January, 2012 Can you believe that we are now in 2012?! Seems to me that last year just flew by! Time is not what it used to be. I send you my heartfelt blessings and good wishes as we all embark upon this time of radical change and divine manifestation upon our beloved earth. Here is a special video for you, well worth watching.. Peace and love to all! Martha Cassandra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJJ_AM5C4ns
Global Transformation- Life on Earth Now August 26, 2011 As I write this to you, I am watching CNN with constant updates regarding Hurricane Irene. Last week, rare earthquakes affected a large part of the eastern USA, centered in Virginia, and also in Colorado, USA. After I had my last near-death experience in 1974, I was shown that the earth would go through radical transformation from 1994-2012 and even until 2025. I have discussed these things in many venues, including in a previous special program for NBC, called Ancient Prophecies III. (See media on my menu). I am only one of many throughout history to receive such information regarding earth changes, quakes, weather, etc. and more. Expect the best, prepare for the worst, and enjoy your life every day! Please stay close to your inner voice and surround yourself with angels. Know that your soul chose to come to earth during these radically changing times and that you have a purpose and soul intention for being here now. There IS light at the end of the tunnel and days of great light are forthcoming...... Hang on and know that you are never alone.... You are more loved than you will ever fully know. Open your heart to receive the great healing light headed your way now and forever more. Your loved ones are not alone either, be it in heaven, or on earth. I am here to assist on your path if you feel so led! Love and light, Martha Cassandra
Blessings for You Summer, 2011
Greetings, blessings, and best wishes to you this summer! I hold each one in prayer for your life unfolding in the best way possible! I am available for phone appointments to assist in powerful, timely, wonderful transformation and healing. Please see my services and testimonial pages for more information. Love and light, Martha Cassandra
April, 2011 Martha Cassandra St. Claire Appears in Afterlife- What Happens When We Die
Paul Perry, the talented NY Times best-selling author and film maker, created this new documentary. I am in it, along with some fascinating and well known names in the near-death experience field, etc. You can purchase it through http://www.paulperryproductions.com or order it through Netflix, http://www.netflix.com "The documentary begins with Perry interviewing people on the streets of Portland, Santa Monica, and New Orleans. From there he has in-depth interviews with leading authorities, Dr. Raymond Moody and Dr. Jeffrey Long. Finally, the film finishes with exceptional recounts by individuals who have had vivid Near Death Experiences. This is truly a remarkable work that provides the viewer with some different perspectives. The film may be the most important work on the subject produced to date. It must be seen." March, 2011 Japan Earthquake & My Near-Death Experience The Time is NOW It is no accident that our souls are on earth NOW. Can you feel things accelerating? Something BIG- HUGE is happening. The energies are very intense and moving along at warp speed. Staying anchored, trusting, full of light and prayers and expecting the best while preparing for the worst is the name of the game.. We are all in this together and there is no turning back. No kidding. Here we go. The earth is transforming into a higher consciousness.. This is the time that many of us were born for and have been preparing for from deep within our souls.....
The above words come from my inner most being as I have viewed the devastation in Japan. It's totally surreal for me to have seen water rising over Japan in my 1974, NDE and now it's actually happened. I spoke about this on the NBC special, Ancient Prophecies III, hosted by David Mc Callum in 1994. While we pray for humanity and those suffering, let us keep in mind the bigger picture. There is more to come and yet there is great light. WE ARE ONE and were born for these times. May we pray for Japan... Yes, years ago I saw a future Japan going under water, as well as other earth changes (click on Cassandra above the link and see red print). http://www.near-death.com/forum/nde/000/77.html Such changes bring massive waves of divine love to our planet for all and yet great suffering also. Only God knows the whole story. We are co-creating heaven on earth. Let's stay strong, sending love and prayers. We are in the times that so many have predicted. There is light at the end of the tunnel. You are very loved, Martha Cassandra (St. Claire, formerly Musgrave) January, 2011 Welcome to a New Year!
May this new year be truly a blessing for you and yours. May burdens be lifted from your heart and mind. May abundance flow into your life in all ways. Dream big! Plan big! Trust more than ever before! Life can change on a dime as the saying goes... and for the best!
May you know the blessings of THE HOLY ONE within and come ever closer to the joy of fulfilling your life path and soul's true destiny. Time waits for no one and the time is now, for us all; for each one to move ahead, leaving behind that which must be put aside, embarking upon that which is truly important, attending to what tasks are at hand internally and externally. GO FOR IT! You are held in the arms of the divine always! With love, Martha
December 31, 2010 Happy New Year! As the year comes to a close, my heart is full from having been in contact, through my work, with so many interesting people, indeed beautiful souls, and from the joy of having new friends in my home neighborhood, as well. What a year it's been and to some of it, we gladly bid adeu!
May the light of the sacred one who loves you so very much bring you out of your pain, into the land of promise and eternal freedom. You are very, very loved. There is always hope, always a chance to begin again and here we go....
With love and blessings from my heart to yours, Martha
End of Year Wishes, 2010-
As we approach Thanksgiving, I am truly grateful for those who have touched my life, even if we have never met in person. I have so appreciated your kind words of gratitude and encouragement and for placing your faith in me as we have worked together or simply corresponded. You have touched me in ways that remain with me deep within. I continue to be humbled and amazed by the love and glory of God demonstrated in my work, for the benefit of others. May you and your loved ones be richly blessed this holiday season and in the new year, as we approach 2011. (Can you believe it!). I look forward to a new and better designed blog in the future.
