The alder tree family rooted abundantly here at Bear Cove, North Vancouver Island, stands as tall as 60 feet. There are two uniquely rising trees, reaching up to touch grey clouded skies, both well established in one root and firmly committed to the common ground called EARTH.
One is slightly taller, branches expanding its expression to the space beyond while the other, with three specifically thick branches, expresses itself thusly.
Within 3 feet of this well rooted partnership thrives two smaller alders, one with 12 expanding branches, the other with 4-5. These alders are rooted beneath the fertile soil to the same EARTH. All share that common ground without competing, with a spirit of cooperating, with a sense of being naturally wildly guided to rise!
Their greyish white bark is marked with worm pathways, with lines of breaking through in order to express, with the marks of ages of weathers and climates and changes here at the Cove. Only one has been marred by humans with a branch chain sawed off to prevent it from falling upon a human vehicle.
Leaves of the past summer have fallen away and are composting on the grass beneath the alder families rising place. Composting without complaint that the summer is over and thus, preparing for the winters solace and turning inwards.
The mother and father alders with two younger ones all reach up, some branches weaving into the evergreen of cedar branches. On this full moon eclipsia, family contains all that each and the whole needs, expressing HER, Mother Gaia, from which all came into being.
(In these days of long nights and shorter days, human families have much to unlearn and to rest within as the global family trauma unfolds.)
Humans, in my observations, are experiencing distressors not yet resolved, deep feelings requiring a time and space to express, ancestral traumas and tragedies that have lived beneath the soils of Pachamama and are now requiring assistance in order to be honored and owned.
Families relive the grief of silenced violences, often substituting consumption of “stuff”, unhealthy foods, alcohol, marijuana (now chemicalized), tobacco (also tainted with chemicals), netflix, and harmful forms of work.
All justifying these choices with incredibly creative excuses all leading to: “I will die of starvation, my family will die, I am helpless in the face of these entities of harm, so I might as well..” and thus the genius of the inner children is suppressed and masked. The gifts of our outer children are masked and controlled.
How confusing these days and longer nights are when parents and children expose themselves to statistics, to images, and enact behaviors without doing diligence of inquiring: WHAT IS TRUTH ACTUALLY?
There is a scared-ness of inner children no matter the age of the two legged, that once more MOTHER will abandon, the FATHER will neglect for the sake of work and money, that CHILD will be left alone and violated with the adults’ incoming fury and fear wrapped up in shame and doubt.
Breathing lessens, body parts and musculature tighten, the immune system begins to shut down as despair arises. Where is the MOTHER in whom I can trust to feed me, my go to? What happened to these two huge beings, so much taller than I, that they argue so much with such rancor?
That they retreat out there to smoke, to drink adult lemonade, to hide in the obscurations of long hours on computers, facetimes, whats-app, television? The inner child begins its lifetime and lifeline of contractions on what configuration of disease is beginning to take form.
Then the anger, the fury, the rage breaks through the surfaces of numbed down life forces. Retaliation, revenge, resistance to what is at home since what is beyond is also much too huge! A whop of an adult hand on a bare buttock that leaves an impression for years, the repeat of what was once done to that adult as a child, to the parent MOTHER as a child, and more silencing. No apology.
Justification that the child is to blame for the parent’s emotional reaction. While the diet may be clearing divisive, the waters may be contaminated, the gardens may be flooded, asbestos buried in the ceilings of work places, the electromagnetic frequencies are too high for humans to be flooded with, and the NEWS continues to pollute the branches, to hurt the seeds, to harm the bark (skin), to damage the heart of the alder tree family.
Families, in my knowing, are the containers in which most of these ancestral pain bodies express themselves. Yet, as with alders, family members have a common ground, a cyclical and seasonal life, and rites of passage for each one of them. Families, once the silences have been broken, have treasures from ancestors who migrated from long ago places.
Families have resources to be shared lovingly with one another. Families have inherent worth and music, songs and dances, colours and ways of being that can be regenerative!
What does it require for FAMILY to rejuvenate in these times of external authorities and uninvestigated decisions impacting each member?
Like that alder, a family needs to have each parent stating its common vision, declaring their common values, listing their priorities so that all is made visible not invisible and assumed. Family needs to have support from the extended family members, wisdom passed on from those who walked this earth before them.
Families need these times to recuperate from the imprisonment by false gods, image makers, creation takers such as climate polluting corporations, clearcutting logging companies, agribusiness that contaminates the soils, waters, and airways with chemical fertilizers.
