How Your Soul and Body create your Life's Journey
 

Invocation of Sacred Space – Why I do this
My goal is that my guides and your guides work together.  When I take the time to invoke the Nature Sphere and Archangel Michael, it is much more likely that your own guides will share with you an additional story and complimentary ideas as I speak. If the words I’m using aren’t quit what you need to hear, your guides can give you a memory, an image, a symbol or an idea that is more suitable for your life and what is going on with you right now.

Inviting that aspect of Archangel Michael that is always and already supporting you in your journey and the elements of Nature to create Sacred Space will magnify your healing process. 

Why we Resist Releasing Thoughts, Emotions, Behaviors  

Sometimes we resist releasing energies that surround us, largely out of habit.  We have become accustomed to feeling the equivalent of pillows all around us, or many winter overcoats layered upon us.  It can feel scary to let go of the Angels, guides or energies that have been with us for so long.  And yet as we release them we are able to stand up straighter, and are more apt to hear the guides and Angels that are truly a part of our life’s journey right now.

Defining Your Soul, here and now

That portion of your soul incarnating into your body now has a different vibration than the portion of your soul that looked down and decided to incarnate within your mother’s womb. Who you were when you were born is not who we are now.  Everything is changing, even the planet.  Would your soul not want to take advantage of these new opportunities?

Meditation: Releasing energies no longer active in your life. 

When a portion of our soul completes a task, or decides that the task cannot be completed in this lifetime, that portion of our soul leaves.

Here is a meditation to allow the guides and angels whose tasks have come to completion with us to ease out of our space.  This applies to any being or energy who has helped us in the past.  We need to especially consider those time in our lives when the cycle did not have the outcome we wanted, or if the situation seems to have not quite completed itself.  In these instances we are most apt to override the natural flow, and try to hold onto those guides and angels who supported us during this time.  We do this believing that the situation needs to resolve differently.

By releasing from all around our body those guides and angels that supported us through difficult situations, we are also releasing our mental constructs that say “this is wrong” or “the outcome was wrong”.

As long as we label something as “wrong”, we also keep the energies related to it such as ourselves, our guides and our angels from continuing their own cycles of evolution.

Why some Energies look Dark to us

When we see something on a psychic or energy level as being the color brown or black or simply dark, it is a way that most of us have of knowing that an energy is not in tune with our body and is not healthy for us to engage with.  As it leaves, it need not change color, because it is still not good for you.  We perceive it as a dark color only because our own instincts know that it is not healthy for us.  Allow it then to be whatever color that it is. You do not need to change it.  Let it be on its own evolutionary journey.  Let it choose any changes for itself.

And that frees you up even more, because those energies all around you that aren’t in tune with you anymore recognize that they don’t have to change before they can leave.  And you recognize that you don’t have to change them before they can leave.  It is not up to you to do anything with them except recognize what is no longer in tune with you and release it onto its own journey.

You are a Radio Station (and a transmitting tower)

Each of us has a unique vibration.  As our consciousness shifts, the vibration that our body holds shifts as well.  The quality of consciousness that we hold is like a little radio tower emitting our frequency. And, we can hear the frequencies broadcast by others as well. Spiritual Emotions of love, gratitude or compassion move into the collective consciousness of humanity and become available to each person incarnating now. We can also learn to “tune away” from some frequencies that broadcast other emotions.

Even if we do not interact with our external physical world, by meditation and feeling compassion, stillness, and gratitude within our bodies, we generate these same qualities.  And they become more available, louder, within our shared consciousness of humanity.

Meditation – Your Unique Frequency of Compassion 

As you allow your body to vibrate with your unique frequency of compassion this vibration moves out into the space physically around you, and then out into that shared collective consciousness.  Now it becomes available for others to listen to, in those moments when they may have forgotten that they too have the ability to express compassion.  Your frequency of compassion is close enough to their own that their body begins to tingle and resonate a reminder from inside.  Or perhaps you may forget, and it is someone else, sitting in meditation, who helps you remember your own unique frequency of compassion.

