Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Nora]

There were some strong planetary alignments and shifts along with the Supermoon in Scorpio.
These influxes of energies will activate our energy centers and refine our own energies.
Being mindful of it all really helps me.

As eaglespirit would say love, love, love

Post Update:
Toms mantra for may 8th from his astrological report posted by Astrid on page 663 worth another watch.
Celebrate with Sacred ceremony the sensual simple sanctity of Life.

I have been dreaming of water and stone outcroppings the past few nights, some bordering on lucid, which have a deeply peaceful yet surreal time-lapse quality to them. Enigmatic and healing sleep of the night, this wanderer is immensely grateful for.

Cellular memory of navigating rivers in birch bark canoes, (current incarnation) early childhood memories of exploring rivers, lakes and gorges of the upper midwest (US) and southern Manitoba by boat have presented as well.

Kind of like this:

Blessed be all.

(I saw one of these elusive creatures this morning, trotting across the field.
Fox medicine, so apropos and much needed these crazy days.)
Thanks and praise.

6+6+6=18; 1+8=9. Perfect.

PS:
In my view, we still have 333 [9, again] pages to go to reach page 666.
Provided this thread moves at a similar pace, that's another 9 months from now.

PPS: No, not what you might have thought [hehe].

A beautiful night in the village, as I wander here and there.

Just a little musing, to no one in particular. I got lyme disease the summer of my herbal apprenticeship in NH, about ten years ago. I had a relapse after moving back to Alabama, very stressful and was a misery guts, vibrations were low day after day. Then have had a couple of near relapses since then. It's taught me how important it is to find that place within yourself ... for me, it's a place where I can find something worthwhile, something to be grateful for. I don't know what it would be for others, but it's whatever brings you up.

Lyme disease has been an ultimate blessing for me. I still have the little guys in me, I know that. Someday they will go, we're working on it. The thing I found most helpful, besides finding something good in my life no matter how it seemed to be otherwise, was fresh veggie and fruit juices, made in the juice extractor. It's the method I'm using now, but I expect I'll end up doing Machaelle Wright's Microbial program at some point. (www.perelandra-ltd.com).

I wanted to say, when it was in full force, it brought me to feel helpless beyond what I'd ever known. I could hardly function, could barely get words out of my mouth to ask for help.

That's my story about lyme disease. Just in case anybody wanted to hear about it.

All love,
Marianne

Hello Rui,

Posted by ruisatriani (here)
Do you people also feel an unjustified uneasiness and lots of anxiety for no reason at all during these past months?!

At times, but that’s good. It means, I’m aware that change is happening. Learning to go with the flow.

I've been feeling very anxious and i keep looking for what is the reason, but i cant seem to locate any source for this bursting of so much anxiety and confusion... Its like outside everything is the same, but inside this uncomfortable anxiety moves at a very high speed... I've been anxious before in my life, but not like this... so much for so long for no reason!

Sounds like you’ve got a lot of body awareness. That’s good. You are ahead of many people on the planet.

I've heard many theories.. might be the energy upgrade now, might be the galactic area we are approaching at these times.. might be just my anxiety without any relation at all with exterior energies.. but i think its something i never had before like this...

I’d agree, Rui. Great changes are happening and I'm keeping an open mind about it all.

Take care and peace to You,
WhiteCrowBlackDeer

Also, I have been doing a lot of research on the benefits of raw organic coconut oil -medical
researchers are finding that people with Alzheimers (late stage) are having improved cognitive
and motor skills by daily ingestion of the oil.

Prayers and love to all.

I just finished a bowl of "Pumpkin Flax Granola" and coconut milk. Yum!

Thank you Marianne for bringing Perelandra back to my memory. I had wanted to go there some 12 years ago... It also made me look what was up with the "Armoires aux Herbes". I was so sad when they closed business in March 2011 following a new Health Canada law for herbal products. Found out that Danièle Laberge (wonderful traditional herbalist) has a blog and that the Herbothèque is still in business.

Merci beaucoup !

[benevolentcrow]

Please say a prayer for me as I get ready to fly back to my home state of Indiana hopefully in time to say good bye to my Mother who has had a massive stroke. I know I can depend on you fine folks in this trying time. I would appreciate any positive energy sent my way. Love, peace, health and happiness to you all. Thank you, Carolyn

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Blessings and a safe flight to you Crow. Benevolence and mercy is deemed by what I have to offer to your mother and your family, and you. It's difficult to see the light amidst grief, but it is there, amidst tragedy and trauma, there is light and healing.. All is purposeful and nothing is for naught. Joy and mercy to you and yours.

