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...

Spread Love Campaign--I Need Your Help!

The Mission: To Spread Love All Over the Earth This Summer

An idea popped into my head recently, won't you join me?

When I returned from Egypt, I came back with the knowing that my mission on earth was to teach love, be love, live love. A couple weeks ago, I was sitting on a park bench in New York (I'm in New York on Sundays and Mondays) thinking how do I reach the multitude of people that are so oblivious to life and even more closed off to love. As many of you are aware, I find hearts everywhere on my path practically everyday and it always brings joy to my heart and a smile to my face even in the wake of a bad day. As I sat on the bench, I reached down and grabbed a white rock, drew a heart near my foot and hoped it would bring a smile to anyone who saw it. So, I thought what if....

I Write Spread Love...

I Draw a Heart...

Dear Lightworkers,

You often ask what else can you do to bring love here on earth now....well here is the plan...WHAT IF...we all did this? What if all summer long each and everyone of you and all the people you know, bought a bucket of sidewalk chalk and started to spread love? What if we created Love Graffitti? What if we tapped into our inner child and created magic everywhere we step our feet? What if we each had a role this summer to spread love, light, peace and hope to everyone on the earth? What if this is how we begin to celebrate Independence Day here in the US? What if this is the Lightworker Love Revolution we have been waiting for?

What If You Want to Participate? How, you ask? Simple. Buy a box of chalk and have at it. Whereever you are walking down a road or on a sidewalk, carry a piece of chalk with you and get inspired to draw, write or create love using words or symbols. Be creative: Pink is for Love so draw hearts, write "Spread Love". Blue is for Peace so draw the peace sign, write "Be Peace". Green is for Hope and Yellow/White is for Light. Make Magic Happen Here on Earth. Spread the Word. Teach Your Kids. Who doesn't want a little love? The best part is..., it washes off in the rain so no one can really complain. So let's make this summer a LOVE REVOLUTION.

LIKE the facebook fan page: SPREAD THE LOVE CAMPAIGN. Here you can spread the word, share stories and pictures of your experiences... I can't wait to see this expand globally. Let's make it happen--I need your help I can't do it alone.

In deep love and gratitude, EstaRa

The earth needs you to be love. Won't you join the mission? The goal is to get everyone spreading love. Sign on to the facebook group through Soul Star Healing's Fan Page.

The Spread Love Campaign Code is Easy. Pink = Love, Blue = Peace, Green = Hope, Yellow/White = Light

Start spreading Love, Peace, Light and Hope Today. Get the mission out there! Share it with your friends, family and neighbors. Forward this email if you must.

Across the Nile to the Alabaster Store We Go

I am back in the hotel room now hours later. So our journey to the boat, and yes it was a journey. We ended up walking down to the Nile from our hotel. (Mind you I have been so tired lately that the walk was a little bit of an effort.) We walked the shorter way to the Nile than we did the night before which was a good thing . However, we walked to one dock and the boat wasn't there so we walked to the next one. There was only about 8 of us going to the Alabaster Museum. We finally found the right dock and we had to walk down these really dangerous steps that weren't really steps more like a narrow, long vertical climb with skinny planks of wood made to look like steps. hahaha

As if that were not dangerous enough for a group of people on little sleep, we had to climb aboard one board to climb into another boat on the other side. Yes, in case you were wondering what that all meant: we used a boat as a walkway to the boat we were going to take. Talk about scary, this all happened in the dark of the night.

Then we sailed across the Nile at night in the beautiful evening air. It was quite magical after you get over the fact of how we got onto the boat. When we made it onto the other side we had to walk up that slightly angled vertical walk again to get to the top where there was a cab waiting to pick us up. It was a little bit of a drive to the store.

When we got there, we had a private appointment for us to look around. There were so many things to choose from. I knew immediately what I wanted to buy. A white alabaster pyramid and a statue of the Goddess Bastet.

However, like all of us, I had to be cautious of the amount of money I was spending there so it took some time in deciding what to buy. I mean there was so much that I would want it I could afford more, but the most important thing was to buy what I wanted to be used in my office.

I made my decision fairly quick which as most of you know that when I am purchasing something if I am meant to have it there is no question it happens quick and when I am not sure I need something it takes forever and I don't buy anything. So there I sat waiting for others to make up their mind. Meanwhile, the shopkeepers started to smoke and it made me sick. I can't believe how yucky I felt. The slight headache became even worse. I was starting to really feel sick. I couldn't wait to leave.

But I left there purchasing the alabaster pyramid. Here is a picture of one I found online
(This isn't the one I purchased as mine is white and sits in the middle of my office altar. If you want to see it, you just might have to come to my office.)

I also chose the Goddess Bastet statue.
This Goddess is Joy, Music, Health and Healing. The most important gift from this Goddess is protection. (My Bastet Statue greets you at the entrance to my office and protects the office especially while I am not there.)

Finally, we were able to leave the store and get away from the smoke. I don't think I have been around that kind of smoke in so long and I feel my immune system is a little low from not eating healthy and from crying all day. My headache has gotten worse now I am feeling nausea.

