<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">I received the following article today in an email from a friend of mine. It goes along with much of what has been revealed in our Seasons-Balance group sessions for the Gulf. I felt it important to pass this information along, especially the points about &#8220;Subtle Activism&#8221; and working with Nature.</p>

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="color: #006633;"><strong>Communicating with the Invisible World of Nature</strong></span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">David Spangler is famous worldwide  for his work with The Findhorn Garden in Scotland, and with his ability to  contact the nature spirits and devas of the environment. He is also one of the  most caring and accurate “witnesses” to the invisible worlds.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">For this reason, I find it important  and necessary that we consider his words about the oil spill in the Gulf of  Mexico. Should you wish to pass his words on, please know that he has given all  of us permission to do so. I pray that as many of us as possible respond to the  spiritual reality behind what he shares. ~PMH   (PMH Atwater is a well-known researcher and writer of the Near-Death  Experience as well as herself having three NDEs)</p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="color: #006633;">David&#8217;s Desk: The Gulf</span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">There are times when events overtake  intentions. There was another topic that I had planned to write about for this  month’s letter, but events in the Gulf of Mexico loom so large with the  spreading oil spill and the consequent devastation to animal, plant and human  lives that no other topics seem fitting this month. The amount of email I’ve had  asking for insights into what is happening, for perspectives from the subtle  worlds, or for suggestions for subtle activism in response to this tragedy  affirms for me that this is the subject close to people’s hearts and minds right  now.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">I was in my twenties during the  height of the Vietnam War, and I remember well the vivid scenes that appeared  night after night on the television news. Certain images stand out: the Buddhist  monk who set himself ablaze in protest, the execution of a Viet Cong  sympathizer, a naked girl running down the street, her body burned from napalm,  and the endless rows of body bags and coffins of dead soldiers waiting on the  tarmacs of foreign airports to be shipped home to America. These images brought  home the horror of the war. The oil spill is generating images, too. The  underwater camera shows endless gallons of brown oil spilling out around the  edges of the containment cap into the water. There are close-up shots of  pelicans covered with oil, their black eyes almost invisible in the midst of the  black goo that drips from their feathers. Fishermen lounge idle on the dock,  watching their livelihoods vanish. Black tar balls on pristine white sandy  beaches. Perhaps most powerfully and poignantly for me was an interview I  saw.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">A Louisiana coastal resident was  driving down a road alongside the beach that is being hardest hit by oil at the  moment. He was complaining about the lack of any clean-up crews on the beach and  was venting his anger at BP. He had a large mustache that quivered with his  indignation as he spoke, and his voice was rough and strained with his fury.  Suddenly he stopped and jumped out of his truck. Running down along the beach  with the news cameraman right behind him, he suddenly stopped and plunged his  hands into the oily sand. He then pulled up a bird small enough to fit in the  palm of his hand. It was covered in oil, but it was still alive. “Oh, this poor  bird,” he said, cradling it, his voice softening to one of caring and  compassion. “This poor, poor creature.” The news report ended at that point, so  I don’t know what happened next, whether he was able to get the bird to one of  the shelters where animals are being cleaned from the oil. And I have no idea  how he had spotted this tiny bird from the road when a moment before he had been  so focused on his rage. But in the twinkling of an eye, he went from shouting at  the cameraman, his attention focused on BP and his anger at them, to someone  perceiving the plight of another living creature and shifting his attention to  doing what he could, revealing the depth of his caring. I found this very  moving.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">Over the next few months, I have no  doubt there will be thousands of words written analyzing this event, assigning  blame and expressing anger. This may well become the equivalent of an  environmental 9/11 in terms of its impact on our society except that where the  terrorist attack and the collapse of the World Trade Towers occurred in a two-  hour span of time, the Gulf oil spill is a catastrophe unfolding over weeks and  months, leaving us twisting in the wind with the uncertainty of how it will end.  If as many fear, the storm surges and winds of the hurricanes expected this  season carry the contamination of oil much further inland, including to  populated areas and farming country, or if the oil enters the Gulf Stream and  heads around to the beaches of</p>
<div class="MsoNormal">America’s eastern coastland and then on to Europe, then the  impact of this disaster will be much greater than it appears now and the ending  may be years in the future. If ever an event were worthy of our anger and  sorrow, this is it. This is particularly true because this is no random act of  nature like the earthquake that hit Haiti. It was an eminently preventable  event. That it occurred comes as no surprise to many who have been predicting  such a disaster for years, but it also comes as further indication of the deep  structural flaws in our civilization, from our increasing dependence on  resources that in fact are running out and are harder and harder to get, to the  financial pressures and expectations that lead individuals and corporations to  take shortcuts and neglect safety measures in order to save a dollar here and a  dollar there.</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">Yes, greed is involved, but it’s not  just corporate greed. <em>It’s our collective greed for a certain kind of  lifestyle, a certain kind of dominance upon the earth, a certain kind of  anthropocentric power to do with the world and its web of interconnected  life</em><span style="font-style: normal;"> </span><em>what we wish, as we wish,  when we wish</em><span style="font-style: normal;">. But if we are going to work  effectively at a spiritual level through subtle activism with this event and its  unfolding consequences, anger and sorrow must be set aside.  Like the man in the news story who suddenly  switched from expressing anger to taking action to help another living creature,  we need to go beyond our anger and find our compassion and the presence of a  healing light within us.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">When I am asked what the perspective  of the non-physical worlds is to this event, I feel stymied by the fact that  there is no single reaction. People expect that the inner worlds must feel  outrage and pain, just as we do, especially at the thought of so much ecological  destruction and loss of life. There is that reaction, for sure, but it is not  the only one or even the main one. It depends entirely on the kind of subtle  beings that I attune to.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">For some of the vast forces and  intelligences that overlight the Gulf region and have done so for thousands and  thousands of years, this is a relatively minor event creating a temporary  imbalance that will be restored in time; when your perspective covers millennia,  what are a few decades more or less? Physical existence does not have the same  meaning to them that it does to us. Likewise, I have observed certain chthonic  beings associated with the oil itself that are experiencing delight and pleasure  at being liberated from the depths of the earth; they are not evil by any means,  but they do not have any sense of the destruction or loss of life that the oil  is causing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">On the other hand, there are subtle  beings who work directly with the environment and the life-forms of the sea and  the coastal wetlands and marshes, and they are being directly impacted.  The patterns of connection and energy with  which they work and in which, to some extent, they dwell, are being disrupted  and broken with an effect not unlike that which happens to a human when he or  she has a stroke due to the death or damage of brain cells. Some of these beings  are indeed outraged at what is happening and at humanity in particular for  causing this. But others are not, understanding that anger itself can roil the  subtle environment and further disrupt and break the subtle connections on which  integration and wholeness depend.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">So, from my perspective at least,  there is no single unified response of the inner worlds to this event. What this  means to me is that I need to look to my own response. What do I feel? What do I  think? And likewise, dear reader, what do you feel and think? For it’s out of  our hearts and minds that we fashion our imaginative, mental, emotional, and  spiritual responses, and our physical ones as well if we are in a position to  take physical action. I don’t need a nature spirit to tell me it’s angry for me  to feel anger myself or for me to feel compassion and sorrow and a need to do  something to help.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">Subtle activism is a way of offering  help through the use of subtle energies of consciousness and life when we’re  unable to help in more physical ways. It’s never a substitute for meaningful and  appropriate physical action, but it can be an important complement. This is not  the place to go into the whys and wherefores of subtle activism, its principles  of operation and the theory of how it works; I have classes that do that if you  are interested. What I would like to do here is just offer some specific inner  responses you can make if you are inclined.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">However, there are two key ideas to  keep in mind. The <strong>first</strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is that all  subtle activism is ultimately intended to create and foster wholeness. The  subtle environment of the world is a place of important connections along which  life energies flow, and when events like this occur, it’s these connections that  get broken. The </span><strong>second</strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is that  inner work is done in a spirit of compassion, love and service. Wholeness is  repaired or re-created through life-affirming energies, not through anger or  blame, judgment or revenge. We must be like the man in the news interview,  switching from our outrage to our compassion and reaching out to hold in our  inner hands of love the life that has been impacted and that is  threatened.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">Here are some possibilities for  subtle activism and prayer:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>1:</strong></span> Attune in contemplation and imagination  to the &#8220;genius loci,&#8221; the spirit of the place, of the affected regions to offer  the gift of your loving energy for it to use in service to its environment.  