NOVEMBER CITRINE

I've just discovered that the crystal Citrine is 'Stone of the Month' for November! How 'coincidental' that my new Citrine Activation movie clip was released to the world on November 7th! Or is it? There are no accidents, as they say!  

Natural Citrine is a very rare gem, pale yellow in colour, deposits of which have been found in Brazil, Africa, Madagascar, Spain, Russia, France, Scotland and the USA. Many examples sold in jewellery stores are actually heat-treated amethysts. 


In metaphysical terms, it’s said that Citrine can help to increase clarity of thought, enhance creativity, and expand the imagination. Crystal expert and author Judy Hall in her  ‘Crystal Bible’ says…

“Citrine is a powerful cleanser and regenerator. Carrying the power of the sun, this is an exceedingly beneficial stone. It is warming, energizing and highly creative. This is one of the crystals that never needs cleansing. It absorbs, transmutes, dissipates and grounds negative energy and is therefore extremely protective for the environment. Citrine energizes every level of life.”

Beautiful golden-coloured Citrine is also known as the Stone of Abundance which is why you'll find a piece in most Chinese homes and places of business. Having a piece of this gem about you is believed to teach one how to manifest wealth and prosperity and success.

CELTIC RECONNECTIONS – Old Friends and New

It’s been a while since I wrote, so I have lots of good stories to share and some surprises I hope you’ll like too! Just after sending my last News, I embarked on my journey to Ireland and the UK. It was an interesting and somewhat challenging trip and not at all what I expected. Mind you, the unexpected seems to be one of the most prominent features of life these days!! With two deaths in my extended family, my sister just out of hospital with a severely broken ankle and my gorgeous 91-year-old father suffering a bad fall the day after I arrived, the Divine timing of my visit became evident immediately!

Despite being housebound most of the time as Nurse Scallon, I did get to re-experience some of those connections with my Celtic roots, I spoke about in my last missive. The family home is situated right on the shores of Lough Erne, surrounded by forest, and my daily respite when possible, was to take off for about an hour each morning, to wend my way through the lush forest walks around the lakeside.



September in County Fermanagh heralds a period akin to the Fall in New England. The landscape becomes a riot of colour as the trees transform, giving up their deep green hues for the vibrant oranges, yellows and reds of autumn, before winter sets in. This change of season was just beginning when I was there – the sights and smells reminding me of times past, when I had experienced this beauty in its fullness.




The gift of these daily walks turned out to be quite profound. I experienced firsthand once more, the instantaneous transformation that can take place within ones being, when in proximity to Nature. Each time I stepped into the forest, it felt as if a huge burden lifted from me. My breathing automatically deepened, my body seemed to expand and relax, and my heart filled with appreciation for the beauty around me. In an instant, I could feel myself being transformed and transported from a place of worry and fatigue, to a place of joy and lightness of being.

More than on any other visit to Ireland in recent years, I found myself consciously connecting to the land itself and to my Celtic ancestors, asking that my cells remember this rich lineage. Day after day my prayers were answered, as I discovered and became acquainted with many new Tree Guardian friends.



These magnificent towering specimens covered in thick spongy moss and ivy seemed to speak to me, whispering secrets to my soul…..



I found myself talking to them, embracing them and admiring them with awestruck wonder, as they opened my heart with their beauty. I felt them absorb and recognise my appreciation, and respond to it. One huge tree showed me it was listening, as it revealed to me its giant ear!



So struck was I, by power and energy of the place, that I began to carry my camera with me on my walks. On two occasions, both times in the very same spot, the photos revealed that I had ‘unseen’ company with me on these forest sojourns!

The first time I happened upon this particular spot, I literally gasped in awe. Seeing the huge tree roots, entwined with stone and earth, I felt I was looking at a perfectly formed cave, which housed a large natural altar. I found myself instinctively moving in underneath the tree roots, stroking the rocks and singing to them.



Later, when I downloaded the images on to my laptop, I discovered that one of the photos had literally captured the magic of the place…a mass of Light Orb Beings had joined me, in recognition, celebration and appreciation of the sacredness and mystery of this special ‘cave’.


