August Blog

My theme for August is transmission. Following on from the co-ordinated Global Meditation on 22nd July (see July Review below for more on this), we are focussing on a transmission of the positive energy along the London leylines, which author Chris Street has identified as being a geometric grid he calls the Earthstar. London has been gripped by Olympic Fever and the chosen venues for the Olympics are well suited to radiate the unconditional love outwards.

According to Chris: The Olympic village and stadium are as well positioned and plugged into the spiritual energies of London as any sacred site.

An alignment from Parliament Hill to Barking Abbey runs directly through it. The midsummer sunrise line from St Paul's Cathedral goes through the Olympic Village.

The May Day and August Ist sunrise alignment to St Paul's goes through the stadium.

August 1st is the old Celtic festival of Lughasahd, a fire festival celebrating the Celtic god Lugh, "The Shining One" a god of light and "solar hero" archetype.

The River Lea is named after Lugh. It rises in Luton (precisely where the famous Michael line runs through the town) and , on its way down to the Thames, it surrounds the Olympic stadium like a sacred enclosure.

Since the Olympic games were founded as a celebration of Lugh's counterpart, the old sun god of the Greek and Roman pantheons, all this looks remarkably appropriate and well planned.

So much so that some people suggest it is more than coincidence, that it has all been planned to the last detail. Some conspiracy theorists even claim that there is "occult significance" behind all this.

Quite frankly, I think they don't fully understand the things they are labelling"occult."

As a druid and self-confessed mystic, I have a different perspective.

One based on working with the ancient wisdom traditions of the druids, which is often referred to as "The open book of nature" its natural wonders, cycles and animating spirit.

Certainly, ancient wisdom is being tapped into here, but if the Olympic management team had anything to do with all these perfect mystical synchronicities, they have all worked out a lot better than the usual examples of bumbling ineptitude that have marked their performance on this project so far, or its related predecessor, the Millennium Dome.

My explanation is that it is an example of how the "spirit of the land" (known to the alchemists of old as The World Soul) works through the collective psyche and sometimes inspires and guides humanity to do the right thing at the right time at the right place.

To aid this possibility, there are several things that healers and members of the Earthstars Group can do to encourage a positive outcome. Like attracts like. The law of attraction means that and the energy of universal love demonstrated at these sites will be felt and create a harmonic resonance that will now be more readily felt throughout human consciousness....as the unconditional love of the divine feminine Earth Spirit.

So I am having nothing to do with the negative, fear based misconceptions. I am taking the stance that this could be a very positive experience and that something unexpectedly wonderful may happen during or after this global gathering.

Chris has created a recording of a specially empowered chant which can be downloaded as a free MP3 file from www.soundcloud.com. or from his Earthstar Website. To obtain a CD version, there is a minimal cost. Email Chris to obtain a CD or to join the Group activities, or for anyone UK-based, to be a local co-ordinator for events in your area.

We are recommending daily meditations throughout the Games, but especially on the 1st August being the Celtic Festival of Lughasahd (Lunasa), focussing on sending unconditional love along the leylines and particularly to the large bodies of water beneath the city itself. Focus the transmutational power of of the Violet Flame of Amenti towards the stadium and radiating outwards (you can simply invoke Melchisadec, Ariel, Zadkiel, Michael, Aratron, Achaia, and Akhenaton to help you do this). Playing the chant will greatly increase the impact of the healing energy.

July Review

July began with a positive boost due to the publication of two of my Sacred Sites articles in Paradigm Shift Magazine Issue 57 and the July/September issue of Network Ireland. This was followed by a flurry to ensure my daughter Amber was fully prepared for her three week working volunteer trip to Ghana departing on the 7th. It was an emotional scene at the airport as we knew that the lack of home comforts, testing dietary options (Amber has been a vegetarian since she was nine) and no access to Twitter, Facebook nor constant texts to friends would prove a challenging and educational experience for her! Our other daughter, Scarlett, then launched into a full week of work experience in Central London, which she was lucky enough to secure within her chosen field of the music industry. With her Grade 5 piano exam at the end of that week, we were constantly serenaded with her set pieces and hoped to goodness that she could keep up the astounding quality under exam conditions.

Immediately after the piano exam we set off for Ireland to see friends and enjoy some relaxing together. We were still out of the country for Espen's Global Healing Meditation, as detailed on the July e-Newsletter.

The Facebook notification of the event was seen by over 1200 people which doubled the exposure of notifying via my July newsletter database and follow-up reminders. Thank you so much to those who participated and please do send feedback on how it felt to be involved.

Global Healing Meditation - 22nd July

July Blog

My theme for July is action. Available evidence tells us that we need to take action to reverse the damage we continue to inflict on our environment. We also know that co-ordinated action is more effective. On the Sunday 22nd July, at 11.11 (always a powerful time) and/or 2.27pm (the numerals of the date changed into digital time), we are asking you to join us for a few moments to put some positive energy into protecting our environment from man-made damage.

