Final gifts of the season!

Hello...I am enjoying the quiet stillness of the snow and cold, as the old year winds down. Many people enjoyed that energy on our call last night, the winter stillness. And perhaps it was also our theme, "Aligning with Acceptance, Optimism and Peace of Mind."

Here's the link to the recording--enjoy! It's slightly over an hour long. On the call I mentioned that the format of free calls will be changing in 2011--they will be teaching calls, and more of an intro to my work. The group repatternings will continue to be available through paid subscriptions or a la carte sessions, as will my Mercury Retrograde and Joyful Manifesting proxy sessions. I also mentioned a holiday special on private sessions for new clients, which you are welcome to take advantage of.

Many blessings,
Ellen

Here is some powerful and useful information about the eclipse/Solstice, shared by Lira Wright, an intuitive healer in Santa Fe:

Solstice Moon by Allison Rae
Tuesday, 14 December, 2010 (posted 17 December, 2010)

A great moment of truth approaches.

Over the next seven days, our Sun aligns with the heart of the Milky Way Galaxy. On Monday night, just hours before the Solstice, the Earth's shadow will cross the face of the Full Moon, collapsing time in a dimensional portal of infinite possibility.

Welcome to this year's Solstice. Standstill. Night of Creation. Ancient home.

The total eclipse of the Moon will be visible throughout the Americas . The effects will radiate beyond time and space to all sentient life, everywhere, carrying our hopes and prayers into the next millennium.

The alignment of the eclipse with the galactic core is a rare cosmic phenomenon and not a coincidence. It's connected with 2012 and the Mayan calendar, the cycles of Venus, the Earth and the Moon. This opening in the heavens signals a time of great change on Earth, of purification and enlightenment.

Deep, unmasked truth lies at the heart of this eclipse. Whatever darkness remains within our own hearts will be revealed. Within the interplay of shadow and light, secrets from the individual and collective unconscious are exposed in tones of raw emotion. Suffering is transformed by the caress of perfect love.

This is likely to be a most uncomfortable passage through the heart of darkness and into the ultimate bliss of self-realization, the galactic consciousness that awaits our embrace.
The Serpent
Right now the Sun is transiting a part of the sky that connects us with the Great Beyond via Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer.

The medicine of this great healer is truth, a potent elixir that heals the wounds of many lifetimes and helps us find our way home to love. The serpent initiates our becoming.

Each year, the Sun aligns with this region of the heavens, and divine cosmic frequencies stream to Earth on the galactic cross. This is the alignment that religions and spiritual traditions around the world celebrate as the return of spiritual light to Earth.

As 2012 approaches and the Mayan calendar comes to a close the feathered serpent symbolizes our ascended state as fully realized, galactic humans. Out of darkness we are reborn.
The Eclipses
A most auspicious event happens this year as the lunar and solar cycles dovetail in a special eclipse series that coincides with the Turning of the Ages on Earth.

These eclipses echo the Grand Cardinal Cross eclipse series earlier this year and yet another series a year ago. This entire period marks a turning point for humanity and the Earth.

Eclipses happen in six-month and 19-year cycles. Issues that surfaced over the summer months will be back, with higher stakes this time. Themes will also relate to 1991 when eclipses previously happened in the same place in the sky.

Both individually and collectively, we're beginning a new cycle along these timings, within the context of the great cycle shift known as the Turning of the Ages.

The December 20/21 event is the first total lunar eclipse in three years. There will be two more in 2011.

In the Americas , where the eclipse is visible, it happens overnight December 20-21. Here's the timing:

Partial eclipse begins 1:33 AM Eastern December 21
Total eclipse begins 2:41 AM Eastern December 21
Mid-eclipse 3:17 AM Eastern December 21
Total eclipse ends 3:53 AM Eastern December 21
Partial eclipse ends 5:01 AM Eastern December 21

As the Moon appears to darken, it will actually turn a deep shade of red. The entire event lasts three-and-a-half hours. Within that, the period of totality is 72 minutes. If you live in North, South or Central America and have a clear sky, you can watch the entire event.

All the phases of a 28-day lunar cycle will be condensed into three-and-a-half hours. Beyond the Full Moon, 26,000 light years away, lies Galactic Center , the heart of the Milky Way. Gazing in this direction activates your cellular memory, awakening wisdom codes deep within your being.

The Sun enters Capricorn later that day (3:39 PM Eastern December 21), as lunar and solar energies bathe the Earth in divine love.

