prana tube energies
In the clearing of my prosperity channel my prana tube is a big element. Kathryn had given me guidance to do something more with my prana tube, 3 breathing exercises. One is a breathing practice bringing in 5th dimensional energy and another is to initiate (for future use!!!) a manna program for my endocrine system where my body can be sustained (in the future!!!!) by producing and assimilating it's own energetic "food". I investigated "the endocrine system", drew a picture of the glands, and started doing the 3 breathing programs. My back became very sore. At first I thought I injured myself playing basketball. But dowsing indicated it is my adrenal glands shifting and taking in new energies. I did not even know where they were before. I was guided to do a lot of deep belly breathing today to allow the new energies to assimilate and to send the Divine love and light within me to those who need it most. I immediately think of Haiti and my nieces who lost both their parents in a plane crash in Nov 2008.
Thank you for sharing, listening and for participating in this wondeful shared adventure. Many thanks and love to Mike and Kathryn for co-creating this form of healing and ascension. Thanks to this amazing Universe revealing itself to us. Thank you all!

More Metal, Wood, and Water
For a wood element archetype, this being associated with the liver, the form of imbalance is generally created through excess rather than depletion. It can fool us and look like the symptoms of depletion, because if it becomes chronic, over years of time, excessive enegy will result in a burn out like depletion. This often creates physical symptoms associated with a congested liver, such as skin issues, breakouts, hardening or inflexibility in muscles and tendons, emotional upsets, eye issues and poor eyesight, to name a few.
Wood's restricting element is metal, so when a wood's energy is out of balance, it will show up in a metal form: Paying too much attention to what others think, and being overfocused on detail. Alternatively, the way to restore balance for the over-doing wood, is to turn toward the nourishing element: Water. Water pursuits-developing spirituality and cultivating ease and gentleness in life, will restore balance and regenerate the wood element. An interesting example of this is happening in the sports world right now, and his name is Tiger Woods. In November, Tiger experienced an event that was triggered by many years of excessive behavior. His family, partnership, and golfing career were suddenly placed on the line because of this excess in his life. Today, Tiger came out of seclusion to announce that he was changing his ways, and going back into his Buddhist practice, as he had let go of it for some time. This is the exact illustration of a wood element person restoring balance in his life! (Thanks to Blew Thunder who follows the sports world and gives me updates!
Now lets look ar metal archetypes. Metals are associated with the lungs and large intestine. When they are out of balance, it is usually caused by a state of overwhelm that results in retention of toxicity in the body, and/or respiratory system issues. Over long periods of time, symptoms can develop into more chronic conditions such as asthma and colon cancer.
When metals are out of balance, they reflect the restricting fire element, becoming scattered and distracted, or acting on every impulse. The way back into balance is to look toward the nourishing element, earth. Drawing attention back into their own center and creating balance in the world around them is imperative to restoring a metal's balance.
The water element is associated with kidneys and bladder. With this element, depletion is usually the cause of imbalance. Depleted kidney energy is considered by Chinese medicine to be the cause of all aging. This usually creates symptoms associated with kidneys, such as swelling and edema, lower back pain, decaying teeth, loss of hair, hearing loss, pain or injury in feet and legs, pelvic issues and reproductive system issues.
The water element out of balance will appear as a restricting earth element. Loss of the self in others-getting caught up in the emotional lives of others to the extent of losing ourselves; feeling powerless in life, and perceiving victimization all around are issues.
To restore balance, a water must turn to the nourishing element of Metal, and re-establish boundaries and attend to the details in order to restore balance.
Tomorrow is Saturday, and I will likely not be blogging again until Monday morning. Just in case-have a beautiful couple of days, enjoy the process (and the juices!)

It is a scary place to be being full on confronted by what you fear most by the people you love most who are simply doing their job of self-reflection. So yes I am scared because I don't know what any of this was for. I don't know how to take all that I've gathered and turn it into something beautiful that I can be proud of and inspired by. I don't know if this was simply an experience of the other end of the pendulum out of balance. From overworked to under-worked and now I have to find my way to a happy medium. Does that mean getting a job to support me while I attempt to follow my heart? Maybe. I know I have to be open to whatever it is that is meant to be but I also have to be willing to make something happen for myself in spite of the anxiety and fear I feel. So now I ask myself yet again "Where is your heart, what is it you want to create with all that you've gathered? Attempting to feel into my body for the answer, for the knowing of the next move. The only thing I'm sure of is I must silence the internal and external voices that reek shrilly of fear and urgency. For tomorrow is a myth and today is the gift so really all I need to ask myself is what can I do today? What can I do today? WHAT can I do today!?
back in my body
just figuring this out the blog... Hi! Who's out there?!
