Channel: Arrival of the Love Train

Arcturian Masters of Light channeled on 12/28/2011 through EstaRa in Guilford, CT.

Dear children of the Earth,

It is your time to rise up and stand for what it is you truly believe. We know some of you do not think you even know what it is that you believe any more as so much is and has changed. We wish to tell you that you are correct in wondering what it is that you believe. We tell you to look in your heart for your answers for your answers are not outside of yourself they are deep within the core of who you are. Your essence dear ones is pure divine love and we wish you to know that once you acknowledge that you will know what is and is not your truths. That is the place we wish for you to look for your beliefs and we say they may change upon looking more closely.

The universe has brought you many lessons over the last six years has it not? The universe has shown you who you are? Did you see? Were you able to be still enough to see? Were you able to be love enough to know? You are all that you experienced in the last six years, the good, the bad….we say it is all the same there is no judgment only humans make judgments as to what is good and bad. We say to the humans to look at your experiences as just that experiences. There is no good and bad. …each experience is simply a way for you to reach the next point in your life upon earth. Many of the experiences over the last six years were opportunities given to you to wake up prior to 11.11.11. Those of you who did not wake up prior to 11.11.11 we say to you get ready for a crash course into multidimensional living. Put your seatbelts on for your about to take a ride on the “love train”. The “love train” is the fast moving energy of love that sweeps you along with the rest of humanity who has awakened to love being the energy of the future. You will be swept into the future and find that you need to find your footing in this new energy because you have spent a large amount of time clinging or holding onto the old way of doing things. There is some energy that you will need to unlearn.

Those of you who did wake up prior to 11.11.11, how are you liking the love train are you seeing things more clearly ? Seeing things through the eyes of love? Is the energy of love bringing to you what you have waited for?

11.11.11 was the arrival of the love train and it has left the station and carrying on it a great deal of amazing changes some that can be perceived as good or as bad, but we again say to you have no judgments for they are simply changes. These changes will bring about a new consciousness for humanity one that you have been waiting and hoping for. It is now possible.

You will find the more you stay in the balance of the “NOW” moment that EstaRa talks about the easier it will be to access the energy of love. It is only when there are expectations that you leave the place of balance. (I, EstaRa told them that it is easier said than done) We do realize for you humans it is easier said than done, but it is possible. We caution each of you to not give up before you get started.

(Unfortunately, I was ready to channel all day, but my clients kept coming in for their appointments and I never finished this channel. I am hoping to continue again tomorrow, but in the meantime, I am told it is best to get this information out and not hold onto it. I hope that you receive the full beauty of this message as it is meant to be received.)

It is with love, honor and respect that we bring you this message today. We are the Masters of Light.

Namaste, Happy Hannukah & Merry Christmas

Inspirational Snippet
Today's Message is about gratitude. Last evening I spent a holiday dinner with friends, it was wonderful and I felt so blessed to have shared a special time with my friend and her family. They were all so warm and welcoming it meant so much to me. It made for the perfect evening really. I walked out to the car and saw the sky--it was magnificent. The stars certainly put on a show for us last night--I couldn't stop looking so I didn't. As I drove home, I got the feeling that I needed to go to the beach (I live not even 5 minutes away). I drove to the beach and stargazed for about a half hour. Yes, it was cold out last night in the 20's to be exact, but who noticed? I was amongst the stars.

When I finished stargazing, I lit my menorah for the 5th night of Hannukah, with my Christmas Tree all aglow and sat down to write a list of all that I am grateful for specifically over the last year because in case you do not know, I have lots to be grateful for this year (including knowing each one of you). My writing lasted an hour or so it included letting some friends know how much they mean to me too. I wrote until I felt satisfied that everything I needed to put on the list was there then I went to sleep and had the most peaceful sleep. I woke up this morning thinking of all the things that I am grateful for and forgot to add to my list. (Looks like I may have some more writing to do today!) I am and feel so blessed this year; the beautiful thing is that the blessings do continue. I wish for each of you to feel that which I am feeling deep gratitude for your lives, experiences and relationships (good and bad as they teach us lessons we so wanted to learn before we came here). Know that in the vibration of gratitude everything is possible even the things you think seem unattainable becomes a vision that can be attained.

My suggestion to all of you is that before you can plan how you would like the new year to be, I say to you that you first need to see the beauty of the last year and find your gratitude for it for that is the vibration I wish for you to start with in the coming year. Blessings to you my soul friends. Namaste, Happy Hannukah & Merry Christmas.

In gratitude and love,
Esta Ra

11-11-11

Greetings from Sedona, AZ.

It is a magical time…yes it is! As you know I am in Sedona, AZ to celebrate the portal of light known as 11-11-11. This conference is a gathering of all light workers around the globe to welcome in this portal of divine love and oneness. It is a magnificent event that everyone on this planet shall experience if they wish.

The 11-11-11 Portal is about opening and activating fully our divine hearts. It will not only open your awareness to a deeper love and understanding of who you are, your path, but also activate your ability to become fully multidimensional beings. What does that mean you ask? The following is a response I read on a blog by Aros Crystos: Are you separated from the divine heart or part of it? While the answer may seem obvious, remember we have been accepting that we are separated and that fear and lack is normal. If I accept that I am not separated from my divine heart or energy or consciousness, then I must also accept that I have the same qualities and divine powers and love as the divine being, and in that place fear and separation cannot exist. Can the darkness exist in sunlight? No. So in that acceptance, I am multidimensional, which means that I exist on all planes of consciousness simultaneously with no limitation, both outside and within time and space. I am and I am not. If I do not accept this then I live by my own limited mind and understanding and I am always at the mercy of other’s feelings and opinions of me, and birth and death are very real and all that comes with this limited understanding of who I am.

This stargate, portal of light known as a 11-11-11 is equipping you all with the ability to choose where you wish to place your energy. It raises your vibrational frequency to one of divine love. This energy will last all the way through to 12-12-2012. In essence, it will activate divine love within you in a way that your heart/divine love/your truth will shine from the inside out. What does that mean? That means you will shed light on all areas of your life that are in the dark or better put as those areas of your life that are no longer working/no longer in your truth. For some this may be a time of difficulty; but for many light workers it will be the NOW (The time they have been waiting for)….they will begin to see themselves stepping fully into the lives they have desired.

Many of you have asked how to experience this powerful gateway of energy on Friday on the day known as 11-11-11. While I am in Sedona celebrating with other members of the light tribe (that is all of us), it is not necessary for you to be in a gathering (although I would love if some of you do gather together) because it is an individual and collective experience. You will experience individually what the collective is experiencing. But here are some thoughts on how to experience the day.

1. Stay really grounded to Gaia. (My regular students you know who you are and you know what specifically that means for you.) It is important to ground your energy into Gaia—not only on the 11-11-11, but the days before and after to support you through the energetic alignments that will occur.
2. Spend time quietly in meditation connecting with the energy from above (through the cosmic star portal) to the energy below (through the earth star portal) while placing your attention on your solar plexus and heart chakras along with the Great Central Sun (the infinite source of light from above).
3. Use sound to assist you in bringing in this energy by way of toning or chanting.
4. Hold within your energy what you wish the future of the earth to look like. What do you desire to see? Hold onto that vision…you can write it, draw or breathe it. Simply do it.
5. Eat less meat, drink less caffeine to assist you in experiencing the energy that will be transmitted through you on this day.
6. The most important thing to do on this day is to seek within you what you wish to change and what you wish to find that joy that you so desire and deserve in this life. Find your joy, express and live it!

My final thought to you about this unprecedented event on earth on 11-11-11 is that it is a time for a heightened awareness of love. I have been seeing heart shaped everything over the last year …leading me to my “Spread Love Campaign”....allow this event to spread love all over you and the world too!

My guides wish me to tell you one last thing…many beautiful treasures await you on the other side of this gateway, welcome them in and know that you are safe, loved and protected always. All is as it should be.