This is a Solstice to be remembered, a galactic initiation available to anyone open to receive it.

The December 21 lunar eclipse is paired with a New Moon Solar Eclipse on January 4. As the Sun and Moon meet in Capricorn, the new year begins.
The Potential
The ongoing galactic alignment in December and the 2009-2011 eclipses bring to completion millennia of spiritual darkness on Earth and mark the beginning of a new era of enlightenment, peace and prosperity. Our divine hearts are awakened.

Each year, the Sun appears to rise and set in the same place for three days surrounding the Solstice before turning south (or north, if you're in the Southern Hemisphere) for the next six months. Time seems to stand still, creating an extended moment of silence ideal for quiet reflection and review in preparation for the next cycle.

Timed within the Solstice gateway, the December 21 lunar eclipse expands the potential to infinity. The effects of prayer and meditation are magnified exponentially through this portal. Energetically, humanity is poised for a quantum evolutionary leap.

We're invited to step into our power as divine co-creators who will shape our destiny and craft a remarkable future for humanity and the Earth.
The Experience
Each of us needs to find our way through the maze of meaning within this rare alignment. Issues central to this experience will be:

- Addictions, the ways we numb ourselves and limit the actualization of our highest potential

- Emotional and physical healing

- Alignment with the soul, the cosmos and our deepest purpose

It might seem easier to ignore the vastness of this opportunity, yet the consequences of denial are far more devastating than facing the truth.

There are many ways to attune to the celestial frequencies to embed and direct the transformative effects of eclipses. My favorites include:

- Time in nature
- Communion with the planets and stars
- Healing work with exceptional practitioners
- Purification of body, mind (thoughts) and emotions
- Journaling
- Celebration with loved ones
- Creative activities (art, music, dance, drumming, chanting, etc.)
- Devotional practice (prayer, contemplation, meditation, drumming, chanting, etc.)

- Movement (yoga, t'ai chi, xi gong, walking, running, swimming, etc.)

- Eating foods that grow in and close to the Earth (especially root vegetables and dark, leafy greens) plus mineral supplementation
- Crafting intent
Ceremony is most potent in the hours before, during and after the eclipse alignments, and at sunrise and sunset during each day of the Solstice gateway. As the energies are building, then disseminating, our prayers expand and multiply.

I'd like to offer, for the benefit of all beings, a prayer that we might carry in our hearts through this eclipse passage.
A Solstice Prayer
Beginning now, I choose to walk in a new way on planet Earth, to attune to her as I remember cosmic truth and embody my divine purpose.

I forgive myself and others and open my heart to receive the infinite blessings of divine love flowing throughout the universe and coursing through my very veins.

As I attune to the Earth, the Moon, the planet and star beings in the heavens, I breathe with universal forces of creation. Divine Source enters me, filling the cells and spaces of my being with pure love and light. I am healed, whole, and renewed.

May I be gentle with myself and others as pain, fear and suffering are released. I bless all I encounter and embrace my fellow beings, all situations and circumstances, all thoughts, feelings and emotions, as reflections of my own divinity.

I joyfully claim my destiny as a force for positive change at this turning point in Earth's history. Together with my brothers and sisters, I will strive to shape the future in ways that serve humanity's highest evolution and fulfill the needs of generations yet to come. Aligned in truth, I am.

from Alison Rae.

Happy solstice and many blessings as we move forward into the new age,
Ellen

Energies of December 21st and beyond..fasten your seat belt!

Here is an update from Jose and Lena Stevens on what we can expect, and some additonal astrological information. Their site is www.thepowerpath.com.

Please join me on December 21st for a half hour tele-gathering and completion of the year energy work, at 1pm Mountain (3 pm Eastern), right in the "power window" time. Dial in to 1-712-432-1600 access 121233#. It's my gift to you and feel free to invite others.

Your planetary update:
HAPPY FULL MOON, WINTER SOLSTICE and TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE!

The Full Moon and Total Lunar Eclipse is at 1:13 AM Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, December 21. The Eclipse should be visible in North and South America after midnight. Winter Solstice is exact at 4:39 PM Mountain Standard Time on the same day. Needless to say, this is an extremely powerful day especially the time frame between the eclipse/full moon and the solstice, setting the stage for the next period of time. It is imperative that you stay away from any situations where conflict, violence, argument or disagreement is anywhere present. Keep your energy focused and clean. If you have your ducks in a row and have managed to maintain balance and focus, you could experience a higher centered breakthrough with a lot of insights, clarity, intention and a great sense of rightness to your life and direction.

