2014 Throat Chakra Venus Morning Star Tele-class with Cayelin and Tami transcribed by Elizabeth Yoes

April 17, 2014 Morning Star Venus Tele-Class with Cayelin Castell & Tami Brunk

5th Chakra Gate

Cayelin: Welcome everyone! This is the third class and the 3rd Gate/ 5th Chakra for all you Venus sojourners

who are joining Tami and I in this amazing journey with Venus. We’re so glad you’re with us and we’re so

appreciative of how everybody’s been showing up and participating. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, thank-

you!!!!

Tami: Thank-you, it’s been amazing!

Cayelin: This has been so great. Tami and I are here together here in Tucson, we’re so excited. Tami came from

Albuquerque to join in a little event that we experienced with the Total Lunar Eclipse on Monday night and a

presentation that was given by Brett, Gemini Brett, who is in our group.

He did a fabulous job and it was great to be able to be with a group of people for that event. And I just have to

admit for myself that I am so completely altered ever since the eclipse. We saw Mars right above the Moon,

we saw Spica right next to the Moon and I am not the same! I’m getting used to a whole new way of being—

and I don’t know about you Tami…?

Tami: I’ve been traveling, in and out of places for the last few days so getting grounded has been interesting.

But it’s definitely felt like we are in this kind of magical portal. There’s a lot that wanting to come in, and much

that came through on the hike Cayelin and I took, which we’ll talk about. We stated the intention—“Ok

Grandmothers we want some more insights on this!” and it’s just flooded through. So yes there’s a lot to talk

about. Of course - 5th Chakra!

Cayelin: And we also have our fingers crossed we can get it all in in the time and make sure there’s plenty of

time for questions. So we’re excited to have everybody with us.

There are a couple of other things I want to share for the new people. We have a Facebook group, which has

been an amazing supportive process, so if you are not in that group and you are on Facebook or would like to

join Facebook—(maybe you haven’t had a reason to do that before)—it’s been tremendously supportive and

amazing so we’d love to encourage you to join. If you’d like to be included you can email Tami and let her

know or me but Tami’s been primarily the one to add members.

Tami: The simplest way to do it is to like me on Facebook and I will add you to the group.

Cayelin: Also for the new people and maybe a nice reminder for the people that have been in the class with us

is that this is an initiatory journey and so things will come up! And they can be amazing, wonderful, expansive,

high and wow! kinds of experiences and they can also be a little more challenging where we’re feeling more

deeply, we’re clearing things that have been blocked, so this is about releasing and letting go of the things that

hold us back from being wholly who we are. So if that’s coming up for you just know that that’s part of the

process.


Tami: And just to add one other thing to that, I think especially in the Facebook page, the places where we’re

sharing, it is maybe easier and safer sometimes to share the parts that are uplifting but I would say to you that

there are plenty, and any one of us who on any given day might be experiencing the harder parts, the parts

that are harder to communicate.

So just know that if you do what some of us, like myself do sometimes and just compare yourself and say, “Oh

I’m not having these incredible, magical experiences!” maybe it’s because there’s something you need feel

that’s in the way of that.

Cayelin: Right, that’s a good point. And it’s great to get the feedback of all the different kinds of things on the

Facebook page that people are going through. We know some people have shared they’ve had some

challenges, which is great because then everybody doesn’t feel alone!

And I really have appreciated all the posts and insights and I know Tami has too, it’s been really incredible. So

thank--you for your participation and how you’ve been showing up to be a part of that. Do you have any other

announcements?

Tami: Yes, there’s a good chance that our in next call we’re going to have a least a brief introduction by Erik

Roth, who is the Managing Director of SAMS. He’ll be talking about the truly exciting new Mars Teleclass

Series that he will be doing with Daniel Giamario. They were really inspired by our group to do that because

they felt that for men and for women working with the Mars cycle it would be very beneficial to also have a

ceremonial container to go through that process.

Especially for those of you who may be going through your personal Mars Return. We will talk more about

that again, next time. It’ll be supportive to any women who want to develop their inner masculine and the

inner sacred marriage, as well as men on the call who want to work with their inner masculine.

Cayelin: Yes, just to let you know that is an option that is out and that we will be sharing more about that.

Tami: And it will begin in June.

Cayelin: Yes, right, cool. I think that’s all the announcements for now and so what I’d like to do is to open

Sacred Space. I invite everyone to just get comfortable and to take a deep breath. I’m going to do this in a little

bit different way this time than we’ve done it in the past and this is an invocation to Inanna.

It seems perfect timing to bring in the invocation since we are working with the throat Chakra and invoking –

speaking - invoking Inanna in a different way than we have in the past. And also just to continue to invite the

Circle of Grandmothers and the wisdom and the ways that they’ve been helping each of us, how they’ve called

us all to be part of this amazing circle, so just giving great gratitude to them and how they continue to support

this process.

As well as the lineage of Shamanic Astrology and all of the ancient ones and the ways that these mysteries

have been coming alive and that we get to be participants with the mysteries that have been part of ancient

cultures and now are being re-enlivened as we do this together, which is really exciting. So, calling upon all

that and the Capricorn archetype, the Goddess that is the expression of the Grandmothers to be present with

us, Venus of course in all of her many forms.


Tami: Mmmm, including one that’s kind of special which we’ll talk about tonight which is Barnumbirr. She is an

Aboriginal goddess, Morning Star Goddess from Australia.

Cayelin: Mmmm yes. So this invocation is specifically to Inanna but it can include all the forms of the Goddess.

Take a moment to center and feel into your heart space and again, just breathing into that heart space and

open to receive the words of this invocation of the Holy Priestess of Heaven:

I say, “Hail!” to the Holy One who appears in the heavens!

I say, “Hail!” to the Holy Priestess of Heaven,

I say, “Hail!” to Inanna, Great Lady of Heaven!

Holy Torch! You fill the sky with light!

You brighten the day at dawn!

I say, “Hail!” to Inanna, Great Lady of Heaven!

Awesome Lady of the Annunaki Gods!

Crowned with great horns,

You fill the heavens and Earth with light!

I say, “Hail!” to Inanna, First Daughter of the Moon,

Mighty, majestic and radiant,

You shine brightly in the evening,

You brighten the day at dawn,

You stand in the heavens like the Sun and the Moon,

Your wonders are known both above and below,

To the greatness of the Holy Priestess of Heaven,

To you, Inanna, I sing!

Sumerian Hymn translated by Wolkstein and Kramer


Tami: I want to add that the radiance and the beauty of the goddess in that invocation is within each of us. So

to men in the circle it’s the inner feminine, the radiant inner feminine that’s in them and it’s the radiant

feminine in each of us as women that is invoked, as well as the specific presence of Inanna because this is the

Divine Feminine that we’re talking about in one of her many forms, which we embody.

Cayelin: Right, right, right.

Tami: So let me give just a little overview. This call might be different from a couple of the last ones in that we

do intend in the future to give you more opportunities to dive more deeply into the Venus Cycle, to work more

with the overtone and explore other areas. And in this call we are going to focus quite a bit on the Fifth Chakra

itself. Because as we discovered as we were really exploring it, there is so much to really work with in this

throat Chakra that to simply just focus on that feels essential.

We will talk about the 6th Gate and anything we are completing there. We’ll talk about the Venus Moon Gate,

when the next Venus Moon conjunction occurs. And for those of you with your pdf you’ll see marvelous

images that Cayelin has created with Venus and the Moon and how they will appear in the morning sky on the

24th, 25th, and 26th. We’ll give a 5th Chakra overview and then share some of our insights around the 5th Chakra

from more of a Grandmothers perspective.

