in your life? New job, new baby, new relationship, new business, new ideas, new residence- or like me, new office? I will also be developing new seminars for depressed, anxious & bipolar sufferers- part of the new ideas!
Take some time out for yourself, a true vacation for R&R before the fall starts up again with school, work and other responsibilities close at your heels. REALLY relax this time, it may be the last time for a long time, as time itself is moving ever faster into the future- get ready for 2012!

Independence Day in the USA!

This is Independence Day in the USA, 4th of July Celebration! Happy 4th! Freedom & Liberty are the order of the day! Fireworks, Family, Food, Fun and Friends are the Focus of today!

Give Thanks for our Blessing of America The Beautiful, a Nation Under God, by being a True American! Stand Up for what you believe, Stand for the Truth, Honor & Justice of this Great, Mighty USA!

Summer Solar Eclipse

This, the 3rd Summer Eclipse, is a Solar one, during a New Moon, so ALL new experienes of our choosing~ made to order from the universe are coming our way! Choose wisely, for this choice will be with you for a few years...
What you choose depends on what your choices were in the past- either pain, misery and procrastination or life, love and happiness based on our all important attitude. Either these change suddenly with this eclipse into the best one, or live with the consequences of the bad one for a very long time. Either regression or progression- which will it be?

Summer Solstice

Tonight is Summer Solstice! The next 90 days (13 weeks) will be the manifestation of your dreams or the consequences of your actions! Depending on your state of being these last 90 days... you have already made the choice.

Tonight is the shortest night of the year, longest day of the year- in the northern hemisphere. It is exactly opposite in the southern hemisphere. This relates directly to the opposite hemispheres in our brain- totally balanced today!

To the Native Americans the solstice is the marriage of the Sky and the Earth. A festival of light. Bonfires are lit to celebrate the Sun at its height of power and to ask the Sun not to withdraw into darkness. It is time to reflect on the growth of the year. Seeds planted in the Earth as well as within our own our souls.

Whatever you dream tonight will come true! See what happens...

Happy Father's Day

AngeLady Laurie Grant wishes Happy Father's Day to all the fathers who lovingly raise children like a well tended flower garden, not just letting them grow up like a patch of weeds!

Full Moon, Lunar Eclipse

"The longest lunar eclipse in more than a decade turned the moon blood red, yielding a rare visual treat for stargazers across a large swathe of the planet from Australia to Europe" Physorg.com
It was a great BIG yellow full moon seen from the USA- beautiful!

Eclipse Eve

This is the Eclipse Eve of the 2nd eclipse in the trio of eclipses of this summer. The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse. Now we pay closer attention to our dreams, sleeping as well as waking. What are waking dreams? The ones that wake us up to feel inspired suddenly out of the blue. Eclipses do that- suddenly change things, inspire ideas, spark the fire into life- our life! As most Lunar Eclipses, this one clears things out of our lives, and clears up ambiguity- especially in our past (Moon). Then, this new opening can automatically attract ideal circumstances, people, employment and many other things so that we can develop better skills to help us deal with the next eclipse of the sun!

New Moon Solar Eclipse

This is the New Moon, Solar Eclipse in Gemini. It is a time of fresh, new inspiration, new seeding of ideas while enjoying the ageless, timeless part of our Divinity. A time to be in peaceful balance, out with the old, in with the new-balanced with make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold.

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day! May we always remember the ultimate and so final sacrifice our soldier heros have made for Americans to have our Freedom, Liberty, Honor & Justice!

A SOLDIER DIED TODAY

Originally Titled, "JUST A COMMON SOLDIER"

by A. Lawrence Vaincourt

©1985

He was getting old and paunchy and his hair was falling fast,

And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past

Of a war that he had fought in and the deeds that he had done,

In his exploits with his buddies; they were heroes, every one.

And tho' sometimes, to his neighbors, his tales became a joke,

All his Legion buddies listened, for they knew whereof he spoke.

But we'll hear his tales no longer for old Bill has passed away,

And the world's a little poorer, for a soldier died today.

He will not be mourned by many, just his children and his wife,

For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.

