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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Chochmah = Mind
Binah = Heart

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

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

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

Here are examples of different belief systems:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Releasing Ritual:

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

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

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

Manifesting Ritual:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Health benefits you receive from Bikram Yoga: 

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

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

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