FINDING THE GOOD - YOUR CHALLENGE TO ATTAIN JOY
by Debbie "Takara" Shelor

 
I watched Groundhog Day with Bill Murray the other day. What a truly delightful film. And what a wonderful message. Our lives are no different than the man who keeps repeating the same day - Groundhog Day - over and over. That is all we are doing day in and day out - life in and life out. We are repeating situations, making choices, deciding what feels good and what feels bad. Making new choices and evolving.
 
The story begins with Bill's character hating it. All he wants to do is get out of the situation. Much like many of you feel about being here on this planet. Yes? Dealing with the people you have to deal with. Having numerous issues that keep you from your joy. Just as he did, you have to learn to move beyond this stage.
 
But while you are there, life can be a bit depressing.
 
From the moment you were born, your life has been filled with critics. You have food critics, movie critics, and book critics. You discover early that you are constantly being criticized. "Don't ___. That isn't right. No. No. No." Your parents are often quick to point out when they are displeased and that you aren't perfect.
 
You are graded for our performance at school and at work. And that quickly ties to money. If you don't do well in school then you can't get into the college of your choice. If you don't get a good education with a great grade point average then you won't get a good job at a high pay. And once you get a job, you are constantly being criticized - by your boss, your co-workers, and those you supervise.
 
Even those closest to you - your spouse, your kids, and your siblings - can be horribly critical.
Despite all these outside critics, by far the very worst critic you have to deal with is yourself. No one can make you feel as unhappy and inadequate as you can.
 
You end up with a million shoulds. You feel guilty about how you should act, who you should be, and what you should have done. Of course you have those same thoughts about the people around you. You have been trained well to criticize yourself and others.
 
ENOUGH ALREADY.
 
I'll give you a big tip. There is nothing wrong with you. In God's eyes, you are perfect. In fact, you are delightful.
 
God doesn't care what you did 10 years ago or even yesterday.
 
Really.
 
God is an energy - like electricity. You can be in alignment with the flow of that loving, all powerful energy. Or you can shut yourself off from it by feeling separate, unworthy, guilty, or unlovable. But God has no opinion about right and wrong. Only people do.
 
Sin is nothing more than wrong thinking. Thinking you are separete. Thinking you are unworthy. Thinking you are an aweful person. Thinking you should have done more. Judging others and yourself.
 
Stop agonizing about what should have been or what could have been. Or how aweful something was or how bad someone mistreated you.
 
It is the past. So, let it go.
 
I
t is time to see yourself through God's eyes. What a delightful set of dramas you have created for yourself. What an interesting world you live in. What diverse people you have surrounded yourself with. Notice that I did not use any words that denote good or bad, right or wrong.
 
Notice I did not say what a horrible, aweful, nasty, scary world or what aweful people. I said interesting. Aweful is an opinion about right and wrong. People choose to make it right or wrong. People are in duality. God, the Universe, is not.
 
Everything in your world is a mirror. If you judge something. It is something about yourself - buried very deep - that you are actually judging. Everything is about self. It's time to deal with it. It is time to heal. Avoidance isn't really an option any more.
 
Back to our story. Soon the Bill Murray character begins seeing how much he can get away with since every day is a repetition and there are no consequences to his actions. Because by tomorrow what he did today has no effect whatsoever. It is as if it never happened. He can be mean. He can run from the police. He can have meaningless sexual encounters. And tomorrow it makes no difference. The people don't remember. Only he does. (Oh, if you could just let go of your past as easily as that! How much happier you would be.) There is nothing to forgive. Your dramas seem just a bit longer than a day, and you give them so much more importance. But in the grand scheme of things, after reincarnating a bazillion times, each life is just a tiny blip on the Universal clock.
 
Hopefully you have already evolved out of hating it here. And hopefully you are beyond trying to manipulate and control others.
 
Soon our character gets bored with being mean and seeing what he can get away with. He begins turning within and growing personally. He studies piano and literature and ice sculpting. He begins creating beauty and enjoys cultivating skills that he is good at.
 
