Re-capping 2012 and looking forward to 2013

Hmmm, where to begin my reflections of 2012…Generally speaking I would venture to say it was a pretty low, key and relaxing year. My New Years resolution is more or less always the same: be a more loving, compassionate person, follow my guidance and create inner peace, find balance and go with the flow. This year I decided that since it was the year of the great shift I would spend less time working on others and more time enjoying life and bringing more balance into my life.

Balance is a funny thing, take the symbolism of the scales, the slightest weight (say a feather) added or removed on either side completely shifts the whole.

Balance

noun

1. a state of equilibrium or equipoise; equal distribution of weight, amount, etc.
2. something used to produce equilibrium; counterpoise.
3. mental steadiness or emotional stability; habit of calm behavior, judgment, etc.
4. a state of bodily equilibrium: He lost his balance and fell down the stairs.
5. an instrument for determining weight, typically by the equilibrium of a bar with a fulcrum at the center, from each end of which is suspended a scale or pan, one holding an object of known weight, and the other holding the object to be weighed.

As a Libra rising with a Libra moon, balance has become an obsession for me at times. Several years ago I came to a bizarre understanding;  finding balance meant considering and being conscious of imbalance first. I think that tipping the scales in the extreme opposites for so many years had allowed me to finally find the balance point and a state of equilibrium. After all that seeking, finding and integrating I have come to realize that although balance is a much sought after state, it is the highs and lows in life that are the real memory makers.

That being said, I tipped the scales toward relaxation, I spent more time in nature and at the beach, read more, started painting again, meditated more, and connected with others more. I guess you could say it was balanced relaxation, this was clearly reflected in the bottom line of my business when the bookkeeper paid me a visit last month, yikes!

So, the biggest highlights of 2012 was the travel.

• A trip to Costa Rica in March/April that was relaxing, healing and a wonderful spiritual retreat http://carollefevre.wordpress.com/2012/05/07/personal-healing-retreat
• A short trip to the sunshine coast, Sechelt allowed me to re-connect with previous clients and students while I had an opportunity to facilitate a Holographic Healing workshop. I stayed with a friend I hadn’t connected with for 5 years, it was so nice to spend some time with her and re-connect. http://www.soulalchemyhealing.com/the-melchizedek-method.html
• I went to the Island, Parksville to help out a dear friend and her husband. It was an intense visit. I mostly worked, I was able to see 9 clients there and did 4 sessions on her husband Richard who had a seizure last year and has completely lost his memory, I mean everything! He didn’t even remember her. And so yet another walk-in has arrived to the earth plane! I pray for his speedy integration.
• I went to Edmonton in August and re-united with family I hadn’t seen in over 35 years, re-connected with dear friends and had an absolute blast. My beautiful cousin Juanita is an absolute joy to hang with! I soooo wish we lived closer to each other. I had the pleasure of teaching a mini holographic healing workshop there and we did some feng shui in her home. I was able to lend a hand to Deborah an absolutely amazing woman and dear, dear friend while I was there too. OMG, so many things happened in that week it makes my head spin! Everything from yoga, being rescued by a dreamy firefighter, to Drag Queen charity events…wow! I did some serious scale tipping here.
• Then there was the 10 day silent retreat in Merritt, BC which has definitely changed my life…forever  http://carollefevre.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/10-days-of-silence
• Then there was the visit here from my gorgeous sister and wonderful mother. Karen and I laughed so hard in the canoe I thought I would pee my pants. I tried to get out on a sandbar and fell in! Watching Karen made me realize how similar I was at her age and how much my values have changed. I am grateful that she decided to come for a visit even though some of our expectations were not met. In the weeks that followed we texted our frustrations and irritations to one another and when it was all over we managed to get back to LOVE. Mom and I started spray it away and mom lost 33lbs in less than 2 months. I lost 15 even with my slip ups All in all it was a great visit.

Let’s see…the other BIG thing that happened in 2012 was that I was registered with vital statistics to legally perform weddings, this was a huge breakthrough for me, and so exciting. http://carollefevre.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/its-official-im-official

It was a privilege to marry these two seniors in our home.

