My New Hope for the Future blog

I just started posting on my Technology, Hope for the Future blog. As a psychic, I often get asked questions about technology and solutions to the world's problems, so I ask in meditation and get answers. I don't always understand the answers because they involve technology that I have not seen yet. So, I watch and I wait, and when I see the technology show up, I know that what I have been shown is true.

To honor those predictions, I decided to start a new blog that chronicles what I am seeing as it manifests. Solutions to the world's most important issues are already here and available. We just have to get out of our own way and let them manifest. We have to implement them, and sometimes that's the most difficult piece.

Here's the link to my new blog if you're interested in the solutions to the world's energy problems and water shortages. I'll be posting what inspires me as technology serving humanity. I hope you enjoy it.

Primary Water: More hope for the future.

Be a Flower Child

Be a Flower Child

By: Sandy Penny . http://sandypenny.com . http://writingmuse.com

There’s a lot of talk these days about raising our vibrations and harmonizing with the shifting energies on the planet. Just how do we do that?

One of the tools we can use is flowers. Flowers exist to remind us of the beauty in this world. They ask for nothing, but to receive everything they need to accomplish their mission on the planet: to nourish the creatures of the earth through love, beauty, vibration, and micronutrients you can’t get from other fruits and vegetables. Flowers never try, they just are their highest expression. Meditating on the flower world and giving thanks for their gifts to us automatically raises your vibration. Live flowering plants inside your home enhance the beauty of your surroundings and give you live foods to enhance your diet. Just make sure you only use food-grade fertilizers and pesticides if you plan to eat them.

In Europe, flowers are often used in cooking, salads, and garnishes. In the United States, we tend to just use them to decorate our homes or to demonstrate our affection for our loved ones. We forget that many flowers are tasty and medicinal, and that they can affect our moods, help us sleep, heal our ailments and raise our vibration to their natural frequency of love, joy and beauty. We also get color frequency benefits from flowers in ranges that are not offered by fruits and vegetables. Flowers satisfy our eyes and our stomachs.

You can drink flower teas, and their nutrients are very absorbable and usually don’t contain caffeine as they provide mood-enhancing benefits. They work directly with our endorphins, enzymes, and hormones.

Chamomile flowers help us relax and sleep better. They are good for your stomach, and can be made into a paste to counteract swelling and joint pain. Lavender can be used in many recipes as an herb. It also helps us relax and inspires dreams while releasing karmic patterns from our lives. You may also enhance your psychic or intuitive abilities by regularly using lavender. Roses are edible, and in the eastern world, rose water sweetened with honey or sugar is a beverage that offers vitamin C, immune building benefits and has a cooling effect in hot climates. An infusion of rose flowers can help with headache and dizziness and can be used as a blood purifier.

Chrysanthemum tea rids us of parasites. Hibiscus flowers are full of antioxidants and vitamin C, and they have a delightful citrus taste. They can be eaten on salads, made into teas, and mixed with fruits or fruits juices. Hibiscus has a slightly stimulating effect and is used in Red Zinger blend tea. Peonies lessen the pain of childbirth. In France, violets are glazed and eaten as candy, made into teas and used as edible decorations on cakes.

Flower essences, tinctures made from flowers, can be very helpful in dealing with this constantly changing energy right now. Bach flower remedies are some of the best known, but there are many brands recommended by natural healing practitioners. Rescue Remedy, one of the Bach Flower Remedies, has helped many of my friends deal naturally with stress, anxiety and depression.

I personally muscle test all foods, supplements, and remedies to see if they are right for me at a given time. If I want to raise my vibration, I muscle test or dowse whether a course of action will accomplish that goal. Our bodies and energy systems are changing radically these days, and only we can decide what is best for us. Programs touting the same benefits for everyone are suspect to me. I want to be sure I’m doing only what my body and spirit want and need. There are no treatments that work for everyone all the time, so the first vibration-raising exercise is to acknowledge the wisdom of our bodies and honor them by asking what they need. Once we get a response, honoring the wisdom by following the guidance we get will take us to our next level of consciousness: mindful awareness and gratitude.