Imagine, for instance, an angel of the marshes or of the wetlands, or even an  angel overlighting the Gulf itself. Draw on your own love and compassion and  offer these to this being to use as its knowledge and wisdom sees as  appropriate. Most importantly, draw on your sense of your own sacredness and of  the Sacred that embraces and lives within all things. As your felt sense of this  sacredness wells up in you, offer this presence to the spirits involved with  healing and care for the affected regions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>2:</strong></span> One thing I learned while part of the  Findhorn community in northern Scotland many years ago is that nature spirits,  the spiritual beings directly involved with the wellbeing of specific plants and  ecosystems, cannot always anticipate human actions. They can be caught by  surprise by the effects of some of our actions, particularly when the effects of  those actions are disruptive. In such a situation, the spiritual beings may not  implement suitable preparations and connections to avoid or minimize such  disruptions. I imagine by now the word has gone out along the inner circuits  that danger is on the way, but it may still be helpful to communicate what is  happening to the spiritual beings overlighting those parts of the land where the  oil hasn&#8217;t reached yet but which are in danger. As in 1 above, commune with the  overlighting nature beings of those regions and inform them of what is  happening. Basically, warn them so they can take steps. Do so as lovingly and  compassionately as you can.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>3:</strong></span> Subtle activism is about using subtle  energies for promoting, restoring, fostering, and co-creating wholeness. Every  being is woven into a fabric of life through a variety of subtle energy  connections. When a being dies, these connections are broken as it withdraws  into the spiritual realms of Light. In a way, there’s a “hole” in the fabric  where that being was. In the natural course of things, the edges of this  hole—the disconnected strands and streams of subtle energy—are re-knitted back  into the local fabric of life. However, when many beings die all at once—as is  happening in the Gulf now—the breakage can be severe, and the “hole” very  disruptive for a time; the effort of spiritual beings goes to repairing this.  You can help in this process by making available your own energies of compassion  and wholeness to the situation through your loving attunement. You cannot do  this in a state of anger or agitation, so don’t attempt this if your emotions  about what is happening in the Gulf overwhelm you with sadness, anger, and so  forth. Wait until you can find calm and peace within yourself. But when you do,  then here is one way you can offer your help. Attune to a spiritual source of  wholeness that is meaningful to you, that is, a source from which you would draw  inspiration and presence to find wholeness in yourself. Draw that wholeness into  you and merge it with your own calm presence, your own integration and sense of  wholeness. In imagination and contemplation, project your presence into the  affected areas of the Gulf where death and disruption are occurring to the life  of the sea and the coastlines. Be a presence of wholeness and connection, as if  you were a nerve cell connecting the spiritual worlds with the earth and water  itself. In effect, you are offering your assistance and the energy of your  presence to those beings who are seeking to &#8220;re-knit&#8221; the subtle environment.  Note that there are angelic beings and others seeking to provide the same loving  help to the humans who are being affected by this oil spill and who are  experiencing anger and fear as they witness the destruction of their environment  and the loss of their livelihoods. You can offer this same loving spirit of  wholeness to them as well for the benefit and blessing of the human  community.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>4:</strong></span> Be open to grief. Grief is part of the  healing process of binding up broken subtle ties and connections. I&#8217;m not  talking about wailing and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments. Grief can  become mixed up with dramas of self-concern and victimization (the “poor me”  syndrome), and you want to be clear of such dramas. You want to feel honestly  the pain and sorrow involved with what is happening to the nature and the people  of the Gulf. Grieving is part of the process of acknowledging the broken  connections I spoke about earlier and thus of beginning a process of healing.  Don’t be hesitant or resistant to grieving with the nature spirits and with the  life of the Gulf that is being affected. You can share your own emotions of pain  with them. At the same time, however, don&#8217;t assume or project that nature  spirits feel that grief or pain in the same way; don&#8217;t anthropomorphize, in  other words.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>5:</strong></span> Eventually the Gulf will heal.  Depending on the amount of damage that is done by the time this spill is cleaned  up, that healing could take a long time, but it will happen. Harmony and balance  will be restored, though it might look different than what is there now. Just as  a person may heal better and faster when inspired by images of health and what  his or her life will be like when wholeness is restored, so the nature spirits  can be aided by the visions of health, harmony and wholeness that come from  vaster planetary beings such as devas and angels. While they certainly have  their own channels of communication that don’t depend on any human, it is still  helpful when a human being can align with that greater vision and embody its  presence on behalf of the nature forces. With this in mind, attune through  contemplation and imagination to an angel or deva overlighting the Gulf, one who  holds the image and vision of the potential and beauty of all the life that’s  there and the vision of what this ecosystem can be in its sacredness and  wholeness. Here you want to gain the long view, the perspective of centuries and  millennia. In attuning to the Gulf and the coastlines where death and damage are  occurring, hold an image of these areas in their perfection when healing has  taken place. See the area connected and whole. In other words, tune into the  template of wholeness held by the vaster consciousnesses and hold the joy and  beauty of that template; it forms a matrix around which healing can take  place.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">These are just some suggestions of  things you can do, and they focus on the natural world. But the same  suggestions, slightly modified, can be used to hold and bless the humans who are  involved and who are being impacted. This goes for the engineers and others  trying to repair this situation as much as for those whose livelihoods are being  lost or whose health is being affected. One important thing we can do is to hold  the sorrow and grief of this event in our hearts without flinching. This takes  courage because it’s a painful thing to do. And it takes wisdom and strength to  hold that pain without being overwhelmed or constricted by it. Becoming  despondent or despairing doesn’t help, but standing in solidarity with the  people and creatures that are being affected and not turning away in denial can  be very helpful.</p>
<div class="MsoNormal">From an inner standpoint, it means our Light is available  as needed. No pun intended, but there is a gulf between where our society and  our collective human consciousness are at the moment and where they need to be  to fashion a world that is sustainable and that works for the benefit of all  species of life. To write off this tragedy as “just another oil spill” and part  of the price for doing “business as usual,” is to lose an opportunity to  recognize the need to revision ourselves and our world and to move in a  different, more holistic direction.  If  this tragedy has a deeper meaning, I believe it manifests in how we can seize  this opportunity.</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">(A new book that looks at how we can  make this change in a most positive and creative way is Plenitude: The New  Economics of True Wealth &lt;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/">http://www.amazon.com</a>/  Plenitude-New-Economics-True-Wealth/dp/1594202540/authorpmhatwaterA/, by Juliet  B. Schor, an environmental economist; I highly recommend it.)</p>
<div class="MsoNormal">Many years ago a friend of mine was involved in drilling  oil wells in Louisiana. One day he gave me a small bottle of crude oil brought  up from a mile or so under the earth. I was interested to see that it had a  reddish color, which made me think of the way many indigenous peoples refer to  oil as the blood of the earth. In many spiritual traditions, the spilling of  blood in sacrifice is considered transformative. Perhaps we might see this oil  spill as Gaia spilling her blood to effect a transformation in our  consciousnesses that we may learn to truly think like a planet and to care for  the world that sustains us. If so, my prayer is that this sacrifice is not being  made in vain. ~David Spangler</div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">When I am asked what the perspective  of the non-physical worlds is to this event, I feel stymied by the fact that  there is no single reaction. People expect that the inner worlds must feel  outrage and pain, just as we do, especially at the thought of so much ecological  destruction and loss of life. There is that reaction, for sure, but it is not  the only one or even the main one. It depends entirely on the kind of subtle  beings that I attune to.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">For some of the vast forces and  intelligences that overlight the Gulf region and have done so for thousands and  thousands of years, this is a relatively minor event creating a temporary  imbalance that will be restored in time; when your perspective covers millennia,  what are a few decades more or less? Physical existence does not have the same  meaning to them that it does to us. Likewise, I have observed certain chthonic  beings associated with the oil itself that are experiencing delight and pleasure  at being liberated from the depths of the earth; they are not evil by any means,  but they do not have any sense of the destruction or loss of life that the oil  is causing.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">On the other hand, there are subtle  beings who work directly with the environment and the life-forms of the sea and  the coastal wetlands and marshes, and they are being directly impacted.  The patterns of connection and energy with  which they work and in which, to some extent, they dwell, are being disrupted  and broken with an effect not unlike that which happens to a human when he or  she has a stroke due to the death or damage of brain cells. Some of these beings  are indeed outraged at what is happening and at humanity in particular for  causing this. But others are not, understanding that anger itself can roil the  subtle environment and further disrupt and break the subtle connections on which  integration and wholeness depend.