My recent journey to Iceland was built upon the foundation that Miki and our team established in Paris with World Healing blessings and the activation of the Luminara crystals. In Iceland, our work was to elevate and spread Iceland’s spiritual energy across Europe. Supporting Miki in these activations was central to our mission. Her unique spiritual abilities were the key to the activation of the Luminara crystals. Our team, including former students and practitioners, assisted Miki by focusing our intentions, as we did in Paris, to create a powerful energy pyramid amplifying the activation’s effects.
Guided by the seeings of the Seven Siddhas, we focused on elevating the European circle of power— an ancient energy line essential for global harmony. They said that activating the crystals in Iceland would not only enhance the spiritual energies there, but also spread the Icelandic energy of nature to promote ecological balance throughout Europe. This mission was a collective effort to foster global unity and spiritual elevation by integrating the pristine energies of Iceland into a network of spiritual harmony.
Day 1: July 12
Akureyri Botanical Garden
Our journey began in the serene, mystical Akureyri Botanical Garden. One of the northernmost botanical gardens in the world, this meticulously maintained garden features 7,000 species of native and exotic plants. When we arrived, we were stunned by the park’s beauty. The garden was a vibrant tapestry of colors, with lush greenery and an array of blooming flowers, including large, butterfly-like, beautiful blue poppies. Pathways meandered through carefully arranged plant displays, leading to hidden nooks and quiet corners, creating an atmosphere of enchantment and tranquility.
There, we met Bryndís Fjóla Pétursdóttir, a horticulturist and botanical garden tour guide. Bryndís was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Akureyri, but more, she is a Völva, or revered Nordic Seer, who has been in connection with the Icelandic elves and invisible people her whole life.
In Icelandic lore, elves, known as álfar, are magical beings who inhabit the country’s natural landscapes such as rocks, hills, and cliffs. Elves are known to be little people, with an ethereal, radiant appearance. They are known for their magical abilities and harmonious relationship with nature.
There are many stories of elves helping humans. One I like comes from Björk, a world famous singer. She once joked about how the elves helped Icelandic musicians saying, “When record-company executives come to Iceland and ask bands if they actually believe in elves… whoever says yes gets signed up.”
And in Iceland almost everyone believes in elves, though they may not admit it in conversation. One member of the Icelandic sangha said, “Yeah, we all believe in elves, but if you ask us directly, we’ll say, ‘Of course there’s no such thing as elves!’ But when it’s time to build a road, we’ll all make sure it is far from crossing places known for having elf homes.”
When a road was commissioned by the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration to connect Kópavogur with the capital, Reykjavik, the plan was to make the road go in a straight line, point to point. However, local people pointed out that the planned road would plow right through a known elf community. Bringing this to the attention of the Icelandic Road and Coastal Administration and taking it to the Icelandic Supreme Court, the road was diverted to make a 26-kilometer diversion around the elf community.
Bryndís also offers these kinds of consulting services. Recently, in Akureyri, a company embarked on building a luxurious thermal bath spa on the outskirts of town. They faced persistent equipment failures and delays, costing them millions of dollars. In desperation, they called upon Bryndís. When she arrived at the site, she encountered trolls who were agitated by the construction. The humans had destroyed a rocky area that was part of the trolls’ home, leading to their opposition to the project. Bryndís, speaking with the trolls, discovered a way to appease them. She advised the construction workers to avoid building on one of the planned sites, and also to restore the rocky outcrop they had leveled. The construction company followed Bryndís’s advice, and they were able to complete the project without further mechanical issues or delays.
When Bryndís heard about our work with the Luminara, she didn’t dismiss it as spaced-out new-age silliness but embraced it as important work, very aligned with her own. She brought news of our coming to her good friend Pia. Pia is an Icelandic Invisible Person, or huldufólk. Invisible People live in a parallel world, metaphysically close to our world. Pia, being aligned with and aiding Bryndís’s work, was happy that we were coming to them. Huldufólk are not like the spritely-looking small elves of Iceland. They are as tall as us humans, yet have an attractive and ethereal quality about them.
Months ago, the Seven told me that I would meet a woman in Akureyri who would help us, and that with her, we would forge an alliance with the magical beings of Iceland to aid us in our world dharma work. One of the Iceland sangha members found Bryndís and arranged a meeting for me the night before.
When I first met Bryndís, I immediately recognized her as a true seer and a powerful woman of wisdom. She has a calming and nurturing presence that brings peace and reassurance to everyone around her. I felt an immediate sense of tranquility speaking with her. I saw that her heart chakra was highly evolved, and that it was her deep empathy that allowed her to connect with mystical beings for the sake of helping the human world. I was in awe of her genuine, spiritual understanding and compassion. Ultimately, Bryndís’s profound spiritual insight draws from the ancient energies of Iceland. I found this to be deeply moving, inspiring, and very much aligned with our mission.
Bryndís told me that the elves and hidden people had been holding meetings, discussing how they could assist us in the days before our arrival. Pia, a hidden person who cares deeply for the human world, organized the hidden people and elves to become our allies. Pia even worked with trolls, and an Icelandic dragon, showing them how they could help too. I was very happy that Bryndís would guide us into the hidden world of the elves, invisible people, and the secrets of Iceland.
Bryndís guided us to a special area on the “Hidden Trail” in the botanical garden. There, our group, along with several of Bryndís’s spiritual friends and a local journalist formed a circle. As Bryndís introduced herself, I could see Pia standing by a tree behind her.
