Well, how did that go for you?
If you choose to share, please do. Either here or at the gathering.

I'll write out my experience and post it here in a little bit.

1. Everyone will have a different experience
And each is just right. Perfect.

This is mine:

So I went through the process of shielding and then down an elevator from ten to one. When I stepped out of the elevator I found myself beside a great river. So, being very practical, I waded in and then floated down the river and out into the ocean. I loved the wide view of sky and horizon. The clouds were stacked. They were tall and fluffy but were light in color. No storms brewing here. I searched the sky until, high up and far away I saw the beacon shining and twinkling in the early evening light.

I decided that my water journey was at an end and gently lifted out of the water and into the sky. It took what seemed like a long time to reach the beacon and I could see figures moving around in a slowly moving circle below me. They looked to be wearing flowing medium blue. As I floated down toward the group I watched in fascination as they moved in patterns. The people were each turning in clockwise circles while at the same time the whole group was moving in a clockwise motion. At the same time they were also moving in flower and starlike patterns like some sort of elaborate Busby Berkley routine. There was continual movement in the group. I took my place in the group and we continued with the celebration.

Then, while I stood with the group, a part of me stood up on a tall rock and I called for everyone to lift up their dreams. We all held our dreams (intention) up in our hands and then all together we released our dreams.

There was a lot of movement and everyone was in different colors. It was like fancy butterflies hatching into their colorful wings.


After that it was time to come home and I flew back to the elevator, up from one to ten and then I was back. But I stayed still for awhile with my eyes closed enjoying the mellow feeling.



Now we wait and see how things shake out.

2. Just to let everyone know...
I can't figure out how to do the live chat on the other site!! Maybe I'm just too tired. I'm able to see everyone else chatting, but can't navigate to get my 2 cents in. I fear they give me more credit than I deserve!!! Anyhow...Please tell them I TRIED!!

5. I'm so sorry, JA.....

Maybe we can chat (phone) sometime and walk you through it and see if there is a simple thing being missed. Let me know if you ever want to do that.

I sure hope you're feeling better these days...any developments?

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

7. JA, I have some basic instructions on how to use the chat room
It's at the top of the page under the ASAH banner. Take a look and see if it makes sense to you. If not One Grass Root's offer of a phone call might be more helpful :hug:

Oh and I also left a reply to your post in the experiment thread.

4. That IS so lovely!!!

I wasn't able to be at the computer at that time, but I did join in. I was in a beautiful meadow, with butterflies lifting en masse...wishes, hopes and dreams...so that feels synchronous. :)

Thanks for doing that, Bonnie, BTW, that spiral image is so powerful!

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

9. Funny you should see butterflies
That is so what all the movement at the last bit looked like. Have you ever seen how butterflies are in a swarm? It was like that except we were all different colors.

I'm pleased you had an uplifting experience.

6. I slept for hours and hours and hours.
When I stepped off the elevator, I was on a small bridge in a forest, humid but comfortable. Thought I saw someone on the other end and hurried on over. As soon as I reached the other side, I just couldn't keep my eyes open and fell down on moss. First time in years I've slept 7hours straight in one night. Even getting myself into bed did not break the hold of pure rest. No dreams, nothing.

Thank you, BonzaiBonnie! I will try it again tonight. I'm sure my mind and body has gotten enough rest to stay alert :rofl:

11. Sleep is good
Even if you were asleep, you were joining us as that was your intent.

10. Did you post it in a thread or blog?
Because if it's just in the chatroom, well, there's no chat-logging, so it may or may not still be there ;)

I'll say for my own experience that I will be picking something a bit more upbeat next time as background music as what I had picked (Jonathan Goldman's "Waves of Light") was putting me to sleep! :P

Also, I tried two thoughts to hold up, one being my cat's health and the other being my own, so I'll just have to see how effective I was...

"Our March 16th exercise"

I hope your intentions will manifest for both you and kitty :grouphug:

14. It went well!
I saw the same things as you, Bonnie! :D

In my case, I settled into the newly dedicated Brigid Bedroom ;) with one of my amethyst orbs and my goddess pillar candle that I reanointed with Isis oil.

After counting down, I found myself in a forest, and I could see a light through the trees. I made my way toward it and saw a bonfire, plus a small fire in a clay bowl/pot way high up on a tripod/stand (the beacon). Everyone here was in a circle around the bonfire, but before I got there, I was stopped by my higher self/guide. She asked me what intentions I was bringing, and I told her (I had quite a few--for myself, for my family and friends, and for the world). I also expressed appreciation for having Brigid enter my life. My guide brought Brigid in; she told me that what she wanted for me was to be more of a warrior in my life.

At one point (I don't remember when) I envisioned holding the earth in my hand with pinkish purple light around it (kind of like Stella's sig pic). And at another point my guide gave me a small box wrapped in a clothlike paper and tied with raffia. She said my intentions were inside it and I should toss it into the bonfire.

After I left them with their blessing, I joined the circle around the bonfire, and yes, Bonnie, everyone was dancing, circles within circles, as you said! :) The dancing reminded me of the medieval circle dances I learned in college, many of which are quite complicated.

I stayed there a while, and left with hugs all around, but the meditation didn't last much longer than 20 minutes in real time.

15. Like others, I had trouble concentrating, but I stated my
Edited on Wed Mar-17-10 04:24 PM by japple
intention and tried to maintain a calm, centered state. At one point, I became aware of figures moving about, though it seemed to me they were moving in a zero gravity atmosphere. I had a feeling of oneness with all and know that all of us who participated were gathered there, whether we felt anything or not.

I think we need more practice, Bonnie. Maybe we should try to start doing this on a monthly basis. Maybe our astrologers could let us know what would be the best times to get into a deep meditative state.

16. In my elation at the completion of our exercise... basking in the afterglow
I missed thanking you all.

So......

Thank You




Whatever you saw, whatever you felt, how well you slept <G>, could concentrate, had trouble concentrating, didn't see, didn't feel... understand that if it was your intention to join us, you did.

It was my intention that everyone was able to release their intention to the Universe. It is a really important part of manifesting to truly let go of what you want. And you all did that very well. You did that perfectly.


For those who want to practice this again... yeah! I think it merits another round. Perhaps, as someone suggested that we ask our resident astro people for a good time to do this again.

17. Thank goodness! I was hesitant
to ask for another session.

Thank you, BonzaiBonnie. I just think this month and the next few are vital in stepping into the realm of intention as much as possible. :hug:
