THE SUMMER OF DISCONTENT

Hello again. I haven't posted anything for a while because I have been involved in my own personal voyage of change. I have found that some days are pretty bumpy and perhaps you have had the same experience. Life really feels as though it's speeding up, the stakes seem to get higher every day and there is plenty of drama to go around. I have heard it said that the Chinese character for "crisis" is a combination of the words danger and opportunity, although I think the literal translation is closer to "precarious moment". That would certainly describe where many of us feel we are, sort of like trying to balance on the head of a pin.

The harmonic conversion in 1987 was a turning point in this. Many intuitive people received a calling that earth would undergo a metamorphosis and to prepare for an apococalyptic event that would occur by 2012. Some took that to mean that the sky was about to fall or that a real Y2K was upon us or that the closing of the Maya calendar meant that the end of time was actually the end of us. A lot of really wild explanations have been circulating.

I think it's true that a kind of precarious moment is upon us but I see the dramatic events unfolding on the world stage as having their source within us, internally, at the soul level. That's where the real action is happening as we make the shift to 5th dimensional consciousness. This has been planned for eons and now the stage is set for the Mother of new beginnings.

We are all stressed to the max and many of us do not know who we are anymore, where we are headed or what's next! People just feel strange, empty and unconnected, full of unknown anxiety. Some feel exhausted and unable to sleep and others are experiencing short term memory loss, flu-like symptoms, joint and muscle pain, digestive problems....the list goes on and on. These things aren't permanent and as we move into a higher vibration, most will feel them lift away, much like an ascending hot air balloon.

In order to get there, we have to get in touch with our own issues by cleaning up and clearing out the old thought forms we have created, physically, mentally and emotionally. It's almost like peeling layer after layer of an onion, until we get to the core.

IT IS TIME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FUTURE BY CLEANING UP YOUR ACT, AS WE FINISH 2009 AND MOVE INTO 2010

If you can't face your present reality, it is because you can't face all the things you have created, and it's time to get help!! Connect with friends or family, if need be. Perhaps the opposite is true for you and you need to begin setting new boundaries and letting go of people and situations that no longer serve your higher purpose. Or, do it through meditation and prayer, if that floats your boat. Get in touch with your SELF in whatever way you can. Get into your inner heart, be quiet and do not resist change or upheaval. Stop trying to control your life, instead, begin to flow with it. Use your intuition rather than thinking so much.

By fall of this year I see many will be peeking out from their inner sanctums, as we close out the year with several months of action. By doing the clean up work now, you won't feel as much fear and you will be ready to take more steps into the flow. You are in the process of reorganizing, clearing and healing your inner self and when you do that, you will to see the results reflected all around you. You will find that you can balance quite well....on the head of a pin!

GUILT

We are often experts in guilt. Certainly we have learned it from masters. We unquestioningly and with great doggedness go about our assigned tasks without a grumble or a reproach. We are armed, however, with our sighs, our clenched teeth, our pathetic looks of "acceptance," and our sagging shoulders. Our favorite phrase is "That's okay," and we really don't mean it. One of our greatest skills is suffering, and we do it so well.

*We get our pound of flesh, and we lose our souls in the process. That's a high trade-off. ahhh

A mind in action, but always putting himself to the test. Needs relationships. Sagittarius is optimistic and buoyant, and goes after what he wants, although very democratic and has friends in all walks of life. An explorer and traveler; the sportsman of life. Can't keep any secrets. All of these signs like to be at the head of things in a position of authority, but eternally optimistic and young in spirit. They have control factors and for this reason, they like to work for themselves to the point of rashness. Willful and proud and head strong!. Most fire signs cannot do menial jobs.

SCORPIO- I seek myself through what I desire (I desire)

*******************************************************************************************

These emotional watery signs have a nature that can't let go of accounts when wrong. Too sensistive to all feelings psychic and very impressionable. Hardly lets anything go when the discussion is finished.

Very faithful in love which is a combination that makes for happiness in marriage for Pisces and Cancer but not for Scorpios. They..can be tyrants! However, they love and play more passionately than any other sign in the zodiac. Some are extremely over-indulgent and jealous with an appetite that can be all consuming. The shrewed energetic ones are capable of hard work. Fighting uphill tires all of you guys out, but you are all kind and have a magnetic and compelling attraction to all. Also with par excellence for sex appeal, artsy and gutsy magnetism which facinates others with a strong constitution.

PRAYER FOR PISCES*

Dear lord, thank you for the infinite compassion that I feel within me, your gift from the universe; the experience of creative magic. Help me to conquer disillusionment as practical goals are clearly in my sight. Help me to set boundaries and strip the guilt from my being so that through right action and inner harmony can spring from my nature.

PRAYER FOR CANCER*

I express my emotions outwardly and directly in the moment or as they occur. I enjoy trying new experiences. I feel security in my changeability and not to be over protective. If I fearful or insecure help me to enjoy my home, family and love ones. These are the bonds that nourish me. Help me to be still and listen to the voice within so I have the courage to let go of past attachments and disappointments.

PRAYER FOR SCORPIO*

I know where I stand, but help me to soften. My sense of humor becomes lighter and not everything has to be my way. Let me relax my body as I let go of anger, resentment, and possessiveness.

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON

We have come to think of our bodies as nonexistant and often experience little below our necks. Some of us even spend most of our time "out of our bodies". Instead of seeing our bodies as allies and sources of important information, we have come to see them as vehicles that torment us, and we use them as objects. We have forgotten the way they move and the joy we feel when moving them.
IT'S TIME TO MOVE BACK IN AND MOVE ON*

BACK TO THOUGHT FORMS

Your brain is a marvel. It sees images and remembers them. This three pound organ collects all kinds of information from which it can analyze, compare, measure, sort and more. Imagine...everythought, feeling, experience you've ever had is stored in there.

