Tending the Crown Chakra connects us to Spirit and infuses our energetic cloak with abundant light. For this is who we are.
The crown chakra Is the highest frequency of all the chakras and it energetically spins at a perpendicular axis to the earth or a vertical axis connecting us to not only to our higher self but to Creator. As a vertical axis it acts like a tuning fork for all the chakras and it can empower your energy field when opened and flowing properly. Like a spoon stirs a pot of porridge to integrate the grains with the fruit, this chakra spins gemstones of frequency and light encoded information into the others blending and weaving the chakras into a cloak of light. It coheres the auric field into a tapestry that is large and bright. However the other chakras & channels must be open in order to receive the transmission. This amethyst ribbon of light allows us to connect spiritually for prayer and meditation into the silver and gold rays of light transmission sent by Creation to the moon and sun. The crown chakra governs the bones and muscles and the largest organ of the human body the skin. If the crown chakra is diseased spiritual discomfort will be experienced.
Prayer and Meditation can help us plug in and tune our frequencies to the highest bandwidth in order to fulfill our potential. If the world's issues have gotten in your way you can remove the obstacles that interfere with your system so that growth continues. If we have ignored ourselves for too long and have forgotten who we truly are; Spirit; we may need help to realign our energy fields. There are practitioners who have trained in the healing arts of the energy system such as Reiki practitioners or another type of healing therapy. Find one who is aligned in Spirit and who is sincere and that does the work in order to serve the Spirit that is each of us. This is a very important criteria for your choice. If you have been long off the path your intuitive powers may be blocked, in which case begin to cleanse and open the body so you can integrate the physical and mental body with the Spirit body and learn to trust yourself. This will prepare the emotional body for change.
Yoga has tremendous power to heal the energy system and integrate us into wholeness. Look for a teacher that speaks to your heart. The work is done on the inner self and should not be apparent. That is key to developing right intuition. If one is efforting to control recognize ego in the an ineffectual placement. We all have ego and we learn early how to use this perception to control others perception. Unfortunately, this is something we need to undo. Set your will on Spirit and unlearning bad habits will be Done unto you. Eventually the ego will be recognized for what it is and not treated like an altar of God.
Traditional yoga teaches us to close our eyes to be within and to release us from the illusional hold of the physical realm we imagine we observe. When we are ready to truly open our eyes the beauty will be restored to our vision. You will see beauty and connection everywhere as you experience oneness with Creation.
Yet still you shall ebb and flow back and forth into polarity consciousness until your strength is willed into awareness every waking hour of the day and you do not tarry
long in weakness. We have one earth minute to recognize a downward spiral in our thought process before the thought weakens our energy field. So it's ok, just simple recognition and your will to go back to light empowered thoughts can redirect your energy to fulfillment.
There are many ways to meditate but the most common one engages the use of a mantra. A mantra is a wonderful tool to acquire to keep you full of light. Mantras are sound structures of one syllable or more. Many mantras do not have a logical meaning so as not to stimulate the mind. Although not necessary, if you have been steeped in religion it can be helpful to have a mantra that speaks to that capacity within you. A manta of a simple sound structure helps especially when you are too busy to sit and pray or meditate or whatever it is that you label your centering. As you go about your work just call on this sound and repeat it to yourself mentally to keep your mind from becoming negative. I took mantra initiation in which a mantra was given to me by a dedicated server of light who is well respected and trustworthy. I found it fantastically illuminating.
Learn to recognize feelings that deplete. Thoughts inform the emotional body. Instead of ignoring or suppressing the feelings, overwrite them with your mantra until you have time to examine the thoughts. You will know if they need to be examined because you will see a regular pattern emerging and they will persist over time. That is your clue. Many thoughts of a low frequency may just drop away with your repetition of a mantra because they are of a collective vibration of mass consciousness. If you see a perpetual pattern of thoughts that are bringing you down rejoice. Now you can begin your own personal journey of healing. Call upon Spirit to assist you and jot down your pattern of thought. Many times it is history repeating itself because it needs healing. That's all. It is like a pet who makes a tone to alert us. Just write down the crystalized thought form and you will begin the releasing process. We are Creators when our channels and frequencies are open and vibrating to their potential. Look at how a baby glows because it is so connected to the light. Baby yourself now and hush those cries because the past can stay there if you allow it to heal within your present awareness.
Cultivate friendships with people of like-mindedness to enrich your life and remind you who you are. Come into the garden and feel the flow. Within the bounteous fragrance of friendship lie the seeds of our souls fruit. These relationships can be especially helpful during humanities times of loss and grief, whose forces can seem crushing.
