Be an Angel Day on August 22 Be an Angel Day encourages us to do acts of kindness, and to help others. This special day has strong religious roots. Jayne Howard Feldman, the creator of this day, says she was inspired by angels to create this day on August 22. The objective of this day is to be like an angel, and do something good or kind for someone. It encourages us to be God's servant in doing good things for others. It is intended to do something nice or kind for someone who is in need of help. The type of angelic help you can offer is not defined or limited. It can be physical, emotional, or spiritual. Be an Angel Day is for both the giver and the receiver. If you are the receiver, make certain to express openly your appreciation. And, recognize the angel in your life as being sent from God.

Here's a little back ground on the Ascended Masters, in case you're not familiar. The article below provided by Patricia Cota-Robles refers to them. One she refers to a lot is St. Germain and the Violet Flame associated with him. THE ASCENDED MASTERS - WHO ARE THEY? An Ascended Master is a Being, who through their own endeavors and hard work have paid all their karma, left the cycle of rebirth and attained Mastery over themselves. An Ascended Master is a Being of Light who is not in body. An Ascended Masters has had many lives in a physical body, just like you – and through these lives and their own freewill and hard work have raised their vibration and consciousness to such a state as to have cleared all their karma and dross from their chakras and bodies. The Ascended Master is not the past life person, it is not the lower-self person who ascended, in truth the Ascended Master is the Higher Self of the person who strive to ascend. So when you call on Jesus, you are calling on the past life persona of the person who ascended to and surrendered to his Higher Self. It is not the persona of Jesus that responds rather it is the Higher Self of Jesus that responds. We all have a Higher Self and all the Higher selves of those striving to ascend are Masters in


waiting. All Higher Selves are great Beings who continually strive to become a Being of total purity and Light, they continually work on their own ascension process. There are many Ascended Masters, some recent and others ancient, some who’s names we recognize and some names aren’t in our conscious awareness – some so old they are mythical to us now. Regardless of who they were in their countless past lives, they are returning now to help us in our own ascension process – for this is the time for many to ascend. You can read more about them on the web. The pictures below are some of the Ascended Masters and the artist's rendering of what they think the Masters look like.

Your I AM Presence has magnetized this information into your sphere of awareness because of who you are and why you are on Earth during this auspicious time. The information that is being shared with you today from the Company of Heaven is something you are very aware of on a higher level of consciousness, but that you may not have been able to remember in this dense physical plane. The Divine Intent of this sharing is to remind you that the time for you to fulfill your purpose and reason for being on Earth is NOW. What is occurring in the Government of the United States of America and the Governments throughout the World during this Cosmic Moment is a greatly intensified purging that is pushing Humanity’s miscreations to the surface in a way that cannot be ignored. This is occurring in this uncomfortable way in order to motivate you and me and the rest of Awakening Humanity into action. This is a critical step in clearing the way for the global events that will take place during the August Eclipse series. The Beings of Light want all of us to know


this Truth, because they are very aware of how difficult the challenges are that Humanity is facing on a daily basis. We all knew it was going to be like this when we volunteered to embody on Earth during this unparalleled time. We agreed to come in spite of how daunting it might be because we knew we had all of the skill, knowledge, strength, courage and willingness necessary to succeed in this monumental mission. As a word of encouragement, we are being reminded that for every person who was granted permission to embody on Earth at this time there were thousands more who were turned away. That is not because we are better or more Enlightened than anyone else. It is because our Father-Mother God and the Company of Heaven felt that because of our past life experiences we had a better chance of Awakening and staying focused on the Light in face of the adversity we were destined to encounter. When we observe what is taking place in the outer world it is obvious that something big, but very confusing, is happening. There are two statements in the Bible that describe what we are experiencing, one is, “This is the time of screaming and the gnashing of teeth”, and the other is, “All that is hidden must now be revealed”. The reason this is referred to as “The time of screaming and the gnashing of teeth”, is because when we look at the outer world we can easily see the horrific negativity being pushed to the surface to be healed and transmuted back into Light, which creates the illusion that things are getting worse. But what we cannot see as easily is the incredible Light of God that is pushing those negative things to the surface. The second statement, “All that is hidden must now be revealed”, is also the result of God’s Light pushing everything to the surface. This statement involves not only pushing to the surface the greed, corruption and abuse of power that has been manipulating Humanity at a clandestine level since our fall from Grace, it also involves revealing the profound Truth of who we are as Sons and Daughters of God. This influx of God’s Light is helping our I AM Presence push to the surface of our conscious mind the memory of why we are on Earth during this particular time. It is also revealing what we have volunteered to do to assist this planet and ALL her Life to Ascend up the Spiral of Evolution into the 5th-Dimensional frequencies of the New Earth. Earth’s Ascension will victoriously fulfill the next phase of our evolutionary journey back to the Heart of our Father-Mother God. Your I AM Presence wants you to know that you have been preparing for lifetimes for this moment on Planet Earth. That is true in spite of how overwhelmed, or how hopeless, or how inadequate or powerless you may feel due to the things you are witnessing and experiencing. Those thoughts and fear-based emotions are just residual memories from your human ego that are recorded in your Etheric Body. You are powerful beyond your knowing, and your I AM Presence is standing in readiness, awaiting the opportunity to reveal to you your facet of this unprecedented Divine Plan. Your I AM Presence is the ONLY one who can accurately reveal to you what your purpose is and what you have volunteered to accomplish in this lifetime. So center yourself every day, and ask your I AM Presence to guide you unerringly to fulfill your highest Divine Potential with every thought, feeling, word and action you express. Then, pay attention. Nothing in your life is happening by accident. Every single thing that enters your sphere of awareness is part of your Divine Plan. Be consciously aware that every moment, of every day,


