Mistress Peony: Healing

December 14th, 2002

Healing Transcript

—I call us into Sacred Space.  And I ask for the guardianship and the blessings of the Grandmothers and the Grandfathers of the 4 Sacred directions, the 4 Sacred elements.

I give thanks for the connection that each of us has to Mother Earth.  And I invite each of us to feel that connection at the base of our bodies.  

And to draw on that energy that our circle be full of energy.  That our circle come from each one of us.  And the strength of it flow through each one of us.

And I also welcome Father Sky, and the universe which holds Mother Earth.  

Into this Sacred circle I invite also the Spirit guides and teachers of those who are present.

And I ask that those who are ready to shift to a guide of a higher quality or level of consciousness.  That their guidance come in this night, and into this circle.

I ask that you serve as a council to the blessed ones who speak through me.  So that each one can have their questions answered.  The questions that have been spoken, and those that have not been spoken.

So that each one can tonight can have a piece of their Soul’s path revealed for them.  Whether it be with full awareness.  

Or whether it unfold before them in their night dreams.  Or in their waking moments.  Or in the days to follow.

Into our Sacred circle we create another circle.  

And I invite each person now to think of another who would benefit from Spiritual healing, and place them there.—

Good Evening.  

—Good evening.—

I’m Mistress Peony.  And we are endeavoring to be fully with you here this evening.  

We feel some sorrow spoken, unspoken in our circle.  And we are rejoicing for the joy.  And each of you who has expressed joy has known deep sorrow.  

And why is this a necessity? 

Your world and our world, existence is full of polarity.  And when your life becomes quite intense with polarity, and joys and sorrow, you are at least alive.  

And you are processing what is truth.  And this is a better place to be.  This is a place to strive to be. 

Not that you must always accept sorrow, because your life can be happier and happier.  And if you are on your path, which each of you is, then this is what will occur for you.  

And we’ve already talked many times that you are not to do this alone.  The human path is with the help of others.

Although time alone can be extremely rich.  And can yield you connection with yourself.  Which otherwise with too much distraction is impossible. 

But what I’ll say, too, is, sometimes we retreat from the realness of our emotion.  And we come to a place which is more comfortable and more controlled.  

Which may allow us to feel more in command, more self-assured.  

Which may serve to encourage others to feel self-assured about us, or this person has it together.  This person knows something. 

And I would just caution you to be aware.  And cautious if you find yourself very consistently with one identity.  Because it may be a forgery.  

Does this have meaning for anyone?  Or just as a general, does this have meaning?  

Of course it doesn’t refer to you.  It may refer to someone you know.  

But it is an easy trap to fall into.  Because the world in reality is so consistently full of the unknown.  And this is frightening.  

And in the political situation, many of you who were very concerned and politically conscious.  And talking a great deal about the political are ceasing to do so.  

And it is a resting time.

And yet the forces are still very much active.  And so, we say to you to rest, to gather your strength.  

We’ve said this all along.  But keep your ears open.  Because it is a false assurance to feel that it is safe now.  And to feel that the world is stable.  And I say this, of course, not to spread fear.  

But to spread your deep knowing that your soul’s work is of primary importance.  And your soul’s work involves the healing of yourself first.  

And you cannot heal anyone else if this is not healed.   Well you can do very good work.  You can, it’s true, do very good work.  

All you healers know what I’m talking about.  That you can put your Higher Self in control of the healing, and you can heal and do for another what you are not yet doing for yourself. 

So this, in a sense, is a beautiful thing.  And yet it is not what we wish for you to stay there.  

It is good to show up, and to do your responsibility, and to give your gifts to others.  But it’s not a place to stop.  

Because your own healing is the greatest gift you can give to the world, your own healing.  And I know that some of you say, “I know this.  I know that.”  

But I invite you to explore the depths to which you live this.  And the edges to which you dare to bring yourself in the pursuit of this.  

Do you dare bring yourself to vulnerability?  

Do you dare bring yourself to tears before a loving friend?  

Do you dare to experience your sorrow?  