I took time out to read, and to read something that wasn’t work related. When I say work related I mean anything spiritual. Yep, I read “The fifty shades of grey” series. Entertaining and maybe a little educational…wink, wink!

I made it a point to start painting again, and finally managed to bond with acrylic…YES! Here are a couple photos to show you my progress. I decided to create a gallery page on my blog as well. Here is a page with some of my art and the process I went through http://carollefevre.wordpress.com/painting-gallery and here is the blog from when I first started painting: http://carollefevre.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/when-all-hell-breaks-loose-paint

Before:

 After:

I tried something new this year…a piercing. It was an experience I was going to blog about and chose not to. Why, you ask. Well it’s a little personal and I realized that I would take up an entire blog just venting and raging about an experience that still leaves me frustrated and incomplete. Kelly, the owner should thank Vipassana Meditation, not writing the blog has likely saved West Coast Piercing big money.

The bottom line is that I had a botched piercing done by the manager, who has 5 years experience. After 3 visits I contacted the owner, then after some 18 emails, 2 more visits and a re-piercing I am still not satisfied, not to mention that it has cost me 3 times the average price for this type of piercing. If anyone needs some jewellery, I have lots now…

Hmmmm, what else…I began working on my thesis for my Masters in Metaphysics, not so much writing it but doing lots of research. I am hoping to finish it this year…still undecided about the subject. I am considering paradigm shifts, meditation or something about the programming of the unconscious mind. I’m open to any ideas anyone out there may have.

Oh, I nearly forgot, we finally got our hallway, dining room and living room painted this year. It was a nightmare. The previous owners slapped paint on and got it all over the wooden trim. We spent hours upon hours cleaning it off with mild nail polish remover before we could actually paint. All the wooden trim, windows and vaulted ceilings made the process long and strenuous and it looks beautiful now that it is complete.

Before:

After:

Oh, one more thing, I learned how to create my own websites. It is so rewarding being able to go onto my site and change things when I want to. I made three new sites and updated the look of my blog. The sites are:

• http://www.soulalchemyhealing.com
• http://www.newperspectivesceremonies.com
• http://www.newperspectivesministry.ca

This encouraged me to register my new company: New Perspectives Ministry

So what lies ahead for 2013? Well I have been thinking about that, quite a bit. This is the first year in 12 that I did not do a collage on January 1st. In fact I have decided to take the four that I have up down. I am in detachment mode I suppose. My visions/goals seem to be the same from year to year:

• Inner Peace
• The world a loving place
• Abundance for all
• Great Health
• Happy and Healthy Relationships
• Comfortable Home
• Excellent Divine Guidance
• Personal Growth

I am fortunate that for the most part I have all these things. I guess the difference is wanting vs needing. Do I desire a bigger home, more money and a more loving planet…Hell Yes. Am I grateful for the love, abundance, comfort and peace in my life now…Hell Yes! So my focus remains the same; be a more loving, compassionate person, always follow my guidance, create inner peace, find balance and go with the flow, and above all find equanimity in all things.

My dear friends, clients, fellow bloggers and readers; with all my heart, I wish you more magic and miracles than you could imagine would come your way in order for you all to create the reality you desire in 2013…Happy New Year.

May Blessing Abound in your Life Today and Always,

Rev. Carol Lefevre

Recipient of the Liebster Blog Award

I am both humbled and honoured to be the recipient of the Liebster Blog Award. I enjoy being a part of the Blogging community and sharing my insights, wisdom and knowledge. It is pretty easy to figure out what is going on with me, simply by reading my blogs, as I tend to write about what is happening with my life in the present moment. It feels great to get it out of my mind and release it. I feel that the Blog is the perfect outlet for my doing this. It seems that once I write it out, the issue seems to clear and leave.  My hope is that it will be of some value to others as well.

