Willing water to fall from heaven | Northland News | Local News in Northland

A former Whangarei woman is calling on geomancers, rainmakers and other earth healers to help bring water to the parched Far North - and she says the general public could pull their weight a bit, too.

 Elistra claims to understand why the Far North is suffering a drought. There has been  too much argy-bargy, bickering, wasting, wanting and wheedling about water - a very negative stance for people expecting life-giving manna from heaven, she believes.

It would help if everyone took a moment to reflect on their attitudes. "The people up north could have just linked in their collective consciousness, but they didn't, therefore the law of intention hasn't been there - and nor is the rain," says Elistra.

"This is a free-will planet. Unless you ask, it's against the universal law of free will to simply expect intervention."

But even asking can be a bit rich at times. "The universe is sick of being told what people need or want. It's a very negative approach. People should be thinking 'I love the rain', not 'I need the rain'," Elistra said.

"We should be saying 'we value water for the energy and goodness it brings'. But there is this situation of blame and anger and politics around the water issue up north, and now there is not enough water. We create our own reality."

Elistra has not been sitting around waiting for the collective will to power-up, though; she's been busy putting the message out there on her own. Sadly, she couldn't do a ceremony at her preferred site, Spirits Bay -  she  couldn't get  there during her short trip to visit family in Whangarei. But her ceremony will work almost as well, she believes.

For maximum effect, everyone who cares about the Far North's water problem should meditate  and try to harness the collective will and energy, Elistra said. Just 10 minutes a day would help.

Eventually, the earth  and the universe will get in tune,  and the  universe - whether some call it God, a Goddess, or another name - will provide.

When Elistra isn't helping dampen the heat in the Far North, she studies and teaches metaphysics, and communes with dolphins and whales near her home on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. She says she has taught Aboriginal people  about rain dancing and has doused forest fires in Canada by calling up a massive snow dump, in summer.
