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, or 5 I am reminded again.

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 want to invite Sky and the universe which holds Mother Earth into this Sacred circle.  I invitee 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 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 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’s dreams.  Or in their waking moments.  Or in the days to follow until we see another change or remember.

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.  I’m Mistress Peony.  

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? 

Existence is full of polarity.  And when your life becomes quite intense with polarity, and joy and sorrow, you are at least alive.  And you are processing what is true.  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 emotions, 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 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.  

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. 

Your soul’s work involves the healing of yourself first.  And you cannot heal anyone else if this is not healed. 

 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 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 to 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, and I wish to shift the energy. 

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.  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 which are safe. 

Now, for some, you still work on aspects within yourself which are safe.  You work on energies which you are processing, which are from your past.  

And still find this core, and find a plane within it which is strong.  And develop a faith in this core, this plane, 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 ultimately very personal.  This is a space which only you can inhabit.  So, in this moment, try to sense this place.  This strength of core 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. 

So, does someone have a question for me? 

—Mistress Peony, I’ve started working with some of the symbology of ancient Egypt.  And I’m wondering if you could tell me, do you have a suggestion for me about how I might be able to best dream about these things?  And would you encourage this?— 

Well, first I would say that 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 for you then, forces 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 colors that appear.

And one of the things that you seek to do is to enter into the 3 dimensional, and this is correct.  And 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 can go in all. 

Play with images.  See images where the shapes are multi-dimensional.  Let your communication between the two halves of the brain equalize out.  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 lie down, see if you can shift your energy field.  So, you let go 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.  Even if this is 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 let yourself melt, and 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 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 is history that has been lodged in.  Let it pass through. 

Do not 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 be very clear. 

Although it won’t be in the shape which you asked for it to 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. 

Alright, we can all take the greater energy, however consciously or unconsciously, that comes.  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.  

This is something that each one on the face of this Earth must work on.  There are some who carry so much energy that it’s in their habit to work on it without even knowing it.  And you can imagine 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, I wish to leave each of you a blessing, and my blessing is here.  And I call on all who come on your behalf.  

And I’ll remind you that you will thrive with a little help from your friends.  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 it in.  Drink this, and may it follow you in the moments ahead, the moments of your day, the moments that time collapses 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.
