Your Garden

Today, build a garden within, a garden so bountiful and wondrous, so irresistible, that joy will be enticed to enter and then settle in to stay.

You will find the soil within you, in the peaceful center of your body. Go there first and feel the peace, endless peace, like deep and dark soil that can nurture dreams.

Next, let the river of love flow through your heart, an endless stream flowing through, combining with the soil of peace to create a fertile environment for your life.

Now look up and see the sun of faith shining high above you. Invite these life-giving rays into your garden, warming the fertile soil and making it ready for the vibrant surge of creative energy.

And now, let your imagination plant the seeds. Watch as flowers of all colors and varieties spring up, bursting through the soil, reaching up toward the sun, then unfolding in beauty and releasing their perfume across the garden. Each flower that springs from your fertile imagination is a possibility, an opportunity, and a thing of beauty just for its own sake, because such beauty must be shown and shared.

Let your imagination go further. Watch how a single seed sprouts, then becomes a tender sapling and then a tree. Watch how it grows and begins to bear fruit, golden pears that hang from the boughs, ripe and luscious. And now come the bluebirds of happiness, flying over the garden walls to sit on the boughs of your trees, orchards now of peaches, pears and cherries, all ripe and ready.

And now you feel that joy is already here. Joy has been here since the beginning, the driving force behind it all, the cause and the result, the presence and the essence. Joy and love, peace and faith, all residing together, all causing each other in an endless loop of creation and wonder.

And all of this is within you. All of this is created by you and nurtured by your heart and mind. This garden, this feeling, this wonder, is yours to create every moment, no matter what is happening outside, no matter what your circumstances are.

Whatever it is you have been seeking for happiness, you do not need. Whatever it is you have been desperately chasing for joy, you do not need. Whatever it is you believe you must have in order to be happy and joyful is unnecessary. You have created happiness and joy yourself, here within you, right now.

Nurture them with the soil of peace, the stream of love and the sunlight of faith and they will dwell within you for as long as the breath of life runs through.

Build Your House of Joy


Every thought you think, every word you speak, every choice you make in every moment, is creating the house in which you dwell.


You may choose to build a house of glass bricks, each brick a beautiful moment, a perfumed rose, damp grass under bare feet, crickets on a summer evening, sunshine warm on your shoulders, the smile of a loved one, the lick of a puppy on your cheek, joyful laughter with friends.

And when you build your house of deep emotional joys like these, it becomes like a fortress, a house of true wonder, where the outside storms are kept at a distance and yet your own joy and beauty always sparkle. It becomes a place of great safety and security, a place you can dwell within every moment of your life, no matter what is happening outside.

And after a time, you will find that you cannot be contained within that house, for your joy and peace are so complete that they must shine out and create a world of light for others as well. You become the house up on the hill, a house made of glorious glass bricks, sparkling with all of your joyous thoughts and emotions, and allowing the glow of your being to shine out to light the world.

And so, you have built the perfect environment, one that is safe and secure and yet one that is also a beacon for others. And it all begins with what you think and what you say, what you choose to do and be in every moment of your life.

Right now, fill your heart with beauty and joy. Right now, let joy course through your veins. Right now, picture the most beautiful day you have ever experienced and allow that emotion to live within your body. And as you do this, know that this moment of pure joy has added a beautiful glass brick to your house of wonder, your house of I Am, the perfect and glowing shelter that is your life.

You are infinitely powerful. Your power knows no bounds. You not only have the power to create a world, you are creating it, consciously or unconsciously, right now. Whatever your world is, you are creating it, moment by moment. And if your previous thoughts, words and deeds have created a world you do not wish to dwell in any longer, then change your thoughts, change your words, bring beauty and joy into your life through conscious choice, and the world outside you will begin to shift as well.

It cannot help it, for such is your power.

I wish you love and peace,
Carrie

Living in a World of Energy and Vibration: Dealing with Turmoil and Chaos

Living in a World of Energy and Vibration: Dealing with Turmoil and Chaos

In the last week we have certainly seen a fair amount of chaos on the Planet, from Hurricane Ike hitting Houston to the financial collapses on Wall Street today. Looking at all this, it may seem pretty grim, until you remember that the Old Energy is on the way out and that in order to bring in a new way of life that is more focussed on Abundance and Peace, we need to be prepared to let go of the old and not to feel shaken and shattered when the old energy does fall apart in very obvious ways.It was interesting for me that when I was doing the work and research for the Great Lakes Water Ceremonies, I did read that the water from the Great Lakes does find its way into the Gulf of Mexico, and maybe working with the energy of the Lakes will help to bring peace to the Gulf area as well.

