Here is the next article regarding an interview with a Pentagon insider called Drake. This is a very revealing interview. Even if you don’t buy into all of it, what is discussed is a do not miss. It’s thought provoking at the very least. Again, cut and paste this into your browser.

I am posting three separate pieces of information off of David Wilcock’s Divine Cosmos site that I find incredibly powerful and informative. I think whether you embrace the concepts or not, everyone should be aware of this information. My suggestion is to keep an open mind, and not dismiss it automatically. It affects all us. It’s allot to read and take in but in the long run I think you’ll be glad you took the time to read it. Love and light surrounding us all, as well as our dear Earth mother.

Copy & paste this link, it will take you to the section you will want to look at, you will need to start at the beginning…as I said it’s long. Initially David set out to disprove this claim, and the more he worked on the story it became clear that he couldn’t disprove it and IN FACT substantiated it.

I awoke this morning to an incredible inner joy and appreciation for my life, my family, my friends, my best pal Java and lovely kitty girl Jadey. I am so blessed and eternally appreciative of all the good in my life, the constant flow of abundance, beauty, joy and gifts of patience, kindness, sweetness, generosity and ongoing lessons for expansion, growth and awareness. Life has certainly changed and enlarged in beautiful and unexpected ways over the last 5 years. As I contemplate what has transpired during that span of time, I am appreciative of the inner growth that has already come, and that is still to come. I feel the lightness of being this very moment. The joy and beauty of life……is sumptuous.
I dream of a world of unconditional love and kindness. I dream of a world of genuine caring and support for every form of life on this planet. I yearn for the opportunity to serve my community, my universal family, the earth and the heavens. I dream of a world free of cruelty, greed, war and brutality. I dream of a world that supports my desires. I dream of a world where all people know and understand their own power within. I dream of a world of people who are no longer fearful of that separation from Spirit. I dream of a world where everyone knows where they came from, that they are unique, that they have a purpose and that they are meant to BE. I dream of a world that people instinctively know that it is good to love yourself, it is not selfish. I dream of a world free of limitation, lack and bondage. I dream of a world of freedom. I dream of a world where we understand our POWER. Just imagine what that would be like. What is your dream?
I have been blessed in my life to have loved, as well as being loved. Throughout my life it has shown itself in different forms. I open my heart to all the love yet to come…..giving and receiving. I have so much more to experience. I have so much more to learn. I have much more love to give. I have much more love to receive. I have so much to share.
Love to all on this day celebrating LOVE.

I moved to a small town in the mountains not far from Park City at the beginning of October 2011. I love the small mountain community, the peace and pace of life there. A good friend that lives in the same town spotted a cute little bungalow for rent. As it turns out it was meant for me, and my furry family Java and Jadey. After I had moved in I noticed without giving it much thought that I didn’t want to spend much time in the back yard, nor did my animals. There was a heavy energy emanating from the yard behind my house. As it turns out it’s an empty lot used for logs brought down from the pass above my house and then the logs are chopped and stacked for firewood to be sold.
After we had been there about a month my dog Java went through a period where he was waking up in the middle of the night a number of times, needing to go outside to the bathroom, which he has never done. I would wearily get my boots and coat on to take him outside in the dark. He would go out there and then just stare out; like he could see something but when I looked I didn’t see anything. This happened numerous times and I was concerned about his well-being. He also had an upset tummy, he would throw up and diarrhea was an issue. This was extremely unusual for him. He continued eating, he would still go to the bathroom regularly, drink plenty of water but he just seemed to be disturbed by something physically and sensory wise. I started to give him Reiki treatments just before bed which he would soak up. He would sleep through the nights of his sessions, his system would balance and he would be fine. The nights I would not give him Reiki he would have the same issues and be up at night, want outside then staring out into the night scape.
I spoke to my friend who had found the house initially about what was going on with Java. She asked me if I had felt the heavy energy coming from the back of the house. I said yes I had. She suggested that Java may be very sensitive to that energy and it’s disturbing him. That made sense to me, Java is a healing dog and he is very sensitive to energy as are most animals, but he seems to have an extra sensitive way about him. I decided to go in the back and have a talk with the land and the trees after that conversation. I’m so glad I did.
As it turns out the trees that were being cut and sold for firewood were so very, very sad. They had not known why they were taken from their home, even if they had fallen down in the weather. They did not know why they were not asked if they could be taken. There was this heavy, heavy, palpable sadness that just brought tears to my eyes as we communed together. As I offered Reiki to them and they accepted, I spoke to them about how that they were not taken out of disrespect and uncaring. The way they had been taken was out of ignorance and not malice on the part of the people involved.
I explained how they were doing a great service to those that lived in the community by providing warmth to keep families homes warm and dry in the cold winter months. I continued to tell them that they provided such a gift, and that everyone was so appreciative of the heat that they radiated in the stoves and fireplaces. At that point the energy shifted, and I could sense that the wood and land understood the why now. There was a physical release on my part sensing that from them, through tears and emotion. I told them I would be there on a regular basis as new wood came to speak and share with them too, as well as offer Reiki. There was peace.
After that healing conversation and offering of Reiki to the trees, Java’s issues cleared up. He no longer wakes up in the middle of the night needing to go outside, his physical symptoms have vanished. He’s back to his happy and strutting self. We truly are connected, and it was a lesson in respect and appreciation to all of Mother Earth’s creation/beings whether plant, tree, wildlife, or human. Once the trees had an explanation from the heart, it was such an easy healing transition for them into forgiveness. There was no animosity or revenge on their part either. They just craved understanding. Once that was offered along with appreciation, there was peace for them and then for all surrounding them. Thank you to Java, my friend, Reiki and most of all to those lovely fallen trees who reside behind my backyard. I will keep the conversation going. They have much to teach me.

