JULY 29TH – A RARE GRAND SEXTILE/STAR OF DAVID/MERKABA…. PORTAL

JULY 29^TH – A RARE GRAND SEXTILE/STAR OF DAVID/MERKABA…. PORTAL

This rare alignment is made up of 2 Grand Trines….one in Water and the other in Earth signs.  These 2 Grand Trines overlap each other forming a 6 pointed star….The star of David/Grand Sextile/Merkaba.

This rare configuration is the strongest from about 7:24 am CDT to about 5:18 pm CDT on July 29^th.

There are 8 planets and the Nodal axis involved in this rare configuration. They are Jupiter and Mars (in Cancer), Saturn and the North Node (in Scorpio), and Neptune and Chiron (in Pisces) that make up the water trine. Then we have the Moon (in Taurus), Venus (in Virgo), and Pluto (in Capricorn) making up the Earth trine.   

A water trine, connected with an Earth trine….both Earth and Water elements in astrology are considered “yin” or “feminine energy”…..very flowy, intuitive, and creative.  Feminine energy is also about love and peace…..  The Universe is again emphasizing the feminine energy and how we need to honor and embody it as we bring the feminine and the male, the yin and the yang energies into balance.

This alignment is also a figure shown in Sacred Geometry called a Star Tetrahedron or 6 pointed star.  Spiritually/metaphysically it is also called a Merkaba.  Drunvalo Melchizedek defines the Merkaba as “The Merkaba is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.”    Add in the fact that that Jupiter (master teachers, higher knowledge, joy, expansion, long journeys) and Mars (the pioneer, the crusader, passion) both in the Water Trine…. are sitting right on the star Sirius…. and the Sirius Star System has worked closely with the Evolution of the Earth in Ancient times…..and now.

Remember also that Jupiter and Mars are connecting this rare configuration to the powerful Cardinal T-Square. The Universe is speaking loudly and urgently about change, transformation…..no lies, no secrets, no out of bounds ego, no judgment etc.  etc.  The Universe is again asking us to move away from things, people, places and that are no longer vibrating where we are now vibrating.  It is time to move beyond all of that and into the “new.”

With this Grand Sextile/Star of David/Merkaba  the Universe is making it known that the feminine energy…..the Heart energy (thinking with the Heart)…..the nurturing energy….and the intuitive energy is of great importance as we co-create the “new”, in all areas.    This is a time of great evolutionary potential…….. for ourselves, humanity, our planet, our solar system, and our galaxy .”

This is a lot of energy to try and embody and think about….the Universe is giving us a rare opportunity to activate and to receive more knowledge, both conscious and unconsciously.   Take time to connect and interact with the high energies that are open to us during this powerful portal.  Call in your guidance as you Meditate on all levels…….and receive.  Take a few minutes and sit in quiet and Listen!  Connect or sit with the Earth if you can so her feminine energy can help ground in the water energy of this Grand Sextil/Star of David/Merkaba.

The Universe is giving us an opportunity with this rare configuration……take time to Manifest and create a beautiful “new” world, create what you would like in your own reality.  Tune into this energy and consciously choose to receive it…...to activate it…….then….meditate…..feel……create…..Listen!

Mind bending message...

I received this email from Street Hypnosis and the logic is interesting....and I do believe in the summary....  And therefore, you hold within you the POWER to totally transform every aspect of your life. 

Here is their link if you are interested in more info:

 http://beyondselfhypnosis.com/?email=sky%40skysmith.com

    Do you exist?

    How do you know you exist?

    How do you know anything exists?

    Take an everyday object that you know exists - say a bright red apple. 

    You'd know the red apple exists because you'd have a visual sense of it.

    In this case it would be bright red and roundish in shape.

    You'd also have a tactile sense of the apple if you picked it up.

    You'd get a sense of the weight, size, shape and texture of the apple through the holding of it.