Cayelin: (jet goes over)The jets are going home I guess for tonight and interesting because they’re so loud,

which is sound - connects to the 5th Chakra. I guess we just have to deal with that!

Tami: Let’s start by talking a bit about some of our experiences with the 6th Chakra because we still have

another week to work with that, at least in my experience sometimes the deepest culmination comes then.

We will leap in a moment into this next 5th Chakra but we still have a little time to just get into the deeper

resonance around that. I’ll tell my own story about what’s coming through with that. Working with the 6th

Chakra, I was very clearly focused on wanting to let go of and release whatever’s getting in the way of a deep

inner knowing and my own inner guidance.

So the first thing I noticed was how much I compare myself to other people and how easy it is to really

observe what others are doing and compare my own journey or their choices, So I thought I was seeing a very

powerful block. Also I saw how I often take in so much external information that I can shut down my own

capacity to bring in my own inner wisdom or guidance.

Then I had this real hunger for a strong sense of that inner knowing, so I was asking for that strong inner

guidance. And it also just so happens that right now I, like anyone with planets or personal angles in the

Cardinal Signs – Libra, Aries, Capricorn or Cancer at 12-13 degrees, am in the cross hairs of the Grand Cross

that’s going to be happening here in the next few days.

So for me, with Pluto and Uranus activating my chart, it’s not necessarily a time for me to take clear, “middle

world” action but I had a very strong desire to do so. So one morning I woke up and I was like, “I want clear

guidance!” and I just got this strong hit,


“You need to move from Albuquerque June 1st.” I had this sense of joy around making the decision and having

this clear sense of knowing and so I immediately told my partner and experienced his reaction – he’s trying to

start a cranio-sacral practice here and it’s a big deal for him.

There were several things that happened that day: one was that my intuitive hit opened me to the possibility

of a shifted relationship with my partner, something that I’ve really wanted and needed. I could imagine us

opening into a new location, doing new things and that helped me open to new possibilities.

My speaking my truth in that moment also brought my partner to a place of recognizing some of his own

shadow stuff that he needs to work through. And lastly what happened was that evening we went out to this

place we’ve never been before and we experienced these amazing petroglyphs right in the heart of

Albuquerque.

And an alignment I believe to the Winter Solstice Sun as well as potentially a Venus Star which we’ll include in

the final pdf file. This beautiful Venus Star which appeared as though it might be lined up with Venus’s rise in

Capricorn around the Winter Solstice.

To me it was so interesting that I started opening my heart to where I am, as well. So the way that feels to me

is that sometimes when we’re working with the 6th Chakra yes, there’s absolutely clear knowing and we should

act immediately and yet sometimes there is the need to bring that information in and digest it, work with it

and there’s something about having that gnosis that sparks other things for us. And sometimes it’s about

literal action and sometimes it’s about symbolic action.

Cayelin: Yes, that’s great. I really appreciate that experience that you had Tami. For those who are on the

Facebook page, I was able to have this incredible activation around the 6th Chakra. I had gone to the dentist

and on my way home I thought, “I think I’ll just stop and hike in this area” and then realized that wait, there’s a

cave I haven’t visited in 8 years – the last Venus cycle! And as I’m hiking I realize, “Oh it’s the Grandmothers

Cave!”

Around the time I was introduced to this cave I’d been introduced to the idea around how the elder women

initiate the women who are in menopause into the sacredness of that particular time. And sometimes the

initiation occurs in a literal cave and sometimes it occurs in a cave in the dreamtime, as I shared before.

So I was really excited to go and have this experience and I started singing the Grandmothers Song and I was

thinking about them as I climbed up to this cave. I was really happy I remembered how to get there. I took a

bunch of pictures, you’ll see them at the end of the PDF handout we’ve sent you, and there are cave paintings.

It’s a little cave, like a womb and when you go inside and when you speak your voice kind of reverberates and

so I was singing in there and was having this whole experience. As I was leaving it started to rain. I was just so

excited about the rain because it’s so unusual to have rain in the desert at this particular time of year.

And then I was thinking about tears, I was thinking about my own grandmothers and how I didn’t have a very

good experience with my own grandmothers and I started to feel my own tears. And the rain stopped and I

was like, “No, don’t stop, we need you rain!”


So then I was having this whole thought around the Grandmothers, my physical grandmothers in this life and

then I started to feel the tears about that and also how my children didn’t really have a good experience with

grandmothers either and I was feeling grief around that, feeling my tears come up.

And then the r wind came up and the rain came back and I was like, “Oh they’re responding to me!” I was

having this great experience and singing the Grandmothers Song which says “Grandmothers weaving the

rainbow” and I was like, “Oh wait, there’s gotta be a rainbow! There’s rain, there’s sun over here, clouds over

here” and I looked around and I had to hike a little bit of a distance but I came around and I saw this rainbow

arching across the top of one of the hills and I was so excited.

And then I came around another corner and there was a double rainbow over a kind of pyramid mountain that

was sort of lit. So I had this incredible sense that the Grandmothers were responding in such a literal way,

having sung the song about them weaving the rainbow and there’s the rainbow!

And then as I’m walking out, I’m walking through this little gateway that you walk through and I’m like, “Wait a

second, this is the 6th Chakra meditation I just created!” which was encouraging people to look at rainbows. So

it was very exciting and just a very expansive experience to have in this 6th chakra time.

Tami: Yes because one of the things that we’ve been working with is the idea of magic, with Inanna specifically

giving up her old magic wand and renewing her energy around magic. So that was also part of that.

Cayelin: Right and that was very magical.

Tami: So here we have one more week to really work with the 6th Chakra. Be aware that you may have truly

profound transformations and breakthroughs in that area and you might also have a greater awareness of

what’s in the way of really experiencing your inner knowing and your experience of life as magical.

Cayelin: And I think too, part of the idea is that this is reminding us to pay attention to the signs in the world of

form. You put an intention out there, you ask for support, you have a sense of what you want and how you

want to connect with that or what you’re trying to clear and what you’re asking to clear and then the signs

show up, the signs in the world of form do show up and let you know that you’re on track.

So keeping your attention open to that, your eyes open but also what you might hear or what you might

dream about or how it might show up for you in many different ways. Sometimes there are just incredible

synchronicities that happen which may not make sense at first but if you think about it in the context of what

the intention is and how you’ve been working with releasing certain things and so on, then it makes total sense

and it feels magical when you put those connections together.

Tami: And really it’s like a muscle, it’s like a practice to begin to see how those things weave together. Just to

say a tiny bit more about that experience, sometimes… It’s the same with dreams, sometimes dreams

literally tell us what to do and sometimes it’s more symbolic. There’s a practice you can do when you ask for

guidance as well that helps you to understand what your underlying motivations are so that you can get clear

in that way because that’s also helpful.


As you prepare to ask the question you want guidance on, whether you will meditate and talk to your

grandmother guide or ask for a sign in the world of form, before you ask for guidance, it is a great practice to

ask the following questions:

“What do I want the answer to be?”

“What am I afraid the answer is?” and

“What do I think the answer is?”

And in asking those questions, you begin to understand what your mind is doing around it and so you can have

more clarity to a receive more neutral, clear guidance that comes in through the intuitive function.

Cayelin: Right and trying to ask questions in a way that are more open ended not necessarily yes or no, like,

“Yes go here”, “no don’t go here”! But rather, “What could be my experience if I do this?” Asking the question

in a broader sense is really helpful.

Tami: Yes, more awareness of how this magic works.

