April Energy Report

Welcome to April’s Energy report. This is the space where I interpret the coming energy feels for the month and introduce common healing themes. I also include the flower essence of the month, the essence that resonates with the months themes. This report is from New Moon to New Moon.

April has been a fiery month so far, and this’ll continue especially around the new moon on the 16th of April. (WA time).

Change is well and truly in the air.

It feels so to good re-release this blog report. Please settle in with a cuppa, it’s a long one.

Building Foundations

2018 is the year to build. As with anything building a strong foundation maintains a strong structure. This also makes sure things don’t fall a part. Attention to detail and fine tuning anything you feel is important is prevalent now. If the intuitive flash arrives act on it and if in doubt, go deeper.

I’ve always had a deep fascination with the stars, the movement of the planets, and the power of our cosmos. I feel and see things and this report gives me the platform to express that. It’s my monthly Mystic release.

I’ve reignited this blog after some time away. I needed the space to reconnect. I felt I needed to watch the natural passing of the energy patterns. I also needed the time to deepen my knowledge so I could some how weave this into the healing work that I do.

It’s been a very interesting 12 months.

Astrology is an Archetypical System

I’ve since come to understand that Astrology is a definite archetypical system. Created to recognise the energy patterns triggered through the planets of the cosmos. These patterns trigger aspects of our psyche.

Knowing when certain astrological patterns arise. Gives the awareness and understanding of something bigger. It’s like a big blue print that guides you and course corrects.

It’s important to empower through each cycle. Certain lessons and realisations will come through each configuration. When a certain cycle repeats, new forms of the same lesson will present.

Working with and in harmony with the earthly cycles makes life that little bit sweeter. It can help you to know when to act, when to rest and retreat.

The earth is surrounded by a massive magnetic force that can’t be measured. The power of our sun, gives us life. The moon, when full, magnifies what needs to be embraced and changed. As we live on planet earth these forces can and do effect us. This also means not blaming certain things on the “astro “weather. There are definitive patterns and symbols that can empower us.

Forewarned is forearmed. #emflowerment.

This is the time to dig deeper, take responsibility for our emotions and our projections.

The word “arche” from the word archetype means the beginning or origin. Carl Jung is a famous psychologist who created and studied a range of archetypes. It was his way to group people in an underlying form and explain certain behaviours. Archetypes can be traced back to the 16th century. Other systems have been created to deepen our understanding of human behaviour. Capitalising on our strengths and weaknesses.

Carolyn Myss, is a very well know medical intuitive who uses Archetypes as a basis for her healings. From this understanding she weaves her knowledge into healing the physical energy system.

Exploring other archetypical systems (separate to astrology) has been incredibly healing and insightful. Below are my favs.

Business Caoch, Shannon Bush from Creative Possibility created the Personal Leadership archetypical system. Shannon helps women awaken to their true leadership profile in business and in life.

Tuning into my Liberator Engineer archetype, and acknowledging her need for freedom. Revolutionised my life.

Harnessing Your Healing Brilliance by Sarah K Jones, enabled me to honour and align with my true healing nature. Sarah has created a very strong and healer centred archetypical system. This is not for the faint hearted. The work is deep. If you’re a healer and work in the healing arts I highly recommend that you do this course. It’ll awaken a great sense of compassion, self acceptance and awareness in why you do the work that you do.

Tuning into the archetypical force of the Mystic awoke a deep knowing. It gave me the recognition this archetypical force needed.

I love the creative essence. I love art. I love to write. I love the feeling of being in tune with nature.

Discovering Creative Archetype creator Natalie Kent from Sacred Business was seriously destined. Natalie’s system awakens you to your natural creative expression and essence. This means using your voice that’s unique to you, resonant with the nature of your soul and that of the earth.

There’s a plethora of archetypical energy that runs through each and every one of us. Humans are complex beings. Astrology is just one of them. All offer a deeper understanding of who you are.

This report is my interpretation of this, with some flowery healing magic for added value. Please take what you need and discard the rest.

