The author of Messages from Water and the Universe and other books suggests a wonderful healing prayer on his blog here:  http://emotopeaceproject.blogspot.com/2011/03/to-our-friends-around-world.html.  He did extend the global prayer at noon through April 10, but we recommend doing it often and any time!

Note from Daria ~  Newsletter 10 Jan 2011

Hello Awakener,

I have SO loved spending three weeks with our fans & members in our Holiday Gift Clear Wisdom sessions.  As always, I am impressed and honored by your potential to Awaken the world and create permanent positive change.  

On Friday we posted the final call recording.  WOW!  For Kelly, our first caller, I saw intuitively two transformative info products she easily had within her.  (I can’t wait to buy them myself!) 

For Heather, the second caller, I tuned into a transformative program she can create right now that helps people make changes they’ve been meaning to make for a while.  (So often we know but don’t do, right?  BIG demand for that one!)

Get immediate access to these powerful recordings through this post:

Are You Drained By Your Healing or Intuitive Work?

One past teacher of mine said always to make sure I ate lots of protein during a healing day of clients.  Another said not to eat any food w/in a couple hours of seeing clients, since the food pulled you away from the esoteric levels.  I’ve learned countless energy protection techniques over the years…

And I don’t use a one. 

What I’ve found is that when you’re truly following your calling and expressing your life’s purpose, it’s invigorating and refreshing!  You don’t worry about picking up energies and feeling cruddy afterwards.  You actually feel better after seeing clients than before.

If this isn’t how your practice or business feels, take a good look at how you are working, your attitudes, your clients, what your’e offering, your life’s purpose, and your healing gifts.  Make sure they are all in alignment with who you really are.   

We’ll go into this in detail in our member training this month:  Secrets of the Energetically Secure — it’s all about energy protection that really WORKS and how to stop picking up icky energies from people.  

Join here to learn how to stop being drained by the energy vampires in your life:

Topic:  Your Spiritual Calling & How to Fulfill It
     With Daria Boissonnas, Founder of the Global Institute for Awakening

Here’s to you, to your gifts, and to all that is divine that flows through you into the world!

May 2011 be the year you follow your heart and step into your divine potential. 

May you leave the past and other troubles far behind you as you shift into a new, genuinely healing way of thinking and being. 

May you follow your calling and help many, many more to live better lives in 2011.

May you live happier, healthier, wealthier and wiser, and enable those around you to do so, too.

Many blessings on your journey forward,

& the team here at Global Institute for Awakening 

Habits can be positive or negative.  The word just means something you do so much you’re not conscious of it any more.  The dictionary says a habit is almost involuntary. 

Wait a sec, not voluntary? Who then is running your life?

Most of us live on poor habits we established in childhood, when we didn’t understand the world well.  These habits are based on flawed information or mistaken conclusions we made, yet we live by them without realizing it.  As an adult, many of these habits create more suffering than they do joy.  A good portion of the healing and consulting work I do with clients clears these old “rules of habit” out to make room for more accurate and positive ones based on the wisdom you’ve gathered in your life.

You can build positive, masterful habits.  Habits that are based on foundational Truths of the Universe, that create more love, service, wisdom and peace.  These positive habits naturally create material and spiritual wealth, money and meaning and, yes, happiness!  (Tho it’s not from the money.)  Naturally, without effort.  They are habits after all.

It only takes 21-30 days to seed a habit.  To create a seed that can grow into a well-established positive way of thinking or being.  A positive way of thinking and being that you default to without thinking.  Would you like to default to thinking wealth, wellness, wisdom and joy?

The more positive habits you have, the more head-room you have to enjoy life.  This is why our membership program gives you the exercises and training to make lifelong habits out of the positive skills and mindsets we practice.  Think how good your life can get with ten new positive habits a year and the support to live by them.  Join us today.

Mastery is not just about planning better.  Planning is an exercise of the thinking mind.  Mastery involves the knowing mind.  You must train your thinking mind to be guided by your knowing mind, and implement for it. 

Mastery comes from developing the HABITS of operating from the guidance of your knowing mind, positive habits, skills and a mindset that easily creates spiritual & material success.  Sure, you may plan better after you develop some mastery habits….  but planning better by itself will not bring mastery.

Are you developing these habits?  Regularly?  Do you have a step-by-step system to take you from “boohoo” to “woohoo”?

