We are delighted and excited to share a newly released book: Prophetic Voices of the Sisters of Honua - a collection of essays and articles from Indigenous Elders, Grandmothers and Women Wisdom Keepers interwoven with poetry, prophecy and prose from Maria Yraceburu.

Honua, in Hawaiian, means ‘Earth’.  This book is a great coming together of Sisters of the Earth, sharing wisdom, prophecy, insight and initiation as a gentle beckoning to All to return to the circle of Sisterhood with the Earth, one another and indeed, to our Universal family.

As a proud member of the Sisters of Honua, I invite you to receive this book with open arms.  It is a sacred reflection of our inter-connectedness, and an awakening call for women to claim their authentic power, embody the Divine feminine and birth Humanity into a new paradigm of Peace and Illumination.

Prophetic Voices of the Sisters of Honua is now available

at Amazon or Lulu.com

Preface from Prophetic Voices:

“A time of prophecy fulfillment is at hand and the Women Wisdom Keepers of Earth step forward to request our assistance in making Earth a Place of Respect.  These women of great power and knowledge have long waited for the moment in time when reverence, responsibility, nurturing and life affirmation of the future would signal the re-turning of Earth … respected feminine in all areas — from healing and spirituality to peace education and cooperative lifestyle changes.  The teaching being presented here are fundamental elements of Earth Wisdom, including actualization of common nobility, individual potential recognition, and the interconnection with Earth.  the teachings reflect the proud and ancient truth of Now.

Maria Yraceburu has spent her entire life in service to the traditional earth teachings of her hereditary lineage … that of the Quero Apache Snake Clan.  It is her goal in this project to bring together those that carry the teachings that will move the combined consciousness of humanity into the next Time Paradym, known to the Apache as the Great Coming Together, to the Inkan as the Time of Meeting Ourselves, and to the Hopi as the Time of Infinite Peace.  these traditions, and more, are presented here in Great Love and Hope for finding a common ground of understanding that will carry Human Kind forward as balanced caretakers of Sacred Life.”

As we hugged, saying ‘Goodbye for Now’, it dawned on me our Hearts had just kissed.  We became One for a cosmic moment, embracing fully the wholeness of one another, and I experienced the Bliss of the resolving of polarities.

What do I mean by the ‘resolving of polarities”?

This same friend had just walked me through a powerful installation of a conscious awareness of inner patterns/programs that embody, perpetuate and co-create Bliss.  Ecstasy. Ekstasis.

Ekstasis is defined as this: The state of being beside one’s self or rapt out of one’s self.

Ekstasis is a word I use to describe what it feels like when I’m in the ‘flow’.  When I am tapped into the rhythm of Source, in harmony with Self and the World, and fully able to embody, perpetuate and co-create inspired connections and experience the state of Bliss.

So, the ‘resolving of polarities’ is the Divine Union.  It is the merging of This and Not This.  It is accepting All that IS, embracing fully the quantum dimensions of present-moment expression,and acting from a place of integrity and Unity. A willingness to surrender the illusion of separation and become ONE. One with Self.  One with Another. One with Life.  One with God.  One with the energy of Love.

Such is the nature of a Hug.

As we feel into this truth, we become aware that Hugging is a Divine Union, a merging of This (Self) and Not This (Other).  It is an acceptance of All that IS between us, as we embrace the Cosmic embodiment beside us, and become ONE.

This state of Oneness, and the Love that flows through a hug, continues long after we have said our Goodbyes and parted ways.  The coming together has touched our soul so deeply, kissed our Heart so completely, we are able to return to one another instantly by remembering the HUG.

Interestingly,  hugging is akin to Gratitude (you knew I’d slip it in, right?)

Gratitude is both give and receive.   When we enter a hug, we are both giver and receiver, Embraced and Embrace-er.   In every way, hugging transcends what words cannot convey, allowing our hearts to speak the pure language of Love … and so comes the resolution of polarities - the Divine Union.  With it, the experience of ekstasis.