So, if you’re ready to become a flower child, start by muscle testing organically grown flowers and choose those that will raise your vibration and help you harmonize with and fulfill your personal mission. Flower power works. Explore, enjoy and keep growing toward your full potential.

Changing Times – The Aquarian Age Shift

Make the Leap

Changing Times . The Aquarian Age Shift

by Sandy Penny . HoustonSpirituality.com

I awoke this morning with messages to share with all of you about the shifting times we’re in and what’s happening now and what is changing.

First, there was a wave of illness this past week with flu-like symptoms, fever, nausea, down for the count loss of energy. This, I’m told is the letting go process releasing the fear of change. The storms and earthquakes happening now are just recalibrating the planet.

Those of you who have found a way to feather their nests in this stormy energy have fears that these changes will destroy your comfort levels, but this is not the case. And that fear will slow you down. Changes will occur anyway because the cosmic energy supports something different now, but how you experience the change is up to you. Fear it or embrace it and love it.

All the things you love and cherish and have been able to maintain through the last couple of years of sloughing off your snakeskin or breaking out of your cocoon have resulted in a refinement of what you want in your life. You need not fear further loss as the intention now is to build the new and good for everyone.

The energy of the old age, the Piscean Age, was of power and control, the few in charge of the many, and personal control issues and addictions as well. So, all the corporation building, the wars and dictators are products of the old age, and the energy no longer supports these structures. That is why you see them falling away one by one and en masse.

The Aquarian Age supports a new way of being: community, creativity, collaboration, cooperation and compassion. Because the cosmic energy now supports new structures, we are able to release the karmic patterns created during the old age, and claim the lessons and rewards of our service to humanity.

In the Piscean Age, if you stood up for your truth, you were most likely killed for it, i.e., Jesus, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, John Kennedy and so many others. In a past life, I was bound to a water wheel and stoned to death by the very people I was trying to help. This was an old pattern, and it created a long-term fear that if we speak out we will be killed. It shut our voices down and our throat chakras closed up.

But, now is the time to claim the rewards for the times we spoke out for others and stood up for what is right. Now is the time when we are being asked to truly center ourselves in our heart and ask what truth do we want to express in our lives? What life do we want to live? What environment do we want to live in? All these things are possible to manifest now.

Ever since I had that fifth-dimensional training dream, I have become acutely aware of my thoughts and feelings and what, through lifetimes, has reinforced limiting beliefs in me. The truth is that those limitations may have resulted from standing in your truth in energy that did not support that truth – a true act of bravery. We deserve the rewards of our bravery, our selfless acts and our concern for the wholeness when all was being divided into little pieces. We deserve to be rewarded for being who we are, for coming to this planet, for sharing in the common good.

What would a world look like that gave you all the things you want in life? What is truly important to you? You don’t have to have the whole picture, just your beautiful heart-felt picture. We, as a whole will put that puzzle together into an amazing collage that offers us a reality that is greater than the sum of its parts.

It’s time now. Make the leap. Believe and let go. Claim your piece of the new age, the new energy and your new life.

Last week, I moved back to NM to the beautiful Oso Vista Ranch where I’m helping create retreats and trainings for the new age, helping people claim their health, their wealth, their creative passions. Helping people move into their new lives easily, joyfully and willingly. http://osovistaranch.com 

My shift has occurred, and I’m living the life that all my lives have prepared me for. Nothing is wasted. All my skills, hopes, dreams, passions and joys are embodied in this new expression. But I spent nine months stewing in the old energy before I made the internal shift that allowed the outer expression to occur. I’m living the dream and loving it. I feel like the genie blinked, but I’m the one who blinked.

I look out my windows at the spectacular view and look around the beautiful, comfortable home I’m in, and my heart swells with gratitude. You’ve done the work, now claim the rewards.

Look where I live, photos are posted on my Facebook page: My Zuni Mountain neighborhood: https://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.10150707679779144.416047.783179143&type=1&notif_t=photo_album_comment   

(You’ll have to sign into your FB account to see this, I beleive.)

Thanks for sharing this phase of the journey. The best is yet to come.

