We stand here now, with the freedom to explore the expansive territory of our infinite potential.  As time unfolds, we are much closer to realizing that we are the Designers of the Map, that Time’s great spiral destiny is unraveling through humanity’s devotion to Illumination.  It is becoming lucidly clear that illuminating the Self is ‘Prime Directive’ and interwoven with illuminating the Planet.  Our personal evolution is not only inseparable, but absolutely critical, to the Earth’s awakening.

To cast no shadow is to become your own Light Source — radiant, emanating Ambassador of the Great Central Sun — no longer living off the light of others or hiding within the dark folds of the ego’s secret delusions and agendas.  The Earth speaks her intelligent request: “Clear your fields, align your intent and raise your vibration, so that our work together is impeccable and sent forth for the highest good of us all.”

As we wake up to our soul’s inherent design as Earth Steward / Light keeper / Healer, some of us are left bewildered at how we can possibly live up to the potential of this insistent message we hear from within.  The seed of our Ultimate Embodiment has just begun to sprout through the layers of soil that have been gestating us.  At times, it feels a daunting task to climb the spiral ladder of consciousness, outgrow limiting patterns, egoic comforts, fears, and self-doubt, to become a Divine Human, and to do it quick enough to ’save the planet’ from the ‘deluge of darkness’.  Breathe deep and exhale here.  Rest assured, the seed of your soul has a perfect timing mechanism of awakening, as does every other soul, along with the planet and communal consciousness. We are all perfectly interweaving, attracting the right inner and outer experiences to spark the continuum of our healing and awakening.  Strengthening, honoring, and blissfully surrendering to our unique inherent gifts is all that is needed.  To succeed collectively, we must offer unconditional support for each other’s individual choices during this process.

For many of us, 2008 challenged the stability of our identity by unraveling our subconscious imprints and areas of our personality that are outdated for these accelerated times.  We brought these to the surface by manifesting situations that would test the infrastructure of our being.  We are in the dynamic recalibration that comes during times of crisis, and like a centrifuge, that which is not sound and integral to our Divine Axis must spin off. In 2009 this process continues, but also sees the blossoming of our infinite potential flowering open, as the sheaths of the bud yield to the explosive desires of our innermost being to receive the Light.

Yamas – Restraints (Written as Affirmations)

Yamas are about our actions toward people and things:

a) I am kind and loving to all living things, including myself. (Ahimsa – non-violence)

b) I am truthful in thought, word, and deed. (Satya – dedication to Truth)

c) I am self-reliant and have boundless energy to create wealth. (Asteya – non-stealing)

d) I honor my sexuality as a sacred part of me. (Brahmacharya – sexual consciousness)

e) I am free from attachments and expectations. (Aparigraha – non attachment)

Niyamas – Observances (Written as Affirmations)

Niyamas are about nurturing yourself:

a) I keep myself and my environment pure. (Shauca – purity)

b) I am content, accepting and learning from events in my life. (Santosha – contentment)

c) I live simply, free from unnecessary distractions. (Tapas – focused enthusiasm)

d) I study my Self with inquisition and non-judgement. (Svadhyaya – self inquiry)

e) I unite myself with God and God merges with me. (Ishvara-Pranidhana – oneness with Spirit)

Asana

“The spinal column must be held straight and the body firm, in a comfortable position for meditation.” Patanjali doesn’t happen to mention the thousands of other asanas we have been learning in Hatha Yoga Classes. Yoga, as you have probably assumed by now, is not just the asanas and physical movements we have focused on practicing here in the West. But, steady poses help us to concentrate, become ultra aware of our physical body and move us into a meditative state.

Pranayama

Pranayama means breath control. In yoga practice, this is our intimate relationship with our life force (prana). The breath carries vital energy through our system and gives every cell oxygen. Breathing exercises and breath focus have a great purpose in Hatha Yoga practice: It helps us pay close attention to our body and ourselves, it brings relaxation by creating mental serenity, it builds physical heat within the body allowing us to stretch deeply without injury, and it rejuvenates through the releasing of dormant energy. Without proper breathing, yoga postures are incomplete and benefits won’t be attained.

