from the Editor Another month has arrived! Where oh where is the year going? Just seems like we started this year and here we are coming down the home stretch.

Autumn definitely has arrived, vibrant colors appear daily and the air has shifted to cooler temps. Layers seem to be the order of the day, cozy scarves and sweaters are coming out of hibernation soon to be followed by gloves. Autumn brings a different warmth, one that is seen by the eye in the ever changing colors of nature and deliciously worn to ward off the chill.

October is a month, of all things fun, take advantage of the beauty nature offers, and explore with curiosity. Find new venues to thrill you and expand your local knowledge. Try a new food or visit a new shop in search of a new cozy sweater. Make sure you find a nature trail, take your camera, and ground yourself in the beauty that only happens this time of year.

In Canada, we have Thanksgiving this month, around the world Oktoberfest will offer some fantastic tastes and music to tempt us, and of course the magic of Halloween closes off the month. There is something for each of us to embrace and enjoy.

Find bliss, this month, discover a new warm beverage to sip on those cooler days, pull out last year’s warmer clothes and find new favorites, bake some pies, and carve a few pumpkins. Spend time with friends and family catching up, share photos from summer and take a few new ones to add to the memory collection.

A new season is taking hold, what are you leaving behind with summer and what new are you welcoming into your life? No matter where October finds you, seek peace, joy and love.

Namaste

I noticed that I was being challenged, or should I say asked, to review certain aspects of myself. It was presented slowly over time, at first I was barely aware that I was being asked anything. I did notice that something was off, yet could not put my finger on it.

Yet, it was building like a volcano under pressure, and was threatening to blow!

happening, instead of being irritated I could giggle silently. In that shift, I could see how there was no cause for me to have any emotions around others actions, instead I needed to just observe what was going on. If I was to do anything, it was to look at where those actions resided in me. As I was having a negative emotion around said action, I had the power to shift it.

Then suddenly, in a quiet moment of reflection, it hit me! Mirrors were being presented to me, those odd little quirks in others that cause unseen triggers to go off within me. There were many emotions being brought to the surface, not just one or two, for consideration. I will admit that it was a shock, and I thought nah, not me, I am not guilty of those aspects – it is them.

The more I practiced this thankfulness, the easier it became to stay focused. I was then reminded that to be of service is the best way to help yourself. It was not about putting on a fake smile, but a true, genuine “how can I help you?” I felt lighter, more centered, and easily able to complete tasks. Even when I was pulled away, I could take up the task I was removed from without much effort. I was back in my groove and all it took was an attitude of gratitude.

Just to ensure that I understood the importance of this simple tool, the universe threw me a tidal wave. While the drama of others almost made me capsize, I silently thought, wait a minute – take a breath, and ask yourself is this me or them? I gave thanks for the tidal wave and their drama and moved forward fearlessly.

There is an old saying “it takes one to know one” and that is often a hard pill to swallow.

I started to pay attention, to observe, what was going on when an emotion of frustration, hurt, impatience or anger washed over me from the action of another. I wanted to see if the mirror was clearly a mirror or simply a tool that would show me a new path to be discovered.

Next time you are irritated by the actions of others do these three things, one - take a breath, two – give thanks, three – look at where it resides in you. If you are unhappy about something, and that is what is happening with these emotions that spring forth, you have been given the most amazing opportunity to shift it and release it.

It became clear to me that a couple things were going on. One, having others present their “busyness,” showed where I had been disengaged when dealing with people because my plate was full. I noticed that I was not hearing all the words being said to me because I typically was doing 2 or 3 things at once. I was having to say “I am sorry, I missed that, and can you repeat that, please.”

Not something I was particularly proud or pleased about.

Gratitude creates a sacred space that surrounds you. Your own personal sacred space that requires nothing material or external.

When you walk in gratitude this sacred space expands and provides an overall sense of health and well-being. It becomes a silent protective bubble that supports you as you release an untoward behavior. It is a calm that is able to weather any storm life throws at you. You begin to see everything in a new way and acceptance and love are easier to extend to all around you. Because, as you release those shadows in yourself that others are mirroring, you have less to be irritated by.

Having many important projects and deadlines happening at once meant that none of the projects were getting my proper attention.

I tend to miss things when that happens and I also get so overwhelmed that I don’t know where to start or what to do first.

And then perhaps the most important mirror was presented to me.

The shadow of fear around not meeting a standard. Either one imposed by others or by oneself. The most important because that becomes the acceptance and judgement game. One where I would be living in non-acceptance and judgement of others. Really, that is how it would be mirrored back to me, because I was living in that state.

An attitude of gratitude has more healing power than has been tapped.

