Cosmic Calendar Aug 27
Posted by: "LadyHawk_Jax" ladyhawk_jax@yahoo.com ladyhawk_jax
Sat Aug 27, 2011 5:34 am (PDT)
As mentioned in yesterday's calendar entry, Mercury is no longer retrograde, but it isn't a speed demon yet either. Any rush to sign contracts and legal papers may be foolish. This is especially the case since the Sun in Virgo makes an off-kilter, 150-degree tie to lightning-bringer and radical-change agent Uranus (12:25AM PDT). Think of Uranus as a maverick, eccentric force - even a joker in the deck or a jack-in-the-box ready to pop out in startling fashion when you least expect it.
There are some encouraging alignments taking place as the Moon parallels optimistic Jupiter (4:27AM PDT), reasonable Mercury (6:12AM PDT) and friendly Venus (10:20PM PDT). Plus - communication lines are trying to repair themselves and reopen as the Moon makes its monthly union with Mercury in Leo (4:50PM PDT). Even a subtle, 30-degree alliance between Pallas in Capricorn and Neptune in Aquarius (8:43PM PDT) can be an asset if you enjoy needlepoint, weaving, arts and crafts, playing c hess, backgammon, card or word games.
However, feminine affairs are somewhat askew and safety concerns are rising in tandem with the arrival of an off-kilter, 150-degree contact between Venus in Virgo and Vesta in Aquarius (10:12PM PDT). Don't allow irritability, self-criticism or petty annoyances to send you to the back of the etiquette class. In addition, keep a reasonable distance from business wheeling-and-dealing as well as investment strategies while Venus and Vesta create psychic tension.
Love, Light and Abundant Blessings,
LadyHawk

Subject: [BULK] As millions evacuate, who helps the animals?
We stand ready to help animals in Irene's path.
Trouble with images and formatting? View this message as a Web page.
Dear Sibyl,
RedRover Responders volunteer Lynn Frishmann comforts a dog separated from his family by flooding in North Dakota this summer.
Hurricane Irene is forcing millions of people up and down the East Coast to flee their homes. But what about the animals? Who will care for them when the wind tears down trees and knocks out windows, when the rain floods the streets?
RedRover will. Right now hundreds of trained RedRover Responders volunteers stand ready, bags packed, to deploy to New York or wherever they are needed to help the animals uprooted by this massive storm, the largest the Northeast has seen in more than 70 years.
Please donate to our Emergency Relief Fund now to make sure we can help the innocent victims of Hurricane Irene and other natural catastrophes -- the animals.
Your donation ensures that we can deploy our highly trained volunteers to disaster-stricken areas to feed, comfort and care for the animals forced from their homes.
And that we will never see another Hurricane Katrina, when animals were forced to fend for themselves, many of them dying alone and forgotten.
Please donate to our Emergency Relief Fund today.
You can be sure that your donation to the Emergency Relief Fund will be well spent to care for animals -- and help the people who love them -- when natural disasters turn their lives upside down.
Thank you for your compassion for animals.
Warmly,
Nicole Forsyth
President and CEO
P.S. This isn't the first time the RedRover Responders have come to the rescue this year. Our volunteers have gone to flooded communities in North Dakota, Mississippi, Missouri and South Dakota to help feed and take care of more than 900 animals separated from their families. Volunteers flew and drove to Joplin, Missouri following a mile-wide tornado that left 700 animals stranded. Read more on our Emergency Response Journal.
P.P.S. Read and share our pet hurricane planning tips.

Daily Feng Shui tip for Saturday, August 27

Daily Feng Shui Tip by Ellen Whitehurst for Saturday, August 27
There's nothing to be sorry about on 'Global Forgiveness Day,' unless you have an outstanding riff with someone that needs to be put to bed. Forgiving both yourself and others has a worldwide and exponential ripple effect that not only lifts and raises your own vibration but does the same for the entire planet. According to author JoAnn Cornug, Archangel Fanuel, considered by ancient tradition to be the Archangel of Penance, is the angel to invoke when forgiveness is the order of the day. Clearly there's no better day to invoke his intercession than today. Cornug tells us that Fanuel hears our pleas and prayers for forgiveness and embraces them with great love and compassion. Invoke his intercession three times on this day and then join with him in revising your past mistakes while recommitting to living in truth and love, power and wisdom.

