Within the many traditions of chosen paths, ceremonial acts are experienced as a means of prayer and honour. It is here that I choose to acknowledge the magic of this spectacular sunset as I was blessed to witness from my sacred home. As the sun was setting west, the incredible glow captured my heart in a manner that truly made me stop in silence. I found myself celebrating the Sun's gift of life that it so effortlessly gives to all of us here on this sacred, holy ground. As I took the picture I offered my deepest gratitude and appreciation for all things that have blessed me thus far. I accepted with an open heart the blessings from this spectacular array of light, this source of sustenance; My prayer this day is for all to walk in the light of the sun and feel the rays of God penetrate our very existence as we celebrate the very blessed gift of this life always .... apachebluemoon

... a moment in presence ...

2008-06-15T12:22:00.015-05:00

>This posting is a response to having been asked to participate in the sharing of a wisdom-filled article for a new section called "Voices of Peace" that will be added to the Beloved World site. I am beyond the concept of being thrilled for the opportunity to submit spirit words that flow through this vessel of mine .. quite an honour I must say! So thank you to those whom are behind this magnificent creation in providing so many a space to be a voice ... Nikita you are so beautiful; my heart and soul will always be thankful for the day we were brought together ... sista! The first portion of this post is what was submitted to the article- I was unable to finish the complete writing as there was a word limit SO the rest is being posted here on this site for those of you whom are guided to read ..... thank you!

… a moment in PRESENCE …

Although this was not one of the topics to choose from, the words gently lingering within my being all point toward the idea and divine opportunity of embracing that of the present moment. As I pondered the various topics offered, I was so able to connect deeply with all but knew I would have to inevitably make a choice at some point in order to actually share whatever inherent wisdom that would find its way into this sacred expression … (not always an easy task for a Gemini like myself!) Needless to say, these thoughts are to serve as a premise for sharing what I am presently experiencing in all of my realms of existence. Before I continue though, I will first begin by offering a few attributes that I believe are essential to embracing that part of our journey in living and being an instrument of Peace, within the present moment. To be awake in and to the many moments of divine presence amongst us always, one must first desire to choose this way of sight. It is inherent within us all as children of the universe yet the use of one’s own free will is what solely supports and allows for this movement to be birthed. There are many factors that enter into this divine contract of presence that support one’s desire to actually choose such a path. Trust is an absolute as is the act of surrender in order to receive the truth of God’s presence in the “now”, within each of the sacred breaths we are gifted. Once these spiritual attributes are put into motion, one of the most important aspects then is simply that of gratitude. With gratitude in hand, one is moved very quickly to see all things in the light of love and acceptance. It is within this space of acceptance that one is then free to dance in the grace of divine presence!

I am going to briefly touch upon 5 of the 11 topics that were given to us to use as a focal point in preparing this article. The first being that of the "creation of the New Earth" ...

My heart and soul smiles when I embrace this idea simply because to me the new earth is an opportunity for the world to reign within a space of balance that has not yet been fully experienced and integrated. The universal shift that supports this movement is one that can be found where there is an abundance of "healthy male and female energies" working in alignment - love outweighing the illusions and trappings of fear. This directly relates to "a moment in presence" for it is completely the outpouring that comes when the natural tendancies of the heart are given the sacredness to simply BE in all of perfection.

In relation to the "Next Generation: the Children" ...
For this topic, I am going to trust the sharing of words that were brought through me many years ago that I had forgotten about completely until just the other day when I was divinely guided to find them ... I will leave it up to the readers to receive and discern ... I was truly unaware of the scraps of paper that had been buried away with this message, only to be found and reminded of this writing from 3 years ago -

"They are on the way as we speak, needed you to join us here in the light. Thank you for coming - welcome! You need not do anything. People are already talking about you, they will approach you and take you and physically meet all the needs in order for your love and peace to be shown and taught. Honestly, crossing the grid was the last of what was required from you. It has always been about us - the children - you know that, you always have; why do you think you have always remained true to the "child of the universe" ... where do you think that came from! (laughter) You are so beautiful in your innocence and naivety. Everything is already done - the preparation has been happening while you've been waking up ... and here you are, finally awake ... good morning on this beautiful Good Friday! No more crucifying, just flying. You will now always see us and hear us. My name is Charlotte - I'm the oldest of the bunch ( I know, your human mind is thinking "boy this is the making of a good book") Please do not trivialize with such small detail - think big, much bigger (more laughter). You mustn't of heard me clearly - "You" will not be doing any of the manifestations, for others have been sequestered for this ... We love music, lots of it! This is how we travel and connect with others ... the frequency thing - why do you think music and dance are what God's kingdom of celebration is all about ... By the way, my name Charlotte is really "share lots"- how's that for playing on word. There is so much more to share (get it) but for now, human duty is calling ... go feed the kids" ..... Since being reacquainted with that writing I now realize that Charlotte has always been with me in my presence, in the form of spiders and webs ... as I was beginning to share this section, she appeared on my computer screen. Amazing how long it takes our human mind to move into recognizing "divine presence"... hmmmm

I am going to combine "Physical Health, disease, wellness with that of family health and crisis situations" ...

To be able to honestly travel through moments of human challenge that arrive at every person's door at some point in this life, there MUST be a belief or better yet, a certainty that there is a presence alive and well within us all that sees only the perfection of all things, each and every moment. Our human mind cannot fathom or even comprehend such an essence yet this is the salvation our heart calls for when we are submerged within compromising situations of all sorts. I am presently surrounded with people that I love and truly care for that are being faced with life and death situations ... imbalance between higher truths of perfection and wholeness to that of human diagnosis of separation and death ... the balance of the pendulum lies within the ability of each spirit to decide what is truth for them ... will it be what can only be seen though human eye OR does one choose to trust and surrender and accept the presence of divinity that supports only, one's wellness? To live and be peace in situations like these does require the presence of divinity so that the soul can reach the plateau it so is seeking! Higher understanding of the sacred laws of spirit is what will usher in the sense of well being while amidst moments of crisis and falsity. This is the human challenge of these times .... our dis-ease is the imbalance of one's inability and fraility to embrace the deeper truth of who we really are ... beyond all time and space!

