With the Planetary wake-up call of the summer with the continuing effect of Pluto's transit through Capricorn, which began back in 2008 and will continue until 2023, reflecting to us the consequences of our having trusted that governments had our back, so to speak. The reality of this planetary influence has highlighted the predicament we have found ourselves in - Katrina being a precursor to this - that we cannot sustain that which is unsustainable. We see it again with the floods currently happening in Pakistan. Today officials are asking 500,000 more Pakistanis to leave their homes because of new flooding.
The reality, we don't have much choice in this intensity except in our attitudes and choices in face of these Earth shifts. We can work toward a new sense of compassion for those in need, we can take the time to be present to our own feelings about what is happening not only in the world but also in our own lives. We can just love each other more- we can find within ourselves the best part of our natures and use these experiences for our individual healing of that which has been unethical for so long.
This is a time for personal accountability to do the work of healing and clearing and consciousness is supporting us in that process. If we see ourselves as victims of it then we have missed the opportunity for growth.
Remember what we see out in the world is just a reflections of what we are holding within.

Life goes on
Living in choice during challenging times like the death of a parent, at least for me, called for a more focused effort to stay present to each moment. I found myself wanting to run away, avoid, resist, be angry, get caught up in something other than the moment. When I noticed I was not living in choice, I reminded myself to breathe through my heart while I thought about the beauty of life as I was taught in HeartMath, causing a return to coherence in my heart rhythm. As my heart rate slowed and balanced, I found I could be present to my Mothers labored breathing as she fought to hold on to life.
In her last 6 months of life, following a stroke that paralyzed her ability to eat, walk, speak plainly, engage in activities, I was amazed at her ability to be pleasant to her caretakers, appreciating their efforts to make her comfortable. They loved her and she loved them back. She asked little of my sister and I, but was always happy to see us and always said "I love you."
She chose to live in choice at every breath - even to not take the next one.
She was a great teacher and role model and I will miss her physical presence, but I know she was ready for what comes next.

The Conscious Convergence
"The Conscious Convergence, July 17-18, is for those that are willing to set the intention to create unity consciousness in the ninth wave of the Mayan Calendar!" Carl Calleman
This weekend we all have an opportunity to intend the manifestation for all humanity unity consciousness. Go to http://www.calleman.com/articles/ninth_wave.htm for a full explanation of unity consciousness and why is it not only important, but imperative, that all humanity join in intending unity consciousness now.
We have been predicting for many years the important shift in consciousness that this time, now, holds for humanity. Well, now is here and it is time to take action.
Please, join humanity this weekend in ceremonial action to consciously intend unity consciousness. People all over the globe are creating ceremonies of the four direction to align with the Global World Tree, the dissiminator of consciousness. Calleman says, "Unity consciousness is not something that can hapen against the will of human beings. Expecially at the highest levels of evolution, such as the ninth, it can only happen through human beings that choose to serve as co-creators." "I believe however, that as the Hopi are saying, "we are the ones that we have been waiting for." If we make the commitment to do so we can co-cocreate unity consciousness with the ninth wave."

