Mount Shasta Journey

Mount Shasta at Sunset in the Fall.

Last week on the spur of the moment, I was called to go to Mount Shasta as I knew if I waited much longer I would not be able to go because of commitments and/or weather.  I packed everything for Reggie and I, got his kennel fastened securely in the car, and took off early in the morning so we could spend as much of the day on and around the mountain as possible.  His kennel is like a suite at the Ritz with a padded cushion, his soft blanket, his Lamb Chop and Pink Dog stuffed animals, plus a water dish is attached to the side.  I put a towel over the top so the sun doesn’t shine directly on him causing him to get too hot.  Spirit encourages me to make him safe as this reduces my concern while I am driving and increases his enjoyment of traveling in the car.

The trip up is always interesting as Reggie controls how far we go before we stop.  We get to the outskirts of Sacramento and he decides he needs to stop and walk around a little bit.  Sometimes he really has to pee-pee and other times he just messes around sniffing and marking territory.  We get back on the road and go about 50 miles until he wants to stop again, so we do the walking around, then get back in the car.  A short time after we get back in the car, I hear this little sound like he is crying, but I know he does not need to walk, nor more water, nor cookies as he just had one.  So, I tell him no we are going to keep going for a while.  Spirit teaches me to hear the sounds he makes with my heart so I can distinguish the real need sounds from the I want my way sounds.  It is so subtle, just a difference in energy, vibration, and frequency within his voice.

We make a couple more stops until we get to Redding where my friend lives.  We usually stop at her house as she and her dog love Reggie and I.  It is a place I can rest for a little while, Reggie can be out of the car off-leash for a while, and my dear friend and I can catch up with each other’s lives.  Spirit provides me with such loving, gracious friends along the way which fills each of our hearts with joy at just being together for a short time.

While I am in Redding, I go to Moore’s Flour Mill and buy a big bag of freshly milled Old Fashioned Oatmeal as I have oatmeal most every morning and use it in other things also.  I do this every time I go to Mount Shasta; it is a ritual which warms my heart as I love things straight from the field or the Earth.  We used to live close to Redding and found many wonderful freshly milled or grown products there.  Spirit keeps me connected to that which resonates most harmoniously with my body and soul.

Then we begin our journey up to the mountain.  This trip is different as there is a large burn area on the way up and traffic is down to one lane as the road is being repaired after the fire.  There is a stillness, a grief about the earth that is scorched with the energy, vibration, and frequency lower.  I send pure Divine Light and Love to the entire area and all affected.  After we pass the burn area, there is an energy field shift on the way up that clearly delineates the energy, vibration, and frequency of the Mount Shasta area from that of Redding and the valley.  Once I enter that field my entire being is shifted to a place of instant peace and tranquility.  The mountain in all its glory appears and blesses me with its majesty and magnificence.  Spirit enfolds me in a dimension that is pure grace.

Each trip to Mount Shasta is different in the way in which I am held while I am on the mountain.  This trip from the time I entered the first energy field going up I-5, I was in a dimension as though there were no one else there.  I was aware of cars, people, and activity, but I was not a part of that.  Spirit was infusing me with the energy from “home” in a cocoon of protection that allowed no other energy, vibration or frequency to enter.  I would be eating in the restaurant or shopping in a store and felt the difference as others were aware of me, but almost did not see me.  This has happened before when I was in a higher dimension at a higher vibration and frequency that others did not see me in the physical on this plane.

The Headwaters of the Sacramento River called me first and I spent time walking around the flow of the river on both sides.  This always energizes me as this water flows so rapidly and so purely that it takes me to a place that is quiet and soft inside.  It makes me want to lay down and listen to the water tumble over the rocks and logs.  It makes me wonder how much of it will make it all the way down to the ocean, how much will flow to the crops, the cities, and the animals, and how much will rest in a lake or pond.  Its grandeur amazes me going from a small stream to a massive wide deep moving body of water.  Spirit reflecting the incredible beauty, strength, and power of its creation and the life-giving essence of the water.