Surf's up, Irene! Thrillseekers take advantage of 30ft waves caused by monster hurricane along East Coast
Governor Chris Christie warns New Jersey surfers, 'Get the hell off the beach'
By John Stevens
Last updated at 7:28 AM on 27th August 2011
As thousands of people start to flee their homes to escape the destructive path of Irene, thrillseeking hurricane surfers have been flocking to beaches to take advantage of the supersized waves.
Hurricane swells - the waves created outside the direct area of the hurricane - are reaching up to 30 feet along the East Coast.
But as beachgoers started to enjoy the surf, New Jersey governor Chris Christie warned: 'Get the hell off the beach.'
A surfer braves the wind and waves at The Washout at Folly Beach created by Hurricane Irene Friday Aug. 26, 2011 in Folly Beach, S.C
Thrillseekers: CJ Macias rides his surf board as he takes advantage of the waves created by Hurricane Irene in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
In the air: A man is seen parachute surfing at the beach in Kill Devil Hills in the North Carolina Outerbanks on Friday ahead of the expected landfall in the area of Hurricane Irene
One of the biggest surfing competitions in the world, the 49th annual East Coast Surfing Championships, is underway on Virginia Beach, Virginia.
'The risk, the excitement factor… getting really good waves is addicting,' said hurricane surfer Shea Lopez who is competing.
'It's something that's uncommon. I couldn't be any more excited for any day of the year.'
Mr Lopez, 37, said he is monitoring the East Coast to see where to go next.
'It's our only chance as East Coast surfers to get large, powerful waves like in other places in the world,' he told ABC News.
Surf's up: People surf on Friday at Rockaway Beach in New York
Waves: A surfer takes a dip at Rockaway Beach in New York
Clear skies: People were told not to be fooled by the sunny weather
'It's exciting being around the hurricane. You can't help but get caught up in the drama.'
The competition's rounds are being rushed through so the contest is over before conditions become too dangerous.
'The primary concern is for the safety of the competitors and spectators,' Kevin Gaydosh, spokesman for the competition , told ABC News.
'There's nobody that has a healthier respect for the water than surfers.'
Ride: Leif Overturf enjoys the large surf near the Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier in Emerald Isle, North Carolina
Spray: Connor Murray near the Ocean Crest Pier in Oak Island, North Carolina
Surfing USA: Ed Rolen, 40, of Panama City Beach, takes advantage of high winds and surf from the effects of Hurricane Irene at Cocoa Beach, Florida
Waiting game: Beach goers watch the surf near a beachside fishing pier a day before the expected landfall of Hurricane Irene in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina

