How did you like that Lunar Eclipse at the time of last Wednesday’s Full Moon? I hope you were able to view it. Griffith Observatory in California broadcast a live view through their telescope so I saw great pictures online.
Eclipses and Full Moons are significant celestial events. Notice where 15 degrees in Aries falls in your natal horoscope astrological chart to see what area of your life might be affected. (You can find free astrology charts generated for you online if you don’t already have one.) We are still being affected by the energy of this big event!
You are being invited to ask for guidance and support from other realms. Do you ask your angels for help? Have you contacted your spirit guides?
Join us on Wednesday, October 15 at 7:00 pm Eastern Time for The Oracle Speaks when I will be channeling guidance from The Divine Feminine to help you make the rest of 2014 align with your dreams and desires. These events always bring in much needed wisdom and information that is very practical and helpful.
You can join us in person in Severna Park, Maryland or online or by the phone from wherever you are. Here are the details: The Oracle Speaks Hope to ‘see’ you on the 15th so that you can learn what you need to know to make the most of this time!
Richard and I are planning several different offerings in the coming months and we’re curious about what you might be looking for these days. Do you like one-, two-, or three-day events? Do you prefer to get information in several classes over a couple of weeks? Are you a fan of videoconference or phone or in person events?
Please send us some feedback by direct email (rosemary@thescientificmystic.com) so we can learn how you would like to have some information delivered. We’re hoping that those of you who read this can help us to shape a more detailed survey that we will be sending out later. I appreciate your help with this project!
Enjoy the Autumn colors wherever you are! I love the crispness of the air on Autumn mornings. Beautiful!
ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Are You the Director or the Actor in the Play that is Your Life?
October 10, 2014 — RosemaryIt is really easy to convince ourselves that we are always directing the activities in our lives. We think that we are in charge. And, yet, we often find ourselves acting against our plans, our choices, our mental outlines for our lives.
Have you ever planned to diet/exercise/be more productive/call a friend, etc., and then found that you didn’t follow through? Was it because you didn’t want to do what you thought or was it because something ‘came up’ and you didn’t get to it?
What do you believe about what ‘comes up’ in your life?
The Director of a stage play is the one who determines how a scene will look, who will stand where when, when and where entrances and exits will occur. The Actors look the way the Director wants them to look, stands where they are told to stand, moves where and when they are told to move.
When you look at your own life, how many times have you intended to go in one direction and something happens to shift that plan?
Of course, many times unforeseen situations arise and we must be in flow, be adaptable. And your unconscious mind can bring those so-called ‘unforeseen situations’ into the scenario for an unconscious reason because your conscious plan conflicts with a belief held at the unconscious level.
I see this in clients all the time. The intention is there. Everything seems to be lined up. And then something happens.
I’ve seen it in my own life. It’s called ‘self-sabotage’ and it doesn’t go away because the conscious mind makes a decision to change things.
On January 1 every year millions of people make New Year’s resolutions and, by February 1, most of those resolutions have been broken. I stopped that dance a long time ago!
It is in your unconscious mind that the programs and habits of a lifetime reside. If you were told as a child that you ‘don’t deserve X, Y or Z’ then your unconscious mind continues to believe that event if you are decades beyond hearing that phrase. If you told yourself when you were a teenager going through puberty and wishing for a date that you were too ugly to be asked out/to ask out that girl you liked, then that inner teenager might still believe that about you even if the mirror in today’s reality doesn’t confirm that truth.
What did you used to believe about yourself, life, the world around you that might be holding you back today? Is it your unconscious mind that is the Director while you and your conscious mind are merely the Actors on the stage?
You can’t just decide to do things differently and have your unconscious mind let go of those old beliefs. They are programs that are running all the time. They are beliefs that trump conscious decisions many times.
The work is to go inside and uncover the programs and reprogram your mind.
Ask yourself if you are really the Director or if there is something unconscious at work today that you would like to reprogram. Then do the work and get the appropriate help to do that reprogramming.
Decide to be the Director AND the Actor in the play of your life!
ROSEMARY’S THROWBACK THURSDAY VIDEO: It’s Time to Release the Blocks
October 9, 2014 — RosemaryThis 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:
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:
- I am in charge and I know what I am doing; I’m the adult, after all!
- We have done things like this before and it always comes out well!
- Look to the end result, the success. Doesn’t that make you happy?
- Let’s just move forward and see what happens; you’ll be OK.
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!”

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!

Are You the Director or the Actor in the Play that is Your Life? – Richard’s Commentary
October 15, 2014 — RichardThis is such a wonderful question Rosemary asks. It’s one of those questions that makes you go “hmmm”! It stops me and makes me think. And, it’s another one of those questions that take me inside, to examine, to evaluate, and maybe, just maybe to shift!
Here’s the key to Rosemary’s Exploration:
What did you used to believe about yourself, life, the world around you that might be holding you back today? Is it your unconscious mind that is the Director while you and your conscious mind are merely the Actors on the stage?
It’s those old beliefs, those old programs that run on automatic when our attention strays, when “unforeseen situations arise,” or when we simply get caught off guard in a moment of weakness.
Here’s a simple example that is trite but true, a cliché of our times: driving in traffic I still find myself getting upset by unconscious drivers who are in some way impeding my progress! Then I realize I am being unconscious myself in my angry reactions. I take a breath, go briefly inside to remember my impatience is getting in my own way, release frustration and then move along more smoothly – until the next inattentive driver annoys me!
This is a life-long habit. I probably learned it from my father, even though in rural Wisconsin he did not face the driving difficulties we have here in the East! I know I am being the Actor in my little stage play about driving in traffic and my unconscious mind is the Director in this play. It is a hard habit to break and I get plenty of opportunities to practice!
I find my breath work, as part of my Qigong and Yoga practices help me overcome, or at least recover from habits of a lifetime. As long as I remember to breathe intentionally I can short-circuit the old programming and my conscious mind can recover control and direct my life.
Here’s how that works: one of my practices is to employ the Hamsa mantra as taught by Swami Muktananda (ref: I Am That The Science of HAMSA from the Vignana Bhairava). This is probably the simplest yet most profound mantra in the Yogic tradition. “Ham” means “I am” and Sa means “that.” It may also be seen and pronounced or read as So’ham “that I am” depending on personal preference and breath flow.
Ham is the sound of the breath as you inhale. Sa or So is the sound of the breath as you exhale. My natural breath includes a more lengthy pause after exhaling so I use Hamsa as my breath mantra; in other words it seems more natural for me to inhale before I exhale. Practice both ways; if it seems more natural for you to exhale first then So’ham may be the better way for you to use this key mantra.
For that matter you can even use English here inhaling on the “I Am” and exhaling on the “That.” The real key is to become aware of the breath and then become intentional about breathing through the recovery from habitual action and reaction you are working to reprogram. As Rosemary writes:
You can’t just decide to do things differently and have your unconscious mind let go of those old beliefs. They are programs that are running all the time. They are beliefs that trump conscious decisions many times.
The work is to go inside and uncover the programs and reprogram your mind.
Breath work is an excellent tool to aid you in the reprogramming effort.
