beliefs by country

I am in Austria now for over a week and am deeply struck by how powerful different beliefs operate in different locations. I also want to mention that I had a very hard time accessing my blog and am not able to use my own computer here so I may not post again until my return in mid August. Plus no spell check so take it as it comes.
A few brief examples. My daughter developed a fever and relatives within hours asked if we should take her to a doctor and hovered over her with various medicine. Their concern was very touching yet normally my daugter recovers within days from her rare illnesses and without doctors or medicine, only with immune boosters. She was almost frightened by their deep concern. Today a relative was very surprised that I would allow her out in the wind as that is believed to create or contribute to the flu. I also allowed her to cross the Danube on a small boat and then eat an ice cream, all major no nos here when recovering from illness. I realized that without cultural and community support it was harder for both of us to know she would recover quickly without a doctor- she has but it was a bit more of an effort. I have also been reflecting on the support of a close community; the flip side is the feeling of being bound and held to a certain image and idea of reality. Here I feel a much deeper sense of being held and yet it also feels more difficult to be free to perceive myself as I intend rather than as others see me. I want to develop this theme further and will later. How do we have committed relationships were we experience the absolute freedom to be authentic?
O.K. I am having wierd messages pop up in German and I have no idea what they mean. I'll say goodnight for now. Hopefully, things are feeling a bit easier for all of you, as they are for me. I have had so many awarenesses and the deepest feeling of being at home in myself that I have ever know. It is impossible to put into words yet it feels delicious. I also want to thank my friend Uschi for being the response to my prayers today when she led me to the answer to a question I have been struggling with for almost two years. I prayed and intended to get an answer two days ago, and, voila! it has arrived. Beloveds, may the road rise up to meet you until we connect again.

Beloved,

I feel called today to honor your presence in our blog family. Thank you for being part of the family!
with deep love to all of you! savannah

adapting our nervous systems

I just wanted to quickly pass on some information before I leave for Europe in two days. My understanding of all that is occurring from the solar flares, to the magnetic pole shifts, is creating a new frequency which can create almost an assault on our nervous system if we are not at the same frequency. The intent is a good one to bring us to the vibration of light and Love yet it can be very challenging and lead to physical pain, anxiety, exhaustion and so on. I just read a book that was very helpful to me, Barbara  Marciniak's, Bringers of the Dawn.  I must warn you the book is very far out. Someone gave it to me years ago and I threw it in a drawer thinking, no way, jose, this is wayyyyy wacky. Now since it totally matches and confirms all my intuition, experiences and awareness, it felt very good to me. Only look at it if you are willing to consider very bizarre realities. I suddenly had a strong intuition to look for another book by the same author and quickly sensed where to look. Instead I found this book (for me to find anything lately is a miracle in itself) and realized I'd only looked at a few pages before tossing it away in dismissal. I love how intuition works because reading this book calmed me down totally and validated my awareness, insights and understanding. The book, channeled from the Pleiadians, suggested a number of things to help us recalibrate to the new energy and minimize any adjustment pains. I have incorporated a number of things from other sources too. The tips are:
- begin each day with an intention of what you wish to experience that day. Declare what it is you desire to experience. Color it with as much emotion and feeling as possible. Imagine yourself as unlimited and living a life beyond your wildest dreams. Go for it! I intend each morning to have a joyful, loving, energized, delightful day, extending love at every opportunity. Spend five minutes defining your intent and your reality. If possible, do two more times. (Three systems I know use this technique.)
- deep breathing
- imagining a pillar of light pouring into your crown chakra and then spilling out through your solar plexus and creating a luminous egg of protection around you. I have also heard one should imagine the light as violet in color.
- When you feel any discomfit, intend that the energy be transmuted with ease, grace, safety and harmony. You can even say out loud, "I intend for this energy of fear, (anger, hate, despair, exhaustion) to be transmuted into light and love with ease..."
- ground yourself. Sit on the ground, place yourself in water, send time in nature, walk outside, exercise, yoga.
- get bodywork. Information is stored in bone and bodywork can help update you more quickly.
- trust and fully allow your emotions
- shift any belief that holds you in limitation
- process your "stuff" but don't dwell on it
- create an altar with symbols of your deepest intentions and dreams
- use stones, crystals, whatever gives you a sense of energy or power
- use music and sound to liberate yourself; toning as a group is extremely powerful
one more suggestion I offer with caution as I have heard pro and con on this one
- spinning to the left with arms outstretched, building up to 21 times (number suggested by the five rites) or 33 times (suggested by this book) to get your chakras spinning faster
I also recommend the book The Five Rites which is an ancient system intended to energize and revitalize the body. The techniques are spoken of as the fountain of youth. I have been doing them lately.

