It's Week 4 of the Omer Count: Netzach. 
In the last 3 weeks we learned about Mercy, Judgment and Beauty. Now this week it's all about Victory (Netzach).
Karen Berg explains how Moses literally had victory in his hands when he controlled the course of battle between the Israelites and the nation of Amalek by standing on a hill and raising and lowering his hands. She explained that Moses was given the job of receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai because it was through his tremendous spiritual effort and endurance that he achieved total understanding. 
She also goes on to explain that all the energies from the 7 Weeks of Spirituality (the ten Sefirot) can be found in certain stones and crystals today. The energy of Netzach is found in a stone called Tarnish also known as Topaz. Topaz has healing energy and its vibration is used to release stuck energy and helpful to connect to personal truth.

What does this all have to do with us today? Whether you are religious or not, it doesn't matter, this is all about spirituality. It's about your own relationship with yourself, a higher power and your own belief behind it. 
It's all about learning a lesson and the blessing behind any story we read whether it's real or not. It's about seeing the light in every situation and how we can apply it into our own journey. 

Endurance, ambition and determination are key factors in gaining victory. And since victory is the energy of this week, learn how to apply and experience victory in your life today. Endurance is a balance of patience, persistence and guts. Without endurance, any good desire or intention has no chance of victory. 
Having endurance means to be and feel alive, to be driven by what truly matters. It's about fighting for what you believe and going all the way. It's an energy and a life force that comes from within and stops at nothing to achieve it's goal. This force requires that endurance be used in a healthy and productive manner. 
In order to have victory you need: love, compassion, discipline, dignity, bonding, endurance and humility. 

The chakra that is connected to this week's energy is the third chakra (in the Sefirot) which is the Solar Plexus. 
When this chakra is blocked we feel low self-esteem, we don't think we are good enough, we fear rejection, we don't have control over ourselves and no will power. When this chakra is balanced and cleared we feel empowered, strong, positive thoughts, and we have strong will power. This chakra is connected to the stomach, small intestine, liver, digestion, pancreas and even blood sugar. So make sure to have your Solar Plexus cleared so you don't manifest physical issues in those areas. 

This week there was a riot and uproar in Baltimore, Maryland. No surprise here as the energy of this week is about victory, endurance and fighting for what you believe in. Sad to me that everyone involved in the riot turned to violence. Riots have been around since the beginning of our history text books. No news there. 
My friend Natalie explained to me how the two most rival gangs joined forces for this riot because a young boy died in the hands of a cop. This means people can learn to set aside their differences for a cause.
Anyone that knows me knows I have a rebel heart so I am all about protesting and standing up to the powers at be. But I am highly against violence as this is the most negative energy there is. There are ways to stand up against the forces that are trying to oppress you, but you most do so in a positive way. 
Like Madonna once sang "Let LOVE shine and we will find a way to come together to make things better!"

Real change and power starts with you and within yourself. Start by awakening yourself to the truth, not what you read, see, or hear by media, text books or people. Listen to your inner self for true guidance. The light that shines within yourself will never steer you wrong. 
When you are awakened you will start attracting others that are awakened or need to be awakened and together you can create change by sharing your light with the world. Lead by example. Your thoughts, actions and energy cause a ripple effect. 

Have a wonderful week filled with victory in every situation you are in. May you find a cause you believe in and educate others how to achieve victory. Let your light shine in a positive way! 

Week 4 is over on Saturday at sundown.

A 30 Day Challenge is never easy for anyone that has tried it. It takes 21 days to make or break a habit, so after your 21 days, you are good to go!
Week 4 of my Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge was the best part of the challenge. 
By now all pains and aches were gone. I was completely in love with Bikram Yoga. 
It was official: "Hi, my name is Leda and I am addicted to Bikram Yoga!"

At this stage of the game I loved having Bikram Yoga as part of my daily routine and I especially love the Bikram Yoga NYC studio. Everyone is friendly and all of us Yogis have the same goal: honoring ourselves with 'me' time while releasing everyday stress and toxins. 

