Amma Rose Oil

If you've come to the classes you are familiar with the rose oil I use. This is the link to Amma's rose oil so you can order your own. This bottle lasts quite a while. A single drop in my palms in the morning, and my son still can smell it on me in the evening. Carries a very high vibration.

If you don't know who AMMA is, she is a hindi master that travels the world, giving hugs. People line up and wait as much as 10 hours to get a hug and bask in her energy. She is said to be pure love, and is said to be the incarnation of Mother Mary.

She comes to the Bay Area, to NM, to Seattle. Her tour is posted on her website too.

Wayanay inka

Love the flutes! This is lovely music, not traditional peruvian, but is from a peruvian group.

The art of the Mesa

The center of your mesa is your axis mundi, the connection point.
We are creating a space between the worlds. The mesa intersects then with the upper, middle and lower worlds and allows us to navigate them all.

To understand yourself, look at your mesa, but with the eyes of a poet. You must let go of words and feel into your mesa to understand the dialog that resides there. It speaks to your heart, to another you that sleeps within.

The beads then, are the vessel, the container. What happens within is the happening of your life. Each stone informs us.
We change our mesa to change our world.

We divine, we declare, we manifest via the mesa. We come to understand ourselves, and our place in the world.
Each stone is a healer. Each stone has a power that we have called to us through the work.
The stones are cu-yas, sweet babies, parts of ourselves, conduits to nature and elemental, primal power.
Each stone helps us hold, create and navigate our own unconscious.

The mesa then, is the healer's body. It is our sacred source to the universe, and port of communication from the universe.
It is not to be stepped into lightly, and yet it is. You are calling up your own deep resources. Do it with laughter and joy. Do it with innocence and wonder. Let yourself play.

What is a mesa?

In the traditional sense, a “Mesa” is an alter. When we open our mesa, we are dialoging with ourselves, our guides, and we open a space ‘between the worlds’.

A mesa is used for healing work. The first level of the work is the development of a dialog with yourself and learning the language of symbol, color and sensory messages. It is the development of your relationship with your own unconscious self. It is the development of SACRED space. S.A.C.R.E.D. means opening a “special area created as respect especially for the divine.” As you are the center of your mesa, you are beginning to relate to your inner self as that divine connection.

Working with our inner selves, moving energy, doing healing work, and personal journeys for information, the mesa is our personal expression, and the development of a deep connection to our own inner world. It is the dance between our conscious mind and our unconscious mind. The mesa becomes the bridge between our selves.

We first read the layout of our mesa, feeling into it. And then we decide what we want instead, and change it. The Qero believe in the influencing of our futures, not just reading them. They take a more proactive engagement with the time lines and luminous threads that we move along on.

Different mesas, stones, layouts, and expressions of personal self are taught and awakened. No two are the same, and often the mesa changes from month to month, day to day. As we are dynamic beings so is our mesa. It is an energetic living force, and we come to the mesa for change, for power, for strength, for steadying, for information, we come with gratitude, with respect and with humility. When we open our mesa, we are opening sacred space, and we are opening our own communion with the energetic world around us.

Our mesa then, is a portal of communication, and an opening for change.

So the first question to ourselves is how are things, and the second is what do I want instead of this? We track and align with what we are engaging, what we chose, and what we move away from. It is an active relationship with our inner selves which is expressed in out outer world.

THe shaman always works on themselves to affect change around them.
