Happy Solstice!

Hello to you all and best wishes for the halfway point of the year!
Half way already! Yes. June 21 – 22 is a turning point for the planet and it is also an energetic marker for us. This year the New Moon is on June 22nd, which indicates a great opportunity to de-clutter, de-grease and de-mystify ourselves and our surroundings for the next week leading up to the Solstice.

Energetically the next 5 days represent a natural ‘outflowing’ of energy, and we can utilise this to remove any stagnating, unwanted, and unused ‘things’ in our Life. Maybe its just going to be ‘that’ kitchen drawer (you know which one I mean…) that gets sorted, or it could be the ‘junk room’ that gets the heave-ho treatment,…but whatever gets done is going to remove some ‘glug’ energy and leave a sparkling new space to invite some sparkling new energy to enter your Life. Gotta be good. For guidelines on de-cluttering and Space Clearing click here. For info on Bach Flower Essences to Support Space Clearing click here. Crab Apple and Honeysuckle are in this remedy blend and generally assist with Cleansing and coping with releasing the Past. Other essences contained in this blend assist with energetically restoring and protecting your personal aura.

Detoxify your personal hygiene, make up and skin care products by choosing certified organic products! I have recently completed my change over of all make up and skin care I use to certified organics, and the feeling is simply BLISSFUL (it didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen!)

Having some issues creeping into the South area of Reputation (Perceptions of Self) this month? Star 5 can bring misfortunes or problems to this sector of your building and property this month, so if you are experiencing things like troublesome neighbours, injuries, breakages etc in this area, put up a metal windchime outside the building to distract the Star 5 Earth influence. You may also use bells on doorknobs, or a string of bells that catch the wind outside. Playing piano music or other ‘metallic’ sounding music in the area will be helpful. Click here to see the range of beautiful metal windchimes from Windsong Chimes, available to order through JTHTC.

Next month, the July influences will be Doubled Up, which means that the Annual Influences and the Monthly Influences are the same for each sector of the Bagua, but also, it is a Full Moon on the 7th of July! This first week of the month is the changeover of Monthly Influences. This means the energy will be very potent indeed, and, a great opportunity to take advantage of the more auspicious influences, like the Wealth Star 8 in the SE (The Wealth and Growth Sector) and the Star 9 in the Centre Palace.

Flying Stars Forecast for June

Looking back over the Annual Influences Guide 2009, I glanced at this month’s short forecast ...
“Balanced combinations lead to balanced energy. Fire and Water meet in the Centre. Argument potential in Creativity sector and serious conflict energy in Relationships. 6,7 represent Metal upon Metal. (swords clashing)
Young and Romantic liaisons are beautiful for the East. Happy Events are in the Growth SE, giving a ripe time to have clients and business contacts over for dinner or lunch. And with the Wealth Star 8 visiting the East Family and Health as well, it may be that wealth opportunities come via one of these two connections. NE sees partnership or competition, its up to you. Dominating female energy in the NW means that your alpha female will be on a mission. There is a fair bit of argumentative energy via the SW, West, NW, North and NE, so if your offices are here you will have a month where your patience and diplomacy will be tested.”
The A I G is now half price seeing as we are nearing the halfway point of the year, so grab a bargain and find out a little more about the energy layers around you :)

So how has 2009 been treating you so far? Have you been experiencing the effects of that Star 5 in the Career and Life Purpose sector? Urging new possibilities, pushing for change, bringing up issues to take you out of your comfort zone perhaps? I know I have! And then there has been the passionate Star 4 driving my romantic and academic perceptions, as it has been firmly placed in the Reputation South sector for this year. Reputation and Fame sector is all about our perceptions...how we perceive ourselves, our ‘self significance’ and how we think others view this aspect of us too. From the start, I knew this year was going to take a fair bit of diplomacy and would lead to some kind of maturing for me because that Star 7 was in the Family and Health East sector. I interpreted this as meaning that the shallow level of my interactions with my ‘family’ (or those in my immediate social circle) would all have ‘hidden depths’. This is the ‘calling card’ of Star 7 energy. A Gossip Tree always has long roots. Star 7’s landscape association is ’marshland’, which is shallow water on deep mud. We don’t talk for the sake of flapping our lips, there is always a deeper reason for discussing anything or anyone, and I knew this year was going to bring insights into my own ways of communication to and about the people around me. But now, on to the monthly forecast!

