BACKGROUND
It is said that we lost most of our genetic memory when the Earth’s magnetic field started to falter during the times of Lemuria and Atlantis. And so it has been a long and tedious journey of remembering our true origins and reclaiming our lost power.
Much has been written about crystal skulls. Supposedly buried in the Earth, it is said that they will help us to restore such genetic memory, now to be used wisely for our evolution through the heart. Many believe them to have been hidden in Southern America, waiting to be found at a time when we are ready to receive this ancient knowledge of our origins and when we are ready to assume the responsibility of being the true caretakers of our Earth.
For those of you who are privileged enough to be the guardian of a crystal skull - big or small - you will now the mystery and magic of these amazing crystals and also their general fascination that is so well deserved.
What do they signify? Some say death and that they were used as shamanic tools for transitions into other worlds. This may be so, but what are the keys that they now hold for our future?
I am a grateful caretaker of a blue obsidian skull that has travelled with me to many places in the world and what the skull has taught me so far- and I am sure there are infinitely more information to be shared in times to come, is that it is helping me to “revive” my genetic memory. And never has the skull been as powerful as since my last visit with it to the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan Mexico earlier this year. As if receiving a power boost, it has awakened so strongly, it is quite incredible. Maybe it also has something to do with the times we are living in- with the vibration of the Earth and our bodies re-igniting a flame that has not been accessible before…
Whatever it is, I am in awe of the power of evolution that is being awakened in South and Central America. Many keys lie here, waiting to be found and I am being asked to invite you to become part of the process- a living, breathing part of the Earth’s awakening! COME AND JOIN ME ON A TRIP TO MEXICO AND GUATEMALE.
THE TRIP
The trip to Mexico and Guatemale will focus on four main temples:
The pyramid complex of Teotihuacan- north of Mexico City and holding a strong Aztec heritage. Here you will see and experience the power of the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon.
The Palenque ruins and its nearby waterfalls of Misol Ha and Aguas Azul. Palenque is said to be central in the spiral of the feminine grid that is held in South America as counter part to a masculine grid that was anchored in Egypt. These Mayan ruins are incredibly beautiful and play a significant role in the maintenance of the feminine energy for our planet. Much visited by spiritual groups from all over the world, it is something worth seeing and experiencing…
The Mayan ruins of Tikal in Tikal National Park Guatemale is probably a place where I could live full time! Undisturbed by tourists, it is one of the hidden treasures of the world and has a purity of energy that is just like that of Machu Picchu in Peru. No wonder that the feminine grid that splits at Palenque goes through Tikal and then moves further down through Machu Picchu and then Easter Island. Its magnificence is beyond words. You will love it.
Uxmal Ruins in the Yucatan part of Mexico carries a peace that is tangible, even just thinking about it. It has a serenity and telepathic quality of peace that is hard to explain in ordinary language. The Pyramid of the Magician is an awesome feature of these ruins that holds many mysteries to uncover. Linked to the crystal skulls, it is also very much linked to our future.
TIMING
The dates of the trip in February has been guided as an auspicious time to go, both energetically and taking into account the climate, something that is always important to consider when travelling in that part of the world.
If you are interested in exploring ancient civilisations and the anchoring of Christ consciousness for our evolution, this is the time and the places for you to visit!

IN HONOUR OF INTERNATIONAL PEACE DAY 21 SEPTEMBER
It was raining.
I was surprised. It is only August- spring must be coming early this year! And I was thinking about my advice to the group before the trip not to bring raincoats along….
I always like it raining when I go to Machu Picchu- I am not quite sure why. Maybe because of the mystery- getting into the bus with no idea of where we are going. Feeling the bus winding its way up and up the mountain, but no view to see what is waiting. And hundreds of people doing the same even though we got up so early!
Blindly following an urge that is so strong and yet one cannot understand.
As if in another world…..
The mists were gathering around the mountains. We could not even see the main mountain Huyna Picchu. Then we stopped to greet Puticushi mountain. How this must have looked to the first explorers that came here so very high up in the mountains! How they must have been amazed when the sun started rising.
I could hear something in my ears- a kind of buzzing and then- emotion. Streams of tears were trickling down my cheeks- for no particular reason. Other than that I was once again here.
There was peace in my heart.
I HAD RETURNED.
(written 26 AUGUST 2010)
___________________________________________________________________________
Hi everyone!
WHAT IS PEACE?
“Peace is not something you wish for - it is something you make, something you do, something you are, something you give. Peace starts within and radiates into the world. The peace we create within ourselves creates the emergence of peace outside ourselves. Be the peace you wish to see in the world: extend more kindness, respect others, show more appreciation, offer your care, open your heart, be generous, have more compassion, this peace day and everyday. Let peace be our heritage. Om Shanti”
Some of you may have watched the beautiful peace video on U Tube for International Peace Day. What a wonderful concept to focus on at this time, bringing peace to our world, especially to the areas where there are so many wars and fighting and so many lives being broken and lost.
http://www.heartmath.org/templates/ihm/articles/landing/peace-day/2010/index.php
PEACE IN TIMES OF IMMENSE CHANGE
At this time it is hard to keep that focus on peace within one’s own personal life. There is so much happening that manages to pull us out of the zone of peace- our own judgements of people and situations that come from years - and even generations - of conditioning of fear. The challenging energies of people around us that we come into contact with from day to day. The volatility of the weather. All of what we are bombarded with on the media and other outside influences. Somehow they all seem to conspire in drawing us into the dramas of life that are far too stressful, negative and overwhelming! Will there ever be peace?!!
One just wants to crawl into a cave and hide from it all….needing some safe haven to stay centred, sane and peaceful in it all!
DESCENDING INTO THE EARTH WITH OUR BODIES
The only space that is giving me an anchor to lean on at the moment, is to take myself and my body deeper and deeper into the peacefulness of the Earth. Whether that is actually travelling to ancient places of peace such as Machu Picchu, or being in my garden at home, or visualising myself being somewhere in nature – I feel the need more and more to connect deeply with the Earth.
And stay there!
And with that I have been shown how the Ancient people also used this knowledge of the Earth’s power and especially their pyramids to stabilise and heal their energies during times of change. It is an old memory that we all have.
Pyramids were built on the surface of the Earth, but what was far more important, was what was happening with the Earth on the inside. Underneath the pyramids huge chambers were built where the Ancients would go or travel to- in their bodies to find their peace connection to the Earth and her soul.
If you think about it, it all makes sense. Our experience of the Earth is mostly superficial- we live on the surface, have a surface perception of everything about the Earth. And yet - when we are able to go deeper into the Earth, something important changes!
Our resonance automatically changes.
Science measures this as a change in temperature, humidity and other physical changes, but most importantly, there is a change in our own energy bodies and consciousness.
While most people talk about us ascending as a humanity, a voice in me says, no, we are busy descending! We are becoming more part of the Earth and although it may sound strange, we can then hold a much higher vibration within the density of our bodies.
Pay attention to different people’s ideas about their burial. Often there is a strong need to be buried in the Earth and maybe this is coming from an ancient wisdom of knowing that if we go deeper into the Earth we are getting closer to enlightenment!
This is an interesting concept for me who always wanted to be cremated. And it certainly makes sense when we look at the Tombs of Egypt and other cultures, where the pharaoh or king was given the privilege of entering the Earth and staying there for the afterlife. Somehow this was a key to moving through into a higher vibration – to enable one to go home to the Soul.
I truly believe that one of the keys for coping with all the changes that are happening energetically to our Earth as it becomes more and more part of the bigger picture, is for us humans to become more grounded and connected with the Earth (see also the Earth meditation given below as a suggestion of some ways to do this at the moment). As the vibration of the Earth is increasing and the electromagnetic field around the Earth and also our bodies weakens, the only way forward is for us to descend deeper into our bodies and the Earth!
Otherwise the higher frequencies and resonance of the changes will just be too uncomfortable for our bodies and it will become increasingly difficult for us to stay balanced and become more peaceful in our worlds.
It may be a frightening concept for some, but earth time is catching up with what is whizzing around us already at lightening speed!
YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EARTH
I would suggest it is time to pay attention to your relationship with the Earth- how much are you grounded and how much are you paying attention to your body at the moment? The better you feel physically and the more peaceful you are, the more you will realise that you have created a good and meaningful personal relationship with the Earth.
The opportunities are all ours to have, as we uncover a new, better and more peaceful world…
With blessings of Love Elizabeth

