Derived from the Greek words μετά metá, meaning "beyond", "upon" or "after" and φυσικά physiká, meaning "physics". It is the ability to acknowledge things undetectable by the physical sense. Metaphysics includes many subjects within Science, Spirituality, Angels, Quantum Physics, Mysticism, Consciousness, Magick, Spirits, Law of Attraction and many more subcategories containing unexplained, undetectable dimensions within our reality and beyond. In the conscious evolution, metaphysics has taken its place as the most comprehensive and most effective means of gaining knowledge and understanding about the

F irst True Love O

ur first true Love in Life, we think about forever, we remember and we compare other Loves to it. Most of you may be recalling your first crush, your first boyfriend or girlfriend or even your spouse. It is that time of year when we notice those whom we love and who loves us. We remember past mistakes, past gifts, past hurts. We take time out of our day to play old memories, or hope for new ones. What we may be overlooking. Our first Love is Self Love.

Whether we were taught this in life or not, is not as important as what we do with this information today. We can only give freely that which we are willing and able to give to ourselves.

How do you give your Love to others? It is telling of how you give Love to yourself. Do you only give to those who give it back to you? Do you take it away when you are feeling hurt? What do you do when someone gives you Love? Do you shy away, laugh it off, or embrace it openly and happily? Take some time to write down ways in which you give and receive Love, attention, affection, and time to yourself and to others. You will begin to see patterns emerge, and this exercise will bring about new awareness on how you actually give Love to yourself.

Once you have taken some time to notice how you respond to and give Love, you will be one step closer to yourself. If you’re ready to make healthy changes to how you give and receive, it must start with how you Love yourself.

It is time to look in the mirror; time to start appreciating yourself. Every day as you start your routine you find yourself in front of the mirror and this time we are going to do something different! Instead of telling yourself what you find wrong, look and find what is right. Pick something you appreciate about yourself, it can be anything, your eye color, your hair style, your height. It matters not what it is, but that you truly Love it about yourself. Each day say to yourself "I Love (this) about me!". Give yourself a minute to really feel how much you enjoy this part of you!

Now look yourself in the eyes and add in: I Love you (your name). You don't even have to do this out loud in the beginning. If your finding it difficult start anywhere. You will notice your ability to give and receive Love will open up!

Follow up on this morning exercise with a gift to yourself of five minutes. It doesn't have to be right away, but it does need to be at least once a day. Take this time alone to breathe deep: feel the air fill your lungs and leave your lungs. Notice the air pass your lips; is it cold or warm? Is there a scent in the air? Are you breathing fast or slow? Keep your awareness on your breath. If your mind wanders, take notice, and without anger, let it pass as you refocus on your breathing. As you do this, allow your breathing to fall into a slow, natural rhythm. This form of self Love will not only be relaxing, but also has many other healthy benefits*. Showing yourself that you are worth this time every day will open you up to more Loving relationships; not only with yourself, but with others as well!

The last tip we want to share is a fun one. Start Celebrating Everything! Take time each day to celebrate little things like: green lights on the way to work, your hot cup of coffee, or the fact you found both your shoes and your keys today with ease! I know it might sound simple, and maybe a bit silly, but when we celebrate small things and take the time to appreciate something going good, the more we are able to give that gift to others when they are in need of support and Love.

What we are willing to do for ourselves we are willing to do for others. When we take the time to Love ourselves, we give ourselves permission to Love others! As we continue to show kindness, Love, affection, appreciation and gratitude we are able to gift it more freely to those around us. So take time today to show how full of Love you are for yourself, and celebrate the fact you are giving time for it!

Blessings & Love, Rebecca L. Allen

Home Spa Experience

Skin dehydration is often worse during the winter when environmental humidity is low.

The use of indoor heat, and cold, dry winds can further skin dehydration. Smoking, and drinking can compound the effects causing “winter itch”.

When are skin becomes dehydrated it loses water content, making it tight, sensitive and irritated. Even skin with pimples and clogged pores can be dehydrated. The good news is there is plenty of at home natural remedies to aid in hydrating and detoxing your skin and body! Here are few simple at home spa and detox treatments you can use with kitchen products most of us have, or are easily attainable.

Exfoliating Masks

Skin Detox Mineral Bath

Exfoliation will help shed dead skin cells, bring circulation to the surface for nourishment, and further loosen clogged pores. It also allows for deeper penetration of nutrients.

This combination draws out toxins, lowers stress hormones and balances pH levels

 1 Cup Dead Sea Salts  1 Cup Epsom Salts

Make an exfoliating paste with organic fine grain sugar (white or brown is fine) and some of the following ingredients, depending on skin condition:

 1/2 Cup Regular Sea Salt  1/2 Cup Baking Soda Add 3 drops lavender, 2 drops geranium, 2 drops of sandalwood and 1 drop of neroli oil to your Epsom salts or sea salts before putting into water. Next place oiled salts into bath water. If you do not have all these oils not to worry one or two is fine, just add a few more drops. The same goes for salts using Epsom salt alone works just as well! *Adding essential oils to the water will cause it to float on the surface, and may cause skin irritation.

Hydrating Masks  2 egg whites  2 tablespoons of plain or Greek yogurt Mix well and apply to face for 10 - 15 mins.

       

Oatmeal: for soothing irritated skin, grind oatmeal in a coffee grinder until fine.

Plain Greek yogurt: for soothing, hydrating and lactic acid exfoliation.

Honey: pulls moisture toward the skin and acts as an anti-bacterial agent for blemishes.

Egg white: tightens skin and pores, good for oily skin.

