Fireside Chat with Tobias & St Germain

The energies flooding the planet continue to be potent, and a season of change is definitely upon us. Yesterday was the new moon, always a time for new beginnings in the rhythmic cycle of living on beautiful Mother Gaia.

I was born under a Witch’s Moon, also called a Wishing Moon, which encompasses the 3 day period before the new moon, which is always the time for planting the seeds of the new. This moon is also known as the Balsamic Moon. I love following the cycles of the seasons and knowing where we are collectively in the ‘turning of the wheel’ of our calendar year. ‘My’ moon is known for its connection with deep feelings, and I have always been in tune with this and always been a deep feeling person.

This past lunar cycle from new moon to new moon has been one overflowing with feelings for me, as evidenced by my last blog post and what I shared in it. With the advent of the new moon, I’ve felt a shift, and can tangibly feel myself moving into a new cycle.

I did an internet search of moon phases and loved what I found here about the Balsamic Moon. I was impressed by how closely what is said has mirrored my own experience.

Ending the Cultivating Phase of the Lunar Cycle.

Coalescence into Essence

The latter part of this phase results in coalescing all that was experienced in the cycle into its essence, into its seed form. It is a reflective time looking back over the past, of extracting and assembling what was learned from the cycle, claiming its true wealth and wisdom. This is a great time to explore what we learned in the context of the new moon theme. It is this seed essence which is of true value to our greater growth. This seed will sprout in the next Lunar Cycle of growth and unfoldment, and morph into the next Lunar Cycle's theme.

Beginning the Seeding Phase of the Lunar Cycle.

Focus to the Future

Our focus now turns toward the future. We now turn away from looking back over the past cycle completely and begin to look ahead, preparing for and anticipating the future cycle to come, to a new step to emerge in our Lunar Path of Fulfillment. The seed is planted. It is time to let it germinate. Completing any loose ends is appropriate, to move into a new position for the next cycle to unfold. Here we make the field of all possibilities smooth and clear, ready for the new sprouting to occur.

It is a time of readiness for new sprouting for so many of us!

In that vein, Tobias and St Germain stopped by for a visit and conversation earlier this week, during the Witch‘s Moon time. These two friends were the first to speak through my voice when I initially opened up to being able to feel and translate energies. When that happened, they frequently came in for fun conversations with my partner Ziggy and me, and as these often occurred next to a roaring fire in the living room’s fireplace, they began being called ‘Fireside Chats.’ We haven’t had a Fireside Chat in a very long time, so it was a wonderful gift to have one take place this week.

Since having Brigid and Merlin’s Equinox message not record, and therefore not being able to transcribe it word for word to share, I found that I personally enjoy sharing the message that these nonphysical friends bring through, and have decided to continue with this venue.

As I’ve shared previously on my blog, I have felt some challenge in deciding what is the best way to share these conversations that flow through me so that the greatest number of people can receive something of value from them. I have debated with myself as to whether ‘depersonalizing’ them into more generic form is the best way to offer them. There are so many wonderful channelers out there now who offer such beautiful…and non-personal…messages to the masses. I wondered if I should attempt to put my own out there in a similar fashion. In the end what I’ve realized is that I am not a channeler for the masses. I am simply a person going through the same ‘ascension journey’ that so many others are, too. As I’ve expanded my own consciousness in the process, I have opened to abilities that go beyond the typical 3D ones of my earlier experience of living. First and foremost, having conversations with ‘family and friends’ who are not inhabiting physical bodies in the now is something that has become a part of my own personal everyday reality. I no longer only live in the 3rd dimension myself and my experience is a continual exploration of what expanding beyond the boundaries of this 3rd dimensional realm looks like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like, and smells like. Sliding through the dimensions has become my favourite dance, and one that is definitely not an exclusive one. Everyone is welcome at this particular dance party, and the more the merrier. For anyone who wants to join in but doesn’t yet know the dance steps…well, I offer these personal experiences and conversations as a way to pull you out onto the dance floor anyway just for the fun of it! Give the steps a whirl and see if you like it!

After this conversation, as I looked out the sliding glass doors of the living room here in Alberta, I was mesmerized to see the sunlight glinting off the still very present snow cover here not just in the usual manner of shimmering diamond sparkles that is always so beautiful. The sparkles were an incredible rainbow of different colours, the likes of which I have never seen before. It was pure magic. I called Ziggy over to the spot I was looking out at this from, and he saw those rainbow colours too. We wondered if this is something new on the planet in this now time…or if we simply have new eyes that are able to see multiple dimensions at once?


Fireside Chat with Tobias and St Germain March 25, 2009

Tobias entered and joked with Ziggy a bit about the last session not recording, asking if Ziggy was sure that everything was operational for this session. Ziggy answered in the affirmative and said, “All lights are on and it’s a go!” referring to the blinking lights on the recorder. Tobias joked back asking if this meant that “all the lights are on and somebody IS home?”

Tobias then greeted us, and said that since we lit 2 candles, in lieu of a fire, there were 2 visitors and St Germain was waiting in the wings to be invited in also…but he was definitely waiting until he was invited, since the last time he had spoken with Ziggy personally over 6 months ago, Ziggy had ended up being a bit ticked off at what St Germain had had to say to him then. Ziggy assured St Germain that all is well in the now between them and he was very happy to invite him in also. St Germain enjoyed the banter and greeted us too, but allowed Tobias to speak first, who thanked him for that privilege.