I would like to thank my friend and fellow Blogger Jackie McSween for this award,  for sparking an interest in painting and for encouragement to participate in her Blog: pointsthruprose.com   I would also like to thank my followers for taking the time out of their busy lives to contribute to the Blogging community and for being actively involved in their personal growth and learning.

Authenticity, Improved Communication and a Deeper, more Fulfilling Life

Countless books and articles have been written on communication that explain why sending the right message is so important. They try to teach us how to send exactly the message we want. Authors often stress the importance of being concise, precise, and specific in choosing our words, regardless of whether we write them or speak them. They tell us that this is the best way to get your point across to your audience.
Sometimes we practice what we are going to say. Often we write drafts of our memos and speeches to make sure we use the right words. All this is done to make sure we send the right message, and that we are understood. There have been times in my life that regardless of following communication advise things get rattled, confused and downright messy.
As a Minister, Spiritual Coach and Metaphysical Practitioner, there is a beautiful flow of hearing, receiving, being understood and facilitating change with my clients and students. It’s out in the world where diversity, cultural awareness, stress and busyness and surrounding conditions seem to affect how we relay communication to one another.
I most recently had a 3 month contract as a Business Advisor for a government funded entrepreneur program. I had been facilitating there for two years so when offered an opportunity to work with the clients one-on-one I was thrilled. It was only 3 days a week and left sufficient time for me to continue serving my personal clients from my healing practice.
As an entrepreneur and business owner myself, there is a real satisfaction that comes with supporting and guiding others to create their visions. I loved the clients I worked with, there excitement and ideas. Within a month a strange dynamic with the staff began to take place, communication became strained and at one point was unbearable. From that point on we never seem to got back on track. I really put myself out there, begging for open dialogue, contact, communication….anything to resolve this uncomfortable feeling, NOTHING! For the life of me I just could not figure it out. How could I have vibrant and satisfying relationships with my clients in the program and not the staff working there?
So I prayed, sent love and held the energy for things to open up and change. They did, but not with the staff members or our communications. Instead a beautiful, young entrepreneur from the program,  beginning a healing practice Angelika Bendrich ~ Fundamentals Of Life:  http://www.seedsbdc.com/clients/1921   gifted me with a free workshop called:

“Living from Truth – Getting Yourself Understood”

In the words of the facilitator Anjali Hill, ” People often feel victim to their own relationships not realizing that they can do something about them. Not only can you do something about them, you can change them! You have known people who put the responsibility on others to understand them and get angry when they feel misunderstood. In ‘Getting Yourself Understood’ you create ways to express yourself that leave you feeling very satisfied and able to do what is required to bring about real understanding in your relationships.”    http://anjalihill.com

Taking Living from Truth is an investment that you will use every day of your life. As a facilitator and Metaphysical Practitioner myself, meeting Anjali was a real privilege. She goes with the flow of the group, is genuine, has fantastic knowledge and leads with compassion. She embodies the kind of knowledge that comes from dedicated practice and unwavering self honesty. When I met her, simply being in her presence caused an inner stirring and excitement of what the weekend would hold.
So where am I only two days after the classes? I now understand the importance of completing communication cycles, heck now I know what a communication cycle is! I know how to ask for clarification without having to ask half a dozen questions, I can assist others in getting their point across simply by holding the space for them to do so and I can pinpoint exactly where communications break down. I now know never to try to communicate into a space that is unwilling or unable to understand, and have left my part-time Advisor position. Most importantly,  I have already used several of the tools successfully and will continue to do so.
Anjali Hill is a very generous woman and gives back to the community. Her commitment to assist individuals to Live in Truth is unprecedented which is demonstrated through her generosity of offering everyone their first course absolutely free with no strings attached…what a fantastic gift to the consciousness of our planet.

I send my love and gratitude for Angelika whose gift improved my life, to Anjali who preciousness and love changes our world and to God who answered my calls for assistance.

When all Hell Breaks Loose, PAINT

What is Art Therapy?

I found this definition that resonates with me:

Art therapy is a form of expressive therapy that uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The creative process involved in expressing one’s self artistically can help people to resolve issues as well as develop and manage their behaviours and feelings, reduce stress, and improve self-esteem and awareness.

