			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shamanic Pet Journeys</p>
<p>Investment up front: $220 . This package give you one initial healing journey and two (2) follow up journeys for you beloved pet.</p>
<p>Preparing: Be clear about what you are hoping the outcome will be for your pet situation.</p>
<p>How it works:  I journey to the Power Animal who works with pets and we call in your pet to the journey world where the power animal does healing work and has a conversation with your pet about whatever is bothering them. We will do as much healing as we can while we’re there. We will also gather information from your pet about what is going on for them. I email you that journey.</p>
<p>After the Session: The client is encouraged to get back to me about how things are going so we can fine tune the issues and check in again.</p>
<p>Follow up:  There are 2 follow ups with this package.</p>
<p>Soul Retrieval</p>
<p>Investment up front:  $120 for up to an hour.  Most soul retrievals are between an hour and an hour and a half.</p>
<p>Preparing:  The client needs to be clean and sober for at least 24 hours for best results. Having a willing and open heart is very helpful.</p>
<p>How it works:  I journey to the Spirits for the way I can assist.  The Spirits give me the ages of the soul parts  that left for some reason and are willing to come home along with any other matters that would benefit from healing. I email the client all that information and if there is some healing work to be done for the client that the Spirits feel would be helpful and healing,that is done in the journey. The client feels in about how they resonate with the journey. We set up an appointment for the session of Soul Retrieval.</p>
<p>The client calls me at the appointed time and we begin. It’s best if the client has a headset if we are doing this long distance.( Clients are more than welcome to do this in person in Austin.) I will be rattling and taking the client on a guided visualization of the journey. Usually other issues come up while we are in that space and we will take care of them as well, as we are guided. I take my time to make sure the client is getting everything Spirit desires for their healing.</p>
<p>Follow up: After the session the client can contact me with any question or concerns (this rarely happens),however, i’m available for answering questions. We also can set up another appointment  in a few months for more work as needed. It’s best to wait a few months for the soul parts to settle in.</p>
<p>House Clearings</p>
<p>Investment up front:  $100</p>
<p>Preparing: The client is clear about what they desire the outcome to be.</p>
<p>How it works: I am able and willing to do these on the property (if you live in Austin) and at a distance.. I journey to the house, bring my Spirit helpers, see what’s there to heal/clear, take spirits to the light, whatever Spirit feels is needed to clear the house, car, people, pets.</p>
<p>Follow up: The client lets me know what’s going on and if more work is needed.</p>
<p>Private Sessions:</p>
<p>Investment up front: $120 per hour (up to an hour)</p>
<p>Preparing: The client needs to be clean and sober for at least 24 hours and open to healing work, sincere in their desire to be well and have a joyful life.</p>
<p>How it works: I journey to the Spirits and ask how I may assist. This could be Soul Retrieval, De-possession, Extraction, Past Life Contract clearing, Unraveling Curses or any combination of the above. When I get the information, I email the client with the journey and we decide how best to proceed. I am able to do this over the phone as well as in person. These sessions are also guided visualizations with a rattle.  I take the client through whatever healing they may require in a gentle and profound way.</p>
<p>Follow up: The client is encouraged to call with how life is going for them and to feel free to ask me questions/concerns around what might come up for them.</p>
<p>Divination:</p>
<p>Investment up front: $50.00</p>
<p>Preparing: The client needs to be clear in their questions. It’s best to ask “what do I need to know about__________?” (instead of yes or no questions).</p>
<p>How it works: I journey to the Spirits and ask for assistance in your request. I then email you the information.</p>
<p>Follow up: There doesn’t seem to be a need for follow up with this service.</p>
<p>Weddings:</p>
<p>Investment up front $100, in Austin</p>
<p>Preparing: The happy couple lets me know what’s important for them in the ceremony.</p>
<p>How it works: I journey to the Spirits for them, and ask for a gorgeous, heart centered ceremony that’s very engaging.</p>
<p>Transition Ceremonies:</p>
<p>Investment up front : $120</p>
<p>Preparing: Many of these ceremonies are for people “passing over” and the preparation takes place in the journey for the client in transition. The family members contact me for assisting in that process of “making the way clear” and connecting their loved ones with family members who have already crossed.</p>
<p>How it works: I journey to the Ancient Grandmothers to call the person in transition forward. When they arrive (a part of their free soul comes to meet me) we talk about their transition. Often times family members still living will come forward (their free soul) and we have a conversation around letting go, usually. The Grandmothers will call in the relatives, pets, friends who have passed to greet the person in making the way loving and welcoming. When the client in transition is ready to move on, the Ancient Grandmothers take care of this transition providing a loving space to “cross over”.</p>
<p>Follow up: The family usually calls when the person has passed and most often says how the spirit of their family member came to visit.</p>