Ok, so now we’re entering the 3rd Gate and working with the 5th Chakra and if you’ve got your pdf up you’ll see

that if you go out April 24th you’ll see that the Moon is approaching Venus and also approaching Neptune. You

can’t see Neptune with the naked eye but Neptune is going to be part of this actual experience because the

Moon will be conjunct Neptune and bringing in the transmissions from Neptune before it actually conjuncts

with Venus. And Venus just connected with Neptune, so there is that emphasis as well.

Cayelin: And Neptune is connected to the Celestial World, it’s connected to the Field of All Possibilities, visions

and dreams but it also can be about where we have illusions. Being conscious of the fact that it has to do with

perceptions interestingly as well, how we are perceiving reality?

Sometimes our perceptions are based in illusions! So that’s very 6th Chakra, as we go into the 5th Chakra we’re

going to have this one more shot of Neptune before we get to the 5th Chakra Gate with the Moon passing by

there.

Just to give us another opportunity to deepen or to get another revelation or some deeper insight into what

maybe our illusions have been and what are the new perceptions that are coming through in regard to the 6th

Chakra Gate.

The exact Venus Moon conjunction will take place on the 25th at 1:03pm Pacific Time, 4:03pm Eastern Time.

There’s also another slide here that was a little earlier in the morning, so if you got up earlier in the morning,

the first slide is 5:30am the sky is brightening, you’re not going to see so many stars but if you’re up at 4:15am

you’ll see a darker sky and you’ll maybe even see some other stars that are out at that particular time—just

something for those who like to get up early.

On the 25th around 5am, I created this slide from a different program and actually Formalhaut which is off to

the right of Venus is one of the four royal stars of ancient times and connected to Archangel Gabriel and the

messenger.


It’s interesting that we have this Venus Moon Gate happening in this area of the sky with this particular star

which has to do with being the messenger. It marks the mouth of one of the fish in Piscis Australis and one of

the four royal stars and watcher of the South, in that time.

So that’s just something to know and to connect into. Formalhaut is also about healing addictions! So we’ve

got that energy coming into play because Venus is in alignment with that star; Venus and the Moon will be

near that star at the time of this particular Gate.

Then the next slide is showing that again, showing the Moon next to Neptune early in the morning on April 25th

sitting side by side to Neptune, approaching Venus now. It’s approaching Venus because the exact conjunction

is not taking place until 1:03 in the afternoon or 4:03pm Eastern Time.

So on the 26th is when we’ll see the Moon sitting beside Venus in the morning sky, and below Venus. So this is

what it looks like in daylight time at 4am on one of the slides on April 26th so that gives you a way to orient, to

see where the Moon will be a very tiny crescent sliver of a Moon on the morning of the 26th low on the

horizon.

Tami: What you can do which is cool, is that for some of you if it’s cloudy or if you can’t see it you can just tune

in and use the images that Cayelin’s made to connect into the energy, if you don’t have the ability to actually

visually see it.

Cayelin: Right, and that’s one of the reasons why I love to put the slides in. It gives you a way of at least

creating something in your mind’s eye if your best opportunity is to meditate with feeling into Venus and the

Moon because you can’t see them.

Tami: Yes, awesome. So this moment, the moment of the entrance into this Gate represents the moment that

Inanna is removing her necklace.

Cayelin: And in the story it’s the lapis lazuli beads that are double stranded beads around her neck. So there’s

an image of the double stranded beads that are lapis lazuli, but she hands it over to the gate-keeper, she has

to remove and give it over. And what she’s doing symbolically then is releasing the ways that she has not been

able to communicate the truth of her being, to really express through verbal communication but other creative

ways of communicating as well and maybe even ways that are distorted.

If you were to think about how sometimes people will say something out of reaction that maybe they don’t

even really mean but is really harmful and hurtful. Or they don’t say anything at all because they’re afraid to

say something, they repress it.

So there are ways that we have been communicating that’s not healthy for us or for the people that are

receiving the communication or not getting the communication because we’re not speaking! All of these things

are things that she’s releasing as she’s letting go as she walks through this particular gateway.

The throat chakra connects to the neck, the thyroid, the parathyroid. The trachea is connected to the throat

chakra and the trachea has to do with – we have in the back of our throat something called an epiglottis that

covers the trachea when we swallow food but otherwise it’s part of how we breathe, so it’s all connected.


All this is connected actually to the ears and the nose, the mouth and teeth all connected to this. And the

thyroid is a big part of it and you can see an image of the thyroid in one of the pictures in the handout. So

when the throat chakra is imbalanced you can be prone to sore throats or laryngitis because you’re not

speaking or there are things you want to say but you can’t speak.

Or if there are things you’ve been saying that aren’t kind or aren’t helpful or aren’t supportive so your voice

gets shut down. Mouth ulcers, interestingly scoliosis, not sure why that’s connected to the imbalance but if

we think of the neck connected to the spine and if there’s curves in the neck or the spine, which scoliosis

usually connects to, would represent an imbalance in the throat chakra. Swollen glands, gum or tooth

problems, TMJ – lot’s of people with this, I actually have a little TMJ.

And people with 5th Chakra imbalances can have thyroid and immune system issues. Interestingly, I just read

something about thyroid – about 95% of people have an under-active, over-active or something off with their

thyroid – that’s the estimate they have and this was a doctor who is saying take iodine to help your thyroid, so

I just threw that in there for whatever that’s worth.

One of the things that can happen if the throat chakra is imbalanced, say it’s excessive then people talk too

much, they don’t know when to be quiet. Or when to listen, they don’t listen to what others have to say. I love

this imagery – blah, blah, blah, blah, blah… and the persons got their head in a vice going, “Aaghh! Don’t talk

so much!”

People who have maybe an excessive imbalance in their throat chakra may have dogmatic points of view and

they’re trying to convince you of their point of view, they might be self-righteous and arrogant and critical of

themselves but usually it comes across as being critical of others.

Tami: So that shows up as the excessive and then the deficient is when we feel sometimes fearful, timid, quiet,

or afraid to speak up. We may have difficulty expressing certain feelings, maybe unreliable or inconsistent,

may feel devious and manipulative, or lack personal will – difficulty making decisions or choices and may lack

discernment.

Part of what happens is that we’re filtering this information from the lower chakras as well as the upper

chakras. When we either breathe in something or take food in, this chakra is where we use discernment to

know how to process what we’re bringing in. So, if we’re really balanced then we’re really conscious of what

we’re saying and the words we’re using.

Cayelin: We’re going to talk a little more about this because there have been many ways that the the feminine

voice in particular has been repressed. And it can be scary to speak up, I know that there are times when I tried

to speak up as a child and had a lot of reaction to that.

And then we have this turtle hiding in its shell (image from the PDF) because it’s fearful, timid – let me just not

be seen and I won’t say anything and maybe nobody will notice I’m here. So that can be some of the

challenges of an imbalanced throat chakra as well.

Balancing this chakra is about using our voice: singing, chanting, humming, listening to music and gazing at the

beautiful blue sky because the color of this chakra is blue. Wearing blue and also doing conscious breathing -


Pranayama, there are different breathing practices you can do that can really help to balance the throat

chakra.

Also using gems and minerals like blue sapphire, any blue stone really, aquamarine, turquoise, blue topaz,

those are all great for helping with the throat chakra. And then essential oils there’s frankincense, myrrh,

sandalwood, lavender, cypress and it actually says frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood and cypress I think were

biblical oils, oils that were connected to ancient Egyptian times and the biblical times as well.

