These notes were especial to preparation to Sekhmet April 5-6, but are relevant to all spring programs, and their moons, 2008. Friends You are registered in our program this coming Saturday-Sunday, August 2-3; The ChristHeart Initiations: Upon The Wings of Magdalene; in East Longmeadow, MA, Program Times are: Sat , 10-6; Sun , 10-4 The program is being held at the: Quantum Life Management Center See details below We look forward to you joining us in this extraordinary and enriching program! The potency and purity of the heart of Magdalene, especially, has been preparing me for this upcoming training, and I can only imagine the power which she shall ask to be expressed through this work, to assist us to come into clarity, purity, and expression of the refined being within our own heart. The Initiations of the ChristHeart, themselves, are potent tools for access and understanding of the greater principals of universal Love. I am sincerely looking forward to this opportunity to engage and share with you! This e-mail includes a preparatory message on the nature of this program, the Moons, the times under which we are gathering; directions to the site, snacks, meals, Zacciah's time at the training, upcoming programs, and other pertinent information.

If you wish additional information on the nature of the program, not in this mail, especially on the call to World Service, please visit Zacciah's website at: http://www.thecenteroflight.net/Christheart.html Feel free to forward this mail to others you feel might benefit from this information. This program will be held at the: Quantum Life Management Center 30 Westwood Ave. East Longmeadow, MA 01028 For information relating to the center not contained in this mail, please contact: Brenda Edwards 413-526-9840 trusttmac@aol.com For map and driving directions to the center in East Longmeadow: http://www.quantumlifemanagement.com/page31/page31.html Please contact us for any other specific program questions after reading this information. Openings do remain, if you have others interested in joining us. Please have them contact us! (You may qualify for a program discount upon refering new attendees to this program.) Those of you whom have attended Zacciah's programs in the past know the extraordinary nature of these programs. Those who have not, be prepared for a potent opportunity for self and planetary transformation. A Note on These Special Times, From Zacciah: These programs offer a rich dynamic opportunity to enter into awakened states of consciousness, understand more about our innate self, and relationship to the greater whole, as well as each other. This is an auspicious time astrologically, to go into transformational work. Elders the world over are telling us this, and acquainting us with their people's prophecies. Zacciah's work has more and more embodied the very nature and messages of these prophecies, the awakening of the soul, the awakening of the planet, deep relationship with the Earth and Cosmos, realignment with the Ancestral and Elemental consciousness, and so much more. We will engage in these particular practices during the gateway of Lammas, a powerful energetic gateway used by indigenous peoples as one of the Cross Quarter days, understood to be a potent time for ceremony, which specifically honors the rich bounty of the Earth & Heavens. It occurs, rarely at the time of a New Moon of Leo, with a full solar eclipse, moving toward a full moon/lunar eclipse in Aquarius in mid-August. This is a most powerful time, which asks us to relinquish ourself in service to the greater good. The Moons As Allison Rae of www.StarPriestess.com says,
We have set a time for these programs in direct harmony with universal support and will. In alignment with these principals, we also have an incredible opportunity to enter into World Service. This is a deeply significant practice to relieve suffering in the world. (Read full program notes, to understand the nature of this service, calling our healing potential forward, to heal the trauma inflicted upon the Divine feminine principal, to bring it into alignment, and deeper awakening. See: http://www.thecenteroflight.net/Christheart.html) It is part of our stated intent in offering this deeply transformative work with the Heart of the World. It is through our acts of humanity and compassion that we come into fullness in our own power, in this place and time. It is through our acts of service to others that we pass through the veils of our own mortality and smallness, to touch upon the greatness of the stars, the holy beings, and all that we are. Through this CALL TO HUMANITY, to assist in the healing of the planet, especially through the imprint of the Divine Feminine, we shall come closer to stand in our own authenticity and power, to come more fully to know who we truly are. The Elders are telling us, it is through the healing of the Divine Feminine, we shall awaken as a whole. The power of the work we are offering is becoming more and more evident to those participating. The Earth, the elders, the elements, the ancestors, all, are responding. We welcome you to join us. You will find additional information and links to good on line sources of information on these moons, which we refered to, at the bottom of this mail. I ask that you: Bring a clear spirit ready to share and learn, and ready to be transformed. This is, for most individuals, powerfully transformative work. You can assist your own participation to be in its fullest potential, if you take some time for preparation.
