About the star:
Vega, also designated Alpha Lyrae (α Lyrae), is the brightest star in the constellation of Lyra, the second brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere after Arcturus. Is is one of our closest stars, at only 25 light years from the Sun. Each night the position of the stars appear to change as the Earth rotates. However, when a star is located along the Earth's axis of rotation, it will remain in the same position and thus be called a 'pole' star. The direction of the Earth's rotation gradually changes over time in a process known as the precession of the equinoxes. A complete precession cycle requires 25.770 years during which time the pole of the Earth's rotation follows a cirular path across the celestial sphere. At present, the pole star is Polaris. Vega was the northern pole star around 12,000 BC and will be so again in the year 13,727. Vega is the brightest of the successive northern pole stars. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vega |

About "Vega":
While all the other starsongs featured one star (or star cluster) in its relationship with the Earth, as I devoted myself to honoring Vega, it unexpectedly became the 'ring leader' for a vast array of stars---literally hundreds of stars---that began pouring through me as the song progressed. In the moment, I understood that these stars were all committed to going 'where the Earth wants to go' for a brighter future. There was an intense, loving and deeply healing 'dialogue' between the Earth and these stars as more were pulled in, welcomed, and added their light for Gaia and all life that she supports in the journey ahead. I remembered that astronomically, Vega is indeed predicted to be our pole star 14,000 years from now: Earth's axis will then be pointed toward Vega rather than Polaris. Though it was a total surprise to see all those stars working together, the lesson clear: to get to that future, Vega can't do it alone---quite literally, the journey ahead depends on all those stars too. This starsong sings to the promising future of life on Earth and our journey to get there as a species by honoring the song of the One---the song of creation woven through all beings. And, as above so below: we humans need to learn to honor our interdependence with greater harmony at a collective level as well. The beginning of this sound journey features a long drumming introduction for clearing, followed by a second drumming song that is a devotional honoring of ‘The One’: unconditional love as the center point of our unity consciousness, inviting the peace of deeply knowing your place in the world. An interesting song followed that was a birthing song, a ‘cutting through’ with a rattle to clear us from those lessons from the past we don’t need to repeat (of endless suffering, of living from fear), and a welcoming of the direct healing light of life force from so many stars. Track 5 “The Many in the One” brings a multidimensional healing for our individual, planetary and cosmic journey. It is a crooning, lullaby-like song from Vega to us all, that brings waves of relief and peace. The final track (“Vega”) is a multi-dimensional download of from Vega: a ‘seed’ for a brighter (literally) future, ending in a potent stillness and infinite peace within. This recording provides an array of blessings, and support for healing at all levels. |