Expressing creativity is expressing divine gifts. It sends life force or Chi through you and into your life. It is critical that you do this. Follow his lead. Put time, energy, and passion into cultivating your gifts. Never stop learning. You will find great joy in it. Don't do it to impress others. Do it to bring joy to self.
 
Finally the guy in our story shifted his focus again. I wonder how very many days (lifetimes) had to pass before he finally arrived at this new level? He began being interested in those around him. He began helping others. He stopped being so self centered and he started bringing people coffee. He began doing those "acts of kindness" that are done for the shear pleasure of giving. He took the time to really listen and get to know those around him. And he began to really like each of them.
 
Remember the Golden Rule? Do unto others as you would have then do unto you. If you are tired of people being mean to you, then begin being nice to others. If you are tired of being criticized and judged, then you have to stop criticizing and judging yourself and others. That is the only way it will change.
 
So my challenge to you is this . . .
 
Find the Good.
 
In everything. In this moment. In this person. In this circumstance. In yourself.
 
When you hear yourself thinking or saying out loud something critical - STOP. And find the good. Find one good thing about the person, the situation, something. It will be there. It may require a bit of thinking. But that is good. It will get you out of criticism and into the positive. It is all about changing your focus.
 
Throughout the movie, the Bill Murray character liked a particular woman. He tried endlessly to gain her attention and approval. Well, that wasn't possible while he was hating being there, hating the situation and his life. It also wasn't possible while he was taking advantage of others and seeing what he could get away with. When he began cultivating his gifts and enjoying his creative expression, she began to be intrigued. She never came around to "loving" him until he had learned to be who he was, enjoying every moment - literally - of every day, and caring a great deal about others. You see she was a kind and caring person. He could not manifest someone like her being part of his world until he became that himself. It is no different for you, or me, or anyone else. You must first find joy within before your life will have the outward signs of what you truly desire.
 
In the end there is love. Love of self. Love of others. Love of life. Love of God. And you will finally experience love in return. There is no greater blessing.
 
These are chaotic times. Positivity, a sense of hope, and being centered are required in order to flow through each situation with ease and grace. If you feel your mission was to came here to make a positive difference, help other people, and usher this planet into a more evolved and loving place, how on earth are you going to truly be of service if you don't master this?
 
I challenge you to find the good - every day in every thing. You can't fulfill the rest of your mission if you don't master this part.
 
These are glorious times. This is why you have come here. But you have to get beyond your own illusions in order to thrive in the new energy.
 
Everyone in this world, including you, is doing the best they can. They are making the decisions they are making based on how they view life, their hopes, their fears, their distortions, their truths, and in their own personal level of evolution.
 
To radiate love, to walk in beauty and truth, to make a loving uplifting difference in the lives of others, you must first love yourself absolutely and unconditionally - just as God loves you.
 
Begin within.
 
Find your beauty.
 
Cultivate your gifts.
 
Forgive yourself for whatever you think you have done. God already has. You are the only one who is not forgiving self.
 
Once you can truly love and honor who you are, then you will be able to truly love and accept others. And then, finally, they will be able to truly love and accept you. It happens in that order.
 
The world changes one person at a time. You are the one who must change.
 
People often hope that finding the love of their life will solve all their problems. Even if they read the book and follow the guidelines, if they don't learn to love self, of they have not evolved like the Bill Murray character evolved, they will never find another to love them the way they desire. It must begin within. You can not be happy if you do not love and honor you. Please forgive yourself. Please accept yourself for who you are with all your seeming imperfections. It is what makes you unique. It is what makes you human. It is what makes you interesting.
 
Every person on this planet is learning and becoming. No one has arrived. No one has mastered it all. Well I hear there are a few masters walking around, but they aren't typically the people you deal with every day.
 
When you go to the grocery store, take a look around, and realize that every person there is doing the best they can.
 
You are doing the best you can. Let that be enough.
 
Stop agonizing over the things from your past. You did the best you could with what you had to make decisions with at the time. It is over. It is done. You can only change your now.
 
