Ancient schools taught people how to observe the powerful events occurring in nature and connect them with the energy here on earth. We still have the ability to connect with nature in order to assist with our growth and development and, to cultivate balance and growth. I’m happy to present here a series of transforming activities for the three-day period of the Equinox. The Equinox ritual consists of two parts, the outward celebration and the inner rebirth.

Day One of the Equinox

It’s time for spring cleaning. Clean your house and remove all clutter. As you clean each room and the items in it, do so with reverence and appreciation for the abundance in your life. Cover your home in loving energy as you clean, picturing you and your loved ones in each room, feeling happy, content, joyful and relaxed. By this evening, you should be ready to smudge each room with white sage to purify and cleanse each room.

On the Eve of the Equinox

Reflect upon the thoughts and goals you set during the Fall Equinox and for the New Year. Consider the lessons and experiences of the past six months, and decide what is hindering progress with your goals.

Ask yourself: “What important seeds of truth need to be revealed this spring in order for me to truly know myself, so that I may blossom into my power-filled being? It’s time to awaken from my period of hibernation, inactivity and self-introspection and put these thoughts and plans into action!”

To awaken to your higher-self and activate your growth cycle, begin the spring equinox ritual by taking a shower. As the water flows over your body, imagine all negative thoughts leaving your mind, being washed away from you. As you dry off, say out loud, “All that happens, happens for good. Divine spring energy is working through me now!"

Day Two of the Equinox

This day is what people refer to as “Equinox Day.” It is the day to celebrate rebirth, renewal and abundance. It is a time to toast new plans of action and growth, as you are becoming “a garden in bloom!"

Celebrate with rituals that include creating and sharing spring equinox gift baskets with your loved ones and friends. The day culminates with dinner to celebrate renewal, rebirth and the magic of the seasons, life and all the wonder it brings, along with sharing dreams you plan to bring into fruition this year. This is a powerful day to put plans into action.

In ancient times, the spring equinox was celebrated with an outward and inward celebration:

• Outwardly: people celebrated with egg hunts, (a symbol of the earth and rebirth), by giving and decorating with bunnies, (a universal symbol of fertility for spring, the act of creation with birth and mind, and turning thoughts into fruition) and by giving baskets, (a symbol of abundance). A special dinner with family and friends is also common to celebrate the return of spring and renewal.
• Inwardly: people took action on the seeds (goals) that they planted during the fall equinox. Spring presented the time and divine opportunity to step forward and create oneself anew, with the tools of gratitude, abundance and creativity.

Day Three of the Equinox

Celebrate the renewal of spring and the divine feminine energy which is present everywhere in nature at this season. This is the time to emerge from introspection and self-observation into spring renewal, with the focus being on action, creation and celebration.
Here are some suggestions to activate your creative side and bring new perspective and balance into your life.

• Plant flowers in the garden
• Take on a new creative project (preferably something new you have not done before)
• Decorate your home in bright new colors
• Express gratitude for the abundance of opportunity in your life
• Accept new challenges in order to grow and step closer to your goals
• Embrace the future by spending time with the people in your life who will encourage your dreams and aspirations.

The spring equinox is a great time to jump start your goals, but this ritual can be done anytime in spring for wonderful and positive results. It has never made real sense with our current Julian calendar that one would create new year resolutions in the dead of winter, on January 1. Your dreams were planted as seeds of thought in the fall, and now is the time to tend to your garden and bring forth beautiful blooms of creativity. You haven’t failed at your new year resolutions, "You’ve only just begun!"

Decide what actions you will take immediately, and proceed from there. May the journey into the transformative sacred garden of spring grow with delight as you take each step!

I have heard talk that Obama is the anti-Christ and/or a mere pawn in the New World Order. Do your spirit guides have anything to say about Obama or about groups like the Illuminati or the Freemasons? What are your own thoughts about the idea that the world is secretly being run by a group of spiritually powerful individuals?

There have always been hidden realms of power whose goal is to manipulate and influence us. Groups kike the Illuminati and the Freemasons have existed for centuries and appear to have a common goal.

The Illuminati is believed to be a select group of people who are the power behind a shadow government running our world. Their ultimate goal is to control the worldís governments, finances and military. The Illuminati are credited with deciding who will be elected president, which religions will prosper, and who will have ultimate control. They appear to practice a form of black magick that gives them power to form the New World Order you refer to.

There are many theories about the identity of the anti-christ. Holding President Obamaís actions up against these theories does suggest some resemblance. There are two events to watch for that will confirm that the anti-christ is in power. One is that the antichrist's reign will last three and a half years. The second is that during this phase, world peace will become a reality. If we keep these two concepts in mind, we can watch for them as confirmation of Obamaís true identity.

