On the morning of January 1, 2012, I awakened to the feeling of peace and calm. I was deeply appreciative as the previous couple of months had been abrupt, though revealing. On this day it was a beautiful feeling to begin the New Year in peace, knowing it would be the last of its kind in this long cycle of time. I also knew that this year required my full attention. I had stated my intention and commitment to the God of my Being several months earlier.&lt;p /&gt; 														Quietly I moved into meditation on January 1st, preparing, in just hours, for "The World Puja Network's" second annual live 2-hour World Meditation and Planetary Transmission where thousands of people from around the globe were about to join us.&lt;p /&gt; 														 (The MP3 and transcript are available to all that were unable to join us, at &lt;a href="http://postlink.www.listbox.com/1128271/bac3e8875ded11603a65e8c5193e9190/21790543/49b923eb?uri=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tYXVyZWVubW9zcy5jb20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.maureenmoss.com&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://postlink.www.listbox.com/1128272/96450e90a3309853dcc0c1e3740b2f99/21790543/49b923eb?uri=aHR0cDovL3d3dy53b3JsZHB1amEub3Jn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.worldpuja.org&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;p /&gt; 														The moment all of the hosts gathered, speaking our love and gratitude for each other and all that we were about to embark upon, I felt a blanket of grace around each of us, around the planet, and around humanity. I felt the Angels gathering. I knew what we were about to put forth was important. This is the year, I sensed, where there will be a profound number of awakenings, and we would be of some assistance for each. It may not be a year of comfort, I had long been informed, but it will be one of necessity and ultimately great blessings. &lt;p /&gt; 														 And so it began, our two hour World Meditation and Transmission. As it built momentum, dozens and dozens of birds of all sizes and colors gathered in my front yard, on every hedge, bush and tree. I'd never seen that many birds, gathered. Later I found out it was so in my neighbors yard, and then in one of the other speaker's yards in Sedona, Arizona. &lt;p /&gt; 														 The birds, in all of their glory were singing, like I had never heard, as though they were bringing forth their Divine Symphony in harmony with ours, carrying the song of Oneness and love out into the world in their glorious way. Tears streamed down my face. I wondered how many other birds were doing the same throughout the world. What a beautiful way to begin the year. &lt;p /&gt; 														Ten days later I received three Emails in one day that took me out of my reverie and into deep, deep stillness for days of contemplation and interaction with the Divine, prompting this article. &lt;p /&gt; 														One of my students for many years who had become a friend, almost made her transition after one round of chemotherapy that caused a thrombosis that nearly strangled her. &lt;p /&gt; 														Another student of years gone by, who also became a friend, suddenly made her transition after a very challenging year with bone cancer. She was a profound, joyous and brilliant being of Light. &lt;p /&gt; 														 On the same day one of the most important men in my life was swiftly diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and life threatening tumors running up and down his spine. &lt;p /&gt; 														Robert has been a profound mentor to me, at times when he didn't know it, at times when he made a point of it. If not for his tutelage many beautiful things in my life that has also touched the world would have had a much more challenging time coming to pass. He has made me laugh harder than most and has taught me (and teaches the world) everything one needs to know about Presence, letting your Life come to you, and authenticity. &lt;p /&gt; 														I felt myself almost stop breathing. What in the world was going on here? I stopped everything that I was doing, because I was unable to do anything, and went deep into the caverns of my inners, where the flame of the Divine waits for me, waits for all of us. I approached, as always, with reverence and with my one main question.&lt;p /&gt; 														 "What do I need to know about this?"&lt;p /&gt; 														 "Your soul is asking you to experience greater depths of love and acceptance, and of being present only to the moment at hand. Your personal journey into a more stabilized rendezvous with the Divine is well underway, as you begin to further dignify the miracle of Life. Your next step is at hand, prompted by the past several months of experience. You are unable to be distracted. &lt;p /&gt; 														Your attention has been gotten making you able to be fully present with what is, just as you were with the birds, the planet and all of humanity just last week. Please bring the same momentum of gratitude with you now. Gratitude is not mutually exclusive to pain. Separation of any sort is no longer acceptable in the bandwidths of energy you choose to abide in.&lt;p /&gt; 														Last week while riding the high waves, you felt love, you felt peace, you felt Oneness. You felt God. This moment calls for the same and reaches further into you for acceptance for what is. Your call for deepening is upon you. Seek nothing else. Apart from nature, the world external has been losing its sparkle for you for some time; let it be, for now. Walk further and further away from the illusion that lines the walls of a world that bears no illusion. &lt;p /&gt; 														Everything you will ever need is contained in the moment you are in.&lt;br /&gt; Did you know you can see the entire Universe in the present moment? Look carefully. Feel fully. Be present. Become a stranger to yourself.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Take note of the silence of your mind, and the peace in your heart now that you are resting in Me and the present moment we share together. All is well. Answers to your quietly asked questions are arising in you, without effort, each time you go deeper into the stillness that lives in the Presence of the moment. &lt;p /&gt; 														 Many of you are ready for a deepening of yourself in order that more of the Divine Descent may occur and the Presence and Acceptance of each Divine moment may impact you with all of its Life contained within it, as the past and the future melt into nothingness, for indeed neither contains Life.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Your future, all of humanity's future is predicated on the present moment, and the Presence, love and acceptance each brings to it. Your authentic world will be filled with the wisdom of the moments, not the ages, but the moments. Receive each deeply; contemplate only with your heart and then in Divine consciousness move into the next moment. Should you feel impatient at the slowing speed of your life, be grateful, as you begin to realize what you have left unfinished. Mastery is no small feat. &lt;p /&gt; 														This year will ask nothing less of you than your full Presence, your Love and your Acceptance. Through each, you will make your journey home. You shall bring Heaven to Earth and attain enlightenment. There is no other way Beloveds, nor a year in which you will be more strongly supported.&lt;p /&gt; 														You will see opportunities appear at your every turn. Open your Divine eyes, and your Divine hearts. Lay down your resistances and interpretations. Be present. Let your mind rest. Enter a new game of existence. In this game, there is no loss. In this game there is a treasure; an exalted state of being that is intoxicating.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Now you know the answer to your many 'why's.'&lt;p /&gt; 														 Know you are being blessed, and know you are indeed a blessing."&lt;p /&gt; 														Copyright Maureen Moss 2012&lt;br /&gt; Please share wherever you wish keeping message, website &lt;a href="http://postlink.www.listbox.com/1128271/bac3e8875ded11603a65e8c5193e9190/21790543/49b923eb?uri=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tYXVyZWVubW9zcy5jb20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.maureenmoss.com&lt;/a&gt; and author intact.&lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

She always brought my son and I home for Christmas or came to where we were and she always made Christmas special.&amp;nbsp; But since she is gone now, and my son has left, it is just me.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Over the past 5 years I have done what I could to attempt to celebrate the holiday, feeding the homeless one Christmas, watching a movie with a couple friends, walking in the snow, meditating, and I value those different experiences.&amp;nbsp; I appreciate how this loss and aloneness has led me to go deeper into solstice and Christmas and find that spark of light within myself and my life, however it is at the moment.&amp;nbsp; And I realize there are others all over the world who are alone this day...and certainly plenty of people surrounded by family and cursing it!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There is a delicate balance in learning to accept what "is", find the gift in it all, allow change, and yet also allow and acknowledge the loss, the empty places, and to do it with grace.&amp;nbsp; Without my sense of God, Christ and other beings of light supporting me through these times, I'm not sure how I would survive...but this light and love that I feel inside and surrounding me keeps me going, keeps me imagining a new life, a new way.&amp;nbsp; It keeps me holding and nurturing this immaculate concept, this seed of hope that I maintain in myself for the world and for me.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So my wish for Christmas 2011, is to feel joy, feel peace, no matter what else I am feeling today, to be able to swim the turbulence of grief and loss, and still express the love and sweetness that I am, and feel comforted.&amp;nbsp; My wish is for a magical opening that returns family to me, but a family of honesty, honor, respect, continuity, commitment, forgiveness and deep love.&amp;nbsp; These are values I base my life on, and have worked to expand in all areas of my life.&amp;nbsp; No matter what has happened or what happens in the future, I know that love is the only truth and this is what I extend to my son, to the world, to myself.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I wish for a world where everyone is respected, differences are embraced and celebrated, as we learn and grow and expand by creating a bigger opening to allow in others and their different ways.&amp;nbsp; I wish for a world where everyone has a warm, comfortable home; clean and hot water; plenty of food to eat; meaningful work; a loving family, community, country and world where they feel welcomed, appreciated, safe and supported; a strong sense of their own divinity, self-worth and power to create the life and world of their dreams; a deep connection with Spirit in whatever form is comfortable for them; confidence to live their truth; peace within them and all around them; and much joy, magic and fun to lift them up.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; And so, I extend these wishes to all of you, and to myself!&amp;nbsp; May we all find joy within no matter our circumstances and be able to extend that joy out to others.&amp;nbsp; May we all find that peace within and send it out to each other, extending the olive branch to create peace everywhere.&lt;p /&gt;Love to you, &lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

In the ancient text, The Essence Gospel of Peace, it states “ Peace is the key to all knowledge, all mystery, all life.”&lt;span style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;21 years ago I was living in a small Northern California coastal town.&amp;nbsp; My neighborhood reminded me of the powerful novel &lt;b&gt;SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION&lt;/b&gt;, by Ken Kesey.&amp;nbsp; As I’d take my daily walks through the fogged in neighborhood, I ‘d pass sign after sign impaled in the yards stating, “We support the timber industry”.&amp;nbsp; The small communities lining the coast embodied the timber/environmental clash so vividly described in that novel.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Months before, I had been asked to be interviewed on a local women’s radio show.&amp;nbsp; The topic I chose was “Inner Healing and how it relates to Global Healing”.&amp;nbsp; At the time, I was working as a massage therapist in a chiropractor’s office.&amp;nbsp; One of my clients was a young man who had moved out from the south to make peace buttons for a local company.&amp;nbsp; Although his job and his political activism spoke of peace, the extreme tension I felt in his body spoke of an ongoing inner war.&amp;nbsp; I began to observe this dichotomy in myself and other clients, along with the already divided community.&amp;nbsp; The day we declared war on Iraq ended up being the day of my interview.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;As war broke out in that country, war broke out in my town as the local mayor and city council declared the town a draft free zone.&amp;nbsp; Opponents stormed the town hall, an enormous American flag was erected upon the approach to town, and all the yard signs were replaced with new ones stating “We support America”…and….&lt;i&gt; we’re on the air, welcome Katelon to discuss “Inner Healing and how it relates to Global Healing.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;I felt like I was in the twilight zone and all the mayhem further underscored this study of mine.&amp;nbsp; There I was witnessing war in the body of this young man, opposing views and near riots in our town hall, &lt;b&gt;SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION&lt;/b&gt; in my neighborhood and bombs dropping across the seas as a TV reporter stood next to a board drawing little x’s and o’s like a football play to explain the loss of life many countries away.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Over the years I have continued to explore this theme as I work to release old limiting patterns of lack, illnesses, and aloneness in myself.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes I am able to love what is here, or what I perceive to be lacking, embrace the lessons and provide the gift of peace to myself, as I open the space for healing to happen.&amp;nbsp; Other times I am in the ring, working on my left hook, ready to punch out the offending lack of fruition, career struggle or another Saturday night spent alone.&amp;nbsp; A few years ago this occasional fighting position was literally put in my face as I took a detour to work.&amp;nbsp; I ended up driving past a 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade fistfight in the middle of the road. Because I haven’t seen a fist fight since my 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade year, I was left to ponder again &lt;i&gt;Where am I at war in my own being, what am I fighting?&amp;nbsp; Peace?&amp;nbsp; What am I giving and receiving?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;As I examine this wrestling with my psyche I am seeing it on the outside again, too, as my neighbors, fellow countrymen/women and world members draw the lines and continue wars.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;One of the therapies I do is called, Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT).&amp;nbsp; In this therapy, I work with a person’s high self to research and clear negative programs, conditioning, beliefs, etc. that are limiting the person and restricting the flow of good through their bodies, relationships and lives.&amp;nbsp; This work is done using a pendulum, dowsing various charts and connecting with the person’s high self to research the soul’s records.&amp;nbsp; Whatever needs to be cleared is then identified and with the assistance of the high self and spirit, it is cleared.&amp;nbsp; The limiting energies are then replaced with positive ones, moving a person out of self-punishment and self-limitation.&amp;nbsp; Relationships can be researched as well, clearing destructive patterns that can be limiting the relationship and the individuals.&amp;nbsp; Christ referred to this high self as “the father within”.&amp;nbsp; Hawaiian Huna refers to it as Aumakua or higher consciousness.&amp;nbsp; What is seen so often in this work is how much people limit themselves through their thoughts and judgments brought forth from (depending upon your belief system), past lives, genetic codes, world energies, childhood experiences and the entire creative process in itself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;A few years ago, a man called to ask me to use SRT to “GET RID” of a woman he is in business with.&amp;nbsp; He explained how this woman was attempting to take over his business and he wanted her gone.&amp;nbsp; I explained that I’m not a hit man but that I could work with his high self and spirit to clear them and their relationship, allowing for a new resolution.&amp;nbsp; The work succeeded and the woman called him, with positive news and wanted to get together to find a healthy resolution they could both be comfortable with.&amp;nbsp; Instead of rejoicing in this turn of events, he was so attached to his anger that he chided me for not getting rid of her.&amp;nbsp; I felt saddened by his response, yet I was led to look at what I was just wanting to get rid of in my life, rather than be willing to negotiate with, forgive, and create a space for something new to appear?&amp;nbsp; I had to look at where was I limiting myself? I inquired again, “Peace?&amp;nbsp; What am I giving and receiving?”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;I watch in childlike awe each year as the days get shorter and shorter and darkness descends, leaving sunshine, that I so love, a memory.&amp;nbsp; And yet, I attune to the surrender of the trees as they gently release their leaves, plants die and seeds are deposited deep in the soil to wait and rest until the light comes again.&amp;nbsp; Most of the world religions celebrate this return of the light.&amp;nbsp; I think of Mary, in the Christian tradition, as she gestated a child within, holding that immaculate concept for him as she faced many outer challenges. Certainly, she must have felt the urge to fight, the call to struggle or defend.&amp;nbsp; I certainly did as I carried my son, and then went on to raise him alone through all the challenges we faced. Don’t we all, whether we are carrying a child, a dream or concept? And, yet, each of us can carry this immaculate concept for our children, our dreams and desires.&amp;nbsp; Each of us can carry that seed of peace and continue to hold it in our hearts for the world and ourselves.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;The days may be dark, the world may talk of war and torture and try to keep us focused on fear and our desires/dreams/challenges may threaten to pull us into an inner or outer war and yet there are methods and therapies that we can use to release this inner negativity and replace it with harmony.&amp;nbsp; I do believe that we have the power within us to return to love, just as yearly the days grow longer and the light returns.&amp;nbsp; I do feel that each step we take toward negotiation, dialogue, healing and bridge building within ourselves, our families, our communities, does reach out and effect global change.&amp;nbsp; So, I encourage you to ask yourselves, “Peace? &amp;nbsp;What are you giving and receiving?”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br style="" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Katelon T.

He often talked of revolution as the solution, and I talked of spiritual revolution because along with my long time activist path, I have always walked a spiritual path, inquiring deeper and deeper to find the truth.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I argued that in order to truly change our world, and provide a lasting change, change would need to take place within each person or else it would just be changing who ruled over whom. He didn't talk to me for three days as he said my politics stank.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But did they?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Right now, there are revolutions seeming to take place all over the world, as people rise up to end the reign of vicious dictators and end oppressive governments.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I celebrate these revolutions but mostly because I feel it is the spiritual revolution within each person that is rising up to say "no more" to being ruled by power over, greed and unjust policies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I recently attended a socialist meeting, a first for me. The people there were kind, dedicated, intelligent people.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was an interesting experience, because although I have worked with Central American refugees during the US's oppressive covert wars in Central America, in order to provide them shelter, help with jumping through all the legal loopholes to get documented, education and care; picketed against wars and the School of Americas, I seem to now be led to a more inner path of spiritual revolution.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So although I admired these people there, I knew it wasn't my path anymore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I also support all the Occupy movements going on now around the world, as people come together in peaceful protest to wake up the world to the need to end this long reign of power over, greed and exploitation that has brought so much poverty, violence and destruction to the people, creatures, water, land and air around the world.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I believe that each person needs to listen within and decide how best he or she can contribute to this transformation that is taking place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For some, it may be taking part in a protest, for others it may be quietly meditating and focusing on a healthy, peaceful planet, and heart.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Each time we face that unjust nature within ourselves, that desire to condemn, to judge, and replace it instead with self-love, peace and love directed to others, that ripples out and effects the entire planet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I think about the words to describe this movement...revolution, reconciliation, reformation, rebirth and transformation.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I believe we are in the process of truly re-claiming that which we truly are, which is One.... one with all that is, one with the divine, one within and all around us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I recently read the wonderful book THE SHACK.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many fundamentalist Christians denounced it as going against the bible, as not being dogmatic enough.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I loved the book for those very reasons as it rose above dogma and pictured a very human, loving and transformational experience for the main character through his interaction with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The author created these very tender scenes of God, Jesus and the Holy spirit being in relationship with each other with love, gentleness, honor and respect and invited the main character to participate with them and his life this way as well.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Ok, so God was personified as a sassy big African American woman, Jesus as a plain looking carpenter and the Holy Spirit as a rather ethereal woman, but for me, it made these interactions more real and understandable. I feel this is what spirituality is really all about; transformation is really all about… loving ourselves, interacting with our world in this loving, honoring manner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So this is my path now as an activist, to occupy my heart and body with love, respect, and honor and to carry this into every interaction I may have in the world.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I may or may not pick up a protest sign again, but I'd like to have the biggest “sign” I carry to be my love for the world shining out brightly, to light my way and the way for others. This is what I strive to do in the healing work, coaching and workshops I offer for others, too.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Each person has to find their own path, their own way to contribute to their own transformation and that of the world around them.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I have found my way now.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If I can help you in any way, please let me know.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am sending out much love and healing energy through these words.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Thank you for taking the time to read them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Blessings, Katelon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

Thank you. &lt;p /&gt; 															You have filled the Heavens and Earth with your many dimensions of Love, the stars, the moon, the sun and the oceans, with the rhythmic activity of the tides, to assist in bringing us into balance. I now acknowledge your Presence in all things and inside of me, and I thank you.&lt;p /&gt; 															You are opening the doorway to the 11-11-11, giving us each an opportunity to change our spirals of evolution and be done with duality and polarity, and I thank you. I will not take this moment in human history lightly. This I know is a magnificent collaboration with you Dear God, and I say yes, and I thank you.&lt;p /&gt; 															 Dear God, help me to collaborate with you more willingly and hear you now in an even deeper way through my heart and my Oneness with You and all You created. Help me step up to awaken fully now, with LOVE, True Love, Sacred Union, and One Heart as my guidance as I do my part to incite an excitement of Unity never before felt on this Planet. Help me to remember there is no other way. &lt;p /&gt; 															&lt;strong&gt;This is the Way. I pray for the strength, courage and wisdom to love myself beyond any of my misperceived limitations.&lt;p /&gt; 																 Dear God thank you for the open doorway on 11-11-11 that leads us deeper into our awakened Oneness and our map into the New World.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p /&gt; 															I touch my heart, and I know you are here and I know I am here. When I touch my heart, I know We are here, and nothing can separate us. That is Oneness, and that is Love. Just to know you live inside of me, I know how much you love me. Thank you.&lt;p /&gt; 															I vow to remember that always, always, always do you love me. In that I find my peace and restoration. I say with confidence, I AM LOVED. I AM LOVED. I AM LOVABLE and I AM WORTHY, because I Am, because you created Me and you brought me to Earth to change its history. Dear God, I say thank you, again.&lt;p /&gt; 															I come to you now to ask only for your grace, for myself and all others. It is a simple prayer. I have no other needs.&lt;p /&gt; 															Let the peace that passes all understanding descend upon me and all of humanity, on the 11-11-11 and each day thereafter as we open to receive that peace, and the love of all of Creation during this momentous moment in history.&lt;p /&gt; 															 In this moment of history help humanity feel the inrush of love from the Angelic Realm, The Galactic Realm and all of Cosmic Consciousness that is of Your Light and Your Love. Let us feel Your Grace. Let the Christ Blueprint be activated, now!&lt;p /&gt; 															I bless my brothers and my sisters for their plights, their tribulations, and for their courage. From this day forth may we all be reminded to consciously love each other so much that nothing on this Planet will ever be the same, again. Let the suffering end, beginning with me. &lt;p /&gt; 															In stillness and in confidence, I shall exhibit my peace and my strength as I grace the lives of all I touch, including myself.&lt;p /&gt; 															I go now, God, to demonstrate you as Me, as One.&lt;br /&gt; And so it is. And so I let it be.&lt;p /&gt; 															Please take a breath.&lt;p /&gt; 															Copyright Maureen Moss.

