"Our positive and negative beliefs not only impact our health but also every aspect of our life. Your beliefs act like filters on a camera, changing how you see the world. And your biology adapts to those beliefs. When we truly recognize that our beliefs are that powerful, we hold the key to freedom." - Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D, The Biology of Belief

🌹Beauty unveils Her Exquisite Form in the Solitude of Nothingness; She holds a mirror to Her Face and Beholds Her Own Beauty.

She is the Knower and the Known, the Seer and the Seen; No Eye but Her Own has ever looked upon this Universe.

Her Every Quality finds an Expression:
Eternity becomes the Verdant Field of Time and Space;
Love,… the Life-Giving Garden of this World.

Every branch, leaf, and fruit Reveals an aspect of Her Perfection;
The Cypress give hint of Her Majesty, The Rose gives tidings of Her Beauty.

Whenever Beauty looks, Love is also there; Whenever Beauty shows a Rosy cheek, Love Lights Her Fire from that Flame. When Beauty dwells in the dark folds of Night, Love comes and finds a Heart Entangled in Tresses.

Beauty and Love are as Body and Soul. Beauty is the Mine, Love is the Diamond. They have been together since the beginning of Time;
Side by side, step by step.

🌹 Rumi - ‘All through eternity’

🦋 … When you take the time to draw on your listening-imagination, you will begin to hear this gentle voice at the heart of your life. It is deeper and surer than all the other voices ...

All Holiness is about learning to hear the voice of your own Soul.

You learn to walk on the Earth. You gain a new respect for yourself and others and you learn to see how wonderfully precious this One Life is. You begin to see through the enchanting veils of illusion that you had taken for reality. You no longer squander yourself on things and situations that deplete your Essence. You know now that your True Source is not outside you.

Your Soul is your True Source and a New Energy and passion Awakens in you.

💕 Venus Retrograde - Balancing the Heart Chakra

Venus Retrograde 2018 starts on October 5th at 10° Scorpio. Venus retrograde will last for 40 days, until November 15th. As Venus the planet of love continues through her retrograde cycle, there is no better time for clearing out and rebalancing the heart chakra. The heart chakra rules compassion, generosity, trust, openness, self love and also romantic love.

As the center of your energy system, the heart chakra really acts as a mediator between your lower and higher chakras. The lower or earth based chakras are often about groundedness, security, needs and wants, whereas your higher chakras are more about receiving, self love and the connection to spirit.

Perhaps since Venus has been retrograde you may have been feeling a pull between these two areas of your life and perhaps you have felt off balance with your needs and desires and actually receiving them.

Aside from being the keeper of energy, the heart chakra is also where we connect to our source or our soul. From this place we receive our life force, our zest, our passions and our sense of balance and peace.
A lot of the time we can loose this connection, especially as we enter into some of the lessons that Venus may be trying to stir within us as she moves retrograde.

The good news is that you have the power and the innate knowledge to heal your heart charka yourself. Attend To Your Needs, Release Blame, and Bring accepentance - Remember, forgiving is not about saying that what happened was ok, it is about accepting what happened and only through acceptance can you truly heal. Start surrounding yourself in a more positive environment for healing.

There is a real calling for all of us to open our heart charkas and bring more love, compassion and understanding into the world. Understand that as you open your heart charka you also help to effect the world and those around you in a positive and loving way.

ஜ In the infinite vibratory levels,
The dimensions of interconnectedness
Are without end.
There is nothing independent.
All beings and things are residents
in your awareness.
I subject my awareness to the perfection of being,
The perfection of wisdom and perfection of love,

Life is infinite creative play.
We co-author every moment
With universal creativity.
To bare our souls is all we ask,
To give all we have to life
And the beings surrounding us.
Sealing our fate with each other, celebrating our love.

Share your presence with others, no boundaries,
Completely openly lovingly.
Love is what makes us alive,
That is why we feel so alive when we love.
Service is being available to love.
Life is the combustion of love.
That we love ourselves here,
That is the true magnificence
In the mountains of being.

Like an eruption of consciousness,
We discover the source of love.
Experience yourself as the Source
And appreciate every moment as perfection.

Sunrise–Sunset.
Thank you, Thank you, Creator;
Profound unstoppable connectedness of all beings,

☾⊙☽ September Full Moon in Aries - Becoming Self-Aware

The September Full Moon falls in the fiery sign of Aries on the 24-25th and will help to wrap up the energies of the month passed.

September has been one of the most productive months we have had in a long time. In fact, October to November things are going to slow down again, so September was really our chance to make a move and push things forward.

The September Full Moon in Aries is going to help us make some final pushes and help us to take action on the areas we have been trying to overhaul.

Aries energy is fiery. It is all about stepping up, becoming self-aware, and then going after what you want. Aries energy gives us the stamina and the drive to make things happen, and this is the type of support we are going to receive from this Full Moon.

Although the lunar vibes are going to be supporting us to get things done and take action, this Full Moon is also an emotional one, and it is going to be important for us to find our balance.

