Don’t Believe A Word I Say ! Find Out For Yourself

“Don’t believe a word I say! Find out for yourself.”
Very wise words from my very wise teacher Eric Dowsett.
I quote Eric all the time, but do I listen to what I am saying?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I tend to view my teachers with a sense of awe ~ I forget they are people too, just like me and you!

This reminds me of one of my favorite stories – you may have heard this:
A newlywed woman was excited to cook her first ham for her husband.
He watched her prepare the ham for the oven observing she cut off both ends of the ham, then placed the ham in the roasting pan.
Her husband asked “why did you cut off the ends?
Wife replied, “that’s how my Mom always did it.”
So they called her Mom, Mom said “that’s how my Mom always did it.”
Next they called Grandma, and
Grandma said “because my pan was too small for the ham!”

A perfect story to remind us to find out for ourselves.

I do my research for the most part, but this is something I didn’t fact check.
I understood that “Mala Beads” or “Prayer Beads” had the same number of beads as “Catholic Rosary Beads.”
Well that is not the case as one of my students recently pointed out.

My research findings:
Mala Beads have 108, 27 4 times with a spacer between each 27 and large “guru bead” at the bottom with a tassel.
Mala Beads are used to count “Mantras” in “Japa Meditation” (Reciting Meditation)
“Rosary Beads” have 59 beads made of in sets of ten Hail Mary’s” called “decades’. The “Hail Mary” is said on the ten beads within a decade, while the “Lord’s Prayer” is said on the large bead before each decade and followed by 1 “Glory Be”.
Both Mala Beads and Rosary Beads serve the same purpose, a method to count the words of the mantras or prayers said.

Interesting findings, but most of a reminder to do your own research.
Follow up and find out what is right for you.. Don’t believe a word I say!

“A Shoe In ~ Or A Shoe Off? That Is The Question”

A Shoe-In or A Shoe-Off! That is the question!

I am sure you have your unique patterns, actions that are automatic, things you do without thinking, day after day, month after month, year after year…


The more you do it, the stronger it becomes.
It happens without a conscious thought.

I’ll share one of my “automatic patterns” ~ I don’t wear “outside shoes” inside my home.
The first thing I do when I come inside is take off my shoes.
I have my slippers waiting, and sometimes just walk barefoot.
For my guests I have a basket of assorted clean and cozy slippers.
The other day, wearing my special “inside” purple slippers, I stepped outside the front door for a moment, a few minutes later, I noticed I was bare-footed!
Without even thinking, because I had stepped outside, when I came in I took off my “shoes.”


We create these automatic patterns all the time.
Think about the things you do, the thoughts you have, the things you say,  without a conscious awareness.


If you created it ~ you can change it!


In the meantime, begin noticing your automatic patterns !
Are they a shoe-in for what you desire?
Or is it time to take the shoe off!!
If you are interested in taking that “outdated shoe off” and replacing it with a “new shoe on ” you can join me at one of my guided clearing meditation classes, my personal clearing class or experience a past life regression.

Oh yes… I did wear my slippers out to Dunkin Donuts one day ~ another moment being lost in the thoughts

Movement should be effortless throughout your home,

meandering as if you are a stream of water

flowing easily from room to room with ample space around furniture and objects.

We are coming into the season of winter, the element of water, the energy of adaptability and flow.

It is a perfect time to dream of our hearts desires and make plans for the coming New Year.

Connecting to the feelings of our thoughts and dreams,
we find we can make it so!

 

 

 

 

Aligning with the Stars – Bonus Boosters for 2014

 

Aligning with the Stars of 2014
Bonus Boosters for 2014
Lets align with the energy of 2014 so we can make the most of our opportunities!
South: Prosperity – Spend Time Here! Energize this area with movement such as a pendulum clock, kinetic sculpture, music, however; the best movement of all is activity! If front door is in the South be sure to use it. Open the windows, let the fresh air circulate. Add earth elements with firey colors, glazed pottery, porcelain, terracotta. Earth Crystals enhance this area: citrine, yellow calcite, yellow quartz. A cinnabar egg, 8 metal coins on a red string enhance wealth. Hanging a faceted crystal will activate the auspicious energy. Fire element colors or shapes support the earth element of the 8 star of wealth.
 
