Full Moon in Aries/Sun in Libra – 29º.

What? Two Full Moons in Aries in a row. Is the cosmos making a statement here. I think so. How could it be otherwise. The last Full Moon at the Fall Equinox was at 0º Aries and this Full Moon is at 29º Aries. Did I mention there were going to be five (5) Full Moons in a row at 29º? I did. But it bears mentioning again. What is the significance of 29º? It represents the ending of a cycle, a completion, an encompassing of all the previous aspects and influences, a summation, like the long journey up to the steps of the temple where you turn and look out over your life, acknowledging what has brought you to this point and then removing your shoes and garments and entering the temple without pretense or past. That’s where we are at this time.

We are completing a major cycle of consciousness in the evolution of our planet. We have five Full Moons in a row to contemplate where we have been, what we intend to shed and then to enter this new phase, clean and unencumbered by the past. But of course, there is work to do to enter a higher frequency energy in a clear and unencumbered state.

The Sun in Libra, also at 29º, opposite the Aries Moon has only benevolent aspects in this chart- to Pluto/Ceres and to the Nodes. The Moon also is aspected in a positive way to Pluto/Ceres and the North Node (point of growth and what we need to develop). There is no hint of the T-square of the entire summer that had us in the pressure cooker on high heat on the stove of ‘change-or-get-left-behind’. We made it. We are lighter, leaner, sobered. This is the Moon to celebrate our initiation into our relationship with our true Selves. Look around you into the eyes of your cohort that has embraced the challenge of deep societal transformation enacted from the inside out.

Aries as the first sign of the zodiac wheel is where we learn courage and create a (new) personal identity. The Ram has enthusiasm, assertiveness, and passion and loves a challenge. Its ruler, fiery Mars, calls in our physical energy and sexuality. Use the thrust of this energy to clean out the old patterns of holding yourself in a certain way and to open up the container of relationship to let in more loving kindness. Use your courage to shine out your inner gifts of beauty at the highest level possible. Let the enthusiasm of Aries fill your every contact and interaction.

Many of the personal planets are in Scorpio (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and asteroid Vesta), and we are only 1º away from a Scorpio Sun on Saturday, Oct. 23, at 6:35 AM MDT. With the Sun in Libra, the sign of relationship, and the Moon in Aries, the sign of the self, and their respective rulers, Venus and Mars in Scorpio, we are asked to take back our power for ourselves and use it to examine, penetrate, and let our secrets be revealed and surrendered. There are ways that our psyches are armored that keep our pure, divine expression deeply in check – enculturation, trauma, unsuccessful relationships, being driven deeply into survival strategies, endless witnessing of horrors to our fellow human beings via media all contribute to our inaccessibility to our relationship to our True Source. You can feel the protected places in the body where the life force no longer flows freely. The combination of Aries and Scorpio provides us with the courage to go deeply into these reservoirs of separation and release ourselves. This is our work now – freeing ourselves from the programming of the past that is locked in our very bones. Almost everything in this chart points to re-establishing a new relationship (Libra) with our selves (Aries) and from that we will be able to build a new foundation for relationship with mutually powerful others, and from that create a community/society from the ground up with a spiritual commitment to the whole. That’s what the Age of Aquarius is about in one sense, a grassroots movement to build a society based on truth, love and equality.

Pluto and Ceres are playing a big role now and in this chart. They have been dancing together for most of this year. This is the theme of balancing the power between the masculine and feminine that we as global awakeners have stepped up to integrate through our recreating of ourselves, our relationships, the way we work and live, vote, spend our resources, and how we treat others. Forgive and heal the masculine within and without. Empower the feminine in yourself and in all areas of your life. Mars, the masculine Warrior, is involved in the only stressful aspect in this chart. Mars squared to Chiron (and Neptune as witness) suggests what the masculine has carried from the past is aligned to open and heal now utilizing the detached compassion of Aquarius. Let’s all focus on our fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, uncles, lovers, teachers, friends and all the Shivas in our lives and send them love and forgiveness from our deepest selves. Much can be healed in this way. The chart is asking us to bring that masculine part of ourselves into balance.

This Full Moon will help us make our way to the top of that mountain, take a deep breath and survey all that we have accomplished. There is much to celebrate!

