I recently took a 4 day Zoom class. It’s called Awakening the Illuminated Heart
It was taught by an associate of Drunvalo Melchizedek.
Viola Rose has been teaching this material for 14 years. It was very well organized …and quite demanding in a certain way.
It demanded my presence and focus.
It called me forth fully.
I have been listening to Drunvalo’s messages and classes, as I mentioned in a recent post. I have also read his book Living in the Heart, a requirement in preparation for the class – and have moved on to his next book.
I learned more about residing in the heart, and more about the Merkaba.
The main focus of the workshop is to establish a Merkaba. I cannot begin to explain this, but Drunvalo can – in his books. He touches on its existence in Living in the Heart.
I knew, as soon as I connected with him through videos, that he is a teacher for me. I was not disappointed. (Drunvalo is 84 and has established a class structure that others have been authorized to teach. He is still vibrant and writing …and shows up in videos.)
I will say that establishing a Merkaba has to do with navigating the coming ascension, and also navigating death. It opens other abilities as well. I am still reading The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life (Volumes 1 + 2) to learn more.
I also learned about prana breathing, which is a way of bringing energy and life force into and around one’s being. Prana is an energy of well-being that is the same as Qi. I was taught that it comes from the 4th dimension, that we draw it from there. Here is a post that I found, about prana, that explains more: https://drewdebiasse.com/musings/thepowerofprana
I also experienced seeing from my 3rd eye. I still have more to understand about this eye – an aspect of our pineal gland – in the center of the brain.
I learned that our pineal gland (along with our 3rd eye) has atrophied for a very long time. I learned that the 3rd eye’s tendency is to look directly up, but it can move. I had a task that required it to look forward in the workshop.
At this time, I feel that my recent experience of having my physical reality fall away was my 3rd eye – taking a look!
If this information moves and/or excites you, I highly recommend Awakening the Illuminated Heart. It encompasses much more than what I have mentioned here.
Viola Rose teaches it approximately every 2 months, remotely (4-12 participants). She also teaches it in person in Sedona, AZ. Another option is to purchase a prerecorded video of the class to go through at your own speed. I can’t imagine teaching myself; there were so many questions from all of us. However, you can choose to purchase remote sessions with Viola Rose as well.
You can find Viola Rose on YouTube as well, or online at http://ViolaRose.com
Whatever it is that excites you – a teacher, a concept, a way of moving forward in your life, I highly encourage you to engage with it, learn about it, find a good and qualified teacher if inspired to do so …or teach yourself if possible!
Don’t sell yourself short …you CAN expand and arrive at your desired destination.
I am so grateful that I extended the energy to move forward in this way!

I have been working on opening my 3rd eye, on activating my pineal gland.
There is a great deal to say about this; the result has been both subtle and dramatic. I am noticing that I am starting to observe the creation of my reality by my thoughts. Small things like the call of the owl or the wind in the chimes …and even once my husband’s response to me.
Then 2 nights ago the room fell away …and I saw the stars and universe.
This happened 3 times and I opened my physical eyes quickly to return to the safety of the perceived physical reality.
I look forward (with mild nervousness) to it happening again …and maybe being able to stay with it for 10 seconds …at Lei Lei’s suggestion.
I did notice a being close to me, but that was all …aside from many bright starts and a beautiful round white planet (or moon?) – at a distance and in the center of my field of vision. Lei Lei tells me it was my husband, who was close by. It didn’t look like him, though – or the human form. He was colorful and angular.
I had many questions for Lei Lei and here is part of that conversation:
I have wondered in the recent past whether other species live in the physical. I don’t know what it means to live outside of physical reality. Are we simply consciousness?
We are consciousness with souls, sometimes grouped together as we are, sometimes solitary. Sometimes in ways that are changing, that flow, like fluidity, fluidly. We are fluid beings.
When you are sexual with your husband, you are becoming one with him. You are merging with him for a moment in time, or for the journey.
And as far as being physical, it is hard to understand, but you did have a glimpse the other night when your room fell away and you saw the universe. It is the same. The physical body is not what it seems.
It can fall away. And then you are simply a soul, a soul in the universe or in a community with other souls.
But the people, the beings of other planets have places, physical places, planets. The planets are physical.
Yes, the planets are physical. And yet the planets are also beings, souls, such as what you have learned about Mother Earth, having a soul, being a soul.
Okay. I have a sense that others look a certain way from some of the messages that I’ve listened to. What is appearance? How does it work outside of physicality?
It is the way others sense you. It is the way you present yourself.
In the physical here on Earth, it is the same, but in elsewhere it is thinner, less dense, a less physical aspect. The physical is less physical than it is here, less dense than it is here in your physical reality.
We know it is overwhelming for you to consider living without your physical reality and how much you love the physicality of the Earth and the sky and the sun and the moon and the hills and your beloved husband …and his fragrance. We know, and it is something that you will know more about in the future, and it is all good. It is all okay.
Well, thank you. I will accept your words because I don’t know what else to do.
Yes. It’s happening …as we open ourselves to it.
As a retired person on a spiritual path, this is important to me …to detach from the angst and disharmony of the physical world we live in …and to open to what is coming, to ALLOW, to FLOW in the best way I can …in love, in trust.
Blessing to you on the journey.