I started my 90-day Jan 7 but later received guidance to join the blog. I am doing my last palace, the Health Wealth and Prosperity palace. I did a 2 week core fast then a 9 day juice fast. Then focussing on liver and kidney healing eating lots of hard dark leafy greens, seaweeds, juice, miso, soft round beans, vegetables, winter squash, less grains than usual and a few roots roots.
I have done a lot of guided ceremony since my 90-day started. I am doing a lot of work on my prana tube. My cat Leela told Rebecca that my prana tube has a disconnect at the heart and she was right! I guess she can stay. Kathryn found out I had a buried contract here. It turned out to be with my late husband. I have done a ceremony to acknowledge and express gratitude for his service, call an end to the contract and stated the intention that I choose to experience the full flow of prana energy now. Last night some angels told me I needed to nourish myself with a massage. Yes! I asked if it was with Linda Gill and I got yes. So today Linda helped me make a clear open connection and flow of prana.
OK, I posted. Now I hope to find all of you.
with love,
Liz
Confessions from an old wooden desk…
You know those words that are written just a tad too hard? The ones indented on the surface, overlapping, just enough to make them out one by one but trying to put them together to make any sense is close to impossible? If you look close enough, that is my surface. Scarred from the past with words I can’t quite make out; emotions I can’t quite pin-point; memories I can’t quite remember. But they are there, scratches on my surface waiting to fade away with age or use or just forgotten about.
This is a hard place to be…to feel these things but not quite know where they all came from or what to do with them. Do I buff them out and hope not to lose originality? Re-surface and hide what was there? Sell out and find a more resilient surface that can “take it”? On the other hand, are these words what makes me, me? Original, creative, caring, self-driven, spiritual, loving, healing, understanding…
It is interesting because most days I don’t even know they are there. I am happy and satisfied in many aspects of my life. Comparatively, I feel more sane and collected then the majority of the people I am surrounded by in this crazy, beautiful world. But there is this tinge of self-doubt seeking approval…a tinge of non-forgiveness dug in, right there on the surface.
So I begin this journey with intentions to move forward. Past the scars of the past that prick my skin, past the self-doubt that circles my mind, past the un-forgiveness that brings water to my eyes. Through and past it all to come out on the other end with a renewed respect for the surfaces that make up who I am and what I represent.
My Palace focus is Relationship…I choose to heal my relationship with myself and with the ones closest to me that may hold a pencil from long ago. But it is not a time to point fingers with blame but to let it go and let it fade…with acknowledgement and time I move forward over the peaks and valleys of my surface to a serene comfortable place where the past is the past and the future is beautiful and full of light.
love and gratitude
I am taking the time to pray over all of my meals, giving thanks to the creator(my word), nature spirits, ancestors, etc.. I admire the roots, vegetables, fruits, herbs, and give thanks for all of their nutritional, medicinal, and lifeforce energy. I consciously ask that I be open and receptive to the nutritional, medicinal, emotional and spiritual benefits of each meal. I give thanks and love to my physical body as it is the only one I will have in this lifetime. I give thanks to my higher self, wisdom of my body, and my spirit guides. I also ask that I be connected more fully to my higher self.
I am further reminded of the beauty and importance that there is in prayer, ritual and ceremony. Thank you Kathryn, Michael, and everyone else for bringing this back into my life...
I am also beginning to peel the onion in my journal work. As I connect with the unity cd, my higher self, wisdom of my body, and spirit guides I am slowly starting to uncover the underlying truths. I have a difficult time letting go of and holding on to old wounds, judgement, guilt, and grudges. I am working on gratitude for all living things. For too many years I took the path of least resistance, afraid to rock the boat, realize my potential, or even take responsibility for my actions.
