A Happy New Year and A Tiny Bit of Wisdom

Everyone wants to feel good. In our world of duality, there is nothing like feeling bad to make you appreciate feeling good!

Good physical health allows and enhances good emotional health and supports spiritual practices. Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to move into that quiet meditational space when you have a pounding headache?

We are composed of four bodies – spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Spiritual teachings say that what you do to one of these bodies affects the other bodies. For instance, frequent meditation brings harmony to your other bodies - to your emotional, mental and physical bodies as well as your spiritual body.

When you change your spiritual body it changes your physical, emotional and mental bodies. When you change your physical body it changes your emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. In fact, you cannot change one without changing the others, too.

While we tend to think of this in terms of healing, wholeness and well being, the flip side is also true. When we unconsciously alter our physical body in a detrimental way (e.g. poor food choices, not enough exercise, too much or too little sunshine, the list goes on… we negatively impact the emotional, mental and spiritual bodies also.

We may not see this side as quickly or as easily; however, now that you know this, you can be aware and observe. Have you ever known someone with chronic pain or chronic physical illness and seen the drain of energy this has on their emotional body? Or, have you noticed how difficult it is to think clearly when you are suddenly frightened or afraid?

Change one body and you change the others.

Knowing this tiny bit of wisdom helps us realize the importance of making wise choices for all four of our bodies:

* Choose a healthy diet and exercise plan for the physical body.

* Choose peace for the emotional body.

* Choose clarity and positive thoughts for the mental body.

* Choose meditation and acts of loving kindness for the spiritual body.

To close with a quote from my favorite Christmas card,

“…Peace and truth be in my days” (2 Kings 20:19)… and in yours.

Happy New Year!

I HAVE A DREAM-DON’T YOU?
Thanks Martin Luther King for these words.
Amazing how life goes along and stuff happens in your life- some good and some not as hoped.
Most of us have a dream and/or expectations. To some, it is just that, a big dream never fulfilled. I was there for a good period of life. While much good did happen, the dream was not fulfilled.
Today, I am for the most part living the dream- not necessarily in a material way, but in a spiritual way that fills me with optimism, hope, peace and serenity- and has resulted in healthy self-esteem and self-love.
I love to work with others. It is what I see as my mission in life today. I do it in a somewhat unique way. I apply my professional training along with my experience to help others with a dream realise it. Notice I say help. I can help others articulate and define their dream, I can guide them to a place inside themselves where they can find answers, but I can’t do it for them.
The path I took, which DID involve much “outside” professional help, has allowed me to be in a place in my head where good things can happen- and I expect them to- but when they don’t, I keep moving forward.
To realize my dream, several things had to happen.
First I had to clarify what it was I was really looking for (Beatles-Money Can’t Buy You Love). Then, I needed to have a plan to achieve my dream, an achievable plan with measurements. Then, the real crunch, I had to commit to and TAKE ACTION. Nothing would happen without my action and my “team” pushed me to realization.
I’m working with someone I care about. He has spiralled to a dark place, and has a realistic dream, one that if achieved will give him a platform to move forward from in several key areas of his life. At this point he cannot act, fear of the unknown and negative attitudes block him from even simple action.
I know from my own experience, once he moves into action-even baby steps- with a listening ear and support and encouragement he will reach his dream.
I was 46 before I took the positive action I needed to take to realize my dream. Many do it younger or have had the right elements or “wiring” growing up to never feel unfulfilled. Many hit the crossroads even later in life.
Have you got a dream and are at a point that you want to realize? Are you feeling unfilled enough with low self-love and feeling restless, irritable and discontent? If you want to change it, take action. Help is available.

It’s a funny question. Many believe, “I am the boss of me.” And while it can be true our subconscious mind is far more powerful than anything else. Want proof?

Try this…

Sitting at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

While doing this, draw the number ‘6’ in the air with your right hand.

See?

Proof positive that our mind controls everything!

OOoohhhh-haaaaaaaaa (insert scary laughter)

PS. Now can you see it really is ALL in your head which is why your foot instantly changed direction!

Aries

A water sign or more emotional woman in your life will feel somewhat restricted this week due to the appearance of a younger person who suddenly seems to be taking up your time. This may wear on you a little but in the end you will get what you’re seeking even if it doesn’t feel like it just yet. An end is coming to the way that things have been in your life so that things can finally be as you have wanted them. Balance can be yours on a mental level and this will lead you to happiness so long as you are sure about what you want but this is going to happen in its own time. The time has come for you to make some long term plans and decisions for your future. This may see you feeling vulnerable on many levels but a contract, legal issue or proposal of some kind will see you feeling grounded in time.

Taurus

You may commence this week feeling restricted and not just a little strapped for cash but you are strong enough to get through this period and if you use your intuition you can get things to work out the way you want them to. Family issues persist and this will mean making decisions that you may have struggled with in the past, however doing this will mean a new beginning on an emotional level. An end is coming to the mind games in your life and although you may not feel emotionally up to the task, you can have victory here. Things may be taking longer than you’d like but a balanced approach to all of your obstacles will bring about your new beginning and this will see you feeling grounded and finding peace over time that will lead you to happiness.

