COVER SUDI BURNETTBY DYLAN PIERCE-PHOTO

Sudi Burnett


healer, spirtual teacher, intuitive healthand spirtual coach

Sudi Burnett

Growing up privileged like a princess, Sudi lacked for absolutely nothing. That is until when at age 10 her dearly beloved father, who meant everything to her, passed away. Throughout her life, Sudi felt connected to her father’s spirit, eventually leading to being guided into her life’s divine purpose.

Sudi grew up with a lifelong affinity for creat-ing a healthy lifestyle. As a precocious six year

old, she intuitively gathered leaves, plants, and flowers; creating a vegetarian soup. Because of her passion and love for herbs and alterna-tive medicine, she became an expert in nutri-tion, as well as exercise, and alchemized both, uniquely tailoring health programs for her cli-ents’ ideal mind/body/spiritual health.Despite the thriving business, Sudi felt compelled to be of more efficient universal service than her one on one guidance provided.

Sudi’s teachings expanded internationally when, “Sudi’s Show” began airing on TV and continued its run for over 10 years on its in-ternational TV station.She reached thou-sands of viewers and touched them with her daily spiritual teachings. Towards the last years of “Sudi’s Show”, she began to more fully embrace the topics of health and nutrition, as well as the spiritual realm with her viewers.

In the last few years, Sudi has truly recognized her spiritual gifts and fine-tuned her special role as a healer. The pivotal moment for her was when a healer channeled Spirit to deliver a message to Sudi: “You have been chosen to help people open their hearts and go within.

You are a healer!” This Spirit informed Sudi that she has been a healer for “many lifetimes.” This experience opened Sudi to receive mes-sages directly from Spirit. Sudi’s first medita-tion was held live on international television, resulting in a “coming home” level of peace and serenity.This captivating meditation began the first of many seminars around the world in which Sudi would lead a meditation and share her spiritual lessons to inspire countless others to hopefully inspire others, in turn. Sudi sur-renders to Spirit’s guidance in all areas of her teachings. She knows she is completely fulfill-ing her life’s purpose. Many of Sudi’s teachings are available on DVD and CD and is currently creating her new line of DVD’s and CD’s.

Soon, tragedy struck again. This time in the form of a devastating car accident that brought Sudi’s mind fully into the spirit world, losing consciousness and connection to this earth-bound dimensional existence, but receiving ethereal entrance through a portal of light into a whole new world, with an overwhelming sen-sation — blissful beyond description, of being “home,” with her father’s spirit coming to her like a guardian angel, in a cosmic reunion of

father and daughter.Despite begging to stay in the angelic realm, she was told she still had a lifetime of work to complete. While healing from the terrible accident, a new perspec-tive on life overcame Sudi, beginning a new journey deeply within, studying Sufism, Buddhism, and the Kabbalah, which in-spired her career into the direction of life coaching, mentoring and an even more fo-cused holistic approach with nutrition.

Not too long ago, I used to be this unhap-py woman living a life in auto-pilot, trying to convince my heart that all I was and all I had was more than enough, even when deep inside I felt so empty and sad. In those days, my ego mind would take total control of my thoughts from the moment I would open my eyes until I was ready to go back to bed and sleep until the next morning when I would re-peat the same exact dispiriting cycle all over again.

My ego, as the excellent survival mechanism that it is, did everything possible to keep me safe in that reality, simply because that is the ego’s job: to keep us safe no matter how un-happy we are. So, as a good girl who tried to please everyone, society, family and ego in-cluded, I obediently followed my unhappiness for thirty three years. Yes, I followed my ego for THIRTY THREE years, until my heart had to intervene in the most drastic ways, seeing that my possibilities to change were becoming slim-mer every day.

I was so accustomed to believe I was right by thinking in the way I used to that I didn’t see the need to change my beliefs. And even though I felt so unhappy, I guess one of my not so practical beliefs was that heaven would bring me someday the happiness I was looking for without having to change a thing (I know! We humans can have the craziest ideas!)

I was lucky enough to have a brave heart inside of me, which loved me enough to show me how to put my ego aside so I could look at my life, my beliefs, all that I was and all that I had, for the very first time.

It was the first time I realized how stubborn I had been. Until that moment, I had been rever-ing my role as a victim of others and of circum-stances so much… and every time someone would try to help me, I would fill myself with hundreds of excuses and explanations simply because I wanted to continue proving I was

right, that MY story was the valid one. How wrong I was when I tried to defend myself every time life gave me the opportunity to change and realize I wasn’t as right as I believed.

Since that day when I lost the interest of proving to be right and I said yes to change, everything has been and continues to be such an amaz-ing experience. It is as if life has new colors every day. And you know what? That same day I began to change, I also began to feel happy and my happiness has not left my life since then.

So, all of this sounds good, but what does it have to do with you?

I want you to use my words to see if just like me, you are living your life based on the be-liefs that your ego has been selling you to keep you safe. Make an effort to see if you could be able to look at your life from a different point of view, and from there, see all the things you could change.

How?

1. Begin by saying yes to change, by believ-ing that perhaps, only perhaps, you need to change.

2. Make a request to your heart asking it to help you to go beyond your ego mind. Here’s an example: “Please dear Heart, help me to put my ego aside so I can begin seeing the endless possibilities of my life, and so be it.”

3. Believe your beliefs are NOT fixed or con-stant and that you can change them as you wish because, by changing your beliefs it is that you can change your world.

4. Write these three points in a note or post-it. Read and focus on them daily until the next great thing happens in your life!

Until next time, and don’t forget to be love,


Roxana Jones and Arnaud Saint-Paul devote themselves to their life purpose: To open as many hearts as possible and to help shifting the con-sciousness of the planet.

As spiritual healers and teach-ers, life and business part-ners, their intent is to “help millions around the world to embrace change and start liv-ing the type of love, happiness and abundance both of them now know exists for everyone once they are healed.” Togeth-er, they work enthusiastically in bringing to their audience the best of themselves so that everyone can connect to their own Truth and unveil who they truly are: divine beings en-lightening the world in their own unique ways, even when darkness makes it hard to be-lieve it is so.


BENEDICTIONHorses have the capacity to help us heal the human heart. Let us stand in their presence with openness and faith.

These beings left the realm of existence that is the “soul- of-horse” and chose to labor in the service of humans. They are not angels, but are rather our companions on a journey that none of us controls but that, if we trust it, can guide us to places we have always longed to be.

This journey is not generic or abstract; it is intensely personal. It calls us to re-member, to put back together, our whole selves in the wholeness of creation. It requires us to face the parts of us that we split off, denied, and placed in shadow because they were too painful. Horses can help us find these lost parts, and call forth our courage to reclaim them.

Horses are here on the earth because we need them. This has been true for thousands of years, although the ways in which we need them have evolved. They have consented to enter into loving service to us, out of their in-stinctual concern for our wellbeing, and for our mutual purposes of spiritual growth. What other animals have literally carried us on their backs for purposes of war, recreation, farm-ing, hunting, show- manship, and competitive sport? What other beings have accompa-nied us on long and arduous journeys across difficult terrain that would have been impos-sible for us without their help, and more re-cently have provided us with physical therapy and emotional support as well?

How incredible that the Divine reaches us through communication with the non-human world, for deeper consub-stantiality.

COMPANIONS ON OUR JOURNEYThis book expresses in human language what horses have to say when given the chance to speak. It is a story about the bond between horse and human, and the communication made possible when the bond is based on love. It recounts the equine healing work that helped in reclaiming my authentic self, a tes-timony to the power of horses in transforming our losses into a deeper human wholeness. For me, these included miscarriage followed by the loss of a newborn daughter, the men-tal illness of an adult son, the end of a thirty-year mar- riage, and a traumatic childhood sexual encounter. Conversa- tions with fifteen horses, most of who live and work in Costa Rica, are featured along with their photo-graphs, capturing them as individual beings in service to humans on a shared evolution-ary journey.

I am not a “horse person.” I have never owned a horse. I don’t ride regularly, nor am I skilled in handling horses. But I have been touched by the soul-of-horse, and have been hum- bly honored to receive a gift, a “don de Dios” as a Costa Rican horseman called it, which has enabled me to sense and bring to human expression the thoughts of these won-drous creatures. I share the treasure I have received in communicating with these beings so that other people may better understand their inner world, and the ways it can help us understand our own. And for those who ride or own horses, I tell this story as another way for you to learn to trust what you hear when your horse needs to speak.

The horses I have spoken with over the last two and a half years have given me tremen-dous support in my own journey of personal transformation. They entered my reality and helped me change how I see my life.


The emotional dynamics of my early childhood had left me with a heavy sense of responsibility for others—the students I teach, my family, the homeless people I pass on the street. I also felt responsible to be strong and intelligent, healthy, and accomplished, a beacon of suc- cess for my extended family and community.

This ingrained sense of responsibility came with a price: it sat like a lid on top of deeper feelings of sorrow and grief, served to pre-serve the illusion of being in control, and also tamped down the terror of losing that precious control. It took encounters with remarkable horses to make me feel and accept, deep in my core, just how powerless I am over many elements of my life. Without these horses, I might not have gone to that depth, might not have touched that fear or felt that grief, or come to the profound realizations I received. I discovered that life need not feel so burden-some, that pain and uncertainty can be car-ried more lightly, that there are many other beings here to help, if we allow them into our hearts.

Horses have a profound capacity to commu-nicate directly and in detail with humans, al-though of course they don’t use spoken hu-man language. But their pre-linguistic andsometimes visual mode of expression can be understood in human-language terms if one is open to the experience. The horses fea-tured here are highly perceptive, sensitive, and aware. They are offering their hearts to connect deeply with their human compan-ions. And they have a lot to say!

People often ask me, “How and when did you learn to communicate with horses?” The short answer is that it happened a few years ago, while riding a horse in Costa Rica. But when I reach back in memory I find that my ability to sense the thoughts and feelings of horses started many years ago, when I was a child living in Philadelphia.

In the city, life was loud. We lived on a main artery, Wayne Avenue, in the Germantown neighborhood. Wayne was busy day and night with buses, cars, electric trolleys that rattled on old steel rails, racing police vehicles, and ambulances with blaring sirens. Freight and passenger trains rumbled along the Reading Line. Frequent family gatherings added the buzz of gossiping aunts, gathered in our kitchen with my grandmother. The wom-en cooked while uncles sank into upholstered chairs in the living room, beer cans in hand and cigarettes hanging from their lips, yelling at the Phillies or the Eagles on the black and white screen, or arguing over politics or cur-rent affairs.

Outdoors, children played stickball on the tarred streets. Hand-made box carts and roll-er-skates screeched beneath the shouting voices. Girls played double-dutch with blur- ring ropes, rhythmically brushing the cement squares of the sidewalk. The cacophony of laughing, shouting, and cursing in that neigh-borhood swirled around our house, some-times gleeful, more often discordant, while inside, John Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, Wolf-gang Mozart, and Count Basie sus- tained a sweeter music on the high fidelity phono-graph.