Do you dare to reach out for assistance? 

So, I know that the words can seem simple.  And so much of what you’ll ever hear that has truth to it does seem simple.

And yet it is the living of it which you come to, remind yourself of through your spiritual practices.  And through the people that you meet.  And through the friendships that nurture you best.  And through the healing that you do. 

Now, I’ve given a bit of a lecture.  

I wish to shift the energy in the space now.  

And as I come more strongly into this body.  Where she is pushing the edges of my presence.  Or my presence are pushing her edges. 

And so, I invite you to come into your bodies.  And I invite you to draw from the Earth.  She is the ground of your being on this planet.  

I invite you to connect to the sky and the universe above.  

And I invite you to sense the core of your being.  And let that core expand.  

And let yourself radiate amongst this energy which is available to you.    

Now, those of you who know how to channel energy, gin up your energy.  Very beautiful.  Don’t stop.  That’s very beautiful.

Now, in the circle are others who have pain of transition, pain of physical illness.  A fight with death, which has only one outcome.

Each one of you, energy conscious or not.  Lend some of your loving intentions to this circle.  Be powerful right now. 

I invite you to explore power within yourself.  

I invite you to sense the core of your being.  Be full of an energy which is fluid, and yet strong as rock.  

I invite you to explore this sense of power.  For this will carry you through those things we are saying. 

Now, for some, you work on aspects within yourself which are healing.  You work on energies which are, you’re processing, which are from your past.  

And still find this core, and find a flame in it which is strong.  And develop a faith in this core, this flame, this channel of energy.  

So that you work from within yourselves as well as from without.  

You work by talking.  You work by energy work.  You work by prayer.  You work in relation to others. 

This is very ultimately personal.  This is a space which only you can inhabit.  

So in this time tonight.  In this moment, try to sense this place.  Because it is modeled for you here in my being.  

And if it does not make sense to you.  Or if you feel you are not up to this.  Then give yourself permission to take it into your dreams.  

Give yourself permission to explore this in the future.

Now, what this strength of core does in addition, is it provides you with boundaries.  

Each of you who have been hurt by another has a struggle to learn about boundaries.  And this applies to nearly every human being.  

So, as your core is solidified, your boundaries are as well.  Your sense of self-definition is more tangible.  

So you see and feel the attacks before they penetrate your being. 

I can love you more greatly because my boundaries are very clear.  I can embrace you with my love because my core remains the same.  

It does not flood out to you.  It is my core. It is my stability.  

And from this place I can let flow a love that is a healing balm. 

And so it is with you.  And so it shall be increasingly if you can choose this.  If you can feel comfortable and honest with yourself regarding your own vulnerability.  

Paradox, yes.  Talking of power and vulnerability.  And talking of love and strength.  Very good.

So, does someone have a question for me please? 

—Mistress Peony—

Yes.

—Do you have a suggestion for me about how I might be able to best dream?— 

Well, first I would say you will need to reference your sensuality.  You will need to temper your physicality. 

So, we advise fragrance baths, in darkness with candles.  And we suggest doing so in a ritual which you evolve step by step.  

So it’s not what your mind plans out.  

But it is instead something which you walk the ritual, surrendering to each piece of it coming to you.  And so it’s a great act, and process of surrender for you. 

And it’s a process, too, of the imagery.  You must drink in imagery.  

You are drinking color now, and this is correct.  This is good, drinking color.  Drinking imagery.  Making no sense. 

And then, as you drink color and imagery, you can look at lots of art books.  And you can look at the shapes and the colors that appear.

And one of the things that you seek to do is to enter into the 3 dimensional.  And this is correct.  But it is the dimensional where it is more like the etheric. 

And so any process which opens your throat chakra will help you.  

And any drawing, and playing that you do with the sense of here’s a point in space.  And it can go in this direction with lines or shades.  It can go in this; it can go in this; it goes in all. 

Play with images.  See images where the shapes are multi-dimensional.  

And let your communication between two halves of the brain equalize out.  Perhaps for you stronger on the right brain.  Bring in these things for stimulation of the right brain.  And so quieter on left.

