July Energy Update from Newsletter

On the other hand, those individuals who are conscious of their evolutionary path may find themselves presented with great opportunities, abundance and epiphanies. This can be a time of inspired creativity and advancement.

These eclipse cycles pressure individuals to make choices, causing new parallel paths to be created while old parallels merge. When this happens you may experience opportunities opening up, or people and situations from the past suddenly appear.

If you tune in, you can actually "feel" these new realities being created as well as the past blending in to your current life. In the next month and a half "choice points" may be presented to you which will determines which way your life is headed.

As was discussed in June's newsletter, the opportunities for spiritual illumination are increased now and until the end of the year, and the eclipses can influence this energy as well. If you desire a stronger connection to Spirit in all areas of your life, including manifesting, continue to make a connection to Higher Self through meditation. Reading spiritual/metaphysical books is great, but nothing beats actually making the connection. Consider the use of Mugwort at this time.

Now is also the time to look at balancing the masculine and feminine energies within. The human system carries both, and to express both sides in a balanced rhythmic way is important for inner peace. Is there balance between your rest and work? Do open to receive as much as you give? Do you cultivate your mind and your heart equally? We live in a very masculine culture, so cultivating the feminine does take intention.

Michael Jackson and the Chiron Return

Throughout a lifetime an individual will go through several key life passages, which are ultimately designed to help an individual progress in consciousness and connect to Spirit. These three main passages are astrologically described as the Saturn Return (when Saturn returns to itsoriginal point in the birth chart) at approximately age 29, the Uranus Opposition around ages 38-42, and the Chiron Return (Chiron returns to its birth position) at 50. These powerful initiations put pressure on the personality to resolve issues of ego, allowing greater spiritual connection.
When confronted with these pressures, the personality can do one of two things: face it or avoid it at all cost. Michael Jackson was at one such initiation point, the Chiron Return.
Chiron is the “Wounded Healer” in mythology, and it's placement in the birth chart represents the type of “wounding” an individual has chosen for a lifetime. Before coming into a body, the soul will choose imprinters, mostly parents, who will assist in providing the adequate imprinting to create the “wound.” Therefore, childhood experiences become the key to discovering the wound. For example, if a soul wants to resolve addiction issues, it may chose to be born into a family of alcoholics, thus getting the perfect "wound" to be able to work on its project. An advanced soul will overcome the wound and then help others overcome their addictions, transmuting the wound into a gift.

From the Michael Teaching perspective, Jackson was a 5th level Mature Artisan with a King essence twin. His personality had a Goal of Acceptance, Spiritualist Attitude, Passion Mode, and Chief Feature of Self-deprecation and Arrogance. He also had a very etheric, frail Solar/Neptune body type with high female energy. All of the above components indicate a personality who deeply wants to be loved and accepted, is extremely sensitive and gentle, and has a difficult time with confrontation and harshness. Artisans live to create, and Michael Jackson gave himself the gift of music and vision. His high level of sensitivity assisted his musical genius, but was also his greatest challenge.

When looking at an individual¹s life, the gender that is chosen is an important aspect for lessons and wounding. Because Michael had high female energy, he tended to identify with the feminine and reject his masculine side. We are not talking about his persona in music videos where he looks so macho, but his inner world. In his later years critics would comment that he looks more like a woman with each passing year. Choosing a male body meant Jackson wanted to work on his male archetypes and past life male issues.

Michael's main imprinter for male archetypes was his father, Joe Jackson. Joe demonstrates the classic wounded male; that is someone who is a cold, domineering, abusive, heartless perpetrator. Why would Michael choose such a situation? Because in many of Michael¹s past lives as an Infant, Baby and Young soul, Michael demonstrated such ruthlessness as a man. We all create karma, and it's normal and what this game is about. However, at a soul level, Michael rejects this aspect, which means he has not healed and forgiven himself. It’s like throwing the baby out with the bath water. “I will get rid of my male energy because it's bad.” Essentially, if you deny an aspect of yourself, you will manifest it in your outer world. Your “denial” will be in your face. Ultimately, Michael needed to love and accept this shadow side instead of looking for acceptance elsewhere. Of course, it is much more complex than this, and there was definitely karma between Michael and his father.

The positive side of Joe Jackson was his driving energy to make The Jacksons a solid success. His concrete goals and objectives reflect the positive aspects of male energy. Just try to get anything accomplished with diffuse, unfocused female energy and you will understand. This part of Joe's imprint gave Michael the necessary tools to become a success when he went out on his own; that positive male energy was integrated into his high female system. So while Michael got the “bad,” he also got the “good.”

