​The magnitude and the amazing power of an Inner Space Journey can be difficult to convey in words, on websites or in promotional materials.  So I share with you today a personal tale of a spontaneous Inner Space journey I went on this morning…
 
I am blessed to have a “room of her own” off my bedroom.  For creation, for movement and yoga, for crystal play and activations.  My sacred space.  I keep my andara crystals on a shelf in front of the window, for sun and moon and star light access.
 
It is super cool how on different days and times of year, during certain alignments the different crystals activate and light up and communicate.  This morning it was electric live wire GOLD RAY.  Of all the crystals that were on the shelf in the sunlight, the golden were lit right up.
 
So, I sat, taking a moment of time for myself, and to tune into the messages encoded in the light codes.  Sitting with and listening to my andaras is my current most favorite way to meditate, to tune in a receive info.  My andara friends do many things for me and with me, but one of the more powerful things is their ability to connect through space and time.  They help anchor and bend light rays.  In ways that make the light ray communication accessible to our human self.  The create pathways for light codes, photonic pulses of light to enter our human energy field, body and our crystalline DNA.
 
I can feel folks with the questions…
How do Andaras work?  How do they help us receive light codes?  And then, what good are light codes anyway?  Are they going to help me with my day to day life?  And if so, how??
Why would I want to tune into my light body, and download light codes into my human form, and recalibrate my DNA?  What is any of that really? And how is it useful to me?
 
I openly share this personal story to answer this question – how it can happen in a multidimensional way.
 
Sometimes it remains elusive to our human brain what exactly the benefit of light codes are, or what it means to recalibrate a story and pattern held in your DNA.  I talk here at Inner Space often about photonic light, and how we can use it to release long held patterns of “darkness” in our own body, mind, emotional field, in our energy field and etheric band of memory. 
 
These places of darkness, what the yoga traditions call a samskaras (subtle body impressions), are these “punches” or “divots” in your multi dimensional self.  They hold fixed places in the brain, and are triggered to fire memory in the synapses.  They mold a groove or “pothole” into your emotional body, ones that we trip on time and time again.  The linger in the tissues of your body, especially the fascia, which acts as the “memory foam” of the body.  They hang out in the organs and in the cells.  They form geometric patterns in your subtle energy body, influencing the flow (or blockage) of prana.  They get coded into the DNA as family behavior patterns and habits, passed down generation to generation.
 
AND – these divots can be filled in with light and love and awareness.  They can be the places that hold our strength.  Our containers and cups of light.
 
So, back to my personal tale…
 
I have been getting the inklings of remembrance again that November is a “divot” in my family history and story.  And in my own heart, mind and body.  When I was nine, in November of 1979, my mother mustered up her strength and courage, and made a move to take us away from the house we were living in with my father.  He was abusive - physically and mentally, emotionally.  We had many scary moments, several hide outs in battered woman and children shelters.  Many long scary nights and days and years at home. 

On this November morning, we were making lunches and getting ready to hop on the school bus.  When my father got in the shower, my mum told me to take my brother and sister and down go the neighbors house.  There is a lot of intense detail to this story including 9 year old me listening on the basement stairs to the police tackle, handcuff and haul my screaming crying father away.
 
The imprint has been a deep rut in my memory, energy field and body.  I have been working on it for decades in a variety of ways.  It is clearer and “better” each year.  But here it is, November 9 again.  And here it is, up again for review and upgrade.
 
So, this morning, when I walked into my room to engage my morning “soul centering and alignment” practice – seeing this gold ray.  I was pulled into and softened and allowed myself into awareness of this confluence place where the mental pictures and memories of that day, the physical places it was lingering in my body, the emotional divots that were full of tears needed to be shed.  I let myself feel it and empty the pain through tears and movement. 

The golden light and gold ray held a very strong Father Sun/Father Sky energy.  It was exactly what I needed.

