How to Utilize the Sirian Energies During the Sirian Alignment

July 5, 2017 Aspen Rain 3 Comments

On July 3 – July 7, the Sirian Alignment will occur. Sirius will appear to be located behind the Sun and will therefore appear to rise and set in conjunction with the Sun. Sirian energies will compound with the energies of the Sun and inundate the Earth with Sirian energies.

This direct or conjunct Sirian alignment occurs on July 3 – July 7. The opposite Sirian alignment occurs when the Sun and Sirius appear to be located on opposite sides of the Earth. This opposite alignment occurs on January 3 – January 7.

Sun Conjunct Sirius on July 3 – July 7

During the conjunct alignment with Sirius, the Earth will be inundated with Sirian energies. Sirian energies are associated with healing, birth (and rebirth), rejuvenation, magic and nature. During this time, the energetic flow on Earth is conducive with spiritual rebirth and healing. If January is the physical new year, July is the spiritual new year. In January, we typically try to let go of habits that no longer serve us in the physical world and try to pick up healthier habits. During the Sirian alignment in July, we should try to let go of habits that no longer serve us spiritually and try to adapt healthier spiritual habits. The energies at this time will support spiritual healing required to change the behavioral patterns that are holding you back from spiritual ascension.

Although the Sirian alignment occurs during the first week in July, the Sirian energies stick around on Earth through out all of July and part of August – hence ‘the dog days of summer’. In June, Sirius begins it’s journey behind the Sun and is only visible in the night sky after sunset. On July 3rd, Sirius moves behind the Sun and is no longer visible in the night sky. Sirius will not emerge from behind the Sun until August. During the second week in August, Sirius emerges and is visible again just before the Sun rises. The Lion’s Gate occurs when Sirius has emerged from behind the Sun and returns to the night sky – this is the Rising of Sirius.

The Rejuvenating Effects of Sirius

In 2017, a common theme has been a purging of past karma and resulting behavioral patterns that no longer serve our best purpose. It’s been rather turbulent and painful at times – change is usually like that. This year’s Sirian Alignment will definitely focus on healing the wounds from this purging process, so that we may emerge spiritually rejuvenated. Those that are able to successfully heal will find that they will feel a noticeable increase in consciousness and frequency. This healing will begin in July and continue until commencement or ‘graduation’ on August 8-11, also known as the Lions Gate. The Lions Gate is essentially the period of time where the integration of Sirian energies is completed.

The Sirian Alignment can be used to let go and heal from energetic patterns that prevent you from attaining your spiritual goals. This is a time where you can consciously increase your spiritual connections, your psychic abilities, your innate frequency, your connection with spirit guides etc. Most of you will probably understand that increasing the strength of your spiritual connections with the Creator (or Source) Energy will help you move closer to your authentic self and your true purpose.

For the conjunct Sirian Alignment in July, it is recommended that anyone looking to infuse themselves with Sirian energy or receive Sirian downloads meditate outside with the Sun beating down on their Third Eye or Crown Chakra. You can also charge crystals, water or other objects with Sirian energy by leaving them out in the sun.

Sirian Starseeds with well integrated Sirian energy will find that their business ventures and spiritual ventures will recieve a boost at this time. There is the possibility for these starseeds to jump to a timeline with a higher vibration.

Sun Opposite Sirius Alignment in January

This Sun opposite Sirius alignment occurs in January and results in Sirius appearing to be on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. During this time, Sirius is visible in the night sky in the northern hemisphere.

People wishing to utilize these Sirian energies in January can do night time meditations outside under the starlight. Try to position yourself so that Sirius is directly over head or so that you are facing it.

This Sun opposite Sirius alignment will be particularly beneficial to those Sirian starseeds that have unintegrated Sirian energy. People born under the Sirian opposite Sun alignment will likely have some unintegrated Sirian energy. Unintegrated Sirian energies tend to manifest as difficulties in creating spiritual or psychic connections, difficulties with meditation, difficulties with conscious manifestation (Law of Attraction) and general difficulties with spiritual ascension. Sirian starseeds with unintegrated Sirian energies are likely to have a weak spiritual sovereignty – meaning that they are more likely to seek outside validation of spiritual beliefs. These people tend to feel like they are not intuitive and need to access the skills of other intuitives in order to receive spiritual downloads.