If not, you could be in for a breakdown. Breakdowns will happen in the aftermath of this day and will affect anything that should have been dealt with beforehand. Make sure to do something special to honor this day, set your intentions, write your wish lists and treat this solstice as the true beginning of a new year. If you are still dealing with situations that do not have closure, do something symbolic such as a burning ceremony around the issues to acknowledge your intention of completion. Come from gratitude in your communications and interactions.

Blessings,

Lena

Additional Astrological Notes: Written by Patricia Liles. Contact her PATLILES@AOL.COM

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Gemini
Sun in Sagittarius 29º/Full Moon in Gemini 29º
1:13 AM MST, Tuesday, December 21, 2010
Visible in North and South America after midnight
Winter Solstice - Sun enters Capricorn - 0º
4:39 PM MST, Tuesday, December 21, 2010

Overview of astrological aspects of the next few weeks:
12-30-10 Mercury goes Direct 12:21 AM MST
01-04-11 New Moon in Capricorn/Partial Solar Eclipse 13º 2:03 AM MST
01-19-11 Full Moon in Cancer - 29º 2:22 PM MST
Fourth of five full moons at last degree of the sign.

What does all this mean to you and me?

Herald the Rebirth of the New Year! The Sun has completed the nadir of its journey and is now renewed and reborn as it crosses the Winter Solstice point (Summer Solstice for Southern Hemisphere folks) and enters the first degree of Capricorn. The sacred point of rebirth - one of the four major astrological power points of the year along with the equinoxes and the summer solstice. We enter the domain of the Raven and ask this crafty ally to gift us as it goes into the dark and brings forth the light.

If you want to read the influences of the year, you look to the Winter Solstice chart, the longest night and shortest day. At this solstice time, the Sun enters Capricorn, the cardinal (initiating) earth sign ruled by serious, orderly Saturn - Lord of Time. The planets are aligning auspiciously on this particular solstice with the torch of a Full Moon illuminating the solstice just 15 hours before, powerfully intensifying the influences that present themselves for our examination and reflecting the upcoming year.

What is most prominent in the solstice chart? Well, there is a Grand Square aka Grand Cross involving the exact conjunction of asteroid Pallas Athena and the Sun at 0º Capricorn, square asteroid Juno, square Jupiter conjunct Uranus in late Pisces, and square South Node conjunct Moon in Cancer. A multitude of squares and oppositions abound here noted for their dynamic, tension-causing influences. Energy will move under this configuration as we are forced to make choices in the areas that these planets and asteroids rule. What will these configurations bring us in the way of influences?

The planets, except for Moon and Venus, are masculine in nature and the major asteroids (Ceres, Juno, Pallas Athena, & Vesta) bring in the feminine influences. These feminine influences have a most prominent place in this chart especially Athena and Juno with Ceres aiding with benevolent energy to unlock the tight Grand Cross. Athena exactly conjunct the powerful, waking Sun at 0º Capricorn, rules three major areas - social justice, artistic energy and creative inspiration and intelligence. Remember, she sprang full grown from her Father's head. In the sign of Capricorn, she brings in the influences of form and structure. Healing the skeleton and teeth (form & structure) using modalities such as chiropractic, cranial-sacral work, deep tissue massage that breaks through resistance and old patterns is useful.

For more about Athena and the other influences, stay tuned for the next installment...

What's happening? Couldn't have said it better myself!

Hi, this was passed on to my by an intuitive healer here in Santa Fe. I could almost have written this..it so reflects my own experience. Here we go! May you find some ideas here that are useful, supportive and relevant.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the New Year.

Many blessings,
Ellen
***************************************************
November left us for dead.

If you have been feeling like you are suddenly back at the very beginning of your journey again, experiencing the same situations/sicknesses/emotional entanglements/financial hardships/etc,take heed.

Some heavy goo has been kicked up the last 40 days and 40 nights… and if you were as deep in it as I was, no doubt you spent most of those on your back (all I can say is…thank gawd for the new season of Housewives...and all other mindless Bravo brain fodder).

From the very end of October and thru the entire month of November we endured such a legendary disconnect period that for the first time ever, I was not sure if I would still be writing these updates when we emerged on the other side. I mean, we have certainly plowed thru p l e n t y of void periods over the last decade or so, but November brought the whole concept next level…to the point that I was unable to hear, feel, think, sense or intuit anything outside of my physical reality…which was also very bleak, mind you. It was like the universe just dropped us off in the middle of the forest..left us to our own human devices without a pack of matches, a GPS or a US weekly.

