Or so I thought!

In fact, traveling is how I built my business and these days how I sustain relations with all my children and grandchildren… of which there are five and six respectively… scattered across the planet… living in Hokkaido Japan, Bali, Sydney, Karatha West Australia, until recently, Chiang Mai, Thailand and myself on Big Island Hawaii.

There would be a very small percentage of people who have traveled more than I have in my fifty odd years on earth.

So this experience I am sharing with you was particularly humbling and extremely instructional to my soul self… I’ve considered the occurrence at length and I want to share my observations with you… so you can laugh with me at myself… and maybe gain some insight into how powerful we are as humans, creating our experience to match our expectations ….Even those we successfully hide from ourselves on a daily basis.

I was on my way to my son’s high school graduation ceremony in Chiang Mai Thailand. I left my home in Ka’u… down south on Big Island, Hawaii just after dawn for an hour and half drive to Kona airport… for a domestic flight to Honolulu. My body had been out of balance for the whole of past week with alternating chills and sweats… so I was trying to be quiet and careful along the way, I did not want to arrive in Chiang Mai incapable of enjoying myself.

I had to wait around a while in Honolulu before boarding a flight to Seoul, Korea. I was very tired, not well at all… Six hours later, I was in Seoul, with a three hour lay over ahead. I had manifested a bad cough on the flight as a result of the cold air so I was exhausted when I disembarked.

Deliriously tired… concerned I would lose track of time and miss this crucial flight, I reset my Blackberry to Korea time.

All went well, I made it to the flight to Bangkok in good order and had an uneventful journey over five hours to Thailand… arriving at midnight for a nine hour lay over, before catching the domestic flight to the North, where two of my sons were waiting for me…

My cough had me awake throughout the flight… but the movies, food and service were fine and I was comfortable, relaxed and ready for adventure when I arrived.

Bangkok was a shock to my system!
It was so hot I was sweating from my eye lids… after midnight… on the bus to the hotel!

The hotel was comfortable and those at the front desk were charming.
They offered to call me at 9am for the shuttle bus that left at 9.30am.
My flight was to leave at 10.15am for Chiang Mai… the airport was ten minutes away.

It was hot….! So hot…. I like it hot, but it was really, really hot… I was slithering around the bed in a sea of my own sweat most of the night… there was an air conditioning unit… it blasted freezing cold air into the room… with a great deal of zeal and noise…. the last thing I wanted was another chill… I refrained from using the ‘AC’ more than once to cool down the room.

After a restless night, sweating and coughing, I half opened my eyes and realized it was bright daylight outside… I came to full consciousness… sat bolt upright in a pile of damp bedding and went straight into total panic … what’s the time?

No one woke me up!

I fumbled around for my Blackberry and squinted my eyes sufficiently to see the time… it said 10:01 am!!!

This information absolutely matched my need to panic… I was right! They had all let me down and now I was in trouble..

“Oh God I am going to miss my plane! I’m not going to make it to the graduation…. Oh God what to do…..???”

In fact I prayed furiously, intently, the whole time I packed and dressed… Dear God… make the plane wait… please allow me to be there in time… dear God let me make it to the plane on time may there be a miracle that allows this to happen !

There was and I did!

However….

At this point I want you to know I am including what happened in my emotional body as a result of this momentary experience of potential failure… I wrote them out in point form at the end… so I could see them clearly in the third dimension and not dismiss them in any way. I thought I had dealt with them, but there they were in all their glory chocking me with fear of failure on a Saturday morning in Bangkok… !!!

What happened?

In certainty of abandonment and failure I hurled all my damp clothes into my bag, quickly dressed, scanned the room for what I might have forgotten and rushed down the three flights of stairs carrying all my luggage at once…(about 35kg or 77lbs) it was a super human effort and had me sweating in fountains, (from places I never knew could sweat.)

