Sunday, May 3rd at 11:42pm ET enters the Full Moon in Scorpio. It is also a Flower moon. 
This Full Moon in Scorpio is going to be extremely magical as well as the rest of the month!!! It is the most powerful manifestation cycle thus far. It is also right after the energy of Beltane!
Mercury Retrograde will be back on May 18th (on the new moon) thru June 11th. 

Most of you may have already felt some intense energy around you since the beginning of the week. That's because this Full Moon is packed with a lot of emotional energy!
 
Full Moons are all about illuminating what is hidden from you. Sometimes you are aware but ignore the issue so our lovely Full Moon makes sure that it shines light on the situation, so you can handle it and move on. 
Because the Full Moon exposes all truth, it is the perfect time to set your new intentions and goals. Make sure to write them down. If you do not know what you want, then ask the moon to help guide you. Ask for guidance to help you get rid of bad habits, thoughts or feelings. Full Moon is a female energy and is all about romance, fertilization and relationships. The Full Moon can either make you feel extremely emotional or extremely intense. 
Start paying attention how your mood changes a few days before and after the Full Moon so you can see what you have to work on or how you can benefit from this energy. The Full Moon means the Sun and the Moon are in opposite zodiac signs.

This Full Moon occurring in May is called a Flower Moon. Since April showers bring May flowers this is exactly why it's called the Flower Moon. Under a Flower Moon, which the energy will last the whole month of May, is the perfect time to work on commitments, both in spirit and love. This month make sure to put yourself first and allow yourself some "me" time. This is a form of loving and honoring yourself. If you are single, make sure to put yourself out there and be a lot more social. If you are dating or in a relationship, this is the month to work on taking your relationship to the next level! 

The month of May is all about love, beauty, healing and balance. What a great month this will be for you! 
Starting with Beltane which was on May 1st and also known as the May Day festival. It is considered to be the halfway between spring equinox and summer solstice. Beltane marks the beginning of summer. Rituals and bonfires were used to protect people from natural and supernatural events. This was a time where people were eager to experience growth not only for their crops but within themselves. Today, people from all over the world celebrate Beltane with bonfires and other fun rituals.

The Full Moon in Scorpio will request that you create balance between yourself and others. The energy of Taurus is about you. Taking care and loving yourself in order to help others. Taurus love beauty, romance and healing. Scorpios are about others. They love mysteries, sex, controlling and are very complex. Taurus is a very positive sign connected to light while Scorpio is more of a negative sign and doesn't fear the dark. Having both Taurus and Scorpio connecting this month is quite powerful. According to Benjamin Franklin, you need negative electrons and positive protons to create electrical charge. 
So use the energy of Taurus and Scorpio to manifest your desires! You will experience tons of light in dark places. Scorpio is a very passionate sign so use that passion in a positive constructive way. This Full Moon you will see a lot of truth being exposed because Scorpio is all about truth. Pluto is Scorpio's ruling planet. Pluto represents power. So this month you have to see how you are using your power to help yourself and others around you. 

Taurus on the other hand tend to be stubborn so you have to see where in your life you are being stubborn and just release the situation or the person. You have to learn to trust your higher self and your higher power that all will be well and that divine source is working in your favor.
Scorpio is pretty intense, doesn't forgive easily and holds on to grudges. See where in your life you are not forgiving someone and let it all go. Perhaps you are not forgiving yourself. Learn to just release and let it all go. You will feel a weight lifted off your shoulders when you learn the beauty of forgiveness. 
Because this month is all about healing make sure not to sit on your feelings. Express how you truly feel. If you are a reactive person, practice restriction, and if you are a shy person, learn to speak up. If you need help, ask for it and be honest about it. It's important you express your feelings because if not, the Full Moon will make sure you do, but in an emotional intense way! 
Learn to balance the energies this month by being honest with yourself and others about what you truly desire. 

This month is also about the energy of love! It's such a romantic month so make sure to start by loving yourself. 
Spend time meditating, working out, doing yoga, massage, energy healing, spa day, sitting in the park, playing with your fur child, anything that requires you to spend alone time with yourself is the right way to go! 
This energy of love will also attract others in your life. If you are single, this is the month to attend that friend's birthday party you were trying to avoid. You never know who you may meet out there. Stay open to receive new romance and you will! Believe!!! If you are dating someone you truly like, get ready to make it official! And if you are in a current relationship this is the time to take your relationship to the next level. You may even find yourself traveling with your sweetie somewhere. All in the name of LOVE! So get ready to receive love this month.
 