Personally, I was reduced to a toddler-like-state with a month long temper tantrum…vacillating between flipping off the forces that be, and quivering in my pillow to the tune of: "I want my mommy". If I didn't have abandonment issues prior to ascension, I definitely do now. My extreme child-like resistance to this punishment...a month without a purpose…was completely laughable to anyone who witnessed me, but soooooo not funny. I just could not get away from myself…everywhere I went, there I was.

In a word…brutal. In two words…upyoursmuthafatha god.

Luckily, since the new moon last Sunday, there is a very different vibe slowly leaking into the earth plane and we are reconnecting again while adjusting to this new space we are now inhabiting...albeit a little lighter. Well, still fat, but with less emotional encumbrances.

The Disconnect - So what gives?

First of all, I had to call in the big guns for back-up this time around, otherwise I would have never gotten this update out...so this blogcast is officially brought to you by three separate sponsors: the Andromedan Collective, the Pleiadian High Council and the Spiritual Hierarchy.

I needed all the help I could get to make some sense of the nightmare we just lived through and from what I can gather, (if you weren't forced to push the eject button) November offered us two things :

1) An emotional upgrade…the loss of more of our ego-created selves so that we can inhabit more of our authentic self and live directly from the heart. Loss = mourning, so if you spent the last month crying over spilled milk, welcome to the hormonally imbalanced. We are mourning the loss of more outdated aspects of ourselves (those things that we thought we would be, do or have in this lifetime, but didn't) which of course can also create a fleeting identity crisis leaving us vulnerable and skinless…pervious to all lower forms of energy and feeling as though we have no protection from societal forces of harshness. We are slowly coming out of a very inward period where even getting the mail may have felt like torture.

This sloughing-off included everything from releasing played-out relationships & responsibilities to shedding more preconceived ideas of who we thought we were and what we thought we were here to contribute... and everything in between. The reconnection of this higher level, heart-based intelligence required an extensive rewire and manifested as a zombie-like state, a complete lack of interest in living…not even so much an interest in dying, just an overwhelming indifference to life... and of course with a side dish of physical misery to boot.

This disconnect period may have surfaced in a myriad of ways for you but the most obvious symptom of the void is that it is difficult-to-impossible to feel good or connected to anything in any realm.

Some common side of effects are as follows: disinterest in our passions, purpose, potential, projects, creativity, all those things we normally enjoy, etc...the inability to connect to our higher guidance... financial hardship/sluggishness...lack of desire to care for/nurture our bodies/exercise/eat well (even the foods we eat seem tired and unappealing)…feeling constantly dissatisfied yet not knowing how to feel fulfilled/can manifest as hunger that won't go away even after a meal, unsatisfying sleep, etc…wanting/needing to be alone and feeling relentlessly fatigued.

These periods are some of the most difficult to navigate on the ascension journey, but the undeniable truth is, they eventually and always bring us to a higher and better-feeling place. Even when we don't think we will survive it, and we have absolutely convinced ourselves that we are completely delusional and that nothing good will ever come of sacrificing a decade or two of our lives …something beautiful and amazing always pops thru…and just in the nick of time.

2) On a physical level, we have been undergoing some MASSIVE etheric reconstructive brain surgery…some of which is still "bleeding" into December and will not be complete until the beginning of January as we find our new footing and try to make sense of this new reality we are adjusting our focus to. If you have been experiencing a literal inability to focus or make cognitive sense of things (what I call left-brain dead), or an unusual amount of spinning/dizziness/vertigo/loss of balance/eye issues/burning, itching & watery eyes/spaciness and/or sinus headaches & migraines...most likely its related to this upgrade.

This extensive brain rewiring manifested as the result of joining polarized spiritual forces within the 6th and 7th chakras (pituitary/pineal glands)... the blending of the divine feminine and masculine energies that are fully responsible for our entrance and focus (hence vision issues) into galactic consciousness via the higher mind. The Andromedans reassure us that this recalibration period was quite an extraordinary event, and one that completes the release from karmic re-creation…the universally heralded and perceptual "shift of the ages".

