JOURNEY FOR A NEW YEAR 2017

12/24/2017

Journey for a New Year was a joyous and amazing experience!

57 people left their warm cozy houses on December 30, 2017 to drive in the rain and (some) sleet to come together as a tribe and to dream into being 2018- for ourselves, our state of Mississippi, and our planet!

We each used our own good medicine to let go, heal and create anew as we entered into the next phase of our "story" here on planet Gaia.

Old stories were finished, new chapters were written.

It was an honor seeing and being with everyone as we shared this sacred space. What amazing adventure it was, in a beautiful, sacred space.

THANK YOU
Thank you again to Gena Steele for originally offering her fabulous space at Thairapy Garden for this event, and for getting our PA and for drumming! Thank you to Joe Powell for finding us a place at St.James when our numbers outgrew our original space, and for moving furniture, opening doors, etc to make this happen! Thank you to Nina Ghaffari for sageing and drumming, to Linda Brewer and Barbara Boss for loaning us Riverwolf (the big drum) and to Nick Hunter for photos, heavy lifting, shaman caddying and checking in guests.

Most of all....thank all of YOU for attending and for bringing your good energy and healing powers!

There were many new journeyers as well as sage elders. All were needed and all were incredible!

CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to door prize winners: I hope you use your new journals throughout 2018 and have fabulous things to report at next year's event!

When I get out of the canoe, I walk on a sandy beach and into the woods. I find a circular clearing in the trees. I am dressed in a ceremonial outfit, with a breast plate that looks like the bottom of a turtle. I have paint on my face and I am wearing beads and feathers in my hair.
I begin to stomp to the sound of the drums and bats swarm around me, small and fast. I grab one and throw it hard at the ground and it turns to dust. I want to see this again and honor this urge to do this over and over to the drum beat, stomping and grabbing, and throwing bats to the ground. I then take a bowl that fits in my palm and begin to gather the dust of the bats. I realize the bowl is the top shell of a turtle. I stand up wondering what to do with this bowl of dust. I then notice that those who are attending the journeying event tonight are in this wooded area lying beside the edge of the clearing in blankets, looking peaceful. I walk over to them and begin to sprinkle the dust on each one. I intentionally go over each person, and on some, I massage the dust onto them and even rub it into their hair or massage it onto their forehead or on their ears. When I am finished doing this to each person lying there, everyone rises at the same time and begins to stomp/dance with me. Our stomp is loud and then I notice that the ground shakes and the trees jump when we stomp. The tree limbs are vibrating and leaves are shaking and I feel that they, too, are stomping with us. I then look up into the sky and there is a HUGE full moon. The moon is throbbing like a big heart and when we stomp, it pulses and sends a ripple away from it through the stars. I feel power, the power of unity. I also feel a call to action within. I feel like screaming at the moon, "I AM READY!"
When we canoe to the east and return, I am physically hot and jittery like I have had an adrenaline rush. My palms are sweaty and I feel activated and excited.

Incredible! I love this!Thank you so much for your healing and transformation!

Bat=VERY powerful medicine and shamanic helper for transformation and healing. Turtle=feminine energy connected to the Great Mother, also a symbol of North America (Turtle Island).

I see your journey as you, protected by the shell of mother Turtle, dance into your own Turtle power and Bat comes to assist you. The many bats represent all transformation and healing needed by the people (you saw us in blankets resting in the woods) and so you took the bats, crashing them into Mother Earth (Turtle Island) and allowing her power to pulverize all of the fears, illnesses and things no longer needed by us.

Mother Earth energy healed these issues and turned them to dust, as you then sprinkled the healed dust over us using the bowl of the Turtle (slow, gradual, nuturing transformation) as a way to reintegrate what is ours into our bodies.

Then, we rise together, healed and powerful from what you and the Earth and Turtle and Bat gave us, and together we danced and vibrated outward our unified healing force,through the earth and the trees ...

Mangified by the Full moon (another water, feminine symbol) our healing spreads to all the universe, reflecting out the intention 'I AM READY!"

The personal message to you: You are ready to continue your spirit medicine work! Healing in dreamtime is as powerful if not more powerful than in the 3_D world. Continue exploring your vision and the images and symbols. EVERYTHING has a message for you!