With love and gratitude, Martha
October, 2010- Autumn Blessings to You
My Muggsy kitty is snoozing contendedly on the guest bed in my office, in his favorite sun spot and all is well in his world. Outside on my front patio, the flowers continue to show their glorious summer colors, as if our cool fall nights had not even happened, nor the gray skies and typical northwest drizzily skies of late.
I am thinking of you all and wishing for you a wonderful fall season during this magical and most intense time as we each invisibly ascend into higher realms and continue to inhabit a physical body, AND to be on mother earth while she indeed ascends, also! That is the short version. My, oh my!
I hold each one in prayer and know that for myself, prayer is the light and connection that sustains us. Prayer need not happen in a set way. It is the song in your heart and your innermost thoughts and feelings in union with the divine. You are never alone.....
I am not sure when we will meet again in my blog space, since other things are calling to me and yet, know that you are never far from my heart and thoughts. I've enjoyed blogging and we can look forward to a freshly installed blog format in 2011. With love, Martha
August, 2010- Honoring Precious Bubba and Your Pets, Too..
On April 28, 2010, I had my precious Bubba put to sleep in my arms at home, after an intimate ceremony with my other cat, Muggsy, the vet Amile, her assistant Jen, and various angels...
Bubba was 16 years old and lived a happy, long life. I adopted him from the Portland, Oregon, Humane Society when he was about three years old and it was so meant to be. We were kindred spirits immediately. Later, when I brought Muggsy home as a kitten, Bubba was very kind to him and they became instant life-long buddies, in spite of Muggsy's crabby ways.
We all adjusted to life in Lake Oswego, Oregon, Santa Rosa, California, and Eugene, Oregon, not to mention the sometimes frequent car rides for vet visits and/or relocation and the noisy, chaotic love of grandchildren that left Muggsy hiding in panic and Bubba being lovingly, but not often skillfully, dragged around the house by eager children.
Bubba was a wise old soul and we communicated often and still do, literally, about Muggsy and other things. Sometimes I feel his love around my shoulders and heart especially and I can hear his calm, wise counsel for me, if I but let go and listen. I have always found it easier to tune into pets that are not my own and yet, in our later days, I was able to do so and for that I am most grateful.
In his last days, he reminded me to keep my heart open to future love and to not shut down due to my intense grieving. Only pet lovers can know what such loss is like, for they give us pure unconditional love and bond with us in a way that defies description. I have had cats all of my life who have slept on my bed, at times disturbed my sleep, and yet brought great love and fun into my life. Some connections are especially strong; my grief over Bubba was huge and it's taken months for me to be able to write about this. Yet, time really does heal and now I share Bubba's energy with you. Bubba wants you to know that your beloved pets in heaven are alright, are filled with light, and want you to be happy.
You are not alone if you have lost a beloved pet. Their love endures forever and is eternal. Pets are remarkable beings and some are truly ancient, masterful beings and special souls who come to look after us and teach us so much. Such was Bubba.
Know that our pets, truely family members, are in heaven now
Because they are on the "other side", does not mean they do not need our love and prayers, yet, that is without obligation or heartache. It's just a happy wish on their parts.
In my counseling sessions, I often tune into pets here and in heaven. I'd be happy to tap into the great love your pets have for you and to connect with them as well.
Muggsy is healing, too. We all do, with the grace and blessings of time.
Perhaps it's time for you to welcome a new pet into your life? Did you know that petting an animal lowers one's blood pressure? My M.A. in Gerontology thesis, was entitled, "The Healing Effects of Pet Therapy for the Elderly." This work was truely a labor of love.
Thinking of you, Martha, Bubba, and Muggsy
_______________________________ July 31st, 2010 Summer Prayers for You Dear Ones, You may have noticed that I have not been blogging as much... I have been most fortunate to be enjoying time this summer with my grandchildren, when I am not working. They grow so fast!
Astrologers and mystics alike, point to a very intense summer which we are in the midst of now. Best to be gentle with yourselves, stick to a routine, turn the other cheek, pray, get lots of sleep, drink lots of water, exercise, and have some fun along the way. In no way, are things "business as usual", yet if you can find peace and joy in the ordinary, go for it. Remember that most of us are fighting some type of battle and that at any moment, we can put it all aside, breathe, surrender, and love ourselves and others in spite of perhaps evidence to the contrary.
The great and mighty power of the divine within you adores you and knows of your every whim, desire, pain, regret, hope, and dream.....
I find that this ancient Huna prayer brings comfort to myself and others. Try saying it inwardly anytime for added relief, no matter what the circumstance... I AM SORRY PLEASE FORGIVE ME I LOVE YOU _________________ I send you my deepest love and blessings during this acclerated time. The best really is yet to come! With love, Martha
May, 2010 Catching Up... Earth's Changing Axis Greetings, It's been months since my last blog. Why? Oh, as the saying goes, that's water under the bridge. Speaking of water, according to certain sources, Oregon has had the rainiest, coolest May, EVER. Enough already! I believe that the ever increasing harsh weather, erractic weather patterns, and increasing earthquakes, etc., are a sign of things to come as we approach 2012 and beyond. The earth is in a stage of deep cleansing on many levels. Many have addressed this issue with far more detail and depth than I will do here, but business is definitely not "business as usual" in any way, shape, or form- not for our mother earth, not for anyone or anything, contrary to certain appearances that seem usual. We are being shaken to the cores of our souls to transform into the full essence of who we really are, like never ever before.