When I joined Girl Scout Junior troop # 139 at age 9, I discovered a new, quieter, and even richer side of the city. Led by a married couple with a passion for the outdoors, one Saturday we headed out of our church meeting place for a full day’s hike in Fairmount Park. I thought I’d gone to heaven: I saw majestic trees that didn’t just form the familiar man- made lines along city streets, but instead grew in a new and wilder order in a thick forest. Milky quartz and mica-tinged granite shimmered under flowing creeks. Huge rock outcrop- pings pro-truded from the hills as concrete bridges soared high above. Open fields grew wild flowers. I began to feel the quiet, as the city’s hubbub grew distant.


And there were horses: I smelled them and saw their droppings along the trail. Toward the end of the day, we finally reached the stables. The sound of whinnying emanated from the dimly lit stalls where dark manes and heads appeared as massive shadows. Something stirred in me: Who are these creatures?

I wondered. The fullest answer wouldn’t come for nearly 45 years, though I had my first inkling two summers later with an Arabian horse named Aladdin.

Aladdin was one of the horses at Echo Farm Camp. Located northeast of Philadel-phia in Bucks County, Echo Farm had the classic summer camp elements: “bunks” and “bug juice” and the like. I attended a two-week session the summer I turned eleven.

Camp’s amenities brought great relief to us city kids: a swimming pond, walking trails, playing fields, yoga classes, campfires with “s’mores,” guitars and singing, and arts andcrafts. But my favorite was horseback riding. We were taught how to pass behind a horse to avoid being kicked, how to put on a sad-dle and bridle, and how to secure the black velvet riding helmets to our heads. Mount-ing and dismounting, muck- ing the stalls, and brushing and feeding the horses were part of our daily routine. We did most of our riding in an enclosed ring, English-style, so I was delighted on the days when we’d go out onto the fields and trails. It felt good to find out that under my direction a horse would go this way or that, and would stop, trot, and jump with me on its back.

Aladdin was a gray and white gelding. Riding him, I learned I could surrender to his gait, and enter a state of cen- tered trust I hadn’t known was possible. Reaching my hand through the fence rails to stroke his coarse mane, I was com- forted by Aladdin’s pres-ence, at some deep level I had not sensed before. It was so relaxing for me to touch him, and to see his big round eyes, black and

deep, opening wide at my presence. I felt as if he cared about me. When my hand stroked his cheeks, my lips touched his forehead, or my chest and shoulders pressed against his side, a sense of profound ease came over me. With Aladdin, I feared nothing.

There was plenty for a young girl to be afraid of back then: gangs that might erupt into violence, strange men attempting to fondle, and mean girls who threatened to beat me up for being different. I was afraid to walk those three long blocks down Wayne Ave-nue to Chelten to my Scout meetings, or to my elementary school on Greene Street. I was afraid I might pass the wrong place or person at the wrong time, and find myself in harm’s way. I felt the fearsome presence of gangs like “Haines Street” and “Brick-yard,” who were rumored to roam near our home. I dreaded the empty parks where shadowy figures lurked behind bushes and inebriated men slumped on benches. I knew about the rough hands of grown men, power-less over everything else in their lives, who thrust themselves onto naive young girls like me.

Something sinister had happened to me, violated my body as a very young girl. I buried it farther and farther down in my subconscious but the symptoms continued to surface: recur-ring nightmares, nightly bedwetting, playing alone, making fires in secret, stealing and lying, and the sensation that I was not actu-ally inhabiting my own body. The confusion over what was pleasurable and what was not, what was forbid- den and what was appropriate, and the inability to utter the words, “No, don’t do that,” when my body was being invaded, all were signs that something terrible had been done to me, something my conscious mind had split off and refused to remember. The world was scary, I knew that much. And as I increasingly lost hold of myself I projected that terror onto the world around me.


But I found a safe place with Aladdin, whose great strength and tremendous heart gave me a feeling of being protected.

If only I could keep him and take him back home,” Ithought. “Then everything would be okay.”

Though happy to see my parents when they came for me at the end of summer camp, I begged them to let me stay longer. But it was not to be: they loaded my bags into the car and I said goodbye to my counselors and bunkmates. The last thing I did was to find Aladdin, grazing out in the pasture. He turned toward me as I waved my arms to get his attention. “Aladdin!” I cried. “I’ve come to say goodbye.” We stood together alone for sever-al minutes while I stroked him. Choking back tears, I sensed him tell me:

Don’t worry. I’ll always be with you. I mourned for months. I never forgot Aladdin. I spoke of him so often that next school year that a teacher gifted me with her childhood collection of ceramic horses. I placed them on my windowsill, where the sun made them shine. Reclining on my bed, I would stare at them, my imagination placing me bareback on those objects of beauty as we trotted off to magi- cal, faraway places.

One Saturday that autumn, I walked back to the Fairmount Park stables. I found a wom-an working with the horses and asked her if I could volunteer in exchange for riding privi- leges. She agreed, and I went back the following Saturday but was told there were no available horses to ride. Willing to work, thinking I might build up credit for next time, she handed me a shovel and showed me where to find a barrel. For the next hour

I went from one dark stall to the next, shovel-ing out the manure. Nearly finished, I heard the sound of a hoof pounding the ground from the last stall. I put down the shovel, peer-

ing between the boards: a chestnut Quarter Horse looked back at me. He was bigger than any horse I had ever seen, but something compelled me to unlatch the gate, and before I knew it I was in the stall with him.

“Hello there, big boy,” I said, stroking his side and neck. He told me of his sadness, how unseen and unheard he felt. Because I often felt the same, I sympathized with him. Though I felt powerless to help him, I just stood by his side. I went back the following Saturday, and was again disappointed in be-ing told that it wasn’t a convenient day for me to ride. I stayed and worked, hoping at least to see my new friend. But he wasn’t there—he must have been out on the trail.

On the third Saturday my mother forbade me from going, pointing out insistently that I was being taken advantage of. I knew she was right, and did not return, but I regret that Inever got to tell the beautiful chestnut horse goodbye.

How to Become an Animal Advocate in Five Easy Steps

by Shelley Frost


Becoming an animal advocate is a choice many people make when they see abuse or hear about animals in need. Watching televi-sion shows on Animal Planet, or finding ani-mal news websites, can inspire people to be-come active in fighting for their welfare. And for people who have rescued animals or ad-opted from shelters, making the decision to volunteer to help animals is made easier once they become familiar with their local humane society or SPCA.

Once you have decided you wish to devote time to help animals, here are five easy steps you can take today that will save lives.

1. Change what you eat. It is a fact that 10 billion farmed animals die each year to be-come meat products for the American public. On average, each American eats 31 animals per year. By giving up meat and becoming a vegetarian, you are in essence saving 31 lives each year.

2. Avoid products and drugs tested on ani-mals. More than 25 million animals are used in laboratory testing in the United States each year. Despite this, dozens of drugs tested on animals and approved by the FDA are taken off the market after they show harm to hu-mans. Buy products labeled “not tested on animals” or from companies who refuse to do such testing such as The Body Shop and Kiss My Face.

3. Adopt shelter dogs and cats rather than buying purebreds from breeders. Over 4 mil-lion healthy dogs and cats are killed in shel-ters each year simply because there are not enough homes for them. Yet 25% of dogs in shelters are purebreds. When you adopt a dog or cat from a shelter you are saving their life.

4. Boycott circuses and aquarium shows. Ev-ery US circus company featuring animals has been cited for violating care standards under

the USDA’s Animal Welfare Act law. Whether they are performing or traveling to a new ven-ue, elephants, lions, and other exotics used in circuses endure extreme suffering from abu-sive training techniques and confinement in trailers and railroad cars. Visit circuses such as Cirque du Soleil where the performers en-tertain audiences through amazing feats of human abilities.

5. Refuse to buy products made from fur or skin. In 2006, the annual Canadian seal hunt killed 350,000 baby seals which were used to make seal skin products. In the US, 30 million mink, foxes and chinchilla’s are killed by elec-trocution and other inhumane methods to pro-duce fur coats for humans. Purchase leather and fur-free clothing and footwear from cruelty free websites such as Alternative Outfitters and The Vegan Store.

By making changes such as eliminating meat and animal products from your diet and ward-robe, not attending circuses or aquariums, avoiding products tested on animals and by adopting homeless dogs and cats instead of buying purebreds, you can become an activ-ist for animals without ever visiting a protest demonstration.

Shelley Frost is an author and animal advocate who writes for AnimalBeat.org and articles about dogs for the San Francisco Examiner.com. She is the co-author of YOUR ADOPTED DOG.

Spiritual Growth Checkpoint

Part Two

Understanding Color and using it to our advantageLast month we talked about using color to balance our chakras, and this month we’ll con-tinue our discussion about using color to our advantage with a look at some of the crystals we can use to expand our meditation practice and balance our chakras at the same time. Adding color to any meditation utilizing crys-tals and stones is easy: Simply hold a stone or crystal that’s the color of the chakra you want to balance. You can also visualize the color of each chakra as you’re working with it. Or you can do both. If you’re working with stones and crystals, you can hold one or more stone or crystal in your hand, or you can lay down for your meditation and lay them out on your chakra points.

Here’s quick review of our chakra points, the colors associated with them, and some of the crystals and stones that work well with each chakra:

1st chakra (root/base) = red or black: The Root Chakra, also known as the Base Chakra, is located at the tailbone. Crystals and stones to use with this chakra include…

• Black Tourmaline--Great for protection and grounding on all levels, and is a purifying stone. • Garnet--Enhances instincts, boosts energy levels, supports courage, and helps us adapt to life changes. • Hematite—Protects the aura by balancing energetic systems in the body

while at the same time allowing subconscious thoughts and knowledge to become more understandable on a conscious level. • Obsidian--A grounding stone, Obsidian is excellent for absorbing negative energies on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. • Red Jasper--Great for reducing stress and increasing focus; it also enhances the determination needed for new beginnings. • Ruby--Supports good health, healing, and vitality. It’s a protective stone that is also used to help with new beginnings and attract abundance.

2nd chakra (sacral) = orange: The Sacral chakra is located approximately one hand- width beneath the belly button. Crystals and stones to use with this chakra include…

• Carnelian--Excellent at helping find a connection between emotions and disease; boosts energy levels and confidence. • Copper-- Copper is an energy conductor, and as such it stabilizes the energy field and provides physical and emotional support. • Orange Calcite—A calming crystal that also helps with inspiration for creative endeavors. • Sunstone—This stone brings positive energy while supporting good health and promoting abundance.


