☆♥☆2014 Epiphany and a Burning Bowl☆♥☆

The 12th day after Christmas, January 6th, is the day of Epiphany. This year, Epiphany occurs 5 days after the January 1st, New Year  Crisis New Moon at 10 Capricorn 57' (11 degrees).  A New Moon is the dark of the Moon, it cannot yet be seen in the sky.  It is a time to rest, wait, ruminate, and visualize that which you desire to materialize in the future, on a Full Moon. 

This Epiphany chart contains 4 planets in Capricorn: Pluto, Sun, Mercury and a retrograde Venus with Mercury out-of-bounds (OOB).  Mars in Venus-ruled Libra squares the Sun and opposes Uranus in Aries, offering a lot of Cardinal energy. Cardinal energy is action oriented, self directed, perhaps haphazard at times, making mundane news headlines on a daily basis.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An epiphany is a realization, an "aha" moment or an inner sense of illumination of a thing or feeling that was not previously felt or known. It is the comprehension of the essence of a thing, as in a discovery.  In some cultures it is a time for baking of the King’s cake. It is a celebration for The Three Kings or Three Wise Men's visit to baby Jesus. According to an old legend based on a Bible story, these three Kings saw, on the night when Christ was born, a bright star✯, and followed it to Bethlehem. There the Christ-child was discovered and he was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Epiphany is a time of ritual and celebration. One such ritual is a Burning Bowl Ceremony, also performed during Eclipses and New Moons. This ceremony provides an opportunity to meditate and reflect on aspects of life, behavior patterns, thought forms, beliefs and perspectives that are no longer useful or serve ones higher good.  They are released in preparation for entrance into a new cycle. 

Starting your Epiphany ritual, it is important to prepare your space. Burning sage cleanses negative energy and also your aura. If sage isn't a favorite, simply fan the air around your body and space, opening windows briefly as it's quite cold where many people live this time of the year.

Reiki practitioners may send a special "symbol" into each corner of the room. Sprinkling your favorite essential oil (my preference is Lavender) connects its scent to a memory feeling. Then take a moment to quiet your mind, your thoughts, connecting to your heart, Guides, and Angels, and physically write down what you are leaving behind; what needs to be released. Feelings may surface when you're letting go of something or someone you have held onto for too long.  Let it go. Take a deep breath in, then exhale and center again. It is easy to use tiny pieces of paper or small post-it notes and write one thought on each slip or note. After writing want you want to release, place them in a fireproof bowl, possibly an abalone shell or brass urn, and allow it to burn. Let them all go. Let them burn, vanishing from your life. Poof~! Gone, up in smoke~! 

After you have released what is no longer useful, take a moment to quiet your thoughts again and focus on what you want to bring into your life. Do you want to create  a new career?  A new relationship?  Peace?  Take a deep breath in, then exhale, and center. Once again, write each desire on small pieces of paper. 

Intentions with excited emotion bring them quickly into your life, so get happy~! *smile* Remember a time and place where you felt absolutely amazing, joyful and content. Focus on these feelings as you're writing your intentions. Allow yourself to get caught up in your imagination, thinking of your perfect future.

 "I want and I have". 

These new intentions may be kept either in a space on your altar, a small pouch, bag or in a cup, or any special place. I keep new intentions in a tiny pouch inside my wallet and periodically change them when those intentions have been obtained . You may also choose to burn them, sending their energy into the Universe. The choice is yours. Remember to give thanks for all you do have. 

❤   *I am grateful for....* *Thank you Universe...* ❤   

Settled, knowing that outmoded, limiting thoughts and perceptions have been replaced with progressively new, growth-oriented intentions, these new perspectives feel exciting, soothing, comforting, and cathartic. Now you feel amazing, grounded, fantastic, wonderful, happy, awesome, and Divinely blessed. New beginnings await you...many blessings...

