PRAYERS For the Earth 1

If you did not see last month's article on the Hidden Treasures of the Earth, and information on our new Sacred Tour programs, please look below, or in full, here

• We send our prayers to the family and loved ones of Maya Elder (AJ Q¨IJ) Gerardo Kanek Barrios, who passed this week.  Gerardo has done a great deal to pass the teachings and principles of the mysteries on to many others.  We send him prayers of light in his continued journeys into the other realms.
• We, also, send our prayers to the families and loved ones suffering in Japan.  Specific to these growing events, we offer the practice to your right>>>
• and additional thoughts below, regarding these times of profound change and transformation.

So much is happening these days, worldwide, from revolution to evolution.  Take your pick; Libya, Egypt, Japan, Chile, New Zealand, Haiti, Peru, and the growing tremors of earth activity, continued patterns of extraordinary weather activity, solar activity, human activity. 

It is time to take your pick.  To hold on when you are no longer, if ever, in synch with the needs of one self, or others; the people you serve, Omar; or, to let go of that which is no longer serving you, or the greater whole, that you may make room for yours, and our (collective), greater evolutionary spiral, for that beauty and richness waiting to come into your life now.

To focus on the chaos, or the beauty; upon  the control, or the vast richness; the stress or the state of harmony, joy and gratitude.  During times of chaos and suffering it appears more challenging to find that point of focus.  Yet, these are the times we are being called to host our highest potential, to be of service, to see the Beauty in things, as a Gateway, and example, for others to enter into the higher resonance, the higher form of the evolutionary spiral of human existence, to help them out of their suffering, as well. 

Simple prayer and affirmation can do so much.  SEE OUR PRAYER KEEPER OFFERING IN THE RIGHT COLUMN of this news>>>!

It is a most powerful and beneficial time to tune into the higher harmonies, rather than being distracted by the intensities appearing in the gross physical.  Take right action as called to do so.  Yet, to not continue in the ways which do not serve one's own growth, much less the benefit of the greater good.

The moons, the Maya Calendar days, the growing energies of Solstice and Equinox (coming up just next week,) and Cross Calendar days, the days of synchronous rhythem (11.11.11), all offer exponentially greater opportunities to meet and merge with our higher form.  Yet, any day, any time is a good time to do so. 

In these changing times, take time to generate goodness in your thoughts and actions, toward yourself and others; to nourish yourself when you find yourself in situations where others are not doing so; to let go of judgment, blame, or criticism, of trying to hold others responsible for your misfortunes; to claim responsibility for your own life, and the circumstances you find yourself in, (this gives you the freedom to make choices that are more conscious and fulfilling,) to claim the beauty and abundance in your life, no matter how small you may currently view that.  There is always a place to hold gratitude.  Hold onto that patch of grass, nourish it, and grow it into a lush garden.  Even if the snows and cold rains are with us this day.  Breathe the beauty and wonder beneath it all.Take time today.

Our articles and recent newsletters are full of suggestions and practices to assist you.We'll talk more in the near future, and offer more insight and practices to assist.
The reality is, no matter how small you view your gifts, they tend to match your offerings.

The more you give, the greater your abundance.  The treasures should not be measured in material wealth. 

These golden realms, (The Diamond Realms!) hold so much already in store for us, should we simply make offering, make room for the Beloved (see next week's news article), and see the realities of our own higher evolutionary form, already in place, already waiting for us, just simply in dormancy, ready to unfold!If we do not perceive it, it is because we do not focus upon that!

We focus upon the realms and rules from which the suffering occurs.
Focus on the realms of the riches, and THAT shall be SO!(See, also, our Hidden Treasures article from last week.)

The understanding and practices we offer, can assist us in uncovering the many hidden treasures within our own consciousness, as well as those awaiting in the other worlds of great Beauty and Wonder.  We offer these practices and writings as a service to the World Community.

But, we each have these tools within us!Until we fully understand this, it can be of great benefit, though, to work with facilitators who can assist us in gathering and garnering this understanding, to more fully embody it.

