Chakras
& Vortexes
of Mother Earth

Mother
Earth breathes, just as we do. Among Native
Americans and Tibetan cultures, the process is
known as her lunar (night) and solar (day)
breaths. There are areas where she actually
exhales or inhales. In the Southwest area, the
Hopi region known as Black Mesa is where she
expels her lunar breath each night. The
resulting wind from the exhalation is known as
spirit wind. Anyone who has experienced this
incredible phenomenon will know immediately
what it is, because it has a sound that is
highly unusual, almost eerie, although not in
a negative sense. I've seen tree limbs crack
in the wake of the spirit wind as it shrieks
through our canyon on some nights. It comes
suddenly, without warning, and has nothing to
do with the prevailing weather or its
patterns.
Tibet
is known as the region where the Mother
inhales her solar breath. Anyone who has been
in a cave, especially a large, deep one, has
experienced an incredible sense of nurturing
energy, as though in the Mother's womb, as
well as the breathing of the cave. These
regions where she breathes are also powerful
points on her surface. The Hopi zealously
guard the Black Mesa area for many reasons
both secret and sacred. They are the keepers
of this mesa, and they are charged with its
well-being just as the Druids were charged to
keep their vortexes clean, operational, and in
good repair.
Just
as our bodies' chakras can open, close, or get
blown out by a severe shock or trauma, so can
those of Mother Earth. Ideally, when we are in
perfect harmony, all our chakras are open and
running. However, most of us aren't there yet,
so our chakras are at different stages of
opening or closing down or are clogged with
positive ions which I call "goo".
Some or all of their petals/propellers might
have been damaged, shredded, or torn off by
some terrible trauma or shock.
Mother
Earth is in a situation similar to ours. All
her chakra points are not open but might be
shut down, clogged with etheric debris or
ripped so that the energy isn't being funneled
out or in properly. The Druids of long ago
used song, sounds, and ceremonies to keep a
chakra open, cleaned, and in proper working
order. That is what the series of mounds
throughout the Mississippi Valley were about:
taking care of major chakra points in order to
ensure the smooth, operational running of the
north-south energy grid through that region.
Clogged
Chakras on Mother Earth
When
these chakras get clogged with debris, they
slow or simply shut down and refuse to work.
That means that the energy flowing into that
region is diminished or denied. When this
happens it will, over time, deprive a region
of fundamental, life-giving energy. The
results can be catastrophic. The latest
example of this is California. No one has ever
seen such a series of devastating natural
disasters. First, a series of earthquakes,
then fires, now mudslides.
In
September of 1993, I went back to my original
"home" where my first vision was
given to me: the sequoias of California, high
on the western slopes of the Sierra Mountains.
I had been going back there, usually at the
autumnal equinox, for almost sixteen years.
The sequoias were a real power center, but it
had been ten years since I'd last visited my
friends. When I reached them this time, the
sacred energy that used to be there was gone.
I was in shock as I walked through the groves
of my friends. I asked them, "What
happened?" They told me, sadly, that they
could no longer hold back the negative energy
of Los Angeles with all its gang wars, the
city having become a war zone. Their energy
had been moved.
My
trees told me that because they could no
longer pump the vital, life-giving energy into
Mother Earth in this region of southern
California and part of Arizona (the Grand
Canyon), it was now barren. Without positive
energy being given to the region, the negative
or dark forces could run amok without any
interference and could literally take over.
It
was September of 1993 when I was told this.
Shortly after that, devastation hit southern
California. Earthquakes have been
proliferating throughout this region,
including the Grand Canyon, indicating that
the land is showing the stress of the loss of
this vital, life-giving, balancing energy.
It
isn't going to stop for southern California,
because a major energy center has shut down.
Some day, I'm sure, this vortex will reopen,
but right now, it has stopped completely. The
pollution by humanity both by car engines and
by prejudice, hatred, and anger has done even
more damage to the sacred energies of this
region. Because the energy has moved, it
leaves the region wide open for all kinds of
natural disasters. These "disasters"
are Mother Earth's way of cleansing the
region, getting rid of the disease that has
resulted in her going out of harmony, thereby
causing the energy that rightfully belongs
there for her continued health to leave. She
will do everything in her power to cleanse the
area -- and I've got to say that fire, rains,
and mudslides are certainly cleansing
activities. So is wind and so are earthquakes.
