The Power to Write

Just a little trip down memory lane on my
spiritual writing journey.

The Power to Write

By Sandy Penny . Oct. 2013

It was the spring of 1963. John F. Kennedy had just been shot in November. The country was still reeling from the shock of the youngest and most beloved president in our lifetime being snuffed out before he could really make his mark on the government. His patriotic words still rang in our hearts and minds, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”

I was in the eighth grade, my last year in elementary school. That was before they had a middle school. Finally, we were kings of the hill, the pinacle of childhood power before we become the babies again in high school. It was kind of symbolic that our class took a field trip to the Illinois Power Company to see how electricity is generated, how we get the power that lights up our lives.

I found it interesting to see the piles of coal waiting to be shoveled into monstrous furnaces. I’m not sure I still remember the whole process now, but it was definitely a better way to spend the day than sitting in class in the springtime. Having a natural talent for writing, I was thrilled that there would be an essay contest to see who could best recount the power generating process after the field trip. I paid special attention and made notes along the way. I took my writing seriously even then.

Our teachers would choose the best in the class and give out a $25 gift certificate for a local bookstore as the prize. The winners from all the eighth grade classes in the the county schools would compete for other prizes. The county winners would compete in a statewide contest for shares of Illinois Power Company stock, two shares worth about $100, a lot of money in my neighborhood. I had no real hope of winning, so I just wrote what I remembered from the trip.

In those days, I was not confident in my writing abilities, but I won the class prize, and my essay went on to the county contest. I was told it would take a while before all the judging occurred, and that the winner would be notified later. The school year ended, and I completely forgot about the contest. You know how kids are, their minds are only on what’s happening in the moment.

One day in the late summer, I was babysitting for my nephews when a man in a suit knocked on the door. He asked if I was Sandra DuBoise, and I said I was. I couldn’t imagine what a man in suit wanted with me. I stepped out on the porch, not wanting to invite a stranger into the house when no adults were home. He shook my hand, treating me like an adult, and said, “Do you remember entering the essay writing contest for the Illinois Power Company?” I said I did, and he said, “You won.” I said, “Yes, I know, I got a $25 gift certificate.” “No,” he said, “You won the county and the statewide contests. For the county prize, you get a lamp, a dictionary and a Thesaurus, and for the state contest, you get two shares of Illinois Power Company Stock. How does it feel to be a shareholder in the power company.”

That didn’t mean much to me as a young teenager, except that if I sold it, it was worth about $100, and if I kept it, it could be worth more money in the future. Living in the projects, no one talked much about investing in the stock market. Soon after that day, I dressed up in my Sunday best and put on my shoes (in the summer, we all went barefoot until school started again), and a photographer took my picture with my lamp and dictionary for the local newspaper. They interviewed me, and I have no idea what I said. I was a little bit of a celebrity for a minute or two, but life went on.

I graduated from high school with honors and received a scholarship to MacMurray, then a women’s college in Jacksonville, Illinois. I was number nine of 10 children, and the first one to get to college. What they didn’t mention about scholarships back then was that they don’t pay for everything. I tried to get a job in the little town, but all the jobs seemed to be taken by those who had been there the year before. I struggled with the financial piece, and was getting more and more depressed. The student counselor told me about loans to help with that, so I took out a loan because I just could not ask my family for money. They just didn’t have it. I had always worked for what I wanted since I was old enough to do odd jobs for people. I babysat, ironed clothes for neighbors, collected soda bottles for the two cent deposit and eventually worked in the city library, my favorite job. I didn’t like the idea of borrowing money either.

Eventually the stress of the money situation took its toll on my ability to concentrate on my studies, and I decided I should probably just leave school, get a job and start earning a living for myself. I didn’t know how that would happen. I didn’t even have enough money to get back home. I really didn’t want to go back home either, but believing in a benevolent God, I prayed for help to resolve the situation.
A few days later, I got a letter from my mother. That was unusual. She didn’t write often. In the letter was the stock certificate for the two shares of Illinois Power Company Stock. She wrote simply, “I thought you might need this right now.” My mother had always had a sixth sense about her children and seemed to know exactly what we needed when we needed it. She had come through for me again.

I asked someone at school how to sell the stock, and they said there was a local banker who could handle it. I went to see him, and he bought the stock for $100. I withdrew from college, bought a bus ticket to Houston, Texas, where my sister lived and began my journey with $50 in my pocket. 

I always thought it was fitting that a prize I had won for my writing paid for my ticket to the place where I would eventually create my writing life.