Finally I will address the idea of how being a peacemaker plays out in the family and work environments ...

There must first be a safe space cleared and free for the heart to be open to receive the energies of all those that one comes into contact with. It is in this space that the attributes of compassion, empathy and understanding truly stand out. The concept of being able to truly walk in the steps of another in order to fully embrace them completely and unconditionally within all circumstance IS the order at hand when one chooses the role of a peacemaker. To be unselfish in the serving really requires the inner work of maintaining a container of balance in all aspects. Your vessel must be emptied of ego tendancies in order for the serving to be filled with God's divine presence. This requires work on the human part as well as much sacrifice. The sacrifice though is only to let go of the illusions that have played a part in providing many different playgrounds for us to experience. All of this leads us directly to the very beginning of the article and the essential attributes that are necessary for this to be birthed outwardly. We first must live this on the inside, within every aspect of our being. It is then that we automatically resonate the purity of this essence for all to embrace and receive. Peace begins inside each of us when we give ourselves the premission to simply be all that and more ....

Namaste to all in love, light and infinite abundance .....

... gifted moments ...

2008-04-11T09:23:00.002-05:00

It is with complete gratitude that I offer this space today to honour the essence of spirit and the wondrous ways our lives can be gifted should we allow for the love of God to be embraced in all of our levels of existence. It is through the process of understanding and compassion in the moments we are called upon to display tolerance and acceptance to those sometimes extremely difficult experiences we find ourselves involved in; be it alone or with others we have chosen to love. There are many unexpected events and opportunities that greet us each moment of each breath that may or maynot be what we believe to be ideal circumstances. Sometimes these experiences may be short lived while others may require time; time to work themselves out so that peace and clarity can be the gift given. For those of us whom have the infinite patience to endure the trying moments while trusting the ushering in of our desires .... I applaud you today and everyday for the courage it takes to remain humbled and steady in the face of adversity. Seasons change as do the paths of the good red road we walk as we grow into the magnificence of wholeness of who we all truly are! "I am that, I am", IS, who we all are - We must always try to remember to celebrate our victories in movement, no matter how large or small they appear. This is OUR life, these are OUR treasured moments, this is WHY we are here and HOW we can change, once we accept the power that lies within us all as that of complete and supreme oneness to love! Thank you to every single being I have been blessed to have share in my journey thus far ... thank you for the many "teachable moments" you all have brought forth for me; thank you for the freedom in KNOWING that in order to have everything one must be willing to surrender everything ...
And so it is - let our hearts continue to guide us with infinite courage,divine grace,sacred wisdom to know that everything we desire is right here right now ... namaste and gods blessings to all - a very grateful apachebluemoon

... s stroke of insight ...

2008-03-19T09:32:00.005-05:00

Good day and blessings to all - I am full of infinite gratitude for this wondrous universe we call home. I am so consistently amazed with the constant gifts that are freely given to those whom choose to be awake enough to receive and embrace the everyday miracles. I am giving an enormous heartfelt thanks to my dear friend Shelley for thinking about me, as she always does, in forwarding on an email pertaining to one woman's personal experience that she courageously shares. I offer you the link to click on should your heart be interested in hearing and embracing an incredible story of rediscovery and truth! The person I speak of is Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, a neuroanatomist brain scientist. It is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another. Please take 18 minutes and watch the recorded clip (found at the side under Links) called Dr. Jill Taylor ..... in abundance of light, love and peace - namaste beautiful ones ... apachebluemoon

.. and with the roar of the engines we were off ...

2008-02-03T18:18:00.000-06:00

Hello to all ... I have not had the glorious opportunity to share thoughts of anykind on this blog for the last few days as I have been in the mode of travel and not able to connect to the internet. How interesting and profound a thought when one feels disconnected and unable to reach out to those they would in a usual manner. Time contraints, travel delays, harsh winter conditions ... so similar to the inner dragons one must face from time to time when there may be moments of depression, misunderstandings, or simple miscommunications that dance to a song out of ones' apparent control. This duality that supports the illusion of separation can certainly bring about the state of confusion and frustration. CONNECTION is the theme of this post, although until I began to type I had no previous thoughts as to the content of this message. Amazing how spirit always has truth that needs to be revealed. I type this as I sit on the balcony in this very beautiful spot in San Juan. It truly is a heavenly place, especially to those of us Canadians whom at this time of year are used to minus degree weather and not 80 - 90 full sunshine ... I feel quite blessed right now! The physical journey to travel here was full of minor interruptions ... unexpected delays and cancellations that postponed our initial arrival. Funny though, there was peace in the moments and trust as the plane was about to take off from the very snowy conditions that plagued Chicago with a storm. The trust factor was very much a choice in my being as I peered out the window to see some snow still on the wing, even after de-icing, just moments before take off. I looked at the facial expression of my husband to see that he too had noticed my findings. There was a minute when we silently contemplated whether or not we would say something to the flight attendants but trustingly decided not to ... for me this was a hugh thing as anyone who has had the delightful experience of being with me on a plane, knows my state of being while flying .... usually not one of complete total calm!! Of course, as I ponder this now, I realize that the fear was one of separation and disconnection and all of those crazy things that most of us human beings have felt at some point in this life. For this, I am grateful in the strength it took and continues to take for one to choose trust in situations that call for endurance, patience, knowing and certainty. I am grateful for the mantras that were available for me to silently repeat and for the constant angels that forever watch our flights, be it in the air or on this very sacred ground! My prayer tonight is for all whom have ever shared in feelings of disconnection or separation at some point along this journey. May the light of the holy spirit lift you always to know the truth that all things are always as they should be and to trust the unfoldments as they come within the wisdom and grace of your soul .... in abundant blessings and infinite love - apachebluemoon

... so fundamentally male ...