Pia, a hidden lady, had a healing presence and was adorned with a radiant, diffuse rainbow aura. She appeared as a magical-looking young woman with a special etheric beauty. She was wearing a white dress that looked like it was out of the 1800s with detailed embroidery of red and blue flowers. She was thin, around five and a half feet tall with long light brown hair and fair skin. She looked at me, knew that I saw her, and gave me a welcoming smile.
After Bryndís introduced us to the garden, Pia, and the elves, we sat down and began our work with a world-healing blessing. Pia really seemed to resonate with with intention and energy of the world-healing blessing. Most of all she seemed to love Miki’s singing bowls and light language. Pia joined Miki, playing a crystal harp as Miki sang.
Next, we began the activation of the Fyrial Crystal, which opens dimensions of compassion, empathy, and unity. Miki used light language and crystal singing bowls, creating a harmonious vibration that permeated the garden. I and the other participants held the other 11 Luminara crystals in our minds to elevate Miki’s crystal activation.
During the crystal activation, I became aware of dozens of elves and hidden people joining us in our work. They, like us, were holding the crystals of the Luminara in their minds. Together, we made a great energetic pyramid of many-colored crystal lights.
I also became aware of the presence of a giant white dragon. It had come to join us in our work as well, blessing us with gusts of wind. It was a powerful dragon and an awe-inspiring sight, stretching over 100 feet long. Its scales shimmered like freshly fallen snow, and its belly glistened with an iridescent, pearl-like sheen. Unlike the sleek Asian dragons I knew, this dragon had a robust, imposing frame and massive wings. Striking red accents ran along its spine and wings, creating a vivid, fiery contrast against its snowy scales. The dragon had four powerful claws that gripped the ground with authority. Its large body and graceful movements exuded an undeniable aura of strength.
The dragon’s magical presence was undeniable, radiating an ethereal glow that enveloped the dragon in an enchanting haze. The dragon’s aura shimmered with a mystical energy, creating an almost surreal atmosphere around it. With each breath, the dragon seemed to weave spells. Its very presence brought blessings of otherworldly enchantments.
I somehow sensed that the dragon knew that many of us had strong connections to Japanese dragons. The dragon’s ancient wisdom was evident in its deep, all-knowing eyes. Its eyes were white with dark pupils, yet they glowed with the depth of ages. In its eyes, I could see a profound understanding of the natural world and its mysteries. The dragon’s stare had a regal bearing, as if it carried the secrets of the earth and sky within its very being.
Later, one of the team members told me about their experience with the elves and the dragon saying, “My experience was like being in a huge assembly full of different beings, all excited about receiving the crystals. It was a joyful scene, with beings playing and interacting with the crystals in ways we can’t even imagine. Then a giant white dragon appeared, blessing us with a gust of wind. At the end of the activation, the gust of wind came again and it felt like the dragon’s tail adding to the power of the Fyrial Crystal activation.”
We then proceeded to activate the Kaelum Crystal, which empowers innovation and spiritual growth and has a cosmic connection to Arcturus, promoting spiritual elevation and wisdom. Miki began the activation process again. As Miki began to sing with the tones of the crystal bowls, I could hear Pia singing with Miki. The activation was an experience of spiritual elevation and harmony. There was a new dimension of magical power that came from working in unity with Pia, the elves and the invisible people.
Later, one of the team members told me about her experience, saying, “When we did the crystal activation, my experience was centered around the theme of sunlight. I offered the light of the Sun Pearl, which I had learned about from working with Ahjan in China and Taiwan. I was holding the Galanith Crystal, a golden lotus that emanated its qualities through the sunlight. At the end, I also offered the light of the Sun Pearl to the elves, and in return, they showed me a deep indigo-blue energy which I found to be a powerful dimension of the Icelandic way of dharma.”
Another team member shared her experience, saying, “By holding the Luminae Crystal, I learned the teachings of the Luminae Crystal for the world. I saw that this lavender-colored crystal emanates peace. It is a purple wave that encompasses everything, with beautiful white light softly coming from inside the crystal. From this light, I realized that the crystal was actually showing the way of enlightened leadership. What I saw in the experience were different qualities of enlightened governance, including kindness, compassion, seeing where someone is at and speaking from that place, and many aspects of what it takes to build an enlightened society.”
After the activations, the elves and hidden people came to give us gifts. Pia gave me a crown of woven blue poppies and transmitted a blue light from her heart to Miki’s. In turn, we offered gifts. For my offering, I transmitted the light of Salvakalpa Samadhi to our new friends.
Later, one of the team members recounted, “When I shared my gift to the elves, at first, I shared the light I was putting into the crystal activation; it was gold light and white light that I shared. Then, I got a crystal dropped into my hands; they gave me a crystal back. It was a sapphire with gold facets and gold light. I said thank you. Then, there was an opening to share more, and I could feel at least 40 other elves and invisible people that were sitting around us. I shared the light from me personally. I felt this beautiful heart connection with everyone that was sitting there, and there’s a gold line connecting my heart to theirs.”
Another team member added, “The gift that the elves gave us, to me, felt like rainbow light. I offered the highest thing I have in this life, which is gold light, and it’s my gift. When I offered it to them, I just felt so much love coming back, and visually I saw rainbow light, but not just rainbow—it was diffused and soft. And it was coming from Pia, such an intimate connection. Almost a lover experience, a divine love.”
Our time in the Akureyri botanical garden was transformative. The activations of the Fyrial and Kaelum Crystals, supported by elves, hidden people, and the great white dragon, created a powerful resonance. Pia and the hidden beings amplified our efforts with their innate awareness and harmonious energies.
With gratitude for our new friends, we departed for our next location, carrying the powerful energy and insights that we had gained.