It is so important, at these times, to be able to hold onto the Inner Peace in your own center and to know that All is Well and that there is Divine Order within this apparent chaos. It is important to focus on Trust and to know that you will be safe. It is important to remember that we are now in the Fifth Dimension with a new way of Being and Perceiving. We are in a world of rapid Creation and Manifestation, a World of Energy and Vibration, where the quality of Consciousness determines what is created and what will manifest.

Aligning your Consciousness with Family of Light and with the flow of Sacred Light from Source is a wonderful way to hold to the peace that lives in your Heart and the center of your Being. Here is a beautiful image that was sent to me from my friend Paschalis in Greece. Paschalis is the organizer of the annual Spiritual Awakening Festival in Greece, and he sent me this image that was taken at one of the Ceremonies of Light in Sounio in Greece in August of 2008. I love the image, because the candles that are being held by the participants look as though they are Hearts of Light!

So, what are the coping skills for September? For, we are in a phase of adjusting to the "backwash" of the powerful energies that came in to the Planet in August. We crossed a threshold into a New Space, and the major skill for coping here is Choice. The New Earth is a Free Will zone, and you have absolute choice in your life, no matter how it may seem to you. In this New Earth of the Fifth Dimension, Energy vibrates at a very high level and that means that consciousness coalesces into manifestation and action extremely rapidly. What you hold in your consciousness is what you will manifest if it is in alignment with your I AM and Higher presence. If it is not, then you will probably feel stuck and feel as though you are not moving. Don't worry too much. Relax, take a deep breathe, and begin to explore what it is that your I AM wants you to experience and create. You can be quite sure that whatever your I Am wants for you, it will be a wonderful adventure filled with fun and joy, for that is why you are here on the Planet. Your I Am has no interest in creating dramas of illusion and pain, and is just not going to take you there. It will wait patiently until you decide to begin to live the life that you were meant to live.

And, so what is that? Well, Archangel Michael keeps telling us, and many other Spirit sources and channels. We were meant to live here in Peace and Abundance and to grow through expanding in Unconditional Love and Service to the Light.

So, how can we do that? Well, Archangel Michael advises us to look for old patterns and old addictions and habits, and to see where we keep trying to create lack and suffering and pain. Then, when we have identified these patterns, which may come from many past lifetimes, then we can choose another pattern of Being that is more aligned with our present mission of Joy and Peace and Abundance. For, every person on the planet right now has been charged with this mission, to carry the new energies of Peace and Love and Abundance, and we are all learning the best ways to get to this point. The first step is letting go of what is old and what no longer works, and the next step is creating a radiant new life of Joy that matches the higher frequencies of the New Earth.

So, dream of what you want and know it is possible. Know that you are loved and supported by the world of Spirit and that you will always have what you need. There is no lack and no shortage, there is enough for everyone. The illusion of lack and fear has been created to keep people trapped in a systen that limits and controls, and as you break free you will see how limitless is the love and grace of God in your lives at all times.

So, in this time of change and transition, be the Light and know that you as you hold the Light you are showing the way to a new reality.

Those of you who feel called to work with the water and to send Love and Gratitude into the waters to create the purity of the New Earth will love this image as much as I did. It comes from Patty in Indiana in the United States, and she says that this is a Beaver Dam that was built in the canal at back of her house. She is working with these creatures to return this water to its pristine state so that nature can thrive here. So, if anyone wants to send Love and Gratitude here, she would be most grateful for the assistance....and I am sure that the Beavers will be too!

Soul Transitions Vibe - September 2008

A message from Nancy Leilah Ward

Wednesday, 10 September, 2008


This month of September is a time of integration. Since the summer solstice, much of the past has come up to be released – lower frequencies have surfaced and been cleared. Higher, more refined energies are now being integrated into your being. As this process continues it would serve you well to surrender and allow a sense of being-ness to permeate your … being.


This is a time of finishing what has been stirred up, evaluating, rectifying and beginning to harvest the new energies – creating new pictures and feelings of what is your next step.