THE VINE MOON CYCLE
Also called the Blood Berry Moon with the equinox full moon having been on the 23rd September in the sign of Aries. You will have seen the wonderful site of the full moon rising with the very bright planet Jupiter on that night. Dark moon will be on the 7th October in the sign of Libra.
WHAT ARE THE PLANETS UP TO AT THE MOMENT?
Some of you will know about the combined influence that the planet Saturn (dealing with structures and authority) has had with the planet Uranus (dealing with sudden change and lightening speed). This ended at the beginning of September after a two year period with the influence of Saturn becoming less noticeable. If you look back over the last two years, you will notice how this has affected structures like our governments, the stock exchanges and financial worlds to bring about more responsibility- often through sudden and shocking change.
What is now starting to happen, is an influence of the planet Pluto –the ruler of deep healing and transformation by bringing things to the surface. Not a pleasant process, but Pluto teaches us to accept death, endings and transformation from one form into the other. But in this process the planet Jupiter- the planet bringing good luck, abundance and expansion is also growing stronger. Through being able to go deep into often unpleasant issues, we are able to transform them and bring an expansion of abundance and freedom. Well worth it, but it requires willingness – willingness to acknowledge and look at what is, and what needs to transform.
And it is time to stay focused- focused on what we want and what we can create. Nothing else is really important. It just takes us away from a path of moving forward and of having less fear.
Time to move away from our own negativity and allowing the negative emotions of ourselves to dominate our lives.
We have all the tools we need.
Message from Mother Mary
http://spiritspeaksblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/my-mary.jpg
There is a need for many of you to start to pay closer attention to what you are thinking each day. For many of the challenges that you are currently facing actually start within your thoughts.
When you think “Yes I can” then you create the energy of being able to do whatever you choose to do. You create a sort of positive energy vortex that supports you in whatever it is that you are doing. You open the door to support and assistance from the spirit realms as you set this positive intention into motion.
If you face a task thinking, “No I cannot”, then just the opposite happens. You set the energy of not being able to do what you are thinking about doing and no spiritual assistance comes to your aid because you have just set the intention that you cannot and will not do something.
Don’t be fooled by how you phrase your thoughts, “I can’t”, “I won’t”, “I am not capable” all set the same tone and intention of not bringing what you want into being.
We recognize that for many of you that what is behind these negative thoughts is actually fear. You use “I can’t, I won’t, I am not capable” as a cover for this fear – most often the fear of what might happen if you actually do what you are thinking about doing.
Your fears and your thoughts work together as a sort of protective mechanism for you. It is like you are attempting to save yourself the possibility of pain by not even trying. And I want to say that again, you are saving yourself the possibility of pain.
And what is a possibility? Another thought. It is the thought that because something happened in the past, it might just happen again in the future if you dare to take the risk and do that which you have fear of doing.
It all comes down to your thoughts. That is the block for most of you, just distorted thinking, something that you learned to do as a child to maintain a level of safety as a child.
The difference is that you are now adults, living in a different situation with so many more skills and resources than you had as a child. The risk of the same thing happening again that happened in the past is so remote that there is no reason to have any fear. It is highly unlikely that the same thing would ever happen again, and if it does, you are well equipped to deal with the situation – and – now you know you have abundant help from the spiritual realms.
So, we say, it is time to move forward into doing what you came here to do. You need not let distorted thinking stop you from pursuing any dream that you have. What you are passionate about IS your soul work that you are being called to do through the feeling of passion.
So, how to get over this block of distorted thinking. It’s really quite simple, change your thoughts. And while it may be a challenge for some to change your thoughts right away, you all CAN change what you speak about and what you write about.
You may be thinking, “I can’t do that” but you can get around this protective mechanism by saying out loud or writing down. I can do that – or better still – I am doing that. Just this simple shift changes everything.
At first is may feel scary or difficult and that is where we in spirit come in. When you have that feeling just add the word “Help” to your statement and help is on it’s way. You can change your statement to “I am doing that and I am getting help from my guides and angels.”
That is all it takes my friends. Just a simple shift in what you say to yourself. Try this when you feel afraid of doing something and see what happens. We are here to help and you all have the gifts and abilities to do so many amazing things to change your life and the planet. It’s time to get on with your work – No more excuses.
Blessings, Mary, your divine mother.
MATTERS OF CONCERN
INVICTA FOUNDATION FOR TROOPS IN UK
In line with the topic of Peace, here is an extract from an email I received from my dear friend Dawn in the UK:
“My best friend who I've known for 20 years now, her son was serving out in Afghan clearing IED's...(land mines) and he lost both his legs 9 weeks ago, so that was pretty tough going, he is only 20 bless him. But through it all he has stayed very positive and is making excellent progress, his just gone off to Headley court for rehab.....his parents and I have set up the Invicta foundation, which supports injured troops and the long- term aim is to build modified homes for them so they can stay with there families after discharge from Queen Elizabeth hospital before going to Headley court, as not many are wheel chair friendly.....to help raise funds I'm doing a sponsored tandem skydive...I think I have finally lost the plot.....lol.
This is the link to my skydive page https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/dawnmeadows13 which gives some info and where people can sponsor me, so if you know anyone that would be kind enough please pass it on.The website is now being build although we do have a face book page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/pages/The-Invicta-Foundation/151268441551883?ref=ts it has upcoming events, where to get t-shirts etc. We have to raise £5000 before we can register as a charity but its going well and we are getting there”
SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK:
TAKE ACTION HERE NOW:
http://forests.org/shared/alerts/sendsm.aspx?id=tanzania_serengeti
The government of Tanzania has approved a major commercial highway across Serengeti National Park. The northern Serengeti – located near the Kenya border – is the most remote and pristine area in the Park’s entire ecosystem. Serengeti National Park's locally and globally significant ecosystem is driven by migration of wildebeest, elephant and zebra; and will be utterly devastated by the plan, as will be local livelihoods and well-being. There is a growing local and international support network protesting the project, and together we should be able to ensure it never commences.
MEDITATION
Note: this may look deceptively simple, but as with all things in life, the more simple, the more powerful and also you are working with powerful intentions.
Meditation
Find a seat somewhere where you are able to be still and relax.
As you start to relax, close your eyes and imagine the running sound of water- it may be a stream that is gently flowing past where you are sitting, a waterfall you are next to - anything that reminds you and your body of water.
Now consciously start to relax your body:
And as you relax, you imagine that you are feeling a gentle pressure or energy in your third eye (between the eyebrows) and imagine that with your intention you are using it like a light to shine on all the different parts and organs of your body- just relaxing and letting go:
First start to relax and focus on your scalp and the top of your head. Relax.
Relax even your hair and your skull consciously.
Next relax your whole face, starting from the top of your forehead, down to the eyebrows, the eyelids, the inside of the eyes, the lashes.
Next the side of your face, your temples, the ears, the earlobes, your inner ears, your cheeks, your nose, the inside of the nose.
Imagine all of these parts of your body starting to getting heavier and heavier, more and more relaxed and warm.
Now take your attention to your lips, your mouth, the inside of your mouth, your tongue, your teeth, the back of the mouth. Next your chin, your jaw- just feel it all relaxing and softening.
You and your body are totally safe.
Now move gently further down - into the neck, the back of the skull where the atlas joins the skull, the vertebrae going down the neck at the back, your psychic gate at the top of the shoulders, your throat in the front. Just relaxing and letting go.
Next move down from the shoulders into the arms. The upper arms, releasing any tension in the arms, the elbows, moving down into the lower arms, the wrists, the hands, all the little bones and muscles in the hands, the fingers, the nails, the fingertips, the palms of the hands. Just relaxing and letting go.
Feeling this gentle relaxation moving further down through the body into the torso- relaxing the lungs, all the small blood vessels of the lungs, into the physical heart, the chambers of the heart, the pumps of the heart, the arteries, moving down to the diaphragm, the stomach, all the muscles, the lining of the stomach – just relaxing the body and letting go.
Moving with your thought through the lower abdomen- the small intestine, the large intestine, the internal organs- the kidneys, the liver, the spleen and pancreas- all of them and all the millions of cells in them relaxing, getting heavier and just letting go.
Moving down into the sexual organs, relaxing the bladder, the anus, the hips and all the muscles around them- feeling them all softening and just letting go.
Next take your focus to your upper legs, the back of the upper legs, the front of the upper legs, the knees, all the small muscles and bones in the knees, moving down to the lower legs, the calves, the ankles, the feet, the top of the feet, the toes, the toe nails, the soles of the feet.
Feel your whole body being completely relaxed and safe and warm.
Imagine that you are standing at a beautiful staircase and that there are 10 steps going down. You feel very comfortable, there is a railing along the side and you start climbing down.
Taking the first step- one. Going deeper and deeper into yourself and your body.
Taking the next step- two. Going down
Taking the next step- three. Feeling heavier and heavier each time you are stepping down.
Taking the fourth step- four. Moving deeper and deeper into yourself- totally relaxed and safe in your body.
Taking the next step- five. You are now deeper in your body than ever before.
Next step- six! Deeper and deeper still.
Stepping down the next step – seven. Each time you are stepping down, you are getting closer and closer to a beautiful chamber.
Taking the next step- Eight. Deeper and deeper.
Nine. Taking the next step down, feeling very relaxed and open.
Ten.
You are now deep down in a chamber and as you look around you, you see that it is covered in beautiful gold. And there is a golden bright light that is shining in this chamber.
You feel very safe and protected and as you imagine yourself standing there, you become aware of the presence of an Earth Guide.
This guide loves you totally and unconditionally and has come to help you.
Feel the energy of this guide and how it soothes you. You feel incredibly peaceful and happy in their presence.
Imagine sitting down and staying there in the chamber for a while- and as you are just sitting there, you become more and more aware of how your resonance and energy is changing. You feel very star connected but still very aware of being in your body.
It is as if you are very deep inside the Earth.
Now slowly start to call yourself back again. Thank your guide for being with you and helping you to change your energy to a higher resonance and peace.
Then imagine that you start to climb up the staircase again- VERY SLOWLY.
And as you are coming up, your body is still feeling very comfortable and safe- you are becoming more and more aware of present time, feeling refreshed and revitalised and alive to everything around you:
TEN – NINE – EIGHT – SEVEN – SIX – FIVE – FOUR – THREE – TWO – AND ONE…
Now slowly start to open your eyes when you feel you are ready.
Drink some water and pay attention to how your body is feeling, try to stay calm, open and relaxed.

I always like it raining when I go to Machu Picchu- I am not quite sure why. Maybe because of the mystery- getting into the bus with no idea of where we are going. Feeling the bus winding its way up and up the mountain, but no view to see what is waiting. And hundreds of people doing the same even though we got up so early!
Blindly following an urge that is so strong and yet one cannot understand.
As if in another world…..
The mists were gathering around the mountains. We could not even see the main mountain Huyna Picchu. Then we stopped to greet Puticushi mountain. How this must have looked to the first explorers that came here so very high up in the mountains! How they must have been amazed when the sun started rising.
I could hear something in my ears- a kind of buzzing and then- emotion. Streams of tears were trickling down my cheeks- for no particular reason. Other than that I was once again here.
There was peace in my heart.
I HAD RETURNED.

Hi everyone!
WHAT IS PEACE?
“Peace is not something you wish for - it is something you make, something you do, something you are, something you give. Peace starts within and radiates into the world. The peace we create within ourselves creates the emergence of peace outside ourselves. Be the peace you wish to see in the world: extend more kindness, respect others, show more appreciation, offer your care, open your heart, be generous, have more compassion, this peace day and everyday. Let peace be our heritage. Om Shanti”
Some of you may have watched the beautiful peace video on U Tube for International Peace Day. What a wonderful concept to focus on at this time, bringing peace to our world, especially to the areas where there are so many wars and fighting and so many lives being broken and lost.
http://www.heartmath.org/templates/ihm/articles/landing/peace-day/2010/index.php
PEACE IN TIMES OF IMMENSE CHANGE
At this time it is hard to keep that focus on peace within one’s own personal life. There is so much happening that manages to pull us out of the zone of peace- our own judgements of people and situations that come from years - and even generations - of conditioning of fear. The challenging energies of people around us that we come into contact with from day to day. The volatility of the weather. All of what we are bombarded with on the media and other outside influences. Somehow they all seem to conspire in drawing us into the dramas of life that are far too stressful, negative and overwhelming! Will there ever be peace?!!
One just wants to crawl into a cave and hide from it all….needing some safe haven to stay centred, sane and peaceful in it all!
DESCENDING INTO THE EARTH WITH OUR BODIES
The only space that is giving me an anchor to lean on at the moment, is to take myself and my body deeper and deeper into the peacefulness of the Earth. Whether that is actually travelling to ancient places of peace such as Machu Picchu, or being in my garden at home, or visualising myself being somewhere in nature – I feel the need more and more to connect deeply with the Earth.
And stay there!
And with that I have been shown how the Ancient people also used this knowledge of the Earth’s power and especially their pyramids to stabilise and heal their energies during times of change. It is an old memory that we all have.
Pyramids were built on the surface of the Earth, but what was far more important, was what was happening with the Earth on the inside. Underneath the pyramids huge chambers were built where the Ancients would go or travel to- in their bodies to find their peace connection to the Earth and her soul.
If you think about it, it all makes sense. Our experience of the Earth is mostly superficial- we live on the surface, have a surface perception of everything about the Earth. And yet - when we are able to go deeper into the Earth, something important changes!
Our resonance automatically changes.
Science measures this as a change in temperature, humidity and other physical changes, but most importantly, there is a change in our own energy bodies and consciousness.
While most people talk about us ascending as a humanity, a voice in me says, no, we are busy descending! We are becoming more part of the Earth and although it may sound strange, we can then hold a much higher vibration within the density of our bodies.
Pay attention to different people’s ideas about their burial. Often there is a strong need to be buried in the Earth and maybe this is coming from an ancient wisdom of knowing that if we go deeper into the Earth we are getting closer to enlightenment!
This is an interesting concept for me who always wanted to be cremated. And it certainly makes sense when we look at the Tombs of Egypt and other cultures, where the pharaoh or king was given the privilege of entering the Earth and staying there for the afterlife. Somehow this was a key to moving through into a higher vibration – to enable one to go home to the Soul.
I truly believe that one of the keys for coping with all the changes that are happening energetically to our Earth as it becomes more and more part of the bigger picture, is for us humans to become more grounded and connected with the Earth (see also the Earth meditation given below as a suggestion of some ways to do this at the moment). As the vibration of the Earth is increasing and the electromagnetic field around the Earth and also our bodies weakens, the only way forward is for us to descend deeper into our bodies and the Earth!
Otherwise the higher frequencies and resonance of the changes will just be too uncomfortable for our bodies and it will become increasingly difficult for us to stay balanced and become more peaceful in our worlds.
It may be a frightening concept for some, but earth time is catching up with what is whizzing around us already at lightening speed!
YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EARTH
I would suggest it is time to pay attention to your relationship with the Earth- how much are you grounded and how much are you paying attention to your body at the moment? The better you feel physically and the more peaceful you are, the more you will realise that you have created a good and meaningful personal relationship with the Earth.
The opportunities are all ours to have, as we uncover a new, better and more peaceful world…

