MEDITATION & THOUGHTS

Full Moon Meditation

Meditation for the Full Moon on 24th August   

Find a quiet place where you will be undisturbed, and if possible somewhere out in the moonlight or where the moon is in your view.  Breathe deeply and relax.  

On your out-breath, feel your body relaxing, and on the in-breath, visualise breathing in the pure and magical light of the moon with it filling up the whole of your being.

Take a deep breath and visualise standing inside the room where we are now.  In the northern direction is Sananda, in the southern direction Mary Magdalene, in the eastern direction Lady Gaia and in the western direction the Goddess Lakshmi.  Together they form a circle and activate a portal of light around you.  Today is indeed a celebration of the full moon and also a celebration for you to acknowledge the Goddess within.

Mary Magdalene steps into the centre of your circle.  She has in her hand her Sceptre of Power. You bow before her and she points her Sceptre towards your Crown Chakra……………. An energy moves into your Crown, and at this point you will feel the Pineal Gland activated in an explosion of Light and Love,……… this feeling moves from the top of your head to the bottoms of your feet………….  Now Silver stars begin to pour from her hands as she lifts them; the Silver is to balance the Feminine Energies and reawaken the Goddess energy within you………………….  The Silver becomes waist high as you feel the Feminine Energies begin to balance and feel your heart open……………….  Then the Silver mound grows to cover your head and fill the room as the Feminine Energies are balanced.  Mary Magdalene places a symbol of femininity into your heart to activate this centre.  You thank her and she moves from the circle.

Sananda steps forward into the middle of your room.  As he steps forward a Golden energy begins to pour from his hands as he lifts them above his head; the Gold is to bring the Christ consciousness energy into your body as well as a balancing of the Masculine Energies.  The Gold Vibration becomes waist high as you feel your Masculine Energies begin to balance and feel your connection to all that is ………….  Then the Gold mound grows to cover your head as the Masculine Energies are balanced and your cells are filled with the Gold Ray of Christ Consciousness…………………. You are given a symbol by Sananda and he places it in your heart centre.  He has a special message for you ……….  As we enter through the 11/11 portal, we have an opportunity to be lifted through this Christ Consciousness frequency to connect with our Christed Overselves of the Light,………………the Highest Light of Who We Are ……… as well as be imprinted with a deeper level of our Service work………………….  In particular, the Order of Melchizedek is activating those Soul groups that have previously assisted in Atlantis and ancient Egypt, to be available for the shift in December 2012.  

This message will assist you with your divine mission.  As you thank him he moves from the circle.   

The two colours gold and silver start to spin in a circular movement and the two form a spiral within the room and your body as they ignite your DNA.  All is now in perfect balance.

 

The Goddess Lakshmi now steps forward with her blessing for you………….  She is the Goddess of Abundance for both Spiritual  and  Material  attainments …………….   She steps into the circle with her Totem Animal, the powerful Elephant, the symbol of spiritual growth and attainment………….
Emeralds begin to pour from her hands as she lifts them ……………….  Emeralds which carry the energies of Healing and Abundance……………. The Emeralds become waist high as they fill the room and you feel the clean healing energies………………. Finally, the Emeralds fill the room and cover your entire body satiating you as well as the room in these energies………….  Lakshmi pours gold coins and symbols of healing into your aura ……………….  Thank her and she moves out of the circle.

Mother Gaia now steps forward to bless you ……….  She places her left hand on your Heart Chakra…………….  It begins to pulse with a Pink Light of Peace and Harmony that is emanating from her body………………….  Feel the pulse as it unites with your heart beat and the cosmic heartbeat of the planet.  The whole room is filled with the heartbeat of Mother Gaia and this continues even after she removes her hand………………….  She now lifts her hands and Rubies begin to pour from them ………………… …….  Rubies have the energies of Life Force and grounding and will assist us in activating our connectedness with our Mother Gaia …………………. The Rubies fill the room and become waist high as you feel the power of the Cosmic Life Force returning to you and feel your heart and that of Mother Gaia beating as one……………….  Finally, the Rubies cover the entire room, satiating you in these energies………………….  Mother Gaia places her left hand on your Heart Chakra once more and ignites your own personal song, connecting you to her and in turn to everyone on this planet…………….  Thank her and she moves out of the circle.   

Mary Magdalene, Sananda, Lakshmi and Mother Gaia now all lift their arms and focus on the middle of the room.  They bless you in the full moon energy and a beautiful rose starts to manifest.  The petals are opening.   Allow your being to open to the Rose of Cosmic Consciousness.
This is a gift to you - they say.
 

You are the Dancer and life is the dance

 

You are the Music  

You are the Artist, Creator and Weaver!

 

When you weave with the Conscious Intention to follow Divine Harmony as it flows,  you become One with the Divine Dance of Love …………. And soon, everyone is moving in alignment…………….  Everyone is dancing the dance of Love that is called Peace.

They bid you farewell with this message.    

