Rays of Creation & Dancing through the Dimensions
What was before “the beginning?” Where did it all begin? The ALL (or Source) created the earthly realms and THEN said, "let there be light". Light was secondary to the void. White light can be broken into a spectrum of colors, each with a specific wavelength & frequency. Color has form. Vibration has color. Sound has vibration. For example, the "Om" in Hinduism represents the primordial vibration from which the universe arose. "In the Beginning was the Word"…the Creat

The Divine Feminine: Goddess Archetypes & Cosmic Womb (Yoni)
Disclaimer for the guys who read this: This has nothing to do with gender. We all contain both masculine and feminine energy. It’s about balancing both energies within ourselves, so we feel harmonious. Over the summer, I read several books. I highly recommend Mary Magdalene Revealed by Meggan Watterson and Our Cosmic Origin by Ismael Perez. Very different books but the overlap regarding the biblical stories was uncanny. I also suggest reading (or watching) New York Ti

Good Vibrations: The Sound of Silence, your Sacred Voice & the Stars
I hope this month’s musings will resonate with you (pun intended)! The last couple of months I’ve been able to enjoy several sound baths. Like many of you, I have experienced the healing power of mantra , chanting, kirtan, and sound baths. Did you know that symphony conductors live 8 years longer than most people because they’re constantly in a sound bath?! During one of our journeys with my shaman sisters, we were to exploring sound healing. Even though we use drumming

New Year, New You, Full Moon Blessings
Photo: Despacho Ceremony with me and beloved Q’ero elder don Sebastian (you can read more about him in The Andean Codex by JE Williams) Back in 2021, I said the theme for 2024 would be Revolution and 2023 The Reckoning which is the preparation for the Revolution. December is a time for endings, culminations, and celebrations. January is about new beginnings and January 1st begins the illumination phase of the moon. The full Wolf moon reaches its peak on January 6th . Hmm

Tap into your Intuition: Meet the “Clair”s
Greetings lightworkers, we’re here at an epic time, so thank you for showing up! Do you remember back in June 2021 , I shared an Incan legend of a great Angel who looked into the future and saw that humanity would face some challenging times at the beginning of the 21st century? The Angel asked, “Who would like to volunteer?” And you jumped up and said, “Me!” Can you believe we actually agreed to be here on this planet and take part in this cosmic shi(f)t? These are some v