THE VINE MOON CYCLE
Also called the Blood Berry Moon with the equinox full moon having been on the 23rd September in the sign of Aries. You will have seen the wonderful site of the full moon rising with the very bright planet Jupiter on that night. Dark moon will be on the 7th October in the sign of Libra.
WHAT ARE THE PLANETS UP TO AT THE MOMENT?
Some of you will know about the combined influence that the planet Saturn (dealing with structures and authority) has had with the planet Uranus (dealing with sudden change and lightening speed). This ended at the beginning of September after a two year period with the influence of Saturn becoming less noticeable. If you look back over the last two years, you will notice how this has affected structures like our governments, the stock exchanges and financial worlds to bring about more responsibility- often through sudden and shocking change.
What is now starting to happen, is an influence of the planet Pluto –the ruler of deep healing and transformation by bringing things to the surface. Not a pleasant process, but Pluto teaches us to accept death, endings and transformation from one form into the other. But in this process the planet Jupiter- the planet bringing good luck, abundance and expansion is also growing stronger. Through being able to go deep into often unpleasant issues, we are able to transform them and bring an expansion of abundance and freedom. Well worth it, but it requires willingness – willingness to acknowledge and look at what is, and what needs to transform.
And it is time to stay focused- focused on what we want and what we can create. Nothing else is really important. It just takes us away from a path of moving forward and of having less fear.
Time to move away from our own negativity and allowing the negative emotions of ourselves to dominate our lives.
We have all the tools we need.
Message from Mother Mary
http://spiritspeaksblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/my-mary.jpg
There is a need for many of you to start to pay closer attention to what you are thinking each day. For many of the challenges that you are currently facing actually start within your thoughts.
When you think “Yes I can” then you create the energy of being able to do whatever you choose to do. You create a sort of positive energy vortex that supports you in whatever it is that you are doing. You open the door to support and assistance from the spirit realms as you set this positive intention into motion.
If you face a task thinking, “No I cannot”, then just the opposite happens. You set the energy of not being able to do what you are thinking about doing and no spiritual assistance comes to your aid because you have just set the intention that you cannot and will not do something.
Don’t be fooled by how you phrase your thoughts, “I can’t”, “I won’t”, “I am not capable” all set the same tone and intention of not bringing what you want into being.
We recognize that for many of you that what is behind these negative thoughts is actually fear. You use “I can’t, I won’t, I am not capable” as a cover for this fear – most often the fear of what might happen if you actually do what you are thinking about doing.
Your fears and your thoughts work together as a sort of protective mechanism for you. It is like you are attempting to save yourself the possibility of pain by not even trying. And I want to say that again, you are saving yourself the possibility of pain.
And what is a possibility? Another thought. It is the thought that because something happened in the past, it might just happen again in the future if you dare to take the risk and do that which you have fear of doing.
It all comes down to your thoughts. That is the block for most of you, just distorted thinking, something that you learned to do as a child to maintain a level of safety as a child.
The difference is that you are now adults, living in a different situation with so many more skills and resources than you had as a child. The risk of the same thing happening again that happened in the past is so remote that there is no reason to have any fear. It is highly unlikely that the same thing would ever happen again, and if it does, you are well equipped to deal with the situation – and – now you know you have abundant help from the spiritual realms.
So, we say, it is time to move forward into doing what you came here to do. You need not let distorted thinking stop you from pursuing any dream that you have. What you are passionate about IS your soul work that you are being called to do through the feeling of passion.
So, how to get over this block of distorted thinking. It’s really quite simple, change your thoughts. And while it may be a challenge for some to change your thoughts right away, you all CAN change what you speak about and what you write about.
You may be thinking, “I can’t do that” but you can get around this protective mechanism by saying out loud or writing down. I can do that – or better still – I am doing that. Just this simple shift changes everything.
At first is may feel scary or difficult and that is where we in spirit come in. When you have that feeling just add the word “Help” to your statement and help is on it’s way. You can change your statement to “I am doing that and I am getting help from my guides and angels.”
That is all it takes my friends. Just a simple shift in what you say to yourself. Try this when you feel afraid of doing something and see what happens. We are here to help and you all have the gifts and abilities to do so many amazing things to change your life and the planet. It’s time to get on with your work – No more excuses.
Blessings, Mary, your divine mother.
MATTERS OF CONCERN
INVICTA FOUNDATION FOR TROOPS IN UK
In line with the topic of Peace, here is an extract from an email I received from my dear friend Dawn in the UK:
“My best friend who I've known for 20 years now, her son was serving out in Afghan clearing IED's...(land mines) and he lost both his legs 9 weeks ago, so that was pretty tough going, he is only 20 bless him. But through it all he has stayed very positive and is making excellent progress, his just gone off to Headley court for rehab.....his parents and I have set up the Invicta foundation, which supports injured troops and the long- term aim is to build modified homes for them so they can stay with there families after discharge from Queen Elizabeth hospital before going to Headley court, as not many are wheel chair friendly.....to help raise funds I'm doing a sponsored tandem skydive...I think I have finally lost the plot.....lol.
This is the link to my skydive page https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/dawnmeadows13 which gives some info and where people can sponsor me, so if you know anyone that would be kind enough please pass it on.The website is now being build although we do have a face book page http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/pages/The-Invicta-Foundation/151268441551883?ref=ts it has upcoming events, where to get t-shirts etc. We have to raise £5000 before we can register as a charity but its going well and we are getting there”
SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK:
TAKE ACTION HERE NOW:
http://forests.org/shared/alerts/sendsm.aspx?id=tanzania_serengeti
The government of Tanzania has approved a major commercial highway across Serengeti National Park. The northern Serengeti – located near the Kenya border – is the most remote and pristine area in the Park’s entire ecosystem. Serengeti National Park's locally and globally significant ecosystem is driven by migration of wildebeest, elephant and zebra; and will be utterly devastated by the plan, as will be local livelihoods and well-being. There is a growing local and international support network protesting the project, and together we should be able to ensure it never commences.
MEDITATION
Note: this may look deceptively simple, but as with all things in life, the more simple, the more powerful and also you are working with powerful intentions.
Meditation
Find a seat somewhere where you are able to be still and relax.
As you start to relax, close your eyes and imagine the running sound of water- it may be a stream that is gently flowing past where you are sitting, a waterfall you are next to - anything that reminds you and your body of water.
Now consciously start to relax your body:
And as you relax, you imagine that you are feeling a gentle pressure or energy in your third eye (between the eyebrows) and imagine that with your intention you are using it like a light to shine on all the different parts and organs of your body- just relaxing and letting go:
First start to relax and focus on your scalp and the top of your head. Relax.
Relax even your hair and your skull consciously.
Next relax your whole face, starting from the top of your forehead, down to the eyebrows, the eyelids, the inside of the eyes, the lashes.
Next the side of your face, your temples, the ears, the earlobes, your inner ears, your cheeks, your nose, the inside of the nose.
Imagine all of these parts of your body starting to getting heavier and heavier, more and more relaxed and warm.
Now take your attention to your lips, your mouth, the inside of your mouth, your tongue, your teeth, the back of the mouth. Next your chin, your jaw- just feel it all relaxing and softening.
You and your body are totally safe.
Now move gently further down - into the neck, the back of the skull where the atlas joins the skull, the vertebrae going down the neck at the back, your psychic gate at the top of the shoulders, your throat in the front. Just relaxing and letting go.
Next move down from the shoulders into the arms. The upper arms, releasing any tension in the arms, the elbows, moving down into the lower arms, the wrists, the hands, all the little bones and muscles in the hands, the fingers, the nails, the fingertips, the palms of the hands. Just relaxing and letting go.
Feeling this gentle relaxation moving further down through the body into the torso- relaxing the lungs, all the small blood vessels of the lungs, into the physical heart, the chambers of the heart, the pumps of the heart, the arteries, moving down to the diaphragm, the stomach, all the muscles, the lining of the stomach – just relaxing the body and letting go.
Moving with your thought through the lower abdomen- the small intestine, the large intestine, the internal organs- the kidneys, the liver, the spleen and pancreas- all of them and all the millions of cells in them relaxing, getting heavier and just letting go.
Moving down into the sexual organs, relaxing the bladder, the anus, the hips and all the muscles around them- feeling them all softening and just letting go.
Next take your focus to your upper legs, the back of the upper legs, the front of the upper legs, the knees, all the small muscles and bones in the knees, moving down to the lower legs, the calves, the ankles, the feet, the top of the feet, the toes, the toe nails, the soles of the feet.
Feel your whole body being completely relaxed and safe and warm.
Imagine that you are standing at a beautiful staircase and that there are 10 steps going down. You feel very comfortable, there is a railing along the side and you start climbing down.
Taking the first step- one. Going deeper and deeper into yourself and your body.
Taking the next step- two. Going down
Taking the next step- three. Feeling heavier and heavier each time you are stepping down.
Taking the fourth step- four. Moving deeper and deeper into yourself- totally relaxed and safe in your body.
Taking the next step- five. You are now deeper in your body than ever before.
Next step- six! Deeper and deeper still.
Stepping down the next step – seven. Each time you are stepping down, you are getting closer and closer to a beautiful chamber.
Taking the next step- Eight. Deeper and deeper.
Nine. Taking the next step down, feeling very relaxed and open.
Ten.
You are now deep down in a chamber and as you look around you, you see that it is covered in beautiful gold. And there is a golden bright light that is shining in this chamber.
You feel very safe and protected and as you imagine yourself standing there, you become aware of the presence of an Earth Guide.
This guide loves you totally and unconditionally and has come to help you.
Feel the energy of this guide and how it soothes you. You feel incredibly peaceful and happy in their presence.
Imagine sitting down and staying there in the chamber for a while- and as you are just sitting there, you become more and more aware of how your resonance and energy is changing. You feel very star connected but still very aware of being in your body.
It is as if you are very deep inside the Earth.
Now slowly start to call yourself back again. Thank your guide for being with you and helping you to change your energy to a higher resonance and peace.
Then imagine that you start to climb up the staircase again- VERY SLOWLY.
And as you are coming up, your body is still feeling very comfortable and safe- you are becoming more and more aware of present time, feeling refreshed and revitalised and alive to everything around you:
TEN – NINE – EIGHT – SEVEN – SIX – FIVE – FOUR – THREE – TWO – AND ONE…
Now slowly start to open your eyes when you feel you are ready.
Drink some water and pay attention to how your body is feeling, try to stay calm, open and relaxed.