As we reorient ourselves to the new timeline and our physical bodies begin to harmonize with the new frequencies, we will begin to see, feel, and experience new dimensional patterns based in a higher reality construct. The secrets once hidden from our mortal sight will become available to us and our vision will become keener... our perceptions, more profound.

In other words, the shift from November to January is a deeply physical one and is resulting in our reconnection to unity consciousness and divine love. In fact, I am told that November was primarily a biological restructuring period and one that required us to be completely unplugged from our current level of consciousness so that we could be reoriented to the new timeline.

Make no mistake…this recent disconnect was the mother-load of all disconnects. If your wheels came off like mine did, its simply because its time for a new set.


The Reconnect

After a disconnect period, there is always a reconnect period…albeit to a higher level/frequency…which is what we are in the process of assimilating to now. Though technically we are still between worlds, the Pleiadians share that as a result of this recent reconnection, those who partake in and are aligned with the divine developments on earth will experience a great shift in mind, body and spirit…a harmonizing shift that will offer us the ability to further stabilize ourselves in the increasing frequencies, to maintain equilibrium in our cells, and to consciously coexist with our brothers and sisters of divine heritage as reconnected galactic humans in 2011.

As always there is an adjustment period (aka, pain) required to bring our lower bodies into alignment with our higher self because we are now vibrating at a much higher rate and our cells still need time to adjust. The month of December will definitely be a time to re-harmonize...an intense period of assimilating to the latest download so we are fully prepared to exercise our gifts and potential in the new timeline. That said, there is also a period of activity surfacing that will enable us to finish up details and actualize year-end goals as well as some new and aligned opportunities that may arise, compliments of the next 6 weeks of powerful galactic, astrological and celestial forces.

"We would like to welcome you to this new level of human existence, we are beyond delighted to greet you here. What you have been accustomed to experiencing prior to this dimensional shift is far from what you will be able to experience now. Look for big changes in your inner and outer world…the macro and the micro." -Pleiadian High Council

The Pleiadians also mention that our merkaba is changing.. the sacred geometric vehicles that house and transport our consciousness are rapidly increasing in spin and morphing into a new geometric construct which will support and enable our participation with ascended living. These changes are also responsible for our recently skewed depth perception and inability to focus from a particular point of reference. (aka, brain scramble) This is nothing to be concerned about, we are simply rising up, bumping against a dimensional ceiling in an attempt to break thru to a higher altitude which can of course cause feelings of confusion, lightheadedness, ungroundedness and dizziness.

Lastly, I am hearing that when the reconnection is complete, many of us will be shedding our old spirit guides/soul-team members who so fervently helped us along the way…more aptly stated, we are becoming these future versions of ourselves that once guided us here, and as a result, we will now be mingling with many more who will be coming forth to work with us in this plane as new human AND spirit guides/mentors and teachers of the higher ways. Groovy.


What Next?

"There is a tide coming that is preparing to wash away all that is not in alignment with the new. This tide is offering each wayshower the full ability to step into unity consciousness and to take part in the planning and preparation period for the next and final stage of the planetary ascension" -Spiritual Hierarchy

From what I am being shown, December is a powerhouse month beginning with a Mercury retrograde period that started today, 12/10, and will be returning direct on the 30th. Shortly after we have the 12/12…the final galactic gateway portal of 2010 which is pushing us to complete all the spiritual lessons that the last 12 months scraped up for us. We also have a VERY powerful solstice on the 21st (when the sun closely aligns with the galactic center), and another famous eclipse sandwich….a full moon and total lunar eclipse on the same day as the solstice and a partial solar eclipse on January 4, 2011. Mixed in with that caffeinated cup of cosmic coffee are some major celestial & astrological happenings threatening to cauterize our past…whether we feel ready or not.

In general, this month will be another month of completion. In addition to the holidays, there is much to be accomplished in both our inner and outer worlds and December offers us the opportunity to take advantage of these supportive energies for endings if we are paying attention. The eclipse period beginning on 12/21 will offer us a major portal of expansion…what the Spiritual Hierarchy refer to as a "wormhole from the old to the new". "The illuminated energies from this (eclipse) portal will besiege those who choose to release themselves from the old and willfully embrace the new."

Like most months, I am being shown a combination of tiny bursts of forward movement, and longer periods of cellular integration, but this month there is a strong message coming thru for those who choose to exit their past via the eclipse portal…we are enthusiastically being reminded that we will not be able to carry any density with us to the other side, so this month is the final month to release emotional burdens and wrap up outworn affairs.