On my very last visit to the forest before I left Ireland, I decided to revisit this same spot with my little Ancient crystal skull, Abyss.



Downloading the photos some days later, I discovered that once more, the Light Orbs had come to say hello! You can see a bunch of them here at the right of the photo, on the lead-up to the cave.


I became acutely aware on these walks, of the presence of the Four Sacred Elements – Earth, Air, Fire and Water – so potently surrounded as I was by each of them, in these environs. The forest, the shimmering lake with its families of swans and their cygnets, the breeze, the rain and the fruits of the earth itself, all became living breathing entities for me.



A perfectly natural – though at the same time extraordinary - synchronicity occurred just after I arrived back to Australia. Sarah, a lovely friend from the US, forwarded me a channelled message by Natalie Glasson. Entitled Tree Spirit Activation by the Tree Spirits, the message was a beautiful confirmation for me, of the very real communication I had just experienced with our tree brothers.

“Extending our energies wide and far, we encapsulate the Earth in our loving heart. We are the very essence and consciousness of the trees upon the Earth; we are the spirit of the trees. It is extremely important that we come forward to speak with you today…”

“We, the tree spirits hold our own vibration of consciousness, which could be described as a very aware, patient and observant energy and way of being. Embodying physical trees upon the Earth, we are able to observe the energetic changes and steps forward that humanity takes as a whole and individuals. We understand the cycles that are occurring on the Earth…”

MYTHICAL IRELAND

A few days before I left Ireland, my father was well enough for us to go out for a bit of a ‘jaunt’! It was a joy to have him to myself for one day, and we found ourselves travelling, under the wide blue sky, towards Co. Sligo and the ‘Yeats Country’. William Butler Yeats is one of Ireland’s most famous sons, a poet whose words to this day, are etched on the hearts and minds of people the world over. His body now lies in a peaceful churchyard, under the foot of the iconic mountain Ben Bulben.


‘Under Ben Bulben’, a Yeats poem published just five days after his death, famously spells out his wish for his body to be placed in the Drumcliff churchyard, by the flank of a Sligo mountain. The ruined remains of one of the most ancient Round Towers of Ireland stands beside the churchyard.


Ben Bulben was formed during the Ice Age when Ireland was under glaciers. Originally a large ridge, the moving glaciers shaped it into its present distinct formation. Its steep buttressed cliff side and flat top which dominate the landscape, have always reminded me of that other mythical rock - Ayer’s Rock - found in the centre of my new home, Australia.


Ben Bulben is the setting of many Celtic legends - a place described as being redolent with faeries and mythological significance. It’s said to be the resting place of the legendary couple Diarmuid and Grainne, buried there in the highest cave in Ireland, at the top of the cliffs at the rear of the beautiful Horseshoe valley.

It’s also said to have been the dwelling place of the Fianna – a band of warriors who lived in the 3rd century. An earlier Yeats poem, The Celtic Twilight, links the mountain with superhuman horsemen who ride forth every night, from an opening in the mountain. These supernatural horsemen are identified with the Irish faeries called the Sidhe - descendants of the legendary Tuatha de Danann, who were one of the great ancient tribes of Ireland. The epitaph on Yeats gravestone carries a direct reference to these supernatural horsemen of Ben Bulben, in a quotation from his own poem…

Cast a cold eye
On life, on death,
Horseman, pass by!



Always under the towering presence of Ben Bulben, we drove from Yeats’s grave, through the Sligo countryside…..



to the exquisite seaside village of Ross’s Point.


Our journey home took us back along the magnificent Donegal coastline…



And past the Castle of Classiebawn - once the home of Lord Mountbatton who was the uncle and godfather of Prince Charles.


It was a day full of magical sights and precious memories in the making – one that reminded me once more, that the genes of our ancestors and the land we are born into, are well and truly encoded in our very DNA! Unlike many Asian and Eastern peoples, who perform daily ceremonies, to honour both their ancestors and the spirits of the land they live in, most of us in the West – especially long-term city dwellers - have become detached from our roots. I fear we may have lost much in the process. However, some of us are beginning to remember. Hopefully, it’s not to late for us to re-learn how to love Mother Earth as she truly deserves, and heal ourselves in the process.