As you come back to your body, open your eyes and be aware of the beautiful balancing and gifts you have just received.

A Shay Day  

Two Choices 

What would you do?....you make the choice. Don't look for a punch line, there isn't one. Read it anyway. My question is: Would you have made the same choice?

At a fundraising dinner for a school that serves children with learning disabilities, the father of one of the students delivered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its
dedicated staff, he offered a question: 

 

'When not interfered with by outside influences, everything nature does, is done with perfection.
Yet my son, Shay, cannot learn things as other children do. He cannot understand things as other children do.
 
 

Where is the natural order of things in my son?'
 
The audience was stilled by the query.

The father continued. 'I believe that when a child like Shay, who was mentally and physically disabled comes into the world, an opportunity to realize true human nature presents itself, and it comes in the way other people treat that child.'
 
 

Then he told the following story:

Shay and I had walked past a park where some boys Shay knew were playing baseball. Shay asked, 'Do you think they'll let me play?' I knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but as a father I also understood that if my son were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence to be accepted by others in spite of his handicaps.
 
I approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. The boy looked around for guidance and said, 'We're losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and we'll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.'
  
Shay struggled over to the team's bench and, with a broad smile, put on a team shirt. I watched with a small tear in my eye and warmth in my heart. The boys saw my joy at my son being accepted.
 
 In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shay's team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.
 
 In the top of the ninth inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the right field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously ecstatic just to be in the game and on the field, grinning from ear to ear as I waved to him from the stands.
 
 In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shay's team scored again.
 
 Now, with two outs and the bases loaded, the potential winning run was on base and Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.
  
At this juncture, do they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?
 
Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat.. Everyone knew that a hit was all but impossible because Shay didn't even know how to hold the bat properly, much less connect with the ball.
 
However, as Shay stepped up to the
plate the pitcher, recognizing that the other team was putting winning aside for this moment in Shay's life, moved in a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shay could at least make contact.
 
 The first pitch came and Shay swung clumsily and missed.
 
 The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly towards Shay.

As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.

 The game would now be over.
 
 The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could have easily thrown the ball to the first baseman.
 Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.
 Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the first baseman's head, out of reach of all team mates.
 
 Everyone from the stands and both teams started yelling, 'Shay, run to first!
 Run to first!'
 
 Never in his life had Shay ever run that far, but he made it to first base.
 
 He scampered down the baseline, wide-eyed and startled.
 Everyone yelled, 'Run to second, run to second!'
Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second, gleaming and struggling to make it to the base.
 
By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the right fielder had the ball . the smallest guy on their team who now had his
f
irst chance to be the hero for his team.
 He could have thrown the ball to the second-baseman for the tag, but he understood the pitcher's intentions so he, too,
I
ntentionally threw the ball high and far over the third-baseman's head.
 
 Shay ran toward third base deliriously as the runners ahead of him circled the bases toward home.
 
 All were screaming, 'Shay, Shay, Shay, all the Way Shay'

Shay reached third base because the opposing shortstop ran to help him by turning him in the direction of third base, and shouted, 'Run to third!
 Shay, run to third!'
 As Shay rounded third, the boys from both teams, and the spectators, were on their feet screaming, 'Shay, run home! Run home!'
 Shay ran to home, stepped on the plate, and was cheered as the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team
 
 'That day', said the father softly with tears now rolling down his face, 'the boys from both teams helped bring a piece of true love and humanity into this world'.
 
 Shay didn't make it to another summer. He died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making me so happy, and coming home and seeing his Mother tearfully embrace her little hero of the day!
 
 A wise man once said every society is judged by how it treats it's least fortunate amongst them.

Book review  

Each month I will tell you about a book I have read. This month the book I recommend is The Whispering Souls by Betty Cosgrave. The ISBN number is 978-0-9562461-0-3. I recommend that you ask your local library to get this book for you that way other people will have an opportunity to read this book.

The Gentle Art of Blessing by Pierre Pradervand

ISBN: 0-9549326-0-9

The book I recommend this month is The Gentle Art of Blessing by Pierre Pradervand. It is available to purchase in any good bookshop but I recommend that you order it to your local library so others can have an opportunity to read it as well.

The gentle art of blessing is the perfect way to develop an awareness constantly centered in love. Even in the midst of trying circumstances, when you make it your daily spiritual practice, it will be impossible for your heart not to expand. From a narrow cubicle, it will become a temple without walls.

Last month I went to Derby for a lovely weekend retreat on the gentle art of blessing and it was really a wonderful weekend. There were fifty five of us all showering blessings on each other and the world for peace, love and light for everyone. It is wonderful to be with people who are all of  the same mind, all singing from the same hymn sheet. If you are having a problem with someone that you feel you cannot dissolve, start to bless the person or situation and it cannot fail to be resolved. For example “I bless you Mary and I love you and bless you and I fill you with love and light” and you can be sure that this will help you over any problem or difficulties.
