Geosentient Geosentient
Embodier who uses their physical body as an awareness feedback “mechanism” or reference point mandala map to work with the grid system of the earth planetary body. Is this you too??? Having an deep connection and feeling sense of the earth planetary body in your physical human body. I emerged from a connect in meditation moment with this phrase this morning. Geosentient We are “keenly attuned to the natural world and all of the Earth’s changes. The beauty of a waterfall can exhilarate and energize....How do you know if you are an earth sentient? You are highly sensitive to intuiting the Earth’s changes in your body. Sensually and energetically, you can feel the power of a thunderstorm, the loveliness of the moon, the warmth of the sun on your shoulders. What happens to the Earth is intimately connected to your body. The beauty and health of the earth nourishes and sustains you. The ocean and tides affect everyone, but especially you. The moon and the tide regulate menstrual cycles in women and sleep-wake cycles for both genders. You are sensitive to weather changes and the amount of daylight. The earth, its elements, and the universe feel like family. The moon and stars are beloved companions. Since childhood, I’ve looked up at the sky and felt that my true home was there.” ~above quoted from Dr Judith Orloff (with some Julie edits) Here is a “how to” guide on working this for gridworkers (from my Inner Space blog archives September 2019) Tune Your Field to Reflect the Earth You make the intention to feel your sensations in relation to planet earth. Then, your sensory field is attuned to this. All the sensations you feel and notice are a feedback mechanism to explore the earth and earth energy grids. You can use your body and field as a mandala. A mandala is map, a symbol, a representation of the universe through space and time. You can employ a mandala as a tangible tool to connect with and access the energy of something. You can use the sphere, the torus of your field as a way to tune in to the universe, to another human, to the planet, to anything. Just as a reflexologist would use the reflex map of your foot to access the entire body, you can use your awareness field as a mandala – as a embodiend “map”. A mandala is a “geometric figure representing the universe”. It is a “spiritual or ritual geometric configuration of symbols or a map”, “a cosmic diagram that shows us our relation to the infinite, the world that extends beyond and within our minds and bodies.” In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. Carl Jung described this process is that of the ascending spiral, which grows upward while simultaneously returning again and again to the same point. Creating mandalas helps stabilize, integrate, and re-order inner life. According to the psychologist David Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one "to access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious, ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises.” Read my full blog on this topic here: https://www.innerspacehealing.org/blog/you-as-mandala Stargate Opening February 1 & 2, 2020On February 1st and 2nd, we are “gated” by two spectacular stellar risings, one just before Sunrise, one just after Sunset. The Eagle rises just before dawn (around 5:30 am EST). The Eagle Nebula (Messier Object 16) along with Aquila, the Eagle Constellation. At 5:30 pm EST, Monoceros, the Unicorn Constellation rises in the east. These stellar bookmarks sandwich a day which is already potent in earth keeper ceremony and significance. February 1st, Cross Quarter holiday. We have reached the cross quarter holiday!! Could you feel it yesterday? The light from the sun was extra bright, extra luminous. The night sky also was “extra texture” with the star light. The solstice and equinox divide the year into 4 “quarters” or season. Delineated by June and December Solstices, March and September equinoxes. The halfway point between a solstice and an equinox is called the Cross Quarter day. February 1, May 1, August 1, Nov 1. All Powerful days of earth keepers and earth based traditions. The Celts called this time we are in Imbolic. You can feel it in the sun light, in the air, how we have reached a tipping point to spring! (or toward winter southern hemisphere friends) I had a particularly potent and powerful sacred time in Andara Light Meditation yesterday morning. We have had a stretch of cloudy weather, and the blue sky bright sun morning was so welcome. I nestled into my “crystal chamber” and got to communing and tuning in with my andara team. They asked to be gridded and rearranged. One grid was for Unicorns. Very pink and brown and clear and rainbow (did not snap a pic of that one). Then I was rearranging and cleaning and the root beer browns wanted a grid display too. I set it all up and then sat in meditation….and kept hearing….”The Eagle and the Unicorn”. And my mind would go, do you mean Eagle and the Condor? Nope, kept getting “Eagle and the Unicorn”. Ok. Was in an eye closed section of contemplation, and then opened my eyes to THIS Spent some more connecting time, to the light, and reading and tuning into these light codes. I heard again "The Eagle and the Unicorn" and then “the Four Pillars of Creation”. Huh, interesting….that phrase…the four pillars has come up several times this week. In a session at Inner Space, in connection to Egyptian temples and obelisks. I had been nudged to dive deeper into this meaning. The Four Pillars. I decided to do some intuitive online research and searching around….and saw a page about The Eagle Nebula. Ding Ding. And the