The Elders tell us, this is what is in store for us, the other worlds of great Beauty and Wonder.  But, we must collaborate to establish them as our Reality.

The suffering is just an illusion, that can serve to awaken us into the Great Majesty and Beauty of who we truly are, as well as the stunning incredible Beauty and Richness of the Vastness of all Creation, of which we have, for the vast part, especially as a culture, quite ignored.

It is not that the world of suffering is not real.It is that

1) It is not necessary,

2) It is illusionary in nature, in that it is only a relative reality, not an absolute reality,

3) We have the perfect option of not suffering,

4) or, of living in a world without suffering,

5) or, of living in a world without suffering ourself, even if others choose to, and can assist them to overcome their own suffering,

and, 

6) This world of suffering is only a small segment of reality.7) We can choose the greater reality.

8) And, suffering will end as we do so.
We shall speak more to these subjects as time permits, or as Spirit informs.

Each of our programs are full of the riches and treasures disseminated from the other realms.  What can be spoken cannot fully imbue that which can be given in person.

Many blessings in your journeys,

Zacciah

The richness of the gifts.

Gifts of the Earth.

They await us.  ...... and grace.

The Earth is alive.

Did we not know it?

Come we here to sit again, to listen, and observe.

Come we here to feel the pulse and rhythm again; we shall know, the Mysteries buried herein.

_______________________________

There is an ancient way of knowing, buried in the mysteries of the Earth, waiting for us to uncover them; for those of us ready and able to do so, when the Time is Ripe.  We all have this potential.

The Time is Ripe, in this Time of Great Awakening.  

The Ancient Ones, the Wise Ones of so many ancient cultures, created methods of preserving their ancient knowledge that defies modern thinking or science.

These ancient Gifts of Knowledge are spoken about my many cultures.  They may be found in a physical location, or through subtle realm awareness, available to any who cultivate mindful realization, to align with their essential nature (the hidden mysteries.)

.......................................

They are available to us, still. Should we wish, in Right Relation, with Right Attitude, to enter into them.

They hold enormous reverence and precious regard for life, and, are keys to entering and attaining our own illumination.

With precious attitude, in alignment with the fundamental resonance of life, we can enter into these precious states.

And, receive the Gifts of Illumination which await us there.

We invite you to participate in these Sacred Journeys, to enter the Gateways of the Earth, and experience her vast Wisdom and Beauty.

~THE PRAYERKEEPERS ~PRAYERS FOR THE EARTH~

Friends

This began as a short news update, and has, through the recent events, turned into something more.  I have been asked to share with you a special method of sending prayers into the world.
With all that is going on in the world, and is likely to continue to occur, if not grow more frequent, this simple practice can cause real and lasting ending to suffering on this sacred Earth.

A short video explaining the basic steps of the practice is below, also.  Though, this article goes into more specific detail.

This method was given to me through emissaries of the Bear Medicine Clan, and is specific to the lineages of those Ancient Ones, or Ancestors, of the StarNations, known as the Pleidians.

I have rarely shared it, and this is the first time to do so in such a public manner.  It is a method that I ask one approach with utmost respect, integrity and humility.  The method will not work except when one holds genuine prayers for the welfare of others, and wishes to make those prayers manifest.
The PrayerKeepers are a group of luminous (holy) beings, who are devoted to the service of others, through bringing one's prayers into manifestation.  They are a most potent group of allies and holy beings, in service to the planetary good.

Again, this will only work when one sends prayers for the benefit of others.
I will guide you through a basic practice.

When seeking to be of service to others, to send prayers, enter into a sacred state of prayerful attitude, or right mindfulness.  In this particular method, one should insure one is insulated from outside disturbance.  It can be done alone, or with others.  Any preparation that will assist you to enter a deep state of prayerfulness is appropriate.  Light a candle.  Burn sage or other sacred herbs.  Put on quieting music, if this assists you to come into inner awareness.

Come into the heart, and begin feeling a genuine sense of care, concern, and/or compassion for those you wish to send prayers to.  You may, if you wish, imagine the circumstances of those to whom you are seeking to send prayers and relief.  Imagine them with all your heart and mind, their suffering, and your genuine wish to cause relief of their suffering.

