Spring Equinox Detoxing

 

The regenerative and rebirthing energy of the spring is supported through the functions of the liver, the main detoxifier of the body.  Cleansing the system and fortifying the liver at the onset of spring improves our health and enhances our potential for success.  The primary organs focused on are the liver and colon.

Spring Equinox 2012

Let it all Go-Prepare for Abundance- Spring2012

excerpt from The Biz Magazine Spring issue

Shape shifting and transition, clearing away old/negative energy patterns, outward expansion; new ideals, reclaiming healthier relationships and pursuing new innovative business endeavors; these are all themes that are likely to be coming up for you during this Spring Equinox. 

 The Spring Equinox is the precise time when there is an equal amount of light and darkness and the scale is tipping towards an increase of light!  This is exciting because it is an opportune time to step into a new awareness, to make room for expansion and redefined potency in your life.  The Universe is on your side!

 How do we actually move towards light?  Oftentimes we are carrying baggage to the point that we literally cannot move forward.  This can leave you feeling stuck, unaccomplished and even physically sick.  In this negative state it is likely that you will not be able to fully utilize the energy of expansion this season.  Cloudy thinking and feeling unable to make decisions are just a few mental signs indicating the need for release.  On the other hand, physical signs can include; acne, constipation, headaches and chronic coughs and/or cold like symptoms.  What is your mind and body telling you?  Essentially these signs all point to the need to let go, allowing yourself to realign and recharge.

 We position ourselves to move towards light in order to embrace our desires and goals by making sure that our inner life is receptive to all that is positive and affirming around us and that our physical vehicle (our body) is fit and free of toxins.  Simply put, clarity within coincides with the clarity we see in our world and our decision making.  Achieving this balanced state ultimately translates into clearer and more focused intentions yielding quicker and stronger manifesting for your personal and professional lives.

Endless Energy Expansion Spring 2011

Endless Energy Expansion- Spring 2011

 Written by Maati for The Bizness Magazine (Spring 2011 Issue)http://www.wix.com/thebizness/thebiznessmag#!about

The Spring marks a time for shape shifting and transition, a time for clearing away and outward expansion; making way for new ideals, healthier relationships and lucrative business pursuits.  Whether we know it or not the Earth is emerging into new growth and potential during this time.  The more we adhere to, acknowledge and align with nature, the more we reap the abundance she extends to us.

The reality is everything that happens in nature also happens within the human body on some level.  This is a fascinating truth that is fundamental in understanding how we can guarantee a successful and happy life.

Many of our lives are focused on raising our family, looking for a mate, starting a business, etc.  Although, these are all normal human activities, added to that are an infinite number of distractions- reality shows, medications, social networks, etc.  The answers are always right in front of our faces, yet many of us are totally missing the signs.  We are surrounded by and literally participating in awe inspiring phenomena on a daily basis, yet how many of us actually take the time to marvel at the artistry and genius of that which created and sustains us? 

Tuning in to our natural surroundings is a way to use the energy that already exists in order to effect positive change in our own personal, family and professional lives.  We all know that feeling when winter is finally over and spring is near…that budding anticipation, that’s the energy we should harness and literally channel towards a particular goal that we have!  We all have super powers USE THEM!  take that excitement, infuse it into visions of your business taking off, then sit back and wait for the magic to ensue!

 The Spring Equinox is the precise time when there is an equal amount of light and darkness and the scale is tipping towards an increase of light!  This is exciting because it is an opportune time to step into a new awareness, to make room for expansion and redefined potency in your life.  The Universe is on your side!

Immortal ways to utilize Springtime Energy

In your relationship

So you want to open to a new love or revitalize the love you have? Prepare your space for love!  Clean and clear away the clutter, make room for newness.  Make your home more inviting; get a new set of pillows…another set of towels.  Bring your perfect compliment to you by committing yourself to developing yourself!  Focus on strengthening your spiritual life, which often times begins with addressing your physical health.  Spring is the perfect time to stop smoking, fast, go raw, cut back on the sugar, start that yoga class…whatever the shift is for you, just do something towards your overall expansion, trust me, this makes everyone look sexy!   