In the past I held the belief that I can’t draw, therefore I could never be an artist; today you can hardly get me away from the water colours and paper, I’ve become a crazed lunatic about painting. Sure some of the things I paint are weird, wonderful, unusual and some may border on just plain ugly.  For the first time in many months I’ve been able to release stress, quiet my mind chatter totally and connect to spirit in a new and powerful way, there’s nothing wrong with that!

This is my very first one called “Inception”

In a world where there is a multitude of ways to communicate and express one’s self, art or perhaps art therapy is one that works well for me. I never really thought about it until my friend Jackie McSween and I spent some time together a few months ago and she shared her work and insights from her art with me. Two months later, there I was one day standing in a store with brushes, water colours and paper in my hand, and no idea how or what to do with them.

Other forms of communication often elicit the use of words or language as a means of communication and often times, I may be incapable of expressing myself within that limited form. Painting has been a God send to me, I can tell my boss off, release anger, share my love for nature, express my connection to the Divine, embrace myself;  all without saying one word…how sweet is that?

I would imagine that, as with most any therapy, art as therapy is generally used as a treatment or way to improve one’s emotional state or mental well-being, used to relieve stress or tension, or it can be used as a mode of self-discovery. For me it has been a little of each.

I tried to paint something specific one day and it was a total disaster. The most important thing I’ve found through this process is to just paint, whatever comes out, try not to judge, fix or think. Let the inner child come out and play in whatever way it chooses.

I have also; in 2 short weeks decided that I am a fantastic artist…hmmm, I wonder if that’s how all artist think when they first begin.

Then yesterday; the discovery of all discoveries; I was preparing for a session with a client from San Diego. I was waiting for her call and did my usual “I AM Presence” connection, tuned in and downloaded some info from her guides. While I waited for her phone call I began to paint, and paint and paint. I was quickly informed that the painting was an expression of what was going on in her being and body. Wow, that’s powerful! She called 30 minutes later and I asked her questions related to what I had painted, it was dead on, the colour, the symbols, the conflicts and the greatness. This Art therapy stuff has given my work an entirely new avenue, and I’m truly loving it.

“The Good, The Bad and The Ugly“

I feel blessed and send many thanks to Jackie for putting the thought into my soul. I believe that Art Therapy can be effective for people of any age,  individuals, couples, families, or groups in settings such as counselling agencies, schools, treatment centers, rehabilitation facilities, hospitals, correctional institutes, and elder care locations.

So if you are in pain, suffering emotionally, angry or happy and joyous, pick up some paper and start doodling,  I guarantee you will find freedom or liberation in some form, likely the one you need most.

For more information on how to get your art in all forms out there click on to  Jackie’s blog:  http://pointsthruprose.wordpress.com/ 

Over and out, there’s a blank paper calling my name,

Blessings to all and your creations…Rev. Carol Lefevre B.Msc.

Yikes, me turning 50 years old, is this right?

Last week was an extremely challenging one for my husband and I. Loss is always heartbreaking, a little disorienting and quite uncomfortable. After spending most of my actual birthday day in shock and crying, I’m so very grateful for the b-day luncheon that John and my wonderful friends had to help me celebrate my 50th solar return. April 28th, 1961 @ 4:01 pm, Kirkland Lake, Ontario

For all you astrologers out there, my birthchart

Nothing can express the joy that sang in my heart from being with friends I haven’t seen for years and sharing time with new friends I have come to treasure. The luncheon was so fabulous and continued into the evening.

Friendships bring elements of stability, intimacy, emotional security, positive feelings and self-validation to our lives. Over the years I’ve realized that not all friends serve the same purpose in our life.  One friend might challenge us intellectually, while another provides emotional solace when things get tough. When I looked at the beautiful faces around the table I was deeply touched and appreciative of the many levels and quality of friendship that this precious group held.

