Age is irrelevant. At 71 I have just returned from the 200-hr YTT at Conscious Yoga Academy in Greece on the island of Karpathos, with 21 other students from all over the world. Our days were filled with Patanjali’s Eight Limbs for Self Realization. Now I will share all my wisdom with you and the world will be a better place. joyinkelowna@gmail.com

"How many years of beauty do I have left?
she asks me.

How many more do you want?
Here. Here is 34. Here is 50.

When you are 80 years old
and your beauty rises in ways
your cells cannot even imagine now
and your wild bones grow luminous and
ripe, having carried the weight
of a passionate life.

When your hair is aflame
with winter
and you have decades of
learning and leaving and loving
sewn into
the corners of your eyes
and your children come home
to find their own history
in your face.

When you know what it feels like to fail
ferociously
and have gained the
capacity
to rise and rise and rise again.

When you can make your tea
on a quiet and ridiculously lonely afternoon
and still have a song in your heart
Queen owl wings beating
beneath the cotton of your sweater.
Because your beauty began there
beneath the sweater and the skin,
remember?

This is when I will take you
into my arms and coo
YOU BRAVE AND GLORIOUS THING
you’ve come so far.
I see you.
Your beauty is breathtaking.

We are all linked Everything is linked We make up the cellular body of the oneness. Our souls are light sources that make up the light force called the infinite supreme energy force “god”. Our Soul’s primary purpose is to evolve in order to become the infinite oneness. Our soul’s secondary purpose right now depends on our contract with the Earth mother Terra, which can shift as we evolve. The essence of our being is just that - being - “to be”. To be the truest essence of our soul. Each soul has an essence imprint like a soundprint, which guides us in our expansion and expression of consciousness, subconsciousness, superconsciousness, and unconsciousness.
Our physical form is like a new costume every time we incarnate or reincarnate (to this planet). This costume/mask is a cellular tapestry of past-present-future oneness that supports our soul’s journey and our personal earth link journey of evolution. We have free will to use the positive expressions (pockets) or the negative expressions (pockets) of our costume, or we can remain neutral with no movement of conscious expansion.
There are (for now) 3 very helpful predominant bodies within each of us that supports our expansive evolutionary existence. Each “body” consists of a set of chakras (energy stations along the spinal cord and up into the head). The “set of chakras has expanded since earth mother terra’s rebirth in winter solstice 2012-2013-spring equinox 2014. At the end of her rebirth (which we all supported energetically) she “cocooned” each of us in order to reset our energy field matrix, as per our body’s comfort zone, so that there would be no healing crisis. But we have free will and some light workers were anxious to escalate to a new level before their time and may have experienced a healing crisis. I will reiterate - very rarely is there “fast tracking” in this world of spiritual expansion. When we, the human races, emerged from our healing cocoons (energetically), we felt a readiness to awaken to the knowing of the old fifth dimensional memories. We felt drawn to truth. We wanted truth and knowledge and wisdom. Each of, on our own, is awakening to a higher dimensional frequency of light and sound. It is our time to gather the light of our souls and become one light force in order to heal the earth and move her into her pristine state of beingness. Each of us is empathetic to her plight. We were all invited here to help her clean up the old mess through our beingness. This gravitational heart pull is getting stronger each day Our old and new senses are exacerbated each day. We desire peace and harmony again.
Here are the three current main bodies that support this movement of our current consciousness:-
1. Our power body
2. Our heart body
3. Our mind body
1. The Power body consists currently of your root/base chakra, your sacral chakra, and your solar plexus chakra. The Power body is strongly linked/threaded towards and into the earth’s womb “hollow earth”, in order to plug into the earth’s Akashic records. From here you receive copious amounts of wisdom and knowledge when you connect to the earth.
2. The Heart body consists of the temporary “sternam” chakra (lower heart); the Heart chakra where your soul rests and nests and you “feel” your knowingness the strongest; the new Thymus chakra (your highest heart self), which is where you can connect to the god force of All That Is, in a way that has not existed for us humans over the last cycle of three hundred thousand years; and now included in the Heart body is the Throat chakra, - rather than left on its own, where it was sabotaged again and again in past lifetimes (no more!).
3. The Mind body has shifted/altered the most for us all. We can use it or leave it be and let it sit in neutrality (free will). This is the God mind. This is the active intelligence of All That Is. The base of the skull is called the Medulla Oblongata chakra (I call it the Chief or in humour - Captain Kirk)). The repitillian brainstem is no longer interfering with our mindset. Sometimes it is called “the Well of Springs”. Second in command is the Pituitary chakra (no longer a minor chakra even though it is still a gland. It carries all the messages to all the systems in the body. The Ear chakra has become part of the Mind body through the awakening of telepathy. The Third Eye is our “vision” of the void/non-void Infinite All. Connected to the Third Eye is the Pineal chakra - no longer a minor gland chakra but an extremely important connection to the Active-intelligence-god-mind. And, the Crown chakra which links us to the heavens above (as above so below) The Crown is a portal to the outer worlds of Higher intelligent activity. The Crown’s portal resonates with the two antennae extensions of floating male and female energies. We create a braiding energy field from the two antennae that I call Ida (female) and Pingala (male).