I, also, highly suggest you plan ample time after each day, and, if possible, after the end of the program, to relax into, and integrate, the deep and rich tapestry of energies you are likely to find yourself bathing in at the end of each day of this program. It will assist you over rushing back into your everyday lives. Also, be attentive, that you will not re-enter your life as you were before the program. You will, most of us, be in a more elevated and awakened state of being. Be kind to yourself, and to others, and take time with any life altering decisions. Others in your life may not realize that you are in a different place. We recommend you hold compassion in relations with others. We offer our humble thanks for your participation in this great work, and send you Many Blessings! This is not just about personal transformation, but in doing the work which will bring us into balance and harmony with universal principals, incorporating those principals into our lives, and bringing them forward into all our relations, in service to this great time of transformation for the entire planet. Many teachers speak to this time as important to the harmonic unfolding at levels even beyond our imagination, at universal proportions. Each step we take is important and beneficial, beyound our normal understanding, to the unfolding of harmonic principals within the universe itself. I dearly look forward to seeing you so many of you again, meeting new faces, and working with you these two precious days!! In a sacred way, we offer these trainings for our own elevation, and for the awakening of all humanity. May we each serve in our own capacity for this. For each step we take, each action, in harmony with the Whole, we do indeed assist all others in their own capacity for development. Other Notes: Accommodations If you need, but have not planned accomodations, a simple web search for "hotels, or motels, in Springfield, MA," will bring you ample assortment of places to stay. MEALS Meals are not provided with this course. We will gather in community restaurants for meals on both Sat and Sun. You may join us, find your own restaurant, or bring your own meal. A refrigerator is available for any foods you bring. Arrival: FIND DIRECTIONS AT: http://www.quantumlifemanagement.com/page31/page31.html Plan on arriving 15 minutes early, so we can settle in, and start in a timely manner. To Bring: Plan on comfortable clothes. Chairs are provided. Bring a cushion or backjack if you wish to sit on the floor. Bring a notepad and pen if you choose to take notes or journal. Many find this valuable, and we do occasionally use journaling after a practice as a technique to move deeper into the work. . Sound Though Zacciah utilizes sound during practices, you are not required to join in any sound work. There usually are opportunities to join with simple voice exercises. We often use a simple guided chant or are asked to make a sound from the heart to give voice to our feelings. However, there is no need for any kind of training or need to have "a voice". All it takes is an authentic heart to easily join in. The manner in which Zacciah uses sound is different than most people have experienced. It is coupling sound with heightened states of consciousness, which allows others to more readily enter into advanced states of awareness. It is not an experience that can easily be described. Yet, it is not uncommon for participants to come away feeling deeply transformed. Zacciah uses, primarily, his voice, but does, also, use a variety of sound instruments (Crystal and Tibetan bowls, bells, Native drums, rattles, etc.) While there may be the possibility to join in a chant with your own drum or rattle, it will not be a major focus of the work in this practice. You can learn more about the nature of Sacred Sound as Zacciah uses it at: http://thecenteroflight.net/Articles.html http://thecenteroflight.net/AboutUs.html Snacks: We are not yet aware if our hosts are providing any snacks or refreshments. We apologize for this oversight in communication. If we can find out before Friday, we will communicate this to you. We otherwise recommend you either contact Brenda yourself, or simply bring what you need to be comfortable through the day. Feel free to bring a snack or refreshment to share with others. We take shorter breaks every 1-1.5 hrs. Lunch is usually at 1 or 1:30 each day, so be sure to eat a healthy breakfast, and/or bring something to attend to your needs accordingly during breaks. Musical Instruments, BOOKS, CD's, tools and accessories for healing: Zacciah offers a large variety of intentional healing music on CD's, as well as books, and musical/sound healing instruments for sale. Many of our instruments are visible on line, which you may view at www.sunreed.com. We focus on world instruments, as well as those for the sound healing professional. We will bring a variety of instruments, books, CD's, crystals and other tools for wellness to this program. If there are any specific items you would like us to bring, please let us know as soon as possible. You may always order instruments for shipment to your home, or for us to bring with us at this training. Zaccciah's Time: For those whom have not worked with Zacciah before, you will find him to be most amicable and approachable during class time and long breaks. During classes, he carries a good deal of energy for the entire group.