We do.  Build 10 new masterful habits a year with us.  http://GIAwaken.com/benefits   We challenge you to see how good your life can get in 2011.      Join today.

Hello Beautiful Soul!

We’ve been busy here, reviewing how far we’ve come (WOW!) and planning for next year.

Soon we will announce next year’s 10 life-enhancing core curriculum topics. They are exciting — we will challenge a few popular misunderstandings and empower you to make a bigger difference as you live an easier life!

Do NOT miss January’s training for members on Effective Energy Protection: Top Secrets and Techniques of the Energetically Secure.  January’s guest expert interview will be with Juliet Oberding, the lawyer to healers. We’ll talk about protecting your business or practice energetically and legally.  Join us today as a member, and start 2011 off on a strong note!

Beyond that, I have two BIG announcements:

1. Six Complimentary Consulting Sessions Available

Happy New Year!  Next week is the first of two calls where we are offering six F R E E Clear Wisdom intuitive consulting sessions to you, our fans and members. It’s one way we give back to you, and help you blast through your challenges so you can take your life to the next level of health, wealth, wisdom and joy.

Dates: Tuesdays, December 21 & 28, 2010
Time: 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern
Call: 402-237-2972, conference code 4632742#

2. A New 4-month fast-track Think Like a Healer™ program launching soon

Ready to make a quantum leap in your business/career or personal/family life next year?  Watch for our 4-month fast-track Think Like a Healer™ program.  We’ll teach you the mindset and attitude of someone who has mastered life’s challenges: a master healer.  More than that, we’ll give you the exercises to develop the skills and habits of a master healer.

We will answer your questions in the next few weeks, talking about anything from hand analysis to intuition, from manifesting easily to creating new paradigms of success, prepare to expand your mindset and life.  Watch for our announcements!

Here’s to you, to 2010, and to your greatest 2011!!  See you on the calls!

Many blessings,

We had been shoveling snow for over an hour this afternoon.  It had been loads of giggles with the kids, but now the temperature was starting to drop.  The wind seemed to have frozen one side of my legs and face.  I was getting tired and we weren’t done.  

So guess what — my thinking mind ran with those facts, off in its own direction.  I thought of all the other valuable things I could be doing.  And all the reasons I should be doing those things instead of this.  Excuses, complaints, wishes, and guilt trips.  My mind was off my work.  All I could see was how much more there was to do.

Then I remembered our spiritual practice focus for this month:  being of service.  All you have to do is ask, “How can I be of the most service here?”  And do it.  This practice can snap you out of boredom, misery, self-pity, and worse.  Fast.

It worked. 

How could I be of most service?  The answer was to lift everyone’s flagging spirits.  (There was a LOT of snow!)  So I joked around with my kiddos.  We got silly.  I helped the littler ones sled down the front steps.

The answer was to keep shoveling, and I did.  Faster.

The answer was to appreciate the crisp air, the gorgeous snow, the beautiful way it looks on the pines.  And I took a long moment to do that.  I can see it even now as I type.  I’m so glad I paused for that.

Suddenly I was having fun again.  I was present in the moment.  I was appreciative.  And best of all, I was in service.  The rest of the time skittered by quickly.

Develop the Positive Habits of the Spiritually & Materially Successful

Shifting into service is a skill, a mindset and — if you practice it – a powerful habit that keeps you out of negative emotions, stuck places, and weighty thoughts that can make you sick or tired.  10 times a year we train our members in powerful success skills like this.  For 4-6 weeks, we practice each one using simple exercises.  This is a powerful program of inner change that allows you to become a better leader out in the world.  It empowers you to create outer change.

Master your life with 10 new masterful habits of the spiritually and materially successful.  Soar in 2011.  Join us here:  http://GIAwaken.com/benefits.

Ten times a year, members of the Global institute for Awakening hear a fascinating interview with a guest expert in a topic that deepens our spiritual practice focus of the month.   Our current focus is on being of service.  Practicing this awakened attitude helps us get unstuck, move beyond our deepest fears, leapfrog old negative patterns, and create authenticity and genuine healing.  (Yes, it is that powerful!)

Today Daria Boissonnas, Founder of the Global Institute for Awakening, interviewed Jacqueline Hadden, the Conscious Connector.  They discussed a range of issues important to running a heart-based business or healing practice: 

• the ethics of affiliate marketing programs
• creating long-term business relationships that serve both businesses and especially the customer/client
• how to spot if someone isn’t right for your company
• what is a true realized teacher or expert
• a strategy for networking effectively and what commonly holds people back
• how to use your natural intuition in business
• and more!

