An Overview
Since my last Earth/Sky journey to Bimini/Bermuda Triangle at the Fall Equinox, I have felt nearly speech-less while allowing the stillness of Winter Solstice its own darkness and resource. I have been watching as events on the world stages imploded and exploded themes of change, deconstruction, and adaptation. From earth changes to governments falling, potential global crises peaking and then seemingly neutralized overnight; as well as world occupy movements to protest the status quo... to the dynamic changes taking place in human bodies and all matter. Ho! What a show and with so many predictions and speculations. I have viewed from a lens of the Bermuda Triangle activation with focus and interest. We are now 5 months into the energies that were released and the frequencies will continue over the next 9 months to saturate our globe.
 
The Bermuda Triangle activation/release was called by Gaia, Star Nations, Galactic Council and frequencies such as Ra. Spirit guided that Consciousness on this planet had reached a peak level whereby, the "Atlantean mind-set" was ready and wanted to release the bondage  after thousands of years. The judgement of it as failure and/or the desire to replay it and continue more control needed and was ready to release and clear itself. Those who have wanted to control the earth have wanted in the past to play a "win" Atlantis game with all its power and mystical knowledge. Yet, the Atlantean old guard consciousness finally became aware that it was "game-over". It also realized that greed was self destructive. When we as a human species got "bumped on the head" and went unconscious for thousands of years in separation, we were easily manipulated by a survival and often fear based reactivity to being spirits in physical form. This has been noted and discussed by many. What I want to offer is that when this "bondage of Atlantean mind set" was released at Equinox 2011, Spirit guides stated that the next 15 months would inspire "revealings" first before the "releasing" of old paradigms based on greed and control from a fear based belief in lack.
 
Of course, exposures, disclosures, and deconstruction of beliefs on collective and individual levels has been dynamic and dramatic to say the least. Our perceptions of what "serves" the individual is beginning to be understood as interlinked with All in a divine weave. It will request our patience, faith and human ability (humility) to adapt as more deconstructs to create space for new paradigms, archetypes and wisdom teachers for this next New Age in Aquarius. I am aware that there are many frequencies, many creator gods, and forces of cause and affect that have been in both harmony and disharmony with the greater Reality. Therefore, I am viewing the Triangle activation as a confirmation and part of a whole energy movement taking place. I have been surprised by this much activity only 5 months in. 2012 feels like a great Wind ... accelerating...unstoppable.

16 years ago when I began service with Earth/Sky grid work, I remember my spirit guide (Aronk and Atlantean Master) offering: " When the intelligences of the inner earth let go....those on the surface will release control". I do not pretend to understand all this; yet, I feel this is now taking place! It often seems the Elite that are viewed as "the bad guys" who have resisted to the end of the rope/time. Yet, me might contemplate or recognize that they too were manipulated by "unseen" forces playing agendas out. It is wise to always remember that much more is going on than appearances. As in all personal or universal transformations our perceptions of Life change radically when life shifting events shake our reality and bring us to our knees. Consequently, for anyone who has experienced such a crisis or altering, one must discover a new perception and navigation or one remains very stuck in fear, bitterness etc. which has a very weak power for transformation to happen.
 
Our heart wisdom urges caution and great discernment in these very deconstructive and adaptive times. That is, we can tend to celebrate with blame and judgment. We as a human species have a tendency to want to see/be free FROM bondage rather than contemplating from a different dimensional perception: What do we want Freedom For?  As well as contemplating deeper: What is the true nature of freedom? I remind that anything consciousness is against; it will attach itself like glue to be journeyed. An example often given is: Like the preacher railing against others for sleeping with their secretary is bound to find himself in that bed...exposed...down the line. Yet, ego is so tricky. It likes to feel a superior boost when the seeming "bad guy" falls or is exposed. Let us move toward non-dual perception and peace. "Relationships can be hell or a spiritual practice." Tolle. Let us notice how subtle our own conditioning of manipulation/control and elitism permeates a survival element from early childhood through out many cultures. These habitual grooves of safety zones now rear and spew like dragons unleashed. We can acknowledge, honor, see its limitation and release with awareness, allowance and acceptance. The tools being sincerity, honesty, and inquiry. This is the magic, mystery and alchemy with higher self or greater Reality.

What was also released from Atlantean expression at the Triangle was the sacred technology of physical form that had been held in bondage in duality. It created great  difficulty for the whole of humanity to be able to embody cosmic or celestial consciousness in physical form. A few Masters in our history showed us this potential. Now we as a human family have a much greater opportunity if not a calling. Indeed many of us have been journeying the spiritualizing of matter as new cells, new bodies, new life etc. I have been going through this process for 20 years. It seems clear that there are variables and factors with harmonic resonances different for each individual. These physical changes can be subtle or dramatic. I feel we also mirror earth and her changes. Much awakening/change is going on deep levels with all cores (earth core, all suns, human solar plexus, galactic center, great central Sun et. al!!) Our Light bodies with our Sun and our Mother Earth are basically atomic nuclear reactions. This is happening in order to "be able to absorb more energy" for our physical evolution/ transformation.That is, to form shift consciously to 5th dimension while staying in form. So along with the deconstruction of the old, adapting to the many dynamics for balance; we are also in a nuclear... NEW CLEAR energy as Consciousness. Whew...so easy does it...allowing as much attention to RELAX as possible.