In your family life

Have the desire to connect more with your children? TURN THE T.V. OFF; PUT YOUR CELL PHONE AND COMPUTERS AWAY!  Okay, now that I have your attention, these devices are truly blocking our communion with our youth.  Give your children the reverence they deserve.  Make eye contact when they speak, touch them, hug them, and laugh with them.  Ask them questions.  This all seems so simple and quite honestly it is, however we often take the small stuff for granted.  Creating and maintaining a healthy rhythm in the home is critical, especially for young children.  Try to start and end the day in the same way as much as possible.  A morning song or prayer and then at night lighting a small candle, followed by a gentle back rub and story is a good place to start.  Our children LOVE us and essentially are routing for us through all of our flaws.  Don’t allow yourself to feel hopeless as a parent; they need us to be whole in order to feel safe in this world.  Open yourself to a fresh new way of parenting, a revolutionary way that honors their sprit and divine intelligence, and encourages you to emerge into being the superior you.

In your Business    

As with anything in the realm of manifestation confidence and consistency go a long way.  So you want to take your business to the next level? Or increase the cash flow?  Free Up!  Release it, yes ALL of it, whatever it is that contributes to you doubting that it can and will happen for you.  Scared money don’t make money! You must be willing to take some risks and this is the time of year where you can consciously shift your anxiety into a surge of strength and vitality towards the intentional opening of doors and resources.  Rituals for prosperity are a must as you begin to really understand and embody the Universal concept of health and abundance.  Don’t be afraid to mix in some magic with the mundane.  Your office should exude wealth!  Add shades of gold, green and purple to your color scheme.  Buy some plants and please water themJ!!  Pick up any book on the art of Feng Shui and get to work!  Basically, your fear of failure must become a nonissue.  Once this happens you will be capable of tackling obstacles from a place of divine wisdom.  When you feel big you dream big, mashing out the idea of failure will set you on a focused path of self assuredness and success!  Now go make that money, don’t let that money make you!

Happy Spring!

Simple Spring Cleaning Rituals

Adding something Magical to the Mundane. 

Here some basic easy ways to clean and clear your space.  We’ve all done this..its not deep, its just adding the intention that brings on the magic!

Equinox Elixir Pt. 2-Clearing

 

So have you ever thought about the science behind Spring Cleaning?  Well, let’s think about this commonly practiced ritual for a minute.  One major aspect of ALLOWING is creating the proper environment for maximum growth.  Whenever you plan to do something or invite something or someone into your space what do we all do? ( or at least we think about it:0)  Of course, we CLEAN! yes we clean before our lover comes, before the big party, before we hang up that new piece of art etc.  Many of us also clean before we embark upon something new and important to us.  We may feel the urge to clean up before we snuggle up to a really good book or before we create something, do yoga, go out of town etc.  So what is this all about?  What are we really doing here?  We are CLEARING AWAY OBSTRUCTIONS.  In the noble art of ALLOWING CLEARING is a critical tool that actually supports our spirit as it takes a dive into whatever we are desiring to manifest.

So there you have it…none of this spiritual stuff is really deep.  Mostly its common sense and commitment.  You CLEAR AWAY that which no longer serves you so that you can attract the fresh abundance, insight and clarity you need to move upward and onward.  Do you want to boost your ALLOWING potential?  Then get to CLEARING AWAY all the stuff that’s in the way.  This may be a simple sweeping of your home, a juice fast, a hair cut, getting rid of that damn box that has been lingering in the hallway since December, or how about giving away your maternity clothes (especially when you KNOW your done 🙂 and how about getting homeboy’s sweatshirts out of your closet..having another man’s stuff all up and through your space….not a good look ladies, especially if you are working to manifest a divine mate (personal lesson).

