New Dark Moon - Feb 18, 2015

We are all affiliated with the energy of the moon.  It moves us, it affects us and the cycles of the moon represent different things at different times.  Today’s new moon is a special one:  A DARK MOON.  This means there is no sun reflecting on it today so it seems dark in our sky.  Todays moon falls in 29 degrees Aquarius and falls in Aquarian Decan 3 and falls in what is called Delta Hydrus in Hydrus, the male water snake, a constellation that slithers by the South Pole.  It is also the closest moon of the year so it is a SUPER, DARK, NEW MOON!  The next super moon does not occur till March 2015.  This new moon falls in the 29th degree of Aquarius. It marks a moment right before the Sun transitions into the magical, empathetic and caring sign of Pisces (quite literally since the Sun enters Pisces approximately two minutes after it takes place).  It is a chance to find parts of your belief systems that create your personality that you want to change, and change them for good. It is a chance to be kinder and gentler to yourself while still making amazing changes. 

In Astrology, the 29th degree is the last degree of a sign and it marks a significant turning point.  So many of you are at that tipping point of trying to make a change and just being the change.  The “change” becomes permanent and no longer something you have to strive for. Aquarius is about thinking more than just yourself but thinking more in a universal viewpoint and this allows you to let go of fear of the ego.   This helps you to not be afraid to do the things you want to do and get them out of thought and into action and really sets the stage for the next 6 months.  It is where you can create Magic in this moon and create the life you want to live.  The new moon in 29 degrees in Aquarius makes what seems impossible, possible, creating the right space for things to happen and synchronicities with the universe.  Meditate tonight on life purpose as the new Super moon brings in an acute awareness to energy, so take advantage of it.

This makes new moon energy perfect for making changes that last.  Changing the foundation of belief systems so you are not “faking it till you make it”.  The dark new moon means there is a fresh start; you are planting in a fresh field.  You have peace and serenity, no weeding and no snakes to attack you.  You can take your time and be in thought to sow new seeds of intention no matter what you planted before.

This is the second new moon in Aquarius and it is something very special.  Where the moon is in with the tipping point in Pisces you can make radical changes that last as Pieces rules the ridding of the old.  Items you can use during this new moon to help set an alter of intent are: clear quartz to clear your energy and connect you, black onyx to help ground you in the field of positive changes, lavender or sandalwood oil and flowers.

I am not an astrologist, but thanks to Crystal Bichalski's article, here are some of her thoughts on how this Super Moon will affect your specific Astrological sign.

Aries: Your magic is coming from within or something secretive with this Supermoon. The hidden sector of your life is being highlighted and this is a good time to take a step back and get to know the real you. Opportunities or awareness could begin that help you make some sort of psychological breakthrough which could be ever so freeing. Secrets could come out or you might find yourself hanging out with someone in secret. Some new awareness or event could stem that comes totally out of the blue or in an unexpected way.

Taurus: Time to make some magic on the social scene! This is a great time to be with friends or embark upon creating a new group of some sort. Some new information or awareness about a group you belong to may reveal itself. You may also find that a lot of new invitations to various events start coming your way.

Gemini: If you’ve been looking for a new job or someone to tell you that you’ve been doing a good job—this Supermoon magic could deliver. Something brings you into the public eye or puts you at the forefront of people’s mind. You will likely find yourself in a more public place or in a spot where others are looking upon you—in a good way. You’ve likely worked hard to get to this point so embrace it!

Cancer: Your magic could take you on a new spiritual journey, a long distance trip or begin the planning of one. Matters involving higher education (including new jobs), in-laws and things of a foreign nature could also come to the surface. If you’ve been thinking about going back to school—this is a great time to do so. The educational and teaching realm in your personal astrology is heightened now.

Leo: Your magic can be found in the realm of intimacy, help from other people, investments and inheritance/legacy themes . A new intimate/sexual relationship could begin or you have a new sexual encounter. Matters of deep nature may surface and you could begin to make discoveries about things you’ve hidden on a subconscious plane. The possibility of a financial gift of some sort could also surface.