<p>This is quite profound, often intense and moving.  I believe it’s some of the best work we can provide these days.</p>
<p>Blessings:</p>
<p>Investment  up front: $100 (in Austin)</p>
<p>Preparing: The clients lets me know what they are desiring for this blessing.</p>
<p>How it works: I usually go to the place of the blessing and drum and rattle good spirits in for the blessing requested.. I work on the land, building, everyone involved to bless everything.</p>
<p>Follow up: There is usually a feeling of “well being and lightness” after the ceremony.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_5" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 239px"><a href="http://www.shaman-inspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/shoshana.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-5" title="shoshana" src="http://www.shaman-inspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/shoshana.jpeg" alt="Shoshana at the Fairy Congress" width="229" height="320" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shoshana at the Fairy Congress</p></div>
<p>Last June, I spent 4 glorious days in a place “out of time” called Skalitude, which is 4 hours east of Seattle, nestled in the expanse of 120 acres of beautiful green valley surrounded by gentle hills that are home to coyotes, wolves, cougars and occasionally cows. While Iʼve only seen cows I once heard some howling which immediately drew me into the natural world of Mother Earth on a dark starry night.</p>
<p>This place of tranquility is the home of the yearly pilgrimage to the Fairy Congress, where about 250 people from all walks of like and ages come to commune with the nature spirits. What I mean by commune is talking to trees, fairies, weather beings and the elements such as fire and earth. I can safely say this event is about communion and relationships. Often what Iʼve heard from skeptical participants is now theyʼre believers in everything having Spirit and desiring relationship with humans.</p>
<p>Iʼve always attended as a presenter, specifically one who shares Shamanism with those who show up at my workshops. Iʼve been practicing and teaching The Shamanic Journey for over 20 years and itʼs a pleasure to share this knowledge in this way to often first time journeyers.</p>
<p>I love this place and the people who are part of the counsel that organizes this amazing event yearly. I was privileged to be part of the counsel for a few years and itʼs like being at the Congress in mini sessions. The counsel asks the spirits what theyʼd like as a theme and defer to the fairies in many decisions.. We are the stewards of the weekend who hold the space for organic creation of the event during the year.</p>
<p>Iʼm always surprised at how many new people we get each year, who have been searching for a safe, open event to express and explore their connection to nature and all creationsʼ spiritual magnificence. They are in awe from the moment they arrive as the participants are greeted with open arms, warmth and fairy dust, just for fun.</p>
<p>The Fairy Congress has workshops all day that vary from herbal walks in nature; educating people to what grows around them to meeting weather beings who are interested in relationship and assistance in creating a happier planet.</p>
<p>Music is abounding all the time, from morning singing and dancing to start the day to evening shows, finding us wrapped in blankets to keep us warm in the chilly, lovely evening. The volunteer musicians have a light show and a colorful stage to perform. Everyone is invited to participate in some entertaining way. even the children. We now have a specific fun childrenʼs tent for craft projects, games and adventure that the parents volunteer shifts for, so everyone shares in nurturing the children.</p>
<p>The food is yummy mostly vegetarian and we all seem to eat like crazy here. Everyone is requested to bring a donation of organic food to the community kitchen where the cooks create wonders, which also brings me to the volunteer/barter aspect. The counsel offers barter/exchange of help for partial tuition.</p>
<p>The Fairy Congress has an ongoing tea kitchen often with tubs of peanut butter, honey and bread for snacks along with many varieties of tea and coffee. This is a great place to find new friends in the morning as you secure your hot drink of choice. One of the herbalists created Fairy tea which is delicious, just for the event.</p>
<p>People are smiling all the time and feel free to wear costumes as much as they wish. The whole place is like living art.</p>
<p>Saturday night we have our big parade with giant fabric flowers made form cloth and some from paper macheʼ that are at least 20 feet tall. The music starts amping up along with singing and dancing. Ceremony is performed with everyone participating in reverence to The Nature Spirits. Having fun, being creative and loving is the food of fairies so weʼre dedicated to that end all weekend. What could be better. During our parade a big bonfire is created for dancing and singing around as well as our running through the fields hugging each other ritual, not unlike Red Rover, Red Rover.</p>
<p>Iʼve hardly been anywhere a person can open their heart and mind like a child and enjoy the wonder of nature, all the bounty of the Spirits and learn something new as well as get readings, healing, and make sweet new friends in a safe, loving place and eat well.</p>
<p>Next year the dates are June 24-26, 2011. And there is only room for 250 people, and we always sell out.</p>
