# 2 – Oh I love hearing news like this! Not only are we starting to recognize theamazing healing properties of certain mushrooms, it turns out that little schroomies could be the eco-friendly answer to some major environmental issues…
# 3 – For the next 24 hours you can experience Arc of Lightfor free (BTW, I’m listening to it as I type this and it’s lovely!)…
This personal attunement music was conceived and performed around the Spring vernal equinox, on which day and night are of equal length. This highly charged event represents the continued rebirth of nature, both physically and spiritually. The intent of Arc of Light is to remind ourselves of our connection to our higher source and our need to heal and uplift the consciousness of the universe.
This bio-sonic music is performed on sacred global instruments and and is tuned and correlated to the lower and upper octaves of electro magnetic radiation. This incorporates color (light), fragrance, as well as the movements of the planets and other geo-physical phenomenon. By utilizing instruments for their psycho-spiritual properties, Brian is able to elicit the power of emotion, resonance and entrainment, thus developing a synergistic approach to bring about the coherence of our Human Energy Field.
This Bio-Sonic music can re-pattern our brains and nervous system, as well as the endocrine glands and corresponding chakras. Arc of Light acts as a wave guide for consciousness with the power to slow down of time and increase our awareness of our true selves.
This Bio-Sonic album comes in 2 parts, both 30 minutes long. Today you can hear one part, Passage of Peace, for FREE
The album contains no brainwave entrainment – can be heard anytime, anyplace …and by anyone!
When you are really in the flow with your Inner Being, ideas come easily—they are implemented easily. It’s fun while you are in the process of them, and it doesn’t matter how they unfold; and nothing can go wrong, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t get it done, it’s just fun to do it. Your Inner Being feels no limit. So, anything that feels like limits is something that you have self-imposed.—Abraham

# 2 – An insightful article from Tami Brunk at astrologyforearthrenewal.com about the potent period we are in right now and the astrological forces at play…
Are you feeling the intensity yet? Have you experienced anything unusual in the past few days or week? Thank Uranus and Pluto—they have been rapidly approaching a square, which will be exact today (Monday, May 20) at 3:02 pm MDT. This is big news, very big. It is one of those massive cycles that we can look back on in a decade and say yes—this was the period that initiated the most revolutionary, transformational changes in our world.
The cycle began with the first exact square between Pluto and Uranus on June 24, 2012. It will officially end with the final exact square in March of 2015. Yet the dynamic is felt several years prior and after, much as the Pluto Uranus conjunctions of 1965-1966 marked the center of one of the tumultuous and transformative eras in modern history.
This Uranus Pluto square is, in fact, the second movement of that ’65-66 cycle. We look back and the 60’s now and see an era of widespread awakening and upheaval—as well as great polarization between those who were waking up to the breakdown of our modern civilization and claiming a new path forward—and those who feared change and upheaval, favoring security and the status quo.
We live in a similar moment, after 50 years wrestling with the deeper questions that emerged at that time. Pluto asserts that we must face what we have most deeply feared, that we must collectively continue this process of death and rebirth, a composting of modern humanity’s assemblage point. Pluto is in Capricorn and so we are all having to “die to” our old ways of using time, energy, resources (yes—money!) so that new ways can emerge within us—like new plants sprouting from composted soil.
Uranus wakes us up in a big way, breaking apart the old beliefs, the old consciousness, the old limitations that would otherwise stunt our growth and evolution. It opens our minds, it stirs our desire for freedom and new possibility. It raises the vibration, raises the stakes, helps us in seeing that we are powerful creators of a new reality, that we are the pioneers and world changers we have been seeking for so long.
It is significant that this Pluto Uranus square is joined by a Venus Chiron square (today) and will be followed by Mercury square Chiron tomorrow. We have been feeling Pluto Uranus in the background for some time now, like the rumbling of thunder at a distance signaling a storm, shaking the earth beneath our feet. At this moment, when the energy is at a peak, we are in Chiron’s realm. We are acutely aware of how far our own lives and actions fall short of the possibilities our spirits long for.
We might feel how far humanity is from where we need to be, in order to shift our economy and culture from consumerist and extractive, to creative and regenerative. It’s okay to feel what we are feeling. It’s okay to acknowledge that under the surface our hearts have been breaking. See and accept what is real and true in your consciousness at this time, even if it hurts. Stand on the firmest foundation you can, which is the capacity to accept life, to accept yourself, to accept humanity and Earth itself, as it is right now, in this moment.