3rd chakra (solar plexus) =yellow: The solar plexus chakra is located in the middle of the abdomen. Crystals and stones to use with this chakra include…

• Amber--This mineral has purification properties and helps unblock physical, mental, emotional and spiritual blockages. • Citrine--Citrine provides clarity and focus and is great for helping with inspiration. • Gold—This mineral soothes and restores the Solar Plexus, as well as boosting confi dence and self-esteem. • Tiger’s Eye—Use Tiger eye for courage in overcoming fear and obstacles, as well as for grounding and protection. • Yellow Fluorite—Acts as an energetic cleanser while enhancing mental activities. Flourite also helps thoughts and intentions manifest into reality.

4th chakra (heart) = green or pink: The heart chakra is located in the center of the chest. Crystals and stones to use with this chakra in-clude…

• Aventurine—Reduces stress, promotes relaxation, enhances leadership qualities. Facilitates decisions that need to be made from the heart. • Emerald—Fosters sensitivity, patience, honesty, and personal understanding. • Peridot—Protects our heart chakra while cleansing the heart of negative emotions.

balance the Throat Chakra to enable you to be at your best level of communication ability. • Blue Quartz—Helps bring out your inner truth and wisdom in your communications.

Fosters inner peace and perseverance. • Sapphire—Use this crystal to attain clear and honest communication. Also works to open the Throat, Third Eye, and Crown chakras.

6th chakra (brow or third eye) = purple or indigo: The third eye chakra located on the forehead between the eyes. Crystals and stones to use with this chakra include…

• Iolite—Facilitates the opening of the third eye. Also strengthens our intuition and inner knowing and is often used for astral travel and guided meditations. Useful for any form of visualization. • Lapis Lazuli—A calming stone that harmonizes the connection between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It is a soothing stone that has balancing effect. • Sapphire—This crystal works well for both the throat and the third eye chakras. It strengthens intuition and access to inner wisdom and integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies. • Sodalite--One of the best stones for mental clarity, Sodalite calms the mind so rational thought and objectivity, not stress or panic, guides all thoughts and actions— therefore allowing our communication and perceptions to be clear and reliable.


7th chakra (crown) = violet or clear: The crown chakra is located at the center of the top of our head. Crystals and stones to use with this chakra include…

• Amethyst--Opens the crown chakra and enhances spiritual awareness. • Clear Quartz—Amplifies all other crystals you are working with while cleansing your energy. Allows you to focus and concentrate your thoughts and energies. • Charoite--Use while meditating and sleeping to release old energy patterns while integrating higher vibrational energies into your body. • Selenite—Clears toxic energy from your body, clears away negative energy and allows higher vibrations to enter aura and chakras. • Sugilite—Works well to integrate intuition and spiritual guidance into your daily life. Works to open the Third Eye and Crown Chakra and also facilitates lucid dreaming.

Dear Readers, I did not even scratch the sur-face with regard to what these crystals, stones and elements can do for us. Please research the ones that call to you and learn more about them and how you can work with them to fur-ther your mediation practice and expedite your spiritual growth. My go-to references books for crystals and stones are Katrina Raphaell’s Crystal Trilogy, and you can find out more about Katrina, her crystal classes, and her wonderful books at this website:

Affirmationsby Jeremy McDonald

When someone first brought up the idea of affirmations, I thought they were kidding me. I thought it was crazy. I tried to understand how saying these daily affirmations would help me change my life. One day my mother used the affirmation, “I am whole, healthy, and per-fect.” I realized how powerful the words were. When I saw her using this affirmation, I started to use it myself. At one point, I said it repeat-edly in my mind and flooded my thoughts with this affirmation. A shift in my body happened.

I was so drunk on energy from the positive feelings I gained towards myself. It was in-credibly blissful but at one point, I actually got a headache. How could I get a headache when I was doing something so positive? The self-judgment, self-doubt, self-criticisms, and general negative feelings I had in my mind and body, were replaced with thoughts of love and positive statements. It was foreign inside of me. This type of change within us comes with growing pains of the spirit. What I did was reprogram my mind, body, and spirit.

Remember at the beginning, I talked about how we stored our thoughts and feelings all over our body. All of these memories and thoughts create our programming and we can change our programming at any time through a process of letting go of fear and transmuting it into love. One of those steps is affirmations. I have found affirmations effective at moments when I could not think of a positive thought for the day. Times when I could not find grat-itude in my heart and all I could think about was what was bad with the world, I thought of an affirmation. I just started reciting to my-self, with my inside voice and not my vocal chords, how perfect I was, and how perfect the

world was. What I found was the time I spent doing my affirmations allowed me to switch my mindset so I could take the time to process the FEAR going on inside me. Our FEAR that dwells within in us is the programming, which causes the dis- eases within our body. The affirmations provide us an avenue to help as-sist in reprogramming our bodies. Ultimately, it is still very important to dive deep down inside ourselves. It allows us to look at all of the false programs that keep us from having happy and joyful lives.

The idea behind affirmations is to allow your-self to find the affirmations you need. They can surface in your thoughts, as your body needs them. Your soul and body will tell you what you will need, and this will come through your inner voice. It can also come in the form of a book given to you, or any text that inspired you to create an affirmation. When I heard my moth-er use the affirmations, it was exactly what I needed at that time. I have used many other affirmations since then to help me in my jour-ney. I am going to list a few here to help you with your journey.

1. I am whole, healthy, and perfect. 2. I am abundant in all things, and all things come to me in divine timing and divine order. 3. I have everything I need in the time I need it. I am lacking nothing. 4. I am perfect love and I have a perfect relationship with myself and others. 5. I am divine royalty and all things flow to me easily and freely. 6. I am pure love and all things around me manifest in perfect love.

It’s the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, things begin to happen.

Claude M. Bristol



These are just a few, but I found them mas-sively helpful. I can honestly say this helped me develop a deeper relationship with myself. It also allowed me to change how I felt about myself.

It is powerful to do these affirmations gazing at yourself in the mirror looking into your own eyes. By doing this, you are directly speaking with your soul and facing yourself, giving your-self the attention you have always desired. Developing a relationship with oneself is a part of the process of finding inner peace. When we can have that solid relationship with our-selves, we are developing what our inner spirit truly wants. This is the path of the soul.

Another thing I did was stand in front of the mirror and spend time looking at the physical things I did not like about myself. I took time to point out the things I love about myself. I found something to be grateful about even in the parts of myself I did not want to love. This was powerful for me. I had been doing this for a very long time and one day I watched a video of myself speaking and I realized how beauti-ful I was. It made me smile. For many years, I found myself unattractive, and I did not think I was even a good speaker or teacher. What that moment did for me was help me realize I was happy about what I was saying, and I was happy about the person on that camera. This was a huge shift for me. I realized all the inner work I had done inside myself paid off. I found an inner peace. All the things I taught to this point had become second nature for me. It was an epiphany how happy I was. I looked at everyone around me and realized I had loving people around me. It was a very good place to be.

FENG SHUI – FOUNDATIONSThe Gathering of the Tribe

www.languageofspace.com


All too often we read about the many ways Feng Shui will enhance our lifestyle, especially those popular and well-known cures regarding the money corner and the relationship corner.

Fortunately it is now hopefully a well-known truth that “energy is and will always be in con-stant motion”. If this be true, then it stands to reason a question may arise in those minds with a curious nature. Do nature’s energies associated with these South East/South West locations still reside there now that thousands of years have passed since their discovery?Or have they packed their bags and gone on vacation to a new far off location just to rattle the intelligent egotistical minds of man!!!

Obvious becomes obvious when inclined to take the time to look out the same window from one day to the next and oh the surprises, the physical vision never repeats.

The common sense approach, when we fol-

low the Universe Laws and Feng Shui we reap great benefits, activate the north. The dogma of following Feng Shui as a static definition will only lead to a result of stagnation, disappoint-ment and mistaken prejudice.

THE POWER OF FENG SHUIWhen a science is understood, the realizations finally arrive home, Feng Shui has always been part of everyday life. It’s not just all about en-vironments which receive rewards, it is, us…you and me, the people who get to receive the benefits. Feng Shui is an alignment of a living consciousness in all its physical manifesta-tions and forms being in compatible relation-ships with all humans, enhancing/advancing our personal path in a direction of constant evolution. Yes Yes Yes!!!

INTEGRITY what a word, a word so loosely used nowadays driven by the need to support businesses and individuals hiding an unseen behavior.

www.languageofspace.com


Integrity is an unexplored yet universal con-cept, that defines a truth about ourselves, a code of moral values and personal ethics, sort to speak, goody gum drops.

One supposedly acts with congruence from an open agenda, rather than a number of hid-den ones, and functions from not being de-ceitful by omission. Fortunately integrity re-quires us to come from the best in ourselves rather than from our…OUR FEARS.

Integrity requires us to know what feels right from within the very core of our being, and to act from that part of us as true WISDOM. It is the lack of integrity that causes us as humans to constantly repeat ineffective patterns with ourselves, in relationships, in business and with ourselves. This leads to lies, betrayals, disappointments and the ability to never al-low TRUST to be born within ourselves or with any other human/situation.

Lack of integrity is not necessarily a character flaw, it is merely a lack of awareness. Today the world at large knows the need for open-ness and transparency. The world has been enslaved by never being informed of the big-ger picture, always kept busy with mundane actions. Each level only knows what the level above allows them to know, and up the lad-der it goes. This old way of doing things says goodbye.

The shift is to allow all that has stood in the way to be cleansed so a new supporting in-tegrity for the benefit of all, for the benefit of all beings, can truly come to fruition. How to answer the question of evolution? What will it take for us to align ourselves with a promise that will characterize a way of being for each individual and for the whole to be as one?

First and foremost is the idea to honor the in-dependent nature of who we are. A personal respect for the differences created due to our

various cultural upbringing, location, interac-tion and educational experiences.

It may seem strange that in a progressive evolution we live in a so called information Age where others may crush the circulation of ideas of exceptional merit, that ideas are blocked from a wider understanding. Don’t let the powerful strengths inherent in each indi-vidual be barred from expression or buried alive under the barrage of any criticism.

Many of the creative talents within us, un-fortunately have never seen the light of day, never even been considered worthy choos-ing instead to become an army of followers living in fear from the hierarchy above.

A great person once said to me, we are the TAI CHI, the center of our own individual uni-verse, the leaders of our own destiny. Without that deeply embedded in our core being, and while living the life of a follower, how is it ever possible to develop into all that we can be. Better yet how can individuality ever evolve into a single cohesive group capable of ac-complishing exactly what we are destined to do for ourselves and the world at large?

It is always a question, not about what you can do, IT IS ABOUT WHO ARE YOU! It makes no difference whether your hair is blue, green or not there at all. Allow yourself/each individual to be, allow their talents to come forward, support them in the same way you would like to be supported.