NEW SACRED TOOLS

Two extraordinary and special new sacred tools have come to me recently. Or perhaps I should say, were ‘returned’ to me? Both these sacred objects came to me in a most unexpected way, while on my travels - there’s that unexpected thing again!! And both events demonstrated for me in the most potent way possible:-

• There is a Divine Plan at work in everything
• Although we may not we consciously aware of why we are drawn to be somewhere or do something, our ‘Higher Self’ knows exactly what’s going on – it’s the one driving the bus!
• Most magic happens when we step out of our planned schedule and respond to events spontaneously, in the moment.

The first of these sacred tools ‘found me’ in June when I was on my tour of Northern California. The second one came into my world exactly three months later.

Just five minutes ago as I set out to write this, I was hit with an electrically charged realization! In a ‘light bulb moment’ I was granted a further insight into the significance of these tools, and into their connection with each other. As I cast my memory back to try to recall the timing of these events, I realized that I took possession of the first one at the sacred site of Mt Shasta, on June 21st, the day of the Summer Solstice, and that the second one manifested on September 21st, the day of the Autumn Equinox, at another sacred site; Bury-St-Edmunds in the UK.
Oh my goodnesss…I KNOW this is no accident.




SACRED JADE BONES

When I arrived in Sacramento last June, 2011, I had a few days to acclimatize before doing my first ‘Crystal Keys Activation Ceremony in Cameron Park, so myself and my friend Jill decided to make a trip to San Francisco to spend the day with Sarah Mc Crosky of Human Spirit Radio. Sarah had interviewed me by telephone a couple of months earlier, and I was really looking forward to meeting her in person.

After our first joyous exchange on arrival, Sarah revealed that she had, as we had hoped, arranged a visit to Kirby Seid at his home and Crystal gallery nearby. I first met Kirby at the 10.10.10 World Mysteries Crystal Skull gathering in Arizona, and was thrilled to have this opportunity to catch up with him again. Apart from being a powerful shaman, crystal caretaker and creator of the The Light Labyrinth™ http://www.ancienttechnologies.com - a powerful new technology combining spectacular crystals with exquisite computerized light programs, Kirby also became caretaker of the ancient crystal skull ShaNaRa, after Nick Nocerino’s death. He still remains closely connected to the skull, working with and assisting Nick’s daughter Michelle, who is gradually taking over the custodianship of this powerful skull from him.

On meeting Kirby, the conversation not surprisingly, immediately turned to discussion of crystal skulls! I asked Kirby if he had any particular skulls he was working with himself at the moment. He said that yes there was one, which he had upstairs. As the four of us sat down in a circle, Jill, Sarah and I began to unpack our wares for Kirby. I had my three most personal Crystal skulls with me, which I placed in the centre of the circle at our feet, as we happily chatted away.

Kirby suddenly got up and left the room. I assumed he was going to fetch the crystal skull he had mentioned earlier but instead he came back with three long green-coloured crystals, which he told us were jade bones. As I handled and examined them, I felt drawn to one of them in particular, which I noticed had a distinct marking etched on it, much like the identifying mark an artist or sculpture would make on their artwork. On asking Kirby if the marking had any significance, he told me that it signified the item had belonged to a shaman.

With that, Kirby left the room again, coming back this time with a pair of much larger, brownish-coloured bones, shaped like a human femur bone that had been split right down the middle. Turning the bones over to show us the inside surfaces, he pointed out the carved stick figure like pictographs etched on them. There were three separate images on each bone.


Intrigued, I reached out both hands to receive the bones from Kirby, to have closer look. As soon as they touched my hands, the activation took place! My channel opened with incredible power and we were all instantly drawn into the unfoldment of a spontaneous ceremony. Somehow, I knew exactly what to do with these crystal tools…. It felt to me as if they had belonged to me in previous times. For the next few hours they remained glued to my palms, becoming hot with the energy they generated themselves, as well as the body energy they absorbed from me.

It became pretty clear to myself and the others present that these sacred objects were calling to me! Kirby, the crystal skull specialist, had not shown us one crystal skull – he’d known exactly what he was supposed to bring out that day!

