Sharing Photos from Mt Shasta

When People go up there we tell them,
"Walk softly on Mount Shasta. Talk to it and pray upon it. It's your mountain as well as our mountain. Not only Native Americans but everybody in the world comes to this mountain".
Charlie Thom, Sr., Karuk Medicine Man
Like Japan's Mount Fujiyama, the 14,162 foot volcano, Mount Shasta, California is considered by many to be one of the Earth's seven sacred mountains.
Snowcapped Mount Shasta is located in the upper regions of northern California in the Shasta Trinity National Forest. It is a massive dominant stratum white giant standing 14,162 foot volcano situated in the largest zone of volcanoes in the world called the Pacific Ring of Fire. Mount Shasta is in a section of this ring called the Cascade Range, which begins where the Sierra Nevadas end and extends about 700 miles from northern California through Oregon and Washington into southern British Columbia. These volcanoes range in elevations from 9,500 feet to a towering height of more than 14,000 feet. Mount Shasta is the second tallest volcano in this range.
Mount Shasta is the most widely known sacred site of California. Towering above the Cascade foothills, Shasta is surrounded by five glaciers that hold it in place. This sacred mountain emits such a strong energy pattern, that satellite photos show an atmospheric hole over its peak similar to Sedona, Arizona.
Because of the strong geophysical forces within the mountain, there are steam vents, hot and cold springs, purification sites, electrical centers and caverns that have been used as power spots by the indigenous natives for hundreds of years. Many types of phenomena occur on and near Mount Shasta, as this mountain exhibits strong frequencies that create light shows.
All around the Mount Shasta area are extinct and dormant volcanoes, cinder cones, volumes of artesian springs, sacred caves and mystical caverns. The mountain carries a dominant characteristic of its versatile power, a power that seems to get stronger every day.
Over the last 70 years, numerous travelers have reported encounters with Higher Dimensional beings who live beneath and around the holy mountain.
UFO sightings are so commonplace there that there are books published with numerous photographs of craft so large they even dwarf the mountain itself. People on vision quests, ceremonies and camping expeditions have all seen, heard and felt the powerful vortex that is Mount Shasta.
Mount Shasta is also a site where people gather to perform sweat lodge and purification ceremonies. The intense purification of steam and heat within the sweat lodge mimics what is going on inside the mountain. The darkness of the lodge is almost maternal and stirs the goddess energy of one's spirit. The ceremony directs itself to the physical and spiritual cleansing of an individual as does the sacred mountain.
Many experiences have been documented from people all over the world seeing UFO craft come in and out of this mountain; mysterious openings inside the mountain where advanced inhabitants live; vortex energies & portals; mysterious lights that seem to come from inside the mountain; mountain energy fields that glow and much more.
It is believed that civilizations of highly evolved beings reside within the mountain. Some are believed to be in another dimension that are not currently visible. Yet at times many people from all over the world have experienced a diverse range of phenomena that continues to expand the mysteries of this spiritual sacred grounds.
Mount Shasta is legendary as one of the homes of the Ascended Masters where saints & angelic beings have revealed themselves over the centuries. Ancient legends of Mount Shasta reveal this holy site as where ancient ones lived in heaven on earth as they did in Asgard and Mount Olympus. Ascended Master Saint Germain's energy continuously radiates from the Temple of the Violet Flame deep in the inner recesses of the mountain. Many people all over the world see these mysterious lights and glowing energy emissions from this sacred mountain.
Many believe other Masters influence the energy of this area and are making this their headquarters during the Age of Aquarius that brings peace, love, abundance and wisdom. It is believed that Mount Shasta embodies the head of a huge geographical etheric energy grid.
This sacred mountain has given many people centuries of access to its energy centers. The pristine meadows, graceful slopes and isolated beauty of the mountain continue to provide a haven for those who seek sanctuary from the world that lies at its feet.
Whether your journey to Mount Shasta is metaphoric or also in person, the space I have created here in this blog is to chronicle your/my journey.

