Winter Solstice

by Dreama Vance

December 21st is Winter Solstice for the northern hemisphere. It is my most favorite day of the entire year!

Yin energy is at its peak and calls us to settle down with a warm cup of herbal tea and reflect on the past year. It calls us inside ourselves to contemplate, meditate, and rest in the reassurance of the Presence.

You can feel this energy pulling you. The energy calls you inward. It is one of the reasons we experience so much stress during this time of the year. We are running around madly, busy as can be, exactly opposite of what the energies of Nature are calling us to do.

When we are in harmony with the Earth and her energies, we move into flow and grace. Stop and rest today. Be still and quiet your mind and allow reflection.

For several years now, I have been reflecting during Winter Solstice. As I reflect on the past year, a single word will come to consciousness that identifies the energy of the year just lived. It will be the theme or topic of experience that life has given me in my journey.

This year the word is Simplify.

This has been the theme running through this past year and indeed, continues to be a beacon of light for the time ahead. The energies are never discarded in the new year, but instead, they add to the wisdom of our experience of life and continue to light our way.

For one thing, we downsized. Less really is more! More time to enjoy life instead of maintaining stuff! Before you move, you go through your stuff and get rid of a bunch of it. Then you move and wonder why you didn’t get rid of the rest of it! We still have some of that to do, but already life is easier because burdens of responsibility are lifted.

The process of simplification of your mental atmosphere brings clarity. With clarity comes the ability to focus. With focus comes action!

When our minds are cluttered with too much stimulation, we become overwhelmed. I don’t know about you, but when that happens, I just sit down and don’t do anything! When we get rid of some of the mental noise and chatter, we can think straight again. We become calm and collected mentally. Then we can move into action and accomplish our goals. Priorities line up automatically and effortlessly.

Simplification has been the theme running throughout our year, not because we decided at the beginning that it would be, but because our intuition and spiritual wisdom guided us in this direction.

As we returned to the garden in our food choices, our meals became much less complicated. As this happened, our taste buds came back to life! Who would think that straight celery juice would be delicious?

Fruits and vegetables made into smoothies, juices, and salads comprise the majority of our meals. They are delicious. We feel lighter, brighter, more energetic. Raw fruits and vegetables are alive with life energy. When you eat them this way in there uncooked form, you become alive with this energy. You awaken with this vitality. The cells in your body want to sing and dance when you begin to feed them this way. Life just gets easier and more enjoyable. It becomes more real.

SPIRITUAL CLARITY MADE SIMPLE

When you go back to the beginning teachings of your spiritual understanding, do you remember how simple they were? You had great insights and intuition. You really didn’t know enough to make up any of your experiences, so your consciousness was picking up on the underlying qualities of Spirit.

When we simplify our spiritual practice, like we are doing with the chakra meditations, we unclutter the mental process and that uncluttering opens the path for the qualities of Spirit to be seen, felt, and experienced, just as they were when you first began to awaken to the Truth of your being.

Simplicity paves the way for clarity. Clarity opens understanding. Understanding creates the desire for deeper connection and that is how we arrive at the dwelling place and maintain our abiding place in the Presence.

Simplify. You can see how it has been the word of the year in our family and the benefits it has provided. If you live in the northern climes, I hope you will take the time this Winter Solstice to go within and allow Spirit to reveal your word of the year so you may explore what you have learned and the wisdom you have gained.

As we reach the tipping point of Yin energy, it begins to flow into Yang. May your word of this past year be a light to the new active energies beginning to flow as we move toward the New Year.

Many, many blessings to you.

The Light Reveals Itself

by Dreama Vance

I never cease to be amazed that I awaken more and more… again and again… when I thought I was already Awake!!

How is that possible?

One of the ways I know Truth is through this phenomenon: I can read a work of spiritual teachings over and over and…

1) It is as if I’ve never read it previously, or

2) I get a totally different insight/realization than what I knew or understood from prior readings.

Like the layers of an onion, you go deeper and deeper into wisdom. In point of fact, we rise higher and higher in aspects of consciousness.