Alpha Centauri and other Star gates have offered that our subtle bodies (emotional, mental, spiritual...non-physical) are being infused with the celestial energies from the far reaches coming through our Sun as the alchemical energy "engine" to CHANGE PHYSICALITY for our shift. All subtle bodies are merging and affecting and effecting all in form...hmmm... So much for hiding and protecting our secrets, fears, arrogance, denials and the like. Lights (ouch) on... Sometimes we want the walls to come down but not our walls. Ho! This cannot be stopped. The admonition however, is that we flow with this that is beyond our human understanding rather than create artificial realities. If we "live in an artificial bubble" we will be walking disembodied shells that will destruct...die. Why? Because we will not be able to hold the vibrational frequencies for the new vital Life in form.

Our Star family suggest a tool to bring some greater ease to this process. It is simply to PLACE ATTENTION ON OUR SUN WITH SACREDNESS. To allow all these invisible rays with our attention, intention and discipline to move through our entire embodiment. So all children of the Sun look up! Ho. We are going through e-motional, physical, mental and  spiritual gyrations in this process of activation merging of our subtle bodies...so be attentive to energy around you. May we dance and let go with as much humor as possible and discipline our focus to bathe in the Sun's invisible rays as they increase to a bandwith up to Dec. 2012 and thereafter.

We are each of us in different harmonics with our "revealings" and "releasing" of attachments to 3D. Sometimes when we least expect it, our "old" navigation ways, systems, habits or beliefs just shut down...disfunction...suddenly that causes great concern or fear. This can be very disorienting even shocking to our systems. Further,lies are more apparent as transparency cleans and clears our muddy waters of opaque layers like a white crystal salt rub detergent. Naturally egos are thin skinned and reactive now as the process of unfiltering unfolds...as veils dissolve. It is wise to be gentle and simple with ourselves and each other; so we can adapt to new frequencies with less harmful side affects.

If you have had one or many Life changes that looked like a "head on crisis"; you may assist others going through such experiences with wisdom, allowance and heart felt understanding.  Be it the loss of a loved one, career, life style,addiction bottom etc. whereby your entire way of being was no more. GONE. A Death. It can be a very challenging experience and all will go through these portals as we release 3D attachments. Only to realize, "oh it is the end of my world for a new world". We will either become rigid or flow with growth or self destruction. Many times when we face a black hole, our egos want to fill the VOID of this transformative experience like ASAP. We tend to want a substitute an instant "new world view" package right away or fill what Life has seemingly taken away. Stuffing, avoiding, pontificating, grasping on on on... Sound familiar? Wisdom urges great caution and discernment with precious void experiences. It takes some "getting used to" for maturing to ripen consciousness in these states.
   Be Aware
There are many out there more than willing to sell a "wrapped up package" bill of goods for your new eternal happiness. There seems to be also a tendency to project a perfected 3D picture into a higher dimensions and sell this as "future heaven" of 4D/5D. Be Attentive. This distraction can be dangerous in its lull of promised desires, illusion and delusion often fused into the hardest nut to crack: a spiritual ego.

This distraction can inhibit our already accelerated deconstructive and adaptive processes ongoing. These "wrapped packages" are projected from the old energy into a much higher frequencies and different conscious way of experience in form on a planet changing.... Bottom line, this is ego inflation in the FUN HOUSE attached to artificial constructs that it believes are real and in its control. There may be a tendency to inflate this year, as we become more unfiltered and ego feels less than.. Perhaps, if we want to be activist, we could be FOR something, like the empowerment of All, without being attached to what that might/ must look like. That is, being for without being against. A sacred focus and honest practice.

Gaia once spoke to me and called 2012 the year of the Midnight Sun. Other spirit guides call it the time in the big "fun house". whoa...trick or treat...hide or seek...get fried. When there is so much change, always old measurements and systems break down. Yes, our demons will try all tricks as shadows held down surface with subtle body activations and become very agitated. Even the the most inflated ego will hit a ceiling eventually and realize "OH...I have been dense"...then deflation. Tao/Life has its ways. Rather than the "desires of "I want. I don't want" being fulfilled, Life may offer us NO-THING or ALONENESS as its great gift. My experience of an authentic path has been a
 deconstructive process.

Continuing..
  The higher frequency Gaia released through the Triangle last Equinox; also had a time frame of 14-15 months. It was interesting that this was the same time frame as the release of Atlantean bondage. Now energy can flow again and the needed gifts of that age can be of benevolent service and insight. As best I could understand both released simultaneously. Spirit stated that the "strands of DNA from inner earth core would began weaving with all the strands from the Universe. How this will be experienced...I have no clue. Yet, this clearly changes our bodies and consciousness as it does all matter in the universes.


 

Recent Experiential Living Shaman work with Earth/Sky

On Candlemas when I was in Crestone,Co, I was called in meditation to travel to the southern hemisphere of our planet. It was an out of body travel. I first circled around New Zealand. There was disruption and I glimpsed the ring of fire. I called to the Maori and other elders who I have worked with over the years. (Later, spirit guides offered that there is much earth movement in New Zealand albeit not much in the news). I was the guided to the south pole. I felt/saw energy like stuck, aborting or shifting. I could not understand. I just stayed there and then the energy  seem to move again like curved lines back toward the north pole. It seems Self was sent to assist for balance.

There are so many reflections of the magnetics shifting as inner earth heats up and frequencies coming through our sun. I don't know how this will unfold. Some speculate a pole shift or that this is already occurring. Certainly the magnetics are changing on our planet and everywhere it seems with suns etc. I wonder if we even have appropriate instruments for such measurements as dimensions shift?

So what can we do? Perhaps, we might focus on balancing our energy and become masters of Energy rather than "knowledge". For example, we might support the ring of fire with a feeling of wholeness or longing for wholeness. I am aware that many of you are energy workers. I have received from some dormant abilities surfacing to balance their own body/mind construct at this time. Allowing a focus or more sensitivity to energy and mastering balanced states is a great gift to offer self and our world now.

