9th November – 19th December 2016: Mars in Aquarius: We Are the Battleground! By Sarah Varcas
9th November - 19th December 2016: Mars in Aquarius:
We Are the Battleground! By Sarah Varcas
In an air sign, Mars energises our mind and mental processes which can be useful for some and less so for others, depending on how our mind usually works! If you tend to be full of racing thoughts, living in your head, Mars in Aquarius may enhance this tendency and it will be important to stay as aware as possible of just how much energy you invest in the mental realm. If, however, your mind struggles to keep up on a good day, its arrival in Aquarius may be just the tonic you need! No matter what sort of mind we have, this planetary shift encourages us to more innovative thought and a renewed relationship with our intellect.
Uranus, ruler of Aquarius, is still entwined with Eris in Aries, kicking up a storm. While Mars enters Uranian realms and Uranus travels through Mars-ruled Aries, these two powerhouse planets join forces to wake us up and keep us moving whether we like it or not! Mars in Aquarius demands that we act in the interests of the whole, not the individual self. It requires ice-cold detachment when it comes to matters of personal interest and a willingness to forfeit immediate personal satisfaction for the greater good. When the god of war journeys through the sign of brother and sisterhood, the fight becomes one of integrity. It demands a firm standing in our own truth, a courageous heart not afraid to see through wide-open eyes and attention to the sacred core in all beings, deserving of bold and audacious love.
The Aquarian ideal, of an egalitarian world in which all are treated with the respect life itself deserves, is far from many peoples’ experience. Hatred and vilification based upon gender, race, religion, sexuality, ability and other factors is rife across the globe and despite concerted efforts to address the problem, there are many who strive to perpetuate such inequalities with an unremitting diet of hatred. It is easy to feel overwhelmed in the face of such malevolent intransigence. And yet Mars in Aquarius acts as a way-shower, banging on the door of the Aquarian Age, demanding it be opened forthwith!
What we may not realise is that we are the other side of the door already and can draw back the imposing bolts anytime, throwing it open to let the sunlight in. The new age is born through us, we do not enter it. We must not only be the change we want to see in the world, but also see the change we want to happen. Celebrate every effort made to address inequality, every person who strives to create a more peaceful, accepting and compassionate world. Look with equal attention upon those who act for the good of the whole as we do upon those who attract our attention for less edifying reasons. It’s important to look life in the face and see what’s going on, but it’s equally important to perceive its many faces and acknowledge its paradoxically intricate threads.
Mars in Aquarius, working together with Uranus and Eris, reminds us that the greatest battle is often with the self as much as with any external force. If we find ourselves overwhelmed by the changes life demands they fortify us in the coming weeks, strengthening our resolve and standing alongside us as we break through our own obstacles. If we have trouble speaking our truth and standing up for what we know to be right, they remind us that the life of a spiritual rebel is a tough one with many challenges along the way. The rewards, however, are beyond compare when we can stand in our own truth and speak it no matter what others may say. For many this is an impossibility in a world where the consequences of authenticity are akin to death. But if that’s not us, we carry a responsibility to speak out for those who cannot. To contribute the energy of honest expression to the melting-pot of the collective soup from which we all feed.
As Mars shifts now it reminds us that knowing how our mind works, taking charge of ourselves and acting upon razor-sharp integrity is fundamental to progressing from here. Without it we simply do the same thing over and over, getting the same old results and wondering why nothing ever changes. Mars in Aquarius tells us everything changes if we let it and it’s time for us to do the same.

Incoming Message…Ground Crew Take Heed! by Alexandra Meadors | GALACTIC CONNECTION
Incoming Message…Ground Crew Take Heed!
by Alexandra Meadors | GALACTIC CONNECTION
February 2, 2015
I have just received “word” that I am to alert The Ground Crew with the following notice immediately.
“Please inform The Ground Crew that we are in an “all hands on deck” status. Each of you is being called to hold your position and be ready. We are asking each of The Crew Members to remain calm and balanced, be consistent in this composure, and be vigilant of any triggers that attempt to derail you. You are being called to hold the space of Truth and Light, as these are YOUR encodements, and your time is NOW to show up with on-going stable resonance. This is one of The most important missions thus far, and because of it, things may not be as they appear. Many who we thought we knew will become exposed for what they truly are. Remember that The Light is gloriously abundant and the Truth Always Prevails.”
OK – so even if you are not consciously aware of your participation in this Ground Crew Operation, you are being requested to REMAIN CALM, STAY BALANCED, AND KNOW THAT THE LIGHT IS PROCEEDING AHEAD. Many times, people have written in thinking that they are failing themselves and humanity because they don’t know their own mission or purpose, but the fact of the matter is most do not know all the details due to the technologies such as mind swiping, remote viewing, and deadly vibratory rays that are consistently used by The Dark to extract crucial information. Most will not be given too many details to keep themselves safe and the mission protected. Please know this.
ALL OF US must band together at this time. There is no more time for dissension, accusations, and maligning because those that are not who they present themselves to be, will soon be decloaked and exposed.
I was shocked that this message came in with such urgency. Something is truly in progress and it feels major….all psychics and intuitives are welcome to add your messages to this. I will share them with the world…
Honored to serve you all – and love you,
Alexandra

Connection Is Key ~ a message from The Council of Light channeled by Rebecca Couch
Connection Is Key ~ a message from The Council of Light
channeled by Rebecca Couch
Saturday, 11 October, 2014 (posted 15 October, 2014)
Life is good, and you must remember this for it to be so! It is all about attitude of gratitude and perspective - but of course you know this, you just sometimes forget. You know the basic attributes of manifestation now, it is time to bring them all together in harmony. Like the symphony, each instrument is magnificent in itself, but when they unify, it is extraordinary, multidimensional sound that permeates and transforms. It is time to strike up the band! And of course, you know this means to begin within, thereby inspiring others to do the same.
So remember the basics, apply the theory, stay connected to the Divine and let it rip! (Well, maybe surrender is a better description.) You know how to play and have been practising for many years. Stay grounded and centered within yourself, stay humble and connected, focus on your heart to co-create, trust it will happen, envision the optimal, expect miracles, unification is magic, love is the key, go for the gusto and always give it your best. Having arrived at this skill has been quite a journey with what seems like millennia of preparation and discipline to practice, practice, practice. But your ability is honed now, and it is time to fully show up and make it happen. Now that you have done all of the work, it seems easy and natural, like it is so much a part of you that you can’t imagine that you had to work for it. Actually, it was yours all along, you just forgot. But now you remember and now you are aware and now you know that it is time to apply your gifts…bringing them all together to create. And it is important to take stock of all of your gifts, all that you have come to be, for they all play a part in your contribution. Leadership requires a multitude of gifts, all unified by a silent humble authentic power for the purposes of good. You are all this and even more!
Each day is precious and your job is to fully show up in it. Be vigilant in occupying your state of being in grace and project it – be it – with all you’ve got. Show up. Leave the rest to Spirit, for the “what” is your job, the “how” is up to Divine Grace. There is no greater expression than for you to remind yourself of your magnificence at all times, knowing who you are and that you matter in the big complex whole and that each touch point is a drop essential to the whole of the ocean. You are the Divine expressing Itself for the purposes of greater experience that remembers to express Itself for the purposes of the whole. The symphony. You are that, you are!
Most of all, you know that connection is key. You cannot be separated from that which you are, but because you have free will, and eons of experience of the illusion of separation, you can choose to play solo just yearning to be part of the great symphony, or you can remember you are an essential part of the whole. Then everyone can read from the same music sheets. The time has come…no more playing alone in your room anymore…the stage is set and the lights are on…it is time to take your rightful place on the great stage. Just expect to be part of it, and it will be so.
With deep respect for all that you have become, we are,
The Council of Light Within

The No. 1 Myth About Yoga (And How Learning The Truth Can Change Your Life) By Taylor Wells
The No. 1 Myth About Yoga (And How
Learning The Truth Can Change Your Life)
By Taylor Wells, the founder and owner of Prana Power Yoga™
(with five studios in Massachusetts and New York),
author of Create the Best Life Ever and a United Nations Yoga Peace Ambassador.

