August Energy Continued from Newsletter.



The Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius on August 16th provides an opportunity to open to higher consciousness and a connection to Oneness. The Higher Intellectual Center is activated for many, and provides an opening for spiritual wisdom from the Higher Self. Have you been asking your guides and angels for help with something? Giving yourself meditative, quiet time will help create the space for the answers you seek. As far as physical plane manifesting, energy in August will be felt as surges of movement forward followed by stagnation. The Michael Teaching describes this as moving back and forth between Caution and Power Modes. You might the energy as stepping on the gas, then stepping on the brake, and so on. This might feel uncomfortable and even frustrating. Watch any impulsiveness if you get stuck, especially for those in Impatience. Think it out, take your time, and be deliberate if you want to make changes. As the economy continues to contract, stay connected to your dreams and core values. Your Higher Self will support you in your security and survival through these times if you listen. Also, in an Instinctive Year, due to the level of fear and scarcity, you will see a lot more scams and get-rich-schemes. Desperate people will resort to unethical activities to con individuals of their money and resources. Keep an eye out. The Fall Equinox coming up brings in new energies and a shift in directioncase studies, success stories, testimonials or examples of how others used your product or service successfully. Solicit material from clients and vendors, or ask your readers to write. It's a win-win! You get relevant content, and they get exposure.

Give Up the Ghost!

James is a huggable, loveable gent that I have been working with for several years. He lives in a charming Victorian four-plex in the upper Fillmore District of Pacific Heights in San Francisco. He was remarking to me how many problems he had with one of his units. He indicated he always felt very uncomfortable walking into the apartment and had problems with tenants.
Even though a very attractive space with beautiful natural light, James said it felt lonely, uninviting and forlorn. He also indicated the last few tenants had developed drug or alcohol problems, which seemed like a strange coincidence. These problems caused emotional and financial hardship for James, and he was very concerned when the apartment needed to be rented again. He asked me to investigate the problems and do a clearing and blessing of the property.
James also stated he never felt safe and secure in his own apartment downstairs and the property as a whole. He was not worried about robbers or prowlers; he just felt the building was somehow unsafe. It was always in his mind that he should move because he never felt at home there.
Generally before I step foot on a property, I meditate on it first to check out the energy and invoke my guides and angels for support and protection should I encounter anything of a shadow nature. I meditated and then headed out on a sunny Friday for my next land adventure.
The first thing I did was walk around the neighborhood to check out the surrounding influences on the Victorian. It was set back from the street just a bit, which was perfect because it created protection from the hectic surrounding businesses. I fired up my sage stick, which is so huge I always think of the State of Liberty and her torch, and started walking through the backyard garden, invoking clearing and healing as I went.
The fairy garden had been recently planted, and it was clear to me the gardener that James hired loved the plants, the land and what he did. The energy felt clear except for the landing that came off the master bedroom. I sensed a lot of fear there. I asked James about it, and he said he did not like walking down the steps because he was afraid he might fall. I cleared the fear energy, and then we placed large planters on the steps and landing to create the feeling of being “held in” and safe.
Next, I moved through James’s apartment waving my torch the whole way. There was a blockage of energy near the front entryway, which I cleared. It felt like an old thoughtform, but I really was not sure. It left. I continued upstairs to clear the staircase and landing. That is when the strangest thing happened.
I suddenly started hearing the music of an old-fashioned player piano as well as people laughing, talking and being rowdy. I mentally saw visuals of a time in the early 1800s and the people who had lived in the house. It appeared to have been some kind of boardinghouse with lots of people coming and going. I then moved into the apartment in question.
When I first opened the door, I immediately felt the heavy energies there. The last two tenants in particular had many problems, so I spent time clearing their emotions, thoughts and intentions. After that layer cleared, I experienced a deep sadness, desperation and pain. I intuited its source and came into contact with a deceased man who had died of alcoholism in the bedroom. His spirit was stuck in the pain of that life and he needed help crossing over. After invoking his guides and angels to assist his release, he left with gratitude that he was free to move on. I can only conclude his energy was creating and attracting people of like vibration. I can always tell when a place is “cleared” because it literally “lightens up.”
After clearing all the unsupportive energies, I created an invocation for a healing and blessing for all who live in the building. This included calling in the angel of the building. I believe every structure has an angelic overseer and it is important to give thanks for their help. (More about this in another blog.) I then thanked the garden fairies and earth spirits and asked them for their energetic support of the land and building. I asked James to spend time connecting with them to create a community of cooperation. I was done.
James then held an open house to rent the apartment in question. When he walked into the apartment, there was no foreboding energy. He remarked that even though the blinds were drawn and the apartment was dim and empty of furniture, he felt an overall peace and wellbeing. The open house was extremely successful in that James got a great tenant on the first day of showing.
After the clearing and blessing, James says, “I feel at home in my apartment and no longer feel like a stranger or that I should leave. I feel at home now. Everything is peaceful. I do not feel like my house is falling down around me anymore. The building actually feels structurally sound, even though it needs repairs. I think Holly’s work overall is very worthwhile and a gift to the universe. She heals the split between solar and lunar forces.”
.”
I love and enjoy doing this new work because it is about healing spirit, self and nature. Please let me know if you have any questions or want my service!