Perhaps the definition, ‘rapt out of one’s self’ also means ‘wrapped out of oneself’.  Ahhhh … the ecstasy of a HUG.

So beloveds … I’m feeling especially grateful today.  Grateful for a propensity towards hugging.  (Did I tell you I LOVE HUGGING?!!!)  Grateful to my Nana, who embedded a deep appreciation for being hugged.  Oh! to have those mushy Grandma arms wrapped around me. Grateful for my children, young and old, who still allow me to lay some Hug Love on them, and return it just as quickly.   Grateful for a (k)new friend, whose presence and guidance elicited an even deeper appreciation of something so dear me.

So I’m praying forward the Love, flowing through the inter-web a big, mushy *HUG* …  a Heart Kiss from me to you … in Gratitude for this gathering space, to shine light on inspired insights and for all the times your Love has kissed my heart.

OOOOoooo …. guess what just came thru …

even in the word HUG, we find the resolving of polarities:

Humanity

United in

Gratitude

The bright crimson leaves of Autumn remind us this is a season of letting go — releasing and preparing ourselves for the arriving cold season.  Yes - the winds of change, biting frost and visible breath billowing out to lead our steps  are all part of the Joy of the Season and even more reason to appreciate the Wisdom and Beauty of Nature.

One gift of this Beauty and Wisdom is that it teaches us we live in a benevolent world, one that flows in ever changing cycles that are intended to support the continuance of Life.  It is our honor — and choice — to live in harmony with the cycles and seasons,  and to use the abundant resources of Mother Nature to support a thriving, abundant, joyful and health-filled life.

With the incoming ‘cold season’ also comes a flurry of opportunities to let go in other ways  - of dis-ease, dis-empowering habits, and even buggery viruses, sniffles and flu streaks.

Over the years, we’ve found simple is best, so we’ve compiled a select list of  our most cherished, effective and widely accessible health-aids to boost the immune system and enhance our ability to quickly move through anything that comes our way.

Not surprisingly, a mountain of evidence is beginning to surface, reflecting that our time-tested, natural methods of enhancing health and well-being are far superior to hastily created, potentially dangerous, ‘money-making rackets’ that often cause the very thing they are touted to protect us from. We have found the below info to be of great worth and trust it will bless your lives, too.

Remember, together we possess a massive amount of wisdom and healing power and you’re invited and highly encourages to share methods here that work for your family, too.

Thank you, in advance, for sharing your wisdom tools!

Let’s get going:

MMS - Miracle Mineral Solution

We use this often and with great success — as a daily health maintenance and for all sorts of ailments that come our way.  MMS is truly a blessing beyond measure! We have been flu free for many years, and attribute much of our health to MMS.

For the MMS Flu protocol, we’ve set up a special page to make sure you are empowered to use it to its full potential. To read, go here:

MMS FLU PROTOCOL

We cured our 5 year-olds strep throat in a day, without the use of antibiotics that strip our natural defenses and leave us potentially more vulnerable.  We have also used MMS for common colds, to clean wounds, purify water and even get the mildew-odor out of clothes left too long in the washer (3 activated drops in the wash bin (no need for more soap!) and rinse again. Fresh and mildew-free.

Please consider making this product a household must-have.  You will be glad you did and can thank us later!

Oil Pulling

Step 1:  Take 1 Tbsp of either sesame oil or sunflower oil and swish in mouth for 15-20 mins. on an empty stomach.  DO NOT SWALLOW.  Pull it through the teeth and use a chewing motion *without* clanking teeth together.  Spit in toilet when done, as the oil (and now lots of spit, too) will be filled with bacteria.