Pillars of Creation. Ding Ding Ding Ding. Well, that’s a match. Often with I get “Eagle” my mind goes towards Aquila – the Eagle/Hawk Constellation. We are “Star buddies”. Me and Altair and Aquila. But this was a new angle. And just look at the picture of this amazing active rich star producing region: It looks like this Andara crystal that was shining out the eagle holographs today as well. I then opened my Star App to investigate further. TO check the alignments of this nebula, M16 – Eagle Nebula. I scanned through to see when it rose, as I woke up well before dawn this morning, and often get called awake by stars during the night when they want to communicate. Lo and behold, this time was when the Eagles (BOTH nebula and constellation) were rising in my eastern sky. Good Morning! Following the inner voice of guidance for “the Eagle and the Unicorn” it is time for “The Eagle and the Unicorn”….I decided to look up another star friend….Monoceros, The Unicorn Constellation. Well, now…Monoceros rises just after sunset here, bookending this glorious light encoded day. The Eagle and The Unicorn indeed! Happy February Friends. May the light guide your way!! PS - We even have a theme song ;-) Orion has been very prominent in our evening sky! He has been speaking loudly this season to me, and I have been doing lots of research on the indigenous cultures and their star lore and constellations.
Orion takes Sasquatch form among the tribes of Ontario, Canada. In Anishinabe (Ojibway) and Cree, he has several names; Nanabush Anung, Wesakaychack, Misabe, and Mistapiw, all of which loosely translate to the Giant. They say he is a teacher, but also a trickster and shapeshifter; often taking the form of a furry giant. http://english9ml.blogspot.com/…/the-sasquatch-constellatio… Orion is “The Giant One” - with lots of interpretations, including Wesakechak, The ShapeShifting Trickster, as well as The Tall Giant & Sasquatch “Wesakechak is a trickster and stories begin, move forward and end with him. Stories about Wesakechak are to be told only in the winter when he stands tall in the sky. Today we call that constellation Orion. In the Ininewuk or Cree language, he’s called Mistapiw, also translated as the Giant. The stories of Wesakechak are tales about a shape shifter who can be a big furry creature or sometimes are rock or small animal. He teaches through his mistakes and many of his stories are very funny. “ https://science.ucalgary.ca/…/c…/first-nations-skylore/orion There's more than one way to see the constellations. Here's a look through Native American eyes. Biboonkeonini, The Wintermaker (also known to us as Orion) “We know and love the traditional constellations. Many of us have formed lifelong associations with their seasonal arrivals and departures. But sometimes it's nice to switch lenses and see how others see the sky. It's not only fun to connect the dots to make new patterns; at the same time, we broaden our understanding of another culture. No matter Greek, Polynesian, Chinese, or Ojibwe, each civilization imbues the starry heavens with their own unique vision of life. Instructive stories, moral guidance, and lessons in human fallibility have been heaped upon the stars for you and I to ponder on the next clear night.” https://www.skyandtelescope.com/…/make-way-wintermaker1112…/ Light Body Activation: The Sweet Andara WayI have been hearing (from deep inside) the calling to assist folks everywhere to “Activate The Light Body”. To support that, I have been sharing about light codes, and solar rays and source codes. A sweet simple way to understand your Light Body…it is the part of you that is luminous. That radiates – joy – love – enthusiasm – and light. If it puts a smile on your face. If it brings you inner joy and excitement. If it makes you feel giddy like a child. That is something helping you to raise your vibration. That is something with an ascending frequency. Light on our planet comes mostly from the SUN. The Solar Rays are Source Light, Source Codes for all life on our planet. Whether you call it Chi or Ki or Prana or The Force, this all pervading Energy of Life is what flows through the universe as the animation and creation force. Preparing the vessel of your body to be able to house more light, more energy is the pursuit of many disciplines (yoga, qi gong, spending time in nature, walking, etc). If you are reading this, then embodying radiance, health, longevity and high vibe energy is something important to you. Myself I have walked many paths finding ways to elevate my consciousness, raise my vibration, conduct and anchor light into my own human energy field, as well as the energy field of Planet Earth. The current way to play that brings the biggest brightest smile to my face is playing, living with and loving Andara Crystals. They crystalize the light rays and light codes in a playful beautiful way. These crystals are embodied light beings, sentient and amazing to work with. Gazing at the beauty of each image is an activation in itself. Andara Crystals do many and are many things. I am going to be sharing more and more with you over the next few weeks about these amazing beings. For today, I leave you with a few pictures. May they put a smile on your face, elevate your vibration and make this day more flowy and awesome for YOU! In light, Julie How to Design Your Own Ceremony or Ritual A dear friend asked me if I had any advice about doing something special and significant for this weekend’s Full Moon Eclipse. I sure do have some methods and suggestions I would be delighted to share. It is such a good question, I wanted to share the answer publicly.