My last week of the 30 Day Challenge I had some amazing teachers that I always loved seeing. 
I was excited to end my last few classes with Pamela Herron, Olivia Anselmo and Justine Gartner. 

Pamela Herron is a gifted teacher. I love the way she truly has passion for what she does and how she leads the class in such perfect sequence of poses as if it were the perfect dance choreography. She is truly special and her energy shines in class. Pamela always pushed me to do better and cheered me when I did great.
I always left feeling a bit taller and skinnier after her class! Thank you Pamela! :)
You can read more about Pamela at: www.bikramyogales.com/Pamela 

Justine Gartner has an amazing inspiring story. She started Bikram Yoga on a 30 Day Challenge due to her ongoing battle with Sciatica. After a year of practice she no longer needed a chiropractor or acupuncture. 
She even competed in the USA Yoga Regional Asana Championship in NYC. Needless to say, she loved Bikram Yoga so much she completed her Bikram Yoga teacher training program. Justine saw me grow from week 1 where I was a hot mess up until week 4 where I felt like a true professional! 
You can see more of Justine and her photography work at: JustineBethGartner.com

Olivia Anselmo who I have written about before, was my teacher on my 30th day. I was so happy about that since she truly inspired me back in week 2, to keep going. Glad I did! Olivia has a special way of encouraging you to handle your poses in such a powerful way. You can tell she's totally in tuned to her higher self and is a healer in her own right. 
I truly adore the way she handles all the first timers in class especially the ones that think they are about to pass out! Loved being inspired by her! Olivia had everyone in class give me a round of applause for completing my 30 Day Challenge. You can find out more about Olivia and her magical retreats at: corinneandolivia.com

I have to say I truly feel that my body has completely changed since I started Bikram Yoga. I feel my body's alignment is no longer the same! I can't describe the feeling but it's a powerful experience to be able to feel so connected to your own body physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

If anyone is curious about Bikram Yoga and changing their lives, I highly recommend the Bikram Yoga NYC studio. My favorite of course is the Upper East Side location since that is where I started my new journey. Make sure to say Hi to Yelena the night manager as she is the best! Feel free to take a peek at the studio here: BikramYogaNYC.com
 And if you live outside of NYC, check your local town for the nearest Bikram Yoga studio.

I also want to thank my Bikram Yogi partner in crime Louise for hanging in there and happy we pushed each other everyday! 

Namaste!!!

It's week 3 in The Omer Count: Tiferet. 
The last 2 weeks we dealt with Mercy and Judgment towards ourselves and others. Week 3 of the 7 weeks of spirituality is all about Tiferet (Beauty). 
Karen Berg explains this week is all about the expression of beauty, balance and healing in the universe. No coincidence it's also the New Moon of Taurus, the zodiac sign that is also associated with these same energies. 
She explained that Tiferet (beauty) and Taurus is connected with the color green - which stands for the color of life, healing, nature and balance. 
The chakra connected to week 3 is the heart chakra. Karen explained most of the human population has issues with the heart chakra no matter how loving or spiritual we are. There is always a piece of energy in there that is angry, bitter or feels lonely. But she explain we must take responsibility this week for all of our actions and any situation we are in. The world is our mirror. 

What this all means to me, is basically, this week we have complete access to truly transform ourselves through the power of healing. If we start experiencing situations this week where we are blaming others, we have to truly dig deep and take responsibility in how we co-created the situation and how to avoid doing it again to someone else. 
We also have to start seeing the beauty in life. Take time to breathe in the gift of life, the present moment. Be grateful! Are you busy running around all day? Take 60 seconds to realize how blessed you are to be alive. No matter what your situation is, you still have a working mind, you have the power to create and manifest a blessed life. So start thinking positive and feel the love the Universe has to offer. The Universe is always working in your favor. You just have to take responsibility in knowing that you are responsible for the energy you bring into a room and in your life!