It is my intention that this journey will slowly unravel and dissolve my old patterns, beliefs, and emotional scar tissue (that are weighing me down)as I begin to lighten up and fill myself with love and gratitude.
In love and gratitude,
Blessing Willow
An Amazing Four Days
I'm so grateful to be a part of this tremendous group. I'll keep my blog on the brief side, though a lot has happened for all of us these past four days. I must say in reading everyone's blog that I find parts of myself in most everyone's blog. Thank you very much to all of you for your sharing. As they say, the sum is greater than the sum of its parts. Don't think I said it quite right, but you know what I mean. This is going to be "BIG" for "ALL of US", for which I (we) am (are) most grateful!!!
Monday, I broke in my new juicer, opening a new world for myself. I love potatoes and the roots, so that is going well. It felt strange not to be taking my fist full of vitamin supplements, a habit of years. The next thought being, "wouldn't it be nice not to have to take all those supplements any longer???" What other habits of years do I need to reexamine?
Tuesday I joined K & M and Joni at 8:11 Hawaiian time, out on Kepuhi Beach, singing the Ancestor song (only one I know so far) to all that was around. Shortly thereafter while in my room, I ran back to the beach to see the humpback whales who appeared close to the shore. A mother humpback whale had given birth to her calf at this beach the previous week and they were back nursing. Was delightful watching mom roll on her side waving her long white flipper, as if to say hello. Later that day a ladybug appeared on my driver side car window as I was going to the post office to pick up Leslie's Earth weaving bundles, to be placed in sacred places around the Islands. I'm presently in Molokai, by myself, on my self healing journey.
Wednesday was our Intentions' day. Sunset is an important ceremonial time here in the Hawaiian Islands. Thus it was the time I chose to do my sacred intentions cedar fire ceremony. I
chose a secluded beach (not hard to find on this island), not far away. After welcoming everyone
and lighting the fire in the sand pit, surrounded by volcanic lava stones, reading and burning my intentions for our 90 day class, a gecko chirped, which it does when it hears truth. I was attending to my fire while I was once again singing the Ancestor song, tapping on the rocks with a tree stick, I glanced up from my fire to the sky and was totally amazed to see it filled with the Pleiadian cloud ships, the same as we observed at White Sage Landing last October. I gave great thanks for their attendance. The entire experience was deeply moving, to say the least, as is
our group experience of this class. My deepest thanks and appreciation to Kathryn and Michael and to all of you for what is to come from our tremendous group experience. Love and Blessings to All. With much Aloha, Annette/Golden Buffalo Heart

Metal, Wood, and Water
I would like to say just a few words about the elements that we are working with, beginning with metal and water. These elements are inherited through our DNA. They are 50% of our pattern, the part that is carried in the physical vehicle we inhabit at birth.
Those with a metal elemental archetype have an oval shape to the face. These people inherit the assignment of developing boundaries in the physical world. They may draw experiences early in life where their personal boundaries are violated, creating the opportunity to heal these issues later in life. They (we) also have the ability to organize, and to break things down into the steps or parts necessary to understand. They are often teachers or embody some aspect of passing on knowledge to others, especially later in life. They walk between the worlds of water element and wood element, in the way that metals can spend some of their time accomplishing in the physical world, but they must balance that time with time doing nothing, just being, or focused on spiritual practice. Their energy dynamic is both inward and outward, balancing the flow out into the world with an alternate flow into the self. Metals can extend themselves, but must always take time to go inward and regenerate. If they do not learn to take time for themselves, they may go through cycles of hard work, then burn-out.
Water element types are rarely seen in our culture. The reason for this is that the water archetype is focused on one thing; just being. These are people whose energy flow is inward and downward. They are not here to accomplish something in the physical world. They are here to live a spiritual life, or a life of self development. In our culture, we find water people living way out in the wilderness on a Native American tribal reservation, most often. We find water element archetypes in Nepal or Tibet, in a monastery, living as a monk or initiate. Waters hold the connection to spirit for the whole of humanity. They hold space for all.
Wood element people are exactly the opposite, as far as energy flow. Wood energy is upward and outward. They are here to accomplish things in the physical world, to create, build, etc. Woods can often go and go and go, without seeming to need any time to go inward. The very act of doing nourishes them and keeps them going. They often go to work at an early age, sometimes drawing experiences early in life that challenge self esteem, or somehow inhibit the creative impulse, in order to heal this issue later in life. They might have issues of flexibility as well, being too rigid or too flexible until they find the balance point.