I was curious of course, to know as much as possible about these artifacts, and quizzed Kirby about their provenance. It turned out that they’d come to him less than two weeks before, from a lady anthropologist he’d met at a crystal skull event. The bones, she told him, were thought to be approximately 5000 years old. They’d been found by a friend of hers who lives in China, who informed her they’d been found on an archeological dig on the border between Tibet and China. The lady told Kirby, she felt that the bones were not supposed to remain with her. She entrusted Kirby the bones that day, believing that if anyone could find the rightful caretaker, it would be him.

I asked Kirby if he knew what the metaphysical significance of ‘bones’ might be….why would someone carve jade in the shape of a bone? He told me that bones were used in Ancestor worship - that they were seen as the conduit for ancestral energies. In a sense they are Ancestral Akashic records. And he told me to think about the fundamental nature of human or animal bones….Bones equal structure and foundation….they hold coded information within the body. Stones and crystals, Kirby said, are the bones of the earth and serve a similar function. These Jade bones then, held a symbolism both literal and metaphysical.

I left Kirby’s house that day not knowing for sure, if the bones were meant to be mine or not. Kirby had agreed to speak to the owner to see if he could negotiate the terms of transfer. Within 24 hours, an agreement had been made….the bones it seemed, were indeed to return to Australia with me!

When I spoke to their previous owner Marza on the phone the next day, she gave me some more wonderful information about these sacred tools. Marza herself is of Native American heritage, and in the year she’d had the bones in her possession, they had taken part in ceremonies in many sacred places, including ceremonies with the Hopi Indians, as well as ceremonies with Dom Umberto and the Q’ero Indians - direct descendants of the ancient Inca priests.

She told me the bones were believed to be of the Neolithic period of about 5000 years ago. Found in the Hung Shung region of China, they were thought to be in the tradition of ‘Oracle Bones’. The figures etched upon them are an ancient form of writing, of the same nature as the most ancient recorded writing ‘Jingre’. Jingre was a precursor to the oracle writing later found oxen scapula bones and turtle shells. It later turned into another form of writing, which is now dated at about 3,500 years old. These Jade bones however, anthropologists believe come from a time well before that. Marza told me that there’s nothing really written about these ancient bones, except in the museum notes of the findings of the anthropological research.

She told me the bones would have belonged to a shaman who used them for both divination and healing purposes. One of the reasons they’d been carved in two pieces was that each piece would have been placed on either side of for example, a broken leg or arm. Neolithic Jade is very heavy and very hard to carve - almost like a black jade which has lots of basalt. The bones feel and sound metallic and give a metal clinck when tapped together. Marza said that jade bones are very difficult to find, unless you are attuned to their energy.

The Jade Bones finally came into my hands in Mt Shasta on the day of the Summer Solstice. The precious package was delivered by Sarah who had decided to travel to Mt Shasta to attend my Solstice Crystal Activation ceremony. Placed in my hands just hours before the ceremony, the bones sat on the crystal skull altar that night, their work with me beginning right away! Their work continued the following day with another group initiation, when a Divinely planned, spontaneous gathering of skull caretakers took place. Brought together ‘by chance’ at the beautiful Sacred Seed crystal shop in Mt. Shatsta, in a spontaneous and profoundly moving ceremony, the Bones and the crystal skulls, worked their magic together.


It was the owner of Sacred Seed, Miguel, who first drew my attention to something about the figures etched on the Bones, that I immediately recognized to be ‘true’. "I think these figures are demonstrating some sort of system of movement…”,  he said.


This idea resonated with me because, when I’m channeling the Sounds of Sirius – especially when I’m doing my own private daily practice each morning – I allow my body to move in whatever way the energy flow dictates. This results in a natural, flowing movements like Tai Chi or Chi Quong, and sometimes my body moves into recognizable sacred dance postures. As I looked again at the positions of the carved figures on the bones, I recognized them as representations of the sort of positions I often find myself in, while I’m channelling.


Movement, like sound, can help bring us into alignment and balance, as we let the Life Force flow through us. Perhaps whoever carved these jade bones was consciously encoding very specific symbols on there, which represented a tried and tested system of movement?