See you all on the other side.
In love & light,
EstaRa

Channeled Message from Archangel Chamuel

Archangel Chamuel on Healing

Preparing my message for the day for fans of my Soul Star Healing Page, I received a message from Archangel Chamuel about healing. I was prompted to not only share on Facebook (as I post a message each day there), but I was guided to share with you all too.

Archangel Chamuel's Message today is about healing. This time of transformation and change is providing healing opportunities to clear your chakras of past "debris" and it requires you to honor your body, mind and spirit in your own time and space. It doesn't matter what one person is doing in their life, it isn't a matter of learning all healing modalities as possible...it is about you and your ...healing. What are you doing today to heal you on this journey? A lot is going to change quickly dear ones in a short span of human time, are you prepared? Go within and know that preparation comes from you, you are in control, you are the captain of your ship, you are the one you have been waiting for. It is time to stop looking outside yourself for the answers, guidance is fine, but it is a must that you learn to rely on your own guidance in these times for that is where your truth is. Chamuel suggests healing and clearing of your chakras. Look within you and see what is not working and identify which chakra is carrying the weight and work from there.

Breakfast Appointment

It's breakfast time! Just finished actually. At least there were some eggs and cheese and other stuff that became all too familiar for breakfast in Egypt like bread. ick!

It was another moment of saying goodbye so many people were leaving earlier than the New York group. We are all going home on the same flight tonight...that is DebRa, Solara, Crealo, Abbi and me. I don't think I am forgetting anyone.

DebRa asked if I wanted to do the Museum in Cairo. Some people have opted to go to the museum again, but I have my session with Crealo and that seems like the most appropriate choice for me to stay and work on me since my whole trip has been internally focused. I have cried so much on this trip...I have a feeling that I may be just about to cry again. DebRa just found out about a great little place to eat falafel really cheap; DebRa and I are going there for lunch. We are going to go to a grocery store across the way to buy some snacks for the plane trip home.

I told DebRa I should be back in an hour. Off to my session I go.

Good bye to Ebron Ra

Morning has woken and I am up it is only 4:30 a.m. Guess my angels wanted to make sure I didn't oversleep and now here I am awake and waiting before I can go upstairs to say good bye to Carole, Ebron Ra. I am sad to see her go. She has become such a part of me. I love her and she will always be a part of me even if I never see her again, but something tells me that I will.

Okay, back now, I went up to say goodbye and she left me with a little Egyptian change purse and a beautiful note of friendship. By the way, I am truly the only other soul awake at this hour besides Carole. hahaha It is a beautifully peaceful time to be awake, but oy! I am so grateful and I cry a little knowing that she is leaving; she has been my partner in crime so to speak on this trip. We bonded from the first day. I'm sad to see her go, but it is time and I will be leaving too at 11:30 tonight. I can't believe that it is time for our trip to end. I believe I am ready. I really miss my twin. I hope he is really missing me too. I wish to go to him when I arrive in NY, but not sure if that is appropriate because back in November(I may have mentioned or may not have) we said goodbye again. You know, in May it will have been 6 years that I have known him and we have said good bye to each other now: at least 12 times which if you divide it on average is twice per year, but the truth is goodbye could have been one week and two weeks later we talked and said goodbye two weeks later. He is responsible for the most goodbyes due to his freaking out. I have to admit that I am responsible for some too. Perhaps I will share the true story of my twin and me someday.

Anyway, I don't know where I stand with regard to him...I just know I love him and miss him deeply. Okay, I am going to go catch a few more z's before I have to officially get up to eat.

Went back to bed for a little bit.

The Last Supper

Tonight was our last dinner and gathering together as a group in the King's Hotel. And, yes you guessed it more tomato sauce and rice. I am so ready to go home for real food. I am going to buy gluten free bagels, donuts, etc. hahaha . Some of us are leaving really early in the morning so it really is our last dinner together. We celebrated the trip and laughed a little. I also broke down. Really broke down when dinner was rice and tomato sauce again for me. I need real food and I need to stop having so many acidic foods: tomatoes oranges everyday--OY VEY!!!

My mini meltdown was because my mouth had developed sores from all the food, but I think the meltdown is more than that. A lot of emotions have been whirling around me this entire trip. IT has been incredibly healing and I think that is why I am so reflective. I know there is much more healing to happen for me so I made an appointment for a session with Crealo Ra for tomorrow morning after breakfast. I feel I need to work with him on some of the emotions that I am feeling. Hopefully, this will jumpstart me to feel better when I get home.

We did our last gathering this evening too. We sat in circle for closing out our group. It was incredible that it has been such a short time together, but I really feel my family is here with these amazing souls who have done this journey with me. Ironically, I haven't been the April that I know or that many of you. I am sure you are saying, well of course, because you called yourself "Ra'chel. I believe the reason I needed to be called Ra'chel this entire trip was to emit the vibration of Ra'chel. Emitting that I have received the appropriate healing necessary for Ra'chel. I realize there will be more discoveries as I go on with my days, but for now, Ra'chel is healing.

As we went around the circle, I didn't know what name to call me. I wanted to say EstaRa since it was so clearly the name I heard in the temple yesterday, but boy this would confuse everyone--some know me as April, some know me as Ra'chel (actually most know me on this trip as Ra'chel so throwing in another name right now would not be a good thing to do.) I stayed with Ra'chel.

I am leaving tomorrow and I am going to bed early tonight because Ebron Ra, my dearest friend, Carol is leaving at 5 a.m. and I want to wake up to say good bye to her. Please Angels make sure I wake up ...she is such a very dear and loving soul.

The Citadel

Our final stop on the tour of the Old City of Cairo was the Citadel. It was really beautiful, but the truth is that after the Synagogue Experience I was still whirling around in my head with all kinds of emotion, not to mention still reeling from emotion over the last several days of the trip. The Citadel Complex was really quite beautiful and ornate.

In this picture if you look closely you will see the Tourism police standing at his station and yes ...gun on shoulder. Imagine that. If we had tourism police, would they have guns? It is really kind of scary. I guess we don't realize how free the US really is.

It was really quite beautiful and ornate.

When we walked into this courtyard of the complex, we had to remove our shoes so that we could walk into the mosque to see it. It was so large and I can only imagine how energetic this place would be with prayer happening. We were there at an off time, but just as we were getting ready to leave there was more that was to happen.

As we walked out of the mosque, there was a little market on the other side. Always ready to make some money even on the other side of a "holy building". Carole (Ebron Ra) and I looked at the scarves. I purchased an orange one and so did Carole. We figured if we bought the same one, we would never forget each other. It would be a great reminder that of our newly found friendship. This is me wrapped in my orange scarf.
I know I look mysterious...okay so some of my friends think I look really scary....I think I look mysterious...let's choose that...

Hold Tight to Your Dreams

This message was channeled live on Friday, Septemeber 30, 2011 through EstaRa.
Channeled Message: Live In Your Truth
Dearest Children of the Earth,

We ask you to hold tight to your dreams. There is one more wave of the roller coaster for you to ride out. But we ask you to honor yourself and get in touch with what it is you truly desire. We ask you to stay away from what others think you should be or do. We ask you to stay away from what you think is right or you what you think you should do or what is expected of you. We ask you to use this time to get in touch with the real you. The soul you--the part of you that you have allowed to lay dormant. The part of you that you have silenced along the way. We ask you to quiet your mind long enough each day to hear that part of you. If you listen you will know exactly what it is you are meant to do, how to live, and simply learn how to be.

EstaRa's new phrase of recent is "Get real with yourself". She is emphasizing get real with yourself by being truthfful to you--honest about you and your stuff. She is correct in emphasizing this with you. What is really no longer working? What has become or has been a struggle for you? Is it or has it only been working because you silenced a part of you or shut out what it is you truly desire? Now is the time to let it go and leave this baggage behind you. You have the magnificent potential to transform any and every aspect of your life, dear human. Nothing should or could hold you back from releasing the old--simply choose to embrace the new. It sounds easy, does it not? It is that simple, dear ones.

