Changel: An Asterism* referring to any vehicle of energetic or spiritual adjustment. For instance, a long walk in the woods is one of my changels.
*Asterism: A name given by my friends to the particular way I look at things and the names I give things.
8:08 p.m. It’s so great to have music to get you through the day; to celebrate, to move some energy, to express or release emotion. Singing, humming, listening with appreciation, moving to the rhythms – anyone can enjoy this.
I have some rhythm instruments around because I love to pick them up and just explore their sounds and the rhythms that want to come out - usually awkward, hicuppy beats until I open to allowing the energy to flow through me, then take on its own wave of motion and sound. Sometimes I’ll try playing along with an Amir Ya'acoby cd (one of the best trance percussionist in Israel)…. I’d be humiliated if any human witnessed my bloodless slaying of the beat – however, in my imagination I’m flying like Amir and I’m so cool! (He did show me how to play the clay pot, but I'm a rank beginner!)

MidSummer New Energy Conference 2009
When I was going through the roughest first waves of the awakening journey, I spent a lot of time in the mountains, and forests and walking trails in southwest B.C. There I would vent, to the pure clean energy of the old forests, all that had built up inside me.
I would scream and cry and yell, and stomp the earth until I was hoarse and exhausted. I remember it felt so good to go home and sleep after those episodes. It may sound extreme and dramatic, but before going crazy and doing something to harm yourself or another, before taking a pill to suppress whatever is erupting inside you, before diving head first into the drama saying or doing something you’ll regret, go throw some rocks into the river and scream! Mother Nature understands.
I would ask my surroundings to support me in my release, and bless the nature spirits afterwards. I had a lot of layers to peel off and anger to release in those days.
Working with Hannibal Means in Kelowna was an absolute treat. You may know Hannibal if you watched "America’s Got Talent" this past year. He made it to the semi-finals, which was to air right after our Kelowna Mystery School event. Hannibal is an amazing teacher. It’s fascinating to watch how quickly he can coach someone from ‘non singer’ to belting out a song full voice. The energy and power that people experience is written all over their face.

What you may not know is that he traces the beginning of his amazing journey to his experiences of the Sexual Energies School taught by Shaumbra teachers around the world (and here in B.C. too!). He has said after taking the school he decided to just say "YES!" to life! And he ends up on "The Tonight Show". He is one-of-a-kind and fun to imitate – he’s so outrageous it makes it so easy for you to go for it too – free your voice!
We were doing this energy exercise and I can still hear his booming voice deeply intoning, “I COOMMMAND YOU TO SEEEERRRRVE MEEE!” to a glass of water, while we all did the same, trying to match his ability and fill the room with our voice. Ok, and then there are his crocheted animal hats - suffice to say we laughed a lot! I'll have to borrow some pictures from Joep and post them here.
Truly, the use of the voice and releasing energy through the voice was one of the most important aspects of the school for me.
Commanding water to serve you. Hey, why not?
So this brings me to my muse about the voice and using it to create change in your life. Everyone’s voice is unique and I imagine it’s unique in the universe – that the angels know your voice.

So whether you are using it to command energy to serve you, or you are singing at the top of your lungs, or you are screaming gibberish to release energy – the voice is a fantastic tool for change in the new energy.
Let it be one of your Changels.