I posted that morning on Facebook:
 
The andaras say....it’s a GOLD Ray Day...
The GOLD Ray of Light
💫Activating Lifeforce 💫
Supercharge your inner energy battery🌟
💛The “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow🌈
Creation Source Energy
Warmth of Inner Earth🌍🔥
☀️Light of Central Sun ☀️
Drink it in today...golden effervescent light codes...
💛Thank You Sunshine, Father SUN 💛

And then the LIGHT began to fill the room, and fill me.  I could breathe in and drink in the codes of light that were pouring my way, from the sun, being bent by the andara crystals, and flooding into my awareness field.  It was a beautiful self healing radiant moment, series of moments.
 
This kind of thing is what happens on the regular when I work with folks at Inner Space.
When you bring light into your body, mind and energy field, you communicate on a photonic level with your DNA.  You rewrite the story. 
 
Today is a Code Day, with the numerical date of 11/11.  Plus 2018 adds to be an “11” year (2+0+1+8=11).  So, we get a triple 11 today.  The energy of the number one is about beginning new, it is a reset point.  The 11 is double that 1 energy.  I see the 11 as the two columns of the strands of the DNA.  And the light codes we bring in today are communicating with the crystals in the DNA, with the telomeres.
 
What “divots” do you have in your field?  What sticky points do you have from your past in your physical, emotional and mental bodies?  What can you do for yourself to shine the light of your own awareness onto these dark sections? 
I suggest taking some time to be present with yourself.  To relax and breathe into your body.  Notice everything you feel and sense.  Just BE. that simply doing that, being aware, sitting with yourself and holding space for the thoughts, feelings, memories, physical body sensations, that that is HUGE.  Then make an action of brining in some light. Connect to the sun.  Invite the solar rays into your multi-dimensional field.  If possible, do this outside in the sunshine.  Near a window, go for a walk.  Do it while you rake some leaves.  Do it in a way that is playful and fun. Awareness is your path back home to wholeness and integration.  That is the way to fill the divots of darkness inside with radiant light.
 
It’s Never Too Late, to come on HOME…

In Light,

PS – and, doing this for yourself is awesome and something you need to do regularly.  There are times, especially with the larger deeper patterns and “divots” where it helps to have someone hold space for you.  This is what I offer here with an Inner Space Journey. Together we scan your field (energy field, body, mind, emotions etc).  We identify areas that are holding deep seated patterns or density.  We invite in the solar rays of rainbow light.  To fill you with radiance, effervescent light codes, to rewrite the story, to recode the DNA.  I am here to assist you anytime you are ready!  https://www.innerspacehealing.org/your-inner-journey.html
​

There are some STRONG forces of fear afoot right now flowing around the human collective consciousness.  Our “job” as people who work with, conduct and anchor the light – our job is to be stable.  To find the calm grounded energy that secures the highest for all.
 
The news is full of “evacuations” – storms, explosions, natural and man made disasters. 
That “news” can send a ripple of unstable panic and fear.  Projecting yourself, your hearts, your attention into these situations, with a feeling of “that could happen to me and my loved ones at any time” and ensuing panic and ripples of heart strings being tugged, it has a way of destabilizing the ground you stand on. 
 
For, it is true that anything could happen at any time.  Storms, floods, gas main pressure and explosions, all these are out of our hands.  HOWEVER – you do have your awareness field to manage and this is your interface, your “holo-deck” on which you project and experience the world.
 
If the room or house that you are in is flooding or on fire, take immediate corrective action.
 
If the room that you are standing in right now is strong and stable – then become that yourself.
If you project yourself and fill your energy field with an event that is not immediately in front of you, then you are in fact draining your own precious life-force, and bringing to you the exact thing that you focus on.
 
My personal practice in this area is to train and actively stay alert in my attention field.  If indeed you are about to get on a plane that might crash, or in the path of danger, or driving the wrong route, your body will tell you.  You will feel it in your gut, in your core.  Your human sensory field is as finely tuned as any animal who migrates out of the path of an incoming storm.  All the “data” and information you will ever need is constantly being signaled in your field.
 
Truth is, our minds, nervous systems and energy fields are so under constant bombardment daily – that we all need “practices” that clear the field.  That hit the “reset” button.  So that your awareness field instrumentation is finely tuned and in good working order.  And that you are slowing down and quiet inside long enough to really listen to the signal.
 