Just some quick tips to help you surf the waves of energy with more grace. Do your best to enjoy the ride!! Happy 4th!

four keys

Wow, for me the energy has really intensified. It is critical for me to remember this has been anticipated and predicted by the Mayan calendar and many others and that it is occurring by design with a wonderful intent- to bring us to unity consciousness, to living in unconditional Love. The birth into this new consciousness is challenging and the pain may be intense but hang on, it is all for the good. I will write later about my understanding of the Mayan calendar but for now know that we are three days short of being  half way through the last and final "underworld". This final underworld is called the universal underworld and it is bring very intense energies of transformation which are swiftly sweeping us into a new world. Hang on to your hats. TRUST that it is for the good. My understanding is that we each must choose to be here and join in Unity/Love consciousness. If you are onboard with that, it is all good. Below are the four keys from the Way of Mastery, compiled by my friends Lisette and scott from their group on the book. We are in this together. Know I am holding each of you in my heart.
The end of the Mayan calendar is October 28, 2011, according to most experts I read, not December 21, 2012. It is about a huge and blessed shifted in consciousness not about fear and Armageddon as Hollywood and others present it. DON'T BUY INTO FEAR. There is only Love or fear and our task now is to stay in Love. Know that you are protected and safe. Know that all will be well!

" We have been asked to use the “Keys to the Kingdom” as we move into the way of Transformation:  Allowance, to remember that the Spirit is working in every one. And that all things, no matter how they seem to us, can be used by Spirit to bring them home.  Acceptance, remember that what others believe they are experiencing is real for them, telling the child that it’s not the end of the world doesn’t always help. The help needs to be at the level of the perceived problem.  Surrender, give all decisions and interpretations to the Holy Spirit first, then listen and respond from a loving heart. Remember that it is not just unkind to judge some one else’s experience, (including your own) it is impossible… Embrace, this is the measure of allowance and acceptance, the proof of forgiveness. The ability to embrace others or ourselves as truly innocent and the behaviors as neutral is the evidence that our forgiveness is complete. Remember that the only meaning anything has is the meaning we give it. Hold others in your heart and Love them for who they are….we know how. Transcend the judgments that separate others from us and, most of all, separate us from our Spirits vision of all things... In truth, it is  simply a willingness to surrender, so turn it over to your connection with Love.  People will move forward at their own pace, we can’t do it for them, we can only offer our love and compassion when asked. So we accept others for what they say they are (it’s real for them) and we do not judge them by our standards for we know not what they do… Trust the Spirit in others and know that the parts of them that are hard for us to Love will show up.  They are a reflection of an unforgiveness in ourselves… all ways…To be able to accept them as they are, is done for our own peace of mind. We don’t have to join them in their behavior. Be gentle, compassionate and even, at times, silent. Hold the Spirit in our Hearts and ask to see the Spirit in them.  We just need to accept them as they are. A handy tool to keep in mind is to hold this thought:

Imagine then, being able to experience whatever arises without losing the sense of spaciousness, innocence and ease…for such a quality of awareness is perfect mastery. Within it are discovered perfect peace, perfect freedom, perfect joy and uninterrupted communion with all creation. And if you would well receive it, that quality of feeling intimately one with all of creation is what you have been seeking as a soul since first the identification with creation called ego began. P17 wom

Allow others to grow and trust the Spirit in them. We have been asked to allow, surrender, embrace and transcend. Sometimes we feel tested and challenged with one of these qualities. Then it’s time to look within ourselves and realize that:

YOU ARE UNLIMITED SPIRIT” p154 wom

exhaustion and rest

Have you been feeling incredibly tired and exhausted lately? If so, you are not alone. Almost everyone I talk to is wiped out periodically. I talked to a dear friend yesterday who worried she needed to go to the doctor. I don’t think so. I think it is kick ass energy of transformation (again) that is the culprit. We have had several eclipses and then the solstice and they seem to have come in with a bang. So many people I have spoken to were concerned and thought it was just happening to them so I wanted to share my experience in case it applies to you too. I have been absolutely depleted several days, then had a few hours of rage during the eclipse last Wednesday, then intense fear three days ago on Monday. I talked to a few people who had the same experience at exactly the same time so I’m thinking it is these bloody #$%^%$^ energies afoot. I am giving everyone affected in this way a prescription using any authority I might have with my credentials: REST!!!!! As much as possible, as often as possible I prescribe naps, hammock time and rest. See you on the other side, I have to go lay in my hammock. Love ya!!

Happy Solstice!

I just received this powerful information about pulling in light energy during the solstice today. I feel called to pass it on, for the empowerment of us all. See if it fits for you. May this day fill you with the light and power of Love and the Truth of Who you are.
 many blessings  savannah


Dear Ones,

The Divine Light for this Solstice empowerment acts as a catalyst to carry unified consciousness throughout the planet. Use the observance of this date, June 21, as an opportunity to truly experience the many possibilities opening up during this powerful year of change. The Divine Light available on this day empowers both hemispheres of the earth. It carries a transmission across time and space to awaken the cellular structure of the human body to a higher frequency of energy. The energy carried in the Light stimulates the impulse for mass awakening that was encoded in the DNA of every person born during the evolutionary times that have transpired since 1945. If you are reading this message, you have it.

Receiving the download of the Solstice energy allows a sense of oneness, as well as alignment with the Source of the highest Light there is. Awakened consciousness comes with this deep connection. If you can place yourself in the field of this energy during the activation of this 24 hour period, the resulting consciousness from the transmission of energy can empower your life with a new sense of wholeness and purpose.

