Gaia's Trees

This is me communing with a tree. Plants have personality and energy just like we do. Trees and plants should be in our grateful thoughts every day. They give us life. They give us oxygen and food. Protecting their health is protecting our own. It is easy to see that the bark of a great many of our local trees is peeling. I also saw this happening in the Santa Monica Mountains. Young trees are uprooting quickly in storms. Broken branches cause power outages. So many trees look like spindly step ladders, because all of the branches have broken off. Bugs erode these dying trees, aerating the bark, allowing moisture to saturate it thoroughly. Perhaps the cause of the peeling. Many of the pesticides have been used in huge quantities here to keep areas around power lines in effect defoliated and to keep lawns green. We have a close to the surface water table, a very special environment with lots of sand, ponds and vernal pools, which keep everything t the surface. I wonder at the quantity of aluminum being put in the atmosphere from cloud seeding, and what the effects are. Trees are not naturally aluminum-resistant, but one company has put themselves in the position to have a monopoly on aluminum-resistant trees. Greed is a very toxic place to be. My Cahuilla Indian teacher said that time is speeding up, like a child moving to the outside of a merry-go-round. These days, bad dharma bites people pretty hard, pretty quick. Hurting the earth is hurting ourselves. Gaia may feel a bit put upon, but she's been around for billions of years...

Book Art Project: 'Clay' Box Turtle

"Mossy" by Jan Brett is a wonderful book about a little girl named Tori and her scientist aunt Dr. Carolina who find a box turtle with a carapace covered in a beautiful mossy garden. They bring her to Dr. Carolina's natural history museum for an exhibit, but soon realize she belongs in nature and misses her new friend Scoot, the dashing ruby-eyed male turtle with whom she has only recently become acquainted. I find it so charming and whimsical that this turtle is carrying a whole habitat on her back. She's like a little earth Goddess.

Today, my friend Jenny and I are helping the kids in the library to make their own Mossy turtles. Miss Jenny made dough for the kids and Raven & I collected moss, lichen and flowers. The moss is drying at 170 degrees F, so that it will not become moldy when the kids bring their turtles home. The flowers will wilt, but the moss will carry on.

Angel Babies

It seems people worry a lot about coddling children in a culture that exploits the loss of innocence and the corruption of youth. A quick look at cartoons today will show you what a cynical and sardonic world view we feed to the hungry young minds of our children. I think the world would benefit so much if we prolong our appreciation for the enchantment and imagination of children. They come to the earth so wise and pure, like little Buddhas or angels. In the West, we stick pacifiers (fake milkless nipples made of plastic) into their mouths and make them sleep in another room in a crib, which might as well be a mile away to a baby. Sleeping next to your baby provides warmth and connection. As adults, some folks feel they suffer from sleeping away from their spouse, why should we expect babies or children to be so different in regards to their parents. I love co-sleeping part of the night. It's really spiritually enriching and bonding. Nothing feels more natural. I also like to indulge in babying my child now and then. I treat him like a baby and coo over him in motherease. I tell him how much I adore him, his eyes, his smile, his toes. I think it's super important for kids to remember the feeling of being a pure innocent being of love and light. Adults thrive when they feel that pure love every now and then too. It feels so fantastic to embody that pure mama or papa love too.

I was listening to my beloved radio station on http://womr.org and Oh My Goddess, I found out that there is a Tennessee Williams Theatre Festival in PTown in the Autumn. It's no wonder I moved to Cape Cod. We have mutual muses! After Shakespeare he's my favorite writer. How thrilling.

The Body's Intuition

There is a wisdom in the body that is undeniable. It exists in a fusion of wisdom in the heart, gut and your intuitive center. Sometimes our intuitive center ("third eye") becomes blocked with psychic built up, in the same way calcium or fatty deposits can line the arteries, or morbid matter becomes stuck in the lining of the intestines. Dreams can help to reveal the contents of our subconscious mind, and what information your intuition has gathered resides there. Just as you can feel an electromagnetic attraction towards that which is truly good for you if you listen, you can get a warning from your body that something or someone may drain your energy or may be a person not working with your highest good in mind. If you feel like you are losing energy from your lower back (achy, soreness or heaviness) in someone's presence or under some circumstances, that is a solid indication to be apprehensive. Perhaps a sign to disconnect, regroup and figure out what is going on with you to get clarity on why you are losing your energy or 'power' around someone.

Counterweight

Genius, author and speaker Dr. Helen Caldicott has agreed to do an interview with me on the Plymouth power plant and to speak with me about about the other work she has done which includes her research on the lizard brain. She is a fascinating intellect. And she kindly addressed me "Dear Pandora". What an honor! She is a beacon of truth and sanity.

In its own small way, my radio program will help be a 'fair and balanced' counterweight to all of the anti-spiritual anti-compassionate anti global-consciousness propaganda woven into the narratives and threads of our popular culture, which is reflective of the disinformation campaigns launched for profit by conglomerates at the expense of the environment and our collective sanity. Many of my guests will undoubtedly bring a transcendental perspective with ideas about how we can transmute energy and heal our bodies.

Soothing a Cough

Coughs often precede or follow a common cold. For this reason, inducing sweating by use of ginger, holy basil, hyssop or yarrow tea will help begin to mend the underlying cause of the cough. A tea made from one ounce of horehound, ½ ounce of hyssop, and ½ ounce of comfrey root simmered in a quart of water down to one pint, strained, to which 1 ounce of licorice extract and six ounces of honey is added, will make a lovely strong tea/syrup. A tablespoon can be given every hour or two as needed. If the phlegm is difficult to expectorate, add a teaspoon of lobelia in the formula’s preparation.

