The Heart Breath.

At two-thirty am on Wednesday morning, I awoke to a download and activation. It was happening while I slept, which is unusual, and I saw it clearly. I tried to ignore it – I hate disrupted sleep – but I knew that I would never remember it in the morning. I grabbed my phone, made a quick sketch, wrote a small description, then tried to get back to sleep … to no avail. The energy continued flowing. Then it became something more, and I eventually got back to sleep sometime after three-thirty.

This is the exercise:

  1. Focus on the Hara line, which is a slim gold line that connects to the top of the energy field, and the base. The Hara line is at the level of intention, from where you manifest from your highest intentions. It holds your life’s purpose. When you work from this level, you only manifest what is within divine purpose.
  2. Once your connection to the Hara line has been established, focus on your Solar Plexus. Breathe in and imagine you are drawing energy from your solar plexus up to your heart where it changes to heart energy.
  3. Exhale that changed energy from the heart into your energy field. This changes your Will energy to a more Heart-centred energy.
  4. Repeat this, breathing energy from the solar plexus, into the heart, and then out into your field for as long as you feel you want to.

When they gave me this technique, they explained that it would ‘Allow what is – to be.’ I thought, half asleep as I was, that it would help us change our desires for certain outcomes, to accept what is happening in the world. Seeing through the lens of the heart rather than the personal will.They told me to try the technique and record what I experienced. Today, two days later, I had time to do that.

I dowsed to see what aura soma essences, and my own, would be of benefit – as I do every morning – and applied them as usual. I should have considered that before doing the exercise … because it was not what I expected. I’ll try it again without using any essences.

This is a recording of the exercise. I recorded it, as I always do, with no intention of sharing it, but I thought it might be useful. (Ignore the washing machine in the background!). Below it, is the written up version.

I first become aware of the energies are the Artemis, the stag, antlered energy, the Woodland consciousnesses. So, I start by breathing in and imagine breathing in and pulling up energy from the solar plexus to the heart, which I then breathe out. The SP energy anchors in the heart then flows out through the heart. And I breathe out, the energy is pink light. But I feel like I’m pushing or breathing out that love into the woodlands.  Blowing out pink energy into nature feels as though I am working with one layer of nature.

From the solar plexus energy now arises a golden energy. I breathe it into the heart and, it becomes a magenta energy and that light, as I blow it out, fills what looks like a deeper layer of energy, like the dinosaurs, back into ancient times, places that are exposed, layers of stratigraphy and rock formations that go back to those times. It’s as if those layers still exist in time and consciousness, times of volcanic upheaval and huge change. It feels related to the earth changes that are happening in the present time, weather changes: flooding, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions. Especially the storms. Things out of balance.

Now, I see a sword, standing with its point embedded in the soil in the woods. But there’s light around the sword, like Excalibur, yet it’s not Excalibur, it’s just a sword that has to do with the energies of winter. The Abundance King of winter. And he’s smiling. And I’m still breathing up that gold of the solar plexus and exhaling that magenta that it becomes as it moves through the heart. I’m sending that light to those images. And the energy is moving up to the sky.

I’m still aware of the Hara line, and the gold breath becoming the pink breath from the Heart that’s then blown into the air, into the sky, to the clouds.  I’m aware of a balancing between the layer with the sword in the ground, and the sky so the two of them are in balance.

Continuing that breath of gold into magenta, as I continue to breathe, I see a woman of light, a fairy woman. She’s all light. Long hair, long gown and she’s holding something out to me, like a gown of some kind, a cloak of light. It’s like the sovereignty symbol, but it’s more fairy, more light, like a nature lightbeing, a guardian of the woods, a guardian of the lights, guardian of the elementals, the nature elementals.

She puts this cloak around my shoulders which is white shiny velvet with a white brocade around the edges with tiny diamonds embedded in them and I become one with the Sidhe. All their knowledge and wisdom is embedded in the little crystals in the cloak, and it shines brightly in the woods, like if I’m walking through the woods. I’m aware that I’m like a beacon, and that other creatures in the woods will recognize that light and see it as kin, as fairy kin, as Sidhe kin, as an elemental worker holding that fairy light. (this feels like something that can be passed on attunement).

Again, I blow the energy out into my auric field, but now it is no longer magenta as it emerges, but snow. I’m blowing snow, covering the land in snow as I walk through the woods. It’s like a protection of sorts. The snow is a blanket that gets laid on the earth. The soil needs the snow; it needs that cold, and I see St. Catherine’s Hill covered in a blanket of snow again and there’s a quiet joy in the earth, the promise of spring  in the soil, when it’s covered with this blanket.