Pratyahara

Pratyahara means “withdrawal of the senses”. To relax deeply and have a clear head, we sometimes need to detach ourselves from the external world. This doesn’t mean that we completely lose contact with outer reality, we just don’t let ourselves be disturbed by it. It is the feeling of hearing a sound, but it being far enough from us that it doesn’t cause us to react. The practice of pratyahara can be done in relaxation poses such as Savasana (the corpse pose), in asana practice, and even in daily life situations. Pratyahara teaches us that we have the power to choose how we respond to the external world.

Dharana

Dharana is the act of focusing our attention on a single thing. The goal is to become aware of nothing but the object in which you are concentrating. This is often done by fixating on a divine form (such as a picture of a spiritual master). As we hold our mind within a center of spiritual consciousness, we are connecting to the Truth within us. Other focal points are: a candle’s flame, the nose (which is also cleansing for the eyes), the “third eye” chakra, a mantra, and the breath. The practice of Dharana trains the mind to eliminate any excess thought or junk from our consciousness.

Dhyana

Dhyana is the state of meditation. It is the state in which uncluttered mind and heightened awareness lead to complete stillness. The focus is clear and vast – awareness resting on the All in the moment – without preferences. Meditation can be achieved through practice of Dharana and Pratyahara, Pranayama, and even Asana.

Samadhi

Samadhi means “to merge”. It is the ultimate goal of yoga. It is defined as a state of super consciousness where one has achieved, for any amount of time, oneness with the universe. This integration, or union of the All, is wonderfully blissful and is believed to be the true expression of our Eternal Self.

May all beings be peaceful.

May all beings be happy.

May all beings be safe.

May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.

May all beings be free.

Yoga is Creativity.

Creativity is a divine gift from God to humanity which anyone can access. Whether it is painting, ritual, music or movement we can all receive some type of benefit from creative expression. My on-going creative project is Yoga. How? Well…the simplest way for me to put it is: There are over 14,000 different postures (Asanas) and 50 different styles (Disciplines). A person can put together any routine for their own schedule or liking. Most styles involve some sort of relaxation. Whether a person is moving, breathing, or meditating, eventually there comes a time when the mind opens up and thoughts quiet down. This is where real insight and creativity happens. I don’t know HOW it happens. It just does. An exquisite mystery.

Yoga is Healing.

The ultimate goal of yoga is union with the All; it is to become completely aware of the Self or soul. The natural progression of practicing yoga leads one to: peace of mind and heart; power of will, love, and intellect; direct influence of the mind upon the body and the world outside the body; psychic abilities of various kinds; control of mind and better concentration; control of the emotions (removal of worry, pride, anger, fear, lust, and greed); bodily health, suppleness, beauty and longevity; and the prevention and removal of psychosomatic dangers and troubles. The Yoga Sutra’s Yamas (things to avoid) and Niyamas (things to do) are guidelines for living a life of integrity and truth. It is not necessary to obey these rules because these are just suggestions to live a happier, more fulfilled life. Yoga heals by allowing us to experience life in the continuous unfolding moment.

Yoga is Community.

Together, when people do yoga, something magical happens. There’s a wonderful feeling of togetherness, love, and camaraderie. This may manifest because each person starts to take responsibility for their life, beliefs, and experience. Yoga teaches that when the flow of the universe treats you kindly or harshly, you have control of your own attitude and outlook.The community of people studying and practicing yoga quickly becomes tight. I believe yoga brings people together in a magnetic sense; we want to share the bounty of its blessings with one another. A big group, focusing on transcending themselves, is a pretty incredible force of energy! As a teacher, I am excited to be able to share some of yoga’s power with my community.

Yoga is Committment.

Practice meditation (Dyana), breathing techniques (Pranayama), yoga postures (Asanas), and a deep relaxation (Savasana) at least three times a week. To really feel the essence of yoga, it is important to declare that yoga become part of your daily life. This is a committment that is only bound by your own will. Once you see the magic that yoga creates in your life, you will only want to continue with it.

May all beings be peaceful.

May all beings be happy.

May all beings be safe.

May all beings awaken to the light of their true nature.

May all beings be free.

