MYSTIC TRADITIONS: THE MAGICAL FAIRY MEADOW


News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch:
 

Denise is excited since her friend’s goats have given birth, and she is going to add some baby goats to her own herd!  Of course, she wants them to bond with their mothers until they’re weaned and then they can come over to Denise and bond with her for love, not food.

The Fairy Realm:

There is a wonderful, profound connection between us and the fairy realm that is necessary for igniting magic in our world; for igniting enchanted, creative, mystical energy.  It adds a potency to our plants and flowers to have fairies there.

The fairy presence:

· Outside in nature, sometimes there’s a flickering light or a shadowy face in the tree – often those are fairies.  Or sometimes there is a breeze and you feel you can hear voices in the wind.  This may be a fairy.  A tinkling that seems to sound like a little silver bell can indicate a fairy.  If you get goosebumps or feel that someone’s walked behind you, you may be sensing a fairy.  One of the common ways is through smell, eg. you’re outdoors and smell roses but there are no roses in the area.
· Denise came up with Meadow’s name when she and David were in Golden Gate Park and she sensed fairies in a section of a park that looked like a meadow.
· When Denise lived in Seattle, she would visit a friend who lived in an expensive home in a conglomerate of such houses.  Denise never understood why she would have a sense of something being missing or not right when she visited.  She later learned that the homeowners were forced to spray their property 4 times a year with toxic chemicals/pesticides – this eliminated the fairy presence.

Fairy facts:

· In every ancient and native culture, there are descriptions of fairies – people have seen, talked to, sometimes even feared fairies.
· There seems to have been a time when we had a deeper connection and communion with fairies, but with industrialization, and over time with moving into the paternalistic society rather than the maternalistic society, this changed.
· When you connect to the realm of fairies, the fruit on your trees will taste sweeter and your crops will be healthier and impact your cells in a more powerful way.  This happens because when you connect to the fairy realm, that fairy realm begins to expand and it connects to the Spirit of your plants and trees.  In doing that, it elicits a life force energy, and that life force energy will impact your body.
· When you use a lot of pesticides, the fairy realm retreats – there is disharmony with that.

To connect with the fairy realm:

· Springtime is an especially wonderful time to connect with the fairies.
· Pick a day when you’re not busy and spend some time in nature.  Before you go out into nature, eat lightly – there is much more chance of finding a vibrational harmony if you’ve eaten living, organic foods (like raw veg) because the energy of the food goes into you and becomes a vibration.  If you’ve eaten a hamburger, there won’t be a vibrational attraction.
· Eat a flower if you can – nibble on a rose petal or nasturtiums or have a salad with flowers in it.  You can eat any kind of flower, but roses especially activate that vibration that is more to the vibration of the fairy realm.
· We seem to have almost lost that ability to connect with other realms because we tend to isolate ourselves from nature and our lives move so fast.
· Drink a lot of fluids.  In any spiritual pursuit, the fluids help to hydrate the cells in one’s body, making them function optimally.  There is a correspondence with your spiritual attunement – it’s much easier to travel across dimensions when you’re hydrated.  If possible, drink spring water rather than tap water, especially if it has been bottled at source.
· If possible, wear clothes that have been washed in a natural, unscented detergent, not a perfumed detergent.
· Consider putting some essential oils on your skin/body – something that the fairies are attuned to, like plant or flower essential oils, flower essential oils are better, eg.  rose, lavender.
· Although you can connect with the fairy dimension even indoors in the city, if you want to sense/feel them, it is necessary to go out in nature (especially in a natural/wild environment).
· As you approach the area, ask permission – “I’d like to connect with you.  Is it alright to approach?”  Wait to get a yes (you’ll know if it is a yes).  You may get a no – perhaps it isn’t the right day or these aren’t the right fairies (some fairies aren’t very trusting).
· After you get a yes, walk slowly.  Take in everything – the smells, the sights, the feeling, the earth.  Keep your awareness expanded.
· Once you find the area you’re going to sit/be still, you can ask permission again – “Is it alright to enter into this area?”  If it’s a no, don’t enter the area.
· Presuming that you get permission to enter into the area you’ve chosen, if there is anything there that is edible, put it in your mouth (NB. Make sure you know that it IS edible first!) eg. pine needle or rose petal.  This creates a vibrational shift inside you so that you are attuned to that area.  If nothing seems edible, hold something from the area in your hand.
· Find a spot to sit.  You’re going to enter into a sort of meditation where your eyes are half open/half closed – you’re getting out of your conscious mind and your eyes have a different focus (much like when you’re looking at a 3-D pattern to find the hidden picture in it).  Be still and say to yourself or even out loud:  “I invite you.  Please come.”

