Hi everyone, how are things in your life?
As far as I can tell, everyone I know is seriously challenged.

There is a lot of talk about ‘recovery’ and ‘investment packages’ by the governments of the world.

But is that really what we want?

For it to go back to how it was?… as a global culture over the last fifty years we have been using up natural resources at an astronomical rate!
That’s what’s really happening.

We have come to a point of global reckoning …
I believe that’s what’s reflected from this economic meltdown… We would not change our ways unless we hit the wall like this as a planet!  Unless you are ready to join the military, there may be no job security in the future….yikes!

And the promotion for the military is all over the media….
It’s a new world — forcing us all into a new perception and that’s not such a bad thing.

It’s time to give up the idea of redundant, disposable living!

That’s a way of seeing resources as endless,  so there is no need to be conservative or respectful of  those you are using. This is a frequency of being that has permeated our world to the extent that we do this to our old people as much as our old cars….

We live in a world dedicated to obsolescence in order to stimulate industry and we cannot keep doing this anymore!

My jewelry falls into the category of a luxury item, however I would like you to know we make our jewelry in very conservative, respectful way.

We are very conscious of our carbon footprint and I am proud of my team for their loving, caring energy that goes into every part of the production and distribution of my pieces.

Each piece is designed to rejuvenate your energy, inspire your spirit and remind you in hard times that you are really a Queen or King in service to your people.

Every conscious person on earth has to be diligent. We have all been lulled into the idea of comfort and convenience being our primary agenda when life is so much more.

Life must be full of other things like  passion, creativity, adventure, evolution…

None of these pursuits are particularly comfortable or convenient but they are the essence of a healthy life.

Perhaps this is why people are so depressed?
They are comfortable and isolated…

Unsupported in their creativity or in expressing their passionate soul.

My jewelry is an activator…
Designed to support you through these difficult days.

I love you and I believe in you… As I believe in myself and our common destiny as healers of the earth.

I am proud to be part of the generation that will usher in a new world consciousness of love and respect for our beloved Mother Earth.

The intent for change I expressed on New Years’ Eve seems to be bearing fruit already!
My intent is to change my patterns of my behavior so that I may expect something different (perhaps a miracle?) in my future, rather than rehashing the why’s ,how’s,and who’s of the past. I want to bypass all of the boring conversation and just get on with it!

Sooo…I accepted an invitation to awaken very early and travel to the other side of the island!

Why?

To perform the ceremony and invocation opening the New Year -Full Moon energy of the Ecstatic Dance Group (about 200 people  arrived for the opening-gasp!) Believe me when I say, this was breaking my patterns – I am nocturnal to the extreme. I usually perform ceremony at night, not mid-morning, after a 2 hour drive!

The outcome of meeting this challenge head-on and disciplining the voice of my indulged inner child that wanted to stay in bed because “I don’t do daytime ceremonies….I am useless in the daylight-why did I agree to such a challenging activity-I must be crazy!”
Ignoring those complaining voices in my head I made the journey with grace, supported by my two wonderful escorts Donny and Kirk from Crystal Expansion.com, who came to share our Christmas/New Year celebrations at the Mystery School in Hawaii, from San Francisco.

The Celebration  and Invocation were a great success at the Ecstatic Dance Venue by the ocean,surrounded by the scents and colors of the Hawaiian Spirit of Aloha (sharing our Ha- Breath), triggered something new inside my own soul.
I consciously felt a shift in my own energy and my destiny path became a little clearer and easier to comprehend.

Change creates Opportunity-it’s up to us to qualify the change and the opportunity in our life and act upon it in service to the Earth. From this new place of being we perceive in a new way. We are aligned in a new field of energy that consequently attracts new experience.

Yesterday upon our return from this unconventional date with Destiny, the evidence was immediate that things had changed for the better. There was along list of phone calls from people offering their support for the Mystery School. (I have often felt burdened and overwhelmed by the isolation of my role and my strong sense of duty and loyalty will never let me quit….so, suddenly people are offering to help!

The final wild,amazing moment of this day of change came just before midnight. A knock at the door is a rare thing out here on the Lava Desert at the end of the Universe….
It was my favorite musician, who struggles constantly with self-loathing, and that tragic pattern of today’s disenfranchised youth who live by the code of

“Poor Me…F@#k You.”

