Jesus!

"Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication." Algernon Black

Energy Reading for July

July can bring some wonderful news!!!

It's a great time to do soul-searching and Spiritual work.

July's energy infuses a beautiful warm loving vibe, lovely for getting friends and family together just the same as last month. Planning a big get-together will bring joyous experiences and make good fond memories to look back on!.... And they say, you can't plan the good times. You can do anything when your heart is open and you are consciously connected to the Universe.

I know there have been a lot of signs and messages floating around and some of you may have received some news in the past few weeks (or months) and given the current vibration if you have any questions or concerns about your signs and messages bring out your Spiritual tools (tarot, crystal ball, automatic writing, etc) and ask (or share your concerns) questions.

Time to get serious and conquer some of your dreams. July offers great potentials to re-adjust our Spiritual focus, over come lessons and make room for new growth. Take a good look at the situation and see what is getting in the way.

Avoid really closed-off individuals or very negative individuals. If someone in your social circle (friends, family or work related) has been down in recent times you could help them by doing something nice. Try involve the person towards something Spiritual and positive. It can be anything from giving them a book or doing a Card Reading together.

The bank balance is looking good once more and this will bring a smile, especially to the ardent saver. If you have to travel do it now (in this month) or even in August and after that stay put! The energy is about to thicken bringing more lessons although it's not all bad news and it might be great news! However, where packing, booking flights, arranging accommodation and so on – things might get messy bringing annoyances which can be avoided if you decide to go now instead.

There may be some awful news with things going wrong in the world and generally in the news. What appears in the media is a reminder to us all. Remember it is important to take care of yourself, it is your primary goal to awaken and adjust to the Earth's current energy. Those further along the Spiritual journey of evolution are rather summoned in July to raise awareness.

At the beginning of the year I wrote about our Light Work Task and I'd like to bring that back here.... don't forget to do something nice for someone else this month. I hope you have been picking out one person for each month and done something nice for that person.

You will have an interesting month, be it, you discover what your strange signs and messages are, or decode that creepy dream you've been having. No matter what happens this month you will be surrounded by a beautiful warm energy, that, for some will bring some wonderful rewards! For most, will gently pull at your chords compelling you to enter in to your Spiritual self deeper once more.

In Light & Love....

Book Review – The Road Less Travelled

by M. Scott Peck

a new psychology of love, traditional values and spiritual growth

Most of us avoid looking at and solving problems because it is a painful process however doing so results in greater pain and an inability to therefore grow mentally and spiritually. Dr M. Scott Peck is a Psychiatrist draws heavily on his experience compiled his book with valuable suggestions in ways we can face our problems can enable us to reach a higher level of understanding ourselves and our suffering. Greatly influential, it has now sold over six million copies and has changed many people's lives round the globe.

"This book changed my life. It may change yours." - Mary Pyne

M. Scott Peck

Midlife and You

Every one is capable of self discovery and often this results in positive contribution towards the individual and humanity, and it all begins with you. The midlife offers everyone an opportunity to become who they are. For many of us we will live a life that is masked and conditioned under the basis of our society and family upbringings and influences, and suggestions mostly from media.

Carl Jung, a famous Psychologist, taught between the ages of 35 years and 55 years, an individual would experience thoughts and feelings that would challenge ones belief of who one really was, and wanted to be. Carl Jung described it as predictable stages of life, one being midlife.

Midlife can be a progress of the following; presenting yourself as a different person (personae) based on your situation, for instance, you'd behave differently around your friends, differently with your children, differently with your wife/husband and so on. Experiencing the desire to remove the personae you wear in different situations and re-assess who you are underneath, and re-integrate who you truly are, to achieve a sense of self. Many people change careers, becoming more spiritual, discover a sense of purpose in the world, and begin doing whatever they have always wanted to do or achieve, even changing the way they dress or present themselves.

Jung suggested the ages of between 35 years and 55 years with 40 years being the turning point in one's life because most people had finished raising their children, surrendered their jobs, chased after their passions and make obvious changes to themselves and their personalities.