Whenever our heart chakra is cleared and balanced, we feel the power of love, gratitude, happiness, joy and we just want to share this feeling with everyone! We don't hold grudges, we forgive easily and we have no fear! 
But when our heart chakra is blocked, we feel angry, alone, sad, jealous, envy and bitterness. That is never a good feeling! As your energy healer, spiritual teacher and fairy godmother, I can tell you that if you have any of these negative feelings, you are blocked in your heart chakra.
This week and the rest of the month you have a huge portal available to you to create major transformation. 
Let's open up all the locks around our hearts and just be free!!! 

Enjoy the beauty in your heart, in your life, in your family, in your friends and in your fur children! Learn how to appreciate Mother Earth by connecting to the sun, taking a walk in the park, hugging a tree and recycling :)
All these energies will uplift your heart chakra and create balance in your life. 

Go out of your way to share this energy with all your loved ones and people you do not even know. After all, we are all connected from the same source! 

May you all have a wonderful week and truly take time to see your lesson for growth and appreciate the beauty within yourself and others! 

Week 3 is over on Saturday at sundown.

This Saturday, April 18, 2015 at 2:57pmET enters the New Moon in Taurus! Yes, in Taurus! Western astrology likes to view this as the New Moon in Aries but energetically and spiritually it really is the New Moon in Taurus :) 
The Sun is in Aries until April 20th and then goes into Taurus. Mercury is in Taurus until April 30th, Venus is in Gemini until May 7th, Mars is in Taurus until May 11th, Saturn is in Sagittarius until June 14th, Jupiter is in Leo until August 11th and Uranus has been in Aries since March 11th, 2011.
  
Get ready to receive a lot of healing energy in this post and read carefully while truly taking in everything that is in writing. I am sure some of you, if you have been reading my Omer Count post, know this is week 2 of the 7 weeks of spirituality. So we are still in the judgment energy. Take a look back at the beginning of this week and see where there were moments presented to you to avoid judging someone or getting angry at someone. Be honest with yourself how you reacted and then envision how you would have acted instead. 

A New Moon represents new beginnings. Always view it as a "New Year" energy. It's a time to start fresh and set goals for yourself. It's like pushing the reset button in your life. This is when you can ask for what you desire and watch it manifest in the upcoming weeks. Under the New Moon energy you start feeling the desire to start and create something new. You must really focus on what you want to create under the New Moon because you have an energetic portal to support you in your desires. If you don't know what you want, ask for clarity and guidance. 
A New Moon means the sun and the moon are in the same sign. 

This New Moon in Taurus comes in with a lot of healing energy! This is the time to truly create change in your life for the better. On the evening of April 18th hours after the New Moon kicks in, you will begin week 3 of the 7 weeks of spirituality and it's all about beauty which is connected to our heart chakra. No coincidence it's under the New Moon of Taurus since Taurus is all about beauty, healing and love. 
For the rest of the month your soul will feel a strong urge to try new things. You may feel like it's time to re-evaluate yourself and your relationship with others. This is because your soul wants to elevate to another level. It wants to be able to evolve and transcend to a higher frequency. 
You can accomplish this by accepting your situation for what it is and know that changes are ahead if you make the choice to create change. Start by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. If things are happening too easy for you and it's too familiar then you have little room for growth. This means you need to step it up a notch and push yourself to do things that make you feel uncomfortable. It's during the energy of feeling uncomfortable that you will create, manifest and transform yourself. 
Your soul will also feel the need to create balance in your life. Are you doing so much for others and constantly giving so much of yourself that you are not receiving time, love and energy for yourself? Then you are not balanced. Create alone time for yourself this moon cycle. When you are treating yourself to alone time, meditating, doing yoga/exercise, eating healthy or relaxing in an energy healing session, you are honoring yourself, therefore creating balance in your life! HONOR yourself this month! 

