Top TEN in 2010

2010 was incredible. I felt optimistic about this year like I had never experienced. I felt all of the work and dedication I had been putting into my life was truly grounding, and it was TRUE! I am so grateful for all the beautiful friendships, family connections and co-conspirators dancing this crazy TRUST WALK of a life with me. Blessings to all….and 2011 is already shaping up to be extraordinary.

I am finishing the book for My Oracle of Initiation deck, and am thrilled about the caliber of contributors I have offering their insights into the cards. I will be off to the West Coast to teach in March & April and then down to Central America for 5 months this spring/summer. Thank you for all the ways you each touched my life, making this a sparkly, juicy, DY-NO-MITE year. Here is my top ten list of the rock star brilliant things that occurred…

1. I published my first edition of my Oracle of Initiation Deck!!

Boy was this an experience. Almost four years into the project, I went into the zone and in 13 days time I designed, graphically set up and wrote the text for the  first edition of 88 decks. Thanks to MaryBeth for all her amazing help in this crazy, madcap caper of Oracular joy.

2. Joyful success during the West Coast Oracle tour

Spring 2010 I took the show on the road and taught with The Oracle of Initiation on the west coast. It was the business success I had been palpating for years, and it finally landed. I can feel things YEARS before they manifest, so it very cool when they materialize on the earth plane. I met amazing people, had a BLAST doing what I love and came home feeling empowered and proud of offering my sacred gifts. I want to thank everyone who showed up to my workshops and lectures in San Diego, especially Lisa, Trevahr, Jade and Xana for being my fabulous Guardians. I look forward to this springs tour, go to the event section at www.OracleofInitiation.com for the locations of the groovy gatherings with The Oracle in March and April.

I also want to thank one special client who has been a dream to work with. We met at Esalen during my tour and she has moved mountains within herself during our time together. It is such a gift to have a receiver for your work. I love yah IVP in Paris.


3. I won a year of free dance at EmbodyDance Santa Fe’s 10th anniversary party!

I magnetized my raffle tickets, energetically twinkled the little girl who was drawing the winner, and then put my hands out, palms up, to receive, and they called my name!!!! May abundance shower down upon you in the ways that feed and serve you best. They have for me. And much love to the beautiful dance community here in Santa Fe.

4. The Bachelorette & Amma & New Visions of Relationships

I am both a romantic and a cheese-ball. Its true, I enjoy  watching the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Part of it is psychological voyeurism, but the main attraction is the idea of true love. I know, I know, it rarely works out on that show, but I have always carried a torch for great romantic unions. Because of the struggles I see so many contemporary people having {me included} with finding suitable mates, I am refocusing my work towards why this is happening. I have been interviewing men about their perspectives on what has happened with relationship over the last decades.

Men are my main subject at this time because my work has previously been with women’s empowerment, and I am  wondering where the men are at. Thank you to all the lovely men who allowed me to peek inside their psyches and share their ideas on women, love and commitment. May we all evolve beyond the Madman version of gender roles and expectation. I am bringing Amma into this because my heart was blown open when I saw her for the first time this spring, and I believe energetic expansion may be the pathway to reclaiming the sacred within our intimate relationships. I will keep you posted on what I learn.

5. My Painted Body ritualistic photography work

This was a bang up year for my Painted Body ritualistic photography work. I had some fabulous shoots in Abiquiu and my first collaboration outside of New Mexico in Joshua Tree. It is such a primal joy to share my relationship with the land through initiating others into their unique brilliance. I shall miss the arid desert lands when I dance by the sea, but will always return to one of my true loves, magical, magical New Mexico.

6. Eating Coconut Ice Cream

For 10 years I did not get ice cream because of a lactose intolerance and the sugar. And then it came, the crazy-good coconut milk ice creams sweetened with agave. Lord have mercy. I have died and gone to heaven. HEAVEN. God and Goddess are good.

7. Yraceburu EarthWisdom-Family of my HEART

I have had a very good year with the family of my heart, Yraceburu EarthWisdom. In July I was initiated during The Otter Ways Women and Girls Rights of Passage weekend  in Las Vegas, NM. I was then a Guardian at  the incredible Grandmothers Summit Celebrating Turtle Island honoring our Elders and Wisdom Keepers this October . The Dream Circles have also been very juicy for the women to reclaim the ancient visioning ways. It is good to find your family. Very very good.

8. Tarot World FUN

Boy was this a fun year for Tarot community events. I got to go to The Readers Studio in NYC in April meeting delightful folks. The 2nd photo below is of Mary K. Geer, a prolific researcher and writer on Tarot and divination, Joanna Powell Colbert of the fabulous Gaian Tarot and Marilyn Shannon a crystal ball expert. We were all headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the secret back room to see ancient Tarot decks with Robert Place. Good stuff, thanks Sasha Graham-cool Tarot chick-for setting it all up. I also got to meet J. Jordan Hoggard of his magical Mystereum Tarot, being released any moment by Schiffer!!

The Oracle was also a cover girl, having 3 limited edition covers for Marcus Katz’s Tarosophist Tarot Professionals magazine.

And then…here in Santa Fe over Halloween weekend, we had LETS- Land of Enchantment Tarot Symposium!!!! So way way cooool. I was the opening speaker, and all the other presentation were top-notch. If you would like to see the story of how my Oracle deck was created, you may watch this 55 minute video with  images of where my ideas and influences come from.

http://vivu.tv/portal/archive.jsp?flow=397-654-7677&id=1291578442700

If you read this Blog in the future, I believe the video is only cataloged for 9 months {August 2011 it dies}. Thanks Carrie Paris, Margaret Letzkus and Robert Hahn for organizing such a worthwhile event…watch out for next year.



9. The photo album revealing My Destiny from my Mother

My mom hit it out of the ballpark this Christmas. When I opened my presents from her she had complied a photo album of my life from zero to twenty-five. The astounding thing about this was SHE FOUND NEW PHOTOS I HAD NEVER SEEN…and through this surprising new vision of my life, my DESTINY was mirrored back to me. I have to explain why new photos are so special. I am obviously a photography nut. Its part of what I do. But I have always had this energetic connection to images, I feel the depths in them, I draw on the energetic signatures and travel through them for memories and connections. They are alive to me. So at 42 to have my mother bust out some new representations of my story, my myth shocked me. I KNOW all of the family photos, so I thought. Re-visioning is so great, that’s what my Oracle deck is about, reclaiming the power and gifts in the challenges and misperceptions. And then I was able to see all the threads, all the tendrils to who I have become…SINCE I WAS AN INFANT. I am working on a video to share these connections, be patient, its a technology upgrade in me…i-movie…I am giving my mother BIG LOVE  {no-not the polygamy folks people!} for all her work feeding those negatives she has drug around for 40 years into her Wolverine machine to bust out one of the best physical gifts I may have ever gotten.

10 Azul my LOVE

I am an animal person. I had cats for 28 years straight, and then I moved to New Mexico. I need animal love, and Azul my roomie has been a light in my life. I thank her for all the joy, delight and holding of the space she offers. She is a Angel.

Rest in Peace Beautiful Julie Rivers, I honor your radiance and see you glowing in Chochiti canyon.

And Santo Nino, Eshu, Ellegua, Poppa Legba, Thank you for opening the doors and gateways to my destiny this year, and I appreciate all your support as a messenger and a scribe. And the abundance rocks. love yah….and Ogun, Shango, Oshun, Yemaya and beloved Obi, Obatala who has my head. Much respect.

Final words of wisdom…

Yraceburu EarthWisdom Grandmothers Summit Celebrating Turtle Island in New Mexico-A Guardians Eye View

Quero Apache lineage carrier Maria Yraceburu reminds us 90% of what our culture tells us is wrong, and it is time to reclaim the truth. As thirty-five of us gathered from across the nation in Northern New Mexico for the first annual Grandmothers Summit we witnessed each others power and claimed our unity as transformative wisdom keepers; we reclaimed the truth. It is time for the women to guide humanity into our true birthright of love, beauty and integrated power. This is what the Grandmothers Summit was all about.

