So much energy is moving. Change is definitely afoot. What have you experienced this year of Transformation – 2012?
The Shift has definitely begun for me. It really began in January when my husband went for his stress test ordered by his cardiologist. The technician said it was good he walked the dog all of the time. So we thought the results would be positive Continue reading
By: Rev. Marilee Ann Snyder-Nieciak on March 23, 2012
It was August 1997 and the Universe conspired to get me to residential Soul Retrieval Training in the Mountains of Oregon. The high meadow hot springs (clothes not optional) were soothing, healing and nurturing after the damp bone chilling nights. I remember lying in a hot spring (98 degrees) in a meadow watching Eagles dance against the bright blue sky with the Northern Conifer Rain Forest as the backdrop. What an experience of being one with nature. Then there was the experiential Shamanic Healing and Soul Retrieval Training with Sandra Ingerman.
How I got to this idyllic place was anything but ideal yet full of lessons, learning and life changing events. I look back with such gratitude and appreciation for all of the people that helped me get there and back…Truly a 10 day odyssey.
First a member of my Chicago Rotary Club wanted a house to rent in Northwest Indiana near another club member the last week in August, the week I’d be away – there was cash I needed.
Then my Chinese landlord gave me a Southwest Airline frequent flyer pass that was about to expire to fly from Chicago to Las Vegas with a three hour lay over before proceeding on to Portland Oregon. There I was to connect with my Reiki Master, spend the night and drive to the training the next morning. Well, no Reiki Master, so I waited for awhile and went to the rental car place and rented the reserved car and went to the hotel. Somehow our reservations were messed up and there was only one room with a king size bed, not 2 beds. Remember this was before everyone had cell phones. I had no idea what was happening with Reiki Master. We were to go to the training then travel across Oregon by car to see the Snake River and leave from Boise, Idaho.
We had a day to look around Portland and found an Oregon store. I bought Pendleton blankets. Good thing – there was no bedding in our 1930s cabins at Brietenbush Springs. You had to bring our pillow and sheets. I was so grateful for our communal hot spring fed showers. At break, I told Sandra what an adventure of mishaps and the two days it took to get to her training.
Sandra explained the more difficult and challenging the journey – the deeper the learning. The perseverance and allowing the Universe to intercede to get me to this Soul Retrieval Training made the class, the training all the more valuable. In addition there was the deep healing I personally received as we practiced what we learned on each other and the trees. Ceremony showed us more healing possibilities. I had magnificent Spiritual healings and learned Soul Retrieval and Restoration, which are invaluable in helping others heal themselves.
Almost 15 years later, March 2012, I experienced more incredible Spiritual healings and learning experiences divinely orchestrated by Creator and Christine Kloser at a retreat in the soft rolling hills of Maryland. On the opposite side of the country from Oregon. I had no idea why I was going except that I had paid for it and I’d get to meet my fellow Pebbles and Spirit told me to take my drums. I did not recognize that I was in for another life changing experience.
Getting there was another adventure that took one and one-half days to arrive at Pearlstone Retreat Center. On Saturday morning, March 3, 2012 I left my family in our only car. In Toledo I met Mary Dirksen; after lunch we headed to Pittsburgh to meet Dorit Sasson, who thankfully had arranged a room for us. It was cold and snowy with no heat in our third floor room. We slept in our socks, hoodies and sweats using bath towels and coats to keep warm. The bathroom was cold and for other rooms. No morning shower for us. We were running late because we didn’t want to get out from the warmth of our covers.
Remember the more challenging the journey – the deeper the healing and learning experience
After five hours driving we arrived, meeting new friends that we have known forever. It was a wonderful Soul reunion because Christine Kloser listened to Spirit’s guidance. Christine gathered all of the Pebbles in the Pond – Transforming the World One Person at A Time.
Miracles happened. On Sunday Night I found a black lump the size of an M&M peanut under my left arm. My Young Living Oils heal – it wasn’t a big deal. Our Monday session happened and more people arrived. Tuesday was an exercise to clear the last blockage preventing us from shining our Light 100%. In my group of four –I looked at three of the most incredible blue eyes that turned from grey-blue to royal blue when they were helping me clear the blockage above my heart from my brother, mother and sister’s ridicule, shame and embarrassment. As we did the clearing my heart turned into a golden candle holder with a candle from my heart to the base of my throat with the candle flame in my throat.
