light12Every thought and emotion sends out vibrations. Whether these are constructive or destructive depends on the inherent positive or negative nature of the vibrations. Strong vibrations accumulate into the collective global human consciousness and invisibly influence human behavior. Each one of us lives within the energy field of the collective human consciousness.
The sheer amount of negative vibrations generated by humanity, especially in the last millennia, full of violence, genocide, aggression, corruption, greed, etc. have made the field toxic. Each negative act of non-love and hatred increases the chances of generating more of the same. To break this cycle, humanity has to choose and manifest Love and Light individually and channel Light to cleanse the vibrational pollution of energies. Purging the collective global human consciousness of negative vibrations and increasing positive vibrations will create an environment wherein lasting Peace can thrive.
Channeling Light is the best and the easiest way of purification at the individual, familial, communal as well as the global level. Light works at the sub-grassroots level of energies which precede thought, emotion and action, hence positivizing those who channel Light. As the Light is spread around engulfing the whole world, the ocean of vibrations we live in also gets purified.
Light is the Energy of God, Light is God. It has infinite potential to establish all the Divine Values right here, right now. Using our Freewill we have to request the Divine Power of Light and intend that Light heals each one of us and the world. There is an invisible fraternity of highly advanced Spiritual Masters who have been, and are, working behind the scenes to help humanity overcome its limitations and realize its full potential. Let us take this assistance being provided and shine with Light.
You can contribute to World Peace. Channel Light for seven minutes daily, from anywhere at any time for at least seven minutes or as long as you feel comfortable. Transmute the collective human consciousness into a sacred Ocean of Light.

How to Channel Light

Imagine an ocean of Light above you. Imagine / intend that the Light descends and fills up your body. Then, experience the Love and Peace of the Light for a minute and then, imagine / intend it spreading out gradually to your home, locality, country and the world.

What is Light?

Light is the Creative Intelligence behind the Creation. Light is the formless God. From this Light, an ocean of Consciousness emerged, and from that this whole Creation. This Light is everywhere in the Creation.
Light is energy. It carries within Itself Love, Wisdom and Energies. This Light is not the physical light. It is very subtle and pervades the higher subtler realms. It can be accessed by thought, Meditation and by extending our Awareness. It can help us in every way at the individual as well as the global levels.

What is Light Channeling?

It is allowing the Light to descend into us by intending and then spreading it around the entire world. Our body transforms the higher frequency of the Light to a grosser level.
How does Channeling Light help?
The vibrations from the Light reach all beings and nature. They carry the energies of Healing, Love, Peace and Positivity. They help Transformation. We will be better human beings. Our world will be a better world.
How does it help the individual?
The quality of our thoughts, emotions and actions improve. Conflicts reduce. Efficiency improves. Our life will be a better one.

Who can channel Light?

Anyone and everyone can channel Light.

Is any preparation required?

No preparation is required; except the desire to change ourselves and the world.

Are there any restrictions?

No.

Little Things mean a lot ! So: “Stay a Lover of Little Things!”

Those who wish to sing, always find a song. –Swedish proverb

Stay A Lover of Little Things

–by Hannah Brencher, Original Story, May 01, 2013


No matter what big cities you go off to and big opportunities you are graced with, always take time to acknowledge the little things.Never give up on the things that make you smile, because smiling is one of the most important things we can do in this world.

Find time to just wander. With No Direction. No Plan. No Time Restrictions.


Look for beauty everywhere you go. The ladybugs on the windowsill. The sunflowers in the backyard. The skyscrapers in a new city. The faces of strangers and family alike.

Form family in every place. Form family by reaching out a hand to people who need to hold one, calling someone to brighten their day, giving up your time for others with no exasperation of ever needing to have those minutes repaid.

LEAP. LEAP HIGH: LEAP FAR: LEAP WHEN YOU SEE THE LANDING POINT. LEAP WHEN YOU SEE NOTHING THAN DARKNESS.

It's worth repetition: Stay a lover of little things. Spider Webs. Children Laughing. Band Aids. Light Weight Sneakers. Coins. Cheetos.

Refuse to keep your feelings bottled up: cry, scream, yell, stomp your feet, spit. Do whatever it takes to feel outside of your own mind.

Go to concerts. Dance on stage. Be the best damn tambourine player you can be. Have a crush on the lead singer.

Be unafraid of your heart: Whatever and whoever makes it beat. You could keep it sheltered forever if you please, but hearts become more versatile the more we use them. Better that we risk them breaking through good use rather than breaking them from never using them at all.

Wake up every day with the intention of painting something beautiful. Some days, you won't feel like you have all the right colors. These days, borrow colors from others.