Nature's Giant Foam Bubble
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Sat Aug 27, 2011 2:03 pm (PDT)
NATURE'S GIANT FOAM BUBBLE
YAMBA, NEW SOUTH WALES, SYDNEY
FOAM STORY
DINESH VORAY
Suddenly the shoreline north of Sydney was transformed into the Cappuccino Coast.
Foam swallowed an entire beach and half the nearby buildings, including the local lifeguards' center, in a freak display of nature at Yamba in New South Wales. One minute a group of teenage surfers were waiting to catch a wave, the next they were swallowed up in a giant bubble bath.
The foam was so light that they could puff it out of their hands and watch it float away.
Boy in the bubble bath: Tom Woods, 12, emerges from the clouds of foam after deciding that surfing was not an option. It stretched for 30 miles out into the Pacific in a phenomenon not seen at the beach for more than three decades. Scientists explain that the foam is created by impurities in the ocean, such as salts, chemicals, dead plants, decomposed fish and excretions from seaweed. All are churned up together by powerful currents which cause the water to form bubbles. These bubbles stick to each other as they are carried below the surface by the current towards the shore.
As a wave starts to form on the surface, the motion of the water causes the bubbles to swirl upwards and, massed together, they become foam.
The foam 'surfs' towards shore until the wave 'crashes', tossing the foam into the air.
Whitewash: The foam was so thick it came all the way up to the surf club. 'It's the same effect you get when you whip up a milk shake in a blender,' explains a marine expert. 'The more powerful the swirl, the more foam you create on the surface, and the lighter it becomes.' In this case, storms off the New South Wales Coast and further north off Queensland had created a huge disturbance in the ocean, hitting a stretch of water where there was a particularly high amount of the substances which form into bubbles. As for 12-year-old beachgoer Tom Woods, who has been surfing since he was two, riding a wave was out of the question. 'Me and my mates just spent the afternoon leaping about in that stuff,' he said. 'It was quite cool to touch and it was really weird. It was like clouds of air - you could hardly feel it.'
Children play among all the foam which was been whipped up by cyclonic conditions.

Elder's Meditation of the Day
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Sat Aug 27, 2011 2:13 pm (PDT)
Elder's Meditation of the Day - August 27
"We begin by letting the Powers know that we are willing to be their servants to others."
-- Fools Crow, LAKOTA
There are certain prayers or actions we can take that will call the Powers. The Powers can only work through the people. The Powers are always waiting to express themselves through people that are ready. Every person born is born with a purpose. They have a song to sing. They have a mission to accomplish. Every true purpose will always be about serving the Creator and helping others. When we let the Powers know that we are ready to serve the people, the Powers get excited because they can now do things to help the people and make things better for them. The decision is powerful because it turns an idea into action.
Great Spirit, the greatest joy or feeling that I have ever experienced is when you are using me to help the people, the feeling of giving, the feeling of being your channel. Today, let me have that feeling of giving. Use me as You will.

Elder's Meditation of the Day
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Sat Aug 27, 2011 8:28 pm (PDT)
Elder's Meditation of the Day
"When life is too good, we think too highly of ourselves and our blessings. Then we decide we are the wisest and the favored ones, and we don't think we need Wakan-Tanka and the Helpers anymore."
-- Fools Crow, LAKOTA
It is sometimes easy to get off track when times are good. We start to take the credit and start to think we are in control. We start to think we are smart. Then we quit praying or pray only with lip service. We say the words but don't mean them. Sometimes our head is our greatest enemy. We start acting like a foolish child. We must develop the discipline to be humble during the good times. We need to remember how honorable it is each day to come into the presence of the Creator. How happy we should be to talk to the Grandfathers, to have the choice to start each day on the Sacred Spot - our place of communion with the Great Spirit.
Oh Great Spirit, first let me thank You for the honor of talking to You today. To have the insight of Your love, that only You can love me when I don't deserve to be loved. Let me be reminded to talk to You all day long.

Scale of the Universe
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Sat Aug 27, 2011 8:27 pm (PDT)
Scale of the Universe - Be Amazed!
Everyone knows the universe is huge, but most people don't understand how huge it really is. This article will try to show the amazingly massive scale of the universe to you. It surely is a very humbling experience!
Earth - Our Home
This is our Home. All of us live, love, wage wars, spend our entire lifetimes here.
Earth compared to smaller Planets in our Solar System
Earth compared to larger Planets in our Solar System
Compared to our Sun
Our Sun compared to other Stars
Our Sun is just a tiny speck compared to other stars!
Hard to even make out in the picture with the Sun just 1 pixel wide. Jupiter becomes invisible at this scale.
Milky Way - Our Galaxy
There are 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way.
The stellar disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter, and is considered to be, on average, about 1,000 ly thick.
Our Milky Way galaxy is small compared to other galaxies. Our neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy has over one trillion stars!
The Observable Universe
This is a Hubble Ultra Deep Field image of a small region of the observable universe (equivalent sky area size shown in bottom left corner).
Each spot is a galaxy, consisting of billions of stars.
There are more than 170 billion galaxies in the observable universe.
Be Amazed!