Years ago, after I had my last NDE, I found myself in the days that followed receiving divine messsages. One message I received spoke of the earth actually shifting her axis which indeed sounded quite like a radical idea in 1974. (This will be published in my book later on).
"NEW YORK — Earth's days may have gotten a little bit shorter since the massive earthquake in Chile, but don't feel bad if you haven't noticed. The difference would be only about one-millionth of a second. __________________ Okay, so it may sound tiny in the big scheme of things, but is it a sign of bigger things to come with greater impact? I think so.. We all need to pray for one another and for our planet. I feel led to share the following excellent article, which is long, but worth reading. You may want to copy and paste this for later reading or save the link at the end of the article also. Spiritual Healing for Disasters by Joel Bruce Wallach
From January 15, 2010
SENDING LOVE YOUR WAY, Martha Cassandra ________________________________________________ February, 2010 IANDS (International Association for Near-Death Studies) is an organization that has been near and dear to my heart, since I learned of its existence in approximately, 1994. http://www.iands.org I felt like I had found my true spiritual family when I discovered that there was actually an organization which was not only devoted to the study of near-death experiences, but also offered support and education in this vital arena.
It has been especially exciting for those of us who have been involved with IANDS as board members to welcome an exceptional and timely book, published in 2009, that was written by "our own." MY NDE RESEARCH IS DISCUSSED UNDER MY FORMER NAME OF CASSANDRA MUSGRAVE. (See inside book/index on Amazon). http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_16?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=handbook+of+near-death+experiences+thirty+years+of+investigation&sprefix=handbook+of+near
"Just Published--IANDS's Own! The Handbook of Near-Death Experiences: Thirty Years of Investigation, a careful overview of published studies about NDEs, is now available from your favorite book distributor.
UNTIL NEXT TIME, Martha ___________________________________ January, 2010 Happy New Year! May your inner compass and that true voice within lead you to the life of your dreams!
What new direction and fulfillment awaits you in 2010? It is never too late to begin again. What, where, whom, calls to you now? If money or time or whatever, was not an issue, what would you love to be, do, have, create, share? There is no time like the present. Think BIG, dream BIG. And why not? You are so divinely loved and angels await your beckon call.. In the midst of your daily responsiblities, remember to cherish and nurture your most sacred inner dreams, your dreams of tomorrow, now. Great opportunity is at hand and your destiny awaits you, no matter what is on the outer, no matter what the outer world portrays. Let us go where angels tread, seeking our bountiful supply, overflowing with the essence of the most beloved within, to share with one and all. With best wishes for a wonderful new year! Martha
December 12, 2009 Holiday Greetings!
May the true spirit of this holy season bless you from deep within. As we approach the shortest day of the year and winter equinox, may the scared light of the divine burn ever brightly within your soul, bringing you peace and hope, no matter what your faith may be. Great light comes now, comes now for us all.
While I love this sacred season, a crisp fire, and an occassional beautiful snow fall, I often find winter most challenging with it's shorter, darker days, and cold temperatures. It's been unusually cold these last few weeks in much of the USA and in the Pacific Northwest and my body says, enough already, as I dream of some tropical place! How about you? May we keep the inner sacred home fire burning and share it, too. The world needs, more than ever, our LIGHT!
I recently went to hear author Mike Dooley speak at the historic Bagdad Theater in Portland. Some of you may know of Mike through his current bestseller, Infinite Possiblities or from his free emails called "Notes from the Universe ", which always seem to be speaking just to me! (Amazingly, many say the same thing).
May you find joy in the simple things this season and make time for them- a good book by a cozy fire, time spent with a special loved one, looking into the eyes of a beloved pet.. Perhaps giving yourself the gift of a long-overdue, soothing massage or energetic healing may be most timely. Speaking of healing, I have received, via the phone, the most divinely inspired and magnificient energetic healings from Christina McEntire,
Know that the angels love you and are with you right now and that no matter what you may be experiencing, you are more loved and cared for than you likely know. We are never alone. You are so very, very loved and adored! Take heart, dear one, take heart.. With eternal love, Martha
October 15th-17th, 2009 IANDS Conference- San Diego, CA
Here I am (right side) with the dedicated Diane Corcoran, current IANDS president.
Here is my dear friend, Yolaine Stout, who worked for months to make it a great conference! You go girl!
Eric, Linda, and Stephen enjoy dinner together. Thank you for your great contributions in San Diego! Thanks Linda, for your awesome leadership!
Sharon Lund and Beverly Brodsky smile at the huge success of the conference... They worked night and day to make it so! Whew, I guess these angels needed little sleep! See you all at the next conference! www.iands.org
September 22nd, 2009 Autumn Equinox- A Message from Archangel Michael
Greetings upon this sacred day. I walk with thee...You are so loved, so very, very loved.