So in your now, I offer this loving energy to assist you to begin to let go of your past, forgive self, and move powerfully into your future. Close your eyes. Take a few slow deep breaths. Call in the Angels, the Archangels, the Divine Sisterhood, the Dolphins and Whales, and any others you wish to have present. See yourself placed in a cocoon of warm and loving magenta light. Let this light bathe you and penetrate every part of your being. It is the Divine Feminine Loving ray. It is the ray of forgiveness. It is the ray of compassion. Let it soothe away all of your pain. If you begin experiencing memories of past people or situations, see each one in a cocoon of magenta light. Bathe the person and the situation with this loving, compassionate energy. Let it transform everything into its truth and move forward with all the emotional pain removed. Say thank you and continue your day.

"Over the years that I have been associated with Takara, I have marveled at her abilities to access energetics that reactive the harmonics of love, trust, truth and balance within the lives of all those that are guided to be in her field. She tenaciously supports and honors the upliftment of the human experience and constantly accesses spiritual wisdom that allows for the balancing of mind, body and spirit. Her joyful presence is a blessing to all. She continually strives to perfect and share her healing techniques and abilities. She holds a place of certainty that life can and will be lived through "ease and grace" as each of us steps into our full potential and truth." - Millie Scarpetti, Co-Founder of Forchianna

THE 9 FIRES OF TRUTH - THE FIRST FIRE
by Raven

 
In the last newsletter I introduced you to the 9 Fires of Truth and some definitions for Peace and Truth as I see them.
 
As promised, for the next 9 issues you will be taught the 9 Qualities of Inner Peace. These qualities will assist you in living in a more centered, balanced and harmonious way in all aspects of your life.
 
The first Fire represents the quality of Wisdom. When you begin with wisdom everything else comes easier.
 
Each quality is represented by an animal, crystal, and color. There is a prayer and a meditation with each quality as well.
 
So here we go;
 
Wisdom
 
Prayer:
"I open to the Wisdom of the universe. May it flow through me and guide me in my daily life. May I always be wise. (read three times aloud or to yourself, take a moment for the words to resonate)
 
Crystal: Citrine
 
Color: Gold
 
Animal: Owl
 
Meditation: Sitting in or near your Peace Wheel, focus your attention on the direction of the North. Call in your Spirit Guides and Master Teachers. Call upon the Spirit of Owl to come to you to teach you the wisdom that you seek. Remember that wisdom comes from different places and in many forms. Be open to receive. Pick up the Citrine and connect with the vibrations of this sacred stone. All stones are considered our elders for they have been in existence for much longer than we have. Honor them for their wisdom and open to their teachings. See yourself bathed in golden light.
 
Relax and allow the wisdom of the universe to flow through you. (10 to 20 minutes) You may use drumming, rattling or other music to assist you in getting into an altered (alpha brain wave) state of consciousness.
 
Always end your meditation in a prayer of thanks to all of those who have assisted you and for all that you have received.
 
Wisdom is available to us from many places. It is the proper use of knowledge. We can have knowledge. But if we do not act on it in a good way, it does not become wisdom. Wisdom requires action. We have and utilize wisdom when we follow our heart, intuition and inner guidance. Wisdom comes from everywhere. It comes from our friends, parents, teachers, partners, nature, pets, plants and crystals. The trick is being able to perceive it when it comes and knowing what to do with it when we receive it.
 
We all have wisdom. We share it when we speak and act from a place of love and compassion.
 
Personal ego reactions are not wisdom.
Emotions are not wisdom.
Arrogance is not wisdom.

 
Wisdom comes from a higher place of being, one that is connected with Spirit. We know that our choice has been one based on wisdom when it comes from our heart and is in the highest and best interest of all involved.
 
Seek wisdom to follow your path. When we have wisdom in our life and make choices based on it, we connect with the divine energy that flows through everything and we create a world filled with beauty, love and ease.
 
Whenever you find yourself in a place of choice, where decisions have to be made, sit quietly for a while, tune into yourself and ask for wisdom to guide your decisions. Our greatest treasure is that which lies within us. Honor yourself and utilize this resource at all times. This resource called Inner Wisdom.
 
Sit with Citrine in the North and tap into that universal Cosmic Wisdom that is available to you at any time. Enjoy the journey.
 