with every breath you take, you are being given the opportunity to fulfill your PURPOSE and REASON for BEING on Earth by adding to the Light of the World. Your I AM Presence knows exactly how to do this, so be open and receptive to that intuitive inner guidance moment to moment. A CALL TO ACTION The Company of Heaven is asking ALL of us to do our very best to not get emotionally caught up in the horrific things that we are witnessing in the outer world. By staying focused on our I AM Presence and giving this aspect of our own Divinity dominion of our thoughts and feelings, we can absolutely be “IN THE WORLD, BUT NOT OF IT”, From this level of Divine Consciousness, we can invoke the Light of God in monumentally powerful ways. The Company of Heaven is asking for our assistance in transmuting the negativity that is surfacing now. As you know, because of our free will in order for something to manifest in the physical plane the call for assistance must be made by someone abiding in the physical plane. So listen to your heart and if you resonate with this important facet of Earth’s unfolding Divine Plan please utilize this invocation that Saint Germain has given to us at this time. We are all being asked to invoke the Violet Flame as often as our I AM Presence guides us to. Thank you for your willingness to add to the Light of the World in this powerful way. VIOLET FLAME INVOCATION FROM SAINT GERMAIN I AM my I AM Presence and I AM One with my Father-Mother God and the I AM Presence of ALL Humanity. As One Energy, Vibration, and Consciousness of Pure Divine Love I invoke the most intensified frequencies of the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection that Cosmic Law will allow. Saint Germain and your Legions of Violet Fire Angels, I ask that you blaze this Violet Flame with the power and might of a thousand Suns in, through, and around every person, place, condition and thing associated with the Government of the United States of America and every Government around the World. Transmute back into Light every thought, feeling, word, action, memory and belief that any person associated with the Governments of the World has ever expressed in any time frame or dimension that is less than the perfection of Divine Government. Fill the heart and mind of each person with the sacred knowledge that Divine Government is a government OF the I AM Presence, BY the I AM Presence, FOR the I AM Presence. It is a government based in Divine Love, Oneness and Reverence for ALL Life. I accept and KNOW that the Violet Flame of God’s Infinite Perfection is increasing daily and hourly, moment by moment, with every Breath I take. And so it is! Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM, Beloved I AM That I AM.

Why do people become empaths? Is it temperament? Genetics? Trauma? Neglectful or supportive parental upbringing? As a psychiatrist and an empath, I’ve seen that the following four main factors (which I expand upon in my bookThe Empath’s Survival Guide) can contribute to heightening one's sensitivities. Reason 1. Temperament. Some babies enter the world with more sensitivity than others—an inborn temperament. You can see it when they come out of the womb. They’re much more responsive to light, smells, touch, movement, temperature, and sound. These infants seem to


be empaths from the start. Reason 2. Genetics. Also, from what I’ve observed with my patients, some forms of sensitivity may be genetically transmitted. Highly sensitive children can come from mothers and fathers with the same inborn traits. Therefore, it is possible that sensitivity can also be genetically transmitted through families. Reason 3. Trauma. Childhood neglect or abuse can affect your sensitivity levels as an adult. A portion of empaths I’ve treated have experienced early trauma such as emotional or physical abuse, or they were raised by alcoholic, depressed or narcissistic parents. This could potentially wear down the usual healthy defenses that a child with nurturing parents develops. As a result of their upbringing, they typically don’t feel “seen” by their families, and feel invisible in the greater world that doesn’t value sensitivity. Reason 4. Supportive Parenting. On the other hand, positive parenting can help sensitive children develop and honor their gifts. Parents are powerful role models for all children, especially sensitive ones. In all cases, however, we empaths haven’t learned to defend against stress in the same way as others do. We’re different in that respect. A noxious stimulus, such as an angry person, crowds, noise, or bright light can agitate us since our threshold for sensory overload is extremely low. Healing is possible for all sensitive people. Even if you’ve experienced early trauma or have been raised by abusive parents, it’s important that you learn to feel safe enough to embrace your sensitivities now. Part of this involves learning to set healthy boundaries with others and choosing positive people in your circle who can be supportive of your sensitivities. In addition, protection and centering techniques and meditations can help to strengthen your core so you can be both strong and sensitive. In The Empath’s Survival Guide I outline numerous techniques that you can use in your life to feel safe and secure as an empath. The goal is for empaths to be empowered and use their sensitivities to be loving to themselves, their intimates, and create love in the world.

My Moving Story of Radical Transformation It has been a while since I have posted - about two months, to be exact - in the wake of my first move in 25 years, and to downsize - a very big deal for me leaving the house where I raised my children, where I held my two oldest daughter's engagement parties, baby and bridal showers . . . and had calling hours when my mother and my oldest daughter Anna passed . . . making the decision to move was both obvious and very, very hard for me. I did it because I felt I had no choice. Moving was also very hard for me, and I had surprisingly (to me) amazing and extensive help in just about every way I needed and beyond. Now I am really adjusting to where I've landed, also with a lot of wonderful help - a one bedroom apartment coming off of a four bedroom, 2500 square foot house with a quarter acre yard - and I couldn't be happier. I am happier in some key related was than I have been in my adult life, free, lightened up, resolved, unburdened, with a rooftop terrace and the most wonderful views from my top floor location from Rochester, NY that I have ever seen in a lifetime of residing here. The Challenge to Transform of Our Times - and How That Keenly Challenges Us in Our Lives Lots of extremes and intensity, like our times, I feel; the challenge of our times affecting us each uniquely and in key ways to support transformation, empowerment, and self-healing . . . all of which takes a lot of work! None of this is handed to us - we must earn every step of the amazing and unique journey it takes to come to that "pot of gold", which does not include a preceding "rainbow". Instead one's life and sense of core wellbeing feels profoundly threatened and actually is at stake. These are, too, what I call "coming of age" challenges - core opportunities and crises designed to mature and actualize us to take greater responsibility for who and what we really are as we come to know that, and then in radical ways learn to dismantle any faulty belief systems that get in the way. Revealing the Root of Codependency, How It Guarantees Failure and Kills Our Souls The most common faulty belief system I deal with in my Centering Tools practice is the "good little girl/boy script". This is the foundation of codependency, a regressed attempt to take care of anybody and everything other than responsibly providing for one's own true well being, and supporting unconditionally one's authentic self. The abusive dictates of this script include endless people-pleasing, walking on eggshells, blaming a designated Other for all one's troubles ("If only He/She/It would do ______________ everything would be great), endless self-blame and apologizing for one's existence, addiction to delusional perfectionism, passive behavior which always leaks out to include aggressive behavior - including towards oneself, perseverating/obsessing about the future, forcing by any means one can access the designated Other to understand what one decides must be understood, endless expectation with sneaky related demands to achieve these, lack of any wherewithal to be freely present, and a pervasive delusion that one can foretell the future . . . and there's more, but I think I covered more than the highlights! This is a tough, mean-spirited, soul-killing script that diminishes whoever becomes caught in it, and casts especially whoever one is closest to in equally diminishing roles (in other words, never as a whole, equal human being with similar imperfections, challenges, gifts, scripts), which sets the stage for never-ceasing conflicts stemming from related and ongoing power


