			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Balian March 2010</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been away quite a while…seems like years… journeying with the White Rabbit&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-right: 25px; margin-left: 25px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 1px solid black;" title="Shankari the Alchemist" src="http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu202/ShankariVision/Shankari/IMG_3942.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="340" />At the end of the tunnel of darkness, I discovered I’d returned to the beginning once again…</p>
<p>Darrrh !!!</p>
<p>On the journey I explored my weakness, my illusions, my denial…</p>
<p>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&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Each of us is responsible for our own feelings.</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Who am I and what am I worth in the grand scheme?</p>
<p>Am I important and why?<br />
How do I fail myself&#8230; why do I get so disempowered?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so simple I could choke!<img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px 25px;" title="Shankari in Bangli" src="http://i648.photobucket.com/albums/uu202/ShankariVision/Shankari/IMG_3992.jpg" alt="" width="327" height="500" /></p>
<p>I thought I already knew, but somehow I had forgotten&#8230;</p>
<p>I am released from the responsibility of meeting anyone’s emotional needs…</p>
<p>Everyone is responsible for their own feelings and reality.</p>
<p><strong>I am not responsible for the feelings of others…</strong></p>
<p>BUT… I am 100% responsible for my own feelings…</p>
<p>I will no longer be available for abuse… self inflicted or by invitation…<br />
I will be free, to love unconditionally and creatively, to work with passion and celebration…</p>
<p>And then to rest, in the certain knowledge,</p>
<p>I am a child of Infinite Source (IS)…<br />
I am a conduit of Light into the Earth,<br />
I will fulfill my mission with Grace and Ease,<br />
I am that!</p>
<p>Blessings for the Balinese New Year,<br />
the Equinox and the beginning of the rest of your precious,<br />
potentially potent, life on Earth!<br />
S xxx</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a sub conscious phenomenon currently occurring on a planetary level&#8230;<br />
It is shaping the activities of millions of people on earth.<br />
<strong><a href="www.shankari.com/jewelry" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 10px 25px;" title="Shankari" src="http://www.shankarithealchemist.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/logo_talismans-23278.gif" alt="" width="250" height="148" /></a>What is it?</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>We are pretty smart as a race.<br />
We have mastered so many aspects within our physical world that we have begun to think of ourselves in a new way.<br />
I believe it is a kind of cosmic conspiracy that has brought us to this situation&#8230;</p>
<p>One minute we were powerless, uneducated peasants&#8230;<br />
The next we have access to the world through the internet.<br />
Consequently we have developed a kind of NARCISSISM which has us saving the planet and the next moment&#8230;</p>
<p>Confronted with the truth of our powerlessness we are overcome with INERTIA&#8230;<br />
Confronted with the reality of our circumstances we go into overwhelm and despair&#8230;<br />
Soon after we swing back into saving the world&#8230;.<br />
I have this experience myself&#8230;.</p>
<p>I have recently spoken to many who have a similar pattern&#8230;..<br />
It comes back to self love (even if you are powerless and &#8216;wrong&#8217; and Surrender&#8230;. Surrender to the Divine Plan with <strong>TRUST in the process.</strong></p>
<p>The Divine needs our support, but not our &#8216;advice&#8217; on how it &#8217;should&#8217; be done!&#8230;.<br />
I am exploring my own emotional and mental&#8230;. Spiritual and Physical responses&#8230;.<br />
How are you experiencing this phenomena?<a href="http://www.shankari.com/catalog/spiritualstrengthmanifestationpendantvi-p-338.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" title="Spiritual Strength" src="http://www.shankari.com/catalog/images/jewelry/23300-8MG-4-8.-a.jpg" alt="" width="270" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>In Hawaii we celebrated the full moon&#8230;<br />
The moon was aloft in the black velvet, cloudless sky.<br />
The wind had dropped completely, in the stillness we could hear the roar of silence!<br />
(The sound of the blood rushing past your eardrums)&#8230;<br />
We were four women&#8230;<br />
Representing mixed races of all ages&#8230; the child, the young woman, the mother, and the grandmother&#8230;</p>
<p>The power of The Divine Feminine&#8230;<br />
We were greeted by Pele the Goddess of the Volcano and given the gift of clear sight&#8230;.<br />
We called all the elemental and angelic energies to align with the people healing and rebuilding in Samoa, The Philippines and Indonesia&#8230; the  Tsunami spirit has been hard at work tearing apart their world&#8230;. Preparing them for  re-creation&#8230;.</p>
<p>In the process there is a lot of pain and displacement.<br />
I wanted to use this powerful Moon in Taurus to carry hope into the hearts of those who feel abandoned&#8230;</p>
<p>From 2000 feet up the Volcano we sent this prayer out.<br />
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&#8230;<br />
This is the core of the meditation&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Where there is despair<br />
Let there be Trust in Divine Intent<br />
Where there is chaos<br />
