USA 2018

With a calling back to Mt Shasta, following the line to Mt Rainer area too. With the first ‘Lemuria Rising’ groups in America, SF Bay Area, and Mt Shasta.

San Francisco

4th September, flew in to San Francisco at 3.20 pm from Barcelona, with Air Iberia. Firstly, I was met at a station close to them, by Renee and Anthony from Blue Soul Earth. They were very interested in hearing about the groups. I stayed two nights at their abode. I am very thankful for their hospitality. They were a welcoming committee landing in America for this trip. Renee, is very active online, and has many feathers to her cap. www.weblogtheworld.com.

Oakland

6th September, catching trains to West Dublin/Pleasanton station, Katarina Amadora met me there in the afternoon. She is a friend of Emile Janse, whom had connected us. This is her site. She kindly hosted me at her place in Sandalwood Drive, Pleasanton, and I walked around these suburban streets. Taking the dogs for walks, and dog sat when she went away. I gifted her a Lemurian Healing to say thank you. As there were some bush fires in Mt Shasta, I stayed bit longer and rested before heading up.

Lemuria Rising Group – SF Bay Area

6 September, for this group the guest was Emile Janse. A Californian Sound Healer, specializing in the Didgeridoo, Hand pan, and Vocal overtones; particularly throat singing. Seven met in circle at Terra’s Temple in Berkeley, from 7 to 9.30 pm. Sheranda had brought waters from Mt Shasta, which we drank together. We were all amazed at the throat singing from Emile Janse. With the didgeridoo taking us on a journey somewhere else. This was the first group I had hosted in America. So a big thank you to Emile, Katherine and to those that attended. Sheranda exhibited some of her prints too.

Group at Terra’s Temple

Sept 16, 9.39 pm on an Amtrak overnight train to Dunsmuir from Oakland, leaving from Jack London Square. It was quite an experience catching this train, with not much sleep. I was on my way heading up to Mt Shasta, the reason why I had come back to the USA.

Dunsmuir

Sept 17, The train arrived at 5 am into Dunsmuir Train station. Sheranda was there to meet me. It was not far from her house. Sheranda Ann Kumara is an American artist I met through a mutual friend in Glastonbury. There had been fires in the area of Mt Shasta recently, the air had cleared by the time I arrived.

Sheranda rented a flat in Dunsmuir at the time. She had a spare room that was also her art studio room. I was thankful to stay there. Later on in the trip we went for an adventure up the mountain. But firstly we stayed around Dunsmuir, and I got to spend time near the waters there. The weather was really good.

Mt Shasta

We packed up to go for an adventure up Mt Shasta. Stopping in at the town on the way. We also stopped at this site of ancient rocks, called Ascension Rock. It is worth experiencing this giant rock outcrop, like a cliff but not quite. You can climb up Ascension Rock, and it is a place many come to ceremony or meditation. There was a group doing ceremony there when we arrived. There was a lot of energy here, and Light Language coming through.

We arrived at Panther Meadows,a beautiful spot further up the mountain. It was cold at night. Sheranda went away for a night and I borrowed her blankets then. Camping for three nights there at Panther Meadows Campground. She was staying in her van. I met another Elijah, as soon as we arrived. He was an American travelling in his van. And joined him and a group of people for bonfire and singing, which I very much enjoyed. The other time I was in Mt Shasta, I had also coincidentally met an Elijah.

Camping at Panther Meadows.
Panther Meadows

We got told off by the ranger one day. Because I had offered Sheranda a Lemurian healing. We did this on a blanket on the ground, and evidently were not supposed to walk on the grass.

A short walk from the camp site is a natural water site, where you can go to collect water. There is a toilet facility there at the campgrounds. Spending time in the woods and surrounds of Panther Meadows was very peaceful.

For some reason this ranger had quite an aversion to Elijah. On my last day there I ended up doing a ceremony with two others. Bobby and a young lass. We kind of ended up in a powerful portal spot, the ranger had felt called to take us to. At one stage, as the energy was so powerful, I asked the young lass if I could hold her hand. The most energy I had ever felt went through me and it confused me. The ranger gave us crystals later for some reason.

24 Sept, Sheranda and I moved to another adventure higher up the mountain to the top car park. There was to be a gathering up there, with locals Sheranda knew. There was a beautiful sunset glow on the mountain that evening, for a full moon drum circle and potluck. I camped at Bunny flat that night. It was very peaceful there. There was a stillness people come up the mountain to feel again. I had set up my tent before we headed up the mountain when it was light.