Every one released in this powerful exercise. To avoid the “rubber-band affect” Kimberly Burnham and I did a drum wash on every one. Glad I brought my drums. Tuesday afternoon I felt grey and exhausted, but stayed after dinner to watch Wayne Dyer in The Shift. Went to bed and slept soundly until 8:22 AM. I decided to take my time and enjoy the morning and the quiet. In the shower, I realized my lump was Gone! The emotional clearing healed the cancer lump under my left arm that was in a straight line from where the blockage had been.
Wednesday was lovely – I met Soul daughters Kym and Maeve, who recognized me and want to study with me. That evening around a camp fire on a Full Moon, Nadine and I did a Drum Circle – just one round. I thought it was a dud because everyone was so quiet. As I was leaving a woman from Oslo said I had initiated her with the drumming and she told me her story. Then many shared their experience.
On Thursday afternoon, Ms. Oslo requested a naming Ceremony. She stood in the middle of the room looking each person in the eye as they welcomed Simran Sofia Love. When she got to me I welcomed her with my left hand on my heart and my right hand extended saying “my heart to your heart” as she did the same.
Simran walked toward me saying “you birthed me” and I said “welcome my daughter” and we hugged. I took her to introduce her to the next two people. Maeve was last and I introduced her to her sister Maeve. Big family hug….
Then Simran collapsed shaking uncontrollably. I stepped into the fullness of my power as a Shaman and Healer to assist Simran. I called Nadine to help and Christine was there holding her head. People were gathering around and fear became palatable…Pebble Ellen Simon is a Medical Doctor so no ambulance was necessary, thank heaven. I asked Christine to clear the room so we could move her and lay her in the sun beams coming through the window. She needed sun, water and good nutrients provided by Marcello.
What Simran was experiencing was a Soul Exchange with the assistance of the Divine Masculine in the form of David Kloser, Ken Stone and Marcello Olivieri and the Sacred Feminine represented by Ann White (godmother), Rose GS (grandmother), Nadine Love (midwife) and me Marilee (Mother) the Facilitator. I watched Wenche leave her body and return to the Akashic Records. In the Hall of Records, she found the Records for Simran Sofia Love and brought them to her heart anchoring them in with specific symbols. After two and half hours Simran was here!
We tossed Pebbles in the Pond after Judy Guadalupe sang a birthing song. Then I sang:
We are the Old People
We are the New People
We are the Same People
Different than before…
During this same time Kym Chartrand, in a skirt, the Sacred Hoop was following Spirit by clearing the room with a Lightening Bolt. Then she went outside as guided to lay on the ground to receive four drums inside of her – two in her pelvis and two in her chest and another Lightening Bolt to wield, clearing a clear path around the building for Simran’s Soul to follow. I am so appreciative of all of the help we received, known and unknown, during this Soul Exchange.
The training I received 15 years ago and my experience since allowed me to know what to was happening, what to do and how to facilitate Simran’s Soul Exchange and my own transformation and miracles experienced during those five days in Maryland at the Transformational Authors Retreat with Christine Kloser.
Thank you everyone for your help and Prayers…
They are written within 24 hours of a New Moon. Surprisingly, you really don’t even need to believe that the check will work when you write it. You will however be amazed at the results, as you will see increased abundance in your life, in some area. It is not always financial, but certainly in an area where you need abundance.
There is a traditional manner, which has been handed down, that must be followed. If you do not have a checking account you can draw a check on a piece of paper and fill it out the same way–the results will be the same, more abundance for you.
1.) within 24 hours of a New Moon, take a check from your check book.
2.) Where it says “Pay to,” write your name.
3.) In the little box on the same line where you would fill in a dollar amount write “Paid in full.”
4.) On the line underneath your name, where you would write out a dollar amount, write “Paid in full.”
5.) Sign the check: “The Law of Abundance.”
6.) Do not put a date on the check.
7.) Do not write a specific dollar amount in the check.
8.) Put it in a safe place and forget about it.
