Healing Sounds like a Rainbow

Being a sound and energy healer opens me to all kinds of spiritual experiences when I allow myself to be a clear channel for song.

Today I've been exploring the gift of sound and my daughter has been helping me by telling me about my aura as I sing.

I've spent my entire morning sounding because I wanted to clear my sinuses, warm up my voice to practice my new songs and tune my body, literally. Before I get into all of this, I need to say that my daughter, who sees aura, told me that when I began humming, my aura immediately changed into constantly moving rainbow colours and as soon as I stopped, the colour changed right back to light green and turquoise blue.

I was so intrigued by this that I decided to sit with my pitch pipe and see what else is happening with harmonic overtones when I hum.

I discovered that I can create several harmonic overtones with each note I hum. I remember a singer from The Wyrrd Sisters doing this at a festival and she called her technique Tuvian throat singing or something. This was about 10 years ago. I was so fascinated and especially because I found if I put my tongue in different positions inside my mouth, I could do the same thing - not nearly as skillfully as she could but this impacted me. I never forgot it.

Now this skill is impacting me in my work as a healer.

I am aware that when I sing certain notes (like B, Bb, C, F# & G), I am able to get a super-deep connection to the Universe/Source, and that it happens every time when I am singing the note plus its octave (like middle C plus high C).

I feel my entire body vibrating after humming Bb, the way it vibrates when I'm about to go out of body.

Reminds me of when I was at Thunder Mountain and I could hear a deep, rich hum of high frequency tones and overtones that I knew was the vibration of Mother Earth.

What I found out today is that I can apparently hum more overtones than I thought - and when I say this, I'm talking about humming 2 very clear, concise notes at once. I realize there are also many many other notes (I can hear almost unending frequencies all at once, from the low end where we usually can hear and sing all the way up to sounds I could never consciously reproduce on their own) vibrating along with the main one I am singing and sometimes I can hear at least 3 distinct notes vibrating clearly over all the rest. At Thunder Mountain when spirits were singing songs to and with me, I could hear at least 5 distinct tones at once.

Today I realized when I am humming those specific notes, that the sounds coming from me are just like the sounds of the Universe that I hear when all is quiet and when I'm in between sleep and awake. Also, in the spiritual initiation experience I had with my Universal Love Attunement, I remember it sounding like a didgeridoo.

Now I completely understand that these sounds are all the same - the sounds of the Universe.

This is why my physical voice is so healing for people - because when I allow myself to be a clear channel for Source energy to flow through, I am in the stream of Universal Love / Source energy. But also my voice naturally vibrates in tune with the Universe - meaning I am literally one with the Universe when I sing or hum those specific notes. All those overtones, the clariy in my voice, it's all because of that connection.

My daughter confirmed for me today that when I hum, my aura changes to flowing rainbow colours. The rainbow colours are the vibrations coming from me.
Sound = Energy = Light

So this is just me pondering how my healing gifts work and how sound affects me as well as the people I assist through my healing work. But it's also the exploratory child in me just in absolute wonder at how it could be possible to hook into the Universal Stream of Love / Source Energy just by opening my mouth and sounding. I'm amazed and feel so incredibly grateful and honoured to be able to use my voice in this way.

What happens for someone in a healing session is, I sing the frequencies the person's body and energy system needs. I am given a song or series of sounds from that Universal Stream that will break up energy blockages, re-align the person's body, balance their energy and sort of recalibrate their whole energy system.

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!

Love, Light & Gratitude,

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.

Spiritual Lessons from a Kettle & a Grocery Store

Did you know that when your kettle is plugged in, but turned off, it's still tapped into the electrical current through its connection to the outlet?

A seemingly random question but keep it in mind for a moment.

I've been feeling sort of flat, levelled off, just kind of... here. It occurred to me when I was standing in the kitchen a moment ago that I've been feeling like a kettle that's plugged in but not turned on.

Check this out...

You know when you feel really drained and like things just aren't working out? That happens to us human beings when we are unplugged - from our spirit and Source/Creator/God. Not a great feeling, right?

Now imagine this...

You go to a retreat, or a great concert... or you do something else that just makes you feel amazing. How do you feel now? Don't you feel like that kettle after the switch is turned on? Bubbling up with energy? Don't you feel warm and like you're even heating up deep inside?