Grief
Years ago, in my Masters program, I studied death and dying - the great work of Elizabeth Kubler Ross and others. But it was a study and not an experience. I understood the words and applied them to earlier experiences with the death of my grandparents, brother, and numerous aunts and uncles and cousins. But even the closeness of those relationships and the lack of connection to my own emotional life made those events ones of trauma or even shock - eventually suppressed into the deeper recesses of my mind. With time and maturity and yes, even a little wisdom, I was much more able to be present in a loving and gentle way during the process of my father's dying two years ago. At times it took every fiber of my being to be present with him in his process rather than going into my own resistance to it.
Now, I am going through that process with my Mother. She was a vibrant 88 year old living alone in Jan. of this year. On Jan. 17th that all changed with a stroke paralyzing her left side and swallow reflex. She was aware and cognitively able to make the decision to put in a feeding tube. That is no longer working and is causing her more pain and suffering. So, the feeding is no longer an option and so her death is imminent - within the next couple of weeks.
Another opportunity to live through the process of being present to my Mother's process of leaving this world for the next experience in her journey. I can tell you that when I think about what her leaving means to me and what it brings up for me, I lose contact with being with her in a loving way. Even through my tears and sadness, if I keep my focus on the fact that "this is her process - not mine" I can be more lovingly present. I understand her process affects me in numerous ways. I know in the days to come I will want to pick up the phone to call her to share something that happened or a story I heard and realize half way through the reaching, I can no longer reach her that way.
I have had experiences where I know that my Dad was with me in spirit. He let me know through different ways - the smell of coffee (his favorite drink) when there wasn't any coffee brewing in the house. I have learned to "listen" for his presence and I know that I will have that same experience with Mom after she has left this physical world.
They have been powerful forces in my life, loving me and guiding me, in all ways. Some more effective than others and it has taken me many years to see that their efforts were always with love and in love even when it did not seem so to me.
I honor them both for all that they were and have been in all the years of my life. They have taught me to be strong when I needed to be and vulnerable when it served me more effectively. My Mother's belief in me - always telling me "You can do anything you put your mind to", supported me in my efforts to be more - as a human being able to be of service in ways I might never have been.

Mayan Tolzkin date 5 Kan (Seed)
The Tolzkin or the day calendar, called the Sacred Calendar by the Mayans in conjuction with the Tun Calendar or Galactic Calendar, was the central calendar for daily use. They understood that each day is influenced by galactic energies influenced by the The Tree of Life or Hunab ku in their language. They knew if they aligned with the prevaling energies each day, it was easier to accomplish their aim.
The energy of today, based on the Tolkin is 5 Kan or Seed, meaning that today is a good day for beginning new projects. It is a day of fertility and growth. It is a good day to break free of old patterns and beliefs. The energy of today is driven by the awareness of a need to change. It is a good day to take risks and try something new. It is an excellent day to spend in contemplating your intentions toward creating your dreams, or projects.
Take time to make new contacts - network or reconnect with those you have been meaning to call for a while and haven't.
This is not a good day to put things off or to spend time in apathy or feelings of insecurity or stagnation. Remember no one will do it for you.
Today is the day to take action.

Re-creation of the Global Tree of Life
July is filled with opportunity to set in motion intentions and energies that propel you into the coming consciousness of Unity and co-creation. A consciousness that has never been experienced by any previous human.
On July 17 and 18, a time referred to as the Conscious Convergence by Dr. Carl Calleman (author of The Purposeful Universe, The Mayan Calendar Code, etc.) and others who are asking people all over the globe to assist in recreating the energy of the Tree of Life. To quote Calleman, " Ancient traditions of our planet almost universally looked upon the four geographical directions as Sacred. The origin of this sacredness of the direction is that they, since the beginning of time, have played a rode in the ongoing creation of our planet and its evolution of consciousness. Naturally then, many peoples all over the world have performed ceremonies to honor these four directions. The four directions were thought to be associated with different spiritual qualities and so were often each symbolized by a guardian angel as described, for instance, in the Book of Revelation. From many traditions, such as the Mayan, it is also clear that the four (and sometimes six, if "above and below" is included) directions emanate from the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life is the most widespread of all ancient myths, and it was seen as the center of the four directions."

Nature
Living In Choice is a synergy of living energies flowing together in loving attendance.
The American Poet, Ralph Waldo Emmerson (1802-1882), beautifully described Nature in this excerpt from an address to his Divinity School.
"A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue. Thus he is instructed in what is above him. He learns that his being is without bound; that to the good, to the perfect, he is born, low as he now lies in evil and weakness. That which he venerates is still his own, though he has not realized it yet. He ought. He knows the sense of that grand word, though his analysis fails to render account of it. When in innocency or when by intellectual perception he attains to say, - "I love the Right; Truth is beautiful within and without for evermore. Virtue, I am thine; save me; use me; thee will I serve, day and night, in great, in small, that I may be not virtuous, but virtue"; then is the end of creation answered, and God is well pleased.
It is well to remember WE are not separate and apart from Nature - but are inseparable from it. She is in us and we in her!
