Winter Solstice 2012/Doomsday 12/21/12

 

At 6:12 a.m. standard eastern time should of been the end of the world as predicted by the ancient Myans. Thankfully we spared and life as we know it goes on. Another great thing is also going on today, December 21, 2012.

"The winter solstice celebrates the return of hope to our land as our planet experiences the first slow turn toward greater daylight. Soon we will welcome the return of the sun and the coming of springtime. As we do so, let us remember and embrace the positive, enriching aspects of winter's darkness.

Again, the winter solstice time is the shortest day of the year, when the energies of the “night” temporarily overcome the day. This is the time to avoid letting yourself dwell on stuff, and don’t become morbid or reflect in a negative way upon your life, because that will draw in some of the yucky “ghoul” energies which always like to mess with people at this time of year. Honor your natural inst...incts, which will generally be to relax, reflect, and be still. This is a time to meditate on this past year and all that you’ve experienced, to make peace with the past, and to resolve to keep hope alive through the coming winter months. Some ideas to meditate on include: strength, willpower, protection, wisdom, clarity, and faith. Give thanks for the darkness which is the yin to the yang of light. Think of how soothing darkness is when you are exhausted and want to take nap. Recall how irritated you were in a hotel or motel where you could not block out the bright lights from outside when you wanted to sleep.

In the heart of every person on this Earth
burns the spark of luminous goodness;
in no heart is there total darkness.
May we who have celebrated this winter solstice,
by our lives and service, by our prayers and love,
call forth from one another the light and the love
that is hidden in every heart.

 Happy Winter Solstice!! Love and Light

Ive been going back and forth with which stone would be my next purchase. And when i bought this one it wasnt planned either. I had been in a bunch of shops that evening , not seeing anything i really wanted when i seen it sitting in a basket. It drew my attention right over to it and as soon as i picked it up, i felt connected to it. So just like you would picking out a crystal, i applied the same method and connected with this yellow-y orange gem. Heres some reasons why this is such an amazing stone to add to your life. Citrine and the yellow ray loosens your hold on all that no longer serves you, so that you may progress to the next higher state of being. Citrine unwinds tension and increases flexibility in the cells, organs, and body as a whole, thereby encouraging your body to relax and move into greater alignment. Citrine gradually opens inner hearing. It helps you fulfill your spiritual potential by encouraging you to embrace ever-higher states of consciousness.

 

 

Benefits of Wearing a Therapeutic Citrine Jewlery

Citrine prepares your body, emotions, and mind to accept a greater flow of the yellow color ray. The yellow ray is the aspect of the life force that helps us release what no longer serves us and to accept what we need in order to move to the next higher state. This aspect of Citrine also has a greater overall purpose—to help you fulfill your spiritual potential by encouraging you to embrace ever-higher states of consciousness.

Citrine works to loosen blockages and increase flexibility through the wave-like motion characteristic of the yellow ray. Citrine works gradually, one step at a time, to increase flexibility on a cellular level. This flexibility enhances the ability of the substances within a cell to move around as required—either within the cell or through the cell membrane. These substances can include the cell's organelles and fluids. Any intracellular processes that require movement are also enhanced and made more efficient.

If enough Citrine is worn over an adequate length of time, this flexibility will begin to extend beyond the cellular level to the organs and organ systems to which the cells belong. Most obvious will be Citrine's effect on the muscular system. After wearing a Citrine necklace for a while, you may find that you can stretch a little farther.

As a living organism, the body wants all its components to be in proper alignment. When any component is out of alignment, the flow of life force that keeps the body alive and gives it spiritual sustenance diminishes. As the body ages, it grows more and more out of alignment. Citrine can help the body—at any age—relax to the point where the life force can rush in, take hold, and move the physical body into a healthier state of alignment.

Citrine’s ability to loosen blockages and increase flexibility can be felt as a stirring or unwinding effect. This unwinding supports Citrine’s ability to move the body into greater alignment. When worn as a necklace, Citrine unwinds the entire body, especially the stomach chakra. If the stomach chakra is stuck or tightly shut, the Citrine will gently massage it and encourage it to open.

In someone with a yellow-ray deficiency, emotions are often out of balance. By providing yellow-ray nourishment, Citrine fosters awareness of one’s emotional center. Thus, Citrine can greatly benefit those who react in emotional extremes or whose emotional nature lacks balance.

"The Stone of Love and Devotion"

Not only is this January's and my oldest daughters birthstone, it can also be used in matters of healing and protection. There are many beliefs in the power garnet has over not just physical health, but mental health as well. Garnets virtues have been long believed to include passion, true friendship, fidelity, success, self esteem, loyalty, devotion, energy, faith, consistency, and truth. The stone also sharpens your perception of yourself and other people you encounter. Long ago, garnets were claimed to help the wearer resist melancholy and warn off evil spirits, especially spirits of the night which were referred to as demons and night phantoms. Today we might interpret this as a stone that can ward off nightmares:) The garnet is also an ancient symbol of friendship. In the past, garnets have been exchanged between parting friends to symbolize their affection and to ensure that they meet again. In some circles of belief, it is said that a garnet’s magic cannot be accessed unless the stone has been cut and polished. Garnet has been believed to be extremely beneficial in the realm of business as well. The stone causes people to be attracted to the wearer, which aids in business, as well as in personal success. It is especially beneficial to those people whose business is people-oriented. The stone is an ideal choice for people who are entering new realms, for example, people who are moving to a new city. Furthermore, the garnet aids in giving strength to the business minded person. Any sort of crisis is turned into challenge under the garnet’s influence.

