July Full Moon Lunar Eclipse 2019

7/17/2019

The July 16th Eclipse is one of the most potent and transformative points of the year, but we are ready for it, we are here and strong enough to handle it, and like all things in life- this too shall pass.

July 16th we had a Partial Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in the sign of Capricorn. The Full Moon, which usually illuminates the night sky, was partially hidden by the shadow of the Earth, creating an alignment that will bring new insights and information to the surface.

The energy behind this Eclipse is so intense, and beamed energy to flow from the darkness and from the light to expose our shadows and things we have been hiding that we need to release.

While finally releasing and endings are a big theme of this Eclipse, there is something deeper happening here too. This Eclipse is not just guiding us to release and bring closure to things that have served their time, it is also guiding us to stretch; to stretch the limits of our mind, our body, and our soul.

Can you feel the shift? I know I can and it a wonderful feeling, within. All the hard work to get here, you can now take a breath to stretch connect and realise.

We all know how good it feels after taking a big breath and stretch. Knots and anxiety can be released, you feel more aligned and elongated, and there is more space for blood and energy to flow freely.

July is my month to embrace this amazing time, I want to inspire you to make it yours, also.

That is the work of this Eclipse. It will be stretching us, literally cracking us open, helping us to release the anxiety, knots and tensions of the past. It will be stretching us from one end to the other so we can find our true alignment. I find getting to a deep Yoga class can help with the process, or if you can not get to the studio, check out my online Yoga it is deep and it will help you stretch beyond limits.

Under the energy of this amazing Eclipse, we may feel like we are being stretched to our limits or pulled in two different directions, without going to yoga, lol.
We may have to choose a path, or we may feel torn between one mode of action versus another. Can you feel it? I certainly can while spending my July in Bali, living a lifestyle I dreamed up ten years ago, but no its here...what is yours?
A decision will have to be made, but the Eclipse will be your guide and will deliver the answers in the perfect timing.
While we wait to see which path is the best fit for our souls, we have to remember to keep stretching and opening.
We have to work on letting go of the things that we know have no place in our hearts and minds, as this work will free us up to make those judgment calls and decisions that will affect the next chapter of our lives. In fact it is so powerful for me I am publishing my fourth book and on this transformation time of my own life.

DM me or send me a note to say hi or share yours.

Smiles and hugs from Bali

Mood Boosters

Hi there,

Have you had a massive week! Restoring your temple and your mind is everything for living life with passion and VITALITY.

We all need a little mood boosting from time to time.

These Tips are practical and they work.

Mood Booster Techniques

Control the direction of your thinking- choose to identify and eliminate negative thoughts from your mind.

1. Choose your peer group wisely-they can either lift you up or tear you down. Be bold and be honest in your assessment of your circle of influence.

2. Get plenty of quality sleep- invest in a comfortable mattress, pillows, soft sheets and tranquil thoughts. Use the mediation CDs to help you relax and to clear your mind before sleep.

3. De-clutter your space- an organised environment at home and at work results in an increased sense of calmness.

4. Keep your work and home environment bright and airy- light increases serotonin levels and lifts mood. An airy environment helps increase oxygen flow and energy levels.

5. Listen to uplifting music- Music is the ultimate mood changer. It can take you from the depths of listlessness to the heights of exhilaration. Invest in an ipod or MP3 player with your favorite mood booster play lists on it. Try Wilson Phillips 'Hold On', Savage Garden 'Affirmation', your favourite band, or embrace some yoga music such as 'Deva Premal', spiritual, sensuous and relaxing.

6. Stay aware of your body language- posture and facial expressions are powerful influences on the brain's neuro-transmitters, so walk tall, sit straight and smile!

7. Take a break and do something different- just doing something different will help break the state that you're in (e.g. if you've been working on the computer for a long period, just get up and walk around or try having a fresh glass of cold water or telling a joke).

8. Use the power of visualization- we can re-live a previous highlight or future utopia (and its associated positive emotions) at any stage by using the creative energy of our minds.

9. Look for reasons to laugh- the act of laughing, or even faking a laugh can elevate mood levels significantly. It is my mission to make people laugh again and be happy!

10 Aromatherapy-when lavender and rosemary scent oils are emitted from an oil diffuser, people tend to feel more contented and relaxed. Try my blend at night of geranium and lavender oil.

11. Massage-touch creates measurable changes in brain wave activity. Treat yourself to a professional massage or get your partner to stimulate energy flow and mood through massage.

12. Engage in acts of kindness- helping others not only makes us feel good, but it helps other people to feel better, because they see that you care about them.

13. Nutrition- You are what you eat. A healthy diet will provide you with more energy and vitality.

14. Get out and about around Nature. Research has noted that spending time at around trees helps increase good quality oxygen to your body.
For me this is my number one too along with yoga & meditation. 👌🏻🌾