10 Final Clearing and Release of Your Angels and Sacred Space
Thanking and releasing your conscious magnified connection with Nature and your personal support system of guides and angels.  

When we release guides and angels from the past we free up the space around us for those guides and angels that are working with us right now.  They have more elbowroom for themselves and don’t have to yell at us from several rows back.  

Oftentimes when we feel like we have lost connection it is because we have too many guides and angels around us that we have called in.  Our current time guides and angels are at the back of the pack, waving and yelling at us, trying to get our attention over the heads and voices of years and years of old guides and angels, most of whom have completed their tasks with us already.

 (Full and New Moons, Solstice, Equinox, Eclipses and 12.21.2012)

On days which are considered to be sacred it is useful to take a moment to feel the old cycle which is fading away.  Letting ourselves feel the grief and sorrow over old patterns departing lets there truly be space to receive the new patterns.

This meditation includes 

 - releasing cords to processes that no longer serve your body
 - a sound healing “Caught by Spirit”

and spoken meditations releasing energies corresponding to:

 - cycles that you have already completed

 - tasks that you have already done

 - lessons that you have already learned

All of these energetic connections can be released out of your body. Your release of these connections will be reflected in the collective consciousness of humanity.  This one way we take advantage of the heightened energies present during Full and New Moons, eclipses, Solstice, Equinox and other notable days.

1 Introduction

2  Invoking Sacred Space 

Archangel Michael, the Pure Energy of Nature, Nature Spirits and Intelligences join us.

3 Inviting Your Angel/Guide into Your Awareness
Most of us have a sphere or portal of energy into our hearts that lies behind our physical bodies.  This is where our Guardian Angel, Higher Self and connections to other healing energies most often occurs.  Here is a meditation to open this portal, cleanse it, and then invite in the Angel or Guide most suitable to support you now.  

4 Understanding what you are already sensing in your body

Besides picking up on other people’s physical body issues, the telepathic ability of our lower chakras can also pick up disturbances and changes in the electro-magnetic field of the planet. These are the sorts of changes that many people anticipate will be happening over the next few years.  For this reason it is particularly useful to be able to distinguish when the signals your body is sending to you relates to your own body, someone else’s body or the planet.

5 Spiritually Significant Days

Many people are already directing their attention, and so therefore their energy, into the date of December 21, 2011.  I wonder if the various days preceding this that have interesting numerical combinations serve as practice days for us.  How do we energize days that are defined by someone as spiritually significant? How well do we create sacredness afterward the hoopla of a spiritually significant day has passed?  Especially when we are receiving the energetic results of what was done?  These practice days give us the opportunity to work with the larger energetic patterns that arise in ceremony and return to humanity when many people focus on one thing.

6 Collective Consciousness and Polarity

Outside of our reality there is no polarity.  When the energies that we are creating in ceremony move out to the other realms or dimensions, the other realms perceive the energies in their entirety.  They do not perceive someone wanting good.  They simply perceive someone as wanting. It is we who divide an energy into its good and bad aspects. The other realms do not perceive just the good, the calming or the joyful aspects of our ceremonies.  They perceive the entire consciousness within ourselves, which includes those unconscious elements of fear, shame and all that we may not yet be aware of within our own selves.  For this reason we often feel “out of sorts” in the days following a sacred ceremony.

7 Meditation:  What is the will of your Soul?

Our soul has its journey upon the earth within our physical form.  It comes through our entire body, not just our head.  In fact, our soul wants to embrace our entire physical body, every cell and every atom, from our toes through our navel and into our hearts.  Here is a meditation to do just this.

8 Sound Healing: Caught by Spirit

Norma sings a Song from Spirit accompanying herself with a schruti box. 

9 Cycles of Change

The connection explored in this meditation between your soul and body simply helps you understand that no matter what happens external to yourself that there is always a still quiet center.  There is always a place where Spirit and form meet within you. This place can never be changed, altered, or taken away from you.