The primary thing about designing your personal ceremony is Empowerment. Whatever you do, whatever you create is is perfectly perfect and an expression of your unique needs for the moment. Authentic ceremony looks different every time. It is your intention, the energy and meaning you put behind it that are important. The outward expression is simply a token of your Inner Space. The kind of ceremony you chose depends on where you are, who you are with, what tools and resources you have available, and in what kind of weather and climate you find yourself. Some tried and true expressions of ceremony are: Earth – Use a crystal or some stones, sand, leaves. Build an altar or dedicate a sacred shelf or ledge. Water – take a bath, place a bowl of water under the moonlight to charge, make sun tea or moon tea to drink, charge some water with your energy, intention or a crystal, run a fountain Fire – light a candle, build a bonfire, light the wood stove, string up lights. Create some art, infuse some beauty to feast on with your eyes, hang a tapestry or painting. Make beauty. Air – breathe with the natural world around you, get outside or open a window, breathe to connect yourself to the heart of the universe, through your own heart and lungs, use a heart entrainment exercise (Hold a feeling of gratitude or love or abundance or whatever you want to call in in your spiritual heart space. Keep infusing that feeling into your heart space and into your heart torus magnetic field. Invite all of the cells of your body to entrain/attune to this vibration. Space – Inner Space – connect to your deepest longings, intentions, heart and soul desires. Dream big, and include all the lofty grandiose ideas. Outer Space - Place yourself carefully – mind your surroundings. Chose a spot that is safe, cozy and receptive to your needs. Use astronomical alignments to create a powerful alignment with the cosmos (like full or new moons, solstices and equinoxes, eclipses, planetary or cosmic alignments). For this particular Full Moon Lunar Eclipse – it feels like the energies are preparing us for BIG CHANGES and UPGRADES. A lunar eclipse brings the earth right in between the moon and sun. In fact, the shadow we see on the moon is cast by the earth. If we use the metaphor that the sun is our spark, our currency of energy. The moon is our deep inner reflection, the feelings of our heart and soul. The earth is our daily structure – of schedule, of mindset, of things we do often. This eclipse is asking us….what “earth things” are overshadowing the inner longings of your heart and soul? What daily patterns or habits keep you from using your time for self care? What mindsets or repeating thoughts do you have about yourself that are creating limitation? Create a ceremony or ritual for yourself, that examines your shadow, that delves deep into your Inner Space, that honors who you are, how magnificent and powerful you are. It can be as simple as lighting a candle and sitting for one minute in reflection. It can be elaborate dance around the fire. It can be constructing an altar or building a crystal grid. Let your creativity flow. For my local friends, we may spend this eclipse shoveling ice chunks falling from the sky. It all works! Tales of Unicorns, Rainbows and Star Lineages One cold clear December night, I was lured out to my front yard by the magical light of the stars. This is an often occurrence for me. Since early childhood, the light of the stars has been so captivating and uplifting to me. I would get fluttery feelings in my heart and belly and find myself brimming with excitement. It still happens like that. So, this early December night last year in 2017, I went out bundled up to gaze up at the night sky. This night I was gifted with quite a star show. Sirius was in full luminosity, twinkling and dancing like a rainbow disco ball. Procyon was beaming at me. The familiar shape of Orion was large and in charge of the southeast portion of the sky. And, then, the black night sky between them started to glitter and glimmer. Like a flash of on again off again flirtatious light. I stayed out as long as the cold would allow, and when I came back into the warm house I grabbed my phone, on which I had an app that helped me identify stars, planets and constellations. Right in the spot that I had seen the light show, the star twinkle show, the star map showed the constellation Monoceros. Having never heard of that one, I investigated further. Monoceros is The Unicorn. Hold the star phone – the unicorn has it’s own constellation?? Sweet!! How could I not yet know this?? I have some research and work to do! I went out on a few subsequent nights to view it again, and there it was, that twinkling glowing pulsing part of the sky. Thing was, the experts who populate the sky finder app claim that the things I was seeing could not be visible to the human eye (without a telescope). But I was seeing it for sure for real. The spot that was glowing and pulsing was (according to sky charts) right at the horn of the unicorn. A dim star Doing some deeper research, I found that this was the location of the