NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

September 18, 2010 — Rosemary

Don’t you just love Fall?  The weather in Colorado this time of year is perfect!  I’m happy to be home even if it’s only for a week.  The leaves are starting to turn, the nights are cool and comfortable.  Although I love Spring, I think Autumn is my favorite season.  We’re getting ready to settle in for the winter and get cozy in front of the fireplace.  Do you look forward to cool days where you live?  [Happy Spring to our friends Down Under!]

The Autumnal Equinox arrives on September 22 at 9:09 PM Mountain Time.  This is the day of equal light and darkness.  I’ll be in Phoenix, Arizona with my MPC Platinum Coaching buddies that day and will take time to honor the Equinox.  In Colorado Springs we’ll be having our celebration on Sunday, September 19, at the Sundays at the Center Celebration at 11:00 AM.  We’ll gather at the Center for Powerful Living and after the Celebration we’ll share a potluck lunch while visiting and sharing ideas for the group for the coming year.  This is the 1st anniversary of our Sunday Celebrations – if you’re in the area we’d love to have you join us!

Mercury has gone direct – hallelujah!  And we have a Full Moon on September 23rd at 3:17 AM Mountain Time.  Remember that this is a time to release any old energies that aren’t serving you.  Get rid of the ‘stuff’ you don’t need so that new energies can come in.  The Equinox leads us to find balance in our lives.  Start with making space, emptiness for the Universe to fill with all sorts of good things!  And watch out for ‘luna-tic’ drivers!

I’m heading back to Phoenix for the MPC Platinum Retreat with Ali Brown.  If you’re joining me there, I’ll be at the hotel before and after the retreat and am offering private sessions/ mystic readings for my friends.  Let’s get together!

In October, I’ll be offering opportunities for you to attend a Conversation with The Other Side via phone or webinar so you don’t have to be in Colorado to participate.  The first one is scheduled for October 20th so stay tuned for details.  You can get more information on the website.  www.TheScientificMystic.com

Enjoy the weather and the great outdoors wherever you are!  Happy Autumn!

BOOK LIGHTS: “The New Codependency: Help and Guidance for Today’s Generation”

September 15, 2010 — Rosemary

“I’d spent two years trying to get into a relationship, and the next five trapped, clawing my way out.  I obsessed until my head ached.  Literally, it hurt.  I didn’t know what feelings were.  Whenever I said I felt something, people said, ‘Don’t feel that!”

from The New Codependency:
Help and Guidance for Today’s Generation
by Melody Beattie

Have you ever doubted your own feelings?  Melody Beattie describes so well how we can be in situations that cause all sorts of reactions within us but people tell us not to feel what we are feeling!  Don’t let that doubt about how you feel creep in.  Examine your feelings.  Feel your feelings.  Get the learnings from them and then let them go.  They are there for your personal growth.  Don’t let others tell you not to feel what you feel!

MUSE-INGS: Do not water the seeds of doubt!

September 14, 2010 — Rosemary

Doubt seems to have a lot of power in one’s life.  It can choke out the Light that is unfolding in you, just as a weed chokes out the life in a garden.  When we attach our thoughts to doubt we invite that energy to take us over.  Have you ever followed a path of doubt so far into the darkness that you couldn’t see any way back to the Light?  It’s easy to do because doubt in ourselves is so easily reinforced by others around us.  Sometimes it is even planted by those who are supposed to be supporting us.  Teachers set low expectations for a student who starts to believe that they will never be an academic success.  Parents compare their child unfavorably to another child and create doubt about worthiness.  Teenagers gossip about others and create insecurities in each other.  Society says we must be beautiful, rich, thin in order to be successful, and we must drive a certain car, drink a certain drink, wear certain clothes to be attractive to the opposite sex.  Who hasn’t doubted that they measure up to these rulers of society?

Doubt can be seductive in its attractiveness.  What masquerades as humility, which we are taught is an admirable quality, can actually be doubt in our merit, our own self-worth.  We are taught not to brag about our achievements or our good qualities but isn’t that a false modesty?  Why is doubt a better choice than self-acceptance and self-confidence?