So there’s a list of a few more essential oils that you can use on the handout. And you can wear those, you can

put them on your throat chakra, you can maybe even make a blend of oils to work with for helping to balance

your throat chakra. So when the throat chakra is balanced then some of the gifts we get to experience are

heightened—intuition and telepathy.

I would really love to be more telepathic with people, where you don’t have to necessarily speak with your

voice—you can just tap in and connect with them all. And this is also where personal will is aligned with divine

will, so you wouldn’t have the case where you’re talking too much, or you’re not saying enough because you’re

in that alignment.

You would know when to speak, when to listen, what to say, how to say it in a way that other people can hear.

Content to live in the present moment, that’s a really good one, I think, a great one. Ram Dass talked about

that years ago in writing a book called Be Here Now, about being in the present moment and I think Eckhart

Tolle talks about the power of now.

So if the throat chakra’s balanced then we’re content to be in the now, in the present moment, taking

responsibility for our personal needs - not blaming others or having others be responsible for our needs but

being able to take responsibility and speak up when we have a need, to be able to express that in a way that

people can hear.

And this is really a lot about the truth. What is true for you? How do you express that truth? And how do you

stay true to what’s true for you? That’s a really, really important piece. Being considerate and respectful and

honest in your communications - sometimes you may have to say some hard things to somebody but how to

do it in a considerate and respectful way?

This is really important because otherwise it may just create more problems rather than solve problems. When

the throat chakra is balanced then there is usually an excellent sense of timing of knowing when to

communicate and when to listen.

Also these are the people that usually are great speakers, orators and writers. Healthy creative sense of self-

expression, a healthy sense of humor! These are all the things that, as we release the distortions and things

that are connected to our throat chakras that are not healthy, this is what we can look forward to feeling and

experiencing more of. We may already be experiencing some of this but the idea is that we take this to the

next level.

Tami: And I just want to add one thing too. The throat chakra has so much to do with our words and the ways

that when we give our word that we know what it is that we’re saying and that we hold to that as much as we


can. That’s one thing, I know for myself that I’ve noticed that can be a block – keeping our word - and being

careful when we give our word in the first place, based on realistic expectations of ourselves. Knowing, again it

has to do with knowing ourselves.

Cayelin: Right, and what’s realistic that we can or can’t do. So something that comes up, now that we’ve had

the 6th Chakra which connects to our thoughts and what we think and how we see and appreciate our reality,

and the 5th chakra has to do with our words, what we say.

And there’s an ancient saying, I remember as a kid – “our thoughts, words and deeds,” deeds being our

actions. But the piece that’s missing and has been missing in our culture is our feelings, so we’ll be looking at

this when we go to the next gate, when we get to the Heart Chakra, the 4th Gate which is about our feelings.

But this is how we create our reality: What we think, what we say, how we feel and what we do that produces

our results. So what we think, say, feel and do are really important and as we get healthier with these chakras,

then we’ll be healthier in how we’re creating our reality.

I also do just want to say, my parents were into Science of Mind and Ernest Holmes and we could say their

mantra, slogan or saying, the thing that identified the Science of Mind teachings was: Change your thinking,

change your life. But also change what you speak about, change your life; change your feelings, change your

life; change what you do, change your life.

All of these things are part of this co-creative process of how we’re creating our reality and being conscious of

them. And the first two are of course our thoughts and words because our thoughts are going to affect our

words. So being conscious of what we say and how we say it is really important. There are a couple of slides

that show this on the handout which you can see and then a great quote from Lao Tzu who said,

“WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS; THEY BECOME

WORDS. WATCH YOUR WORDS; THEY BECOME

ACTIONS. WATCH YOUR ACTIONS; THEY BECOME

HABITS. WATCH YOUR HABITS; THEY BECOME

CHARACTER. WATCH YOUR CHARACTER; IT BECOMES

YOUR DESTINY.” – LAO TZU

Tami: So it’s not just words. Thoughts are important and then also words because they are the beginning of

the concretization of our thoughts.

Cayelin: And our actions. So our thinking and then what we say and that becomes what we do and then that

becomes our destiny. And we are in charge of that, ultimately!

Tami: Essentially, as Cayelin and I have been talking about this throat chakra what’s come through really so

strongly is just how the feminine voice has been silenced so powerfully. And when I say feminine I do mean for

both women and then also any individual who is speaking up for more of a feminine paradigm.


Speaking the truth of the feminine perception is something that has been dangerous in the past and when you

think about the throat for example, one of the first really vivid images that came to me was of how probably so

many of us have been strangled in the past, we may have had our heads cut off, some may have had their

tongues cut out, there are many ways that at that point in our bodies we may have experienced pain.

So that lives in our ancestral memory if we’re talking about the Grandmothers, the ancestors, that’s also

something to understand, to consider how, if the voice of the feminine were to rise again in women and men,

what that would take?

That’s our question now. You will have more clear questions in the Home Play but also, as always Cayelin will

integrate some aspect of that question into the visualization that we’ll be working with. But just to consider.

It’s really going to be interesting to see what comes up for us as a group because these are powerful blocks

we’re talking about and part of what you can think about is just all the different sounds that have been

repressed – it’s ok for us to make certain sounds but how many of us really practice wailing or we sob privately

or how many of us scream and know how to do that?

How many of us know how to yell joyfully? Really consider do we have full expression with our voices? Are we

courageous enough to sing, even if we’re a little off key or we might not know all the words? I feel sometimes

in our modern culture especially, we’re so repressed but there are so many reasons for that.

Cayelin: Right. When Tami and I were talking about this I was sharing with her that I know as a kid growing up

and probably many of us on the call remember this, my parents would say, “Children are to be seen and not

heard!” (laughs)

So they didn’t want to hear what we had to say and my parents took it to an extreme where if I was talking too

much according to their opinion, they would actually tape my mouth shut so that I couldn’t talk, or I would be

slapped, I’d be sent to my room, I’d be spanked, whatever they could do to silence me and I was sometimes a

little outspoken (laughs) like, “that’s not fair!”

They were very authoritarian and of course the children didn’t have right answers, the parents had the right

answers. So I learned to be quiet, learned to hide and I learned to not speak up and I also learned to have a lot

of fear that if I did speak up it could be painful, a painful experience. Many of us have had that experience.

Tami: Yes, like mouth washed out with soap, those are all common things because you didn’t say the right

words or you said too many

Cayelin: Right, I had my mouth washed out with soap, probably because I said something that I’d heard and

just repeated and I didn’t know that that was not a good word and then I’m being dragged off to the bathroom

to have my mouth washed out with soap, like, “Great!”

Tami: Yes, so there are many reasons why, in our own individual lives and then much, much, much deeper than

that. The 5th Chakra is so powerful and so beautiful that we’re willing, as a collective to do the work to create

the clearings around that.


Cayelin: I just want to say something too about the wailing or keening experience. In many cultures that was

the job of the women, when someone died, for the person who died to be mourned, even if there wasn’t a

personal family member, it was just part of their tribe or community, the women would all gather together

and wail or keen.

I had an experience where we actually had an event where a person was found dead and I was the one that

found her and I came back and told the group that was there and we did shamanic ceremony right away.

But I found myself being the one who was wailing and keening for her, and I didn’t want to! I was trying not to

but fortunately there was a woman standing next to me who took a step behind me and whispered in my ear

and she said,

“You need to let that go, you need to really get into that.” And so I did because without her encouragement, I

probably wouldn’t have. We had about 25 people in this group and afterward many, many of the women came

up to me and said, “Thank you so much, you helped me so much by doing that,” which was not what I

expected at all because I was kind of embarrassed, actually.

