2/18/2015

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!

Happy Valentine's Day !!!

Happy Valentine's Day my bunnies! 
Today is a day we celebrate the day of romance and unconditional LOVE! This day is dedicated to Saint Valentinus. He was an incredible Saint who was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. 
Under the rule of Claudius the Cruel, Rome was banned from all marriages and engagements. Valentine, realizing the injustice, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When he was discovered, Claudius ordered that Valentine be put to death. 

Legend has it that while in jail, Saint Valentine healed the daughter of his jailer, Asterius, who had become his friend. He left her a farewell note and signed it "From Your Valentine." Saint Valentine was sentenced to be beaten to death with clubs and to have his head cut off. The sentence was carried out on February 14th. For his great service to humanity, Valentine was named a saint after his death. 
We take today February 14th as a day in which lovers express their love for each other, although this is something that should be done on a daily basis, still take time today to honor Valentine who truly believed in the energy of LOVE. 

For those that are single, don't fret, use the energy of today to draw in your Twin Flame! Yes, that's right! 
Call upon Valentine to play cupid and get you closer to your other half. This person is out there somewhere :) 
Light a candle and ask St. Valentine to connect you to your Twin Flame. 

Use today and everyday to radiate LOVE energy and frequency from your heart chakra. Use that force to bring in love to yourself and to everyone who makes contact with you. You are responsible for the vibration you send out to everyone around you and to the world! 

Saint Valentine was a romantic soul who believed in the power of LOVE. Let's honor him today by loving ourselves a bit more and everyone in our lives including our fur babies! 

I'm sending you all tons of LOVE! Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!

Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge ~ Week 1

2/8/2015

9 Comments

In the middle of January I had such a strong pull to start something new. No coincidence since it was near the New Moon in Aquarius. So I decided to team up with Louise and give Bikram Yoga a try. My darling Starseed family I can't even begin to tell you what my first week was like, especially the first day!
If you are unfamiliar with Bikram Yoga, let me give you a quick explanation. 

It all started with Bikram Choudhury who is the founder of the Bikram Yoga system and the Yoga College of India. 
Bikram began practicing yoga at the age of four. He practiced 4-6 hours every day. At age thirteen he won the National India Yoga Championship. 
He later created Bikram Yoga. A system of yoga where he used 26 postures from the traditional Hatha Yoga and revised it in a certain order. All Bikram Yoga classes consist of 26 postures in a heated room of 104°F (40°C) with a humidity of 40% for 90 minutes.  
Bikram Choudhury has at least 1,650 yoga studios around the world. 

Years ago I attended a week worth of Bikram Yoga classes at the Bikram Yoga NYC studio on 72nd Street on Broadway. I remember being sooo excited about it and feeling so great after each class.
However, years later of course you forget certain things, like how hot it is inside that room!!!
So when I suggested to Louise that we start Bikram Yoga, she was delighted especially because this was completely new to her.
We signed up for the 30 Day Challenge on the Upper East Side on 83rd Street; and then my life changed! 

When you first walk into the Bikram Yoga NYC studio, you quickly take off your shoes and sign in at the front desk and then head over to the dressing room where you change and leave your belongings in the locker room. 

I was sooo excited my first day, I couldn't even handle it! However when you walk into the room you feel the heat so strongly but since I love the heat this was great for me especially with the crazy brutal winter in NYC. 
I placed my mat and towel on the floor and class began. After a while I was ready to pass out but realized this wasn't too bad since class was ending! Ummm correction! When I checked the clock, we were only 20 minutes in!!!!!! I almost cried my eyes out! I couldn't believe we still had 70 minutes more to go!!! WHY WHY WHY did I sign up for this??? I quickly started thinking how I was going to cancel my membership ASAP and that would be the end of it. I mean this was insane! 20 mins and I felt a whole hour had already passed by! GRRRR! 

But once we got to the Shavasana pose I was in heaven. You are basically laying on the floor looking dead. My favorite part on my first day! 
After we left the studio I realized it wasn't sooo bad after all. The bliss feeling I felt was incredible! 
90 minutes all to myself where I love and honor my body. What a feeling that was! All your problems, emotions or whatever challenge you have stays outside the room. Amazing feeling :)

On my second day I met a great teacher, Regina, who was so encouraging and just what I needed to keep me going and inspired in the teachings of Bikram Yoga! 

By the fifth day I had already fell in love with certain poses and felt my body reaching a new point. 
I was thinking clearer and was just in a state of bliss! 

If you are thinking of taking a Bikram Yoga class in your town I highly recommend it. 