It speaks about our interconnectedness. We cannot be human all byourselves, and when we have this quality of Ubuntu,
we are known for ourgenerosity.When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.
Hi everyone!
DISSOLVING INTO ONENESS
I am sure that many of you have been feeling the speeding up of the Earth’s energy since the solar eclipse that happened on 11th July and for those of you who have been wondering what the buzzing is in your bodies, or that things just seem much more chaotic than ever before, it is the energy effect of this eclipse that is now starting to translate into our bodies and the physical plane.
In ancient times, eclipses were rightly “feared” because it brought mighty kings and empires to the fall and everything, but everything changed dramatically over a period of time thereafter.
During the last eclipse, bands of old consciousness were removed from the Earth’s centre and we are now able to move more freely from one dimension to the other-
The ability to merge and feel unity with everything and everyone!
And with that there is more and more evidence of our world shifting.
Those of you who have been following the Gulf of Mexico crises will have seen the upheavals caused - not only environmentally, but also politically and economically, with BP reeling from the impact in a way that was almost unthinkable before. And how wonderful to witness the united feeling of so many to do something about it together!
Everything is shifting - beyond what has happened before and there is a tremendous drive for personal freedom. It is as if everything is expanding, and if you have the ability to clairvoyantly see the Earth’s energy field, you will notice a magnificent expansion of her light body beyond what is comprehensible to our normal thinking minds. Yet at the same time there is a feeling of stability and progress, of things being much more stable and easy than before.
With the opening and expansion of the Earth energy field there has also been an expansion of our hearts- the two have to go hand in hand and so you may also been feeling a vulnerability that at times may be uncomfortable and emotional but is so absolutely necessary for us to merge and grow into a very real experience of our oneness with everyone and everything around us.
Only if we are able to blur our boundaries of who we think we are, are we able to connect and feel the oneness of the Heart. And so it is only through this energetic opening of our Hearts that we CAN feel our total interconnectedness to everything.
We are truly being drawn together as our consciousness expands at exactly the same time. A type of push and pull effect that helps us to become more enlightened and open.
ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS OF THE PAST
And as we race forward towards a more enlightened and enlightening world, we are also being drawn closer to the ancient civilisations that had always lived like this before.
It makes sense- they have done it - we are now doing it now - too.
We are shape shifting ourselves and our worlds into new realities that match the high frequencies of the past. We are at a point where it is possible to do the “impossible”.
SHAPE SHIFTING INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE
The South American shamans are known for their extraordinary abilities. Not all shamans are shape shifters, but those who are, have mastered the art of living consciously in Oneness. They KNOW that ultimately everything that we see as separate from us, is really a reflection or part of us and so - the bat that flies in the jungle is also the human walking there, the stone that lies in the river is also the girl that looks at her reflection in the water.
What keeps us from consciously becoming that bat, or that stone is simply our belief that we are separate and also the fear that we have of becoming lost when we shape shift and “lose” our old identity.
It comes from us judging one thing or experience to be better (or worse) than another and so we alienate ourselves from having the richness of many different ways of being.
The story is often told of a Chinese wrestler who could not perform in public. Taught by his master to “dream” himself into becoming the rolling waves of the sea, he became invincible and many opponents described themselves as having the sensation of “drowning” in defeat. And the seeming impossible act of cutting with a karate chop through a block is just another example of the art of shape shifting and understanding that all is One.
Someone was telling me recently how it is known that many souls are still caught inside the Great Wall of China. This happened when Initiates suddenly realised that they were able to shape shift and literally become part of the wall! And instead of moving through the wall, the shock froze them with fear – and so they became stuck in the Wall.
Yet at this time of our evolution it is precisely what we are being asked to do:
To shape shift!
No, not so much on a physical level although surely that is possible and can happen, but more on a level of changing our identity. Moving from one kind of career to another that is more honouring of the Earth, moving from one country to another to be of assistance there, transforming one way of being that we are used to into another – shape shifting our thoughts from one way of thinking to another.
We are all shape shifters in some way or another, we just don’t see it that way and what I find the most useful about looking at my life as many shape shifts that I made, is that it gives me a sense of there being a purpose to it all, instead of viewing those experiences just as failures.
Why are we in the Western World so obsessed and afraid of failure?
It is just a shape shift that we went through and that we can learn from! It is no better or worse, just different! Judging the experience and ourselves as a failure, stops us from being in acceptance and staying in the flow.
And – in any event, ultimately there is one shape shift that we ALL HAVE TO LEARN TO DO - DEATH!
The Ancient Egyptians were masters of studying the art of shape shifting and particularly of the shape shift of moving into a different form of reality called the after life. Look at all the mummies and royal tombs - and even their huge and magnificent sculptures could be said to be part of some form of shape shifting- as if the spirit of the person shape shifted into a physical sculpture and literally became it.
Some of you may notice “faces” in the mountains or environment- another form of shape shifting. It holds the energy of something that has changed itself into another form.
Because shape shifting is really the ability we have to consciously move energy from one form into another.
The Mayans knew this- they simply shape shifted into a new reality and left no trace behind!
SHAPE SHIFTING OUR WORLD
Having just gone through the magnificent experience of SouthAfrica hosting the World Cup, it occurred to me that South Africans achieved an amazing shape shift of identity- to change their old identity of being separate from the world into a new one where they are embraced and worthy of it. Wow!
Do you have issues in your personal life, work environment, global perspective that you just cannot solve?
Look no further, we have been given the answers! You need to shape shift and become that block, that issue, that system that oppresses you and limits your freedom - move your focus into it without judgement and embrace the experience- feel it, be it - and then you are ready: to consciously and with intention move a new awareness into it - to shape shift what is there, into something quite new.
There is nothing that you cannot do. It is all to do with energy.
With Love Elizabeth

THE MOON CYCLE OF JULY & AUGUST
We have just had the full moon in Aquarius on the 25th July (Sunday) and the moon will now be waning and losing light until the 8th August (the dark moon).
This cycle of the Moon that started on the 12th July is called the Holly Moon, the Claim Song Moon and Lightning Moon in the Celtic tradition.
The last full moon is called in the pagan tradition “Lunasa” Full Moon which is traditionally the start of the harvest, a season of ripening, transformation and peace. In the Northern Hemisphere it is the height of summer when the Earth is most alive –so you over there wallow in the warmth of the sun and the greenness of the Earth!
Lunasa is also known as the feast of the Celtic god Lugh- the king who distributes riches and creates equality: a coming together of people from far and wide. At Silbury Hill in the UK, a mound of the Earth that is 4500 years old, people would gather round to symbolically watch the mound – seen as the pregnant earth goddess- give birth to the start of the harvest.
The 22nd of July is called Saint Mary Magdalene’s Day in the Christian tradition.
On the 6th of August it is once again the anniversary of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. Meditate on peace for the world.
The Maya calendar dates that fall from 23rd July – 26th August are said to be especially powerful, especially the period 17-26th August. During this time:
“The volatile energies will be lessened when we use our light and energy for service and raising the collective consciousness regarding the unity and oneness of all life.- Alunajoy”
WHAT ARE THE PLANETS UP TO AT THE MOMENT?
Three planets have been dancing in the sky: Venus, Mars and Saturn in the western evening sky. You can watch their dance each evening, as the triangle they make gradually changes shape.
On 31st July Mars passes south of Saturn and on 6th August the planet Mercury is furthest out from the sun in the evening sky, best seen by us in the southern hemisphere.
On the 8th August, Venus passes south of Saturn, with Mars nearby. As the three planets set, Jupiter rises over in the east and dominates the sky for the rest of the night. The Moon is nearby on 30th July.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Mexico Gulf:
Thanks to everyone who forwarded to me the meditation from Dr Emoto to do with water- and for those who have not received it, here is some information that came from Linda Tucker of the White Lions (thanks to Tatiana who forwarded this to me!)
So much still has to be done and what the Gulf crises has also focused our attention on, is the general neglect and pollution of our seas and waters nearby- right where we live….
Place a glass of the purest water available to you over the representation of Mother Earth, and put a droplet of your saliva on your finger then into this water, while holding your intention of loving protection for Mother Earth, her precious creatures, and all-important water systems.
(For those not aware that water is telepathic, kindly familiarize yourself with the water experiments of Dr Masaru Emoto et al)
Change the water in the glass daily, but hold your intention and prayer constant.
The message from the White Lion, the White Buffalo and the other ‘prophetic animals’ of our time is one and the same:
Humankind must unite spiritually at a time of ecological and psychological crisis on Earth to bring about a positive solution.
Thank you for uniting in loving protection of our Great Mother…
In love and unity,
Linda Tucker

You can email her at tracy@manifestingutopia.com to have her put you on her email circulation list. And here are some interesting extracts from her latest magazine:
Underground caves discovered beneath the Pyramids ~
What is going on beneath the Giza plateau in Egypt? News has been coming out of underground cave systems that have been uncovered. There have also been rumours and stories about the secret archaeological excavations taking place in the vicinity of the Sphinx. Objects are rumoured to have been taken out and a lot of speculation is going around on the web about this. So what is the truth? What is the story on this? We are going to begin to talk about the discovery of Giza's cave system, Egypt's "duat", the real underworld that exists underneath the pyramids. Andrew Collins is with us, the man who in modern times has re-discovered these.

St John’s Wort
A perennial herb that grows one-three feet tall in uncultivated areas. Flowers appear midsummer. This wonderful herb is best known for calming anxiety and banishing depression. It truly chases away negative spirits, thoughts and feelings. It is said you must pick St John’s Wort with your left hand after asking the plant for permission. It is most powerful if picked on a summer evening. For protection and to attract abundance, plant a St John’s Wort bush near your front door. If you are looking to deepen your spiritual connection, soak the dried leaves in olive oil and then put the mixture in a bottle. Place the bottle outside where the moonlight can shine on it. Leave it there for a month. You can then use the oil to anoint yourself and others. Apart from emotional respite this herb is marvellous for the skin… so use the oil liberally on your skin. It is also used to treat bladder problems. Given as a tea before bedtime, it will help children who are struggling with wetting the bed at night. It will also help relieve chronic lung congestion and clear up urinary tract infections.
Plant wisdom: Deepens connection to your instinctual nature. Repels negativity.

SHAPE SHIFTING MEDITATION
For energetic help during this meditation, bring in the loving assistance of the following two amazing crystals by simply focusing on them and their qualities. Imagine them being with you during the meditation to assist - and always remember to thank them for being willing to be of service to your spiritual growth.
Watermelon tourmaline- the super activator of the Heart, it links you to your higher self. It instils patience and teaches diplomacy, alleviating depression and fear to promote inner security. It assists an understanding of situations and for you to express your intentions clearly. It treats dysfunction and releases old pain.
Kunzite – it dissolves negativity, automatically raising vibrations in its environment. It is often used to dispel possession of outside and inside influences, providing protection on the outer area of the aura. It also acts as a shield from unwanted energies.
Meditation:
You can do this either physically with actions, or you can visualise the process- whatever you prefer:
Start by kneeling, with your body pulled into a ball, forehead against knees, arms beside the legs, fingers in fists. Feel your energy being totally contracted, just like a seed that is waiting to burst open.
Visualise and feel an energy that is connected to your heart and surrounds you like a ball. At the same time feel a light that is gently pulsating and awakening in your third eye area (between and slightly above your two eyes) as this light helps you to become more and more focused.
Now consciously start to feel your identity dissolving and of you moving yourself into the energy of a seed that is planted deep within the Earth.
Feel your enormous desire - as the seed to burst open and reach for the Sun. Remember that seeds are able to penetrate through concrete.
Build this energy with focused concentration. Look deep within yourself and feel!
Become the seed that is about to open.
Slowly allow your fingers to open- one by one – and your head to rise. Feel the plant starting to become alive, sprouting from the seed that has been buried deep inside the Earth’s darkness. As the emerging plant, let yourself move as you want, eventually standing and reaching out your arms.
All the while continuing to feel the spirit of the plant.
With your eyes still closed, see what is around you- listen, gain the wisdom of this world that you have shape shifted into.
Stay in this space for as long as you need.
When you are ready, feel yourself returning and slowly open your eyes. Lie down for a few minutes and rest. Allow your body to absorb everything that has happened.
Write down any images that may come to you during this meditation exercise to keep as a record. You may wish to repeat this meditation a few times and see how it changes.
Happy shape shifting!

IN MY SOUL
In
my soul
there is a temple, a shrine,
a mosque, a church
where I kneel.
Prayer should bring us to an altar
where no walls or names exist.