There is so much for me to discover about these remarkable, ancient tools….I know I have not even begun to scratch the surface yet.



CRYSTAL DORJE

On September 20th, having said an emotional farewell to my father and family in Ireland, I arrived in the UK to be met by another sister – the other emigrant of the family! We had already planned to treat ourselves to ‘catch-up’ dinner and a night in a hotel alone, before returning to her home and family the next day. With her two young sons at school, we could afford to take our time driving to Suffolk the following day. Ciara gave me some options of where we might visit en route. I liked the sound of Bury-St-Edmunds, which she described as a lovely old English town with some good shopping, as well as having an old Abbey and gardens.

It was a beautiful sunny day and it was a joy to have some unhurried time together to engage in a bit of ‘retail therapy’, especially given the fact that the only shop I’d been into in Ireland was the supermarket!! As the day wore on, I suddenly turned to Ciara and said, “I don’t suppose there are there any crystal shops or New Age shops here?” “There is one actually”, she said, “and it’s not far from the Abbey Gardens.”

As we walked through the door of ‘The Crystal Merchant’, http://www.thecrystalmerchant.com my eyes instantly fell on an incredible crystal Dorje. I’d never seen anything like it – it was huge! Dorjes are usually made from metal and the crystal ones I have seen are usually quite small, because of the amount of crystal needed to carve such an intricate design. The next thing my eyes fell on was a very unusual crystal skull. I instantly knew it had to have been carved by the renowned skull carver, Leandro de Souza, the carver of one of my own most precious skulls. I fell into immediate conversation about these two very special objects, with the owner of the shop, Cosmo Verner. We were ‘off and running’ so Ciara left us to it, saying she’d pick me up later!

As Cosmo and I chatted, I kept returning again and again to pick up the Dorje. It felt so familiar and comfortable in my hands. Cosmo told me he’d bought the Dorje in India, five years previously. However, the crystal wand maker he’d purchased it from told him that it had originally come from Tibet. Which of course, made absolute sense. The dorje and bell are the primary Ritual Tools of Tibetan Buddhism, used in almost all ritual, ceremony and chanting. Always kept together, they represent many layers of intricate symbolism and meaning. The dorje is a quintessential symbol of enlightenment. In Sanskrit, the word vajra translates as ‘diamond’ or ‘adamantine’. It can also mean ‘thunderbolt’.

DORJE
As the archetypal male principle the dorje it is the quintessential symbol of the ‘diamond mind of enlightenment’ so hard that it is able to cut through all illusions and deceits and arrive at the clear light of truth in its two forms. These two forms of truth are symbolised by the two pronged dorje and are relative truth - needed for daily living ie. science, practical knowledge etc., and absolute truth which reveals the inner nature of the universe. The central hub from which the prongs arrive represents the sphere of actual reality. From this sphere arise two eight petalled lotuses crowned by two full moon ‘discs’ from which emerge the five upper and lower prongs. These five represent the Five Buddha families, the five elements, and the five skandhas [form- feeling - perception - motivation and consciousness- which the outer four are curved into and merge with at the tip.] As such the dorje is the great alchemical symbol and represents the creation of the ‘philosophers stone’. In Tibetan, dorje means the indestructible stone. The dorje is considered the ultimate spiritual weapon in that it is used to banish the forces of darkness, ignorance and disharmony with its power of lightning and clear truth. It is held in the right hand and twirled according to the pattern of the particular ritual, where it also represents ’skillful method’. http://blog.crystalwave.com.au/?p=34


Cosmo asked me if I’d been down to see the Old Abbey and when I replied in the negative he said, ‘You must go there before you leave. The Michel and Mary Leylines meet in the centre of the Abbey!” It turns out that Bury-St-Edmunds is a sacred site of the same ilk as Glastonbury! Cosmos’s shop itself is situated right in between the two Leylines – something he had consciously planned when he decided to open a crystal shop. Having been to Glastonbury many times, he feels that the energies of Bury-St-Edmunds are much more soft and gentle.