By the time I arrived at reception, I was wringing wet and breathless, hardly the put together, stylish world traveler I usually present…

Let’s be clear here… I live in Asia. I am part Asian myself. I own a hotel. I know what crazy tourists are like. I know how Asians are…

And yet, there I was, sweating, panicking, emotional… babbling something about missing my plane and no one keeping their promise to wake me up… By now, everyone is looking at me like I have lost my mind. Asians have this really immutable smile they plaster across their face when things are getting out of their control or understanding… they simply smile and nod and hope you go away soon because you are disturbing the peace… it is the most frustrating look you can imagine… and just as I was about to launch into a new stream of unintelligible emotional madness focused on the innocent receptionist, I noticed the clock on the wall behind her…. It said 8:10 am.

I got the joke immediately…

…my blackberry was still set on Korea time and I was not late… in fact I was very early!

Nothing I imagined was true, was real…

I had made it all up in an instant… I had punished myself for no reason… simply because I was out of present time!

Including the miracle of God answering my prayers and allowing me to be on that plane!

My greatest fears

1. No one cares

2. People promise to help but don’t

3. Not because they don’t want to but because they are so stupid

4. Everyone blames everyone else and no one is actually accountable… and I am left unsupported

5. I will fail the ones I love and they will see I am unworthy of their love and respect…

6. I will do more than my best and still fail because I will be sabotaged… by the ones whom I trusted when they said they would help me!

7. There is not enough time…. I can’t make it, I need a miracle!

8. They have made it impossible to succeed and its not my fault

9. They are amused and entertained by my failure…

10. They have no compassion for me, I appear to be from another planet, they hardly know what I am talking about and do not feel responsible…

11. I am on my own, not even the normal support systems can help me… I am ready to believe the shuttle bus left without me… !

12. I have to try harder than everyone else…. And I have to do it on my own… other people get help, have partners who love them but not me! I am alone and unaided… bound to fail!

13. If I don’t arrive on time everyone will blame me for not caring enough.

14. If I fail to arrive for the graduation everyone will be right that I don’t really care about anyone but myself….

15. Whatever I do it’s never enough… I am not strong enough or clever enough or smart enough or lovable enough to get it right… to receive support, to be nurtured and loved with gentleness along the way.

And on and on and on I could go with the barrage of self criticism that came through my mind and heart and every cell of my body over that nine minutes… only nine minutes!

Can you imagine?!

I entered a kind of purgatory, self inflicted for nine minutes and my whole life flashed before me… every painful unkept promise, every sad lonely moment of fear of failure… hopefully it came to the surface for the purpose of release and healing! Like a big boil… bursting forth with the hidden poisons of my unconscious beliefs.

On reflection I feel it was a setup by my Guides and Angels so I could have the experience and get the lesson.

Every other time, in every other country I would simply set my own alarm if I had a connection to make. I was tricked in a moment of weakness to allow myself to be vulnerable to my own greatest fears… on arrival at reception so late in the evening, I was feeling fragile and was touched by the young Thai woman’s warm smile and offer of a wake up call I did not do what I would usually do and take care of myself… after all, I am the need nothing want nothing child of an alcoholic household and I don’t usually trust anyone to take care of me…. It was a set up to show me where I am unhealed… or perhaps how much power I have to create what I “expect”… so… the secret must lay in changing what I expect… at the deepest level.

My question is this…

How can I train my unconscious to believe wonderful things about myself and my lovability?
To expect the best!
How can I use it to create a successful Creative Arts festival in Ocean View Hawaii?
How can I use it to share the excitement of building Oga Oga in Bali next March during Nyipi?
How can I share my true and deep love for my fellow travelers on Earth’s highways?
How can we use our power of “expectation” in service to The Greater Good?
How can I refocus this power of manifestation of expectations to the attraction of all I need to fulfill all my dreams for peace and prosperity on earth for everyone?

I’m working on it… you can too!

I’ll let you know how it turns out… feel free to let me know how it turns out for you too… perhaps this is the greatest power of the common man ?

Our expectations manifest our reality…

….make sure you stay in present time and love yourself and everyone else, unconditionally!

Last night I was given the gift of overview.
I have been very hard on myself lately because I have high expectations.

