Standing Rock ~ Standing Strong

15179066 10154099847344786 3930462051425607428 N Dear New HUman Tribe,

With so much focus and anxiety on the US election ~ there was a bit of a vacuum that seemed to push everything else into categories of less importance. Now that the pendulum has swung on that matter ~ let us settle into trust and new breath and expand our awareness more deeply into equally pressing matters. I have drawn awareness to Standing Rock here previously ~ yet, along with more encouragement and suggestions on ways to get involved ~ I also ask you to see the correlation unfolding between world events. NOTHING is unrelated! All over the world, in every culture and circumstance, THE PEOPLE are saying, “hey, wait a minute, this is not ok and we will make our voices heard in things that really matter.”

What is really positive and powerful about this time is that people who have long suffered and had no voice, are rising, coming up from the shadows of oppression and injustice to band together, stand strong, fight for what is right, sacrificing personal need and comfort for the greater good. I feel quite strongly that the Earth Mother, Gaia herself, is rallying many from all walks of life to come together and take back their power to protect LIFE; including the rich and abundant resources that were meant to sustain life for all, equally! One beautiful native elder at Standing Rock wisely reminded us that more important than a focus on who owns what – is the responsibility we have to protect the Earth!

Yes, this is an opportunity for AWAKENING and also, to be aware of who WE ARE BEING. Life is providing many opportunities in this NOW to become Conscious. Becoming conscious and vibrating with light, with truth and goodness, love and compassion ~ these 2 quotients are complimentary. Light = Consciousness. Consciousness = Light. It is so very important to allow no energy to come forth that is negative. Think back over the last month ~ from politics to corporate greed and the demonstration of military force… have you been able to maintain heart consciousness and a center of peace? The problems may be old and may appear to be worsening – but the question is, can we come together in a new way?

I feel this deep deep longing simultaneously rising from within the Earth and emanating as a canopy from the Cosmos… I feel and SEE this deepening remembrance of our own humanity finding its way to a new sense of responsibility and community, manifesting as ACTION in people of all ages and from all walks of life. No matter what your culture or religion ~ this NOW is showing us pretty strongly that this is the time of the prophecy of heaven on earth. From all four directions, above and below, far and wide, life, existence, the grandmothers and grandfathers, the Ascended Ones, elementals, the waters, the nature, the winged ones and 4 leggeds – ALL are calling for an awakening in perspective and consciousness. It is a time of the coming together of ALL tribes.

Today is the New Moon ~ I AM engaging the energy of this moon to deepen the awareness and greater thing Gettyimages 625638128happening at Standing Rock – this event is not something happening outside of or independent of your circumstance. Please recognize and own that awareness. This New Moon is in Sagittarius (as is the Sun) and is an important moon for building community, coming together with others and sharing your gifts, your true Self, in unique ways. As you honor this grandmother moon (Neesa), may that also include a deepening prayer to love ourselves, one another, our planet AND our water. Let this demonstration of so many from all walks of life in North Dakota initiate an expansive evolution in the way we unconsciously and consciously walk on this planet; in how we treat ourselves and the way that others treat our co-existence. As always, it starts with us

As I sit and share this space with you ~ the grace of rain falls gently on the nature here in Asheville. We have had weeks of severe drought and devastating fires – this rain, as with all water, is such a gift, I feel it filling the reservoir of my heart. When the fires began weeks ago and our beautiful landscape began resembling a much different climate and environment than it EVER has ~ I let the gardens go, I became much more aware of how easily I reached for the precious resource of water (laundry, showers, washing dishes, the car etc) and both cut my consumption in half ~ and began offering a conscious prayer to the water each time I used it, holding those at Standing Rock in my heart as I did so. The point is, as we are conscious and feel deeply the beauty and abundance of our planet – there are always things we can do, big and small, to respect and offer our efforts back, in gratitude. Water IS life. I pray that the efforts at Standing Rock help us to recognize that there is also, a bigger picture and stronger voice that must be exercised on behalf of every living thing – and ALL life. Now is the time to PAY ATTENTION, greatly so, to detail – to the vibrations that we carry and that we use to create. It is not for everyone to actually GO to Standing Rock, but there are many things you can do. These are YOUR people, your tribe, your brothers and sisters – and we can stand with them in various ways, playing our part, sending our love.

A34The day after Thanksgiving the Army Corps gave an ultimatum and deadline of later this week to shut the efforts down. Just yesterday, they reversed that decision, stating there are no plans for forcible removal of protestors and instead stated the objective of seeking a peaceful and orderly transition to a safer location. This is not a victory per say – but it shows promise, a loosening of the grip of the old. And now thousands of Veterans are heading to Standing Rock to stand in solidarity with the water protectors. This is HUGE. The pendulum continues to swing ~ seeking a new order and higher state of balance. ALL energy on our planet is seeking a higher order of being – if you are still and find the center within every outpicturing of chaos in the known reality – you will feel this deepening – this resolve, that there be victory on behalf of LIFE – of every child of the earth ~ to know peace, truth, Unity and the beauty of the Earth, always.

As we come into the season of giving and acknowledging the gift of LIFE through celebration and sacred stillness – know that your positive thoughts, intentions and prayers matter. If you are on any social media site – consider posting the following.

I stand with Standing Rock. The Dakota access pipeline must be stopped, the voice of the people heard and our clean water – protected! #nodapl #waterislife #standingrock #istandwithstandingrock

    You have surprised me, DeAnne, because you promote staying neutral. There is obviously a bigger picture going on here-as you have pointed out. I will make a donation. Restoring Mother Earth is a priority of mine. I pray for the highest good for all concerned.

    I have not seen much about Standing Rock on the TV news. I feel it is being supressed.

    I too have been conserving water here in CA. We have been able to cut our water usage quite a bit. This year we are having more rain then usual and it is such a blessing.

      I am confused by this response Judy ~ sharing love in support of the human family is ALWAYS an appropriate response? This IS a time of action – but the greater action comes from where we are vibrating always. We can shine love and take care with our use of resources and support those in need while remaining neutral in our trust of the out come? Remaining neutral pertains to the emotional and mental body – it never means to not take action, that would be more separation. This Standing Rock initiative is very important on many levels ~ we must hold high intention around it with our love. Hopefully that provides clarity so that you may take in this post not with thought and mind but with feeling and allowing. ????

      • joyfuljudy says:

        Thanks, DeAnne. I did need a further explanation. I will include that the highest good for all concerned manifest and hold high intention with love. All this xenophobia world-wide has to stop.

    Thank you for such a detailed list of the many ways that we can help. I’ve contributed and I’ve signed petitions, I’ve prayed and sent loving energy but I know I could do much more. This list will remind me daily to focus on being a positive force in this matter and to be relentless in my support. That’s the way change has happened in the past (civil rights movement and women’s suffrage movement)and I feel that’s the only way it will happen in the future.

    • DeAnne says:

      Gratitude darstar for your intention and love in this regard ~ many I know personally have gone, Asheville has a strong presence, even lending solar panels for warmth and cooking. I feel truly grateful for this moment and what is being demonstrated, strength and unity as a force for CHANGE! xo

  3. Jean says:

    Thank you for this post! I find my attention drawn to this situation as well and plan to attend a march in D.C. next weekend. I will also make some calls and donations.

    • DeAnne says:

      what is the march Jean – I AM attending the inauguration and million woman march in January – thinking I won’t be able to make it to DC 2ce – but I AM sure the same presence, intention and light is calling us to these demonstrations of solidarity! Miss you and sending you a hug and BIG love! xo

    I sent you a link to your facebook messenger. Sending a hug and BIG love back at you!! xo