☮ Let there be ☮ Peace on Earth....☮

☆♥*♥☆Prayers & Healing Japan, Peace☆♥*♥☆

Calling all Lightworkers,✯ ☼ ☄

The magnitude of the Japan quake of 8.9 is incomprehensible. Strong aftershocks continue to shake Japan's main island as the desperate search presses on for survivors from Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami. The death toll continues to rise. There is a radiation threat from a nuclear plant. The Earth's axis has shifted.

Mother Nature is feeling misery and is terribly disappointed in how we've treated her sea babies and oceans, her furry friends and the lands in which they're (supposed to) roam. Her trees, plants and flowers and the air that nourishes all she births, misused and infected with chemicals, pesticides, sewerage, toxic waste and debris.  She's been betrayed by the very people (humans) she has relentlessness, and without question, nourished and supported for centuries. Gaia, Earth Mother, is angry and hurting and is forcing humans to pay attention. She's taking back what's rightfully hers, whatever portion that may be, shaking the Earth, rising the seas in self corrective effort.

Within Her releasing message, we mourn the loss of hundreds of thousands of humans, animals and sea life. Yet there are many people and animals being rescued, who have survived and need our continued care and financial support. Give whatever you can, even a $ dollar or healing energy.  It's free!

The right side of the body sends energy, while the left side of the body receives. The people of Japan, the animals and Mother Earth need your help. By placing your left hand over your heart chakra, while at the same time holding your right hand palm up and facing outward, send heartfelt love, compassion and healing energy to anyone and everyone who's in need. Let us visualize peace and surround the Earth, especially Japan, with a beautiful white light. This light is so warm, loving, and healing and surrounds every living person, tree, plant, animal, fish, dolphin, whale, ape, cat, dog and every living being on the planet. These magnificent gentle, warm rays gently caress, soothe, penetrate, then heal every living cell in Heavens and on Earth, offering comforting unconditional love. (✿◠‿◠)❀

We are blessed, we are all connected, let's offer healing love, compassion, kindness, and gratitude to all on Earth☉

...Thank you. ॐ

☆♥*♥☆Healing Water☆♥*♥☆

By Lorraine Valente

Hi Everyone,

I would have written about the energetic cardinal T-square with Mars, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, Jupiter, and Hades entering Cancer actually forming a cardinal grand square, yet everyone else is writing about it's possible negative manifestation. I want to focus on how we can utilize this dynamic energy in a positive way...Healing Water.

Water is our source of life. Every living being needs water to survive. According to Dr. Masaru Emoto who authored "The Hidden Messages in Water", water in the ocean maintains a memory of all the creatures who ever lived in the sea.  His book continues to theorize that water has the ability to copy information, as a result of this memory. Since words are an expression of the Soul, their impact also greatly impacts the water in our body. Dr. Emoto photographed water crystals before and after they were shown words on a piece of paper.  Words such as "thank you", "love", and "gratitude" produced beautifully formed crystals, while words such as "you fool", "Satan", and "I'll kill you" produced  darkened, deformed crystals .



"A single drop of water can have various ripple effects on an individual" (Emoto, 2004, p. 37).

We are all acutely aware of the environmental assualt of the Gulf oil spill and its effect on sea life. Dolphins, pelicans, sea turtles, birds, coral, fish, and the waters are filled with toxic sludge threatening to destroy our entire ecological system for decades. Dolphins, in particular, are highly intuitive, and acutely sensitive beings. The increase of beached whales and dolphins is indirect response to threatening vibrations and pollution within the ocean. Everything in life has a vibration. Water is also sensitive to frequencies and also reflects images as well as emit its own vibration.

Written words, letters and numbers also emit a vibration. Numerologically, the letters that comprise the words Dolphin, Pelican, and Turtle are each reduced to a  number 6. The number six corresponds to "The Lovers" in the Tarot and is a number of harmony, compassionate service, healing, clarity of pupose, and correct choice. Turtle symbolizes Earth Mother and Pelican can hold 3 gallons of water in its pouch.  Pelicans move with the tides while Dolphin's create rhythmic sounds and teach the proper use of breathe.
