EMOTIONAL ALCHEMY – SLAY THE EGO

The “slogan” I pulled from Training the Mind, and Cultivating Loving Kindness (Atisha’s 59 slogans…from a translation by Chogyam Trungpa) ~~~
#42 Which ever of the two occurs, be patient…Extremes of suffering and happiness are the result of karma, and therefore need to be accepted. The main point is whether good or bad “happens”, be patient and remain on The Path (to higher consciousness, enlightenment, being open and loving, non-reactive and in the flow.) Practice the dharma either way.
This is so important to aspire to. Inner tranquility to hold to one’s center. Peace full. Sourcing! Giving. Non-reactive. Flowing. Opening up to free ourselves of fear and lack. Opening ourselves to our and others’ highest good.

Life is precious mystery. A gift of Creative Spirit which is our very nature. We careen off each other’s rainbow-chakra energy, karma – new patterns, shape-shiftings, forming, dissolving, forming, dissolving. Shiva’s eternal dance. Flaming-tongued onyx-skinned Kalima’s sweeping the stage of Being clean. Being the Chariot Driver/Deep Sea Diver unwavering on the strong, steady, balanced neon-cobalt-blue with silver day-glow stars surf boards of your inner guidance, inner stability - to navigate the rich and oft’ times turbulent oceans which are the infra-red to ultra violet waters of our currents, lifestreams.

The cards are THE HIGH PRIESTESS foundation-ing THE QUEEN OF CUPS (hearts). As above. So below. I perceive so much strong sacred female energy flowing into our male dominated (for eons) psyches and cultures, shifting the scales of Yin and Yang towards balance. I know this BeCause the aspiration is emanating from within me and all who aspire “Heaven” on Earth. And what is coming from me is coming from Source. SHE IS HERE. Her love. Her wisdom owl. Her sacred mossy sea-caves. Her sweet morning blueberry’s pollen spun like violet cotton candy spores through the new summer green fields. The dappled dancing wild flowers, Queen of the Meadows. Her crystal clear waterfalls of Ochun, like splashing angel-light, renewing, refreshing, pure. Her spring-fed Dakini clear turquoise ponds where the stillness of the glassy surface coolly reflects the incandescent smiles and coded wings of Concord dragonflies carrying messages from other dimensions. Her daughter’s first steps. Her aching passion to express every nana-aspect of HerSelf inside the All. And when She dances, seven diaphanous secret veils may unveil…butterfly bells tinkling and flowing gypsy auburn hair like fire burning dust into purest gold. She is the soul of it. The (w)hole to be impregnated, the empty space of receptivity unbound and when She weeps The Black Madonnas feel this sadness and send Her love, uncontrived and free.

Blue Lotus oil from Thailand. Rachel Podger’s exquisite Bach sonatas. Burning sticks of Moldavite, from Namaste (2 West 14th Street), and thick resin amber oil anoints. New essences will arrive soon from India and the West Coast (Pacific Essences).

A time to ponder summer goals, inner and outer, as July alights this new moon in Cancer, solar eclipse. Spirit goals, and for writing, dancing, money, love, travel, work, home, new disciplines and new adventures in breaking the bonds of illusion. Using tons of Blackberry essence (physical manifestation), Manzanita (my body is the temple of my Soul), Walnut (the link-breaker), Alaskan Northern Lights (for amazement), Portage Glacier (for release) and the purest Gold gem elixir to golden me…..
- All I want and need comes easily and naturally to me.
- I am filled with radiant creative energy and beauty.
- I am with the right man for me.
- I fully accept and embrace the energy of divine love.
- I am learning to love and accept myself (Pine very helpful!)

THE HIGH PRIESTESS
(From Tarot of the Spirit by Pamela Eakin, PH.D.

All knowledge of dark and light forces
Is good; every experience contains
a message for growth; listen and you will
hear the message of your own inner
teacher guiding you in this mysterious
time; attune to faith; you are accessing
hidden or secret knowledge; be aware
of all signals in your environment;
attune to impulses; remember, retaining
memory is the third mode of empowerment;
the gift of insight is now at hand.

Affirm: I joyfully and fearlessly accept the higher path I have chosen in this lifetime.