To do this meditation, I would suggest you first write up a list of all the challenges you are facing now and have in the past year, your issues, disappointments.&amp;nbsp; Then I recommend you sit with this list, fill yourself up with love by focusing on your heart and it's power and loyalty, think of someone or something that you truly love, feel that gratitude and then flow that love and gratitude out to your list.&amp;nbsp; Yes, those challenges are hard, and yet there are gifts in them, you have grown because of them....and now it is time to honor them, bless them and let them go!&amp;nbsp; You can either burn your list or tear it up in small pieces and flush it!&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Next, I invite you to write a list of what you'd like to now experience in your body, your life, your world, for you and the world.&amp;nbsp; This list you will hold during the meditation.&amp;nbsp; After the meditation you can do what feels best for you to do with the list...plant it like you would seeds for a flower, burn it to release it to the ether for manifestation...whatever feels right for you.&amp;nbsp; And now, trust that these will blossom in your life for harvesting!&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Let me know how you like the meditation and what changes within you and your life!&amp;nbsp;

He decides to hold a funeral party for himself before he dies so that he and others can tell their stories about him. The movie touches on themes of redemption, unrequited love and reconciliation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;The movie led me to think about how we punish ourselves for so many years, and often many lifetimes, over things we feel badly about or think we should have done differently.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sometimes it is truly situations and events that we could have/should have handled differently, but at times it is just our miss-perceived guilt.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Some religions teach there is a God that inflicts judgments upon us, but it seems to me that we inflict far worse judgments on ourselves. The truth is that usually, if we could have done things differently we would have, but depending upon our circumstances, our limited skills and or abilities at the time, we made the best choice we could have at the time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;In my life and my work as a alternative therapist, I have seen how this guilt, grief and judgment gets held in our bodies and often leads to accidents and illnesses.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The energy it takes to hold such thoughts of others, and ourselves can become a prison just as this hermit chose his isolation as his prison. We experience wounding from another or ourselves and then spend the rest of our lives creating energetic "Band-Aids" to hold this memory inside. Pretty soon, all of our energy can be used up just to hold all of this down so we don't have to face it or express it. No wonder so many people in our society end up on anti-depressants and chronic fatigue.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Scientists have shown that we hold memories in the cells of our bodies, and it takes great energy to keep these memories contained.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Often we even forget about this stockpile of old memories and reactions but our bodies don't forget.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;They create our present and future based on the past.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Or if we do remember them, they gain so much power over us that they become the boogieman in the closet.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So in my work and in my life, my strategy is to bring light and love to these old feelings and memories, to heal them, release them, set them and myself free.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Life is really meant for joy, giving and receiving love. We are truly meant to be free.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Yet we have allowed ourselves to live in bondage for so long, and we keep others in bondage as well.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;All the great spiritual teachers have demonstrated that love and forgiveness is the answer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;So whether you have me assist you, use some of the meditations and techniques on my website, seek out other healers or techniques, I encourage you to take this journey of reconciliation and redemption.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It certainly makes life more gentle and joyous!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

I had dropped into deep despair, and felt emotionally suicidal.&amp;nbsp; I was led to Corrine for therapy and give thanks every day for that connection.&amp;nbsp; Not only did she save my life at the time, and get me through that horrible time, but she also assisted me in restoring my dignity and put me solidly on a journey to re-own my self-worth and value.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We became deep friends and kept in touch over the years.&amp;nbsp; She knew my son, too, so she remained a valuable witness to my life, my growth, my struggles and joys, as a Mother then, and a Mother now with an estranged son.&amp;nbsp; She continually reminded me that I had been and still remained a loving daughter, Mother and woman, when criticisms ran high and I had the option of drowning in other's judgments of me.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; These last several years, we talked frequently as I committed to calling her regularly.&amp;nbsp; She always took time every call to applaud my growth, remind me that of all her clients I had gone deeper in my introspection and further in healing than all of them, and did it mostly on my own.&amp;nbsp; She remained a constant friend and cheerleader even to the end.&lt;p /&gt;And....she valued my calls and friendship as well. In spite of having three sons, and a sister, I seemed to be the only one that sent her Mother's day cards, birthday cards, have a great day cards.&amp;nbsp; It saddened me that she didn't receive more love and attention, especially toward the end as she valiantly stayed alive in spite of intense pain and the many ailments she had suffered over the years. She was determined to stay alive to care for her husband through his debilitating illness.&amp;nbsp; I am so grateful her pain is over and trust that her husband will be cared for in some way by his children.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Corrine was a model of flexibility, compassion, devotion, fierce love, humor and determination.&amp;nbsp; I will always carry her in my heart and remain in gratitude for all we shared.&amp;nbsp; May she now rest in peace, comfort and joy.&lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

This is more of a sharing and hopefully supporting as I witness more and more of us becoming deeply aware that we would be wise to become quieter and go deeper inside of ourselves to clear up 'loose ends' as the months whiz by careening us towards the end and the beginning. &lt;p /&gt; 														 I don't know any one of us that is not feeling like a different "being". We recognize now, for ourselves, not by the words of others, that life, as we have known it for eons of lifetimes truly is over, and there is no going back; a blessing beyond what most might be ready to acknowledge.&lt;p /&gt; 														 What I notice is an urgency that seems to surround most to quiet down, let go of even a modicum of that which doesn't please us, and pay attention to what the quiet whispers inside of ourselves are telling us. The quiet whispers are unique for each of us, though hold a golden thread of similarity for all of us.&lt;p /&gt; 														What that means for me is a few more weeks of completing two large projects (which I will share next month) and then taking uninterrupted "me" time to be quiet, recalibrate, and re-focus my energies. It means a lot of time in nature, both trees and water, where it seems I gain my greatest sense of peace and connection.&lt;p /&gt; 														For years, as most know (at least in part,) I have been putting out a vast amount of energy, in a number of directions, to truly be of valuable service to this transition, from one world into the next, for both humanity and this beloved Planet. Most recently, teaching "Birthing The Heart and Mind of God" was the icing on the cake for me in many ways, and a conclusion of sorts for this leg of the cycle.&lt;p /&gt; 														Indeed, it has all been my pleasure and honor. I have taken my part very seriously and now choose to add a healthy dose of taking it joyfully, and balanced as well.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I, like many, am now looking at the distinctly different ways that resonate within our souls, to &lt;strong&gt;'be'&lt;/strong&gt; as a Divine New Human. Each of us requires making our own personal adjustments in order to be harmonized, recalibrated and vibrationally sound within and without for ourselves first, and then we shall be far more effective and valuable for being in service and support to humanity and the New World.&lt;p /&gt; 														We have a task and we made a promise to make ourselves ready for the downpour of the new Codes of Light and of Love that will weave themselves into the temple of our beings, if we have created a clear container for them to enter into, in the months and year ahead, particularly on the 11-11-11 and the 12-12-12. &lt;p /&gt; 														Personally it is important that I am certain of what I require to be a pristinely clear vessel of Love and Light in order that I am made ready to be "reset into the ocean of Light," as Metatron has so beautifully spoken of.&lt;p /&gt; 														In addition, I have also become better apprised of the fact, that when we truly take care of ourselves, by our very actions we are taking care of all others. This to me now is an important aspect of being in service in an entirely new way.&lt;p /&gt; 														The protocols for living in the New World are completely unique to the ones we have lived since we have taken on human form. We, as humans, have lived very unnatural lives. That will no longer be supported. The New World does not allow for any one of us to live against The Laws of Nature or the New Codes of Conduct. Each are a Divine and moral imperative for the New Human to embrace fully. &lt;p /&gt; 														Knowing precisely what is called for and the ways in which to arrive there, (which is actually so much simpler, and clean than what we have to this point been conditioned for,) still requires our deep attention, curiosity, fluidity, a deeper surrender to the Great Spirit that we house inside the temple of our beings, a truthful and abiding love for Self and all others and a much greater capacity to fully embrace joy, happiness, harmony and peace. These are no longer just lovely words. They are a mandate for passage into the New World.&lt;p /&gt; 														Only when we have 'prepared our mansion on Earth,' which is our Selves, will further Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth be passed on to any one of us. We must exhibit the attributes of each of the above. No longer are there corners or masks to hide behind. Everything is transparent now to those with eyes to see. We are being watched over carefully by Agents of Higher Consciousness, and there is a knowing of where to place the new keys, and when.&lt;p /&gt; 														In closing, we have a responsibility for ourselves now to sustain the ways of our Higher Evolution and hold the frequencies of the greater bandwidths of energy that beckon us forth. We have a large task at hand, bringing Heaven to Earth, clearly through ourselves first, thus making us able to lend a solid hand to each other. &lt;p /&gt; 														So for me, off I go for the rest of this month, (and more) to re-focus, recalibrate and solidify my own state of being so I may continue to enhance the new Divine Plan upon Earth and be in greater service upon the Path of Love to myself and all others in an even more effective manner. How about you? What are you up to?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 												&lt;div align="center"&gt; 													&lt;br /&gt;I wish you each love, joy, blessings, clarity and abundance. &lt;br /&gt; May Grace follow you wherever you go. Know you are loved!&lt;p /&gt; 														&lt;strong&gt;Namaste,&lt;p /&gt; 															 Maureen Moss&lt;p /&gt; 															 President of The World Puja Network, LLC&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://postlink.www.listbox.com/999941/96450e90a3309853dcc0c1e3740b2f99/20290745/7e836863?uri=aHR0cDovL3d3dy53b3JsZHB1amEub3Jn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; http://www.worldpuja.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://postlink.www.listbox.com/999942/bac3e8875ded11603a65e8c5193e9190/20290745/7e836863?uri=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tYXVyZWVubW9zcy5jb20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;http://www.maureenmoss.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; E-Mail: &lt;a href="compose?to=Maureen@worldpuja.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Maureen@worldpuja.org&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Or: &lt;a href="compose?to=Maureen@maureenmoss.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Maureen@maureenmoss.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/recalabrating-by-maureen-moss"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-7991368536952949231?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/7991368536952949231/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/08/recalabrating-by-maureen-moss.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7991368536952949231'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7991368536952949231'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/08/recalabrating-by-maureen-moss.html' title='RECALABRATING by Maureen Moss'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-8446380008426317355</id><published>2011-07-18T15:42:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-18T15:42:53.490-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Riding the Roller Coaster of Change and Transformation!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;div class='p_embed p_image_embed'&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/empowerandbalance/scR8TLuBJdxGrf6xlAJY4JmsoKdpMHfGu0hzjfkxZlW6wZVbieWPtxs6DDSV/Sunflower_red.jpg.scaled.1000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sunflower_red" height="667" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/empowerandbalance/sEVlEBDasf9BfomsgLK1drkhKg6liUGeWJdMBiwcmAwwQHzTYoPxnUcYsAhk/Sunflower_red.jpg.scaled.500.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;table border="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt; &lt;p align="center" style="text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Whew!!! I don't know about you but these huge energy influxes coming into the planet feel to me like an intense roller coaster ride...sometimes thrilling and blissful and sometimes bringing up some of the scariest, darkest fears I've had in a long time!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I did talk to one person I know, asking him how he is making it through all of this and he looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about. But he is the only one. Most of my friends have been experiencing the same ride that I have been on and are feeling somewhat confused and exhausted by it. How about you?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For me I can have days of feeling so trusting, so positive, knowing all is well, all will be sunny in the end and other days are spent sobbing and feeling like things are never going to change and this darkness is the best I can expect.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sometimes it is the body pain that hobbles me and other times it is the emotional or spiritual pain that brings me down for the count.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So how can you and I make our way through this with as much grace and ease as possible, with the fewest scars?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am finding grace in summertime, as I stroll along the paths of my favorite local park, or drive to other favorite nature spots.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Seeing the bursts of color after the cold, wet, gray winter of Seattle, lifts my spirit and reminds me that seasons come and go, things do blossom and sweetness can reach my soul once again.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Inspired by flowers like the one accompanying this article, I am strengthened by seeing the strong yet flexible stalk that holds this flower upright through the rain and wind, bringing it nutrients from the soil, reminding me that we are supported by Mother Earth. My joy returns as I notice the bright face of the flower as it reaches and opens to let in the sunshine, just as the light that is constantly being shone on us from Spirit can uplift us.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I breathe deeply, spreading my arms, like leaves, to drink in this renewal, storing up nurturing to see me through any possible future storms of doubt or confusion. I set my toes free from shoes so I can wiggle them in the sand and soil, planting my own roots, feeling my connection to this beautiful planet and my commitment to assist in it's transformation. As I learn to care for myself, I learn to better care for the earth. As I learn to love myself more, I learn to love the earth more. As I drink in the sun, the soil, the summer, I fill myself up so that I have more to give to others, and lend them a hand to guide them through this maze of change.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;So please join me in remembering who we are,&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;remembering Spirit and Mother earth who feed us, and the creative energy that we, too, hold inside that has the potential to burst forth in blossoms of beauty, just as nature does.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Let go and&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;let’s enjoy the ride!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

This month I'm keeping it simple and straightforward, after a month of eclipses that appeared to complicate, irritate, and once again hurdle us across the boards of emotions. Not for nothing, each created the perfect scenarios for breakdowns and breakthroughs, once again, allowing for another upgrade in consciousness. &lt;p /&gt; 														As a result of the back to back eclipses, 9 day waves of consciousness, solstices and more, It would be easy to get complicated and scientific with all that is going on in our DNA, electromagnetic fields and solar systems, though I think straightforward simplicity would be of greater service to the all in the now. Additionally, I have been getting downloaded with so much information that I find it difficult in the moment to put it into a reasonable format appropriate for a newsletter, rather than a twenty-page article or a class. So here's my offering for now.&lt;p /&gt; 														With only 18 months left of this cycle, once and for all time, for the love of ourselves, our children, our ancestors and this beloved Planet, we must pull the plug on our former notions of ourselves, our materialism that we believe gives us our security and even happiness, and put our focus on where it needs to be, right now, on our proper identity and our responsibility to it.&lt;p /&gt; 														Though spoken repeatedly, in all sincerity, we have no more time to toy around with ourselves. We must grab hold of our proper identity, (know thyself) clearly understand ALL of its aspects, and begin living in deep and abiding humility, rapport and joy with it. That's the deal. &lt;p /&gt; 														If we are to make an ascension in consciousness, (which is the ascension, and where it all happens is, &lt;em&gt;in consciousness&lt;/em&gt;,) this indeed is the clarion call. &lt;p /&gt; 														 If we are willing to do this, (live in rapport with our proper identity), we will be saying an unequivocal yes to the ultimate deep cellular initiation that changes the trajectory of life and catapults one into the highest state of consciousness that a human being can embody, thus the ascension.&lt;p /&gt; 														Predictions still fly as to the very small percentage of humans that will actually make a substantial ascension by the end of 2012, stemming from a case of mistaken identity, old world consciousness, not being able to hold enough Light, resisting love for Self and each other, and simply not being willing to give up who they are not, coupled with a healthy dose of "if only my circumstances would change, and if only other people would change."&lt;p /&gt; 														 All of the reasons are true, however, if each would allow themselves to open their minds, open their hearts and imbibe in the stillness to remember what must be remembered, and then activate that remembrance, the grand Lights would come on, the Love would flow, and then guess what would happen? :) &lt;p /&gt; 														It's time to embrace the magic of who you are.&lt;p /&gt; 														 														&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOU ARE THE CREATOR INCARNATE. Take a breath. Don't let your mind get into the mix. You are the Creator Incarnate. Period. Take another breath.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p /&gt; 														How could you not be, would be the appropriate question? It is you that created your reality, and always will. There are no energies either here or to come on this Earth that will change that very fact. You are the only one in charge of your Life, now, then and forevermore and even more as a result of the time you have chosen to live in. So what would that then make you? The Creator, Incarnate.&lt;p /&gt; 														In and through the hundreds of incarnations that you have lived upon this earth, you have been giving birth to your true Self through your various roles that you chose to play that were conducive to finding yourself on the inner planes, one lifetime at a time. Now, for your final role you get to play God, the Creator Incarnate, because you are! And, it is the only real role there is left to play. Any other role would simply be an unsupported illusion.&lt;p /&gt; 														Just as your Mother/Father Creator God chose to have a myriad of experiences through you to experience every possible aspect of its human creation, you have done exactly the same. &lt;p /&gt; 														You chose to have a myriad of experiences through yourself to experience every possible aspect of human Creation, and now you can experience being the Creator, The Divine One, God on earth, the moment you choose to, and activate your choice.&lt;p /&gt; 														You are God. You are the Creator. You Are the I Am. Behold the meaning "I Am That I Am." That expression has always told you the Truth of who you are, though through reverse truth and many religions it was twisted and turned, called blasphemy or never spoken of at all.&lt;p /&gt; 														Jesus, always spoke that Truth to the masses. "My Father and I are One." In saying so he wasn't separating himself from all others, it was quite the opposite, as he attempted to impress upon each, to embrace that same Truth, that indeed there was no separation from &lt;em&gt;being&lt;/em&gt; Creator Source, only a shift in form.&lt;p /&gt; 														He knew that when we embraced that truth then, "greater things than I shall you do" would be made real to each of us. Why greater? It is due to the unified field that would be created through this acceptance of Truth that would have miracles springing up like daisies in springtime. &lt;p /&gt; 														Please remember that though Jesus, by design, had a unique pathway carved out for him, so did you. Oneness having many parts.&lt;p /&gt; 														 He was expected to remember who he was, and in turn act in accordance. He was to discover his Father's/Mother's vibration, feel it at his core and consistently vibrate at that level. So are you to do the same.&lt;p /&gt; 														He came into his full power, liberation and glory under adverse conditions. So have you.&lt;p /&gt; 														He came to know who he was through the power of love. And you are coming to know yourself in the same way, for there is no other way to know thyself. &lt;p /&gt; 														He came to love all others by loving himself, knowing if he were to inspire others, and make the world a more peaceful place, he must first turn to himself, The Creator Incarnate, make the changes internally, and then turn his radiance outward into the world external.&lt;p /&gt; 														You are tasked with the same. There is no other way that this world can change, nor can you.&lt;p /&gt; 														Jesus had an early advantage, perhaps different that you. Once he remembered who he really was, he rarely forgot and when he did, he had a host of helpers to right him on his path.&lt;p /&gt; 														You did not, until more recent times, when the Cosmic Councils of Consciousness, countless Angels and Archangels, endless numbers of Earth Angels and your very own I Am Presence, have made it undeniable that they are working diligently on your behalf to head you into the direction of greater Truth about yourself. &lt;p /&gt; 														You are to know that all that you need to remember and stay on path and in your truthful identity, you do indeed have. &lt;p /&gt; 														In addition, the coding and the rewiring of you are taking place in ways we don't need to address further now, to widen the portal of your being, and open all of your channels so that more Light and more Love can be downloaded inside of you. &lt;p /&gt; 														Trust you are being taken care of and in order for the often-mysterious work to be effective, you must take care of yourself. Your part is to clean out the rest of who you are not, sync up with your proper vibration, and claim, &lt;strong&gt;with authority and action&lt;/strong&gt; your rightful identity, in order that your claim may be brought to Life and you can move on and play a new role in a new consciousness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YOU ARE THE CREATOR INCARNATE. CREATE. And so it is.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p /&gt; 														 Copyright Maureen Moss 2011.

