Through symbolisms in our dreams we can access unsolved missing pieces of ourselves and obtain broader creative vision in which to see...

Love “Love will enter immediately into any mind that truly wants it, but it must want it truly. Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find  all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. Love waits on welcome, not on time. When you want only love you will see nothing else. If love is sharing, how can you find it except through itself? Offer it and it will come to you, because it is drawn to itself. But offer attack and love will remain hidden, for it can live only in peace. It is the nature of love to look upon only the truth,  for there it sees itself. With love in you,  you have no need except to extend it.” from a Course in Miracles “Love, Which created me, is what I am.”    Chakra 4 - The Heart Location:   Center of chest.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” Marianne Williamson Chakra 3 – Solar Plexus    Location:   Between naval and base of sternum.  Influence: Stomach, upper intestines, liver, gallbladder, kidney, pancreas, adrenal glands, spleen, midd...

“If you’re an alive body, no one can tell you how to experience the world. And no one can tell you what truth is, because you experience it yourself. The body does not lie.” Stanley Keleman

A Chakra is the center of activity that receives, assimilates, and expresses life force energy. This subtle energy system is located at seven levels from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Understanding how our bodies are affected by the beliefs we carry is my message here today.

Chiron "The Wounded Healer"

    In studying the archetype of a planet, an astrologer gains deeper understanding of the teachings of the cosmos. In astrology each planet represents an archetype or universal symbol.  In 1977 astronomers discovered Chiron, a comet-like body orbiting between Saturn and Uranus. This "planetoid", from an astrological perspective, is the archetype of "healing" and the wounded healer".  The discovery of Chiron marked the beginning of a new paradigm in the healing arts and our relationship with health and disease.   Since then, alternative methods of healing have become both more accepted and used, in some cases as an alternative for orthodox medicine. We are making great strides in our evolutionary journey of healing, resulting in the awareness of the body/mind/spirit connection.  We are learning not only how our emotional and psychological histories are stored in our cellular memory and affect our physical well being, but  also how our thou...