Those are a couple of examples of what was being generously mirrored to me for review by other unsuspecting people. I did not like that I was not hearing, was missing little details, and was feeling like I was failing. I could have rolled on down the pity path, but decided that I needed to shine my light on those shadows. After all, they were being given to me as a tool.

So how did I shine my light? I am glad you asked! I started off by simply taking a deep breath and saying a silent thank you. Thank you for showing me an aspect of myself that I am not happy to have continue. Think of it as a releasing, I was releasing that which no longer served me by simply thanking it. Amazing things started

I still remember the day of my Grandmother’s funeral, although it was many years ago now. I loved her so dearly, and could not imagine my world without her. I stood on the steps of the church after the service, tears still rolling down my face. My cousin came over to me with this admonishment: “Why are you crying? She had a long life, she experienced a lot of suffering, and it was her time to go.” I looked at her, recognizing for the first time as I said the words, “I’m not crying for her, I’m crying for me!” That was the moment when I realized that death is natural, even a blessing sometimes. It is our separation from the physical presence of the person which makes us sad. If we mix up the two, our pain becomes immense. If we decide that a death should not have happened, then we feel betrayed by the Universe, God, or fate, depending on our belief system.

really left the oneness, it is only our consciousness, that changed. Transcendence or nirvana happens when we catch a glimpse of the oneness and perfection underlying our existence. We see the beauty in every person, and the connectedness we share. We recognize that time is an illusion, the Universe, holographic, the whole existing in every part. We do not ‘leave’ others, nor do they ‘leave’ us. The form of another may change, from physical to non-physical, but the essence remains strong and clear in our hearts. The physical body serves as a cocoon for the evolving soul. When it is time for the soul to take flight, the body can be left behind. It is, of course, the naïve ego that grieves. It cries for the loss of my Mother/Father/child/partner/friend. “Why did God take my beloved from me?” He or she never was mine. That is an illusion of the ego.

None of us can ever really fully understand why life unfolds as it does. There are metaphors, however, that can bring peace of mind in a sometimes turbulent and uncertain world. This is the one I like the best. Once upon a time all of us who are on Earth right now existed as one comprehensive soul in some other realm. We decided in order to extend our learning and understanding, that we would take on separate physical forms, and experience threedimensional reality. We decided what roles we would play, and who we would be in relation to the others. We even pre-programmed the experiences we would have, so we would have the best opportunity to become more ‘advanced’ souls. Advancement would depend on the way in which we responded to the challenges of our particular threedimensional experience, that is, our life. Some signed up for a long stay, while others would check in only briefly. The key to making the experience authentic, was that we would forget where we came from, and why we were here. Part of the puzzle of life would be to figure that out. As souls, we entered an ‘alternate reality’ when we came here. As such, we were as vulnerable to distorted perceptions as thirsty desert travelers are to mirages.

Each soul has its own journey, that must be respected. If we understand this, and let go early on, we can truly celebrate the wonder of each and every person. We can have a deep reverence for the love we share with others, and that does not allow us to take them for granted. Ego is the child that captures the butterfly and holds it in the jar, or does not want to give away any of the baby kittens. Soul is the gracious essence that knows butterflies are most beautiful when flying free, and that even the kittens have their own destiny to fulfill. Love is letting go. The beauty is, when we let go, we do not lose the love, for love is eternal. My Grandmother is as alive and loving in my heart today as she was when I was a little girl, and as she was the day I had to let her go. I cried because I thought she was gone. Little did I know that she would have a permanent home in my heart. You can’t get much closer than that!

The biggest of those is, first, our belief in permanence, and our consequent desire to ‘hold on’ to people, situations, and things. If the desert traveler became attached to the oasis mirage, he would surely be doomed. He must keep moving. And so it is with us. Three-dimensional reality is not the true reality. We all come for a while for the experience, but we must keep moving. Earth is not our final destination.

The second distorted perception is that we are separate and distinct from one another. It will seem as though we re-merge into the oneness when we have completed our experience here. However, we never 11

GONE TO SEED, BLOOM AGAIN A friend of mine caught my attention when he said, “I can tell, she has gone to seed.� I am a senior, do not want to go to seed and am an enthusiastic gardener. However, his words spurred me on to re framing the idea and believing a person can reinvent themselves at any stage in life.

Just like the gardening, we harvest the seeds, replant or trim and soon have complete new growth. My gardening experience tells me every plant needs nurturing soil and a suitable climate in which to flourish.

We to, need to recognize the various stages of our lives, assess the challenges and welcome the new opportunity to make adjustments.

Are we in need of an over-haul, a push to gain insight and/or reinvent ourselves? We all deserve a second change to shift gears, catch-up and bloom again. The world welcomes courageous people at any age.

