Mabon the Autumn equinox

At the times when the Sun is crossing the celestial equator day and night are of nearly equal length at all latitudes and so we call these dates the equinoxes (= 'equal night')

 In September as the Sun is moving southwards we refer to it as the autumnal equinox. The equinoxes are also the points on the celestial sphere where the ecliptic and equator cross and the vernal equinox is used as the zero point in measuring star co-ordinates.

Why do the equinoxes occur on different days?

The Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to go around the Sun. This is the reason we have a leap year every 4 years, to add another day to our calendar so that there is not a gradual drift of date through the seasons. For the same reason the precise time of the equinoxes are not the same each year, and generally will occur about 6 hours later each year, with a jump of a day (backwards) on leap years.

It is the time of the autumn equinox, and the harvest is winding down. The fields are nearly empty, because the crops have been plucked and stored for the coming winter.

 Mabon is the mid-harvest festival, and it is when we take a few moments to honour the changing seasons, and celebrate the second harvest. On or around September 21, for many Pagan and Wiccan traditions it is a time of giving thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings.

Take some time to give thanks for what you have created. In effect you’re thanking yourself and every influence in your life.  As we create our lives we perceive what we have achieved according to our beliefs. Many over achievers and perfectionists can find it difficult to give themselves the acknowledgement for their work and life. This the perfect time of the year to change that.  For those who have conflicting beliefs you can change them by reprogramming your psyche.  Give yourself the help you need in changing any beliefs that are blocking you from experiencing the life you want with a Theta Healing Session or join our upcoming manifesting course.

For all those with a sweet tooth. Find out why sugar is bad for your health when consumed as it is in excess quantities.  Plus there’s an alternative packed with goodness and nutrients.

The white crystalline substance we have come to know of as sugar is an unnatural substance produced by industrial processes. Sugar is produced mostly from sugar cane or sugar beets. It is refined down to pure sucrose. What’s so bad about that?  This refinement process strips away all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, enzymes and other beneficial nutrients that your body could use.

What is left is a concentrated unnatural substance which the human body is not able to digest or make use of, at least not in anywhere near the quantities that is now ingested in today's ‘normal’ lifestyle.

Sugar is highly addictive. The average person now consumes approximately 115 lbs. of sugar per year. This is per man, woman and child.

The biggest reason sugar does more damage than any other poison, drug or narcotic is twofold:

  • (a) It is considered a "food" and ingested in such massive quantities, and
  • (b) The damaging effects begin early, from the day a baby is born and is fed sugar in its formula. Even mothers milk is contaminated with it if the mother eats sugar, and
  • (c) Practically 95% of people are addicted to it to some degree or other.
Now, if you’re like myself and into sweet treats, it is time you tried the following.

When  looking to cut some sugar out of your diet, there's been little to choose from apart from artificial sweeteners or honey – but now there's another prize-winning alternative natural option if your healthy side is at war with you sweet-tooth.

It is called sweet freedom and  made from 100% fruit – using a chemical-free water extraction process from apple, grape and carob – has 25% fewer calories and contains 25g of fructose per 100g, compared to honey's 40g and 90g for agave syrup. Suitable for vegans, it's also low GL, or Glycaemic Load, meaning it won't cause a sugar spike in your system.  We all know how sugar spikes feel, a little bit of high energy and then a sudden drop down till you find yourself wanting more to lift you up again. With Sweet freedom you can avoid that altogether.

If you want to generally sweeten up your life and beliefs, book our Theta Healing Sessions or join a course to empower yourself now.

The Mind 09/07/2010

Have you ever continuously sent out a strong emotional thought of, "I really don't want XYZ to happen", and somehow you only attract that situation into your life?  Why is this?  If we are truly powerful manifesting beings, why do we sometimes manifest what we really don't want to occur?  There may have a variety of personal excuses and explanations for this, yet the most basic understanding is that, "whatever we resist, will persist."  It is a paradoxical world we live in and the key to transcending it is to embrace everything and resist nothing.  The only way to master life is to be at peace with it and within it.
 
Any time you put up an inner energetic/emotional wall and resist anything or anyone, you'll find that your mind is fiercely focusing upon the negative aspects of what you don't want, instead of thinking about what you really want to manifest in your life.  Vibrationally, we are like magnets and only attract that which we continuously focus upon with great emotion.  So if you can stop focusing upon something, you'll stop resisting it and stop manifesting it.  However to control the mind takes great awareness, patience and love.  It also takes knowing your true divine infinite nature that fears absolutely nothing.  For as divine beings, we've all set it up so that every little thing that we focus on grows, expands and returns to us naturally like a boomerang.  You cannot get rid of your inherent manifesting magnet nature. If you could choose somehow train your mind to obsessively resist feelings of joy, love, abundance and gratitude, it'd be a fantastic way of manifesting those aspects into your life.