Jeffereys &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.empowerandbalance.com/"&gt;Seattle Life Coach&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http:///"&gt;www.empowerandbalance.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: navy; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"CLARITY OF INTENTION FOR ASCENSION"&lt;br /&gt;(to be written and spoken on the Summer Solstice)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dearest Hearts,&lt;br /&gt;As always, I pray you are well.&lt;br /&gt;I share this with all of you, as it has clarified for many in my class, "Birthing The Heart and Mind of God," their own clarity of intention for their personal ascension. And, it clearly calls forth many of the Great Masters to assist each. I suggest that this be done using the energy of the powerful Summer Solstice on June 21, 2011, an energy that when used consciously can take an idea or concept and spiral it into an action.&lt;br /&gt;It is also the time to clarify, purify, and release all the remnants of lower consciousness and resistance that would interfere with the merging of your human and Divine bodies, and your human and Divine hearts. Concurrently it is a time of conscious, personal restructuring. Remember you are your Ascension made manifest. Remember you are the change that the world has long awaited, and as such your role in it is vital, regardless of how large or small you may perceive it, it is so. &lt;br /&gt;For many, there are still more shadows coming up from the bottom of your emotional barrels. Allow whatever needs to, to rise up and move on in &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;love and light&lt;/span&gt;. Nothing is wrong. You are doing beautifully. You are courageous, and honored and loved by all of the Cosmos. Keep going, you are in the midst of your glorious re-birth, your ascension.&lt;br /&gt;Everything unlike who you truly are is more than ready to depart from your current reality, so you can hold more Light, preparing a place for your transcendent Self to join you here on Earth, at long last. Let it go, with joy. How beautiful it will be to no longer react to life from an emotional state, though bear witness to it from a neutral state. Liberation!&lt;br /&gt;Each and every one of you has done a brilliant job living out the many parts of your human self that you committed to over hundreds of lifetimes. Now, no more pieces and parts. Now comes the ascended and Divine you, unified. Now, no more polarity as you move yourself into higher bandwidths of energy. Here comes the clear, well intentioned, and cohesive Divine you.&lt;br /&gt;You are like the butterfly in its final stages preparing to emerge, surrendering to a complete transformation, as it becomes clear, not on where it's going, but who it is becoming. This is a potent year, and a potent month of June, with three eclipses and a summer solstice when the final stages of who we were, transcends into who we shall be. This month sets the stage for the 11-11-11. Liberation! &lt;br /&gt;Fear nothing, resist nothing, accept everything and most importantly love and meet yourself where you are at, along with all others. Be patient with yourself, and all others. Be clear that we are each going through our own transitions and we must love each other through the final stages of release and re-creation.&lt;br /&gt;Since we are in such a potent energy field this month, I invite you to write your own Clarity of Intention Statement for your personal ascension (example below.) Write down what your Ascension looks like, feels like, is like and then read it, ten times in the morning, ten times in the daytime and ten times before sleep.&lt;br /&gt;Know it to be true, trust it to be so, and act lovingly in accordance every single day until you become your own Ascension made manifest on the Earth Plane.&lt;br /&gt;Before you write your intention use the invocation below to power it up significantly, and to have witness to it. (Please feel comfortable to add or change any of the names in the Invocation that you resonate strongly with.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Invocation&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;From The Light of God That I AM, From The Love of God That I AM, From The Power of God That I AM, I Call Forth, Divine Creator Source, Lord &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Melchizedek&lt;/span&gt;, Lord Metatron, Adamus, St. Germain, Lady Nada, Lord &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Sananda&lt;/span&gt;, Mother Mary, &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Quan Yin&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Archangel Michael&lt;/span&gt;, the Divine Essence of our &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Beloved Mother Earth&lt;/span&gt;, and my I AM Presence.&lt;br /&gt;I invite each of you as witness to my Intention of Clarity for my personal Ascension.&lt;br /&gt;I invite you to surround me with your field of energy and lay over me the Ascended Heart and Mind of God. I open myself wide, to receive.&lt;br /&gt;I ask each of you, along with your teams and legions of Light, to Overlight me as I make my final adjustments to clear, love, strengthen, surrender and deeply honor myself during these closing times of one cycle and the opening of another. I open wide, to receive.&lt;br /&gt;I ask to be gently reminded in each moment that I stray from the &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Mind of God&lt;/span&gt;, so I may course correct myself with compassion for myself and all others.&lt;br /&gt;I ask to feel each moment that I stray from the &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Heart of God&lt;/span&gt;, so I may know that feeling, and then, by my own initiative, to swell my heart to infinite and conscious God proportions regardless of any circumstance.&lt;br /&gt;I ask that the vibration and frequency of the Creator Source, God, enter into my body now.&lt;br /&gt;I ask that the vibration and frequency of my I AM Presence enter into my body now.&lt;br /&gt;I ask that the vibration and frequency of all of my Highest Soul aspects on all levels of creation come into union, and enter into my body now.&lt;br /&gt;I ask each of you, great Masters, to powerfully and lovingly hold the space for me to rise up to my greatest Self, free from the burdens of my former lower nature, so I may make my grand ascension by allowing the full descension of the Great Divine to enter inside of my being now. &lt;br /&gt;With deep appreciation I accept your love, your support, your guidance and wisdom as I take your vibrations deeply into the temple of my being now.&lt;br /&gt;And so it is, and so I let it be.&lt;br /&gt;(Please take a breath, and feel and honor who and what you have called forth.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Statement of Clarity (Example)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I _______________ (please state your name) with full intention, and open and humble heart, stand before each of the Beings of Light called forth asking to gracefully and clearly receive all that I require to make my full ascension.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I will resist nothing from this day forth. I commit to looking deeply at each experience from this day forth as a blessing sent to assist me in making my ascension. I will identify the blessing, and embrace the blessing, consciously.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that as I enter into a new cycle of time, I will consciously build my vibration of love, peace, tranquility, joy, multi-dimensional awareness and Divine capabilities of co-creation and collaboration through my own efforts and love, and with your help.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I intend to walk this earth clothed as a human though living as a compassionate Master. &lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I will Steward my energy field consciously toward myself and all others from this day forward.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I will consciously merge my Divine Feminine with my Divine Masculine in a sacred ceremony of balance and harmony, love and honor. &lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I with deep love accept my earthly body fully and will consciously fill it with Light, Love, and Peace, daily.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I will fulfill all of the prerequisites required to birth the Heart and Mind of God in me to attain the highest levels of unconditional mind and heart ever known to humankind.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I am willing to release my structured mind in each moment and consciously place myself in the flow of potentials that exist for me in God's Mind.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that my ascension is of the greatest importance to me and that nothing will distract me from its pursuit.&lt;br /&gt;Humbled and honored by the presence of my Creator Source, great Masters and our Beloved Mother of Earth, a Divine Goddess, and my very own I Am Presence, I set out this day on a new journey, a focused journey, a dedicated journey, a liberated journey that will free not only me but this Earth and many more of humankind.&lt;br /&gt;I clarify that I am indeed a God in human form, and from this day forward I shall live as such.&lt;br /&gt;May all experience that I need to complete my journey here on Earth be released in grace and that my intention be heard in all of Heaven and in all of Earth.&lt;br /&gt;Beloved I Am. Beloved I Am. Beloved I Am.&lt;br /&gt;Please take a breath and rest for a few moments in the silence, in the vibration, in the energy, in the momentum, in the flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt; Copyright 2011, Maureen Moss.

I believe they are guided by positive intent. It is my deepest prayer that soon, we as a world, will move beyond this belief in separation, greed, power over others, scarcity and lack and truly live in peace in all ways.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At the same time, I am aware of the immense light, love and energy that is flooding onto our planet now, and rising up in our hearts. This is pushing all the darkness to the surface, around us and within us. So as wars rage in numerous countries, they are raging in our own beings, as we have to face this darkness within.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Through a recent interaction with a friend, I was reminded of the drama triangle of victim, persecutor, and rescuer.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It stopped me in my tracks as I finally understood how I got drawn into playing it, first feeling like the victim myself as I was drawn down into the hole of victim hood my friend was playing out, then moving into attempting to be the rescuer, so I could possibly save myself and her, then being perceived as the persecutor as I lastly attempted to stop the victim behavior.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Of course none of the positions worked for me, and I see how they really weren't working for her either.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Afterwards, it lead me to look at my own life, how I have played this game in the past, and possibly still get engaged with it.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I see how damaging it is to everyone involved.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I had to face that dark part of my past where I was quite the drama queen and played out the victim in so many areas of my life. I felt great sadness at how this had permeated many areas of my life and my health, and how I had drawn others into this game, then blamed them for their behavior.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At the same time, it allowed me to meet my past self with compassion and forgiveness, to meet the memory of those past people with the same, and to "ask" them for forgiveness as well, releasing all of us from those hurtful and dis-empowering roles.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I saw how this woman was playing out all three roles within herself and saw the same in the past me.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So much self-criticism, as we berate ourselves for our actions, thoughts, feelings, which only digs a deeper and deeper hole.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The energy involved reminds me of that character "Pigpen" from the comic strip "Peanuts", as he had a swirl of dust around him every where he went.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What a toxic environment!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I see though, how it is this same triangle that plays out in our wars, as a country claims either the superior persecutor role, or the rescuer who is going to save some "poor" country from itself, or the victim that is helpless to change what is going on and needs rescuing.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I have worked for many years to free myself from this career of playing the victim.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I don't judge myself for it because I see that it is what most of us are raised with and it is shouted to us daily with the media's pronouncements of us needing a certain car, perfume, clothes, hairstyles, politics, religion, government, belief, on and on, in order to be acceptable, successful or lovable.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My way out of it and into empowerment has been to accept 100% responsibility for what is in my life, meet myself with love and compassion, forgive others and myself and recognize my oneness with Spirit and all that is. I'm sure I will still receive lessons in this dance of drama but I feel myself becoming more and more free.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is my prayer that as humans, we all free ourselves from this dance, so that we create a world of responsibility...the ability to respond...with peace, love, compassion and honor for all.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I pray for a world without war, a world that dances the dance of joy and fulfillment, as we learn to care for the earth and all the creatures upon it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

														As always, I pray you are well. &lt;p /&gt; 														 I know many of you are realizing that the constructs of the third dimensional world is truly losing its grip on you, and as a result many are dwelling in what some call the void, (and I have now decided to call, the glowing mystery). Looking closely once can see the twinkling of Light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel. &lt;p /&gt; 														More than two decades ago, I heard what I call the Voice of God say to me that I would "learn to live like a mystic, and enjoy it." I would say we are all learning to live like mystics, and though it's not always enjoyable, it certainly takes the monotony and repetitiveness out of all of our lives as the constructs of time and our rigid patterns of behavior vanish.&lt;p /&gt; 														 With nothing tangible to lean on, there is something rather exciting (when it's not daunting) about leaning on the massive Invisible Energy that positions itself in the rarified air all around us, as we move through experiences we have no go-by for, and that demand we change our perceptions if we are to keep moving forward. &lt;p /&gt; 														I've come to realize that changing my perceptions has become an everyday occurrence, vital to my well-being, and authentic self realization. In doing so, I have been stretched, and stretched myself far beyond my former comfort zones, giving my awareness the chance to become heightened and deepened. I have opened to deep meaning outcomes of experience, rather than surface ones and new lights are beginning to dawn on me.&lt;p /&gt; 														 With each new experience my question to myself is what do I choose to experience inside the experience I am having? &lt;p /&gt; 														We are now able to easily enter into realms of our advanced state of consciousness, or as I teach it, into the Mind of God, where gleaning higher wisdom and moving energy wherever we wish it to go is a Masters game. &lt;p /&gt; 														To choose to change every experience we are having into one we would prefer is the epitome of self realized consciousness.&lt;p /&gt; 														The way this works is that each time you have a brand new experience, first hold that experience as sacred and fresh. Next, breathe into the experience, just noticing it. Then, find the vibration of neutrality inside of yourself before you step further into the experience.&lt;p /&gt; 														Compare your experience to nothing of the past, and rush nowhere into the future with it. Finally, quietly ask yourself, the higher part of yourself, the God of yourself, "how do I choose to experience this experience?" &lt;p /&gt; 														That question will begin to break the trance of former choices, presumptions and reactions. Patterns you've held for your lifetime will begin to melt, as you begin to embrace the Masters that you are, the powers that you have, and the true stewardship you hold for your life.&lt;p /&gt; 														You choose. You are the Creator. You are able to move the energy in whatever direction you desire. As we conclude this cycle of time remember that you are no longer at the effect of anything. You are the effect, and you affect all outcomes.&lt;p /&gt; 														Experience is always going to ask you to make choices. Use your powers wisely and choose up. Use your powers, not your reflexes of the past.&lt;p /&gt; 														In this, the ninth wave of frequency, the conscious convergence and the year that illuminates everything, whatsoever you choose now, is going to greatly affect the experience you have next. Take your life slowly. Breathe.&lt;p /&gt; 														As our new humans are being born, we are creating the foundation for our next incarnation, in the bodies we inhabit, in a new cycle of time on a more refined Planet of Earth.&lt;p /&gt; 														We are in our very own formative years informing ourselves how to grow up as an individual and as a species in the context of the One.&lt;p /&gt; 														Re-writing your life, as you would choose to have it, no longer told how you should have it, is your birthright. Experience is a lovely catalyst for the change you wish to be in the world. What will you choose for yourself? Your choosing is in your experiences.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Copyright 2011, Maureen Moss.

So I decided to lead a free tele-conference call each month for those choosing to join me.&lt;p /&gt;We will start with sharing successes we have had in manifesting and allowing those goals and dreams we have been intending, along with gratitude for what is already in our lives.&lt;p /&gt;Then I will talk about intentions...how they work, creating them, etc. And we will take some time to silently create an intention.&lt;p /&gt;I will then lead us in a powerful meditation to open us up to receive the fulfillment of our intentions, aligning our body and being with our intentions. I will be sending energy and inaudible sounds throughout the call as well, for balancing and empowerment. I will record the meditation during our call, BUT not any of our sharing.&lt;p /&gt;Then we will share our intentions in our "circle" and affirm them for each other. There is power in numbers, power in coming together energetically to create a support system, power in having others "see" us experiencing our deepest desires fulfilled. These can be intentions for ourselves and/or our world.&lt;p /&gt;Afterward there will be time for any questions or sharing.&lt;p /&gt;This is a chance to harness the new moon energies that occur on May 2nd along with a chance to build community and support for yourself and your dreams.&lt;p /&gt;This call is absolutely free! I love the opportunity to share with you and assist you in creating the life you desire!&lt;p /&gt;Contact me if you have any questions! Please feel free to share this with others whom you might know of that would enjoy this as well!&lt;p /&gt;Please message me if you plan to attend!&lt;p /&gt;Before the new moon, check out this link for more information about the aspects for this New Moon AND a great prosperity technique to use for New Moons.&lt;p /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dakara.com/newmoon.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.dakara.com/newm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;oon.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings, Katelon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

Whether she sends the letters or not, she is there as a witness to their joys and sorrows, and yet has lost her sense of humanity that would lead her to follow through and send these letters on.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of her customers is a young woman who is sending a letter to the Father of her son, as her son looks on.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She gets killed and the boy seeks the letter writer out, so that he can go find his father. The young boy has also hardened his heart in his grief and destitution.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;They journey together to find this father, sometimes as enemies and distrusting each other and it is this physical and emotional journey that is at the heart of this movie, and it's beauty.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Watching this movie led me to look at past choices I have made, ways I have closed my heart due to circumstances and events that have taken place. At times the woman character seems to lack any reason for us to sympathize with her or expect redemption. And yet, the movie shows that we all have those loving places within us, there is room for redemption in all of us.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At this time on the planet we are being called to open our hearts even more.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I have been a long time activist so it is easy to blame a corporation, a government, a corrupt leader, and act for change.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And I still feel this is valid work, and yet, as a person long schooled in metaphysics and the law of attraction, I understand that this "outer" only reflects me as well, places within me that are carrying limiting beliefs, thus needing to act out in certain ways. I truly believe that as I change myself, it also changes what takes place in the world.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;So I am led to look at what places within me have I been unwilling to have sympathy for, and see as unworthy of redemption? What happened in those events and circumstances past to close my heart in places?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And what will it take to love those places open and allow redemption to flow in? What will it take to soften these hard places of fear, distrust, pain and sorrow?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I feel so much loving energy filling the planet now as we are given these resources to love ourselves free, love the world free, even allowing this energy and love to flow into our darkest places.... internally and externally. &lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Can we love the dark within us? Can we see those parts of us as just the scared, misinformed parts they became and bring them to us to love and comfort as we would a small child?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I feel that this is our deepest work now, to allow our hearts to be opened, embraced, accepted and loved, and then allowing that love to flow out to the world, to the things and people we agree with and to the things and people we do not.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Are you ready?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Are you willing?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If so, say, "YES" and feel and notice the love flowing in and setting you free!!!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Your contribution to yourself and the world is greatly appreciated and I witness your gift now!!!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And while you are at it, check out the movie! The main actress received an Oscar nomination for best actress and the young boy actor is amazing!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Blessings, &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Katelon T.

Before you do the meditation, write out an intention and keep it in mind during the meditation.&lt;p /&gt;It is best to write out an intention so that it is stated in the now, stated positively, IE: rather than...I am not sick....instead...I am now healthy and strong, and keep it concise and brief so that you can easily remember it.&lt;p /&gt;It is best to add emotion to the intention, and a visual, so imagine you have what it is you are intending...see it, feel it, all the details. Just take 5-10 min. a day and state your intention and see it happening, hear what others will say once you have achieved it, etc. Make it real for yourself.&lt;p /&gt;The link below will lead you to Oronjo. com. Click on the "next" button and that will lead you to the second page with another "next" button, then you get to the page where you can download the meditation.