And here are a few tips I picked up my first week: 
  • Always bring a 20oz bottle of water inside the class.
  • You can add electrolytes to your water. Because you sweat so much in class you are losing electrically charged alkaline minerals, such as Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium. If you are feeling dizzy, nauseous and even numbness in your body this is a sign you are low in sodium. 
  • Adding fresh organic lemons to your water also helps keep you hydrated. 
  • Organic coconut water is also ideal to add electrolytes to your body.
  • Change your diet to where you add more foods with Potassium and Magnesium: Beans, Sweet Potato, Banana, Tomato, Spinach, Beets, Peanut Butter, Chickpeas, Broccoli, Swiss Chard, Beet Greens, Pumpkin Seeds, Almonds, Cashews, Avocado, Quinoa and any leafy green vegetable. 
  • You can also purchase a vegan Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc Supplement and make sure the intake is at least 400mg a day in Magnesium. That's what your body needs in order to stay hydrated during Bikram Yoga class. Trader Joe's sells a all-in-one vegan Magnesium supplement that also has Zinc and Calcium. 
  • Always stare at the mirror and keep your focus on yourself during class. Focus is key to really pushing your self past your comfort zone.

By day 7 I felt like a pro and could feel my body completely different. I felt different over all! What a great feeling that is!!! I encourage everyone to take a step towards a healthier lifestyle and truly honor yourself by loving yourself. 
We have four bodies that make us who we are: Emotional, Spiritual, Mental and Physical. 
Just like with energy healing, with Bikram Yoga you truly use all four bodies! 
Namaste ~

February 2015 Adventurous Full Moon in Leo

2/3/2015

0 Comments

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015 at 6:09pm EST enters the Full Moon in Leo while the Sun is in Aquarius. 
This is a very bright Full Moon to say the least! Make sure to take great pictures! 
February is an exciting month because it's the month of LOVE! It's all about love this month and not just about loving others but most importantly loving yourself! Take time every day to love yourself! Honor yourself! 
I am sooo excited for this Full Moon in Leo since I was born with a Leo rising and tend to be kind of a Leo at times!
This is the month you also welcome the year of the Goat/Sheep in Chinese Astrology. My Feng Shui people are usually in heaven during this time of year! 

Full Moons are all about emotions. It's a female energy which represents a time of romance, fertilization and relationships. Whatever was started during a New Moon will be fulfilled during a Full Moon. 
A Full Moon reminds us that the Sun and Moon are in opposite zodiac signs. 
This the perfect time to take action towards something you've desired and wanted. This is the time to be creative. 

This is an interesting mix with the Full Moon in Leo and the Sun in Aquarius since Leo is fire and Aquarius is air. 
Leo is the middle fire sign and they always have to be in the middle. Leo loves to be the center of attention and this is where they perform and feel the best. Leo rules the Sun and just like the Sun, Leo is stable and radiant and helps to keep others under control. Leo always makes their presence known and are steady and dependable. 
Aquarius is the last and highest air element. Aquarius is the powerful force that makes the world go around.
It has the power to change areas and it does. Aquarius are all about originality and changes. Aquarius seeks understanding and knocking down any barriers. They are very unpredictable and seek truth at all times. 
Aquarius is the most advanced thinker of the zodiac and is concerned with advancing civilization and the future of this earth. 

During this Full Moon in Leo the energy is all about the balance between everything that is personal and everything that is impersonal. The Leo Moon is all about being able to express yourself as an individual with a creative flare and uplifting yourself which you will feel you receive from romance and pleasure. While the Aquarius Sun is all about being in groups and dealing with impersonal relationships and friendships. 
So you can see where this Full Moon in Leo might just be a tad bit emotional as you will need to find a balance between friendships and romance and still being able to express yourself as an individual. 
It sounds like a tug of war! Good Luck! 

This is the time of revelations and illuminations so be aware of things you asked about during the New Moon because now during this Full Moon they will be revealed. New feelings and revelations of truth always bring on strong emotions. So whatever you discover or is revealed to you make sure to express yourself in a healthy way. It's extremely important to express your feelings as you don't want them bottled up therefore causing a physical illness down the line. Express yourself in a healthy way. Try exercise, energy healing, swimming or even yoga! 

This week you may feel divided due to the Full Moon in Leo but these feelings can teach you more about your needs than you expect. You may find people around you may be a little bit more charming and energetic even if they are shy. They will feel the need to be heard and seen. So don't be alarmed :) Go ahead and do something nice for others. Perhaps treat your supervisor or boss to a yummy vegan cupcake or surprise them with something unexpected. For your loved ones at home show them that extra care by treating them to something they've been wanting. Spend more time playing with your fur child. Animals always need that extra attention and love from you.

Aquarius peeps: You may find that this isn't an easy time for you, so let others take the chances this time, you just relax and take notes ;)
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Pisces peeps: Really think about mercury retrograde and be mindful when traveling or deciding to purchase a new digital gadget. Make sure not to over spend this month! 

This is the month of LOVE so show everyone around you some LOVE! My single peeps don't stress over Valentine's Day and see it as a day where you have a chance to love and honor yourself! Spend it with other friends who are single and throw a singles party! My coupled peeps make sure to spend it with your loved one and remind yourself why you love this person and be grateful they are in your life and then share that love with others! 

Wishing you a fabulous Full Moon in Leo! May you set your intentions and affirmations tonight so you can manifest all your desires in 2015. If emotions are running high for you as of the past few days and even today then make sure to take a spiritual bath tonight along with candles and incense and write your intentions using your emotions!