Others have far more expertise, insight, speculation or information of how the cells of all material life forms are are changing internal systems and pathways. That is, I guess how the magnetics are holding/releasing to accommodate the Conscious shift. What I know is the symptoms such as aches, pains, nausea, blurry vision, base of spine (fissures opening = hurts),anxiety, sense of urgency, tired, e-motions intense, mind--well...gyrations dancing, appetite, food changes, headaches, peripheral vision anomalies,... to name a few. I place my hands on belly and heart and say ALLOW. I find Geomatrix also useful. I remind myself to relax often. It is not always comfortable re birthing. So be it.

I feel that this last moon cycle that initiated on Feb.21 with Sun and New Moon in Pisces is a very transforming potent energy before the Spring Equinox. With Neptune moving into Pisces as ruling planet, I feel we are in a major deepening and dissolve not only of paradigms of the last Piscean Age, but also the dissolve of our illusions. Its misty and dis-anchoring. Our perceptions of reality and self may be quite surprising at this Equinox! It is a let go, completion and fertile moon before spring. I feel what is and has been moving deep within will begin to push to the surface with an energy we may never have experienced before.

Living Shaman work with Earth/Sky Feb.25,2012  
I was in Abiquiu, NM mediating at the edge of a beautiful rock formation canyon called the "White Place". Sensitives have walked these grounds and some of their visions have been told to me. Certainly, many ancestors and spirits dance in this area. The Hopis and others have anchored energy here. I was sitting on the ground mediating with the Earth and Sun on a cold morning. The Sun was beginning to offer more warmth. I was in absorption intent with  attention to Sun as recommended above. I was quite deep in a meditative state when a voice said, "We are ancient ones". I then saw petroglyphs of one of the familiar figures with antennae...not a human depiction. I saw a picture of antelope figures. An antelope animal spirit was slightly to my side, full size. I said, "Are you Anasazi?" It said,"No. We are Star beings before them." They then transmitted but not in words. I received that when they came to this planet eons ago they infused uranium with a stellar frequencies/intelligence. They had been waiting for the appropriate timing when this mineral would began to awaken and or began to release its star seeded intelligence. It seemed they were asking me to witness and participate, as this mineral began to emanate a new frequency that had been dormant for thousands of years. I then saw vertical golden rods in no specific order. It was transmitted that there were 11 golden rods. I was shown an underground stream deep in the earth that felt like a different quality or water. I associated these elements with a nuclear reactor. I sat with this for sometime feeling the energy.

 I was later guided to ask Bill (I was staying with a couple) who months previously I had walked the White Place with and remembered his connection to minerals and the Star gate Arcturus. We were guided this day to sit at a labyrinth the couple had constructed years ago. It seemed for power, balance and focused connection with the earth. I guided him deep into earth and communicated spirit's messages to him. He later said he had a powerful new experience of his energy (subtle) body very large in the ground, and yet aware of his physical body above. He was very pleased with his many experiences and service. He had never astro traveled till then.

After this second meditation at the labyrinth with Bill, Star beings and uranium activation, I went to the lake in my car. Thoughts came that all the uranium was in communication as star seeded uranium emanated a new frequency. I prayed for honor and respect as this mineral and its transmuted plutonium component has been misused in our exploration with nuclear energy, weapons and reactors. I prayed for balance with all nuclear reactors. I was especially focused with Japan as I had also been called to work with that one's meltdown.

I was interested in research that uranium is 92 At. weight. 9+2=11. 11 a master number, illumination, gateway and the # of rods in visionary experience with star ancestors. When this white metallic element was discovered, it was named after the planet Uranus. "Uranus has a nature similar the Mercury in its nervous and mental impact, but it is much more powerful, violent, fanatical, and harder to handle for the physical body. Uranus represents the freedom urge. It is the planet of extremes and sudden change. It is a force which destroys the old to allow room for the new..."

I feel this energy from below activating. It was transmitted that its timing to awaken now was also influenced by Earth's core heating up and becoming molten liquid to a signaling point. These Star beings knew with precision and must have traveled at the speed of thought as parents for its birthing. So this could be a very transformative energy. May we honor this as useful for human,earth and sky for our awakening. May all our bodies flow more like liquid. Drinks lots of water this moon cycle. I feel this coming Full Moon may be jewels of revelations. It has been a gift seeing the starry wonder of our skies with Jupiter, Venus and Crescent moon dancing in exquisite configurations. I wonder...I wonder...I wander...

It has and continues to be fascinating how much the elementals are calling and getting our human attention! The earth, air, fire, water and ethers. The Mineral Kingdom, so often viewed or experienced, "like a rock" is shaking, rattling and rolling its vibrational expression in multiple aspects of our world. Gold and Silver have been on the stage of our economies as are precious minerals and natural resources. Also, be aware that gold and silver are great alchemical agents for our form shift now. Gold (heating and expanding) and silver (cooling and contracting). Copper having its day as grand conductor. It may assist wearing these minerals or even bonding the three above together. I just visualize a silver sphere, gold around it with copper down the middle.

Other elements such as oil (iron oil) has been getting our attention for sometime...speaking from its depths such as with the Gulf situation. Many have been inspired by crystals as well as crystals activating at grid points. Our fascination with crystal skulls and their star seeded codes and intelligences continue to call and fascinate us. It is interesting that uranium is denser than lead, yet not as dense as gold. May we listen and be in the honoring of our kingdoms and families on earth perhaps, showing us much about "spiritualizing" matter. May we honor by simply giving them our full attention and wonder. Further, it is fascinating how our Star Elders (aspects of our selves) speak and sing to us new songs for our consciousness through the many kingdoms of animals, plants, minerals etc. May we be open with innocence to their new songs and languages on different vibrational dimensions be it denser or lighter.