Puma and I had an amazing interview with Dr Vernon Woolf last week. His message for us was both inspirational and sobering. On the inspirational side, he told us that the timing of One Spirit Weekend is vital. We need leaders in their chosen field of expertise to step forward now more than ever. On the sobering side, he said that the time to take physical action is rapidly ticking down. Based upon all of the scientific data which he has available to him; the human race has as little as 2 years and perhaps as much as 25 years to change the WAY we are interacting with one another and this earth. I believe we are all sharing his sense of urgency. As a species we have been ignoring all of the warning signals so long that the world is literally on the brink of destruction. This is a pivotal point in our collective human consciousness.

Whether you believe personally you can make a difference to reverse this situation or you believe there is nothing you can do; you are right!

When I asked Dr. Woolf how to know what information is the right information, he said that the scientific information available regarding the physical status of our planet is undeniable. There are vested individuals who would rather we did not have all the facts. It is vital to carefully examine the source of any information you hear or read.

For 30 years Dr. Woolf has been teaching people how to utilize consciousness in order to “act responsibly” this is why we are so excited to have Dr. Woolf presenting our keynote address at One Spirit Weekend! He is at the forefront of changing physical reality. Not simply talking about it or theorizing about what could be done, he has been actively doing it! For 9 years Dr. Woolf worked with the Russian people as they transitioned from communism into a functional social and economic system. His program of Holodynamics was accepted and utilized by most levels of government as well as the scientific community. This comprehensive system of consciousness was integrated into many aspects of Russian life and lead to the largest privatization of land in the history of the world. This was accomplished without the need for war. Humbly, Dr Woolf says that during this entire time he never told anyone what to do. He simply taught the science of consciousness and people worked together to bring about the changes they wished to see.

What changes do you wish to see in our world? What is the legacy you wish to leave for future generations? Dr Woolf brings practical and demonstrable solutions to the problems which we are now facing. Based upon his success in Russia and his understanding of consciousness, he has designed “tracks” to direct your efforts in your particular area of leadership expertise. He will teach you the steps necessary to reach your full leadership potential so that together we may lead this world to a new WAY of being.

Please take the time to research Dr Woolf and www.Holodynamics.com then schedule your travel arrangements to join us in Sedona October 2- 5, 2009

Sincerely,

Morgan Langan

Yes you! Yes everyone!  Everyone has the potential to be a leader.  Especially now, all voices, all ideas, all perspectives, all talents, all skills, all resources and all hands are needed to dream and manifest new sustainable solutions into our collective reality.  Each of us will be called to lead in different ways.

What does leadership look like today? We may be using an outdated view of what it is to be a leader.  Many think that being a leader means to hold office, be a public speaker, a CEO, a best-selling author or be interviewed on CNN.   However, as times change, so too must our interpretation evolve as to what it is to be a leader.

As a parent, business owner, teacher, politician, author, craftsman, musician or coach, being a leader starts first with your leadership character.

Here are some simple ways you can lead by being a shining example for others in your family or community to emulate.

* Be in integrity with your word

*Be brave enough to choose the road less traveled or even pave a new path for yourself and others

*Follow your true heart’s passion

*Choose compassion over judgment in all situations

*Accept and honor the value of diversity in our world

*Live in harmony with the environment as you lighten your impring by reducing, reusing and recycling

*Exhibit random acts of kindness when least expected and without expectation

*Speak your perspective passionately and compassionately

*Speak kind words to others

*Express bold new ideas and solutions to old problems instead of complaining about them ~ break out of your comfort zone

*Choose Faith over fear

*Help those less fortunate

*Live financially within your means

*Live a balanced life honoring your health, spirituality, family and profession

*Take ownership for your choices and your reality

*Be loving and authentic in your personal and family relationships

How can you lead in your profession?

*Exhibit exceptional ethics in your business dealings

*Be on time and follow through with your commitments

*Switch out blame and gossip in the workplace for clear, positive communication

*Bring innovative and creative solutions to the challenges of the business

*Seek to implement sustainable and environmentally-friendly approaches

Anyone in the community, in addition to parents, can exemplify leadership qualities for our youth.

*Model and teach your young ones how to respect others, exhibit moral values, honesty, sportsmanship, cooperation, tolerance, patience, accountability, exploration and compassion

*Give your youth stable environments, healthy structure and a strong foundation on which to establish their roots

*Give children a space to spread their individual wings and express their perspectives, feelings, creativity and passions

Leadership can be that simple and it starts with you and your own leadership character.  With impeccable leadership, you can go into any arena and make monumental change happen fast. If it is your calling to write a book, address the school board, be a member of the US Congress, or chair a new organization, these simple suggestions will help you lead in any situation, with integrity, and with the respect and support of your peers.  I invite you to look within and find your awakening leader; step up and make a difference today in your life, family and community.

