March 4th



I read something recently that we lose about 7% of our body daily, and take in about 7% new daily. In theory that gives us an opportunity to consciously release some of what we want and even need to let go of daily. The corollary to that is we have an opportunity to bring in some new daily….if we do that consciously we can bring in new thoughts, new structures, and new possibilities.

We can march forth with newness on a daily basis, allowing us to continuously create something new for us. In fact what we more often do is to continuously recreate the same on a daily basis. Yet, the potential is there built into our physical, emotional and spiritual existence the ability to make new; ideas, health, opportunities, relationships, and thoughts.

I am having fun imagining what it would look like if we did constantly create new. Old thoughts and beliefs that have held us back released into the air. Old cells no longer functioning optimally sloughed off making room for healthy new cells fueled by healthier thoughts and beliefs. Letting go of relationships that no longer serves us which makes room for new ones that do serve us. New thoughts allowing us to make new again old relationships we thought were dead for us. Different choices we make for our lifestyles regarding exercise and food choices. You see where this is going. In effect, we consciously create the lives we want to live, to a much greater degree than we most often do. The kicker is that this is always possible for us.

Think of the example of an old saying many of us live by life is hard. Can we imagine instead, us consciously saying to us that life is Grand and all is possible? I can. What does that look like and feel like to you? As we change that belief our self-talk changes from one of negativity to one of positivity. When something bad or tough happens, we can then tell ourselves that this is tough and now let’s see what happens because of this. We will say things like that to us instead of, that is tough and all is bad and I can’t imagine what to do now. Feel the difference? Make a game of this and see what happens.

One of the things I like so much about the astrology work and the family constellations is that they are vehicles that help us to change our old stories and to see us and our lives and family with new eyes or a new perspective. Through astrology sessions, we can see us more dispassionately and with more objectivity without the negative self-talk so we can more easily accept who we are and gain tools to work with to enhance our gifts and reinforce our weaknesses. The family constellation work helps us to accept what was and to move towards what is so we can create a happier present and more vital future.


Shift Your Story/Shift Your Life as you march forth with this way of looking at the world. My father loved the holiday of March 4th and made a fun game of the play on words. Now I can look at marching forth instead of as a drudge march or a fun march, but as a way of moving forward with incorporating the new. If you feel like it, message me with how you are letting go of something old and bringing in something new.


My soothing words of wisdom for the week is about the word 'NO':

Venus and The Art of Love

Image
As I was sitting up in bed and meditating the other morning, I tuned into my stomach area; my gut. It seemed to be talking with me by feeling stiff and wooden. I attuned myself to that area and got a sense that for me, the stiffness was a general feeling of a baseline fear I carry which is related to a fear of rejection. This understanding led me to realize that our guts, where many of our neurotransmitters live, have to break down and digest many things beyond food. Digesting a fear of rejection is a difficult task. It doesn’t digest well or easily. In fact, it shouldn’t digest it. Many of us try to digest feelings, emotions, beliefs, and ideas which are not ours or are not digestible. Digesting means to break things down so that we can absorb what we take in. Do we want to consume someone else’s feelings, or food that is not good for us, or someone’s ideas, etc.? I would say, probably not. Upon making this realization, for me, it is important to accept myself, so that even

The Ninth Key: The Power of Rest and Fallowness

Image
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a Summer’s day, listening to the murmur of water, or watching the Clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.” -   John Lubbock September is here and the days are getting noticeably shorter. Even though the days are still warm in this part of the world, our bodies and minds begin to shift ever so slightly. No longer are the sultry nights filled with sitting out on our front porches drinking iced tea, taking long walks with our dogs, or watching a sunset at 9:00 p.m. If we pay attention to the sunlight and to nature, we find that September begins to initiate a time of rest and fallowness. A time in which we can get ready for what is next to come in the next season of our lives, in our psyche, in our very beings. In our Western society, we tend to over value work and we have created ways in which we work all through the long nights. This is especially true in the East coast an

The Tenth Key: The Power of Our Shadow Side

Image
“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me, and what can be the use of him is more than I can see.” -   Robert Louis Stevenson October is upon us. This is a beautiful time of the year in which the leaves have turned golden, yellow, and red as the weather turns cooler and fires begin to burn in the hearth once again. For some, October culminates in a celebration called All Hallows Eve, or Halloween, which I look at as a symbol of our shadow sides.   Once could say it is a celebration of our dark sides. Think about it.   During the month of October, we become enveloped in . beautiful colors as the leaves change from green to orange, red, then to brown.    I like to think of late autumn as a time to celebrate the beauty found within our dark sides which is why I have dedicated an entire month to exploring the power of doing ‘shadow work’ and why I have identified this process as one of the secret keys to health, wholeness, and vitality. Ironically it can