<3 For the Ladies~ Garnet also has many virtues when it comes to love and sex as there is a strong aspect of sexual and sensual energy in garnets. The stone is said to balance the sex drive. It supposedly aids in sexual potency and fertility, brings out sexual attraction and frees ones sensual side to release passion and love. Garnet moves a couple deeper into a passionate and sensual exploration of sexual magic. The stone inspires commitment, monogamous and stable marriage, and promises one’s love, devotion, and fidelity with surety. It can also aid in finding true lovers.



Metaphysical:

• Friendship / Fellowship: This stone makes you very attractive to other people by bringing out your best qualities. Many people new in recovery experience loneliness as they change "People, Places, and Things". Many need to form new friendships and associations. This stone can help attract new friends, who will be attracted to you for who you really are.
• Romantic: A passionate gemstone that inspires love and mutual attraction. Enhances libido (physical desire) as well as balances the wearer's sexual energy (drive).
• Isolation: Many people in Recovery have been loners all their life, often isolated and feeling misunderstood. This stone will help to attract like-minded people to you.
• Balance. It provides a stable, balanced connection between the physical, the spiritual, and the nervous system. It both monitors and adjusts the flow of energy, providing for a balanced energy field around the physical body, and aligning the emotional, and the intellectual bodies with the perfect vibration of a Higher Power.

Garnet is the stone of passion and courage. Stimulates devotion to your family, your friends, yourself, and your purpose or goals . Garnett will stimulate the senses, and increase your vitality and stamina.

How having positive thinking can lead to success and happiness

Studies show that people who participate in Positive Thinking lead more successful and happier lives than people who don’t. The biggest difference between Success and Failure is that root of that person’s attitude. If you believe in being successful, you will be and if you believe you will fail then you will fail too. To help you with your challenges and obstacles in life here are some motivational tips to keep you on track to success.

1. Surround Yourself With Positive & Motivating People - They say that success is built on the foundation of surrounding yourself with successful and like minded individuals in business. The same process can be applied in Positive Thinking Motivation. Positive Energy is contagious and you will want to keep your environment and entourage filled with Positive people.
2. Gratitude - Incorporating gratitude in you life greatly improves you becoming more happy and content in your life. Realizing first that you must be thankful for what you have and to be happy with what you have will put you in a position of already achieving happiness. If you are always complaining about things you don’t have then you will never be happy. Be grateful and be blessed.
3. Start Your Day By Envisioning Success – Everyday start your day by envisioning your goals that you want to accomplish for that day and empowering yourself in being successful. Start by getting into the habit of already achieving success by first envisioning it. You want to be in a winners mindset each day rather than starting your day off with a negative spin. Just because you woke up on the wrong side of the bed in the morning, turn it around by envisioning a successful rest of the day.
4. Persistence – Michael Jordan has missed over 9,000 shots in his career and Thomas Edison performed 50,000 experiments before he succeeded in producing a light bulb. Failures is the biggest downfall for most people where they give up too easily and think just because they failed a few times, it’s impossible. Success is only failure turned upside down, we learn to be the best by learning from our mistakes and growing from them. Do not give up, push yourself to the limit and go above and beyond that. Stay focused on the goal at hand and don’t miss out on opportunities by giving up, that extra effort, that extra try may be the winning ticket to success.
5. Be a Leader – Don’t just sit on the sidelines waiting for the world to change and expecting others to change for your benefit. Grab success by its horns and take charge. Go out and be the leader where you can inspire others to become positive and productive too. Having people becoming inspired and being a role model for excellence will also help you establish in surrounding yourself with successful people. Don’t wait for things to happen, go out and make things happen.
6. Goal Setting – Have a plan for success. Set your goals on a daily piece of paper and plan out your priorities from the top to bottom. Finish each task before starting another. With long term goals plan out a vision board and business plan for the rest of the year. Having goals outlined in your life will give the drive and motivation you need to become happy and successful in life.
7. Work Out & Eat Right – In order to take care of yourself on the inside you must also reflect wise decisions on the outside. Eating healthy and working out will keep in you a great state of being more productive and help maintain an active mind. You will become less groggy and more focused in concentration. A great anecdotal evidence to cure for writer’s block has always been going for a long walk, run, or hitting the gym most would tell you.

Welcome to the 2012 NFL Season!

Considering K and I are both football fans, it's only right we post tonight about NFL season kickoff! Now I am a Dallas Cowboys girl whole hearted and K is a New England Patriots girl through and through. Tonight my Cowboys took on the reigning Super Bowl champs the New York Giants and of course my 'boys took it home and WON!! Whooo-hoooo!! So being in the season of football I wanted to talk a little about Fantasy Football. Most guys will tell you that a girl can like football, not a problem, but know enough to participate and actually do good in a fantasy league.....no way!! Hey guess what?? I'm in a fantasy football league!! Oh and my Mom is the commissioner of her league! Therefore we both must know a thing or two about football. Guys, it's really not that hard to do a little research on these players and create a roster based on the best players. I'm pretty sure even a child can be a part of a fantasy football league so don't consider yourself to be a football genius if you are in one!! I love every part of being a part of this age old tradition and I love love love football season!!