Other ways to invite the fairies:

· If it is a still day (not windy) and you’re able to go to a pond out in nature, take wind-chimes and sit by the water, ringing the chimes over the pond.  Often, bubbles will start to rise and the water will start to ripple – it’s almost as if the song of the chimes is calling the Water Spirits/water fairies to the air.  The chimes can also invite the Air Spirits to come if you do it with the intention of opening the gateway to the fairies.
· Fairies like songs and music.  If you can play the flute and you do it with a full heart, they love that.  You can even sing or hum to invite the fairies

If you want fairies in your garden:

· Leave one area wild where whatever decides to grow there is able to grow (this can even be a very small area)
· It is traditional to leave offerings for the fairies, so consider this – it can be fruit, hair or shiny things (fairies like shiny things, eg. crystals)
· Have shiny, sparkly things in you’re your garden like wind-chimes that bring movement and sparkles – this tends to attract fairies.  It also makes the area feel a little more magical

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

“The more you think about fairies, the more you focus on them, this almost programs your brain to begin to recognize them.”

MYSTIC TRADITIONS: DOLPHINS OF ATLANTIS


News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch:

Denise finally discovered why Sadie (her dog) has an axe to grind with the vultures – when Denise and David give Sadie a bone, she buries it.  Thereafter, the vultures find and take Sadie’s bone, which upsets her to no end!!

Atlantis, dolphins and energy:

There is an inner weaving between the energy of dolphins and the energy of Atlantis.  These 2 energies are very deeply affecting all of us.

Atlantis chronicled through history:

· Plato talked about Atlantis, saying that Atlantis was a naval power laying in front of the pillars of Hercules – he talked about Atlantis conquering many parts of Western Europe and Africa 9000 years before.
· Throughout history, many historians and philosophers talked about Atlantis – a mysterious civilization so advanced and with many specialities.
· The Jewish philosopher of the 1st Century, Philo wrote:  “And the island of Atlantis which was greater than Africa and Asia, in one day and night, was overwhelmed beneath the sea in consequence of an extraordinary earthquake and inundation and suddenly disappeared, becoming sea….”
· Isaac  Newton in 1728 AD, in his book, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, talked about Atlantis
· In the 1800’s, Madame Blavatsky called the Atlantians cultural heroes and referred to them as the “root race”.
· Rudolph Steiner, an amazing metaphysician and humanitarian, talked about a cultural evolution in Atlantis.  He and Madame Blavatsky both talked about the overuse and misuse of magical powers that led to Atlantis’ destruction.
· Edgar Cayce, in 1923, spoke about Atlantis rising again.
· In 2011, there was a team working on a documentary for the National Geographic Channel – the team was led by a professor from the University of Hartford.  They were in South Spain (the Andalusia area), and they felt that they had discovered Atlantis.

What does all this mean for us?

· There is a lot of conflicting speculation about where in the world Atlantis was located, or even if it did indeed exist in our world. 
· Denise’s view is that this doesn’t matter – even if Atlantis existed in another realm/dimension, there is still an Atlantean energy present in the collective consciousness. 
· Many times when Denise has done past life regressions with people, there are many individuals who have memories of Atlantis, and even more astounding is that there are similarities in all these individual people’s memories.   The important thing here is that in Atlantis, there was a profound understanding of energy, and of using the will to magnify and create results, and also of using crystals as magnifiers.  Crystals could be used to magnify intent and also for levitation.  In many ways, the energy we have now is so similar to that time.
· In 1968 and 1969, a tumultuous time, hippies actually transformed our word by exploring psychic perception, crystals and telepathy, and making these concepts mainstream. At this time, computer technology was also developing using crystal technology.  Our world of technology thus uses the same type of energy as in Atlantis, eg. the mass communication system that we have through the internet is propelled by crystal technology. 
· Many people who talk about having a past life as an Atlantean (people over the years whom Denise has regressed), have had careers presently involved with computers.

