Hello
Everyone, I am so
thrilled to be in all the movement and life around me...
So excited over all
that's happening this month! By the time
you read this, people will have started arriving… We'll be
heading to the airport to pick up Angela, Julie,
Shari, Andrew, Nicolo… and we'll be
welcoming many other guests, visitors, neighbors and friends.
From June 24
to June 30, Andrew Jones, one of our Founders from
Australia,
will offer a 7-day course: "Baja Drought Proofing & Water
Harvesting: A Permaculture Approach.” Details of the project can be
seen on both BBC and NPR. Please visit:http://permaculture.org.au/
On June 23,
I'll be leaving the Baja to visit family and friends on the East
Coast. Aaaahhhh… will be so nice to touch base, and such fun to
catch up on everything!
So happy to be planning my
travels, returning again to some amazing places and many beautiful people!
And will be visiting some places and people for the first time. (I finally get to visit Baikal
Lake in Siberia, and you are invited!)
Except for a week in
Italy
between Aug 13 and 20, I'll be in the Former Soviet republics
between July 16 and September 13. (Note: Visas are required to enter
Russia. So
give yourself an extra week or two for the visa
process.)
I'll also be visiting
Nassau,
Bahamas for the first
time. If you'd like to combine an island vacation with a
spirit/mind/body-breath/
The first stop this summer is
Barcelona. We'll be
celebrating the 4th of July there! (HINT: There are some great
flight deals on the internet, and you are welcome especially
welcome to join us at the last minute!)
So grateful to Sylvia. Thank you Love! Thank you for giving
everyone such a wonderful opportunity "to take this experience of
life to the next higher level of being.”
Actually, you
are invited to meet me anywhere on the road, to discover, explore, or
develop more of the power and potential of Spiritual Breathing. Every
workshop, training, and session is meant to support and benefit
first-timers as well as seasoned students and master practitioners.
The ability to breathe
energy as well as air is one of the greatest gifts you or anyone can give
or receive!
Welcome to the
June 2009 Breath and Breathing Report!
We are at the peak of the dry
season here in the Baja. Soon it will be the rainy season. I'll be
traveling again this summer and fall, and will miss seeing the rivers that
pour down from the Sierra
Laguna
Mountains. But next summer, my
plan is to definitely be here to witness those raging
arroyos!
There
aren't many people in the Baja these days. The
"Snowbirds” won't be back until winter. The global
financial fiasco and the fake flu reports have resulted in a 30% to 60%
decline in tourism here over the last few months. Some hotels and
restaurants have closed for the season, and many others have cut back on
people and services.
I notice that
they keep watering the golf courses, but few people are out there playing
on them. (Recently I learned that a 9-hole course here can use up to a
million liters of water a day) I have become fascinated with water as a
teacher, a guide, a model for relationships and how to "be” in
the world.
And that brings
me to the focus of this month: honoring and celebrating the amazing
miracle we know as WATER!
Leonardo da
Vinci called water "the driving force of all nature." Lao Tsu
said: "Nothing in the world is softer or more yielding than water,
yet it wears down the hard and strong… None can overcome it, though
anyone can conquer it. That which is yielding conquers the strong, and the
soft overcomes that which is hard. Everyone knows it but no one dares to
live by it…”
Like us and
everything else in existence, water has consciousness: a spiritual as well
as physical nature. And water is one of those simple basic powerful
things like life and breath that we take for granted every
day. And so I invite you to take some time this month to generate love and
gratitude toward this sacred gift we call
water!
Every living
thing needs water to survive. The human body is 70% to 90% water. The
brain is 85% water. Besides air, there is no physical substance more
necessary to our body than water. Water gives DNA its structure, and
it gives proteins their structure.
Water is the
most common substance on earth. And it is the only substance that exists
in three states: solid, liquid, gas. There is
just as much water on earth today as when the world began; and yet, less
than 1% is available fresh drinking
water.
Water is the
most powerful solvent on earth, and it has the highest surface tension of
any known liquid. It is a universal
solvent not only for physical substances, but also for thoughts,
feelings, energy, and information.
We put water to
work in a million different ways every day, and yet it acts outside all
known physical laws of nature. Every substance on earth contracts when it
is cooled, but water does the opposite: it expands.