Virgo: Close and personal relationships—including business partnerships are your focus. This Supermoon magic could deliver a marriage proposal or an initiation to embark upon some sort of new partnership. An offering of some sort could be on the table. If you own your own business you may find more clients initiating services from you.

Libra: The push to get a little more organized in your daily life could overcome you. Spring cleaning could come a little early for you this year. This is also a great time to embark upon a new routine or start something new at work. Perhaps a new project comes about or you are more involved with a co-worker. If you’ve been thinking about getting a pet, this Supermoon could deliver the magic you need to make the move and commit.

Scorpio: Creative energy is off the charts for you. If you’ve been looking for some personal inspiration this is a magical zone for you to tap into. You might also feel yourself very connected to your children—especially your oldest. It’s time to have a little fun, let loose and maybe even embark on a new romance or love fest.

Sagittarius: Matters of your home, family, personal environment and real estate are your Supermoon focus. Maybe you find yourself in a new home or involved in something new regarding one of your parents. This is also a great time for you to self-examine your roots/spiritual foundation and become very connected with yourself. Your magic touches the realm of karma and past lives in your personal astrology—be aware of new people you’re meeting. You might feel like you already know them from somewhere.

Capricorn: This Supermoon is affecting your communications realm and you may find yourself in some new types of communications (including all things gadgetry!). New learning activities could also be heightened. A quick trip—even purchasing a new car or mode of transportation could come about. Something new involving a sibling, cousin or aunt or uncle could crop up. If you’ve been waiting for news—this could be the time it’s finally delivered.

Aquarius: Things that you value or possess are a central theme of this Supermoon. Thoughts about your financial resources may come into prime focus. You may begin thinking about what you need to do in order to acquire more assets or use your current resources to meet your goals. A new opportunity to make more money or gain a new possession could be in the beginning stages.

Pisces: It’s time for you to come out from behind the scenes and let people see your special magic front and center. Personal emphasis, how you project yourself and self-focus are key for you. With your birthday already here or quickly approaching, this is a great time to start thinking about you and I know that’s quite difficult since you likely put others first! Start thinking about a new health regimen, improving your look (time to go shopping!) or taking steps to improve you.

Psychic Vampire’s Class [Free Download]

Psychic Vampires or energy drainers, chances are you have a few in your life.  They hide at work, at home, school and even those passing by.  How can you tell if you have an energy drainer around?  Simple, look in the mirror.  You are your own drainer.  There is no such thing as a psychic vampire because of one simple universal law.  The Law of Free Will.  Nobody can take from you, but you can give to them then complain about it.  I am not denying that you feel drained around these people, but I am questioning as to why.

Let’s look at some common misconceptions about Psychic vampires from a website.  Characteristics Of The Host (The Energy Vampire’s Victim).  An individual who’s life force energy is being drained by an energy vampire will often feel the following:

Tired.  Yes it takes a lot of energy to judge somebody as negative all the time.

Bored.  You were born to create love not negativity so yes your body will react to creating what is not from a higher source so you stop it and move.

Lack of Motivation. When you are creating nothing good, your Spirit disengages from creation until you change your thought pattern to create something good.

Become Irritated.  Grumpy people judge all day and use their energy for condemning people.  You reap what you sow.

Overwhelmed.  Yep it is hard for you to not be in your natural state of love and peace.  So when you are going against your grain, you are often overwhelmed because you are fighting your natural being.

Disoriented.  Not knowing who you are and where your motivation is coming from, joy or fear can set your inner compass off.  I am glad blaming others feels bad.