We are awake. We are One. We are divine.
Namaste aj (Jiva)

1. Imagine a womb in each body. Within the Power Body are three chakra energy stations - root/base, sacral plexus, and solar plexus.

The earth mother has purpose just like us humans. She has evolved from a “teacher” energy essence and rebirthed into a “healer” energy essence. We evolve - she evolves / she evolves - we evolve. As she evolves, this cosmos shifts and evolves. As the cosmos evolves, this universe shifts and evolves. As our universe evolves, all universes evolve, thus expanding the infinite consciousness of All That Is.
The purpose of Earth is to become a beam (let’s call it a beam-ball) of healing light (wisdom). Yes, it orbits the sun. Yes, it is a planet of renewable energies that feeds us if and when we allow it.
Imagine this beam-ball of light entering your root chakra and rolling up your body, through each chakra energy station, activating and releasing (old memories) at the same time, until it reaches your head, where you will allow that beam-ball to stay for as long as you can hold the vision. Then release it through your crown Chakra until you feel this energy field of light surround your body in a million rays of divine consciousness (which feels like unconditional love).
We all have work to do on this planet now, that will come to you in a dream, or through nature, or from a physical form or friend. Let go of the state of time and let life itself float. Stay open to new possibilities and ideas. Stay centered and grounded. Stay awake and feel the hope of this new world and trust in your higher self.
Namaste aj Jiva 🙏

It can be overwhelming to initiate our newly awakened self awareness into action. This is a world where economic restrictions make choosing meaningful work challenging but not impossible. It is amazing and magical how opportunities pop open when we make a commitment to act from an inner intuitive sense of purpose. There is that “knowing” that surrounds us when we ask for guidance and support. Many humans are beginning to discover a transformation in their life through a slight shift in their perception, which in turn, creates a surge of creativity. It is called inspiration. Inspiration can come in so many different ways. There is no one right way. As we all come into a greater alignment with our soul’s life purpose, we realize how our own development and personal destiny are linked and inseparable from world destiny and our beloved Earth mother Terra and her cosmos.
Sweet dreams Namaste aj

