Decoding Solar Returns – Cathryn Hunter

JKP_1281smThe collective’s New Year is an ideal time to discuss the Solar Return, or one’s personal New Year; the day the Sun returns to the original degree and minute of one’s birth. It can be the day before one’s birthday, the day of, or the day after. This is your true personal New Year. Liz Greene, Jungian Psychologist and Astrologer, refers to the Solar Return as a powerful energy impulse into our personal chart, “Today is the day of new beginnings, and the influences will be in effect for the entire year to come.” It is said that 88% if all New Year’s resolutions fail. From my perspective it is due to the fact that on this day, there is no particular individual solar support that impacts one’s particular chart (unless you are born January1). With that in mind, the most effective time to set intentions or make resolutions, would be on your birthday, the day of your Solar Return, your true New Year, when you have energetic assistance helping you co create your year ahead. So, every year, on or near your birthday, you experience a Solar Return, which activates a chart that holds influence for a year. Keep in mind, your SR chart will change by where you are geographically at that time; just as two people born at the same day and time, yet in different places, will have entirely different charts. I view the SR chart as a thread in your astrological tapestry. The foundational thread is the chart you were born with, which represents your patterns, talents, potentials. As time goes on the threads of the transits, progressions, eclipses, and planetary returns, are woven into your fabric. So although the SR is weighty, it is a part of the whole. While the influence of the SR is pivotal, one must be mindful of an attitude of reductionism, which is, isolating the power of the SR, and not honoring the entire astrological terrain. My position is one of inclusivity, that is, all astrological dynamics are factors in what unfolds in your year. Consider the image of a scale as our astrological terrain. Imagine the scale tipping to one side in challenging cycles. The SR can be a tool in bringing the scale back to balance, or even tip it to the positive side, giving welcomed support through these challenges. By traveling to a destination that is supportive astrologically for your SR birthday New Year, you utilize a tool that can contribute to a helpful influence for the year. Whether or not one stays home or takes a SR trip, the most successful Solar Returns are the ones where one is an active participant with the energy of the chart. It is said that there is relationship between inner and outer, what is “in here is out there”, in other words, within us we create our outer world. The SR is more than a symbol of planets arranged in certain order. To realize the potential of a SR, the goal should be work with its possibilities, and throughout the year consistently attune to the energy and give attention to the opportunity reflected by the chart of the Solar Return; in doing so work toward, realize, and create the goal in your outer world. Consider the Solar Return a planetary MAP that when one participates, takes the road created, increases the power of the return. soldes coque iphone Solar Return trips are not for magical thinkers or those looking for an easy way to reach a certain end. coque iphone pas cher For instance, no Solar Return will improve one’s health if one doesn’t follow through with good health habits. coque iphone en ligne No Solar Return will offset one’s negative patterns and self defeating ways which operate to hold one back. No Solar Return will function against the themes in the natal chart. coque iphone xs max For instance, if a natal chart does not hold the promise of fame, no Solar Return will be able to deliver that. Those of us who do SR will still experience the challenges of life. In my regular sessions, based on where you tell me you were at that time, I will comment on your SR, along with other astrological factors, as a part of your session. coque iphone Additionally, I have clients who ask me to find a birthday SR destination ahead of time, which creates a supportive SR chart for the upcoming year. (This is separate from regular sessions.) If one cannot travel for ones SR, one should always be mindful of the time of your Solar Return. coque iphone 2019 pas cher In my Yearly Forecast Sessions, whether or not you ask me to find a Solar Return destination for you, I will always give you your Solar Return day and time for the place you plan to be. This time is wisely used in the same rituals that are regularly performed at the collective New Year, that is, meditation, journaling, goal setting, and visualizing what you desire to accomplish.

Jei Atacama – Oriental Medicine

ImageI am Jei Atacama. coque iphone I come from a family of many generations of practitioners of Oriental Medicine in Japan. soldes coque iphone Since I became aware of yet another level of intelligence in myself, which I refer to as LIFE, I have developed the ability to heal myself and others by awakening/increasing life. coque iphone I define life as an intelligence of self creation. coque iphone soldes I have it; everybody has it. coque iphone xs max Or, maybe I should say; I am life, everybody is life. However, that level of intelligence is mostly asleep in everybody, which explains why our self healing ability is limited. vente de coque iphone With the awakening of life in me all medicines became obsolete for myself — my awakened life’s intelligence of self creation heals whatever conditions (illnesses and diseases) I may have accumulated and their symptoms. This has been the case on myself and my clients since November of 1995. Through my awakened LIFE I am grateful to be able to heal myself and help solve my own life problems, and to do the same for my clients. To begin our work to heal and to solve together, please make an appointment (212-744-3270) for a private session, to experience LIFE I am talking about, and to discuss your personal case and course of healing.

