Soooo, how are those New Year’s resolutions coming along??? Well, not to worry!!! It’s SPRING! It’s the season of rebirth, renewal, regeneration, and overall “cleaning up” of hearth and home and for the spirit.
There are many “markers” for encouraging you to re-energize those good intentions and good habits that you decided to incorporate into your life. Here are just a few.

The Chinese New Year, which began in January 22, 2004 ushered in the Year of the Monkey. Here is a quote from the website “tarot.com” about the year we’re moving into.

“Free of the Goat year at last! On the heels of a tumultuous 2003---filled with the Goat’s anxiety-producing losses, calamities and disasters--our old friend the dependable, problem-solving, laughing-all-the-way-to-the-bank Wood Monkey propels us into a time of hope and joy.

“The year 2004 will lead us out of dark tunnels into the clear light of day. We will, once again, be able to plan and succeed with projects, cultivate luscious crops (projects, ventures), give generously of love, experience thrilling passion, reconcile with enemies, understand oddball neighbors and in-laws. In Monkey years, anything can happen. And most of it will be good.” Suzanne White, Tarot.com/astrology.

Now there’s an energy forecast that we can joyfully delve into. Use these ideas to mold your thoughts each and every day. If you’re not in that mood then take a little advice from Abraham’s “Allowing” message. When you can’t be in the highest positive frame of mind, do this exercise. Elevate your thoughts as high as you can manage in that moment––if you’ve just had an argument or been cut off from your exit, your thoughts may not jump very high!–hold that higher vibration for at least 17 seconds. Holding the more positive thought for 17 or more seconds enables your mind to move up and out of the negativity you’re in and feel better and better each time you repeat the process until you get to a more positive place.

The next “marker” we will see is the Vernal (Spring) Equinox coming to us on March 19, 2004. This is quite an awesome time––as is the autumn equinox––when day and night are equal. The physical world and the energy world are in balance. The entire planet, all over the globe, is in balance! Take the time on this day to light a candle, say a prayer, or whatever feels right for you, to anchor this energy of balance into your life, that of this earth and everyone on it. See them not only being in balance, but also acting in balance as they carry out their daily activities. Remember, energy does not die. Even science agrees on this point. Each time you put out these kinds of thoughts (and thoughts are energy) they really do make a difference. You are a power of One.

Next we have the three most powerful full moon energy points of the year: The full moon in Aries on April 4/5, the full moon in Taurus on May 4 (also known as Wesak), and the full moon in Gemini on June 2. These three major spiritual festivals have extraordinary spiritual impact for us. A quote from Master Djwhal Kuhl states the following: “The time is coming when all three festivals will be kept throughout the world and by their means a great spiritual unity will be achieved.”

These major celebrations are a chance to bring in these energies for personal attunement and also on behalf of all mankind––great opportunities for growth personally and on a planetary level. Learn to use these energies to empower your life.

Use these occasions to do some intentional renewal of your New Year’s resolutions. Make them part of your lifestyle not just a once a year thought. Here are some Feng Shui and some Naturopathic ideas to help you incorporate your goals into your daily life.

Attend to your own personal health and vitality. Be sure you’re eating a healthy diet that keeps your body in an alkaline state and not an acidic state. An acid body is a body in disintegration. An alkaline body heals itself and is vital and energetic. Call me for info on some tricks to keep our bodies alkaline in the fast paced world we live in. Be sure you are moving. Even if you don’t have time for the gym, you need to keep moving. Your lymph system needs “shaking up” each and every day so try to do some in place “bouncing”. This not only helps the lymph but also activates your survival/strength chakra at the base of your spine.
Clean house! Eliminate all the stagnant, congested energy that may have built up over the dormant winter months.

Add a five element cure to the center of your home and the center of your bedroom.

Add flowers (fresh or silk), add aromas (candles, incense, etc), add beautiful objects and soothing music, take a relaxing bath (adding organic apple cider vinegar restores the skin’s PH and gives needed potassium back to the muscles), add a fountain to your home, meditate––join me each Wednesday 7pm at Kindred Spirits for a crystal healing meditation. All these things help to nourish your body and soul on a day-to-day basis. Be good to yourself and you’ll be better able to be good to those around you.

Keep in mind the words of the Persian Prophet, Kahlil Gibran: “Awake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.”