Tomato, blended: Good for blemishes and toning.

Lemon juice: brightening and toning - not for sensitive or acne prone skin.

Pineapple pulp, blended : for brightening and toning.

Canned pumpkin: for extra exfoliating acids for blemished skin.

Mask #2

 Raw Honey  Cucumber Apply Raw Honey and cover over with cucumber slices for 10 -15mins.

Picture yourself walking thru a beautiful woodland area. Waterfalls cascade over smooth pebbles, bird chirp in the background as turtles sun themselves at the river’s edges. Nature seems to be sending you a wet kiss. You bask in the sun’s rays and feel blessed to be a part of this natural scene. You can feel the love emanating and it makes you feel safe and happy. This is an example of All There Is and when you allow your heart to embrace this energy, you become part and parcel of the earth. You send out a vibration of oneness. It is as if your vibrational signature is a skein of thread being sewn/added into the web of life.

from connecting to the best part of your being and that is your higher selves: The part of you that waits to be nurtured and wants to be fed so that the your love for your self can grow stronger. As it grows in strength and size, it sends out a wonderful vibration which affects everyone and everything in it’s path in a positive way! And it all starts with one little step…

Perhaps you decided to take a walk in nature, give yourself a make-over, moisturize, call your brother, accept all of your body parts, eat some soup, love your hobbies, decide that it is okay to be a healer, a doctor, study law, eat chocolates or travel to an exotic locale. There are so many ways to show love This is self-love in a major way. For when you for one ’s self. Many are public and there are many show love for yourself, you automatically open private ways as well. yourself up to being able to share love with others.

Now you may be wondering, “What kind of love Still we caution you to not allow negative thought am I sharing…?” forms/negative self-talk to permanently stop you from loving yourselves. Negative self-talk brings on Exponentially speaking, ‘love’ expands even ‘like’ stress. Stress like other non-beneficial thought forms, expands. When you pamper yourself in little ways, if not dealt with in a constructive manner can attach when you give in to doing things that you love itself onto the human body like throat choking without allowing negative self-talk to take over, you armor. The more you allow it to surround you, the allow your inner being to fill up like water in a vase harder it becomes to make positive choices for till it starts to grow flowers and blossom. Self love yourselves. Thoughts are things and can be can lead to more acceptance of self, more joy in measured. Negative thoughts stay closer to the one’s life and eventually in the lives of the people body. They may enter your limbs and can cause around you. What flowers are growing within physical problems. Remember to be compassionate yourselves that need to be nurtured? Peonies, for it can be hard at times, to love yourself as you larkspur, roses, jack-in-the-pulpit, self heal, so many love a sunset, nature, friends and other family varieties to be and to grow. members. But it will get easier the more you try. It is worth one-hundred times over any efforts that Down, down, down to earth we go. In the snap of you put into learning how to care for, nurture your the fingertips we are here! A heartbeat away from dreams and to show unconditional love for your hearts… A smile away from your mouths… yourselves.

Our senses so intertwined that we are one. Yet, many of you have let non-beneficial talk stop you www.southshoreandcapecodmetaphysics.com/

Remember to love others as you love yourselves.

Give in every now and then to pampering one’s self… For when you pamper yourself, whether it be spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally or psychically; you are giving a healing to not only your heart but to the hearts of those who surround you.

(Yes, when you give a healing/a pampering on a soul level, you get some healing/pampering energetically in return.)

Self Love can happen on a large scale or on a small scale. Whatever you feel comfortable and safe in doing is what is important at the time. And if you happen to be an observer to someone who is new at giving themselves self-love, please applaud their efforts. For in doing so you help spread passion, caring, happiness and yes, self love, both for your friend and for others of their ilk.

Let it flow from your fingertips, from your eyes, ears and hair. Self Love means taking care of yourselves

both outwardly and inwardly. To shampoo one’s body, to cleanse one’s clothing and to allow yourselves the freedom to be who you are without letting worries of how other people may perceive you to take precedence over your lives.

As long as what you choose to do radiates outwardly, in big or small ways, you may be expressing self love. Remember that the more you do it, the larger one’s core/heart energies become.

As it grows exponentially, it hooks into the energies of those around it and you begin to feel more confident of who you are and why you/we are all here on this earth.

We are all healers. Let no one think otherwise.

You give of your energies on a daily basis. Lastly, by loving one’s self, you allow the natural healer within to move these stressors out so that you may again feel connected into the web of life.

~ A Note from Maryfaith:

This morning, I had just gotten off of the #39 bus which dropped me in front of the Forest Hills T Station on the Orange Line and wanted to pick up a free newspaper from the Metro box. I waited while the guy ahead of me reached into the box to grab his own paper. In a surprise move, he turned with a smile and gave me a paper before taking his own. I felt his smile radiate through my whole being. In this one small gesture, he demonstrated self love and chose to share a piece of that love with me.

Such a tiny imprint physically yet vibrationally my connection with him grew in leaps and bounds. I felt happier. I then smiled at him and my neighbors on the subway. I started singing to myself as I exited the train at my stop and felt ready to face another day at work. Self love is the gift that keeps on giving. For if you nurture yourself-you end up nurturing others.

Simply Simply the the Light Light Source Source As most of you have probably already experienced, 2013 has yielded some very fast moving energy streams. So, it's with great pleasure, I would like to share a quote that came out of consciousness to me last week. One I feel embodies how we can better allow the fast moving energy of today.

You feel the depth of your creation, of your worthiness within it and you let yourself vibrate to the universe, as such.