2008-01-28T20:16:00.000-06:00

Well ... to those of you whom are my male readers, this title should grab your attention! Relax, there are no judgements or sly comments coming - in fact, mere observation. Today was very interesting as it brought forth the opportunity for me to serve as a sounding board for a few special people. The main theme spoken and shared was that of the "male energies" and how the fears and control play a crucial part in so many of the relationship playgrounds we all find ourselves in, no matter the depth of evolution! Now this is not to say one has to be male in body parts in order to experience the male energy ... quite on the contrary, as each of our beautiful beings are made up of both feminine and masculine tendancies. What is being referred to here is the element of the ego when in the mode of control ... when the feminine qualities of love, understanding and compassion are being buried and hidden within the expression of doubts, ignorance, supreme assertiveness, judgements etc. We have all experienced this, some firsthand within self and/or on the receiving end of another being. Nonetheless, the manner in which it is delivered is not really the issue at hand. The truth being touched upon here is the damage to the spirit when one is involved in this form of energy exchange. It is said that, "there is nothing to control, it is only a state of being...." My heart tells me this is true and as a present, loving spiritual being here on this earth plane to experience the human experience - it does seem fitting that there would have to be moments where both of the energy components within us would need to find their own means of healthy expression. The key though, is to recognize and support the "healthy expression" of both our own masculine and feminine qualites all awhile honouring the balance that resides within that very sacred dynamic. My sweet precious friend whom ended our conversation with , "it is just so fundamentally male", is being honoured and showered with gratitude tonight for her profound awareness and insight. I acknowledge this gift of truth that those words have brought forth for all to contemplate; for truly when there IS a balance, there is nothing to control! My prayer for all in this moment, is for a space of silence in which to bath and cleanse our souls free; to embrace the responsibility that lays within the gifting of any wisdom which is always, "the ability to respond" ... may your beings be surrounded and engulfed within the light of the very balanced holy spirit as you lay your heads down to rest tonight ... god bless to all - apachebluemoon

you are greater than any of your actions

2008-01-26T11:44:00.000-06:00

... you can transcend all things that you have had done and participated in doing ...

HOW is this accomplished one might ask when so many of us live in a world that appears to be richly laden with memories of uncertainty and deep rooted misunderstandings of experiences gone bad! Are these just words and guidance of good intent or can there really be truth to this profound release of bondage to the heart?
As mystics and ancient wise ones have taught for eternity ... yes - all of this IS more than just a figment of a crazy person's imagination. Sacred Love begins inside ... self love is a process of rediscovering what has never been destroyed. It is the dance with ones' essence that has awaited and called us all, some more than others. A truer source of strength is generated within us all when there is a change of perception. This movement is the connection that guides and allows the gentle flow into ones' union with the true, divine spiritual source ... the void that contains the sum of all god, right here, right now in this very moment of present time and heavenly presence ....
The choice, as always, is ours! My prayer for the day is to recognize that beautiful opportunity of newness that calls your name; the one that invites you in to savour perhaps a different thought, or gesture that will invoke a deeper connection and meaning to who you truly are ... no need to fear the unknown, you are loved and the world awaits your gift, your smile, your serving!!! love and blessings ... apachebluemoon

...ahhhhh ...

2008-01-24T12:10:00.000-06:00

Hmmm.... so beautiful as they say when one can sit long enough to be still in the moment to view the silver lining in the clouds. I am grateful beyond any words in this precious moment for the consistent, ever-so-present gifting of the divine to each of us, as these wonderful beings and children of the universe!! Yesterday's call out has been answered although the manifestation has still yet to arrive for the physical eyes to view! The power within truth when shared with souls of the same frequency is absolute in its' creation. I gleefully await the comings of this sacred expression that is being laboured as I am guided to write this blog. Who would of thought just 7 months ago while joining together in sacred commune, most of us stangers in the physical, would be brought together now, in this moment, to begin a process of co-creation that will truly help to serve the world ... it is to be a "world peace organization" that is filled with infinite love, wisdom and all that is miraculously being called forward by the universe! THANK YOU - this is the gift of abundant gratitude I offer all today, this day, as we continue to birth our dreams ... namaste loved ones, namaste - apachebluemoon

.. and so it is ...

2008-01-23T11:09:00.000-06:00

One never knows what the day will bring or the feelings, thoughts, associations or perceptions that may find their way - I was awoken this morning to a deep sense of isolation; almost as if my spirit self had disappeared not even to be found underneath the covers. Now, of course, not fully understanding the depth of any of what was appearing SO REAL to me in those moments, I found myself immediately in a mode of infinite surrender ... calling on all those to be beside me - almost like a SOS call to the higher beings I know that are always here in my presence. I was not fearful - just completely "beaten down" if that can even come close to the moment. Thoughts of finding a cave, hanging my hat and simply just allowing all to flow through was more real to me than my usual "morning coffee fix". I found myself guided to the computer to check emails and within moments I was replying to a friend's message she had sent the night before. Before I knew it, my fingers were typing 10,000 words a minute (slight exageration) to see right beneath my glasses the words describing this incredible state of "whatever" it was I was being blessed to experience. I could go into detail with all of my glorious descriptive measures but will save that as the truer meaning to all of this soon was shown. I placed my response into the draft section so that I could go and have a shower. When I returned to the computer, a few things happened. First, I was led to checking another site to find this email awaiting my arrival:
"Because it is your responsibility to handle this level, no one can really tell you what to do, and you can't really blame anyone else for what happens to you. As choices present themselves to you, you might feel confused, doubtful, or bewildered. The future can become fraught with fears because you can't predict what's going to happen. That fear becomes a form of suffering. Again, the way to get out of that fear is to bring yourself present, in the now, and live in each moment." (John-Roger ... "Loving Each Day")
The second gift was to receive a beautiful call out from one of the seminarians that I was honoured to share space with at the retreat in June - her comment was "that it has been 7 months since the retreat and there is a sense of drifting ..."Certainly no mistakes as the information continued to flood in. By now, I am fully awake and present that my morning mood was more than just a mood - I was being told something although until I opened yet another email I was still not quite sure. The final gift was that, another message sent to me while I had been typing my response to my friend. I had no idea this exchange of truth was happening at the same time. In her message, she proceeds to share all of what I was previously feeling ... she described in detail everything that I had typed as if we had seen each others' thoughts .... there truly are no words except for the acknowledgement of divine workings. Once you can slow your pace and allow whatever thoughts to run their course, all solutions and answers will find you.... I am amazed at the state of being I am one with in this moment .... a completely different experience than just moments ago! I do believe that we have the power in our choices to be that peace, be that love, be all of whom we have come here to be .... it truly is not in the doing but rather in the acceptance and glory of all things! The conclusion to this early morning call with spirit physically left me to see on my screen a recent interview with Osama Bin Laden's son .... and his quest for world peace!!! Within the very heart and essence of us all IS the same gift of truth .... the oneness we all share even if the individual struggles seem to separate us from this deeper sacred reality.... On this day, my prayer for all, is to go forward in the knowing and understanding that peace does prevail - always ... it just might take some time and courage to see it! Love and light, in oneness with all ...apachebluemoon