I have had so many conflicting feelings I wasn't certain which were mine, which were from the mass consciousness and which were as a result of all of the geophysical activity.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I soon realized they were all mine. There was no separation or parceling it out. I was to be with all of it.&lt;p /&gt; 														 One minute tension, the next tears. Confusion followed by clarity, peace followed by unrest, feeling raw and then feeling like a butterfly must feel when it's first drying off and begins to realize it is about to begin a brand new existence. Where to fly first?&lt;p /&gt; 														 For me, I wasn't quite sure what to do, how to be, or what to think. I was all over the boards, and just needed to be, without judgment about myself until I landed somewhere. And then came the monstrous earthquake, and I seemed to land.&lt;p /&gt; 														 When the earthquake in Japan hit with such velocity, the only thing I could think about was how brave my brothers and sisters across the globe were to have complied, at some level, to help the rest of the world wake up (again) more fully to the only thing that matters, love, and to the only expression that will get us from one world to the next, love.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Though this certainly wasn't the first event attempting to garner our attention, it was a massive one that could not and cannot be ignored, with more to come. We will be reminded over and over and over again until we get that the only reason we are here, is to love.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Though there are rumors that Japan's earthquake was "man-made," and others, that reported otherwise, it's irrelevant to a large degree and another distraction. At the end of the day, it's still about us that are left standing in the moment, being made ready to be birthed into a completely different life, where love rules above and beyond all else.&lt;p /&gt; 														 This earthquake is about every one of us, not just those that fell in the quake. Right now prayers for Japan are not enough, though by all means necessary. We must pray and send love and healing Light, and then we must go deeper than each.&lt;p /&gt; 														 We must look to ourselves. Every single one of us is being positioned to be the change we wish to see in the world. How will we be different? What will you do differently in this new life? What poisons and toxins, discontent and story will we each transmute that still lurks in the shadows? How humble are we willing to become to transmute our own disassociation and discord, with love?&lt;p /&gt; 														 We are the regenerators, the guiding forces behind a new reality.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Understandably we are all fixated on the reports of where the next quake will hit and what to do to prepare, however there is more. Much more. Once prepared to take care of our needs, and the basic needs for our families and animals, we must turn our attention to love at a level we have never participated in before.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Love is the reason we all came to this Planet at this time. That is something we can all understand that connects us all, besides the God of our understanding. In the beginning we were One, then we split apart to have experience, and now we are being glued back together again.&lt;p /&gt; 														 As we all know by now we are standing on the threshold between worlds. Please take a moment to ask yourself what does that mean to you? What does that mean, besides yippee a whole new world is about to emerge? We must go deeper than that.&lt;p /&gt; 														 As I write this, I am living in one of the states that has been predicted will be hit by a massive earthquake within the next week. I have taken a breath, and noticed I am not afraid; actually that is the least of my concerns, perhaps oddly enough.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Yesterday, I calmly went out to get supplies, should this occur, though I did so with an eye on everyone else, as they too gathered their supplies.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I looked at each one that I passed or was near in the Coop market through a different lens of perception, my heart. I watched and then quietly sent a stream of love to each. These are my brothers and sisters. These people, many of whose names I don't know, as I have lived very quietly here, matter to me, really matter to me. What can I do, I asked myself, to show them love after 10 years of living in the same town with them, and not even knowing many of their names?&lt;p /&gt; 														 Someone randomly came up to me who happened to be the very first person that I met 10 years ago here. He looked at me deeply before he spoke. And then he said, "You're different somehow. You're not in a "blur." How interesting I thought, that I had been seen as a "blur." No offense was taken at all, and none was meant. I understood it.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I have put my nose to the grindstone and worked so hard and fast for so long, I must indeed be a blur to many. We chatted a bit longer, talked about the earthquake that is reported to occur here and gave each other a big hug, for the very first time. We meant it.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I finished gathering what I came for and my attention turned toward one person in particular. We were both directly across from each other at the check out registers. I knew her name, and I also knew that she had been ill for quite some time, and recently went back to work, part-time. I knew that financially things must be tight for her. Just watching how she scanned her wallet to pay for her items, let me know that. One can learn a lot, by simply noticing.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Without thought, I walked over to her register with my debit card in hand and swiped it to pay for her purchases. I said nothing and I needed no response though she thanked me profusely. We looked at each other, with loving tears in both of our eyes, hugged each other and I walked back to my register, paid for my purchases and left.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I noticed that my heart that had been aching for weeks was exploding with love, finally. Not that there wasn't love before, but this was a new love, a sincere, 'there is only one of us love.' It was different. I always knew that, I haven't always felt that.&lt;p /&gt; 														 The ride home was deeply silent. I looked at every mountain differently, every house, every person and dog that walked the edges of the road. I felt as though I were bursting a seal that had been on my heart for a very long time.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I heard the God of my knowing gently say to me, in part "it's taken you a long time Maureen to let go of your conditional heart. You have held on to your heart and the way you loved as you warred your way from one life into another. It was understandable, before. Now, it is not acceptable.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Your planet and all of humanity is birthing Love right now, in spite of the fact that everything is shattering in front of your very eyes. Do you understand that? &lt;strong&gt;You are all birthing Love&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;p /&gt; 														 If you notice, it has gone beyond job loss, and foreclosures. As a collective you were ready. Everything on the Earth plane is in reverse to Truth. There had to be a grand fall for a new evolutionary possibility and you are in the midst of it.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Evolution slows down for no one, and it touches everyone. All of humanity must now reach into new fields of consciousness as you have just personally experienced. Each one of you are tasked with severing your relationship to the genetic template of human consciousness and the trite justifications for it. This is what Jeshua meant when he said, "the wheat will be separated from the chaff." The time is upon you, now.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Everything will continue to shatter, break, blowup and fall down until the only thing left is love. This was all part of the Divine plan. It was not meant to hurt anyone. It is meant to heal everyone, in due time. Many were determined to play their role, well, and they are safe with Me.&lt;p /&gt; 														 There is only One of you. There is only Love and as One Love, your deep realization and permanent shifts of perspective will occur out of the burning embers on your earth.&lt;p /&gt; 														 When it all falls apart, you will all come together. Tell everyone you know to buy their supplies, find their ways to be as safe in the world external as possible, though above all else to blatantly show their love to each other in every moment. Many on your Planet will only be here for a short time. No one knows who will stay and who will go. Wouldn't it be appropriate now to freely give your love to everyone?&lt;p /&gt; 														 Love like you've never loved before. Restrict yourself from nothing. Love everything and every One. Crack your own hearts wide open and put yourself in your rightful place in order that you will have a greater understanding of the events of a yet untold history.&lt;p /&gt; 														 There is a promise that has been written for all of you. Some may say it was written in the stars, though it was written in your story.&lt;p /&gt; 														 You will rise beyond your wildest imaginings. You will awaken to your hidden goodness, you will share joy and love with each other in an honorable, Divine and desirable manner, and you will be held in the arms of My Love, as you move from one reality into another. That has always been My promise.&lt;p /&gt; 														 And so it is that wherever the Earth quakes next, the waters rise or the mountains spew, remember what is most important and be the grandest expression of Love you can imagine yourself to be. Better yet, act as you think I might, and love as you imagine I love."&lt;p /&gt; 														 Wherever you are, know you are loved and watched over.&lt;p /&gt; 														 I love you my brothers and sisters.

So I decided to lead a free tele-conference call each month for those choosing to join me.&lt;p /&gt;We will start with sharing successes we have had in manifesting and allowing those goals and dreams we have been intending, along with gratitude for what is already in our lives.&lt;p /&gt;Then I will talk about intentions...how they work, creating them, etc. And we will take some time to silently create an intention. &lt;p /&gt;I will then lead us in a powerful meditation to open us up to receive the fulfillment of our intentions, aligning our body and being with our intentions. I will be sending energy and inaudible sounds throughout the call as well, for balancing and empowerment. I will record the meditation during our call, BUT not any of our sharing.&lt;p /&gt;Then we will share our intentions in our "circle" and affirm them for each other. There is power in numbers, power in coming together energetically to create a support system, power in having others "see" us experiencing our deepest desires fulfilled. These can be intentions for ourselves and/or our world.&lt;p /&gt;Afterward there will be time for any questions or sharing.&lt;p /&gt;This is a chance to harness the new moon energies that occur on April 3rd along with a chance to build community and support for yourself and your dreams.&lt;p /&gt;This call is absolutely free! I love the opportunity to share with you and assist you in creating the life you desire!&lt;p /&gt;Contact me if you have any questions! Please feel free to share this with others whom you might know of that would enjoy this as well!&lt;p /&gt;Please message me if you plan to attend!&lt;p /&gt;Before the new moon, check out this link for more information about the aspects for this New Moon AND a great prosperity technique to use for New Moons.&lt;p /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dakara.com/newmoon.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.dakara.com/newm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="word_break"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;oon.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessings, Katelon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

When I would go to my Presbyterian bible class for kids, I would tell of my psychic and spiritual experiences and they would assure me they weren't real. I couldn't understand this as the bible stories talked of Moses and the burning bush and he was revered and yet I had Jesus and the gang in my backyard and I wasn't believed?!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I loved Jesus so much, and I loved God, never questioning any of my experiences until they were questioned and dismissed by my bible schoolteachers, parents and doctors.&amp;nbsp; It left me feeling sad and confused.&amp;nbsp; My parents were telling me to face reality all while taking me to church to supposedly believe what the teachers and bible told me and yet they denied my direct experience of Jesus and God.&amp;nbsp; It just didn’t make sense to me, nor did it honor me or support my spirituality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;So luckily, around age 8 or 9,I had the strength, courage and wherewithal to ask to leave their church and I began my journey through most of the Christian churches in our town and later, Quakerism, eastern religions, forays with the American Sikhs led by Yogi Bhajan, Rajneesh, Islam, New Thought Christian churches and my ongoing love of Dances of Universal peace and Sufism.&amp;nbsp; Dances of Universal Peace was created by Samuel Lewis, a Jewish rabbi, a student of Ruth St. Denis, the mother of modern dance and a student of Hazrat&amp;nbsp; Inayat Kahn, the man who brought Sufism to this country.&amp;nbsp; I grew up also surrounded by Native American influences and studied and attended many pueblo dances and Navajo ceremonies.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;I still receive judgment from some as “living in darkness” and “not having Jesus in my heart”, which is amazing to me, as I have had direct experience with Jesus, have lived my life completely devoted to God and spirituality, even if it doesn’t fit the mold of traditional religions.&amp;nbsp; So it was with great relish that I dove into the book, &lt;b&gt;Reluctant Pilgrim, &lt;/b&gt;by Enuma Okoro.&amp;nbsp; An African Catholic father and an African Christian mother raised Enuma in Africa and America.&amp;nbsp; She talks about her childhood fascination with crucifixes, her love for the ritual of communion, her deep love for Jesus and God and yet her ongoing struggle to really live as she sees a Christian should live…going to church regularly, being a part of a church community and even wanting to help the poor. She describes her attempts to find a church, her cringe worthy discomfort with helping the poor, and her other perceived shortcomings with sincerity, humor and even at times whining!&amp;nbsp; I loved her honesty and self-depreciating humor. In that way, she reminded me of another favorite author, Anne Lamott.&amp;nbsp; And what grounds this book is the fact that Enuma got degrees in religion, and yet still she struggled to find the path that honored her devotion and yet were in integrity with her needs.&amp;nbsp; Throughout it all she weaves in stories of her romantic life, career struggles, family strife and especially her female friendships that support and lift her up. At the end, it seems like she has found a “home” that truly does provide the comfort and belonging that she is seeking.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;This book validated my sometimes strange to the world search to take my deep passion and devotion to God and find a place of belonging that honors my understanding and experiences. I know that the work I am to do completely supports Jesus (Jeshua) and God.&amp;nbsp; It has been challenging, lonely and painful to travel this path often alone, often judged and rejected by even those closest to me, but still I have kept on because it is hardwired within me to surrender to this spiritual path.&amp;nbsp; So now, like Enuma, I am ready to dance in joy, in this space of belonging, serving God and humanity in the light, with love!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Katelon T.

Yahoo!!!!!&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"YOUR ADVANCED INTELLIGENCE"&lt;br /&gt; Maureen Moss&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 												&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Dearest Hearts,&lt;p /&gt; 														As always I pray you are well.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Now that we have put our feet into the first quarter of 2011 it appears as though one of two things is happening in personal lives, in a more 'highlighted' way, and each for good reason.&lt;p /&gt; 														For some, you may notice that you are still hitting some old walls; that things you've been rattled about before, still rattle you; your mind continues to drive you down bumpy roads, or you continue to find yourself in a state of frenzy or fear about the future. &lt;p /&gt; 														In direct opposition to that, you may be noticing that you and your I Am Presence (your dynamic expression of Life) are becoming One with each other. You might notice you are forming a trusting partnership with other aspects of yourself that hold an advanced frequency of awareness of your true Divine identity and potential. You are not afraid of the future, and you are consciously taking steps toward your &lt;em&gt;preferred future&lt;/em&gt; and your &lt;em&gt;preferred future &lt;/em&gt;is taking steps toward you.&lt;p /&gt; 														Hopefully, as a result, you are noticing that you are becoming more peaceful, neutral, grateful and dare I say joyful about being on Planet Earth. No doubt you've noticed that life is moving you, instead of you moving it. The pushing that you once thought was necessary, has stopped. You are in the flow of Life.&lt;p /&gt; 														 For those still hitting walls, realize that nothing is wrong, you are just being nudged a bit harder to open your mind to the fact that there is more to your life than meets your mind or your eye, and more to your being, than what you can physically touch. You are tasked with inviting your greater Life into you. It begins by making contact with your Advanced Divine Intelligence. &lt;p /&gt; 														Take twenty minutes, slow down, breathe, re-focus (inward) and be absolutely present mentally, emotionally, and energetically to the moment you are in. This is key. &lt;p /&gt; 														Notice everything about the moment you are in, not what's behind it, nor what &lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be in front of it. Notice that the moment you are in has no walls, has no fears. Really notice that. Only perception &lt;em&gt;outside&lt;/em&gt; of the moment has walls and fears. Take a breath.&lt;p /&gt; 														Walls appear each time you step out of the present moment, and use old consciousness laden with phantom fears, to gain clarity or attempt to advance yourself in a new way. It cannot be done. Your Advanced Divine Intelligence knows this and is attempting to 'persuade' you to make a connection with it to assist you.&lt;p /&gt; 														It knows how to lift you up energetically and perceptually. It knows how to move you into a different direction, using the materials and circumstances you've got to work with. It knows how to break down walls and barriers of fear. Your lower mind does not. &lt;p /&gt; 														 Your unique Advanced Divine Intelligence, which resides beyond physicality though is connected to you in physicality, is impulsing you to stop pushing so hard to control Life in the 3D world or to know what's next. It's communicating with you every time you hit a wall.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Consider this:&lt;p /&gt; 														 The young man in Egypt who led the charge for liberation, Wael Ghonim, is a perfect example of working with Advanced Intelligence in spite of profound odds. With love and determination he worked with his advanced intelligence and turned a desperate situation into a stunning victory. &lt;p /&gt; 														He fought for his dreams of liberation, he fought for his people's liberation, and he fought for his country's liberation. With intelligence, precision and love he led the charge and together, they took down an entire regime whose tactics were all based in fear.&lt;p /&gt; 														 The only thing he knew when he began his mission, is that he wasn't going to lose his dreams. He saw his full potential, he knew the extent of his commitment, he reached for a higher intelligence and he took action, ingenious action that then changed the landscape of an entire country. He used his heart, his passion and Divine Advanced Intelligence.&lt;p /&gt; 														He peacefully rose above everything he had been conditioned to, and everything that seemingly stood in his way. He gently nudged millions of others to do the same. He was calm and brilliant in his approach. He and the people of his country proved what was possible, using advanced intelligence, and a passion for what could be.&lt;p /&gt; 														I can't remember being so riveted by one man's story, for it was all of our stories, being played out in such an obvious manner.&lt;p /&gt; 														Now, you are in prime position to integrate your Advanced Divine Intelligence, a very real and accessible aspect of yourself that you may not physically see though is in your reality, in higher bandwidths of frequency and in its light-filled energetic formation. It awaits your conscious contact with it.&lt;p /&gt; 														 We can all trust that either an advanced intelligence which we have accepted, or a lower one which we have accepted, is guiding us in every moment. From one or the other, we create everything in our lives from walls to peace. &lt;p /&gt; 														In other words, &lt;strong&gt;we are guiding ourselves in either an advanced manner, or an archaic one&lt;/strong&gt;. Breathe that in for a moment. It's a game changer. &lt;p /&gt; 														Each one of us is a grounding point for the expression of the Advanced Intelligence of the Divine. We have a responsibility to let that Intelligence come through us without interference, and lead us to liberation as we complete a cycle that has hit the ceiling of its growth potential. &lt;p /&gt; 														We must cooperate with our Intelligence, not push it away nor ignore it. Simultaneously, we would be wise to focus on our &lt;strong&gt;full&lt;/strong&gt; potentials, (not how to get around the walls) even if we don't know what our full potentials are in the moment. Pretend. Imagine. Act as if. Create and extend an invitation to your Advanced Divine Intelligence to come and get you and show you the way.&lt;p /&gt; 														This year is one of respite, and conscious integration. It is about being, not doing. It is about meeting and merging with new aspects of yourself, and it is about taking down old walls, opening up the mansion and letting the Light in. &lt;p /&gt; 														Later on, there will be more climbs to come, though not nearly as steep, for you will be prepared, as you touch even higher and more advanced fields of consciousness throughout next year. &lt;p /&gt; 														For now, we are lovingly tasked to cooperate with Divinity to use a disciplined &lt;span class="yshortcuts" style="cursor: pointer;"&gt;continuum of consciousness&lt;/span&gt; that will hold you in place so you can hear the more advanced aspects of yourself speak to you, merge with you, and quietly guide you into the future you. Take a breath. It's quite awesome, actually.&lt;p /&gt; 														 Copyright 2011, Maureen Moss.

He did some funny impersonations of how we catch a negative thought, latch onto it, and then use it to beat ourselves up with it.&amp;nbsp; He pointed out how it is Nazi thinking in how what we do to ourselves is so horrific.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I have seen this in my son, my family, my friends, my clients, and myself.&amp;nbsp; It affects our physical health, our relationships, our finances, and how we treat others as well.&amp;nbsp; That is why I have written so much about healing ourselves and coming to peace within us, how that then creates a positive affect on the world and helps contribute to a more peaceful, loving world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I'm sure you have experienced walking into a room where people have been angry or arguing with another. The negative energy is palpable.&amp;nbsp; Since those emotions create chemical reactions in our body, you can understand how this affects our physical well-being.&amp;nbsp; Masaru Emoto has demonstrated this with his water experiments, how thoughts change the form of the water crystals.&amp;nbsp; Since a large percentage of our body is water, these negative thoughts directly affect our body.&amp;nbsp; And like attracts like, so the more we focus on these negative thoughts and emotions, it seems like more show up to join the dance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyText" style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Here are a few techniques you can use to assist you in more deeply loving yourself and clearing the negative self-talk:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; Yesterday, &lt;b&gt;Jack Elias&lt;/b&gt; suggested you could just dance with it.&amp;nbsp; Low self-esteem?&amp;nbsp; Dance the low self-esteem dance.... dance free form, or waltz, or whatever, as you announce here you are feeling low self-esteem.... or whatever thought/feeling is up for you.&amp;nbsp; Pay attention to what else shows up. Old memories that hold that emotion or belief for you, other beliefs that have supported that emotion, ...whatever it is, just be inquisitive. This is an opportunity for healing and for releasing these negative emotions in a playful way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;2.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;Louise Hays&lt;/b&gt; suggests using affirmations and mirror work.&amp;nbsp; I feel that affirmations can be powerful, if you pay attention to the "yeah buts" that often show up as you are saying the affirmations.&amp;nbsp; Your conscious mind will be stating the affirmation "I deeply love myself" and your subconscious might spit up "oh yeah, that's a crock of #! *+!", or stuff you heard from your Mom, Dad, school mates....So pay attention to those, thank them for showing up, love them, too, and keep going. For mirror work, you can look into a mirror and state "I love you" "I appreciate you", you can bow and say "Namaste" the God within me recognizes the God within you.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You can use whatever phrases you need to hear.&amp;nbsp; Your childhood is over, your past lives are over, (although really, the only time is now.... smile) so NOW is the time to be the loving parent to that wounded you and tell yourself all those things you needed to hear, are still needing to hear, and allow yourself to move to that place of owning self-love.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;3. &lt;b&gt;EFT&lt;/b&gt;, emotional freedom technique, is a great tool for shifting the negative self-talk and getting to more self-love.&amp;nbsp; There are places you tap on acupuncture meridian points that physically free up energy that has been held stuck there due to trauma, stress and holding patterns.&amp;nbsp; EFT starts with a set up phrase that accepts and loves where you are right now...."Even though I am beating myself up right now, I deeply and completely love and accept myself" and you can add..."And I am willing to be open to learning to love myself now".&amp;nbsp; That phrase is done while taking the little finger side of one hand and using a "karate chop" motion on the little finger side of the other hand.&amp;nbsp; You state it three times. Then you move on to the various acupuncture points on your body and head, tapping and stating what seems to be real right now...."beating myself up, feeling like crap, no one loves me, I don't even love me", just allowing yourself to be with what you are feeling and thinking right now and then you can move to more positive statements "well, there is that one friend that loves me, sometimes I love myself, what would it be like if I could really love myself?, I like that feeling, "...on and on, until you feel a shift. Then breathe deeply.&amp;nbsp; Other thoughts, emotions and beliefs might come up and then you can tap on them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;4.&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;David Spangler &lt;/b&gt;talked of a wonderful practice of bringing "you" out to sit in front of you.&amp;nbsp; Then think of something or someone you feel love and appreciation for and fill yourself up with that.&amp;nbsp; Then you can pour that love and appreciation into that "you" in front of you, until that "you" is filled up and overflowing. Then you can bring that "you" back into your body and feel the difference.&amp;nbsp; This is a very gentle practice and very powerful.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;5.&amp;nbsp; You can sit in what is called a whole brain posture, a variation of the "cook's hook up" energy medicine posture.&amp;nbsp; You cross your right ankle over your left, sitting or laying down, and then cross your left wrist over your right wrist, turn your hands so they face each other and clasp your hands together.&amp;nbsp; You can start with a release statement, thinking to yourself whatever negative emotion is running for you at the moment, "I’m now releasing all worry, fear and self-judgment". Keep saying it to yourself as you breathe and hold this posture. Then when it feels like you are finished, unclasp your hands and uncross your ankles.&amp;nbsp; Place your fingertips together like you are holding a ball, and breathe.&amp;nbsp; This brings both hemispheres of the brain together to support this belief and release the negative.&amp;nbsp; You can then do the exercise again and use a positive statement " I now deeply appreciate myself just as I am", same posture, and same two steps. &lt;b&gt;Psych-K&lt;/b&gt; and other energy techniques use this hold.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;If you want more information about any of these techniques, there is more information about these people and techniques on the Internet. I have simply been paraphrasing their techniques.&amp;nbsp; Also, I have several meditations and techniques on my website for free.&amp;nbsp; If you have any questions or would like some help, I would love to assist you in clearing anything limiting you from truly seeing what a beautiful and blessed being you are and all that you bring to the world.

