NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

Wow!  It’s hard to believe that it’s almost August already!  We’ve been doing some traveling and, as usual, have more on the books.  Last week in LA was magnificent!  I attended Ali Brown’s Coaching Business Intensive and then we celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary at Geoffrey’s in Malibu with a spectacular seaside dinner.  After a weekend in Marina del Rey, playing with our son and daughter-in-law, we got to see Angie perform in the Second City show, ‘Newstradamus’ – a must see if you are in the LA area!  Lots of laughs!

So now it’s back to work, planning our Fall offerings and back to the Sunday Celebrations [at 11:00 AM at the Center for Powerful Living in Colorado Springs every Sunday] and the Spiritual Exploration Group on the first Monday of the month at Little Nepal Restaurant.  On August 2nd we’ll be learning about Numerology and working out our own guidance from this ancient science.  If you’re in Colorado Springs, please join us at 6:30 PM for a wonderful dinner and ‘discussion, not dogma’!

Coming soon, I’ll be offering my workshop for women entrepreneurs, ‘How to Leverage your Intuition to Grow your Business.’ More details when we announce our Fall programs.

Next week I head to Sacramento for Katrina Sawa’s Love & Money Business Summit August 7 & 8: www.jumpstartyourmarketing.com/summit See you there?

Stay cool in these hot days of Summer!  Or send us some cool energy from your Down Under Winter, please!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Magicians”

“Once magic was real everything else just seemed so unreal.”
from The Magicians
by Lev Grossman

Maybe what we describe as ‘magic’ is just the energies that we don’t understand yet.    Where is the ‘magic’ in your Life?  Are you ready to let the energies shift?  When Magic is Real, all else is Unreal.  Think about it!

MUSE-INGS: Lift your vibration and be a blessing!

Sometimes it’s confusing when we hear about ‘raising our vibration’ or ‘frequencies’ or other terms referring to measuring energy.  People seem to throw these ideas around without definition or clarification.

Let’s look at the ‘frequency’ of something or someone.

Have you ever walked into a room and the occupants try to put on a happy face but you can sense that they have been fighting?  Have you every felt someone’s anger even when their answer to your question about what’s wrong was, ‘Nothing’?

These situations are samples of times when you have picked up on the ‘vibes’ in the room, the vibrations created by the frequency of the emotion in the room.  Just as a radio dial has numbers on it that indicate the frequency of a particular radio station, so your internal ‘radio’ has a set of frequency measurements that identify for you what the frequency is that you are sensing.  The smile might tell you visually that everything is fine but your internal sensors are picking up on the energy that maybe things are not so fine.

Now magnify this example to everyone on the planet at a certain time.  If everyone is feeling angry at once, the energy ramps up and it doesn’t feel very good, does it?  If, however, everybody ramped up the energy of Love, can you imagine how good that would feel?  If everyone in your vicinity were projecting the energy of Love at you, what would that feel like?  Pretty darned good.

So now take this and extrapolate to Planet Earth and all her inhabitants.  How would the Planet feel if everyone were thinking thoughts of Love and radiating that energy outward?   Bringing it closer to home, how would your family feel if everyone were radiating the frequency of Love in your home?  Now, since you cannot control everyone in your home, what if you were radiating Love and you were the only one doing so?

YOU could have a positive impact on your own home by radiating Love, even if your spouse or kids bug you or the dog is misbehaving or you are worried about paying the bills.  Simply thinking thoughts of Love raises your vibration and everyone around you can feel it.

It is most important that you focus yourself on your role in raising the energy of Planet Earth in these days.  Start within yourself and raise your own vibration with thoughts of Love.  Radiate this outward and you will see a shift in the people around you.  When they shift to a higher vibrational frequency the impact will start to be felt by the environment – plants and animals and the very air around you all.  (Remember the room where the people had been fighting and how that air held memories of the lower vibrations?)

Everyone who is alive today is being called to lift the vibration of Mother Earth.  Join in this effort by starting to raise your own vibration.  Just for a moment NOW think of the energy of Love and how good it feels.  A momentary thought like this will lift your own vibration and will radiate around you to be a blessing to all!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Help others and raise your vibration!

Dear Ones,

We wish you to be a blessing to those around you.  Do you think of yourself as such?  When you think of helping others, do you do it from a position of humility or do you consider your help from a position of pride?

Many people think that helping others is something that charities do formally.  Oh, they might occasionally hold a door for someone else but they don’t look for the extra help that they can offer.  It is one thing to hold the door for the person behind you but do you look around to see if there is another way to help or another person for whom you might wait while holding the door?  Do you notice the people around you who could use a little bit of help just to make things easier?

The sensitive ones among you live this way, totally aware of those around them and what help can be offered at any time.  Think of being sensitive to others’ needs as being tuned into the vibrations that another person is sending out.  If someone is struggling to carry a load of packages and drops one, they are signaling, in an energetic way, that they need to have the package picked up.  If no one offers to help then they must do so awkwardly and then try to regain their equilibrium.  If, on the other hand, you pick up on their distress and reach down for them to pick up their dropped package, you send out a vibration of Love, as shown by your assistance to another human being.