If you study the current vibration, you'll realise that people are experiencing midlife several years younger with 30 years becoming the new 40 years "turning point". We are simply becoming more aware, discovering our passions earlier in life, whether we are parents or not, and get on our paths regardless of outside circumstance.

The midlife phase, be that 30 years, 40 years or 55 years, any biological age, is a sure time of transition for you to re-integrate who you are. Fulfill unfulfilled longings, recognise the setbacks you have set up which have prevented you from doing so in the past. Make life changes to reflect the new, and simply get to know your true self then reshape your life based on this fresh understanding.

The midlife period presents you with the chance to rework the threads of your existence so your life has purpose beyond its current direction – especially if it is mostly about mundane or practical requirements. I'd like to add, for the Astrological mind, interestingly enough, many of Jung's observations and theories around the process of individuation (the progress) occurred as he experienced the Uranus opposition phase of his own astrological midlife transits.

Most of your midlife transition takes place internally and runs a course to it's own duration by whatever is necessary, although most individuals feel so compelled to make changes, often sudden and wonderful. The results are pleasing, the individual often seems to glow under a new light, with many people finding their spiritual self during a crisis too.

For some a midlife crisis can be a worrying experience and may cause bewilderment and confusion. If this happens, the help of a caring professional may be needed. Talking about how you are feeling is important and can help your phase greatly, avoid bottling up your thoughts and feelings as this can hinder your progress or as Jung describes it, individuation. Your midlife is a beautiful part of who you are and a crisis is not necessary especially if awareness is present so enjoy the process, and what you find will be beautiful. What you find will be You.

Pilates

Pilates is a series of up to 500 exercises. Controlled movements that are performed slowly with intense concentration but with few repetitions, usually 10 or less. The goal is to strengthen and stabilize what is known in Pilates as the Powerhouse of the Anatomy. This being the core muscles of the abdomen, the lower back and buttocks, which allows the rest of the body to move freely.

It is believed that working the deepest layer of abdominal muscles builds a girdle of strength for the spine. A stronger and more stable spine results in improved posture, stance, walk and over all balance. The arms and legs are also worked in Pilates training. Pilates is taught in closely supervised sessions so instructors can carefully observe your movements for proper body alignment and precise rhythm. Pilates devotees say that they move differently all day long!

It takes time to learn the basics of Pilates, a typical session lasts 45 minutes to an hour and your workout will be tailored to your individual needs. No special clothing other than comfortable attire is required. With the guidance of your instructor, you'll start off with simple movements and gradually progress to the more advanced exercises.

In Pilates it is always the quality of your movements that is crucial. It takes most individuals about six weeks of twice-weekly sessions for the subtleties of the movements to become second nature. Once you have thoroughly learned the techniques by working on the machines, you may be able to achieve the same results working on mats, either in supervised group classes or on your own.

Pilates is beneficial for people of all ages. The training increases strength and flexibility, stimulates circulation, enhances joint range of motion and promotes proper musculo-skeletal alignment. In addition it increases body awareness and improves coordination. Not surprisingly, many M.D.s, orthopedists, chiropractors, physical therapists, massage therapists and sports medicine specialists refer their patients and clients to Pilates instructors for rehabilitation after joint injury or surgery. It has been found to be particularly valuable in preventing and treating repetitive motion injuries and tendinitis in baseball players, golfers and tennis players.

Pilates can also be effective in relieving chronic back and neck pain, and may be useful for those suffering from the pain of arthritis. In addition, it can improve abdominal-muscle strength and posture during pregnancy and after childbirth. Furthermore, because Pilates engages the mind as well as the body, it is known as a stress reliever.

Jesus!

A burglar broke into a home and was looking around. He heard a soft voice say, "Jesus is watching you".

Thinking it was just his imagination, he continued his search. Again the voice said "Jesus is watching you".

He turned his flashlight around and saw a parrot in a cage. He asked the parrot if he was the one talking and the parrot said, "yes."

He asked the parrot what his name was and the parrot said, "Moses." The burglar asked, "what kind of people would name a parrot Moses?"

The parrot said, "the same kind of people who would name their pit bull Jesus".