Tami: Wow, that’s so powerful and it reminds me of Martin Prechtel, an author and shaman who had lived

with the Tzutujil Mayans on Lake Atitlan in Guatemala for many years. He said that when someone dies in that

culture, the people must grieve them very powerfully, and fully. The soul needed the weeping, and powerful

expressive grieving as energy in order for their soul to travel to the next dimension.

So if you didn’t do that then they stayed close, they became hungry ghosts. So that’s another example of how

original people knew we need to really be expressive in our grief. And it’s something many of us don’t know

how to do.

Cayelin: Yes. One of the things I’ve done in the past… because you don’t want to upset other people, have

them get freaked out like, “Oh my God! Now what do we do? This person is screaming!”

So you can go to your room, turn on your music and you can scream into your pillow. And it can be so

liberating! And you can do that instead of, you know, like kill somebody, when you really want to take that

energy out on them and you just scream until you’re exhausted or sometimes your throat hurts but it’s so

liberating to do that. Probably something that would be a great practice for everyone to do.

Tami: That will be on your essential Home Play too, so just wait and see what we have in store for you! (Much

laughter) So again, we’ll have a list of questions and we’ll have some really awesome Home Play for you this

time that we’ll be really excited to see and get your responses in terms of how this all plays out for you all.

And to me it seems as though there’s just been some really awesome magic that’s been happening for Cayelin

and I as we’ve been working with these mysteries. And it feels as though when we’re connecting with the

Earth element of Capricorn, and with the animals and in the magic of the Earth realm, it’s like the

Grandmothers are telling us more about these mysteries.

Cayelin: Right, just this was last week I out was out for a hike and I was asking the Grandmothers (I’m always

asking them!) for support and, “send me a sign! Or “help me.” and I was on this trail where I had seen a blue

lizard, (blue being the throat chakra), a few years ago with my daughter. and it was a good sized lizard, was


one of the biggest lizards I’d ever seen, besides Gila monsters and I was thinking it would be really cool to see

one because I have never seen one since. At that time it has popped up as one of those signs in the world of

form to confirm something we were talking about.

And I was on the same trail and I was thinking it would be really cool if the Grandmothers would send me

another lizard right now. So on my way back I was off the trail and almost back to the parking lot and a big Gila

monster, you can see it in the picture in the pdf that we sent you, was crossing the path in front of me.

And I was like, “Ok that’s so cool! I didn't get the blue lizard but I got the Gila Monster.” And I got to walk along

with it as it was moving off into the desert and noticed that it was sticking it’s tongue down on the ground and

thought, “That is so cool! And that is so throat chakra!”

Then I went and did a little research and of course the Gila monsters are in a sense descendants of the

dinosaurs, they’re one of the oldest animals on Earth and I think about the Grandmothers and working with

the ancient wisdom and how the Gila Monsters are a great symbol for that. And I was thinking that they

actually use their tongue to hunt and to receive information about their environment.

They can actually go a whole year without food or water, they can store it in their body so they have this ability

to sustain themselves which feels very Capricornian. They actually spend 95-98% of their time underground so

they are very rare to see and I’ve lived in Arizona for about 36 years and I’ve seen them only 5 times.

And that’s actually a lot because obviously they’re not going to be seen very often. This was in broad daylight

and they’re usually nocturnal and this particular Gila monster was almost 2 feet long. They can weigh up to 5

lbs and they can have been reported to live for over 35 years in captivity so that’s really amazing.

The Navajo see them as the healer, the protector, re-generator and they have a mythic story that somehow

when the Sun was blown apart that the Gila Monster was the one that took all the pieces and put the Sun back

together. And also they are poisonous so you don’t want to get too close, you don’t want them to bite you.

But they don’t usually bite, when they’re out is when they’re hunting and it’s very rare for somebody to get bit

by a Gila Monster unless they’re being very foolish. Now their venom is being used to treat Type 2 diabetes.

The Navajo will only speak their name as a prayer and this is like a medicine animal, I think it’s connected to

the throat chakra. For anybody that feels resonant with this it’s also about finding your own truth and is linked

with divination and intuition because the Gila Monsters were thought to help them figure out how to do

healing.

When the Gila Monster walks it’s front legs shake, they have claws that look like hands and they shake and in

the Navajo tradition they have hand shakers and those are the people that can help determine if somebody is

ill and then what to do to help heal them.

Tami: So what’s interesting too is that Cayelin had just seen the Gila Monster and the day before I’d been

doing research and just out of the blue, after an hour or so the Gila Monster shows up, just randomly and I was

like, “Ok, there’s something about this.”

It was pretty clearly about the throat chakra the way they inject their venom but also the way that they chew

their food, the way they digest their food - they have very strong jaws, their chewing motion is very powerful.


Also, it was believed that their breath was poisonous, so to me it also has something to do with the power of

digestion, really powerful digestion, it brings that in but also again, watching how we use our words and how

powerful our words are.

Cayelin: Right because they can be healing or they can be poison.

Tami: There were many different cultures who saw the Morning Star as being a Goddess or a divine figure and

there is a tribe in Australia who had believed that Venus Morning Star was their creator god, her name was

Barnumbirr.

She was the one who drew the songlines across the landscape and those songlines are what created the

animals and the flowers and the land forms. Even to this present day there are Aboriginal people who will

know how to navigate across the landscapes in the interior of Australia by singing the songline songs that

basically lay out where all the landscapes are.

They believe in fact that the Earth needs our songs and our capacity to name what’s there in order to stay alive

and vibrant. There are many other stories about that, about naming and so that’s the power of words too. The

Western Apache too, (and I’ll list this book that’s really fascinating), where this man, Keith H. Basso studied the

way that the Apache would tell stories about the landscape, it’s how they rooted there.

And they would have a hill over here and it wasn’t just “this hill” it was the place where this incident happened

or this person had this thing happen, so all of the landscape had stories connected to it and that’s how they

knew their place.

There’s one more native story about naming which to me, it always really moves me, which is about the Osage

native people who were from the Ozarks, where my family is from. In their story they were actually star people

who flew down on the back of red oak acorns and when they did, when they got to the earth they weren’t

accustomed to this environment so they didn’t know how to survive.

What they did was they had this ceremony and they named each of the animals and as they did, they would

take on the form of those animals and the animals taught them how to live in that landscape.

So there’s something about that naming that helped them connect to that place. So to me it seems, and this

could also be an exercise: for us to create Songlines of our own physical spaces and to name things and to

praise things through our words, through our voices, for the landscape surrounding us, for the creatures that

were there first. We can do that also.

Cayelin: One of the things that was fun yesterday – Tami and I went for a hike and she asked me to sing the

Grandmothers song and I was a little embarrassed because I don’t carry a tune very well! (laughs) I don’t

always remember the melodies exactly so I kind of just make it up.

So I was saying that and then we were talking about it and she was saying that she loved that I did that

because she has a similar experience. I said, “Yeah you know I love hiking through the desert and singing to

the cactus and to the trees and I just make up these songs about how much I love them and appreciate them,

how cool they are and how beautiful they are.” And she does exactly that!


Tami: Yeah! I’ll sing, “You’re so beautiful!” and I was just doing it that morning, the song of the sol (sun) of my

soul and just whatever came through. Of course we both do it privately and that’s why, when we were sitting

in the Grandmother Cave and I asked, “Cayelin would you sing the song?” and she’s like,

“Yeah, you know I often forget the words and so when I do ceremony it’s really scary, that moment where you

want to share a song, it’s really scary!” And so it was very cool that she did it.