Well, I've been feeling like I'm somewhere in between. I have been feeling connected to my spirit for the past couple of weeks but I still felt like my light wasn't on - except for a few bursts of energy in between. It's been challenging for me to stay consistently positive and motivated.

That's what I mean about the kettle. It's like I was plugged into Source - and I do most often feel that connection - and yet, I couldn't find the ON switch to really shine.

I've been feeling like "What's next?" It's as if I've been standing in that one lineup at the grocery store. You know the one... it seems like the shortest but ends up being the longest. Finally you move to another one, thinking it will be quicker but the second you switch to that lineup, it stops moving and the checkout clerk calls for a price check. And then the line-up you left begins to move, right?

I think that's what happens to us sometimes... we get impatient and just when things are about to move, we look for another solution. You know what that is? It's us trying to take control of the flow of life force. And we can't. Not from that standpoint anyway.

Sometimes the best option is to just be... wherever you are on your journey. Just be. Sometimes energy needs to be released for us to get switched back on. Sometimes what we're waiting for really is just right around the corner, if only we could sit in acceptance long enough to catch our breath before the real ride begins!

Maybe all my energy was being stored up for the last 3 conferences I performed and spoke at. Or maybe Creator was putting together a special package for me and I needed to slow down to allow its creation... and to notice it when it comes!

Anyway, my switch has been turned back on, so to speak. Right after I got a call from a new healing client, I felt the wonderful familiar sensation of exuberant life force surging through my whole being. I LOVE that feeling and I know it can only happen when I'm plugged into Source and my spirit, which is the natural electrical pathway/circuit for human beings... but it's more than just having that connection.

You have to switch on the kettle to get the water to boil. You have to feel that connection to Source and your spirit.

And even if you know the connection is there - you have to activate the circuit between you, your spirit and Source. The switch needs to be turned on. And you do that by bringing joy, love, laughter, excitement and passion into your life... and sometimes by just waiting, listening within and letting yourself feel that connection as it arrives.

It's interesting that I was just on a teleclass by spiritual author Julia Rogers-Hamrick a couple of nights ago and now I feel the energy flowing like this. Not a coincidence.

In her teleclasses, Julia always leads us first in a guided meditation on "radiating love", which is so simple and so powerful. And now I can feel that I'm radiating love automatically! I encourage you to try it out. Julia has instructions in her lastest newsletter.

Now I don't want to promote leaving your appliances plugged in, because it actually does waste electricity. But what I will say is this...

Elder and healer Joanne Dallaire once said in a workshop, "Plug in" to your spirit. Julia Rogers-Hamrick said to "radiate love." Once you do those two things, you will feel better right away, plus it will get easier and easier every time.

Love, Light & Levity,
Brenda

Fall Equinox Greeting Song - New Video

September 22nd is Fall Equinox here in North America, and I celebrated by channeling a song and recording it as the song came to me. Have a look...



Happy Fall Equinox!

Brenda

Finding Perspective

I took several pictures like this one of the sunrise, from the plane back to Toronto from BC last October. You know I never noticed the orbs in this one until just today?

Funny there aren't any orbs in the other pictures I took seconds before or afterward, but in this one, I can't even count them all. The first time I saw orbs, the skeptic in me was wondering if they were maybe an illusion caused by dust in the camera lens or something.

But now I can see them with my physical eyes with or without my glasses, so I know they're real. They always seem to show up where there are high vibrations like laughter, feelings of gratitude, love, amazement and joy. Here's a closeup.

Apart from the orbs, I just love the way the sunlight created several full spectra.

What interests me most is that each full spectrum is shaped just like the light crystals that were inserted into my energy system just before 08/08/08. What's even more interesting is that I pulled up this photo today - at a time when I can feel my energy shifting and have just had some bursts of inspiration and creativity.

Last week I got what was obviously a channeled message. It flowed out of me almost before the thoughts could form and I couldn't remember what I had written. I only knew it had to do with something big coming for us Earth beings. Anyway, I got tears in my eyes when I read it a few minutes ago, because now I understand what's been happening for me...

Yesterday was interesting. Everything was kind of "off balance" in my little world.

I was getting ready for a day out with my daughter and discovered I had hardly anything to wear. My daughter was coming down with a cold, so I let her sleep in even though the fashion show and our workshop started at 10am. So yeah, I had double-booked myself too!

