Odd Ducks

Another month is over. Only three remain in 2021. Campaign signs are sprouting up on lawns and proliferating in the ‘unoccupied territories’ of weeds near stop signs. It seems like nothing changes. And yet, at the same time, we know everything does. We know it and yet a part of us works overtime to remain in denial. We humans are odd ducks indeed.

One thing that’s changed dramatically since last week is the weather. Suddenly it’s fall. There’s an unmistakable shift in the air. It’s crisper. And the light? It’s gone by 7:15 p.m.  All of which means it’s time to start thinking about hunkering down.

Quick Reminder

Since we’re starting a new month tomorrow (today by the time you read this), it’s incumbent upon me to remind you of your opportunity to enter into active relationship with Nature and the spirits of your land (no matter where you live) to create balance and minimize the effects of climate change.

Yes, I’m reminding you to whip out your Essence of Perelandra bottle and engage in the Essence of Perelandra Biodiversity Project. It literally takes no more than five minutes to employ this process yet the impact is profound. And it has a cumulative effect, so no matter when you start, know that every time you do it, you’re reinforcing your connection with the appropriate nature spirits and making life better for all Beings.

It amazes me to realize I’ve been writing about the EoP Biodiversity Project for over two years. Perhaps it’s because it’s so simple, people are inclined to think it’s not powerful. And yet…

They Need Us to Care

I ran into this guy the other day (luckily not literally). I just love his antlers. They seem so young and tentative, and yet he is the model of virility. I was pleased he allowed me to get so close to him.

It’s time to use our power for good. If we see dithering elsewhere, we need to get to the point. We’re being asked to walk our talk. It’s time.

New Month, New Year, New Decade – Day 415

New Month, New Year, New Decade

The turning of the year this year feels momentous. I’d like to say I’ve taken a lot of time this week to reflect and contemplate not only on the past decade and year but also on the year and decade ahead. But I’d be blowing smoke.

That’s not to say that I’m not going to engage in these activities tomorrow. But I’m a little disappointed that I haven’t…yet.

All in Good Time

I’ve noticed a resistance within myself to even writing as much in my journal as I usually do. Perhaps it’s because it’s the end of the decade. Or perhaps it’s because I sense a lot of big changes ahead.

Every time I see a window of half an hour or so and find myself thinking, “I want to write in my journal,” I pick up my notebook and feel a very unusual sense of being stymied. There’s some deep stuff rumbling very, very deep down, deep in the cavernous nooks and crannies of my heart and soul. Either that or <<poof>> there’s nothing left.

I haven’t decided.

There’s some really wonderful personal stuff to look forward to in 2020. Perhaps I should focus on that because, very uncharacteristically, I’m finding I don’t even dare think about the bigger stuff that may or may not unfold in the world.

I sit here yearning to be optimistic. I want to feel good, deep down, about where we’re headed. But a weary part of me suggests we’ve been here and done this already, and the lessons haven’t been learned. And even worse, I look around and witness more and more willful ignorance, more and more deliberate refusal to seeing what’s right before our eyes.

I was in a room full of millenials this evening. We played Cards Against Humanity, laughed a lot, and enjoyed each other’s company in what’s become our unique version of a New Year’s tradition, which we’ve cultivated over the last ten years or more. We rang the new decade in and suddenly, it seemed, the desire for sleep demanded immediate attention. The quiet that preceded the decision to get some rest was precipitated by me asking them what they feel the coming decade holds for them. The uncertainty of what the future holds was palpable.

Quiet

There’s work to be done ahead of all of us. Attention to be paid – both to where we’re going and how we’re going to deal with the consequences of where we’ve been.

This decade is momentous. I just can’t escape this conclusion. And yes, every decade is, in its own way. But if we’re paying attention, we know the tipping point is teetering underneath our feet. And it’s not just a tipping point for one major challenge. We’re surrounded by them: issues and challenges that have knocked on our doors for years and years, and because we refused to answer, have now become crises. It’s a tipping point for us.

But I want to be my optimistic self. I want the next ten years to be a transformation – an evolution – of the way we live on and with the Earth, and with each other as well.

We can do this. We can come together. We can decide to look at our situation and choose to work together to change it all.