In a relationship, doubt can often create a chasm between people who have not developed healthy communication skills.  One partner starts to doubt and holds back a part of self from the other.  The seed of doubt grows with every thought, often way out of proportion to the original circumstance, but once it starts to grow it takes on a life of its own.  Relationships can be ended because someone watered and fertilized a seed of doubt until it took over the whole relationship.

What can we do when we start to feel doubt?  The first thing to do is to examine the source of the doubt.  Did someone else create it or did we attach our thoughts to doubt as it arose in us?  Sometimes determining the source is all that is needed to dismiss a feeling before it attaches and grows.  If you are feeling doubt, ask yourself, ‘What is this?  Is this real?’  We often react to something that is difficult to believe by doubting that it is true, without ever taking the time to ascertain the facts.

And if you are feeling doubt about yourself, your self worth, your abilities, then look at what is behind the doubt.  Did it start in your childhood because of a belief you held at that time?  Are you believing what someone else has said about you without checking inside yourself for your truth?  Are you avoiding accepting your own inner greatness because you are afraid to claim it?  Sometimes the doubt is not about worthiness but about the magnitude of your own worth in the world.

When you attach yourself to thoughts of doubt you are moving yourself away from your own Inner Light and the source of Universal Light.  Think about the story in the movie ‘Doubt’ where people acted on what they thought they saw, or how they interpreted a situation without really ever determining the facts.  This path led to anguish in the doubters and choices all around that caused pain.

It is time now for us to commit to dispelling doubt because it doesn’t serve the highest good of all.  If you doubt that something is true, then instead of feeding the doubt, determine the truth.  If you feel that you are unworthy, if you doubt yourself and your abilities, then find a way to examine the source of that feeling and accept yourself as the Being of Light that you are.  Choose what you will believe and choose to believe in yourself.  Doubt arises only as a flag to get your attention. Resolve today to use it as such.

I believe in your Inner Splendor!  If you still have problems with doubting yourself, then just remember that!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Move beyond doubt!

September 13, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Where there is doubt, let there be Light, for the Light chases away doubt. Doubt comes from dark thoughts, from believing that one is separate from the Light. Doubt begins because a seed has been planted like a weed in a garden of Light. If the seed of doubt is watered and fertilized it takes over the garden, just as a weed does.

You must make sure that you are not watering and fertilizing the seeds of doubt that blow into your personal garden of Light. Sometimes these seeds come from society and societal beliefs, sometimes from people in your life. Sometimes they develop from previous life experiences that are not truly representative or relevant to your current situation.  Be aware that doubt is the enemy of enlightenment. Doubt chokes out the Light that is unfolding within you.

There is only one purpose in doubt – it points to the place in your life that is begging for attention. Do you doubt that you can be successful?  Then examine how you are limiting or even sabotaging your own success. Do you doubt that you can have healthy relationships? Then examine how you are not in a healthy relationship within yourself, or how you can be or become the kind of person/partner you wish to attract. Do you doubt that you can find happiness or even that you deserve happiness? Then examine your definition of happiness and ask if you are looking outside yourself for something that must come from within.

Do not doubt, Dear Ones, that you are less than perfect just as you are, for that which you might label as an ‘imperfection’ in yourself at the moment is merely the pointer for your current lesson.

Conscious Living demands that the individual live a self-examined life. To slide through life without honestly examining one’s inner existence, inner workings and the choices one makes leads one away from happiness and fulfillment. Human beings have an awareness of Self that can lead to extraordinary leaps of consciousness when they look for growth through that awareness and understanding. Many, though, choose to live in denial of their own power to effect the course of their lives, preferring instead to give away that power to external sources.

You are not a canoe with no one to paddle and steer, being carried through life by the flow of the river. No, you are the one with the paddles, choosing your life’s direction in every moment. You choose whether to go with the flow or paddle upstream. You choose how to avoid obstacles or go through them. You choose which branch of the river to follow when you reach a fork. Do not hand those paddles over to someone else. Do not doubt that you are in charge of the direction of your life.

