March 2011 Forecast–Get Ready!

The main theme for March is GET READY!

Subthemes we will be working with all month are preparation, action, forward movement, intensity, fortification, focus and discipline.

The image is that of anticipating a battle or a long winter or an extreme adventure or a huge move or any large event or permanent change. All of these require preparation, discipline, focus, a good plan, fortification, a serious commitment to your goal and hard work. You better know what you want and be willing to work hard for it. You better be disciplined about protecting yourself against the distractions of unimportant things and energy leaks that could derail the process.

The commitment theme of February moves into an action plan this month. The aggression/perseverance mode of the year could cause some irritability and impatience. Keep your eye on your own goals and do not let others get to you. The warrior casting comes to the forefront and uses the aggression/perseverance mode to accomplish what needs to be done. So if you are clear about what’s important and about where you are going, it could be a highly productive time. This is a no-nonsense month of hard work, staying focused, embracing your disciplines and setting boundaries against distractions.

Watch for the projections of others. The discomfort in facing one’s own issues may trigger behavior that uses the obstacles to project negatively onto you something from a deep personal process that has not been dealt with. For example you may find yourself becoming the good or bad sister, brother, father, mother or teacher especially if you are in a support position for the person. And you may have judgments thrown your way that actually represent something in the other person that has come up for their review and processing. So don’t take anything personally and watch your own tendencies to project onto others.

This is a big month with a huge engine of energy that can either thrust you into chaos or move you towards your goal more quickly than you could ever have imagined if you have all your ducks in a row. January’s theme of resetting priorities comes back to haunt, so if you did not do well with this task in January you get another chance this month. Know what you want. This knowing is not as much a knowing from the information you have but rather a knowing from what you know intuitively to be true. Making the right choices and decisions should have less to do with the information you have gathered or with what others think, than with what you feel inside. You still may not have a lot of mental clarity about how you will reach your goals as the mind cannot grasp what has not yet been created, but at least you can have clarity about what those goals are and the intent to actualize them.

“Is this really important? How important is this really in the larger scheme of things? Is it important to me?” will be the questions of the month and should be asked daily when faced with overwhelming decisions, distractions and responsibilities. This will help you with your priorities and will help keep you on track with eliminating energy leaks.

The element of fire is featured this month as opposed to the water theme we’ve been dealing with. The fire element will affect things externally as well as internally. Watch for fiery outbursts and heated arguments in the negative and sparks of enthusiasm and inspiration fueling the engine of creativity and action in the positive. This is an excellent month to recharge your body, mind and spirit through discipline, exercise, health maintenance, visiting power spots and upgrading something in your life. The upgrade could be anything from a new toothbrush to a new shirt to a new set of sheets to a new home, car or computer. Whatever it is, upgrade it with intention and gratitude for the opportunity to move to the next level. See it as a symbol of something bigger.

There is a deep desire for growth and for becoming bigger than the provincial and myopic view and experience of personal day-to-day life. The desire to advance and move to the next level can translate into a sudden idea to learn something new, join a cause, enroll in a study, or volunteer for a community project. We want to be better, to act better, to feel better, to move beyond our petty behaviors and miserly thoughts towards more generosity, forgiveness, flexibility, joy, strength, power, better health, wisdom and well-being. We are tired of being small, scared, powerless, asleep, ineffective, overlooked, weak, behind, confused, ambivalent, bitter, blaming and miserable. It is time to get over ourselves and become the larger minded global citizens we need to be if we are ever to advance and evolve. Give us something new, we say. Give us a new muse, a new inspiration, something to lift us up out of the “same old” and give us new hope. Give us something larger than ourselves to focus on, something to make us aware of the expanded container we suddenly find ourselves in. This desire manifests as a higher emotional state that can be accessed during some of the peak energetic times this month. Look for inspiration and move towards it as a reference point.

The bottom line is that this is a highly energized month to be taken seriously. Get your distractions, energy leaks and anything else that does not move you forward handled. Live from integrity, have good values, tell the truth and only go straight.

How Being Single on Valentine’s Helped Me Achieve My Dreams

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought I would share a personal story about my life when I was single for a long time. I remember that I even dreaded the arrival of Valentine’s Day. Year after year, it was the same old story. I would spend Valentine’s by myself, and would, more often than not, indulge in sad feelings.

