Chapter 12 Inviting the inanimate world into healing resonance

Image
  I have noticed that when clients participate in plant medicine ceremonies in my therapy space, they have more quiet, interior experiences and gain valuable insights from these sessions. No one has ever been overwhelmed or afraid for more than a few moments, nor have they acted in challenging ways. Participants are calm and I feel the presence of their own guides who can connect and journey with them in the most beautiful and beneficial way possible. When I have occasionally, in the past, gone to client’s own homes, especially if they were not happy in their homes, their journeys were upsetting, chaotic and sometimes evocative without presenting guidelines of how to go forward. I know now that my therapy space has absorbed the goodness and intent of many courageous and heroic journeyers, and those influences work to facilitate significant insights, visions, visitations from ancestors, and new understandings. There is so much to comment on in this session! I happened to chanc...

Chapter 11 Opening the self to knowledge within

Image
  I am so grateful to find this session again. After thirty-five years, I’m so much more ready to receive and implement this practice! And so timely! I’ve been working on changing my posture, especially the anterior title of my pelvis, which I wrote about in the last chapter. This practice of clearing the first charka has revealed to me ancestral traumas which I thought I had cleared. But when I focused there, I could feel the block, just as the River described. Over a period of a week, I intentionally cleared that block by repeating to my self “ Those traumas from the past are no longer going to live in my body. Those conditions will never return to me again .” Strangely now when I focus on my root charka, I sense the ancient goddess, Sheela-na-gig. Who is a strange and misunderstood archetype, often thought of as vulgar and pornographic. But in truth, She represents how we give birth to the world through our root chakra, which for women and men is located in the perineum. I hav...

Chapter Ten- Regulating energy flows in the body to prevent illness

Image
  At the time of this session, I was working closely inside an NGO with refugees, drug addicts and victims of torture and violence. It was intense work and I often felt exhausted at the end of the day. But when it came time for me to rest, I felt buzzy, restless and unable to fall into a deep sleep. Here is a short session which the River channeled about how to regulate energy flows within the body. Now, more than thirty years later, I understand their teachings better about regulating energy up and down the central channel of the spine, both physical and energic. I can now identify where I’m holding too much energy in one or more chakras. I as particularly interested in their comments about arthritis because since this time of the channeling, I’ve developed some arthritis in my lower back or lumbar spine. I have pondered why arthritis has develop there and I am reminded of what a shaman told me once, that lower back pain is associated with lack of support in my life. I have thou...

Chapter Nine- “Helping” and helpers.

Image
This is a transcript from the channelled fellowhship of the River  in the early 1980’s. I was about to start my therapy career. My question followed a session about the soul path of the Aire Way-the path of compassion, love and relationships. Contemplating this transcript now, I am still disturbed by their thoughts. The answers astonished me when it was first delivered and for a long time, I thought perhaps the River was simply wrong about their statements. There is much to ponder here about helping and helpers. I have been helped by others a lot. But looking back, I see that it was up to me to accept the help, and how I accepted the help was instrumental in how their assistance furthered me along my journey. And whether I took the help with an attitude of entitlement or gratitude. Or even with awareness.   Julia: Can I ask a question? I am engaged in the helping professions - do you have any advice for helpers, people who care for others? River: Helping begins first...

Chapter Eight-Clearing past traumas and unwanted relationships with a crystal

Image
  After the last session, I wondered -how can I ‘program’ a crystal? I searched through other River transcripts and found instructions which I will share here. First, find a crystal that has been harvested honorably. This may seem like a mysterious quality, however if you use your intuition and ask questions of whomever or wherever you are buying the crystal, you may be able to ascertain how the stone was harvested. If the stone was yanked from their bed in a hasty manner with profit as the primary motive, you can intuit if the stone absorbed those toxic vibrations or not. Perhaps it is still possible to work with dishonorably harvested crystal, but you will have to do extra clearing and programing with it. Notice the shop or venue where you buy the crystal. Do they seem like people who understand interconnectiveness? Did they program the crystal before you came to it with greed and sickness or do they love the mineral world? Do they speak about the mineral world with affection ...