Moonscopes for Week of Aug. 28 to Sept. 3
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Sat Aug 27, 2011 8:27 pm (PDT)
This Week's Moonscopes Forecast
For the week of Aug. 28 to Sept. 3
(Missed last week's forecast? Here it is.)
Sunday am: the Moon is in Leo
Lay back and enjoy - be lazy and indulgent this morning. There's a New Moon coming up and the time right before such an event always calls for some rest.
Sunday pm(New Moon), Monday(*v/c-evening), Tuesday am(v/c): the Moon is in Virgo
A Moon in Virgo is a good time to clean up your act (just kidding - maybe not) or at least your house. Anyway, this sign like to keep things in order and to keep them cleared out except for what is really necessary. Cleanliness and orderliness are two buzzwords for Virgo. And since we are having a nice pristine New Moon late on Sunday, that is joined by the charming planet Venus in the same sign, this kind of energy can provide a fresh, renewed start in the area of your life which is ruled by the section of your chart that contains Virgo. Ok, that's all a big mouthful but don't become anxious or worried about whether you are trying hard enough, just aim for a level of improvement. Virgo likes little baby steps.
Tuesday pm, Wednesday, Thursday am: the Moon is in Libra
Close personal relationships always deserve a lot of attention when the Moon is in this sign. Juno, the marriage/partnership asteroid, is also in Libra right now and this puts even more emphasis on cooperation and harmony. (The asteroids & their current sign locations are listed below the planets' locations on this page.)
Thursday pm, Friday, Saturday(v/c-pm): the Moon is in Scorpio
The bottom line of the sign Scorpio is that it adores the bottom line and abhors anything surface-level, trivial, or superficial. Therefore, don't even bother with gossip or flirtations no matter how inviting they seem because the energy will be wasted. Keep matters on a deep & meaningful track and reserve the really cool fun times for Sunday.
Saturday evening: the Moon is in Sagittarius
Do some exploring this evening and tomorrow, whether that be by actually going out and doing it or whether that is something you do from your armchair via a book, etc. Sagittarius likes to chart new territory.
Check your astrology chart to find which house (section of your chart) has the current Moon sign on the cusp (the beginning edge) & apply Forecast information to that area of your life as well.
For example, the Moon is in Leo and one of the suggestions is to entertain - however Leo is located in the 12th house of your chart, which is an inward energy place...then have a small, quiet gathering. By contrast, if Leo is located in the 1st house of your chart, an outward energy place...have a party! Don't have an astrology chart? Click here .
It is interesting to note when the current Moon is in the same sign as your birth Moon and to see how the flavor of that day carries through the following 30 days.
Current Planet Positions:
Sun - Virgo, until Sept. 23
Mercury - Virgo, until Sept. 26
(**retrograde into Leo Aug. 2-26, and staying in Leo until Sept. 9)
Venus - Virgo, until Sept. 15
Mars - Cancer, until Sept. 19
Jupiter - Taurus, until June 12, 2012
Saturn - Libra, until Oct. 6, 2012
Uranus - Aries, until Mar. 6, 2019
(Taurus, May 16, 2018-Nov. 7, 2018)
Neptune - Aquarius, until Feb. 4, 2012
Pluto - Capricorn, until Nov. 20, 2024
Current Asteroid Positions:
Ceres - Pisces, until Jan. 20, 2012
Pallas - Aquarius, until Feb. 13, 2012
Juno - Libra, until Oct. 26
Vesta - Aquarius, until Dec. 21
Chiron - Pisces, until Apr. 22, 2018
Current Asteroid Transits:
Ceres - Harvest the core basics of spiritual beliefs or philosophies.
Pallas - A practical application of information is the best approach.
Juno - Protocol and social practices are highlighted.
Vesta - Personal desires are mixed together with personal responsibilities.
Chiron - Transcend wounds and negativity through compassion.
Note: Timeframes for Moon signs, void-of-course periods, and current planet & asteroid positions are noted for Eastern time zone (USA). Please adjust according to your own location. Times are not given if the void-of-course Moon occurs for a very short period or if it occurs during the night (based on same Eastern time zone).
* v/c = Void-of-Course - When the Moon is void-of-course, spend time working on projects already in progress, creative endeavors, or self-improvement. Void-of-course simply means that no planets are aspecting the Moon as it gets ready to change signs. It's best not to start new projects, sign important agreements, or go shopping when the Moon is void-of-course because the result will probably be unsatisfactory in some way.
** Mercury Retrograde - the speed of the planet slows down considerably. Communications, paperwork, electronics, and traffic can become very mixed-up or delayed during this time. A situation will be in the process of changing, so wait until Mercury is direct to finalize anything. In general, maintain a slower, more cautious pace in daily affairs. Always allow at least two days before (to slow down) and after (to resume regular activities) a Mercury retrograde period. Read More about Mercury Retrograde here