Stop saying stand up and be counted while stabbing them in the back. Stop saving your yourself by shedding a few tears to win over the crowd. Stop offering support to one and all while holding out an empty hand. There is no long term support for the person who thinks in these changing times of energy par-adigms, they can pull the wool over every-one.


What do you do when injured, you go to who-ever serves you best, so you can be healed, for without this healing you will be repairing/rebuilding on shaky ground, past patterns, not so good.

Build a strong foundation, for without that foun-dation all your efforts and labors, good inten-tions and hard work will all be in vain. For it is written that sometime in the future no matter how strong now, it will surely end in ruins and that my friends will be a shame.

Want to build a foundation, look deeply into your heart, discover are you for-real, otherwise bugger off and give someone else the chance to be all they can be.

Advisers are not leaders, you are the leaders each and every one, in their own right and until you marry that energy to your character/iden-tity you will follow your way to another’s home never knowing the jewel you were truly born to be.

If we wish to halt the past, we need merely step away from the past isolation/situations. There is a whole UNIVERSE waiting for you…with you in its sights ready to welcome you home.

The stepped pyramid in Palenque

Pyramids in Hampi, India

The Ancient Indio Civilization

From the Giza Legacy

The rounded and stepped pyramid in Uxmal

by Rico Paganini


Found on the Mexican Yucatán Peninsula are old cult sites and temples that date back to the Mayans and other early civiliza- tions. The geographic situation makes it likely that ships sailing southwest from Atlantis reached the peninsula extending far into the Gulf of Mexico. According to Aztec mythology, a mes-senger of god, Quetzalcoatl (named Kukulkan by the Mayans), came to Yucatán from the Far East. To him is attributed the knowledge of writing and the calendar. Ac- cording to the tale, after teaching the local population, he departed to the West in the direction of Mexico.

The question of how the Mayans developed a calendar with such proven precision and a chronology to go with it is yet another highly interesting piece of the Atlantis puzzle. Muck tended to believe that Quetzalcoatl brought this knowledge from Atlantis:

“How else can it be explained that a people who certainly did not possess the means to precise-ly measure the smallest units of time and small-est angles could have possessed such a pre-cise calendar? Because only this can explain how such an accurate knowledge of astronomy could have been gained in a relatively short time—within less than a few hundred years.” (Muck 1978, 78) [Author’s translation. Original German quote can be found at the back of this volume.]

With his comparative studies of the building construction of the west and east of Atlantis, Robert Stacy-Judd provided a vital foundation for the work on this. Central to his work was the colonization of South America by the At-lanteans. While studying in Mexico, he found numerous indications that pointed toward Atlantis as the origin of the high cultures that later arose in South America. Stacy-Judd pointed out the style of stepped pyra-mids found in the plain of the Euphrates in Egypt also existed among the Mayan cultures in South America and in the Mexican lowlands.

The stepped pyramid in Tikal

Pyramid in Mexico–Chichén Itzá

The stepped pyramid of Saqqara in Egypt


He also discovered that the Mayan expression “babil,” which means burial mound or mountain, forms the root of the word Babylon, and that sa-cred Babylonian structures have similarities to construction methods in South America (Stacy-Judd 1939). Stacy-Judd was able to trace many temple complexes, both west and east of the Atlantic and in South America, to similar basic structures. In his opinion, the build-ers of the Babylonian ziggurat, the Egyptian pyra-mids and the Mexican temples must have based their structures on the same plans. His conclu-sion was: “In Mexico, the Sacred Mountain was in many cases a natural pyramid. It was like-wise the dwelling place of the Goddess of Fertil-ity, as well as her altar. The earliest Pyramids in Mexico were mere masses of earth or adobe, just as were the earliest recorded in Egypt. It is within reason, therefore, to assume that they were imitations of the Sacred Hill of Poseidon in Atlantis. At a later period the pyramids were faced with stone, a procedure also followed in Egypt.” (Stacy-Judd 1939, 182)

Because the structural similarities can hardly be attributed to coincidence or simultaneous architectural inspiration, it seems even more likely that they all stem from a common root.

“Perhaps Mt. Atlas is the actual prototype of the pyramids and all the diverse cultural struc-tures in the lands to the west and east of the Atlantic— everywhere where directly or through reflection a ray of light from Atlantis fell.” (Stacy-Judd 1939, 177)

Rico Paganini was born in 1962 in Switzerland. From 1982 to 1987, he worked for MVG Group, a youth and entertainment media company. He then moved to BKV Group, which is an educational media com-pany.

He started an independent media consulting agency in 1990. He is an independent bookseller, and in 2010 he began building his own publishing company.

Since his youth he has been preoccupied with human history, religions, spiritual science, health, geometry, the transmission of vibrations and the megalithic power places on earth. Rico and his ever-changing team have undertaken eleven trips to Egypt since 1998. Although the primary focus was upon Giza there have been further excursions to France, England, Malta, Azores, USA, Hawaii, Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Easter Island, Fiji, Tahiti, China and Tibet.

Message from the Goddess Mother

THE FLOW OF LIFE

My Beloved Children,

“Greetings of joy, for it is within joy that I pres-ent this message of heart to you today.

As you move through the steps of your life, there is a gentle rhythm that underlies the foundation of the sweet world upon which you live. You have been aware of this gentle rhythm throughout your life on many levels and yet now you can be in greater awareness of the sweetness of this flowing lightness.

In these times of great change there are po-tentials for great awareness and for conscious connection to the flow of life. To feel the con-nection to the flowing lightness is like tasting sweet nectar which you desire to drink and

enjoy to the fullness. This sweetness brings with it the flavor of home and a desire to fully remember the fullness of your sacred self.

Much is being brought to you to assist you in your personal lives at this time. There are op-portunities for elevation and greater aware-ness. Harmony is very easily attained in these new energies as you embrace the delicious-ness of their lightness and release attach-ments to the old stories of less ness.

Today I will share with you an important mes-sage which will assist you to be ever present in your awareness of what is and can unfold into your reality. To more fully feel that sweet connection to the flowing lightness that is ever present.


Within the beautiful new energies now present on Earth is a glorious opportunity to share and experience your life journey in a whole new way never before possible for humanity as a collective.

You now exist on a higher dimensional plane than your forbearers. It has been a collective effort, a choice of heart which has made this reality possible.

What this means to you is much more is avail-able to support you in making choices to live your life in a greater awareness of the wonder of what you can create for yourself to experi-ence.

This higher dimensional plane offers opportu-nities to enjoy new principles of lightness that were not possible before. It is a new playing field, which opens up possibilities to explore and experience your life in ways perhaps you have never dreamed possible before.

Take a moment to take in this thought and no-tice how your heart responds in joy.Yes, your heart knows that the time of feel-ing disconnected is a story of the past. Your heart is in full awareness of the flow of life, that beautiful golden river of lightness that gently flows in a perpetual dance of love.

You have been guided throughout your life by your knowing self within your heart conscious-ness. There is a sacred connection from this knowing part of self to the part of you that is consciously making the choices in your life ex-perience.

There is great celebration by your higher self as these times of change have brought these new energies for you to be able to experience your life in a greater lightness. Your heart knows that you can hear the guidance, the sweet message it whispers to you now, so much easier than ever before.

As you notice those whispers and become aware of their sweetness, it will assist you to feel your connection to your wisdom self. Wisdom messages from your heart will lead you to discover the ways and means to find the answers to all that you desire to know and explore.

Let me share with you a simple way to feel that connection.Place your hand on your heart and take a slow deep breath, in and out, focusing on breathing into your heart.Now, relax and let your mind focus on the breath, breathing into your heart.As you do this for a few moments, you will feel your reasoning mind quiet and begin to sense a quiet presence. That quiet presence will now whisper to you a message. You will feel or sense this message; perhaps you may even hear words. The main thing to focus on is the sweet peace which feels like a tender hug, all embracing.

You may choose to practice this daily or when-ever you desire, for as you do, your awareness to your connection will magnify and expand, elevating you into a greater understanding of your truth and divine nature. This will assist you to feel that flowing lightness, that river of golden love which you are always a part of.

There is much to discover and explore, for within you lays a greater treasure chest, wait-ing for the time when you will reach each and every jewel within its content. You will discover within this treasury, many innate gifts and abili-ties which when recognized and developed with lead you into the fulfillment of all the many dreams of your heart.

There is much joy and wonder for you to ex-perience as you take the steps in developing this loving connection to your heart. The flow of limitless wisdom will guide you onto path-ways of such joy. Your life will be filled with great wonder and excitement.

Practice this connection to your heart and begin to feel this golden bridge of light as a constant awareness of the sweet loving whispers of wisdom. Master this gift my be-loveds, and you will live the life of your dreams in such wonder.

It is time for you to live your life in an abun-dance of joy, free of the perceptions of less ness from the old stories. It is your time to play and dance in the flow of life, within the golden wisdom of the heart. It is time for you to re-member and know your true nature.

Know that I love and adore you; you are my children of heart. Know that you are always supported throughout your journey of discov-ery. The pathway has been illuminated for you. Follow your heart and live your destiny in joy. Chanulanaha. With great love, Your Beloved Mother

The Key of hathor that gives us a comprehension of our conscious connection to the sacred elements is a vital understanding. The sacred elements earth, water, fire, air, and ether are the building blocks of your manifest universe, of your world and of your bodies. The many different streams of ancient spiritual practice have revered these sacred elements.

Balancing the ElementsChanting the sacred names of the elements helps you to balance them within your own being and within nature. You can refer to an-cient Sanskrit, Egyptian, Chinese, or Native American versions they are all powerful and effective. Initiates of Vedantic wisdom through the ages effectively worshipped and conduct-ed ceremonies in praise and gratitude to the Divinity of these sacred elements. Today, partly due to the discovery of electricity, you have lost your connection to the firmament, to the sun and moon and to the power of fire.

FireFire connects to your spirit, your creative po-tential, your passion. If your fire energy is out of balance you might find yourself exploding and detonating at the drop of a hat or on the other hand you might find yourself apathetic

towards passion and co-creation. As the an-cients knew so well, when you sit individually or in groups by the fire, the Goddess of Fire acts as a giant vacuum cleaner—clearing and realigning all your energy vortices (chakras). In the ancient Hindu practice of Yagna or Havan, the mouth of the Goddess (which is the Fire) is offered ghee (rarefied butter), fruits, nuts, and flowers as a grand offering of praise and love. Sacred mantrams are chanted during this process. As a result of this energy vortex the atmosphere for miles around is cleared and the vibrations raised. Try it; as they have done to regenerate Brazilian forests it works equally effectively on humans, animals, and plants.In the Egyptian temples a fire was kept burning twenty-four hours a day. In modern time the Zoroastrians of Persia keep the fire burning day and night in their temples.

by Rashmi Khilnani


WaterThe sacred element of water corresponds to your human emotional body. As you know, you are 70 percent water. So use water con-sciously to purify your energy fields through conscious bathing, showering, and commun-ing with the sacred element of the Goddess of Water, i.e., while swimming and floating in your rivers, streams, and the ocean. Many of you, I have noted with amusement, meditate for hours, or chant for days, but think that bath-ing every day is optional. Bath- ing is more powerful than showering to purify and clean not only your physical body but also your aura and all the chakras. There is something about full-body immersion that shifts your consciousness to a state of deep peace and bliss. P. S.: Becoming a prune in the bath is optional!