Snowbringer. The white snow dragon sits on top of the hill. The green and the blue dragons are asleep inside St. Catherine’s Hill, and now the white dragon is in the ascendancy, like a blanket holding it all together in this quiet hibernation. It holds everything in a form of stasis. It feels gentle, as though everything is asleep under this blanket. Everything is simply resting.

Next, I see the goddess with the stag antlers on her head, Artemis, which feels like me, but is also not me. It’s that woodland energy, connected to the trees on top of St. Catherine’s Hill. She’s holding it all in balance, but it feels like me holding these weather patterns for the area in a balance, or that part of me that works with her energy. She’ll know when to remove the blanket of snow. She’ll know when it’s time for the green dragon to come to its ascendancy, when the green plants start to grow again. But the green and the blue wake up together. The blue dragon is slower than the green dragon. The green is the snow drops that start to emerge first, and the crocuses.

The blue water dragon is still. It’s present, but it’s quiet. Then my breath becomes more fiery and it starts to melt the snows and the crystals of the snow start to melt away and become the water of the blue dragon. It’s adding that layer of elemental energy to the green.  They work together. The golden dragon of the sun appears above, warming the soil; warming the plants, so now other things begin to grow. Some things grow in the cold and other things need the warmth. The green dragon starts to become more alive now, and  the white dragon has faded away, melted with the snow.  The blue is becoming more vibrant and alive, and the rain comes, the sun shines, and it’s spring.

Everything in a balanced cycle. The dragons, blue and green, become more vibrant, more alive. They send their energy out through the hill, through the countryside, travelling through the energy lines, travelling through the soil. Filling the environment, meeting Winchester cathedral (on the blue waterline that runs beneath it). It’s more powerful now and everything is really enlivening. Everything is in full flow, and full growth, and it feels alive and it’s summer and everything is colour. The gold dragon/sun is above. St. Catherine’s hill, shining down.

St. Cross is also covered. All the local energy points are covered, solar-energized. The green dragon has spread its energy as if it’s expanded out into the environment, like the gold disc at Danebury. And the blue is invigorating the water of the Itchen river, both water and soil, and everything is working in perfect harmony. Perfect seasons, as they should be. The birds are singing, the rabbits are out on the grass, people are walking on the hill, the weather’s warm, beautiful, peaceful, gentle.

It’s wet sometimes, as it is supposed to be. The seasons, back in their natural order, until the dragons, the blue and the green, start to become sleepy again and move into their position in the hill, getting ready for their winter hibernation. Preparing for the ice, the snow, the cold blanket to be laid above them, and around them, bringing that cold, quiet, hibernation energy.

Harmony restored.

Update on 1st December 2024:

I was impulsed to use this breath this morning and did it for about ten minutes, intending that my breath continue to move from my solar plexus and out through my heart. An hour later, and I had a discussion with someone around an issue that had always been present but that I had never voiced. I had noticed it over the years, and decided to ‘work around it’, changing my own behaviour so that it would no longer have the effect it had always had, the usual result being feelings of anger and determination that I would take back my power.

However, this morning, this issue arose again, and without even thinking about it, I immediately went back into that same pattern of listening, following his communication, and then realising that the same dynamic was taking place again. This time, however, instead of sitting on it and vowing I would change my behaviour, again, so I would not be so affected by it in the future, I found myself telling him about my experience. He was completely unaware that his actions were creating that dynamic and because I was able to talk about it, it changed the energy. I had succeeded in taking back my power of choice-making without having to plan a strategy of future management of the situation.

I have always, since recognising that my energy/communication creates many of my situations, taken the responsibility to make the changes myself. It was always a way of to observe what was happening, which meant I could then change my own behaviour. This is what I was taught. And that is still a good thing to do. If there is a crocodile in the water and I go for a swim, knowing it is in there, and if that crocodile then eats me, then I am responsible for the choice I made to go into the water in the first place.

This breathing technique, however, allows me to talk about it, without blaming, taking the energy from my solar plexus and flowing it through the heart. The energy does not get stuck in the solar plexus and therefore does not build up causing physical issues. The communicating of the issue changes the dynamic in a different way. Nothing unusual in that. However, the outcome of this was that my friend was able to explore the issue for himself, recognise his own childhood issues around why he does that, and then made changes that benefited him too. So not only was it a healing for me but also for him.

Such a simple technique, but how simply wonderful.

Reconciling Realities.

fantasy-36I have always struggled with the idea of how Gods and Goddesses fit into the framework of our Soul reality, the Source, Life between Lives, etc. For instance, I know that Gods and Goddesses are constructs, a way of us to personalise certain forces, forces that make up our created world. But when I started doing the Gaia Method, I found that aspects of those Gods/Goddesses were being anchored in the people receiving the attunement, and often I would ‘be’ a Goddess, energetically, like a channel for her, while she passed the attunement.