10 Meditation: Releasing cords, processes, tasks and old lessons

Your release of these connections can be reflected in the collective consciousness of humanity.  As you release, this serves as the slightest reminder to others that they too can release. As you change, the message of change expands out to everyone in your life. It is up to their soul and their body to determine what, if any, of this change they may want to consider.  You need not wait for them.  You can make changes now.

How your body receives grounding within the changing electromagnetic field of Earth

As we have changed in consciousness, so too Gaia’s consciousness and therefore the Earth has changed.  The electromagnetic field of the Earth is constantly shifting and changing.  More so now.  This meditation is one way of helping our own electromagnetic field (our aura) listen and respond to the changes in the Earth’s electromagnetic field and the consciousness of Gaia.

Here is a meditation inviting your body to remember its innate connection to your soul. Deeply relaxing, this meditation includes segments of releasing energies within your body and your aura. By inviting those energies that match your soul from within the lower dimensions to reestablish their natural connection to you, a fluid and ongoing energetic dialogue is created between your soul, your body, and the Earth. This is a new style of grounding which serves us well as we move into a new era of consciousness.

Our Western culture has cultivated such a dependence on our heads and our ability to think that it has also cultivated a disconnection with our bodies.  We have ended up with lovely bodies that walk our heads around.  Fear has become an intrinsic way of life. It has become our daily companion.  This is because we as humans can not access our own body’s knowing and telepathic experience of the world which lies within our navel chakra and within our enteric nervous system.

As we recover this lost skill, we will get better at feeling what is and isn’t actually a danger to our body.  As this happens, our level of fear decreases.

My guides during this meditation included Thoth, Shesat, Mary and Archangel Michael.

Meditations exploring where “home” is within your body, how to get there and how to remain there.


1. Introduction
2 Invocation of Sacred Space

3 How Energies that are not ours show themselves to us
Creating clearer and stronger communication with your Guides and Angels.   The quality of connection we have with our guides depends largely on our ability to understand when energetic consciousnesses, such as guides and angles, are telling us to let them go, or let them change and update their connection to us.

4. Home is in your Navel
As we learn that there is a quiet still-point which already resides within us, the quality of spirit which imbues this silence moves out to our external world. 

5.  Meditation for Ease in 2nd Chakra
It isn’t just about sex.  Our 2nd chakra helps to determine the quality of our life.  The ease we have interacting with the world might be simple and uneventful, or each day might feel like we are bracing ourselves against the torments of daily life.  In most cases our soul wants our body to have an easy and joyous experience of daily living. 

The polarities of this reality are more deeply held in the lower chakras then in the upper chakras. Early non-verbal cues that often teach us racism and sexism lie in the 2nd chakra.  So too the belief that we are not ‘good enough’ or that we don’t have the right to exist, or permission to be happy have their roots within the 2nd chakra.

6 Meditation for Soul/Body Gender Expression in 2nd Chakra
Beginning to explore how your soul expresses both its male and female gender through your physical body.

7 Revealing the Grounding that is Natural for Your Body
Through your feet, your 1st chakra and every cell of your body there are innate connections to those energies that your body knows how to use to nourish itself. Judging our body keeps our body from grounding itself because it keeps us contracted away from these nourishing energies.

8 Replenish – from Norma’s album “Songs of Spirit”

9  Deeply Resting into Home
Home is the expression of the soul through the body in an unfettered manner.

Do the forms you are currently manifesting serve you? Does your life now reflect what your soul desires to manifest? What is the quality of ease that your soul wants your body to have in your life?

Manifestation is an energetic process within our throat or 5th chakra working in tandem with our navel chakra and knee chakras. The quality at which our skin rubs against our physical reality is largely determined by our soul.

Most of us have accidentally created much more friction in our lives than what our soul means for us to experience. With this meditation we help you find the quality of ease that your soul means for your body to have in your life now.

Sometimes it is our expectation that it will be difficult to release something that actually makes it difficult. Most of the time, the old is really uncomfortable, and we have simply grown used to the discomfort. The more we let go, the more ease we have in our lives.

Spiritual energetic waves are always coming towards us. But the new can't arrive until we have let go of the old. In the ocean of life, you can't surf two waves at once!

