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.

My Wee Veggie Garden

Given that times are contracted, I decided to plant a “victory garden.” Why I haven’t done this before now is something I have asked myself. I guess because I am so drawn to flowers that I haven’t grown veggies since I was a kid. I asked my husband Sam to build a raised box for my plantings. I feel so fortunate to have him as a partner, and one of the reasons is he can build and fix anything. And I mean anything. “Honey, there’s something wrong with the kitchen faucet,” and suddenly he’s there with wrenches and other mysterious tools, and it’s fixed. At first we were going to build a 4 x 12 box, but decided to scale it back a bit and ended up with a 4 x 6. I thought I might be getting in over my head with a “farm” to take care of since I have the rest of the yard to tend. Here are the photos of us building the box. I know, you’re on the edge of your seat. We had a good time making it together. We filled the box with a load of topsoil and I amended it with organic chicken poo and two wheelbarrows full of my very own stinky compost filled with worms. The trouble with my compost pile is I use it up as quickly as I create it and it takes time to replenish the kitchen scraps, lawn clippings, and leaves for the next round. I wanted to plant right away but didn’t because it was too hot and the moon was not in the right sign to plant. I planted my veggies on the April 24th New Moon in Taurus. New moons are great times to start something, and being in an earth sign as well I thought would work for my veggie friends. Before I planted, I created a ceremony for the garden and used a special liquid essence called Earth Balancing Trilogy. This essence is supposed to bring healing and harmony to the earth, as well as supporting a co-creative relationship with nature. My friend Morgana, who is a reincarnated faerie if I’ve ever seen one, sent the drops to me as a gift. I invoked my guides and angels as well as all the earth spirits I connect to and asked for a blessing. Here is the picture of my planted garden. I planted two large heirloom tomatoes, two types of cherry tomatoes, three types of bell peppers, a “Diva’ cucumber and strawberries in the big box. I seeded Rainbow Swiss Chard, and tucked purple and sweet basil in and around the box along with Sweet Alyssum. Yes, I had to get in a few flowers, but according to companion planting they attract beneficial insects. In the barrels are kombacha squash, sugar pie pumpkins, zucchini and yellow squash. Watch to see how it grows.

April Energy Update from Newsletter.



Between now and the Summer Solstice on June 20 is a fantastic time to let go of sabotaging habits and make advances in areas you desire. With your commitment, you can stop smoking, lose weight, resolve a personal issue, clear hurts, or any other improvement, with the full support of the current expansive energies. This is a fantastic window of opportunity; take advantage of it. What is your passion? What is your vision? Get going. 
This breakthrough energy can cause your routine to fall apart, and that would be a good thing at this time. Open yourself to making new friends and going new places, start a community garden or let your inner artist paint for the first time. Free yourself to explore something new.  Obama’s presence continues to pull us back on to the “main trunk” of all parallel realities. Since taking office and making so many changes politically, spiritually, and otherwise, the global community is making continual adjustments. You may find the decisions you made in the last eight years are no longer valid or workable. 
Goddess energy is particularly strong now, and it is a good time to honor the feminine within. Take time to nurture yourself and loved ones, even a perfect stranger. Open your heart to receive the love that is given you from spouses, children, friends, family, strangers and the beauty of Mother Earth. Take a walk in the moon and let her rays fill you with mystery. Nourish your creative side with space to daydream and visualize.  Take deep breaths and allow the vital energy of the earth and cosmos fill you. It’s a great time to be alive!

March Energy Update from Newsletter.


America and the world continue to adjust to Obama at the helm. Watch for ongoing resistance by Baby and Young souls, who are completely confused by Obama’s charisma and ability to move energy through perseverance. In other words, most Republicans will continue to polarize, desperately trying to hold on to their power base and the old paradigm. Obama will set a new standard for business in the U.S over the next four years.

March energies start out slow, sometimes seemingly at a standstill, and then picks up with an energetic surge. The power of the Spring Equinox and the New Moon in Aires on March 26th will be revitalizing, infusing us with the courage to move in the direction of our desires. Take advantage of this boost of energy. Expect surges and slumps all year long.

