THE TREE CUTTING DAY

This morning, my angels cards read, "Look Deeper","Move","Commitment"

Today is a "Blue Crystal Storm" day on the 13moon calendar. I day when things get churned up, so that newness can arise, so that what's wanting to happen can arise. It's a day of catalyzing...being the catalyzing agent for what's wanting to happen. That's me! the catalyst.

As I climbed out of my van, the sun was up and it was still quiet in the neighborhood. I danced under the tree of gratitude in my pyjamas and overcoat.
I said,
"I am that I am
I am a beloved child of God
All my needs are being met by what is already mine
Therefore I release the boulder out of the way of my dreams
And I accept my dreams
And I flow with loving gratitude for my blessings today"
(this prayer comes from Zoe Jarboe, a spiritual mentor of mine)

The evening before I could still feel the anger, coming from another man in someone's life and he was at a loss of what to do. He was drinking himself into oblivion.

This morning, a woman called on the phone,in total frustration and anger, and was speaking in German. I just left a message for someone to call her back.

Then the tree people came to cut a huge pine tree in the backyard.
As the men were gathering the huge chunks, tumbling from way up high, they stomped through the newly made goddess garden filled with lavender and pink roses. I just couldn't be upset,because I could immediately see the old lower energy, but went to them to firmly point out to them, to take care of where they step.
As I thought of beginning my writing today in Gina's office, the man outside was gunning his chainsaw with great delight. There was too much contrast, too much intensity. I packed a lunch and walked out to my meadow in the middle of the forest.

On the way were the far off sounds of target shooting. And helicopter and plane sounds overhead. I told myself, that it was soon lunchtime and everyone would take a break, and sure enough they did.

In the magic meadow, it is protected from a lot of noise. The meadow is totally surrounded by thick green moss covered forests. A man passing through with six dogs all happily trailing behind him..I just couldn't resist to run up to them to greet the entire family. The biggest dog rushed back to me to embrace me in his dog-loving way, and all the little ones followed like a happy chorus. All of his dogs were rescued in Italy. One had cancer of the mouth, and was predicted to die within days. And four months later after two walks a day in the magic meadow, the dog is totally healed.

The man didn't understand that the meadow has a healing energy. I did. I've been coming here every day. Now's the time to share with you an amazing machine, which was tested by NASA and is sold by a Swiss Mfg.Co. I saw this presented at an alternative health practioners fair in Munich. The machine collects certain radio waves outside of our atmosphere, which aren't so available from our planet. These wave frequencies help a person heal, recover, and energize. When the astronauts go up into space, they receive these frequencies to help them adjust. I've oversimplified this explanation.

So what I say is that there are certain places in nature, on the planet, where these healing vortexes are, and the magic meadow is one of those places. My healer in Houston and her mother, a healer, searched many areas of Houston, before being guided to an area where they could set up a practice and receive this healing energy to use in their treatments.

In the meadow, I again made some hatha yoga and swaying and twisting..I can't really explain it.(if you go to do this, don't wait to be instructed, you've just got to feel what your body wants and you will be following inner guidance) I just know it works. I was doing it for over an hour. My sense of smell came back to me as I pressed my nose to the lush meadow ground and I smelled the rich scents of so many herbs. I thought to myself..I must be able to eat all of these herbs! And I thought I've got to get in touch with some horticulterists..is that what they're called? and learn about all of the herbs here.

Then I layed out in the middle of the meadow in the sun, and began seeing The Jewel Project again. This time I imagined our Jewel Council meeting for the first time at the Gnostics property where Principe stays. This seems perfect to me. Because their community is so close to being what we envision and they have warmly invited me to stay whenever I want to.

There at the Gnostics, we could already be a Jewel community the way we've envisioned. We could work in the gardens, prepare meals together, eat together in the communal room,hold drumming circle and chanting under the still night sky,and walk the land in the Jewel valley with the Shepherd and other people of the community. Principe would also show us around! Perhaps we could also begin crafting for those ten days. As we craft our vision and our accountabilities, we could represent that in an artistic craft. The date I've selected for the Jewel Council to gather for the first time , is November 18th, a Yellow Seed Crystal day, my birthday. According to the 13 moon calendar, this is a day when people come together with their own gifts and resources to create a new vision, establishing new targets together in a united vision.

I hold this vision for the Jewel Council to meet on November 18th, 2006 in the valley of The Jewel, at the southern tip of Spain. I ask for guidance always, to open my eyes and my inner knowing, to see what's wanting to happen.
