September 9. 2009 has come and gone. It was a culminating point after the 3 major eclipses (2 in July and 1 in the 1st week of August). Significant because it represents the ending of previous ways, cycles and the beginning of new methods and consciousness. Manifestation of our dreams and a global awakening has begun as I see it.

Not everyone came through the intense period from July to September. Some have left Earth and gone to the spirit/soul realm. All is as it is meant to be. I have said goodbye to a woman who changed my life for the better - Alba. She came to this country from Italy, settled in a new land in Portland, and learned a new language as she attended school and worked as a young girl. She had true grit, horse sense, a huge heart and a sense of humor. She was a dreamer and she reawakend the dreamer in me at a time when the flame was burning low due a series of life changes that took every ounce of energy I had to keep going. She and her daughter Georgia offered me a safe haven and a lot of love, laughter, a sense of family and inspiration. I will never forget her.

The day after dear Alba's departure, I was due to attend a seminar in Nevada City sponsored by a company called Floracopeia, entitled, In the Garden of the Medicine Buddha. I was emotionally very jangled and very relieved to get to the retreat site, surrounded by trees, and no cell phone reception.

The conference inspired me greatly by focusing on the living heart of the earth and the plants and trees that offer us humans their wealth in the form of food and medicine and pure joy from aromatica botanica. No farms no food, no plants no medicine or spiritual connection with the earth. Sunlight embodied, that is the nature of plants. They live on sunlight, they metabolize sunlight, which I find very very very profound. We can imbibe sunlight by partaking of plant food. They respire oxygen. Their immune response produces essential oils in minute amounts which are emitted into the atmosphere.

It was a magical time and it embodied the new energy of the 9-9-2009 - replanting of the global garden as David Crow has termed it. It was a wonderful crowd of around 250 people and we were all gathered from many walks of life. One man came from Indonesia, another from Ecuador. Global consciousness. Sacred Earth. All I know is that my grief was soothed and Mother Earth herself was present - the goddess, Gaia, in her sacred loving consciousness.

Tears well up when I think of things the presenters said. David Crow amazed me with his technical knowledge as a herbalist. and spiritual compassionate understanding of the ecosystem and our interconnection with Earth. In the Garden of the Medicine Buddha connects us all into the mandala of life in a sacred way. We all have special gifts we bring to the mandala.

Just listening to the presenters was proof: a Tibetan medical practitioner - a woman who went to Tibet, learned the language and went through 10 plus years of arduous study, a man who is planting 90,000 trees in Ecuador in an effort to save the rainforest, a man who has a  herbal Community Supported Agrigulture in the Boston area, a representative from Organic India who talked about how the return of organic farming methods is healing both the land and the peoples, and reducing the number of suicides amongs Indian farmers in despair about their lack of crops since Monsanto arrived on the scene, a team who produces distillation units for home use, and a new kind of nebulizer.

Through it all, we were provided with superb organic vegetarian food and given the opportunity to smell, savor, and digest numerous samples of essential oils, some very rare. I went home inspired, grateful, and in a transcendant state of being from the oils and the big visions that engulfed us all. I am still processing the information on many levels as it was so high and so deep, so universal on many levels.

Today I experienced a very powerful sound healing. I went to visit an old time crystal enthusiast who happens to have a fabulous collection of some very large geodes, fossils, clusters, spheres, etc. Amazzzzzing to say the least. He offered to do a sound activation. I sat inside a huge amethyst tower. He had several huge crystal bowls made of crushed quartz, a tibetan metal bowl and a clear quartz bowl.  It was an activation of all the energy centers in the body and a clearing. All the cells in the body seemed to reverberate with the very intense sound. His recommendation:  imagine a rainbow moving throughout the spine, up into the pineal gland. Let the rainbow reside there. So, with the sound and that visualization, it was extremely powerful. Definately felt the power of the sound waves revererating through the crystal forest there. Whew. That was really something. I think I have been in an altered state all day long. I think it is cleansing the emotions, for sure.

Dear Friends,

I recently listened  to and attended an excellent tele-seminar with David Crow, a master herbalist and well-known author.It was extremely illuminating and very worthwhile. Thankfully, the whole thing was recorded.

 David and his company, Floracopeia, have made it available  to listen to and download free  

It's called The Dharma of Essential Oils and the Flowering of Spiritual Culture. It is a profound synthesis of medicine, ecology and spirituality and I highly encourage you to check it out. You can listen online, download it to your computer and/or burn to a cd or put on your ipod.

P.S. I found tears running down my cheeks as I listened. Very profound "connecting of the global dots" and the role of replanting the literal and figurative garden. Give a listen and let me know how you feel about it.

We have come through the portal of Summer Solstice and the rarity of the three eclipse cycle. Many emotional, spiritual, physical changes - speaking for myself. The transition from the past into the future manifestations. So many good things happening that resonate with my awakening manifestion of my gifts. I am most grateful for this. Much has been purified and tossed overboard. Things I thought I could never let go of have gone. Moments of extreme emptiness and doubt as to what is next. It is all reconnecting and beginning to flourish. The seeds are breaking the ground and reaching for the light. I am breaking ground and have sprouted. I am reaching for the light!

Great sunny day in the San Francisco North Bay area. Began my morning meditation with visitation, literally, of many many deer that appeared at my back fence. A doe, then a young buck, then another deer who seemed to have a malady of the joints. Big knots around the front leg joints, with some forming on the back. But still going forward. Yesterday a deer stopped by who had broken her right foot so that it was down like our feet. I started to feel sad, but, remembered that this deer has been going strong for well over a year and had adapted without being killed by coyotes. She is still very mobile.

