Equinox

A previous version of this was published as Balancing Balance, 2014

     For many Spiritual Seekers, a search for balance entered with the Millennium. Extreme imbalance has gripped the world with the ongoing need to live with COVID-19; there is new emphasis on finding a balance with which we can live safely and comfortably.

This week the Northern Hemisphere is crossing the Autumnal Equinox. As the north enjoys the festival of Mabon, south of the equator this is Ostara.

Life: Boiled or Scrambled?

     It is possible to engage in an emotional response when presented with a boiled egg for breakfast. 

We can wish it was a poached egg, and get sad or angry about it. 

We can spin off into emotional response over the fact that we prefer to walk the dog before breakfast and the timing is all wrong for this. 

We can be afraid that it is not correctly cooked inside, and speculate all sorts of negative possibilities, (without ever looking inside), imagining it sloppy a...

It has been a year since ‘business and usual’ was suspended in favour of prolonging the lives of people. What began with closures, suspensions, delays and postponements rapidly evolved into the realization that the world had changed, and would not change back. 

Like other people I am approaching the anniversary of my last foray out into the world.

I say fortunate because I am able to remain safely in my home, and avoid any risk of being exposed to the virus. I am partic...

2020 September

     The Four Energy of 2020** is greatly amplified during September. As the Ninth month, September adds with the Four of the year, creating a Thirteen. Adding the One and Three together we arrive at Four, once more.
     The month is set to lead us into additional building, securing the foundations on which to build the future. As the Nine concludes cycle, there will be endings and completions, which will leave space for even more foundations, and the plans to construct somethin...

Energetic
In monotheistic religions like Christianity, the label God is given to a supreme, omnipresent being who created and rules the universe. In other religions a god is a superhuman spirit or deity, believed to have power over nature and human lives, and worshipped or entreated in exchange for favours. 

Beyond the personification that enables storytelling and histories, there is a single, energetic phenomenon in the universe that has been labelled in many ways.
Depending on the location ...

Numbers and Chakras
A Chakra is a centre of spiritual power in the human body. It is an aspect of human identity which cannot be seen or touched. 
According to yoga tradition there are seven Chakras, located in a line from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Each is associated with a colour, and a specific energy.
When the Number Cycle is imposed on the Chakra system, it expands the series to include all nine digits. This means that the Earth Chakra below the feet is included, and...

Water



    The Water Cycle is an elementary/primary school lesson that never loses relevance.  It is notable today because World Water Day, is observed around the World on March 22, and the media are talking about it: discussions which often focus on contamination, floods, erosion and drought.

     I was contemplating the Water Cycle and I realised that all physical life on Earth is organised into self-renewing cycles, and while water may not be a living entity, it is a vital part of all li...

The Freedom of Spirit

       When we, immortal and eternal souls, arrive in the physical world, commencing our Human Experience, we get labeled according to obvious physical attributes. 
   
  Yet we are not merely physical beings, and even before we have spoken language, we are able to access the unseen Emotional Plane. We feel when we are safe and when we aren't. We recognize the physical senses like hunger and cold, and can feel fear if nothing happens to feed and warm us. We are capable of f...

Empathy for Empaths

    The story was told by a woman who had been a child in the back seat. She was alone with the driver when the vehicle hit an immovable object.
    Thanks to surgeries and casts and braces and the wonders of modern medical science, they both survived.
    I am fortunate to have no direct experience of an ...

Be Like a Tree

Learning Together

     This week marks the 65th anniversary of the reign of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama who was born in 1935. His Holiness is a rare example of a person who is the acknowledged reincarnation of an identified individual.

Finding the Dalai Lama

    In 1935, the monks searching for the newest incarnation of the Dalai Lama were led, through synchronistic signs and oracles, to a particular province; then to a specific monastery there; and finally to a small fam...

Teacher and Teachings

     Dr. Wayne Dyer made his transition out of the physical realm this week. He has been an important teacher for me, and I have no reason to think that will change.

     I was away from home when I heard the news. When I returned, there on my desk was was my copy of his book Living the Wisdom of the Tao: The Complete Tao Te Ching and Affirmations. On my bedside table is my unread copy of Wishes Fulfilled. I bought it in 2011, a pre-release purchase, months before it was ...

*** See below to calculate your Personal Year Number for 2015:

     As the fifth month in the year, May carries a perpetual Five vibration. May is a time when seasons are changing: Five supports new Spring growth in the North and progresses the shift towards winter in the South.
     In this Eight year ** May also contributes Four energy to our lives.
     Four and Five are the two digits which rest in the Physical plane, and we can expect the month to draw our attention and effo...

Resolve to Create a Vision for 2015

     I believe that there is a cultural instinct related to Numerology which leads us to make resolutions for the New Year.  There is an unspoken acknowledgement that a new number-vibration will support us in new or changed behaviours.
     Some people have great success: they follow through and succeed, moving closer to, or arriving at, their stated goal. Many others lose interest, forget, or thoroughly fail.
     The difference may be in the vibrations of th...

Flow Cannot Be Unrequited

     I grew up with no understanding of infinity or unconditionality or any eternal source of love. The teachings of my church-going did not include inclusion. Judgement would address the wrongness with which I had been born. I was instructed to struggle through my life to meet the requirements of the system, regularly admitting my unworthiness and inability to meet the requisite standard.
     I had no reason to think that the world is within, and that The Divine flow...

