Two big events this week in the heavens: Mercury goes Direct on St. Patrick’s Day [Hallelujah!] and the Spring Equinox happens in the Northern Hemisphere [Hurray for Spring!]. Do you notice the fabled Mercury Retrogrades, when the planet appears from Earth as if it is traveling backward? On Sunday, March 17 Mercury appears to stop for a bit and then start to move forward again. Communications can also move forward more smoothly when the planet of communication travels that way in relation to Earth [or so it seems]!
And on Wednesday, March 20 at 7:01 am Eastern Time we have the Spring Equinox, when the Sun moves into the sign of Aries, the astrological New Year. This is the day of balanced sunlight and darkness and the days begin to be longer than the nights. In the US we’ve already turned our clocks ahead 1 hour for Daylight Savings Time, which means our teenaged granddaughter leaves for the school bus in darkness at 6:30 am for awhile longer. What are you planning for this astrological year? What are you doing to bring your life into equilibrium for the Equinox? How do you seek balance? These are the questions to ask yourself as you move through Spring Equinox energy and the new beginnings of Nature’s resurrection.
In honor of the Equinox I’m offering a Spring Cleaning Special – a big discount on your Scientific Hand Analysis Session — $100 off! This is the time to learn about your Soul Purpose and the gifts you’ve been given to manifest that Purpose in your life. And if you’ve already had your hands read, then it’s time for your Spring update and we’ll review the messages in your hands while looking for the changes. It’s fascinating to see the work you’ve been doing show up as changes in the lines in your hand! Since these lines represent neural pathways in your brain, it makes sense that personal growth work will be reflected in new patterns of thought and, thus, in changes in your handprints. Of course, your fingerprints don’t chan ge, but a lot of other things can change. Ask me about the Spring Special for updates! If you’re ready to leap forward, just as you turned your clocks ahead, then send me an email and I’ll give you the discount code for your Scientific Hand Analysis Session. Get your Spring Cleaning done by clearing away the questions you have about ‘Why am I here?’! rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com
If you’re in the Baltimore area I hope you’re planning to join me at the CCBC Women’s Expo in Catonsville where I’ll be speaking at 3:00 pm THIS SATURDAY, March 16. Tickets to the Expo are only $5 and I’d love to see you in my workshop, From Astrophysics to Metaphysics Breakthrough: Moving from High Stress through Breakdown to Joy. Go here for details.
Happy Spring! Get ready to blossom like the crocuses and daffodils we’re just starting to see here in Maryland!

Are You Expecting? –Richard’s Commentary
March 14, 2013 — RichardThe possibilities are endless! And this is exactly what I was hoping for. So, yes, I’m expecting some wonderful possibility to emerge this Spring! What about you?
This past Saturday I passed my Level 1 Qigong evaluation and am now certified to teach Jeff Primack’s base level of his Qi Revolution. Jeff’s goal is to expand the number of teachers of Qigong in the US; he is a true believer in this ancient form of exercise. And it has been pretty clearly documented as a superior approach to health and longevity. Here’s just one citation:
“In the early 1980’s, scientists in China began to study the medical benefits claimed for qigong. Since then, research on hundreds of medical applications of qigong have been reported in the Chinese literature. Of special interest … are clinical reports of the medical benefits of qigong that claim to retard or reverse some diseases associated with aging.”
–Kenneth Sancier Ph. D.
And here is an excellent definition of Qigong by Dr. Kathleen Hall:
“Qigong is an ancient Chinese practice that creates health by balancing the chi, or vital energy, in your body. Qigong is about discovering one’s true balance.
“Kaiser Permanente, the largest health maintenance organization (HMO) in the country, offers Qigong to their patients. They report they began Qigong with their chronic pain patients and had such great results they are now providing these classes for all health care plan members.”
With teachers and practitioners like Jeff Primack beginning to spread the word I think we will soon be seeing Qigong everywhere.
I’ve been practicing two forms of Qigong for about a year now. And I can honestly say I feel great, I have lost weight, I am sleeping well, and I feel much less stressful about life than I did a year ago.
And now the challenge begins. I am motivated to get started and only need to set up a class, gather some interested students and get going, right? Well, maybe it’s not that simple; but I do have a plan and “I am expecting” to step out in confidence and begin to bring this ancient longevity technology to as many people as I can reach.
This is part of my Spring break-out. Do you have a plan? It’s a great time of the year to review, revise and refresh your activities and assess your direction. Do an internal check on your health;
Rosemary and I suggest doing a scan of all of your bodies, the physical, of course, and your emotional, mental and spiritual bodies as well. Remember this diagram we published a few months ago?
Do you feel blockage anywhere? In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) “When your chi is blocked or stagnant you get sluggish, slow and can experience illness.” (Dr. Hall) And since Qi is vital energy it can block more than just the physical body. Qigong can release these blocks to relieve the sluggish “hang-over” from winter and provide just the spring-tonic needed to revitalize and nourish.
I have found that Qigong supports all four levels of the body. The movement and breath work are physically beneficial, the meditative aspects of Qigong support both the emotional and mental bodies, and throughout the practice there is a flow and connection to the divine that is deeply spiritual and truly inspiring.
This spring, try something new. Look for Qigong in your area. Give it a go; I think you’ll appreciate it!
And all the best with that!