And then once the dynamic between those two become more in balance for you, you will play.  You see, it’s not work for you, it’s play.  

And then the images will become alive for you, and you will be able to go through doorways. 

So, if you find this multi-dimensional shape which you are intrigued by.  Then what would happen if you step through it?  Take yourself.  Step through the shape.  

Where would it take you?  What is on the other side?  

What is the perspective of where you came from when you look back?  It’s as if you’ve walked through a mirror. 

And certainly for anyone, if you would like to practice very fruitful dreaming time.  Do your energy practices.  Not like exercises necessarily, or “have to’s” kind of thing.  

But when you lay down, see if you can shift your energy field.  So, you go out of the left brain definitely.  And you allow your right brain to fully be present. 

Go to your body, to the senses of your body.  Feel the energies changing as you breathe.  As you bring consciousness to yourself.  As you maybe tune into your chakras.  

And call yourself into Sacred space.  Calling the influences of someone or some being which you love or admire.  And not a real person, go higher than that.  

And even if this is an image for you that you know.  A Sacred image that you have seen in art.  

What calls your soul to wakefulness?  

And be guided by joy and peace.  

Because if you are trying too hard, you will not achieve it. 

If you allow your sense of, “Oh, I perceive slightly more relaxing.”  

And then see if you can stay with that state until it expands.  

You say, “Ah, I perceive peacefulness now.”  

See if you can stay with that spot until it expands.  And until it holds your entire physical body.  And then let the boundaries of your skin dissolve in that.  

And allow yourself to become an energy which is expanded within a safe cocoon.  Wherein only that which is Sacred and that which adores you is there.  

And then you let yourself melt.  And then you will naturally fall into sleep. 

And don’t be discouraged if sometimes you’ll have dreams that you’ll wake and you’ll say, “Why was that in the product of such a good going to sleep?”  

But it may be a shedding process that you must go through.  So, some dreams are collections of hideous stuff.  Some of it is history that has been lodged in.  

Let it pass through.  Don’t spend much time working with the dreams which do not come to you, and you know it with your heart that that was a significant dream.  

And then sometimes your dreams will be luminous.  And sometimes your dreams will give you a very clear answer.   

Although it won’t be in the shape which you asked for it to be.  You know, it will not be, it will be beyond what you expected.  

And sometimes it will be simply a gentle, friendly reminder about a possible next step for you. 

Now is this some information for you?

—Yes.—

Alright, someone else?

—I’m curious as to the cosmic opinion of eating flesh, because I feel guilty.—

Well, we understand and appreciate this position.  And it is a valuable effort towards greater simplicity and consciousness.  The effort not to eat meat.

However for many of you, physiologically you need meat.  And the universe is not constructed to make you need meat.  And have it be a sin for you to have it.  

That wouldn’t be fair, would it?

And what you can still be conscious of is the appreciation of what you are given.  And if it’s a plant, it has given its life for your life also.  

And so, if you can appreciate the food as it comes to you before you eat it.  Then you give back unto the Spirit of that plant or that animal.  And so the circle is complete.

You see where the insensitivity lies is the taking without saying thank you.  Yes?

—Yes.—

  You see, your place in evolution, and your culture most specifically.  And I don’t mean just the United States.  

But the consciousness that is trying to dominate the world, feels it’s alright to take, and not to value.  To take, and not to be conscious about what one has taken.  

And this breaks a circle of consciousness and gratitude.

So, we would encourage the foods, the meats, which the animals were not tortured.  

And there’s a great deal written now by your culture about this issue.  Which animals were not tortured in their lifetime.  Because you eat that karma too. 

Does this sufficiently answer your question?  

—I guess so.—

What’s left unanswered?

—Economics don’t permit me to spend money that I need to spend on animals that are raised more humanely.—

Well then you must find a way to not be in a position where you say,  “I cannot have what I need.”  

And this is a spiritual and emotional question.  And it is one that will connect to abundance for you.

