A weekly update

I took to writing long hand while sitting in the sun and somehow lacked the discipline/energy to copy up until now
12th Jan
4 days into new moon - the sun shines today and I spend much time absorbing the warmth/love & using my imagination to creating a healthy wealthy n wise future - this is one of those extra special years for everyone - so much of what I have "felt" over the past few months has come to pass - facing fears, entering non comfort zones - loving the "unlovable" - realising and releasing my perception of my unlovableness - seeing alis instead of enemies in my ego - remember gratitude and thankfulness
Flow with the river
Bend with the wind
Radiate light as the fire
Radiate warmth as deep within the earth
Where nurture is first given to the seed

13th Jan

Sunday - sunshine - mists in the valleys - beautiful - brings sense of peace to being - dental experience taught - is teaching to be in the moment - breathing more energy into the observer - running commentary - frequent - gentling the critical eye - loving the ego - mind runs hither n thither like headless chicken - hear this moment - hear - cockerel crowing, barking dogs, murmur of neighbours conversing - songbirds - see the moment - see - sun - mist jet streams - wood smoke - greens - blues - budding almond blossom - houses nestled in the mountain bathed in sunlight - smell - olive wood burning wafting on a breeze of fresh n clean air - feel - completeness
let my emotions be as a clear flowing river, clean & pure, cleansing and feeding
let my thoughts bend with the breeze that scatters some seed
let me be as the candle that burns in the window - a welcoming light
to any in need of nurture which is found as deep within the self as within the earth - the light of the fire will penetrate the soil's surface and the seed will re-act pushing upwards toward the light and yet firm its foundations/roots in the inner being/earth

15th Tuesday
Yesterday went u to La Era with Isabel to strip beds after their stay and start prepping for our w/e - torrential rain made the drive up a bit scary as due to many wagons going up and down to the old folks home that is being built the track was pure mud, anyway Isabel got us up and deserved a gold star, we came back down by another track though. Eventually the rain stopped and out came the sun alond with many little yellow wild flowers
Peace n Release seems to be my phrase of the week
Woke to Saturn beaming brightly in the pre dawn sky - flash of light - many stars - clear n cold - sun rises mistily - gentle breeze - there is a little bird that lives here all year round bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a blackbird, dull blackish in colour, but boy oh boy can this lil fella sing and many different tunes too - they will all gather on the roof tops singing to the rising sun, the click like dolphins - whistle - chirrup - trill n warble - one has come to give me a solo performance this morning - my jaws are aching from the broad grin on my face

Now it is Sunday again 20th
It is a good job that original dental appointment went awol - as it turned out the upper plate didn't fit so good so had to hang around till late afternoon for it to be remade - long day - now I am dealing with the aftermath of swollen face and a fair bit of pain as everything settles down and my body accepts these intruders LOL - I am very grateful that the weather has gone through a change and has been warm n sunny since so I have just been healing in the sun, I am taking pain killers although limiting myself to 2 a day, not something I am used to and I am not to keen on the side effects, lack of energy etc and normally I won't take them as pain is to tell us to take care, after my hysterectomy {shit nearly 20 years ago now} I refused them after the 2nd day as it was best to gauge on a day to day basis what I could or could not do, if I had taken the PK I would have been lifting coal buckets and stuff and probably landed myself back in hospital, but this time I need to persevere so that everything will ultimately fit nicely into place.
Anyway back again on Tuesday for a check
Another day of in the sun - drinking what seems like litres of hot water and lemon, with a diet of yogurt, pureed veggies, weetabix/porridge and eggs
As always many good articles to inspire and give "explanations" to what many are experiencing now - I know my "read thru" every morning helps me keep things in perspective and re-affirm my intentions

Once you have the vision for your future, hold it side-by-side with the belief you wish to transform. If the old belief is “I am not worthy,” you might wish to replace it with a new belief that goes something like this: "I am an infinite being worthy of all the universe has to offer." As you begin to act, think and feel from the perspective of this new belief, you will receive information and guidance that will make this belief more and more real in your physical world.Your highest visions will always come from within. You will never find them in the material world. What you see around you are the creations of the past. Your spirit is always moving toward new experiences and understandings. It never seeks stagnancy or remaining trapped in the past. Sometimes it happens in your world that a person looks at their surroundings -- basically, the creations of the past -- and adopts this as a vision for their future. It is a misunderstanding to believe that what you are experiencing now (creations of the past) are the blueprint for your future.

LIVE POSITIVELY……try to find something of Joy to celebrate in each and every day. No matter how difficult life may seem….it is still a manifestation of the Love of Source. Look to see where you have created old patterns that no longer serve you and your growth, and see how you might create new ones that will bring you Joy.

LIVE WITH GRACE AND GRATITUDE : Make a point of being grateful for the blessings that you receive every day. Even the great changes are an indication of blessings to come. Your I AM will respond positively if you express gratitude for the blessings of life itself, as well as for the things that sustain your life. Don’t take these for granted, they are great blessings from Source. When you move beyond dissatisfaction for what you don’t have and into gratitude for what you do have, then you are expressing your true inner Divine Light.

