2011 Let there Be Light!
“In the beginning there was nothing. God said, "Let there be light!" And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.” ~Ellen DeGeneres
This is the year of the light; being in motion, fluid, flexible, fast forward as we transition from a vast number of archaic thought patterns into trust and belief in what is. Belief in the power of the self, the individual. No longer guided by institutions but inner wisdom.
This is the year of the wind; (wind=pneuma is the early Greek word for spirit); embracing change and no longer attached to person or thing. On an evening when the moon was just a sliver, a beautiful crescent floating in a midnight sea, I stared at it with a familiar love as I had gazed upon it so many times, filled with emotion. I realized how attached I am to this celestial orb and all of nature and how much I love this planet; that it might keep me coming back here again and again. The wind moves us, sweeps doors open, we dare go where we have not been before.
“Words can lead us to the threshold of knowing but cannot cross with us, the threshold into unknowing.”
Step by step we breathe in and gather light—breathe out and disperse the light. We share that with every being and every thing. It stirs our soul.

December, Sagittarius and expanded vision…I seek the Truth! Jupiter the ruling planet of Sagittarius begins the month at 23 degrees of Pisces and ends the month at 26 degrees of Pisces in almost exact conjunction to Uranus for the 3rd time. This pair traveling together has provided us with an added opportunity (Jupiter) to awaken (Uranus) to our spiritual natures (Pisces). The 3rd conjunction is not exact until 01/04/2011 giving us a little more time to grasp the big picture (Jupiter) as rapid change (Uranus) ultimately carries us to the brink of the apparent unknown (Pisces).
If we could picture source and then imagine all beings as fractals emanating from source does it not make sense that we would all be made of the same stuff and would we not be perfect in every way no matter how that essence tends to manifest once it reaches our 3-D reality? We are all created from the same substance but look different depending upon the genetic predisposition we have stepped into. We are, one and all, here having dynamic experiences that support our evolutionary process and cannot be other than perfect. There is no right or wrong unless we support that with our thoughts.
Science says that in the human body cells reproduce constantly and they copy them selves repeatedly. By the time they have copied them selves over and over the result is a ‘shadow’ of the original. It is an explanation for aging. If we are all fractals of a whole and have been duplicating our selves (through generations) over and over again are we just a shadow of the original template? No. We are still the original template. The ‘shadow effect’ is caused by the centuries of experiential layering that we carry with us in our DNA. These are called memories. Our ‘memories’ create our thoughts. Visualize all of our spinal columns (which hold our DNA) all linked together in a mass network and call that the collective conscious. Every time an individual shifts beyond a limiting thought pattern it shifts a portion of the collective. We evolve our ability to realize self, to access the original template. It happens on an individual level first (never think that one person can’t do enough) and that in turn affects the entire structure we have created here.
It is not the experience that is the ‘problem’ but the words we use to describe that experience; or the fact that we want to describe it at all.
*********
The major arcana card corresponding to December, the 12th month is the Hanged Man. On a cross he hangs by one foot. The other leg is bent forming a 4. The number 12 is reduced to the number 3 (universal order) and 3 multiplied by 4 (spirit into matter) equals 12. Symbolically, 4 opened at the top, is the astrological representation of Jupiter, the planet discussed earlier of opportunity, the big picture, wisdom and the pursuit of Truth. Here with the Hanged Man is an opportunity to channel a higher level of wisdom by being still and observing calmly what this experience is from an entirely different perspective. We are so ‘attached’ to our perspectives. It makes it really challenging to see it any other way. Most of the time we are not even aware of how limited is our vision.
In December, the month wherein we get cozy, curl up and prepare to go within for the period of winter reflection, find a way to open up to more, to remain calm and still long enough to be free of the old vibration and receptive to the new. Ultimately it requires again, the willingness to simply surrender, accept and allow.
Eating Dates…
A recent suggestion from an old and valued source suggested eating dates to supplement the diet. These sweet morsels have been consumed for many centuries and are full of nutrients and fiber. They are easy to digest and contain beneficial oil, calcium, sulphur, iron, potassium, phosphorus, manganese, copper and magnesium. The health benefits are many. More information is available on the internet:

November, a new order “In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete."-- Buckminster Fuller
November holds a very special vibration. As an 11, it is the only month represented by a master number. Master numbers afford us an opportunity to accomplish in ordinary ‘time’ the extraordinary. Those individuals born under the vibration of a master number walk amongst us like demi-gods and yet their trials may be onerous and numerous. The master number 11 speaks of the balancing (of yin and yang) that occurs within a human being that brings recognition of oneness. Sharing the light within results as we come to an understanding that, “I am that.”