Tobias: “It has been a while and as you know I do not come around as frequently as I used to. So many changes taking place! There is excitement on many realms. It is a chaotic time for so many, and yet it is a time of much promise, much potential, and much is occurring.”

Tobias then addressed me personally and spoke about what has been occurring in my physical body in the area of my lungs. I am still congested and coughing, but feeling much better than I had been. That morning I woke myself up with the very strange noise and sensation I have felt in my lung area since the first time I had pneumonia. It is a sensation/vibration of air being blown through my lungs as if it was a pipe organ, and there is an accompanying noise that I can only describe as a ’snort’ when the air comes out the other end and escapes through my noise and mouth. It is very different from a ’snoring snort!’

Tobias: “And so Maureen once again I come in to speak to you about what has just transpired in your physical body…this area of your lungs. You have been curious. You did indeed wake up this morning with your symbolic…what you call…lung snort. And this is indicating that you have indeed made huge transformations in your physical body yes, but your energetic structure as well. And I know it has been a long and challenging path to this, through what seemed to be an illness, and yet you are emerging from it, none the worse for wear, and with gifts that you bring back with you. You are expanding your interdimensional senses, dear one…as is Ziggy, too, and as all are, in different ways. “

He went on to tell me that my own abilities “have much to do with this area of the lung and with the breath. Indeed what you have just done is balanced your right and left lungs. You have expanded the size of your left lung now to be a balanced match with what you expanded of your right lung previously. That is not completely finished as of yet. You are still having residual challenges to your physical body. These shall not last forever as you are well aware. But you have previously opened to gifts from Lemuria. What you are opening to now are your gifts from Atlantis. Now, I do not wish to spoil the surprise for you (laughter) as you discover these on your own. But I do wish to say it is a time where the gifts you are bringing forth can be shared. But they must be balanced.”

In speaking of balance, Tobias offered up a message that I feel is relevant to so many. He spoke of balancing the introvert and the extrovert within ourselves. He directed this to me:

Tobias: “You have been one who in your life has been quite extroverted previously. You loved a party my dear…(laughter) yes, and so did I! But in this lifetime you have found that as you began your ascension journey, as happens to so many, you have gone more and more inward. This is what this journey has been about for so many. You have become introverted in a way that you were not used to being. And now you have passed the Quantum Leap, now you have been going through these momentous cycles in your turning of the wheel, as dear Brigid calls it, and you are bringing in powerful energies on the planet….for yes, all of you, these energies are not being ‘done ‘to you. You are calling in these energies…these very potent energies. The energy of this solstice is off the charts as far as what you have experienced previously. “

After getting that out, he stopped me and said of my ‘translation‘:

Tobias: “Not solstice, Maureen…equinox!” (laughter)

“Yes…equinox! Wait til the solstice comes…you will find out that things can build even more! (laughter)

But this equinox has been quite powerful, as you are aware. It effected all in different ways, but what I am speaking of…St Germain is telling me, ‘in my long winded way!’…what I am saying is that you are entering new cycles in your experiences, because you have indeed reached a culmination point.”

In speaking of this culmination point, he addressed Ziggy, who has continued to bring himself back into balanced health after months of intense physical challenges of his own.

Tobias: “…with what you have done as far as your movement forward from energies that were stuck…you have done well my friend. You have done well. You are all reaching a new place of more balanced energies and there are going to be changes that come about as far as this goes. It is going to be time for more of a balancing of the introvert with the extrovert. “

Then he spoke to those of us who are here “as the leaders, as the standards, whichever word you choose to use…you are the ones going first and you will find that as you move forward, it will not happen immediately, but I am speaking to you to prepare you for this…you will be moving back into your role of physically being with others in a far grander capacity than you have been for quite a while. And I wish you to know that this is part of what you have chosen when you have come into this incarnation with the potential for reaching the place that you are in now.”

He joked to us personally that Ziggy did not need to worry about being as ‘verbose’ as I am, as I can cover any required verbosity quite easily, but that his contribution, and indeed each individual’s contribution, is equally important.

“But you are both aware of how important your combined energies are for the work that you are doing. And while you may not have quite the same gift of gab that this one has who has indeed kissed the Blarney Stone, (laughter) others do indeed wish to hear what you have to say. Your way of expressing, your way of sharing, is a bit different, but it is every bit as important. And so both of you, and all of you, it is important to be aware that indeed the seasons are changing. You will not immediately be catapulted into this. Yet be aware…”

He spoke to us of the traveling Ziggy and I did when we first came together, saying that “those trips that you have taken previously were just the tip of the iceberg for this World Tour as it was called when you first began it. There are many other places on the planet to visit. Allow it to come about in a natural manner and a joyful manner. Know that what you need in the way of resources will be provided for you and there are new ways of this provision to be coming into your experience. As you said, dear Ziggy, the lights are on! Yes indeed, and as our dear friend Jeshua said, you do not hide your light under a bushel basket! And so while you do enjoy the peace and tranquility of this beautiful place (Ziggy’s Alberta home), it is not the place for you to spend 365 days of your year. “

He asked if we understood, and we said yes. Then he asked if we had any questions, and I asked if he could just please elaborate a little bit more on whatever gifts I had gotten from my recent physical lung challenge. His response was not exactly the specifics I was hoping for.