Your next step around the wheel takes you to the second Fire, the fire of Courage.
 
Next issue we will look at courage and how to bring it into our lives.
 
Until then, enjoy your new found wisdom and use it to make a positive difference in the world.
 
ARE YOU FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS OR ARE YOU WALKIN' YOUR TALK?
© Michael Brill 2005 - reprinted here with permission

 
We made it! We’ve arrived at the final season of the year . . . the Holiday Season, the season of optimism, joy, creativity, emotional intimacy, and thankful-giving and thankful-receiving.
 
What are we thankful for? First, that we’ve made it this far by learning to surrender and second that the Universe has patiently waited for us to decide to trust it.
 
The past 5 years have probably been both the longest and shortest five years of your life. At first nothing seemed to be happening then all of a sudden it was rushing past you. The past two years have been incredibly intense, full of life altering decisions that had to be made without knowing the outcomes, alternatives, or consequences of our choices.
 
In 2003 many of us woke up one morning and realized “this is not the life we’re supposed to be living.” We began to reassess our lives and make life altering changes. We might have awakened next to our partner and by lunchtime terminated the relationship. We may have had to end something simply because we felt it was time.
 
The last two years, 2004 – 2005, have been about learning to trust that “allowing it to happen” always brings a better outcome than “trying to make it happen.” In 2004 and 2005 we had to overcome our fear that the Universe wouldn’t be there to support us and therefore we had to make it happen instead of allowing it to happen. When we finally realized that we couldn’t make it on our own and ask Spirit for help, Spirit agreed to help but with a stipulation: We had to surrender to the “will’ of the Universe. We had to deal with our abandonment issues by trusting that what has happened, is happening, or will happen in this lifetime is part of a movie that we casted, co-wrote, co-produced, and co-direct.
 
2005 has been a year of “spiritual-tests.” Numerologically, it is a 7 universal year; a year that calls for universal patience, trust, introspection and a conscious decision to surrender to the will of Spirit. The main reason things have been so intense this year is that the Universe wants to see if we have sold our “sole-proprietorship” and entered into a cosmic partnership, or are we just flappin’ our lips about “Thy will is my will.” Here are some examples of tests of faith: a serious illness (you or another), slow drivers or heavy traffic when we are already running late; external pressure to make an immediate decision; feeling frustrated if it’s not going the way “we want it to;” having a project rejected, miscommunications causing misinterpretations, unexpected changes in personal or business relationships, financial anxieties, being told (your life’s dream, a job, a relationship) “just won’t/can’t work.”
 
December is not only the last month of the year it is also a 1 universal month. It is a transition month to 2006 that urges us to step into our personal power, to make ourselves our first priority, to release any fears or anxieties that revolve around our abandonment issues, and to organize and orchestrate our lives. 2006 is a universal 8 year.
 
A positive universal 8 year can bring recognition, promotions, financial gain, robust health, business opportunities to use your knowledge and wisdom to organize, orchestrate, and delegate tasks. A negative universal 8 year can bring disease, strife, frustration, economic setbacks, legal challenges, and stir up karmic energies. If you work in partnership with Spirit it will be a year of positive experiences. If you try to do it alone, it will be a year of negative experiences.
 
What helps determine whether 2006 will be a positive or negative year is the spiritual phrase you are experiencing. Which phase of spiritual evolution/surrender are you in? Phase 1, you do unto others. Phase 2, others do unto you. Phase 3 you have the option of retaliating against those that you interacted with in Phase 2, in which case you return to Phase 1 (a karmic loop). Or you can choose to come from love and acceptance, in which case you move to Phase 4. In Phase 4 we discover that WE have been our torturer; that we have sabotaged our lives, relationships, and careers not some outside force. In Phase 4 we come to understand our “shadow” Self and incorporate it with our “light” Self. This allows both the soul and ego to integrate with your divine essence. At this point, your pre-selected life challenges and karma (unfinished business) dissolve; you become aware of your life mission and fulfill it by establishing a full-time working partnership with Spirit in 2006.
 
