How to Bend Time - Part 1

HOW TO BEND TIME © 2010 Brenda MacIntyre

Now that I've got your attention, let's talk about time.

It's May 10th, 2010 and I've just finished writing a short article about Time. I feel compelled to share more than what was in that article, because I've had some fascinating experiences with time.

Time flies when you're having fun, right?

Nope.

Time flies, period.

With the changes happening to Mother Earth, time really is speeding up. It's NOT your imagination. It's NOT that you just feel like there aren't enough hours in the day. You are NOT going crazy. This is happening for real.

Time is shifting, Mother Earth is shifting, and along with them, we are too.

I had a dream last week that lasted a whole day, from morning to night. When I woke up, I could recall all that had happened during that eventful day in my dream. But here's the thing... less than one hour had passed on the clock in waking reality. Puzzling, right?

Over my lifetime, I’ve had a few dreams like this one. A couple of times it was only 5 to 10 minutes that had passed, and yet my brain had processed an entire day or more of activity.

How does that happen?

What if I told you I’ve experienced this in my waking reality too?

Usually we only notice when time seems to be slipping away. But I have had a few experiences of an hour feeling like a few hours – in my waking reality – during a time of creativity that I would normally experience as time flying by. In other words, where did the time not go?

Maybe you have had this experience yourself. Has an hour ever seemed far longer to you than 60 minutes, in a situation where you’re having great fun?

I’m pretty sure I could find answers to this puzzle in quantum physics. And probably more questions. But for now, let’s just say that time is very much about perception.

What do you think?

Part 2 Coming Next Week (mid-May 2010)

Global Healing & the Coming Light

This post was going to be about my experience of the global healing ceremony I just conducted at California State University but since I had a vision earlier, I am now being given messages as well as that vision to share with you. My post about the actual ceremony will have to wait until I allow myself to receive and share the complete message this vision is connected to.

I am still jetlagged from my 3 day trip but I have just had a vision about what is to come for us all and whenever this happens for me, it is my responsibility to share it.

I see a great opening, like a cavern, from which light and all that is good is pouring, bursting through. This light is like an amplifier of healing energy and positive vibrations. It is coming, I can feel it. It is beginning NOW as I type this.

I know that in Sedona, Arizona there is a gathering of indigenous elders and spiritual leaders, that began on April 18th, 2009, the same day I was doing the global healing ceremony in California. I could feel that I was connected to their ceremonies as I did my own, as well as a connection I see as in my Medicine Song painting (Right), tendrils of light connecting us all to the grid and to all of each other's healing energy and positive intentions.

A LOT of GOOD is coming right now for us all. All we have to do is tap into it, just let it happen and allow ourselves to receive it. This is the message I am being given in this moment. It is not a new message but one I am being told to share with you at this time.

Now I can feel my hands heating up with healing energy. This burst of light coming forth is definitely a big one. It will be like a blanket over us. It feels like it is coming within the next 4-7 days. The number 5 comes to mind - I'm not sure if that is 5 days or if the 5 is about the immense change that is being effected. Okay, I am being told it is about the 5 pointed star - it is about the physical expression of our Selves, the human body. I can feel the rain and wind confirming this message about the burst of light coming.

Something is preparing us right now for what is coming in the next few days. It is important to allow whatever is happening and just trust that it is part of a much bigger picture, one that is filled with more beauty and aliveness than you or I can possibly imagine.

I encourage you to drink an abundance of purified water over the next few days, and offer gratitude to your water before drinking it. Do whatever you can to keep you in a positive mindspace. Do what makes you shine and feel really good. Imagine debris being removed from you as sparkles of light fall onto you like raindrops, melting into your aura, your skin, your hair, your being.

Be open to what thoughts, ideas, feelings, situations, people might come into your life in the next 4-7 days. Be aware and receptive to what gifts they might be bringing you. I have a feeling something that will make our eyes light up is about to happen for all who can allow themselves to receive it.

We are moving to another stage in our own evolution. Something is changing about us at our core that will align us further with Mother Earth - it's not just with Mother Earth but will All That Is, with Source... there is something coming in that is so big and bright and beautiful that it will be almost impossible to resist.

We are in a "calm before the storm", where the storm is actually the burst of light. Our preparation will be gentle if we just allow ourselves to let this light in by being present and doing what we love - it's only 4-7 days, so why not try this?

So don't resist.

Let the light in.

You deserve it.

That is all.

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.

Barack Obama Brings Transformation

I posted this as an answer to a question on LinkedIn "How were Barack Obama's words received in your country?"

My personal reaction was one of joy, gratitude and hope.

Obama is careful to note that most of the work will be coming from the people - with support from the government.

He is the kind of person who can inspire many people to action very quickly. He has an authenticity about him that is rare in politics and that along with his charisma and lived experience with diversity are key to this being a turning point.

Globally, Obama has added fire to an already lit candle of hope and he has come at a time when there is a tremendous shift happening globally. As I am an indigenous healer, the energy I felt during both his inauguration and his election has been unbelievably joyous - although I can also sense the other side of it, the many who are not feeling ready for such intense change. But he is not the one responsible for the intense change - we all are.

