Saying YES to Life

The last couple of weeks I have made an effort to do something different each day. Whenever opportunities come and I have been asked to do something that is out of my "normal life" I have said yes. It has made me think about "Yes Man"..... one of my favourite Jim Carrey movies. It has has given me new experiences, challenges and openned my eyes to the joy in the world and the hidden talents I have. It has made me see myself a little differently, helped me feel a little younger  and propelling me to say yes more.

Last Monday due Pastoral Care with my tutorial class we looked at Chinese astrology. Kids had fun reading about the sign they were born under and worked out how old I am!!! This year is the year of the Water Dragon. Great link to read on your Chinese sign is http://www.usbridalguide.com/special/chinesehoroscopes/Dragon.htm

Also this week Mars is retrograge in Virgo for three months. It will affect all of us differently depending when Virgo is located in our own charts. Those of you who like to plan, analyse and proceed step by step will flourish under this energy. Those of you who do things spontaneously, will find life a little more frustrating and challenging. It is a good time to take care of yourself, your health and your envirnmnet. Declutter and cleanse your body and your home (and if you can your work area). Stimulate your mind by reading, watching movies, go to or listening to lectures.

Has anyone read The Book Thief? this was highly recommended and did not realise the author is Australia.

Adventure.....are we ready for it?

Adventure to some is exciting, exotic and exhilarating, to others it is fearful, causes anxiety and dread. This year 2012,  the universal vibration is 5, so change is for everyone. Change is an adventure. So make it easier for yourself, choose to have a positive attitude about the changes ahead. Be open to possibilities and accept what is ahead.

Possibilities can be numerous and the decision on what to do can be challenging (stressful). It can be more comfortable to choose the path that is familiar or no risk involved, but leads to a stagnant life filled with boredom and a lack of lustre. So TAKE RISKS!!!! Go beyond your own limitations (those things you say that, you can't do, or not good at). If there is something you are passionate about, yet you talk yourself out of doing it .......JUST DO IT!!!!! You are living in the right vibrational energy this year to take the risk and satisfy your passions. All I can say is put on those cowboy boots and enjoy the new frontier. Look around this new frontier, explore it and learn to observe it in different ways.

I can sense stress levels rising.......change can be small, but it can give you more back than you first realise. Is there something about your appearance you may want to change?....hair colour or style, wearing colour mascara (you're never too old to wear coloured mascara), put on red shoes or wear bold jewellery. The daily routine drives can be varied. Take a different way...you may initially get lost, but that is the fun part. Do your weekly shopping at a different centre or store or market. Make changes to your home or your lifestyle. Join a social group where people share an interest, like book club or bush walking or history reenactment group. The possibilities are countless, just don't wait for an opportunity.....create it and JUST DO IT!!!!!!

If you are feeling restless this year, then you are not being active enough and not taking up  opportunities the universe is throwing at you. Needing help to make the best of this adventurous year? Here are some ways to feel less anxious and more confident

•  call on Archangel Ariel to help you face your fears and support you on your new adventure.
• Wear, carry or hold Turquoise or Aquamarine
• meditate daily (even 5 minutes of sitting quietly and concentrating on your breathing)
• Year of Water Dragon this year....so declutter yourself and your surroundings. Make room for your desires. Remember.....be careful what you wish for. Think about what you say you want, and visualise how you feel if you have what you are wishing for. The dragon is a manifestor.
• Affirmations to say
