I’d Like to Acknowledge…

So I’m going to be very honest with you all in that I’m not going to give you much of an intro to this week’s forecast. I’m getting ready to head out for a full day of music at the BottleRock festival in Napa and don’t want to miss a note. 

Enjoy the forecast!

With Love.

Notice those around you and see them in the light of gratitude. Acknowledge their part in the unfolding of your life and the support that they bring. It is time to understand and acknowledge the underlying reasons for their actions when done through the true light of love.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Featured Question:

Q: Please clarify what you mean by “understand and acknowledge the underlying reasons for their actions”.

A. When one is attempting to create feelings of autonomy the support of others may appear as the desire to control or manipulate. This often creates division in the relationship as one is left feeling underappreciated and the other overwhelmed or resentful. In understanding and acknowledging the reasons behind the actions of support – if motivated by love – one can begin to view the situation through the lens of gratitude and not through the wounds of the past. Whether one desires to accept the support is not the issue, it is to accept or decline with a heart of gratitude that will leave both parties feeling respected and empowered. Now is the time to examine the relationships where this dynamic occurs and begin to heal through shifting to the lens of gratitude.

Start a Movement

We all know that exercise is a good thing, right? And oftentimes when we think of exercise we think about the gym, or something on the strenuous side, though what about just a little more motion? Instead of beating ourselves up for not exercising on a consistent basis (speaking for myself here), what if we made a pledge to start by doing a few things throughout the day to get our bodies moving? Instead of finding a parking space right up front, maybe park a little farther out. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, and so on. If these aren’t doable for you, then what about taking a moment here and there to stretch? I know that I really have to stay conscious of giving myself a break from the computer throughout the day. If I don’t my body definitely suffers and I end the day in hunch over knots (fun!).

This week’s forecast states that now is the time to instill some good body moving habits. Whether you take on a new exercise plan, increase your current method of exercise, or get moving after a period of inactivity, just do whatever feels enjoyable and don’t overdo. Remember, this is for your well-being and what feels right for you. This is not about competition, or exercising because the media says you have to look a certain way. It’s all about you feeling better being you.

With Love.

This is a time for more physical activity. Increasing activity through movement helps calm the overactive mind. Movement releases tension that accumulates when the body is stagnant and the mind is active. It does not matter the method of movement one chooses. It is simply beneficial that one move.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Featured Question:

Q: Is this need to calm the mind through movement particularly important this week? If so, why?

A. The energy of all things is cyclical and ebbs and flows. Now is a time of flow. This energy of flow is gentle in its current, yet it is useful in that it allows one to balance the mind with the increased physical activity in a subtle, less challenging way. This makes an easier transition into forming new habits. A consistent habit of using movement to calm the mind brings balance to energetic flow and deters the cycle of unbridled activity followed by exhaustion. Due to the gentle nature of this energetic flow, it is a useful period to create the habits that support this balance. Doing so with lead to an overall more peaceful existence.

Community Service

I really love this week’s forecast. It gives me so much hope. I don’t know about you, but I can certainly attest to the fact that things have felt a bit like a rollercoaster ride these last few months. As the days grow longer and summer is on the horizon, what better time to get out in your community and get reconnected?

With Love.

From Over There: 5.18.14 Weekly Forecast

There is now entering a phase of increased activity and of increasing connection with those around you. Open to deeper connections with those who are currently present in your life, and forge new connections with others. Now is an auspicious time to build new community and rebuild present community.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Featured Question:

Q: Can you speak more on the rebuilding of community? Is there something that needs fixing?

A. The past few months have been a period of release of previous tumultuous times. Many have experienced struggle. This struggle has come in the form of lack of financial resources, emotional turmoil, and loss. This has caused many to retreat from connection. It has caused them feelings of disconnect with their community. Now is the time to rebuild and strengthens bonds of the community. Now is the time to reach out to one another for support. Know that you are beginning to enter a phase of deeper understanding for one another. The emotional upheaval is beginning to lessen. This creates greater self- awareness and an increased awareness of others. The energy is becoming less focused on the self and more focused on the greater whole of humanity. It is time to rebuild relationships by both offering support and care to others, and accepting support and care from others. Know that you are not alone.

Mystery Gift

I have to admit to being a bit of a control freak from time-to-time (those closest to me are probably going, “uh…ya think?”). I like to plan things out and usually start my day with a checklist in my head of what I want to accomplish, even on my days off. I only tell you this, because I want you to know that if you are at all challenged with staying present and not having a running to-do list in your head at any given moment I completely understand where you’re coming from.

Wanting to have everything figured out and planned out all the time is like trying to control the sometimes uncontrollable. We can’t always know what’s going to happen, who’s going to show up, or when it will occur. Not all of the time, anyway. For those of us who like things neatly stacked and organized this can be a challenge, but it can also be a gift. It can be a gift in reminding us that life is constantly changing, never static, and meant to be fluid. Adjusting the sails and allowing the ship to change course here and there when we don’t yet see land on the horizon doesn’t have to be scary. It can actually be exciting, exhilarating and liberating. So this week allow yourself to revel in the mystery. I myself am going to do my best to let go of the wheel and see where I land.

Weeeeeeee!

With Love.

There is an undercurrent of mystery. Do not allow frustration at the inability to see the end result override your sense of accomplishment. Use this time to practice presence and appreciation for each moment as it unfolds.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Featured Question:

Q: How do we better practice being present and in the moment? Especially when doing something we don’t necessarily enjoy?

A. Understand that each moment is a gift, and that in each moment there is something to be grateful for. Listen deeply to the words spoken of those around you as they are expressed. Look directly into their eyes and see them as they speak. Listen.

