Spiritual Evolution on a personal level
Aloha All,
Hope you are safe and well and surfing the energy of the great waves of change.
Here is a short 6 minute Tree of Life meditation from a couple weeks ago, to help during these challenging times of incredible expansion even in the midst of our personal isolation.
Thank you Adam Lightplay for recording this and sending it to me, and for upgrading the sound from that Sunday.
Blessings and Aloha,
Erika
Aloha… With all that is happening in the world, it seemed like a good idea to create this 18 minute guided meditation. It gently leads you through techniques to help your body feel safe and release stress and increase well-being as you experience life. It increases spiritual and energetic awareness; helps to keep you in balance.(most likely will be cross-posted)

The world can use some light and healing.
For those of you who want a guided way to send energy to those in need, in Paris and the world. Here is my free Gold Ribbon Heal Your World meditation, I did in conjunction with Reiki Harpist Cymber Lily Quinn.

For those who want the written version.
Meditation:
You can do this in a group or by yourself. If you are in a group I would suggest sitting in a circle and working with the energy inside of the circle.
If you are working “by yourself” (and I put that in quotes because it really just means that we are the only one physically present when we are working; we are never really alone on a spiritual level) my suggestion is to sit in a comfortable chair (like you would when you are meditating in general) imagine that you are joined in a circle by your “spiritual entourage”, meaning your guides, or your ancestors, or the Fairies of the Universe, or whomever you would want to ask you to join in for some energetic enhancement on a planetary level.
Ground and center and possibly create and destroy some roses (if you aren’t familiar with this I have included links)
Get your own energy running and find your own peaceful centered place. Breathe and relax and know that all is well and that you are adding to energy that is already flowing and in motion for the Greater Yet to be.
Breath and ground and observe the flow of energy with your minds eye, or with your awareness.
Let yourself (if you wish) ask this energy of enlightenment if there is any information that would be useful to you personally for your own unfoldment. Be still and let the information come to you in whatever way you like; images, words, pictures, feelings.
Let this process unfold as it needs to; and at some point you will feel it’s completion. Let the ribbons join the main flow. breath and release energy down your grounding.
Thank the energy and thank your guidance. Know that you have done a great service to the planet and to your own life. Know that you do make a difference. You rock. 🙂
Thank yourself for taking the time to do this. And please also accept my thanks in advance. You are a Divine spark of the All that Is. I honor your light.
Bright Blessings and Aloha,
Erika
I was researching Chiron in Pisces tonight. I was doing this for a couple of reasons. One is that Chiron is currently in Pisces; it has been for a while now, this is interacting once again with our seemingly ever present Uranus-Pluto square, and creating levels of personal and planetary growth that I sometimes wonder how to make it through!
The other reason is that I also have my sun in Pisces and so I have been experiencing Chiron conjunct my sun in Pisces on and off for a (seems like a l-o-n-g) while now and it’s non-trivial to say the least.
The last reason may seem funny but I’m nothing if not a little odd. 🙂
I rescued a sick and soaking wet little abandoned kitten (now named Freddie Mercury) a couple months ago from the jungle (literal jungle as I live in rural Hawaii) and realized based on his age that he was born most likely the week of my birthday this year and therefore is not only a Pisces but was born with Chiron in Pisces conjunct both my Chiron and my sun. (He’s much healthier and much bigger than when I found him.)
Hence the research.
So it’s been a wild ride yes?
We are just starting to recover from our recent Hurricane in my corner of the world, and the rest of the planet seems to be in the throes of some amazing birth contractions; many seem very painful, not just to the people directly involved but to all of us as we feel these deep wounds being accessed.
Chiron is the wounded healer and Pisces is all about oneness so we are going to feel these things much more acutely than we might have in the past.
How have you been doing?
Are you feeling any pain and fear from places outside of yourself?
If so you can use this awareness to both release all that is not your own energy (to keep you sane) while at the same time sending loving kindness and healing energy to all the places in your life or the lives of others of which you may be keenly aware.
How about from inside of yourself?
That one will be easier if you let go of everything else first of course; even then it may still be felt as a deep longing and calling for healing internally that can not be easily denied.
One way to address this is to reimagine your concept of God/Goddess/The Universe/The Most High
Do you have a concept of God that is big enough to handle all the intense paradox involved in the incredible evolving human spirit of joy; while at the same time holding you up amidst the incredible pain and sadness that is playing out across our experience?
I ask these questions because it’s been part of my path of late, I am definitely in a process of updating my concept of God(s). I need to, because my concept will limit my experience if it isn’t big enough.
I have updated my concept of God several times in my life, always with extraordinary results. God is always going to be bigger than my concept and yet it is still a powerful process to undertake.
I can sometimes get too intellectual about God, too conceptual and not intimate enough. I’m officially going for the intimacy.
I invite you to join me in courting the Divine (or the Beloved or dear Friend as Hafiz or Rumi would say).
All the Hemispheres
Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch outLike a welcomed season
Onto the meadows and shores and hills.Open up to the Roof.
Make a new water-mark on your excitement
And love.Like a blooming night flower,
Bestow your vital fragrance of happiness
And giving
Upon our intimate assembly.Change rooms in your mind for a day.
All the hemispheres in existence
Lie beside an equator
In your heart.Greet Yourself
In your thousand other forms
As you mount the hidden tide and travel
Back home.All the hemispheres in heaven
Are sitting around a fire
ChattingWhile stitching themselves together
Into the Great Circle inside of
You.— Hafiz