September 7th, 2009 Visiting Sacred Puget Sound Hello Friends,
Recently I traveled north for a special family event, spending time in Seattle, a place I've always enjoyed. There is something about the waters of Puget Sound With great love, Martha
August 7th, 2009
Is the summer flying by, or is it just my perception? I've been in the midst of life's up's (seeing family, traveling, loving visits from grandchildren, and enjoying working with client friends), and down's- (surgery that is over and behind me now). I have let my busy schedule keep me from more detailed blogging, however I wanted to take the time to send you this lovely image of Archangel Michael, who provides us all with great, loving protection. Just call upon him and he'll be there! Sounds like a love song, yes? This incredible work of art was created by an amazing soul and sacred artist, Nanette Crist. View her truly divine, light-filled art and website at: http://www.cristfoundation.org
This has been an intense summer with one solar eclipse and two lunar eclipses. Life can move at warp speed. You are deeply loved by Spirit. Ask for help, drink of the divine healing waters... We need not "do" this earthly time alone. I send great love and light to you. Until next time, Martha Anne
June 21st, 2009
Summer Solstice Dearest Ones, May the sun shine in your life and may the light of the divine shine ever strongly within you... In the midst of these extremely challenging times, indeed historic times upon our planet, hold fast to your faith, inner strength, and innate wisdom. For thou art never alone. In these "end times" we are actually ascending our spiritual bodies into higher dimensions on earth. We are dying to the old and yet, we no longer have to die and pass to heavenly realms, to do so. We are consciously (and for some, unconsciously), co-creating heaven on earth and what a wild ride it is, seemingly unknown to much of the world. However, the world certainly knows that something is UP! The ascension process affects us hugely on every level, mind, body, and spirit. Channels Solara and Karen Bishop, in my opinion, have an accurate "take" on the pulse of the world. I honor these gifted and dedicated women, by sharing their nuturing and wise work with you, through their website links: http://www.nvisible.com , http://www.emergingearthangels.com May your summer be filled with all that makes your spirit sing! With love, Martha Anne
June 15th, 2009 Women on Sacred Ground- In the Williamette National Forest
I am still glowing from attending Eugene's Center for Spiritual Living's annual women's retreat, recently, at St. Benedict's Lodge, As summer approaches, it's a great time to go within. Better yet, go within, outside. Surely there is a special place calling your name!
June 12th, 2009
Come On! Summer-time! Greetings, Here I sit in my home office, in the lovely, lush, northwest thinking, "Enough already! Where IS the sunshine?
Where is summer?!" Perhaps I need to do a sun-dance, calling to the
powers that be! I tend to be solar-charged and thrive on some good
ol' rays! Another option is always to enhance our inner light... Never
mind that summer has not officially arrived as yet!
Speaking of light, look at this amazing photo, below! It was taken at a brook by the very beautiful Mc Kenzie River, near Eugene, Oregon. The area was dark, in the shade, with no sun rays shining through. The shafts of light look a bit like waterfalls, yet such was not the case. Photos taken before and after, of the same location, show nothing unusual; only this photo has the magic! What do you think? May the best of summer shine within you, Martha Anne
April 9th, 2009 Blessed Springtime... Hello Friends, I can't believe it's been three months since I last wrote. Life seems to be quite the intense journey lately, including for yours truly. Moving to the Northwest in the midst of winter was radical indeed. With every ray of sunshine and each blossom that I see, I rejoice and give thanks. It is evident, to me, through friends, family, and clients alike, that we are collectively taking a wild ride, as we approach 2012. It's as if we've climbed aboard a speeding train of universal transformation, like none other EVER! Recently, someone emailed me this most lovely photo, evidently shown in Parade Magazine, of a prairie dog in the sunlight, being still, as if in prayer...
The following article, with photo, is taken from http://laurenbdavis.blogspot.com
FRIDAY, MARCH 20th, 2009
Just before Thanksgiving last year, NPR interviewed Terry Tempest Williams, author of Finding Beauty in a Broken World. In part of the interview, Ms. Williams talked about prairie dogs. She said: Indeed! In peace and stillness, may we find our sacred center and each other, ONE being that we are..
Much love, Martha Anne
January 2nd, 2009 Blessed, Happy New Year! Hello Everyone,
Like so many, I have been in great transformation. I recently moved my residence from California to Oregon, returning to the land of my birth, yet again. My movers came the day before a big snow storm. Truly, I was graced with divine timing, in that it all came together perfectly. I am enjoying my lovely view of a big pond and its wildlife, while I am still getting settled. We enter a new year, with the promise of enchanting, wonderful things.
I send you loving wishes for a surprisingly exceptional & fulfilling time. I say, ignore the media's doom & gloom chatter, as much as possible! We can't afford the luxury of nagative thoughts (thoughts become THINGS). No matter what has happened, healing and joy can transcend. It's time for so much to open for one and all. Our lives can change for the better, in seconds! In the midst of winter, may your hearts fly freely on the wings of eagles and angels. May limitation be behind you! Create a new story, one that is more in alignment with the real you. Vow to find resources that serve to heal and enhance your soul in a real and tangible way. I find this quote most timely..