The New Moon in Taurus is a healing energy. The Hebrew name for the month of Taurus is Iyar, which means "I am God, your Healer." This month of Taurus you have to work extremely hard at changing your bad thought patterns and transforming your bad behavior. This moon cycle you have the support to start taking responsibility for your actions and break the unhealthy cycle of blaming others for your circumstances. Take responsibility that you are where you are because you co-created that by your actions, thoughts and most importantly your words. 
The power of speech (words) is everything this month. Your thoughts are extremely powerful as this is what your subconscious connects to, but once you SPEAK your thoughts then your subconscious believes this is what you desire and brings it into your life. When you speak negative you are creating negative entities/angels around you.
If you think negative but correct yourself from speaking negative you are now creating change. This is where you can receive light. Work hard on transforming your thoughts to match your words in a positive manner.

There are 10 types of negative speech: 
1. Evil Speech: This is when you are talking badly about someone. You are creating evil tongue. The same if you are listening to someone speak badly about someone else.
2. Gossip: Another form of evil tongue. Once you gossip you are placing judgment on the person/situation and creating that in your life. 
3. Lies: This is a bad curse. Avoid lies as much as you can. Stand in truth. Even if you have to go back and tell the truth and feel humiliated, it's in this process that you break all the negative energy around you. 
4. False Flattery: When you flatter someone but you really don't mean it. This is bad because you are manipulating a situation no matter how you look at it. It's coming from having an agenda and wanting to be liked. 
5. Nonsense/Silliness: When you say anything just to say, then take it back by saying you were drunk or you were just kidding but unfortunately there was already cause/effect and repercussions involved. 
6. Argument: You are creating division and disconnect from the light when you do this. You are inviting chaos into your life. 
7. Anger: One thing is to feel anger, that's fine but to express anger with your words is creating major chaos in your life along with negative entities around you.
8. Pride: This is a sign of insecurity. When you have to exaggerate/brag about a good cause or situation to others you just ruined all the good you created. 
9. Offensive speech: When you deceive using the power of words, even if you are selling something. This is considered fraud and abuse of power. 
10. Causing Embarrassment: When you use the power of words to create shame for someone else. This is the worst of all. It is equivalent to murder. 

This moon cycle you are supported by the New Moon Goddess Artemis.
Things you can do to honor her:
1. Light a green candle for healing and Mother Earth. 
2. Light a silver candle to honor her and the energy of the moon. 

Taurus is the first sign of the Earth signs. So it's all about financial gains as well. 
If you are looking to receive and manifest more money into your life, here is a cool abundance assignment: 
1. Take a new check from your check book.
2. Write an amount that you desire to receive. The amount should be enough to make you feel abundant but realistic at the same time. Because this way it's easier to manifest each month and you can then raise the amount.
3. Write the check out to yourself. 
4. In the Memo section write "Law of Attraction".
5. Hold the check in your hands. Close your eyes and envision receiving this amount. Add joy to this feeling. 
6. Envision the check surrounded with white light.
7. When you manifest financial abundance in the days to follow. Write it down. 

So there you have it! A great New Moon in Taurus filled with lots of love, transformation, beauty, healing and financial abundance! Can't get any better than that! 
Please try your best to break free from your comfort zone. Make sure to take action and push yourself to make important changes. Express yourself in a loving and honest way. You have to do your best to learn to be happy on your own and be happy with yourself for who you are right now. Go out of your way to help others by encouraging them to be the best they can be. Avoid negative speech but instead speak words of kindness, love and encouragement. 

I wish you all a wonderful New Moon in Taurus!!! Make time after 2:57pm ET on Saturday, April 18th to write down your intentions. And BELIEVE that it is all going to manifest in your life. You have the power to create magic along with all your brothers and sisters on this earth. You have support from Mother Earth, Moons, Planets, Animals, people, spirits, beings, the universe and the G-d of your understanding, waiting to assist you! 
Just like Lauryn Hill and Nas sang: "If I ruled the world..Imagine that..."

I LOVE YOU ALL!!! I am here for you always! We are all one on this Planet Earth.

