Bio
A simple song, a little story of everyday metaphysics...for anyone who likes the tune! I am a mind-body-spirit writer and energy healer! I love bringing joy to people! And when we remember to see ourselves for who we really are--our Spirit, our essence, which always, always comes from Divine Love--joy is the most natural feeling in the world! *** My little book, Along the Winding Path: A Little Personal Journey, is available on Amazon.com! It's a tale of traveling the spiritual path in today's world, and it's written with healing energy in mind! Part myth, part meditation, this story wants to bring us to a place of peace and joy in life!

Loving Our Waters & Earth! Prayer Request--Summer Solstice

Rate: 10 Flag

On today, our summer solstice, many people are praying for our waters in the Gulf of Mexico and the world over!

Healing prayers and meditations are powerful because they express an intention and because they set a tone. Healing prayers in this case don’t have to be about actual transubstantiation—literally turning oil into water—though surely some Beings less limited than you and I would be capable of such things!

Even on the simplest level, healing prayers change the tone of things for us here on Earth, from powerlessness and anger to healing and Love. In these higher frequencies, quite literally, events and manifestations take a different course than they do in the lower frequencies of anger and fear.

Have we all noticed that when we’re consumed with anger, or even frustrated to the bone, that we’re really giving our power over to that person or entity that evokes anger from us? Have we all noticed that when we’re angry that that’s exactly when things do not go as we would like them to go?

There is a reason that personal powerlessness and these lower frequencies go hand in hand! The solutions we seek in Love and Peace and joy reside in higher frequencies—and we have to hold our Self in these higher frequencies to align with such solutions!

Have we all noticed how answers to problems present themselves as we feel better, answers that did not seem to exist previously? Or have we all been given a solution to a problem or situation when we felt powerless and upset, only to regret later that we did not take the opportunity to resolve it in that moment?

Every day is an important day in Life here on Earth! And perhaps today, on our summer solstice, we will take the time to give thanks to Nature and our Earth! What happens when we as a collective shift our tone to Love and Peace is that the situation itself evolves differently than it otherwise would!

Miracles are welcome, and of course, we would all Love to see clear water and thriving animals and birds and sea Life again! But even as things shift in a less visible way, a shift in tone and energy brings Loving solutions and changes!

Different people will step forward with better solutions in the context and energy of Love and healing, and they will be supported when they do. Ideas already present but not considered or welcomed will become more prominent and will set a course for action!

People and animals already harmed or in harm’s way from this disaster will become more valued and comforted and will find ways to heal, especially with the help of others.

Different values will emerge within our culture that would not lead to this disaster in the first place. And we can set out on a different course for our future!

We Know what the status quo has already brought about. Railing against it, even in righteous indignation, actually allows that status quo and prior decision-making to remain in place. Changing the tone of our interaction with Mother Earth to one of Love carried in the hearts of many certainly does change how we go about things as a culture, even when we have overflowing after-effects of a disaster to quell and heal!

We are all powerful Beings on this Earth, and as we join our prayer and intention together, we become a force of Nature that definitely changes how we Live in our world!

We would welcome miracles right now, of course, to speed recovery to everyone and everything affected in our beloved Gulf! A fortuitous shift of the Earth would be welcome, too, to stop the gushing oil!

But even as we go about our daily Life, we can all join together in calling for Love to be present for the good of everyone!

For anyone so inclined, let’s feel thanks in our heart and our mind today as we think of the Gulf and our waters and how we interact with our Beautiful Earth!

Whether we take time for prayer and meditation and water rituals, or just a moment for thought and intention, we can Know we are helping as we envision clear waters, pristine coastline, and thriving Nature!  As we begin to cherish all of Life everywhere, we begin to Live as One with our Beautiful Mother Earth!

It’s always worth it to work for the good!

I was listening to the Hopi radio station KUYI (it's online finally--my niece is the station manager and she's done sooooo well with that), where a group of elders discussed the significance of this day in the Native world. I'm going to try to write something about that this weekend, if I can. But I thank YOU for remembering this day TODAY. And why it matters more today than it has ever before, perhaps...
Hi, Keka! You're right -- it's important! Especially because we get to determine where we're going!

I'm looking forward to more from you! And more about your niece and the Hopi radio station!

Love to everyone all around! Julie
I love this Julie. I am not a new age sort of person, but I love Julie Shanti.
I believe you are onto something more powerful than these specks we call Each Other.
It's probably our only chance.
What you've said before : reverence. Humility.
I love the way you think. Thank you.
Even though, or especially so, it's Winter Solstice here.
Oh, good point, Kim! Summer or winter, our Earth is all-important! (Especially if we Love Living here!)

And though some of my language is new thought, the concepts have always been here! It's older than all of us and came in with the existence of our Earth itself! It's Love, beginning and ending! And every people of every time have always tried to express it!