When The Universe has something to share with me, I am awakened around 3:00am. I watch my body language and if there is any resistance, I really pay attention. Even the way I cross my legs or c**k my head is an indicator of the way my life is leaning in that moment. Recently I have been studying, “Cosmic Conversations” by Stephan Martin. My bookmark opens to James Gardener, who specializes in evolutionary evolution. I am always searching for truths and recently desired confirmation of certain channeled wisdoms from 2004-2014 by my Council of Twelve. Not that I ever have or would doubt my Council, but because I want to integrate science with spirit.
I believe and “know” that the human races are expanding their intelligence - able to decipher information faster - and James Gardner agrees with me. He believes in cosmological evolution, as I do, through the possibility of universal reproduction through the “black hole mother universes, in that the black holes are “gateways to new baby universes”. This theory is a continuation of the work by Lee Smolin, if you want to check.
Now it gets even better because a computer genius, John von Neumann, lectured his “Theory of Automata” in 1948 (not that long ago) where he stated:- any self-reproducing object (mouse, bacterium, human, or baby universe) must possess four essential elements:- 1. A blueprint - (we are all born with a pre-determined blueprint by our Soul and Soul Family before reincarnation - it is likened to a map of our life which is governed with individual free will). 2. A factory to carry out construction - (the human body is the factory, or the outer world entity is the factory - each reproducing through their dimensional frequency components). 3. A controller, to ensure that the factory follows the plan - (each person or entity has a form of brain with a level/dimension of intelligence). 4. A duplicating machine, to transmit a copy of the blueprint to the offspring - (humans have a delicate reproductive system used for genetic reproduction).
Here is where I come in with my story (thank you for your patience) — In 2004 when I first began to channel as a pure vessel for The Council of Twelve, “they” (the Council uses one voice for the collective most of the time) shared expressions of wisdom to me. The Council expressed that they would use the word God for what they defined as the Supreme Energy Force. So -- one of my first questions was, “what was before God?”. You see - even if we don’t think we know things - we “know” everything. The information has just been nesting, then percolating, until something jostles it out of the nest, like a mother bird. *But how we perceive what is around us depends mostly on our vibratory frequency and the collective dimensional frequency we live in. Sorry, got sidetracked. My question about God, just flew out of my mouth. The Council gave me an immediate answer that I have pondered over for the last 16 years. Question “what was before God?” - answer - “there were eight and a half God forces”. Oh my goodness, where do you go with that? Since then I have come to understand it and have taught this theory of interpretation:- we live is a cosmological evolutionary infinite expression of this Supreme Energy Force. Constant movement. I am a visionary so I could see eight eggs lined up in a row, but each overlapping at the end of each egg. This overlapping is where the transition occurs, thus often in slower dimensions (ours) there is a collective creation of chaos before the order (remember we have been asleep since our babyhood). I personally call these big beautiful “eggs” Universes. Each one evolved into an expanded expression of the All That Is - The Supreme Energy Force.
Therefore, in my story, there are now 8.5 Universes, and we and Earth and her cosmos, are very much part of this incredible evolutionary process. And... our Earth mother Terra is extremely important in this transformational expansion because she has always been used as a teaching vessel. We are being watched, nudged, nurtured, but never told what to do. It is a universal Law that we have free will “thigh will be done”. A key to this magical process is to ASK. We must ask for help because the outside worlds cannot interfere/support unless we give permission. And... we have lost the ability to ask - we have forgotten our worth. Ask a hundred times a day.
Now back to the 8.5 Universes. My channeled wisdom corresponds with many scientists - just different words and/or pictures. I call these “eight and a half”, “The Nine” - The Active Intelligence / Creator Architects of All That Is. They are each an individual wholistic expression of the Supreme Energy Force, that makes up a collective expression of the All That Is. Just visualize Ukrainian Dolls. We are all microcosms of the macrocosm.

I wake up and I feel haunted. I see the face of a woman who verbally assaulted me yesterday at my local grocery store. Even as I write this I can feel my body contracting. What is wrong with people that they have to be blatantly rude. I wasn’t out of line in any way, shape, or form. Minding my own business, enveloped in a display of food choices, when I hear words cut me like a sword. My immediate reaction was shock, a split second of confusion, then wham, a fight or flight response. I am an innate fighter for the under-dog but I felt like the under-dog in that exchange. Who’s going to protect me?
My life as the mother bear under-dog protector started was when I was five or six. One of the neighbourhood boys “Wally” was the block bully, and was taunting my friends, and some of them were older than I. So I, the short, tousled-haired, tomboy marched up the steps, knocked on his front door, and told him off, with a childlike phrase I don’t remember. It must have been an important act because I was drilled in, “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all”. But whatever I said was effective, because I don’t remember any more bullying on W 13th, just off Cambie. Very cool, one-block street, just around the corner of Vanc. General Hospital (for those of you who know Vancouver). I actually drove back there a few years ago to see if the three-story apartment building that my parents owned was still there (mum inherited money after her dad died when she was 24). And, it was. Sitting alone, suffocated by high-rises.

My nervous system is calmed for a moment with childhood memories, but I am saddened that the covid virus has put us in many fight or flight responses. I think of myself as a good, kind and compassionate person, who has learned to overcome life lessons through a spiritual existence. Yesterday’s grocery store experience pushed me, as others have pushed me to the extreme, over the last couple of months, - ‘the heat of the summer when tempers flare’ - and I am emotionally sick and physically tired of it all. I want to wave a truce flag. I don’t want some road rage driver to fly by me at ridiculous speeds, or some random shopper to tear me apart with blatant rudeness. There is no lesson here for me anymore. It is plain and simple bad behaviour. We say to our children, “your behaviour is inappropriate”, when they misbehave. But what do we say to adults?