Maria Yraceburu

The Grandmothers Gathering has emerged out of The Sisters of Honua Dream Seed Council that carries a vision of women’s groups worldwide dreaming the new reality together. Future Grandmothers Gatherings will be designed to address the main issues the women in the local councils have been dealing with through that year. This is the way we shall change the world.

 

Two weeks before the Grandmothers Summit I had a dream.

A group of Yraceburu EarthWisdom women had gathered in a classroom. I shared a dream I had experienced where I had a glowing white X “written” on my abdomen. I asked the group if any of them had had a similar experience and most of them raised their hands as yes. Later I looked at a post-it with lines drawn on it and colored in with multiple highlighter pens. After seeing this image I also knew that the X on my belly was  rainbow colored.


When I asked Maria about this dream she said it is a sign we have become Universal. We are reclaiming our expansive star-seed lineage and transforming into the carriers of the new paradigm of peace and cooperation. Maria Yraceburu has said that as we all walk into these changing times the women will lead the way over the Rainbow Bridge into the 5th World of harmony, they will reach out and take the children’s hands, and the children will bring the men along.

Guardian Deni Halterman with Yolanda Martinez

Guardians Janet Elk & Melissa Weiss Steele {moi}

I was honored to be one of the Guardians at this event, and it allowed me a view of the process that was unique and fascinating. To be consciously tracking the energies, supporting the teachers and creating the container that allowed the event to be welcoming and cohesive was a rewarding position. Flow is our job. The Guardian allows the teacher to focus on offering her gifts because the Guardian is managing the practical logistics as well as tracking the energetic dynamics. The Guardian is to intuitively “see through the eyes” of the presenter so her needs are graciously met. To be able to anticipate what the presenter actually needs instead of what your own projections may be is a valuable skill to cultivate.

During our Guardianship training with Maria Yraceburu she spoke of the crucial balance between giving and receiving. Many women have never experienced the support a dedicated Guardian can offer while they are working in the world. To be able to rely on the Guardians presence is a gift we all need to cultivate. Because Maria was raised by her Apache Grandfather, Juan Ten Bears, within the web of extended-family connections she has an innate understanding of Native cultural behaviors. She explained during our training that to truly be in harmony one must know how to both give and receive. Many of us over-give, while receiving is a challenge. Maria shared that as a newcomer to a Native community you may be observed to see how well you receive. This shows them how authentic your giving is, because if you can receive you are in balance. This is an essential piece for many of us to truly be resilient and sustainable in our work and relationships, to learn how to be taken care of as well as care take. Thank you Vanessa, Max and Serena for allowing me to be your Guardian; Janet and Deni my fellow Guardians for a beautiful experience of harmonious team-work; and the entire gathering for allowing me to both give and receive. It was an honor.

Vallecitas Retreat Center

I would like to share a little taste of each of the presenters at this year’s event…a little snapshot of the gifts we received during this potent week. There are links to all of the presenters websites at http://www.sistersofhonua.org/ if you want to learn more about their work and other events, pilgrimages and local Dream Councils you may host.

Vanessa Kay & Yolanda Martinez

Vanessa Kay Bayesmana grew up in the Pueblo culture of Trinidad, Colorado. She is a Biologist working in Dark Field Microscopy and analyzes blood to find optimal health and wellness in individuals. She currently works in partnership with the Shipibo Indians of Peru to sustain rainforest culture and harvest sacred herbs honorably.  Vanessa is a delightful woman. The room lights up when she smiles, and she carries her wisdom with a gentleness and warmth that immediately puts one at ease. Her offering to the group was both a process of witnessing each other’s current transformations and the nourishment of botanical spa treatments. It was a lovely way to begin the program through bonding with a partner and pampering ourselves through her deep relationship to the sacred herbs.

Melinda Allec on the left

Melinda Allec is an Energy Medicine Practitioner and artist whose training with Alberto Villoldo lead her to being initiated in the Holy Mountains of Peru by the Q’ero, descendents of the Inka High Shamans. Through Melinda’s own personal transformation she has become a valued guide in supporting others in releasing suffering and struggle in their own lives. Melinda has depth in her eyes. She holds her light and her dark, offering each of us a change to embrace our own complexities. Her presentation was a mix of modalities that she has developed to reach the un-integrated parts of ourselves and reclaim our wholeness. The work was both intimate and intense, a powerful taste of the gifts she now carries.

Lynda Yraceburu

Lynda Yraceburu is world renowned as a lineage carrier and practitioner of the lost Gypsy Healing Art of Vas Pesh-HandWalking. She is also an earth spirit photographer capturing the spirit within the natural world. Vas-Pesh is an ancient system the Romani Gypsy people cultivated to care for themselves as they lived their nomadic lifestyle. Working with the hands was potent, quick and extremely effective. Lynda now carries this simple yet mighty modality through her own workshops and healing practice. Lynda is also a powerful storyteller and her examples of life-changing sessions with the Vas-Pesh work were truly inspiring.

The Mellissae-honey bees {Mellissa Seaman on the left}

Mellissa Seaman is a Shamanic Priestess and co-founder of Avalon Springs, a hot springs retreat center with organic gardens and ecovillage in Northern California. Mellissa shared with us her deep feminine wisdom through her YoniSpeak channeled messages. If you have a chance to go see her do this, GO. I was struck by how irreverent and playful the messages were at times, reminding us that we have signed up for a grand game of duality on earth to experience embodiment fully. We’ve chosen to feel the whole spectrum from isolation to love, suffering to bliss, and through the messages in the channeling we could step out of the limiting stories and witness the fascinating process. Wisdom when delivered with compassionate humor is a great gift. I was enthralled. I asked a question about releasing my constricting sense of duty and the reply was when feeling trapped in the illusion to think of how children call poop Doodi. Hysterical. My favorite line from the presentation was  “Feeling is F@#*ing Healing.”  Feel, and it shall set you free. Love it.

Serena Poisson

Serena Poisson has been involved with self-growth and mediation for the past 26 years. She has trained with eleven Reiki Masters and teaches at The Nine Gates Mystery School. Through her initiation into Hawaiian sacred traditions she teaches the forgiveness and release process of Ho’o Ho’o Pono Pono. Serena is a delight. She is a gorgeous silver haired Elder who openly carries the joy and magic of the path she has been lead to. She offered us a taste of  The Ho’o Ho’o Pono Pono method and the Aka cords that we all create as we move through the world. We did an experiential exercise with the Aka cords that showed how bound-up we can be by the conscious and unconscious ties we create energetically with others. We now have a prayer that releases these unwanted cords and allows us to move more freely in our own energetic fields.

Thanks Melinda for the group pic!

Yolanda Martinez is an award-winning performer, drum maker and painter. She is a magnetic singer and storyteller, enchanting the room with tales of her southern New Mexico upbringing as a magical child singing to the land and her animal companions. Through The Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers who have been traveling around the world with the massive Mother Drum Yolanda has been called to be the keeper of two primordial and fierce sacred staffs reunifying the feminine and masculine. One staff has a glistening black obsidian arrowhead as the masculine, and the other has a chalky white stalagmite as the feminine energy. When these two sacred items were uncloaked the entire room stood still and took a deep breath in. The elemental power of those two ceremonial pieces is almost unfathomable. Some things have a power that words cannot convey.

Hillary Raimo

Hillary Raimo is a psychic intuitive, ordained spiritual counselor and nondenominational minister. She currently teaches Reiki, Dreaming, Energy Medicine and Creative Arts. Hillary hosts her own radio show: Matters for Mind, Body & Spirit on Achieve Radio and leads pilgrimages to sacred sites across the globe. Hillary carries her power in a way that is both concentrated and expansive. She teaches women how to access their own potency and live as grounded dreamers. Hillary shared a process of claiming a new vision of sisterhood that is based on respect, trust and deep honoring through unpacking our old stories and creating a shamanic spirit doll to embody the new potential. I was deeply honored to have Hillary use my Oracle of Initiation divination cards within her process as a way for sisters to see both the shadow and light within their own relationship to female solidarity.