Many people have heard of druids, and some may associate them with the white robed figures that take part in Eisteddfods (a large festival of competitive music and poetry in Europe). Others think of them as ‘pagans’ and associate them with wiccans, asatruists and others who worships gods and goddesses from a host of world-wide pantheons. Some consider them mystics and magicians. And some may associate them more as shamans that work at developing a living relationship with the planet and all the creatures thereon.

der of Druids in America at http://aoda.org/faq.html, and in Australia there is the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids in Australia, as http://druidryaustralia.org/. To name just a few.

However, if you are curious about Druidry and just want to know a little bit about it, then I invite you to keep me company as I walk around the ‘wheel of the year’, which is the name given to the passing of the seasons. So let’s start by looking at this Wheel of the Year.

The fact is that they can be all of these things, and yet none of these things. Druidry teaches many basic philosophies, and imparts a lot of knowledge about many ‘earth’ related topics, but it makes no demands on those that follow the path to live according to a set of dogmatic beliefs. It allows each person to practice those elements of the teachings that they can resonate with for their particular level of development. And no judgement is made by one on the other if the way they live their druid paths winds in different ways. It is always accepted that each person’s individual path is as unique and eclectic as they are.

I am not a teacher of the Druid ways, and if you are looking for a structured learning program then I recommend you contact one of the many Druidic organisations to be found on the internet such as the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids at http://www.druidry.org/ about-us/about-order, or the British Druid Order at http:// www.druidry.co.uk/.

Whilst Druidry may have begun in the UK, it has been adopted by many people in many countries. In America there is the Ancient Or-

Our Druid ancestors followed the movements of the sun, moon and stars. Their daily calendars were attuned to the moon, and they had thirteen months in a year, to which they attributed various symbolic correspondences. And they held as sacred the four special Solar-days of the two solstices and equinoxes, and the four ‘cross-quarter’ days that occurred at midpoints between these.

In modern times the solstices and equinoxes are determined by maritime calculations and the custom is now to have them on the same day each year. But for our ancestors who followed the stars, what we now call the solstices and equinoxes were when the Sun was at 0 degrees of the four Cardinal signs in astrology – Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. And the cross-quarter days were when the sun was at 15 degrees of the four fixed signs in astrology – Aquarius, Taurus, Leo and Scorpio. This results in different days for these events, and which you choose to use is a matter of personal preference.

The Wheel of the Year is represented by a circle with 8 spokes, and the year begins with the Winter Solstice and ends with what we now call Halloween. Please see the table below for more information on the order of dates.

I am an Intuitive healer. I have learnt over the years to listen to that soft voice in my mind that tells me to 'do this' or 'say that' and to understand that this is not my voice but my higher conscious connecting to spirit. I have been a clairvoyant for over 30 years and started my spiritual inner journey with learning to strengthen my connection to guides and angels, as I matured I found myself drawn to wanting to understand the human body and its unique energies and so started a long journey of learning.

My Method : 1. Approach every client with no preconceived ideas - remain neutral 2. Always do you protection - for me this is my white light technique 3. Ask for help from your guides and angels 4. Be flexible - if you have started out doing a Reiki session and are told to add in something else ie massage or energy release - listen and do so.

5. Let go of Ego and learn to differentiate the voices in your mind...which are yours and which belong to guides and spirit 6. Do not judge please and relax and allow the healing and energy and connections to flow 7. Share the information given whether it makes sense to you or not! I have learnt that it matters not to spirit if what they are telling me makes any sense to ME as it always does to my clients! Also the more you share the quicker and clearer you answers come in the future.

I first started out in learning and then providing Swedish Massage. I would find it interesting as I also found the Reflexology I learnt and the aromatherapy and the kinesiology etc. BUT it was not until I learnt Reiki that it all come together for me. Hands on healing and my connections to spirit merge and for me a new path opened for me to travel down.

The messages we hold onto within our bodies both from this life and also from past incarnations is limitless and finding a pathway to accessing this information and to letting go of current and old scars is liberating to the healer and client in many levels and ways.

We are like a lotus, layered and complex in design but at the same time beautiful in our simplicity. Learn to open up your layers and you will find the answers you are seeking outside of yourself.

For me to truly aid a client I use a multi level approach that I have learnt over the years I have worked with spirit.

Have a fabulously creative month.

Crock pots, slow cookers, even roasting in a low temp oven produces tender, tasty meals that are easy on your time and budget. I love my slow cooker as I can set and forget. If time is tight you can usually prep the night before, store in the fridge, and in the morning just place the liner in the pot, turn it on and go.

Fall is the perfect time to dust off the crockpot and free up some valuable time to enjoy family activities.

SLOW AND EASY CHICKEN INGREDIENTS: Skin off - bone in Chicken thighs Onion

Carrots 28 oz can diced Tomatoes 1 cup Dry White Wine Pepper Thyme Bay leaf

DIRECTIONS: Chop onion and carrots in whatever fashion you choose. I did not have an onion when I made this recipe and used dehydrated onions.