Even if we’re in for even more upheaval before we break through to the next level, we must remember the power in solidarity. And it’s the solidarity of love that’s the greatest force. That’s what will help us let go of what no longer serves and hold onto what’s truly important.

Let’s make every day in this decade count.

EoP BioDiversity Project

And to that end, don’t forget to set aside the (literal) minute it will take to do the EoP strengthening exercise with Essence of Perelandra on the 1st day of January. You’ll recall I’ve encouraged this practice every single first of the month for many months now. You can read about it here and here and here.

Even taking this one little step and committing to joining the force of your energy with those of others all over the world every first of the month will have a huge effect on shifting the trajectory of the decade we’ve just entered.

Every step counts. Every commitment counts. Every smile counts. Every decision to make a difference counts.

Together, we can achieve anything.

Happy New Year! Happy 2020! Happy Decade of the 20s!

Snowstorm Mish-Mash – Day 385

Posted on by Lisa Weikel Leave a comment

 

Snowstorm Mish-Mash

What snowstorm?

I know there’s a chance we may wake up tomorrow with snow falling and the possibility of 8” or so of the white stuff actually accumulating throughout the day. But at the moment, at least, it doesn’t feel like it’ll materialize.

All day today, I felt as though I was waiting for something to happen. I’m not even sure, really, what I was waiting for or, more importantly, why. Who cares if it snows? And why should it matter one way or another?

The Damage Was Done

It didn’t matter what happened today, weather-wise, because the damage had been done. Out of a sense of prudence and caution, our kids went home early. They live too far away and directly in the path of this slow moving precipitation event to mess around with simply hoping the rain wouldn’t change to ice or snow.

It was a particularly disappointing and abrupt end to the Thanksgiving holiday because it seemed as though every day they were here entailed visits with other family and friends. The visits weren’t the problem by any means; but we ended up with no days to ourselves.

Alas, not a single game of hearts was played.

Not Even a Walk

And then there was the frustration of the non-stop rain today. We didn’t even manage to fit in a walk, which, quite obviously to anyone reading this, contributed to a build-up of crank-monsters in yours truly.

Nevertheless, I am grateful that our holiday was spared any mishaps – caused by weather or otherwise. I hope the same is true for all of you.

EoP Biodiversity Process

I forgot to remind everyone that today is (or was, technically, for many of us) the 1st of December, and thus the day to use your Essence of Perelandra to work with Nature on the EoP Biodiversity Process. That less-than-one minute process is such a simple way to join other like-minded people around the world in coordinating with Nature to make a difference. By engaging in this process, we provide a network of stabilizing strength for all living beings to draw upon as our planet undergoes major changes.

Hopefully, some of you may still have time to get the job done if you live further west. But if you didn’t remember this month, I personally think it wouldn’t hurt for you to do it right this moment, as you’re remembering it. Adding your intention to all the efforts of those who performed the process on the 1st can only be a boost to the intentions of all.

You can also set your calendar so you remember to perform the process one month from now: on the first day of January, 2020. I will also make a point to remind us as well.

Cocoon

And if we do end up having some serious snowfall tomorrow? Perhaps we can nestle into our warm cocoons (if we’re lucky enough to have them) and dream some dreams for 2020.

Don’t forget the EoP! – Day 323

Don’t forget the EoP!

By the time I post this, it will be October 1st. As I shared both in late August and on September 1st, there is a pretty cool way to enlist the aid of Nature spirits in bringing our environment into balance.

If any of you have looked into the concept behind Perelandra and possibly purchased a bottle of Essence of Perelandra (EoP) with which to participate, you will realize that this is not some nefarious money-making scheme or anything like that. Yes, you need to purchase a bottle of Essence of Perelandra in order to participate. But the entire process, called the monthly EoP Biodiversity Project only requires use of 10 drops from a dropper and five minutes of your time (at the most).

I encourage you to check out the links I’m providing in this post as well as the ones I provided in my two earlier posts, if you care to learn more about Perelandra.

An Added Bonus

One perq to checking out Perelandra and purchasing some EoP is the fact that you can (and probably should) squirt some of those drops into your mouth as you engage in the Biodiversity Project. (Well – before or afterward would probably be better.) That’s because EoP can be effective in bringing balance to you and your emotions, as well as bringing balance to the systems comprising your environmental biome.

