NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

Happy Perseids Meteor Shower time!  There are wonderful ‘shooting stars’ [really meteors] visible in the night sky and it’s always exciting to see them.  One summer Richard took the grandkids to our mountain property, no streetlights around, to watch the light show in the sky.  Always impressive!

I’m back in Colorado after lots of travel, including a wonderful experience at Katrina Sawa’s Love & Money Business Summit in CA.  Thanks, Katrina, for giving me the opportunity to lead the group in an exercise to call in the energy for the seminar.  Katrina and Ali Brown and eWomenNetwork attract the most amazing people – it is heartening to gather with folks like those who attend the events that I’ve been participating in lately!  If you’re a seminar junkie like me, then ask me about coming to Shine with Ali Brown in Las Vegas in November!

There are some brand new programs starting this Fall and it’s almost time to announce them, but not yet!  Please stay tuned for the details!  If you are receiving this ezine as a forward from a friend, please visit the website, www.TheScientificMystic.com, to sign up for your own copy so that you can get the free gift – a relaxing meditation audio download.

I’m doing an informal survey and would love to have your input – since many of you do not live in Colorado Springs, would you rather participate in a teleclass series on the phone or on the internet [like TV, where you could see me teaching]?  Most people who are offering programs that are not in person are offering phone only with follow-up recordings of the call.  But I’m curious about your preferences as I plan the Fall courses. Please drop me an email at rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com and let me know what kind of course you would like to join.  Thanks!

Have a wonderful time with the New Moon energy as it increases this week.  Watch that tiny sliver of a moon grow and invite in something new to grow in your life, too!

BOOK LIGHTS: “Smart Women Know Their Why”

“You have been down that road and you know exactly where it goes and that is not where you want to be.”

Trinity to Neo in The Matrix trilogy
as quoted in Smart Women Know Their Why
by Sheri McConnell

How often do we keep going down the same road, knowing exactly where it goes, and yet expecting to get somewhere else?  CREATE the new road for yourself.  Make the magic work for you.  Believe that you CAN and that you DESERVE the magic in your life.  Let’s all agree to create a new dream reality – where we support each other in our pursuits and we cheer each other’s victories.  Let’s focus on what we do want in our lives rather than on what we don’t want.

MUSE-INGS: Find Your Magic

Magic and Empowerment.  Interesting words to put together.

I love the word ‘magic’ because it conjures up [pun intended] all kinds of possibilities that are beyond the so-called normal realm.  As a little girl I lived in fairy tales with all sorts of magical things happening.  Of course, I also saw things that I now realize not everyone else was seeing.  Are all of our children seeing magic everywhere in their lives but having the magic shut down or blocked out of their vision?

Maybe life in the 21st Century has become so focused on reality that we forget to notice the magic in the reality around us.  We just watched the movie ‘Inception’ and the complexity of that dream world was fascinating.  Dream levels within levels within levels.  What’s real?  What is the dream?  Can the dream become real?  What great questions to ask ourselves!

If we, as a society, join in a collective dream, do we not manifest that as reality?  If we, collectively, agree that something is so, do we not project that belief into the world around us until reality is shaped by that belief?  Believing is Seeing.  In order to see something, we must first believe it to be visible.  Many scientific studies have shown that those who have been trained to see or not see something will manifest their belief in the world around them, even if ‘reality’ does not actually reflect that belief.  An ophthalmologist once told me that if an adult is given a pair of glasses that reverse what is seen to create an upside down image, that person’s brain will learn to reverse the image to make it upright within 3 days of wearing the glasses.  In a photography class, I learned that paper that appears white to our eyes is actually reflecting the light around it, such as green in fluorescent lighting or yellow in incandescent, but our brains translate the brightest paper into the white color we expect to see.  The camera doesn’t have this translator and takes a picture of green or yellow paper!

So how important is it that we check our belief systems periodically so that we can assess our reality?  Are we believing what we want to see?  Are we SEEING what we want to see or, if not, have we checked what we are believing about our reality?

As you go through your days this week, ask yourself what your reality is telling you about your belief system.  Look at yourself as the magician creating the illusions around you.  Then look at what you have created and ask if you feel empowered by that.  Let yourself move into your own power by practicing magic in little areas of your life, especially if you need to take baby steps.  Give yourself permission to play in your days.  Let yourself move into a feeling of personal empowerment by assessing your beliefs.  When I work with private clients, this is the first place we need to work, because sometimes our beliefs have been planted by others or were adopted by our younger selves and no longer have a place in our reality.  Sometimes we have let someone take away our magic.

My blessing to you this week is that you find your magic!  I trust that it is there for you to find!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Pay attention to the magic!

Dear Ones,

Where is the magic in your life today?  Are you aware of magic at work around you all the time?  Or do you think of magic as something that a magician does in a show to fool your eyes?