You may have had a past life in Atlantis if:

  1. You are fascinated with crystals
  2. You spend a lot of time on a computer or if you work with computers
  3. You have the feeling that something eminent is about to happen, something not good, a collapse of society as we know it and you feel that it is necessary for you to do something about it – you almost feel responsible
 The dolphin connection:

· During these last few decades there has been an increase in interest in dolphins; a connection to dolphins.  It was often connected in historical accounts of Atlantis – the dolphins seemed to be the carrier of that energy. 
· The great civilization of Atlantis was destroyed, but that energy seems to be encoded in dolphins and through that dolphin energy we can tap into the positive energy of Atlantis.  Dolphins have an amazing telepathic ability, and as you tap into that dolphin energy, it increases your own telepathic ability and connects you to that Atlantean energy.  One of the abilities of Atlanteans was to magnetize (ie, the law of attraction) because of the understanding of will, telepathy and the magnification qualities of crystals.  So by connecting to dolphin energy, it also activates intuition and a deep and profound compassion within you.
· If you’re in an area where there are dolphins, whales and other sea creatures, you can simply talk/connect to the Spirit of the sea and say that you would appreciate any gift given to you while you are there.
· You can also put out the call to connect with that dolphin energy wherever you are, even at home.

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

“If you have a bad dream, go back into it and give it a different outcome.  This impacts you psychologically and emotionally, and it will make a difference in your waking life because a part of us does not recognize what is real.”

MYSTIC TRADITIONS: THE SACRED CRYSTAL CAVE


News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch:
  
It is a rainy day in Paso Robles, California.  Denise’s goats do not enjoy the rain.  They’re not particularly fond of the wooden enclosures that David, Denise’s husband, built especially for them to have shelter in this type of weather – they’re rather drawn to the plastic dog houses.  And since they seem to enjoy being together, they all get into one dog house!!


Our reality and other dimensions:

· It is so easy to get caught up in this reality and to think that this collectively shared reality that we’re in is the only reality.   In truth it is only one station in that great radio station of Spirit. 
· There are dimensions co-existing with our dimension, and they are just as real. 
· There are times when there is a thinning of the veil between one reality and the next.  When that happens, you can step beyond this reality into another realm/dimension.  Denise’s intent today is to co-create a thinning of the veil and if you so choose, you can step into those other realms.  There is value to do that, as a soul, because it expands your being, your parameter; it loosens the hold that your identity has on you. 
· One often associates one’s identity with accomplishments, possessions and similar things, but once you take that step you discover that you’re infinite, immortal, eternal and universal. 
· The form that you occupy is only one perception of the vast universe that you are.

Wisdom from Denise’s mystical experiences:

· Listen to this show to find out how Denise discovered her Spirit name of “White Feather” and also about the mystical things, including a time warp, during Denise’s time in Bali.  She shares this to illustrate the fact that there is a direct connection between you and the Creator/Spirit.  It’s simply a matter of opening your heart/believing it is real. 
· During this time in Bali, Denise received a physical affirmation that said that things are not as they seem; that there is a Realm of Spirit; that you can interface with Spirit.  There is a reason and purpose for your life.  There are Guides from the Realm of Spirit working with you.

Mystical experiences and caves:

There is a reason that many mystical traditions happen in caves – when you are in a cave, you are in the womb of the earth.  You are in the womb of that pulsating, rhythmic, passionate, living energy of the earth.

Denise had a mystical experience while she was in Australia learning from the Aborigines - in a cave which went down into the earth, she shape-shifted into a lizard.  When she arrived home, an acquaintance told Denise about a dream she had had about being in this same cave and shape-shifting into a panther.  Although this woman had only had a dream, her hands and feet were raw and oozing when she woke up, and the dream had occurred at exactly the same time as when Denise had her cave experience.  It seems to Denise that the woman had on some level, stepped through that veil and they merged and melded for a while.

The overlapping of realities and the value of this:

In the Inner Realms, there is no separation between us; in the Inner Realms it is simply a matter of intent – you can travel from one dimension to another with ease.  It allows your farthest horizons to expand.  When this occurs, you can expand those horizons in this reality, and your ability to manifest and create becomes even deeper and more profound.

There are times when our reality and other realities overlap, eg. someone talks about seeing an alien.  As you begin to explore other dimensions and these overlapping realities, it opens the door.

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

· “In Bali, there is a mystical energy in the land and the air, and the water.  It’s harder in the West because the veil is thicker and deeper, because the collective unconsciousness is attached so deeply to this reality.”

· “It is true there is a reason for your life.  It’s true there is a purpose for your life.  It is true that there are those in the Realm of Spirit working with you, supporting you, loving you, honouring you.  It is true that the experiences of your life, whether you like them or dislike them, were absolutely a part of your destiny, were absolutely necessary for you to become who you are.  It is true that you can stop and that you can step beyond this realm into the next.”

JOYOUS, SPARKLING CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM: DAMN, I’M GOOD!

News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch:

Denise and her daughter, Meadow, are working on the book they’re writing together (this book is about the sacredness of food).  They’ve been working furiously since their deadline is fast approaching.  However, Denise still has time to show her wonderful sense of humour – such as when David mistook a piece of plastic in the kitchen for a dead mouse! 