I Feel The Truth in This
We are witnessing the actual results of the Divine energies permeating the Earth in physical manifestations of the Light shining through the Darkness that have pervaded humanity for so long. As time speeds along, more and more people and institutions with nefarious agendas are being exposed. As we have reached the tipping point, the shift occuring will continue. We have this year into the next to finish up our individual housecleaning and to initiate new ways of living in the Divine One Consciousness. Things will continue to look ominous, probably more so, as TPTB will up their agendas to keep us in fear. They are losing the battle - running scared, if you will. Our challenge is to stay in our Peace, Neutrality and Unconditional Love as these events unfold.
Thank you Dragon527! I'm

For about a week now, I've been waking up at night and have times throughout the day where I am hearing the song "Return to Innocence". Now, it makes sense.

Meditation Helps You Feel Healthy Again
We meditate in the Soul Spa regularly on Monday nights, Wednesday nights, on the New Moon and on the Full Moon of each month. Some of us in the Soul Spa enjoy it so much we look forward to it like a particularly enjoyable special meal. It is spiritual food for us. Remember, we are what we eat.
Why meditate? Do you look in the mirror and think,
"How did I get so old?"
Slow aging down with meditation.

Thursday, February 15, 2013 How To Heal Yourself
Be Your Own Healer
If you have a healing experience with a practitioner that you think isn’t working there are several things you can do. You can follow up with the practitioner you went to. Tell them what you are experiencing. Sometimes there is a little energy tweak that can make all the difference to help you finish adapting to the new energies you invited into your field. Sometimes the healing will simply take longer. The deeper the healing you invite in sometimes the healing result takes longer. Be patient but be informed by communicating with your healing practitioner.
Energy moves into your body from Divine Source. Use your own intention and hands to touch the place that needs attention. Use your own intuition to help you locate and identify the areas of need within you. It is often emotional healing that must take place to heal a physical discomfort. Also, remember this. A wounded spirit prefers to dwell in a failing body. Be sure that you are not hosting a wounded spirit by repeating this affirmation 3 times;
“With the Authority Vested within me by Mother/Father God I command any spirits that are not my own to return to their own Higher Selves now.”
Once your energy is clear of any spirit hitchhikers you may begin to feel better instantly. If not, continue to use your own intuition to locate places of weakness in your body. Then ask those weak and pained areas of your body what messages they have for you. You may be surprised at the answers! It could be that your soul/spirit has been wounded and needs attention. Listen to those parts of you. Heal those emotional wounds. Your own self-healing process will be empowered when you come from your heart and give compassion to your own emotional issues.
Invite the Divine Source of Healing to enter you. Allow your body to flow into its natural tendency of wellness.
Accept the call to heal yourself first before you offer healings to others.
Remember, Healer, Heal Thyself First.

Beautiful Statement!!
Hi Robin,
Thank you for posting this wonderful reminder, I know this insight is inside me but I have often gone searching outside myself for answers and healing. It reminds me of the Wizard of Oz at the end when Glinda tells Dorthy that she has always had the power to go home:
"Glinda: You don't need to be helped any longer. You've always had the power to go back to Kansas.
Dorothy: I have?
Scarecrow: Then why didn't you tell her before?
Glinda: Because she wouldn't have believed me. She had to learn it for herself."
No more amnesia and taking the long road home :-)
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!!
michelle
Happy Valentine's Day to all
Happy Valentine's Day to all on the Soul Spa.