The overview came in the form of a transmission from a friend from another dimension.
It went like this…

“There must be preparation for the times to come.

Internally and externally. To prepare you, we have been working on your energy field lately which is why you seem discombobulated! You are not the only one. There are many powerful Light Workers who are being ‘conditioned’ for the next stage. You are being forced out of the field of 6th Ray consciousness… that consciousness that celebrates illusion… sickness, healing and healers…  exalting the relationship between the master and the student and the energy that comes with personal attachments…”
If you want to know more about the 7 Rays (I am not an expert by any means ) check out “Tapestry of the Gods” by Michael D. Robbins, Ph.D…

Kicking and screaming, against our wishes (but not our soul’s will ) we are being forced into 7th Ray consciousness!

It’s time to grow up! Into our uniqueness!

We’ve been moving through a frequency that for its own purposes has had us growing down!
Forcing us into a world of sameness and illusion… The Matrix!

What is the energy of Ray 7?

Community consciousness at it’s highest intent, absolute equality…   7th Ray energy is the energy of the Great Mystery Schools of antiquity, a world of community consciousness at its highest frequency, that allows for everyone’s uniqueness.

Just to be very clear… one of the greatest teaching aspects of the 6th Ray is illusion whereas one of the greatest teaching aspects of the 7th Ray is uniqueness.

I am living here in Hawaii, on the Big Island, a place called Ocean View… It is almost at the edge of the known world, looking out to the ocean from the side of a volcano… 5,000 years ago there was a great temple here and a powerful Mystery School, now it is buried under the lava. I am here as custodian to the energy… awaiting the triggers that will allow us all to express our genius…

Just before this exchange explaining about the energy of the 7 Rays I was beginning to doubt myself and my purpose… I knew there was something wrong with me… I couldn’t get into a balance and be the normally super productive person I am.

I know now that if I had not stopped and gone home to Bali to recover my center I would have literally died which was not in the plan!

I am writing this to give everyone hope.

It will be okay.

We have to change… Internally and externally…

In order to carry more cosmic force and be of more service to ourselves and our beautiful blue planet, we need to grow up! look up! Allow our hearts to be lifted up for no good reason and celebrate!

What are we celebrating?

Change

And is there a scarier thing in the world?

Hawaii May7 2010

After five months of nurturing in Bali, I have returned to Hawaii, starting my new project.
Returned to long views and whistling trade winds… and the excitement of what I am planning to create here.

I am developing the Ocean View Creative Arts Festival Hawaii… the OVCA Festival…

My vision is to bring the powerful process I have experienced in Bali with the creation of the “Ogoh- Ogoh” and the way they absorb negative energy from the island of Bali annually.

…For more info on the Ogoh-Ogoh… please read “The Original Burning Man”

They are created by the village, and then burned after they have absorbed all the demonic energy floating around the island.
I want to bring this process here to Hawaii and teach the kids in Foster Care how to build these monsters from bamboo and Paper Mache so they can absorb all the demonic energy on the island. Especially the energy created and sustained by the use of the drugs like Meth which is sadly epidemic on the island of Hawaii.

This could be very powerful magic by the people for the people…

In the creation and then the burning of these effigies of darkness we can do a great service to the energy of the whole island chain.

There will be crystals on exhibition and for sale, art competitions and sale.
An “Earth Oven” baking bread, live music carried on the wind… good feelings all round.
Healing modalities of all sorts

A Sound healing Stage with Crystal Bowls, Flute, Chanting, Brass Bowls, Guided Meditations…
Renewable energy ideas showcased.  Alternative building materials and techniques displayed, recycling and zero carbon footprint intention…

Food stalls from all over the world, organics and honey, bee keeping workshops…
Stage for live theatrical pieces, Dance performance,  Poetry Out Loud performances,  Live music, guitars… perhaps a song writing competition? Gardening competitions throughout the district… tours of the winning gardens…

I have so many ideas I am going to burst, if there is anyone out there in my audience who has experience with such things or would like to come and spend time in Hawaii helping me get this together for August 2011 please do not hesitate to contact me and let me know how we can work together to make magic happen in Hawaii .