Families deserve truths and principles by which to self educate so that our future culture, our children, will have legacies that feed the souls. Families need parenting education with investments in detoxification, re-integration, re-nutrification programmes bringing the light of a new earth economy to the kitchen table. Parents need to say YES to that as a vision quest for the benefit of all of our relations.
Given these are what Grandmother deems necessary in these times of ethical crisis and transition from powers and patriarchy over us, how does a FAMILY begin?
*Inventories: go through one room at a time and empty each and every drawer and cupboard and make note: DOES THIS SERVE OUR LOVE OR NOT?
*Learn kinesiology and realize the central intelligence of our bodies can guide us to lean into what is a YES and move away with NO.
*Complete a VALUES inventory individually as parents and then come together and do one as a couple.
*When the children are older, have them complete one as well and share in COUNCIL or CIRCLE ways.
*Complete a MANDALA with each member of family taking one colour and completing it together.
*Invest in a FAMILY CALENDAR and begin a daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal JOB JAR so that there is equal distribution of tasks and so that children can realize fully what is required to be a parent, an adult and to contribute according to interests and abilities.
*Learn to meditate together, to do a daily practice of yoga or presencing and breathing together.
*Learn to self and other regulate through THETA brainwave length trainings and thus to entrain to the higher realms.
*Set up a FAMILY tree on a huge wall and co-create one’s own tree, its gifts and legacies, include the traumas, then co-create the other’s.
*Listen deeply to the body’s languaging of responses to these gifts (for tragedy does hold treasure.)
*Learn how to compassionately communicate and join a listening circle for accountability allies.
*Review The Four Agreements with Don Miguel Ruiz and take up the JOURNAL for disciplined responsibilities for agreements.
*Do an assessment of the foods, supplements, herbals in the house including organic seeds for the garden for next season.
*Often we need a Nutritional Consultant to step into the coach position when the assessment is a higher priority.
*Do an assessment of the energy efficiency in your living space (get help if necessary)
*Enter into a non-judgmental agreement and co-create a safe space for financial ins and outs.
*Enter into a love coaching relationship to move through that without sabotage
*Invest time space and appreciation for your living quarters by laying down a BA GUA, from feng shui and feel that flowingness.
These are just some of my favorite FAMILY commitments. Resources are plentiful once parents step beyond the victim paradigm, move through codependence indicators, release the addictions to reveal the ancestral pains and LO and BEHOLD, there is freedom on the other side of these stuck places.
Since March 2020, I have been studying Dr Peter Levine’s releases from PTSD and now am diving deeper into Mark Wolynn’s “It Did Not Start With You” (Bert Hellinger’s family constellation genius!) Highly recommended. I stand with the last page: “It did not start with us and it can indeed end with us!”
What have I discovered that has been liberating and enlivening?
*Our mother knew that her father slowly killed her mother (I was 15yrs old) and never revealed it.
*That all 5 of the siblings kept silences that hurt themselves and their relationships believing that there was nothing they could do.
*That our mother stepped into her mother in laws shoes and developed profound capacities for financial planning, investing, and supporting our father’s dreams as well as family education and holy days (that decision kept her business oriented rather than loving being a mama.)
*That I chose this path of MOTHER LINE and FATHER LINE and now stand in the TRIUNE RAYS of this way of clearing nervous systems and muscles and the brain from what had remained a tension within.
*That my first husband’s family also had a murder of a sibling that was silenced.
*That women in both lines were sexually molested and abused and thus, ended up with hysterectomies, cysts.
*That there is a deep abiding loyalty amongst those so violated that silence was the way to remain superficially connected, hinting at the pain, never owning it or discovering with compassion what the costs of suppression were for all relations and later, what drove the perpetrator to that violent action.
There is so much more as I can now see my FAMILY TREE with greater expansiveness, rooting way back to Finland, the northwest and Huukila, to Karelia and the southeast, into Russia and its soldiering and mysticism.
In sweat lodges, I have screamed for the deaths of the Sami people as Stalinist Russians occupied those far northern lands and took our children for assimilation through rectangular shaped schools with uniforms.
For thirteen moons, 2010 -11, I was called to the shores of the Cheakamus River, BC, to tend with apprentices and young people, a sacred fire till SHE the MOON rose and set! The circle of stones had an entranceway dedicated to my Mumu who died slowly and then swiftly with a homemade chastity belt around her womb, locked and opened only by my grandfather.