The Centre sees a balanced Fire and Water combination. It is an excellent energy pairing to help us out of any perceived depression, as Star 1 helps us express ourselves, and Star 9 brings Beauty and Clarity to this. Use photographs and quotes, clippings and dreamboards to bring out this vibe in your Life this June :)

Great pairings in the East and SE with the Star 8 energy pervading its Happiness and quiet solidity into these areas. Use gorgeous gemstones in colours of plums, wines, grapes, and deepest, darkest berry. Garnet, Ruby, Amethyst etc. Pop them into some kind of sparkly dish and run your fingers through them often! Great way of attracting ‘wealth energy’ to yourself.
The same cannot be said for the South with the Star 5 pushing into the Reputation sector, fuzzing up all our perceptions. A great month to hold off on launching ‘the new you’. Keep on working, planning, sorting and learning.

Possibilities of real arguments and even violence in the SW and W. This can see contention in Relationships, so tread gently on ‘those issues’ that lead to tension, or avoid them altogether. Representations of Love, Peace and Compassion should be placed in the SW, as well as using heaps of Dark Blue and Black, and Wavy Shapes to distract this overt Metal energy of the Stars 6 & 7. In the West, the 2,3 can be alleviated by using Metal energy. Gold, Silver, White and round or globular shapes will help to subdue the ‘fighting bull Sha’ combination.

The NW has a 2,1 combination which can see women in positions of power sent into overdrive workwise. Keep an eye on your energy levels if this is you. Listen to that friend who offers to help you put the brake on, and take time out for yourself, and likewise, be a good friend when you see your alpha female buddy/boss unable stop from working herself ragged. That this is in the Travel and Helpful People sector indicates that it could be YOUR time to discover ‘delegation’. Use Metal to improve the energy of the Star 1 and subdue the Star 2.

Authority 6 visits Career, but not a good move to get to forthright about anything this year with that Star 5 in residence. Keep that Wealth Bringer Bowl outside and that metal wind chime UP.
Authority issues may also creep up on those with offices/front doors etc in the NE this month with the 4,3 combination. This CAN indicate great partnership energy if the ego’s can be nice and play with each other happily. If not, it can manifest petty behaviour the like of which you’ve not seen since playgroup… Use pale Fire colours and shapes to subdue. Yep, the cherry blossoms can definitely come out for this one.

The Dangers of Accumulated Consumption

Each day we use a various number of products on ourselves (our children and pets too), on our house and on our clothes, that we buy because we think they will make us smell nicer, be cleaner or look better. What is in those mainstream products though? Is it really safe if it is allowed for sale? Shockingly the majority answer is a resounding “NO”. For a long time I’ve been suspicious of ‘off the shelf’ products, pharmaceuticals, and other everyday chemicals. For a long time I’ve dealt with ill-health, problematic skin and chronic conditions that I felt alleviated with the cessation of using one kind of chemical/product or another.

Recently I was fortunate enough to receive a copy of ‘Chemical Free Kids’ by Dr Sarah Lantz, and have been reading through it, ‘consuming’ the information and finding immense validation for all the suspicions, study, investigation and cautions I have exhibited over the last decade or so of my own life. It’s an amazing read and a book I thoroughly recommend as a reference book for every home. What started this kind of investigation? What caused my step forward? Not surprisingly, it started with my first pregnancy.

