TAROT FOR THE WEEK

Although this week is virtually over, I was reluctant to send out this depressing card and news. I found it a week of emotional struggle in getting things done and movement of all kinds.
I know, you all feel we are controlling nothing!! Your'e right! However, the good news is..we can't fly with the flock! All of us are on our very own journey and trying to get out of the place we don't want to be in.. While desire even feels lost, maybe what makes you feel good is resting, doing very little thinking, and not caring about accomplishing anything. (there, I said it) That too, is a good thing to allow new feelings and new energies to set in and birth. Just be in touch with your spirit and resting this month out and not over thinking will be pleasure enough. Just stay on course...............

LOOSEN UP!!

Don't you feel that our physical bodies need re-balancing or recalibrating? Strange feelings are inside of us, energy rushes, and crashes. We don't feel the same do we? Or energies seem to be rising and falling also some mood swings? So, if you feel tired, sleep! When feeling energized, move! Our bodies are trying to catch up with these energetic and accelerated times. The next few months we will experience in the process to dissolve all calcified patterns in our system. Try acupuncture, massage therapies, reflexology, or any other method to get your energies moving. Perhaps good "motivating" anger is the force that helps to move you ahead...or forward!

WHAT IF MY CRAZY DREAM COMES TRUE?

After watching Bernie Madoff on the news leaving for jail the other day,(you know, the man who made off with $$$$$) I shook my head before going to bed as I viewed this man's behavior on TV with total lack of emotion. I thought..this man is not without a plan!! I awoke, from my dream at 4AM and had a glimpse of what he has in mind.

First off, his money is stockpiled, sorted out in different places and put to safety. In jail, he treated some attendants ,or jailors, with steak dinners. (you know, they could be bought)

He intends to have a heart attack and once in the hospital has a plastic surgeon on call to re-do his nose, hair color and face. Of course, he faked death and used another body to replace his.

I experienced, in my sleep, feeling like a "peeping tom" behind a certain. Yikes!

Then..I observed his girlfriend taking care of some of the money as they both escape to live in the Bahama's for the rest of his life as a new man (whose making the movie?)

I pictured him with a upturned Irish nose and chiselled jaw line with Red Hair, Talk about trancing or was this a figment of my imagination or what?

Scary thought or perhaps a nightmare..

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY***by author

WHY IS LOVE SO COMPLICATED?

This past month has had me reeling with love issues coming to me. I think it is time people are finally commiting to their feelings and going for it. Besides decisions about divorces, relationships they can't commit to , or partnerships that no longer work. Better said, VENTING, seems to be the word. I think venting is really throwing up on people! Enough already the repetition has made me want to barf.

Love should be the motivating force that propels the act of faith and is nourished in a climate of hope. Love is magical in that it just is. When it's there, you know it! If we do not love, we cannot survive. It makes us feel that all things are possible. Besides, Love is without words, thought or action. It lights the eyes into seeing and in the feeling, the luster of sparkle.

I believe, if you are lucky enough to have found love and really feel it, it radiates from your center generating and attracting to you all that you desire. OMG, I am really feeling this energy now as I write this having my friendships, family and clients that I truly love that are getting
this concept in this crazed and wacky world we now occupy. We need to release ourselves out of this dog eat dog world. We need to be real and then we can separate ourselves from those energies we cannot stand being with and be we others we do.

Listen guys and girls..lust or erotic love is deceptive. It is experienced when two individuals come together and a spark is ignited. This so called spark is generated when opposites attract. It is completely sexual. It is not lasting as the spark of passion lasts only as long as intimacy survives. Once intimacy fades, that flame of emotion and attachment dies, irritation grows, and the source of wonder deteriorates and leaves. Poof..it's over!

Soooo, as you wait for the "eureka" experience, bells ringing, lights flashing, make sure you go through a period where you see into all illusions and perceptions and if it doesn't fit...toss it off.

Wasting your energy trying to alter others who cannot be altered needs to be disgarded.

Walt Whitman wrote: "No one can acquire for another-not one: No one can grow for another-not one".

So when you think of love it can be a resting place where all things grow, flow and flourish. When the longing for possessing falls away, we can live in life's magical glow of light. Bathing in peace and contentment aint too bad. LOVE IS the life force, for without it, and put into practice, we die.......................