When it became evident that the Dorje needed my undivided attention, Cosmos suggested I sit with it for a while in his healing room, attached to the shop. I already knew in my bones, that this was a very, very special tool but part of me was saying… “No – do not be ridiculous! You can’t afford this and anyway…. do you really need it!” I emerged from the healing room in a state of turmoil - excited and yet desperately trying to rein myself in! I felt that I needed more time alone, to truly decipher if this magnificent crystal piece was really calling me to be it’s caretaker, or if it was just my ego self - the magpie part of me that just loves beautiful things - that was driving my excitement! I bid farewell to Cosmo and told him I might, or might not, see him later!

I headed off in search of the Old Abbey. On entering the site of the magnificent old ruins in the sun, I marvelled at the sophistication and architectural ingenuity of the ancestors.


It became clear that this wasn’t just a place of spiritual significance - historically it also really packs a punch! A plaque on one of the Abbey walls stated that on St Edmund’s altar, Cardinal Langton and several Barons had sworn that they would obtain from King John, the ratification of the Magna Carta.


As I wandered through the ruins, I noticed, with a sort of shock of recognition, that there were big lumps of crystal strewn all over the ground! When I took a closer look at the surroundings, I realized that not only had the Abbey been placed smack bang on top of two powerful grid lines but all the buildings had been constructed from crystal geodes! It would literally have been a ‘Lightening’ rod of crystal energy! I get the feeling the original builders knew just a little bit, about harnessing crystal energy and earth energies in general!


I found my way eventually, to the sunken section of the ruins where I’d been told the Michael and Mary Leylines actually met. I lay down on the inviting soft green grass in the gentle sunshine, right there on the juncture of the leylines, and called on my Angels and Guides to give me some clarity about how to proceed.

By the time I got up from the ground, my decision was made. One of the strongest images I had received was of myself standing in front of a large group of people singing, holding the Dorje with both hands in front of my solar plexus. As the Sounds of Sirius came through me, I saw the Dorje ignite with a burst of White Light energy, which shot out towards the people present as well as the wider world beyond, like bright piercing laser beams. As I write this, I now realise that what I had seen in that vision, was the Dorje embodying its ‘Thunderbolt’ essence of delivering ‘en-Lightenment’.

With a growing excitement in my heart, I made my way out through the Abbey ruins to head back to Cosmo’s shop. On the way, I was gifted with what I felt was a sign of further confirmation that my decision was the right one….




In the Chapter House section of the Old Abbey, where several of the Abbots were buried, I found the grave of one of my husband’s ancestors, Edmundus de Walpole, who had been Abbot of the Abbey from 1243 to 1256. The Walpole lineage is a proud and strong one, which includes the first Prime Minister of England Sir Robert Walpole, as well as the writer Horace Walpole. However, I knew my husband would be very surprised to find that the Walpoles had been making their mark, much farther back in history!


Back at The Crystal Merchant, as Cosmo wrapped up the Dorje, he shared with me that this special crystal had been part of Solstice, full moon and Equinox ceremonies at many sacred sites throughout the UK - Stonehenge, Glastonbury, Avebury to name a few. And ‘of course’, he said, ‘there will be people down in the Old Abbey tonight to celebrate the Equinox”.

There is was…..it hit me like a ‘thunderbolt’…..I’d been so wrapped up in family concerns and the 3D practical world, that I wasn’t even aware that that particular day was September 21st and the Autumn Equinox!! My Higher Self however, was evidently well and truly on the job, making sure I got to that sacred site on that day and that I’d find my way to Cosmo’s shop!

Before I left England, I took the Dorje to the beach in Suffolk, to bathe it in English waters and farewell those shores before departing for its new home in the Southern Hemisphere. Interestingly, my little nephew Oscar who was with me took part in the ritual with great enthusiasm.


Intuitively, he drew a mandala around it in the sand…



A week or so after arriving back in Australia, I took the Dorje to the beach in beautiful Port Douglas to formally welcome it to these shores. Bathing it in the Tropical coral seas of the Pacific Ocean, I consciously sent the energies back out through the waters, to connect back to Glastonbury and the Tor, Stonehege and Avebury, and asked that a crystalline energy grid of connection be formed in that moment, between the Southern and Northern Hemispheres.