Next, I am called to Lake Siskiyou (above) where the beautiful yellow, orange, and rust leaves are mirrored in the stillness of this pristine alpine lake.  It is as though the lake and I are one in our stillness, in our reflection of what is around us, and in emanating so much light.  The evergreen trees intersperse between the fall colors painting a picture of perfection across the lake.  The birds normally chirping are quiet as I am in another dimension where energy, vibration, and frequency are the sounds and waves flowing through.  Each day, I go to the areas on or around the mountain that call me.  Spirit infuses me with different levels of energy, vibration and frequency at each of these locations.

Rest is a part of each day with the windows open and the cool mountain air flowing through the room as Reggie and I lay down to integrate what we have received from Spirit.  The fragrance of the pine trees, the wood burning fires, and the purity of the air regenerate my physical body and its senses in a way that uplifts me.  Spirit brings awareness of the smallest things to me and to Reggie as we rest.  I say thank you to the mountain, the valley, the lakes, the river, the forest, and all contained therein for their precious gifts to me and for just being.

When it is time for us to begin our trip home on the last morning, Spirit brings me back into the Earth plane as I get into the car to leave.  I am fully connected to the people, the sounds, the traffic, and all as I say “until we meet again, I love you” to Mount Shasta in the rearview mirror the last time I can see it.  The trip home is quick and easy.

Reggie doesn’t’ require the number of stops on the way home as he knows intuitively he will be out of the car sooner.  When we get home, I take him out first, open his doggie door so he can go outside to bark letting everyone know he is back.  He is so excited he doesn’t know what to do, so he runs around in circles to show his happiness at being home.  Spirit blessing us with so much it overwhelms me at times with the grace and beauty of it all.  Nancy and Reggie♥

Beauty and Magic of Moving

There is a beauty and magic to moving from one place to another whether it be inside oneself, in a town, or to a different city, state, or country.  Moving brings forth a sense of grief at leaving the previous people, place, ways, and known things.  It brings forth a sense of excitement of discovering the new people, place, ways and unknown things.  It brings forth the magic of knowing that Spirit is opening and expanding me and others to new experiences, food, scenery, weather, roads, ways of speaking, ways of being, and customs of tradition.  I have moved thirteen times in my life to, from, or within these states:  Oklahoma, Colorado, California (Several), Oregon, and Nevada.

It all began when my parents moved our family from Oklahoma to Colorado Springs, Colorado when I was around 12 years old.  I grieved leaving all of my relatives in Oklahoma, the places I had known since birth, my school friends, and the sense of security I felt with all of that.  I not only grieved leaving, it made me mad because I wanted to stay where I felt loved and where I loved.  Spirit teaching me early to follow where I was lead – if I was willing.

At the same time, it was exciting to think about living by Pikes Peak and the Rocky Mountains with all of the beauty of the land.  We had one family from our home town with two girls about our ages who lived in Colorado Springs when we moved there, so we knew someone.  We lived in a rental house down the street from our friends, so started our lives with people we knew.  It wasn’t the same as the love of my relatives, but if was the love of friends.  Spirit provided a bridge of comfort between the life we left and our new life.

This move established a pattern for my life.  We immediately became members of the church, involved ourselves in all of its activities, and I found a social life through the youth and other groups.  With each move throughout the years, my first connection was with a church, my anchor with Source.  A spiritual foundation of a strength and depth that helped me weather life’s challenges.  One which was as innately mine from birth as was breathing.

Other patterns were established during this move.  Friends became my family, as I lived away from the family the majority of my life. I was close by phone, but friends were close physically.  The early moves to furnished apartments were exploring myself and learning what I wanted moves.  There was such beauty in moving to a new apartment, new area, new neighbors and so forth.  My reasons varied from I wanted to live within walking distance from the ocean, I needed a cheaper place to live, I wanted a bigger apartment in a nicer area, to I wanted to be close to work.  Later in my life, with each move I would go inside myself before the move to be sure this was what Spirit was calling me to do.