The choice is yours, for there to be peace on Earth and goodwill toward/from others you must walk your talk and surrender to the will of the Universe. You must stop trying to make it happen and allow it to happen.

GRATITUDE
 
We often write to you about gratitude. It is the key to happiness, prosperity, and everything else you desire. Gratitude results in a joy filled heart. And a joy-filled heart is the only one that can consciously manifest. Here is a great link. Enjoy the video. Become a participant. These are the same keys I talk about. This is based on the same fundamental principles of the Golden Water Activation and the Global Marine Meditation. So Enjoy!

WHAT WILL 2006 BRING YOU?
(c) Michael Brill 2006 - reprinted here with permission

 
Most of us have the desire to know more about ourselves, those around us, and the events that affect our lives. We want to understand the "whys" and "wherefores" of life and how to respond to them. There are many occult sciences that can tell us something about ourselves and others (e.g., numerology, astrology, palmistry, tarot, and handwriting analysis). Probably the least known of these sciences is Numerology.
 
Numerology, as practiced in the West, is based on a system developed by the Greek mathematician Pythagoras. Numerology is the science of interpreting the patterns of numbers and letters and their interactions with each other and the world.
 
Cosmic Numerology, a branch I’ve added to the tree of Numerology, is a melding of the sciences of Numerology and quantum physics with the concepts of reincarnation. Cosmic Numerology is the study of the patterns and frequencies associated with the numbers and letters that make up our realities. It can identify the behavior patterns of individuals, businesses, or countries. It also identifies the challenges and soulutions associated with those patterns. Whether it’s a name, an illness or disease, an address or foods, chemicals, minerals, colors or cravings, they all have one thing in common; they symbolize the interrelationships of the energies and events that affect our lives. Numbers and letters represent the codes of creation. Cosmic Numerology views these codes as being generated by conscious choice.
 
I believe that at the Soul level we select our particular name, time and place of birth, as well as our birth/adoptive families. The purpose of these choices is to allow us to evolve spiritually while in a physical form

In this article, I would like to discuss the vibrations of the personal year (PY). The PY cycle lasts nine years with each preceding year setting the tone for the following year. The PY begins on January 1 and lasts until December 31. (For a more detailed explanation of the personal year (PY), visit my website http://www.awakener.com and read the article on “What 2006 Has In Store.”)
 
For the world at large, there will be big changes related to finances, governments, business and an increase in aggressive tendencies.
 
How to Determine Your Personal Year (PY)
 
The PY is found by adding your month and day of birth together then reducing the sum to a single digit. Add that digit to the current year, which has also been reduced to a single digit. For example, 12/11 (December 11) added together equals 23. Add 2+3, for a total of 5. Then add the digits of 2006; the total is 8. Next add both totals 5+8=13 and reduce to 1+3=4. The year 2006, is a 4 personal year.
 
A "One" Year New beginnings.
Masculine energy (assertive behavior) is required for initiating your plans. This year sets the tone for the remainder of the cycle. You will begin to feel this energy by late October of the preceding year. It is an ideal year for starting new projects. Do not expect to start a new personal relationship as all of your energy should be directed toward birthing the project decided upon in your 7 PY.
 
One of your challenges this year is to be patient and not become anxious when things are not happening the way you thought they would, learn to allow them to happen. The other challenge is to not do for others as an excuse for not doing for your Self due to either a lack of confidence or a lack of faith.
 
A "Two" Year Cooperation.
Feminine energy (intuition /cooperation) is required for seeking, accepting, or offering help. This is a year when the ego should be put on a shelf. This is a year for beginning or ending relationships (social, romantic, business or with Self). You will meet many people that will help you along your path.
 
Your main challenge for the year is not to be ego centered but to remain aware that positive interactions with others is the key to success this year.
 
A "Three" Year Social Activity and Creativity.
This is an ideal time to renew old friendships and form new ones. It is a year of creativity, manifestation and for expressing your Self through art or music. Have fun! Bring joy into people's lives. It is a time when the ideas and plans implemented in the 1 PY come to fruition. This is the best year, other than a 1 PY, to birth new ideas and projects.
 