New Moon in Aquarius: February 10, 2013 2:22am Full Moon in Virgo: February 25, 2013 3:28 pm

I am that I am, the Mahatma in love.

Namaste

Last month we discussed setting new goals and plans for strong foundations, followed up with the action of building them. The first nine days of February is the last part of the Capricorn-Leo moon cycle. That Leo full moon on January 26th may have kicked off a new start for you, or it could have been a very explosive ending/new beginning for you. It called for setting new goals, and putting those ideas into action. Did you take any risks that seriously paid off? The Capricorn-Leo cycle in January reminded us that there is no time like the present to start building the life you always wanted to have.

It may have felt like a whirlwind, but didn’t you accomplish a lot? Keep up the good work with the plans you’re continuing, and it’s ok if you still haven’t gotten to the other ones, or still don’t know yet what they are. It is all unfolding as it should. The new moon in Aquarius will add a new dimension to the plans you have, or it may change your perspective to incorporate even more creative ideas. The fixed, air sign of Aquarius, the water-bearer, is more logical than emotional. This will help you see past the emotional nature of the Leo full moon that just occurred. Aquarius nature pushes the water (emotions) out of things. Cool, calm and collected… so, again, with this influence you will be driven by logic, not emotions. Problem solving will be at its best, as it will be easy to think outside the box to come to a positive solution. This does not mean that you’ll be an emotionless, robot…Aquarius tends to be very sympathetic, actually; what it means is that you won’t be clouded by your emotions when it comes to making decisions.

The new moon in Aquarius brings in humanitarian qualities and social change. This moon brings out the dreamer in everyone. It will bring in different, creative ideas for helping people on a larger scale, such as global changes. Not only does Aquarius bring out the humanitarian, but also the liberal; it brings out qualities of open-mindedness and tolerance that we all possess. Maybe you’ll be a little more patient with those whom you’ve, in the past, been short with, or maybe this will help you open your awareness to global social changes that are happening.

There is a lot going on in the rest of the world that we, as Americans, may be closed off to. Often times, we don’t see the poverty, and tragedy that has struck others on this planet or even our own country; we close ourselves off to it; in our own little world. This new moon will help us remember that we are all connected, and when one part suffers we all suffer. When one part heals, we all heal. When one part loves, we all feel loved. We are all part of the same whole; Aquarius will help us feel this connection again, because even though it is a moon of self-reliance and individualism, it is also one of humanitarianism and one to bring out the dreamer of social justice, and connectedness that we all must remember.

You may feel your streak of independence shine through even more, as well, this month as Aquarian nature tends to be unique, a bit more solitary and very self-reliant. It also brings out your need to be set apart from the rest… you are an individual, and should recognize how exceptional you are. For this reason you may want to go against the grain a bit this month, but no so much as to throw off the balance. Do not be fooled…even though your independence is at an all time high, and you

are enjoying your alone time…you’re friends are of major importance during an Aquarian moon. You may come to the conclusion that even though you have times of being physically alone, and perhaps even mentally alone, you are never truly

may even spark an entire restructure of your space.

This full moon will definitely show you how organized you are or are not…either way, attention will definitely be brought to how much you are making of your time, and what needs organization.

alone, and your friends are often there at the right moments to love and support you.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, and often brings surprises and the unexpected. This also brings out the adventurous nature in us all, and can be a lot of fun. Expect the unexpected… Things that you have been waiting for may come to you in different forms, or perhaps from avenues you hadn’t thought possible.

These positive changes will open your mind to new possibilities and will broaden your awareness. Being open is the key to being able to accept gifts and unconditional love from others. Affirm that you are open with this new moon… Open to receiving unconditional love and universal gifts. Even though February is traditionally associated with Valentine’s Day, and true love; this year make it about being open to giving and receiving unconditional love from all sources. You will, not only feel more connected, but also more at peace. In addition to broadening awareness and giving you a unique perspective, Uranus also enhances any kind of work with technology, science or community service. You may find yourself being thrown into a whirlwind of something new involving any of these, and bringing in new levels of understanding you never thought possible!

All kinds of unconventional ideas will be flowing, and your head may be spinning with many different thoughts and ideas. Be creative, and you may be able to put many of these

ideas into action with the Virgo full moon. This full moon will help you organize and plan your ideas. Virgo is a mutable, earth moon that brings out the nurturer in you. Mutable is one of three astrological qualities; it is one that is adaptable, and always changing. This adds a good, flexible aspect for starting new projects and with Virgo aiding in creating organized plans, this mutable quality will make it easy to adjust to changes quickly.

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of thought, communication and mental abilities. This will help you organize all those ideas you’ve been brewing. All those at home projects that you’ve been putting off will somehow find their way to the top of your to-do list, and for some reason your ability to organize and throw away the things you no longer use is easier.

Virgo can help you re-organize your entire living area, even the closets. It is the most efficient of all the signs, so if you needed a little boost in making your days run a little more efficiently, Virgo will help. Earth moons always bring about tangible results as well, so expect results with whatever you decide to accomplish. Virgo will probably get you geared up to reorganize those areas in your house that have become clutter-zones. It

What a lovely Aquarius-Virgo cycle we have this month, especially after that fiery full moon in Leo last month. All that fire and passion…quickly cooled and opened by the Aquarian aspect, and then nurtured with the Virgo side…the Universe truly has a wonderful way of creating the perfect balance of cycles.

The Aquarian-Virgo cycle will bring new, unexpected changes, followed up by your ability to think, plan and create solutions, especially in your everyday life. The Aquarian piece opens your awareness, and your heart, while the Virgo piece declutters and restructures.