Update on Ascension Symptoms

I just got this newsletter today from my spiritual friend in New Mexico, Sharon Cheney, and it resonated
with my own process, so I wanted to share it with you. I hope it's helpful. I am experiencing all of these symptoms right now, and it's so easy to forget how much we are affected by the shifts and changes within that eventually are for a good purpose, but in the moment feel dissonant. Let me know how you're feeling these days and if any of this resonates with you. Hugs and encouragement for all that is.

June 2013 Knowledge Newsletter by Sharon Cheney

Dear Friends,

We are all going through a process of transformation whether we are aware of it or not. As you go through this period of change, you may experience a variety of symptoms as you adjust to the higher consciousness which was anchored onto the planet on December 2012.

Ascension Symptoms
Below are some of the changes and symptoms you may experience. If you have been experiencing any of these changes, please do not think there is something wrong with you or that you are seriously ill. Normally these symptoms do not persist more than a few weeks or may be intermittent. I speak from experience as I have experienced almost all of the symptoms described below. Should any symptoms persist for a longer time, please consult a medical professional.

Fatigue: You may experience body aches and pains as well as fatigue without cause. Your body is losing density and is going through intense restructuring. As the body goes through these changes, it requires a lot of energy to upgrade your light body with the end result being that you will be freed of dis-ease, aging, and limitations.

Intuition: Your intuition will increase as your DNA changes from carbon to silicon based. Think of a silicon chip in your computer and how much information can be stored on it. With silicon based DNA you will be able to remember what is on your soul record and access other information from the higher realms. This is occurring because of the higher frequency energy on the planet. Higher energy is the equivalent of more information and leads to more intuitive insights.

Heart Centered: You may feel more heart centered, compassionate and creative as you open to greater cosmic consciousness because the pineal and pituitary glands are opening fully to function as they were designed to do. Being heart centered is also a sign of fifth dimensional consciousness where we feel one with all that exists.

Sensitivities: There will be an increase in your sensitivities. You may become sensitive to things that never bothered you in the past like smoke, smells, negative people or places, noise, foods, violence, etc. You can be easily overwhelmed and overstimulated. You may have an intolerance for lower vibration energies that come up in conversations, expressed attitudes, and societal structures. This occurs because you are resonating at a higher vibration now and your energies are no longer in alignment.

If you are seeing or hearing things, it is because you are experiencing different dimensions. This will occur depending on how sensitive you are. It is also a reflection of your level of soul evolution. More evolved souls have access to the higher dimensional information so you are not being singled out to experience weird things.

Polarization: You may have noticed that you are no longer comfortable in the company of people you have known for some time. You may feel a need to withdraw or take a step back from some family members or friends as you are evolving more quickly than they are, causing a disparity in vibration between your energy and theirs. You may feel drawn to new people who are more compatible with the new you or you may prefer to be alone.

Trust:  As challenges arise in your life, you will be asked to move forward with trust instead of fear. I know this is easy to say and hard to do especially when we do not know what the future will look like. We are living in a time where the past is over and we are creating a new way of being and living. Our future will not look like our past and we must be willing to go through this transition period with trust that everything will be okay until we are fully anchored into the new future that awaits us.

Sadness: You may experience emotional ups and downs, weeping or a deep inner sadness for no apparent reason as you release and transmute past experiences. You may also feel a need to cry for no apparent reason. This is a healthy way to release pent-up old emotions that have been locked in the cells of your body for a long time. Just allow yourself to cry and let go instead of question why.

Anxiety and panic: You may experience fear and anxiety as you let go of behaviour patterns that you developed for survival in third dimension. These behaviors are no longer needed in the higher realms. This can be confusing and make you feel vulnerable and powerless. If you feel like you are going insane or must be developing a mental illness of some sort, this will pass. You are rapidly experiencing several dimensions at once and are just not used to it.

Changes:  You may feel a need for a sudden change of job or career, to move or have a new relationship. The outer world is a reflection of our inner world. As you change internally, your life circumstances may no longer reflect the new you. Don't worry if these new desires do not manifest immediately. They will when the timing is right.

Your plans may suddenly change in mid-stream and go in a completely different direction. While this may seem strange to you, it is best to listen to what feels right to you within rather than doing what you have always done. Your soul knows best what is good for you and is guiding you to place. Finding peace and trusting everything will be okay as you go through these changes is the real challenge.

Sleep Patterns: You may have new sleep patterns where you awaken during the night, require less sleep or have periods of deep sleep. The body's need for rest can be acquired through meditative practices or with a lessor amount than previously required. There are a lot of change going on in your body and energy fields. If you cannot get back to sleep, get up and do something productive rather than lying in bed worrying.