I then drew a mandala around it on the golden sand, to echo the one Oscar had drawn on the English beach.



Two sacred objects….. two sacred places…..on two significantly energy-filled days……I wonder what new journeys these new tools will lead me to in the future?

ANCIENT CRYSTALS OF NOW - Alison James

Image by Leanne Williams - http://www.diamondlightlmw.com

Alison James www.GoldenAgeofLight.com is a beautiful Crystal Healer, who was a fellow participant in the 2010 Maya Crystal Skull Conference, in Mexico. The following is a wonderful piece Alison has just written on the new crystals that have been appearing around the world. Being such a crystal lover myself and having entitled my new album ‘Crystal Keys’, I loved the information that Alison offers in this article….

“We are uncovering "new" crystals around the world at this time of Ascension of Mother Earth. While we may look and declare that this is something new, ancient wisdom has taught us “there is nothing new under the sun”. Over millions of years, certain combinations of elements have been forged together to form brilliant, colourful and unique crystals that are coming to the fore NOW.

11.11.11 GATEWAY

This Friday coming, is the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011 - 11.11.11

Dates such as these hold great spiritual significance for many people. Even for those not tuned into the metaphysical possibilities, it will probably serve as a significant benchmark or memory trigger in the future, with people easily remembering where they were and what they were doing on that day.

For those of us who are more attuned to energetic and spiritual realities, 11.11.11 offers us a symbolic opportunity to stop and take stock, as well as to open ourselves up to receive the new energies flooding into our universe at this time. 11.11.11 is a Gateway….a launch pad

Unlike the 9.9.9 and the 10.10.10 when I joined many other crystal skull caretakers from around the world in Arizona for the World Mysteries Crystal Skull conferences, this time I felt no such pull. For some reason, my instinct has been that the 11.11.11 gateway is one I need to greet in a more private way. I have no idea why I feel this why. Initially, I thought I would be called to something larger as in previous years, so I am complete following my intuition on this one. Perhaps in hindsight, the reason for this privacy will be revealed…

I will however, be very consciously tuning in to all the other wonderful events taking place across the globe on that day. Many thousands, if not millions of people around the world will be joining their energies together to pray for peace on that day…to pray that we may find a new way of living and a new way of Be-ing on this beautiful planet of ours.

Here are just a few that you might like to ‘tune into’ too…..

Mysterious Orbs – a book by Michelle Brennan
Colour photographs, inspirational messages and verses.

Her photographs are leading edge. Her work stepped up to the next level when the orbs commenced channelling through inspirational messages and verses. She presents this work to you with the utmost integrity and trusts you will find the contents educational and inspiring.


Pools of Light – Angel and Ascended Master, double divination deck
A unique and sacred Twin Oracle set that reveals illuminated reflections from the Ascended Masters and The Angels. These two exquisite decks of cards combine to give you deeper guidance.

The Ascended Masters and Angels are very compatible and they work together in Loving Harmony. Hence the twin decks. It is highly recommended to use both decks together, for more insight and clarity into any challenge. While the Ascended Masters reveal the inner workings of a particular situation and offer their support, the Angels bring a celestial clarity.

 
Mandala Manifestation Cards – by Star Languages
 SL Mandalas are patterned formations of cards, which may contain single or multiple sacred geometrical shapes.  The cards used, display both colours and symbols.  Colour is important, as each colour represents a particular cosmic ray.  

The symbols are equally important, as they represent particular qualities or concepts.  The Mandala Manifestation Cardset consists of 60 cards, each displaying a particular symbol/quality, as well as a particular colour.

VIDEO WATCH - Concert in Glass

One of my favourite scenes in the wonderful Sandra Bullock movie ‘Miss Congeniality’ was the one in which, under pressure to find something to perform in the Talent section of the beauty pageant, she resorted to playing ‘Somewhere My Love’ on drinking glasses!

Robert Tiso turns this idea up by several thousand notches, by playing Johann Sebastian Bach’s Fugue in D Minor, on the Glass harp.

I think you will be amazed!