There are many demulcent and anti-inflammatory herbs that soothe the throat. I have found slippery elm inner bark, calendula flowers, lily bulb, and coltsfoot to be particularly helpful in quickly speeding the healing of the throat.

Another useful combination care of Dominion Herbal College is the following powdered herbs:
Elecampane (one ounce)
Skunk cabbage (one ounce)
Aniseed (one ounce)
Pleurisy root (one ounce)
Licorice root (1/2 ounce)
Ginger root (1/2 ounce)
Lobelia (1/4 ounce)
Cayenne (1/4 ounce)


Mix these together. Infuse a teaspoon of the powder in hot water. Sweeten with honey. Take 3 tablespoons 3-4 times daily. Or better yet, Mix an ounce in a jug with a pint of hot water and 4-6 ounces of honey, administer ½ cup four times daily. This is good for bronchitis, asthma and coughs equally.

Healing Wisdom Debut

We had a wonderful debut yesterday of my radio show "Healing Wisdom" with the violinist and vocalist Onyay Pheori of Curious Blue, rock band Jayne and core member of the EarthHarp Collective. In the coming weeks we have kirtan vocalist and transformational life coach Larisa Stow, rockstar cellist Joe Kwon of the Avett Brothers, radio deejay, author & cellist Mystic Pete of KXLU's In a Dream, naturopath Lisa Arnold, drummer and percussionist Orpheo McCord from Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, phenomenal sound healer John Dumas, playwright, actor,& artist Taylor Negron, designer Elora Hardy speaking about sustainable housing, and author Dr. Helen Caldicott uranium expert & brain research scientist will be blessing my show as well.

(By the way, for anyone who listened live, the humming isn't on the original interview. There were some loose wires, but the issue has been resolved. You can hear it here: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/womr/.jukebox?action=viewMedia&mediaId=1025335) Also, expect every show after my second to have a tag, concluding the episode.

This weather is crazy, last year was quite tropical by comparison. We had rainy Spring, not a snowy one. Thankfully, the crocuses are still vibrant. The daffodils are beginning to bloom, but the forsythia hasn't began to emerge. I recall in 2011, the summer was hot and filled rainbursts, thunder and lightning storms. Last year was fairly green, and we had a great number of perfect days to ride your bike to the beach and take a dip in the water at sunset. Perhaps, we can sing to the clouds, and summon another tropical summer.

Phone Readings

I love doing readings over the phone. Since so much of the work I do is remote anyway, a disembodied reading makes no difference. I don't skimp on tea or sage either for you are with me in spirit.

Gratitude

So grateful for angels reincarnated as people. Say what? Yeah, it happens. Humanity needs it. It's a good idea from an evolutionary standpoint. I'm grateful for the spirit medicine bunny jumping over my son's head. It helped him fall asleep. Don't stop believing in magic, and magic won't stop believing in you. My friend was telling me about butterflies the other day, and the thing about butterflies is that what makes them so beautiful is that they are so pure, alive and free. May all those who need butterfly kisses in their hearts tonight receive them.

Rhyming egg scavenger hunt with nine clues complete. Angel communications almost done for the morning.

In the Garden of the Heart: Growing a Pair

Thanks to my time channeling angels in the last several days for clients, I have come to a realization myself that the soul's experience of growing and sharing love from the heart starts from the earliest moments of life, and that heart breaks often happen far before romantic feelings are ever exchanged. When one is brokenhearted as a child, the first time trying to grow your heart and heal again is painful, and like a flower it unfurls until an icy cold day that freezes it up, and it starts the cycle over, growing from a tiny bud....until one day, the heart is met with sunlight that shines on inside no matter what the weather, when someone reflects your own internal light and you never stop believing in it, so you can never stop seeing that reflection in others and sharing the sunlight that comes from within us, within all life and within the consciousness of the galactic heart of Great Spirit.

We've all been brokenhearted children once. As babies we are radiant beams, and soon we learn to dim our light and close ourselves off. It's always more obvious and striking when you hear someone saying "bad baby", or "you're not being very nice to cry like that". Stuff gets projected onto us immediately, and we learn to fit more or less into people's ideas about us.

Not only does the heart hold memories of getting hurt, but the heart remembers when it withheld love. Which is something humans do for many reasons, but sometimes is a masochistic way to inflict pain on oneself, because one does not feel deserving of love. There should be a some sort of Galactic Apology Center where every time you feel regretful or sad about something unthoughtful, painful or mean that you said to someone - you can meditate, sending love and healing thoughts and energy through the ethers which angels can direct towards moments in time that could use healing. Oh yeah, in essence there is a place like that in the spirit world. It can be reached through prayer, meditation, vision quest, astral travel, or channeling. We should open us a line of Spirit Travel Bar and Inns for this purpose. The beds could be like healing chambers in Asclepieion temples, and the bar can be full of oxygen and burning bay leaves and copal resin, and it can be constructed in a rocky cavern over a chasm from which we can clearly see all constellations visible from earth. And from this darkness, we will be able to hear not just the crickets and peepers of a grotto outside, but also the singing of every cricket and every peeper all over the planet vibrating in our hearts, and sense every cricket and peeper that ever was.