Bring meaning to your dream, and you will dream your world into being.
Much love! T

In the first journey my intention was for healing for all wounded little girls who have carried the weight of responsibility; children who have been abused and then feel as if they caused it. I brought my baby blanket and draped it over my eyes. I was instantly carried to a great fire, burning the home where I was molested. Little girls were dancing all around and in the fire. They were laughing, and leaping and twirling with no inhibitions. They were caught up in the fire and flew into the night sky with the sparks and smoke. I could not see all the faces, but I could hear the laughter and I watched in wonder and delight. I breathed healing to them and could feel their healing in return.

In the second journey, I was sitting next to Jennifer Welch in the boat, in the center. I did not experience a journey, but instead felt central, centered, present. It was as if I was there to assist, hold a space. When we landed, came back, I was exhausted. I could hardly raise my arms and it was difficult to stand.

Pam, thank you for sharing! Such a powerful healing to create and to dance in. Many of the journeys included dancing! What a beautiful symbol of the joyful, free heart.

Thank you SO much for coming and being a part, and for your connection!

Canoe journey – for us, for Mississippi, for the world
I am immediately there on the barge. We paddlers are kneeling along the sides and we are moving the canoe/barge swiftly toward the setting sun. I feel joyous and happy to be there. When we step out onto the shore the large grandfather drum begins to beat loud and fast. I am an American Indian woman dressed in white buckskin (I have had two Indian women come to me in previous meditations.This time I am her.) I have white eagle feathers in my left hand and my pouch of stones that I brought with me in my right hand. I begin to dance to the drum. It is beating very fast but I keep up and feel myself lifting up from time to time in my spinning and revelry. Many of those with me are dancing, some are walking, some are standing, and some are floating. By now I am dancing and twirling so fast that I am spinning and I lift off of the ground and into a shaft of light with pink sparkles. My eagle was there and we begin to fly.
I tell the eagle that I am in need of healing. He cocks his head to the side and looks at me funny. I am happy and smiling and I move into the eagle and we soar and fly higher and higher. When I look down I realize I am looking at Mississippi. I begin to fill it with pink energy (like the pink icing meditation we used to do at New Vibrations gatherings where we cover Mississippi with pink calming love.) I use my eagle wings to push the energy all over the state. As we used to do, I picture the pink energy going down into the houses, buildings, cars, into people’s nostrils and blood, and I’m watching them breathe in the love and smiling and being peaceful. Mississippi is covered and I move the energy down into the waters of the Gulf. When the pink gets to the water it blends with gold and I ask it to continue throughout all the waters of the earth.
I am the Indian woman again and the earth is in front of me like a big beach ball and I cup my hands and place them on the globe and pink energy flows from my hands. I move my hands cupped together all over the earth so that it is all covered with pink love. Suddenly a shaft of light comes up into the center of the globe and explodes gold and pink light over the entire world and then moves out into the galaxy and into the Universe and all there is. I throw my arms out feeling the intensity of the light and the globe becomes small and shoots into my heart. I gasp as the intense feeling of love and the light fills every cell and light shoots from me. I know that this is my healing.
I look up and see the eagle flying high overhead watching everything. I move into him again and we fly down to the earth, back to the shore and the people. As we swoop down toward the ground the eagle separates and soars back up into the sky. I am swirling down again through the shaft of light and pink sparkles. As I touch ground I am dancing again and twirling and throwing my head back in laughter and joy, with my feathers and stones back in my hands. I am so elated and feeling so happy that I am crying and laughing as I paddle back. And I feel that I will never not laugh, because I am filled with such ecstatic joy.

This was a beautiful journey and thanks so much for sharing, especially at the event. We all were moved by your voice.

I sure saw those sparkles, Karen, as we drummed for the group. I told the drummers,"I don't know what going on over there but there sure are some sparkly lights by Karen!"

I was so happy to hear so many people talking about dancing and laughter and joy in these journeys. It's definitely the vibration I want for 2018, and so grateful to you for spreading the pink icing love allover our state and world, as only YOU can.