I am finally creating Sacred Circles again. The next one is on March 8 the Full Moon essence in Santa Fe, NM. More soon on tours to NY and Pa. in April.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who participated, gave of yourself and energy for the Sacred Journeys from 1995-2011. Thank you all for putting up with myself, yourselves, group dynamics, Earth and Sky, and multiple challenges this work offered that was beyond human understanding. It was indeed very challenging! With grace, love, joy and sadness, I want to acknowledge our beloved Georgia Matsumoto who passed on the last Full Moon essence. She was on the first and last journey to the Bermuda Triangle as well as journeys in between. I feel her laughter, child like essence and her wisdom continuing... She was a teacher and guide to many of us in so many ways.

Warm embrace of love. Journey well for the benevolent good of All.

PASS IT FOWARD IF IT INSPIRES. THANK YOU ALL.

This is a powerful cosmic time to come together with integrity of a sacred focus. I personally do not feel attached to any specific Mayan information nor channels at this juncture. It is clear to me however, that we are at the end of a grand cycle and age. The cycle is way beyond Earth cycles, our Solar system for it is Universal awakening core essence in ALL and its release. Whew! HO! It is clear that the human clock is broken and cannot be fixed. We can all see consciousness rising up to empower and create a more equitable society. We may continue to see "bondage" on all levels of beliefs, religions, politics, money. trade,relationships and the like being exposed. The inner and outer will continue its potent reflection. Our emotions (feelings) will be our greatest resource in seeing our own "worldviews" and stories that keep us as individuals in separation, bondage and carrying weights. Our burdens need to be consciously lightened to move with much greater ease and grace through the sacred passageway to a New Age/Script and Light unknown.

This morning in meditation, Sanat Kumara offered that this Now time was an apex expressive event; whereby, passion and indifference created a great friction... spark. He guided that this was not creating "something" but rather creating a most potent and necessary SPACE. I saw a pool that was so cool and clear like a vortex in a slow swirl of stillness and depth.I saw one drop in the air that had not reached the reflected pool. I was reminded that from these pools of stillness; from these creative vortexes in each soul, will guidance and creativity spring forth anew.

I feel our intention to align with our Mother Earth and Father Sky within our own higher self is our greatest and most necessary connection for sacred passage to an empowered consciousness. Realizing ourselves as group consciousness; (the 99) will not be stopped. 


I will also be sharing the amazing journey to the Bermuda Triangle. Our Earth/Sky's activation and its relevance individually and globally for our Shift in Awareness.

I will be available for individual sessions Oct. 25, 27, 29. These are key times to turn within and resource "self" in this movement of the "turning" as consciousness. Sessions are 90 mins. $133.

Blessings, peace and abundance,Lira

Living Shaman with Lira presents a Sacred Circle on the New Moon, Sunday Aug. 28. This is a call to create sacredness with Mother Earth and Father Sky for seeding what has been deeply experienced during this last month of the Lion's Gate. This portal of Sacred Consciousness has inspired and focused our Spirits to "see" and "think" with Heart. During Mercury retrograde and its opposition to Neptune our spiritual communication with expanded "realty" is in a potent shift with an opportunity to deepen and explore higher realms for revelations, embrace and service. Our "known" connections with Spirit have expanded greatly "out of the box" and comfort zones. This will be a Sacred Ceremony to "fall into" and connect with aspects that up to now have been unknown pieces from "HOME". This New Moon will cosmically assist anchoring such potent revealings and spiritual connections that embrace service to the whole with divine feminine (intuitive) guiding and divine masculine protecting the hearth. We will co-create sacred space with the power of our love and intention. Each soul will anchor and seed unique aspects from home for OUR greater good and future "dreaming" .
Blessings,Lira

This Saturday initiates potent forces with a New Moon in Leo/Sun in Leo (11:40 am PST). As always, a new moon cycle is a time of deepening for clarity with pure intent. What one wants to seed for manifesting in the next 28 days is the focus. It is wise to also always create space to receive for (higher self/universe) the seed (energy) dynamic that is of greater wisdom for our growth and journey. That is, create the space for the unknown potential of highest intent.

This Saturday initiates potent forces with a New Moon in Leo/Sun in Leo (11:40 am PST). As always, a new moon cycle is a time of deepening for clarity with pure intent. What one wants to seed for manifesting in the next 28 days is the focus. It is wise to also always create space to receive for (higher self/universe) the seed (energy) dynamic that is of greater wisdom for our growth and journey. That is, create the space for the unknown potential of highest intent.

It is wise and honoring to acknowledge that this new moon's seeding will influence mercury's retrograde  which will initiate on Aug. 2. This is a potent retrograde,  as others have written about….  Astrologist - Elizabeth Jones (please read)
What I have not seen included in these cosmic influences is the inclusion of Lammas, a sacred holy day on Aug.2. Lammas is one of the sacred "cross holy days" between the Solstices and Equinoxes. The cross holy days are feminine in nature, with key grid points to integrate within the powerful forces activated during Solstices and Equinoxes.
These are:

• Candlemas Feb .2
• Beltane May 1
• Lammas Aug. 2
• Hallowmas Oct. 31

These divine feminine alignments that create the space with Earth and Sky grids have virtually been forgotten by humanity's consciousness. Yet, I have noticed how wars have been initiated on the Spring Equinox by political leaders from the Bushes to Obama. Lybia was activated on the Spring Equinox. I was also sad to see the killing of Osama Bin Laudin was initiated on Beltane which is a sacred alchemical marriage of god and godess for balance of opposites and ascension.

