Mother Earth
breathes, just as we do. Among Native Americans and Tibetan
cultures, the process is known as her lunar (night) and solar
(day) breaths. There are areas where she actually exhales or
inhales. In the Southwest area, the Hopi region known as Black
Mesa is where she expels her lunar breath each night. The
resulting wind from the exhalation is known as spirit wind.
Anyone who has experienced this incredible phenomenon will know
immediately what it is, because it has a sound that is highly
unusual, almost eerie, although not in a negative sense. I've
seen tree limbs crack in the wake of the spirit wind as it
shrieks through our canyon on some nights. It comes suddenly,
without warning, and has nothing to do with the prevailing
weather or its patterns.
Tibet is known
as the region where the Mother inhales her solar breath. Anyone
who has been in a cave, especially a large, deep one, has
experienced an incredible sense of nurturing energy, as though
in the Mother's womb, as well as the breathing of the cave.
These regions where she breathes are also powerful points on her
surface. The Hopi zealously guard the Black Mesa area for many
reasons both secret and sacred. They are the keepers of this
mesa, and they are charged with its well-being just as the
Druids were charged to keep their vortexes clean, operational,
and in good repair.
Just as our
bodies' chakras can open, close, or get blown out by a severe
shock or trauma, so can those of Mother Earth. Ideally, when we
are in perfect harmony, all our chakras are open and running.
However, most of us aren't there yet, so our chakras are at
different stages of opening or closing down or are clogged with
positive ions which I call "goo". Some or all of their
petals/propellers might have been damaged, shredded, or torn off
by some terrible trauma or shock.
Mother Earth is
in a situation similar to ours. All her chakra points are not
open but might be shut down, clogged with etheric debris or
ripped so that the energy isn't being funneled out or in
properly. The Druids of long ago used song, sounds, and
ceremonies to keep a chakra open, cleaned, and in proper working
order. That is what the series of mounds throughout the
Mississippi Valley were about: taking care of major chakra
points in order to ensure the smooth, operational running of the
north-south energy grid through that region.
When these
chakras get clogged with debris, they slow or simply shut down
and refuse to work. That means that the energy flowing into that
region is diminished or denied. When this happens it will, over
time, deprive a region of fundamental, life-giving energy. The
results can be catastrophic. The latest example of this is
California. No one has ever seen such a series of devastating
natural disasters. First, a series of earthquakes, then fires,
now mudslides.
In September of
1993, I went back to my original "home" where my first
vision was given to me: the sequoias of California, high on the
western slopes of the Sierra Mountains. I had been going back
there, usually at the autumnal equinox, for almost sixteen
years. The sequoias were a real power center, but it had been
ten years since I'd last visited my friends. When I reached them
this time, the sacred energy that used to be there was gone. I
was in shock as I walked through the groves of my friends. I
asked them, "What happened?" They told me, sadly, that
they could no longer hold back the negative energy of Los
Angeles with all its gang wars, the city having become a war
zone. Their energy had been moved.
My trees told me
that because they could no longer pump the vital, life-giving
energy into Mother Earth in this region of southern California
and part of Arizona (the Grand Canyon), it was now barren.
Without positive energy being given to the region, the negative
or dark forces could run amok without any interference and could
literally take over.
It was September
of 1993 when I was told this. Shortly after that, devastation
hit southern California. Earthquakes have been proliferating
throughout this region, including the Grand Canyon, indicating
that the land is showing the stress of the loss of this vital,
life-giving, balancing energy.
It isn't going
to stop for southern California, because a major energy center
has shut down. Some day, I'm sure, this vortex will reopen, but
right now, it has stopped completely. The pollution by humanity
both by car engines and by prejudice, hatred, and anger has done
even more damage to the sacred energies of this region. Because
the energy has moved, it leaves the region wide open for all
kinds of natural disasters. These "disasters" are
Mother Earth's way of cleansing the region, getting rid of the
disease that has resulted in her going out of harmony, thereby
causing the energy that rightfully belongs there for her
continued health to leave. She will do everything in her power
to cleanse the area -- and I've got to say that fire, rains, and
mudslides are certainly cleansing activities. So is wind and so
are earthquakes.
