We are entering the gateway of THE BEEHIVE CLUSTER (M44)

Sky Gazers and Gatekeepers !
As the sun moves along its ecliptic path through the sky, we turn our attention to the next stargate of the ecliptic....the Beehive Cluster (M44) in the Constellation Cancer The Crab.

The Beehive Cluster is a group of over 1,000 stars, connected by gravitation pull to each other.  This star cluster is one of our nearby neighbors.  In the Orion spiral Arm of our Milky Way galaxy.  Right down the road in galactic terms. 

The Beehive Cluster is associated with the pineal gland in the human body.  This association comes from the fact that in the midheaven (or top of the circle) of a traditional astrology wheel or chart, we have the zodiac sign of cancer.  Also, the location of the star cluster in relation to the body of the crab (as drawn by the stars) appears to be in the “forehead” of the crab. 

This cluster made itself known to me several years back, working with a stone chamber astronomical calendar site.  It is a Beehive Chamber.  Aligned to the setting sun on the June equinox (and many other settings too).  When I was exploring with Sky Safari (the app on my phone, and source for many of the screenshot pics shared in this post) at the Beehive Chamber, i noticed the sun moving in to the area of the sky with the Beehive Cluster.  Buzz Buzz BUZZZZZZZ.....

Many of us feel and sense and intuit that these beehive stone chambers were used as temples of sound.  For vocal toning and chanting.  The monks in Ireland built many temples and dwellings and spaces of worship out of this corbelled dry stack stone beehive shape.  One article I read talked about them being able to hold 10-12 monks standing shoulder to shoulder in a circle.  While the article did not state this, I got the strong and clear message that these chambers were used for (among other things) chanting.  Vocal toning.  Sound healing resonating chambers.
Buzz...buzz...BUUUUUZZZZZZZZ !

Hello Friends!!
Popping on here to say....and remind myself/all of you.....
The eclipse window acts like a squeeze point or contraction tunnel funnel. In Fluid Mechanics we would call it a nozzle.
All the timelines get close together as they flow through the smaller diameter opening.
In this drawing closer together, we can hear/feel/sense the other timelines. There is some “bleed through”. With a bit of a feeling like they are closing in on us. Surrounding us. Because they are!!
It is more important in these nozzle moments to dial in to your highest, most joy filled love filled amazing timeline and trajectory.
Every word you say, every thought in your head, every action and offering, every particle of your attention is how you chose/vote/decide what timeline you are on/in.
Chose wisely friends!!
AND
This does not mean “be perfect or fail”. Quite the contrary. We expect and realize the mind is a busy place. The thoughts come. We can easily course correct and make a shift. If you have a low vibe thought come up...make a shift to a higher thought as a landing point.
You may let slip your lips something that is cutting or not of the highest. You can make a shift out loud too. Make a reversal, course correction and speak into existence something better/higher/lighter/more of love.
This game of life is a moment by moment game. We got this!!
YOU GOT THIS!!
It is never to late to begin again.
Renew your body, mind and soul.

THE GOLDEN GATE OF THE ECLIPTIC
Unlocking the KEYS from the SKY TABLET OF TAL-QADI
 
My ancestors are from Malta (my birth name is Bonnici). The temples on Malta have been calling me very loud for many years. I feel like my natural proclivity for sound codes come from this lineage and DNA line of mine. One Maltese Temple in particular started projecting codes my way and calling to me super duper loud during this Mars Pleiades gateway. Tal Qadi Temple. In the ruins and wreckage of this ancient star temple was found an etched stone, that is thought to be a star map. This stone is considered by some to be the oldest astronomical tool or sky map, dated around 4,000 BC.
 
The Golden Gate of the Ecliptic is an asterism (recognizable grouping of stars) in the constellation Taurus that has been known for several thousand years. The constellation is built by the two eye-catching open star clusters of the Pleiades and the Hyades that form the two posts of a virtual gate at the two sides of the ecliptic line.
Since all planets as well as the moon and the sun always move very closely along the virtual circle of the ecliptic, all these seven orbiting bodies are regularly passing through the Golden Gate of the Ecliptic. 
 