The New Moon in April

With the new moon around the corner this is the perfect time to go deep, and tune into your strengths. Acknowledge your weaknesses. And love them both.

This moon is in the archetypical sign of Aries. The sign of the individual, robust, assertive and even aggressive at times. What ever you do, give it your individual flare.

Be self accepting, warts and all. You’ll notice you’ll breathe deeper when you do. This is life affirming.

Flower Essence of the Month

The flower essence that resonates so strongly with this month is the Sky Blue Orchid. The healing energy of this flower helps you to step forward and allow your true essence to be felt and validated.

Change Is In The Air

The planets move into a new configuration starting from the 16th with the new moon.

One of the most definitive patterns that’s been well and truly alive since late March, is that of Mercury Retrograde. The planet Mercury carries the archetypical force of communication and transportation. The retrograde cycle is the natural time where you operate subconsciously and projected patterns  come into focus.

This is the natural cycle to release and heal. It’s not necessarily the time to move forward and expand. Yet to stay in your own energy space and honour the inward reflection. If you’re constantly busy, then the retro trickster Mercury will make himself known.

Miscommunication, computer issues, missed appointments, and car breakdowns are included in this mix. Feelings of lethargy, overwhelm and anxiety are all signs of this trickster energy. This is the forced slow down to re-connect and listen. This can be challenging when life moves as constant pace. This is why these cycles exist.

If we look to the earth for guidance we can see there are times for seeding, time to grow and times to hibernate. Many of us like to keep control. Unfortunately there’s no such thing during this cycle. Everything is in a state of flux.

This retro cycle will end at the time of the new moon. The residual energy from this alignment will hang over us until early May. Things will pick up pace. Use cruise control until then.

Healing Anxiety and Overwhelm with Flower Essences

Anxiety and overwhelm have been a common theme this month.

It’s important to ground and stay in the present moment around these times, especially around the new moon. Anxiety is a symptom of projecting to far forward into the future.

When the body is tense and rigid, feelings of overwhelm, anxiety and stress are exaggerated. Flower essences can help ease these anxious symptoms, offering a beautiful way to heal and connect. New perspectives and even flashes of inspiration occur when the body and mind connect.

Within my 1:1 clinic treatments, I use the essences by pulsing certain meridian points within the ear. It’s a definitive way to facilitate healing. This treatment brings the body into a state of calm. It’s very effective especially if you’re prone to constant mind chatter. It allows the mind to slow down, stop even, and from this place of peace, the body can heal and energise.

If you find you’re in an emotionally raw and sensitive state, flower essences work incredibly well.

Flower Essences can be taken orally. You can read more about it here. Flower essences help to shift old subconscious beliefs. This deepens the connection to the self. Allowing one to move forward unimpeded by past ideas or ideals that are no longer needed.

For this reason I’ve added Wild Violet as a go to essence for this month. It settles anxiety and worry and facilitates a calm emotional state.

Saturn and Pluto

There are two major planets that turn retrograde two days after this new moon.

One is Saturn the planet of karma and responsibility and the other is Pluto the planet of death and rebirth.

Saturn turning retrograde could create strong lessons around collaboration, business dealings, and responsibility. We’re all being asked to step up here. Fools rush in so make sure you do your research. This archetypical force will be with us until September.

With Saturn in Capricorn, slow and steady wins the race. There are no short cuts. This can feel frustrating. The best bet over the next few months is to enjoy the process as much as the end result.

Pluto is the planet of transformation. Deep healing and insights can come forward. Not all need be acted on. Use your discernment. Time to rationalise and be practical.

Never in precedented history have we had the opportunity to heal so deeply.

After seven years, the archetype Chiron moves out of Pisces into Aries on the 17th April.

Healing the Masculine

Chiron is the archetype that symbolises deep wounding. The kind of stuff that keeps coming around and around. The same patterns, the same situations. This is the stuff you’ve come here to heal and transform. Some are life long lessons that continue to play out until it’s worked through.

The energy mid month may feel intense as we are being asked to take on a new energetic alignment. This is an uplevel kind of energy.