Held a job and raised a family, quietly going his own way,

And the world won't note his passing, though a soldier died today.

When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state,

While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great.

Papers tell their whole life stories, from the time that they were young,

But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land

A guy who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man?

Or the ordinary fellow who, in times of war and strife,

Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?

A politician's stipend and the style in which he lives

Are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives.

While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all,

Is paid off with a medal and perhaps, a pension small.

It's so easy to forget them for it was so long ago,

That the old Bills of our Country went to battle, but we know

It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys,

Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.

Should you find yourself in danger, with your enemies at hand,

Would you want a politician with his ever-shifting stand?

Or would you prefer a soldier, who has sworn to defend

His home, his kin and Country and would fight until the end?

He was just a common soldier and his ranks are growing thin,

But his presence should remind us we may need his like again.

For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part

Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.

If we cannot do him honor while he's here to hear the praise,

Then at least let's give him homage at the ending of his days.

Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,

Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today.

© 1985 A. Lawrence Vaincourt

Enjoy today and Thank a Veteran/Soldier! They are responsible for the many freedoms we have in our great country, USA! That is why we memorialize these Heros on Memorial Day. Go to a National Cemetery and notice the headstones- most of our Warriors who gave their life were very young, notice that they also teach us about time, and timelessness!

Eclipses of the Summer

Eclipse Season is here! These eclipses are the Eclipses of the Summer. There are usually two pairs of eclipses in each year, with two eclipses in each pair. This summer brings three eclipses:
Solar eclipse June 1st ~Good
Lunar eclipse June 15th ~Better
Solar eclipse July 1st ~Best
Fun, Fun, Fun!

Each one brings changes into our lives, each has different ways and means. The astronomy, astrology, science & spirit of eclipses are well known throughout the ages. The New Moon Solar Eclipse of June 1 will bring truthfulness to light and shine like a laser beam on new things in your life, this is good. Then the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of June 15 will bring sudden endings, this better. The July 1st Eclipse will be a more difficult one, but will bring the Best rewards, which is the end of this round of eclipses. Save the best for last!

Springtime in the Rockies

The Ski slopes are opening up fo the weekends, since we have so much snow! We can go skiing on Memorial Day weekend this year! I do remember years were we went skiing on the 4th of July! This is what Springtime in the Rockies is all about! Let it snow!

No Doomsday, No Rapture

No doomsday or rapture yet... we are all still here! It is true that NO ONE knows the day or the time of the end of this world, or even the end of our own life, let alone anyone else's. The good preacher who wrongfully predicted this day as the end of days, is also still here- so far. Personally, I don't look to others for prophecy, since I have enough intuition to make my own prophecies, if I were so inclined- as do we all. It takes intense focus & concentration to be in touch with your inner self and your Highest Good or God. Not very many people want to have that level of focus from what I can tell. Most people don't even have the desire to attain the focus. Intuition is a natural ability, and is also a natural investment, and needs to be practiced, perfected, protected and tested often. The rewards are great, as in living life to the full, instead of predicting death to the world.

Medicines of Light

We have all been talking more about our water, how to get it purified of toxins, use for protection and healing, etc. Here is a blog by Tom Kenyon about this same subject. Reiki Masters and other Healers have been aware of Medicines of Light for awhile, but the majority of people have never heard of this. It is indeed our birthright as Human Beings to use water in healing; consider Holy Water used in Sacred Rituals...
Some would sell you expensive purifiers and "alkalizing machines" which I have NO COMMENT about. Just know you have this method within you always and forever!
~Laurie

