The spring equinox (also called the vernal equinox), is defined as the moment the sun's most direct rays shine on the equator. It is also when there is "nearly" equal 12 hours of light and darkness for everyone on Earth.

This year, the spring equinox occurs tomorrow, Friday, March 20, at 10:46 a.m. EDT.

This is the true beginning when resolutions make sense, when we can plant seeds literally and figuratively to help our lives blossom and nurture the expression of our full potential.

Join me this Saturday for a three and a half-hour experiential workshop when we help align your unique inner compass with natural and astrological cycles to map your vision for the next 12 moon cycles.

Saturday, March 21st
2:00-5:30pm

This class includes meditation, intuition practices and journaling. We will begin by drawing a self-mastery card to receive insights into the theme for "the year."

What to Bring:

* Journal or notebook and your favorite pen
* Your own snacks (optional but in case of dietary considerations)

Suggested Contribution:
$75-$125 ←You choose
Includes a light refreshments

This is an image from an 1899 teaching manual of the subtle anatomy.

Last week, in our Journey Through the Chakras, we explored the root or base chakra (Muladhara). Tonight, Thursday, January 29th, 7:30pm EST, we will explore the sacral chakra (Svadhistana).

The close up is of the sacral chakra, Svadhistana, where the forces that make up being a human being abide.

Teaching diagrams like this use symbols to convey meaning.

Do you see in the center an elephant on a white bird?

This is the elephant-headed god Ganesha sitting "in lotus" on Paramahamsa, the supreme white swan. Ganesha is the gatekeeper of subconscious memory -karma and past lives, where the past influences the present. Paramahamsa, the soul, can separate milk from water, symbolizing the ability to discern truth from illusion, comfortable in both the world of form and spirit.

The ancient eastern practitioners used symbols to point to the energies that govern and influence each part of our subtle body's anatomy.

Notice the 6 petals of the lotus. Each petal points to a mutable force of influence in that part of our energetic anatomy.

praśraya - Attachment or Indulgence (giving in to cravings)
sarvanāśa - arrogance leading to self-sabotage
aviśvāsa - distrust or suspicion
avajñā - contempt, disdain or indifference
mūrcchā - ignorance or delusion
krūratā - anger, ruthlessnes or even cruelty

The western teachings whittle them down to; Anger, Jealousy, Cruelty, Hatred, Pride, Desire/lust

The master-teacher would point to the seed syllable in a petal and ask, "how are you doing with this?"

Ganesha governs these energies. We can not bypass them.

We can either get stuck here, or be carried on the wings of our wise soul

The sacral energy center governs our creativity, passion, emotions, friendships and romantic relationships, sensuality, fertility and abundance.

How are you doing with these?

Feeling stuck?

You are not stuck, but energy might be.

Things that make you go, hmmm 🤔

The New Jersey Department of of Health is proposing changes to the health code on Communicable Diseases.

A small local grassroots team took the time to go through the 302-page document and in summary, the code changes normalize and make permanent the worst of what we experienced during the "pandemic" and effectively turn NJ into a bio-surveillance state making the health commissioner more powerful than any governor in office.

Right now, the proposed code changes are up for public comment. You can read sample comments here:
https://standforhealthfreedom.com/nj-doh/

The public comment period has already been open for a month. There is one more month to go -the comment period ends November 14th.

The good news:
* Over 200 comments have already been submitted to the DOH pushing back on what is clearly over-reach by the administrative branch (aka "shadow government")
* Legislators have written directly to the acting commissioner asserting the proposed code changes be pulled, and for transparency in the form of public hearings.
* Widespread coverage by concerned citizens and local media.

This is deeply concerning. Are you ready to turn some tables?

NJ was able to protect religious exemption in time for the "pandemic" even when other states could not.

Here are detailed instructions on how you can do your part: https://njstandsup.org/stop-health-code-changes

Put questions in the comment section or DM me. I'm happy to talk you through it.