There is no question this is a turning point - it already was a turning point globally even without his election. It's not just the economy that is crashing; the way of living that has favored a small number of people and left the rest behind is also crashing.

Obama's election has served to amplify the positive energy in enough people that global transformation toward a more peaceful and positive way of being just gained huge momentum.

One person can make a difference. Certainly one person can't undo all the negativity and history before him in one fell swoop, but one person can make a difference.

And that one person is you. And me. And yes, Obama. And anyone else who is open to working toward something better.

Change isn't coming - it's already here and Obama's election is just part of the larger picture. Some will love him and some will hate him and some will sit and watch him, waiting for him to make mistakes.

On a personal level, as a Native Canadian mother with mixed race children, I am thrilled that my 11yo daughter is taking an interest in learning about politics and feeling inspired as a result of these events, and that my black-Indian Jamaican/Ojibwe/Odawa/Irish/Scottish 22yo son can now look at possibility in a whole new light.

Miigwech, Thank You for raising this topic.

Synchronicity & Healing

I just love synchronicities. This one just stopped me in my tracks with my jaw dropped, literally. Check this out...

I'm surfing on myspace and I just opened a second page in a different window to see someone's profile. I'm also listening to my favorite positive reggae radio station using winamp.

All of a sudden the second profile's music player starts up - but I thought it was some ambient singing from the reggae radio station. What are the odds that the two songs would completely mesh???

The David Bowie song on the myspace profile was in exactly the same tempo as the reggae song. That in itself is amazing! Well, that's not all. The songs stayed in the exact same KEY as well! The chords were all working together and it sounded like this amazing reggae song with David Bowie wailing over it. Even Bowie's vocals were coming in at appropriate musical moments for the reggae song!

I only write in this blog when I feel inspired and passionate about doing it, and it's always moments like these that get me inspired.

Now, I don't want you to miss out on this...
I've put my Spirit Connection CD on sale for only $11.11 for the whole month of December. You can also choose to download the whole album for only $4.99! Check it out at http://brendamacintyre.com/moment and take a Meditation Moment while you're there.

How are you handling all the immense changes?

The past few weeks have been about re-integration, not just for me but globally. A lot is happening worldwide and if we can go above the physical appearances of things, we can begin to notice what else is going on and get through things much more easily.

How I've experienced re-integration is in a few waves. I had a wave of uncertainty and a sort of displaced sense of unfounded fear for about a week. I had to focus carefully on positive thoughts to feel okay. Everything felt like it was falling apart for me once more - not a pretty feeling.

After that, I spent some time for about a week doing much less than usual, to allow an energy healing to take place for me. I could feel a sweet, gentle presence and cool breeze, definitely female and very caring, working on a certain area of my energy system several times a day. This spirit helper continued working on me for that week, especially whenever I felt overwhelmed or sore or anxious. Thankfully I was already in a state of allowing, so I relaxed into it every time.

One morning as I sat here working, I realized I hadn't felt her presence, and I missed it. She did come to help me two more times, and then she left. I don't think she's really gone though - it feels like she's still watching over me. I am so grateful for her presence and her assistance. While she was working on me, I would feel that cool breeze, a sense of inner warmth and caring, and the area she was working on would tingle until she was done. It was like I could feel her smiling.

A few days later, I began to notice my knees and feet were cracking as I walked, which I now know from experience is about "moving forward". But this time it is different.

What I have noticed more and more is that my whole body has been creaking and cracking, but not necessarily hurting... ever since that energy healing happened. I realized just about a week ago that my body is simply adjusting to the energy work done on me, as well as to the new energies brought in to Mother Earth.

An amazing gift that has come to me during the same time, is that I can suddenly heal my own headaches within minutes or sometimes even seconds of them appearing. I've had headaches and migraines all my life and now I seem to be able to just make them go away with my mind! I really didn't think it would be possible, because usually the pain is so severe or longlasting that I can't even focus on anything. But it is. It's happening!

It's difficult to explain how I do it but it has to do with focusing on the actual pain and getting my consciousness inside the pain, pinpointing it with my 3rd eye. I promise when I figure out how to teach it, I will share that with you. It's been life-changing for me, because now when I get a headache, instead of losing a whole day or week over it, I feel fantastic!

Back in March 2008 when I "gave up" and asked Source what the heck I was supposed to be doing, I learned an important lesson.

When faced with adversity, get into a mode of observing things, just noticing them without judgment. And when you get into a space of not knowing what to do or where to turn, connect with your spirit and ASK Source for help! And... accept that you are where you are and know that even if things seem awful, you still have control over how you choose to respond. In the response of acceptance, calm observation, spirit connection and openness, amazing things can happen! And you will feel better even just trying.

I've also received a lot of inspirations and will be offering new services for 2009. I'll share more about these as I develop them. My album is coming along beautifully and I hope to have that officially released by June 2009.

I'll be sharing more here for the Winter Solstice coming up very shortly but for now, have a joyous day!

Love, Light & Gratitude,
Brenda
