Procrastination = Clutter

 
Procrastination  =  Clutter
 
Wow, what a great summer we have had.  It feels like it is trying to hold on just like we are trying to hold on to it.  But just like life, you can count on the seasons to change.  It’s hard sometimes to prepare and gather for the upcoming changes when all you want to do is play.  Just one more dip in the bay before it is too cold to do so.  If I don’t acknowledge that it is time for change, it will go away, right?
 
I have found that one of the dangers of personal growth is I was taught that I am in control of my thoughts and feelings.   So what happens when something comes up that I don’t want to experience?   I know, let’s change our thought about it.  But does that really release the feelings that came with the original thought?   Or does it just shove it down?   I have been procrastinating feeling and I am beginning to see the physical evidence all around me.  Last month my body became heavy and in pain while I wasn’t paying attention.
    
Like everyone else, I have been letting go of a lot of beliefs and situations in my life in preparation of the changes of seasons.  Not just summer into fall but preparing for the new shift in energies that are flowing throughout the universe.  I notice that sometimes the flow seems a little cluttered and sluggish.  I check in with myself and explore not only the thoughts but the feelings that go only with it.  I have taken the time to fully feel my emotions and allowed myself to just cry until the tears were done.
So it is time for me get my feet and head out of the sand, feel and release so I’m ready for whatever comes up next.  Life is good even when there is clutter and frustration caused by procrastination!!!
 
Namaste’…The light in me greets and honors the light within you.

Energies for September
 By Daniele DeVoe, Channel and Healer

Monday, September 6.  Labor Day!  Store will be closed!  Enjoy the Day!!
The Rune for September is: Uruz – Strength, Manhood/Womanhood
Even though summer weather can continue, for me September always feels like autumn… the children return to school, the harvest is completing, fashions are focused more toward warmth and the beautiful earth-tones that are so soothing. And all of this reminds us that winter isn't far away… it’s time to prepare… it’s time to utilize both the physical and spiritual strength that so many of us develop during the spring and summer of each year.
Interestingly, the Universe is in the process of helping us blend with our own Souls and Spirits in ‘new’ ways… and this rune is also about that process! Your Soul is your feminine life force… your Spirit is your masculine light force… This next month is designed to open  doorways to mankind’s blending with their own Soul/Spirit which creates  a huge step forward on the path of enlightenment.
Will everyone do this now? No, not yet. But many will gather their strength, open their hearts and welcome the blending. Meditation is by far the easiest and most elegant way to do this… but it isn't the only way. The world is changing, the rules are changing… With strength and luminous intent you have the power, imagination, creativity and passion to change with the world and claim your highest path and potential!
 
(Reference book: The Book of Runes, by Ralph Blum)
 
The card from The Faeries' Oracle, by Brian Froud for September is: She of the Cruach
This is the card of pure, loving and unconditional receiving… Are you ready?
If you are, please consider what is included when unconditional receiving is happening. Unconditional receiving means that you receive fully and completely… and so does everyone else! As you envision receiving, rather than focusing your thoughts on the micro-management of your life (e.g.: I want to receive more money, a better job, a life partner, better health… ) it is suggested that you go for the big picture… Imagine Gaia receiving Divine Light and Love… Imagine every man, woman and child receiving all that makes them happy… Imagine all the different aspects of our world, from the animal kingdom to the astral, receiving lives of joy and abundance. Why? Because implicit in the vision of All That Is receiving unconditionally, is your successful receiving, too.
 
Simple? Yes! Ready? Then let’s get started!!!
 
Namasté, dear Lightworkers!