There is a relentless striving and doing that has been the way of many - as if there is a taskmaster or slave driver behind you with a whip. This is accompanied by a feeling of never being able to do “enough.” Allow yourself the freedom of doing “nothing.” Let go of the never ending list of tasks that need to be accomplished. Connect with a deeper, more subtle being-ness. There will always be the “to-do list” to maintain life in the third dimension. These “have-to-dos” are a distraction from a deeper reality. Make your list, then set it aside. For, again, this time of September is about integrating the new energies that have been growing inside you – nurture yourself – nurture the newness with peace and surrender. Time is speeding up and soon you will be busy with new projects as the energies begin to take off in October. For now, the ground of your being is fertile and this is a time to get clear on what it is you want your new life to feel like.


This is also a time to cease old habits, to let go of activities that no longer resonate with the higher energies. There will be people that you no longer feel in harmony with. It is time to gently let go of people, jobs and patterns that no longer serve your greatest good. It will not be difficult, the bonds have been loosening these many months. Resistance and persistent holding on to the past creates blocks and a feeling of rigidity. You may see examples of this in people in your world. Little can be done for those who are stubbornly clinging to the past – other than to pray for them that they find peace.


Nurture yourself, feed yourself with love. Feel your feelings – no matter what they are – honor all you feel. If something feels painful or uncomfortable, there’s usually a feeling of being stuck. When you allow yourself to respectfully be there in that place of discomfort, you will find that the acknowledgement will soon bring a softening and then the energy will begin to flow again. You can find the inner still point and breathe love into your being by focusing on loving memories or visions of beautiful earth moments – like a breeze rippling the calm water of a lake – find within you that which brings a feeling of space around the cacophony of life. This will help to lubricate and open your aura, to move you from fear into wholeness. Little by little, love and nurture yourselves.


So many who read these words are high vibrational beings living in the dense energies of Earth – this denseness has been created by the people living in the Earth realm, not of the Earth herself. Many have tried in this lifetime – without knowing it – to lower their frequency in order to “fit in.” This leads to depression and disempowerment as one’s true essence is repressed. It has been very difficult for so many of you to be here, but you are here to shift the balance and the time is now.


Remember, also, that this is not all there is! You are multidimensional and vast. You don’t vibrate to the energies that have been rampant on Earth for so many eons. You bring a higher tone to this experience and have suffered because of it – by trying to fit in and feeling you don’t belong. We tell you, if you didn’t belong here, you wouldn’t be here! There are so many of you now, who resonate with the Earth’s vibration. There is strength in numbers – find others that are of similar vibration and who want to “raise it up” through gatherings – sing, dance and drum together, prepare meals together, create rituals together. If you don’t find this within your community, you can create it, or you can move to a place that holds this kind of resonance, which is created by the people in collaboration with the energy of Earth herself.


Many people are expressing the desire to live in community with others – maintaining their own personal space, but within a greater, sustainable community. Many do not know what this will look like, but feel the desire within. This will unfold as you come together - collaborating with Earth and each other. So we say to you, find your spirit family. You are not alone.


You have heard that your thoughts become real. It is important to catch your thoughts when they move into the realm of fear. This relates to the dense energy that floats through the earth plane – the density of fear and poverty consciousness is a conglomeration of thought forms coming from the people of Earth. These thought forms become an entity – an etheric entity which multiplies and attaches to us when we are resonating with fear. This entity is a parasite that feeds on fear. It will whisper words of fear to exacerbate our feelings. Be aware of when this is happening to you. You can turn and say, “Enough! Be gone with you!”


Just as negative, fearful thoughts create negative, fearful experiences in our outer world, so will positive, loving thoughts create positive, loving experiences.


So many on Earth feed fear into themselves through movies, video games, music – many forms of entertainment. Most of you who read this already discern what you will and will not feed yourselves in this way; however you are still living on the earth where those negative energies waft through the energies. This negativity can be transmuted by you, through meditation and intention. Recently, as hurricane Gustav threatened New Orleans, many Lightworkers gathered in the etheric realms to consciously diffuse the energy of that storm. And it worked, for the storm’s force weakened and, although it was still devastating to many people, it was not nearly as strong as it had started out to be. There is power in our numbers – group conscious intention is powerful – you have always been living within this, but the intention has been more negative. It is time to turn it around!


