Answers to my questions

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.

Mother Earth – practices and revelations

Over the past several months I have added several daily practices of love and reverence for Mother Earth in response to learning from several sources that she is a being of love and nurturance and that she has a soul like we do!

Obviously her physicality is quite a bit larger!

This should have been no surprise to me – that she has a soul as we do. I have journeyed in my shamanic training and in my practice to the spirit of Mother Earth. She has provided me with guidance and wisdom several times.

This year I have made a more conscous effort to spend daily time barefoot outside.

I have also come across several simple rituals to honor the Earth, and I have added 2 of them to my daily practices.

One started about a year ago, before I learned that she has a soul …when I established a simple outside altar with the 4 directions marked on perimeter rocks. I start to sing and speak to the Earth. I did this daily, often singing a song that I sang in full moon circles in the past (I will introduce it to the new circles soon). This Summer I combined this with a practice of pressing my forehead to the ground and breathing in the fragrance of the earth several times. This is a delight for me, because I love to sing, and I love the fragrance of the earth.

I’m not sure how it will go in the winter. I expect to still touch my forehead to the earth. I may not linger as long, singing as I walk, adding my spoken gratitude and prayers inside.

I always thank the Earth for sustaining our lives with food, water, the atmosphere that provides the air we breath and allows the Sun to provide the warmth and light that gives us life. I express my gratitude for the opportunity to live in this physical reality.

The other daily practice is one that I read about this Summer, which deeply resonated for me. I stand with a wide stance (barefoot now unless chilled) on the Earth with arms reaching up to the sky and spread maybe 3 feet apart. I become a conduit between Mother Earth and the Universe and Creator. I serve as a conduit for love and energies coming to support and assist her in the transformation that is occuring at this time – shifts within the Earth that will bring forth a pole shift and more. (I have discovered scientists that are monitoring the core of the earth and discussing the timing of the pole shift – check YouTube!)

On my first IN breath I consciously draw in support for the Earth from above through my hands/arms. On my OUT breath I send it to her through my legs/feet. Then I breath IN her response of gratitude through my legs and breath it OUT through my arms to that which supports her beyond us. I do this 3 times. Sometimes I have a sense of what is being provided …gratitude and love from below …and love and support from above. Sometimes the requests and gratitude come from above. Sometimes I feel a drawing close of the Earth’s being or soul …to me in response.

These practices just take a few minutes and I love feeling a PART of “all that is,” and a part of the love and support that is all around me.

I have also come to realize the love of Mother Earth for humanity …and I feel her love for me personally as well.

I know that I am a recipient of so much that is unseen at this time, as I walk my path.

My love and gratitude for Earth (and Sun, and All …) grow daily – for all that she provides, and to support the shifting that is under way.
