This week the theme is getting over ourselves – to stop the self-sabatoge. Today’s throwback video continues this theme and addresses releasing blocks. It’s from about a year ago:
ROSEMARY’S INSPIRATION: What Are You Holding Back in Yourself?

ROSEMARY’S NEWS
October 6, 2014 — Rosemary
Back in Maryland in time for the amazing East Coast Autumn and the changing of the leaves. I love the slightly crisp air of Autumn and the brilliant colors around here!
We had a great time visiting our son, daughter-in-law and new grandson in California. I am grateful that they are visiting here soon so that I can get my hands on that little one again. If we’re friends on facebook you’ve probably seen pictures of the cutie. If we’re not friends yet, find me: Rosemary Robertson Bredeson, and enjoy the posts.
Big week in the skies! Mercury goes Retrograde on Saturday, October 4 at 1:02 pm Eastern Daylight Time. This means that, when we look at Mercury from our vantage point on Earth, the planet appears to be moving backward. The energy of Mercury Retrograde is to go inward and review, revamp, reassess. Where are you and where are you heading? Are you, too, going backward in your life or are you moving forward?
Mercury Retrograde also causes people to be distracted so drive carefully, read and re-read before you sign anything, and don’t hit ‘Send’ until you are certain you really want the recipient to read what you wrote! It only lasts until October 25, so hang in there!
On Wednesday, October 8 at 6:51 am Eastern Daylight Time, there will be a Full Moon in Aries and a total Lunar Eclipse. We should get a good view in the US although the Moon will just be setting on the East Coast.
All Full Moons are potent opportunities to let go of what no longer serves us and this one gives us illumination of what those things might be. The Sun in Libra and the Moon in Aries help us to learn about the need for balancing the Masculine with the Feminine, inside us as well as around us in the world.
According to The Mountain Astrologer, this Full Moon has the ‘potential for life-changing revelations and shifts in consciousness.’ Will you be a part of the transformation?
Join Richard and me on Saturday, October 25 for the Mystical Marriage Workshop: Finding Balance in an Unbalanced World. We will be sharing guidance for getting in touch with your inner masculine and inner feminine as well as how to bring those into balance inside you. This is where Peace begins. Peace in you radiates outward and creates Peace around you. Learn more here: Mystical Marriage Space is limited so reserve your place today! We’ll be in person in Severna Park, Maryland.
Remember that I am offering The Oracle Speaks every Sun sign period. The Libra event is on Wednesday, October 15 at 7:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time. You can join us in person, online or via telephone. I will be channeling The Divine Feminine with a message for receiving abundance and prosperity in the last quarter of 2014. I believe there will be some teaching from The Sirius Mystery Temple Teachers, as well. Join us for this fun and enlightening evening! You can ask questions, too! More info here: The Oracle Speaks
May the Force of the Full Moon help you along your way this week!
ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Hostage Situation – Inside Yourself?
October 3, 2014 — RosemaryWhat part of you is holding another part hostage?
If that question is hard to answer, then try this one: What is Fear keeping you from doing in your life?
We have so many fears, many of them unconscious, and they can cripple our progress through life. Sometimes it is a fear of public speaking (have you heard that this is often greater than the fear of death?) or it might be a fear of spiders. Some have a fear of flying that keeps them from enjoying vacations to distant lands.
But most of the fears that I see with clients represent a conflict between a part that wants to step forward and a part that is afraid to do that.
It can be around any issue: a relationship, a job, money, family, taking a risk, making a decision. There is a feeling of wanting to move and yet, at the same time, a sense of paralysis.
Have you ever felt this way? Perhaps you are feeling this today around something that is going on in your life.
What have you thought about doing that you are not doing YET? What has been hanging around waiting for the perfect time for you to commit to it? Where do you want to go in your life that you have been afraid to move toward?
There is always some fear lurking in the issue when we feel torn about a decision or making a move in a certain direction. Sometimes the fear is that we don’t know what to do next. It might be a fear that we’ll make the wrong decision or choice and there will be consequences.
The part inside of you that is holding you hostage to a fear may not be revealing the exact nature of that fear to you. Often a client will come to me with one issue and the REAL issue is something behind the one they can see.
I spent a VIP Day with a client once who wanted to plan out her business and marketing as we discussed in her preparatory session. She came with calendars and plans in hand. What happened during our hours together, though, showed why she had been unable to get those plans organized.
There were family issues to be resolved before her unconscious mind would allow her to leap forward in her business. We spent most of the time working through the blocks and fears that had been lurking behind her indecisiveness.
After the work of clearing those blocks and fears, we sailed through the business part of the planning!
