ROSEMARY’S NEWS

very-old-moonHappy Lunar New Year TODAY!!! Welcome to the Year of the Horse! Can you feel the energy pulsating with the pawing of the horse’s hoofs ready to pound forward at a gallop? The time has arrived!

This is a potent New Moon Super Moon New Lunar Year. You might be feeling the energy and it’s exciting! New Possibilities. New Dreams. New way of BEING YOU. Tap into this energy and create a fantastic year for yourself.

At the recent Possibilities Playshop 2014 participants created a Playbook based on how they wanted to feel, what their focus would be, what their guidance sounds like. The book was not about a goal or a vision board about what they wanted to have or to buy. They created a journal to help them move through the Moon Cycles of the Lunar Year tapping into their own inner wisdom to allow the year to flow with grace and ease while they focus on Being who they came here to be. We had an amazing, fun day together! (When you get the recording you’ll see that we captured my dropping my burning ‘Bodacious Wish’ onto the table! A little emergency and lots of laughs!) And the Playbooks we created were filled with fun and hopes and our ‘Bodacious Wish’ for the year.

Some people couldn’t be here in person and are working with the recording to generate their Playbook. There was a lot of fun while we cleared blocks, met our guides, created our Playbooks. I’ve been asked if the recording can be made available to those who didn’t pre-register and I’ve decided to offer it now at the same investment level as the Early Bird Discount allowed, only for a limited period of time and only to my MuseLetter community. So, if you couldn’t make it to our really fun day for the Possibilities Playshop 2014, here’s where you can register to get the recording. REGISTER AND I’ll also send you the bonuses to help you make the most of this year’s energies. Jump on board now and create your own Playbook!

And PLAN TO JOIN US FOR THE POSSIBILITIES PLAYSHOP 2015! Mark February 7, 2015 on your calendar and we’ll get you ready for another amazing Lunar Year! Start collecting pictures throughout the year that resonate with who you are. Remember, this isn’t about the vision board you’ve done in the past. This is about BEING YOU!

Happy Groundhog Day! This happens on Sunday, February 2 and we’ll be eager to see if Punxsutawney Phil, the Pennsylvania groundhog, sees his shadow. If he does it indicates 6 more weeks of Winter. (Of course, if you look at the calendar, we have 6 more weeks before the Spring Equinox anyway, but it’s a fun tradition in the US.) We also have the Super Bowl on the same day so there will be a lot of partying as we gather with family to watch the best TV commercials of the year.

And a head’s up for you – Mercury goes Retrograde on Thursday, February 6 at 4:43 pm Eastern Time. This is when it appears, from the perspective of Earth, as if Mercury is traveling backward in space for 3 weeks. This is a time to pay close attention to details, especially in communications and contracts. And everyone gets a little distracted during these periods so drive defensively.

Enjoy all the ‘New’ energy this weekend! In Asia this is a time of great celebration. In the US we’re celebrating by watching grown men knock each other down chasing a football. Hmmmm….

May this New Wood Horse Year bring you all your ‘Bodacious Wishes’!

Get Ready for the Big Shift! – Richard’s Commentary

You’ve been hearing about this “big shift” from Rosemary, many others and me for a long time. We talked about it leading up to that momentous pivot point of the Winter Solstice of 2012. And we have been talking about it for more than a year since that point. Is it coming? Is it here? And most importantly:

Are you excited about taking a quantum leap forward in your life?

I am excited! And I do sense this is the time. Rosemary says this:

Now is the time! The world around you is showing you in not-too-subtle ways that you have turned the corner into the place where you are facing the biggest shift of your life. Are you willing to shift?

But notice something here: she is not talking about something on the outside; this is not necessarily a change that is coming at you. She says, “you have turned the corner.” Indeed we have all turned a corner and we now have to embrace what we have generated.

This “change energy” is an internal potential. The calendar has little to do with it other than to focus our attention and intention on a specific time. Yes, there are many factors pointing to this time as important: a Mayan calendar change, a rotation of the wheel of the Zodiac through to a new sign, other calendars, other potential physical shifts in galactic space, even a potential shift in the Earth’s magnetic poles.

But the shift Rosemary and I are talking about is a shift in consciousness. Yes, this shift may be influenced by one or more of these external factors. But, the important shift comes from within. This is a shift in awareness. This is a shift in who we think, and feel, we are as conscious beings.