Finances also come into play this month since Taurus is all about money. Being an earth sign it rules money money money! This month there will be major focus on finance and career. Scorpio gives you that passion to go after what you want. Perfect balance yet again! Just be careful not to overspend, be wise with your finances. 
Since this is the most powerful manifestation cycle of the year make sure to aim high and set those intentions. This would be an excellent time to start a vision board. 
If you are waiting to hear from a new job, think positive because you can manifest the job and salary you desire! 

Just like the flowers that are blooming this month you have huge potential to manifest all your desires. 
You are starting a new you this month. It's a month to fall in love and be happy!! Share that love with others.
Let love shine this month and heal yourself! Release all that doesn't serve you.
This is a happy month filled with love, beauty, romance and healing. So make the most of it! 

In life when you think you are in a dark place, you are alone, no one understands you, you feel misunderstood, you feel judged, you worry about your financial situation, your job, your relationship, that's when you have to trust the light of the creator the most. Why? Because if you allow yourself to truly open your eyes, you will see that it is all an illusion. Nothing is real. Push yourself to awaken and realize that all is not what it seems to be.
You are the director, writer, actor in your own movie. Through your thoughts, words and actions, you co-create the life you have. The energy you put out to the world, is exactly the energy that comes back to you. So why not send positive thoughts and positive energy to the world? Try your best to not get stuck on only entertaining the dimension you live in now which is about length, width and depth but instead open yourself up to realizing that there is a whole huge universe out there with different dimensions that are different facets of what we perceive to be reality.Go beyond the parallel universe theory! Dig deeper this month :)
You will then realize that it is only you who holds the key to all the chains around your soul. What you do with that key is only your choice. 

I wish you all a magical manifesting powerful loving month my bunnies!!! May you all receive love, light, happiness, health and success! This is the month to create the life you desire!!! It's the month to fall in love with yourself and others! Let LOVE shine!!!

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.

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.

This Friday it's a New Moon, Solar Eclipse, SuperMoon, Spring Equinox and It's a new astrological year. Should I continue?! It's indeed an extremely powerful and magical day! Probably the MOST important day of the year!!! 

Friday, March 20th, 2015 at 5:36amET enters a New Moon in Pisces. This New Moon enters at the last ending hour of Pisces. After an hour Aries arrives. Once Aries enters, it will be the new calendar year in Astrology! It's considered a New Year :) So for the next 12 days starting Friday at sundown each day will represent a sign of the zodiac. Friday at sundown until Saturday at sundown will be Aries day, Saturday at sundown until Sunday at sundown will be Taurus, etc...We will have the ability to tap into that sign's energy and correct ourselves from their negative traits that day. 

If some of you have been feeling emotional, disoriented, extremely cray cray or if some of you have been feeling positive with a new outlook in life, or changing your thought patterns to a healthier lifestyle, it's all due to Friday's new energy coming in full force.
All my clients since last weekend have been feeling all the emotions I just mentioned. During this time it's perfect to get a healing session done. Energy healing is so powerful and much needed during transformational energy like the one we will have on Friday in order to keep us balanced, remove negative energies and raise our frequencies.

When the Moon is new, the Sun and Moon are aligned in the same zodiac sign. This means that the energy is completely concentrated on that particular sign. New Moons represent new beginnings. The New Moon is a time to plant your seeds for the future, an energetic portal to pull in what you'd like to manifest. When setting your intentions, being very clear on what it is you want to manifest in your life, is crucial during a New Moon. If you are not clear or don't know what it is you want, that's okay, instead ask for help in the forgiveness, sharing, confidence, courage, or awakening department. That's always a good thing! 

A SuperMoon is when the moon is at its closest point to Earth. The Earth, Moon and Sun are all in a line with the Moon in its nearest approach to Earth. It is also said that a SuperMoon can create a bit of chaos in the world from wildfires, storms, major floods to even earthquakes and volcanos going haywire. 
SuperMoons are also huge for amplifying the intensity of the moon it falls under. 