It's week 2 in The Omer Count: Gevurah. 
Last week was all about Chesed (Mercy) and this week it's all about Gevurah (Judgment). 
Karen Berg explained it best with the following message: 
We enter the second of the seven weeks of the Omer which corresponds to the channel for judgment, discipline, and strength in the universe. The energy of this week is attached to Isaac the Patriarch. 
This week offers us the opportunity to work on our judgment (judgment of ourselves, others and situations) which blocks us from spiritual growth and freedom. 
Karen suggests we take action this week in two ways:
1. Replace victim mentality with self-responsibility.
2. Let go of the negativity that keeps us stuck.  
She also shared an amazing statement: "The more we embrace the consciousness of looking inward to take responsibility and change rather than looking outward to judge, the freer we become, and the freer we become, the more we touch and reveal our own power."

To me this all means that this week we must all take full responsibility for our actions. It's so easy to always blame others for things that "happen" to us. Whether we find ourselves saying "Oh I can't believe him! How dare he do this to me?!" Or "She's so shady! I know she's jealous of me and talking behind my back!" We are all guilty of saying or thinking this way sometimes. But in reality we are really co-creating negative energy around us while giving away our power. 
It's also a way to deflect or deviate away from the real truth, which is, we are not victims. We are responsible for all of our actions. And this is usually hard for us to truly see or admit. But it's in this process that we truly are able to break free and create positive energy and receive more light in our lives. 
Take this week to truly work hard on transforming your thought patterns. Catch yourself when you are blaming someone or judging someone else, what you could have done differently or what did you contribute to the situation.
Perhaps you need to learn to restrict a little and watch what you say or not force situations to happen and let it all go. 
We live in a world of cause and effect so at some point we have to end with blaming others for being the reason we are not receiving what we desire or why things are "happening" to us. 
Change your thought patterns and you will change your life! 

This week we are all still connected to the energy being concentrated on our throat chakra. 
So remember from last week's post, the throat chakra, when not balanced, will not allow you to communicate correctly or you will find yourself gossiping too much or it simply means you are not speaking the truth! 

As your energy healer and fairy godmother, I suggest you go out of your way to take full responsibility this week and speak and own your truth! Work hard on not judging yourself or others this week! Remember you never know what a person is going through unless you've walked a mile in their shoes! 

This energy will last until Saturday at sundown.

Important spiritual weeks are ahead for us all my friends!
I read Karen Berg's explanation of the energy of The Omer and think it's one the best so I had to share! 
 
The night after the Seder, we enter a 7 week period called the "Omer" which means 49 days of spiritual testing during which we can earn and keep the light we received on Pesach . 
Each of the 7 weeks corresponds to one of the 7 lower Sefirot that make up the Tree of Life: Chesed (Mercy), Gevurah (Judgment), Tiferet (Beauty), Netzach (Victory), Hod (Majesty), Yesod (Foundation), and Malchut (Kingdom). 

These 7 Sefirot are the channels of energy through which the universe is physically manifest. One of the ways that Kabbalists understand these Sefirot is through the biblical patriarchs and matriarchs who are "chariots" by which these particular cosmic energies are "drawn down" from their potential state in the metaphysical realm to an active form in our physical universe. 

During the course of this week we have been making our spiritual corrections on the level of Chesed. The energy of Chesed is mercy and kindness, and the patriarch who draws down this energy is Abraham. 
Our goal for the remainder of this week (until Saturday evening when the energy shifts), is to be like Abraham and inject mercy and kindness wherever possible into our dealings with others. Now is the time to be gentle and kind even in instances where we believe toughness and judgment is warranted. 

Karen Berg also explained that the chakra that is connected to Chesed is the throat chakra. 
Being an energy healer I know exactly what this means. Whenever your throat chakra is blocked it means you are not expressing/communicating yourself or your thoughts properly, you are not speaking up or speaking the truth, and/or gossiping. We always want to be able to have a clear, balance and active throat chakra. Because when it's balanced and cleared we are able to express ourselves in a way that is so effortlessly. We are able to stand and speak the truth and we avoid speaking gossip as much as possible. This is also important for creative people who have to express themselves through their voice or speech.
Release your fear against not speaking the truth. We are all not perfect and we should never expect anyone else to be for that matter. Understanding and accepting ourselves is the key to truly understanding and accepting others. 

