The video for today’s post not only has a message for you to consider it also announces that my husband, Richard, and I are taking some time to reflect. We are “taking stock” of many things during Solstice time, as the light here in the Northern Hemisphere dims and we retreat inward. With the Sun the MuseLetter and this blog will dim for a time.
My “Two-Minute” Video for this Week: Take Stock:
Have a wonderful holiday time!
Happy Holidays! And what is your focus for this last month of 2014? Take stock – of your health, your relationships, your work/job/business/career, your family, your living environment. In the midst of the holiday festivities, ask yourself if you are feeling fulfilled by your choices in your life.
That is what Richard and I are doing this December. We are taking stock and you will benefit from this. My focus for 2015 is ‘Relationships’ and I am especially intent on deepening my connection with you, in deep gratitude for your being a part of RosemarySpace.
Thank you for joining with me on this journey. Whether we know each other intimately or you have never met me in person (and it is always fun to meet one of you after you have been reading these letters and posts for awhile!) I appreciate your presence and your energy. You contribute to RosemarySpace. I meditate and bless you. You are part of a community no matter where you live.
And I want to make sure that we serve YOU in 2015. So we are taking a ‘holiday hiatus’ from creating these MuseLetters and Blog Posts while we take stock.
Meanwhile, I will continue to see private clients during December (remember that the special offer for a Reading by Rosemary ends December 31! – reserve your spot with an email: rosemary@TheScientificMytsic.com and the Winter Solstice Possibilities Playshop is on December 13. Join us in Severna Park, Maryland for that FUN event and create your own Playbook for the coming New Moon to Full Moon cycles. Plan to take a break in the holiday activities for yourself on Saturday, December 13, 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Learn more about the Playshop here: Possibilities Playshop
Are you ready for the longest night of the year, Winter Solstice? This signals the retreat cycle of the seasons and I invite you to plan some time to go inside and ‘take stock’ – do the inner work, slow down the to-do’s and focus on some ‘to-be’ time. Just as the seasons invite us to follow Nature in her rhythms, I invite you to follow your own biorhythms and take care of yourself this Winter.
There is a Full Moon on Saturday, December 6 at 7:26 am Eastern Standard Time (EST). The Sun is in Sagittarius and the Moon in the opposite sign of Gemini. All the planets are aligning to help us face our fears, examine our shadow, decide whether to stay the course or change directions. Now is the time to ‘take stock.’
The Winter Solstice occurs on December 21 at 6:03 pm EST followed closely by the New Moon in Capricornat 8:35 pm EST. This is the optimal time to set new intentions. There is a blast of cosmic energy that accelerates our evolution.
It’s time to ‘take stock.’ Go inside. Do the inner work. Retreat. Have a wonderful holiday season! See you next year!
December 5-7 – Practice Building Breakthrough, Los Angeles. In addition to attending the seminar, we’ll get another dose of grandbaby Tristan while we’re there! Woo Hoo! (Plus we see our friend and hairdresser in Santa Monica – a long way to go for a haircut, I know!)
December 11 – The Oracle Speaks to the Community – last one before the start of 2015! Join us for the message where we tune into the energies and guidance for the coming year. Details: The Oracle Speaks
December 12 – I AM: A Celebration of Life with Dale Allen Hoffman and Bob Sima. This is an ACT (A Community of Transformation) event in Annapolis. Please join us! Info at ACTAnnapolis.org
December 13 – Possibilities Playshop – Plan for 2015 and have a lot of fun creating your own Playbook! And if you join us for The Oracle Speaks on December 11, you’ll know from The Divine Feminine the energies you’ll be working with in the coming ‘moonths.’ (We already have some fun people registered so you’ll be in good company!) 10:00 am – 2:00 pm EST. Details: Playshop
Remember, I love and bless you every day!
During this post-Thanksgiving week we have been exploring Thanksgiving and Transformation and how they do truly go hand-in-hand. Today’s video from a little over a year ago speaks to how we are agents of Transformation for other people. Be grateful for the power you have, as alchemists, to transform the lives of so many! And we are grateful for you!
My “Two-Minute” Video for this Week: Start with Gratitude
A little something different for this week. A poem for you!
