What a week!!! We started with a Full Moon during the height of the Frankenstorm Sandy with no electricity. Last Monday night was the first WOW Call [Wisdom Of the Week], on cell phone by candlelight. Made it through two nights and into third day before the electricity came back on, charging cell phones in the car in rotation so someone had an active one at all times. At least we had advance notice and were prepared!
This huge storm could have been much worse for us. Many people are still without power as I write this. Some houses were damaged when trees fell on them. Lives were lost. Livelihoods are threatened. Lower Manhattan is a dark portion of New York City waiting for the power to be restored. And New Jersey is in terrible shape. We, here at home in Maryland, sustained no damage and really didn’t suffer much while being disconnected from our 21st Century conveniences. Papa Richard fired up the outdoor grill [we had filled up the propane tank before the storm] and heated water for tea, cooked scrambled eggs, toast, pancakes and dinners for us, sometimes out in the rain and wind! We sat around and played Scrabble and Uno with the grandkids with candles and lanterns lighting the way. Everyone wore sweaters as the temperatures dipped but, blessedly, weren’t too cold. It was okay.
So what could preparing for your life do for you? Are you counting on everything being available to you when you want it? Do you wait until the last minute or are you ready for anything that comes your way? Tap into your Inner Guidance and learn what is important for you to do today!
In career, business, relationships, life, we are always facing something new. With the clients I work with regularly, there is always new guidance or some subtle hint about what the next step is. Do you know what YOUR next step is?
Take some time to look at your current path and ask if it is leading you in the direction you desire. Today is All Souls Day on the Christian calendar and The Day of the Dead in Mexico, honoring those who have gone before us. Please join us TONIGHT, Friday, November 2, 2012 for an online Conversation with The Other Side where you can get guidance for today from an angel, spirit guide or loved one who has crossed over. We always have fun at these educational events, and this one is ONLINE so you can join us at 7:00 pm Eastern from anywhere in the world! Get more info here!
If you’re in the Annapolis, Maryland area, please join us at the Ashana Concert, sponsored by A Community of Transformation [ACT] on November 10th. Ashana creates magical transformation with her singing bowls and angelic voice. More details here: www.ACTAnnapolis.org
Mercury goes Retrograde on Tuesday, November 6th, at 5:57 pm Eastern Standard Time. This means that the Planet Mercury appears to be traveling backward when viewed from Earth for the following 3 weeks. Mercury, the planet of communications, messes things up when it’s going backward, so be very careful about contracts and conversations. What does this mean on the US Election Day? Well, I would vote early and read your ballot questions carefully, preferably before you go to the polls. The last time Mercury was pulling this stunt was the 2000 Presidential Election where the Supreme Court decided the outcome of that election. [Mercury was turning direct on Election Day.] Just be careful!
Remember the free WOW Call [Wisdom Of the Week] EVERY MONDAY evening at 8:30 pm Eastern Time! Be sure to register so that you can get the call-in info to join us as I channel a message from The Divine Feminine about the energies of the week and guidance for each of us to hear. These are informal, 30-minute calls just for you to check-in to the wisdom. Hope you’re with us next Monday! You don’t have to register each week. Register once and use the same call-in numbers every Monday that you can be with us.

“How’s Your Health?” A Commentary from Richard
November 1, 2012 — RichardHere is this week’s commentary from my partner, Richard:
In her Video and Commentary this week Rosemary asks a broad question about health. On the surface this may seem to be a simple, straightforward question. For the most part when we think of our health we immediately scan our physical bodies for anything that may be signaling a pain or illness. But probing the question of our health is a much deeper subject than that first reaction!
We have four bodies, at least! And Rosemary addresses each of them in her commentary posted yesterday. For optimum health we need to “treat” each of these bodies and balance them. For men this can be a real challenge!
Last week I wrote of the emotional body and one emotion I am particularly familiar with, Anger! In Taoist philosophy the ancient Chinese identified five primary emotions and their correlating virtues. For example Creativity is the virtue corresponding to Anger. The other four emotions are Anxiety, Worry, Fear and Grief. Treating these emotions and moving them, transforming them to their virtues is the work we must undertake at the emotional level to achieve a healthy emotional body that in turn supports the physical body’s health.
Today let’s look at Anxiety, a serious emotion affecting so many of us in Western Society. Here in the US we are nearing the end of a polarizing National election. And in the Northeast US we are cleaning up and recovering from a devastating storm, Hurricane Sandy. This election cycle has seemed to go on forever! And with the long prediction of Sandy’s potential as an historic storm, it seemed larger than any storm could live up to; yet for many, it did! Just holding the energy of these two intertwined events is sufficient emotional strain to give the healthiest person a severe case of Anxiety!
What do we do?
Anxiety is often associated with our place in society, our standing within our family, group, tribe, nation, world. It is about who we are; it is deeply connected to self-esteem issues. Using the Tao as guidance, the emotion of Anxiety is associated with the heart and small intestine; it is the Fire Element emotion. The virtues that correspond to Anxiety are Connection and Joy, clearly virtues of the Heart. Moving Anxiety to Joy is a natural transformation as we work on our place within the human family, recognize the importance of that place, our being in that place and the Connection we have with others from that place. And once we have that Connection, deep Joy is there for us. The process here is remembering our own connections. “It’s a Wonderful Life” that famous Christmas Capra movie, is an excellent reminder of just how connected we are in this life and how vital to the overall scheme we are.
The process is reasonably simple: breathe into your Heart Center. Visualize a ruby red light streaming in to your chest to cauterize the wounds inflicted by Anxiety and transform those wounds to Connection and Joy. We are humans, a connected species. We live in groups and survive through cooperation and connectedness. Anxiety is created through our sense of
disconnectedness. Breathing the color Red in to our Heart Center restores this sense of togetherness in all of Life’s experiences.
My 15-year-old granddaughter just came down to visit and to apologize for her over-reaction to an incident around the dinner table this evening. I accepted and in turn apologized for my own over-reaction! It reminds me of our connection; our heart-connection. Family, friends and neighbors, communities, cities, states, countries…we are all connected. We can transform our Anxieties through remembering all of our Essential Connections and taking great Joy in those Connections!
PS: Tomorrow, November 2, just in time for All Souls Day, the Day of the Dead, you are invited to a Conversation with The Other Side! Rosemary brings in the Energies, Loved Ones who have crossed over, Angels, Spirit Guides, all manner of extra-dimensional beings during this time when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest!
