There are suddenly new questions on the online customer satisfaction surveys, wanting to know if I am able to understand the English as spoken by their overseas tech. Yes I am, their English is immaculate, but then I am not so annoyed by a foreign accent that I pretend I can’t understand and have to complain to customer service about them. I actually know people who pride themselves on refusing to talk to a tech with a “non-American” accent and insisting on speaking with an American.  That’s like asking the Universe for help and then saying you’ll only accept help if it comes in one particular form. Expand your possibilities. Listen carefully to the whispers of the Universe as it tells you its secrets.  The answer may come in an Indian accent. In communicating with another human being, I am all about content over form, every time.

I love it when my partner and I wake up at the same time and it’s 3:43am, heart chakra time.  The heart is the 4th chakra, with three above and three below.  When the Universe wakes you up early in the morning, hit the mat and give ’em 20  minutes. Ommmm.

How I invite Spirit into my life each day

Oh? Still no moves toward divorce? If he promised it on day one and now blows up when you mention it, consider that a red flag.  I did a reading last August for someone who’s seeing a different side of her new partner.  When they met, he was separated and getting divorced.  Then she discovered there was no divorce ever initiated.  Now she questions everything. She feels they are soul mates but now she is afraid. I told her that her guidance system guides her by how she feels in the moment and resistance always has meaning. It doesn’t necessarily mean don’t move forward, but it does mean reconsider. What is the worst that can happen? That she be happy enough living in the Now with him that it doesn’t matter if he ever gets divorced? Or should she take the lie as a red flag and walk away? She is the only one who knows which thought feels best to her. She is the only one who knows what her greater intent is, and which course of action will lead her closer to her goal. She didn’t need a psychic reading to tell her what her heart already knew.

From Mimzy Wonka: “Several times throughout the day the pressure was so intense that I just had to stop and pray. Each time the thought that came through was that there was another way to be. That thought felt really good but the fear of not ‘knowing’ the other way was very strong. Ultimately the other way is ALWAYS complete Trust in the Spirit.  If I can remember that any upset (such as hate) that I perceive coming ‘from’ others is really coming from inside, then I can ask for help from Spirit. The help is to correct the perception that I have of my(s)elf. My prayer is: Please help me to see that my perception comes from inner beliefs. Please help me to remember that there is another way of ‘seeing’. Please help me to extend only Love.”

I’m in the midst of final layout for the December magazine. Final layout is a week of 16+ hour days at the computer, so I welcome little breaks when I can get them. Yesterday I took a sewing break!  On the way home from the post office and bank, I decided to run into Kohl’s and buy some new pajamas. Being tall and long waisted, I seldom get a great fit in pants without some tailoring.  Pajama bottoms are no different. Clothes are designed to fit a variety of body shapes and heights.  The waistband sat at my hipbones, a little low for me, but do-able. I came home and cut four inches off the hem of each leg, then sewed them together for one long strip 4″ wide.  Using a seam ripper, I cut open the waistband and sewed it flat. Exposing the elastic in the waistband gave me an extra four inches longer in the rise/the waist, exactly where I needed it. I tried them on and they fit perfect. Being tall, I needed that extra four inches!  I used the long strip cut from the pant legs to finish the waistband by covering the exposed elastic. Wasn’t that a lot of work to do on a $20 pair of pjs? No. I’m used to it.  Having done it all my life, I knew it’d be a quick fix.  It took me about an hour.   As Hilda Charlton said, “Take what you have and make what you want.”

I spend the afternoon in sewing heaven
Clothes shopping always leads me to sewing

Friends say they finally feel they are coming out of the fog of the past few months.  They’ve been feeling low energy, almost lethargic, they’ve become sensitive to hot and cold, to noise.  They’ve been restless, unrefreshed by sleep and almost constantly exhausted.  “It’s the solar flares the past ten days, it’s new energies coming in,” I’ve heard some say, “time is speeding up and that’s what we’re feeling.” I don’t think it’s that time is speeding up, rather it feels that way for those who are experiencing it. What they are experiencing is the awakening of the higher chakras as the kundalini rises. That is why the new experiences, the new emotions, the new thoughts and the new confusion.

We are an electromagnetic energy system and our body requires water to conduct electricity in our brains, tissues, cells etc. Without water in the battery the car won’t run! This cannot be over-emphasised – when you are thirsty you are already dehydrated. Drink plenty of water – it also helps to detox the body.

Bundled in my black sleep silks and socks, and giant flannel shirt, I look like a cross between a naughty ninja and a lumberjack.

I must have taken a dozen walks around the neighborhood today, taking breaks during the day.  I hadn’t done that much the past year. It feels good to have the old routine back. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy just walking.