 "Become more and more innocent, less knowledgeable and more childlike. 
Take life as fun - because that's precisely what it is!" ~Osho

Perhaps you may have noticed this resistance habit show up in your relationships?  Have you ever noticed when you start to think something is "wrong" about somebody or believe that they truly "should" be more like you or different, your body instantly tightens contracts and goes into "resistance mode".  This internal rejection of life is a ridiculous attempt to protect the ego in some way and is an ignorance of our Divine Nature.  It's good to know that your ego is like a shadow.  When you get close to it, you discover that there is nothing really there!  Sure, it seems real, yet is simply an illusionary contracted ball of festering belief systems blocking the brilliant light of your own infinite being.  When someone makes fun of you (your ego) truly nobody is under attack.  How can you attack a shadow?  The ego is a juicy, fragmented yet false figment of your mind's imagination.  The day that you realize what your ego is, is the same moment your eyes open to see that you are truly a divine infinite blessed being.  
 
"The real Self is eternal. It has no origin and no end. The other "I" is born and dies.
 It is impermanent." ~Ramana Maharishi
 
Life is here to be explored and experienced on every level.  Even resistance is a valid experience that needs to be explored.  How else could you know what freedom was unless there was some release of resistance?  Once you discover the Divine essence that you truly are, you will be freed from who you think you are and what you usually resist.  It's good to know that resistance is simply a subtle form of fear.  If you can embrace your fear with love, then ALL resistance dissolves.  Eventually one day you will no longer resist anything, see everything as connected to the Divine and embrace it all.  That is the day that you will have discovered the Divine Beings we all truly are and will have truly transcended all future suffering. 
 
To be totally free from resistance is to master your mind.  The mind is easily trained when your body remains absent from fear.  If you are resisting any aspect of life, you are focusing (on some level) on what you fear.  Fear is that one thing people resist the most.  It was created by a great misunderstanding; that you are separate from a loving Infinite Source.  You can transcend all fear in your life by simply welcoming it.  This can only be done by confining yourself to the present moment when the fear arises.  Feel the fearful feeling, yet do not imprison yourself in its thoughts and feelings, go deeper...through it...and surrender to the presence of your eternal being.  Find the river of consciousness that penetrates you and surrounds you.  When you discover this river, you will find a much greater understanding of resistance and the freedom to release it.

Two wolves 08/25/2010
 
Picture

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about  a battle that goes on Inside people. 

 



He said, "My son, the battle is between two "wolves" inside us all.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."


The grandson thought about it for a minute, and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"


The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

I want to take a look at the history of karma as it affects life experience and combine it with teachings of manifesting.
 
As a manifesting teacher and psychic reader I have come across many clients from the East and West have adopted a belief in karma.

Karma is central to the Hindu concept of reincarnation (death and rebirth) After a death a person’s soul or energy essence moves into a new body and is reborn. The soul could become a king, an animal or even a butterfly, where the soul goes is determined by karma – re the previous thoughts, words, and action of the person that the soul inhabited. So if their previous karma was good they will be reborn into a higher state of life. If the karma was bad the soul will inhabit a lower state.

Some clients believe they are doomed or fated to good or bad luck depending on karma which some believe to be divine in nature. So if a client comes to me with a belief in karma and are having a bad or series of bad experiences, they feel trapped or doomed to karma.

Yet the secret tells us we cause reality to bend according to our thought and feelings. Good vibe bad vibe kind of thing. This is similar to cause and effect, re the Hindu belief in karma. Both philosophies have to incorporate liberty for the person involved in order to make a balance.

Are you to blame for something unpleasant happening in your life? Or are you just responsible to make better choices in your present and leave your karma, history or ‘baggage’ behind in the past where it belongs? Perhaps a bit of both?

In Theta Healing we can take a look and resolve beliefs on all four levels. Core level, Genetic Level, History Level and Soul Level.

 In plain terms if you suffer distrust this is due to experience or history, soul, genetic or core programming, therefore under your control to change. The trick is not to carry your baggage or karma into the rest of your life or believe you are always to be the victim of it, but to face it head on, address what needs balancing and feel free to access receiving and giving of joy.

Manifesting on purpose teaches people to encourage and amplify their ability to feel positive, it does not ask you to think positive 24/7. So much can be buried in the subconscious mind especially when people are afraid of feeling anything labelled ‘negative’.  Use all thoughts and feelings in a constructive or positive way, including the so called negative ones.  They are signs along the road of life.