At that time, I had no idea how struggling with being single would one day help me achieve my life’s dreams.

One day, I called a dear friend of mine, who is amazingly wise, and confided to him that I was really tired of being single.  The first thing he told me was to not waste time and to start immediately to pursue my life’s purpose, and the right man would surely come my way.  He went on to tell me that once I did as he suggested, my life would positively change for the better.  “Enjoy your single days joyfully now while they last” he added.  He advised me to think of this new approach to life as an “experiment.”

The moment he told me that, it really made an impression on me. I am not sure why but deep down a little voice told me that his words of wisdom were right on.  I made a decision to seriously contemplate what my life’s mission was. And, I committed to living every day with joy and gratitude for my life.

Joy Is An Ally That Will Help You Manifest What You Desire

Later I was to discover that joy is a powerful emotion.  It has a high vibration and will help you manifest what you deeply desire because its vibratory level is closest to the level of creation.

I have to tell you that I even made a pact with Spirit, Universal Intelligence.  I promised that I would deeply enjoy being single and that when I did find my dream partner, I would commit to always supporting him in every way I could to help him live his life’s purpose.  I felt really good about this “deal” that I made.

The “experiment” went very well.  Friends and family asked me if something had changed in my life.  One friend even asked me if I was in love.  My energy had positively increased, and I did feel in love—in love with life that is.

During that time when I was single, I spent quiet time focusing on my life’s purpose, on what I wanted to accomplish before I left this mysterious world. Having time to myself helped me to discover my new life’s work. I soon realized that I wanted to stop working for companies, and that I wanted to create my own business to help people become successful using ancient wisdom.

My Single Days Were Over When I Increased My Energy & Followed My Purpose 

I became really excited about realizing my life’s purpose, and I started to focus more and more on my future business. Long story short, my business goal led me to attend an Internet marketing conference.  It was there that I finally met the love of my life that I had so longed for.  My wise friend had been right.  I had found the right man once I focused on following my life’s mission.

As I look back, it has become clear to me.  I found my beloved partner when I was already happy with my life and focused on achieving my life’s vision-my purpose.  I had learned the “lessons” that I needed to learn.
Interestingly, my beloved also had made a decision to pursue his purpose in life, and that is what led him to attend the very same conference that I attended.

Ancient wisdom teaches that a man not living his vision is living death. As we focus on a higher purpose, we become whole and the universe will absolutely support our path every step of the way. It is a universal law.  We become empowered and can more easily release those heavy beliefs that drain our energy. We acquire the power to live a magical life.

Emotions, such as joy and gratitude, are powerful forces. They will increase your energy and will help you manifest. In contrast, heavy emotions, such as fear and worry, drain personal energy and keep you stuck.  Have you ever efficiently achieved a goal or solved any problem while engulfed in emotional trauma?

Now I want to share tips for increasing your energy, emotionally as well as physically. To create what you deeply desire, such as finding the love of your life, requires personal energy.  Change your energy, and change your life.

10 Empowerment Tips To Increase Your Energy and Change Your Life

1.    Love yourself.  How you feel about yourself will determine what you attract into your life. Forgive your self now, accept your self, and become free to create your ideal life.  If you haven’t attracted the beloved that you desire, ask yourself if you truly love yourself. It will be difficult to find the right partner to love you, if you can not love yourself.

2.    Follow your purpose.  As an Apache shaman, once said “A man not living his purpose is living death.”  As you follow your life’s purpose, you become whole and are in an advantageous position to achieve your personal goals. You have access to a higher power that formerly was not within your reach.

3.    When you find yourself feeling low, do empowering things to increase your energy such as spending time alone in nature.  Nature has a high vibration and is a powerful ally.

4.    When you find yourself feeling low, release what’s holding you down.  Heavy emotions that drain your energy, such as fear and worry, are likely to be the first culprits you need to release.  To the extent that you are held down by old beliefs, patterns and wounds, you are not free to let go of the past and create your future.

5.    Make a full commitment to take action to get what you want in your life. Do whatever it takes to keep your energy up and be impeccable about your intent.  Read the February forecast to learn more about the power of intent and realizing your dreams.

6.    Write in a journal how you want your life to be like today.  Be the script writer for the movie you want to create. Empower your goals with envisioning and other success techniques. Learn shamanic empowerment practices that teach success tools together with wisdom.