In the 7-chakra system and the related energy bodies, we function, as a humanity, at the third level – right around the solar plexus. The first three levels, from the root chakra at the base of the spine up to the solar plexus, are concerned with our physical, emotional, and mental energies.

The fourth level, of course, is the heart. The heart is the bridge between our physicality (the lower three levels) and our spiritual nature, the upper three chakras. Everyone pretty much knows this information. However, in between the fourth-level heart chakra and the fifth-level throat chakra is another chakra (not part of the seven major chakras) that is vitally important. It is right in the center of the chest between the heart center and the throat.

This chakra is the “gatekeeper” to the higher spiritual centers (5, 6, and 7). We must master the lower levels of the physical self before we are allowed deep access to the higher spiritual centers. True, we can move our conscious awareness up to these centers and take a peek, but we do not dwell there or even gain deep awareness until we master the lower physical levels. Let’s face it, it has taken humanity “countless great eons” to get to the solar plexus level.

We must learn to live the inner life. Everyone has heard, “As above, so below. As below, so above.” But it is the rest of the axiom, “As within, so without. As without, so within.” that we must come to understand. It is the dwelling within and the understanding of the nature of existence and how it works that explains the external world.

The understanding that the external world is created from the internal focus reveals to us what is going on in the unconscious self. In other words, two things are taking place simultaneously: The internal attention manifests the external experience; the external shows us clearly what is dwelling at our deeper levels – often unconsciously, thus revealing our beliefs and emotions.

It is this discovery, disciplinary focus, and mastery that leads us from fear into love.

We must know the existential laws. We must know the very nature of existence itself.

We must know and understand that we are this very nature and that the nature of this energy of existence is in everything we see in the manifested form, and know in the unmanifested. We must know and understand at this most fundamental level in order to move out of fear and into Truth realization.

Once we know this intellectually, we begin to practice. We begin to train our conscious awareness to focus on our intentions and later, as our relationship with this energy of existence develops and we mature in our understanding and trust in this energy, we step into our true raison d’etre.

Between July 26, 2016 – July 24, 2017, we came through the Galactic Calendar year of Blue Spectral Storm. (See previous article to understand more of the details of this energy.) This year of Storm brought whipping winds and torrential rains that pounded on our beliefs and shook loose much debris that obscured our ability to see clearly. Indeed, it is very much as if we saw through a glass darkly. Now, after the storm, we have clear sight.

On so many levels, I see differently. The shenanigans of the global elite are no longer secret. The storm energy has blown the cover off that agenda that has been in the works for a century. If you are not aware of this yet, you may want to take a look at the video, Thrive, to see how we can reclaim our lives and our future. Once you become aware, you can make different choices. You have the power to make change through your choices.

On a spiritual level, personally, I finally “got” one of the higher spiritual teachings. One of my teachers pointed out there is not so much difference between “good humanhood” and “bad humanhood.” It is still humanhood. We must rise up to the spirit level and live from this plane of understanding. All that “faith” I had in being a “good human” went flying out the window with those winds of transformation. But now, I see so clearly. Transformation – which is what the year of Storm brought to us – really does, in the end, feel like rebirth.

Spiritually, from a more global perspective, doesn’t the world look new?

Yellow Crystal Seed

The new year, Yellow Crystal Seed started on July 26th, 2017. The energy of potential is vibrating through the air.

Clean. Bright. Golden opportunity.

You hold it in your hands. You have the power to grow the new seeds of thought and action in this new year.

We are the light bearers. It is time to awaken fully. It is time to hold our focus on the light. See it in your own being. Hold it in your meditations and then see it in the world wherever you are drawn to hold the light.

It is an existential law that when you hold your focus on the light, the light reveals itself.

Blue Spectral Storm

by Dreama Vance

We live in a world of time. We live this time through our experience of cycles. Spring follows winter. Day follows night. We plant and give birth by the cycles of the moon.