Let there be evidence of Divine Order<br />
Where there is darkness,<br />
Let there be Light.<br />
Where there is anger,<br />
Let there be Peace.<br />
Where there is sadness,<br />
Let there be joy.</p>
<p>May this prayer filled with clear intent reverberate across the skies and touch all those in need with the Love of The Divine Mother.<br />
So Be It&#8230; And it is So&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>This is the core of  our communal prayer.<br />
I felt it flow from our circle of women&#8230;<br />
Servants of the Divine Goddess of All Creation &#8230;.<br />
Out into the Islands then across the oceans and into every dark place on earth&#8230;.<br />
<strong>Let me know if you felt a shift of any sort!</strong></p>
<p>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.<br />
<span>Blazing</span> <span>tales</span> of wonder,<br />
Remembering all we have ever been and are about to become&#8230;&#8230; S xxx</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The topic of health within our modern society seems to me to be upside down.<br />
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.</p>
<p><a href="http://workshops.shankari.com/upcoming-events/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 10px 25px;" title="Power of Breath" src="http://workshops.shankari.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/pob-logo.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></a>As soon as someone became ill the income for the doctor ceased until everyone was healthy again!<br />
Of course in our society it works in <strong>reverse</strong>.</p>
<p>The sicker the community becomes, the more wealth is accumulated by the drug companies and people who work in the medical profession.</p>
<p>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!<br />
I know to watch for signs of dehydration&#8230;<br />
When I sneeze I know it’s time to put on a jacket.<br />
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.<br />
I know how to look after myself, I do not expect anyone else to do that for me.</p>
<p>No disease or pain can exist within the physical body without first existing in the emotional body.<br />
So guard your emotional body well.<br />
Have many tools at your disposal to engage your whole self in pursuits that bring you joy!<br />
You will end up where you aim your attention.<br />
Your health must be in your hands.<br />
<strong>Stay conscious. </strong></p>
<p>The current system is like a snake eating it’s tail.<br />
Step outside the whole dance.<br />
Become your own best remedy and your own informed healer.</p>
<p>Louise Hay wrote a book many years ago called “You Can Heal Your Life” …<br />
It had a rainbow on the front cover.<br />
Within this small paperback book was a list of illnesses and the emotional field that they carried.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>Like the ads for peptobismol&#8230;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The stomach is the first brain!<br />
That’s right! As in a gut feeling?</p>
<p>What you eat is what gives you your brain power and your emotional balance.<br />
If you eat a well balanced meal you will have a well balanced day, or evening…<br />
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?</p>
<p>You have just had a big meal but you have not actually fed yourself!<a href="http://www.shankari.com/catalog/flightofthebutterflypendanti-p-975.html?zenid=4f49eaa77ba4ef248c2784caddba81a8" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" title="Flight of the Butterfly" src="http://www.shankari.com/catalog/images/jewelry/26300-8-7-8.jpg" alt="" width="370" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>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.<br />
Not on the road ahead and all your future dreams and possibilities, but rather on lack and limitation and how unfair everything is….<br />
At this point… EAT SOMETHING NUTRITIOUS&#8230; and GET OVER IT!&#8230; FAST!</p>
<p>There is not a minute to waste on negative thinking of any sort! <strong>Our journey is up to us…</strong></p>
<p>Our health along the journey is up to us!<br />
No matter what your condition it is never too late to try something new!<br />
Change the way you think!<br />
Think up not down!<br />
Think big, not small… think INCLUSIVE… rather than exclusive!</p>
<p>Just agreeing to fake a smile can change your brain frequency into a higher more spacious vibration…</p>
<p>There is magic everywhere and in everyone.<br />
<strong>You have the power to keep yourself well.</strong><br />
It is a choice!<br />
Read the labels,<br />
Know what your body needs.<br />
Listen carefully to what your body tells you and act consciously to create balance.<br />
<strong>Balance is a matter of conscious choice</strong>.<br />
Keep your spine flexible and your mind agile.<br />
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…</p>
<p>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.<br />
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…</p>
<p>Health is first a state of mind and second a lifestyle choice…<br />
Make a choice to step outside the circle of the snake eating it’s tail…<br />
You have great power to learn understand and heal yourself…<br />
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!</p>
<blockquote><p>Pray&#8230;<br />
Meditate&#8230;<br />
Love with an open heart, give service to others freely.<br />
Remember you are abundant and beloved of the Goddess of All Creation…<br />
Bring forward your higher self and ask your body for the truth… then be still and listen.</p></blockquote>
<p>Blazing tales of wonder remembering all we have ever been and are about to become…<br />
Your sister through chaos and comfort…<br />