Many people are skeptical about trying this until they do it. After the first time they realize the power of these checks and do them routinely every month! Try it yourself and see!

Yesterday was Historic in every sense of the word. Barack Hussein Obama, was Elected President of these United States of America.
At a multitude of levels the “fight” is over. The internal wars we wage with our Selves as we move forward in life… trying to do as we are told as children, and then finding our way releasing the guilt and shame.
Sometimes wanting the “impossible” because of the nature of our birth, wrong Ethnic Group, Wrong Gender, Wrong Religion, Wrong Race, Wrong Economic Class, and Wrong Education. Yet there is “NO WRONG”. Each individual has a particular Blessing and gift to bring to the World and “Now Is The Time”. This is the beginning of the New Paradigm – The “Shift” accelerated with this Presidential Election – A Middle class African- American man was elected President of the USA!
Just think how things have changed – There is “HOPE” where none existed before, especially for men of African-American linage.

What are the Attributes of Love?
What is the foundation of a LOVING CULTURE a LOVING SOCIETY?
In an advanced Akashic Record Class in 1999/2000 we were taught that the Attributes of Love are:
GRATITUDE
RESPECT
COMPASSION
PATIENCE
KINDNESS
GENEROSITY
The paradox is of course that we must practice these Attributes of Love on ourSelves first and foremost, which is not something our Culture teaches.
In further work on my own, I have added two attributes that I believe are the foundation for the rest of the Attributes, because when there is any kind of FEAR there is NO LOVE. The other two Attributes are:
TRUST
FORGIVENESS
I believe and know that if we do not or can not Trust ourSelves that it becomes very difficult to Trust others and be able to discern the difference.
What is TRUST?
New American Dictionary defines it as:
Middle English truste, perhaps from Old Norse traust, confidence; see deru- in Indo-European roots
OTHER FORMS:
trust’er (Noun)
SYNONYMS:
trust , faith , confidence , reliance , dependence, care, rely
These nouns denote a feeling of certainty that a person or thing will not fail. Trust implies depth and assurance of feeling that is often based on inconclusive evidence: The mayor vowed to justify the trust the electorate had placed in him. Faith connotes unquestioning, often emotionally charged belief: “Often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true” (William James). Confidence, frequently implies stronger grounds for assurance: “Confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged bosom: youth is the season of credulity” (William Pitt). Reliance connotes a confident and trustful commitment to another: “What reliance could they place on the protection of a prince so recently their enemy?” (William Hickling Prescott). Dependence suggests reliance on another to whom one is often subordinate: “When I had once called him in, I could not subsist without Dependence on him” (Richard Steele).
Our Business Law & Financial System is based on Trust and there are these definitions:

Ipupiara Makunaiman (Dr. Bernardo D. Peixoto) was a Teacher and Father to many and especially to his tribe in Brazil and his tribe of students in North America and around the world.
He is a shining light, who left Earth on May 16, 2011. He will return to help us all. Let us rejoice in his wisdom, guidance and Love…
Ipupiara and his wife were our house guests on two occasions for our Community Healing Waters Events just after September 11, 2001 and a year later. How he loved Lake Michigan with its crystal sand – fresh water wider than the Amazon. He was such a good Healer, Teacher, Mentor and Friend to many including me, my husband and our community here in Northwest Indiana. He came to the USA to teach living from the heart in Love with everything, especially the Earth.
Ipupiara was an Anthropologist, who worked at the Smithsonian when we met him in 1999. He was a dedicated Environmentalist, Healer and Teacher from the Ure-ewau-wau (People of the Stars) tribe of Brazil, the last shaman of his people (only 30 members of this tribe are still alive on Earth).
Dr. Peixoto was a co-founder of Dream Change Coalition with John Perkins,
The Native Cultural Alliance and Eco Global Journey organizations which are dedicate to the preservation and sharing of native cultures and wisdom.
What Ipupiara taught me gave me the ability to share Ancient Wisdom relevant for everyone on Earth.