The traditional African philosophy of Ubuntu that essentially says,
"No person is an island."
The essence of being human is that we cannot exist in isolation.
It speaks about our interconnectedness. We cannot be human all byourselves, and when we have this quality of Ubuntu,
we are known for ourgenerosity.When you do well, it spreads out; it is for the whole of humanity.
Hi everyone!
DISSOLVING INTO ONENESS
I am sure that many of you have been feeling the speeding up of the Earth’s energy since the solar eclipse that happened on 11th July and for those of you who have been wondering what the buzzing is in your bodies, or that things just seem much more chaotic than ever before, it is the energy effect of this eclipse that is now starting to translate into our bodies and the physical plane.
In ancient times, eclipses were rightly “feared” because it brought mighty kings and empires to the fall and everything, but everything changed dramatically over a period of time thereafter.
During the last eclipse, bands of old consciousness were removed from the Earth’s centre and we are now able to move more freely from one dimension to the other-
The ability to merge and feel unity with everything and everyone!
And with that there is more and more evidence of our world shifting.
Those of you who have been following the Gulf of Mexico crises will have seen the upheavals caused - not only environmentally, but also politically and economically, with BP reeling from the impact in a way that was almost unthinkable before. And how wonderful to witness the united feeling of so many to do something about it together!
Everything is shifting - beyond what has happened before and there is a tremendous drive for personal freedom. It is as if everything is expanding, and if you have the ability to clairvoyantly see the Earth’s energy field, you will notice a magnificent expansion of her light body beyond what is comprehensible to our normal thinking minds. Yet at the same time there is a feeling of stability and progress, of things being much more stable and easy than before.
With the opening and expansion of the Earth energy field there has also been an expansion of our hearts- the two have to go hand in hand and so you may also been feeling a vulnerability that at times may be uncomfortable and emotional but is so absolutely necessary for us to merge and grow into a very real experience of our oneness with everyone and everything around us.
Only if we are able to blur our boundaries of who we think we are, are we able to connect and feel the oneness of the Heart. And so it is only through this energetic opening of our Hearts that we CAN feel our total interconnectedness to everything.
We are truly being drawn together as our consciousness expands at exactly the same time. A type of push and pull effect that helps us to become more enlightened and open.
ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS OF THE PAST
And as we race forward towards a more enlightened and enlightening world, we are also being drawn closer to the ancient civilisations that had always lived like this before.
It makes sense- they have done it - we are now doing it now - too.
We are shape shifting ourselves and our worlds into new realities that match the high frequencies of the past. We are at a point where it is possible to do the “impossible”.
SHAPE SHIFTING INTO THE IMPOSSIBLE
The South American shamans are known for their extraordinary abilities. Not all shamans are shape shifters, but those who are, have mastered the art of living consciously in Oneness. They KNOW that ultimately everything that we see as separate from us, is really a reflection or part of us and so - the bat that flies in the jungle is also the human walking there, the stone that lies in the river is also the girl that looks at her reflection in the water.
What keeps us from consciously becoming that bat, or that stone is simply our belief that we are separate and also the fear that we have of becoming lost when we shape shift and “lose” our old identity.
It comes from us judging one thing or experience to be better (or worse) than another and so we alienate ourselves from having the richness of many different ways of being.
The story is often told of a Chinese wrestler who could not perform in public. Taught by his master to “dream” himself into becoming the rolling waves of the sea, he became invincible and many opponents described themselves as having the sensation of “drowning” in defeat. And the seeming impossible act of cutting with a karate chop through a block is just another example of the art of shape shifting and understanding that all is One.
Someone was telling me recently how it is known that many souls are still caught inside the Great Wall of China. This happened when Initiates suddenly realised that they were able to shape shift and literally become part of the wall! And instead of moving through the wall, the shock froze them with fear – and so they became stuck in the Wall.
Yet at this time of our evolution it is precisely what we are being asked to do:
To shape shift!
No, not so much on a physical level although surely that is possible and can happen, but more on a level of changing our identity. Moving from one kind of career to another that is more honouring of the Earth, moving from one country to another to be of assistance there, transforming one way of being that we are used to into another – shape shifting our thoughts from one way of thinking to another.
We are all shape shifters in some way or another, we just don’t see it that way and what I find the most useful about looking at my life as many shape shifts that I made, is that it gives me a sense of there being a purpose to it all, instead of viewing those experiences just as failures.
Why are we in the Western World so obsessed and afraid of failure?
It is just a shape shift that we went through and that we can learn from! It is no better or worse, just different! Judging the experience and ourselves as a failure, stops us from being in acceptance and staying in the flow.
And – in any event, ultimately there is one shape shift that we ALL HAVE TO LEARN TO DO - DEATH!
The Ancient Egyptians were masters of studying the art of shape shifting and particularly of the shape shift of moving into a different form of reality called the after life. Look at all the mummies and royal tombs - and even their huge and magnificent sculptures could be said to be part of some form of shape shifting- as if the spirit of the person shape shifted into a physical sculpture and literally became it.
Some of you may notice “faces” in the mountains or environment- another form of shape shifting. It holds the energy of something that has changed itself into another form.
Because shape shifting is really the ability we have to consciously move energy from one form into another.
The Mayans knew this- they simply shape shifted into a new reality and left no trace behind!
SHAPE SHIFTING OUR WORLD
Having just gone through the magnificent experience of SouthAfrica hosting the World Cup, it occurred to me that South Africans achieved an amazing shape shift of identity- to change their old identity of being separate from the world into a new one where they are embraced and worthy of it. Wow!
Do you have issues in your personal life, work environment, global perspective that you just cannot solve?
Look no further, we have been given the answers! You need to shape shift and become that block, that issue, that system that oppresses you and limits your freedom - move your focus into it without judgement and embrace the experience- feel it, be it - and then you are ready: to consciously and with intention move a new awareness into it - to shape shift what is there, into something quite new.
There is nothing that you cannot do. It is all to do with energy.
With Love Elizabeth

THE MOON CYCLE OF JULY & AUGUST
We have just had the full moon in Aquarius on the 25th July (Sunday) and the moon will now be waning and losing light until the 8th August (the dark moon).
This cycle of the Moon that started on the 12th July is called the Holly Moon, the Claim Song Moon and Lightning Moon in the Celtic tradition.
The last full moon is called in the pagan tradition “Lunasa” Full Moon which is traditionally the start of the harvest, a season of ripening, transformation and peace. In the Northern Hemisphere it is the height of summer when the Earth is most alive –so you over there wallow in the warmth of the sun and the greenness of the Earth!
Lunasa is also known as the feast of the Celtic god Lugh- the king who distributes riches and creates equality: a coming together of people from far and wide. At Silbury Hill in the UK, a mound of the Earth that is 4500 years old, people would gather round to symbolically watch the mound – seen as the pregnant earth goddess- give birth to the start of the harvest.
The 22nd of July is called Saint Mary Magdalene’s Day in the Christian tradition.
On the 6th of August it is once again the anniversary of the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. Meditate on peace for the world.
The Maya calendar dates that fall from 23rd July – 26th August are said to be especially powerful, especially the period 17-26th August. During this time:
“The volatile energies will be lessened when we use our light and energy for service and raising the collective consciousness regarding the unity and oneness of all life.- Alunajoy”
WHAT ARE THE PLANETS UP TO AT THE MOMENT?
Three planets have been dancing in the sky: Venus, Mars and Saturn in the western evening sky. You can watch their dance each evening, as the triangle they make gradually changes shape.
On 31st July Mars passes south of Saturn and on 6th August the planet Mercury is furthest out from the sun in the evening sky, best seen by us in the southern hemisphere.
On the 8th August, Venus passes south of Saturn, with Mars nearby. As the three planets set, Jupiter rises over in the east and dominates the sky for the rest of the night. The Moon is nearby on 30th July.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Mexico Gulf:
Thanks to everyone who forwarded to me the meditation from Dr Emoto to do with water- and for those who have not received it, here is some information that came from Linda Tucker of the White Lions (thanks to Tatiana who forwarded this to me!)
So much still has to be done and what the Gulf crises has also focused our attention on, is the general neglect and pollution of our seas and waters nearby- right where we live….
Place a glass of the purest water available to you over the representation of Mother Earth, and put a droplet of your saliva on your finger then into this water, while holding your intention of loving protection for Mother Earth, her precious creatures, and all-important water systems.
(For those not aware that water is telepathic, kindly familiarize yourself with the water experiments of Dr Masaru Emoto et al)
Change the water in the glass daily, but hold your intention and prayer constant.
The message from the White Lion, the White Buffalo and the other ‘prophetic animals’ of our time is one and the same:
Humankind must unite spiritually at a time of ecological and psychological crisis on Earth to bring about a positive solution.
Thank you for uniting in loving protection of our Great Mother…
In love and unity,
Linda Tucker

SHAPE SHIFTING MEDITATION
For energetic help during this meditation, bring in the loving assistance of the following two amazing crystals by simply focusing on them and their qualities. Imagine them being with you during the meditation to assist - and always remember to thank them for being willing to be of service to your spiritual growth.
Watermelon tourmaline- the super activator of the Heart, it links you to your higher self. It instils patience and teaches diplomacy, alleviating depression and fear to promote inner security. It assists an understanding of situations and for you to express your intentions clearly. It treats dysfunction and releases old pain.
Kunzite – it dissolves negativity, automatically raising vibrations in its environment. It is often used to dispel possession of outside and inside influences, providing protection on the outer area of the aura. It also acts as a shield from unwanted energies.
Meditation:
You can do this either physically with actions, or you can visualise the process- whatever you prefer:
Start by kneeling, with your body pulled into a ball, forehead against knees, arms beside the legs, fingers in fists. Feel your energy being totally contracted, just like a seed that is waiting to burst open.
Visualise and feel an energy that is connected to your heart and surrounds you like a ball. At the same time feel a light that is gently pulsating and awakening in your third eye area (between and slightly above your two eyes) as this light helps you to become more and more focused.
Now consciously start to feel your identity dissolving and of you moving yourself into the energy of a seed that is planted deep within the Earth.
Feel your enormous desire - as the seed to burst open and reach for the Sun. Remember that seeds are able to penetrate through concrete.
Build this energy with focused concentration. Look deep within yourself and feel!
Become the seed that is about to open.
Slowly allow your fingers to open- one by one – and your head to rise. Feel the plant starting to become alive, sprouting from the seed that has been buried deep inside the Earth’s darkness. As the emerging plant, let yourself move as you want, eventually standing and reaching out your arms.
All the while continuing to feel the spirit of the plant.
With your eyes still closed, see what is around you- listen, gain the wisdom of this world that you have shape shifted into.
Stay in this space for as long as you need.
When you are ready, feel yourself returning and slowly open your eyes. Lie down for a few minutes and rest. Allow your body to absorb everything that has happened.
Write down any images that may come to you during this meditation exercise to keep as a record. You may wish to repeat this meditation a few times and see how it changes.
Happy shape shifting!