The trouble is Michael never really looked at his wounding. He distracted himself with opulence and fame. Spending his life avoiding the pain at the Neverland Ranch only attracted the same kind of male attacks in the form of lawsuits. His painful inner child looked to children for love and affection because of his distrust of “authority figures.” Michael's mother was complicit in his wounding because she did nothing to stop Joe from abusing the kids, which created a betrayal from the feminine.

While Michael's Overleaves were perfect for the talented musician creator that he was, they were too “soft” to overcome such a high level of pain. Remember, when we set up our lifetimes, we choose Overleaves on the Astral Plane we think will work, but may not work in real life. It's not until the late Mature/early Old levels that souls are experienced enough to choose Overleaves wisely. Had Michael had the Goal of Dominance or the Mode of Aggression, he might have been better able to overcome his problems.

Enter the Chiron Return and why Michael checked out. First, Michael spent a lifetime in denial, so he wasn't prepared to deal with his wounding at this time. To be completely healed, one has to be brutally honest with oneself, and that is something Michael was unable to do. Second, his chosen Overleaves didn¹t have the “muscle” to overcome his wounding even if hetried. Also, on a personality level, he was terrified of aging. He didn’t want to give up his “youth,” even if it did come from plastic surgery. Lastly, with three eclipses approaching, this would be a perfect time to release the body. He tried to avoid the Chiron Return with a world tour. However we believe it was an act of Self-destruction, or what some call a death wish, because he was pushing himself hard, not eating well and dealing with his “pain” with lots of drugs. In leaving the body, he liberated himself from the pain, but not from the lesson.

As a side note, Michael's essence twin is Diana Ross. They have been friends for a lifetime. She is the King and he's the Artisan. Together they are about mastery of creativity. She will be profoundly affected by his leaving.

Michael gave us so much. Let's give him thanks and a blessing and wish him safe journey.

Veggie Garden Update

Here are the latest shots of my veggie garden. With my travel and remodeling, I have been busy and haven’t had time to “walk the land.” My earth spirit helpers have indicated this is an important means of connecting to the earth. When I do it, I am in touch with all the fairies, devas and have a good idea what’s going my garden and its needs.

Being human I got distracted, only to discover the sprinklers weren’t working on my squash plants. Yikes! Poor things were droopy and yellow. I pictured them before planting as a beautiful flowing river of green leaves, and as you can see they are a bit pitiful. I am currently nurturing them back to health.

The rest of the veggies seem to be well. My heirloom tomato plants have lots of tomatoes, and the red cherry and yellow plum tomatoes have lots of “babies.”

The biggest producer so far has been the white zuccinni and the cucumber. The eggplant is doing well also. Check out my early summer “bountiful” basket of basil, tomatoes and cucumbers.

My Trip to Oregon

Here are a few pictures of my trip to Oregon. My dad, Frank, took me on a geology tour of the Florence, Oregon area one day because my dad is a retired Professor of Geology, and still loves to immerse himself in his passion. Florence is right in the middle of Oregon’s coastline. It is such a beautiful area with lots of lakes, trees and sand dunes.

We headed north on Highway 101, stopping off at the Sea Lion Caves sight to see if our “pals”were lying on the rocks below. Sure enough, there was quite a gathering of huge bodies lying on around, making barking noises and rolling off into the water. Here is a picture o

f my dad with his back facing north towards the Heceta Lighthouse, one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world.

We then turned south of Florence towards Siltcoos Lake, taking back roads to out-of-the-way places. We stopped to look at Scottish cattle in a beautiful green pasture. Their faces and demeanor was so sweet and gentle. They came right up to the fence, unlike other cows that run away.
Right next to the pasture we saw a beaver dam. I

t looks like a big pile of sticks, but believe me, it’s anything but a pile. Several years ago my dad’s wife Shirley and I had to take one down on their property, and it took us forever! The beavers have a way of weaving branches together that is next to impossible to take apart.