I had a bizarre thought on the subway...

What if everyone on the subway were to suddenly just do whatever they would normally do when nobody was around?

And I was flooded with images of people dancing to their mp3s, talking to themselves, laughing out loud all by themselves, you get the idea. I shared this with my daughter and we both got laughing so much that we missed our stop.

The day continued like this... I felt like it was nearly impossible to focus, lost my sense of direction completely (not that it was great to begin with lol) and physically could feel my balance was off. I remember the moment it hit me that the Full Harvest Moon is coming up. I let go at that moment, realizing anything could happen, and the rest of the day felt better in all its quirkiness.

And that brings me back to the beginning of my blog when I uploaded that sunrise picture I took on a plane. I have hundreds of photos in about 12 folders on my computer. Coming across that particular photo today has sparked recognition in my spirit. Seeing those rainbow lights and orbs, and the way the photo has captured the motion of light... this is really stirring something in me. I won't be surprised if I have a vision, dream or spiritual moment in the next day or so.

How Spirit does express itself.

When I read through my blog from September 7th, I noticed I had written that the energy of the universe was going to become like a spiraling whirlpool for each of us, focusing all of our desires down through the centre and into our personal reality.

And now here I am getting another message from Spirit, that while this whirlpool of energy is being focused into manifesting our desires, it is also stripping us of anything we still need to release. No wonder last night I did a sketch about letting go, for my grant proposal! Have a look... and tell me what this image says to you.

Anyway, clearly this is a time to sit back and allow old stuff to bubble up and be released from wherever in your energy system you have blockages (chronic pain, depression, illness, etc.). I don't mean for you to consciously try and dredge up old pain, by the way. I mean if stuff does come up for you in the next little while, don't attach to it, and realize this is part of a much bigger process leading to more light for you.... and that light will be coming very soon!

I hope you have a wonderful week and find ways to relax into the final pull toward manifesting your personal Harvest.

Peace, Love & Light,
Brenda MacIntyre, Medicine Song Woman

Are You Ready to Celebrate?

Summer is gone, for students and stay or work-at-home parents, but Fall promises to be a time of celebration. But what on Earth would you celebrate?

Traditionally, Fall Equinox is a time of celebration for the harvest. Symbolically, that means it's a time to celebrate all our achievements, and all the desires we've been able to bring into reality.

In other words, right now is still a window of opportunity. When Fall Equinox comes around, what do you want to celebrate? What desires do you want to see fulfilled?

I've already been given a gift from the Universe, an unfolding manifestation of something I've wanted for a long while - and it's a pretty tall order. Receiving this gift - and the fact that I saw it, picked it up and am about to completely accept it - tells me that I'm on my path.

Sometimes when the Universe hands us a gift, we're so caught up in other things that we don't even see it for what it is, much less pick it up and say YES and Thank You! Well, this time I am saying a great big YES and a huge THANK YOU for this gift and I know it will propel me forward.

You'll have to wait until I have sealed the deal, so to speak, before I say what that gift is, but it's something that promises to propel me forward with all my goals, hopes and dreams for my career and life.

I'm writing this with tears of overwhelming gratitude as I ready myself to move forward at lightning speed toward transformation, light and a heightened ability to share my gifts of healing and music with more and more people. And that is just what I've been asking for.

I've heard from several sources - and received my own personal message from Spirit - that clarity is just around the corner. Also, this Fall is going to really deliver BIG on what we've been intending to manifest.

Another message is coming through as I write this. I see that when September 15th brings us the Harvest Full Moon, it will be like this:



Imagine all your prevalent thoughts, intentions, desires and feelings swirling clockwise, slowly around the widest edge of a funnel - not a tornado - imagine one of those funnels you use for cooking something, or imagine how the water goes down the drain in your bathtub when you release the plug... except what's going into the drain is positive, empowering and transformational.

Envision all those thoughts, feelings, intentions and desires spiraling and being pulled inward and down into the bottom point of the funnel, where it is all focused into something beautiful and remarkable for you, that will inspire you to actions you hadn't thought of before. This feels like what the Equinox will bring (September 22nd).

From what feels like September 22nd through October and into early November - this beautiful and remarkable gift will be released through that bottom hole into your reality. And it will inspire you to take actions you wouldn't have thought of. And these actions will take you very quickly into a place in yourself that is closer than ever before to what you truly want for your life. That's what I see happening for the Fall. The trick is to go with it, instead of resisting as many of us usually do.