Just had to share. As you
Just had to share. As you were talking with the one gal, I felt Joseph's presence so strong. The one you helped me name from the abortion I had at 18.... I am also sensing MJ's presence as I listen to your show....great show! You're right.... if you're not happy with a particular person be it your spouse, partner, sibling, parent, friend etc...then YOU are the one that has to change. They are showing you the tendencies you have in your own life. I have tremendous experience with that as I have worked on ME and I see the response in my environment....so amazing! Hard to admit to...lol when you see ugliness!
Karen
Sound bowl healing, I ask for
Left you a phone message...could you send me and Nickki a sound bowl healing mixed in with a little Reiki.
All three of us seem to be low in energy.
And would you check on Nickki's absorbtion of her water drinking...she is cleaning her paws, but I haven't seen her cleaning her self...maybe because it tweeks her back.
Dr.Nels is helping us too, but he doesn't have answers to ...Does she want to tell me anything...or why she is still loosing her balance at times.
I hope she didn't pick up my worry of her on the desk and helping her down, or me crying last night for I am ready to write work another letter to get my insurance.
Thankyou for anything you can do for me, and for us.
Sue.Raspberry
I am going to be blunt Sue. Prepare before you read
I am going to be blunt Sue. Prepare yourself.
She is saying that when it is her time to go that she wants you and a friend of yours whose name begins with S to take her to the vet together to let her go.
I realize that may be impossible but I am communicating to you what I hear her saying. She is making her arrangements. She is showing me your sister on the other side and your parents. They will keep her safe and sound until it is time for you to cross over in decades to come. She says that doesn't mean she is ready to go imminently but she is preparing. She is trying to keep her balance between worlds.
I will send a crystal sound bowl healing and more to provide grace for you all.
I would call but I have several appointments.
Know I am with you all in Spirit.
Now McGraff is saying he would go would go with you both to the vet but he can't fit into the car.

A Valentine's Gift for You
"A woman's highest calling is to lead a man to his soul, so as to unite him with Source. Her lowest calling is to seduce, separating man from his soul and leave him aimlessly wandering.
A man's highest calling is to protect woman, so she is free to walk the earth unharmed. Man's lowest calling is to ambush and force his way into the life of a woman."
- Cherokee Proverb

