Awakening Kundalini and Balancing Your Chakras

chakras 7 color chart on whiteGalpal Lorraine posted on Facebook a link to a Youtube video at –> Hypnotic Tibetan Singing Bowls, Affirmations and Solfeggio Frequencies attuned to the Root Chakra.  She wrote: “I’ve sat through these before but this one is very intense, powerful. Whether you watch the video or just listen with your eyes closed, you will definitely feel a shift.”   I wrote: “Lorraine knows stuff. Have a listen.”  Being in the genre of new age self help spirituality,  I find people do a lot of different exercises to “wake up” the kundalini before they know what they’re doing. It’s one reason there’s so much neurosis and psychosis in the new age community. No one needs to wake anything up, we all just need to learn to balance ourselves. Continue reading

Grow Up and Deal With It

I just checked voice mail for the past few days. To everyone with personality conflicts going on, please keep it to yourself. Learn to get along with whoever’s in your face that you think is maligning you or out to get you. Stop giving them power over your thoughts. They’re in your life because you’re vibrating in the same place. Get it?  Grow up the hell up. Deal with it. Stop telling everyone about it. And I know it’s (kind of) different because you may be paying me to counsel you about it.  But if you’ve been telling me the same story for the past few years, with all due respect, you need to let it go and stop wasting your time and money, NOW. There, I feel better.  I still love you if you’re gossipy and bitchy and always complaining, I just must love you from afar. I know you understand.

Creating more work for myself

Now this is how my mind works.  About 5am, I was going to send a friend a note and thought, oh let me create an Easter card to include.  Then I thought, let me create one for everyone and post it on Facebook.  Then I thought, let me just create a website for it, since it happens every year.  As I was looking for images, I thought WTF does a rabbit and painting Easter eggs have to do with the Christians honoring the resurrection of Christ? So I did some research and found some history and images I liked and created the website and posted it on Facebook and Twitter.  You can see it here: http://www.horizonsmagazine.com/EasterOstara/index.html

Here it is almost three hours after I had the thought to send my friend a quick note wishing happy Easter, and instead created an entire website about it.  That’s how my mind works.  But now Easter morning has a more expanded meaning to me.  I love knowing the deeper significance of holy days in the different traditions.  For me today?  I’m gonna stay home and play in my yard.  I’ve got a lot of oak and pine deadfall I’m going to clear up, and it should be time to cut a new path in my west woods.  There’s a lot of new growth on all the plants that were burnt by winter’s frost.

Have a good Easter.  May your spirit be renewed by the promise that every day is a new beginning.

I don’t try to fix irrational people

bunny-cross-eggAh, Easter weekend.  Yesterday was my day to do billing for the May Horizons Magazine.  It could be a four hour job but I take the time to update labels and listings at the same time, so sometimes it stretches into up to four days.  I couldn’t let that happen this month since I didn’t have 4 days to spare.  So yesterday was a race to the finish and I did it in time to get them to the post office.   Continue reading

My Wednesday

I was real productive yesterday.  I woke up wanting to stay in bed and goof off, but I had work to do.  I figured I’d run into the office real fast and do the work, then rush back to bed for a nap.  I put the April Horizons Magazine online – you can read your Horoscope here.  I ran to the post office, opened mail, went to the bank, went by Jerky’s Jamaican and got some jerk chicken with rice and peas for lunch since I was on Palm Bay Road.  Then I came home andwent around the yard picking up the deadfall and branches I’d cut away over the weekend.  I cut back the dead fronds on my giant bird of paradise, dozens of them.  My mulberry tree is full of giant broad leaves and new mulberries.  I trimmed some branches since they’re very low to the ground now.  It makes a nice shady spot to sit under.  Two months ago it was bare and I could see my neighbor’s house.  Now everything has its leaves again and not only are the turk’s cap and arbicola coming back, I have half a dozen night blooming jasmine coming up again.  Life is good.  Even if I never got my nap.  Sometimes just knowing I can take a nap if I want helps me relax.  As usual, it’s always only about my perception.

