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 1^st 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.”

PROFOUND MESSAGES: HOW TO LISTEN TO CLOUDS

News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch

It’s been raining at Summerhill Ranch and Denise’s four-legged family members somehow seem to think that she caused the rain – as a result, they weren’t very friendly towards her when she went out to greet them!  And Denise’s dog Sadie has taken to chasing coyotes!

Clouds throughout history

Throughout history, Shamans, medicine men and women, visionaries and prophets all looked to the clouds for messages.  Angels are often associated with clouds and even in the Bible there is evidence of this.  So it is in our collective consciousness that there are spiritual beings communing with us through clouds.  In modern times too, people have received messages through clouds.  At every moment, the Universe is whispering to you, giving you messages and signs – it’s simply a matter of learning to decipher those signs.

Why do messages come in clouds?

1. Your guides, spiritual beings, angels, ancestors – because of the nebulous nature of clouds, it’s a lot easier to impact clouds and “move them around” to give you a message – clouds are not dense and heavy like most matter on earth.
2. It’s easier for our inner knowing to project onto the clouds – we see images and symbols that can allow us to tap in more readily.  These images are what our inner wisdom/our subconscious/our higher self projects onto the clouds.

How to get messages from clouds

1. If the weather is not suitable, you don’t have to go outside to get messages from clouds, you can look at them through the window.  If it is possible, go outside and get really still.  Imagine that your thoughts are clouds and those thoughts are drifting and floating – just allow the thoughts to flow and allow your breath to deepen.  Get into that quiet place.
2. Ask a question.  The way you phrase questions is very important – do not ask a yes or no question, ask an open-ended question.  Also, ask a question that is specific eg.  is this new job the best for me?  What energy will I find in this new relationship?
3. Hold that question in your heart and mind, focusing on it but allowing your thoughts just to drift and not being attached to any answer.
4. Let your eyes get “lazy” – similar to the time just before you drift off to sleep.  Look around, but not looking at anything specifically.  Look at the clouds, just watching them.  As you do this and as you continue to take deep breaths and go deeper into yourself, allow your imagination to run. 
5. At this point, you’ve put the question into the cosmos and you’re not thinking about the question.  You’re looking at the clouds, just asking yourself:  what does it look like?  What is it similar to?  Take into consideration the colour, shape and speed of the clouds.
6. Then ask yourself:  what does it feel like?  Just scan your emotional self and ask yourself what emotion you’re feeling – that can be a good clue as to what the message is.
7. Also scan yourself physically:  What is your body experiencing?  Your body is registering the messages and trying to tell us something.
8. Look at what memories are coming up for you.  What associations are coming up for you?  The words or images that come up will have unique associations based on your experiences eg.  the word “dragon” might represent magic for one person, fear for another and a memory of someone “draggin” them for a 3^rd person.
9. As you look at the clouds, ask:  If I knew what the message was, what could it be?
10. Another method is:  with pen and paper, assign meanings to the different kinds of cloud formations eg.  when I see a circular cloud, this means love (or whatever you decide it should mean).  Get a list of different cloud formations from the internet, print the list and write the meanings next to each formation if you like.  In this way, you’re programming yourself for meaning.  
11. Always capture/write down the messages – it may have meaning for you, even at a later stage.

How to connect to the energy of clouds:

· Get into a very relaxed state and imagine that you’re a cloud – you’re floating over the planet with the hills and valleys below and the sun above.  Feel and be as a cloud.  You’re entering into cloud consciousness and this will make it much easier for those messages to come.

· You can also do cloud boring – this is a way to practise and deepen your ability to project and focus energy.  This is a technique which is better to do outside:  If there is a large cloud, imagine you’re a beam.  The beam can come from the center of your heart.  This beam of light is moving out of your 3^rd eye and is moving through the cloud and boring a hole through the cloud.  You can do this in a group and notice the speed with which you can bore a hole through the cloud.  Clouds don’t mind this.

· Another technique is that if you see a little cloud, a cloud just forming, you can embrace that cloud with your consciousness.  It’s not uncommon for the cloud to get bigger when you do this, and it moves and shifts and changes.  Those messages, the ones that start with almost nothing and grow really quickly, are very potent.

· Even if it is overcast, there are still subtle shades in the clouds and you can still get messages.  If you live in a place where you don’t see clouds, there are many other ways to get messages – insects, stones, trees, etc.

Additional Info:

· Your loved ones who have passed on can communicate you through clouds.

·  Often there will be one particular sign that Spirit or your guides have with you to let you know that they’re there.

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

“Start working with cloud energy.  There is consciousness in all things and as you connect to the energy of the clouds, the clouds are more likely to give you messages.”

SENSATIONAL SIXTH SENSE: TESTING AND ACTIVATING YOUR INTUITION USING COLOUR

News from Denise and Summerhill Ranch

Denise and her family had the first rain of the year in their area – a big event, especially for the feathered members of her family (her chickens!) who seemed a little apprehensive at the unusual sight of rain!