5 Affirmation Starters You Need to Know to Make Them Work
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99
Sat Aug 27, 2011 8:29 pm (PDT)
5 Affirmation Starters You Need To Know To Make Them Work!
"I think I can. I think I can." Those are the immortal words of the Little Engine That Could, the train locomotive from the children's story who against all odds pulled his heavy load over the mountain. Those words were his affirmation to himself that pushed him to keep trying until he finally succeeded.
That's all fine and dandy for a children's story. The real question we must ask now is, Do affirmations always work?
The answer is yes, so long as certain "criteria" have been met.
First off, what is an affirmation?
An affirmation is a carefully worded statement that aids in our ability to solidify a belief. There are hundreds -- if not thousands -- of resources available as it relates to affirmations, yet many people struggle with making them work. Thankfully, there is a reason and a solution!
An affirmation is said to be most effective when worded in the present tense. Meaning, what we say or think must reflect what is happening now rather than in the future. The reason is if we were to word an affirmation using future tense, we would continually reach for our desire rather than attaining it. This makes sense because our mind takes what we say to it quite literally and when said often enough, produces the exact results we are implying.
With that said, this poses an interesting dilemma. One's mind is extremely intelligent. You have been living for a very long time, a lifetime so far, in fact. Therefore your mind knows when you are attempting to trick it. When this happens, it can -- and often does -- retaliate.
For example, if a person's desire is to be rich, they may use an affirmation similar to this: "I am wealthy beyond my wildest dreams." This affirmation is worded in the now and sounds very motivating. What this affirmation can also produce is an internal battle between what one consciously desires versus what one truly believes one can have. Without being aware of it, the person who uses this affirmation is taking a risk of producing an increase in doubt, anxiety, frustration, and struggle.
Your mind plays the association game. It works with patterns and stores data on a continual basis. It assesses all stimuli, determines the pattern from previous information, then produces natural reactions internally. Therefore, when your conscious reality is contradictory to what you are affirming, your mind disagrees because it is associating with lack of money rather than an abundance of it.
In other words, if you were to say "I am wealthy beyond my wildest dreams" and you look in your wallet and see five dollars, your mind would think "You're full of poop!" An instant reaction of disagreement occurs. From there you have to "remind" yourself that "It is coming," which then causes you to affirm future events. That, of course, is counter-productive, since you are making your "affirmation" in the future tense.
So what can you do? You do in fact word affirmations in the present tense. You also word your affirmations in such a way that it is accepting in the mind. Using words that embrace the journey of acquiring the amazing things you desire makes it much more believable and therefore causes the mind to accept and work cooperatively with your conscious efforts.
From now on, here are the five Affirmation Starters you can use to make your affirmations work for you:
"I Am" -- Use this starter when affirming an action you are taking each day toward your goal.
"I Have" -- Use this starter when you know you have it now and wish to maintain it or expand on it.
"I Do" -- Use this starter when affirming your ability, through the actions you are taking, to create amazing results.
"I Attract" -- Use this starter when you are affirming your faith in your ability to attract great things.
"I Achieve" -- Use this starter when you are affirming the journey and the end result of a goal/desire.
Remember, if at any time you are using an affirmation and you are feeling emotions less than enthusiasm, confidence, motivation, and undeniable faith, they may be counter-productive. Assess your affirmations and make certain they work for you!
Have a fabulous day and keep smiling that gorgeous smile of yours. After all, it's contagious!