Yesterday I responded with the fight part of “fight or flight”, and said “you are so rude, get away from me!”. I walked away shocked and shaking internally and externally. I was like a milkshake, all shook up with bits and pieces floating inside. Now, after a good sleep, I can send the Purple Heart light chords of love, light, and healing. In my mind she is the fall-out of the collective mind. Which tells me there is an enormous amount of healing to do.

Let us not separate or segregate. Let us not isolate and live in fear, but join together in every and all ways that give comfort. We don’t live in a war torn country. Most of us have jobs and food and shelter, and for those who don’t, we do try to help them. Life is a two-sided coin right now, or that proverbial teeter-totter. Find the balance. Find the center-point. Find the truth. Find wisdom. Be the love for the world right now. There is too much pain and suffering. Not from the corona virus, which is an evolutionary virus, like other historical viruses, but from the pain and suffering coming from separation. The life of a human is to gather, and cluster, and flock, together like nature. Are we being “natur-al” now? No we are not. Is this political economy part of our natural growth process? It feels man made, not au-natural. The question is not longer, “can we?”, but, “will we?”, make it a better world for the new rainbow children? Why should they have to clean up our mess? Why should they have to carry the burden of today’s mistakes?

September 2020 is the end and the beginning. The time for sitting is over and the time for doing is about to begin. What is your beginning? How can you help this world transition from old pain and suffering to new world peace and harmony? Each and every person has free will to make a choice. Let’s choose consciously and with heart. Our Soul will always guide us. Just open your heart, and there lays your Soul, nesting in the palms of the heart.
Namaste with blessings of love, light and healing Aj

For those of you who wish to use my Spiritual prayer of Protection and Alignment, or for those who wish to use it to create your own:-

Sit in meditation - either on a flat back chair with feet on the floor; or, sit cross legged on a cushion or meditation bench. Take three deep belly breaths and relax your whole body. Feel your mind letting go of the busyness surrounding you. Watch your remaining thought circulating your brain - they will leave slowly over time as you drop deeper and deeper into a meditative state.

First:-
Begin with your Spiritual Energy Cleanse.

Second:-
Call in Earth Mother Terra
“I call forth for the presence of Earth Mother Terra. I call for the presence of the elementals and all nature kingdoms, including whales and dolphins, nature spirits, devas, pan/pandora, the Tree Nation Root System, Earth guardians, Hollow Earth, plus those who have no name”.

Third:-
Link to Earth Mother Terra
“I ask my Higher-self to move my Light-force from Heart Body down and through my Root chakra - through Earth Mother Terra’s crust (skin) into Hollow Earth (womb), with intent to plug into her core crystalline Akashic Record.”
(Visualize/feel the connection) *She will send waves of wisdom to you through this channel.

Fourth:-
I ask my Light-force to move back into body, - clearing and activating all 12 chakras - and move through my Crown chakra, through all 12 Dimensions, and into the divine presence of All That Is. (Visualize, feel, or sense the Third Eye of Source/Creator/God-force)

Fifth:-
Repeat to yourself...
“I align myself with God’s divine love, light, and healing (3x’s)
and,
“I surrender to the Will of God”

Sixth:-
You will visualize/feel/sense brilliant rays of gold coming from the Third Eye of God, surrounding you and your energy fields like a golden dome - a protective solid shield !

May I suggest writing it out then shifting it to suit your journey until your Protection Prayer becomes ingrained in your new matrix.
Ps
Please learn to muscle test - your body holds all the answers when it is energetically clean and protected!!
Namaste aj

I promised a continuation of the Spiritual Cleanse & Spiritual Protect. I was very tired yesterday so I apologize for a few errors, plus (not apologizing) the numerous cliches. My mum must have been present because her old cliches were coming out of my brain. She died Spring 2016, just as the four years of Global exposure kicked started. After she died, she said to me, “I wasn’t there for you then so I will always be here for you now”. And she is. I hear and feel her mostly with music and cliches of the past. Her earth name was Muriel.
Also I wrote that we were completing a 300 year cycle where it should be a 300 thousand year cycle - 12 cycles of approximately 25 thousand years. There are cycles within cycles. One cycle that I have been wrestling with comes from my first question presented to my Council of Twelve in 2004 - “what was before God ?“ - answer - “8.5” I didn’t have the knowledge or confidence that I do now, so I never asked any more about that answer. Often the Divine wants us to figure things out on our own when the time is right. I have a funny sense of humour and responded to that answer with, “eight and a half ... eight and a baby?” What exactly did that mean? Now I have my answer, which most likely will change as I evolve. My story:- The divine presence of All That Is has completed eight evolutionary cycles of creative motion and is now exploring the nineth cycle of the All That Is. As bizarre as this sounds, it feels good to me because there is purpose in what is going on here on Earth. Earth mother Terra has just started her journey of a brand new cycle of 300 thousand years. But first she needed to rebirth from Winter 2012 through Spring 2014 via a series of “little bang” activations. Therefore she needed us all to support her in this incredible magical movement of evolution. She invited us here to be the bearers of the light - to be the torch walkers - to be the planters of the new seeds. We are the pioneers. Each generation has a collective mission and when that mission is accomplished it is time to pass through a portal to the Divine. Those born in the year 2000+ are the New World babies - children of the New Dawn. Let’s guide them with gentle hands and kind words. They are out future. Namaste aj
Ps Spiritual Energy Protect still to come...