OK, on with the tour. We then stop at Siltcoos Station, which is an old railroad stop along the lake. The train doesn’t run through anymore and it’s been turned into a small resort with cabins. I took a picture of my dad next to a tree that had two bat boxes mounted in the branches. I really want to get a bat box and support bats in my area; I’m just not sure where to put it. I actually saw one flying around our house the other night.
Traveling with my dad is always interesting because he likes to stop along the way and get to know people. We

were driving along on a dirt road in outer-whatever, and he’ll say, “Let’s stop over and see Mrs. So-n-so.” Then he’ll proceed to tell me her life story. If this were one time, I wouldn’t be surprised, but I swear he knows everybody in the county. On our trip we talked at length with a forestry guy, chatted with a gentleman and his wife from the UK at the Sea Lion Caves, discussed fishing with the resort owner at Siltcoos Lake, and asked workmen all about the remodel of a dock. I also got the

skinny of Oregon’s geology.

I want to end this by showing some pictures of Sutton Lake and the view of it from my dad’s home.

I got up early one morning and took this very serene picture of a mallard on the lake.
PS – For those of you who know me well, I did get all the huckleberry pie I wanted, thanks to Shirley. Yum!

A Surprise Visit from the Yeti

         After receiving a bottle of Earth Balancing Trinity from my fairy friend Morgana, I immediately set out to do a ceremony with it on our property. I literally opened the package from my stack of mail, read the instructions and immediately felt compelled and inspired to use it. The website says Trinity should be used in a pattern of 3, such as 3 drops in a triangular pattern.

         I decided to walk in a triangular pattern to each point on the Bagua, the eight-sided symbol used in feng-shui. Each point represents a different area of life. Whenever I do a ceremony, I invoke my guides as well as those of my husband Sam and our two daughters, Kirsten and Sarah. At each point I asked the spirit guides and nature spirits to assist us all to our highest possible path.

         I started at the Career point, asking for help in that area and sending a blessing to the earth, and then moved diagonally to the Wealth corner, over to the Partnership corner, and then back to Career. I next went to the Fame area, diagonally to Helpful People, over to the Knowledge corner and back to Fame. I had two points left, Children and Family. I decided to walk from Career in a small triangle shape to Children and Family, and back. At each point I asked for help and blessings in that area of our lives, and made sure to give thanks and blessings to Mother Earth for all she provides. I felt completely energized by this experience and used the drops when planting my garden later in the month.

         I went along my merry way, until a week later I had an amazing experience that has changed how I look at the world. I dreamed I was watching TV in our current living room. I looked over to the French doors in the kitchen. I saw a very large, seven-foot plus, gorilla-type being come through the door like a ghost.(picture from History channel) And when it showed up standing in the kitchen appeared very solid. It just stared at me with a stoic look. I was terrified and felt paralyzed and unable to move my body. In my dream I understood somehow that I was awake, but that my body was still asleep and that is why I felt paralyzed.

         Then another large creature plus a smaller one came through the door the exact same way. The first one emanated energy of “male,” and the second large one felt like a female with a child.  I felt from her that she knew I was absolutely terrified, so she came over to comfort me.  I watched her walk towards me emanating such kind and gentle caring for me. She exuded extreme love and compassion, and seemed genuinely worried about scaring me. She sat down next to me and put this huge arm around my shoulders for comfort. I “felt” her hand on my shoulder.

         Then the baby came over and seemed agitated that the “mother” was giving me attention, just like a jealous child would do. It started to fling its arms in my direction. The mother blocked the baby’s actions with patient affection. For this entire time, my body felt paralyzed. She mentally let me know she was very sorry to have scared me but that this was the best way to contact me because to come in person would have been to terrifying for me. Was she ever right! She said they had come to etherically, and kept telling me she was sorry for my upset. Then I woke up.

         I lay there terrified in bed thinking about the dream. I thought these creatures must be the Abominable Snowmen or the Yeti. I saw a program on them once on the Science channel. As I was thinking about this, the mother’s consciousness came into my head, trying to soothe me that this was real and that I did have this experience.

                  Some other part of my mind kept telling me I was nuts, maybe making this all up. But my body didn’t believe my mind! These beings were as real as anything else on the physical plane. My curiosity kicked in. Hmmm, I thought, they seem like the Yeti.

         Immediately it came to my mind that yes, they were, and she explained they were an ancient race of beings that had been on Earth since its creation. They are somehow stewards or caretakers of this planet. They were put here to look after and monitor the Earth. She said they are here to take over if humans couldn’t fix the global warming issues, or something to that effect. I didn’t really understand this part.