Even though these groups exist, that doesn't mean we're all doomed. Just as people have moved away from corrupt religious and political entities, we always have the freedom and the responsibility to seek higher ground. The more we can educate ourselves about these groups, the greater chance we will have of counteracting their activities. The more we work to strengthen our own spiritual resources, the less power they can wield over us as individuals.

We can't fight these clandestine groups on the physical plane, for they already appear to own the government and legal system. Our best defense is to counteract the negative energy they create by increasing our own spiritual wisdom and resources. Meditation is essential. We should also pray to promote global healing, enlightenment and spiritual protection. We must share our knowledge with others as we learn more about these groups, for awareness is the first step toward change. Spirit can direct us on how to respond, challenge or avoid being pulled into the designs of these dark forces.

Those of us who live a spiritual life know that what happens in the physical world has little impact on us as long as we stay strongly connected to the Divine. As these entities thrive, we must keep in mind that we are always protected by a force much stronger than any group that attempts to practice black magick for their own gain.

Mata:

Many intelligent, educated people carry a deep mistrust of change. This is what gave birth to and continues to feed the strange paranoia behind conspiracy theories. The internet and other mass media are wonderful things, but in the hands of paranoid people, they can become powerful tools of misinformation.

Those who spread conspiracy theories about how evil forces are trying to take over the world are under the delusion that they are the savvy few who have figured out the truth, and the rest of the world is under the spell of power-hungry manipulators. However, from the higher spiritual perspective I'm being shown, it's the people who live in fear and promote conspiracy theories who are under a dark spell.

You're probably wondering where these ideas came from if they're unfounded. I believe two fear-driven groups can be pinpointed: the extreme political right, which is profoundly distrustful of government in general, and the extreme religious right, which sees Satan's hand in everyone and everything outside its own church doors.

There have always been people who run around yelling that the sky is falling, but with the explosion of the internet, these theories have seeped into mainstream culture. If we're going to worry about anyone, I think we should worry about conspiracy theorists, for people who are terrified are capable of doing all sorts of crazy things in the name of defending themselves from imaginary threats.

I am NOT suggesting that all politicians are good-hearted, selfless public servants, or that the government has never done anything evil. People do selfish things all the time in order to get what they want or keep themselves out of trouble, and this includes people in political power.

However, from the perspective I'm being shown, most politicians have far more light, character and sanity about them than people who promote conspiracy theories, who are shown to me as surrounded by darkness, steeped in fear, and out of touch with physical reality. (They'll probably call me a servant of the devil or an Illuminati agent and claim I wrote this article in order to lull all of you into a false sense of security!)

It's easy to understand why these groups and other pessimists would feel uneasy: they're afraid of change, and change is inevitable. We actually are moving toward a global government, and people are rejecting conservative religious traditions in favor of personal spiritual journeys. Instead of being something to fear, however, I think these changes will on the whole prove positive for humankind.

Astrea:

Many times in life we hear, "You will always have what you NEED, but not necessarily what you WANT." Your spirit must have needed to experience the feeling of leaving your human body, and the suggestion in the next chapter of Sylvia Brown's book was all it took to get you there.

Even though you hadn't read it yet, your SOUL recognized the title of that chapter as something it had been seeking, and your soul, knowing that you had that reference to read after your experience, got with it and out you went!

While I don't usually recommend her books, Sylvia Brown has a wide reaching and powerful effect on lots of people. A Gemini like you would be able to relate easily to her writing and put it to good use. Synchronicity - you gotta love it!

I like your description of "getting caught." That's exactly what it feels like, isn't it? One minute you're free and hovering above the room, and the next minute, ZAP! back down into your corporeal form you go!

As a little kid, I loved that "feeling of return." With practice, most of the time we can control that event, but sometimes, when our physical ears hear a distracting noise or something else occurs to knock us back into reality, back we go. With practice you will be able to control your return better.

I find it interesting that you were visiting your mother-in-law and not someone in your own genetic family. Evidently, you and your husband got married for reasons that are even deeper than love. His family's interest in "psychic stuff" will nurture your children in such matters and help them to grow into their own abilities.

You'll never have to be concerned that when your daughter visits them, she'll be discouraged from exploring her own psychic life and power. My parents encouraged me to develop my psychic senses in a time when it wasn't nice to even discuss such things in public. Heck, it's STILL not considered a great topic at the dinner table in some families!

Your kids will get to talk about it ALL and ask questions and read and study. This is going to give them such an edge in life! Talk with your husband about how you want to present this to your kiddos, so that you are united in your approach and ready to tell them their experiences are all natural and okay.

A word or two of warning: Geminis often have difficulty staying grounded in REAL LIFE. Don't get so strung out on your ASTRAL life that you neglect what you're doing here on Earth.

You are at the beginning of a long journey to learn where your power really lies. Try to be patient with this process and take your time.