Members can download the audio any time.

About Jacqueline Hadden

As the Conscious Connector, Jacqueline Hadden is passionate about helping her clients develop authentic connections and long-term relationships with both clients and business associates.  Drawing on more than 25 years’ experience in conscious connection, communication, and conflict resolution, Jacqueline puts it this way:  “I challenge individuals to delve deep into their essence, step out of their uncertainties, and connect with their most authentic and celebrated self.  Yes, you can create ideal, long-lasting relationships with other entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders.  And from there, you can create wealth in both relationships and finances.”

Jacqueline is well-versed in the psychology of interaction, and all aspects of what draws and repels people to and from each other.  But even better, she simply has an intuitive knack for connecting people with their own message and with those they can serve. 

Jacqueline lives in Calabasas, California with her husband, two beautiful children, a dog and a bearded dragon.  Her interests include horses, animals, hiking, exercise, dance, music, art, theater, travel, reading, writing, networking events, and of course, people.

Our Fave Quotes from Jacqueline

(Join here to hear the full recording immediately:  http://GIAwaken.com/benefits)

“My rule of thumb for myself is that if I have to question it more than once, that’s one time too many.” 

‎”If you are coming from the right place, you can’t make the wrong decision.”

Have you ever gone to a conference, expo or retreat and come back a different person?  Maybe thinking more expansively, feeling relaxed, with lots of new ideas and excitement about what you are doing in the world? 

I just spent a few days in Los Angeles at the Smart Women’s Business Conference & Expo as an exhibitor and am sooo right there, right now!!  The people I connected with are changing the world, and I loved it!  I came back with such clarity about how we can help even more people even more!  My feet are still not quite touching the ground.

When you come home, however, the magic can begin to fade.  Your “real life” intrudes on your brilliant ideas and exuberant feelings.  Maybe the bathroom faucet is still leaking, a relationship is still challenging, you still hate your job, or you have ongoing pain in your life.  And in contrast to the experience you just came from, it hits you in the face, hard.  Bleah.

But challenges like this are opportunities in disguise!  Look beyond the disguise to make business trips even more enriching.  Pay attention when you come back.  Hang on to that expansive mindset and feeling, and allow yourself to notice your “old” life without getting caught up in it.  Remember: what you’re seeing is the life of the person who WENT on the business trip, not the person who came back.  Just notice it.

Take Two Steps to Change Your Life

Now make that trip permanently enriching.  Choose just TWO areas in your life where you can feel a before-and-after contrast.  An area of your home, your life, your job, your relationships, your habits.  Choose two to change.  Just two.  Maybe one personal and one business.  Make the trip and the expense worth it by cementing in your newly expanded attitude into your life.

Take an action now and set up a routine, a new way of being and thinking, that takes care of the problem that seems so obvious to you now.  Call the plumber, take your friend to lunch and have a heart-to-heart, or start or break off that other relationship.  Call a healer or therapist or lawyer, whatever you need to heal that part of your life. 

If you’re a member of the Global Institute for Awakening, you can take these two intended changes and apply the powerful techniques we taught in your seminar “How to Find What You’ve Been Missing.”  To join as a member and get this workshop on how to make your dreams reality, click here.

You ARE the more expansive you who came back from that trip.  That IS who you are, and I’m happy you’re feeling it!  Now incorporate that into your life so you can help more people more easily!

Our spiritual journeys repeatedly require us to streeeeeeeeetch in to new areas, to try on new ideas, and to push ourselves through new experiences.  This is how we grow and expand into our greatest potential.  It’s how we bring our inner gifts into the world around us.

What do you do when you are nervous and uncertain, on the verge of one of those new stretches?  Do you push yourself through it?  Tough it up, close your eyes, and go? 

Today we are so used to taking ACTION and PUSHING to make things happen that we forget about the soft approach, where we can stop struggling and simply invite the greatest possible outcome in to our lives.

In my experience, the best advice is the simplest:  in any stressful or uncertain situation, just ask how you can be of service.

It is that simple.  Whereever you go, whatever is worrying you, this is the best advice for resolving the challenges and moving forward.  Whether you are speaking on stage at an event, teaching a big class, or seeing a new client, this works like a charm! 