Vaðlaheiði Mountain
Our drive to Vaðlaheiði Mountain took us along a scenic route, offering breathtaking views. We all had an excited sense of anticipation. As we arrived, I could see the great white dragon fly over to join us. He flew around us creating strong winds.
We began with the activation of the Cerendiel Crystal, which facilitates personal and planetary ascension. Miki performed light language with a powerful, clear voice, accompanied by strong resonant sounds of the singing bowls. Our team held the crystals in our minds, focusing our intentions. I quickly noticed that Pia, several elves, hidden people, and a couple of trolls had joined us in the activation. Pia sang along with Miki’s light language. This added a layer of enchanting harmony to the activation.
As Miki charged the activation of the Cerendiel Crystal with her light language, each of the Luminara crystals that we held to support Miki came together in the energetic form of a crystal pyramid with all the colors of the Luminara crystals.
During this activation, many of the support team members had powerful experiences learning to wield the magical Luminara crystals. One of the team members told me about her experience learning through holding the Belanar Crystal. She said Rather than visualizing it, she opened her heart and invoked, “Belanar, I invoke thee. Be one with me. That thy power may flow through me.” As they did, she felt the crystal’s energy merge with their heart, resolving any inner conflicts and bringing deep peace to her mind. The crystal’s presence became one with her, dissolving tensions and fostering a sense of unity and reconciliation within her, creating a harmonious state of being.
Another team member told me about his experience, saying that he too came to learn the teachings of the Luminae Crystal as he held it to support Miki’s activation. He felt the crystal’s lavender light emanating peace, its soft white glow encompassing everything around him. Then suddenly, he had a profound realization of the crystal’s teachings that pulled the rug out from under him, transforming his understanding of enlightened leadership. He had initially thought that leadership and governance were primarily about power, control, and economic prosperity. However, this profound realization revealed to him that true enlightened governance is rooted in qualities like kindness, compassion, and understanding. This new insight dramatically shifted his perspective, showing him that the essence of a harmonious society lies in these deeper, more humane qualities.
Another team member told me about their experience, saying, “Looking at the magic mountain, it was very still and very empty. I could feel at the end of the crystal activation that this mission of world peace is actually happening. It hit me as a blast of light.”
Next, we activated the Joriel Crystal, offering power for cultivating prosperity and spiritual well-being. Miki’s light language continued to guide us as we held the crystals in our minds. Noticing the support of our magical allies, I could hear the trolls making booming tones by hitting rocks together. I then became aware of how Miki was connecting the mountain to the crystal in a powerful balance. The cosmic connection to Polaris provided stabile, guiding energy, strengthening the crystal’s effects and grounding the activation in the mountain’s energy.
Later, one of the team members told me about their experience, saying, “At that magic mountain, I felt like towards the end of the movie ‘Arrival,’ where the aliens talk in circles, and their whole thing is that time doesn’t exist. I got that experience when Miki was playing the crystal bowls. I’ve heard her play the crystal bowls many times, but this time it was hitting the bell, ringing, turning in a circle. It’s interesting because it’s like the same time from the beginning to the end in a circle. I heard it a few times. Time is everywhere, and time isn’t. That was a very beautiful end of the beginning of that experience.”
Another team member told me about her experience learning through holding the Galenith Crystal. During the activation, she had a profound vision. She saw that the whole cosmos was within the Galenith Crystal. Moments later she felt herself merging with the Galenith Crystal. She became one with her crystal. She was one with the whole cosmos. As she gazed in wonder at all of creation, the cosmos disappeared. It was just gone. Then she disappeared, and there was only the Galenith Crystal. Then the Galenith Crystal disappeared and there was nothing, absolutely nothing. There was only emptiness.
She realized that her union with the Galenith Crystal revealed the essence of emptiness, a state of pure being. Then the Galenith Crystal reappeared, yet it was still empty. Then she re-appeared, and was yet still empty in union with the crystal. Gradually, the whole cosmos reappeared, but it was void, reflecting the emptiness she felt within.
And then when Miki finalized the Joriel Crystal activation, the union she felt with the Galenith Crystal expanded into an even greater union with all the other Luminara crystals. In that transcendent moment, she experienced a higher realization of enlightenment, understanding that true unity and peace come from recognizing the emptiness that underlies all existence.
Before leaving, several team members who hadn’t attended the Paris Luminara activations approached me. They said that while they had read my Paris blog post and found it interesting, they couldn’t believe something so magical could actually happen. They expressed that experiencing it in person was mind-blowing and magical. They didn’t expect to see and feel the crystals so intensely, nor to experience the crystal pyramid and its power so vividly. And they were giddily happy about meeting elves, which they never thought they would actually see.
I agreed and added, “It’s one thing to read about these experiences, but to truly grasp their power and magic, one must be present. These moments are transformative, and being here allows us to connect with the energy and wisdom in a profound way. The sheer power and beauty of the activations, combined with the presence of the dragon and our magical allies, create an elevated experience of dharma.”
With this realization, a profound sense of serenity and peace enveloped the group. The unity we felt with the natural and mystical elements of this sacred place opened our hearts. Many of the participants in the team expressed a shared recognition of the deep interconnectedness of all beings and the amazing power of the group’s intention that we shared in this work.
We bowed in awe of our powerful experiences and left for Akureyri’s thermal baths with an amazing feeling of connection and accomplishment.
Day 2: July 13
Goðafoss (Waterfall of the Gods)
We began our second day of Luminara crystal activations at Goðafoss, one of Iceland’s most spectacular waterfalls. With a width of 100 feet, the waters at Goðafoss drop 40 feet into a serene pool below.
