Planetary Energies, Mindful Meditation July 2014



Until about July 20th the Sun is passing through the constellation of the Twins and the Sacred Hoop which makes is more fully aware of direct experience of the Source/Divine/Universe.  The Solar energy represents our physical consciousness and with conscious awareness we can work to align and harmonise our Will with Spirit – working to align our Intent with Spirit so that we serve a higher purpose to nourish and support growth of all of humanity and of this beautiful planet.





The constellation of the Twins allows us to recognise the duality present in our life, the dual nature of form and Spirit. These seeming opposites are intended to work together and so to manifest wholeness for all. The relationship between any duality, including light and dark; Form and Spirit; Wholeness & Separation; Giving & Receiving  and how we experience those interchanges  help us to integrate and reconcile the paradox that will allow us to experience Unity with all the opposites of Life. 

Remember that as a being you are not a 2d energy but more like a diamond energy and multi-faceted - a multi-dimensional energetic being. As Mother Earth passes through this constellation it creates a time when you can gain deeper wisdom that will transcend the seeming opposites – and help you to manifest a realization of the Divine/Source plan in our reality. 

Jupiter moved Leo on Wednesday and these energies will be at work until August 12th. This energetic conjunction happens every 12 years and the last time this happened was August 1st 2002.
This magnifies and expands the mysteries of the radiant and divine essence inherent within each of us. One way to consciously participate with the expansive renewal of vision Jupiter brings to Leo is to embrace the radiant love that permeates every cell of our body – illuminating every aspect of our lives.

Jupiter in Leo is calling our full attention to the Power of Love, particularly the power of self-love, loving ourselves, loving every aspect of who we are and what a miracle it is that we are here to share our love with this world. Love heals everything and answers every question. It fills us with wisdom, inspiration, and magic. 


Love is truly all we need because from it comes the confidence, the knowing, the trust that all our needs are met in every moment and all life is perfect just as it is. In the place of pure love there are no attachments to how things “should” be.

Pure radical radiant love embraces the all of life and is not trying to fix anything or anyone, but lovingly accepts what IS. Pure love has the power to heal the wounds of the past and present when it is allowed full expression in the moment. Truly loving ourselves, truly loving and accepting who we are in every moment is a key alchemical ingredient that transforms our world into a Golden Age.

Mars & Vesta are at 25 Libra and North Node is a t 24 Libra – which may sound like techno jargon but what that means Is that the energy of ‘Conscious Relating’ of the fixed star Spica is amplified – and we will be more fully aware when in mindful relationship, and when fully in the present moment, what we are choosing with our actions.   

As Marianne Williamson writes
In every relationship, in every moment, we teach either love or fear. To teach is to demonstrate. As we demonstrate love toward others, we learn that we are lovable and we learn how to love more deeply. As we demonstrate fear or negativity, we learn self-condemnation and we learn to feel more frightened of life. We will always learn what we have chosen to teach.

The presence of the Venus energy moving through Cancer also brings through new energies to help initiate new ways of working with family and community with a way forward towards conscious relationship flowing in Love energy to create intentional whole community in a myriad of forms.

The presence of Saturn  later in the month will help and amplify the energies that allow us to redesign, rebuild, re-imagine and reform  how we engage with Life Force, energy, community, passion and pure joy in aliveness.

Concentration, Contemplation & Meditation


Awakening - Daniel B Holeman



The difference between Concentration and Contemplation is that in concentration you imagine an object very concretely in front of you. You are different than the object that you project or imagine in front of you. In real Contemplation, you experience yourself as the object, so you are there; you are experiencing from the inside.

Try practicing these exercises for a least 1 minutes several times each day which will develop your concentration and focus with your eyes closed. When you are adept at these then try with your eyes open. It's good to do all of these exercises but start with the ones that appeal to you at first. Later as you become more comfortable you can do the others.




1. Look at a flower and nothing else. Start by concentrating on the outline, the colour and gradually get into the sepals and petals. Close your eyes and create the image of the flower in your mind. 

Open your eyes and compare the picture you had in your mind with the flower.

Close your eyes and recreate the image, correcting the differences. 

 Open your eyes and compare again. Repeat this process until your mental image is exactly the same as the physical flower.

Do this same exercise with a variety of objects, for example a stone or rock, a twig or another plant, a bird or animal, a book, a coin or a picture.


2. Imagine the outline of an equilateral triangle made out of light hanging perfectly still in the air in front of you. Hold the image as long as you can. This practice will give you a sense of balance & poise.

3.  Imagine the outline of a square made out of light hanging perfectly still in the air in front of you. Hold that image for as long as you can.  This practice will give you a sense of strength and foundation.

4. Imagine the outline of a circle made out of light hanging perfectly still in the air in front of you. Hold that image for as long as you can. This practice will give a blocked person a sense of flowing.
 
5 Imagine a cube drawn out of light hanging perfectly still in the air in front of you. Keep one side of the cube facing towards you. With your imagination as you inhale push that face backwards so that another face comes forward. 

As you exhale bring that face forward so that the other face comes backwards. 
This practice will give you control over your visualization and develop your inner power.



6. Imagine a tetrahedron {a pyramid which has 4 faces that all equilateral triangles} made out of pure crystal hanging in the air in front of you. Keeping the crystal tetrahedron perfectly still imagine that you are able to move around it, so you see from one angle, then another, then the top, then the bottom.

7. Imagine you are sitting inside of a crystal tetrahedron, an angle to your back and facing a face. This gives you a sense of poise, peace and security.

Here is a short excerpt...

"After decades of breakneck speed development that has helped raise the standard of living of billions of human beings, we are now facing the dire consequences of our disregard for the fragile ecosystems of this living planet, as well as realizing that its finite resources cannot sustain indefinitely the economic expansion upon which our civilization thrives. All its vital indicators point to a crisis of unimaginable proportions and several new scientific reports now call for an unprecedented global mobilization to slow down and reverse the precipitous decline of our sole life support system."


Thank you for your assistance in networking this invitation.
