mt. shasta – Sacred Birthing

"Baby's birth time determines a lifetime. By honoring labor as and when it presents, we honor and protect the timing of birth chosen by this soul."

It’s really a chance to pray, making a medicine wheel. I ask what the intention is for this wheel and find that it is to raise the vibration of the camping area so that this area becomes a camp for those who seek to be more conscious, and each summer there are many attracted with a higher purpose of conscious refinement. I call out to the Directions for the size and form this wheel is to hold. I call out to each stone, “Who is to be placed next?” I ask where each needs to go to support this intension. It is a process that is not about speed. After 5 hours I am only 1/3 done and am whooped. These stones are heavy. Eight of them are much too heavy for me. Tomorrow I’ll complete it. I take a swim at placenta rock in this 90 degree heat. What a good name for this boulder!

The Medicine Wheel is to raise the vibration of the campground.

Five more hours and lots more prayer takes me through the many layers of intension for this wheel. Forgiveness of self for all humanity is the majority prayer as the outer circle and the inner circle is formed. I finish not today but in the third day’s morning sun. 12 hours of deep prayer for humanity’s awakening created this rock formation that will silently sit in the riverbed till the next snowmelt.

On the fourth day, the camp area erupts. Young people screaming to each other, not talking, not yelling in fun, but screaming their conversations. I don’t understand. They are throwing rocks, big rocks, down at the dam, smashing them down on others. I haven’t seen this kind of behavior before. Then a woman walked past me and said she had heard them screaming about “meth” and we both understood. Later talking to David, he told me that a psychologist said that meth is something that supports the ego to be unleashed. That’s just what was happening in the behavior that I saw. It was scary to see the ego take over.

The next morning, two days after the medicine wheel was finished, I realize that I feel finished here after the wheel was done. I look below on my morning walk to my meditation tree in the sun and see that the three stone dams that so nicely held the deep waters for the swimming hole have been destroyed. All the rocks are strewn all over. I hear, “When the vibration rises, chaos results in order for the change to occur.” I think back on several situations and think of the truth in this.

The stunning house I was to rent high up the mountain was reclaimed by its owner. I am sad that I will not be living at this place that birthed my book, Sacred Birthing, Birthing A New Humanity. I realize that I must be heading the wrong direction. Ok, where DO you want me? Why am I here??? Show me so that I get it!

(Happy birthday dad.)

I am being taught to journey through time, space and dimensions. What good tools I have developed to be ready for this – past life therapy, birth therapy and midwifery. Ultimately, I am to journey for souls in birth, the birth itself, and death. I am to go into the future/past to see information and bring back what is to be. I am to un-wrinkle the karma in mom, or release the reason for pain… How?

“I am your guide. There are many degrees of openness and journeying takes different acuities. I am the Spirit of the Journey that offers this service for your love. I am more active in the dark. Use me when you have questions. Use me when you want depth. Use me as your best friend for life. Your love has opened you to me as your helper.”

Dream:

We are reconstructing Telos (the 5th Dimensional city inside Mt Shasta) in our studio. It is beautiful, perfect and meaningful in every degree, color, alignment. It’s made of crystals and stones in perfect geometries. Temples are in exact placement to support love in families and all individuals. Nature grows in the exact places and ways to support human development. There is so much excitement in this discovery. Terri N is working on with us too. One is invited into this project when it is time. The city is like the body in design. Perfection. Divine. One roof most intrigues me. It is made of Crisophase, beautiful, translucent, green. Inner authority is the most noticeable ingredient of each person in the project. By working on the “model,” it changes our bodies. Such precision, such delicious sweetness, such relevancy. It all matters. It’s all beautiful. It’s all a temple. It’s all sacred. It all reflects love. It’s rounded and made of materials we don’t know how to build with: gemstones and minerals. They are not encased, the whole building is made from them. There is no structure used to build it into form. It is built of consciousness. There are waterways the moment you need refreshment, thirst, or a change of pace. There is a red ribbon across the front. It is cut and I walk in. I’m in kindergarten again and it feels good.

Seven pregnant mamas, two papas, and five apprentices came to an informal talk I was invited to speak at. What a blast! There were all kinds of births, and all were open to taking one more step to be more gentle for their baby. It was a lovely evening in Mt Shasta at the Flying Lotus next to Berryvale.

I met a woman who has held a vision, since 1988, of an incredible Healing Sanctuary given to her by St Germain! (Check it out at: http://shastavortex.com/retreat.) She has been here working on it since then making inroads in the zoning committee. Everything that I felt was stumping me. She gave me the homework to create EXACTLY what I want in a Birthing Sanctuary without any constricture (is that a word) except to stay under $25 million. What a delicious assignment. Do it exactly as you would like it to be! It is getting clearer and more profound.

I have been camping two+ weeks at the river,and until now, it has been silent except for the wind through the Pines and the pure water’s gurgles. Lots of reflection, loads of letting go. The Earth is such a spectacular healer. Thank you Nature. Thank you Mother Earth. Today I’m asked to make a medicine wheel in the dry riverbed where there are millions of rock-beings just sitting in the sun . In spring, this is all under water with the snowmelt, but now there is nothing but rocks of all sizes between the two rounded riverlets of icy cold water. I am camping on the cliff overlooking this vesica pieces of flowing water.