When I had my first baby I used mainstream products on her, used disposable nappies, gave her formula milk as a ‘complimentary’ feed, as I had been directed to do by my peers and advisors. Within a few months my bubby had what was being described as colic, she developed severe skin rashes on her bottom and was generally unhappy, and of course so was I. An unhappy baby equals a case of VTM (Very Tired Mother). I started to look at what I was using on her, started to investigate the ingredients of these products and also started to investigate natural alternatives. My own issues with a skin irritation and other health problems prompted me to look into the kinds of products I was using daily as well. I had always been ‘interested in’ natural alternatives, but had not investigated why this interested me so much. With my own reactions to certain foods and products heightening, I chose to do something pro-active about de-toxifying my LIFE!

As I began my ‘step forward’, I got so desperate about undecipherable labels that I developed a ‘criteria’ for choosing any product for me or my baby. My criteria for picking a product was that it should have no more than 5 ingredients, and that I should be able to tell exactly what they were by reading the label. If I couldn’t then I wouldn’t buy it. Out went anything with the SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulphate) or anything similar, out went anything petroleum based, out went a lot of the additives and preservatives identified only with a number...this was my starting point. My very first step. Yep, a lot of the time I found that I couldn’t keep to my criteria with everything. As you can imagine, this became quite a chore, but I was not put off.(...I’d gone through the same thing years earlier when my husband had developed a cholesterol problem and we had to check all the labels on food for saturated fat content and cholesterol etc) In fact, the more I researched the more empowered I felt about my own health and my own ability to find what I needed. (and that was usually in my pantry, my fridge, or my garden)

As with most health issues relating to product usage, it is usually not just one product on its own that is ‘the problem’, but rather a combination, or a team of products forming a catalytic reaction,... and we’re the petrii dish! A childhood of antibiotic and analgesic treatment for minor ailments, and then chronic conditions, had left my immune system rocky and in desperate need of real nourishment. Yet, a lot of the energy of my body’s detoxing ability was being directed towards ridding myself of the ‘everyday’ toxins I was slathering onto my skin, or ingesting via food and drinks, not to mention the cleaning toxins on my clothes and in my house.

In the case of my own baby becoming a petrii dish for modern day products, well, I drew a very big black line right there!! During her infancy I went from using all the mainstream products to using alternative products as much as I could find. She got moisturised with a bit of apricot kernel oil after bath-time, and her bath became warm water with a few drops of Chamomile in Jojoba essential oil. We boosted her immune system via her food intake with garlic and fresh herbs grown in my garden from a very early age. Strangely though, it took more than a few years for me to realise that I needed to change a lot of my products too! I seemed to be in a dreamworld where my biology was somehow different to hers, and thinking that my body would be able to ‘stand’ the toxic intake. I was wrong of course. We all have our own ‘threshold’ for toxins, and I had been ignoring my body’s pleas for help for a long, long time.

I know that the changes I made since her birth, via the products I choose to use in the house, in our diets and in our healthcare, have all had the conglomerate effect of increasing our well-being, and providing my house with good quality Chi Flow in many aspects. While it wasn’t ‘good’ to go through the problems I have had using chemicals and other toxins, it did make me aware of what I was consuming, how I was dealing with the manifestations of these toxins, and the alternatives that are there to find. This awareness has lead to a healthier lifestyle, healthier product choices and a desire to become more educated about the world I live in.

During all of these ‘trials’ I was keenly aware that the issues manifesting would have some deeper origin, and yes, some deeper meaning. Our bodies are wonderful instruments for warning us to slow down, clean up, clean out or change direction...just that the dials are hard to interpret at times!! But yes, deep down, I know/knew there was something else I had to address, and thankfully, those messages are becoming increasingly clearer as I open up and begin to accept help in many different forms.

Everyone’s journey is unique, but as humans, we all share a common physical process, a common biology, and yes, we adapt to almost anything that comes our way. That is our survival mechanism. Yet how much energy are we wasting by poisoning ourselves each day with hidden toxins? How much better would we survive if we could put that energy into the things we love and love to do?
