The Soul Journal "The world of nature moves in rhythms, patterns, and cycles - the passing of the seasons, the movement of the stars, the ebb and flow of the tides. The seasons do not push one another; neither do clouds race the wind across the sky. All things happen in their own good time - rising and falling and rising like ocean waves, in the circles of time. - Dan Millman Summer storms. It's monsoon season in Sedona, one of my favorite cycles of nature. They are magical to watch, rolling in across the red mountaintops. They carry an exciting yet ominous energy, warning us of their forceful approach with dark, thunderous clouds. Arriving with what you might call Presence. The heavens open up, and we feel their fury and their blessing unleashed all at once. The winds of Creation call our name as the water cleanses us. And at the end of the storm, we are kissed with a perfect rainbow. So, do we run away and hide from the storm, or do we stand and face its beauty and welcome the coming with open arms? It has been a season of great movement and and cosmic shifts. A time of restlessness, discord, anger, unrest. You may have been feeling it in your own life, your own monsoon season. Know that it's all part of our transformation and purification, the falling away of those energies that no longer serve our higher purpose. A time of change, where our past and future become one with the present, no longer standing separate and apart. Light workers recognize this as a time of soul evolution and initiation. Through initiation, we are changed and transformed. Such times can be difficult, painful, and bring us to our knees. Choose how you will respond. I have faced these cycles myself as I have moved through my healing journey. These are times of complete surrender, when the Divine Hand is the only thing to hold us in balance. Our power to ride through these seasons rests in that. If we rise up and meet them, our inner storms always bring a rainbow with Creation's voice, saying "And this too shall pass". May these sacred storms cleanse and purify you in all things, that you may see the Light guiding your path, in love, Stacey |

THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK exposes the tragedy taking place in Darfur as seen through the eyes of an American witness who has since returned to the US to take action to stop it. Using the exclusive photographs and first hand testimony of former U.S. Marine Captain Brian Steidle, THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK takes the viewer on an emotionally charged journey into the heart of Darfur, Sudan, where an Arab run government is systematically executing a plan to rid the province of it’s black African citizens. As an official military observer, Steidle had access to parts of the country that no journalist could penetrate. He was unprepared for what he would witness and experience, including being fired upon, taken hostage, and being unable to intervene to save the lives of young children. Ultimately frustrated by the inaction of the international community, Steidle resigned and returned to the US to expose the images and stories of lives systematically destroyed. It is already winning awards - check your theater listings and see this important film! |
Healing with Frankincense |

Healing Depression through Mind, Body and Spirit The number of people suffering from depression and anxiety attacks has risen at an alarming rate. Western medicine would leave us believing the answer is contained in a pill labeled as an anti-depressant, anti-anxiety medication. An integrated, holistic view recognizes that depression and anxiety is a negative energy turned inward that gets stuck, and has usually developed over a lifetime of emotional suppression. Think about a balanced approach to healing this state with integrative modalities such as acupuncture, energy work, yoga, and meditation, which will move energy stuck in a downward spiral, combined with a healthy diet, supplements and exercise. This often involves a committed lifestyle change, but in making such changes, you will root out the source of the depression and embark on a pathway that has long-term, lasting effects. |
