Assistance Please!

The Earth needs our assistance at this time. As it is going through some amazing shifts in the universe, it is also experiencing some shifting within itself. The Khundalini Serpent is moving its resting place from Tibet to South America. As it does so, the pole of the earth is also tilting to face a different constellation, Aquarius. With either one of these shifts the energy flow would be affected. With both, the energy is in need of help as the crystals and stones within the earth are having a bit of a time of it adapting to the different flow of energy.

So what can we as mere mortals do to help? There is a wonderful meditation that my crystals told me about, which is now coming more to public awareness through various articles that are being written. This actually works. What it does is connects us and our consciousness to the crystals of the earth and the universal energies of the stars. Here is how to do this....

Focus on the solar plexus energy and breathe in. As you do allow the energy to flow out the front of the Solar Plexus chakra and move rapidly up to the stars. As you exhale, allow the energy to move down your back, through the Solar Plexus chakra and out its front, and down into the core of the earth. Then breathe in and allow it to flow up your back, through the Solar Plexus chakra, out the front and back to the stars. This creates an infinity symbol, the two loops of which are the stars and the core of the earth, the centre of which is your Solar Plexus chakra. As you breathe, the crystals and stones of the earth become reprogrammed with Universal Healing Energy and adjust the energy matrix of the Earth so that she is able to adapt to the new shift of the Khundalini. It is kind of like fly fishing while at the same time anchoring the earth with Universal Healing Energy. You will also find your own consciousness growing and expanding and your own energy system experiencing wonderful and exciting new shifts.

Try it. It is quite an amazing experience.

Slowing Down

Things have been a bit like a rat race for me in the last 2 weeks. This morning I found myself becoming uptight about some minor stuff that could definitely wait till later if I allowed myself some time. Once I realized that simple fact, that it could wait till later, then all the stress that had built up over the last few days regarding this issue just drained out of my shoulders and back. It was an experience that bordered on orgasmic as the energy drained away and out of my body. It was almost like what one experiences when muscles are tight and warm water is showered over them, but better.

Then I drew my Osho Zen Tarot card and it was the card titled "Slowing down". It has an absolutely beautiful picture of a tortoise finding its way to the water's edge, which is a prism of rainbow colors. It is so serene and peaceful that I laughed at how connected the card was to what I had just experienced. The lesson...slow down.

Take your time, folks. The world won't come to an end if you leave something and revisit it tomorrow.

Life is too short....

Every once in a while it is important to just let loose. I am not one who usually drums at a house party. In fact I think that I have only ever done that twice in my life. Why? Well, most house parties that I have been at have been hosted and attended by folks who would think that this sort of thing is inappropriate. At this particular house party, the hosts and the guests were the types who love drumming and dancing. That is the best sort of house party to be at! People just let loose and drummed and danced and it was fabulous.

Life is too short to not take advantage of opportunities like these. It is too short to worry about money and it is way too short to hate someone. We are given many opportunities in our lives to just play. Do we take them? Most often not. I have come to the decision to allow myself to provide and take advantage of any opportunity to play that I can. This won't always mean drumming. Sliding down a water slide is one way, eating chocolate is another. It could be anything. And, let's face it, when it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

I don't wanna work...just wanna bang on my drum all day!!!!

Gentleness

So often in our culture gentleness is equated with weakness. There is actually great strength achieved in gentleness. I am a very large man. By that I mean that I am very tall and, with a bald head, can look foreboding to people who are of a smaller stature.

I remember what it was like to be a young boy and have everyone be much bigger than I was at the time. I remember feeling small and insignificant and I also remember how some adults were oblivious to that matter and didn't treat me well as a result of that oblivion and of their own harsh natures.

For this reason, I like to incorporate the energy of the deer whenever I am dealing with children. They come to know me as a gentle giant as a result. I like to talk with them as equals and allow them the honor of talking with me in the same way. Whenever possible, I like to get down to their height and look them in the eye when communicating. That way I might not seem so intimidating to them. They really respond well to this. I think that had someone done this for me when I was little, I might not have been so afraid of the world when growing up. This blog, according to my Love, is short and sweet, so ulike me in the first part and so like me in the second!