If experiencing a situation that feels unpleasant to you, be aware of your breath and body. Breathe deeply and release tension from the body. Allow yourself to shift perspective. Doing so will lessen the degree of feelings of unpleasantness. The practice of presence releases worry and fear of the future and removes the tarnish of the past that cloud the present. Let this be your way of being.

Let Go...Let In...

This week, once again, is all about letting go. More specifically though, it's the letting go of fear that can keep us stuck and unable to move forward. The fear that gets in the way of creating what we want. The fear that makes us think we’re less than who we really are. And when we feel less than who we really are, we either don’t feel worthy of going for what we want or capable of doing it. The trick is to get rid of the fear, or at the very least quiet it down enough so we can still go for what we want. Even if the jitters are jitterbugging around inside of us.

You’ll see that this week’s question is actually two questions. And part of the answer talks about “viewing the world through the energy of your heart”, which is something I want to address here. Some of you will get what it means immediately, but there may be a few of you who are wondering exactly how to do that. It’s quite simple, actually. All you need to do is take a nice, deep breath in, close your eyes, and then draw your attention to your heart. Just bring your mind there and focus on that place for a minute. The more you do this the easier it is and you won’t have to close your eyes to do it. Just focus there and you’re there. Doing this puts you in a more compassionate and calmer space. It also takes you out of fear and gives you better clarity to get to the real "heart of the matter".

So take a deep breath in…

With Love.

Now is time to continue to shed the old to make way for the new. Let go of the fear that binds you. Let go of the fear of loss. Understand that in letting go you open to many more blessings to enter into life. Understand that in letting go it creates a richer, more fulfilling life with richer, more fulfilling relationships. To understand this is to understand the key to working with all of creation.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Featured Question: (this week is a two-part question)

Q: Can you clarify for us a bit more what “the key to working with all of creation” means?

A. When you realize your ability to work with all of creation, you understand yourself as co-creator with creation. When you understand yourself as part of creation you understand yourself as creator as well. It is this understanding that shows you your ability to create that which you desire in life. If you function from the perspective of creator you will naturally choose options that better serve you and your greater happiness.

Q: Ok, how do we get to that place of functioning from the perspective of creator?

A. View your world through the energy of your heart. Whenever in doubt shift your consciousness there. Live from this place and you will begin to see your true desires, not those created from fear. Doing so will increase your happiness. Doing so will allow greater abundance of that which brings you joy. Doing so will create more fulfilling and deeper relationships.

Creating A New Pattern

Similar to last week, this week’s forecast suggests we stay in a space of allowing, though the energy is a little more active. It also suggests that it’s also a good time to pursue releasing all of the stuff that may have come up during the previous ultra-intense weeks. I’m not saying that things aren’t still a little on the intense side, it’s just a different kind of intensity. Instead of the in-your-face blast of things we need let go of being hurled at us, this energy is slightly gentler, and is the beginning of a good period for processing. And this is definitely a good thing, because being in a state of feeling like the shit is constantly hitting the fan doesn’t do anything but leave us all feeling overwhelmed and with our defenses up.

Use this time to gently let go of what isn’t working for you, and as the message below says, be kind to yourself. It’s all just a continuous life process anyway, it just happens to be a particularly good time energy-wise to do it. Relax in to it and release as things come up. This isn’t the time to try and force change or do any emotional heavy lifting. That’ll come soon enough.

With Love.

From Over There: 4.27.14 Weekly Forecast

There is a deepening of allowing. Now is the time to stay ever aware of the present moment. The energies of change that were intensified have brought forth into the conscious awareness that which is needing transformation. Now is the time to stay conscious of resistance in letting go of old patterns of behavior and thought in order for transformation to occur. It is time to allow the release of old patterns to make way for the new.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Featured Question:

Q: What can we do to help release old patterns that aren’t working for us anymore? Especially when everything around stays the same and may still support these old patterns?

A: To be aware of the patterns as they arise. Acknowledge them. To be aware of the pattern as it occurs allows the ability to correct the course of action or course of thought. Accompany this with replacing the action or thought with a more supportive action or thought. Maintain this pattern of replacement. Through repetition you will move out of the desire for holding onto the old pattern. Understand that not all patterns will release with equal speed. Be patient and kind to yourself. Do not judge or degrade yourself. To do so will slow transformation. Allow transformation to unfold without judgment for continuous release.

Up Your Allowance

I don’t know about you, but this last week was pretty intense. That doesn’t mean it was necessarily bad, but it just felt that things that needed clearing blasted through at warp speed. Although it was a little overwhelming at times, I hope that it hasn’t left you feeling completely worn out. But if it did, this is the perfect time to rest up. Instead of hyper-focusing on what needs to change or taking steps to create change, use this time to take a much needed deep breath after the energetic marathon we’ve just experienced.

Breathe in, let it go, and ahhhhhh…

With Love.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

From Over There: 4.20.14 Weekly Forecast

Much energy that has been amplified is lessening in intensity. This is now a state of greater receptivity. It is time to relax the mind and pursuits and give space for allowing. Bring your awareness to practicing inner stillness. Doing so will bring back a sense of equanimity.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Featured Question:

Q: Last week was pretty intense, and the forecast for this week state that things are starting to calm down. I know that now is a time to allow instead of pursue, but what does that really mean? Stop everything we’ve been doing? What if something comes along that we need to take action on?

A: It is a time to use this energy for your benefit by relaxing increased action of pursuit. It does not mean absolute inaction as there may be steps that one needs to complete, it is rather the time to release the need to push toward a goal. The seeds have been planted and are being planted. Time and space is needed for the seeds to grow. It is time to nourish the self. Nourish the self with nourishing thoughts and food. Soon will be the time for increase action, now is the time to relax and allow.
