Re: Zoe?

Hi Beth,

Spiritual certainty is a subtle and simple thing although
it can easily be made hard by thinking it so. As a healer,
I was asked to help facilitate healing in others that I
found challenging and yet, it was the simple act of laying
my hands on someone and I learned I did not have to *know*
how it worked, but that trusting it would work was all I
needed. I do not intellectualize prayer or being a piece
of a bigger picture too much. I understand that I will
resonate with the intent of those who are reaching out
for the same values I am and the rest will fall away.

It also comes down to my internalizing the freedom of
living my own story and releasing the need to *save* the
world. In my mind, once I was able to release all fear,
I found tremendous freedom to be creative and to *feel*
the support of my own divine nature and that of others.
This occasion, for me, will be something as subtle and
sweet as a huge gathering of souls. It *is* an opportunity
to release fear, as well, celebrate being spiritual beings
having a human experience.

In my past, I had fear. Certainly when I was diagnosed
with cancer, my mind and body clutched at fearful thoughts
like a drowning woman. Fortunately, I had an elder who was
a great comfort and walked me through the process of releasing
fear. We started out with the little things, fear of the
dark, fear of HUGE spiders, fear of old yogurt...ggg...
anything in my life I had been fearful of, including death
by cancer, went on a list. I wrote it out. Then I folded
it up and put it in a box. I wrapped it up with a sincere
intent as we were going to give it over to God to take care
of. Then we did a simple ritual and burned the box and let
the fire transmute my fear into a powerful energy for
transformation.

There were a couple of other ways I found very effective
in releasing fear. My favorite was programming my mind,
with the simple mantra, *Release All Fear*. I coupled this
with a little ritual where I would drink water and as I
sipped my water I would tell myself that I was taking in
courage and intending healing on all levels. Whenever I
peed, I let out my fear and then flushed it away. This may
sound silly but it has really worked for me and one of my
friends liked the exercise so well she had special tiles
make for her bathroom floor that say, "release all fear".
It took about 6 months to really internalize it, but the
seeds of releasing the fear of everything you can imagine
really were planted with my first gifting of my fear to
God. Everything after that was reinforcement.

Another woman was an incredible help with teaching me to
protect myself from psychic phenomena. I had been having
some really strange stuff going on and she was a sensitive
and so was able to connect with what was going on. I learned
that vibrationally, there are universal laws, but it is also
like a turf war, and so if I am passing through a frequency,
I may experience some strange stuff unless I use my intent
to protect myself. This is easily done by simply stating
that, unless someone or something has permission of my higher
self, they are not allowed to communicate with me, or interact
with me, etc. So far, I have never failed to use this intent,
with my healing work and with all my dealings on an energetic
level. We live in a free-will reality but we also have to use
it. In a situation like this healing wave, simply *intend*
your prayer, your energy, your will, be used for your highest
good and the good of the planet. Whatever way you find to feel
comfortable, you should go with that. As humans, we do have
blind spots and so the only way we can trust our reality is
to rely on our over or higher self. This may or may not resonate
with you, but certainly, I have found great comfort in relying
on mine.

Otherwise, I am someone who finds it easy to connect with others
in prayer. For so many years, I have gone out at night to pray.
I look up at the stars and I know with total certainty that I am
not alone in doing this. I like to think that me and hundreds of
thousands of others are feeling the same way. It is not defined
by any special intent other than the wish for peace and healing.
There are many many people who will feel this wave of energy
who have no idea that there is a planetary calling on this one
day, in this one hour. There will be plenty of people who will
feel something and their soul and their divine will will resonate
and sing the healing song they feel in their heart. It can even
be someone who is indigenous, who has never read a book or heard
about the internet, but as he or she sits on the ground or their
feet walk through their world, they will experience a knowing
and join in.

I know that this one woman has stood up and said, lets do this.
I have dialup so have not listened to the music or watched the videos
and yet, I resonate with this effort. On one hand it is sad that
some would turn over this simple plea, to pray for healing
and peace, and analyze it and choose to inject fearful thoughts
into this simple message. For those who do feel that fear, it could
be a very fearful experience. If you ever watched the movie,
Dune, Altreya was tested by placing his hand through a hole in
a box. The box was empty but his fear of the unknown was a great
trial for him and very painful. It was only through his release
of fear that he found peace and success. Likewise, this opportunity
to spend an hour with millions of others praying for peace and healing
has been turned into an exercise of releasing fear. For me it will
be easy and I do *appreciate* that this has happened since if one
is able to see past the fear, the empowerment of being a part of
a planetary if not universal exercise in intention can be incredible.
I really look forward to it. There are no accidents on a higher
level, so perhaps, you will not be alone in being tested...

This reminds me too of one of my more powerful exercises in intending.
I like to go out in nature and actually lay out a prayer circle
and sit in it. I did this once and had chosen to intend. I spent
hours intending for everyone and anything I could think of. This
was a good way to creatively expand my act of intending. It was
so cool since you could give away and share so much energy and all
by the act of intending. In giving you receive~~!

Another thing I am hearing is that you find it challenging to be
around others and keep your mind clear. This can be challenging
especially if you are sensitive. Personally, I have done it both
ways, but prefer to find my own space and clear my mind and then
feel for my connect. For me, there is an actual click and I am
"in the beam" or the flow of the energy. I trust that the bliss
will be there and so perhaps that intent is what facilitates it
happening. I just know that it does. Being in Texas, it is difficult
to find a piece of ground to sit on that the fire ants do not
send out the call~~human down~~and they come to bite you, so I
have my *sweet spot* in our seminar room where I will sit by
myself and join in.

For those who may find they wake up late or the time is not very
convenient, but another time would be, it is an option that they
can use their intent and state, "by the law of correspondence, THIS
time, (whatever time they have to devote an hour to prayer) NOW
represents 11:11". Like I have said before, it is the intent which
will be more important than anything. Also, you can visualize
the wave like a bell curve or a rolling sine wave. There will be
some who start early and there will be the huge swell in the middle
and then the tail or thinning out of the wave. I am not going to be
watching a clock myself. I plan on setting my alarm and being up
early, but also plan on staying late...ggg.

Go with the flow if you can wrap your mind around it. I cannot
take your concerns away for you, but I can share that I feel
fine about my own intent and prayers and certainly will include
you in them...ggg.

Many blessings,
Zoe
