Living On Purpose
You can either live your life by default, or you can live your life on purpose. When you live on purpose your day is more structured and significant. When you live by default things may or may not happen for you. It is entirely your choosing.
At the end of your day are you feeling like not much has gotten accomplished? Are you worn out and exhausted? It’s time to get out your planner and start scheduling your day, because if it’s not on the schedule it doesn’t get done. Don’t let your life just happen, watching the days slip away like an innocent bystander. Take the wheel and start driving. You’ll find more magic happens when you are the driver than merely a passive passenger.
The Power Of Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini is known as the Energy Yoga which empowers us to release any stagnant energy sitting at the base of our spine, which is connected to the chakra system. When we are feeling anger or fear, Kundalini Yoga can release this tension with quick movements. The intention is to let go.
Typically, more sedate forms of the Yoga discipline is promoted in modern day practice, which tend to focus on deep breathing, flexibility and stretching of the muscles and joints. Kundalini is the polar opposite of this approach. It combines meditation with cardiovascular and muscle strength building exercises.
There is a major caution with this kind of Yoga, since it is best to avoid it if you have any serious back, brain, neck or shoulder conditions. Also, do not do Kundalini if your pregnant, unless the session is specifically geared towards this under the guidance of a reputable teacher. Always consult with a doctor if your unsure and be aware of what your body can do and can’t do in the present moment.
Choosing Your Outlook On Venus In Virgo
A personal goal is to one day become an astrologer, but there is so much to know! I find it utterly fascinating and feel it deserves undivided attention and time to truly study. One thing I have meanwhile learned about astrology and astrologers is that everyone’s opinion is different.
Astrologers tend to interpret the movements of the planets in their own personal way, just like a psychic interprets signs, cards and tools in their own way. To remain as objective as possible, I like to consult and check with several different astrologers, to get as many of the facts as possible. What one astrologer feels is a negative or challenging energy, or aspect, another may see as an opportunity, or a chance to work our magic and see the positive side of it.
How To Survive Full Moon Sensitivity
Ever notice that during a Full Moon your emotions are heightened? Some people also have trouble sleeping, while others can’t get enough sleep. It is also the time of a month when first responders and hospital emergency rooms tend to be more busy. Parents and teachers also tend to feel like they are running around like headless chickens around this time.
Personally, I find myself much more sensitive during this time. I can see the effects on my clients as well. During full moons I like to try to keep to myself and observe, it’s a good way to prevent these sensitivities from affecting me too much.
Full moon energy affects all of us, but the length and strength is different for everyone. Depending on our astrological charts, if the Moon is in an area of the zodiac that is an important aspect of our chart, it could deeply affect us. It is an individual experience to be sure.
Live A Vibrant Life!
Focus on play and adventure in your daily life. As you tackle any tasks at hand, ask yourself how can I infuse this with fun? Simply smiling more changes the vibration and allows joy to shine brightly. Find a new lightheartedness in your step and your chores will become pleasures, as you focus on laughter and play.
To create adventure, excitement and enthusiasm in your life may be as simple as taking time to watch animals, or smiling as you pass people on the street, where before you would hurry with your head down. It might be stepping outside of your box and planning something with friends and family or maybe doing something delightful that you’ve always wanted to try.
You really can turn anything mundane into something full of life and vibrancy. It’s your attitude that keeps joy from being a dominant force in your life. Once you indulge in the joy of life things not only become easier to accomplish, but it takes less time to get them done.
Live Your Wild, Precious Life!
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” These words by Mary Oliver is my favorite inspirational quote, which I even use as the postscript in all my letters and emails. No matter our age, we will always have desires. They are an important part of what our soul came here to learn and experience.
In this life we go through it all: love, loss, sickness, grief, anger, hope, and joy. Some of our challenges can knock us off our game and leave us in the land of the lost. We can feel like giving up on love, our dreams and desires, and numb out.
Before the movie The Bucket List was released, I was planning a transition from a fast-paced engineering job. I was contemplating early retirement and I wanted to take some gap time before going full-time in my metaphysical business.
Night Owls
I am a typical night owl. ‘Night owl’ is the nickname often given to people who are typically awake late at night, while the rest of the world are asleep and dreaming. I believe as long as one gets enough sleep to maintain your health, it really doesn’t matter whether you are a night owl… or an early bird. ‘Early bird’ is, of course, the nickname that is usually assigned to the early risers.
This brings up a question that my clients and students ask a lot. Why do I wake up almost every night between 3:00 and 4:30am? Well, it’s traditionally called the ‘witching hour.’ As a psychic medium I know from experience that this is the time when spirit can come through more easily, because there is more moisture in the air at this time of the night. We are bio-electrical beings and spirit is pure energy. With water being a conductor for electricity, it makes sense it would be easier for them to communicate with us at this time.