The waning and waxing of the moon govern the ebbing and flowing of the tides. The wax-ing and waning of the moon also affect the water in your body and your emotions. So be-ing aware and conscious of how powerfully the elements affect us in our lives on a daily basis is a powerful step in life mastery. By connect-ing consciously with the ocean, you not only energize your energy fields with negative ions and prana energy, you reconnect to the pri-mordial essence of your being.I note that you feel that you are drinking plenty of fresh clean water, but many of you are dehydrated. You can reprogram the water simply through your intention, or, for example, through the use of sacred geometry as do your Reiki practitioners all over the world.

Air–BreathOne of the techniques in rebirthing is to use a snorkel in the bathtub to breathe underwa-ter for a prolonged period, done with supervi-sion of an experienced rebirthing practitioner. This connects you to the safety and warmth of the womb and also connects you more con-sciously to sensations, emotions, and thoughts that are ready to come up and be experienced and released. You may also go into bliss states that may occur from the powerful use of two

sacred elements at the same time, i.e., water (through immersion) and air (through power-ful conscious connected snorkel breathing). Your deepest connection to life is through your breath, for, as you know, if you stop breathing long enough your physical body will die (transform into something else).

The Vedic wisdom talks extensively about the power and importance of your breath. One of the very effective yogic practices is that of alternate nostril breathing. This is a simple technique that any yoga teacher could teachyou. It helps to clear the nadis (vial energy channels in the body originating at the nostrils). Modalities like Advanced Sound Wave Energy Therapy apply inaudible sound at the nostrils to help heal brain chemicals (neuropeptides and neurotransmitters). Scientists and psy-chologists understand the importance of these neurotransmitters and neuropeptides on your nervous system and your emotional bodies. As we have said before, when you breathe in air you are breathing in oxygen but also prana/chi/reiki (life-force energy). Your breath has the power to heal all four bodies (physical, emo-tional, mental, and spiritual) in the most effec-tive way to give you infinite energy and to take you instantaneously out of lethargic and apa-thetic states of being. Athletes and dancers un-derstand this well.

In this magnificent time, the winds of change, and more change, are sweeping your globe. So you can choose whether you want to sail with the wind or against it. For example, sit-ting in a beautiful still boat watching the dol-phins jump around you in the ocean as the sea breeze, as the Divine breath of the Goddess, clears the cobwebs of negative thinking, stuck emotions, and past trauma.

Even little thunderstorms have a very powerful healing effect on the atmosphere. They clear morphogenic stress, fear, and negativity in an instantaneous flash of thunder and lightning. The wind and rain (the sacred elements of air and water) cleanse and purify the atmospher


for miles around the epicenter of the storm.

Let it be noted here, that if humanity (collec-tively and individually) does not responsibly clear its anger and other stuck emotions, this energy builds up morphogenically as a disease on an individual level and has to be cleaned out by nature. Nature’s way of clearing may be a compos- ite of the sacred elements through tsunamis, hurricanes, tornados, and the like. This is how nature (which is synonymous with the sacred elements) purifies the Earth and restores balance. So it is prudent to choose tiny safe outbursts of your stormy energy/emo-tions as opposed to a huge build up of pent-up feelings. Both for individuals and countries, expressing emotions like anger in safe, small ways can prevent massive earthquakes and the like.

Speaking as the goddess Hathor, I would like you to understand what your great channel Seth explained beautifully in his book, The Nature of the Individual and the Theory of Mass Events. Through Jane Roberts, his channel, this entity of light explains that often a whole group of souls agree, as part of their soul contract, to depart a particular incarna-tion in a way that serves all of mankind. This business of thinking that just because floods are occurring in Bangladesh, they are not af-fecting you in England, is faulty compre- hen-sion. As I have said before, everything affects everything everywhere and all of life is connect-ed as a golden web of consciousness. There is a bigger picture. To judge the story line of a particular soul’s journey through the observa-tion of their tale in just one incarnation is a folly. As mentioned previously, the soul chooses a multitude of lifetimes to experience a multi-tude of realities including challenging and so called “undesirable” realities.

The ancients understood the power of the wind well. If you lis- ten meditatively to the breeze, it will teach you many secrets. This requires you to slow down. That, you say, is not pos-sible. I will give you a little secret herein these

times of speeding up, the only way not to be giddy and feel like you are falling off the roller coaster of accelerated change is through set-ting aside time to SLOW DOWN.

So how does the sacred element of air (your breath) help you to feel more openhearted? Every time you feel the stirring of love thelotus of your heart begins to open. Then up pops fear, the opposite, and you slam the brakes: closing the heart. The “brakes” in this case, are represented by the muscular con-traction that creates the holding of your breath. To reopen the heart you need to consciously start to breathe regularly again.

EarthThe Sacred Element of Earth makes up the physical temple of your body, of your beautiful planet earth, and third-dimension reality. Gaia is a jewel in this universe; unique and beautiful. The pictures your astronauts have taken from outer space show you the truth of the matter. Earth is matter. Many of you are happy to be spiritual beings floating about but have a prob-lem with being present and grounded in your physical body temple here now.

GroundingI would like to talk to you about grounding and protection. True spiritual mastery in this time is about bringing heaven to Earth, of bringing down the cosmic energies into your unique physicality and grounding it. Being a space cadet New Age-type does not serve you. You cannot really consciously manifest, or become a true co-creator in physical reality without being grounded.Sound is a powerful way to help ground. Your mighty trees teach you about sending the roots of energy deep into the cen-ter of Mother Earth, and your branches from your Crown Chakra to connect with the whole of the Cosmos. The higher you wish to go to-wards heaven, the deeper your roots need to go into the Earth to create balance and stability. In the powerful system of Egyptian Reiki called Sekhem, practitioners or initiates connect the fifth-dimensional energy through


the Crown Chakra to the heart, and down from the Root Chakra to the center of Mother Earth. The energy is then brought up from the center of the Earth through the Root Chakra of the initiate, into the heart. For healing self or oth-ers, the energy is redirected out of the hands or Third Eye or heart. All this is done through the power of intention. (Energy flows where in-tention goes.) The Sekhem energy is therefore a very grounded energy.

Many of your other healing modalities teach you about grounding and protection. The mo-dality of body harmony and the myriad forms of massage practiced around the globe are all wonderful ways to connect to the sacred temple of your physicality and to become grounded. Grounding means the conscious connection of your body to the Earth beneath, and building a loving relationship with the Sacred Element of Earth.

When you ground yourself as healers and spiritual initiates on your journey to higher consciousness, it is very important to become aware of energy: both your energy and the en-ergy of others. It is important to bring in the practice of grounding particularly when you are feeling chaotic, neurotic, and, in some cas-es, even psychotic. This practice greatly helps to stabilize your mind and fluctuating emotions. To be grounded without protection is slightly missing the boat.

I hear very often that you are confused about protection. Let’s clarify this matter a little bit. When you are in the state of Absolute Real-ity, where you have a conscious experiential awareness of yourself as “All That Is Here Now,” there is no subject/object and therefore the question of protection does not come into the equa- tion. However, in the relative reality states that most of you find yourself in (most of the time, as you move towards lighter states of Being, protection may be revelation. In the Egyptian Mystery schools of Hathor and other Egyptian esoteric systems, we use the invoca-tion of Anubis for protection.

Anubis is the Keeper and Guardian of the Ga-lactic Night and is the guardian of the journey from the dark to the light. Other ideas for pro-tection:

• You can invoke the power and protection of Archangel Michael, the patron Archangel of Protection. • You can use small bunches of sage around your neck or smudge yourself and the room, again with dried sage.

GratitudeAn attitude of gratitude brings miracles into your life; it is so simple. Gratitude to the sacred element of Earth, i.e, for delicious food to eat, for the beauty of nature, for these magnificent bodies, and our flora and fauna; all are part of the reverence and purification of the sacred Gratitude.

The polar caps are melting and many of your animals are becoming extinct. Pollution caused through uncon- scious living, feeling, and thinking, stress the need to revert back to balanced ecological practices.

The purification of the Sacred Elements within and without helps greatly in restoring balance and reversing or transmuting the negative effects of global dimming and warming.

There is a lot of debate about what is good to eat as a spiritual aspirant and what is not. To have a generalization for all of humanity on the subject of food is unwise.


There is a lot of debate about what is good to eat as a spiritual aspirant and what is not. To have a generalization for all of humanity on the subject of food is unwise. Each per-son is individual and may have unique nutri-tional needs to rebalance their health. I ad-vise you to eat consciously, to bless your food, to bring in prayer and gratitude, and to share. Ultimately the body can transmute even arse-nic, as has been demonstrated by some yogis. (If you think you can, you can!) Your beliefs around food affect the way nutrition influences your health. Overall, eating lightly and avoid-ing processed food is recommended. Food organically grown with love and cooked with love is more important than the huge debates on what is good and bad for us Vegetables, fruit, salad, whole grains such as rye and oats, and nuts and seeds, greatly enhance your life-force energy and are easy to digest, when eaten raw or cooked lightly. The digestion of meat is not an easy process for your bodies. Meat is a highly concentrated, dense food. It also requires a large amount of resources to produce meat as opposed to vegetarian food. So there is a strain on your bodies and on Gaia. Those who cannot imagine being vegetarian, can always cut back on meat consumption to only a minimum. It is quiet appalling the way the animals are treated and killed. The vibra-tions of this trauma are partly consumed by you when you eat processed, factory-produced meat. Balance is once again the key. Being intuitive and listening to your body when you go shopping or preparing your food keeps you in alignment with what your body really requires to keep a nutritional balance. On the subject of sugar, if you consume too much sugar it makes you more mentally oriented. Small amounts of unprocessed sugar are fine.

Purification and the Earth ElementFasting is a powerful way to purify the earth element in your make-up or constitution. Using intuition and wisdom on the length and type of fast you choose is important. If doing a juice fast, it is better to stick with vegetable juices as opposed to just having fruit juice. This is be-

cause vegetables alkalize the body. Sugar and meat cause acidic states. When disease oc-curs in the body there is a high level of acidity connected to it.

