The theme this week has been about breaking through fear and finding all the things we have to celebrate. Life proceeds in cycles: sometimes we do have fear come up; we look for the lesson inside the fear; we “graduate” and step up from what we learn; then we take a break and celebrate our achievements!
My video today from 16 months ago is about these cycles. Enjoy the reminder to take a break and celebrate!
Have a beautiful day preparing for Halloween!
My “Two-Minute” Video for this Week: Choose to Celebrate!
How did you like the New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse of October 23? Everybody I talked to seemed to be going through major transformation during this week! We can go with the flow or resist, but change is happening and I think it’s more comfortable to go with the flow, don’t you?
The Sun is now in Scorpio so we are ready for Transformation with a capital ‘T’ and the eclipse catapults us into big change, ushering in the new and inviting us to allow the old stuff (things, relationships, beliefs) to be released. The good news is that Mercury, that planet of communication, stopped appearing to move backward (retrograde motion) and turned around to move forward again on Saturday, October 25 at 3:17 pm Eastern Daylight Time. The end of Mercury Retrograde periods usually means we can communicate without snafus and our emails might actually arrive at the intended recipient’s inbox! Something to celebrate!
I’m loving the cooler weather of Autumn and enjoying having no air conditioning or heating on in the house. There is something special about watching the animals prepare for winter – birds at the bird feeders, squirrels at the bird feeders, finding the bird feeder under a tree (raccoons taking off with the bird feeder) and seeing geese flying south for the Winter.
To help you plan your Autumn schedule, and because holiday calendars start to fill up early, here are a few upcoming events that we are holding in Maryland:
November 18 and December 11 — The Oracle Speaks, where I channel important messages from The Divine Feminine. The October 15 session was AMAZING!!! It was so much more than just information to be listened to – it was a transmission of energy to be experienced. I’m sorry if you weren’t with us live but the recording is available for purchase here Oracle Recording Several of us have listened to this multiple times and continue to get value from the guidance we received. This message will help you to get out of fear and understand who you really are and what your Purpose is.
I highly recommend adding this audio to your library. And join us for the November and December eventsso you can get the messages while they are being delivered. These are times of transformation. Get the help that is being offered as you shift to a higher level of consciousness for your life. You can join us via your computer or telephone so you don’t have to come to Maryland! (You can choose to join this even if you are in Maryland.) Each evening is a separate event. You may attend either or both. More Information and Registration
December 13 — Possibilities Playshop – It’s here again!!! Time to explore the possibilities for your 2015, have a very fun time creating your personal Possibilities Playbook, and hang out with some fun folks as you create your vision, clear some blocks, meet your guide, and leave with a Playbook to help you through the coming ‘moonths’ (Moon Cycles). I guarantee you will have some laughs and do some good work. It’s scheduled for 10-2 but each time we’ve done this folks want to hang around longer. Get more details here and reserve your spot early: Possiblities Playshop
Where’s Rosemary?
November 1 and 2 – A Community of Transformation (ACT) is presenting 2 events with Ashana playing her amazing and transformative music with crystal bowls and her angelic singing. I serve on the Board (Co-Creation Council) of ACT and we are very excited to be bringing Ashana back to Annapolis, Maryland for these events. You can check out the details and get tickets at www.actannapolis.org
December 5-7 at the Practice Building Breakthrough Event in LA with Christine Kloser and Brian Whetten. (Oh, and since our new little grandson is also in LA, we’ll be visiting family – woo hoo!)
Get ready to celebrate Halloween next week!!!
You are always at a point of choice about how you will respond to a given situation. The way it works is: an event happens, you have a knee-jerk reaction, and you respond. When you are living a conscious life, you pause after that knee-jerk reaction and CHOOSE how you will respond.
Life happens. Stuff happens to and around and in us. We have natural tendencies to react in a certain way. Your first response might be anger. It might be fear. It might be to blame someone else. It might be to assume that it is your fault. There are lots of ways that you can react to a stimulus.
But you CHOOSE the way you will respond to that stimulus. If you allow your unconscious mind to make the choice, it will choose to operate under the same strategies from which your knee-jerk reaction arose.
However, if you give yourself a chance to pause, you will have many more options for choosing a response.