Carry a kazoo wherever you go. You will continually stumble across people who are having a birthday and are in need of a good song.

Aspire to be something wonderful. Something Remarkable. Every Single Day.


Don't pay too much attention to all of the hubbub about ultraviolet rays. The sun is far too glorious to not let it kiss your face and plant freckles on your shoulders sometimes.

Drop everything. Absolutely everything. For a good friend in need.

Nothing in this world stops you from being an artist, a dancer, the best writer this world has ever seen. If anyone stops you, it is only yourself.

Counting Blessings. Don't count calories too crazily. Count kisses (especially the forehead ones). Never ever worry about counting friends. Don't count money before you have it.

Ask outlandish questions.


You can tell a lot about a person by asking the question, "If you had one night to be any performer on stage, who would it be?"

Be good to people but don't give them everything or every part of you. Especially if there is evidence that they may tamper with your heart.

Take long walks on the beach.

Walk sometimes instead of drive.

One last thing on walking, take time every day to walk outside of yourself. You will quickly find that the world does not revolve around you, and sorry to say, it never did.

And remember: Stay a lover of little things no matter how big your dreams may be. Stamps. Sonnets. Hot Chocolate. Dessert. Songs that read your soul. Tears of Joy. Tears, in general.

Home is not so much a noun as it is a cross between an adjective and a verb. Be home to someone. Hold close to those who feel like home.

Add something sequined, silver, or red to any outfit you wear out for a night. A silver bangle never fails, and patent red pumps are unstoppable at any age.

Write poems. Without rhyming or worry about iambic pentameter. Without judging them. Just write poems because they are groovy and we are all poets.

Make pet names with every letter of the alphabet. Leave no B, G, or E unused.

Start the morning quietly. When you step outside or get stuck in your dose of morning traffic, you will have wished you had that solitude.

Make your efforts big but remain little. No one likes a big head.

When you feel a pulling in your heart or a weight on your chest, don't push off the feeling. Let it flood you, push you around, challenge you. Under pressure, diamonds are made. Welcome darkness and welcome change.

Never stop asking yourself, "What do I want to be when I grow up?"


Not everyone in life is going to care about you, your favorite breakfast foods, or your pet peeves. Don't even try to make them. Just appreciate those who come into your life and do care.

Have coffee or tea in the morning. Or just something warm. Feel the warmth on your hands. Let it spread to your soul.

Don't expect the world to understand all that you attempt to do. Your dreams will only fly if you first give them wings. And another thing, let the world think you are crazy. Crazy is good.

And never forget: Stay a lover of little things, above all else. Prayers. Pearls. Compliments. Movie Nights. Letters from Home…Home.

And those who believed in you first.

Re-blogged from : "Removing The Shackles"


The Sun is dancing a tango again.  Lots of information below, including SuspiciousObservers latest update (bottom).



For the SkyWatchers out there, you might find this article from Watchers interesting:

M-Class: 40%
X-Class: 05%

Active Watches
Geomag. Storm     YES
Radiation Storm     NO
 



Added 05/01/2013 @ 03:40 UTC Monster Eruption One of the largest prominence eruptions in quite some time was observed off the eastern limb. This image by SDO using the 304 angstroms channel captures the massive blob of plasma in action. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is to be expected, however because of the location, it should be directed mostly away from Earth. Stay Tuned for updates. 


UPDATE: The large eruption from just beyond the east limb may have been in conjunction with a solar flare around old Sunspot 1719. This image by STEREO Behind captures the flash of the flare event. The solar rotation will carry old region 1719 into view later this week. A bright Coronal Mass Ejection is now visible in the latest STEREO imagery. Because this event took place beyond the east limb, the plasma cloud should have little impact on Earth.


A spectacular prominence eruption was observed on the Sun on May 1, 2013 at 02:30 UTC. The event was classified as a farside eruption from active region located beyond eastern limb. This was the largest such event in quite some time now.

Powerful blast was unleashed into space and resulting Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is not Earth directed. This region should rotate onto Earth facing side of the Sun in 2-3 days.

Flare probability

At 01:26 UTC, an impulsive C9.6 solar flare was detected. 

The event was centered around Sunspot 1730 located in 

the southern hemisphere.

NOAA SWPC forecasters estimated 40% chance for M-

class, and 5% chance for X-class event today.

Sunspots

There are currently 7 numbered sunspot regions on the 

disk. Beta-Gamma-Delta classified Region 1731 is the one to watch today as it is directly facing Earth. Region 1730, also Beta-Gamma-Delta, is slowly rotating out of Earth's view. Other than that, Regions 1732 and 1734 have Beta magnetic field and will turn directly toward Earth in the coming days.

