While meditating, I received a strong impression for the area in the large red circle. (Ignore the small red circle in North Africa and the brown circles, they came with the image.) Off the coast of Ecuador came to mind. It appears that intense energy is building up there, along the western bulge of South America. It appears to be dead center of a 2-dimensional leyline pyramid, and the rough center (favoring west) of a 3-dimensional leyline pyramid covering all of upper South America, Central America, and the Caribbean. I sensed disturbances in the Caribe as well.
I did a bit of research. The Nazca plate, which runs off-shore along the western coast of South America, does touch the Caribbean plate (map below). If the Nazca plate were to subduct under the Pacific plate to the west, that would affect the Caribbean. However, the Nazca plate could subduct under the South American plate (that's what builds the Andes Mountains) and still hit the Caribbean. Tectonic bumper cars. How it will play out is anyone's guess as there are many factors and many working to mitigate those factors.
For four years, I have had my attention directed to this area... seeing a tsunami approaching South America's west coast from above the clouds, doing training missions to help the people in the Andes, recall of earthquake measurement missions -- one in a tropical jungle, another on the ocean floor -- even seeing two eights (large, one in a quilted fabric, another in a different fabric, both blue though different shades and separated by a bit of space--indicating they were read 8...8, not 88) a day or so before the 8.8 Chile earthquake.
If I may be so bold as to say again (I said it in 2010), South America will be the area that the first major tectonic event happens. This is the event of which the world will sit up and take notice.

Kim, I don't know. I was interrupted but am continuing to research it.
Sure, Peter. I love to learn. This is a good lesson.
Wow - great research - thanks Cheryl.
Thanks for the info, Cheryl. I wonder why the slower moving ones would create larger tsunamis.
And, wrapping up this study session, here is a diagram of the Peru-Chile Trench:
More interesting information: there is indication that earthquakes north of latitude 10S are more capable of producing slow-moving earthquakes, which produce what is called metatsunamis. Latitude 10S is approximately midway between the western-most point of the western bulge and where the bulge ends.
"The efficiency of tsunami generation by crustal uplift during an earthquake is controlled by the speed at which the rupture (the actual break in the fault) propagates down the fault. Research indicates that earthquakes with slow rupture velocities are the most efficient tsunami generators, and earthquakes with the slowest rupture velocities are actually called tsunami earthquakes. Due to their tsunamigenic efficiency, a relatively low magnitude tsunami earthquake is capable of generating a very large tsunami. This fact makes tsunami earthquakes particularly dangerous to coastal communities located near areas of subduction zones prone to earthquake of this type."
...
"Could it be that the subduction zone north of 10º south latitude typically generates slow earthquakes that produce large tsunamis? The data suggest that this is possible, but the data are sparse, and will not support such a broad conclusion at this time."

The point being the potential is there for a metatsunami.
Peter, here's some information about an 8.5 tsunami following an earthquake along the border of Peru and Chile that impacted New Zealand: http://www.usc.edu/dept/tsunamis/peru/ptsu_1868.html.
I would also think an uplift would produce a tsunami. A good question for a geologist.
Well, Sandra, I'm expecting it. When, exactly, I don't know.
Peter, a year or so ago, I had a lot of attention on Fiji, but nothing right now. And, yes, it will freak the world out. I learned yesterday in my research that the largest recorded earthquake was a 9.5 in southern Chile.
I also learned that about 100 miles off the western coast of South America is the Peru-Chile Trench. It is the boundary of the subducting Nazca plate and the overriding South American plate. That (monster) trench has a maximum depth of 26,460 feet and is 3,666 miles long, with a mean width of 40 miles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peru-Chile_Trench.
I found another article quite interesting, because it seems to contradict some ZT on this topic. From my blog, "South America Is Getting Ready To Roll," the ZT said "Cheryl had the sense of a dark line moving toward the Andes, representing a tsunami as the roll will push down the Nazca Plate such that water will drop into it and then have no place to go except toward the S American spine."
Now, compare the ZT scientific explanation to this explanation from the University of Southern California's Tsunami Research Group: "Tsunamis in this area of the world originate due to seismic activity associated with the Peru-Chile Trench, located approximately 100 - 200 kilometers off the Peruvian coast. At this latitude, the Peru-Chile trench is the site of subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate. As with the other subduction zones of the world, the extreme compressive forces on the landward side of the trench produce reverse faults in the crust of the over-riding plate. Motion along these reverse faults during earthquakes uplift large sections of the sea floor, which produces tsunamis." http://www.usc.edu/dept/tsunamis/peru/.
Now, I've never studied geology and tsunamis, but it seems like an uplift would be more likely to produce a tsunami than a drop. What do you think?
I agree with you Sandra. Look at the activity of the quakes on the caribbean plate in the past several years. This does say, problems with the nazca plate that is for sure. All of the information above speaks truth.
If this South American tectonic event is going to be the event that the world will sit up and take notice I would assume it is going to be a very large event - even larger than the 8.8 Chilean earthquake.
Does this event include the tsunami you have described approaching South America's west coast? If yes, then this would indicate that the epi-centre is off the west coast of South America and therefore the tsunami will spread in all directions across the Pacific.
Cheryl, have you had visions of other pacific countries being affected by this tsunami? In particular, New Zealand and/or Australia?
