Budddy the Cat Saved by Reiki


My friend and Reiki pal, Patti, saved her 12 year old cat's life by giving him Reiki.
Buddy was very sick - not eating or drinking and had lost control of his bladder. So Patti put him in a box in the bathroom. Periodically throughout the day she visited him and just put her hand on his back, giving him Reiki. After several hours of this, Buddy got up and used the litter box. Hooray! Then he drank a little water and soon was meowing to go outside. A miraculous recovery thanks to his loving mistress treating him with Love and Reiki.

Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful hands on healing art, practiced anciently by the Tibetan Buddhists and rediscovered by Mikao Usui last century in Japan.

17 Seconds of Pure Thought


Let's try this. This is VERY cool. Click on the green title and you will travel to a 5 minute awesome video of Esther Hicks speaking about the tremendous power of 68 seconds of pure thought! (17 secs. x 4 = 68 secs.).
The Law of Attraction and the Astonishing Power of Emotions - two books by Abraham-Hicks which have greatly inspired and helped me.

The Water Blessing






I have been going through major healing and clearing of emotional residues. These frequencies inhibit one's most perfect health and states of being. It's not easy but definitely worth the effort. A brilliant Nutritionist here in Prescott, Arizona, named Jane Kohner is my guide. The most recent path she's taken me on is working with the Bach Flower Remedies, which I am familiar with. Someone once said, "Working with the Bach Flowers is asking the Hand of God for permanent change."
As a bit of help, Jane gave me this Water Blessing, which is to bless the water molecules in your own body. After the work of Masaru Emoto.

Say three times: Susan, (your name) I love you.
Susan, (your name) I thank you.
Susan, (your name) I respect you.

Try it - it feels good!

Love and Blessings,
Susan

Forgiveness


Forgiveness is VITAL to our physical and emotional health. If there is one lesson to be gleaned from "A Course in Miracles," it is the power of forgiveness. Negative emotions held in the mind and body will produce unwanted effects. Emotions buried alive are not dead. Here is a 5 step process of forgiveness from Jane Kohner, Nutritionist and healer.

1. Forgive the people involved.

2. Be open on a spiritual level to allow 'them' to forgive you.

3. Forgive yourself.

4. Find the lesson. Something positive that you have gained from the problem. "Be Grateful.." " In all things give thanks."

5. Wish alll well!!

Ascension








I promised to write more about ascension, and this morning a superb article on the very subject appeared to me from the net. So here it is, author unknown. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, unknown author. I apologize for not being able to place the pictures where they belong in the article.. it can be a little game for your imagination!

DNA Encoding



DNA contains the instructions needed for a living organism to grow and function. It tells cells exactly what role they should play in the body. It holds instructions to make your heart cells beat, your limbs form in the correct place, the immune system fight infection, and your digestive system digest your dinner..

DNA carries its instructions in a code made from a four letter alphabet: G, A, T and C. The sequence of these letters is known as the genetic code..



A molecule of DNA resembles a twisted ladder. Each rung of the ladder is made up of two DNA letters. A always binds to T and G always binds to C. The binding of the letters causes the whole molecule to coil up into a spiral staircase-like structure called a double helix..


The Ascension Process
The process of returning to twelve strands of DNA in our current human form is known as Ascension. Ascension is the process by which the embodiment is elevated in vibration a little at a time, until it is vibrating to the resonance of unconditional love. During this process, at an etherical level, ten additional strands of DNA are connected within the circuitry of the body and the brain. As the embodiment elevates in vibration, and as the new DNA is connected, fear-based patterns and beliefs are released simultaneously and make room for the experience of more joy, creativity and self-expression..



Ten Strands are Interdimensional
In 4D [Human dimensionality], you have two DNA strands [loops or toroids]. Those who would tell you that you have 12 are giving you a 4D description of a multidimensional puzzle. There are truly only two biological or physical strands. All of the rest, the ten that are not mentioned and not described and not visible in 4D, are in layers within the two you can see. They are not additional strands or loops or toroids. They lay upon the biological ones, many of them interfacing biologically with the strands that you are able to see. So, there are really two strands with another ten interdimensional aspects upon them. That is how you arrive at the 12. Ten you cannot see, and two you can..