foundations

2008-01-20T14:38:00.000-06:00

What an interesting time I find self and soul in these last few weeks. The birthing of a new year, the dawning of innocence and flow of long awaited and embraced wisdom sits before us all should we be willing to say "yes" to all of what it entails. Does the commitment of today's yes align itself with yesterday's knowings or have those too been given an opportunity to expand as does the universe right before our very own eyes! Do we remain placed in the so very comfortable roles we have become familar with or do we dare step up and out into the vulnerability that accompanies the journey of the heart back into sacred soul? Questions appear each and every moment for one to decide the next move ... confusions as the matrix or puzzle pieces of our lives are rearranged and placed in their sanctioned space of perfection. Where does one go when darkness shows it's magical calling; how does one face the unknowingness of what anything truly means? I have challenged my being these last few weeks in the hope of having all be revealed as I continue on to surrender to what has become the only reality I can ever know for my self and being from this point forward. It has taken me back into my foundation ... a gift to see all of who I am and not through the eyes of others but rather through that of my creator. My essence that sometimes appears fragmented and torn as others' seek solace within their own understandings, through me, of what life and purpose mean to them while in their own travels. Divine appointments with the mother and father of me, this being I have so come to know, once again. I have touched the love that has never left me or can never be destroyed; no matter who chooses to see this and accept this. The realness of spending 7 hours alone in the blessed sanctuary in direct commune with those ascended masters who are with me every moment, every breath ... my life can never or will ever be the same again. To be allowed this profound experiece of dancing with the angels, singing in complete harmony, surrendering to the calibration of miracles .... how can I ever give into the darkness after having felt the presence of all? Today I give the completeness of my heart - I honour and acknowledge the infinite gratitude I have for all beings, all life, all love! I have been shown the truth that I had so long ago asked to be shown but so afraid to embrace. The power of the feminine, the beauty of divine sacred union - all of this and so much more. I am home .. in the arms of those who will guide me to reach beyond and offer the truth to all whom desire to be reached and shown the love of God that dwells within the gift of divine creation. I wipe the tears from falling as I write this from the very depth of my heart, my oneness with the essence of all life. Remember the truth, embrace the foundation, uphold the spirit that makes this day worth living .... in love and light with peace as your guide ... apachebluemoon

2007-11-30T07:42:00.000-06:00

It does happen to all at some point in our lives .. we are prepared and given the choice for a new freedom of flight! As this year finds its way to completion, I ponder the wonders of the past almost 12 months and the many numerous changes that have been brought forth for me on a deep personal level - all for the purpose of higher growth and understanding. The mesmerizing awe of seeing this beautiful creature take flight right before my eyes after being summoned through prayer not even 3 hours prior; and then to witness his magnificence as he showed himself to me in complete confidence that we both would know the deeper meaning of his presence - this left me truly in complete gratitude and reverence for all life and things gifted and brought forth in the highest state of love and infinite grace!
Although change can bring with it much uncertainty at times, the freedom that reigns when one can simply let go, trust and allow for the movement and spreading of life's wings is beyond anything that the heart can physically describe - it truly is an experience of the sacred divine in its finest moments. "We need only open our eyes to let the fears away ...." - " to see all that stands before us, waiting for us to choose ..."
This blogsite has gifted me with the incredible opportunity to reach those whom are being guided to discover, nurture and embrace their own path of flight. For this I am and will be forever grateful to the powers that be that make all of these gifts possible. As the new year is soon to find its way, so too will a newness of expression be birthed for me. There will soon be the unveiling of the long awaited website that will support the continued growth and expansive creativity needing to be shared ... "as we grow so does our inner most desires for a much broader scope and landscape!"
This year has been one out of a fairytale book for me in terms of how the power of prayer, enlightened vision and true heart manifestation all come together in the most exquisite form of one's life dance in complete peace and harmony ... there is still more to come, I know, before this year can be released - still a few moments of final preparation, gratitude, gifting and receiving before the newness can dawn! It will be next weekend that I will be "fully walking into who I truly am" - when the initiation into one's own divine self-mastery will be fully recognized and bestowed in heart ... 41 years to physically see what was chosen and placed into the arms of the universe at the age of 14 - there are no mistakes!!! I will hold all whom have blessed me in my journey thus far and offer my deepest gratitude and love for the infinite ways you have all helped me reach this point of higher sight ...my heart sings for all - thank you! I have been held and guided by the most loving of all beings ... the path that lays before me, the medicines that have been presented - all as movement into the honouring of the deepest recognition of truth in remembering that of our divine essence ... sacred love! My heart has become one through the embrace of your light and love "white buffalo calf woman" ... there are no words other than I AM!!
My truest wish and prayer for all on this glorious day, and always, is to have the light of spirit lift us all into higher flight .. towards the dreams the heart has savoured and protected for each one of us. For our entire beings to know the truth that is alive and waiting to be freed within our soul. It is time now to reflect and allow for all of what each of us are worthy of receiving and experiencing - may we each unfold our wings, find the courage to breathe and prepare ourselves for the destined flight ahead as we soar into the reality of our very own heart's desires .... Namaste wondrous beings - in light, love and sacred flight ... apachebluemoon