Eating Patterns: As your body adjusts to this higher state of existence, you may require little to no sustenance, although always drink a lot of water. There may be a need to eat often, experience attacks of low blood sugar and a craving for protein. There can be weight gain, especially in the abdominal area with an inability to lose weight no matter what you do. Your body requires an enormous amount of fuel for this ascension process so trust that your body knows what it is doing.

Loneliness:  You may experience feelings of loneliness, even while in the company of others. You may feel alone, removed from others, and will not want to be in groups of people. Your feelings of aloneness may cause you to feel anxious and lead to difficulty relating to others. It may be difficult to explain why you feel as you do and others may have difficulty relating to you or understanding what you are going through unless they are experiencing something similar. [SP note: On the flip side of this, you may also feel like you can't handle being around others in the same ways you did in the past.]

Dreams: Intense dreams may occur which can include vivid dreams of violence, chases or scary situations as you release old lower vibrational energy from past lives and experiences of which you are unaware. Even if these dreams are unpleasant, they are beneficial. Night sweats and hot flashes may also occur as your body burns off the residue.

Disorientation: You may feel physically disoriented, ungrounded or spatially challenged as if you are walking between two worlds during this adjustment period. If may be difficult to remember where you were going and what you came into a room to get. There may be a feeling of loss of identity like not knowing who you are any longer and a loss of a sense of place in the world. This disorientation is occurring because as your consciousness transitions to the new energy, your body lags behind. It is a good idea to spend more time in nature to help you ground these new energies.

Out of Body Experience: You may at times feel out of your body, as though someone is talking, but it is not you. This is a natural defense mechanism when we are under acute stress, feeling traumatized or out of control. Your body is going through a lot and you may not want to be in it. This is a way of easing the transition process so that you do not need to experience what your body is going through.

Loss of Identity: You may experience a loss of identity as you try to access the old you which is no longer there. You may not know who you are looking at in the mirror. You have cleared much of your old patterns and are now embodying much more light and a more purified divine you. You may notice yourself talking to yourself more as a new level of communication takes place within. The conversations will become more fluid, coherent and insightful with time. You are not going crazy, just communicating with your guidance and Higher Self.
You may short term memory loss and only vague remembrances of your past. You are living in more than one dimension at a time. Sometimes in going back and forth, you may experience a disconnection.

Life Purpose: You may have a strong desire to know your life purpose and how you can fulfill it. Your life purpose is the sharing of accumulated gifts and knowledge acquired in previous lives and can be a need to help, heal, bring joy, teach just to name a few. You can recognize your life purpose because it will always make you feel good and you can do it easily.

Loss of Passion: You may feel totally dis-impassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. Take this time to do nothing and don't fight yourself on this. Your body knows what it needs. It's similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software or in this case, the new Christ-seed energy.
The new energy supports the feminine mode of basking, receiving, creating, self-care and nurturing. Get in the habit of asking the Universe to manifest what you want while you are enjoy yourself and having fun.

A Desire to Go Home: This is a feeling of not wanting to be here any longer or having an overwhelming desire to return Home. This is not suicidal urges based on anger or frustration. It comes from remembering who you truly are and wanting to be your true Self. This feeling can be especially strong for highly evolved souls and people who have off planet origins, as many souls came to the planet Earth from other star systems. While you can leave your body if you wish, you are really needed here to help with the planet's transition to fifth dimension. This is why you choose to incarnate at this time - to be a teacher and a way shower for others.

The Crystal Necklace

The Crystal Necklace

by Sandy Penny

A little reminiscence from my New Zealand Journey of the Rainbow

Before I left for New Zealand in 1993, my old friend Margaret gave me a chakra necklace as a traveling gift. Chakras are the energy centers in the body, and this necklace was a quartz crystal pendant with seven stones representing the seven chakras (see photo). The stones went from bottom to top, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. I wore the necklace all the time to stay in connection with my friend and to balance the energy of my chakras. It was one of my prized possessions. I seldom wore jewelry, but when I did, it was always a powerful symbol for me. I wore this one all the time.

I had been living at and doing readings at the Crystal Web shop at Takapuna Village for a few weeks. My little apartment was one room and did not have air conditioning. That wasn't unusual in Aukland, but this was a particularly hot, dry summer. I opened the door to allow the air to circulate better, and took a nap on the couch. I was just about to fall asleep when I felt a presence in the room. I startled awake and found a man standing at my doorway looking into the room. I wasn't sure what to do, and didn't know if I was safe, so I asked Spirit if everything was OK. I was told, that yes, everything was fine, but I still felt a little unsure, so I got up and walked to the door and asked if I could help the raggedy dirty man who was silently standing there.