There are a lot of fear-mongers who would invite you to feel fear. There are a lot of situations in the world that, when focused on, will generate fear. There are, though, a lot MORE situations that invite us to celebrate.
But do we focus on celebrating or on fear?
The chances are very slim that you will ever contract the Eboli virus. And, yet, many people are hysterically afraid of this disease which is, admittedly, not a fun thing to have. It is, however, very difficult to contract this disease. But you are certainly hearing a lot about it, often with an undertone of fear.
Now think about all the things that are going RIGHT with your body, right now, in this moment, as you read these words. You have molecules and atoms and cells and tissues and organs that are all functioning without your conscious mind having to direct the show. Air is going in and out of your lungs without your conscious effort, unless you choose to focus on your breathing.
The last meal you ate is digesting itself without your focus. You can reach for a drink of water without having to consciously fire off every muscle involved in the action. Your eyes and brain are working together to make sense of the images you read on this page.
In other words, there are a whole lot of reasons for you to celebrate your body!
Are you feeling fearful at the moment about something that hasn’t happened yet?
Allow that fear to invite you into celebration of something that IS HAPPENING in this present moment. Get into gratitude for things that are working the way you want them to work. Think about the volunteers around the globe who are selflessly serving others right now.
Think about the Sun rising every single morning without your assistance. The things that you worry about are possibilities that haven’t materialized yet. Even if you have a fear based on something that has already happened, is that fear leading to the resources to make the optimal choice of response or is it constricting your vision so much that you can’t see any other possibilities?
Celebrate! You are reading this. Fear reminds you that you have forgotten to celebrate what’s good, what’s going well. Choose to focus on celebrating and let the fear take a back seat. There’s always something to celebrate, even if it’s just that next breath that you take!
The theme this week has been about the changes, transitions and transformations we are all experiencing. We are in the middle of “The Big Shift”! Today’s “throwback video” is from January when I talked about the coming “big shift.” Well, now we are in the thick of it. And you still have time to adjust, to realize we are in transition and take the steps needed to move smoothly through to the Transformation!
PS: If you would like some additional support during this transition time, the message I channeled from The Divine Feminine on October 15 will provide you with guidance and wisdom from this realm. You can purchase the audio recording from my website: TheScientificMystic.com
The shifts are here. The transformation we have been waiting for, wondering about, anticipating with both excitement and maybe some fear, is here! I have heard from several sources now that proclaim the big shifts predicted by the Mayan calendar are happening. Rosemary’s mystic message and her channeled message from The Divine Feminine this past Wednesday evening both speak to this Era of Change we have entered.
Do you feel it? Are you reacting to this sense of change we are experiencing? It may be a good time to take some proactive steps toward living more consciously! Here’s an example of what I am doing:
I have had a number of signs show up in my life that suggest that I need to rise before dawn and greet the Sun every morning. As a kid helping my Dad on the farm I was usually up before the Sun. But I am not a morning person. When I have a choice I prefer to sleep in! One of my most esteemed teachers, Martín Prechtel, strongly suggested we make a practice of greeting the Sun each morning. When I was attending Bolad’s Kitchen I was faithful to his suggestion, but my commitment to this important practice was easily released when away from Northern New Mexico. More recently I read a novel about the Cherokee and the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee greeted “Mother Sun” every morning.
I have begun this practice again. For the past several days I have risen before the Sun to great Him/Her. And this has been wonderful. It not only feels right, but I sense a deepening shift in me that is more than enough reward for (what use to be) my reluctance to rise early!
This may seem a small thing to do. But it is a shift I am making consciously. And it is a response to a call to make this shift. As Rosemary writes:
Conscious Living means being aware of your Self, your Purpose and taking charge of the changes you make in your life. Awareness is key to moving consciously through any change, small or gigantic. Observing yourself in the midst of a sea of change can be a way to weather the change while feeling peace inside.
Are you responding to the shifts? Have you sensed any energy changes and made adjustments? Rosemary goes on to say:
It is not just you as an individual going through changes that is the energy of this experience of the 21stCentury. We are all, whether conscious or not, experiencing the great shift that is the transformation of Planet Earth. Nothing is staying the same. Hold onto your hat!