The Justice card of the Tarot is not always the 11 card. Sometimes it is the 8 card otherwise known as Strength. As an 11 however, Justice represents the very principles mentioned above; that of bringing balance for the highest good. One of the foremost messages of the Justice card is accountability i.e setting right those negative patterns of action from the past that we may be repeating in this life. For this reason it has a rather karmic association. As such, in this month of November, we look at honestly reconciling incongruous situations in our lives and harmonizing the divine will with conscious creation. As depicted in the Justice card the sword of truth cuts through illusion and brings balance to the affairs of men indicated by the scales carried by Justice in her left hand.
The three cards that advise us for November are: The 4 of Rods (the present) where we comfortably experience all the marvelous abundance we have created in our lives. We enjoy the fruits of our focused intention. 4’s, through their solidity and support give us a platform from which to springboard into what more we may wish to attain. Movement is a necessity.
The second card (the issue to surmount) is the 10 of Swords, a grim looking card with a ‘pointed message’. We can no longer allow our selves to be victims, to disempower our selves, to feed the illusion. As Justice reminds us it is time to take responsibility for our selves. If we are being deceived it is only our self who allows the deception or perceives any given action as a deceptive action. Empowerment is a requirement.
The third card (what lies on the other side of the issue) is the 3 of Cups a card of rejoicing, community, compassion and perfect balance. It is happiness that occurs when our hearts are open to sharing the love and passion that flows eternally from the core of our being. With this powerful emotion we create (number 3) a resonant reality in which the beautiful vision we have for this planet and our selves finds practical expression!
**********
This mid-November or shortly thereafter provides us with a time of reckoning when a moment of truth brings information to light with the potential of creating swift and extensive change. We will have the faith and the will to face these discoveries boldly with the possibility of healing a great divergence in collective consciousness.
We have entered a slipstream defined as: “The area of reduced pressure or forward suction produced by and immediately behind a fast-moving object as it moves through air or water.” In this case the slipstream is created by universal intent which draws us into an evolutionary quickening.
There is a point at the center of the roads that lead from north, south, east and west. The point is now, this moment. Here we stand in perfect balance able to observe without thought when we dissolve the roads that have led us to this point.
Thank you for your presence and don't forget to love, laugh and leap!
October, clarity and practicality Fall has arrived and every year in October we look forward to a change of season. It grows dark earlier so that we are inclined to spend more time indoors. We may likewise turn our focus inward in preparation for a new cycle of life that awaits with the coming of spring. October is the tenth month and relates to the tenth of the Major Arcana cards—the Wheel of Fortune X. The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that change is inevitable; that all things are part of a cycle that moves us forward regardless of our desires to be or not to be moved. In these times of rapid ‘adjustment’ it benefits us greatly to be self propelled and willing to alter our course for our highest good. A new cycle begins with the intent: “I trust my clear mind and the unfamiliar.”
There are two Major Arcana cards that represent the tenth month, the second being Judgement XX. The cycle represented by the Wheel of Fortune ever turning brings us ever closer to the realization of our highest calling and a rebirth or recognition that it is time to accept responsibility for that calling or truth. This is the message of the Judgement card. We go deep within in order to remember our truth and so arise or awaken to a new life. The angel blowing the trumpet is the cosmic alarm clock reminding us that it is time to wake up.
The three cards for October are the King of Pentacles, the Emperor and the two of Rods; very masculine, powerful and assured of success. An interpretation of these cards addresses the benefits of knowing the self as the provider; the one who creates security, stability and abundance in this life. We recognize the need to be practical, grounded and to use wisdom to guide us, wisdom that is based upon past experience and having seen and experienced many things already. Everything is possible in this life. You hold the world in your hands and need only know what it is you want in order to create success—whatever that may be in your eyes.
There are many times we have given our power away to the authority that rules us that is indeed what both the King of Pentacles and the Emperor represent—powerful ruling forces. It is time to wake up to taking a more active role in what we desire to create here and not be guided or misguided by corporate judgement.