Jackie a best friend from the past,  so much so that at times we had been inseparable; gosh, we’ve known each other 30 years! As it often does, life got in the way and it was 8 plus years since we’ve seen one another; within a few moments it was like we never missed a step.

She blessed us with a surprise new man,  Lou great guy, I’m looking forward to getting to know him better.

Carol, wow 27 years we’ve been friends; she has always been a constant in my life, through tears, celebrations and everyday stuff, her husband Michael is a rock and a softy whom I also love.

Beach friends, Shelley and Todd; what happens on the beach, stays on the beach! Except these lovely souls made it off the beach and into our hearts, we always have a pleasant time when we see them.

Nancy, dear Nancy. A powerful Goddess and fantastic friend for 12 years or so now; this one knows how to tell a GREAT true story, love ya.

Christine, my sweet new friend who is so kind and loving, always willing to give encouragement and listen; she is my get out of town Goddess friend for those days we can’t take one more moment of life and shoot off somewhere to escape.

Christine (left) Ann (right)

Ann, also a new friend she always needs to know, this keeps her searching and getting solutions, one day she’ll tell us all the answers; Ann makes herself available for others in so many ways, she is extraordinary.

Shelley,  a beautiful blossoming spirit, I love watching her shift and change, she has grace and the courage of a warrior.

Michel is my workout friend, we committed to several months to training last year so I saw him almost daily for 4  1/2 months.

His wife Serita is a patient and loving women who works way to hard! Thanks for all those entertaining mornings of conversation while doing cardio and solving the problems of the world.

And last but not least my best friend, John. This man is simply amazing, a real saint, after all, look what he has to live with; he is the yang in my yin, John adds so many precious elements to my life that I’m in tears writing about it. Balance, stability and so very much love; I give gratitude daily for our companionship.

After having a fun evening with friends, laughing those hardy belly laughs, feeling all social, happy and carefree for the first time in a while I got up feeling a little, hmmm, let’s say, ” harsh ” I just can’t drink as much alcohol these days!

Jackie, Me, Nancy and Carol on top of us

As I looked in the mirror the next morning, I mean REALLY looked in the mirror, I was a little shocked! I admit; I still seem to have a vision of the fresh-faced 30-year old version of myself dancing around in my head and I continue to reinforce this image with my old photo albums. I looked again; ” Yep, it’s the real me, hung over but me, complete with crows feet, frown lines, newly sprouting…  ug, jowls, and those oh-so-special baby “marionette” lines.” Sigh!

I still have this glorious perception that a woman can be valued for her brains and not just for her face – this makes it possible for us Goddesses to become 50 and not grieve.  It enables us to choose and do meaningful work. So what the hell, “forget about what you’re seeing, it’s an illusion anyhow”, I tell myself. Surely there must be some practical application for those string theories, quantum physics,  black holes and future timelines.  “God I must be part way there by now” I tell myself, after all I have been heavily invested in the law of attraction, positively affirming my life, a somewhat healthy lifestyle and all those so called quirky metaphysical whatnots for years.

I have even managed to change some basic and proverbial paradigms.  For instance my paradigms related to everyday experiences like having dirty dishes in the sink. Now having dirty dishes in the sink isn’t the end of the world, I’ve moved to a new paradigm in which it simply means we’ve had another fine meal and are practicing the art of relaxation. Brilliant!

With that awareness, I take a step back, close my eyes and realize some truths, at least they are truths today:

• At 50, I now understand what was vague to me at 30
• I realize that I won’t have time to do everything, so what I choose to do I consider to be important
• I seem to find profound spiritual meaning in the simplest everyday experiences.
• I need reading glasses to increase the size of the ridiculously small font on today’s supplement containers. In fact I see the number of people needing to use them for this reason has increased exponentially (it is smaller font, right?
• “Fifty is the new forty” or as my friend Jackie says, “Fifty is the new twenty five” this phrase reflects a renewed energy; everyone is saying it, so it must be true. It’s likely the result of improvements to our diets, spiritual connections, embracing healthier lifestyles and integrating the previous 40 years of our lives on many levels.
• Turning 50 comes with a huge respect more than ever before of diversity, unity and co-creation.
• I now have a greater appreciation for time over money; time is one of my most valuable commodities at this point in life. I’d rather work smarter than harder and create more time to just be, with myself, family or God.
• Living in the present is so much easier now, not being able to remember everything has certainly helped! It’s all about trust and knowing and trust and being and trust and, did I mention TRUST?
• It’s a time when it’s easier to separate myself from what other people expect of me, and do what I love without guilt or regret or being worried about what anyone thinks.
• I appreciate that I’m not really working for myself, I’m employed by God, doing service for humanity and that together we really are making positive differences.
• I have more energy, less anxiety, a stronger immune system, and an unbelievable  overall great attitude, in my youth, it never would have occurred to me that being 50 could feel this good.

The only major drawback to entering my fifties seems to be the assumption that life will soon begin to accelerate in a downhill motion. It appears the only thing left to do is change that paradigm, after all, I hang out with folks in their 60′s, 70′s and 80′s who are still kicking butt and having a blast doing it. There is little else to say other than, at age 50 I am for the most part happy and grateful to be an empowered woman!

The Empowered Woman

The Empowered Woman, she moves through the world
with a sense of confidence and grace.
Her once reckless spirit now tempered by wisdom.
Quietly, yet firmly, she speaks her truth without doubt or  hesitation
and the life she leads is of her own creation.

She now understands what it means to live and let live.
How much to ask for herself and how much to give.
She has a strong, yet generous heart
and the inner beauty she emanates truly sets her apart.
Like the mythical Phoenix,
she has risen from the ashes and soared to a new plane of existence,
unfettered by the things that once that posed such resistance. Her senses now heightened, she sees everything so clearly.
She hears the wind rustling through the trees;
beckoning her to live the dreams she holds so dearly.
She feels the softness of her hands
and muses at the strength that they possess.
Her needs and desires she has learned to express.
She has tasted the bitter and savored the sweet fruits of life,
overcome adversity and pushed past heartache and strife.

And the one thing she never understood,
she now knows to be true,
it all begins and ends with you.

Progress report, info and stuff!

Good Day Mates, Hope you all had a great day off!

It is Christmas morning here, 3:13am and again, the angels have woken me from the comfort of my bed. I am so very grateful to have a bed! Oh and running water, and a toilet, and food and…………….

For those of you in NZ who are just getting to know me I felt the need to share a little more about myself.

I’d first like to begin by addressing someone’s concern about burying the crystals into the Earth at the coordinates allocated by spirit. Let’s discuss crystals. I love them, honour them and sleep with one every night. Not so great for my husband at times if he gets a big point in the back or whacked on the head, but I have been doing it for 16 years which is much longer then he’s been with me so they get first dibs.
St. Germain is one of my guides and the one I am under contract to work with until I make my ascension. He has taught me the most amazing things, love the dude (and for those of you who have judgments about me referring to him as dude, relax, he gets a kick from it). He is the one who taught me alchemy.

Alchemy as an inner adjective:
1. Occurring within.
2. Pertaining to the soul or mind.
Alchemy as a noun:
1. The art of transmutation.
2. The seemingly miraculous change of a thing into something better.

In the beginning of my training I was taught to honour the elements, as an alchemist one can’t do squat without knowing the elements of water, fire, air and earth. Calling them forth and becoming one with them are very different principles. Just as setting intention and becoming that which we seek. Intention holds power, but without emotion and feeling as fuel it can remain lifeless.

I spent what felt like years working with the elements learning, trying, experimenting, failing, succeeding and failing again. This seemed to be an endless process and to this day there are times in which I return to the beginning of that circle. I then learn to work with everything on different levels over and over and over again. My greatest joy is working with crystals. How I love and adore them. Those little beings that assist us and carry our thought intention into the ethers; what could be more miraculous. When I see the elemental or life-force living within a crystal I see a tiny being with, in most cases a colourful robe that bows to me and chats with me. These little beings offer themselves without judgment or limitation to humanity.