Then, imagine the luminous form of a bear before you.  It can be any shape or color you wish.  It was a grandmother of the black bear clan who brought this practice to me.

Simply imagine this, if you are not able to directly perceive it.  A bear coming before you.  It is luminous in form.  It may appear real and 3D, but is of the other worlds. By imagining it in a luminous form, this will assist you to 'tune into' the subtle worlds of perception, and make the experience more vivid and real.

This is much like an invocation.  Call forward the power of Bear through imagining an image of luminous Bear before you.  You can speak to the power of the Medicine of Bear, and invite it into your presence, into the room, for the purpose of planetary healing.

(Imagine the form of a bear, which is glowing with light, or luminous form, arising from the etheric, or subtle, worlds, before you.  You do not have to see anything.  Just imagine what it would feel like, if this Bear were to appear to you, as if it were appearing to you.)

You may experience a chasm, a void, a doorway on the other side of the bear, from which it arises.  You will access the PrayerKeepers through this abyss on the other side.  You do not have to be aware of it.  I am just affirming that some of you may, or will, experience this.  They reside within the Earth, awaiting our prayers.  They have worked with ancient peoples for eons, and remain, patiently, awaiting our alliance and communion, and inter-relationship with them, again.  Once we start sending our prayers, they will arise or appear beyond the Bear. 

Again, from within your heart, imagine the suffering of those you wish to send prayers to.  Come into a deep sense of care, concern, or compassion for their well being.  Imagine the result you wish to hold within your heart, what would the result of your prayers look like, feel like?  Imagine that, then beging to send your prayers for their well being through this image or imagined sense of this Bear.

Send your prayers through this image, this Being, this point of connection to the Medicine qualities of the Bear clan, or you can send through this image, into the worlds beyond this image, or the Earth below.  It is your point of connection, that will most assist you in this practice.  We may each experience it slightly differently.  Do not hold on to the form I am presenting to you, when another form arises.

Feel into where the connection is made.  Through the luminous form of the Bear, or in the space, the void, the abyss behind him/her, or directly with the Holy Ones who appear beyond Bear.

Until you make this connection, you may have to use your powers of imagination.  But these are powerful tools of consciousness to invoke, and to align or attune with the powers of subtle consciousness, or the subtle worlds, the Medicine worlds.  Ask for the clear intent of your prayers to be heard, and to be gathered, received, and taken to those in need, through the Spirit of the PrayerKeepers.

Your ability to do this, to see or feel into other worlds, is far less important than your authentic desire to be of service to others, and to have your prayers heard.  The authentic feeling states of care and compassion for others, and the articulation of your prayers, is what is of utmost importance.  Do not worry about exact language of that prayer.  The simplest words stating the authentic feelings carry the potency of the prayer, beyond most of our beliefs and understanding.

Imagine these holy beings arising from the Earth before you, just beyond where Bear was/is standing.  Imagine them receiving your prayers, and sending them, carrying them, into the world to make them manifest, to MAKE THEM SO!
It is my experience, that as we send our prayers to them, which, also, requires us to then let our prayers go, the PrayerKeepers rise up in droves to carry them to the hearts and minds of others, and to insure their manifestation.

Again, they are powerful allies of the medicine world, whom can be called upon at any time.
They are waiting for us.

As you know, we are in a time, where the suffering of the world, is being unleashed.   While there has always been suffering, I have always been told by my teachers, that it has been, in large part, held at bay by those known as the Watchers and Keepers, in the ethereal worlds, overseeing the well being of humanity. 

At this time, we are being called into manifestation of all karmic retributions, and is a primary point why so much is occurring in such a short time now, as well as why karmic manifestation is happening in ever quicker time sequences.  One of the best ways to 'burn' karma, to transform it, according to Buddhist understanding, is to pray for the transformation of suffering of others.
May we learn these tools effectively.

Again, the PrayerKeepers are awaiting us.

Please share this prayer method with others.  I do ask that you include the credit at the bottom of this article.
