Greetings!
Waffles anyone? Sometimes I crack myself up (ok, all the time.) No I'm not referring to the Republican presidential nominee. You know I keep my newsletters politically asexual.
Anyone feeling it? Grounding isn't exactly there. I mean it's there but you're still kinda flighty? Still kinda head in the clouds when there is so much to be done?
I thought it was just me until all of you came in this week with the same concern.
I think there are a few things going on. First. Time. Is. Moving. So. Fast.
I wrote that with periods to try and slow it down for just a moment. You're welcome.
Secondly, if you have been following the newsletter for the past six months or so, then you have read and probably felt how energy is shifting. We are actually grounding from our heart center these days...not from our feet.
OK, yes, our feet are grounded, but the main point of connection with the universe has switched to the heart center...meaning if you aren't rooted and balanced in your heart, you feel wonky.
Why? Is it the dawn of Aquarius? Is it the spark of 2012? Is it just time to trust from our hearts? To know of love and feel our connection with everyone around us? To see the blossoming trees and flowers and swell with joy that we are a part of that ecosystem? To hear music in our hearts and have it spread throughout our whole body to balance and sustain us?
Yes. That and so much more. I think there is also more humor! I find myself laughing so much more (and if you know me...that really means something.)
But you're probably asking yourself, if I'm doing that, vibe-ing with the love all around me, then how come I still feel unfocused and ungrounded?
Excellent question! This is also the time of year that our wonderful water dragon from Chinese mythology is kicking in! You have been holding tightly for afterburners to kick in. For this year to take off....and man this is it!
So that excess unfocused energy. That need to purge and clean and move and focus...is all building up to a fantastic point in time and space. A time when everything will line up in ways you couldn't even imagine.
And it's here. And it's going to be big. And that, frankly, can throw energy off.
Give it time to settle. Give it time to sink in. And breathe. Sit in meditation for just a few moments to ground and check in. Do Yoga! Go for a run or a bike ride. And for heaven's sake...find things to laugh about!
So this is me, reminding you to love bigger than you have ever loved! Trust it. Invite it in. It's time.
To love!

The elegance of the divine
I know I talked about meditating to ground your energy....and that is great when you are feeling overwhelmed or spacey.
But lately, I have also been having the most wonderful feeling of having so much love I feel like my heart is going to burst. If it happens when I'm outside I take a few breaths and channel the love toward a tree or a flower that's shooting. And feel that love being returned in the most beautiful way.
But when I'm inside, I go to my altar and sit. And while there, I sit and close my eyes and breathe into the love. And then, when I feel totally still I imagine that the room falls away. That my cushion falls away. That all that is left is me and love and my connection between what I am feeling and everything around me.
Sometimes I see clouds drift in. Sometimes I notice that there is no need for air--that I am a part of that as well. And I sit until I have a sense of being complete with that sensation of love. Complete with sharing that love with the universe. Complete.
If you try this, just try it in steps. Maybe see if you can sit and feel that the you are floating right above your cushions. Just imagine what that would feel like.
The more you play with this meditation, the more amazing it gets. The more you feel that love connection the more you have to give. And the more you have to give, the more you receive in return!
Happy flying!

Electrolytes Help in the form of Ultima!
And they can taste like healthy grape Kool-Aid :)

So there are some ways to get vital nutrients into your body in a fun way.
How?
Electrolytes.
We need them. They help our cells metabolize. If you sweat, you need to replenish...I have recently learned this. For me, after doing energy work I find that a glass full of this bug juice makes me feel amazing.
If you drink energy drinks like Gatorade or even Nun...you may want to look into Ultima...it's natural...nothing artificial...ZERO sugar...and you can pronounce all the ingredients!
I sell it here...or you can get it at PCC or Super Supplements or Whole Foods. I have grape which seriously tastes like grape Kool-Aid from yester-years (c'mon, you know you drank that stuff at Picnics when you were a kid.) I also have red Raspberry. And finally Lemonade...which is tied with the purple bug juice for me. (I think the Lemonade is amazing after a workout personally.)
Anywho...if you find your energy is lacking and you eat well and exercise....the solution may be far simpler than you know...
I have some samples in the office if you want to check it out!