Understand also that the pain you feel comes in part from the limitation in your understanding of how change and transformation actually take place. Recognize what the original people always knew—that we must act deliberately, slowly, and with reverence for life, if we wish to live in balance with it. It is natural, and part of the deeper healing to feel pain and sorrow, as we see all the ways we have separated ourselves from our hearts, from those we love, from a full receiving of the beauty of our Earth and the others who inhabit it.
When we allow ourselves to sorrow, and to be broken open, we are made humble and clear, so that we can move forward from the center of our being, from the heart. We come to feel lighter because we acknowledge the burdens we’ve been carrying all along.
I will write much more of this Pluto Uranus square, as it will continue to be triggered in the months to come. For now, take a deep breath, and ask yourself—am I afraid to be awake? If so, why? Is there a hidden fear that rules my life and sucks out all of my life force energy, that I must face and embrace so that I claim my full personal power? Am I willing to be shaken out of my old, stuck and painful places, so that I can live a life of greater freedom, passion, and color?
Ready or not, we are waking up. We are facing the fears that have kept us immobilized. Bless all that you do that elevates you, and those you love. Bless the fact that you feel things, that you care. Bless the reality that you can change and grow. And bless the reality that we are in this together, that we have so many tools we have gathered to help us ground, and move forward with love in our hearts, and courage in our spirit.

Wow, I just heard about an event that Hay House is hosting June 1st through the 10th and it sounds like a doozie. The summit will bring together 110 (yes, 110!) world-renowned experts from the personal growth field who will be sharing practical, applicable ways in which they incorporate their teachings in their own lives and how you can do the same. The line-up of presentors includes Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks, Marianne Williamson, Anita Moorjani, Don Miguel Ruiz, Gregg Braden, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch and Michael Bernard Beckwith. And the whole thing is FREE! Sign up now and you will also gain access to 6 pre-event videos featuring Esther Hicks, Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue and others.
# 2 – Go here and get a free download of the first 4 chapters of David Cameron Gikandi’s A Happy Pocket Full of Money book. A great read and no sign up necessary.
BTW, I ended up leaving a comment on the page saying I would also add the word “try” to Jeff’s list….to me it’s a little like “but”…already hedging your bets and paving the way for the possibility of not doing what you’re saying you’re going to try to do.
I would also lump “mistake” in there with “failure.” Will be glad when those two words and point of view start vanishing from our vocabularies and way of thinking. Often what on the surface may feel like, look like, or be judged as a mistake, ends up being something that catapults us forward or causes us to re-align ourselves and change and grow. If we were doing the best we could in the moment, and it (the “mistake” or “failure”) helped us learn what we’d do differently in the future, then is it really a mistake or a choice that brought growth and increased clarity?
Also, someone named David left a comment on the blog that contained a neat tip you may want to try…
“Really great post! Here’s a really cool thing I read somewhere: While saying “I can’t”, do something very simple that you know you can do. For example, hold your breath for 10 seconds, or anything else you CAN do, for a very short time. Then, increase the time, maybe by another 10 seconds, all the while saying “I can’t _____”. It acts like “negative” therapy, and it tricks your brain. After a while, you realize that saying “I can’t” doesn’t really mean anything.”
# 4 – All of you out there that have a message to share may be interested in this innvitation to a free call with Peggy McColl…
Once you’ve gone to all the trouble of writing a book it just makes sense to put in the little extra effort it takes to make it a bestseller. In fact it’s almost ESSENTIAL for anyone hoping to turn their book, their message, into a solid income-producing career of coaching, public speaking, and further publishing success.
You see … a book, by itself, is not a business. But when you can add “best-selling author” to your resume, you throw open the doors of possibility. The trouble is most authors have no clue how to do it! (And don’t expect your publisher to show you – most of THEM don’t know how, either.) But Peggy McColl sure does.
And on Tuesday, May 21st at 2pm or 7pm EST, you can join Peggy as she explains not only how to make YOUR book a bestseller (whether you’ve written it yet, or not) … but also how to use your new bestseller status as a springboard for spreading your message through speaking engagements, coaching programs, and more.…and hopefully make a VERY comfortable living from it, too! (As she does.)
If you’d like to see how it’s done, simply use this link to visit the registration page. (Yes, you do need to register even though it’s free because attendance is limited.)
You’ll also find more details on this event there, too.
Hit #1 spot on Amazon.com!
“Peggy is absolutely brilliant at what she does. She was the lead player in a campaign that saw The Saint, The Surfer and The CEO rise to the #1 spot on Amazon within hours. Listen to what she says — she’s a master.”- Robin Sharma, Bestselling Author of “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari”
# 5 – And from Abraham…
“Let your alignment (with Well-Being) be first and foremost, and let everything else be secondary. And not only will you have an eternally joyous journey, but everything you have ever imagined will flow effortlessly into your experience. There is nothing you cannot be or do or have—but your dominant intent is to be joyful. The doing and the having will come into alignment once you get that one down.”
