The Window in Now Wide Open
Horses Revisited
Spirit of Nature Product and Service Update
HELLO
EVERYONE:
Sometimes things just sneak up on you that
you didn’t expect. A great example is our readership.
I mention in several places on our websites that we have readers
in over 35 countries. It is a number I personally tracked
for a long time and then I turned everything over to Aweber
to host our newsletter and database. I haven’t thought
about the number of countries in a long time. Recently I was
checking statistics and information on Aweber. I decided to
run a report about subscribers and countries. I was shocked
and delighted at what I discovered. There are people from
over 80 countries now reading the newsletter. Wow. I had
no idea. Blessings to all of you!
It is a great honor to be the bringer of these
messeges.
May you be blessed in the radiance of the
One. May you find joy, inspiration, and upliftment in these
words.
Close your eyes for a moment. Take a few slow
deep breaths and center yourself. Allow your Higher Self and
guides to use this communication to assist you. Feel their
loving, joy-filled, healing energy being poured into you and
your world in this moment. Find something you are grateful
for. From that space, read these words and allow them to bless
both you and your life.
PRIORITIES by Takara
Sometimes you can get so caught up in the
details of daily life that you forget the bigger picture.
- Where
are you going?
- What
are you becoming?
- Are
you happy?
- What
brings you fulfillment?
- What
is your main mission?
- What
are you trying to accomplish?
I am a creator. So are you. Sometimes my creations
seem to take over my life and I seem to lose focus on what the
main goal is. Recently I decided something had to shift. I simply
had too many things underway - too many books being written,
too many new ideas being persued.
I came up with a way to prioritize. Everyone
I've shared this with has decided to do it for themselves. You
might consider the same.
I got out a stack of 3" x 5" blank
cards and on each one I wrote one project or idea that I'd been
working on. Small pieces of paper will work as well. Some are
things I've been doing for a long time such as Dancing Dolphin
Essences. Others were ideas I'd been thinking about but had
not taken any action on. I needed to get clear. I turned each
one face down on the table and spread them all out. The words
were written in pencil and now the cards were up side down.
So I couldn't read any of them. I moved them around so my logical
brain could not have any influence on the answers.
I had 3 basic questions I wanted answered.
- Which
of these projects has the greatest positive impact on humanity?
- Which
of these projects were my soul's purpose to accomplish?
- Which
of these projects would be the most financially rewarding
for me and my family?
Then I got out one of my pendulums. I began
with the impact on mankind question because it is the one that
matters most to me. I asked "Which of these projects has
the greatest beneficial impact on mankind?" I held the
pendulum over each card. It would indicate yes or no.There is
only 1 yes answer to this question. So I wrote "#1 most
beneficial to mankind" on the back of the card that tested
"yes". I didn't look to see what the project was.
I set that card aside and then asked, "Which has the next
greatest beneficial impact on mankind?" I continued a 3rd
time. So I had the #1, 2 and 3 projects that I'm pursuing that
benefit mankind. I still did not look at what was written on
the front of the card.
I put the cards back with the others and asked
the second question. "Which of these projects is my main
soul's purpose to accomplish?" Once I got the answer, I
asked the same way as above to get the 2nd and 3rd.
Finally I asked "Which of these projects
will offer the most financial reward for me and my family?"
And again I asked for the 2nd and 3rd as well.
I'm sure you aren't nearly as curious about
the answers as I was, but here they are:
The projects that I've been working on or contemplating
that offer the greatest positive impact for humanity are:
- The
book - The UnNatural Nature of Life
- Xooma
Xtreme X2O enhanced water
- Offering
Pendulums / Teaching Dowsing
The projects that I've been working on or contemplating
that are my soul's purpose to accomplish are:
- Roll-on
essences
- Essences
- Workshops
The projects that I've been working on or contemplating
that offer the greatest financial reward for me and my family
are:
- Xooma
Xtreme X2O
- Roll-on
essences
- Workshops
I knew it was time for me to get out there and
teach again. I just had no idea it was so significant. Teaching
is something that I dearly love and I used to win awards as
a corporate trainer. I've been in a little protective cocoon
since moving to New Mexico. I put motherhood, my personal evolution,
and writing first and have only taught on rare occasion since
Jes was born. Now that he is 7, it is time to begin again. You'll
be hearing more about my workshops very soon.
I was pretty surprised about the book being
the most important. I've had the title and the idea for several
years now. I've written almost nothing on it so far. I'll now
make that a top writing priority.
I am delighted to report that the roll-on essences
are now in production and available.
You read about Xtreme X2O in the previous newsletter.
We have been drinking it for less than 2 months and I've already
seen a radical improvement in my energy and hydration levels.