EtherThe primordial sound “OM” is an express route to connecting to the sacred Element of Ether. Ether has the highest vibration of all the Sacred Elements. It is subtle and beyond definition. It is beyond the normal comprehension of the mind. You come to this connection with Ether (or the subtle life-force energy that permeates all living matter), through the energy of devo-tion, meditation, initiation, and love. The com-prehension of ether is beautifully described in the sacred texts, the Vedas. You come to an understanding of it through a negation of what it isn’t. This is called Neti Neti in your sacred Buddhist texts. Neti Neti means “neither this nor that.” So Ether cannot be directly perceived through the five senses. You cannot touch it, smell it, see it, or taste it.

When you are in a state of grace and are be-ing bestowed with the Siddhis, then many have the experience of the taste of holy nectar drip-ping into the back of the throat during medi-tative or trance states. A true comprehension of Ether comes during high vibratory states of being in Sacred Space and Unity Conscious- ness or during Sacred Ritual such as Yagnas or through the grace of enlightened beings and mystics. This sort of experience takes you out of the third-dimension reality into the fifth-dimension and beyond. As the magnificent pearl of wisdom of a book the Bhaga- vad-Gita states: “You are not the field, (the field being the mind, body, and the intellect): You are the Knower of the field, (being the knower of the mind, body, and intellect).”

In Sanskrit “the Knower” or the detached wit-ness is called the “Sakshi.” The strengthening of the detached witnessing aspect of your con-sciousness is a key to feeling safe to open your heart.


Ultimately, the Sacred Element of Ether is understood through your “knowingness” and takes you into expanded consciousness and the experience of the Unity of all living and nonliving matter. Ether is not about definition, because whatever you define, you limit; it is experiential and beyond limitation.

During initiations to the higher levels of Sekhem and Hathor Mystery Schools, initiates connect strongly to this Sacred Ether through Sacred Geometry, such as the portal symbols using Pyra- mid, Ankh, Lotus, and Infinity.

P. S.: In the Mystery School of Hathor, Ether continues to be an ongoing mystery. (joke)

The Sacred Elements are actual expanded en-tities of light and love that have given of them-selves for the creation of your third- dimension reality. So praise and gratitude and conscious connection to them leads to conscious living and loving. As you love them as the building blocks of your reality, you go to the source of what you are made of and learn to love your-selves and your world, with the eyes of won-derment as a child of the universe.

48 THEDENMAGAZINE.COM ♥ June 2015


Like many spiritual seekers, I yearned to know the truth about myself as an immortal being; to experience what it was like to have the mind’s compulsive thinking actually stop. Only an enlightened person could experience such chronic bliss, blessed with a predictably graceful ability to embrace whatever showed up as the present moment. Such masters re-sist nothing. They are gentle, peaceful beings.

To know ultimate freedom from reacting emo-tionally to the ups and downs of life with its inherent periodic mental suffering, to attain self-realization in the same way that other spir-

itual masters have, is the ultimate attainment for any serious seeker of spiritual truth. Such an experience of self-realization occurs as a gradual process or in a burst of awakening for the student who is ripe, spiritually speaking. At-tainment of self-realization is the prize to which every spiritual sage has aspired since the be-ginning of time.

Like many seekers, I assumed that realizing this permanent state of well-being, in which stillness of mind prevails, was an achievement possible somewhere in a distant future.

Everyday Problems and the Difficult

PersonBy LISETTE LARKINS

Meanwhile, like every other person I knew, my noisy mind rattled compulsively. There were many moments of peace daily, but such inner peace was not unshakeable.

Then, in 2005, an inner prompting urged me to leave my position in Virginia as sales director for Hampton Roads Publishing Com-pany; to leave a long-term romantic relation-ship; to leave behind my identity as an author of three books about the deeply spiritual nature of extraterrestrial contact phenomena, which included a role as speaker and radio guest.Moving from the East coast, back to the home of my childhood in Southern California, I had no idea why an inner force was calling me or what my next step would be.

Returning to Malibu, I lived with my divorced mother. My father soon joined us, in need of care for his terminal cancer. My grown siblings were there too, one who recently had had a baby. Nephews and nieces came to stay or visited often. As a woman in her late forties, I found this curious indeed: to find myself again living with my family of origin. At one point my grown son even moved to the Malibu property.With ages ranging from ninety-one to newborn, the environment was ripe for spiritual practice because there were so many differing cher-ished viewpoints floating about. Any individual who was able to peacefully coexist within such a loaded and diverse environment and remain unshakably and demonstrably accepting and content would be remarkable.

It was not that there were lots of arguments, but rather, as a long-term student of the practice of stilling the noisy mind, I noticed that mine still had lots of secret thoughts of judgment or cor-rection. Although I was aware that this was the normal state of most everyone’s mind—chron-ic comparing, contrasting, and judgment and its attendant self-righteous feeling of being of-fended—I wanted a more heightened spiritual perspective for myself.

Due to the nature of my lifelong extraterrestrial encounter experiences, which are the subjects

of my books, I was already somewhat of a so-called spiritual teacher in the realm of opening to a spiritual life. Because of these experiences, a spiritual opening had already happened for me, and I tended to look deeply at life’s mean-ing, shunning trivialities and meaninglessness more than the average person. Perhaps I was already able to observe my own deficits with courage.

This introspective nature developed naturally as a result of living outside of the norm of hu-man existence with respect to ET-contact phe-nomena. When you are having extraordinarily unusual experiences that the culture says are impossible, it’s pre- dictable that such a cata-lyst will trend the experiencer toward either of two directions: embrace more fully your own spiritual growth by actually practicing what you’re learning, or succumb to mental suffer-ing and develop psychological problems.

Contactees from all corners of the globe write me for guidance, having been shaken them-selves by bizarre paranormal phenomena. They want to share their own experience of sudden spiritual awakening that occurs as a result of often transcendent, deeply spiritual experiences.

But now back home amidst relatives, the words of spiritual teacher Ram Dass rang true: “If you think you’re so enlightened, go spend a week with your parents.” Clearly, my spiritual practice needed tweaking. It felt suddenly hyp-ocritical to advise anyone of anything. And I had no idea how I was going to earn a living.

As I considered my new living arrangement, I decided to approach my spiritual seeking with renewed earnestness. A fresh willing-ness to uncover a deeper state of being arose, and an even stronger call to awaken fuelled my resolve. Redoubling my efforts at spiritual growth, I attended more workshops, enrolled in more training, read more spiritual books, and in general tried to fix myself more fervently.


But three years passed with no appreciable spiritual gains or no letup on the internal tur-moil. I had gotten a good job and was now earning over six-figures annually as a manager of a busy Beverly Hills four-surgeon medical practice. I did my best to apply spiritual con-cepts to working life, but the hectic pace usually split my attention. A new romantic relation-ship began. My website forwarded emails to me from readers that went unan- swered until I finally closed it down. Considering that per-haps I was making no spiritual progress late-ly, and with the imminent end to that new ro-mance, I wondered if perhaps enlightenment was impossible after all.

There were plenty of reasons to believe that a full awakening was unrealistic in these mod-ern times. How many ordinary seekers had actually attained enlightenment? With the ex-ception of a lucky few who had done so sponta-neously when on the brink of suicide, or follow-ing isolation with a guru in India, it seemed that no ordinary, relatively well-functioning seeker had won the spiritual lottery while working nine-to-five.

What seeker, I reasoned, sought enlighten-ment by refusing foreign spiritual travel tours or sitting at the feet of a traditional ashram-based guru? Who had stayed on the job, re-turning home nightly to demands of kids and family, juggling the bills, and had still achieved enlightenment? Surely, we mainstream seek-ers were sliding backwards down the spiritual path, stubbornly clutching our lottery ticket of hope for that elusive peace. If enlightenment or an enlightened way of living is possible, then it should be possible as a householder. The promise of spiritual attainment can’t be such that it eludes 99 percent of the people outside ashrams or demands that a person be a trust-fund baby able to live in meditative seclusion without needing auto insurance or having to re-late daily to worldly oriented family and friends.

And yet the inner call still sounded. It would not go away. The hope for enlightenment or an elevated state of being still burned inside from

visions years earlier during which a spiritual master appeared, encouraging participation in my own awakening. The clarion call of this vision was unmistakable: Enlightenment is possible for anyone who earnestly desires it.Despite doubts, but with the vision’s hope-ful promise urging me on, I again read my copy of The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment, by world-renowned spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle. Applying Tolle’s teach-ings again, this time I did so with renewed courage and discipline.

For good measure, I considered that maybe a personal guru was needed, someone I could study under on a daily or weekly basis. Pray-ing for the right spiritual teacher to show up in the flesh, I was now prepared to make what-ever change was necessary or to move any-where or do anything if it would tip the karmic scales in my favor. Awaiting a signal from heav-en above, I updated my résumé and resigned from the medical practice. The job didn’t feel right, nor did writing more books at this time or speaking publicly. Although there were a few more radio interviews to do that had been pre-viously scheduled, I vowed to conduct those and then drop out entirely from my life as an author. What my next move should be, I could not yet say.

Now able to utilize several months of unem-ployed quiet in which to pore over Tolle’s books and CDs, every morning I gathered his mate-rial in the shade under a palm tree for the day’s study. Every few hours I’d take a juice break in the house and email another résumé for a job that I didn’t really want.

Letters from readers still arrived, having been forwarded from my publisher. Guiltily, I added them to a large box of other letters and re-placed the lid.

Open to receiving spiritual guidance in what-ever form it came, I was now prepared to relo-cate to an isolated ashram. If a new workshop would do it, bring it on.



Even though Tolle’s teachings cautioned that the inner journey to self-realization was a verti-cal one deeper into self, requiring no horizontal travel, I wasn’t totally convinced. Surely, some-thing complex or expensive needed to be add-ed as an adjunct to effective spiritual practice. Praying for a real teacher, a true teacher, a final teacher, to present himself, I patiently awaited whatever was required to enlighten me.

Soon after, what proved to be the exact and perfect vehicle for my awakening presented itself in the form of my next job— caring for a woman in the middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease. When the position was first offered to me, my mind had many objections: the pay wasn’t right, being a caregiver seemed too menial, and the family wanted to start me on a part-time basis only. But despite my mind’s resistance, a quiet, inner urging asked me to step into the unknown.

A general medical dictionary defines Alzheim-er’s disease as a progressive neurologic dis-ease of the brain that leads to the irreversible loss of neurons and to dementia. The clinical hallmarks of Alzheimer’s are progressive im-pairment in memory, judgment, decision mak-ing, orientation to physical surroundings, and language.

However challenging the mental and physi-cal symptoms may be for the patient and the sympathy one feels for their suffering to the student of spirituality, observing the mental processes caused by dementia and the atten-dant resistance to those changes by her and her family, became the catalyst that fueled my awakening.

It was not that observation of the disease itself caused any particular insight. Instead, what was instructive was observation of the chronic objections and resistance to the challenges of the disease, as expressed by the patient and by her family and friends. This resistance was observed to be a perfect microcosm of the resistance of, and hence mechanics of, suffer-ing that we all experience through normal daily

living. By virtue of my opportunity to closely observe the inherent dysfunction in the way every mind objects to what is, the conclusion that presented itself was stunning albeit un-popular in its implication: all mental suffering was self-induced, no matter the so-called rea-son for that mental suffering.

