We are all one, and we grieve with you. This is a prayer for the souls who have departed. May you find your way home in peace. This is a prayer for the Earth Mother undergoing such intense transformation. We are your stewards, and we honor your process. This is a prayer for each of us as we awaken to the reality of Earth changes. We deeply mourn the human loss yet invite the shift of consciousness these changes represent. Like the events in the United States of September 11, 2001, the sudden, catastrophic loss of the past week offers an enormous opportunity to express love and compassion, to form deeper human bonds, and to increase our understanding of the transformational process sweeping our planet. We live in the times the Hopi call the Great Purification. The Mayan calendar ends in 2012. The world as we have known it is shifting into higher consciousness at a faster and faster rate every day. Part of this transformation involves adjustments within the Earth that result in the kinds of movement we experienced in the past week. Scientists tell us the 9.0 magnitude quake that created the deadly tsunami in the Indian Ocean actually shifted the Earth’s orbit and her rotation on her axis. Everyone on the planet was affected by the resulting shift in the Earth’s electromagnetic grid. We have felt this week’s changes in various ways. Many experienced lethargy, depression, emotional outbursts, disorientation, headaches and some more severe physical symptoms. Those who found themselves sleeping a lot were likely assisting in the transition of souls to the next plane and etheric healing work with survivors and loved ones. The Earth changes will intensify in coming years. Each of us has a responsibility to participate in our own way. For many who read this newsletter, our roles involve assisting others and the Earth with the transition. Perhaps our most effective contributions are prayer and meditation. Through prayer, we envision the Earth and all beings in balance and wholeness. Through meditation, we anchor higher consciousness in the Earth grid. “Learn to be still.” This is the way of peace. This is the way of healing. Our practice grows more important every day. On an individual level, we are all undergoing an accelerated process of transformation, just as the Earth is. We are also transforming collectively. When we reach out as individuals to those in need, we heal the illusion of separation and remember our oneness. When we reach out as nations to help the affected areas, we heal the divisiveness that has plagued human civilization for eons. This is healing on a transpersonal level Catastrophic events serve as catalysts to accelerate our transpersonal evolution. As we participate in and witness the outpouring of love and compassion to our fellow beings, we know deep within that divine orchestration is at hand, that human consciousness is evolving, and that peace will prevail. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Additional perspectives on this week’s events… Emergency Notice from Masaru Emoto in Japan http://www.masaru-emoto.net/english/ediary.html#urgent) (NOTE: Japan's Masaru Emoto is a pioneer in the study of the relationship between emotions and water, and how vibrational energy affects matter. His book, “The Messages of Water,” is considered a basis for vibrational medicine. His work is featured in the movie “What the Bleep Do We Know?”) In part, he writes: “As a Hado (vibration) researcher, I am truly worried about this disaster. As well as the hygiene issue, I feel that the vibrational fields of the countries have extremely deteriorated. The field is created by feelings of fear, grief, worry, lack of trust, anger, loneliness, and helplessness, and could energize the malevolent microorganisms that prefer this kind of environment. People cannot help but have these feelings, and they probably carry the feelings with them. Many people feel this way, and there seems to be some plundering going on, but their feeling of anger and hostility can only multiply the negativity of the field. Also, we must take into account the emergence of a new epidemic. We have to limit the negative field in any way possible. I believe that there is already a spreading Hado (vibration) of fear due to the terrorist attack and bombing, and it is like a gasoline station with an oil leak that is about to explode. What can we do? The only way is for people from all over the world to pray for the recovery of the affected area. The prayer will definitely carry far with the purity of its Hado. Therefore, from today, let’s close our eyes for a few second before our meal and send words of prayer to the countries. Let’s send a prayer for them before we go to sleep. Also, when we pray during the end of year and the new year ceremony, let us send a prayer first and foremost for world peace. Through the research of the water crystal over the last ten years, I have proven that people’s pure energy of consciousness can change the water in areas that people have prayed for, regardless of the distance. Also, the most effective Hado prayer is the feeling of Love and Thanks. Now is the time to send everyone's feeling of Love and Thanks to the earth's water.” And from Lee Carroll, author of the Kryon series (http:www.kryon.com): It's tough to say comforting things at a time of awful tragedy. In book ONE Kryon spoke of up to 1% of the population leaving as a potential of the earth changes in these end times. He later said that this number was revised and not so high, but here it is happening. To us, the numbers are very high. He also says that our consciousness is changing it, so it is not unexpected, and there will be more (according to Kryon). It's part of a shift that many have predicted that includes earthquakes, volcanoes, and yes... man-made events as well. It has been the theme of the Kryon books. Many find it hard to accept the reality of disaster, but it's not new. Earthquakes in our century have taken up to 10,000 lives in on single event. But we forget, or are overwhelmed by