North: Future Prosperity:   Also known as the “Multiplying Completion” as is creates more of whatever comes in contact.  Activating this area sets up prosperity for career and business. A good area to study or if a bedroom is in the north, a good area to enhance relationships & romance. Fresh flowers, healthy green plants energize this fortunate area of the home. 9 amethyst crystals and a coral gem tree are good activators.
SouthWest: Relationship:  Use metal to drain the earth allowing the water to generate prosperity and good fortune. A brass wu lu (hour glass shape metal vase) or any round spherical metal objects will contain the earth so it will not overcome the benefits of the water. 10 coins on a red string symbolize creating water. Irregular shapes and colors of water such as black, rich deep blues stimulate the water energy. Avoid wood shapes ( vertical ) and green wood colors. Wood will soak up the water.  
West: Heaven: The 6 Heaven star bringswealth and success in career. Activate the Metal Element with round shapes, smooth lead glass crystal ball, metal objects such as 6 smooth coins or round crystals in a bowl.
The Center:Romance and Wisdom: Everything that happens in the Center affects the whole. Keep this area clean and clear of clutter and obstacles.  Enhance the Wood Element with vibrant flowers in colors of blues, green, and lush green plants. Clean fresh water is important in vases with bamboo or fresh flowers. Avoid metal shapes, colors, objects, as metal can whittle the wood. Avoid fire elements, colors red, orange etc, candles, as this will reduce the auspicious wood energy.
This area is beneficial for study, for writers, film producers, entertainment industry.
Quiet the Energy
 
South  2 “The Grand Duke” shares 15° of this sector here this year. (172.5° to 187.5°)
Keep that area quiet, no construction if possible. Try not to face that direction. It is said that it’s best to sit with your back to this 15° area to gain full support of the “Grand Duke.”
NorthEast : Use of Water Element drains the metal, Still Water with 6 coins and as accents of colors blue and black. A Blue Rhinoceros is a fierce Water icon. Front door in the NE, service or install security and smoke alarm systems. Kitchen in the NE, check the fire extinguishers and smoke alarms are active. Office is in the NE, be sure to read all contracts carefully, especially the fine print. Do not take anything for granted.  Avoid adding Metal and Earth Elements to this area.
NorthWest: . A Brass “Wu Lou” “Calabash” or hour glass shape item will contain the unstable 5 earth. 6 coins on a red string, and use of Metal Elements additionally contain the earth. Avoid adding Fire Elements to this area such as bright lights, candles, and fiery shapes and colors.
SouthEast:  To avoid arguments in this area, add the Fire Element such as candles, bright sparkley lights, triangular shapes and colors or red, orange and fuchsia. Best not to activate or nourish the wood, therefore; avoid metal which destroys the wood energy and avoid water whether virtual or elemental as water enhances the wood.
East: A Brass “Wu Lou” “Calabash” or hour glass shape item will contain the unstable 2 earth. 6 coins on a red string, and use of Metal Elements additionally contain the earth.

I Am Water, See Me Swirl

Discover Your True Nature: Water
We have the potential to express the 5 elements in our behavior, do you resonate with water? read on … I welcome your comments

It’s a lovely Autumn Day, even through the clouds I enjoy the vibrancy of color, as the leaves continue to turn. Today I feel the energy as gentle & graceful, allowing my imagination to flow freely, feeling very connected to the watery aspect of my nature, gazing at the trees in my backyard, dreaming I am at the ocean listening to the waves lapping against the rocks. Water is flowing, moving, meandering. This water nature loves the daydreams, reclining, staying up late into the night. A thinker, I ponder, creating all kinds of visions in my mind. The key is to move these visions from my thoughts to paper, through writing or drawing or even through words, by speaking communicating. I love my freedom, to come and go as the feeling directs me. Yes I feel deeply, filled with emotion, I sometimes get teary, but it is not sadness, just my water overflowing…

I want to dance and twirl… swirling around graceful and free, I am the water ~ I nourish the trees.

I am inspired in a way of welcoming newness, a sense of a beginning to take place as the completion of this cycle continues. A new way to sense the circle of life.

What have you noticed today?

How are you feeling the energy around you?

Are you in “your element”?

Experience this element of water, it can help you meander & flow, blossom & grow.
Breathe into it, smile and enjoy your moments.

Today, I wish for you a day with a graceful turns and sweet swirls…
