			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>this week marks the midway point of the mercury retrograde cycle as the sun and mercury align by both declination and degree- making a superior conjunction between the conscious self and ego and the conscious mind and intellect.  important conversations and insights that reveal much are likely- so keep your ears and mind open!  both the sun and mercury trine the north node this week making communication key to evolutionary growth.  being grounded, committed and paying attention to the details are supported.  the weekend is quite lovely with the goddess of Love and beauty harmoniously aspecting neptune and chiron- taking Love to Divine and healing realms.  an open heart is a broken heart.  let your heart break open this weekend and let Love in!</p>
<p>aries- with the sun and mercury cojoining and aligning with the north node aha moments and important conversations regarding health, work and service abound this week.  what is said or revealed has everything to do with your career path and Soul&#8217;s calling.  doors may not be quite open yet but you are beginning to see which way the wind is blowing.  have patience- all will unfold as it should <img src='http://www.findbliss.com/yoga-spa-lifestyle-magazine/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  meanwhile venus, the goddess of Love and beauty, is in your 7th house of relationship and she is beautiful aspected by neptune and chiron bringing the potential for idealistic romance and deep heart-healing of the highest order.  with neptune and chiron in your 11th house that governs how you receive love you are being asked to push through vulnerability and open up to Love.  this weekend is the perfect opportunity to do just that.  don&#8217;t wimp out!</p>
<p>taurus- love, romance, creativity, self-expression:  these are the things mercury retrograde is asking you to review, revise and redo in your life.  this week as the sun cojoins mercury some aha moments about how you let yourself shine (or don&#8217;t) and/or how you let yourself Love (or don&#8217;t) can come flooding in.  stay open to the information!  both the sun and mercury trine the north node- all three of which are in fellow earth signs that sync very well with yours.  with a grand earth trine between planets representing the ego, the mind, destiny and YOU prepare for major insights that open up doors in your mind that have been closed for some time.  the weekend features your ruling planet in beautiful aspect to neptune and chiron bringing a sacredness to Love that is deeply healing and heart-opening.  this manifests in your earth houses- pointing to grounding, embodiment and commitment to your own path.  it&#8217;s all unfolding nicely!  don&#8217;t lose patience <img src='http://www.findbliss.com/yoga-spa-lifestyle-magazine/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>gemini- with your ruler retrograde in your sister sign of virgo (mercury also rules virgo) it&#8217;s likely been a whacky couple of weeks for you so far.  asking a gemini to slow down, take their time or sleep in is like asking the sun to take a day off from shining.  yet that is what this retrograde is asking of you!  the only way to access the deep recesses of your psyche is to turn attention within- that happens in dreamtime, meditation, and other such things that require you stop and turn within.  this week if you are doing your inner work profound insights about your past and how it informs your present and future can arise.  take notes!  with both the sun and mercury aligned with the north node in your house of intimacy you can find some of your most intimate, vulnerable moments are just the ticket to get deeper access to your unconscious past.  the weekend is lovely as venus in your house of romance aligns with neptune and chiron- bringing the heart to Divine and healing waters!  letting Love in is only painful to the ego- let go of your mind and think with your heart this weekend.</p>
<p>cancer- the planet of communication is retrograde in your communication house which can make for all manner of interesting conversations and dreams that have been popping up of late!  this week the sun and mercury align bringing significant insights, aha moments and talks with others that are illuminating and revealing of deep unconscious dynamics.  when you know the energy that is behind the words you are capable of a deeper understanding of whatever it is that life is bringing to you right now- so pay attention to the undercurrents.  with both the sun and mercury trine to the north node in your 7th house of relationships there can be very important conversations had with significant others that helps you to open up to a deeper level of understanding as well as commitment.  the weekend is made for Love as venus in your house of home and family aligns with the planet of romance and the planetoid of healing in your 8th house of intimacy and sexuality.  the heart has depths we are not aware of until someone mirrors them back to us.  Love your own reflection.</p>