brightest star in this constellation, S Monoceros, and the Christmas Tree Cluster, and the Cone Nebulae. Upon hearing even the names and the NGC designation NGC 2264, I had a deep sense of familiarity and inner knowing. A cascade of info started pouring my way, and I was making many layered personal connections to both the numbers and the system. One example, the family “lore” my parents told say I was a Christmas baby, conceived on Christmas Eve (like many of us born at the end of September). I had an instant and powerfully strong sense of knowing that this star system was a home base for me. Deepening the connection and communication to my star family was something that had been of interest to me for several years, so this night I describe was the culmination of open hearted and open mind and soul work. Unicorns had been making themselves more known to me also throughout the year. And this seemed quite significant. I had also been receiving a lot of light codes and direct knowing info from the Gold Ray, a huge download of info during Summer Solstice from the Gold Ray and some significant info now coming for the winter solstice from the Silver Ray. I use Andaras to bring in and work with Star Codes and Light Rays (star codes are the light codes that come from stars and celestial bodies, see here for more info on light codes). For my own Christmas gift, I purchased a gold and a silver (clear) andara to work with. Here is a photo from Dec 26, 2017 – my first day playing and activating these beauties. Several weeks later, mid January, was doing some yoga meditating movement alignment goodness, and a fully formed light being rainbow unicorn galloped out of this crystal into my room. It was a wowza moment This is a pic from that day. Can you see her/him? So, I tell you these tales today, as inspiration for your own personal journey of connections. Your lineages and communications and pathways will be unique to you. We all call in different lineages and team mates.
If you want to hear directly from the stars, the process is magically simple. Go outside, be present. Be open. BE connected to your own soul center and use your innate skill of direct knowing. Listen, with your multi dimensional sensory system. The light from the stars delivers the codes directly to you. And then the info unfolds for months and years, and your "job" is to make space inside yourself to listen and receive. Fire BAlls from the EYES of the DRAGONThe “Green Comet” aka Comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner is a comet that orbits periodically through our solar system. Looking at the oval shaped orbital path of this comet, it travels just beyond the orbit of Jupiter and then swings quite close to earth’s orbital path. So, it bring with it codes and information from the gassy giant Jupiter, and all the space along the way through the solar system, gathering particles and energy from the orbits all of the 6 closest planets to the sun. These planets have also been very visible to the human eye this summer. Both of these inputting info to our earth and human collective. Comets capture the imagination and the wonder and awe of humanity. They give us a common focus. They deliver particles of life, dust, gases, pieces of star stuff. They illuminate both a path in the night sky, and a neural pathway of inspiration and knowledge in the human collective consciousness. There are three activation possibilities from these inner solar system comets. (1) Meteor Showers - They leave behind a trail of debris that the earth ends up moving through each year as it orbits the sun. During this passing through the debris field small particles burn up as they graze the atmosphere and we get a meteor shower. These meteors are light codes being delivered from the comet to us on earth. (2) Catching a Glimpse - The comet itself is visible. For this Comet 21P we need high powered binoculars or a telescope to see it. The visible light emitted from a comet transmits light codes. Catch a glimpse if you can! (3) Following the Path Through the Sky - The comet as seen from our vista here on the earth surface moves along the night sky and looks like it is traveling through different constellations. In effect, it illuminates or lights up, and brings our attention to those stars and planets and constellations it is moving through. It does this for us energetically even if we cannot see the comet with our human eyes. In my experience, those of us that spend time under the night sky, we will be drawn to look at a certain part of the sky or a certain constellation. We might not even know why, and then later we research and find this comet may have been the reason. This happened for me this summer. I kept seeing the North American nebulae, which site in the constellation Cygnus the Swan. During this research, I round out that Comet 21P was cruising right by that nebulae this summer. So my natural free attention was drawn there. And it just may be thanks to the green comet! And to be clear - the comet is not physically near any of these stars, as they are far away from our solar system. It is just how it looks to