<p>Join us next year at. www.fairycongress.com and bring your wings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An explanation by my teacher, Michael Harner. The following excerpts are taken from The Way of The Shaman by Michael Harner. Thank you Michael for your eloquence.</p>
<p>“Shamans-whom we in the ‘civilized’ world have called ‘medicine men’ and ‘witch doctors’- are the keepers of a remarkable body of ancient techniques that they use to achieve and maintain well-being and healing for themselves and members of their communities. These shamanic methods are strikingly similar the wold over, even for peoples whose cultures are quite different in other respects, and who have been separated by oceans and continents for tens of thousands of years.</p>
<p>“Shamanism is a great mental and emotional adventure, one in which the patient as well as the shaman-healer are involved. Through his heroic journey and efforts, the shaman helps his patients transcend their normal, ordinary definition of reality, including the definition of themselves as ill. The shaman shows his patients that they are not emotionally and spiritually alone in their struggles against illness and death. The shaman shares his special powers and convinces this patients, on a deep level of consciousness, that another human is willing to offer up his own self to help them The shaman’s self-sacrifice calls forth a commensurate emotional commitment from his patients, a sense of obligation to struggle alongside the shaman to save one’s self. Caring and curing go hand in hand.”</p>
<p>When I practice Shamanism I move between Ordinary Reality (this experience of the world as you perceive it, right here, right now) and Non-Ordinary Reality or the Shamanic State of consciousness, which is similar to lucid dreaming. All things are possible in Dreamtime and to the shamans Dreamtime is Realtime and much healing takes place there.</p>
<p>To me I would describe it as parallel reality traveling which also links up to the whole concept of “string theory”.</p>
<p>In any case, in my experience the shaman aligns with the compassionate spirits to gather information and healing for the client. Shamans are the people who “go between the worlds” working with the compassionate spirits to help others.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,
<div>It&#8217;s been some time since i&#8217;ve written and I&#8217;m planning on becoming a more regular writer with information for thriving in these changing times. Below is an article you might find interesting. please feel free to write me with comments. </div>
<div></div>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Mystic Passage</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">What I call the Mystic Passage is the journey taken by my client, myself and the Spirits into the realm of death.  It’s a place of deciding your fate in terms of the decision to leave your body, making peace with that decision and getting guidance and help from the Spirits for the transition.  This is also the time/space of connecting with the Akashic record keepers. This Mystic Passage in my journeys, takes place on the 7th level of the upper world.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Note:</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">The Akashic records (akasha is a Sanskrit word meaning “sky”,  “space” or “Aether”) is a term used in theosophy to describe a compendium of mystical knowledge encoded in a nonphysical plane of existence.  These records are described to contain all knowledge of human experience and the history of the cosmos.  They are metaphorically described as  a library and other analogues commonly found in discourse on the subject include a ‘universal computer’ and the ‘Mind of God’.  Descriptions of the records assert that they are constantly updated and that they can be accessed through astral projection.  the concept originated in the theosophical movements of the 19th century, and remains prevalent in New Age discourse”.  From Wikipedia</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">This journey into the dark or rather the transition of death, involving helping people “cross over” started some years ago with a fateful call in the middle of the night.  These are the calls you hope you never get and yet there you are at 2am listening to your best friend who is in Chile hiking with some high school students, telling you that her son has been in a terrible accident in Hawaii and doesn’t know if he will live thorough it.  “He’s in a coma, please go find him and see what’s going on”.  After I recover from this news, crying with my dear friend, I tell her to call me back in 15 minutes.  First, I can’t believe my ears as this friend Fran and her husband Jim lost another child just a few years before in a freak accident.  I remember well that phone call in the might and that journey to Colin, 10 years old at the time, finding him walking around his house wondering what happened.  That journey was about showing him he died, explaining what happens next and taking him to the loving, waiting arms of ancestors to cross over (psycho pomp) and come back, which he did by orchestrating his memorial service.  I’ve know this family for over 25 years.  Fran is my best friend.  That memory haunted me as I readied myself for the journey to Keenan.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">I pulled myself together, got out my drumming cd and journeyed to find Keenan.  I went to the upper world to speak with my Ancient grandmothers.  They are my counsel and I go to them for my divination work.  They immediately shook their heads in a ‘No” fashion meaning to me that Keenan wasn’t going to make it.  As I looked away from them I saw Keenan in a prone position with a sheet over him.  I was heartbroken.  