Take a breath, close your eyes.  Take another 10 or 50 or 100 breaths and feel yourself.  Feel yourself settle into the chair.  Or better yet, lay down on the floor and take a “reset” position of laying on your back with your knees bent and the feet set up right under the knees. 

Breathe into your body. 
Feel the belly rise and fall with your breath.  Do this for a while.  Relax into it.
Feel the floor under the back of your skull.  Let the weight of your head get heavier with each breath. 
Feel the ripples of your spine, where your body hits the floor under you, and where the spine arcs up and away from the floor. 
Feel your feet.  Direct your breath all the way to the feet.
 
You are safe. 
You are secure.
You are here.

Today is flag day in the good ol’ USA
 
One of my main lightworker gridworker “jobs” as of late is to anchor as much light and love and clarity into the earth and the energy grid system of the earth as possible.  One way I have been using the landscape around me is to create use the existing structures, and create networks of light.
 
The networks I have been connecting this spring have been the Sycamore trees, the tall pine trees, church steeples, water towers and now FLAGS.
 
I was fortunate enough to host my friend and mentor Katie IndiCrow here in Massachusetts in January (her first in person trip to USA) .  She noticed the preponderance and sheer everywhere ness of the American flags.  On flagpoles, on telephone poles, on houses and graveyards.  On memorials.  Growing up with it, I was pretty used to it, so it was not something I thought much about.  Seeing it through her eyes was cool and new.
 
During ongoing gridworker private training with her this spring, she suggested I connect the network of American flags. Right away I saw how it could be done.  Each one set to anchor light.  And freedom and sovereignty for all!  I have been doing that here for last few months.  Every time I see or drive by a flag, I say “let freedom reign” or something like that that springs to mind.  Sometimes out loud, sometimes quiet,  sometimes a hum or a song comes along too.
 
Will you join me today on Flag Day friends?
Use any flag or flag pole you see.  Every white or silver flag pole has it’s own light column. 
Draw in a beam of light from the sun and stars.  Down the length of the flag pole.  Direct it with your mind into the earth.  The crystalline grid of the earth is open to receive the incoming codes of light and freedom.

Each is both anchor of incoming light and a broadcast tower of freedom and sovereignty.
 
And if you chose, you can also broadcast this message
(or your own similar high vibe message of joy and freedom)
 
May All Beings Be Happy
May All Beings Be Free
May All Know Peace and Joy
One World Nation
Indivisible
With Liberty and Justice for ALL

May Day Greetings Friends

We did it, we made it to SPRING – to MAY – YEAH !!
Traditionally this was a day to gather and celebrate the return of spring, the start of the growing season (for Northern Hemisphere cultures), and a time to connect to the Spring Energy of clearing, cleansing, making way for the NEW. These gatherings often included a May Pole dance.  Where dancers would each hold a twine or ribbon, attached to a tall pole or live tree, and dance a dance that created a woven design on the pole or tree.  And then dance in reverse to unwind it all.

The image of the May Pole dance has been coming up for me a bunch in the last few weeks.  Both for myself, and my own inner spring “cleaning” self care rituals and ceremonies, as well as working with my beloved clients in managing their energy fields and bodies. 

Your energy, your life-force (your prana, your chi) flows though you in pathways, streams.  Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) calls them meridians.  In Yoga & Ayurveda we call them nadis (Sanskrit for stream or channel).  The metaphor is like a garden hose that water flows through…your energy, your inherent life force flows through these pathways, these rivers of life, these “tubes”. 

Keeping prana flowing freely through the nadis is one of the big benefits of the practice of yoga (as chi flow is for Qi-Gong and Tai Chi).  We know that knots or tightness in the multidimensional body leads to diminished energy flow in the channels.
 
There are thousands and thousands of these nadis in your human energy field.  In yoga philosophy, we describe the master nadi, the main river of life as the central channel that runs along the length of the spine.  We use this sushumna nadi as the master attuner for the energy field.  When prana is free flowing in it, then all the others attune to this master rhythm. 

