OK - after 40 years (except for the nine months I was pregnant) I'm going to stop smoking tomorrow. Any other wisewomen on board with me? There is help. Join me then tell me your story. This is one habit and "story" I've been holding onto for too long. Ready to give it up. You with me?

Wisewomen Need Someone to Stand By Them...

2008-11-19T00:19:08Z

We're entering a new time. Can you feel it in the air? Oh, yeah, there are those that are afraid of the change in the air. They claim collapse, disaster, fear, hatred, prejudice, all of the "old way of thinking", however, if you listen and pray and clean your thoughts, you get it, that there is something very joyful and healing and wonderful happening in the world today.

You can drive in crazy traffic and send love to each person on the road. See how that changes your drive?

You can shop and talk to the employees in the store and the checkout people and laugh and giggle and chat. See how that changes that experience?

You can talk to neighborhood kids and tell them you're glad to see them having fun and support them as any "Nana" would. Can you see how that changes your neighborhood?

You can call family and friends and elderly folks you know who may be lonely and tell them you love them. See how that changes your world?

You can start that poem, start that painting, start that glass project, start that craft project, start those holiday communication masterpieces. See how that changes your world?

Each of these examples are ways you have the power to change your day, your hour, your minute. I know you're up to the task. You are wisewomen! You know what you know!

I love you and wish you peace this day. Sweet dreams. Nameste'.

Ho'oponopono Wisewomen Cleaning Up Their World

2008-11-16T16:52:23Z

Ho'oponopono simply means, "to make right," or "to rectify an error." According to the ancient Hawaiians, error arises from thoughts that are tainted by painful memories from the past. Ho'oponopono offers a way to release the energy of these painful thoughts, or errors, which cause imbalance and disease. Every painful situation that arises in your life, you are 100% responsible for. Only because your memories are running your life instead of your clean consciousness. You can make it right, with Ho'oponopono.

Got someone who's bugging you? Got debt up the wazoo? Can't get your business off the ground? Got no love? Got no money? All of these "blocks to spiritual peace", "material abundance", "right relationships" are due to the fact that you have memories working overtime to block your good and peaceful birthright.

You're out of sync with the Divine order and all it takes to get back into the "flow" of money, love, peace, happiness is to do Ho'oponopono constantly - taking responsibility for the situation, and then cleaning it up. It's a simple process. Just do the following steps when something or someone comes into your life that stresses you.

1. "Thank you Spirit for bringing this situation to my attention. I know I have been given a great gift to clear this situation from my life and I'm grateful to you for this gift."

2. "I'm sorry I didn't know these blocks to freedom were a part of my energy. I don't know what to do about this God, but you know what to do. I'm sorry for what I have done to cause this situation."

3. "Forgive me for causing this situation in my life. Forgive me, my friends, my relations, my ancestors for shutting you out of our lives, Divine Spirit. Please cleanse me for whatever is in me that has created this situation. What is it in me that has caused this pain?"

4. "I love you God, Divine Spirit, All that Is, the Great I Am That, I Am."

These easy steps are to be done every time something comes up to stress you, to anger you, to frighten you, to threaten to take peace away from you.

I'm not promising instant prosperity, but I am promising peace. And when you have peace, inspiration comes to you on how to best deal with the sticky wickets in your life. When you're fearful, angry, resentful, hateful, judgmental or just confused, then it's pretty clear that you're running on memories and not conscious of Spirit. When you see that you're running on a negative emotion, thank Spirit, tell Spirit you're sorry, invite Spirit to clean up this messy memory, ask forgiveness for yourself and everyone in your "network" of people, and then say "I love you." Simple, direct, easy.

The most amazing things happen when you practice Ho'oponopono. You not only clean up your memories and history, you clean up your family's, friends, relations and ancestors as well. You may be acting upon a memory from some ancestor in your family several generations back and not even know it. It's clean, it's green (doesn't dirty the environment - in fact it cleans it up, and it's a dream to live with.

Since Obama's election, it is a "Yes We Can" world. We can clean up our space, and the space of the world around us. Everything in the world that bothers you, you can walk through the Ho'oponopono steps and start cleaning them up. Isn't that exciting? You're in charge! You are the leader of your "Tribe" as Seth Godin says.

Groups of people are joining the "tribe" of Ho'oponopono. We're ready to clean ourselves up so we can clean the world! Interested in joining us? Sign up for the Spirit Journey News on the right, and we'll notify you of Ho'oponopono groups forming near you.

Wisewomen Feel Their Worth...