So what are your priorities? Have you thought
about it lately? What are you and the Universe co-creating together?
If you have dreams and goals and never seem
to be able to accomplish them, then I strongly encourage you
to purchase and use the technologies in Freeway
to Freedom. It is why I can take positive action and
receive positive results. I no longer have subconscious programs
running that sabatoge my health, my success, my relationships
or anything else. It truly is like being "free" from
bondage.
THE
WINDOW IS NOW WIDE OPEN by Takara
We just went through a huge gateway / opening
/ window of opportunity. How did you fare?
It was glorious on this end. Have you heard
of "March Madness?" It was a wild and wonderful ride
for sure. Beginning with the Lunar Eclipse, continuing with
the Spring Equinox, and completing at the total Solar Eclipse,
we have just traveled together through an amazing period of
time.
I thought the window was the powerful time and
things would slow down a bit after the solar eclipse energy
was complete. What I've now come to realize, is that the window
is now wide open and things are just continuing with such clarity
and speed it is mind boggling.
I've had amazing insight and synchronicity as
part of my experience for quite some time. But nothing comes
close to what has been occurring since the march window. We
may have solved one of the greatest dilemmas facing the human
race - the underlying cause and the potential cure for depression.
Now that is truly saying something. My friend Millie Stefani
and I were "tuning in" about a particular person in
order to assist them. This turned into a 3 hour intensive that
blew open the doors to how we look at this issue and every other
one. It is coming from a completely new perspective that I have
never heard about, or even contemplated, until that day. We
are "trying it out" on ourselves, the person we were
tuning in for, and a few others to see if the results are what
we think they will be. If it turns out to be effective, it will
definitely be part of the new workshops I'll be teaching. Please
don't write or call and ask about this. We are still in the
mode of understanding for ourselves. This may simply be a stepping
stone to the next level of understanding.
And that is just one powerful thing in a whole
list of powerful things that have occurred for me personally
since the beginning of March.
I created the "Essence of Camelot."
The essence was in sunlight and moonlight and it sat within
a powerful grid from the lunar eclipse through the solar eclipse.
It is a collaboration with well known musician Richard Shulman.
I also created the essence of numbers.
I now have essences carrying the vibrations of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, and 9. My good friend and well known numerologist,
Michael Brill, was here for a visit. He sat down and did the
numerology for each of my essences. That information will be
included in the descriptions very soon. And we discussed offering
a package deal where he does a numerology reading and I create
a custom blend for the person which includes the essence of
the main number 1 through 9 that they are working with. Once
we get the pricing and details worked out, it will be offered
on both our web sites.
HORSES
REVISITED by Takara
We are going to briefly depart from the 9 Fires
series in order to connect more fully with the essence of horse.
And yes I will be creating that essence at some point.
The image at the top of this newsletter is by
Jan Taylor. It is one of 52 images in Touched by a Horse - a
fabulous card deck by Melisa Pearce. (You can view the image
in the html and on-line versions of the newsletter.)
The message that accompanies this image is "No
Turning Back. As you have grown, developed, and deepened on
your life's journey, you have found yourself way down the trail
from where you started. You may have friends or people in your
life asking you to change back, to come back to where you once
were. The way you were back then was comfortable for them, they
did not need to grow or change to keep you or interact with
you. However, you have indeed grown and are moving onto new
ground, ready to soar to new heights. Looking back is reflective
for you. Some yearning or nostalgia to be expected. But trust
that the new higher ground upon which you are standing will
be reward in itself. Keep moving forward. There is no turning
back." (How appropriate this message is for each of us
after the March window of change.)
Meeting Melisa last year was just one step along
my horse journey. You don't think I just work with dolphins
and whales do you?
It began when I was a small child living in
Texas. We played cowboys and indians often. I always chose to
be an indian and my pretend horse was always a painted pony.
My mom is not really into animals so I felt lucky to even have
a dog. The connecting with horses idea would have to sit for
years unfulfilled.
When I first "woke up," I became an
avid student of Stuart Wilde. I devoured all of his books and
audio programs. His work is where I first learned to meditate.
In one of his audio guided meditations he has you ride off into
the sunset on a horse. It was glorious. I greatly enjoyed the
adventure each time I experienced it.
Stuart is a fairly crazy individual and has
often has people do fairly odd things. During one of the exercises
in his "Warriors in the Mist" workshops in northern
New Mexico, my group and I were taken to a van and then blindfolded.
We were told to remain in complete silence for the duration
of the journey. It seemed like we drove for hours. When we arrived,
still in silence and with blindfolds on, we were guided to a
location and told to stop walking. As we stood there, having
no idea whatsoever where we were or what we were about to do,
someone began saying the horse meditation. I was so overwhelmed
with emotion I thought I would collapse. We were about to do
the meditation for real.