In embracing the first set of twelve strands of DNA, one is considered "Christed." Many metaphysicians have spoken of the return of the "Christ." The return of "Christ" is and will be in the form of many who will embody the new genetics. The individual who has embodied twelve strands of DNA or has become "Christed" moves beyond limitation within human form. In moving beyond limitation, the individual also moves out of fear. As all of mankind embodies the new genetics, civilisation will gradually restructure itself to be based on unconditional love..

love..



The joining of the brain's hemispheres
You are in the process of reuniting the right and left hemispheres of your brain (which is the way it was designed to be). Once this is accomplished, wondrous things begin to happen: your creativity blossoms along with the mental agility and wherewithal to manifest your creative visions. You gain access to the levels of the brain which resonate to the frequencies of the higher dimensions, and you tap into the Light packets of wisdom and cosmic information that are stored there. The master glands within the brain are activated and you reconnect with the aspects of yourself that have lain dormant for thousands of years..

Ascension Chambers
Within the pyramids of ancient Egypt, initiates were gradually elevated in vibration a little at a time over a time frame of many years. This resulted in the cellular restructuring of their bodies to what is called "crystalline" in form. The final purpose of the initiations in Egypt was for initiates to transcend the experience of death and take their embodiment into the next dimension. In order to accomplish this, the cellular restructuring to the "crystalline" form was a necessity..



The pyramids were only required by those with a lower vibration (the partially conscious humanoid form) and therefore were deemed necessary to support ascension in this fashion. Each chamber within the pyramid utilised a variety of devices to hold a specific vibration necessary to ascend a form from 5024 to 45,000 strands of DNA. Initiates entered the pyramid for varying time frames and learned to hold the vibrations within the chambers of their own accord..

DNA as a means of communication
Encodements are contained in the cellular-genetic makeup. Chakra systems would be somewhat like power transformers, resistors and capacitors. Every cell has a consciousness, so that when the personality of the human gets bogged down and unable to move forward, the consciousness of the “high self” may throw a switch that gives a message to the cellular structures that says, “We need to create some kind of situation in order to prod the personality and bring them back on track..”



Certain DNA blueprints of possibilities are sent to the high self. It could possibly be some form of accident or illness, or perhaps enlightening information from a friend, and the higher self will then offer these blueprints to the soul, who will then say, “This is what we need to do,” and subsequently throws a switch that will bring certain situations into manifestation. And this is the reason we have said that the DNA and the RNA are communication systems. It would be as if DNA is the link to high self and soul and RNA would be the soul’s response in a certain sense..

Light (information) expresses through the medium of what we call consciousness, and that consciousness is encoded within DNA. The +/- polarities in light are comparable to the DNA-RNA, which could be described as the polarities of human consciousness.



This is also the reason that human consciousness goes from light to dark



New equipment - new programs
To strengthen the connection to your Higher Selves, new attributes will be employed. You are in the process of changing a critical part of the biology known to you as DNA. This new template allows you to walk in full unison with your Higher Self in every moment. Even after the new part is installed, it will need to be programmed. This programming will be in the area of establishing the synaptic pathways in the brain needed for full use of the new equipment. The re-connection of the DNA by itself only provides the opportunity for higher communication. It is still necessary to connect the wires to the new equipment. There are many ways to establish new synaptic pathways in the higher vibrations of the New Earth. Many more modalities will be presenting themselves to fully connect the new hardware. (The entire akashic records are in your DNA...