October is the perfect month to immerse your self more deeply toward the point that expands out into the universe where truth is being and “I move freely with the universal molecular flow.”
The Sabian Symbol for 10/10/2010 at 10:10 a.m is native Americans moving into new territory and making camp—“the ability to adjust swiftly to a new situation by tuning into its requirements.” At 10:10 p.m the S.S. is frost-covered trees against winter skies—“we reach the essence of our individual being, the form of pure selfhood which is the structuring power underneath all external features.”
The gateway of 10/10/2010 offers us an opportunity to adjust according to the resources at hand and, when there is nothing else what is left is what lies in my heart. The spirit of the full moon that has just passed rides a water dragon and rises to loom above us with strength and a great love. This will be distributed to all corners of this planet by the children who quietly walk amongst us now.
September brings rain…"There is a gentle rain descending upon us now…love, compassion and bodhicitta."
Venus and mars travel together throughout September first in Libra and then around the middle of the month they move into Scorpio. While they are in Libra the sign of relationship it is an opportunity for us to integrate and bring into balance both sides of our nature and as the empowered Queen of Cups would have us know, acknowledging all of our feelings, being honest about our feelings supports this goal of the balance.
The second card for September is the 3 of cups. Here there is emotional balance that allows for the flow of creative energy…in abundance! There is joy and passion that fuels the creative process. There is unity within the emotional body that allows the individual to focus the creative energy toward realizing goals and manifesting dreams. This is the message of the Star, XVII of the major arcana cards. As we patiently combine the elements of earth with those of the heavens we experience in physical reality the visions we hold in our hearts. This is the secret the Queen of Cups holds in her hands, the nature of our deeply held truths.
When venus and mars move into Scorpio, the balance achieved within Libra allows us to dive into a deeper knowing of our truth. It can be an intense few moments of unfamiliar navigation but have faith and trust that you will guide yourself expertly through these new waters. Water, the emotional nature, is what is unique about human beings and yet we often want not to experience them. Cups are water and in the Star card she dips her jugs into the plentiful waters of heaven and earth. To get to the other side of the river and assuming there isn't a bridge or a boat handy, you swim!
___________________________________________________________________________________
There are three topics to discuss that come to us from a very available source of which there are many; always loving with infinite patience. They talk to us about prime energy, core resonance and alternate realities.
If we choose at this time to create alternate realities for our selves, meaning, according to the consciousness that refers to itself as Dae.na, what we as individuals consider to be "heaven on earth", we should proceed with the assumption that all things are possible and what I think, I create. It isn't necessarily finding yourself in a parallel dimension but an alternate reality could be perceived as such in that you may exist in perfect peace and harmony and all that you consider to be beautiful at the same time that others are experiencing their reality which does not exist in your reality.
In order to create an alternate reality or field of energy we require a different vibration than that which we maintain whilst connected to our physical, three dimensional existence. There is nothing wrong with this 3 dimensional existence only that if you choose something different it stands to reason that change is necessary. How to increase energy and the vibration?
Prime energy is what supports the 'vehicle' to ascend. By ascend we mean to rise. Beneficial to abandon ALL thoughts which utilize tertiary energy, a heavy expenditure of energy. Negative thoughts/emotions. Think of all food as prime energy. Be encouraged to experience prime numbers, prime colors and instances of symbolic rather than verbal communication which is a great expenditure of energy.
Tertiary energy unbalances the 'core'. It interrupts the ability to generate core resonance i.e. the connection to source which occurs when all physical systems are clear of interference or in balance; particularly the nervous system.
Suggestions for assisting one self in this process of generating greater and more positive energy…(in Atlantis they utilized crystals to generate energy fields. Human beings have a crystalline structure capable of generating different fields. Support the crystalline structure of the human body, which exists everywhere in nature also, and the task becomes one of ease and grace):
1. avoid the grid. this means keeping life as simple and honest as possible. the grid includes a lot of emotional content that may contribute to confusion and weariness. the simpler life gets the closer one comes to the true nature of the self; that which remains when all else does not.
2. walk in the ocean two or three times a week. the ocean heals us on all levels. the sound is relaxing, the water detoxifying, the smell is intoxicating, the taste is invigorating and if completely immersed in the ocean's depths, one feels embraced in a way that is rehabilitating and regenerative.