Notice that we did not say that you must feel ‘love’ for that other human being.  Rather, your assisting them comes from a heart-level vibration that is spreading the frequency of Love in the world.  Does this make sense to you?

Every action, every emotion, every thought has its own vibration.  There are very different frequencies associated with emotions such as Love and Hate.  There are very different frequencies associated with Helping and Ignoring.  The energy that comes from the Heart, such as Love and Helping energies, is of a higher vibratory frequency than the energy of Hate or Ignoring.  Your task as a person who is evolving human consciousness is to lift your own vibration at every opportunity.  The question to ask yourself is, ‘How can I raise my own vibration?’

Are you aware that every time that you make a choice to do something that comes from your Heart you are helping to raise the consciousness of all humanity?  As you act within the energy of higher frequencies you modify your own energetic field to resonate outwardly that higher vibration.  Everyone and everything around you benefits from this higher vibration.

Why is this important at this time?  YOU are important at this time because you are learning to lift your own vibratory frequency level and, thus, have an impact on your environment.  The natural environment that surrounds you needs this assistance.  The people around you need for you to do this.  Even situations, especially emotionally- charged situations, need for a higher vibration to lift them from the mire in which they reside.

In the 21st Century much of Planet Earth, including her inhabitants, suffers from neglect (at best) and intentional damage (at worst).  The environment is struggling to gain equilibrium just as the person who must awkwardly juggle packages while reaching down to retrieve a dropped package is struggling to do this alone.  The Planet needs your assistance and there are many other people in your environment who also need your help.

Think about ways in which you can help the Planet and her people, the oceans and ocelots, the forests and the fauns.  All about you there are vibrations of neglect and disharmony and distress and damage.  YOU, however, have the power to counteract these vibrations by radiating outwardly the energy vibration of LOVE.

Does it sound as if we are describing the so-called ‘tree huggers’ and ‘hippies’ of days gone by?  This is not what we are suggesting here, although there is nothing wrong with the message of Love that these folks shared. The important thing for you to understand is that everything is energy, everything has a level of vibration associated with it and we call this vibration that thing’s ‘frequency.’  All of humanity, all of the creatures on and in Planet Earth and the very planet itself are experiencing the opportunity to be lifted up in vibratory frequency so that Love can radiate through the world and other, lower vibrations, like Hate, can be transformed.  Radiate Love from your own heart center without judgment, without pride, without worrying about how it is being received and you will be doing your work to lift the entire Planet to a higher vibratory frequency.

In future messages we will talk about how important this is for the future on Planet Earth.

For now, send out Love.

And so it is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

Greetings from beautiful Southern California!  Just finished up Ali Brown’s Coaching Business Intensive in LA and got some great ideas for moving forward with group coaching programs.  Stay tuned for the new offerings coming this Fall!

We’ll be playing in the LA area until Monday so if you’re near here please let us know as it would be fun to connect!

Pay attention to Sunday’s Full Moon as this one might affect some of you pretty strongly.  The Sun has moved into fiery Leo and the Moon will be opposite in Aquarius.  You might feel the urge to leap into new things and Aquarius is asking you to consider carefully what the impact of that leap will be.  You can leap, and you might need to leap even further than you thought, after you look at consequences and opportunities.  Enjoy the Full Moon at 7:37 pm MDT!

August is a good time to schedule a private session to clear out the cobwebs and get ready for the new ‘school’ year.  Even if you don’t have kids at home returning to school, this is the time of year that can feel like ‘school’ for adults, a time to look around and decide what needs to be learned or let go of.  A Personal Power Strategy Session can help you create your personalized roadmap for the work you need to do in the near future.  Scheduling now for mid and late August appointments.

Enjoy these hot days of Summer!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Steps to Enlightenment, Twelve Powerful Tools for Mastering Ourselves”

“Free will should not be confused with free-for-all.  We are given a free will in how we choose to respond to the opportunities, challenges, and obstacles that our higher self presents to us on our path.”

by Sharmai Amber with Keith Amber

Our higher self knows what it is doing.  Every experience is an opportunity to learn.  We can choose our response.  And sometimes the path to happiness from an unhappy place is to take advantage of an opportunity to help someone else toward happiness!

MUSE-INGS: Don’t worry! Be Happy!

It seems this message can’t be shared often enough.  We are constantly being told that we create our own reality.  But the truth of happiness needs to be reinforced often because we tend to forget that happiness is a choice.  If we’re not feeling well or someone has made us mad or we didn’t get what we wanted, then we feel unhappy.  But is that really a good choice?  Maybe the initial reaction of unhappiness isn’t a choice, but staying with that feeling, sometimes even wallowing in it, doesn’t bring us the happiness we seek, nor does it help us to solve the original problem.

