Michael Hoover has gone out to play.

For those of us who have had the pleasure to play with Michael & Gloria Hoover from Buckley, WA it fills me with joy and sadness to say that Michael after several months of ill health, passed on the morning of February 16. He still intends to join us in our play. He loved all things Metaphysical and specifically enjoyed the gongs and the Shamanic path.

Don’t be a stranger Mike, we look forward to your help from the other side.

Gloria is the love of Mike’s life and he intends to keep her company.  Let us send them both energy in light and love.

There will be a memorial service for Michael in March.

Relaxation

Make this exercise as physical as possible.  Use exaggeration and visualization to intensify your experience.  You are re-training your body to relax at will through a simple exercise of contrast and comparison.

  • Assume a comfortable position that you will be able to maintain for an extended period of time.
  • Work with your breath.

Use the inhale to maximize the tension of the muscle group you are focusing on. Think into the body: tense, as you inhale and tighten your muscles.  Always release with your exhale. Command you body to: release, as you exhale and let the energy flow.

  • Begin by tightening the muscles of your feet.  Hold until your feet become hot and uncomfortable.  With your next exhalation, release, allowing the energy to flow out through the soles of your feet.
  • Next reposition your legs in order to optimize tightening the muscles of the ankles and calves.  Hold, intensify, and then release.  Let the energy flow down through your ankles releasing and clearing the energy as it drains out through the soles of your feet.
  • Move your attention to the thighs.  Hold, intensify and then release. 

Work with your breath. 

With each release, remember to let the energy flow down through your thighs, your knees, your calves, your ankles and then out through the soles of your feet.

The contrast of your muscles being taut and then relaxed will facilitate your body to release on a deeper level. 

As you move the energy, thoughts and feelings may rise to the surface; just observe them as they flow out with the energy.  Stored within all muscles is a memory of pain and other feelings.  Theses emotions became trapped when we were tense and worried. 

  • Tighten your buttocks, hold intensify and then release.
  • Inhale sharply while sucking in your stomach.  Pull it up and back, then hold, intensify and release.
  • Tense your back pressing your shoulders downward as if carrying an excessive load.  Hold, intensify, and draw-in a deep breath. Shrug your shoulders as you exhale letting the load slide from you as you send the energy down your back, into your buttock, through your legs and out through your feet.

Identify the contrast between tense and release as you visualize the energy flowing down and out.  Notice if your legs are tingling.

  • Make fists, hold, and intensify.  With the next exhalation quickly open your hands stretching them wide to allow the energy to flow out from the palms of your hands.
  • Raise your elbows tightening the muscles of your upper and lower arms.  Hold until the arms begin to shake.  Release, allowing the energy to flow out through splayed hands.
  • Tense your shoulders again, this time raise them up to your ears.  Hold, intensify and then release.  Roll your shoulders back and then expand them open into a level position.
  • Draw energy up across the back of your scalp and down into your face pulling your features into an exaggerated scowl.  Hold the grimace, growl, and while you continue to hold, draw a deep breath in, then release.  Let the energy wash over you as it flows through your body to release from both your hands and feet.
  • Allow your jaw to slacken.  Tip your head slightly back and feel you brain settle back into your skull as your eyes warm and roll upwards in their sockets.

Take three slow deep breaths and with each exhale think into your body: relax.

The most valuable way to relax is to verbally command yourself to release.  Stress is caused by the inability to let go.  Most individuals respond effectively to verbal suggestions.  Give yourself a self-releasing suggestion; “Let go!” “Relax!” 

Soften your shoulders and allow your mind to quiet. 

After you have worked with the above techniques for a period of time you will be able to accelerate the process and achieve the same results.  Simply tense your entire bodies, hold, intensify, and then release.  Allow the energy to flow over and through you as you command yourself to, “Let go, relax!”

Centering

Centering is the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual act of coming to an inner balance. It is accomplished by finding the personal comfort zone that allows you to feel powerful and in charge of all levels of yourself. One of the most necessary qualities required to develop spiritually and psychically, is clear intent. In order to accomplish this, the body, mind and spirit must contribute to the sense of inner focus. Centering is a powerful tool in the journey to Self-Mastery.