Depressed or Feel Out of Sorts (even after a brief encounter).  How sad it is for your soul that just wants to love and be loved to judge if a person is attacking them or they person you think is a vampire is just having a hard go of it right now.  Instead of reaching out with love and observing them and not taking it SOOOOO personally,  YOU are acting negatively.  You judge, you shield, you take it personally, you protect, you throw shots back, and you change your make up from love to fear.   I would feel out of sorts too if I was created from the highest and purest blood line that there is.  The Universe and your God is in your bloodline.  You are stronger than what you label VAMPIRE.

If this makes more sense to you than you lost your free will and are meant to suffer around this person or event and would like other options, click the link below and it will take you to a free downloadable class from our head instructor about the truth behind “psychic vampires”.  Let’s shed some light on the topic shall we?

Help I am an Empath and it Hurts!

As men and women that are trying to function in a day-to-day life in this busy world, we come into contact with other people all the time.    If you have ever been told you are an Empath, meaning you can feel and sense others emotions, then you know sometimes it can get too be too much. 

Take a look at the picture above and choose the picture that you feel describes you the best.  Below we will discuss what each choice can mean and a message for you on where you might channel your energies.

Hand holding on to FIRE

You may be an angry empathic.  You got very tired of it hurting so much that you decided to fight back.  Justice and fairness are very important to you and you will fight for the little guy, because you identify with them so much.  You probably started by becoming sarcastic to reflect the pain and cover it up with a joke, but then you became sarcastic more and more until it turned to anger.  You may now have a short fuse, hate explaining yourself and police other's activities.  That is the bad part.  The good news is that you would be amazing to help others find their own voice.  When you rescue them they find your voice not their own. 

The key here is to remember that you got hurt before you got angry.  Address the hurt not the anger.  People deal better with hurt people than angry people.  Allow yourself to be venerable with the right people.  Most Empaths are telepathic and can sense and read other peoples thoughts.  Remember that others cannot and it is vital that you take the time to actually talk and communicate with them.  Soothe the root chakra so it does not have to be so defensive and use the 4-7-8 breathing techniques.

The Isolated Monkey

Oh my dear little Empath.   You have such a gentle soul and you are not a fighter.  It hurts when you watch TV shows that have violent and when you see a sad picture, it can physically hurt your heart.  When you saw the monkey you probably thought AWWW and just wanted to pick him up and cuddle him to tell him everything is going to be all right.   You my friend get overwhelmed and need your down time away from it all.  This is a beautiful thing to do, just make sure you do not do it too much that you start to not like people because you cannot control your emotions.

Have compassion yes, but wounding yourself and hiding is not the answer.   Make sure you get out and interact with people that do what you love.  Find a hobby and join others in it.  Most isolated Empaths like to read, well find a book club.  If you are going out and feel overwhelmed simply breath out love instead of taking in second hand emotions.  Expand yourself with love instead of hiding in fear.  Fear attracts fear and love attracts love.   You are amazing at getting others involved and including them.  Getting the wallflowers off the wall is your gift.  You will do it gently and passionately.  It’s ok little monkey, you can come play.

Praying Kitten

The people pleaser.  Please, please, please like me.  You are busy running around living everybody else’s life, trying to make sure everybody else is happy that you forgot to make yourself happy.  You do not respect your boundaries and say yes when you say no.  This makes you resent the people you say yes to when you should say no.  You will feel unappreciated and taken advantage of.  Please love yourself.  You would do amazingly well  volunteering so you can hear THANK YOU more often and feel appreciated.  You make great teachers and leaders but have to let people fall down sometimes so they can learn to stand up or you will be taking care of them the rest of their lives.  The best thing we can give somebody is trust in themselves.   A great tip for Empaths is being able to draw a line in their giving.  Try this:   “I can’t _________________ (whatever they are asking you to do that you don’t want to do), but I can do _________________________, (something you are more comfortable with).”  For example; “I can’t take your dog all week but I can take them Friday night and Saturday”.  You offered to help but stayed in your limit and now you will be happy to help out.  Let people adjust to the new you.  Those that like taking advantage of you will try to make you feel bad, it’s ok.  Watch them, bless them and then bless yourself.  Pleasing yourself is more important than pleasing them. 

