Soul Surfing with Marci Anderson

On Sunday, Marci Anderson performed her soul healing ritual with me in the morning. It was an interesting event, full of very subtle symbols and sharing.  Before the event, we had two animal symbols arrive — a merlin and a deer.

The merlin made a clever symbol for Marci’s guru — Kaleshwar — who she describes as a magician, one of those gurus who always has a sparkle in his eye and an impish grin.  We were both enjoying that symbol and feeling his presence.I felt that the deer made another double entendre because Marci is a dear.  She was interested in their direction of travel, and felt that their similar west to north movement was significant of spiritual improvement.

Marci had me lay with my head to the east, while she stood facing north, which apparently opens chakras to receiving the healing.  Then she did about 20 minutes of mantras into energy centers of my body.  The mantras were silent and she did not share with me the words because her personal mantra (which her guru says is private) was part of them.  Head, feet, abdomen, under the knees, all received these mantras. As she worked, I felt those parts get quite light, and my knees even felt like they were floating.

I concentrated on my own mantra — receive — while she worked, because that was definitely my intent.  As we both did our mantras, there were only 3 sounds to interrupt the quiet country day.  A dog barked when she began (which she did not notice, and which is actually quite rare for us, given that our neighbors’ dogs don’t randomly bark as in some places).  The dog bark, the plane going overhead, and the dishwasher kicking into rinse mode all served at appropriate times to help me return to my own mantra.  Marci felt that they were wake up reminders from spirit to help us as well.

Afterward, we both sat down to discuss the experience, as a wave of peace washed over me, and I listened intently to Marci’s intentions for the healing.  Her guru explained that this healing, which is only performed by those to whom he has given direct instruction and passing of the process, is very energizing in clearing that path toward peace and enlightenment.  It is designed to open the individual to moving forward on their own path.

I reminded Marci that while the mantra she gave me did increase the peace in my life, it was tumultuous in its daily tests of peace — with small family disasters happening daily.  This made me nervous, since we are already dealing with health issues with the children and I would hate to bring more in.  She felt that rather, this session would help me to complete open projects and get them going in their movements toward completion. We both felt that Kaleshwar’s work helps us both to “surf” the daily problems and rise above them to invoke peace and love in all our interactions on the planet.

I will let you know how this unfolds, at this moment, I do feel as though I could surf just about any waves heading this way, while praying for ease in life so that that resolve is not tested too deeply.

A Shawl for Liz

My latest achievement — a crocheted shawl for my friend, Elizabeth.  I got the pattern at the knitting bee in bethany. Here’s a similar free pattern from my new favorite site, Ravelry.com, which is full of free patterns for crochet.  I used a noro silk/kid mohair/wool/nylon blend.

Since I am having a nice Jupiter aspect, I thought I would share it and for each shell, I did a lengthy Jupiter mantra taught to me by Susan Holmstrom, a devotee of Kriyananda. Supposedly, doing 1000 will bring great expansion — yippee!

Crochet Mantras

The first pair of socks I have crocheted that look decent!  Yippee!

The first pair of socks I have crocheted that look decent! Yippee!

When I was about 12, my grandmother showed me how to crochet.  I enjoyed the motion and repetition of the stitching, and have taken the handicraft back up again over the Christmas break. I still enjoy the repetition, but have added mantra to the process, just to put a little more “juice” into them.  Inspired to make gifts for those I love, this pair of socks is the third i have made AND, the stitches are even enough for me to feel comfortable posting a picture.  This pair was mantra’d with “Om tessraim raksha mam” and goes to Aunt Mary!