Tomorrow I will talk about Fire and Earth archetypes.
On a personal note, I am amazed at how many references I am reading about flying or turning into light in the dreamtime. This seems to be an undercurrent for many of us at this time.
I would also like to encourage those who have not yet picked up the talking stick. I want to remind everyone that we can say (write) absolutely anything that is on our minds here in this sacred space. This is our opportunity to speak, to receive attention, to be heard. When we step through that barrier and gather our courage, the heart is activated in a whole new way. It creates the environment for miracles to happen!
Love to each of you!

Black Cats and Flying High*
Where do I start?? I suppose I will start with my continuous dream that I have been having for the last few months, haha, I wont go that far back but I will tell you about the one I had last night THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TO ME NOW. I don't often dream about people I don't know in this life time, these dreams all started off a few months ago when I dreamt about a Native elder named Eagle Woman, I don't know her in my current life time and didn't recognize her in my dream, it was only towards the end of my dream when a GIANT eagle flew over us than she revealed that she was Eagle Woman. She was here to teach us to fly. Not shape shift into birds, but to fly in our current physical form.
In every dream I get following that dream I get bits and pieces of more info, except last night I dreamt the same dream I dreamt last time. Do you follow? :)
To get to the point, this was the dream. Myself, Earth Song, and Lindsey888, Kachina333, Blue Thunder, Mist Walker and a bunch more people I had never met before (I know now that they are all of you) We were being led by Eagle Woman into this very sacred room. We were the "chosen ones" for this task.For some reason she never really spoke directly to us, always to our higher self's and she didn't speak English either, so it was kind of like, she was speaking... in some sort of higher dimensional language that had to be spoken to out higher self's for it to be translated for us to understand.
Anyhow, we had a ceremony and it was sooo amazing, I can STILL feel in my body how it felt in that room in my dream, strong vibration coming from our voices and bouncing off the walls back into our bodies,(very powerful and sacred words) it felt like extreme extacy It was amazing. Toward the end of our time in this room these beautiful crystals were brought out and placed on a wooden bench in frountof us, one by one a crystal picked it's person. We were guided to place our hands around there crystals in rount of out torso's, close our eyes and tune into the crystals. One by one we all began to lift off the ground and began to fly. Anytime one of us would get too high and begin to feel fear we would quickly be lowered to the ground and could not "fly" again until we transmuted that fear into complete TRUST and LOVE.... than once we were done we were guided to place the crystals back on the bench and exit the room. IT WAS SO AMAZING! As I am thinking about this dream again a I am feeling light and tingly all over my body. I thought I didn't know many of you but turns out that I know you better than most people that I "really know." This is such a very powerful and sacred group and we have such amazing energy together, I know we are all going to do great things...
Now for my encounter today! for those of you that don't know me personally, I am an extreme animal lover... to the extreme! I easily get caught up in the emotions of animals, wither it be sadness, neglect, death or anything of the sort, you name it and USUALLY it results in me sinking into a deeep empty depression. I am not a depressed person, really, I'm quite happy but if there is ONE THING that could do it, it's that. Any sort of negativity towards animals and I have the blues.
I have been working on this thanks to Kachina333 and her amazing teachings. ( THANK YOU!)
Long story short, I was driving to my sisters house today (Earth Song) cause we get together everyday to take out dogs on a walk and on the was I saw a black cat lying on the side of the road, obviously it had been hit by a car. In the past (even as of last week) I would have broke down on the spot crying hysterically, hyperventilating and having these sort of crazy out of body uncontrollable seizure like movements (crazy, I know) THIS TIME, I was completely calm!!!! (this is unheard of!) I pulled over, sat in my car and did a little ceremony for the cat's spirit (how Kachina333 had taught me) called on it's guides and people to come and help it to cross over, I got a BIG thank you, thank you, thank you! I was thrilled cause I really knew that I helped. I figured I did me job, so I started my car and began to drive only to find that this cat was in my car, sitting on my dash board and didn't seem to have any intention in leaving. Of course I didn't mind but naturally, I was curious as to why. This is the first time that I had had a ceremony and actually FELT like I did my job and helped the animal cross over so I was confused as to why she was hanging around. So I tuned in with her and asked " Is there anyting you would like to say, or ask?" and I just got another "THANK YOU"... so I said "you are very welcome"...... anyhow, she is STILL here with me?? I am going to go into my kiva right now to have a little ceremony for her and try to do come communicating to get to the bottom of this. Anyhow, it has been an amazing 4th day on this journey, I'm so happy to be sharing it with you all. :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Spirit Talker <3
p.s. I'm usually not this big of a talker, but I just had to share this!