Song of the Goddess

Song of the Goddess
I am the harmonious tune of the songbird
And the laughter of a gleeful child.
I am the bubbling sound of the running brook
And the scent of the flowers wild.
I am the floating leaf upon the breeze
And the dancing fire in the forest glade.
I am the sweet smell of rains upon the soil
And the rapture of passion when love is made.
I am the germination of seed in the Spring
And the ripening of wheat in the Sun.
I am the peaceful depth of twilight
That soothes the soul when day is done.
I am found in the twinkling of an aged eye...
And found in the birth of a newborn pup....
Yes, birth and growth and Death am I
I am the gracious Earth, on whom you sup.
I am your sister, your mother, the wise one.
I wrap you gently in the warmth of my love.
That which you seek you shall find within
Not without, not below, not above.
Remember always, my children, be reverent.
Be gentle, loving and kind to each other
And hold sacred the Earth and its creatures
For I am the Lady: Creatrix and Mother!

Grounding, Centering and Shielding
Posted by: "Lady Nightshayde" LadyNightshayde9@aol.com nightshayde99

Grounding, Centering and Shielding
Protection for Energy Workers
When one embarks on spiritual work, the importance of staying grounded and centered -- and being shielded from unwanted energy -- becomes absolutely necessary.
By "this work," I mean those who are involved in Reiki, Shamanism and other energy, vibrational, alternative and complementary medicine.
When we raise our vibrational level, it's easier to "connect" with the Divine, to see our life purpose, to be guided by our inner wisdom and outside sources of inspiration, but we also become much more susceptible to being "blown away" by others with raw, unconscious energy, both by individuals who may
be focusing on negativity or in group situations.
That makes grounding, centering and shielding of utmost importance if we want to stay on the spiritual path, not be confused or become misguided or to lose our connection with the authentic self and higher guidance.
Not to be indelicate, but what I tell my clients and students is to frequently throughout the day "put your butt on a rock."
I'm a Sagittarius (with Aquarius rising!) so I have a natural tendency as a fire sign to "go off" mentally and emotionally anyway. So, I have to ground and center often. Following my own advice, I try to put my butt on a rock at minimum four times a day.
Even in intense work settings, we are allowed "breaks," so when taking a "break," find a place where there are trees and rocks or at least stone or concrete in contact with the Earth. Lean against a tree, rock or wall, making sure your base chakra (butt) is in firm contact. While doing this, take three
deep breaths, breathing in the Sun energy through your nostrils and releasing your breath (energy) consciously toward the Earth, so that your Life Force can be recycled not only physically but energetically (through intent). This completes the cycle of life, or Sacred Hoop of Life, that connects
all beings to the Earthly Mother, and it will clear you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
A word on breathing: Most of us in the West don't breathe properly. That may sound odd, but in Western medicine, the way babies are birthed provides a shock to the newborn, where oxygen is abruptly sucked into the lungs, which burns from having a life atmosphere of oxygen and nutrients provided
by the mother without pain.
Breathe deeply from the Hara.
As a result of our birthing, and later conditioning, we breathe shallowly, from the chest. We should breathe deeply from the Hara (the source of our spiritual bodies). Or, in layman's terms, we should learn to breathe from the gut. A number of modalities teach breathing, from Holotropic Breathwork to rebirthing to Drunvalo Mechizedek's Flower of Life workshops.
Grounding and breathing will get you centered. If you cannot find a rock or tree or solid wall in contact with the Earth, I tell clients and students that you can still connect with Earth energy through intent alone, by "breathing through your feet."
To do this, do as above, but stand still and quiet, taking deep breaths (Sun & Earth) but feeling the Earth energy coming up through your feet, spreading up through your body and extending out through your limbs, to finger tips. Imagine yourself as a giant tree, taking in Earth energy through your "roots" (feet) and extending out to the farthest "branches" (fingertips) and beyond, swirling through your merkaba, or energy body, through space and time into other dimensions.
