Listening to the Seed of Hope

Greetings,
How does one express an extraordinary experience that transcends time and space? Words appear sorely inadequate and yet it is through the written word that we can convey a frequency of the experience through the telling of a story. So please take this in and feel the essence of this message.
I first met the seed rock in March 2022, during our transformational journey to South Africa. During this part of our excursion, we were with Dean Liprini, author of Pathways to the Sun. This seed rock opened me up in a way I cannot explain with words. I felt something deep in my body, a remembering, as tears flowed. It called me back to spend more time there.
This place was once a granite island in the middle of the ocean surrounded by mountains. This area is the second-largest outcropping in the world. Granite is known as the “bones” of our earth. These Bones hold the ancient memory of who we are, like crystals they carry the messages of the earth’s history.
They hold the impression of our Earth Mother, her breasts, belly, and vulva are here in the rock. Even the “seed” of new life exists here upon this granite rock mountain, standing tall, round, and ready for when new life emerges.
This sacred journey to the mother rock informed me in ways that were profound. It confirmed the work of my next book which has been sitting in the ethers waiting for the right timing and direction. Everything fell together to bring spirit into matter, to give clear direction to its course and to our world, “Hope” amid chaos at this critical time in our evolution.
In our world right now, it may be hard to find Hope with so much devastation, alienation, division, and upheaval. But during all this chaos, something is happening that is quite magical. We are beginning to remember our ancient history. More and more messengers are reminding us of our connection to nature, the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, air, and spirit.
We are hearing the voices of the ancient ones, messengers calling us to the next right step in our journey, whether personal or universal. It is all a part of the collective shift.
Like the mountain lion in Springfield! And interestingly, I attended a sweat lodge during my time in South Africa in October, and the mountain lion was the animal brought into our lodge! In the southern hemisphere, we brought in the northern hemisphere lion, the mountain lion. On my return, the mountain lion was in Springfield not too far from our home.
As we remember our relationship with nature, we come into balance with Mother Nature and Father Sun. We integrate our sacred masculine and sacred feminine energies, as both are needed to manifest a new life on earth. We come into alignment to support this new birth.
I remember the blog I wrote in the June 2022 Aahara Newsletter. When I returned from leading our transformational journey to South Africa, I was in a tizzy, as I felt called to go back to Paarl Rock but had so much self-judgment. It was a big process. But I put one foot in front of the other and did indeed go! And I felt the universe so clearly supported me: once I made the commitment, all fell into place.
From June's blog--"This "Seed of Hope" is being activated in each of us. We are remembering our "Inner Authority", our truth. What is your inner tyrant saying to you? What is this voice asking for you at this time in our evolution?".
The work we do on ourselves supports us in remembering our sacred contract. Here at Aahara, we are offering programs that support this unfolding, through the Shamanic Healing Initiatory Process (SHIP), Warriorship, Fem- Mas-Cue-Lin class, Shamanic Breathwork, Transformational Journeys, and more. We would love to have you onboard as we embody a new warrior energy and midwife in this new way of being, one soul at a time.
Note: Carley recently returned from a Vision Quest to Paarl Mountain in South Africa in October 2022. Dean Liprini and Terry de Vries both joined me for this Vision Quest. This experience was transformative! The photo is of me walking down from the Paarl (pearl), known also as the “Seed of Hope.”
Much Love and Gratitude