Simplify and it will become clear, and as I said earlier, with this Aquarian new moon and Valentine’s Day falling so close together, open your heart to unconditional love from all avenues, and do not be afraid to share your love and self with the world. We are all connected, and we all feel this love when we are open to it.

I am that I am, the Mahatma in love.

Namaste, Johanna Delaney

An Exercise in Soul Retrieval Fill a glass of water and hold it with both hands.

Place your attention on this glass and say, “Everything I have taken from others, I place back in this water”. Repeat this phrase three times. Take this glass of water outside and pour it on the Earth, knowing that we are all connected by this Earth and all can return through the Earth.

Go inside and refill your glass, holding it with both hands again, place your attention on the water.

Now repeat three times, “Everything that has been taken from my soul I now reclaim”. Enjoy drinking your glass of water!

Infrared heat is very gentle. The experience is similar to lying in the sun on a warm day and feeling the heat radiate to the core of your body. Unlike traditional (hot rock or steam) saunas-which operate at well in excess of 200°F--infrared heat has the benefit of being effective at a more comfortable operating temperature of 100°-150°F.

Far Infrared Therapy

Traditional saunas heat the air vs. the body directly which can make the experience unbearably hot and difficult to breathe. Because infrared heat penetrates human tissue vs. simply heating the surface of the skin, infrared saunas are seven times more effective than traditional saunas at detoxifying the body. By raising the body's core temperature, infrared saunas can produce a sweat composed of 20% toxins vs. only 3% toxins with a traditional sauna.

Infrared Sauna Health Benefits

Infrared saunas are an effective tool for natural healing and prevention. Infrared light has the ability to penetrate human tissue which in turn produces a host of anti-aging health benefits making infrared saunas one of the “hottest” therapies for overall healthier living. If you want to get yourself back into balance, an infrared sauna may be the ticket to achieving your wellness goals.



Anti-Aging & Skin Purification The near infrared wavelength (sometimes referred to as Red Light Therapy) is the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin.

Near infrared treatments stimulate collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone.



Sitting Zen

B

rown wood floor, brown porch, porch railing, gray ice on pond, yellow building, grey sky.

That is winter kyol che at Kwan Um School of Zen Monastery. It would seem like anything else going on is, as Zen Master Bon Haeng once said, entertainment.

I entered Saturday at 8:00am January 12th. The week preceding I dreaded even thinking about sitting Zen for 7 full days and yet I also felt it would be a most beneficial experience.

The most I had sat was 4 days a couple years ago. I remember it was hellish for the first two to two and half days. My body ached in places I didn’t know could feel pain. My knees were numb and my back felt like someone was gouging me with a screwdriver and we won’t even go into what my mind was running after.

After the first two days, however, things settled down. I became comfortable in my body and my mind finally accepted the stillness. It was a summer Kyol Che and my daily job was to sweep and wash the porch, which wraps around the monastery. If I had time I would also weed the rock garden just in front to the side of the building. I remembered looking forward to the work period because it wasn’t sitting. Sitting = pain and working meant I got to use, stretch my body and focus my mind on a task.

That was a couple years ago and I’m older now and the body is stiffer, less pliant and that goes for my mind as well. It’s said that it’s best to begin this practice when you’re young because everything is loose and can more easily handle change and the rigors of sitting Zen. When you’re older everything is stiff and stuck both physically and mentally. I think this is true, but I wouldn’t know about practicing while young because I began practicing when I was 54, already on the downward side of the slippery slope. Yes, I know, change my thinking! So, I signed up for a week of Kyol Che and had mixed emotions. I counted down the days. I fretted over the intense sitting I was going to be doing. Could my body handle it? I wondered what my job would be. I worried about formal eating the way it feels like there’s a race to finish. It seems like everyone is gulping almost without chewing.

Would I take too much food or not enough food?

Five days until I begin. Then it was 3 days, I better do some intense yoga to loosen things up.

Thursday marked two days and finally Friday evening. I’d be leaving for Providence Zen the next morning, Saturday.

And it begins… Just do it The first three days went by relatively easy! I was surprised. I was able to control my aching back with yoga during each ten minute walking period. I would slip into my room and fold a pillow under my back as I lay on the floor with arms outstretched and head hanging towards the floor. Then a little twisting each side, plow pose, put my robe back on and head for the dharma room for the next session.

Over the days I had developed a searing pain in the middle of my back, which again felt like someone stabbing me with a screwdriver and twisting it deeper. I fidgeted, I sat taller, rounded my back, cocked my head this way and that, took the Zen sword hit when the HDT came around, but this nagging pain persisted no matter what I did. It was becoming a problem, my sole focus.

This pain, this pain, this pain….how can I get rid of it?

I have to get rid of it!

On Wednesday, 5 days into the retreat, during the afternoon sitting I was struggling with my pain and it dawned on me that I wasn’t going to get rid of this thing. Nothing was working to relieve it. I sat looking out over the pond and the idea came to me to go into the pain, lean into it, stop trying to run from it. I remember reading somewhere that pains in the front of your body are worries about the future and pains in your back body are past problems surfacing.

Perhaps? I don’t know about that but I closed my eyes to focus on this pain. What is this? When I closed my eyes I came face to face with an orange pulsing light in my minds eye. I thought back to a time when I might have experienced sharp pain in my back. I came up with a memory of scurrying under a barbed-wired fence when I was a kid and having a barb stick in my back. I came up with being hit in the back with a baseball while playing backyard ball. I looked back www.southshoreandcapecodmetaphysics.com/

into my memory banks for an earlier time. Nothing.