Universal law provides that the physical form for Divine life expression of a species may be altered or reformatted only by those who dwell therein. This means that the DNA of a species of Earth can only be altered through the creative choice of the consciousness that dwells within the body form. What this means for you is that the human DNA that is responsible for every aspect of your physical presence cannot be altered by other beings, nor can it be changed by you from outside of the physical plane. How do you change your own DNA? To change your DNA and to change your structure you need to change your emotions. You also need to change your thoughts because to do these two things means to change your biochemistry and your brain chemistry..

The vibration of your entire body is shifting to a higher frequency during cellular transformation. Some are experiencing many different physical symptoms which can be strong at times or can be very subtle. Within this lifetime, there is more evolution taking place in your body than in the total of all previous lifetimes on this planet. A transformation change is taking place in your body as well as in the earth. The very cell structure of your body is changing which will allow you to withstand and integrate these higher frequencies of energy..

Ascension Essential Oil Blend


I came across this Ascension Blend while on vacation last week in Oregon. What a great concept! Here are the ingredients: Frankincense, Rosewood, Myrrh, Lemongrass and Patchouli. I tried it yesterday and recommend to go easy on the Lemongrass because it definitely dominates. Use freely on wrists and on Third Eye and Crown chakras for meditation or anytime. Copied from the blend by House of Health.

Here is a picture of a Frankincense tree!
I promise to write more about ascension. In the meantime you can google it and find lots of info.

Casa de la Tierra





Casa de la Tierra

Half buried within the Paleozoic sandstone grows the “Casa de la Tierra”, our passive solar, semi-earth sheltered home. The design incorporates a solar greenhouse on the south side, which is buried 4 feet into the earth. Adjoining the greenhouse on either side are additional windows, which will provide passive solar heat. The strategic placement of windows within the greenhouse and house will allow the solar heated air to circulate within the living space.

Our “air conditioning system” consists of subterranean vents on the north side. As cool air enters the house through these vents, warm air is exhausted through a series of turbine vents on the upper area of the slanted ceiling. In a light wind, all interior air will be replaced in approximately 8 minutes….cool!

We will also use a woodstove (burning the dead and down wood from our 40 acres), solar water heaters, solar hot tub, and outdoor shower. And of course, a solar electric system since we are off the grid (and satellite TV- Yeah!)

Our composting toilet and graywater system will allow us to continue to use our water wisely, since every drop of drinking water has to be hauled in. Our current annual water use is just over 20,000 gallons, which provides for us, our 3 dogs and 2 gardens, 2 cats and 5 chickens. A rainwater collection system will supplement our summer water use.

Our concrete filled block walls will be covered on the outside with native red sandstone, resulting in an 18 inch thick wall (not a lot of R value, but Mucho thermal mass).

All of our 31 windows and 3 exterior doors have been recycled from various locations!

A solarium which will be added after completion, will be comprised also of used building materials.

We see ourselves as responsible stewards of the land, and are being as Green as is humanly possible for us to be in the building and ongoing operation of our home. Our limited use of propane for cooking and optional water heating keeps our carbon footprint at a minimum.

Thistledown Velvet ant


I saw a little white chicken feather walking down the path - - wait a minute! This one has legs and it is walking by itself. Well, it was just the cutest little insect imaginable. My naturalist partner, Glenn, identified it as a velvet ant. So we looked it up in the bug book and it is a Thistledown Velvet Ant,, which is actually a wasp which has a nasty sting and predates other wasps. Note: the one i saw was MUCH cuter than this picture. Just to show the amazing variety of life in the desert.