You know, if you don’t know all the words or you stumble around a little bit it’s okay, the spirits really like it

when we sing, they like that music, the song so it doesn’t have to be perfect, it’s like praising and loving with

our voices the surroundings, the landscape we’re surrounded by, there’s something about blessing it that way,

it’s vulnerable. And there’s a reason we’re afraid, just like everything we’ve been saying – we might do it

wrong or…

Cayelin: Or we’ve been judged in the past or we judge ourselves against others like you started out saying

what you noticed in terms of the 6th Chakra and how you compare yourself to others and I have that, I

compare myself to others.

I can sing along with people fairly well – I wouldn’t say it’s great but it’s better than if I’m trying to do it by

myself. Or I can sing along with music I can do it fairly well, like it’s tolerable! (laughs) but when I’m by myself I

don’t really care so I’ll just let it rip!

And it’s a great thing to do and its definitely aligning/enlivening because you feel the whole… it’s about

vibration, our voice carries vibration and so when we speak and when we’re singing or speaking we’re

vibrating with that energy and that’s why our words are so important because the words also carry vibration

but in addition to the words it’s the feeling that’s behind it.

Tami: Yes, it’s the feeling. So, one of our Home play assignments will be about, in some way really claiming

your voice and singing. That might be you going out into nature and finding a song. Don’t worry that anyone

else will hear it, just as long as it comes from your heart and sing to your surroundings.

It might be remembering a childhood song and singing that or it might be (and we’ll send a link to the

Grandmothers Song again), you might learn that, practice that and just use that all month as your own song.

That will be one of the Home Play assignments also.

Cayelin: Or you can come up with something that’s like a mantra that you can chant. Sing it, chant it, speak it

out loud often, like every day. You can start out the day and end the day with saying something out loud

because that’s part of doing the invocations and doing the work because we’re creating our reality with our

words.

Tami: And it’s a gift to have something like that. You know when we were in the Grandmother Cave Cayelin

had brought some offerings – Rose Petals, Sage. Many of us know how to do that now and that’s something

people have always done, given an offering like that.

But people also always danced, which we will work with later and they’ve also always sung, so if you have a

song or if you have a mantra, something that you can give as a gift with your voice, that’s a gift that you can

always bring to any sacred space, any place you want to bring your spirit to.


So this will be a great gift for you to develop. And there will be other Home Play assignments but another one

that I just wanted to mention, because you’ll see it and I want you to have a touch-point for it in your brain, is

that we will be, because this literally has to do with the necklace.

Our recommendation will be to either take a necklace you already have that has a blue stone, (we’ll have a list

of different blue stones), maybe it is lapis lazuli either pick one you already have or find one or commission a

friend or a local person to make one for you.

To have a necklace that you use and that you wear and that you do ceremony around too, with these

questions, with what it is that you’re wishing to release. So that when you take it off at night, that you also

release whatever it is that you’re wishing to release around the throat chakra and when you put it on in the

morning to really consider what it is you’re willing to activate for self-expression.

So that will also be one of your Home Play assignments. And when we talk about this, for those of you who are

just starting you will know that some are really wanting to go deep into this and some are wanting to do just

the bare minimum, so all of this will not be required but for any of you who wish to do it we will have in-depth

assignments like this.

Cayelin: Right. Again, using what feels resonant for you and what feels alive for you to do and what feels like

will help you to be most connected to this time and the opportunity that we have, which is really to activate

our throat chakra, to release the blocks that maybe we’ve had that we’ve repressed or that kept us from

expressing as fully as we could.

We want to create practices and ways of being conscious of how we’re going to work this month as Venus is in

this gateway of releasing those things, so that once we are on the ascent and reclaiming, that we really have a

way to reclaim it in a healthy, more empowered way.

Tami: Yes and I want to say what’s interesting about this is that yes, it is a descent process, it is about clearing

but interestingly it’s not like we have to wait until the evening star phase to experience what comes through

positively. The focus here really is on the blocks but we already begin to feel how it is to have full free creative

expression.

And so there’s that and we will have visualizations but I just want to say too, just you being in this circle, in this

space is going to activate this for you, so just know that. And for some of you it will be better to be very simple

and just do the bare minimum, and for some of you it will be important to do as much as you can! And you

know yourself.

Cayelin: And some of you may not want to do anything other than listen to the class and maybe look at some

of the images and that’s fine too! Whatever it is that you can do is perfect, there’s no judgment good or bad,

right or wrong, it’s how you are guided. Oftentimes we have unexpected things that come up and add to our

life and our experience and so we don’t get to engage as much as maybe we had hoped, just not to have

judgment about that, just trust that whatever the process is for you, it’s perfect. So are we ready for the Q &

A?

Tami: Yes!


Cayelin: I’m going to turn on the Q & A and remind everybody that to get into the queue you can press *6 and

that will bring you into the queue. We’re hoping that you’ll have either questions, comments, insights, aha’s,

things that maybe weren’t clear that you’d like to have clarified or maybe something that you’d like to share in

terms of your own personal journey and how this has been for you so far.

This is really your time. So again, *6 and we’ll take questions and comments and insights for the next half hour

and if not, well we may have a couple more things to say to you but we might end early too. So far nobody has

jumped in so if you have any sense that there’s anything you’d like to share or ask about please press *6 and if

you have personal questions, maybe about your Venus, we can take some of those.

Tami: Also, just to consider, as we wait for questions, that if any of you did the Venus Life Review, and would

like to share what came of that, you might share now, or on Facebook, or in the comments on the page where

all the links for the class are.

Or if you have anything else that came up last month—issues around the 6th Chakra, etc., blocks that came up

etc. If you haven’t shared anything, or very much yet through email, or Facebook, you can share that now, or

in the comments, or to me in an email, or on Facebook, because it benefits everyone to hear different stories.

Cayelin: Also, this is the throat chakra so we hope that people will stretch themselves a little bit and just get on

and make a comment, even if you don’t have a question. Use your voice! Alright we’ll take the first question or

comment, hello…

Caller 1: Hi, this is Emma and this is my first conference that I’ve actually listened to while it’s active, I’ve

always been involved in other things and have had to listen to them afterwards.

I want to say that, I believe Cayelin it was you that made a comment a few days ago about having these weird

dreams, or somebody did. And I’ve had a series of dreams that have been recurring all through my life but now

they’re more potent and they’re dreams of fear of abandonment and anxiety about being alone.

This is not something that I know of myself within my daily life, except as a child I didn’t want to be alone, I

would always want to be in the company of a sister or a brother or at nighttime I would creep downstairs and

sleep outside my parents bedroom door.

I don’t understand where this comes from because I came from a large, loving family, I had ten siblings and

very loving, caring parents, very nurturing and I’m trying to figure out what it is, what I need to release.

Tami: Well, in my mind oftentimes this sense of profound loneliness has to do with a disconnect from our inner

self or inner guidance or spiritual guidance. To me, part of the way I’ve been looking at this is that once we

open the portal to work with the Crown Chakra we’re going to be working with it the whole time, this is just

my opinion.

And then once we open the portal to the 5th Chakra … so far the two chakras that we’ve been working with

have to do with our connection to the divine and to inner knowing and inner guidance and that’s where a

profound sense of trust and connection comes from in the first place, at least in my view.


So I would wonder if it had something to do with the sense of trust in the world, that you’re loved, that it’s a

friendly universe. So that’s what my first hit was, what do you think?

Cayelin: Emma I’m just wondering, you said that you don’t feel so much that way now?