Tobias: “Dear one, dear one. You still lack patience, don’t you! (laughter) You are going to find that you are increasing your ability to…what do you call it…slide between the dimensions…and you have seen hints of this. You have seen yourself able to see auras now, more than you ever did previously. You are hearing other-worldly tones. You are going to find that this meshing of the dimensions becomes more of a reality for you as you continue to move forward in your own expansion, and as you do this you will have new…what is not just connecting and communicating with the other dimensions, but…sharing of these with others who are not yet as adept at this sliding between dimensions as you are. So let me leave it at that and say there are some lovely surprises in store for you. This has not been for naught that you have experienced this recent bout of illness! Continue to take care of yourself. Continue to do what you are feeling drawn to do or not to do. Allow your body to heal. It is important that you rest, for your body must be in a place of balance also in order for you to have the energy that is required for movement into this next step. “

Tobias then concluded with this to Ziggy: “You dear Ziggy I would say are doing wonderfully well in balancing out your body. You will find that as you continue to move forward in this new mindset I might say, or at least this new place of determination to be the master and creator of your own experience, which is how I see it, you will find that things continue to fall into place and I would not be talking to you about world tours and expanding outward if you were in any condition to become an invalid and move backwards in your health. You are doing quite well and it is a delight to see.”

And then St Germain took over, with loving greetings to all. Ziggy joked about his ‘appearance’ to us the day before in the form of a beautiful little bird…a wild chicken…that had come right up to the sliding glass doors and looked in on us.

St Germain responded: “Well how appropriate, was it not, when you know I love to strut my stuff and preen my feathers? (laughter)

Oh, I am always around and you are aware of that. It is a time of expansion in so many different ways and you will find that as you have recognized certain people as being part of the energy streams of certain larger energies and entities, you will find that more and more you will be understanding that animals are as well. Even your flora…and fauna…and yes that is indeed a reference to your Sleeping Beauty movie as spoken of by Merlin recently…your flora and your fauna also carry many different energies, though not in quite the same manner as people, as humans, do. There are different vegetations, different flowers that grow in different climates, as you are aware. Now differing climates are energy streams as well. This is perhaps a bit more the conversation dear Kryon is most adept at, and yet be aware of this…this is part of what you are moving into with your expansion of understanding. It is such that, when a volcano erupts, as has been happening in Alaska, you are connected to this. It is climatic, but it is energetic as well. And there is a far different energy contained in the eruption of a volcano than is contained in the Arctic Circle where it is this crystalline energy of so much snow. So you see that when you have plants that favour certain climates, they are in tune with the energy of that particular climate. There are variations and this is why it is such a delight to travel all around this planet and see that you have different frequencies of beauty every place that you go.

And the same is quite true of the animals, and in particular birds that populate different places. As you two present here were aware when you visited Australia, there is a variety of birds there the likes of which you had never seen or heard before. And this is because of the attunement of the energies of that place and that climate…and there is much more to the energies we speak of than simply the climate. It is also the varied energies of the Earth itself that is felt in certain locations…in different locations. It is the mineral content…it is the rock content contained in the Earth. This is of course why you are so drawn, Maureen, to New Mexico. It is a place where the Earth’s energy is very much in resonance with your own frequency. Each of you will find that different places on the planet are most in tune with you and your own energy flow. And that is why it is so delightful to have the ability to be able to travel to different places and find where there is resonance with your own uniqueness.”

Then St G addressed Ziggy and me about the trip that we have long thought about but that was put on hold a while ago for a variety of reasons.

“You will at some point in your future be traveling to what you have come to call ‘the Camelot lands,’ which includes Ireland, too, as well as the countries of the United Kingdom. You will find that you have a great deal of resonance with this place because you have left so much of your own energy there from your previous incarnations. So again it is a place to not just consider a trip to, it is a place to begin creating the unfolding of the trip by simply doing a bit of research and imagining what you would like to experience. It does not mean you will be going next month, but it means that when you do go you will have seeded the trip for yourselves already. That would be a delightful thing to do. It is a place that is calling to you as many others have, but as you are aware, things shift as you shift. You were so very drawn at one time to visit Bolivia. What happened, dear friends? What happened?”

Ziggy responded: “I would say that the energies of that place that we were drawn to return to came to meet us. It was no longer necessary to actually physically visit that place.”

SG: “And this is a place that you may well yet get to in this incarnation, but you are precisely correct in what you are saying. The energies came to meet you and a great bit of that was indeed your very dear friend going there and saturating herself in these energies because of her being drawn to this particular trip that she made, and she did indeed bring these energies back to you in many forms. Indeed the most important form was her own energy, and yet it is not entirely about that. You do have some water from Lake Titicaca that she brought back to you sitting on the hutch in your kitchen! It is a wonderful thing how this energy works and this energy spreads itself around. There are other places you are going to find yourselves drawn to as you continue forward in this expansive new energy journey, and yet follow what you feel most drawn to in any given moment. You can see that you have indeed created such a wonderful connection to the one you call Merlin who is of course an energy stream…and indeed a very powerful, very large flowing stream of energy. Merlin is very connected to these lands we are speaking of…the Camelot lands. There is much more to this place than them just being the Camelot lands. It is one of the most energetically powerful places on the planet. There will be many reasons for you to experience this and when the timing is right, when the alignments have occurred, you will find that you will receive much from the experience. You will expand yourselves much from the experience of the trip there.”