Medicines of Light: Protection and Healing from Radiation Poisoning, Neurotoxins, Bacteria and Viruses. from the Hathors of Venus via Tom Kenyon posted 3/16/11 With the earthquake in New Zealand, followed by the earthquake in Japan, it is clear that you have entered a more complex phase of the Chaotic Node. We wish to impart a method for protection and healing from radiation poisoning as well as other physical conditions. We call this Medicines of Light.This is obviously related to current events unfolding in Japan, however, as future earth changes unfold, you may face similar challenges in your near future from other locations around the world. This method will assist you to both protect and heal yourself from exposure, not only to radioactivity, but also to neurotoxins and to mutating forms of bacteria and viruses. From our perspective you can expect to see an increase of these in your near timeline. The method involves connecting to your Celestial Soul, the BA. This action is to connect to the realms of light that are a part of your being. Everything that exists in your cosmos can be viewed as a qualification or energetic expression of light-even your densest forms of matter are essentially a form of light. In this method you connect to your Celestial Soul, holding the intent and expectation that it will impart to you an energetic that protects and/or heals you. You send this intent to your Celestial Soul with the emotional vibration of appreciation or gratitude. This is simply the vibrational resonance that activates this higher aspect of your being. Once you send this intent conjoined with appreciation or gratitude to your BA, you shift your awareness into your heart chakra, receiving the energetic of healing or protection into the heart chakra. You might experience this energetic as a form of light, or as geometric patterns, or you may feel the sensation of a descent of energy. You may also experience this energetic simply as a thought/feeling. Once the energetic is received in the heart chakra, it is ready to send. For this phase you will need some pure water, since water holds this type of information extremely well. Holding a container of water in your hands, through intent, you send this energy that is in the heart chakra down the arms into the hands and through the chakras that are in the center of each palm. The energetic enters the water through this pathway. We suggest you amplify this energetic by repeating the procedure three times, for a total of three times-two more times in addition to the first. You then drink the water. The water permeates the water element of your body, and the healing and protective qualities eventually enter every cell. Through this action you are qualifying light, causing it to descend through the central pathway of your body into your heart and sending it into the water element. The consciousness of the water receives this energetic, and when you drink it, the body receives it. If you find yourself in a situation where you have been exposed to radioactivity you would engage this procedure as we have described it, qualifying the energy that descends from the BA to protect and heal you from any possibility of radiation poisoning. If you have other means to protect yourself, you should obviously engage these as well, but even if you are left with nothing but the tools of your own consciousness, you can protect and heal yourself. If you have been exposed to neurotoxins you would do the same. If you are in the midst of an epidemic that involves bacterial or viral infections, we advise you to do the same. As you collectively enter more deeply into this more complex and intense phase of the Chaotic Node, bacteria and viruses will mutate faster. This method will allow you to protect and heal yourself from these mutating life forms. It is important to understand that you are creating the protection and healing through the powers of your own consciousness. You have direct access to your own light realms. You have the sovereign right to engage the light realms on your own behalf and on the behalf of your loved ones. If you find yourself in one of these difficult situations we have described, we suggest you take the Medicine of Light-which is the water that you have charged-several times a day, as your intuition guides you. The physical ramifications of the earthquake activity in Japan and the resulting tsunami are very difficult to deal with. But we wish to shift our attention from the physical to the mental, emotional, and spiritual effects created by such a disaster, Due to the fact that you are in a Chaotic Node and energies from deep space conjoined with solar flare activity are affecting your energy bodies, you, as a collective, are more affected. What we mean by this is that witnessing the suffering of your fellow humans shatters the heart. There is a recognition that their predicament could easily be yours. This recognition can create an opening in your heart, and it is through the heart-your heart-that higher states of consciousness are realized, and so the earthquake in Japan is, in many ways, an earthquake of the collective heart. The times before you are not easy. From our perspective, increased earth changes are upon you. But one result of such events is that you are shaken to your roots and the mass hypnosis pauses for a moment. And in such utter and surrealistic devastation, many of you see very clearly that your civilization rests on tenuous grounds. We mean this both literally and figuratively. And so our advice for this phase of the Chaotic Node is to learn and master the ability to create Medicines of Light for yourself, so that when the time arises, you know how to engage this power of protection and healing that you possess in your very nature. And we suggest you navigate through these times not only with your minds, but with your hearts-and let your hearts be touched, for it is through your hearts that you will ascend the spiral pathway to your own greatness. The HathorsMarch 16, 2011
