Photo by Mary Jane Kasliner

The energy combinations for today is considered a "Remove Day." This type of energy is best used to remove unwanted things in your life including thought processes and behavior. It's a perfect day to clean house, renovate and establish a new beginning by releasing what no longer serves you.

There is strong metal that influences the overall quality of how this day will unfold. Your actions, thoughts and words should come from a place of truth and justice today. Methodical thought processes bode best in any situation you encounter. Be prepared for things to contract within, especially when it comes to wrapping up business.

There is also a tendency to jump around from one project or idea to another today. Focus is your best friend if you actually want to complete the task at hand. If you work off a regimented list today you'll find things will work out the way you want them to.

Other Areas of Focus:

• The overall theme is career and long-term planning. See where you may need to make changes and move forward with them.
• Windfalls are likely when it comes to retreating and having down time. The result is clarity of mind and action.
• Networking and leadership role is essential on the job today.
• Rely on family and especially elders when it comes to resources and financial investment approach.
• Map out your immediate goals for the next week. Include your financial plans in this process for successful outcome.

Tip of the Day:

Do not wish to be someone else. Learn to be comfortable being yourself.

Om!

July Energy Forecast - Illumination - Clarity - Vision

The Journey Forward View this email in your browser July: Illumination - Clarity - Vision Welcome all!  Illumination - Clarity and Vision is the theme for the month of July. The combination of earth, double fire and wood provides a rich yet stable quality of energy that bodes well for creating a strong vision for your mission in life. The elements work together in a building process that requires a strong and stable base. Wrangling in your thoughts and working in a cohesive nature with others bodes well. In today's newsletter, I'll review the qualities of the energy combinations and the best way to navigate through them while having some fun in the process! Also enjoy links to helpful blog soundbites to tuck away for future reference. Elevate Your Consciousness! Mary Jane   Illumination - Clarity - Vision: This month the 9 fire illumination element takes front and center. Fire greets fire in the month of July through the summer cycle and the hidden stem of the Sheep archetype. The assistance to fire brightens the light or portal to the crown chakra - the point of illumination or enlightenment. Nothing can be hidden from the light, so whatever it is you are working on, it is time to share it with others. The Sheep archetype supports  partnering energy. You can accomplish more with the assistance of others, rather than taking it on yourself. It is important to work with the energy of fire in a way that fuels stability -a sense of feeling grounded, otherwise you will burnout and it will take double the effort to move forward. The 9 fire trigram (Li), is yin or receptive in nature. It is closely associated with the ida channel and therefore is best utilized by slowing the pace, getting quiet to create a lightness of consciousness, or what is known as the guna - Sattva. Think of it as the center of the Tai Chi where yin and yang meet for perfect balance. Now, easier said than done, as 9 Li or fire chi has a "get up and go" type of quality. To add fuel to the flame, there is the hidden stem of wood found within the Sheep branch this month that will really catapult overactivity. Balancing the action with inaction is the key to working with fire to leave behind the ash so the earth or stability can propagate. Putting the Three Together: Wood is the element of creating. It is like the quality of Rajas - the Guna of movement and action or creation. Since this element shows up as a hidden stem in the Sheep branch, it is shielded or hidden behind the veil. Therefore, it may require a little work to get things in motion when it comes to developing a project, idea or new work venture. The fire trigram (9-Li) combined with the hidden stem of fire in the Sheep branch will shed light on things you may have been pondering. This includes new direction of your goals and soul's mission. Clarity or illumination is the benefit we can all draw from with such rich light. To further enhance your vision, include inversions in your yoga practice to activate the petals of the crown. Follow through with grounding or standing poses to stabilize and capture the earth or main quality element in the Sheep. We can't always be up in the clouds, we have to ground down through our feet and absorb the earth frequencies. If yoga isn't part of your routine, simply spend more time outdoors to absorb the earth chi through your feet and heavenly chi through the top of your head. Doing all this while sitting under a tree will activate the refined wood chi. The trees are the place of knowledge or study, as we sit beneath their canopy that rises towards the light of the sun.   Environment:  The 9 Fire star represents the south portent of your environment. Here are a few pointers for this direction: Add a strong wood feature such as a healthy flowing plant to represent growing knowledge for your soul's path.   Incorporate columnar or pointed-triangular shapes. Keep the quality of 3's or the triad here. Add bright lighting, candles or oil diffuser. Images of fire such as the sun, people, animals or a representation of your soul's path - what makes your heart sing.    Foods: 9 - Fire element prefers wood and fire foods such as green vegetables, citrus, nuts, seeds, potatoes, buckwheat and rice.  Other Areas of Concern: When nine-fire is the highlight trigram for the month, the remaining trigrams move to different positions. On a very basic level, we are able to see how other aspects of our life take on this moving energy. Here are some things to consider:     When it comes to family this month fun and creativity is the name of the game. Think about venturing out to a lake as the trigram that moves to this portent represents the lake that surrounds the mountain. Serenity is the result. Wealth and finances are a natural resource. There is plenty to gather and enjoy. Real estate is also a big quality to this trigram, so if you own it, enhance it! Leisure reading and some research is beneficial to build on goals and direction you are thinking about taking. Travel with partner this month. Even if it is a short trip, it is fabulous for relationship. Potential opportunity arises but requires a long-term strategy. Take time to get introspective to seek answers to question that you may have. Don't take on anything new when it comes to career this month as the energy is a bit chaotic - Murphy's Law principle. Best to go slow and steady and be methodical! Yoga Poses: Helpful poses for the Fire trigram this month are as follows: Sun salutations Inversions Plank Boat Balancing Poses These will all help to arouse the crown portal and the manipura - the seat of opening powerful intention and open heavens gate.   Take time to check out my blog posts! bodyspacealignment.blogspot.com fengshuihealthydesigns.blogspot.com     Enjoy my Breathing Wealth Video!

