Call for Commitment to Communicate

Mano is asking me (and you) to interact and work with the elementals that live in our houses and yards. He arranged for a friend to send me Tanis Helliwell’s reprint of her book, Living with Leprechauns. She wrote the original book 10 years ago with the information and experiences she has had with the Leprechaun friend that had been assigned to work with her. The original book was instrumental in my accepting a deeper place for the work with Mano in my life.

An Angel, a Gnome, and a Faerie Being Walk Into My Life

REMINDER from Mano: Everyone who comes to the planet for earth life experience is accompanied by a Guardian Angel, and some other spiritual beings, to help them navigate life on earth and remember their Spiritual connection and their Divine Plan for spiritual growth and service while on earth. REMARKS from Barbara: Two weeks ago, I met Camilla Blossom. She shares a deep and vast relationship with nature beings in her newly released book, Sacred Spirits of Gaia. She shares stories of more than 30 Spirits she has connected…

Reminder to Relate

I started reading the book on Elementals Christmas Day. As I read the author, Karsten Massei, shares his relationship with elemental beings where they taught him about their life. Mano reminded me of some of my earliest experiences he had orchestrated around 50 years ago to open my heart to the reality of the elemental world.

Year In Review

I always take the last week of the year to review my life experiences, look to guidance on what is to come next year. This gives my council Mano, Rama, and Joseph, the opportunity to close areas of focus from last year and reveal areas they want to open and focus on this coming year.  Things are changing in my life after spending the month of June in and out of the hospital, living the whole month in deep sleep. I was pulled out of this deep sleep on June 28 when a very large masculine physical therapist pulled me to a sitting position and said, “Pull yourself up Barbara.  You are a strong woman, Pull yourself up. You are a strong woman, Barbara.” This statement was repeated at least 10 times until I thought, he is right, I am a strong woman, I can do it. As I pulled myself up, holding on to his large muscular arms, I felt life move back into my body. In some magical way I feel that he saved my life.

Presence Behind My Christmas Experience

Now my first year at Amity Lodge is still a big deal for me but fits into the category of Elegant Simplicity. A large Christmas tree of white lights and close to 100 little gnomes and gnome faces with tall hat, big nose, and large white beard. The house Gnomes are proud that they are the feature of this season. We all are grateful that while all of the other Christmas decorations went up in flames, The Raphael print of Mother and Child that has been the center of our Christmas focus since Peter was 1 year old was in the studio and did not burn.

Communicating and Asking for Help

REMINDER from Mano: It is my desire for each of you to know from experience the love and joy available when relating with the consciousness of nature. The little elves and gnomes are so desirous to work with you and learn the ways of human. They want to make your life easier. REMARKS from Barbara: When I am aware of the nature spirits in my house it gives me sweet joy and a feeling of love and protection. I just shifted my attention from the computer to the…

Deep Mind, Surface Mind

I have noticed two ways of thinking and interacting. I have identified and experienced havi­­­ng a deep mind and a surface mind. My Deep Mind is where Mano and my Council speaks to me and the Surface Mind is where my family and friends speak.  Guidance comes to the deep mind as a word or thought floats to the surface. Once walking into my bedroom, I heard the word SANCTUARY emerge from the deep mind. I realized I was to create that room as a Sanctuary for prayer and inner work as well as the place I sleep.

Coming Home to Myself at Last

Barbara missed writing the July blog, and is resisting writing this blog for August. She does not want to turn to Mary Jane for support, so I, Mano, am stepping forth to take over writing the blog. Since I want you to know what is going on in Barbara’s and my life, I will take over and write to you. It is really quite exciting to talk to you directly rather than through Barbara.

Bringing Spirit To Matter

REMINDER from Mano: Meditation, prayer, and intentions are all ways to accomplish the major work of bringing Spirit into the material world. This creates such a blessing in your life. Explore and consciously experience how your life changes when you consciously align with spirit. REMARKS from Barbara: I am getting closer to moving into my new home, ready almost two years after the fire. I send blessings to Mary Jane in gratitude to be able to share her blog this month since I felt too busy to write…