Free and Clear Hawaiian Style


I wanted to let you know about a recent land clearing in Hawaii. On my trip to the Big Island, I stayed with a good friend LaRissa, who also does land clearings. On a very voggy (volcanic smog pouring from Kilauea) day LaRissa, Sio, her companion, and I set out. We met with the landowner, Vince, and his father, Rubin. Vince was having problems getting a construction loan with the bank. It was at an impasse and he did not know what to do.
Vince was clearly meant to have this land. He recounted that a friend had asked him to buy it way back when he was in high school. He was now in his forties. Years later, it was offered to him again, but someone else delayed the purchase because they also wanted it. The problem with the property at that time was it was landlocked. The third time Vince was again offered the land he finally purchased it. He asked his neighbor for an easement, and much to Vince’s surprise was given the easement with a blessing.
Larissa, Sio and I started our day by chanting a beautiful Hawaiian chant from Molokai, which invokes love and healing for all. We invoked all the Guides, Angels, Earth Spirits connected with the land, and the people involved. Then we started walking the land, the most important aspect of getting in touch with the energies.
When land clearing, there are many factors to be considered. First, we looked at the topography to observe how the landscape was created and if there are any natural blockages, such as a landslide. We are also looking to see if man has done any damage to the physicality of the land that may alter the energetic flow.
On this particular property, a very deep ravine had no water flowing through it because a neighbor up the mountain had diverted the water into a lava tube. The water spirits, who were still holding the energy of the water in the ravine, were very unhappy.
The next step was to intuitive look at the bioenergics of the property to see if there were any “spiritual power spots,” as well as connect to the earth spirits there. There was a power spot where the pure energy of Gaia was out flowing from deep within the Earth. These spots are amazing because the energy is so pure, magical, and filled with powerful earth spirits. If you are ever near one, you will definitely know it because it will appear mysterious and enchanting, and your body will resonate to its energy and beauty. At this level, we are also looking for a connection to the fairies, elves, devas, overlighting earth angels, and earth spirit caretakers. On the other hand, what I call the Earth’s Ancestors.
There was a potent spirit that showed up who was the overseer of the power spot. I intuited it was curious about us because we were admiring “his” spot. We asked if it was OK to build a structure on this five-acre parcel. We immediately understood that it was acceptable as long as they did not build over the power spot. I knew it meant that if the owners did build on the power spot, they would suffer in many ways: health concerns, lack of abundance, financial problems, etc. This would happen because that would block the energy flow, NOT because the earth spirits would cause it.
After that, we checked for any human energies. It is important to note that humans leave more than trash or a carbon footprint on the land; they also leave energetic debris. This takes the form of thoughtforms and emotions. These residuals stay within the bioenergetic field of the land and distort the natural energy. Ghosts can also inhabit the location, which also need to be cleared.