St Germain asked if we were following what he was saying, and as Ziggy replied that he was, he brought up a dream that he had had prior to our meeting in the physical, when our connection to each other was purely etherically heart felt, and through the internet. He dreamed that my father, who died in 1974, had invited him to join him for dinner, and my father stated the place and time. Ziggy was delayed in getting there and so was late. As he arrived, he found my father…who he described perfectly in the way he looked, dressed, and acted as far as I remember him, even though he had never even seen a picture of him…had already eaten and was on his way out of the restaurant. He told him that he couldn’t stay any longer, but that he had ordered dinner for him and already paid for it. As he was leaving, he said to Ziggy…”Your energy is needed in the Hebrides.” This left Ziggy a little confounded as he had no idea where the Hebrides were located and why his energy would be needed there.

The Hebrides are islands off the west coast of Scotland, and there is quite the ancient and magical history to places there like the Isle of Skye and Ione.

Ziggy expressed what he felt about this: “I still remember very clearly the meeting I had with the energy that was Maureen’s father in this incarnation previously…coming to me the way that he did and suggesting to me that my energy is needed in that area, and you know I certainly didn’t understand it then…I don’t understand it fully now…because I don’t remember my many incarnations there. But I know that its very important and I’m very drawn to…accomplishing isn’t the right word…

St Germain responded: “Indeed. And you and this one, as I believe you already know, were Druids together and you seeded much energy in that area as a result. And it is…in many ways it is meeting yourself in going back there and connecting with the energies. As you are aware, you all have experienced so many different incarnations and there are mysteries that will be revealed as you continue to make this ascension journey…as you continue to walk into your creation of the New Earth. Many things that were not understood previously, you will begin to understand. This is the veil continuing to get thinner and thinner and thinner. Things that you could not have imagined even a dozen years ago you have experienced in these last few years. “

He then brought up an experience I had several years ago during a private session I had with a channeler, in which I had had a conversation with another aspect of my own soul that lived an incarnation as an Apache shaman several hundred years ago.

St Germain: “You had the experience of holding a conversation with the shaman aspect of your soul from this other incarnation. It was very real. It was a real experience for both of you, for this shaman knew how to…you might say…time travel in order to be able to go forward, in order to be able to go into the future and hold that conversation with you. There are many what you might call miracles waiting in the wings to come forward onto Earth in this time period. You have been told through The Group…you have been told much from Atlantis is ready to come back up to the surface from where it has been buried in consciousness. There are magical things in this. Again, it may not happen overnight. It may not happen all at once, but believe me…you are building such a momentum energetically and in your consciousness that it is inevitable. And as has been said, if this time frame of July (as mentioned in The Group’s message) comes and goes without it being the right timing yet, you will have more and more opportunities. It is not going away, because your consciousness has expanded to this point…because there is now a balancing. There are many, many who are not in the same place as you and the others who are in your place of awakening, and yet there are so many who have come so far in their awakening that this is bridging the gap, this is leading the way, for those who are still sleeping, to begin to awaken themselves.”

St G then mentioned what fun it is for him to come in close and have these kinds of conversations. He took the opportunity to kid Ziggy a little about all that has transpired since last he spoke to him in this manner, saying: “You have come so far! Do you recognize this yourself?”

To which Ziggy replied: “I do!”

SG: “Do you remember when you wanted us to answer every question that you had? You were a chatterbox back then, dear friend!” (laughter)

Z: “And I would get a little upset if I didn’t get the answers I wanted.” (laughter)

SG: “I recall! (laughter) Now…are we at peace dear brother? With where we have been ourselves in the past?”

Z: “Certainly we are. And we always have been.”

SG: “Well…I do recall there was a bit of upset over the last time I came in and spoke to you this way!”

Z: “Yeah. There was a bit of grating energies….exactly why I’m not sure…it was just a raw button there that needed dealing with and I know that that’s been accomplished now.”

SG: “You understand why I kept pushing you?”

Z: “Yes, certainly. And I thank you for that!”

SG: “You are most welcome. (laughter) It is my delight! Truly though, dear friend, you were about this close (Maureen’s thumb and index finger are held together) to missing the boat. Do you get that? “

Z: “Yes.”

SG: “And I am delighted that you…at the very last minute…hmmmm….Maureen is recalling your dream…

(one in which Ziggy helped someone else with her luggage as she got off a train at her stop, which was not his stop, and the train began pulling out of the station again without him. He dove at the doors as they were closing, and found a “doggie door“ kind of opening at the bottom that he was just able to throw himself through at the last minute so he could keep going on his own journey)