SACRED INTIMACY - written June 16, 2007
Love has so many different faces
Love can lead us to such wondrous places
And then there you stood, and my heart opened wide
to the memory I've had more than a thousand times
I never knew it to be
Until I looked in your eyes
Then a calm came over me
As I truly realized ...

chorus - You have been the one I have been searching for
You are the one that's brought me to this door
Forever in my dreams, never understanding why
Until the moment I seize, this depth of love to be

None of this makes sense
Yet this is all I've come to know
So many worlds apart
Yet I can feel you deep in soul
With every blessed breath I take
I would love to hear your call
I will patiently await
And try not to fall ...

chorus -

There's no need for expectations
For I know the truth at hand
God has a way of orchestrating
Heaven's magic plan
So please come take my hand
Let us walk the next while
There is work for us to do
To let the light of love shine through

chorus - Baby, you are the one I have been searching for
Yes, you are the one this heart is longing for
Forever in my dreams, now fully realized
Yes you and I are one, divine sacred intimacy!

My beautiful ones ... I am taking this as a sacred opportunity in sharing with the world the utmost gratitude for spirit and its most divine instruments ....

Amazing how we are always given all of what we require in the moments of our journey. I stand here embraced in the light of magnificence that was and still does, completely surround me; so much ease and strength that was so easily offered. Thank you my friends for the love and support that you so beautifully shared with each and everyone of us .... you may be known by name but in my heart will always be remembered for so much more - thank you for lifting me up when I needed to be and holding me when I could have fallen - love you so ... apachebluemoon

The reason for this particular picture is simple ... it was the physical support mechanism that allowed for the full, complete remembrance of all things deeply rooted in truth within my own "sacred house" . Little did I realize at the time just what would be brought forth by entering into the door, hours before becoming ordained. I was gifted with an experience that has still to become fully integrated and understood. What I can share is that something DID happen and I will never again be the same! I entered the room, fully present, moments after watching the beautiful sun rise. As I closed and locked the door behind me, I was quickly overcome with a sense of peace and utmost gratitude. The feelings then brought me to the most heart felt release for all things ... each and every person and event that has ever happened to support the moment at hand. After crying for 15 minutes ... I then opened my mouth to hear a voice come from deep within that had never been heard before, or since. The closest thing that I can physically compare it to would be the sound of "angelic chanting" .... I was moved beyond words of any kind, and still am. The sound, the volume, the octave range that was being activated was something from another realm ... the realm so many of us have come to know and call home!
After I was able to find some form of composure, I once again gave thanks and left the altar. I stepped outside and spoke to the universal gods sharing my thanks for all of what has been so gloriously given, and then acknowledged that I have been blessed with everything I have ever asked for .... it was then, that my voice was lost! It is just finding its way back but certainly quite different than ever before. I honestly do not completely know yet the depth of what this all means but know that it is something bigger than most of us could ever intellectually understand! It is within that knowing, that I fully accept and honour all as being the next unfoldment to this most spectacular truth we have all come to know .... LOVE!! So, in sharing, I would like to enclose a excerpt from the "LOVING EACH DAY" site that speaks on this phenomenon known as love .......
"The purest love is always unconditional. There are no strings, no conditions, and no expectations of any return. The giving is pure. If you give 100 percent, you can bring healing to anything"... John-Roger with Paul Kaye
My precious friends - may the light and love of your soul find its way to reach all those whom are blessed with your presence, today and always .... apachebluemoon

... thank you ....

Amazing how life prepares us for the unseen ... just as I was convinced I was participating in a completion of such - here I am beginning anew!! This post goes out from my heart to all those beautiful ones whom I have had the blessed experience of re-acquainting with!! Thank you to all of you for making my week at Sunrise Ranch, one I will never forget. The depth of feeling that I have for each one of you is unbelievable yet so real ... coming home is a wonderful gift and all of you made that soooo easy for me! I love you all and am extremely excited for the rest of our days together ... Namaste my beautiful ones and thank you so much for being the gift that will never stop giving ......

As quoted in the Bhagavad Gita (6:8-9) ..."They are completely fulfilled by spiritual wisdom and Self-realization - Having conquered their senses, they have climbed to the summit of human consciousness. To such people a clod of dirt, a stone and gold are the same. They are equally disposed to family, enemies, and friends, to those who support them and those who are hostile, to the good and to the evil alike. Because they are impartial, they rise to great heights ..."

...buddha laugh ...

2006-04-25T08:37:00.000-05:00

The Buddha believes - "when you realize how perfect everything is you will tilt your head back and laugh at the sky ..."
"We don't laugh because we're happy, we're happy because we laugh." - as written by William James

For many reasons, I will always remain grateful for having met a beautiful person and teacher named Jackie. It was back in the days that I attended her Pranic Healing teachings that I was first introduced to the "Buddha laugh" and its meaningful purpose regarding the world of energy. To those of you whom are not familar with this concept, let me assure you it is definitely worth the effort in trying. What is required is simply this: stand with your head tilted back, tongue out in front of you, hands by your side or whatever is comfortable. Once this is done and you are in position, you simply begin to laugh out loud .... right from the very core of your belly! Sound crazy, absolutely but well worth the experience. Although in the beginning you may be forcing the laugh, you will soon be laughing on your own - it does not take much time for this occurance. The benefit of this exercise is plentiful. Not only does it aid in the release of pent up energy - it fills the being with an overwhelming sense of joy and peace! Something to try with a few friends or better yet a room full of strangers. It is almost certain that once the buddha leaves his mark - ease and contentment will follow ..... hears to wishing all of you a day filled with laughter - apachebluemoon

.. success is much closer than you think ...