A Solar Eclipse is when the moon is in between the Sun and the Earth and blocks the light of the Sun from the Earth. Spiritually the Solar Eclipse creates extra energy for the New Moon, therefore making the New Moon so much more powerful. Events or situations that are triggered by an eclipse usually take 6 months to fully unfold. This is a time when you have powerful opportunities to break old habits or belief systems and begin to make major life changes. Eclipses are about endings and new beginnings. How you see yourself is how you are perceived by others in the outside world. All this energy affect your personal and business relationships.  

Spring Equinox is when the center of the Sun is in the same plane as the Earth's equator. Day and night have approximately equal length. Spring Equinox make the days longer. An Equinox occurs twice a year.
Spring Equinox is when we celebrate as a time a time of beginning and renewal. It is connected to Easter and Passover. Rebirth in all aspects of your life. 

Since this New Moon occurs in late Pisces the Solar Eclipse will be in Pisces. Which means you will still feel the Pisces energy lingering around. Pisces are the most psychic, emotional, sensitive sign there is. 
They are all about imagination, service, dreams and compassion. So all these feelings will come into focus around this time. This is also a time for acceptance, letting go of things/people and accepting who you are, what you have and taking a leap of faith. Just dive right into it! This an opportunity for new beginnings! 
Take a deep breath, relax and mean what you say, because an hour later Aries moon kicks in and patience will be part of this moon cycle. The energy of Aries is a strong one. My Aries peeps are very impulsive, have no concept of the word patience and are extremely selfish. Yesss, I said it!!! Impulsive, reactive, impatient and selfish! BUT at the same time they are the first zodiac sign so they are extremely fearless, brave and love with all their heart. So all of you my darlings will feel all these emotions along with the Pisces energy. 

This Friday is such a powerful and magical day so use it wisely for your own good and for the sake of sharing with others around you. 
Eclipses always bring a significant change. This particular one is all about testing your faith. It will put an end to an old belief system. The planet becomes very active during a Solar Eclipse so portals from all different dimensions will open up their gateways for you to create complete change in your life. Use this energy to uplift your frequencies and create a life you have always desired. Use the frequencies to heal your mind, body and soul. 
Keep in mind that change in all aspects of your life is always a great thing. Anywhere from thoughts, lifestyle, food, health, career, family, manner, dress, goal and desires should have a shift in your life. It's about awakening and having awareness!
Do your absolute best to avoid being reactive and react to situations that are in the end out of your control. Avoid arguments at all cost. The only way to control your surroundings is by making the choice of shifting your thoughts to a positive one. Like attracts like. 
You have a huge opportunity Friday to set your intentions and write out exactly what you desire. You will manifest it!
You have the choice of creating a new life for yourself of wonderful and positive opportunities. There are no limits. You can create the life you want. It's important that you understand the powerful light you own inside of yourself. Let it shine!
You will be tested in areas of your life where Aries falls into your astrological chart. You may feel fearful or doubtful but don't give in. It's all an illusion, you're being tested. Have faith! This is exactly where you have the MOST potential to expand your consciousness, grow and transform your life. Some of you will feel the need to start over, move, new job, new relationships (friends and lovers), heck even making up with family members! But this is when you have to center yourself and be clear about what you want and take that leap of faith and go for it! Change is always positive no matter the process or the outcome. 

Starting now, make sure to not act on impulse, let go of negativity, create change in your life and belief system, have patience and faith, practice restriction, and share with not only your loved ones but with people you don't expect anything from. That's true growth! Have the intentions to receive for the sake of sharing with others! 