So, you must ask of your body what it needs.  And listen to the answer.  

And then obtain that piece of food.  And perhaps by obtaining that piece of food.  It will nourish you just specifically as your body needs it.   

And maybe other aspects of your diet will change so that you may have that piece of food.

But this will enable you to be making the choices.  And not to be in a state of need, nor a state of,  “I cannot have.”  

That state is very not for your growth process.

Does this answer more particularly? 

—Yes.—

Now can those who are feeling present bring in more energy to the group?  

And though we can all taste the greater energy, however consciously or unconsciously, that comes to sit in this circle.  

Each one of us must know that we must be the source of our own energy.  

And we can learn from others how to increase it.  We can receive healings to be more able to do it, more depth.  

This is something that each one of you must work on.  Simple is the case, everyone on the face of this Earth.  

There are some who carry so much energy that they, in their habit to work on it without even knowing it.  And you can image someone like the Dali Lama.  And have a sense of the potential. 

So, if you do not have the source of your own energy.  You will suck from others.  

And that will define your entire existence.  And this will be your most important chore. 

Now, we will close shortly, but I’m happy to take another question.  

And I think you all have contributed such good energy.  I thank you all for being here, and for your openness.  Is there another question for me?

—Mistress Peony—

Yes.

—When I walk lately, there’s been an energy building in my left hip.  I would ask for some information about it?—

You are daring to enter realms of uncertainty and vulnerability with yourself.  Which there are those who would like to take advantage of this.  

And your process is one of overall strengthening.  And so, on some level, your soul, your being, your Self is not afraid.  

Because you have taken on these energies, which you know all too well, in the past.  And now you feel strong enough to withstand them.  

So that you’re having a little unconsciousness about your own will to take these steps in strength.  

And so, there is a little attachment to you.  Perhaps a perceived opening to re-engage.  

And the strength of your core can repel this.  Their willingness to engage, you know, is always present.  Yes?

—Yes.—

So it is to do with your own commitment to your warrior-ship.  And it is your own commitment to yourself, and your joy.  So it is fully within your command.

And healers very frequently have the polarity active within them of connecting to very high spiritual realms.  And leaving aspects of themselves tucked away in the darkness.  

Because truly so much of them says, “Yes, I align myself with these Sacred beings.”  And some piece of them says, “Oh, but not me.”  

So as your healer-ship becomes stronger, so will your “not me” still try to find some place.

And this requires warrior-ship.  This requires a physical stance of ownership.  

And a truly allowing of this core power, which we spoke of earlier today, to be impenetrable.  To be brilliant.  To be strong.

To be strong enough to provide an absolute boundary to that which is not healing.  And no matter what the fate it causes of that other energy.  

Does this make sense?

—Yes.— 

Now, I wish to leave each of you a blessing.  And my blessing is here.  

And I call on all who have attended here who will come on your behalf.  

And as I said there’s a changing of the guard for some of you.

And I’ll remind you that you will thrive with a little help from your friends.  And you forget this in your friends on this level.  Human friends, and you also have the friendship of the Sacred however you call it to you.  

Be it through animal.  Be it through Spirit animal.  Be it through the clouds that pass over a dark sky.  Be it through Mother Earth.  Be it through your Spirit guides. 

You need never be alone.  And when you forget this we place before your path little jewels that will remind you in your darkness.  

May you recognize them.  May you choose to stop and pick them up.  

May you not be discouraged in your dark moments, because they will reveal to you some of your brightest ones. 

Surrender to the Sacred within you.  And you will change yourself.  And then you will change the world.  

Let your bodies, your aura, be saturated with our love.  

See how deeply you can receive it.  Into your skin..  Into your chakras.  Into your bones.  Into your cells.  

How will this transform you?  

You don’t know, and yet you invite the Sacred from without, the Sacred from within. 

Drink deeply.  

And may this follow you in the moments ahead.  The moments of your day.  And the moments that time has collapsed and there is no time.  Always there for you.  

May you learn to drink of it more and more deeply.  More and more sweetly.  

We leave you with our love.
