Kryon's Old Soul Toolkit for 2013

So some are probably wondering about the weird energy so far this year, and Kryon has done a couple of channelings, one on Jan 6 in Phoenix and the second in Boulder on Jan 13. The one in Boulder is the "toolkit" channeling, but the pair actually do need listened to together. The Phoenix channeling is "the transition begins." 

enjoy!

You must ask your doc about herbs & complimentary therapies

This topic came up at the day job today and I thought I'd remind folks about because I was really surprised the gal I was talking to wasn't aware of it. She also is a complimentary therapist of sorts (outside of the day job) --- trained in reflexology, martial arts, qi gong & tai chi, and in fact teaches a mixture of qi gong/tai chi/yoga. 

I told her I'd been researching some alternative cancer therapies (my mom died from cancer in 2004) and we started talking about the MDs (allopathic physicians) and how some are very open to them, some aren't, some will discuss them, and some won't, and so forth. Some of the MDs she knew in her personal life, not as a patient, would talk about other, older therapies in that setting but not with patients.  All of this is because of the AMA --- American Medical Association.

What I shared with her that I discovered several years ago when I was having some major 2nd chakra issues and ended up have outpatient surgery and then continuing treatment w/ an acupuncturist, a gifted energy healer (my guru/teacher), and took some major supplements to clear the rest of the problem naturally over the course of a year, was something I hadn't been aware of and probably never would have been if my acupuncturist hadn't told me.  In the US, medical doctors can only discuss herbs and complimentary therapies if you ask them about it or bring it up first. They cannot bring it up or talk about it until you do. This is because of an AMA rule.

Back then, my regular doc couldn't do the surgery I needed because she has rheumatoid arthritis in her hands, so we brought in another doc in her office at the time. (My doc has since then gone out on her own, which is a good thing because there were definitely some characters in that office!) This other doc was younger, whizzed thru high school & college & med school early, and was also very familiar with herbs. But when I saw her, and every time I saw her (even after I brought up the herbs), the energy around her was confused, conflicted, and even downright hostile!  And I had no freakin' idea why, but was just very glad when I didn't have to see her anymore! :)  

During one of my acupuncture sessions I mentioned this to my acupuncturist. (She works a LOT w/ MDs on female fertility issues and so knows a lot more about how they (the MDs) work w/ other therapies.) And she said, "She's conflicted because of the AMA rule---that's what you're picking up. Medical doctors can't discuss alternative therapies unless the patient brings them up first."  

So, there you go. If you're going to include other therapies in your health care,  make sure you bring them up with your doctor. Once you do that, the MDs are free to discuss it with you. Most complimentary therapists will also happily talk to your doctor if you want. It may require a separate release form from each of them because of HIPPA (in the US there's a reg, HIPPA for short, that governs what medical information can be shared with and without the patient's consent), but all the therapists I know will gladly work as closely with your physician as they can.  

Until next time be well & be happy my friends. :)

Stress reduction decreases aging & increases life span...

I just watched an interesting episode on the Smithsonian channel (free) via my Roku box for streaming. (You can also watch it on the web.) 
_____________________________________
Money Saving Tip! Another way to save $$$:  I cut loose all cable / satellite TV some years ago and don't miss it at all w/ my streaming ability. The Roku box only costs you once and you can stream NetFlix and a number of other channels (many for free) for a fraction of what your cable TV costs. I supplement w/ digital rabbit ears to pull in local stations (all of which are broadcasting in HD for free) for traffic & weather. I do keep the boxes hardwired w/ an Ethernet connection because it's faster than wireless. (So you'd need to add a couple routers and cable, which rarely need replaced.) Just think of how much cash you could save --- upwards of $100/month easily!
_________________________________________ 
This episode is titled: Decoding Immortality and it talks about the telomeres in our cells that control aging. Shorter telomeres equal shorter life while longer ones equal longer life. Biologists have known about telomeres since they first started studying genetics in the 50s and how they are related to the aging of cells. What is new information, however, is that some studies have now been done (see the episode) that firmly show how stress reduction (meditation, yoga, life style changes) lengthens the telomeres, meaning a longer life. The study was done with men who had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

I would add to that list for stress reduction: self-hypnosis, energy healing / Reiki, gardening (digging in dirt has also been shown to scientifically reduce stress levels, as any gardner could have told you, and be very grounding for those of us needing to re-connect in a very real and concrete way w/ Mother Earth), petting animals, creating art (drawing, painting, music) and just soaking up nature in every way shape and form possible.  But don't take my word for it --- please, try some of these activities yourself, watch the vid, and let us know if you feel better. :)

New Year's thoughts on many things...

