The Golden Thread

BY LEANNE, THE BAREFOOT MEDIUM As I sit here with Spirit to bring through wisdom and insights for you around the word connection, I am drawn to share with you guidance about what is known as “The Golden Thread”, it’s significance to fate, manifesting, twin flames and the spiritual beliefs and traditions of the indigenous Kogi people who live deep in Colombia’s Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains.

Let’s start with the Kogi (KOH-gee), which means Jaguar in their traditional language, are an ethnic community that has lived in the Sierra Nevada in Santa Marta, Colombia (known as the Heart of the World) since the PreColumbian era – before Christopher Columbus’s voyages in 1492 and the appearance of European influences in the Americas. To this day, the indigenous Kogi people still practice and remain true to the ancient traditions, laws, spiritual beliefs of their ancestors of the past as the ‘Guardians of the Earth’. In following these traditions, the Kogi have an empathic relationship and connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth) – which they fear we (humans) are destroying believe that it is their role and responsibility to care for and

protect her as she is the spiritual core of all existence and the force of all creation, Aluna, thought, soul and imagination.

The Mamos (Kogi priests or Shaman) in particular, believe that it is their responsibility to maintain the equilibrium (balance) of life for their sacred mountain, which is a living entity in the shape of a pyramid, energetically is the crown chakra of the Andes and the entire world. The indigenous people believe that what is important, what is of ultimate value, is not what is measured and seen in the physical world but what exists in the many realms of meaning and connection that lie beneath the tangible realities of this world, linking and connecting all things as one. For this purpose, they carry out deep meditation, conduct rituals, give offerings and prayers as well as sing songs to Aluna (The Mirror World) which are then carried along a network of inter-connected sacred sites throughout the world and linked by a golden thread. So essentially, the Kogi believe in what we today would refer to as the Law of Attraction or manifesting, as what happens in Aluna happens to Pachamama and in the physical world sooner or later, therefore it is important to go to the spiritual realms any perform

healing, transformation, shifts and create as when these things happen above the are mirrored back and manifest here on the Earth. I love that this belief in a magical dimension that you can connect into and visualise and begin creating and manifesting has existed and has been actively practiced by our ancestors for centuries.

When talking about creation and manifesting, there is certainly a link to these ancient traditions through what is also referred to as The Golden Thread which brings with it the vibration of truth, inspiration, intuition and grace. It is through this magical thread that fate is said to eventually weave throughout your life to create the opportunities, experiences and connections to people and places that you need to fulfill your soul’s purpose and walk your highest most loving path in this lifetime. As you walk your spiritual path (you all have one whether you are conscious of it or not), the golden colour brings with it a reminder to remain flexible, to see the perfection in all things, to allow the Sun to illuminate and energise the Soul with it’s radiance and that allows you to embrace your inner truth and wisdom with clarity throughout eternity. You can essentially see the golden threads like a spider’s web with yourself at the

as the creator of your own reality, weaving threads of inspiration and connecting you to all people, situations and experiences through your thoughts, emotions and actions. So, the question really is about whether you are consciously aware of what you are weaving and whether your threads are being cast from a space of truth, love and inspiration that allows you to walk your path and to stay focused on your purpose so you are connected with the most loving, truthful and joyful relationships, experiences and opportunities along the way through your Golden Thread.

Finally, when it comes to what is referred to as Twin Flames, that is your ultimate soul mate and mirror who’s reflects back to you all that you like about yourself as well as all that is within that needs healing, shifting, transforming and/or changing so that you learn, grow and expand into more of your authentic loving self. The Twin Flame connection is very powerful, with each person experiencing a strong magnetic pull towards the other that can be physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually intense. Twin Flames are always connected spiritually, even if they are not together in the physical, through The Golden Thread of Light which is anchored into their hearts to support them in being drawn together, re-uniting in the physical and coming helping each other in their spiritual growth and development so they can both help others on a larger scale, Universally, in whatever way feels right for them. This golden thread allows each Twin to be able to connect with each other through meditation or to call and communicate telepathically.

Each partner in the Twin Flame pair can feel the others heart and hear what it is that they are thinking, no matter if they are in each other’s lives every day or on the opposite side of the world by connecting in with this thread. It is through this magical connection that love is ignited that is so huge, that as it is sparked and released from each person it heals all it touches, helping the Earth become a better more joyful place and conquering the darkness of negativity and fear-based consciousness so that it transforms back into love. As Twin Flames connect further and begin reuniting coming into union, they become more and more conscious of their magical bond through the Golden Thread which supports them to stay open to all possibilities of creation so that they can together teach others to create something beautiful and that uplifts the consciousness of the planet and all around them.

