Remembrance----Call of the Condor: A Sacred Pilgrimage to the Heart
of the Ancient Ones
Dear June,
Peru! What a place! When I first set foot on Peruvian Land nineteen years ago in 1985, I began an adventure that has out shined all others in my life. Peru holds an energy that is rivaled by no other place I know. When I returned after my trip in ’86, I could not speak about what had happened, as it was too sacred, too deep within me. I just remained quiet as I felt like my inner space was like a deep pool of tranquil water.
After about four months, I began to feel the electrical flow of North America again, and slowly I could talk about my experience.
The Pinnacle of the energy can be powerfully felt in places like Machu Picchu and Sacsayhuaman with their whirling vortexes and Lake Titicaca with it’s absolutely ancient Tibetan-like feel. It is here that the Star Children exchange with the local souls. And on Nasca plains we will see the tracks of their continual return.
With the journey to Peru, we will complete the triangle created by the last two journeys, with the Anasazi and the Mayans. We will enter the ancient and modern world of the Inca’s empire, with their permission and assistance, to merge with them and find a way to heal our common world. In this way, the Ancient Ones and we, the Rainbow People, will be able to complete our destiny as it has been foretold.
Through ceremony and living within the Sacred Space of our Hearts, we will be able to transcend our tiny ego and enter the infinite space of our Higher Selves.
You are invited to be with us as we move through Peru as a powerful conclave. Only you know if it is appropriate, but if it is, we would like to deeply thank you for having the courage to follow your Heart and join us on this magical and timely journey.
The time is perfect…The time is now…..In Love and Service
Drunvalo
I can not tell you how many times I read the above letter, especially, the last three sentences—The time is perfect, the time is now, and in love and service. The letter carried a certain spiritual energy that spoke directly to my Spirit. My mind and heart instantly knew that against all odds I had to answer the call to the Condor-Peru. Destiny awaited and I knew that this journey into the heart of the ancient ones would change my life forever.
As a student of many years of metaphysical principles and spirituality, I had always wanted to visit the sacred sites of the world and experience the energies of these places. The timing of this trip was indeed perfect. Working on a revision of my first book, Path to Truth: A Spiritual Guide to Higher Consciousness, I was focusing on the mythologies, legends and epics of the human seeding of this planet by mystical beings. I wanted to experience first-hand the energies of the sacred sites where the gods had dwelled. The history and stories of the ancient ones were etched into the plains of Nasca, revealed in the mountains of Machu and Huayna Picchu, and found in the megalithic stones of the temple of Sacsayhuaman.
There is not enough space in this eZine to relate all the wonderful stories and adventures of the two weeks that I spent in Peru and Bolivia. Instead I will focus on the pilgrimage of the Rainbow Children into the heart of the ancient ones.
What attracted me to this particular journey was the spiritual quest to higher consciousness and that it was being led by someone I consider not just a spiritual teacher but also a Master ---- Drunvalo Melchizedek. For those of you not familiar with Drunvalo or his work let me give you a brief biographical stretch of this tremendous light being. He is well known for his Flower of Life Program and the Mer-Ka-Ba mediation. He has authored three books: The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Live vols. I &II and his newest book, Living in the Heart. I met Drunvalo several years also when I attended his Earth, Sky workshop that literally changed my life. He connected the spiritual dots for me. Drunvalo, having studied many truth/esoteric teachings, is able to assist you in moving from linear consciousness to a more multidimensional awareness of life. On a personal level, he eludes a warmth and genuine love for all life forms.
The call to the Condor was the last trip in a series of three offered by Drunvalo. I did not go to the first two nor was it a requirement to go. Each trip was unique in its own way. There were seventy of us. As a numerologist, I have to tell you that the number seventy when reduced has the mystic vibration of seven. It is the vibration of creative energy that enables spirit to triumph over matter. Coming from all over the world, we were called the Rainbow People or the Children of Light. Our souls had returned home to the heart of the ancient ones to fulfill the prophecy to hold the vision of light and love to heal the world.