The “Damn, I’m good!” mantra:

· To increase your confidence, for the next week, embrace what is by doing this mantra/affirmation:  “Damn, I’m good!” 
· Say it with expression, passion and real meaning.  Celebrate all your thoughts, feelings and actions with this mantra. 
· What you focus on expands, and the more you celebrate what’s great about your life right now, the more these things will expand.
· Scan your last 24hrs and think about situations where you can apply this mantra.  If you can’t find anything, it is not a reflection of the state of your life, but a reflection of your ability to step into what is good/great.
· There is always something great.  Forty percent of people in the world don’t have running water, toilet facilities, or even clean water.
· If you do this for the next 7 days, it will change your life.

JOYOUS, SPARKLING CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM: THE IMPORTANCE OF WHO YOU HANG WITH


News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch:

There has been a drought in the Paso Robles area and finally there has been some rain.  While this was a blessing, the four goats had chosen to take shelter –all four of them were found in the dog house!!

The people you spend most of your time with:



· The 5 people whom you spend the most time with affect your sense of self, your self-worth, your sense of who you are. 
· If you hang out with dream stompers (those people who don’t believe in you or your dreams, and they don’t see the best in you), then it is very difficult to see the best in yourself. 
· If you have dream stompers in your life and you can’t get them out of your life because they are your family, find strategies to mitigate the effect they have on you. 
· If you want to expand your parameters in life and “step it up” so that you can increase the abundance in your life, you need to either move away from the dream stompers or find strategies so that when you’re with then, it’s not going to pull you down or affect your vibrational rate/energy field.

How do you know if a relationship works for you?

You can tell whether a relationship is good for you, because after you’ve been in someone’s company and you feel better, you know that it’s a relationship that’s good.  If you feel dragged down/depressed after being with them, then it’s not a good energy in your life.

Stategies to mitigate the effects of dream stompers:

· If, for example, a relative causes you to feel dragged down and it’s not possible not to be in their company, ask your relative to take a walk with you while she talks.  This way you can get fresh air, look at the clouds and have thoughts you want to have while still fulfilling your family obligation of being there for your relative.
· If someone is saying something negative to you, you can be shutting their words out inside your head by singing a song silently (as if you had an ipod on).  Don’t take in what the person is saying – the instant that you accept that bad feeling/energy, your energy/life diminishes.
· If you really want to have people who believe in you, see the best in you, and inspire you, become the kind of friend that they would like to have – be the kind of person that those people want to hang out with.  Look inside yourself.  If you want someone to support you, support others.  If you want someone to believe in you, believe in others.  If you want someone to celebrate your success without being jealous, celebrate the success of others without being jealous.
· If you want to work on yourself, go to Denise Linn’s website:  www.deniselinn.com and find a Soul Coach to help you – Denise Linn has trained all the Soul Coaches personally.  Soul Coaching can also be done by phone.
· If there’s no one positive around you or you’re having difficulty with someone, and there’s no way to shift the relationship, do this exercise.  Imagine this beautiful sea shore – it’s the shore of Infinite Love.  You’re walking on this shore, relaxed and feeling good about life.  Walking towards you is your nemesis – that person who stomps on your dreams or depletes your energy.  From a spiritual point of view, they are immortal, eternal, infinite and universal – from a spiritual perspective, that person has a big, beautiful soul.  Imagine that both  you and that person are coming towards each other as your Higher Selves.  Imagine that from the centre of your heart, you’re forming a heart connection; the Higher Self to the Higher Self (not the personalities or identities.  It could be that this particular person is in your life to allow you to learn and to grow.

JOYOUS, SPARKLING CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM: LIMITING CORE BELIEFS

News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch:

Denise and her family have realized it is time for them to leave Summerhill Ranch.  Sometime in the next year, they will be moving to a new home.  They lost their court battle with the oil company that wants to drill for oil very close to their property line.  While this has been a time of grieving for Denise, it has also been a time of learning and growing.  The support she has received from all her listeners through Facebook and the support that the Soul Coaches have shown, is deeply appreciated by Denise.