I wanted to take this opportunity to point out a section that you may not have noticed on this site. It’s in the lower right hand corner of this page under Blog Roll. I have begun a list of links to people that have inspired me in my life, as well as partook of the services they offered. There are many more, but these are folks that have recently been brought into my life and shared their gifts with me. I’ve listed them chronologically.

Laura Bruno – Laura taught and certified me into Reiki I, II and Reiki Master/Teacher. I remember I had searched the web for a Reiki teacher, and the minute I saw her website and what she was about, I knew she was the teacher for me, and I was thrilled when she agreed. She was the perfect teacher for me, at a time when I didn’t know where I was headed; having that foundation of Reiki expanded my heart, and my life. She also offers past life readings that are transformation, which I have had, along with right on medical intuitive readings. Her life story is inspiring. She’s a wonderful writer, amazing artist, compassionate healer, raw foodie, self studied organic gardener to name a few of her passions. I so appreciate her patience and love.

Jon Rasmussen – I first met Jon at Luminata Books & Gift Store in Monterey, CA where he was giving a talk and book signing for “Dreaming Your World Into Being” a book that he had written. I had attended because I had seen the word Shaman describing him in the advertisement and I was drawn. That meeting changed my life. After his talk, I went up to him and said I want to do what you do. He quietly smiled and shook his head yes, I can see that he said. I learned about what a Shaman is and their relevance in today’s modern world and where I could learn the teachings that he had knowledge of. I found out about The Four Winds Society and the Healing Light Body School, which I began attending last year 2011. Jon is a practicing Shaman, an incredible healer. I’ve also had a few sessions with Jon. Very powerful stuff. Check out his website to see what else he has to offer.

Stephen Bruno – I first connected with Stephen through Laura. At the time they were married. He was offering Soul Purpose readings as a holiday special for the first time in a long time. I purchase a reading and thought that it was very meaningful to me. As it turns out Stephen is also a life coach. Stephen coached me through a very difficult time when my mother was ill and I was caring for her. His compassion, generosity of spirit, wisdom, & calming presence along with his no nonsense style really gave me a base to hold onto as we navigated that period with his expertise help. Stephen is a wonderful photographer, prolific writer, and also an incredible healer. Thank you for your kindness and compassion, and the bear story. You have to hear that.

Dancing Eagle Woman – She is a wonderful friend and Sister, an incredible person and human being that I am extremely blessed to have met. We met through our studies, and she is the epitome of Earth Mother to me. She walks in stillness, beauty and strength. She is a fabulous writer and photographer, she walks her truth. I love her dearly, and cannot imagine my life without her in it. No matter where we are geographically, she will always be with me in my heart. We are Soul Sisters. She has made an impact on my life that I have no clue where it will end…..maybe it won’t.

Dean Taraborelli – Dean is my teacher at the Healing Light Body School through The Four Winds. But Dean does many other things as well. Check out the link, he does phenomenal work at The Sanctuary. Dean is my Brother. Dean is me. He’s a powerful Shaman, intense, joyful, a hoot, humble and totally committed and passionate to those he teaches. Dean teaches, but he is a wonderful example of what he teaches. He always makes times for you, your questions, or just plain nonsense. Dean has inspired me to be committed and to be passionate about my work, to walk in integrity, impeccability and truth. When he talks about our work through the school, he says there are no teachers. WE are all on the same level, brothers and sisters, on our journey together. Thank you so much Dean for what you do.