So, the question of being ready does not motivate building a bomb shelter, stocking the basement with a year’s supply of food and water, getting all of our affairs in order or preparing in some physical way for impending earth changes. Preparation is an internal check-in; it is a matter of preparing our bodies, emotions, minds and spirits for the next phase of human evolution.

If you are reading this post you are a “cultural creative”, you are on the leading edge of expanding human consciousness. And you are key to this coming shift!

How do you get ready? That may be a personal question you must answer for yourself; you are likely already preparing, may even be fully prepared. Here’s what I’m doing:

I am meditating more – more frequently through the day and for longer periods of time. I am reading through the Kalachakra Tantra Rite of Initiation by His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Jeffery Hopkins. I am practicing yoga and qigong. I am practicing the six Transcendent Perfections of Buddhism (as best I can). I am attending to my body, speech and mind. And I am planning to attend the Kalachakra Initiation of 2014 in Ladakh, India this July.

I may not be ready for the “big shift” but I am “being the big shift.” I am practicing what I can to be prepared. And I am excited!

The Moon is new today at 4:38 pm Eastern Time. This marks the end of the old Lunar year and a shift into the Year of the Horse. I feel the energy gathering and galloping in. I am as ready as I can be for this shift and the bigger shifts to come.

I hope you are ready with me!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Get Ready for the Big Shift!

Are you ready? Are you prepared to shift? Are you excited about taking a quantum leap forward in your life?

Now is the time! The world around you is showing you in not-too-subtle ways that you have turned the corner into the place where you are facing the biggest shift of your life. Are you willing to shift?

Or are you feeling a bit scared and wishing you could turn around and go back to the way things were?

Think of a baby in the midst of the birthing process. What if the baby decided to turn around and stay inside Mommy? It might be thinking, ‘I don’t know what’s out there so I think I’ll just stay here where it’s comfy and warm.’

That is what you do when you choose not to grow, when you opt out of your next quantum leap, when you try to keep things just as they are.

It is easy to look around for the quantum leap when everything feels as if it is falling apart in your life. This is the point at which you might as well leap because there is just nothing for you if you stay stuck where you are. It is more difficult, though, to leap when things seem to be going smoothly and you don’t want to take a chance on ‘rocking the boat.’

Ah, that’s when the quantum leap is most powerful, however!

You are always at a point of choice about your life and how you will live it. You can always choose to resist the tide of change and remain stuck where you are, not doing the personal growth work that is available to you. But this choice takes so much energy that you will exhaust yourself and still be stuck. Why choose this?

When you decide to GROW you face a field filled with possibilities that beckon to you to leap in, choose a path, try it and decide to stay on that path or choose another one to try. When you fully participate in life and go for the quantum leap, even more possibilities will open up before you.

That’s how possibilities work. If you feel as if you are looking through a narrow field into choices that look like ‘either-or’ choices, one or the other opportunities, then it is your field of view that needs to change first. There are always possibilities, even if you cannot see them in this moment. There are plenty of possibilities that are the ‘and’ kind, the ones where you can have this AND that. But if you only look through the lens of ‘either-or’ you will miss all the other options!

This is a time filled with great potential for each person on Planet Earth. The energy field is shifting. The magnetic field, the poles, the very Planet herself – all are contributing energy to support you in making your Big Shift.

We are in the Center of the Milky Way Galaxy, looking out in every direction at the rest of the Galaxy. Where would you like to leap? You have the power to move forward in any direction.

Shift and leap. Examine the possibilities in 360 degrees around you. Reach out beyond the first ones that you see and look for the possibilities that might seem to be just beyond your reach. Make bodacious claims for yourself about who you are and who you can be.

Shift. It is a choice and there is an amazing world of possibilities just beyond your view. Leap into it!

My Two-Minute Video for this Week: The Big Shift is Coming!

WHERE’S ROSEMARY?

I am just coming down from a fabulous “playshop” I conducted this past Saturday. Now I get to implement my own “guidebook for 2014.” We all worked on our guidebooks as a group; now they will not only guide us, but we will keep them updated as our lives unfold! The event was so successful I plan to make it an annual affair.

Meanwhile I’m moving on with my book and my networking activities are slowing a bit while I focus on that! Hope to see you when we can meet up!