These are exciting times. Some people may go into fear around the signs of change; they may become uncomfortable during the transition as we move through the changes into the transformation. But we have help to support us through these times.
The message from The Divine Feminine from October 15 gave us much to think about and offered incredible support. They said fear is a signal to us that we are transforming. In those moments we are called to bring in more light. Move into the light. We are the light! This is just one more sign to me to rise before dawn to greet Father/Mother Sun. Rosemary concludes her message:
The entire Planet Earth is transitioning now into the New Earth. Each human being is evolving into the New Human. You can resist or transform.
And:
This transition is glorious. Each of us is emerging as a beautiful butterfly. Celebrate!
Adjust to the shifts; and be glad!
PS: The Divine Feminine offered incredible guidance for our evolution and support for our change, transformation and transition! On October 15 they offered amazing help as we begin to become aware of our Cosmic Bodies and expand into our Cosmic Auras!

It is time for transformation! Not only is that what Friday’s article was about, but it is also what is called for with October 23’s Solar Eclipse.
On Thursday, October 23 at 5:56 pm Eastern Daylight Time, the Moon and the Sun will be at the same degree of Scorpio and the shadow of the Moon will partially block the Sun from view. The eclipse should be visible in the US and, in Baltimore, Maryland the maximum eclipse occurs at 6:15 pm. REMEMBER: do not look directly at the Sun, even during an eclipse!
There is a lot of technical information available about the eclipse and about how to safely view it. Astrologically, this eclipse is all about transformation. And it occurs at the same degree as the eclipse on October 23, 1995. Where were you then? What was going on in your life?
You are being invited to release what is no longer serving the evolving you. Be conscious of this as you go through your week. And things should ease up after Mercury goes direct (The dreaded retrograde is over!) on Saturday, October 25.
We also enjoy a celestial show of meteors from Orion, peaking on October 22. What a fun week in the skies! Look at Orion in the early morning hours of the 22nd and see if you can see some of these ‘shooting stars.’ The Orionids, as they are called, are actually produced by Halley’s Comet – they are not ‘stars’.
In the spirit of transformation, Richard and I are offering a workshop in Maryland to help you find balance in an unbalanced world. The Alchemical Inner Marriage Workshop is offered on Saturday, October 25 in Severna Park, Maryland. We’d love to have you join us as we share an experiential journey to connect you with your Inner Masculine and Inner Feminine and to balance these two energies so that you can have balance and peace in your life. We’re very excited about sharing the day with you (we even provide lunch!) so please check out the details here: Alchemical Inner Marriage
Our short presentation on this subject recently at ACT, A Community of Transformation, was very well-received and people are eager to delve more deeply into learning tools for being peace in the world. The Early Bird investment is available through today, October 20.
If you haven’t been joining us for The Oracle Speaks events, where I channel messages from The Divine Feminine, you are really missing some fascinating teachings and guidance for these days of transformation. I am doing these events once a month (one time during each Sun sign) and attendees are experiencing shifts just by participating/listening. Check out ‘Oracle’ at the website to see the upcoming dates: ORACLE Remember that you can join us via computer or telephone if you can’t be here in person. And those who register receive the recording and can send in questions even if they can’t participate in person.
SAVE THE DATE: The next Possibilities Playshop is December 13! Come play with us and create your own Playbook for the coming Moon Cycles. Fun!
Embrace shift this week!

My email inbox is full of invitations to ‘change,’ ‘transform,’ ‘uplevel,’ etc. I’ll bet yours is, too. Are you ready to change?
The only constant in life IS change, but sometimes we slide into change or it is thrust upon us by circumstances outside of us. Has this been happening to you?
Conscious Living means being aware of your Self, your Purpose and taking charge of the changes you make in your life. Awareness is key to moving consciously through any change, small or gigantic. Observing yourself in the midst of a sea of change can be a way to weather the change while feeling peace inside.
It is not just you as an individual going through changes that is the energy of this experience of the 21st Century. We are all, whether conscious or not, experiencing the great shift that is the transformation of Planet Earth. Nothing is staying the same. Hold onto your hat!
At the time of these great shifts we have an opportunity to allow the change to be transformative. We can move ourselves, our understanding, our spiritual selves into a higher level of functioning on the Planet. We are really RESPONSIBLE to the Planet and her inhabitants to experience this kind of transformation.
