Plants Hear Water…

by

Yep. Plants hear water.

Why is this important to you?

Because we all need to expand our understanding of the natural world around us in order to create the shifts we need to heal our world.

We’re suffering from the profound disconnection we have created from nature. Some “new age” spiritual teachings actually promote this disconnection – light is good, dark is bad – high vibrations are good and low vibrations are bad – and our goal is “ascension” (meaning actually leaving the planet).Continue Reading

How I got my name…

by

My name, Ariana, is a spiritual name I took in my 30s. When I interviewed Riane Eisler recently for my Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder – for the healing of Earth summit, I told her the story.

I told her because SHE was really responsible for me taking the name.

Her book, The Chalice and The Blade, was a transformational book for me. Reading about ancient European cultures that had worshipped the Great Goddess, in which women held power in equalitarian societies, and war was almost non-existent, was a revelation.

Learning her language of the Dominator paradigm vs. the Partnership paradigm was liberating and affirming.

We are not doomed by human nature to use violence! Cultures existed in our past where women and men were in partnership with each other and with our Earth! We can do it again, and even better.Continue Reading

Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder

by

One of my speakers for the Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder summit told me a wonderful story.

She has been studying shamanism and sitting in circles with women from many cultures and traditions for years.

Many women in these circles realized they had been dreaming of each other – and that we are all receiving and carrying the same visions.

We are all being called to work together. There is no more time to hold sacred traditions tightly. It is time to bring our spirituality into the world, and yes, even into politics.

I’m not talking about bringing organized religion into politics. I’m talking about the underlying principles of spirituality – love and compassion, unity consciousness, the sacred nature of all life.Continue Reading

What’s important now? Healing our shadow, said my spirit guides…

by

I went into meditation recently with the question for my Spirit guides – What information would be most useful for people now? Healing our shadow, they said.

Healing of the self. Honoring the shadow as part of the self. Gazing with love at the shadow is extremely important right now.

We must do that now within ourselves, and we must do that with those we consider the Other. Especially those whom we consider to hold entirely wrong beliefs.

They reminded us that those others see themselves as whole. That they see us as the Other. That the Other is Us. (Who remembers Pogo?)

They remind us the Shadow is also divine. The more we love and see clearly our shadow, the more love we have to see the shadow in others and to send love to that shadow. It is about bringing love into the darkness. To receive and send love in the darkness.

Send love. Send love inward and send love outward. Send love into all the dark places, and honor the dark, as you honor and love the light. It is necessary for balance.

Accepting and loving the shadow in the self leads to healing the collective shadow.

Yes, action is necessary, they said. Love also spurs us into action. When we act from love and compassion, when we act from this place of being in balance with our own shadow, we are much more effective. And we bring healing, and we bring understanding, and we bring our listening, and above all, we bring our love.

Refuse to hate in the face of what looks like hate to you. Remember, the others see you as the Other. Remember, the others are seeing you as the hate. Remember, the others are us. Remember, the other is you. Remember this. Remember.

This is just a taste of what they said. To listen to the full 7-minute recording of this session, click here. (Sorry, my dogs chimed in during part of it…)

Got questions? Me, too..

Dear ones –

What are your BIG questions? I’ve been on quite a journey since the “election.” (Almost 3 million more votes, and HRC still LOST?) See below for my “ask” for your questions.

I’ve always been a very spiritual person, on a life-long spiritual and personal growth journey. I don’t follow one spiritual path. I love the phrase I heard when studying yoga, “God is one. The paths are many.”

Always one to follow my intuition, I’ve been fascinated by mythology and various spiritual traditions. I’ve studied some, and read widely. I mostly kept quiet about hearing, seeing and feeling things that others don’t – because, let’s face it, our culture generally discourages these abilities.

Now, I’m coming out! I recently graduated from a training with Seven Sisters Mystery School, and am now a Dove Oracle Priestess.

It’s a big title to claim, and I’m still growing into it. I’m truly delighted with the way this work is bringing together all the aspects of my training, experience and spirituality.

We are bringing back Continue Reading