Video: Epigenetics – Nature vs. Nurture in Cancer Research

Once nurture seemed clearly distinct from nature. Now it appears that our diets and lifestyles can change the expression of our genes. coque iphone 6 How? By influencing a network of chemical switches within our cells collectively known as the epigenome. This new understanding may lead us to potent new medical therapies. vente de coque iphone Epigenetic cancer therapy, for one, already seems to be yielding promising results.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/epigenetics.html In biology, and specifically genetics, epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene activity that are not caused by changes in the DNA sequence; it also can be used to describe the study of stable, long-term alterations in the transcriptional potential of a cell that are not necessarily heritable. Unlike simple genetics based on changes to the DNA sequence (the genotype), the changes in gene expression or cellular phenotype of epigenetics have other causes, thus use of the term epi- (Greek: επί- over, outside of, around) -genetics. The term also refers to the changes themselves: functionally relevant changes to the genome that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence. coqueiphone Examples of mechanisms that produce such changes are DNA methylation and histone modification, each of which alters how genes are expressed without altering the underlying DNA sequence. coque iphone Gene expression can be controlled through the action of repressor proteins that attach to silencer regions of the DNA. coque iphone These epigenetic changes may last through cell divisions for the duration of the cell’s life, and may also last for multiple generations even though they do not involve changes in the underlying DNA sequence of the organism; instead, non-genetic factors cause the organism’s genes to behave (or “express themselves”) differently. (There are objections to the use of the term epigenetic to describe chemical modification of histone, since it remains unclear whether or not histone modifications are heritable.) One example of an epigenetic change in eukaryotic biology is the process of cellular differentiation. During morphogenesis, totipotent stem cells become the various pluripotent cell lines of the embryo, which in turn become fully differentiated cells. In other words, as a single fertilized egg cell – the zygote – continues to divide, the resulting daughter cells change into all the different cell types in an organism, including neurons, muscle cells, epithelium, endothelium of blood vessels, etc., by activating some genes while inhibiting the expression of others. In 2011, it was demonstrated that the methylation of mRNA plays a critical role in human energy homeostasis. The obesity-associated FTO gene is shown to be able to demethylate N6-methyladenosine in RNA.

Kriya Yoga – Speed Up Your Path to Enlightenment

Most of us go to our local yoga class, sweat as we hold a few poses, say a few ‘Ohms’ and feel more grounded and calm. Truth is, we have been taught little about the true spiritual nature of the yogic practice itself. Yoga has been done for centuries as a way to connect to the Gods and Universe – Enlightenment – with the ultimate goal being to leave our physical body behind and transcend in our spiritual form. Kriya Yoga is practiced to speed up your spiritual evolution. Devout disciples believe that it holds the key to true enlightenment. Through years of dedicated practice and study their ultimate goal is spiritual rebirth. coque iphone x In Sanskrit, Kriya means ‘action’. A transformative state. Kriya Yoga became widely known in a book written by Paramhansa Yogananda: Autobiography of a Yogi. Intensive study of Kriya with a Guru is thought to have the potential to lead one to a second, conscious rebirth. But in order to do this, you must leave everything your mind controls in your previous spiritual life behind and devote yourself to God, and your yogic practice. soldes coque iphone Kriya yoga directs life energy to revolve, upward and downward around the six spinal centers which correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac. It was first made In another book, Conversations with Yogananda, Paramhansa Yogananda he writes: “You can be in a room twenty years, trying to get out through the walls, the ceiling, the floor. It is when you finally discover the door that you find your way out. coque iphone That’s how it is with the soul. The average devotee may struggle his whole life trying to escape the bodily limitations by unscientific means, and by the paths only of devotion or discrimination. By Kriya Yoga, however, if he is sincere, he can escape quickly. coque iphone pas cher Kriya Yoga takes one to God by the universal highway: the spine.”
 Those who don’t want this extreme of a journey can still find a connection with the Kriya way of life – it’s just on a less intense level. For anyone serious about this journey – it’s a must that you have a guide. A Guru. soldes coque iphone pas cher The Swami Kriyananda says: “… to take up Kriya Yoga signifies entering seriously onto the path to God. It is not a game, and should certainly be treated as a lifetime commitment… a very sacred step in one’s life. “ You can start on your path for a greater connection and higher purpose driven life with a Guru and take baby steps towards what you feel comfortable with. coque iphone By: Sara E.