So this week that we are under the energy of Chesed, truly try to practice compassion towards yourself and others. 
Go out of your way to truly listen to the person that is giving you attitude and understand where they are coming from.
Go out of your way to volunteer somewhere, understand the root of the cause and find a way to make it better. 
Go out of your way to help an animal in need and help Mother Earth by recycling and eating better. 
Go out of your way to love yourself more by letting things go, by releasing fear and trusting Divine Souce.
Go out of your way to love yourself a little bit more by eating a healthy meal and exercising.
This is the perfect time to forgive yourself and others who have hurt you. 
A simple act of kindness towards someone else will change your energy and shift your life in ways I can't even describe. 

Remember this week until Saturday, April 11th evening time, it's all about compassion and kindness. 
Let's pay it forward this week!!!

Roll out the Pink carpet because one of my favorite Full Moons is here and it's coming in full force! 
This Saturday, April 4th, 2015 at 8:06amET enters the Full Moon in Libra. It's also considered the Pink Moon :) 
It brings in a Lunar Eclipse also known as the Blood Moon! 
The Sun will be in Aries until April 20th, Venus in Taurus until April 11th, Mercury in Aries until April 14th, Mars in Taurus until May 11th, Jupiter in Leo until August 11th, Saturn in Sagittarius until June 14th and Uranus has been in Aries since March 11th, 2011. 
This upcoming weekend is beyond powerful, to say the least! Not only is it a Pink Moon in Libra and a Lunar Eclipse but it is also the beginning of Passover and Easter Sunday. All represents one word: REBIRTH! We will get into all the cool explanations in a bit. 

So much has happened since the past two weeks. I had set some cool intentions for the new moon and some of them quickly manifested! Amazing :)  My clients are connecting to their healing sessions on a whole new level. Extremely special. Reminding me that in the end it's not about us, it's about sharing our light with others! 
For now I want you to take a quick minute to recap all that has happened since the New Moon two weeks ago. Think of all the positive changes and risks you've made and look where in your life you could make new improvements. 
Pink Moons represent the month of April and relationships. Now let's get ready to take full action under this Pink Full Moon! 

A Full Moon means the Sun and the Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. The Full Moon has a powerful mystical energetic feeling that you experience while under it's trance. For some it may be emotional and others it may make them super intense. It's bringing up that which you have to correct in yourself and in your life.
This energy is all about creating balance for yourself. The Full Moon is all about the female energy which symbolizes being emotional, a time for romance, relationships and fertilization. Under the Full Moon is when you take action towards something you visualized and desired. By doing such an act under the Full Moon you would be bringing an idea into reality, therefore, creating magic!!! So write those intentions or create your vision board this weekend! 

A Lunar Eclipse occurs when the shadow of the moon is on the earth, which happens every six months, when the Sun, Earth and Moon are completely perfectly aligned. Lunar Eclipses are powerful Full Moons that are meant to change your life! It forces you to make changes. This particular Eclipse is the shortest total Lunar Eclipse of the century. It may be the shortest but it is one of the strongest! Lunar Eclipses are all about bringing major changes in your life, as well as world news events. It's important to stay positive and calm under a Lunar Eclipse so you don't attract negative situations. But because changes are a must, don't be so quick to be so reactive to people or situations. Remember "No reaction is the best reaction"! Luckily for you this Lunar Eclipse will be more of a positive one. So get ready because this Lunar Eclipse which is also considered a Blood Moon will be all about relationships. It's a total eclipse of the heart!!! 

Being that the Sun is still in Aries you continue to have the energy of Aries lingering around so you must work on patience and being less reactive. Continue to take risks in your relationships, careers, and with yourself, all while having FAITH. 
Since this Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse are in Libra, it's all about balance and relationships. What does this all mean?
It means you have a huge opportunity for major positive changes in your life. This is the time to ask yourself what do you really want for yourself. What do you want to attract? Remember like attracts like. So if you are in a unbalanced relationship in your love life or career, this is an indication that you are unbalanced with yourself, your thoughts, actions and desires. So this is the time to create that shift. If you don't know what you want, that is okay, then ask the Universe and your angels for guidance and see what starts happening around you. The situations and people that you have in your life, are usually your answers. So if you have negative friends around you, this is a sign you must be less negative and start surrounding yourself with more positive people. That simple! 
If you are looking for a new relationship or a new job this is the perfect time to set your intentions! You will most likely get it!!! Tell the universe what you desire and just have faith it will all manifest at the most perfect time. 