Hello My Fellow Rockhounds
 
Yo dudes and dudettes, it’s me Lep coming to you from the farrrr side of mellow.  For all you more formal rockettes, it is Lepidolite.  If you at all doubt my abilities to make your life more mellow and stress free; you should know that I’m made up largely of lithium (a key ingredient to valium). Let me help you over those rocky roads that sometimes come up for everyone.  I’m an excellent support for any type of emotional or mental dependency.  As one of the major stones of transition I can release and reorganize out dated or unwelcome behavior patterns.   I can help reduce dependencies on substances not good for you.  I am a powerful restriction of DNA.  Great help in increasing your ability to clearly see and concentrate on what is truly important and letting distractions fall to the wayside.  I can offer you a peaceful night’s sleep which would allow for deep emotional healing instead of a surface fix.  I bring relief to allergies, detoxify and strengthen your skin. And a great pick me up when you insist on working to exhaustion.  
 
 
Immune systems need some support?  Joints ache, sciatic nerve on edge?  Then I’m your guy.  So when you’re looking for that port in the storm, pick me up and I’ll do the same for you.  If you’ve ever been interested in working with your akashic records I can take you on a shamanic journey so deep and vast you’ll wonder why you ever thought learning to journey would be hard.  Once I’ve cleared your heart, throat, third eye and crown chakra they’ll be no limits to your cosmic connecting.(ET’s phoning home, and  getting an answer) With all the light and love there is I offer myself to your physical and spiritual growth. Come on, you know you want me, I’m here for you. Peace.
 
Namasté

Barbara Evans invites us to experience her inspired full color images along with their corresponding affirmation, poem and decree, confirming the truth of the previous statement on a transformational level.  The 13 Image Keys “interweave Sacred Geometry, Crystal Energies, Spirit Guides and Planetary Alignments” and “present an opportunity to anchor rays of Hope, Peace, Joy and Abundance into your life and our world.”
If you’ve ever wondered how a creative process might unfold, you’ll be delighted to find not only this phenomenal artwork, but also the “story” behind the creation of each image. This is truly an interactive and transformative book that is beyond words.  It’s an invitation to experience a new energetic art form…”A Journey of Connection Through the Heart”.

Positive Attention Promotes Feeling Valued! 
 
By Jennifer Tavana, Channel/Medium, Hypnotherapist
 
Have you ever met someone that you just ‘clicked’ with?  You know what I mean…you felt like you have known them for years even though you haven’t?  You think alike, have the same kind of humor, share similar interests and feel connected?
 
Well, I was thinking about how fortunate I am to meet so many wonderful people who I resonate with in the line of work that I do, and I started thinking about how so many people I know (friends, clients and family) long to feel that comfortable with people. And that led me to a very simple and basic realization…
 
Everyone wants to be accepted by people that they value.
 
We want to be accepted at work, within our families, and socially.  In fact, we LONG to be accepted.  It drives us.
 
Why?  What does that look like for most people, deep down inside?
 
Have you ever felt lost and alone?  I’m sure you have.  Feeling accepted is like the opposite of feeling lost and alone.  When we feel accepted, we are receiving positive forms of attention from outside of ourselves, and it fills part of the natural void that most people have.  The need for attention is one part of what I call the Point of Denial Equation (you can search that term on my website www.jennifertavana.com for more info.), and that need for attention drives us to find love.
 
So, most people have a need for attention (whether positive or negative attention), and most people look outside of themselves to satiate that need.
 
But is the need for attention “bad”?  You might have thought so if you have ever been considered ‘needy’ by someone you value…click here for more.

 "I Know Your Mama Taught You Better"
 
 
I stepped in gum in the parking lot. It was the second time this summer. Instead of reflecting on the esoteric symbolism of these events in my life, my thought was immediate: "I know your mama taught you better than this!" I mean, really - what mother would teach her child to spit out gum in a parking lot?

It reminded me of a time, years ago, when I lived in Port Huron, Michigan, on my way north to a destination I can't recall. I was in the car behind a convertible with two young men sitting in it. As we were waiting for the light to change, the passenger dude reached out and dropped a large bag of Burger King waste on the ground! I had the opportunity to pull up next to him and said, "I know your mama taught you better than that!" He laughed, said something about mothers, and they drove on. We were heading in the same direction and I followed them for miles, strategizing how I would teach them a lesson (I didn't know about karma then).