We made our way back to the boat. I took a small empty water bottle with me so we can capture some water from the Nile. The boat stopped in the middle of the Nile so I could scoop up water from the Nile to take home with me. I was able to get quite a bit of water and when I arrived back to the hotel I gave some to a few different people.

We made it back to the hotel with about a half hour before we had our group gathering. I came back to my room and thought I would take a 30 minute nap so that I could go to the meeting, but I missed it again. I just woke up a few minutes ago which is about an hour after the meeting started. I suppose I could technically go upstairs to the roof for the meeting, but I felt like I wanted to journal a little bit and my headache is still there, but much better.

Now, I am getting ready to go back to sleep. I am really missing my twin. I wish he were here with me. I feel so distant from him. I hope he is missing me too. In some ways, I can't wait to come back to Egypt with him. I always believed my trip to Egypt would be with him. Perhaps, someday it will be....

For now, I will dream of him tonight and go to sleep...it is time.

A Towel of Love

It has been such a long day today. I really would love a nap, but there is still more to do. I want to go to the Alabaster Museum (which is really a place to shop). It is planned to go in about an hour. We are taking a boat to cross the Nile over to the Alabaster Museum because it truly is the quickest way to get across the River.

I have been crying so much today that I feel exhaustion is setting in. I have only had a few moments of no tears. My eyes feel tired, physically I feel tired. I have a slight headache. I just made it back to the room to freshen up a bit before heading out again and there on my bed is a beautiful heart shaped towel. Oh yes, more tears. But to see this is just what I needed. I see hearts when I need them in everything and now here it is on my bed.

My roommate had a swan on her bed that actually looked more like a snake coming out of the bed. I am so grateful that my bed was the heart because it spoke volumes to me. I feel like it is my soul (my twinsoul) giving me the message of love. It was so magical and it has given me enough steam to get going and meet everyone downstairs for our trip to the Alabaster Museum. I am so excited about this. I really want to get some statues to go home with me and this is probably my one and only opportunity since I didn't shop last night.

Thank you Universe for sending me love.

Channeled Message: Balance Must Come to the Earth

Message from the Masters of Light, June 18, 2011 in Middletown, CT. This message came during a Reiki Level II Attunement.

Greetings, Dear Ones,

We gather here with you today on your day of attunement. EstaRa is preparing herself for the initiation for each of you. Each of you shall experience a personal healing today and a personal attunement. The healing will be to remove any blockages from receiving the divine light, dear ones. We wish to tell you that while you are here, there are things happening to the earth, dear ones. Your attunement will bring you closer in connection to the earth. You will experience the earth changes as well. Each of you is on a path of light and dear ones, as you move forward on this path, you will know in which way you must go. You will know in which direction to take your life for it will change for each of you. Do you feel the brightness of the light as it comes into this room at this moment, dear ones? That is intentional for you to feel the light surrounding you as we speak to you.

There are those of you that are feeling sadness and grief inside. It is okay, dear one. It is okay; for that is your releasing and it is necessary for you to feel all that you have been feeling so that you can make room for the energy that is coming to you today, dear one. EstaRa is not even aware of the attunement that she will be receiving today. Her body has been preparing all week for this attunement. She too, is to expect changes in her life, as well. It is imperative that each of you nurture your soul, for your soul knows that in which it desire in this time and space. This time and space upon your earth is filled with fear and chaos, dear ones, but you can be above the fear and chaos if you choose to be above the fear and
chaos. It is important that you make that choice, for going forward on your earth, much is going to happen that will unravel you if you allow it to. That is why, dear ones, EstaRa teaches balance and we remind her to teach balance, balance, balance in your lives.

It is time, dear ones, that balance come to the earth; it is time, dear ones, for you to step into your rightful role as lightworker, as a warrior of the light. We need you to help us bring the earth into ascension. The earth has been evolving into ascension for some time now, dear ones, but we need you lightworkers to
step into your roles of light and to let go of the chains of fear and the past that have bound you to the place you are in or have been in; the places you are trying to stand up and rise above. It is time, dear ones, for we need you. You are our ground crew. You are the ones you have been waiting for. We will support you and your journey. We are here to support you and your journey. You are not alone,
dear ones and there are many more of you than you can imagine. And you will find each other soon. Soon, the voice of light will get louder and soon, you will see the changes that occur that are necessary for ascension.

The time is now, dear ones. The time is now. Trust in your path and heal all that is in the way. Release all that keeps you chained and locked in to 3D. Release those chains upon you, for when you release them and when you heal them, they can no longer come back. You may be wondering why it is things keep coming back; we know EstaRa wonders at times, as well. They keep coming back because they have not been permanently released from your auric field and your karma. Now is the time you can release all that you need to. If you so choose, dear ones, that means seriously looking at your lives: what is no longer working for each of you? Take a look at it and change it to fit what your soul desires inside of you. You do know that which we speak. We feel you know that which we speak of, including EstaRa.

You have been gifted with this message today for it more than just an attunement; it is a healing that you will be receiving today. It is love, honor, and respect that we bring this message of light.

We are the Masters of Light.
Namaste.