08/04/2020

My “spiritual energy cleanse” that has been given to me as a lesson and a gift since 2004. I am often awakened in the middle of the night by the divine telling me I need to cleanse my energy fields, or I need to meditate to quiet my busy mind, or I need to receive insights and wisdom, or I need to study. Usually I am awake for 2-3 hours and do my best work.

Here is what I promised yesterday:-
I call forth for the presence of the Spiritual Hierarchy - the archangelic leagues of light, the angelic hosts and kingdoms, and the ascended masters, including the Great White Brotherhood, the orders of Melchizedek, the orders of Sanctus Germainus, and St Germain. I call forth for the presence of my Lord Archangel Michael, my Lord Archangel Uriel, my Lord Archangel Raphael, and my Lord Archangel Gabriel. I ask that you stand in the four corners of sacred space. I ask that you cleanse sacred space and all people in sacred space, including the land below, the air above, and all inhabitants, animals, kingdoms, and dimensions of sacred space. I ask that you cleanse my auric fields and all bodies - mental, emotional, physicsl, and spiritual bodies, - of all negative energies, negative entities, dark forces, lost souls, lower vibrational extraterrestrials, lower vibrational elementals, reptilian and serpentinian in hiding - from every level of all dimensions in the whole of this Universe. I ask that you guide these dark force lower vibrational frequencies back through their portal consciousness to their Source to be healed by God . After all has been cleansed and cleared, I ask that you “seal” all portals with the seal of the Great White Brotherhood ( a circle with a equal sided cross inside), and bless all portals with God love. Namaste

The reason for expressing this “prayer” incantation every 4 hours was because the spiritual energy cleanse would begin to diminish after the 3rd hour and be gone around the 4th. I would cleanse at 8:00am, noon, 4:00pm, 8:00pm, and midnight if awake, without fail, plus internalize the prayer if I was at a public event or arena. It is now so ingrained it has become who I am. Do you have a spiritual energy cleansing prayer that has been your constant companion and strength? I would never tell anyone what to do or how to do it unless asked - it is Universal Law. But We all have been asked to share the stories of our life. Our world needs our stories for the future. Namaste aj
Ps the “spiritual energy protect” will come tomorrow. I send love, light and healing to All

I committed to my spiritual journey when I turned 37. I opened to the music of my soul. I started to take my power back. I went back to college for the Healing Arts when I was 40 (after ten years of giving birth to three amazing kids), and studied part time for ten years. During those ten years I also experienced some deep healing work through various modalities.
For my 50th celebration of life I travelled to Peru and explored Machu Pichu with a small spiritual group of like-minded people. My personal life had been unravelling slowly, like a ball of yarn, setting me free from lifetimes of memory. Each roll of the dice opened a new can of worms, but some of the worms were so beautiful that I kept on going.
I made a major move. I opened an organic Cafe in the tiny fishing village of Steveston, BC., began Vancouver’s Prana College’s yoga teacher training course, and open a yoga studio beside the Cafe. I started channeling for my Council of Twelve in 2004. I was in training for the next ten years with my Council. My work had begun.
BUT we all need to find a way of grounding our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual body, plus clearing dark energies from our energy body, and protecting our energy body. Remember when you go to the mall or to a party and come home exhausted? Well that is when people, places, or things use your bright light body as a “milkshake”. The lower frequencies of light will feed off the higher frequencies of light.
My Council of Twelve began my first class with an eye popping lesson that I will never forget. I was guided to give my first channel to a meditation teacher, when a dark entity entered my body, and started to express dark words. It was shocking and scary for us both. She told me to leave, and I fled. I sat down immediately in meditation and channeled - “this was your first and most important lesson - you must at all times keep your channels pure and clean and protected”. So I was given this specific Spiritual Energy Cleanse & Protect prayer to repeat every four hours for the next ten years. And I did. This incantation is so ingrained, it is like wearing a prayer cloth at all times. I will give this gift to you all in my next post. It is yours for the taking if you like. It is my gift to you as it was a gift to me. You will never feel alone or lost when it becomes yours. Namaste aj