Emma: Right, right. I’m in a very loving relationship, I feel very comfortable, I like my independent free time.

My husband and I have often talked about what we would do if either one of us had our partner do their

transition before the other one.

Our ideal has always been to go out together but you know, usually you don’t get that choice! (laughs.) And

I’m not afraid of the future so I’m just wondering… In my birth chart I have Venus conjunct Saturn in Aquarius

and I often wonder if this is not something about realizing that I’m a visitor here and that I really want to go

home, it’s sort of like ET call home!

Cayelin: Right. The other thought that I’m having too is I’m wondering if maybe you’re also tapping into a

collective piece …

Emma: Aaaaahh

Cayelin: Maybe what you’re picking up on is… because there are a lot of people on the planet, especially now

and things are so intensified, that maybe you’re tuning into that as well. And then the opportunity is to look

within ourselves and say, “Ok, what’s this about for me?” and “Is this something that’s mine or is this

something that I’m just tuning into?” That’s just a thought.

Emma: That’s a very helpful thought. Everything has been very helpful here and I really appreciate this going in

through the chakras and I’m hoping that on each new Venus cycle, as Venus goes into a different cycle in what,

17 months from now it will be going into a new cycle, that these classes will be available for the next people

who are going through a Venus initiation.

Tami: Yes we do too!

Cayelin: Yes, thank you, we’ll see about that and also because every Overtone will have its own flavor and so

on. Thank you for that Emma, really appreciate it and love that we have you as a Grandmother out there in our

circle to represent that for us. Thank you for that encouragement, we really appreciate it.

Emma: And may Inanna bless both of you!

Tami & Cayelin: Thank you!!

Cayelin: You too! We have another question, are you complete now Emma?

Emma: Yes I am.

Cayelin: Alright, thank you so much. Ok…

Caller 2: Hi everyone, it’s Brett.

Tami & Cayelin: Hi Brett.


Brett: Hello, you know Emma just made me hit *6 because I’ve been thinking a lot about the transition of the

Synodic Cycles of Venus. I call myself Gemini Brett and really choose to carry this Gemini energy and so I’ve

thought a lot about Venus transitioning from her 19 month journey through the Gemini mysteries, now into

Capricorn.

And I’ve kind of said, “What does it mean to have a tank full of Gemini goods and the investigation of

Capricorn and moving from this eternal youth energy to the Wise Elder?” And right when I was thinking of this

I did a reading for a woman who had that same signature and I was led to this quote from the Gospel of

Thomas which I’ll paraphrase, it said something along the lines of:

Jesus said a wise man of olden years will not be scared to ask a child of seven days for wisdom for he who

comes first shall later be last… something along those lines. And it helped me to see that sometimes our wise

elders are much younger than us and that we can get wisdom from anywhere.

And another thing about Gemini and Capricorn was that it felt like Capricorn can be so serious sometimes and

Gemini can be anything but and combining these it feels like it’s maybe time to get really serious about not

taking things too seriously.

(Everyone laughs!)

Brett: The last thing was – with all this Gemini energy, sometimes I can get down on myself for kind of thinking

too many thoughts per minute and sometimes that seems to be what clogs the channel.

So when I was sitting and working on these chakras through the Venus in Capricorn process, I feel like I’m

releasing some of the Gemini tendencies of some of these chakras so that I can then honor the Capricorn

tendencies of those chakras once we come out of the underworld later in December.

And that really seemed to make sense when I was working on the 7th Chakra because sometimes just the

monkey mind, as many traditions call it, can keep us from really honoring the information that comes in

through the channel and in through the highest chakra. But moving into the 6th Chakra I really realized that our

perceptions are our universe and the great teacher Alan Watts says that it’s not really everything, it’s

everythink because everything that we experience is what we are thinking and how we take it in through our

perceptions.

And it helped me actually honor some of the Gemini tendencies around the 6th Chakra. And when we move

into the 5th - I feel like Gemini actually has a lot to educate Capricorn about in this way because the Wise

Elder’s voice is meant to be heard and especially the Goddess Wise Elder at this time on earth. I feel like having

this communication gate opened is absolutely so imperative for the shifts that the Earth is making at this time.

Cayelin: Beautiful. And I just want to follow up on something you said Brett, because I’ve thought about this a

lot, having a lot of Saturn and Capricorn on my chart, coming to the conclusion that I feel that Capricorn has

been serious in the - for lack of a better word- patriarchal culture and how it got usurped as the “Father God”

rather than the feminine expression and so it took on this very serious tone.


But I actually don’t think that Capricorn is so serious and I have this sense of it, if we think about the

Grandmothers who, for me it was like I could play with my grandmother but not my mother, she wasn’t very

playful, whereas my grandmother was far more playful.

And there’s this playfulness that can come with the wisdom of the Grandmothers. Another thing that clued me

into this was when I was raising my kids we were watching Fantasia one day and one of the pieces in Fantasia

is when the nature fairies are turning the seasons and they’re doing it with such absolute joy.

They’re doing their work and yet they’re dancing, they’re playing; they have this great interaction that’s going

on. That to me is what Capricorn is meant to be, not serious hard work, put your nose to the grindstone, the

sort of slave, hard working mentality that we’ve had around Capricorn.

Brett: I love that and when you talk about the 6th Gate really honoring magic, we see children as such magical

beings and then it often takes us until later in life to release some of the conditioning that asked us not to

honor our magic because we are magical, creative beings.

Many conversations I had this weekend with people who said they had these gifts – they could see auras or

they could hear color or something when they were young and when they expressed that and they were told

that was strange, even evil and that had to be suppressed and it went away.

And really asking people to honor those traits and ask themselves to allow their medicine back in because

those gifts are unique and they’re there and it’s not something we have to wait until we’re in our older years

to head back toward youthful mentality because often it takes that long in life.

So hopefully working with the Grandmother energy now, at my age of 38 I can allow myself to release some of

that conditioning from when I was young and use the Grandmother energy to be young again.

Cayelin: Yay!

Tami: Yes. I just want to add a little bit Brett. I really love the way that you’re looking at the movement from

one Overtone to the next because I’ve really had that strong sense too. The way I’ve felt it is that once we’ve

completed a cycle and that octave, that expression of the feminine has dropped in, then she becomes the ally

to support us in the next new cycle.

And so I think you’re right, that the emphasis on magic this time, this last one was huge for the 6th Chakra was

so big. And then also in talking to Cayelin and I have had so many conversations about having it be that what

works in the world is fun, that it’s playful, that it delights us.

Cayelin: And magical!

Tami: It’s magical. So yes it’s an infusion of Gemini and Cayelin and I have South Node and Moon in Gemini, I’m

sure many of us in the circle have Gemini.

Brett: It feels like we’re building the structure of our inner amusement park and if we just remember that in all

of this that we’re moving to the next cycle, the Leo Overtone so all this work we do is preparing the way for

the return of the Queen (next Venus Cycle is Leo Overtone).


Cayelin: And self-love.

Tami: Yes. And I think the gift too of Capricorn to Gemini, you were talking about that, dropping into as a

Gemini kind of person, is actually because my experience with Saturn on my Gemini Moon, which is similar, is

that Capricorn helps Gemini to slow our minds down and it’s kind of a blessing sometimes because it feels like

a relief to have your mind slowed down a bit so that it’s not always so frantic feeling or racy. Gravity.

Brett: Yes. And the Air and Earth, that combo too I’ve been really fascinated in as Venus moves from Gemini

Air to Capricorn Earth, Mars is moving from Virgo Earth to Libra Air so it seems like that masculine – feminine

balance of mind and body is really due on both sides of us now.