Tom's Thoughts and ObservationsI have been channeling the Hathors for about twenty years now and started posting their Planetary Messages in February of 2003. And in all that time I have never sensed in them such an urgency to post one of their communications. Usually, I am given several days to dwell on and contemplate their messages before writing my comments. But that luxury does not exist in this moment. They have asked Judi and me to post this particular message as soon as possible, and so I will make my comments brief and to the point. The central message here is that all human beings have the ability to create what the Hathors call Medicines of Light. And this type of medicine has an inherent capability and potential to protect and heal us not only from radioactive poisoning, but also from the effects of neurotoxins, as well as bacterial and viral infections. The method is simple and to the point. Since some of you reading this may be new to the whole idea of a Celestial Soul (or BA), let me clarify its location and how to engage it. The BA, or Celestial Soul, is an aspect of your own consciousness that is outside the constraints of time and space. Some of you might refer to the Celestial Soul as the Higher Self. But whatever you call it, your Celestial Soul exists in what the Hathors call the light realms, and this aspect of you is engaged whenever you send it appreciation or gratitude. Your BA does not have a location in time and space since it is transcendent to both. But it does have an entry point to your energy field, which is about arm's distance above your head. If you were to raise your hands over your head and touch your fingertips together, your fingers would be in the vicinity of this entry point. And this is where you place your attention in the first phase of their method for creating a Medicine of Light. (Do note that placing of your hands above your head is only for orientation purposes. You do not actually put your hands over your head when creating the Medicines of Light). Once you place your awareness in the area of your BA point, you hold in your mind the qualification of light you wish to receive. Let's say, for example, that you have been, or will be, exposed to dangerous forms of radioactivity and are in danger of radiation poisoning. After focusing your attention on your BA point above your head, hold the intent that the energy that descends from your BA will be an energetic of healing and/or protection from radiation poisoning. You then send the feeling of appreciation or gratitude upward from your heart chakra to the BA point above your head-as you hold the intent or qualification that the energetic imparted to you from your BA will protect and/or heal you from radiation poisoning. Next you shift your attention from your BA point to your heart chakra (in the center of your chest beneath the sternum) and then wait to receive the energetic of protection and healing from your BA. Those of you new to this may need to send the intent or qualification along with the feeling of appreciation or gratitude to your BA several times before you notice a response. But just keep sending this intention joined with the feeling of appreciation or gratitude upward to your BA until you feel a descent of energy. When you feel the descent of energy from your Celestial Soul, shift your awareness to your heart chakra. Allow your heart center to receive this energetic of protection and healing. You then place your hands around or over a container of pure water and send this energetic received from your Celestial Soul into the water. The energetic of healing and/or protection that has entered your heart center will move down your arms and into the water through the two chakras that are in the center of the palm of each hand. Repeat this process for a total of three times. Then drink the water. If you are in a precarious situation, the Hathors advise that you create a Medicine of Light several times a day and drink it according to your intuition. As the Hathors point out, Medicines of Light have many more applications than just protection and healing from radiation poisoning. You can use these to protect and/or heal yourself from neurotoxins, as well as bacterial and viral infections. Although they did not mention it, I asked the Hathors after they gave this message if the method would work for other physical challenges such as cancer. And they said that Medicines of Light could most definitely be created in the same way to deal with this type of situation-as well as others. Obviously, if you are dealing with a serious situation such as radiation poisoning, exposure to neurotoxins, and/or epidemics of bacterial and viral infections, you will want to avail yourself of all medical remedies. In other words, this method is not meant to replace medical or public health solutions, but is meant to be an adjunct, something you can do yourself-for yourself. After giving their message, I asked the Hathors about making Medicines of Light for those who are unable to do it for themselves, like children and pets. They said that you would use the same method, except for the fact that you would qualify the intent for the child or animal you are going to give the Medicine to. For example, if you were creating a Medicine of Light to protect or heal yourself from radiation poisoning, you would send the thought that the energetic you are going to receive from your Celestial Soul is for your own personal protection or healing. If you were going to do this for a child or a pet, you would send the thought that the energetic you are going to receive from your Celestial Soul is for the protection or healing of the being you are going to give the Medicine to, i.e. your child or your pet. It is here that I would like to interject something. It is far better to teach someone how to create a Medicine of Light than to create a dependency. The ability to create Medicines of Light is an inherent ability in all human beings. It is part of our multidimensional legacy. And to empower someone to do this for him or her self is a service to his or her mastery. I would personally hate to see this method being used by "healers" to create Medicines of Light for others under the guise that they have some special powers that others do not. This method for creating Medicines of Light is a human birthright, and my feeling is that it should be shared with all persons. There is much that I would like to share about this simple method for creating Medicines of Light, but philosophical and metaphysical observations will have to wait for another time. The Hathors are insistent that we post this information and circulate it as quickly as is possible.