EGYPT HEALING JOURNEY OCTOBER 2010
SACRED EARTH RETREATS©
For the love of the Earth- building a New Future.
ISIS & THE GREAT PYRAMID
ANCIENT EGYPT
6-19 OCTOBER 2010
(Opening of portal 10/10/2010)
"True teaching is not an accumulation of knowledge;it is an awaking of consciousness which goes through successive stages.”
(Ancient Egyptian proverb found in the temples of Luxor)
LEARNING FROM ANCIENT CIVILISATIONS
In our western civilisation we are taught to increase our knowledge through learning - learning mostly through books, manuals, courses…. and more courses, degrees, diplomas,…
BUT we only truly learn through having AN EXPERIENCE - and even then - the experience on its own is not enough –
it has to awaken something in us - a deeper understanding that changes us in some way.
This is probably one of the most important reasons that I am committed to following the path of the Ancient People. They truly understood that learning has nothing to do with how much academic knowledge or trainings one has accumulated - it has to do with a change in consciousness.
And so I structure the SACRED EARTH RETREATS in such a way that you don’t get “head” knowledge, but instead it is designed to give you a living experience of the place and the culture- so that it can - in turn, change you and help you to awaken your spirituality and consciousness.
It is easy to travel, it is not so easy to create a change in consciousness. There is a huge difference between visiting a place and being in awe of its historical facts and splendour - amazing yes!- but unless in some way you have had a real experience with it, it has a significant impact on you, it all remains academic.
You need to be changed by the place you visit.
You need to find the “teaching” of that place.
The ancient civilisations have many teachings for us! We need to extract an underlying philosophy or spiritual message from the remains of a civilisation as they lived there.
They left us all the clues- but we need to decipher them, make sense of them and apply that to our time now. Just like a guiding light that can show the way.
SO WHAT ARE THE SPIRITUAL TEACHINGS OF EGYPT IN 2010?
Searching for the spiritual teachings of the Ancient Egyptians, I find the many temples of Egypt fascinating to visit, but what really captures my attention more than anything is what we find inside them!
In places like Peru and Mexico the structures of the temples and cities are amazing, their layout - and how they were aligned to the Earth’s energy lines and surrounding features of the landscape. But what is noticeable, especially in Peru, is the absence of any sculptures.
Yet in the temples of Egypt one is struck by the awesome- and they are truly awesome!- sculptures of the Egyptian gods and goddesses. Filled with these representations of the pharaohs and other celestial beings, they seem real and alive. And the meticulous care with which they were made, just mind boggling!
The Ancient Egyptians were pre-occupied with the concept of bringing the divine into the human body – to merge the two so that there would literally be divine human beings walking on this Earth! And so they studied and were masters of how to project energy- a form of shape shifting- into the sculptures- literally as if one could blow life force into the stone and granite that they used.
These sculptures were filled with sleeping spirits - and it is as if they have been waiting- as if they are really our own more divine and complete selves that we can now access for positive power and authority to create a peaceful and better world.
But this can only be done with the Heart! Only the purest of energy such as the Heart is able to hold a high enough frequency to open those portals and access those keys of the Earth. Because those sculptures were made from the Earth- just like our bodies that return to the Earth when we die…
The worship of physical sculptures in Egypt would seem to some people rather primitive. But the ancient Egyptians did not look at it in our modern way: they understood that it was the representation of something more - the Divine! They were using the sculpture as a physical key or way to connect to their spirituality.
THE 2010 JOURNEY
And so - during this exceptional journey in October 2010- we will be searching for the higher spiritual teachings of the Ancient Egyptians:
Visiting the Temples, we will be looking to access connections to the spiritual energies that are still being held in the magnificent sculptures in temples of Egypt.
On the very significant date of 10 October 2010, we will be at the temple of ISIS in Philae to celebrating a new beginning and the restoration of our connection to the Earth .
There will also be an opportunity to attend healing ceremonies with an Egyptian healer and the wisdom plant SAN PEDRO.
All of this to culminate in the incredible experience of the GREAT PYRAMID of Giza – to amplify everything that we have gained through our divine connection to the Ancient Egyptians.
Going to Egypt at this time of October 2010 is a unique window of opportunity-
Are you called to participate?
I truly hope so!!
Love
Elizabeth

PRACTICAL ISSUES:
There are bookings for this retreat, please let me know if you are interested so that we can get the process started!
What makes a SACRED EARTH retreat journey so special?
Small groups, ethical and affordable pricing, lots of fun… and soul growth. And you will almost certainly come home with new likeminded friends…!
Elizabeth has facilitated many different groups through the years and always sets an intention to attract people to the journey that have soul connections and so are able to share deep meaningful experiences and also have fun together (yes we can have it all!!) during the trip. And so the groups are smaller (max 12) and very special - with many long lasting friendships being formed. This is a very important spiritual gift from the journey that stays with the participants even after their time together has ended.
So please know this is not an ordinary tourist journey! On as SACRED EARTH RETREAT journey you are introduced to Egypt in a very special way and with that, you are able to unlock so many more spiritual gifts than if you are merely going there as a traveller for the first time:
You are prepared for the journey on a soul level from the time you decide to go and so when you arrive in Egypt, you are already on a different level for connecting to the Earth there. This is a very important, because it can often take many trips (if not lifetimes!) for you to get to that level of openness and Earth connection.
On the practical side, most tour operators do two or more temples in a day which leaves very little time than just to have a walk around, get some interesting facts and take some photographs. On this trip you will see the most important temples of Egypt, but you will more importantly also be able to be quiet and experience the special atmosphere of each place at times that are most beneficial. You can only feel the profound effect of a sacred place when you are able to go within, be still and become more than an ordinary tourist.
Such an experience can have a life changing effect on you.
You are helped to go within when we visit a site so that you are able to energetically tune into the site with a positive intention, and it is not uncommon for participants to have memories surface that help to awaken them spiritually over many months and years later.
After visits we will have the opportunity to share our experiences as a group and also work with integrating these gifts we receive from the special places we visit so as to make it a spiritual journey in the true sense of the word.
Participants are encouraged to go with an intention to enjoy the trip, but also contribute something to the healing of the Earth, Egypt, the local people in need and the animals. This is part of living from the Heart!
Please note that nothing on the scheduled programme is compulsory- it there to help and assist you to have a spiritual experience of Egypt, but it is up to you as to how and when you want to join in. Having said that, I would encourage you to do take part in as much as you can, because very often it is by taking yourself out of your comfort zone that magic happens!
SAN PEDRO CEREMONIES OFFERED ON THE TRIP
We still have the heritage of wisdom plants that naturally enables one to move from one state into another as healing and awakening of our consciousness. This largely untapped treasure became taboo in Western culture because its power was feared and also the ignorance of some who frivolously use them to induce intense visions/hallucinations that have nothing to do with healing!
Yet the wisdom plants have been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of the world. Tibet, China, Mexico, Peru, Indonesia, Egypt, Africa, - the list goes on and on. Each culture has understood the power of healing from the wisdom plants- sometimes called the “death” plants, because of them facilitating a shamanic “death” experience of the old and a re-birthing of the new – purifying the person on many levels such as physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.
Probably one of the most well known wisdom plant is the Ayahuaska plant of the Amazon in Peru. There is also the Cactus plant called San Pedro that participants will have an opportunity to do ceremony with on the trip.
Each wisdom plant offers it own unique experience, but what they have in common is the ability to open up the sensory perceptions and abilities of the brain and body to beyond what one is normally capable of- thereby allowing an opportunity to experience learning on the deepest level possible.
Performing a ceremony in nature close to a sacred site can magnify the benefits of such experience enormously – and to open up to what is really there.
What do I need to know about food?
All breakfasts are included. The buffet breakfasts in Egypt are fantastic and can keep you going until dinner.
Lunch and suppers are included on the cruise and also take the form of buffets. A variety is offered, with soup, salads, main courses and desert. Quality is good be prepared to get used to the idea of large buffets. The boat also offers evening entertainment such as belly dancing, games etc.
Tea and coffee are often included with meals, but outside those you will need to pay for them. Please ask before you order!!
What do I need to know about the cruise?
There is a swimming pool on the deck so please remember to bring your bathing costume. You are able to sit outside on the upper deck to read or lie on a sun bed, otherwise you can keep cool inside with air conditioning.
Currencies and tipping
The local currency is Egyptian pounds and there are about 5.5 Egyptian pounds to 1 US DOLLAR.
Tipping is expected in Egypt and to make things easier, tips are collected at the beginning of the trip so that you don’t need to do any tipping yourself. Budget for $150 to cover tipping of all porters, boat staff, the Egyptian tour guide and bus drivers.
What is the accommodation like?
We stay in very comfortable and luxurious 4/5 star hotels and cruise boats that have luxury facilities available and most importantly- very friendly and helpful staff!
How do we travel?
We travel as a group together in an air conditioned micro bus for site visits and we also do a cruise on the Nile that is very special. As part of the experience we do an overnight train journey and we also fly between Cairo and Luxor (the Upper Nile region in the south).
Entrance fees
All entrance tickets are included in the price of the trip except for optional special visits such as to Tutankhamon’s Tomb (100 Egyptian pounds or approx $20). You will also have the option of doing a spectacular hot air balloon sunrise trip in Luxor (cost approximately $150).
What do I need to know about weather?
Egypt gets incredibly hot in summer, so best to visit in spring and autumn/winter and so this trip will be in autumn the best time of the year to be in Egypt. But the sun is always strong and it rains very seldomly- they are dependent on the Nile River for their water- so bring sunhat and sunscreen and also lotion for insect bites while you are doing the cruise.
International, local flights, train journey
The international flight from South Africa to Cairo is overnight and flies from Johannesburg arriving very early morning. There are many international flights flying directly to Cairo- e.g. British Midlands from UK etc so check with your travel agent or on the internet.
When you leave for your return flight it is advisable to give yourself 4 hours- the traffic in Cairo is incredibly busy and unpredictable! If you are nervous about traffic best to not sit next to a window when you are travelling in the bus or taxi- it is rather chaotic but they are very good drivers! You will be escorted from Cairo airport as you arrive and also taken there for your return journey by our travel agent in Egypt.
The internal flight from Cairo to Luxor is very short and lasts under an hour.
The train journey is a shared compartment where you have meals- the cabins are small but very well laid out and have upper and lower deck beds (for two people sharing).Great fun to do!
What is special about the clothing I need to know for Egypt?
Clothing is best to layer- one jersey in case it gets cold at night out on the upper deck of the boat.
Egypt is a Muslim country and as a sign of respect, no shorts and open t shirts. When we visit the temples it is preferable for your arms and legs to be covered, but on the boat you are welcome to stay in your bathing costume! Meals are more formal at night on the boat so bring something nice to wear. You will find many beautiful scarves in Egypt if you need to cover up more and it is also cooler to wear for the sun.
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH US. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!
Love Elizabethxxx