I learned about a foundation that has been created to give a ‘Wow!’ experience to patients who have been diagnosed with late stage cancer and their families.  The idea was developed by someone who had cancer but had an excellent prognosis.  Unfortunately, she had a reversal during treatment and became terminal.  Her idea, though, has been carried on by her husband.  The foundation  creates a dream vacation, a vacation from cancer, for a few days for the family to make memories that live on with the survivors.  For those few days there are no hospitals to deal with and they can live ‘normal’ lives.  What a beautiful idea!

This foundation was created by a woman who could have chosen to feel sorry for herself or to wallow in her own condition.  Instead, she decided that if she had only a short time left with her family, she was going to make every moment special.  She lived with her disease but chose to smile and to live the best she could whatever moments she had left.

If someone with terminal cancer can find a way to make every day count in a positive way, can you?  JUST FOR TODAY, can you decide to find the delight available to you, in small things and big things?  Can you decide to feel happy whether Life hands you lemons or sugarplums?

You see, living a Conscious Life is always about the choices we make.  In everything we do, we are making a choice.  We can’t choose what happens externally nor can we control other people, but we can choose how we react to what happens.  This message bears repeating because, as we grow, we start to see at a very deep level just what it is that we can control.  And there is a lot in our life that we can control.

There are also circumstances that we cannot control.  Does staying upset about those things change anything?  Usually the answer is ‘no.’  We can’t get into the proactive mode of problem-solving until we move beyond the reactive mode of being upset.

Making a decision about how you feel is a big step toward living a Conscious Life.  It is not that your feelings are not valid, for they are, but you have the ability to move beyond that initial feeling.  You have the power to decide how you will continue to feel.  As with Fear, where you are told to ‘feel the fear and do it anyway,’ if you are feeling unhappy, ask yourself why you have chosen to allow something to take away your remembrance of the light within.  Accept the feeling but then look for the way ahead, letting your Iinner light illuminate the possibilities.  Choose to feel happy about the belief that there are possibilities even if you can’t see them yet.

Just because you aren’t feeling happy at the moment doesn’t mean that you can’t feel happy soon!

[If you are interested in the foundation I mentioned, it is the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation and they do great work.]

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Just for today – be happy!

Dear Ones,

Happiness isn’t buying something or having something or achieving something.  Happiness isn’t having someone love you or having friends or not having debts.

Happiness is being a person who has decided to be happy.

Think about the moments you have had that have made you feel happy.  When someone proposed marriage.  When a child made you laugh.  When you received that gift you had been longing for.  When you graduated or were offered that job or got a raise.  You felt happy afterward but wasn’t it fleeting?  What changed about you that caused that happiness to linger within you?

Too often people are seeking happiness outside themselves.  They live the lie that ‘if only _____ (fill in the blank), then I will be happy.’  This exercise gives away your power to external events and does not bring true happiness nor does it make even the feeling of being happy last very long.  Happiness is not a response to an external event, although you might feel briefly happy when things go your way.

Think about how it would feel to wake up each morning believing that you will be happy JUST FOR TODAY.  You perform your morning ritual and notice that you feel like smiling.  Little irritations remain little – they don’t disrupt your entire day because you choose not to let them do so.  Someone does something that you don’t like but you get over it quickly.  The dog chews the newspaper but you decide to get your news online.  Spilt milk gets cleaned up with no consequences.  Can you see where your response to those irritants makes a difference in how you feel?  You CHOOSE your response, although the knee-jerk reaction might lead in a different path.  You can choose happiness.

Now you might be saying that those are all minor irritants. What about the big things?  But, what big problems are solved by choosing to feel unhappy?  If you have a financial problem, will feeling unhappy solve that problem?  If you are experiencing a relationship problem or a lack of a relationship, will feeling unhappy about that bring resolution?  If you are suffering a health problem, will feeling unhappy reverse the condition?  Think about how choosing to stay with the unhappy feelings does not bring you the resources you need to do problem-solving.

What if, rather than staying stuck in your feelings of unhappiness, you chose to take action? What if you started by deciding that you were not going to let problems take away the light within you?  The truth is that nothing external can take away the light from within you – only you can make a decision to put a barrel over that light and keep it from shining out from you.  Blocking the light doesn’t extinguish it so your inner light continues to shine, but you and others can’t see it.  So how about making a decision today to remove the barrel and find the light within?  Make a decision that the cup will be half full JUST FOR TODAY.  Decide that, JUST FOR TODAY, you will see everything as having a solution if you just stay open to the possibility that the problem can be solved somehow.

The energetic fact is that when YOU decide to stay open to possibilities then possibilities open up before you.  It is when you choose to be unhappy, to turn down that interior light bulb, that the dimness prevents you from seeing the possibilities that are just beyond your reach, waiting for you to reach out to them.  Remove the barrel and let your own light shine the way ahead for you.  You might be surprised by how good it feels to choose to feel happy, even if it is JUST FOR TODAY!

And so it is.

“When we react to another’s comments or actions, our defensive, angry behavior is pointing to an area where we need to work on ourselves.”

by Sharmai Amber with Keith Amber

Life is a continual opportunity to work on our inner growth.  How we react to others indicates where we need to work TODAY.  Look at your ‘tantrums’ as guideposts along the path pointing to where your lessons are now.