…perhaps it was not quite the same as jumping through the doggie door on the train! But you indeed had to jump a bit…as the removal of that plank you use to walk onto the ship was occurring. You had to leap through mid air for a bit to land on the boat (laughter)…but you made it, and it is going to be the most exciting and adventurous cruise imaginable now that you are aboard. There are many others onboard with you also. There are many you have not met yet who are going to play major roles with you in the unfolding of the future. And this is what is very exciting for those of you who are alive at this time on the planet, those of you who have struggled,…most of you…through so much of this journey. There have been many challenges. You have been purifying and cleansing. You have put yourselves through a complete overhaul and rewiring of who you were earlier in this lifetime…and who you were earlier in this lifetime indeed carried so many energies from who you were in many other incarnations. Now you are coming up shining and sparkling clean like newborns, and yet not like the newborns of this planet in the past who bring so much of their past karma with them. You have cleared your karma. You have cleared this game that you have played for so long of balancing things out through actions and lifetimes. Now you are able to balance out through intent. Now you are able to choose to create balance in your energy fields and your bodies, and all of you have indeed had to work on this, and I do know it has not been easy…even though I have perhaps not been as kind and understanding in my conversations as you might have desired me to be….and yet it was this pushing knowing that you could get to this place. And you are going to find that you create a whole new game, but it is a game with entirely different rules…as this game has no rules! It is a game with an entirely different purpose. This one is further expansion through knowing You Are God. This is further expansion through joy and creating wondrous experiences for yourselves. You might say that you are finally reaching the place where you no longer have to keep dealing with the old stuff that’s been hidden away.”

St Germain then mentioned a dream I had recently had, of being ready to move and at the last minute, realizing I had forgotten to clean out the basement of the house I was vacating.

“This dream of forgetting to clean out the basement is precisely about what you thought it was about…bringing up the last of those old energies and past emotions that have still been lurking within, hidden and forgotten, to be released, to allow you to stand in your purest form that you have ever stood in as a human…as a Divine Human….and create from there. Many who have shared legs of your journey with you, as you have called it previously, have disappeared, have left your life, because they are on different legs of their own journey. This is the way it is meant to be. And yet, there are many who will share this next leg of this new journey with you that you have not known previously in this lifetime, who have been doing their own work in their own lives, in their own places removed from where you yourselves have been. And there is going to be a wonderful reunion of souls who recognize each other at the deepest of soul levels, and you have not even been aware that they exist upon the planet! Oh, this I wish to tell you….there is so much joy to come!

Certainly there is going to be…what is that expression?…wailing and gnashing of teeth. There is going to be much chaos in the world around you, as you are seeing…as you will continue to see for awhile. But remember it is always your choice which world you occupy, and you are in the place where you are completely capable of occupying only the world that you yourselves desire to be in. Now others may say you are in denial, others may say you are in continued hibernation, but as Tobias has said, you will be coming out of your hibernation, and you will have the opportunity to be in the world but not of it. It is the opportunity to begin living your own reality in the new earth-new world you are creating while right here still upon this beautiful and beloved planet.

And now Tobias is telling me that I am indeed off on a tangent (laughter), but what we both wish to get across to you this morning is that you have reached the place of critical mass. This has been said before in different ways, but in your now it has never been truer. You have reached this critical mass that means, for those of you who have gotten this far, there is no going back! And this is a joyous and wondrous thing! For it means you do not need to go back into living in the world of density that has sucked so much of your life force energy out of you…that has indeed in many ways sucked you dry…that has been so challenging.”

He then went on to speak of all of us prioritizing where and how we expend our life force energy, particularly in relationships with others.

“I would bid you to continue to follow the feeling state of your own heart as far as who you are drawn to expend energy in connecting and interacting with. You will experience others seeking a potential connection to you as you continue to expand on your journey. You will not always have the energy to respond to them all in the same manner. The ones that you find yourself desiring to respond to when you have the energy to do so are the ones that there is a reason for you to build and maintain a connection to. It may not be clear to you in your awareness or your consciousness as to what the connection is about. It does not need to be consciously clear. Follow the guidance of your heart. Use your own discernment in who you connect with, and this discernment will always come from your own feeling space of heart.

Now, in conclusion…let us make this a day of celebration! Let us make it a day of joy…and not for any particular reason or date on your calendar…simply because we are all here together connecting in heart, in this space of the now moment…and it is a beautiful thing! There is much more to come!

Tobias and I both wish you each to know that you are so very dearly loved!

Aloha!”

Equinox Message from Brigid, Merlin & Maureen

It is far easier to simply transcribe a recorded session than it is to write up a synopsis of one that didn’t record…which is what happened yesterday with the equinox message that came through from both Brigid and Merlin. It was a beautiful conversation, and our new recorder was working just fine when my partner Ziggy turned it on to record the session. It was quite a surprise when he went to play it back and it wasn’t there. Someone shared a channeled message with me that said the energies of this equinox were so intense that they were likely to mess with electronic equipment, which is apparently what happened to us.

Intense energies indeed. The energies leading up to this equinox had me personally flattened, and I know many others who were also affected in this same way. This was why this particular message from Brigid and Merlin was so uplifting, and so it is one I very much want to share.

I need to give some background information for everything that was said to make sense. On the spiritual message board I actively participate on, we recently were discussing Atlantis and the many feelings we all still carry that stem from its demise. My partner Ziggy and I both have recall of having drowned together in our last lifetime in Atlantis, when that grand civilization sank beneath the sea. Merlin confirmed for us in one session that this was so, and told us that we are here in this lifetime to assist in ‘Atlantis Rising’ and to give Atlantis back the heart that was lost during those end times and which was the catalyst for its destruction.

Then Ziggy and I listened to the Lightworker broadcast on Saturday, February 28th, in which Steve Rother channeled The Group, and The Group’s message was that we are poised for a technology upgrade on our planet that will bring back some of the things we could do in the days of Atlantis that have been lost to us ever since. Their message was that we are recreating Atlantis in our now.