Pyramids- Mayan

Pyramids are and always have been very important in the evolution of the consciousness of humanity. They are one of my favorite structures! Used for healing, preserving, and many other things, they are as ancient as it gets- as well as modern as it will be in the future! Here is great information on the Mayan Pyramids from the expert on the Mayan Calendar and Pyramids, Carl Johan Calleman from Sweden:

The Nine Underworlds of the Cosmos and their corresponding levels of Consciousness

According to ancient Mayan beliefs the Cosmos was made up by Nine Underworlds. This fundamental idea was expressed very powerfully through their most important pyramids, the Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent in Chichen-Itza, the Pyramid of the Jaguar in Tikal and the Temple of the Inscriptions in Palenque, which were all built with Nine different stories. Now where are these Nine Underworlds? the modern person may ask. Being currently unable to observe this aspect of reality people have in recent centuries for the most part tended to dismiss such ancient myths of different worlds as mere myths or fantasies. If we seek to dismiss the idea of the Nine Underworlds as a mere myth it however becomes difficult to dismiss such ancient myths of different worlds as mere myths or fantasies. If we seek to dismiss the idea of the Nine Underworlds as a mere myth it however becomes difficult to explain that the number Nine seems to have been regarded as a Holy number of fundamental importance in so many different cultures, cultures that certainly did not enjoy extensive contacts. Thus, in the Far East Nine-storied pagodas are commonly occurring, among the Jews there were Nine doors to the holiest part of the Temple and there are Nine arms of the Hanukkah candelabra. Among the Muslims the Holy month of Ramadan is the Ninth month of the year and in Viking mythology the Cosmos was described as being composed by Nine worlds. Thus people in different parts of the world all symbolically expressed the holiness of the number Nine. Maybe then there is some kind of universal truth underlying this number, some profound reason that it has independently in different cultures come to be considered as holy. When the Christian missionaries heard about the Nine Underworlds of the Maya they interpreted these as Hells, but this seems to be way off the mark. If these were Hells, or some locations below the surface of the earth as some have inferred, why then would the Mayan kings have climbed to the top of these supposed Hells to perform sacred rituals on the pyramids. Rather than a hierarchical structure of Hells the Mayan pyramids were viewed as World Mountains - symbols of the Cosmos. And since we ourselves are living in the Cosmos it thus seems more reasonable that the Underworlds are located right here in the physical world "Below" - where we ourselves are living our lives. Why then Nine Underworlds? Why not just one Underworld? To answer this we need to look at the longer cycles of time described by the Maya and see how these conform to the facts and datings for key steps in Cosmic evolution provided by modern science. We should then first note that similarly to the pyramids raised by the Maya their calendrical system is also hierarchical in nature, and in the Table above there are Nine different time cycles linked to the 360-day year, the tun. A sequence of Thirteen such time periods would then make up a creation cycle of Thirteen Heavens with the specified durations. Thus, each of the Nine Underworlds was created through a sequence of Thirteen Heavens. To exemplify, the longest of the tun-based time cycles was the hablatun of 460 800 000 000 days = 1.26 billion years. Thirteen such hablatuns makes up a creation cycle of a total duration of 13 x 1.26 = 16.4 billion years that created the lowest, the first Underworld. This is a curious finding since this time period, 16.4 billion years, is very close to the age of the universe, 15 billion years, the time when matter first emerged from light (Big Bang) The beginning of the creation of the First Underworld thus coincides well with the current best estimate of the beginning of Creation. This is a fact with very far-reaching consequences, since it means that all we today know to exist - all that has come into existence in the universe since the Big Bang - is included in the time span of the most basic of the creation cycles, the cycle of thirteen hablatuns, which creates the first of the Nine Underworlds. Mayan calendrics and the Mayan cosmology of Nine Underworlds and Thirteen Heavens is thus a tool for exploring all of creation! Upon this the most basic of the Nine Underworlds, are then built eight other Underworlds each carrying and developing a special frame of consciousness for the life that it creates. In this way a hierarchical nine-leveled structure is created where lower levels of consciousness provide the foundation for new and higher levels. Each of these nine creation cycles thus gives rise to a specific Underworld and each of these Underworlds is characterised by a certain frame, or dimension, of consciousness. This frame of consciousness is then created in a series of thirteen steps, through the sequential influence of Thirteen Heavens. The beginnings of these sequences of Thirteen Heavens are marked by crucial events in cosmic evolution such as we know them from the datings of modern science, and such initiatory events are listed in the Table above At the present time we are beginning to enter the eighth level of consciousness of the cosmic pyramid, based on the foundation provided by the seven lower levels. This eighth level may be referred to as the galactic frame of consciousness as it will step by step lead humanity to identify primarily with the galaxy. The highest level of consciousness, the Universal, will be attained through the workings of the Ninth Underworld in the year 2011 and will result in a timeless cosmic consciousness, and a citizenship in the universe, on the part of humanity.