If you poked around the Perelandra website at all, you may have seen reference to ETS, which stands for Emergency Trauma Solution. (This is similar to Rescue Remedy®, which is a product put out by Bach Flower Remedies.) Personally, I’ve found ETS to be really helpful when I’m feeling particularly anxious or upset over something. And it can be something personal or, as is more often the case, something going on in the larger world – such as politics.

With this in mind, I’m thinking it would probably be beneficial for all of us to make sure we have a bottle or two of ETS handy in the coming days and months.

Chaos?

I’m not intending to be hyperbolic, but taking into consideration the factors I often keep an eye on, such as major astrological aspects, numerological influences, but even more so my own increasing sensitivity – not to mention just simply paying attention in general – I feel it is incumbent upon all of us right now to do whatever we can to hold our centers and remain balanced and calm in the days and weeks to come. ETS can help. So can EoP. And taking them throughout the day (and keeping them handy) is something simple that can really help you cope – which in turn can influence how you react to others and influence others.

Yes, I feel things are going to get incredibly intense, volatile, and perhaps even take some turns that none of us would have ever imagined possible even last month, before they eventually get better. And if you’ve even been paying attention over the past 12 hours, you may have a sense of the genesis of my concern.

Personal, Local, National, Global

It doesn’t matter where our greatest or most immediate stresses are originating. Indeed, for most of us, I’d wager we’re ‘feeling the love’ from every sector. What matters is how we respond.

What matters is whether we give ourselves strategies – some small scale and some much more complicated, depending upon our resources and connections – to cope with challenges to everything we hold dear: the environment, our families, our health, the rule of law, integrity, and justice, to name a few things that matter (at least to me).

We’re in this together. I’m feeling the agitation in the air. And I’m sure I’m not alone.

Tomorrow/Today

Tomorrow we can take a couple small steps toward creating balance and harmony. We can take five minutes to bring our attention fully to our environment and offer ten drops of EoP to the Nature spirits on our property. And we can take some ETS to help us hold our centers.

Perhaps we might also thank our stars that we’re not personally embroiled in the cluster@#%$ that’s unfolding before our eyes nationally.

I know this may sound sappy, but please: hold a vision in your hearts of the principles our country was founded upon holding firm and carrying us through this crisis. May we learn from what is unfolding before our eyes and use these lessons to all our benefit: personally, locally, nationally, and globally.

Welcome September – Day 293

Welcome September

Wow. Well, here we are, slipping into the home stretch of 2019.

Yes, I realize we’re not even in the final quarter of the year. But we all know that the season of returning to school marks an inevitable acceleration in the passage of time. Days, weeks, and months just fly by from now on.

EoP Biodiversity Project

Before I forget, I want to remind you now (because tomorrow night – at least by the time I publish my post – will be too late) to take five minutes out of your day to engage the simple protocol of the Essence of Perelandra (EoP) Biodiversity Project, which I wrote about some ten days ago or so.

Hopefully you took advantage of the great deal Perelandra was offering several days ago that offered a discount on Essence of Perelandra. If any of you visited the Perelandra website and read the instructions for engaging in this protocol on the first day of every month, you would realize just how simple it is. It literally takes five minutes at the most. And yet it is energetically linking up with all the other people in the world who are engaging in the protocol on the 1stof the month.

After working with the Perelandra products for three decades, and witnessing the efficacy of Machaelle Small Wright’s work and communication with nature spirits and how these efforts hae translated into my life and experience, I urge you to give this a try. It’s a small step, a seemingly innocuous step; but sometimes the smallest can also be the most powerful. If you do this for Mother Earth, you never know what you will find yourself discovering for yourself.

Why I Write About This

I just want you to know that I am not receiving anything of value for my writing about Perelandra. I’m letting you know about this process, as well as the existence of Perelandra and its pretty fascinating history and uniqueness because it’s something that’s right underneath our noses that the vast majority of people have never even heard of. And since I have had the great fortune to work with these products (as well as have the support and encouragement to learn how to communicate with nature spirits), and have felt the benefit to my own health and well-being, I’m actually excited to be offering you an alternative to achieving and maintaining optimum health – as well as an incredibly unique connection with nature.

I care.

We CAN Do Something – Day 284

Posted on by Lisa Weikel Leave a comment

We CAN Do Something                 

I have a couple of subjects I was contemplating writing about tonight. That’s a rare occurrence, let me assure you. I just hope I remember what they were tomorrow!