So, as you can see, there is a significant connection between what we often refer to as fate, the power of creation, manifesting, love, consciousness, Pachamama and the laws, beliefs and practices of our ancestors who have come before us. I ask you to take the time to connect in with your Golden Thread and become more conscious of what it is that you are creating and mirroring back into the physical world so that you too can be a part of uplifting the consciousness of our planet as we are after all, all connected!

We Are All Connected

BY MEAGAN LEIGH COHN It’s been said throughout history that “we are all one”, “we are all connected”.

For many people this is an abstract concept they have no direct experience with. So, what does it mean to say we are all one? It means that we are all one consciousness, experiencing itself through different perspectives and in different forms.

connectedness, around 2011 that was brought on during a Kahuna massage. I feel my years of meditation practice prior to this, helped provide the platform for this to occur. It is difficult to describe but the short version of the story goes like this...I was taking some deep breaths during the massage and all of a sudden I had a sensation that I was Many have experienced this not separate from my breath. It was connection without realising it. Have as though something was “breathing you ever been thinking about me” but that something was not someone, then the phone rings and separate from me either. I was it and it’s them!? A scientific study it was me. Then BOOM- my individual conducted by Rupert Sheldrake found sense of self dissolved and I had a that over 90% of people have had this visceral and profound experience of experience. oneness, of being connected to absolutely everything. I felt profound Have you ever just known beyond bliss and indescribable joy. I saw the rational thought, something was absolute divine perfection in every going wrong with a family member or person, plant, thing and experience friend? Have you ever known you that ever was, is and will be. Even my were being watched before you darkest challenges were seen as detected the watcher? Have you ever blessings. walked into a room and picked up on distinct tension before anyone even The word happiness doesn’t come said a word? These are simple close to describing the ecstasy of that examples of our interconnectedness. moment. Tears flowed down my cheeks and I was laughing and crying I had a direct experience of all at once. It was a life changing

experience. Since then, I have found many scientists, philosophers and spiritual teachers who have helped me understand what happened that day.

In Hinduism, Buddhism and yogic schools this experience is called Samadhi. The experience can arise for people spontaneously but often through pranayama, meditation or when in nature.

IONS founded by Edgar Mitchell has done many scientific studies exploring this interconnectedness. Nassim Haramein, founder of the resonance project has dedicated his life to studying the nature of reality and was involved with the recent documentary “The Connected Universe”. Michael Talbot wrote “The Holographic Universe” based on research of David Bohm & Karl Pribram. Heart Math Institute has done scientifically valid studies to demonstrate this interconnectedness. Albert Einstein said that our sense of separateness is a delusion. Alan Watts said it is a dangerous delusion because once you see yourself as separate from others, or the earth, you can engage in actions that benefit you but harm the other. When we break free of this disconnected perception, we can no longer do that.

If you’ve not heard of some of these people, look them up and enjoy the interesting information you find! For now, breathe, meditate, be still and enjoy your intrinsic connected nature to all things.

Energetic Connection BYÂ LAUREN SIETZEMA

There are different levels and perceptions of connection, to the soul, to other people, to nature, and connection to the universe itself as well as our everlasting existence.

At the very core of our being we are energy, the same energy that makes up the entirety of the universe and that within it. This is the origin of our soul and fuels our individual consciousness and ability to manifest physically. This theory is present in many cultures where they believe that everything comes from the same place known as source, God, Spirit or the collective knowing. It is where all that is, resides. Existing outside of what we perceivably call time and space where everything can be accessed.

If we are indeed made from the same substance that all things derive, then what we see, feel, hear and know in

this life is a physical manifestation of that energy. This would mean that rocks, plants and animals, in fact everything living or not is energetically a facet of the original source. This is a difficult concept to wrap your head around. A big belief that humans have is that we are more important than the things around us‌ how can a rock be the same as me? You can see the ramifications of knowing this because it would mean everything we do or say to others, is in part being done to ourselves. This is aligned with a lot of spiritual beliefs about karma and the balance of energy; positivity begets positivity.

Which brings me to my next point: once we understand that we are energetic beings directly connected to everything around us, we can then see the power we have energetically over everyone and everything we

interact with.

What an amazing power this is! One that can be used for incredible love or In essence we are a physical body hate. If our energetic body is capable operated by an energetic body or soul of manifesting physical things than it that is connected to all energy in would go without saying that what existence, which as I said operates you put out into the world creates outside of space and time. This means your reality. everything we feel, think, do and say has an impact upon our selves and all So ask yourself, what kind of reality that surrounds us even without direct are you creating? What thoughts, physical interaction. Everyone is aware words and actions are you sending of the phenomenon of how the into the world? Do you spend most of emotional state of another person can your time energetically dwelling on effect our own, or to receive a phone pain, anger and fear, or do you focus call from the person you were just on love, respect and growth? thinking about. It even explains how even though a person has passed, we Whatever reality you may want for are still able to interact with them on yourself, know that you have the an energetic level. power to create it!

The Great Connection