Here’s where I’ll be:

***On Purpose Networking, Connections over Coffee*** 
Friday, January 31, 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, Columbia, MD

Hope to see you there!

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

whirlpool plusHello from chilly, wintry Maryland!

Get ready for the New Year! Lunar New Year, that is. With our second New Moon this month, on Thursday, January 30, at 4:36 pm Eastern Standard Time, we have another opportunity in January to invite in new possibilities. The Chinese New Year of the Wood Horse starts on Friday, January 31, honoring the Moon Cycle of the year. The energy of the coming week is about cleaning up the old ‘stuff’ from last year and maybe even from decades of ‘old thinking.’

Have you broken any of your New Year’s Resolutions from the Western New Year, January 1? Don’t feel bad! Lots of folks make resolutions but find them difficult to maintain and, by the end of January, they’re out the window and those same folks are feeling that they’ve somehow failed, perhaps with a ‘yet again’ attached.

That’s why we in RosemarySpace don’t believe in those old-fashioned resolutions! We start the year with Chinese New Year and get through the January blahs, the packing up of holiday decorations, the putting away of or returning of gifts, the clearing out of the old year’s junk so that we can pull in the new energy of the year with this Lunar New Year New Moon.

The Possibilities Playshop is deliberately scheduled for just before this New Year so that all those resolutions that you might have thought you ‘should’ make can be out the window while you ponder who you want to BE in the New Year! Even if you can’t join us TOMORROW for the Playshop, you can still benefit by registering to receive the bonuses, exercises, materials list, etc. and the recording of the Playshop so that you can experience this new way of approaching the year at your own leisure. When you join in the fun you’ll be ‘playing’ with creating a guidebook for 2014, practicing tuning in to your own guidance for the year, planning little surprises and rewards for yourself through the year, clearing blocks and fears that might hold you back, and lots of other activities/visualizations that wil l help you with your focus on being who you ARE. AFTER you create your guidebook, you can plan what you will DO, but you will be a much more powerful planner when you have already claimed the YOU that you want to BE! For you, as a subscriber to the MuseLetter, there is a discount code so that you can register to receive the recording and all the other goodies, at the Early Bird Discount rate of only $97 – enter coupon code PLAY to get your discount. Here’s where you’ll find more info: PlayShop Link

I’m thinking of making this an annual event as a way to start each year with a focus on BEing vs. DOing. Feedback on this idea is appreciated!

We had our first big snow in Maryland! 6+ inches is a lot for us to shovel. [OK, Richard did all the shoveling!] Tara, our Lhasa Apso, must remember that her breed is originally from Himalayan Tibet because she loves the cold weather and the snow. I like to look at it from the comfort of INSIDE my warm home! I am hunkering down during these winter months to get the book done – hurray! You might not see me at as many networking events or gatherings because this is ‘cave time’ for those of us in the northern hemisphere. I hope my efforts to get the book written result in a good experience for the readers. Stay tuned to the saga! I have blocked off some time to continue to do private consultations each week so send me an email if you’d like some help getting yourself clear about goals, direction, next steps for this year or if you have some blocks you’re ready to clear. rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com

Stay warm! Although my friends Down Under keep posting on facebook about how hot they are. Shall I send you some snow?

Have a week filled with New Ideas!!!

Possibilities Are Right in Front of You – Richard’s Commentary

Rosemary opens her post with a wonderful belief:

The ‘possible’ is constantly under attack because someone thinks it is improbable, or impossible, or difficult, or ‘not the way we do things.’

I call this a belief because it comes from an optimist! Optimists believe in the “possible” – and everything is possible!

I’ve been an optimist my whole life. I too believe anything is possible. This doesn’t mean everything I’ve ever attempted in life has succeeded, been possible in the long-haul. But this hasn’t changed my basic belief.

One of my last major programs for the company I retired from a few years ago was a satellite-based tracking system that we targeted to long-haul trucking companies. The idea was to offer a low-cost, easily installed device that could pin-point a unit’s location and even communicate with the driver using text messaging. The concept was developed long before smart phones, texting, immediate GPS-based location services, super-cheap hardware and ubiquitous cell-phone coverage. We developed the technology from the ground up and partnered with a new satellite company. We faced many hurdles, delays, technology short-fall, cost-creep and even market push-back. I was in charge of marketing and welcomed the possibility of major market penetration. I became really excited when we developed a device to track truck trailers when they were decoupled from their trucks. In fact during testing with a customer we actually located and recovered two trailers that had been stolen and taken into Mexico; we even helped recover the load on the trailers!