Some months I offer a special ceremony instead of the full moon circle. It provides variation and it honors the ancient wheel of the year.
Early February is the “cross quarter” day between the Winter solstice and the Spring Equinox. It’s a holiday linked to the Irish pre-Christian deity Brigid who is a triple Goddess – representing maiden, mother and crone …and her time of year is Springtime.
As we step into the 2nd half of the Winter season, we can honor her in the circle, as well as acknowledging the beginnings of the awakening of the plants below the soil.
The Imbolc ceremony is one of renewal and rededication to that which lives within us.

If you are nearby, consider joining us:
Dress for comfort.
Seating will be on a chair or floor cushion.
Bring only a drink for yourself.
Here is a link to RSVP if you are inspired to attend.

Almost a year and a half ago my sister-in-law and her husband lost their beautiful home in Ashville, NC. Their home had been on the market …and suddenly there was no home. The insurance company determined that the home was destroyed by a mudslide rather than the hurricane …and so they were not covered.
This home was worth a great deal – over a million dollars. It was days before people could get to them, and when they were rescued, the insurance company initially put them up in a hotel …and they slowly came to terms with their new reality.
Since then, they have been living in an RV, working at state parks in the South, most recently in Georgia. They are in their 60s, and this has hit them very hard.
Meanwhile, our northern holiday gathering with my brother-in-law’s family was rescheduled for the following Saturday – 2 days after Christmas.
Just before Christmas, my husband spoke with his sister on the phone. She was having a tough spell and shared some challenges with him.
He told her about the snow we were getting …and the upcoming gathering. We had talked of inviting them to come North, and he did. It was not a surprise that she couldn’t afford to come, but the sadness in her voice hit us hard.
In the background, I encouraged him to offer to fly them up.
Generosity has always been a point of contention between us. My husband is fiscally conservative and a great saver, for which I am very grateful …and I tend to be generous to a fault. (We keep some of our finances seperate, and we have both mitigated our tendencies. Happily, this difference between us has ceased to be a bone of contention in our marriage.)
I watched him as he grappled with the idea of being generous on this level – flying his sister and her husband North to join the family gathering. We had all missed them so much, and felt in our hearts the loss and disorientation they were still navigating.
And then it happened. He offered to fly them up!
Initially she declined, because this just wasn’t done in their family. However, she agreed a few minutes later …and within an hour, flights were booked and paid.
My husband had never before expereinced being the source of generosity in this substantial way. He was elated.
The family holiday gathering was a deeply important and connected reunion for all of us.
As I write this, I realize it’s actually the first time we’ve all gathered since their mom died 2 years ago.
My step-kids were able to join the fray, and we were all able to enjoy an extended time together.
There were a few small gifts, and a great deal of palpable love, joy and laughter.
My husband glowed with internal happiness – as the hero that brought his sister home.
It has been amazing to witness this generosity. I have seen it showing up in small ways, slowly growing. But this was a significant expansion …and a big departure.
Even now, I feel tears close to the surface. I am deeply moved and grateful.