There have been a lot of things floating around my mind since the last post and every time I was about ready to put something down here, something else would happen that I needed to digest for a while before I could talk intelligently about it. 

CT School Shootings
For example, the CT school shootings 11 days before Xmas. I have an old friend from my high school days (don't you dare ask how long ago that was! lol) who lives in CT. Her two youngest are 4 and 8 or 9 (4th grade). She lives 10 miles away from the school and she had to have a talk about death with her two beautiful daughters because they lost a playmate and friend in the shooting. At those ages, all those girls should be worried about are which dollie to play with, what color clothes to wear, and when they're going to see grandma. I've posted before about soul contracts, ascension & crazy shootings so I won't belabor the points here. But I did feel it necessary to say something about those 20 beautiful little babies lost in CT. Please keep them and their families in your healing thoughts and prayers as we move forward thru the year.

ObamaCare, Economic Policies, Inflation & Saving Money
The next thing that's been rattling around my brain regularly is this set of issues. For those of us in the US, the economy has been on the top of all our minds because of the prices spiking all over: groceries, heat/electric, and gasoline. There are still many out of work and those of us with "day jobs" are hanging onto them pretty tightly. Our taxes are going up at least 2% with the reinstatement of Social Security with holding going back to where it was previously, and many of us have been doing the work of more than 1 person (in some cases 3-4 people) for so long now that we've given up hope of ever having our companies hire additional help. On the bright side, ObamaCare (which we won't fully feel in our wallets until 2014) will make it easier to be self employed, but that is a small bonus. So, since I know we all have saving money every way possible on our minds (mine too), and since I grew up on a farm where nothing was wasted and since my parents both made it through the Great Depression of the 30s (read:  Frugalness passed on to me), I'm going to start sharing tips on how to do many things around the house for less money. I'll toss them out when they float to the top of my mind and post them here. :) And that brings me to the final topic below.

Herbal Remedies, Backyard Gardens & Food Preservation
These days, some folks call that "backyard homesteading." :)  As ObamaCare fully kicks in, it will result in longer wait times for appointments with your doc. My own doc told me that when it was first being discussed. So my friends, those of you with healing skills and herbal skills should start getting ready to help your friends and neighbors with all manner of non-emergency wellness issues:  colds, coughs, flu, rashes, chronic complaints and so forth. When I was growing up, we only went to the doc when we were really sick and not for every ache and pain as many do these days. I see us moving back to that earlier model for doc visits. 

[On a related note, we are on the verge of a great resurgence of magick in our reality. All complimentary practices will be used fully so please my healing friends get your home offices ready to see people. The policy decisions made and the 2012 election outcome are guiding us firmly in that direction. The re-birth of that type of a healing society is indeed part of the Divine Feminine energies re-surging to re-establish the balance.] 

Herbal remedies are what nature intended for most ailments that aren't acute (like car crashes or broken limbs), so plant both a medicinal and culinary herb garden by your back door. Fresh vegetables are going to get even more expensive than they are now, as will all meats, dairy, and grains. You can easily plant enough fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, zucchini, bush beans) in your backyard for a family of 4. That will help save a tremendous amount of grocery money. And if you find yourself with excess veges, you can freeze them, can them, or preserve them in some manner. Those preserves and bumper crops used in sweet breads and gifts to others are usually greatly appreciated if you can't use them yourself.

In fact, I've about picked out my own herbs for planting, my Amazon cart has the makings for about 4, 4x4 raised beds where I'll do mixed plantings of herbs, veges & flowers (See Roses Love Garlic, Carrots Love Tomatoes, and The Heirloom Life Gardner). I also have the makings for a small indoor greenhouse for fresh lettuce and a few veges year round. That's about all I can "get away with" since I have a HOA to answer to here. BUT, if you don't have a HOA you can plant more and add a few chickens for fresh eggs (chickens also eat bugs and all manner of things), and maybe add a root cellar (pretty easy to build). :) What? Worried about watering all of that?  Add a couple of rain barrels and use the water from there, and don't forget to add a small composting system. There are small, closed systems you can buy these days so you won't stink out the neighbors (yes, of course my HOA has a rule against compost piles!) --- and there's also one of those in my Amazon basket. 