I was incredibly moved by that message, and its affirmation of all that had been coming up for so many of us. A friend posted a youtube video of Donovan’s song ‘Atlantis’ and as I watched the swirling waters depicted in it, I found myself breaking down and sobbing as huge waves of grief washed over me. I cried for 2 days as I brought up the feelings of grief still buried within me from when we lost Atlantis.

And then an interesting thing happened. As I allowed the release of those feeling of grief from Atlantis, I found myself crying to release the grief that had not been completely released from this present lifetime of mine. My husband Dickie was only 38 years old when he died in 1990. I was 34 and had to then face raising our 3 very young children alone. I was angry with him that he had left me to this, and it took me a long time to work through those feelings of anger. It took me a full year to put a headstone on his grave because I was so angry, but Al-Anon did help me work through those feelings and when I did put one up, I had engraved on it ‘Love is Eternal.’ It is.

Because of the anger, I had never fully and completely grieved for the man I married because I loved him so. Bringing up the grief from Atlantis allowed me to segue into bringing up the grief from my husband’s early death. And as I did, I was able to see him and Who He Was in an entirely new light. I realized what a hero of consciousness he was, back in a time when I don’t recall anyone ever using the word ’consciousness.’

Merlin once said that to understand our soul’s purpose we often have to view more than just our current lifetime. He said we incarnate over and over again in different lifetimes with the same soul purpose that we keep expanding on through our experiences. One of the challenges that humanity has dealt with since the fall of Atlantis has been the skewing of the masculine and feminine energies. Dysfunctional masculine energy has resulted in abuse through power and control, and dysfunctional feminine energy has resulted in victimhood through that abuse, regardless of whether one is in a male or a female body. We each contain both energies.

My father and my husband’s father fought in World War II. We viewed them as warriors and men of honour who wanted to protect the world from the horrible abuse being inflicted on so many innocents by Hitler. We saw them as fighting the good fight when they served in the army.

My husband was a warrior too. And he was a man of honour and integrity and heart. He was a teenager of 17 when he went to Woodstock and basked in the warm sea of love and music that that historic event gave birth to. And when his number came up in the draft lottery and he was supposed to go fight in Viet Nam, his consciousness would not allow him to. He said that he would not kill people he had no personal issue with. He knew that a warrior uses his masculine energy to protect and defend the innocent, not to abuse the innocent.

As I cried for him earlier this month as my grief came up for final releasing, I was shocked when I realized just how full circle his actions had come all these years later. My younger son’s girlfriend of the last few years, a young woman I absolutely love, is Vietnamese-American. Her father was a child of 10 when Saigon fell and he was airlifted out to spend 2 years in a refugee camp before being relocated to the United States and eventually becoming a U.S. citizen. I don’t know if these 2 young people will stay together, and I don’t know if they will ever have children together, though I would be overjoyed if they did. I wondered if on some level of his being, my husband had the awareness that if he went and killed Vietnamese people, he might potentially be killing the family of his own grandchildren. Or…did he just get it that we are ALL ‘Family.’

After I had cried all my tears, something amazing happened. I received an email from the man who was my husband’s best friend. I haven’t seen him in at least 12 years, and the last time I talked to him was nearly 4 years ago when he called me to tell me how incredible my children had turned out when he spent time with them at a family reunion they had gone back east for which I did not attend myself. He had found my blog on the internet and while he said he didn’t understand most of what was on it, he wanted to. He hadn’t known that I had obtained my Ph.D. in metaphysics in the years since I had left New England and moved to New Mexico with my children to start a new life. He affectionately called me ’Doctor Mo’ as he congratulated me, and I found both my heart and all the ensuing years since I had shared my life with him previously melting away as I reconnected with this beautiful person through his email. The next day I called him and we talked for a very long time. When my husband came up, his voice was breaking a bit as he said, “He was my hero. He is the finest person I have ever known.”

I would like to honour this man who was my husband and the father of my 3 children, so I am posting our wedding photo taken back in 1977 when I was 21 and he was 25. At the instant the photo was snapped, I was squeezing his hand telling him to stop making me laugh with all the funny comments he was making under his breath. He made so many people smile and laugh during the time he was here on Earth, and that is how I remember him and why I still miss him.

The other photo is a family portrait that my beloved Ziggy snapped last year when we were housesitting for our dear friend Denise in the mountains east of Albuquerque and my children came out for dinner. What a fun time we had. While Dickie may not have been there in the physical to share those wonderful moments with us, his beautiful legacy lives on in all of our hearts.

This past year, Ziggy has had some pretty intense health challenges which left him at one point in kidney failure. He recognized the energies that had become stuck in his own life, and as soon as he started moving them, his kidney function began to return. He is an amazing man, and he has continued to steadily improve and regain kidney function in spite of his nephrologist painting a doom and gloom scenario of inevitable decline necessitating eventual reliance on dialysis. He is a shining example of what I have specialized in during this lifetime’s career…the mind-body-spirit connection.

