What I hear often from Indigo kids and teens is how difficult it is just to get time to play, and time outside in the natural world.  Parents, listen up:  your children CRAVE this!  And they aren’t getting it — at least, nowhere near enough of it.  They need a minimum of one hour a day, EVERY day.

Sure, you as parents have tight schedules and demands.  But that doesn’t mean your kids have to suffer deprivation as a result. I know that it’s a challenge — and I know that parents of Indigo and Star Seed kids are up to it, because I know plenty of parents who make sure their children get enough:

• Unstructured play time.  This is important to help your kids nurture their immense creative aspects.  (P.S.  Unstructured doesn’t mean “unsupervised”. . . )
• At least one hour every day out in the natural world.  You know. Trees. Water.  Fresh air.  Animals. Flowers and plants.  Your children need contact with and understanding of Nature.  Make sure they get their daily “vitamin” of it.  Gardens are good — for all family members — even if it’s just a potted plant on the balcony or patio
• Healthy food.   Even snacks can be healthy, with a little advance planning.
• Rest.  (By the way, TV and computer games are NOT restful and do NOT qualify as rest.)

If you’d like a little inspiration for getting kids out into some fresh air and green spaces, here’s a book (The Green Hour by Todd Christopher) and initiative that supports it:

The Green Hour

Your children deserve to have a life that connects them directly with Nature.  Other parents are finding ways to do this — and you can too.  Your children depend on you to help provide the environment where they will thrive.  Make sure they get it.

If you are an Indigo kid, teen, or Star Seed adult, the missing element in your life just might be Nature.  Plan to get back in touch with it, because it will heal and nurture you in ways nothing else can.

Oh, and if you want to learn how to communicate effectively with Nature, and teach your children, you might like to get this free report from How To Partner With Nature Intelligence.  (I think you will like it.)

It’s obvious that times are getting tough for people all over.  You can hear it in the news, see it in people’s faces, and watch it in your own town.  If you’re as sensitive as I am, you can feel it in your heart.

But until I read the blog post where I’m going to send you in just a moment, I really didn’t know how bad it’s gotten for some of our most vulnerable people — teens who run away and become homeless. The numbers are stunning.  The suffering is unimaginable.

But it’s really not hopeless.  All it takes is a great idea — and a little help from your friends.

And by the way, sometimes your “friends” are people you will never even meet in your lifetime. . .

Here’s what I want you to do.  Visit the link I’m going to give you right below, read the blog post, click on the link to watch a short video (made by a really cute kid in Kansas City, whose heart is definitely in the right place) — and take action.

You could make a donation. (It’s tax deductible, if that ,matters to you.)  You could forward it to a friend or colleague (or two or three.)  You could do what I’m doing, by passing the word.

Start an initiative in your town.  Donate time to think through with the leaders in your community what you can do.  But please do something, besides just read the information.  Together we really can make a difference. We already are.

I don’t get anything out of this besides a good feeling, to know that what I’m doing right here at my keyboard is going to save some lives — and maybe turn a few around in the bargain.

Oh yeah.  Here’s the link:  Initiative To Help Homeless Kids .

Go there.  Take action.

Thanks.

Hello my dear friend,

There is a beautiful song, most often heard at Christmas time, which starts, “Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me.” On this International Day of Peace, wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all carried those words within us and lived those words from our hearts?

For there to be peace on earth, each of us must truly say, “Let it begin with me.” That is where it all begins.

“Lao Tzu said, “If there is to be peace in the world…in the nations…in the cities…between neighbors…in the home…there must be peace in the heart.” Peace begins in the heart because the heart is the seat of love and, as Gandhi said, “Love is the strongest force the world possesses….”

If we call upon this unconditional love–if we simply focus on the love in each of our hearts and let this limitless, perfect, healing love flow into us and through us–then we can find that perfect peace. We can live in that perfect peace, and we can bring that peace to our homes, our countries, our world.

Please take at least a moment today to focus on your heart, feel the flow of unconditional love coming into you, and then focus on sending that love to everyone you encounter this day. Open your heart and open your mind and see that perfect love flowing through every person throughout our world.

On this special day, please join me in living the message of that beautiful Christmas carol:

In love and peace,

Chunyi
Peace is what every heart longs to feel, deep down.   Today, join with me and millions of others, to make it so
Nancy

Will you join me?

See what this is all about here.

I know this series is going to answer a LOT of questions that you have been asking, and bring you great healing.  It’s time.  Let us begin.

In numerology, the number nine has to do with completion — and manifestation.  Now, for those of you who also follow astrology, you might know that the planet Mercury went retrograde on Monday; that is a time when it’s good to complete things that have already been started, work on fixing things that didn’t work out right the first time — relationships, projects, work, and so on — and to prepare for a new cycle ahead.  I mention this because it has a bearing on the energy fields we are entering right now.

Mercury retrograde’s “shadow side” is that it can cause communication delays or misunderstandings (make sure that important letter has a stamp on it — that when you reply to an email you don’t hit “reply all” instead — and that what you say is what they heard); transportation challenges or delays (make sure the car has enough gas in it and it’s tuned up; double check your departure time; and in general don’t freak out if plans change unexpectedly — it will all work out eventually); and machinery has a tendency to go completely haywire (back up your hard drive and your data!)