<p>leo- mercury&#8217;s retrograde in your house of money and self-worth has been helping you to look at how the two are tied together and what you need to do to find a better balance of both in your life.  this week your ruler, the sun, cojoins mercury bringing aha moments, insights and important conversations that help to show you just what you need to see about your finances as well as your self-esteem.  pay attention!  both the sun and mercury trine the north node in your house of service and health, making your self-realizations both evolutionary and grounding.  this weekend this goddess of Love and beauty in your house of communication harmoniously aligns with neptune and chiron in your house of relationship.  speaking from the heart and voicing your Love are supported!  the heart healing you&#8217;ve been undergoing in the past couple of years as chiron has been transiting your house of relationships is profound.  to heal the heart it must be broken open.  this weekend shatter anything that holds you back from Love!</p>
<p>virgo- with your ruler retrograde in your sign you can likely attest to the past few weeks being a tad intense.  when mercury goes retrograde we are asked to slow down, turn within and pay attention to what lies beneath the surface.  virgo is so good at seeing all the details but sometimes they can get in the way of seeing the bigger picture or going beyond the facade.  if you can stay tuned to the inner realms this week can be evolutionary- as the sun and mercury cojoin and align with the north node in your 5th house of romance you may find important conversations, communication and insights about who you are and  how you Love can come to light.  speak your Truth- first and foremost to yourself.  this weekend the goddess of Love and beauty in your house of self-worth harmoniously aligns with neptune and chiron in your house of service.  serving those you Love is beautiful- but serving yourself is part of self-Love.  you can only Love another as much as you Love yourself.  this weekend give Love to any lack that you perceive within.  </p>
<p>libra- mercury is known as the psychopomp- one of very few individuals who was capable of moving between the upper and lower worlds.  when mercury is retrograde he takes his tri-annual trip down into the underworld, as he is doing now.  with his placement in your 12th house of the unconscious this journey can be deeper than most.  looking at your unconscious stuff around perfection, criticism, and a need for order is up for you now!  this week as the sun and mercury cojoin in your 12th house you can have deep insights, aha moments and profound dreams that reveal the deepest contents of your unconscious to you- pay attention!  with both the sun and mercury trine to the north node in your 4th house of home and family major evolutionary growth is possible regarding dealing with your past (childhood and past lives) as well as finding a sense of home (it all starts within!).  your ruler in your sign trines neptune and chiron at the end of the week taking your heart to deeply healing and Divine waters.  the power of Love can be felt this weekend!  start by loving yourself as you are.  </p>
<p>scorpio- with mercury retrograde in your 11th house of friendship, community and dreams there is a deep rethinking and revisioning process going on when it comes to your place in your community and what your dreams and goals are.  this week as the sun and mercury align, marking the midway point of the retrograde process, important conversations with others as well as insights that come from within can arise.  keep your ears and mind open!  both the sun and mercury trine the north node in your 3rd house of communication underscoring the importance of communication and speaking your mind this week.  speaking your Truth is key.  at the end of the week venus in your 12th house of the unconscious trines neptune and chiron in your 4th house of home and family, bringing some deep heart healing to your relationship with the past as well as helping your heart find a deeper sense of security within.  confronting your unconscious fears around opening up to Love can lead to the breaking open of your heart in deeply fulfilling ways.  </p>