Ostara is the Spring Goddess which is connected to Easter and Passover so I thought it would be appropriate to honor her with a little fun ritual during the Spring Equinox New Moon:

Items you will need:
Small Black Candle
Small White Candle
Small Yellow or Green Candle
2 sheets of paper
Black Pen
Any colored Pen (not black)
Incense or sage
Ashtray

• Using your black pen write down on top of the sheet of paper "BE GONE" here you will list all the items you want gone out of your life. Habits, feelings, issues, situations, etc...Place the list under your black candle
• Take a bath or shower to cleanse away any negative vibrations.
• Using your "Pink" pen write down on top of the other sheet of paper "REBIRTH" here you will list all your goals, desires or anything you want to change for the greater good. Make sure your list starts with I AM and not I wish, I should, or I hope...those words have negative vibrations. Place your list under white candle.
• Light your black candle, white candle and incense/sage. Take the incense/sage and walk around the room with it to clear out any negative vibrations. Make sure to have a window or a door a slight bit open. 
• Take your negative list and use the black candle to sit it afire and throw the list in the ashtray while you say: "What once was will never be. I'm making room for the new me. Be gone, be gone! So let it be and so it is!" 
•  After the negative list is fully burnt, set your positive list afire with the white candle and quickly use the burning list to light your yellow or green candle and throw the burning list in the ashtray.
• Now looking at your yellow or green candle say: "Let me feel, Let me see, Now reborn in positivity, As I hatch into spring, Let all good things now come in. In perfect love and in perfect trust, with harm to none. So let it be and so it is!"
• Now look at your candle and meditate for a moment. When you're done make sure to throw away the ashes outside your home into the wind or outside your window but make sure the ashes don't come back in to the house. Make sure all your candles are, of course, turned off.

Take time to write out your intentions this Friday. Make the choice to create a new life. If you are desiring your twin flame to come into your life, new job, new career, new friends, new thought patterns, new anything, this is the time to do so. This is the time in your life, on a universal level, where you can expand your consciousness and have faith that all is as it should be. Know that the Universe is always working in your favor. Act as if the Universe and G-D has rigged it all in your favor! Have Faith this month in knowing all is manifesting in order for you to share your light with the world!

Friday is the day a lot of people will be receiving energy healing so make sure to email me at [email protected] to schedule your session. You don't have to live in the same town to experience a powerful session. Most my clients are in different states and countries and they feel it just as strong if not stronger than my in person clients. 

Take a leap of faith and try something new today. Stay positive my darlings! Smile in the mirror, say your affirmations, greet strangers with your smile and above all be compassionate and kind with total grace.

Namaste~

Week 3 of a 30 Day Challenge is far from easy! At this point you feel like you love what you are doing but challenges arise. You ask yourself "Why I am doing this?!" and then you let it go because you realize you're shifting something inside your body, mind and spirit...

By week 3 I was already loving my new routine! After a day of doing meditations, working with clients doing distance & in person energy healing/coachings and meetings, I would run off to the Bikram Yoga studio in the Upper East Side with my friend Louise. By the time we were done we would run home and eat. Then it's all about answering emails, texts, calls, playing with the fur babies and then sleep. I had no time for social life outside of healing and yoga!!! Yoga is everything!!!

Doing the Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge in week 3 definitely made me happy that I was more than half way there but I started having a few issues. The week before my shoulders and neck were tense but this week my knees started hurting! My knees were hurting so bad during class the entire week BUT I didn't give up. 
I spoke to a couple of teachers that explained to me what a great sign that was. Meant my body was changing! 

Kathryn Leary being one of the teachers to bring me comfort and ease regarding my knees. OMG that rhymes! haha
She explained that Bikram Yoga is designed to help you change the alignment of your body so therefore I was creating change within my body. So that was exciting to hear! 
I enjoyed Kathryn's soft and gentle way of teaching while adding complete humor making us forget we were all in a heated room of 104 degrees. I also loved her Buddha quotes at the end of the class while we are all in Shavasana pose (laying flat on our mats). 

Natalia Maldonado is another teacher who poised such great love for yoga. Her style of teaching was so inspiring because she never seemed tired. Natalia has such a bubbly-hyped-up type of personality. She was upbeat every step of the way. She also kept the perfect pace so you never even realized you were in the room for an hour and a half! By the time she was done I couldn't believe class was over. I loved the fact that she took time to correct each of us and showed us how to do it better. Her energy was definitely gracious, kind and loving. I vote for Natalia! 