us on “planetarium earth”. Comet History Comet 21P was fist observed in 1900. During this epoch, it was widely believed that all the stars we could see where part of the milky way. For centuries it was common thought that earth was the center of the universe, and all other bodies revolved around us here on earth (geocentric model). Of course many if not all ancient cultures knew the truths of the galaxies, but that is a conversation for another write up. Folks like Copernicus, Kepler, Newton and Galileo influenced and changed our human view to a model where the sun was the center of our solar system and the earth and the planets that orbited around the sun (heliocentric). Comets expand human awareness of the universe. As they are “different” and change the night sky from the usual sights. They, just by there very existence and the way they travel in the night sky teach us how the universe works. Comet 21P has a period of 6.5 years, meaning it comes back around to the same spot on its elliptical orbit every 6.5 years. Here is a good read on the comet: http://earthsky.org/space/2-comets-21p-giacobini-zinner-wirtanen-2018 Recent Activities The comet came very close to earth and the sun on September 10, 2018. The comet close approach to the sun (perihelion) and the time when it makes its close approaches planet earth are two different and distinct alignments that this year (2018) coincided on the same day. Very rare. There was a significant moment of exchange that happened on September 10, 2018 Comet 21P to planet Earth. And, interestingly enough, on September 11, 1985, the Spacecraft ICE (International Cometary Explorer (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Cometary_Explorer ) flew right into the plasma tail of the comet to collect info and data. So this September green comet communication is a “thing”. If the close encounters of this comet and earth interest you, this website lists the years (http://www.aerith.net/comet/catalog/0021P/index.html). There is a lot to be correlated about the visit of this comet and the awakening of our human experience. The Draconids Meteor Showers is activation possibility number one from above. When the earth passes thought the comet trail debris field from the pathway of the Green Comet, we see the Draconids Meteor shower. Meteors are named by the radiant point - where the meteors seem to project from as they streak across the sky. Draco – The Dragon is the radiant constellation. Tales and myths speak of these meteors coming right from the red eyes of the Dragon. Because of the close approach of earth to the comet this circle around, we have an opportunity for a big meteor storm this year. The Draconids general are at max viewing potential from October 6 – 12, with a peak around October 8. We are in a good viewing moon mode as the new moon this month is on October 9, so the night sky will be dark and good for meteor viewing. Read more at: http://earthsky.org/?p=180611 http://www.topastronomer.com/StarCharts/Constellations/Draco.php Exploring further activation possibility (3) Following the Path Through the Sky (listed above) let’s look at the path the green comet will be traveling for September and October. Thanks to the work of http://blog.emout.org/en/2018/06/12/bright-comets-of-2018/ and several other researched sources I can tell you that: “It could even be visible to the naked eye (obviously with very clean and clear skies) towards the end of August and remain like this throughout September. Its path will be very interesting not only for its expected brightness, but also because it will pass prospectively close to some open clusters.” Dates where comet visibly passes celestial objects: July 4 it will in pass the open cluster M39 August 27th the NGC 1502 cluster September 13 we will see it near M37 September 15 close to M35. September 23 it enters the constellation Monoceros, the Unicorn September 26 pass Cone Nebula and Christmas Tree Cluster (NGC 2264) At the beginning of October, it will touch the NGC 2301 cluster and a few days later M50 and NGC 2343. Finally, at the end of October it will pass NGC 2362. So, you might be asking, so Julie, why does this matter? Why is this important? How can this assist me with living a good life? For myself, gaining a larger view of the universe always helps me transcend the day to day struggles. I know I could use more energy, more awareness, more insight and inspiration. Star light and star codes and this universal wisdom feeds me energetically at very deep levels. These stellar light codes also communicate directly into your body, via the pineal gland. Via photons right to your DNA and cellular structure. These light encoded opportunities give us all an opportunity to updgrade and recalibrate the DNA. They deliver right to your doorstep, your windows, your eyeballs, your human energy field vital life force, prana. Engaging with this is a knowing on purpose way multiplies the benefits and effects. Plus, it’s just plain fun to geek out and read about uplifting things!! Thanks for reading all the way to the end here. You must indeed be a galactic conductor of LIGHT!!