WORDS OF WISDOM - Attuning yourself to the highest possible reality - A Message from the rare Tibetan Crystal Skull AMAR

The key to mastering the energies in the times to come is to raise your frequency so you can maintain wellbeing, receive higher guidance, and attain higher and higher levels of consciousness. The more light you experience, the lighter and more enlightened you will become – this is the process of ascension, and this is the key to rising above fear.

There are parallel realities that exist simultaneously, just like there are many radio stations that are currently broadcasting all kinds of music and information right now. When you tune the radio to a certain frequency, you connect with certain music or information – if you like the vibration, you keep it on that station, and if you don’t like what you hear, then you tune the dial to a different station.

The same is true in quantum reality – you must attune yourself to the frequency of the reality you wish to experience. If you are dialed into fear, then you will experience what you fear. However, if you attune yourself to the highest frequencies of peace, joy and light, then that is what you will experience no matter what is going on around you.

Crystal skulls have come at this time to help raise the frequencies on Earth, and to help raise the consciousness of humanity individually and collectively. When more crystal skulls are gathered together, it increases the frequency of light and consciousness exponentially – this is why many people feel drawn to have more than one crystal skull, and this is also the purpose of crystal skull gatherings.

When crystal skulls come together, we commune in Light – we transfer light and energy between each other, and as we do, the light creates a grid that intensifies over time and space. Once this light grid is established, it cannot be broken.

Crystal skull gatherings bring people together from all over this world – when the crystal skulls and their caretakers return home, they extend this Lightgrid around the planet. This serves to energize and stabilize the Earth as she undergoes her rebirth into the Lightness of Being.

These crystal skull gatherings are vital for this planet and for humanity in order to raise the vibration and consciousness of one and all for Ascension. This is the true purpose of the crystal skulls, and why we have re-emerged at this pivotal time on Earth. Thank you for allowing us to serve and assist you now and in the times to come. Thank you for bringing crystal skulls together and for gathering together as one mind, one heart, one consciousness, for you are the One.

LATEST NEWS ON CRYSTAL KEYS

Crystal Keys – Songs to Awaken and Heal, my new album which was released in both the USA and Australia last month, is beginning to make inroads on both the mainstream and internet radio fronts worldwide!

UK DISTRIBUTION OF THE SOUNDS OF SIRIUS

I’m currently in negotiation with a UK distribution company, in regard to distribution of the Sounds of Sirius Catalogue of CDs.

VIDEO WATCH - euroanatomist, Jill Bolte Taylor

This is a riveting video clip – I highly recommend a viewing.

Neuroanatomist, Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened -- as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding -- she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

CRYSTAL SKULLS & THE ENIGMA OF TIME


Patricia Mercier is a writer, visionary artist, crystal healer and shamanic healer, living in Spain. She has travelled widely in Central America. In 1995, she encountered her first crystal skull during a ceremony at Uxmal, Mexico, and since then she has been initiated by Mayan priests and elders to become a teacher of the Mayan mysteries.

WHITE HORSE JOURNEYS - Sacred Tour of Sedona

Listen to the calling of your Heart and journey with my dear friend Stephanie Phelps, to Sedona Arizona ~ the Land of Magic, Power, Ancient History and Majestic Beauty. This is a trip to activate the knowledge within you, to explore and connect with the sacred energies of the land through ceremony, doing, being and exploration.

WORDS OF WISDOM - The Hathors - Tom Kenyon

This is new teaching from the Hathors, through Tom Kenyon.

“Due to the acceleration of time, the transformation of your civilization will increase exponentially. Your word “transformation” literally means moving beyond form, thus the structures of your reality (meaning the thought forms and beliefs as well as the external realities of your life) will be undergoing rapid change.”

A PROFOUND LESSON

I learnt a rather profound lesson in the last 12 hours that relates directly to the message of ‘Appreciation’ from the Hathors.

THE EMERALD ISLE

Speaking of things of beauty…..this is where I will be next week! The photo below is taken from a look-out point close to my family home on  Lough Erne, Co. Fermanagh in N.Ireland. It is a very beautiful spot as you can see. It’s said that the lake has 365 islands – one for every day of the year!
