Brighter Days Ahead

It is said that we learn from our shortcomings and from the stressful events in our lives.  Let’s face it, who amongst us has not had to deal with difficult periods in their life?  Why is this necessary? Could we not learn from less stressful situations?

 

If life event were our decisions, would we shelter ourselves from these hardships?  Would we choose an easier path to enlightenment?  It is said that the best learned lessons are the challenging ones, but why is that?  We accept the concept that life teaches us what we need to learn, but do we simply accept each of the challenges that are provided by life?  In reality, there is little choice on the lessons that knock on our door and we have to adapt to these conditions.  It is what it is. 

 

Fighting our life lessons serves little purpose.  These lessons in life are what we need to growth.  We just have to dig deep to find our strength to move forward.  A battle that is fought for righteous reasons is a battle well fought, but the end results of a battle which is fought through ego will not be in our favour.

 

We are equipped to handle most of our life’s circumstances.   There are times that we can simply reach within for the answers.  There are also times that we do not feel that we have the strength to continue on.  When we reach these testing times and we have exhausted all our reserves, it is appropriate to seek assistance.  Whether the assistance comes from your higher source or a trained professional, the resolution is attainable and can be found.

 

Understand that we are in control of our reaction to life events.  We always have the capability of putting the issues into proper perspective.  Attitude and belief structure are key ingredients in dealing with and resolving issues that enter our lives.  Trained professional do not do the work for us.  They provide us with ideas and positive reinforcement.  In the end we make the adjustments necessary.

 

Regardless of how you address an issue, you are the one who activates the resolution.  Accept your capabilities and the acknowledge that the strength necessary to rise above each and every challenge resides within you and is always accessible.

You Can Accomplish Anything

Priorities in Life

Do you need to put your life events into proper perspective?  Are you looking at your current situation from the correct vantage point or are you propelled in a negative direction?  If you are having difficulty finding good in your life, perhaps you need to review where you are placing your focus.  How much time do you spend each day dwelling on the negative aspects of your life?  How can your life improve if your main focus is in a negative direction?

 

You draw to you what you concentrate on.  If you focus on disappointment, you will not feel fulfilled.  Why then do we spend time reviewing the disappointments in life over and over until they are the centre of our life? 

 

Beyond a doubt there are hardships during our lives.  We do have to acknowledge these events and either accept them or make changes as necessary but they are not the whole of our lives.  We have a choice on our reactions to these events whether they are the loss of a loved one through separation or death, loss of our jobs, disappointment due to expectations and the list goes on.  How we choose to react to these events is the ultimate cause of our stress.

 

Perhaps we need to figure out our priorities in life.  Do we wanting to stay in a place of sadness, or do we want to move forward in our lives?  What do you want from your life?  Are you seeking happiness and do you actually feel that you deserve happiness?  If upon reflection you come to the conclusion that you want to be happy but perhaps because of past action that for some reason you do not deserve happiness, you might want to review things even more closely.

 

There is a guiding force that resonates within each of us.  This force propels us forward and pushes us in our intended direction.  If we hold on to memories of regrettable past events are we growing and moving forward from this attachment?  Is enjoyment not an important part of life?  Each and every one of us is entitled to be happy no matter what are past may have held.  Part of our purpose is to experience happiness.  Each and every one of us holds the key but it is our choice on whether we use that key.

 

Love yourself enough to allow this happiness to be experienced.  By focusing on what you actually have in life instead of what you perceive as missing in your life, you begin to open the door.  It is right in front of you and has been all along.  You are a spiritual being living in a physical body.  You are enveloped in love and compassion whether you realize it or not.  Open yourself to sharing these gifts with everyone you meet. 

 

Go to bed at night and repeat a mantra that you deserve to be happy and will open the floodgates of happiness in your life. 

 

When you wake up each morning, repeat a mantra that you are lucky to be alive and lucky to continue in this wonderful existence.  Believe you are blessed, and you truly will be.  Change your belief structure one step at a time and in turn you change your life.

Freedom of Choice and Astrology

Some of you have questioned us about Astrology, its predictions and the freedom of choice.  Astrology is an ancient art/science which has a recorded history of more than two thousand years.  To survive and strive for this long, there has to be relevance to it even for the doubting mind.

 

No reliable Astrologer will proclaim that Astrology dictates your life and its events.  The fact is that modern Astrology does have the ability to predict possible events in your life but your respond to these events is always in your hands.

