Honoring The Change

I was going to save this writing for the next Food for Ascension update.  But the planetary changes that are occurring during this immediate time frame are so connected to this practice that I received a week ago from my Guides, that I feel compelled to share it now.

This is an active meditation that came in answer to a prayer for insight into the ways that I could relieve a full and stagnant feeling that was growing in my lower abdomen.

 The essential oil blend I was given to enhance this process is a blend of Melissa, Ravensare, Fenugreek, and Rose.  Apply a blend made from these oils to the abdomen, heart, and third eye area right before doing this practice.

The meditation has 2 parts.  The first part is appropriate for any adult--male or female--of child-bearing age.  The second part is only for those women who are experiencing the beginning  signs of menopause, have undergone surgery that created early menopause, or have entered or completed the several year process that we call menopause; or for men who are experiencing the male counterpart of menopause; both of which I will refer to as The Change.

Part 1
This can be practiced from a sitting position, standing, or lying down.  If you are lying down, you will need to imagine the hollow tube bending 90 degrees to enter Mother Earth after it has passed your feet.

1. Close your eyes and relax.  
2. Focus on your breathing, allowing it to become rhythmic.  Let go of any stress you may feel in your body.
3. Become aware of a glowing golden light sphere located in the vicinity of your uterus (for women) or your prostate glands (for men).  
4. Allow the golden light to expand to the size of a grapefruit. 
5. On an out breath, send a hollow tube down between your legs and into the Earth, dropping deeper and deeper until it reaches the golden light of the still-point at the very center of Mother Earth.
6. Take a few breaths and keep this connection in your awareness.
7. On an in breath, draw the golden light from the center of Mother Earth up the hollow tube and into your own golden sphere.  Allow it to swirl around the inside of the sphere.  Take your time, stay in your rhythm.
8. On the following our breath, allow the light to drain down the hollow tube, back to the still-point.  At first, it may be challenging to get it to move.  Allow it to be whatever it is--don't force it.  
9. Gently repeat steps 6 through 8, for 7 times.  Try not to use any forcefulness, simply suggest the energy movement and allow it to evolve on its own.  Gradually it will open a new circulation in an area of the body that often becomes stagnant without this Earth connection.

Part 2

1. Complete part 1.
2. Take a few breaths and allow the golden light to continue circulating on its own.
3. On an in breath, draw the golden light up from the still-point.  Allow it to grow very bright inside the sphere.
4. On the next out breath, send the light out the front of the sphere and around in a circular tube, to concentrate just outside the front of the heart.
5. On the next in breath, open the heart and draw the golden light into the heart.
6. On the next out breath, send the golden light out the back of the heart, into a circular tube that passes through the pituitary and pineal glands inside the brain, and comes around to concentrate at the front of the heart.
7. On the next in breath, open the heart and draw the golden light into the heart.
8. On the next out breath, send the golden light out into the circular tube that passes through the uterus or prostate glands, and circles up to concentrate at the front of the heart.  
9. Repeat steps 5 through 8, for 7 times.
10. On the final cycle, when the golden light passes through the abdominal sphere, allow it to drain back down the tube again to the still-point. 

Many Blessings,

Kathryn

Spring Oils Order Notes

The order is completely packed and ready to go out tomorrow morning.  While pouring the oils last week, I made a few notes about some of them which I would like to share.

First is the St. Johnswort;  with its soft and very balanced aroma, this is an oil that holds many secrets!  It is becoming known as an essential oil for relieving the pain of fibromyalgia.  It can be diluted with coconut or jojoba, and applied to painful places.  It is anti-inflammative, and stops muscle aches.  It can be applied in a hot compress to the spine for relieving pain all over the body; and I have seen people take it internally for the same purpose, in a semi-homeopathic dose.

Athletes are beginning to find it too--it can be taken orally before a stressful event, and will actually prevent or reduce muscle soreness form over use in the next day or two.  This batch is fresh and light, and very beautiful--I know you will enjoy it.

Petitgrain sur fleurs (petitgrain with flowers), will provide a great opportunity--provided you open it and take in the aroma soon.  It is still very fresh from distillation, and has had very little time to "set", so you will smell the green and raw notes from the still.  As you continue to inhale, the heart notes will reveal a beautiful floral array that will continue to mellow out and grow over the next few weeks, as the oil settles and the still's influence fades.  This one is going to be an aromatically superior production, I feel already from past experience!  Take advantage of smelling it right away so you can experience how a "green" oil changes as it ages.

Melissa.  One of my all time favorite oils to use in the spring.  We had access to only a small amount;  thankfully we were able to fill everyone's orders, as it is completely sold out from our distiller.  This oil, also known as Lemon Balm, is one of the most powerful antiviral oils known to man.  Michael and I began to use it as a spinal compress early in the spring, in a blend I have listed below.

Because viruses tend to go dormant and hang out in the spine, AND because viruses tend to also hang out in the liver,  we felt that spring would be a great time to do anti-viral treatments.  We are on the third week of treatments, and I feel really great!  Give this recipe a try for anyone who is experiencing viral infections, influenza, herpes outbreaks, etc.  It is so effective!  It is also effective for healing warts; don't add the coconut oil for this purpose.  You must apply it every day religiously, for several weeks--but it has always worked eventually for my clients.

Spring Anti-viral Blend for Spinal Compress (GREAT for massage, too!)

• Melissa  4 drops
• Ravensare 20 drops
• Spike lavender or Thuja  6 drops (whichever one you prefer) 
• Mix them together and add 2 teaspoons (about 10 ml) of unheated, filtered coconut oil.  Apply to the spine and cover with a hot damp towel; follow with another dry towel.  Let it sit for 15 minutes, or until it begins to get cool.  The oil should be completely absorbed into the skin by the time the heat fades.

Foraha--another of my favorites--is really effective for helping to heal the perineum after birth; and for relieving hemorrhoids, scars, and surface wounds.  It has antibacterial and antiviral properties of its own, and makes a good carrier oil for oils that are even more potent in this arena.  Its emollient property also makes it a good treatment for many skin issues, rashes, etc.  I like it for my hands right after doing dishes, to keep them feeling soft and alive.  I have used it to help many people heal athlete's foot too, especially when combined with other oils such as ravensare, geranium, tea tree, spike lavender, etc.  

Enjoy your spring oils, and feel free to share your discoveries and successes here!