In the middle column are listed the phenomena that initiate the evolution of these different Underworlds and to the right of these the types, or levels, of consciousness that they serve to develop. While the evolution of the Four lower levels of consciousness are all expressed as biological evolution the Five highest levels of consciousness carry the evolution of the cultural, technological and spiritual aspects of the human being. At the present time human beings are also beginning to develop a meta-consciousness, an awareness of the evolution of consciousness, that allows her to look upon creation from a higher perspective than the "frog perspective" of everyday human life. The Cosmic Consciousness of Universal Man as prophecised in many spiritual traditions is increasingly becoming a real possibility.

Spring/Vernal Equinox

This spring/vernal equinox the Full Moon is a Supermoon, the Sun is in Aries, daytime is equal to nightime and the Cosmic Alignments are heating up! The transformational changes in our own lives empower us and help us to become aligned with the direction our soul is taking towards awakening and crystal clear clarity. Those gifts will remain with us if we remain conscious and aware, and focused on that which is real. The photos are coming in: More photos at this link. They are really amazing!

Super Full Moon

In the media and news is a good story about tonight's Full Moon, which is a Super Moon due to the closeness and the magnified size in perigee. It will be larger than any other full moon in 18 years. This is indeed newsworthy, but stay tune for bigger news tomorrow, the Spring Vernal Equinox.

This is a great summary of supermoon from Molly Hall, astrologer:

This Saturday's Full Moon Virgo will be as close as it gets to Earth -- called perigee, and in line with the Sun and Moon. Any New or Full Moon, that's very close to the Earth, is a Supermoon, according to the man who coined it thirty years ago, Richard Nolle.
Since it's come up in mainstream media, he clarified his definition of the Supermoon. We've already had one in January, and there are usually 4 to 6 a year.
Nolle writes, "SuperMoons are noteworthy for their close association with extreme tidal forces working in what astrologers of old used to call the sublunary world: the atmosphere, crust and oceans of our home planet - including ourselves, of course."
And look out, it's another Full Moon at the anaretic or last degree of 29! That means it's a wrap up for Virgo-Pisces - we get the master class now in these energies. The exquisitely subtle, the magic of universal healing forces - often there's a calling to be of service to something higher than the Self. It's an axis of devoting personal energies, to the highest good, that often comes with a humility of surrender.
Mutable Moons shake things up, and in this earth sign, opposite to water sign Pisces, that can mean more earth changes. It's also a chance to shift shape, to adapt, and feel the fluidity of the moment. There's the planetary body, and then there's your own body and its atmosphere. It's a chance to detox your air (thoughts), water (emotions), physical space (earth) or obstacles to living with passion (fire.)
I'm sensing the need to get stronger spiritually, and to fully consecrate myself, to live with the sacred and the Earth. I'm not sure what that means yet, but this Full Moon along the Virgo/Pisces axis is ideal for that kind of dedication. Sandra Ingerman wrote today about the need to flex the spiritual muscles, to meet the intensity of this moment.
She writes, "We must learn to honor the rite of passage and initiation that humankind is going through. We are experiencing levels of death on many levels. Death is not an end but rather is a transition." One of her books, by the way, is about How to Heal Toxic Thoughts.
Last night, I dreamt -- or was given instructions -- to prepare for emergency. The emergence is the birth, and more and more, I'm seeing the Earth cracking out of its egg (the crust). And seeing the miracle of it, in the midst of the tragedy. In my dream, I knew it wasn't about stocking up on more canned sardines (which I've done), but preparing mind-body-spirit -- the holistic atmosphere.
With the Virgo-Pisces Moon this Saturday, it's a chance to come back to your personal planet and its atmosphere, the state of your mind, body and spirit. If you're wanting to be a healing presence, what preparations and adjustments have to be made now? This Full Moon can be one of miracles, a cosmic alignment to your path of service.
In the days leading up to the Full Moon, tune in to your own atmosphere. Invite the healing energies, and surrender to them. I like simple rituals, like lighting a white 7-Day candle. Today, I'll be taking a break from the "news" and the EMF of the computer, to sit under my favorite trees. I'll have the Full Moon chart with me, and be writing some notes on it for tomorrow. Be well!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Today we all are 'putting on the green' for Eire (Ireland). In the old days you would get pinched if you didn't wear green. Eire is truly green, called also The Olde Sod, due to the expansive green grass. Golf courses are the best there, I hear (I don't golf). Corned Beef & cabbage- what a good meal with Irish soda bread, of course. Find a four leaf clover and make a wish come true, find a leprechaun and the gold at the end of a rainbow- all in all a lucky day!

3-3

This date is always revealing, this year, with the year being 2011, the double 3's and double 1's are significant in numerology. Recently there have been alot of duplicates, meaning time is changing and morphing into TIMELESS.