I recently had the opportunity to “hear” this again and apply it myself.  I have been asked to speak at a new kind of event.  Being naturally shy, I panicked for a time about what I was going to do and bring and say.  Then my business coach (Sheri McConnell) casually said one day to focus on being of service.  Zing!  Like a flash of lightning, I knew she was right. 

Practice Stopping the Struggle

I talk all the time about how we often create artificial struggles in our lives by pushing instead of simply opening to receive.  The more I thought about how I could be of service there, the calmer and calmer I felt.  Then what I should bring started popping into my head, and I knew exactly what to do!  It was magical.  Asking “how can I best be of service?” eliminated my worries and connected me with the exact solution I needed. 

In our membership training call this month, I’ll delve into this inspiring topic more deeply (November 16th).  If you’d like to join us, sign up for a year’s membership here, and we’ll send you the details:  http://GIAwaken.com/benefits.  Otherwise, join us on your own in practicing “how can I be of service?” through the end of the year!

And remember to share your experiences with us — we love to hear from you, either at Support@GIAwaken.com, or by commenting on this post, below.

Are you as wealthy as you like?  Are you finding true fulfillment and meaning while  exchanging your greatest value with the world and earning as much wealth, wellness & wisdom as you want?

Then perhaps you too can benefit from healing your finances.

For over 12 years as a healer I’ve helped people to let go of the emotional, mental and spiritual issues surrounding money.  Wow, do we have some doozies!  Too many of us think it’s shameful to make lots of money, or pious to suffer with less.  I often hear the famous Bible passage misquoted — for the record, money is not the root of all evil.  The LOVE of money is.  The love of your fancy car and big house.  Loving your stuff to feel better compared to other people.

Here are just three ways that make creating healthy finances (and even getting rich) spiritually OK:

1. Be in Fair Exchange
You can make lots of money by offering your skills and natural gifts to the world in fair exchange. My definition of fair exchange involves both sides receiving more than they give.  How does that work?  Your client pays for a service and receives much more value than they paid.  You work and receive generous compensation for your time and expertise.

For instance, I just helped a client sell their house for $200+K more than the last offer by clearing some mental blockages against receiving so much money.  My fee for this service is roughly $200.  They made an extra $200,000, so they got their value.  It took me about 30 minutes of work, and I have to say, I’m happy to receive $200 for 30 minutes of work!

2. Be Authentically You

What is authenticity?  It means you are sharing your true gifts with the world, not offering what you think everyone wants to experience of you.  It means letting your unique light shine and being transparent about your quirks.  In business or life, authenticity in has the same seven attributes as a healing action from a Creative Healer: 

1. Based on compassion.  You know how people feel and you want to help.

2. In loving detachment.  You aren’t invested in the outcome.

3. No expectation or need of return.  Not expecting a certain reaction from anyone.

4. You connect to the highest potential in the situation.  You make the effort and use your expertise to hold only the greatest thoughts and intentions. 

5. Enables and empowers positive change.   It’s truth-based and thinks bigger than the “problem” addressed.  (It comes from the healer’s mindset!  This we teach!)

6. Not in ego.  No need to be soothed, admired, exalted, put on a pedestal.

7. Committed to help others.  Walk your talk.  Roll up your sleeves and put your muscle where your mouth is.

3. Give Aways
I charge a lot for my services due to the effectiveness and quick results of my work, my years of experience, and my unique viewpoints on healing and the mindset of the master healer.  But I always make room each month for a few giveaways, where I meet for free for 15 minutes with people who believe they can’t afford my services.  I have dreams and plans to expand my philanthropy as the Global Institute for Awakening grows, too. 

Please give away your money in a healthy way, however.  Don’t resent the giveaway.  Don’t give with strings — let go of how you think it should be spent.  And don’t give money away because you feel guilty about having it.  Your value in this world is absolutely priceless.  You deserve an abundance of everything there is, including money.

Have you been guilt-tripping yourself about not having a spiritual practice?  The truth is, you already do have one.  Maybe you’re not meditating like a monk or levitating like a lama, but you do have a spiritual practice. 

The question is:  is your current practice doing for you what you need it to do?

This month’s focus in the Global Institute for Awakening’s Life Mastery ~ Healing Mastery Training Program is on building a spiritual practice.  In the training call, available to anyone who joins as a member, I discussed the two sides of every spiritual practice:  maintenance and moving you forward.  You must include both.