When we speak of ‘magic’ here we mean the unexplainable that happens in your life with wondrous results.  A person you haven’t seen in a long time comes to mind and shortly thereafter you see them or receive a phone call from them.  You need to buy a pair of shoes and when you get to the store the exact shoes you were looking for appear and are on sale.  You need a doctor and your friend brings up the name of a specialist she thinks is an excellent doctor.  The list of possibilities goes on and on.

But do you think of these as ‘magic’ or do you still believe in coincidence?

Magic happens in your life because you project outward into the Universal Consciousness a thought that forms a picture that has an energy attached to it that creates magnetism.  This chain, from your thought to the magnetic energy associated with it, is the real magician in your life.  This process is at work in your life whether you are conscious of it or not.  How many times have you said, ‘See?  I told you this wouldn’t work out [or that bad thing would happen or I wouldn’t get what I wanted]!’  When you worried about something or thought that you wouldn’t get what you wanted you energized that picture of problems or lack and that is what materialized.

The Universe is not a magician trying to fool your eyes with complex tricks to make you feel bad.  The Universe is, instead, a kind and generous place, working to fulfill the requests that you energize from a place of purity, compassion [for self and others], and a desire for the highest good of all.  When you are focused on these things, you have much magic at your disposal.

So how will you use your powers of magic from this day forward?  Do you think you can separate yourself from greed and personal desires and lift your thoughts into the space of what is good for all?  Wanting something for yourself is not necessarily greed in a negative sense, but wanting something that is not in your highest good or in the highest good of all around you does not bring you the happiness that you are seeking.  Beware of the insidious nature of greed, for it manifests in cloaked ways, masquerading as being for the good of all.

For example, there are those who seek much money with the claim that ‘someday’ they will do something philanthropic with their millions.  They sound like compassionate souls but that ‘someday’ is not energizing the magic that comes into the life of someone who, without the millions today, is still helping the less fortunate.  Greed for power over others is damaging to the greedy person as well as the people who become subjugated to that greed.  It might not look like ‘greed’ as you would expect but condescension, arrogance, a ‘me first’ attitude, are all examples of greed for power over others.  This energetic does not create real magic.

We are not saying that there is anything wrong with money or power, per se.  They are both words that describe energies in the human world.  What one does with money, how one relates to money and how much power over the decisions of one’s life that money has – these are what define the energy of money.  Power, within oneself, becomes empowerment to fulfill one’s Soul Purpose on Planet Earth.  However, when one wishes to exert power over another, one is attempting to take away that other’s personal empowerment and replace it with complacence and submission to someone else’s will.  This destroys the magic in both people’s lives.

Strive to use magic in your own life as a way to make all of Life around you be a glorious expression of the power inherent in human beings to bring Light into the world.  Focus on the ways that you can feel more empowered in your life, even if at times it seems that your power has slipped away.  Find a single area in which you feel empowered and focus on that area.  Then notice other areas where magic has occurred and notice how empowering that can be.

Pay attention to the magic in your life and you will start to feel empowered in all areas.  The magic is there for you to find!

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: from “My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist’s Personal Journey”

“One of the greatest lessons I learned was how to feel the physical component of emotion.  Joy was a feeling in my body.  Peace was a feeling in my body.  I thought it was interesting that I could feel when a new emotion was triggered.  I could feel new emotions flood through me and then release me.  I had to learn new words to label these ‘feeling’ experiences, and most remarkable, I learned that I had the power to choose whether to hook into a feeling and prolong its presence in my body, or just let it quickly flow right out of me.”

by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph. D.

When Jill Bolte Taylor suffered a stroke she had to relearn living in consciousness, but her awareness shifted so profoundly that she couldn’t go back to being the way she had been before the stroke.  Noticing how much control we have, how much power over our thoughts and emotions, makes us truly empowered individuals.  CHOOSE what you think, feel, believe!

MUSE-INGS: Choose your focus – and laugh?

Focus on the beauty?  Not so easy to do when things are looking bleak or when our attention takes us down a rabbit-hole into the space where everything is ugly.

But have you ever noticed how, when you DO focus on something besides ugliness, you can actually feel uplifted?  Have you ever been really down and had a little child come up and give you a hug?  There is true beauty in that hug, even if it’s full of mud or comes with a bouquet of weeds.  Or have you been feeling sorry for yourself, feeling lonely, and had a friend call out of the blue and invite you out?

We really can control our thoughts when we become aware of our power over them.  We all have knee-jerk reactions to situations or problems or even joy.  Becoming Aware [with a capital ‘A’] means learning to assess those knee-jerk reactions and making a conscious decision about how to act next.  A thought does not have to hold us in its grip without letting go if we choose not to allow it.