    Likewise, there could be a sense of sound associated with the apple - such as when a bite is taken out of it and you hear the "scrunch" sound.

    There would also be the sensation of taste and smell.

    The apple would taste a certain way and have its own particular "fruity" scent.

    Each of the 5 senses - sight, feel, sound, taste, and smell - would all result in you being 100% certain the red apple exists.

    The same 5 senses - sight, feel, sound, taste, and smell - all result in you being 100% certain everything in your life exists.

    Including your own body.

    But hang on a minute...

    Exactly what is the SUBSTANCE (the "stuff") of the red apple?

    And exactly what is the SUBSTANCE (the "stuff") of any object that exists?

    Let's stick with the red apple for a moment.

    The entire basis on which you would say an apple exists, is by way of
the senses.

    Everything you'd know about that
red apple would come from your 5 senses - sight, feel, sound, taste, and smell.

    In other words, your entire "evidence" that the red apple exists would be by way of sensations.

    Now ask yourself this:

    What "substance" makes up the apple itself?

    Really stop for a moment and ponder the question:

    What does the apple consist of, apart from (or outside) your five senses?

    Stay with that question a moment.

    When you think of what an apple is, entirely apart (separate from) those five sensations - what happens?

    You can't think of anything, right?

    And why can't you think of anything?

    The only answer that remains is - because there isn't any thing.

    Only those 5 sensations exist.

    Try the question on everything that "exists" in the world.

    Even your own body.

    Example:

    If you couldn't see your body, and you couldn't feel your body (internally or externally) and you couldn't hear anything going on in your body or the noises your body makes, and you couldn't taste anything in your mouth, and you couldn't smell anything on your body (like your hair, your skin or even your own breath) - then, how would you know you exist?

    What evidence would you have?

    What evidence could you "take" into a court of law?

    You wouldn't have any evidence, right?

    YOU only exist because you sense (through your five senses) that you exist.

    Take away all of those 5 senses and "poof" you no longer exist.

    The "apple" and your "body" as separate, solid objects haven't gone anywhere.

    They never were "out there" as separate solid objects in the first place.

    The point?

    This: As "weird" or as "mind bending" as this may seem - the ONLY CONCLUSION
we are left with (after the 5 senses are stripped away) is that nothing "out there" exists.

    The ONLY "thing" that exists "out there" is our mental sensations.

    Everything else is illusion.

    Put another way: NOTHING is separate from our sensations.

    "Things" are our sensations.

    Which is actually very good news if you fully allow yourself to be okay with what this message is pointing toward.

    Because if nothing exists outside of (or separate from) your sensations - that means all of your life is not happening to you; it's coming FROM you.

    And therefore, you hold within you the POWER to totally transform every aspect of your life.

    You can transform your finances.

    You can transform your health.

    And you can transform your relationships.

    Everything is possible for you - because it's already "inside" of you and being out-projected from you.

    You just need to discover - EXPERIMENTALLY - how to change your
consciousness and mental out-projecting so your life "mirrors" back to you
exactly what you want it to "look" like.

Treating Canine Abscess Healed With Essential Oils

My dog Buckaroo Banzai is a 7 year old Standard Poodle or some people may call him a Royal Poodle because he is 75 pounds of Poodle fun.

I found a golf ball sized fluid filled (I assumed) abscess under the skin on his back, between his withers.  I toyed with the idea of taking him to the vet but held back because I had purchased an essential oil book, Animal Desk Reference Book by Melissa Shelton, DVM…..so I did a bit of research and decided I would try out the recommendation from the book and since I am a Young Living Oils distributor and use them for myself and my family…..why would the dog be any different?

I treated it for about 2 weeks with frankincense oil and thieves oil spray, applied morning and evening.  I would gently massage the oil above and around the abscess.  For several days I didn’t see any changes and I thought that if it would get worse, we would go to the vet….I call it my “spidy sense” when I know I need to take urgent action.  