Exciting, right? My sales team began to take orders. The “pipeline” was growing! Major possibility here! Then…further delay; satellites didn’t launch as scheduled; technology failed; delivery of component parts was late; competing technology came on strong; and the company, wisely, withdrew development funding from my program. I took nearly a year to shut the program down, redistribute staff, sell off piece-parts, resolve lawsuits and close the program office.

Possibility turned to failure. I look back on this as a wonderful example of a “possibility right in front of me.” In this case it was handed to me; and I grabbed it and took it as far as I could. The program did not succeed; but I did! I made sales. I installed units and they recovered stolen equipment. That possibility was realized. And, oh by the way, I had a heck of a good time doing my darnedest to make the whole thing work. I even learned a great deal about the trucking industry! There was a lot of success inside this program that I look back on with good feelings and pride.

Eternal optimist? Yes. And I have had many great possibilities fall into my lap since that “failed” program. They keep on coming. My next one for 2014 involves a major trip mid-year that is exactly inline with my purpose and my entire world-view. It may be the biggest possibility of my life so far. I will be sharing more about this possibility as it unfolds, as I unfold it! Stay tuned!

Are you an optimist? Do you look at all the possibilities right in front of you? Do you follow Rosemary’s advice?

There are possibilities right in front of you but you may have donned your filter-glasses so that you can’t see them. Take off the glasses. Part the veil. Reach for the possibilities and stop listening to anyone who tells you that you can’t do it.

Impossible things are happening everyday!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Possibilities Are Right in Front of You

The ‘possible’ is constantly under attack because someone thinks it is improbable, or impossible, or difficult, or ‘not the way we do things.’

This year, embrace ‘possibilities’ as your theme. Search for the possible. Learn to recognize the possible. Talk about the possible. Catch yourself cancelling an idea before you’ve explored the possibilities. Catch other people trying to squash your dreams of what is possible for you.

So often we start out making a plan, setting goals, creating ‘resolutions’ because we think we should. The first rule of goal-setting is that it be realistic. ‘Realistic’ can be the enemy of ‘possible.’

Now, realistic can also just be realistic. But I have seen too many dreams crushed under the accusation that they are not realistic and therefore must be discarded.

What would happen today in the US if the President were to suggest that, in a decade or less, we would walk on the Moon? And, yet, despite all the naysayers, this country made that happen. (I know, there are those who say we didn’t really do that but, remember, I worked for NASA on the Hubble Space Telescope Project and I don’t think they can create a coverup that big!)

Possibilities draw us up to our greatness. Possibilities stretch us beyond what is comfortable and realistic to the former you and invite you to grow, to expand, to explore beyond what you already know into the possible you.

What is possible for you to consider? What dreams do you have that you can pursue?

In working with clients I sometimes have to catch them speaking a belief as if it is a rock-solid truism about how the Universe works. When we address that belief AS a belief, the world of possibilities can open up for them and the excitement starts.

Who is limiting you? Not ‘what’ is limiting you, but ‘who’? The answer is YOU. Even if you think you can list a bunch of folks who are holding you back, the real answer is YOU. You are believing the limitations of the past, the definition of ‘realistic’ that someone else has planted as a truism. You believe of yourself that you might not be able to reach for that dream and so you decide not to reach at all, rather than suffer the indignation of a potential failure.

There are so many possibilities and they are lurking right in front of you but they might be hiding behind that veil of illusion. Take some time alone to reach behind the veil and see what is there. What might you do if you forget about how you will accomplish it and just seek the possibilities? What dreams may lie beyond the veil that you haven’t dared to dream because you didn’t think they were realistic?

Our stories and myths contain all sorts of impossible things happening. Cinderella marries the Prince. Rodgers and Hammerstein even wrote a song for their version of Cinderella titled ‘Impossible’ that contains the line, ‘Impossible things are happening everyday.’ Rumpelstiltskin thought it was impossible that the miller’s daughter would guess his name but guess it she did.

There are possibilities right in front of you but you may have donned your filter-glasses so that you can’t see them. Take off the glasses. Part the veil. Reach for the possibilities and stop listening to anyone who tells you that you can’t do it.

Reach for the Moon. Impossible things are happening everyday!