Let’s Help Joan Brooks Out, It Just Takes a Minute

Andrea and Joan Brooks Oddz and Endz Outlet

Andrea with Joan Brooks of Oddz and Endz Outlet

One thing I love about our Facebook family is that we can help each other out when we need it, and there are enough of us that it needn’t be a hardship on anyone.  Joan Brooks owns the Oddz and Endz Outlet in Melbourne, FL, a cool and funky thrift and gift shop.  She’s been broken into twice in the last 10 days.  She’s now in a hardship situation with rent to pay – now.

If you could sign on to Paypal and send a donation in any amount to her at oddzandendz@bellsouth.net, she would be so grateful. You can also send a check or money order payable to either Joan Brooks or Oddz and Endz Outlet and mail to 2624 Aurora Rd unit #A, Melbourne, FL 32935.

GOD HAS NO HANDS BUT OURS.  Thank you so much for helping, it will come back to you manyfold.

Being prepared, running out of gas, using law of attraction to manifest 3 little wild boars

Yesterday I drove to Ocala and Cassadaga, and I took my buddy Tod McNeal along with me.  We’re both big nature lovers so we entertained ourselves by pointing out flora and fauna along the way.  We also got to see how far my Toyota Prius would go after the last fuel indicator bar began flashing.  I figured that was my warning signal. I usually get gas at about 2 bars, but I turned west instead of east on Highway 40 and figured I’d catch the Chevron at Lake George Ranger at 170th, several miles down the road. Halfway there, the final bar began flashing. I’d gone 400 miles and that was as far as I’d gone without filling up since I’d had the car. The Prius holds 11.9 gallons of gas. I didn’t know how much I had left. We figured we’d find out soon enough. Continue reading

Question: Why Do I Obsess Over Things So Much? Answer: You Just Need to Replace Your Thoughts

obsessMy friend Domino wrote me last night: Why do I obsess over things so much!?  My fiancee’s ex-girlfriend especially! I know it could be insecurities, but I don’t feel insecure. Ugh. I can’t get over it.. I’m so analytical. It’s aggravating.

I replied: You obsess over it simply because when the thought comes, instead of thinking another thought to distract you, you run the old tape thru your head until it begins the downward spiral of thoughts for you.  If she’s still in his life, ya gotta look at her like she’s your sister or his, and not “his ex”.  Right now he doesn’t still have an attraction to her, but if he senses you not liking her, he will start to feel defensive for her and have feelings to help and defend her. You can help prevent that. Continue reading

My Automatic Emotional Reactions Show Me What I Really Believe

I received a submission for an article and had an interesting reaction from an author’s publicist.  The article was very short, and read:  The Power of Reflexology to Transform Your Life (272 Words)  In these stressful and uncertain times, isn’t it comforting to know that there is a centuries-old practice that can be profoundly calming and therapeutic?   Congratulations! You’ve just discovered Reflexology.  You’ve probably heard about it, but may not be exactly sure what it entails. Reflexology, is “an art and a science that is based on the principle that there are reflex points and areas in the feet that correspond to every organ, gland and part of the body,” according to ______ (the author of this article) , an internationally-renowned practitioner of Reflexology.  There are nearly 15,000 nerves in the feet that innervate and soothe nerves throughout the body. Stimulating key pressure points on the feet strengthens the nervous system, immune system and circulatory system as well as the other systems in the body. There are also reflex points and areas on the ears and hands which, by skillful stimulation with hand, finger and thumb techniques, facilitate the body systems to greater balance.  Reflexology is known to reduce physical and emotional stress, relieve pain, aid in overcoming addictions, and increase energy and focus. Evidence has shown Reflexology to cleanse toxins, assist with weight management, promote creativity, enhance fertility, improve circulation as well as providing an overall sense of well being.   Reflexology – an ancient healing art available right now when we need it most.