It's Not Everything

Often in marital counselling one will hear the words, "Sex isn't everything." These words of wisdom are often passed down from one generation to the next as sage advice. I actually have a slightly different view on the matter.

You see, water isn't everything either. Yet without it we could not live. Air isn't everything and get we would die within minutes without it. Exercise isn't everything and yet if we don't get some our bodies become unhealthy. So to say that anything isn't everything comes across as trite.

When we lack something in our lives, it becomes all that we can think about and everything for which we yearn. A lack of sex creates a deep soul skin hunger that drives us crazy and becomes a distraction from other things in our lives. To experience this due to lack of opportunity is easily solved in many cases. But to experience this because you are in a committed relationship in which your partner cuts you off from sexual intimacy falls into the realm of neglect and abuse. Most often the partner who is being neglected is too embarrassed to talk about it. They feel repulsive and worthless. Let's face it, if one is getting the message from the one person in the world that one is not desirable, what other conclusion is there to find? And then the betrayal of having a counsellor say, "Sex isn't everything" simply adds salt to a very deep wound as well as enables the neglectful partner to continue the neglect. It is a twisted world we live in sometimes.

Sex is holy. Sex is sacred. It is a physical expression of a deep soul connection. When we allow ourselves to reduce sex to "obligation" and "meaningless" we reduce ourselves to the same thing. My advice is that if there is anything happening in a relationship that feels like it needs to be kept a secret, then you shouldn't be in that relationship. To all those out there who have been neglected on this very basic level, I hope that you will find a way to heal it with your partner and if your partner is not willing, then my hope is that you will get out fast and find happiness elsewhere. You deserve to be happy. You are worthy of a fulfilling sexual relationship.

Compassion

This is the highest form of love. In order to develop compassion, we must have deep, well fed roots. We can't chop ourselves off from our roots or we lose our foundation and the ability to receive nurturing. We also need to have equal amounts of sun and rain in our lives. That way we are able to understand others around us. We can celebrate when the sun shines upon them and we can comfort them when the rain pours down. Our stems must be secure but also protected by thorns when need be. That way no one can take advantage of us or approach us with anything other than respect. We have to see the potential in ourselves and others as we bud forth and develop new skills in our lives. We also need to appreciate our own beauty and share that from within with everyone around us. When our time comes, we need to gracefully allow the petals to fall to the earth and the cycle of life to continue.

Like the rose, as we do these things we emit a fragrance in the energy system that is there for all to enjoy. It is not exclusive to just one person or another. It is free for all. That is the compassionate heart fragrance and it is beautiful!

The Burdens We Bear

Sometimes our shoulders are just not broad enough. We were never meant to be Atlas, holding the world upon our shoulders. But somewhere along the way, we are given the definite message that we have to carry the load. Sometimes that is because others are unwilling. But sometimes it is because we are under the illusion that if we don't do it then no one else will, or worse, that we are the only ones who can do it properly.

The more we martyr ourselves, the less value we actually place on our own well being. The less value we have on our own well being, the more likely it is that we are going to do something that will harm ourselves and risk our own demise, thus not allowing ourselves to actually be there for those we love.

We also have to let go of thinking that no one else can do it as well. This is actually the thinking of a control freak. If we are the ones doing it, then we are in charge and know exactly what is happening. God forbid we relinquish any amount of control and learn to simply flow with life!

This is what we get into when we are out of balance in our base chakra and in our heart chakra. In the base chakra the River of Surprise is feared instead of embraced. This results in our closing the Open Heart chamber in the heart chakra. These two things will eventually lead to serious illness, dis-ease and disharmony.

What we need to understand is that change is the only constant thing in life and we need to flow with it. We also need to understand that in allowing others to assist us we give them the honor of learning how to do things and the ability to take pride in a job well done. It builds their self-confidence and self-esteem.

So we can now all stop doing the weight lifting exercises that build and then break the shoulders and just loosen up with some really good stretches!