[Nora]

Sorry about your Mother benevolentcrow. Wishing you a safe journey.
Loving prayers to you.




Love

Nora

(Edit) P.S. I was hoping this post would roll over and be the first one on page 666. Ha! I wonder who the lucky one will be?

Well ... we can either go into Chinese ... or else post a whole lotta images ...

Hey Calz, in reference to the above picture, I am sure you realize it too, but I can't help but point out the two horns on the pope's head, which happens to be a priest's frock collar! That's too, uh, what's the word I am looking for, ironic, maybe? Ha! By the way, has anyone else watched the BBC series, "Father Ted"? That's the best, most hilarious comedy series I have ever seen! Highly recommended to anyone with a sense of humor larger than my pinky toenail.

............This one is just for giggles..........

And this one goes out to Purple Lama, much love to you and yours buddy:

I have passed the test ... and will now sail to the East ...

Well, you won't be meeting Galadriel. She sailed into the West.

I'm sure your wife will be pleased.

Yep.

Don't remember where the story is now but whoever first published the image (newspaper or magazine) got a lot of people complaining about it.

Dunno ... seems rather appropriate to me

So I took the long route around Middle Earth ...

Yes ... as the years go by unfortunately my brain is sailing to the South ...

PL, you mentioned how to use kelp. I don't have any favorite ways for kelp, it's one sea veg that still tastes strong to me. If it's iodine you're looking for, other sea vegs have it too. I've found some others I like. Have you eaten much sea veg in your diet? If not, dulse is a good one to start with, it tastes rich and not very seaweedy. You can toast it or even pan cook it in a little oil. Nori sheets, toasted (you can buy them already toasted) are good as wrappers for veggie or California nori make (like sushi but without raw fish). Or you can crumble them up and put them into your food, veggies, rice, potatoes, etc. Miso soup is traditionally made with wakame seaweed, but you can substitute alaria.

A delicious cooked dish is soba or udon noodles cooked in water then stir fried with sea veg bits, green peas, and walnuts, all dressed with a teriyaki type sauce (make your own, it's so easy and you control what goes into it).

Gomasio is a traditional recipe of sesame seeds and salt, ground up and used as a condiment. People have begun to add sea veg to it. 5:1 ratio of sesame:salt is traditional, but macrobiotic cooking uses more like 18:1. Some add seaweed powder to it -- dulse, or nori are good. Here's a website with more info. http://www.whole-body-detox-diet.com/gomasio.html

Sea vegetables are so good for you. I won't go into all the benefits, but here is a website if anyone's interested in learning more. This guy is in Maine, and when I lived in NH all his seaweedy goods were widely available. I miss him, find a few of his products here. I love it that he is passionate about it. http://www.theseaweedman.com/recipes
Here's a soup he and his wife Nina made with seaweed in it, called Sea Gypsy Soup. It makes me feel like cooking today.


That's my little bit for the morning. Miso soup for lunch is sounding good.

Page 666, any leaks yet?

All the plumbers I've ever known forgot to repair their own homes, which resulted in their wives becoming bitter and miserable. So dropping by this particular Village will mean a community effort where helpers will see to it that you get your affairs in order, while you can for once sit back, relax and most of all, enJOY.

You just me me a happier plumber then i have ever been, the village has an excellent community college i have heard, it is so nice you train your own staff in doing the messy chores themselves. Finally can take some time off and take the girlfriend( not wife) to a nice dinner.

Mornin’ & Evenin’, All

Rachel Willis of “Lightworker Magazine,” channels individual messages from The Masters. The topic for today is: "Stop Trying"

Stop Trying!
If you have tried and failed, tried and failed, tried and failed, stop trying!

Trying is the antithesis of intuition, for it implies going away from your naturally balanced, content and assured state to force a situation, person or dream to be a certain way. Fear lays behind effort beyond the naturally passionate energy of the heart and soul, and as you are aware, fear will never create the happiness or peace you seek.

So set down your attempts to bring your dream life, dream income or dream person into your reality. Let go, let yourself rest, and THEN you shall experience the deepest meaning of success and abundant, effortless joy.

Have a great day/evening,