3. connect with the energy of your star at night. each of us has a connection to the stars, all of them yes, but there is one particular star that you may call home. it is to this star, at night, that one focuses intention to receive energy; energy which assists us in generating greater light. as we receive more energy it is necessary to release old energy that has the potential to create physical conditions such as stiffness in the back, legs, neck etc. at this time there are many faced with odd physical manifestations of old patterns that are up to be cleared. have patience while you allow yourself to shift into a new level of personal experience.
4. take a good mineral supplement that includes selenium. selenium helps release metals=mercury, lead. this advice is crucial as our soil is so depleted of minerals that we are not getting enough to support the crystalline structure. the crystalline structure is throughout nature, beautiful and simple and eternal. it naturally radiates the light of perfection.
August, passion and compassion Leo is ruled by the sun. Here the flame of passion burns more intensely in our continued quest for our immortal and divine selves. We know however that the quest takes us not on a journey over field and mountain but deeply inward, to a place in the heart no bigger than an almond where rests the Buddha of the Diamond Heart. Luminous and silent Buddha shares compassion with all 'seekers' and reminds us that the heat of suffering becomes the flame of illumination. We have crystal clear vision and perfect understanding of the One.
Prometheus, a Titan, was entrusted by Jupiter lord of the gods to create mankind. This he did by combining earth and water containing seeds from heaven. He feared for man that he had not enough by which to survive so he lit a torch from the sun and brought fire to man even against the wishes of Jupiter who cared little for the Titan's creation. With fire man had warmth and the potential to make tools, heat food and bring light to the darkness.
In the human journey we now have unprecedented opportunity to further our evolution by utilizing this gift not in the physical environment but as a beacon to shine from within by incorporating the divine flame into the seat of conscious awareness, a point within the brain near the region of the pineal gland.
In a relaxed position visualize waves of magenta edged with violet settling upon you. Open the crown chakra. If you aren't clear on how to do this, picture a whale opening the blow hole. Now see a brilliant flame descending toward you first to sink to the root chakra, then to travel up the spine and to rest in the area as mentioned previously, toward the back of the head where your crown chakra remains wide open. Your intention at this point might be, "to allow this divine flame to illumine the path to great compassion and love" to burn away maya, illusion and to bring you closer to that small space at the core of your heart.
In the Tarot, the major arcana card that corresponds to the 8th month of August is Strength. Eight, which is twice four, represents the success we attain based upon a strong foundation we have created with the number four. Eight on its side is the infinity sign--this is the kind of strength that endures. When the heart is open and exudes compassion our 'rewards' are infinite, our courage boundless and our passion acts to ignite the flame not just within ourselves but also within others. Here we have finally 'tamed the beast' and our capable of true compassion. We become Prometheus or Buddha with a desire to share light and end suffering. That is a task that we took upon ourselves a very long time ago.
Eat watermelon, drink lots of water and grow something that is edible no matter where you live. Thank you for your presence and don't forget to love, laugh and leap…namaste, Anna
July,the trinity Mid-summer is a time for enjoying the warmth and light of the sun as we make our way through the longest days of the year. Dragonflies are plentiful as are butterflies and all the young that make their appearances in spring. July is when coyotes wean their pups, young raccoons leave their dens, lizard eggs hatch and if you are observant you may see young hummingbirds that have left their nests flitting about your flower beds.
Dragonflies require the warmth and light of the sun to function. They are associated with the "power of the light" and their adeptness at flight shows us the benefits of being open to the spontaneous movement that provides us with what is needed in any given moment.
The messages we receive from those who dwell close to us, separated only by perhaps a degree of light or lightness, is that, like the dragonfly whose colors deepen with maturity, it is now, in this time of deepening awareness that we commit ourselves to increasing our capacity to share our light. In a recent meditation I was surrounded by our 'brothers and sisters of the light' who are the same as we are: "We dwelt together in the time of the Exodus, stood side by side in support of each other as we traversed the hot sands on our way to spreading the light to all regions of this planet. We have never left you." They ask that we call upon them for assistance to further embody the light and traverse this time with grace and ease.
"I surrender to the greater light within and to those who journey with me
for the highest good."
They remind us of the number three and its importance as the first number of creation. In duality we sit until, as the Buddha shows us in posture of meditation we engage also the third aspect of our being, spirit. Within three is wholeness and the creative principle.