Feel this Earth energy centering you and going out into all directions. Some people tell me that they love to hug trees and roll in the grass and feel the Earth energy -- and that's truly wonderful.
But you do not have to do that in order to have an essential connection with the Earth, nor do you have to be barefooted. You can wear tennis shoes, any kind of rubber-soled shoes. You can even be high in a skyscraper or flying in an airplane.
How is this possible? Easy. Earth energy is all around us; Life Force energy (Ki) is all around is. It is only our mental blocks or blinders that keep us from feeling this energy or using it in our mind/body systems.
Consider:
When you are high in a skyscraper or flying at 30,000 feet, what keeps your feet
on the floor or your butt in the seat? Gravity, right? What is gravity?
Earth energy!!!
All is energy. We can open our minds to allow integration of what we need or we can use our minds to create blocks, barriers and limits to growth. "Yes, but . . ." is probably the greatest barrier to spiritual growth. Why create a mental mountain? Don't use "buts," use your "butt!"
Planting Your Butt on a Rock
To access and use Earth energy wherever you may be, you have only to focus your being on bringing that energy into your mind/body system, through breathing and intent, as described above. Imagine a tendril or thread going from your base chakra going deep into the Earth, connecting you, anchoring you. The reason I tell people to "put your butt on a rock" is not so much because rocks are essential, but because it's a physical activity that people can understand -- even me.
If I get in the habit, which I do, of putting my butt on a rock throughout the day, even if I'm totally scattered and mentally confused, I can understand that activity. Once on the rock, and breathing, my centeredness returns. No matter what situation you find yourself in during the day, remember to breathe. It sounds simple. But people often forget, allowing the central nervous system to put them on autopilot. But in times of stress, when you feel out of control, frightened or overwhelmed, no matter what unconsciousness you may be feeling, keep that in the back of your mind: Remember to Breathe!
That will lead you to centeredness and will open the door for Earth energy to ground you.
The purpose of being grounded and centered is to make you present, truly present, "in" the moment.
When you are present, you can think clearly and act, not react. You cannot control the future; you cannot control the past. But "in" the moment, you can do whatever you set your mind to do and by thinking clearly, being grounded and centered, whatever is needful will appear.
The importance of grounding was brought to me recently through Dreamwork. As you advance through various initiations spiritually (whether you are aware of them or not), you will find that you are working on others constantly. With Reiki, your Reiki energy will turn on at odd times, your hands will grow warm -- you may never know if you are working on self or others, giving healing energy to those around you or at great distances, perhaps even in other planes and dimensions of time and space.
Grounding, Centering and Shielding
You also will find yourself doing work in Dreamwork, that is, in nightly dreaming.
A few nights ago, I was with my Reiki guides this way working with a woman who had "blocks" in her aura, thought forms that were preventing her from enjoying the blessings that were raining down upon her.
She appeared as a luminous egg as beautiful golden drops fell from the sky; but she could receive none of them for the dark forms blocking them in her aura.
I started to clear away the dark forms and my guides said, "No. Work on her feet." Sure enough, as soon as I began working on her feet, opening her connection to Earth energy, the dark thought forms melted away, transmuted by the Earth energy flowing into her aural body, disappearing like morning fog in sunshine, and the blessings were allowed to stream down upon her, to be reflected in her daily life where she could perceive them.