Seek and find a large grand all encompassing God/dess that is bigger than anything in your path; One who can truly give wise counsel and keep you aloft in a storm.
The upcoming new full moon in September will also be in Pisces which means it will be conjunct Chiron in Pisces. This is the “third time is a charm” last “Supermoon” of the year.
Chiron in Pisces conjunct Full moon in Pisces (September 8th in Hawaii, September 9th in the UK) is a perfect time to address these times and trials both personal and global with the support and backing of profound Universal Love, and also an energized Divine Feminine principle (strongly emphasized based on some of the other more esoteric astrology coming into play).
Returning to my earlier comments, here is a link to a really compelling article I ran across that talks about the concepts regarding the last time Chiron was in Pisces in the 60’s.

There are some great insights in the article and I especially liked some of the comments about the Beatles, near the end of the article.
And as always if you want healing or counseling support in your journey please give me a call or email me to set up an appointment, or if you prefer you can download and use my MP3’s on grounding, centering, and transformation to help you navigate the twists and turns of these days.
Be well.
Namaste’
Blessed be and Aloha,

As I breathe, I bring my attention to the One. The One Love, the One Mind, the One Presence; the overarching Goodness in which everything rests and from which everything springs. This One is ever Creative, ever Loving, ever moving joyously into abundant new forms. It is made manifest as all the planets and the galaxies; as the space between stars; the supernovas and the black holes; all the hidden worlds within our very cells.
This Divine Presence, is the ever expanding Universe, and more. It Is every supply and demand, It encompasses all dichotomies, It Is the answer to all seeking and to every request. It Is bigger and vaster than I can fully comprehend, and yet It Is also as sweet and familiar and close as my most treasured friend or my very breath.
Knowing this Truth, I can relax into the certainty that this same energy and power that moves the planets in their orbits, is everywhere present and therefore active in Its expression of Goodness and Abundance; as my work, and my life, and my health, and my home, and my finances, and my community. It knows and loves me constantly and continually; and I know right here and right now that this Love expresses as the highest octave of all I desire. I am this Love, I am this expression and so as I speak my word of power it ripples across the fabric of being and demonstrates instantly as my consciousness and in perfect timing in the body of my affairs.
I enjoy wonderful relationships and fabulous projects, I revel in the abundance and ease in my finances and in my world. Dollars flow to me and my community, opportunities abound, joy happens, love and life sparkle with renewed splendor. I truly know Life is Good. I am Good. All is well.
I find myself saying thank you, thank you, thank you, as a silent prayer throughout my day. I am so grateful for all this richness and beauty, for the deep knowing of the Truth of my Worth. I am so thankful for all the good I witness around me. For all my blessings. Thank you God! Thank you Universe!
I release all of these words and emotions and images into the law which only ever says yes, and therefore I rest in calm certainty that this returns to me clothed in manifestation as I know it is already done. And So It Is!