With Chiron in Aries you will see lessons around anger, how we channel anger and how we use it to motivate change. Lessons around who and what we give our energy and attention to will be strong.  Use this anger, this passion to make changes around the things you treasure. There maybe lessons on how you do or don’t empower yourself.

The seven years Chiron was in Pisces saw the rise of the healing and activation of the the sacred feminine. This played out with the formulation of the #metoo movement (#NOWAustralia in Australia). Women are making sure the Archetype of the feminine is one of respect, strong, yet passive, intuitive and dynamic.

The story of the feminine has shifted and changed. Even though there is still work to do to, the energetic shift has occurred. More and more you’ll see a difference in the way the media portray women. This is also occurring in the work place and even in our own families.

With Chiron in Aries it’s about healing the sacred masculine. The role of the man will now go through a similar transformation. Acting on what you believe is so important. Activism will be strong over the next sevens years. We’re moving out of lessons around being and feeling, into intuitive action. Action being the primary motivator to create change.

Get ready it’s going to be an amazing ride.

Be aware that there may be a lot of stop start energy this year.

Like I say forewarned is forearmed.

Focus not on outcomes, yet on how you’ll get where you want to go. Look after yourself. Major pivot points could happen now. What you thought you wanted at the beginning of the year could become null in void.

It’s the month (and year) to begin building strong foundations. Foundations for love, life, work, community and the world. How do you do that?

Keep things simple. Follow what you value. Heal. Evolve. Be you. Recycle. Give with your whole heart and soul.

Until next new moon

Much flowery love

Magnesium: The Essential Element of Life

10 Reasons Why Magnesium Is So Good For You

If you suffer from

• Cramping 
• Nervous tension
• Insomnia
• Muscular tightness
• Digestive issues
• Hormonal imbalance
• Lacking energy 
• Trouble with digestion
• A weak immunity
• Stress. If you have a very stressful job or under particular large forms of stress.

If you are affected by anxiety Magnesium settles the mind and body taking the edge off nervous, and agitated feelings. These feelings are usually hard to ignore and/or control. In combination with Kali Phosphate, (another very important essential mineral). together they make a wonderful natural calming elixir.

 

If you have high cholesterol – Magnesium can significantly reduce this.

 

Our cellular processes rely on Magnesium to create our physical energy stores and in assimilating minerals into our blood stream.

Cramping:

 

If you are racked with pain from constant cramping in your legs, lower back or even arms. Or have a constant joint or muscular ache, this is a sign of Magnesium deficiency.

 

This is different to Restless Legs Syndrome (which is an iron and sodium deficiency). Cramping is rectified by adding Magnesium to your daily regime. Please check out the Facial Diagnostics chart below for more information. 

 

Magnesium is a needed for muscle relaxation. Without it our muscles would be in a constant state of spasm and contraction.

 

Nervous tension, stress, insomnia:

 

Magnesium relaxes the central nervous system. When under stress, the sympathetic nervous system’s role is to stimulate the body into activating the fight-or-flight response. This is a heightened state of awareness. Many live in this state continuously. There is no need to do this. Being at a heightened state of awareness is extremely draining and places a lot of unnecessary pressure on your body and on your emotional and mental well-being.

 .

It also lifts the production of Serotonin, the body’s happy hormone, which brightening your mood and cognitive function, thus relaxing the central nervous system.

 

Digestion, Hormonal Imbalance:

 

Magnesium activates over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. This translates thousands of biochemical reactions, including the production, absorption and distribution of hormones. All of which occur on a regular daily basis. Lower gastric acid levels and inflammation in the gut may be a factor in reduced mineral stores. Magnesium assists in the production of the hormone and digestive function which is vital for a balanced mind and body

 

Lacking Energy

 

If you suffer from lethargy or tired or all the time. Magnesium is responsible for converting fuel (food and minerals) into energy. A reduction in Magnesium will reduce the vital cellular process required that creates energy for the body, thus explaining feelings of lethargy. Increase valuable magnesium tissue salts into the physical system and before too long you’ll notice an increase in energy levels.