Imagine your spine and your central channel as the May Pole.  And the ribbons and the dancers represent every thing that has ever danced its way across your life and your attention field.  Everything you have ever heard and said.  Every single experience you have had.  Each one has the potential to wind around you, like a maypole ribbon, interwoven within your multi dimensional body mind soul field.  If you have enough of the ribbons wrapped tightly enough it impedes the free flow of your energy.  We all know that feeling of being “all bound up” by a memory or an emotion or a thought.  And having this binding translate over the physical body.

Yoga literature calls these The Granthis.  The Sanskrit word granthi means “knot” or “doubt” and also means “an especially difficult knot to untie.”  There are three major granthis to untie as you progress your way through freeing your flow of energy.  One in your lower abdomen/lower spine that is said to correlate with fear, anxiety about survival, base needs (food, clothing, shelter), feeling grounded.  The second is between the navel and the heart, around the base of the ribs, and this knot is associated with your personal power and “I AM” presence.  The third is described as being in the forehead, around the third eye, and the knots there inhibit the flow of clear seeing and thinking, and mire you in illusion and doubt.
(if you want to read more this is a good resource article https://jivamuktiyoga.com/fotm/untying-knots-bind-us/)
 
How do we proceed to unwind these knots?? There are many prescribed methods in the practice of yoga, and you are free to research and follow any one of these that resonate for you.  I am not going to recommend those yoga traditional methods (like applying the bhandas and doing severe or austere actions to burn them away).  I find those personally to actually bind me up further, and are just not that pleasant.  I find that what helps me personally is making things super FUN and JOY filled.  We can follow the lead of our ancestors who danced the dance of the may pole at this time of year to unwind and release.

May Pole Inner Ritual of Unwinding and Renewal

Take a few moments to yourself to breath, ground and center.
Connect to your core.
Connect to the core of the earth and get grounded.

Sit or lie or stand still, and breathe, watch allow what you notice in your body. 
What part of your body can you feel first? Which part is speaking to you the loudest right now?
You might ask it what it may be holding, or communicating, and then take a moment to listen.

Follow the flow of your sensations to notice feel and allow your awareness to flow with several body parts or areas of the body.  And include the mind/thoughts and your emotions as things to notice and be aware of.  While some knots will appear in the physical body, many others will present in the mental body or emotional body.

Put on a song – pick a thematic match to what you are feeling, or a song that helps you move and groove, any speed, and genre, your choice.  Or make a playlist of several favorites.

Rub your hands together and get your energy flowing, then place your hands where they are called to go, anywhere on the body or in the air or on the ground.  There is no prescribed way to best do this, and the most potent will be a self directed experience, a ceremony of meditation in motion.  Then move your hands in such a way that you begin to unwind.  Pull, push, sweep wipe the energy away.  Dance, stomp, prance, using arms legs spine, whole body.  Twirl, whirl and unwind these invisible ribbons, cut the threads that tie and bind you.  Get out your machete or chain saw (imaginary!!).  Bathe yourself in light or flame.  Douse yourself with oil or water.  Smudge your field with sage or herbs.  Use a spray of water and essential oils.  Or paint or write, there are as many ways to do this as there are individuals.  Find your style, your method for this May Day.


Make it fun, make it powerful.  Make it joyful and potent. 
You will get the inner sign when you are complete.
Then call in – light, love, joy, new fresh spring energy!  Let that flow of renewal energy flood your field and nurture you at every level.  Honor yourself and your journey, and sit or stand quietly again and see how you feel now.  How much you have shifted your vibration and created free flow in your field.
 
Happy May Day! !*
 
* PS – do this anytime this week or month, or anytime you need it, we are free of the old style of “having to do this on a certain date”.  We are operating in unity field, so anytime you are able is the perfect time 

​The Five Vayus – The Winds of Life – Energy Currents
 
Prana is life force, the primal and vital energy of life.  Prana is the animating intelligence of the universe.  Creation flows or breathes this force into every living being. Prana follows patterns and flows in ways we can learn and master.  Just as the earth has streams and rivers and oceans that circulate the planet’s water, and the atmosphere has streams that direct air flow and drive weather patterns and moisture in the atmosphere, your body and energy field has currents of air and prana and energy flow that you can actively work with to embody balance. 
 