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">So, from my perspective at least,  there is no single unified response of the inner worlds to this event. What this  means to me is that I need to look to my own response. What do I feel? What do I  think? And likewise, dear reader, what do you feel and think? For it’s out of  our hearts and minds that we fashion our imaginative, mental, emotional, and  spiritual responses, and our physical ones as well if we are in a position to  take physical action. I don’t need a nature spirit to tell me it’s angry for me  to feel anger myself or for me to feel compassion and sorrow and a need to do  something to help.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">Subtle activism is a way of offering  help through the use of subtle energies of consciousness and life when we’re  unable to help in more physical ways. It’s never a substitute for meaningful and  appropriate physical action, but it can be an important complement. This is not  the place to go into the whys and wherefores of subtle activism, its principles  of operation and the theory of how it works; I have classes that do that if you  are interested. What I would like to do here is just offer some specific inner  responses you can make if you are inclined.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">However, there are two key ideas to  keep in mind. The <strong>first</strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is that all  subtle activism is ultimately intended to create and foster wholeness. The  subtle environment of the world is a place of important connections along which  life energies flow, and when events like this occur, it’s these connections that  get broken. The </span><strong>second</strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"> is that  inner work is done in a spirit of compassion, love and service. Wholeness is  repaired or re-created through life-affirming energies, not through anger or  blame, judgment or revenge. We must be like the man in the news interview,  switching from our outrage to our compassion and reaching out to hold in our  inner hands of love the life that has been impacted and that is  threatened.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;">Here are some possibilities for  subtle activism and prayer:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>1:</strong></span> Attune in contemplation and imagination  to the &#8220;genius loci,&#8221; the spirit of the place, of the affected regions to offer  the gift of your loving energy for it to use in service to its environment.  Imagine, for instance, an angel of the marshes or of the wetlands, or even an  angel overlighting the Gulf itself. Draw on your own love and compassion and  offer these to this being to use as its knowledge and wisdom sees as  appropriate. Most importantly, draw on your sense of your own sacredness and of  the Sacred that embraces and lives within all things. As your felt sense of this  sacredness wells up in you, offer this presence to the spirits involved with  healing and care for the affected regions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>2:</strong></span> One thing I learned while part of the  Findhorn community in northern Scotland many years ago is that nature spirits,  the spiritual beings directly involved with the wellbeing of specific plants and  ecosystems, cannot always anticipate human actions. They can be caught by  surprise by the effects of some of our actions, particularly when the effects of  those actions are disruptive. In such a situation, the spiritual beings may not  implement suitable preparations and connections to avoid or minimize such  disruptions. I imagine by now the word has gone out along the inner circuits  that danger is on the way, but it may still be helpful to communicate what is  happening to the spiritual beings overlighting those parts of the land where the  oil hasn&#8217;t reached yet but which are in danger. As in 1 above, commune with the  overlighting nature beings of those regions and inform them of what is  happening. Basically, warn them so they can take steps. Do so as lovingly and  compassionately as you can.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>3:</strong></span> Subtle activism is about using subtle  energies for promoting, restoring, fostering, and co-creating wholeness. Every  being is woven into a fabric of life through a variety of subtle energy  connections. When a being dies, these connections are broken as it withdraws  into the spiritual realms of Light. In a way, there’s a “hole” in the fabric  where that being was. In the natural course of things, the edges of this  hole—the disconnected strands and streams of subtle energy—are re-knitted back  into the local fabric of life. However, when many beings die all at once—as is  happening in the Gulf now—the breakage can be severe, and the “hole” very  disruptive for a time; the effort of spiritual beings goes to repairing this.  You can help in this process by making available your own energies of compassion  and wholeness to the situation through your loving attunement. You cannot do  this in a state of anger or agitation, so don’t attempt this if your emotions  about what is happening in the Gulf overwhelm you with sadness, anger, and so  forth. Wait until you can find calm and peace within yourself. But when you do,  then here is one way you can offer your help. Attune to a spiritual source of  wholeness that is meaningful to you, that is, a source from which you would draw  inspiration and presence to find wholeness in yourself. Draw that wholeness into  you and merge it with your own calm presence, your own integration and sense of  wholeness. In imagination and contemplation, project your presence into the  affected areas of the Gulf where death and disruption are occurring to the life  of the sea and the coastlines. Be a presence of wholeness and connection, as if  you were a nerve cell connecting the spiritual worlds with the earth and water  itself. In effect, you are offering your assistance and the energy of your  presence to those beings who are seeking to &#8220;re-knit&#8221; the subtle environment.  Note that there are angelic beings and others seeking to provide the same loving  help to the humans who are being affected by this oil spill and who are  experiencing anger and fear as they witness the destruction of their environment  and the loss of their livelihoods. You can offer this same loving spirit of  wholeness to them as well for the benefit and blessing of the human  community.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>4:</strong></span> Be open to grief. Grief is part of the  healing process of binding up broken subtle ties and connections. I&#8217;m not  talking about wailing and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments. Grief can  become mixed up with dramas of self-concern and victimization (the “poor me”  syndrome), and you want to be clear of such dramas. You want to feel honestly  the pain and sorrow involved with what is happening to the nature and the people  of the Gulf. Grieving is part of the process of acknowledging the broken  connections I spoke about earlier and thus of beginning a process of healing.  Don’t be hesitant or resistant to grieving with the nature spirits and with the  life of the Gulf that is being affected. You can share your own emotions of pain  with them. At the same time, however, don&#8217;t assume or project that nature  spirits feel that grief or pain in the same way; don&#8217;t anthropomorphize, in  other words.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>5:</strong></span> Eventually the Gulf will heal.  Depending on the amount of damage that is done by the time this spill is cleaned  up, that healing could take a long time, but it will happen. Harmony and balance  will be restored, though it might look different than what is there now. Just as  a person may heal better and faster when inspired by images of health and what  his or her life will be like when wholeness is restored, so the nature spirits  can be aided by the visions of health, harmony and wholeness that come from  vaster planetary beings such as devas and angels. While they certainly have  their own channels of communication that don’t depend on any human, it is still  helpful when a human being can align with that greater vision and embody its  presence on behalf of the nature forces. With this in mind, attune through  contemplation and imagination to an angel or deva overlighting the Gulf, one who  holds the image and vision of the potential and beauty of all the life that’s  there and the vision of what this ecosystem can be in its sacredness and  wholeness. Here you want to gain the long view, the perspective of centuries and  millennia. In attuning to the Gulf and the coastlines where death and damage are  occurring, hold an image of these areas in their perfection when healing has  taken place. See the area connected and whole. In other words, tune into the  template of wholeness held by the vaster consciousnesses and hold the joy and  beauty of that template; it forms a matrix around which healing can take  place.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">These are just some suggestions of  things you can do, and they focus on the natural world. But the same  suggestions, slightly modified, can be used to hold and bless the humans who are  involved and who are being impacted. This goes for the engineers and others  trying to repair this situation as much as for those whose livelihoods are being  lost or whose health is being affected. One important thing we can do is to hold  the sorrow and grief of this event in our hearts without flinching. This takes  courage because it’s a painful thing to do. And it takes wisdom and strength to  hold that pain without being overwhelmed or constricted by it. Becoming  despondent or despairing doesn’t help, but standing in solidarity with the  people and creatures that are being affected and not turning away in denial can  be very helpful.</p>
<div class="MsoNormal">From an inner standpoint, it means our Light is available  as needed. No pun intended, but there is a gulf between where our society and  our collective human consciousness are at the moment and where they need to be  to fashion a world that is sustainable and that works for the benefit of all  species of life. To write off this tragedy as “just another oil spill” and part  of the price for doing “business as usual,” is to lose an opportunity to  recognize the need to revision ourselves and our world and to move in a  different, more holistic direction.  If  this tragedy has a deeper meaning, I believe it manifests in how we can seize  this opportunity.</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in;">(A new book that looks at how we can  make this change in a most positive and creative way is Plenitude: The New  Economics of True Wealth &lt;<a href="http://www.amazon.com/">http://www.amazon.com</a>/  Plenitude-New-Economics-True-Wealth/dp/1594202540/authorpmhatwaterA/, by Juliet  B. Schor, an environmental economist; I highly recommend it.)</p>
<div class="MsoNormal">Many years ago a friend of mine was involved in drilling  oil wells in Louisiana. One day he gave me a small bottle of crude oil brought  up from a mile or so under the earth. I was interested to see that it had a  reddish color, which made me think of the way many indigenous peoples refer to  oil as the blood of the earth. In many spiritual traditions, the spilling of  blood in sacrifice is considered transformative. Perhaps we might see this oil  spill as Gaia spilling her blood to effect a transformation in our  consciousnesses that we may learn to truly think like a planet and to care for  the world that sustains us. If so, my prayer is that this sacrifice is not being  made in vain. ~David Spangler</div>