He looked at his feet and  shook his head side to side but did not say anything. I asked if he'd like a cup of tea, and he mumbled that he would. I plugged in the electric kettle and prepared the cups and made a simple black tea and offered honey, which was all I had at the moment. He shook his head yes, and I poured the hot water onto the tea bags, added the wonderful New Zealand Manuka honey that I had been gifted by the Maori Tohunga, medicine man. Thinking he might be hungry, I cut up an apple I had bought from the open produce market downstairs.

I took the cups and the apple slices outside, and we sat on the stairs. The man was obviously in some sort of distress, but he was very difficult to understand as he continually looked down and mumbled his words so badly that I could barely make out what he was saying. I patiently asked him some questions and gathered that he had just been released from jail, that he had addiction problems, and that most of all, he was very sad that his wife would not let him see his baby daughter unless he got clean and sober and got a job and began paying child support.

He was in deep distress, and I wasn't sure how to help him, but I asked Spirit for guidance on what to do. I felt that I should offer to do an energy healing, and so I did. I had him sit in a chair, and I aligned myself with the highest and best good for all concerned. I was inspired to take the necklace off and put it on him while I did the healing. I explained that it would help balance his energy and he seemed happy to allow it. I worked on him for about half an hour, sending energy through my hands to every area of his body that drew my attention. It was intense. When I was finished with the healing, I felt the need to offer that he continue to wear the necklace until he was healed, and that he could bring it back to me when all was well.

I felt sad because once again Spirit was asking me to release something that was important to me. I did not think I would ever see the necklace again, as this man was not likely to be healed anytime soon. But, that was the way of Spirit with me at the time. Material things were secondary to people. My work, my life was with people. And, so I opened my heart and released the necklace to its highest and best purpose, the purpose of healing and balancing this broken man.

About a  month later, I had moved away from the Crystal Web, and now lived several miles away at my new friend Maurice's house. The phone rang, and Maurice handed it to me, saying it was Jane from the Crystal Web. I hadn't spoke with her in a couple of weeks, so I was happy for the call. She asked if there was any way I could come to the shop right then. She said it was important, but didn't want to tell me about it unless I was there in person. I asked Maurice if he could drive me there, and always happy to visit the crystals which were his passion, he agreed.

When we arrived at the shop and exchanged hugs, I asked Jane what was so urgent. She pointed out a young man across the store and asked if I knew who he was. I said that I didn't remember ever seeing him before, and she took me over to introduce me. He was clean-shaven, well dressed and introduced himself as Mark. He looked somehow familiar, but I wasn't sure why. He put his hand into his pocket and pulled out my crystal chakra necklace. "How did you get this?," I asked. He said, "You gave it to me to wear until I was healed. When you did a healing on me."

A light of recognition came over me, and I realized that this was the raggedy man I had worked on that day. I couldn't believe it. He was speaking in strong confident words. He looked me directly in the eyes, and he stood straight and tall. He was a completely different man, and yet, I could see he was telling the truth.

He told me that after that healing, that he had gone to a shelter that had a rehab program, and that he had gotten clean and sober, and had found a job. He was working regularly, and that best of wall, he now had visitation rights for his daughter. He and his wife did not get back together, but the important thing for him was his daughter. It was truly miraculous. A thrill went through my whole body. We don't often get to see the results of our spiritual work.

He handed me the necklace, and thanked me for that day. He said it changed his life, that no one would even try to listen to him before that. Everyone had given up on him, even his family. He knew it was hard for me and that I felt afraid when he showed up, but the fact that I helped him anyway made all the difference for him. I tried to get him to keep the necklace, but he said, "No, our deal was that I would return it when I was healed, and I know that I am healed." I put the necklace on and hugged him and thanked him for returning it. It was a good day in world of healing.

[Personal note about crystals: I have used crystals in healing and other spiritual work, and at the same time, no tools are really needed other than one's personal higher self connection. However, crystals, as with all forms of manifestation, have a purpose on this earth, and by connecting with that purpose and using them as tools for that purpose, we honor and advance these beings that so generously serve us by their very existence. If you are drawn to a particular crystal for a particular purpose, know that it is communicating with you and has chosen you to help fulfill its mission.]

Rock the Love

Rock the Love . 11-20-2012 . 2:20 am

Channeled by Sandy Penny

I was awakened at 2:20 am and asked to get up and write this information down for the coming shift. It was the first night in months that I had gone to bed at a normal time, around 10 pm instead of 4 am. I awoke thinking of my move to my new apartment, and it was difficult to settle my mind down enough to listen to a transmission.

