A Blessing for the New Year

 Here’s to the outgoing year, 2010...
May the many wonderful moments (and there were many)live on in our memories eternally,
and may we learn the lessons gifted in those troubling times
that will make us stronger and better than ever.  Here’s to 2011!
For each and every one of you,
may it be mapped with clearly marked paths
leading toward the fulfillment of your Spirits' longing.  In this coming new year,
let us focus on our oneness and work toward each others dreams,
and yes,
let’s all try to go with the flow a little more
and stress a little less.  And most important,
 ( I lift and wave my glass around to encompass the whole of the Earth and her creatures)
here’s to all of you!
 Let us love and respect and care for one other in the new year
as I appreciate all of you now.
 Let’s focus on our common goals
and choose to overlook our differences(minor annoyances in the bigger picture)
to create mutual happiness and contentment for each other.  Here’s to 2011... let's enjoy the journey!May you be blessed!

I got a new IPAD for Christmas... a true story

I had this dream last night: My new Ipad had an app that allowed me to dress a "consciousness" in anything I wanted, like a paperdoll but 3D or actually 4D, and so I spent time with it (her) and then I chose physical attributes so she looked like a princess fairy.

The energy was lovely. I loved her.

She said to me, "thank you but I am not very well suited for your world." So I found these these sharp plastic "legos" that snapped together and had gears and armor and I put them on her and she said, "OK, I'm ready to go."

And then I asked her if she really liked that and she said it was OK except she couldn't raise her arms all the way up and it hurt to talk, something was poking in her mouth. So I took it all off and I said, "just take your chances," and she flew off.

I wasn't afraid for her at all.

I've been thinking about this all day.
Ipads are so much more than they seem, yes?

Wishing You The Spirit of Christmas!

"Christmas is not a time or a season but a state of mind.

To cherish peace and good will, to be plenteous in mercy,

is to have the real spirit of Christmas." 

~Calvin Coolidge, 1927

Today, for me, begins this years Christmas season "moment." Because for me, memories have an energy attached to them which resonates far longer, and far stronger, than the words that were said, the food that was served, the presents under the tree.

Today I get myself centered in the Spirit of Christmas.

"Christmas is that magic blanket that wraps itself about us, 

that something so intangible that it is like a fragrance.

It may weave a spell of nostalgia.  Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer,

but always it will be a day of remembrance,

a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved. "

~Augusta E. Rundel

Today, as I wrap the gifts, plan our meals, shop for groceries, begin the baking... as I tidy up and cut some last minute greens to bring in to freshen the arrangements, I will be mindful of the energy I bring to each task.

I will let someone with a larger cart and three tired children go ahead of me in line at the market and I will entertain the children for those five minutes so the mother can catch a break.

I will drop off a few baskets for people I do not know, but do know that they deserve a gesture of love and goodwill.

I will make a few stops to express my gratitude in person to the Wise Women at the Post Office who go the extra mile to keep my business running smoothly, to the Butcher who saves the best bones for the "Lab Gang," and to my Housekeeper who joyfully does the things I don't like to do so I may do the things I do, in a beautiful, clean environment.

"Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself..."
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976

And I will bring this Spirit home...

First I'll fill my bird feeders and throw corn and peanuts on the ground for the squirrels.

I'll give the dogs big fresh bones and light a fire for them to sit in front of while they feast and I bake.

I will enter this moment with a song in my heart, gratitude for my blessings, and hope for our world.

Every year I purchase a fresh bottle of laundry detergent and put a bow on it ( meaning Mom's got you covered, just leave it and I'll do it). I know that all three boys will bring mountains of smelly manboy clothes with them as they bound through the door, and head straight for the kitchen. I will wash and dry the loads for them, it's secretly a gift to myself, I can inhale the traces of their luscious being before I toss the piles in the wash. I laugh that I once complained about those socks all thru the house. They are pure joy!

"Gifts of time and love are surely the basic ingredients
of a truly merry Christmas"

~Peg Bracken

My family is healthy and happy. There won't be a lot of gifts under the tree for everyone is traveling. I  have always preferred to give gifts of experience, of new people and places, rather than things. When the boys were young and we found ourselves in a hotel far from evergreens and our box of ornaments we would decorate a "Christmas chair" with colorful snowflakes cut from folded brochures from the concierge's desk.

Some years we would celebrate a made up-named evening just by being together and grabbing a cheeseburger, once it was Whistlereve... in Cananda, we had burgers but no gifts, and went to bed at around 9pm.  We woke to fresh powder and we caught the first tram to the top of the mountain. My (at the time) eight-year old, gazing down at the tops of snow covered trees, said in awe, to no none in particular, "That's what Christmas looks like to Santa."

Not a single wrapped gift. Grateful for warm hats and mittens. And a new point of view. Forever.