I don't pretend
to be a prognosticator of future events in an area, but I can
speak from my knowledge of the gridwork and etheric body of
Mother Earth. Once they are messed with, then disasters to
cleanse a region are not at all uncommon. The
"infection" in southern California has created
disharmony for her, and I know she won't stand still for it. If
you had a wound on your body, you'd instantly cleanse it to get
rid of infection, wouldn't you? So will she.
When an area is
sufficiently cleansed, then the energy will return and the
chakra will gradually, over time, open up and begin to spin
again, absorbing and transferring the life-giving energy back
into the region. We can do our part to help keep a power point
clean and functioning or to stop the encroachment of negative
energy.
Many times when
I go into a chakra region in Sedona, Arizona, I carry my flute
or drum or take the pipe or a ceremony into the vortex to give
back to it. I take nothing from a vortex because that's not my
job as a pipe carrier. Each song that is sung, each drum that is
beaten, each pipe that is smoked, each rattle that is shaken
will bring positive energy into the vortex if you're coming from
the heart. You don't need to know about ceremony or be a pipe
carrier in order to bring light, love, or positive energy into a
chakra. I meet a number of other like-minded, sensitive people
on the trail, either going in or coming out, who are also
carrying ceremonial items such as the above, to do the same
thing as I have done -- help support the region in a positive
way.
A friend of
mine, Michele Burdet of Switzerland, is a dowser and during a
recent visit, we traded information about her findings in the
great churches of Europe by using her techniques and knowledge.
I invited her to use her dowsing abilities on the land we
caretake, especially where my hogan is built over a vortex. By
using her own techniques, she told me it was feminine energy, a
sacred and ceremonial energy center. She was right.
You can feel the
gridwork and chakras without even realizing it. In training my
facilitators, I put them through several exercises that help to
bring out and emphasize their own natural abilities to sense
these sacred areas. First, go to an area that you like. Often
this is a high-energy area of some kind. Sit down. Close your
eyes and get comfortable, perhaps in a meditative state. Take a
deep breath through your nose, deep into your body, and then
release it through your mouth. Do this three times. This is an
Apache breathing technique that is designed to switch you from
the left hemisphere of your brain, which will keep you anchored
in the third dimension, over to the right hemisphere, where you
can connect directly into the cosmos and into your own intuitive
self in order to feel these vibrations.
Once this is
done, just relax and feel, see or sense what comes to you in the
form of impressions. When in the region of an Earth chakra there
is always a spinning sensation that comes from your root chakra
at the base of your tailbone, and you will rock. You will rock,
usually, in an east-west direction or in a north-south
direction. These are indicators that you're on a pretty powerful
spot.
I never enter an
area such as this without first giving an offering of cornmeal,
tobacco, or food to the spirits who inhabit the region. Then I
always ask permission; I ask if I may walk into that area. I
explain that I come in a sacred way to give back to the place,
not to take from it. If I am going to sing, I tell them I am
going to sing. I wait for either a yes or a no. You'll feel it,
believe me. If I get permission, I go into the area.
There are some
sacred areas that are only female or only male, and the area
wants only one gender or the other. I know of a number of places
up in Oak Creek Canyon [Sedona] that are strictly male areas,
and many medicine men take their male students there. I would
never think of going into those areas because I am a woman and
of different energy. To do so is to be disrespectful and is also
to influence the male energy that is there for a good reason.
Honor these differences.
This is only
scratching the surface regarding the chakra centers, the
vortexes, that cover Mother Earth's etheric body. You can help
her to get better, even to get well, if you work with these
special areas of energy by coming from the heart and giving
something of yourself, such as a song, an offering, the playing
of a musical instrument or whatever else you might think of that
would be appropriate.
Our Mother is
hurting; she is diseased, thanks to us humans. What we've done
wrong, we can right. So go seek out these places and give back.
I know she'll appreciate your generosity of heart and spirit.