Step 2:  Take one cup warm water and add 1 tsp salt.  Stir til dissolved and gargle with salt water.  Really swish it through the teeth to remove traces of oil and use a toothbrush, making sure to get the gums, too.  Use about 1/4 - 1/3 of the salt water.  Now fill the cup again, cup your hand and pour this weaker saline solution into your hand.  Draw through the sinuses, spitting out the saline in the sink.  This helps to clear the nasal passages, and makes sure any bacteria that might have climbed up is out.

This ayurvedic practice is simple, effective and something recommended as a life-long practice. Doing this on an empty stomach is important, so do the Oil pulling first thing in the AM or right before bed - or both!

10 Simple Common-Sense Flu Prevention Practices

compiled by Carol Hansen Grey

Carol is a long-time social activist, friend and all-around wise-woman.  She put together a simple, no-nonsense list of basic wisdom to help keep you and your family stay healthy and limit risks associated with catching the flu:

… and for the Wise Wives’ tale, we’ll let you decide whether it works or not!  If you do give it a go, let us know your experiences.  There are a lot of naysayers out there — that this is more rumor than real benefit.  We say, ‘Why not?’

Keep an Onion by the bed - or in every room!

Cut both ends off an onion put one end on a fork and then place the forked end into an empty jar…placing the jar next to the sick patient at night.

Here’s some history on this:

In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu. Many of the farmers and their family had contracted it and many died.

The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy.  When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).

The  doctor couldn’t believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope.  She gave  him one and when he did this, he did find bacteria in the onion.  It obviously absorbed the bacteria,  therefore, keeping the family healthy.

Last, and perhaps most importantly:

An Attitude of Gratitude

Gratitude brings us home to the Heart of Now, allowing us to release stress and dis-ease by focusing on thoughts that bring us peace.  Gratitude is also the highest serotonin producing emotion, which helps to relax our muscles, maintain an alkaline body chemistry and be stress-free.

Stress is, perhaps, the most over-looked cause of illness, because we lock our body into a fight or flight mode, spilling adrenaline into the system, creating resistance to the ‘flow’, which clears our blood and keeps us on the Go.

When you start to feel fear, worry, doubt or stress wearing your down, take a moment and breathe.  Breathe again, deeply into your heart, and fully release this breath to make space for the next.  With each breath really feel yourself being the Great*Full*Ness of Life!

Let any and all thoughts go, watch them as if a river is taking them away and simple BE for moment.  Listen to the space between each breath and allow yourself to simply focus on the feeling of being grateful for this moment, for now, for the gift of Life. Now you are centered and able to move forward with ease and grace!

An Attitude of Gratitude gives us a place to go and remember we are Love, Loved, and are free to Love our Life so!

To explore the energy of Gratitude more, here’s an article called, “The Bridge to Peace’ sharing a simple tool for moving into a deeper state of Gratitude:

http://www.gogratitude.com/g-bridge-process.html

Many blessings of health and wellness to all!  May we all move through this season of change with wisdom and grace!  Again, please share your experiences here, wisdom tips and health-empowering insights.  Mahalo!

((Our addition: First give thanks that you have a simple way thru the flu.  This sets the tone for the body to release with ease and grace, creates intent and puts your mind-body-spirit in an openly receptive space. ))

1. In a cup or glass mix 1 drop of MMS with 5 drops of unfiltered vinegar or fresh lemon juice. Swirl and wait three minutes for activation to be completed.

2. .Add ½ glass of water or juice that does not have added ascorbic acid or vitamin C (Vitamin C prevents proper functions of this solution). Drink this whole amount as quickly as possible.

3. If you felt absolutely no change during this first hour, go ahead and go to 2 drops on the second hour. (Always use 5 drops of vinegar or lemon juice for each drop of MMS, and of course, the three minute wait) Go to 3 drops on the third hour if you have not felt any change in nausea) The nausea is not bad. It indicates that the MMS is killing pathogens. But do not cause yourself nausea by taking more. Over time increase to a maximum of 6 drops MMS with 30 drops of the acid. If you weigh over 200 pounds then 10 drops might be the maximum.