Tami: Yeah!

Cayelin: Thank you Brett, that was awesome.

Brett: Thank you.

Cayein: Ok, great. I’ll move on to the next one and this is Lalli, Hi.

Lalli: Hi Cayelin and Tami I’m so happy to be here with you and everyone. And I’m speaking because it’s the 5th

Chakra! It’s a little hard for me to do this and that’s exactly why I’m doing it. I really am very excited and I just

began yesterday actually - I did the 7th Chakra yesterday and the 6th one this morning so I’m on the fast track!

And I already had this interesting experience this morning when I was listening about the 6th Chakra. Tami was

showing all these beautiful altars that had been on Facebook and they were so beautiful and all I could think of

was that comparison thing of, “I am less than,” that whole thing, that’s one of my old themes.

So I went for a walk and I was surprised, it was so strong. And then I said, “Of course it’s so strong because you

are trying to release these old perceptions!” So I just took it like that and then I said, “It’s not true!” The old

perceptions say, “I don’t have anything to contribute” or “I have something to contribute but I’m not doing it,”

blah blah blah…!

So I said, “I may not know how I’m contributing but I trust that I am!” – this is what I journaled – “and I’m part

of this circle of souls who connect with the Capricorn mysteries and who desire to bring the new guidelines into

the world and how I play my part is unfolding.

I’m grateful and I love me and I love all of you, we’re all in this together. Each feeling I have of less than is the

medicine to heal this wound. So thank you both and thank you all!” (Great laughter.)

Cayelin: Wow! Would you be willing to type up that piece and put it on our Facebook page?

Tami: Yes!

Lalli: I don’t know how to use Facebook, I never have.

Cayelin: Well could you send it to me and then I could post it? Actually I have a better idea – post it on the

comments page on our class page, there’s a “comments” at the bottom of the page.


Lalli: I’ll look at it.

Cayelin: And if you can’t do that, send it to me and I’ll post it.

Lalli: Send just what I read to you?

Cayelin: Yes, that was so beautiful. And some people can hear it and take it in on one level but actually to be

able to see it and go back and read it… it’s so beautiful. And I am so happy that you decided to speak up! And

what a great way to stretch yourself and the way that you tied everything together – “We’re all in this

together” and the way that you spoke about all of that is so eloquent and beautiful.

Lalli: Well thank you, this is just a joyful experience being here with you.

Cayelin: Well we love having you here with us, so thank you. Is there anything else for you?

Lalli: No, that’s it for now.

Cayelin: Ok, cool. So we don’t have anybody else lined up in the queue at this time. We do have about 5 more

minutes if there’s anybody else who’s maybe hesitating?

Cayelin: You know, it there’s anybody who would be willing to stretch themselves and show up and speak up

and say something, even if it’s just a gratitude piece, or whatever you might want to say. So we’ll just be silent

for a moment.

Renie Brooksieker: Hi there, I had a little trouble getting in because I kept trying but it wouldn’t go anywhere

and then it finally came on and said, “Hit One”

Cayelin: Oh, it did?

Caller: I feel it’s like Mercury retrograde here or something! Well first of all, I don’t want to start with a

complaint, I want to start with gratitude. How grateful I am for this whole program and everything that is

unfolding for me personally. I’ve connected to my grandmother, actually my great grandmother that I never

knew. And the other piece of it is I’m having personal experiences with Venus every morning, as she’s changing

signs, she’s changing shape and form for me and so that’s been very magical.

The magic has been absolutely awesome for me, so thank you, thank you, thank you, both of you, so much for

all the hard work that you’re doing for us and how much I appreciate it, I’m sure all the other ladies do too.

Much love to both of you.

You know, I just want to say something to the lady that was dreaming. I work with the cycles of the Moon and

I’m actually working on something called “Dreaming with the Moon” right now, putting it together, that’s a

sort of a pilot thing.

But Neptune and Venus both in Pisces have been really accelerating the dreamtime and when those Water

Trines get triggered off we have an incredible opportunity for healing in our dreamtime. There’s a lot of

healing work going on in the dreamtime right now.


Cayelin: You are absolutely right and we’ve got Chiron in Pisces as well, who is the Shamanic Healer so that’s a

very good point that we actually missed. So thank you for bringing that up, really appreciate it.

Tami: Yes, absolutely.

Rene: Ok, thank you.

Cayelin: Hi Linda…

Linda Ellinor: Hi, I know we’re at the end of the time but I do have something I’d like to say. It’s wonderful

being here by the way, thank you so much for encouraging me to join, I’ve got a lot to do to catch up. I just

wanted to mention a fabulous exercise that I experienced over the weekend that relates to this chakra.

There was a French philosopher, Gastron Bushard I think his name was, and he said that the beginning of all

suffering was when our voices were silenced, and so the exercise, which was so powerful was to simply journal

all the things that we don’t say typically.

And we did this in a movement workshop so we would move and we would journal and we would move and

we would journal. We did it over a sustained period of time, maybe an hour and the deeper and deeper I went

with that exercise, I got so many insights and it was like a huge assemblage shift for me. So I just offer that.

Cayelin: Thank you sooo much, that’s brilliant.

Tami: Yes, thank you. That’s great.

Linda: Alright, thank you guys for this work.

Tami: Thank you Linda, so glad you’re here.

Cayelin: Yeah, we are. Alright, we’ll just take one more, real quick.

Cayelin & Tami: Hi Kelly

Kelly: Hi, thank you. I just want to start by saying thank you. It’s been really lovely to be participating in the

past few days with just joining the circle, so thank you for holding the space, thank you for your work.

It’s incredible how much stickiness I feel around this chakra and it is a bit of a stretch for me to speak out and

so thank you for the opportunity to even to stretch myself there. A lot was coming up for me during the call

that was really beautiful: thinking of all the ways that we use our voices to connect to Spirit and all the ways

that I have, in the past connected to Spirit with voice, so it’s just been a really beautiful remembrance for me.

And then also thinking of all the ways that we’ve stifled voices over the past and the way the patriarchal

systems have stifled the feminine voice. I do a lot of work with laboring women and in labor, in the hospitals

there is so much of an attitude such as “don’t make noise” and “You need to be quiet”, but it’s also really

beautiful to have women who are really vocalized and it can be really productive in the labor process. So I’m

really hoping this will work around all of the chakras really, but this particular chakra that it will help me guide

women to find their voice too. Thank you.


Cayelin: Beautiful. And so it is!

Kelly: (laughs) Thank you, aho!

Cayelin: And thank you so much for stretching yourself to come on and share.

Tami: Yes we’re so glad, especially since you’ve just joined us, so it’s really wonderful to have you in the circle.

Kelly: Thank you.

Cayelin: Thank you. Alright, so I think we are complete.

Tami: Yes. So I think I’ll do a little closing prayer. I’ve started doing that a lot in my readings because we’ve just

really been inviting a lot of energy in and we’re already bouncing off the walls a little bit so….

Divine Mother-Father presence, beloved Source, gratitude to this beautiful circle, gratitude to the Circle of the

Grandmothers, so much gratitude for each beautiful woman and man’s spirit in the circle and to Inanna for her

presence and Barnumbirr and all the other expressions of the Sacred Feminine and most especially to the

Shamanic Astrology lineage, to all who have worked with these mysteries, so much gratitude to the wisdom

that has come through that source and we now close this circle with this gratitude and ask that as we all step

forward that this clearing of our chakras be for the benefit of all beings. And so it is.

Cayelin: And so it is! Thank you everyone, good night.