Just by learning about these flow directions, and bringing your awareness to how they move energy thru your body and field already is creating balance within.  You can also use pranayama (energy aligning breathing techniques) and visualizations to direct these currents for smooth free balanced flow.
 
Prana (life-force) can be subdivide into 5 constituent flows with distinct directions and characteristics.  Ayurveda calls these the Vayus (the Winds).
 
Prana-Vayu flows in and upward
Apana-Vayu flows down and outward
Vyana-Vayu flows from core to periphery (center to edge, centrifugal)
Samana-Vayu flows from the periphery to the core (edges to the center- centripetal)
Udana- Vayu flows all around, swirling whirling spirals
 
Here is a diagram to show these flowing current patterns….
(note the color code of above list to the picture)

 
Currently, in Spring of 2018, we are under some heavy influences of wind.  There have been storms and blowing currents and intense weather throughout the planet most of March and April.  And currently there is a solar wind blowing from the sun towards earth.  We live in a constant influx of media and information.  All of these are having a cumulative effect of overly activating the Prana-Vayu (pictured in purple). 

An over excited updraft of Prana-vayu can lead to: - increase of anxiety, swirling thoughts and an overactive mind, trouble settling the mind down at the end of the day, trouble falling asleep and staying asleep.  Headaches, jaw stiffness and pain, teeth “stuff” (esp molars), sinus pressure, pressure behind the eyes, vision fluctuations, frayed and wiry nervous system – generalized feelings and ungrounded-ness and trouble settling yourself.
 
We can balance out this tendency in many ways.  Therapeutically, we would target both soothing out and softening the over predominance of the “updraft”, along with opening the downward flow in the Apana-Vayu channels – to help you ground, soothe and get steady.  We need to give the “extra” energy that is flowing up and out a pathway down and in for balance.
 
Here is a list of some of my favorites and most easy to use and effective techniques…

To pacify and soothe an overactive Prana-Vayu
- Keep yourself warm, keep your feet warm, use hats, scarves, shawls on your head and neck/shoulders
-  Eye pillow, to rest the eyes and relax the muscles, warm eye pillow even better
-  Enjoy periods of quiet with minimal stimulation (avoid TV, media, reading etc esp  right before bedtime)
- Warm baths, self massage with oil, eating a bit more healthy fat (avocados, healthy oils) – keep yourself lubricated
-   Warm beverages (tea, lemon water, spiced chai minus caffine)
 
And, then we stimulate the Apana-Vayu to open the channels of “down and out”:
- Foot massages, rolling a ball under soles of feet, grounding feet to earth
- Self massage or use of balls on the Marma points at top of shoulders, top of thighs, sole of feet
- Thigh stretches, particularly ones that focus on seating the head of the thigh bone deeper into the hip socket.  Forward bends, standing poses, restorative yoga poses, Constructive Rest position.
- creating ceremony to release unwanted thoughts and energy patterns
 
If you would like some personalized advice and assistance getting your mind clear and balanced, and getting grounded and steady, an Inner Space Journey is a great way to balance the 5 Vayus, give yourself a spring tune up, and ensure your energy and inner wind currents are flowing smoothly.

I am also offering a classes on April 15 at Inner Space called "Ground on Down" to hold space and offer tools and techniques for balancing the 5 vayus, specifically opening the Apana-Vayu. There is a class in person, and an online version so everyone who wants to participate can connect in.

​Greeting Friends and Light Beings!
 
I am writing to you today to talk about the current energetic gateway into the heart.  I have been feeling for myself an increased activation of the cosmic heart center.  This heart space has been called the Spiritual Heart, the Universal Heart, the high heart.
 
The month of January was very active for incoming energy codes and information to planet earth.  The moons and then the partial solar eclipse at the end of the month completed a cycle that began last August with that solar eclipse.  The light that is streaming in now activates us to this universal cosmic heart energy space.
 