Still hot searing pain and the orange light pulsing in my mind. I looked into this orange light, focused on it and the middle of the light parted to create a circle of hazy orange. Within the haze an orange winged form appeared in the middle of the circle. It seemed to be in the form of a beast or dragon with teeth.

The hazy circle was beginning to close, but I forced my will on it to keep it open. This beast with teeth was trying to close the circle and keep me out. I forced and fought to keep the circle open and suddenly I was pulsing orange bursts of light at this beast. I fired a burst to its body, a burst to the head of it, a burst again to the body of whatever this was.

The hazy circle was all the while squeezing and trying to shut me out. It was strong. I started yelling at this beast; “You will not shut me out!” yelling at the top of my lungs, “You will not …. NO, NO.” I’m screaming with everything I have in my lungs and bursting pulses at this thing to kill it. All the while the pain is fired molten steel in my back. I fire off one final burst with an ear splitting scream; I simultaneously hear a clap of the chugpi behind Continued on Page 22...

me and the beast fades and the pain also fades.

Gone. I open my eyes and wonder if I had been screaming out loud. It felt like I was screaming enough to be heard across the pond, but everyone is calmly getting up from their cushion for walking meditation and no one is looking at me.

I also stand exhausted from the battle. I head to my room and begin laughing hysterically downstairs in my room. I think, now that’s some serious entertainment. I had just invented a video game in my head, with sound effects, neat colors and a flying dragon to defeat. However, the pain in my back is significantly lighter, almost gone.

I assume there’s a Zen teaching that encompasses this experience. My thought is that it would probably be about this world of opposites. If I have great pain, then there is great joy. If I run, hide and avoid great pain, then maybe I’m also avoiding it’s opposite, great joy.

If I can face the demons of pain head on and really feel its teeth sinking into my flesh, really feel the heat searing my skin, really feel it, then great joy can also be experienced fully. Life as it is.

I’m not a Zen Master, nor do I pretend to understand all the 84,000 teachings of the Buddha.

“Just like this, is Buddha” Sitting on my cushion with this view in front of me; brown wood floor, brown porch, porch railing, gray ice on pond, yellow www.southshoreandcapecodmetaphysics.com/

building and grey sky. The sounds were: ticking of the heat register, and my own breath in and out. My feeling was: butt on cushion, hands cupped with thumbs touching, searing pain in back.. Only that… only that. When I add something extra to what is happening, that something extra makes suffering. If I say, “Oh, the sky is grey, but it would be so much better if it were a sunny day.” I just made sky suffering. If I say, “Ouch my back, it would be easier and nicer if my back felt loose and nice.” I make back suffering.

All of my life I tried to make things more or less than what is happening right now.

I think I made my dragon story in my mind so I could face the intense back pain; that story, although interesting and fun that may have served a purpose, was an extra mind game.

Not necessary.

I walked from that week knowing I had cleaned those bathrooms as best I could during work period. I chanted when we chanted, I bowed when we bowed and sat meditation when it was time. I gobbled down food as fast I could during meals and I faced every demon that arose head on. That was my joy and my pain.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back

by Todd Burpo, Lynn Vincent (Contributor) "A beautifully written glimpse into heaven that will encourage those who doubt and thrill those who believe."

Recommended Books and Movies

"Do you remember the hospital, Colton?"

Sonja said. "Yes, mommy, I remember," he said. "That's where the angels sang to me."

When Colton Burpo made it through an emergency appendectomy, his family was overjoyed at his miraculous survival. What they weren't expecting, though, was the story that emerged in the months that followed--a story as beautiful as it was extraordinary, detailing their little boy's trip to heaven and back.

Who Moved My Cheese?

Colton, not yet four years old, told his parents he left his body during the surgery-and authenticated that claim by describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. He talked of visiting heaven and relayed stories told to him by people he met there whom he had never met in life, sharing events that happened even before he was born. He also astonished his parents with descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read.

Written by Spencer Johnson, coauthor of The One Minute Manager.

"Heaven Is for Real" will forever change the way you think of eternity, offering the chance to see, and believe, like a child.

The Secret Life of Plants 1979 Documentary "A fascinating account of the physical, emotional, and spiritual relations between plants and humans, and there interactions".

This enlightening and amusing story illustrates the vital importance of being able to deal with unexpected change.

Who Moved My Cheese? is often distributed by managers to employees as a motivational tool, but the lessons it teaches can benefit literally anyone, young or old, rich or poor, looking for less stress and more success in every aspect of work and life.

Tom a gifted psychic and medium with over 12 years experience.

Nancy a noted astrologer and psychic with over 14 years experience.

Together they are Cienna Moon.

It’s HE SAID / SHE SAID where the advice is always free and the answers “divine”.

with

Our First question is from J. They ask, “ I just moved in with my fiancé's mother.

Financially, it is the right move for us.

We have a separate living area, but is this going to prove to be more of a strain than a benefit? (Virgo)

Tom and Nancy Foley

SHE SAID:

HE SAID:

There will be a strain evidenced by the chart cast for the date of your question. On that day Moon was opposing Uranus which is an indicator of emotional anxiety brought on by relationships, maybe even a sense of displacement or homelessness. I feel that you are willing to make this work, both you and your fiancé are practical signs. However there will be strain as your Mother-in-law will feel a bit invasive to you, your signs are natural combatants in a way. At times you will seem too picky to her and she will seem too direct and out spoken. These are natural traits of these signs and mostly likely experienced in daily exposure. I suspect your fiancé will be better at dealing with his Mother so as long as the two of you can agree on things you are good to go. See what the following two dates mean for you around this issue. One is 3/8/13 this could be a time where hidden issues start to surface. The other is 6/14/13 this could be a time where you discuss moving or rethinking your living arrangements. Good luck!