BUTTERFLY
A butterfly flits back and forth
Then back and forth again
Before my face
And perches gracefully on the grass at my feet.
It says, “I am the symbol of change. Accept me.”
“That’s funny,” I think.
I had just been thinking about what the future would bring.
Another butterfly, smaller than the first,
Flits by my face and settles on the grass at my feet.
“After each change comes the next one,” she says.
“Nothing is static. Nothing stays the same. The only constant is change.”
“OK, I get it,” I think.
A squirrel joins us, posing on the fence post to look at me and says, “Prepare.”
Now I’m wondering if all of Nature is conspiring to get a message to me.
Have I wondered overlong about the future and forgotten to be fully present in this moment now?
Am I somehow blocking the changes to come by not preparing today for whatever tomorrow brings because I refuse to focus on today?
Am I lost in concern for a moment that hasn’t happened yet while missing the gift of the moment at hand?
I start to walk back into the house
And the third butterfly appears, identical in markings to the other two but tinier than they.
She says to me,
“It is not mere change that we represent.
It is TRANSFORMATION.
Right now, right here, IN YOU.
Be blessed and IN-JOY.”
I get the message.

Happy Thanksgiving to our US friends and let’s just call it ‘Gratitude Day’ for all of us.
It is a joy to get together with family or to have a relaxing holiday alone. However you choose to celebrate gratitude let your heart overflow as you focus on the joy in your life. You can also have gratitude for the lessons and the people who bring those lessons to you.
Sometimes it is easy to focus on what is going wrong or what isn’t exactly the way we want it to be, but Thanksgiving is the holiday where we take a moment to be grateful, for everything.
I am grateful for the opportunity to chat with you via email and the internet. Thank you for reading the words that I send. I bless you for being a part of RosemarySpace.
After we have all eaten our fill of turkey and mashed potatoes, watched parades and football, and, I hope, written in our Gratitude Journals, let’s look at how we choose to live our lives for the rest of 2014 to prepare for the coming New Year.
We are still in the energy of a growing Moon, after last Saturday’s New Moon in Sagittarius, so this week is a good week to continue the planning for what we wish to bring into our lives next year. When the Full Moon occurs, on Saturday, December 6 at 7:27 am Eastern Standard Time, it will be time to release the old and prepare for the New Year.
What are you going to let go of at the next Full Moon? Decide now what you want to bring in and what you need to release to make room for the new.
The best way to prepare for the coming New Year is to reach inside and ask your guides for information. There are two events in December to help you do just this.
December 11 – The Oracle Speaks to the Community: The Divine Feminine give us guidance for the coming year. We’ll learn about the energies coming in 2015 and how to work with those energies to live our richest lives. The December message is always a powerful and informative one. I invite you to join us, in person in Maryland or via phone or online. Details are on the website here: The Oracle Speaks (Note: last month’s message blew us all away! Can’t wait to hear this one!)
December 13 – Possibilities Playshop: Come play with us! There are still some slots available for this fun day. You will meet your guide for the coming months, create your personal Playbook, learn about working with the Moon Cycles for Manifestation, and have a lot of fun! Details are on the website here: Possibilities Playshop
REMEMBER: The special half-hour Reading by Rosemary offer ends on December 31. There are still some appointments available. I will no longer be offering these brief sessions for a quick check-in as I am focusing on mentoring folks through transformation in VIP Breakthrough Days or over several private sessions.
If you’ve been thinking that you just have a quick question for your guides, or that you’d like to hear what they want you specifically to know as you plan for the coming year, then schedule your reading soon! Send me an email at rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com to get your appointment on the calendar. This is the best holiday gift you can give yourself! (Or someone else!) Get ready for 2015!
As the year 2014 winds down and we all celebrate the holiday season, let’s look forward to making 2015 the best year yet! Lots of changes coming!
December 5-7 – Practice Building Breakthrough, Los Angeles. In addition to attending the seminar, we’ll get another dose of grandbaby Tristan while we’re there! Woo Hoo! (Plus we see our friend and hairdresser in Santa Monica – a long way to go for a haircut, I know!)

I will be grateful to connect with you soon!
