Happy Birthday to my sister, Ellie! We are now the same age until my birthday in August. Yes, twins the hard way! I hope you are as blessed as I am to have siblings, or friends who are as close as siblings. I have 2 sisters and some sisters/brothers from another mother. I am not alone in this world!
Since this week’s theme is ‘you are not alone,’ this is a good time to take stock of just how many people you DO have in your orbit. Make a list. You are a part of this community we call RosemarySpace even if we haven’t yet met in person! I hold you in the Light of Healing and Love just because you read these words. And I’ll bet you can come up with a pretty long list of folks who are also connected to you.
We’re heading for the third eclipse in a month, on May 25, so this is really a hold-onto-your-hat time! Eclipses invite us to shift in a big way. When there is a 1-2-3 punch, is it any wonder that people feel the struggle? Before the Full Moon for that eclipse we have Uranus and Pluto playing on the third of their seven big days [exact squares] on Monday, May 20. Freedom and reform are highlighted. I think Uranus is inviting us to look deeply into our Pluto ‘stuff,’ our own underworld. Remember the story of Persephone going into the underworld? This is our call to examine the shadows, the parts of us that have been hidden or disowned. Often this is our own power!
Do some meditating this week on what you have hidden away about/from yourself. Clients are uncovering their secret desires by allowing themselves to peer into the recesses in the closets of their minds. Now is the time to shine the light into those dark corners and reveal yourself to yourself. And if you need help, ask for it!
I’m joining new networking groups when I find them because I feel an urgency to connect with more people in the area. If you are a part of a group that you think I should visit, please let me know! It’s time for us all to connect and share and serve each other!
HIGHLIGHT: Join us on Monday, May 20 during this Uranus-Pluto event for an online CONVERSATION WITH THE OTHER SIDE at 7:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time. Ask your question! Get your answers from the angels, guides, loved ones who have crossed over. Now is the time to reach out for help – reach way beyond this dimension and receive the guidance you need! Learn more and register to join us here: Conversation If you’d like to come in person in Annapolis, we’d love to see you, or you can connect via your computer or phone. There are still a few spaces left so claim yours now!
Thank you for being in RosemarySpace and staying connected! Please invite your friends to join you here. In these turbulent times, the meditation download gift for joining our community, a 7-minute de-stress/relaxation meditation audio, is just what the doctor ordered! www.TheScientificMystic.com
Remember what you learned in kindergarten – always hold hands when you cross the street! We’re crossing a threshold now. Hold hands!
Mystic Messages 
Brain Science, Storytelling, and YOU! – Richard’s Commentary
May 16, 2013 — RichardI have a recent story to tell and I hope I only have to tell it once! As always it is a question of learning the lessons. Here’s the story:
About a week ago I started running a fever. I had no real symptoms other than the severe body aches and pains that often accompany a fever. As this one developed not only did the aches and pains get worse but the fever turned into significant shakes and sweats over a three-day and night period. I had not experienced this kind of illness since I came down with malaria in Africa more than 40 years ago – it was that bad!
The fever was at its worst right at the New Moon/Solar eclipse last Thursday evening. I went to the doc Friday afternoon about the time I started to feel just a bit better. Lots of causes, thankfully, have been eliminated. And now I am much better, finishing a course of antibiotics even though I suspect it was viral. But much more important than the medical report or even my symptoms and treatment are the lessons and symbols represented by this fever and my experience of it.
I have been processing this experience, this story since I was well enough to meditate and write about it. And my old friends, QRS (remember my “floating heads”?) have helped me with some interpretation. Here’s the real story of my serious fever:
What is the message from my unconscious mind via my body?
QRS: Your body heated up to burn out some impurities. The shakes were because you are not using the “shaking technique” from Jeff Primack (this is a Qi-generating approach by shaking the whole body for a period of time; we did it for 12 minutes at the Qi-Revolution weekend!). Do it for five minutes every day. It will help. The sweats were to purge impurities through your largest organ – your skin. Shower to cleanse away the toxins. Heat, fire is from the heart. You are heart-broken for multiple reasons. The fever was a reminder of the fire and passion of your heart and that you need to attend and mend the brokenness before you can do any real work of consequence. The fire was a tempering and a mending process. You will emerge from this stronger if you take these words “to heart”! The weakness was to get you to rest. You have to be quiet to mend. Your quiet time has helped. The aches and pains were your body knocking at your door to let you know it needs your care. Yes, Qigong has been good. But keep it up. Don’t let your body turn to brittle old bones!
Your mind has been in a fog. This was a reminder to not slip away into a fog like your dad did! Awaken! And stay awake.
You think you have been working hard on yourself. Don’t mistake effort for accomplishment. Working hard is only part of it. Achieving is necessary. Awaken! It is time to break out. Move beyond the chrysalis stage and emerge, fly. You have so much to do, but time is not infinite. Deaths of your friends are to remind you of this. Their time ran out; mission accomplished. Yes, you have your purpose, your mission, but you only have the rest of your life to fulfill it. Don’t let us down. Wake up!
This explanation of my story has helped me realize the fever had its purpose. And I have my lesson to take to heart. As I wrote this I also recalled the Buddhist prayer, or Evening Gatha, we recited at Zen Mountain Monastery when I spent some time there:
Let me respectfully remind you,
Life and death are of supreme importance.
Time swiftly passes by and opportunity is lost.
Each of us should strive to awaken. . .
. . . awaken,
Take heed. Do not squander your life.
Do not squander your life…