2008-11-16T00:47:33Z

After studying spiritual practices for 55 years, I find this beautiful Christmas Carol so moving and so uplifting and so "spot on" target for the evolution of our consciousness.

When the "soul felt its worth" is just so right. We have been hypnotized into believing our worthlessness as grandmothers - wisewomen - WOMEN - for centuries.

Now is the time to wake up to our unborn nature - pure - perfect - Oh, if we only knew. Christmas is gloom and doom in retail, but finally, we have the chance as grandmothers to celebrate the true "birth of Christ" - the true connection of our "soul's worth". We are so much more than the material, greedy, form. We are deep, we are passionate, we are women worthy of consideration. Wisewomen wake up! We can change the course of cynicism, of materialism, we can do so much to turn this holiday from one swing of the pendulum of a child born to "buying frenzy" to "show our love". I will share with you in the next few weeks how to make your Christmas Experience a true spiritual awakening. Hang with me grandmothers. Then share your wisdom with your family. You are the only wisewomen who can. You're being called...will you answer?"

I love you. Enjoy this beautiful video You are the light of the world. Claim it. Own it. Bless it. Blessings to you and your family.

New Era is Rushing In - Are You Prepared?

2008-11-01T11:38:47Z

I read a fascinating article by Linda Bradey, of Creative Choices. I'm republishing a quote from her article in the Spirit Crossing Newsletter:

"The crucifixion is one of the primary focuses of this Age. Consider that for 2,000 years we have defined our spiritual nature by a man being nailed to a cross and being tortured and killed. This symbolizes the best and worst of Pisces. This was an era when people felt that suffering and guilt were somehow synonymous with spirituality. Many of us are plagued by these neurotic beliefs today. (Ironically, we characterize Christ in the cross, not in the Resurrection. He did not stay on the cross. This is a point that I'd like to make as food for thought, though it extends outside the scope of this article.) On the other hand, the Crucifixion can also be seen as the transcendence of the ego and a surrendering of one's selfishness for a higher ideal to serve. In its most profound sense the Crucifixion means the principle of sacrifice and profound devotion. It is the water element at its most refined."

"Conversely, the Pisces Age was marked to a large extent by a lack of knowledge, which resulted in religious bigotry and nearsightedness. We all know of the many atrocities that have been perpetrated in the name of God and in the bid to attain salvation. From the Inquisitors to the Born-Again Christians, the "only route to God" has been coupled with rancor and strife, with every group claiming exclusive access to the one true God, while all non-believers are considered automatically excluded from God's kingdom, even to the extent of eternal torment. Pisces is intensely concerned with matters of faith. However, we have all seen where this can lead when taken to extremes. At its worst, the Pisces Age was an era of religious intolerance, when large populations were expected to show unquestioning allegiance to a rigid belief system."

I can feel this change in the air. I can hear it in people's voices. Some high, tinny, frightened, some slow, calm, open, but the change is definitely coming.

It is rather remarkable that the holiday - holy day - that looms largest in most Christian churches is Easter. And so many good people get stuck in the nailing Jesus to the cross. Jesus was a man. This story shows this by Jesus asking his Father to "take this cup away" from him. Jesus was awakened. This story also shows this by Jesus saying, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." and "Not my will, by Thy Will. I commend my Spirit to you Father."

If you see Jesus as the "way-shower", then you understand the significance of this part of the story. Our human nature would like "not" to deal with pain, with struggle, with growing spiritually. We'd rather not hurt. But if we take our Father's cup, if we commit to Spiritual Growth, Awakening, then we commit to a bit of pain in the process. OK, a lot of pain. We cannot shed the shackles of spiritual ignorance, without growing pains. We can't have compassion for others in their journey without feeling pain our selves and realizing that is part of the process of coming "Home" to our Father. Once we start this process, there is no going back. We can't "kinda" become awakened. Once awakening starts, we see old habits, old familiar judgments, old drama-queen scenarios and old offense of our sensibilities as rather ridiculous. It's kind of funny, actually. I laugh out loud at myself and my thoughts. They don't belong to me any more, because they never did. Someone far larger than myself is breathing me, beating my heart, carrying me through each moment. Those egoic thoughts are just that, thoughts, neither true nor false, good nor bad, just thoughts. It's not about me, my little ego-scared-self. I'm part of a much, much larger, more benevolent, whole.