Aromatherapy Meditation Chakra Banquet


The field of aromatherapy is vast, wide and deep. It has added greatly to my health and well-being, and that of my clients. The essential oils of flowers, plants and trees reestablish our link with the pure world of nature, and also united one's body, mind and soul.
Recently I have added this ritual to the beginning of my nightly meditations. I enjoy it immensely and it aids the meditation process. Background - candlelight and soft music (like Chinmaya Dunster's Buddha Moon!). Right now I am in love with Neroli, which is a citrus oil, but smells like roses could smell.. Put a few drops on each wrist,, rub together and inhale. Put a few drops on your heart chakra - draw a spiral or an infinity symbol.
Next I use Sandalwood essential oil for the third eye. Same process - first place a few drops on each wrist and inhale, then anoint the third eye. Then Frankincense for the crown chakra. Put a few drops right into yours scalp - it won't mess up your hair. Also the wrists. For the throat chakra right now I am using Sandalwood again.
For the solar plexus chakra how about Spikenard or Rosemary?
Second chakra - nutmeg, pines, firs.
Root chakra - Vetiver! or Spikenard , spruces, pines. I place the oil at the base of the sacrum, on the back.
Lastly the feet - i am using a blend of cedarwood and ylang ylang and putting it at a spot between the big toe and second toe, on top of the foot. You can also use cinnamon on the soles of the feet.

You WILL feel different! Hopefufully relaxed, alert and peaceful!

More oils for each chakra:
Crown - Lavender, cypress, clary sage.
Third Eye - Lavender, Carrot seed, Ylang Ylang
Throat - Patchouli, Myrtle, Blue tansy, Chamomile
Heart - Lavender, Rosemary, Ylang Ylanlg
Solar Plexus - Lemongrass, Rosemary, Ginger, Basil
Sacral - Tea Tree, Clary Sage, Geranium
Root - Balsam poplar, Eucalyptus Radiata

Thanks to my teacher, Robin Michaels of Sedona, for the knowledge of essential oils for chakras.

My sister's Vejigante diorama


My brilliant and creative sister Judy, who happens to be a professor of English at the University of Puerto Rico, assembled this charming diorama on her kitchen floor.
The Vejigante is a sort of clown who chases away evil spirits. These characters appear at the carnivals in Puerto Rico and are attributed to the fusion of African, Spanish and Caribbean cultures which enrich Puerto Rico. This Vejigante is rowing the 3 Laughing Buddhas and the Angel across the mystic linoleum sea. When I visited Puerto Rico with her I fell in love with the amazing brightly colored and captivating little statues.

The whole point of this post is to show the picture but so far i can't do it. i will persist!! OK!! I just walked down to the library and managed to upload the rowboat picture. Thank you Ash Fork Public Library. And thank you, Judy, for enriching our visual experience!!

More about enzymes

Checkout Enzyme Nutrition by Dr. Edward Howell for the full, scientific picture of the absolutely critical importance of enzymes. If we don't have enough enzymes, what we have will be used first for digestion, and the body may not be able to accomplish maintenance and healing. As we age we have less enzymes, so build up your enzyme bank account by eating foods such as raw milk and butter, bananas, avocadoes, figs, dates, mangoes, grapes and honey, or by taking an enzyme supplement. (:

KIM CHI RECIPE

Kim Chi is full of enzymes, which are vital for digestion and maintaining the body's health. If you eat most cooked food, you could be lacking in enzymes, as cooking kills them.. Here is my friend, Carol, of Hillsboro, Oregon's most excellent Kim Chi recipe.

3 1/2 cups Chinese cabbage
1 bunch radishes - white or red
1 carrot - thinly sliced
2 T. salt
2 T. minced fresh ginger
1 T. minced garlic (optional)
a few green onions, sliced
1 t. cayenne or hot Korean red pepper or crushed red pepper flakes (or more)
1 t. sugar

Chop cabbage into approx. 1"x2" pieces.
Slice radishes. In large bowl put 5 C. water and salt. Add cabbage and radish and cover. Let sit for 12 hours, turning a few times. Place garlic, ginger, etc. in bowl and mix. Removed cabbage and radish from brine and place in bowl with spices, Mix well. Place cabbage mixture in quart jar and cover with brine, leaving 1" space at top. Cover loosely and let ferment at room temp. for 3 to 7 days. In warm weather 3 days does it. Refrigerate - keeps quite a while. Eat about 1/4 cup a day. Kim Chi has been named a National Treasure by Korea.

Learning to blog


today i am learning how to blog for the very first time ever.