And then this winter feels like it will be a true time of regeneration - something like what's happening right now for many of us - where we'll need to recuperate, slow down and come into acceptance of the great changes that have happened for us. But it will be longer than this short period is right now. This mirrors the season of winter, and if you can go with it, it can bring you much inspiration. And this winter in particular will be a time to begin to integrate our own transformations into our bodies and our lives.

I've been out of sorts for a little while and when I got my latest alert from whatsuponplanetearth.com, I read that we're in a sort of downtime phase of preparation. Reading these alerts always gives me confirmations and new understandings about what I'm experiencing. And then I can relax knowing what to expect (she has such accuracy!), which makes transitions much easier on me.

Since I read that alert and relaxed into what's happening, my healing gifts have begun a process of being enhanced again. How do I know this?

1. Since a few days ago, my hands have been giving off heat and healing energy constantly instead of just when I do a healing session

2. With my physical eyes (open), I'm now able to see orbs and the thick, pulsating, multidimensional field of life force surrounding us - it's hard to describe but I can see how nonphysical everything really is and how nothing is truly separate. I know that that's a paradox since quantum physics say that nothing is truly touching anything else, but it's the energy in between that connects us. It's like connective tissue that binds everything in the universe together.

3. Yesterday after I did a healing session, I got a healing of my own from Spirit. I could feel a surge of energy go through me from top to bottom and out through my feet.

4. I have a feeling I'm being worked on energetically.

5. I've also gotten the clear message that I am to begin giving readings soon as part of the work I do. I know I need further preparation and clarification before I do this but I sense that I'll be ready within a few weeks.

6. Another gift coming through is the ability to articulate what the wind and Spirit are telling me, and the visions I see, about what's happening in the universe, into a coherent description - like this blog today.

Right now is really a time to allow yourself to find your way back into alignment with your original purpose, and if you're already there, then it's time to integrate it more fully into your life. Many are feeling that urgency or a feeling of things being 'not quite right' and a need to know why. The thing is, we don't need to know the "why" or the "how".

It's funny... I've been hoping for the inspiration to write in this blog for about a week but nothing was coming to me. I was sort of frustrated about it but I knew it was to do with this time of preparation, so I just waited and trusted when the time is right, something will come.

Every time I remind myself that I don't need to know why or how things will happen or work out, and I consciously bring myself back into a feeling of gratitude or even just relief, miracles happen. And this Fall is going to bring plenty of miracles.

So get ready to celebrate!

Peace, Love & Light,

Water Medicine

WOW!!! I was just sitting here typing and saw something in the sky from my window in front of me here in my home office. I could not believe my eyes! It was a Great Blue Heron soaring gracefully.

That's a first! I've seen them down by the water but only once been surprised by a visit, and that was on Thunder Mountain when my friend, my daughter and I were on our way to a very special lake up on the mountain. The heron was right in our path, confirming for me that it was good medicine, the ceremony we were about to do.

Today though, seeing that blue heron brings me back into the studio last night, with percussionist Derek Thorne and bass player Dennis Mohammed. Derek was using a beautiful set of congas. I asked him what the hide was on top and he said probably steer for one of them. But then he pointed to the other, and he said it was from a Water Buffalo.

If you know me personally, or you've come to a performance or workshop of mine, you'll know that water is very important to me. I have a song "Water From the Sky" that brings rain for healing, that I channeled instantly as I stood in the pouring rain on purpose to heal my headache just before I left for Thunder Mountain. I have another water song called "Crystal Clear" that will be on my next album and it also came instantly when I was performing at a spiritual gathering.

I always talk about being thankful for your water, how that feeling of gratitude can actually change the physical properties of the water, and even create healing water.

Well, last night when Derek was drumming his heart out on those congas, I felt tears of gratitude welling up in my eyes at the thought of having water medicine - that water buffalo spirit - on this album. And now this blue heron shows up. What are the odds that I'd be sitting here at my desk at the exact time that waterbird flew over my rooftop?

Nothing is a coincidence. And I can see a crystalline thread weaving together several occurrences, a sudden spontaneous chain of insights this afternoon that I felt driven to share with you here.