7.    Do something for yourself that you’ve never done-something that you would really enjoy.  When you break one pattern or a routine, it can help you to dislodge other patterns that keep you stuck in the past.

8.    Treat yourself to special chocolate with at least 80% cocoa. Pure raw cocoa lifts the mood and increases energy due to the abundant presence of phenylethylamine aka PEA (known as the “love molecule”) and anandamide (called the “bliss chemical”).

9.    Treat a friend and yourself to something really out of the ordinary-an energy enhancing food that is “supercharged” with PEA-the same compound found in chocolate that stimulates pleasurable effects on mood.  E3Live BrainON contains approximately 50 times more PEA than chocolate.

10.     Relax about your goal. Every morning give thanks. Gratitude is a powerful ally in the universe. This force will not only help you achieve your dreams, it will keep you from falling into the dark realm of fear and unhappiness. The moment you feel gratitude, you open your heart and are on the track of power.

Happy Valentine’s.

February 2011–A Powerful Time To Manifest Using Unbending Intention

The main theme for February is Commitment.

It is time to get off the fence and really commit to your intentions and goals without the need to know how you will accomplish them. There has been a tendency to get bogged down in the need to know and the process of trying to understand whatever present situation you are in. The mind has entertained itself long enough with the creation of stories to try and get a handle on this understanding. All this processing and storytelling has thrown conditions into the mix and kept true commitment at bay. “I will commit to this if…..”

This is the month where the “ifs” or conditions around your intentions need to be put aside and relegated to a position of less importance. You know on an intuitive level what you truly want and it is only the fear of not getting it that keeps you hesitant to commit. It is the mind that comes up with the reasons that feed the fear and keep you imprisoned in your story. Are you willing to give up your story? Who would you be without your story? This is not an easy opportunity to deal with. It demands trust, courage and intuition. Use the aggression mode of the year wisely to cut through the bullshit of the mind and begin manifesting that which you have fully committed to. Remember that we are also in an emotionally centered time and headed for experiences that don’t necessarily make linear or logical sense.

For more details about the trends for 2011 (link here).

Belief systems are probably the most challenged this month as they create the foundation of our stories. Belief systems are anchored in the past and will continue to affect our future unless they are disconnected. They are instruments of the mind and only geared towards survival. They will continue to feed you false information until you examine them and give another instruction. This is a great time to examine your beliefs and see how absolutely divorced many of them are from what is really going on in the present. It is important to stay out of judgment as you realize how outdated your beliefs are and the enormity of what needs to change.

Everyone has specific beliefs about what will make them happy, healthy, loved, successful, well, tired, sick, sad, strong, stressed, depressed, anxious, relaxed, good, bad, responsible, irresponsible, forgiven, spiritual, productive, unproductive etc.. Take some time to examine each of these categories and ask yourself what your personal and specific belief systems are regarding each one. Sometimes it is easier to write in a stream of consciousness exercise unless you are able to do this with a partner where you simply express the stream of consciousness regarding each belief. This is not about judging anything to be either right or wrong. This is about uncovering what’s there so you can see what has been running the show. Emptying the mind in this way is very powerful and you will get to see where your fears are hidden. Belief systems are very limiting in that they constantly create the reasoning behind why you can or cannot do or be something or someone. There are many examples in history of people who have accomplished extraordinary things because they did not buy into the belief that they could not.

We have talked before about the power of the collective belief system that guides the evolution of all living things on the planet. In order to change the collective belief system, each individual must first change their own. It is the hundredth monkey effect that dictates that when enough individual belief systems have evolved to a less limited function, the whole collective will be free to evolve as well. So all of you out there that wish to be of service to the planet at this time can do so by working on your own belief systems.
Along with beliefs come expectations. Expectations are different from committed intentions as they are usually attached to a specific outcome. They are fed by your beliefs and their success or failure becomes part of your story. A true “don’t know mind” leaves a lot of room for your intentions to manifest in interesting and wonderful ways. When you commit to something one hundred percent, without the need to know how you will get there, the universe will begin to weave it creatively into the physical world.