So as you prepare yourself to ALLOW remember that CLEARING is a wonderful tool to put you into proper alignment with Source and all that is waiting for you!  Happy Spring Cleaning!

Equinox Elixir Pt. 1 –Allowing

So for all of the manifesting Immortal mamas out there that maximized their magical potential by doing the spiritual work required during the Winter Solstice, Now is your opportunity to see the budding fruits of your labor.  Spring is quickly approaching and another high energy time is upon us!  The Spring Equinox (March 21) is the perfect time for SEEING and ALLOWING our seeds (planted during the Winter Solstice) to flourish and become what they are so destined to become.  A wonderful time to practice the divine art of GETTING OUT OF THE WAY!  Simply put, if you plant a seed and then sit upon that soil, refusing to move, then that seed will not get what it needs to grow.  Ladies, all of the desires, goals and dreams we called for are quietly waiting for us to MOVE!! as my 2 year old daughter loves to say….MOOVE. 

Now for each of us the concept of allowing may look a little different.  For some MOVE may mean to sit your butt down  and allow the Universe to release what you have requested.  Stop the forward motion just a bit and ALLOW the coolness of divine insight to trickle down your head like refreshing cool water, providing the sweetest revelation and insight.

For others MOVE may mean just that…get your butt up and see what is right there!  Take the first small step, sprinkling a little water on those seeds may be all thats needed!  As manifesting mamas we must provide the proper conditions for growth.  We must constantly work to be in the zone, being a vibrational match for our desires guarantees success!

Well, only you know where you stand and its for you to ALLOW in the way that is appropriate for you and your situation.  Take the next two weeks to evaluate your level of ALLOWING, be honest and open to rearranging some things if need be.  This is your life and your experience.  GET OUT OF THE WAY and allow your inner genius to do what she is designed to do!

Moon Magic

We will soon be approaching the Spring Equinox on March 20.  This is a sacred time for cleansing and renewal.  Children absolutely love!!!! to celebrate all things in nature (NTR)…it is very important that we provide the context.  Our family recognizes each full and new moon, summer/winter solstice and  spring/fall equinox through art, song and ritual.  Our children live for these times.  Watching the moon grow and shrink, waiting for the first day of spring etc. is such a treat for cosmically connected children.  Take this opportunity to learn as much as you can.  Learn together as a family  (check out relevant children’s books, start a garden, have a moon party)  Design your own rituals with the little ones.  Just keep it simple and meaningful and let your inner wisdom do the rest!   

 The Moon is a sign-post which indicates the prevailing direction of the life force, the reproductive energy that animates all living things. There are basically two lunar phases: waxing and waning. When the moon is waxing, life energy on Earth increases. When the moon is waning, life energy is decreasing.

Waxing moon or first quarter moon is when the right portion of the moon is illuminated (ideal time for positive rituals). The waxing phase is used to activate, vitalize and increase.
Waning moon or last quarter moon is when the left quarter of the moon is illuminated (ideal time for banishing, study, and meditation). The waning phase is utilized to decrease, banish, and remove/block negativity.

In between you’ll have the new/dark moon this is when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction and there is total darkness (the time of greatest power for banishing and negative ritual) and the full moon (the time of greatest power for positive ritual). Most spiritualists do work around these lunar phases. To bring something into being begin at the New Moon, to cause the opposite begin at the Full Moon

Full Moon

Full Moon is an opportune time of the month for purging rituals to take place. The light the full moon offers illuminates those things that are interfering with our spiritual advancements. Once we have become enlightened to ways that are blocking us, the easier to let go. The full moon ritual is for releasing or purging the things in our lives that no longer serve us such as addictions to food, drugs, or sex, relinquishing suffering involved in hurtful relationships, discharging physical and emotional pains, etc.

New Moon

New moon ceremonies have to do with creation, manifestation, birth, and rebirth. The full moon completes the cycle, representing death, change, or tying up loose ends. The full moon symbolizes the end chapter, shedding light on the things that we no longer need to hold on to.