Place in bottom of slow cooker.

Place chicken thighs on top of vegetables.

In a bowl, combine tomatoes - I took one third of the can and blended it to a smooth consistency - wine, thyme, and pepper. I used 1 tbsp. thyme, and about 20 grinds of pepper.

Pour over chicken, and using a wooden spoon, gently lift chicken around the edges to allow juice to flow around.

Tuck in a couple of bay leaves. Place lid on and turn on low, cooking for 8 hours.

Serve with rice or noodles and some steamed broccoli.

Very easy and produces a tender, flavorful dinner for those busy days.

Hi, and a wonderful equinox to all of you.

lieve me, know that less than five percent of anyone who ever enlisted their time to learn thus achieved something.

The proof is also presented to us as they came out with the missing “Secret” link years later, to help those who got nothing out of it. What a crock, the creators made another million.

There has been a lot of talk of the new shift about to happen, and that Gaia has started to shift to 5d, what do you all think of this? I’m sure there will be some authors commenting on this, so I will touch briefly on it, then go to another subject.

What does this mean to us, to the average Joe, or to an atheist? It’s all about perception. I have talked about perception before, and I will say it again, perception greatly rules our lives. As you may or may not have learned previously, perception differs with many souls, depending on where you are on your path of awakening. I have counselled high vibration and low vibration pathfinders, and though the outcome tends to be the same, the path to getting there isn’t. Again, this is from my experience of working with my tribes, but the paths do cross, and for some they either don’t see it, or refuse to believe that it happened.

My point is that, with each new wave of souls learns from the past ones. Sometimes there are crock pots out there, but we each must learn to see the rise in vibration for ourselves.

We can only learn so much from the media, and lately, as you know, it’s not worth watching. The perception of the current generation is more open, as long as we keep them away from the millionaire fraudsters. The fourth wave, and the newbies of the last ten years are coming in so open. I have had the pleasure of working with these new souls, and because of the work each wave has done to this point, they are passing us in leaps and bounds.

The first wave of Lightworkers, born from 1945 to 1958, was given the task to open a way of lighter learning for others who came after. The second wave, 1960 to 1975, had less denseness to work with, as the first wave helped make it a little easier. By easier, I mean they started to do the work in the 60’s, an enlightened time of free love not war mantras.

That was their way of expressing what they wanted to share.

Naturally, media chimes in on the generation at hand, and with lots of money, propel the ideals of what we thought as a whole at the time. Recall the shows of the 60’s, and 70’s, they started to embrace the social change of new ways of thinking. Archie Bunker and blacks, Happy Days and no worries, Andy Griffith and Mork and Mindy with possibilities of aliens. All were “feel good” shows so we would forget about the war and move on.

But, don’t fret if you are from an older soul group, many are here to help in guiding you to the new light, the new earth.

Whether Gaia moves forward or not, she will always welcome those that are willing to do the work. When you see all the reality shows, all the News of the now on T.V., and I hope most of you are not watching, realize that there are those who want to keep us in fear. For those that don’t fall for it, we salute you, because things are a changing. Montesano is losing, the warmongers are losing, our newbies are here to help with the new earth, the new thought modalities, and each of us need to embrace the new thinking’s, and support the newbies where we can. The perception of each generation affects the next, albeit, it makes it better, so don’t be alarmed if you don’t experience the new 5d, some of us need to stay behind to help the older ones.

Then our generation wanted more, more disco, more about feelings, a throwback to the 60’s. As each generation embraces what the previous has done, our perception is to take it to the next step, the next level. So we grow in the shadow of the previous generation, and as we grow and learn, we always take it up a notch, that’s the evolution of vibration.

There are so many visuals I could provide for each generation that I cannot name them all here, but you get the picture.

Now, the third wave embraces all the teachers that have come forward since the 70’s and 80’s. Chopra, Cannon, Dyer, Braden, Lipton, Robbins, I will omit the time we went through the "Secret.” I will tell you, as I speak truths from my learning, that the Secret was a bunch of bullshit. This was the most misuse of power I have witnessed, and if you don’t be-

Much love and light,

Robert

Dear Ones, Today, September 28, 2015, is a day like no other you have experienced on or in earth. You have crossed the barrier from human to Universal being. Of course, many of you question that statement for you feel or look little different from what was true yesterday or last month. Yet, you have opened your heart in ways you cannot yet envision.

Many of you have learned that an open heart is step one for becoming a Universal being – the end product of that statement is how you will dramatically begin to notice new you.