These sacred holy days are connected to earth and sky (body and mind) with opportunities for individual and collective consciousness to actualize soul growth. We can be moving upward ascension ladder if you will, by embracing our challenges consciously or we can remain stuck or fall into apathy, avoidance, comfort, distraction, blame and the like. In this way we miss. The powers holding onto control (including our own egoic beliefs, etc.) do NOT support right brain/intuitive/creativity that nurtures a deeper knowing and truthful creative connection with divinity. Control has always sought to disempower the people from their medicine and native connection with Earth and Sky. Such cosmic forces are quantum and affect and effect changes for the whole (right brain).

The way I am beginning to see this grand play unfold may look and feel like a clash with the Titans. That is, it feels we are ... again at a very opportune juncture of experiencing the clash with quantum consciousness and linear duality. These aspects also of left brain/right brain approaches to creativity are seeding new potentials. Initiations are never comfortable nor easy. So much is stripped/cut away (like a bald head) in order to connect with the unseens/whole/greater multidimensional reality. What starts happening is that Consciousness expands. The "games" we/people play are much more transparent. The usual veils, white lies, pretences and hidden agendas are exposed! Opps...naked before All. We can see it in our personal realtities and the circus of politics on stages. Humor can lighten our frustration and anxiety as many are releasing attachments and beliefs around "security", power and what is real to each one.

As Consciousness expands beyond its known path/passage/channel or way of creating; we will be experiencing the "mist" that our friend Neptune will also be anchoring in its opposing mirror with mercury. We may not be able to "see' in the same way where we are going and/or how to create our journeys now. Our communication will need to be as simple and honest as possible. A neutral sacred space with the "just the facts...') can nurture our new found transparency, nakedness, emptiness as we allow such vulnerability, humility that walks hand in hand with exposure by cosmic frequencies bringing new awareness.

We can charge like lions (Leo) with our agendas of self justifications or we can connect with these forces as guardians. We can be useful with guardians to assist us to hold higher frequencies with the power of our higher intentions. In such a meditation of connectivity, we can learn to be guardians .... earth-keepers, wisdom-keepers, crystal-keepers of divine will and intelligence. We can be respondable to our purposes here by embracing and growing with our challenges in our lives.

It is wise to remember transparency in all matters for "self review" is key now. "My way or the highway" will not be supported. The belief that we can still hide, duck and cover and wait for it to pass is denial. Sun (Sol) shines on All without regard to personal agenda games.

A key quest is: What excites your Spirit? To follow this... and with courage of Heart (fem) and Divine will(mas) we will need to stand up to all the beliefs and voices of shoulda, woulda, coulda, wanna be, later, can'ts, etc. To follow without being guarateed a desired outcome our Spirits. Growth and new territory will be great (not rewards of old thinking) but connections with Whole.

The play enjoys the infusion of dynamic with Lammas. This sacred holy day celebrates the sacrifice of the corn king. That is the god Consciousness that peaked in its realization of heights at the Summer Solstice must make a choice to hold onto power or sacrifice for the goddess/whole/the people the harvest. The image is "he cuts off his head...hmmmm) and moves to the underworld to conquer his demons and gifts the people/lands fertility for the harvest by journeying deeper into the subconscious realms. The norther hemisphere will deepen as the Southern will move to the crescent moon or greater light after Winter Solstice.

Our issues will be in our face and will require our courage, faith, honesty, willingness and most important LISTENING. I personally, have been tripping up and not listening to timing. I have pushed or been attached to appointments or dates that were not in "right timing". Its very tricky now as things shift so quickly in the "twinkling of an eye"...CHANGE. whew...I realized I need ever more to stop, listen and get still before pushing on... We have the opportunity to mature as consciousness or hold on to our old guards of attachments, beliefs or choices we made in the past. Our white shadows of self justified "knowing" with unconscious ego inflation is our most difficult Lion to embrace, battle or be dis membered by. Our dark feelings are sometimes easier to "see" and work to love and embrace. Our higher divine self will set up our situations for our growth. As we mature, we will grow more comfortable with feeling in the dark, absence or emptiness, feeling disoriented/displaced and releasing our identifications with linear duality as the only Reality. The subtle/unseens will create a loving and powerful forcefield that we will explore in our own ways and learn how to create and communicate with in our journeys.It is natural we will sometimes make mistakes and feel growing pains. It is a challenging and also very exciting time to embrace change with our greater dimensional realities. We may feel in 2 or more places at once. We may see past and future aspects simultaneously. We may feel and know even more our non human aspects with greater understanding. Growth and Cosmic forces are not supporting status quo. Its time to surrender and move....with the river's flow.

I continue to feel that Water and Sun are calling our attention to this extra-ordinary dance of friction with quantum Consciousness merging with linear duality as our awareness shifts to multi dimensions. This leap will affect everything including new technologies, financial, physical, and most important our emotional subtle bodies. Meditations, prayers, acknowledged honoring with Water and Sun in all sacredness, I feel can bring ease and flow for our journeys to awakening to our Spirit! Gaia is a grand water Being herself!! Feeling more....

Exploring our Light and Dark essence can be a very rich and fertile harvest this next month. We can do our inner work and be clear for the powerful Fall Equinox. This Equinox will be the perfect deepening for higher vision and action in our journeys.