He had come to apologize…a very rare and amazing evolution…something I thought would never happen! Now we can play together again and open up to anew level of creative expression.

Change your personal patterns (what you put out there in the world that represents you) and be ready to deserve to be heard, you deserve to be supported, and you deserve to feel loved. Yes, yes, yes!!!

Hi Everyone,

We are all living through an extraordinary time in history. There is no denying it now!
I have been working on a mosaic floor for the front veranda of the Mystery School in Hawaii. I found a beautiful soft green tile  with silver streaks through it when I was last in Bali. I had it cut into dolphins especially for this project.

The world is spinning and seems to be spiraling into a cashless vacuum, I wonder where it all went? As I am working on the mosaic I find it very relaxing, it is a functional art form that allows for almost immediate reward for effort. For the this reason it makes me feel less frustrated at my own powerlessness as the world comes to terms with what is happening.

I was working on my mosaic tonight with the fire burning in the round. The fire pit surrounded by the twelve wise Fire Turtles who stand guard at the front of the school, thinking about this situation…..

We live in a closed circuit world! All the gold that was ever dug up from the earth is still here! It didn’t evaporate! All the silver that was ever mined is still on the earth. All the money in circulation…. None of this was shot off into space! Its all here on the earth, held in stockpiles by old family executors, in ancient secret stashed across the globe, from Zurich to Scotland to China….. And a million other places.

So I would like to say to you, the holders of these great stores of wealth that have been taken out of circulation in service to the common man and put into some investment that simply produces more paper rather than more jobs…. Congratulations! You have it all!

Now what?

I read some data recently and it struck me as sad…. The whole wealth of the USA is divided like this:

1% of the US population owns 70% of the wealth. Of the remainder 8%is owned by the Saudis. The remaining 22% is shared amongst the other 99% of the population. The most interesting statistic is that 20% of US citizens THINK they are in the 1%. !!! *smile*
I have just been in Bali designing my new collection. I was deeply absorbed in my work when I got the news that Obama had won the vote to become the next President of the US. The energy shift in the consciousness of the world that night was profound. I could feel it in the air, a kind of certainty of change for the better! A sense of excitement and hope….. Trust in the future… Be here now.

Be in joy, find your center, breathe, it is time to invest wisely in things that bring joy, peace and help sustain a true sense of self worth. This is the energy that came to me as I was designing, on the banks of a sacred river, deep in the rice fields of Bali….
I am here now in the Lava Desert of the Big Island, expressing my creativity in a different way. Sending lightness and love, wonder and the divine right for curiosity.
It is time for me to come out of my cave and share my gifts with the world… Don’t you feel like that?

I do!

Its time to stop taking it personally and step up to our destiny path with courage and strength. Perseverance and clear perception, I pray we may all be blessed with gifts that allow for wisdom to rise above ignorance.

Its time to get a voice and speak your piece. Let me know what you think, how you are handling things and which of my pieces inspires you the most and why!

Blazing Tales of Wonder, remembering all we have ever been and are about to become your sister through chaos and comfort Shankari xxx

I am sick of always feeling responsible for the pain of others and the guilt for being happy and caring and willing to make a difference.

I have recently come to terms with the fact that I was raised in the energy of the victim. I was responsible for my mothers unhappiness ( I believed if I was good enough perhaps she would be happy ) in this energy its hard to be happy so I separated myself a lot. I spent afternoons after school singing by myself in the local Catholic church. It was wonderful, like entering a foreign country where I was only a visitor, I was raised Church of England so the Catholic world was deeply foreign ( according to my Sunday school teacher ).
As I grew older I traveled further afield, walking the length of the giant water pipeline that ran miles and miles through the bush….. I never made it to the end, I had pretty short legs.

In this life I am sure I have done my service and it is time to step up to the next level of being where it is possible to be joyful all the time and not feel guilty because others choose to suffer.

“The world is full of challenges. The way to overcome them is to grow up and past the pain.”