A few symptoms to be mindful of – extreme fatigue and feeling as if your energy has been drained – also aches and pains. My upper back/shoulders, back of my head are very sore. I have been working with a wonderful friend who does cranio-sacral massage. She is an intuitive healer and is helping me release some very old energy that has been gripping me in this area, which is why it’s so sore now. I believe that letting go of that grip and relaxing the muscles is bringing on the soreness because so much has been held there for so long. I recommend some kind of body/energy work to help move the energy of the past that we’ve been releasing.


In closing, September is a time for realigning with your authentic self. Take the time to do nothing! To relax – if you’re feeling drained – honor your feelings and get cozy with a good book or take a nap. We are integrating the new, higher vibrating energy that we have been making room for throughout the summer. October is waiting out there – humming – the engines are revving – we’re going to be building up to some fast traveling, so now is the time to get ready by being still – yes – and integrating all we’ve gathered.


With gratitude and love,

Nancy Leilah Ward and Many of One

Female Heart Attacks - crucial, lifesaving information

I'd like to share this message with you all, if I may - its not just for women to read, it's for all those who may one day be faced with these symptoms in either themselves, a loved one or even a stranger ...


Female Heart Attacks - crucial, lifesaving information for every woman



"If you've read this before, please be sure to pass on to your female friends.



If not, please take a minute. It could save your life or someone else's.



I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I've ever read about women and heart attacks (Myocardial infarction). Did you know that women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when experiencing heart attack - the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest and dropping to the floor that we see in the movies? Here is the story of one woman's experience with a heart attack.



I had a completely unexpected heart attack at about 10:30 p.m. with no prior exertion, no prior emotional trauma that one would suspect might've brought it on. I was sitting all snug and warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and actually thinking, "A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up." A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion , when you've been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you've swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn't have gulped it down so fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly, and this time, drink a glass of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my initial sensation. The only trouble was that I hadn't taken a bite of anything since about 5:00 p.m.



After that had seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my spine (in hindsight, it was probably a spasm of my aorta), gaining speed as they continued racing up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically when administering CPR). This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out into both jaws. Aha! Now, I stopped puzzling about what was happening. We all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being one of the signals of an MI happening, haven't we? I said aloud to myself and the cat, "Dear God, I think I'm having a heart attack!" I lowered the foot rest, dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, "If this is a heart attack, I shouldn't be walking into the next room where the phone is or anywhere else, but on the other hand, if I don't, nobody will know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to get up in moment."



I pulled myself up by the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the next room and dialed the Paramedics. I told the lady who answered that I thought I was having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum and radiating into my jaws. I didn't feel hysterical or afraid, just stating the facts. She said that she was sending the paramedics over immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to unbolt the door and then, lie down on the floor where they could see me when they came in. Then, I lay down on the floor as instructed and lost consciousness, as I don't remember the medics coming in, their examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the Cardiologist was already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking questions (probably something like, "Have you taken any medications?"), but I couldn't make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and partner had already threaded the tiny angiogram balloon up my femoral artery into the aorta and into my heart, where they installed 2 side by side stents to hold open my right coronary artery.



I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have taken at least 20 to 30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but actually it took perhaps 4 to 5 minutes before the call, and both the fire station and St. Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my cardiologist was all ready to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and the procedure) and installing the stents. Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? It's because I want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned first hand:

1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body - not the usual men's symptoms, but inexplicable things happening (until my sternum and jaws got into the act ). It is said that many more women than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn't know they were having one, and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation, and go to bed, hoping they'll feel better in the morning when they wake up - which doesn't happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like mine, so I advise you to call the paramedics if anything is unpleasantly happening that you've not felt before. It is better to have a "false alarm" visitation than to risk your life guessing what it might be!



2. Note that I said "Call the paramedics" ( 911 )! Ladies, time is of the essence! Do not try to drive yourself to the ER. You're a hazard to others on the road, and so is your panicked husband, who will be speeding and looking anxiously at what's happening with you instead of the road. Do not call your doctor. He doesn't know where you live, and if it's at night, you won't reach him anyway, and if it's daytime, his assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the paramedics. He doesn't carry the equipment in his car that you need to be saved! The paramedics do, principally oxygen that you need ASAP. Your doctor will be notified later.



3. Don't assume that it couldn't be a heart attack because you have a normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it's unbelievably high, and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MI's are usually caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive."
