Mutant Message Down Under

I just finished the BEST book. Mutant Message Down Under. It's about a woman's journey through the Outback with a tribe of some of the most beautiful people on this planet. The concepts in the book are so eye opening...yet are very clear and plain as day. I highly recommend you read this book. It's a fairly quick read...and trust me...it will change your life. Here are the main things that really settled into my heart as I read.

1-The concept of releasing attachment to wordly possessions and beliefs. The minute we start to do this, is the minute that we move into actually "being."
2-We are all healers...and we are perfectly capable of healing ourselves and each other. I find it really unsettling to know about some of the harsh realities of the relationships between some doctors and their patients. The words.."I'm sorry, there is no cure...you are going to die" is heard WAY TO OFTEN in our world today. How do they know there isn't a cure to illness, cancer and disease?!? They just haven't bloody found it yet!! Also...the concepts of Reiki, accupuncture, light therapy and good ol fashioned positive thinking being just too "new" to rely upon in a bunch of absolute crap. These are some of the oldest healing modalities and techniques in the Universe! If we all just quit poisoning ourselves, and actually held a positive thought once or twice daily, we would no longer need a "health care" reform. Insurance would no longer be needed...and we would be healthy, happy, whole people.
3-Let's stop taking more than we need. And let's stop wasting precious resources. It's taking a tole on our planet.
4-The art of silence, mediation, and quieting our mind is the STRONGEST form of communication we have with the Gods. How can we listen and receive our answers when we are constantly talking? Next time you say a prayer, try silencing your mind for 5 minutes. You'd be surprised at the impressions you receive. This is actually Divine guidance.
5-Let's lift each other up and celebrate the gifts that each of us bring to the table. We are all tiny pieces of the puzzle...so why do we compete? We are one.
6-And last but not least...the importance of giving thanks. For every single thing. Let us all start and end our day with a prayer of gratitude. Here are the things for which I am completely grateful for today...

The words of encouragement i received from my Aunt Debbie this morning. The food that I was blessed in consuming. The nourishment and strength that I received from my food. The people that prepared my food. The animals that contributed to the dairy products I ate. The plants that contributed to the food that I ate. The roof over my head. The car that I drive. The very clothes on my back. A warm bed to rest in. The freedom of being who I am...without getting burned at the stake! The water that I drink and the ocean that it came from. Stones and crystals. My clients who lift me up and support me so that in return, I may give back and serve them. My health. My awareness. My enlightenment. The rain and the cleansing it brings. My family.

Update

After reviewing my recent postings, I noticed I haven't posted a good general update on life in a while. So here goes!

I've been on a path of spirituality and transformation-a quest for knowledge to feed my deep hunger and thirst for the ever changing truths. It's been a good time and I've met a lot of really inspiring people. I began meeting with a women's group in Salt Lake City every month. The focus of the class is work on our ascension-becoming lighter beings and to help usher in the new Golden Age! The women I meet with are amazing. I know we were meant to meet up in this lifetime-as we have done the same work in other lifetimes! I feel closer to earth, yet very close to the sky. I've realized we all have a very important job to do here-and I fully surrender myself to whatever the Universe has in store for me!

On a mundane-earth to Alison! level, I am doing great. I am still working two part time jobs-one at Cosmo Prof and I am also still at the salon a couple days a week. I like it because I have a different schedule everyday and I still have room for all of my spiritual/creative endeavors. Learning to live a life of balance has been my task at hand this summer...and I'm really enjoying it.

As you all know, Rody and I plan to move to Oregon. We've nailed down a for sure time for late next spring. Hopefully May 2010. I love the Portland area, but I would be glad to end up anywhere in the 2 hour stretch of land between Portland and the coast. Rodrigo is currently looking for a job on a ship, so (keep your fingers crossed!) that he finds something soon! This is what his truly desired career path is...and I support him fully in finding his place out in the Sea. I know that everything will be ok and that our relationship will thrive. We will be completely connected-even with him out in the middle of the Ocean for months at a time!

We are training for another Half Marathon in October down in Moab, too. The training has been hard-but rewarding. This will be our first race together. And I am excited for another weekend getaway down in the desert! The weather should be beautiful.

I better be going now-I have a meeting with my Goddess Ladies in Salt Lake City today...and I am so excited for the work we will be doing today.

Namaste!!

My message to the universe...

I've a new way of living and a new life. I'm interested in new exciting things...and there are also a lot of things that I am no longer interested in. With this, relationships have shifted.

I decided to call a gathering at my house tonight for 9/9/09...I planned to do a group meditation to raise an area of energy vibration to usher in more light into the world...to help mankind evolve. I'm quite excited about it...
After going through my contact list, I realized there were only a small amount of people that I could call on to participate in this with me-at least without having them think I was a complete quack! LOL!

Universe-I ask for your help in this:

Please help me to draw more people into my life that are on a similar path, spiritually speaking. I want a spiritual best friend-someone to practice Reiki with me...someone to meditate with me...someone to do moon rituals and rites with...someone to have conversations about world religions...and most of all, SOMEONE WHO IS POSITIVE and can teach me. A balanced friendship(s)...one of give and take in equal amounts. A synergy of light and love.

NO MORE LIGHT VAMPIRES ALLOWED!

I also ask for your help in releasing any blocks about receiving-so that I may open my arms to the changes I want in my life. So that I may open my arms wide to the abundance of the universe. There is plenty to go around...and I just need to declare what is mine.

I wish for change...quantum leap changes. Someone take my life and shake it upside down so that the energy is revived and refreshed and all the old be gone and all the new appear. I wish to do the things I've never done before.

CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE...GIVE ME CHANGE!!!!!!!