All information about everything already exists in the quantum field and that information will respond to the instruction it gets that comes from unwavering commitment. The minute you try and control how something is going to happen you diminish the power behind the intention that is necessary for the quantum field to respond. And if you commit with conditions (I will do it “if”) the quantum field is a bit confused as to what you really want and will end up creating chaos from mixed messages. Sometimes you have to make a choice. Here is a good example of that. If you are involved in legal negotiations for damages for health reasons (accident, environmental pollution etc.), there is an attachment to your continuing to be in poor health as part of the argument. All the energy you are putting into the legal process is reinforcing the fact that your health and well-being are compromised. The quantum field takes that as an instruction from your belief system. You need to continue to be compromised in order to receive compensation. Therefore the other intention of actually getting well is clouded by the need to remain ill.

Regardless of the other players involved, you may have to examine your original motivation and intention and commitment. If your primary intention is to end up completely well then that is what you intend even if it comes to you in a different way than winning a legal battle over compensation. Beware of giving the field mixed messages. Committed intentions that are not compromised are indeed powerful and have the ability to become manifest almost overnight. If your intentions are compromised or clouded with doubt, mixed messages or conditions it will be much more difficult to see results.

We can’t stress enough the power of these times and what they afford to everyone in terms of opportunity if you can commit, stay in present time and get out of your mental trap that needs to know and control the how of things. You don’t need to know how, you just need to know what. In fact there is very little information available with regards to “how” these days. And what is available is outdated and doesn’t work. So be a pioneer of your own life and decide what you want. Then commit to it one hundred percent without the need to know how you will get there. The early explorers did not have a map. They followed their intuition and they followed signs. They paid attention and stayed present. Signs are different than conditions. You can always ask for signs to guide you so you know you are on the right track. Signs appear as support and provide synchronicity and magic. Conditions are what you place on your intentions that keep them from being fully committed.

Let’s talk about the aggression mode of the year as it relates to and will be filtered through the obstacles. This is something many of you will have to deal with perhaps on a daily basis and it may not be pretty. It will be important to stay out of judgment and to practice compassion and neutrality instead of reacting. All the obstacles will become more aggressive. For example someone who has martyrdom can become aggressively blaming and complaining and demanding; those in stubbornness, aggressively obstinate, argumentative and defensive; those in impatience, aggressively intolerant, dismissive and inconsiderate; those in self-destruction, aggressively destructive and self-destructive and belligerent; those in greed, aggressively hungry, hoarding and ungrateful; those in arrogance, aggressively going for attention and trying to make themselves special; and last but not least those in self- deprecation aggressively withdrawing, giving up, rejecting support and acknowledgement. Remember that self-deprecation is also one of the obstacles of the year and will be manifest by everyone in varying degrees. All the obstacles are nasty, do not serve spirit and will derail your good intentions and commitments faster than anything. So beware, try not to react to others and watch your own tendencies.

SHAMANIC JOURNEY WORKSHOP

Discover How To Release Stress and Empower Yourself

SHAMANIC JOURNEY WORKSHOP

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

Experience Your Hidden Power At Any Time, Any Place

(even if you don’t know the first thing about 
how to use your mind powers )

In this live Los Angeles workshop, you’ll be guided step-by-step to do a shamanic journey. This journey will enable you to enter a deep meditative state, but it’s not really “meditation” as meditation is commonly practiced today.

A shamanic journey will help you go beyond accessing a meditative state, which is a powerful bridge to your higher mind and inner power. You will learn how to cross this bridge rather than getting stuck on the bridge, as is the case with common meditations.

You’ll discover how to…

* experience deep states of total relaxation to access higher mind states

* dramatically reduce stress and anxiety

* release emotional/physical discomfort

* access a higher force beyond your sub-conscious mind

* learn how to get insights and answers to your most pressing questions

* have increased energy and greater optimism

*experience a greater spiritual connection

* learn how your mind works and what you can do to influence your reality

*increase your inner power and learn to overcome obstacles

* experience a greater spiritual connection

What’s a Shamanic Journey?

Did you know that throughout history, shamans, Apache scouts and other wise men and women of knowledge have possessed the power to journey deep within to tap the universal source of information and wisdom?

The Journey will enable you to enter a meditative type state, but it’s not really “meditation.” Many meditations are limited or ineffective. Common meditation practices require the person to sit still or lie still, and when deeper levels of meditation are reached, the person falls asleep or is nearly comatose. Also, typical meditative practices can not be used in a dynamic way.