(Her name was sounded each lodge: Maria and Josefiina: Mary and Joseph became the archetypes of that lodge, birthing a crystal clarity of purpose through each participant.)
It has been nine months now, since the calling not of our Grandmothers names, nor of the Silver Ray of the Mother Line nor the Golden Ray of the Father Line, but rather of the greatest virus called FEAR was invoked.
We have witnessed the masking of our faces, the chemical sanitizing of our precious palms of hands, we have tolerated the abuse of power and the core wound of the belief in powerlessness, in our homes, in local businesses, in governments and world organizations dedicated to health.
Our children have been shrouded in these electromagnetic bindings, kept from the truth of what they really are: starseeds with crystal clarity of purpose here to illuminate parents! Genealogical trauma is repeating and now, finally, like the PEACOCK FULL MOON, we are readying to display our FULLEST COLOURS.
MILLIONS are saying, Enough is Enough. Organizations are collaborating and partnering in ways that are so co-creative! Millions are gathering to meditate together to infiltrate the fog of fear around planet Earth. Hundreds of thousands are innovating ways to counteract the compromises of the immune systems.
More and more are co-creating healthy natural ways to sanitize hands and minds. Courses are being created and put on line so that education is happening in homes so needing them.
Don Ciriello of the Guatemalan Highlands once iterated that these were the times of Mas Grande Purificado and indeed, they are!
AND YES we are preparing for the outliving of the consequences of our core wounds: more power outages, food shortages, water shortages, and other ways of violence as the ending of this cycle continues until it too shall compost itself on the brown face of Mother Earth!
(All is temporary, all passes, change is the only constant, and thus, this too shall change.)
AND for the first time in known and recorded two legged stories, there is a common agreement: this is a cosmogenesis, a complete re-scripturing of our holy books, a time for revelations and genius to be shared not in Board Rooms, rather in councils, circles, lodges with the witnessing by the Sacred Fire. An agreement to redistribute our wealth and let love neutralize the acidic natures of our inflamed souls!
We are finally on the edge of making a collective LEAP forward into the conscious co-creation of a new EARTH that in our hearts, we know we are responsible for.
What would that be like for each of us at Co-Creavatars? What would it be like to journey into an envisioning of a FAMILY future for the sake of our children’s genius to be protected and our wilderness and wisdoms to be preserved?
Just for today, GMA’s invitation is to meditate upon this, to envision this and deepen into this transmission initiation as fully as possible, repeating it with dedication. recording your observations, feelings, needs met, other requests arising:
*Take your seat of sovereignty and be comfortable.
*Smudge the space or light a candle to signify, this is a holy place and time.
*Look to your left and image and claim: Silver Ray of the Mother Line come through our mother’s lineage now. Rest in this and be sensitive for that which is called, comes.
*Look to your right and image and claim: Golden Ray of the Father Line come through our father’s lineage now.
(Rest in these and be sensible, for they will come as called.)
*Bring your awareness to your higher heart, your thymus (TIME WE ARE US)
*Invoke the presence of the Platinum Ray, that of your divine inner child.
*Rest in this and be conscious, for it shall arise!
*If you have siblings, let your bodhi serve as an instrument for invoking
each one of them as presence and Platinum Rays, naming them now as divine children.
Rest in these resets of your heart your mind your brain your bodhies and souls purposes.
Observe the results of this claiming ceremony and relax.
As you arise from this deeply seeded way of the TRIUNE RAYS, check in with your feet, your calves, your knees, your thighs, your womb groins, your solar plexus, your heart, your throat, your third eye, your crown and sense the soul star of purpose above your crown!
Then let those frequencies resolve themselves through shoulders, through upper arms, through elbows, through forearms, into hands and fingers!
Be with the embodiment of these precious RAYS and experience this living loving light way of FAMILY!
Tightening all muscles three times and releasing, come back to your seat of sovereignty and just observe from the back of your skull into your space and note what has changed.
You are now the change.
You are welcome to repeat this every holy day until Winter Solstice as preparation for that greatest of dark night ceremonies from December 19 to 22, ending 2020 by taking a cosmic leap over the Great Fire.
What will be unfolding on the other side of this ending of cycles is truly determined by those of us committed to serving as the CHANGE. All that we are waiting for is within us completely.
As Krishnamurti once noted, “Fear is a living experience that once experienced no longer directs our attentions, nor our focus.”
A Course in Miracles; In my defenselessness lies the truth of love.
~ For all our relations ~