Balian March 2010

I’ve been away quite a while…seems like years… journeying with the White Rabbit…

At the end of the tunnel of darkness, I discovered I’d returned to the beginning once again…

Darrrh !!!

On the journey I explored my weakness, my illusions, my denial…

But still I arrived back at the beginning…  No great revelation, the simple truth…whether the banks are collapsing, the sky is caving in or the water on the earth is polluted…

Each of us is responsible for our own feelings.

We create our own feelings by the way that we perceive, we interpret, we see our experiences; shaped by the influences and experiences of our lives and the resulting sense of self.

Who am I and what am I worth in the grand scheme?

Am I important and why?
How do I fail myself… why do I get so disempowered?

It’s so simple I could choke!

I thought I already knew, but somehow I had forgotten…

I am released from the responsibility of meeting anyone’s emotional needs…

Everyone is responsible for their own feelings and reality.

I am not responsible for the feelings of others…

BUT… I am 100% responsible for my own feelings…

I will no longer be available for abuse… self inflicted or by invitation…
I will be free, to love unconditionally and creatively, to work with passion and celebration…

And then to rest, in the certain knowledge,

I am a child of Infinite Source (IS)…
I am a conduit of Light into the Earth,
I will fulfill my mission with Grace and Ease,
I am that!

Blessings for the Balinese New Year,
the Equinox and the beginning of the rest of your precious,
potentially potent, life on Earth!

During these past months I have been experiencing huge waves of grief, followed by new levels of awareness.

I am becoming more conscious of  in every way how much my parents love or lack of it created who I am today…

The universe abhors a void so every time something is removed or deemed ineffective or unworthy, something else of a higher frequency appears to replace it…

I had a vision the other night… it was 3am on my roof grid in the Balian Palace…
A vision of the universal polarity, between male and female…
A wild visual experience of expansion, contraction, enmeshment and liberation.

Vivid colors accompanied the images as I watched what seemed to be The Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine struggle through the erotic, outrageous dance of relationship… the journey to the bliss of integration…

I had a revelation of forgiveness.

How to free myself from the grinding process of humanization, forced upon me by my parents obvious (and some not so obvious) dysfunctions… Since I am not of this earth originally, I find the process of humanization daunting!

The integration process… a mystery…

Then I had a clear awakening.
It does not need to be a process of intellectual analysis… it can be a transpersonal experience beyond mind…
How to achieve this?

Ceremony and ritual…

Do it the way it has always been done… It’s worked for centuries…
Experience the marriage of the dark and the light, the male and the female…

Imbue the Ogoh – Ogoh with all the dysfunctional patterns of your parents…
Of yourself…
See them married and integrating in the ever Divine Ceremonial Dance of life death and rebirth…

Load them up with all the pain, frustration, rage, grief, disappointment, and resentment you can find inside you, then set the whole thing ablaze… on the river beach in the dark of night, at the perfect time for liberation!

This year in March leading up to the Equinox…
We are laying the groundwork for a new experience on Earth!
A new form of relationship that will clear the way for each of us to experience true love and devotion from a worthy partner….

If that is your ambition or your quest, I highly recommend this incredible event….

Nyepi 2010

Bali… a land of deep healing and infinite wisdom, ancient ceremonies support the evolution of modern mystics… Come and experience this for yourself…
You will not be disappointed!

Shankari the Alchemist is a master magician, trained in many traditions, she has worked with the priests of Bali for 22 years.

She has a deep understanding of the elemental powers and how to harness them in service to the healing and ‘enlightening’ of your Being.

Dance laugh and sing… long into the velvet night

Experience the integration of your child-self with your adult-self…

The integration of the positive and negative, the past and the future….

Within yourself and the greater cosmos…. Experience …Magic in action…

There is the extraordinary opportunity here… for 22 individuals… to learn and practice powerful magic for transformation…from a master teacher and practitioner of the arts.

Individuals who are willing to step forward and explore the mysterious terrain of personal alchemy….’The Alchemy of Enlightenment’ with Shankari, your humble servant in the dance….