But I realize there’s one thing I intended to write about last month, but let the time slip away until it was too late. I don’t want that to happen again this month, so I’m making it a priority tonight.

It’s In Our Faces

It’s probably all the more timely that I write this post tonight because it’s likely everyone has at least seen some of the photos and perhaps read an article or two on the astonishingly huge fires raging in the Amazon at the moment. This should be of global concern (and outrage), as the fires are so massive they can be seen from space. And it bears repeating that the Amazon rainforest acts as the lungs of our planet.

If Mother Earth’s lungs burn up, we die. And the speed of our demise is all the more accelerated by the double devastation wrought by the burning of the rainforests: (Wammy #1) Losing the rainforests means we lose all those trees that breathe in the carbon dioxide in our atmosphere (and in turn ‘exhale’ oxygen for us to breathe); and (Wammy #2) Beyond the loss described in Wammy #1, the actual burning of the trees creates more carbon being released into the atmosphere, thereby doubling the devastating effects on the world.

To make matters worse, the forest fires in the taiga of Siberia are also far worse this year than usual. Again, these raging, out of control forest fires are having a doubly devastating effect on the global environment.

One Unconventional Method of Addressing the Fires

One means of addressing these out of control, raging fires is via weather shamanism. I’ve linked that phrase to a wonderful book I’ve owned and read many times and refer to often. This practice is common and an essential aspect of a shaman’s duties to her or his community in Siberia. Wildfires in the taiga are not uncommon, often being sparked by lightning and dry or drought conditions. Shamans are routinely asked to step up and journey to the spirit of the fire to see if there is a message or a demand that can be met. Journeys are also often taken to the atmosphere, with efforts made to communicate with the essential natures of clouds and water vapor in the atmosphere.

The shamanic aspect of journeying to work with the spirits of these Beings can have profound effects, and I could probably write more on this subject.

Perelandra

But for now, I want to introduce you to an organization based in Virginia that is dedicated to working with the sentience that is Nature. It’s called Perelandra.

There’s a pretty amazing story of how (from very unlikely circumstances) Machaelle Small Wright discovered she could communicate with the devic realm, including Pan. Working in concert with Nature and her own Higher Self, she discovered she could not only co-create a physical environment that supported astonishing growth in a seemingly inhospitable environment (not unlike Findhorn, with whom she consulted and collaborated when first beginning this work some 40 years ago), but also work with these Beings to bring balance to human beings.

I am both grossly oversimplifying the story of Perelandra and simultaneously making it sound far more complicated than it is. There are short versions to be found on the website, and for those of you who, like me, enjoy memoir and learning in an author’s own words how they came to ‘be’ who they ‘are,’ she has written several books documenting her rather remarkable journey.

An Easier Way (If You Don’t Journey)

Just as I could wax on about weather shamanism, I could write a lot more about Perelandra and my experience with it beginning at least 30 years ago. (Man, I was busy discovering lots of cool stuff back in my 20s and 30s!) If you’re intrigued, I suggest you to go the website and poke around there.

I can assure you, I work with these essences every day. I also work with my MAP team, which you can also learn about on the website. (And maybe I’ll write about that sometime, too.)

But for right now? I’d like you to consider investing in a bottle of Essence of Perelandra (also known as EoP) so you can participate in the monthly EoP Biodiversity Project Machaelle just recently instituted. It is a very simple protocol that takes no more than five minutes – and only ten drops of EoP. The power of the process is magnified exponentially by the power of all of us working with Nature on the 1stday of each month.

Check It Out For Yourself

Click on some of the links I’m providing in this post and read about it for yourself. It’s a simple thing. But it is a tangible act you can take, joining with thousands of other people around the world, all in an effort to work with Nature to contribute to the overall health of the planet.

If you order EoP now, Perelandra is running a great sale on EoP. They want to encourage as many people as possible to participate. I feel extremely confident in the integrity of Machaelle Small Wright and Perelandra.

And I hope this gives you the opportunity to feel you are taking a tangible step to stop the insanity.

I’ll also wager you’ll find the astonishing variety of applications of Perelandra essences to be intriguing and very possibly holding the potential of dramatically improving your well-being.