This week the theme has been the “Evolution of Your Light.” Today’s throwback video is from about a year ago, a clip from a channeling event where I speak for The Divine Feminine. They instruct us in the way of “Evolving the Light.”
Happy Thanksgiving!
As I was writing my Morning Pages yesterday it came to me that I want to go deeper with Qigong. Why? I had raked leaves the day before and loaded 15 bags from the front yard – heavy work. As the evening descended my muscles and joints began to remind me that I am older than I think. But I did some breathing and reminded my body that I practice Qigong; all the twisting and pulling motions of raking leaves is not unlike certain Qigong moves I make in practice. In fact I was very mindful of these motions as I raked.
Last year when I raked leaves from that front yard I ended up with stiff muscles in my back for a week afterward. This year I woke up the morning after and felt great. So, I raked more leaves ahead of the East Coast storm we are enjoying today. There is no question in my mind that my body practices are keeping me younger in body than my age in years would indicate.
My plan is to Evolve My Light, or I could say “Evolve My Qi” and take further steps down this path of growth. Why? Here’s how Rosemary answers this question:
Now, at whatever your current age is, those souls are looking to you for your light to shine on the path that you are sharing. How do you shine your light? By living your soul’s purpose, by being the light that you already are.
“Those souls” are everyone in my community. They include you, dear reader. My “soul’s purpose” is to build community. And my approach is to build community around Qigong. Qi is Life Force; it is Light; it is Love. By continuing to go deeper with my Qigong practice I am answering the call that Rosemary reminds us we are here to do.
I am reading some excellent books on Qigong and Taiji. And I am putting the word out I am looking for deeper instruction. At this time I am between classes that I have been teaching because I am feeling this call to go deeper before developing my next series of classes. Naturally I always learn more by teaching as well; a new class will be offered early in the New Year.
What form does your light take? How are you “Evolving Your Light”? This is the most important question you can ask yourself! Why?
YOU are in charge of the development and evolution of your own consciousness. No one around you can do it for you. You were not born to find answers and then stagnate. You are here to learn the next thing, to study, to grow, to evolve.
Never stop. There is no end here, no bottom to the deeper!
I am grateful to Rosemary for this important reminder! Enjoy your “gratitude day” tomorrow as we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US.

THANKSGIVING TRANSFORMATION: Richard’s Commentary
December 3, 2014 — RichardThe title of Rosemary’s post of her poem, Butterfly, holds deep meaning in itself. Thanksgiving and Transformation aren’t words that go easily together, but if we give the pair a bit of thought there is more there.
We are now moving well into the last month of 2014. All the turkey trimmings are gone or put away. Is your sense of “thanksgiving” also put away with the November decorations, thrown out with the bones of the bird? Or do you practice gratitude all year long?
Rosemary’s second butterfly in her poem says: “Nothing is static. Nothing stays the same. The only constant is change.” Can we be grateful for every change? Can we look at every change as part of a greater transformation as explained by the third and smallest butterfly? This is the challenge the poem presents. It is the every day, small changes, moment to moment, that generate the transformations of our lives. And gratitude every day, moment to moment for those small changes leads to “thanksgiving transformation.”
Can you hear the vibration that rings between these two words? There is an echo between them, they are “light shadows” – we are thankful and we transform; we transform and we are thankful – every day and in every way. Thanksgiving Transformation is a state of being – continuous gratitude for the continuous state of change we experience. Thanksgiving Transformation is Life!
There is another pairing of words the squirrel of the poem brings to us: Presence and Preparation. These set up another vibration, the echo between being present in the moment, experiencing it fully, and being prepared for the next moment, that moment of change. It’s almost asking that we exist in two states at once; the dynamic about being prepared for tomorrow’s change while being fully present today is the challenge.
From the smallest change in our body chemistry, moment to tiny moment, to the great transforming changes in our lives, day-to-day, year-to-year, we are blessed. At the microcosmic level every moment is a miracle. And at cosmic scales, the beauty of the remnants of a supernova, as just one example, pictured here, are mind-boggling! I am in constant thanksgiving for all of it and all the blessings. I may not always be prepared for the coming changes, transformations, but I can truly give thanks for them!
Thanksgiving Transformation. You can’t have one without the other!