Max Dashu

Max Dashu founded the Suppresses Histories Archives in1970 to research and document cross-culturally the true history of women. She has dedicated herself to living as a free woman and has amassed a catalog of fifteen thousand images of women’s true lineage as powerful co-creators of civilization. She teaches on-line courses through the medicine of these powerful ancient images helping to break the cultural spells of women’s disempowerment. She is currently completing a multi-volume sourcebook on women in European folk religion and the legacies of the witch-hunts. Max is a spitfire. She is an early feminist maverick supporting women breaking out of cultural restrictions and illusions. Her lecture on the suppression of women’s power was fascinating, and the slide show could have lasted for hours. During her lecture I carried one of her incredible Female Icons posters around for the group to see. It was amazing to see the fascination, awe and respect in each woman’s eyes as she encountered these ancient images of feminine power.

Max Dashu's incredible Female Icons poster. wow.


Maria Yraceburu is an author, ceremonialist and 13th generation bundle carrier for her Quero Apache Snake Clan lineage. She grew up in the White Mountain Apache reservation in Eastern Arizona traditionally trained by her Grandfather, Juan Ten Bears.

Maria Yraceburu

Maria is a force of nature. The first time I met her five years ago at a Horse Dance Ceremony I was struck by how intense and kind she was. Here was this petite woman with a huge knife dangling off her belt and a radiant smile. To watch Maria in action, storytelling, offering initiations, speaking of the true realities, doing the pipe ceremony and making relations is to watch a woman deeply embodied in her power. She carries her lineage with great honor. May we all find our own inner essence as she has and live from that place.

Melissa, Joy & Stacey

Sister Stacey Robyn of Go Gratitude also did a masterful job of honoring Maria’s tireless work and dedication to all our transformation. She finally got to call Maria forth with a whip of the feathered talking stick {one of Maria’s signature moves} and lead Maria around as we all offered words of tribute to her work in the world. Thanks again Maria, we love you.

On the Novembers New Moon we step into the Apache New Year of Birthing a New Reality. The old paradigm of isolation and solo-work is over, it is time to live our true lineage, together. I am grateful to call this community my family, and look forward to meeting more of you on this journey of emergence.

Yraceburu EarthWisdom Indigenous Grandmothers Summit Celebrating Turtle Island in New Mexico

Next week I am blessed to be attending a gathering of indigenous Grandmothers and Elders celebrating Turtle Island here in New Mexico. Yraceburu EarthWisdom through their Sisters’ of Honua organization are hosting this powerful event. I will be undergoing the Kokua Guardian Training, a very subtle and intuitive way of serving Elders as they offers their wisdom and gifts within a community setting. I have included below a description of the event and the insightful article Maria Yraceburu wrote on how to truly serve an Elder through looking out through their perspective, not yours. If you wish to learn more about Yraceburu EarthWisdom and their teaching go to

http://www.yraceburu.org/

Gathering of Hope, Gathering of Future… uneasy embrace… created by women.  Searching, insists that it’s Now and Here.  We cruise slowly through hundreds of beliefs curving down to earth like the rich, vibrant rain of life.  Sweet success… oh Sacred Sisters, we’ve found the freedom.  Hold onto your dreams.  Breaking out, as you fly in… see the wink of pristine and lush truth of the ancient feminine.  The days are over to work underground.  Tasting freedom.

At the core of our Annual Grandmothers Summit Celebrating Turtle Island is a basic yet sophisticated understanding of the primary functions and power of women as representatives of the planet we call Earth Mother. To read more about The Grandmothers Summit or order the visionary book Prophetic Voices of The Sisters of Honua featuring many of the Elders from this summit speaking of these changing times go to:

http://www.sistersofhonua.org/

Learn from complementary worlds.  Grandmothers and Wisdom Keepers from traditions all over the world will be in attendance at this retreat to share teaching in a tranquil environment that is perfect for the re-establishment of feminine principles.  The true uniqueness of this retreat is due to the meeting of ancient ways the Four Corners of Earth.  Knowledge will be shared and feminine principles for the future pursued in the pristine mountains of northeastern New Mexico.  Living in a traditional camp setting, enjoying the beauty of the land and the teachings of those that come together with something to say that is very relevant in the here and now.  The way of Women and this moment in history hold a rare opportunity for all.  Our Grandmothers and WisdomKeepers bring with them years of personal practice and experience in their fields.  Humor and practical teaching combined with special life in a completely feminine camp are healing in themselves.

Yraceburu EarthWisdom’s Sisters of Honua Project is honored to host this retreat, providing you with the opportunity to hear our Women’s Legacy and participate in circles of discussion concerning our future.  Whether listening to stories around a campfire accompanied by the calls of owls or collecting wisdom from ancient trees, it will be an experience that will remain in your heart.

Kokua Guardian Training overview

Traditional Elders have the capacity to communicate without words, they have a rich language of their own that utilizes sight, sound, and energetic sensory awareness that eloquently expresses their intent and feelings to their guardians.  Your ability to understand this ya’odishiyo – from where we look out – communication and its particular setting is the cornerstone of working with a Traditional Elder.  Being an akicita – guardian, really means understanding what an Elder is communicating to you, not just what you think might be.  By taking into account the dynamic interaction of various forms of multidimensional communiction techniques, you can serve with ease and grace, becoming a valued and sought after guardian.

Creative Guardianship 101

by Maria Yraceburu

Egyptian tombs… Russian songs… clans of Native America… Australian Dance… Greek and Roman myth…

Many people come to me wanting to work with Traditional Indigenous Elders.  I have been fortunate enough to grow up around individuals of high spiritual nature and ritualistic lifestyle.  I have been honored to serve many, beginning, but not limited to my grandfather, an Apache HolyMan.

Traditional Elders have the capacity to communicate without words, they have a rich language of their own that utilizes sight, sound, and energetic sensory awareness that eloquently expresses their intent and feelings to their guardians.  Your ability to understand this ya’odishiyo – from where we look out – communication and its particular setting is the cornerstone of working with a Traditional Elder.  Being an akicita – guardian, really means understanding what an Elder is communicating to you, not just what you think might be.  By taking into account the dynamic interaction of various forms of multidimensional communication techniques, you can serve with ease and grace, becoming a valued and sought after guardian.

One of the things we stress is patience and making yourself a student of observation.  Over zealous service and assumptions often close an Elder down to your true intent.  This behavior is common in individuals needing validation of their own power, it is a sign to the Elders that they will end up spending a great deal of time taking care of their guardian, not receiving the help they need from their guardians when working in ceremony and public settings.  As your relationship and understanding of traditional ways mature, apprenticeship into the nature of life’s mysteries simply unfold with growing trust.  If you observe an akicita greeting an Elder, it is always a confident, yet humble approach, never assuming, always bearing a gift of honoring – and ALWAYS being accepted in joy by the Elder. The expression of honor is received gracefully, with an attitude of acceptance by the Elder.  The Elders understands the intent completely.

Unfortunately many beginning guardians try to assume what an Elder needs and try to satisfy needs where there are none.  I recall one frustrated Elders who asked me, “Why do they assume, are they not here to learn?  Every time I try to share what is needed I am cut off by over talking.  I become quiet, give the look that tells to be silent and pay attention, they are assuming and not receiving, but it only gets worse.  Now I have to spend the time we are working with others, constantly correcting the one who is suppose to assist.  Can you train them, so they understand?”

The guardian didn’t understand what the Elder’s communication meant.  By misinterpreting the Elder’s signals and energy, the guardian actually created more work in a less harmonious manner, than it would have been for the Elder to work alone.  Acting on assumptions based in general societal experience created the problem, making the Elder less receptive to help from anyone.  the proper protocol is to watch and learn and ask in the beginning, before acting.

Maria Yraceburu

Expecting an Elder to communicate and think as the general populous doe will only lead to frustration for you and the Elder.  Instead, learn to interpret Elders by taking what they have to offer and stepping into their world, trying to view life interaction from a multidimensional perspective.  This requires a different thinking process than most people are use to.