Your big assignment here on this blue planet – should you choose to accept it – is to genuinely express the gifts and blessings you already have within you.  Doing so makes the world a better place.  (And the Universe guarantees in spades that you have such gifts and dreams!!)

The purpose of your spiritual practice, then, is to train your body and mind to align with this wonderful Potential and gift within you, so you can easily share it.  Whether you’re just starting out or know exactly what your purpose is – your spiritual practice hones your skills so you are ready for the next leap in life.  And the next.  Spiritual practice helps you train, nourish, and utilize your body and mind so you can get out there doing what you came to the planet to do.  Your spiritual training ultimately helps you live an enjoyable life while you share your message for the world.

It does not have to be boring or difficult.

Anything in your life can be “spiritual”, and so your spiritual practice can be anything.  Maybe you go for regular walks to commune with nature.  This activity tones and resets your energy patterns and relaxes you.  Perhaps you choose to love your children unconditionally.  Perhaps you get body massages regularly or go to therapy to clear childhood issues.  Perhaps you take a moment to appreciate all you have at the end of the day.

If it helps you make the world a better place or improves your personal relationship with the Universe, it’s a spiritual practice.

Your main goal is to nourish and nurture your body and mind and heart and dreams, while you sharpen your skills to do even more good in the world.

How might you improve your daily spiritual practice, today? 

If you’d like some guidance, join as a member and listen to the September training call right now!

I used to avoid exercising.  I could not make myself do it.  Have you been in the same boat with self-improvement or resolving a certain problem? 

Yes, I had the treadmill that slid under the bed.  I had weights and tapes.  But they gathered dust, and I loaded up on the guilt.  I wanted the results (fitness, health, self-confidence, a hot body) but I didn’t want to go through the process. 

When I decided it was really, really time to get in shape, I found a shortcut.  I found a way to make it easy: I took a class.  (A martial arts class, but that’s not the important point.)

While I could not make myself exercise at home, I could drag myself to a class and do what the teacher said.  Classes had other benefits: beginners like me to comiserate with, advanced students to ask for tips, and intensive weekend classes with national-level teachers to learn special routines.  Yeah, I was sore for the first while, but all of us beginners were.  It was funny and we bonded.  It wasn’t so bad.

After about 8 months, the results of consistently going to classes started to become clear.  Consistency is a huge key to success.  When you show up, things happen, even when it doesn’t seem like it at first.  You have to get the momentum going energetically.  Consistency tones and strengthens your energy system and helps you make change.  Without doing anything extra, I started dropping weight.  Eventually I whittled down to size 6, which I hadn’t been since coming up through the sizes in early high school.  Wow, was that fun!

The Formula for Success

To get unstuck doing something good for yourself that you are resisting:

1.  Commit to a quality program that takes you to your goal, even if you can’t commit to yourself.  Find a wise teacher and a great place you’re excited about.  Pay enough so you want to get to classes.  Show up and let the teacher take it from there.

Tip:  Please don’t let this be the class you take to distract you from your misery.  Let it really help.  Where are you stuck in your life?  Take a look at your top 5 frustrations and miseries.  Think about what you need to break through them.  Ask friends, make a list, find places that do that.  You are worth it!

2. Keep showing up.  Even when you can’t see the results, they are building.  Your body, mind, and energy is rearranging itself.  Each time you go to class (or meditate or take those vitamins or…), you reinforce to yourself that you are the kind of person that does that, easily and regularly.  It WILL pay off.   

Tip:  Make a cool chart and check off the classes so you can see your progress!  Mark on your calendar when you do the exercises so that you can see and appreciate all your work!  Track your meditation time and add it up.

Mastering life — and therefore mastering healing and problem-solving so you can live a great life you love — is all about understanding attachment and detachment.  It’s about letting GO appropriately.

Imagine you are a complex electronic device with a zillion cords coming out of you.  Your entire spiritual journey is about deciding what to plug into, and what to detach from.  And when. 

That’s the bottom line.  This activity actually defines who you are and what you can do in the world.  It definitely affects how yummy it is to live your daily life!

Your life’s journey is about deciding what is appropriate to be connected to, and what is harmful to connect to.  For example:

• What beliefs you should plug into
• What moment in time you enjoy attaching to (“now” is highly recommended by sages)
• What friends and colleagues to surround yourself with
• What issues you should let go of, repair or strengthen.