(I discovered this years ago when I was visiting a park in Virginia. While visiting friends, we decided to have a picnic at the local park. It was a beautiful location with rolling lush green hills and old stands of trees. I started to feel nauseous and extremely uncomfortable. Frankly, I wanted to get the heck out of there; it gave me the creeps! Then someone mentioned that the location we were at was actually a battlefield during the Civil War, where thousands upon thousands of soldiers were killed. A light bulb went on in my head, and I started to tune into the energies there. It was overwhelming, to say the least, because there were so many ghosts walking around, as well as emotional pain and suffering fused into the land. It was bigger than I could take on.)
This Hawaiian property had two human influences: an area where a pot grower had been and left his emotions and drug consciousness, and a burial site that also had human suffering connected with it.
Lastly, we intuitively meditated on all the people connected with the property. There was lots of family issues between the two couples that bought the property that had not been addressed, which were clearly going to be a future problem if not spoken to. Owners, neighbors, and any others with an interest in a property all impact it with their consciousness.
Our healing work for the land started by invoking the Overlighting Water Angel, a powerful earth angel, to bring water energies back to the ravine so the water spirits would be balanced and happy. The water spirits were happy! I love water spirits and think they should be encouraged in one’s home or land because they are so soothing and healing. Next, we cleared the human energy off, invoking the earth energies from below the surface to move into those locations for healing. We were essentially inviting the earth energies back.
We then did a group meditation, creating a “grid” of healing and support for the family to heal their differences with patience and love. We also visualized the bank being supportive and providing the necessary loan. I always make sure to ask for the highest good for all and let “the powers that be” determine the outcome. It is not my place to interfere with dharma.
Our last task was to talk with Vince and his dad about what we saw and our recommendations. We informed him of the power spot and that he shouldn’t build over it. We suggested he even create a landscape altar in that location to acknowledge the spirits there. That way they could communicate with them and create a partnership on the land. Practically, we suggested he get together with his wife and the other 2 owners of the land to get clear on who got what part of the acreage, who was financially responsible for what, and more; and to get it in writing. We told him to visualize his loan coming to him with ease and for a healing within the family.
We concluded by thanking all the spirits, guides and angels for their support, and asked them for a blessing upon the land. Last, I heard, Vince indicated the other couple had suddenly decided they did not want to be a part of the property and wanted to be bought out. Vince said it would eliminate the problem of permits and getting a loan because they are not dividing the property.
Next, a clearing at a San Francisco Victorian. Ghosts and more!

Crazy Coffee Farm

I have left the east side of the Big Island and am now staying on the Kona coast in a magical, funky and rustic coffee farm. My good friend LaRissa is caretaking the farm for six months while the owners are away.
First off, let me define the word “farm”, because it has a different meaning in Hawaii. It is not organized in any way. This one-acre plot of land has meandering paths with mass plantings of bromeliads, exotic flowering vines, taro plants, papaya and banana trees, ferns, all surrounded by a tropical forest of bamboo. The coffee plants are interspersed between all of thatI .
It is a wonder anything grows here since the ground is almost solid lava. The coffee plants are spindly, but covered with lots and lots of beans.
Despite the rustic outside appearance of the buildings, inside they are cozy and thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind. The crystals and spiritual artifacts make it a welcoming environment for me. There is an outdoor kitchen, which is really fun to hang in. Three sides are open and it has a tarp roof over it. It¹s sounds weird, but it¹s really refreshing to be outdoors while cooking and eating especially since it is so warm here. I also like the fact that several Hawaiian cardinals, a beautiful red bird, fly in and look for crumbs to eat. That may not appeal to some, but I love birds and often feed them when I have come here on vacation, much to the frowning look of my husband. Check out the picture of the kitchen.
In the kitchen there is a fish bowl with greenish water where the pet goldfish lives. I watched as a green lizard climbed up the side of the bowl and came eye-to-eye with the goldfish. They stared at each other for several minutes. It made me laugh to see two very different critters look at each other with a quizzical look. I tried to capture their meeting in a photo.
Speaking of critters, did I mention there are lots and lots of mongooses? They give me the creeps when they scamper about the farm. I do, however, love the little green lizards, which some folks call geckos but I am told are actually something else. There apparently is a native brown gecko that lives in Hawaii, and the green and hot orange one is an import.
The import is crowding out the natives. That seems to be a familiar theme worldwide, don¹t you think? Anyway, these little green guys are all over the place, and I do mean “all over the place.”l I sat at an outdoor coffee shop and had two at my feet and one on the table, all snacking on some tidbit of food that was dropped there. They look kind of silly because they are always licking their lips.
LaRissa and I are going to be working with some landowners who want their land cleared of any negative energy as well as create a blessing and intention so they can get the bank loan they need for construction. With the state of the home loan market, I think it takes a blessing, and all the gods and goddesses available as well.
I am definitely getting my “kitty fix” here on the farm. A little black-and-white kitty named Tyrone follows me around. He is definitely chill and mellow, a typical Hawaiian kitty. That¹s all for now.
With much love and aloha, Holly

Kalopa Native Forest

Steve and I got up early today for a hike through a native Hawaiian rainforest. This park is 100 acres of rare plants, trees, palms and ferns of every imagination. It is located on the east side of the Big Island near the town of Honoka’a. Since it is located so far from the heavy tourist areas of Kona and Hilo, there are never that many people in the park. Even the trails didn’t have a lot of human thought forms. Despite there being so few people, there are lots of facilities, such as a campground, cabins for groups or individuals, a meeting building and lots of trails. Our hike was a walking meditation. The forest trail was quiet except for the sounds of birds and some sort of insect. There are very tall tree ferns that form the most amazing canopy. There are also amazing hobbit-like trees that seemed to emanate magical energy. This place is very peaceful and relaxing.