This weekend it's the beginning of Passover, Good Friday, and Easter which means this is time for REBIRTH. This is a time to be grateful for all that you have right now at this very moment. If you look back to a few months ago or even a year, you will be able to see your own growth. And if you can't see it, then you need to start working on changes. You have to start being a bit more grateful towards yourself and others around you.
Because you are under a Lunar Eclipse if you don't set the intentions for change, the Universe will most likely force the change upon you, and it's usually not in a way you would have wanted. So take the initial steps today and allow room for change. Surrender your control and your thoughts to a higher source, whether it's G-d, the Universe, Divine Source or your choice of faith. Either way it's important to release all worries and stresses right now. Learn to truly have faith in yourself and a higher guidance. 

When you surrender your worries, situations and thoughts, you are allowing the Universe to work in YOUR favor. But when you are desperate and worried, you are swimming against the current. Even if you feel you are in a situation or relationship where you can't see the outcome, that's okay! TRUST yourself and the Universe. You are the creator of your success. Deepak Chopra said "I turn unpredictability into a creative possibility." Powerful words! 
Use that quote as an affirmation everyday. Work on the relationship you have with yourself. Work on the relationship you have with your loved ones. Work on the relationship you have with your work/career. Work on all these areas of your life by bringing change to them. Whether it's learning to speak up more or restricting from reacting or learning to just let go. Sometimes as human beings you hold on to people, things and situations. When in fact that "something" is ready to be let go in order to bring you what you truly need to take you to that place you've always desired. So today learn to let go! 

This Blood Moon energy is giving us an opportunity to tap into a huge shot of energy from a different dimension. You have the opportunity for Ascension. You have a gateway opened to have these magical and vivid dreams that will allow you to experience astral travel, intense psychic manifestations and even out of body experiences. Take advantage of this time to free yourself of worries and tap into the unknown. The unknown, whether it's an unknown outcome in your life or a unknown energy, is always connected to fear and it shouldn't be. Allow your unconscious mind to connect with the unknown in a welcoming way. Free yourself from being so worried and scared about your future. Welcome the magic behind the unknown! How boring would life be if you will always know what will happen or control your outcomes. Holding on does not make you stronger. Letting go is what makes you powerful and stronger! 
Joseph Campbell once said "We must let go of the life we have planned so as to accept the life that is waiting for us." 
Trust that entities and sources around you are working in your favor no matter what. TRUST that all is well because it is well. Push yourself out of your comfort zone today and just let go of fear and welcome trust and the unknown in your life today. 

I wish you all a wonderful weekend! I really hope you all take time this Friday, and all of this weekend to understand and appreciate all the sacrifices people before us did in order for us to live the life we have today. Take a moment to thank everyone in your life and those before you that paved the way. Be grateful for everything and everyone that you have in your life right now. We are blessed to be able to have the knowledge to know that we are magical and powerful beings. We can create the life we desire. Let's do so with the intention to help others along the way. 

I want to thank Nicole Sawyer one of the producers at ABC for asking me to go on her show Real Biz with Rebecca Jarvis and talk about my brand GirlieVegan and the art behind the business of Mind Body and Spirit. Was so amazing to know people are actually reading my blogs! Confirmation that if you think it, believe it, act on it, dreams do come true!

My special Starseed friends I wish you all wonderful new beginnings! I wish for us all as a collective group of souls, to join forces as one source of energy that we are, in order to uplift ourselves, others, Mother Earth and all the animals in this world to a higher frequency of LOVE. 

Like Biggie Smalls said "Damn right I like the life I live cause I went from negative to positive, and it's all good. And if you don't know, now you know!!!"