To do that well, it helps to learn how to easily sense or judge what connections will move you forward on your spiritual journey, and which ones are holding you back and even causing you pain. 

This month, our members are focusing on exercising that exact spiritual “muscle”!

Our member training right now is to focus your spiritual or self-improvement practice on recognizing harmful attachments and letting them GO.

Since we humans easily numb out to our pain, letting go is a crucial skill to have in your spiritual toolbox! 

The more easily, perceptively and sooner you can let go, the easier your life’s journey — not to mention you can save great emotional and financial expense as well as time along your way!

What Is Attachment?

Attachment is a natural energetic process all living beings do in order to exchange information.  In 12 years of energy healing, I’ve seen that conscious, living beings create energy bridges to communicate.  (And let me tell you, a heck of a lot more information goes across energetic connections than verbal or visual ones!) 

After you connect to another form of consciousness, whether a person or idea or system, then repeated communication builds a stronger connection.  Over time, energetic connections are built on many levels.  They become so complex they can be difficult to break.

Yet, after the communication is over, for instance after a relationship ends, these connections naturally fade.  They may be painful at first.  We have to adjust to them not being there.  We must change our habits of thinking and being to create new energy bridges that function similarly.  It’s hard.  But this fading process is natural and one of the reasons for the adage, “Time heals all wounds.”  

Sometimes, however, for reasons we may or may not be aware of, we hang on to a connection or energy bridge inappropriately.  The time has passed, the other person has moved on, or the belief is no longer appropriate. 

When we hang on to something beyond its expiration date… it starts to stink.  (Hadja noticed?)

In order to artificially halt the natural fading of this energy connection, you have to feed it energy, sometimes LOTS of daily energy.  You might use negative emotions to charge up that connection and keep it alive!  Ouch.

When we hold an attachment inappropriately, several things can happen, none of which are health- and happiness-inducing in my opinion.  Practicing letting go can help you eliminate this sort of thing from your life:

• Negative drama
• Fatigue
• Environmental clutter
• Physical clutter (energy of illness, toxins, parasites, cysts…)
• Emotional clutter
• Mental clutter
• Spiritual clutter (do you know exactly what you are here to do?)
• Repeating lessons and not learning
• Expense of time and money as you run in circles
• Not fully supporting yourself

Let’s Let Go, Together

That’s why an important part of spiritual traditions involve exercises or practices to break the older, outdated attachments while creating and strengthening positive, life-enhancing attachments.

Please join us this month — join us as a member and save $50 through the end of August — and work on mastering this valuable skill.  Practicing letting go will contribute to the amount of grace and ease you can experience via your health, happiness and daily life.  Our program makes it easy, and we don’t tell you what to believe.  Let’s practice cutting those old attachments together!  You can do this.

“How poor are they that have not patience! 
What wound did ever heal but by degrees?” 
— William Shakespeare

Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world works.

– Astronomer Carl Sagan, in The Demon-Haunted World

There is one magazine I’ve subscribed to consistently over the years: National Geographic.  I love it because it takes me all over the world where I see similarities between my life and way of being and many others’. 

Task #3 of Awakening is Explore Possibility in the world.  We explore how the world works right here at the Global Institute for Awakening and deliver it to your in-box.  We adventure to the edges of possibility and potential, with the latest scientific discoveries and oldest spiritual truths.  We explore topics like energy healing, the power of the mind, and the nature of our highest purpose and potential, all in clear, neutral language that is compatible with most belief systems. 

Don’t miss out on your Potential and the joy of doing what you were born to do.  Join us for a year  and see how great your life can get with our core curriculum training.  Awaken your mind and understand the world on a new level. 

Hi, Daria here.  Yesterday was a magical day for me, and I wanted to share it with you. 

First, I scheduled an excellent guest expert for our members on July 28th.  She is the highly recommended esoteric astrologer Heidi Rose Robbins, founder of the Hello Love experiment, poet, Shakespearean theatre denizen, and mom of two. 

I’ve asked Heidi on for some key insights into what esoteric astrology is, how it works, and the big astrological events coming up in early August that have some people talking doom and gloom and failure of worldwide systems. 

Negativity is not our style here, right?  We want the level-headed scoop.  Even more than that, we want to know what we can do to help make the shift easier for all of humanity.  I for one can’t wait to hear what she has to say!