struggles. This is for sure a very stressful way to live one's life, and guaranteed to also kill one's cherished dreams and real capacity to create fulfillment, support the greater good, and freely be present. The Real Cure, and What is Required to Access It What to do?? First of all, face what's real by facing the results of insisting on "running the script", as I call it, as the primary operative of your emotional life: which are everything fails and falls apart sooner or later. That acknowledgment allows letting go, which understandably precipitates what is rightfully called a healing crisis, designed to end the dysfunctional behavior and clear the way to recover staying present with what is, as your now-released, authentic self. This is a lot to understand, digest, and lay as the real foundation for self-healing, empowerment and development. It takes a lot of work, and involves facing what is metaphorically called many dragons, which are representations/personifications of unhealed wounds going back to childhood trauma that in turn create core fears. How to Achieve Greatness Along with True Resolution, and Resolve Despair These journeys understandably in their unfolding, organic stages do not feel safe - but at one's core there is growing realization that they feel right. All my work is geared to supporting people on these heroic and paradoxically unique journeys that require and engage corresponding and unique new ways of understanding, responding, creating and choosing that we all, in achieving such profound transformation and the better life it produces, end up feeling rightly and immensely proud of ourselves for. We love nothing better than feeling proud of what we've created in larger becoming, and all the wonderful and life-changing results that produces! Like the representational heroic characters in The Wizard of Oz, the required elements to succeed and overcome are the innocence and revealed woundedness of a child, the limits of courage that can only come from accessing the furthest corners of core fears, the facing of a broken heart and the empty loss it brings, and the humble, emerging wisdom that explodes when one admits one's basic foolishness. The Key Role Desperation Plays in Recovery, Self-Healing and Actualization We take these journeys through all our "coming of age" life challenges. That was my "moving" story, which I think allows and provides me with a deep level of compassion and understanding to whoever comes to see me searching for resolution and transformation, always initially beyond knowing; instead driven by an inconsolable and desperate need for change and unwillingness to continue staying the same in a life that can't and therefore doesn't work. These are amazing journeys of discovery that include realizing, like the revealing of the Wizard of Oz, much is the opposite of how it's presented or appears. There is always great and healing release as these outcomes occur, which I believe in many key and peaking ways currently describes and defines the real challenges of our times. How We Are In Turn Free to Support the Greater Good and Create a Better World


As we solve our own problems, we turn naturally to support the greater good, with earned wherewithal to solve problems around us, which brings tremendous, very helpful impact. Such are the expanding circles of achieving true Centering, which then becomes a much wider offering, and win-win outcomes. It goes without saying through these realizations any designated "other" evaporates and, as multidimensional spiritual beings of activating consciousness - each with our own unique and equal place of belonging as free, authentic, creating selves seeking to contribute in fulfilling ways to both provide for ourselves and share in the world - we restore balance, like the Star Wars myth, and honor the divine "force" that is our soul's core. That becomes peace on earth, good will, and safety and prosperity that works for all.

Are There Angels Are there angels here beside us as we journey life's winding road, Sent from heaven here to guide us along future paths unknown? I saw an angel in my dream with an iridescent smile, raven hair, delicate wings and a warm angelic style. She bore a sweet resemblance to someone I used to know, but the era had lapsed, long since passed, for the winds of time do blow. She told me of a heavenly land, a paradise she claimed, that awaits the souls of everyone who worships God's name. She showed me living waters baring life of endless flow, unconditional love for our master above a place where streets are paved in gold. And when my dream came to an end she kissed me tenderly, whispered we'll soon meet again when God feels it's meant to be. In the morning I awakened to the dawning of the day, with my spirit a glow for I'd been kissed by a rose, in this dream I'll cherish till my dying day. Yes angels walk beside us however unbelievable it seems, sent from heaven here to guide us even in our dreams. Š Kathy J Parenteau Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/are-there-angels


I have done a lot work on myself to gain greater clarity. I have taken inventory and looked more deeply to understand my weaknesses as well as my strengths. It has been important to look within and not to be judgmental of myself. There is no one person who can be everything and so I can’t expect that of myself. I used to be very critical and judgmental of others. Cultural and self-righteous religious programming taught me to look at others and be critical of their choices if those choices brought negative results to them. I would be critical if those results were in opposition to what I wanted for myself. I would be critical if I could not understand why they would even make that choice when it seemed obvious to me that the results would be negative. Who was I to judge? While I was being critical and judgmental toward others, I was making major choices and decisions that brought me shame, embarrassment and guilt. I became so bogged down in my own messy choices, that I did not have time to be so critical of others. The criticism turned inward. Many of my choices were not only hurtful, embarrassing and shameful to me; they were shameful and also brought heartache to my family. I know it is not easy to walk around carrying the weight of guilt and shame. It is a little easier when the results of your actions can be hidden. If those actions and decisions directly involve others, you feel the weight of your actions even more. It gets pretty heavy. It becomes harder to move forward. Shame and guilt are not easy to carry; they slow down the progress of your life. I believe it is easier to ask others to forgive you than to forgive yourself because you cannot walk away from yourself. You cannot avoid looking yourself in the mirror every day. Those results are yours. You live with them day in and day out. Those results affect your body, they affect your environment. They affect the people you live with and are around every day either


directly or indirectly. Whatever affects you, affects those who are close to you. Emotionally they carry your burdens with you. I knew I had to do something about my guilt and shame. Although the answer was simple, I found it hard. So often during this time, I would ask God for forgiveness. I would ask my family for forgiveness. The one person that I failed to ask for forgiveness was me. I held myself accountable. I held myself in judgment. I could not move forward without forgiving myself. When I was able to forgive myself, it gave me a different way of looking at the world and a different view of others. I began to see me in others. There is a saying by those who have come to see themselves in others that goes like this: “But for the grace of God, go I.” You understand the meaning of this phrase when you have fallen from grace yourself. You realize that it could easily have been you making that same mistake or choice. You become more understanding of the plight of others and how easy it is by one choice to fall from grace. Putting myself in the place of others, keeps me in a place of forgiveness, tolerance and compassion. It has been a long hard road from thinking that because of my religious beliefs that I had some inside track to perfection or that I was immune to bad choices. There is no such thing. But all things work out for good. We just have to look for the good within it. I believe we sometimes put labels on choices and then pressure ourselves to act or react based upon the labels. We forgive or not based upon our personal findings and determinations on depth of the errors. I also came to realize that when I judged others, I used myself as the basis of that judgement, particularly when I would say, “I would not do that.” I felt the need to minimize judgment when I realized that I was making myself the criteria upon which I judged others. The truth was and is that I don’t really know what I would do if I was in that other person’s situation. And based upon my past decisions and choices, I am in no position to cast judgment. I want to live in a nonjudgmental space. I want to allow others to live their lives and make their choices as I make mine. I want to be forgiving of my fellowman as I would hope to be forgiven. And then I want to forgive myself and not hold myself or others hostage to guilt and shame. I want to remind myself that all things will work out for good because there is good in everything, even the perceived bad choices that I have made. I just have to look for it. Love, Rebecca About Rebecca: I am Rebecca Washington. I have not always appreciated myself, my gifts, talents, intellect, internal or external beauty that I possess. The lack of appreciation and acknowledgement has been reflected in how I think the world sees me. But the world can only see what I show it and allow it to see. Casting all of that behind me, I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s crazy world; your personality, your sense of humor, and most importantly, your heart. All of these elements brought me to this: "Love, Rebecca."