Okay first I see what looks like a salt mash area and I'm elevated up so I'm looking down at a birds eye view. I look around and I see where the river is twisting around and the tides ebbing and flowing in the distance. Then as I look back to where I am the scene begins to change, as the color blends together I see a Cancer/ Yin-Yang signal appear in the middle. In the next scene of you and your future Mother-in-law it has one sitting and the other standing, holding in a nurturing or consoling pose, it then switches roles reversed and then back again. I feel there is some health or deeper emotional issues that are either in play or on the way for all involved and it seems you are in this scenario to help nurture and be nurtured as well.

Your Fiancé is not playing a role in what I've seen which could mean that he's not ready to make certain changes yet (Caps can be stubborn till they're ready to make a move then watch out) It does feel more like a mother daughter energy needing to take place first.

You will be tested in many ways and you will need to know what to let go of and what to hold on to. The fiery Sag energy can really be a tempering experience for you but I feel the timing is right for everyone in this endeavor to learn and grow. Watch for how the dynamics work between everyone there is much to learn.

Second question comes from Denise, “ I am thinking about relocating from where I presently live. Any thoughts about when would be a good time to move�??

HE SAID:

The first thing I sense is a glowing shape that looks like a lower-case g being pulled up and un-rooted, The scene is in a twilight, semi-dark setting and not everything is visible as your eyes adjust to it. First it seems stuck then as it gets pulled a little more it slides out easily. As you look at what comes away it has a coiled shape and movement to it. You seemed surprised at the depth and size it had grown to.

The next thing I see is a child carefully putting their toys and precious things in an old wooden toy box. The feeling here is there are things going on that you aren't completely aware of yet as if someone else is making plans for you and you're not sure how you feel about it.

I wonder if there is a child involved in this or is it your childlike side. Lots of careful consideration is happening but there will always be something that come up.

SHE SAID:

Casting a chart for the time of this question I get the sense your optimum time to move would be after Jupiter changes signs on 6/25/13 and Mercury goes direct 7/20/13.

If you would like to research this matter further we do offer some astrological guidance on best location for you based on your chart. Feel free to contact us if we can be of further assistance!

Good luck.

Around the timing it feels more Spring Summer and I keep hearing April.

Guide by my side

Growing up spiritually was, at times, complex, yet it was an experience I would never exchange; I was blessed to have met my personal spiritual guide when all felt lost to me. My guide taught me to love myself, and who I was to become. She shielded the world’s darkness, only showing the light. These teachings made me one of the lucky ones growing up.

I wasn't your average child, a freak accident made me different. I had no site to my left eye, and my right eye was covered with a patch to make the left one stronger. Truth is, the doctors didn't know what they were doing, and I was their form of research. In order to shield my parents from the pain, I would go outside, and get lost between the lush gardens they displayed. I had many friends out there; one, specifically, shines through to this very day. I am grateful for still having this unique guide by my side.

When you’re a child who is called "weird" because your world is different from your class mates', its tough. To get to say that I knew a great spiritual guide who held me through all of the hard times...

Well, that goes down like chocolate cake. When you’re called "the four eye pirate," among many other names, one needs to find the light within. How we find that light is not as easy as we’d hope; looking for our spiritual guides whose frequencies are higher than our human ones, is always a treat in disguise.

Teasing had brought me home, day after sad day, in tears; my mother had had all she could take. She decided I needed a year off. How she did this, I have no idea, but home-school was great. A sweet lady gave me lessons (truthfully I didn't learn much I would repeat the 1st grade). I am a great believer that the universe has a plan for us especially when things don’t turn right side up. What I learned that year at home was far more powerful than any school could ever teach, not even Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry. I had hands on teachings from the mystics, and it showed. Esmeralda, my spiritual guide, showed me basic healing with herbs, flowers, waters, and oils all when I was eight years old. Our talks lasted hours into weeks and the stories of how the fairies are

all around make you think before even stepping on your lawns (even though we can’t hurt them).

To this day, I glow with that knowledge. All I have to do is tap into that frequency, and the universe provides great answers. The first days at home were lonely since I couldn't see much; cartoons were a joke, and I know it hurt my mother to see me try to watch the blurry colors. My dad, who has always been great, bought me to the playground with swings and a small slide. I was hooked, couldn't wait for every day to come. My spirit guide enjoyed watching me play. As I learned to love life again, and to see optimism within a child's face, well, that’s true beauty. How do you learn to love yourself when the world sees you as ugly? This was a fact they had spoken to me day after day: that I was ugly. I think, now, they were afraid of what I was going through; the easy way to deal with my differences was to not have to deal with me. Even after many years, I never could see those class mates as friends, especially when I grew out of my ugly phase and into a beautiful creature of God. You see, when you love yourself, it doesn't matter what others think or say. Yes, words hurt very much; I feel words sometimes hurt more than stones, yet it’s how we shield ourselves from them that gets us through the cloudy grey days. Today, when I wake up in the morning I say to myself “I am” beautiful. Deep within I know this to be true. It emanates through every cell in my body therefore “I am” beautiful; that is all that matters.

When I went back to school I was proud of my teachers, both my home-school teacher and Esmeralda.