You may not be able to control the weather or the obstacles in your path, but your life is not controlled by those. Your Life is how you respond to those things over which you have no control.

Never doubt that you always have choices about how you respond to challenges. If you allow doubt to control you, then you are giving away the paddles of your canoe.

Keep paddling. Open yourself to guidance. Look at challenges as information, as opportunities for growth, for there is great Light awaiting you on the other side of every lesson. Claim your own power and seek the Light. You will always be rewarded for making this choice.

And so it is.

(Late) NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

September 13, 2010 — Rosemary

Hello; (just returned) from sunny and warm Phoenix, Arizona!  We’re attending Baeth Davis’ Life Purpose Summit and it’s been wonderful to connect with friends from different parts of our tribe.  We had our hands analyzed and are looking at the messages from our fingerprints – Life Purpose, Life Lessons and Life School.  This is a fascinating way to approach business development and we’re having a lot of fun as we learn.

How was this week’s New Moon for you?  The energy is ramping up so invite into your life what you would like to manifest.  Mercury goes direct, that is, stops its apparent backward motion, on Sunday, September 12th so we’ll be able to have clearer communications and fewer snafus.  Hurray!  Contracts can be signed after that without the concern that everything will have to be redone.  Did you feel creative during this retrograde period?  Perhaps you were born during a time when it appeared on Earth as if Mercury was going backward in its path in the sky.  Enjoy the last couple of days of connecting to that creativity!

If you’d like to connect to your guidance for the new season that is rapidly approaching, schedule a reading or a personal empowerment strategy session with me to bring into clear focus what is yours to do and to be in the coming months.  This is a good time to set your intentions and clear away the blocks to your moving forward.  Send me an email at rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com to reserve your time in the schedule.

I’ll be at the Ali Brown MPC Platinum Retreat back in Phoenix September 21-26 and will be offering private sessions during that week.  If you are attending the retreat and would like to spend some time with Your Muse, let me know as those slots are filling fast!

If you’re in Colorado Springs and would like to join us for the Sunday Celebration at the Center for Powerful Living, we’ll be having a potluck luncheon after the Celebration on September 19th [celebrating our 1st anniversary!] and we’ll be talking about what’s coming up in the next year.  The Spiritual Exploration Group is meeting on Monday, the 13th, the second Monday this month because of the holiday.  Join us at Little Nepal Restaurant on S. 8th Street at 6:30 pm for dinner and ‘discussion, not dogma’ as we share how we practice our spirituality.  The calendar on the website has all the details for both events.

As we get ready for Autumn and watch the leaves starting to change, be sure to take care of yourself.  The change of seasons is a good time to do a detox program, shift your exercise routine, get a massage.  Remember that you must serve from the overflow in the saucer AFTER your cup has been filled, or you will end up with an empty cup! [Thank you, Lisa Nichols, for that image!]

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert

September 8, 2010 — Rosemary
“Sean, my Yogic Irish dairy farmer, explained it to me this way.  ‘Imagine that the universe is a great spinning engine,’ he said.  ‘You want to stay near the core of the thing – right in the hub of the wheel – not out at the edges where all the wild whirling takes place, where you can get frayed and crazy.  The hub of calmness – that’s your heart.  That’s where God lives within you.  So stop looking for answers in the world.  Just keep coming back to that center and you’ll always find peace.'”

from Eat, Pray, Love
by Elizabeth Gilbert

‘The hub of calmness – that’s your heart.’  Do you meditate?  Journal?  Sit sometimes and calm your thoughts?  It is in this place of stillness that you will find the Self of Self Love.  I love this model of the Universe as a spinning engine.  You want to avoid the outer edges where the craziness is.  Here is where the messages bombard you and they have nothing to do with who you are at your center.  Find a way to get centered and you will learn to quiet those other voices.