Then my day got better. 

Not only will she answer all our questions, but she spontaneously and generously offered to show us how she does a natal chart analysis, too.  I was thrilled!  Going through examples really helps me learn new things, how about you?  That means our members receive not only a fascinating interview, but an example natal chart and her full audio analysis of it. 

Perhaps I should also mention here that the example will be, gulp, me… 

Then it got weirder.  In chatting on facebook, we discovered the most amazing coincidences.  Not only am I also a rabid fan of Shakespeare and a poet, no surprise there, but we both lived in Fargo, North Dakota, in the 1970s.

Think about that.  Only about 120,000 people were in Fargo then, a tiny fraction of a fraction of the U.S. population.  But the blind recommendation from the Seven Ray Institute in New Jersey was someone I may have talked to at the park some 30+ years ago.

I love this life!  When you’re in your purpose, fascinating “coincidences” occur.

About the Seven Ray Institute (which recommended Heidi)

From their website:
A Spiritual and Universal Approach toward Essential Being
All our educational programs are based upon the system of esoteric philosophy known as the “Ageless Wisdom,” or the “Trans-Himalayan Wisdom,” derived from the teachings of the Christ (in the New Testament), the Buddha, and other Spiritual Masters, with special emphasis on the writings of the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul. We believe that the Ageless Wisdom forms the heart and soul of the world’s great religions and philosophies and our mission is to promote an understanding of the Ageless Wisdom wherever in the world we can find a true response.

Motto:  “To understand comprehensively, to live wisely, to serve selflessly”

A radio with a poor receiver plays a lot of static.  It’s hard to hear what’s going on.  Details are lost.  The station fades in and out and needs constant attention to retune it.  A poor receiver is tiring to use, and a lot of work with less enjoyment.

In your life, you receive with your body, mind, and being.  But being a poor receiver creates a lot of static in your life: confusion, blocked intuition, slowed spiritual progression, frustration and misery.  What your receiver naturally tunes to is your inner guidance to do your life’s mission — to find and enact that way you were born to change, heal, and otherwise improve the world.  Being a poor receiver interferes with this awakening process and causes unhappiness.

The problem is that in our crazy “go, go, go” and “do, do, do” culture, receiving is something most of us are really bad at… and we don’t realize it.  This is why our Membership program includes Core Curriculum training where you build one Awakened habit a month  —  and this month, our members are focusing on building the habit of RECEIVING WELL.  (A habit means you do something easily without thinking about it.)

Receiving well allows you to succeed and exercise your power to change the world.  The better you receive, the more you improve your health and life, and create healing in the world for others.  (Healing being the permanent improvement in function or structure of any system.)  When you receive well, you can find joy in every moment.  You can see the extraordinary in the ordinary.  You can live an extraordinary life and help others more effectively and with less effort. 

Receiving makes the process of spiritual awakening easier and faster, too.  Again, because we are not used to it, we must PRACTICE receiving.

Is your receiving stuck? 

Here are just a few issues that may come from NOT receiving well.  (If any sound too familiar, consider joining us as a member!)

• Struggling just to maintain your status, reputation, job, or bank account
• A life clogged with things that don’t serve or support you any more: stuff, activites, relationships, or a job
• Not knowing who you are or why you’re here
• Feeling stuck thinking you can’t solve a certain problem or get out of a difficult situation
• Feeling constantly drained and tired
• Not trusting the world to provide what you need, worrying
• A negative opinion of yourself, your past, or your body
• Feeling like you don’t have enough time to exercise or actively practice your spiritual principles

Would you like to receive more wealth, wellness, and wisdom so you can better share it?

The benefits of receiving well are manyfold!  Practice receiving to improve your:

• Efficiency  — Let go of things in your life that aren’t working (before they are removed more forcefully by your life’s journey…)
• Enjoyment  —  Enjoy your self more, even in situations you used to hate
• Ability to Heal and Help Others  —  Allow more healing to flow through you into the world (whether or not you call yourself a ”healer”!)
• Intuition  —  Hearing your inner guidance much more clearly and more often
• Connection and Support  —  Feeling more supported and emotionally connected to the people and world around you (without unhealthy attachment)
• Comfort  —  Feeling less worried and more certain that what you need is always there
• Effectiveness  —  Being better able to change your life and succeed in a positive life-changing way
And SO much more
