The Breath of the Universe

We can entrust the wind to carry our voices out into the world, knowing it will be carried to its perfect destination. We can connect ourselves with a basic force of nature by focusing on the essential element of air during a wind meditation. To begin we center ourselves on our breath. We inhale the life-giving force, feeling it fill us, and then releasing it into the world letting our breath mingle with the breath of nature. If we cannot feel the wind right now, we can recall times when the wind has sent us gifts of caresses on bare skin, ruffling our clothes and playing with our hair. We can evoke sounds carried on the wind, maybe laughter or song, or perhaps just the wind’s own voice through the trees or across the landscape of our ears. Maybe we summon up an image of falling flowers or leaves from above, with vivid colors being set free with the wind’s encouragement. We may envision birds drifting on unseen currents with wings unbent, or flags and banners unfurled in the breeze. The scent of a sea breeze may come to mind, or the aromas of freshly baked treats or fragrant blooms that reach us from a distance.



As these memories enliven our senses, we’re feeling the vital force that surrounds and animates us. We can look to the trees to sway in time with nature’s rhythm. Just as we can be soothed by the wind, we know that nature has great power. In a rush it can, block out all sound, leaving us with only the beating of our hearts.

Wind can even make the inanimate dance and whirl as graceful as a Willow Tree. With a gentle sigh, the wind has carried sailors to faraway lands and balloons to great heights. We can entrust the wind to carry our voices and best wishes out into the world, or up to Grandfather, always knowing it will be carried to its perfect destination. Releasing these precious offerings to its care, we remember that nature’s power is as close as our breath, and we breathe deeply once again before returning to the world around us.

Dksha

Dksha
Permanent Enlightenment

A divine energy transfer` known as Dksha‘, is obtained from those specifically gifted and trained to offer it.

Dksha is a Sanskrit word, meaning benediction or invocation of divine help, a divine energy transfer. Described as a golden ball of energy descending into the head, this energy activates a shift in the brain, allowing you to realize your oneness with all creation. This is the true meaning of “enlightenment”. It is a state of mind in constant recognition of the reality of oneness. The cause of the majority of suffering in the world is a sense of separation from the world, each other, and from our source. The pure energy transferred through dksha helps you realize that the sense of a separate self is an illusion. Once in this higher state of consciousness, it is permanent.

To experience the divine energy transfer of dksha, you do not need to change your lifestyle or make any vows. It is not limited to followers of any one religion, nor does it come with rules for the practice of a set of rituals. The state of mind attained with dksha is not one that is through personal effort. Only someone specifically trained can activate the various centers in the brain with their energy, initiating the process of change that allows an intelligent flow of cosmic energy to elevate you into an altered state, restructuring the brain and awakening the seeker to the awareness of wholeness and oneness. Since it is a biological event, anyone can experience it.

Though enlightenment does not happen instantly for everyone, lives have changed significantly in terms of overall happiness, a capacity for love, and a sense of peace. Those who have attained enlightenment say, it is not a mystical state that takes you out of this world, it allows you to experience the divine in everyday life. Because of this, each time another person accepts dksha and raises their consciousness, all of us move toward the ultimate goal of uplifting the consciousness of humanity to one of connection and unity. Dksha is a step in the universal enlightenment of all creation.

So what!

So, this week has been a wrestling match with my health. I had hoped I would be able to glide through it with ease. Instead there was a bout with some intestinal thing that lasted for the week. By Friday, I was dehydrated and looking for the great fountain of healing. Nettie and I were busy with the many little things that can be a blessing or plague one's life. For us, it usually is a small set of learning's and blessings...not this week. Staying close to the home safe rooms meant we went very few places and yet, I was able to meet with my writing group in Portland, and my spiritual group in Vancouver. Portland has two more lesson meetings left and Vancouver will be an on going series of learning exercises in the ways for Healing any and everything. It fits into my life work as a Healer and Elder in the Metis Nation of the U.S.. This I am very humble about.

I was able to help with church today, beating in honor of the Four Directions as we opened the Mass for the People. I am now looking for a group of First Nation and Metis (mix-bloods) men and boys that would like to drum at least once a month. I have been approached by one woman to see if there could be a monthly mixed drum group for anyone who would like to participate in free drumming. I will need to fix my thoughts on that possibility and pray about it. Mother Vicky is interested in having a Drum Circle once or more than once a month. She understands she may not be allowed to attend the Circle. She is very interesting person and quite spiritual. I am studying the Book of Acts in the New Testament.
Right now that goes along with my studies with The Order Of St. Luke the Physician (OSL).

I have found that the older I get the more I want to search for my spiritual roots. There was a time that my thoughts wandered away from all non-tangible life. From me early childhood and through my teen years, well into my adult life, I found any non-tackle forms of being were too uncomfortable for me. Viet-Nam did not help a bit. Too much distraction and there seemed to be no cure for what was going on and the god's were too busy to engage in the solution of War and Death. I had lost all hope in there even being a god to rely on.

It has taken almost 50 years to even entertain the idea of a Living God and what he expects ME to do about War and lack of Love in the world. Healing can truly occur when many minds come together with a focus on one thing. IF the few who gather are not able to heal the wound, then more must be added until there is enough praying People to make the difference in our Worldly Living. Things can be changed by the influence of Healing Prayer of a common goal.

I will expound on this another time. Right now, I need to move out of here and see IF I can find people who would be willing to help change the world for the better.

Peace and Harmony,
Rocco

The Mind Follows no Time Line

Try to learn something new this week. This keeps our energy active which affects not only you, but those around you as well.


The talents that intrigue us the most oftentimes seem to exist just outside the reach of our grasp, even though we are all capable of mastering new crafts and skills. Life has a tendency to intervene in our best-laid plans, and it is easy to sacrifice a dream when facing unrelated obligations. We may also feel that we are too set in our ways to absorb fresh skills or that doing so would ultimately prove a valueless undertaking. However, learning is, first and foremost, an exercise of the mind. To learn, we must first truly believe we can learn and that the abilities we gain as a result will serve to enrich our lives. Once we do, we discover that education and practice inspire us and awaken us to a whole new range of possibilities.

When you challenge yourself by committing to master a new pursuit, you affirm your belief that neither chronology nor fear need be an impediment to your growth. You comprehend the value of learning, the interest it adds to your day-to-day experiences and the creativity it inspires within you. Being a beginner can be hard, and you may find yourself tempted to give up, but try not to let yourself become self-conscious. If you are revisiting an activity you enjoyed in childhood, you may take in information more slowly than you once did or you may pick it up again like it was yesterday. The simple fact that you are pursuing a path because you want to, means that your determination will give you the strength to cope with any difficulties. Your ability to work toward an goal will be heightened by your sincere desire to grow as an individual.

Try learning something new this week. What have you always wanted to do? Take a dance class, learn to sail, knit a sweater, sculpt—whatever you choose, your life will be enriched with fun, new friends and the pride of trying something new.