It was said that I was a contented baby. I feel like my life has been through many twists and turns and now I am back to that contented feeling again. Perhaps as a baby I knew where I would return- to the land of contentment. I have shelter and money-just enough for my needs. I have family-just the right amount of amazing people. I have my health with just enough health problems to keep me grateful for my good health. I have psychic abilities-just enough to guide my way. I have friends-just enough people to play with. I have faith that All Is Well- enough to let me sleep peacefully at night. I have drama unfolding around me-just enough so I don’t become bored. I have healing abilities-just enough to serve humanity in my own humble way. I am insightful but not so much that you are an open book. I have weird energetic anomalies occurring at times-but not anything that frightens me. I do experience fear sometimes about 3d life-just enough to have something to surrender. I have good communication with loved ones who have passed-just enough that I do not grieve. I have identity with my eternal self-just enough that I never forget I am a vulnerable human. I have love in my heart that most times feels like just enough and sometimes feels like it is all I am. I have thrills, like the thunder this morning- just enough to inspire me. I experience tension sometimes followed by release-just enough to sustain dynamic growth. I have teachers in abundance-and I find that to be just enough. I have angels, guides and protection in abundance too-that is also enough. My guide OMED almost always signs off with 7 loves and ALL IS WELL! To me it feels like just enough!

Healing can take time. Nature does not rush this kind of mending process. It takes so much time because we are not just healing our own wounds. We are healing the world’s wounds, too. We are healing our past, which manifests in our present and creates our future. We heal how we see the world and how the world sees us. We think we are alone with our ‘stuff’, but we aren’t. With every clearing of our emotional debris, with every foray into a healthier way of being, with every excavation and release of old material, we heal the collective heart too. So many of our familial and karmic ancestors had little opportunity to heal their pains. When we heal, their spirits breathe a sigh of relief. Our past is healed. Our future is healed. And we can live more consciously and thoughtfully in the present. Aesop once said, “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” Every bit of love and tenderness we offer our pain benefits everything and everyone. As we heal, we all heal, together.

SPIRIT SCIENCE - CREATED BY JORDAN DAVID PEARCE DUCHNYCZ Here is a great You Tube with many videos on all types of metaphysical and spiritual topics. Since our mission to enlighten and inform, we will be posting at least one a month to be sure you have a great background in many aspects of metaphysics and spirituality. In this week’s lesson, we take a look at chakras and how your body receives energy. After last week, we got a lot of questions about HOW thought affected you and the world around you. Did you know that your body has a system for this? Everything is energy and everything vibrates differently depending on the frequency. If you study musical octaves, you see that all of the vibrations in existence have a harmonic pattern that they all flow through. The chakra system works on the same principle. This is how you receive energy from the world around you, the world of thoughts and emotion. The human body is also an emitter of energy through what we call “Aura’s” (Not discussed here, but still very relevant).

Space Rocks This month I will cover Meteorite, black and brown Tektite, and Moldavite, because all of these rocks are similar in their energies. Meteorites are bits of an actual meteor that has crashed to the earth and cooled. Some of these fragments are thousands, or even millions of years old. Others are quite recent. Meteorites are heavy rocks containing iron and/or nickel, and rarely, beautiful crystals of olivine. Tektites are different from meteorites. They are the resulting material from a meteor that has heated up and fused with the native rocks upon impact. Tektites are glassy and usually black,


dark brown, or green in appearance. Moldavite is a particular form of tektite that is an extremely bright, dark, lusterous and gemmy green. It is highly prized as a gem and is expensive. Moldavite only comes from one particular meteor hit about 14-15 million years ago in what is now present day Bavaria. Moldavite can be found all around that area, especially the Czech Republic. All of the varieties of space rock bring to meditation a certain awareness of the Earth’s Place in the Universe, its shocking significance and insignificance, its incredible minutia and massiveness. Meteorites, tektites and moldavites help to strengthen the bond between the inner space of the mind and the outer space of the universe. They are odd rocks, both intensely high -frequency yet strangely “heavy”. The energy is very strong and most people can feel a connection with very little direction or focus. Space rocks can also help to strengthen our telepathic abilities with sentient beings both on this world and those from other planets. Tektites, especially moldavites, are particularly good for both initiating and strengthening communication and telepathic abilities between intelligent beings. I find space rocks to be useful for philosophers, teacher, artists and creative types. Also scientists, paranormal investigators, ghost-hunters, alien-enthusiasts, or anyone else who works with the mysteries of the natural world seem to work well with these rocks. I have, however, seen more that a few negative reactions from professional Astrologers, Tarot Readers, and other intuitives. I suspect that those who spend much of their life tapping into deep psychic forces need grounding stones to help balance that energy. Moldavite especially can send their heads spinning! Space rocks tend to have too much high-energy for their comfort. About Christina: Christina Hall grew up in Henrietta, NY and currently resides in Rochester with her husband and two children. Christina has been collecting minerals since the age of 8, and has been studying the metaphysics of rocks and minerals since she was 12 years old. After a brief time at American University in D.C. to study politics, she came back to her hometown and focused on her first love of mineral collecting and meditation.

