Greetings!
HAPPY WINTER SOLSTICE (well Solstice is tomorrow, the 21st, for us up here in Squamish, BC, Canada). Wow...Winter 2011. Do you believe it? 10ish mor days and 2012 is upon us... or are we upon it? There have been so many theories about what is going to happen in 2012 and all I have to lend to that conversation is: whatever YOU believe 2012 will be... is what will come true for you! This makes the most sense to me since all that I really-sorta-kinda-know-for-sure, is that we all c0-create and manifest our own "realities". So here is my motto for 2012:
"Think Kind, Think Big, Feel Positive , Have a High Vision For Humanity and Trust the Process."

The Astrological Symbolism of the Winter Solstice According to Vedic Astrology

In Vedic astrology the winter solstice punctuates the cusp between Sagittarius and Capricorn, and the re-birth of the sun - the point in time where the sun has appeared to travel to its most southern point and now begins its northern return. The south is the realm of Yama - the God of Death. After this point the sun slowly gains in strength until the summer solstice when the sun once again looses strength and the moon gives back the strength of the earth day by day until it reaches its culmination at the winter solstice. In Vedic astrology the sun is a malefic influence because it dries out the earth - it roasts and toasts and is masculine in nature. The moon on the other hand is benefic; it symbolizes cosmic soma, the sustenance showered on the earth by the Gods for the devotion offered by humankind. The Sun symbolizes the soul, while the moon symbolizes the emotional mind as it sees only by the reflected light of the soul.
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter who is called Guru (the teacher, the one who takes you to the bottom of the ocean of consciousness), it is kapha (the biochemical combination of the water and earth elements) in nature, but has a light influence; and is benefic. Saturn rules Capricorn. Saturn (Harshal) teaches through suffering but bestows eventual Harsha (joy, cheerfulness and contentment). So these two astrological signs and their rulers have a lot to do with teaching and learning - Saturn teaches through difficulties, while Jupiter teaches through sweetness. Their meeting point, the solstice, the strongest point of the moon and the re-birth of the Sun (soul), is our incarnation - we say God incarnates in Christ, Buddha, Mohammed etc. we never say he incarnates in each of us but that is the symbol of this season, where the only requirement is our presence.

Top 5 Re-minders for a Joyful Christmas Season
1. Breath: When faced with a less than easy situation, get in the habit of letting out your belly while inhaling, and then expand your chest for a full, complete breath. Complete 3 full breaths and this so called situation will simply dissipate. This is also referred to as "being present" and as far as I know this is the only way to arrive into the moment. 2. Eat Protein in the Morning: Protein helps to stabilize blood sugar, is food for the ol' noggin'. Protein also recycles throughout the day to help support numerous functions of the body. Organic whey protein shakes, organic - free-range farm eggs / wild and clean meats, or Yellow Pea / hemp protein shakes are all great sources of protein.

Multi-Level Marketing is the Way of Our Future
For almost 10 years now I have been involved with some kind of home-based-direct-sales-multi-level-marketing business. In fact, since I was about 8 years old I have been exposed to this kind of relationship / referral marketing.
I never realized until recently just how influential this kind of home-based marketing / business has been in my life and how grateful I really am to know about it.
I can only hope that people get their ego out of the way and also let go of what they think they know about Multi-level marketing because there are absolutely phenomenal opportunities out there and I know in my heart I have truly hit the jackpot.
This is the business of the 21st century and if you can find the products, comany and team that share your values and whom you could see yourself partnering with, then there is no time like right now to start building the life of your dreams.
It all began for me in July of 2006. I had just opened my consulting practice in a small town and my marriage was falling apart. I was living with friends and even living out of my car at times. I had my head down on my desk in my new office, wondering how I could create more income and the phone rang. It was a woman named...
