In this full color pracical guide, Susanne Weikl details how to connect mentally and spiritually with Huna's Seven elemental forces of nature.  She provides simple exercises, techniques and rituals to help you sense and meet each of the elemental forces as well as nature spirits and draw on them for manifestation and empowerment. In the Huna tradition of Hawaii, there are seven elemental forces whose all-pervading energies flow around us in abundance. Each of us has the ability to easily tap into this rich source of energy to aid us in any situation, empower ourselves and our actions, and manifest good things in our lives.   You will learn to communicate directly with nature spirits, including gnomes, dwarfs, leprechauns, and the weather, and work with nature on an energetic level. You will learn how to build a wheel of the elements to anchor your connection to the energies of the elements and provide a conduit for easily accessing their powers at any time. You will also receive inspirational messages from each of the seven elemental forces.  By connecting with the seven elemental forces of Hawaiian shamanism, you open yourself to an infinite reservoir of energy, an oracle for finding answers to difficult questions, a powerful support for manifesting positive outcomes, and an intuitive source for decoding symbols in nature. We each are already connected with nature and, with the practices in this book, we each can become a nature energy worker.

Jason Interviews Special Guest Pia Orleane, Ph.D. and Cullen Baird Smith about their new book, Pleiadian-Earth Energy Astrology.    The authors discuss how to navigate the spiral energy patterns of the Universe for spiritual advancement and conscious evolution.   They explain how the cycles of the 13 spirals of Universal energy and the 20 spirals of Earth energy interact on each calendar day as well as provides a Pleiadian perspective on how they influence us and the events in our lives.   This book Offers practical examples of how you can consciously use the energies prevalent on a given day to your personal, spiritual benefit  and Shares cosmic wisdom teachings from the Pleiadian group known as Laarkmaa.    Modern science has finally confirmed an essential component of the Pleiadian teachings: Our Universe is not linear; it moves in spirals. Human evolution also unfolds in spirals, rather than the linear progression we call “progress.” Sharing the cosmic wisdom teachings they have received from the Pleiadian group known as Laarkmaa, authors Pia Orleane and Cullen Baird Smith reveal a new system of Pleiadian-Earth energy astrology centered on the spiraling and interconnected movement of Universal and Earth energies, rather than on time, and explain how this new wave of Pleiadian wisdom can support human evolution.    Providing a map to transcend all systems that no longer serve us, freeing us to become the enlightened cosmic beings we truly are, the authors show how, with the wisdom of the Pleiadian-Earth energy system, we can each discover our specific gifts, work through the challenges of our own shadows, and individually and collectively evolve into a higher vibrational species.