By the ending of week 3 I realized I may have a little issue going on. I was sleeping and dreaming about yoga poses and phrases like "Lock your knees, lock your knees, and change", I think I am obsessed much! 
All I talk about is yoga and the poses and demonstrate them to friends anytime, anywhere. It's insane!!!! 
I am hoping the yoga fever will some how calm down a bit because it's a little over the top in my world right now! 
I mean I am turning down date night because I don't want to miss a day of yoga! Hellooo! Help! haha

I will end this week's yoga blog with a wonderful quote that Kathryn Leary always shares in class and now it's one of my fave quotes: 
"Swim with the current, swim against the current, float down stream or give up and drown? It is you who makes the choice. The river just is." 

If you are thinking of starting yoga I highly recommend it! If you are in NYC I highly recommend the Upper East Side Bikram Yoga NYC studio.

Last night I went to the Zohar Connection at the Kabbalah Centre in NYC. 
I love that place. It's where I had an amazing spiritual awakening in the beginning of my spiritual journey. 
Every Tuesday night they have The Zohar Connection with Eitan Yardeni. It's the consciousness portion of the week from The Zohar. 

This week's portion of The Zohar prepares us for the energy of Passover which is in two weeks. This week is about cleansing our own negativity. 
During this time we have to connect with sacrifice and see the animal self in us, in other words, our bad ego. 

When fighting your ego, doing what is uncomfortable and fighting negativity, it's important to do so with the consciousness knowing it's to get closer to the light. 
If you fight your ego just for the sake of fighting negativity and not connecting to the consciousness part, then it will be draining. Shift your consciousness to knowing it's to get closer to the light. You must enjoy the process of breaking your ego, if not, what's the point?!

Another important lesson for everyone this week is to understand that all that is brought as a burnt sacrifice is male and not female, because the burnt sacrifice rises above the heart. 
Thought is higher than the Heart. It is known what is above the heart - Namely Thought - for thought, Chochmah is considered male and the Heart is considered female, Namely Binah. This is the secret of the understanding Heart as it receives from Chohmah. 

Chochmah = Mind
Binah = Heart

So in other words, your mind is what sends the signal to your heart. Why your thought patterns are so important!

Now knowing this information, use it to help you transform your consciousness by changing your belief system. 
The following are steps that equal your consciousness.

Consciousness: 
1. Belief system
2. Desires/Intentions
3. Thoughts

Here are examples of different belief systems:

Satan
I love and respect myself only if I accomplish
VS
Soul
I love and respect myself for who I am

Satan
When I don't receive approval from others it makes me feel empty and insecure
VS
Soul
I feel the light in me even when others do not

Satan
When I recognize negativity in me I feel vulnerable and disconnected
VS
Soul
When I recognize negativity in me I celebrate the opportunity to get closer to the light

Satan
When things don't go my way I don't feel secure and protected
VS
Soul
When I do my best to connect to the light I feel the guidance and protection of the light at all times

Satan
If I completely open myself to love I will feel vulnerable
VS
Soul
Giving love and warmth will bring love and joy in my life

Satan
Receiving for myself alone gives me pleasure and security
VS
Soul
Giving and receiving for the sake of sharing brings me lasting fulfillment

Pick two examples that you connect too and work on transforming them from the Satan belief system to your Soul belief system. 
If you think you don't connect to any, well then, that's your bad ego talking! 
After you have done this on your own you should try this exercise with a friend and both share which belief system you have been attached to and you both can work on shifting your consciousness. 

Use the DNA of the Soul letters above and scan them from right to left. Stare at the letters for 10 seconds and then close your eyes and meditate on them with the consciousness that you are transforming your old belief system to your new belief system. 

Everything we do has to be done with love! Purify the mind. 

And there you have it! The consciousness portion of the week! 
Make sure to apply and share with your friends. 
When you receive light and knowledge it's important to receive for the sake of sharing!!! 

This Friday is extremely powerful! Be on the look out for the New Moon post in the next two days! 
A lot of information on such a transformational day. It's the New Year in astrology!