A Date with History: 17 yr old Brittany Trilford addresses world leaders at the UN Earth Summit

Last month, on the 20th June to be precise, a 17-year old New Zealand girl, called Brittany Trilford, addressed the 130 Heads of State at the Rio UN Earth Summit. Her intention was to draw attention to the concerns of young environmentalists and her five minute speech is worthy of our attention, even if only to give us hope that the younger generation are capable of being more responsible than those in positions of power today.

Her message was no doubt heavily influenced by the one delivered by 12-year old Severn Suzuki at the previous Rio Earth Summit 20 years ago. Severn's measured outburst was even more hard-hitting.

I featured her emotional speech in a previous e-Newsletter, but I'd still recommend a look at it if you can justify 7 minutes to reflect on how the actions of our peers are impacting on future generations. Video quality has moved on somewhat in the last 20 years, but her passion is evident.

In the midst of major Diamond Jubilee Celebrations for the UK Royal Family, Prince Charles still managed to deliver a potent overview of the current global predicament. Albeit a virtual presence, Prince Charles left no doubt as to his extreme concern over our continued non-action to reverse environmental damage and his opposition to meddling with nature.

"Like a sleepwalker, we seem unable to wake up to the fact that so many of the catastrophic consequences of carrying on with 'business-as-usual' are bearing down on us faster than we think, already dragging many millions more people into poverty and dangerously weakening global food, water and energy security for the future.

One thing is clear. We need to be much more informed about the actual state of the planet.

We do not have nearly enough knowledge on which to base the decisions that will be the best for the long term.

Until we do, we expose ourselves to the mounting danger of major shifts in policy that are not well conceived, but come as panicked responses to crises that could have been avoided."

His full ten minute speech can be watched from this link. Even those who don't support the Monarchy would have to admit that HRH Prince Charles has been a high profile supporter for change towards sustainability for a very long time indeed.

In the face of so much to be achieved, it can be overwhelming to find a place to start, but in fact a small effort little and often would do a great deal of good. When co-ordinated with other people's effort the impact is greatly enhanced.

One of my healing colleagues and a fellow lightworker is worried about the ongoing influence of the Hadron Collider Experiments. He has devised a meditation which could be used to transmute any damage from this scientific project, or indeed any other transgression against nature. He has asked me to circulate his short meditation and invite people to join him in participating in the visualisation at a co-ordinated time. We recommend 11.11 and/or 2.27 on Sunday 22nd July, as this is the date traditionally dedicated to Mary Magdalene and therefore representative of the Sacred Feminine. By invoking Eth, you can join in at any time to suit you and send your intention for the positive waves of energy to join forces with other participants. See the 22nd July section below for details of the visualisation. You can simply send pure loving intent to the group healing effort if you prefer. I will be running a Violet Flame Workshop in Limerick that day, so we will also join in.

June Review

Anyhow, once in rural Devon, together with my husband Richard, we were able to wind down and experience the mid-exam onslaught of verbal abuse in a more salubrious environment. Having loaded and unloaded the bicycles in anticipation of some leisurely exploration of the local scenery, the tail end of hurricane Beryl, coupled with some additional unseasonably heavy downpours, resulted in the bicycles remaining firmly chained to one spot until it was time to load them back up for the return journey home.

Instead we resorted to entertainment from board games, cards, relaxing therapies at the local spa and embarking on a DVD marathon with regular instalments of the entire first series of Game of Thrones; an American TV adaptation of the book series by George R R Martin. Being fans of Science Fantasy we can't help admiring the complex multiplicity of plots overlaid on each other, though a large percentage of the TV version is not really suitable for 15 & 17 year olds, producing some interesting embarrassing moments for our teenagers.

The constant rain put paid to a clear view of the Venus Transit on the 5th/6th June, to help soften the blow to those of us who missed it, NASA have produced an amazing video of it ...

The weather also put a dampener on the start of the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations for HRH Queen Elizabeth, but the weather improved for the Jubilee Concert in Hyde Park which we watched on TV. Since I generally go months without switching on a TV, it was all a bit surreal.

Chris Street was in London for the Jubilee Celebrations. Here's what he had to say the day after the Hyde Park Concert:

I think something wonderful happened last night. Many people felt a real positive shift in the energies of the Earth and the collective consciousness.

Who would have imagined that so many thousands would gather around a major point on the Earthstars N-S axis and show such an outgoing of joy and happiness.

Then along came Annie Lennox and sang her song about angels.....
 

Later in June, we attended a TedX Conference which was very thought-provoking an inspiring. Featuring personal stories from parents and invited speakers the TedXSWPS typified the 'learning without boundaries' format expected from a TedX Conference, which is why the movement with a stated mission to host 'ideas worth spreading' is taking the world by storm. Ranging from a parent so moved by a TV story of child neglect that she set up a successful charity to make a difference despite having a full-time job and no qualifications or experence in the field, to a lady at school in South Africa during the horrific violence of the SOWETO uprising (which had taken place exactly 36 years earlier on the 16th June 1976) and the impact on her understanding for the need to put an end to racial descrimination.
