From Mystress at fire-serpent.com Thu Mar 30 22:55:50 2006 From: Mystress at fire-serpent.com (Mystress Angelique Serpent) Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2006 22:55:50 -0800 Subject: [FST members] Spring Fever, European Tour and April Chat Schedule. Message-ID: <4.3.2.7.2.20060329082516.04cc7ef8@mail.fire-serpent.com> Wow this past two weeks the Earth energy was really rocking! I know I spent a couple of weeks short of sleep, with very little appetite and feeling like 10,000 volts through a rusty wire. So, I thought to share some tips about how to cope with Spring fever and other high energy times. - Drink water, lots of it. The high energy means your Kundalini is more active and your body will be cleansing, so support the process by staying well hydrated. Gatoraid! - Omega 3 oils, B vitamins and calcium. Help your body cope with stress, by giving it the vitamin and mineral support it needs. Calcium plays an important role in regulating moods, same with B vitamins. The omega 3 oils you can get from Flax seed, hemp seed, fish oils and evening primrose oils will help your nervous system to cope with the energy. - Intense physical exercise. Exercise and sweat play an important role in balancing hormones and releasing toxins stored in the lymphatic system. Run, cycle, swim, work out! Intense exercise can help with the insomnia and hyperactivity; a physically tired body will sleep even if the brain cannot seem to be quiet. - Get some "green time." Walk in the woods, sit with your back against a tree, relax at a riverbank or seaside. Take in the natural chi, give your stress up to Goddess. Look to nature to help you balance yourself. Walking can be a meditation all of itself, and give great insights. - Get creative. Any kind of art or creative activity is great for releasing excess Shakti and karma. You don't have to be Picasso! Give yourself freedom to be very childlike: finger painting, playing with crayons or just scribbling colours on paper will help to calm you, and you can always just put the results in the fire- you don't have to show it to anyone. - Spring cleaning. Hyperactive, high energy times are great for letting go of what is no longer needed, and clearing the outside will help you feel clearer on the inside. Go through your closets, finding what no longer serves you to discard or give to charity. Take a look around your home, does it really reflect your personality? This is not a time to decide major renovations, but some new art on the wall or a fresh coat of paint can do wonders to brighten your world. - Gardening. There is nothing more grounding than getting your hands into the dirt, pulling weeds and planting spring flowers. Even if you live in an apartment, potting some spring bulbs and watching them grow aligns you with the seasonal change and can be very grounding. - Be gentle with yourself. Step aside from judgments about yourself, your spiritual process, and whether you are attaining your goals in life. Accept yourself as you are in the here and now, even if you are feeling a little crazy! Remind yourself, "This too shall pass." If you are feeling stuck then give your stuckness up to Goddess, surrender all of your plans and schemes and wait without attachment, to see what Goddess gives back to you. Likely some things will fall by the wayside, and other things will return fresh and more interesting than before! High energy times often coincide with the Wiccan wheel of the year. This article might be too late for Ostara spring fever but the next high energy time will be Beltaine (May1) and the Summer solstice (June 21) so make a note in your scheduler to read this article again then. -------------------------------------------- The Fire Serpent Tantra World Tour. I have always enjoyed travelling and seeing new places and people. What better way to see the world, than to be invited into the homes and countries of people who want me to visit because they appreciate my work? If I can do some workshops while travelling to cover expenses, then so much the better. That's my dream. I'm taking this show on the road! Europe May 14-June 22 2006 The schedule for my European tour is not completely booked yet, we are still working out some details, but for sure I will be doing Fire Serpent Tantra weekend workshops in Sweden 10-11 June and Utrecht, in the Netherlands 20/21 May. I am also planning to visit Amsterdam, the UK and possibly Belgium. I'm really looking forward to this trip, it is exciting! The rough schedule is up at http://kundalini-teacher.com/tantra.html If you live in the European Union and would like to take a workshop, or host one, please contact me so we can set it up. I will also be available for sessions, Shaktipat, tummo initiations, and I would be happy to speak to your community or group about the Kundalini process, and living a spiritual life in the material world. Many thanks to Lori in the UK for her assistance co-ordinating the tour, and to Bobby in Utrecht, and Gustaf and Kimberly in Sweden for graciously agreeing to host the FST weekend workshops. The tour simply could not happen without them. Bravo! If all goes well, I am looking to tour Asia in the fall. Stay tuned! ------------------------------------------------------- Chat classes. I took a few months break from hosting the chat classes, but I'm back at it again, here is the chat schedule for April 2006. Recommended class preparation can be found here: http://kundalini-teacher.com/meditations/grounding.html Monday April 3, 2006 at 5pm PST, Repeated Friday April 21 at noon PST. Topic: Discernment, and the Heart Voice Opening the heart chakra is the way to access the body's built-in truth detector and navigation system. Participants will get heart chakra and entity clearing, to clear the way so the "still small voice within" may speak. Recommended advanced readings are: http://kundalini-teacher.com/guidance/heart.html http://kundalini-teacher.com/guidance/discern.html Friday April 7, 1PM PST Repeated Monday April 17, 5pm PST. Chat Workshop: A Trip to the Void The Void is classically defined in Western and Eastern Mysticism as "The infinite nothingness from which all things spring." It is a higher vibration of non-duality, a place of emptiness, yet consciousness... reverence and power. Meditating in the Void can be excellent for problem solving, or getting inspiration on some creative endeavor. Attainment gives specific spiritual gifts that manifest as a subtle yet definite change in physical perceptions. Nothing will ever be truly dark to you again... We will travel to The Void together, but we will each be alone when we get there... such is the nature of non-duality... you are always alone in The Void. No time, no space, no "other". If you astral travel to some place and it has critters... it is not The Void. Monday April 10, 5PM PST Repeated Friday April 12 at noon PST Chat Workshop: Soul travel. Similar to astral travel, but much simpler to learn and use. After basic instuction in soul travel, and soul retrieval if needed, we will go a few places, off to the moon, visit with Goddess Pele in her Hawaiian volcano, exploring the earth heart, and then exploring deeper inside of ourselves to use soul energy for healing and clearing blockages. http://kundalini-teacher.com/meditations/soul.html Cost is $25 USD ($30 CAD) per chat workshop. Visit http://kundalini-teacher.com/lessons/chats.html for the PayPal link. Please specify the time and date of the workshop you plan to attend. The chatroom is at http://fire-serpent.org/chat/phpMyChat.php3. Register a username and password to get in, and wait in the main room. I will create a private room for the event and invite you to join.