The
first sacred ceremony took place on Machu Picchu--- the ancient temple-citadel
of the Incas that served as an initiatory center for those of the light. To
become clear vessels of light and love, Drunvalo led us in a powerful meditation
to release any energy blocks within our bodies, minds and spirits. Many of us
cried, chanted, praised and sang as we let go of the disharmonies. Then he asked
that we silently assist him in connecting to the ancient ones. According to
the Incan prophecies, we needed their assistance for the transmission to us
of the ancient lineage of knowledge and power in order to help them with the
healing of our beloved planet. If one listened closely enough, you could hear
the cries of the ancient ones for their beloved Pachamama—the Cosmic Mother-Gaia.
They cried because of the contamination in our oceans, rivers and lakes, the
pollution in the atmosphere, the killing of the animals, and the pain and hurt
that humans inflict upon each other. But they came in response to our calling.
As the sun came from behind the clouds, we embraced each other from heart to heart feeling and sensing the love of the ancient ones. Our spirits lifted with joy. We were now ready to make the pilgrimage to the Mother Lake—Mamacota or Lake Titicaca in Bolivia.
We
were given many gifts on this journey and one significant one was experiencing
the healing energies of an indigenous Shaman on the island of the Sun on Lake
Titicaca. By that evening we were ready to do the second ceremony on the Island
of the Moon just across from the Island of the Sun. Lake Titicaca is considered
the place of origin for the Children of Light. Judith Bluestone Plich In
Return of The Children of Light says that, “ The Inca believed
that they descended from divine light, serving as its divine emissaries in physical
form. By about A.D. 1525, the Inca had determined that their access to higher
worlds of more refined frequencies, or light fields, was diminishing. Possibly
they understood that frequencies of matter were slowing down, and the pull of
an increasingly dense material world was limiting their access to higher worlds.
They referred to this change as the closing of the gateways. Interestingly,
these gateways were not only celestial portals but also entryways to individual
higher consciousness.”
Imagine being on one of the most powerful feminine energy centers on the planet on a night of a full moon. It is here that Drunvalo led a sacred ceremony to recognize the feminine principle, the bearer of life, the nurturer of this planet, and the Goddess energy that the ancient ones revered and knew within their souls as love. The healing of this planet would start with the shift of the masculine (Mars rays) to the feminine (Venus rays) energy, which is rooted in love. With the men of the group making an outer circle around the women, Drunvalo called forth the oldest female of the group (henceforth called Grandmother) to acknowledge that the time is NOW for the Feminine Spirit to take her place as the authentic keeper of human consciousness to heal all.
Our last day in Peru found us on top of the pyramid temple complex of Pachacamac, an oracle site, to do our closing ceremony. We had connected to the ancient ones on Machu Picchu, we had connected to the power of love through the feminine principle on the Island of the Moon and now it was time to recognize the importance of lifting our consciousness to higher levels in order to access the sacred light knowledge as the ancient gateways of Peru, Chile, Mexico and Bolivia opened. Finally, we gave thanks to the ancient ones, to each other, to the Pachamama and to the Goddess Spirit.
As
I left this sacred place, I thought about the day we visited the Gateway of
Amara Muru near Lake Titicaca. It is known as a portal to other dimensions.
I remembered standing in the Gateway thinking how my body is supposed to go
to another dimension, when I intuitively knew that instead my consciousness
would be uplifted. Upon turning to face the valley, I felt the energies of the
ancient ones and the valley was alive with the images of the god-men- the ancient
astronauts- carved in the red rocks and mountains. My consciousness shifted
from linear to multidimensional perception. Today, I live with the memory of
the Call to the Condor and especially that day at the Gateway of Amara Muru.
The Andean shamans say, “ Follow your own footsteps. Learn from the rivers,
the trees and the rocks. Honor the Christ, the Buddha, your brothers and sisters.
Honor the Earth Mother and the Great Spirit. Honor yourself and all of creation.”
This is my pledge.
Thank you ancient ones.