Physical suffering as a result of pain and ill-ness, in addition to any kind of mental suf-fering from loss, can act as a catalyst for a spiritual opening as the sufferer seeks a deep-er meaning of life; however, this is not the case for everyone. Some people grow more hardened, effectively shunning a golden op-portunity to soften the hard shell of resistance. This softening is the soil where the seed of spir-itual growth can finally take root. If no softening occurs, the sufferer continues to seek meaning through shallow means, such as hanging on to self-image and seeking approval of others through appearance, actions, or accumula-tion. Although physically and mentally healthy individuals are not offered this golden oppor-tunity to suddenly awaken spiritually, physical or mental suffering is not needed for spiritual attainment. All that’s required is to become astutely aware of the dysfunctional mechan-ics of mental suffering so-called normal human mental processes which is at first easier to observe in others, and then to observe the same mechanics alive in yourself.

The purpose of this book is to help you to more fully participate in this new paradigm for real-izing enlightenment by helping you in three areas:

l. You will be provided an effective context and process for a perspective shift regarding who your final teacher really is. In other words, the guru who can ensure that you attain enlight-en- ment comes in the form of your everyday problems, and particularly any difficult person in your environment. This difficult person her after referred to as your “DP”—is someone you may have mistakenly believed is blocking your spiritual progress by shattering your peace of mind.


Lisette Larkins has had extraordinary extraterrestrial encounters since childhood. The importance of them was to reveal to her the possibility of experiencing a “chronic state of well-being” and to inspire the recognition that, as spiritual beings in human bodies, we are designed to create to the same degree and with the same ability as extraterrestrials. Although she had written three books about these expe-riences, it wasn’t until she discovered the work of Eckhart Tolle on being “present” that a clear path presented itself. She be-gan to apply these principles in her work as a publishing company sales director, author, and spiritual guide and went on to publish three more books.

Lisette’s previous titles are: Talking to Extraterrestrials: Communicating with Enlightened Beings (Hampton Roads, 2002); Calling on Extraterrestrials: 11 Steps to Inviting Your Own UFO Encounters (Hampton Roads, 2003); Listening to Extraterrestrials: Telepathic Coaching by Enlightened Beings (Hampton Roads, 2004); Difficult People: A Gateway to Enlightenment (Rainbow Ridge Books, 2011); and Talking to Extraterrestrials: Transforming Our World with the Help of Enlightened Beings (Rainbow Ridge Books, 2013). Above and Beyond: The Incredible True Story of Extraterrestrial Contact (Rainbow Ridge Books, 2014) is the latest in her oeuvre. http://www.lisettelarkins.com/

2. During this process you will be able to un-cover what is really blocking your full essence from being revealed so that self- realization can occur. This means that what normally trou-bled you about a DP in your immediate envi-ronment can now act as a catalyst for spiritual awakening. Rather than becoming upset, and emotionally reacting to the DP, you now can recognize their dysfunction and remain bliss-fully unmoved despite their often extremely negative dysfunctional patterns.

3. While reading this book, you may recognize that you are a DP. This is a blessed recogni-tion and is so beneficial that the date of this realization might even replace your annual birthday celebration as a date of significance. Since every DP suffers intensely, and also creates untold suffering for those in their en-vironment, recognizing your status as a DP will finally help you dissolve this complex. Only someone whose cognition is impaired, e.g., an Alzheimer’s or dementia patient, may be un-able to implement strategies to consciously reduce mental suffering in themselves and others. Everyone else is a potential spiritual master ready to awaken.

Common, yet dysfunctional, mental processes block spiritual growth. To be able to observe the nuances of these dysfunctional mental processes alive within you creates immedi-ate relief. When you apply an effective spiri-tual solution to remedy those dysfunctional processes, your self-realization arises. But first it is helpful to observe the mechanics of dys-function in another so that you can then recog-nize your own inner DP. As such, being in thepresence of any DP fills this need perfectly.

Recently it appears that so much information has been published on being an Empath; it seems to have become the new ‘in’ word, when basically all it really is doing is giving a label to the ability to feel. The truth is this: we are all Empaths; all feeling Beings, for we are God; it’s just that some block this natural state, through fear.

Feeling involves emotions, and many do not wish to go there. Painful memories lead to emotions and feelings that many do not wish to address; therefore blocking is one way to defend ourselves from feeling.

Being An Empath


Ellen Angelica Pendergast received a B.A. in Education in 1978; four major fields of study: English, Art, Social Studies, and Psychology. Received her M.S. in Clinical Psychology in 1997. Has treated patients in a locked psych ward, held a two office private practice, and currently is starting a private practice in Arizona.

Taught Psychology classes at a University in the Chicago area, and has just completed a children’s book. She is currently writing another book for young adults and the general public.

Contact Ellen; [email protected]

Empathy places us in a position to feel anoth-er’s pain, and how can we do that, when often we cannot even stand to feel our own? What is the solution to ‘re-membering (becoming a member once again) of the connection to the All that Is, which is God/Universe/Love? (for more information on this subject, please view the Conversations With God trilogy, by Neale Donald Walsch).

Moreover, how can we expect to BE empathic to others when so often we do not even display that for ourselves?

It is much more loving and simple to view Empathy as connection. We connect when we feel safe; we disconnect sometimes out of fear, sometimes out of habit, but always from neglect. Somehow our connection to someone was neglected (usually by another individual) and we close off so as not to feel the discon-nect any longer. Sadly, those that close off are always in a state of being disconnected, andit becomes comfortable but not in the sense of contentment; rather a settling into a pattern. An analogy would be as one sits on ones’ leg and it falls asleep; for a while we may not feel anything, and then when trying to get up and walk, one can hardly stand on the leg.

Disconnect is like that; it may seem ok for a while, but it’s hard to stand alone without feel-ing eventually it’s difficult to even go on. True disconnect can even sometimes lead to suicide in extreme cases. No one that ever felt con-nected committed suicide.

On another level, new information reveals that all addictions come from a lack of connection. How else could it be? If one feels disconnect, they withdraw, and drugs/alcohol provide some temporary relief from feeling disconnected and alone in the world. However, the truth is every-where; in every book and lecture that every Master has even written or said: we are never disconnected from our Source, which is the energy of Love; some call this energy God. It is US and we are THAT.

That knowing will produce an AWARENESS of a connection that never dies, for it/we are eternal, sacred, magnificent Beings of the Universe and to be Empathic only means we are allowing who We Really Are to be made manifest in this physical form, through only one Source....Love.

Empathy therefore is another aspect of God, expressed.

To be an Empath is not a talent that some have and others do not; rather it is a choice to let go of the fear that is blocking this gift that we all are, which is Love.

As the Christ said, ‘….be a light onto the dark-ness, so that all may see...’

Empathy is that Light.

Blessings!

Q A&Spirit-Minded

(Advice Column)

Ask Ellen Angelica Pendergast

Question: Dear Spirit-MInded: My son and I are at odds over his girlfriend; they have been together 5 years; are in late twenties and she has been controlling family gather-ings, meetings, etc. If she doesn’t want to attend, he won’t, even if he truly wish-es to…I am starting to feel such contempt and yet if I say something, I get ‘punished,’ and don’t see him….what should I do or feel about this?

Signed: Hurt

Answer: Dear Hurt, So many times these situations arise and always, when remembering why we are here, we must view them as what they truly are….an opportunity to decide who and what we wish to BE about it all. First acknowledge how you feel, as hav-ing that feeling, when negative, will quick-ly help us to seek a remedy for it. You must decide what you wish to BE about it, meaning this: do you wish to be a victim, martyr, savior, child, adult, apathetic, ag-gressive, passive, etc? These are just a few states of Being that one can choose from, as there are many others.

Next, the best way to decide is two-fold; which one serves you well? Now at first, it may appear that to feel badly and choos-ing the victim role feels good, as that role seeks sympathy and compassion. The problem is that most often when some-one is angry, those two emotions are be-ing blocked by that anger. One then must decide if feeling and experiencing that role called ‘victim,’ really does serve to erase the problem. Sadly that choice usu-ally keeps the victimization going.

How to decide? Ask oneself, what would Love do now? Not loving the other, but loving Self? And the fastest way, (even if one does not have children), is to ask yourself, what would I tell my child if they were in my situation? Once you know, force yourself to do that for yourself. This works because we Love our children un-conditionally, and even if we have none, we know what we would tell our child if we had one. Following the same advice for Self places us in a state of Being that brings peace, and from that peace, all good flows, including Love.

Healing will then take place.Blessings!

ColorWorks part Two

by PATTI CONKLIN


White is most effective in cleansing and clear-ing out the body, even though the color your body requests breaks up the blockage and gets it moving. If you have any experience do-ing laundry, think of white as the fabric softener in a rinse cycle. White perfectly finishes the work done within you, after the color your body chooses to use as “detergent” is complete.

“Why must I do the affirmations even if I’m not ‘well’ yet?”

The whole purpose of the ColorWorks, after releasing your issue, is to establish within you new and positive thought and word patterns, so you do not re-create your issue. Colors release blockages, but the affirmations are in-surance against continuing to use the same thought and speech patterns that created your issue in the first place. When you regu-larly think and speak in new and positive ways, it helps you make a habit of your new pat-tern of appreciation, and more quickly.

“When I asked my body what color it needed to get rid of my headache, I thought it said black! Does that mean I have a brain tumor?”

No, your body isn’t saying you have a brain tumor. Black is not a bad color; it doesn’t mean something bad is taking place. Color is simply a convenient way of recognizing and using vibrations, and no one color is better than any other.Your body simply needs the vibration of black. Black is a heavier and slower moving vibration, which is effec-tive at breaking large or solid blockages into manageable pieces.

“Does one color work better than another?”

I suggest you begin the ColorWorks by wrap-ping yourself in a white cocoon simply because white is a color that most people feel safe with. If you feel safer in pink or yellow, then use one of those colors at that point, but remember to rely on your body’s choice of color to deal with your issue, as it is not the visual shade of color that’s important, but its vibrational quality must match what your body needs to work.

“The second time I did The ColorWorks, I asked for a color, and the answer I got was triangles. Did I do something wrong?”

You cannot do ColorWorks “wrong.” Triangles are just fine. Your body knows what it needs. Shapes have their own vibrations.

One client, a little boy about six, told me he needed purple triangles with lime green cen-ters. He started breathing them through his body, and all went well for about a minute. Then he started to sneeze. When I asked him what was going on, he said the triangles tickled!

“Why do I have to ask for a color to balance my body?”