All profit from this event will be used in the creation of the Sacred Dance Mystery School and Divine Mother Soup Kitchen, Big Island Hawaii…. Ah hui ho!

I have been in Bali for the last two months… it’s wonderful to be in such a nurturing environment….

It soothes the soul and reconnects the human spirit to the natural world.

I feel so blessed to be here and to feel the healing power of the earth… here in this spot, by the river, looking down to the sea.

When you arrive in Bali as a stranger you will be surprised how warm, happy and welcoming the people are…

They are genuinely loving and inclusive… how can this be so…. after centuries of slavery and mistreatment, by their own Maharajah’s, the Dutch plantation owners, the Japanese invaders and now the abusive Multi National Corporations?

I believe it’s because the Balinese have a secret.

As a culture (not Indonesia) the Balinese are truly the last Magicians on earth working in the old ways….

This is why we understand each other…. this is why it is such a healing environment for me…

Do you remember the Bali Bomb Attack?

One year, one month and one day after 9/11…. Manufactured by the same force as 9/11 for the same purpose…. to get the troops to Iraq… to protect the oil owned by some very greedy irresponsible individuals called corporations who have the power through control of the media to command governments…

After that bomb which killed 220 people and engaged 88 countries in a huge international interconnected healing process….

The Balinese Priests found in their ancient records a prophesy, about  just such a catastrophic event and a clear list of instructions for the priests on how to ‘space clear’ and ‘restart and heal the heart’ of the island!

It was transcribed six hundred years earlier, from a vision by a priestess while praying in the Temple high up on Batu Karo, the nearest volcanic mountain to the retreat center.

Yes that’s right! Bali is truly a land of organic magic.

The priests of the old land based religion found the instructions for the ceremonies to be performed to restart the heart of the island…

Everyone joined in….. for months large groups of men clad in black shirts and a black and white checked sarongs (the black and white checked sarongs representing the integration of the dark and the light,)  walked the back streets of villages with big wooden bells on their chests, holding them with both hands, in unison they would shake the bell and make the sound of an enormous heart beat that traveled out over the land through the villages, the rice fields, the coconut plantations and down through the rivers onto the beaches….

The sound seemed to reactivate all parts of the island….

It was a truly thrilling experience, to be in the midst of such single minded devotion to the energetic health of mother earth, ‘Dewi Sri’ in Balinese.

As an active alchemist and ritual magician I was fascinated by the highly organized ceremonies prepared and carried out in a rolling fashion across the island… by a cultural system dedicated to the energetic health of their land and the inner health and harmony of their people.  Such love and devotion with no promotion or advertising or resistance was amazing to watch…..

How do the people of Bali stay so calm and so clearly happy despite being enslaved and abused in all manner of ways for centuries?

There are perhaps a variety of answers to this question….

One of their secrets,  is they have developed annual space clearing rituals as a context for whole communities to express their creativity coupled with rage and fear appropriately… rather than in petty ways, against each other and more importantly they wisely created ‘time’ to integrate the outcome…. A change in frequency… How amazing is that!?

The time of year they chose to perform this profound social ritual for peace by expressing creative rage aligns with Easter in the Christian experience, the Passover for the Jewish community, it includes the ideas of the Wicker Man and in more recent times the modern American Mystics of ‘Burning Man’…. in US underground culture.

The rule is … if you don’t let loose once a year, your negative energy will overcome you and disturb the harmony of the village…
Now we all know that’s true!

I have been thinking about this for a while and now I am going to do something about it!

I’m going to stop trying so hard and relax, play, dance, sing and swim in the sacred dance of ceremonial life in Bali for ten days….

We get to build two giant size bamboo puppets from all local materials. They are known as ‘The Ogoh Ogoh’ (literal translation ‘more than one Ogre’). The night of the burning…. On the river beach…. We get to scream and rage with the village and set them on fire…..

By the end of the “Night of Fires”, ‘The Ogoh Ogoh’ have finished their important work… they are a cosmic sponge for all forms of evil, all forms of disharmony in the body, mind and spirit of communities and the individuals.