Have you ever had a Couple’s Massage?
I have always wanted to have a couple’s massage experience with Bob. In December 2012 Bob and I joined Ashalyn of Shasta Vortex Adventures http://www.shastavortex.com/ for a Holiday Event in downtown Mount Shasta.
The store was having a silent auction to benefit the new park being built in town. Lo and behold the Sacred Mountain Spa was offering a couple’s massage as a donation in the silent auction! Bob bid on it for me! Can you imagine my excitement when we got it????!!!!
When we first walked into the Sacred Mountain Spa we were greeted by the owner. We were introduced to our masseuses. We then were escorted to seats that looked like thrones. Our shoes and socks were lovingly removed. Our feet were placed in a foot bath. As we began to relax we were brought warm cups of tea, and after a few minutes the foot massage began. As soon as my masseuse held my left foot I felt him tuning into me. I asked him, “I can see you are reading me? What are you getting?” He was startled. He doesn’t come across many people who have the gifts I possess. “You can see that I am reading you? I am sorry.” I said, “Are you kidding, of course you can read me? What are you seeing?”
Again he was reticent. Finally after much prodding he opened up and told me what he was receiving. As he spoke Bob grinned from ear to ear as this guy was nailing me with accuracy issues that I have been dealing. As he massaged each foot and lower legs, I about fell into my foot bath water I was so relaxed.
After a ½ hour of that bliss our feet were lovingly patted dry and then we were escorted into our massage room. Bob and I got onto our perspective massage tables. The masseuse knocked lightly on the door. Were ready for them? OH YES!
They came in. My masseuse stood at my feet. Then he began to pray. Let me tell you I have NEVER heard anyone pray so well before. He knew every Ascended Master’s name and more. He called them all in. Then he began to describe what he saw them healing on me. He moved about my body massaging, praying, invoking healing and describing in great detail what he saw within me. It was the most awesome massage ever! When he got to my abdomen he placed his hands over my tummy area. He began to chant like a Native American. I could feel the energy performing psychic surgery on me releasing energetic gunk that had been there for decades. Now ladies and gentlemen, that was one heck of a great massage experience! Bob was just as happy with his masseuse and he was so happy for me! I really enjoyed relaxing with my Valentine that way! My Divine Magician masseuse is Matthew Bueno. His website is: www.ascendedmasterangels.com . When you visit Mount Shasta be sure and book your massage with him at the Sacred Mountain Spa with Matthew.
OUR ANIMAL FRIENDS-A SPECIAL VALENTINE by Martha Norwalk
As I sit here writing this article, I am embarking on my new life back in the country near my farm, that I love so dearly. Most of you who read this article do not know me personally so you probably aren’t aware of my very recent move. Because the story I am about to share with you happened during that process, I want to give you some details.
I used to live on a farm in a beautiful rural community. I loved that location, especially the land with all of its inhabitants, plant and animals. I thought I might well spend the rest of my life there. That didn’t happen. After thirteen years there, my mom died and everything changed.
I sold my farm in order to move back to the big city to live with and care for my elderly father with dementia. At the time, I had no problem making that decision and leaving the farm as I knew and felt it was the right thing to do.
Even though my dad’s heart was broken without my mom, he went through the motions for about another 5 years. After he passed, I needed time to heal which made it okay to wait out the tax period before selling my parent’s house.
The time to sell and move had come. I started the process when I began to feel a “pull” back to my old neighborhood. It did not take long for me to know that I wanted to be back in the country that I had fallen in love with so many years ago. By the end of the summer, I had found my own “little piece of Heaven on Earth.” I did not know until after I made the move, that my new home was almost directly behind my old farm, just one road away! My city house sold and I moved back to the country.
Since this will be printed in the February, I wanted to write a special love story. This story may seem trivial to some but for me, it is the best kind of Valentine, a heartfelt thank you, full of love.
After my offer on my new home was accepted, my real estate agent Marie and I drove out for the official inspection. While the inspector was doing his thing, Marie and I were wandering around the property with the owner, Ben. He was teaching me all he could about the place.
In the backyard, beneath the forest of huge grandfather firs and cedars, there is a terraced area with a fountain. We had just walked back there to learn about caring for the fountain. Ben was talking about how to clean it. Marie was listening intently and I was gazing into the water.
Before I continue, just so you know, I walk my talk, at least I do my very best to do so. Respecting all life is important to me and talking to anything living comes so naturally to me, that I just do it, out loud, and it does not matter to me where I am or who is listening. My closest and dearest friends know this about me and Marie is one of those friends. Ben, on the other hand, had no clue.
While he was talking, the only thing that was on my radar was the little white moth that was drowning in the water. It was one of those inconspicuous tiny ones with a wingspan of less than an inch. It must have been attracted to the light or water in the fountain and fell in.
Immediately, I bent down and gently scooped the little one out of the water with my hands. With the moth on my palm, I held my other hand over it and as I was channeling to it some healing, light and Reiki energy, I spoke to the tiny creature. I said, “I am so sorry you fell in. I will do my best to help you.” I took a few steps to the nearest tree and placed the little one on a leaf in the sunshine to dry out. I put up a light pyramid around it. “I love you and God bless.” Back to the fountain lecture I went.
When people do not understand or get what one is doing, they often tend to just ignore it. That is what Ben did. I think Marie rolled her eyes, probably thinking “I hope this guy doesn’t think she’s nuts and cancel the sale.”
Sometime later the three of us were standing inside the large garage. Ben was explaining the generator and the door was open. Then out of nowhere, a beautiful, tiny, white moth flew into the garage. It flew around the three of us several times, then into the circle we had formed, making itself obvious to all of us. Then it headed straight for me, circled me and landed on my vest, directly over my heart. The love I felt from that tiny little creature was overwhelming. I teared up. All it said to me was, “thank you for helping us.”
Marie’s eyes were huge as she asked, “Oh My God, does this have anything to do with what you did at the fountain?” I smiled and nodded “yes.” Ben just stood there, silently, staring at the moth on my chest.

Raising Humanity by Robin ALexis and 22 story tellers.
Robin's intention for creating Raising Humanity is to raise consciousness through sharing soulful stories of people who remember that we are the teachers of peace for future generations. When we know and act upon our soul's inner guidance, we will persevere with faith through the harshest of conditions. Within Robin's perspective, she believes that no matter how old we are, it is never too late to birth ourselves into soulful living. Through inspiring stories such as the one written by David Isaacs, Emmy award–winning television writer/producer for MASH, Cheers, and Frasier, we learn that no matter what happens to us, we can see it as an incentive to raise our own consciousness and the global family that we are all a part of. May these true, heartfelt stories compel you to have the heart to change your focus and to teach this enlightened perspective to each other and to our children. Robin reminds us that it is never too late to transform our lives with the power of grace and the courage to change.