The Full Moon in Virgo is here and it enters on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at 1:05pm. 
This Full Moon is known as the Mini-Moon because it's the smallest Full Moon in 2015. 
It also falls under the energy of Purim. A day of salvation and celebration for all Kabbalist. 
The Sun is in Pisces until March 20th, Mercury in Aquarius until March 12th, Venus in Aries until March 17th, Mars in Aries until March 31st, Saturn is still transiting in Sagittarius, Jupiter in Leo and Uranus still in Aries. 
The last New Moon on February 18th was beyond powerful! I am sure some of you have noticed quite a few things were manifested rather quickly! I was on a fabulous trip in Sedona heading down to the International UFO Congress in Fountain Hills, Arizona with some friends when I asked the new moon to release any negative people/situation around me that I couldn't see where negative. And within 24hrs (BOOM!), I was released from a negative situation! AH-Mazing how the energy in Sedona under the New Moon works. I love it! 
I had the BEST time in Arizona and can't wait to share about my experience in a few days :)

As most of you already know, if you have been reading my stuff for awhile, the Full Moon means the Sun and Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. The Full Moon represents female energy, a time for romance, fertilization and a high state of emotions all over the place. It's an emotional time! 
The Full Moon brings you guidance and messages in regards to your desires and intentions that were set under the new moon. This is the perfect time to act on something you've visualized and desired. By doing such an act under the Full Moon, you would be bringing an idea into reality. You're creating magic! 

Since the Full Moon is in Virgo and the Sun in Pisces, this month you will feel the need to find balance in every aspect of your life. Virgo is more organized, likes to stick to a routine, hard working, into physical health and nutrition, likes natural things, (did I mention workaholics?), love to research things and are detail-oriented. Virgos are also very set in their ways. Talk about stubborn! Pisces on the other hand, are more dreamy, intuitive, compassionate, a bit spacey but that's because they are tuned in to a higher purpose in life. They have such a deep love for all of humanity and want to truly help others. They are very open minded. Pisces also get caught up in the suffering mode. 
So what does this mean for you? Well, basically it's all about finding balance! 
You will feel the energy and desires from both Virgo and Pisces. You will feel the need to want to work hard towards your dream goal and career but at the same time you want to be of service to others in life. You will want to criticize others yet you will want to accept others for you who they really are. You will want to stick to your usual routine but now you will feel inspired to try new things. Balance your logic and your emotions. 
All this wishy-washy energy you may feel, it's only to push your consciousness to grow one level higher. Your soul is asking for you to allow it to raise its frequencies. This is your chance to create a new life that is free of limitations and create a life that knows no fear. You have an opportunity under this Full Moon to shift your emotions into something positive and learn to accept and love yourself at this very moment for who you are. You are a beautiful creation of G-D and of the Universe. You are here to share your light to help and assist others who want to come into a consciousness shift. 
Work hard this month to shift your energy from wishy-washy into positive thinking and take one action a day toward helping someone else and towards your own goals in life. One action a day makes a big difference. 
Some of you are already riding this positive wave and are making things happen for yourself. You're becoming a leader. Keep it up! Keep manifesting the life you desire. Your angels and spirit guides are all supporting you. 
Turn every challenge into an opportunity of growth. 

This Full Moon you may receive news from old flames from the past or friends that were not so nice, so if these people were toxic and drained you, then stick to your guns and keep it moving. But if it's someone you feel you can still learn and grow with, then make an effort to forgive them. Forgiveness is a big theme in the month of March. 
We have the energy of Purim which begins the evening of Wednesday, March 4th and ends the evening of March 5th.
Use all this energy of the Full Moon and Purim to bring healing towards yourself. No one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but if you can connect with your inner self and let go of any pettiness, you can find forgiveness in yourself, therefore making it easier to forgive others. Full Moons are used to release things, people and habits. So release it all! 
Like I said, if the person/situation drained you and was toxic, you should still forgive but you don't have to forget ;) 
Either way work on yourself to truly forgive yourself and others around you. This will help you with shifting your consciousness to a whole new level. Use the energy of Pisces to think outside the box and try new things: yoga, healing, card readings, cosmic energy. Do your research! 

Full Moons are all about releasing things from your life and you can also use it to manifest things! 
Here are some cool fun rituals to do by yourself or with your friends for the Full Moon: 

Releasing Ritual:

• Write on different paper slips the addiction, behavior, person or situation you want to release.
• Create a sacred space and make sure to sage the area. 
• Ask your angels, spirit guides, masters, loved ones from the other side to be present. 
• Light one or more candles. 
• Feel the energy around you.
• Read the words on the paper slip out loud. End it with: "BE GONE"! 
• After you've read each slip, set the intention of releasing it from your life. 
• Set the paper on fire.

