Greetings!

"May LOVE be our new currency,

And PEACE our new measure of success.

May TRUTH be our new security,

And JOY our new status symbol."


~Debbie Barnett~

Peace and Freedom
Two themes of our current time seem to be peace and freedom.  From Egypt and the Middle East, to America's heartland, my home state of Wisconsin, we see it.  Peaceful protests for the most part, people coming together to voice their desire for freedom, and stand up for basic human rights. 

Desire for something different starts with each one of us.  When we come from a bigger mind, a bigger heart, than just what affects us personally, we rise above the fray.  We find courage we didn't know we had.  We discover a voice that had been silenced for too long. 

We see it individually and collectively, the human spirit rising up, speaking it's truth, and coming together in unity.  Standing together, regardless of gender, class, race, educational  background or economic level.  That's yoga.  And the way it's being carried out is also yogic.  The principles of ahimsa, non-violence and non-harming, for the move toward moksha, freedom or liberation, are at the forefront of this movement.  This speaks highly to our current state of conscious , regardless of what the mainstream media would have us believe. 

When enough people open their arms and their hearts to their fellow human beings, realizing that WE ARE ONE, the small-minded minority who seek to limit others freedom and basic human rights will be ousted.  What happens to some of us, happens to all of us. 

The astrology of the outer (slower moving) planets at the time bears witness to what is happening in the news and behind the scenes. Jupiter (expansion) in firebrand Aries (initiation), square (at odds with) Pluto (deep transformation) in Capricorn (government, corporations).  In two weeks Uranus (revolution) will join Jupiter in Aries, adding more fuel to the fiery passion of standing up for what's right.

Power bases are shifting, much like the Earth beneath us (blessings to New Zealand).  It's like the 60's all over again, but with a dose of wisdom and orderliness thrown in for good measure. 

As the Hopi Elders proclaimed, "All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.  We are the ones we've been waiting for."  Take their words to heart.  Translate them into your own life.  Speak up for yourself and others where you see injustice.  Come together in unity.

Until every one is free, none of us are free.  Loka samasta sukhino bhavantu, "may all beings everywhere be peacful and free." 

Namaste,

Debbie