Let us stay awake. There are many ways of connecting to the divine presence of All That Is. To me the word religion means “union”, the same as the word yoga. If you are religious without judgement and use prayer as a means of reaching oneness, then good for you. If you are a yogi without ego and use heart as a means of connecting to spirit then good for you. If you are a nature lover without abuse and use Earth walking as a means to link to all living creatures then good for you. If you are consciously aware of each breath moment, good, bad, and ugly, then good for you. Let us all accept full responsibility for every action that comes from our thought activity. The power of thought! Our thoughts create form and our thought choices either heal or destroy. We are individually that powerful! Thus we are collectively able to change the world - together.
I remember reading about Drunvelo Melchizedek taking a group of spiritual speakers to the top of the Mexico City mountain. They sat in meditation, with the value of pure intent, and cleared the city’s massive pollution for fifteen solid minutes. The power of intention!
We are a world divided just for now. Be kind to all and every living creature no matter what their belief or their action (as hard as it may be). Your light force will keep you awake and aligned to a universal experience that is still invisible. Be patient. Be kind. We are all worried but don’t let worry become your focus. I send love light and healing Namaste aj

My whole life I have been drawn to the metaphysical world. I watch my 13 yr.old granddaughter explore her life and realize only now how bizarre it was for me, as a just turned 13 yr old, to read “Lobsang Rampa and the Third Eye”. There are many turning points in our lives that help us to recognize who we really are and what our mission is in life. That was one of mine. But before I could read such a heavy book I first needed to fall in love with reading. That particular shift in my life was the result of meeting a new friend in Grade 4. She introduced me to Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, and the Hardy Boys. When I saw her at our 50th class reunion in 2019, I could see and feel the brightness of her being. I was again drawn to her light force.
Each person or place that draws us or inspires us is a lamppost - a beacon - a ray - of shining energy. We have a contract with that visible or invisible energy field. As we awaken, we recognize that field of light and hopefully let it in to our field of dreams.
I remember a leisurely meditative walk on the beach in White Rock. I looked down and picked up a small black rock and immediately heard it say very clearly and very loudly (telepathically), “put me down”. It jolted me out of my reverence and I was shocked by it’s bluntness. That tiny moment was a turning point. I recognized the power of stone - the element metal. I had been communicating with the elementals for quite some time but this time I heard power, rather than a story. Nature awes me. About 9 years ago I put on a pair of men’s hip waders to clean up the Joe Rich Creek after I moved to the Joy of Living Centre. It felt sad and slodgie (my word) so I got in and started to pull weeds and clear it out a bit. All of a sudden I could hear it sing. It was breathing happy - so happy. And it made me happy. The land had a voice, actually many voices, and I started to pay attention more and more. I knew instinctively that it was becoming my nest, my place of refuge and protection from the big bad outside world. The land needed me and I needed the land. We learned to work together to create sacred space, in order for the elements to heal and rejuvenate. There was communication with elementals and the fairy kingdom as well as orbs and ancestral beings. The back 26 acres in the valley was part of this new matrix system for and with the universal star ships. It sometimes sparkled like carnival lights. In 2015 when the last five Dark Lords were removed from the planet, the trees were set free from a three hundred year cycle of increasing bo***ge. Their roots are the Earth’s communication system, duplicating our nervous system. We were all tied in knots lifetime through lifetimes. And now we are all free to breathe freely and expand freely without fear of death. The “Tree Nation Root System” is a nation unto itself. It is part of Earth mother Terra’s body functions. We must stop hurting the trees. The water is a currency that heals so we must protect the blood of the Earth mother. The air currency is her breath. She breathes in our consciousness, processes it, cleanses it, and exhales her wisdom for us to inhale. Like a loop - a clothesline of exchange goes on with nature at all times - whether we are awake or not. She loves us all. There is no judgement only lessons for evolution. Namaste aj