I draw your attention today to this GOLDEN STAR GATE.  This stargate has held great significance for humanity since ancient times.  It is a section of the night sky that calls loudly to many of us, the Sirius, Orion, Aldebaran, Hyades, Pleiades region.  

​Uncovered on the Island of Malta in excavations of 1927 was an etched limestone tablet.  Now known as The Sky Tablet of Tal-Qadi, this tablet is an ancient star map and astronomy tool.  Used around 4000 BC, this sky map/tablet shows us the passage of the Sun, Moon and the five visible planets through the Golden Gate.

2021 Golden Gate Alignments
 
Mars – March 7-19
On March 7, 2021 – Mars entered this Golden Gate
We are in this illuminated gateway until about March 19 when the moon joins Mars in this Golden Gate.

This slideshow shows day by day alignments from May 3 - May 30, as Mercury, Venus and then the Sun flow through the Golden Gate inMay, 2021.  Screen shots from my iPhone app, Sky Safari.

Golden Gate in May 2021 
We have Mercury, Venus and the Sun flow through this gate:
Mercury          May 2 - 6
Venus             May 6 - 15
Sun                May 16 - 29
 
The Golden Gate of The Ecliptic also serves as a moon “observatory”.  As the Moon passes through the gate over the year, it moves through its various phases.  In fact, if you watch the moon pass through this gate through the 12 months of the year, it will highlight and showcase the progression of the moon through its phases.  I continue researching on the building of stone archeoastronomy calendars and tracking of Lunar Standstills and how our ancestors used this gate as a marker to design these lunar calendar sites.
 
There is a correlation between Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, Pilot Mountain, North Carolina and this temple on Malta.  All three sites sit around the 36th longitude parallel.  They all hold some crystalline coding along this parallel, and there is a correlation between the astronomical observation point of the Tal-Qadi temple on Malta, and the astronomical alignment stones set to mark the lunar standstill cycles in Chaco Canyon.

On the afternoon of July 12, I drove from a friend's house with my sleeping then 2 year old daughter in the back seat. I had been researching this site for a few months, and was ready for my first in person visit.

We rode the tail end of a strong line of thundershowers, as is typical for July afternoons in New England. This storm held a particularly ominous sky. The closer I got to the Beehive Chamber, the more intense the aftermath. Blown down leaves and tree limbs here and there. But the neighborhood of the park that hosts the chamber was TRASHED. Roads closed. Trees uprooted. Limbs and Trees everywhere making driving near impossible on most roads around. I was thinking, what happened HERE? Was there a tornado?

Read this article the next day....

https://www.milforddailynews.com/news/20170712/heavy-winds-take-down-trees-in-upton

I did not make it there that day close roads and neighborhood was impassable. Went back a few days later for my first visit.  It has been a door opener for me. An in depth amazing deep dive. This site.  The complex archeoastronomy of the site.  The lure of the builders, and the ones who ceremonially kept time by the sky, the sun, moon, the stars.  

As the Years go by, the knowledge flow deepens.  Each season, each year of connecting brings more.My discovery and connection year to the site began in summer of 2017.  My initial "download" of star codes from this stargate was in June of 2018.  As I type these words now, we are in May 2021, so I am entering my fifth "round" of revelations from this corridor, and this stargate site.

This free "Working with a Stargate" course serves to deliver to you in an organized easy to access way the sharing of codes I have been doing along the years.  Folks who have been following my work will find this content here familiar. AND it is so valuable and powerful to have it all compiled here!  Yay to online course platforms!!!

Hidden in plain sight!!!

​I’ve driven by this spot thousands of times over decades. 
Just last week these enormous split tower boulders caught my eye. I was all...what the blip are THOSE ?!? 
Got to go in on foot today. 
It is spectacular and full of alignments. At cursory scan with phone compass I say spilt is oriented to summer solstice set (270 deg). 
The large snake stone wall is direct north south aligned, and snakes around so that this split is at the “head”. The “small one” is a good 7 feet. Taller than me. The other two, hard to judge, at least 20 feet tall. Maybe more. 
So many features left to unlock and discover here!! I’ll be back!