The shamanic journey is not an end result, but rather a bridge to your higher mind, to your inner power. The objective is to avoid getting stuck on the bridge, as in the case with common meditations.

You want to cross this bridge rather than stay on it. And, once you do, you need to be active rather than passive. The objective is to interact with your higher self to ask for guidance, ideas, insights and answers to pressing questions that are important to you.

Your higher self is a force that is always there to guide you.

Why Should You Use Your Mind Powers?

When you experience deeper states of mind, you will gain far more than feelings of deep relaxation and the elimination of stress. When you shift your state of mind from ordinary states of mind (beta) to higher mind levels (alpha or theta), you can access your inner power.

Your mind is tremendously powerful. You have levels of mind that you have never used consciously. At higher mind levels, you can develop specific abilities that are far beyond what you can imagine. You can gain important insights as to what you need to do in your life to create what you desire, how to heal yourself or loved ones from physical, emotional or mental ailments, how to have more joy in your life and much more.

The mind is where everything starts. Your mind is your doorway into infinity.

Ancient wisdom and modern science provide many clues about the powers of the mind. In physics, for example, it’s known that the mere act of just observing a molecule changes its molecular structure. In other words, thoughts affect our external world.

Your thoughts influence your reality and your probable future. Thoughts affect all facets of our reality such as health, finances and relationships. Our potential mind power is beyond what we have been taught to imagine!

Modern science is only beginning to catch up to the wisdom that the ancient ones have passed on to us over the ages. There is an unseen web of energy that connects us all. A growing number of scientists and researchers call this web of energy the Mind of God.

How A Vision Quest Can Be Life Transforming

WHAT'S A VISION QUEST?

The vision quest is a timeless spiritual practice. The traditional quest is one where the questor goes out alone in the wilderness and fasts from all familiar things---food, (sometimes water) and all communication with people for a period of days or weeks.

All the great spiritual teachers, such as Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, spent time alone in nature to connect with their higher spiritual self. You've probably heard about Jesus spending 40 days in the desert fasting. That was vision questing.

There are many forms of questing from every continent in the world. More common quests are four-day quests. Some consider the "sweat lodge" a form of questing.

This ancient practice is becoming lost as there are very few that teach about it today.

BENEFITS OF A VISION QUEST

Why would people want to put themselves thru this "little death"?

The purpose is to quiet the mind and take inner journeys---very possibly the greatest inner journeys one can take.

When you spend extended time in nature, your everyday mind (the beta mind state), starts to quiet down. As it quiets down, the higher mind, also referred to as theta and/or delta states of mind,emerges. As you access this higher mind, you connect to a higher force, to the spirit-that-moves-through-all-things.

And when that happens, it is life transforming. Many questors get visions during their times of solitude in nature. A quest can help you map out your life's path or what you need to accomplish before you leave this planet.

It answers the deepest spiritual questions and helps you to connect with Spirit. It also tests and develops
your personal strength.

Grandfather, a very powerful wise elder, considered the vision quest an absolutely necessary spiritual practice that could not be substituted.

WHO WAS GRANDFATHER?

"Grandfather" was an Apache wise man, healer and scout, named Stalking Wolf. By the time he was 20, he was called "Grandfather" by all the elders in his tribe, a sign of great respect for his spiritual and earthly wisdom. By way of several vision quests, he discovered that his path would be to leave his tribe for 60 years, traveling up and down the Americas searching out spiritual truths. At the age of 23, he left his tribe and became a wanderer on a life-long spiritual quest.

Mind Machines To Super Achieve

I want to tell you about another powerful tool that you can use to train your mind to enter theta and delta to achieve some pretty awesome results. I'm talking about mind machines.

What they can do for you is mind blowing... 

WHAT ARE MIND MACHINES?

Mind machines are high-tech brain tools that have been proven to enhance mental functioning, boost brain power, alter your mood, and quickly produce peak performance brain states. They provide an avenue for experiential self-exploration. Mind machines can serve as gateways to the spirit, as tools of transcendence.

Light and sound machines, also called AVS (audio visual stimulation), are the most common mind machines. They're easy to use and affordable. Using light and sound pulses at a specified frequency, the mind machine stimulates mental activity in various ways.

They essentially enable you to shift perception from the waking state to a variety of altered states of consciousness.