With deep sadness I want to share with you the passing, this Monday, of my brother, mentor and friend Ipupiara Makunaiman (Dr. Bernardo D. Peixoto). Anthropologist, Environmentalist, Healer and Teacher. Ipupiara was from the Ure-ewau-wau (People of the Stars) tribe of Brazil, the last shaman left (only 30 people still alive of this tribe). He was a co-founder of Dream Change, The Native Cultural Alliance and Eco Global Journey organizations which are dedicate to the preservation and sharing of native cultures and wisdom. He has worked for many years with the tribal and \“riverine\” groups in South America. He’s now joined his brothers and sisters, the star people.”
This blog is not complete with out a dedication to Ipu’s wife Cleicha.
Cleicha laughed heartily at John and me and said: “Marilee, the wife is always the second Mother; it is your job to teach him.” Think about that little nugget of Wisdom. The Time Is Now!
Every Being (be it human, animal, tree, rock, places or businesses) has a Soul and an Akashic Record. “AKASHA” is a Sanskrit word meaning Primordial Substance – That from which All Creation comes. The Akasha is also the Primordial Substance/Source of ALL KNOWLEDGE infused with Divine Love. Divine Love is the Vibration of Sound & Light.
This class is about DISCERNING these different vibrations – Eyes Wide Open.
Rather than entering an Altered State of Consciousness by going to Non-Ordinary Reality To the Beat of the Drum or Receiving Intuitive Information – We become the Detached Observer Discerning the Various Vibrations.
We will be accessing the Akashic Records – Not channeling or Journeying to Specific Beings/Entities.
You will further learn to Discern the differences between your intuition, your guides and Your Soul’s Guidance. You will experience Your Authentic Self as it unfolds.
The Records show the “why” of things in your life, reveal patterns that no longer serve you, how to heal your Self, your Relationships, and how to clear your Karma. The Akashic Records represent the “Knowledge of All Things”. By being in Integrity with our Soul, we find Freedom, Joy, Peace & Serenity. The information & guidance from the Records is always for the Highest & Best Good of All that Is.
Working in the Records is a Discipline, based on the word “Disciple”. So as Humans – when accessing the Records we are Manifesting Our Own Divine Love by Merging Consciously with the God Source. This Energy of the Akasha equally represents the Balance of Both Energies God/Goddess for that is the reflection that we are going to observe. DIVINE LOVE IS WHOLE.
The Akashic Records hold the information of ALL THAT IS and within this body of Loving Knowledge the Unique Vibration of Your Soul Exists through All Time & Space. Each one of us has our own unique vibration, which we can refine, raise or lower depending on the choices we make. We will, through Discernment, bring this vibration of Love forward through Sacred Prayer. You will learn to access the Akasha, discerning the various vibrations and receive your Personal Prayer for accessing the Akashic Records based on Your Unique Vibration and How Your are Known in the Universe.
Your unique vibration is the Library Card that allows access to the Akashic Records. Receive your Akashic Record Attunement & Prayer by using the Teaching Prayer provided by the Records for the Class. Through the Records we can shift the Energy in our lives by the use of our intentions, words and actions. The integrity of the Records is Always maintained. As we refine our subtle vibrations we gain further access to the information of the Akasha. We are only given what we can handle.
You Experience and Re-Member Who You Really Are by Learning to Read Your Akashic Records. Working in Your Records allows You to Experience Being Accepted, Heard & Loved Unconditionally.
How can Mother Father God do anything else but Love, Accept, Hear & Respond to Their Precious Child – You?
Journeying is going out to SEEK. Actually Journeying & Receiving are the perfect balance for being Known in the Universe:
RECEIVING = FEMININE
JOURNEYING = MASCULINE
Both require TRUST. Trust in Your Ability to Receive & Seek as well as Trust in the information and guidance. Trust in Your Self as a worthy Seeker whether journeying or receiving. You are seeking to expand your awareness of All That Is, thereby raising your vibration.
As you raise Your Vibration Your Prayer will change. It is the process of Bringing Heaven to Earth, As Above – So Below.

Akashic Record reading and Shamanic Journeys are the perfect combination of the Divine Feminine and Masculine. It is the dancing of the yin and yang within us – activating the Quantum possibilities from Creator. Receiving the Akashic Record Information is Feminine and Shamanic Journeys where we travel to find the answers to our questions is Masculine.