The energy in the gift has always been, "Go for it, think outside the box, work with what you have, it's just perfect, this moment."

And it is still, "Pursue your passion, try something new, travel into the unknown, go!!!"

(They need clean clothes for that.)

Not everything is perfect. Yes, there are things I am concerned about and working toward. The past few months have been intense, and I am a bit exhausted. I am playing with new ideas, weighing interesting opportunities that challenge me to step further into myself and my own gifts. But in all the challenges we face, we can still push the pause button for a moment and freeze frame the experience we are in, and fully enjoy the distinct moment we are in right now as long as the Spirit of Christmas is present and the energy we bring to the moment is Love.

"Christmas is not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts."

~Janice Maeditere

So take a break. Realize that the best gifts are those of time and of love. Wrap those in the energy of the open heart and you've got Christmas. A moment to cherish. No matter where you are, no matter what you have, or have not... and here, this is how you make snowflakes for Christmas Chairs:

"Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. 

In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall."

~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas

May you be blessed!

Simply BE Love: Little Grandmother Kiesha Speaks on 2012

Kiesha speaks on 2012 from kedarvideo on Vimeo.

During her workshop in Zurich early November 2010 Little Grandmother Kiesha Crowther spoke about 2012, the expected pole shift, and how we should prepare ourselves. The video above is a very simple and perfect description of the process which is currently underway.

I believe that the best gift you can give to yourself is to learn to practice the Microcosmic Orbit  meditation and/or receive an Earth Star Soul Star Attunement, both which will greatly assist you in processing the higher energies available on Earth and which will continue to increase.

The Microcosmic Orbit Meditation is the classic Taoist Meditation method for refining, raising, and circulating internal energy via the 'orbit' formed by the 'Governing Channel' from perineum up to head and the Conception Channel from head back down to perineum. Activating the Microcosmic Orbit is a key step that leads to more advanced practices including the activation of the Lightbody.

The Earth Star Soul Star Activation  is restorative healing which opens the Stellar Gateway, and Soul Star and Causal chakras. When open and activated these portals allow a very high frequency light to enter our etheric field. I intuit the Stellar Gateway to function as a spiritual barometer which measures the intensity of light our field can comfortably hold. The Soul Star is the filter through which the light is measured and flows. The Soul Star also facilitates access to the akashic records. The Causal chakra is the center that opens to accept the light that the upper two chakras deliver, and it assists in higher activations of the crown, brow and throat chakras. This opening will enhance clarity in your psychic and telepathic communication. 

The Earth Star is the anchoring point to the miraculous life force energy of our planet Earth. It connects us to elemental energies, and anchors and aligns all of our chakras from the Root chakra to the first transpersonal point. This anchoring is what allows the Spirit to connect with both the Earth and Universal energies. 

The major function of the Earth Star is to secure the aura in the physical dimension and keep us grounded while we manifest as light beings. I welcome any questions about this process, or any of the products and services that I offer to assist in your awakening and transformation. 

There is nothing to fear. You chose to be present for the most exciting time in all human history. Be happy, be love!

May you be blessed!

Back by Popular Demand! Tachyon Pet Collar Tags at Oshun Spirit Earth Friendly Goods

Back by Popular Demand! Our Tachyon Pet Tags protect your best friends from stress resulting from living in an unnatural environment, being around emotionally-charged humans, from separation anxiety, and imbalances in their nutrition.

Domesticated animals suffer from blockages in their energetic continuum that occurs from chemical additives and other toxins, antibiotics, vaccines, chemicals from sprays, shampoos and flea collars. Because they share our homes, they are exposed to the same EMF contamination emitted by computers, cell phones and electrical appliances in our living spaces as are we.

By fastening a Tachyon pendant onto your best friend's collar you provide them with harmonizing and protective energies 24/7. 

Energetic blockages can also occur from loneliness, inactivity, illness, and physical injury. Some studies also show that our pets absorb our stress, depression and anger, which creates a change in their energy fields, their immune systems, and their emotional well-being.

 

Two perenial best-sellers, we've offered Tachyon Collar Tags and Pet Charms and Tachyon Blankets since 2005 and we're pleased to have several styles in stock and available for Holiday Gift Giving! Elderly, arthritic pets and rescued and traumatized animals adore the blankets on their beds. Just watch those tails wag when they discover the energy. My dogs drag theirs around everywhere, take them in the car, and outside to their mudhole. They are machine washable (the blankets not the dogs) so, that's OK! 

I urge you to try Tachyon Wellness products for your pets. Within moments, your pet will experience an increased sense of well being, an increase in stamina and energy, and a return to that feeling of being unconditional love and being unconditionally loved!

Find Tachyon Pet Tags at www.oshunspirit.net. and Tachyon Blankets in a selection of colors at www.oshunspirit.com.

May you and your best friend be blessed!