It is that simple--simply intend each day to live from your truth. The truth from your soul is one that is playful, honest, fun and by far, easier than any other way...that is how you know. Does that answer your question of how do I know it is from my soul? Dear ones, you bring us much joy and laughter for you remind us of us and our journey to the light--perhaps a different dimension (time and place for those of you humans who do not yet understand the multi-dimensional concept.) The truth is we underwent changes once upon a time too--that is why we are here guiding each of you now--we remember--you will too. Soon you will remember who you truly are.

It is with love, honor and respect that we bring you this message today. Namaste.

The Masters of Light.

Inspirational Snippet: Inner Knowing and Outer Vision

Good Morning Everyone,

It is a bright, sunshiny Sunday morning in CT and I am loving it. I have been waking up the past two days with songs in my head and the word magic jumping out! Just a reminder to me and all of us that we are magical beings of light which brings me to this morning's snippet.

Emmanuel's Book II: "In meditation it's all so simple. Why does everything get so complex when I open my eyes? Because you have been taught to believe what your eyes see rather than what your inner eye knows. A switch of allegiance is needed."

I love this snippet!! I love it...I love it...I love it! It resonates so strongly with what I know inside of me and my morning music the last couple of days. It is a reminder that the true magic is inside of us. We do know the truth of things when we learn to trust what we "feel, see and know" inside of us. Unfortunately, as the quote says we have been taught to not trust ourselves. We learned that from even a young age when are parents would tell us how we feel. For example: I remember having "people" (spirits, beings) in my room at night and my parents turned the lights on and didn't see them and told me no one was there. This taught me to not believe what I knew to be true. Did my parents do that on purpose? No, of course not; they didn't "see" what I "saw" and it is that simple. And since we are children our small world includes our parents, other relatives and teachers as the authority and all knowing, I chose to shut off my knowledge and "fit in" to what my family believed. I believe that is when I began to distrust my inner knowings.

Unfortunately, this is one way we give away our power, but it is also a very important concept to see. Once we identify it in one area of our life we can identify it in another area. That is the first step to reclaiming our inner truth. It takes practice to quiet your mind enough at the beginning to allow the truth to come through. However, I promise you that if you start to listen to your inner truth it gets louder than the rest.

I admit that this is sometimes one of the hardest lessons because we are so programmed to look outside of ourselves not only for answers, but for validation to what we believe to be true. And often validation doesn't come, not because people do not want to validate our feelings or truths, but because they are so caught in trying to do the same for themselves. It is really hard sometimes to "see and know" something and yet the external appearance of things is anything, but what you "see and know" inside of you. ( I am sure many of you know of my twinflame experiences--great example of what I mean.) However, it is possible to strengthen that part of you. It is possible to hear your inside voice louder than your outside voice. It is simply the matter of practicing and learning to hear it. When I teach my students and work with my clients, I often say to them this is what I feel and know to be true; however, you need to go within you to discern if there is a resonance to your spirit. With any information you hear and receive, be sure it resonates with you before owning as your own.

Once you open to assistance from the other side they will assist you with listening to your heart. My biggest teacher of this has been Archangel Michael. He taught me many years ago to listen to what I knew to be true in my heart despite the words I was hearing and it made all the difference in the world to me. Open to your heart and I promise it will make all the difference in the world to you too.

In love and light,
EstaRa

Inspirational Snippet: True Alchemy

Inspirational Snippet: True Alchemy

Happy Weekend Everyone,

I was reading again and saw this quote from the Emmanuel's Book II and wanted to share this with you:

"True Alchemy is the transformation of the energy of fear into the power of love."

I believe this quote captures the magic in life. We, each and every one of us, are the magicians in our life. If we can truly work on living in the moment as it comes then we can take every experience that we have and transform it from a fear base to a love base. It sounds easy as I type this, and I know for some of you you are thinking--simple, easy, piece of cake and for others you are thinking that is not always possible. I think you are both right; I just think you both may not fully grasp what that means. The simple process of choosing in the moment how to respond to a situation is key. Acknowledge the fear that you are feeling. For example, next time you do something to distract you from doing something that you know you "want to do" or "need to do", really check in with yourself to see what it is you are feeling. Flesh out that fear and acknowledge it. In that moment you have the opportuntiy to see the fear and then transform your reaction to one of love and overcome that fear. You may also forgo that distraction too! We, each and every one of us, are the magicians in our life. Using that method will truly change our life for the better. It takes practice to do that with everything in your life and it takes time to master that skill, but the more you do it the easier it will become. It is one of the necessary skills to mastering life upon earth. Blessings to each and every one of you. May the magic of your life be close at hand.

In love,
EstaRa

Inspirational Snippet: Your Strength

Good Morning World,

Today is another rainy day in Michigan and I am getting ready to pack up and move from Novi to Canton for the next couple of days before I go off to Hawaii. It has been busy this trip with readings, classes and healings. I began my morning making a cup of Yogi Tea and this is what it says:

Yogi Tea Bag Says: Live in your strength.



I love this message. Of all the work I do and readings I do, I notice that the most important thing that is necessary for people is just that: to live in their strength. But many do not know what their strength is. Often many people identify with other people's ideas of strengths and so they go about living their life trying to attain that particular strength as if it were their own. Each of you has different strength. Your strength is unique to you. For one person it may be their ability to speak their truth and for another it may be their ability to build a fence. Your strength comes in many shapes and sizes. There is no one way to be strong.

My guides have chosen to come through this morning:

Dear ones, your strength is individual to you. That is the beauty of being a human being. Each of you have come to the earth as a piece of the puzzle and each piece is necessary and different. Like a puzzle dear ones the pieces may look alike, seem to fit, but there is only one unique piece for that part of the puzzle. So too are you each--a unique piece to the puzzle. It is necessary for you to find your strength and live it for you are a necessary part of your human world. Your strength, light and being is needed now. We ask you to shine in that strength you have for it is needed particularly now in your earth time and space. The changes that your planet Earth is undergoing requires each of you to step into the truth of who you are. It may seem difficult at times to find it; that is simply because you are looking outside of yourselves, dear ones. Often you compare yourselves to others. We ask you to compare yourselves to who you discover yourselves to be. We suggest you take the time to look within you to discover the beauty of who you are for it will show you the way to your strength. When it is discovered, we ask you to be free to allow the process of living your strength to happen. It requires dedication to your soul's mission. Everyone has a mission and everyone's mission is slightly different even if they look the same, just as we mentioned a puzzle may look the same, but only the correct one fits. So dear ones, remember your piece of the puzzle will fit perfectly for you if you allow it to happen. EstaRa's message is timely for some of you. She has often felt that she is different since childhood, the beauty is that she is different and has learned to live her strength. Her strength is the beauty of who she is. Learn from EstaRa and dare to pave the road as you go rather than to find the one someone else has paved for you. It is with love, honor and respect that we bring you this message today. We are The Masters of Light.

My guides offer such beautiful words of wisdom. My wish is that you find within this message the empowerment needed to Live in Your Strength.

In love,
EstaRa

Been Here Before...Almost 600 Years Ago.

We left the church and started heading down what looked like an alley, but no it wasn't dark and dreary like and old time movie. But it was old. And, the doors on the buildings were really interesting as we made our way down toward the Ben Ezra Synagogue. This one door just called to me so I had to take a picture of it.
(Even now as I type up this blog for you all to experience the trip with me the door still calls out to me. Can you feel it too?)
I lingered in front of the door for a little too long that I had to catch up with the rest of the group.

We were told that the religious population in Cairo is 90% Muslim, 10% Christian and 15 Jewish families...no I did not fail math class---that is 15 Jewish families. Amazing isn't it? For those of you who know me know that I have studied Judaism over the last few years and that I am called to go to Israel(another trip that hopefully the universe provides to me because I can't imagine how I would be going there.). I have reconnected with many of my past lives as many of you know and there were a few lifetimes that I was Jewish...often a Jewish male.