If you live in a house and have a backyard or live by the beach then you can have a bonfire and throw the slips of paper in there. But if you live in an apartment, then you can set the paper over the candle and let it burn. Of course make sure to do this by a sink or a tub, I don't want your apartment going on fire and then blame me!!! 

• Make sure to thank your angels and spirit guides. 
• Make sure to put out the fire afterwards. 

Manifesting Ritual:

• Get a white candle (green if you want money/renewal, pink for love/healing, red for passion/victory) 
• Carve into the candle your desires. Write it out. 
• Hold the candle into your hands and visualize your desires as they are already happening.
• Visualize all your desires in that candle and feel those emotions.
• Light the candle and let it burn entirely. 
• Have certainty that while it is burning it's sending your desires to the Universe for you to receive. 
• Now see it all Manifest soon enough. 

Whether you are releasing or manifesting, make sure to always end your rituals with a gratitude prayer to the Full Moon goddess: 
"Full Moon I love you. Thank you for being present. I am grateful for you shining your light upon me and others on this planet. Thank you for shining your light on all of my desires. May your energy and light assist my desires to manifest (or release) all for my highest and greater good. Let it be and so it is. THANK YOU!" 

Now that you know that this Full Moon in Virgo is pretty powerful, make sure to make the best of it. 
This Virgo-Pisces axis is a perfect combination to get inspired to create new changes in your life. 
Make it a priority to do at least one thing in service to someone else. Call a friend, a loved one or a complete stranger and ask them how you can help them make their dream come true. One thing that you do towards this person to help make their dreams come true, will have such an impact on your life, theirs and in the world. 
All it takes is one act of kindness! PAY IT FORWARD this month. 

I would love to hear from some of you all about the weekend of February 21-22 if it was a romantic one or if you met someone extremely special or got engaged or married. Like I wrote on the previous new moon blog it was the weekend Venus and Mars met and kissed! So it was a major deal world wide! 
Please share you story! 
I know it was a special weekend for me!!! ;) 

Be loving, be patient, be kind to others around you this month.

Doing a 30 Day Challenge is definitely a challenge but it can also be so rewarding everyday you are doing it. 
It takes 21 days to make or break a habit. So having wrapped up week 2, I feel awesome! 
By the beginning of week two, I had learned that I had caused a bit of a ruckus (of course!) at the studio without even knowing. The wonderful evening manager Yelena finally told me that they had been looking for me all week because I wasn't signing in at the front desk everyday. I thought you only did so on your first day and since I signed up every day online I didn't know. Oppsie!!! 

By now I have totally fallen in love with yoga. There is so much to it then just doing a pose. You receive so many health benefits from each pose, it's amazing. Not to mention you open all your chakras and release negativity! 
Before I share with you some of the health benefits, I want to quickly thank some of the amazing teachers I have had some classes with that have truly shared their light with me in a special way. Their patience and love towards teaching the class completely inspired me to keep going! 

John Mabry being one of them. His energy is just so calming and kind. I love how he gives compliments to each of the students completely uplifting and encouraging us to keep going. When I see his name on the schedule my face lights up :) Plus he's completely handsome! 

Olivia Anselmo is another amazing special teacher who takes the craft of yoga to a place of love. Her energy is so special as well. She took the time to guide me after class due to some tension I had around my neck. She showed me a trick to do at home in order to release all the knots I have in the back of my shoulders. I think it's time for a massage! 
Olivia also hosts these wonderful retreats to Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica which is one of the planet Earth's 5 Blue Zones. On these retreats you get to meditate, practice Yoga, have fun and do other yogi spiritual things. 
I will definitely be adding that to my list of places I plan to visit soon! 
For more info on the trip visit: www.corinneandolivia.com/retreats

Health benefits you receive from Bikram Yoga: 

• Helps with lower back pain, hip and back pain, chemical imbalances in the system
• Constipation, colitis constipation, small and large intestines, exercise the colon, pancreas and kidney
• Helps abdominal obesity, diabetes, thyroid, blood and sugar balance
• Strengthens weak joints
• Helps with arthritis, knee problems and gout pain 

And of course the list goes on, but at least you can have an overall idea! 
This is week 2 but I already feel my body taking a different form. I feel a whole lot lighter and I now enjoy the sense of sweat dripping off my body. I know, sounds insane, but it's a great sign that toxins are leaving my system! 

