"A large part of my work with Starseeds is in assisting them in creating Holy Angelic Ritual Space. There has been a shift in the work recently that I need to tell you about that is relevant to this subject. 

Before I get into that please note that sacred space is somewhere where we separate from the daily chores of our everyday life in order to connect with the light and Infinite Intelligence within and also with the light and Infinite Intelligence in others and in the Universe around us. 
We can find sacred space by visiting holy or magical places in the world such as Mount Shasta in the US and Avebury in the UK. There are many holy and magical places found all over the world that hold a special energy that assists in meditation and achieving certain states of consciousness. 

Yet, we do not have to travel long distances to find sacred space, we can create sacred space in our homes or in a local spot in nature. If you are creating sacred space in your home then this is a place that you dedicate to silence and meditation. You can fill this space with spiritual symbols, plants, and anything that uplifts and soothes your spirit. You can even create a sacred altar in this space where you can burn incense or light a candle. The important thing about this space is that you imbue it with your energy while in meditation. 

In this space you might even call angelic light into the walls, floor, ceiling, door, windows and all objects and furnishings. In this way you invite a higher light into the space to protect it from outside lower energies. 

In my meditations and transmissions I include calling angelic light into the space to protect the space. My meditations and transmissions are intended to create sacred space not only in a dedicated space in your home but also to create a sacred space in your energy field so that you can take this space wherever you go.....

For folks who haven't tried breathwork before, here's a quick primer. Read it before jumping in :)

The breathing technique is very simple. You lie flat on your back (if you have lower back problems, you can prop your knees up, but try to keep the head flat on the mat/floor/bed to keep the throat open). Hands at your sides, palms up.

The breathing is all through the mouth and is in three parts:

INHALE to the belly
INHALE to the chest
EXHALE

If you place one hand on your belly and one on the chest, the lower hand should rise with the first inhale, the upper hand rises with the second inhale and both fall with the exhale. 

The exhale is more a release than a forceful action. Basically a sigh.

And that's it.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch.

Enjoy!

Ram Dass on Karma Yoga

Ram Dass explores dealing with the mechanics of thoughts rather than the actual content of the thoughts themselves. He talks about how it can be helpful to combine a meditation practice with working with a therapist.

There's nothing quite like the morning... and it's always morning somewhere along this sacred Earth.

Upon this family tree, stretching upwards towards the Sun, like the birds, we human siblings are each singing our own unique, perfect note in the grand symphony of life awakening, to reflect the many brilliant colors on the spectrum of light.

As we as a species enter our collective spring into the dawning of the Golden Age, where all is rising up to the surface to be illuminated and revealed in the magnificence which this earth has nurtured as sacred, even when we, still sleeping, forgot how to see... that we are dreaming.

These songs here are all near and dear to my heart, many of which have been with me since the very beginning of, and even before my personal awakening journey over the past decade - but which still feel as fresh today. There are classics here from around the world in my book, as well as newer releases blossoming with the rise of multi-cultural, medicinal electronic and house music.

Play this first thing when you wake up, when the day is open with the timeless space to breathe, smile, stretch - and still infinitely dream and be filled with the prayers of healing and illumination being played by the exquisite global heart-beat dancing within the space in your heart, to songs from Israel, South America, Peru, The Middle East, Africa, Asia, and more...

Whether still meditating in bed, singing to your cacao, smelling your coffee, stretching to the sun, speaking to flowers on a walk, dancing ecstatically, or working forth into the life of your dreams - may the medicine of these melodies settle you into the “good mornings” with which all of life greets you to dance with and be danced by the rising Sun that you are, and that lives in all.

(For those of you that love some good ol fashion deep house ~ you get to have a fun little party starting at 2:00:00. Besides that, ethnic house will be found weaved in between chants and jams from all genres and styles throughout.)

Ram Dass on Transforming Fear and Denial Through Social Action

Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan has an unusual background -- studied mathematics at Harvard, became a Doctor of Oriental Medicine... Actually, nothing I could say about her can do justice to the stories she carries: about the soul's journey, the nature of life and death, illness and healing, and the vastness of human potential. I was on her podcast a couple months ago, and she has graciously returned the favor here. Also check out her new book, Super Wellness via http://www.superwellness.com/

Another podcast of Dr. Chan and Charles is available via http://www.dredithubuntu.com/thedreshow/our-great-initiation-into-the-more-beautiful-world-w-charles-eisenstein

A New & Ancient Story

Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan: A Trillion Points of Light (E50)

Our intention is to connect with the spirit of the forest and the medicine that it holds. Remember a time when you were deep in the forest, feet grounded on Mother Earth, the sound of a distant river running through the night, stars shining bright between the branches. Come and honor the forest and all the life it holds as we dance and move together.

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