Many years ago, in the broad valley of the Upper Delaware, near what is now called Margaretville, New York, several Mohawk and Oneida families made camp for summer hunting and gathering. It happened that a dispute over territory arose between the two groups, and soon afterwards the death of a warrior was discovered. Who was responsible? There were allegations and counter-allegations. Our Mission The Blue Deer Center is an important home for the teachings and practices of Heart -- those ancestral traditions of healing, ritual and retreat which restore connection to self, community and the Natural World. Authentic Wisdom Traditions - About Elders "The teachings are for all, not just for Indians...The white people never wanted to learn before...Now they have a different understanding, and they do want to learn. We are all children of God. The tradition is open to anyone who wants to learn. But who really wants to learn?" —Don Jose Matsuwa, Huichol, 1989

The Queen’s Chronicles: WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS It is raining. Pouring. Again! For weeks now it has rained just about every day. The entire Northeast is inundated with more rain than we can possibly deal with. In the best of times, precipitation is seen as beneficent, raining down life-sustaining liquids for our benefit. And then we are grateful, or ought to be. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. We are nearly drowning in the stuff. Saturated, soaked, sogged. Completely waterlogged. Rivers rushing down city streets, the drains overflowing. Towns, fields and highways flooded. Dams, bridges, houses and lives swept irrevocably away. And the predicted storms aren’t over yet. People have long believed that bad weather is some kind of vengeful divine retribution. Punishment for our earthly misbehavior. Certainly in the face of extreme hardship, this is a tempting response, based, perhaps, on guilt. But, of course, weather is weather, a neutral force. Our perception of whether it is good or bad is based solely and myopically on our own immediate inconvenience. But maybe this rain is not aimed at us. Maybe Mother Earth is engaged in a deep purification ritual, a much needed purging of Her soiled body and profound pain. Picture Her, like any rape victim standing under a pounding shower for hours, days and weeks, trying to wash away the dirt and degradation that we have heaped upon Her so mercilessly. Or maybe She is weeping, sobbing, down pouring tears of sad disappointment in us, Her errant, arrogant offspring, so rude and disrespectful. After all, just look at what we gave the Poor Old Dear for Mother’s Day in gratitude for all of Her great gifts to us: greenhouse gases, radiation, drilling, missile tests, oil spills and chemical trails. Or this is a watery warning, perhaps. A reminder to appreciate the present and prepare for the future. To re-enforce our roofs, buy Wellington boots and build a safe, waterproof ark where we can collect, preserve and protect, two by two, all of our best intentions and human qualities: hope and love, charity and understanding, forgiveness and peace, compassion and reverence for all life.

Hold On To Your Dream Author Unknown There's a voice that calls to some of us From somewhere deep inside A voice that will not give us peace, Until at least we've tried To catch that bright elusive star, Though foolish it may seem To those not driven as we are To hold on to a dream. It's not just thoughts of fame or wealth That keep us hanging on When others would have given up, When all but hope is gone. When sometimes even hope grows dim And casts its faintest beam, We wonder if it's worth it all To hold on to a dream. And then that voice inside of us That others cannot know Tells us that our chance will come, That we must not let go. If we can only persevere Someday our star till gleam! And they'll know why we had to try To hold on to our dream.


Music makes you feel; it interacts with your emotions. Everyone has snapped their fingers to a lively beat, and relaxed to the soothing sound of the ocean. We all experience sound waves interacting with our emotions. Sound waves don't isolate our emotions and ignore all the rest of the waves in our bodies. Sound waves interact with all of the waves in close proximity. That is simply science! Sound waves interact with our brain waves, taking them to alpha, beta, theta and delta ranges. How significant is this? When operating at certain brainwaves, our bodies produce healthy chemicals and repair our bodies. At other brain waves, one can quit smoking with greater ease. In short, controlling a population's brain waves shapes their behavior and influences their health. Focusing on this presents a whole new way of looking at our world. Sound can help or harm us. We must be aware of the power of sound - for our own good. Sound can be used as a weapon and can slowly make a person sick. We are vulnerable, if sound is used to control us. This can be done without our knowledge, making us puppets. How about our physical health? Does sound impact that? Researcher Sharry Edwards demonstrated that if she plays the frequency associated with the supplement niacin, then the listener's face flushes - without taking the pill. This makes sense as we ingest sounds in our ears and skin. Perhaps sound interferes with neurotransmitters or other signals in the body. Sound is invasive! With Sharry Edward's free nanovoice.org software, a Fast Fourier Transformer breaks your voice into component pitches, letting you see how your voice's component frequencies change after taking a pill or eating. This strengthens the connection between what you eat and frequencies in our body's symphonies. One might question why people haven't noticed that sound interacts subtly with matter. Sound waves are subtle energy, with tiny influences. We have to listen to the very same tone for a long time to notice its impact. In the mean time we hear different sounds that can cancel each other out. Think of running water on a rock. Of course the water runs off and the rock remains the same. The force of the water is miniscule compared to the strength of the rock. However after gazing at the Grand Canyon, it becomes clear that the pliable water flow does change the rock - slowly but surely the water carves mountains. And so it is with the tiny waves of sound. Slowly, but continually they shape and mold us, just like the relentless impact of ocean waves that grind small pebbles into sand. The use of sacred and uplifting music impacts us all far more than we ever dreamed. Right along with good nutrition is good music, for a better tomorrow! We are what we eat, but equally we are what we listen to! Assuming that sound waves intermingle with waves in our body, how do we know what kind of music to listen to? Music with rhythms that match a


healthy heart rate improves our well being, because our heart matches the beat. Studies show that rock and heavy metal music exposure can kill a plant, while classical music stimulates the plant's growth. Even more intriguing is that recorded sounds of nature improve plant growth more than classical music. Mother Nature's lullabies are the most healing sounds for plants. Ancient people suspected this as they observed numeric patterns that repeatedly occur in nature, such as patterns found in a bee hive, a sea shell or a galaxy. They observed Mother Nature's own signature and converted these numbers to music. They also listened to the "sounds of the stars." Ancient music reflected numeric structures found in Heaven and Earth. Even their musical scales, upon which all music was played, incorporated nature's fingerprints. Ancient music was controlled by the governments to consistently maintain these beneficial patterns. It is difficult to imagine this today with the great freedom that we enjoy to listen to anything that we want, but this was not so in ancient times. For example in ancient Egyptian art there were NO changes in any aspect of it during 3,000 years. Really? Today, art changes day by day. Long ago no creativity was tolerated. This practice can be observed in stone art that has survived many years, while the memorized or improvised music perished. However, ancient China's Department of Measurement regulated and policed the length of musical instruments to control the pitches the population heard. This is evidence that music was controlled, just like art. Creativity was not acceptable in art or music and in fact was considered dangerous, akin to our perception of terrorism today. Sages of many great civilizations warn of danger when new vibratory patterns (music) are heard by its citizens; they strived to preserve their blessed sonic patterns copying nature and the stars that uplifted and stabilized their citizens. Some musicians today are replicating ancient techniques to tune to the vibratory patterns found in nature. The author has been utilizing these ancient practices in her music by incorporating Fibonacci, Solfeggio, flower frequencies and star tones and elements into her music. The quest to regain another level of health through sound has begun, and cannot be stopped. About Jill: Jill Mattson is a prolific Artist, Musician and Author.

