A Soothing, Summer Voyage into the Fantastic: a Must See

Summer is here! In past times, the car was loaded for a Summer vacation. Maybe not this year. We are watching that gas tank. Here is a proposal:

* secure a comfortable position in front of your screen

* rest your mind in knowing this trip will not add to pollution, road rage or stressors

* take a deep breath of anticipation

*  click Download FantasticTrip.pps, wait a couple of seconds,  enjoy!

(... and maybe you just get a still screen after clicking "open" in the dialog box; breath in; go to your taskbar, all the way down of your screen, to the right side and surf over the icons; click on the one that says: slideshow)

It's awsome!

On Peace

Jane B-Y sent us words on Peace by Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdamez, known as Monsenor Romero, Archbishop of El Salvador. Witnessing ongoing violations of human rights in his country, he started a group speaking on behalf of the poor and victims during the civil war in El Salvador. He was assassinated in 1980 during a sermon, by a death squad. The movie Salvador by Oliver Stone renders the political stage around the life of Monsenor Romero and on the Civil War of El Salvador. Calipaint


"Peace  is not the product of terror or fear.
Peace is not the silence of cemeteries.
Peace is not the silent result of violent repression.
Peace is the tranquil contribution of all to the good of all.
Peace is dynamism,
Peace is generosity,
It is right and it is duty."

Among others, Jane has included this photo (Bakersfield, CA,) titled "The Day when God dropped the Paintbox".

Sometimes, looking at beautiful colors of nature helps me to gratefully be still.

Kids, We hear you !

Here is good news!  We hear you, Kids!   (See preceding blog post:The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes)

Frances Beinecke, President of the Natural Resources Defense Council, writes to HMHC: 

"Celebrate our Arctic Victory! I'm thrilled to report that we just won an important interim victory in our long-term campaign to block Big Oil from drilling in Alaska's spectacular Western Arctic Reserve, one of NRDC's endangered BioGems.Map_westernarctic

 Thanks to your support, most of the Teshekpuk Lake region -- one of the most important tundra-wetland ecosystems left on our planet -- will not be opened to oil and gas development for at least 10 years.

 This victory is particularly sweet because we fended off the Bush Administration's plan to hand over this natural treasure to Big Oil before it leaves office next January.

Westernarctic_animal Next, we will focus our campaign on Congress, in support of legislation to permanently protect this world-class wildlife habitat."

Amazing Striped Icebergs

I like Nature. I spent most of my 3 first years of my life outside, almost all day long and well into a night a lot of times. Don't ask, it's my story.  After these former years, it often has been a challenge to be drawn into cultures where nature seems to have become a stage backdrop or a prey to satisfy personal needs. I can't do it. I have to live with Nature: feel, see, touch, smell, nurture with it. Doing so allows me to practice awe,  respect and gratitude in my life. I like that.

Thank you Jane B-Y for sharing the below wonder of Nature.

Amazing striped icebergs

Iceberg1 Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions. Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melted water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form. When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe. Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.

National Nurses Week: A Special Gift from HMHC to All Dedicated Nurses

To honor their dedication to the health of others, High Mesa Healing Center is celebrating National Nurses Week, May 6-12, 2008, with a Complementary Healing Touch Session for nurses. The gift also includes free Migun Bed Sessions.

Please read on how Barbara Mader, RN,CHTP and HMHC Director, is expressing the passion and dedication of her own vocation, and of those who chose to serve others in the Health Care field.

"A Profession and a Passion"

Often described as an art and a science, nursing is a profession that embraces dedicated people with varied interests, strengths and passions because of the many opportunities the profession offers. As nurses, we work in emergency rooms, school based clinics, home health and homeless shelters to name a few. We have many roles- from staff to educator, to nurse practitioner and nurse researcher and serve all of them with passion for the profession and with a strong commitment to patient safety.

Nursing is a calling, a lifestyle, a way of living, a profession that cannot be lived in isolation; nurses rely on each other for the synergistic effect of teamwork of care giving. It is appropriate that we honor nurses this week in May for the difference they make by stepping into people's lives. Nurses are the heart of healthcare."