It also brings me back to think about how as soon as I left the studio yesterday to get us lunch, it began to rain and continued even as the sun shone the entire way to my destination. And that lead me to think about how we've had perhaps the most rain and thunder ever in a summer here in Toronto.

Do you see? Ever since I started to work on this CD after a5 month hiatus, I've been surrounded by water medicine. In the Anishnabe (Ojibwe) culture, the elders are always saying that water is the first medicine. During childbirth, the water comes first. At our full moon ceremonies, water is honoured.

We know water is a direct representation of the divine feminine principle. Water is about receptivity, flowing emotion, movement and giving birth. It's about finding clarity, being refreshed with new energy, allowing yourself to receive the blessings you give birth to - not just babies, but new desires, creations, manifesfations.

Right now I'm feeling overwhelming gratitude for the medicine of water, and I'm realizing that this CD called Medicine Song that I'm working on is going to be overflowing with water medicine. Even the location of the studio... right down by the waterfront. What a blessing.

Another insight occurs to me. Of course we would need more rain, more snow, more water right now. Mother Earth is in a healing and cleansing time. Water naturally moves energy. And we all need to be drinking more water as a result of these new energies flowing into and around our Mother Earth.

So this is what that great blue heron reminds me of today, and as I type this, I can see we are indeed going to get more water again today, as blue-grey clouds move together above me and the dance of the maple leaves shifts and changes every few moments.

Do you know what I'm going to say next?

Drink some water... but before you do, please feel gratitude in your heart and offer that gratitude to your water. And guess what? It has just started to rain.

Peace, Love & Light,
Brenda

Clarity is Coming

Greetings!

Today is a day of further clearing for me, after the intense energies of yesterday and the day before flooding my whole being with so much light. So I'm sitting here drinking cedar water to help me release whatever might come up. I encourage you to drink an abundance of water in the following week to help you move this energy through you.

I'm excited. Really excited. And yet I can't even bring to mind what I'm excited about... it's a feeling of anticipation. Whenever I feel like this, something really big and really good is about to happen.

And my mind is saying "What could possibly top the past 2 days?!?" Well, I'll get back to that...

Last night's 08/08/08 Awakening event was truly amazing. I had been feeling the energy cresting all week. I felt like I was in the middle of an expanding bubble that was about to burst and spread positive energy everywhere. I think instead of bursting, that bubble just kept on expanding all night. In my sleep, I kept having cold and hot flashes, which is - well it never happens, this is the first time!

Today - for me - that bubble burst. All day it's been thunderstorming. And I LOVE it. Rain and thunder are very healing when you have respect and gratitude for them. The rain and thunder together come to cleanse Mother Earth and release built up pressure... in the air but also in us. And yesterday was one big build-up of energy!

One of the last songs I sang last night was Water From the Sky, upon request. That song brings rain when I sing it in ceremony, so I sang it a bit different and intended for it to rain today and not last night. Who knows if that song was responsible for today's rain or not, but either way, I am grateful for it.

Preparing for 080808

I don't know about you, but when I take in and begin to generate high levels of positive energy, emotions can come up to be released. Have you ever laughed so hard you cried? Or felt so happy or proud that tears came up? Those are healing tears. In my preparation for 08/08/08 Awakening, I had been doing meditation and other activities to raise my frequency and release what I no longer needed. And I released a lot of healing tears.

On August 7th, I went for a massage and ended up getting a miraculous energy activation. When I saw light coming out of what appeared to be holes all over my body, space was being made for me to receive light of a higher frequency (see blog post of August 7, 2008), and to make my body a clearer channel for the song and other energy to flow through.

One of the things I was doing was reading high vibration material on the Internet. I had just been looking at my friend Kiernan's blog when she called me on the phone. We'd been emailing back and forth about similar spiritual experiences in relation to this new energy.

Ever since we met in relation to a mutual television appearance and event we both presented at in the spring, I've had a feeling of spiritual synergy between Kiernan and me. We've recently had conversations about possibly working together in some way. And last night that synergy was taken to a whole new level through our healing work.

When Kiernan said she'd be coming to the 08/08/08 Awakening event, I invited her to share if and how she felt moved to. When she arrived, we didn't even need words to communicate how charged the energy was - not that we could find the words anyway! We were just buzzing with positive energy.

How the event unfolded

The (spiritual) light and energy in the room were so intense that my eyes were almost watering. As Kiernan and I spoke it came clear how we would work together using our gifts.