Reading the Akashic Records is receiving the Light infused with knowledge, wisdom and guidance from the Heart Center of the Creator!!!!
Shamans & Indigenous story tellers hold the Records of the Earth in their oral traditions. Yet we too hold the legends of the Earth in our bones. The stones & bones hold knowledge of all things. Our bodies are of the Earth, therefore the minerals have information. So the deeper we go into ourselves the farther out we can go to receive information. Shamanism & drumming goes back to 30,000BCE when the women were the drummers.
Shamans access information by traveling out of their bodies to the beat of a frame drum. Their Soul travels on the Sound Wave to access Non- Ordinary Reality (other worlds & dimensions) where we can talk to the plants, animals and microbes or to the Stars. The Mayans became the best Timekeepers by traveling to Space.
We go deep to the beat of the drum to seek answers for ourselves, our families, our friends and our communities. When we Journey, we follow the ancient traditions of All the indigenous people of the Earth as we travel between the Worlds or through the veils of the dimensions of Chakra system and beyond.
Originally the Women used frame drums for ceremonies and healing rituals for their families and Community. The single-headed drum is used around the globe to reach altered states of consciousness; to access the Beings of the Earth and the Universe who are waiting to guide & help for us. We must ask before they can help us.
In the Shamanic Cultures of South America and in Core Shamanism as brought forth by Michael Harner, there are three Worlds:
LOWER WORLD – Where we go for Health & Healing
MIDDLE WORLD – The Middle World is where we live.
UPPER WORLD – The Upper World is where we go to visit with our Guides
The Drum represents the feminine womb & combined with the masculine beater stick, creates anew by allowing us to find the answers to our questions. When we set our Intention with our questions, powerful allies show up with the answers to guide us and help us.
We go deep within to the beat of the drum to seek answers for ourselves. We follow the methods of the ancient traditions of the indigenous people of the Earth. The Drum represents the womb & combined with the masculine beater stick, we create anew. The original drummers were women from the inception of the drums in 25,000 BCE. The Women used single headed drums for ceremonies for their family and Community. The single-headed drum is used around the globe to reach altered states of consciousness; to access the Beings of the Earth and the Universe who are waiting to guide & help for us. We must ask before they can help us. At the Full Moon we drum and chat expanding our support community.
The Moon Cycle is the Earth Calendar which also includes the four seasonal changes and their midpoints. The Moon is the Feminine Energy that controls the Waters of Earth and the cycles and fluid flow in all mammals.
She starts her cycle of the New Moon – the dark moon. This is when we ask for what we want to make manifest, planting our seeds of new personal growth and healing. The Full Moon is the sun of the night when we begin to harvest what we ask for. It takes 21 days for the human body to make physical changes.
There are 13 New Moons and Full Moons per year with two Solstices, Winter (December 21) and Summer (June 21); two Equinoxes, Spring (March 20) and Fall (September 23).
All are days of celebration & drumming with the mid-points in between each Season.
These are mid-points are just as important for Ceremony and Ritual as we honor the Ancient traditions. The mid-points are:
These are the eight points/directions of the mariners cross – two equilateral crosses over each other with one at a 45 degree angle between the Seasons.
Each Season represents an element and a direction. Red Spring is Air & East; Yellow Summer is Fire & South; Black Autumn is Water & West; White Winter is Earth & North. Each direction is on the Medicine Wheel; Colors are Mayan and for the Woodland Nations of North America. <
Today is the most masculine day of the year when the outward manifestation is at its fullest. The inner contemplation is at its lowest point. The energy everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere is for doing – for action to manifest for the coming seasons.
This is an Ancient time of Celebration. We celebrate the outward happiness in the fullness of life. We celebrate the warmth and all of our “stuff” – our worldly belongings.
Use this day to recognize the divinity in our blessings of food, shelter family and friends and our connection with everyone and all living beings.
This is the day that the sun moves from the Air twins of Gemini to the Water babies of Cancer. The feminine Water balancing the Fire of the sun…All a part of the cycle of life, the Earth’s Calendar…
Join us in Spirit as we celebrate the Wedding of our friends!