I thank each and every one of you for being a part of my life as we all continue on the journey that we begun so long ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Reiki II is about learning the three sacred symbols for activating Reiki in specific ways. You learn to draw them, see them and say their names. You learn how each can be used individually and together. You learn how the energy feels when they are activated with Reiki. You learn the many ways each symbol can be used in your healing practice. You also receive your Reiki II attunement. Once your Reiki II attunement is received, we then practice with the energy from the Reiki II attunement, combined with the sacred symbols one by one. This is done in a group setting where we practice on one another giving and receiving Reiki. The ideal group size for this class and location is 3-5 students. If you are interested in re-certification for this class, please contact me for an adjusted class fee. At completion of the class, you will receive a beautifully created certificate of completion for Reiki II. Please contact me via email devierra555@yahoo.com or 209-559-5695. I would like to speak to you either way, so if you could provide a phone number via your email, that would be helpful. If you have any questions, also feel free to contact me. Namaste. Dawn

A dear friend invited me to participate in Sweat Lodge ceremonies on New Year’s Day. She had an invited me before, but there always seemed to be scheduling conflicts. But not this time, this is where I wanted to be and what I wanted to be doing on New Year’s Day. My friend has spoken so lovingly of the people involved and what it has meant to her over the past years to be a part of this family and tradition. I wanted to experience this for myself, and I was thrilled to be there. I have never been a participant in this type of ceremony and cleansing (at least in this lifetimeJ), it was all new to me, but as I said I was very excited about it. Part of my friend’s intent in inviting me was that I had just moved to the area where I am residing a few months ago, and the sweat lodge is a few miles down the road from where I live. She thought it would be a good way for me to meet people in my community, which I agreed was a wonderful plus.
My friend explained the general process to me prior to attending, so I would have some context of what would be happening. It all sounded good and I didn’t give it a second thought. Then the Medicine Man that presides over the ceremony took me aside and spoke to me about what would go on and if for any reason I start to feel uncomfortable due to the heat, please let them know and I could leave. I shook my head yes as to confirm I understood what he was saying. I knew I would be well taken care of after our discussion. The people that have been a part of this community for some time, it’s about the cleansing & healing of the body, mind and spirit. The ceremony this day consisted of honoring all four directions, South, West, North and East. Each direction consisted of a round, with a break in between each round.
The first round after I had been in the lodge for about 15 minutes my mind started telling me I was having problems breathing due to the heat. I resisted to the heat by lying on the ground where it was cooler, but that relief only lasted a short while. I struggled with my mind; reasoning with it, knowing that the fear that was gripping me was caused by the thought that kept repeating itself. Finally I was able to concentrate on what the Medicine Man was saying. He was speaking about the breath of Spirit….anyway that’s what I heard. As I listened more it came to my thought to stop resisting the feeling of not being able to breathe but surrender to the feeling. Once I was able to do that, I became much more comfortable and relaxed, and was able to finish the first round.
Inspired by overcoming the fear of the first round, I went on into the second round. I felt comfortable the first half of the round, and then we went into quiet meditation for a time. My mind started again…..this time it was telling me I was feeling claustrophobic. As much as I tried to resist that thought, it enveloped me in the stillness of the lodge. I started to become panicked at which point I had to talk myself through till the end of the session, which I was grateful for. At that point I decided that was enough for me for the day. I had really intended on going through the whole process when I began.
I was confused by all the fear that came up for me. What was that all about? Where did it come from? I didn’t have any answers. I spoke to the Honorable, Gentle and Humble Medicine Man afterwards to let him know what had occurred. I asked him what to do because I really didn’t want fear dictating what I did or didn’t do. He said softly and powerfully, pray to the Great Spirit. Ask for help with this by taking it away from you. He said sometimes you will get an answer quickly, other times it may take longer. He also told me to write about it, talk about it and pray about it, to keep repeating this cycle until it is put to rest for me. I thanked him and told him I would see him in a couple of weeks for the next lodge.
So I ask myself maybe I am fearful of the closeness and intimacy of the lodge. Maybe I am fearful of intimate relationships? Maybe fear doesn’t want me to know myself better? In my experience, especially these past few years, whenever I’ve encountered fear….it’s tried to keep me from the very best things for me. The stronger the fear usually indicates that what direction or path I’m taking is really the best for my Soul. I don’t have the answers right now. But I hope to soon when the Great Spirit feels that I’m ready. Until then, “I’ll write about it, talk about it and pray.” AHO.

