Say Oui To Honeybees

Say No to GMO

Say Oui to Honeybee

<3

I woke up with this thought on my mind.

It's kind of fun, isn't it?

Dad once said that we are dependent on bees for pollination. Without bees, all crops would not bear food for harvest, and everyone alive on earth will die of starvation.

I had forgotten about that.

According to the article on page 8 of this month's issue of ZOONEWS, the official magazine of the San Diego Zoo, "About eighty percent of all Earth's flowering plants depend on totally on animal-facilitated pollination to set seer or produce fruit, which not only feeds humans and other creatures but also creates and renews habitat. No habitat, no wildlife. Fortunately team pollination is a diverse group: in addition to a variety of invertebrates other animals including reptiles, mammals and birds pollinate plants in almost every habitat."

The European Honeybee was brought to North America by the settlers in the 1600's. However, there are over four thousand different kinds of bees that are native to North America that do not make honey.  For example, one of these native bees, the bumblebee, uses'a behavior called buzz pollination, or sonication where the bee holds the flower with its mouth and legs and moves its wing muscles rapidly, shaking the pollen from the plant with a force thirty times greater than gravity! Blueberries are pollinated by these powerful buzzing bumblebees more effectively than honeybees due to the shape of their flower.

"Over the past few years, there has been an increasing buzz among scientist about declining bee populations. As researchers look into colony collapse disorder, a phenomenon in which worker bees--the ones that perform pollination--vanish, usually without a trace, they are finding that it may well be a combination of diseases and parasites that honeybees have historically weathered.  What changed? Increased pesticide use and a continuing, rapid loss of habitat and forage plants are suspected as factors that are tipping the scale in the wrong direction. And it's not just honeybees that are feeling the sting--whatever affects honeybees also affects native bees."

If I am not mistaken, all worker bees are female.

They have the native energy of Gaia, which is a Feminine Planet.

Let's do what we can to 'tip the scales' back in favor of Life on our planet!

• buy organic
• avoid pesticide use in your own back yard
• create bee-friendly habitats in private and public spaces

Other creatures pollinate too--for the record, butterflies aren't so great because they don't get 'in' to the pollen as much as shorter-legged creatures. Hummingbirds do indeed pollinate as they go from one flower to the next. In South Africa, the bird of paradise plant is almost always pollinated by the sunbirds. Lorikeets also pollinate. 

Surprisingly enough, female mosquitos only drink blood to obtain protein that is needed to nourish their eggs. For flight, both the male and the female mosquito live on nectar of flowers, and pollinate while doing this. 

Geckos, slugs, certain mammals, flies, beeflies, lemurs, and bats are known for their pollination, too. The bat pollinates crops of avocados, cloves, dates, agave, carob, and cocoa trees!

"Looking at how much humans benefit from pollinator actions, it's clear they are a force we can't live without. Power to the pollinators--long may they thrive!"

Remember, when Gaia heals, we all heal.

And when we heal ourselves, Gaia heals also!

Rebirth At The Ross Fountain ; )

This is the fountain at the end of the Butchart Garden

They were installed by Ian Ross in 1964 to celebrate the Sixtieth Anniversary of the Gardens (more about Butchart here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butchart_Gardens)

 Under the bench where I was going to sit to watch the fountain, I saw this small animal. It is a bat. I used this paper to move it out of the walking path and into a bush so no one would step on it.

What are the odds of finding a bat in broad daylight where you are about to sit? Why is it that many people, in fact, everyone who saw it, was concerned about it's well-being and wanted it to be moved out of harm's way? The  paper that I used to move it was given to me by another guest at the gardens.

Now that I am home, I took the chance to look it up in the Animal Medicine Cards for it's meaning. It is 'Rebirth'. For example, the Shamanic death is the symbolic death of the initiate to the old ways of life and personal identity. The initiation that brings the right to heal and to be called a shaman is necessarily preceded by ritual death. In every case Bat signals rebirth of some part of yourself or the death of old patterns. If you resist your destiny if can be a long, drawn out, or painful death. The universe is always asking you to grow and become your future. To do so you much die the shaman's death. 

Sacred Bat...flew to me, From the darkness of the cave. Womb-like reflections, Answers it gave. Birth, death, rebirth, Cycles of the whole...Never-ending, just eclipsed, The journey of the soul.


Aloha and Mahalo,
Namaste,

Reiki Doc

Grid to Sector Transformation

Today's Daily Dose of Reiki and distance healing was done in the parking lot at Target in my car--and it was awesome!

As the Healing was sent out, the energy connected to the grid. The 'grid' is interconnection of points of Light on Gaia that look almost like a flight routes map from an airline, with little lines that bow up and connect the dots.

I saw flashes of Light traveling fast along the grid with each Healing sent. They were white. This is nothing new.

Then the Light was pink-gold. It changed to green. Then it changed to blue.

At this point the little lines that bow up and connect the points started to sway back and forth, making a sector. They looked like the shape of a lemon wedge between the points.

That was cool! The Light on the Grid has been so activated, that the Grid is starting to 'fill out' and take up space.

Just like a seed has to grow roots before it can grow as a plant, something stepwise and important is happening that is new for the Lightworker Community.

It felt exciting, fresh, right, and really well organized as I saw it before my 'eyes'. I use my 'third eye' to 'see' that which is invisible. Your third eye, once opened, can 'see' too. How does it open? Decide you want it to open. Give it time. And watch for any signs of opening up. Impressions, intuitions, and the like.

Since a visual might be helpful for you I have put together a short pictorial, on something similar, and that is medical ultrasound. Dolphins, Whales and Bats have echolocation. The bouncing of sound waves off of objects creates a 'picture' in their mind. All we humans can do with sound is yodel off a mountain! But since we wanted to be able to use 'sonar' or 'ultrasound' technology, there had to be a device made.

Here is a physician doing an echo study of the patients heart.

This is a two-dimensional image of the heart with doppler color flow showing mitral regurgitation. (the echo I do is not external, there is a probe in the stomach which I insert and manipulate to obtain images of the heart which is right next to the stomach.)

Most people are more familiar with baby ultrasounds. Plus there are more images online. So here is the point:

The picture on the left is a two-dimensional image of a baby in the uterus. It is a flat silhouette. That is the technology. Give it a 'boost' with a lot of expensive modifications to the ultrasound machine and on the RIGHT you get a nice three-dimensional image of the face.

And the three-dimensional imaging can get even better!

See how the image is 'filling out' with more detail? That is what I saw. The simple grid is starting to 'flesh out' energetically. And the spaces between the points are becoming something more substantial.

There are a lot of buttons on an echo machine.

Dolphins don't have a single one. Whales don't have to have wheels and a plug to see images with sound. And bats could never take flight if they had to lug all of this. You have to respect that gift.

On second thought, pregnancy is a great parallel to the energy of the Ascension process. You know you are pregnant--you have a test that is positive, you feel something is 'different' in your body, you might even get sick to your stomach. But what is growing inside is something you feel but you can't see. The quickening, the butterfly tickles inside of you from the moving miracle growing inside of you is one of the first ways you can tell something is truly alive and growing in the womb. But without modern technology, it is something that is NOT visible. You can't 'see' the child until it is born. Or until you have a great echo study!

And to show me that things aren't what they seem--take a look at a doctor doing an echo study on a patient elsewhere in the globe. The machine is the same, but the uniform? I thought my scrubs were bad...not anymore! I am glad not to wear the hat that lady doc has to wear! I'll take my blue bouffant hat any day.

Namaste,