At ten I made love spells, and had visions of what was to come, healed scars, wiped away sadness, spoke to past loved ones, and asked Esmeralda whatever my classmates wanted to know. She loved the interaction, and I loved the friendships, though no one else was allowed to see her. I spoke of her intensely; my parents thought she was an imaginary friend, or that I loved to play outside, they were half right. I truly enjoyed every waking and nightly visitation with this mystical creature some only read about in books. I plan to write a book dedicated to Esmeralda and the entire spiritual realm of children in the world, both young and old that grow up differently. My spiritual guide waited for www.southshoreandcapecodmetaphysics.com/

me each day, evening, and night to go outside where we danced, and played. She was a great teacher of love, integrity and one who stood by her beliefs. Her lessons emanate through me even more today. In the year we spent talking among the hibiscus and butterflies, my soul was encouraged to swell with a penetrating core of love; learning this lesson took my story to new levels of teaching others these universal laws, and showing them how to put them in motion within your own boundaries. Growing up spiritually is a great-ness no one can touch, and being able to speak my story with truth, in hope of helping others to see themselves in the image of their divinity, that is universal love.

Namaste, Daisy Fabelo A note from Daisy ,

The butterfly is a creature of true spirit, the changes this small yet miraculous beauty undergoes each lifetime is truly something to marvel. She comes but a caterpillar most see as icky, then shields herself within a cocoon (deep meditative state of change), only to become the most captivating of the divine’s creations. Turn your pages in your life and see yourself from caterpillar to cocoon to butterfly. This unfolding metaphor can really reveal what’s written under our differences especially when we are born in true spirit and with gifts not everyone understands.

Daisy Fabelo is an online spiritual advisor (psychic), and author of “The work from Home Muse”. If you are growing up

spiritually and find yourself in need of some advice from your angels and guides feel the freedom to ask any and as many questions you may have. I will personally ask your angels and guides in my sacred place outside within my sacred gardens where I still engage in spiritual guidance from my guides. You will receive a thorough inspirational message. Also ask me questions as I continue to reveal my growing up spiritually piece by piece each month in this inspirational magazine!

Matters of the Heart When it comes to matters of the heart, most of us instantly think of our relationships, our marriage, family and health, but rarely does one think about self love. Self love always seems to take the back burner for many individuals.

This can be a sad truth for some, and yet "self love" is the "one love" that is most important. Without it we are unable to fully experience true love and compassion. We find we are lost inside and have difficulty finding and focusing on happiness despite what might be right there waiting for us. Now we all have our ups and downs just like everyone else, and, in truth, many of us are not in a state of "Loving the Self" all the time.

Some days we are feeling great while other days we are feeling not so great.

Art by:

Reverend If we learn to shift our awareness on Jodi St Onge something more positive, this change will help to aid you in changing your thought pattern or mood. It's important to allow yourself to feel whatever emotion you are experiencing; honoring them. Love and accept these feelings, and work on transforming them instead. While trying to change your attention to something more positive, it's important to stop all behaviors and thoughts that would be considered self-sabotaging. No name calling on yourself. No Acts of Self Hate. You must stop beating yourself up emotionally if you are wanting to shift your perspective. Just start by accepting yourself for who you are. That opening allows you to experience more love, more peace, more bliss. Remember to not judge yourself through any of this process. Like everyone, you are going to have good days and bad days.

By choosing to change your perspective and work on your self esteem, you are starting the healing process, and laying down a new foundation for wellness and transformation.

Establishing Your Self Worth Since much of our feelings about our selves and how we receive love reflects on how much "Self Worth" we carry, it's important to first begin by establishing where you are, as far as "loving the self" is concerned. For most individuals, our self worth was created many years ago when we were a child.

Whatever you had experienced may be a direct link to how you feel about yourself today. With that being said, that may indicate that additional work may be required to help move through the many layers of the self in order to fully heal. Just go with the flow, and give yourself permission to move through this process at your own pace, with ease and grace. The following is a list of some suggestions to help activate self love within yourself. www.southshoreandcapecodmetaphysics.com/

Mirror , Mirror To test your Self Esteem, try testing yourself with a Mirror. Mirrors are great because they force us to look at ourselves, and get right in our own face. So take a moment to stand in front of the mirror.

Look deeply into your eyes. Take three deep breaths. Breathing in slowly and deeply; allow your mind and body to relax. Pay attention to your feelings, your body and what it's telling you. Tell yourself that you love yourself OUT LOUD. When stating you love yourself, how does it make feel when you say it? What you are experiencing will give you insight to your inner most feelings about yourself. Take a moment to sit, and recognize all the feelings you are having; write those experiences down in a journal. Once you have established how you are feeling, take notice to any thoughts that are self-sabotaging or negative. Ask yourself questions, are you ready to feel good? Are you ready to surrender and start the healing process because you deserve it?

Self Love Activation So what do you do, if you discover that you have a low self-worth? The following is a list of recommended techniques meant to help activate self healing and love.    

Call upon your higher self to step in, and help to activate love and healing Take time daily to point out all your amazing qualities Call upon your guardian angels and guides to help aid you Create positive affirmations on all of the things you dislike about yourself, and say them daily

Each day take an affirmation, and read it to yourself several times a day. The more you read your affirmation the faster it begins to take affect.

The repetition helps to embed the thought process into the sub-conscious mind, and begins to change the negative thought pattern or behavior. In time you will begin to feel the benefits of using positive affirmations. Continue to write in your journal daily about your experiences and feelings. When writing about your day, try to focus on the positive things, even if you only experienced one positive thing that day. As you write down your positive experiences, you will start to recognize more positive experiences every day. This causes a ripple effect, and eventually you begin to notice more of the positive things in life.