<p><strong></strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color:  #330033; font-size: large;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"> Plant the Seed to Hold  Love and Perfection for the Gulf of Mexico</span></strong></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">Below is a post with basic info for the ongoing meditation and healing sessions for the Gulf of Mexico, our oceans and our Earth. Please feel free to post any info and pass this on. Information will be sent out weekly before the meditation giving the timing and focus. In addition, within several days after the event I will send notes on the session.</div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">To receive this information and to be included in the Quantum biofeedback sessions you must be signed up to the Seasons-Balance list. Meditations will be held each Friday at Sunrise EDT unless otherwise noted. These sessions are free and will continue at least  through New Moon in August.</div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">Thank you for your love and support of our Earth.</div>
<p><strong></strong></p>

<p></span></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #330033;"><strong><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: medium;">Join  together to hold a loving, healing  space for the Earth with special emphasis on  the Gulf of Mexico<br />

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">As the days go by and we see the situation in the Gulf continue  to worsen, I think we can understand that this situation could use love  and attention on an ongoing basis. Do not think that this situation is  not affecting you just because you do not live on a state that borders  the Gulf of Mexico.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:   small;">This  event has the potential to harm all of earth&#8217;s  ocean if  the spill is not contained. The information given to the press by BP has  not reflected the seriousness of the situation but new information from  the scientific community is showing us daily that this is an event that  needs our love and attention.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:   small;">Some of the information below was in last weeks post but I am  restating it here for those who are new. Please check out the link  below. This page shows you the currents of the ocean and how they flow  and you will understand the magnitude of what could happen if the oil  gets into the Loop Current in the Gulf and from there, into the Gulf  Stream.</span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cubanology.com/Articles/Ocean_Currents_The_Distribution_of_Life.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color:  #008000;">Currents of the Earths Oceans</span></a></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:   small;">I worked on the ocean and around oil rigs for 12 years as a boat  captain&#8230;.I have  seen the damage that happens just from normal  drilling operations. I  have also seen first hand the negligence of the  oil companies in  maintaining offshore wells after they have been capped  and are no longer  useful. I think these issues are important to  address. All the money in the  world will not keep life on this planet  if our oceans are devastated. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">There is evidence that we really can heal our Mother  Earth  through intent, love, and the action of scientific prayer. Check out <strong><a href="http://www.glcoherence.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #008000;">The Global  Coherance Initiative</span></a></strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">Princeton University&#8217;s PEAR research has also revealed how our  consciousness can affect our reality. But there is one  ingredient that  is crucially important in changing our current reality. That ingredient  is belief. Our belief systems can stop us. If you can&#8217;t believe in it  and hold the vision it won&#8217;t work. Many of the beliefs that stop us are  subconscious or so entrenched we don&#8217;t recognize them for what they are,  fear, doubt, anger, etc. This is why I am offering the free long  distance healing session below.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">There is power in prayer and holding love in your hearts to help  create a new and healthy earth. In this healing session we will  hold  prayer for the water of our oceans and specifically the Gulf of Mexico.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">In using the model of quantum physics in healing we work with  something called &#8220;downward causation&#8221;. This is a concept based on  working with the energy of probabilities and shifting things on the  level of Consciousness. These probabilities then filter down into the  physical. While I believe it is beneficial to take physical action, it  is more effective if we change the consciousness behind it first so that  we do not continue to create the same problems. So, in addition to a  group meditation to hold Love for the Gulf of Mexico I am offering a  free group session to assist in removing old patterns from the groups  possibility factor so that we can create something new!<br />