Your challenge is not to let your “involvement” or concern for others choke off your creativity. Look to your Self not others, for validation of your ideas.
 
A "Four" Year Focus on work.
Be practical. You may feel "boxed-in" or "put-upon" or a sense of limitation. The 4 represents the foundation. It is time to concentrate on work and to pay attention to the details. Don’t procrastinate. You cannot depend on others for help, they will not do the job to your satisfaction and it will take more time to educate them than it would to do the job yourself. Put off taking a vacation until mid-August.
 
Don’t let feelings of inadequacy prevent you from making your ideas a reality. Don’t exaggerate potential outcomes to your self or others.
 
A "Five" Year A year of change and a second chance for a new beginning.
You’re halfway through the nine year cycle. This is a year of freedom and change. Opportunities for new beginnings will present themselves. You can change your job, indulge the physical senses (within moderation), enjoy a flirtation. Personal freedom will be at its peak, take advantage of it. Travel, whether as many short trips or a long journey, will be high on your agenda this year.
 
Don’t miss opportunities because of fears or anxieties about the outcomes of the changes swirling around you.
 
A "Six" Year A year of service and responsibility.
Like a 2 PY, it is also an excellent year for beginning or ending relationships. Beginning this year and lasting through the 9 PY, learn to put the needs of other's ahead of your own. It is also a good time to deal with real estate in any form --- buying, selling, renting out a property or fixing one up. Be charitable, tolerant, and forgiving. Emit love . . . do not go to bed angry.
 
The challenges are to remain optimistic, not scatter your energy, and accept what you can not change.
 
A "Seven" Year A year of self-analysis as well as learning to surrender.
What is decided upon now and developed throughout the 8 PY and 9 PY, determines your spiritual direction and your level of conscious satisfaction during the next nine year cycle. The 7 PY is the time Spirit gives you to figure out who you are and where you are going. By September 25th of the 7 PY, you must decide where you want to go, what you want to be, and how you are going to get there. (You can modify your decisions later, but for now it is imperative that you place your order with the Universe.) These decisions will be activated in your 1 PY.
 
The challenge is to let go of the ego’s illusions of being in control and being “abandoned” (whether by Spirit or humans). Over involvement in the affairs of others will bring frustration.
 
An "Eight" Year A year of money and finance.
Having developed faith, patience, and self-awareness in your 7 PY, it is time to "strut your stuff." If you cooperated in your 2 PY, kept you nose to the grindstone in the 4 PY, and were of service in your 6 PY, then you will be rewarded either materially or financially (or both) this year; if not, this will be a very difficult year . . . one of financial hardships or karmic paybacks.
 
The challenge is to
 
A " Nine" Year This is a year of endings and letting go. A time to travel, especially long distances. This year is the "final exam." All that you have learned throughout the current cycle you will be called upon to use this year. Start nothing new that you wish to continue. This is an excellent year to end associations or dealings with those that are getting you down. Minimize the ego's reactions to losses and emotional disappointments by realizing that you are preparing your Self for the new beginnings of your 1 PY.
 
The challenge is not to fight the changes, but to embrace them. If you don’t want the next 9 years to be a repeat of the last 9 (only more intense), learn to allow things to happen instead of trying to make them happen. Learn to do what you love instead of to be loved or to maintain control.

PLUTO AND GALACTIC CENTER
(c) Allison Rae/InfiniteStarWisdom.com - reprinted here with permission

 
"This era exceeds, for physical, symbolic and enlightenment purposes, the significance of the expiration of the Mayan Calendar." - Philip Sedgwick
 
In 2006 and 2007, Pluto will align with the Galactic Center three times, ushering in an unprecedented period of cosmic awareness and healing. This passage will also be marked by chaos and turmoil.
 
Pluto’s conjunction with the Galactic Center occurs only once every 248 years. While some astrologers report Pluto as conjunct the exact center of our galaxy earlier in the year, the alignments are actually in late December 2006 and again in July and October of 2007.
 
Because of Pluto’s proximity to the degree of the Galactic Center (26:55 Sagittarius) throughout 2006, we will feel the effects all year.
 