So if you're feeling the martyr, especially in these dynamically changing times, stop, feel your breath. Stop thinking. Feel the moment. Can you feel the Presence of God? Can you feel God breathing you? Can you feel God energy throughout your body? Take yourself off of the cross, we need the wood! There is redemption and resurrection waiting for you as soon as you hop down off of that cross. You are loved, supported, helped, embraced by the same loving God that Jesus is. Give up the cross of shame, guilt, judgment and separateness, terminal uniqueness - for heaven's sake! :) Feel the wind of forgiveness rush in and lift you up. This is VERY GOOD NEWS! A gift waiting to be accepted. Are you ready to receive your gift?

As soon as you accept the gift, you have so much energy to come up with solutions. Solutions not only for your immediate world, but for the larger world. In fact, you cannot hold back the excitement, the pure love you feel for everyone! You cannot wait for inspiration to come to solve issues that vex us. You are on fire with the love you feel, bubbling up, overflowing, spilling out of your presence. My wish for you this holiday season is that you find the Spirit of Christ within. "The Kingdom of God is Within You." There is that present again. With your name on it. Go ahead, open it! You will be delighted!

The Election is Almost Here!

2008-10-31T13:43:14Z

I'm quite happy about that! I don't watch much TV, but even so, the attack ads have been running full throttle for the last 3 months. The amount of money invested in the negative, dark side is amazing. You can just hear the under-world leader gnashing his teeth. He won't be long for this world and he knows it. Even the money he used as an alter won't save him. His time is up, and it's time to move on, move into a positive, growing, healing time for the earth and her inhabitants.

Religions just point the way to Awakening...they aren't "the way".

It amuses me that the fundamentalist, right-wing Christians believe in their right of terrorizing others with their beliefs, their false-power, their one and only way - when the religion they built, itself, has been turned around, misconstrued, interpreted badly, and made into it's own little powerless false religion. I have a feeling, the birth of Christ this year, may be looked at much differently. Perhaps more will join Christ's consciousness and understand what his parables, what his guidance and way-showing really meant. Perhaps they'll have a real experience with the deep Christ, that one that pointed us in the right direction if we'd only listened. Perhaps more will experience the Peace of Christ.

Many long for Peace after being assaulted 'till we're bloodied psychically with the negative political advertisements launched and funded by the beast. The beast of wealth, the beast of good, gone bad, the beast of self-protection and the beast of warring. I hope people are not so self-absorbed and frightened that they can't see the money poured into this negative race is not for their good, but for their demise. If we cannot get up from the whore of self-centered, racist fear, then we will die in her grasp with nothing left but her empty shell of empty promises.

The "Good News" is there is still time to accept the Christ into your heart. You can awaken from this very bad dream and realize that Christ was telling the Truth. You can't see God if you don't walk Christ's walk. Or Moses' walk. Or Buddha's walk. Or Mohamed's walk. Or Krishna's walk. Or many other enlightened souls who understood the Truth. Not your beliefs, not my beliefs, not belief at all, but the Truth. Gosh, it's such a wonderful, peaceful world we are a part of if we open to that world. As long as we're lost in the illusion of pain, fear, greed, and beliefs, we have no chance of knowing God's Peace.

Yes, the election is almost here and we're almost ready to take the leap into a new era. I wish you peace in this world. I wish for you to find Awakening a journey of wonder and awe and Peace. (There will be bumps in the road, change always causes that, but there is something to hold onto now that is solid. The illusion is gone, and Truth is here for you.)

Prosperity Doesn't Come to Chaos

2008-10-28T03:13:08Z

I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly of the market recently. People are scared because they're losing a lot of money on Wall Street. Many people just think that "this is the way it is", and even though they're losing everything they have saved in the past 50 years, they think, well, that's just the way it is.

Prosperity doesn't come to chaos. That means, if your house is out of order, then chaos will reign. Have you cleaned your house? Have you picked up, cleaned up, ordered up your home? If not, then how do you expect your prosperity to come?

Chaos in relationships is just as bad at sucking the life blood out of your finances. Have you forgiven the past? Have you forgiven and blessed everyone in your life? Have you forgiven and blessed yourself? If you have not, then notice the big sucking sound of your money flying away from you! Hmmmm????

You cannot have a home that is dirty, cluttered, schedules going hither, thither and yon, and expect that prosperity can settle in your home. If you have bad feelings for someone in your home that is not living up to "your" expectations, and you hold back on participating, cleaning, and picking up, tidying up, organizing your home, then you will not reap the prosperity that is promised to every conscious child of God.

Life is so simple, yet we make it difficult. We expect miracles, when in fact, just organizing, cleaning and putting our home in order, and cleaning up our relationships, and putting them in order is all that is needed to "prime the pumps" of prosperity.