With a fully open heart, you will react differently to the same stimulus. Such does not mean you will necessarily open your doors to those not as fortunate as you. Or that you will wish to live on the street and beg for food after giving your money to an organization or religious community. It means those you once held in contempt, for whatever reason, will suddenly start to feel and appear human. As if you can see beyond their words into their hearts.

So it is earth has become part of the Universes through the efforts of you and your fellow star travelers.

Will greed, anger, war and punishment cease immediately? No. For you, at the forefront, will capture the rewards of an open heart before such is true for those following. It will be a process. But a much more rapid process than would have been true if all had entered the Universes at the same time.

You are the beacons of love and hope.

Earth is now open to Universal love as indicated by the recent visit of Pope Francis who radiates an open heart for all to see. Even though he remains within the mainstream expectations of who and what a pope of 3D earth is, he is also a beacon for all radiating love and joy within the parameters he created for himself.

So it will be for you. You can easily jump outside 3D parameters or remain within. For once your heart has opened – and it has – you create the life of your dreams.

Perhaps you wonder why anyone would wish to remain within 3D parameters. We direct your attention to Pope Francis. He has done more to open hearts within his 3D worldly role than would be possible of someone with another 3D label. For by his role, Pope Francis commands international attention and homage. So it is you 29

will move into your place – one that feels right for you and no other.

How will your newly opened heart change earth? You will be less interested in gossip, spreading fear or being with others who do not feel or express joy. You will build a small bubble of joy around yourself that becomes larger and larger as others wish to discover what your joy is about.

There will be others who pretend to be joyful just to be near you. But miracle of miracles, because they wish to be part of your joy bubble, they will create one of their own within your bubble. Until they wish to separate from your bubble and create one of their own. So it will go – rapidly we might add – bubble after bubble.

For once others join your bubble, they will discover they are not interested in the same type of creation or development as you – discovering their own path once they have opened their hearts.

You, at the forefront, did the same only not in that sequence. You started on your path before fully opening your heart. That was your courage, your role and your magnificent plan prior to entering earth in this lifetime.

You bravely explored the frontier of your innerbeing without knowing what you would find. You cut through the pain and heaviness that traumatized you for eons with little assistance other than your courage and inner knowing that you needed to move forward for something.

That something is now. For indeed, you are beginning to reap your rewards of love and joy in many ways you could not have fathomed a mere few months ago.

Some of you will declare that little has changed in your life. We beg you to state the same in one month.

So it is you are now a complete Universal being with an open heart – drawing the masses to you to discover why your joy is so radiant and enticing. So be it. Amen.

What won’t happen if I do achieve this goal? What won’t happen if I don’t achieve this goal? Marry this with your Saturn work this month and you will be well on your way to manifesting your deepest desires!

Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Self-exploration – perhaps a retreat is in order. Look for something that will allow you have some along time and help you go deep – where you can stop to ‘notice how you feel’.

Aries (March 20-April 19) Mirror a Master that you feel reflects the success, resourcefulness and entrepreneurial levels that you wish to accomplish. Focus on health and fitness, make the change by acknowledging the investment in yourself.

Be… the goal

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Know and study your Laws – Law of attraction; Law of Transmutation of Energy; Law of Action; Law of Cause and Effect; Law of Polarity … just to name a few…

Work hard … next month you may want to play hard…

Taurus Horoscope (April 20-May 20) Don’t fall victim to issues involving too high of expectations or being delusional about your health, it will only bring you down in the long run. Put equal time into your relationships and your Career.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22-Dec. 20) Make sure that health needs do not become an issue, use a release process or meditation practices to quiet the mind. On the wild side let your dreams be unbounded, keep a dream journal by the bed … your career may depend on it.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21-June 20) It is time to get creative by working on your own “happiness project”. Focus on creative writing with a connection to both sides of the equation …academia and connection to your spirit (via meditation).

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 21-Jan. 20) You may find yourself hot on the path of reaching a new level in your career or perhaps a new career altogether. As you are climbing your ladder to success don’t forget to let creativity flow and your friendships blossom.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21-July 21) Be creative with friends, plan a potluck art party … full of fun and frivolity. Don’t let anyone ruin your fun … and certainly don’t sweat the small stuff. You will have fun – even if everyone brings the same thing.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 21-Feb. 18)

Leo Horoscope (July 22-Aug. 22) You may need to have a long talk with one of your siblings – perhaps they are not completely aware of things that need to be addressed. Home and career need to be in balance this month.

Jump at any opportunities to travel through work. You may feel that you need to put a little bit of yoga into your daily routine in order to maintain any structures you try to put in place. Balance home life with work and travel.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 18-March 20)

Money ups and downs and all arounds, you might feel like you are in yo-yo mode with your finances. Ask your closest friends to give you some ideas to help you go outside the box in order to stabilize your affairs.