Thinking of doing Bikram Yoga? Go for it!! Check your local town for the nearest Bikram Yoga studio. 
If you're in NYC I highly recommend Bikram Yoga NYC www.bikramyoganyc.com

Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 6:47pm EST a New Moon-Super Moon-Black Moon enters Aquarius a minute shy from entering Pisces. Yes it's that intense in an amazing way. We will be entering a New Moon at the end of Aquarius at exactly one minute from entering Pisces. Here we have the opportunity to tap into the Aquarius energy along with all that Pisces has to offer. Best of both worlds! 
I'm writing to you all from the magical world of Sedona, Arizona so this post has been infused with tons of magnetic manifesting energy! 

A New Moon represents new beginnings. A time to set intentions and plant your seeds for the future. It's when the Sun and the Moon are in the same sign. Always write down your intentions after the New Moon has entered. In this case means right after 6:47pm EST go ahead and meditate on what you desire along with sending healing energy to the world and those in need. 

This New Moon is so special because it will create a huge urge in your soul to connect with your sisterhood and brotherhood. You will feel a sudden urge to connect with friends, start new projects, feel the need to do charity work or do something kind for someone else. Perhaps question your own beliefs regarding everything that is around you.
Meaning start thinking outside the box.
 You will start receiving new ideas on how to approach all your challenges in your life with a more positive outlook.
This is the perfect time to set the foundation for trying all that is new. Been thinking of learning a new language? Go for it! This is the time to start that 30 Day Challenge you have been wanting to do. You have the energy of Aquarius still helping you. 

On February 22nd Venus and Mars will meet and kiss each other! So this means that LOVE is in the air for you!!
Venus represents the female energy and Mars the male energy. And on this day both planets will meet creating the perfect LOVE day! 
If you are in a relationship with yourself this means you will be able to meet someone of your liking on the weekend of February 21-22. You will have a massive opportunity to meet your Twin Flame! So make sure to step outside and put that vibe out there. 
If you are in a relationship with your special someone then this is your Valentine's Day part duex! Get ready to feel more loved on this day.
Venus and Mars will be working for you on this weekend! 

On February 19th it's the Chinese New Year, a new beginning for the Feng Shui energy.
It's the year of the Wood Sheep. 
Sheep is a kind, sweet, loving, generous soul. Home is very important to Sheep. So make sure to do a spring cleaning now during this New Moon energy to move out any blocked energy in your home and life. 
Add plants to your home and to your diet. Pick up your favorite plant and place it in your home. Add more green veggies to your diet to cleanse out your body of any toxins. 
Sheep love beauty, so make sure to treat yourself this year by honoring your body, mind, spirit and emotions. 
Perhaps take that vacation you have been so desiring to take. You have the Sheep year supporting your every move. Sheep work better when they have the support of others around them but they can also be sensitive and desire quiet time. So make time to socialize, connect and learn from your peers but also take time to do some soul searching of your own and truly connect with who you are as a person. You are special and need to feel and know this. 

So as you can see this rest of the month is pretty amazing and packed with lots of new beginnings. You have an opportunity to try new things, spend time with others and find your inner self in that process. 
During the New Moon make time to connect with your spiritual friends that offer the positive energy you have been seeking and truly take time to learn from them. Ask what a Kundalini is if you don't know! 
Bonding with your friends that are also on this path will help you elevate your soul to that next level. 
Take time to fall in love with yourself, Mother Earth and that special someone. Feel the love, joy and gratitude for having the ability to sit with this now moment. The past and future are not of importance but this beautiful present moment that you have right now is all that matters. 

My darlings I send you all loving energy from Sedona and may we all understand this year that we are all ONE on this journey I call LOVE! Feel the blessing of knowing that you are evolved enough to know the difference between light and dark. Let there be light where there is dark. Together we can create peace, love and harmony in a world that needs us all right now. 
I send you all love! And for those that are in pain and in need, know that we are all uplifting you now at this very moment. 
I LOVE YOU!