Astrologically Speaking

AN ASTROLOGICAL ALLEGORY

And it was morning as God stood before his twelve Children, and into each of them planted the seed of human life. One by one each child stepped forward to receive his or her appointed gift.....
To you Aries - I give my seed first that you might have the honor of planting it. That for every seed you plant one million more will multiply in your hand. You will not have time to see the seed grow, for everything you plant creates more that must be planted. You will be the first to penetrate the soil of men's minds with My Idea. But it is not your job to nourish the Idea, nor to question it. Your life is action, and the only action I ascribe to you is to begin making men aware of My Creation. For your good work I give you the virtue of Self-Esteem.... Quietly, Aries stepped back into place.
To you Taurus- I give the power to build the seed into substance. Your job is a great one requiring patience, for you must finish all that has been started, or the seeds will be wasted to the wind. You are not to question nor change your mind in the middle, nor to depend on others for what I ask you to do. For this I give you the gift of Strength. Use it wisely.... And Taurus stepped back into place.
To you Gemini - I give the questions without the answers, so that you may bring to all an understanding of what people see around them. You will never know why people speak or listen, but in your quest for the answer you will find my gift of Knowledge.... And Gemini stepped back into place.
To you Cancer - I scribe the task of teaching people about emotion. My Idea is for you to cause them laughter and tears so that all they see and think develops fullness from inside. For this I give you the gift of Family, that your fullness may multiply.... And Cancer stepped back into place.
To you Leo - I give the job of displaying my Creation in all its brilliance to the world. But you must be careful of pride and always remember that it is My Creation, not yours. For if you forget this, people will scorn you. There is much joy in the job I give you if you but do it well. For this you are to have the gift of Honor.... And Leo stepped back into place.
To you Virgo - I ask for an examination of all that humankind has done with my Creation. You are to scrutinize their ways sharply and remind them of their errors, so that through them my Creation may be perfected. For doing this I give you the gift of Purity of Thought.... And Virgo stepped back into place.
To you Libra - I give the mission of service, that man may be mindful of his duties to others. That he may learn cooperation, as well as the ability to reflect the other side of his actions. I will put you everywhere there is discord, and for your efforts I will give you the gift of Love.... And Libra stepped back into place.
To you Scorpio - I give a very difficult task. You will have the ability to know the minds of men, but I do not permit you to speak about what you learn. Many times you will be pained by what you see, and in your pain you will turn away from Me and forget that it is not I, but the perversion of My Idea, that is causing your pain. You will see much of man that you will come to know him as animal, and will wrestle so much with his animal instincts in yourself that you will lose your way; but when you finally come back to me, Scorpio, I have for you the supreme gift of Purpose.... And Scorpio stepped back into place.
To you Sagittarius - I ask that you make people laugh, for amidst their misunderstanding of My Idea they become bitter. Through laughter you are to give man hope, and through hope turn his eyes back to Me. You will touch many lives if but only for a moment, and you will know the restlessness in every life you touch. To you Sagittarius I give the gift of Infinite Abundance, that you may spread wide enough to reach into every corner of darkness and bring it light.... And Sagittarius stepped back into place.
Of you Capricorn - I ask the toil of your brow, that you might teach men to work. Your task is not an easy one, for you will feel all of man's labors on your shoulders; but for the yoke of your burdens I put the Responsibility of man in your hands.... And Capricorn stepped back into place.
To you Aquarius - I give the concept of future that man might see other possibilities. You will have the pain of loneliness, for I do not allow you to personalize My Love. But for turning man's eyes to new possibilities I give you the gift of Freedom, that in your liberty you may continue to serve mankind wherever he needs you.... And Aquarius stepped back into place.
To you Pisces - I give the most difficult task of all. I ask you to collect all of man's sorrow and return it to me. Your tears are to be ultimately my tears. The sorrow you will absorb is the effect of man's misunderstanding My Idea, but you are to give him compassion that he may try again. For this, the most difficult task of all, I give you the greatest gift of all. You will be the only one of my twelve children to understand me. But this gift of Understanding is for you, Pisces, for when you try to spread it to man he will not listen.... And Pisces stepped back into place.
Then God said, "You each have part of My Idea. You must not mistake that part for all of My Idea, nor may you desire to trade parts with each other. For each one of you is perfect, but you will not know that until all twelve of you are ONE. For then the whole of My Idea will be revealed to each of you."
And the Children left, each determined to do his job best that he might receive his gift. But none fully understood their task or gift, and when they returned, puzzled, God said...
"You each believe that the other gifts are better. Therefore, I will allow you to trade."
And for the moment each Child was elated as he considered all the possibilities of his new mission. But God smiled as he said...
"You will return to Me many times asking to be relieved of your mission, and each time I will grant you your wish. You will go through countless incarnations before you complete the original mission I have prescribed to you. I give you countless time in which to do it, but only when it is done, can you be with Me."

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day, in this month of Love, in this year of Friendship, in this 21st Century, in this wild, wonderful Universe of never ending Unconditional Love! Be Mine! Be my Valentine!

Happy Valentine Eve

I usually celebrate Valentine's Day on the Eve of Valentine's Day. The reason is not obscure- simply the celebration is less hectic when started early, and reservations are easier to get. In fact, I remember a particular Valentine Eve, when a snowstorm came in suddenly on the 13th, we couldn't get reservations for the 14th at a nice restaurant, but we got the 13th, due to the storm. When we arrived in our 4WD, we were the only ones in the entire place! Of course, not only did we recieve very special VIP service from the only waiter there, but the owner and the chef came out to talk to us and tell us how happy they were that we were there. We even offered them a ride home, due to the storm, but they said that they had to stay and get ready for the crowd they were going to have the next day.