<div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">The  intention of this event is to bring love  and support to the Earth with a special  emphasis on  manifesting the  highest vision for the Gulf  Of Mexico.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">This session will be performed with a SCIO  quantum biofeedback device. It will also include prayer, energy work and  meditation The purpose will be to:</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">1. Unite Together - we will use the power of  group consciousness </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">2. Remove Energies which keep us from  effectively holding the vision of highest good for the Gulf and our  oceans - if we have fear or anger in our hearts or subconscious, we can  not hold the highest vision effectively. Sometimes even the history of  our ancestry will prevent this, without our realizing it. The SCIO  session will be to identify and help us to release anything that may  keep the group from being most effective.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">3. Align ourselves with that highest vision  through Heart Centered awareness - It is not about us deciding what that  is, but about getting out of our own way, so that we can be clear  channels for a higher vision of love. It is about clearing our circuits,  listening and then acting. The action can be a prayer, a letter to your  congressman, whatever you are lead to do will be your part in helping  to create something new. This can be different for each person in the  group, but the vision is the same, a healthy earth.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">4. Prayer for Water - special prayer to water   prepared with water from the Atlantic Ocean. I live very near the  water&#8230;.. I will take some water from the ocean and we will charge it  with our love and prayers and the energy of the session. I will then  return that water to the ocean with thanks and gratitude for all the  ocean does for us. If you live near the ocean you can do the same, but  your intention will also be in the water that I will be preparing.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">The session will be held on  Fridays, at  sunrise Eastern Daylight Time. Instructions for the  session will be sent on Wednesday evenings. If you have to work  or can not take part in the session at the appointed time, you can  still participate. Every heart helps. Please join the list and your name  will be added to the session. Set your intention and open your heart to  love the Earth and the water that sustains us all.</span><strong><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: medium;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Below is a post with basic info for the ongoing meditation and healing sessions for the Gulf of Mexico, our oceans and our Earth. Please feel free to post any info and pass this on. Information will be sent out weekly before the meditation giving the timing and focus. In addition, within several days after the event I will send notes on the session.</div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">To receive this information and to be included in the Quantum biofeedback sessions you must be signed up to the Seasons-Balance list. Meditations will be held each Friday at Sunrise EDT unless otherwise noted. These sessions are free and will continue at least  through New Moon in August.</div>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">As the days go by and we see the situation in the Gulf continue  to worsen, I think we can understand that this situation could use love  and attention on an ongoing basis. Do not think that this situation is  not affecting you just because you do not live on a state that borders  the Gulf of Mexico.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:   small;">This  event has the potential to harm all of earth&#8217;s  ocean if  the spill is not contained. The information given to the press by BP has  not reflected the seriousness of the situation but new information from  the scientific community is showing us daily that this is an event that  needs our love and attention.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:   small;">Some of the information below was in last weeks post but I am  restating it here for those who are new. Please check out the link  below. This page shows you the currents of the ocean and how they flow  and you will understand the magnitude of what could happen if the oil  gets into the Loop Current in the Gulf and from there, into the Gulf  Stream.</span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cubanology.com/Articles/Ocean_Currents_The_Distribution_of_Life.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color:  #008000;">Currents of the Earths Oceans</span></a></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:   small;">I worked on the ocean and around oil rigs for 12 years as a boat  captain&#8230;.I have  seen the damage that happens just from normal  drilling operations. I  have also seen first hand the negligence of the  oil companies in  maintaining offshore wells after they have been capped  and are no longer  useful. I think these issues are important to  address. All the money in the  world will not keep life on this planet  if our oceans are devastated. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">There is evidence that we really can heal our Mother  Earth  through intent, love, and the action of scientific prayer. Check out <strong><a href="http://www.glcoherence.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #008000;">The Global  Coherance Initiative</span></a></strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">Princeton University&#8217;s PEAR research has also revealed how our  consciousness can affect our reality. But there is one  ingredient that  is crucially important in changing our current reality. That ingredient  is belief. Our belief systems can stop us. If you can&#8217;t believe in it  and hold the vision it won&#8217;t work. Many of the beliefs that stop us are  subconscious or so entrenched we don&#8217;t recognize them for what they are,  fear, doubt, anger, etc. This is why I am offering the free long  distance healing session below.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">There is power in prayer and holding love in your hearts to help  create a new and healthy earth. In this healing session we will  hold  prayer for the water of our oceans and specifically the Gulf of Mexico.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">In using the model of quantum physics in healing we work with  something called &#8220;downward causation&#8221;. This is a concept based on  working with the energy of probabilities and shifting things on the  level of Consciousness. These probabilities then filter down into the  physical. While I believe it is beneficial to take physical action, it  is more effective if we change the consciousness behind it first so that  we do not continue to create the same problems. So, in addition to a  group meditation to hold Love for the Gulf of Mexico I am offering a  free group session to assist in removing old patterns from the groups  possibility factor so that we can create something new!<br />

<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">The  intention of this event is to bring love  and support to the Earth with a special  emphasis on  manifesting the  highest vision for the Gulf  Of Mexico.</span></span></div>

<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">1. Unite Together - we will use the power of  group consciousness </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">2. Remove Energies which keep us from  effectively holding the vision of highest good for the Gulf and our  oceans - if we have fear or anger in our hearts or subconscious, we can  not hold the highest vision effectively. Sometimes even the history of  our ancestry will prevent this, without our realizing it. The SCIO  session will be to identify and help us to release anything that may  keep the group from being most effective.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">3. Align ourselves with that highest vision  through Heart Centered awareness - It is not about us deciding what that  is, but about getting out of our own way, so that we can be clear  channels for a higher vision of love. It is about clearing our circuits,  listening and then acting. The action can be a prayer, a letter to your  congressman, whatever you are lead to do will be your part in helping  to create something new. This can be different for each person in the  group, but the vision is the same, a healthy earth.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">4. Prayer for Water - special prayer to water   prepared with water from the Atlantic Ocean. I live very near the  water&#8230;.. I will take some water from the ocean and we will charge it  with our love and prayers and the energy of the session. I will then  return that water to the ocean with thanks and gratitude for all the  ocean does for us. If you live near the ocean you can do the same, but  your intention will also be in the water that I will be preparing.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: small;">The session will be held on  Fridays, at  sunrise Eastern Daylight Time. Instructions for the  session will be sent on Wednesday evenings. If you have to work  or can not take part in the session at the appointed time, you can  still participate. Every heart helps. Please join the list and your name  will be added to the session. Set your intention and open your heart to  love the Earth and the water that sustains us all.</span><strong><span style="font-family:  Arial; font-size: medium;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #330033;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Join  together to hold a loving, healing space for the Earth with special emphasis on  the Gulf of Mexico<br />
</span></strong></span></div>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #003300; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">As the days go by and we see the situation in the Gulf continue to worsen, I think we can understand that this situation could use love and attention on an ongoing basis. Do not think that this situation is not affecting you just because you do not live on a state that borders the Gulf of Mexico.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">This  event has the potential to harm all of earth&#8217;s  ocean if the spill is not contained. The information given to the press by BP has not reflected the seriousness of the situation but new information from the scientific community is showing us daily that this is an event that needs our love and attention.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">Some of the information below was in last weeks post but I am restating it here for those who are new. Please check out the link below. This page shows you the currents of the ocean and how they flow and you will understand the magnitude of what could happen if the oil gets into the Loop Current in the Gulf and from there, into the Gulf Stream.</span></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://cubanology.com/Articles/Ocean_Currents_The_Distribution_of_Life.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #008000;">Currents of the Earths Oceans</span></a></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size:  small;">I worked on the ocean and around oil rigs for 12 years as a boat captain&#8230;.I have  seen the damage that happens just from normal drilling operations. I  have also seen first hand the negligence of the oil companies in  maintaining offshore wells after they have been capped and are no longer  useful. I think these issues are important to address. All the money in the  world will not keep life on this planet if our oceans are devastated. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">There is evidence that we really can heal our Mother  Earth through intent, love, and the action of scientific prayer. Check out <strong><a href="http://www.glcoherence.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #008000;">The Global Coherance Initiative</span></a></strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">Princeton University&#8217;s PEAR research has also revealed how our consciousness can affect our reality. But there is one  ingredient that is crucially important in changing our current reality. That ingredient is belief. Our belief systems can stop us. If you can&#8217;t believe in it and hold the vision it won&#8217;t work. Many of the beliefs that stop us are subconscious or so entrenched we don&#8217;t recognize them for what they are, fear, doubt, anger, etc. This is why I am offering the free long distance healing session below.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">There is power in prayer and holding love in your hearts to help create a new and healthy earth. In this healing session we will  hold prayer for the water of our oceans and specifically the Gulf of Mexico.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">In using the model of quantum physics in healing we work with something called &#8220;downward causation&#8221;. This is a concept based on working with the energy of probabilities and shifting things on the level of Consciousness. These probabilities then filter down into the physical. While I believe it is beneficial to take physical action, it is more effective if we change the consciousness behind it first so that we do not continue to create the same problems. So, in addition to a group meditation to hold Love for the Gulf of Mexico I am offering a free group session to assist in removing old patterns from the groups possibility factor so that we can create something new!<br />