What if we were to shift healing and prayer away from the idea of needing help and giving help? What if we saw healing as being a situation where a person's soul and body are recognizing a potential for strengthening their connection? Together the soul and body have identified a weak link that they are ready to change. It is only the personality that is holding us back from moving easily along that path of change.

Where are the qualities of the Divine Feminine that are yours to bring forth? Where are those qualities of creativity, or of exuberant dance? Where in your life is there opportunity now to find the co-creative stance that you, as a human, are meant to bring forth?

Spirit dances with us from all the dimensions. When we feel, see or sense the foundation of our reality, the Pure Energy of Nature in the First Dimension, we then gain access to all the upper dimensions as well.

The Divine Feminine that is innate within you longs to arise and meet the Divine Feminine that surrounds you.

This is the energetic right brain portion to a series of written essays (fall 2010 – winter 2011 newsletters, available at the website). Part of what the essays review is how, at this point in time, we are being called not to blame or point fingers externally, but to step forward using the upper heart chakra to know what it is that we need to do, to have the power to do it with the navel, and then to do it in commune with others using our collective connections in our 5^th chakras. The guides wanted to create a meditation that places into the energy field of those interested the potential to do this.  It is not just the mental theory of the written essays, but rather the energetic that now lies within you

In our western culture we think of manifestation as being a linear process.  I think of something, I visualize it, I meditate on it and it appears.  We don’t often think of the creative process as being cyclical, in that it re-occurs regularly, and has various stages.  There are quiet portions to the Creative Cycle that occur before anything comes into form. These quiet portions are seldom noticed.  But it is while the energies of Spirit and Nature are gestating that we as humans can often nourish or accidentally trample upon something potentially manifesting in our lives.

Here is a meditation supported by the energetic presence of Archangel Michael, Mary and Thoth to help you notice and attend to projects that Spirit is already working on bringing into in your life.

Healing Meditations for Ancient Consciousness from Nature and new insights from Thoth

Through a series of meditations and insights, Thoth and others point out to humanity a doorway through which an ancient consciousness of the First Creative Cycle, long asleep within the Earth as oil, might now pass onto its own healing journey.  As this happens, humanity’s relationship with oil and other “inanimate” beings changes.  This is our next step.  Here are some ideas how we might begin it. Moving into a new relationship with all of the consciousnesses with whom we share our planet means letting go of our belief that anyone of us knows how another should act, should be, or even should heal.

A Meditation for the Gulf Oil Spill - Connecting Consciousness

The meditation was given through me by Shesat, who is the female companion of Thoth.  He was also present, and shared some important observations.  One was that because of the attention humanity is now giving to the water, fish and environment in the Gulf, a connecting doorway has opened between our consciousness  and the consciousness of these other beings. Thoth weaves his information in between the meditations that Shesat gives. This lasts for about 50 minutes, and then there is a time of Q & A which draws out some additional information.

Some of this may be time-sensitive, so I did not edit the meditation. 

Below is the original channeling from Thoth seemingly predicting the Gulf Oil Spill. It comes from my Phone Meditation/podcast "Easing, not Heaving into Transition", Oct 14, 2008. The transcription was published by Sedona Journal of Emergence December 2008. “...a crisis around energy and land is apt to move onto the world's stage.  The energy of this episode is likely to take the form of a major natural disaster involving oil drilling in the ocean.  It will be in a location and of a size that significantly impacts the food supply for millions of people.

“This episode will force you to examine how you extract oil from within the Earth.  It will also force into the general media and into your awareness already known facts about the damage your current style of oil drilling has done to the planet.  It might be so devastating that oil drilling is banned by most countries. 

“This information is not shared as a way to create fear.  Rather, it is shared to remind you that change is constant, and what doesn't change easily, bit by bit, will ultimately change dramatically.” It is my hope that this meditation and the others that are available as mp3s and CDs are of use to you in your life.  As always, donations help to offset the cost of maintaining the mp3 download site, sound editing, and such. 

My blessings to each of you,