Earlier in the week the same van had taken us
for a ride (again in silence, but no blindfolds) to an afternoon
trailride on horseback. I never wanted it to end. It was my
first real experience on a horse.
Now I found myself standing in anticipation
with tears streaming down my face. (I can be very pisces sometimes.)
I was not afraid. I was overcome with awe, gratitude, and wonder
at how something so wonderful was about to happen. Someone took
my arm and guided me up onto a wooden log. Then one hand was
placed on the horse's back and the other was placed on the mane.
I was helped up. There was no saddle or blanket - just me and
the horse and some mane to hold onto. When everyone was situated,
the meditation continued. When it was complete there was once
again silence except for the soft sound of the horse's hooves
hitting the ground as we began to move. I never once heard any
of the other horses or people. Nor did I hear any footsteps
or sounds coming from the person I later found out was guiding
my horse. In my experience of this event, this horse and I were
by ourselves heading off into some unknown direction. I had
no idea where we were, how far we would go, or when the horse
would stop. It was thrilling beyond all reason.
I guess that is when the horse thing really
anchored in. Before it had just been pretend. Now it was real
and I loved it. The ride ended and we were asked to remove our
blindfolds. We could stay on the horse if we wanted to. I continued
to relish the experience every second that I could.
Fast forward several years. I'm now married
to Raven and have a son. Twice we considered moving to a horse
ranch and twice it didn't work out. I was exceedingly disappointed
about the second one. Oh well. Perhaps it was to force me to
realize how very much I wanted to live near and be with horses.
Then I met Melisa Pearce last year. We agreed
that I would offer her Touched by a Horse cards through my web
site. It was never time until this newsletter. I called her
a few days ago to work out the details. I told her after I pulled
one of her cards that I was inspired to add the wings. She laughed
and said all their horses have wings. And her company logo has
winged horses. You can read more about my winged horse experience
in last year's article On
a Wing and Prayer.
Yesterday (the day this article was started)
I woke up at 4:30 a.m. with a feeling of anticipation that I
could not put my finger on. Whenever I make a flower essence,
I wake up at 4 a.m. and the flower I'm to make is in my mind.
I simply get out of bed and begin preparations. But yesterday
morning the only thing on my mind was horses. So I started writing
this article.
As I continued writing, I received a call from
my good friend, Tika Medcalf, who just moved into a new home
very close by that is surrounded by horse pastures. She was
sharing an incredible story about being deep in a meditation
and hearing "open your eyes." When she did, standing
in front of her were 3 horses looking straight at her through
the window. One was a newborn colt that had literally just been
born.
I was awestruck. Here I was writing a story
about horses and she is being greeting by a wide eyed, wobbly
legged new colt. I rushed over to guess what? I made that new
horse essence I mentioned in the first paragraph. I'm calling
it Winged Horses.
How very very fun life can be.
Raven has teamed up with Martina and Charlie
from Spirit Trail Adventures to offer one of the most powerful,
beautiful, and exhilerating experiences I've ever heard of -

Dates are Sunday through Thursday, August 6th through 10th.
The following weekend he is leading a 9 Fires Workshop at their

I finally decided to add the more esoteric
aspects of Dancing Dolphin Essences to the website. Visit
this link to discover how Dancing Dolphin Essences can assist
you in your evolution regardless of how high you fly vibrationally.
Be sure to check out the new "practitioner's advice"
that I have also included there. This is advice from stores
and practitioners about how they use specific Dancing Dolphin
Essences with their customers and clients.
Xtreme X2O Enhanced
Water:
I strongly encourage you to check out the link
for Xooma. I asked the universe for extra funding for all the
projects I’ve got going and Xooma Xtreme X2O showed up.
My body simply loves this enhanced water. What
I've noticed in just a short time of drinking Xtreme X2O once
each day:
- The
tiny little dry lines around my eyes are disappearing,
- I’m
not out of breath after sprinting somewhere,
- Little
aches and pains have subsided,
- My
hypoglycemic tendency has calmed down – my body isn’t
getting really frantic if I haven’t eaten, and
- Not
so good for you foods no longer taste good.
Most of the people who read this newsletter
are interested in personal and spiritual growth. One of the
benefits of X2O is that it reduces the resistence in the electrical
system within the body. That means that the signals sent from
the brain through the nerves happen more rapidly and effectively.
And I personally believe it also means that the energy body,
the chakras, and the connection to higher realms also have less
resistence and work more efficiently. I believe that if a person
drinks X2O daily, then anything they are doing energetically
- meditation, Reiki, flower essences, etc. will be more effective
for them. I have no way to prove that, it is simply the intuitive
hit I get about it.