MODERN MIND TECHNOLOGY & ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE

For centuries, temples, meditation schools and churches have used sensory stimulation to heighten one's experience. Light and sound, for example, have been used to quiet the mind and calm the body. Temple bells, singing, chanting, awe inspiring
architecture and flickering candles have been used to induce deep states of mind.  

Since ancient times, shamans and sages have used the power of fire and rhythmic drumbeats as a bridge to cross from the sub-conscious to deeper mind states.

Did you know that merely gazing into a fire can help you slip into a relaxed or dream-like state? That happens because the fire's flicker rate puts one in the alpha/theta range. Nature is truly our ally.

Today, we can use mind machines to our advantage and control when we want to induce these altered states. Flickering lights from fire can be replaced by flashing patterns via goggles, and drumbeats can be replaced by rhythmic sounds through headphones. 

HOW DO MIND MACHINES WORK?

They change your mind state by altering brainwaves patterns.

Brainwave activity tends to fall into four groups: beta, alpha, theta and delta. Brainwave frequencies are linked to various mind states and moods. 

Light & sound mind machines entrain your brainwaves into the states where meditation, dreaming, or concentration take place. These mind tools gently shift your brainwaves where you want them by stimulating your senses with beautiful patterns of light and sound.

The benefits of these high-tech mind tools center around the concept of what's called entrainment.

Entrainment means that the brainwaves take on the same rhythm of light, sound pulses or vibration. Entrainment occurs naturally in nature such as during rainstorms, bolts of lightning, the steady rhythm of chirping crickets, waterfalls, and streams.


Nature Versus City Entrainment

Entrainment is not always beneficially.  It also happens with the noises occurring in daily city life. Emergency sirens, fast racing vehicles, and airplanes are disruptive to your inner world. Pulsed light waves from television also produce brainwave entrainment-and not in a positive way.

Nature provides brain entrainment that serves to benefit you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Cities, in contrast,create entrainment which disrupts your brain from enjoying tranquility and peacefulness. 

Fortunately, the use of mind machines can allow you to create states of mind that will empower you whenever you want. They're a way to access inner peace and energized states when ever you choose. 

The power of accessing higher mind states restores the body's ability to relax and heal and so much more...

WHAT CAN YOU GET OUT OF IT?

Mind Machines induce deep states of relaxation, diminish negative emotions, and simplify meditative type practices.

Light and sound is an effective tool for anyone who wishes to explore altered states of consciousness, awareness expansion and sensory stimulation, psychedelic-like visual imagery, and profoundly deep relaxation. 

Experiences vary from person to person. Here's some of the benefits of using mind machines...

* Increased creativity

* Deep relaxation

* Memory improvement

* Deeper and better sleep

* Lucid dreaming

* More stable and positive emotions

* Immediate stress relief

* Increased energy after a session

* Enhanced ability to visualize

* Increased ability to focus

* Deeper levels of meditativeness

* Stimulation of growth hormone

* Pain reduction


WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION?

With special light-bearing sunglasses over your closed eyes and headphones over your ears, you are immersed in colorful dancing geometric patterns and entrancing sounds. The light and sound pulse rate shifts from state to state as the session progresses; mental activity will follow the pulse rate of the machine. 

The stunning light creates psychedelic-like visual imagery within your mind and stops the monkey mind chatter.

With so many possibilities you may be wondering where to begin.

Welcoming January 2011!

In this month’s forecast, Lena Stevens, author and co-founder of an international school and consulting firm dedicated to the study and application of shamanism and wisdom, reveals influences and opportunities to take advantage of.

Below is an excerpt from the commentary.

The main theme for January is RESETTING PRIORITIES.

We are now under a new set of influences and themes. As the trends of 2010 have started their exodus as primary motivators and the new trends have begun to settle in, we are inspired to take the creative artisan energy of the last year and begin to use it in realigning our relationship with service. We want our lives to not just be creative but purposeful, growing us towards a deeper satisfaction around what we are actually doing here on the planet. In December, the influences were internal, transitional, re evaluating, and very focused on maintaining on a personal level.  The moving center of 2010 stepped aside allowing the emotional center to flow in as the primary influence for 2011. Many of you may have felt unfocused, unproductive, aimless, tired, subdued and possibly even un-inspired as the moving centered artisan influence of 2010 released its primary position. Now we have an adjustment period as we realign ourselves with what we have chosen for this year. For a time it may still feel like we are under the influence of the artisan as there is definitely the creative desire for expression. However the artisan is not running the show but rather becomes part of the foundation that is in service to the server role of the year.