Although this meditation contains references to the New Moon energies, you can do this meditation anytime! I apologize for the very brief weird sound in the middle of it, not quite sure what it was or where it came from?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oronjo.com/live/next/?fi=75732"&gt;http://www.oronjo.com/live/next/?fi=75732&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When you click on this link, it leads you to the Oronjo website where you can "purchase" my meditation for free.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Before starting the meditation, I invite you to create one or more intentions for your life, your body, your world.&amp;nbsp; Intentions are best stated in the positive, so if there is something that is bothering you, or you'd like to eliminate from your life, your body, your world, then ask yourself what you'd prefer instead.&amp;nbsp; Rather than say, I don't want to be sick anymore, you might state "I intend that my body is perfectly healthy and whole, vibrating with energy."&amp;nbsp; It is also helpful to state intentions in the present tense, so that what you are intending is happening now....rather than stating "I will, soon, etc."&amp;nbsp; Avoid words such as trying, hoping, wanting, to be, and not.&amp;nbsp; It is also supportive to ask that your intention serve the highest and best good of the Universe and the highest and best good of the world and you.&amp;nbsp; I like sealing my intention with the words "So be it and so it is".&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;For more information on intentions you can check out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.intenders.com/"&gt;http://www.intenders.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So get comfortable, state your intentions out-loud and then you can begin the meditation.&amp;nbsp; During the meditation I lead you through aligning your entire body and being with your intentions and releasing everything and anything that is blocking you in any way.&amp;nbsp; Then I use the image of dry cracked soil in a desert, and a seed within the soil, that holds your intentions, waiting for the rain to come and nourish it, allowing them to sprout.&amp;nbsp; When I do the meditation I envision both the seed as my intentions and myself as that seed, starting out held within what feel to be limited circumstances, blocks and obstacles, and then allowing the rain to come and my intentions to sprout as I am freed of any obstacles, living my divine life.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Most important is to trust the outcome. Hold that space that believes that YOU WILL achieve your dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Enjoy and let me know how it goes!!!&lt;br /&gt;Blessings, Katelon&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oronjo.com/live/next/?fi=75732"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://posterous.com/"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/free-intention-meditation-download"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-7005919724525449518?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/7005919724525449518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/02/free-intention-meditation-download.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7005919724525449518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7005919724525449518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/02/free-intention-meditation-download.html' title='Free Intention meditation download!'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-6323641163670926613</id><published>2011-02-02T14:45:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-02T14:45:47.381-08:00</updated><title type='text'>"GIVE YOURSELF A REPLAY" Maureen Moss</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;table border="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;I received this great article in a newsletter from World Puja, and wanted to share it.&lt;p /&gt;Katelon&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 												&lt;div align="left" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "Beloveds, there are barely words to describe the times that are ahead of us in 2011. No one will be able to use his or her logic to make sense of anything we are about to experience. There will be no time to think as the months ahead take us to the very edges of our being, and the razor sharp edges of duality. &lt;p /&gt; 														 No one will be able to plan his or her life ahead of the absolute moment they are in... believe it. Not one of us will be able to change one iota of our life by changing anything in the world external, though we might think we have. Those were the days my friends, before, not now.&lt;p /&gt; 														We stand vulnerable now, like volcanoes, waiting for circumstances to antagonize an eruption, to blow out everything that stands between us and God.&lt;p /&gt; 														Being armed with self-love, and the ways in which to activate it in a nanosecond is essential, if we are to withstand the many eruptions that lie ahead. And, if we are to succeed in our ultimate goal of ascension, whose very underpinnings is self-love.&lt;p /&gt; 														Asking for a replay is a powerful way to activate self-love, and one you will find useful in the months ahead.&lt;p /&gt; 														On our heels, days are coming of grace (big one on February 11, 2011) followed by six eclipses and planets changing signs quicker than the &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;speed of light&lt;/span&gt;, along with minds and emotional bodies. &lt;p /&gt; 														You may well redefine the meaning of going out of your mind as you find yourself going from feeling oh so connected, (to several dimensions and God and everyone else on this planet at once,) to where in God's name, is God? (Attempting to make a complete and grand entrance into your, and everyone else's Divine Footprint on this earth plane, is where.) &lt;p /&gt; 														So when is it going to stop? When we are in a resurrected state of consciousness, having fallen deeply in love with ourselves and each other.&lt;p /&gt; 														Utilizing replay is going to help you get there. &lt;p /&gt; 														Each time you find yourself in a moment where you are struggling to love yourself or another, then give yourself a replay. &lt;p /&gt; 														 Whenever you notice you have been harsh, critical and unloving toward yourself (or any other, since it is one and the same) literally say to yourself, "I am giving myself a replay. I am going to re-create this scenario, right now. I am going to consciously act on behalf of myself in a loving way, right now. Through replay, I am going to speak and act toward myself or another utilizing my highest consciousness, my I AM consciousness, right now. No excuses. No delays. &lt;p /&gt; 														 I am going to bring every part of myself that has ever been in creation into one &lt;span class="yshortcuts" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;"&gt;Unified field&lt;/span&gt; of love, right now, in spite of what I have said, thought or done, even one minute ago. I will not justify myself, nor blame any other, any energy, any planet, any &lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;solar flare&lt;/span&gt; or internal flare to move me out of love. Period. I will have a replay, right now."&lt;p /&gt; 														 To help you: whenever an unloving act occurred that involved another, sincerely ask that person to please give you the opportunity to replay something you may have said in haste or in anger, resentment or in fear. Be vulnerable. Be authentic. Be willing. It's all part of self-love. &lt;p /&gt; 														Two things happen when another is involved and you ask for a replay. First, you intentionally place yourself in a higher frequency field, as you have changed energy, and second, without forcing anything, you create an expanded awareness of a re-creative action for another to feel into and implement for themselves. Can you imagine what that consciousness and love could do to shift the planet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Before you hit replay&lt;/strong&gt;, start by taking three slow and steady breaths in and out. Breathe in love, and hold it consciously as it fills your body. Just as consciously breathe out the part of yourself that was unloving. Breathe it all the way out. Take that breath in deep conscious awareness, three times.&lt;p /&gt; 														Without judgment, or justification just notice what was created from you (by words, thoughts or actions) outside of the space of love. And then consciously re-create it as an action of great love, be it for yourself, or another. Behave as the God that you are.&lt;p /&gt; 														As you take this action, you are setting up a new template of Divine behavior inside of yourself, raising your frequencies above the planetary adjustments and getting closer to zero point and resurrection. After all, isn't that why you reincarnated over and over again, for a replay? &lt;p /&gt; 														Alrighty then, here's where you choose the opportunity to replay in every moment so you don't have to keep coming and going so often."&lt;p /&gt; 														&lt;strong&gt;Copyright 2011, Maureen Moss. &lt;/strong&gt;Please pass this to all you know it will serve keeping name, and websites intact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://postlink.www.listbox.com/865608/96450e90a3309853dcc0c1e3740b2f99/20290745/7e836863?uri=aHR0cDovL3d3dy53b3JsZHB1amEub3Jn" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.worldpuja.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://postlink.www.listbox.com/865610/bac3e8875ded11603a65e8c5193e9190/20290745/7e836863?uri=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tYXVyZWVubW9zcy5jb20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;http://www.maureenmoss.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/give-yourself-a-replay-maureen-moss"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-6323641163670926613?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/6323641163670926613/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/02/yourself-replay-maureen-moss.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/6323641163670926613'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/6323641163670926613'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/02/yourself-replay-maureen-moss.html' title='&amp;quot;GIVE YOURSELF A REPLAY&amp;quot; Maureen Moss'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-5148319794476999234</id><published>2011-01-24T17:12:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-24T17:12:29.457-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Shooting raises awareness of disease</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"&gt; &lt;img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/empowerandbalance/uCxwxmupGjyiDzhftJzJpywfvezyEfrGkDiDpfkwAbajEIIuyuhDbIcFBxic/media_httpwwwazcentra_zrGet.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="297" height="140"/&gt;     &lt;div class="posterous_quote_citation"&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.azcentral.com/12news/news/articles/2011/01/23/20110123gabrielle-giffords-jared-loughner-mental-health.html"&gt;azcentral.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Interesting article.

So I decided to lead a free tele-conference call each month for those choosing to join me.&lt;p /&gt;We will start with sharing successes we have had in manifesting and allowing those goals and dreams we have been intending, along with gratitude for what is already in our lives.&lt;p /&gt;Then I will talk about intentions...how they work, creating them, etc. And we will take some time to silently create an intention. Then we will share them in our "circle" and affirm them for each other. There is power in numbers, power in coming together energetically to create a support system, power in having others "see" us experiencing our deepest desires fulfilled. These can be intentions for ourselves and/or our world.&lt;p /&gt;I will then lead us in a powerful meditation to open us up to receive the fulfillment of our intentions. I will be sending healing energy throughout the call as well. I will record the meditation during our call, BUT not any of our sharing.&lt;p /&gt;Afterward there will be time for any questions or sharing.&lt;p /&gt;This is a chance to harness the new moon energies that occur on Feb. 2nd or 3rd, depending upon which calendar you look at, along with a chance to build community and support for yourself and your dreams.&lt;p /&gt;This call is absolutely free! If you love it, value it and get benefit from it and choose to make a donation, you can do that easily via paypal @ &lt;a href="http://www.paypal.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;www.paypal.com&lt;/a&gt; and I will give out my email address on the call. HOWEVER, you are not required to make a donation.

Joao had died suddenly in Dec. The church was filled up, and had an overflow crowd of 700 people spilled over outside along with love and support pouring in from tens of thousands of people all over the world, including me.&amp;nbsp; Darkness and light, flowing forth at the same time in one city!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Even just looking at the tragic event itself, you see the important discussion that has arisen from it, about our ability as a nation, and as individuals, to be able to discuss disagreements while respecting each other's views, rather than using the ugliness of labels and angry rhetoric, and inciting violence.&amp;nbsp; Out of darkness comes the potential for light!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Even before this tragic event, Arizona was in the news for it's I believe, backward immigration policy. I know people boycotting the state because of it.&amp;nbsp; I understand the dilemma of the immigration policy as I grew up in southern Az. My Father hired illegal immigrants for his seasonal cotton picking season.&amp;nbsp; He treated them very well, and I grew up believing that hiring illegal immigrants was normal and that they should be treated as well as any other employee. I saw the value in what they contributed to my Father’s business and to the economy of the country. There were immigrant children whom I went to school with though and I sadly saw the ridicule they endured.&amp;nbsp; I have also heard the complaints that many have about the immigrants who come to our country without visas or work permits, and I understand their concern. So I see the dark and the light of this situation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In 1986, after hearing an inspiring panel discussion, in Tucson, of people who had worked with the Sandinistas, soon after they took office in Nicaragua, I became involved with groups working with Central American refugees.&amp;nbsp; I watched in horror as our government started it's secret war there, undoing all the good that the Sandinistas were doing for the country at that time and forcing them to then focus all their energy, man power and resources to fight an illegal war rather than help the people and the country thrive.&amp;nbsp; I did this work over a ten-year span, working with individuals with horrible scars from torture and some of them with bullets still in them.&amp;nbsp; People just trying to find a way to contribute, earn an income, have a life that is safe and productive. These people came from the darkness of war and terror and yet they are some of the happiest, most giggly joyous people I have ever met….light beings fleeing the darkness of their country’s wars.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I am looking at all of these events and situations that have and are now taking place in my home state, in the town where I went to college and graduated.&amp;nbsp; This is the city where I at one time hiked seven days a week, even sometimes doing two hikes in a day. I'd get my son out of bed, we'd hike for a sunrise, come home and take a nap and then head out again. I explored the mountains, deserts, lakes and streams in all 4 directions.&amp;nbsp; The Santa Catalina Mountains are very magical, and Reddington pass is my favorite spot of anywhere I have ever ventured. So I have these memories and experiences of darkness, mixed in with memories of all this beauty and light.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; My most important memory of this town is that this is the town where I finally chose to live!&amp;nbsp; After many years of off and on depression, from knowing my divine purpose since childhood and yet not having it available yet and the distance between the two leaving me feeling at times very miserable, I reached a deciding moment in Sept. 1986.&amp;nbsp; I woke up in the middle of the night with a severe asthma attack.&amp;nbsp; I woke my son up and told him I was driving to the hospital.&amp;nbsp; All the way to the hospital I was hunched over the wheel, barely breathing, and I knew this was it; that it didn't matter what the doctors did for me, it was up to me whether I lived or died.&amp;nbsp; I argued with myself all the way there. Should I choose to focus on my fears, pain, grief, all the darkness, and thus choose death?&amp;nbsp; I knew that it would be easy to just let this serious asthma attack finally take my life after struggling with asthma for 33 years.&amp;nbsp; Or should I, could I, choose to trust in a future of light, and living my truth, and let myself make it through yet another battle with asthma and choose life?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; When I arrived, I walked into the hospital, and even though I had called ahead to let them know I was coming, they were shocked when they saw me and saw that I had driven myself.&amp;nbsp; I was put into an emergency room and the battle began.&amp;nbsp; As they put drugs into me, I kept leaving my body.&amp;nbsp; I'd be moving to the light and something would jerk me back into my body and I'd vomit, then I'd leave again, and be traveling out, and then I'd be jerked back into my body and I’d have to defecate.&amp;nbsp; I grew up in emergency rooms and had never experienced anything like this, even the one time I died at age 11 and my Father revived me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; After hours of this, they finally had me stable enough to put me in a room.&amp;nbsp; I piled pillows up on top of one of those tables you put over the bed, and barely leaned forward onto them, like the elephant man.&amp;nbsp; I was still struggling to breathe, but I had obviously chosen to live.&amp;nbsp; I had the room to myself and as I looked out the big picture window facing the Santa Catalina Mountains, I saw my spirit outside, as if on a runway, surrounded by other spirits celebrating my decision, finally, to live.&amp;nbsp; I had made a commitment to my path, my purpose; no matter how long it took to arrive.&amp;nbsp; There in the darkness of early morning, I faced the light and chose the light.... not death, but to shine the light amidst any darkness on this planet or in my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I believe that the time for me to fulfill my purpose has finally arrived.&amp;nbsp; I believe it is arriving for all of us.&amp;nbsp; This is OUR deciding moment.&amp;nbsp; We have the opportunity, now more than ever, to choose the light.&amp;nbsp; This isn't an easy time, nor is it easy to feel love or see the light sometimes in the midst of our daily challenges.&amp;nbsp; But I believe that we are being called to do so with each breath, each thought, each action.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I believe that together we do have the strength to call in the light, live the light, and dance the light!&amp;nbsp; I believe that we are being supported by massive amounts of unseen beings, too, along with God, Spirit or whatever name you give that source.&amp;nbsp; So we don’t have to do it alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The time is now.&amp;nbsp; The decision is yours.&amp;nbsp; What do you choose?&amp;nbsp; Will you join me in the light?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://posterous.com/"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;

As you might know, from reading my blog, my intention has long been to create an international wellness center/resort/learning center.&amp;nbsp; I have spent many years on research and attempting to find business partners and funders. Perhaps now it will happen:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Wellness Hotels And Resorts - Adding A New Dimension To Life Style!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;By: Ram Gupta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; "Hospitality is an ever evolving industry. It caters to needs and desires of its users. As these desires keep changing with the ever evolving life style, the hospitality product offer makes micro adjustments to address these fresh demands. They say wealth gives birth to desire, how true it is. As people get more spendable income, we see new demand generation in almost all areas of our daily life&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We saw the introduction of health concept in city hotels in early seventies when the luxury hotels embraced something called a health club. Those days it consisted of only a gym, steam and sauna rooms. Good health clubs also had a few body massage rooms. The demand for a beauty parlor followed soon. No one wanted to step out of the health club without a proper facial or hair do. This made the beginning of a new era for hospitality industry - the wellness age. Those who recognized it as an opportunity exploited it to remain competitive.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Today, after four decades, things are different. The concept of health club has undergone a drastic change. It is now one of the key revenue generators for luxury hotels. Things are very specialized. No more just a gym and massages, now they offer a whole range of products, treatments and therapies and services for holistic wellness. There are specialists offering counseling on diet, nutrition, weight loss, slimming, fitness, beauty, body care and general well-being. The underlying philosophy being to help the guests remain healthier.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The demand for wellness travel has given the hospitality industry a new niche, the wellness hotels or a resort. A well planned wellness resort in an attractive resort location offers all the luxuries of a resort hotel. In addition, it offers a well equipped Wellness product. The facilities in these resorts vary but generally include a range of restaurants or food outlets, bars and clubs, business facilities, meetings and conferencing, entertainment and indoor and outdoor sports. The main emphasis in these resorts is the wellness center.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A luxury wellness center will include a well equipped and fitted gym with personal counselors and trainers, a range of body baths, steam, sauna, solar therapy and so on. Wellness hotels located in an area with natural springs even offer natural spring water soaks, dips or baths, a number of swimming pools, different types of body and massage therapies, yoga, aroma and color therapy, skin treatment therapies, beauty treatments and the list is ever-increasing. Needless to say that the hotel employs specialists in all areas to counsel and physically render various therapies to the guests and residents&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Some wellness resorts, with enough landscape offer their own gated jogging tracks within the resort. Wellness resorts offer enough outdoor activity to its residents. They have tennis courts and badminton courts on the premises. Alternatively they have arrangements with a local club for use of facilities by its residents.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The resort management does everything to ensure that the resident spends minimum time in the room by offering a range of wellness, leisure and entertainment activities and facilities in the resort. The food menu in the restaurants offers a wellness food section offering a range of organic and nutritional selections. One can find a choice of diet and health dishes even on the buffet spreads. A special feature in some wellness food menus is that they also mention the nutritional values of the dish, including the calories. There is enough evening activity in a wellness resort to keep the residents occupied before retiring to bed.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A wellness hotel or resort could be anywhere or in any location. However those located in well-known vacation spots or resort location are more successful than the city center ones. The wellness hotels located in resort locations like a hill resort, ski resort or a beach resort offer the opportunity to combine vacation with wellness. Of late, it is observed that big corporations also patronize wellness resorts as their meetings and conference venues, combining business with wellness.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Branding of a wellness hotel or resort plays an important role in its success and within the hotel, the branding of the wellness product is absolutely crucial. It must be ensured that the brand has strong market presence and backing of an even stronger brand ambassador. In recent years the industry has witnessed launch of a number of highly successful brands, some belonging to large hotel chains and some to stand-alone hotels.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The most important aspect of a wellness hotel or resort is its initial conceptualization and planning. This is the most complex exercise. One can not simply have a hotel and add to it a state of the art health club. Wellness hotels need an in-depth study and research on needs and demands of its potential guests, the competition with in the area and how to ensure that the resort remains competitive for at least the next four to five years. While Big hotel chain have their own in-house wellness facility planners, the independent investor will be well advised to retain a professional consultant to create a unique and competitive product. It pays back in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A good wellness resort with attractive activities give room for one complaint - why the sun rises so late and the night comes so soon? One is so busy the whole day that the day never seemed to have come in the first instance. Wellness resorts, on one hand define your life style, and, on the other they offer a perfect opportunity to fuse your holidays with your well-being. Live healthy for you only live once!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You are free to publish this article without any change in the content electronically, in print, in your e-book, or on your web site, free of charge, as long as the author resource details are included. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Author Resource: Ram Gupta is a management professional with specialization in hospitality, real estate, product and e-marketing.