Today’s lesson invokes the Law of Cause and Effect, and is actually quite simple to understand, although difficult for most of us to put into practice. Many of us struggle trying to “get what we want,” but to obtain your desires easily and effortlessly, you must first believe that you have what you want…and such an abundance of it, that you are able to give what you want, away to others. For example, if you want peace in your life, you must first learn engage with everything and everyone in a peaceful manner. We remain stuck exactly where we are, when we continue to entertain limited rational minded ideas such as: “I will feel peaceful or happy once I am finished with this project,” or “I will have peace once I know the outcome of this situation,” or “I will have peace once I make it to retirement.” We allow ourselves to believe that peace or happiness is always somewhere in the future, and at the moment is not obtainable. This type of belief system defies every aspect of the Law of Cause and Effect, and most certainly the Law of Attraction. These type of belief patterns are the exact fuel Rational Mind uses to prompt you into unpleasant tasks requiring forced action. Rational Mind allows you to believe that, “If I DO this, I will have that.” We believe that we must first DO something, so we may have the peace that we want sometime in the near to distant future. When Rational Mind pokes and prods us to take actions that feel unpleasant, this is most certainly forced action, not inspired action. We attempt to motivate ourselves with goal oriented ideas to support the goal such as, “no pain, no gain.” For this reason, many of goals requiring forced action fall victim to procrastination,because actually engaging with any forced action immediately creates an experience of inner conflict. You really don’t want to engage with the task, but you want peace…however not engaging with an unpleasant task actually feels more peaceful. Can you see the cycle? Then, the emotional realm shows up. Inner Dialogue shifts into becoming the Inner Critic, and


you become subject to feeling guilty, lazy, or perhaps incapable, and here comes the anxiety or depression. How to move the Law of Cause and Effect through Inspired Action If you seek Inner Peace, you must become that Peace. You must become aware of the inner peace within you, invoke it, engage with it, honor it, and allow it to work through you. you must BE peaceful in all that you do. Walk slowly and with peaceful intention. Do not rush around. Speak only kind and peaceful words. Drive peacefully. No road rage! Eat peacefully. Do not read texts and emails, or work during meals. Dress yourself peacefully. Smile at everyone you meet. Applying any one of the above mentioned practices will begin to shift your day-to-day living, so that you are able to experience peace in all that you do instead of peace being a goal that might be reached in the future. May peace become the guide for all of your actions.

Tom has provided something different this month. He skyped into my meetup a few years ago and he has given permission for me to use his blogs for the magazine. Then he just emailed to ask would you publish this article. His has written a book Atlantis & Lemuria and this is continuing information he would like to share. Thanks Tom! There has been speculation about the very existence of the continents of Atlantis and Lemuria for literally hundreds of years. Yes, they did exist, but all records of their societies’ existence for over 50,000 years were destroyed, with the exception of the writings of Plato and legends. The continent of Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean, but most of it perished in an enormous natural disaster when a line of volcanoes, bisecting the continent on top of the MidAtlantic Ridge, all erupted approximately 31,000 years ago. A few remnants remained—the Bahamas to the south, a few islands off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire, Bermuda and the Canary Islands. These islands were also wiped clean by the tsunamis that followed. There were seven other islands slightly to the west of the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that I’ll cover below. Before the natural disaster, the continent of Atlantis was in the shape of a parallelogram. To the east, Atlantis came within 30 miles (48 kilometers) of the African Coast, then named the Land of OZ. To the west it ran parallel approximately 100 miles (160 kilometers) off the North American coastline. Please keep in mind these latitudes and longitudes act as BOUNDARIES for the continent. The Atlantean Continent was contained within these boundaries. Northern edge: Latitude 47° N Southern edge: Latitude 30° N Southern tip: Latitude 26° N, 18° W. Longitude Western edge: 75° - 80° W. Longitude Eastern edge: 17°-18° W. Longitude You can go to www.earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/ and place your cursor in the Atlantic and in the right hand lower corner the longitudes and latitudes will be displayed. Just move your cursor to the above coordinates to see Atlantis’ location. There are buttons at the top to zoom out or in as needed. The Atlantean Continent was about 10% larger than present-day Australia. Since the shape of the Atlantean Continent was a parallelogram, let’s take the 47° North Latitude first. If you were to draw a line across the Atlantic Ocean, starting a little under the southern coast of Newfoundland to where it intersects 17° West Longitude, that’s as far to the east the continent


extended. Then, if you were to draw a line across the Atlantic at 30° North Latitude when it intersects 18° West Longitude, you have three sides of the parallelogram. Where Latitude 47° North intersects 75° West Longitude this gives you the western point for the northern edge of the continent. Draw a line down parallel to the North American Continent curving along the Florida coast until it meets 26° latitude. That is the tail of the Atlantean Continent, encompassing what we know as the Bahama Islands today. The tail began at the 30° North Latitude at approximately 77° West Longitude. When the Atlantean Continent sank, it displaced an enormous amount of water, resulting in all of the oceans of the world rising 160 feet (49 meters) destroying every single city, town, and village worldwide. Most of the records of the world were lost at that moment in history. The seven other islands previously mentioned included Poseidia, round in shape and about the size of Cuba, and located on a line to the east, slightly above present day Boston. Aryan, a little larger than the island of Hispaniola was 375 miles (603 km) to the south. Below Aryan, there were five other islands—one so small that some accounts do not list it, but it was inhabited. Over a long period of time Poseidia was inhabited by the Law of One people and Aryan and its island group by the Sons of Belial. Their dislike for each other reached a boiling point 12,500 years ago and they destroyed themselves in a horrific war, where one-and-one-half million people died the first day. The islands sank into the Atlantic, and the oceans of the world rose 41 feet (12.5 meters). This was when the story of Noah and the Ark actually took place. The continent of Mu, or Lemuria as it was also called, was in the shape of a potato and about 12% larger than present day Australia. Before the sinking of the Atlantean Continent it was connected to what is now Japan, but the rising seas broke the connection. It came within about 100 miles of present day Hawaii, and for thousands of years the Lemurians vacationed there, imprinting the islands with their energy. Here are the longitudes and latitudes for the continent of Mu or Lemuria. Northern edge: Latitude 37°- 38° N Southern edge: Latitude 14.5° N Southern Tip: Latitude 12.5° N, 130° E. Longitude Western edge: 135° - 145° E. Longitude Eastern edge: 180°-165° W. Longitude The northern edge of the continent varied between 37° and 38° Latitude North until it intersected with 135° East Longitude and turned down, coming close to Hawaii. Then you have the southern edge of the Mu continent at 14.5° intersecting with 180° West Longitude. The northern edge of Mu at around 38° Latitude North intersected the western edge at around 145° Longitude to form the western edge and drawing a line down to 14.5° Latitude forming the western edge of the continent. Mu also had a short tail in the middle of the continent, extending down to 12.5° Latitude North, 130° East Longitude. The continent of Mu was an idyllic place to live for thousands of years. That ended approximately 7,500 years ago when the seven countries not only destroyed themselves with


hydrogen type bombs, but also broke apart the continent. And again, millions of people perished all over the world when the oceans rose 170 feet (52 meters). Additionally, it destroyed all the records kept in those cities and towns. Is it any wonder that people have doubted these continents’ existence, when virtually all the records of their existence no longer exist? Lastly, I’ve been told to tell you that we will never destroy ourselves again; therefore we can learn the history of these two continents without fear of repeating ourselves.