That is the power of CLEARING THE FEAR! When a part of you is being held hostage by a fearful part, you must learn what the fear is and how to satisfy the part that holds the fear BEFORE you can take the next step in whatever area of your life where you feel stuck.
How are you holding yourself back in your life? Have you identified the fear?
Move the fear out of the way so that you can move freely toward the life you desire!
ROSEMARY’S THROWBACK THURSDAY VIDEO: Today is Your Birthday!
October 2, 2014 — RosemaryOur theme this week has been about “birthdays” – birthing babies, birthing new projects by choosing to move forward with new ideas, new thoughts. Today’s throwback is from a bit over a year ago. Every day is a birthday for your next step!
Create Your Baby! – Richard’s Commentary
October 1, 2014 — RichardRosemary and I just returned to the East Coast from LA and our first visit to our newest grandson, the baby who was the inspiration for Rosemary’s post this past Friday. It is wonderful to have a baby in the family again, even one who is 3000 miles away! We are now inspired to see him often, to watch him grow and to nurture him along his way, as only grandparents can!
And by writing this I have formed my own “baby”, one of my “next steps” in the process of living the life I choose. My intention is to play a significant role in Tristan’s life, no matter where his parents choose to live. Meeting him and being with him this past week reinforced his “calling” to us for our attention! Now I just have to make it all happen. How?
The answer is in Rosemary’s post:
The most important choice that you make is the choice of thoughts that you will think.
Really. This is most important. Your thoughts really do create your reality. Many people try to deny this but worrying about something you DON’T want energizes that which you don’t want. You want to program your unconscious mind to focus energy on that which you DO want and you make this happen by choosing your thoughts to support the direction of your creative dream.
So, I am choosing to think that I will spend significant time with Tristan as he grows and develops no matter how far apart we may live. I have been traveling much of my life for much less important reasons; I intend to continue my journeying well into the future! And I do know that my thoughts and intentions create my reality. Here is a minor story to prove Rosemary’s point.
During our trip to LAX from “the Valley” yesterday traffic was heavy – imagine that! But we had allowed plenty of time and neither of us was worried about our schedule. My boarding pass indicated I was “pre-cleared” through TSA to even save time through security screening. Rosemary set two intentions as we approached the airport: an easy bag-check process and she would join me in the “pre-cleared” line! I was so confident that we were in good shape that I set no intentions for myself as I dropped her with the bags and then left to return the rental car. Here’s where my lesson began!
As we pulled up to curb-check the bags a car was about to pull away where I needed to be; after a brief wait I pulled into that spot right in front of the skycap desk. As I got out and popped the trunk a skycap came to help with the bags; it couldn’t have been easier! I left Rosemary to get the claim checks and raced off to the rental agency.
And I hit a wall of traffic on Century Boulevard! It had been shut down to one lane for an emergency repair. I crept a car length or two through each light cycle. I finally made it to a gas station to top off the tank before returning the car; there the pump wouldn’t take my credit card so I had to go into the store twice, once to get the pump on and once to retrieve the receipt! After a half-hour delay and increasing tension I finally got on the bus to return to the airport and join Rosemary.
Security wasn’t too bad by this time and I breezed through on my pre-clearance. And Rosemary? Yes, she did talk her way into the pre-cleared line as well! We made it to our gate with plenty of time to spare!
Once again the power of intention, that “thoughts really do create reality” hit me over the head! Rosemary had set her intention for a very smooth bag-check and screening process. I had not paid attention nor set intention for a very smooth rental return process! And as I became frustrated in the traffic jam my frustration was compounded at the gas station!
A trivial example perhaps, but: Really. This is most important. Your thoughts really do create your reality.
PS: We will be seeing Tristan in November as he travels to the east coast for a family visit and again in December as we travel to LA on business! Thoughts really do create our reality!
ROSEMARY’S INSPIRATION: What Are You Ready to Birth?
September 30, 2014 — RosemaryMy “Two-Minute” Video for this Week: What Are You Ready to Birth?
ROSEMARY’S NEWS
September 29, 2014 — Rosemary
We’ve met our Tristan! It is so exciting to be with our new grandbaby. You can Skype or FaceTime but it’s not the same as being together in person.
Babies always make me think of bringing something new into the world. New life, new projects, new ideas. We are still in the energy of the New Moon of September 24 so it is a good time to be focusing on new projects as the moon waxes.
We are also now in the Sun Sign of Libra – Harmony and Balance, Fairness and Justice. Bring harmony into your life without looking for a static kind of balance. Get into the flow. Creative energy flows and you must express it or you won’t be able to stay in balance.