Water creates
the countless colors of the sunrise and sunset, and it is in the rainbows
that shoot across the sky – all these phenomena are produced from
refractions of light rays by moisture in the atmosphere.
An prayerful
intention, pronounced with love, creates a harmonic structure in water.
The energies of Love and Gratitude appear to have the most powerful and
beneficial influence on water's
structure.
Water reacts to
life like a nervous system. It organizes itself into clusters memory
cells that enable it to record and store information. Every thought,
every emotion, and intention affects every drop of water on earth, but the
intended target of that intention and the water within our own bodies is
most strongly affected.
Water carries
the imprint of its environment, and this environment includes the whole
planet and beyond. Each drop of water contains the informational imprint
of the whole universe. And water also has an
amazing self cleansing capacity to shake off imprints, thus preserving its
basic structure which is the program for life. This occurs during
the phase transition when water vaporizes and condenses, or when it
freezes and then melts.
Every thing and
every one is vibrating, either in healthy resonance or distressing
dissonance, with nature's harmonics. By generating unconditional
love and heart-felt gratitude toward the oceans, rivers, lakes and streams
of the world, we can potentially re-structure all the water on the planet
in one event!
I invite you to join me in
celebrating "LIVE H2O: The Concert for the Living Waters,” a
global event taking place over the summer solstice. On Sunday June 21 at
7 pm Pacific time, you can add
your voice to a planetary chord: and take part in the "love water
experiment.”
Sitting at home
alone, or gathering with others, singing and chanting, using the
‘Love Frequency' 528 Hz, we can cause a mass awakening and a
spiritual uplifting of human hearts! Water
reflects much more than light and it has a dynamic capacity to alter its
molecular structure in response to words and music.
For me, this event is about
bringing together WATER the universal solvent, MUSIC the universal
language, and LOVE the universal healer. Visit www.liveh2o.org
for a list of performers, concert
venues, and event details.
Here in Los
Cabos, we are organizing three days of activities:
Friday June 19: Drumming,
Music, and Water Ceremony at Baja Bio
Sana and the
hot springs at El Chorro in
Agua Caliente. Jeanette Grittani will be with us.
Saturday June 20: Shamanic
ceremony, Live Music tuned to the 528 frequency , Aguamo photo exhibit,
and the film "Water,” at the former Grand Mayan golf course
lounge in San Jose
del Cabo.
Sunday June 21:
Showing of the film "Water,” ceremony and concert by the ocean
with the band "Jaya” at the Yandara Yoga Institute near Todos
Santos.
SPECIAL
ANNOUNCEMENT:
On the
community level, I am inviting anyone who feels drawn to live, work and
play here, to tend the organic food gardens, the fruit orchards, and the
seed bank. Welcome!
Baja Bio
Sanais also happy to host or
sponsor any teacher or healer who would like to make use of the natural
resources here.
These days I am
playing with our ability to draw the "living waters” from the
breath to drink in the presence and pleasure of Pure Being!
This past year
or two has been all about endings and beginnings, fulfillment and
completion. And completion is such a perfect place to begin, don't
you think?
And so I have
been enjoying the luxurious feeling of completion on so many levels, in so
many ways, in life and work and relationships.
Thank you to
everyone in my circle of family, friends, teachers, students and
associates. And a special thank you to Lesia, for being such a constant
catalyst for awakening.
An old friend
and teacher pointed out some time ago that: "the experiment is
over.” We are in times of accelerated awakening on this planet. And
at the same time we are entering a still point: time itself seems to be
coming to an end! Windows and doors are opening, and closing, in each
eternal moment. Can you feel it?
The actions
that we take in these times will affect everyone for all times! What is
important is the quality of our awareness and the depth of love that we
bring to our actions the conscious energy that we bring to our
loving actions. We are defined by our actions, not by our thoughts, words,
promises, or wishes.
As my greatest
friend and teacher keeps reminded me: "The teachings are clear.
There is no more to say. Everything has already been written and said. Now
it is time for action. It is time to live the way, the truth, and the
light!”
What quality of
energy, what presence do you want to bring to life and to everything you
do in life? Take creative action right now: bring that conscious energy to
your breathing. You breathe 10 to 20 thousand breaths a day. That's
10 to 20 thousand opportunities to gather all that is needed to create
anything your heart desires!