It was not the first time he had come to visit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Acknowledging his presence, he said, "Do you know why the commandment, Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself, never worked?" (Not that many of the others did.) Feeling that I had that answer, I waited for his response. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; "Because humanity has never learned to love themselves, so how in your world could they deeply and sacredly ever love thy neighbor as themselves? Humanity can never love their neighbor or another to any greater degree than they are able to love themselves. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; That is why there has never been a generation, since the beginning of human incarnations, that has escaped war, whether in their home, their hearts or on the open fields."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; "Humanity," he said, "has never learned the meaning or value of self-love."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;That gave me pause, as I thought about the profundity of his words, and the implications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Thus, we engaged in a rather lengthy conversation about one of the most important aspects of the current ascension, loving thyself, knowing thyself and honoring thyself, in a manner that didn't reduce it to new-age, spiritual rhetoric. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Moses went on to tell me something very profound. He shared, from a very different perspective, why he never made it into the "Promised Land."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;While it is written in numerous texts that he was barred from entering the Promised Land, due to a direct disobedience of a request asked of him by God, on the day he decided to visit me, he told me something very different.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; "First of all, God punishes no one," he said. "There are laws to enter into the Promised Land, not punishment to keep one out. One of the laws is To Know Oneself, which in turn leads one to Honor Thyself."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Moses lived in every moment to honor God, by honoring God's many assignments which included to free slaves, guide them through the wilderness for forty years, petition to unleash plagues against Egypt, carry down God's laws from Mt. Sinai, and more. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Moses forgot about himself, forsaking himself repeatedly, for the benefit of others, and even forsaking himself to his own anger. He knew to do nothing other than that, often being seen as having a penchant for being distracted by his long stream of assignments, (some of which he told me, were perceived assignments.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; By not knowing himself, he was unable to honor himself, or love himself. Though he honored God, he separated himself from God, never understanding that he and God were One and were meant to be known, loved and honored as One. For these reasons, he said, he was unable to enter into "The Promised Land."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Stunned that this conversation was taking place with me, tears rolled down my cheeks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;How many years had I been like Moses, I asked myself? How many years have you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; The Promised Land, the land of Ascension, has always been promised to all who honored the laws of entry, to "Know Thyself" and to "Honor Thyself" Through these great acts we are made able to know how to love ourselves, our neighbors and all others properly, and be trusted to never decimate Holy Ground with unholy behavior ever again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;I deeply thanked Moses for his wisdom, knowing that it's never to late for anyone, including him. I consciously put my hand in his, fused our energy together and promised we'd walk hand in hand into the Promised Land, together. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; This year of 2011, we have the opportunity to walk the last miles into our destined Homeland. Let's walk the final miles together, in love, knowing ourselves, and honoring ourselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Let's abolish commandments, honor our long ago commitments, learn from those who came before us and be impeccable with our actions and words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Let's pay attention to every moment of every day. Let's consciously notice if we are walking toward or away from "The Promised Land." Let's know what's required and not skip any of the steps. Let's be impeccable about this ascension, knowing we can't enter Holy Ground through a back gate, which Moses made clear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;We were born this time to make it to the Promised Land. The Great Divine awaits our passage, and is leading us there in every moment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; Whether we are paying attention or not, is another story; like the one Moses told.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Happy New Year!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p /&gt;  &lt;strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Copyright 2011, Maureen Moss. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Please share or post as you like keeping name and websites intact. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.worldpuja.org/"&gt;http://www.worldpuja.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.maureenmoss.com/"&gt;http://www.maureenmoss.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/great-article-by-maureen-moss"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-7021741872560844961?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/7021741872560844961/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/01/great-article-by-maureen-moss.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7021741872560844961'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7021741872560844961'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/01/great-article-by-maureen-moss.html' title='Great article by Maureen Moss'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-1269395784270154208</id><published>2011-01-04T13:26:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-04T13:29:45.352-08:00</updated><title type='text'>PLANET B-BOY official trailer.

In the 80's I tried to learn break-dancing and was awful!  So now I dance in my living room...but I dance!   &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This movie was a very powerful ode to dance...it's passion, the need to express what is inside you, how it translates around the world no matter the politics or language, how it unites people,  and empowers them! &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This is about the history of break dancing, it's evolution, it's power.  It  portrays a global dance contest and various teams as they prepare for it, and also includes poignant personal stories of loss, families grappling to understand and support their child's interests, that universal desire to find your heart's desire and be able to express that and perhaps earn a living doing it. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; There are beautiful scenes of juxtaposition...a break dance performance in a Buddhist temple; a Canadian older break dancer working as a social worker  teaching youth to break dance for healing, empowerment and scenes of them doing so with Native American elders; break dancing in the streets in Japan as women dressed as geishas stroll by with umbrellas. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; This movie was very inspiring as it reminded me once again about my dreams, my passion, my heart's desires and to keep saying yes to them!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://posterous.com/"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/planet-b-boy-official-trailer-dvd-available-n"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-1269395784270154208?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/1269395784270154208/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/01/planet-b-boy-official-trailer-dvd.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1269395784270154208'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1269395784270154208'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/01/planet-b-boy-official-trailer-dvd.html' title='PLANET B-BOY official trailer.

The sets were something out of a Timothy Burton movie, the costumes were quirky and creative, I loved the acting, and the story.  I feel it is such a sweet and important story about growing up feeling like a freak. I know I did, getting rejected for many things.  But at some point,  in order to allow yourself to live your truth, manifest your dreams, share your gifts with the world, you have to come to a point of self-acceptance and beyond that self-love!  This movie shows a young woman who never let her so called disfigurement stop her from being creative and adventurous so she finally steps out into the world, bravely, to experience life and learn to accept herself and allow love to flourish inside and out!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/penelope-trailer-extended-version"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-4137637466966995142?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/4137637466966995142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/01/penelope-trailer-extended-version.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/4137637466966995142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/4137637466966995142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2011/01/penelope-trailer-extended-version.html' title='Penelope Trailer -- Extended Version'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-1830409547243358879</id><published>2010-12-31T16:37:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-31T16:37:29.564-08:00</updated><title type='text'>2012 Event Horizon: (1) Prophecies and Science of a Golden Age, by David Wilcock</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"&gt; &lt;object height="300" width="500"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEyqT2_ricA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;hd=1" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="window" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cEyqT2_ricA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;hd=1" wmode="window" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="300" width="500"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;    &lt;div class="posterous_quote_citation"&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEyqT2_ricA"&gt;youtube.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just watched this...very interesting!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/2012-event-horizon-1-prophecies-and-science-o"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-1830409547243358879?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/1830409547243358879/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/2012-event-horizon-1-prophecies-and.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1830409547243358879'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1830409547243358879'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/2012-event-horizon-1-prophecies-and.html' title='2012 Event Horizon: (1) Prophecies and Science of a Golden Age, by David Wilcock'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-5851187724034468773</id><published>2010-12-27T15:58:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-27T15:58:43.159-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Powerful Two part Goodbye/Hello Ceremony/Meditation for the New Year!

My intention is that you will get as much out of listening to these as I did making them!&lt;p /&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;Blessings&lt;/span&gt;, Katelon&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;Link for 12/24.2010 Ceremony and meditation part one -endings:&lt;p /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oronjo.com/live/next/?fi=75410" class="yiv914172306yiv201938874bodylink" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yiv914172306yshortcuts"&gt;http://www.oronjo.com/live/next/?fi=75410&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p /&gt;Link for 12/25/2010 ceremony and meditation part two -beginnings:&lt;p /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.oronjo.com/live/next/?fi=75458" class="yiv914172306yiv201938874bodylink" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span class="yiv914172306yshortcuts"&gt;http://www.oronjo.com/live/next/?fi=75458&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/powerful-two-part-goodbyehello-ceremonymedita"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-5851187724034468773?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/5851187724034468773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/powerful-two-part-goodbyehello_27.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/5851187724034468773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/5851187724034468773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/powerful-two-part-goodbyehello_27.html' title='Powerful Two part Goodbye/Hello Ceremony/Meditation for the New Year!

In the ancient text, The Essence Gospel of Peace, it states “ Peace is the key to all knowledge, all mystery, all life.”&lt;span style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;20 years ago I was living in a small Northern California coastal town.&amp;nbsp; My neighborhood reminded me of the powerful novel &lt;b&gt;SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION&lt;/b&gt;, by Ken Kesey.&amp;nbsp; As I’d take my daily walks through the fogged in neighborhood, I ‘d pass sign after sign impaled in the yards stating, “We support the timber industry”.&amp;nbsp; The small communities lining the coast embodied the timber/environmental clash so vividly described in that novel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Months before, I had been asked to be interviewed on a local women’s radio show.&amp;nbsp; The topic I chose was “Inner Healing and how it relates to Global Healing”.&amp;nbsp; At the time, I was working as a massage therapist in a chiropractors office.&amp;nbsp; One of my clients was a young man who had moved out from the south to make peace buttons for a local company.&amp;nbsp; Although his job and his political activism spoke of peace, the extreme tension I felt in his body spoke of an ongoing inner war.&amp;nbsp; I began to observe this dichotomy in myself and other clients, along with the already divided community.&amp;nbsp; The day we declared war on Iraq ended up being the day of my interview.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;As war broke out in that country, war broke out in my town as the local mayor and city council declared the town a draft free zone.&amp;nbsp; Opponents stormed the town hall, an enormous American flag was erected upon the approach to town, and all the yard signs were replaced with new ones stating “We support America”…and….&lt;i&gt; we’re on the air, welcome Katelon to discuss “Inner Healing and how it relates to Global Healing.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;I felt like I was in the twilight zone and all the mayhem further underscored this study of mine.&amp;nbsp; There I was witnessing war in the body of this young man, opposing views and near riots in our town hall, &lt;b&gt;SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION&lt;/b&gt; in my neighborhood and bombs dropping across the seas as a TV reporter stood next to a board drawing little x’s and o’s like a football play to explain the loss of life many countries away.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;Over the years I have continued to explore this theme as I work to release old limiting patterns of lack, illnesses, and aloneness in myself.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes I am able to love what is here, or what I perceive to be lacking, embrace the lessons and provide the gift of peace to myself, as I open the space for healing to happen.&amp;nbsp; Other times I am in the ring, working on my left hook, ready to punch out the offending lack of fruition, career struggle or another Saturday night spent alone.&amp;nbsp; A few years ago this occasional fighting position was literally put in my face as I took a detour to work.&amp;nbsp; I ended up driving past a 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade fistfight in the middle of the road. Because I haven’t seen a fist fight since my 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade year, I was left to ponder again &lt;i&gt;Where am I at war in my own being, what am I fighting?&amp;nbsp; Peace?&amp;nbsp; What am I giving and receiving?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;As I examine this wrestling with my psyche I am seeing it on the outside again, too, as my neighbors, fellow countrymen/women and world members draw the lines and continue wars.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;One of the therapies I do is called, Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT).&amp;nbsp; In this therapy, I work with a person’s high self to research and clear negative programs, conditioning, beliefs, etc. that are limiting the person and restricting the flow of good through their bodies, relationships and lives.&amp;nbsp; This work is done using a pendulum, dowsing various charts and connecting with the person’s high self to research the soul’s records.&amp;nbsp; Whatever needs to be cleared is then identified and with the assistance of the high self and spirit, it is cleared.&amp;nbsp; The limiting energies are then replaced with positive ones, moving a person out of self-punishment and self-limitation.&amp;nbsp; Relationships can be researched as well, clearing destructive patterns that can be limiting the relationship and the individuals.&amp;nbsp; Christ referred to this high self as “the father within”.&amp;nbsp; Hawaiian Huna refers to it as Aumakua or higher consciousness.&amp;nbsp; What is seen so often in this work is how much people limit themselves through their thoughts and judgments brought forth from (depending upon your belief system), past lives, genetic codes, world energies, childhood experiences and the entire creative process in itself.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;A few years ago, a man called to ask me to use SRT to “GET RID” of a woman he is in business with.&amp;nbsp; He explained how this woman was attempting to take over his business and he wanted her gone.&amp;nbsp; I explained that I’m not a hit man but that I could work with his high self and spirit to clear them and their relationship, allowing for a new resolution.&amp;nbsp; The work succeeded and the woman called him, with positive news and wanted to get together to find a healthy resolution they could both be comfortable with.&amp;nbsp; Instead of rejoicing in this turn of events, he was so attached to his anger that he chided me for not getting rid of her.&amp;nbsp; I felt sadden by his response, yet I was led to look at what I was just wanting to get rid of in my life, rather than be willing to negotiate with, forgive, and create a space for something new to appear?&amp;nbsp; I had to look at where was I limiting myself? I inquired again, “Peace?&amp;nbsp; What am I giving and receiving?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;I watch in childlike awe each year as the days get shorter and shorter and darkness descends, leaving sunshine, that I so love, a memory.&amp;nbsp; And yet, I attune to the surrender of the trees as they gently release their leaves, plants die and seeds are deposited deep in the soil to wait and rest until the light comes again.&amp;nbsp; Most of the world religions celebrate this return of the light.&amp;nbsp; I think of Mary, in the Christian tradition, as she gestated a child within, holding that immaculate concept for him as she faced many outer challenges. Certainly, she must have felt the urge to fight, the call to struggle or defend.&amp;nbsp; I certainly did as I carried my son, and then went on to raise him alone through all the challenges we faced. Don’t we all, whether we are carrying a child, a dream or concept? And, yet, each of us can carry this immaculate concept for our children, our dreams and desires.&amp;nbsp; Each of us can carry that seed of peace and continue to hold it in our hearts for the world and ourselves.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;The days may be dark, the world may talk of war and torture and try to keep us focused on fear and our desires/dreams/challenges may threaten to pull us into an inner or outer war and yet there are methods and therapies that we can use to release this inner negativity and replace it with harmony.&amp;nbsp; I do believe that we have the power within us to return to love, just as yearly the days grow longer and the light returns.&amp;nbsp; I do feel that each step we take toward negotiation, dialogue, healing and bridge building within ourselves, our families, our communities, does reach out and effect global change.&amp;nbsp; So, I encourage you to ask yourselves, “Peace? &amp;nbsp;What are you giving and receiving?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://posterous.com/"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/peace-what-are-you-giving-and-receiving"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-7121886420559300944?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/7121886420559300944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/peace-what-are-you-giving-and-receiving.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7121886420559300944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/7121886420559300944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/peace-what-are-you-giving-and-receiving.html' title='Peace?

This is this Sunday, 12:00 noon PST. So here is the information:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="yiv1424744395MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It is time for me to step up to the plate and expand the work I do and assist more on a global level.

In our own lives it can become so easy to spiral downward into anger, fear, and grief in response to the holidays, unemployment, family strife, health and monetary challenges.&amp;nbsp; I am without family now and so I understand the challenge that can come with this season, added to the other struggles that others and I face.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was listening yesterday to one of my favorite singer/songwriters, David Wilcox.&amp;nbsp; I was touched by his song "Show the Way", particularly the words "There is evil cast around us, but it is love that wrote the play, so that in this darkness love can show the way."&amp;nbsp; His song ponders the question of perhaps this darkness that appears is really our soul's way of bringing forth the love within us, along with love being the force that created the darkness SO that love could show the way.&amp;nbsp; Now I’m not one that believes we have to create struggle or challenge in our lives so that we can learn or grow. I feel that we've all had plenty of that to last many, many lifetimes.&amp;nbsp; But I do believe that when we can face this darkness while remembering and calling forth the love within us, and connecting to the love that is all around us, that we strengthen that love and it empowers others and thus us.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Even when it is nighttime in our location, the sun is still shining somewhere else in the world.&amp;nbsp; Even when we are at the darkest point in our lives, there is still this love beating in our hearts.&amp;nbsp; I believe the more I can keep my attention on this love and find magic in the simple things around me, the more chance I have to feel the love within me and notice it in others.&amp;nbsp; That is what is so delightful to me during the holiday season. Even though I miss family to share this time with, I can still share in the magic of holiday lights, giving trees set up in offices and malls, people reaching out to wish each other a happy holiday.&amp;nbsp; I can boost myself up with the knowledge that the light is coming again, the days are going to grow longer, the warmth will return and perhaps family will return.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; No matter if you celebrate a holiday this time a year or not, or which holiday you celebrate, they all seem to focus on light, love, sharing, compassion, miracles, magic and peace.&amp;nbsp; We can birth this all within us right now by putting our attention on what brings us joy, what IS working in our bodies, relationships and lives.&amp;nbsp; And I believe that what springs from this attention is us creating more and more of that in our lives.&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We have an opportunity now to change our world, and ourselves right this moment. And that moment becomes the next moment and the next and soon we have a new "us", a new world.&amp;nbsp; Let's fill it with love, light and magic!&amp;nbsp; Smell the sweetness of that, hear the joyous sounds, and recognize the beauty as it comes into form!&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Many blessings for a beautiful holiday season to you!&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/love-will-show-the-way"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-5424300534207345622?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/5424300534207345622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/love-will-show-way.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/5424300534207345622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/5424300534207345622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/12/love-will-show-way.html' title='LOVE WILL SHOW THE WAY'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-5091811177734251197</id><published>2010-11-28T18:51:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-28T18:58:38.963-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Smile ON: A prosperity/manifestion mini-movie!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="posterous_autopost"&gt;&lt;table border="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font: inherit;" valign="top"&gt;&lt;span class="UIIntentionalStory_Names"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I just posted my first You Tube video.

Although on the surface the movie is seen as a romantic comedy of class struggle/redemption/transformation, I see a deeper meaning. Of course, my son used to kid me about how I could see deeper meaning in even the silliest farce! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     Just after watching the movie, I listened to the weekly call from The One Command creators,  a powerful healing and transformation technique. During the call, the speaker was talking about the process of moving from who we are now, what our life is like, to who we choose to be and how we'd like our life to be.  She talked about how we'd need to take on a new identity, behaviors, habits, thoughts, and ways of being, in order to become that new version of ourselves. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;     In the movie "Overboard", Goldie Hawn's character starts out as a rich, pampered, unhappy, haughty woman.  After suffering amnesia, she is tricked into thinking she is the wife of a poor and permissive father of four boys.  Without knowing anything differently, she adopts the maternal instinct, skills, patience, love and creativity to provide a loving and comfortable home for this family. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;      Since I am in the process of re-discovering my true nature, as so many of us are these days, I loved the demonstration of how we can change, and what it takes to adopt these new ways of being. For thousands of years we have all been tricked into believing we are separate from God, from each other, powerless, living in lack and so we have created a world and lives from that limited place.  It is time for us all to wake up, remember our power, our ability to create magic.  It is already within us, it has just been covered over, just like Goldie Hawn's character knew innately how to be the devoted and loving woman she became in the end. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;      Time to rise up and shine! I am with you on the journey!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/overboard-1987-trailer"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-5625366794409225232?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/5625366794409225232/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/11/overboard-1987-trailer.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/5625366794409225232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/5625366794409225232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/11/overboard-1987-trailer.html' title='Overboard (1987) Trailer'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-2406386907721687556</id><published>2010-11-22T21:47:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-22T21:47:37.125-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Blame It On Fidel - Trailer</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"&gt; &lt;object height="417" width="500"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VyKB8OYL8nc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="window" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VyKB8OYL8nc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" wmode="window" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="417" width="500"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;    &lt;div class="posterous_quote_citation"&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyKB8OYL8nc"&gt;youtube.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Just watched this sweet 2006 French movie about a young girl caught up in the political revolution sweeping France in the 1970's.

She does briefly introduce her new upcoming program but it is not a sales pitch, as she spends most of the call giving great information.&amp;nbsp; I took her course and it blew the door open for the shifts that have since happened in my life!&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katelon T.

