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.

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.

Labor Day is also kind of like a hinge.  it separates summer activities from the start of a school year, and all the things that happen during the autumn months.  Most people say that there is a noticeable shift in the energy.  Today you will probably start to feel the energy shifting big time, because it’s a full moon in Pisces, very intuitive and robust.  Most Indigos are going to feel great!

But next week starts one of Mercury’s periodic retrogrades — when you can experience mechanical failures, mis-communications, delays in travel, and so on.  That’s annoying for many people, but I actually LIKE the retrograde times, because it’s a great time to complete things that have already been started.  And believe me, I have tons of THOSE sitting around here!  Mercury retrograde gives me the perfect energy I need to get those things done and out of the way.  I’m looking forward to it.

And finally, the weather patterns are starting to gear up for some real storm activity over all the oceans.  You can call it global warming or whatever you like, the point is:  we all have to deal with it.  Please review my earlier posts about weather and storm meditations, and get ready to go into action the minute you hear about storm systems building, or whenever you start feeling an overload inside your own body.  Those are signs that something is brewing — and we CAN make a difference through our conscious connections.  I hope you will join me in this.

More news soon about the amazing Ringing Cedars Series.  I just ordered the inventory, and my webmaster is busy getting our site ready for you to place orders.  I will post something here about each of the books and DVDs, so that you can see what’s up.  I know you will love them as much as I do and want to get several copies for friends or family members.

Have a great weekend!

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.

Ecological, Practical, and Economical New Invocation Product

We now offer a new product for refilling the spray-top bottles.  This refill bottle is 100 ml in an amber-brown drip glass bottle (no spray) without either a box or an instruction sheet.  It is as pictured here (plain but with the Blue Eagle Invocation label.)

This bottle will fill 13 times the 7.4 mL bottle, 3.3 times the 29 mL bottle, 1.66 times the 60 mL bottle and .83 times the 120 mL bottle.

If you already are using the spray top bottles, you know that you can take the tops off if you want to use it in a diffuser.  And now, with our new large refill bottle, you can keep whatever size bottle you already have, and simply add more Invocation when you start to run low.

Oh and it’s very affordable, too:  just $59.95.  Order now to ensure timely delivery.

Next up, we have some new flower essences I think you’ll want to hear about for prosperity, gratitude, and clearing clutter; I discovered an amazing new series of books I KNOW you’ll love; and I have some links for you to some interesting energy reports.  Stay tuned!

– Find out whether your child truly has ADD or ADHD, or if they are Indigo, or if they are Indigo AND have challenges with attention or focus.  It’s important to find out what’s going on, so that you can make a wise choice about how to provide the best solutions.

These days everyone is bombarded with stimulation from every direction: TV, computers, electronic games, music, Ipods, street noise, and more.  Is it any wonder that our kids — particularly the sensitive ones — can’t cope?

After thorough investigation you can determine that it really is ADD or ADHD, or if you know that you have an Indigo or Crystal child, start with some of the proven natural and holistic methods first.

• Biofeedback. There are new devices you can wear on your wrist or around a finger. to help you self-monitor your energy and behavior.
• Find out which kind of learner your child is.  A kinesthetic learner is not going to be sitting still while they learn; and a visual learner might need color to sort things properly in their mind.  Discover the learning style so that you can work with the teachers to give them the best outcomes.
• Remove overstimulation from the environment.  Limit TV and electronics, and get them out into Nature more often.
• Adjust their diet.  If they are taking in sugar and carbs rather than a complete, balanced, and high-energy diet, they won’t be able to function well. Period.  Do it in stages if you must, but get them eating and drinking whole, healthy foods — and remove the junk food and fast foods from “the plate.”
• Use high-quality supplements and greens, to help their energy levels stay consistent.
• Give them appropriate (and adequate) opportunities for physical exercise.  They MUST move their growing bodies, to build muscle and neurological connections they need to be healthy kids.  And they need appropriate outlets to discharge “extra” energy.

– Give your child or teen the support they REALLY need, for their electrical systems.  Feed them wholesome foods and cut out the junk food (sodas, french fries and chips, candy, cookies, processed foods of all kinds.)  Give them whole foods and organic foods with real nutrients in them.    Give them holistic supplements including greens and spirulina, to provide high quality energy.