Upon arrival at Goðafoss, we were greeted by the breathtaking sight of the waterfall cascading down in a powerful display of nature. The mist rising from the roaring waters created a mystical atmosphere, catching the sunlight and forming rainbows that arched gracefully over the falls. The river, flowing from the highlands, added to the majestic scenery with its clear, glistening waters rushing towards the edge and plunging into the abyss below.
As we ventured up the river and settled along the bank, the spiritual tranquility of the place was palpable. The lush green surroundings and gently flowing river were picturesque. A gentle breeze from the West greeted us as we prepared for the Luminara crystal activations.
Miki began the activation of the Elixian Crystal. Just as she started a powerful gust of wind suddenly came from the East. It was the blessing of the great white dragon. The force was so strong it nearly blew me over. Miki’s crystal bowl travel holders were swept towards the river. Luckily, one of our team members was on it. In a flash, just as the singing bowl holds started to fly, Ijaya sprang into action. With incredible speed and agility, he sprinted over 200 meters to catch the bowl holders. He ran across the uneven terrain, dodging and leaping over rocks. Unwavering, he lunged forward, catching the holders just in time before they plunged into the river. We all applauded his swift action as he returned with the bowl holders in hand. Then, as abruptly as it started, the strong wind stopped, and the gentle Western breeze resumed, as if the great white dragon realized its “over-blessing” and eased its force.
We re-started the activation of the Elixian Crystal, promoting physical and spiritual rejuvenation. Miki’s light language was especially resonant, her voice carrying a unique melodic quality that seemed to vibrate with the essential energy of renewal. We all held the Luminara crystals in our minds to support Miki. Synchronizing with the water element, I could feel the power of the activation process.
As Miki sang, I felt waves of refreshing energy wash over me, filling me with a profound sense of renewal. It was as if the crystal’s essence intertwined with my being, revitalizing both my body and spirit. The harmonious vibrations created a deep connection with the natural world, leaving me feeling balanced, rejuvenated, and profoundly alive.
I then became aware of Pia. She was sitting behind our group with 12 elves and what appeared to be a family of 6 hidden people. The elves and the hidden people were new to the Luminara activations and had not been present the day before. Goðafoss was an hours drive from Akureyi. I had the feeling that Pia was introducing us to different groups of elves and hidden people based on their connection to the location.
I then invited my dragon to join us. She quickly appeared, flying over the river. My dragon is a sleek, white Asian dragon, about 30 feet long with interwoven streaks of different hues of blue and a little green running along her spine from the top of her head down to the tip of her long, whip-like tail.
She playfully went up and down the waterfall, all the while blessing the crystal with her dragon magic. The great white Icelandic dragon flew over to meet her, excitedly flying in tight circles around her. Then the blue dragon of Mt. Kurama appeared, shooting down like a blue lightning bolt. The three dragons interacted joyfully, with the great white dragon and the blue dragon playfully swirling around my dragon, creating an energetic display of harmony and joy.
Pia and the elves, along with the hidden people, watched the dragons with awe and delight. They looked quite happy to be in the presence of such powerful beings and seemed to be deeply connected to the unfolding events.
After the Elixian Crystal had been activated, Miki began to invoke the Galenith Crystal, which opens dimensions of joy and freedom. From the base of the waterfall, a black Icelandic dragon emerged, shining with greetings. Her home was behind the base of Goðafoss. As she flew over us with a welcoming energy, the rising dragon of Mt. Kurama and a green Icelandic dragon appeared.
The dragons flew around joyfully, each blessing the Luminara activation in their unique ways. The black dragon showered us with sparkling energy droplets that shimmered like water, enhancing the crystal’s power. The rising dragon of Mt. Kurama created swirling gusts of wind that carried our intentions far and wide, amplifying our power’s reach. The green Icelandic dragon spread a soothing, verdant light over the area, fostering a sense of deep peace and connection with nature.
My water dragon joined in, gracefully dancing through the air and the mist of the waterfall, weaving threads of shimmering blue light that intertwined with the energies of the other dragons. Her movements created a tranquil, flowing energy that seemed to cleanse and refresh the space. The blue dragon added to this magical display by emitting pulses of deep blue energy that resonated with the Elixian Crystal, amplifying its rejuvenating power and spreading a sense of profound serenity throughout the group.
Later, one of the team members told me about their extraordinary experience, saying, “As the dragons flew joyfully above, our focus on the crystals formed a magnificent pyramid of light. Miki ascended to the top of the pyramid and began to activate the Galenith Crystal. As she did, all of the dragons, shimmering in their unique colors, flew around her in a mesmerizing circle. The air was filled with vibrant energy as beams of light emanated from the crystal, connecting with each dragon. The vision of Miki, bathed in light and surrounded by majestic dragons, was breathtaking.”
Another team member described how the dragons’ movements synchronized with the crystal activation, creating a dynamic and harmonious dance of energy. The great white dragon emitted a soft, radiant glow, while the blue dragon of Mt. Kurama added flashes of electric blue light. The black and green Icelandic dragons brought elements of earth and water, grounding and amplifying the crystal’s power.
Another team member shared their experience, saying that she felt an overwhelming presence, with so much light and so many magical dragons around. She saw all the crystals merge into a magnificent crystal pyramid of light, with pulsating light at its center. The dragons’ pulses synchronized with the light, growing brighter and higher with each beat. When Miki activated the crystal atop the pyramid, the experience reached such a high dimension that all she felt was God and nothing else. The entire sky seemed to vibrate with the dragons’ energy, creating a celestial symphony of light and magic. She was enveloped in an ethereal glow. She felt a deep connection to the divine as the dragons’ colors intermingled, forming a radiant kaleidoscope of spiritual energy.