One day in time we shall drop our earthly form. It can be painful to live a long life or you may be blessed with self caring wisdom and vitality. Perhaps you will experience or be called to witness a flame of life appearing to extinguish in youth before the body realizes suffering. You will go deep within the well then. What will you find? Find the garden of souls lit with radiance who bless you reminding you who you are, helping you bear what seems unbearable and unstoppable. Perish not do we. Go forth and blossom keeping your light strong. Be that tree of stability for others and let them bask in your light for inspiration back to their own fruitful roots.

NOVEMBER 5, 2013
Humanity incarnates on earth, a place of darkness and light because it is symbolic of our fallen ego state of separation from the totality of complete light that we are. Who we are is the light of God. It is easy to forget this as our ego calls us to tackle busy days and illusory goals.
The planet our ego has called us to so that it can believe in its own existence, seasonally and daily falls into lapses of light and darkness. The solar eclipses emphasize our separation from the light and have a very real effect on us. Let it be but a teaching tool to help get back to the light. Recognize it is a choice we make to have awareness or to be in the dark. Being in the dark is ignorance or ignore--ance of the WHO that we are. Once we experience the truth of the LOVE that we are, there is not as much of a return to the lack that we were unaware that we held. Our watchfulness however must need to be fanned just like a flame needs tendering and care. If we lapse in our care-taking we risk the fire going out. And our symbolic internal fire within the light of God can dim. At that time we are most vulnerable to the darkness that also dwells on earth, our temporary home. That is why it is important to care for our souls and place ourselves as close to God as we can. This is called WILL. It is a conscious act.
There are many cultural festivals that celebrate light. The Hindu festival of light is occurring presently. Diwali is one of the most important holidays in the Hindu culture. The five-day new year celebration centers on festivals, gift giving and family gatherings that is similar to the Christmas tradition of sharing gifts, sugar plums and candy canes. Diwali, the festival of light began Sunday November 3, 2013 coincidentally coinciding with a complete solar eclipse that was visible on the North East coast of the United States at 6:30 AM. The lanterns and candles lighted for Diwali honor the flame of divinity within us all.
This time of year as the earths light diminishes in our northern hemisphere culminating with the winter solstice on December 21st we experience Jack o lanterns and candy given for the hallowed eve of All Saints Day. We look forward to giving thanks for a productive harvest. The Jewish Festival of lights is Channukah and similar traditions of gathering, gifts symbolizing gold light and delicious traditional foods are enjoyed. Many temples worldwide have been built to honor the return of sun light as daylight begins to lengthen after the shortest day of the year.
Obstacles to experiencing our light are thoughts that produce fear and anxiety. It is therefore important to identify what is causing us to loose our peace. The light of Holy Spirit can penetrate only when there are no barriers and our will is set to receive this. Set an intention every day as soon as possible after awakening. If necessary journal your fear and overwhelming emotions to release the toxins that have gathered in the physical body.
Peace is our birthright and harboring judgements will get in the way of light. We want to clear the darknesses so the light can penetrate fully into our minds to illuminate our truth. Release your judgements and become free. Judge others and you can not avoid judging yourself and that weakens the opening to receive light. Always think about the light and place yourself in it continually. See it feel it and experience your love which is Absolute.
Peace and Namaste

Dreams of Our Mystical Realities
THE DREAM
In a dream state just before awakening for the day, I am aware that I had just been somewhere with Jack and we departed each other. Next I drive up to a mailbox at the edge of a small driveway. As I was opening the box Jack's Mom Kathy appeared at the top of an outdoor staircase that was to the left of the driveway where I was standing beside my car at the mailbox. My mother-in-law waved down to me as she stood within a doorway. The doorway represents a portal and it was an open door. She simply appeared there and did not open nor close the door. The house surrounding the doorway was nebulous and seemed vague and white. This was not a place from my memory and I was there to obtain her mail. It occurs to me that her husband had been in the postal service in the army and in his career as he managed and directed many postal offices. my husband Jack had his first summer job delivering mail.
A procession of woman wearing white robes began to move up the driveway on either side of my car towards Kathy. They walked right by me as if I wasn't even there which I found perplexing. My ego side felt offended as I thought that even a dog would acknowledge the presence of another. She was busy receiving them and I felt sad that I was not part of that which brought up a feeling of rejection which I quickly glossed over by going back to separating the mail. Kathy seemed to sense the fragility of my emotion as she responded by throwing a white down comforter towards me. It was similar to one I've had a long time and that I would hang outdoors to freshen. I missed catching it though and it landed in the driveway. quickly I tried to retrieve it so it wouldn't get dirty but alas the comforter had already picked up the driveway dirt and I was dismayed. I tried to shake the dust off but clearly it needed water so I walked into the nearby woods looking for water.