—Abraham

# 3 – We’re in the middle of an extraordinarily potent and transformative time period, astrologically-speaking, and to help explain why, here’s some info from Chris Flisher of http://www.chrisflisher.com about…
“The Time of the Signs”
As we enter into an intense period of forthcoming planetary activity we will have the perfect opportunity to see if the outer planets do, in fact, hold sway over our evolution. This poses an interesting question, especially for those who are on the fence about astrology. It may be easy to cast off astrology as silly, but what happens when it is accurate? What happens when you read your weekly report and it happens to be true? How do you explain themes in your life? And how can an astrologer know so much detail about you with a few simple facts about time and place? What then?
Astrologers were talking about many of our current events over two decades ago when we saw the entry of Pluto into Capricorn as a time when many of our biggest, most trusted structures would, in fact, crumble and either be rebuilt, or vanish. Things we once thought of as unshakeable have come under duress and are now falling down. This is classic Pluto in Capricorn activity. Pluto is the great transformer and, when in Capricorn, a cardinal earth sign, we can expect (as predicted) that large structures, institutions, and foundational entities to fall away and are no longer the secure structures we once thought. We have seen this repeatedly over the last decade as the banking industry, the government, the church, and other large institutions have come under much tighter scrutiny as they show their true colors with so much hidden, for so many years. We were duped. However, the truth always prevails. This is a universal fact and not the credo of any religious, political or philosophical view. Truth is basic and common to all. So where does that leave us?
This planetary activity is accompanied by the presence of Uranus in the sign of Aries. Since Aries is a cardinal sign (fire) it sits in a 90 degree angle to Pluto in Capricorn (cardinal earth). If we look at the astrology chart or wheel we see the current lineup of planets. Pluto is at 90 degrees to Uranus. This geometric relationship represents a challenge, or a step up. The 90 degree angle is one of the basic elements of architecture and all human structure. A simple set of stairs are constructed with 90 degree angles. The step is the best way to envision the challenges. As we move up the stair, lifting ourselves, we make progress through work and forward, upward motion. This is astrology.
What is the role of the planets in our daily lives? Many believe that they do nothing, and yet they are the only real constant that we have in our cosmic neighborhood. They have been there forever and their position does correlate with history, cycles, and recurring themes. In their inter-relationship we begin to see patterns that suggest a logical order and a predictable timing of events. When the Sun and Moon move into the sign of Cancer this summer we will again see another 90 degree angle of cancer (cardinal water) to Aries (cardinal fire) and opposing Pluto at 180 degrees. Events are triggered by the sharp angles and again, we take a step.
This is also true when an astrology chart is cast, based on birth date/place/time. Themes do exist in our lives and they are apparent from the time of our birth. We are born with characteristics, personalities, assets and liabilities, all of which, present us with unique challenges and opportunities. Whether we choose to acknowledge them in terms of time and place is the line between what we see as real and that which we see as impossible. When we stretch our minds to entertain that which may appear unlikely, we may be surprised by a universal logic that supersedes our limited view. This is verifiable each and every week as we see events unfold in a pattern related to the motion of our universe. This is the time of the signs.
Week of May 6th
A dramatic week ahead as a new Moon Solar eclipse occurs at 19 degrees Taurus. Eclipses bring all sorts of corrections and surprises our way. This particular eclipse finds fiery Mars, talkative Mercury, and of course our emotional well-spring, the Moon, deep in the middle of the Taurus event. We can expect the rhetoric to be quite inflaming and even hostile. Again, stubborn is the word. Cold, hard facts are immoveable. This is an incredibly fervent area where the problems that brought us here may have come to a screeching halt. The train is coming off the tracks and the responsibility lies in the hands of the large banks. They must be held accountable for the economic mess they have wrought on the world’s financial security. The bubble has been falsely inflated and we may wake up to find that the bubble has popped. What does that look like? How does this machine keep on working? Will there be transparency? How do we repair this?
(For more about this eclipse period and how it may be impacting your particular sun sign, check out Susan Miller’s Astrology Zone, a tip I got by way of Kaneitha at Heavenly Guidance.)
# 4 - A heart-warming story of the difference one person made in two dogs lives and a way you can support the cause…
“Take the time to line up the Energy first, and action becomes inconsequential. If you don’t take the time to line up the Energy, if you don’t find the feeling place of what you’re looking for, not enough action in the world will make any difference.”—Abraham
(FYI, writing a vision is a great way to line up the energy. See my Visioning page for more on how this process can help you create more of what you want in life.)
