My June 2013 horoscope by Barbara Lee reads: Your relationship arena will be the focus for this month. Stranger things will happen especially when you find yourself falling in love at first sight with someone you have only just met. When endings seem to happen abruptly, know that they have been brewing for a long time and you just have to prepare for a new beginning.

No more waiting to get on with my life
Last night I went to The POD and saw Richard Mekdeci, Sue Riley and Jana Stanfield in concert. Awesome and uplifting as always. I resonate with Jana’s song “I don’t want to be George Bailey waiting for the right time.” I think of a time that for an entire 12 months, a friend and I were waiting for one thing or another before we could get into a routine with each other. A routine where I could sleep and work, and where their routine would not disturb my responsibilities or income. A routine of daily spiritual practice together. It took a year to realize we were not working toward the same goal, although we said we were. I had plenty of time to notice no effort on their part. I chose instead to make excuses to myself and to everyone else for them. DID THEY MAKE ME MISS A YEAR OF LIFE? Nope. I wanted to believe the dream, that we could have this cool soul brother friendship and that we’d come to it as equals. We never got that chance. I could have made another decision at any time but chose not to. My bad. I don’t wanna be George Bailey either, no more waiting.

Jana Stanfield LYRICS:
Every December since I can remember
I’ve watched the same movie,
Despite what it does to me.
It’s a wonderful life but it passes by so fast,
I hate to sound gloomy,
But it’s the story of a guy standing on a bridge,
Seeing all he ever wanted, all the things he never did,
Missing every minute of the life he never lived. Oh… Continue reading
You live most of your relationship in your head
Just got off the phone, a client with a recurring theme: When you start to miss the “one who got away,” remember that 90% of the relationship was all in your head anyway. That means you can recreate it all over again, this time with upgrades.
There’s always an opportunity to make it right
Am I surprised that someone who professes to know how it all works now pretends to not know how they continue to attract that? No. That’s the unconscious personality, professing to know it all. Now begins the integration, since life is starting to get real. When the pendulum swings again, the soul will seek forgiveness. The personality will again express itself as the humble and kind and sensitive, caring one, instead of merely the initial facade of that. It will have a new opportunity to make it right. With everyone. I have no doubts. It’s hidden right now but still inside, awaiting birth, awaiting forgiveness, awaiting recognition. Patience.
Singing that old song is doing you more harm than good
Uh oh, it would appear Chicken Little has caused the sky to fall on her own head… She might consider singing a new song, a song of happy times to come.
A primal meditation sitting in the pouring rain
I wrapped up in a sheet and sat in the pouring rain last night in the backyard. It had been raining off and on, short spells of pouring. I was reminded of a powerful waterfall meditation I’d had once at a retreat, so I prepared for it. I pulled a bedsheet out of the closet and wrapped it around me like a cloak. I went out into the backyard and found a grassy spot to sit on. The skies were cloudy, no moon in sight at 9:30 pm. It was about 77 degrees. I began by preparing myself by breathing rhythmically. Within a few moments, a downpour hit and I could feel it pummel down on me. I had the sheet over my head as well, but within a moment I was soaked through. I’d prepared myself for the chill by doing yogic fire breaths. Continue reading

Your Tarot Card For Today: The Emperor Reversed
Your Card for today. Meditate upon the meaning this card might have for you since it showed up at this exact moment. Not everyone saw this. Not everyone attracted this message onto their monitor. YOU DID. There are no mistakes.
MEANING: The Emperor in reverse can tell us that we are giving our heart more credence than what our mind and logic is telling us. Use your mind AND your heart. You may be easily distracted now and could find it hard to maintain your concentration and focus. Yet concentration and focus is vital now. Continue reading