September 12^th

     Albert Einstein is often quoted as saying “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
     The truth that I see is that everything is miracle, and if you have not yet connected to that truth, then you have found one of the intentions that you carried into Life.
     We live in a society that claims rationality and reason, and denies the existence of anything it cannot weigh and measure and dissect...

Moving Meditation and Prayerful Walking on the Labyrinth

People who are encountering the labyrinth for the first time often ask how to walk the path the ‘right way’.

My answer: “there is no wrong way”.

What you are called or led to do on a labyrinth is about you, not me. While events with many people sharing the path at the same time call for courtesy and consideration, solitary walks are as diverse as the people walking.

Phrases like ‘prayerful w...

Synchronicity; Inspiration; Remembering

Be Creative and Joyful

     June will be unfolding very soon. And with the new month comes a new number and new vibration. As we move through our personal cycles, we can gain the most when we are aligned with Universal Vibration.
     This year continues to vibrate with Six energy: 2+0+1+3=6. June is the sixth month, and we all continue to live in an atmosphere of service. The January editions of this blog can provide you with details about the overarching Six.
     This June, we move into the T...

Nicknames and Name Changes

     At askdefine.com Numerology is described as: “ the study of the purported mystical relationship between numbers and the character or action of physical objects and living things “

     Much has been said in this blog about different aspects of Numerology. When preparing a chart, relationships and characteristics can often appear rigid. Keys to the personality and a calendar of life can be drawn up, and presented on screen or paper they might appear immuta...

      As the Western world shifts from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age, some people feel as though they are waking up into a new way of being.

     I certainly do.

     After five decades of feeling out-of place in the world: of being out of step and outside the box and generally misunderstood, I am now watching as the world comes to meet me. My skills, my opinions, my approach to life are suddenly being valued.

     It is exciting. It is intimidating. It is the path...

Personal Years Seven, Eight and Nine

Personal Vibrations in a Year of Service

 2013 vibrates with Six energy.    2+0+1+3=6

       In a Six year, the vibrations of service and responsibility echo through every life, yet depending on where each of us is located on the calendar of Personal Years, that Six can manifest in different ways.

      If you don’t know your Personal Year vibration for 2013, here is a simple way to find out:

First, add the day and month numbers of your birth anniversary for this year.

Six Ways to Serve.

Service is defined as an act of helpful activity, which can surely manifest in many shapes and colours.

Here are Six categories which might help you find ways to be of most help in this year of Six Energy and Service.

1). Ask what people need (and listen to the answer).

Sometimes, there is no question about how best to serve. If you have witnessed someone fall overboard, throwing a floatation device should be more instinct and r...

Six Places to Serve

Serving Family

The people who raised us and those we have gathered as adults. This is family, most certainly the group we are primarily here to serve. We can express the Service of this Six year by giving to our families and to extended family of friends, in-laws, ex-es, birth-parents, custody sharers and in-home carers. Each of these people is a Spiritual entity with whom we have business. We are here to support the Soul Growth of each other: helpfulness is not diff...

Six Keys to Effective Service.

2013 vibrates with the energy of the Six, and Six calls us to Service.

     We all underwent changes and growth during the Five vibration of 2012, and now is a good time for a little introspection and self-examination to ensure that what we are offering in Service is the most effective use of our talent and time..

     Key Number One is to know what you can offer. If you can’t cook, don’t offer to make dinner for anyone. Avoid becoming a budget manager...

2012 was a Five year.

2+0+1+2=5, a year of transformation and personal growth for individuals, systems and mindsets. The changes and adjustments that we experienced personally have prepared us for the future. They will echo through the coming year and beyond.

2013 is bringing Six energy into the everyday. 2+0+1+3=6

     As I arrange my personal and professional plans for 2013, it is only right that I would be called to use a VisionBoard. It is a process that I have seen work well in my life.

      My VisionBoard for the New Year includes VisionBoarding in my new home, new community.  After my early experiences in 2008, I began to offer VisionBoard workshops and I saw how much the lives of other people benefited too. I want to continue sharing that benefit.

     2013 is a One personal year for me, w...

     At this time of year, Western Consumer Society takes wings. Consumer goods fly off the shelves of stores and into the homes of families and friends, and we even succumb to the message that we should be treating ourselves to assorted gadgets and goodies.

     We have been taught, and it is reinforced constantly, that value rests in the physical plane: that *things* have the power to change our way of being; enhance our life; bring us joy.

     Paradoxical messages about the greater va...

Numerology found me. I was in my car with a call-in radio show playing. People were phoning in with their dates-of-birth, and the studio guest was giving them brief personality outlines. The callers expressed amazement at his accuracy, and I knew I n...

Gratitude and Moving Forward

I am writing this on Day 16 of the Deepak Chopra 21 day Meditation Challenge.

Winter Hops and Skips

      2012 vibrates with the Number Five. We have seen this be a year of transformation, change and growth. It has not necessarily been easy, yet in many ways it has been inevitable.

     Many of the people and groups with whom I am connected have undergone ructions this year. There has been acrimony and disruption, disturbances and reorganization. Yet as we prepare for the coming Six energies of 2013, I detect a net benefit for individuals as well as the communitie...