"As you walk forth into the month of December, you will be embraced by more loving energies, but you will also be called to complete many outworn tasks, behaviors, relationships, and activities that have held you bound. Realize that these next 6 weeks are a gift and will serve you well should you be willing to first let go and then fully open yourself to receiving. We cannot stress this enough... completion is the overriding energy of December with regard to your new beginnings." SH

I know I say this a lot, but our new beginnings will not commence until every last personal detail has been completed and finalized and all wayward elements from the past are wrapped up. In other words, we can't skip any steps…anything that we've forgotten, suppressed or ignored will come at us like a spider monkey this month, so be sure to take a good look around your life and see whats left to deal with because this is a sort of last chance offer to empty our proverbial chalice.

If it feels in any way like you are being pushed too far, its because you are…we will be pushed to a breaking point in those areas of our lives that we are not seeing clearly, areas that need a shift in perspective or deeper understanding in order for us to become unhinged. We are being stretched as far as we can possibly go so as to encourage (?) us to deal with every last lingering detail, to strip away every illusion/delusion we've honored along the way so that we can be as empty and as pure as possible before we fill ourselves up with the new. Even without our participation, we will be all-but-forced resolve and absolve it all with the celestial powerhouses lining up to clean our clocks, I mean slates.

My advice? Always better to go willingly & consciously.

These final labor pains of 2010 will continue to pulsate and push us forth into the new waves of unity consciousness…waves of creativity and bliss that undulate in increasing frequency in 2011. So know that from now until the eclipse period we are receiving this final call to separate ourselves from all that no longer serves us (limiting thoughts, situations, relationships, homes, careers, health issues, etc)..cuz come the eclipse sandwich, we will be sucked up and spit out by cosmic forces way beyond our control…vibrationally sifted and sorted...and landing in our new reality with the task of figuring out how the heck everything works in this as-yet-unknown-territory.

"The next two months in earth-time will be centered around love. The love quotient in each and every one of you has risen significantly and now that you are moving into the unity timeline, a dimension of oneness, you will be vibrationally eligible to receive all the blessings of love's grace." -SH


Physical Happenings

We have been rapidly and intensively changing on a cellular level, preparing our new human templates...which are meticulously designed to operate on the new timeline…for a very long time. These upgraded biology suits will hold more light and participate seamlessly with the new timeline. This is very exciting, however it also unfortunately means some physical discomfort.

The list of symptoms is long and varies as usual, but the most intense symptoms this time around (especially last month) seemed to manifest in the head/neck area.

As mentioned earlier, the pituitary/pineal activations created lots of dizziness/vertigo/loss of balance/vision problems/burning, itchy & watery eyes/spaciness and/or sinus headaches & migraines, stuffed/runny nose, post nasal drip, inability to focus, migraines, sinus headaches, fatigue, sleep changes (insomnia/deep sleeps…up at night, down during the day), night sweats, wild and vivid dreams, etc.

There were also those who experienced flu-like symptoms with lots of muscle aches, neck stiffness/pain, sore throat, mouth/teeth pain, clogged ears and tons of back pain (fluctuating between lower/upper/middle…sometimes all three).

We also experienced a major solar plexus (power) activation in the beginning of December which may have created temporary waves of stomach pains & digestion issues as well as the usual heart opening and grounding symptoms: heartburn/indigestion, soreness behind the heart, nausea, palpitations and rapid heart beat...lower back/leg aches, sharp shooting pains in rectum/tailbone area, sore ankles, legs and feet, intestinal clearings (candida/skin rashes/inflammations) etc.

We are going thru major and magnificent biological changes needed for our new life experiences so its very important to listen to what our body's are telling us….even if it is diametrically opposed to all we have been taught. Protein cravings are very common during major integrations, as well as periods of no appetite…or you may even need a random carb fix at 3am during one of those insomnia streaks.

When in doubt, nurture yourself like a pregnant woman… give your body what it wants/needs when you can and don't hold back…even & especially if that means 15 hours of sleep…per day.

Reporting to you for the last time this year…see you on the other side of that sandwich!

Wishing you and yours a sacred holiday season, and enough energy to survive it ; ))

Letting Go Movie party all of December!

"In the 21st century, letting go is not a luxury but a necessity."
That is a quote from Hale Dwoksin, head of Sedona Training Associates, and a principal teacher of the Sedona Method.

Almost every spiritual teacher or path tells us to "just let go", but how? The Sedona method shows you an amazingly simple way to do just that.