The old saying, “Nature abhors a vacuum,” applies here. You have moved out chunks of old energy, and that work has left tiny, empty spaces, and a new vibrational rate. You need to replace what you’ve released, and stabilize it with something new and preferable; other-wise, the old pattern will return.

The balancing color, along with the affirmations, move in to set the new pattern in place.


“I felt cold when I did the ColorWorks. Is that normal?”

I get cold, too. When you move that much en-ergy, direct- ing your body’s resources to that specific task, they’re no longer focused on keeping you warm. Keep a blanket handy, and wrap up before beginning, if you need to.

“After I did the ColorWorks, the room was re-ally stuffy. Why was that?”

What you’re recognizing is the old, stale en-ergy you’ve just moved out. To help remove it from your environment, I suggest using cur-ry. Put about an inch of water in a small sauce pan, bring it to a boil, and add one tablespoon of curry. Stir it gently for a few seconds, and then walk around the room. While you’re at it, why not give yourself a fresh beginning by walk-ing throughout the entire house, cleaning out stale energy from the corners of each room with your curry pot?

“Is there anything I can do to help deal with a difficult situation in the moment, so it doesn’t get stored, instead of needing to do the full ColorWorks process later?”

You’re looking for first aid, and that’s a great idea. If you’re in a challenging situation, use your time and energy to make what improve-ment you can in the moment by touching or massaging your comfort spot. Later you can handle the balance when you do the Color-Works process completely.

Everyone has a Comfort Spot, which, upon being touched or rubbed, helps you feel more comfortable. Some people have two. If you don’t know where yours is, have a friend stand about five feet away from you and, beginning at the top of your head, visually scan your body. He should very slowly scan your fore-head, across your eyebrows, your eyes, and the bridge of your nose, and so on, right down to your toes. As he does this, he will hit on

one spot that makes you smile. That’s your Comfort Spot.

If nothing shows up on the front of your body, it may be necessary to turn around and have your friend scan your back side as well. Noth-ing says that the Comfort Spot is located on the front of your body, nor does it have to be in the easiest- to-reach location.

When you’ve located your Comfort Spot, you can use it to help clear away or prevent the internalization of negative emotions, thoughts, or issues.

For example, let’s say you’ve just had an argument with your child about picking up his toys. He refuses to do what you ask, throws a toy at you, and runs out the back door. You’re sitting in the kitchen awash in a tide of feel-ings—tired, frustrated, feeling like a failure as a parent, and angry that you seem to be the only one to discipline your son.

Take a deep breath, exhale, and begin to rub your Com- fort Spot as you think of the scene that just took place between you and your son. Breathe calmly as you review it. In many cas-es, you’ll feel a shift, and your feelings become less intense. Instead of feeling as if you’ve just run into a wall, you may find a door—a way to handle this issue—or you may have the feeling that you’ll find a solution soon. Later, when you have time to do the full ColorWorks process, you can do a more thorough job of clearing the anger and the feeling of failure.

The Comfort Spot can also be used as a tool to help you clear old memories and emotions. The process is much the same as for handling the previous issue. Think of an issue in the past that still causes you stress. Once you have the issue clearly in your mind, and you’re feeling the emotions that go with it, rub your Comfort Spot, and continue until you feel a shift.


The feelings may lighten a little, they may light-en a lot, or the whole issue may leave. You can think of it and feel neu- tral, as if you don’t have an emotional attachment to it. This is an especially good way to deal with stressful is-sues. Rubbing the Comfort Spot helps loosen them up so that, when you’re ready to do the ColorWorks process, these stressful memories will move out more easily and completely.

“What if I want to clear out a stressful issue, and it’s evident that my body isn’t ready to let go of it. What do I do then?”

When you can be in a calm place, think of the issue. Ask yourself why you’re not ready to let go of this particular issue. As an answer comes to your mind, press gently on your heart, and ask if that’s the real reason you’re not ready to let go. When you come to the true reason you’re still holding onto the issue, you’ll feel a shift inside yourself. You can then decide the best way to deal with it.

“I do not ‘see’ the actual colors my body choos-es on the inside of my eyelids, or I only see col-ors every now and then. Am I doing ColorWorks wrong?”

ColorWorks cannot be done “wrong.” If you do not ever “see” the colors, you may simply be processing through another dominant sense. If you see colors only occasion- ally, your domi-nant sense may change from time to time, or even from day to day. The most important part is to trust the process.

The Dance of the Divine Loverby Rasha


In A Journey to Oneness—the long-awaited sequel to the underground spiritual classic, Oneness—Divine Messenger, Rasha, takes us along on a seven-year odyssey through the labyrinths of consciousness, as she shares the incredible story of her own spiritual journey. With the profound wisdom of Oneness (the Divine Presence often referred to as “God”) to light the way, A Journey to Oneness takes us for an authentic ride on the roller-coaster of spiritual transformation, and gives us the tools to radically change our lives—and trans-form our world.

This vivid, literary tapestry chronicles a mind’s probing questions about what is actually hap-pening as it slowly unravels and shifts into a higher octave of perception—documents the astounding answers as they emerge from within—and weaves it all seamlessly with the poetry and rapture of Divine Union. As One-ness helps Rasha circumnavigate the potholes along the road to “freedom,” the reader is given a vibrant new vision of the nature of human-ness, and in-depth guide to discovering the Divinity within.

Here’s a selection from A Journey to Oneness that captures an exquisite sense of the rapture that awaits us on the spiritual journey. In these passionate words of Divine wisdom, Oneness guides us toward discovering who we really Are!

......

“Amidst a whirlwind of preparations for return-ing to India for the winter, I transcribed this beautiful passage from Oneness. The words of Oneness so often seemed prophetic to me. They had a way of setting the stage for the deep inner shifts that invariably would follow, as I allowed my heart to lead me ever deep-er into the great unknown. Oneness captured the absolute wonderment of that ongoing sense of surrender, and its inherent gift of self-discovery, with this most poetic passage. It was selected and adapted as a meditation entitled “The Dance of the Divine Lover” for the CD, The Meditations of Oneness: A Journey to the Heart of the Divine Lover, which was released in November, 2009.

The sacred state of Divine Union and why we are here in physical form Oneness speaks:

This is Oneness. This is the Presence that permeates your consciousness in this moment. This is the blissful union of which you are a part. This is the destiny toward which you journey. And this is the destination at which you have already arrived. This is the sacred con-tract that has been fulfilled, in perpetuity, with every nuance of your unfoldment. This is the promise that continues to be revealed within you, with every waking breath.


This experience of the embracing of your own Divinity is not an act defined in a moment and thereafter relegated to something that has already happened. It is an experience that grows and deepens—an experience that con-tinues to unfold. And not unlike the experience of lovemaking, presents a newness with each embrace.

Every time we experience this union—this Oneness—we are deepening a bond that will only continue to grow eternally. Every touch of this Presence is like a caress. Every breath, bonded in the embrace of Presence, is Divine Love, revealing itself, and reveling in its own unbridled aliveness. There is no other within the context of this consummate embrace. It is Self, glorying in its’ own unfoldment, discover-ing the delights of its own Essence, mirroring its’ own sweetness through the perceptions of form.

We share in the experience of form. And we share in the experience of formlessness. For,in the exchange, you have revealed the true nature of your own Sacred Self, and the mira-cle of a birthing into awareness is experienced, through the vehicle of form, throughout the full multidimensionality of form and formlessness that is who you truly Are. This foray into the experience of Oneness, is not simply a one-on-one exchange. It is an exponential encounter, rippling out like a raindrop, into liquid stillness, touching every aspect of that Divine Presence with the sheer joy of it. Your bliss, in this moment, is not your own. For, to perceive it as an experience that is yours would be to contain it and imprison it—to with-hold the raindrop from the ocean of percep-tion that waits, yearning in anticipation, to re-ceive it. This bliss is not at all your experience. For, in the union that brings this joy into mani-festation, is the relinquishing of the boundaries that would define that limited sense of self. In the receiving of it is the simultaneous re-linquishing of the separation that would allow

for the possibility that this experience—or any experience—would be one’s own. The sense of you-ness merges into a totality of perception. And the sense of who and what you Are takes on the coloration of an infinitely broader spec-trum of possibility. The one who is perceiving this moment of de-light is not at all limited to the linear you who began this lifetime believing in the illusion of that very separation and spent decade after decade creating a history of supporting evidence to bolster that presumption. Now, you begin to be able to sense the monumen-tal piece of fiction that has been created in the name of that minute shred of identity. You are so much more than that. In this experience of Divine Nowness, where an unfathomable scope of awareness hints at its’ own Isness, you, as the vehicle of linear perception, are able to translate the touch of the Supreme Lover into the language of linear experience—and through breaths of joy, give it definition. This is Who you Are, the micro-cosm and the macrocosm of your own expo-nential Isness, peering through the pinhole of your own minute vantage point, and gasping in wonder at implications that are magnificently incomprehensible—and at the same time, un-questionable.


Only though the shieldedness of that vision is the sublime sense of wonderment possible. For, in the fullness of that infinite awareness, all of it simply Is. So, by all means, perceive this moment with which you have been gifted. Feel the fullness of these delights. And know that it is through the blessed perception of the sheer joy of your own Self-discovery, that you give the gift of that Love in return.

With each set of eyes that is opened, with each blissful new awakening, the dance of the Di-vine Lover takes another step toward Ultimate Union. And with every glimpse into the secret inner sanctums of sacredness and delight, you add yet another caress to the experience of Di-vine Love that is here, for all the world to share.

This newborn moment is the gift. This miracle of Self-recognition is what we have come to this experience of incarnate reality to share: Oneness, in bonded union with our own sacred essence, with full, conscious awareness of it. That is why you are here. That is why you have come into form. That is why you are secretly so intrigued with the possibility of the world of the formless. This is what keeps you searching for clues to the meaning of your existence, rath-er than simply allowing the bars of your outer prison to define your world. The seeds of Self-discovery, planted so deeply within you, have begun to seek the Light. And, slowly, from the depths of self-imposed captivity, the seed of Divine Life is moving toward the experience of daybreak.”

Home Remedies for Skin Hydration

Skin hydration is important if you want to get and keep skin that is smooth and glows. The skin locks in a great amount of the water that is available in our body. Actually, most of the water is needed to keep skin firm and supple.

That is the reason why when you are dehy-drated, your skin loses its suppleness and ap-pears thin and unhealthy.

There are many ways to keep your skin hy-drated; however the best and most simple way is to drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day.

Fruits also help supplement the amount of wa-

ter you supply your body since a significant percentage of their weight is primarily water.

The reason it’s important to drink water throughout the day is because when your body runs out of water, it will start sourcing water from your skin, thus leaving your skin dry.

Remember that the body needs water to func-tion well. All cellular activities that keep us alive and healthy need water to work effec-tively. So for you to stay alive your body needs water, and for your skin to stay healthy and supple, you really need to keep your body well hydrated.