The emphasis for March is Perseverance, which is the mode for 2009. Create a schedule for projects you want to accomplish, get them on your calendar and stick to the plan. Watch that apathy and depression don’t take hold and collapse your resolve. Don’t give up; we will get through this. This year's energy may be particularly hard for those individuals with a high frequency, mode of passion or chief feature of impatience.

"With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable." -
Thomas Foxwell Buxton

If you are feeling down, make sure to get some support from your friends and family. The Full Moon in Virgo on March 10 supports collaboration and affiliation. It is essential to stay connected to your support group. Enjoy the Spring Equinox with an earthly celebration!

Who is Barack Obama?

Any soul who is willing to show up at this time in history and take responsibility for heralding in a whole new paradigm is an exceptional spirit indeed. So who is Barack Obama, what is his mission, why is he here now, and who was he in the past? As we have mentioned in earlier newsletters, Obama is a 7th level mature Priest with a Scholar essence twin in a King casting position. Priests tend to be ungrounded, however, Obama’s Scholar ET anchors the inspirational Priest energy with facts and structure. In fact, Obama’s essence has great passion for the data that he uses to inspire others.
Priests are natural leaders who are meant to inspire humanity to grow and evolve spiritually. As younger souls, Priests tend to carry out massive karmas, such as Hitler, who was a baby soul. These younger Priests tend to use their inspirational qualities to control the masses destructively.
As Priests grow in soul age, they mellow and create a higher octave of inspirational support. Princess Diana was a 2nd level mature Priest who inspired the world with her desire to help HIV patients and stop the use of landmines. Older soul Priests are beyond using their powers to karmically control others. The challenge Old Priests have is an expectation by people to save them, especially from their self-created problems. It goes something like, “Help me, Obama-wan, your our only hope.” Obama doesn’t allow this projected expectation, and instead makes reference for the need for everyone to take responsibility and do their part to make our current situation better.


Hawaiian born, Obama carries within his soul the “Spirit of Aloha.” While the word “aloha” is used for saying “hello” and “goodbye” and as an expression of love, it really describes a deep spiritual belief of the Hawaiian people. David Bray, a famous teacher and author of Hawaiian beliefs, interprets the Spirit of Aloha as, “Come forward, be in unity and harmony with your real self, God, and mankind. Be honest, truthful, patient, kind to all life forms, and humble.” This is something Obama demonstrates in all areas of his life.

Obama’s current life platform is Justice/Fairness/Equity. A platform is a principal that an essence chooses in a lifetime, which becomes the oundation of the life purpose. His declaration of fairness and justice for the middle class, his emphatic decree there will be no torture, his assertion that due process will be followed all reflect his platform. The Constitution of the U.S. is based on this same platform, which is why Obama’s spirit was attracted to becoming a Constitutional lawyer. Part of his current mission is to protect the Constitution from being eroded away.


People often ask if Obama was Abraham Lincoln since he refers to him repeatedly. We believe Lincoln was a 7th level old Sage, not a Priest. However, Obama was in a body at the time Lincoln lived, and even knew him and was considered Lincoln’s conscious because he initially criticized Lincoln for his views on slavery. That person was Frederick Douglass. Lincoln and Douglass shared the same Fairness platform in that life.
Douglass was born a slave, escaped to the North where he championed civil and women’s rights, and worked to abolish slavery. Even though it was illegal for slaves to be educated, he spent time with the slave owners’ kids and learned how to read and write. (His Scholar side!) The Equal Rights Party nominated Douglass as the Vice Presidential candidate along with Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for President. Douglass was considered a powerful orator and inspired nations and politicians with his speeches.

Obama’s current life is a completion of what he started then, which is common for souls to have a succession of lives to complete grand projects. Douglass was the first African-American to be invited to the White House as a guest, and Obama becomes the first African-American to become President of the U.S. Obama’s mission as a soul to break through the barriers of inequality for people with color in America is finally complete.



Another major past life for Obama was as Constantine I. Constantine I is attributed with the unification of the Roman Empire. He also became the first Roman Emperor to become a Christian, and under his rule stopped the persecution of Christians, allowing them to practice their religion and even restoring their property after it was confiscated. He was said to have felt responsible to God for the spiritual wellbeing of his people, leaving the Church in charge of how it was to be carried out.