Try this simple exercise to demonstrates what I have said in an experiential way – exercise from stone 12.  With powers of great sensitivity, what is of greatest interest?

The point of this “Elder’s view” exercise is to till the soil of your imagination responsibly, to help you sense, in some small way, what things are like from an Elder’s perspective.  A good guardian can receive into imaginative reality the Elder’s communication, interpret it correctly, and then adjust various ceremonial procedures as need be.

The guardian must learn to read the thoughts of the Elder, AND THOSE AROUND THE ELDER TOO.  The guardian must observe closely so that they shall not only be prevented from misinterpretation in human arrogance, but also that they may be able to give the Elder signs of shifting energies and act accordingly in a masterful way that flows in harmony with the task at hand for the Elder.  Whoever can find the answer to the question, “How can I relay this message to my Elder without disturbing the flow of energy?” has won the game and can receive from their Elder whatever they seek to know.

When you approach an Elder in this way, the experience is surprisingly multidimensional.  Not only do you become tuned into your Elder, but you becomes skilled, as well, and the ongoing knowledge you acquire from your Elder’s trust has the potential to bring you into your full potential as you later become an Elder yourself.  an often neglected aspect of the graining process is how the guardian becomes the containing safe space for the Elder’s work, helping others to achieve greater awareness by the guardian-Elder team drawing them in greater degrees of sensitivity, patience and energetic choreography.  This apprenticeship is of the greatest nature.

Often, we speak of ya-odishiyo -from where we look out – a type of telepathy or imagery projection communication, and it’s importance in your work with an Elder.  Ya-odishiyo is standing inside your Elder’s psyche, putting yourself at their center, where they are unique, individual, and understanding them from that perspective.  This is possible only when you want to understand what your Elder is GENUINELY communicating.  To get inside your Elder’s thoughts, to understand from their point of view, you must continually watch, look, listen and feel, since an Elder communicates what is going on through body language, looks, sign symbology, and lastly words.  Ya-odishiyo is not a romantic projection of human thoughts and feelings; it takes into account the whole communication by reading what the major centers of communication are saying.

Your alignment with your Elder will mature into real and compassionate understanding when you learn to blend intuition with multidimensional techniques of earth in a serious grasp of ya-odishiyo and impeccable integrity

Shifting the Paradigm: A Montage of Wisdom on our Changing Times

Blessed Summer Solstice to you! The energies are accelerating, and incredible information has been coming through many messenger about how we can embrace the intense shifts we are currently in.

Hopi Elder Grandfather Martin at Prophesy Rock

I start with the seventh Hopi Prophesy being realized because I am currently in their landscape of the desert southwest, and the transformation I experienced during a Hopi quest changed my life. Four and a half years ago I attended a Hopi pilgrimage with Maria & Lynda Yraceburu to visit sacred sites in the Southwest, culminating in a visit to Grandfather Martin Gashweseoma and his telling of their stories through Prophesy Rock. It is collectively recognized by many indigenous peoples that the Hopi are one of the most ancient, and wise cultures on the planet. I am sharing just a small part of their cosmology, but I believe it speaks to the nearness of our shift into the 5th World of peace. I have included a video from the meeting with Grandfather Martin I attended. Thanks Kym!

Hopi Prophesies

First Sign: We were told of the coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana — men who took the land that was not theirs and who struck their enemies with thunder. (Guns)

Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. (Covered wagons)

Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. (Longhorn cattle)

Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron. (Railroad tracks)

Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider’s web. (Power and telephone lines)

Sixth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun. (Concrete roads and their mirage-producing effects.)

Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it. (Oil spills)

Eighth Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like our people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn our ways and wisdom. (Hippies)

Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of the Hopi people will cease.

Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my people also shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon — very soon afterward — Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in their hearts. Even now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the Fifth World. {through Frank Water’s text}

a Drawing of the inscription on the ancient Hopi Prophesy Rock

This came through from Jeanne Abella on Facebook. I think it is brilliant, and so essential. Another friend was mentioning the role the Grandmothers have been playing in the energy grid. She wisely suggested we also pray for the powerful work they have been doing on behalf of our shifting paradigms. They have been plugged into holding the complexities of our ancestry, and that can be a pretty heavy task at times. So I suggest sending grace and light to the Wisdom Keepers incarnate, our precious Elders and Feminine Lineage Carriers.


The Great Council of the Grandmothers:

You Are Desperately Needed

“We ask you to cast, anchor, and hold the Net of Light steady for the Gulf of Mexico,” the Grandmothers said. “This crisis is affecting the entire world, and humanity is asleep. Wake up!” they cried. “Animals are dying, plants are dying, and your Mother is writhing in agony. If you hold the Net of Light steady at this time you will help stave off further catastrophe.

“You have been lulled into a false sleep,” they said, “told that others (B.P.) will take care of this problem. This is not so,” they said. “And this is not the time for you to fall into oblivion. Determine now to stay awake, and once you have made that commitment, think of, cast, and hold the Net of Light. Hold it deep and hold it wide. Amplify its reach to penetrate the waters of the Gulf and dive deep beneath the crust of Mother Earth. Anchor it at the earth’s core and as you hold it there, ask it to unify with the mineral kingdom of this planet. It will do this and will harmonize with all the solid and liquid mineral states on earth-including oil and gas. The Net of Light will call these minerals back into harmony.

“Whatever human beings have damaged, human beings must correct,” the Grandmothers said. “This is the law. We repeat: This is the law.You cannot sit back and ask God to fix the mess humanity has created. Each of you must throw your shoulders to the wheel and work. We are asking for your help. Several years ago we gave you the Net of Light so you would be able to help the earth at times like this. Step forward now. This is the Net of Light that will hold the earth during the times of change that are upon you,” they said.

“First move into your heart and call on us. We will meet you there. The Net of Light is lit by the jewel of your heart,” they said, “so move into this lighted place within you and open to the Net of which you are a part. Bask in its calming presence. It holds you at the same time that you hold it.

“Now think of magnifying your union with us. We, the Great Council of the Grandmothers, are with you now, and all those who work with the Net of Light are also with you. There are thousands, even millions now connected in light,” they said. “Along with this union, call forth the power of the sacred places on earth. These will amplify the potency of our joint effort. Then call on the sacred beings that have come to prevent the catastrophe that threatens to overwhelm your planet. We will work together,” they said, nodding slowly.

“Think of, cast and magnify the presence of the Net of Light in the Gulf of Mexico. See, imagine or think of it holding the waters, holding the land, the plants, the sea life, and the people. Holding them all!” they said. “The Net of Light is holding them steady; it is returning them to balance. Let the love within your lighted heart keep pouring into the Net of Light and hold, hold, hold. Calmly and reverently watch as the light from your heart flows along the strands of the Net. It will follow your command and continuously move forth. As soon as you think of it, it will happen. We ask you to practice this for only a few minutes at a time, but to repeat it throughout the day and night.

“We promise that this work with the Net of Light will do untold good,” the Grandmothers said. “We are calling you to service now. You are needed. Do not miss this opportunity. We thank you and bless you.”

From The Circle of The Living Earth AIWP’s notes on Facebook

Dr. Emoto

Dr. Emoto’s work on shifting the energy of the water element through intention is revolutionary. Recently, in my own personal work, as well as with clients and friends through shamanic journeying, I have found that some of us are releasing dark black matter from our abdomens that is similar to the oil spill. I believe this is the toxic residue of our own personal initiations in this lifetime and the collective cultural sludge of millennia of pain and dissociation.

Dr. Emoto On Our Sacred Water &

The Oil Spill

Dr. Masaru Emoto, the scientist from Japan who has done all the research and publications about the characteristics of water and how, among other things, water physically responds to emotions, has proposed a prayer for the Gulf situation. Notice the Ho’oponopono at the end 🙂

Right now, most of us have the predominantly angry emotion when we consider what is happening in the Gulf. And while certainly we are justified in that emotion, we may be of greater assistance to our planet and its life forms, if we sincerely, powerfully and humbly pray the prayer that Dr Emoto, himself, has proposed:

“I send the energy of love and gratitude to the water and all the living creatures in the Gulf of Mexico and its surroundings. To the whales, dolphins, pelicans, fish, shellfish, plankton’s, corals, algae and all living creatures…..I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

SongHealer Coleen Renee’s Vision

A few days ago I was gifted with a dream.  Like most of you, I have been wanting to do something about the oil volcano in the Gulf.  The situation lay heavy on me as I went to sleep.  In the early hours I received the following message from the Teachers.