Starseeds with unintegrated Sirian energy would do well to meditate outside under the Sirian starlight in January. Recognize the blockages you have regarding your spirituality and then ask Sirius and to help you release them. In January, the Sun is on the opposite side of Earth from Sirius – this is a very polarizing or pulling energy. Visualize Sirius pulling the blockage out of you.

Orion, Starseed Origins Guide

Connect with Orion During the Orion Alignment

June 9, 2017 Aspen Rain Leave a comment

From June 7th until June 20th the Sun and the Earth will all be in perfect alignment with Orion. This alignment occurs when Orion is conjunct with the Sun. From December 7 until December 20th, Orion is opposite the Sun. Both of these astrological alignments can be used to connect with Orion.

The Orion Alignment occurs twice a year when the Sun and the Earth line up with the Orion constellation. The conjunct alignment occurs when Orion appears to be located behind the Sun from Earth’s relative position. This alignment occurs in June and is the Sun Conjunct Orion Alignment.

The second alignment occurs from December 7th until December 20th. This is the Sun Opposite Orion Alignment and this occurs when Orion appears to be on the opposite side of the Sun, relative to the Earth’s position.

Sun Conjunct Orion Alignment – June 7 – June 20

During the Orion alignment, Orion energies are felt very strongly on Earth as the energies are compounded with the energies of the Sun. During this time, Orion energies permeate almost everything on Earth. It’s a good time to initiate new endevours and do the physical work required to manifest your goals.

Orion energies tend to be invigorating and motivating and often provide the inspiration and determination to intiate projects and see them through to the end. This alignment is also analagous to the New Moon, and thus planting the seeds of intention at this point will be extremely helpful. These Orion energies will be especially helpful when trying to achieve goals that are rooted in the 3D physical realm – like material wealth, survival and reproduction.

Orion starseeds may enjoy spiritual downloads, upgrades and other forms of communication with Orion. During the direct or conjunct Orion alignment that occurs in June, starseeds that wish to receive these Orion energies are recommended to meditate outside with the Sun beating down on their Crown or Third Eye Chakras. Starseeds may also charge water, crystals and other items in the sunlight to charge these objects with Orion energy.

This Orion alignment occurs in December and results in Orion appearing to be on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun. During this time, Orion is visible in the night sky in the northern hemisphere.

People wishing to utilize these Orion energies in December can do night time meditations outside under the starlight. Try to position yourself so that the Orion constellation is directing over head or so that you are facing it.

This Orion opposite Sun alignment will be particularly beneficial to those Orion starseeds that have unintegrated Orion energy. People born under the Orion opposite Sun alignment will likely have some unintegrated Orion energy. Unintegrated Orion energies tend to manifest as difficulties in achieving material wealth, being inspired and maintaining motivation. Orion starseeds with unintegrated Orion energies are likely to have a weak will power and are likely to have some solar plexis issues. However, this energy can be integrated during this time as well.

Native Spirituality, Synchronicity

Recognizing the Synchronicities and Developing Your Inner Compass

May 30, 2017 Aspen Rain Leave a comment

Recognizing the synchronicities of the universe is often the first step to discovering and mastering your internal compass. Growing up Native American I was taught to look for signs or messages and to pay attention to dreams and intuitions. As a young child I was already recognizing the synchronicities of the universe to find direction and meaning in my life. Some people may know this practice as a Vision Quest.

A Vision Quest is essentially when someone enters the wilderness in isolation, in order to gain insight regarding their purpose in this lifetime. Entering the wilderness in isolation is an important aspect because it decreases the effect of co-creation. When a person is isolated they alone, are creating their immediate environment. This allows for their immediate environment to respond only to their energies. The environment will be free to produce synchronicities that reflect on the individual. When the individual recognizes these synchronicities as messages, the messages can provide the guidance the individual was seeking in first place.

In isolation free from co-creation, the environment will be free to produce synchronicities that reflect on the individual.

