The Space Between Endings and Beginnings

The Space Between Endings and BeginningsJennifer Hoffman – We are still reverberating from the energy echoes of July’s new moon on the 17th and Pluto Square the nodes on July 18 and that’s going to be active for several months. If you’re feeling tired, irritated, angry, upset, or just plain done with the entire process, don’t worry. It will pass and you are not alone.

We are in a difficult energy cycle though and this is going to be a tough time. Right now we’re approaching a vey powerfully aspected full moon, one of two in August and we have the rare Pluto square the Nodes in Aries/Libra that is in direct aspect now and for the next few weeks. Continue reading

On Taking Life Too Seriously

lifeJoe Martino – Do you go through life with constant angst? A feeling deep down that there is always a little bit of stress or a little bit of worry? I’ve been through this. And in some ways, I thought it would never go away. But I focused on self awareness and living in the heart enough to kiss those days goodbye.

We can sure take life too seriously at times can’t we? I mean it’s fair. We have stresses in life that we get caught up in, we go, go, go, go, and often forget to take a moment to breathe. In Western culture, it’s all about obsessing over goals and getting there and telling ourselves sotries about what life will be like when we do finally get there… but what often happens to us when we live this way? We step into unconsciousness. We stop taking time to FEEL.

I want to help us remember to be STILL with this. Continue reading

Stand in your Signature of Power

Stand in your Signature of PowerGillian MacBeth-Louthan – This hot month of July offers us an opportunity to see with the eyes of new sacred geometries, thru a thousand different perspectives.

We try so hard to block what hurts, we cushion ourselves anyway we can. Eventually everything comes full circle in the karmic Ferris wheel and we come face to face with that which we ran away from to begin with. The sultry month of the she-crab scampers away from her truth and runs hither and fro, shielding her-self from all feeling and emotion. Continue reading

Spiritual Aliveness

lifeOwen K Waters – Spiritual aliveness is the result of making your spirituality the day’s number one priority. Achieving this is fairly simple – as simple as being aware of one or two secrets of the universe and then setting your intention for each day.

Life is an expression of your spiritual self. You are here to gain experience on a grand scale. The small details of daily existence may not seem important, but they are all threads in the grand scheme of the life that you, as your inner self, planned before you were born. Continue reading

The Dip Before the Leap

The Dip Before the LeapDavid R. Hamilton, Ph.D. – Once upon a time, I was an amateur long jumper. Really!

It was several years ago, in the late 90s, and was during the time that I worked as a scientist in drug development R&D.

The long jump is where you run as fast as you can and jump as far as you can into a sand pit.

I loved it. I dreamt of one day breaking the world record. It’s almost 9 metres for men. That’s over 29 feet. I was about 2 metres short, but I loved it all the same. Continue reading