I dream that I am wanting to go to the Gulf and sing the waters.  I see myself singing and through the song the oil is contained.  My mind cannot grasp how this can happen, but my heart sees it so.  Although I don’t see how I can manifest a trip financially and I cannot see where or how I am to sing, I commit to it.

The Teachers come to me and explain that I do not have to go anywhere.  The water on this planet is continuous.  No matter where I stand I am on the “shore”.  Water is within and around me at all times.  Each drop of our Mother Earth’s blood connects with every other drop.  She has blood poisoning.  A wound from within that threatens life.  Sing.  Drum.  Pray.  Ask everyone to do so and to do it often.

Sing the water to itself.  Drum it into wholeness.  Pray in whatever way is right and appropriate for the oil to be stopped and cleaned up.  And even then, sing, drum and pray for the health of the plants and animals; for sustaining ecosystems.  The effects of this poisoning are far reaching.

Do not fear that you are powerless.  Take action and take it now.  Sing.  Drum. Pray.

I see myself singing the waters – RiverSong – as I was taught several years ago by the shores of the Maumee.  But other’s do not know RiverSong.  How can I teach them all, I ask?

Each person can sing, drum and pray as they are able.  Allow the intention of healing and wholeness to flow through.  Sing the ancients’ songs if you know them.  Open to the pain and sing it to wholeness, once again.  It is time for you each to awaken to your innate abilities to heal through love and compassion.  Sing. Drum. Pray.

I share this with you.  I call you each to action.  Sing alone.  Drum together.  Pray as you drive.  Whatever you can do as often as you can do it.  As you pass a stream, lake or river – sing, I love you.  Thank the waters.

Send this call out to everyone you know.  Sing in joy, drum in love, pray with deep gratitude.

Blessings,

Coleen Renee, SongHealer

Barbara Hand Clow

This piece by Barbara Hand Clow is incredible. It is time to dream a New World together, and shake out the constrictions that keep us afraid, separated and unconscious. I liberally edited it, leaving out some of the more technical astrological information; forgive me if it is choppy.  Please go to the original posting if you would like the complete version.

Barbara Hand Clow on the Summer Soltice & Eclipse

The Summer Solstice has arrived, so it is time to breathe, relax, and be sensual; it is time to become fully embodied. Because the spring season was so characterized by exponential evolution, letting down will be difficult this summer unless you assess the great changes in your life and in the world. Otherwise, you will be very confused because so much is going on, just so much chatter. It could be so easy to miss the summer’s potential to help flesh out and deepen what you’ve been creating. Take a look at your Spring Equinox intentions to see how you are doing, and also take note of other things you are involved in that you didn’t even plan on. Something very new is going on: In light of this spring’s tripling of time acceleration, are you beginning to see that you and the planetary collective are capable of critical leaps that you never really imagined before? Are you beginning to feel that you are capable of advancing to levels beyond what you previously thought were possible?

You must be wondering whether this great acceleration during spring 2010 is going to increase even more? Astrologically, due to coming eclipses with Grand Squares, it looks like the unique spring expansion will lock into entirely new forms during summer 2010. Each special creation we are bringing forth is going to explode from within and pop out into geometrical configurations of great beauty; these patterns will form new matrixes in reality that can hold new evolutionary potential. This will be the ecstatic origami summer, the period when 6D descends down into 3D in all the areas of life where we’ve each cultivated new potential.

I’ve never seen anything like the wild, creative, and cosmically formative astrology during this summer season…However, like any great evolutionary leap (such as the Renaissance, with which we are resonating in its early stages now!), we must bear the pain of the death of the old forms as the light increases.

When the Medici family began bringing art into the darkened medieval world during the early Renaissance (1450s), Europe was struggling to create viable states-and that is the time period of the National Underworld with which we are resonating. Also, we are resonating with the early Regional Underworld survivalist period that came on the heels of the 9500 BC cataclysm. That was when the Earth nearly died-and now our seas struggle to stay alive. The spewing Planetary Underworld oil reveals the truth: patriarchal corporate irresponsibility must go-or else Earth dies. What is going to happen? Because the oil volcano erupted exactly when we were poised to remember and process the cataclysm 11,500 years ago, the horrendous gusher is awakening collective memory of the need to survive by co-creating community with Gaia. We need to remember how to hear and see the voice and visions of our planet. The BP disaster helps us all to see that the fundamental basis of the patriarchy-using the planet for human desires-is erroneous. As you will see, the astrology shows that this horrific disaster is forcing our species to make a radical shift this summer.

As we look for how to return to balance, let’s begin by examining the Solstice chart. Due to the insane intensity of this chart, I challenge you: Do you really feel that a potentially better future is coming? If you do not, I am providing an exercise later to help you see why you are a pessimist. The 2010 Solstice reading contains the most ominous, challenging, and potent messages I have ever seen in any seasonal chart-and remember its influence holds all the way to the Fall Equinox. These are the times that challenge our souls, yet I have no doubts that greatness will emerge.

If you are feeling pessimistic, how can you reach for greatness if you can’t imagine it in the first place? How do you imagine it? You must search deep inside for the potential you have always known was coming, and then you must create images for the new world coming that you can actually feel.

This summer’s cardinal Grand Squares will grind up the remaining detritus so that new paths can open. What do I mean? Well, a set of collective beliefs created all the National and Planetary agendas, and now these beliefs are collapsing. For example, the three great world religions are collapsing in a vortex of war and sexual abuse. The elements that remain, such as Gaian experiential spirituality, will be the seeds of a new world waiting to be born during 2011 and solidified during 2012.

The Sun moving into Cancer radiates the desire to nurture and be nurtured as the Goddess awakens in Earth. Directing this womb-like nest, the close square from Jupiter/Uranus in Aries proposes we have the resources (Jupiter) and the creativity (Uranus) to imagine a new world now; and since these planets are in Aries, we will act on this vision. There can be no lying to ourselves or avoidance with Jupiter/Uranus in such a close square to the Solstice Sun, especially since the Sun exactly squares Uranus during the evening of the Solstice. This intense square will shake out the angry people who resist changing our world. Pluto in Capricorn, courageously leading the ultimate transformation of our world for the next twenty years, is right there opposing the Solstice Sun; Pluto demands deep change now. Meanwhile, Pluto is pushed to the max by the Uranus/Jupiter square. Grumbling from the inner Earth, Pluto says, “You can’t survive unless you are honest and care for life on this planet now.” Saturn in newly direct Virgo totally supports the new structure coming in and helps to find ways to solidify it. Saturn is racing toward Libra to initiate new things by joining the other planets in the cardinal signs. When Saturn goes back into Libra on July 21, the world will be a complex design of long strings of aligned dominoes; and then Saturn will tip the domino lines into cascading freefalls. The Solstice and eclipse charts reveal the geometry of the 2010 domino design.

Let’s now look at the other planets for guidance on how we can survive this great shift as it goes into gear; they can help us imagine how to play our own roles in this cosmic drama. Chiron/Neptune, continuing to travel close together in the sky all year, trine the Solstice Sun; they are singing exquisite songs of spiritual healing, like gossamer goddesses playing lyres as they emerge from Greek temples. We are all hungry for the new forms and to know what out world will be like, so Chiron/Neptune are with us no matter how difficult things get. We will feel the strength of summer’s bounty while we change, change, change.