Much love and aloha, Holly

Aloha from Hawaii!


Aloha from Hawaii!
Today is the first day of my two-week trip to the Big Island of Hawaii. Of all the islands, this is my favorite because it's so alive with energy. It's raw and creating more land as we speak. Kilauea has been erupting with a vengeance the last several weeks and the vog is very thick. It is the worst I have ever seen on the Big Island. For those of you who don't know what vog is, it is the gas and ash that is released into the air during eruptions. It really impacts those who have allergies and asthma. Go to this link to see updated pictures of the eruptions: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/kilauea/update/images.html
Hawaii is my true home. When I get off the plane and feel the air on my skin, I relax and my spirit seems to take over. I lose the need to make it happen and shift to "island time." I am here to work on a soul age book with my friend and work partner Steve Cocconi. The soul age info is one of the best aspects of the Michael Teaching because it gives real incite into why people behave the way they do. I will be talking more about this later. If you have any ideas about what you would like to see in a soul age book, please email me them to me.
I am also scheduled to teach a workshop on Life Purpose as well as channeling for some folks. This is my first time working in Hawaii, and it feels like a dream come true. Next week I meet up with my girlfriend LaRissa, and we will be doing a land clearing together. I'll let you know how that works out. Off today toKalopa State Park for a morning hike. I'ts a rain forest on the east side of the Island. Much love and aloha, Holly

Grounding Up, Not Down

This is a picture of Mt. Diablo and the surrounding valley where I reside. The town in which I live had the great foresight to save extensive acreage for open space in and around neighborhoods and the downtown. I am fortunate that just up my street is a trailhead to a beautiful hike through rolling hills with oaks, tall grasses and wildflowers. From this vantage point I can see Mt. Diablo, and this is one of the places I like to connect with the earth’s energies.


When I first started my spiritual path, I was in high school. My mom was into metaphysics, and we had lots of Edgar Cayce and Ruth Montgomery books lying around the house. We openly talked about all types of spirituality. Eventually I attended classes on everything from charkas (energy centers of the body) to aura clearing and reading, to intuitional development. One of the topics I studied was grounding. I was always taught to send a cord of energy down from my first chakra to the earth. I didn’t question the technique at the time, but as I have progressed on my path, I have come to learn what I believe is a better way to ground. It’s about grounding up, not down.
Sending a cord down doesn’t include the hips, thighs, knees, ankles and feet. Almost half the body is excluded from the process. This type of grounding doesn’t make me feel connected to the earth. I was once in a metaphysical workshop when I noticed the partner I was working with had no connection to the earth through his legs and feet. I asked him how he grounded, and he replied through a cord straight down. He looked “top heavy” and ungrounded. He said he was a runner, and was having difficulty because he felt he was going to trip and fall all the time.
The whole point of grounding is to anchor the body’s energy to the earth for stability as well as allow the body to draw up the healing energy for healing and rejuvenation. Our bodies are an extension of the earth and made of the same stuff. I believe a body needs a strong connection to its source.
My method of grounding is to draw up the healing, grounding energies of the earth into the body. Start this process by first activating your charkas with your intention. Sit in a chair or on the floor/ground and close your eyes. Take a couple of relaxing breaths. With your intention, open the chakra that exists approximately 2 feet below your feet. This is called the earth chakra. Next open the charkas in your feet. Then continue to open the charkas of your knees and hips, opening the pathway to your first chakra.
Next place your attention deep in the earth, connecting to the crystals, minerals, water, magma, oil, and underground water. Then allow your mind to connect to the surface energies of mountains, trees, flowers, rivers, oceans and more.
On your next breath, draw up the energies of the earth up through your feet, continuing up your legs, hips, to the first chakra. Continue to move the energy up to fill your entire body. You can visualize this as a color, such as ocean blue or forest green. Allow your body to take in all that energy into your cells.
How does your body feel? Are there any sensations? Is it heavier? Lighter?
When I first experimented with this grounding technique, I felt heavy; but it didn’t feel bad. My body loves this nourishment. I especially love the healing energy of ferns and moss, and I sometimes visualize covering my body with them. I know that sounds weird, but it feels great. I’m sure you will find certain plants, trees, rocks, flowers, or whatever, that you will gravitate towards. And you don’t have to know what you connect to; your body will know. Take a deep breath and draw in the energies of a tree, an ocean, a flower, or even Mt. Diablo. Try it and see what it’s like.

Thanks, Holly