<p>sagittarius- with mercury retrograde in your 10th house of career and standing in the world there is an important revisioning process going on in your life about what you are meant to do.  if things aren&#8217;t flowing don&#8217;t fret- you are being asked to go within and find your true center.  midweek the sun aligns with mercury bringing important communication and insights about your life path and calling.  they can come in the form of conversation with others or important dreams- either way pay attention.  the sun and mercury trine the north node in your 2nd house of money and self-worth bringing significant opportunities to align with the right path AND invite abundance.  mercury is still retrograde so let things unfold in their time- this is not the time to set things in stone yet.  at the end of the week venus trines neptune and chiron bringing deep spiritual healing to your heart and mind via your community and friendship connections.  let love transform you!</p>
<p>capricorn- with mercury retrograde in your 9th house of spiritual beliefs and connection to your Higher Self there is a deep revisioning process going on in your understanding of the world and your place in it.  this week as the sun and mercury align important conversations, communication and insights arise that illuminate your deeply held beliefs and how they positively and/or negatively impact your ability to live in the present.  later in the week both the sun and mercury trine the north node in your sign, making these deep insights and aha moments growth-producing, evolutionary and self-revealing.  pay attention!  at the end of the week venus trines neptune and chiron helping to heal and transform your sense of self worth and ability to share your creative beauty with the world.  connect to your creative and/or romantic inspiration and let Love in.</p>
<p>aquarius- with the psychopomp mercury doing his retrograde journey in your 8th house of shamanistic journeys into the underworld there is a deep internal process going on that involves you confronting deep fears and unresolved wounds around death, sex and power.  this week as the sun and mercury align, marking the midway point of mercury&#8217;s retrograde, significant conversations, communication and insights can arise that shine a light on the deepest aspects of yourself.  pay attention to your dreams- as the messages can come in many forms.  both the sun and mercury trine the north node in your 12th house making this unconscious journey deeply significant and evolutionary.  with all the earth signs in your most hidden houses there is a need to look at your relationship to grounding, commitment and being in your body.  at the end of the week venus trines neptune and chiron in your sign, bringing deep heart healing and an ability to channel and experience creativity and romance in powerful ways.  let your deep inner process open you up to Divine Love!</p>
<p>pisces- mercury&#8217;s retrograde in your 7th house of relationships is a time for you to look back at your relationship history and revise any outdated beliefs or patterns you play out in relationships today.  this week as the sun and mercury align you have the potential for some deep insights and powerful realizations about relationship- in the form of conversation and communication with others, aha moments, or messages from dreamtime.  it&#8217;s important to keep your ears and mind open.  both the sun and mercury trine the north node in your 11th house of community and friendship, pointing to important friendship connections that can help you see the mirror reflection you might not be able to see.  the week ends with venus in your 8th house of intimacy trine to neptune and chiron in your 12th house (the house that pisces rules).  this makes for idyllic romance and deep heart healing that can unfold if you allow yourself to open up to Love.  </p>
<p>pay attention to your dreams this week- they are trying to show you something important.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diseases are said to be associated with your Chakra system via the dysfunction of a specific Chakra(s).  Every Chakra has a color associated with it, and it is this color which may be needed to be nourished in the treatment program for your specific disease. To give you an example, for my thyroid issues, the color Blue, which is affiliated with the organs of the 5th Chakra, including the thyroid, is used to cauterize wounds in spiritual surgery.  The color brings peace, truth, and quiet order, helps you speak the truth, increases sensitivity, strengthens the inner teacher.<br />
Color is essential to health.  It is a manifestation of a higher frequency that exists beyond the physical world ~ a manifestation of the divine.  It is a electromagnetic wave that vibrates perpendicular to it&#8217;s path of movement.  We all need colors in our auric fields.  If you are clearly attuned, you will find yourself attracted to the color you specifically need.<br />
I will provide you with a color chart below to explain the general effect of that color.  Keep in mind, however, that if you have a particular aversion due to a painful past experience with that color of which you have an unpleasant reminder&#8230;you do not have to use that color right away, until you are ready.<br />