How each of us experiences this transit will depend on our consciousness.
 
Pluto is the spiritual plunger of the solar system, forcing us to face issues submerged in the unconscious that hold us back from our highest expression of divinity. The Galactic Center is a black hole around which our Sun and other planetary systems revolve.
 
The nature of black holes, and Pluto, is annihilation.
 
Pluto’s passage over the Galactic Center will accelerate the natural process the Hopi refer to as the Great Purification. As a transpersonal planet, Pluto influences the collective consciousness as well as the individual. Watch for political upheaval, revolution and chaos, as well as Earth changes that restore balance to human systems and the natural world.
 
In December 2005, we’re put on notice. This is the time for Lightworkers to heal spiritual, mental, emotional and physical imbalances in preparation for the changes to come in 2006 and beyond.
 
A crescendo of emotional release and fulfillment culminates in the Gemini Full Moon on December 15. Between now and then, our priority is to acknowledge and release patterns from our past that will not be carried into the new cycle.
 
Key issues for Lightworkers during this phase include...
  • Self-esteem not cultivated in childhood must be nurtured now in order to achieve greater expressions of creativity and leadership.
  • Ego imbalances will be corrected. As you recognize and heal issues of low self-esteem and create a unique, individuated identity, check in often to be sure you’re operating from essence, not ego.
  • Patterns of codependency must be released. Healing codependency requires periods of solitude to develop right relationship with self and Source, which eventually leads to healthy relationships with others.
  • Addictions of all kinds - to substances, relationships, activities, even feelings - are obstacles to soul growth and need to be released.
  • Recognize and rewrite thoughts and beliefs that hinder your experience of yourself as Infinite Divine Light.
  • Heal the illusion of separation that stems from “original separation” when your soul individuated and descended from Source to experience growth through human experience.

On the path of healing these karmic issues, we encounter many forms of resistance. Emotional outbursts, rage, hysteria, anxiety, depression, illness, accidents, body aches, digestive problems, allergies, acute pain and injuries, chemical and other dependencies are some of the experiences we create as we begin to break away from past patterns.
 
As we grow in awareness, we begin to welcome these challenges as confirmation that we’re making progress!
 
Meanwhile, strategies that will help you through the changes include...
  • Daily meditation. Twice a day, at least 15 minutes each time, will help you ground, center, reconnect with Source, and integrate the changes on all levels.
  • Develop a support network with others on the path of mastery. Release non-supportive relationships that attempt to hold you in past patterns.
  • Set clear intentions and express them in ceremony, prayer, poem, dance, song and/or art.
  • Explore transformational healing tools including energy and bodywork, essential oils, flower essences and sacred sound.

Many astrologers have been writing and speaking about Pluto’s alignment with the Galactic Center in 2006-2007. Some presentations are fear-based, some hopeful. While the effects of these conjunctions will be dramatic and far-reaching, they’ll serve to strengthen and unify us as the shift to higher consciousness intensifies.
 
We’ll explore various aspects of this important passage throughout the coming year in the Alignments Newsletter.
 
In Joy,

"Hi Takara, Many many thanks for your emails, i really do enjoy reading them. I love the connection I now have with "like minded" "spiritual family" Living in Zimbabwe is not easy these days and your newsletters and emails really help to lift me up. I really love the connection with the dolphins too. I was really fortunate to have had the privilege of swimming with Fungi in Ireland in 1996, and visits with the dolphins in Australia, but my best times are in my dreams and meditations."
- Rae, Zimbabwe



"Dear Takara: Thanks very much for your blessing. It's wonderful receive your mail. I reach your site from the hand of Da Vid. Best Wishes from Buenos Aires."
- Aristides



Hi Takara, As always, this issue was time precise for me. My partner and I just started a sports photography business, are in the midst of our first busy summer season, are extremely cash poor currently, and last Friday I accidently dropped our only camera. We are told that repairs could take 8-10 weeks, rendering us unable to shoot cycling events we are booked to cover. My partner tells me I must surrender. I don't understand his analysis. After reading "On a Wing and a Prayer" I understand. Thank you so much."