SEE THE LOVE IN EVERYTHING……Begin to understand that everything is an expression of Love in some way, because everything is created through and from the Unconditional Love of Source. This may initially be difficult, until you understand that the ultimate gift of Love that we have…..Free Choice. We do indeed choose what we will experience, and we can keep make new choices all the time that can change the path of our experience.

GIVE LOVE…..make an effort to move beyond self-absorption with your own problems as you see them, and be willing to give love to those who need your strength and light. Being willing to Flow the Radiant energy of unconditional love to others will also help you to find the balance more easily, for love is meant to be shared with others. You can be sure that as much as you give out….so it will return to you!

SEEK BALANCE IN ALL THINGS….yes the mantra for this period must surely be …balance…balance….balance…..The more balanced your life and body, the more you will be able to experience the Fifth-dimensional integration of Spirit and Body with Joy. You are indeed aligning Heaven and Earth within your own body.

So...to celebrate the Joy and Power of Unconditional Love, here is a song from Armand and Angelina. This time it is Armand singing "Love is a Boomerang", .......you give it away and it comes right back again.........".

Earth Living
Following Nature’s Cycles

Nature, in all its myriad forms, is the most powerful force on earth. Although mankind has tried, we have not found a way to match its awesome power, but we have found ways to work with it. Science often confirms the wisdom of the ancients who observed and then harnessed nature’s rhythms and cycles to shape and enhance their lives. We can begin to do this in our own lives by first paying attention to our own natural rhythms, such as when we wake or when we feel the need to sleep. If possible, we may want to try to rise and sleep with the sun or live without electricity for a weekend and then monitor how we feel. We can make the choice to eat the foods of the seasons and to seek fresher, locally grown, or organic produce whose own cycles have not been tampered with by technology.

We can create harmony in our homes by making a smooth transition between our indoor and outdoor spaces. By bringing some of the outdoors inside and taking some of our indoor décor out, we can simultaneously enjoy nature and the comforts of home and the feeling that our living space is expanded. Then, whether inside or out, we can lounge on a comfortable piece of furniture and feel the wind, inhale the scent of deeply breathing plants, listen for the many songs of life, and observe the moon and the stars. As we do this more often, we may find ourselves noticing the pull of the full moon on bodies of water, as well as the water in bodies, or the music of the night acting as a lullaby.

When we seek balance in our lives, we want to balance not just our roles in life but also the natural elements in our spaces. Having representations of the elements in the colors, shapes, and textures of our homes will appeal to our mind, body, and spirit. We may find that when we sync ourselves with nature’s rhythms, we ride the waves of energy to feel more in harmony with life and the world around us.

The Week of June 11-18, 2007

by Robert Wilkinson

This week close things out or finish up agreements or preparations as Mercury goes retrograde for three weeks. It's the end of a larger phase, and we now get a chance to look back on what's happened the past 4 months and see how things are connected from a different angle of understanding. We finish the Grand Fire Trine with the Sun trine Neptune providing a lot of Air to finish launching new initiatives, and many should see their work diversifying in some interesting ways. The first half of the week we can get more done than the last half of the week, so plan accordingly.

The "old Moon" is operative until the New Moon kicks off on June 14 at 8:13 pm, which is June 15 in Atlantic Daylight Time and points east. In America it's also Flag Day, so salute your favorite nationalistic symbol as we use Mercury retrograde to look back with sentimentality on feelings that could have been, never were, or echoes from our genetic patterns.

The New Moon is sextile Mars, trine Neptune, sextile Saturn, and in a wide square to Uranus and wide opposition to Jupiter. Since all of these are separating aspects, it would imply that we have all been given a time to be productive and release powerful new forces reorienting our direction of expansion. The New Moon falls the day before Mercury goes retrograde, so at least things will seem more a standstill at a threshold than a backward falling mirror image of things.

This New Moon in Gemini will help us "triumph over entropy," and learn to apply skill in achieving forward movement despite outer binding conditions. Find ways to use every opportunity to enjoy yourself, relax, and re-create whatever you feel needs it in your mind, view, interpretation, speech or attitude. Wherever this falls in your chart is going to be the focus for the next few weeks.

June 11-13 is the last echo of the Fixed T-squares we've been dealing with off and on for two years. The only other time we'll experience this configuration will be the Blue Full Moon of the Eastern Hemisphere on July 29, 5:48 pm PDT, falling at 7 Aquarius-Leo. The T-square at that time will involve Mars in late Taurus squaring Saturn opposition Neptune, and is the last in the series involving Saturn. Expect radical new developments to stem from that lunation, where we will see what is permanent and what is springing forth from Cosmos Itself. After that, there will be no more Fixed T-square lunations until the Full Moon of November 2008.