If you’re wondering about your next step in the direction of your creative ideas, then listen on Wednesday, October 15 whenThe Oracle Speaks. I will be channeling The Divine Feminine to give you guidance about the energies of this Libra period. Join us in person in Maryland OR online OR on the phone. You can participate from wherever you are. AND you will be able to ask questions during the event. Get the details here and register to join us on Wednesday, October 15 at 7:00 pm Eastern Time.
Sorry this is so short this week but I need to get some Tristan time in! I’m loving having a new grandson! It’s amazing how much ‘grandma love’ keeps growing with each additional grandchild.
Have a great time being creative this week!
ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Create Your Baby!
September 26, 2014 — RosemaryWhat is waiting for you to create NOW? Not next year. Not someday. But now.
It is easy to dream up great ideas and to plan to make them become reality, but until you take action to create them in the physical plane, they will remain ideas. What is on your drawing board that is waiting for some action?
I am not a fan of regrets or of looking backwards, but when I hear someone say that they wish they had done something differently in the past, I want to suggest that they take action in THIS PRESENT MOMENT instead of looking to what might have been.
You are always at choice in your life. You are always ready to create your next ‘baby.’ No matter what the circumstances of this moment might look like to you, you can always choose to move in the direction of that creative idea, that dream.
What is one step that you can take to give a signal to the Universe that you are ready to make that dream become a reality? It doesn’t have to be huge. You don’t have to have all your ducks in a row. You don’t have to have worked out all the steps required to finish it.
You only need to know what the one next step needs to be.
And then you need to take that step!
Creating something requires a choice to move and an action to follow up that choice. Are you focusing on what you don’t have available? Are you focusing on the overwhelming nature of the full project instead of the requirements of the one step in front of you?
The most important choice that you make is the choice of thoughts that you will think.
Really. This is most important. Your thoughts really do create your reality. Many people try to deny this but worrying about something you DON’T want energizes that which you don’t want. You want to program your unconscious mind to focus energy on that which you DO want and you make this happen by choosing your thoughts to support the direction of your creative dream.
When you have a creative idea, when you get an inspiration, that idea exists in another dimension and you have been given access to that idea as the ‘keeper of the creation.’ It then becomes your responsibility to pursue that creation.
Do you feel that you have an overwhelming list of creative ideas and that you can’t possibly accomplish them all? This is a great place to be! You are being invited to capture the ideas and then to use your intuition to prioritize the development of those ideas into projects.
It is important to ask yourself, ‘Is it mine to take action on this idea?’ Sometimes your role is to receive the idea and then to hand it off to someone else or bring it to a team. Sometimes your creative idea meshes with someone else’s for great synergy.
But if you don’t take action in the direction of those creative ideas, how will you find the partner? How will you make everything come together? How will your creative idea ever become reality?
Start your creative process TODAY. Figure out your ONE NEXT STEP.
Nine months (or earlier!) from now, when your creative ‘baby’ is born you’ll be glad you took the action you decided to take today!

Hostage Situation – Inside Yourself? – Richard’s Commentary
October 8, 2014 — RichardI can certainly relate to Rosemary’s Exploration this week. And it’s not any one or big fear that holds me back from “living my richest life.” It’s usually little things. And when I move beyond the fear and look back I think: “what was I ever afraid of?”
Most of my little fears come from my childhood. I was an only child for a long time – my next brother came along when I was already eight. I was protected and even revered within my extend and large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. And because family was always there I didn’t have to venture out much into greater society.
So, when Rosemary asks: What part of you is holding another part hostage? I can usually point to my inner child – that protected and easy living six year-old.
Rosemary is exactly right when she says:
But most of the fears that I see with clients represent a conflict between a part that wants to step forward and a part that is afraid to do that.
It can be around any issue: a relationship, a job, money, family, taking a risk, making a decision. There is a feeling of wanting to move and yet, at the same time, a sense of paralysis.
My adult self always wants to step forward; I am usually energetic, decisive and know what I want. But sometimes that six year-old digs in his heals and sets up a block out of some weird sense of protectiveness.
Does this ever happen to you? Do you ever feel paralysis as you work toward an important goal? When this happens to me I usually have to go inside to work through the issue. Sometimes I even have a talk with the six year-old to calm any fears he may be experiencing. I remind him of several factors in the situation:
This inner dialogue can take several forms: meditation, writing, even sometimes a shamanic journey (for me this is similar to an inner guided meditation) to visit my places of safety and my power animals. I can even take my six year-old into the future to see the positive outcome and allay any further fear.
Of course using a coach or counselor is always an option. Inner child work can be very powerful and productive. The tools and help are there for all of us to “live our richest lives!”