The threes in the Tarot deck all represent the balance of mind (yang) and heart (yin) that provide for alignment with spirit for creation in the physical world (pentacles) for the emotional expression (cups) of love, for mental integrity (swords) and positive action (wands). If we focus on the symbol of the Buddha in meditation we commit to a balance within that promotes self knowing and the recognition of perfection in all things that is peace within and therefore without.
The Empress (no. 3) of the Major Arcana is the embodiment of feminine wisdom and love empowered and as such manifests in abundance for the highest good.
Embracing the trinity that we are allows for a greater experience of life that exists right here, right now when we allow the light to illumine the shadows. We encourage each other into the light.
Thank you for your presence, honesty and willingness to surrender for the highest good.--thank you from my heart...mahalo nui loa
June…pluribus eritis amicitia (…"more will be friends"…)June is the month of compassionate communication the color for which is pink/peach. There are roses blooming prolifically now that express this color. It is sweet, open and loving where trust resides within the deeper hues at the blossoms center. It makes us aware of our own heart's pulsing beat and the desire to express the compassion that lies therein. That is the brief message I received regarding June 2010; that it is a gateway to higher levels of human communication supported by our decision to achieve emotional freedom and mastery based upon honest emotional interaction.
To expand upon this insight shared by aviossgallios 'ambassadors of light' who support us with high vibrational frequencies (in the form of color/sound), I chose several tarot cards. The resulting story is as follows:
Foundation of the reading: 10 of Rods=oppression. not fully expressing oneself.
Recent past: 7 of Cups=emotional addictions and indulgences. holding onto the past.
Now: Queen of Cups=master of emotional integrity. Communicating feelings accurately and openly. Crossed by Ace of Swords=mental clarity, the mind that has no doubt.
To Come: 4 of Cups=nurturing that comes from deep within.
Ascension Process: begins with, 9 of Cups=emotional expansion. 2 of Rods=coming into power. 8 of Swords=clearing doubt (making way for clarity). knight of Swords=master of passionate and intentional thinking that moves energy toward a goal.
In a nutshell, as human beings we have often, over centuries, denied ourselves the kind of expression that creates feelings of harmonious togetherness. We have oppressed/repressed our 'selves' in favor of what we think to be safe, acceptable, successful etc. We have indulged our selves in habitual forms of emotional behavior based on patterns developed over many lifetimes. These we perpetuate for the sake of continued adherence to familiar feelings. Change however is inevitable and in the present evolutionary environment, human beings find the determination to wade through the emotional content to discover what lies protected deep within--the freedom to be! A phrase often heard, rarely defined as there is no definition for the state that exists beyond the story.
With mental clarity gained through periods of inner nurturing, learning to love thy self, emotional expansion leads to a place of further empowerment, there is no doubt and human kind charges forward to embrace a greater purpose with passion and intent.
The major arcana card that applies to this reading is XX Judgement. We heal the past, let go, surrender to the call and reach out to receive the light and higher knowledge ultimately freeing us to compassionate, non-judgmental communication
May! Celebrate Love, Life and Lightness of Being Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.--Dalai Llama
May is a wonderful month to practice empathy and compassion. The charming Venus/Aphrodite, ruler of Taurus, lures us into our hearts in the physical realm and then asks us to express universal love from our hearts thereby manifesting the 'intent of the mind of god'. May is also the 'merry' month and a good time to play and celebrate all the gifts that are available to us in so many wonderful forms here. Eating healthfully is the natural desire at this time of year when fresh produce is abundant and warm weather entices us out of doors. Appreciation follows as a way of expressing gratitude for the physical forms that entertain us so fully on our planet earth. Be encouraged to look more carefully at what you really want by focusing on 31 days of kindness, merriment and eating in accordance with your natural template.
The New Moon on May 13th at 6:04 p.m occurs in the last 10 degrees of the sign Taurus and has a poignant message for us to contemplate; the extent to which we are influenced by our primordial instincts and the 'will' to survive and how that has caused endless suffering that need not be. This New Moon asks us to recognize that our basic needs are met and that survival is a given not something for which we have to fight. It also asks us to consider individual self worth in relation to the well being of the collective and to conquer fear in order to embrace the love nature.
