Chapter Thirteen: Update Received January 15, 2009

This was originally posted on the EDINA Google Group for Initiates only. I am posting it here so that everyone can read it.

Lately, I have been a little worried that nothing new was coming down the pike, and concerned as to whether I am where I am supposed to be, doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing. Each time I ask, I am told in effect to relax, everything is right on schedule.

And today I got new information from the Ankenash.

First, now that The Ankenash only show up to work on us when an Initiate says, "I now open the EDINA portal," it is okay to say the full name "Ankenash" any time we want to, even in casual
conversations! They have recalibrated their listening devices so they do not show up when we simply speak their names.

Next, the Ankenash are now asking that we begin to have meetings open to the public, like those done in Meet Up groups: http://www.meetup.com/ and discuss EDINA there, and do practice sessions on people who show up, or on each other. This is how friends and family and strangers who are guided to us will learn about EDINA. The morphogenic field is strong enough now that we do not have to protect EDINA so much, and people do not have to find out about EDINA just from being guided to the websites. (Remember, no one can open the EDINA portal until they have been initiated. The Ankenash will not hear them. This is a safety device put in place by The Ankenash, so people who do not know what they are doing cannot contact them.) If you want to teach, or if you just want people to practice upon so you can get feedback, people who are already interested in spirituality, this is how you will connect with new people, or include friends and family who are not initiated. Create a Meetup.com group, or similar group.

(We will also have meetings that are only for EDINA Initiates, and not open to the public. This is in line with the practices of shamen, nuns, priests, monks, etc. throughout the ages. Some meetings are of a more sacred nature, and some kind of committment needs to have been made to the spiritual essence of the meeting for anyone to be there. "Skeptics and eye-rollers" cast a pall on such meetings, and take away from the spiritual energies in the circle.)

I am to start a blog where I discuss EDINA. I will talk about EDINA and the public can also go here to learn more and then be directed to the EDINA Healing Temple website: www.edinahealingtemple.com Anyone who wants to do a similar blog and mention EDINA as well as anything else they feel guided to discuss, we will be cross-linking - if you wish. So we could have a network of blogs eventually.

NEW & FULL MOON MEDITATIONS

We are being asked to have New Moon and or Full Moon meditations. Start slowly, don't wear yourself out, you can do one every few months until the group gets into the swing of things. The meeting can begin with a ceremony or meditation that includes non-initiates so that they can meditate with us. (We are honoring the cycles of the earth.) Then later, The Ankenash are requesting we have a meditation that is solely for EDINA Initiates, the others can retire elsewhere (at a respectful distance) and quietly chat, or have their own fire to sit around, or go home, or quitely do whatever they wish.

Then just the EDINA Initiates would come together and each connect to the EDINA portal, then tone together for a few minutes (group toning of vowel sounds), as this is quite healing. Then a group meditation in which the Violet flame is invoked comes next. With an altar made of natural materials, usually a big rock, in the center of the circle, place a fire pit or a candle, some kind of burning flame, in the middle. Under the fire container, place the names of anyone at all who needs healing, be it spiritual, emotional or physical. Include their name, age, and current location. Then do the meditation. At the end of the meditation, the group's prior designated person sounds a little bell gently, and the group begins to come out of the meditation. At this same time, that designated person will take the names that have been written down and burn them in the fire, signifying the release of healing outcomes to the Creator Source, saying aloud "Thy will be done." The most beneficial outcomes occur when we release the outcome to the Source. Lastly, the group expresses gratitude to the elementals who keep life on planet Earth going: The Sylphs of Air, The Undines of Water, the Gnomes of Earth and the Salamanders of Fire. Then everyone disconnects from the EDINA portal.

Ideally the New and Full Moon meditations are done outside, in nature.

EDINA is shamanism for the twenty-first century. That will become more clear as time goes on.

Luminous Blessings to each of you!