The most peculiar planet in the Solstice chart is Mercury with no close aspects in Gemini, an intriguing placement in light of the reading for the Gemini New Moon. Recall that the previous New Moon set off rapid and constant change, as it opened the gates to our spirit guides if we asked them for guidance. I even offered an easy technique for doing that, which is still posted. In the Solstice chart, since Mercury is still in Gemini, this fast dissemination power continues through the summer unabated. That is, you will be able to call on your guides and spirit helpers constantly, and as you work with them, you free them to dream in your world. As you can see with the oil disaster, we can be destructive, or we can invite the spiritual guides into our world to create with us. They can guide us to solve the great errors that could destroy our planet, as long as we agree to do the work through our own bodies. This suggests many people will allow less media and computer contact, and spend more time with real intuition.

At this point you may feel overwhelmed and wonder why you ever consulted this site. Well, you haven’t seen anything yet! As previously mentioned, we must also look at the June 26 Capricorn Eclipse because is occurs 5 days after the Solstice, and because it is going to lock in the powers of the Summer Solstice Grand Square. This lunar eclipse is going to increase the Solstice potency exponentially; it is almost impossible to imagine what it will create, although an increase in solar flares and a global awareness of the pain to come from the oil volcano are likely.

Of course, the cardinal Grand Square is still in close formation five days after the Summer Solstice, so many things in the Solstice reading will still apply. But, as if to emphasize the importance of this Grand Square, the Full Moon in 5 Capricorn conjuncts Pluto (in the Grand Square), and Mercury in 2 Cancer is back in aspect by moving close to the oppositional Sun in 5 Cancer. That is, the Grand Square during the Lunar Eclipse has 12 squares and six oppositions, and they are all very close. Since it is an eclipse, the Cancer/Capricorn oppositions also include the lunar nodes. This is the most disturbing and potentially enlightening chart I have ever seen. It rings and rings of shifting vibrations, intentional personal changes, and astonishing cosmic forces.

I wrote about Exopolitics-the reentry of Earth into Universe society in 2011-in The Mayan Code, and this eclipse signifies contact and communication with other realms, a difficult possibility at best. Your only recourse is to know yourself when you are faced with the Other, and this eclipse can enable you to see much truth about yourself. Never forget that we are sovereign in our dimension-3D-and off-planet beings can only influence us by working through our thoughts and emotions. [As an aside, I would suggest you’d be smart to stay home on June 26. Any distraction will take down your ability to imprint this extraordinary configuration.]

Our planet will be downloaded through our species with an awesome realization of the danger Gaia is handling; in some way the people will humble the destroyers. As people feel the excruciating emotions brought on by sacrificed animals and decimated water, they will see wars for what they are-greedy patriarchal games to get power for the Elite. I am not saying these things will change right away, but human minds will have changed by fall, which will then change events. Uranus/Jupiter squaring the Full Moon will push these overwhelming responses to the great life crisis into a nonstop transformative mode. This wrenches us into being able to feel deeply for everything else but us because ego is restrained. That is, this eclipse is going to force most people to realize their part in this current destruction. With the eclipsed Moon conjunct Pluto in a Grand Square, this crisis cannot be avoided anymore. Individuals and groups around the planet will demand more and they will fight to survive.

The Lunar eclipse on June 26 is going to set fire to the Solstice agendas. This focus will be very powerful and useful for people aligned to spirit, and it will be very threatening for people who can’t figure out what’s going on. The old ways of life are over now, the ideas that created these ways have already been forgotten, and we all must surrender to this great transformation. We’re all going to need guidance, which is available to us if we just ask. The planet will be showered with knowledge if we ask and it will flow right through us. Your spiritual guides know this is what you’ve been waiting for, so they will help you to be nurtured, secure, and joyful. Feel Earth as she awakens, and some may need a technique for making yourself more receptive to these new forces coming in.

According to the timing of the Mayan Calendar, we are on the apex of an evolutionary shift on Earth. The only thing that blocks it now is us, and the way we block ourselves is as old as the hills. Have you ever heard of the Seven Deadly Sins? All cultures and religions have some version of the seven sins, and I think these “sins” became an issue when religion developed during the National Underworld. I’ve come to the conclusion these seven sins are false denominators of human behavior that express fundamental ways we tend to deviate from our potential. From our childhoods and various other influences, most people have a big problem with one or two of the sins, maybe all of them. As far as I can see, these deviations keep us from switching on the signals that can make us totally free. Holding on to them separates us from Earth and her creativity because the idea of these sins makes us feel guilty and judged. So, I’m going to ask you to review your own personal issues with these imbedded thoughtforms, hoping that thinking this one through will clarify a lot of energy in the collective.

The seven deadly sins are: anger, envy, gluttony, greed, laziness, lust, and pride. During the Solstice, considering each one of these sins; see if you can see where you judge yourself. Where you judge yourself may indeed be a place where you need to improve yourself, but it is more likely to be a place where old religious paradigms put you on the cross. The cross and the hanging deity, the supposed model for humanity, is not going to help anybody reach their potential, so let’s get off of it!

If you can clear away these seemingly small issues during the Solstice, your ability to absorb the great powers of the June 26 lunar eclipse will be greatly enhanced. This could enable you to draw down powerful spiritual forces right into Gaia. This is not about making you feel bad about yourself, it is about getting you in touch with habits you have that take down your access to spirit. These habits often cause you to miss amazing opportunities staring you right in the face because you are avoiding the intensity of true spiritual contact. So, think about and feel how you handle each one of these emotional response patterns, and when you see that you are deficient somewhere, think about how you could change it. Just intend to change it, very much like making Spring Equinox intentions, and by your intention during this potent Summer Solstice, you will change.

For example, instead of becoming angry, realize you have the power to change the world; instead of falling into envy, know that you are the greatest; instead of being gluttonous, take sensual pleasure with food; instead of being greedy, enjoy your blessings; instead of being lazy, be unstoppable; instead of being lusty, have great sex with your partner; and instead of being prideful, love yourself! We all lose a great deal of energy fighting our personal dragons, and some of us even wreck our lives this way. But, now by the Calendar, we’re preparing to bring much greater forces through us, galactic forces that will reconnect us with the whole Universe.

We are ready to go beyond small errors because we are being called to engage with large forces. The next New Moon on July 11 continues the eclipse cycle with a solar eclipse at 19 Cancer. That New Moon will enable us to embody some completely new paths, so prepare yourself for this by changing the small but very crippling parts of your personal self so that you can be a vessel of divine light.

This may be my favorite piece to date about the power and forces in 2010. I have edited it for this blog, but I posted the entire text on my Facebook page a while back.

FIRST & SECOND WAVE AND

BRIDGES IN 2010

By Solara

2010 is going to have a massive effect on our roles as First & Second Waves and Bridges. Many of us will move to a new level by emerging as a True One. As we do, we will come together in a unified purpose as never before.

THE FIRST WAVE

The First Wave are those older souls who have been on this planet for a very long time. We came here under the Master Number 11 to Anchor the New. We have lots of Earth experience and have gathered an abundance of wisdom and knowledge.

After the 11:11 Doorway closes at the end of 2011, the ones of the First Wave who are still here will be given the opportunity to choose a new path of destiny. They will have the choice to leave the planet, to remain here to Build the New or to stay here in a more quiet way and serve as wise (wild) Elders.

Until then, some First Waves will choose to leave the planet this year, feeling that their work here is now complete. Others have simply given up and resigned themselves to living out their final years in isolation. They are so tired and beaten down by life that they no longer believe in their Wildest Dreams.

This always makes me a bit sad, for I am one of the First Wave who knows that we are right on the cusp of the fulfillment of our Wildest Dreams. We are the First Waves who are still rowing with our full beings. Even though we have already completed our monumental task of Anchoring the New, we know that this is the time when we are most needed. It is during the Time of Transition when we have many sceptres of wisdom, knowledge, experience and responsibility to pass on. We also know that we aren’t meant to leave this planet weary and embittered. When we do leave, we shall make our departure singing a joyous song of love and victory.

During 2010, many First Waves will feel a true sense of relief for the first time. This deep relief comes about due to the unprecedented activation and stepping forward of the Bridges and Second Wave. (THANK YOU!!) The First Wave will finally be able to start dismantling their lifetimes of rigorous training to hold on and keep on, no matter what. They will no longer need to put their own personal lives aside so they can continually serve. Now is the time for their Wildest Dreams to blossom.