Love … Sandy Penny, http://sandypenny.com

Journey Update – On the Road Again 2012

by Sandy Penny

After 9 months of gestating in Houston and on the heels of my fifth dimensional training dream, my Zuni Mountain project has finally come to fruition. I’ll be leaving Houston this Wednesday, April 4, (Full moon arrival on the 5th. All my comings and goings from Albuquerque happen at the full moon.) and driving through Albuquerque a few hours west to the Oso Vista Ranch (http://osovistaranch.come) where I’ll be living and helping with retreat marketing and other work. The wonderful Margaret Merrill, owner of this magical place, has invited me to be a part of her work. http://margaretmerrill.com.

I couldn’t be happier to join someone who is aligned with the concept of “Live the Life You Love.” It’s a match made in heaven for me. More on that later. She also founded an organization to help the Navajo residents in her local area with many resources, including photography and art for children. http://osovistaranchproject.org. What amazing work she’s doing. By the way, you can book a stay at the Oso Vista Ranch with or without my being there. Or, you can choose to attend retreats as they are scheduled.

I’ll also be helping Dr. Bera Dordoni with her health and spirituality retreats. We’ll be hosting one in May for a very small group of committed shifters at the Oso Vista Ranch. It will be a Recalibration for 2012. This project has been the one gestating for the last nine months. Due to some delays in construction of her facility, the project kept moving further away. Then, a couple of weeks ago, she got a call from Margaret Merrill, who is in the same vicinity, offering for her to begin the retreats at Oso Vista while the buildout is being completed. This was out of the blue and completely Spirit guided synchronicity.

Bera, wanting me to be able to come out and help, spoke to Margaret, and then Margaret and I spoke, and we hatched the plan for me to stay at Oso Vista Ranch. I’m so excited about this and just wanted to share how fast the energy is moving. This all just happened on Friday, and I’ll be taking off on Wednesday.

And if that’s not enough, a fantastic new editing client showed up through angelic connections. Aluna Joy: http://www.alunajoy.com/ who takes groups on spiritual journeys to sacred sites like Glastonbury, Egypt, and Peru, but also channels the guardians, teachers and buddies from these ancient traditions. I am very aligned with what she’s bringing through and am so happy to be able to help these messages get to publication. I’m sure at some point I’ll be on one of those magical journeys with her.

I’m also helping with the Wake Up Now Conference II in support of the School of Now. Last year was great, and Nancy Wallace is doing it all again with a new panel of speakers, healers and teachers. Check it out: http://wakeupnowconference.com.

So, all that being said, now you’re updated on my next phase. Send me your new and good. I love to hear the shifts that are occurring as the energy moves through and sweeps us along on the wave.

Much love and light and support to all of you on your missions. Thanks for being a part of my journey and letting me share it with you.

Too Weird

by Sandy Penny . 3-28-2012

The other night I had a dream about being recruited for a fifth dimensional training school. It is very hard to describe, but suffice it to say that every move I made, every decision I made, every thought I had was influencing what happened next. It was a bit like living inside a video game where you keep moving to different levels by making a simple choice. I’ve been musing on that dream for a couple of weeks now, and it’s very powerful. I felt it was the first time I actually connected with the fifth dimensional reality that so many people talk about as we make this major shift this year. The dream made my current life experiences make more sense. If I’m already living in the fifth dimension, but I don’t know it, things may not work the way I think they will based on my 3D experiences. It also accounts for the start and stop energy on so many projects these days.

I recently connected with a woman in the fifth dimension who offered me a great project. It could involve several of my creative friends, and it seemed so right. We started working on the project, and suddenly she began acting very differently, pulling me in different directions, giving me instructions, then changing the whole project before I could get started. Finally, I bowed out of the project because I felt disrespected in the process. Showing respect for those who are on this journey with you is so important these days. We are all facing challenges that tax our resources to the max, and recognizing that you’re not the only one having this experience is part of the shift.

My guides once said to me, “Everything has changed, nothing is what you thought it would be.” There was no ominous charge on the statement, just shared information. And, it has been so true for me. Everything has changed, and nothing is what I thought it would be. I’m having to make huge leaps within myself to catch up with this fast moving energy. I’m having to be very intentional with what I want to experience right now. Perhaps you are as well.