<div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">The  intention of this event is to bring love and support to the Earth with a special  emphasis on  manifesting the highest vision for the Gulf  Of Mexico.</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">This session will be performed with a SCIO quantum biofeedback device. It will also include prayer, energy work and meditation The purpose will be to:</span></span></div>

</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">1. Unite Together - we will use the power of group consciousness </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">2. Remove Energies which keep us from effectively holding the vision of highest good for the Gulf and our oceans - if we have fear or anger in our hearts or subconscious, we can not hold the highest vision effectively. Sometimes even the history of our ancestry will prevent this, without our realizing it. The SCIO session will be to identify and help us to release anything that may keep the group from being most effective.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">3. Align ourselves with that highest vision through Heart Centered awareness - It is not about us deciding what that is, but about getting out of our own way, so that we can be clear channels for a higher vision of love. It is about clearing our circuits, listening and then acting. The action can be a prayer, a letter to your congressman, whatever you are lead to do will be your part in helping to create something new. This can be different for each person in the group, but the vision is the same, a healthy earth.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">4. Prayer for Water - special prayer to water  prepared with water from the Atlantic Ocean. I live very near the water&#8230;.. I will take some water from the ocean and we will charge it with our love and prayers and the energy of the session. I will then return that water to the ocean with thanks and gratitude for all the ocean does for us. If you live near the ocean you can do the same, but your intention will also be in the water that I will be preparing.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #330033;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Join  together to hold a loving, healing space for the Earth with special emphasis on  the Gulf of Mexico<br />
</span></strong></span></div>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #003300; font-size: small;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong></span></div>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">There is evidence that we really can heal our Mother  Earth through intent, love, and the action of scientific prayer. Check out <strong><a href="http://www.glcoherence.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #008000;">The Global Coherance Initiative</span></a></strong>. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">Princeton University&#8217;s PEAR research has also revealed how our consciousness can affect our reality. But there is one  ingredient that is crucially important in changing our current reality. That ingredient is belief. Our belief systems can stop us. If you can&#8217;t believe in it and hold the vision it won&#8217;t work. Many of the beliefs that stop us are subconscious or so entrenched we don&#8217;t recognize them for what they are, fear, doubt, anger, etc. This is why I am offering the free long distance healing session below.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">There is power in prayer and holding love in your hearts to help create a new and healthy earth. In this healing session we will  hold prayer for the water of our oceans and specifically the Gulf of Mexico.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">The reason I have chosen to focus on the Gulf of Mexico at this time is that this situation has the potential to harm all of earth&#8217;s ocean if the spill is not contained. If you have noticed the press on this subject, every thing has been understated and then later the seriousness of it is upgraded. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">I worked on the ocean and around oil rigs for 12 years&#8230;.I have seen the damage that happens just from normal drilling operations. I have also seen first hand the negligence of the oil companies in maintaining offshore wells after they have been capped and are no longer useful. I think this is important to address. All the money in the world will not keep life on this planet if our oceans are devastated. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #330033; font-size: small;">In using the model of quantum physics in healing we work with something called &#8220;downward causation&#8221;. This is based on working with the energy of probabilities and shifting things on that level. They then filter down into the physical. While I believe it is beneficial to take physical action, it is more effective if we change the consciousness behind it first so that we do not continue to create the same problems.<br />

<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">This session will be performed with a SCIO quantum biofeedback device. It will also include prayer, energy work and meditation The purpose will be to:</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">1. Unite Together - we will use the power of group consciousness </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">2. Remove Energies which keep us from effectively holding the vision of highest good for the Gulf and our oceans - if we have fear or anger in our hearts or subconscious, we can not hold the highest vision effectively. Sometimes even the history of our ancestry will prevent this, without our realizing it. The SCIO session will be to identify and help release anything that may keep the group from being most effective.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">3. Align ourselves with that highest vision through Heart Centered awareness - It is not about us deciding what that is, but about getting out of our own way, so that we can be clear channels for a higher vision of love. It is about clearing our circuits, listening and then acting. The action can be a prayer, a letter to your congressman, whatever you are lead to do will be your part in helping to create something new. This can be different for each person in the group, but the vision is the same, a healthy earth.<br />
</span></span></div>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<div><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">4. Prayer for Water - special prayer to water  prepared with water from the Atlantic Ocean. I live very near the water&#8230;.. I will take some water from the ocean and we will charge it with our love and prayers and the energy of the session. I will then return that water to the ocean with thanks and gratitude for all the ocean does for us. If you live near the ocean you can do the same, but your intention will also be in the water that I will be preparing.<br />
</span></span></div>

<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>The intention of this event is to gather a group of people interested in improving their connection to Nature and using that to co-create in harmony with the Earth.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>When I talk about Nature I am speaking  about the aspect of Universal Consciousness or Divine Mind that responds to thought and prayer and brings the intangible into physical form.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>We often think of ourselves as the creator of the thought or idea, but science is beginning to  prove that the thought occurs <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before</span> we &#8220;have it&#8221;. So, I think we are more like a projector. </strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>The purpose of this session will be to help tune the projector, &#8220;us&#8221;, to be in alignment with living in harmony with our beautiful Earth. </strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>There are a lot of fears, worries and other deep emotions being expressed now on our planet as we go through so many wars, financial disasters and earth changes. These thoughts have affected our weather and the viability &amp; quality of life on our planet. </strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>This session will help the group to clear these morpho-genetic fields from their consciousness. Participants can step into alignment with Nature and help create Peace in their lives and on the Earth.<br />