You know you love to give everything you can when called into action. If you find yourself invested in a foreign cause don’t forget to share your experiences with/in your neighborhood. Perhaps a local fundraiser.

Space. We are creating space always, whether we are aware of it or not. Take time to consciously create space for yourselves this month…even if it is only the space of time required to read what your guides whisper to you in the form of a crystal reading, a horoscope or an angel reading. Each item pertains to you, whether you realize it now or not. Each week make the space to be with your Self, just for a brief time. Who are you going to create this week? What mysteries will you carve out of your space?

Being with yourself, with your higher Self and your guides, is the best way possible to bring yourself to balance and wholeness. We are with you always, but we cannot do the work for you, we can only love and hold the space for you to do the work yourself.

Lovingly, gently, give yourself time and space to be complete….

Week 1: October 1 to 4 – Tiger Iron: In the midst of confusion, reach out for grounding. Stay in the background, surveying the situation and move only when the time is right. You will know when that is! Nurture yourself, and take the time to nurture others around you. Be wary of the temptation to rescue – it serves no one and stifles your energy. There is a pattern here and this is your opportunity to let it go.

Week 2: October 5 to 11 – Hematite: Find yourself a piece of this crystal to wear or to carry with you. As the days begin to shorten your being longs to carve out a space and begin the hibernation process. Having hematite with you will satisfy that need, at least for a while. I get the sense of needing the solace of something large and dependable. Carry this stone and allow yourself to lean into its energy Give yourself space to be supported.

Week 3: October 11 to 17 – Picasso Stone: You are feeling disconnected, almost as though you are experiencing a time-warp. In the beginning of this week take the time to give thanks for all that you have, for all that you are. Give freely of yourself to those in need, providing a gift that they can be thank-full for.

Give a homeless man a ten-spot. Babysit for an exhausted young friend. Find the space where you grow from giving without expectations. By the end of the week you will find that your disconnected pieces have melded into the beauty that you are.

Week 4: October 18to 24 – Golden quartz: Bask in the warmth of multi-faceted you. This week recognize that you have depths that you have not begun to explore. Start to create the space to do that exploration. Make a date with yourself to go to a museum, an art store, a playground, a forest, a river, a lake.

Bring a notebook with you and start a list. Fill the spaces with all the unique talents you have: the ability to laugh out loud, the ability to write words on paper, the ability to think critically or to allow your thoughts to wander where they will. Be bold. Be expansive. Be-ing you…

Week 5: October 25 to 31 – Tektite: This week you will want to open up the space inside you that is able to see and experience the wonder of the other side of the veil. The fabric is thinner now than at any time in the year. Allow yourself to be conscious of the edge of your awareness, to gently notice what is going on around us. Feather-light brushing of angel’s wings, connections with those who have left (including animal friends)…now is the time to connect on a deeper level with the spirit guides that you are already in contact with, or to establish a new connection.

new Moon

October 12

The New Moon arrives on October 12, 2015. An appropriate day for it to arrive as it is Canadian Thanksgiving. As with all new moons, we are manifesting, and what better way to celebrate than by giving thanks for all that we have. By showing our gratitude for what we have, we are showing the universe we want more, please. More of the good things that make our lives fantastic!

Partnerships, ensure that you spend some time strengthening the ones that matter and manifesting better ones into your life for those that are not supportive or loving.

This month I will be doing a simple walking ritual for the new moon. I am going to be stretching slowly while I walk slowly.

I want to feel the earth’s heart beat beneath my feet and feel the tangible, vibrant energy around me. Stretching up to the sky, I will give thanks for having love in my life and will request more love in my life. Stretching my arms out to the side I will give thanks for the abundance in my life, and will request more abundance. Stretching my arms down by my side, I will give thanks for who I am, and will request that I continue to grow as a person. Bending over I will stretch to the ground and give thanks for good health and request that it continues. Upon standing upright I will wrap my arms around myself and silently give thanks for all that I have in my life – everything – and ask that the universe continues to smile upon with many blessings. I will continue my walk, enjoying nature in her glory and gratefully receive any guidance I am offered. At the end of my walk I will thank the universe, my angels, guides and spirit for blessing me so abundantly.

This new moon is in the sign of Libra, so think balance, cooperation, compromise, social activities, beautifying surroundings, and partnerships. It is a good time for us to look at our state of balance, especially around giving and receiving, and if either are lopsided, this moon could show us exactly where they are out of alignment. We might be asked to do something we are not ready to do.

I really feel this moon is going to smack us into waking up and realizing exactly what needs to change, like enough of the nice guy already. Take action; and this is where compromise might show up, it might mean that for the betterment of your life you need to truly let go of what is holding you back – even if you are crazy glued to it out of fear. The good thing about it happening during this time is you should also be shown a better way and that is what you will focus on.

