SO PURKH: THE Meditation for ALL Women

Welcome to the new moon in Aquarius tonight @ 11:39 pm PDT. It is the time to manifest innovative ideas for the future that will support the growth and transformation of humanity!

Daily Planetary Message January 17, 2012-Athena/Inner Wisdom

"You know what to do.  Trustyour inner wisdom, and take appropriate action without delay."

This is the Athena/Inner Wisdom card from Doreen Virtue's Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards.  So what have you been putting off in your life?  What idea is it that keeps on nagging you to take action on it even though it may seem crazy to you?  This is the energy of the new moon in Aquarius prompting you to bring transformation into your life.  This is the sign of the future and now that goddess Athena tells you to trust your inner wisdom.  Those ideas and projects you have been putting on the back burner- it is now time to pull them out and bring some sort of manifestation of them into the material world.  Baby steps are fine.  "Just do something!", Athena says.  We have all the knowledge within us in the form of our Divine teacher within, but for so many reasons, this is usually the first voice we invalidate.  What you are doing is learning to listen to your Soul when you tune into your inner wisdom.  The world today is in full support of you becoming like the Greek goddess of Wisdom and be in the knowingness of your own true path.  Ultimately, only YOU can know the Truth of your own Soul.  Are you listening?

Daily Planetary Message January 20, 2012-Empress

"I see the sacred in all beings and myself."

The Empress is about fertility and creativity.  This card is from Affirmations for the Everyday Goddess by Pamela Wells.  How beautiful we receive this message the day before the new moon enters Aquarius.  New moons are the perfect time for new beginnings.  This is the time to start that project, attitude, job, life you have always wanted.  Having this new moon in Aquarius brings with it its own unique qualities of what is easiest to create in this particular sign's energy.  Aquarius is the sign that rules the future.  So what do you want your future to look like?  Even better, the future in Aquarius is anything but "the same old, same old".  It is the energy of new inventions, ideas, trends and unconventional approaches so THINK BIG.  The sky is the limit with Aquarius and since Aquarius is an air sign, the sky is exactly the metaphor of how vast and expansive your ideas should and can be.  This is the sign of innovation so what have you wanted to improve upon or create from scratch?  This is the time to start it now.  Know that The Empress represents human destiny and in the humanitarian and communal sign of Aquarius you have the potential of innovating humanity for the best and highest good of all.  Create, express, invent, innovate today!

Daily Planetary Message January 20, 2012-Archangel Jophiel/Patience & Archangel Sandalphon/Victory!

PATIENCE - Archangel Jophiel:  "Your dreams are blooming more rapidly than you realize.  Still, they need nurturing and patience."

VICTORY! - Archangel Sandalphon:  "Your prayers have been heard and answered.  Have faith."

Once again today as like yesterday, we have two cards from the angels.  These cards are from Doreen Virtue's Archangel Oracle Cards.  Yes it certainly feels like things are moving now.  Especially with the new moon in Aquarius this weekend.  All of our hard laid plans since the early 1990's now have the possibility of coming into fruition.  It does not matter if your own personal intentions have changed a million times since then.  All that matters is that they have grown in alignment with the vibratory field of this new consciousness that has been brought forth in our world.  As we have been evolving since this time, so have our goals and intentions whether we realize it or not. Now we have arrived in a place where all has been set up energetically to really see, feel, sense and experience these changes in our universe.  As much as Aquarius is about revolution, we still are needing Patience to properly integrate all of the energetic changes in our world that are occurring now.  That is why some of you feel so tired, maybe even lost.  You may feel that your life all of a sudden has lost or changed its purpose, but you are not quite sure what its next, new purpose is.  No matter.  The Victory! at hand is in prayer and faith.  As humans, we do not need to know all the details of our lives and especially our futures.  instead.  know you are exactly where you are meant to be right now.  All will be revealed in proper divine timing.  It is our duty to keep our prayers for guidance and revelation going and to have the faith and trust necessary to believe they will be answered.  We have reached the first level of the Aquarian Age, now it is time to tend to the seeds we have planted or even plant new ones following your own intuition.  Be in peace, trust and victory!

Daily Planetary Message January 19, 2012-Angel Messages 11 & 28

CARD 11 - "Mankind is on the verge of a new phase of evolution.  Feel the energy of the universe and communicate with others on a spiritual level.

CARD 28 - "As you learn to live and love so you will grow and prosper."

Today's planetary message is from Angel Messages by Vanessa Lambert.  These two cards came out together and make a perfect  synchronization of our role at the present moment of focus as humanity is now entering a deepening phase of the energy of the Aquarian Age.  According to the yogis and many spiritual teachers, the Aquarian Age began on 11/11/11 so as we have it today we are a little over two months into it.  The first card, #11(of course number 11 the Aquarian number!) is from the purple part of the deck which represents spiritual transformation.  Yes, this certainly is a confirmation that we are in a new phase of humanity but the time of evolution is past.  Now we are here in the spirit of revolution.  The energy now is one of a great windstorm, even tornado for some, as change sweeps us in this time frame of change and transition.  What is this change?  It is the message in card #28-from the pink section of the deck representing love and relationships.  The message is our spiritual transformation is leading us, even pushing us, toward an approach of love rather than fear.  Learning to use love, trust and faith in our lives rather than living in a state of constant fear as a guide we will only then prosper and grow.  The yogis said the Aquarian age is a time of moving into a "heart-centered world"  Certainly this message supports that.  It is time feel with the mind and think with heart!