On 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!!

​I have been working closely with a sacred site in my neighborhood, an ancient stone beehive chamber.  It is an astronomical alignment site, meaning it is designed and set up to watch the setting June Solstice Sun.  From within the beehive chamber, the sun sets over carefully aligned rock cairns (stacks) arranged on nearby Pratt Hill.  Reading and researching on the site, it was found by archeoastronomers that the chamber was also aligned to the setting of the Pleiadian Stars.  Atop Pratt Hill there are also stone stacks arranged for the alignment of the setting Pleiades.

Image from the book Manitou by Mavor & Dix

Steeped in research mode, but still putting all the pieces together, it was unclear to me what time of year the Pleiadian setting was active at the chamber.  From May thru June 2018, I was digging deep to get the “answer”, when one night in dream state….I got a communication from a Pleiadian Sunset Andara.  The dream andara told me I could set up a crystal grid at the site and it would help me download the star codes and unlock some of the use of the site.  

​I had seen stones of this color and with this name, but did not have one myself.  Luckily for me, I have a friend and highly recommended Andara “dealer” named Dana.  She owns Elemental Ascension (https://www.elementalascension.com) .  I contacted her, told her about my dream, my andara communication, and my idea to set up a Pleiadian grid at the site.  She went researching too…and together we crafted a set of crystals that were eager to help me.  I cannot say enough about Dana, she is amazing at reuniting humans with their crystal friends.  I chose 3 andaras to purchase from her.  And while she was packaging and preparing my order, 4 more andara beauties told her they wanted “in”, so she generously sent those along too.  I combined them with a few from my collection, and put together a 9 piece set (seven sisters plus the mom and dad star). 

I have been so blessed to offer Pleiadian alignment sessions since then.  Just like stars and snowflakes, each session is unique.  I do sessions both remotely over zoom and in person. Check out the details by following the link below....

During winter here in North America, Orion and his neighbors, including the Seven Sisters are prominent in the night sky.  These stars have much to say and sing to you....are you ready to tune in??

PS - I had it in my mind and heart to get this story out to you today...and as all working parents know...best laid plans....today is a snow day.  So, to get this accomplished i set up my 4 year old with a show.  She chose Puffin Rock (a netflix show).  So, as I am typing this, she is watching a show where there is a supermoon full moon and the puffins are in a cave and the moon light is shining on crystals inside the cave, and they are all celebrating.  I mean...you just can;t make this stuff up.  When you are in the flow, magic happens!!

​Have you ever contemplated the galactic center?  Take a moment with me now….
Here’s an imagine of our galaxy, the Milky Way.  See that bright core of light at the center?  That is the Galactic Center or Galactic Core (GC).  

The Galactic Center is a source of light.  Light is Knowledge.  It is universal, the source of all life and creation. It is the sustaining and animating energy of the universe. 
 
When I deepened my professional focus working with the light codes and the human energy and planetary energy fields, I began to contemplate much more deeply the concept, “Where does life-force come from?”  and “What is the source of the energy of The CODE OF LIFE?” 
 
Quickly I reconnected with direct communication and wisdom from the SUN.  I was shown this “distribution system” of energy and source codes coming from the center of the universe, being rebroadcast at the center of each galaxy and then that signal distributing itself along the cosmic streams of stars so that each star, each sun, was rebroadcasting the signal of LIFE along the space and time field of the universe. 
 
Just as our planet orbits around the sun, our solar system orbits around the center of the galaxy.  Our Sun has a Sun.  Many folks call this the Central Sun or the Great Central Sun, The Spiritual Sun.  Our sun gets its light and energy from the core of the galaxy.  The light that streams from this core, flows out of the spiral arms of the galaxy, and is rebroadcast through every star that lives in that arm of the galaxy, including our sun.
 