And I am talking about spiritual teachers, not religions, which often have been created to add to the control and distortion of the truth.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In Daniel Pinchbeck's wondrous new documentary "2012: Time for Change", he references the information from the Mayans regarding 2012, but he goes on to not only inform but put out a call for ALL of us to now commit to taking part in this transformation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So I am here to remind you that YOU, yes, YOU, wherever you are, whatever you are doing, whatever your circumstances, are POWERFUL right now!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;You ARE a powerful creator, and aligned with Spirit, God, whatever you are comfortable calling that energy that is at the center of all that is.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Whether you remember or believe it or not, you chose to come here to be here now to play your part.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The most important contribution you can make involves you claiming that truth, being ALL that you are, waking up to that truth.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Your energy is needed now, and however you are led to bring YOU forth, whatever you are called to do, is THE most important thing you can do for you, for Spirit, for the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I know you can do it, and I know you have everything you need within you to do it NOW!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I know this because you are here NOW!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;You have survived all the challenges, all the pain, all the betrayal, and all the stumbling blocks in your life so far and your soul has stayed here to be a part of this powerful time on the planet.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Isn't that exciting?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I have known this information since childhood, as I was given my destiny then.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But it hasn't been easy to carry this information and have much of my life, health, and relationships speak to everything but my destiny!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So at times I felt extremely depressed, even emotionally suicidal at times.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But in spite of that, and dying twice due to the illness I have carried in my body since age 2, I am still here. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At one point, I was in a co-op in Tempe, AZ, wandering the aisles and feeling frustrated that my "destiny" hadn't happened yet.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Suddenly, a crazy hippie looking guy rushed up to me, looked directly into my face and said "ISN"T it EXCITING!!!!!" I stared at him and asked "What?”&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He kept smiling and said "Well, all that is happening on the planet now, the transformation that is taking place!”&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This was in 1992, so there wasn't all the 2012 talk that there is now. So I was taken aback.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But it was a wake up call for me; an angel sent to keep prodding me forward.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It hasn't been easy since then either, in fact, in many ways it has been more challenging, and yet I finally understand that I wasn't meant to make my deepest contribution yet because the world wasn't ready, I wasn't ready.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But the time is NOW!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So I am hear to cheer you on!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I believe in you!

Governments arose to supposedly herald in freedom, and yet often these same governments became the force of control as well. Media became the same, initially created to inform and then used to misinform, spread lies, keep people in fear.&lt;p /&gt;It has been heartening to see the lie begin to be exposed in movies like &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Matrix&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Avatar&lt;/span&gt;, and others. Even scientists are now proving the biology of misinformation inside us that has led to disease, lack, struggle and shown us how we do have the power to change this, and thus take back our power to create a better body, life and world.&lt;p /&gt;It is time for us all to wake up from this nightmare.&amp;nbsp; We have learned a lot, and truly, it is all just experience.&amp;nbsp; Personally though, I'm ready to live the dream, a life painted in vivid colors, vibrant, alive, gentle, and grace-filled; rather than looking like a scary Edvard Munch painting called &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Scream&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;nbsp; How about you?&lt;p /&gt;Techniques and therapies have been taught throughout the ages, to assist us in this waking up.&amp;nbsp; Even more have sprung into the mass consciousness lately such as Emotional Freedom Technique, Meridian Tapping, Body Talk, The One Command, Healing Codes, Theta Healing and others; adding to the modalities of breath work, NLP, hypnotherapy, Reiki.&amp;nbsp; Going back even further, shamanism, aboriginal healing, prayer, the laying on of hands, and others have been used as a bridge between the lies of separation and back to the truth of Oneness and inner power.&lt;p /&gt;Breaking free isn't easy, and sometimes it feels quite lonely.&amp;nbsp; I imagine that the first few attempts a young bird makes at flight would feel like a strain, stretching physical strength beyond perceived boundaries.&amp;nbsp; And yet, how magical the feeling must be to at last rise in flight.&amp;nbsp; For when that moment arises, the wind arrives to carry the bird higher.&lt;p /&gt;I feel it is the same for us.&amp;nbsp; We have to exert an effort to free ourselves from all these beliefs, habits, and patterns we have lived by and had passed down to us. And yet, I feel like we, too, can experience that sweet release, as we are gently lifted up into that experience of Oneness and empowerment, like a beautiful lilting melody.&lt;p /&gt;Lately I've been changing my "what if" self talk, from the worries and imaging of negative outcomes.&amp;nbsp; I've been playing the "what if" game every morning now!&amp;nbsp; What if I have this amazing day today? What if I truly remember how powerful I really am?

So occasionally I find myself either snarling at some irritation with a customer service person, or snarling in my head at some miss-perceived slight, situation or past relationship. &amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I do remember that I'm human, that feelings are fleeting, thoughts and judgments are just passing through, but sometimes I seem to get lost in them for awhile, and take THAT journey down the rabbit hole, which can have so many other "attractions" that it is like Disneyland on steroids, and I've got a handful of tickets and there's no line to wait in...I can just jump on board and take the next ride into despair, anger, resentment or whatever emotion is being served up.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And other times, I manage to just forget the story, and move into the emotion.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Normally the feeling comes first, then my mind attaches meaning, and that leads to more "oh yeah and what about this and that", and pretty soon I have an entire string of examples of when I&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;felt that way at other times.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So when I meet that with curiosity instead, drop the story, move into the feeling and notice where it is in my body, and start noticing what it tastes like, looks like, smells like, whatever attributes it has, then allow that to expand and expand until it fills my whole body...pretty soon it just flows right out.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Then I can see that none of those perceived events from the past were any more real that this present one, they were just a feeling with a story attached, maybe true but likely not.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;At a meet-up this weekend, the presenter talked of a very vivid traumatic memory she had and how she had remembered herself being a different age than she really was, and so she posited the question to us asking if any of our memories are real?&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Perhaps, she suggested, some of the details might be wrong, or maybe the entire memory isn't real either.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I watched a short video today about quantum physics, talking about how everything is just a hologram projected outwardly, a picture that our brain makes up from what it takes in from the outer world, filtered through our beliefs. Spiritual teachers have talked for thousands of years about how we are just dreaming this life.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Now scientists are coming to a conclusion that is almost the same.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My Russian existentialist professor discussed this in my Russian literature class in 1974.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Since quantum scientists and energy psychology therapists are teaching us that WE can turn off the beliefs held in our DNA that are creating our limiting beliefs, thus creating limiting experiences and turn on programs for beliefs that support us, we can then evolve ourselves and create the life and world of our dreams.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So next time you find yourself taking a wrong turn into despair, frustration or believing you are powerless, you can stop and ask yourself about the story you are telling yourself, drop into the feeling, be curious, ride the wave and not only allow it to just pass right on through, but you will be re-setting your internal GPS system to lead you more and more along paths that are more prosperous and supportive in all ways!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If I can help you in any way, please contact me!&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I've been doing this work professionally, as a teacher, therapist and coach, for over 30 years, and have a great bag of tools to help you clear any obstacles, create a gentler path and start traveling more of the life of your dreams.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I do work in person, by phone and long distance as well as teach workshops!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Enjoy the ride, stay curious about the dark stuff, allow yourself to move into the feeling and drop the story, let the feeling move on through and then pull out your list of things you enjoy, parts of your life that are working right now and let THAT fill you up.&lt;span style=""&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Soon, you will find yourself afloat again and perhaps soon, landing in a brand new world!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Katelon T.

I found it very powerful and exactly what I needed to hear right now. Hope you enjoy it!&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;The Transmutation of The Warrior&lt;p /&gt;&amp;nbsp;Saturday, June 5, 2010 at 8:12pm&lt;p /&gt;Enlightening Possibilities - A Celestial Offering for Your Divine Discernment&lt;p /&gt;I AM Jamie K Lewis. I AM the embodiment of Pure Consciousness here and now in this physical body. This Consciousness has a voice through me. If You are reading this, I have something to say that You are wanting to hear. I am honored! Open Your heart, connect with the energy of Pure Consciousness – beyond thought and emotion – and receive this energetic transmission of creative thought. Set Your intention on “Allowing enlightenment to occur for all Beings.” Thank You, and bless You.&lt;p /&gt;Today’s possibility, “The Transmutation of The Warrior,” is in co-creation with Indigo Consciousness&lt;p /&gt;All things are undergoing a multi-dimensional restructuring at this time. Those definitions that served to bring us to this point must be softened and allowed to shift into their next stage of development for growth, and for our collective enlightenment, our planetary ascension, our awakening. Let us free one today.&lt;p /&gt;The Indigo Warrior. This is a term that many Light Seeds have been using to understand something about themselves that could not otherwise be explained to have its rightful place in the reality that was created FOR You. In fact, many Beings who share Your reality have defined this aspect of consciousness as a disorder or two. You know this to not be Your truth, and You have integrated it into Your understanding in a way that has allowed it to serve an important purpose and play a very pivotal role in Your enlightenment. Good for You! At this moment in time we offer the following possibility for Your Divine Discernment: What if it is time to allow this Indigo Consciousness to redefine itself? What if it wants to experience itself, in Your body, differently at this time? We believe it is so.&lt;p /&gt;This is not a denial of its nature but a redefining of its role. Remember, You are the one who chooses this path of “bringer of Light” to Your reality. At this time the energy structures and consciousness connections are in place in all Human Beings to allow the Indigo Consciousness, as defined in YOU personally, to be re-defined. Are you feeling this to be true for You? This consciousness as it exists in Your body is perhaps finished with pointing out what’s wrong in Your reality, and is being restructured to align with the belief system that you have decided to adopt that only Love is real. The new understanding of this consciousness is wanting You to remember what it is like to allow it to fulfill its most magnificent function to date: Possibility Pioneer. You are not allowing others to define Your reality for You at this time. You were born into a reality that was offered to You based on definitions and belief systems different than those You have chosen to adopt at this moment in time. You are at a stage in Your Divine development that allows this Indigo consciousness to restructure itself into one of seeing into the infinite dimensions of possibility in FORWARD MOVEMENT, or Creation. For You, there is no longer at this time a need to ferret out that which You do not wish to experience as a part of Your physical experience on this Earth Plane any longer. You are supported in the experience of thinking up, dreaming up, intuiting entirely new ways of Being and wholly new solutions for any seeming problem as the structures of your current belief system click into physical place. This Indigo Consciousness is wanting to restructure itself in Your body to a higher frequency and align itself to the will of the God that You are. Your intuition is wanting to show You what is possible now that was not possible 5 years ago, 5 months ago, or even 5 minutes ago.&lt;p /&gt;What is possible with the allowance of this Warrior in You retiring into a life of Pioneering? ANYTHING.&lt;p /&gt;This consciousness wants to be set free, and to any degree that You can allow it to be done You will create magnificent possibilities for Your reality. What does it take to witness this in Your own body? A decision to allow Your heart center energy to restructure this consciousness for the highest good. It is also important to note that You are the only one who can make this decision for Yourself, and that You cannot make it for others. Allow this change to take place in Yourself and You allow all others to do so as well.&lt;p /&gt;This powerful decision also sets many, many children free. These children are not wishing to be defined in this manner any more. They are desiring the same freedom to love that You seek. You can allow them to have this freedom by offering them a love of their Being, however they choose to define it in any moment. It is not necessary to talk about a child’s “symptoms” in any terms or by anyone’s definition, including the definition of the “Indigo Child.” It is no longer necessary to redefine these personality traits within the limits of Your physical experiences with these children. You can afford that same love energy to them from Your heartspace and see what happens. The warrior becomes the Pioneer, and the children shall lead You. They will show You more possibilities than You can even imagine, and this in turn will free Your own Pioneer even further. Try it and see what happens. See what is possible when You allow the consciousness itself redefine its own role in each individual, including Yourself.&lt;p /&gt;What if You simply say, I now allow the Indigo Consciousness I carry to restructure itself in my body and Earthplane experience in such a manner that is enlightening for all Beings? What if You decide, right here and now, to allow this to happen for You in a way that shows You how graceful and powerful You truly are, and in a manner that is fun and easy for You to experience? What if You decide to allow all others to do the same? What if, each time You witness the finger-pointing Warrior spirit (in Your own self or in other Beings in Your reality), You give this understanding to Yourself? Perhaps You say, “Thank You, Warrior. I now allow You to be a Possibility Pioneer.” Or “Thank You Warrior. I love You and allow You to experience Yourself in Enlightenment for all Beings?” What if You give that persistent pressure in Your head to Your heartspace and allow the Love of God that flows forth from Your restructured heart to restructure the Indigo Consciousness in whatever way it wants to be defined in You at this moment? What if You remembered in that moment that You are God, and that this warrior is praying for Your love. What a powerful and loving Creator You are to simply give it to him, allow him to bask in the glow of the magnificence that You are, and to allow him to redefine himself to fit into Your New World where there is no need for the warrior any longer!! What an awesome and benevolent Being You are!&lt;p /&gt;This is the next evolution of the Indigo Consciousness as You understand it at this time. You Pioneers on the Idea Frontier, You bringers of Light, You must be the ones to allow this change to take place in Your own body. As You do so, allow all others to do the same in the manner and pace at which they are wanting to experience it. No one needs to be left out.&lt;br /&gt;The Warrior has set you free. Thank him for his service, and allow him to have his wings in the Heaven that is You.&lt;p /&gt;Love, Jamie&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/wonderful-article-by-a-friend"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-4642040924794824935?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/4642040924794824935/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/07/wonderful-article-by-friend.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/4642040924794824935'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/4642040924794824935'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/07/wonderful-article-by-friend.html' title='Wonderful Article by a friend!'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-8704395559117368025</id><published>2010-07-21T13:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-07-21T13:27:22.503-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Check out my articles on Satiama.com</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;img src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/empowerandbalance/97BlC1o6yaHXLB9AiWgPildZ6DCc2dG1BU2w4OaFQPOWy4xhfVvrSka9RKrg/best_602_small_color.jpg" width="144" height="216"/&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;table border="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;Check out the two articles I have on the website www.satiama.com.&lt;p /&gt;One is on using a quick and easy test to assess any food or substance allergies and the other is on Past life regression, called "Push the reset button......".

But why it hangs on isn't always apparent when read by traditional medical eyes. In my psychiatric practice in Los Angeles and in my workshops I've been struck by how many sensitive, empathic people who I call "emotional empaths" come to me, lonely, wanting a romantic partner, yet remaining single for years. Or else they're in relationships but feel constantly fatigued and overwhelmed. The reason isn't simply that "there aren't enough emotionally available people 'out there,'" nor is their burnout "neurotic." Personally and professionally, I've discovered that something more is going on.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Emotional empaths are a species unto themselves. Whereas others may thrive on the togetherness of being a couple, for empaths like me, too much togetherness can be difficult, may cause us to bolt. Why? We tend to intuit and absorb our partner's energy, and become overloaded, anxious, or exhausted when we don't have time to decompress in our own space. We're super-responders; our sensory experience of relationship is the equivalent of feeling objects with 50 fingers instead of five. Energetically sensitive people unknowingly avoid romantic partnership because deep down they're afraid of getting engulfed. Or else, they feel engulfed when coupled, a nerve-wracking, constrictive way to live. If this isn't understood, empaths can stay perpetually lonely. We want companionship, but, paradoxically, it doesn't feel safe. One empath patient told me, "It helps explain why at 32 I've only had two serious relationships, each lasting less than a year." Once we empaths learn to set boundaries and negotiate our energetic preferences, intimacy becomes possible.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;For emotional empaths to be at ease in a relationship, the traditional paradigm for coupling must be redefined. Most of all, this means asserting your personal space needs -- the physical and time limits you set with someone so you don't feel they're on top of you. Empaths can't fully experience emotional freedom with another until they do this. Your space needs can vary with your situation, upbringing, and culture. My ideal distance to keep in public is at least an arm's length. In doctors' waiting rooms I'll pile my purse and folders on the seats beside me to keep others away. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;With friends it's about half that. With a mate it's variable. Sometimes it's rapture being wrapped in his arms; later I may need to be in a room of my own, shut away. One boyfriend who truly grasped the concept got me a "Keep Out" sign for my study door! For me, this was a sign of true love. All of us have an invisible energetic border that sets a comfort level. Identifying and communicating yours will prevent you from being bled dry by others. Then intimacy can flourish, even if you've felt suffocated before. Prospective mates or family members may seem like emotional vampires when you don't know how to broach the issue of personal space. You may need to educate others -- make clear that this isn't about not loving them -- but get the discussion going. Once you can, you're able to build progressive relationships.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;If you're an empath or if the ordinary expectations of coupledom don't jibe with you practice the following tips.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Define your personal space needs &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tip 1. What to say to a potential mate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;As you're getting to know someone, share that you're a sensitive person, that you periodically need quiet time. The right partner will be understanding; the wrong person will put you down for being "overly sensitive," and won't respect your need.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tip 2. Clarify your preferred sleep style&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Traditionally, partners sleep in the same bed. However, some empaths never get used to this, no matter how caring a mate. Nothing personal; they just like their own sleep space. Speak up about your preferences. Feeling trapped in bed with someone, not getting a good night's rest, is torture. Energy fields blend during sleep, which can overstimulate empaths. So, discuss options with your mate. Separate beds. Separate rooms. Sleeping together a few nights a week. Because non-empaths may feel lonely sleeping alone, make compromises when possible.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tip 3. Negotiate your square footage needs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;You may be thrilled about your beloved until you live together. Experiment with creative living conditions so your home isn't a prison. Breathing room is mandatory. Ask yourself, "What space arrangements are optimal?" Having an area to retreat to, even if it's a closet? A room divider? Separate bathrooms? Separate houses? I prefer having my own bedroom/office to retreat to. I also can see the beauty of separate wings or adjacent houses if affordable. Here's why: conversations, scents, coughing, movement can feel intrusive. Even if my partner's vibes are sublime, sometimes I'd rather not sense them even if they're only hovering near me. I'm not just being finicky; it's about maintaining well-being if I live with someone. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tip 4. Travel wisely&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Traveling with someone, you may want to have separate space too. Whether my companion is romantic or not, I'll always have adjoining rooms with my own bathroom. If sharing a room is the only option, hanging a sheet as a room divider will help. "Out of sight" may make the heart grow fonder.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tip 5. Take regular mini-breaks&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Empaths require private downtime to regroup. Even a brief escape prevents emotional overload. Retreat for five minutes into the bathroom with the door shut. Take a stroll around the block. Read in a separate room. One patient told her boyfriend, "I need to disappear into a quiet room for ten minutes at a party, even if I'm having fun," a form of self-care that he supports.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;In my medical practice, I've seen this creative approach to relationships save marriages and make ongoing intimacies feel safe, even for emotional empaths (of all ages) who've been lonely and haven't had a long-term partner before. Once you're able to articulate your needs, emotional freedom in your relationships is possible.&lt;/p&gt;  				  			    		  		    &lt;div style="border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); background-color: white;"&gt;&lt;div style="padding-top: 0.5em; padding-left: 0.5em;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="margin: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adaptiveblue.com/widget-install?onClick=true&amp;amp;feedUrl=http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&amp;amp;AWSAccessKeyId=07GG2103RY5KFCY09GG2&amp;amp;Operation=ItemLookup&amp;amp;ResponseGroup=ItemAttributes,Images,EditorialReview&amp;amp;ItemId=0307587589,0307338181,,&amp;amp;title=Books%20&amp;amp;%20More%20From%20Judith%20Orloff%20MD&amp;amp;skin=white&amp;amp;width=540&amp;amp;newTip=yes&amp;amp;category=book&amp;amp;numItems=4&amp;amp;type=grid&amp;amp;display=thumbs&amp;amp;auto=no&amp;amp;columns=4&amp;amp;xsl=amazon-item.xsl&amp;amp;blueAmazonId=thehuffingtop-20&amp;amp;blueBNId=K233342" target="_self"&gt;Books &amp;amp; More From Judith Orloff MD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=""&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.adaptiveblue.com/widget-install?onClick=true&amp;amp;feedUrl=http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml?Service=AWSECommerceService&amp;amp;AWSAccessKeyId=07GG2103RY5KFCY09GG2&amp;amp;Operation=ItemLookup&amp;amp;ResponseGroup=ItemAttributes,Images,EditorialReview&amp;amp;ItemId=0307587589,0307338181,,&amp;amp;title=Books%20&amp;amp;%20More%20From%20Judith%20Orloff%20MD&amp;amp;skin=white&amp;amp;width=540&amp;amp;newTip=yes&amp;amp;category=book&amp;amp;numItems=4&amp;amp;type=grid&amp;amp;display=thumbs&amp;amp;auto=no&amp;amp;columns=4&amp;amp;xsl=amazon-item.xsl&amp;amp;blueAmazonId=thehuffingtop-20&amp;amp;blueBNId=K233342" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/blueorganizer/images/widget/white/copy_off.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_quote_citation"&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/judith-orloff-md/relationship-advice-relat_b_628549.html?ir=Daily%20Brief"&gt;huffingtonpost.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Great article.