Some of the weird experiences you may experience:

You are talking with a friend, and suddenly you remember everything they’re saying. You say, yes, you already told me that, but they look at you quizzically and say, “I couldn’t have told you yet because it just happened this morning, and we haven’t talked about it.” Then you relate the whole conversation, and it’s correct, but you couldn’t have had it yet.

And on the other side of that, your friend relates something the two of you supposedly did together recently, and you have no memory of it at all. Your friend begins to think you’re going senile, but you know it must have happened in another dimension, and this version of you never experienced it. It gets a bit confusing and disorienting.

Time distortion: You wake up, and it’s 8:45 am. You have a few minutes before you need to get up, so you decide to catnap again. You have an amazing lengthy dream, and wakeup afraid you’ve overslept. You look at the clock, andit’s 8:45 am, the same time. This can happen multiple times. Finally you get up just to stop the experience.

Then, of course, there are the disappearing items. You put your glasses into your purse, leave for an appointment, and when you arrive, you find you don’t have your glasses. You remember the whole process of putting them in your purse, but they’re not there. You struggle through the appointment and go to your car. You look in your purse for your keys, and there are your glasses on top of everything else. The same may be true for a cup of tea you made, a bag of fruit you bought at the grocery that totally disappeared from your counter, or a new blouse you bought yesterday that no longer exists. Money in your bank account that doesn’t belong there, money not in your bank account that you put in yesterday, and it was there last night but missing this morning. Pounds that you put on and take off overnight, sometimes up to 30 pounds more or less in a day.

You are not going crazy. You are reality shifting, stepping back and forth over invisible boundary lines as you make choices for the future. These seemingly small indicators are actually important reminders to be mindful of your thoughts, feelings and actions. This is a bumpy ride right now, so don’t buy into the story that you’re sick or senile or absent minded. Become more aware of these events in order to begin stabilizing the energy for yourself. Pay attention to the messages they may be giving you.

Be gentle, be kind and be loving to yourself and others around you as you go through this ascension and enlightenment process. It’s a sign that we’re ready for the conscious shift. Onward and upward – NOW.

What if?

Questions for the future.

by Sandy Penny

When I  was a child, I received a message from Spirit that said, “No question is ever asked that does not already have an answer. It’s up to humanity to find the answer.” It did not say, it’s up to humanity to create the solution, only that it is up to us to “find” the answer. 

So, I have set out to ask questions that I would love to see answered, in order to inspire humanity to find the answer. If what I heard is true, how does it change the world? How does it change our approach to solving problems? How does it change our personal lives?

I have asked many big questions and received answers, and now I’m seeing those solutions appear in the world, exactly as they were shown to me. Oh, sometimes I didn’t have the vision to see what it would look like, but when it showed up, I was smart enough to recognize it as the answer I had been shown. That is so exciting to me.

WATER:

I asked the question, “What are we going to do about the water shortage in the world in the future?” I was told that there is no water shortage in the world, only a shortage of awareness of available water sources. Now it has come to my awareness that the earth creates water deep within, through its own chemical processes. That water is called primary water, pure H2O. Once considered a myth, it has now been drilled and found repeatedly. It is an idea whose time has come, and it is available and will show itself to us through the fissures created by earthquakes and other geolgoical events.

The answer is contained within the question. http://www.primarywater.com/ 

ENERGY:

I asked, “How are we going to solve the energy crisis and eliminate the toxic emissions from cars?” I was shown cars with photosynthesis cells, and houses run on photosynthesis. I was told, the plants are the answer. Not being very technical, I didn’t understand how that could work. Last year, MIT announced water splitting through photosynthesis. A small water bottle could run a car or a house, and an olympic-sized swimming pool could more than run the entire world with its energy needs growing for the next 42 years. A simple solution requiring no infrastructure. I want to see this built and sold. I want my home and car to be run by this clean energy, and with the primary water, no one can even say using water is not practical.