These Light frequencies are a part of the massive wave of energy sweeping across the globe. There are no limitations to this energy source so your conscious, positive direction is invaluable. Gather together with others to share the Light and create a conscious connection to a wave of awakening to the One Source of Divinity, Love and Healing. Direct this Light into the world with your prayers and intentions. Receive the Light deeply into your being. Bask in the Light, allow it to recharge your deepest soul’s yearning, then use this gift to serve on the planet.

Drink in the Light, as you attune consciously with the intention to be empowered by this Solstice activation. Absorbing Light with every cell of your body, breathing in Light with every pore, directing your body to use the Light for your healing, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. This activation can be carried into your life to create a blessing of great, unbounded good. Know that the Divine Light massing to download on to the planet on June 21 carries Love and Intelligence from the Divine Source for you to use.

This is a rare opportunity to receive an empowerment, that when dedicated to the conscious awakening of the human heart and mind, can spark the evolution of the planetary being as well. Use this solstice as a catalyst for every area of your life, and for the good of the planet. When you volunteered to be on earth during this precious moment in time, a driving force within your soul was set into motion. The call you hear from within to do something with your life, that restlessness you feel inside, can be answered very simply:

•    Show up at every opportunity to share Divine Light within one another.
•    Create your intention to live in harmony with the Divine Source of all Light.
•    Stay with a daily spiritual practice that receives and uses Divine Light.
•    Join with others in the conscious awakening prayers and direct the energy from the Light into planetary awareness.These actions create a positive direction for high-energy frequencies that can become very uncomfortable when not used consciously as awakening elements. Here is one suggestion for a prayer you may offer on June 21:

Divine Presence, Masters and Great Beings of Divine Light, Angels and Archangels, Beloved I AM,

Thank you for this opportunity to receive Divine Light into my life and into the world. May I be a pure receiver of this energy, in a way my body is able to integrate and use at a deeper level than ever before. Please bring this Light energy into every cell and fiber of my being to be used for healing and for my evolution. I ask to be a clear and radiant channel for this Divine Light to move deeply into the Earth for the healing of this planet.

May the energy of this powerful Divine Light reach into the heart and mind of each person, and connect them to the awakening consciousness that is transpiring right now on earth. May this awakening of the Light of Peace and Love contribute to raising the consciousness of all beings and assist the evolution of the planet. May all live in Harmony with Divine Love from the Highest Source of Light that exists. Be it so. Thank you.

You will be joining with the forces of Heaven in this process. June 21, 2011 is an opportunity of Divine Awakening in which your soul is being called to participate. The Activation of Divine Light this Solstice Day can create a wave of healing never before experienced.

You are an instrument for Divine Light. This is your chance to shine. Receive Light. Send Light. Be Light.

community

I live in the most extraordinary community. Every day multiple wonderful events are occurring despite the fact that the area is not that largely populated. This is the most alive place I have ever lived. Some people say it is the gold. We live in what is called gold country, not too far from where gold was first discovered in California. We also live very close to the Yuba river which many people here appreciate with an attitude approaching reverence.


In the last three days I was at two wonderful events. The first was called an urn burn. An amazing man named Liam had the desire to enjoy his two loves simultaneously-fire and water. He came up with the idea of creating a structure to contain a bonfire on a structure that floats. He created a gorgeous metal urn depicting the four elements- fire, air, earth, water. The sculpting is intricate and beautiful and it floats! So we had a potluck then went with canoes and kayaks out onto a lake pulling this structure. After it was very dark, he lit it and we spoke of our deepest passions and other truths, sharing poetry and our essence. The dam spillway created the roar of a waterfall while the stars sparkled their joy. Liam kept bringing the conversation away from the trivial, back to the our most important truths. The evening was unique and delightful.


Last night I went to a summer solstice ritual at the river with my temple sisters. The river was roaring with snow melt making it hard to hear over the thunderous sound. Many of us bathed naked in the river after our hot hike. A spiral of stone and rose petals was created. Then we welcomed the four directions and above and below. We went around the circle and spoke our temple name and what was currently alive in us. It was a mixture of great sorrows and joys. We then chose rocks and threw them in the river along with all we were ready to release. Mine included heaviness, despair, bitterness, resentment, conditional love, regret, resistance and deadness. We followed up by throwing in rocks to represent our passions and what we are pulling in. Mine included joy, unconditional love, passion, luscious sensuality, aliveness, seeing my blog and my work reaching all those intending to release the obstacles to Love, connection, community, living as and with the Beloved, honesty, authenticity, acceptance and allowance. The biggest YES! was when one sister, Prema, said she was pulling in a life beyond her wildest dreams. We all jumped on that bandwagon too.


I have spent years in isolation, laying on my hammock or sitting on my chair exploring my inner reality. I am happy to report that that period of isolation seems to be coming to an end. Friends are coming over today, other friends probably tomorrow and for sure different friends for each of the four days after. So many wonderful alive people in this community. We are indeed blessed. I recognize how important community is to me and I am so grateful others share my passion and place their energies in creating the connection of community. YES!


with gratitude for my blog community,