If your personal question cannot be asked in group time, it is probably not appropriate to ask outside of the program during Zacciah's personal or group sharing time. We appreciate your understanding. Upcoming Programs Several times a year we offer programs in our ILLUMINATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS Series, utilizing the tools of the Egyptian Pantheon, and other esoteric schools of learning. We hope to continue programs in this area, and hope you can assist us by sharing your experience with others. You may subscribe to our newsletters for all up to date information, or ask to be on a regional notice list. (Send us a note, or for the full newsletter, send a blank mail to: Zacciah_Blackburn-on@mail-list.com ) Upcoming programs include:

Again, we look forward to seeing & working with each of you!!! Expect a nourishing and enriching journey together.... Blessings to each of you!! Zacciah, and Staff The Center of Light Zacciah Blackburn The Center of Light Institute of Sound Healing and Shamanic Studies http://www.thecenteroflight.net/ Ascutney, VT 05030 802.674.9585 info@sunreed.com The Moons As Allison Rae of www.StarPriestess.com says, This Friday's Total Solar Eclipse says, "Open to the infinite possibilities accessible through the heart." Path of the Heart This Friday's Total Solar Eclipse says, "Open to the infinite possibilities accessible through the heart." Eclipses involve the play of shadow and light. In a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks the light of the Sun. In a lunar eclipse, the reflected light of the Sun is blocked by the Earth, creating a shadow across the Moon. These are powerful times for clearing, release, balance and integration, both individually and collectively. There's a foretelling of the August eclipses in the mysterious language of crop circles. Eclipse glyphs appeared in the fields of England last month, hinting at the significance of the alignments. The August 1 Solar Eclipse occurs on the traditional Lammas gateway, one of the four Greater Sabbats in Wiccan practice originating in the British Isles. Divine intelligence is asking us to pay attention. Cosmic Crossroads As a species, we're crossing the threshold of a new beginning through the 2012 portal. The Age of Aquarius and the World of the Fifth Sun are whisper-close. The darkness of Kali Yuga is giving way to the light of Satya Yuga. The August 1 eclipse is an important crossroads along the way. Rarely does an eclipse align so perfectly with a cross-quarter gateway, the powerful mid-points between Solstices and Equinoxes. This spectacle will be visible in nothern Canada, Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia and China, where the Olympic games will begin on August 8. A partial lunar eclipse follows, on August 16. Both eclipses straddle the Leo-Aquarius polarity, encouraging each of us to embody and express Divine Love more fully, in service to humanity and the needs of the collective. Unlike previous so-called "power dates" for weddings, gambling and the like (6-6-06, 7-7-07, etc.), the numerology of the date August 8, 2008, actually does resolve to an "8," the symbol of infinity and number of manifestation, and it falls midway between the two eclipses. The Bottom Line There's magic, excitement and untold potential in all this. Also responsibility. We create through our thoughts, and it's extra-important to maintain positive intent throughout this period, especially during the eclipse portals listed below. Meditation, ceremony and ritual are especially potent at these times. As we transition to the next world age, what are we focused on? What are we creating? Will we choose Love? This is one of the most meaningful opportunities in recent years to step into your power, embody the great perfection of who you are, and activate a fuller expression of the divine blueprint encoded in your DNA. As we each align with Divine Will through these portals, a new matrix is activated, transforming the human race to an enlightened species that will choose peace and prosperity and freedom for all. What's Up Similar issues come around for further "work" with eclipse cycles, so we may find ourselves dealing with challenges from the past, even things we thought were aleady resolved. Eclipse cycles are six months and 19 years, so issues that were up in February 2008, and all the way back to 1989, will be revisited. Let's hope we're approaching these challenges from a more evolved place this time around. What was happening for you back in February this year, and/or in 1989, that's coming to fruition or final resolution now? Collectively, 1989 was a year of revolution, with the Chinese protests in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, where the Olympics will open August 8. Also that year we saw the non-violent overthrow of Communism in Czechoslovakia, and the dismantling of the Berlin Wall that symbolized the reunification of Germany. Lying directly in the path of the Total Solar Eclipse shadow, China is again a focal point. Throughout 2008, we've witnessed the unfolding of China's drama as the Communist country seeks to become a bigger player on the world stage. The February eclipse series earlier this year