MIT WATER SPLITTING TECHNOLOGY (personalize energy): http://youtu.be/KTtmU2lD97o

TRASH/RECYCLING:

I asked, “What are we going to do with the increasin amounts of trash we’re creating?” I was shown that all matter can be broken down to base particles that are all the same. They are intelligent and responsive and can be made into anything, think Star Trek replicators. So, all trash will go to a central processing plant that will separate all the elements into their basic forms so they can be used to manufacture new  materials and products. That technology is currently under development, TRASH BLASTER: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2012/01/ff_trashblaster/all/1

All that being said, I just want to encourage you to see that solutions to our “unsolvable” problems are already being developed. The more energy we focus on the solutions and asking questions so that answers will show up, the faster we will advance into a better future.

What questions are you asking? What answers are you getting? The answer is inherent in the question, so be mindful of how you phrase your questions.

Let’s create a better world from a place of love.

Thanks for considering … Sandy

Once Upon a Time at Sanctuary

The Sun Manor Sanctuary began as an inspired message from Spirit. It was a half-way house for the spiritually awakening and those claiming their spiritual power. It was a place to find acceptance when the world and even your family had given up on you. Sanctuary was full of magical, mystical, miraculous people and events.

I have finally begun to write the first book in the Sanctuary series. I'm posting the chapters on my Sanctuary blog. Feel free to read them as I write them, knowing these are drafts. When I finish the book, these chapters will be removed from the blog. I'd love to have your comments and encouragement as the writing continues. Remember, the posts start from the bottom of the list on the left if you want to read from the beginning.

Rethinking Reality

One Moment in Time

Whitney Houston said, “Give me one moment in time when I’m more than I thought I could be … And in that one moment in time, I will feel eternity.” I wrote this story in January, 1993, just before I launched Sanctuary, my spiritual halfway house, which was its own leap of faith. In light of Oprah doing a firewalk, I'm sharing this article about my first firewalk.

A Leap of Faith

by Sandy Penny

I circled the fire with a tambourine in my hand, striking the instrument on my thigh in time with the chant, "My body does whatever it takes to protect itself."  I gazed into the glowing red and orange eyes of the twelve foot by four foot bed of coals and watched a coating of white ash begin to form. "The fire and I are one," I chanted with the others.

The fire pit looked back, studying me with its many eyes.  "Will you walk tonight?" it silently asked. Would I cast aside caution and logic and make a tremendous leap of faith with a few small steps on an 1800 degree bed of coals?  Could I?

The chant changed to "I am the light, I am the love" and then swelled around  me again with "The fire and I are one." I thought about how I came to be standing on the edge of eternity, a 42-year old woman, questioning the very nature of reality.

It was only a couple of weeks ago as I entered the Chapel of Prayer with fifty or so people to listen to a Hindu Guru tell traditional Indian parables, that I met Charmaine McGhie and Tore Fossum. We were seated next to each other and connected so quickly that Charmaine invited me to a New Year's Eve Party and Firewalk.

I was intrigued. I had seen firewalking on TV and read about it in National Geographics, but never had I witnessed it in person.

Meanwhile, the couple gave me a book called "Firewalk" by Jonathon Seinfeld that I read with great interest. The book called firewalking an empowerment tool and a subcultural movement in the U.S. since the 1970s. It said the U.S. has more firewalkers than the rest of the world put together. I couldn't believe it!  How could I have missed it?

I had pretty much tried every "new age" experience I had run into. How could such a phenomenon have slipped by unnoticed? My excitement grew as the days passed.

The book helped keep me occupied with a lot to think about in the days leading up to the party. It told stories of firewalking in every culture and quoted scriptures about firewalking. It even discussed the unsatisfactory research that has been done. I was primed for the experience - to watch the experience, at least.

I arrived early at the suburban house in a nice Friendswood, Texas neighborhood. Not really where one would expect to see a firewalk. The preparations looked like any other New Year's Eve party. Guests arrived with covered dishes, and someone played piano—fifties hits for a sing along. The only difference is that no alcohol was present.

At about 9:00 pm everyone gathered in the back yard. A norther was moving through, and the air was cooling down. The grass was soaked with a hose as a safety precaution, and the evening began. The fire department showed up to certify the safety measures, and approved the walk.