We can feel it in our hearts! And that's enough!

I Love you, as well, Kim, for all the Love you bring to us!
Julie, a brief break from calling, a moment to touch ground again. It has been a Gorgeous day. Love, love and more love.
And Love neverending to you, L'Heure! I'm outside for a few minutes now... Love, Julie
so beautiful as always!
Hi, Kathy! Of course, I was thinking of you! Thanks for adding your Love here! Always, Julie
Thought.

Is important.

Perhaps there was design of some kind in all of this? Awareness - let's hope that we can sustain the level, and raise it. But still, too many rail against these disasters, never accepting their own, even minor, part in them. We all must own some of it. All of us.

To change what is will take a change that is almost cellular in nature. Not an easy thing for humanity. But maybe we're turning in that direction..

Rated for hope.
You are so right and I read Painting's blog and video and prayed and visualized our ancient thermal waters under Hot Springs(hence the name of the town), where people have come for centuries to find healing, multiply and move toward the ocean! It doesn't take much to pray with intent and joined in unison with others can and will make an impact!
Do you know of the work of Japanese photographer Emoto?
His photos show that water can be healed. If water is not the greatest prayer-absorbing substance, what is? I guess maybe air, too.
Wise Seer -- And at least own what we can do now! Once we have a clear understanding of where we'd like to go and what we'd like to do -- how we'd Love to Live! -- we can begin understanding what actually helps us with that!

Slogging through anger always, always empowers others. The best thing we can do is use it as the impetus that moves us to new, wiser action!

And we do Know that we change on a cellular level already! DNA breaks down, sometimes in illness, and returns to health, for starters! We can do this -- and I Know we are!

Love to you for Being here! Julie
Hi, Anne! I Love the thought of those healing waters in Hot Springs! I Know you sent those properties far and wide! Such a Lovely caring, praying, healing circle we have here! Love, Julie
Hi, M! I do Know the work of Emoto -- and I Love it! My first work with Chi began 12 years ago with Zen Shiatsu, based on a streamlined version of TCM meridiens. My first flash of insight into Shiatsu -- a surprise to me! -- was the vast wisdom accessible through it -- and none of it taught here in our own culture! I Love what Emoto does for us -- the Beautiful pictures! -- and I get that it comes from that richness in traditions!

I've heard it said that other-dimensional messages, the clear wisdom and Higher view we receive when we're meditating, are carried along the oxygen molecules. Water is always healing -- and conducive to transporting states, intentionally sought or not -- as is getting out into the "fresh air" of Nature! Makes sense, too, doesn't it?!

(I'm definitely a water person myself, and I have to be around it!)

Love to you for your Lovely thoughts here! Thank you! Julie
Hi, Jali! I hear you -- and everyone doesn't have to do everything! It's all about personal intention and how we best are who we are! You are contributing perfectly just as you do -- you're in the Love zone all the time, anyway, so keep doing that!

For things like this, I'm ready to jump in with what I'm able to do, even though the sadness is overwhelming. But there are certainly things that take me out of my own zone, too, and that I can't do...

Just keep Being you, sweetie! We hear you quite clearly! Love to you! Julie
Yes, summer solstice ... I was there at the lake.

This observation ...Railing against it, even in righteous indignation, actually allows that status quo and prior decision-making to remain in place. made me stop and think...
Hi, Scarlett! I'm glad you were at the lake! And yes, to the point of disempowered anger -- same can be observed with the financial crisis, where it really stood out to me...
Hi Julie,
I'm a couple of days late, but no less inspired by your vision for global healing. I am right there with you!!! I not only read your invocation, I felt it. Rated-- with love!!

Hi, Alix! It's never too late for stuff like this -- and there's always room to join in! We're feeling it, too! Love to you! Julie
I am also sending love and thanks to the waters that sustain us.Beautifully said .
Your Love and thanks are felt and heard, Diary, I Know! So sweet to see you here! Love, Julie
Thanks for these Wonderful and uplifting messages! Many thanks! Our tiny church has a labyrinth outsides and we had a Solstice service that blended Celtic, Christian and South American/Native American traditions. It was lovely and ended with wind, unbelievable clouds, other-worldly sunset light, thunder and rain! Great stuff! Enjoying discovering you! ;)
The Gulf is such a shame. Here is to clear waters. r
Thank you for your wisdom. This a a wonderful prayer. Mary
Muse -- I bet it was otherworldly -- literally! Don't you Love that?! I Love the same kind of mix of cultures and traditions myself -- starting with Jesus, Hindu, metaphysical, new thought, and more! It's a world of Love! Love to you! Julie
Hi, Let'sTalk! Yes to clear intentions, clear values, and clear waters! It's our work to bring it all in! Love, Julie

And thank you, Mary! Thank you for praying wisely with us! It's always growing! Love to you in all you do! Julie
