     Hi Y'All!!!   How have you been?  I have been having a GREAT time learning ALL KINDS of new tricks, meeting new folks, going new places and just generally having a GREAT SUMMER!

     Yesterday was the birthday of my big Leo Lion boy, Babboo...MEOW!  We went for a romp with the dogs by the river, and walked a nice trail on the skirts of town, then met downtown for some fancy cocktails at a new place on Broadway (You know those Leos and their star status...ruled by the SUN so they are sure that it is a spotlight on them....sigh.)

     So---there is much more to spill, perhaps I will get a moment to catch my breath and catch you up...it'll give you another something to look forward to, right?  

     Oh-BTW-Jupiter came out of retrograde on Monday...this will help us move on with our plans that seem to have been put on hold for a couple of months now...LOOK BUSY!

     And another week slips into the history books...somewhere someone is having an epic adventure while we remain here holding down the fort.  My epic adventure for this summer seems to be all about ACTUALLY owning this piece of time and space that I have chosen to inhabit in this lifetime.   I feel as though I have been learning to come down and actually be IN this body-as opposed to being in the place where I kind of just spin around about the head and shoulders and try to figure out what the hell I actually came here for. (You know, like going into the next room for something and not remembering why...)  

   Some people experience quite the opposite and are so grounded that they do not think beyond what is immediately available.  That can be a great place to be.  Bloom where you are planted, and cast your seeds into the wind...let the birds fly it high and the bees make their sweet honey.  I am guessing that true happiness is found in the in between...the place where our ideas and intentions match the physical energy required to achieve them.  It is very true that the quality of the energy that you have available comes directly from the quality of energy that you eat, live and breathe...I guess the best I can do is keep making better choices every day.  Such is the path...

     Today is the full moon in Aquarius while the sun sits in Leo.  Leo is the house of Self.  Aquarius is the house of Hopes, Wishes and Friends.  Get in touch with yours~and STEP AWAY FROM THE BOX.  Aquarius is also the sign of the UNIQUE...EXPRESS YOURSELF!!!  You ROCK!

     So a couple of weeks ago I wrote about some of the second chakra things that were going on in my immediate circle of friends and family and it just didn't stop there.  A little more than a week ago I got the intuition to call a friend of mine in St. Louis only to find that she was very ill and it was my phone call that prompted her to get to the hospital.  She is in ICU, with some very serious issues, but at this point she will probably be out in a couple more days...we have to wait and see what may linger.  I have Angels on the case...

      This particular friend of mine has had a litany of health problems and I have done energy work for her for years.  It can be kind of frustrating when  you are giving people tools for health and well being and they do not want to do it for themselves.  Imagine what the Universe thinks about the way WE OURSELVES listen (or don't) to it....sigh...I pray that I can begin to see the answers as they come to me...because they ALWAYS come. 

     Like I said the other day, the more I learn, the more I am finding that I am able to let in the light and get answers for myself.  This does not always mean that others will listen.  Perhaps it is for my ears alone.  It seems that we all have our own way to process the information that we are given on any given day.  I have been having lessons in Faith, and lessons in Beliefs and the power of, and have been watching miracles happen before my own eyes...and in my own body.  It seems like I have so much to say to you all, but when I sit down to do it, there is this flood and I am overwhelmed with the power of all that is being actualized at that moment...and the only thing that I can muster is....

 Ommmmmmmmmmmm.............

Hold that thought.

     Good Morning.  My Mandala calender is telling me that today is the annual first day of the teaching of the Buddha in Sarnath.  I'm not sure exactly what that means, but hey...we are all here to learn!

     I am looking at the date of my last post and I cannot believe that it has been since 777.  Sigh.

     I hope that all has been well.  It is truly a time of major shifting and transformation for the whole species at this time.  I hope that people are really asking themselves "what is it that I can do to help?"  I also keep wanting to know "how can I do it better for everybody." 

     It is very important to me to make sure that I am not making a mess that someone else has to clean up-yet there are many things that are still so out of my hands, and probably always will be.  I do not have much to do with where much of my food comes from (though we have amazing farmer's markets and local foods).  I do not use Bio-Diesel, or ride a bike as often as I know that I could.  I do take my cart back into the grocery store, recycle, and am a thrifty thrifter.  When I am faced with a choice I try to choose the lowest impact.

     Yesterday there was a planetary meditation at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time.  That meant 4:11am here in the PNW.  I programmed myself to do it while I was asleep and add my vibration to the common good.  There were several groups of people who actually gathered at that time...I was there in spirit...my body was in bed!  I figured the higher consciousness of me would do a better job attending it without my brain trying to lead the parade~especially at that hour!  The idea was to stimulate the vibration that leads to the place where we see ourselves as an intregal part of the WHOLE.  The idea was that people would really become aware of the need to be personally responsible for what is going on in the world and to take steps to modify their behavior.  I hope that it helps us become aware of what we need to do to truly make Heaven here on Earth.  