In this episode of the Honest-To-God series that was down-stepped from The Akashic Records, Aingeal Rose & Ahonu discuss the rate and pace of change over time and manifesting over multiple lifetimes. Manifesting over multiple lifetimes was raised along with how to become more mindful and miracle-minded while in this time of extremely potent energies, and how we create our future through past and present thoughts. Donald Trump's inauguration came into the discussion along with the women's rights marches all over the world and how all of this was connected to time and manifesting outcomes. In the second half of the show, authentic business, new age manufacturing, and the new business mindset was the focus. Aingeal Rose outlined how "this is the time for your greatest manifestations". They talked about the effects of judgment and negative thinking, and about how confusion about what was happening with time was leading to suicide for many people all over the world. They discussed how to tell the universe what we really want, and how we are in a cause and effect universe, and they concluded with the advice of not falling into taking sides, accusations and blame. Ask yourself, "Why would you want to be a participant in creating a negative reality?"

The 6th Sense: Simply Processing Psychic-Medium Information There have been great strides to better understand information received through intuition, aka psychic-mediumship, aka the 6th sense. These strides have been in the areas of physics (understanding energy) and psi-phenomena (understanding the relationship of our mind and consciousness). However, people hang on to "what's working for them" even though a new truth may set them free. In a recent article published in The New Yorker magazine, "Why Facts Don't Change Our Minds" it discusses the innate nature humans have to stick with what they know despite new facts uncovered or new understandings developed. The researchers have concluded that people will maintain their social strengths versus stepping out of their personal territory for embrace a new idea or fact. (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-minds). We can explore this in regards to the 6th sense and psychic-medium information. Neuroscience tells us that the brain handles over 4 billion bits of information but only processes 2,000 bits in our waking state. The energies and various states of mind have been studied and measured while people are in deep meditative states and while experiencing alternate states of consciousness. There’s more “out there” and the brain has the ability to sense those billion bits of “other reality” information. This ability is the 6th sense. The sciences and new understandings of energies and consciousness have made it a very real part of our existence…actually bringing back to ourselves a sense that our ancestors knew and regularly used. We call that psychic-icity…a natural function of bits of information and the power of the brain to fill in the blanks of a physical-only environment. Psychic-icities are the experiences through the quality of being connected to our selves. Whether through thought, the senses, or in the events of our everyday lives, we have the power to feel the emotions of others (empathy), see flashes of images or visions, hear that inner voice, or “just know” things—and it’s all designed in our physical make-up. That’s what the new information and discoveries tell us. Psychic-icity is a brain thing…not a religious thing…a magical thing…or a mysterious thing. We can take out what we thought we knew based on… •

Fears of the unknown (the need for protection, demons, portals)


Myths to explain events (born with “the gift,” can’t read for this or that reason) •

New age razz-ma-tazz (higher vibrational people, tools and rules)

…and incorporate into our daily lives the natural connection to our Self and our Selves. Psychic-medium information is a function of receiving and understanding. In this age of information, it can be that simple.

We are all great swimmers, and our oceans and lakes support us so that we stay on top of the water. Our water has consciousness, and talks to us while we are immersed in it. Yes, our water talks. When we swim, our water becomes part of our body, and we are one body, one ocean, swimming along the currents and through the waves. We merge ourselves completely with the water's consciousness, and our swim is a trip in consciousness itself. It is so much more than what you experience in your surface lakes and oceans, where the consciousness of your water has become so densified and polluted that it has lost its voice and vitality and life force. It weakly calls out to you, but you don't hear it. It calls out to you for help. It calls out to you to stop polluting it, to stop bombarding it with ELF sound waves, to stop the whaling ships and underwater experiments, and oil spills, and submarines, and cruise ships from destroying and poisoning its life force. But alas, it rests on deaf ears. For the children of Earth are still deaf to the destruction they are causing the Earth. It's only the greedy politicians who know what they are doing, and they do it purposely to destroy the Earth for their own personal gain, in the name of bolstering the economy. Everything is for the economy, and nothing for the Earth or its people. Families don't count anymore, only the state of the economy counts. You never hear about the "state of the family" on the news, it's always the "state of the economy" you hear about. Well, when there are no longer any families alive, there won't be an economy either. So help yourself by helping your Earth. It's only through your returning your surface oceans and lands to their pristine state that you will return to a perfect economy where everyone lives in abundance and perfect health.

As a Mineral Dealer, I often have people come to my booth with a laundry list of crystals that they think will fix their problems. Many people aren’t sure how to properly choose crystals so I’d like to tell you what I do and how they really choose us. I’ve learned over the years that the Crystals have the power to pick the perfect holder only if they’re willing to listen. The Crystals I need resonate with me when I see them. I fall in love with the color and the crystals’ formation. I won’t be able to stop thinking about them. The other day I was at a man’s house buying some new material and I came across three beautiful Topaz crystals from Brazil. I immediately knew I had to take them home. I didn’t know why but I was absolutely in love and there was no doubt in my mind they were going home with me. I bought all three pieces but there was only one that really spoke to me. When I have Crystals that call to me like this I like to do a few things when I bring them home to make a good connection with them. First, I like to purify them with sage or incense. This is a personal experience and while I prefer sage and incense, I believe everyone should use their own method. Next, I like to meditate with them and feel their energy. I take “my” crystal from the Topaz set and sit down to reflect. I can feel the vibration of anything that calls to me with such power. As my hands start to vibrate, my body starts to relax, my third eye starts to buzz and my crown instantly opens. I sit there and just enjoy this feeling, resonating with my new buddy. Lastly, I like to reference my favorite spiritual books for guidance about what I experienced during meditation. I recommend, “Love is in the Earth” by Melody to go to for this. On this particular day, when I finished meditation, I reached for this book to help me. In it Melody says, “The energy of the Topaz acts through the laws of attraction and manifestation”. I was so shocked I just about fell over! I’ve read at least five books dealing with the law of attraction this past year. Learning to open myself to the laws of abundance has been a huge focus in my life recently. Melody’s words confirmed that I had indeed picked the perfect crystal. The true way to choose crystals was right in front of me all along. While buying guides and crystal explanation books have their place, had I looked up manifestation beforehand or chose a crystal based on someone else’s philosophy, I might have bought the wrong one. This Crystal came into my life when I needed it and I’m sure the same will happen for you, too. Choosing the right Crystal is about listening to our intuition and trusting when our gut says, “that’s the one”. Most importantly have fun with it! I hope this helps you in your journey to find your perfect crystal. A little background about me In November 2003, the universe sent me a telepathic message that I needed to start working with Crystals. Like anything new and different I responded with a baffled look on my face and a few incredulous words. I had seen people buying Crystals and thought to myself at the time, who spends that kind of money on a rock? However, this was one of those moments where the