Valentine's Day Garbly Gook for you to ponder
Courtship in a Modern World – Queendom.com’s New Study Reveals That Chivalry Is Alive and Well
Queendom.com’s latest study reveals that while most courtship conventions have changed, some age-old romance rituals are still going strong.
Montreal, Canada – February 8, 2013. Queendom.com, a pioneer in online personality, IQ, and career tests, has released its newest study on gender roles in courtship behavior. Pulling up on a white horse this Valentine’s Day isn’t necessary, but at least some chivalry is a heart-melting must.
Some men hurtled, on horseback, with a giant stick in their hands. Emperor Shah Jahan built The Taj Mahal as a final resting place for his most beloved wife. Both Cleopatra and Juliet refused to live in a world where they couldn’t be with the one they loved. Thankfully, courtship conventions and romantic gestures need not be this extreme. According to Queendom’s data, most men and women take a modern approach to dating, but a little chivalry can still go a long way.
Collecting data from 950 men and 1621 women, Queendom’s research on gender roles and courtship reveals that:
•77% of men and 70% of women feel that a date can be initiated by either gender. In fact, 65% of the women have either asked a man out on a date, or would be willing to do so.
•67% of men and 60% of women believe that chivalry is important (e.g. opening doors, pulling out chair, etc.).
•60% of women still like to be wined and dined, at least in the initial stages of dating.
•26% of men want to be the one who controls how the relationship plays out (i.e. how many dates they should have, how fast the relationship moves, when to meet each other’s family). 39% of men would prefer to let the woman control the direction of the relationship, 35% prefer it to be a mutual decision. For women, 27% want to be in full control, 31% prefer to let men decide; 43% prefer it to be mutual.
•When it comes to popping the question, 66% of men and 65% of women think it’s fine for the woman to do the asking.
In terms of who pays for the first date (a long-standing debate), 47% of men feel that the man should pay; 24% feel that the bill should be split; 29% stated that whoever initiated the date should pay. On the women’s side, 31% feel the man should pay, another 31% feel that the bill should be split, and 38% indicated that whoever initiated the date should pay. And that old “play-hard-to-get” theory? Still just a theory. Only 19% of men and 28% of women believe that a woman should be mysterious and play hard to get for the first few dates.
“Women no longer need to play the more submissive, demure role – and it’s nice to see that both genders support this progress,” states Dr. Ilona Jerabek, president of PsychTests. “This doesn’t mean that men are off the hook and don’t need to put an effort into romance anymore. The modern woman still likes romance, but it’s now a shared endeavor, with both genders putting an effort into the relationship. What fascinated us most about this study was that younger men and women had somewhat more traditional courtship views than older age groups.”
Queendom’s age comparisons reveal several interesting differences:
•28% of men under 30 and 22% of men over 30 feel that the man should plan most of the dates.
•60% of men under 30 and 76% of men over 30 feel that a woman should be able to propose to a man.
•20% of men under 30 and 13% of men over 30 said that they would feel threatened by a woman who took control of what they did on the first date.
•26% of men under 30 and 14% of men over 30 believe that it should be the man who asks the woman out, not vice versa.

Here are some Valentine’s tips with a twist from Queendom:
•Forget the dozen roses. Buy one, wrapped with a ribbon.
•Show up at your partner's workplace and whisk him or her away for lunch.
•Place a love note in your partner’s lunch bag or on the bathroom mirror.
•Grab a blanket, a bottle of wine, and drive out to a place where you can see the stars.
•Slow dance in your living room.
•Avoid embarrassing lingerie no-nos. Take him to a lingerie store and show him all the naughty things you like.
•Meet at a local hang-out and pretend you’re two strangers flirting with each other.
•Build a little bonfire in your backyard and make chocolate Smores.
•Get tango or salsa lessons together.