Practice these techniques daily for several weeks for optimal results. No one should feel that they have to go on feeling badly and suffering. There is always someone willing to help. If you are in need, reach out. I always recommend seeing your doctor, and going over all options with your doctor or a medical professional to ensure optimal wellness. The above techniques work great when combined with all forms of alternative healing and traditional medicine. One should never go against your doctors recommendations, and should look at this form of wellness as an added tool to help you achieve all that you need to feel good.

Be Well and In Love, Adonai The Blue Angel

To help you get started here is a list of some affirmations you can add to your Love Journal.  "I am worthy to receive love."  "I am loved, loving and beloved."  "I am at peace with myself."  "I have a beautiful body, and love taking care of it."  "I love and approve of my self and my choices"  "I choose to let go of past hurts that no longer serve and surrender to my higher power to activate love within my being" www.southshoreandcapecodmetaphysics.com/

Aries: This month should bring you a chance to flex your muscle as you prepare to get the job done and fight for progress. You are a little anxious around what the future holds for you and your personal place in the group; outsider/insider is the theme. You are willing to speak up on behalf of others, just make sure you have taken time to consider what you are about to say. Once it’s out of your mouth it’s too late to reconsider your approach.

Taurus: Aren’t you the popular one this month! Maybe it’s because you like to keep things calm and comfortable! However, values or talents in career may need to be updated to reflect the changing times. How do you maintain your status when everything is in a state of flux? Try calling upon your established contacts to intercede on your behalf. You have many people who are willing to be your personal references based upon your good reputation.

Gemini: This is as good as it gets until April so use it or lose it. A good time for long distance travel, contacting distant friends or kinfolks and greater educational opportunities, as optimism propels your sense of adventure. Good fortune favors your plans this month. Just remember to ease up on judging others as you encounter them along the way.

Cancer: Now is the time when irreversible shifts in the family and your collective past could take place.

Before you air those old family secrets once again double check your memory. Are you sure that is the truth or just what you remember? Greater insight into others and a sense of prophecy are yours if you can relinquish the old emotional pain. Take that shamanic journey into the darkness and release the memories of the past. You can also help heal others in this same way.

Leo: You radiate love, confidence and strength in your relationships this month. Who doesn’t want to be connected to you? That is as long as you are happy. If things aren’t going your way expect issues around dominion or domination to appear in relationships. Love, trust, and hero worship are this month’s themes.

Virgo: If you can open your mind to what is going on around you now you will see how useful you can be.

If anxiety grabs hold expect some tension around health, work or transferring duties. Now is the time to determine the next step in your career or life responsibilities. To be part of the future you must have a workable plan and use your business acumen.

Libra: As you assess your values, relationships around you mirror your approval ratings. This is the time of year when optimistic starts in love affairs or creative pursuits are based on self- confidence and selfapproval. If you can’t love yourself, how can anyone else? Others may seek your advice or look for your guidance in creative matters.

Scorpio: You may feel yourself chained to the past. If you can’t resolve old family wounds, or deep emotional issues you will never be free. Don’t sow seeds of the bitter fruit. Good time to let go of the feeling of being unloved or unwanted. You can make your own safe harbor if you can relinquish the old ways and alter your lifestyle based on what you are willing to contribute now, it’s time acknowledge the part you will play in the future and the influence you hold on your own inner security. Self-abandonment would be your downfall.

Sagittarius: Beware of blowing things out of proportion as you expand your community outreach this month. It’s time to forgive and forget don’t judge others as much as you once did. Yes, you have much to share but even more important you still have much to learn. So watch how you approach things and allow other’s to share their knowledge. You gain more ground as the scholar than the know it all.

Capricorn: This is the month to focus on your self-worth and see where your ambitions can pay off. Act as the authority and take charge but don’t sacrifice yourself for a little security. You are more than just a paycheck. Explore what poverty consciousness means to you and you will fare better financially. Your talents have lasting value and as such deserve the best platform to showcase them in. It may take time to find that right fit but if you don’t let fear stand in your way you will find your place in the world; your true calling.

Aquarius: Now your spirit can set you free to wander in your own way. You are not lost but carving out a new path for others to follow in the future. This month you consider how far to take things; the next step in your personal revolution. You are restless to be free and do things in your own way. In your unwillingness to be tamed don’t trample on the rights and privileges of others. Honor your agreements and show that you can be counted on when needed as this is how you build trust in your relationships.

Pisces: You are in the flow and not able to express yourself in words. Allow the images to do the talking now. Go on retreat, rely on inner faith, and allow for spiritual healing this month. You can work through Real estate matters and your roots from behind the scenes. Visualize what is needed and call it in from the higher dimension. Family could be expanding over the next several months. Prepare to make room in your home and in your life for any newcomers. Good time to listen to the spirits of those who have gone before for wisdom and guidance.

As I Began to Love Myself

by Charlie Chaplin As I began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth.

Today, I know, this is “AUTHENTICITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody As I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call it “RESPECT”.

As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow.

Today I call it “MATURITY”.

As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm.

Today I call it “SELF-CONFIDENCE”.

As I began to love myself I quit steeling my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future.

Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call it “SIMPLICITY”.

As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health – food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is “LOVE OF ONESELF”.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is “MODESTY”.

As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worry about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where EVERYTHING is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it “FULFILLMENT”.

As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But As I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection “WISDOM OF THE HEART”.

We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing new worlds are born. Today I know THAT IS “LIFE”! www.southshoreandcapecodmetaphysics.com/