Because Divine Source Energy only knows…

Here’s another idea for a new type of affirmation that I came up with a couple of days ago and completely fell in love with the concept.

What you are wanting to do here is to remember that you are one with Divine Source Energy. Because you are one with all that is, and as an aspect of Source, you have the abilities of Divine Source Energy as well. With that in mind, here are some examples of how to use this knowing in an affirmation:

Because Divine Source Energy only knows love,
I only know love.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows happiness,
I only know happiness.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows peace,
I only know peace.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows complete health,
I only know complete health.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows joy and freedom,
I only know joy and freedom.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows prosperity and abundance on all levels,
I only know prosperity and abundance on all levels.

Because Divine Source Energy only knows vibrational alignment with its desires,
I only know vibrational alignment with my desires.

Now add your own and really play with this. I have dozens and dozens so far, and more on the way as I think of new ones to say every day. The more you say these types of affirmations, either out loud or to yourself, the more you will begin to really feel them working. The ones I have listed are examples, and I listed them as they came to me. If they work for you, great! If not, then change the wording and the structure to suit what feels best to you.

Combine these with the Morning Affirmations I posted the other day, and the Personalized Affirmation sets and you are giving yourself a real boost of energy and positive thought. As always, make sure you’re grounded first, so that the affirmations can have a fuller effect. =)

Bright Blessings!

Morning Affirmations

I’d like to give you an easy and straightforward process that you can do every morning. What this does is begin to set the energy of the day, and set your personal energy, to a higher vibration. Many people don’t realize how they are affecting themselves and their day by simply hitting the alarm, rolling out of the nice warm bed, and going to the bathroom, or making coffee, or whatever, before they are even in their bodies and fully awake.

This leads to the morning getting off to a rather chaotic start, where you do something hilarious like brushing your teeth with some ointment instead of the tooth paste, yet millions do this very thing every single day. I want to show you how to simply and easily change that habit into one that will serve you better and have you feeling better throughout the day. If you’ve been a regular reader of my site here, then you know that the first thing I recommend for anyone, at any time, is to get grounded. Using the grounding techniques when you first wake up gets you back into your body fully and completely, and gets you back into the center of your head, where you need to be to function properly. Now let’s talk about affirmations.

Your Words Have Power

The whole idea behind using any affirmation is three-fold. The first step is to begin to get the positive statements into your head, both on a conscious and subconscious level. This starts getting you used to saying positive messages about yourself which breaks up the habit of saying negative messages about yourself. This, in turn, will help you to be aware of when you do have negative internal thoughts. Then, you’ll be able to catch those negative thoughts and turn them into positive ones.

The second step is to allow the affirmations to activate the feelings each one invokes in you. When I say “your words have power”, that’s not an idle esoteric bemusing. It’s the truth. Why do your words have power? Because we assign ’emotion’ to each and every one of them. Now, the emotion may not be very big, say for a “common” word such as “and”, but there is still some emotional content there. Of course, for the words that have deep meaning, significance and relevance to our lives, the emotional content is huge! This is one of the reasons why one affirmation doesn’t work for everyone. We all have different levels of emotion and energy infused with each word or statement. What may have tremendous impact on you, may have little to no impact on me.

The third step is to allow the positive emotion that comes up from the affirmation to change your energy and vibration. You see, the idea is not to just say the affirmations “by rote” like you did in school, but to actually feel the emotional and energetic shift that takes place when you say them. When you are fully conscious and aware of that energy shift, you feel the good emotions even more. By having your attention and focus on allowing those better feeling thoughts and emotions, you become more in control of you. You are now deliberately creating how you feel.

I Choose How I Feel

Once you accept that fact, that you choose how you feel, you will begin to see how you’ve allowed your emotions to have their way with you, as it were, since forever. Very few of us are taught these things when we’re young and can use them to gift ourselves an amazing emotional life. I wasn’t taught this until I hit 30, so there was a lot of releasing of old patterns that had to take place, but the more I did these types of processes, the faster I was able to let go and be in charge of myself and allow myself to feel good. That is the whole point here, to feel better.

By deliberately and consciously choosing to feel better, no matter what may appear to be going on around you, you are actively deciding how your life is in the moment, and will be in the following moments. Abraham calls this being in the “Vortex”. This simply means that you are in alignment with your self, fully and completely and it feels really good when you do. Using the Morning Affirmation process is a great step in getting you there on a regular basis.