If you would love support on your path as an awakening leader, join Kerrie Dancing Butterfly along with other world-renowned inspirational speakers at One Spirit Weekend in Sedona, October 2^nd-5^th.  Receive the latest information and proven strategies to help you accelerate your potential in the fields of prosperity, vibrant health, empowerment, spirituality, sustainability and conscious business.  Enjoy yoga, meditation, Earth Dance Ceremony & great community!

My shadow is my friend. When my shadow appears, so does the opportunity to look inward and discover what illusions, delusions, addictions, attachments and projections are still present within me. When my shadow presents itself, during what seems like the most inopportune moments, it shows me where to shine the light.

• When I find myself preoccupied with time and life’s daily “To Do” list—my shadow presents itself.
• When I haven’t made my physical, emotional or spiritual needs a priority, and I feel out of balance—my shadow presents itself.
• When I project permanence to things that are ever-evolving like relationships, finances or fragile life itself—my shadow presents itself.
• When I attach a greater value to success or material items over a person’s feelings—my shadow presents itself.
• When l look at a situation with fearful eyes instead of seeing the situation resolved with my loving faith—my shadow presents itself.
• When I judge or criticize the choices of another—my shadow presents itself.

It is during these times I realize that I have allowed myself to become disconnected from what really matters.  I am separate from my true self, my self-love, my love for others and the Divine Source.

My shadow and I are now face to face.  There is no denying its presence.  In order to get my attention my shadow whispers or sometimes shouts for the light to shine in upon the darkness that resides within. The shadow pleads for change by expressing itself through the emotions.  When my shadow is present, I may act irritable, impatient, intolerant, angry, anxious, jealous, fearful, lonely, hungry, confused or sad.  My shadow is emotional and wants my attention.

It is here in this intimate space with my friend the shadow that I am exposed and vulnerable. I am in no danger, just more susceptible than ever to seeing the truth. Instead of looking in the mirror I sometimes turn away and search for someone or something to fill the void.  In our world today, there are many places to hide from the truth—in a wine bottle, in a pint of ice cream, in other people’s problems, in pointing the blame elsewhere or in another person’s arms.  These choices may only temporarily ease the pain. In the long run these choices exacerbate the feelings of disconnection from true self because they are self-sabotaging in nature.

Nothing can dim my own light quicker than my own darkness.

Luckily, my friend the shadow is here to help me. When I make the conscious choice to look inward and see the truth, I discover my shadow’s emotions are calling attention to a situation that is keeping my true light from shining bright. Once, I step back, take a deep breath and witness the situation, the emotional drama begins to dissolve, clearing the way for the truth to be exposed. In this calmer space, it is usually quite apparent where the real problem is and how to address it.  Somewhere I am not being truly loving of myself or others. Somewhere I am projecting or blaming or attaching to a situation. Somewhere I have lost faith in myself or someone else.  Somewhere I have lost site of those precious things in life that really matter. By remedying the situation, my friend the shadow has helped me to reconnect with my true self and reignite my inner light.

The real opportunity presents itself when I allow my shadow’s subtle or overt clues from my emotional body to be heard.  The rewards for listening, as well as acting, on the insights gleaned from this process are profound!  It is I who am the keeper of my internal light. When I truly want to shine, no person or situation can dim my light.  We are all meant to shine, each in our own uniquely resilient light.

I used to be embarrassed by my shadow. Now, I am grateful to have such a close friend that knows me more intimately than anyone else. With gratitude, I receive the teachings my shadow offers me. It is with great humility and respect for my shadow that I have come to truly love myself as a whole beautiful being.

“So, my friend, my shadow, I see you, I honor you and I respect you.  I am here to listen and learn about my true self through our dance together. I choose to find balance in my life, love myself and others unconditionally and follow my path in faith guided by Divine Light.  I trust that when I stray, you will show up to help me find the way.”

What is the nature of your relationship with your shadow?