 

When Astrology forecasts probable events unfolding in your life, it can identify the area of life to be affected and whether the experience will be difficult or promising.  Once again, you are in control of your responses.  Your attitude and approach to incidents in your life is a choice. 

 

For example, a client experiencing Uranus on the MC will experience unexpected challenges in the work place and even disruptions to the norm, but their response to these challenges (the way that they choose to deal with the situation) is quite individual. 

 

Astrology may suggest that there are issues within the framework of your marriage or close personal relationships.  Pluto may suggest a transformation on a large scale or even that the dissolution of the marriage is possible, but the individuals involved may either be willing to work things out thereby transforming the relationship into something stronger or they may decide to end the relationship permanently.   It is a personal choice.

 

Astrology can specify time lines when probable events may unfold as well as the duration of the events effects.  Astrology does not dictate your life’s unfolding story, although can foretell probable events and the area of life involved.  Astrology can help you cope and integrate into your life the best course of action.  For every action in life, there will be a reaction.

 

Astrology can assist you in choosing a direction and will also provide you with the timeframes best suited to make positive adjustments to your life.  Astrology can be very specific and can help you with some of your choices.  There are times when you should wait to make a move in a specific area of life and there are times when you should pursue the change immediately only to facilitate a smooth transition or a more productive outcome.

 

Astrology can be used as a tool to gage events and their impact in your life.  It can also provide you with assistance to understand the planetary energies that are in force in your life during transits and progressions.  With some of your life events, it is best to allow life to happen and go with the flow, while other events should be dealt with and used to your advantage.  The decisions you make at times are paramount in how easy or difficult a life lesson can be.

 

Ultimately, Astrology points the way -- you make the decisions.  Your response to life events is always in your hands and you always choose which path to follow.  You can always count on help from outside forces as there is always assistance available.  You are never alone.   Using your own intuitive abilities, your ability to contemplate in conjunction with the assistance from a reliable, educated Astrologer can and will assist you in your endeavours.    

 

When we are faced with huge challenges and you are at odds with life, never hesitate to consult a professional.  We all face these challenges in different degrees and there are those that even Astrology is still not enough.  During these times, seek a psychologist or other professional.  Under most, conditions, however, we are able to address any issue and come up with a reliable solution when we reach within for the answer.

 

“You can accomplish anything in life if armed with the right attitude and tools.  My hope is I can provide you with a useful tool.” ~ Holm Astrology

Priorities in Life

Is it time to put your life into proper perspective?  Are you looking at your current situation from the correct vantage point or are you propelled to a negative outlook?  If you are having troubles finding good in your life, perhaps you need to pay attention to where your focus is placed.  How much time is spent each day dwelling on the perceived “negative” aspects of your life?  How do you expect your life to change if you are constantly focusing on these concepts?

 

You understand that you draw to you what you concentrate on, correct?  Why then would you waste time reviewing these events that you perceive as stressful or negative?  Life certainly does throw us curve balls from time to time.  We have to acknowledge these events and either accept them or make changes to the situations.  They are circumstances that we do not have to own.  If we become stuck in a particular circumstance, we can change our view on the situation.  If it is not acceptable, make the change necessary and then let the past live in the past.

 

Perhaps it is important to review what our priorities in life truly are.  Perhaps we need to focus on these priorities.  Why would we want to stay in a place of sadness?  Do we not want to move forward in our life’s quest?  What do we want from our lives?  Are we seeking happiness?  Do we believe that we deserve happiness? 

 

If upon reflection you come to the conclusion that you want to be happy but perhaps because of past action that for some reason you do not deserve it, you had better review things more closely.  The past is gone.  Today is a new day.  We can no more change our actions of yesterday than we can change someone else’s actions on any day.

 

There is a guiding force that resonates within each of us that propels us forward and pushes us in our intended direction. Do you honestly think that holding on to memories of past errors or actions offers us a rewarding experience?  Are we not meant to enjoy life and be happy? 

 

Each and every one of us deserves happiness.  The door is always open; we just have to decide to let go of what is behind us in order to walk through the threshold. 

 

Focusing on what you actually have in lif--no matter how small that perfect characteristic, event, emotion or thing may be.  Let go of what you think is missing in life. 

 

Go to bed at night and programme your dreams.  Tell yourself that you deserve to be happy and will open the floodgates of happiness in your life.  When you wake up tell yourself how lucky you are to be alive and able to grow through this wonderful existence.  Believe you are blessed because you truly are.  Change your belief structure, one step at a time and in turn, you change your life.  You are a spiritual being living in a physical body.  Recognize the love and compassion that encompasses you.  Feel it......experience it......share it!

