Wordless Wednesday: Peru

I am off to Peru in  a few weeks with a group of spiritual adventurers so what better to meditate with/on than pictures of Peru. These two pictures were taken when I hiked the Inca Trail in 1996, the last time I was there.

World Water Day 2010

4,500 kids will dies today from dirty water Lack of clean water affects so many people on this planet. I have long supported Charity: Water. 100% of any money donated goes directly toward building wells. Today is World Water Day, let’s all make a difference.

Today if you can’t help financially say a prayer, imagine angels bringing clean, clear water to every person on this beautiful planet. Perhaps forgo a cup of coffee and help the people in Haiti and the world today.

Haiti and the aftermath of the devastating earthquake has been in the news a lot. Here is a video from Charity: Water. Wouldn’t it be  nice if every man, woman and child had clean water on this beautiful planet we call Earth?

With love and aloha,

Spring Equinox Ceremony

I got up early and went to my hale by my pond and did a wonderful Spring Equinox Ceremony. I recorded it and took a video but it was my first attempt with my Iphone and it id didn’t work very well. Here is the audio and some still shots of the pond from my sacred hale.

Soon the lotus and water lilies will be in bloom and the butterfly Koi will be lazily swimming along.

Enjoy!

Sacred Sites of Peru and Machu Picchu

I just had two people drop out of this amazing trip so I am letting you know if one of those spots is for you email me immediately. This is a once in a lifetime adventure and opportunity.

Merging with the Divine
Led by Dr. Susan Gregg

April 17th-May 1st, 2010

clip_image002[1]Of all the sacred sites, Machu Picchu is amongst the most talked about and mysterious. Truly there are more questions asked than answered regarding its purpose and ultimate demise. Imagine a city of incredible structures built using 50 ton blocks of stone fitting so perfectly together (without mortar) that you cannot fit a hair between the joints! Five square miles of astrological perfection sits majestically on top of a misty mountain in the Andes (8000 feet). Located two thousand feet above the rumbling Urubamba river, the city remained untouched and undiscovered until Yale archaeologist Hiram Bingham explored it in 1911.

clip_image004[1]On this spiritual journey, we will be using the energies of this amazing country to assist us in experiencing the divine within. Peru is the perfect place for this adventure of ceremony and inner exploration of the heart. We will be joined by several Peruvian Shamans who are great sources of the ancient Inca teachings and traditions.
Using the three levels of the Inca’s mythology of transcendence, we move from the dark underworld of our own minds to the clarity of spiritual consciousness. The snake, puma and condor will be the symbols we use to represent our spiritual ascension for these 11 sacred days together.

Cusco, Ollantaytambo, the Sacred Valley, Moray and Tipon are some of the locations we will explore. There will be ceremony, and deep personal exploration on this incredible and sacred spiritual retreat.

Once a Week

A friend of mine Larry Czerwonka recently posted this on his blog and he was kind enough to allow me to share it with you.

Too much time is spent complaining about what is wrong in our community and not enough time is spent lifting up what is good and thanking the people that are doing good.

When was the last time you came across a letter to the editor that was positive? Why are our days filled with the sounds of people complaining? And are we guilty of adding to the chorus?

Make a commitment that starting today and once a week for the rest of your life you will sit down and hand write a note to someone somewhere thanking them for what they have done. It could be your child’s team coach or their teacher, it could be the person that waits on you at your favorite restaurant, and it could even be the government official that did something you were pleased with.

Be the change you want to see in your community by also being the person pointing out the good that is happening everyday around us.

One note, the thank you MUST be hand written and sent through the mail, an email or computer generated note will not do. Some of you must be there in the words of gratitude.

With love, gratitude and aloha,
Susan