Gemini

A new emotional beginning is opening up to you this week that will see an end to the mind games in your life so that you will finally be able to walk away from all that no longer serves you. Decisions that have been weighing on you for some time must be made this week and you need to give the appearance of being strong even if you aren’t feeling that way. Stressful times of the past are about to make way for something better and this will bring about changes in other areas also. Information is coming to you that may see you feeling disillusioned, particularly in relation to a child or young person in your life and you may feel the urge to react to what you are hearing in a negative way which will only cause you battles. A more gentle approach will get you further in this case.

Cancer

The loss of someone or something from your life this week will have you feeling restricted and it is time to work out now just what you want so that you can take action to make the changes necessary to get it. You can have the life that you have been seeking but you will need to keep the lines of communication open if you’re going to achieve all you’ve wanted as this will help you to gain perspective and regain control of the direction you’re headed in. You may feel that you have stagnated at the moment but the sun will come out for you again and Spirit are urging you to pull yourself together until it does. A balanced outlook will help you to feel your fear and do it anyway and over time this is going to bring you peace so hold your head up even if you don’t feel like it at the present and you will find your oomph again.

Leo

A relationship in love or business may have you seeing life differently this week as a situation with an air sign or more deep thinking male around you who has caused you distress in the past suddenly has you feeling stuck. Spiritually speaking you are where you’re supposed to be and changes are coming in that will bring an end to the way things have been in the past. Irritations lingering in relation to a financial or career related matter will need to be dealt with if you are to find the happiness within your family life that you have been seeking and this would make your relationships better also. An opportunity is coming to you that will give you what you’ve been wishing for and this will lead you to the kind of life you have dreamed of.

Virgo

A new beginning that has been good to this point could be undermined by jealous energies this week and this will see you needing to work out what is really important to you so that you can leave the rest behind you. It is time for you to take control over your life as battles may see you feeling that the stress is outweighing the benefits as the stability you have been seeking seems to remain beyond your reach. The walls of negative energy can be broken down for you but you will need to act as though these things aren’t affecting you in the meantime. A message is coming to you that will see you working out what you really want and you will find balance both physically and financially. A fire sign male or more dynamic male in your life will be instrumental in helping you to get a new emotional beginning.

Libra

Happiness can be yours this week, particularly in regards to your relationship sector so long as you know what you really want. Things have started coming together but information is coming to you that will see you feeling restricted in the meantime. A new emotional beginning is coming in for you but this will not be without its own stresses and an earth sign or stubborn male in your life will be at the bottom of this. A financial or career related issue will need to be dealt with if you are to get what you’ve been wishing for however your feelings of separation or disconnection will only be temporary. Spirit show that you can have what you have wanted but delays around a new work opportunity may see you feeling controlled in the short term. In the end however you will have victory over your troubles.

Scorpio

Victory can be yours in relation to a situation with a fire sign or more fiery male in your life and this will see your relationship improving. The stagnation that you have been enduring is going out of your life, making way for something better and this will see your wishes finally being realized. A physical or financial new beginning will bring an end to the way that life has been for some time now and this will relate to a loan or repayment of monies that have been owed to you. Children may be involved in this situation and though you may still feel quite stuck initially, a new intimate or creative beginning will bring an end to all your worries. The light has gone on for you that all you have seemed to be doing lately is working and something is missing from your life but you can have what you want and this will come about by opening the lines of communication with an earth sign or financially connected male.

Sagittarius

A new emotional beginning will see you finding happiness this week even though it will not be without its stresses and all logic might just go out of the window. You can have the kind of relationships you have wished for and the life that you have always desired as spiritually you are where you are supposed to be in your life, even if you feel a little isolated at present. There is nothing that you can do to make things happen any faster than they are going to anyway and this might do your head in but you do have the strength to get through this and the intelligence to know that you are moving in the right direction towards a better life. A new beginning is coming in for you and this will encompass your physical and financial future.

Capricorn

You may start this week feeling stuck, particularly where money is concerned, partly because of a child or young person in your life and this will see balance going out for a time. Someone or something is coming back in your life with an offer of information and you will need to be grounded as a battle ensues that will see you leaving something behind you permanently. Changes are coming into your life that will bring an end to the way that things have been and you can have the outcome that you have been seeking even if that’s not apparent yet. A fire sign woman in your life will be looking at a loan, a move of house or big changes to her household this week and this will lead to an outcome that works in your favour.

Aquarius

Fear of the unknown will see you feeling irritated or bothered this week but a new beginning is on the horizon that will help you to regain that feeling of control. You may be feeling emotional but you can have the home and family life you have been seeking and an end to the mind games so long as you remain grounded. You are moving in the right direction toward the kinds of relationships that you have wanted in your life and using your intuition will bring about changes that will make things better with those to whom you feel closest. Happiness can be yours as you finally have victory over all that has held you back in the past.

Pisces

The walls of negative energy will be broken down around you this week as you face and deal with jealousy that has been directed toward you via a message relating to your home and family life. It is time to stand and be counted and make those decisions that you have struggled against in the past as this will give you the control that more childish behaviour in the past has failed to do. An earth sign or more stubborn older woman will cause you battles but a fire sign or more fiery woman will help you to find some kind of balance and this will see you finding peace over time that will lead you to a new physical or financial beginning.
