 We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that Beauty. ~ Maya Angelou


Greetings! 

Today, we greeted the Aquarius New Moon and celebrate Chinese New Year (Year of the Fire Monkey). Energetically, the gears have shifted.  It feels appropriate that the name and the vibration of  my newsletter should change to reflect the shifts taking place. It  appears to many that are sensitive to energy that 2016 is beginning again; that we are being re-calibrated. One door is closing and another is opening. A new purpose is being born. It is no coincidence that we are in a "9" year in numerology and that the Monkey is the 9th animal in the Chinese astrological chart. This year supports us in resolving issues from the past. We are now more empowered to view the experiences of the last 15 months through a different lens. Much of our previous discomfort was caused by our resisting necessary changes. In 2016, we feel energized and yearn to reconnect to our aspirations/hearts desires. Work with these energies. The Year of the Fire Monkey supports breaking free from fears so that we can step into a truer expression of ourselves. It is important that we earth (ground, take care of our bodies) even as we take action. We are encouraged to take thoughtful action rather than to make rash decisions. This is a year of innovation, breaking the bonds of the status quo, growth, and learning to adapt to shifting landscapes. It has the potential to polish us so that our personal best comes forth. Balance and coming full circle are also themes this year. This year does not bode well for those that seek to take advantage of others or to re-establish systems that are broken. In those instances, the Fire Monkey will break down/expose any blockages or imbalanced systems. The urge of Fire Monkey is toward growth and innovation. It inspires us to stretch ourselves, to play as we grow, and to move through life with grace.
 
A new day is dawning. February prepares us for the accelerated shifts of March and April.  We are on the threshold of eclipse season.  Our experiences this month serve to clarify our energy and to reconnect us to our hearts.  Be open to change and new ideas. Unforeseen paths may lead us to our next steps. Your vision clears and physical world expands as you open your Heart.   
 
To celebrate the birth of Awakenings, I have included a special thank you at the end of the newsletter.  May this month and year inspire your Divine Passion!
 
 
Dance Life, my friends!

My Gift to You!

Art: Leigh Mc Closkey

I offer you this blessing  to usher in positive new beginnings! It will be especially powerful the 2-3 days following this New Moon.

Divine Abundance Ritual

You will need:
2 red candles ( I use tapers so they can be re-used but votives may be used)
9 healthy oranges in a bowl
space blessing tools like soothing music, incense, candles 

Pre-work:   Release and bless any energies or thoughts that weigh your energy down.  You may set the tone for this blessing by creating sacred space with music, incense etc...Connect to Mother Earth and to Heaven with a simple intention: I align myself with Heaven and Mother Earth.  Create another positive & pure intention for the ritual. Examples:  I allow ____. I accept _______ into my Life. I co-create ______ with Heaven.

Place a nice bowl of 9 oranges on the living room, dining room, or kitchen table. Place a red candle on each side. State your intention aloud. Say this prayer to reaffirm it: Today I expect every good thing to come to me, for I know that Divine Abundance is forever manifesting itself in my affairs. I am keeping my whole mind and thought and expectation open to new experiences, to happier events, to a more complete  self expression. Everything that belongs to Spirit, I accept. Everything that partakes of the nature of Divine Reality, I claim as my own. I identify with joy and appreciate the  richness of Life. As I give thanks for the good now flowing into my life, I gladly share that good with others. The more I give, the more I receive. I experience a deeper consciousness of peace and security, for I know that I am in the embrace of a warm, loving Presence forever seeking an outlet through me.My cup runneth over! I exist in limitless possibility.~ A Holmes Reader on Practical Wisdom 

After the prayer, allow the candles to burn down for about 20 mins. Give Gratitude to Heaven & Earth. Put the candles away for future use. Eat the oranges over the next days, share them, or feed the wildlife with them. (slice oranges). They must not be allowed to go to waste.  Ritual remind us that all things are gifts of Heaven and Earth. Use the oranges for Good.  I hope that you enjoy this ritual. May your cup runneth over with Love & Blessings! 


Until next time, Beloved Ones...