Each participant took turns carrying logs to build the fire. They were instructed to think of the logs like children, and focus loving attention on them. A firewalking facilitator took the logs and built an impressive "boy scout" style teepee-shaped structure that would become a large hungry bonfire that would devour about half a cord of wood.

The excited attendees took turns stuffing newspaper in the cracks, and the fire was lit with great ceremony. The blaze reached skyward as a word of thanks and protection was intoned by a lady wearing a long full skirt. Surely that skirt was not a good thing in which to walk through fire.  I love fires. I faced the flames and raised a hand in salute. Just as I raised my arm, the fire leaped upward, and it looked exactly like I was waltzing with the vulcan fire god. My friend Juanita snapped a photo of it, and I love that photo.

When the fire was blazing violet and gold, everyone went to the patio to try out some other phenomenal activities. It would be two to three hours before the coals were ready.

Someone announced it was time for the "rebar game" and a cheer rang out. I had no idea what that meant. Rebars are 3/4" x 6' steel bars used to reinforce concrete. Two people stand face to face about six feet apart and a rebar is suspended between them by placing the tip of the metal rod in the hollow of your throat. 

The two people are told to focus their energy and see the rod bending. When they feel focused, walk toward each other. The rod could either pierce your throat, cut off your breathing, or it could bend. The rest of the watchers focused energy as well while Whitney Houston’s “One Moment in Time” played loudly. It was the first time I had heard that song. So perfect for that moment in time.

All of rebars bent. There were no tracheotomies that night. It was impossible to use force to bend the rod in this position without tremendous pain. I know because I found that out through experience. But when properly focused, the rod just sort of melts, and  suddenly I was catching my partner in my arms as we fell toward each other laughing. Yes, I did it! I couldn't believe it.

Next, we broke boards like so many karate experts. Only we weren't. One inch thick by twenty-four inches wide pine boards were suspended across two large bricks. When I focused, the board almost broke itself. I was rewarded with a tremendous energy rush. I had no idea I could do that. I had never tried before. So many things are like that, we don’t know we can do them because we’ve never tried before.

Finally, the coals were ready. The group returned to the back yard. The fire was so hot, it was difficult to stand close to it for more than a few minutes. The coals were raked out smooth, and the temperature was measured at 1800 degrees.  How could anyone hope to walk on this? It was preposterous. I was glad I'd only come to watch.

The entranced group circled the fire pit and chanted as they connected with the coals. No one seemed to want to be first. I wondered if anyone would find the courage. Suddenly Charmaine was at the top of the pit quietly chanting and focusing on the far end of the coals.

Then it happened. She stepped onto the coals and kept walking, slowly, not rushing, the full twelve feet. As she stepped off, a cheer went up, and she walked around the pit and repeated it. She was followed by Tore and another, and another. A line of people followed with no injuries. The lady in the long, gossamer skirt walked eight times, and the fabric did not catch fire. Everyone had walked, except me and one other person. "Oh well," I thought, "I only came to watch anyway."

Some people walked slowly, some people ran, some people danced. One person cartwheeled through the coals and then did the most amazing thing. He stepped onto the coals and stood there in one place, reached down and lifted up a handful of coals and threw them into the air. Then he quietly walked off the fire pit - unharmed.

This went on for a couple of hours. It was like a dream. My mind had no place to file this scene. Could I do it too? Did I have enough faith and concentration and courage? I didn't know. I did not feel afraid. But I also did not feel compelled to walk. Even so, I had removed my shoes and socks. Was that significant?

Then a voice was calling out  "Last call. It's time to go in and dance." Charmaine stepped up to the pit again, and this time I stepped out beside her and took her hand. We looked briefly at each other. Charmaine squeezed my hand and smiled, and we began to walk. We moved together, not too fast, casually. It felt as if we were in a cool tunnel. None of the radiant heat I had felt as I stood beside the fire pit reached me.

