On the 10^th of October we had a gathering for the 10:10:10 activation. There are portal days through out the year some seem to be more powerful than others. The ones at the end of the year seem to be more intense.

The summer was quite challenging for most people. We had several very difficult astrological alignments 2 eclipses and a grand cardinal cross, which is quite rare. Many people reported difficult times, but usually very illuminating, often ending issues that had seemed to drag on.

As we move into fall we move into the time of harvest. It is time to take stock of all the changes we faced over the summer months. Although we have not yet moved into the time of the year where we go underground and process, that is in the winter, we have reached the point where we need to take stock, innumerate our experiences.

For me it was a very challenging time. Each time someone asks me ‘how was your summer?’ I say ‘extreme’, very good and very difficult. Then they say ‘really? What happened?’ and I almost can’t remember. I seem to be left with an impression but not the details. But the details are important. When I do sit and recall all that happened I say ‘wow!’ yes, it really was challenging. Even the good was a lot of hard work. I am happiest when I am teaching, Dancing, interacting with students and traveling. But as I always say to others ‘be careful what you wish for, you will get it’, and I got it.

I was exhausted but in a good way. In the end I think that is what got me through the difficult times. I just had to keep moving forward. Which I think is why I find this concept of taking stock even more important. I knew I couldn’t look at what was happening, while it was happening, but it is very important to be aware of what is happening to you. So allow your self to be fully present in the moment and come back later and extract the wisdom from the lesson. Now is the time to re-member, collect all that happened to us in the past few months.

I feel that the 10:10:10 was a gift from the universe for all the challenges we faced over the summer. 10 is the number of new beginnings. It is also called the ‘God’ number because it is a higher vibration of one, the individual or unity. Each time you add a zero you raise the vibration ten fold. We have moved beyond the 9, completion, and it is time to begin again, a new.

In order to celebrate this new beginning on 10:10:10 we had a gathering. We came together to work together utilizing the energy of the day. I blended an elixir of floral water, essential oils and Al-chemia Remedies. The Remedies I used were Temple of the Sun and Dendera Temple. These are the remedies that vibrate to the numerical vibration of 10. They are the only Al-chemia Remedies that were made in temples, sacred space. The number 10 holds the place to create the sacred space for us to rise to a higher frequency. The essential oils I used were Vetiver and Frankincense. Vetiver is a very grounding oil, it is also used for spiritual protection. Frankincense is for meditation and raising the frequency.

The elixir was applied to the energy body. Each participant was free to do that in the way that  they felt most comfortable with. We then did a guided visualization together. The visualization took us through a process of activating and illuminating each of our 10 light centers. This is a very ordinary visualization. But we did it three times. Each time the light and the intensity increased. For me it was a very profound experience. I was not expecting to have the kind of response that I did. Each time I had a VERY different experience. In the end what I saw surprised me. When I shared it with the group someone had actually read an account very similar to mine. So I guess someone on the planet has had the same experience!

When we finished it was about 9:30pm. Everyone was very enthusiastic about their experiences and wanted to wait until 10:00pm, to see how adding another 10 into the equation would impact them. At 10:00pm we gathered together again. This time I suggested that rather than my guiding them through the process that each person take the journey on their own. I asked them to take a trip through there own energy system to check in, see where they were, what had changed. We all sat in silence, each in our own process, until 10:10pm when we came back together and closed the ceremony.

When we came back together I felt a bit overwhelmed, like maybe I had pushed the envelope a bit too far. I was overly energized, but I felt OK. Not uncomfortable just ‘extended’ and not quite sure in which direction. I stayed for a while in the space and Danced it out and that seemed to work, it brought me back to a centered place.

The next day I continued to have illuminating experience. The day after that brought the clearing and I ended up with a sore throat. Since this purification process is something I recognized I embrace it. I know that through it I am getting rid of something. A little discomfort is worth the opportunity to let go of all that does not serve us well, that which is lowering our vibration. So we are given the opportunity to release it with the illumination of how it has been affecting us.