 

Create a strong immune system.

 

Magnesium increases the effectiveness and constitution of the immune system. Antibodies are created to protect themselves from attacks (microbes, bacteria, viruses). Without Magnesium this process would be compromised.

What is Magnesium?

How much do I need? How can I take it

Recommended dosage

I can help. Check it out. Facial diagnosis

Facial Diagnosis is a wonderful way to get an indication of mineral salts are needed by the body.

This picture shows clearly a very predominant deficiency of  Magnesium.

Wait … There’s More

Tracy O’Meara Smith is a Holistic Health Practitioner. If she’s not working within her Perth Hills clinic, you’ll find her in the garden with her family, or in the bush soaking up the awesome flowery vibes.

Tracy uses a combination of natural therapies such as Bowen, Emmett and Flower Essence Therapy. Tracy helps people gain the peace, relief and new perspective they crave.

Tracy works 1:1 with women, online and within her clinic – Silverdale Natural Therapy. She treats women who suffer from chronic pain, insomnia, hormonal issues, and anxiety. Having two daughters of her own, she is unapologetically human. Through her own complex journey, she is sincerely motivated to leave this world a better woman and a better place.

Working in my clinic, Silverdale-Natural Therapy, nestled amongst the trees in the hills east of Perth, I get to meet and treat many hills folk. They are all unique and wonderful in their own way. Many suffer from horrendous chronic injury, chronic pain, anxiety and remedial health issues.

Colleen Ashby is one such client who lives and works as a remedial special needs assistant at our local Lesmurdie High School.

I treat a lot of women who have or are entering into deep crisis. This can be emotional, physical, mental or spiritual. My clinic is seen as a sanctuary where they can relax, reconnect and let go of all the burdens that they carry.

When Colleen Ashby entered my clinic, I would never have imagined the deep impact that she would have on my life and on that on my practise.

Colleen had a congenital heart condition. Six years prior Colleen was a fitness instructor. 17 angiograms later which included many stent operations to relieve arterial blockages. It became increasingly obvious that Colleen would require a heart transplant.

Many a time it was touch and go for Colleen.

Having Type 1 diabetes only added to the complications to Colleens condition. Including her incredibly strong anti-bodies. These would fight back even when they had been radiated, and stripped out of her blood. This was part of the rigorous process Colleen had to go through before receiving her heart. Not once did I ever hear her complain. She talked more about the impact this was having on her family. Always thinking of others and never of herself.

Colleen has that typical hills larrikin type character. She gets along with everyone. Down to earth to a T. Funny to the bone. Honest and doesn’t suffer fools. Colleen calls things as she sees it.

Her mind-set strong – Her philosophy “If you have a problem you just get on with and take responsibility with whatever life serves up to you. You just deal with it”

Originally Colleen came to see me for respite and to treat niggling back pain. As for many, it’s a time out from life that many of my clients gift themselves as they gain a lot of relief for doing so. Within my treatments I combine Flower Essences and Bowen Therapy. They work well for those that find themselves under close doctor scrutiny. It is non-evasive and awakens the body’s own natural healing wisdom. (You can read more about this on my blog What is Bowen Therapy? and The Healing Power of Flower Essence Therapy)

The last time I saw Colleen we both knew that her new heart was on its way. Little did we know what would this mean for her.

Two days later, in late January 2017, Colleen received that call. Her heart had arrived.

The operation was complicated. At some point, it didn’t seem that she would pull through. Through true Colleen style and tenacity she lives to tell her tale. Many prayers were sent. Much support surrounded Colleen at this time.

Later in February I was given the opportunity to treat Colleen at the Coronary Care unit at Fiona Stanley Hospital.

Before I saw her, I was told that through the operation Colleen had lost her sight. She was now blind. “This is an anomaly”. “It’s never happened before “said her doctors. Even to this day they cannot understand how this came to be.