Guilty

Everything is your fault.  No matter what you do, you feel it is not enough.  You may even surround yourself with people that take advantage of you and blame you.  Your throat chakra is probably pretty closed and you do not know how to communicate what you need.  You suffer in silence and it is time to stop saying it is ok to hurt you.  It physically hurts you to watch pictures of people suffering because you feel you personally have to save them.  I am sorry, but these Empaths are the types that would stay in abusive relationships trying to SAVE the other person.   You have a very tender heart and would work amazingly with children and animals because you feel safe with them and they will not hurt you.  You would be free to love in these cases.   Learn to accept responsibility for what is yours and for what is NOT yours.  Take baths in Epson salts as the magnesium helps with the anxiety.  When you go to bed at night instead of thinking of everything bad or wrong that went on, start imagining again.  Think of how amazing it would feel to be doing what you love to do.  Problem is most of these Empaths are so busy with what everybody else wants they do not know what makes themselves happy anymore.  Explore this at night.  Play instead of worry.

One of the biggest mistakes I see Empaths do is Protecting and Shielding themselves.  Why is this a mistake?  Tune into the radio show to find out what to do instead.

We hope this helped.  If you would like more information on coping tips for Empaths, please check out our TRUE2YOU radio show for a free class.  Live call in show is this Sunday January 10.

New Years Resolutions: Little Tricks that make A BIG difference

January 1st, what a special day.  It is a day where we welcome in the new and get rid of the old.  Resolutions are famous to be made this day and next week is even more famous to break them.  Why do we make them?  We want to make changes we really do, but then why don’t we? 

Most people are striving to better themselves and their lives and that is a great goal.  The reason why most resolutions fail is that you reach too far too fast.  If you love sweets and you say,  “ I am going to cut out all sugar starting NOW”, is that realistic for you? Are you setting yourself up for failure by being too hard on yourself? When a resolution seems like a punishment not a reward, you do not want to do it.  The little rebel in you says, “ You cant tell me what to do” and grabs the candy or the latte.  What if you instead tell yourself to educate yourself about sugar and cut back?  The human mind does not like to fail and our fragile ego punishes itself when we fail and we give up.  What if you set little goals and met them instead?  The mind would celebrate your daily victory instead of punishment.  Just a side note, those that want to get off sugar, understanding what it is really doing to you is the best bet.  Don’t try to force yourself not to like it, it works better when you do not want it.  Check out YOUTUBE and the documentary BIG SUGAR.

Let’s start you out by some simple things that will make a big difference in your life.  They are simple, but need consistency and awareness. 

1. Take 3 deep breaths 3 times a day.  What this does is it starts telling the reptilian part of your brain that everything is all right.   This part of your brain is responsible for that fight or flight mechanism. Try it out and tell yourself while you take those three deep breaths that everything is all right.  You are being aware of your mind and your thoughts and programming a sense of wellness and safety instead of doubt and fear.  Your body will thank you for it.
2. Stop complaining.  Once you become aware of how much you are complaining you will understand how your thoughts create your reality.  Most of you reading this will think that you do not complain often at all, and will be surprised how it creeps into your life.  A good idea is to let somebody close to you know you are trying to not complain so they can help you when you slip up.  This does not mean you do not have a right to question or ask for information, but no whining while you do it.  Be fair, be concise and tolerant.
3. When you wake up drink a big glass of cold water.  First your body is dehydrated when it wakes up, and hydration is key to functioning and gives you more energy.  It also flushes out toxins.  When you sleep your body repairs itself and balances out hormones.  The result is some stuff that is no longer needed needs a way to get out of your body.  You will think well as it refuels your brain.  Your brain is 75% water so drinking more feeds it.