The session will begin at 7 am EST and end at 8:30 am. However, if you can not participate at that time a prayer will be provided so that you may set your intention to benefit. Long distance healing is Non-local, or &#8220;outside of time&#8221;. You can access the energy when you are ready. It is important to participate with your intention.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></h4>

<div>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>The intention of this event is to gather a group of people interested in improving their connection to Nature and using that to co-create in harmony with the Earth.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>When I talk about Nature I am speaking  about the aspect of Universal Consciousness or Divine Mind that responds to thought and prayer and brings the intangible into physical form.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></div>
<div>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>We often think of ourselves as the creator of the thought or idea, but science is beginning to  prove that the thought occurs <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before</span> we &#8220;have it&#8221;. So, I think we are more like a projector. </strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>The purpose of this session will be to help tune the projector, &#8220;us&#8221;, to be in alignment with living in harmony with our beautiful Earth. </strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>There are a lot of fears, worries and other deep emotions being expressed now on our planet as we go through so many wars, financial disasters and earth changes. These thoughts have affected our weather and the viability &amp; quality of life on our planet. </strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small; color: #008000;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>This session will help the group to clear these morpho-genetic fields from their consciousness. Participants can step into alignment with Nature and help create Peace in their lives and on the Earth.<br />

The session will begin at 7 am EST and end at 8:30 am. However, if you can not participate at that time a prayer will be provided so that you may set your intention to benefit. Long distance healing is Non-local, or &#8220;outside of time&#8221;. You can access the energy when you are ready. It is important to participate with your intention.</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></span></h4>

		<description><![CDATA[a guide to cleansing your liver &#038; gall bladder and why it is beneficial]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_1004" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 304px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-1004" href="http://awaken2grace.com/main/why-do-a-liver-and-gallbladder-cleanse-for-spring/attachment/celtic_yin_yang/"><img class="size-full wp-image-1004 " style="border: 4px solid black;" title="celtic_yin_yang" src="http://awaken2grace.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/celtic_yin_yang.jpg" alt="The yin/yang of Wood, the energy of Spring" width="294" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The yin/yang of Wood, the energy of Spring</p></div>
<p>by Marilyn Edwards</p>
<p>Spring is the season of Wood and the organs of spring are Liver and Gallbladder&#8230;..it is a time of rebirth, renewal and setting the vision for a whole new cycle. In Spring the expression of life is at its strongest and it causes us to look clearly at ourselves and others. It is a wonderful time to take advantage of the opportunity for growth.</p>
<p>While spring can challenge us to grow and change we can feel discomfort in our bodies and psyches if we are blocking the energies of growth and renewal. The best way to prepare your body for these energies is to make sure your liver and gall bladder are functioning properly. Your body is your receiver and you want it tuned into the highest available energy!</p>
<p>In Chinese medicine the liver function is considered to be the grand architect for our vision of the future. It sees the direction we need to take to live life in harmony with Nature. It is the Yin or feminine aspect of the Wood/Spring energy. The gallbladder is considered to assist in the ability to make decisions and wise judgements. It is the Yang or masculine aspect of the Wood/Spring energy. When these organs are balanced and functioning correctly our bodies are strong and we make wise decisions and implement them.</p>
<p>The Liver is a reservoir of blood and plays a role in manufacturing vitamins, glucose, hormones and it helps to filter the blood. When it is functioning well one has discernment, mental clarity and good creative life force. If there is an excess of energy in the liver&#8230;&#8230;one can be angry, resentful, and discontented with life. Physically there is congestion, headache and possibly alternating constipation and diarrhea and sexual problems. When this persists an insuffiency and emptiness of energy can develop causing one to be overwhelmed by emotions, have hostility, and possibly even wish to die. There may be physical symptoms of anemia, neuroses from lack of blood, impotency, and apathy, fear of speaking, crying uncontrollably, or even fear of death. Fear and Anger can be out worst enemies. In Chinese medicine the Liver is the seat of the Soul and carries ancestral energy as well.</p>
<p>The Gallbladder is the warrior, it is yang and represents courage, audacity, and fearlessness. It helps you to make decisions and take action. All organs take their orders from gall bladder. It is the director of energy. Gall bladder is connected to the cosmos and can help you move beyond to higher knowledge and free you from worldly thoughts. A person with strong gallbladder energy can give orders with eyes that speak without speaking.</p>
<p>If Gallbladder is excessive you can have feelings of apprehension, discontentment, jealousy and envy. You may be insecure but appear to be stubborn and irritable. Physical problems accompanying this excess are migraines, asthma, constipation and needing to sleep a lot. When the energy drops too low you may feel cold, have low blood pressure and insomnia. You may feel fearful and anxious. If it goes on for too long you may become self righteous and authoritarian with an undercurrent of anger which can eventually become boughts of depression (anger turned inward) and fear of failure. Restlessness, chest pain and sighing for no reason can accompany this phase. Gallbladder represents the vital impulse that brings a message from the universe. It is courageous and has good judgement.</p>
<p>It is really important on the energetic and physical levels to have these organs functioning well. If your liver and gallbladder are sluggish you may have allergies, asthma, inability to digest food well and weight gain that is very difficult to take off. You may well feel stymied and as if nothing is going your way which leads to anger and fear and eventually exhaustion.</p>
<p>If you have big visions but never seem to be able to take them anywhere, it may help to cleanse and stimulate Gallbladder. If you feel like your vision is dead then the Liver may need some assistance.</p>
<p>Help yourself by giving your liver and gallbladder a good cleanse this spring. Listed below are some links to information on gallbladder/liver cleanses and treatments. Hope you find it useful!</p>
<p>Blessings, Marilyn</p>
<p>At the two links below you will find information on many different kinds of liver and gallbladder flushes that can be done with little expense. One of the mildest and very efficient ones I have used is the Classic Coke Gallbladder Flush. It is in this list&#8230;&#8230;very simple and very efficient. Some others are more difficult and provide a deeper cleanse but read and decide what is right for you.</p>
<p><strong>Remember, if you have a condition consult your physician. There are cases of gallbladder stones being too large to pass but most normal people should be able to do these flushes with ease.</strong></p>