This Full Moon will amplify our emotions - Staying calm and trying to manage our emotions in a healthy way is highly recommended around this Full Moon. Aries rules over the head, so try not to get too “hot-headed” or worked up over things. There may be some fiery emotions circulating around this time, so do your best to stay balanced.

Full Moon’s are always a wonderful time to release, so if there is a past issue that arises, or if you do feel your emotions overflowing, it may be necessary for you to let go and purge a particular area of your life.

We all have different lessons to overcome in this life, but more often than not, our issues can be traced back to a lack of love.

While we can’t force others to love us, we can learn to love ourselves fearlessly and unconditionally. When we do this, it allows us to forgive ourselves, forgive others, and begin healing. There is a lot of healing energy surrounding this Aries Full Moon, which is really going to support us on this journey.

In fact, you may find that you have a moment of realization or an a-ha moment that helps you to clear a pattern or break a habit that has been with you for some time. You may also find that this healing helps to strengthen the relationships in your life, and helps to open your heart to making deeper connections with yourself and others.

When you travel deep within, crack yourself open, and learn to love what you find, it allows you to truly give and receive love on a whole new level. Often it takes another person to instigate this journey for us, which is why relationships are so significant to us and can be such a fountain of healing.

Even though we come into this world “alone” - It is our connection with others that fuels the growth of our soul and of the planet. It is our connection to others that helps us to make sense of the world that we live in. Developing relationships with others in this life is important for all of us, and on this Full Moon we can tune into the quality of the connections that we have in our lives.

We may also find that we need to let certain relationships go, or give more time and gratitude to the relationships we have in our lives.

The September Full Moon definitely has a lot of energy attached to it. It is a deeply healing, awakening, and emotional Full Moon that is going to help supercharge our energy and deliver support and guidance where it is needed.
Think of this Full Moon like a bright beacon, shining light on your wounds, on your relationships, on your life, and encouraging you to love more so you can make the changes you desire.

☾☀☽ Equinox September 2018 – a Time of Healing, a Time of Balance

The September 22nd Equinox marks the Sun’s move into Libra and the start of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere and Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Equinox happens twice a year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator. As the Sun crosses this point, it results in equal hours of light and dark.

The Equinox is also a significant turning point in the astrological year, and represents the half way mark as the Sun journeys through the 12 different constellations.

The Sun’s journey through Libra signifies a time of balance and working together with others. It is a time to turn our attention to the “other” and to focus on how we can create healthy partnerships and friendships.
Libra energy is about finding the balance between honoring your own needs and wants, and taking into consideration others needs and wants. It is a time to find harmony and equilibrium with all areas of your life.
With the changing of the seasons, there is also a shift in the flow and direction of energy.

In the northern hemisphere, energy starts to move inward and we are encouraged to release and let go of all that no longer serves us. We see this mirrored in nature as the trees begin to shed their leaves and as the weather becomes cooler. We have less hours of light and more hours of darkness.

In the southern hemisphere, the energy starts to move outward and we are encouraged to express and put ourselves out there. This is also mirrored in nature with the start of Spring and the blooming of blossoms and creation of new life. This is a very fertile time where we can take all we have been planning and start putting it into action. The hours of sunlight increase, and the weather gets warmer.

These shifts in nature give us a clue as to what shifts are occurring within us as well and begin preparing us for the Winter/Summer, which is also the last season before the astrological New Year begins.

This year, the September 2018 Equinox also carries special influence because of the asteroid Chiron. Chiron is known as the healer in astrology. Wherever Chiron shows up in your astrology chart indicates a wound that needs to be healed and cleansed through the course of your lifetime. Chiron’s wounds are karmic, and represent lessons and themes that your soul has come to achieve in this life. Chiron is extremely active around the time of the Equinox, indicating that a time of healing is also underway for us all.

Libra energy is about partnership; it is about connecting with others and opening our heart to others. It is about learning to understand other people’s points of view and developing empathy for our fellow human.

As a society, we are not always the best at understanding and paying respect to our fellow human. We still feel threatened by other people’s differences, and judgement of others when they do something that is against the norm. Showing empathy is considered a weakness, and we are often encouraged to compete and race against our peers in order to outsmart them or out beat them. The entire system is set up to have a hierarchy and it is easy to fall into the trap of trying to be at the top.

The energy of Chrion and the Sun in Libra, is there to remind us that we are all one and the same - It is there to help us see that our differences are just an illusion and deep down, we are really connected, we are one.
The famous- treat others as you wish to be treated– takes on a whole new meaning when we tune into the awareness that we are all the same.

This sensation of connectedness can also be achieved through meditation, and if we allow ourselves, we can tune in and feel that everyone’s hurt is our hurt, and everyone’s joy is our joy.
It may be a tricky concept to wrap our heads around unless we have experienced it or feel it for ourselves, but without the cloak of reality, without these human shells that we call bodies, we are really just all made of the same star stuff. The differences we perceive in others and the issues that we have with others, are all powerful teachers for us in this life. If we feel threatened by another, it is really a message and lesson for us, and a reminder that we need to be more accepting of ourselves.