EXERCISE: Centering in the Mind

  • Sit up straight in a comfortable position.
  • Close your eyes.
  • Begin by relaxing your entire body. (See EXERCISE: Relaxation)
  • Clear your mind and emotions. I often visualize erasing a blackboard.
  • Visualize a grid pattern within your head.
  • Mentally follow the lines to the center of the web. Visualize yourself taking a firm grip and anchoring to this center point. (Anytime your attention wanders, use the lines of the grid to pull yourself back to the center of your mind and re-anchor yourself.)
  • You are now centered in your mind.

EXERCISE: Centering in the Heart

Follow the first four steps from above. (See EXERCISE: Centering in the Mind)

  • Visualize a rose bud within your heart. Identify its color, shape and fragrance.
  • Mentally see the rose open and expand until your focus rests in the center of the rose.
  • See yourself sitting within the center of the flower.
  • Smell the aroma. You may use perfume or other scents to facilitate the experience. (Anytime your attention wanders, bend over slightly and inhale. Imagine the petals of the rose surrounding you.)
  • You are now centered in your heart.

EXERCISE: Advanced Centering

  • Sit up straight in a comfortable position.
  • Close your eyes.
  • Begin by relaxing your entire body. (See EXERCISE: Relaxation)
  • Clear your mind and emotions.
  • Breathe in, drawing energy from the Cosmos into your Crown Chakra. Continue to direct this energy down your spine into your Base Chakra.
  • Breathe out, sending energy from your Base Chakra up your spine and out through your Crown Chakra.
  • Pull yourself inwards towards your spine as you continue to breath in and out, receiving and sending energy.
  • Become the energy you are breathing.
  • You are now centered within yourself.

In Loving Memory

Today was the funeral for the two Powell boys, Charlie and Braden, killed at their father’s home on Super Bowl Sunday.  There are moments in time when I do not know how to respond, my humanity wants to scream and rage at injustice and yet my soul is calm, assuring all is well.   When Susan’s parents state with firm conviction that the boys are with their mother, I know, to the depths of my soul that this is truth.

There is so much I want to say.  Yet, this is not about me, it is about the powerful lives that brushed mine in their passing.  I knew Susan, she was my daughter’s best friend.  I have so much I want to say.

God grant us peace.

GROUNDING

• Sit up straight in a comfortable position.
• Close your eyes and become focused on your breath allowing it to flow in and out in a relaxed repetitive pattern.
• Begin by relaxing your entire body. (See EXERCISE: Relaxation)
• Clear your mind and emotions.
• Visualize a small miniature of the world with you self sitting in your chair with your eyes closed, and a strong bar of metal passing through the interior of the earth.
• Now visualize your tailbone extending down into the earth like a long straight tap root.
See this prehensile tail wrapping around and securing you to the metal rod at the center of the earth. Give it several strong tugs to establish that it is secure.
Now, bring your attention back to the soles of your feet. See your feet planted in the thick earthy loam of the soil. Visualize energy running from the ground up through the soles of your feet filling your entire body with Earth energy as if you are an empty container. Take the time and make the image very complete. See energy filling your legs and moving upward into your head, flowing down your arms and into your fingers and finally overflowing from the top of your skull.
Next, look up through your third eye and visualize light pouring down from the heavens above, make it as real as you can image. This light is a healing ray and will appear in whatever form and color is most beneficial. Some people prefer to draw in white or gold light claiming it has the highest frequency. I just allow whatever is in my highest good to flow through in the individual moment. To me it often looks like a descending helix, blending many different colors. Other times it is like a magical rain, sparkling with golden or white light. Now, see this light entering through your crown chakra and filling you up from the soles of your feet until it also cascades from the top of your head.

As the earth energies and the cosmic light come into contact, you may hear a soft hissing sound as they respond to each other by expanding into an effervescent loam.
You are now grounded.

Connecting with Others:
At this point you may wish to connect with others around you without being influenced by their energy fields. Some individuals have a tendency to drain energy

2012

 

2012 Here and Now

For the last 30 years, the spirit guide, Simeon has been channeling through me on the topic of earth changes.  Over the last 25 years I have been hosting workshops and events to help others become more informed on what is happening within our reality. It has been exciting to be part of this revelation. And now as we come to the finish, I stand in awe at what has been achieved.

I have been instructed to share this with everyone, but it will take me a little time to lay it out, so stick with me on this.

January 15, 2012 I am holding another Earth Changes Seminar where Simeon will offer new information and help instruct teach of us to our part within this incredible awakening.

