During these times of rapid and intense shifts and changes our bodies, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, are definitely taking a beating. The rapid influx of higher frequency that we are encountering as we re-enter the photon band is causing a massive detoxification on all levels. This is because what is not compatible with the higher frequency is shaking loose and falling out.

I have increasing reports of body aches, nausea, dizziness, emotional outbursts and times of confusion from my students, clients, and friends. I am also experiencing this myself.

We are not the only ones exposed to the photon band for the first time in literally ages. The Earth herself is undergoing the same massive frequency shift and needs to shake things off and detoxify as well. As we have already seen, this can bode ill for those of us living on her surface.

In most indigenous shamanic-based cultures there have existed ceremonies performed by chosen ones of the community designed to stabilize the earth by rebalancing her with herself and the stars. As these cultures have been annihilated or driven off their land containing the sacred sites where the ceremonies were performed, less and less provision is available for this needed service.

Now the Earth is going to do what she needs to do regardless of us puny humans. I think it is rather arrogant of us to think we can destroy her. All she needs to do is roll over in her sleep and we are not an issue any longer. What really needs rebalancing with the earth and stars is us puny humans.

Our job on this planet is one of stewardship. This is mentioned in many religious texts. This stewardship consists of channeling the God energy from above and the Goddess energy from the Earth through our charkas out our hearts and into the world, bringing balance and unity to all on the surface. By some of us aligning with and standing in this frequency, we provide a “tone” for others to attune to. What all this means is long forgotten and yet to be discovered.

We were originally designed to be an orchestra, each being on the planet has its individual part to play but all must be in tune for the music to come forth. We have lost our bearings on the tone during the long dark and the dissonance threatens to necessitate a large adjustment on the part of the Earth to correct it.

While in ages past, specific ones carried the responsibility to set the tone, now is a time of enlightenment and personal empowerment on the individual level as well. There is more light to operate by and if we choose to cooperate with the ascension process we are being given the opportunity to participate in mass.

This tone is set by raising our frequency using love, respect, honoring and gratitude for all things.

Each of us needs to follow our promptings as to what is ours to do and it may very well be that participation in bringing balance at the ceremonial level does not appeal. There are other and equally important ways we can assist the rebalancing process. In fact it is particularly important for those wishing to participate in ceremony to attend to the following things as well:

1) Healing: support for our personal healing ascension process by eating balanced organic food, drinking pure water, getting exercise, spending time in nature and through Shamanic and other holistic healings.

2) Know yourself: The more whole we become through these healings, the more we become truly grounded in who we are. This helps us be more present on the Earth and available to hold a point of integrity (higher frequency). We are also in a better position to access and follow our true promptings and therefore our path, which is our personal thread in the tapestry of life. Our path is our personal tone in any given moment that blends beautifully in the music of life.

3) Home: the concept of home is a hugely important ingredient of regaining balance. Every well-tended and much loved hearth, garden, and if you are so inclined, altar, provides a grounding point for the web that weaves the balance of life. This brings the first level harmony to the music.

4) Sacredness in all things: Treat ourselves and each other and all our relations in a sacred way. While it is important to discern who it is appropriate to work and be with while we are all shifting into our new teams, it is also paramount that we honor each others’ path. Discernment, not harsh judgment of ourselves and each other, is required here. As we join our teams the harmony and volume of our music is increased and carries further into the world stirring the strings of others and waking them up to their part and tone as well.

I feel so blessed and privileged to be in this orchestra with you and all of my relations on our beautiful Mother Earth.

In friendship,

Gwilda Wiyaka

Gwilda to Focus Sacred Site for Blue Thunder
Blue Thunder, an Elder spiritual leader and advisor and an enrolled tribal member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe, Wind River Indian Reservation, is organizing a Re-harmonization of Sacred Sites located in several northwestern states including Wyoming, the purpose being to help rebalance the earth and soften the impact of earth changes.

Gwilda, who has been doing sacred site work in the USA as well as abroad, is in support of Blue Thunder’s vision and has offered to focus the Saratoga, Wyoming location. The event will take place in Saratoga May 13 & 14 and all that feel drawn to participate are welcomed and greatly encouraged to do so.