The masks of illusion will be washed away and clearer sight will prevail.

Remember that manifesting anything into your life requires that you have released whatever is holding you back from having it. It is about being in alignment with your highest potential. By giving thanks for what you currently have you are letting the universe know that you are ready for so much more. However you decide to prepare for and perform your new moon manifesting do so with love and have confidence that the universe is ready to support your efforts, big and small.

Social activities, yeah! And since it is Thanksgiving up here that means it will be a social time and our surroundings are starting to be beautified with lovely reds, golds, and oranges.

We can bring that into our home with a simple centerpiece for the table.

Full Moon

October 27

The full moon of October arrives late in the month on the 27th. It is known as the Hunters Moon. Time for us to become the hunters, huntresses in our lives. I am actually feeling pretty excited about this full moon, it will be in the self-assured sign of Taurus, while the sun is in brave, ambitious Scorpio. Think long term success.

pay attention to all messages and visions you receive on the 26, 27 and 28th.

Get comfortable, relax your body, and mind with deep breaths, counting down from 10 until you are totally relaxed. If you are not relaxed when you get to zero, start at 10 and count down again.

This moon will coax us to shed the layers of our old selves. The outdated prepares to fly the coop, time to take advantage and use this energy to release old patterns. Clear out everything – have a spring clean or autumn clean. Clear anything that feels old and fearful, what you do now will carry you forward.

When you are relaxed ask your angels and guides to show you the energy around you that is darker – representing the old that needs to be swept away. Breathe in and see that dark entering you – don’t worry, you are well protected and will be breathing out light, you are going to transform it. Before you take an in breath ask “what does this represent?” then take a deep, slow breath and see the smoke entering you, pay attention to whatever you hear, feel or see. As you breathe out, see the breath leaving you as pure white, think the fluffiest cloud against a blue sky, and know that you have released the old and have made way for the new to enter. Continue taking breaths in and releasing, slowly, until all the dark smoke is gone. Now focus on drawing in big beautiful breathes through your crown chakra, breathing in the universal white light of love, and feel it go deep within your body, and flow out the souls of your feet into the earth, purifying and cleansing you so that you are ready for the new. Once you have taken 3 deep cleansing breaths, ask your angels and guides if they have a message for you, connect with them and thank them for all the guidance and love they provide you. Then slowly count your way out of your meditation from 1 to 10.

In order to release these old patterns, we need to be aware of them. To be aware of them can oftentimes be scary, and I would like to dispel that fear if I can. Think of it as a tree losing its leaves in fall, or a snake shedding its skin (which it does about 2 - 4 times a year) – nothing scary about either of those. A tree loses its leaves in the fall so that it does not have to provide nourishment for them through the winter, and so that growth can appear in spring. In spring the tree is busy reaching higher (growing), buds appear and soon the tree is full of leaves. For the tree it is about survival and growth. The snake sheds its skin because it too grows and outgrows his skin. If he never shed his skin he would not grow.

For some reason, as humans, we choose to keep preforming old patterns, we like the familiarity of doing the same, it gives us comfort. Even when it brings us, over and over, experiences we do not wish to have. WE ask for more, but keep providing the same offering and expect a different result. That is what we are going to clear out with this full moon. Why are we going to let it fly the coop?

Because we want more, and we are being given a period of time to work on long term success!

As you move forward after this, if you feel stuck or unbalanced, be the hunter and track the smoke. Once you find the source, work on allowing it to be released from your life, and don’t forget to ask your angels and guides for help.

Of course I am going to call in the Angels, and my guides – the Hunter’s moon is said to help the veil between the worlds thin, so

Essential Oils

www.nourishpublication.com

What does the word ‘gift’ mean to you? When you hear the word, or see it on paper, what images or thoughts appear? Wrapped presents under a tree or beside a birthday cake? A feeling of anticipation? The joy and delight on a loved one’s face as they see something that you have lovingly chosen or created for them?

these chakras. It will help you to reach another level in your energy work, specifically when working with your angels or spirit guides.

For a deep, relaxing bath fill your tub half full with water and then put in one drop. Lie back and soak all the stress away…

The Gift™ essential oil blend was created for just that purpose – as a gift from Mary Young to her husband Gary. It symbolized his journey to bring therapeutic grade essential oils into every household on the planet – and most especially his journey to find sacred frankincense as it was created and used in ancient times. The blend contains these seven oils, all from plants that were used in ancient times in the desert lands of the Middle East and carried from there around the world:

The holiday season is coming. Consider purchasing this blend to create welcome gifts for the people in your life.

Scented Epsom salts, candles, hand and body creams…..or just a small vial of the oil itself. It is The Gift™ that keeps on gifting….