When circumstances invite you to change, do you make a graceful transition to the next level? Or do you resist, fighting the change until it becomes inevitable and then you just give up? How well do you accept change?
Sometimes it is easy to change when we are the instigators of the change and we see the destination toward which we are moving. We can be positively elegant when we change in this manner.
At other times, we fight, we resist, we try to ignore, we might even try to go backward as we argue against a change. Energetically, these tactics make that which we are resisting more powerful over us. The transition to the new level becomes difficult, tedious, sometimes even painful.
As the Borg say (for all you Trekkies out there), ‘Resistance is futile.’
When we are in the transition stage of change in our lives, we can experience the most energy of the transformation that is taking place. Think of yourself as a caterpillar shifting into the butterfly. It might be a process that is frightening, uncomfortable, even unwanted. But what a beautiful result there is after the transformation!
The entire Planet Earth is transitioning now into the New Earth. Each human being is evolving into the New Human. You can resist or transform.
This evolutionary process requires a lot of changes in our daily lives. We are being called to become more conscious of who we are, our authentic selves. We are being invited into the transformative process to partner with others who are willing to move forward into the state of being a New Human.
Life can become simpler for us if we shift out of old ways of being, of operating in the world. Relationships become more intimate when we drop the pretense, the masks we used to wear. We create conscious businesses. We make conscious choices. We listen with our hearts. We collaborate and support.
This transition is glorious. Each of us is emerging as a beautiful butterfly. Celebrate!
Mystic Messages 
Choose to Celebrate! – Richard’s Commentary
October 29, 2014 — RichardThe press does a great job of getting us into fear. This word is the center-point of Rosemary’s post. It seems, especially since 9/11, that there has been a deliberate campaign to keep us fearful. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will, but think about it; watch the news (FOX or MSNBC) and listen for the undercurrent, the focus of the articles, the energy of the reporters or anchors. What is your sense?
Now, I don’t even want to go into the motivations for this, if there even are any. Sensation sells. And if the commercials on news channels are any indication then the news is all about selling. And maybe it’s that simple.
The key point here is we have choices. We can choose to listen and believe everything we hear on the news. If we do there is good reason for fear! Ebola is big in the news with a handful of people here in the US who have come down with the virus and one unfortunate death. But it is well controlled, contained and the chances of an epidemic here are next to none. So why all the frenzy and controversy? It sells; it keeps us tuned in. We have a choice – to tune out!
I am not suggesting a total “news fast” here, although there are many, including some of my esteemed teachers, who recommend avoiding the news, all media for that matter! I do limit the amount of news programming I watch and I watch with a very critical eye and ear, looking at the underlying story, motivation, nuance. And most importantly I choose how to react.
That said, if you ask Rosemary she would say I often over-react at the nonsense that is being spouted and reported as news. Maybe that’s my choice!
Here’s the key to Rosemary’s Exploration:
There are a lot of fear-mongers who would invite you to feel fear. There are a lot of situations in the world that, when focused on, will generate fear. There are, though, a lot MORE situations that invite us to celebrate.
Rosemary goes on to list many, even down to the functions of our bodies, the meals we eat and the air we breathe. Do you celebrate your stomach for taking care of the meal you just ate?
One of the methods I choose while practicing Qigong is the “inner smile” made popular by Mantak Chia. As my practice winds down and I begin the closing breathing and self-massage, I go through my inner organs in my mind’s eye and thank them with a smile! This is my way of celebrating my health, my body and my physical life. Fear, bad news, horror stories of violence and greed will not give me ulcers. I smile to my stomach and offer my thanks and praise for the awesome work it does!
And if that sounds too weird to you, then choose other ways to celebrate. Maybe it’s your safety record as a good driver. Maybe it’s a fabulous accomplishment by you or a family member. Look for the good news from the simple, everyday successes to the complexities of technology that allow you to read this half-way around the world, instantly.
As Rosemary concludes:
Celebrate! You are reading this. Fear reminds you that you have forgotten to celebrate what’s good, what’s going well. Choose to focus on celebrating and let the fear take a back seat. There’s always something to celebrate, even if it’s just that next breath that you take!