Obama was a ruthless young soul in that life and created considerable karma during his military campaigns and as a leader. In that life, Obama demonstrated his natural ability to unite people, and he is currently putting those skills to use in unifying the globe, as much as humanly possible, as we go through this powerful shift in consciousness. He is also paying karma back to many people around the world by his international policies. We believe that his essence is looking to move to 1st level old by the end of this life.


These two past lives are foundational for Obama’s current mission. His essence is uniquely designed is to show up at various times in history to create equality and unification, moving humanity to the next level. Being part black, part white, a Christian with a Muslim background, Obama can have a unifying effect on nationally and internationally. Someone has to do it, and Priests are the powerhouses that can advance us forward.

2009 Overleaves

Overleaves


Role: Server
Secondary Role: Sage
Goal: Submission
Attitude: Spiritualist
Mode: Perseverance
Chief Feature: Martyrdom
Center: Intellectual Center / Moving Part
Frequency: 75 / 35


Role of Server
The Server is a solid, inspirational role in the Michael Teaching, whose primary focus is to serve. In a Server year, you may find yourself wanting to be of service to others, the earth or your favorite passion. Server energy is resourceful and willing to do whatever is necessary to get the job done. Because it is ordinal, you may find yourself humbly taking on tasks behind the scenes without need for recognition. This is a good year to reflect upon how your conduct impacts others and the earth. Headline in local Walnut Creek, California, newspaper: Join Celebration of Historic Inauguration and Get Involved in ‘Day of Service.’


Secondary Role of Sage
With Sage energy, everybody and their cousin will want to get their opinions heard this year. America shifted from 7th young to 1st mature, which will produce a lot of fear in the younger souls. Be prepared for lots of complaining, arguing and verbal attacks
We are in the midst of
a powerful transformation, which creates a high level of fear.
This fear will be the driving force behind peoples’ need to complain and argue about what to do with resources power.


Goal of Submission
This is also called Devotion, because it is the need to be devoted to something -- a cause, mission, situation, calling -- to feel satisfied. You may feel the need to dedicate or devote yourself to your marriage, ending world hunger, helping homeless in your community, getting healthy or paying off your debts. Princess Diana had the Goal of Devotion, which was reflected in her genuine desire to help HIV patients and end the use of land mines. Whatever you feel driven to do, take action. This is not the time to procrastinate.


Attitude of Spiritualist
Visionary and open to possibilities, this attitude can help you to see new avenues and paths to your life choices. Because it supports a strong connection to spirituality or religion, it assists one to be able to connect to Source and transcend the physical illusion. Spiritualist attitude is uplifting and creates hope. Spiritualist slides to Stoic in the Michael Teaching. If you aren’t anchored in spirit and a vision for yourself this year, you may slide to the negative pole of Stoic, which is resignation, and generally numb out. What is your vision in 2009?


Mode of Perseverance
This mode matches the energy of the Ox Year in Chinese Astrology. The ox just walks along at a plodding pace, one hoof at a time, until the job gets done. And that’s how we get through the year, with persistence and self-discipline, plodding along, until we achieve what we desire. Perseverance slides to Aggression, so at the beginning of 2009 we will see aggressive behavior, but by the Spring Equinox we definitely settle in to persevering.


Chief Feature of Martyrdom
Be prepared for people feeling sorry for themselves and claiming someone or something else is responsible for their hardships. The martyred individual is one who claims their situation is beyond their control and that they have no responsibility for their current problems. Blagojevich and Palin are demonstrating martyrdom, claiming
unfair treatment without taking any responsibility for their own behavior. Be on the lookout for corporations asking for handouts because, after all, it wasn’t their fault they are in dire straits currently. Individuals who feel wronged by another may seek retribution.


Intellectual Center / Moving Part
The Michael Teaching describes the intellectual center, moving part, as a year where we take action on our thoughts. Make a list of what needs to get done and then take action. The challenge is to follow through and complete what needs to be done without getting caught up in a nervous frenzy of ideas. Use the mode of perseverance to help you with completion.


Frequency of 75 initially, then lowering to 35
Frequency is measured from 0-100, and defines how fast a pace the energy moves. (100 being extremely fast paced) In the beginning of 2009, the pace surges to 75, but by the Spring Equinox the pace slows down to 35. For those high frequency individuals, the low pace may feel uncomfortable, as things may not being going fast enough for you. Wear some amethyst gemstones, as they will connect you to spirit, allowing you to let go of impatience.