Companion planting is a way to control pests, keep the soil fresh, and maximize production in a small area. Think of it this way: American Indians use to plant the "3 sisters" together --- corn, beans, and squash. Well, now the science is there to back up that planting scheme. Corn depletes nitrogen from the soil badly; beans are legumes and "nitrogen fixers" so they put nitrogen back into the soil; and squash has very broad leaves that keeps the moisture in like a natural mulch. In much the same way, garlic keeps bugs off roses, marigolds help control pests in the vege gardens (and they are also a good herb to have around for healing cuts and scrapes --- calendula is marigolds). Heirloom varieties are those vegetables that have been around forever (the ones your grandparents grew), are air pollinated, and who's children are true to the parental type (unlike hybrids). These are the varieties and the seeds you want. And if you're really frugal, you can even save the seeds from some of the crop for planting the following year. 

I'll share here some of the garden and herbal adventures as I get things put in place. And I'll be cleaning up my own home office so it's presentable to people again. :)  Happy New Year all, blessings to your & yours as we move forward thru 2013!

exquisite description of Lightworker's from New Mexico Lightworkers

Our Facebook friends over at New Mexico Lightworkers (renamed Golden Age Lightworkers) posted this exquisite description of lightworkers today that we'd like to share with everyone because it really does capture the character & soul of Lightworkers. 

We'd also like to remind you all that finding support and others who are "like you" is much easier now than it has ever been in the past --- you can connect with other lightworkers from around the world in the virtual world often easier than you can IRL (in real life). ;> Come join us in Facebook, on Twitter, and in blogs, and if you're close enough to some seminars or workshops I encourage you to go and experience them. They are often very moving as many old souls "recognize" each other and during group meditations when the energies are at their highest (groups pool their energies for more intense work that cannot be done alone) there are many from the other realms who also pop in to say "hi, hello," and "greetings." You'll meet those you need to and those who need to connect with you in very serendipitous ways during those workshops (usually sitting by or near you), and if you carpool or share a motel room with someone that will also be someone you're supposed to connect with for some very specific reason. :)  
________________________ 
‎The Lightworker’s Identity 
Lightworkers are souls who carry the strong inner desire to spread Light – knowledge, freedom and self-love – on Earth. They sense this as their mission. They are often attracted to spirituality and to therapeutic work of some kind.

Because of their deeply felt mission, lightworkers often feel different from other people. By experiencing different kinds of obstacles on their way, life provokes them to find their own unique path. Lightworkers are nearly always solitary individuals, not fitting into fixed societal structures.

The reason we use the word "lightworker" despite possible misunderstandings is because it carries associations and stirs memories within you that help you remember. There is a practical convenience to it as well, since the term is frequently used in your current spiritual literature.

Historical roots of lightworkers:

• Lightworkers carry within them the ability to attain spiritual awakening faster than other people. They carry inner seeds for a rapid spiritual awakening. With regard to this, they seem to be on a faster track than most people, if they choose it. This again is not because lightworkers are in any way “better” or “higher” souls. They are, however, older than most souls presently incarnate on Earth. This older age should preferably be understood in terms of experience rather than time.
• Lightworkers have reached a particular stage of enlightenment before they incarnate on Earth and start their mission. They consciously choose to become entrenched in the “karmic wheel of life” and to experience all forms of confusion and illusion that go with it.
• They do this in order to fully understand “Earth experience.” This will enable them to fulfill their mission. Only by going through all stages of ignorance and illusion themselves will they eventually own the tools to help others achieve a state of true happiness and enlightenment.
• Lightworkers stood on the eve of humanity’s birth on Earth. They took part in the creation of man. They were co-creators of humanity. In the process of creation.
• Before we go into this particular history, we will name a few characteristics of lightworker souls which generally distinguish them from other people. These psychological traits do not uniquely belong to lightworkers and not all lightworkers will recognize all of them as theirs. By drawing up this list, we simply want to give an outline of the lightworker’s psychological identity. With regard to the characteristics, outer behavior is of less importance than inner motivation or felt intent. What you feel inside is more important than what you show outside.

Psychological characteristics of lightworkers:

• From early on in their life, they feel they are different. More often than not they feel isolated from others, lonely and misunderstood. They will often become individualists who will have to find their own unique ways in life.
• They have trouble feeling at home within traditional jobs and/or organization structures. Lightworkers are naturally anti-authoritarian which means that they naturally resist decisions or values based solely on power or hierarchy. This anti-authoritarian trait is present even if they seem timid and shy. It is connected to the very essence of their mission here on Earth.
• Lightworkers feel drawn to helping people as a therapist or as a teacher. They may be psychologists, healers, teachers, nurses, etc. Even if their profession is not about helping people in a direct manner, the intent to contribute to the higher good of humanity is clearly present.
• Their vision of life is colored by a spiritual sense of how all things are related together. They consciously or subconsciously carry memories within them of non-earthly spheres of light. They may occasionally feel homesick for these spheres and feel like a stranger on Earth.
• They deeply honor and respect life which often manifests as a fondness for animals and a concern for the environment. The destruction of parts of the animal and vegetable kingdoms on Earth by human doing invokes deep feelings of loss and grief in them.
• They are kind-hearted, sensitive and empathic. They may have trouble dealing with aggressive behavior and they generally experience difficulties in standing up for themselves. They can be dreamy, naive or highly idealistic, as well as insufficiently grounded, i.e. down-to-earth. Because they easily pick up negative feelings and moods of people around them, it is important for them to spend time alone on a regular basis. This enables them to distinguish between their own feelings and those of others. They need solitary time to touch base with themselves and with Mother Earth.
• They have lived many lives on Earth in which they were deeply involved with spirituality and/or religion. They were present in overwhelming numbers in the old religious orders of your past as monks, nuns, hermits, psychics, witches, shamans, priests, priestesses, etc. They were the ones providing a bridge between the visible and the invisible, between the daily context of Earth life and the mysterious realms of the afterlife, realms of God and the spirits of good and evil. For fulfilling this role, they were often rejected and persecuted. Many of you were sentenced to the stake for the gifts you possessed. The traumas of persecution left deep traces within your soul’s memory. This may presently manifest as a fear of being fully grounded, i.e. a fear to be really present, because you remember being brutally attacked for who you were.
• When lightworkers have made their way through the karmic burden, which means to release the need for power in any way, they will realize that they are essentially beings of light. This will enable them to help others in finding their own true selves. But first they have to go through that process themselves. This generally demands great determination and perseverance on the inner level. Because society feeds them values and judgments which often go against their own natural impulses, many lightworkers have gotten lost, ending up in states of self-doubt, self-denial and even depression and hopelessness. This is because they cannot fit into the established order of things and they conclude there must be something terribly wrong with them.

What lightworkers have to do at this point is to stop looking for validation from the outside – from parents, friends or society. At some point in time, you who are reading this will have to take the momentous leap to true empowerment, which means to really believe in yourself and to truly honor and act upon your natural inclinations and your inner knowing.

We invite you to do so and we assure you that we will be with you every step of the way – just like you will be there for others on their way in the not too distant future.

essential oil spritzers for space clearing

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it in here (but I have in my book) that you can make essential oil spritzer sprays to use in areas where burning incense or candles isn't really acceptable, like your cube at work. You can also use these spritzers in the car and around the house if you share your space with someone who has asthma or breathing issues (the smoke from incense and smudging isn't really good for them). These sprays are very light since the biggest ingredient is filtered / distilled / blessed water. And since our homes can get a bit static-ey in the winter (unless you have the humidifier way up ;>), you could also use these in large pots of hot water, either on your cook stove or wood stove (many of which can be used for also baking and warming food) to clear and scent the home. Yes, you can even put them in a stove-top humidifier and I bet they'd work just as well in a warm mist humidifier (electric), but the oils might discolor the plastic.  :)

The basic oils used in the space clearing spritzer spray are listed below. Play with the amounts and proportions of the oils, following your intuition and your nose. :) You may even find some scents that you want to put into a single oil spray. A few of my favorite oils for that Rosewood, Amber Attar, and Dragon's Blood. Dragon's Blood is an especially powerful cleanser and it clears things the others can't. (Spraying or burning Dragon's Blood and calling on Archangel Michael will clear Anything and Everything!) 

When I mixed up the batch below and used it in the office the first time, I had folks drifting over from other parts of the office asking about it. What they keyed in on was the Rosewood woodsy-spicy scent. Everyone who smells the spritzer with the Rosewood as the strongest note LOVES it! This mix (and especially the Rosewood) is quite grounding (helps w/ staying focused at work) yet clears and opens all energy centers.

Here's the clearing mixture for a 4 oz batch, with the oils listed most to least amounts: 

• Rosewood (10-20 drops)
• Frankincense (6-7 drops)
• Helichrysum (2-4 drops) --- very strong scent
• Orange (4-5 drops)
• Juniper Berry (2-4 drops) --- very strong scent
• Myrrh (1-3 drops)

Start with the oils used in the smallest amounts and work your way up. Add them to a base of filtered water in a spray bottle (4 oz). You can either clear/infuse with Reiki/Healing Energy separately or as the finished mixture. Experiment with the proportions and use what your intuition (and nose) tells you. :) Enjoy!
