 Empowerments
are methods of direct transmission of teachings & wisdom used by
many spiritual traditions. Empowerments convey energy and
authentic knowing through direct experience, and connection to vital
forces, states & dimensions of being, and the wisdom keepers
(deities) and spiritual lineage holders associated with those spiritual
traditions. They often incorporate initiatory platforms in their
transmission.
These initiations are opportunities for us to step into our authentic
power and knowing, within ourselves, an opportunity to 'prove'
ourselves to our selves, within our own essential being, and in our
connection to and relationship with the greater whole. The often
include revelational experiences.
 Empowerments
enable us to realize our authentic nature, and reach into our
potential, our spiritual authority and our dignity of spirit, which is
our inherent birthright.
Empowerments give us the opportunity to step into our own authentic
knowing, allowing us to enable and embody our true essence and
being. Most authentic teachers and spiritual traditions
incorporate this level of practice into their teachings.
Those who have worked with us, understand this is our fundamental
method of teaching. We have reached yet another level of
understanding and transmission, which will be incorporated in our fall
practice. While we respectfully suggest you find an authentic
teacher who brings you to this level of undestanding and experience, we
welcome you to join us in our fall and many other practices to reach
these greater experiences.
Many blessings

 I have realized more and more how the crystalline nature of the sun is so potent at this time of year.
Of course, it would make sense, this being the time the sun reaches its zenith in our hemisphere.
But, the highly charged atmosphere, especially on very clear days, is a
wonderful time to work with solar energy with its vital electricity,
nutrients, transformative and warming qualities.
This, really, begins every year around Imbolc (early Feb) when the sun is first returning from its winter depth.
In May, it brings more and more of its fertility to Earth, and is celebrated as such in most cultures of the world.
But as it reaches it peak as it approaches summer solstice, each year,
we an so easily feel the strength of the sun, and how it warms us.
It is an excellent time to really pay attention to, to feel, rest in,
and work with the crystalline nature of its light, and the rich power
of the 'vast blue empty sky,' which is  a
highly charged atmosphere of clear space around us during this
time. It is a powerful time to ally with the Divine Masculine and
Feminine, even as we see throughout nature.
Below I will share 3 practices you can do with these principles of Light and Sky.
But, this is also a time to ask those fundamental questions:
Who are we as individuals, and what is our purpose here?
 In
this time of profound transformation, communion with the Sun and Earth
can be catalysts for deeper understanding, and enrichment of our
experiences here.
Solstice is a time of high Solar Energy, and wakeful states of the Earth.
It
is a prime time to engage in communion exercises with Sun and
Earth. We can use these as portals to enhance our experiences
with the star, ancestral, and elemental kingdoms, as well.
Working with the fundamental essence of the elements alone can greatly
enrich our embodied experience.
Using the Sun, Earth, and Moon as gateways to the greater wisdom
potentials is a common practice in indigenous (shamanic) and wisdom
schools around the world, though I will not discuss this aspect in this
article.
The Sun in these times of solar height, here, at Solstice, can enrich
and invigor our physical, emotional, and spiritual being, just by
resting in its Light Principle.
The clarity of sun, space, and sky in these heightened days of sun is
profound. Find times during clear days to engage in these
practices. Its electric principle can clarify and charge our
field, and our states of consciousness, and being. It offers
direct charge or rejuvenation of our bio-field and cells, especially if
we collaborate with its inherent electric nature.
There are 3 practices for Self Generation (generating the inherent
qualities of Self (higher Self), and Light Activation with the sun in this article.
I referenced it in our recent newsletter, and it remains our most potent practice for this time.
Another extremely beneficial practice is the Vast Blue Empty Sky practice, offered here.
This is based in Tibetan Buddhist practice, and highly elevating.
For more on practices such as these please contact us for individual sessions or participation in our ongoing practices.
We wish you great joy and happiness during these rich summer months.
And
we highly recommend you do understand, these are times of great
transformation, prophesied by cultures world wide, eons ago. We
are in these times. The signs are upon us. The Elders are
speaking.
When we realize this, we can take responsibility
for our experiences and actions, and engage with the many others who
are creating the New Earth.
Many blessings in your journey!!

Why Sound, Healing and Consciousness?
|
The
coherence and interweaving of the nature of Sound, Healing, and
Consciousness is fundamental to our experience as human and spiritual
beings, to the very nature of the manifest world, and our relationship
to the greater Cosmos.
More
and more science is bringing us into a richer understanding and
authentic relationship with this knowing, and the traditional teachings
of mystic and wisdom cultures of the world, who offered us this
'knowing' long ago, as many cultures' teachings and teachers do today.
What is this inter-relationship of sound, of healing, and the fundamental nature of consciousness. "What is healing?", is a fundamental question not even offered or asked, in many holistic healing modalities today.
How
can we know the nature of healing, and its inter-relationship with the
vibratory principles of light and consciousness, and sound and life
force, if we do not explore it in our work!?
These
principles of sound and light, magnetic and electric, life force and
consciousness, the intermingling of the Shiva-Shakti union in perfect
manifest harmony as expressed through the Hindu, and other cultures by
other names, is the very nature of Creation.
How do we relate? What is our part?
How do we utilize these principles?
Please read our articles on this subject, starting here:
and,
Consciousness is the Activating Principle
You
are the act of healing, because you hold healing integral in your
essence, in what you are emanating into the world, in your knowing and
in your actions, as you step into the world, as you step into the space
of therapeutic healing, as you carry yourself in your every thought and
action.
You can come from a place of wanting and wounding, or you can step into your knowing and power.
The choice is yours.
SOUND is the Carrier Wave
Sound is the key elemental (life) force
to carry it into essential being