The sun was birthed from a nebula near the center of the galaxy, as were the other stars.  Due to the spiral nature of the galactic vortex, the stars spiraled away from the center along certain pathways, that we call the spiral arms of the milky way, galactic stream of light and energy.  Astronomers have named these arms.  Our solar system, as best as we can tell, is in the Orion Spiral.  These source codes distribute from the Galactic Center down our particular arm of the galaxy, and to our sun and solar system.  We hear particularly loudly and see very brightly the other member of our galactic arm.  (read more about the Orion Arm here:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orion_Arm)

​On earth, we pay attention to solstice and equinox times to mark the progression of our orbit.  We see directly that where we are in relation to the sun governs our seasons and weather and these cycles are the driving force for our daily lives here on earth.  The solar system, in it’s orbital pathway around the center of the galaxy, also undergoes similar “seasons” or cycles.  The way our solar system is tilted in relation to the galactic equator sets us up for an annual alignment and “boost” of light and source codes from the galactic center.  There are sections of the galaxy that are rich with cosmic streams and energy flows.  We are in one of those bands right now. 
 
The Sun moves into a direct alignment with the Center of the Galaxy December 18, which is like our Sun getting a chance to power up by plugging into it’s source sun, the Central Sun.  The Solstice occurs on December 21, and for us in the Northern Hemisphere we turn the cycle of the year into gaining light.  The Full Moon happens December 22, and our Sun conjuncts Saturn on January 1.  On December 22 the Sun also moves deeper into the band of the milky way, and conjuncts the Lagoon Nebula.  Another source stream boost!  The Lagoon Nebula is one of the most active star producers our human eye can see (without high powered equipment).

 
Active Alignment Days: 
 
Sun Aligns with Galactic Center                 December 18 at 9:12 pm EST
Solstice                                                              December 21 at 5:22 pm EST
Full Moon                                                          December 22 at 12:48 pm EST
Sun Conjuncts Lagoon Nebula                  December 22 in Sagittarius
Sun Conjuncts Saturn                                  January 1 in Sagittarius
 
The Center of the Milky Way sits at 27.07 degrees of Sagittarius, one of the zodiac constellations that live along the celestial equator. If you are interested in exploring what a conjunction means you can read more from me here:  https://www.innerspacehealing.org/blog/the-sun-the-ecliptic-path
 

​So, what does any of this mean for you, as an aware sensitive being residing here on planet earth? Why is any of this important?  How can you harness or work with this knowledge? 
 
This Code of Life appears in the human body, in the musical scale, in the colors of the rainbow spectrum.  These source codes animate the universe.  Source codes spiral into existence.  They form shapes and flows.  The same way your human energy body distributes prana through the central channel to the nadis, via the spiral vortexes of the chakras to each cell.  Prana is the force and flow of life.  The flow of prana though your nadis (channels, streams) governs the health and vitality of your body and mind. 
This core galactic center is an emanation of the core/center/creation point of the universe.  It is an energy well we can each connect to both as a “refueling station” for the life-force energy in the body and as a source of light and information, inspiration.  And then use these codes, this info to spark our own inner creator self. 
 
In this alignment corridor of December, we get an amplification and multiplication of the message, the signal strength increases and we get to hear more clearly the light encoded messages of connection, light and life – the song of the universe.  So in this alignment we get a “double dose” of light and energy – from both the sun and the galactic core.
 
These alignments offer unique opportunities to receive certain light codes and bundles of photons and information.  We tune our sensitivity to be able to receive these codes and hear the messages coming our way from the stars.  We have been at this task of fine tuning awareness and training for years and many of us for lifetimes.
 
Take some time to sit quietly with yourself and listen.  Make a connection to your personal embodied core (your soul center, your solar plexus).  Make a connection to the crystalline core of the earth.  Make a connection to the sun.  Create a column of light connecting these cores and sit or stand within it.  Then connect to the core of the Milky Way, the Galactic Center.  Picture it in your mind, check out images of space and other galaxies.  I plan to gift myself with some time in quiet, in receptive mode. Under the night time sky.  Watching the stars. Under the daytime sky, watching the clouds.  At sunset and sunrise, watching the colors and listening to the messages. 
 
Let’s do it, and then compare notes later. 
 