One of the first things on the agenda for 2011 is to reset your priorities. Spirit has given you many clues and messages over the past months regarding what should be important in your life, where you should be putting your energy and intention, what needs to be let go of as it is of an old paradigm, and what you should be doing and with whom. Some of you have been better than others about listening to these hints and actually taking the steps to reinvent yourselves in a way more aligned with spirit. Therefore some of you will feel a surge of energy this month that should enhance this alignment and open opportunities for self-expression, support and the experience of service. The experience of service is not only related to how you can serve others and the planet, but also addresses how you can be served and how you are presently served by spirit, your allies, the elementals and all of nature.  There is definitely a potential in this alignment for a higher centered experience of life, connection, and all things being really “right”.

If you have not been great at listening and feel your life is somewhat less than you would like it to be, it is never too late to discard those attachments and to choose resolutions that will put you back on track. We are still under the influence of the very powerful winter solstice, eclipse and Full Moon, and will be until the New Moon on January 4 that comes with a partial solar eclipse. The time frame between two eclipses, especially when they are accompanied by other very powerful alignments, is always very potent and should be used proactively to set your intentions and to get things moving in the right direction. If you have been feeling unmotivated, lethargic and unfocused, that could change just before this New Moon when we should experience a surge of energy. Make sure this surge does not scatter you into chaos and negativity, but rather gives you some needed fuel to move forward in the right direction. If you have your priorities set straight you should experience more energy, enthusiasm, inspiration and movement. Pay attention to the intuitive wisdom of the emotional center and the synchronicity it produces. Don’t let the questioning mind get in the way of what you know to be emotionally true. Pay attention to the signs of spirit and don’t argue with or resist what is obvious.

The resetting of priorities this month will definitely be addressed, whether proactively by your decisions and choices, or not so proactively where you end up at the effect of someone else’s decisions and choices. For example, if you know you are in the wrong work situation but have not had the courage to do something about it, a decision may be made for you where you end up out of that work situation through a medical condition, being let go or some other unpleasant circumstance. Take the resetting of priorities this month seriously as there is a rather large engine of energy that wants to propel all of us in the right direction.  Evaluate where you are with your priorities and be truthful about what needs resetting. It may be that you will have to give something up or disappoint someone or take a risk. But if it is the right decision, you will know it.

Since we are under the influence of the emotional center, these decisions of what is “right” for you cannot be fully intellectual. The knowingness must come from another more intuitive place. This is especially challenging for those of you who are not as comfortable with the emotional center and who are used to relying on your rational mind for your answers and problem solving abilities. This is a time when little can be actually solved by “thinking it through”. It is better to use the capacity of the mind in support of the decisions of the intuitive self. Watch out for the obstacles of Self-deprecation and Martyrdom as they try to discourage and disregard what you feel as insignificant, wrong or unworthy. Watch the mind as it strives for control through these obstacles. Trust and hope may be uncharted waters for you but they may be all that is left in some situations.

Remember that what is right for you will also be influenced by the server role of the year.  Re evaluate your motivations for anything you do and any situation you are in. Have the courage to change your mind, say no or yes, and to open yourselves to receive the support and service available to you. The era of going at it alone to prove your strength, power and independence from others is over. This is a time of building trust, receiving support, and collaborating with others. Resetting your priorities should always include putting yourselves first in line to be served by spirit and to receive what is available to you.  Sometimes it is difficult to see through to what is your priority over what is someone else’s priority. In partnership you may have to compromise and support and honor another’s priority at the same time as supporting and honoring your own. This requires a balance so that there is an equal exchange. Often to make a collaboration work, all parties need to be supported equally in a give and take exchange especially when it comes to what is most important. What is most important to you may not what is most important to another and vice versa. Coming up with a balance where everyone gets their needs met and their importance honored will create a balance and bring the spirit of service into any partnership. The main thing is never to give all your power away and compromise yourself completely as this will only lead to resentment and Martyrdom. At the same time, if you are a person who does not make a point of considering what is important to others, this could be an opportunity for you to improve your partnerships by doing so.

Let’s look at some of the specific areas you may need to reset priorities and what it may mean for you if you do it successfully and what it may mean if you don’t.