MUSE-INGS: How many times do we need to hear: “Love yourself.”?

September 7, 2010 — Rosemary

Whenever there is a message about loving yourself, I wonder how many times we need to hear this!  Love yourself.  No matter what messages you receive, no matter what someone else believes and tries to get you to believe, no matter what has happened in the past, no matter what you have done – forgive yourself and love yourself.

Sometimes people hear this message and dismiss it because people do bad things, therefore they must be evil people.  And I am not such a Pollyanna that I believe there is no evil in the world.  But  I learned an important message decades ago during my first retreat with Dr. Bernie Siegel.  He had us all imagine we were holding a tiny newborn baby, looking into that innocent face.  We all felt a wave of Love.  Then he told us that that baby had grown up.  Where is the Love?

We judge others.  Let’s admit that.  Some of us try very hard not to do this, but, at some level, we do it, even unconsciously.  And once we are in judgment it is difficult to find the Love.

This kind of Love is not conditional on behavior that meets our standards.  No one must work hard to earn this Love.  There is nothing to do that changes someone from unlovable to lovable.  Every human being on Planet Earth was once that tiny, innocent baby, lovable because it was born.  Sometimes, when someone has done something that hurts us, it is hard to remember that we once loved them or that they were once that lovable baby.  This kind of Love is a decision, not a sweet emotion or infatuation.  This deep Love comes from a place within us that knows the truth of our very existence – that we are timeless, spiritual beings who are having an experience of Life on Earth.  When we remember who WE are then we are free to share Love with others.

All Love starts with Self Love.  Really listen to that statement.  All Love starts with Self Love.  The Self within you is the radiant presence of the Divine, your connection to the Source in the Universe, to Spirit.  Self Love starts here.  And this kind of Love demands that you accept yourself, with all your warts and foibles and the lessons you are in the process of learning.  That Self within loves you unconditionally!

Accept that you are lovable.  To believe otherwise is the true self-absorption of the ego!  Love your Self.  Then love yourself.  Do you want to change?  Love yourself enough to do so.  What parts of you do you accept no matter what others say or believe about you?  Accept them.  This is only about YOU and your eternal Self.  Others don’t define who you are at your core.  You are lovable because you ARE.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Learn the Lessons and Love Yourself

September 6, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,
What are you listening to in your Life today?  What kind of music?  What kind of nature sounds?  What kind of outside noises?  But, most importantly, what kind of messages are you ingesting in your daily Life?

If you watch a lot of TV, you are being bombarded by messages, from newscasters, from commercials, from people who express opinions that may or may not be based on fact and intellectual analysis.  Whatever you read, whether the newspaper or a novel, a non-fiction or a textbook, contains messages that are being absorbed by your psyche and often accepted unconsciously as true for you.

The most insidious messages are being accepted by your unconscious mind because they come from someone you trust, even someone you love and whom you thought loved you.  Parents are comparing their children to others with the subtle message that their child is not good enough.  Superiors at work are giving out criticisms thinking they are focusing on getting the job done but the employee is hearing, ‘I can’t do anything right.’  Teachers have a pet who gets the best grades and other students think they’re not lovable because they aren’t as academically successful.  The list goes on and on.  And sometimes the saddest case is when a life partner criticizes or ‘puts down’ their partner, implying, again, that they are not ‘good enough’ or that they are ‘unlovable.’

What messages have you embraced that are not about your inherent goodness but you believe them because someone you trust or trusted in the past told you they were true?  How many religious leaders have told their congregations that they are not worthy, not good enough?  Have you ever taken the time to examine what you do and do not believe about yourself?  Have you ever asked yourself WHY you believe some things that you believe?

Today is the day to start examining your thoughts, your beliefs about yourself and who you really are.  You are a person with a big heart.  You have a good mind.  You are worthy of being treated well, by all those with whom you come into contact.  You are lovable, just the way you are today.  There is nothing that you need to do to earn anyone else’s love.  You can give love to others.  You can figure out the solutions you need or you can ask for help, which you deserve to receive.  You have always been this way.  You have always deserved to be loved, so if Life has given you experiences that contradict this, then examine those experiences and ask yourself if they were about the other person and not about you. [They were.]