Another doe and her spotted fawn also stopped by for carrots today. She and the fawn were chased away by the alpha doe and buck. She is a young doe who I knew as a fawn. I recognize her as she got into a tangle perhaps with a coyote and one of her ears was chewed up so that it flops over. Now she has a little darling spotted fawn who loves carrots and apples too.  Some days they lay under the trees and rest. If I am home I play certain music for them which they like. All very interesting interactions.

The young buck left, then came back. He was standing on the hillside when a blue jay came and landed on his back. Fascinating - nope I couldn't get to my camera fast enough before it flew away. Darn. But what a sight!

The deer, to me are very much about subtle energy. They are very very alert and aware, very sensitive. They catch the movements of light and sound. I have come to know these deer over the four or five years I have resided in my home. They know my voice, as I speak very softly and sweetly to them because I consider them my children. They look at me, they know me. In the mornings and evenings I walk near the church grounds and they are grazing - they start to bolt and I speak to them...they stop and look and listen because they know my voice. It is always a joy to interact with them. They are gentle and sweet, true. When threatened they have very strong abilities with their front legs and feet to break a predators back. They bound and bounce and they are gone.

So, the message for today with the appearance of the deer totem animal: Gentleness and Innovence - gentle luring to new adventures, gentleness with self and others. Don't force anything, nor be too critical with self and others. Express gentle love.

In the crystal world - sensitivity to the subtle begins to awaken as the crystalline forms begin to release their information once they find the right person. Yes. Crystals are meant to find certain people and connect libraries of information to them. Seems kind of "woo woo" I suppose. But, they are sentient beings with eons worth of information stored in their crystalline libraries. Intuitive listening begins to awaken. Sensitivities develop. It is very magical, practical, and yet very down to earth. They come from the womb of the Goddess. They have been through cataclysmic changes on the earth. They reflect longitude, latitude, ley lines of the earth, mineral chemical composition, vibratory rate, color frequency. Resonance with human beings on some level, as we are all part of the Grand Circuit of Life and the cosmos.  To me the ROSE QUARTZ is very similar to deer energy....soft, gentle, healing, caring, expressing univeral love.

Tonight I was remembering the ways that crystals entered my life. When I lived in Santa Barbara, a young lady by the name of Sally gave me a beautiful crystal with lots of etchings on it. She told me it had a "very high, clear vibration."  I knew nothing about crystals but I was awed that she gifted me with such a large crystal. I worked with it and learned from it over a period of years, tho not  consciously at that time. I did not  yet realize there was cellular awakening happening via the crystal. 

In Los Angeles,  a gal I worked with introduced me to a local rock shop where I bought a few little tumbled rocks which were pretty and fun. But I really became a crystal gazer here in the San Francisco area.  My first purchase was a Rose Quartz obelisk. Rose Quartz is the stone of unconditional love and emotional healing. Very soft and healing with a gentle vibration that soothes and makes it all okay.

I slowly understood that I had been prepared in many ways to receive the teachings of the crystals. They teach in silence without words, but intuitively. It is a gradual process that deepens over time, much  like the way that meditation deepens one over time.  It becomes easier to reconnect the inner parts of our consciousness and bring it forth into the everyday world. This evening I pondered the idea of  memory in our  cells, our bones and our very soul - how experiences and imprints are stored within, waiting to be accessed. Very miraculous - like a fountain of crystalline sparkling energies, ever flowing and renewing, unveiling the mysteries of our being and the world around us.

I appreciate the order of the universe and the way we can release the unwanted energies, thoughts and things that no longer serve us, that we were perhaps not even conscious of until the "aha" moment.  We don't have to stay stuck but can call forth a much higher vibration into our life, in many ways. 

Light is Power!

Reveal it and use it

For the betterment of mankind

Each opportunity is most powerful

Never neglect a single one!

We are in the process of becoming crystalline - switching from carbon-based to crystalline. First the Indigo Children and now the Crystal Children have arrived, and the first wave Crystal Elders. They are very sensitive, very intuitive, highly empathic and magnify what is around them.

For the months of July and August we are also in the midst of a highly unusual set of three eclipses and have been in a high change energy portal since Summer Solstice on June 21st.

July 7th was the date of the first eclipse, the longest eclipse of the 21st century, followed by the second on July 21st.  The final eclipse in the unusual trio will take place August 5th. What does it mean?

It is a call to greater personal responsibility, personal freedom based on being true to oneself. The sequence has also been called representative of the "past, present and future" self that is yet to be born. The  newly evolved self of multidimensionality, magnified abilities and hopefully, greater compassion and empathy for our fellow human beings and animals. And our beauteous mother earth, Gaia!

Many will not change, cannot change, cannot ride the tides to the new shores and they may depart by their own will. It is as it should be. Bless them and let them go. Many will change, and we must let them go in their new direction, true to their soul's callings.

In the meanwhile, be kind to yourself during this time - rest as much as you need to.. as we are processing many new energies incoming, as well as releasing many physical and emotional toxins. Drink lots of water and take salt baths if you can to relax and mineralize.

Good crystals to work with at this time: Lemurian crystals, Rose Quartz, Blue Tiger Eye, Amethyst, Aquamarine.

Some thoughts to share from CKG's 77,000 Service Trees Vol. 18:

• "Not to believe is to invite failure" 
• "Aspiration disolves the boundaries between the dream-world and the reality world"
• "Enthusiasm is beautiful, enthusiasm is powerful, enthusiasm is fruitful when it is found inside our life-breath."