In most cases they have been plucked, stripped, snatched and torn from their homes deep inside Gaia only to be thrown into the greedy hands of humans who have little or no respect for them what so ever. When I am lucky enough to become the keeper of one I do all I can to make their experience with me pleasurable. I am happy to report that most, not all, but most of my crystals continue to grow. They actually have the ability to utilize the minerals within my life-force to grow (an entire other subject). Now that is real alchemy!!!

I have crystals that have grown new points by me sleeping with them and giving them healing, it is the coolest thing, you gotta try it. I pamper them, smudge them, put them in the sun, bring them to streams, run water over them, become one with them. I connect with them at an I AM Presence level.

Now that being said, I want you to know that I have bonded with these beings at a very intimate level. If I ask them what they want, it is to go home. Not so much what I want to hear, because I consider myself a very good keeper! This is why I love Brian Lui of Amethyst Creations so much. He is an extremely good keeper and honours our friends with so much love. I buy almost all of my crystals from his store for this reason.

Even though the human body, contains 84 minerals within it and can feed and nurture the very being of a crystal, they still long to go home. To Gaia, within the earth. This is where we took them from and no matter the human attachment or our own personal values; this is where they long to return.

I’m not particularly fond of returning them to the earth, especially after paying hundreds of dollars for some, but in truth, this is their longing. So I say to those who have concerns about the crystals being buried for the purpose of forming a grid in your country, check in with those crystals that are choosing to carry our thought intention and light, this is them in service to us. They do long to be placed back into their homes from which they were pillaged. They in return will hold whichever intentions and light we express and the grid will emanate that which is intended.

Now I’d like to address ritual, ritual is something that we have become lazy about. Humans think that if they throw intention around all things it will get handled. Of course intention is important, and with that being saying “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Hmmm, I wonder where that came from.

As a society we have become despondent and lazy. We want all the benefits and offer nothing much in return. I am very practical and my teachings assist individuals in getting what they say they want in the fastest and easiest way possible.

There are times when accessing the power and energy of our ancestors is the best choice. In doing this we call forth the energy of all those who have ever performed ritual before us. We really don’t have much time to do ritual anymore and can do it with our thoughts and we do have the power to move things if we add emotion and feeling to our intentions, AND…ritual holds a very particular and special energy. This is why even those beings in other dimensions follow some rituals. When it comes to manifesting something big, I say use every resource you have, after all it has been handed down to you for a reason.

Now let us move forward, my intention is not to be complacent and to honour the power and wisdom of our elemental friends. They have originated from the earth, if we are as connected as we say we must hear them calling and longing to go home! Back to Gaia, deep within her womb.

Well, I have deliberately not checked my email today so I could let things be. Before ending, because I don’t have a progress report as of yet, I will get on line and see what’s up.

OK here’s the update:

Hi Carol. Wow, we talked in October about finding the portals and power lines in NZ, and now this is happening. I wish i could make it, at this point i’m committed to Vancouver until the end of January. I’m going to contact my friends and the Shaman (he is the gate keeper of the north…) to see how they can assist you. Best Tiberiu.

Dear Ann

Yes very interested in coordinating this in New Zealand. We actually live in Hamilton.

I planted a Kortar crystal for ‘Firing the grid’ when in the UK at Avebury about 18months ago which was very special and have contacts there too.

Pleased to assist and have great contacts here.

Will there be other coordinators in NZ and how many?

Do you have contacts in San Antonio, Texas as need to make contact to organise several talks when there 1st March to the 8th on the channelling of the Beings of Colour before flying to the UK.

Hi Carol:

I am donating $100 to the NZ Project to be used as you see fit. Please keep me posted on the coming together of this project. I love it.

Merry Christmas to you and John. May it be filled with Peace, Love and Joy.

I love it when a plan comes together! OK my friends, it is 3:33 and time for me to get back to my comfy bed. I’m not sure if I’ll blog tomorrow, I would like a day of off, and sometimes the angels have other plans.

Be well.
Carol
