MUSINGS

I have been moved to write about what has been happening to me the last few weeks, to share with you.  It feels like so many people are feeling so many things and don’t know why or can understand their feelings.  I being one of them, yet now begin to have some clarity for myself, so I thought sharing may be of some Service.

The Winds of Change have come in like a radiation/radiant wave of huge proportion several weeks ago.  These energies began more powerfully with the earthquake in New Zealand.  It was the second and more powerful quake there, causing some to begin to pay attention more to what was happening on the planet and, thus, within us also. 

This did catch my attention, especially since getting a voicemail message from a woman in Christchurch, New Zealand just a few hours before the major earthquake occurred. After the quake, I was sensing within myself unease.  Some may say an internal slow quake within me, making me feel a bit unsure and not clear, nervous.  Yet, I kept planning my days/nights and a wonderful gathering of dear friends/Souls in San Francisco a few weeks after the New Zealand quake occurred.  

I remembered watching a movie that was recommended to me, The Cove.  It is how the Japanese fishing industry, particularly in a small fishing town and government allows for thousands of dolphins to be corralled, collected for places like Sea World and swimming with dolphin encounters and those not chosen slaughtered in an unseen cove. The water turns blood red as shown by hidden cameras finally catching this massacre on film to show the world.  The man who found and trained the dolphins for the Flipper show, back in the day, was the primary person to try to stop this slaughter and confining the dolphins here and all over the planet.  He finally saw how the dolphins suffered in captivity.  Actually witnessing the main “Flipper” dolphin committing suicide.  He knew he started something that was wrong and he has dedicated his life to changing it.  His perspective had changed.  

I was upset after seeing this film and how many in the Japanese government locally and in fishing agencies would allow this to happen.  The film went on to say how much mercury dolphin meat has in it. And that in actuality, Japanese people do not eat dolphin meat!  Or so they thought, yet that is more to the story.   So why the slaughter?  Even, just taking the several dolphins for the “shows” is one thing, but why kill tens of thousands every year?  It just did not make any sense to me.  Or by others shown in the film. 

Obviously, Japan was in my awareness a lot after seeing the documentary.  I could see how unaware the general public was about what was happening in their own backyard.  It made me think how unaware I am about what goes on in my “backyard” here in the United States.  Or not wanting to see. 

Then the earthquake and tsunami came to Japan.  A bit ironic how I had thought about how unaware they were of activities hurting their environment and themselves in their own backyard and then this massive destruction. Sacrifice, suffering and further endangering from the nuclear fallout, which continues to be out of control.  Then the threat of radiation waves hitting the U.S.   Many waves of different types and levels really began to reverberate through and in our consciousness also.  Waves of Change.

 I was due to leave for San Francisco the morning of March 15.  Yet, I awoke the day before to find information about the radiation coming towards the West Coast and a deep sense of panic filled me.  Through an excruciating day of trying to gain some “facts” of what was going on, I determined finally to cancel this trip.  My friends would meet without me.  I was heartbroken AND felt a deep calm within myself for choosing to stay.  And, I was totally shaken up and confused.  So much going on in me and around me. It was kinda crazy, really.  My body, mainly my solar plexus, felt so much pain.  It wasn’t a normal stomach ache, this was a deep, deep pain.  I sensed it was a collective energy/pain. From the "fallout" of all the chaos and turmoil on and in the Planet.

The week continued with deep meditations, shamanic journeying and also preparing.  Preparing in the way of purchasing iodide pills, double checking supplies and making sure we were as prepared for emergency, if need be.  Getting my own “backyard” in the best order I could.  I began to learn how I needed to not only offer the energies that come through me to help heal All that were asked to, I needed to become more proactive as a citizen of this planet. 

During my time that week, I got the idea to offer free hands-on and distant healing/energy/reiki sessions for people, the Planet and All.  The two days I offered these sessions, the time slots filled quickly and the list for distant healing grew long.  I also felt a shift to be more vocal as to how I feel about our government not taking the steps to better our environment.  I do sign and send petitions to my government officials that feel in accord with how I think and feel. I pass useful information on so people can learn things and if it resonates for them, ask them to act.

I saw another film, Waste Land, last weekend.  Here an artist goes to his homeland, Brazil, and wants to go to the largest landfill in the word to meet the “pickers”, people who pick out all the recyclables out of the tons of garbage that come in every day into the landfill, and make art with it.  He sells the art and gives the proceeds to the “picker’s” organization to help them.  One of the “pickers”, an older man working there for years and years, said he was so proud of what he did.  And he would tell people that they need to recycle from their homes. He said even if one person out of 100 would think to recycle that can they just finished drinking out of, it would only be 99 cans that he would have to pick out of the landfill. Saving the planet from a bit less garbage. 

So, I am very aware now of what I throw away.  What I can recycle and compost.  I need to do a much better job, especially in the compost area.  Yet, I am starting to.  Getting simple, more frugal and reducing and reusing is playing a big part in the shift I am feeling within myself also.  Eating more healthy, eating less too, yet with good food to nourish my body.  I totally feel and understand the connection that my Body is also the Earth Body.  The veins and arteries of my body are reflected with the rivers and streams of the Earth’s body.  As I make myself more healthy, the Earth body does also. 

The Waves of Change are here more than ever.  Time is of the essence to begin to shift your own awareness and perspective to what is going on in your own “backyard”.  What step can you take to make yourself healthier?  How can you begin to stop and take deep breaths to calm your body down and out of stress and unease?  What do you feel quaking within you?  Can stopping finally and breathing and releasing stress out of your body help?  You bet!  It will also help the planet also!  Remember One and the Same.    Perhaps, you may look again at recycling your garbage or checking out organizations that resonate for you that support the environment and act in the government arena also.  And take the time to become prepared for any emergency.  Don’t depend that someone else will be there to take care of you.  Empower yourself the best you can and then get on with your Life.  Living fully! With the new energies of Spring springing forward, this is the perfect time to begin to change your perspective consciously.  It just takes one step to begin.  It just takes one person to make the difference.  Be that One and Be the Change!  Then the change won’t seem like such a huge wave.  The waves will become a supportive strong current to help support you on the river of Life.  No longer needing to fight it, you are it….Be It, the flow, Be the Change.

I hope you may choose to shift your perspective towards Wholeness and Balance for yourself, the Planet and All….

Thanks for reading this long piece I needed to share.  I hope it may help and support you in any way.

In Love’s Service,