Limiting core beliefs and confidence:

· Confidence is something deep and silent – someone who accepts who they are and what they are; someone who understands themselves and doesn’t judge themselves, and sees the best in who they are. 
· Often what keeps us from feeling confident isn’t our conscious thoughts, but those deep beliefs that are in the dark recesses of our soul. 
· Those core beliefs can come from things that were told to you as a child, eg.  your parents might have said something negative to you or about you regarding your abilities – those beliefs go deep inside and continue to radiate out even though you may not remember what was said.
· Because of these deep beliefs, you will actually create circumstances that are repetitive patterns to validate those subconscious beliefs, even though, consciously, you keep affirming something positive.
· If you want to know what your subconscious/core beliefs are, look at your life – your life is a reflection of what you subconsciously believe, eg. if you’re struggling in life, there may be some deep core belief that says that life is a struggle.
· Some core beliefs can come from society, your religion, the media, your friends, co-workers, your ancestors, or past lives.

Unweaving the core beliefs:

· Discover what your core beliefs are and examine them.  This brings them up to the surface.  No matter how deeply ingrained these core beliefs are, you can release them!
· First, start writing down any core beliefs you think you might have.
· Write down the names of anyone you have had a relationship with in your life, eg. parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, co-workers, aquaintances
· Next to each name, write down what you know/think this person’s beliefs are about self-esteem – all the energy of the person gets absorbed into your energy field, eg.  perhaps the person thinks that confident people are egotistical.  Look at the person’s sense of self-esteem.
· Even if you didn’t know your great grandparents, write down what you imagine to be their beliefs about confidence and self esteem.
· Then also write down your religion growing up and your current religion, the society and culture you grew up in.
· Begin to look for patterns.
· With each of these beliefs, ask yourself:  is this true about me?
· Hone in on the most potent core beliefs, eg.  is there anyone you know (or even a public figure) who is confident and who isn’t egotistical?  You are slowly undoing those limiting core beliefs.
· Now think of an affirmation that is in direct contrast with each limiting core belief, and so begin to erase the core belief so that you have a new way of being.
· Going back into past lives can also be a way of beginning to unweave some of those beliefs you’ve taken lifetime after lifetime.  You can use Denise’s book, Past Lives, Present Miracles, or Denise’s past lives meditations on iTunes or hayouse.com.  The latter can even be used at bedtime and will work in your dream state to help unweave those core beliefs.  Denise’s CD, 33 Spirit Journeys, also includes a meditation to reprogram your subconscious and relinquish these beliefs.
 

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

· “Times of testing come when you are at that point of stepping up to the next level.”
· “The better you feel about yourself, the better others feel about themselves around you.”

JOYOUS, SPARKLING CONFIDENCE AND SELF-ESTEEM: THE SECRET OF PHYSIOLOGY

News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch:

Because of the many gophers on the Linns’ ranch, the coyotes from surrounding areas have been visiting regularly, with the result that the goats have been in danger.  Listen to the show to hear about Denise’s ingenious way to protect her goats!

Also, Ghandi, one of Denise’s goats (who is also known as Chewey), has taken to chewing on Denise’s hair.  The other goats have cottoned on to this habit, so Denise now has to tie her hair up when in the goats’ company!

Using your body for self-esteem

The way you hold yourself sends subconscious messages deep inside of you and those subconscious messages can be positive or negative.  Even if you have a negative self-image, you can use your body to shift out of it – if you do it on a continuous basis, it can permanently shift you out of that place.

How do you do this?

· Imagine a time when you felt really confident.  If you can’t think of such a time, imagine that you do, in the future, feel really confident.  As you get that image, how do you hold your body?  How do you hold your shoulders?  How do you breathe?  How do you speak?  How do you hold your chin, or your forehead?  How do you stand or sit?
· As an exercise, you can compare 2 positions:  first put your head down, slump in your chair and take shallow breaths – notice how you feel.  Now get into the next position:  shoulders back, arms above your head, look up and smile, and take deep breaths.  Notice the difference in how you feel now.  In the latter position, it is impossible to feel like a “loser”.
· You can change your emotional state simply by using your body.
· For the next 7 days, shift your position – stand as if you were confident, as if you were a strong, radiant person; stand as if nothing anyone says could hurt you.  As you do this again and again, it becomes a habit.  As these messages continue to flood into your subconscious mind, your subconscious mind starts to believe them.

Other ways to use your body to increase confidence and self-esteem

· Find out who you want to be.  What kind of person do you want to be (a peaceful person/a wise person/an uplifting or joyful person) and what type of energy do you want to project to the world?  Get clear on that and adjust your body so that this is who you become.
· Eg.  if you want to be a peaceful person, imagine the way in which a peaceful person would hold their body.  How would they walk/move/breathe?  Now adjust your body until you get into that exact position and feel it – you’re anchoring that feeling into that position.  As you move your body into that position again and again, you reinforce that you are a peaceful person.  It’s simply a matter of shifting your identity.

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

“The way you hold yourself sends subconscious messages deep inside of you.”
