Choosing to Reveal Our Pain
(and the new hope behind it)
Dear Friends.
I'm preparing to travel to Portland, Oregon for a weekend of
sound healing events. But the impressive and oppressive
energies of the past week have me feeling like a quick,
short note might be of use.
I live in a small town near Detroit. The 'doom and gloom'
that has set in here is not just from the lack of sunshine
this fall, but from the overall emotional field of those
living here. And we are not alone!
In choosing Barack Obama as President, we also chose to
reveal and purge emotional pain. This pain, literally,
dolor, has not had permission to be expressed by the mass
consciousness fully and completely. In fact, suppressing it
has been rewarded, unconsciously, in our society. When was
the last time you saw a commercial on TV suggesting a good
cry and journaling rather than buying something?
Well, no longer. It's coming up and out. Many people who are
feeling this inner pain don't know how to express it. When I
experience someone's anger or road rage, it feels like an
attempt to shake off the emotional energy oozing out of a
deep inner wound. And I just happen to be around at the
moment they are trying to be rid of it.
Mary and Archangel Michael gave me this idea, when I asked
what the workshops and concert was about this weekend in
Portland:
When we turn our
hearts off, besieged by horror stories of violence and
dismal economic forecasts, we shut off our natural conduit
to Spirit / God / All That Is. The heart opens in the
presence of compassion and kindness. This leads to the
manifestation of circumstances and things we 'hope' for.
So please, if you
are feeling drawn, come, help me 'hope' our new world into
existence. We do this together. My favorite song from the
concert I'm preparing includes this text by Hildegard. I
dedicate it to all those men who have already taken the
hero's journey so that they might now be with other men who
are painfully, but willingly awakening, and standing in
their own true light.
O worthy men,
who pass into the hidden places,
beholding through spirit's eyes
and announcing from the shining mist,
the living and quickening light,
which begins upon a branch,
flowering only at the entrance of the original light.
You ancient saints,
who foretold the salvation
of those exiled souls,
who were immersed in death,
and you who spun in circles,
weaving wonderful tales of this mystical mountain,
that reaches to heaven,
passing into and anointing the many waters,
while among you
arises the clear light,
by which this mountain
is proceeded, and is revealed.
Follow your heart' truly means to follow the guidance that
has already been placed within you. How else can Spirit
speak to you, but through this gift given to you? One is
never afraid of one's strength when that strength comes from
a heart in true alignment with Spirit.
Blessings to everyone, and my fondest wishes for
each.

This
month's Sound Healing is: Seculorum (of this
world)
As we place
ourselves upon the Earth, wherever it is that we live, our
bodies become the conduits through which Heaven speaks to
Earth, and Earth replies to Heaven. Here is a song of their
overheard conversation.
This sound healing
comes from a live Candlelight Concert of Healing Chants.
---You can see
it, along with
other chants now on YouTube
---Or listen
to it as
an mp3.