The coals crunched under my feet, and I was about to step off the pit, already at the other end. I did it! I had actually walked on 1800 degree coals, and my feet were intact—not even a blister. At that moment, as I thought about my feet, for an instant I felt the heat and almost panicked. The people at the end of the pit took my hands and said, "Your feet are fine." I repeated it over and over. And they were fine, not even a little bit red from the heat.

Now everyone was cheering for me! I knew I was about to begin rethinking reality. There was no other choice. It was that one moment in time.

New Paradigm Chakra Shift

Be the New Paradigm 

(If you received my newsletter already, scroll to the bottom of this post for a Chakra Exercise that was not included in the newsletter.)
Happy 2012. I told all of you that I would only be writing newsletters when I felt an important subject was up for review and that I could offer helpful advice on moving elegantly through the shift this year. This is the first of those newsletters. I hope you like it and that it is helpful for you. Please let me know how the shift is going for you. I love being a part of your manifesting.

New Paradigm Chakra Exercise:
I receive loads of blogs and newsletters from other spiritual writers, and I have identified an aspect of spiritual practice that is limiting how much power we can claim. It involves an exercise that I have participated in for years, and it’s a good one for making an initial shift, but it’s rapidly becoming outdated.

When we do a chakra balancing and energizing, we usually open the crown chakra and bring energy down through each chakra, or we open the bottoms of our feet and pull energy up through our chakras. Both work, and both are useful, and here’s the new key: this exercise still assumes that the energy is outside of us, that it comes from somewhere else and we have to draw it into us. If we are expressions of the god energy, then finding that energy within and radiating it may be the highest expression of our god self. Nothing needs to be added to us to make us whole. We only need to find the oneness that is our true nature and be what we already are.

This is not a new idea. I’ve heard it before from other people, occasionally, but those same people often use these same separationist exercises, like I did. Unaware that they are perpetuating a myth of separation, they set up an internal conflict that keeps them locked in an old paradigm.

Also, we usually think of chakras as balls of energy spinning in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, depending on their polarity. In this new age, we are releasing the need to have a polarized reality. That’s why we see so many polarizations surfacing these days for us to recognize how much it does not serve us to polarize issues and people. Focusing on the good of the whole is the new paradigm.

I was shown chakras that are like gyroscopes, with a clockwise and counterclockwise spin that, together, generate energy. It resembles how we illustrate nuclear power. Our bodies become perpetual motion machines, constantly recharging our energy, and making more as needed to share with others. The new paradigm model is like mother’s milk, the more the infant nurses, the more milk is generated to fill the need. This also applies to sharing love and good will with others. The more we share, the more we generate love and good will.
All the workable systems in the new age will work on the mother’s milk principle, thereby eliminating lack if we embrace the Aquarian model of the water bearer who has a pitcher that never empties. I know to many this sounds like a pollyanna philosophy without a basis in reality. I’ve been shown several new systems that function this way, including a ‘new’ water system that is now being unveiled. Watch for more on that coming soon all over the internet. We have everything we need to solve all the challenges we humans have created if we give up our separationist fear-based philosophies and embrace our universal abundance.

You can begin to embrace this philosophy by connecting with your inner power and radiate outward into the world a wave of love and abundance everywhere it flows. Let the flood gates of love be open and flowing to erase the illusion that prevents the manifestation of our highest and best reality. A reality in which all can thrive, not just survive. You can recognize that your nuclear chakras are already generating everything you need to step into this new reality. The choices have been made by our collective consciousness.

It’s time to begin living your new reality. It’s time to be who you truly are - who you came here at this very time to be. Who are you?

Gyroscope Chakra Exercise

Rethink how you clear them. Go inside into your heart center and radiate out from your godself into each chakra envisioned as a gyroscope that has a rotating clockwise and counterclockwise energy, and use only white light and not the individual chakra colors to raise the energy and transmute old energy. Then radiate love to the various chakra correspondences - like root chakra - radiate peace to the world and to all its people and systems. 2nd chakra (naval), radiate love to create sacred relationships. 3rd chakra (solar plexus) - radiate clear thinking and decision making. 4th chakra (heart) - radiate unconditional love throughout the universe. 5th chakra (throat) - radiate clear communication. 6th chakra (brow) - radiate clear vision for a new world. 7th chakra (crown) - radiate divine connection with the entire universe and clarity of divine connections. Then see your entire energy system as a gyroscope with you as the middle pillar. This is your Merkabah, spiritual energy body, activate the spins.