As the dragons soared and blessed our activations, we were left in awe. The Elixian Crystal’s rejuvenation and the Galenith Crystal’s joy resonated deeply within us. Watching the majestic dragons interact with the crystal’s energies was breathtaking. But as quickly as the dragons had come, they had gone, following the green dragon towards the highlands.
We felt a surge of excitement and wonder, eager for what lay ahead. Charged with anticipation, we couldn’t wait to head to our next destination for the next activation of the Luminara crystals.
The Red Hills Behind Lake Myvatn
The Red Hills behind Lake Myvatn are loved by our group for their vibrant red soil and alien landscape. The rolling hills, dotted sparsely with patches of flowering plants, provide a striking contrast against the blue of the lake.
Upon arrival, we were met with powerful gusts of wind. The great white dragon was still with us. As we ascended the hills, we were captivated by the expansive Mars-like landscape. The red hills rolled gently down, creating a marvelous contrast with
Lake Myvatn’s misty blue waters. The glowing, cloudy blue waters of Lake Myvatn stretched out in the distance, merging seamlessly with the sky, offering a breathtaking view that filled us with wonder.
We sat down and prepared for the last Luminara crystal activations through the great wind gusts. Miki, instead of using all of her singing bowls took out only her purple crystal bowl from Glastonbury. This one has a long handle and an uplifting magical sound. It was far too windy for Miki to work with the other singing bowls. They would have been blown away by the strong winds.
We began with the activation of the Ariah Crystal, known for enhancing wisdom and spiritual communication. Miki’s energy was serene and focused, despite the challenging conditions. Her light language resonated powerfully through the wind, and the single crystal bowl’s sound created an atmosphere of clarity and insight. Miki was strong and unwavering, her presence anchoring us as the team visualized our crystals, opened our hearts, and focused our intent.
The wind howled around us, but Miki’s determination and the crystal’s power kept us grounded. The activation process was intense and required all of our focus and strength. Despite the elements, we felt a deep strength forming, as if the very winds were amplifying the energy of our intentions.
I was able to see the power in the wind coming from the great white dragon. As the dragon flew around us, flapping his mighty wings, a force enveloped us in a powerful yet protective embrace. This energy not only strengthened our resolve but also infused the crystal activation with an otherworldly potency, elevating our efforts and deepening our connection to the mystical forces at play.
Next, Miki activated the Belanar Crystal, which promotes peace and reconciliation. Her light language took on a melodic tone, invoking feelings of inner harmony. The serene vibrations seemed to intertwine with the gusting winds, creating a powerful synergy that enveloped us in a sense of profound tranquility.
As we focused on our crystals to support Miki’s activation, there was a sudden shift—the winds stopped. Opening my eyes, I saw that the great white dragon had landed, settling down behind our group where Pia sat with two massive 30-foot-tall trolls and four elves.
I somehow knew that one of the elves was a leader and sensed a contention between the elves and trolls. Pia had brought them to help resolve their conflict. During the activation of the Belanar Crystal, which promotes peace and reconciliation, the crystal’s soothing energy enveloped both the elves and trolls. The leader of the elves felt the crystal’s calming influence, which helped dissolve lingering tensions and fostered a spirit of cooperation. The trolls, too, felt the peace and unity, leading to a harmonious resolution of their conflict. The experience with the Belanar Crystal bridged their differences, creating a newfound understanding and alliance.
Continuing with the activation, Miki’s light language took on a melodic, almost otherworldly tone. Each note seemed to resonate with the very essence of inner harmony. Miki’s voice, intertwined with the crystal bowl’s resonant sound, sent waves of serene vibrations through the air. These vibrations seemed to merge with the softened wind, creating a powerful synergy that enveloped us all in a sense of profound tranquility. The Belanar Crystal Miki held began to glow with a soft, ethereal light, spreading outward to form a shimmering aura around the group.
At the height of the activation, all of the Luminara crystals formed an energetic, multi-colored pyramid of light that connected with the power of the land, enriching it.
Later, one of the team members told me about her experience. In her mind, the crystals appeared as giant, spinning forms hovering above each of our heads. She watched as beams of light shot up from each crystal, converging at a distant point in the cosmos. In a magnificent display, the crystals merged into a single, multi-colored diamond. This union filled her with feelings of balance and harmony. Then, she envisioned a giant pyramid of light encompassing the entire Earth. At the end of this ethereal experience, she saw Miki ascending to the top of the pyramid of light, where she affixed her crystal, completing the beautiful, harmonious vision. This filled her with an overwhelming sense of love and peace.
As the pyramid solidified, it glowed with an array of colors—each hue representing a different crystal and its unique essence. The air around us thrummed with energy, a harmonious blend of all the virtues we had been cultivating: compassion, wisdom, innovation, peace, and unity.
The elves and trolls, who had initially harbored tensions, were now united in awe, their conflict dissolved by the crystal’s calming influence. Pia, with a serene smile, watched as the energies of peace and reconciliation flowed through the Belanar Crystal into the land.
After the activation of the Belanar Crystal we bowed deeply. The image of the radiant pyramid stayed with us, a structure of luminous dharma that we had brought into the world with endless possibilities for what lay ahead.