Walking into the Coronary Care unit I didn’t know what I would encounter, nor did I think I could control my emotion. I was happy for Colleen on so many levels and devastated that she had another deep challenge to endure. This was soon obliterated by a welcoming laugh, a hug and a “Gday how you are going Trace”

Even though Colleen was blind, she could see. I was immediately put at ease and things were accepted as they are. This is the wisdom Colleen exudes.

Colleen is one of the most genuine, courageous and wisest person I have ever met. My life is so much richer with her in it. The gifts that she’s given me, professionally and personally are unquantifiable. It’s our attitude and our mind-set that propel us forward no matter what life serves up to us.

When Colleen talks about her heart transplant, she never forwardly discusses the fact she lost her sight. She feels that this will detract from the importance of organ donation and knows how many desperately need it.

This is her journey and she has openly accepted it with everything she has to offer.

If you were to stand in Colleen’s shoes you’d understand that prior to her transplant, she was living a life that could end at any given moment.

Shortness of breath, lack of stamina and energy to do the most basic of tasks. Losing her sight is a small price to pay for the new lease of life she has now gained. In her words, she just wants to dance, and now she has the energy to do just that.

Colleen knows her life is a gift. She continues to be an intrinsic part of her family with her three sons Stephen, Scott and Mark, her amazing mother Pat and that of her husband Les. Colleen is indeed an important part of our hills community, she has a lot to give and so much wisdom to offer.

Next year Colleen plans to go back to work and be a walking example to the teenagers that she will be supporting. All of this would not be possible if Colleen had not received her heart and this is what she chooses to focus on.

We’ve had many a conversation about the complexity of life. Many around how her life depended on the death of another. That’s not something she takes for granted.

Ever.

Sight or no sight. Colleen gets on with it and is now training to star in the Transplant Games on the Gold coast in Sept of 2018.

12 months ago, Colleen couldn’t even walk to her letterbox. Now she blindly walks 5-10 kilometres a day through the streets of Lesmurdie. Lifting weights and swims 1600m three days a week in training for the Transplant Games.

It was through her swimming training that she also discovered that she’s able to see objects and shapes under water. Above water she cannot. This can’t be explained by her doctors. Another miracle. Colleen has shown me that they exist.

I am in awe of her will. Her determination. Her desire to capture the simple precious moments that she has and gives thanks for each and every one of them.

We can all learn something from Colleen. She’s a true force of nature. I am so grateful she came into my life and entrusted me to support her through this journey. This is why I am writing this. Many have their stories. Few grab life by the balls and move through such adversity holding no bitterness, regret nor “why me”.

“There’s no room to sit idle nor sit in depression or despair. Keep life’s options open you never know what can and will happen” This is her humble philosophy.

Colleen is now a strong advocate for Organ Donation. This will be her legacy, including how to live life with a full heart and Colleen is certainly showing us how to do that.

If you would like to support Colleen and her team to compete in the 2018 Transplant Games Please donate to her Go Fund Me Page or even leave a message of support.

Each year, living and deceased donors and their families save and transform the lives of thousands of Australians through the gift of organ and tissue donation.

Flowery Cosmic Action 

The Flower Essence that resonates for this month is the Yellow Leschenaultia

Yellow Leschenaultia helps you to be open-minded, and receptive. It also calms the mind. It’s incredibly powerful to use whilst in meditation.

The more wisdom  you gain the more you recognise how open you must be to activate this inner wisdom . The mind is always looking for a concept, like a ledge, to clamber up on to and rest, saying “now I know”

It is imperative to be aware there is always more to know.

Understanding comes from a myriad of sources. From the simplest Soul we can learn the greatest truths. Kids are great for this!

If this resonates for you please don’t hesitate to contact me and book in for an online or in clinic Flower Essence Session – this is the link to book 

You may find further clarity here:

• For those who do not listen properly, either uninterested in what is being said due to intellectual arrogance or being unable to open the mind enough to process the opinions of others.
• For those who dismiss out of hand the thoughts of others.
• For those who find it hard to understand what another person is meaning when they speak to them. They often miss the whole point of what is being communicated.
• For those who have problems taking in information and remembering it.
• For those who have problems remembering what they study.
• For those who don’t want to hear the ideas of others, for them it is a waste of time.
• The “know it all”.
• For the person with “tunnel vision”.