Long before the ruckus over whether the world would end in 2012, most of us were introduced to the cyclic calendars of the Maya. They are renowned for their many ways of tracking cycles of time, large expanses of time. Everyone who studied this knew December 21, 2012 was not “the end of time,” but the end of a 26,000 year cycle; and, consequently, the beginning of a new cycle.

This new cycle moves us back towards the light, towards remembering.

For over 5,000 years, cultures all over the world have used a 13-moon, 28-day count calendar. In the time our earth orbits the Sun, our moon has orbited us 13 times. The 13-moon, 28-day count is an ancient, universal, harmonic measure. If you close your eyes and feel this, you will feel the balance with nature that this brings to your being.

The 13 Moon Galactic Calendar has come to us in large part through the teachings and visionary work of Dr. Jose Arguelles.

Each day of this 13 Moon Annual Calendar is synchronized with the 260-day Galactic Overlay. This galactic overlay is composed of 20 solar frequencies, shown as Glyphs, moving in 13-day cycles called Tones, providing a mental and spiritual focus for each day. Using the Glyph and Tone of the day and the code words for each, the calendar shows you how to construct the “Dreamspell Affirmation.”

These affirmations are a focus unifying people in over 90 countries, powerfully activating “global synchronization of our intentions.” The meditation is to be felt through the vibration. It is not meant to be understood by the analytical mind.

This calendar is a beautiful, fascinating work that I have explored and studied for several years now. I love the feel of the natural rhythms and I love to think of thousands of people every day exploring the same energies of higher frequencies through the Glyphs and Tones of the day.

So it is that we come to the title and purpose of this article. The new year of this 13 Moon Galactic Calendar always begins July 26th of the Gregorian calendar. Whatever Glyph and Tone occur on this day set the tone and energies of the new year ahead. Thus from July 26, 2016 we have been in the year of Blue Spectral Storm.

The year of Storm. Who knew we would be battered about like so much flotsam? Have you been through wildly raging emotions? Who knew we could even experience such extremes from ecstatic bliss (the eye of the storm) to the rage of wind and rain as it pummeled us and shook loose every belief we held dear and through which we structured our life?

Having experienced all of this in my own life, I look around and I see it everywhere. I hear others ranting like a crazy person or sobbing that they feel as if a part of their soul has been lost. I look at the elections in the U.S. this past November and observe in shock the vicious attacks being engineered against one person.

The Year of the Storm. Life is a mosaic of pieces. Very much like a jigsaw puzzle we carefully put the pieces together, working to form the picture we hold in our mind. We hold this picture through our belief system. With gale force winds, this year blew through my life and tossed that jigsaw puzzle into a thousand pieces. Every spiritual belief, every understanding of Truth got blown into a whirlwind. Then the rain pounded on it. Lightning lit everything in a flash and thunder rolled over all of it with a roar.

Blue Spectral Storm. I don’t really need to define Storm. Everyone knows and has experienced this energy. Spectral is the Tone of the year. It is number 11 of 13 and the energies are the dynamic of dissonance. How’s that for magnifying Storm energy? Spectral power dissolves, releases, liberates.

So here we are, almost at the end of Blue Spectral Storm. Thank you, God. What a ride it has been! Although I would not want to do it again, there is a small part of me that is sad to see it go. That part of me appreciates what it accomplished.

I stand bedraggled, battered and bruised, my concept of self shaken. As I look around me, I see the jigsaw pieces of the puzzle of my life. I see a new picture that I am to put together. The old concepts have fallen away. The old me is now gone.

Out of Chaos Comes Renewal

Out of chaos comes renewal. Everyone loves the smell of the air after a rainstorm. It is clean, fresh. The earth awakens again. The birds come out to sing. The Sun, as Annie says, does come out tomorrow.

Our new Galactic Year is starting this July 26, 2017.

The new year is called Yellow Crystal Seed. The seeds of renewal. Seeds contain the power of life; the power of potential. We have the power to reseed our creation, our vision of life. Crystal energy brings a model of cooperation and a complex stability. It calls us to universalize, to translate our knowledge and insights, to assist in the elevation of the common good.