When I step foot in a Synagogue at home, I immediately take on a new energy--my energy seems to get bigger--I embrace the Hebrew as if it were a language I speak. I don't speak Hebrew at all except about 20 words or so that a guy that I dated a few years back taught me....I thank him immensely for the gift of teaching me. I am not one to do well learning on my own from books. I am someone who enjoys being in a school setting and learning form humans not computers or books---perhaps that has a lot to do with my guides. They don't teach me by reading they teach me by experiencing many things. (We won't go there for the sake of time and my hand would hurt writing the many dramatic at times experiences. But feel free to ask me sometime.) So I have many books on learning Hebrew, but I am not disciplined enough to learn it that way and quite honestly, I think I need to hear someone pronounce the sound of the words. Going back for a moment to the words I do know, apparently I speak them so well that I sound like I am Israeli. Now the first moment, I stepped into Synagogue I sang those prayers like I was an expert--I don't know where that came from other than my spirit channeled them right through me. Incredible experiences, but I digress! PS didn't think of blog my experiences with Hebrew, Judaism and Synagogues, but they too were amazing in and of themselves.

Anyway, we make our way to Ben Ezra and we are told we can't take pictures inside which is quite disappointing to me, but it is what it is. This is the entrance gate to get to the grounds of the Synagogue.
Oh ya, I failed to tell you that it started to rain when we left the Church. Yes, it rained in the desert in Cairo---I was surprised too!!

The security to get into the Synagogue was probably the best and most realistic security we went through the whole time we were there. As I mentioned in my earlier blogs, they didn't really look at our stuff in line, but just made us put our stuff up there like for appearances or something. This I felt secure in their checking things out. We walked into an area where we could sit while our tour guide, Setep en Ra started to talk about the history of the synagogue.

As I sat there trying to listen, my energy got pulled back in time. The voice of Setep en Ra began to fade out. I began to see everything change; the building in which I was sitting transformed to a Temple that was used and I was sitting in this temple as a member attending a Shabbat service. I saw people as they arrived in the building to pray and get prepared for Shabbat. I saw that I was a man and that I had a son who was there with me. There were no women in there; only men. It was incredible. I could hear the prayers being recited and I could see the men as they performed the Shabbat Service. This experience showed me one life that I lived as a Jewish male. I feel like I was one of the original founders of this Temple.

Then I started to hear our tour guide's voice again and he was telling something about Jewish tradition and I asked him if I could correct him based on the knowdledge that I had just experienced. He asked if I was Jewish and I said no, but that I had studied Judaism. He said that he had few friends that were Jewish and emphasized how the religions really got along here in Cairo. He asked me to share what I knew with the rest of the people there. I started to tell them what I saw, but also what the meaning of traditions were from my own knowledge.

Then as we were leaving, there was a place to purchase memorabilia from here and I really wanted to have something from here, but nothing resonated. I felt that I didn't need it the experience in the Temple was enough to help me to hold this memory. (Even as I type this to you now I am experiencing the sounds of the Temple and the visions of it too!)

A few days earlier, Sokehelia said that she felt there was something there at the synagogue for me. I felt it too. I couldn't wait to go there and now I know. Everything was so familiar and I felt like I could stay there for longer, but it was time to move on. So I left with a part of my energy (me) returned to me. Thank you Ben Ezra for still being there for my journey 600 years later.

The Streets of Cairo

The streets in Cairo are so busy and packed with vehicles---it is like a dusty NYC street. Here is a picture to show you just that.
This is a picture of the bus as we are about to board to go downtown to the Old City of Cairo.
The ride to the church was eventful. While we were driving in the bus, I looked out the window and really saw the chaos of the streets. There was really no lane. People and animals were on the local buses. It reminds me of the scene in the movie Romancing the Stone where Kathleen Turner boards the bus in Colombia. Not a bus I would want to travel on. Not because of the crammed in animals and humans, but because of the bus stops. There aren't any. I mean literally the bus stops in traffic; people board on and off in the middle of the road no real bus stops. The people boarding on and off must navigate through traffic because the traffic is not likely to stop for them. It was a scary sight I must say.

We are here. I took a picture of a sign across the way. I swear if I was here alone I would be totally.
Everything is written in Arabic. It really is quite the beatitful language though.

Waiting in the King Hotel

Here we are in the lobby of the King Hotel--waiting for the "Nasty Train" to arrive. And waiting. And waiting. The plane people look so refreshed and our group, the sleeper train people, don't look so bad either. The nasty train people, well you know we won't know for some time. It sounds like there is no ETA on their arrival.

The plan is that when they arrive, we will have one hour to get together and do our last scheduled optional tour of the Old Cairo and the Citadel. Unfortunately, I just found out some bad news that only two other people want to do Alexandria and we won't be going. I am so disappointed, but that tells me that I will be heading back to Egypt again. I have to say that I am really disappointed because now I would have gone on the hot air balloon ride. Oh well--I'm in Egypt...seriously, can I really be disappointed? hahaha

Being back in Cairo is so different than the rest of the places we went to. It is so metropolitan and crazy --don't like it so much.

Saw our room and just so you know the King Hotel is not the name I would have given it. It is not likely to house Kings--not so clean once again. But still better than that hotel in Aswan. We have our last group gathering tonight and not everyone is doing the city tour. I hope I make it to the group gathering since I haven't recently been to the last two.

They are here--the nasty train peeps arrived. They don't look so bad apparently the right people traveled on that train knowing they could still find some sleep. There trip took a lot longer because they had some train trouble and were stopped for some time.

Okay, got to run--well walk to the bus for our journey to the Coptic Church.

Inspirational Snippet: Yes

Good Rainy day from Michigan,

Here I am sitting in Novi, MI being a little chilled by the rain and getting ready to go out and do some readings this evening. Nothing more exciting than getting a good cup of tea, reading a book and taking a nap. Nap-Check, Book-Check and Tea-Check Now onto the snippet.

This is a simple message for all of you thinkers out there. The ones who plan, plan, plan and then do and then think, think, think about what just transpired. It is for all of you who rehash life to try and understand why. Ever ask the question, WHY? I know I used do and sometimes I get caught up in the trap of WHY...of course now I just wish that was a word that they skipped over in school and I wouldn't have to ask that question again. Sound familiar? Ever satisfied with the answer? Even better, do you really ever get the answer?

From Emmanuel's Book II:
"Dare to believe the universe is simple. A loving YES is the doorway to infinite possibility. You were not meant to understand your life. You were meant to live it. "

This quote unlocks the key to what is not working in your life. Do not think, do not question, do not plan, simply allow. Realize that the universe provides you with numerous opportunities each day to heal, express yourself, fall in love, get caught up in the moment and just live. The things that happen, happen simply because they are what is supposed to. There really is no need to question--why me? Why did he do that? Why did she do that? Why is it this way not that way? It is not necessary to understand why or how some things happen. It is only necessary to experience it.

My wish for you is to take hold of life and truly say yes to the amazing opportunities that are coming your way even if they seem a bit scarey, ridiculous or unbelievable. It is time to say yes to life!

Hanging Church in Old Cairo

The tour of the old city began at the Hanging Church in Cairo.
It is a magnificent church as are most old churches. It is called the Hanging Church because it is suspended above the gatehouse of a Babylon fortress.

I am not sure if you can even tell by the following pictures that it is, in fact, hanging. The first picture is the entrance to go up the steps to get to the church and the second picture is looking down.


I could feel the energy of this church, but no real experiences for me here. I almost wonder if I am just burnt out because it is the end of the trip. But here are some more pictures of the church. I love stained glass windows and this one is so deeply in color.

This piece is real ivory and wood. It is magnificent to look at. Everything is so ornate and detailed in this church. It is really quite beauiful.