When you feel whole and secure in yourself it removes the need for judgement. When you love yourself, it allows you to focus on the love you find in others. Don’t let this world or anyone make you feel not good enough. Don’t let society tell you how things should be. Make your own way. Follow your own heart. And know that when you love yourself, anything is possible.

The September 22 Equinox is a time to heal the divide. It is a time to cross that bridge between the ego you and the higher self you, and feel the connection, the strength, and the love that comes from knowing that we are One.

🦋… I have come to Accept the Feeling of not Knowing where I am Going. And I have trained myself to Love it. Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight, that we force our Wings to Unravel and alas begin our Flight. And as we Fly, we still may not know where we are Going to. But the Miracle is in the Unfolding of the Wings. You may not Know where you're going, but you know that so long as you Spread Your Wings, the Winds Will Carry You…

For we live in the Kingdom of Joy.
Do not give your Heart to anything else
But to the Love of those who are clear Joy,
Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.
For there are hopes: they are Real, they Exist –
Do not go in the direction of darkness –
I tell you: Suns Exist.

Part Earth and Sea, Wind and Fire, with some Salt and Dust Swimming in them. We have a Universe Within ourselves that mimics the Universe outside. None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities. Everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them, and within them.

☾⊙☽ Pisces Full Moon 27/28 August - a Beautiful Melody of Energy

Take a moment to pause. Take a moment to sit back and reflect on your life. Feel in to how far you have travelled. Feel in to all the painful moments. Witness how they have softened you. Witness how they have made you stronger.

After a long journey of traveling within. After a long journey of sitting in the dark and sitting in the pain, the light is now emerging. The time to blossom has finally come after a long journey through the depths of the soul.

The August Full Moon in Pisces falls on the 26-27th and brings with it a fresh burst of creative and romantic energy. It is one of the best Full Moon’s of the year, and signifies a new opening, a new gateway of energy that we all get to enjoy.

After the intensity of three Eclipses and many planets in retrograde, we are now being given a breath of fresh air. We have now reached the light at the end of the tunnel, and we are going to feel rewarded for wherever we have landed.

Since July we have been walking the Eclipse gateway between a trinity of three very potent Eclipses. This bridge was leading us away from the old into the new. This bridge was our map, our ticket to a plane of higher consciousness, and therefore the journey was not easy.

We had to accelerate our growth and development. The Universe had to push us, it had to bring events and circumstances into our lives that were going to force us to notice the truth, and feel what was real inside the depths of our hearts.

Although this trinity of Eclipses took place over the course of just two months, we have been working with this Eclipse cycle for some time, and now as we are at the end of the bridge, we are able to see that it connects to a totally new path. A new journey is now before us.

As we look out at the horizon at this new world before us, we may feel uncomfortable. We may even resist the changes that have occurred, but with the help of this Pisces Full Moon we are going to get a burst of confidence, we are going to get a burst of knowing.

Deep in our hearts we are going to know that this is the best and truest path for us and where we need to be right now. Deep in our hearts we are going to know that right where we stand is perfect.

Under the influence of this beautiful Pisces Full Moon, we are going to be able to look out at the new path in front of us and feel excited for the journeys that are destined to come. We are going to feel stronger, we are going to feel more aligned with ourselves.

Life is always twisting and turning, but it’s cosmic alignments and moments like these that remind us why we are here and what this is all for. Life is not to break us down. Life is not to hurt us. We are here to grow. We are here to learn. We are here to have an adventure.

Our timeless souls know the truth. Our timeless souls know that this is a temporary movie, a temporary script that we all get to act out together. And when it’s all done, when it’s all over, we will return to our true nature, our true home, and laugh about how wonderful it was, the friends we made, and the memories we had. We will also cherish the hard times, and know that it was in these times that we did the most learning and the most growing.

The message of this August Full Moon is to celebrate yourself and the journey. You have travelled far and now you need to honour yourself, be gentle with yourself, and love yourself.

This Full Moon is the perfect time to take a pause, it is the perfect time to give yourself a hug and to congratulate yourself for everything.

You are perfect. You are beautiful. And the life you have created is amazing. You deserve it all. And most importantly, you deserve your own love and affection.

The August Pisces Full Moon is radiant, it is a beacon of hope, and it is a pure and true light in the dark. It is protective, it is magical, and it is a reminder that you are stronger than you ever imagined.

You are wiser now, you are wiser for the road you have travelled. Just like the Moon, you are more magnificent and radiant than ever before.

So, stand under the light of this Moon. Bathe under the light of this Moon. Charge your crystals under the light of this Moon, as you are going to want to soak up these harmonious vibes and enjoy them for as long as you can.

The August Full Moon is a rare treat. A beautiful melody of energy that is going to love you, hold you, and remind you that no matter what, you got this.
