This past weekend I
had the opportunity to drive over to SE Utah with some friends to do a botany
field trip.
We were looking at a very
unusual plant that is only located on the Cedar Mesa formation.
It's common name is Mountain Lilac.

The route took us directly west of Cortez,
and through the sleepy town of Bluff, Utah.
The 2.5 hour drive culminated in
a steep switchback road up the side of the mesa, past a place called Moki
Dugway to a lookout called Muley Point. Since
we had climbed up over 1000 feet, the views that we experienced when we got out
of the car were breathtaking to say the least!
This brings me to Tom
Kenyon.
He is a sound healer who not
only sends out the occasional newsletter, but also offers a free mp3 sound
track to go with each newsletter’s recommended meditation exercise.
As time has gone on, his communications have gotten fewer and farther between,
but the last several have been extremely significant and “meaty” in content.
I am specifically referring to the 11/12/17
e-mail entitled “Spatial Cognizance” and the most recent one from 4/3/18 entitled
“The Multiverse Sound Meditation”.
Both the newsletters and the free accompanying
mp3 sound meditation downloads can be gotten at
www.tomkenyon.com/hathors-archives.
In these articles,
Tom is teaching a meditation method by which we can connect to our spatial
cognizance, expand that awareness, and thus become aware of who we are on a
grand scale as a part of the multiverse. This may serve to be our salvation as
we traverse further into the chaos that our world is experiencing.
The process involves generating the feelings of
gratitude and appreciation, then traveling to or imaging that you are in a very large space, and generating the feeling that you are in that space.
The process
goes on from there with the support of Tom’s amazing sound tracks.
My explanation can't do it justice, so check it out for yourself.
Getting back to the
weekend trip, upon getting to the top of Cedar Mesa, we could see for many miles
out from our location, including Navajo Mountain and Monument Valley to the
west, all of the mountains in the northeast corner of Arizona, and our local
mountains in SW Colorado. It was pretty
exciting, even more so than the rare plant that we had come to find! So when I do the Multiverse Sound Meditation,
I frequently picture myself and also feel with gratitude and appreciation that I
am in one of these great local spots where I can see for miles and miles. Then I
expand my consciousness into that space and then out as far out as I can, and eventually out
into the multiverse. At that point, I do
my best to totally embody that feeling and hang onto it. Of course, this is an encapsulated version of
what Tom has written, so again, I recommend that you read his articles and try
it for yourself.
Here are some of the photos from our amazing trip to Cedar Mesa.