The energy of May is about doing things in a new way. Come mid month action is the way. It’s about deeply listening to ourselves and to each other. There’s an art to this at the moment. Some of the information is coming through in a subtle way.

After the intenstiy of April – there’s almost like a silence amonsgt the noise that can and needs to be integrated.

Be discerning of your energy.  If you’re around others that are not supportive of you or bring you down – This is the old energy. You’ll know when you’re in the right space because it’s positive and light.

The Engergy of May 

.

The New Moon is on Wednesday 26th April at 8.16pm – Perth Time

With so much planetary and global action that’s occurred in April – May is the stabiliser month.

This new moon is about getting grounded and accepting the changes taking place and letting go of control. Don’t push past the holding pattern – if the energy is not there – accept it – everything happens in it’s own way and in it’s own time ..

I know this from personal experience. I have the patience of a saint – it’s been stop start for me for years and this one is the last round of this kind of clearing and integration. From here you can start moving into something a little different with a new perspective and with a grounded focused reality.

I’ve let go of thinking. I let go of the inner chatter

April showed me so much how my mind and my mindset was having an impact on how I function – there was a part of me that seemed to sit in auto pilot and I’d lost my inner spark that kept me fresh and open. I was not fully aware until the bubble burst.

I let go again.

Naturally I started operating instinctively – this is my natural state.

So many planets have gone or are in a retrograde phase – this means you are in the process of clearing the past in one way or another. Intuition is the best way to navigate this month – in all ways. It’s very much an internal process – things lighten up mid month.

If you ever feel yourself overly challenged this month look at how you connect and the connection to yourself.  The more connectioned you are the more things will flow for you.

Nothing more

The Full Moon Transformation

.

You don’t have to be a yogi or sit on a cushion to find or connect with yourself. These are sterotypes that could be working againgst itself in asking others to connect with who they are.

It is and has to be what is YOUR truth. This vision may not be yours,  connecting to who you are is very much for your benefit.

If that means you take 5 mins out to listen to some relaxing music or writing in your diary or painting, or drawing – what ever gets you into this magical connective space – this is your way and that’s the right way.

The issue most of us have is that the slow down to connect can be inconvenient.  I know .. you just want to go go go.

I always start with one minute – in what ever that I’m doing whether its colouring in or breathing and then this grows into another minute and so on. Concentrating on the breathe is a simple way to start. It’ll make 5 minutes feel like 10.

Choose to befriend that inner critic – She’ll/He’ll love it. Compassion is the key here.

Perspectives are in deed changing and as this happens things can become fully realised.

Around the The Full Moon on the 11th May, a lot of things will start to fall into place. Yet there could be a little confusion here – as the Full Moon amplifies our emotions, so sit back a little and take stock.

The Full Moon may bring about the deepest part of yourself and show you what needs healing. In relationships, work, life and love. It’s time to go deeper into what you love and even what you’re afraid of.

I have noticed themes around anger towards the patriarchy and how the feminine has been constantly dismissed or disregarded. Old ancestral pain could come forward to heal, including old trauma. This is a time that we can connect with ourselves in a way that helps us to feel, connect and release.

This is very deep moon.

When things arise at this time it’s really important to honour this and make sure your looking after yourself. Fear based thinking may be triggered so please take care and be conscious of this and make sure you make the necessary moves to help shift your psychology. By making these shifts mentally we can transform so much and also see life in a more loving and clearer way. Connecting the mind, heart and body is imperative now.

You may find you’re emotional and there’s a lot going on for a lot of people. Take your time and lean into what you’re passionate about and what you can connect to on a bigger scale. It’s timely to think about things in a new perspective, in a new way.

What ever is moving for you and your find yourself feeling overwhelmed or under pressure it’ll be beneficial to find your inner calm amongst the chaos or take refuge in your favourite place, space and in the actions to channel and balance in a healthy way.