WE ARE HAVING BREAKDOWNS BEFORE BREAKTHROUGHS

Is your mind running away from you? Feeling that your old life is threatened? Yes, I think that we are all going though the breakdown of all old attachments. At times, feeling weird, unfocused, and questioning your own identity. Do nothing about it currently, sometimes crashing helps to recover a new you, free from judgement and leaving all those uninspiring things. Time to keep your heart open and not your head. Increase your focus and discipline regarding a practice or activity that strengthens your moving forward in your life.



Relationships are extremely important now with others. A new cycle will begin in 2009 for group connections in work, friendships, love, and career matters. You will find yourself making conscious choices soon and keeping your eyes open for new opportunities. Be fluid and flexible so you can find the new intentions that you have been holding back in your thinking for so long . What do you have to lose!

WATER THERAPY

Water has been called our ages-old elixir of youth. It can also be our rejuvenating energy to restore our bodies back to health. Our bodies need water, and little can sustain life with out it whether it be animal, vegetable, or mineral. Our earth has life because it has water. Whenever there is life, water is found, but where the supply is limited, few people and little life exist. That is why so few people live in deserts or around polar ice caps.

Man needs only a small amount of water each day to live, but civilized man uses water for other purposes such as cooking, bathing, and washing our dishes and clothing. It irrigates our food crops and runs our factories by the use of this energy, it flushes away human waste, dirt, and grime. It's energies are not only a source of power to be harnessed (hydroelectric power) but in this era we find it's healing uses as well.

We can use water to find solutions in our life as well. Try this exercise to finding your answer:

WATER / GLASS SOLUTION FINDER

When you go to bed tonight, place a glass of water on the table next to your bed. State out loud, or write down in one answer or two clear sentences, one problem to which you wish your answer. Example: Why can't I get along with my sister or (mother)? What can I do better in to affect my business positively? Make up your own questions about anything that bothers you in your daily life.

After stating the question, drink one half of the water in the glass. Go to sleep, and make up your mind to sleep soundly. When you wake up the next morning, drink the other half of the water in the glass. In seventy two hours you should have the answer to your problem. It could hit you over the head. After you work out that problem, try another one. The water will help the sleeping but working mind to absorb a single problem and solve it. It will work as a computer to store energy and knowledge in your mind.
Drink up!!

TO RID YOURSELF OF OTHER PEOPLE'S NEGATIVITY

1. Bathe in a hot bath to which you added a lot of sea salt.

2. Add white vinegar when your tired, or achy, too.

THERAPY FOR THE MIND

Examine an acorn in a glass of water.

DRINKING A GLASS OF THERAPEUTIC WATER

1. This water can rearrange your metabolic rate in less than one hour.

2. It will help the dieting process.

3. It will hasten your recovery from stress.

• Fill a glass with spring water.
• Say a prayer for god to energize this water.
• Command your higher power for a blue light to come from within and project outward for your third eye or forehead.
• See the blue light or ray going into the water glass.

Let the glass distill for about five minutes, and while doing so imagine the glass filled with "sparkly golden stones." Ask that it be energized by the love and healing rays of God, and while doing so put your right hand over the top of the glass in mid-air and make three complete clockwise circles over the glass top. Wait two minutes or so, then drink down all the glass's contents. Do this three times a day until you feel a change within.

LETTER SENT FROM A READER

Dear Barbara,

I sometimes wonder about free will.

I asked myself why I feel I am "tripping over" my choices. Why am I so fearful to make decisions that affect my future and afraid to make mistakes? I wish I had a daily crystal ball that could provide me with guidance on the days' goings on. I wish I could carry a psychic in my pocket. I wish an angel would beam down from the heavens and whisper in my ear...but sadly and disappointingly enough, I am stuck with me and my free will choice. I am stuck on not being aware sometimes on what to do about a situation, especially my love life, because my wanting a good end result outweighs what is a the "right decision" to make. I guess, I lack common sense when it comes down to mundane matters like, should I openly tell the truth to my boss on how incredibly hard my work is, and he will offer help without the worry, or will he will see me as incompetent and he could hire someone that would do the job without complaint, and succeed at it.