The Process

So, the clock has just gone off. Instead of bolting out of bed, keep your eyes closed and ground yourself. Be in the center of your head. Breathe easily. Now, begin to say, either out loud or to yourself, any or all of the following affirmations:

  • I give thanks and gratitude for the love that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the joy that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the peace that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the appreciation that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the healing that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the positivity that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the prosperity that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the wealth that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the generosity that flows to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the blessings that flow to me, through me and from me.
  • I give thanks and gratitude for the love that flows to me, through me and from me.

My current favorite affirmation that I say throughout the day, but most definitely first thing in the morning before I get up, really helps set the energy for the rest of the day:

  • I give thanks for this wonderful day. Miracle will follow miracle and my life is filled with love and wonders and joy and prosperity.
  • In just 5 minutes, you’ve completely changed your emotions, your energy and your mental outlook. Now you are in control of who you are and what you are becoming. In keeping with that idea, I highly suggest that you use an alarm clock that has a music option, instead of the typical buzzers and ringers. With music waking you up, you are much more relaxed and not in that immediate “WAKE UP!” mode the buzzers put you in. Your body will thank you for not having to deal with the adrenaline rush every morning.

    One other thing to note here, you don’t have to use these exact affirmations. Change the words, or the entire structure, to suit you. As long as the affirmations you do use have meaning for you and feel powerful to you is all that matters. Just do this every morning, and repeat them throughout the day if that feels good to do, and you’ll notice the change in the first two weeks. You’ll wake up with a smile on your face, and you’ll be ready to go into the day with excitement and enthusiasm.

    If you’d like more affirmations to use in creating a better life for yourself, you can own a set of Personalized Affirmations made specifically for you based on whatever you are wanting to work on. =)

    Bright Blessings,

    Understanding Manifestation and Creation

    Here’s a situation I see fairly frequently with friends and clients who are new to the Law of Attraction and metaphysics in general. They tend to not fully understand manifestation and creation in regards to the Law of Attraction and how they are the major part of that manifestation.

    When I’ve asked them “when are you manifesting and creating?”, most say that when they’ve created something “big” in their lives, whether it was a positive or negative experience, then that is when they were manifesting. They can see the evidence of the Law of Attraction and how it works in their lives, but their perspective is narrow, as they are only looking at these large events that have taken place.

    This is not unusual. Most people only really remember the “big events” of their life. Those that have impacted them in a strong emotional way. Rarely does anyone recall or remember the small things that happen on a daily basis. Because we are not taught to pay attention to everything going on around us and inside us, we tend to let those small things drift out of our consciousness. I see this as one of the blocks to our spiritual evolution, and another reason why some people have a difficult time manifesting what they want.

    Here is what I tell my healing clients and metaphysical students:

    Everything that is in your life right now, you manifested. Everything that has ever been in your life, you manifested.

    So what do I mean by “everything”? I mean exactly that. Everything. Every moment, every thought, every action, every feeling, every experience; you created for yourself. That’s what we are. We’re creators and manifestors. We have thoughts, which create feelings, which create desires, which create manifestations. By understanding that this is who we are and this is how we operate, we can now see that EVERYTHING we do is a creation and that it is all sacred.

    Does this mean you have to acknowledge every minute thing in your life? Every thought, or feeling, or action, no matter how seemingly insignificant? Of course, you acknowledge everything, but you don’t have to examine each thing separately. You can if you want to, but that would cause you to not get much accomplished, as you’d be too busy acknowledging every breath, and every heart beat, etc. No, you don’t have to go to that extreme, but you do have to acknowledge, in general, that you are the one manifesting all of these things going on, and to be grateful for them in your life.

    That said, I will tell you that the more you do acknowledge, appreciate and are grateful for the smaller events and experiences in your life, the more positive experiences you’ll create for yourself. This is the main principle of the Law of Attraction. Like attracts like. As you become more and more grateful for all that is around and in you, more and more circumstances will be created that you can be grateful for.

    What Is Your Perspective?

