It's week 6 in The Omer Count: Yesod.
This week's energy is all about the foundation and bonding in life. The previous 5 weeks we learned about love, discipline, compassion, humility and endurance. 

This week Karen Berg explains that Yesod is the channel of spiritual and physical sustenance, the link between the Upper and Lower Worlds. She goes on to explain that Joseph the Righteous, the son of Jacob, was a man who chose to never become a victim of his reality, despite the fact that he was kidnapped, betrayed, wrongly imprisoned, separated from his father and seduced by another man's wife. Joseph never lost sight of his inner spirituality. He always said "I know that wherever I am, there is a reason for my being here."
Karen Berg wants us to understand on the most profound level that when something happens to us now, it means that somewhere along the line, we did or said something (whether in this lifetime or a past one) that set the stage for our current circumstances. Our ability to move forward can be sparked by the understanding that (1.) wherever I am, there is a reason for me being there, and (2.) this experience is offering me another chance to take 100% responsibility for my experience and reconnect to God. 
She ends this week's portion with explaining that Joseph saw every negativity, every uncomfortable situation, even every mistake that he made, as an opportunity to awaken the Light that was inside of him. By doing the same, we can build our own spirituality, become a channel for others, and have a freedom that we couldn't expect before.

What does this all mean to us? This means that this week's energy is all about the bonding you have with yourself and others. Bonding is the ultimate emotional connection. Bonding is the foundation of life. The previous 5 weeks every quality connected to the week's energy was based on your individual connection but this week it's about understanding that without bonding no feeling can be truly realized. Bonding channels all five previous qualities into a solid bond, giving it the meaning foundation. Bonding is eternal. It's that connection you devote yourself to with yourself, your spiritual connection, mother and child, husband and wife, brother and sister, close friends. It's about allowing yourself to trust in yourself and trust in others. It creates a sense of confidence, a sense of belonging, that "I matter" and "I am meaningful". 

This week's energy of bonding and foundation is connected to our Sacral chakra. 
Our sacral chakra is our relationship area. So no coincidence there. 
When your sacral chakra is blocked, you will feel angry, resentful, stressed, unable to let go of a person/situation, you will not be trusting, you will have intimacy issues, addiction problems, and have stomach issues. 
When your sacral chakra is cleansed, you will be able to forgive, let go, surrender, trust, feel happy, experience new beginnings, be able to create boundaries with others and have healthy relationships with your loved ones. 
Make sure to envision an orange bubble around your stomach area going inside and clearing your sacral chakra. 

Week 6 is all about creating a stronger bond with others. So make sure to take time this week to connect with your loved ones and go out of your way to show them you care. If you have an individual in your life that you need healing with, this is the week to open the door for the relationship to heal. Use this week's energy to heal any misunderstandings you have with anyone. You will feel so much better in the end. 

Take time to bond with your furry friends. Animals have such a healing energy to them. And when you truly bond with animals you are able to raise your frequency levels to a whole new dimension. You will be able to heal others and heal yourself. Animals have such high frequency levels of energy that it's truly inspiring.
When you can connect to yourself, others, animals and earth, it's the ultimate connection to the oneness universe consciousness. It's only then that bonding will be constructive and everlasting. 

There you have it my friends! This week is all about the LOVE in your connections to others. You cannot bond without the power of love. If you can't have love towards someone in your life at the moment, ask yourself why and dig deep. 
Are you expressing yourself with love?

This week make sure to think of one person you need to forgive and one person who you need to apologize too. Initiate the contact with love. 
Then find one friend and one family member and show an act of love towards this person. 

I wish you all a wonderful week filled with love, bonding and setting your foundation of life. 

Week 6  is over on Saturday at sundown. 

Namaste bunnies!

It's week 5 in The Omer Count: Hod.
In the past 4 weeks of the 7 weeks of Spirituality we have dealt with the energies of: Mercy, Judgment, Beauty and Victory. Now this week it's all about Majesty. 
Karen Berg explains to us this week that the energy is about the ability to transform judgment into loving-kindness. She explains how this week our work is to transform all the uncomfortable, difficult moments that we come up against into moments of loving-kindness and realignment with our soul. When we learn how to have harmony within ourselves and peace and contentment with life, we can become a greater force of kindness in this world. Loved when she explained that sometimes we are so busy beating ourselves up in the darkness that we forget we are a spark of Divine Light.
Karen made huge sense regarding the energy of transformation when she said that the greatest amount of positivity will always come from the negative side. Rabbi Akiva, one of the purest souls  to ever walk the earth, came from the seed of Cain who was known for both envy and murder. The deepest and most profound transformation cannot come from someone who is born of goodness or has done only good things all his life. To become a soul like Rabbi Akiva, we have to work hard for it on the spiritual path, and in order to work for it, we need to be certain that at our very core, our essence is pure Light.

This all means to me that this week we have a huge portal of energy to create transformation in our lives. But with that comes situations being exposed that we may not like but it's the light giving us guidance in what it is we need to transform and correct. 
Hod is also connected to the energy of Humility. So this week not only are we making transformation happen but the fuel behind last week's energy of Victory is humility. Transformation can't occur without the fuel of humility. 
Humility is the silent partner of endurance. Its strength is in its silence. Humility should not be confused with weakness and lack of self-esteem. Humility is an acknowledgement to the light of the creator, to Divine Source. It's about acknowledging that your strengths and talents come from a higher place, gives you the power to endure far beyond your own perceived capacity. 

When you are so selfish and just into yourself and all about yourself, your cup is full therefore you are not allowing any room for growth or manifestations to occur. When you humble yourself and realize it's not all about you in this world and it's about helping others, animals and the earth, you then empty your cup and allow for more to come in. Humility is the key to reaching beyond yourself, the key to creating a life without any limitations. Humility is the key to finding out who you truly are. 
If you ever meet someone who you think is a goody two shoes, don't compare or judge them. Just know that in order for them to have had a huge transformation in their life, they came from a very dark place. But if you meet someone who thinks they are perfect, don't apply judgment either, just send them light because if they would apply humility they would know they wouldn't be in a better place had they not been in a dark alley. 

The chakra connected to this week's energy of humility and transformation is again our Solar Plexus. 
We know from last's week post that the solar plexus is connected to our confidence area. When this area is blocked we suffer from low self-esteem and have a lot of fear behind everything. 
The solar plexus is about our identity and inner true self. So make sure to work on meditating and directing the energy to uplift your solar plexus. When it's balanced and cleared you will feel empowered and strong. 

There is so much energy this week between the Full Moon and the energy of transformation and humility that we must truly see all of this as a gift. We have the ability to take whatever situation we are stressed about and turn it over by taking responsibility for our thoughts, intentions and actions. We have the power to truly transform everything in our lives by knowing we have the choice to create a better situation by acknowledging where this power truly comes from. We are not alone in this journey. We have an amazing universe that is attached to so many angels, beings, spirit guides and divine source that lives within us and around us everyday. 

We have to work hard in learning to truly help others and go out of our way to ask our friends, family, loved ones and strangers how they are doing. And truly stretch yourself and ask "How can I be of service to you?" and by doing one act of kindness you are creating a ripple of effect throughout this one person, community and world. 

I truly and humbly wish you all a beautiful week filled with lots of growth and humility. Remember you are not alone and you have others like myself here to help you on your new journey. We are all connected from the same spark of energy! I love you! 

Week 5 is over on Saturday at sundown. 

Namaste bunnies!

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.

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!!!

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!