I often wonder about the "strong head strong people" of the universe who plow right on through with a task without thought, and feel good and confident in their choice. Like traveling down the ketchup aisle at the grocery store, wondering if you should get the pretty colored bottle, the cheap brand, or the televised commercial one..decisions..decisions..as if it's you are saying "Its do or die ...

"LH" - Colorado

*Post Script from Barbara:

We can all relate to the difficulty in our lives and choices we have made. We must take responsibility for ourselves. You know what you have to do, progress comes through with dedication and courage. "Take a risk!"

INVOLUNTARY DETACHMENT

INVOLUNTARY DETACHMENT:

During this time you may have to contend with negative moods that can be quite upsetting. This influence often results in confusion, self doubt, uncertainty, and a general tendency to look at life from the worst possible point of view. At it's worst, it can make you completely uncertain about what is real in your life, resulting in a sense of fear and free-floating anxiety. However, it is important to remember that this influence usually makes things appear worse than they actually are.

If confidence and sense of well being are at a low at this time, than you should not take your own gloomy evaluations too seriously. You seem to be aware of only those facets of life that you are afraid of and totally unaware of those things that can comfort and reinforce you.

Strange as it may seem, there is a constructive side to this period, although most people usually experience the negative side. But, If you are very well attuned to your inner needs and secure enough not to be led astray by illusions, even fearful ones, then the influence can give you the ability to make extraordinary self sacrifices. One effect of this period, is to detach you from the material universe. In that case, you may become disoriented and afraid, as described already. or you may find that the demands of the material universe no longer concern you particularly, and you can sacrifice your material needs to spiritual needs.

Either way, your perception of reality at this time is quite different from what it normally was, which you should take into consideration when making any completely new directions and turns.
MAKE PLANS FOR THE FUTURE:

Clear and precisely, this is an excellent time for making plans, or thinking things over or communicating in any way with others. Your thinking can be clear and precise during the spring months. Look around you to see what's going on perhaps through study or direct encounter. Anything that will stimulate your mind with friends, people, conversations for any source of information to give you new ideas that you can latch onto. Communications can be enhanced. Don't play down your achievements so you can open to new channels and new sources of business and creative work.

I know, some of you are in depressed moods or feelings of resignation and inadequacy. You may fear that some of your personal weaknesses and uncertainties are incompatible with your high self-expectations.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE

I keep pressing the facts to you that one must alter their thought forms in order for your life and problems to change. Hope is not good enough as energy and movement neither goes one way or another. This is not a change but the other side of the old thought form. Real change ceases to experience all difficulties of the past and embrace a brand new thought form of what you are wanting to come to you. TRUST that your beliefs can shift and then ..all life's experiences will change. Just taking responsibility, then action, IS the motor for change.

Energy is everywhere and everything is energy. It is in the air we breathe, food we eat and we also carry it in the physical vessel we call our body in a multitude of variations, frequencies and light waves, feelings, etc. When one is blocked mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually, it causes the bodies stress and energies to get stuck or imbalanced perhaps misaligned.

Most stress comes from unresolved experiences, disappointments, repressed anger, emotional trauma and loss. This is what we most need to resolve. All the above results in disease, illnesses and we need to work at it.

In short, there are many modalities out there that are beneficial to achieve healing in the body.

TRY THIS ONE:

"The following is a self-healing method, which you can do while seated anywhere:"

1. Sit down. Slowly inhale and exhale three times, and wait until you feel quiet inside. Then proceed to ask the Earths Angels of Mother Earth to help you realign your chakra energies.

2. Put your right hand two inches below your navel (over an energy vortex) and open your left palm up over your thigh. You will start to feel energy running through your right hand. Wait until you cannot feel the energy anymore, then remove your right hand, while keeping your left hand as is for the entire process.

3. Move your right hand two inches above the navel, over another energy vortex and repeat above steps. Remove right hand.

4. Place right hand over the energy vortex above the heart. Repeat above steps. Remove right hand.

5. Place right hand over your throat, where energy vortex exists. Remove right hand.

6. Place your right hand over the energy vortex between your eyebrows. Repeat above steps. Thank the Earth Angles for their help.