It was almost too much to bear and I took myself out of the journey as his mother was calling in a moment. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">The phone rang and Fran wanted to know what happened.  I first asked her what she felt was going to happen and she said she didn’t think Keenan was going to make it.  I then told her what I saw.  We cried.  She then asked me to go back and show him all the reasons to live and if he still didn’t want to live with the results of the accident leaving him with one arm and blind, she would understand, but to please wait till she got home from Chile as she was wait listed on the next flight which would take 24 hours of travel to get to him.  “No problem”, I said.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Back I went to the Ancient grandmothers and this time I saw Keenan as ‘spirit’ as well as viewing him under the sheet.   I spoke to him of all the reasons for living and how loved he was and how much his mom wanted to dance at this wedding and play with his children in hopefully a near future.   He listened and told me how he really didn’t want to live with these disabilities and that while he loved his parents he was not happy nor had he been very happy for some time.  Colin was there with him, not saying a word.   I tried as much as I could to convince him that life changes and all the help he would get and how much he meant to all of us and to please think about it . He said he would.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">I came back out of the journey and the phone rang again to Fran’s voice asking me what happened.  I related the information and she told me his vital signs were better since we spoke last.  Keenan said he would wait either way till his Mom arrived.  The next phone call from Fran was from the hospital.  Keenan had taken a turn for the worse, he was bleeding out and she could not “see” him in his body.  She felt he left and she understood this was his choice.  While she would’ve done anything for him to stay, Fran understood how Keenan would not want to live in this compromised condition and then told me to go back and tell Keenan that she could not bear to sit next to his bed for a long time while he was in a coma waiting for his body to die.  If he didn’t want to live to please just leave and it was alright, she understood.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Fran’s presence of mind always amazed me.  Back I went to the upper world and there was Keenan and Colin seemingly having some conversation about all of this.  I asked Keenan what he wanted to do and he decided it was all too much trouble to come back to his body.  He wasn’t happy and he really wanted to be with his brother and move on.  I told him what his mother said and he was fine with leaving his body as he didn’t want anyone to suffer a lengthy death.  I looked to the grandmothers for the next step and they showed me these two shamans who arrived in robes of white and faces I couldn’t see.  I asked who they were and was told they were the Akashic record keepers.  I told them that Keenan didn’t want to live and could they please assist the body dying in Ordinary Reality, whereupon they ran what looked like some lasers up and down the body until a beautiful gold thin card almost the length and breath of the body lifted out.  I asked what this was and was told this was Keenan’s  Akashic record to be filed with the library.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">The body then turned to ash, Keenan and Colin waved goodbye and with my mouth hanging open I returned from the journey.  I thanked everyone and cried.  The phone rang shortly telling me Keenan had passed and thank you for taking care of this.  I then flew off to Hawaii to help my dearest friends with the Ordinary reality part of Death.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">This experience was the first of quite a few of these opportunities to bring people to the Mystic Passage who feel they are ready.  The next one was a good friend of mine who was dying of cancer, bed bound and on morphine all the time.  I asked her if there was something I could do  to help and she said she wanted to leave, was ready and didn’t want to stay like this anymore.  She told me she and her husband were ready for the transition.. I told her I would try.  I journeyed to the Grandmothers again, saw my friend Alice there and the Akashic record keepers were there.  I explained to her what I knew  about this procedure and asked if she was truly ready.  She said she had been ready for a long time.  The Akashic record keepers used their lasers on her, retrieved her record and her body turned to ash.  Her Spirit thanked me and walked away.  She passed within the week.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">The next person was someone I didn’t know personally who, was dying of Aids.  He was   a friend of Fran’s who wanted to pass as his body was destroyed by the disease and his partner didn’t know why he was still here suffering.  I said I’d be honored to be part of this experience and would see what I could do.  When I went to the upper world to meet my Grandmothers, John (not his real name) was there looking very confused.  I explained who I was and what was going on.  I said I would bring him to this place of transition if he wished and he said he would be grateful for this and the only thing that kept him in his body was he didn’t see anyone to help him pass over and he was afraid.  With that, a group of his ancestors came to meet him and showered him with loving kindness and promised they would be there for the crossing.  He was safe and loved and well taken care of by the Ancestors.  