This practice is not only for youth and it doesn’t occur just once in a lifetime. The first Vision Quest is a big event because it’s when we learn to use synchronicities as an internal compass but afterwards, they can become a daily occurrence.

Native Americans believe that certain animals are messengers from the Creator and when one of these animals is witnessed during a Vision Quest, it means they have an important message. The individual will observe the message and then interpret it. Messages can come from elemental spirits, our ancestors or our spirit guides. Interpreting the message requires the use of one’s intuition and so it is necessary that one learns how to discern their Ego from their intuition. This is often the tricky part. Many people believe that only certain gifted people are psychics or intuitives but this is not true – everyone is an intuitive. Most of us have learned to question or even completely disregard our intuition. It is understood in Native American culture, that everyone possesses valuable intuitive gifts.

Everyone possess valuable intuitive gifts

The practice of recognizing the synchronicities and interpreting the message gets easier with practice. The benefit of a Vision Quest is that you can learn the difference between your intuition and your Ego relatively quickly. During a Vision Quest it is customary that the individual has been fasting for several days and thus the Ego is mostly dissolved in this state. Other methods may be use to dissolve the Ego such as trance (as done in the Sun Dance), the use of entheogens, meditative practice, etc. Despite all these methods, I found the best way to recognize one’s intuition is, to use it.

Messages can come from elemental spirits, our ancestors or our spirit guides.

When we are trying to interpret a synchronicity, we should look for any significant features that symbolize something in your life and then try to relate your observation to your current situation. For example, whenever I see a hummingbird I pay attention to it because to me, it symbolizes my grandmother whose spirit name was ‘Hummingbird’. The hummingbird may flit about playfully as if to say “Hi! I love you!” or fly back and forth dramatically as if it is trying to desperately get my attention. These things mean something! By examining my current state of mind, my thoughts at that moment or the current state of my life, the message can be received and then interpreted. Another example is the bald eagle – indigenous people believe that the bald eagle is the messenger of the Creator. If we see a bald eagle soaring free in sky, that is likely a positive sign however, if you see a bald eagle eating garbage, that might be a sign that you need to take care of your health.

Recognizing the synchronicities and using your intuition to interpret them can be done by anyone, anywhere. It can be harder to learn how to do this when you are in a co-creating state (ie near other people) but you are in no way at a disadvantage. People that learn to recognize synchronicities in a traditional Vision Quest, will still have to learn how to do so in everyday type of situations with other people present.

Once we learn to recognize the synchronicities and trust our intuition, Vision Quests can be performed in the middle of a busy city with thousands of people around you with little effort. In fact, to people outside of the Native American culture, these daily mini-quests would look a lot like meditating (with the exception that Natives tend to leave an offering and/or have a smudge).

The following exercise is intended for those wishing to learn more about recognizing the synchronicities in your daily life. If you are interested in learning how to recognize the synchronicities and interpret the messages, you can practice using this exercise:

1. Find a quiet spot. Outdoors is preferred but not necessary. Sit comfortably and give thanks to everything you see around. Be grateful for its presence. Breathe deeply. Focus on the beauty around you. Enjoy the colours, the sounds of the environment, the smells and the textures.

2. Do not EXPECT anything. Go into this exercise with absolutely no expectations. If nothing happens, that’s okay. Just keep practicing.

3. Set your intention. In gratitude, offer traditional tobacco to the Earth if you wish. You may also burn the tobacco or a smudge stick.

4. Sit in silence, focus your thoughts on your surroundings and allow your mind to wander between those thoughts. Keep your mind focused on the environment around you but keep your wandering thoughts on the environment surrounding you. Think about the colour of the sky, the smell of the breeze or the cool dirt on your feet.

5. Recognizing the synchronicities. When a sign arises, identify it and then mentally analyse what you saw. It may take a few days to fully understand the message. If nothing stands out to you as synchronous, try again the following day.

Being open to recognizing the synchronicities, receiving the message and having the self awareness to interpret them will help you find your own internal compass. Recognizing the synchronicities is the first step, the second step is learning to trust your intuition enough to interpret the message.