Enjoy this special blend of oils. Diffuse it, smell it, put it on a cotton ball in your dresser drawers. Please – always remember to use only 3rd party certified therapeutic grade essential oils.

Frankincense (boswellia carteri) · Balsam Fir (abies balsamea) · Myrrh (commiphora myrrha) · Jasmine (jasminum officinale) · Cistus (cistus ladanifer) · Spikenard (nardostachys jatamansi) · Galbanum (ferual gummosa)

Vera

Each one of these single oils has powerful attributes that help to protect and heal wounds – physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. They are a powerhouse when combined in this blend.

For more information on how to acquire the highest quality oils and blends, please contact me by email at lightvera1@gmail.com or go to the website: www.youngliving.org

Take the lid off and just allow the warm scent to permeate the area where you are situated. A small amount goes a very long way – if you want to use this oil before or during meditation, either leave the lid off or put one drop on a cotton ball. Dilute just one drop in an ounce of carrier oil – something light such as organic grape seed or avocado oil. Rub it on the bottom of your feet for an end-of-day relaxant.

When you are working with clients who have trust issues, put a drop of that diluted oil on your hands prior to meeting with them. If you are gifting Reiki or any other energy healing, a drop on your hands as you begin working with them will increase energy flow. Practice on yourself first, because each person will channel at a different frequency. Trust your intuition….

Prior to meditation, place a drop on your Third Eye or your Crown chakra to assist in opening and clearing

Prepare your gathering place within your heart and soul

I was away the weekend of the 12th where the trees surround a valley. Well on a walk through the trees squirrel started chattering at me literally. Today while at the park and beach another also literally chattered to me again. I already knew the power animal this month was squirrel but with their chattering at me today their message to us this month is: “Be prepared .Preparedness is a state of mind and a state of being .Yes dear ones prepare in your world as well. However, it is more about the being prepared within and waiting for the Divine unseen to set the stage into physical manifestation. Gather your resources within you dear ones. For within the gathering the way and the path will appear. Prepare your gathering place within your heart and soul. Be patient dear ones for this does not need to be done in haste and speed. In fact slow and easy is the preferred way for in it the deeper more intimate and profound messages and meaning will emerge within and without�

Yours in the gathering place of your heart and soul The Squirrels

This month's rune cast is pretty special. It is very positive and I think, very appropriate for the times we live in. I simply asked the runes to show me what we could expect for this coming month.

The third rune drawn is Fehu. As with Uruz, it too represents power, but more calm and less raw. It is the rune of material gain. Uruz is the wild ox or auroch, whereas Fehu is the domesticated cattle and cattle were how the Northern Europeans measured a man's worth.

The first rune drawn is Mannaz. This is the rune symbolizing mankind. Because of the other runes in the cast, I see this as showing us we need to adopt a more positive and progressive attitude. We can expect help from others, possibly in the form of advice, and this advice will be totally honest and unbiased.

This is the rune of fulfillment, and what you have been striving for will finally be in your grasp.

Together, I see this cast showing that as long as we work together, we will see the fruits of our labors come to fruition.

We do need to remain modest and not toot our own horns at this time but it is a good time to implement any new plans.

I hope this short but positive and to the point rune cast helps you in the coming month and possibly longer and I thank the runes for guiding me and allowing me to have the insight to interpret their message.

The second rune is Uruz. Uruz represents wild unfettered power, good health, and a strong natural power of resistance.

Until next month, sk책l to all my brothers and sisters out there. May you find what you seek.

This rune rules over change, usually sudden or unexpected, but also natural and should not be avoided. It also shows true will, that which we truly desire. In an positive cast, that desire will come to pass.

Phil

Because this rune is paired with positive runes, it indicates good fortune and certain success, whatever the odds.

Message from the Angels October 2015

How great thou are! How GREAT thou are!

still room for improvement in others, and the best way to improve is to practice. Show that you are not afraid to be vulnerable as you hone all of your skills and show others that it is acceptable and ok to not be perfect at everything.

We come to you, each of you, with those simple words and ask that you hold them in your heart. Remind yourself often by repeating the phrase “how great thou are.” This month get to know yourself, find yourself and accept your greatness. Even the bits you don’t think are so great, really are and need to be celebrated. When others bring to you a “less than” feeling of your own worth, please don’t take them to heart. They act out of fear, the fear of not being able to control you, the fear of not having you do something, the fear of how inadequate they are. Stop comparing yourself to others, for you will always find something to fall short on. Instead, honor that you have many wonderful gifts that benefit not only you but others as well. You fear your greatness for you have seen the negative use of greatness from others who manipulate and place themselves on a pedestal so high they have over inflated values of themselves. You understand that your greatness should be used to help others, so step into your power dear ones.