I myself have been experiencing both energetic and physical awareness of this.  Some of which include tingling in the skull, in the ears, down the neck into the back wall of the ribcage, scapula and heart – some tingling in the fingers and a feeling of energetic fullness in the nadis down my arm and in the pocket of the elbow and in the wrist as well as the knuckles of my left index finger.  How you feel and experience this will be unique and all your own.  I share my experience of it not as a map but as a door opener for you to recall how this has flowed through you.
 
As those of us who teach or work with clients or hold space for families or workplaces know – the folks that come on your path have a way of reflecting and mirroring back the pattern from other perspectives.  Back in the days where I was running a yoga studio it always delighted us to compare notes at the end of the week, and see that many of us had taught a similar sequence or chose the same pinnacle poses for classes that week.  We were tapping into that collective stream of consciousness to determine what movements would align and benefit us the most at that time of season and under that energy. 
 
Likewise I have been blessed to work with clients the last few weeks who are also delving into the sacred space of the heart.  I pay close attention to threads that show us feedback from the collective consciousness.  The high heart is calling us – and I have spent time opening and re-opening my own personal embodied gateway to this space. I have researched and synthesized some information from a variety of sources.   I present it to you below for your use and illumination.
 
In hridaya love,
 
Julie

Hridayam – The High Heart
 
Activating the emerald jewel of the inner heart gate
 
We are currently in a time of high heart chakra awakening
The events of the outer world are driving each of us to a choice point
What are we going to hold vibrationally deep within the magnetic torus field pump of the heart?  If the events of the world send your energy outward, to what is wrong and how to take up a battlefield posture, you will dwell in the realms of fear and scarcity, of anxiety and dread
The darkness will be encroaching and the pull will engulf you
 
You have the choice to use the outer darkness to blanket you while you soften into the inner core of your own heart.  Using your human heart as the doorway, you move in to deeper and deeper layers of self, through your inner space into the sacred heart, the secret heart.
 
The tantric Himalayan masters spoke about the hridayam, the high heart. The lotus within the lotus.  The Hridaya linguistically breaks down into hrid = center and ayam = this or “I am”.  So, your Hridayam is your I AM CENTER.
 
I will offer some of the scholarly and ancient writings for reference, but as slways the best way for you to gather information is from your own experience, your own body and energy field. I just recorded a intro to using Sanskrit bija mantras (seed sounds) to bring yourself to the spaces of the heart.  Sanskrit is a vibrational language, and just hearing and more potently making yourself the sounds will bring you right to the vibrational state and frequency.
 
The Human Heart Center (Anahata) is accessed via the sound YAM (pronounced yum)
 
The I AM Center (Hridaya) is accessed via the sound HRIM (pronounced hreem)
 
Listen here:

The sage Ramana Maharishi called the Hridayam *
“the seat and source of consciousness, identical with the Self, the very Core of one’s being, the Center, without which there is nothing whatsoever”.  The Hridayam is that which attracts everything to itself; it is the place where the “ultimate Divine” dwells in each human.  Light originates here and then flows upward to the crown chakra and down to the other energy centers.  It is not an organ nor does it correspond with one, It is pure consciousness, beyond space and time, transcending the Mind.  The Heart is the Self, - the Heart, which is pure consciousness, includes everything; it is indivisible”
*Sourced from Richard Leviton’s book The Emerald Modem: A User’s Guide to Earth’s Interactive Energy Body
 