That little baby who was you a few years ago is still as lovable as he or she was then.  That baby lives within you.  If you are resisting these words today, then get in touch with that tiny, innocent baby and love it.  Grow that love up to today.  Everything you have done or been in the past has helped you to grow into the person you are today.  Accept that with gratitude.  Every behavior you have exhibited, every choice you have made, has helped you to evolve.  If you are feeling stuck, then examine your current situation for the learning that is there.  There is ALWAYS something to learn, so if you are stuck it is because you haven’t finished what you need to experience.

Forgive yourself for the choices that you have made.  You did the best you could in that moment.  Knowing what you know now you might make a different choice, but in that moment you made a choice that brought you lessons, albeit painful ones sometimes.  Forgive others.  This does not mean that you must believe that what has harmed you is acceptable and it does not mean that you must stay in relationship with people who have or continue to hurt you.  But to hold onto anger and unforgiveness harms you without resolving the issue or, indeed, having anything to do with the other person.  Forgiving others means deciding that you will no longer give them power over your own Life.  You choose now to release whatever strings they have been holding that continue to affect your Life.  Let them go to learn their own lessons – then you can be complete with yours.

Learn the lessons and love yourself in the process.  Life is really as simple as that!

And so it is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

September 4, 2010 — Rosemary

Hello from the beautiful Rocky Mountains in the Vail Valley of Colorado!  This is our annual working retreat, to catch the aspens as their leaves start to change colors, to hear amazing music at the Vail Jazz Festival, and to plan the next year.  It was a delight to be in the mountains last night at an elevation about 1000 feet higher than our house and to be COLD!!!  I love when Summer starts to turn to Fall.

Welcome to our readers who have recently joined this ezine list!  We’re happy to have you joining us in RosemarySpace.  And if someone has sent you this email why not sign up for your own copy?  When you go to www.TheScientificMystic.com you can download a free audio meditation.

Be aware that there is a New Moon on Wednesday, September 8th, at 4:30 AM Mountain Time.  The days leading up to a New Moon have a kind of stale, old moon energy.  Check for old ideas that you are ready to get rid of.  Clear your space of old ‘stuff,’ literal and figurative, that you can release. Then create a little ritual for the New Moon to invite in some new energy for the coming weeks.  This ritual can be as simple as lighting a candle when you get up on Wednesday, or throwing away something old and then writing a note to yourself about what new energies you are inviting in.  Come up with something meaningful and celebrate!  And if you’d like some help with clearing old limiting beliefs and negative thoughts, this is a good time to schedule a private Personal Empowerment Strategy Session with Your Muse.  I have some slots available in early October. Contact me at Rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com.

We’re traveling most of this month.  Heading to Phoenix next week for Baeth Davis’ Life Purpose and Passion Summit.  Let me know if you’re planning to be there, too!    Hope you are enjoying this transition time, even though Mercury is still retrograde [until the 12th]!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “Smart Women Know Their Why”

September 1, 2010 — Rosemary

“…the fear of growth itself.  This is the fear at the core of why one consciously or subconsciously chooses to stay where they are, even when in pain.  Growth changes you at a cellular level and it is uncomfortable sometimes.  Successful, happy people get used to the energy of growth and instead turn the uncomfortable feeling into excitement.  So when fear of growth surfaces, they know they are on the right track and likely heading in the right direction.”

from Smart Women Know Their Why
by Sheri McConnell

It is often the fear of growth, the fear of this change at the cellular level, that keeps us from examining our beliefs and thoughts.  What if I have to change and change is uncomfortable?  Well, I would suggest asking, instead, What if I DON’T change and opportunities pass me by because I’m choosing to stay stuck?  If our own beliefs and thoughts are holding us back then we can change them and move forward.  Let’s make that an exciting thing to do!

Rosemary