Johns’ whole demeanor showed relief and he said he was ready. It’s always amazing to me how the Spirits are always there just ahead of the asking.  The Akashic record keepers were there in the ready, never saying a word, they proceeded with their record removal, the body turned to ash, John left with his ancestors and I came out of the journey.  Two days later John’s body ceased to exist with great gratitude from his partner.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">In another case similar to these, one person wanted to help his family and didn’t realize in his condition that it was not possible.  He was unable to move, speak, see or hear.  He was incontinent and on large amounts of morphine for his pain. He had cancer.  When I invited him to come meet me in the upper world so we could talk about what was happening, he welcomed that opportunity and kept expressing that he wanted to help his family.  I showed him what he looked like in ordinary reality and then explained to him that should he decide it was time to leave his body (which was going to happen in a month,the dr’s said) I would try to help him with the aid of the spirits to leave now and he could help his family from the other side.  We had a long conversation and his current and previous wife showed up with his daughter in the upper world quite hysterical about his dying and there was a big family healing.  Then he told me he was ready and willing to go as he wanted to be able to be with his family in a helping way.  the Akashic record keepers took care of him while the family members received some healing work from the grandmothers.  I was told that he would pass in 2 days.  He did.  Everyone was surprised and relieved.  The interesting part of this was he was really unable to speak but was able to make himself heard by the family to say goodbye and tell them not to fight with each other.  He had also been given a beautiful golden guardian angel to help him pass over.  I saw the pictures of his ceremony of the family putting his ashes in the water and everyone saw the ashes rise up from the water in an image of him with a golden shape next to him that they told me they thought was an angel.  It was amazing. the family didn’t know ahead of time about the work we did. I then told his daughter what happened and she thanked me as she knew her father didn’t want to be like he was.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">I’m writing these experiences in the hope that it could help others who wish to leave and can’t find their way.  I believe it’s my job as a practitioner to help end the suffering.  My compassionate spirits are very helpful in this experience, doing healing work on the client, explaining what will happen, what the options are and leaving the choice to the client.  This is the Mystic Passage and we are here to serve. The grandmothers explain everything to me and I’m the intermediary.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica; min-height: 14.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">I don’t take this work lightly and I’m very honored to be part of this experience for people.  I also check on them after the passing, for their families at a later time. It’s all a privilege for me to serve in this way.  The Mystic Passage has opened my eyes in so many ways around my concept of death, the Akashic records and the wonderful Akashic record keepers in Non ordinary reality.  I’m very grateful for having my compassionate spirits/Ancient grandmothers show me a way I can help these people.  I’d like to thank the families of the people who’s story I’ve shared for allowing me the honor of being in their lives in this very intimate way.  Your family members are in safe keeping.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,<br />There is so much good information out there now in these times of illusionary difficulty. I decided to ask my Ancient Grandmothers for some advice for all of us and here is their message:<br />&#8220;The Light will prevail as it&#8217;s the overwhelming desire of most everyone. It&#8217;s in their DNA to exist and be happy. It&#8217;s set deep within.. starting to vibrate when thinking joyous thoughts.. this sets the DNA into action, spreading throughout the consciousness creating endless links to one another&#8217;s heart chakras raising every one&#8217;s vibration ..<br />While it would be helpful for as many people as possible to start activating in this way. It&#8217;s happening.. As one person starts it will set a spark that will light other fires within each other to help the cells remember to turn on and accept this joy that is theirs to share and raise the vibration of the planet.. so start reaching for that place in you that you can visualize as a spark of joy, bliss, happiness.. Any way you can picture or feel it.. Dive in there for as long as you can, opening those synapses to more and more and know that you are making a difference in humanity&#8230; you are helping everyone .Try to do this daily and imagine the changes.<br />Encourage your friends and loved ones to do this as well.<br />Know we are all from the same flame while here. The human flame of existence dressed in beauty, magic and knowledge.. ancient knowledge in our DNA wanting to be unlocked and opened to more  light and love.. Sit in the Bliss, Love and Gratitude and Heal.<br />See your guardian angels placing gems in your chakras  to power you up.. feel what that is like..so empowered by love and light.. sit with it and  then share it<br />See that light and love going out of your chakras into the web of life.. surrounding the planet and back again.. feed this web and nourish yourself from this place as well.. It&#8217;s for you..<br />Be One with the Web of Life.