It’s time to release old thinking and allow your creative spark to shine and start creating a greater vision for your furture. Breaking through old stuff will liberate you now and for the months ahead.

Much Flowery Love

Intuitive Energy and Moon Report February 2017 

New Moon peaks on 28th January at 8.07am

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 11th February at 8.32am

2017 is here even though 2016 has lingered a little and it’s taken us a while to acclimatize.

A feeling of new hope arrives with the energy of the New Moon on the 28th January. This is very much about everything happening in divine timing.

The Full Moon on the 15th of January was intense for a lot of people. Many felt white washed having to clear through some deep emotional energy, some of which came without warning.

The New Moon on 28th January will give you the relief you seek. 2016 will move on from here.

February sees the beginning of eclipse season. Starting from the Full Moon 11th February, be prepared for possible rapid change.  If you’ve strayed from your path, the universe is going to kick you right back on it.

There could be unexpected wins and unexpected losses.

The New Moon 28^th January 8.07am

This New Moon on the 28th is the perfect time to act on those inner hunches. Particularly in relationships. Stretch yourself and try new ways of relating. Be careful, there’s a sensitivity in the air. Compassion will see you through.

There’s a dynamic feel to this moon, more so than what’s been felt for a while. If you’ve felt heavy and tired, procrastinating and life has felt like walking through mud, this will finally lift. Life will begin to move at a faster pace creating the energy you’ve needed.

Be ready to make quick decisions and for some breakthrough kinda action.

Inspiring ideas, thoughts, plans and actions may become apparent.  Create a strategy. Be mindful that this exciting new perspective may take some time to implement. These may be long term plans – feel it out before putting anything in action.

Things may manifest very quickly.

Use your imagination to create what you want. For this month and the entire year. The planets of the cosmos are moving direct which means you have a short window of forward movement that’s not been available for some time. This will wane from mid February so make the most of it.

Put everything you want and need into perspective. Create the steps to make it happen. Quantum leaps in understanding, career, and spirituality can occur so be grounded, centered and real.

Intentions for healing are extremely beneficial at this time.

The most empowering thing you can do for yourself is heal. This makes way for some pretty strong foundational energies.  Healing past pain sets you up to be your own energetic authority. You’re less likely to be swayed or influenced by external experiences. Step away from drama, allow others to play that part, you needn’t get dragged in. Take your time if you need it.

What you say no to now is saying yes to something better further down the track. Go with the flow.

A feeling of agitation could be felt through this moon – ground through exercise. There’s an unpredictability that runs through this entire month so put those self-care practices in place.

Connecting with your tribe, friends and family are a great support now. Reach out – even if you just need a hug.

The Flower of the Month

The Flower Essence that resonates with this month is the dainty Correa.

Correa’s healing vibration helps us to lift

• The essence to inspire feelings of positivity and self-esteem.

• Being able to learn from mistakes with acceptance and without blame or regret. From inner acceptance – to focus – to success. It’s very much an integrative essence

• Helpful for overcoming negative self-concepts with ensuing phases of stagnation and depression.

Correa is wonderful to use if you’ve made some seemingly doozy errors in judgment and you’re replaying the event over and over. It helps to enforce a positive mindset. Especially after a period of intense challenges that’s drained your energy.

If you continuously put yourself last and others consistently first – this is the essence that helps you stop taking you for granted.

If you’re up-leveling your business or even your life and you take an inferior view of yourself – feeling insecure by being out of your comfort zone. This is the essence that can help clear these beliefs and give perspective to what’s holding you back.

If you would like to delve into this further. You can check out this link and you can gain some information on how you can work with me and the flowers. You can also get in contact here if you would like to make an order.

With so much that’s happened over the last 12 months (possibly longer) you may feel like you’re coming out of a cocoon.  This is the time to forge a new way not only for the coming month but for the coming year. The only way out is through. Move on and out. Trust.

Lifting negative self-beliefs can be ignited with new ways of being. You have to start somewhere. The only way to let go of the past is to step forward by doing, being and speaking what you’re truly about.

There’s a lot to be grateful for.

