~What is Going On, and What We Can Do About It~
-In these times of extraordinary Human Awakening-

This is an in depth, 2 day practice
Held at the BLACK MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY

 
This program will fill, and will be
Zacciah's only program in NC before summer or fall, 2010

You will want to participate in this work.
For this program, register with The Center of Light staff in Vermont.

 


The djed is an Egyptian term for the primary energy vessels in the human etheric energy body, or system.  Both the spinal column, and the shushumna, or pranic tube, are referred to as the Djed.
Raising the Djed is a method of cultivating awareness and energy in its base, and raising it up the spinal column or pranic tube, much like raising one's kundalini.
When this is coupled with opening to, and activating, one's sacred center of individual evolved, or Divine consciousness, which resides above the crown, we are capable of extraordinary awakening.
We will be working with explicit understanding of the vibrational nature of higher states of consciousness to raise this vital energy and awareness up the djed into ever evolved states of being.  We shall engage in direct initiations into, and understanding of how to, fuse this elevated state into our highest celestial consciousness.
The methods used can assist both in personal and planetary evolution.

We shall end with methods of how to engage in planetary service to more fully understand how to seed these states into a collective awakening.


    You have heard about, and may or may not be deeply involved in, the current transformation or evolution of planetary consciousness.  What is going on?  Many report sleep and memory disorders, unusual energy shifts and mood swings, perhaps often tired, overwhelmed, stress building in the body, unusual physical symptomology, so many in our lives passing on, or perhaps unusual spontaneous awakenings, insight, or feelings of happiness, bliss, ecstasy, deep peaceful states, even inner sight.  At a national, international, and cultural level, there are so many shifts, collapse of structures and systems we are used to, planetary chaos, wars, famine, ecological devastation.  What is going on?
 
What can we do to assist in this time of tremendous change and upheaval,
either from a personal or planetary perspective?  Why do so many of us have sudden inclinations to change our lives, or to become healers or facilitators for others, during these changes as they we see them arising planetarily.
We will review up to date information from science, psychics, indigenous elders and leading edge teachers in the fields of human consciousness development; we shall explore awareness techniques to assist in this time of incredible change and transformation.
 
Zacciah Blackburn is an intuitive sound master, working with integral states of consciousness for over 34 years.  He will offer insight, take questions, and guide us in inner explorations via Sacred Sound Transmissions, and direct initiations from the subtle planes of awakened consciousness, which allow us to see into the other worlds, receive direct guidance, and view our life situation in more bountiful ways.  These Sacred Sound practices will offer opportunity for practical application of exercises to relax, nourish, connect, and gain deeper insight relevant to our life and well being, as well as explicit practice to raise personal vibration, and initiation into sacred states of Being.
 
Many who know, say this is primary to what is needed as we enter these times many refer to as  the time of the Lifting the Veils (the Apocalypse,) the Ascension, the Awakening, or, as the Peruvians call it, "the Time of Meeting Ourselves Again."
Zacciah will draw from the wealth of his esoteric teachings, and focus on practices his inner teachers offer in relation to raising personal and planetary frequencies, a step necessary for us to pass this threshold of human transformation.

It is truly time we engage in this work, of uplifting ourselves, and consequently, all humanity, into frequencies of harmony and well being for the whole planet.  Indeed our lives, and choices, effect life far beyond our planet.

Zacciah Blackburn is a highly skilled intuiive teacher and guide in sound healing and esoteric awareness practices for true awakening of consciousness.  He has worked in the field for over 3 decades, offers a 3 year program in therapeutic sound healing practices, and teaches internationally a variety of esoteric trainings in consciousness and earth healing practices.
He is Director of Education for the International Sound Healing Network.

Zacciah's work has long focused on the emerging transformation of human consciousness.
This work, Raising the Djed, begins a new series of programs explicit to this new era of awakening which humanity is entering, with explicit steps to assist in this personal and collective awakening, long prophecied by many cultures of the world.

Thursday's introduction, Awakening the Djed, will offer keen insight into the nature of this incredible threshold of awakening, upon which humanity stands poised.     Friday's Sound Healing Training is

These two introductory programs will be held at the
UR Light Center in Black Mountain.
The full two day workshop, RAISING THE DJED,
will be held at the Black Mountain Sanctuary.
Please be sure you are not confused by these two locations, both in Black Mountain, NC
.

The Djed programs will bring you to ecstactic states of well being, in which you will have the opportunity to feel the blessings of the highest dominions of consciousness.

We highly recommend that all those seeking to truly understand or experience the Awakened states of human consciousness, which are our true potential as Divine human beings, participate in this extraordinary work.

This practice is the first full length program offering of these highly guided intuitive sound transmissions, which bring us into direct contact with 'holy beings,' who are the ascended masters of ancient cultures, angels and allies of the celestial and ancestral realms of subtle planes of existence, which the Tibetans call the "Pure Realms of Light and Sound." 
It is a rare opportunity to engage in this work, and probably the last opportunity to experience Zacciah's work in North Carolina for another year.

The ILLUMINATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
   The pathway to entering and sustaining illuminated states of awareness

With Master Sound Healer & Intuitive Guide

This program offers an explicit meditative technique which opens one's potential for accelerated learning of the inner skills of mastery of one's subtle senses known as the "Siddhis."  It involves "seeding" of our psychic centers with power phrases which assist in this accelerated opening and empowerment.

The power of sacred sound transports us into other worldly understanding, direct experience of the subtle realms of consciousness, and the hidden dimensions of our being.  They provide profound opportunities for deep initiatory processes, and awakening, unlike few other practices are able to offer.

This program contains sacred sound transmissions, which will further our opportunity to receive and be directly empowered by the lineage carriers of this tradition.

Join with us, in this special time.

These are excellent times to engage in practices to abide within the self, to turn deeper within, to gain insight and awareness directly from the subtle worlds, to align with personal higher consciousness, and the guides of the subtle worlds of being.
These are ancient practices to awaken the subtle senses, align with Self, and invigorate and restore balance, health, and well being within us.

These potent meditations can align us with the deep stirring of our own being, enabling us to see into the other worlds, peer through the veils, see the mysteries prior hidden to us, both within ourselves, and within the greater cosmos.  They also serve to enliven our awareness and physiology, to restore balance and harmony again.

We welcome you to join us!
----------------------

These are special days to begin or continue our work in Sacred Alchemy,
 the Transformation of Consciousness.

It is time we come forward to touch and sustain our Greater Sanctity. 
The Elders of all cultures are telling us the time is now, we have entered the Illumined Doorway: 
We must utilize our abilities to move into heightened & ecstatic states of awareness
to fully bring the world into its own natural and evolutionary state.



Those whom have not yet attended our programs, will find this a most profoundly moving experience.  Those whom know what to expect, still, often find more than expected.

These programs are for those truly ready to enter and explore deep states of affinity, of connection, of healing, integrity, and commitment to their own authentic being.

The iniations involved, are for those ready to take responsbility for their own life conditions, for those preparing for their own highest evolution, within this life time, and ready to step forward in their greater life work.  Come if you feel called.

 These programs are designed to guide us into a sacred state of being and consciousness. Most participants report experiences unlike any they have had.
”Life Transforming,” “Deeply moving and Healing” -are quotes often heard from participants.

We look forward to sharing in these programs with you.

Many blessings to all.