Clear the Path To Your Heart

From the book Journey to the Heart, Melody Beattie talks about clearing the path to your heart. In her discussion, she points out the importance of feeling the full range of emotions, reactions and responses to the life line the pathway to the heart. We need to feel them all - the angler, hurt, sadness, irritations - in order to feel joy. Everything in the universe works on the premise of opposites and a balance between these opposites is what brings a level of light consciousness. 

If the tendency is to block out the hurts and unpleasant feelings, we end up blocking the pathway to the heart. All our emotions are important; all need to be recognized. The energy of each needs to be acknowledged and then released. This clears the pathway for love.

Trust your emotions. All of them.

You're not off path. They lead to the path you are seeking. 

They are the journey to the heart. Let them flow freely.

And as sure as Old Faithful, your heart

will come gleaming, shining through.

Take some time today to practice heart opening poses such as bridge, wheel, camel or hero pose. This will move the energy freely to the heart!

Om!

Friday Energy Forecast

Energy combinations for today bode well for starting something new. It's a day best used in order to ensure the right start on the right foot. There is plenty of support to make decisions and any necessary changes that may need to be implemented. However, it behooves you to write out a step-by-step list of what you need to cover for things to unfold smoothly. Otherwise, you will most likely have to repeat steps in the process. There is a tendency for focus to wane during the afternoon hours. You'll be thinking more about starting your weekend rather than taking care of loose ends. Resist the urge to scatter your energy and remain committed to the work at hand.

There are some amazing double combinations in the LoShu chart today that you can take advantage of. Here are areas where you can incorporate your focus:

• Family resources are tremendous. Elders can offer excellent advice that will assist in financial position.
• Keep the lines of communication open. Just as the wind blows, there is plenty of information and ideas that can contribute to future assets and goals.
• Be mindful later in the day if you are planning on adventurous activity as the energy is extremely active and can result in injury.
• Look for mentor/leader in your profession that can offer good advice for long-term strategy in career.
• Be mindful of networking interactions today. The energy is rather tough so don't plan on seeing eye-to-eye.
• Things may get chaotic when it comes to your goal strategy today. Marketing plan could hit a brick wall. Best to wait on any movement in that area.

Enjoy Your Day!

What's in Motion for Today?

Japanese Gardens Oregon

What's in motion for today? When it comes to the energy combinations this is a day of abundance! It is a great day to focus attention on activities and endeavors where more is ideal.

The element of fire is exceptionally strong for the first part of the day. Take advantage of making a public appearance or revamping your marketing approach. The more you can get in front of people today, the better when it comes to achieving your goals. If you are uncertain about what your goals are, then spend time this morning working through the details.

The afternoon hours are busier pulling your energy in different directions. It will be important to stick to a plan otherwise your attention will scatter resulting in less productivity. Remain grounded by taking pause with a brief meditation. If you can fit in a yoga class, even better yet. This is important otherwise you'll feel as though you are hitting a brick wall.

Other Areas of Focus:

• Reading and research is part of the overall pattern today. This may be required to successfully meet your goals for the day.
• Good networking possibilities today, but likely to occur in a social setting. Perhaps on the golf course, over lunch, dinner or cocktails.
• Consider partner when discussing long-term career goals, as the input you will receive is beneficial.
• Resources are easily attainable through proper marketing themes.
• Windfalls are possible from new business venture. Just be mindful of legal parameters.
• Land or home real estate is on a high today. If you are selling property, look to close the deal today.

Managing Your Spaces

My mother would always say: "Everything in moderation." That's pretty much what the Tai Chi symbol represents - a moderation between the two poles, yin and yang. This is a good approach to take when managing your spaces. I know from working with many clients that our environments can become overwhelming. Here is a quick reference list that can help keep things balanced.

1. Clear out your clutter. Sorting through wardrobes, drawers and cabinets and throwing out all that accumulated stuff will allow the things you need and treasure to breathe. Better yet, you'll know there is order even in the hidden places.

2. Visit the local dump about twice a year to get rid of those bulky objects that are an eyesore every time you catch sight of them. When you finish the job make sure you take some time to chill out and relax - maybe a walk in the park, a yoga class or a picnic.

3. Give to a consignment shop or thrift store. This is a great way to give back to the community while releasing what no longer serves a purpose for you. It also follows the law of karma - selfless acts that flow good things your way.

4. Recycle. It is rather shocking the amount of waste that we produce. It stresses the planet and disrupts our links with nature. Recycle everything you can. In the process, you will recycle your thinking patterns.

5. Get through your backlog of chores. Try starting early in the morning and moving through all the chores you have put off. Take a short break for lunch and continue moving through the process. You'll feel great when you are done and any downtime from this point onward will feel doubly relaxing.

6. Change up the chores around the house by rotating with your partner or children. You might just find a fresh eye brought to regular household routines that will reveal efficiency and joy.

7. Rearrange the furniture. Experiment with new circulation routes. Break the grip of habit upon your domestic surroundings. You'll be amazed how different things will look and feel. It will give you a  new perspective on life.

8. Clean your windows. Smears and other marks on glass may seem trivial, but they interpose themselves between you and the outside world. The windows are considered the eyes of the home and the eyes are the windows to the soul.

Enjoy managing your spaces!
