My “Two-Minute” Video for this Week: Looking for Solutions?

Happy New Moon last Friday! Did you feel that old Moon energy leading up to the New Moon? I did, but I had a great Zero Balancing Session that got me through the old energy and the New Moon was exact at 4:10 am Eastern Daylight Time today, Friday, June 27.
How do you celebrate the New Moons? At last weekend’s Possibilities Playshop, we talked about different ways to do a ritual to invite something new into our lives at the time of the New Moon. It could be as simple as having a candle for the New Moon and a different one for the Full Moon each ‘moonth.’ When you have created your Playbook, you’ll have lots of info ready for each part of the Moon’s cycle. We had a great deal of fun at the Playshop. Hope you can join us for one in the future!
Remember that Mercury is retrograde, which means communications can get fouled up and everybody can be distracted and unfocused, until tomorrow, Tuesday, July 1 at 8:50 am Eastern Time. I have heard a lot of people referencing this this time. Is it affecting you? Hang in there for another day! And drive defensively!
Summer is officially here in Maryland and I am enjoying getting vitamin D as often as I can – naturally, from the Sun. I feel so energized after a few minutes in the Sun, and I know my mood is lifted by sunshine. I also believe that Summer is a great time for self-care. The Sun has entered the sign of Cancer (that happened at the Summer Solstice on June 21) and Cancer’s key words are, ‘I FEEL.’ Pay attention to yourself and your feelings this Summer. What personal growth work do you need to do? What healing work? How can you best take care of YOURSELF this Summer?
My guides are telling me that I need to continue to offer the Deep Healing Sessions over the Summer.These are 60-90 minute sessions where I do an energy healing for you and combine that with some guidance for you from my guides and yours. These can be done in person in Severna Park, Maryland or at a distance. If you are ready to take a quantum leap in your growth, in any area – physical, emotional, block-clearing, relationship, business/career, money, spiritual – then this Session is perfect for you. Send me a personal email so that we can explore if this is the right thing for you today. rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com
Enjoy the Sunshine and the Summer! And to my Australian friends, stay warm! (Welcome to the US to the friends who are making the move to enjoy 2 Summers this year!)

So how is this Mercury Retrograde going for you? It’s a big one! When Mercury appears to go backward in the sky (approximately 3 times a year for about 3 weeks each time) things seem to go backward on Earth, too! Printer problems, technology upsets, forgetfulness (oh, yes!) and communications foul-ups. Please be careful! Others who don’t know about these periods can be distracted, especially when driving, so drive defensively, and re-read everything before you send it.
This IS, though, a great time to retreat and do some inner work. Powerful things can come up for processing – in journaling, meditating, coaching work. This can also be a very creative time, so give yourself the gift of time to be your most creative self.
This Saturday, June 21 at 6:51 am Eastern Daylight Time, was the Summer Solstice, when the Sun entered the sign of Cancer and we in the Northern Hemisphere experience the longest day of the year – woo hoo! We welcome Light into our lives. We are reminded that we ARE the Light in the world and it is our work to shine that Light as brightly as we can.
My Dad used to joke that the pessimist sees this day as ‘the days are getting shorter’ day. I celebrate the maximum amount of daylight for as long as I can!
I also find this a great time to shed light on the darkest corners inside ourselves that we hide out from the rest of the year. Have you ever noticed that somehow it seems better to face your fears and clear your blocks when the days give you more sunlight and warmth? I am finding that the clients who are willing to do the deep work now are getting great clarity and support and they feel energized to go out to be their best self in the world of the Light. The insights that are coming in just one session can be very powerful. That’s why I’m still offering the Spring Special so that you can get that kick-start session to explore a question or an issue and get the guidance you need to bring more Light into your life.
SPECIAL OFFER: Private Session with Rosemary for a reading to help you connect you to some answers and leap forward. I don’t usually offer a session at this low investment but I want to help you clear the blocks that have been holding you back from your Big Dream. For a limited time only, there are some sessions available for just $150! Sign up now to claim your spot!
You’ll be amazed at how much information and guidance can come through in just this one session!
The New Moon is coming on Friday, June 27 so spend some time this week clearing out the old ‘junk’ – from your house, your closets, and the closets of your mind. What did you used to believe that no longer fits who you are today? Identify, clear and choose to believe something new & true! (THIS is why it’s such a good time to do a one-on-one session now!)
Enjoy the beginning of Summer. Get ready to SOAR and make those Big Dreams come true!
Have a Light-Filled week!

What’s Your Umbrella? – Richard’s Commentary
June 18, 2014 — RichardMy “umbrella” has always been work. When I was in the corporate world I worked hard. I traveled a lot. I had responsibilities. I shouldered them well. As I look back on those 40 years I realize that I was often running away from the lessons, the real part of life I needed to learn.
Oh, sure, I needed to earn a living, keep the family secure, move ahead, up the corporate ladder – that’s what we do, right? But at what expense? How many of us escape into our work with these very rational motivations and miss why we are here in the first place, miss our real purpose?
I am retired now, still working hard, enjoying the work a great deal more and, yes, sometimes I still continue to use work as my umbrella. Why? Rosemary hits on one of the reasons:
All you have is NOW. The lessons don’t go away. The Universe wants you to have that success, satisfaction and fulfillment and puts lessons on your path so that you can clear the blocks and achieve your dreams. Why delay that?
It’s usually fear. But the rewards of doing the work, of learning the lessons, are so much greater than the pain of getting there that it’s worth it to start now.
Yes, it’s usually fear. I wrote about this in a post just last Friday, the 13th when I commented on the blocks we face:
I think the main one is fear – fear of letting go completely and relaxing into full awareness.
I believe my main purpose in this life is to become fully aware, to become enlightened. This is not an ego thing; I believe this is the main purpose of every human on the planet. I, at least on some unconscious level, have known this for a long time. And I have escaped from this, from the lessons that would bring me closer to enlightenment, and worked on all the other things humans do: job, family, earning corporate merits, duty, …
But the Universe wants me to have that “success, satisfaction and fulfillment…” The Universe wants us to become enlightened! The lessons are all there, strewn in our path to bring us into the light.
The ego doesn’t get this. The ego would rather escape into work and feed itself with the rewards of a job well done. So the Universe continues to offer the lessons. And I am beginning to listen. Sometimes the lessons are loud; we can only miss them if we continue to distract ourselves with our umbrellas. Sometimes the lessons are whispers. I’m learning to listen more closely.
I’m following the advice I wrote for myself in the June 13 post (link). And I am ready to “happily dance in the rain!”