         I asked mentally why investigators never found any skeletal remains or living sites of the Yeti anywhere. She indicated they are etheric beings that move through dimensions, and live underneath the ground. She said that while they sometimes come on to the physical plane, or third dimension, for some kind of work, but they don’t die here. I wondered if they even died. I’m still not sure, but I got the impression they live an extremely long time. I got a visual of her walking effortlessly through the earth, like the way we walk through air.  I witnessed it when they walked into my kitchen.  

         I understand this conceptually, but to actually experience it, to witness it, is a totally different thing. I really understand now how an etheric being moves through time and space. We continued having a telepathic conversation.

         I wondered why they were contacting me. She said that when I do my invocations or when I meditate, that I call them up. I always invoke my guides and angels, and also the earth spirits.  She said she considers herself to be an “earth spirit.”

         I asked here name, but she said I wouldn’t be able to pronounce it or even understand it. I had recently been watching an HBO Special called “The 1st Ladies Detective Agency,” and she reminded me of the lead character, a beautiful African woman who is loving, kind, gentle and compassionate. I asked the Yeti female if I may call her Mamalu. I made it up but it sounds close some name in the show.

         The Yeti radiated joy and love, and said that would be fine and that some of the DNA of her race had actually been used to create the African race, and this pleased her that I made the connection.

         She said we could maintain a telepathic connection and seemed eager to stay in contact. I tossed and turned the rest of the night. I kept running it through my mind so I wouldn’t forget. When I woke up in the morning, her awareness was still there. 

         I believe the Earth Balancing Trinity may have played a part in my connection to Mamalu. There is an Andean orchid named trichocedros parviflorum added to this formula that promotes a powerful connection to nature. The description of this flower essence says, “The unseen world becomes palpable.” For more info about this product www.staressence.com  . More about Mamalu to come.

 

Garden Update and The Birds!

 I love watching my garden grow.  

Now that the weather is warmer, it seems like the squash and pumpkins grow a foot a day.

 I actually got a few 

strawberries, and they were sweet, sweet, sweet.  Here are some pictures of its development. 

The most amazing event going on right now are all the birds nesting

in our front yard. We have two House Finch nests (both in one hanging flower pot), a California Towhee nest and a Mockingbird nest in the hedge, 

as well

 as the usual Acorn

 Woodpecker nest in one of the front trees.

 Several cats in the neighborhood have discovered these nests and slink around the bushes trying to get at them. The Mockingbird nest is actually within reach of these hungry felines. It is also situated in such a way that I can look down on it, so I took a picture of the little fledglings. They are three of them sitting together. The other nest with the little blue eggs is one of the House Finch nests. We can always tell whenever a cat is around because the squawking level hits a fever pitch! I feel like I’m on bird patrol at the house making sure all the babies are safe.

May Energy Update from Newsletter

Your physical plane world may show up as follows:

• lots of miscommunications
• quirky computer problems
• phones acting up or not working
• unusual mechanical breakdowns
• electrical problems
• life just feels out of whack and off center

On a personal level you may experience these symptoms:

• ringing or fluttering in the ears
• extreme tiredness
• persistent cold or flu-like symptoms
• overall nervousness and agitation
• unusual sleep patterns
• dizziness
• panic attacks
• sensations of an electrical current running through your body
• lack of connection to yourself or Spirit
• out-of-the-ordinary headaches
• no sense of purpose
• spontaneous out-of-body experiences
  

This unusual energy has been going on since last month and will continue off and on until late August. As these higher frequencies continue, intuition and psychic abilities will be heightened; there will be a greater perception of fourth or astral dimensional realities, and a stronger connection to Divine Self. Your awareness of guides, angels, and earth spirits may become more powerful and palpable. You may see angels or your guides for the first time. Your overall perception of life will change dramatically. Flower essences, energy balancing work, acupuncture, homeopathic remedies, and Reiki are just some activities you can do to work with your body. As always, connecting to Nature is a great way to balance and calm the system. Go with the flow and don’t struggle to “fix it.”

Swine Flu Epidemic

The entire global population is affected by this cosmic energy. When high levels of external chi or energy enter the body, it causes what Chinese medicine calls a “wind invasion.” This chi invasion throws the body off balance, lowering the immune system, often leading to a cold or flu. When the body feels under attack, it brings up an instinctive fear leaving the body more weakened, and so the cycle goes. Humanity is susceptible at this time to diseases due to this shift in frequency. Fear about an epidemic is making matters worse. This current outbreak looks as though it resolves itself in a month or so. Keep yourself grounded, peaceful, and connected to spirit. Maintain balanced thinking and watch not to get engulfed in fear.