Seeing
After a short break, I offered the group a powerful seeing practice. The Red Hills are a place of power and an interesting place for seeing. It’s a place where you can do what I call “seeing things at different angles.” It’s like if you’re looking at a wall straight on and see no way through, it’s impossible to get to the other side. But if you turn your head and look at the wall at an angle, it enables you to notice the outline of a door that you can easily push to open. The Red Hills are a place like that, where impossible things can be seen as very possible.
I told the group that the last time I took a group of students there to do this seeing, they looked for ways to make more money. What resulted from that seeing increased the net worth of 80% of the sangha by 500 times. This was the seeing that created the shift for the ST3s and ST4s to focus on buying their homes rather than renting. So this place gets good results!
I taught the technique for seeing in that location. During the seeing exercise, I saw ways that I would be able to help elevate the European Circle of Power. I saw that there were certain cities that I would have to visit to activate some of the Pearls of the Dragon’s Garland.
For London, the pearl is the Sun Pearl, representing enlightenment, harmony, and truth. This symbolizes London’s role in spreading the light of reason, properness, and civility.
For Rome, the pearl is the Golden Pearl, embodying the source of all teachings and the cosmic essence of enlightenment. This aligns with Rome’s historical and spiritual significance as a center of ancient knowledge and religious influence.
For Florence, the pearl is the Rainbow Pearl, symbolizing love, compassion, and the blessings of enlightenment. Florence’s rich history in art and culture makes this pearl perfect for inspiring new waves of creative expression.
For Munich, the pearl is the Cloud Pearl, representing transformation and adaptability. Munich’s solid foundation in tradition and modern innovation makes this pearl ideal for fostering resilience and growth.
For Paris, the pearl is the Moon Pearl, symbolizing unity, acceptance, and global harmony. Paris, as a city of love and light, resonates deeply with this pearl, promoting peace and understanding among diverse cultures.
After the seeing practice, I had everyone reflect quietly on what they saw once everyone had a moment to internalize their experiences. From there, we descended to the luminous blue waters of the thermal baths. While soaking in the most beautiful thermal baths in the world, we shared our experiences, feeling rejuvenated, deeply connected, and simply happy to be.
Day 3: July 14
Hauganes
To begin the last day of the Luminara activations, we followed the directions of the Seven Siddhas and went to Hauganes, a serene village known for its tranquility and natural beauty. Sitting in a grassy field overlooking the beach, we gazed out across the fjord towards the snow-capped mountains. The gentle splashing of the waves added to the peaceful atmosphere as we prepared for the crystal activations.
We began by activating the Raya Crystal, which connects with Earth’s primal energies for ecological healing. Miki’s energy took on a new quality, radiant and grounding, as she started to gently strike the crystal singing bowls. I and the rest of the team focused to support Miki, holding the 11 other Luminara crystals in our minds and honing our intent.
As the activation progressed, I became aware of Pia and several elves and hidden people. These elves were unlike the other elves I had previously seen. They were small, no bigger than 6 inches, and had wings! They fluttered about excitedly as Miki began her light language. Pia played her crystal harp, her presence adding a beautiful mystical harmony.
Later, one of the team members told me about their experience holding the Luminae Crystal. He described feeling the crystal’s power merging with the landscape, culminating in a moment where he felt completely integrated with both the crystal and the place. He noted that the energy flow between the crystal and the surroundings was so seamless that he could no longer distinguish between his own essence and that of the environment, creating a profound sense of unity and harmony.
Next, Miki began to activate the Hyliara Crystal, anchoring the power of divine love and heavenly peace. Miki’s energy shifted again, embodying a nurturing and compassionate essence. Miki’s aura began to open, unfolding to reveal and extend the light and power of Kuan Yin. At that moment, it was as if Miki had disappeared and the goddess of compassion herself was sitting before us, singing to bring peace to all beings of the world.
Then the soft, luminous glow of Miki’s light enveloped the group, creating an atmosphere of serenity. The Hyliara Crystal’s light intertwined with Miki’s voice, sending waves of light and love through the group. I could feel the crystal’s essence merging with my heart, instilling a deep sense of peace. The entire landscape seemed to vibrate with this divine energy.
Later, one of the team members told me about their experience, saying, “During the activation, I felt a profound connection to the earth’s energy, feeling a deep alignment with the crystal Miki was activating. Then I experienced an overwhelming sense of cosmic unity, as if I were part of a vast, interconnected net of conscious light.”
Another one of the team members told me about a similar experience. During the activation, he became aware of an energetic alignment Miki had created from the that location, through the crystal — to be in a cosmic connection with Vega. The alignment brought him into what he called “cosmic harmony”, enveloping him in a state of salvakalpa samadhi, a profound and blissful meditative state where he felt completely at one with the universe.
Another team member told me that she was holding the Raya Crystal in her heart chakra. Then she saw Pia come to her. Smiling, Pia reached into her heart to help. She felt as if the Raya Crystal expanded, filling the whole world with it’s power. It was an exhilarating feeling that she could see Pia felt too. Together, they sat beaming at one another, filled with joy and elation. Then she saw, in her mind, all of us forming a radiant pyramid of light, with Miki at the pinnacle, activating the crystal in a breathtaking flash of beautiful golden light.
After the activations, we sat in gratitude, feeling a deep sense of unity and connection with the natural elements. We were moved by the transformative power of the activations, feeling a profound sense of peace and purpose. Before leaving we bowed in appreciation for the support and presence of the hidden people and elves, feeling their tangible energy and assistance. With hearts full of sublime peace, we left for the final activation.