Come into present time and be joyful for what is happening now. That’s the trick. Be here now and look around with appreciation at the beauty and wonder of the world and everyone in it.

• Why do some people have all the looks but never seem to get the breaks?
• How come some people are not that glamorous but have an amazing ability to attract wealth and beautiful people around them?

Self Pity ….. There is no more dangerous material on earth! If you want success in your life. You must be prepared to surrender the need for self pity and move into the energy of the hero!

You may wish to percieve this in terms of the victim or the victor! The victor experiences victory over the challenges they face for as long as they do not indulge themselves in self pity!

Because…

Self pity is the food of the victim!

My mother was deaf and as an outcome she approached her life in a more philosophical way than most women of her times. She constantly reminded us that God would not give anyone a job they couldn’t do if they really tried their best.

I believe she had a difficult life and as a result of her personal experience she brought a great deal of authority to our experience of life. She always said to us….. “All care will be shown but no sympathy!”

Sympathy is for wimps that want to be reminded of their weakness….. Instead you should show compassion which is the belief in their ability to overcome and succeed against the odds!
There is no more time for self pity. There is only time for action!

Action is the solution to self pity!

Taking action in service to your success and in celebration of your unique gifts for the world.

Go and do it now! Yes yes yes!

Is money your friend? Most people see money through very emotionally tinted eyes. Your core underlying beliefs are really your parent’s core beliefs this mechanism of survival is not often a path of abundance.

The way your parents felt about money is one of your underlying core beliefs that may be destroying your potential for financial success.

Discover your true relationship with money and adjust it to where it is in your true service. Not simply playing out the old patterns constantly “making yourself right,” that there’s not enough……. Time, space or money …… To keep you safe, give you rest or bring you true love. In fact it is not money that provides you with these things. This is the grand illusion of our life and times.

In all circumstances it is your ability to create and sustain good relationships with people, places and objects that determines your ultimate success and power to survive against the odds. The key is in retaining custody of your emotional body rather than allowing it to rule your every waking moment!

True power lies in your ability to adapt to new circumstances while being creative with the resources you have rather than complaining about what you don’t have.

Wealth is a frequency of Being. Love yourself enough to learn how to bring yourself to balance and stay flexible and strong under pressure. True wealth and freedom are experienced only when you are in a balance. Blessings from the winds of Hawaii Shankari xx

Music is a powerful force upon the earth. From the Russian Masters and their military meddles to the current form of modern popular music.
Music unites people and activates new brain frequencies in the listener as well as the musician. Music brings people together and soothes the troubled soul. Find your way to make music! Whoever you are and whatever you do, music will enrich your life.

Music goes beyond language, politics and economics. Music is the international language of understanding. I welcome all musicians into the energy of the Mystery School in Hawaii. We are planning a wide and diverse music department.

Great music comes from the heart and is a healing force across the planet…. Just listen to the lyrics of the Beatles! All you need is love! Blessings from the sunshine of Hawaii S xx

There are lots of very successful ways to address healing your emotional body and bringing all your bodies into alignment. The main factor is you must first and foremost WANT to heal it rather than wallow around it whilst saying to your self and others, “its not there and I’m not wallowing!”

The decision that you are worthy of a better life with more joy and less suffering has to come from deep within your Being. You must create a vision of your future and move towards it steadfastly. What do you deserve? What will you do to create your dreams? How much of the “victim within you” will you need to heal in order to begin creating your future success.

Its all in your hands! No matter how resentful you feel and how much blame you can assign to others for past events. Your next moment and your entire future is in your hands and no one elses. It’s up to you to decide what you are willing to commit to in the name of your personal evolution.

Learning to love your self is the greatest gift you can give your self. Accept all that you have been in order to be who you are now.

This is no simple feat when our life and the winds of change shape and bend us. We are challenged to keep growing up. To remain flexible within the midst of our experiences all the while staying grounded is the key.

Learn to love and accept the shape of your life and perhaps even more importantly the shape of your body. Love your self as you are so that you may continue to grow up and towards your true destiny.

I photographed this tree today. From my observation this tree as experienced considerable winds while it has grown tall.

Be as you are, accept your contures, curves and shapes. Reach for the sky! Aspiration is your birthright!