My guide took me to a place where they showed me the Tree of Life -- the energetic source of all being. It was radiant in white light, dazzling, towering to the heavens. But my guides pointed for me to look below. There, I saw that the Tree of Life is as tall as it is deep, a perfect mirror above and below. Just as the branches reach to infinity, so do its roots run deep. In the center is balance. That is where we belong. We each are a Tree of Life. Our roots much reach deep, so that our striving can soar. The deeper we go, the higher we can reach.
This leads to shielding. In group situations, especially stressful or chaotic ones, no matter how finely we have raised our vibrational level individually, we can "take on" unwanted energy, become confused, even attract negative thought forms in our auras that can lodge there and create conflict in our lives, even illness (dis-ease). This is especially true for people who have past-life "holes" in their auras where unwanted energy, thought forms, or spiritual intrusions can lodge. None of us is immune, as even with regular energy work, we can be distracted, allowing unwanted energy to enter.
So, whenever I go into group situations (a perfect example is Wal-Mart!), I make sure and shield beforehand and while there.
Shielding Through Intent
Shielding is quite simple; it's harder to remember to do it. Shielding is done through intent. Imagine yourself surrounded by a blue egg of light or it can be white light; whatever feels comfortable to you. Some people visualize wearing a cloak or coat of mirrors, so that whatever energy is sent their way is reflected; only personal energy and Divine (crown chakra) and Earth energy are allowed within this "egg."
Shielding is particularly important for anyone who does energy healing work with others.
It's not an "insult" to the person being helped, but protects you from "taking on" any issues (unwanted energy) of the client and protects them from the same.
Since the "shield" is clear or permeable, allowing healing energy to pass through, the work is done without impediment. Consider it only a "strainer" of unwanted energetic debris. And, always, when finishing energy work, be sure to "seal" the client's aura, and ask the Creator to remove any "debris" or "footprints" from both the client and yourself, to be returned where they belong or transmuted for positive good. Whenever we are going through emotional shifts, as the current Earth changes are causing through our entrainment with the Earth and Sun, we can be distracted or vulnerable to having our
personal energy field disrupted or "taking on" unwanted energy.
It is important to remember to be grounded, to be centered, and to shield in group situations or when faced with situations where our energetic systems may be at risk.
If you do not act with discernment in this way, keeping your being impeccable, coyote is always waiting to play a trick on you and teach you the lesson being the spiritual warrior you must be in order to grow, develop, advance. All our lessons are built upon the other; if we do not keep our energetic bodies intact, we run the risk of having the rug pulled out from under us until we can reconstruct and rebuild our vibrational level to where we want it to be: advancing and progressing.
Stay protected, stay grounded, keep centered.
Remember: Butt & Gut: Put your butt on a rock and breathe!
Aho.

Mint Spell for Sleep

Mint Spell for Sleep
The mints in my herb garden reach their peak in June. Their leaves glisten in the Sun, and their scent fills that corner of the garden. Herbalists have long regarded mint as a healing herb that calms us physically and mentally. If you’re tense and can’t rest, the scent of mint can help ease you into a peaceful sleep. To work this spell, cut at least three stems of mintâ€"spearmint or peppermint are bestâ€"and place the stems in a small vase by your bed. Finely chop another three stems of mint, and place these on a white cloth. Tie the cloth up with blue ribbon. Inhale the scent deeply. Place the bag of mint beneath your pillow, and repeat these words three times: “Mint so green, bring me peaceful rest.â€

Warlock the term used for a male witch.
I am working on writing something about Warlock and the current debate over the use of the name Warlock my research came up this source. http://www.ladyoftheearth.com/ Would you read it and I am looking for more research sources this about Warlockwitch/warlock. txt
That talk about Warlocks in traditional Scottish witchcraft warlock was and is simply the term used for a male witch. Likewise, Warlocks are, among historic Christian traditions, said to be the male equivalent of witches.
