Expressions of Gratitude & Amazement

Over the past 5 or 6 days, my life has been magical. Okay, I just checked my last blog and realized that it's been since November 17th, so actually 9 days! Wow!

Something inexplicable has occurred to propel me forward in a subtle yet powerful way.

Maybe it was the completion of the 42 days of cultivating gratitude at the World Gratitude Forum. Maybe it was that I did a lot of healing work for people in a short time. Maybe it was from reading Julia Rogers-Hamrick's daiy Easy World Power Thought every morning. Or maybe it was that I just gathered enough momentum from all the self-growth I've been doing.

Honestly, I think it was all of the above. The more I focus on cultivating gratitude and creating the life I want for myself, the more it happens. The more I allow Source energy / life force to flow through me, the more alive I feel and the more joy I experience.

Whatever happened, 9 days ago my reality changed for the better. It's not that I haven't had this happen for me before. But I've learned that when I celebrate the little things as well as the big things in my life that I appreciate, I open the door for more.

I just looked back at my gratitude list/journal for the past 9 days and beyond, and it's really quite amazing all I've accomplished and all I've been grateful for. In the midst of some pretty unpleasant stuff, I've been able to keep my main focus on things like sunlit snowy branches and giggles with my daughter.

The interesting thing is, the unpleasant stuff is diminishing and I find myself smiling all the time. And there is this amazing feeling I can hardly explain, if at all, that Abraham-Hicks describes as something like "experiencing the power that creates worlds." I'll give you an example.

Today in the recording studio, I was working on one of my favorite contemporary tunes, a sort of gospel-influenced acoustic number about being in the flow of Source energy. When it was time for me to record my more freestyle wailing parts for the song, something inside me just opened up. I was able to do some blues riffs with my voice that I've never done before, my voice picked up extra energy from somewhere and my inner experience was - well, it was light and lightness.

Yes, indescribable, truly - but I can't resist the desire to share it with you! I could feel a living energy rising from inside my solar plexus, like liquid light, rising up and out of my mouth in the form of sound. An amazing feeling. It was a feeling of total connectedness with Creator and my spirit, like a merging of all of me and All That Is, and a vocal expression of that connection.

The thing is, why I'm sharing this is because I know everyone can achieve this state! We all have special talents even if they are still hidden from our consciousness. And when we align with our true being, these talents spill out joyfully into the world. It's like a circular chain reaction. Our joyful self-expression creates more joy in us and around us and the joy continues to grow and spread.

I don't think I've experienced this quite the same for so long before. I do remember writing in my diary quite a few years ago about having a similar experience during a walk, but it sure didn't last for days on end!

So I want to end this with absolute gratitude, joy and a serenity that spreads into a wide smile and light in my eyes, hopefully to be reflected in your eyes and even further.

Thank you for reading my ramblings and I hope for you an equally awe-inspiring, unforgettable life-affirming positive experience... every day!

Struck by Nature's Beauty

Have you ever been suddenly struck by the beauty of something created by Nature? The picture above doesn't do the real scene I observed justice at all, but I wanted to share with you what I saw...

I'm sitting here in my home office, looked out the window and was left speechless and motionless for a few moments as tears came to my eyes. Why?

We got quite a bit of snow yesterday and overnight, pretty much a blizzard or what the weather people refer to as a snow squall. But now, outside my window is a scene I wish my windows outside were clean enough to take a picture of.

I see a perfectly blue sky with a couple of tiny wispy clouds floating into view. To the left of that, the tops of two huge maple trees with just a few leaves clinging to the last bit of summer.

Branches in the top left corner of my window are coated in sunlit snow and I can't even put to words the true miracle of beauty I am witnessing. If you're a photographer even as hobby, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. It's just one of those "kodak moments", undeniably.

The past 3 days have been filled with miracles for me, and this is one more to add to my absolute delight.

Do you ever stop in the middle of the sidewalk and look up to see what's there? Can you hear the birdsong over the traffic? When my daughter was just 3 years old, she taught me to do this and now I do it all the time.

On many clear days, when there are just enough ice crystals and water vapour in the stratosphere, I see rainbows around the sun. I've even seen a triple one twice! I get to catch sight of a rainbow seconds after the rainfall. I'm the one walking in the rain with a smile. Why?

I have been looking up at the sky, listening to the sounds of nature even in the noisy city of Toronto, and looking at the ground with such great interest and intrigue that I can't help but know what will cause a rainbow and where to look. And I swear, sometimes Source just gifts me with a perfect picture such as this one. The moment is over for the glistening trees but it inspired me to write this so I can share with you the sheer glee we call can feel if we allow it.

Overwhelming waves of gratitude are washing over me now, just because I took a few moments out of my busy day to appreciate the glimpse of remarkable beauty that Nature has offered me.

