“Inner Christmas” 12 Holy Nights Dec 25 – Jan 6

Inner Christmas, a practice of inner renewal and development, begins on December 25 and unfolds nightly through January 6, the day of Epiphany. These are the 12 Holy Nights, a yearly time when our souls experience a unique connection with spiritual forces, the veils between heaven and earth lift and powerful inner insight and growth are possible.” ~ Lynn Jericho Inner Christmas

This is the perfect time of year (in the Yuletide prior to Epiphany on January 6th) to create sacred space to connect with that ‘inner still small voice’.

What is ‘Sacred Space’?

Sacred space can be as small as a deep cleansing breath you take in to clear your self or to prepare for meditation; or it can be a small physical space such as a window sill, an altar, or a larger space in a room in a home; or it may be larger still such as a garden or a cathedral or an ancient megalithic site. The primary importance is the intention of setting the space for sacred use or sacred connection to Nature, the ‘Divine’ or “All that is” in order to experience “I Am that I Am”.

How to Create Your Space?

It helps to choose a space that will not be likely to get cluttered or mixed with other energies. It may be a Read More→

The “Winter Solstice” Empowerment

By Shift Doctors · Comments (0)

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

This article is from Robert Peng’s latest newsletter. Robert is an extraordinary Qigong Master and the author of the book “Qigong Master: My Life and Secret Teachings”, which we have reviewed on this website and highly recommend, as well as his CD’s and DVD’s. We believe so much in his heartfelt teachings that we have recently just completed his intensive 3 month 12 Cycle Yang Qigong course.
Robert Peng‘s newsletter provides seasonal information from the Chinese calendar as well as giving a simple yet powerful practice called Jieqi Qigong. The transition between Jieqi occurs every two weeks. The universal energies released during the first two hours of the new Jieqi are powerful and auspicious just like the energy surge that follows the start of the New Year. Jieqi Qigong is a practice designed to help us absorb that outpouring of universal Qi energy directly into our spine.

Sign up for Robert’s newsletter and receive free video instruction for Jieqi qigong and find out about his qigong courses, books, and other teaching material at: www.robertpeng.com . The following is directly from Robert Peng’s most recent newsletter and is in his own words:

The “Winter Solstice” Empowerment

On Thursday December 22, the 22nd of the 24 seasonal cycles of the Chinese solar calendar begins. This cycle, Winter Solstice (Dongzhi), begins at 12:30 AM EST as the sun reaches 270° Longitude (0° Capricorn).
Winter Solstice is the fourth of the six cycles of winter. The theme of winter is wisdom and authority and over the next fifteen days, as the next seasonal cycle unfolds, nature will reveal essential qualities that you can awaken in yourself and use to align with the flow of life.
In the last cycle, Major Snow, the frosty hand of winter tightened its grip and we countered this trend by insulating our feet and kidneys from the cold and using simple “warming” strategies to keep our internal energies balanced. Over the next fifteen days nature enters a new phase and a new orienting theme will guide her activities. Read More→

Re-Discovering Ourselves Through Nature – Reclaiming our True Heritage

By Shift Doctors · Comments (0)

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

The Shift Doctors (Tracy Latz M.D. & Marion Ross PhD.) have had the opportunity to take both a Wild Edible and Medicinal Plant and a Survival Skills course in the mountains of North Carolina with Richard Cleveland, the Founder of The Earth School. They were both wonderful! Now taking a walk in nature is a totally different experience and our awareness of plants, trees, rocks and every aspect of Mother Nature has been integrated at a new level.

During the past 17 years Richard has taught nature awareness and survival skills to thousands of people of all ages. He is an avid outdoorsman, fishing guide, writer, public speaker and a self-trained Naturalist. Some have called him “The Upstate’s Survivorman.” He teaches children as well as Navy Seals nature awareness and advanced self-reliance skills. Richard’s Vision for Earth School is to create an environment where people can learn, share and respect the many gifts of Nature to connect with their roots (Mother Earth) once again.

Re-Discovering Ourselves Through Nature – Reclaiming our True Heritage by Richard Cleveland

Having taught Survival skills for nearly 20 years, I still delight in watching people re-awaken as the learn their true connection with Nature and of course the Earth. Seeing someone creating their first “fire by friction,”or eating and enjoying newly discovered wild edibles is truly amazing. I feel blessed.

