After the ups and downs of May and early June, I was pleased to see that once the new moon passed, the energy settled a little.  I was no longer driven to get things done, but still managed to.

I had taken a few weeks off from healing so that I could paint (wall kind of painting) but I began to miss the energy of Reiki healing. So asking for some students to appear, got me just that.  Then last week, I had two more wonderful women for the Munay-Ki rites and we spent three days in bliss and joy as we worked our way through the 9 Rites. What a gift to have students who really embrace the rites and are so committed to their path of learning. I invited my friend Katie along as she has a missing Pi stone and needed to charge up a new one.  Pi stones do that sometimes, they just leave for a while and then reappear when you least expect them to.

After that amazing three days, Katie and I headed off to Island Bridges ~  a gathering of people mostly working in the wholistic healing field, who retreat to the Native Healing Centre for a weekend of self-care. The venue, after 22 years on Meares Island, has now moved to the new healing centre, Kackaamin, here in Port Alberni. A beautiful place indeed.

My draw to the weekend was the anticipation of the Sweat Lodge. I had not been to a sweat for a few years now and they are great facilitators for rebirth.

We were lucky to have two lodge leaders:  J C, a Hesquiaht medicine man, and Munro, a Gaelic Shaman.

Speaking for myself, I can only say ~WOW!  Those sweats – I did three – cleaned me out, recharged me and allowed my vibrations to soar where I was gifted with many visions of beauty.

The weekend had many other high points, and I fully intend to return next year for this wonderful time.  I was reminded how our guides and masters love it when we gather in groups and send our prayers, love, light and laughter radiating out over the planet.

Returning home on Sunday, gave me time to prepare for the Solstice Celebration on Monday. Our group grew from the equinox gathering and we all celebrated the healing of the waters of the planet, particularly the Gulf of Mexico.

No matter what goes on there, group consciousness, group love, group light, singing, toning, drumming and seeing the Gulf in all its pristine beauty, free from strife, will do more for Gaia, our Beloved Mother Earth, than focussing on the negative will.  That is all that is asked of us now, to send love, to be love and to live love. Our planet, all those planets and stars around us, right down through to the crystal core of our own Mother Earth, responds to love. This power is unmeasurable.

There are so many exciting dates coming up where the universal energy is working to help raise our consciousness so that we feel this love always. June 26 is a full moon, lunar eclipse with 7 planets aligning to form a Grand Cross.

The OM crystal at Mt. Shasta is emitting another stronger wave of Hope and Unconditional Love, so that we may tap into, and be in, this energy. 

On July 11 there is a solar eclipse.  Each of these events is here to aid us on our path.  The path of peace and harmony, the path of Ascension.

Please take 5 minutes, better yet, take 30 minutes a day out of your hectic lives and sit quietly in meditation, or in silence and feel love, send it out to all of humanity, all of our kingdoms and rejoice, knowing you have done your part. Doing this will indeed improve your own lives in ways you can’t imagine.  What we send out, is what we get back.  What a great way to live!  Namesté, Kate