Sometimes thoughts do come unbidden into our consciousness but the important thing to learn is to process the thought and ask:

What is this?
Is this true for me now?
Is it in my highest good to hold onto this thought at this time?

Unbidden thoughts often stem from our insecurities and they masquerade as the reality of the moment but we must ask ourselves if they are actually true in that moment.  We can worry all we want about the next tornado or earthquake or hurricane but if the sun is shining now isn’t that what is real?  Isn’t that where we can find the beauty?  We can always worry about something that might happen but if it is not true in this moment then there is something else to look at, to think about, something else on which to focus our attention.

Look around you today and see if you are focusing on the thoughts that are uplifting or if you are attaching to those thoughts that bring you down, that distract you from the beauty of the day.  Even if you are wrestling with a problem today, can you find something of beauty to think of for a moment?  Scientists are now saying that smiling can make us feel happy – it’s not just the other way around!  Try looking in the mirror when you are focusing on problems and force yourself to smile.  I guarantee that you will either laugh at the way you look when you are worrying and/or laugh at the way you look when you force a smile.  That single laugh will shift your body’s energy and allow the Light to come through in that moment.

That is an important shift, for allowing the Light to shine also brings with it resources that better equip you to find a solution to your problem.  You are more resourceful with the Light in you than when you shroud yourself in darkness.

So go ahead and let your thoughts drift across the sky of your mind while you choose which ones on which to focus your attention.  And if you need help, remember to look in the mirror and laugh a beautiful laugh!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Focus on the Beauty of the Moment

Dear Ones,

We are pleased that so many of you are taking time to ‘smell the roses,’ as the saying goes.  It is so important for the human soul to take time to enjoy beauty, to be present to the beauty that is surrounding life, and to share beauty with others.

When you are immersed in your work or your problems to the exclusion of what is around you then you are not living a fully human and conscious life.  There is beauty in every moment, somewhere in your vicinity.  Look for it.  Is it the magnificence of the sunrise or sunset?  Is there a beautiful hummingbird at your window feeder?  Can you see a child’s perfect smile or hear an older person’s knowing laugh?  Is there a color nearby that looks beautiful to you?  Did you hear music that you love or see someone who made you smile or enjoy your pet today?

You do not have to look far to find beauty.  But what if your attention is focused on what is NOT beautiful around you?  What if you are struggling or looking at clutter or tired of drab surroundings?  What can you do?

Do you realize that to live a Conscious Life you must be the one who chooses where to focus your attention?  Just because something pops up in your awareness does not mean that you must linger with that thought or focus all your attention on it.  This is the first lesson in stilling the mind for meditation.  It is not that you must expend effort in trying to keep thoughts from arising in your mind, for your mind’s purpose is to bring thoughts into your conscious awareness.  Rather, it is your lesson to learn to allow the thoughts to drift through your awareness without your attaching your awareness to them.  Just as you allow clouds to drift across the sky, so can you allow thoughts to drift across the sky of your mind without trying to cling to them or hold onto them in your awareness.  Letting go of thoughts so that they can drift through your consciousness allows you to deepen relaxation into the meditative state.

When you are not meditating, you can choose whether or not to attach your focus to the thoughts that are drifting through your consciousness.  Ask yourself, ‘Is this thought that I am having the one that I wish to focus on?’  If the answer is ‘No’ then shift your focus.  If you feel that this is too difficult for you to do, then look for the beauty around you.  Hold the thought in your mind with the awareness of the beauty that is there for you in that moment.  Allow both thoughts to be in your awareness.  Can you find a way to understand, in that precious moment in time, that whatever problem you have in your focus is counterbalanced to some degree by an element of beauty that also exists in that moment for you?  This is true in every moment, no matter what the problem is that you are facing.

Beauty is important in life so that you can see beyond the troublesome energies that try to bombard you.  The media, the naysayers, the negative commentaries, the news – all are trying to get you to focus on something that drains your energy and takes your focus away from beauty.  But you are conscious human beings.  You have the ability to choose where to place your focus.  You can seek beauty where other forces would have you see only negativity.

There is tragedy in the world.  There are uncomfortable things to see and experience.  But there is also always beauty.  Watch a raindrop slide down a windowpane and wonder about Nature rather than curse the thunderstorm.  When you are feeling lonely go out and smile at a stranger or two.  There is beauty in the faces of other people if you but look for it.

Surround yourself with beauty in your home.  Is there a peaceful place where you can enjoy looking around you?  Have you created a haven of beauty that allows you to shut out the outside world?  If not, create that haven as soon as possible.  Use Beauty to create peace for yourself.

And remember to look for the beauty in every moment, even if it is just to look in the mirror and see the perfect human being gazing back at you!

And so it is.