His health challenges are mentioned in this conversation with Brigid and Merlin. And so are my own. After all the emotions rising up within me, I went through a period of extreme insomnia where I couldn’t sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. I was exhausted, and one evening felt a sharp pain in the area of my left lung. Shortly after that, I started feeling very sick. It was a little too familiar a feeling, as it felt just like when I had pneumonia 3 years ago. It was that pneumonia that ’opened’ me to reclaiming an ability I was told I had had in the days of Lemuria, and that in this lifetime is now made manifest as my ability to translate the energies I feel into words and have conversations with Beings who are not living in the 3rd dimension. When I had that pneumonia 3 years ago, it was in my right lung. Now I could feel my left lung being affected and I wondered what was up this time. One evening I happened to glance at my tongue in the bathroom mirror and saw a huge lesion on the right side and a smaller corresponding one on the left. I remembered how in Chinese medicine, something I have an affinity for using since it is so energy based, one is often diagnosed through tongue analysis, as all the energy meridians in the body are connected to the tongue. I remembered also that the meridians cross over above the neck, and so the lesion on the right side of my tongue would correspond with the left side of my body. I realized that these lesions were in the area of the tongue that is associated with the lungs. I had previously worked with a Chinese meridian practitioner for years when I first moved to Albuquerque and she had diagnosed me with weak kidney chi (life force energy) and stagnant liver chi. The kidneys are associated with fear and the inability to fully embrace living and move forward, while the liver is where all our anger is dumped. Both diagnoses had made perfect sense to me at the time, given my life’s circumstances. This wonderful doctor assisted me back into balance through her care and I no longer have kidney or liver challenges. Looking at my tongue, I wondered what the lungs are associated with, so I looked it up on the internet. Lung issues are related to grieving. When I saw that, my whole being went ’AHA!’ I knew it was time to once and for all release all of the grief I was still holding onto…from this lifetime, and going all the way back to Atlantis.

Recognition of what was at play energetically allowed me to move through this bout with pneumonia without needing to seek medical care and have an antibiotic prescribed. I’ve been taking echinacea with goldenseal drops, and have resorted to a tried and true home remedy that my husband used to make for me…hot toddies! Its worked, and while I am still coughing I no longer physically feel like I am going to die. And energetically…emotionally…’feeling state-wise’…I feel so much joy and excitement about the future we are all creating together. My grieving is done, and now it is time to fully embrace this beautiful gift of life we give to ourselves when we incarnate on Planet Earth.

Here is my recounting of yesterday’s conversation with Brigid and Merlin:

Brigid began and ended the session with her lilting greeting “Cead Mile Failte”…which in Gaelic means “One hundred thousand welcomes.” And Merlin came through with a “Hail to All!”

Brigid began by speaking of what a momentous day this ‘turning of the wheel’ in our yearly cycle is, this equinox, which is all about balance. She said that both she and Merlin were visiting us today as it was a representation of the balance of masculine and feminine energies. She said that she contains both feminine and masculine energies, and Merlin contains both masculine and feminine energies, but she is associated more with the Divine Feminine and Merlin is associated more with the Divine Masculine, so their energies are a complement to each other. She mentioned our dear friend The Green Man, and said he would return soon to speak with us again also, but that we should know that his energies, which are also the energies of Pan, are a part of the Merlin energies as well. And that while we associate Brigid with being a Celtic goddess, she is known by many other names too and flows many diverse streams of energy within her own.

Brigid said all of us are made up of both masculine and feminine energies, and these energies are seeking balance within us, regardless of our gender.

The equinox, she said, is a celebration of balanced energies, and she said this year’s equinox was a very special celebration of balance because a balance has been reached upon the planet that has never been experienced before. It is a balance of consciousness. She said that while the numbers of those who are still living under the influence of mass consciousness and the fear that arises from it are far greater than the numbers of those who are walking the path of awakening, because of the density and heaviness of the energy of fear, far fewer numbers are needed to balance it since the energy of love that walks through fear is so light. She said we are there now, and that is why there is a huge celebration going on in all the dimensions that watch this game of illusion we so love to play on Planet Earth. They are cheering for us! She reminded us that every ‘one’ who walks through fear to live in joy affects thousands who are continuing to live in fear.

Next, she talked about The Group’s message, and how we are in the place for so much that was amazing from the time of Atlantis to be reborn in the now, in a totally new and different way. She spoke of how as we move beyond the emotions that we got stuck in at the time Atlantis fell, we create the space for birthing what we knew before in a whole new manner.

Then Merlin began speaking, and the word he used a lot was ’transmutation.’ He said that so many of us who are ’lightworkers’ here on the planet in the now are transmuting energies for not just ourselves, but for the masses as well. He affirmed for me what I remembered about emotions and Chinese medicine, and said that the metaphysical concepts that those like Louise Hay have introduced to the world are based on the ancient Chinese understanding of how the mind, body, spirit and emotions are all connected and all affect each other.

He said that those of us who have volunteered to do this transmuting are having the energies of our personal circumstances magnified in order to transmute these energies for the masses. He said that Ziggy’s issues with his kidneys are transmuting fear for far more than just himself. And he said that my whole life and its experiences have been leading me to the place I am in now of transmuting grief and sorrow to be able to fully live in joy, and this affects many, many thousands of others beyond myself.

Merlin then went on to speak of what we are all creating together…what some have called the New Earth. He said that what we are doing is intersecting dimensions in a way that has never been done before, and therefore we are creating a new dimension that no one has ever experienced previously. He likened our interconnecting energies to a spider web, and said that it is no accident that in Native American mythology the world was created by Grandmother Spider. He said this spider web is what we can also refer to as an energetic grid, and that many, many of us are part of the grid of Merlin energies and Brigid energies. He also referred to this as our collective tapestry, and said that each of us contribute so many colours to the weaving as we share our unique energies with each other.