Mars in Leo in Astrology

Since we are currently in the sign of Leo, we are going to look at some of the Natal characteristics of Mars in the sign of Leo.  If you have Mars in Leo or Mars in the fifth house (the fifth house is ruled by Leo), the following will apply to you.

 

If you have Mars in Leo and your Mars is positively aspected (especially if not aspected by Saturn), you are an energetic individual.  Your vitality is very noticeable and depending on your Ascendant sign, you possibly could have a strong body and enjoy physical activities.  With Mars in Leo, you love to be on the move and you are agile.  Sports can play an important role in your daily routine especially sports involving running or physical activity.

 

You truly want to be a significant individual to those that matter and will do your best to create a lasting impression.  You want to be known as someone who has succeeded and you make a great leader.  You have a passionate nature and do nothing in half measures.  You will work hard to achieve what you set out to do.  You want to be counted on and will do what you have to do to make sure others are proud of your achievements.

 

You are ambitious and you have a strong tendency to follow your heart when trying to reach your objectives in life.  If it feels right then you will pursue it. 

 

You also have strong morals and principles and will stubbornly adhere to them.  You take pride in how you live your life and would like it if others lived under the same principles as you do.  You really believe that you have to work in this life to achieve success whatever success means to you.  You are determined to succeed at whatever you set out to do.

 

You can be stubborn and domineering when you feel you are right and have great pride although your ego and pride can be your downfall.  Your strong will can help you along life’s sometimes difficult passages and will carry you far in this life.  When you use your sense of humor to your advantage, life goes your way.  You are full of warmth unless you are angered - then watch out!  The temper can be very violent and aggressive.

 

In a love affair, you are very affectionate and will shower your lover with love and compassion.  However, you want recognition for this.  You can be rather dramatic and love to have centre stage.  You will be very faithful once you decide that this is the right person for you, and you expect the same treatment.  The conversations that occur in love affairs are very direct and open.  You do not hide your intense feelings of love for another person and once again it is important that you get the same in return.

 

In general, your demeanor is generous and warm spirited, and you love with all your heart.  You take failure in love very seriously and can feel hurt very deeply.  It is important to let go of these feelings as they can bring you to depths that no one should enter. 

 

Love is a beautiful experience and you are willing to share your all in this area of life, faithfully and forever.

Meditation as a Healing Modality

There are many modalities or ways to experience or enhance healing.  One example of this would be Reiki.  Have you also considered healing through the act of meditation?

 

Most of us understand the wonderful experiences possible through meditation, but how many of us use our meditations to benefit our bodies and the bodies of those around us.  Have you practiced healing through meditation with a group of individuals? 

 

A small group of like-minded individuals or a self practice can have lasting effects on the overall condition of the body.  All that is necessary for results is faith but even if the belief structure is still relatively faint, you can still benefit from this practice.

 

There are several methods use to facilitate healing meditation although whichever one feels right and strengthens your belief structure will work best for you.  You can actually come up with your own system, as it only matters that the intent to heal is there. 

 

If necessary put on a meditation tape that is very soothing and offers you comfort and peace.  Use your normal practice of meditation and take about 10-15 minutes to get deep into your own personal meditation mindset.   Once there, focus on your body and ask your higher self and your spirit guides to assist you in creating a healthy body.  Use a mantra that suggests that you are already healthy and continue with this mantra for a few minutes to initiate the process. 

 

Focus or draw your attention to the other people in the room, if you are doing a group meditation.  Send out healing energy to each of them.  Imagine a line of energy surging from your body and aligning with everyone else’s energy in the centre of the room or a specific point that you have previously agreed upon.

 

Send loving energy to everyone in the room but use this central vertex as the concentration of this energy. Allow the energy to flow where it needs to go.    Remember you are just the vehicle for this energy and the higher sources will work through you and spread the energy to where it is most needed. 

Send this loving energy outward and know that it is not from you but a higher source.  Ego must not exist with this practice as you are only the conduit for this energy not the creator.  Healing may not be immediate but the peaceful affect of this practice will be.  The actual healing may come in different forms as the mind must first be healed in order for the body to react.  This practice can assist in the realization of why you have been stressed or ill.  With this realization, you can release the pent up frustrations or hurts that has been locked in your body and mind.

 

Regular practice will have the greatest benefits and meditation with and on self is perfectly acceptable.  You deserve to be happy and healthy.  Nothing from your past has authority over you unless you allow it to.  We all deserve healing!