During this period, you can make some real headway on projects that have been planned, and you can finish things that have been on your desk for quite a while.  it’s a good time.  And. . . this is a special time for working to envision and create a world that fits your ideal of how things are SUPPOSED to work.  We get the stars aligned just right to help it happen right now — which is a major blessing.  Please take advantage of it.  (And keep working on this no matter WHAT the stars are doing!)

If you’d like another glimpse into how the Mayans thought about this sacred number and these times, read an interesting article about “999 and the Mayan Calendar” here.

Finally, I got word today that the Ringing Cedars books have shipped and will be here later this week.  Be sure to check them out and order your copies!  I know they are going to be flying out the door as soon as they get here and I want to make sure you have YOUR copy as soon as possible.

When he told me that this book had helped him to recover from some of the darkest moments of his life, i believed him.  I know some of the things he’s been through — and believe me, no one would ever want to have to go through stuff like that.  He told me what the books are, and when I discovered them, immediately I knew they are something VERY special.  And I knew that many of you are going to want copies for yourselves, perhaps also for friends and family.

More than a million copies have been sold — without ANY advertising whatsoever.  All by “word of mouth.”  That is astonishing for anything — but especially for books that aren’t even being promoted. Today, I am delighted to tell you that I have made arrangements with the publishers, to be able to offer the complete series of books to my readers!

The series is called Ringing Cedars.  It’s the story of a healing tree deep in the Siberian forests, whose age is so old it’s immeasurable.  The tree sends out mysterious vibrations through its rings — vibrations that lift your consciousness and heal you. But there’s more to the story than that — and I know you’re going to want to get your hands on all of the books in the series.  They are very powerful!

As soon as humanly possible, I will have the links posted for you so that you can discover them for yourselves, and place your orders if you choose.  I’ve got my first orders ready so the publisher can get the books here right away, and my team is working right now to get the order processes and web pages ready for you.

So watch for another announcement soon.  You’ll be the first to know when they’re here!  I KNOW you are going to love the Ringing Cedars series!

Last week I sent out an announcement about Blue Eagle Invocation’s great new product:  the 100ml plain refiller bottle, so that you can keep your spray top bottles and just add more product when it gets low.

The good news is that we still have it! It’s been very popular and the demand has been higher than expected.  So that’s part one of the bad news; we ran out of stock almost immediately.  (We have reorders on the way. . . )

Part two of the bad news is. . . the price was wrong.  I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but it looks like the people who jumped on this right away got a *really* good deal!   Unfortunately, it didn’t last. . .

Our good friends in Canada made an error in the prices — which we (in all good faith) posted to the web site and shopping cart.  When I went to place a reorder, I learned that they gave us the wrong price — and I had to change it again.   The new prices are already up on the web site and in the shopping cart, so if you didn’t order already, I’m afraid it’s too late to get the lower “introductory” prices.

However. . . it’s still VERY reasonably priced at $69.95 a bottle.  It still provides an economical way to use your spray top bottles.  And of course it’s always the same great product as ever.

I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience — and very happy that those who jumped on it right away were able to get a one-time true bargain.  (The “early bird” really does luck out!)

Some more good news is that we’ll be stocking the refill bottles regularly now, and you should be able to get them any time you want.  Do check it out when you get a chance — and pass the word along to your friends:

Order Now

Thanks and have a great weekend!

So here they are (in no particular order):

Karen Bishop has some new books out, and quite a lot to say about how the shifts are affecting you — and some helpful suggestions for what to do about it.  I like reading her insights even when they don’t precisely match what I’m experiencing — because sooner or later someone will ask me about the same thing Visit her site here.  Be sure to check the latest report, in case there’s a new one posted.

Patricia Cota-Robles talks about an event happening August 15-20th, 2009 in Tucson, Arizona:  a World Congress on Illumination.  Through the Law of Resonance, all humans of like heart and mind can participate in stabilizing the extraordinary amount of Light that is awakening throughout the Universe, whether the timing of the event is “now” or “past”.  It’s worth a look at her site to learn more:  Era of Peace. (Enjoy the nice music, too!)

And last but certainly not least, Tom Kenyon channels an entity known as the Hathors, who have some important things to say about the predicted Swine Flu pandemic, how to stay well, and how to stay centered through the current and coming changes.  I personally liked these a lot!  They are very hopeful and empowering. Here are the latest links I suggest you read:

Lies, Half-Truths and Manipulations

Ecstasy and The Heart on how to focus (this should help those of you who wonder if you have ADD. . . )

The Holon of Balance on thriving through the earth changes

The Holon of Ascension on how to adjust during the solar storms and flares, and how they will affect you

The common thread I find in all these messages is this:

• Stay centered and connected to Source no matter WHAT happens!
• Turn from both fear and anger in yourself and when you encounter it in others; refuse to participate
• Keep breathing and seek the joy
• Remember the 11:11 (as above, so below) — and follow the 11:11 Laws to your best ability)

These steps will serve you well always, not just under challenging circumstances.  Make it your business to master them — and then teach it to others if they ask

Let me know if you have any questions about these topics; I’d be happy to respond.

Hurricane Bill is kicking up some surf in the Atlantic, and we could use some help getting this system turned harmlessly toward the open sea instead of land.  Those of you who have been working with the earth energies and flow, know what to do.  Go do that.

For any of you who may not have been involved with co-creative work with Nature before, here is are two links to learn more about what you can do.  It’s pretty easy, really. . .and very skillful use of your consciousness.  I hope you will join us in this work.