     We've done it before, you know...

     Well, for those of you who have been faithful little bloglodytes, it comes as no surprise that today is the Birthday of Tomaro, which just plain makes me giggle while I think that actually EVERY day is the birthday of TOMORROW...and for that matter the child of YESTERDAY...what PRESENT have you received?  Is it what you were hoping for?  Or is it something you'd like to exchange...for what?

     For the longest time, the Great Amoeba has been playing word games, singing songs, and generally doing everything possible to make me see that everything that I had asked for was truly being delivered to me every moment.   Good Lord...have I even been Grateful?...HAVE I EVER!  And that, my children is how it all began...when the bus came by, and I got ON---I'm living proof that God made me just for the Mic-HELL-e of it.  I finally think that I might even know WHY!  (but I'll keep you guessing!)  How about you?  

     So it appears that the word for Tomaro's Today appears to be "I DO" as this auspicious date also happens to fall on a Saturday in what is usually the busiest wedding season of the year anyway.  Meanwhile a good number of musical folk are celebrating the Mother Ship by bringing attention to global warming by demonstrating on a large scale exactly what not to do (do you have any idea how much waste/carbon/noise pollution is involved at these types of events?)  I actually heard that they were running quite a bit of the project on biofuel and trying to recycle, etc...but really, the carbon footprint has got to rival that of Paul Bunyan.  (No wonder his OX was blue...)  Does this guy know how to have a birthday or what?  I can tell you that even though he works in the film industry, Tomaro drives a BioDiesel...remember...

"One man gathers what another man spills."

     Hey Now.  Yesterday was my Sister's Birthday, under a Capricorn Full Blue Moon and My 1/2 birthday, and the official start of the second half of the year 2007---check the expiration dates on your coupons y'all.  While everyone is looking toward the 4th and then of course 07/07/07...when there are a number of consciousness raising events planned for this auspicious day...birthday of Tomaro...(Tomorrow?...) but what have we learned to prepare us for this moment?

     I have really been thinking about what it means when I say that I am a Reiki Healer.  Just what do you say to someone about moving energy around and making people feel better?  How does it sound to the "rational" when I say that I can feel and see energy and help it get to where it needs to go.  When I say that when I don't know how to do something, I can simply ask Angels.  So can you.  I have no doubt that they are there-you can too!

     I know that on some level I have been a sounding board for people all of my life.  I have been specially prepared to deal with the emotional well being of the people around me...I've both dealt with crazy, and been crazy.  I have a laundry list of issues I could use as an excuse for getting on Oprah.  I know that becoming a bartender was a natural byproduct of wanting to help people feel better.  It takes a special kind of crazy to want to give people a dose of "truth serum" and then sit back and listen to them spill their beans.  Thankfully I never had to work in a place that was open really late.  We had "Happy Hour" and then rolled up the sidewalks at 8pm.  Pretty cushy, really.

     So lately I have been dealing with some pretty weighty issues as far as people around me and their health.  Please don't think I am trying to bring anyone down...It is simply important for me to learn what I can from all of this.  So---My father has been dealing with prostate cancer for a year now.  It is kind of aggressive and he is being very matter of fact about it.  "No big deal."  My mother had a hysterectomy last week and while she is up and around and going to Young Living Oils meetings and driving an hour to see my grandfather today, she was told that they had also removed both uterine and ovarian cancer...it looks pretty good, like they got it all out, but we are not sure if any of it spread.   Both parents with 2nd chakra issues...don't think that might be passed on, do you?  (OM---think ORANGE thoughts.)  Meanwhile I got word that a friend of mine who had a baby on the Solstice, also found out that she has colon AND liver cancer...she is barely 30.  How do I help?

     There is more...bad things happen to good people all the time.  In my world where everything happens for a reason....sometimes the reasons are simply not reasonable.  Sometimes it seems Pollyanna to think that somehow I have the power to help.  Knowing what I know about the power of Faith---it is Selfish to think that I cannot...I might not have the power alone, but I've got a Legion of Superfriends who do.  Calling all Angels...we are here, we are here, we are HERE!  

      Be Here Now,  Bee Hear Now,  Bea Herenow, B...bbbbbbbbbb.....All Together Now.

    Journeys take many forms and this weekend seems like it was just as interesting to be asleep as it was to be awake.  It seems that all of this Reiki and assorted other "Mumbo Jumbo" that I have been up to is really starting to pay off in a big way.  I am breaking down blocks and opening up opportunities in a number of areas and IT FEELS GREAT!