Our energy fields are directly related to our relationship with these colors.  For example, if your 1st and 2nd chakras (red and orange), are under-energized, you may feel a dampened energy emotionally, physically and sexually.  In this case, you would need the color red to enhance your energy field for your emotional and physical health.  Also to keep in mind, wearing the colors that you need, in this case red (and orange), may make you feel uncomfortable at first because you are struggling with these issues.  But for you to really get in touch with yourself, and to heal, you have to be willing to be honest with yourself and willing to feel those feelings, to work through them.</p>
<p>Chakra 1:  RED.  Lower part of the body; adrenals; tailbone.<br />
Chakra 2: ORANGE.  Lower pelvis, sex organs, immune system.<br />
Chakra 3: YELLOW.  Solar plexus area, stomach, spleen, liver, pancreas, kidneys<br />
Chakra 4: GREEN.  Heart area, circulatory system<br />
Chakra 5: BLUE. Throat, lungs, ears<br />
Chakra 6: INDIGO. Eyes, head, lower brain<br />
Chakra 7: WHITE.  Upper brain, eyes</p>
<p>RED charges, protects and shields.  It increases your connection to the earth; gives strength to life-force. Multiples Sclerosis patients need red and orange because the first and second chakras are most affected.<br />
Maroon brings passion and will together.<br />
Pink brings soft, yielding love for others.<br />
Peach brings expanding light spirit.<br />
ORANGE charges your sexual energy and enhances your immune system and ambition.<br />
YELLOW provides more mental clarity, gives a sense of appropriateness.<br />
GREEN give your balance and fullness.<br />
BLUE brings peace, truth, and quiet order.  Increases your sensitivity, helps you speak your truth, strengthens inner teacher.  Blue also calms someone with ADD or ADHD, so you might consider painting a room this color.<br />
Dark Blue brings a strong sense of purpose.<br />
INDIGO helps you connect to the spiritual life, opens perception, brings the feeling of ecstasy.<br />
Purple helps you move into spirituality and brings a sense of royalty, leadership and respect.<br />
Lavender clears and purges invading micro-organisms, brings a lighthearted attitude toward life.<br />
WHITE brings spiritual expansion and connection to others on the spiritual level; gives outward flow of energy; reduces pain, reduces pain.  Purity.<br />
Gold enhances the higher mind, brings a sense of great power; helps you connect to God and to the spiritual strength in you.  Strengthen any part of the body. Cancer patients are said to need Gold, as cancer has a torn-open aura on the seventh level, which is gold.<br />
Silver is very strong at purging microorganisms, used directly after lavender in cleaning out debris.  It is used to cauterize wounds in spiritual surgery.<br />
Platinum is even stronger than silver light, it also clears and purges invading microorganisms.<br />
Brown is associated with a rich connection to the earth and grounding.<br />
Black helps you stay centered and brings complete peace, waiting to be born into manifestation, brings you into Grace, deal with death, good to heal bones.</p>
<p>Sending you rainbows of light and color.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>More and more people are opening themselves up to the spiritual awakening that is surrounding us now.  There are more New Age Stores opening with offers of healing stones, oracle card decks, crystals and healing jewelry, among many other offerings.  Yoga centers are on just about every street now in New York City.  All of the different schools of Yoga are spread across the city, so one must be aware of the plethora of choices out there, so that you can find the one that suits you best. There are also educational classes to take which teach you a myriad of ways to reach your bliss by awaking your awareness to the divine spirit in yourself and otherwise.  Some of these are Shamanism; Munay-Ki Rites; Meditation circles; New Moon Ceremonies; Reiki Healing; Energy Healing, just to name a few.</p>
<p>Some of the spiritual things I enjoy, or partake, are Munay-Ki; Reiki; Healing Oracle Cards; Chakra Healing; Meditation (on my own); and collecting stones (beach and healing).  While I have done Yoga, I am nowhere near a &#8220;Yogi&#8221;.  Hatha yoga is something I intend to re-explore.  </p>
<p>As we become more spiritual and our energies are raised to a vibrational level that is higher than usual, where more light energy is given to us, we must remember to protect ourselves.    So what am I protecting myself from, you may be wondering?  Well, if you have not already experienced the lower energies from other people that may become either more apparent to you, or that are coming from you, let me give you a brief overview.</p>