Frequently, people write to me and ask me to ask questions they are curious about during our sessions. I always respond that if there is information for them that comes through, I will share it with them, but that I don’t know if anything will come through. I didn’t ask Merlin anything yesterday, but he spontaneously volunteered perspectives on 4 different questions that I have received in the past month.

One dear lady who is the mother of a young daughter had inquired about the connection between Merlin and the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. Merlin was delighted to say that it is indeed his energy that is flowing so wondrously through Ms. Rowling's gifted writing. He pointed out that children are so much more easily able to connect to their inherent knowledge of themselves as magical Beings…Alchemists and Magicians…and that it is often through association with what is ‘child-like’ that we adults allow ourselves to remember this aspect of Who We Are. And he suggested that we do this much more frequently! Last weekend while in the throes of lung congestion and illness, I only had the energy to watch TV. I was thrilled to see that our satellite programming was showing the original 1959 Walt Disney movie ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and I immediately tuned in. With no ‘medicine’ besides the herbal tinctures on hand and no hard alcohol in the house other than a bottle of absinth Ziggy had bought just after the December solstice while I was in New Mexico and told him that Denise and I drank ‘Green Fairies’ in her hot tub under the stars to celebrate it, I had mixed myself a ‘Green Fairy’ hot toddy and sipped it while I watched Walt Disney’s magic. (Absinth has quite a history and used to be illegal in the U.S. because of some of the mythology associated with it. It is a lovely green colour and that is how it got its name of the ‘Green Fairy.’) There are 3 ‘fairies’ in Sleeping Beauty…one of them green! They are Flora, Fauna and Merriwether, the magical fairies who watch over the Princess Aurora after that Wicked Witch casts a jealous spell on her after her birth. I recently enjoyed watching a youtube video of ‘Extra Celestials’…the star beings who take credit for creating crop circles as an interdimensional way of communicating with us. They dart around in the air as little balls of light in brilliant colours…and Flora, Fauna and Merriwether looked just like that in Sleeping Beauty. Merlin affirmed that there is much symbolism in Sleeping Beauty and other childhood ’imaginary’ tales that we should pay attention to.

Merlin next addressed my close friend from another incarnation who had asked me about the ancient Finnish kings he is so drawn to…and has been visiting via what he calls time travel, though he admits some might just call it his imagination. Merlin simply said…you are so drawn to them because you were one. Continue your time travel/imagination and you can access all of what you are desiring to know, because it is contained within you. He said he is happy to share those journeys with you.

And then he addressed the questions from the ‘two Adams’ as I like to call them…a very symbolic name for sure. The first Adam had asked about the ‘Houses of Awakening’ he feels inspired to create. Merlin said it was no accident that the location for these are in the lands known as the ‘Camelot’ lands, because he, Merlin, is very associated with them and is working closely with this Adam for their birthing…because this Adam is very connected to the Merlin energies and what he creates will strongly flow these Merlin energies. He said there are still some alignments to come before this manifests in the physical, but if (you) Adam continue to follow your heart and your inner guidance, the alignments will come about more quickly and easily. Merlin then addressed me and Ziggy, and told us that while we may not be involved in the physical orchestration of this project, we are very connected energetically to it, and when we visit these Houses of Awakening one day in the future, we will feel our own energies as a part of what created them.

Merlin then asked if Ziggy or I had any questions about what he had been speaking about. I said no, and so did Ziggy, but he elaborated a bit and said that he had reached the place where whatever he might have had as a question seemed to be automatically answered without his having to ask. Merlin liked that response a lot, and used it to answer the question asked by the second Adam…will Merlin help me remember and access what I know I know but don’t remember? Merlin gave grand kudos to our second Adam, and said that indeed, this is the way to all answers…going deeper and deeper within, because that is where all answers are contained. He spoke directly to this Adam and said, “Continue going deeper and deeper within Self as guided by your heart and feelings. You ARE Merlin as you are part of the Merlin energy stream.”

Merlin ended by talking a bit about the ‘change of seasons’ that is upon us. A dear friend had written to me to say that she had noticed that the equinox occurred at exactly 4:44am in her part of the world, and she felt there must be great significance in this for one such as myself, whose birth time was 4:44pm. Merlin spoke about the energy of ‘12’ as I was born on 12/12 at 4:44 and he said that I not only carry but emanate the energy of this very spiritual number. And he said that many others do as well, and this is what is bringing about the change of seasons on the planet that we are all assisting in creating.

He and Brigid concluded the session by saying that the intense energies of this equinox will be with us for a while longer, but they do not need to disrupt our lives if we simply allow them to solidify for us all that we have brought to the surface in the weeks preceding the equinox.

Brigid, who is associated with fire and the ‘Flame of Kildare’ in Ireland, affirmed for me what I had written of recently on my message board…that, as is spoken of in the introduction to A Course in Miracles, we no longer need to be the steel that is tempered by fire. The raw material of the new energy and New Earth is iron, which has no need for tempering by flame. Brigid said that now we can utilize fire as the portal it truly is…as a doorway we open to a new dimension that we are creating together. I am so looking forward to walking through it.

Happy Equinox All.