Trying to understand this intellectually was a problem. I’m not a believer, or follower, of Gods/Goddesses.  I don’t believe in altars and rituals, although I have no issue with people who do. I was brought up as a Catholic, so for me at least, Jesus and Mary were IT! We didn’t do Gods and Goddesses. I didn’t even know that they existed. We had saints, which of course are the same thing! I know that now!

I also do not ‘worship’ deities. I learned that lesson early, while in the Hare Krsna’s during my teens. Physical idols were just that, physical idols, not Gods. Although, again, I understand that they provide a focus for people to connect to a particular energy.lakshmi1

However, while working with these Goddesses I can feel their  ‘personality essence’ and how they work in our lives. They contain a history of all the ways in which we honoured them in the past. But I still had trouble rationalising them. Working with them is like working with pages of the past, in the present, and they feel like real people to me, but with a knowledge and way of acting that is not mine.

Then I found more Seth material on this subject and I suddenly felt ‘aaahhhh’. Here is what he says:

“I am trying to tell you that if you look inward, and study your own sacredness and creativity and blessedness, and joy and power, as closely as you study the sacred books of the gods, then you would realize that all those books of the gods were based upon the great reality of the individual, the individual soul, and therefore based upon your own reality.

Do yourselves just honor, and in doing yourselves that honor, you will see within yourself, the ‘gods-in-becoming’ that you are.

james-c-lewisNow the idea of the gods has been set up before you, by yourselves as ideals for you to follow – projected outward from your own souls into physical reality as guides for you to follow – that you yourselves have set up. And so they have followed the thesis and the times and the historical context of their mortal birth.

But behind and within those myths are the realities of your being – the Christ and the Buddha are both within you, for they are symbols of what you are. Pray to them and you pray to the hidden gods within you. You do not need to kick them aside like a child irritated with his toys!

Understand the nature of the gods as they come down to you, through your histories, and in them always you will find the unspoken but real nature of the hidden god within each of you.

All That Is is beyond your intellectual ideas of personhood. Any concepts you use to personify that idea can be useful. But only in seeing beyond them can you release the power, and the energy, and to some extent, the knowledge of what you are, and only through understanding that, can you hope to have any idea of All That Is. For All That Is materializes through your flesh and being.”

That made total sense to me, especially as the Gaia Method is about anchoring aspects of Feminine Divinity and manifesting those qualities and energies in the world. It is about re-learning the way we trained in past times, so that the energies of the Goddess, which have been lost in us, is found again. We are re-birthing these awarenesses into this world.hathor_rising

As they move through us, we acknowledge them as part of us, and we live that reality in our everyday world. The world of feminine power and wisdom. We are the Goddesses, incarnated in the world, to bring back the awareness of her love and kindness, wisdom and power to a very ailing world. But we are human beings living in a physical world, so that Divinity is acted on in our reality. We manifest her wisdom through our bodies and our actions. That doesn’t mean we run around acting like a princess, it means learning to channel that part of ourselves, when it is required, into our art, our lives, our writing and our Being; into our relationships, with each other and with the natural world. We move, quietly through the world of humanity, bringing our gifts and sharing our knowledge.

We don’t ‘smite’, as much as we might want to sometimes! We have lived a long time, not knowing this part of ourselves, and getting to know it again, and to channel it again, is going to take time. But there are many great teachers out there who are here to help us do just that. So we are indeed blessed. And remember too, that we are not seeking perfection either, We are seeking to do our best and to Be Divine Humans. We have plenty of room to grow. And one day, hopefully, our world will be populated with the Gods and Goddesses again…US! It is time to reconnect.

 

Pathways.

There are three paths for the Gaia Method Earthways. You can take the Therapeutic Path, where you learn the Gaia Method for healing as part of your therapeutic practice; or you can take the Path of Earth Energy-worker, focusing on earth-work in the Landscape; or you can take the path of the Initiate, in service to the Divine Feminine. Each path incorporates the other, so if you decide that you feel drawn to being an Earth-energy-worker, then that will also include the Therapeutic path, and the Initiatic Path also includes the Therapeutic and the Earth Energy Path.pathway optionslarge

The only path that is not consciously chosen is the Initiatic Path. This is the initiation into the Temple of Artemis. If your soul is an Initiate, then that will be made clear at the beginning of your attunement. Otherwise, you can choose the Path you feel more drawn to. Your own soul knows what it needs and will guide you in that direction.

You are self-directed in your training, in that you follow your own guidance. The Gaia Method Earthways paths are for people who are already confident in their ability to channel energy and do not need instruction. That saying, we are writing some books that will help you if you are working on the Earth energy path or working with nature.