Frequency
Last night I had a dream about all of us, even those of you who I haven't met. We were all together in a different frequency/dimension, and it was amazing! It was almost like NeverNever Land, but not quite, much more real. We had a pretty serious agenda of planetary work to do, and were working away diligently on it, but there was no stress, no negativity, only playfulness and LOVE! It felt wonderful to be in those emotions consistently, as though all lower vibrational emotions just didn't exist. Also, we were very light and we were almost floating above the ground.
This dream was so incredible that I got up at 4 am to write it down so I wouldn't forget it. Have a wonderful weekend everyone. -Earth Song
Myself as my witness
Kachina and Blew Thunder have a way of bringing me right back to White Sage through their entries. I was not expecting to feel so close to them, and it's a nice surprise.
Tonight I lit my sacred cedar in the medicine wheel at DiamondHeart and felt a deep connection with our group. It is an amazing experience to feel so connected with a group who is not here physically.
My boyfriend Roy is currently in California and will be joining us soon. He just went to the Crystal show in Tuscan, and I feel like he will be bringing home a crystal that would like to be a part of this group, I'm guessing to be placed in the medicine wheel here. I'll have to check in when he gets home, as I can no longer plan 2 days ahead of time anymore! I enjoy living this way. Honored to be here...Earth Song

A Magical Day
When we arrived, Lynn (our neighbor) was fixing a pony cart with his girlfriend Jackie. They completed the job, and then we talked about our intentions for the road, Lynn's intentions for putting in a fence to hold horses for a horse rescue project, etc.
We walked over to the land where the road will be located, which I had connected with several days before, and sang the badger song. We asked for the spirits of the land to guide all of us as we put the road in, in order for it to be done with ease and harmony with all life. While we were singing, Lynn had an amazing experience where all the pain in his body went sinking into the ground. He said it was gone completely, and he was amazed!
We dowsed and found a non-beneficial Curry line, about 40 feet wide, that could be transmuted by planting a geo-resonator and some gold into the earth. Then we found a dragon line-irregular shaped fault line that was leaking non-beneficial radiation energy. I was allowed to connect with the line, and it asked for the placement of a certain mineral I had at home, but I do not have permission to place it until the road is in place. I am not sure why, but will let you know if something else surfaces between now and then.
After working with the spirits of the land in this way, we spent the rest of the day cleaning up old wood piles and repairing fences. The coyotes serenaded us, and Lynn came over to our place with a trailer and took a bunch of scrap wood off our land. He is a very connected "rock hunter", and has many beautiful crystals living in his home. He showed us some really cool ones, then told us where we could find clay for making pots. He had made and fired several pots in the Anasazi way, with local clay. It was awesome.
Then, right before we left Lynn's house, he gave Blew Thunder a Badger Paw! This is one of the most amazing animal medicines I have ever felt. When you hold it, it feels really DENSE like it is made of lead. The energy it radiates is quite indescribable, but I will try. It feels smooth and relaxed and very grounded, and there is an unexpected refinement to the energy. I have never seen Michael happier-he was like a child receiving a Christmas present!
Wow. We came inside just as it was getting dark and both felt like we had been in another dimension all day. Life in this place is amazing. I am so grateful to be here on Mother Earth during this synchronistic time.
Okay, tomorrow I will talk about what I am transforming for the 90 days! Love and gratitude to all, Kachina
Knock , Knock, Anyone Home??
Last night, looking at what my intention was and what I would like to heal, I became aware of how unconscious I had become. In reflecting back on the last year and a half, excluding a feww weeks here and there, my main focus has been the building project here.