WE ARE THE ONES "You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour. Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour. There are things to be considered: Where are you living? What are you doing? What are your relationships? Are you in right relation? Where is your water? Know your garden. It is time to speak your Truth. Create your community. Be good to each other. Do not look outside yourself for the leader. This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and they will suffer greatly. Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water. See who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally. Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves! Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones we've been waiting for. " - The Elders Oraibi, of the Arizona Hopi Nation
May your soul fly free, from any apparent restraints in everyday life. The best is yet to come, NOW! You choose.
With great love and endless light! Martha Anne
November 16th, 2008 Autumn Update, Beloved Barack Obama, and More.. Greetings! My life is busy-busy, as you can well imagine, since I am in the midst of an out-of-state move. I send you each warm regards and best wishes, as we approach the ending fall season in America. It is a time to count our blessings and to seek to bring intentional healing for ourselves and others, in whatever ways we can. Thoughts, actions, intentions, and prayers make a difference! What are you thinking, doing, and intending these days? The USA has experienced something profound, with the election of Barack Obama and his heart-felt desire to unify ALL people. Mr. Obama and his family are beings of great light and sacred intention, destined to serve at this time in our nation's history.
Even if Senator Obama was not your first choice for our next president, we need to pray for the newly evolving leadership in America (and abroad), and that we, as a nation, can be fully healed on every level as we move into intense, life-altering, unprecedented years of radical, global transformation. Let us SEE, FEEL, and INTEND harmony for ALL, in every way, creating infinite blessings world-wide. We are ONE. The time is vastly overdue for peace and sacred unification, personally and globally. The times not only ARE a changin', as we said in the 60's, they suddenly HAVE changed! Yet, we have a long way to go! Don't be fooled by first impressions, yet hold the vision of TOTAL healing in your heart and mind's sacred eye. What are your deepest dreams? I hold those visions for you, no matter what hardships may be temporarily transpiring in your life. While things are surely not "business as usual", the sky is still the limit! What may be breaking your heart today, could actually set you free tomorrow. Stay in touch with your soul and know that a thousand candles of love burn from invisible realms for YOU. We are never, ever alone. Seek and ye shall find. If you are too weary to seek, surrender, surrender, surrender. Your inner voice, be it loud or barely a whisper, is now being heard. Know and trust- and trust, yet again. With love and light, Martha
October 7th, 2008 The Beautiful Chesapeake Bay..
Imagine being able to walk only a few feet out your door and find yourself on the peaceful shore of the lovely Chesapeake Bay, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Edgar Cayce has been called the “sleeping prophet,” the "father of holistic medicine," and the most documented psychic of the 20th century. Be sure to check out this popular and thriving Virginia Beach Friends of IANDS chapter, as well as A.R.E., if you visit Virginia Beach. The "vibes" at A.R.E. are amazing, the day spa is out of this world (or so I am told!), and the library is legendary. Plus, there is a great book store & gift shop and a lovely top floor meditation hall with gorgeous stained glass, not to mention the water view. Ahhhh. The combo of relishing in fascinating near-death experience exchange, via warm kinship, and the offerings of A.R.E., can't be beat for those who find such activities right up their mystical alley! Happy travels, for mind, body, and spirit! Until next time... Martha
September 28th, 2008 Fasten Your Seatbelts..
Hello, friends. I just returned from two weeks in beautiful Oregon, my birth place, in the pacific northwest. Along the way,
I experienced one of the most sacred mountains in the world, beloved
Mt. Shasta, in northern California. May you enjoy her majestic presence here... Can words possibly address the nature of life in the world these days? We are in the midst of mighty global transformation and it is no more evident than in the USA, in the nitty gritty economic and political scene. To some, this is not a surprise, long predicted by many "authorities" in the mainstream, as well as in more metaphysical circles for eons of time. I could lighten the mood and call it "Cosmic PMS." This is a huge topic to address in the confines of my blog and busy schedule, but I can't help but say, I fully know and believe that a higher power is in charge.
If you are going through an intense time, be sure to get enough rest, eat right, take time to be quiet and still, and to be in nature, if possible. Don't allow yourself to be saturated by negative people or by the extreme gloominess flying from the media, aimed directly at you, in your cozy kitchen, sacred space, I-Pod, or car! Don't believe everything you hear or read. Don't lose hope, your faith, the power of your inner guidance, your common sense, or shut down to the great love always available for you. Guarding against others' emotional outpouring is wise, indeed. That headache or heartache you feel, may not be your own! See the light through the clouds of illusion. I align with you for personal and planetary freedom. May your souls be richly blessed in all ways. It is never too late to be who you truly are, more beautiful and special than you can possibly fully imagine. We are not our egos, our pain, or the roles we take on. We are a unique, special spark of the almighty divine presence, passionate, creative, and meant to live life fully, in freedom and joy. Your expanded consciousness fills you with love and eternal knowing, now. Keep on keeping on... August 17th, 2008 Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life, Big Sur & More.. Greetings! Thank you for your email. It's been fun to connect. Oh, how the summer has flown by, it seems! Things I intended to share, are nearly out of date now. Life is busy for most, including for me. I am in the midst of planning a move and I have enjoyed cleaning out big time. Clear your clutter, move your stuff, change your life! Does your environment reflect the you that you are becoming? Things hold stuck energy. Let go and create anew, allowing more abundance on every level to flow in. Perhaps it's time for you to shift in a massive way. I can promise that cleaning out the old will facilitate that! Hanging on to old furnishings or stuff out of fearful thinking regarding money (how can I afford to replace that?) or an over-attachment to the past, can truly keep one IN the past. If you don't love it, get rid of it! If it's from a former life (in this life), consider making room for your future expanded self and life and say adios to whatever! In July, I attended a wonderful wedding, visiting California's lovely Monterey peninsula and majestic, famed Big Sur, that had previously been engulfed by fire. The area is on the mend and the community, so happy to be healing and in the flow again, warmly greeted all with open arms.