The transmission: I need you to pay attention. That means I need you to pay attention to everything that is happening around you these days, the good and the bad. There are important energy patterns reflecting in the world from the causal plane that are rippling out and creating the new earth energy. The crystals are now at their peak resonance and massive amounts of old programming is being released for transformation. You and all light workers can help, all people with good intentions, all those who want positive changes.

Those of you who are energy transformers, and you know who you are, are now ready to begin processing this energy through your channels into the open group consciousness now.

You may find your head or other parts of your body itching these days. That means old body memories are being released. The act of massaging or gently scratching or brushing your scalp or skin will bring those energies up to the surface so you can consciously transmute and transmit them into the group consciousness.

elephants2 love

The energy known as the remover of obstacles, Ganesh, or other images will be showing up everywhere. You may have noticed all the photos of elephants being shared on the internet. That is one of the symbols for this transmutation energy and by focusing on it you will activate that aspect of yourself that is in alignment with the transmuting process.

You are being given a gift, a gift of release from old ideas, old passions that do not serve you, fears, and false human concerns of the physical realm. Open up to this process and allow it to flow through you, and you will be cleansed emotionally, physically, and mentally and inspired with a wave of new thoughts, love, and joy, emanating from within your core. Already encoded in your DNA is everything needed for this time period. 

To facilitate this process, drink lots of water, but before drinking it, hold the container in both hands near your heart and breathe love into it with every breath you take. It only takes a few seconds to infuse your food and water with love before drinking or eating, and this will transmute external energies that affect your body, mind, and emotions. Just gently rock and say I love you.

You may also hold your hands, one over your heart and the other over that hand, and repeat I love you as you gently rock back and forth to repattern birth programming from old family karma.

If you choose it, you can release so much programming that has run its course through this process of loving it into the shape of your highest expression. As the ego protests the love, just hold it steady and continue to emanate love, understanding that this can be a frightening process for the ego. Change does not always come easily to the ego, and it must feel safe to let go of the old ways and embrace the newborn programming.

Make "I love you" your mantra as you go through your day. When something bothers you, instead of getting caught up in the struggle, return to your mantra, "I love you." It will transmute many situations from conflict into a crisis of love. All will be resolved.

We can transform the world systems through this love now. Where there is love, law becomes unnecessary because love is the ultimate law of source.

Water is very important right now, drink it, shower in it, soak in it, and all the while, infuse the crystalline structures with love. Every drop of water that contains love transmits that love through other water and nurtures a loving life force in all people whose bodies are made up of mostly water.

If you have crystals, you may be drawn to cleanse them, clear them, and display them right now. This is no accident. These living structures can amplify love if you direct them, interact with them, and love them. As you look at the crystals you love, imagine all the crystals within this earth, large and small receiving the new programming through love. From the point of love within the heart of you, let love stream forth through all creation, let the plan of love and light shine through.

New technologies for the good of the whole are being inspired through love now. The frequency of love is increasing. It is pulsing, radiating, birthing a new human. As you hold your hands over your heart, rocking gently saying "I love you." Let friends and relatives come to mind, and continue to say I love you as their images pass in front of you, whether they are alive or dead, and whether you have had issues that need transforming. Continues to rock the love. 

For artists, as you look at a blank canvas, just begin repeating I love you, and allow your inspiration to come from love and this art will carry the love frequency into the world. Same for musicians. Love is being transmitted through all creative endeavors now.

The time of transcendence is here. Rise to the occasion, and you will be transformed by your own acts of love. Look for this frequency to lead your actions. When your inner frequency of love responds to those who are emanating their own frequency of love, those are your companions at this time. This is the evolution. Peace, love, and joy. Time to celebrate the love that you are.

all obstacles are removed

Solar Angels and Heart Energy


Solar Angels Bring Heart Energy

On September 4, 2012, I got up from my computer to get a drink of water. When I returned, I found this image displayed full size on my desktop. I had not seen the image before. It was from SpaceWeather.com, but I had not been to that site for a while.

When I checked into it, I found a whole host of angelic looking aurora photos taken between Sept. 2-4 as a result of the massive CME Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun on Aug. 31. I created a slide show of them.

I asked my guides, and they gave me some explanation. That night, I could see these auroras in my field of vision when I closed my eyes. I awoke with the name of a blog in my mind, HeartWarp. I looked it up, and it was not being used, so I created a blog about this experience. Here's the link to the full story and below is the video of the many aurora photos I found along with channeled information about what is happening in the 5th dimensional transition.

It is meant to inspire and reveal how these multidimensional realities work. By meditating on this photo, you will receive a 5th dimensional download, and 5th dimensional training is available at night in dreamtime if you attune to it before going to sleep. Enjoy.

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.


Water Splitting: Hope for our Energy Future.

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.