Research has proven that electrical impulses in the brain are chemically induced; that they are basically controlled by our thoughts! That's amazing because maybe it means that we really do have the power to change our mood and attitude; the way we approach life, from negative to positive; possibly even our makeup at a cellular level. Maybe all those thoughts are the power by which we mentally produce our experiences outside ourselves. If so, maybe by changing our thoughts, we can change ourselves and our experiences for the better.

I know those things are true. I also know that our memories include not just this lifetime but many others. And I know we have the power to recollect our divine origin, along with the ability to consciously remember our original oneness with spirit.

That's all fine and good as far as the positive thoughts and experiences are concerned but what about the negative ones? There are lots of them stored too and you have to wonder how they affect things at a cellular level, right on up to producing the kinds of experiences we have outside ourselves. No one wants to repeat negative experiences over and over again, yet we do.

I have written before about what a single thought can do; it has power and takes form. If one thought form is drawn to another, it get bigger. If they are charged with intense emotion and formed with clarity, they can last forever, or at least until we transform them.

You can and do take it with you, but you don't have to.

1. Re-think what you are thinking. Don't let those stray thoughts go flying this way and that, creating who knows what kind of chaos.
2. Re-think what you are feeling.
3. Change your "fright syndrome" to building up your power with joy and love. Change the feeling the opposite way: from hate to love, from sadness to joy.
4. Change the negative thought form into a positive one.
5. Build it tighter and higher, as you see beauty within you. Feel it!
6. See yourself surrounded by harmony, joy, peace and abundance.
7. Or......whistle a happy tune and sing to yourself.

Be up, positive, and with love you will be drawn to spiritually complementary forces. creating a large and powerful vortex of healing energy that can positively change you and those around you.

People of great faith pray for miracles can definitely be drawn to you if the thinking is clearly directed. Know exactly what you want. Be focused on "seeing" the desired outcome.

HOW TO BE UNHAPPY

Think about all the mistakes you have made in your life. Of all the foolish things you have said or done. Think about all of the opportunities you've screwed up on. Remind yourself of all the unkind things that have been said or done to you. Free yourself by first recollecting all of the gloominess when things did not go well. Put all these feeling s into the biggest bucket your mind can think of. Keep throwing these anxieties away whether it be from 30, 15, or 2 years ago. (I'll show you how later on). Put a huge plastic garbage bag over it for the sanitation collector to throw in the town dump and free your mind as the truck pulls away.

NOW - Think about yourself and how much you have gained, and learned from all these experiences which have toughened you. Sit down for fifteen minutes and think about yourself and all the wonderful things you have and love about yourself.

You have to break up the old mental concept and carefully build a new one, just an old building has to be torn down before a new one can go up on the same site. During the treatment, carefully build up a new mental structure. Brick by brick devoted to where you are now and the thoughts and choices of your future. Don't knock down what you have already built. If you constantly beat yourself up and change your thought patterns, you will wreck your mind instead of renewing it.

Your mind is your laboratory. To be negative, inconsistent, and slovenly in your mental life is to insure trouble and failure. The negative thought patterns you have, the fears, doubts and resentments, are to be starved out of existence by refusing to feed them with the attention upon which they live.

Thoughts nourished in love, harmony and peace, with practice, bring about the spirit of happiness within your soul. We reap as we sow and as we think good things, our corresponding limitations will follow it. This reaping takes time. Everyone wants what they want in a year or two or less, but since we do not live forever somewhere - 1 year, 2 or 30 years is a short time to pay for permanent results. This is what spiritual advancement is all about. Nature takes her time and we must not measure our earth time either. We would not be in the predicaments we live in now if we cared before. Yes, indeed, your thoughts are your life......

SIX STEPS TO MANIFESTING

#1. Proclaim it..take control, clear your mind, and set your sights on success. Let your intuition help you get to the root of your intention. Know what you want and don't settle for less. Focus on your intention and desire. Basically say...This is what I want!

#2. Affirm It.. This is a process that is crucial whether your information be written affirmation, or just say what you want out loud. Saying words out loud and or writing it all down is very powerful. A stated declared intention you must shout out to the universe! ask for your needs easily as you state your wants clearly, positively, and confidently.

#3. Satisfy It..this is a ritual that you create that satisfies your intention and get into a sacred space that is yours and yours alone to enhance your thoughts properly with conviction.

#4. Energize It!.. In this step you prepare your body, mind and spirit to receive what you have requested. But this one literally focuses every part of your being toward your goal by gathering your psychic and spiritual energy. Even though energizing may imply a forceful action, our energy must be contained to manifest. It must be harnessed to build strength. Do not scatter your thinking. Breathe..breathing calms you down, concentrates your energy, slows down your body processes and makes it easy for you to enter a light alpha state of relaxation. It gets you ready for your meditation and visualization.

#5. Invoke it.. Let the universe know you are sending out this cosmic e-mail. Sending a clear message through word and action. This invocation summons the power to your aid. Once you call upon it, nothing can stop you! Do your visualization meditation.

#6. Give thanks for it..your ritual is not complete..nor is your message properly sent to the universe until you give thanks to the source of your joy, the very power that makes it happen for you. Just demonstrate a grateful heart. Send it out in a safe and loving way, ask for the highest good for all concerned. I give thanks, it is done!!

Crystals are better thank baking cookies in the oven to sell your home. They really do give it "buy me" appeal.

Then, set the conditions through prayer that the sale of your home be in the best interest to seller and buyer.

If it is not to uncomfortable, lie on them till the tub is filled up, then push them to the side while you do a few breathing exercises together with arm and leg movements. This will balance your sensitivity and help to clear energy blocks.

MAKING LOVE IS FUN IN A CRYSTAL BED