Science Says: Meditation Can Change Your Brain

Chasing your thoughts around all day long can be exhausting and stressful. coque iphone 2019 soldes Feeling controlled by your emotions instead of the other way around? Harvard Neuroscientists have proven that daily meditation can change the physical makeup of your brain and thus your thought patterns in a real way. Having a restless, stressed out mind is a symptom of our general human condition. vente de coque iphone But when meditation is proposed as a way to fix it – we balk. How could that work? What good could it really do, scientifically? Turns out – a lot. A recent Harvard study has proven that meditation can in fact change our brain matter in a highly beneficial way. It can alter the size of key regions, improving our memory and making us more empathetic, compassionate, and resilient under stress. The study took two groups – one daily meditators and the other not — and compared their regions of the brain and the gray matter within. After only 8 weeks of meditation practice, indeed the brain scans show noticeable changes. Magnetic resonance images (MRI scans) of everyone’s brains were taken before and after they completed the meditation training, and a control group of people who didn’t do any meditation also had their brains scanned. coque iphone After completing the meditation course, all participants reported significant improvement in measures of mindfulness, such as “acting with awareness” and “non-judging.” Even more enlightening was that the MRI scans showed changes in the brain’s ‘ gray matter’ (the regions of the brain involved in muscle control and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control). coque iphone 2019 The meditating groups increased gray matter concentration within the brain regions involved in learning and memory, emotion regulation, sense of self, and perspective analysis. The data concludes that meditation benefits those suffering from psychological issues such as depression, anxiety disorders and insomnia. But even more promising – it can improve your overall quality of life. Dr. coque iphone Sara Lazar, part of the Harvard study, states: “Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day.” How this happens has to do with the brain and its ‘neuroplasticity’, which is the ability neurons have to change they way they talk to each other with differing experiences. The messages the neurons send began to change when a daily meditation practice started. Britta Hölzel, the lead author on the paper states: “It is fascinating to see the brain’s plasticity and that, by practicing meditation, we can play an active role in changing the brain and can increase our well-being and quality of life.” Another Harvard alum, Dr. John Denninger, is leading a 5-year study that builds on these findings and takes them one step further to the body as well and how meditation can affect genes and brain activity in the chronically stressed. His latest work follows a study he and others published earlier this year showing how so-called mind-body techniques can switch on and off some genes linked to stress and immune function. soldes coque iphone 2019 “There is a true biological effect,” said Denninger. “The kinds of things that happen when you meditate do have effects throughout the body, not just in the brain.” In other words – meditation equals a win/win for us all.

Wishing You A Happily Ever After – Char Margolis

Imagine your life is a play. You are the star of the show. coque iphone 6 You are also the director looking down and watching all the characters and experiences that unfold In your world. Since only some things in life are predestined, the choices that you and others around you make build the story of your life. coque iphone xr You also have the ability to help rewrite the script. I have been traveling a lot meeting people for private sessions. It is a joy to read for everyone and a bonus to meet you in person! No matter if I am in America, Canada, The Netherlands or South Africa (thank you for my recent amazing adventure, and warm welcome) I find that there is an overall theme of lessons that weaves through all of our story lines. First is self love, another is dealing with loss. The loss of a loved one who has crossed over and the loss of a relationship where both parties are still alive on the earth plane. Those of us that believe in the spirit world and the world of energy seem to be more sensitive to other people’s feelings. coque iphone 6 They are the givers in life. Sometimes generous to a fault. The first true love is self love. It doesn’t mean you are selfish. It means that your needs matter! When you go on an airplane and the safety instructions are given, they always say in case of an emergency put your oxygen mask on before helping others. I recently read for the most wonderful group of ladies in South Africa. None of them knew one another before the meeting.They were lovely! In most all my groups the people who are suppose to be there attend. In fact, it’s like the guides use divine intervention in choosing the group and most always there is so much more of a connection between them than just the readings they get. One of the girls, a beautiful woman, had a husband who was emotionally and psychologically abusive. He controls everyone with his money, including their only child. In fact, this dysfunctional #%^#* (bleep) is ganging up against his wife with the teenage daughter like the mean girls in high school. When someone puts you down enough times, you begin to believe it. Over forty years ago I was married for a short time. A radio station wanted to interview me. I was so excited to share my new found purpose and ability to help people. I called him after the interview so wanting his approval and he said “I wasn’t impressed. You should go back to speech school”. I finally got tired of this a few years later and we divorced. coque iphone It took time to build up myself esteem. It will take time for her as well but I know she will succeed! There was a young 20 year old girl in the same group. She has experienced more loss in her young life than most in midlife. I saw her mother in spirit Who suffered from cancer. coqueiphone She had passed some years ago way before her time! There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. I think all the women in the room wanted to adopt her. The woman I just wrote about said, “I think I knew your mom”. Indeed! They figured it out and she knew her! They are going to go out for lunch. This young girl who had other great premature losses also exuded an amazing strength of faith. An old soul in a young body teaching each one of us a lesson in coping with great loss. By the time they left, emails and phone numbers were being exchanged. After one morning, 7 strangers had become 7 friends. I ask you to think about your life. The choices you make. Do you come from a place of strength or weakness? Do you embrace your self love? Do you cope with loss with faith or do you become a victim? You have control of the pen on paper. Make sure you direct the scenes of your life with wisdom and care. Wishing you a happily ever after! Write on…