After the storm, we are called to rethink, to renew, to reach for a higher understanding. We are called to see the universal picture and our role in the coherent formation of the sacred circle.

The jigsaw puzzle no longer is laid out on the table. It is a moving, living, 3-D model. Like a hologram, it is huge, complex, detailed. It is incredibly beautiful and it is full of light! Watching it move, change, and expand as it reflects my life, thoughts, and beliefs is amazingly exciting.

Choose the seeds you will sow in this new year and let the energies of cooperation and universal synthesis weave together in your own puzzle of life. May you be blessed this new year with flowering and awareness.

Reflections

by Dreama Vance

WinterSolsticeIn December of 2012, Spiritual Dynamics held our first Deep Soul Access course in conjunction with preparation for the 2012 Gateway on Winter Solstice. This was a deeply spiritual time when many across the planet were in meditation for the transformative energy of the planet. I seemed to live mostly from the fourth level of consciousness during those three weeks, barely aware of daily living happening at our third level of consciousness. It was a magical time as the Earth stepped into that Gateway.

As a result of this experience, Winter Solstice has become my favorite day of the year. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice is December 21st.

It is the day when Yin energy is at its peak and calls us to move into inner reflection.

YinYangYin and Yang energy are the two basic energies. They are polar opposites and come together to create everything in our universe. They are constantly transitioning. When one is strongest, the other is weakest. This only happens two times a year. As one energy reaches its peak and tips over, the other energy then begins to grow and strengthen. The switching point is a very powerful time.

As Yin energy reaches its strongest point on Winter Solstice we are drawn by the energy to experience our inner wisdom, to delve into the deep mysteries of the inner planes.

Take time on this December 21st to walk through the beauty of your life during the past year. Look at what you have accomplished and see how you have progressed in your journey.

In qigong I have learned there is no “wrong” way to practice; there is only good, better, and best. I have learned to apply that concept throughout my life. When you review this past year, I hope you will utilize this concept of good, better and best as you assess your progress. There is no failure and no wrong. If you even gave thought to change in a positive direction, this is good.

For the last four years in my work with the Masters, I have been told of the importance of juicing and the importance of using the essential oils from Young Living. This is why I began to teach and write articles about these topics.

As we move into higher frequencies, it is important that we lighten the physical body. One of the things happening now on the planet is we are receiving more light. In order to hold this light and this energy, we can assist the body by eating lighter foods and what I call cleaner foods. These are foods that do not clog the body. They are easy to digest; they are high in water content and, therefore, are cleansing by nature. These are fruits and vegetables in there natural uncooked state.

Fresh juice, unpasteurized, is one of the easiest and best ways to consume these foods. They are nutrient dense and the body absorbs these quickly and easily.

So, when the Masters began to give me this information, I had to start working on this. I had to get serious about what they were telling me. I had been juicing for years, but it was “occasional” juicing… when it was convenient. Now that the Masters were giving me this information with repeated frequency, I decided to start doing some juice fasting and to start juicing on a regular basis.

This is how I discovered Jason Vale and his quarterly juice fasts. I am amazed as I review my year, that I participated and completed every one of his juice fasts this year. Additionally, I have, for the past several months, been very successful at daily juicing 32 ounces of vegetable juice. Even when time is short and I need to be running out the door in the morning, I manage to juice at least a quart (i.e. 32 ounces or 1 liter) of mixed citrus juices to take on the go.

Why am I telling you about my success? Because if I can do this, anyone can do this.

It is a fabulous thing to do for your body and your health. But even more important is the fact that, yes, it does make a difference in your spiritual growth. It is the same with the essential oils. Will you see a difference if you juice just once or use an oil once? Probably not, although some people have had life changing experiences with one application of a Young Living essential oil, so I’m not saying it can’t happen. But usually it is something you become aware of over a period of time. Clarity begins to happen. Your emotions begin to balance out. Your focus changes. What seemed important becomes not so important after all and you find yourself seeking quiet time, seeking contemplation. You find yourself wanting less clutter in your life and less noise in your mind.