I happened upon a small hole filled with black water at the edge of the forest clearing. I washed the comforter and my hands and when I was finished I walked out into a breathtakingly bright and beautiful clearing just past the water hole at the edge of the forest. I carefully laid the pristine white comforter in the golden sunlight to dry. Then I sat down to meditate on the warmth of the radiant glowing sun. the rays of which surrounded me filling me with warm golden light. While I was sitting cross legged on the earth in lotus position an astonishing sight emerged. A huge black deer came through the forest toward the water hole and paused at the black mud puddle to wash its feet and as I looked down I noticed two large human feet on the deer. The feet were perfectly placed next to one another with the insteps and big toes touching and they were huge, plumply full and ashen black. They were a color black that I have never seen on a human being. An ashen black. The nails were also completely ashen black. The hugest and loveliest doe I had ever witnessed dropped its head down to lick its human looking feet seemingly unaware that I was so close. When the huge graceful creature finished grooming the black earth off of its feet, it shook off the last of the earth and peacefully strode towards the clearing and majestically walked out of the forest and into the light. I was absolutely awestruck! It was so impressive! In the brilliant light the dark doe was so magically regal.
Just then the deer seemed to sense my emotions and turned its head to gaze at me. As we made eye contact I was again awestruck at the depth of understanding these eyes communicated, the majesty of vision the swelling of love in my heart. Then it walked towards me and put its face in mine and with its tongue it licked my eyes for a goodbye kiss, nuzzling my eyes just the way Millie our cat does in the morning when Jack and I are awakening.
AWAKENING FROM THE DREAM
Next I was pulled from my sleep state by the gonging of an alarm clock. And while still in dream state I had the lucid thought that it was perfect timing because my dream had completed. Just then I awoke, and sensed Jack hopping up to turn off the alarm. I stayed in bed to establish total recall of this wondrous dream. Jack suggested that I write it down immediately so that the details would not be lost. He came back to bed and Millie climbed up to greet us and nuzzled my face until my eyelashes moistened. Just like in the dream!
After arising I prepared myself for the days work. This morning I was scheduled to teach Yoga to the special education population at an elementary school in my hometown neighborhood of Paramus, NJ.
On my way there, I phoned Jack. At that moment I noticed a car with the numbers 999 on its New York licence plates. As the car sped past, I was reminded of how many 999 plates we saw in New York just yesterday as we had made our way to Jacks music performance at The Firehouse Space in Brooklyn. Nine is the number of completion in the study of numerology. And it is said symbolically that cats have nine lives.
The dream about the deer and Jacks Mom had shaken up my emotions and I wept at the idea of the dreams symbolism of her impending death and transformation. Kathy has had mesothelioma and her husband is sick from worry and exhausted from stress.
During the rest of my journey to Paramus, I prayed to Mother Mary that I may be focused for the children that I was about to teach, many of whom had autism. When I arrived at the school I said one more prayer before I got out of my car so I was surprised to find myself falling down just outside the door on the concrete walkway. Perhaps the door represented the portal in my dream and it was just too real for the moment. But I was protected as I fell and only scratched the palms of my hands. The teachers aids for the children I was about to teach just so happened to be the ones outside unloading the bus at that very moment so they recognized me and came rushing over to help me up and make sure I was not injured. That opened my heart even more and when I got inside it became apparent to me that these children had special empathic skills and were responding innately to my open heart and my sensitivity. The first child to come in to the class came over to me with a huge smile and took my hand and looked into my eyes so sweetly sensing my open and grieving heart that was preparing for the death of a loved one. Each child who came to Yoga class today seemed to be aware of my energy and responded lovingly. Several of them hugged me and smiled right into my eyes. As these children did Yoga they were especially magically present and obedient today. From them I received a universal message of deep compassion and a connectedness to all. There are no accidents.
ANALYZING THE DREAM
Later on, back at home, I thought about this and that black doe in the forest and I interpreted the dream symbology. Kathy the mother of my husband Jack is preparing to depart to a higher plane of existence where she will be received by her Creator, friends and family who have already passed and that the white comforter suggests the purity and comfort not only of a mother and of a wife but of the supreme Holy Spirit Mother and Mother Earth. The role of comforter that she has played will soon be passed to me as she transforms majestically and leaves the earth plane, shaking off the dust of form as she emerges into the Light that is aught there is.
The color of black in an ashen form is the symbolism of ashes to ashes and dust to dust that we celebrate in our Catholic religion. It is also a symbol of the carcinogenic disease of mesothelioma that is slowly claiming her body. The ease and gracefulness of how she shook off the last remnants of dirt and dust after cleansing in the water to purify shows us that she is prepared to depart into the majestic glory of the All Encompassing Light and that it will be easeful. Her enlightenment is regally successful and she will always be dear in our hearts as we will be in hers always. She kisses us goodbye as she does her very own feet. She is a graceful giant of radiant beauty as she is absorped back into the Light. And She will welcome us dearly when it is our turn.
Love Always,
Mom