How many times today have you cussed at someone for not picking up their socks, taking out the trash, making their bed? If you have found yourself cursing someone for not living up to your expectations, then you are a victim of your own "damned" religion. "This is how life should be lived!" Stop! This is a false idol! Pick it up. Take it out! See everyone as a child of God...Just Like You... and forgive, forget and move on!

Make your world chaos-free, resentment-free, clutter-free and clean. You will be amazed at the money that starts pouring into your checkbook. You will be amazed at the peace you feel. You will be amazed at the health you gain. You will be amazed at the love that is in your life! No joke, everyone responds to chaotic-free love!

Clean up your chaotic home; find prosperity, peace and authorship of your own life at hand. I love you. You need to love you. It's yours baby, just claim it!

HearthSong for (Grand)Children's Gifts

2008-10-27T01:26:06Z

This was a catalog that I poured over when my daughter was young, some 20+ years ago. It inspired my imagination, and the toys and books inspired my daughter's creativity and imagination and the lust for exploring worlds unknown. Now I get to pour over it for my grandson! Thank you Barbara! I highly recommend Nana's looking for holiday gifts to check out HearthSong. It's one of the best around for unique, empowering, creative gifts for your grandchildren or children. Barbara has created the most absolutely beautifully crafted and dream-inspired businesses around. A woman did this. A wisewoman. Shout out to Barbara!

Barbara Kane founded HearthSong in 1983 because of a growing conviction that, "too often, in our culture, children are pushed to grow up too fast. I started HearthSong to make a statement reinforcing what parents themselves know is true, right and healthy--that childhood is a very special time." Children need time to be children.

A catalyst for Kane was a major national news magazine's cover story on "superbabies." This article, and her own observations, made her more aware of how our society pressures parents to teach their children more and more facts, at earlier and earlier ages. In Kane's view, "Earlier is not necessarily better. It's important that children learn basic skills, but at the right developmental age. Most of all, children need time for creative, imaginative play. In fact, it is through play that children learn most readily."

Kane chose the company's name to reflect her values: the hearth, a traditional symbol for the center of the home, and song to symbolize the family spirit, the joy that parents and children can experience together. Originally printed in black and white, with pencil drawings of carefully selected toys and books, and mailed out of Kane's house by her family, the first catalog was a success.

Circulation has grown from a mailing of several thousand catalogs to the current mail quantity of 19 million. Our merchandise selection and product development goals are inspired by Kane's philosophy of child development, drawn from a broad base of child psychologists, parents, religious teachers, toymakers, and educators-especially those from the Waldorf school of thought.

Kane felt strongly that childhood is a unique period in the life of an individual, that the consciousness of a child is completely different from that of an adult, that there is a specific purpose and a specific pattern to childhood and to the development of a child's consciousness, and that adults can help or hinder the accomplishment of that purpose and pattern. With a love for children, a reverence for life, and a desire to support you in your task of parenting, we offer you our service and our products: toys you'll feel good about giving.

Wisewomen and Beauty

2008-10-25T16:27:56Z

I am loving today in Colorado! Beautiful autumn day, a slight chill early this morning but warming now and probably about 70 degrees by the afternoon. Makes one appreciate the special moments offered by Spirit every moment.

Have you stopped and looked at where you are this minute? Are you in an office? Are you outdoors? Are you in the middle of fantastic family chaos? I hear children outside, raking up leaves and then squealing as they jump in the amber and red piles of nature's beauty. Nature is giving back to herself, the nutrients, the rich home for future insects to live and help enrich the earth again. Eating, giving off waste, decomposing and then becoming again one, with the earth. What a delicate and beautiful balance nature is. How intricate each participant is intertwined and each having a part in the dance of life. What design this thing called "life" is! I'm always awed! It's all an illusion but a beautiful one at that.

Who are you? Do you know where you are in the dance, who you are in the dance of life?

In Mathew 5:14 Jesus said, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;"

Christianity reinterpreted this by deflecting this statement away from us. "Oh, you mean Jesus is the light of the world." That's not what he said. He said, "You are the light of the world." Ego, Satan, Mind throws us off so that we will be separated from God or Spirit. It divides us from Truth, because if we realize we are one with God, then what would we need ego, mind, fear (Satan) for? We would not need them because we would realize our oneness and partnership with God. We would see God in everything and everyone and there would be no judgment. Duality would drop away and only God would be. That's who we are in the dance. Come to yourself Jesus kept saying. Come to me. We deserve to wake up to our divine heritage. You have fabulous, sacred, precious gifts waiting for you when you awaken.

How sweet and beautiful life is. You are it.