Morning Has Broken

I see light shining out through my window. I am awake. I lie here in the bed and think to myself I slept on a train. It wasn't bad at all and honestly the movement was really comforting. I think I can travel across country by train or perhaps Europe? Anyway, back to my experience this morning. We've been traveling 10 hours now and ready to get off the train, but here comes breakfast delivered to us.

Oh goody--an orange! And, yep you guessed it--a box of bread again! There is the tiniest piece of cheese you ever did see. Imagine it--make a triangle with your thumb and pointer finger--that is about the size and actually that may even be a bit bigger--thank heavens for the chocolate bar. At least the nuts have some protein.

Our train just stopped, but it is not our stop at least I don't think. I hope someone remembers to tell us it is our stop, we don't have a guide with us. Truthfully, this could be the stop but who would know we don't speak Arabic. hahaha

I just looked out the window and look at this tree--not the best picture, but you can see monkey heads in it. If you look closely, you will see what I mean.

Isn't that interesting?


We got the sign that we are almost there. I have to admit taking the luggage I did was way too much. I think I need to learn to travel lighter or get comfortable in dirty clothes. It is too heavy and yet it isn't heavy at all (not compared to other trips I went on in my past when there wasn't a luggage weight limit!), but after lugging it on a train twice now it is just not something you want to carry with you. Maybe a backpack instead of a suitcase? hahaha Ya right, who am I kidding. If you know me that seems near impossible.

Okay we are deboarding and heading to our hotel in Cairo. Let's see if we really did beat the Nasty Train. My guess is that we did, but who knows our train took longer than they thought. I'll write more later.

1.16.2011

Planes, Trains and Automobiles ( I mean Sleeper Train, I mean Heaven )

We just boarded the train. I am with a third of our group of Lightworkers. Our group did split up. A portion of our group took the plane back to Cairo and will be sleeping soundly in a hotel bed tonight. Another part of the group took the "nasty train"--yes some people did opt to go back the way they came. I don't want to think about it so I am going to suggest if you are not sure what the Nasty train is like, I would recommend going back in my blog for that entry. You will then be able to get the picture. I was still surprised that people went back on that train.

And here I am sitting on the sleeper train as we prepare to leave. I just did a shopping spree out on the platform---well no not really. I went grocery shopping so to speak that included 2 chocolate bars, potato chips and water. This is just in case I get a box of bread again for breakfast. I was so worried that the likelihood of me having food in the morning based on the past trip is grim. Bought a ton of water.

Ebron Ra and I are sharing this cabin. And it really is quite the cute cubby hole.

It is tremendously clean in comparison to the Nasty Train. This is more of what I think of as average in America--but it would be considered first class here, perhaps? They have pillows blankets and beds...haven't checked out the potty yet. Will keep you posted. If I could sleep for at least a few hours I will be grateful.

Okay, checked out the bathroom and it is still not what I would consider clean, but it is sooooo much better than the other train. At least when I lifted the toilet seat, it did not fall off and well there was running water. Oh and imagine this we have a sink in out cabin too!! I don't have any complaints really...just looking forward to hitting the pillow...will write you more in the morning.

Inspirational Snippet: What is Guilt?

Another amazing quote from Emmanuel's Book II. The Choice for Love. As I read this quote, I felt that this is a must share.

"What is guilt? Guilt is second judgment. It is looking at oneself in hindsight and saying "I really ought not to have done that." "But, my dears, if you really ought not to have done that, you would not have. Know that at the moment of happening, it was all appropriate. If you have learned since that the act was not what you would choose now and you feel guilty, know that the act itself has brought you to this understanding. That was all it was meant to do."

There are many of us raised with the sense of guilt through our families and then reinforced by our religious backgrounds. I saw this quote and really thought I needed to share this with you so that you can breakfree from the pattern of guilt you or a loved one may have established throughout this life. I love the way Emmanuel explains "guilt". Do you realize that what Emmanuel is saying is that if you feel guilt about something it should be the lesson to feel the guilt and then release yourself from the guilt. The point is to hold onto guilt is to keep you stuck. To feel guilty is to remind you of the lesson you learned so that you do not remake that "mistake". It isn't supposed to make you afraid to live. As Emmanuel mentions if you were not supposed to do something then you wouldn't have. Every part of living is an experience to cherish even the "so called mistakes".

My only wish for you is that you remember that if guilt sneaks up on you...what is the reason? Is it to make you feel bad? Or is it simply to remind you of a lesson that you wish learn? It is all in how you choose to perceive it. My wish for you is to not put energy into guilt over the choices you have made. The choices were made because at the moment you made them that is simply what you chose. As Emmanuel says, if you didn't like the choice this will stop you from making it again, but no need to waste energy on feeling guilty. Spend your energy on loving you instead.

In love,
EstaRa

Official Good bye to Scarab Tours

We just finished up our dinner and we are off to get to our train. We crammed our luggage in the center of the hotel lobby before going off to dinner. Not something we would feel comfortable doing in America, I mean we would be concerned that a our luggage may match someone else's and they may just have to take it home too! :) (okay so that was my poor attempt at a joke--I really mean to say someone may steal it!) We all met at the restaurant that we went to the day we arrived at Luxor. I was happy to be able to order from the menu because that meant no tomato sauce and rice. Woo hoo!!

It was such a pleasant gathering, but really sad at the same time. I know that most of us will see each other tomorrow, but it is sad to know that we are leaving Egypt and each other even though we are deeply connected at a Soul level. I love everyone that I have met so far and it is incredible to know that our connection happened so quickly over the last couple of weeks. I know that in my heart I will know them forever, but I also know that human life gets in the way and I certainly would hope not, but then again one never knows. We exchanged emails, phone numbers and addresses.

It was getting time to leave to catch up our bus to our transportation. I just found out that we do not have a tour guide that will travel with us. Oh my!! We don't? That freaks me out a bit no one speaks Arabic. Okay let's not get panicked. But, what if we miss our stop, who is going to come claim us? hahaha ...back to breathing I trust our guides (the etheric beings that have guided me along my way) to get us there--they have gotten us this far.

We had an opportunity to say good bye to Setep en ra and Wassim. It was really funny, I thanked them both. They really were tremendous light beings. They were helpful and so open to what we were doing. Who else would put themselves in the possibility of getting thrown into jail for their tour people? That alone should win them awards.

Funny story, when I went up to say good bye to Setep an Ra. I thanked him and gave him a hug. He told me that I was a beautiful soul and to realize that while all the men were trying to buy me with camels--that was real. (I had told him about my experience of the many offers to purchase me with camels since I entered the country.) He said when the Egyptian men are flirting with travelers they say beautiful eyes and flirt, but when they offer camels for you that is a serious offer. He said I should be honored. I laughed because inside of me I felt like I was horrified that they followed me everywhere, but I guess I am honored that some men want to buy me! hahaha

If we are doing the optional trips, we will see Scarab Tours again, but if not this was the last opportunity to say good bye.

I wish to tell my twinflame when I get back that even the men in Egypt find me to be a good catch. I wonder what he would think if he knew. I wonder if it would matter to him ? I wonder if he misses me. I can't help, but feel these questions inside of me. It is getting close to the end of the trip and I have to make a decision if I will call him. I want so badly to get off the plane and go directly to where he works and tell him that I love him and I miss him, but not sure if I should do that. I mean I know on an etheric level that he feels the same way, but 3D I don't know what he is thinking--we haven't spoken now in over two months.

Okay now, we got to go and catch the sleeper train..see you on there.

Inspirational Snippet: The Human Costume

I've been reading again. Always a good thing and thankfully, my flight to Michigan provided ample time. I found something I really wanted to share with you from Emmanuel's Book II: The Choice to Love. The following truly resonated with me:

"The sense of Self is distracted by what you have been taught are the necessities of human survival. You have worn these belief systems as part of your costume all your lives..... Your costume has become your identity. Every "mistake" you have been taught you made comes from the illusion that you should conform to your costume. YOU have never made a mistake."