      One of these opportunities was to get to go to a Sweat Lodge that is on the property of a Shaman in a town called Sweet Home.  It was the first sweat in a beautiful little lodge that was built by the Shaman.  I have not had the opportunity to participate in a sweat since I left Normal nine years ago.  They held one for me to bless my journey out here.  It felt comfortable and welcoming to be able to do one again.  It felt as though I have finally successfully become a part of a Tribe again.  Ahau.

      The morning of the ceremony I had a dream that I was looking for the other people and the lodge and I opened a door that was about 12 stories up in a city and I was standing looking out over a sidewalk...SCARY!  I quickly closed the door and as I turned to look for the elevator to get me down I heard myself say "HEY!!!  You could have stepped out that door and flown...you are dreaming!"  Something about a leap of faith and all. 

     Then last night I had a dream that Babbo was mad at me (fears) and that he took some of these boxes that I have been planning to paint (for about 2 years now!) and was burning them in the back yard in the middle of the night...and I looked out the window from my bedroom and the neighbor was pouring a new foundation and I knew that it was a message for me about "new foundations".  Then, out another window was a couple of beings...surrounded by white-as in Heavenly...and they were talking about my fortune.  They were both in white and the one had a head that was all shiny gold and looked like a smiley face  (dreams...sigh).  He was the one that was saying that it wasn't quite time yet, but there was also something about waiting until it got to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars...so hmmmm...maybe I should buy a lottery ticket or something!  Okay---or not- (lottery is a tax on people who can't do math-as in the odds)  but I do feel like it meant that more financial abundance was on it's way...to which I say...COME ON DOWN!

     On that note...it's off to the Mush Room for my daily paycheck installment.  Anybody want to buy some Porcini?

Happy Summer Solstice-Y'all!

     Here on the Left Coast of the US we rolled into summer at 11:07am, a fine time for Dancing Naked.  Unfortunately the Mush Room had other plans for me, so I will have to do my dancing later-sigh---though in my heart, I am always Shakin' Booty!  The Sun moved into Cancer-the sign of the Crab, which rules the Home, the Breasts and the Stomach.  Cancer is Ruled by the Moon, and really helps us appreciate the Cycles of Life.  OM.

     Summer is the season of ABUNDANCE and all that life has to offer, and this summer I am the one that has the SPECIAL OFFER for my Bloglodytes and all of our friends...I am practically GIVING AWAY my custom works of art...!  For more details on this please check my ORDER HERE page on my website (you know-the one you came here on)...and if you have any questions for me, email me at mandalafly@yahoo.com.

     Around here, summer means that there are more people vying for the coveted spot in front of the computer, and that is part of the reason that Mandalablog has been a little difficult to compose regularly.  Things One and Two are adjusting, so you should be able to get your MandalaMoments more often again...       

      As for you...I hope that this Summer brings you even closer to the realization that you are an AMAZING BEING and that this little ball of dirt needs EACH and EVERY one of us to care for ourselves and Her.                              Plant something.

Bibbity Bobbity Blog....just stepping back into Mandalaspace and saying hi.  Really have been on an intergalactic journey with some amazing warrior women...there is more than one planet that needs our help!!!

   Exciting week coming up with the Summer Solstice coming up on Thursday and the Sun passing from Gemini into Cancer...now maybe I can get on with some work at home(Cancer)...seems like all Gemini wants to do is SOCIALIZE---oh well....fun while it lasts!

     Also wanted to mention that Mercury went retrograde last Friday and that may be why communication has been spotty?  (Okay-that's one of the things I am using as an excuse this time...)  One of the things that I like about Mercury and it's retrograde periods is that it is like a Seven Layer Labrynth...it goes forward 4 times and "backward" (it's an illusion) 3 times (over the course of a year) and connects our brain hemispheres!  COMMUNICATION GOES BOTH WAYS! 

     Something I think is a good excersize during Mercury Retrograde is to draw or write with your non dominant hand....Wake up your sleeping brain!!!

     Have fun with that!

Well, here I am again.  Surfacing for a breath in the "Real World" after what seems like swimming through space and time for a while in other realms.  Really...I do have a life outside of my blog!  Do you think I just make all of these adventures up in my head?  Is that so WRONG???

--I think-therefore...I Forget!

So, I have been gathering information at what is really the speed of LIGHT.  Perhaps that is why I have not been able to think of anything to say...it almost feels as though it has all been said!  Or maybe it just feels like I have so many things I could say that I don't know what to say...I do know that whatever I say, it will have something to do with BEING NICE to YOURSELF.

Here's a little excersize to work with. 

• Make a LONG list of inspirational words that you would use to encourage, appreciate, honor, love...someone that is dear to your heart.  Fill a paper...use stuff like: Tasty, Marvelous, Inspirational, Motivated, Happy...
• Stand in front of a mirror...
• Look yourself in the eye...and SMILE!
• Read the list to your Self...
• BELIEVE IT!!!

...and know that Mandalafly believes in you too! 

Happy Monday.