– Give them unstructured play time, and a lot of time in the natural world with trees, grass, flowers, water, and rocks.  They NEED the connection, to feel safe and to remember their connections.

– Don’t fill their every waking moment with activity. They need equal parts of rest and play, to be able to better use their minds and their creaivity.  Let them make up their own games in free play time with others (supervised in some way but from a bit of a distance so that they are responsible for what happens.  The adult can step in only when need be as a referee or to provide a time-out should it be needed.)

– Give them flower essences.  All children can benefit from flower essences, but kids with ADD or ADHD — and definitely Indigo kids and teens — absolutely require them.  For Indigo kids, they are in contact with (and affected by) more subtle energy fields than other kids;  and their systems need special support that they can’t get any other way.  Flower essences can help them assilimate and balance their own energies, and be more able to process the external energies they sense from outside their own physical bodies.

This month I just made a great new flower essence formula called Pure Focus, which works for kids with ADD and ADHD, to help them stay focused despite distractions, to be able to concentrate on whatever they choose, and to retain what they learn longer.  For kids with ADD or ADHD, Pure Focus is the inner support they need while you as the parent work with getting their outer environment aligned better *removing distractions, junk food, giving them free play time, and enough physical exercise.)

If your child is also Indigo or Crystal, they may also need Indigo Support formula.  This formula helps them stabilize their own emotions and electrical field when it’s challenged by too much stimulation from any source.  They will like this one a great deal and ask you for it when they need it!

Most of all, stay away from pharmaceuticals unless they are absolutely necessary.  The only thing they do is to make your child into a zombie! Drugging is never the best answer – only a seemingly convenient one.  As the parent, you are responsible for making wise choices for your child.  Make sure you have examined ALL the alternatives before you choose.  And make sure above all that it’s in the CHILD’S best interests, not yours.

One of the sites I like for this is Karen Bishop’s What’s Up On Planet Earth (which now has a new web site called Emerging Earth Angels.)  Her latest post talks about the kind of strange “lull” some of us have been feeling, where projects are stalled, things seem to be at a complete stand-still, and equipment doesn’t work right.

For instance, my flagship web site was down for more than 48 hours from Sunday to Tuesday because of a major server failure; one of my clients cancelled her call because she just had a “blue screen of death” on her computer and had to send for a new hard drive to replace it — thank goodness for backup!  (Hey — you ARE backing up your systems and your data, aren’t you?  Make sure you do!)  And so on.  These things keep happening, and rather than become frustrated by them, it’s easier just to check out the energy flows and to see what’s happening on a larger scale.  The perspective is helpful.

And frankly, so is the rest!  We’ve been moving at quite the speed lately, and working hard in multiple dimensions.  We truly have earned a rest.  But sometimes it feels like I’m all geared up with nowhere to go!  Ever have that feeling?

For instance, have you noticed that the major storms and hurricanes that were predicted for this summer haven’t happened?  Did you wonder why that is?  I have.  And I’m pretty sure I know the answer, too.  What I think has happened is that enough Lightworkers have engaged with the elements on the planet, to create buffer zones when pressure starts to build.  We can quickly adjust to areas of stress on the planet, to ease the tension and prevent chaotic weather patterns from forming.  We humans are getting really good at this!

But it’s hard work.  It takes concentration and focus. And we’ve earned a rest.  So enjoy it.  I’m trying to, and waiting for the clear moment I’ve anticipated.  I think I’ll know when it arrives.

There will be more work ahead, and in different arenas as well.  Authorities are predicting a challenging fall this year with the flu and H1N1; stay healthy and take precautions.  I’ll post some links here soon that will help you plan and that can give you the information you need to keep yourself and your families safe.

And we could all do some work on the jagged polarities of them/us that still seem to get in the way of planetary harmony.

Meanwhile, check out Karen’s blog and see if what she has to say resonates for you.  It sure does for me — and doggone it, wouldn’t you know, it’s not what I wanted to hear either, because I’m smack in the middle of a big project and wanted it to move forward smoothly.  It isn’t.  And now I can see part of the reason why.  The Universe needs time to help us align properly, so that ALL our projects can manifest in divine order and perfection.  (Yeah, I’d rather have it that way too. . . )

How has the past month or so been for YOU?  Chime in and let me know.