Join me… let’s find out what we can do together…
Nyepi 2010… read all about the workshop, what we will be doing and how to join in here…

I’m ready to have fun, play and create with my soul family, I’m ready to express my feelings and find a new level of inner peace on the day of silence… are you interested?

There is a sub conscious phenomenon currently occurring on a planetary level…
It is shaping the activities of millions of people on earth.
What is it?

As I am sure you are aware, humans live in a polarized world, swinging from one extreme to the other in the constant search for meaning and purpose to our life here on earth.

We are pretty smart as a race.
We have mastered so many aspects within our physical world that we have begun to think of ourselves in a new way.
I believe it is a kind of cosmic conspiracy that has brought us to this situation…

One minute we were powerless, uneducated peasants…
The next we have access to the world through the internet.
Consequently we have developed a kind of NARCISSISM which has us saving the planet and the next moment…

Confronted with the truth of our powerlessness we are overcome with INERTIA…
Confronted with the reality of our circumstances we go into overwhelm and despair…
Soon after we swing back into saving the world….
I have this experience myself….

I have recently spoken to many who have a similar pattern…..
It comes back to self love (even if you are powerless and ‘wrong’ and Surrender…. Surrender to the Divine Plan with TRUST in the process.

The Divine needs our support, but not our ‘advice’ on how it ’should’ be done!….
I am exploring my own emotional and mental…. Spiritual and Physical responses….
How are you experiencing this phenomena?

In Hawaii we celebrated the full moon…
The moon was aloft in the black velvet, cloudless sky.
The wind had dropped completely, in the stillness we could hear the roar of silence!
(The sound of the blood rushing past your eardrums)…
We were four women…
Representing mixed races of all ages… the child, the young woman, the mother, and the grandmother…

The power of The Divine Feminine…
We were greeted by Pele the Goddess of the Volcano and given the gift of clear sight….
We called all the elemental and angelic energies to align with the people healing and rebuilding in Samoa, The Philippines and Indonesia… the  Tsunami spirit has been hard at work tearing apart their world…. Preparing them for  re-creation….

In the process there is a lot of pain and displacement.
I wanted to use this powerful Moon in Taurus to carry hope into the hearts of those who feel abandoned…

From 2000 feet up the Volcano we sent this prayer out.
Focusing our intention for expanded love through the center of the Vortex in our earth grid then rippling across the oceans and entering all dark places on earth, in search of those sisters and brothers  in need of hope and light through the darkness of despair that follows such huge natural disasters…
This is the core of the meditation…

“Where there is despair
Let there be Trust in Divine Intent
Where there is chaos
Let there be evidence of Divine Order
Where there is darkness,
Let there be Light.
Where there is anger,
Let there be Peace.
Where there is sadness,
Let there be joy.

May this prayer filled with clear intent reverberate across the skies and touch all those in need with the Love of The Divine Mother.
So Be It… And it is So…

This is the core of  our communal prayer.
I felt it flow from our circle of women…
Servants of the Divine Goddess of All Creation ….
Out into the Islands then across the oceans and into every dark place on earth….
Let me know if you felt a shift of any sort!

I am so grateful for the opportunity to connect with all of you and experience  our family of Light expanding across the planet and through dimensions.

The topic of health within our modern society seems to me to be upside down.
There was a time in ancient China when everyone within a community would contribute to the wealth and well being of the local doctor for as long as people were well.

As soon as someone became ill the income for the doctor ceased until everyone was healthy again!
Of course in our society it works in reverse.

The sicker the community becomes, the more wealth is accumulated by the drug companies and people who work in the medical profession.

I believe in a healthy diet with very limited animal proteins because I know that it is overloading our bodies with proteins we cannot use and do not need, creating the fertile ground for cancer cells to flourish, especially if I am indolent and have large areas of my body that never become oxygenated!
I know to watch for signs of dehydration…
When I sneeze I know it’s time to put on a jacket.
I know that if I begin to get a stuffy nose all I need to do is raise my body temperature until I sweat and it will disappear completely.
I know how to look after myself, I do not expect anyone else to do that for me.