Please come out to enjoy a wonderful, loving and relaxing session with Barbara. It is a time to pamper yourselves and to receive thanks for caring for others. Call HMHC at (575) 336-7777, or email at HMHC to reserve your special space.

Thank You to all Nurses!

WORLDWIDE DRUM VIGIL MARCH 21

Heartbeat_newsletter_picture_in_jp



: WORLDWIDE DRUM VIGIL MARCH 21

Beloved Community Drum Keepers,

We have the unique opportunity to Sound the Heartbeat Together in our MARCH 21, 2008 WORLDWIDE DRUM VIGIL. The Grandmother Drum International Peace Project and Community Drum Keepers will join together with:

1. The International Indigenous University: The Ceremony of 8,000 Sacred Drums.

8,000 DRUMS on March 21 at noon / central time
March 21, 2008

From the Otomi Ceremonial Center
Temoaya, Mexico

According to a Sacred Prophecy revealed at the Otomi Ceremonial Center by the Otomi Elder Sages as a Vision of our Venerable Ancestors, the day when the sounds of 8,000 Sacred Drums join together will be the beginning of the healing of Mother Earth, of all the species and the human family in order to be able to live together on the road to Sacred Peace.

It is time to unify ourselves and rediscover all the seeds of the Four Directions in order to reactivate cosmic energy, heal historical wounds and heal Mother Earth by respecting life, liberty and the dignity of our Peoples. The first great ceremony was held March 21, 2004 in Temoaya, Mexico and there will be drum circles joined around the world on the Spring Equinox continuing every year until 2012.

Sacred Principles:

*Sealing and healing the wounded vertices of Mother Earth is urgent.
*Identifying and activating the Indigenous energy centers at sacred places is our duty.
*Planting and strengthening consciousness of love and respect for our Mother Earth is everyone's work.
*The Indigenous ancestral recommendation to create and practice the Grand Culture of Peace and Life is fundamental.
*Recognition of the use of the energy and healing properties of our sacred instruments is a principle goal of our Indigenous Mission.

Fulfillment of the Prophecies...

500 year-old Otomi Prophecy...When 8000 sacred drums play together, an intense healing of Mother Earth will commence.

Inca... Call it the 'Age of Meeting Ourselves Again'.

Hopi... Predict a 25 year period of purification followed by End of Fourth World and beginning of the Fifth.

Mayan... Call it the 'end days' or the end of time as we know it

Maori... Say that as the veils dissolve there will be a merging of the physical & spiritual worlds.

Zulu... Believe that the whole world will be turned upside down.

Hindu... Kali Yuga (end time of man). The Coming of Kalki & critical mass of Enlightened Ones.

Aztec... Call this the Time of the Sixth Sun. A time of transformation. Creation of new race.

Pueblo... Acknowledge it'll be the emergence into the Fifth World

Cherokee... Their ancient calendar ends exactly at 2012 as does the Mayan calendar.

Tibetan... Kalachakra teachings are prophesies left by Buddha predicting Coming of the Golden Age.

Egypt... According to the Great Pyramid (stone calendar), present time cycle ends in year 2012 AD

Dogon... Say that the spaceship of the visitors, the Nommo, will return in the form of a blue star.-Courtesy of Bernardo

NOTE: 8000 Drums Magic Number
This number 8000 has a very special relationship.

It has been found that it takes a certain number of
people to start a shift within human consciousness.
That number is the square root of 1 per cent.

There are over 6.5 billion people on Mother Earth right
now and square root of 1 per cent is around 8000

So the 8000 is around the minimum number we need to start this
process of healing. Amazing!!! this prophesy has a number directly
related with our human consciousness.

As we do this drumming, we can also FEEL the HEALING
of ourselves and Mother Earth as if it has already happened.

In other words, step into that future where this healing has
already taken place and give THANKS to the CREATOR for
giving us this blessing.

A Personal View Point On Living and Dying

Experiencing life and death.

The linked video is by Randy Pauch, an amazing man who shares his personal journey with us through his knowledge of his upcoming death from cancer.  This was viewed on Opra.  It is one of the most powerful messages I've ever seen about being grateful, humble and truthful with yourself and everyone else.