December Energy Update: Continued from NewsLetter

Almost There! 

Transitions can feel uncomfortable.  We haven't left the Bush parallel and are not quite in the Obama one. This has a destabilizing effect, causing the stock market to continue its roller coaster ride and the government to keep on throwing huge sums money at corporate bailouts. People are scared and don't know what will happen. 

Treasury Secretary Paulson is a good example of this, changing his mind constantly about what to do about the economy. All of this can seem weird and irrational, and  yet it will continue. Notice if your instinctive center is a bit jumpy about what Bush is doing before he leaves. He intends on creating karma on his way out the door, and you may be sensing it. He represents a dying, oil-based paradigm,which won't let go of its power hold without putting up a fight. 
At a spiritual level, however, powerful changes are taking place with the breakdown of systems that no longer work to clear the path for innovative ways of being. One theme for 2009: Don't just think outside the box, let go of the box completely. 

Tools for Transition: Gratitude, Adaptability, Creativity 
As corny as it sounds, gratitude will take you a long way in manifesting your needs in these difficult times. Under the laws of  attraction, gratitude is an energy that attracts love, healing, and abundance. Close your eyes and take a moment to be thankful for all have,your health, your beautiful home, all those you love, those that love you, your furry friends, and the daily 
abundance you do experience. Notice what happens to your body and overall peacefulness when you do this exercise. Ask your guides and higher self for what you want from this place of peace and love. 

We will continue to make adjustments in this instinctive year in preparation for a new cycle of being on this planet. Rigid adherence to the way it was and attachment to form will cause suffering. Learn to adapt to the global and economic changes by being creative. If you lost your job in the real estate market, discern what talents and strengths you have that can be applied to another industry. Even if it is only temporary, it may give you the stability you need. 

Make adjustments in your lifestyle in order to keep financially afloat. Get rid of your cable TV and spend more time with friends or reading. Some of you may find this is the perfect time to go back to school and complete a degree or learn a trade. Call upon your spirit guides and physical plane pals for support. Trade your services to get what you want. If necessary, get a business coach or a job placement counselor. Whatever you are attached to, try letting go, keep an open mind and another door will open. As older souls, you have been through much worse. Do you remember the Plague or the Inquisition? Do you remember how cold it was and how much disease there was in your past lives? You can do this.

 December Energies: 

·        As a reminder, the instinctive year is still putting pressure on everyone
to make changes at the deepest levels of your being. Take time to observe
what you are currently working on. Acknowledge how much you have shifted
this year and make a list so you can look at it. Include all accomplishments
you have made spiritually, emotionally, financially, physically, with your
health, and more. Take time to appreciate yourself for all you have done. Great ritual for a New Years Celebration!

·        The early part of December brings inspirational energies, which make it an
ideal time to tune into the visions of possibilities for the upcoming year.
Connect with your higher self and ask to be shown. Make a plan.

·        Also, pay attention to the desire to overspend or overextend during this
time. Be practical, grounded and deliberate with your resources.

·        By mid-month, watch out for irritability and a flaring of tempers. This is
in part due to the current economic upheaval we are all going through, which causes people to feel frightened and out of control. Most people act out their fear through anger and aggression. Deal with your fears constructively exercise, talk about them, seek healing support  and be alert not to take on the projected anger of others.  Take responsibility for yourself; foster cooperation and compassion.

·        Overall, December favors being with your “spiritual family” or DNA family members who make you feel loved and appreciated. It’s time to nurture yourself by stocking up on healthy comfort foods, cuddling up with pets, enjoying intimate get-togethers with like-minded pals, snuggling in bed with a good book, and other nourishing activities. Be kind and loving to yourself and let go of self-criticism. Let yourself have some fun!  This will build your energy, or chi, which you will need in the extreme next year.

·        By the end of the month, you may experience heaviness as the incoming energies on 2009 start merging. Next year has a low frequency, a plodding pace and may feel like you are walking through molasses. If you took the time to nourish yourself in December, you will be thankful that you did come 2009.