The New Moon is a time to "emerge out of the seed capsule in order to begin an entire new cycle of activity." According to Demetra George in Finding Our Way Through the Dark, "…people born during this phase are symbolically coming out of the dark." Coming out of the dark is what precedes being enveloped by light. Light and love are synonymous.
The Colorful Vibration of Love
What if we exist in multiple dimensions simultaneously? What if we are witnessing ourselves living this lifetime from an evolved perspective? And, from this evolved perspective we are interacting with this physical presence because we are one and the same. The vibration we create here is a vapor trail upon the vast expanse of star strewn space. You and I stand in a crystal city of infinite beauty where violet hues emanate from the elusive form of glass-like structure reflecting and reverberating in every direction from a multitude of angles, the vibration of love.
A sound, produced by light interacting with crystal is heavenly music, angels giggling; softly skips across a field of hexagonal infinitude on its way to rendering itself audible to human ears. The magnificent power of the mind to create anything we want is apparent as we move deeper toward a knowing of the true self. For now we bask in the divine vibration of love and light that is showered upon us from sources as unlimited as our ability to imagine them so. In my imagination I visualize the color vibration of violet with accompanying angelic chorus shimmering down upon us in ever increasing waves of grace.
The Color Violet
…is the last color of the spectrum and so represents the highest qualities of human expression. It relates to the 7th chakra, the realm of spirit and our realization of universal oneness. Violet raises us to new vibrational potential.
March, Creating Space Spring is three weeks away! How to free myself of the ‘clutter’ that occupies my mind; to be in stillness that I might hear the sound, feel the energy, see the unlimited potential that exists within spaciousness.
One way is to examine the fears that are responsible for the creation of some belief structures. If we reach deeper when a fear comes up rather than running, we run into a much deeper sense of utter belonging to the divine source of creation. At the heart of fear is the truth we all know and that is the way home.
Be still in the chaos and return to clarity. Finding your way to center, align and ground is important when distractions overwhelm. There are MANY, yoga and meditation work well as does a regular exercise program to keep energy moving.
Know that the ‘teacher’ and thy self are one. See how the love of the master is the love of self. The teacher is each one of us. The light we see shining from the heart of the master is a reflection of our own inner light.
Astrology for the Vernal Equinox
The sun enters Aries at 10:32 a.m. on March 20th (PST). This is the official beginning of Spring! There are three important planetary aspects on this day that support us to dump the junk and leap into new possibility. The day starts with Pluto square Mercury. Pluto is the planet of transformation and elimination. Mercury is the mind and thoughts. The square aspect creates tension so that energy which is stuck will eventually move. Pluto in the sign Capricorn is already urging the destruction of old structures while Mercury in Aries is poised to explore the potential of self through an enlightened mind.
As the day progresses Uranus and the Moon come into sextile promoting freedom from established patterns of behavior. With the moon in Taurus it will challenge emotional attachments that provide us with a sense of security. There will be a desire to embrace collective movement for the highest good.
On this day, Sun and Saturn are within a degree of exact opposition. Saturn is retrograde and approaching the exact opposition. A planet in retrograde revisits and regurgitates stuff from the past. With Saturn in the twelfth house and in Libra what may surface are anxieties based on fears of the unknown that were established in collective perception regarding the nature of duality a very long time ago.
How better to deal with such profound concerns than the energy of Aries? With the Sun in the sign of the spiritual warrior we will be led forward into the unknown fearlessly and passionately. Each individual will have an opportunity to embrace that which they fear most in terms of bringing the self into perfect balance. There is a door in front of us, standing open that invites each one of us to feel the harmonious alignment of a dual nature and to share the deep love of self that this allows.
The fact that Mars goes direct on the 10th and will be aspecting the Saturn/Sun opposition offers fuel for our flight! Mars direct has a natural tendency to be assertive, action oriented and goal focused. When retrograde the energy is turned inward. We are more apt to re-assess what we want and to be introspective. As Mars turns direct there will be a desire to act upon what we have gained from the opportunity to withdraw and go within.
Spring Cleaning!