To Drunvalo and the Rainbow People, I send you much love and light. Kudos to Diane Cooper and the One Heart staff for taking care of us and to Alan Leon and the guides of Sacred Heritage we couldn’t have done it without you.
Light and Love,
June
FIND PEACE AND COMFORT IN THE AGE OF ANXIETY
People on the Go Find Meditation is Key to Staying Centered
By Barbara Biziou
Creator of Momentary Meditations
How can we find positive, sustainable comfort in this age of anxiety? A comfort that connects us to ourselves, and the Divine, regardless of our religion or spiritual tradition? In my life, meditation is a key that turns the lock and opens the mind and heart, as it shifts us from unconsciousness back into consciousness.
In my mediation practice and the groups I lead, we experience the positive pleasure of being alive. Meditation allows us to reduce our pains, and rekindle our hopes and dreams. It takes us to an inner sanctuary where our inner resources can fuel our outer expression, as they return us to our center, the surest place of comfort in our soul.
Meditation is nothing new yet in our modern world it has become widely respected as an essential way to reduce stress, enhance well being and, for some people, feel closer to Divine Source. Studies have shown that meditation is a way to maintain your spiritual center regardless of religion and it can be as simple as carving out 10 minutes a day to just be.
Stress-related disorders are on the rise due to our complex and constantly changing world and we are seeing symptoms of fear and anxiety that have skyrocketed in the past decade. These directly impact our quality of life and our health.
Meditation helps us to take a break from chaos. As we move away from the stimuli of the moment we are able to gain more clarity, focus and peace of mind. The key to meditation is it allows us to calm our fears and move into the present moment, and in that moment we can tap into a sense of peace - rather than worrying about the past or obsessing about the future.
Give yourself a meditation break
If you make some form of meditation a regular part of your well-being routine
you will find that you waste less and less energy on worry and reactive behavior
and that your capacity for coping with life's ups and downs increases. You will
begin to adopt a new sense of mindfulness and awareness that will give you the
power to participate more fully in your own life. You will learn that your "home"
is inside you, and that you can take it with you wherever you go - and retreat
to it wherever you are. This means that even if you are traveling - by train
or plane - or hanging out at the office or a beautiful park, you can take time
out to center yourself through meditation.
The breath is the key to meditation
When we are tense or anxious, we tend to hold our breath. The breath is the
key to finding inner peace and harmony. It is our link with our bodies and the
world. For most of us, breathing is something we never think about, yet for
the most part we are breathing shallow breathes into our chest. This shallow
breathing actually can create a stressful condition in our minds and bodies.
By slowing down your breath, you will instantly relax your body and bring clarity
into your mind.
The next time you are feeling stressed, focus on your breathing. Try it at a business meeting, before picking the kids up from school or while sitting in a doctor's waiting room. Athletes are meditating to improve their game, artists are using it to access their creativity and doctors are finding it helps their patients heal
Power of the heart meditation
The following technique, adapted from Momentary Meditations, is a "portable
stress-breaker. " You can easily take it with you wherever you go. By using
it whenever you feel out of balance, you will find that you are calmer, clearer
and more able to cope with what life has to offer. This is perfect to use if
you’re flying through turbulence, you receive a disturbing phone call,
your business meeting falls apart or your mind gets stuck in a worry loop.
Take a few deep, slow breathes . . .
and imagine pushing a pause button deep within your chest.
Begin to focus at the heart center.
Envision it as a bright golden sun. (20-30 seconds)
Now think of a positive quality or experience that you have had:
You may feel appreciation for someone special in your life or envision a beautiful
scene in nature, your favorite place or the locale you want to explore on your
next vacation or imagine a baby's laughter or the joy of licking an ice cream
cone on a hot day. Let yourself really be in the experience. Give yourself permission
to smile. (60 seconds).
Now, take 3 deep breathes and come back to normal waking consciousness and open
your eyes.
To Summarize
Appreciating where we have been is a magical tool to harmony and joy. As we
review and meditate on the happy pictures of where we have been, and where we
dream of going, we become imbued with gratitude for life and are inspired to
dream about places we have yet to go.