The Forest & The Trees - When Mercury Meets Neptune
By Master Astrologist - Elizabeth Jones

MERCURY IS ABOUT TO TURN RETROGRADE which always seems to strike a cord of "OMG-here we go" from many people. The actual retrograde period will begin August 2 and go until the 26th. But we are already feeling the effects...and this retrograde is super charged, quite extraordinary. Scroll down for new details from a Master Astrologist on what to expect and tips on how to effectively manage and utilize these exceptional energies. Solar Winds are activating and will further amplify the energy.

This Is Not A "Normal" Mercury Retrograde
While every Mercury retrograde has some similarities, each one has it's own flavor, as well. And this one has some very interesting flavors going on. 
Let's recap what we can expect from Mercury Retrograde
We have come to know that when Mercury is retrograde it is likely we will experience issues and challenges with communications (verbal, written, electronic, etc.), misunderstandings seem to occur more often, mix-ups happen with arrangements and plans, computers and related devices act up, etc. (You can learn more about what to expect during Mercury retrograde on my talk, available here. http://elizabethjonesastrology.com/products/mercury-retrograde-2011/)
But this one has an added element that makes it the most unusual Mercury retrograde I can remember.
From July 28th to August 7th, Mercury will be in Virgo opposing Neptune in Pisces. 
To understand this unusual aspect, let's look at what each of them are separately.
Mercury in Virgo loves order, is efficient, thinks in a linear fashion, works off a list and pays great attention to detail. We could say it counts the trees while not even noticing it is in a beautiful forest.
Neptune reveals to us the vision for our life. It rules our dreams, imagination, what inspires us and what we hope for. It opens us to the inner and higher realms, showing us that there is more, far more, to life that what we generally perceive with our lower, rational minds.
Neptune in Pisces sees things holistically and does not see boundaries around anything. (The song Imagine has a most Neptunean message and in fact, imagination is ruled by Neptune.) Neptune doesn't count the trees, it only relishes in them and loves every one. It looks out and not at. It knows that each and every tree is an essential part to the making up of the forest.
Mercury in Virgo speaks to the individual components of things. The details. While Neptune in Pisces sees everything as a whole. The two do have a relationship and that is a key to understanding this influence.
An ideal relationship between these two influences is for Neptune to open our minds and hearts to what we can become and shows us what is possible for our life and for humanity at this time. Mercury then sets out to lay down the plan to make that happen. It is the Creator's Mind in this realm or field of expression. When Mercury meets Neptune within our being and we see that our life is made up of both views, the micro and macro, then we can stay on an inspired course that seems viable and magic happens.
 
Mercury without Neptune's visionary influence, while efficient and methodical, can be plodding and barren. It can feel lost and without hope. Moving through piles of things that must get done, but not really seeing where things are going.
 
It is when these two don't recognize each other that we get into troubled waters and the lower expressions of this pairing play out. We get discouraged as our lives have likely become busy yet barren and perhaps even meaningless. We are mentally brittle, frayed and exhausted. Hope and purpose seem elusive at best.
These two dynamics are intrinsically connected whether we recognize it or not. Meaning, truth is that there are trees and there is a forest. The individual elements make up the whole. The whole includes all it's individual elements.
It is true that in each of us we have a conscious mind that deals with details and the aspects of life that require reasoning and logic (the trees) and we also have within us dreams and a vision for a life that reflects the spiritual being that we are.
The hope and the objective is for these two to not only see each other within ourselves but to also know that their bond is integral to the higher expressions of each of them. This is where the dynamic alchemical relationship happens. This is why we were called into being.
.And this is the gift of this transit as it will bring before our eyes and into our conscious awareness this very thing. 
I recently sent out an email about one of the most amazing programs I have seen offered on the internet (through Healing With The Masters). I don't "promote" such things lightly...in fact this may be the first time I have done so.
It presents the challenge to find the Bond between us all, and particularly during this time on the planet when we often feel separate in so many ways. In this program, we can begin to know see and true and genuine equity and fairness.
You will learn what the leaders of the New Thought movement say about this very thing. Leaders and teachers such as Marianne Williamson, Jack Canfield, Steven Covey, Michael Beckwith, Jean Houston and Barbara Marx Hubbard. You can hear their insights for free by simply following the steps to sign up. It is starting TODAY and will last over the next 3 weeks. Your host is Lynn McTaggart.  Again, it is clearly Divine timing that this event is broaching this very topic that is the highest expression of the interplay between Neptune and Mercury. I love it when Astrology is this clear.
This Bond to all things must exist within before it can exist out side of us. We must actively and consciously seek this connection between our vision for our life and our conscious mind. We have an innate ability to connect the two - in fact it is our birth right to do this very thing. Once we move in that direction, much will unfold rapidly before us as the Universe always supports us in upward movement.

What To Expect & Keys To Dealing With These Dynamic Energies
It is quite likely that you will experience some of the more challenging or difficult aspects of this influence. So I have listed here some things that you may experience are during this time:

• ** You may feel ungrounded and off center.
• ** You may feel spacey, disoriented and even confused or dizzy at times.
• ** If you are "ultra sensitive" to your surroundings you may pick up on others fear, confusion, etc. Be sure to clear your space often! (Taking a shower while visualizing any toxic or negative or draining energy leaving your physical, emotional, mental and etheric bodies is a simple, effective way to do this. ** And call on Archangel Michael if you feel you need extra protection or buffering.)
• ** The "veils are thin" between the realms. As a result you may sense things that you don't ordinarily. ** This may be through your vision, hearing or even impressions. Please know that just because you are "picking something up" does not mean it is accurate or real. Ask that the frequency be raised. Then "check out" again what you are perceiving. OR sleep on it, certainly before you take action based on a hunch. This said . . .
• ** Intuition will be stronger for many, so it would be good to include these insights into your decision-making process. In fact, your intuition may be more accurate than your logic-reasoning mind.
• ** Your imagination may be hyper-active now. Keep in mind this may not always be a positive thing. Don't let it take you in uncomfortable directions!
• Here are some both practical and spiritual ideas that will help you to deal with the above as well as ways to raise the frequencies of this influence:
• *** Clean and clear off the clutter from your work space, altar or meditation space. This clears the way for you to receive undistorted messages, healing, insights and guidance from your higher realms that is less likely to be distorted or unclear.
• *** Adopt the mindset that there is a spiritual aspect to everything that is going on and especially to what is occurring before you in this moment.
• *** Ask for clarity and guidance about what that is.
• *** Do pay attention to details, just don't get lost there.
• *** Get extra rest as the physical body will most likely not have as much energy as usual.
• *** Pay careful attention to what is on your mind when you awake as it is certainly possible that you have a message waiting for you!
• *** Look for the mystical in everything as it may be most apparent if you really see what is right before and around you.
• *** Reconnect with your vision! Find ways to get inspired! Do a vision board, read or listen to those things that inspire you, channel a message to yourself from your Soul. During this time the mind is more open that usual to being enlightened, illuminated and inspired.
• *** Visualize what you know is a higher expression of your own Divine self. Hold that vision in your mind's eye for a few minutes each day.

Sending you many blessings of Grace and Light during this most dynamic time, 
~Elizabeth
 
Get Ready for an extraordinarily powerful Mercury Retrograde...  
 


Powerful Mercury Retrograde Coming Aug 2nd!
By Master Astrologist - Elizabeth Jones
Mercury goes retrograde 3 to 4 times each year for 21 days. And when it does, many have come to recognize its signature effects.
Communications go awry, misunderstandings are more frequent, making decisions is tricky at best and electronic devices seem to go haywire,travel is impacted, delays etc... to name a few.
Mercury is the planet that has rulership over all forms of communication-verbal and written, personal and professional, even agreements and contracts. And so yes, when it goes retrograde these areas of our life can get disrupted and go tilt.
The reason I am writing about this now, a week prior to the event, is because this is a very potent Mercury Retrograde, perhaps the most powerful  I have ever seen, and I've seen many.
 The reason is because Mercury is stationing at o degrees of Virgo while opposing Neptune at 0 degrees of Pisces. How interesting that the planet the rules logic will be so strongly impacted by the planet (Neptune) that rules all things vague and difficult to pin down.
This will create even more chaos and confusion than usual. (I discuss this in greater detail on my talk: Mercury Retrograde in 2011 ~ What To Expect and How To Make The Most Out Of It). This added dynamic will be an interesting one, no doubt about it. Yet while it will very likely wreck havoc with things requiring logic and reason, it may well be a boon to those things of a more spiritual nature. It's all in how we approach it.
Having an understanding of what to expect when Mercury goes retrograde helps enormously in preparing for it. There are certainly things you can do beforehand, and during, a retrograde period that help you in dealing with it. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• ** Make important arrangements, meetings, travel plans, etc. at least 1 week prior to 8/2.
•  
• ** If possible, try not to make major purchases during a Mercury retrograde period (there are exceptions to this...more on that in a minute).
•  
• ** Back up computers, check and re-check meetings and plans, especially those that will fall in the retrograde period (Aug 2-Aug 26 -  This Mercury  Retro Period End August 26, 2011)

 
** And because of the added Neptunian influence, be sure to take some time out for retreat and to nurture the spiritual side of your life.
There are certain things that each Mercury retrograde period are good for, depending upon what sign it is taking place in, what aspects are occurring and more. On my Mercury Retrograde in 2011 talk, I discuss each of the three periods, giving insights to help you understand and work with the energies at play.
You can learn more here: Mercury Retrograde in 2011 ~ What To Expect and How To Make The Most Out Of It
Each time Mercury stations retrograde is an opportunity to work with the mental in new ways, to gain new perception by looking at issues differently and to slow things down and reflect rather than jump. Understanding these dynamics is your best bet in making the most of these most interesting astrological influences.
May you know the light of clarity and the sweetness of inspiration during this time.
Blessings,
~ Elizabeth

The New Moon of July 30th
From Allison Rae - Master Astrologist

The chaos of the past month or so nearly eclipsed the importance of a big gateway alignment coming up this weekend, July 30-31. It's a three-part convergence that I believe is a special invitation from the cosmos to get clear on what we want in our lives and our world, and get started. 

It begins with the new moon on July 30, followed by an important milestone in the Mayan calendar and the Lammas/Imbolc cross-quarter gateway on July 31. My advice: Freshen up your to-do list and your vision board. Dream big. This is a huge opportunity to initiate something(s) new. 

The flip side is that August is filled with more volatility and uncertainty. So get clear on what you want, and focus.

Eco-Spiritual Evolution

Greetings One and All,

[Circle will be in El Dorado,NM. Please feel free to tune in on Sunday July 24th @ 7:00pm MDT]

This is an invitation to the Water and Sun Sacred Circle of healing and enlightening for individual and group empowerment. These are such potent and challenging times, I have been inspired to "call" a group together this coming Sunday. It is wise to create sacred space for emotional healing work and release at the last quarter moon time with Sun in Leo as it will be on Sunday. It is cosmically a time for release. Release of held beliefs or stuck patterns (from shoulda/woulda/wanna/couldas of our ego reactions). Release can be one of the greatest gifts of love on this planet.