And also, except for Kathryn, the only conversation around for me is the rabbits and the lizards. I have become aware of how disconnected and driven I have become with this project. From time to time, a little short and snappy, and at times even inconsiderate of others, including the lizards and rabbits. The irony of the whole thing, is that we moved out into the wilderness and I STILL FOUND THE FUCKING SQUIRREL CAGE! (Sorry!)
And Kathryn has informed me that this is a very common wood element issue (my element). So that is one of the things I would like to heal: Being more in the moment, and being that playful person that I like to be.
One of the many benefits of doing this 90 day process is the opportunity it gives me to put attention on my intentions. Glad each one of you are on board!

L!FE
I have found that most of these "isn't that interesting" moments I don't yet feel quite strong enough to go head on with but it is no longer a question of AM I strong enough, I have no other choice than to BELIEVE and to KNOW that I AM...
It is so easy, while being on the path of living consciously to encourage all these stored emotions to come up so that they can be cleared, but as I keep catching myself doing is automatically trying to store more "I'll deal with those later"situations.
It's just so easy to say "I cant deal with this now, I JUST dealt with this other big thing, I need a moment to breathe, I'll deal with this later" but lately I have been feeling this sort of, push to DEAL WITH IT NOW! So I have been knocking down walls and jumping over hurdels left and right and thought I am feeling a little over whelmed and exhausted from these constant shifts, when I look back to what I have already conquered I cant help but feel a strong sensation of excitement and a feeling of strength and of a knowing that "everything will ALWAYS work out" you just have to trust.
It's so easy for me to get sucked into the "facts" and drama of the situation, so I'm really trying to remind myself of that right now. TRUST... everything is just as it's supposed to be. <3
Talking Circle
I want to remind each of you that this BLOG is now our sacred space. Every time you sit down to contribute to it, you are picking up the talking stick in a talking circle. The 13 other members are holding a space for you, without judgement or interruption, to speak what is in your heart. It is a space for the transformation of the medicine wheel journey to unfold.
I will be holding this space by periodically smudging with the crystal before BLOGging, and doing ceremony. I don't expect everyone to be able to smudge every time they write, but instead to simply take a moment to visualize picking up that sacred talking stick, and honoring it in some way.
I have already felt a shift with the foods I am eating. It never ceases to amaze me how much opportunity there is with this Core Food Fast to regenerate on a new level every time. Blew Thunder and I started today with root vegetables and lots of fresh juices and I am already feeling lighter.
Now, here in the East direction, this is the time to become ruthlessly honest with yourself about your life. What needs to change? What is your true desire? What is holding you back from fulfillment? What does heaven on earth look like to you?
These are the questions to have vibrating in your field. The answers will come naturally.
I thank you for sending the e-mails. Please know that I will try to address every question and issue through the BLOG, so there may not be a personal response to each one. Be persistent if there is something important to you, and it will be addressed.
Tomorrow we will be burning our cedar sticks and calling in the Ancestors again, setting our personal intentions for the 90 days. Today, my prayer was for each of us to create fulfillment, however that looks for us, and to experience the true value of the transformational experience that we are co-creating, for ourselves and the value it brings for others, and all life on earth.
The Journey Continues
Another theme for me in these next 90 days will be boundaries! As I'm beginning to look more and more to myself and less to others for the things I experience in my life, my boundary issues point right back to my own self. I have always been a young woman in business (started when I was 19) and because of that have noticed that I probably get (have allowed myself as I see it now) pushed around and perhaps taken advantage of a lot more than others might, something which has always bothered me tremendously! This pattern has also been predominant in my personal life, and in reflecting on it lately, I have always tried to hide from these situations or let others call the shots, which doesn't feel good. I guess I have felt like a victim of others and have always felt like I had no choice in the situations. I find it very challenging to stick up for myself a lot of the time, especially when dealing with friends, and I especially avoid confrontation.
I am determined to begin to view this differently, and this has come up very strongly for me all of a sudden, first the awareness that I am creating every bit of it and next, the strong desire to change this pattern. I dealt with 3 situations yesterday in which I spoke my truth and it felt so great to be in charge of my own power! My animal totem in the East is Wild Boar "confrontation" and I will be working intimately with him during this phase. I really hope to create permanent change in this area of my life....
I am excited to share the experience of this journey with you all. -Earth Song (my temporary name)