The very word “Survival” conjures up a wide variety of emotions from folks. Some think Survival skills are cool and others associate the word with eating bugs and experiencing a great deal of discomfort. The truth is not what most believe. Yes, learning Survival basics like shelter, water, fire and food can save your life…but the lessons are really much deeper than that. Survival is your birthright! Knowing how to take care of yourself is Read More→

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

The Shift Doctors (Tracy Latz, M.D. & Marion Ross, Ph.D.) are thrilled once again to have our good friend and guest blogger Steve Nelson return to share his wisdom. Steve is an astrologer who follows a Jungian mythological tradition. He was raised by a part Cherokee shaman Aunt Maude who learned much of her lore from Molly Runningwolf, the mother of Amanita Sequoyah, the last Cherokee medicine man officially recognized by the Eastern Tribe. Steve’s Indian name is Steven Red Wolf, his lineage is of the wolf clan, one of the 7 tribal groups of the Cherokee. Steve follows many of the Cherokee traditions especially as these relate to celebrations, the use of ritual fire and star lore. For more information about Steve Nelson see www.GaiaAstrology.com

December 2011

This month the stage is set for the conclusion of the old world cycle and the beginning of the new. Venus aligns with Pluto on Dec 1 invoking the transforming power of love. Love will be king in the world we’re entering. Venus/Pluto in trine with Jupiter prepares the way for the death/rebirth and healing of the king – and the coming forth of the new king. While Jupiter is retrograde (until Dec 25) the ways of the world’s false kings continue to be exposed and old world shadows are brought to light to be transformed. This is the function of the global Occupy Movement. Energy set free from these old patterns breaking will power the new creation flowering through 2012.

On Dec 25 the spirit and consciousness of the new king, new leadership for the world, will begin to emerge. Mythically this Winter Solstice/Christmas marks the beginning of JRR Tolkien’s pivotal year when the dark tower falls (Mar 27) and the ring war ends (Nov 3). The important dates of this year are listed in the Chronology of The Return of the King. The first of these dates is Dec 25 when at dusk the company of the ring leaves Rivendell to begin their quest. The seeds of a great liberation are now being sown.

Three significant turnarounds make way for the 2012 global awakening. The first and most powerful is Uranus moving forward on Dec 10th on the day of the Total Lunar Eclipse. Then the wizard Read More→

Canonical Hours: A Metaphysical Discussion With Steve Nelson

Canonical Hours: A Metaphysical Discussion With Steve Nelson

Hallowmas Hora Nov 7-21, Expanding the Magic: Time is holographic and the year is like a day. The 24 hours of a day are reflected in the 24 horae or half-signs in the zodiacal year. The 8 canonical hours of the day correspond with 8 canonical horae in the year beginning with equinoxes, solstices and cross-quarter days. Canonical hours and canonical horae are fortunate times generally good for initiating any new activity. In these times we have more free will to create and re-create our world. The 24 horae of the year correspond to the 24 runes of Elder Futharck in classic order starting with Fehu for the first half of Aries. Each hora has a unique magic represented by its rune. The Hallowmas rune Sowilo (“Wholeness”) unfolds the magic of new beginnings; this hora is the womb of the future year.

Note: This mosaic in the Basilica of San Vitale illustrates the canonical hours and horae. These alpha times, angular times or angel times connect us with the divine.

Canonical Hours are Planetary Hours that vary between about 48 and 72 minutes according to time of year and day. Planetary Hours can be found on line by clicking on Astrolabe’s Planetary Hours page. Just enter your city and state for today’s Planetary Hours. Every third Planetary Hour starting from Sunrise is a Canonical Hour. Read More→

November 2011

A New World is being born! During this Celtic New Year Nov 1-7 the pattern of the new world emerging in 2012 will be revealed to all who look within and honor the unique note they bring. As the outline of this new creation becomes clear, old world ways that impede its realization are highlighted for transformation or elimination. This is the role of Scorpio.

As the month begins, Mercury and Venus appear together in the eveningsky, entering fiery Sagittarius in trine with revolutionary Uranus in Aries. Through the “month” wizard (Mercury) and witch (Evening Star Venus) partner to preside over the death/rebirth/healing of the king and global order of things. This transformation is catalyzed by a long term trine to Jupiter (king) from potent little planet Pluto, ruler of Scorpio. While Jupiter runs backwards (retrogrades) until Dec 25, the false king is exposed and old world shadows are brought to light to be transformed. Energy set free from old patterns breaking powers the new creation flowering through 2012. Read More→