    Another aspect to understanding manifestation and creation is knowing what your perspective is. To illustrate this point, let me give you my favorite example. If you are looking at a rose, then what are you seeing? Well, a flowering bush that we call a rose, that has certain colors and smells and other characteristics we find pleasurable, for the most part. There are the thorns, which are not pleasurable, but if we’re careful then we don’t have to worry about them. In the main, it’s a beautiful flower, and we enjoy it. 

    Rose

    Rose

    Now what if you were a farmer raising daisies? What would your perspective be then, if you saw a rose in the middle of your daisy field? Now, that is no longer a beautiful flower to be admired for it’s color and scent. No, now that rose a weed. But wait a minute, it’s a rose. How can one of the most cherished flowers in history be thought of as a weed? From the perspective of the farmer, it’s easy. The rose is not where it “should” be, and it certainly isn’t supposed to be in the middle of the daisies.

    This example can be applied to everything that you experience. Do you see how our perspective changes everything? To most, the idea of a single rose bush flowering in the middle of all the white and yellow of the daisies would be an interesting contrast indeed, but the farmer’s gone for the weed killer and a hoe. Once you recognize that how you see things determines your feelings about them, you can begin to change your perspective to one that is not limiting and negative. One of the fastest ways to do this is by acknowledging that you were the one who created whatever is in front of you to begin with.

    This will give you an opportunity to re-examine your perspective on the object, person or situation and change it to a more positive one. If it’s something that is “perceived” as a negative, then forgive yourself, let the negativity of it go, and even if you can’t see anything particularly positive about it at the moment, at least get as neutral to it as you can. Once you practice this, you’ll see how your feelings and perspective changes about everything around you. You will begin to bring in much more positive experiences into your life.

    By understanding that you create it all and that you have the ability to change your perspective, you will allow yourself to see more than you’ve seen before. You will give yourself a view of your life that is clear and uncluttered. You will give yourself a level of gratitude and love higher than you’ve ever experienced. In turn, your prosperity and abundance, on all levels, will grow tremendously.

    Bright Blessings to you!

    Your Declaration of Financial Independence

    This is a very powerful affirmation, that will get your vibration/energy, your consciousness and your sub-conscious mind into the idea of creating wealth. I have it on my altar in the wealth corner of my room, and read it three times each day. It really does set up a wonderful vibration of affirmation and expectancy. May it serve you well!

    Declaration of Financial Independence

    I am the source of all wealth.
    I am rich with creative ideas.
    My mind abounds with new, original, inspired thoughts.
    What I have to offer is unique, and the world desires it.
    My value is beyond reckoning.
    What the world needs and desires, I am ready to produce and to give
    What the world needs and desires, I recognize and fulfill.
    The bounty of my mind is without hinderance or limit.
    Nothing can stand in the way of my inspired creativeness.
    The overflowing power of Life Force energy overcomes every obstacle and pours out into the world, blessing and prospering everyone and everything through me.
    I radiate blessings.
    I radiate creativity.
    I radiate prosperity.
    I radiate loving service.
    I radiate Joy, Beauty, Peace, Wisdom and Power.
    Humanity seeks me and rewards me.
    I am beloved of the world.
    I am wanted wherever I go.
    I am appreciated.
    What I have to offer is greatly desired.
    What I have to offer brings a rich reward.
    Through my vision the world is blessed.
    Through my clear thinking and steadfast purpose, wonderful new values come into expression.

    My power to accomplish is unlimited.
    I, in my utmost God Source, am all wealth, all power, all productivity.
    I hereby declare my financial freedom, NOW and henceforth forever!

    This declaration of financial independence is a powerful statement of the truth about you. When it is read aloud with deep feeling, three times a day, at morning, noon, and night, it sinks into the subconscious where it works a silent miralce. It will transform negative attitudes into positive affirmations of faith, and mightily stirring up the spiritual forces which lie within every human mind, dormant until they are called into action. Give this unique declaration a serious trial for the next 30 days and watch the miracles coming into your life! Again, read this aloud for best effect.

    Blessed Be!

    “Tolemac”

    Quick edit: Talk about syncronicity! After I posted this this morning, I received an email from Dr. Joe Vitale (Mr. Fire) with this exact declaration! It seems he recently posted it on his website as well! Gotta love how the Universe works! It just affirms to me that this is one of those things that needs to be out there and practiced by as many people as possible, so please share this with everyone you know. The more people affirming this in their lives, the better we will all be! Brightest Blessings to you all!