…should also include a liver cleanse that ultimately supports the functioning of all the organs. Water and lemon juice, dandelion greens, milk thistle tea are all helpful to the liver but to do a thorough cleanse you will want to check out various cleanses that are available on the internet. Most are easy to do with a little discipline. And most provide you with great information about the nature of cleansing in general. The following is from www.livingcenter.com a site with great information:
Liver/Gallbladder Flush
Spring is the best time to do the liver-gallbladder flush, a natural remedy that can help to eliminate gallstones and accumulated sludge from the gall bladder. Two to three weeks before doing the flush take hydrangea root to break up and dissolve the stones. (Hydrangea root can also dissolve kidney stones and excess calcium deposits.) The flush consists of juice fasting on fresh vegetable juices for two days and apple juice for one day, taking Triphala (an ancient Ayurvedic herbal tonifying bowel formula) during this time to increase bile flow and keep the bowels moving. On the night of the third day, drink ½ cup of organic cold-pressed virgin olive oil mixed with ½ cup of organic freshly squeezed lemon juice just before bed, and lie on the right side to concentrate the remedy in the gall bladder. The next morning, after an enema, the colon may evacuate up to 100 gallstones, seen as bright green pea-sized crystallized cholesterol deposits. (If your liver or gall bladder is in a weakened condition, see your health practitioner before doing this flush.) After the flush gradually introduce solid enzyme-rich fresh foods into your daily diet.
After some cleansing, milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seeds assist the liver as it regenerates cells and throws off body toxins that it filters out. A great liver-cleansing salad is early bitter greens, especially dandelion leaves before the flowers form, with milk thistle leaves, shredded raw beets, lettuces and carrots. Later, lecithin-rich dandelion flowers may be added. Bitter greens, such as dandelion, are astringent foods and assist the liver and gall bladder cleanse, shrink and revitalize for the coming year.
New Year's Message A message from Cybele, ancient earth deity, Mother of the Mountain : “Wear the forest as a cloak, allow your arms to sprout feathers, let the rivers course through your veins, the wind to blow through your words and fire to ignite your passion while your feet remain rooted deep within the earth. Your eyes reflect the stars; you are awareness.”
As we approach 2012 every year holds promise for a quickening that guides us toward an unknown future. 2010 will be permeated with messages that we have been hearing for some time…’know our true selves and open our hearts’. The true self, that which is, when the illusion is not.
This year we sharpen our focus on participation in the evolution of life toward a form of perfected existence here. We accept responsibility for living our emotions on a daily basis and allow our emotions to guide us in all of our interaction with others for the highest good.
This year we accelerate our growth and with a somewhat serious focus intend to structure and build in a manner that supports the good of the hive; that is, that which houses us. With sound reasoning we will ensure security for the many. In order to accomplish these things we systematically examine our greatest fears and resolve them--the human being’s fear of abandonment and subsequent death.
How do we overcome our fears? By having faith and trust in the individual as a component of a much bigger reality. The fractal sum of cellular cycles creates a human being. A human being is an organic, bio-logic, temporal fractal. Minds are also fractal systems that replicate the forms and movements of the universe. The fractal sum of human cycles at a larger scale create socio-biological organisms called nations and civilizations. The ‘collective mind’ can also be seen as a fractal system that replicates the expressions of the universe. As such we move through life as perfect representations of source. The possibilities are infinite. The experience is our choice. We can choose to let go of preconceived ideas and we can choose to embrace all of life.
As visionaries we will create transcendence beyond accepted framework and traditional boundaries. As spiritual revolutionaries we will dissolve those boundaries and free ourselves from the ancient patterns that have encumbered us. We will discover true security within our ability to be free that allows us to act with great compassion, as conscious beings toward all things.
In Honor Of…
This is to honor all those beings of the stars, of the earth, of the oceans who come to us in love to teach us so that we might experience an expansive joy and peace. From this place of fine vibration we send a ripple of light energy that flows out in all directions. As the planet moves into a higher vibration, the sea of love surrounding us will be amplified. Everywhere will be resounding love.
The whales direct us to expand our vibrations of love, to see not just the grain of sand but the entire ocean which is ours to explore and play within. With song, sound we expand our capacity to hold love in our hearts. Whales have for thousands of years held that vibration for the planet (along with indigenous peoples) that allows us to play in duality. If we are to continue it behooves us to be the ones who support the mother’s magnetic body. Song strengthens our natural rhythms which in turn strengthens that of the earth. Whether we imitate the whale’s song, the song of the bees or our own individual song we honor the true human being within—we are one with the spirit of nature and so honor all things as one.
May we all embrace our true spirits and breathe in the light.----Happy New Year!!
