Vibrational Harmony

Grow in Love

If you can grow in love, you will grow in awareness. If you grow in awareness, you will grow in love. ~Osho

 

Summer Solstice

 Summer Solstice, sometimes known as Midsummer, Litha, or St. John's Day, occurs in the middle of June.  It is a celebration of the longest day of the year and the beginning of Summer. It has been a grand tribal gathering time since ancient times and the solstice itself has remained a special moment of the annual cycle of the year since Neolithic times.

Midsummer is the time when everything is abundant and flourishing. Flowers smell their sweetest, colors are their most vibrant, trees are their greenest, and berries are their sweetest.  Midsummer is the time of strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and blackberries. New potatoes, lettuce, peas, carrots, radishes and onions are ready for picking.

Foods and decorations center around what nature has bestowed, rich, colorful and flavorful - mint iced teas, dandelion salads, strawberry shortcakes, geranium leaf sorbet, berry pies, daisy chains, lavender wreaths, rosemary garlands. The pure enjoyment that only summer fresh foods, sweet summer flowers and joyful company that only midsummer can bestow.

Midsummer Eve is the evening of herbs. The herbs and flowers gathered this night are considered exceptionally potent. St John's wort, burdock, thorn, and nettle harvested on Midsummer Eve are hung on doors and windows and placed around the home for protection. Bonfires were lit to protect against evil spirits, which were believed to roam freely when the sun was turning southwards again. It is a festival of community sharing and planetary service. 

Make a pledge to Mother Earth of something that you will do to improve the environment, have a magical gift exchange with friends, form your own drum circle and dance around a blazing bonfire.  Connect with people by exchanging songs, photos, and stories either in person or through the mail.  This season shows us the beauty of life, the intensity of being, the possibilities of creation and the surprising tenderness of love.  Celebrate Summer!

The Claddagh

The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).  Claddagh Rings are still a vital expression of romance and commitment. The symbol of the claddagh was given to signify the handing over of your heart to your mate. 

Love is being stupid together. ~Paul Valery

Twelve Signs of Your Awakening Divinity

 By Geoffrey Hoppe and Tobias

Shaumbra means: Family and Deep Inner Friendship!

1. Body aches and pains, especially in the neck, shoulder and back. This is the result of intense changes at your DNA level as the "Christ seed" awakens within. This too shall pass.

2. Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories,energy and experiences of the old house. This too shall pass.

3. Crying for no apparent reason. Similar to #2 above. It’s good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within. This too shall pass.

4. Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don’t worry about finding the "perfect" job or career right now. This too shall pass. You’re in
transition, and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion.

5. Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in the new energywithout the karmic attachments.

6. Unusual sleep patterns. It’s likely that you’ll awaken many nights between 2:00?4:00 a.m. There’s a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a "breather." Not to worry. If you can’t go back to sleep, get up and do something rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things. This too shall pass.

7. Intense dreams. These might include war and battle dreams, chasedreams or monster dreams. You are literally releasing the old energywithin, and these energies of the past are often symbolized as wars, running to escape and boogeyman. This too shall pass.

8. Physical disorientation. At times you’ll feel very ungrounded. You’ll be "spatially challenged" with the feeling like you can’t put two feet on the ground or that you’re walking between two worlds. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, you body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within. This too shall pass.

9. Increased "self talk." You’ll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You’ll suddenly realize you’ve been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you’re experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You’re not going crazy, you’re just Shaumbra moving into the new energy.

10. Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to "flee" groups and crowds. As Shaumbra, you are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that your Guides have departed. They have been with you on all of your journeys in all of your lifetimes. It was time for them to back away so you could fill your space with your own divinity. This too shall pass. The void within will be filled with the love and energy of your own Christ consciousness.

11. Loss of passion. You may feel totally disimpassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. That’s okay, and it’s just part of the process. Take this time to "do no-thing." Don’t fight yourself on this, because this too shall pass. It’s similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software, or in this case, the new Christ-seed energy.

12. A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a "suicidal" feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don’t want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or other. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body. During this transition process, you have inner remembrances of what it is like to be on the other side. Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed, you could go Home right now. But you’ve come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into the new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the oldenergy into the new. The path you’re walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone.

THIRTEEN PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

1. Truth

Be sincere in your speaking. Don't say anything; at least have proof of what you say.

2. Agility

Make use of your time. What must be done, do it immediately. Time is too valuable to be wasted.

3. Diligence

Make decisions consciously. Decide what it is that you must do and then do it with enthusiasm. In case of doubt, ask for advice. Don't stay in a state of confusion.

4. Respect

Be very careful with the feelings of other people. Every human being is precious, having been made in the image of God. Be, therefore, kindly toward everyone.

5. Tranquility

Don't let small things take away your tranquility. Preserve the calm, stay serene. Show calmness in everything that you do.

6. Serenity

Remember King Solomon's advice: "The wise man's words are said quietly". Wise men speak slowly. Encourage this habit; they will understand you and you will understand yourself better.

7. Hygiene

It is important to maintain your personal hygiene; clothing, house, car, and public places [should be] clean. Respect highly your body, as well as your clothing.

8. Patience

It is necessary that you cultivate patience, regardless of your situation. There is a time for everything in life; don't get in a hurry.

9. Order

It is important to concentrate on whatever you do, without distraction. Keep each thing in its respective place. Avoid loss of time and patience. Manage your time and your objectives in an orderly way. Plan and organize; in that way you will fulfill your projects with success.

10. Humility

Recognize your own limitations, and ignore your neighbor's errors. Learn from everyone. Every person has some knowledge or virtue that we do not have. You aren't perfect.

11. Integrity

Remember: "Don't do to others what is disagreeable with you". The one who loves and practices Justice is just, and his conscience is clean. Always do what is right, especially with respect to your obligations.

12. Restraint

Remember what Ben Zoma (a Jewish scholar of the early 2nd century) taught: "Who is rich? The one who is satisfied with what he has". Money is to be used, not loved. It is a means and not an end in itself. Don't waste money unnecessarily. To other people it will be of vital importance.

13. Silence

Judge the value of your words before speaking. Speech is one of the most powerful weapons. It is a weapon characteristic only of humans. Silence is an expression of wisdom. Think before you speak, and don't speak unless you have something important to say.