previewed worldwide protests of China's dealings with Tibet. In May, a 7.9-magnitude earthquake devastated the Sichuan Province of China. The Leo/Aquarius eclipses highlight the need for humanitarian integrity as we enter the Age of Aquarius. In more ways than one, the world will be watching China in August. Will the Summer Games in 2008 be a triumph of the human spirit? On a personal level, how can we more fully embody the Aquarian ideals of equality, humanitarianism and brotherly love? Are you living your purpose, contributing to the evolution? Eclipses bring about powerful changes. Meditation helps us align with the higher energies of these planetary portals, especially during the times of the exact alignments. Ritual can be simple: Breathe in love, breathe out peace. Lead from the heart. Namaste. Copyright 2008 Allison Rae/www.StarPriestess.com________________________ http://www.astrowisdom.com/, Lisa Dale Miller says:

May we each step into our roles as living Creators, Caretakers, and Protectors of the Realms of Heaven and Earth. May we each see revealed to us the greater nature, and mysteries, of the cosmos, who we are, and our relation to each other. In a Sacred Way, May we learn to dance the dance of Life and Creation. In a Sacred Way, may you receive the blessings of the Eternal Light and Mystery, May it be Revealed. May it Be So. Zacciah ______________________________________________________________________
Friends: I have just returned from an inspiring two week pilgrimage in Egypt. The lessons learned and living energies ascertained will only help to further stimulate these enriching programs. Join us! It is more and more apparent the pathway to healing consciousness is via preparing room for our most ascended being, to integrate into our normal waking consciousness, what we could call our more descended being. This is the "Descension of Consciousness!" I have spoken for a great deal of time about how we can only build elevated states as high as we are willing to dive into our lower states of being. Only by clarifying our root issues, our emotional and mental bodies, inviting in, and integrating our higher celestial being, are we able to fully come alive in this life time. If we don't complete the process now, we can only look forward to yet another lifetime of learning, purifying, and integrating. We are most Divine beings. Great beings of light and illumination. Far more than most of us imagine. We have been taught, and too often invest, in beliefs of a lower nature. Our most common thoughts, time, and feelings, are most often, wrapped up in illusional aspects of our survival, working in the material world, or development of our personal attributes, when, in fact, we need to make room for our highest and most authentic being to come into clear manifestation, in our waking consciousness. Our more egoic sense of self, that which we believe ourselves to be, indeed, needs most, to make room for our most authentic and magnificent holy being, to take root, and dwell in this, its holy temple, our physical body. Those of us who have not, need only to make room, to prepare the bed, to invite in our higher self, to descend into material form. This is a most beneficial aspect of the true nature of Ascension, and Illumination, to marry the highest with the most profane, the most etheric with the pure physical form. Honoring the temple with its holy spirit. Honoring the spirit by giving it its sacred refuge, its dwelling place. It is this Sacred Union which brings us to evolved, enlightened being. And frees our spirit to transcend into other states of awakened being, even free passage through the portals of death, when that time arises. I invite you to make room, at this time, for your most pure, clear, and authentic Divine Nature to descend into your waking conscious being, and become an integral part of who you truly are. Prepare ye room! It is time for the awakening, time for the transition into elevated being. In a sacred way, we make these offerings, to assist in your coming journeys of enlightened growth. We (humanity) will not make a unified transition into heightened consciousness until we each take the steps to that place. We shall work cohesively, to come into awakened being, and invite others to join us, in world prayers and service, in each of these upcoming programs. I look forward to joining you in the journey. Many blessings, Zacciah Blackburn www.thecenteroflight.net
If you did not get to see our notes on the transformative nature of these program offerings, please see our last newsletter here: http://thecenteroflight.net/News.2.5.08.html Inevitably, the vast majority of participants find these programs not only deeply stimulating, but profoundly moving, enriching, and life transforming. We offer them in a sacred way, in service, from higher guidance, to assist us, each, and all, in this time of great transformation. Many take us right where we need to go, into self illumination, into service for our greater good, and into planetary service. We invite you, joyfully, to join us. We look forward to joining you in the journey. Many blessings to all. Shalom, Salaam, Absa, Shanti, Vrede, Pau, Sidi, Mir, Waki Qiwebis, Peace be with you.