THE BRIDGE PEOPLE OR 1.5 WAVE

There are some who are neither First nor Second Wave. They contain a combination of both Waves and are here to serve as Bridges so that the First and Second Waves can converge. Bridges belong to the Master Number 33 which will be activated this year with One Being in Action.

The Bridges have an important part to play in the changeover to a New Paradigm. Since they understand the experiences of both First and Second Wave, they can serve as intermediaries between them. The First Wave have many important sceptres to pass on. They need to give them to a Bridge person so the Bridge can choose the perfect Second Waves to give them to.

There have been some misunderstandings about this important task. Some Bridges have felt that if they accepted a sceptre of responsibility from a First Wave, that they would have to carry it all by themself. This made them hesitant to step forward, as they knew that the responsibility would crush them. Or they thought that by accepting a sceptre they would be obliged to do things in the old ways. But this is not how it is meant to be.

The Bridges simply take the sceptre from the First Wave, then look for the right Second Waves to carry it with them. None of the sceptres being passed on are meant to be carried by a single person. Only the First Waves were equipped and trained to do this. When several people carry a sceptre together, it is easy, fun and full of creativity. This new creativity that springs from our true being is extremely fulfilling. This is the new way and the right way to do this.

Before the Bridges can fully step in, there are a few adjustments that they need to make. These have to do with guilt, adversity and fear. Many of the Bridges carry guilt. Their guilt was picked up by watching the long travails of the First Wave as they struggled to Anchor the New during the darkest of times, without being able to do anything to help them. When the Bridges finally came to this planet, many of them mistakenly felt that they needed to experience the same hardships as the First Wave, so they threw themselves into numerous dense situations where they damaged themselves. Or they felt that they had to catch up with the First Waves by cramming themselves full of outdated spiritual knowledge and practices. Unfortunately, none of this was necessary. All they needed to do was to arrive here fresh, full of LOVE and ready to leap in.

Another element that Bridges need to transform has to do with adversity. They tend to take any criticism too personally and too seriously, rather than discern the unclear or ego-driven motives of the person attacking them. If they are in a room full of one hundred people and ninety-nine people are in full support of them, but one person attacks them, they will allow themselves to be broken down, then run out of the room, vowing never to return. Bridges really need to focus on the love and support that is constantly given to them, rather than allowing criticism to completely disable them. Once they do this, they will be able to step forward into their true magnificence.

Often Bridges are riddled with fears and insecurities. They fear failure; they fear that they are not capable enough; and they fear that if they take on any responsibility that it will break them. Even though they are extremely creative, they feel that they need a safety net in place before they can start something new. What they don’t yet realize is that there actually is a huge safety net in place for them when they make the leap into becoming True Ones, but they just can’t see it from their present perspective.

Some Bridges think that they will be able to avoid their fears if they stay hidden on the sidelines, but they cannot. They are needed too much right now to be ignored. Their fears and reluctance to take on responsibility will immediately dissolve as soon as they become True Ones. And this is going to happen in 2010….

THE SECOND WAVE

The Second Wave are newer souls who have had far less lifetimes on the Earth. They came here under the Master Number 22 to Build the New. They have an abundance of fresh energy and new ideas and are ready to create the New World.

Exciting news for the Second Wave…. Your time has come!!!!

During 2010, the Second Wave will experience a massive activation. Your Sealed Orders will be popping open all year long. Your destiny is calling. And there is much for you to do.

You no longer need to be masters of distraction to keep yourselves from being bored. The time of waiting is over. As many sceptres as you can handle are being handed to you. We are all going to work together this year as One Being in Action and it’s going to be fun and exciting. We are going to successfully surf the waves of a massive creative surge into the New and True, on the biggest surfboards imaginable, while the world of duality continues to collapse all around us.

EMERGING AS TRUE ONES

Our Number One Priority in 2010 is to become a True One.

Becoming a True One is our next level. It is also the key to all our future endeavors. This doesn’t mean that we were untrue before. Many of us are good and honest people, but we aren’t yet True Ones.

To become a True One, we don’t have to become anything other than what we really are, but we can no longer hide WHO WE ARE. It is the conscious acceptance of WHO WE ARE on a vast level. When we become a True One, we bring our true core essence out to the surface for everyone to see. We fully inhabit WHO WE ARE.

Becoming a True One is like putting on an exquisite garment that was specially created for us long ago, but that we’ve kept hidden in the back of our closet, not quite daring to put it on yet. This garment is woven from all the threads of our beings, from who we are, who we’ve ever been and who we ever will be. These threads contain all our experiences, all our knowing, our past – present – and future rolled into the present moment.

The shift to becoming a True One happens when we bring our inside true core essence to the outside for all to see. It’s not a matter of whether we are worthy to be a True One or whether we are ready to be a True One; we are worthy and ready. It’s simply choosing to make the shift in our inner control panels to bring WHO WE REALLY ARE out to the surface.

This small and significant shift inside us changes absolutely everything. It changes the way we think; it changes the way we walk in the world; it changes our responses; it changes our attitudes towards our current situations; it changes the way we dress; it changes the way we do things; it changes the way we interact with people. Once we make this shift, it feels so good, because our inner and outer finally match up. We are no longer in disguise. It’s extremely liberating and sets us free.

When we become a True One, we are stripped of all that no longer serves us. It erases the final residue of the long line of footprints in the sand behind us. These are the records of all we have experienced upon planet Earth up until this very moment– our past history from all our lifetimes. Suddenly, we are surrounded by pure, clean sand in all directions. This presents us with a blank canvas upon which we can create the life that we truly want.

In these uncertain times, many of us are searching for safety nets. These safety nets will no longer be found in the world of duality. When we become a True One, we will discover a massive safety net waiting for us in the Ultra Greater Reality.

Once we become True Ones, a huge rebalancing takes place. What was empty is made full and what was too full is lessened. If we have neglected our physical bodies, we will find ourselves turning our attention to them and becoming more alive. If we have put too much attention on the physical, we will be thrust into a Quantum Deep that will require us to be totally still. If we have carried too much responsibility, we will be able to let some of it go. If we have avoided responsibility, it will be handed to us. If we have been too busy serving to have a personal life, we will be given a personal life. If we’ve been only focusing on ourselves, we will start serving others.

As long as we are True Ones, we will find creative ways to financially support ourselves. If we are still depending on duality to supply us with jobs that we only do for the money, then they might fall away.

Part of being a True One is being honest and real at all times. While wide open on many levels, we also create needed boundaries to maintain the resonance of trueness around us. Sometimes, this requires us to be super honest with those near us or to walk away from situations and relationships that are murky and pull on our energy.

True Ones embody PURE HEART LOVE at all times. They are fountains of LOVE; it splashes forth from them wherever they go. They have a quiet authority, being both empowered and humble at the same time. True Ones serve as Sacred Pagodas, influencing their entire landscape, and reassuring everyone they encounter that All is Well by their mere presence. They are constantly giving and receiving hidden treasures while in a continual state of gratitude. True Ones are not needy, but are self sustaining. They emanate a sense of well being, serenity, safety and confidence.

Once we step into the level of being a True One, we naturally recognize other True Ones, even without personally knowing them or speaking to them. And they recognize us.

Whenever someone who isn’t yet a True One meets a True One, they often think that they met an Angel. Being in the presence of True Ones will help heal their hearts and trigger them to also become a True One. When we are around True Ones, all we have to do is be real.

When we become a True One, we don’t have to think of how to serve others or serve the One. It is just natural to do so because it’s part of who we are. True Ones are already so clean, clear, honest and true, that they automatically see what needs to be done and effortlessly do it.

The True Ones live in the Ultra Greater Reality at all times. They are in the Centerpoint of RIGHT TIME – RIGHT PLACE and travel on the Fast Track.

As the year progresses, more and more of us will emerge as True Ones.