In the writings of by T. K. Sundaresa Iyer we read,**
"Just as there is a cosmic center from which the whole universe arises and has its being and functions with the power or the directing energy emanating therefrom, so also is there a center within the frame of the physical body wherein we have our being. This center in the human body is in no way different from the cosmic center. It is this center in us that is called the Hridaya, the seat of Pure Consciousness, realized as Existence, Knowledge and Bliss. This is really what we call the seat of God in us. It is this Hridaya that is said to be different from the physical heart, regulating the blood circulation. The Hridaya has its being on the right side and is not commonly known or felt. The primary thought in us arising as 'I,' when traced to its source, ends somewhere in us and this place, where all thoughts die, where the ego has vanished, is the Hridaya. From this center is felt and enjoyed the Pure Consciousness.
Hridaya described as 'the literal, actual, physical seat of the intuition of the Self' has the meaning explained above. Perhaps the words 'physical seat' may create some confusion. What it really means is that there is a center of Pure Consciousness in the physical body. It is related to the physical, but is not itself physical.
The word Hridaya is a composite of hrid and ayam - "center, this". It is the center on the right, which we reach as a result of meditation (Samadhi). From the Hridaya, consciousness arises to the sahasrara through the sushumna and from there spreads out to all the parts of the body through the several 'nadis'. Then alone we become conscious of the objects around us. Man, due to the illusion that these have real existence, experiences suffering, as he strays far away from his Self. The seat from where all these arise and manifest is the Hridaya.”

Happy Spring Friends!
 
What a delightfully wet spring we are having! Delightful, yes, we are in such need of replenishment of water in our region.  While we welcome the rains to fill our wells and reservoirs, we all notice the effect the wet weather has on our moods.  Why is that?
 
The Emotional Body (one of your subtle layer bodies) is ruled by the water element.  So during rainy times we get the gift of close contact with our emotional body.  The rain itself can be cleansing, and it can feel like it drudges up lots of feelings.  We get a “double dose” of this in the spring, as the spring season is ruled by the elements of water and earth (think mud).  Spring energy invites us to drudge up and cleanse out the old.  It’s why we are all familiar with that “spring cleaning” energy we get for our homes, gardens, cupboards, basements this time of year.  Follow that intrinsic instinct by clearing out your emotional body this spring!
 
How?  Vibrational Healing/Energy Healing is a great method!  This subtle body healing is multi dimensional.  It is beneficial always for your physical body.  And even more powerfully it reaches into the subtle layers of your emotional and mental bodies to create a shift there.
 
We are blessed this spring with a few new members of our healing team that are master healers for the emotional body!  Our friends the swans are back this spring, and we have two pairs of swans flanking our banks here at Lake Ripple.  One pair is nested on the open shores of the lake to our left, and one pair is over at Ekblaw landing to our right, so they have us covered!
 
Swan Medicine
 
“Swans signal a time of altered states of awareness and the development of intuitive abilities, for those with this medicine have the inherent ability to see the future, and to accept the healing and change that is starting in their lives. Accept this and it will help you go with the flow. Listen to your inner knowledge and intuitions and Swan will work through you. The Swan’s voice teaches the mysteries of song and poetry, for these touch our inner child and also our inner beauty.
Swan gracefully glide through the water leaving hardly a ripple behind. Their natural, effortless beauty reminds us to move gently through the currents of life and not fight against them. Water is linked with the feminine intuition and emotion. By following swans example we learn how to view our emotions without getting trapped by them. Our intuition helps us comprehend our feelings and the swan helps us process them.”
 
excerpt from http://www.shamanicjourney.com/swan-power-animal-symbol-of-inner-grace-balance-commitment
 
Our newest member of our team is a sweet muskrat who has moved in to the waters of Axtell Brook that runs right behind our building.  When I first noticed the muskrat this spring, he was elusive.  As I opened the lines of communication, he revealed himself and his wisdom more and more.  Now, most every time I think of him he shows his furry wet head and swims over to say hello.  Unfamiliar with muskrat medicine I went researching. 
 
Muskrats play a pivotal role in Native American creation stories.  The Algonquin called them the musquash.  After the great floods when all the world was covered with water, many animals tried to find some “earth” to rebuild.  All who tried failed until the musquash stepped up to volunteer.  He dove underwater and after a lengthy search, he managed to find the bottom of the ocean, grab a fist full of sand from the ocean floor and return it to the surface.  This is how turtle island was made, and continents formed.
 
Muskrat Medicine is about diving in to the depths of your being, and returning home to land.
 
If you are ready to dive deep, to clear out and emerge at home in your essential self, to your soul center, then please book a session and come visit us soon!