Congratulations on embarking on becoming a leader in your own self care program. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or just starting out by reading this article you are on your way to becoming a Leader in your own life. Now the fun begins!

As we embark on a healthier path we become bombarded with information and a lot of times it contradicts other health advice we are taught. It can become very confusing. It seems everyone has their “science based” opinion about the do’s and don’ts of what to eat, how to exercise, what mind set to have, what spiritual practice is the best, what healing modality will heal certain ailments, what gadget is the best etc.

There is a lot of information to decipher to find what is right for you. This process can be daunting when all you want to do is “know” what is right for you and then focus your time, energy and money on executing the best self- care plan possible for you. Sometimes it is easier for someone else to tell you what to do, which has been occurring for a long time in the health care industry but not the most effective.

Every person is an individual. Yes, we are born with the same parts; heart, liver, hands, feet etc. but due to our belief systems, ancestry, genes and other factors we operate very differently from one another.  So it is very difficult and many times unsuccessful to treat an individual’s health problems the same way as another’s with similar symptoms.

The key to helping self-decipher all the information and advice, is to develop ones’ intuition. When you are guided by your intuition it can become easier to feel, sense and know what is right and wrong for you. Your internal guidance system will direct you into your highest potential and the best self-care program.

There are various ways to strengthen your intuition; your internal guidance system. The three main areas to begin with are the physical, mental and spiritual bodies.  Here are the basics to begin the strengthening process of your intuition. Please note that even though these three areas are separated, they exist together as a whole, they work together to create One Spirit, and therefore the tools & techniques for each area overlap and help with all the bodies.

Physical body: Cleansing the body of toxins and excess waste will help you become a better listener to it’s messages. Toxins in the body can prevent someone from being able to clearly hear their internal guidance system.

Mental body: Learning tools and techniques to quite the mind of chitter chatter will help you to hear or visualize the REAL messages that are meant for you.  Meditation, breathing exercises & yoga are just a few of the many powerful ways to access the minds intuitive nature.

Spiritual body: All the techniques for the physical and mental body will naturally guide you on your spiritual path. When you have physically detoxed, are practicing yoga and meditation, your internal guidance system will naturally lead you on a spiritual path that reflects your true nature.  When your heart and mind process spiritual and religious ideas and concepts you will receive clearer guidance on what the truth is for you.

Your self-care program based on your internal guidance system will provide a strong foundation for you being a leader in your life, a path to Independence!

May you love as a PassionFruit flower lives

By Kerrie Dancing Butterfly

One of my favorite fruits and flowers is the Passionfruit.  The flower of this vine has inspired me more than any other flower.  It has a beauty and boldness that is unparalleled. This extraordinarily radiant flower blossoms for just 2-3 days and then closes to incubate the most succulently tasty fruit I have ever experienced. Recently, I treated myself to a passionfruit vine and am blessed right now to wake and view these inspirational blossoms every day.  The first time I saw this flower in Hawaii years ago, I was so inspired by its form that I was called to write this poem that I would love to share with you…

Passionfruit Flower Sends Loving Wisdom

Ever-expanding, vibrant, confident and bold

Trusting, vulnerable, a beauty to behold

Divine messages encoded within its essence

Sweet nectar tasted within its presence

Generous with the bounty of euphoric bliss

Gifting a deep affectionate and genuine kiss

Dancing and laughing with the breeze

Surrendering to cosmic flow with ease

Honoring the presence of Spirit inside

Opens the heart without fear–nothing to hide

True flower of love has no inhibition to shine

Swirling, ascending, blending over time…

May you LOVE as a Passionfruit Flower LIVES

“Raising your vibration is a choice.

You are the master of your own light.

Within you lives this undeniable radiant beauty.

Awaken to your gifts and share them as was intended.”

~Ananda Anahata

Tip #1 Choose Optimal Fuel

The way we fuel our bodies deeply and radically affects the way we think, feel and behave.  By improving our food choices we improve our overall health, stamina and happiness while shaping a new destiny for ourselves. The physical body thrives when fueled by the highest quality fresh fruits, vegetables and other foods provided to us by Mother Nature. Adding more live, organic plant foods full of sun energy, vitamins, enzymes and minerals reconnects us with our own vibrant natural state.

“I choose optimal fuel for this body because it provides me with the energy, clarity, creativity and longevity that I require in order to create magic on this planet.”