Útsýnispallur
We journeyed on to Útsýnispallur, a place known for its stunning vistas and spiritual tranquility. At Útsýnispallur, we were greeted by the breathtaking sight of a grassy hill that seemed to roll gently down before ending at a cliff 50 feet above the beach. The grass appeared to merge seamlessly with the ocean, creating a mesmerizing illusion of green meeting blue. The view from the cliff was expansive. We took in the vastness of the sea stretching out to the horizon, with waves crashing gently against the shoreline below.
After settling in, we began with the activation of the Luminae Crystal, which opens divine dimensions of serenity and well-being. Miki’s energy was gentle yet powerful, her light language and singing bowls creating an atmosphere of deep peace. I and the rest of the team worked to support Miki by holding the rest of the Luminara crystals in our minds and focusing our intent.
As the activation began, I immediately became aware of Pia. She brought with her a great host of elves, far more than there were on the first day at the botanical garden. There were many invisible people as well. They were all dressed formally, the men-folk wearing jackets and stringy bowties. The hidden ladies wore beautiful gowns and flowers in their hair. There too were trolls, and of two sizes, a group of 5-foot trolls and two large 30-foot tall trolls. Around Pia was a flurry of the little pixie elves, flying around her excitedly. And not to be overlooked, was the great white dragon, sprawled out behind the great assembly.
Pia began to sing with Miki. Their voices together were ethereal and melodious. I realized that their unified voices were not just creating harmony and dissonance, but also flowing with and extending the power of the Luminae Crystal. From them, the energy of the crystal flowed out as infinitely as our view of the North Sea.
During this activation, I felt a profound connection to the Earth and the energies of the entire world. It was as if my being was in sync with the heartbeat of the planet, deeply feeling its rhythms and flow. Simultaneously, I experienced a sense of cosmic unity, linking the world to higher dimensions. This cosmic connection felt like a bridge between the physical and the spiritual realms, a harmonious link from where I could extend my awareness and power.
Later, one of the team members told me about his experience, saying, “During the activation, I felt a profound sense of calm wash over me. The soothing vibrations from Miki’s singing bowls resonated deep within, dissolving all tensions. It was as if the crystal’s essence merged with my own, creating a powerful connection between mind, body, and spirit. The entire group seemed to be enveloped in a cocoon of tranquility, amplifying our power.”
Next, we began the final Luminara activation. Miki began to invoke the Daevas Crystal for sharing profound wisdom and insight. Miki’s energy had shifted again, becoming more profound and elevated than I had ever seen. Through Miki was extended the power of Sanata Kumara, the light of Bisha-Monten, the compassion of Senju-Kannon, the wisdom of Isis, and the blessings of Kuan Yin. Miki’s light language acted as the Archangel Michael, cutting away harmful connections. Like St. Germain, her song created a violet flame, purifying the hearts of all present and charging the Luminara crystals with enlightened energy.
From Miki’s singing bowls, a deep, resonant energy filled the air, transforming the atmosphere into one of profound clarity. Miki’s voice carried in it a timeless wisdom, each note resonating with the Daevas Crystal’s power. Then came a surge of luminous insight, as if ancient truths were being unveiled. The group’s focus on all of the Luminara crystals amplified this energy, creating a powerful vortex of colored light, revealing the secrets of the dharma.
Later, one of the team members told me about his experience, saying, “During the activation, Miki’s light language took on a melodic, almost otherworldly tone. Each note seemed to resonate with the very essence of inner harmony. Miki’s voice, intertwined with the crystal bowl’s resonant sound, sent waves of serene vibrations through the air. These vibrations seemed to merge with the softened wind, creating a powerful synergy that enveloped us all in a sense of tranquil purity.”
The Daevas Crystal Miki held began to glow with a soft, ethereal light, spreading outward to form a shimmering aura around the group. As the crystal’s light expanded, something extraordinary happened. The other Luminara crystals we had activated throughout our journey started to respond. Connecting through lines of light, each crystal emerged, their energies converging above us. The Fyrial Crystal’s compassion, the Kaelum Crystal’s innovation, the Cerendiel Crystal’s ascension, and all the others joined in a radiant dance of light and color.
The energies from the crystals began to form beams of light, shooting upwards and converging at a single point high above us. As Miki continued her invocation, the beams intertwined, weaving a structure of pure light. Slowly, a magnificent pyramid began to take shape. Its base was colorful, like a sparkling rainbow, and fused the mystical energies of the land. Its peak reached towards the cosmos, becoming white, clear, and shiny.
The great white dragon, sensing the monumental culmination, breathed a great blast of fire into the air, with a powerful roar that echoed across the hills. This call summoned the other dragons we had encountered. The blue dragon from Mt. Kurama shot down from the sky, and the black dragon of Goðafoss emerged from the sea along with my white water dragon. The rising dragon of Mt. Kurama flew up from the beach, high into the sky where it met the green dragon of the highlands.
Each dragon began to shine, embodying one of the locations where we had done the Luminara activation earlier. As I looked at my water dragon, I could see the calm shores of Hauganes on her as if she were standing in front of a movie projector. When I looked to the black dragon, I could see the flowing waters of her waterfall home at Goðafoss. Looking at the green dragon, I saw the botanical garden. Looking at the rising dragon, I saw the magical mountain of Vaðlaheiði. Looking at the blue dragon, I saw the red hill behind Lake Myvatn. When I looked to the great white dragon, I saw him as transparent, embodying Útsýnispallur.
Then all of the dragons flew into the pyramid of Útsýnispallur. At that moment all of the crystal pyramids of light from each of the Luminara locations joined and became one.
A team member recounted his experience of this, saying, “At one point, the dragons held the pyramids of all the Luminara locations and began to fly, circling the pyramid we had just created. One by one, the dragons flew through the center of the pyramid, connecting all pyramids as one.”