New Experiments Suggest We're Not Purely Physical</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;  						&lt;p&gt;The world was once wondrous.  As a boy I remember mounting the stairs that led to the legendary Harvard Medical School. The huge granite slabs were worn by past generations of scientists.  Here, I fancied, the greatest minds on the planet busied themselves around electron microscopes and ultra-centrifuges, working in their laboratories on secret experiments. But I'm older now, and my colleagues tell me we're just the activity of carbon and some proteins; we live awhile and die. And the universe?  It too has no meaning.  They have it all worked out in the equations -- no need for woo.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;But a series of new experiments suggest this may be all wrong, and that part of us exists outside of the physical world.  The implications of these experiments have been downplayed because, until recently, quantum behavior was limited to the microscopic world.  However, this 'two-world' view (that is, one set of physical laws for small objects, and another set of laws for the rest of the universe, including us) has no basis in reason, and more importantly, is being challenged in labs around the world.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;We're trapped in an outdated paradigm. A few more equations, we're told, and we'll know it all -- any day now. There's no adventure left, no lost gardens in far away lands. But we all intuitively know there's more to existence than our science books grant.  It's the same nostalgic yearning that gives religion its persistent power over humanity.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;It was this search that lured me into science.  My life has been a journey that began as a young boy when I persuaded myself to make a trip (by bus and trolley) to Harvard.  I hoped the men of science would receive me kindly, but when I got there the guard wouldn't let me in. I felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, when the palace guard said "go away." I went around the building and stood by some dumpsters trying to look inconspicuous.  A short balding guy came walking up with a bunch of keys -- the janitor, I thought. After I slipped in, he asked me if he could help. "No," I said "I'm looking for a Harvard doctor. I'm trying to induce melanin synthesis in albino chickens." My words met with a stare of surprise.  Seeing the impact they were having, I went on, although I was certain he didn't know what DNA was.  As we got to talking, I told him I worked in the school cafeteria myself, and was good friends with the janitor up the street. He asked if my father was a doctor.  "No," I laughed. "He's a professional gambler.  He plays poker."  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;I didn't know he was Stephen Kuffler, the world-famous neurobiologist who had been nominated for the Nobel Prize.  At the time, however, I felt like a schoolmaster lecturing a pupil.  I told him about the experiment I had performed in my basement--how I altered the genetic makeup of a white chicken to make it black. "Your parents must be proud," he said. "No, they don't care what I do," I replied. "They think I'm out in my treehouse." He insisted on introducing me to a "Harvard doctor."  I hesitated -- I didn't want him to get into trouble.  "Don't worry about me," he said with a little grin.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;He took me into a room crammed with sophisticated equipment.  A "doctor" looking through an instrument was about to insert an electrode into the nerve of a caterpillar [the "doctor," Josh Sanes, was a graduate student, now Director of Harvard's Center for Brain Science].  "I'll stop back later," my new friend said. From that moment on everything was a dream come true.  The doctor and I talked all afternoon.  And then I looked at the clock. "Oh no!" I said, "I have to go!" I hurried home and went straight to my treehouse.  That evening, the call of my mother penetrated the woods: "Rob--by!  Time for dinner!"    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;    No one had any idea that evening - including me − that I had met one of the greatest scientists in the world. Kuffler is often referred to as the "Father of Modern Neuroscience." As a medical student I used his &lt;em&gt;From Neurons to Brain&lt;/em&gt; as a textbook.  Yet it wasn't what I learned from his book that was most relevant to understanding the world. It was startling to realize, after studying neurobiology, that objects, indeed our own bodies, are nothing but representations in our mind -− that we can't see anything through the bone surrounding the brain.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;We assume there's a universe "out there" separate from what we are, and that we play no role in its appearance. Yet since the 1920s, experiments have shown just the opposite; results do depend on whether anyone is observing. This is most vividly illustrated by the famous two-hole experiment. When you watch a particle go through the holes, it behaves like a bullet, passing through one hole or the other. But if no one observes the particle, it exhibits the behavior of a wave and can pass through both holes at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;This and other experiments tell us that unobserved particles exist only as "waves of probability" as Max Born demonstrated in 1926. They're statistical predictions -- nothing but a likely outcome.  Until observed, they have no real existence; only when the mind sets the scaffolding in place can they be thought of as having duration or a position in space.  Experiments make it increasingly clear that even &lt;em&gt;mere knowledge in the experimenter's mind&lt;/em&gt; is sufficient to convert possibility to reality.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Importantly, this behavior isn't limited to the microscopic world.  New experiments carried out with huge molecules called "Buckyballs" show that quantum reality extends into the macroscopic world we live in. In 2005, KHC0₃ crystals exhibited entanglement ridges one-half inch high, quantum behavior nudging into everyday levels of discernment.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Biocentrism&lt;/em&gt; tells us that reality is a process that involves our consciousness, and that space and time aren't the hard objects we think. Recent experiments show that separate particles can influence each other instantaneously over great distances, as if they're endowed with ESP.  They're intimately linked in a manner suggesting there's no space or time influencing their behavior. In 1997 Nicolas Gisin sent pairs of particles zooming along optical fibers until they were seven miles apart. But whatever action one took, its twin performed the complementary action instantaneously. Since then, other researchers have duplicated Gisin's work. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;All of these experiments make perfect sense from a biocentric perspective. Everything we perceive is a whirl of information in our head.  Time can be defined as the summation of spatial states occurring inside the mind. But that doesn't mean there's an invisible matrix in which changes occur. We watch our loved ones age and die and assume that an external entity called time is responsible for the crime. There's a peculiar intangibility to space, as well. Like time, it's just a tool of our understanding.  &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Future studies may confirm this biocentric view of the universe.  Just months ago, Gisin announced a new twist on his experiment, and that the results could be visible to the naked eye. Another proposed new experiment, scaled-up superposition, may confirm that quantum effects apply to human-scale objects.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;It seems like yesterday that I was standing by the dumpster at Harvard; and that one of the most brilliant scientists in history let me into the world of science. In the late 1970's, the betting was that the next Nobel Prize would go to Kuffler, Wiesel and Hubel. But Nobel Prizes aren't awarded posthumously, and Kuffler died while working at his desk on October 11, 1980. (The next year, Hubel and Wiesel won the Nobel Prize.)  Someday we'll realize that the questions with which he concerned himself -- the brain and how we perceive the world -- are a mystery on par with understanding the universe and the origin of life.   &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;But the solution to this mystery lies within our grasp, a solution hinted at by the frequency with which the old paradigm breaks down. This is the underlying problem: we've ignored a critical component of the universe, shunted it out of the way because we didn't know what to do with it.  This component is consciousness -- us, the great observer.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Biocentrism (BenBella Books) lays out Lanza's theory of everything. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  				  			    		  				&lt;p /&gt;  		    		  	&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_quote_citation"&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-lanza/science-spirituality-what_b_624292.html?ir=Daily%20Brief"&gt;huffingtonpost.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Great article! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Katelon&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/robert-lanza-md-what-are-we-new-experiments-s"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-1136087920354591838?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/1136087920354591838/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/06/robert-lanza-md-what-are-we-new.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1136087920354591838'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1136087920354591838'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/06/robert-lanza-md-what-are-we-new.html' title='Robert Lanza, M.D.: What Are We?

I loved the smell of the wood, the openness of the frames and the wonder of watching a house be built from the ground up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Since I grew up both very ill and also remembering other lives and seeing other dimensions, the quest for health and a deeper spiritual understanding became the constant path I was led to walk.&amp;nbsp; Along with this, my sensitivity to unjustness that I saw all around me; the misery in my family, in school and in society, informed my later work as an activist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; In 1978 I ended up taking a job as the communications director for Prescott College, the first college to offer a degree in environmental studies.&amp;nbsp; The staff at the time was an amazing group of transformational teachers, forward thinkers, pioneers.&amp;nbsp; During this time I was able to attend a workshop at the college taught by people from Findhorn, the still thriving spiritual community in Scotland.&amp;nbsp; This workshop brought together my metaphysical childhood, my love for building and community, my passion for wellness and social activism.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; At the time, my son was attending a local alternative school. I was in discussion with them to receive a government funded "Ceta" position in the fall of 1978, to teach art/music/dance to the children 1/2 time and do the school's accounting and PR the other 1/2 day.&amp;nbsp; So I decided to take a leap, take money I had inherited from family deaths along with money I had received from an injury and buy land for myself. I quit my job, bought 5 acres 12 miles out of town, situated on a 20 acre land parcel purchased by 2 families.&amp;nbsp; My idealistic nature imagined this to be the Utopian beginning of a glorious community.&amp;nbsp; I thought I had it all figured out.&amp;nbsp; I had enough, I thought, to build my house.&amp;nbsp; Since the land was paid for, I figured I would build the house over the summer, then have a job to go to in the fall and make enough to support my son and I, and &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; have some money left over.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So the project began!&amp;nbsp; My son and I moved into a tepee and then my Father's camper blocked up on the high desert floor.&amp;nbsp; I had a hose strung out over a tree branch, socking up sun during the morning and that became my shower.&amp;nbsp; I had an outhouse that looked out to a view of the San Francisco peaks in Flagstaff, AZ.&amp;nbsp; We started work at 6 am and worked until noon. Life was grand!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The man I bought the land from designed a house that was partially underground and was to be powered by solar energy.&amp;nbsp; The crew was another neighbor, one other man from town and myself.&amp;nbsp; I started that summer with such hope and vision.&amp;nbsp; I grew muscles I never knew I had and began my life long dream of community, sustainability and alternative energy technology!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Things didn't go as planned as the land owner and neighbor began to talk badly about me behind my back, I found out that I really didn't have enough money to finish the house and that the house had been built with poor decisions (like filling in the huge bricks with adobe?!).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I was new to building so was just following the direction of the supposed experts.&amp;nbsp; I felt confused, betrayed and had no idea where to go from that experience.&amp;nbsp; My dream of community there disappeared as I got the roof on and put the house on the market, left the land and moved my son and I in with a friend.&amp;nbsp; All the extra materials I had purchased were stolen by the land owner and the neighbor, who later tried to deny it all.The descent was sealed when my promised job was given to someone else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But Spirit had a plan and led me to a reflexologist, for my ongoing back pain from the old injury and that began my career in holistic health.&amp;nbsp; From there I was led to explore other communities in AZ and NM, and I began my 32 year career in wellness along with my research to create International wellness/wholeness centers and communities.&amp;nbsp; My vision has stayed strong in spite of the many setbacks and often going it alone, but I feel the world coming to a stronger place that now better supports the visions that began for me in childhood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Sometimes it is challenging and painful to have a dream and to wait for it to materialize and yet the journey alone builds the strength, understanding and compassion that you need in order to fulfill that dream.&amp;nbsp; When you look back, you can see all the steps that led you from there to here, all the gifts along the way that expanded your offerings to give to your dream and the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; What path have you been walking? What dream have you been holding in your heart? My love and blessings go out to you to feed those dreams, bring light to that path, create the opening for you and your dream to be fulfilled.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Katelon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://posterous.com/"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/following-your-dream"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-6546547704275793045?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/6546547704275793045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/06/following-your-dream.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/6546547704275793045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/6546547704275793045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/06/following-your-dream.html' title='Following Your Dream!'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-6242382036750972946</id><published>2010-06-21T17:16:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-21T17:16:02.297-07:00</updated><title type='text'>My Moonbeam Dream mobile.m4v</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class='posterous_autopost'&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"&gt; &lt;object height="417" width="500"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zgn5NfEhUsY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="window" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zgn5NfEhUsY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" wmode="window" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="417" width="500"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;    &lt;div class="posterous_quote_citation"&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgn5NfEhUsY&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded#!"&gt;youtube.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;I subscribe to these weekly blog posts and love them.

For those who are not aware of the Thirteen Grandmothers -- and the Grandmother Drum --&amp;nbsp;who have been diligently working for peace, see the videos below:&lt;br /&gt;"We ask you to cast, anchor, and hold the Net of Light steady for&lt;img align="right" alt="" height="188" src="http://image3.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID2858/images/13Grandmothers.jpg" width="280" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the Gulf of Mexico," the Grandmothers said. "This crisis is affecting the entire world, and humanity is asleep. Wake up!" they cried. "Animals are dying, plants are dying, and your Mother is writhing in agony. If you hold the Net of Light steady at this time you will help stave off further catastrophe.&lt;br /&gt;"You have been lulled into a false sleep," they said, "told that others (B.P.) will take care of this problem. This is not so," they said. "And this is not the time for you to fall into oblivion. Determine now to stay awake, and once you have made that commitment,&lt;br /&gt;think of, cast, and hold the Net of Light. Hold it deep and hold it&lt;br /&gt;wide. Amplify its reach to penetrate the waters of the Gulf and dive&lt;br /&gt;deep beneath the crust of Mother Earth. Anchor it at the earth's&lt;br /&gt;core and as you hold it there, ask it to unify with the mineral&lt;br /&gt;kingdom of this planet. It will do this and will harmonize with all&lt;br /&gt;the solid and liquid mineral states on earth-including oil and gas.&lt;br /&gt;The Net of Light will call these minerals back into harmony.&lt;br /&gt;"Whatever human beings have damaged, human beings must correct," the&lt;br /&gt;Grandmothers said. "This is the law. We repeat: This is the law.You&lt;br /&gt;cannot sit back and ask God to fix the mess humanity has created.&lt;br /&gt;Each of you must throw your shoulders to the wheel and work. We are&lt;br /&gt;asking for your help. Several years ago we gave you the Net of Light&lt;br /&gt;so you would be able to help the earth at times like this. Step&lt;br /&gt;forward now. This is the Net of Light that will hold the earth&lt;br /&gt;during the times of change that are upon you," they said.&lt;br /&gt;"First move into your heart and call on us. We will meet you there.&lt;br /&gt;The Net of Light is lit by the jewel of your heart," they said, "so&lt;br /&gt;move into this lighted place within you and open to the Net of which&lt;br /&gt;you are a part. Bask in its calming presence. It holds you at the&lt;br /&gt;same time that you hold it.&lt;br /&gt;"Now think of magnifying your union with us. We, the Great Council&lt;br /&gt;of the Grandmothers, are with you now, and all those who work with&lt;br /&gt;the Net of Light are also with you. There are thousands, even&lt;br /&gt;millions now connected in light," they said. "Along with this union,&lt;br /&gt;call forth the power of the sacred places on earth. These will&lt;br /&gt;amplify the potency of our joint effort. Then call on the sacred&lt;br /&gt;beings that have come to prevent the catastrophe that threatens to&lt;br /&gt;overwhelm your planet. We will work together," they said, nodding&lt;br /&gt;slowly.&lt;br /&gt;"Think of, cast and magnify the presence of the Net of Light in the&lt;br /&gt;Gulf of Mexico. See, imagine or think of it holding the waters,&lt;br /&gt;holding the land, the plants, the sea life, and the people. Holding&lt;br /&gt;them all!" they said. "The Net of Light is holding them steady; it&lt;br /&gt;is returning them to balance. Let the love within your lighted heart&lt;br /&gt;keep pouring into the Net of Light and hold, hold, hold. Calmly and&lt;br /&gt;reverently watch as the light from your heart flows along the&lt;br /&gt;strands of the Net. It will follow your command and continuously&lt;br /&gt;move forth. As soon as you think of it, it will happen. We ask you&lt;br /&gt;to practice this for only a few minutes at a time, but to repeat it&lt;br /&gt;throughout the day and night.&lt;br /&gt;"We promise that this work with the Net of Light will do untold good,"&lt;br /&gt;the Grandmothers said. "We are calling you to service now.You are needed.&lt;br /&gt;Do not miss this opportunity. We thank you and bless you."&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; --The Indigenous Grandmothers&lt;br /&gt;We can all work toward the coming of Heaven on Earth!

He loved it and asked if he could make a you tube video for me.&amp;nbsp; I put the video on the front page.&lt;p /&gt;Hope you enjoy them.&amp;nbsp; Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you in any way!!!&lt;p /&gt;Thanks for reading!&lt;p /&gt;Katelon&lt;p /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;p /&gt;Website:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.empowerandbalance.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;www.empowerandbalance.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://posterous.com"&gt;Posted via email&lt;/a&gt;  from &lt;a href="http://empowerandbalance.posterous.com/check-out-my-new-webpages"&gt;empowerandbalance's posterous&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8002078377173341352-1780707477910147737?l=empwerandbalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/feeds/1780707477910147737/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/06/check-out-my-new-webpages.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1780707477910147737'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8002078377173341352/posts/default/1780707477910147737'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://empwerandbalance.blogspot.com/2010/06/check-out-my-new-webpages.html' title='Check out my new webpages!!!!'/><author><name>Katelon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08442889407194911507</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8qc87ARc4SU/Srb4F_BcAYI/AAAAAAAAAAM/5YLC6ggUHNs/S220/best+602+print+color.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8002078377173341352.post-5997389074503034453</id><published>2010-06-02T19:14:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-06-04T11:24:01.452-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='homelessness'/><title type='text'>Photos from The Soloist</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="posterous_autopost"&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_bookmarklet_entry"&gt;&lt;a href="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/empowerandbalance/bjrsHJIGudEnpBDuorheCwvJqxjGoiHGeDijzBwjDAFmdrHgHfsDFktjEDkf/media_httpiamediaimdb_qGBEo.jpg.scaled1000.jpg"&gt;&lt;img height="741" src="http://posterous.com/getfile/files.posterous.com/empowerandbalance/bjrsHJIGudEnpBDuorheCwvJqxjGoiHGeDijzBwjDAFmdrHgHfsDFktjEDkf/media_httpiamediaimdb_qGBEo.jpg.scaled500.jpg" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="posterous_quote_citation"&gt;via &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm394630144/tt0821642"&gt;imdb.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;I first saw this movie on Mother's Day last year and just re-watched it again. On Mother's day last year, I was in the midst of my own trauma/drama that comes up around Mother's day. But sitting and watching this beautiful movie that shows the stark reality of homelessness, my little drama felt so small.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel that this is one of the most powerful performances that Robert Downey Jr. has done. It is stripped down and very quiet. Jamie Foxx is wonderful and so is the rest of the cast. The movie is a touching story of friendship, and transformation, for both characters, and the beauty of music. It is based on the book written by Steve Lopez, a journalist still with the LA times, based on the columns he wrote about meeting and befriending a homeless musician named Daniel Ayers, Jr.  I was shocked that it didn't get more attention from critics and during Oscar season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The movie is an unflinching view of what has taken place in our country since President Reagan emptied out many of the mental institutions and pushed those people out on the streets. Add in the ongoing wars we seem to be in and how very poorly we take care of our veterans, then mix in the result of Reaganomics and then the Bush years...and you have 90,000 homeless people in LA alone.  I watched the extras and they interviewed the director of LAMP, the LA men's program, and she spoke of how for $16,000 a year, per person, these people could go through recovery services, be housed, fed, tended to medically, retrained and helped to be self-sustaining, vs. the $100,000 a year that ends up being spent instead to have them on the streets, the emergency room visits, the police involvement..on and on...for them to end up not getting care, not being self-sustaining, lost as human beings, and really not even being treated as human beings.  It is a disgrace to our country.