A sweet deer, now safe from flames in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park.
The Big Sur Garden Gallery entrance, with the Blessed Virgin Mary, displayed lovingly inside. Tourists and locals alike, once again enjoy great local art and look forward to completely fresh air and blue skies.
Lastly, the recent lunar eclipse was a magical event and the autumn equinox promises more major transformation. Just for fun, I have added my astrological birth chart here, for those actually interested. (Just ignore my age). See my resources page for a list of excellent astrologers. This chart was done by Earthwalk Astrology. (Please SCROLL way DOWN for previous blogs. Temporary glitch in spacing). Bye for now and best wishes! M.

Welcoming Summer
We are surely living in intense times. The recent full moon, Summer Solstice, and certain astrological aspects have been over-the-top magical and transforming, and yet, in my opinion, not easy. We are certainly living in the midst of greatly accelerated "earth changes" as evidenced all over the planet. Here in California, we are having many wildfires, while the Midwest is having too much water and flooding. Needless to say, prayers are in order. May grace, mercy, and healing prevail. Dear ones, ground yourselves the best that you can, take time to fill yourselves with light and to tap into the Divine Love and Sacred Presence that is always present. Ask for help, and keep on, keeping on with courage and hope. Filling your light bodies with more light will help enormously, and indeed there are times when we have no emotional choice, but to surrender on our knees, literally or inwardly. Surrender is a great idea, anyway. Make the most of the windows of opportunity that come and know that you make a difference, even if it doesn't look or feel like it at times. We are living in an almost lyrical time in our dimension when things can manifest very quickly, from our thoughts and intentions, and from overall mass consciousness. Prayer and inner-attunement seems essential, even if it's done while brushing your teeth, ready to run out the door for more life in the fast lane. I have found that toning can be very useful to uplift one's vibration and clear the mental and emotional body, while refreshing the spirit. Just open your mouth and go for it, perhaps in the car when alone! At first, if you have never done this before, it may sound goofy to you, but it can be oh, so powerful and is one of the quickest ways that I know of to shift your energy fast and to feel more empowered, grounded, and available to receive the love and light that so wants to expand within you and for you, on your daily journey. You might just be surprised and delighted with what you find yourself uttering from your own precious voice and throat chakra. Each soul has its own unique "soul song" and "soul voice" and getting in touch with one's own true voice can be extremely healing and of great comfort. Don't be surprised if you hear different sounds at different times. This summer, indeed, is most transformative and fast moving on so many levels. The veils between dimensions are ever so thin, creating extreme sensitivity within some of us. While often causing discomfort, this also can have wonderful impact on our lives, since great portals or gateways from "heavenly" higher realms have opened in almost unlimited fashion, as sacred ascension within us and in our planet, transcends previously held tight boundaries in the physical. The universe is shouting at us, get on board, you can do it, whatever it is! It's time to leave the old you and your past behind! Adios old self! Adios former life! I leave you now, sending prayers and sacred healing intentions for each one, for everyone in this great historic time on Mother Earth...
May 31, 2008 Bringing Back the Light
Sometimes I am at a loss for words to adequately describe the amazing personal and group transformation that often happens when souls such as ourselves come together to share, to open our hearts to Spirit, and to quite intentionally love one another and our Earth family, through sharing, ritual, prayer, and fun! The healing energy and divine love and power that was felt, as we held hands, drummed, and more, was amazing. It was as if the LIGHT that we all had experienced on the "other side" had been reactivated in the room and through each one present. We came away feel totally "recalibrated." ...Very, very "shifted" indeed, and more ready than ever, to give the best of ourselves to our personal and global paths.