No disease or pain can exist within the physical body without first existing in the emotional body.
So guard your emotional body well.
Have many tools at your disposal to engage your whole self in pursuits that bring you joy!
You will end up where you aim your attention.
Your health must be in your hands.
Stay conscious.

The current system is like a snake eating it’s tail.
Step outside the whole dance.
Become your own best remedy and your own informed healer.

Louise Hay wrote a book many years ago called “You Can Heal Your Life” …
It had a rainbow on the front cover.
Within this small paperback book was a list of illnesses and the emotional field that they carried.

The Liver is the organ that carries our anger… do you see that we live in an angry world, where everyday even the food we eat to bring us comfort and sustenance is sabotaged and we are left feeling just slightly angry and most likely suffering from indigestion!

Like the ads for peptobismol…

Eat as much food that actually makes you sick, then drink this chemical and it will push it all through very quickly while artificially neutralizing the acid caused by the horrendous combination of things you have forced into your stomach.

The stomach is the first brain!
That’s right! As in a gut feeling?

What you eat is what gives you your brain power and your emotional balance.
If you eat a well balanced meal you will have a well balanced day, or evening…
If you eat a whole lot of indigestible almost plastic food and blast it through with a chemical like a human “Drain-o”, what do you expect your brain and emotional body to feed on?

You have just had a big meal but you have not actually fed yourself!

Now… This is when you create arguments and get into all sorts of trouble, because your ‘victim’ reality comes up…  sure you are being mistreated or misunderstood in some way that matches a pattern from your childhood and your focus becomes stuck.
Not on the road ahead and all your future dreams and possibilities, but rather on lack and limitation and how unfair everything is….
At this point… EAT SOMETHING NUTRITIOUS… and GET OVER IT!… FAST!

There is not a minute to waste on negative thinking of any sort! Our journey is up to us…

Our health along the journey is up to us!
No matter what your condition it is never too late to try something new!
Change the way you think!
Think up not down!
Think big, not small… think INCLUSIVE… rather than exclusive!

Just agreeing to fake a smile can change your brain frequency into a higher more spacious vibration…

There is magic everywhere and in everyone.
You have the power to keep yourself well.
It is a choice!
Read the labels,
Know what your body needs.
Listen carefully to what your body tells you and act consciously to create balance.
Balance is a matter of conscious choice.
Keep your spine flexible and your mind agile.
Take care of your spirit, through art or music or some form of creative expression… of course you do not have to limit your pursuits to one…

I play the flute, the Moroccan drum called a Darabuka, I love to sing, chant in Sanskrit, In Hebrew, and I am learning how to chant in Hawaiian now.
I also create mosaics, draw, write and garden… all these things keep me healthy in my body, mind and spirit, so I can enjoy my work and be creative with my vision of the future…

Health is first a state of mind and second a lifestyle choice…
Make a choice to step outside the circle of the snake eating it’s tail…
You have great power to learn understand and heal yourself…
It’s up to you to do this… the alternative is that you live your life as a cash cow for the drug companies who get richer and richer with each new disease… You will be amazed how wise you really are at a soul level!

Pray…
Meditate…
Love with an open heart, give service to others freely.
Remember you are abundant and beloved of the Goddess of All Creation…
Bring forward your higher self and ask your body for the truth… then be still and listen.

I have been away from Hawaii for months…
I have a lot of diverse interests and responsibilities.

On my return to the islands I went up to Orchid Parkway for a quick look, to see if everything had survived my absence, before I collapsed into my need for rest.

I was completely jet lagged and a little delirious from exhaustion that first afternoon as I scurried from the fig tree to the orange trees, Loquat, Avocados and the corn — it was waste high in the center of the first sacred circle I have built on the property… all was well.

I went on down the hill, home to my place, to finally have a good rest.