What is the sixth sense?

That sixth sense is our ability to perceive the subtle dimensions or the unseen world around us (which contains angels, ghosts, heavens, people who have passed on, prophetic images) – all of that which we have no way of proving through the physical universe. ESP, clairvoyance, premonition, intuition all fall under the sixth sense.

There are 2 ways in which we perceive the world:

1. Through our 5 senses (smell, taste, sight, sound, touch)
2. Our sixth sense also utilizes the physical senses (smell, taste, sight, sound, touch), but in a more subtle way.

Examples of sixth sense experiences through the 5 physical senses – when the inner and outer realms overlap, and these experiences seem real, but there is no validation in the physical realm:

· You smell something eg.  roses, or something strange like sauerkraut (true story!), and through this smell, you just know that someone is trying to connect with you from the other side – you have a foot in this realm and a foot in the next realm.

· You think you see something out of the corner of your eye, but there seems to be nothing there.  If this happens, admit to yourself that maybe you did see something but you don’t know what it is.

· Someone in an accident/war appears in full physical form to a loved one, and then they disappear – this person at that time was going through something traumatic and their spirit was reaching out.

· When people were out in nature being still, they’d have an amazing experience eg.  a teacher saw two birds flying in unison and carrying between them beads, which then expanded into a beaded cloak – she was not asleep, and this was a profound experience for her.

· You hear someone say your name and there is no one there; or you hear music, bells or singing that can’t be accounted for; you hear a knock at the door but no one is there.

· You feel as if someone touched you or passed their hand over your head, but no one was there.

· You get a certain taste in your mouth (sweet, bitter, etc.)

Examples of sixth sense experiences through the non-physical senses

· Hunch, or a gut-responses

· Through your dreams

· A knowing or a flash (something that you see or somehow suddenly know and then you find that it actually happens)

NB:  Do exercises to activate all of the senses for sixth sense experiences – because the more powerful and attuned your sixth sense is, the easier it is to be at the right place at the right time, and to make decisions that empower you, and to make a difference in the world for others.

How do you develop the sixth sense?

1. Believe - that you have a sixth sense, that there is another realm that is always communicating with you and giving you signs.  Believe, even if you have moments of doubt
2. Meditation – 1 minute a day can make a difference.  Sit still and focus on one object in front of you and be aware of what’s around you for 1 minute a day.
3. Enter into a very subtly altered state of consciousness – walk or sit down and let your eyes get lazy, then start breathing very deeply.  Do this in nature if you can because it’s easier to see auric fields in nature.  Look at a plant/tree/flower and be present with it.  Be quiet and use your imagination (which is often the key to the inner realm) – imagine that you can sense or see a light around the plant.  Imagine that you can see or sense an auric field.  Often just imagining this begins to open that inner knowing.
4. Free associate (say or think of a word, and the very next image or word that comes into your mind, you say that or think that image/word.  And so you continue…) - free associate with the intention of activating your intuition or knowing and it will work.  What you need to consciously know or remember can come to the surface.
5. Ask yourself:  what’s the message? - eg.  pick up an apple and ask what the message is.  If this apple had a message for me, what would it be?  Let it come, it doesn’t have to make sense and that’s part of the skill of the sixth sense – you’re not filtering or judging, you’re just letting it flow.
6. Doodle – especially doodle while listening to music as music activates your right brain (your intuitive side).  Then ask:  if this doodle had a message for me, what would it be?
7. Ask yourself:  what’s next?  - Choose a random page in a book.  If something happened on this page, what would it be?  Supposing the picture of a tree comes to mind, then you skim the page and notice the word “branch” – that would be interesting.  You could do this with a suite of cards.

NB:  Do exercises where you’re not attached to whether you are right or wrong (so that you don’t judge yourself).  The more unattached you are, the easier it will be to activate your intuition, and the easier it will become to get more accurate readings for your life.

Colour and the sixth sense:

· Colour is a vibration/energy.  Every colour has a different wave. (towards the red end of the rainbow, the waves are slow vibrations.  Towards the other end of the rainbow, the waves get faster.  Some colours, eg. ultraviolet, can’t be seen by us because of the speed of the wave – insects see ultraviolet.

· Colour relates to our emotions. eg.  studies have shown some of the following:  red may be used in a restaurant since it activates your appetite and catches your attention.  Blue is soothing and relaxing.  In a yellow environment, people have more clarity, are more communicative, and make fewer mistakes.  In a lavender environment, people are less likely to communicate.  The effect of the colour on your emotions doesn’t always correlate with the rate of vibration of the wave.

Denise’s Wisdom of the Week:

· “If there was a message, what would it be?”

· “Your sixth sense is like a muscle – if you don’t use a muscle very much, you don’t have control over it.  But if you exercise it, if you use it again and again, you develop a skill; you develop use of that muscle.”