Moving gave me the opportunity to be different, for people to experience me in a different way.  It also gave the new people an opportunity to be different.  Growing up in a small town early in life was a revelation of how everyone is viewed the same even though they may have changed over the years.  In a large city like Los Angeles and the Metropolitan area, or in a different city or state, people you meet accept you as you are now.  The only past they know is what you tell them.  Spirit was providing me the opportunity to anchor in changes to my Being with the moves to maintain the beauty of my growth more easily.

After my two near death experiences, I could see that other work was being done in the areas in which I lived, and the states and countries through which I traveled.  The incredible magic Spirit showed me of the work amazed and humbled me.  Others’ opinions of my moves disappeared as I witnessed the results of the paths I traveled.  With Spirit’s guidance along the way, simple words I said, smiles, a soft touch, a wave, a card, call, or text, a gift, a ride, anger expressed as well as the Light, energy, vibration, and frequency activating, initiating, uplifting, and expanding in amazing ways and places had made a difference.

A life’s spiritual purpose, totally different from what I thought it was, revealed to me the beauty and magic of moving.

Reggie has only had two moves, one from North Las Vegas, Nevada to Upland, California, then from Upland to Auburn.  He doesn’t like the long rides in his kennel or car seat on these moves, but he loves to hang his head out the window when we slow down to feel the breeze blow as he greets other drivers, dogs, and takes in the beauty of the scenery.  He carries a spiritual beauty within him that radiates out to those who are open and loving every place we move.  He longed for a home, so when I moved him to my home, he brought so much beauty and magic.  Spirit gave us the beauty of moving to each place, of growing within ourselves and assisting in ways anticipated and not anticipated, and of loving each other no matter where we move.  Divine Order is always creating magic in our world and we are grateful.  Nancy and Reggie♥

Lazy Summer Days©

It has been hot here for the past three weeks and is over 100 degrees today which is hot for Auburn, California.  It is too hot for me and for Reggie; we are 60 to 80-degree types.  Not too hot, not too cold.  So, when it gets this hot, we enjoy the beauty of our lazy summer days – inside.  Spirit guides us to slow down and relax during the heat, so we can better hear the messages that are being sent to us and bask in the flow of each moment.

 

Mornings, I get up around 5:30 am to take Reggie outside then he goes back to sleep.  I go back to bed for 45 minutes to an hour to meditate, then exercise, walk, and work in the garden while it is cooler.  Reggie helps in the garden by making sure no squirrels get any of the fruit and no other animal comes in the yard or around the trees or bushes while he is on patrol.  We eat breakfast after I come back inside.  It takes me an hour to cool off after working in the yard even though it is “cooler” outside.  I turn on the air conditioning and my body is grateful.

 

Being able to have air conditioning in the house and in the car is such a gift.  I remember when we turned on the fan in the house or rolled down the car windows to cool off.  Such wonderful technology that is created for our greater and greater comfort, communication, and connection.   Spirit giving those in the human form ideas and information to create a better world in all ways.

 

After breakfast, I write on the computer, answer emails, send out my Sacred NOW Card of the Day, and explore whatever is on my mind.  Then I read with Reggie curled up by me in the recliner.  He considers the recliner his as he is in it most of the time.  He reluctantly moves when it appears I am going to sit on him.  We are so blessed to have such simple things to do together.  I am retired and choose what I want to do with my time each day.

 

It reminds me of when I used to live and work in the Los Angeles area and longed for a simpler life without all the stress of career challenges, freeway driving, masses of people, and all that goes with those things.  Retirement seemed so far in the future, but it was just around the corner.  Spirit showing me the way to have exactly what I longed for.

 

Today we are driving to Lake Tahoe to visit beloved family and I am looking forward to that.  Reggie loves going in the car and seeing people we haven’t seen in a long time.  Lovely summer trips to enfold each other in our love and gratitude for the memories we share and are making.  Spirit keeps us open to fulfilling relationships that last a lifetime.  So many blessings abound!

 

Lunch and dinner are light as it is too hot to eat heavy food.  I visit with family and friends on the phone.  We watch television or read and go for our walk just as it is getting dark as it is cooler again.  We go to bed, then say a prayer for the wonderful day and all therein.  A lazy summer day filled with Spirit’s ease and grace.  Nancy and Reggie♥