In daily life, there is so much love to be shared, given, and received. Yet, it is so easy to have that reality become over-shadowed by the demands of our everyday lives, the intensity of the times in which we live, and the enhanced negativity put forth by the media. Reach out. Give even a little, gain a lot. We never know when our simplest words or actions might very well bring blessings and healing to another, in ways perhaps unknown to us. There are a lot of wonderful people living on our planet who want to help others through tough times. We are not alone. Seek and ye shall receive! Your Higher Sacred Self knows just what to do and how to help you in any time of need. Be still, become open, and listen. It will be alright, no matter what you are facing. Time heals and we are all deeply, deeply loved by the holy creator that hath made us! Perhaps we will see you at the next retreat! With love and light, Martha Anne
March 27, 2008 In spite of media woes about the state of the economy, we live in a prosperous universe. I had a fun reminder of this recently at the neighborhood car wash. The place I frequent offers free car washes, inside and out, when purchasing an oil change and maintenance check. However, there is more to the story.. The other morning, while driving around doing errands, I gave thanks for the beautiful day, for the good coming my way, and for blessings upon all. Noting that an oil change was due, I pulled into the oil and lube lane and was delighted to see that there was no wait. I asked for a rain check regarding the car wash, knowing that I had thirty days to use it, since I did not really need one now. Next, I went inside to pay and thanks to their smart marketing, I began browsing in the cute gift shop, while waiting for my car to be finished. While inside, one of the employees ran up to me, asking if I wanted fragrance in my car. I reminded him that I had taken a rain check for the car wash. So, he raced outside to see if he could stop my car going through. He came back and said, “I’m sorry, it’s too late. Your car has already been vacuumed and is being washed right now.” Translated: "You are being given a gift right now, the gift is in process, and it cannot be stopped!” My first reaction was that things were not going as planned; my car having been washed recently, did not need this, and I would have to wait longer, in the midst of my busy day. Boy, did I have the wrong spin on that, when I next realized, “Wait a minute. I am not only getting a free car wash today, I am also still entitled to another free car wash in the weeks ahead.” Evidently, I was too busy to see the gift in the situation. I had not expected it, but my car was headed toward its destined good, with a little unexpected prosperity headed my way. (Car wash prices here, start at $18.99, and I was going to receive my “freebees” twice). Smiling at the attendants, as I happily put cash in the tip box, I climbed into my shiny clean car, and drove off having received my greater good, my unexpected gift, with all resistance gone. Not to mention, that perhaps my warm smile and tip brightened their day, too. The point of my story is not about the car wash prices, but this: In the midst of our daily lives, there are all kinds of ways that prosperity flows to us, if we can but open our minds and hearts, and see it. Your blessings may come in the form of money, in the form of something free, or in kind words, deeds, or gestures from another; the list is infinite!
With so much buzz out there about the “hard times” we are facing and for some of us, the apparent economic reality with which we are dealing, on a daily basis, it’s important, more than ever, to increase our faith, our expectations, and our dreams of a happy and prosperous life. Thoughts become things! Some find it fun and uplifting to keep a daily gratitude and blessing journal of sweet things that have happened each day. If we but open our eyes, the list is there! What about the waitress who quite intentionally did not charge you for dessert? What about the baby in the stroller who gave you an extra big smile? What about the gentleman at the grocery store who suggested that you go ahead of him? Love is in the air and magic is afoot! Prosperity flows and is flowing to you now. Dear hearts, it’s coming your way, no matter what your situation! Things can turn for the better on a dime! I know this from personal experience. True prosperity is about so much more than money. I was happy to have an unexpectedly cleaner car, but my real joy came from the feeling of being immersed in life’s underlying flow of good, that I attracted and experienced, even if I was oblivious for a time. I’d love to hear news of your abundant blessings! Perhaps I will start a web page devoted totally to the abundant flow of good that comes our way! What do you say? Martha

Spring Equinox All kidding aside, this week is an especially holy one with the sacred energies of Palm Sunday, St. Patrick's Day, Purim, Spring Equinox, the full moon, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. (Did I leave anything out?). The changing of the seasons and these special holidays are a powerful time to release the old and create anew. What needs releasing in your inner and outer life? What dreams are you wanting to manifest? Are you perhaps needing some new found hope, faith, and encouragement? Know that you are not alone. As you dream today, dream BIG. In the midst of these challenging times, great light and tools of profound healing and manifestation are available for you. Listen to the whispers. Heed the still small voice within. You are deeply loved and all is possible! Your heartfelt longings, prayers, hopes, and dreams, blend with the voices of millions of your brothers and sisters, in intended transformation and co-creation. Today, I welcome the Sacred Spirit of the Divine into my life, in a more conscious and expanded way. How about you? What old energies and situations will you gladly usher out the door? What renewed and fresh dreams and realities will you welcome into your heart, soul, and life in the coming months? What do you wish for your loved ones and our planetary home? There is no time like the moment! The time of fulfilling your soul's purpose and lending enriching support to others, is NOW. Enjoy the path. Onward and upward!

Greetings! What a busy time its been for me. I have recently moved to a more rural area in Oregon and I am up and running with the rest of my life.
Many throughout history have had premonitions or a sense of prophecy about the coming earth changes and huge planetary shift that is clearly happening now.
I can't help but reflect upon the many blessings that I have received through this website and my work.
Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Blessed Holidays, and Happy New
Year! Know that you are very, very loved and are never truly alone.
A brief "Indian Summer" has temporarily returned to this ol' neck of the woods, making me such a happy camper, even if I am indoors.
and are but a prayer or thought away. They really do hear us, look after us, and adore us still. They are comforted by our prayers and positive thoughts of them and want us to move on with love in our hearts, while staying connected to the great love shared.
I was reminded of this when I read the following article on the Huffington Post regarding the 8.8 Chili quake in Februrary of this year:
The following info is from: 
It was a pleasure to meet Mike as he signed books and also to hear him lecture; he's wise, warm, and infinitely witty....
a lovely and extremely gifted soul. We have been working together for many months and her amazing work has made a significant difference in my health and well-being on many levels. Her truly precious angelic gifts await you now! 