Sometimes the best place to begin is at the beginning. So I will recount it as the Guides have told it to me.

Ah, the Guides, who are they? The abbreviated answer is that they are friends, family and helpers that assist us from the spirit realm.  I often refer to them as people without their physical vehicle, though guides can be more than just deceased individuals.  Guides can be angels, animal and individuals that have never lived in the physical realm.

I am open to work with any guide or angelic being of my integrity level or higher.  Allowing them to talk to me or through me is called channeling.

The Creation Story

In the beginning there was void.   All that existed was within the conscious mind of God.   Nothing existed that was not God.  When God held a though it formed into mater.

Then God held the thought that He would like to perceive Self.  In that instant a reflection was formed, it was like a musical chord.  This pattern consisted of many varied vibrations each uniquely different, all expressing the individual qualities of God.

Each note within this tonal reflection was an aspect of the Divine. Humanity was of the 3rd vibration expressing the qualities of unlimited manifestation.  As Humanity became conscious they began to notice the other races that were also reflections of the God thought.  These other beings expressed varied qualities of God and existed in other dimensions. Little by little, humans begin to perceive that they were limited to the 3rd dimension while other races had access to higher realms.  This frustrated Humanity and thus they chose to experiment with their ability to manifest.

Experiment Earth

It was decided that a world would be created which forced individuals to evolve.  With the assistance of some of Humanities siblings, the planet Earth was created.  The Leumarians, from the 8th dimension, laid out the original template.  Their gift of Divine architectural design was used to create this karmic pattern which causes individuals to have experiences that lead to higher understanding.  Through the constant contrast and comparison Humanity began to evolve.

We are witness to the fact that this Karmic template has worked and Humanity has succeeded in transcending its consciousness.  Currently there exists on the Earth three levels of consciousness, the 3rd, 4th and 5th.

To understand this better I would have you examine the chakras.  There are seven primary energy centers in the body.  They are as follows:

  1. Base Chakra – Survival – located at the base of the spine
  2. Second Chakra – Intimacy – located in the reproductive area
  3. Solar Plexus -  Mental – located in below the navel
  4. Heart Chakra – Emotions – located in the heart area
  5. Throat Chakra – Expression -  located in the throat
  6. Third Eye – Awareness – located between the eyebrows
  7. Crown Chakra – Divine Connection – located on the top of the head

The 3rd dimension is governed by the mind, the 4th dimension by the emotions, and the 5th by expression or communication.  If we study our reality we can see those who function from 3rd dimensional or 3rd chakra consciousness of control through use of the mind.  Those of the 4th dimension appear to be emotionally available.  And those of the 5th dimension are part of this incredible technological surge of communication and artist expression.

2012 is a time when Earth has expanded to encapsulate three different levels of consciousness.  For those who are familiar with Hermetic Law we know that “As above, so below; As below, so above.”   In other words the Earth is a macrocosm of a microcosm and therefore the laws of nature govern all levels of this reality.  So, this increased consciousness is comparable with cellular maturation.   Because this reality has grown so large it must divine.  This mitosis will happen dimensionally creating a 5th as well as a 3rd dimensional planet.

In mitosis the mother cell divides into two daughter cells which assimilate different parts of the original cell.  Earth will be divided into two separate planets with the genetic properties of the original planet, including the karmic template.  One new Earth will exist in the 3rd dimension having a Marshall Law State.  The other new Earth will exist in the 5th dimension retaining the existing technology and becoming a one world community in a 2000 year of Christ Consciousness.

Thousands of cells divide each day in your body; this worldly mitosis is as subtle.  It’s time to awaken and witness the greatest achievement of Humanity.

4 Count Breath

 This pattern of breathing will shift you from SURVIVAL to HEALTH mode.

 Begin by softening your shoulders and allowing yourself to fully relax.

  •  IN – Slowly inhale through your nose to the count of four.
  • HOLD – Hold the same breath for an additional four counts.

  •  OUT- Slowly exhale to the count of four.
  •  HOLD – the out breathe to the count of four.

REPEAT

If you are unable to hold your breath for four counts, lower the count to two and then gradually increase until you are able to hold to the count of four.

Use the 4 Count Breath when you are ready to sleep and your sleep will be more healing as it will shift you out of SURVIVAL Mode.