Today I finally returned to begin to work once more on my vision for a sacred garden and a soup kitchen set up in service to the local community.
When I arrived, I was astounded to discover that while I have been traveling and agonizing over the fate of the world… the sweet corn was growing! This is a miracle!

The corn is growing in about 3 inches of earth on a lava slab in the desert of Ka’u County Hawaii.
This doesn’t sound amazing but think of the miracle that happens every time you plant a seed of any sort!

The sweet corn is laden with ‘ears’ — which is an interesting metaphor under the circumstances… and these ears are as sweet as you have ever tasted!

Metaphorically the work of feeding the community has already begun… the builders told me they have been happily eating from the source since I have been gone… in service to the community… does mean everyone!

I am sooo excited by the project… and willing to share the dream with whoever comes my way and wants to contribute with love and compassion… I have a dream that the soup we make will be the most delicious and healing soup in the world!

The corn, the figs, the tomatoes… there is evidence I have already enrolled help from the Fairy Kingdom and the Angelic realm… miracles appear every day…

Perhaps you will be my next miracle?

If there is anyone out there who would like to join in the fun please contact Lily here in the Hawaii office at 808 929 7564 or send an email to feedtheworld@shankari.com

I will be happy to do work trade if you want to holiday in Hawaii at the Mystery School and use the gifts and skills God gave you, in service to the greater good… beyond religious persuasion, come along and have some fun with us as we execute a green revolution.

Anyone skilled in perma culture gardening techniques is very warmly welcomed…
I am tired of doing it alone and it’s time to stand up and ask for help.
Please help me… there I have said it!

Love and blessings

Wow…
Doesn’t time just fly by?!
It seems it was only yesterday we were celebrating the Spring Equinox.

This is a very potent time of year because it’s when the energy of nature has reached a pivot point of equilibrium… Night and day are the same length and after that moment the energy begins to recede once again.

It’s a solar event…

The moment when day’s journey reaches the moment of equality with the night…
It’s a marriage of equal yet opposite energy….
A time of change and integration…

Lately I find that I have become a burden unto myself as my fear of the future has made me blind.

Now I understand!

To be blind is to be forced to begin to use your other senses.
To awaken to the whole of yourself and not to focus on the small part that lives in fear of lack.

I am ready…

As I sit here in my garden in Hawaii… it is such a beautiful evening.
I can feel the energy of the Goddess lifting me up…
The stars are so bright I feel inclined to sing to them!
With my imagination I stretch out my hand, take a few and pop then into my mouth.

As I swallow, I actually feel a sparkling effervescence inside traveling down my body and through every cell.
I am filled with stellar energy and ready for the next step…
The equinox when used properly can support your life into great change…

The autumn equinox leads into winter so it is a time where you are naturally contracting and taking stock of your stores for the winter ahead.
A time of preparation for hibernation…
But not forever…
In only six months time everything will change to the reverse position and the energy is awakening and preparing for the joyous nature of summer.
I will be in Bali!

My students and I will have made monsters — Ogoh-Ogohs from bamboo, leaves and jeweled paper…
We will dance in the streets with them… attracting the negative energy that surrounds us, carrying it in a theatrical procession followed by the members of the whole village and what seems to be a hundred screaming children… to the river’s beach… their faces alive with anticipation and adrenaline…

When we reach the bank of the river the monsters will be burned down in preparation for the day of complete silence that follows…
Nyepi, a sacred event in Bali.
An experience of a lifetime…
The whole island of Bali goes into silence so that they can clear the energy in preparation for the year ahead in gratitude for all the blessings already received.

Come and join me in Bali for the next equinox…
Pray with me and be cleansed by the sacred waters of the crocodile temple…
Meet the wonderful old women that are the priests of this amazing jungle temple and ancient sacred space.
In the coming weeks I will be sharing more information about how you can participate and prepare yourself for the coming journey.

The equinox…
Such a great inspiration!
With mother nature, nothing ever stays the same because to be alive we will always experience the OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE…
Use it wisely!
How are YOU going? Are you feeling inspired?
Have you found some solutions? How can I help?

Blazing tales of wonder remembering all we have ever been and are about to become.
