My magical day and our next Guest Expert Interview

Friday, July 16th, 2010

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”

How to pray without praying

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Does the idea of “praying” make you uncomfortable?  That doesn’t make the process less powerful.

For thousands of years sages have recommended spending time each day in prayer, or even living your entire life as a prayer, so you might suspect it has a spiritual benefit.  Anything with a spiritual benefit translates into a potential mental, emotional, relationship, or physical benefit, too.  Without consuming chemicals — and it’s free.

Sounds good to me.

So what is praying and how can we get this done without invoking discomfort or unpleasant childhood memories of formal religion?  It starts with getting into a quiet and comfortable space.  Try your favorite chair.  I like to close my eyes, but you don’t have to.

This is not meditation: meditation is listening.  Praying or not-praying is talking — to your conscience, your subconsious and to the Universe at large, or to God if you like to put it that way (I happen to, but it’s not necessary).  I see prayer as a type of visualization or manifestation.  It actually has been proven to have results in many studies,* and it carries an energy that can be perceived by some people.**

You don’t have to address anyone.  By getting into a relaxed appreciative state, your thoughts automatically go out in a preaddressed, prepaid envelope to the right place. 

Step 1.   I start with appreciating what I have or what has happened to me recently.  Anything and everything.  “Thanks that was a fun and great movie last night; I appreciate my car starting every morning; I love my beautiful children, my house, my collection of space rocks, my pet werewolf Fluffy…”  Whatever you can think of that brings up a genuine positive emotion.  That will get you in a good space for the next phase of our not-praying: visualizing.

Step 2.  What would you love for to happen?  Your Aunt Bertha to recover from her hip fracture?  Your company to grow and expand even in recession?  For someone to find a way to clean up toxic environmental waste?  Use your imagination but make sure what you are asking for is not selfish and gives you the warm fuzzies.  Ask for things that help those around you.  Remember that the sages also say that you are everything and everything is you, so wishing your annoying neighbor would drop dead is not in your personal best interest.

Some holy texts encourage us to pray constantly — to be in this state all the time.  Can you do that?  Wouldn’t it be a fun, mind-bending experiment to walk around for one day constantly in appreciation of every little thing (“thank you for this clean toilet flushing and the cool feeling of the clean water on my hands and for this soap dispenser being full…”) while also visualizing the best outcome of everything you do (“I love that my 9:00 meeting will start on time and end early and that I will surprise myself with how much writing I do today…”).

Here’s one teeny-tiny catch:  you have to completely ignore when the actual outcome doesn’t match your not-praying visualization.  That’s not the point.  The point is to practice expecting it.  Praying, or not-praying, is a powerful exercise for your mind that actually opens you up to greater potential. You might find after about five minutes that your mind is quite flabby and out of practice of expecting the best.  Hmm.  Better fix that!  Try again.  Get back on that horse!

This exercise can keep you in that uplifting state of mind I describe with the technical term of “magical”.  Others call it a state of divine Grace. 

Try it.  I dare you.  And let me know how it goes.

*For info about results from prayer, try any Larry Dossey book, especially Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine, available at amazon through this link. 
**Read Dannion Brinkley’s At Peace in the Light, where he describes being in a severe pain from an aneurysm and could see and feel when a number of people started praying for him.  Other documentation of this phenomenon lies in many, many other books.  Go find ‘em.