Throughout this month have a positive focus. Tension can be eased by stepping into your own individualistic self, be selfish but not self-centered. Do what you love, love what you do.

If there’s anything that you may be hanging on to, surrender it. This is the Go For It moon so let it go once and for all.

If you’re feeling tired, or adjusting to changes take one day at time. Your power is in the present moment. Issues around self-love and self-esteem could be themes so be gentle with yourself and those around you.

With the planet Venus ( she’s the relationship planet) gearing up for her retrograde cycle. Be mindful that over the next few weeks, people may feel distant.  It’ll test your own inner love story and you own inner sparkle. How do you care and love who you are? Are you being taken for granted? Are you taking someone for granted? Don’t let anyone dull your light. Give some space from the naysayers. Make sure emotional boundaries are strong. You may feel this until late April.

How I plan to Utilize the February Energy

.

Personally, I’ve been incorporating some healthy exercise into my day. I’m getting my booty into shape. I feel so much better. It’s keeping me grounded.

Simplicity is my mantra for now. As is getting organized. I’m even meal planning – I know, a bit anal. It’s a time management thing and I feel so much better for it. I’ve slipped into an old habit over these past weeks of being preoccupied with all the busy-ness. I’m tired of feeling there is never enough time. By creating the plan I’m finding I have more time and more space to do all the things that nurture me and those around me.

The first thing that I’ve shifted is the moments that I spend on technology. I’m no longer choosing to engage in mainstream media.

I’m so over how the media creates and reports the news. There’re so many awesome Podcasts  (check this one out  Dare to Flourish), You Tube videos and Documentaries that are free to air that are positive and engaging.

If I need to know something I trust that’ll it find its way to me. I’m not putting my head in the sand – I’m just choosing what I want to engage in. I think we’ll see a big shift in this area over the coming months.

This is my way of having my say. I’ve turned off. I’m tired of the fear mongering, drama and dogma that comes with mainstream media coverage. It’s time wasting and draining. There are many other voices and points of view out there and I want to hear them. I want to watch and listen to things that reflect what I find valuable and what’s important to me without all the crap that is echoed through out mainstream media sources. Finding alternatives has been a fun and uplifting process.

In business, I’m checking in with my mindset. I’m formulating a content and marketing strategy that helps to create a sense of community and altruism. I want to work and expand my clinic practise and I want to be able to contribute to projects that can help those less fortunate. This is the penultimate for me. It’s all in the intention.

Structure and strategy are being put into place.  Most importantly it’s also the time I put aside to do this. This month is all about creating time and space and being mindful and flexible of the changes that I may need to make.

The Full Moon Eclipse 11^th February

.

Full Moon 11^th has a very strong manifestation vibe to it. It’s a big heart energy with a strong creative force. Eclispes bring rapid change and shake up the status quo – this the first of a series that will end in March.

It’s a time to stand up and speak up. This strong eclipse will allow for bigger changes, bringing in opportunities to help you grow and prosper.

New patterns can be developed. This is a time to look at where you’ve felt stagnant and where can you make changes to create more movement and positivity in that area.  This eclipse may expose it for you.

Whatever is lit up make peace your mantra. It’ll set you up for an awesome year ahead.

Be aware that the week from Feb 22 – 26^th could prove interesting. Use mindful practices during this time. Something out of the blue could occur. It’s something to be aware of and note it on your calendar and see what occurs around this time.

We’re all riding the wave of change. You can glide through it this month or allow it to dump you and leave you with a pile of sand in your undies. It’s your choice. Trust your instincts and reach out if you need,  this is very important.

Set no personal limits yet carry healthy boundaries. Everything needn’t be done in a day.

All that hard work or all the crap you’ve had to put up with, especially over the past 12 months – make it part of your history. The saying, “We are the sum of our experiences”  – this month could add up to be the time where everything changed for you – for the better. Let it go and mark it as a pivot point for your life in 2017. It’s time to shine.

Be open to this moment. This is where all the power is and will forever be. Take a stand and light your way.

Much Flowery Love