PRACTICAL ISSUES:
There are bookings for this retreat, please let me know if you are interested so that we can get the process started!
What makes a SACRED EARTH retreat journey so special?
Small groups, ethical and affordable pricing, lots of fun… and soul growth. And you will almost certainly come home with new likeminded friends…!
Elizabeth has facilitated many different groups through the years and always sets an intention to attract people to the journey that have soul connections and so are able to share deep meaningful experiences and also have fun together (yes we can have it all!!) during the trip. And so the groups are smaller (max 12) and very special - with many long lasting friendships being formed. This is a very important spiritual gift from the journey that stays with the participants even after their time together has ended.
So please know this is not an ordinary tourist journey! On as SACRED EARTH RETREAT journey you are introduced to Egypt in a very special way and with that, you are able to unlock so many more spiritual gifts than if you are merely going there as a traveller for the first time:
You are prepared for the journey on a soul level from the time you decide to go and so when you arrive in Egypt, you are already on a different level for connecting to the Earth there. This is a very important, because it can often take many trips (if not lifetimes!) for you to get to that level of openness and Earth connection.
On the practical side, most tour operators do two or more temples in a day which leaves very little time than just to have a walk around, get some interesting facts and take some photographs. On this trip you will see the most important temples of Egypt, but you will more importantly also be able to be quiet and experience the special atmosphere of each place at times that are most beneficial. You can only feel the profound effect of a sacred place when you are able to go within, be still and become more than an ordinary tourist.
Such an experience can have a life changing effect on you.
You are helped to go within when we visit a site so that you are able to energetically tune into the site with a positive intention, and it is not uncommon for participants to have memories surface that help to awaken them spiritually over many months and years later.
After visits we will have the opportunity to share our experiences as a group and also work with integrating these gifts we receive from the special places we visit so as to make it a spiritual journey in the true sense of the word.
Participants are encouraged to go with an intention to enjoy the trip, but also contribute something to the healing of the Earth, Egypt, the local people in need and the animals. This is part of living from the Heart!
Please note that nothing on the scheduled programme is compulsory- it there to help and assist you to have a spiritual experience of Egypt, but it is up to you as to how and when you want to join in. Having said that, I would encourage you to do take part in as much as you can, because very often it is by taking yourself out of your comfort zone that magic happens!
SAN PEDRO CEREMONIES OFFERED ON THE TRIP
We still have the heritage of wisdom plants that naturally enables one to move from one state into another as healing and awakening of our consciousness. This largely untapped treasure became taboo in Western culture because its power was feared and also the ignorance of some who frivolously use them to induce intense visions/hallucinations that have nothing to do with healing!
Yet the wisdom plants have been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of the world. Tibet, China, Mexico, Peru, Indonesia, Egypt, Africa, - the list goes on and on. Each culture has understood the power of healing from the wisdom plants- sometimes called the “death” plants, because of them facilitating a shamanic “death” experience of the old and a re-birthing of the new – purifying the person on many levels such as physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.
Probably one of the most well known wisdom plant is the Ayahuaska plant of the Amazon in Peru. There is also the Cactus plant called San Pedro that participants will have an opportunity to do ceremony with on the trip.
Each wisdom plant offers it own unique experience, but what they have in common is the ability to open up the sensory perceptions and abilities of the brain and body to beyond what one is normally capable of- thereby allowing an opportunity to experience learning on the deepest level possible.
Performing a ceremony in nature close to a sacred site can magnify the benefits of such experience enormously – and to open up to what is really there.
What do I need to know about food?
All breakfasts are included. The buffet breakfasts in Egypt are fantastic and can keep you going until dinner.
Lunch and suppers are included on the cruise and also take the form of buffets. A variety is offered, with soup, salads, main courses and desert. Quality is good be prepared to get used to the idea of large buffets. The boat also offers evening entertainment such as belly dancing, games etc.
Tea and coffee are often included with meals, but outside those you will need to pay for them. Please ask before you order!!
What do I need to know about the cruise?
There is a swimming pool on the deck so please remember to bring your bathing costume. You are able to sit outside on the upper deck to read or lie on a sun bed, otherwise you can keep cool inside with air conditioning.
Currencies and tipping
The local currency is Egyptian pounds and there are about 5.5 Egyptian pounds to 1 US DOLLAR.
Tipping is expected in Egypt and to make things easier, tips are collected at the beginning of the trip so that you don’t need to do any tipping yourself. Budget for $150 to cover tipping of all porters, boat staff, the Egyptian tour guide and bus drivers.
What is the accommodation like?
We stay in very comfortable and luxurious 4/5 star hotels and cruise boats that have luxury facilities available and most importantly- very friendly and helpful staff!
How do we travel?
We travel as a group together in an air conditioned micro bus for site visits and we also do a cruise on the Nile that is very special. As part of the experience we do an overnight train journey and we also fly between Cairo and Luxor (the Upper Nile region in the south).
Entrance fees
All entrance tickets are included in the price of the trip except for optional special visits such as to Tutankhamon’s Tomb (100 Egyptian pounds or approx $20). You will also have the option of doing a spectacular hot air balloon sunrise trip in Luxor (cost approximately $150).
What do I need to know about weather?
Egypt gets incredibly hot in summer, so best to visit in spring and autumn/winter and so this trip will be in autumn the best time of the year to be in Egypt. But the sun is always strong and it rains very seldomly- they are dependent on the Nile River for their water- so bring sunhat and sunscreen and also lotion for insect bites while you are doing the cruise.
International, local flights, train journey
The international flight from South Africa to Cairo is overnight and flies from Johannesburg arriving very early morning. There are many international flights flying directly to Cairo- e.g. British Midlands from UK etc so check with your travel agent or on the internet.
When you leave for your return flight it is advisable to give yourself 4 hours- the traffic in Cairo is incredibly busy and unpredictable! If you are nervous about traffic best to not sit next to a window when you are travelling in the bus or taxi- it is rather chaotic but they are very good drivers! You will be escorted from Cairo airport as you arrive and also taken there for your return journey by our travel agent in Egypt.
The internal flight from Cairo to Luxor is very short and lasts under an hour.
The train journey is a shared compartment where you have meals- the cabins are small but very well laid out and have upper and lower deck beds (for two people sharing).Great fun to do!
What is special about the clothing I need to know for Egypt?
Clothing is best to layer- one jersey in case it gets cold at night out on the upper deck of the boat.
Egypt is a Muslim country and as a sign of respect, no shorts and open t shirts. When we visit the temples it is preferable for your arms and legs to be covered, but on the boat you are welcome to stay in your bathing costume! Meals are more formal at night on the boat so bring something nice to wear. You will find many beautiful scarves in Egypt if you need to cover up more and it is also cooler to wear for the sun.
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH US. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS!
Love Elizabethxxx

EARTH CHANGES AND US
Flooding at Machu Picchu - earthquakes in Chile - storms and drownings in France – the list goes on and on…..
The Earth has always experienced extreme weather patterns and catastrophic events, but never at this scale and regularity as are happening this year and WITH us humans still being here and living on the planet.
This is unprecedented change happening right before our eyes and oh boy- how our eyes are being opened!
Nothing can stay the same- us, our families, our homes, our work, our consciousness.
And that is what this is all about- a complete change in consciousness that releases everything, but everything from the past, and bringing a new awareness that is fresh, alive, vital and honouring- honouring of ourselves, of those around us- and of the Earth.
2010 is a year of fire and as predicted, this is not going to be a comfortable ride. Have faith in your body being able to cope with this ride- it has all the wisdom and power to do so, all we need to do is direct our energies and intention more- more towards a common goal, more towards benefiting everybody, more with the awareness that when I do something to help “out there” and what is seemingly not really a part of me, I am also helping myself immensely.
LET PEACE FILL MY HEART
Keep us, o God,
from all pettiness
Let us be large in thought,
in word, in deed.
Let us be done
with fault finding
and leave off all self-seeking.
May we put away all pretence
and meet each other face to face,
without self-pity
and without prejudice.
Grant that we may realise that
it is the little things of life that
create differences, that in the
big things of life we are as one
And, O God,
let us not forget to be kind.
Mary Stewart
NOTICING AND DEALING WITH THE “SMALL”
The other big teaching at the moment is to pay attention to the minute and the small. It is the small that is also the big, and when we can master the small, it is the big that also changes. It has to be so, because all is connected- and yes, big surprise! The small is the big- we have just been conditioned to believe that we are powerless and only if we are able to change the big can the world change!
Well think again… when you donate one piece of clothing to the people in Haiti you are doing something big- it is the energy that counts, not the physical thing!
I remember when living in Cornwall I would often take some cake and spread it along the river for the faeries.
And yes, of course the faeries can’t physically eat it!! But you know, they are able to digest and take in the energy of Love that came from just putting it there for them.
So some may think I am mad- faeries? They don’t exist- a figment of the imagination. However, how many of you have seen the orbs on your cameras? And do you remember the time when the aura was a mystic concept and now it is as simple as taking an aura photograph?
Yes the world is changing and so are our perceptions of what is real. This material world is not where we are at- even in the hype of advertising that tells us that by having a material thing we will at last be happy, hides the truth that what we are really after is an emotional state of something.
WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR PEACE
So start noticing what makes you happy or gives you that peace- when do you feel connected? You will probably find it is it is the “small” moments in life- in your contact with people that resonates with the Heart and love, and Mother Earth – Nature. That is all that is real- no thing, no money, nothing in the material world can give us back our sanity or security.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Many people have been asking (including myself) what we can do to ease and assist with this major transition we are going through. At times my body have felt as heavy as lead and it has been so difficult just to accomplish the smallest of tasks. Yet when I managed to drag myself out of my inertia, miracles started to happen- it just needed that one step of doing something to get things started. I find physical exercise and being in nature- even if it is just working with a pot plant- immediately connects my energy and I stop feeling so tired. It is as if I get plugged in and start moving with the flow.
Later on in the magazine I will be talking about you also thinking of doing some earth healing work- especially in places where the Earth is still aligned and it “feels good”. See if you can do some of this, it is easy, and will help to ground you to – and the Earth and so many other people will feel the benefit of it:
IF YOU ARE SLEEPING,
WAKE UP
IF YOU ARE RESTING,
WALK
IT IS THE HOUR OF THE DAWN!

THE MOON CYCLE OF MARCH
We have just had the very intense full moon yesterday (Sunday 28th February) in the sign of Virgo that brought with it difficult but huge cleansings and healing opportunities. Virgo is the sign of purity and so the energies of the Ash Moon (as it is called in the Celtic tradition) have been helping us to purge and cleanse aspects of ourselves and our world that have become contaminated and lack purity by a healing process of forgiveness and letting go.
The full moon was also the day of the Chinese Lantern Festival, the Tibetan Butter Lamp Festival and the Jewish festival of Purim that is based on the Book of Esther and traditionally celebrated to avert a massacre in Persia.
The moon will now be waning until the Equinox Dark Moon on the 15th MARCH when the new moon will start in the fire sign of Aries (new beginnings, inspiration). 15th MARCH is also the beginning of the Hindu LUNAR NEW YEAR. The cycle for this new Moon is called the ALDER MOON in the Celtic tradition.
On the 20th MARCH it is the SPRING EQUINOX in the Northern Hemisphere and the autumn equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.
This is an incredibly important date, because huge cosmic energies will be flowing into the planet and it will be an amazing opportunity to ground and anchor these high frequencies for our lives and also the Earth, by being conscious and by keeping our heart open. There will be an expansion of our hearts- some may even feel this physically- as if we are able to hold more of the high vibration in our hearts and our body. Breathing during this time will be very important. It may feel overwhelming for some, and so just to rest and slow down anything you may need to do, so as to help the body to adapt to these new energies more consciously. The animals will also be helping us a lot to ease the transition that becomes very intense during this time.
I will be with a group in Egypt doing a ceremony with the Great Pyramid and you will be most welcome to join us energetically through your intention to connect and be part of it. Send love to the Great Pyramid and it enormous structure, so as to awaken the Stones and strengthen the angelic energies that will be working with the group and the Earth there. It is a very interesting group of people coming to Egypt, representing over 5 countries (Romania, Switzerland, UK, South Africa, USA, Zimbabwe) and so helping to bring healing for those countries in particular. (See the earth healing meditation also below).
The pagan Equinox Full Moon will be in the sign of 29th MARCH in the sign of Libra.
WHAT ARE THE PLANETS UP TO THIS MONTH?
Mars has still been very bright in the sky but is fading gradually in intensity as it moves further away from the Earth. Mars was close to the Moon on 25th February.
On 21st March Saturn will be opposite the Sun and its nearest to Earth this orbit - at 1272 million kilometres or 70.7 light minutes. The rings of Saturn that have been hidden from our view here on Earth for some time now, are beginning to make a reappearance and you should be able to see them through a small telescope.
EARTH MEDITATION TO ALIGN ON EQUINOX –
SACRED SITES
(20TH MARCH)
In the City of my Ancestors -
where they were devoted
where they gathered visions
where they gathered power –
The wise and visionary men
(Grandfather Cirilo Perez Oxlay, known as Wondering Wolf, Grand Elder of the Living Maya)
Much has been written about Sacred Sites of the World. These places of the Earth could be natural places of earth power, such as the Niagra Falls, Machu Picchu or places built through human effort such as the Pyramids of Egypt, South America and elsewhere in the world.
What is so special about Sacred Sites? They are places where the energy and healing ability of the Earth is magnified and so it is possible to have very special experiences there. As this quote above says, it was a place where one could go and find some kind of spiritual experience in nature very easily.
These places were also built or just naturally have and the building of the temples etc magnified it- a very strong cosmic connection with the stars and planets above. And so it was possible to experience both heaven and earth at the same time.
As time passed we forgot about this and became very alienated from nature in especially the Western Civilisation. We started to fear nature and the Earth because of her awesome power that we now longer understood and also wanted to control for our own purposes. And so we disrupted the earth energies and stopped them from flowing. The energy of the Earth mainly conducts through water and crystals- crystals are really just crystallised water and they have an amazing ability to bring alignment and unity back into the Earth and with us.
Crystals do not necessarily have to be the type you find in shops- it can be stones and even shells have a very crystalline nature- so you can find them everywhere in nature- if you know where to look and become more aware. Trees are also very important, because they “control” and regulate the flow of water in the Earth through their roots. The roots have far more functions that we know- they anchor the tree, draw nourishment etc, but they also do so much more in terms of the whole ecology and environment- we need to be very grateful to the roots of trees!! They are helping us immensely at the moment.
During this upcoming Equinox, find a place where you feel very happy and peaceful- preferably outside, but you may also find that inside with maybe a view of something lovely outside in nature. Just tune in with your intention and see where you are guided to sit or stand. Don’t allow your mind to interfere and tell you why- logically- it should not be where you want to be naturally.
Now take your attention to your third eye- the area between the eyebrows and start to focus your mind there. Try to imagine a light that is shining directly into the third eye- as if it is being highlighted for some reason. See if you can hold your focus there for a while, just helping your body to get used to the feeling. You may feel a slight warmth there, or buzzing- whatever you feel or don’t feel - just relax with it.
Now start to imagine a colour- a very, very light, almost see through blue. Intensify this colour and make it bigger- as if you are building it in the third eye. Now imagine that you are connecting and bringing down this light also to your physical heart and your heart becoming stronger- it is able to beat more easily and slowly- as if it is settling down.
Stay with that for a few minutes.
Now imagine that you are inside a beautiful tree and you can feel the roots of your tree going deep down into the Earth – just as if they are coming from your feet. Feel the freedom of the roots although they are also in the Earth and connected.
Now imagine a beautiful pink crystal that is at the very bottom of the roots of the tree. Feel the gentleness and love of this crystal and how it is creating harmony all around the area of the roots.
Imagine that you are drawing up through the roots of your tree the most beautiful energised and clear water- the water is being imprinted with the love energy of the crystal and so is carrying that up the tree to its branches and leaves. Feel the revitalising energy of this on all parts of your tree.
Feel how your body is also benefiting from this experience. Feel how stable and secure your body feels.
Now imagine that with your intention you are sending love and gratitude down into the Earth - first through the trunk of the tree and then through the roots and finally into the Earth herself.
Feel the Earth drinking up this love energy that is coming from you and your heart and how it connects you and the Earth, - it is almost as if you can feel her heart beat in you.
See yourself as a part of her- your body being a part of the Earth and she is a living part of you.
Now if you want, broaden your focus and imagine that you are connecting with the Great Pyramid of Giza. Imagine the shape of the Pyramid and see how the walls of the pyramid are glowing- gold and silver and there is the same light, light blue colour that is coming down into the apex of the pyramid. Give thanks to the builders of the pyramid for creating this structure on Earth. Realise it is a conductor of positive energies for ourselves and our planet.
Feel the joy of reconnecting with the Pyramid and also its true purpose.
Stay with this image and after a while, you can slowly come back more into your everyday surroundings and drink some water.
EARTH HEALING
We all can make a difference while we are outside in nature- often we become more aware of these opportunities when we are travelling, but we can just as easily do this in our garden or in a park or field nearby.
Jenny Hart (one of the participants that went to Peru with me in August) recently went to New Zealand and Australia and has written this of what she experienced and did there:
MY TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA.
While on holiday in January 2010 I was privileged to go to the most northerly tip of New Zealand, to Cape Reinga. We got there after travelling along 90 Mile beach in a bus especially modified to go on sand and the tide was low so we were able to travel the length of the beach. We came out the other side along a riverbed with huge dunes on either side. We climbed to the top carrying a buggy board which was hard work but the reward was a very fast trip down!
After all this exhilaration we arrived at Cape Reinga. In Maori legend, this is where the spirits of the deceased leave the land. This is also where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea merge. We walked to the light house and to the point which was a long walk down to Spirits bay. Several energies were swirling around but due to the busloads of tourists it was difficult to connect, so I just sent love and light to both the earth and “stuck” souls. We then came back to the Bay of Islands and had a beautiful boat trip with loads of dolphins frolicking around the boat. They had babies with them so we were unable to swim with them but they entertained us for hours. We had to leave as it was getting late -with special memories.
We then travelled to Australia and drove down the east coast from Brisbane to Sydney and decided to go inland to the Blue Mountains. As it was January it was very hot 40 degrees and so we looked for shade in the canopy of trees that cover these mountains and the special rock formations. One evening we waited for all the tourists to leave and the whole area was filled with this special Blue Haze, we were at the sight of the 3 Sisters in Katoomba. You are above the canopy and you can see a long way into the distance, one mountain is completely surrounded by other mountains and it reminded me of Mother Earth sitting in the middle of the huge universe with all the interplay of energies and oneness.
I also felt the same peaceful energy of Machu Picchu and I linked the two energies by leaving some charms that I had brought along, a drum from the shaman in Peru, some beads from Janet with a heart that had fallen off my key ring, a Rhodonite stone from my altar at home and a special quartz crystal from Elizabeth in Pringle bay. I offered these to air, wind, fire and earth as blessings to link the energies and asked the angels to send light to the people of the Blue Mountains.
It was a special place and I thought I would share this with you.
Namaste Jenny Hart.

