Greetings!
Many of you wrote to say that the last ezine, "Our Health and Healing Light" was helpful and illuminating. I hope this one encourages you as well: in these times we need all the healing light we can create!
I also want to invite your assistance. As I take our sacred earth work to the Himalayas (Bhutan and Nepal) from 9/26-10/20 and to Mt. Diablo in the Bay Area from 10/23-27, I welcome your anchoring and grounding of this work, in whatever way you choose. I will draw on and weave the filaments of our connections as I travel those beautiful mountains!
With light and love,
Meg Beeler

 Working with Healing Light
"We live in a world of energy. An important task at this time is to learn to sense or see the energy of everyone and everything: people, plants, animals. This becomes increasingly important as we draw close to the World of the Fifth Sun, for it is associated with the element ether 'the realm where energy lives and weaves.'" --Carlos Barrios
"In any kind of situation, you have the choice of connecting with the energy that flows in the cosmos. You truly can transform that energy into love, and bring that love to all of our body. It's very different than ' personal power'. The important thing is to work with intent and incorporate that cosmic energy transformed in love in order to project that energy to the others. This is the essential principle of the art of magic in the Andes." --Americo Yabar
Shortly after I wrote "Our Health and Healing Light," I dreamed:
I am doing long-distance energy healing on a man. I vividly see his physical energy problems and where to smooth and work his energy lines. My hands are in his energy field about three inches from his hips, the main source of his pain, as I move them along his filaments.
I do this kind of energy work regularly (ponq'o, the Andean form I specialize in), yet I have not ever dreamed myself doing it. The dream felt like my subconscious responding to my writing, showing me how to do more self healing.
I love the gifts that such synchronicity offers us: ideas our conscious minds might not think of, ways to take care of our bodies, visualizations we can carry into waking life. As one of my ancestor helpers told me recently, "Light helps us regenerate our bodies, like lizards."
Working With Light Energy
Since light is energy, in a purely physical sense, we can think of "healing light" as enabling an energetic shift, an energetic solution to a problem.
I first realized I was "seeing" energy years ago when I was smudging people. As I moved the sage smoke to "clean" their bodies, I noticed areas that were "open" and areas that seemed dense and needed extra cleaning. Each person's energy field was different, and their fields changed from meeting to meeting.
I had no formal training, initially. Developing a skill that seems foreign has to do with shifting attention, paying attention, practicing, getting feedback. In other words, experience! Everyone has different skills and ways of "seeing," and we can all do it. As Carlos Barrios, a central interpreter of Mayan prophesies about 2012 states in the quote above, working with energy is essential in these times.
Many ancient traditions and cultures imaged and worked with healing light. Knowing this feeds our sense of what is possible. It provides clues about what you and I might do. It takes us beyond dogma.
Union with the cosmos-consciousness, the "rainbow body" as it is called, has roots in Egypt, in the Hermetic Tradition; in Persia, with the Zarasthrusan tradition; and in Asia, with the Buddhist Dzogchen & Tantric traditions. Creating filaments of light to connect people, sacred place, and the webs that encircle the planet has roots in the Andes and in many meditation practices. For example, the Incas perceived and fed "ceke lines" or filaments from temple to mountain to mountain to sacred place; Don Juan Matus (of Carlos Castaneda fame) described humans as luminous fibers enclosed in a luminous egg, with a single luminous fiber we can direct from our midsection to any conceivable place.
Many quantum physicists are now acknowledging the presence of a universal energy field that permeates the earth and connects all living things.
Patterns of Luminous Energy
We know now from quantum studies that patterns of energy exist in a diffuse state in our organs, our cells, our etheric bodies, our habits, our past, our future, and our minds. (Our brains are not really at the center of things, though we like to believe this.) In the field of our existence, "consciousness" makes up 99%, and mind (matter) only 1%!
The patterns of energy, disturbances in the patterns, and energy centers of the body reflect this consciousness, showing up as lines of light and color. Energy centers are referred to as chakras, dan tien, and hara in various traditions. The whole of our energy field can be referred to as the "luminous energy field."
Perceiving our patterns of energy and the fields of our bodies as light-as Alex Gray does so amazingly in his paintings (for more, see www.alexgray.com)-is a wonderful way to shift our attention from the purely physical. For example, when the vortexes of energy we call chakras have dull or muddy colors, we know they need cleansing or energizing; when they are bright and luminous, we feel vibrant as well! I love that, in Spanish, chakras are known as "eyes of light" (ojos de luz).
Likewise, looking at, learning about, and repairing the webs of light around the planet is a calling that seems to be spontaneously arising in many of us. We live in a matrix of energy; finding ways to "see" this takes us on a deeply rewarding and mystical journey. It helps us to feed both present and future with our hearts.
With these energies, we connect outside time/space with all other Earthkeepers and weavers of the web (trees, mushrooms, mountains, whales, humans) from all spiritual traditions. As we connect, one of our tasks is to bring our work into awareness of and resonance with everyone else doing this work. No boundaries, no ego, just healing ourselves and healing the planet together.
A beautiful new moon journey vision by a member of the Medicine for the Earth circle illustrates the interconnectedness of our luminous becoming:
"I felt energy from the Moon going into everything and then the energy became light. Very subtle beams of light were going all over the earth, making a mesh of light. The beams of light and I went underground and connected with metals in the earth and underground water. Then the beams of light woke up the seeds and roots in the ground. They moved into the trees and sent lines of energy to one another. This strengthened the mesh. This mesh became brighter and I could see a haze of light around the entire planet. I followed this light until it became concentrated somewhere in the ocean. Then I journeyed home."
Weaving the mystical and the physical together we empower our actions and our connections. When we open our minds to the infinite universe; when we open our bodies to delicious interconnection with all living beings; when we open our spirits to the divine light that fills us, we expand our consciousness in myriad ways!

Earthkeepers Meditation
The Earth-Cosmos meditation was inspired by many ancient practices for working with light. It helps us align with the earth and the cosmos, becoming "trees of life."

Roots of Global Warming
Provocative essay addresses the "300 years of our relentlessly exploitative, extractive, and exponentially growing technoculture against the background of ten millennia of hierarchical and colonial civilizations...the seductive promise of endless growth has grasped all of us civilized folk by the collective throat...We will not change course by addressing each separate issue; we have to address root cultural cause."