"Are you flexible? I don't mean, “Can you touch your toes?” Because honestly that's not important to me. When it comes to yoga, it doesn't matter if you're “flexible.” That's a myth. What matters is that you show up. And breathe. And do your best with breath. With a clear intention.
Allow me to explain. I believe that emotional, mental, and spiritual flexibility are virtuous and life-enhancing, and when it comes to yoga practice, paramount. My metaphor of choice: Compared to reeds in the field, trees look strong. But when the storms come, the trees can be uprooted, while the reeds move back and forth with the wind (read: change) and remain grounded. They're still standing when the storm (read: drama) passes.
When you cling to anything -- your thoughts, beliefs, positions, possessions -- and aren't willing to let your heart and mind bend back and forth a bit with the ideas and actions of others, you can easily be uprooted and slammed. One email can throw you off; gossip can flatten you.
Being like a reed doesn't mean being wishy-washy. It means moving a little with the winds of the time and change while remaining solidly anchored in the earth. In other words, flexible while deeply rooted.
So just how flexible are you? Would you identify yourself as intense or as someone who has a hard time laughing or enjoying things that challenge your opinions or routine? Might the people in your life describe you as rigid? Or are you open-minded and flexible, with an ability to be light and appreciate silliness?
When it comes to your own flexibility, what are you teaching your children, family, colleagues and friends -- or lack thereof?
Another way to assess your openness and/or emotional flexibility (besides asking and being honest with yourself) is to notice how you respond when someone brings up something new -- a different plan than you expected, an idea or a concept. Are you reactive or open? Do you cling to the "original plan" or are you open to another suggestion? Do you agree with what is proposed from a place of people-pleasing but feel emotionally resentful or angry? Does your body tense up, or do you feel stress and aggravation?
The next time something new is proposed, become curious, notice what goes down. Think of it as a journey, not a judgment of yourself. If what you notice on that journey is that you aren't as open and emotionally flexible as you thought or had hoped, that's great too, because now you have awareness and can take simple steps toward change. Because an open, loving heart and mind will translate into more joy in your life.
There are so many things you can do to cultivate openness and emotional flexibility. As the founder of Prana Power Yoga™, it's not surprising that I'd suggest getting on your mat. But you don't need to do it every morning at 4 a.m. for 90 minutes with incense burning. It can literally be two minutes on your mat (which you can place strategically next to your bed before you fall asleep at night) in rag doll (standing forward bend) while slowly breathing in and out and setting your intention for the day.
Here are some simple steps you can take toward cultivating openness and emotional flexibility:
1. Slow down. Breathe. Make eye contact with the person with whom you are speaking. This will allow you to be fully present, which is a precursor to being open.
2. Listen. Very few people actually listen. It's astonishing to me. If you are a good listener you will just naturally be more open and emotionally available. And you will have many friends!
3. Count to 10 in your head before responding. Maybe you don't need a full 10 seconds, but the point is to pause and take in what the person is telling you before reacting or thinking about your response.
4. Wake up 15 minutes earlier and sit quietly with your eyes closed. Set an intention for your day and visualize how you would like it to go. See yourself smiling and open. See others smiling back at you and interacting with you in a positive way.
5. Try something new every day, even if it's just eating something different for breakfast. Build a new pathway. Openness and emotional flexibility are muscles like anything else. So all it takes is practice, practice, practice.
6. Get on your yoga mat as often as possible. (It's worth repeating because it works.)
People often ask me, “Does a regular yoga practice lead to more spiritual and emotional flexibility or is spiritual flexibility required to start a yoga practice?"
All that is needed to start a yoga practice is showing up to your mat. That's it! The rest will take care of itself. Yoga will meet you where you are. Always.
Yoga doesn't require physical flexibility (the No. 1 myth about yoga and the reason more people don't show up to practice), but it will naturally come about over time. And even more fun and amazing, once you cultivate a consistent yoga practice, emotional and spiritual flexibility will also come easier. It won't require thought or planning or angst. You'll just start to notice -- and so will others! -- that you're becoming more flexible in these areas. And just like the reed, the "storms" will be much easier to navigate."