Old Region 1719 is coming back to Earth side of the Sun 

and should be visible in next 2-3 days.

Trance and Shamanic States of Consciousness

May 1, 2013 | By | Reply

Flickr - Trance - Armando MaynezFranco Santoro, Guest Writer
Waking Times
The term trance comes from the Latin transire, which means "to go over" or to move from one state to another. Although this word is often popularly associated with unusual states of mind or altered states of consciousness, its implied conditions play a vital role for all human beings and extend in all areas of life, from shamanic journeys, meditation, dreaming, day-dreaming to watching television, reading a newspaper or doing housework.

To experience a state of trance or enter a shamanic state of consciousness, means to achieve an ecstatic awareness and perception that extends beyond the physical senses and functioning of the ordinary mind. What I perceive in everyday life is merely the result of what I have decided to see in accordance both to the consensus reality (agreed by my social environment) and my specific role in that context. I have conditioned myself to see the world through the development of defined programmes, but when I shift my awareness beyond the ordinary mind, which keeps repeating those programmes, then I perceive the world in a different way. One of the basic assumptions of shamanism is that I am not a physical being: I am an energy field or I am part of the whole. Actually, from a more genuine shamanic perspective, the entire notion of I, seen as separate from you and them, does not make any sense at all. In bygone ages, human beings lost connection with this awareness and have since confined themselves almost exclusively to identification with the physical body and the idea of being a fragmented unit (no matter whether I call it ego, personality, self or soul). Shamanic experience is one way in which it is possible to perceive others, the world and myself in their original united forms again. Trance and shamanic states of consciousness are part of the genetic structure of mankind. Each one of us has an inner biological need for ecstatic experience. The problem is that such experiences, as is emphasised by the terms used to define them (altered or non-ordinary states of consciousness, hallucinations, trance, etc.), are often regarded as abnormal or dangerous. In the majority of contemporary human cultures they do not find space in the official educational or scientific context and tend to be socially unacceptable. As a consequence, this unmet need often ends up being expressed through harmful manifestations such as alcoholism, drug addictions, perversion, sex addiction, criminality, etc. Shamanic states of consciousness represent the major taboo for the ordinary perception of the world as they cause its deceptive structure to vanish and expose to the secrets of our origin, that is where we truly come from and how and why we got to be here.

A large portion of humanity seems to live in a state of ecstasy deprivation, as the anthropologist Felicitas Goodman calls it, yet the ecstatic experience is a fundamental need. The contact with the source of this need is disturbed or blocked by something that occurred in a distant past and that extends far beyond official historical documentation. According to various researches, ecstatic experiences and the relationship with non-ordinary dimensions constituted a daily routine for the people who once inhabited our planet. These were nomad hunter-gatherers that later gradually abandoned their customs and moved to horticulture and animals husbandry. As a result, human beings retreated into limited territories and began to lose the connection with the rest of nature and existence, which they once knew so well. In their spiritual practices, however, they continued to keep the link with the experiences of former cultures. Through the metamorphosis activated by trance states they could again enter into ecstatic states of consciousness and activate their relationship with other realms. Shamanism developed as the attempt to preserve and access those connections. For this purpose various methods and tools were transmitted until, with the expansion of belief systems based on separation, shamanic states of consciousness became incompatible with the consensus reality that prevailed on most parts of our planet.

In recent societies, perceptions beyond the physical body have been generally ignored or disregarded. The forms I see with my physical eyes, identified with names and specific shapes, have been extracted from their original unity and transformed into fragmented pieces. They are seen as definite configurations and separated from each other by areas termed as nothing or void. The acknowledgement of these separated units and the denial of the forms found in the empty spaces represents the basic assumption on which the current perception of most human beings is founded. I see and identify the physical spaces to which I have decided to attribute meaning, yet I do not see anything in the areas that exist between those spaces because I have decided that they do not have any meaning. Most mankind seems to live in a symbolic reality where only that which is conventionally accepted is acknowledged as real, whereas everything else disappears from sight and dwells in a dimension surrounded by fear and mystery. In my perception we have become estranged from something of which we were once aware, establishing a mythology of separation where unity and ecstasy are the most rooted taboos. As we believe we are individuals severed from other people and the environment, we tend to invest much energy to exploit our fellows and the Earth, acting as the 'separated' cells of a cancer. This causes enormous damage to our planet and ourselves. As we have split with the Earth, we have also disconnected with the dimension of the Sky. Through a blind adherence to religious and social conditionings, we have denied a natural and direct access to Spirit, resigning ourselves to the power of religious teachings or hierarchical structures to operate as mediators between us and God.