It may feel overwhelming for some, and so just to rest and slow down anything you may need to do, so as to help the body to adapt to these new energies more consciously. The animals will also be helping us a lot to ease the transition that becomes very intense during this time.
I will be with a group in Egypt doing a ceremony with the Great Pyramid and you will be most welcome to join us energetically through your intention to connect and be part of it. Send love to the Great Pyramid and it enormous structure, so as to awaken the Stones and strengthen the angelic energies that will be working with the group and the Earth there. It is a very interesting group of people coming to Egypt, representing over 5 countries (Romania, Switzerland, UK, South Africa, USA, Zimbabwe) and so helping to bring healing for those countries in particular. (See the earth healing meditation also below).
The pagan Equinox Full Moon will be in the sign of 29th MARCH in the sign of Libra.
WHAT ARE THE PLANETS UP TO THIS MONTH?
Mars has still been very bright in the sky but is fading gradually in intensity as it moves further away from the Earth. Mars was close to the Moon on 25th February.
On 21st March Saturn will be opposite the Sun and its nearest to Earth this orbit - at 1272 million kilometres or 70.7 light minutes. The rings of Saturn that have been hidden from our view here on Earth for some time now, are beginning to make a reappearance and you should be able to see them through a small telescope.
EARTH MEDITATION TO ALIGN ON EQUINOX –
SACRED SITES
(20TH MARCH)
In the City of my Ancestors -
where they were devoted
where they gathered visions
where they gathered power –
The wise and visionary men
(Grandfather Cirilo Perez Oxlay, known as Wondering Wolf, Grand Elder of the Living Maya)
Much has been written about Sacred Sites of the World. These places of the Earth could be natural places of earth power, such as the Niagra Falls, Machu Picchu or places built through human effort such as the Pyramids of Egypt, South America and elsewhere in the world.
What is so special about Sacred Sites? They are places where the energy and healing ability of the Earth is magnified and so it is possible to have very special experiences there. As this quote above says, it was a place where one could go and find some kind of spiritual experience in nature very easily.
These places were also built or just naturally have and the building of the temples etc magnified it- a very strong cosmic connection with the stars and planets above. And so it was possible to experience both heaven and earth at the same time.
As time passed we forgot about this and became very alienated from nature in especially the Western Civilisation. We started to fear nature and the Earth because of her awesome power that we now longer understood and also wanted to control for our own purposes. And so we disrupted the earth energies and stopped them from flowing. The energy of the Earth mainly conducts through water and crystals- crystals are really just crystallised water and they have an amazing ability to bring alignment and unity back into the Earth and with us.
Crystals do not necessarily have to be the type you find in shops- it can be stones and even shells have a very crystalline nature- so you can find them everywhere in nature- if you know where to look and become more aware. Trees are also very important, because they “control” and regulate the flow of water in the Earth through their roots. The roots have far more functions that we know- they anchor the tree, draw nourishment etc, but they also do so much more in terms of the whole ecology and environment- we need to be very grateful to the roots of trees!! They are helping us immensely at the moment.
During this upcoming Equinox, find a place where you feel very happy and peaceful- preferably outside, but you may also find that inside with maybe a view of something lovely outside in nature. Just tune in with your intention and see where you are guided to sit or stand. Don’t allow your mind to interfere and tell you why- logically- it should not be where you want to be naturally.
Now take your attention to your third eye- the area between the eyebrows and start to focus your mind there. Try to imagine a light that is shining directly into the third eye- as if it is being highlighted for some reason. See if you can hold your focus there for a while, just helping your body to get used to the feeling. You may feel a slight warmth there, or buzzing- whatever you feel or don’t feel - just relax with it.
Now start to imagine a colour- a very, very light, almost see through blue. Intensify this colour and make it bigger- as if you are building it in the third eye. Now imagine that you are connecting and bringing down this light also to your physical heart and your heart becoming stronger- it is able to beat more easily and slowly- as if it is settling down.
Stay with that for a few minutes.
Now imagine that you are inside a beautiful tree and you can feel the roots of your tree going deep down into the Earth – just as if they are coming from your feet. Feel the freedom of the roots although they are also in the Earth and connected.
Now imagine a beautiful pink crystal that is at the very bottom of the roots of the tree. Feel the gentleness and love of this crystal and how it is creating harmony all around the area of the roots.
Imagine that you are drawing up through the roots of your tree the most beautiful energised and clear water- the water is being imprinted with the love energy of the crystal and so is carrying that up the tree to its branches and leaves. Feel the revitalising energy of this on all parts of your tree.
Feel how your body is also benefiting from this experience. Feel how stable and secure your body feels.
Now imagine that with your intention you are sending love and gratitude down into the Earth - first through the trunk of the tree and then through the roots and finally into the Earth herself.
Feel the Earth drinking up this love energy that is coming from you and your heart and how it connects you and the Earth, - it is almost as if you can feel her heart beat in you.
See yourself as a part of her- your body being a part of the Earth and she is a living part of you.
Now if you want, broaden your focus and imagine that you are connecting with the Great Pyramid of Giza. Imagine the shape of the Pyramid and see how the walls of the pyramid are glowing- gold and silver and there is the same light, light blue colour that is coming down into the apex of the pyramid. Give thanks to the builders of the pyramid for creating this structure on Earth. Realise it is a conductor of positive energies for ourselves and our planet.
Feel the joy of reconnecting with the Pyramid and also its true purpose.
Stay with this image and after a while, you can slowly come back more into your everyday surroundings and drink some water.
EARTH HEALING
We all can make a difference while we are outside in nature- often we become more aware of these opportunities when we are travelling, but we can just as easily do this in our garden or in a park or field nearby.
Jenny Hart (one of the participants that went to Peru with me in August) recently went to New Zealand and Australia and has written this of what she experienced and did there:
MY TRIP TO NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA.
While on holiday in January 2010 I was privileged to go to the most northerly tip of New Zealand, to Cape Reinga. We got there after travelling along 90 Mile beach in a bus especially modified to go on sand and the tide was low so we were able to travel the length of the beach. We came out the other side along a riverbed with huge dunes on either side. We climbed to the top carrying a buggy board which was hard work but the reward was a very fast trip down!
After all this exhilaration we arrived at Cape Reinga. In Maori legend, this is where the spirits of the deceased leave the land. This is also where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea merge. We walked to the light house and to the point which was a long walk down to Spirits bay. Several energies were swirling around but due to the busloads of tourists it was difficult to connect, so I just sent love and light to both the earth and “stuck” souls. We then came back to the Bay of Islands and had a beautiful boat trip with loads of dolphins frolicking around the boat. They had babies with them so we were unable to swim with them but they entertained us for hours. We had to leave as it was getting late -with special memories.
We then travelled to Australia and drove down the east coast from Brisbane to Sydney and decided to go inland to the Blue Mountains. As it was January it was very hot 40 degrees and so we looked for shade in the canopy of trees that cover these mountains and the special rock formations. One evening we waited for all the tourists to leave and the whole area was filled with this special Blue Haze, we were at the sight of the 3 Sisters in Katoomba. You are above the canopy and you can see a long way into the distance, one mountain is completely surrounded by other mountains and it reminded me of Mother Earth sitting in the middle of the huge universe with all the interplay of energies and oneness.
I also felt the same peaceful energy of Machu Picchu and I linked the two energies by leaving some charms that I had brought along, a drum from the shaman in Peru, some beads from Janet with a heart that had fallen off my key ring, a Rhodonite stone from my altar at home and a special quartz crystal from Elizabeth in Pringle bay. I offered these to air, wind, fire and earth as blessings to link the energies and asked the angels to send light to the people of the Blue Mountains.
It was a special place and I thought I would share this with you.
Namaste Jenny Hart.