I hope you hear this reminder. "YOU have never made a mistake." Each step a long your path truly is paved with opportunities for you to become more you. We are taught from the moment we are birthed how, what and who we are based on someone else's experiences. Our teachers being those within our immediate circle: being parents and extended family we interact with. Is it a bad thing? No, of course not. We chose our parents to experience just what they were ready to teach us (yes, even those of you who may not want to admit to it or own the responsibility for choosing the life you are living). They were to be our first teachers in this world. Some of you may be wondering why would I ever choose this? You chose this because the way they raised you good, bad or indifferent (depending on how you viewed it) was exactly what you needed to learn the things you came here to learn.

Those experiences paved ways for growth opportunities. You were not meant to hold those belief systems intact unless of course they fit you. If you are not "happy" living the life you are living, it is time to ask yourself: Am I conforming to what other people believe? Does this life that I am living fit my dreams and goals? Or do these dreams and goals belong to someone else? Each time you have judged yourself or someone else for the mistakes that you have made you are still trying to fit (conform) to those belief systems. For those mistakes that you call them are simply opportunities to break free from the costume you have been "donning" since childhood. Your job is to find that learning what you were taught is the fuel that empowers your need to discover yourself. We are meant to shine from whatever circumstances we have been given. The beauty of who you are is truly attainable.

Are you willing to shed your costume? Are you willing to empower yourself beyond where you are? Are you willling to shine your light? I promise you that if you do this--not only will you develop a new "costume", but your life will take turns toward what it is you desire!

With an open heart of love,
Estara

Inspirational Snippet: Ending of Relationships

I was reading again and this book has been such a great read and great reminder of things. The book is called: Emmanuel's Book Compiled by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton. (By the way this book was written back in 1985) I highly recommend this to be a great read for you. Much of what you read will be stuff you already know and feel, but it is a helpful reminder to help you through these times of change and transition.

Over the last couple of years, I have noticed people waking up and making huge changes with their life. I also have noticed many people struggling and resisting what they are feeling especially in terms of their relationships. Our society teaches if you get married that you should stay together no matter what. I know I was raised to believe that once you get married, it is supposed to last forever; but a few years back I wrote (channeled an article called Relationships: Our Road Map on our Soul's Journey) and it put everything into perspective for me. If you want to read that article it is located at my blog: www.aprildamato.blogspot.com . I was reading a passage in the book that really resonated with me regarding relationships and the article I had written a few years ago. This information is simply a rediscovery of our soul knowledge. Recently, I have had many people coming in for guidance about their relationships and my guides suggest that now is the time to share this information again.

Now, I would like to preface this "excerpt" with the following: a divorce is not for everyone at this time; however, there are some of you trying to understand why you or your spouse may be filing for divorce or strongly contemplating it. Remember, we are not just physical beings we are spiritual beings with spiritual lessons to be learned on this physical plane. Emmanuel's Book Excerpt:

"Why are so many marriages ending in divorce? It is because people have accelerated their growth processes. Souls come together, not to remain together in physical contact, but to grow. When this has taken place the gifts have been given and the lessons have been learned. So don't you agree that it's time to move on? All things are in order, Do not be alarmed by change. Things are speeding up not to leap into the pit of destruction, but to come to that plateau of understanding that you are seeking."

"What can I do a concerning my deteriorating marriage? Let it deteriorate. Marriage is another word for relationship and when a relationship no longer serves, if you have scraped the bottom of the barrel to find the meaning, to find the lessons, to find the essence of why you have come together, and this has not brought forth what you are seeking, what more can you possibly do? If there is no true wedding it matters very little how you close it. Can you not let this go with your love and your blessings so the next time you meet this soul again there will be more compatibility, more compassion, more understanding? For you will meet again."

In love and light,
EstaRa

Inspirational Snippet: Choose Love

I was reading again recently and ran across a question that the author of the "Emmanuel Book" had asked of Emmanuel and my guides shouted to me share this. I asked why? They said because this is what you have been saying, but sometimes humans need to hear it from more than one source for it to resonate with them. So here it is...

The question: Can you give me a mantra to use when I feel lost in my own depression and fear?

Emmanuel Responds: When, without even knowing the meaning of it, you say with every inhalation, "I choose love here. I choose love," You will see the light change and the darkness dispel. Your mind may say, "I don't understand what happened. All I did was sit here for fifteen minutes choosing love." Well, mind, that's all that is required.

Can you feel that? Even in the midst of chaos, emotional pain and physical discomfort, you can feel it. Try it now for just one breath and then another. How does that feel? Imagine 5 minutes of that a day? The magic would be yours to receive peace and love while quieting the lifelong drama of fear that one so often chooses. It feels really good I just tried it before I wrote this to you.

In love and light my dear soul friends,
EstaRa

Heading back to Luxor for Our Last Supper

We are on the bus ride back toward the hotel. We just saw our last temple and that would finish our temple hopping—that is what I call this experience. It really was like we hopped from one temple to the next and the next. It was late in the day when we arrived and I was tired. Tired from the emotions, tired from the physical aches and tired from not sleeping well…I am just overall tired.

We are now heading back to the hotel for our last group dinner together in Luxor at the same restaurant we went to the afternoon we arrived in Luxor. Originally, we had additional time at the hotel to shower, relax and pack before we went to dinner, but surprise we don’t have that time. Well, it didn’t surprise me and honestly at some moments, I think it is best that we keep moving otherwise I may just get sucked into a crying jag and not overcome it. We have about 45 minutes to pack up, freshen up and meet at the restaurant for our last dinner together and officially we would separate into the three groups. Those of us on the sleeper train, those of us on the airplane and those of us on the “nasty train”. It turns out that we are divided evenly as a group for those three modes of transportation, but we are all to arrive at different times. Okay, off I go to pack my stuff…see you on the sleeper train.

Eternal Quest for the Bathroom at Denderah

It was late day on our way back from the Temple to the bus and a few of us really needed to use the bathroom. I have to admit that while on this trip I have established that the bathrooms here in Egypt are quite disgusting and my threshold to dirty has become relative to the place I am in which allowed me to pee in places that were lesser than I would ever consider in America. That being said, I really don’t like having to pee on transportation things like bus, train, etc. And, just a preview for tonight—we take the “sleeper train” back to Cairo. So , I thought here are Denderah there is a little extra time for me to find the potty that wasn’t moving. I made my way with a small group of Jeanne, Meg and Carole to find the bathroom. We walked through the little village that is established outside of the Temple building itself so it would be considered part of the “park” at one of our monuments in the US. And, there were shops that were closing and shops that were opened trying to get our business and public bathrooms. However, to use the public bathroom there was a man at the door trying to collect money. Really? I couldn’t believe it. We attempted to go to a few before we finally found one. They were really gross, but then we found one that was lesser than the others. We finally made our way into one that they were only charging if we wanted toilet paper and well me the tissue queen (thanks Angels for making me sick with the flu before I left for my trip because that is what prompted me to bring so many tissues!!) had enough in her bag for each person with me. Of course, one tissue each, but it worked and we didn’t have to pay—though the man followed us out the door trying to collect money from us for just using the potty. I have to admit I won’t miss this. I feel really dehydrated on this trip I surely do not drink as much I do when I am at home---but I warn you…it is a good thing!!

1.15.2011

Arriving at Denderah

We arrived at the Temple at Denderah with barely enough time to see it. We had maybe an hour to visit the temple and do all that we needed to do here before it closed. This temple was built dedicated to Hathor and I could definitely feel the Hathor energy here at Denderah. It was so much lighter than Abydos and so much lighter than many of the other temples. As the Goddess of love, joy and music you could tell the difference in the feeling of this temple upon arrival at Denderah. Each step we took it was softer than any of the other temples that was the first thing I noticed here. It was quite a walk from the entrance gate to the temple itself and you could see it was becoming late afternoon at this point.

