The following is an excerpt from the channeled messages delivered during our Imbolc Ceremony. Don’t over-think it. Just read & soak in the energies. During quiet moments, meditate upon the keywords & message to transform your awareness…

“Joyful Contemplation will benefit each individual during this time of New Energy, New Beginning, New Creation.

Visualize the innermost needs, desires aligned with one’s Truth, one’s Purpose, one’s Path. Visualize. Contemplate with eager, joyful, loving energy/intent to create in alignment with one’s highest aspects, divinity.

Meditation upon the Heart Center, Love, Intimacy, Peaceful Communication will bring deep understanding about one’s nature and areas in need of improvement for clear connection with the highest aspects. Meditation. Contemplation. Connection. Seek to Joyfully create one’s reality.“

Imbolc, Mid-Winter, marks the first seeds of Spring.

Imbolc literally means “in the belly.”

Even though the land is still covered with snow and frost, within the belly of Mother Earth stirs the seeds of the new season; a New Beginning. We celebrate the growing Light in the midst of darkness, rekindling the Fire both within ourselves and the world around us.

The energies of this season (from today until the Spring Equinox on March 19th) support CLEANSING and PURIFICATION. Our houses get a “Spring Cleaning”, however, we also prepare our minds and bodies by sweeping out the old; the outdated; all that is no longer useful in our lives.

We then draw forth the energies of CREATION, also ushered in during this season, to formulate, plan and visualize new “seed” ideas, goals and dreams to cultivate in the coming seasons.

Light a Candle during this period in honor of the growing Light within you and Gaia. Celebrate the Joyful times ahead for All!
Many Blessings!!!

The following is an excerpt from the channeled messages delivered during our Winter Solstice Ceremony. Don’t over-think it. Just read & soak in the energies. During quiet moments, meditate upon the keywords & message to transform your awareness…

Archangel Metatron

“Joy, Prosperity, Influence, Heartache, Inner Drama, Methodical Cleansing

These are the key words for Meditation, Contemplation, Connection. We urge you to connect. Receive the Inner Wisdom Codes.

2012 ushers in new energy; new energy supporting the Beginning of an age of increased Prosperity, Peace, Jubilation. For each to utilize these energies in accordance with the highest potential, it is imperative for shedding of lower thoughts, urges, behavioral patterning and attachments to worldly possessions. Seek to remove the blockages to the Oneness with the Inner Truth, Power and Strength.

Prosperity and Peace are on the horizon. Prosperity for all who ascend with the Higher Light available to humanity, to this planet Earth.“

*As always, the Key is Release of physical, emotional and mental blockages to our Highest Potential; to the optimal circulation of energy within our systems. Observe oneself with Truthful Gaze and set out to remove all that is blocking you from anchoring the Divine Energies into your reality. More insight on Retracing and Recapitulation 

“I am a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have enough humility to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.”     —Mahatma Gandhi

The Mendham Business Association would like to thank the Recreation Department, especially Bruce Bisceglia for the refreshments and the Department of Public Works for all their help. A special thank you to Mr. Lampine, Mrs Carpenter and the children of Mountain View School. We would also like to thank the Mendham Fire Department for driving Santa around town and to Marty Ford.

For each to succeed in the manifestation of their needs, desires for a new way, each individual will be responsible for shedding the lower vibratory frequencies. Each individual will be called to Release thoughts, memories, energies, blockages for one to move forward with the flow and the universal current being established at this vibratory frequency.

Each being must shed the lower energies, frequencies. This is the way to creation. Destruction of that which no longer serves must occur for creation of New Patterning, New Physical Existence.

Many will be overwhelmed by the notion of Release and Shedding of the memories and the energies associated. Many will require assistance, however, each has a responsibility to purify themselves. The opportunity to manifest great Change, Abundance, Peace is available for individuals as well as the Whole of mass consciousness.

We urge each to find Peace, Prosperity and Joy.

In the coming months many changes will arise. It is time for release of that which no longer serves the Beginning, the New; Inner Contemplation, Inner Reflection, Acknowledgement and Acceptance without fear, insecurity, or negativity. With ACCEPTANCE permanent removal is available. This New Beginning requires release of the old forms.

Focus upon Release, Healing and Acceptance of the gifts awaiting you.