2006-04-23T09:40:00.000-05:00

Today's post is a writing from the "Daily Guru" site regarding the idea of success and where to find it. People seem to have many different ideas as to the meaning of success as it relates to them personally. To some, success is measured by the amount one has financially attained while others equate success with the completion of tasks and or goals.
My personal thought regarding success comes more from an inner feeling versus outside criteria. This is how I've been guided from spirit to know just where to place my energies and in what projects are worthy of my serving in that given moment. This requires an abundance of trust in higher wisdom as there are times along this path that one may not truly see the higher purpose or measure of success. The whole idea of surrendering to this knowing has always provided me with the personal attainment of what my heart equates to success. In order to function in this capacity it is necessary to have "full belief" in the universal laws and "self"! When I find myself in a state of awe and peace, I am certain of the success that is;
... may each of you connect with the inner courage it takes to realize the depth of your success just waiting to be transformed... apachebluemoon
"Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity - you must act on them though to be successful. Distant pastures always appear greener than those at close hand but real opportunities are right where you are. You must simply take advantage of them when they appear. You can start where you are at any time. Success is all around you. It is not in your environment, its not in luck or chance or in the help of others. Success is in yourself alone. You don't need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What you need is to use what you have. Learn to seize good fortune, for it is always around you. You must go to success, it doesn't come to you. Open your own doors to opportunity". - Max Steingart

.. Angels in flight ...

2006-04-22T13:56:00.000-05:00

I have been blessed to have my eyes, ears and heart open to the infinite world of possibility. During this time I have, without any doubt, seen, felt, heard and embraced the presence of those some like to believe are angels. Today I've been guided to share with you just one of the many writings found in my- yet to be published- book that first came through me in October of 1999. My hope is that this may serve as a means of touching and opening the hearts of those whom have been somewhat asleep all awhile the angels have been dancing ...
"Have you ever wondered how you were going to make it through the next moments? Perhaps when it seemed like there was no visible light, not even a single glimpse of a flicker in sight; and then all of a sudden something happens, someone new appears in your life only to find your time of darkness slowly dissipating. A coincidence or divine intervention, one can never quite know for sure! The timing of these arrivals, insights and such are so perfect in form that the results that follow leave us in awe. New directions, new thought processes, inner guidance and wisdom are quite often touched upon during these passages and meetings. Some would believe them to be merely episodes in daily life - things that just occur as our journey unfolds .. cause and effect, no hidden meaning to these events as they happen. Others believe them to be signs of the divine, guidance of a much stronger source ... answers from a higher place from OUR source of light and strength - our own GOD! In any case, many of our prayers are addressed within these happenings if one allows the heart to remain open to receive.
How crazy of us to believe that just perhaps there is more to this life than just the physicality that surrounds each of us as mere mortals occupyng this place we know as Earth. We are taught to believe as infants that "what you see is real" and what you cannot see is just myth or fantasy or make believe thoughts to help us through our many trying times. Those of us whom share this perception or thought are convinced that in fact, we are human beings first and foremost and as we mature and grow, we gather knowledge along the way and may attempt to look into the idea of spirituality, only if the need in one's life presents itself. Then there is the other spectrum with those whom have reversed the thought process and truly believe that we are spiritual beings first and foremost, living in a human body form. Life itself is our university or playground to where we are placed to learn many of its' life lessons, to gain the wisdom that comes with the courage of surrender - thus leading to the knowing that life here on this plane of existence is short. Human life existence teaches us the emotional factor. Feelings of love, sadness, anger, envy ... all major players in the disruption of one's physical well being. The goal or key to happiness then would be to learn how to effectively deal with these issues in a healthy manner as we co-exist with ourselves and those around us. Are these learning curves we find ourselves in hit and miss or do we have help along the way through unseen and unmet forces? This question is one that only the individual can answer. It will be this answer that will determine one's mindset as to the belief in whether there are signs posted along the way, openness to acknowledge that just maybe these happenings that we mysteriously experience could be, and are, the work of our angels in flight!" - apachebluemoon
As quoted by Gary Kinnaman ..." Have you ever considered that just perhaps, the reason you have gotten as far as you have is because of invisible work of anonymous angels? Good strangers in the night?"

...impermanence...

2006-04-20T20:02:00.000-05:00

I have just had the glorious experience of recognizing the suffering that comes within from believing in "permanence" instead of welcoming in the idea of impermanence. The cravings of the lower mind take over all sense of inner knowing in heart and can leave one with a feeling of overwhelming displacement and angst that is so consuming. The Buddhist believe that "craving" is the cause of suffering because of the constant desire of what is ultimately passing and impermanent.
This idea of impermanence is central to the Buddhist teaching. It is believed that "impermanence" brings hope, it embodies the spirit of freedom, denies the control of Gods so that one can become their own master. It also shatters the concept of predestination meaning we can actually have a hand in our own future. A life of misfortune can then actually turn into one of prosperity. It carries with it the freedom to change our lives should there be dissatisfaction of any kind.
According to Thich Nhat Hanh ... "Without impermanence, life is impossible. How can suffering be transformed without impermanence as it is needed for social justice and hope. With impermanence, every door is open for change..."
To lend understanding to this concept, I have included an example from the writings of Rigpa ....
To contemplate impermanence on its own is not enough: You have to work with it in your life. Pick up a coin and imagine that it represents the object of which you are grasping. Hold it tightly clutched in your fist and extend your arm with the palm of your hand facing the ground. Now if you let go or relax your grip, you will lose what you are clinging to ... that is why we hold onto things! The other possibility that exists is this: You can let go and yet keep hold of it with your arm still outstretched, turn your hand over so that it faces the sky. Release your hand and the coin still rests on your open palm. You let go and the coin is still yours even with all the space around it. So .... there is a way in which we can accept impermanence and still relish life, at one and the same time, without the need to grasp or hold it!
What I will share with all of you through my personal experience is that once I fully engaged in this method and completely integrated the concept as it pertained to my personal holdings, I did embrace a great sense of freedom and understanding. The agony that was once so chaotic and binding soon dissipated - it was replaced with a greater sense of personal power with respect to not having to believe I was without what I was convincing my head I needed in order to feel peace. The idea of misfortune was then turned into opportunity; this freedom did open the door to greater hope of good things to come ... my desire is, for all whom are seeking another way, to ponder this and truly allow for the integration of this principle. There is a strong certainty that is being offered that the understanding and movement into enlightened states of knowing will come to those whom have the courage to honour the process ... apachebluemoon

"Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence! The bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendor of achievement; For yesterday is but a dream, and tomorrow is only a vision; but today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope ...."
How we can find ourselves in such illusions of despair - the pains of loss of all sorts and the many levels of havoc the heart gets entangled in. May we all find the strength within to capture the essense of what life really means to our hearts so that peace can lead the way into joy and contentment. Let us allow the resonation of higher truths to guide us with full gratitude for the beauty that forever surrounds us .... blessings always, apachebluemoon

" - we so often make the fatal mistake of identifying with our confusion, then using it to judge and condemn ourselves which feeds the lack of self-love so many of us suffer from today... - how encouraging it can be to accept that from one's perspective we all have hugh problems, which we bring to the spiritual path and which indeed may have led us to the teachings ... - and yet to know from another point of view that ultimately our problems are not so real or so solid or so insurmountable as we have told ourselves ..." - Rigpa glimpse
With this in our mind for comtemplation, one may also include that "the eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend" - Henri Bergson and that in order to bring about change, " you must be the change you wish to see in the world." - Gandhi
One cannot look to the outside to attain or experience the true meaning of love. The true gift of spirit lies within waiting to be expressed. As written in Tirukkural 22: 213-214 .... " Of all duties, benevolence is unequaled in this world and even in celestial realms. He who understands his duty to society truly lives. All others shall be counted among the dead ..."
May we open our hearts to the true nature of our spirit in order to receive all of the riches that have been bestowed graciously. Must we always remember that the path of transformation with its moments of pain and confusions are opportunities for movement into the higher realms of soul understanding... finally, to know that with every cross that has been beared, there is an inherent responsibility (without infliction) to share the gifts of wisdom, once revealed, to those whom seek the greater truths of the universe .... with love and blessings - apachebluemoon

... words of hope ...

2006-04-05T22:01:00.000-05:00

A big thank you is being sent from my heart to a very dear friend whom in her kindness was guided to forward this quote onto me this morning. I feel compelled to share this as a means of perhaps offering support to those who are within personal moments of challenge ....
"When we come to the edge of the light we know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, of this we can be sure ... either God will provide something solid to stand on or ... we will be taught to fly." author unknown
I am truly grateful for these words as there is a deep knowing that many people at this time are facing many difficult decisions that will in fact "change" the course of their direction! Hope is a required element that will allow for the evolution into certainty. Peace and serenity comes from the knowing that "we are and will always be" taken care of. Once this idea can integrate into our reality, the difficulties and obstacles that we face can then be looked upon as opportunities for growth -
Hope provides for a space of strength to enter in; strength provides for a space of choice; within the strength to choose the act of surrender, movement to a higher place of peace will pervail .... may these words be my gift of hope to all - apachebluemoon

I have been reflecting on the entire premise behind this idea of distance healing and how this mode of expression can serve the purpose it has been intended for. The birthing of the "Distance Healing" website is simply another means of creating awareness. It is my deepest hope and desire that this instrument of creative expression will in fact resonate and touch the hearts of many, and, provide a platform for each of you to connect with your own unique, divine heart song. This sharing is by no means an attempt to preach a certain point of view. These writings are merely an opportunity for the heart to be tugged. The expressions found within the readings come primarily through the spirit of "apachebluemoon", which is just one of the sacred medicines I have been blessed to communicate through.
It can be in the space of distance that the heart of one may be reached and touched enough to open up to "see" and "know "a deeper meaning and understanding of circumstance. It is within this sanctuary that one's true purpose here on this plane of existence can be found ...
I offer my heart-felt thanks and gratitude for the infinite love, support and guidance I have been blessed to receive from so many in my almost 40 years of life. It certainly is the catalyst behind this website - for I ask, without all of you, where would the true purpose of this serving be found .... may the abundance of love, light and peace always be within your hearts .... namaste!

.. "the last testament of a beautiful soul" ...

2006-03-18T09:12:00.000-06:00

This writing is a heartfelt tribute to the spirit of a beautiful soul; one who was able to touch the hearts of many whom never had the blessed opportunity of sitting in her physical presence. I being just one of those people who has been forever moved through the shared experiences of such a young girl. It was through the sharing of her writings that Kelsey King's faith in God and true appreciation for the deeper meaning of life will forever be etched in my mind and soul. I give thanks to Gordon Sinclair, the Free Press and to the family of Kelsey for opening the door for all of us to see the beauty that will always be in the rememberance of this life ...Kelsey you have gifted so many through the sharings of your heart. Amongst the pain being felt by those of your closest family and friends in this short time since your passing, there is a sense of comfort that will remain because of the truth, courage and faith that you have given to all.
As written by Kelsey King - "a child's first word is so wonderful to their parents ... I think a person's last words will define them, and what they were in life." Kelsey's last ever written words on March 4, 2006 were as follows:
"Watches, clocks, numbers. The ticking ... suffocates me ... I try to think of the Lord's plans for me as I listen coldly to the hands or the ticking of the clock. It's like breaths of fresh air are dwindling, but I have to understand heaven's fresh air is waiting for me, too."

"May the angel's wings of love lift you to your sacred place. May you find the rest needed to continue on with your beautiful journey. May you see and know the difference you made to so many in your time here on Earth. May you feel the love that will always remain eternal in the hearts of all whom were blessed to know the angel within you .... soar high my friend - forever in heart, apachebluemoon

you is infinite happiness for a life that is meant to
be lived to the fullest. There is no loss, but rather
a deeper closeness and connection of "one" that is

"The balanced energy is the birthing energy. I used to say that the birthing energy was all feminine - - its not. You have to push and you have to be.

As stated in Rigpa's glimpse of the day: "We have been taught to spend our lives chasing our thoughts and projections. Even when the "mind" is talked about, it is only thoughts and emotions that are referred to; and when our researchers study what they imagine to be the mind, they look only at its projections. No one ever really looks into the mind itself, the ground from which all these expressions arise; and this has tragic consequences ..."