While I was still feeling really raw from the whole experience of this trip and the healings that were happening to me each night with past life memories, healing old wounds of this lifetime and many previous lifetimes, surprisingly because this energy was so light, I was able to hold back my tears for this whole time.

As we approached the entrance of this grand temple, there were six columns and an opening in the middle where it felt like there were these grand doors, but as you can see there is only this large opening to what felt like a courtyard. I feel like dancing or something took place here. We made our way through and to the back where there rooms were very tall and large and there was some amazing pictures etched into the stone that I was not able to capture because I didn’t take my camera out as it was getting dark.

We walked in groups up to the top of the temple which was like the roof with no roof on it. That is the only way I could describe it. Solara was looking for a place for us to come together in a circle where we wouldn’t get into trouble. The thing is we have been dodging guards at all these places because they do not like anyone coming together in a circle and it could cause our “Tour Guides” to get into some trouble not to mention us too. I didn’t even bother to take out my camera up here because it was getting dark and the lighting would affect what came out and truly we didn’t have the time.
To find our place to gather, we climbed many steps, but they were not steep like steps we know. They were flat and each step was like only a couple of inches high. When they created this they did like 12 steps and then it became a flat and then you turned a corner and up another set. I felt like in this temple there were more stairs than any other with the exception of the Great Pyramid. It was incredible how steps we climbed and on some levels we would see rooms off the side. I saw in one of the rooms we stopped to look in that the rocks had faces in them. It was really quite an amazing journey.

As we made our way up to this open top, it was like the top floor without a roof---It was all open to the sky with the exception of one room we made our way to. This room was enclosed and on the floor was a giant circle with the signs of the zodiac. It was definitely a magical room and we chose this to gather at first, but then the space was really not large enough for our group of 33 to fit around this room and the guards came and moved us. So we made our way out to this area that was almost like a room with a column on each of the four corners. There were no walls and no roof, but it seemed just perfect for our group even if just out in the open. So we gathered together in our last circle in a temple as a group on this trip. We held hands and called light into this time and space. As I stood there, I still felt quite raw from all that has been transpiring, but I was able to hold back the tears. It was interesting because as soon as we gathered here and called in the light, it was as if there was no one else around. I felt like we had become invisible into a new dimension. It was very incredible. I had still remained very much the quiet one on the trip which is by no means who many of you know me to be.

We were then left to visit the rest of the temple on our own for the next 20 minutes and then we were to make our way back out to the bus.
Love this little person so I had my picture taken with him, it made me feel tall considering these temples in size were huge. Okay so it really was a pillar that was broken and he was the top of the pillar, but right now he is on the ground so it made me look tall. hahaha

The Call of the Crystal at Abydos

We are now back on the bus. Lunch as usual was not very eventful or exciting; however, it was something to eat and there was some cool parts too!! Being Italian and loving tomato sauce am quite amazed how much I am disliking tomato sauce on rice. That is all I seem to be able to get here and oranges. How much acid can one endure in their diet? I know they have bread (you all know by now just how much bread they have there), but I can't eat it to help balance the acidic foods...I am gluten sensitive and believe me I do not want to do anything on this trip that would make me feel physically in pain and hence that is what gluten has done to me.

Tears have been coming and going still, but not the flood gates like yesterday; though I think you can tell if you look at my eyes that I had been crying enough tears to flood the Nile here.

So anyway, we have eaten, I have used the bus bathroom which is by far the cleanest bathroom I have encountered on this trip with the exception of the hotels we have been staying at. Yes, imagine that I have developed a new standard in bathrooms...look out America cause here I come and McDonald's will not be my only "pee stop" I am no longer afraid to brave the less than perfect bathrooms. I guess that is the lesson Egypt is teaching me that and not to drink so much water. hahaha

I digress, we are on our way to Denderah now. But I have to tell you the story of my crystal. When lunch was over, the restaurant people had placed a bunch of quartz crystals over on another table for us to purchase. The mountain at Abydos is made of Quartz Crystals. Everyone on this trip had brought with them large crystals and really I didn't bring too many. Just a few that I had carried in my pouch including the one I had gifted to Sekhmet. Right after lunch we all walked over to the table to look at the crystals to see if we wanted to purchase one from the mountain. I saw many on the table of all different sizes. I saw large crystals and I wanted a large ornate looking one that I could use when I channeled like Solara An Ra had. She held these amazing crystals and it helped her connection to her guides. I was thinking maybe the larger the crystal the more connection I would have. So I walked over to the table and picked up all these crystals and felt nothing.

Then, there was this one. I immediately felt a vibration in my hand. I put it down and I really felt like it called me. I picked it up again. It wasn't the pretty one, but it was one that could be held in my hand and it picked me really. It was the only crystal on the table of many that called out to me and that I felt a vibration with. It was truly amazing.

I am holding the crystal now and I can't wait to go to sleep with it tonight.

Channel: Angelic League of Light in Council to Twinflames

Angelic League of Light in Council to the Twinflames channeled through EstaRa in Rocky Hill, CT on Thursday, August 4th, 2011 at 9:30 a.m.

I asked if spirit had a message for me today and that is what I am sharing with you. (It is somewhat personal; but it is intended for a larger audience as stated in the message. It has specific guidance for twinflames.) By the way, I have never channeled this group before (I don't think) and I feel so honored to get this message today and it was so needed for me as a reminder.



Yes, dear one we do. We always have words of wisdom to impart to you. You are loved. You are loved beyond your human mind’s capability to grasp this love. You are exactly where you are meant to be. We say do not put energy into worrying about your move. We say do not put energy into fear of where the money is coming from. We say do not put energy into worrying about how Hawaii will happen. All will happen according to the divine plan. Your spirit self knows that which we speak of today.

Today, we ask you to focus only on divine love that you wish to experience. Your focus must be on what you wish to experience. You are not able to connect to your beloved or his life at this time due to the circumstances he is in. Dear one, he is safe and protected for he is to be with you –however, his world is colliding and collapsing in duality. He must be brought to you by way of divine love. He has tried in the human way as have you, dear one. Now it is time to trust in the divine and see what miracles will transpire. It is with love, honor and respect that we bring you this message today.

Dear one, your reunion with your beloved other half is imminent—all is in perfect divine order—for this is the year of the twinflame reunions—we ask you to see the signs for they are posted for all to see. If you stay in the divine knowing that love is the experience you wish to choose then you will see our message undoubtedly. You will see what is necessary for your path. Listen within your heart and trust in the love you know to be the truth. The twin love is necessary to bring this planet into the changes that are transpiring—you are not alone on this path—many are following—many are ready for reunification—it that is what you desire you must trust your heart. We say do not get caught in your mind for there it will unravel what you feel and know to be true. This message should be shared for the beloved ones need to prepare by only staying in the heart which is why you feel the need to be alone and way from many people who allow themselves to be trapped in 3D. We ask you to be selective of those you spend time with. Trust in this guidance as it will feel like a remembrance of truth for you and assist you in knowing how you spend your time. It is a joy to work with you beloved, Estara. It is a joy to see you grow into who you truly are—an Earth Star Angel---that is your name E star A. it is with light, love and honor we bring you this message. We are with you ALWAYS. Even in those moments you feel we are not there.


We are the Angelic League of Light in Council to the Twinflames.

Inspirational Snippet: Trust in the Divine Plan

Good Morning. The sky is the most beautiful blue painted with whimsical white clouds that look like angels dancing in the wind. I had an appointment cancel last evening which worked out to my benefit because I got the opportunity to sit outside and read in the evening air. I loved it!! I don’t often get to do that so the first thing is that I am grateful for my cancellation. While I was sitting outside reading, I found a passage that really resonated with me and I wanted to share it with all of you.

The book is “Emmanuel’s Book”, the passage:

“How can we stop worrying about the ones we love? By trusting the absolute wisdom of each soul. Worry is distrust put into a slot that seems socially acceptable. If you say, “I am worried about my children,” everyone says, “Yes, of course,” and thinks you are a good parent. But if you should say, “I really don’t trust the Divine Plan,” what do you think the reaction would be?”