Keep in mind that most people will not go over 3 or 4 drops an hour before they begin to feel added nausea. Upon any sensation of nausea, they must reduce the number of drops by at least one drop. Nausea occurs when MMS is killing germs and viruses faster than your elimination system can handle the debris. There is no benefit in tolerating nausea.

4. Continue taking MMS each hour for 12 hours. The flu should be gone by the end of 12 hours; however, in any case, do not stop taking MMS until you are sure you have recovered. If you still feel flu symptoms the next day be sure to continue on the same hourly doses. Children can have the same treatment except be extra cautious to prevent nausea or sick feeling. Do this by using smaller doses. Increase by 1/2 drop each time and never go above 3 drops an hour.

5. Continue to take a six drop dose twice a day for the next week or two.

6. To prevent the flu and maintain you immune system in top condition take one 6 drop dose of MMS every day for adults and children should take a dose each day depending upon their age or size. Use 1 drop for each 25 pounds of body weight, and 1 drop for babies.

(For those who are familiar with MMS and previous use protocols, the max dosage used to be a lot higher.  Jim has recently updated this and we find it a much gentler experience)

Feeling Common cold coming on? At the first sign of throat tickle or nose sniffle, use 3 drops, activate and celebrate because you will be through with it before Kleenex has chance to take issue with selling less tissues!

Now this is vital:  Drink lots of water. Your body will be flushing toxins galore, and you need to support its ability to clear, clear, clear.

We have also used MMS to clean wounds, purify water and even get the mildew and odor out of clothes left too long in the washer (3 activated drops in the wash bin (no need for more soap!) and rinse again. Fresh and mildew-free.

Also, here is a link to download an e-book written by Jim Humble on the history, mystery and promise of MMS: http://miraclemineral.org/part1.php It’s a great starting place to explore more on this amazing product.

Our distributor is Project Green Life - a wonderfully conscious company offering professional grade MMS, manufactured by a GMP Certified Nutraceutical company, and packages it with the utmost attention to quality and safety.

You will find many manufacturers of MMS - PGL is the best we have found and encourage you to look at their other products, as well.  Lots more to be grateful for!

Our lives have been blessed beyond measure by this simple, yet effective solution brought to light by Jim Humble.  Jim began treating Malaria with it, and witnessed such phenomenal success, he expanded his treatments to multiple maladies only to find it was truly miraculous healing tool — without the contraindications of Big Pharma medications — and costs pennies per dose.

Thank you, Jim, for your service to the world!

It’s become a Rite of Passage in the family — a sort of ‘I AM committed to healing myself’ AND a leap of Faith. The smell alone triggers the flight or flight mechanism, daring us to face our fears, swallow our pride and trust we will make it to the other side.

Whew! Juice is marvelous at curing/preventing the flu, cold or plain ‘ol lack of courage.

Here’s our family Recipe for whew juice!  In-JOY!

Equal parts: Horseradish root, garlic, white onion, habanero pepper, ginger + Apple cider vinegar

Chop/shred all ingredients, place in glass jar, cover with apple cider vinegar, seal and store for 1.5 months. Best to make at new moon, and harvest at full Moon (6 weeks later). Strain pulp, and store liquid in a glass jar.

(No metal contact! This is vital as the acidity of this elixir will pull the metal into the mixture … been there, done that, lot a whole batch -grrr!  This includes canning jar lids, too.  We use a plastic baggie between the juice and the lid, just to be extra sure.)

So how to use this miracle juice?  Take 1 Tbsp at first sign of throat tickle/sluggishness/flu, continue once or twice a day til you’re feeling tip-top and clear again  … or anytime you wish to prove how courageous you are!

For children, simply place a drop in water, once an hour, every hour. ‘ Straight up’ is a bit much for their tender pallets.

*** Breath freshner optional, though highly recommended … ***