"Angels, like parables and fine poetry, speak in many layers of meaning and mystery, trying to express the inexpressible. If we ignore them, our lives are the poorer" - Archbishop Desmond Tutu

This quote supports the many meetings we as human beings have on this earth plane. Be it sitting beside a stranger on a shared flight from the Bahamas ( that's for you Debbie) or whatever simple encounter we may experience, the choice to ignore the opportunity that is presented to us in that very sacred moment of connection is the loss. To miss out on the chance to share a meaningful connection and receive whatever soul food is being served in that space is the result when one remains closed off to the divine interactions that are around each of us all the time. There are no coinkidinks ... by this I believe that every moment and every encounter holds within it great meaning and guidance for our chosen path. I have found that we are surrounded by earthly angels that show up just in the right moment for us to receive .... only if our heart is open to this divine method of communication. May your day be filled with the magic and abundance of all things good; may your heart be open to be touched through the angelic message of love ... apachebluemoon

There is an old yiddish proverb that says: "If I try to be like him, who will be like me?" Within this crazy busy daily life we are all apart of, it tends to be quite simple for our true essense to be lost. I do believe that this is just one of many by-products that are the result of one's reliance on outside sources to define the inner core of whom we all are. The ability to believe in self is truly the journey at hand that requires a discipline like no other. It is a choice to "see" beyond what most of us are able to view while trapped within the illusions of grandeur. The inner peace that so many are in search of will be felt and graciously bestowed once the denial process is halted; for it is only then that the depth of our light and beauty can shine in the manner it was meant to! May the spirit that lives within us all be united with the physical road that will allow for the nurturing and sharing of our own uniqueness - for it is within this harmonious connection that our spiritual authenticity will be birthed ... in light and love always, apachebluemoon

"The most important thing is not to get trapped in what is seen everywhere in the West, a "shopping mentality": shopping around from master to master, teaching to teaching, without any continuity or real, sustained dedication to any one discipline. Nearly all the great spiritual masters of all traditions agree that the essential thing is to master one way, one path to truth, by following one tradtion with all of your heart and mind to the end of the spiritual journey, while, of course, remaining open and respectful towards the insights of all others. In Tibet, it is said "knowing one, you accomplish all." The modern faddish idea that we can always keep all our options open and so never need commit ourselves to anything is one of the greatest and most dangerous delusions of our culture, and one of ego's most effective ways of sabotaging our spiritual search" - Rigpa

While writing an earlier post, the song that came over the radio waves was one that was in complete alignment with my inner thoughts as to what I wanted to share as a daily heart stirring. The song "Love Lift Me" by artist Amanda Marshall has a very powerful lyric that tends to make my heart want to sing along. Music has a way of reaching the soul in a healing capacity like no other ... take a moment and allow the heart to connect with whatever song is calling out to you!

LOVE LIFT ME - Amanda Marshall
" ... but its so simple sometimes, just to lay your heart open wide/If you
want to get to heaven, then you gotta take the ride/
Love lift me, wherever you are//Convince me, I'm safe in your arms/
Love lift me/Make sense of it all/Teach me to fly/And don't let me fall
... Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light ...
Love lift me/Wherever you are/Convince me I'm safe in your arms/
I'm waiting on you/Cause nothing can lift me the way that you do/
Only love can take me higher ... I wanna fly!!"

May your days be filled with laughter and song ... apachebluemoon

A question to ponder ... how many of us know of things that we would like to do but never give ourselves the permission to try because we feel we are absent of what we believe is necessary in order to succeed? I know I have been incredibly guilty of this on far too many occasions to account for. It wasn't until I realized amongst my own self-imposed sabbotage that I, little old me, was the only one and will be the only one ever "responsible" for my desired outcomes. I needed to break through the "fear" of all the roadblocks that I was allowing to steer the vehicle. Whether they were the basis of anothers' thoughts or the premise created by society that dictates who is capable of success; once I realized that the fears were only "false expectations appearing real", I was only then able to remove the veil of scarcity that I had become so accustomed to believing in. It wasn't until then, that I truly was certain that success is simply the courage it takes for one to follow the heart's desire, the strength to stay true to the passion within, the grace to allow for the natural unfoldments and the gratitude to know that the power to succeed will always be found within one's ability to BELIEVE!

True ecstasy is passive: it overwhelms the heart without
any intention or deliberate effort. It is the fruit of spiritual
devotion and worship ... Qushayri, "Risalah"

May your days be filled with an abundance of ecstasy, the joy of laughter and a lifetime of
love, light and peace - always .... apachebluemoon

Self -Love ... the essence of transformation

2006-03-14T09:16:00.000-06:00

The importance of self-love is immeasureable. The healing of one's spirit, truly, is dependant upon one's ability to first embrace the gift of love that resides within us all and then engage in the natural process of giving. Love is "for giving" .... it is within this process that the heart will receive all of what is needed. To love the self appears to be a simple concept. I do believe that people have the present awareness to understand that most inner challenges can be resolved through the process of self-love. The obstacle however that continually surfaces in this growth process is the simple fact that although most people can recite the idea of self-love, there appears to be no clear means of attaining this inherent gift that resides within all hearts. Yes, there are thousands of self-help books and seminars readily available to those whom are seeking guidance on this topic. The industry supporting this form of expression is truly on the rise as so many of us are needing methods to deal with the dis-eases of today's society. The increasing need to feel and know inner peace is something that is becoming an important staple in our existence. There has been a definite shift within the universe that is now in support of the feminine principles. We are seeing more and more celebrities utilize their own platforms in an attempt to create a humanitarian awareness to suppport a movement into that of compassion and uncondional love. This truly is the beginning of more to come ... as spoken in the words of John Lennon ... "imagine all the people, living life in peace" ....
I came across a quote written by Share Gardner that I would like to share regarding ones' interpretation of self-love. It is as follows: Self-love is the single most important healing concept you can master in your journey toward enlightenment. No medicine is as effective, no energy as powerful, no process as simple. No matter who you are or what your life story is all about, learning to think of yourself with warmth, generosity and nurturance will add a hugh measure of abundance and joy to your life and to the lives of those you touch -
... may your journey begin ....