What a wonderful time we all had gathering together to see old friends and meet new ones, in balmy, beautiful San Diego. As usual, great speakers, great topics, and deep connections made for a wonderful conference, not to mention the really good food! Not all who attend these conferences have had near-death experiences, in fact many have not. Yet, we are bound by our curiosity and/or love for the subject, our often unspeakable deep feelings about it, and dare I say, the urge to merge, with others of like mind. I truly never tire of hearing about others' NDE (near-death experience) stories which move me deep within, remind me of my own NDEs, fascinate me, and call me home. I am happy to share with you, photos of special friends and connections from our time together. Scroll down....
In the midst of your busy life, we beseech thee to take time for thy own self. We speak of the human self and also thy SACRED SELF. If not in action, then in thought. Whereby your thoughts and your intentions have impact, power and sacred magic, you can alter the course of your reality by trusting and knowing that is so. Do not look necessarily for evidence of this in your ordinary reality and space, although surely it may show there. Look within, to thy SACRED SELF, to the messages within thee and for thee, to that "still small voice" and to your hunches, indeed to that inner light and connection to Mother-Father God who loves you forever more. Look to that DIVINE inner presence, the SACRED I AM, indeed the I AM THAT I AM, as Jesus so sweetly spoke of- yet, many heard and did not understand the true meaning behind his majestic words. You have a guiding light, an inner compass, that truly can and will direct you, as surely as day follows night. Trust and know that you and thy Father/Mother are ONE. 
I am with thee forever more and my light shines brightly upon you this day. Feel my love & my radiant blue light protecting you & blessing you NOW dear one.
and the beautiful surrounding land that feels very sacred to me. Sure, there is lots of traffic and great city life, and in addition, something more captures me.. (One of these days, I am going to visit San Juan and the other islands in the area. I hear them calling my name!). For now, back to Seattle- I had fun visiting the famed, thriving, and very (very) popular, Pike Place Market. Many funky shops, a farmer's market, a variety of ethic (and of course seafood) restaurants, cafes, yummy treats, naturally- great Seattle coffee, wine tasting, even a fortune teller, and so much 
more are to be found in this unique, historic, magical part of Seatte. If you love to people watch or take endless photos, this is the place, just pick a time when it's a bit less crowded. By the way, I did not intend my blog to turn into a travel log! So much moves my heart and soul these days. There is much I want to share.. Perhaps a little trip is in your future. I find that getting away, even for a night, can be refreshing and shift the energies, so to speak. We all need a change of scenery and to break up our routine a bit. It's the old, "What I Did on My Summer Vacation" thing.. No doubt about it, more than ever, transformation is the name of the game. Big time. Like a shooting star coming to a theater near you, only within you.
Bless you dear ones. You are never alone. Never without help. Never without answers to your burning questions. You are loved and adored. Speak only of the life you want to live. Your words have magic. Your words have power. Your words are the creative genius giving voice to your soul. Hear what you say. Hear what you truly want. Hear and listen. Thy Divine Father, Thy Divine Mother love you in a place where there is no space and time, in the now and forever, in the sacred inner recesses of thy heart, in the beauty of thy being, apparent flaws and all. Reach, reach far and wide. Now is the time. Now is the call for YOU to come forth, to be all that you truly are, to be all that your soul is designed to be. It is safe to be free, to be happy, and whole. Sit with us, sit with us in joy and light. The angels love you so.....
Greetings, Dear Hearts!
on the beautiful Mc Kenzie River, outside of Eugene, Oregon. How magical it was indeed, when about 50+ women came together for retreat, prayer, meditation, reflection, fellowship (or should I say womenship!), music, fun, yummy food, fireside chats, country walks, and more... Consciously loving & supporting ourselves and one another, as we acknowledged and healed the past and aligned ourselves more clearly with sacred intentions for the future, all in the power of the "Divine NOW." 
Blessed be the divine feminine, so crucial on our planet at this time! May the grace and mercy of the Divine Mother shine upon you and bring you peace, now and forever more...
This was my good fortune, when I recently stayed at a generous friend's great home, with its majestic water view, situated on the sands of this well-known bay. The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States. It lies off the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by Maryland and Virginia. What a treat it was for me to enjoy this sanctuary, while in town to present my near-death experience lecture to the Virginia Beach Friends of IANDS (FOI), (
Fear and anxiety will greatly reduce the good that is in each moment and waiting to come to you. Treat any hard times as temporary and a chance to be a mighty warrior for great goodness in your life and in the world. Wonder if you soul chose to be born at this particular time in history? Wonder if this is the perfect time to bring forth your soul's higher purpose and to no longer settle in any way?! Wonder if, in spite of dire predictions, a more bountiful life of freedom is just around the corner for you, your loved ones, and/or anyone? Can you say for sure it is not? If we keep doing what we have always done, we will get what we've always gotten, for better and worse.
We were delighted to conclude our retreat during the auspicious time of the
"Wesak" full moon. Wesak is a yearly holiday that marks the birth,
enlightenment, and death of the Gautama Buddha. It is celebrated during
the first full moon that occurs while the sun is in Taurus, which means
that it generally falls on the date of the first full moon in late
April or May. The festival of Wesak is Buddhist in origin, but people
of all faiths and backgrounds have welcomed and observed this annual
tradition, including us! We had a magical time, as we silently walked
the lovely labyrinth at Mercy Center, holding prayerful intentions, as the full moon in Scorpio, rose high in the Missouri sky, shining her sacred light over our beloved planet. Maybe next time, you will be joining us!