I
don't pretend to be a prognosticator of future
events in an area, but I can speak from my
knowledge of the gridwork and etheric body of
Mother Earth. Once they are messed with, then
disasters to cleanse a region are not at all
uncommon. The "infection" in
southern California has created disharmony for
her, and I know she won't stand still for it.
If you had a wound on your body, you'd
instantly cleanse it to get rid of infection,
wouldn't you? So will she.
When
an area is sufficiently cleansed, then the
energy will return and the chakra will
gradually, over time, open up and begin to
spin again, absorbing and transferring the
life-giving energy back into the region. We
can do our part to help keep a power point
clean and functioning or to stop the
encroachment of negative energy.
Replenishing
Chakra Centers
Many
times when I go into a chakra region in
Sedona, Arizona, I carry my flute or drum or
take the pipe or a ceremony into the vortex to
give back to it. I take nothing from a vortex
because that's not my job as a pipe carrier.
Each song that is sung, each drum that is
beaten, each pipe that is smoked, each rattle
that is shaken will bring positive energy into
the vortex if you're coming from the heart.
You don't need to know about ceremony or be a
pipe carrier in order to bring light, love, or
positive energy into a chakra. I meet a number
of other like-minded, sensitive people on the
trail, either going in or coming out, who are
also carrying ceremonial items such as the
above, to do the same thing as I have done --
help support the region in a positive way.
A
friend of mine, Michele Burdet of Switzerland,
is a dowser and during a recent visit, we
traded information about her findings in the
great churches of Europe by using her
techniques and knowledge. I invited her to use
her dowsing abilities on the land we caretake,
especially where my hogan is built over a
vortex. By using her own techniques, she told
me it was feminine energy, a sacred and
ceremonial energy center. She was right.
You
can feel the gridwork and chakras without even
realizing it. In training my facilitators, I
put them through several exercises that help
to bring out and emphasize their own natural
abilities to sense these sacred areas. First,
go to an area that you like. Often this is a
high-energy area of some kind. Sit down. Close
your eyes and get comfortable, perhaps in a
meditative state. Take a deep breath through
your nose, deep into your body, and then
release it through your mouth. Do this three
times. This is an Apache breathing technique
that is designed to switch you from the left
hemisphere of your brain, which will keep you
anchored in the third dimension, over to the
right hemisphere, where you can connect
directly into the cosmos and into your own
intuitive self in order to feel these
vibrations.
Once
this is done, just relax and feel, see or
sense what comes to you in the form of
impressions. When in the region of an Earth
chakra there is always a spinning sensation
that comes from your root chakra at the base
of your tailbone, and you will rock. You will
rock, usually, in an east-west direction or in
a north-south direction. These are indicators
that you're on a pretty powerful spot.
I
never enter an area such as this without first
giving an offering of cornmeal, tobacco, or
food to the spirits who inhabit the region.
Then I always ask permission; I ask if I may
walk into that area. I explain that I come in
a sacred way to give back to the place, not to
take from it. If I am going to sing, I tell
them I am going to sing. I wait for either a
yes or a no. You'll feel it, believe me. If I
get permission, I go into the area.
There
are some sacred areas that are only female or
only male, and the area wants only one gender
or the other. I know of a number of places up
in Oak Creek Canyon [Sedona] that are strictly
male areas, and many medicine men take their
male students there. I would never think of
going into those areas because I am a woman
and of different energy. To do so is to be
disrespectful and is also to influence the
male energy that is there for a good reason.
Honor these differences.
This
is only scratching the surface regarding the
chakra centers, the vortexes, that cover
Mother Earth's etheric body. You can help her
to get better, even to get well, if you work
with these special areas of energy by coming
from the heart and giving something of
yourself, such as a song, an offering, the
playing of a musical instrument or whatever
else you might think of that would be
appropriate.
Our
Mother is hurting; she is diseased, thanks to
us humans. What we've done wrong, we can
right. So go seek out these places and give
back. I know she'll appreciate your generosity
of heart and spirit.