Yes, now I'm ready to go give that Medicine Song Circle, offering traditional Aboriginal healing and and interactive drumming/singing/sharing circle to the community that has supported me for so many years now.

I can feel the life force coursing through me - and that is a magical feeling I will now carry into my healing work today.

To Creator/Source/All That Is...
Chi Miigwech! Many Thanks!

I urge you to take even 2 minutes out of your day after reading this to look up in the sky - and look at it as if you were at a famous museum viewing an incredible piece of art.

11/11 Gateway to Truth

If you're reading this, you probably feel or know a special significance to the number 1111. It is a gateway, to remind us to plug in to our spirit and believe that anything is possible. We can use it reach a connection with our true being and bring ourselves more into alignment with a fuller Self-expression.

I took this photo on the plane en route to Penticton, BC. Orbs are fascinating to me, and out of about 200 pictures I took from the plane, this is one of the few that shows any orbs. They remind me that energy is everywhere, all the time, and I also have learned that they only seem to show up at times when there is great joy and especially laughter. In other words... higher frequency energy.

Some are saying this 11/11 - November 11th, 2008 - holds further significance and is directly related to 8/8/8 - August 8th, 2008.

We keep getting so many wonderful influxes of new energy to help us in this global reality shift, so this doesn't surprise me. Also, I had written a recent Spirit-guided (the words came through my crown chakra like my songs do) blog entry that something big and positive was coming for us all between the beginning of Fall and early November. I later felt that by mid-November, we would be in the midst of it.

Because I don't watch the news or follow politics - and I'm Canadian - I didn't know when the American election was or anything much about the candidates, until an email list I'm on started generating a lot of hype about it in late October. Then I started paying a bit of attention.

When Barack Obama was elected president of the United States of America, I could physically feel the high frequency energy - the love and gratitude - of huge numbers of people radiating throughout the universal energy field. I asked my higher consciousness if this election was the 'big happening' I had written about, and the answer was yes.

I wrote in my private journal about it and right afterward, had the feeling that this was only a part of it. I can see that November 11th is also a part of this 'big happening'.

I would suggest that the window of time between now and November 11th will be a most amazing time to let go of lingering negative messages, self-doubt, fear, anger, or any self-limiting beliefs you may still hold. And from November 11th to 15th, focus on embracing your spirit... who you truly are. Do something that brings you joy! Think about all you're grateful for. Fill yourself with gratitude and love.

If you haven't yet, you might want to view my 888 videos here:

888 Part 1
888 Part 2

or sign up to my list (top right corner of this page) to get the full live mp3 recording of the 08/08/08 Awakening global healing event I did along with Kiernan Antares. It will help you attune yourself to these new higher frequency energies, and also help you let go of some of the negative energy (self-doubt, fear, anger) you may have accumulated. Participants of this event - both global and local - received positive benefits and felt more energized, refreshed, lighter and some even had beautiful spiritual experiences and/or visions.

This is a very special time for everyone on Mother Earth. While many use this day to remember the people who fought in the wars, I choose to change that focus and reserve my honouring of the ancestors for the traditional time of October 31st.


So this is still most definitely a Remembrance Day, but instead of a somber focus on our war-torn history, I choose to meditate and reflect on peace, love and gratitude.

At 11:11 am and pm, in your own time zone, I would suggest you take at least that minute to empty your mind, connect to your spirit and just breathe deeply. There are so many ways to meditate and perhaps in your area, there might even be a meditation group for this special time, but I do encourage you to connect in your own way at these times, or just any time you remember to, throughout the day.

If you like, listen to my song "Gateway to Truth" in the music player here at my blog (the right sidebar). You can also download it for FREE, right from the little music player. There is some information about the song in my last blog entry, to help you connect even more deeply and get more healing benefits from it.

Just imagine... you'll be joining thousands or perhaps millions of people who are praying or focusing on peace and our ascension to our higher frequency "new Earth" at this time.

FREE NATIVE HEALING SONG

I just added a song to my MySpace profile. It's from my album Thunder Mountain Healing Songs. This is a pre-studio version, so you can download it for FREE.

*Please note that MySpace music players are still buggy, so I've uploaded the song also to my ReverbNation page. No need to sign up to access and download the song.

Enjoy! And please share this with anyone who might appreciate an uplifting moment of...

* releasing blockages from your throat chakra/energy centre
* connecting with your truth
* finding your voice

This song is a wordless chant sung with a Native hand drum. It came to me (Brenda MacIntyre, Medicine Song Woman) as a result of my journey to a women's water ceremony on Thunder Mountain, near Elliot Lake Ontario. There I received visions, healing and many songs and teachings, which carried on for weeks after I returned home.

This collection of songs is great for meditation. It's a blend of relaxation, rejuvenation and release, inspired by rain and thunder and given to Brenda (channeled) directly from the ancestors. It comes with an E-Book to help you get optimum healing benefits from each song.