My role was to do a global Back to Your Blueprint Energy Activation. That means doing a smudging ceremony, traditional Aboriginal welcome song, guided meditation and then channeling a Medicine Song as I connect to Source, my spirit, the universal energy field and the group. I usually do other energy work afterward with my hands and medicine rattle as well, but not this time.

When Kiernan suggested that she act as a conduit of light to do what she calls a Divine Blueprint Activation for the group and globally, I got chills and it just felt right for both of us.

As I read the meditation, I could feel the energy in the room changing from fizzy to a slow motion flow of energy and a sense of everything being in its place. Once the song came through me, I could feel the familiar connection and flow of energies. Kiernan flowed light through her as I sang, and then I led a grounding meditation. It was very moving.

I held a sharing circle afterwards and it was fascinating to hear some of the results of our work together, complemented by this new energy. One woman had been doing Reiki during the activation, someone got an instant connection back to her true purpose, another person had been feeling angry beforehand and now felt at peace, and one of the cafe staff said she had a sudden dizzy spell as she walked by me and a friend before we had even begun. A friend of mine in Manitoba called me to say she felt the connection when she did the meditation from her place.

The local event in Toronto had a great turnout and positive results, and I am excited to hear what some of you experienced globally! Please comment me here or on myspace with your own experiences with tapping into this energy. And don't forget I'll be posting the mp3 of the live activation some time this week.

I almost forgot! What could top the last 2 days?

What's coming... clarity. It may feel for many of us like we're in a fog for a bit but soon our inner sun will be shining and our minds will be clear. And with clarity will come inspiration. When inspiration strikes, just remember to dive in!

Peace, Love & Light,

Wow!

Hi there,

My spirit name is Medicine Song Woman and I'm Owl Clan. I believe we're all one people, so much so that I wrote a song about it. It's a FREE download at http://myspace.com/brendamacintyre. Since I have been on my personal healing journey, I've had many amazing spiritual experiences and have received healing and other unusual abilities from Spirit/Source/Creator.

I've always been able to see some forms of energy and began lucid dreaming and displaying signs of what was then called E.S.P. when I was just 11 years old. I had nobody to talk to about these abilities and nobody to help me develop them until I was in my late 20's.

This year has been remarkable for me so far! I've gained new healing abilities and the ones I already had have been strengthened. I've known for a while now that my voice has healing properties, but I suppose it was hard to accept. I used to sing and drum with other women and so it was easy to shrug it off as perhaps being the energy of all of us singing together...

Until I began singing and drumming alone.

Ever since I went solo in 2005, more and more gifts have come to me. The gift I had of channeling songs has become so strong that now it's as if there is a cloud filled with songs above my head all the time, waiting for me to pull one down through my crown chakra.

This March I was overwhelmed with this gift and asked Source and my spirit helpers what they wanted me to do with all these songs. They said I need to start healing work with others - that the songs are for healing people. Well, I knew that my music was healing people emotionally, but ever since I started my healing practice just a few short months ago, my clients have been reporting physical pain disappearing and amazing spiritual experiences.

The thing is, the most powerful experiences have been when I did what I was calling Distance Healing... and I soon realized this was more than what most people think of as distance healing.

So I booked an attunement session with Julia Rogers-Hamrick to help me understand more about my abilities, and help me keep on moving forward on this sometimes overwhelming but really amazing journey.

What happened was, I found out what I was afraid to find out... that what I am doing is actually something that I've noticed a lot of on the internet lately. I guess I shouldn't be so surprised with the new energies opening us up recently.

How I understand this gift is that I'm helping people to plug into the right place in their energy system to bring them back into alignment with their original blueprint, their original energy signatures that they came here with in the first place. That explains why people's body parts are moving involuntarily as I spontaneously channel a song by opening my mouth and singing what I hear coming through my crown chakra.

It also reminds me of what the elders are always saying... that we human beings are the only ones on the planet who have forgotten their original instructions. It makes sense to me then, that when you get back to your blueprint - the original instructions your spirit had for your personal Earth journey - you will experience transformation and healing on all levels.

Well, I see my computer's about to do its nightly scan and cleanup, so I'll take this to dreamland with me for now. And I'll have to update my website next week after my next personal healing appointment! I know things will change again and I'll have more to share.

Until next time,
Brenda