I am not asking you to change your world because the calendar flipped over.  All you have to do is breath, stop complaining and drink a glass of water.  You can do that right?  You will live longer, be happier and feel a sense of satisfaction every day.  Being a better you is being kinder to yourself, not punishing yourself.  You can do it.  After all you are awesome already. 

Happy New Year!

Namaste,

Is it Me or is it my Spirit Guide?

We are so happy to be able to be partnered up with True To You Radio in 2015 to be able to offer our services to everybody, near or far.  Every month there will be 4 new shows with topics ranging from Mediumship, meditation, crystals, Angels and more.  We thought we would celebrate today by offering you a little exercise to show you how quickly you can celebrate YOU!

How many of you have heard the saying that you have to just trust yourself and your Spirit Guides?  Trust, trust, and trust.  Sounds easy, but how do you build up that trust?  We struggle with TRUST vs. LOOKING CRAZY.  How do you know it is your Spirit Guide talking to you and not just you talking to you?  Let’s do a simple exercise to start on the way.   Walk with me step by step.  Do not read ahead.

• Take a deep breath and feel the seat beneath you.  This grounds you into your energy.
• I am going to ask you a question and I want you to just blurt out the answers after reading it.   Can you name be 5 different colours?
• That is it.  That was the “test”.   That is not the end of it though.  I want you to sit and notice where your energy sits when you answered that question.  Was it in your tummy, your throat, your bottom, or wherever.  Notice if the answers were fast, direct and confident sounding.
• Close your eyes and take a deep breath and call in your highest white light spirit guides.  It is all right if you do not know who they are, they know you.
• Now I am going to ask you to ask your guides for 5 numbers.
• Really pay attention now.  Where did the energy for those answers come from?  Was it different than where your own energy was?  Did you notice it higher or lower, stronger or lighter?  There is no right or wrong here.
• Now think back if your answers were slower, you were not sure if they were “right”, or even if you shook your head NO as you answered.  Did you use hand gestures that were indicative of frustration or surrendering such as shrugging shoulders? 
• Beautiful if you did.  Why this is you noticed that when you answered you were confident because they were YOUR answers.  YOU came up with them and you noticed where your energy sat.   If you were not sure of the answers it is because they were not your answers, which means they were spiritual answers.

The beautiful part about this exercise is now you can turn your doubt into proof.  How amazing is that.  What you used to throw away and say it was proof that you failed, is now proof that you succeeded.  Your analytical mind was telling your body that it was unsure of the answers because it knew it did not create them.  There was hesitation, body language and doubt.  You do not doubt your own self because you are what is called being self-aware.  Your own mind and body were proving it was not you.  It was your Spirit Guide.

Do this exercise over and over and start to become familiar with the difference of yours and theirs.  The more familiar you are with the difference, the more the doubt brings confidence instead of pain and distrust.

Above all, remember to have fun.  When you tighten the ropes, it makes it difficult to let love flow.  This is easy and you can do it.  You already are but just were not noticing that you were.   Science AND Spirituality combined.  Why pick one when you can have both? 

Maybe they are one?  Maybe our science is just beginning to understand our Spirit.

Namaste,

Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

You have the key to your mind and your spirituality, but you have to be aware of who you give it to.  We all need many teachers.  It is part of how we learn how to create and respect our own journey.  We cannot accomplish this by comparing ourselves to others who are on their journey, but only focus on where our journey will take us. 

Recently I have had clients come to me with a new problem I wanted to address and share.  They are entrusting the keys to their mind to just anybody.  Most people are well intentioned and loving.  If they want to teach Spirituality it is not because they are mean and egotistically, it generally means their heart is in the right place.  Ask your teacher who their teachers are.  Ask questions.  Do they offer a money back guarantee?  If they won’t stand behind their work, why should you?  I have seen too many times where people have read a book or two, watched a TV show, took a class online or even took one class in person, start teaching.  What are they teaching you exactly?  They are teaching you everything, including their limitations, their fears and their mistakes.  Nobody is perfect, but teaching is very different than experiencing.    There is a surge of Spirituality on our planet right now, and it is so beautiful.  I love seeing people love and learn.  What I do not love is having clients having to come to see me after experiencing something they cannot understand or been guided into fear.