I have been working with the method since 2003 and completed a Level 1 Coach Training, as well as several 7 day retreats in Sedona with Hale. The method, or releasing as it is called, is a very handy thing to know, and if you do it regularly it will absolutely change your life.

I like to introduce the method to my clients in a half hour free coaching session. From there you can learn the method through audio courses, live courses and in other ways.

If you'd like to learn more about this simple but effective technique for de-stressing, relaxing into life and manifesting more easily, you can watch the "Letting Go" DVD free all through December.

here's the link, and let me know what you think!

http://www.lettinggo.tv/community

general information: www.sedonamethod.com

Here's to lightening up and going free, or as the originator of the method, Lester Levinson would say...becoming hootless!

Many blessings,
Ellen

December's Astrology: More joy from Mercury and other planets! What you can do

Three or four times a year, the planet Mercury goes retrograde. This has certain predictable effects, communication slows down, appointments have to rescheduled and then rescheduled again. And yet, each time we go through a retrograde there are different aspects and we are all impacted a little differently because of our personal astrology.

It can be frustrating and stressful if you are not aware of the retrograde and if you fight with the energy instead of rolling with it. That's why I offer a proxy or distance repatterning to help you align your energy and mindset for Mercury retrograde.

The final Mercury retrograde in 2010 runs from 12/10 to 12/30. My last Mercury retrograde session is tomorrow, Wednesday December 8th around 9pm Mountain, and the deadline to register is 7pm Eastern on December 8th.

Re-Defining Life Priorities: Mercury in Capricorn Retrograde Phase

Mercury retrograde will start on December 10th through December 30th so put a note in your daily planners. This Mercury Retrograde will happen at 6 degrees Capricorn and Mercury will shift back into the sign of Sagittarius when all is said and done by the end of December 2010.

Quick Overview About Mercury
In Astrology, the planet Mercury represents communication and information. It also symbolizes the linear thought process, mental attitudes, way in which you learn. and the way you consciously perceive reality. Approximately every 3 months, for approximately three weeks, Mercury appears to go “backwards” in the sky. The planets do not really go backwards. The ‘retrograde phase’ for any planet can be considered an ‘introspective’ phase. For Mercury retrograde, all forms of communication, short-term travels and information may encounter delays, obstacles and or disruption. The nature of the Mercury Retrograde phase is to allow the central nervous system to shift into non-linear states of Consciousness (similar to deep relaxation and meditation) and give the nervous system a much deserved break.

Mercury in Capricorn, December 2010:
During this phase, our attention will be on goals, and long-term plans as well as how you define things while. Capricorn symbolizes responsibility, wisdom and maturity. We must be “patient” and wise when taking an idea or theory and applying it in daily life to see if it is realistic or something needs to be revised. Mercury in Capricorn potentially can help us persevere for the long stretch to attain any and all goals we set, small or large. We must also learn to be flexible and initiate new ideas when we feel guided to.

Best Way to Prepare & Suggestions:
The suggestion is: to finish up Holiday shopping in advance, writing out cards and any other preparation ahead of time. Due to Mercury being retrograde during most of December, people may encounter more mental stress and strain with delays or snags in travel. It is best to value the quiet time and appreciate the fact that the things slowing down will ultimately help you if you have the understanding. Complete things that are left undone, projects, organizing, sorting out. Triple Check all appointment details. Add extra space between appointments and while traveling. Back up your important documents, files and pictures onto an external hard drive. Leave time to meditate, relax, dream and be in the non-linear space. Try not to force the mind to produce if you don’t have to. Wait to sign important documents or make major decisions until early January 2011. Wait to purchase “brand new” electronic items if possible (renewal is fine). Clear Away Clutter: old documents, paperwork, files & sort through the last 3 months. Renew commitments. Now is the time to review your thoughts, perceptions, words and actions to see if they are in alignment (Capricorn) with your goal(s).

Linking Up with Other Planets (The term Transits represents planets in the sky traveling through the signs currently.)

Mercury and Pluto Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn happens next to transiting Pluto in Capricorn. And may be felt intensely within the mental energy body and thought processes. It is possible, some news or information may be exposed or brought to the light of day for transformation and healing. People (or you) may feel the urge to revisit someone from the past, communicate or even bring up an old issue to resolve. It is best to be open and discuss things rather than clinging to the ‘right and wrong’ of the situation.

Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn invites us to be pragmatic in our thinking and be patient as we encounter challenges or delays. We are given opportunities to sort out and clean out the ‘mental closest’ so to speak. We may decide to make deep shifts in our perception about our lives. It is possible we may hear news about people transitioning (death) or loss as well as we may be saying goodbye to people in our lives whom we have grown apart with.

With Pluto’s symbolism closely connected to the Mercury Retrograde, we get to purge our mental attitudes and off balancing thinking. Whatever within the mind keeps us paralyzed or imprisoned we can reclaim our empowerment.

Triple Dose: Mars, Mercury Retrograde and Pluto in Capricorn
Transiting Mars in Capricorn links up with Pluto and Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn. This energy is strongly building momentum and intensity from about early December through December 16th. The potential is highly transformative energy ready to kick-start or kick ass and put something into motion.

It is possible someone or something comes back our lives with a different approach and we are presented with an intense encounter or news of some kind. Old issues that had gone “underground or been buried” may erupt, for confronting and healing now. Remember the key is; “what choice, words and actions will empower all involved?” It is best to be very patient and not take things too personally now. It’s also possible there may be miscommunications, agitations and possible combative encounters. Remind yourself that you can choose what role to play, one that is empowered and Soul-level (wisdom) or one that is ego/mind level fear based.

Mars/Pluto in Capricorn with a team like focus, stimulates deep desires on a physical level are possible, a desire to merge intimately or connect with another/loved one high. It may be helpful to channel the energy into physical outlets or organizing.

Possible Off-Balance Energy:
Mars/Pluto combination can be highly charged up in a good way or it can be volatile, eruptive and explosive. This combination is not to be taken lightly. Watch for manipulation, power struggles and control tactics generated from a place of fear and anxiety. If you allow these potent energies to build up without regular outlets there can be explosive outbursts, screaming matches, ego-power struggles, rage exploding as well as words (Mercury) being used as daggers. It is best to channel this energy into physical constructive outlets or projects.

Chop wood, carry water--forget the big picture!

Wow..can't believe I haven't posted anything here in almost a month. Wait--I take that back--I do believe it..it's been a long strange trip lately. For you too?

It has been such a roller coaster ride personally and professionally. Because I'm an empath and I work with the collective consciousness around prosperity and money, and because I'm human and living in the midst of these changes myself, I can't always tell how much of what I'm feeling
is even mine.

Sleep disturbances, mood swings out the wazoo...how much is my hormones, my resistance to making changes, and how much of this is triggered by planetary/global energy shifts? In addition, I live in Santa Fe, which, lovely as it is, is a crucible of transformation. Don't come here unless you are prepared to change, grow and let go as a way of life.

If you are wrestling with any of this yourself, or just wondering what the heck is really happening in the world...I'll tell you what I've come to lately: Stop trying to figure it out, and if the big picture is too confusing, frightening or de-energizing: let it go! Just focus on what's in front of you, do what is needed, what I call "Just in time" living.

The Japanese pioneered a system in manufacturing called "just in time" where the parts arrive just in time for when they are needed. In this new reality, we need to live that way..."Am I okay in this moment, can I trust the Universe that I will have what I need when I need it, can I focus on the all-rightness in the present moment."

The minute I go into the future or projecting about the past, I lose faith and trust and go into fear. Being a pragmatist, I say, of course we do need to make plans sometimes. But then, it's important to live moment to moment. Chop wood, carry water...too many unknowns, too many shifting uncertainties. Can you trust yourself, can you trust that others will be there to help, that it's going to be okay--even though we can't see how we will get there or how the Universe is going to deliver?

A friend and I spoke at EmbodyDance last night..about how our generation, and everyone really, are being asked to show up for each other, and to learn to trust each other, in ways we never have before.

Meantime, I do my best to find the joy in singing, dancing, nature and good companions. What simple things bring you peace, joy and heart connection?

Along those lines..a few words that may inspire you, courtesy of Rhea Goodman, host of a great radio show here in Santa Fe called "Living Juicy", check it out at KSFR Santa Fe, Monday nights, 101.1 FM or streaming via internet!

Life is short.
Break the rules,
forgive quickly,
kiss slowly,
love truly,
laugh uncontrollably,
and never regret anything
that made you smile.

Life may not be the party we hoped for,
but while we are here we should dance.


“Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.”
--Rumi


you must remember one thing.
the world was made to be free in.
give up all worlds except the one to which you belong.
anything or anyone that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Many blessings,
Ellen