Water, Moon, and our emotions are getting our attention in no uncertain ways! Our Mother Earth is going through much upheaval as her ice caps melt to distribute waters to renew, resource and replenish herself.It is her natural cycle.This planetary dynamic is affecting our physical and emotional bodies into depths, upheavals, and reactions with her dynamic and our relationship to her. It is most wise to create time and space with a supportive group focus. Denial and control can be a deadly cocktail now with potential for unnecessary pain, eruptions and drama. On the other "side", this energy can be the most beautiful, connective, rhythmical, rich and nurturing embrace for bathing anew. This saturation has potential for empowerment, honesty, innocence and space to truly open to the "new and unknown Light". Accepting and allowing space of emptiness, bareness and seemingly opaque mist is very different and challenging now or have you noticed? Often our path no longer "feels nor looks like" the way we have journeyed and been guided before. Awareness, Water, and our Sun are deeply affecting the release of humanity's attachments and more... It may not always feel comfortable to "let go" and expand into greater quantum fields and allow a different kind of energy and way of being to flow. It can feel very disorienting and energy shifts so suddenly now. This is so experimental that it can only be discovered in one's own way and then shared to ground it as medicine for our people. 

Our science and our Consciousness knows that our beloved Sun, (Sol) is and has been changing! This is also changing our knowing of who/what "self" is and what it is connected (or not) to/by/ and with. Seeing though ego's virtual reality and allowing our Spirits transcendence and transformation is the MOST difficult creation. This is a time for deep self review to acknowledge what is authentic and what is not. This is an opportune time to feel and master our emotions (reactive and proactive),our unconscious attachments and beliefs. It is appropriate and most sacred to feel deep space in order to receive frequencies of divine intelligence coming from "deep spaces" from our Universe. Many of these frequencies travel through our Sun's multidimensional gateway. This "showering" brings change and enlightenment to all our planets ( also, changing the magnetic potentials of our astrological imprints). So Who/What are we now? 

It is perfect timing for activating DNA/Light Body Merkaba with the "third language". This language of the trinity is not linear. It is transmitted and connected with the power of intent, tones, colors, and high frequencies that are beyond human light spectrum and sound barriers yet can be received and connected to embodiment. The so called "word" of god as we have known it is releasing its old shell of beliefs and ways of navigation that were appropriate then however, not now in our evolution. It is all a grand happening changing every moment. So our listening is key.  


How are you/we empowering not only ourselves, but also "other"? How many in our society truly support authenticity and detachment as an integrated reality? Can we sustain our emotional walk through the void, darkness, emptiness with courage and endurance without reactive grasping for "love and light" shields or whatever for protection or filling a void we skipped from experiencing? Do we push away what we do not accept or know and miss an opportunity to truly embrace what is? It is a process...it is a journey..."there" and "ah ha" keep changing... "we cannot step in the same river twice"! So how could our "concept" of divinity be constant? Most want a concept, teacher, deity, and knowledge/dogma without ever "leaping" to discover.Our "normalcy is being greatly challenged now. Our connective resource to our Spirit and guides is also in expanded fields. All the knowledge in the universe is not going to facilitate humanity or "one" to release the training wheels and ride the bike to discover one's own balance, wheee, new found freedom and yes, of course falls. No one nor deity can do this for us. We are supported, watched and loved to discover our own Light, walk, path and ride with our Merkaba if we so choose.

What can facilitate is a sacred focus and space for an individual to "fall into themselves". The work I offer is not always easy because I am not holding concepts, beliefs nor dogmas of this is the "way". I create the space for each to discover "their" own way and thereby, unique flowering as well as distortions of truth. Sometimes the "absence" of this c space can feel spooky; yet, it serves a grand opportunity to release and find one's own channel, path, authenticity and sacred ground of celebration. Who/what could possibly tell you what kind of flower you are or will be? Why frustrate your Spirit trying to be the "flower" of "another" or even master without ever resourcing the dark space ground to nurture your own seed? We can certainly be useful to the wisdom and "fingers pointing to the moon"; yet, if we never explore and live our own awareness of the moon or get on the bike... how will or has our "knowledge" facilitate? It is a time to embrace even more respondability and service to empower "other"; even if one must give up their own needs, securities, desires and attachments. In the greater reality these seeming sacrifices (that can feel like pain and loss) may be realized as a Love without conditions and service for other to fly! 

Our potential of growth as we shift into the sign of Leo (ruled by the sun) can be exponential, if we create the space for release and surrender as the moon moves into last quarter. The flip side to be attentive to is ego inflation, drama, anger and grandiosity. That is, to put on a pedestal a "false self" grasping for power and attention.Be discerning of false prophets for their messages will always draw attention to themselves as being important. We will be called to navigate these tricky emotional waters and beliefs with sometimes harrowing experiences as potential dynamics of humanity's of love of power seeks to transform into... the power of love...offering greater ease and flow with kindness and compassion. 

It seems the Elite is beginning to realize that greed is a dis-ease. So much of ancient Atlantis' karma of control and power over is its final throws...whew...keep breathing/feeling. Our participation of releasing our own "tyrants" of fears, wounds, and protected beliefs is a vulnerable and value able challenge. Giving to "other" a love that empowers one to fly and/or fall on their own is indeed our call to Light. 

Blessings be with Water and Sun. Spirit guides council that our etheric planetary grid is changing to offer us more ease and flow. Thanks be. Certainly, the grids of light around our own bodies can be in flux and change. Further, our silver cord is also changing! Ho! More on these changes at a later update.

Thank you for receiving, participating and being here(hear) at this precious Now.
Much love courage and authenticity for the benevolent good for All.
Blessings Light workers for your service of benevolence.