Through shamanic work each one can obtain visions and spiritual experiences without any mediation. This is not a question of mounting opposition to political and religious authorities; this is what we have been doing throughout history and it has resulted only in even more grievances and separation. To achieve ecstatic experiences and visions I need to give up being a victim. It is the attachment to this condition that prevents me from taking responsibility and pushes me into a frantic search for a well-being that will never come. According to shamanism, as I see it, the true revolution consists of taking the courage to face the spiritual or inner world, for it is from this world that all that seems to be outside emanates. This does not mean that life should be limited to shamanic journey or shamanic states of consciousness. These experiences are important, yet I also need to take physical actions. Often it is necessary to be simple and see the world with the ingenuity of a child. For example, I can go among the trees in nature, and take care of them or speak with them, both in the imagination and also by actually communicating. Trees will find a way to reply and to tell me something about myself. What is the difference between men and plants? Plants do not judge. I create complex problems with my judgements and the conviction that my problems are due to something that was done to me or that exists outside. When this happens, I create further separation and this contributes only to increasing my pain. Alternatively, I can relate to the ordinary activities of everyday life: working, washing, cooking, talking, playing, walking, driving from the perspective of their true but hidden and shamanic essence.

In the western world what counts is the goal. To reconnect with the Earth and the Sky what matters is the present, not the destination. Trance or shamanic states of consciousness have to do with the present and with getting out of the most dangerous trance: that of my conditioning and daily conventions. The fact is that on the Earth we are always in some kind of trance and the actual work consists of learning to balance such states and of being aware that you cannot go into a new trance without moving out of the one you are already in. When there is unbalance I live in a state of hallucination where I perceive pain, anger and all kinds of grievances. When there is balance I choose consciously to open only to the trance states that bring love, ecstasy, peace and blessings to me and others.



Opening up to shamanic states of conscience and non-ordinary realities means to truly say yes to life and to be fully responsible. It means to accept becoming a conscious part of the universe, choosing to trust a divine purpose, identifying with the maximum expressions of our being and moving further to project this potential on all that surrounds me. It is a process that requires my sole individual consent. After all, it is a choice between a state of total responsibility regarding my perception of the world and a condition of passive victim to events determined by others. The process of taking responsibility develops gradually, through a progressive healing work that, through our attempts and experiences, releases blocks and grievances. It is a painful process because the ego's inability to identify culprits outside itself prevents it from finding a refuge to preserve its hallucinations. At the same time, this process is an act of love aimed at carefully determining the access to one's inexhaustible tools of power. These tools have been kept hidden in the unexplored territories of the shamanic world. The only way to access them consists of moving beyond the trance of ordinary reality. This can occur spontaneously and without complex procedures. The precariousness and the illusion of conventional reality is such that anyone can access the perception of what exists beyond. In this regard it is a question of considering and developing a series of experiences to which no importance is usually given: for example, dreams, visions, fantasies, intuitions, shadows, spaces of void between one object and the other, etc. A more operative method consists in employing shamanic techniques. Their task is to create gaps in the awareness and therefore facilitate access to new channels of communication.

The basic experience of shamanic states of consciousness is ecstatic and an important way to accomplish it consists of employing particular stimuli, able to produce alterations in physical perceptions. In this regard various possibilities have been transmitted according to traditions. Sometimes they are ferocious methods, of complex or difficult management, such as the employment of poisoning substances or hallucinogenic plants, intensive temperature conditions, sensory deprivation, painful practices of initiation, etc. In other contexts non traumatic and playful tools are used, such as chant, dance, drumming or other auditory aids, massage, body postures, or other simple ritual practices. While the first methods expose us to the risk of dangerous repercussions on the physical or mental plane and generally require a complex preparation hardly accessible to contemporary man, the latter, besides being very efficient, are safe and within easy reach of anyone who honestly wishes to have a shamanic experience.

Once a shamanic state of conscience is achieved, the decisive element that determines the ecstatic experience is always represented by the will to receive it. The exercise of this will requires practice and patience as it often clashes with a wall of obstacles (doubts, fears, uncertainties, distrust, etc.) created by the ego's defence system. Despite the strong oppositions and conditioning of the consensus reality, shamanic states of consciousness are regularly experienced by all human beings. What is missed is solely the willingness to acknowledge them or consider them significant. For those who are available to open to this path, the answers arrive sooner or later. An ecstatic world defines itself in all its particulars and give a sense of indescribeable love and beauty. When this happens, the classical question that most people ask themselves is: "Did I make it all up by myself?". The answer to this question is the secret key of shamanic work.