Tip #2 Cleanse & Purify the Physical Body 

Periodic cleansing and fasting revitalizes the body enabling it to heal and recharge itself. Through the cleansing process, toxins from processed, cooked foods, chemicals and environmental impurities are released initiating the body’s own healing abilities. Our bodies were originally designed to handle periods of feast and famine and are very capable of thriving while fasting and cleansing. We may choose to fast from a certain substance such as dairy, meat, sugar, coffee, alcohol or solid foods. You may choose to fast from a substance for a weekend, fast one day a month on juices or do an intestinal cleanse once a year. Listen to your body.

“I cleanse and purify my body regularly because this vessel and the beautiful spirit thriving within it have a higher purpose.”

 Tip #3 Mind the Mental Diet

We have the power to shape our reality and it starts with our internal view of the world.  Our thoughts, speech and actions determine our reality and define our future. By shifting the quality of our thoughts from fear to faith, from criticism to compassion, from lack to abundance, from separateness to unity, from hate to love shifts our experience of the world. Listening to our internal dialogue and taking time to pause and reflect before acting gives us the opportunity to choose more wisely. Use powerfully worded daily affirmations to confirm your intentions for a vibrant, thriving life full of bliss, prosperity and love for yourself and others. 

 “I am mindful of the content that I feed my mind. I choose to use positive empowering language with regards to myself, others and my surroundings because my thoughts, speech and actions create the bliss that surrounds me.”

 Tip #4 Clear the Emotional Body

Just as the physical body holds toxins and debris so does the emotional body.  Pains from childhood, being socialized, relationship experiences, family dynamics, economic influences and sexual interactions are just a few of the sources for latent emotional holdings.  These memories shape our views of life affecting the choices we make with regards to relationships, health, success and happiness.  Emotions serve as a window into ourselves.  Exploring these feelings and searching out their source, enables us to release any emotional debris that is inhibiting us from realizing our true potential and experiencing a peaceful, thriving life. Addressing emotional issues is a vital and necessary process of spiritual growth and personal transformation.

 “I embrace the opportunity to look inward and shine a light where darkness resides in order for my true self to fully blossom.”

 Tip #5 Connect to Higher Consciousness

It is when the mind is quiet and the body still that the real truth may be revealed.  In this space we are primed to receive messages with regards to our purpose and how to proceed in manifesting our full potential. Our minds our like a turbulent body of water, only in the stillness can one’s reflection be seen.  In this peaceful space one connects to a source of power and wisdom greater than the individual.  Trusting the insights gleaned during meditation provides essential guidance and support along our journey.  According to Dr. Dean Ornish, “The benefits of meditation include expanded awareness, increased concentration, a quieter mind and the experience of transcendence, peace, joy and inner nourishment.”

“I create time and space for reflection and stillness in order for the truth to be revealed to me.”

Subtle improvements in each of these areas enhance the quality of life in the most amazingly joyful ways.  Live, Laugh, Learn, Love and Let Go!

Go Forth and SHINE!

-What I hear, I forget.
-What I see, I remember.
-What I experience, I understand!
 
One Spirit Weekend is about experiencing to understand!
 
During these rapidly changing times, it is vital that each of us clearly understands our role and how to best fulfill that role. It is also imperative that we are aware of the transformations currently taking place and what effect they will have upon the earth as well as you and your family. When you experience yourself as an awakened leader in the presence of hundreds of other like minded leaders, you will understand your unique role.

The experience of dancing together under starlit sky; the joy of sampling the best food available on the planet; the vibration of the Sedona energy; the feeling of community; receiving the latest  information from experts who are living the life they are talking about–these are the experiences we all long for. This is why Puma & I have attended so many festivals–why we have gone to so many conferences–why we are drawn to seminars and retreats.

One Spirit Weekend takes all the successful elements from each of these and combines them into one cohesive experience, with the intention of awakening the leader within each of us, so that when we return to our families, communities and jobs, we do so empowered; knowing that we have a network supporting us in our designated role.
 
The team we have assembled to present this One Spirit Weekend has been guiding and supporting people through the transformational process for decades. As leaders, we too are being called to reach our highest potential. This is our opportunity to step into our roles as leaders.

Please join us as we experience this awakening together as One family.