message was so clear I couldn’t help but listen. I went to the local Crystal shop and picked out a few Crystals that really seemed to speak to me. When I got home from the shop, I asked the universe what to do next. I got on my computer and started looking up information on Crystals. There was a world out there that I never knew existed before. I started by carrying crystals in my pockets, well, the small ones at least. I continued to work with Crystals on my own and decided to further my studies at the Crystal Alchemy Academy in Canada for Crystal healing where I learned how to do energy work with different layouts and building grids. Crystals have always been my main draw, my conduit for my spiritual process. They’ve led me into other forms of Energy work, like becoming a Reiki Master, yet I always come back to Crystals, the medium that I connect with most. They have really been by my side, a best friend you could call them throughout my journey. In 2014, I opened Sonic Evolution, an online and traveling mineral shop, where I set up at mineral shows all over the country. I feel truly blessed as a Mineral Dealer to do what I love and help connect people with the Crystals that truly call to them. About Eric: I am located in the local Rochester area. We've been a traveling Gem, Mineral and Jewelry dealer for the past four years . Collecting minerals and making jewelry for over thirteen. At the end of 2015 I decided to invest my time and energy into my Etsy shop. I have the best customers and clients a business could ask for. I carry fine gem and minerals as well as many high vibrational stones.

CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL’S HIDDEN HEROES, hosted by Brooke Burke-Charvet, is a television show developed for teens in which each episode reveals the widespread goodwill in our world by featuring heroes in action as they demonstrate acts of kindness, compassion and commitment to others. Highlighted by funny, light-hearted moments, the show shines a bright light on everyday people who selflessly share their positive attitudes towards society and life with others by doing good deeds. Each episode of Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Hidden Heroes features three scenarios that capture everyday heroes in action in a highly entertaining and interactive format. The show, which includes user-generated content, is based in part on three Chicken Soup for the Soul books created with the Boniuk Foundation: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Be the Best You Can Be; Chicken Soup for the Soul: Create Your Best Future; and Chicken Soup for the Soul: Raising Great Kids. These books were made, with the support of the Boniuk Foundation, from thousands of stories specifically selected to build character, promote kindness, and encourage compassion, especially as a tool against bullying.

How can not-doing have value? We are a country where activity is increasingly fostered and promoted. Our public places often have a TV blaring. If there is silence, most pick up their cell phones. “Not-doing” is different from activities that may be considered down time, like watching TV, surfing the Internet, or engaging in some recreational activity. It means taking the time to “just be.” What a shocking concept! Wallace Shawn in My Dinner with Andre certainly thinks so: [In the workshops you did] you were trying to discover what it would be like to live for certain moments without having any particular thing that you were supposed to be doing . . . And I think I just simply object to that. I just don’t think I accept the idea that there should be moments in which you’re not trying to do anything. I think it is our nature to do things . . . I mean, if I’m sitting at home and I have nothing to do, well, I naturally reach for a book. I mean, what would be so great about sitting there and doing nothing? It seems absurd. Wally doesn’t realize that his continual doing prevents him from experiencing many wonders of life. If the sun doesn’t go down, you cannot see the stars. If you don’t stop your doing, you


might not be able to “see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower,” as William Blake puts it. Here are some more examples of how “not-doing” can enhance your life and the lives of those around you: Being in the Flow There is a deeper level of “doing” than all your ceaseless activity, called wu-wei in the Taoist tradition and translated as non-ego or spontaneous action. You probably have experienced wuwei during peak moments when playing a musical instrument, writing a poem, or engaging in sports. It’s a wonderful feeling when the mind stops and the action flows harmoniously and perfectly. As soon as you think, I’m doing great at this, the flow ceases and you make a mistake. During wu-wei, something deeper takes over and does a better job. Wu-wei happens more frequently when you letting go of you incessant doing. Loving Presence Rather than thinking you need to be active all the time, you may want to consider being a healing or loving presence in the world. The last in a series of Zen Oxherding Pictures, which depict the spiritual journey, is titled “Entering the Market Place with Helping Hands.” After achieving a state of oneness, the Buddha simply goes shopping. The accompanying verse reads: Barechested, barefooted, he comes into the market place. Muddied and dust-covered, how broadly he grins. Without recourse to mystic powers, withered trees he swiftly brings to bloom. Just going about his daily activities in a peaceful, centered way, the Buddha transforms his environment. A spiritually developed priest I know would enter a hospital room and all the monitors attached to the patient would return to their normal rhythms. You might not be a Buddha or a spiritually developed person, but you can be a healing presence to those around you. Think about it. Your presence is more important than speaking when someone is ill or going through a difficult time. I’m sure you’ve experienced this yourself—you don’t need advice or chit chat during these times. Knowing someone is there with you through it all somehow makes you feel better or lighter. Taking time to stop your continual doing and connect with your deeper self helps you become a loving/healing presence in the world. A Way to Achieve Spiritual Growth In essence, meditation is a “not-doing” practice. The techniques of watching your breath, saying a mantra, or tuning into your chakras are simple ways to help you arrive at a place of “beingness.” The Cloud of Unknowing, a 14th-century anonymous Christian work, expresses the depth that can be achieved when not-doing: Leave this everywhere and this something alone and choose this nowhere and this nothing.


Even though your physical senses can find nothing there on which to feed themselves for they think you are doing nothing, continue doing this nothing, and do it for the love of God. . . . And who is it that calls this nothing? Surely it is our outer [self] and not our inner [self]. Our inner [self] calls it All, for it teaches [us] to know the essence of all things. It’s important to realize there is more to life than continual activity. Underneath all this “doing” is a level of reality—a level of your being—that is loving and healing. Its action is spontaneous and perfect. This is what will bring you the joy and fulfillment you seek.
