Planetary Transits and Cosmic Interplay for the week of Aug 11–17

Just do it. Failure is not an option. No guts, no glory. Do or do not, there is no try.

Common sense in our culture holds that only hard work begets rewards and that doing, and not being, is the hallmark of success. To reach a goal, we are told to aim high, work hard, put the pedal to the metal and the nose to the grindstone and get ahead. On top of that, our level of success also dictates our self-esteem. If we do not find success in our worldly endeavors, we cannot claim to be upstanding, or even whole, individuals.

Mary Beth Shaw is an energy healing practitioner with whom I recently enjoyed a session.  The experience was a roller coaster of emotions that left me feeling more strongly connected to my Self and my loved ones, and also with a clearer vision of my purpose and personal priorities.

In order to find and define ourselves, we often need to get away. What is it about travel that can teach us about true presence?

Aquarius New Moon – Feb 15,  2018

Sagittarius New Moon—Dec. 17, 2017 Welcome to another New Moon and an opportunity to understand the energies for the month and take a proactive stance in what is best for you! This month’s New Moon takes place in the sign of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is a fire sign that uses her quest for many different kinds of experiences to answer questions about life. The symbol of Sagittarius is the Centaur: half horse and half human. The horse portion represents the wilder side of being free and needing to roam.

Basmati sits down with Emily, the Angel Coach, to talk about her personal journey and how she shares with you the power of your own intuition and remembrance.

Sandalwood, to me, smells like the inside of a temple, like deep meditation, like prayer. It is the scent of a third eye chakra open and aware, peering into the cave of darkness to access wealths of insight and divine inspiration.
