I had one of those moments yesterday when I broke the rules!
The rule in question is the one about not offering help unless you are invited!

It’s a very hard thing to do and it takes great discipline… To wait to be asked.
Especially if you feel love and concern for your fellow travelers on the journey of life.

Yesterday I blew it!

I walked up to a woman who was in serious emotional pain…
Her forehead was creased and scrunched as she said to me, “I don’t know what you are talking about… I am not angry or hurt…. Just a little sad! ”

She was furious with God… it was so obvious… if it had been a dog it would have bit me!
I quickly apologized for my mistake and agreed with her world view…
Stepping away quickly…
I was ashamed!

Have I learned nothing?
Am I so ignorant and foolish still? Apparently so!

She had good reason to be suffering.
She and her family are Christian Missionaries. I met them at a church meeting in Chiang Mai Thailand. Her husband had been kidnapped by Moslems in Pakistan.

He had been released only a week earlier….
Her husbands kidneys were exhausted and it showed in the dark rings under his eyes.
He was warm and obviously good at his job.

He was willing and interested when I suggested his adrenal system was exhausted and he needed support for his kidney function before he went out to fight that good fight one more time!

He was happy for the info… but his wife lives on that river in Egypt…De. Nile…

And I did not handle my own energy with enough reserve to be of genuine support to her.

I needed to ask her first if she would like my help and humbly accept her answer….

My heart goes out to everyone in dark emotional places because I have been there myself so often…

There is always light and dark….
Our job as genuine light workers is to respect the balance and be of true service to others from a place of genuine compassion and non judgment…

Blazing tales of wonder….. Still learning how to use my energy wisely….
To be continued…

Hi everyone, how are things in your life?
As far as I can tell, everyone I know is seriously challenged.

There is a lot of talk about ‘recovery’ and ‘investment packages’ by the governments of the world.

But is that really what we want?

For it to go back to how it was?… as a global culture over the last fifty years we have been using up natural resources at an astronomical rate!
That’s what’s really happening.

We have come to a point of global reckoning …
I believe that’s what’s reflected from this economic meltdown… We would not change our ways unless we hit the wall like this as a planet!  Unless you are ready to join the military, there may be no job security in the future….yikes!

And the promotion for the military is all over the media….
It’s a new world — forcing us all into a new perception and that’s not such a bad thing.

It’s time to give up the idea of redundant, disposable living!

That’s a way of seeing resources as endless,  so there is no need to be conservative or respectful of  those you are using. This is a frequency of being that has permeated our world to the extent that we do this to our old people as much as our old cars….

We live in a world dedicated to obsolescence in order to stimulate industry and we cannot keep doing this anymore!

My jewelry falls into the category of a luxury item, however I would like you to know we make our jewelry in very conservative, respectful way.

We are very conscious of our carbon footprint and I am proud of my team for their loving, caring energy that goes into every part of the production and distribution of my pieces.

Each piece is designed to rejuvenate your energy, inspire your spirit and remind you in hard times that you are really a Queen or King in service to your people.

Every conscious person on earth has to be diligent. We have all been lulled into the idea of comfort and convenience being our primary agenda when life is so much more.

Life must be full of other things like  passion, creativity, adventure, evolution…

None of these pursuits are particularly comfortable or convenient but they are the essence of a healthy life.

Perhaps this is why people are so depressed?
They are comfortable and isolated…

Unsupported in their creativity or in expressing their passionate soul.

My jewelry is an activator…
Designed to support you through these difficult days.

I love you and I believe in you… As I believe in myself and our common destiny as healers of the earth.

I am proud to be part of the generation that will usher in a new world consciousness of love and respect for our beloved Mother Earth.

Blazing tales of wonder remembering all we have ever been and are about to become your sister through chaos and comfort…

We live in a world of paradox…

To be or not to be a Valentine… ?

Question: Who was Valentino?

Answer: A wild passionate (apparently pretty sociopathic) Italian lover with no qualms’ about home wrecking or the deflowering of virgins… wow…so that’s who I want to be nominated by on Valentines Day?
I don’t think so…

In this new millennium we have the power to research the origin of ideas and then observe their evolution within our culture.

As I observe the changes with regard to Valentine’s Day, it is now the celebration where we have the power to make someone else in our life feel valued… or perhaps we have the courage to validate and value ourselves .

Think for a moment about the word Valentine.
Within it the first syllable ‘Val’….  connects this word  ‘Valentine’ to other words such as Value, Validate, Valiant, they are all words that infer the quality of  ‘worth’.

Mostly we come from an entrenched culture that forces people into boxes.
Boxes for their minds, (public schools) other boxes for their bodies (fashion) and others still for their spirit (organized religion by any name) all these boxes are ways we deal with the infinite possibilities and overwhelming challenges we face daily.

Within the context of this violently competitive world culture we are trying desperately to find ourselves, our self worth, our purpose… or at the very least some form of meaning and ‘value’ inherent in our human life and earthly love.

The point many of us miss in our flurry for success and ‘validation’ in the eyes of others is that there is no force on earth more powerful than love. And no love more important than the unconditional love of the ’self’.’

Once we are passionately in love with ourselves it is easy to love others because we are already filled up with love that indeed begins to overflow onto others and into our environment.

Am I talking about ego-maniacs? Not at all. There is a big difference between self love and self aggrandizement… we all know people like that. People who spend their time convincing the world around them that they are so great in an effort to cover up their insecurity; and perhaps convince themselves.

These people have little to show for all their hot air and do not like scrutiny.  When push comes to shove they are empty inside and afraid to be truly heard or seen for fear of the judgment of others.

When we really love ourselves we take time for good rest, we feed our bodies good food, we exercise and breathe with confidence. In so doing we are giving our brain the best fuel for positive, creative thinking processes and dismissing the danger of imbalance.

Love crosses all boundaries, overcomes all obstacles and melts away all disillusionment… if we have the grace and the courage to protect our “power to love” and sustain our relationship with the loving part of ourselves we will ultimately succeed no matter what the obstacles are because we are aligning with Divine Intent Super OMG Special Divine Order; which is indeed a manifestation of Divine Love in action.

As we enter the time known for love I wish each of you a very happy Valentines Day filled with loving surprises and nurturing experiences. May the love from our own hearts shine out into the world and be a healing force upon the earth. Blessings from Shankari the Alchemist Hawaii feb 2009.