If you want to improve or maintain your own
health, I've never found a more beneficial product at such a
reasonable price. If you would like additional income or want
to assist others in improving their health, it is a very good
opportunity. Everyone drinks water, so it is a exceedingly easy
to share with others. Get an 18
page pdf file that describes the various benefits of X2O.

Private Sessions:
I have decided to focus on teaching and technology
- my primary interests. I will no longer be offering private
consulting sessions in person or by phone except as an extension
of a workshop being given. I WILL continue to work with previous
clients as needs arise and I WILL continue to do long distance
energy sessions with the Seed of Divine Restoration and
the further processes.
"The evening of (The Seed of Divine Restoration
Long Distance Energy Session) . . . clearly felt tingling up
the entire spinal column and then immediately received a counter
clockwise spiraling energy into my third eye....I have never
experienced this vivid imagery of spiral energy before. I also
felt your presence clearly and saw your energy essence as brilliant
white and pale blue light streaming. It's really difficult to
explain with words! In the days since, I have often had this
same energy flow over me with persistence...not too sure how
else to describe it. I am experiencing powerful shifts, daily.
It's really quite incredible! . . . until I read it in one of
your testimonials, I forgot to mention that I also experienced
this 'wave rolling over and through me' action immediately upon
my settling into the meditation for the Seed of Divine Restoration.
'THIS' is what my soul has been yearning for. I honor
you for the energy you carry and share Takara." - Amber,
Castlegar, British Columbia
For those interested in extraordinary private
consulting/energy work - 1 to 2 hours on the phone discussing/solving
issues, the person I most highly recommend is Millie Stefani.
Her phone number is 505-662-7246. She is who I turn to when
I feel stuck. She is the only person Raven highly recommends.
It is a great honor to call her friend.
"For over 20 years, Millie's keen intuition
and healing abilities have been assisting me to uncover many
layers of myself - to clear at the cellular level and to develop
spiritually far beyond what I could possibly have accomplished
otherwise. I have also seen what her work has done for many
other people." - Barbara Rawles, Livermore CA
"After over 3 years of trying everything
from mainstream medicine to off-the-road health practicioners
(of every sort) I was finally able to find a solution for my
relentless and debilitating fatique. I was nearly at the end
of my frayed emotional and physical rope. Millie Stefani was
the only person able to determine that my restricted vegan diet
was doing more harm than good for my body. Not only did she
help guide me back to physical wellness, but with her phenomonal
spritual attunement, we journeyed together to heal and release
spiritual restrictions as well. She didn't tell me what I needed,
we found the answers together. With Millie Stefani as my guide,
I was able to experience myself as a spiritual being. I saw
it. I felt it. I know it. I am it." - Jacqui

"Hi
Takara, Many many thanks for your emails, i really do enjoy reading them.
I love the connection I now have with "like minded" "spiritual
family" Living in Zimbabwe is not easy these days and your newsletters
and emails really help to lift me up. I really love the connection with
the dolphins too. I was really fortunate to have had the privilege of
swimming with Fungi in Ireland in 1996, and visits with the dolphins in
Australia, but my best times are in my dreams and meditations."
- Rae, Zimbabwe
"Dear Takara:
Thanks very much for your blessing. It's wonderful receive your mail.
I reach your site from the hand of Da Vid. Best Wishes from Buenos Aires."
- Aristides
Hi Takara, As always,
this issue was time precise for me. My partner and I just started a sports
photography business, are in the midst of our first busy summer season,
are extremely cash poor currently, and last Friday I accidently dropped
our only camera. We are told that repairs could take 8-10 weeks, rendering
us unable to shoot cycling events we are booked to cover. My partner tells
me I must surrender. I don't understand his analysis. After reading "On
a Wing and a Prayer" I understand. Thank you so much."
-ehmaya
"Many
thanks for the wonderful newsletters! I truly enjoy the love and info
you bring forth to help us all! abundant blessings to you and raven,"
- Hileah, Hawaii
"Dear
sweet lovely Takara - How I enjoyed this issue! . . . thank you so much
for your wonderful words of love, support and wisdom. You certainly lifted
my spirits today! You are truly in the light."
- Kathryn Howard, Lifestyle Mentor, Florida
"Hi Takara, THANK YOU, THANK
YOU, THANK YOU, for your piece on "finding happiness." It is
so timely, and well-written. Big hugs."
- Joy Linsley, Chicago, Illinois
"The past few days I've had
a lot of gratitude for the support that I have been availed of over the
years. I'm especially appreciative when I find a consistent source
of quality information such as you provide. So even though you haven't
seen any direct results of assisting me please know that your information
has been immensely helpful.