I am holding Sacred Space for those interested in attending Reiki I Certification Classes. A class size of approximately 5 would be ideal. If you have been drawn to learn more about Reiki, maybe now is the time for you to sign up and make this commitment to yourself for 2012, a most pivotal year. Take this time to honor yourself…your spirit, your body, your mind. Have you noticed how quickly things are moving? Have you noticed how so much is happening? Have you noticed that you have a desire to find more peace within due to all the changes taking place, internally and externally? Reiki offers you a way to increase and maintain your spiritual balance at times when things feel tenuous and chaotic.

With Reiki I you learn about the founder and history of Reiki, the Reiki Principles, the lineage that you are becoming a part of, the Reiki I attunements, learning the hand positions for self treatment and the treatment of others, and finally enough practice time to feel comfortable with how Reiki feels on the giving and receiving end. The more practice you have, the more the Reiki energy strengthens for you, and the more confident you become using it. If you are interested in attending class as a new student, would like to be re-certified with Reiki I (the fee is adjusted for re-certifications), or have any questions, please contact me directly. I love connecting with potential students to see where you are at on your path and journey.

Many Blessings, Dawn! See the contact page for my email and phone number.

This Christmas/Holiday season, just as you most likely did I had plans to go visit family, in particular my daughter in Portland, OR. I was driving from Salt Lake City, UT the Friday night of Christmas. My best friend and buddy Java was riding with me in the back seat, both of us looking forward to spending time with Courtney (my daughter) and her dog Judah.
At the half-way point around midnight my car stopped running. Not only did my car stop running but I had never been on this route before. I wasn’t even sure what exit I had pulled off of when the car died. I had auto club service but my cell phone had one bar left and I wasn’t sure it would work. I did have a charger but it was a wall charger. I thought….I wish I had a phone that worked. That’s when the miracles began. Shortly after that thought I heard a woman’s voice call out to me, do you need a phone? I looked over and there was a woman in an SUV offering for me to use her phone and sit in her car to keep warm till help arrived. I found out she had just gotten off work, that she was a prison guard and that she was on her way home. I was able to contact the auto club and sit in her car till the police and tow truck showed up.
As soon as the tow truck driver secured my car on his truck, I asked if there was a hotel nearby. He said there were a couple, I asked do any allow dogs, he said he didn’t know. We drove a short distance, and sure enough there were a few hotels. I popped out of the truck and ran into the closest one. The first one had a room available at a reasonable price and they did allow dogs. YAY!
From that point on I experienced continuous displays of compassion, kindness, concern, advice, tenderness, strength, fortitude, ingenuity, generosity and much more. From the hotel manager allowing me to pay my bill by check, to the taxi cab driver who said that little money I had would be enough to take me where I needed to go, to friends that came to my aid….friends that I had really only known since May of this year. One friend assisted financially, another friend contacted anyone she knew to rally her dear friends to assist (all people I had met once or not at all). And all of this is taking place on Christmas Eve day, evening and Christmas itself. These dear spirits were dropping whatever they were doing to try to help another in distress.
I was a witness to one after another reach out to help in whatever way they could including a gentleman that lived in Idaho that offered to come and pick up my car and tow it back to where I live. Another friend offered to come pick Java and I up to bring us home, which she did on Monday that was a long, long drive for her on her last holiday day off. There was another friend offering their vehicle for me to use temporarily till I could make some other arrangements. Another friend that also offered me their vehicle after the first friend that had offered a vehicle needed it back due to car problems they were experiencing. There were even more instances but you get the idea…right. Everything & everyone was working in harmony…whatever was needed, poof….someone arrived to offer that. It was the epitome of heart centeredness and how we desire the world to be all the time. I’m here to till you it is like this….here and now…..and it’s only going to grow in this direction.
Despite the fact that my journey did not happen as I had planned……..there were so many unexpected surprises, gifts and love expressed…….I saw what the Christ was all about. I saw, felt and experienced that for myself.
I have so much love, appreciation, gratitude, respect and honor for every single person that came to my aid in some fashion or another. I didn’t really even need to ask….they were simply there. Spirit knew what I needed, sent the needed angels and provided it in abundance throughout the whole experience. I am humbled and awed by the whole experience. I was truly cared for, protected and loved.
Thank you to the Universe. Thank you to each dear heart for your assistance. I will never forget this experience. I pray to be alert and present when my turn comes to be there to assistant my fellow brother or sister.