This passage really spoke to me because of what is happening on the earth at this time. My guides have been preparing us to stay in the balance and the love regardless of what is happening around us. As I read this, it was quite the reminder, but really hit home with the last part for me. I think for me this week, my new mantra will be: “I TRUST THE DIVINE PLAN”. That should cover about all of it.

This has been an important reminder for me with some recent events in my personal life too. I am grateful for the reminder—hope you are too. Trusting in the divine plan is by far one of the most beautiful gifts you can give yourself and the ones you love. It simply means you TRUST. I trust each of you to find your truth within you and I trust in the wisdom of your soul.

Be love,
EstaRa

Whisperings of EstaRa

We are now sitting outside the Temple at Abydos waiting for the others to arrive. We are getting ready to have lunch at this little hut--yes that is what it looks like I have to say. It is an outdoor restaurant. We are sitting having some "boiled mint". No more mint tea here because we have found that mint tea is black tea with a few pieces of mint thrown in there so we have learned to ask for "boiled mint".

I am still in awe at the experience in the Temple. Our mission in this temple was to go where we felt we needed to be to bring light. We were told by the P's "Some may go in groups and some may go by themselves to different chambers to bring light." We were also guided to sing our name in the frequency there. Solara An Ra channeled that 22 of us had been in this Temple before and I feel like I was definitely one of them. Well, I know I was, but I wasn't there as April or as Ra'chel. BUT I was there as someone else.

About 6 months ago in July of 2010, I had done a meditation and spoke to my highest self and was given the star name of "EstaRa". It didn't resonate with me then, but today it did! We were asked to sing our name to activate our energy with the frequency of Abydos. I was walking through the temple, I was humming love, love, love and then I felt ready to sing my name. I started to sing "Ra'chel" and it didn't come out very well, but I kept hearing "EstaRa" in my head. Someone was calling out to me and they were calling me my name...I began to sing "EstaRa". My whole body began to tingle and cover with the energy. It enveloped my body. Oh my goodness. At this point, I was alone singing "EstaRa" it felt so right. What did not resonate with me last summer was somehow transforming my very being at the moment I was singing "EstaRa".

I haven't told anyone as of yet--it would be too confusing for me. I mean they are calling me Ra'chel and I am already April and to add a third name, really?? Oh my goodness. Anyway, there is a lot for me to digest today. I am EstaRa. I have to see how that feels and try it on at some point. It feels really good inside.

Inspirational Snippet: Gratitude

I woke up this morning to this quote in my inbox this morning and it really resonated and makes me want to share it with you all.

"You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life. And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you."--Sarah Ban Breathnach

This quote really does speak for itself. It is that simple to live a life of abundance and experience. I also find that in my daily life when things may not be the way I would like them I can often get stuck in that energy, but if I remember to look around my life and see all that I am grateful for it quickly fixes my mood. If you are having one of those days and look around your home and can't access that feeling of gratitude, take a walk or a drive and begin to look at nature and feel the gratitude for what is seen in nature like; thank you for the sun shining, thank you for the bunny hopping in the backyard, thank you for the clear blue sky above, thank you for the waving of the trees in the wind. It really is that simple. And yes, it may not seem too comfortable at first, but I promise if you keep it up even when you feel icky it will really help you!

Be in love,
EstaRa

Abydos--the Cool Picture Part

I don't know what else to label this entry as yet other than Abydos. Such a small name for such a big experience. Wow!! So when we get off the bus after a bit of a ride from Luxor, I see up ahead the entrance to the temple. And yes, if you guessed stairs again, you are correct? I am going to have a great butt and legs after this trip with all the climbing and walking. hahaha They sure ache at the end of the long day.
We had our mission to ground light from Core Crystal to Great Central Sun and then the opposite 3 times each.

We first were given the guided tour from Setep En Ra. He really has been a marvelous tour guide and so helpful to our group. Here are pictures depicted on the ceiling. Can you see the helicopter? Can you see the submarine?
It really is incredible when you think about it that these depictions are of things we can recognize? Amazing and so intact still too! This is a great pic from DebRa...if you look closely enough the ball of light(the sun coming in) looks like an angelic being...I see wings, do you??

This is the cool picture part, but stay tuned for the really cool part and a glimpse of EstaRa that is up next...

Magic Magic Are We The 33

The Temple at Abydos is one of Solara An Ra's favorites. She talked to us about it and told us that depicted on the outside wall is the FLower of Life. She also told us that there are some great wall depictings. I have to say as we drive there on our way I am getting a little overcooked on temples. This is the second to the last one. I hope when this trip is over that I will remember what is what, but who knows after awhile sand and temple are beginning to look a lot alike.

Solara just channeled her guides and they let us know that we are not alone. Her guides informed us that not only are her guides with us, but our guides (each one of us) are with us. They said we are not just 33 on this trip, but we are 33 times more powerful than just one on this trip. It is interesting to think about us as this powerful, but each of us alone is extremely powerful and if you put us all together well you got it all then! The P's say we are 1000's of time more powerful...Magic--Magic--Magic.

Our mission is three-fold: 1. to ground light from the Great Central Sun to the Core crystal here three times and then three times up from the Core Crystal up to the Great Central Sun. 2: sing our name in this place (using sound as a mechanism to tap into our soul. 3. Well not really three--I just add it...get pictures of the depictions of a helicopter and submarine. These were created in ancient times, could they have known then? Was it a vision of the future? Or did they have them and humanity just lost that technology? hmmm

Did I tell you that I have since decided to take the sleeper train back to Cairo? hahaha Yes, of course I did! But just making sure you were paying attention. Besides I'm not worried about it, can you tell? hahaha Of course, I am worried, but all is as it should be as my guides so kindly, not so gently remind me from time to time.

Seed of Doubt

I woke up early this morning because I had an early start to bed last night. I feel so much better having had some sleep. It is not as early of a day. I opted out of the hot air balloon ride because I really want to spend my money on the trip to Alexandria it is calling me.

Some people did go on the hot air balloon ride so we have a lil later start waiting until everyone arrives from the ride. I am going to go to breakfast and see if I can see the balloons from the breakfast window. DebRa went out on the hot air balloon ride.

Breakfast was nice. I sat with some different people today. I sat with Ezserial. ? Spelling? oh well, don't know how to spell her name, but it sounds like that. :) It was a nice breakfast. I was still teary eyed this morning and breakfast of course brought more tears to me. She asked about the tears and I told her that a lot of it had to do with everything in my life, but most importantly with my twin. She put a little damper on it and said that maybe he is just not ready and maybe this isn't the life that we are meant to come together. It put a seed of doubt in my mind. I am back in my room in tears. Why do I give my power away so easily?

As I sit here writing this, I realize I gave my power away so easily to someone else's view. (As I am editing this journal entry I realize that I did truly give my power away. I mean I so easily listened to what the person had to say and allowed it to impact my thinking and place that seed of doubt in my mind despite everything I know to be true inside of me.) Here I am negating the towel in the shape of a heart on my bed the night before (a sign) and the most important sign was the experience at the Temple of Edfu. How could I not listen to that? And, yet here I am crying and believing what this person is saying about how I shouldn't wait and perhaps I am wasting my time.

(The interesting thing is that as I am transferring this from journal to blogpost I am aware that I wrote the seed of doubt was in my mind not my heart. That is a valid point, but my mind does wonder how much longer this will have to take? Shouldn't the time be now? I mean I feel like everything should have happened by now which is probably why I allowed the seed of doubt in. )

I am going to start putting things away in the suitcase because we will have just enough time to get our luggage out into the common area before dinner and then we head off to the sleeper train. Oh dear God, please let the sleeper train be sleepable! hahaha You think I am kidding, but I'm not. I know my pictures of the last train did not give you any real hint as to how nasty it was, but I sure hope my writing did. :)

Off I go...I have two more temples to see today before the day is over...