<h2><strong>My friend</strong> <strong>Brenda&#8217;s Castor Oil Liver poultice.<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>by Brenda Eversole-Zimmerman</p>
<p>I  call this treatment a “Liver Pack”.        It is a Castor oil poultice placed on the skin over your liver.<br />
1.    Get some water heating for your hot water bottle - (You may use a heating pad)<br />
2.    Apply castor oil to the area over your liver (under right rib cage). If you have essential oils on hand there are several that help aid liver function, I like geranium, so I put a drop of that on too.<br />
3.    I rub the oil into this area  for a few minutes to direct extra energy to the liver.<br />
4.    Next, cover the oil with plastic wrap (You can also cover the oil with gauze pads, or a piece of flannel, then plastic wrap)<br />
5.    Lay down with a hot water bottle (wrapped in a towel, as hot as you can stand) over the plastic wrap.<br />
6.    Use this time (20 minutes) to relax and visualize the liver letting go of its toxins.<br />
7.    If I’m doing this for someone else, I cover their eyes with an eye pillow and play relaxing music.</p>
<p>This is a powerful treatment tool. The castor oil can dissolve and draw out cysts, tumors, warts, growths, and other toxic accumulations.<br />
Upon completion and after you wipe off the oils, if the treated area is red, splotchy, or rash like, that is GREAT. This indicates the release of toxins by your liver. The longer the area remains after you complete the session, the more you know you really need to keep doing this treatment.<br />
This is also a great treatment to use on the skin area over the uterus.</p>
<p>TESTIMONIALS</p>
<p>This is my personal experience. I had done my first Liver Pack treatment and had an area about 6” in diameter that was welted, the diameter shrunk down to about 2”, but stayed for 2 days. Later that week,  I received test results that I confirmed I had an ameoba in my liver. So, the irritation that was showing was validated by a report that there was indeed something going on in my liver.<br />
I had a client who had a rather extreme, delayed reaction after her first “liver pack”. Her skin opened up and pus poured for a week. We continued the treatments weekly, and after  3 weeks the skin was healed beautifully. (Castor oil also helps soften and remove scars)</p>
<p>I hope this contributes to your health and I wish you Good luck, Brenda</p>
<p><strong>REMEMBER</strong></p>
<p>Always consult your health care professional if you have any condition that you are unsure of when using Natural cures. We have to recognize that results of cleansing don&#8217;t always look pretty to begin with. If you are unsure, or have never tried various cleanses before, get some assistance or research until you are comfortable with your knowledge and feel safe in practicing a natural cleanse. This article is meant to give you an awareness of the possibilities, the final decision rests with you and your health care provider. I am hoping you find this information useful.</p>
<p>Open to the energy of Spring. Balance your Wood energy and decide to implement your new Vision for this year. May you enjoy love, prosperity, good health and compassion.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Balance your Life with the Seasons</strong>&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Each year I offer FREE long distance group healing and balancing sessions for the Equinoxes, Solstices and Earth Day.</p>
<p>Spring Equinox  or Vernal Equinox is at 2:35 am EST on March 20, 2010. It is the day of equal light and dark before the days begin to lengthen again. A time for planting new seeds in your garden and in your Consciousness. A time to wake up from the winters slumber and get moving again!</p>
<p>Please join me in celebrating this wonderful time of year by participating in my annual Spring Equinox long distance balancing and healing session. It is a Free service I offer as a way to express my gratitude for the abundance in my life.</p>
<p>This session is to assist you in tapping into the energies that are available for your use in the Spring and to move any blocks you might have to receiving and utilizing that energy.</p>
<p>The Equinox is a day of balance. Both Yin and Yang, feminine and masculine, light and dark are equal in their power and presence on this day. It is a day that brings the powers of growth and prosperity, which are the forces of Spring. It is a day of powerful transformational energies that allow for change that might not be possible on other days of the year.</p>
<p>Tap into these energies with me on the 20th of March.  Take time to balance your life with the rhythms of Nature. There are many challenging changes occurring now on the Earth and in our lives but there are powerful forces available to assist us if we tune in and harness them now.</p>
<p>I will begin on the evening of the 19th with a meditation and fire ceremony for the group. I will also place the group on my SCIO Quantum Bio-feedback device and run programs to assist you in embracing this new energy of Spring. I spend the night camping outside and when I awaken in the morning I meditate further on anchoring in these energies for the group and myself. I encourage you to join me because when we all participate we help each other. I will then complete the SCIO session. Within several days I will send out notes on the session and what I observed in case any of this information might be useful to you on your journey.</p>
<p>Please sign up for my list below. By signing up your name will be included in all further healing sessions as well. If you wish to discontinue, you can do so at any time by unsubscribing.</p>

<p><strong>Balance your Life with the Seasons</strong>&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>Each year I offer FREE long distance group healing and balancing sessions for the Equinoxes, Solstices and Earth Day.</p>
<p>Spring Equinox  or Vernal Equinox is at 2:35 am EST on March 20, 2010. It is the day of equal light and dark before the days begin to lengthen again. A time for planting new seeds in your garden and in your Consciousness. A time to wake up from the winters slumber and get moving again!</p>
<p>Please join me in celebrating this wonderful time of year by participating in my annual Spring Equinox long distance balancing and healing session. It is a Free service I offer as a way to express my gratitude for the abundance in my life.</p>
<p>This session is to assist you in tapping into the energies that are available for your use in the Spring and to move any blocks you might have to receiving and utilizing that energy.</p>
<p>The Equinox is a day of balance. Both Yin and Yang, feminine and masculine, light and dark are equal in their power and presence on this day. It is a day that brings the powers of growth and prosperity, which are the forces of Spring. It is a day of powerful transformational energies that allow for change that might not be possible on other days of the year.</p>
<p>Tap into these energies with me on the 20th of March.  Take time to balance your life with the rhythms of Nature. There are many challenging changes occurring now on the Earth and in our lives but there are powerful forces available to assist us if we tune in and harness them now.</p>
<p>I will begin on the evening of the 19th with a meditation and fire ceremony for the group. I will also place the group on my SCIO Quantum Bio-feedback device and run programs to assist you in embracing this new energy of Spring. I spend the night camping outside and when I awaken in the morning I meditate further on anchoring in these energies for the group and myself. I encourage you to join me because when we all participate we help each other. I will then complete the SCIO session. Within several days I will send out notes on the session and what I observed in case any of this information might be useful to you on your journey.</p>
<p>Please sign up for my list below. By signing up your name will be included in all further healing sessions as well. If you wish to discontinue, you can do so at any time by unsubscribing.</p>

<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Venus in Aries by Chris Klein-Goss, Astrologer</strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">Venus travels through the sign of Aries from 8 March to 31 March 2010.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">Love is ‘On Fire’ now, with the emerging springtime, and we are all vulnerable</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">to behaving like teenagers just discovering one another.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">Aries, as the first sign in the wheel of the year, is focused on ‘self’ discovery and often needs many experiences and temporary relationships, before learning how to involve themselves with others, successfully.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">We are totally alert, blood surging through our veins,</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">engines revved up, and ready for action. It is the season of Birth</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">and Renewal. We are easily drawn to impulsive, intense, but brief</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">encounters with others. Colors we want to wear are fire engine red and scarlet.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">Skin is prone to eruptions, as we cleans our systems and refresh our energy for rebirth. Aloe preparations can be soothing both internally and externally, and garlic has known cleansing and healing properties.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">We may be anxious for quick results, and any delays can bring forth caustic words, if we forget our higher selves in an anxious moment. Time-out under a fir or bay tree, or strolling among ferns can calm and help us realign our spirit. Wearing malachite jewelry, putting mustards or peppers on or in our foods, buying a red poppy from Veterans Organizations can each contribute to channeling our energy into productive directions.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">Gardeners would do well to prepare nettle tea for feeding plants in their care. Healers are advised to check the condition of the iris of the eyes among their patients; this may provide clues to solving imbalances in the system.</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: &quot;Comic Sans MS&quot;; font-size: 10pt;">Healthy outlets for this season’s intense energies are sports, and the race track, roller derby, skateboard park, and tennis courts will all be popular places. Brunswick Germany, Capua Italy, Burgundy France, and Dallas, Texas are locations where culture and history can appeal to our sense of adventure now, and we have plenty of adrenaline flowing, to keep the season filled with new experiences.</p>
