Retreats

2010

Namaste’ and Welcome to all our New Members….

As we move into spring, we can all clearly see ‘mounds’ of change…. not only with mother nature in all her power, but changes in personal lives, careers and even the Zodiac….. (see below)….

We have the opportunity to choose health with the many decisions we make daily. The cornerstones of vibrant health include a healthy diet, proper rest and relaxation, and living a purposeful, meaning-filled life with time for reflection, integration, and transformation. Relaxation is essential. Learning to stop and rest in the breath, moment by moment, is essential. We live in a very yang, tense world. The body knows how to relax, yet in today’s busy world, it must be reminded and encouraged to return to balance. Relaxing and balancing the nervous system is an important key – as the nerves relax, the muscles relax. As the body calms, the mind becomes calm….. I am learning this all over again myself….experience change is not always easy….

I am currently working on the summer and fall schedule for Retreats, Seminars, Reiki Classes/Circles and much more… to be posted Soon….

• I will be back in Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa California, in April 2011 and will be posting my schedule soon….

• The Annual California and Ohio Retreat is being planned for October 2011 along with many other events this summer… so stay tuned in….

Meanwhile, the subject of the NEW ZODIAC SIGN has been mentioned to me lately… so here is a quick post on that….

the new ZODIAC sign

Astronomers with the Minnesota Planetarium Society have dropped a bomb on the zodiac, noting that thanks to the millennium-long effect of the moon’s gravitational pull on the Earth, there’s about a one-month bump in the alignment of the stars, FOX-News.com reported.

It’s all OK - you are still who you are!

I would just like to say that what I have written below is based on research for those interested in the 13th sign NOT on my own beliefs. I remain a firm believer in the 12 sign zodiac but will carry on my research.  The 13th sign of the zodiac, unlike the other 12 signs is actually associated with a real person. In the 27th Century BCE in Ancient Egypt lived a man known as Imhotep. Imhotep was known as ‘Aesclepius’ by the Ancient Greeks, however the attributes are the same under either name.

One of Imhotep’s abilities was healing and it is said that it was he who introduced it to mankind. His accomplishments also included a wide knowledge of medicine. The serpent or snake symbol which is still used today to symbolize the medical profession was also used to represent Imhotep. Below is a list of attributes associated with the Serpent Holder, Imhotep i.e Aesclepius. The descriptions below are associated with the 13th sign - Ophiuchus.

• Many people are envious of this subject as he progresses well throughout life.
• A seeker of wisdom and knowledge
• Many people are jealous of this person
• Tends to go for the more flamboyant in dress sense, favoring bright colors.
• Authority looks upon him well.
• Would make a great architect or builder.
• Number 12 is this persons lucky number.
• This person will have a big family but leave home at an early age.

This is the Zodiac as some astrologers believe it should be: ARIES = APRIL 19 - MAY 13 TAURUS = MAY 14 - JUNE 19 GEMINI = JUNE 20 - JULY 20 CANCER = JULY 21 - AUG 9 LEO = AUGUST 10 - SEPTEMBER 15 VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 30 LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 22 SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29 OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 17 SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 - JANUARY 18 CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 15 AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 11 PISCES = MARCH 12 - APRIL 18 I’m not sure myself about the qualities of that of Ophiuchus, but perhaps if you mix Scorpio with Sagittarius you may come up with something along the right lines.

So I will leave you with those thoughts…. Clean the house, clear your space and balance your thoughts, Spring is around the corner here….. make your summer plans and please take a moment each day to send Reiki to Japan and all of it’s people….

NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND BLESSINGS

TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS….. NAMASTE’

SHARE YOUR TIME AND ENERGY, IT IS TRULY THE

MOST PRECIOUS GIFT YOU CAN GIVE…..

Here we are coming to a close of 2010 and looking at a New Year coming upon us…. Time to move forward in life and welcome in any changes in your life…. As we share in our Reiki Circles, positive energy attracts positive energy, attitudes and creates positive actions…..

It is almost hard to believe that in less than 8 weeks we will enter into the year 2011. 2010 has turned out to be quite the year of change for many.   This year, 2010 is a transitional year and as humans seem to struggle quite a bit during transitions and change. We experience both transitional years and our own personal transitions. Transitional years occur usually every ten years, so the next one will be in 2020. As for our personal transitions, we experience those about every seven to eight years in our lives. So in 2010 I find that many people are experiencing a double whammy with both a transitional year and personal transition, which makes far more changes and some difficult to get through.

Transitions are times for you to take advantage of making change by first cleaning up the clutter in your life; a time for clearing away the old to make way for the new. Not just the ‘emotional’ clutter, like bad relationships, or friendships, jobs and etc…  but also the clutter that surrounds you in your home and work space. It is very important for you to focus on cleaning up the clutter at many levels, so that when the year ends or this transition comes to a close, new doors of opportunity will begin to open. Believe it or not the cluttering of things within your own home and work space, even dust and dirt, can deeply affect the positive flow of positive energy and situations in your personal life. As you read this think of what is cleaning up the clutter, the old negative energy in your life, or this past year and you will confirm for yourself it is a fact…. Cleaning up the Clutter at Every Level, will allow new doors of opportunity to open….

In Feng Shui it is believed that certain areas of your home or work space represent different aspects of your life; like health, finances, career and love. So when any area becomes cluttered- so will that area of your life. So it pays to go through your home and work space with a fine tooth-comb- cleaning things up and re-organizing everything. It will also make you feel better about yourself and your surroundings.

So before this year comes to a close, before you join your family and friends for your Thanksgiving Holiday, take a close look at your energy levels….. Your personal relationships, your home and work space.  Decide what things you need to clean up, clear out and make room for new positive energy to come in!!!

November is a great month to focus on cleaning up, clearing out, charging up and focus on celebrations….  There is plenty of time to prepare a new positive year ahead and close this year with gratitude.  Start with making a list for yourself, practice meditation and Reiki in its many forms, you will be setting yourself up for assured success.