Working with the chakras affects every aspect of your life on many different levels. As you activate your gyrosocpic energy, invoke divine thought, divine speech, divine action. This will raise your vibration to new levels and clear any resistances and old patterns.

Wow, can you believe it, a newsletter from me? I've been kind of incommunicado lately since leaving the Albuquerque NM area and returning to Houston.

1.  My update on what I've been doing.
2.  Solar activity and ascension symptoms.
3.  Encouragement

1.  My update: I headed back to Houston in July for a great live-in shamanic marketing project, a beautiful 5-bedroom house, high speed internet, great air conditioning and an organic garden in the back yard. I was scheduled to do the website and marketing for the foremost authority on palm trees and help him develop his speaker circuit activities. Sounded great. I'd be staying at his beautiful home and working closely to help him make this transition. Well, as Spirit loves to chane our plans, his house sold the day I left Albuquerque, and he agreed to move out quickly for some extra dollars. The sale of the house also changed his ideas about what to do next with his business, so, long story short, no project. After spending a couple of months in the desert with no AC, I was so looking forward to some comfort and a little luxury R&R.
Sooo, I said to myself, what am I doing back in Houston in the middle of the hottest summer on record with no apparent plans?? All silent on the guide front. Yoo hoo, anybody listening? I moved into my youngest son's apartment that he shares with my friend Laura and have been spending my days writing and trying to figure out what's next for me. Nothing in Houston is compelling me to stay here. And, I'd love for my guides to send me here in November instead of July for once. But, that's part of the adventure of living the spiritual life and following my guidance. Not like it's never happened before. Usually a change of plans means a  big adventure that unfolds as I yield to the energy. Good news is my skin is amazingly rehydrated after being dehydrated in New Mexico. Even if Houston is not getting a lot of rain, it is still humid from the gulf coast an hour away.

Before I left New Mexico, I connected with Dr. Bera who is a naturopath who is creating an amazing healing retreat center in the Zuni Mountains. She really wanted me to come there, but was in the middle of remodeling, so it wasn't opportune for me to go directly there when my time in Albuquerque ended. However, we've been chatting since I arrived in Houston, and we are making plans for me to go there at the beginning of October. I do feel the energy stream in that direction. She really needs my mad marketing skills, and I need a place to write. Seems like a good fit. And another bonus, my son wants to go and work on the project as well. Perhaps I just came down here to rev him up to go back to the moutains. I'll be redoing this website, but here's some info for those who want to connect: http://bastis.org/.

2. Ascension symptoms and solar flares: All this year, solar flare activity has amped up and we have had some almost direct hits. When the solar flare energy hits our geomagnetic grid, it causes sattelite interference which can affect our communications and satellite TV, computers, etc.
In addition, our personal energy grid is being upgraded and if you're not aligned with the upgrade, some symptoms are occuring. Vision: flashes of light in the peripheral vision indicating an expansion of our multidimensional vision. This can be accompanied by active dreaming, sometimes scary if there is unprocessed fear lingering. The solar energy is burning off detritus. Headaches: as the brain gets adjusted, some people are experiencing headaches. Also stomach upsets are prevalent. I posted these symptoms on my Facebook page and was amazed at how many people were experiencing the same things. My good friend Claire Papin's new meditation to integrate this energy: http://lightedpaths.org/ (top of the home page).

3. Encouragement: If you feel that you already have a positive vision of your new life and it hasn't landed yet, don't despair, the energy that is breaking down old systems is freeing up energy for us to use to create our new lives. Stay the course, keep seeing what you truly want and keep funding it with love, joy and positive images. Keep doing the things that amp up your passion, make you come alive and fill you with happiness. There's a lot of stop and start as new ideas manifest or almost manifest. My happiness blog offers music, meditations and thoughts on joy to keep me and my friends focused on more happiness, so feel free to sign up to receive them as I post them.