Spending time back there the next day, we waited for Elijah, to go on the hike with him and others. I helped edit some writings for Sheranda. There was a circle of people that formed not far from us. Mainly Native Americans, one man with a drum, and they opened the circle to whomever would like to join. Inviting people in, I eagerly joined. I felt honoured to be there. I cried because it was a powerful and appropriate ceremony. There was a talking stick that went around the circle and I spoke of how I was from New Zealand. Some of them spoke of their lives and were open and honest. I brought through a message in LL for the group too.

South Gate Meadows

It was getting later. Finally, Elijah was ready. Then we went for a big hike to South Gate Meadows. A gorgeous water stream flows at the arrival of the Meadows. It is a walk through many rocks, over round and through. Sheranda was tired and stopped just before we had made it. I kept going as I knew we were close. It was rest day the next day!

Then we camped at a quiet spot on the way back down. The camp sites are free. We saw a Bear cross the street in front of the car. This happened on the way back down the Mountain again. We both saw it and took this as a good sign.

Lemuria Rising – Mt Shasta

28 September, was the Lemuria Rising Group. A large group met in Mt Shasta, at venue called The Temple of Intention. Large windows offset the wonderful space with a view of the mountain. As the sun set, it was as if the mountain peered in and then said goodnight as night fell.

An evening circle with the guest presenters, Nina Kirby and Saranam. Nina I had met in 2013 at the Star Knowledge Conference. And Saranam, I had liked what I had heard of his sound healing online. I had contacted him to ask if he would like to be a guest, not realising they knew each other. And it turned out they used to be married, and hadn’t seen each other for a while. Funny how spirit works.

We felt a lovely stillness after a guided meditation with Nina. She brought through Light Language messages from a few Star Nations. Also with Sound Healing, we first experienced grounding in the meditation. Then, we floated in a tranquil sea of stillness and the everlasting expansion. The group worked with balancing and attuning the chakras, with some added voice and toning exercises together. With some wonderful sounds enticing the room, that sometimes merged and built together, especially with the Third Eye exercises.

Saranam, played the Didgeridoo, allowing for further depth of sound, integration and healing. The Lemurians nudged me that this was an important group. Thank you to those who were there. I appreciate you raising your hand to join the Mt Shasta anchor. New Foundations were laid and sent out through Mt Shasta. They spread across North America. It is time to release what has been protected and held safe for a long time.

Before I left I made these two recordings.

Puyallup Mt Rainer

30 September, from Dunsmuir, saying goodbye to Sheranda, I got the train upwards. Its about a fourteen hour trip, leaving early in the morning and arriving at 6.45 pm to Tacoma Station, and had an Uber taxi booked to take me to Melissa’s house in Puyallup. This town is located 35 miles south of Seattle.

On the train to Puyallup

I was to stay with Melissa Stone. A mutual friend, Joy White Peacock had connected us. She owned a groovy hairdressing business called Salon Rhu. I shouted her out for dinner one night. I rested a lot, and shared a Lemurian Healing with her to say thank you. Melissa was a great company and I think of her in very high regard.

It was a dull rainy day, and Melissa picked me up in her car after work at Sumner Station. I was in two minds whether we should even go, but she met me and said ‘we are going’. I had come to the area to be near Mt Rainier. It sits on the same energy line as Mt Shasta.

We buried a crystal pearl under a tree. We had found a clearing and both felt called to a certain spot. The last time I had been in this area was in 2013, when I was at Mt St Helens. So we did a small ceremony for Yosuke too. A rainbow appeared in the sky just after we did the burial. And a message came through from Yosuke, it was all very helpful and healing.

‘Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. Mount Rainier, also known as Tacoma, is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest. It is the highest mountain in the state of Washington. Mount Rainier is an active volcano and has the most glaciated peak in the United States. It spawns five major rivers, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. When snow melts, water flows down in a large volume. This provides Rainier National Park with the best waterfalls, vast lakes, and lush green forests.’ (words courtesy of http://www.getyourguide.com)

3 October, Melissa kindly dropped me off at Seattle airport. We had so many great discussions and laughed a lot. It was a 9 am Hawaiian Airlines flight en route to Kauai, Hawaii.