Love and Light,
 
Julie
 

​The Sun travels on a predictable path, as seen here from the surface of earth.  This sun pathway is called the ecliptic.  This 360 degree circle is divided into 12 pieces (like a pizza pie).  Each “slice” or section is associated with one of the constellations of the zodiac.  These constellations have been deemed important by every ancient culture on earth.  When people spent more of their time outdoors, and under the night sky, the movements of the stars and planets was an integral part of how they kept track of the passing of time, and the seasons.  Tracking the stars and the planets and the sun and moon functioned as a “calendar” and the cycles of seasons and how the stars told of these cycles functioned as signals and markers to every ancient culture on earth.
 
Each culture came up with their own stories and myths about these constellations.  Told in parable form in oral history, so wisdom was preserved and passed on the the next and future generations.
 
Although our modern indoor artificial light influenced lifestyle does not have us gathering by the fire to share stories every night, there are many of us that still cherish and find importance in these traditions.  Although we have the luxury of beds and houses, we can still gather with friends and family and celebrate the night sky. 
 
The sun, since it is so much closer to earth than all of the other stars we see, seems to move faster along this pathway than the other stars and celestial bodies.  The strongest link we have in this day to this ancient wisdom is astrology. It is widely used and “accepted” in society.  We each most likely know our Sun Sign, which is the position along the ecliptic the sun was at at the exact time of your birth.  Your natal chart is really a still snapshot of all of the planets, comets, moon, sun, etc at the time of your birth.  The position of the planets and other bodies creates a strong “symbol” of the energies that were in play at the time of your birth.  Sacred geometry meets gravity meets light and sound code transmissions. 
 
When the sun moves right in front of one of the celestial bodies it is said to conjunct that body. Or, another way to say that is that in lines up directly on that same spot on the ecliptic as the body.  Because this sun is so bright, when the sun conjuncts another star or planet, we cannot see it here on earth.  In effect, the sunlight “swallows up” the other body, and it disappears from the night sky.  
 
Ancient cultures not only noticed these annual cycles of sun and star constellations, they used them in a predictive calendar way to portend the coming of seasons.  Of times where it was safe to take to the seas in ocean going vessels.  Time when the frozen ground would be possible to till.  And when it was safe from frost to plant crops.  These were very important, as the life of the tribe and the families of the village depended on it for food and survival.
 
When the sun conjuncts another star, or goes very close to aligning with it (as seen from here on earth) it can be though of as these two stars are combining power and light and force to shine extra brightly to earth.  Lightworkers (folks who work with light and conducting it and anchoring it on earth) can use these time of conjunction to conduct and anchor light codes from each specific star and star system the sun lines up with.  It is a major influence of what energy is streaming toward the earth on any given day.  It is a “big deal” and will be influencing you daily and seasonally either in the background or in the forefront of your awareness.  Why not work these energies in an aware fully conscious way to make the most out of them for your own evolution and spiritual journey, as well as for the collective consciousness of the planet?  It’s also fun and inspiring!  A great way to engage!

May Day Greetings Friends

We did it, we made it to SPRING – to MAY – YEAH !!
Traditionally this was a day to gather and celebrate the return of spring, the start of the growing season (for Northern Hemisphere cultures), and a time to connect to the Spring Energy of clearing, cleansing, making way for the NEW. These gatherings often included a May Pole dance.  Where dancers would each hold a twine or ribbon, attached to a tall pole or live tree, and dance a dance that created a woven design on the pole or tree.  And then dance in reverse to unwind it all.

The image of the May Pole dance has been coming up for me a bunch in the last few weeks.  Both for myself, and my own inner spring “cleaning” self care rituals and ceremonies, as well as working with my beloved clients in managing their energy fields and bodies. 

Your energy, your life-force (your prana, your chi) flows though you in pathways, streams.  Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) calls them meridians.  In Yoga & Ayurveda we call them nadis (Sanskrit for stream or channel).  The metaphor is like a garden hose that water flows through…your energy, your inherent life force flows through these pathways, these rivers of life, these “tubes”. 

Keeping prana flowing freely through the nadis is one of the big benefits of the practice of yoga (as chi flow is for Qi-Gong and Tai Chi).  We know that knots or tightness in the multidimensional body leads to diminished energy flow in the channels.
 