I wanted to share with you some of the things clients have come in with and some suggestions for them that can help you as well if you are not able to come in and see one of our pre-screened, proven and guaranteed staff.

Mediumship Issues

People being TOLD what their gifts are instead of learning for themselves what they are.  Problem is you are doing what THEY are doing not what you are meant to be doing and this sometimes makes it worse because you are going against a natural grain of your life path.  Just because something works does not make it good for you.   Smokers say that smoking helps people relax, by poisoning them.  Great. What helps is to build up trust with your unique fingerprint. Appreciate that your gift is your gift and not meant to be like another’s.   You can only build trust by using it.  Practice.

Ego Issues

I hear it all the time not to let your ego get in the way.  You question is it them or me?  I have had students come in and be told that their own voice is their ego and to ignore it.  My question to them was that if Spirit is trying to talk to you and you are not present, how could there be a conversation?  They were taught to ignore their input and their growth.  Yes you will question, yes you will doubt, it is so they can expand the knowledge and give you more.  Every good teacher invites more questions.  As a result I have seen people SHUT DOWN their intuition instead of opening up the conversation.  You have to be there in this friendship or else it is a dictatorship.  You have free will, so they will never work one-sided.  Stay present; you are exactly where you are supposed to be.  Your inner voice and higher self is not your EGO that should be shunned and placed in a vault. 

Past Life Issues

Being left half in half out of a past life, bringing back the fears of a past life, making up false past lives with another person to make you feel better, awakening something without knowing how to put it to sleep in peace and confusion.  These are all issues that clients have come to me by seeing somebody they did not research well enough.  If you have had these things happen to you, I suggest the following.  Place your right hand over your heart.  Your right is for giving.  I want to give back what is no longer yours in this moment.  Take a few deep breathes and ask that all cellular memory from all lives, past, present and future be removed.  Take a few more deep breaths and you can imagine butterflies, flowers, or even smoke leaving your body.  Stay here till they are all gone.  You will not see them fly out of you physically and some may even have trouble seeing it in their head.  Just imagine it, it is ok.  Take a few deep breaths of white light.  See yourself breathing in and OUT this white light from your source and smile!  Please feel free to contact us if you need more support.

Manifestation Issues: “I asked for it and it never worked”

If you are not taught the truth behind desire, you will only create a mask and draw doubt and fear to you.  For some they want to manifest money because it makes them feel safe.  They make a vision board or light candles and recite affirmations yet nothing comes.  What the problem is that they asked to feel safe.  We know that not all people with money are safe and happy.  It is an illusion you are asking to create, so you are indeed creating an illusion.  You are taught bits and pieces.  You are shown a piece of the puzzle and expected to design the Mona Lisa out of scrap. 

It is my humble opinion that anything you want to manifest comes down to six basic human needs that are never met by materialistic things.  Each thing that is in the material world comes down to these basic human needs:

• Growth
• Significance
• Variety
• Connection
• Contribution
• Certainty

Many times you will find you have them and you have been ungrateful for them.  When you are manifesting from a place of ungratefulness we are creating more things to be ungrateful for.  You will find you have always been provided the opportunity to have these things in your life but at times have chosen to say no to them.  For instance, if you feel insecure because your partner left you; you could choose to see it as a new start or dead in the water.  The choice is yours what you create and focus on!  Manifesting a strong sense of self instead of another partner to replace the void you feel is not for your highest spiritual growth.  Are you focusing on lack while you manifest and then create lack?  Congratulations you are a great manifestor!

Stay tuned, as I will continue this blog another day.  If you have some questions or comments you would like me to include in the next one, please feel free to contact me at info@thehomeofom.ca, Attention: Angel Rogers