As the feminine Yin energy reaches its peak on December 21st and then begins to lessen, the Yang energy starts to grow.

In beautiful synchronicity, another key event occurs on December 20th this year. The 260-day Tzolkin calendar, one of the Mayan calendars, restarts on December 20th. This is the energy of rebirth and a new cycle of galactic energy. Each 260-day cycle is a sacred cycle of creation and is a spiral voyage in time that reflects the human gestational period. This galactic calendar spins in ongoing 260-day spiraling cycles perpetually. The Solstice will magnify these beginning, birthing energies, thus making this the perfect time to reflect on our past successes and the perfect time to reflect on new beginnings. It is the time to dream our visions and choose our desires for manifestation during this next ascending evolutionary spiral of galactic spin.

First, reflect on what you have accomplished. Then, reflect on the potential within you to create. Visualize these energies you want to bring into manifested form. Then you will be ready to move into action, as the Yang energy begins to grow and the new spiral of galactic energies begin once again.

The World Healing Technique

by Owen K Waters

Try the World Healing Technique now and see what a difference it makes to your spiritual life, both immediately and, as a reaction, in the following days.

There’s nothing quite as uplifting as starting your day by sending healing energy to the world. It brightens your day and makes it feel good to be alive.

Sit upright, preferably with your hands resting in your lap, palms facing upwards. Breathe rhythmically and evenly. Close your eyes and turn away from your everyday thoughts by letting your attention focus on your breath. Whenever you notice your thoughts wandering, peacefully turn away from those thoughts, which can always be dealt with later, and return to focusing on your breath.

Recognize your spiritual nature. Know that you are a spiritual being living in a physical world and ask God or the universal Spirit for the life energy that you are about to use. Give gratitude to the Creator for universal life energy, for everything that you love about your life, and for existence itself. This connection to higher consciousness will amplify your efforts many times.

Take several breaths. With each in-breath, visualize life energy building into a vibrant white light within you and charging every cell of your being with its life-giving energy.

First, visualize the positive change that you want to bring into being in the world. Even though you are healing something that you perceive as negative, it is important to focus, instead, on the desired positive outcome. If you send energy to something negative, you will amplify its power. By sending energy conditioned for a positive outcome, you make that form of healing possible.

For example, in your mind’s eye, instead of a world suffering from strife, visualize the people of the world at peace. When you think of world peace, what is the first symbol that springs to mind – a crowd of happy children, a world without borders? Use that symbol, or, if pictures don’t easily come to mind, simply use the words, world peace, as the focus for your intention.

Or, instead of seeing spiritual ignorance and the suffering that it prolongs, visualize people who are becoming enlightened by spiritual understanding. Use the first picture that comes to mind or the words, world enlightenment.

Or, as another example, instead of seeing people displaced and distraught from a recent catastrophe, you could see aid workers being successful in their efforts to bring relief and medical assistance to those people, or use the words, energy to the aid workers.

Now, we’re ready to use the inbreath-outbreath cycle to transmit healing energy for the specified purpose. With every inbreath, see your lungs being filled with the vibrant white light of universal life energy.

With every outbreath, send the power of this love and light out to humanity. Direct it as a beam of brilliant white light from your heart chakra out into the world, holding the intention of healing.

Perform this as a series of inbreaths and outbreaths for as long as you wish, then relax and spend some time in the afterglow of a spiritual mission well accomplished.

These are the days of action, and that means service to others. Even better, your service to others also helps you in your own spiritual enlightenment. Action and reaction are opposite and equal.

Every time you send your light out into the world, you take another step forward towards your own enlightenment.

The World Healing Technique in summary

Sit upright with your eyes closed.
Make a spiritual connection, one which includes gratitude for life.
Intend world healing by visualizing the desired positive outcome.
Breathe in life energy with each inbreath.
On each outbreath, repeat your intention and send a beam of white light from your heart to your intended destination.