Daily Planetary Message January 18, 2012-The Horse/Accepting help from another, delegating authority

"ACCEPTING HELP FROM ANOTHER, DELEGATING AUTHORITY"

The Horse card is an Animal Guide of Avalon from Colette Baron-Reid's oracle deck Wisdom of Avalon.  The Horse rides our way today to emphasize the message of the forthcoming new moon in Aquarius-the time is upon us to gather together and accept help from others working in community to do our good work in the world.  Aquarius rules humanitarianism, community and friends. So for any of us who are working for the best and highest good of the Universe in whatever role we have undertaken, now is the time to ask for help and accept it when it is offered.  Sometimes we feel want to do everything ourselves.  Now is the time to relinquish this need for control and allow others to step in and support you.  Remember that you will get much farther faster is you are riding The Horse rather than walking the path by foot.  Now is the time to speed ahead! 

Daily Planetary Message January 17, 2012-Serapis Bey/Go Now

 

"GO NOW"

This card is from Doreen Virtue's Ascended Masters oracle card deck.  I love this message for today because we are on the brink of the new moon in Aquarius on Saturday, January 22, 2012 at 11:39 PST.  The new moon in Aquarius is about bringing in innovation, new progressive ideas, surprises/shocks and a utopian way of thinking, especially involving community.  

Here we have the message of "get ready, hold onto your hats" because when Aquarius enters the scene, revolution can be afoot!  This card tells us to let go of the old ways of thinking, doing and being, and get ready to explore some new, unknown territory.  It is time for us to be pioneers in our own lives thus being able to bring these positive changes out into the world.  

Allow yourself to "be the change" and you will be sure to influence others to rise up in great consciousness and awareness.  This is an exciting time!  Pay attention to all your "far-out" ideas and be prepared to "Go Now" from your old life and "Go Now" into your new life!

Since New Year’s Eve I have spent much time ruminating over the concept of forgiveness. Each day when I chant So Purkh, I always set an intention. Sometimes the same intention is set daily months on end. One I use consistently that came to me in meditation is “I clear, heal and transform my relationship with _______, for the best and highest good of All.” It is my belief the setting of this intention for 11 months has led me to this experience of forgiveness. I decided to forgive my ex-boyfriend, not for anything he had done, but for my feeling of betrayal at him that he could not “keep up” (grow) with me. I have held so much anger, frustration, and resentment towards people especially my men that I have spent lifetimes seething inside. Well, and let’s face it, on the outside recently also.

So Purkh and Forgiveness

Since New Year’s Eve I have spent much time ruminating over the concept of forgiveness.  Each day when I chant So Purkh, I always set an intention.  Sometimes the same intention is set daily months on end.  One I use consistently that came to me in meditation is “I clear, heal and transform my relationship with _______, for the best and highest good of All.”  It is my belief the setting of this intention for 11 months has led me to this experience of forgiveness. I decided to forgive my ex-boyfriend, not for anything he had done, but for my feeling of betrayal at him that he could not “keep up” (grow) with me.  I have held so much anger, frustration, and resentment towards people especially my men that I have spent lifetimes seething inside.  Well, and let’s face it, on the outside recently also.  
Christiane Northrup, M.D. writes in her book The Wisdom of Menopause how as women if we hold our emotions in throughout our lifetime, at the time of menopause they can certainly manifest in great anger, if not even physical disease.  I have been experiencing this especially the last year since I have turned 50.  All of the unresolved emotions of feeling used, powerless, betrayed-whatever it is-they do not just go away because you choose “to not think about them”.  That to me sounds like just another form of denial.  As women we are taught to be so “nice”, to not be aggressive, and put everyone else’s needs before our own.  No wonder we end up with generations of older women who are angry or “menopausal” from this imposed martyrdom.  Would this happen if we struck a balance between our own needs and the needs of others?  Maybe, maybe not.  Societally this is not going to change overnight so this is where the concept of forgiveness comes in.
At this time of year we see and hear all about cleansing and detoxing.  Just go to Whole Foods right now.  You’ll see!  Well, we need to focus on not only physically cleansing our bodies, but emotionally cleansing our minds and spirits.  Forgiveness can do this.
My journey with forgiveness began on New Year’s Eve during a Shamanic Trance Journey seeing myself so angry with my ex-boyfriend.  I was screaming and shouting at him to the point of insanity during this vision.  My frustration with him was penultimate.  I certainly could not view it as anything less than breaking a sacred pact we had made.  And now he had violated it.  This vision then transformed into me having to forgive him, not for anything, I repeat anything, he had done or not done, but for my own release of anger, frustration, bitterness, betrayal, powerlessness and victimization.  This particular man represents all the men I have been in relationship in this lifetime and many others as a whole.  He represents the my male collective by being my twin soul.  So by being able to forgive him, I felt a huge weight lifted from me.  I feel light and free.  And I continue to remain so.  I never could contemplate how liberating forgiveness can actually be.  So many shackles that have kept me trapped in old, old patterns of behavior and attitude toward men have now shifted.  I can see them with so much clarity.  It is their Soul Selves I am able to view rather than the human behavior I found offensive lifetime after lifetime.  This form of detachment allows me to see and feel all the gifts they have given me.  They have only been mirrors of my own stubborness and righteousness about justice in any form.  Now I have the opportunity to be flexible, open and responsive to the grand array of human behaviors.  I feel such relief in this ability to forgive, accept and let go.  In the past it has never quite felt so deep and all encompassing.  Maybe that is one of the hidden gems of 2012.  

I love teaching Kundalini Yoga! Thanks to all the beautiful yoginis who kept up this morning creating an energy of feminine inner strength, power, and courage. Sat Nam!