Another team member told me about her experience, saying. “I saw all of the dragons in the other Luminara locations. They were holding the crystal pyramids of that location, then they flew here and all of the pyramids became one. I saw that it was the same for all of us. We each carried the crystal pyramids of each Luminara location within our hearts, and now, at the final activation, all of the pyramids are one.”
As the great pyramid solidified, it glowed with an array of colors—each hue representing a different crystal and its unique essence. The elves and hidden people and trolls were united in awe. Pia played her crystal harp and sang, as the energies of Luminara crystals flowed through the pyramid and into the land.
As Miki finalized the activation, the pyramid of light reached its zenith. The apex of the pyramid radiated a brilliant beam of light that shot into the sky, an energetic line connecting to the cosmos. At that moment, everything seemed to pause. The wind stilled, the dragons hovered, and we were all enveloped in a profound silence filled with the hum of cosmic vibrations.
In that silence, we felt a deep connection to the earth and the universe. The Luminara crystals were activated. The pyramids of light were one. It was a powerful affirmation that our mission had been successful.
Later, one of the team members told me about their experience, saying, “I felt like I was witnessing the birth of a new era. The pyramid of light was not just a spiritual vision, but a living entity of pure energy, connecting us all to the higher realms.”
When we were done, we bowed deeply. The pyramid slowly vanished, infusing into the land and sky. We were left with a profound sense of dharmic unity and accomplishment. The final activation was complete, and with it, we had forged a spiritual structure of peace and harmony for the benefit of Iceland, all of Europe, and the world.
The Blue Pearl
After taking a short break, I spoke about my work with the Dragon’s Garland. I shared that the Seven Siddhas had foretold that a member of my old Buddhist school should be the bearer of the Blue Pearl.
The Blue Pearl is the tonal of the dharma. It is the container from which wisdom and enlightened insight can be accessed. Rather than spiritual rantings (even if authentic), the Blue Pearl is enlightened communication and structured courses. Rather than haphazard meetings, the Blue Pearl is organized events, arranged meetings, and planned outings. Rather than a loose or unorganized spiritual community, the Blue Pearl is a structured sangha.
This organization ensures a consistent, supportive environment, enhances spiritual growth, fosters deeper connections, provides clear guidance, and delivers a comprehensive, systematic approach to learning and practice for its members. Given my old Buddhist school’s dedication to enlightenment, I could see that it was fitting for them to possess the Blue Pearl.
The sangha having the Blue Pearl would elevate each member and the collective wisdom of the group, strengthening everyone’s dharma practice and enlightened awareness. It would foster deeper spiritual connections among members, creating a more unified and supportive community. It would also improve the dissemination of dharma teachings, making them more accessible and impactful. This empowerment would enable the sangha to share and spread the dharma more effectively, promoting Buddhist wisdom, compassion, and enlightenment worldwide.
I announced that I would be giving the Pearl to Atman. Initially, I thought it would be someone from Nayana, the Sangha leadership committee, or Tao, the sangha CFO. However, the Seven identified Atman for his exceptional management skills. He has successfully managed complex events with hundreds of attendees, handling all travel logistics and addressing necessary issues.
Atman can hold all critical details in his mind to ensure everything runs smoothly. His foresight in planning ensures that potential issues are addressed before they arise. His talent for strategic thinking allows him to navigate complex situations effectively. And his ability to remain calm under pressure enables him to work smartly through great opposition. The Seven joked that our Buddhist master, Ram Rinpoche, never had a student like Atman and had to hire an entire event planning firm to do what Atman does single-handedly.
The Seven also warned that Atman must wield the Pearl with complete selflessness, or the Blue Pearl would fall away. They said he must approach managing the tonal of the sangha with open-heartedness, accepting everyone, including all in the dharma, and communicating with care and kindness. I humorously told Atman that he’s like an excellent wedding planner, with sangha events as his weddings to plan, and that the sangha members are like his demanding “Bridezillas” who constantly change plans and demand perfection.
Atman’s capabilities align perfectly with the Blue Pearl’s essence. His work upholds the dharma of the Pearl for the sangha and the world, ensuring enlightened communication and harmonious organization.
After speaking of the Blue Pearl, we sat in meditation for a few minutes and I transferred the Blue Pearl to Atman. I elevated to the high, enlightened domain where the Dragon’s Garland lies and opened the doorway. Atman and all in the group entered that enlightened realm with me. I reached to the Dragon’s Garland and retrieved the Blue Pearl, shining with power. I offered it to Atman. He saw it immediately and accepted it into his heart. Then we sat in silence, appreciating the profound significance, beauty, and importance of this dharma for all of us and the world.
Before leaving, we took some time to integrate the powerful energies we had experienced. Then we inwardly honored the land with great appreciation in our hearts. Lastly, we inwardly bowed to our new allies, Pia and the magical beings of Iceland.
Conclusion
Our journey through Iceland, filled with magical encounters, profound activations, and deep spiritual insights, culminated in a powerful realization of unity and harmony. The Luminara crystals, activated with the support of mystical beings and the natural elements, created a network of spiritual elevation and ecological balance. As we prepared for the final activations in Budapest, we carried with us the transformative energies and profound connections forged in the mystical landscapes of Iceland.
Together, we have woven a tapestry of light and harmony, fostering global unity and spiritual elevation. Our mission, built upon the foundation of love, compassion, and enlightenment, continues to spread its resonance, guiding us towards a future of global peace, harmony, and ecological balance.