The lake is awesome, but you can only camp in a campground with others and I am looking for some silence. I go down to the river 2000 feet below and find a place that suits.

Last night, I went into the mountain as if going into a huge mansion. In each beautiful room was someone else incredible to meet. I was taken again to the ‘nursery’ of souls who would be incarnating consciously on Earth. There were hexagonal honey-bee like cells. An energetic glowing oval was in each cell. Each oval’s light would fade and as soon as it did, a great radiant being would come and direct her conscious love to that baby-being-to-be and once again it would glow radiantly. Then, she would move on to the next. At about 2 months incubation time, when the soul’s light no longer faded, it was ready to be implanted in a mother who would then conceive in another 2 months. I was told that at any time in this 4 month period… if a mother to be did not want to be pregnant… she would only need to clearly state this with her partner. Then, I stood with Lord Lento behind me and sent love to baby after baby. I understood and felt the vibrational precision of the quality of this love being sent to these energetic babies. What a big gift and incredible feeling! A most incredible experience and deep honor.

Morning meditation:

Of course birth is orgasmic! When the heart opens, the yoni opens. The throat’s opening is our work during pregnancy and the crown is opened by Divine Mother (whatever name you are most comfortable with,) at the time of birth. The first chakra only opens when it is safe, so our moms must be safe if birth is to happen. The third chakra is pacified by oxytocin. However, if there is not clarity between mother and her mother’s lineage, this chakra is in a holding pattern: Is it flowing? Is it closed? Does it clench down? When all is aligned and in sync, birth is as open as a woman ever is! It only happens when a woman feels safe. And then… of course birth is orgasmic!

I go up to hike in Shasta’s Panther Meadows and I speak to a woman who is just leaving. On discovering I am a midwife she says, “I had an orgasm with my second birth!” But her next statement was, “Birth is brutal!” She kept repeating the comment, so I asked her about it. I thought it interesting to put these two statements, orgasmic and brutal, together.

She began her story, “On the first birth, the baby was coming and they held me down to give me ether. I didn’t want ether. I didn’t need ether. It took four interns to hold me down so they could give me ether! I woke up hours later and had missed the whole birth. To this day, that baby is an angry man.” Her “baby” is now 60, and she is 84.

She goes on, “For the third baby, the doctor was not there yet. The nurse at the top of the gurney said to the other nurse, ‘just hold her legs together till the doctor gets here.’ I yelled at them, ‘If you so much as touch my legs, I will kick you!'” I could tell she felt pleased that she protected her baby, but she also didn’t have the uninterrupted spiritual space to really be with that birth. S he had had to be her own advocate/guardian. She had to be on the defense, and it took her out of being with her own experience.

It was the second baby that she gave birth to in the hall of the maternity ward without the staff knowing it, and this baby was born in the midst of bliss. She had heard on TV that there was such a thing as ‘orgasmic birth’ and she knew full well that she had had one. I was sorry to hear that although she had 3 very different experiences in birth, the one with most charge was the one that was ‘brutal’. What a sad state to be in… to never have her ‘sad birth’ integrated… even after 60 years! How many others are in this predicament?

At 2pm I went to have an appointment with Nicky. I was to journey (in the shamanic sense) to receive how I would use the ankh, and she was to scribe for the session. Thoth had been with me all morning; and as we sat in the gazebo of her luscious garden, Cobra came in as well. Cobra me the same pathway of energies that I had witnessed in the days before and much more. I was blown away to hear what I had seen, to learn more in depth, and recieve acknowledgement that what was coming through me was spot on. Oh why do we need acknowledgement so?

David, my birth partner who conceived Sacred Birthing with me and took it on the road as Sacred Birthing Seminars, calls me in Eugene and said he may not be going to climb the sacred Shiva mountain in Nepal because of intense headaches that he has to stop denying. Something is going on. He didn’t know what, and I may not be able to stay at his house for the 2 ½ months while he was gone. I want to camp and lie on the earth to let go, but other than a renewal, am not sure why else I am going to Mt Shasta. Suddenly the questions come, “Is he on this deathing path? Is he to be included too?” It’s difficult to think that this man, such a dear beloved of mine, is to transition. I have lots of work to do to be able to come to grips with this one. There’s lots of love and lots of history here. Can I be present? Is this really what is calling me here?

September 11, 2009

From Eugene to Mt Shasta. Its amazing to just drive distances after living on an island for 11 years. The mountain is as it has never been – without snow on it. Even in summer there is still snow, but not this and last year. What a shock. Global warming. I t does not seem right at all. It is not right at all, but that’s what is.

I drive up to my favorite place, Castle Lake, and camp for the first night right on the earth with the Milky Way stretched out, reflecting over the water. Wow.

David had a very infected tooth pulled out and we are hoping the infection has caused the headaches and that all will subside. He said that death has been dancing in the trees outside, not menacing, just there.