the immensity and can't comprehend the loss. Now, from this one event, over 70,000 (plus) have left the planet and the body count continues to grow daily. In our culture, we track every missing person and agonize over each death. It's often not comprehendible when we are faced with this kind of tragedy. With the world's population increasing and many of them living near the ocean, these types of events should not be unexpected. For decades, scientists have been warning us of the possibilities, yet it is still difficult to comprehend the sorrow and shock that affects thousands of lives when it happens. For us, it's one life at a time. Part of the Human process is to honor and cherish life in general. One of the themes of Kryon from the beginning is that when these things happen, the earth changes, and therefore those that pass over, and immediately come back, do so with the understanding of helping the planet in ways we cannot do in life. Honestly, very few want to die to help planet Earth. We all wish to STAY and help planet Earth. Part of the duality is not knowing which way you have given permission to help. So, bless these who, at some level, knew the potentials of this and gave permission to leave. But right now, bless those of us who cry for them all. Kryon has told us that there is appropriateness in all things, even this kind of thing. On 911 he asked us to understand the passing of 3,000 lives in the midst of our sorrow. Now he asks us to do the same with those who have died in the last days. He says, "There are many happy faces coming in at the moment (speaking of those coming home). The ones who need your care are those left to bear the burden of sorrow. There is more here than meets the eye of the Human, and there is purpose and grandeur even in this seeming Human tragedy." "In a place you cannot conceive of, there is a party happening," according to Kryon. But for now, we pick up the pieces because we see each life lost as a shattered world. Perhaps there will come a day when we can have greater wisdom that will temper our emotions during these kinds of things? I don't think so, and hope not. Let those on the other side give us comfort, but part of our humanness is the outpouring of love and help for those in other lands who don't even speak our language. We need a time of mourning. It helps those who are struggling and even those who are not. For we all draw closer together. Those we lost in the last few days are part of the grand process of bringing us together, another step in the long and difficult process of bringing peace on Earth. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Planetary Alignments Update +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Astrologically, the new year begins with the New Moon in Capricorn on January 10. So January 1-10 offers a window of opportunity to set intentions and work with the incoming energies of 2005. At the Aquarius Full Moon on January 25, it’s time for evaluation of our progress and forging ahead with plans and projects. New Moon in Capricorn -- January 10 7:03 a.m. EST; 12:03 p.m. GMT This New Moon is all about business in the serious, work-oriented sign of Capricorn. What are our plans and goals not only for this lunar cycle, but for the coming year? Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, is opposite the moon, sun and Chiron at this lunation, compelling us to evaluate issues of responsibility, contribution, boundaries and long-term healing. This New Moon also squares Jupiter, opening us to new possibilities, and perhaps expanding our perceptions of work and responsibility. This New Moon squares the Libra New Moon solar eclipse on October 13, 2004, which focused on partnership, equality and balance. Now we evaluate commitments, contracts and beliefs in line with the growth we’ve experienced since October. Sun opposed Saturn -- January 13 Saturn conjunct Chiron -- January 16 We have another opportunity to commit to our intentions on January 13 when the Sun opposes Saturn. We’ll be reviewing and revitalizing our sense of purpose, and exploring new forms for our destiny to take shape. Saturn’s influence continues this week as he moves to conjoin Chiron in Capricorn. This annual conjunction is an opportunity to heal old wounds and balance karma. Full Moon in Leo-Aquarius -- January 25 5:32 a.m. EST; 10:32 a.m. GMT Aspects at this Full Moon propel us toward progress in areas of our life that are ripe for change. With the Sun in Aquarius, we’ll strive to show our uniqueness while holding a higher vision for the collective. At the previous New Moon, we set our goals and intentions. This lunation marks the completion of a cycle and urges us to move forward. The degrees of this Full Moon form a square to the lunar eclipse on October 27, 2004. What have we learned in the past three months, and how are we applying this knowledge to our path now? Mars conjunct Pluto -- January 28 Transpersonal Pluto aligns with warrior Mars once every two years, urging us to face our shadow, step into our power and act on our truth. When Mars is involved, unresolved anger and conflict may emerge. The path of mastery at this conjunction is to acknowledge and integrate the shadow issues that surface without excess emotion, and move forward confidently on the path most aligned with our truth. Both planets catalyze positive change through intensity, and the effects of this conjunction will be felt for weeks before and after. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2005 Alignments Preview +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In each issue of the Alignments Newsletter, we focus on significant planetary alignments in the coming month. Here’s a brief overview of the alignments for 2005. Each of these, and others, will be described fully in upcoming issues. Mercury Retrograde During Mercury Retrograde periods, communications, transportation and things mechanical are affected. These times are more suited to retreat and re-evaluation than launching new projects or signing contracts.