ONE BEING IN ACTION

The Activation of the Ninth Gate of the 11:11 will take place this year. The keynote of Ninth Gate is One Being in Action. This signifies a real coming together of the True Ones. We converge from all the directions, like rays of the Sun returning to the center of the Sun. It is a joyous homecoming. And it signifies that we have fully stepped into our mastery.

Here, we form a circle of True Ones. Together as ONE, we are birthing a new concentrated core essence of the One Being. This is when the Jewels in the Crown activate.

There is a large crown with many empty settings all around it where the jewels are supposed to go. Each of us who becomes a True One is a jewel that fits into one of the settings. When enough jewels are in position in the crown, it activates and a totally new level is reached.

This sets off a massive surge of creativity. What was previously hard work becomes art work. Everything we do is a creative expression of who we truly are. There is a collective sharing of responsibility that is fun, inspiring and fulfilling on the deepest levels.

THE PATH OF LOVE

The true Path of Love is the Ultimate Path. It’s the final path that can only be walked upon when we have traveled all other roads. Only True Ones can walk the real Path of Love.

All year long, we are going to be walking upon the true Path of Love. As we do, the Path of Love is going to be expanding, deepening, and revealing more of itself. Many new levels of the Path of Love will be made visible.

For example: we may first find the Path of Love while we are passing through a barren desert. Then as we walk on it, the landscape becomes steadily greener. Suddenly there are plants, then some trees, then flowers and a random cow, then birds start singing. We pass a bubbling stream of the clearest, freshest water; majestic mountains appear in the distance. As we walk the Path of Love, PURE HEART LOVE will immeasurably deepen and become stronger and ever truer. PURE HEART LOVE gives us our first glimpse of the White Star. It allows us to see what we couldn’t see before.

The New Landscape will be revealed in its fullest glory.

There is no false love on the Path of Love. It isn’t the diluted New Age “love & light” kind of love. It isn’t distorted love that is jealous or possessive. It is PURE HEART LOVE that is honest, raw, stripped down and extremely real. It is PURE HEART LOVE with clarity, compassion and integrity. Because of its honesty and trueness, it is LOVE that is very, very real.

The Path of Love is the path of Fulfillment. The longer we walk upon it, the more we fulfill our Wildest Dreams and our true purpose. Fulfillment is a key element of 2010.

Once we start walking upon the Path of Love, we will experience the strongest TRUEST LOVE we have ever known. We are able to LOVE and BE LOVED as never before. It is beyond anything we have imagined. And it is on the Path of Love where we will find true fulfillment.

ONE TRUE LOVES

Many of us will reunite with our One True Love in 2010. If we have already become a True One, we will have a much clearer path to full union than the ones who met their One True Loves in 2009. Since they weren’t yet on this level, they have had to go through lots of adjustments before they could fully be together on an Ultra Greater Reality level.

And there are some who mistake old loves from past lifetimes for their One True Loves. Even when the sense of familiarity and comfort is there, this doesn’t always mean that it’s your One True Love. The connection with our One True Love is always unquestionable. Being with them brings out the truest part of ourselves. There is a massive clicking into position. Old layers effortlessly fall off our beings and we feel like we can finally breathe real air.

As we start walking the Path of Love with our One True Love, the path itself will transform. PURE HEART LOVE will deepen as it expands to its new level of PURE HEART TRUE LOVE.

THE 2010 OVERVIEW

2010 is an absolutely brilliant year in which we will be able to experience massive breakthroughs and the fulfillment of many of our Wildest Dreams. This doesn’t mean that everything will be easy all the time. On many levels it will be, but we are still in the midst of the total collapse of the world of duality. This will occasionally send huge shockwaves all over the planet. That’s one of the reasons why we now need to be True Ones and learn how to ride the Quantum Surf on the biggest surfboards we can find. We have to be true to who we are, no matter what the outer conditions are.

All year long, there will be more unmasking of all that is untrue. The disguises worn by the misusers of power are falling off at an ever increasing rate. False motives will be brought out for all to see. Tiger Woods’ fall from grace is a good example of this. Some people will still be encountering their Perfect Storms. When this happens, we need to be ultra honest and go right into the center of the storm. This is the only way through a Perfect Storm. When they appear, they cannot be avoided.

Some people are still afraid that they will lose control if they allow themselves to be unpinned from duality. Or that they will go so far away that they will not be able to return to Earth. Or that perhaps they will go crazy if they are unpinned. Many of us still have a belief that we need duality in order to be grounded; that we have to keep one foot in duality or we will fly away. However, this is no longer true. I know this from my own first-hand experience. I don’t live in duality and I am still very grounded. I pay my bills on time and remember to feed my cat. All we need is to be REAL.

We are Earth – Star Beings. Once we step into being a True One, we are so greatly expanded that we reach a new level of groundedness that is no longer dependent on duality. What is important is to live in the Ultra Greater Reality at all times. And then to take our Ultra Greater Reality self out into our everyday lives.

This is a year of many doors opening and closing. Some things that have been with us for a very long time will suddenly be gone. Old ways of doing things will be transformed into new approaches. Old roles and definitions of who we thought we were will be released and our truer selves will appear. Doors of some relationships will close and new ones will open. Financial doors will close and new ones open. Doors of our old home environment will close and the doors of our right, new places will open. Whenever a door closes, it’s important that we don’t try to force it back open. This simply won’t work. If we give the closing doors too much of our attention, we might miss the sparkling open doors that are beckoning to us. Whenever an old door closes, immediately look for the new door. It will be there.

For several years, we have trained ourselves to row night and day, no matter what. At times, this has been extremely difficult. We have rowed in all kinds of weather. We have rowed even when we were using the last of our strength. Occasionally we have been flattened by the waves, then as soon as we could, we got back up and continued rowing. This required constant effort, massive dedication and focused intent.

But as we continued to row into the direction of the New and True, we became larger and more resilient. The things that used to capsize us no longer did. Using ever bigger surfboards, we were not so tossed about on Choppy Surf. Our ride became smoother, our strokes surer. The uncertainty as to whether we would make it or not was replaced with a new confidence and sureness.

In 2010 we will still be rowing with our full efforts. Yet it will be noticeably different. We will find that each stroke we make takes us much further than before. It will feel as if the water opens up to us without resistance, enabling us to move forward with a new smoothness. Our steady strokes make shimmering spirals of great beauty, encouraging us to keep going. We ride a new creative surge that propels us forward. The current starts moving with us, taking us deeper into the New and True with ease.

Everything that happens to us all year long is for the purpose of making us more True, more Real, more Free, more Loving, Loved and Fulfilled. This is especially true of the challenges that will be given to us. They are all perfect set ups to make us True Ones. Increasingly, we will be released from our old situations. We will almost be popped out of them, rather than having to try to laboriously extricate ourselves from them. We don’t need to try to force things to happen.

All the while, a New World is being born, right here on the physical, but in a greatly expanded frequency band. As the New Landscape is revealed, some of us will no longer feel the need to move to new locations. Others of us will definitely relocate, often to a distant part of the world.

Throughout the year, we will feel a deepened Trueness. This will feel like arriving at a place where we REALLY haven’t been before, but it immediately feels like home.

Those who are true and real will be traveling on a massive Fast Track. Yet, although much will be happening, it will not be overwhelming because we will not be doing it alone.

Our primary task in 2010 is to embody PURE HEART LOVE as a True One and walk upon the Path of Love. Once we do that, everything will click into position in perfect rightness. This is a year in which absolutely everything is possible.

in 2010 let’s give ourselves the ultimate gift of becoming a True One and walking the Path of Love.

Coyote New Year yraceburu EarthWisdom

It is snowing here in Santa Fe and my heart is  full from yesterdays Yraceburu EarthWisdom Apache New Year Coyote Fire Ceremony. We burned the sacred objects we had created releasing our intentions, wishes & blessings into the coming year. The event was filled with old friends and family members and new wonderful connections. The next event will be the  Bear Way Dreaming retreat where we will all stay up on the night of the solstice and shamanically dream a new reality together. It sounds extraordinary, and I hope you will join us. Registration ends for that event on November 20th-5 days from now. I look forward to sharing other Community circles, Rites of Passage and Festivals of joy with you.
