August 28, 2007, Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces
Moon full and eclipse at 6:36 am Eastern Daylight Time
Loving resistance
Even the part that fights me
Deserves my presence
Feel a little like you are caught in a time
warp? Or perhaps a wind tunnel? If so, you are not alone. Our emotional
experience has been intensifying over the last couple of weeks and will
culminate in this Full Moon Eclipse in Pisces, a water sign. Sensitivity
can overwhelm us or fill us with awe, depending on where our focus is.
If you are focused on the chaotic outer world - overwhelm is likely. Focusing
on nature, beauty, and the small things that are present daily to make
life worth living can fill you with awe. It may be a beautiful meal, wild
flower, the smell of the air, or a sunset that the sensitive person can
take delight in.
A Full Moon in Pisces is best spent near water
or in water. Let the waters soothe and rebalance your emotions. Waves
come and go as the surface of the water is moved by the winds of change
and chaos, yet if we let ourselves go deep, there is a calm beneath the
surface where we can hear the clear inner voice.
Come back to myself
To a place of connection
Harmony and peace

Pathway to the Stars: Entering the Circle of the Soul
Mystery School takes us on a journey to higher consciousness and the embodiment of the divine energy that we are. A prerequisite to using the laws of the universe, such as the Law of Attraction, in a conscious and deliberate way, is to be in alignment with your Higher Self or Soul. Manifestation from a lower level of consciousness usually brings us more lessons on mastering ourselves rather than the result that we desire. This course helps you to master each level of consciousness so that you may become a more conscious creator in your life.
This Mystery School course consists of five lessons. Each lesson includes written material with graphics for study, a lecture, meditation exercises, homework that is emailed to Heron, and discussions questions for the discussion board. Everyone taking the course has access to the Discussion Board so opportunity is available to connect with others who are studying the same Material. You may work through the lessons at your own pace.
Lesson 1 - Circles of Consciousness
Lesson 2 - Mastering the Circle of the Mind
Lesson 3 - Mastering the Circle of the Heart
Lesson 4 - Mastering the Circle of the Soul
Lesson 5 - Living from Awareness
Problems are practice
In this Mystery School called life

Join us for a journey with Jaguar into the dreamscape that holds the answers
to our questions and the seeds of future possibilities.
September 28-30 Dancing into the
Darkness - Jaguar Dreaming Lodge
If we are to survive on this sweet Earth and move into the predicted time
of love and peace, we must learn to be the conscious dreamers of our lives
and our world. Shamans have known how to dream the world and jaguar teaches
us the secrets that the darkness holds. Together we will make our dream
masks, call on the jaguar and dance into the darkness to bring these ancient
wisdom ways more fully into our lives. Join us as we dance, create ceremony
and sacred art, and ride the jaguar into the darkness.
Begins Friday at 7 pm and ends Sunday at noon.
$175 (limit of 15 participants, all meals provided) register by Sept 14

Water Ceremony - Sitting by water, either still or moving, can
bring us to a place of inner peace. Sometime during this Full Moon, sit
by some water. Whether day or night observe the reflections of the sun
or the moon off the water and sense the energy of the water. You are made
mostly of water. Allow yourself to feel the affinity energetically that
you have with water. Water is always changing, moving, flowing and so
is the water in your body. Touch and appreciate the water. Let it teach
you how to flow.
Water flowing by
And moving deep within me
Nourishes my soul
Immersion - Get yourself in a comfortable position, take a few deep breaths and ground yourself with a root into the Earth. Imagine that you are at the beach on a beautiful summers day. You are standing in the sand looking out at the water. Waves are rolling in toward the shore with a slow rhythmic pace. You begin to walk into the water, first getting your feet wet then your ankles, calves and knees. As you slowly walk forward the water rises to your hips and chest. You can feel the force of the waves pushing you as the wind pushes them endlessly toward the shore. You continue walking into the sea, the water covers your head and you notice that you can breathe under water. As if you had stones for feet you continue walking down under the sea. As you do so, the water embraces you and holds you, gently rocking you back and forth, like a mother rocks a child. No more wind driven waves - just gentle rocking. You look up and can see the turbulent water above on the surface, but where you stand, deep in the heart of Mother Ocean, there is nothing but gentle rocking. Know that you can always find this place deep within you. Stay as long as you like and then return to the shore, slowly walking through the water. Come back to present time and space, wiggling your fingers and toes, moving your head and opening your eyes.
Under the surface
The waves are no longer felt
Only the rocking

Changing Time
Linda Heron Wind
Oh where are those lazy, hazy, crazy days
of summer? Well, hazy maybe, crazy for sure, but lazy? I think not! Again
I find myself contemplating the nature of time. I use to think that time
speeds up as we get older - a perceptual thing - but when I first heard
that time is shifting as the vibrations of Earth increases, I reconsidered
that notion. Now I believe that time has compressed or speeded up a couple
of times during the 90's and has just done so again this summer. After
the time shifts in the 90's, an hour was the same as 20 minutes use to
be prior to the shifts. I am not sure what ratio we are working on now,
but it is fast.
That said, it is important to be aware that
time, as we know it, only exists in the third dimension. Higher dimensions
are not organized by time. This leads to interesting shifts in our perception
of time as we shift our own vibration and enter higher dimensions of consciousness.
Two people can be in the same physical space but experience time differently
depending on their state of consciousness. Even within a day we might
find our experience of time speeding along when we are totally in the
third dimension and seeming endless when we enter the fifth dimension.
I find myself struggling some days in the grips
of third dimensional time. The more I hurry, trying to catch up with it,
the faster it seems to run. Only when I stop, settle my mind, and center
myself in a higher dimension do I feel peaceful rhythms returning again,
and then time slows down. Because so many people around us are trapped
in third dimensional time right now, its power to suck us in is enormous.
The illusion of time is a powerful magician that weaves its web within
our minds. The mind likes times orderly and linear progression, yet even
the mind becomes overwhelmed with its hectic pace.
How to become the master of time, now that
is the question! As you free yourself of the third dimensional illusion,
time seems to expand and contract as needed. When traveling, for example,
you might wish to contract time so the journey is shorter, or so you can
make it somewhere "on time." Or you might expand time to be
able to get more done. Such is possible if your consciousness is vibrating
at a higher level. So the first step in mastering time is to raise your
consciousness, then you can make choices about how to experience time.
Simple steps you can take when time seems to be running you ragged are
the following:
- Stop whatever you are doing for a short time and
breathe
- Step outside into nature and observe its pace
- Take a moment to observe your mind to see if it
is quiet or talking
- Tune into any one of your senses - sight, hearing,
touch, taste, smell, and notice its experience in the moment
- Gaze at the moon and notice how slowly it moves
- Drum a slow heart beat
All natural rhythms generally operate at a
slower pace than human consciousness at this time. Most of us live and
work in places that shut out rhythms of nature that normally would stabilize
our minds. Being out in nature or connecting with our body rhythms allows
our minds to entrain to the slower rhythms and our consciousness can then
move to higher dimensions where timelessness abounds. It is another one
of those spiritual paradoxes - to move to a higher vibration, we must
slow down. Then we can choose our relationship with time.
The master of time
Knows when to slow down and wait
For time to notice