There are thousands and thousands of these nadis in your human energy field.  In yoga philosophy, we describe the master nadi, the main river of life as the central channel that runs along the length of the spine.  We use this sushumna nadi as the master attuner for the energy field.  When prana is free flowing in it, then all the others attune to this master rhythm. 

Imagine your spine and your central channel as the May Pole.  And the ribbons and the dancers represent every thing that has ever danced its way across your life and your attention field.  Everything you have ever heard and said.  Every single experience you have had.  Each one has the potential to wind around you, like a maypole ribbon, interwoven within your multi dimensional body mind soul field.  If you have enough of the ribbons wrapped tightly enough it impedes the free flow of your energy.  We all know that feeling of being “all bound up” by a memory or an emotion or a thought.  And having this binding translate over the physical body.

Yoga literature calls these The Granthis.  The Sanskrit word granthi means “knot” or “doubt” and also means “an especially difficult knot to untie.”  There are three major granthis to untie as you progress your way through freeing your flow of energy.  One in your lower abdomen/lower spine that is said to correlate with fear, anxiety about survival, base needs (food, clothing, shelter), feeling grounded.  The second is between the navel and the heart, around the base of the ribs, and this knot is associated with your personal power and “I AM” presence.  The third is described as being in the forehead, around the third eye, and the knots there inhibit the flow of clear seeing and thinking, and mire you in illusion and doubt.
(if you want to read more this is a good resource article https://jivamuktiyoga.com/fotm/untying-knots-bind-us/)
 
How do we proceed to unwind these knots?? There are many prescribed methods in the practice of yoga, and you are free to research and follow any one of these that resonate for you.  I am not going to recommend those yoga traditional methods (like applying the bhandas and doing severe or austere actions to burn them away).  I find those personally to actually bind me up further, and are just not that pleasant.  I find that what helps me personally is making things super FUN and JOY filled.  We can follow the lead of our ancestors who danced the dance of the may pole at this time of year to unwind and release.

May Pole Inner Ritual of Unwinding and Renewal

Take a few moments to yourself to breath, ground and center.
Connect to your core.
Connect to the core of the earth and get grounded.

Sit or lie or stand still, and breathe, watch allow what you notice in your body. 
What part of your body can you feel first? Which part is speaking to you the loudest right now?
You might ask it what it may be holding, or communicating, and then take a moment to listen.

Follow the flow of your sensations to notice feel and allow your awareness to flow with several body parts or areas of the body.  And include the mind/thoughts and your emotions as things to notice and be aware of.  While some knots will appear in the physical body, many others will present in the mental body or emotional body.

Put on a song – pick a thematic match to what you are feeling, or a song that helps you move and groove, any speed, and genre, your choice.  Or make a playlist of several favorites.

Rub your hands together and get your energy flowing, then place your hands where they are called to go, anywhere on the body or in the air or on the ground.  There is no prescribed way to best do this, and the most potent will be a self directed experience, a ceremony of meditation in motion.  Then move your hands in such a way that you begin to unwind.  Pull, push, sweep wipe the energy away.  Dance, stomp, prance, using arms legs spine, whole body.  Twirl, whirl and unwind these invisible ribbons, cut the threads that tie and bind you.  Get out your machete or chain saw (imaginary!!).  Bathe yourself in light or flame.  Douse yourself with oil or water.  Smudge your field with sage or herbs.  Use a spray of water and essential oils.  Or paint or write, there are as many ways to do this as there are individuals.  Find your style, your method for this May Day.


Make it fun, make it powerful.  Make it joyful and potent. 
You will get the inner sign when you are complete.
Then call in – light, love, joy, new fresh spring energy!  Let that flow of renewal energy flood your field and nurture you at every level.  Honor yourself and your journey, and sit or stand quietly again and see how you feel now.  How much you have shifted your vibration and created free flow in your field.
 
Happy May Day! !*
 
* PS – do this anytime this week or month, or anytime you need it, we are free of the old style of “having to do this on a certain date”.  We are operating in unity field, so anytime you are able is the perfect time
