Anna's Message from Elias


A message from Elijah's mom Anna
Anna, the mother of Elias, has asked that we to spread this across as many places as we can around the internet. You can help us help her by passing it on. She has expressed deep gratitude for all the love shown for Elias.

---A PSYCHIC TRANSMISSION FROM ELIJAH---
Elias has been in psychic contact on a spirit-soul level with a woman who knows him and I am going to transmit to everyone what he has said. I have decided that we will all call him Elijah now. She is a friend and is not paid. She started to get this transmission last night after our prayer vigil. She says she has been in contact with him ever since she heard about this, but he has been scattered like “shards of glass.” He had to process a lot of darkness.. But, last night, she says, she was able to get a clear communication with him for several hours, and while she was telling me about it he joined us while we were on the phone.

The first thing he told her last night was that “the prayers helped me.” For those who don’t know, we had a powerful prayer and guided meditation vigil last night. And, I also said last night that Elijah was born into this world for a purpose, and that purpose is to teach love to humanity. So imagine getting this transmission today:Elias says repeatedly that what happened was like an unfortunate accident. It shouldn't have happened. The person involved needs compassion.

Elias is adamant that he wants everyone to react with love and compassion. He wants a circle of people, whoever is capable, to hold space at the same time every day for compassion meditation and to let him know what time that will be so that he can join us.

He does not want so much energy put on what happened. Put energy into love and compassion. People are digging, he says, seeking with too much frustration to find out what happened. Surrender and allow it to be revealed. Taking action is good, but don’t focus too much on seeking. [It is clear he is not against our search, but wants us to remain in control of our attitudes.]

The risks he may have taken have nothing to do with what happened. Extra drama can be created by grabbing at facts about his life, but isn’t needed. This can lead to people accusing each other. People should not dive in where it isn’t needed.

He says that this whole event is a lesson. He wants us to learn the lesson! If we focus on the wrong things we may not learn the lesson.

He wanted to let me know how much he loves me, that I touch his soul and that I was a wonderful goddess to come through. At this point he made the psychic look at roses in her garden!

He is grateful that I am open to allowing this lesson to be learned. He wants us to show love for all – not just him. And to have no vindictiveness. He wants there to be complete forgiveness.[I said I am going to write this up and put it on the internet for everyone.]

Speak from your heart Mom. Write like a Sufi, and be my muse. Be my instrument. A lute. Start it with a Sufi poem. [But I will end it that way.] You will find the perfect poem.

All will be revealed. We must be patient. Be present with love and compassion. If we allow the truth to appear in an authentic way, it allows things to shift. [I said I don’t want him to feel guilty for taking risks that might have allowed this to happen]. He said he does not feel guilty but he has had some frustration about attachments to do certain things, but it doesn’t matter

[Is he giving up?] He isn’t giving up on anything!

It was ridiculous. It shouldn’t have happened but it happened for the lesson. It was necessary for it to happen. Sometimes we have to be taught extreme lessons. We can read books but not really understand.

Elias wants us to proceed with compassion every step of the way.

Emotions need to be released, to be honored and allow them to flow through like a stream, but don’t let them constrict you. So the key is to honor your emotions without holding them inside.

He wants to raise the vibration. Use less intellect. Keep returning to the love or we will miss the lesson. The lesson is about love.

Have compassion on someone who may have had an accident with Elias.

He wants me to nurture myself and be his muse. Go find a poem and write from your heart.

A final reminder about the compassion circle.

A poem of Hafiz

When
The violin
Can forgive the past

It starts singing.

When the violin can stop worrying
About the future

You will become
Such a drunk laughing nuisance

That God
Will then lean down
And start combing you into
His Hair.

When the violin can forgive
Every wound caused by
Others

The heart starts
Singing.

Searching For Elias




Elias Sorokin a friend of ours has been missing for 9 days now from the Santa Cruz, CA area. It seems impossible to blog about anything else. He and his mom, in particular, along with all of the large community of family and friends searching for him are constantly in my heart on my mind. I've include a link to a facebook group dedicated to finding Elias and will be posting another blog specifically with a message that Anna, Elias' mom, has asked that we spread widely. Please read both and pass them along. I am copying the poem Anna chose here, so that we can all reflect on love and light and pass it along.

Everyday we choose.


Hi Friends...I've been gone for awhile, amidst some changes in life, but I'm back and ready to write again. Hope some (or all) of you are still out there. Sorry for the long hiatus!

My mom forwarded this email to me today and it completely resonated with how I "try" to live. I don't always succeed for sure, but it is what I believe. I believe that life is about the choices we make. We can choose happiness or a life of misery. I know it is not that simple, but in many ways it is. There are always unfortunate things that happen to people....sometimes really, really horrible events, but if we are able to come out of them alive, perhaps even find meaning in them, but more importantly in time let go of them, then we can continue to choose happiness or peace of mind. It's in the holding on and the anger and discontentment that we get stuck. It reminds me of the old saying "Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die". I can't remember how many times I've done that... ughh.


I'm not pretending to have all the answers here, because A) I'm not that pretentious and B) who does?, but I do know that this has worked for me and I hope it might help someone out there who might happen upon this blog. I try to teach my children that they have choices everyday. They can choose to pick up their toys and move on to the next fun activity or choose to go to their room. One option will most likely bring some happy moments, the other probably tears. Well, I've gone on too long ;-). Here is a copy of the email. It gets the point across much better.

A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.

His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.

As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window. 'I love it,' he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait. ''That doesn't have anything to do with it,' he replied. Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged .. it's how I arrange my mind.

I already decided to love it.' It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do. Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away..

Just for this time in my life. Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in. So,my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1.. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

The Flow Show


I was privileged to be among some of the most amazing spinners and objects manipulators at the first "Flow Show" held at CounterPulse in San Francisco in April, as part of the Bay Area National Dance Week. It was a confluence of energy that left me breathless and wanting more and desiring to learn and grow in many ways. I am eternally grateful to Khan, the main instigator of the event, who put countless hours and money to make this dream happen. Also, my sisters in the hoop Melissa, Beth and Mary who help in the creation of the dance I performed, and of course my beautiful family for making it work so I could go on such a trip. Gratitude abounds.