<p>You may soon find it easier to feel the energies of others, even if some of those energies are not so friendly towards you.  You yourself, might start to feel that &#8220;since you are more evolved than others, you are better than them&#8221;; you may appear arrogant and full of ego; or you may turn to self-doubt, filled with fear and blame. </p>
<p>This is where you must be very careful to be aware of the negative energy pull, and to not fall into it&#8217;s trap.  No one is better than anyone else.  There will always be someone who will do something better than you and there will always be something you can do better than someone else.   This negative energy is not of the light, it does not raise your vibrations.  It&#8217;s intentions are to separate people.  Not to bring them together.</p>
<p>As you continue to work towards your spiritual enlightenment and your light frequencies are raised higher, you have to catch yourself if and when your ego starts to slip into the drivers seat!  Humility is in the co-creative surrender to being divine and human.</p>
<p>How do we protect ourselves from these lower energies?  Some of you may already have a protection prayer and intention prayer that you already are using.  Some of you may be using meditation as the way to communicate with the divine, asking for help and/or protection.  I myself, work with Archangel Michael for guidance and protection and to raise my vibration.  Archangel Michael is the powerful angel who provides protection.  He is nondenominational.  His name means &#8220;He who is like God&#8221;.  When I encounter a negative energy or catch myself with a negative feeling, I say to myself, &#8220;Archangel Michael: please stay by my side and watch over me during (blank)/or when (blank), ensuring that only God&#8217;s love and wisdom come through&#8221; or &#8220;Archangel Michael: please help me feel safe and deserving of your guidance.  Thank you for clearing me of heavy, toxic or ego-based thoughts or feelings.&#8221;</p>
<p>As you become more spiritual and highly attuned, and your new or old wounds are being healed, Ego and Arrogance will rear it&#8217;s head in the beginning.  But just remember, they have no place being here in the new peace and calm and enlightenment you are creating for yourself and for the world.</p>
<p>When you find yourself in a negative place, catch yourself and put into practice a form of protection that works for you.</p>
<p>When you are awakened in the middle of the night, the God Force-Divine is calling you to be and listen. The middle of the night is sacred and quiet in your neighborhood and on the earth. It is the perfect time to listen.</p>
<p>Awakening between 2-4 or so in the morning, is something people have gone through for millennium. The forces of the divine are knocking at your door to be heard, it is their timing, not yours.  For some reason people think that when your sleep is interrupted that there is a problem that must be corrected or worried about.</p>
<p>Instead, when you are awakened let all of that go, meditate and pray, and connect to your divine self and be open to communication. You will go back to sleep and rest easily once you have done this.  My prayer is: &#8220;Dear Archangel Michael, please allow me to understand this dream/situation on a spiritual level and give me guidance, thank you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Create a space of calm by breathing to quiet your mind and open your heart. State your intentions for your sacred communion with the divine force. Ask for the highest source energy to be with you and let go of any lower forces.  Staying positive and present is important. Release any negative self-talk and be still.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s OK to ask for help to be more happy and healthy. Each one of us deserves to be fully who we are.  Being free of interference in emotion, body and mind allows us to be loved and of service on the planet.  Many people think it is humble not to ask for help. Instead, it is ego and arrogance that interferes with your communication. The purpose of the divine forces-angels, guides and guardians, is to help us ascend to higher ways of being in our human form.</p>
<p>Be in a place of gratitude and receiving-open to new levels of love, light and information to assist you on your journey. Continue to let go of ego, fear, anger and whatever limits your mind and heart to open to your highest opportunity to connect and grow in spirit and love.</p>
<p>Our feeling perception, our intuition, is important to trust in everyday life, as well as meditation and spiritual connection. Any negative, demeaning, controlling thoughts or feelings are to be released and moved through by bringing in the forces of the divine for assistance.</p>
<p>Sending you love and light on your way to love and bliss.</p>
