The Power of Spirit on the New Year

A number of months ago, a young man, whose mother is a part of our healing community, crashed his motorcycle at high speed while fleeing the police. He had been arrested with drugs some time before, was on probation, and had missed his curfew. When he saw the police car checking him out, he panicked and took off.

As a result, many bones in his body were broken, including his entire pelvic region, and his body had turned ashen grey. His family and friends held a vigil by the hospital bed. That night, at our Poughkeepsie Gathering of the Healing Spirit Circle we entered into a powerful communal meditation and worked to see him healed and whole. I remember having a strong sense that this young man had a choice before him.

Along with his body being broken, and the risk of being crippled for life at age nineteen, the local authorities at the District Attorney’s office were determined to make an example of this young man. He was to be tried and sentenced to jail as an adult with no leniency.

Somewhere inside of him, however, this young man made a choice, and when he regained consciousness, his mother began to work with him. She told him that his thoughts and intentions, when aligned for his highest good, can create new realities and transform the most difficult challenges. She told him not to resign to despair, but to dare open to being healed and whole.

The young man remained in body cast, and was filled with drugs and anesthesia,

hahaha!

I couldn’t resist posting this, as it is a pretty unique ‘capture’ — of Rick Jarow laughing uproariously. Anyone who’s spent time around Rick has probably noticed that outright laughter is not typical of his demeanor.

At the Prophets Conference, however, he led a visualization process wherein you visualize sending specific emotional energies into particular organs of the body. As energy workers are aware, each organ has a specific job of emotional processing (and cleansing), and backups of negative emotions held in an organ can lead to illness in that specific place. Rick’s visualization involved sending antidotal emotional energy to lighten the load of each organ.

So here he is, leading the charge of sending laughter to the organ that has the burdensome task of processing worry. “Send laughter into your spleen, and imagine all your worries turning to Lightness,” he advised, and proceeded to howl outrageously for a good few minutes, bringing the room with him. I’m sure many spleens were tickled.

I share this vignette with with you and invite you to laugh into your spleen! Maybe transform your daily commute into a daily transmute — unless you’re on public transit…

Naming It

Hello all; Laurie Pentell here, coming out from behind the scenes as a guest columnist today. It’s been ten months since the Rick Jarow AoA blog went live on WordPress. I’ve enjoyed witnessing this largely successful experiment that opened a channel between Rick and folks interested in his ideas re: manifesting the life and livelihood they desire. Many thousands of guests have visited these pages. Learning to engage life as a grace-full dance of energies instead of a glut of enemies to be conquered is gaining ground — as it must. (Now for this to trickle up our governmental food chain…) The discernment between these approaches is crucial; it’s all about the energy signatures we engage as co-creators of our manifest reality. Are energies flowing in harmonious collaboration, or fractured into opposing dualities much of the way?

Early on, Rick encouraged me to contribute some writing in this space, and I have shied from doing so. Recently, though, I’ve been feeling, observing, and experiencing a few things along a certain theme that I thought I’d share, before the maiden year of the AoA blog closes out. So, while Rick is busy manifesting elsewhere, here’s my offering to the Alchemy of Abundance crucible – involving a manifestation journey of my own. Perhaps there’s something in it for you.

For over a year, I’ve had a slippery hold on a vision for a project I’d like to manifest. Like most creative projects in “this Now,” this one involves a website. In fact, the website is the core aspect; the sun around which numerous planets and satellites would revolve in mutually supportive alignments. The mere expanse and complexity of this project intimidated me, and moreover… the working title I had for it didn’t ignite me. This might not block most people, but I realized recently, looking back at other creations, that I seem to need to name a thing I want to call forth — its signature, or mantra, so to speak — before I can successfully manifest it. So the project kind of sat there, orphaned, burdened with a boring name.

These past couple of months I’ve given more attention to this situation, this name issue, and spent more time focusing on the nature of “the being” trying to come into manifestation. What is trying to emerge here? Who would the primary players be? What is the important service I’m feeling called to provide by way of it? What is the primary theme that is up for me that I dearly want to energize through this expression? I keyed in on the primary theme (not as easy/obvious as one might expect) and then a primary word, and then played with that word, in all kinds of forms and pairings with other words, for several weeks. THE name remained elusive. On occasion I thought I might be on to something, only to find that the domain was already taken, or the vibration just didn’t quite resonate in some other way. On and on.

Last week: a breakthrough…