Not long after that, I started to think that it was shrinking or changing and had wished that I can used calipers to measure it before I had started applying the oils.  My sense was that it didn't seem to be as firm or as solid as before. Dang, I wish now that I had applied a little more scientific  discipline to this.

I kept treating and then I started to feel some scabbing on the skin above the abscess.  I rechecked the book and these oils can be put directly on the skin (called neat) without diluting with a carrier oil.  I backed off treating to once per day and the scabbing got thicker and broader.

Our neighbors have pets and got us into Young Living Oils and they were sitting on our deck and I asked for their opinion of Buckaroo’s back.  They both thought that the scabbing was the fluid from the abscess bubbling to the surface.  Which makes perfect sense that the body would either absorb or eliminate the fluid in some way and the scabbing was like dried yellowish pus.

Today, I trimmed away the hair and bathed the area to clean it up and found a little redness but otherwise I was very pleased with what I saw and felt in the area. 

I hope this helps you as well.

Rock Divination Exercise

Last weekend I participated in a Rock Divination and marveled in the results.  I paired with my husband….so you need 2 people for this exercise, 3 sheets of paper per person and some rocks with interesting characteristics….very helpful.  

My husband brought his own rock…one that had jumped out of the ground to get his attention when he was churning up some dirt by his workshop.  I chose one that resonated with me from the ones provided by our facilitator (my friend Fraya).

The assignment was for 1 person to be the subject, to consider the rock and the other is the scribe.  Page 1 is numbered 1,2,3,4 with plenty of space between each number.  Page 2 is the same as 1 and Page 3 is where you write the issue you want some insight on.

Step 1:  I choose a question that I was seeking guidance from the rock…perhaps a better explanation is that you are using the rock as a tool to communicate with your higher self or even better……. the universal consciousness.  Write the question down on the 3^rd piece of paper.

Step 2:  I had to choose “a side” of the rock that appealed to me.  Then, I pondered my question as I looked at the rock.  As I viewed the rock, my scribe wrote down (on page 1) my 4 images or impressions, emotions, etc that I got from the single side of the rock.  I had to spin my rock around several times to get the 4 images.

Step 3:  choose another side of the rock and do the same thing as Step 2 and put the images on page 2.

Step 4:  I considered each image on page 1 then 2, and I wrote down what each image meant to me.  I put my comments (in a different ink color), next to the image….I guess not everyone carries several different pens around with them all the time…..I do….I carry a spiral notebook around with me all the time….I’m kinda nerdy….part of my charm!

Step 5:  Then I put all 3 pages in front of me: the question and my interpretations of the images and what they meant to me.  I liked this to when I took tarot classes and and my instructor would giggle and say, “let it gestalt” (take form or shape).  And then I did a reading for myself.

It was fun and creative….I believe if we can get our egos out of the way, we can get to a place where we can access a place within ourselves where we can find our answers…and sometimes more questions.

I hope you enjoy this exercise, we did!!!

News about the fight against cancer

News about the fight against cancer......

Disclaimer……I am not a medical expert of any sort and this is not medical advice.  That said, I have to rely on what I hear, see, read and what makes sense to me.... and pass this along for your consideration.  When we heard about this, we did some due diligence from a 3^rd unrelated party (that we highly regard as knowledgeable) ….and both confirmed there may be truth in this.  So in the pursuit of …..

We have a customer that is in the food chemistry industry and he told my husband that they have determined in their lab that eating barley creates an environment in the body that is hostile to ……cancer and free radicals.

We went to another friend who has a relationship with a local chemist and he confirms and suggested…. drinking fermented barley juice.

There is a bunch of “stuff” out on the internet when I searched both barley and cancer…….I haven’t had time to do any further research on this topic but wanted to get this out to you since it may take me months to do more due diligence on this interesting “item”.

My thoughts….what the heck…..drink more barely…………fermented, barley is used as an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages. 

Do your due diligence and discover your truth about this.
