Tremendous change is upon us. In this shifting change to higher consciousness--"light" is fighting against low consciousness--"darkness", old ways, old paradigms and systems which no longer work serve our highest good.

Together, when we stand united in Love, Compassion Action, Tolerance and the Beauty of All we create Light for Ourselves, our Neighborhood, our Cities, our Country, our World, and Universes beyond.

Please join me in spreading the power of Light & Compassion everywhere we go in this Season of Giving!

Happy Holidays!

Thought for the Day: Inspirational Wisdom

Henry Miller wrote, “One’s destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.”

A Message from the Angels

PERCEPTION

"I honor another's truth but stand firm within my own. I am comfortable with who I am. I keep an open heart and mind. I empower myself when I honor my values. In being true to me, I am also true to others."

~Gaia Oracle

Tarot of the Month: Sister Water ~ Divine Love

"Tarot has nothing to do with telling the future. The tarot spread is a beautiful, intuitive way of straightening out the chaos for a moment, just for a moment, so you may see some of the things in your life better. Again it shows you what the intellect does not know, for it reveals the energy of vibration within the system we are talking about."

In 2017, I am going to randomly draw one card for each newsletter--trusting that this is something to help us sort the confusion or chaos about something in the moment--that you will receive at just the "right" time.

Water Sister. Love Divine

"Full of grace, Water Sister is the way of Universal Love."

Water Sister leads us into our potential through activating the powers of the heart. She has quiet strength, is a quiet visionary, and highly successful in matters of self-examination. As the power of crystallization, she focuses that which is obscure by returning again and again to her power of Love.

Key Words for this card are: Connection, Interrelatedness, Joy of Love in Every Season--the Rise and Fall, Intuition, Vision, Dream, Creation, Cosmological Vows.

Water Sister teaches us how to Love more deeply. When distressed by a person or by a situation she asks the question, How can I love you more? or How can my love become greater? Thus she progresses ever deeper into her path of Love. Even as Water Sister, we are called to progress more deeply on our path of Love. She is with you and in you. Her direction is the right direction. Travel with her even as you allow her to travel within you. Raise your vibration to match hers with a cosmological vow to Love.

Biological Decoding Here Today

Conflicts and trauma are sometimes obvious and sometimes not and make their presence known to us as dis-ease and imbalance in our lives; manifesting in our body. Weight issues or acne are obvious to most, but what are the traumas, loyalties and imbalances locked away in diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or behind simple allergies and minor illnesses given labels or the diagnosis's we receive at the doctor's office? Do you want healing or just relief?

The premise is easy. Disease and sicknesses are "nothing more" than emotional conflict(s) or trauma, --lessons to learn (that may be passed down from our ancestors) running in an "invisible" field of energy unknown or unrealized to us until it emerges as our brain's (the ultimate computer) solution for the disturbance deep within our psyche. More simply, the first law of Biological Decoding states: "Every pain or disease originates from a conflict. The conflict is an unexpected, highly acute, and isolating shock that occurs simultaneously in the PSYCHE, the BRAIN, and part of the BODY that corresponds to the type of conflict. Discovering the conflict aids the brain in sending messages to repair the body".

If we are human, we all have unresolved emotional conflicts. Heal them for yourselves--heal them for your kids and break the pattern. Biological Decoding goes hand-in-hand with our allopathic medicine today which addresses the mechanical aspects of our disease.

How can I help you today?

The Biology of Decoding is an amazing tool to assist in the discovery of the root cause of dis-ease. This discovery and decoding opens the door to healing, deepens spiritual understanding of who we are and releases limiting beliefs and patterns.

"If the mind doth bend, disease can end."

Dr. Todd Ovokaitys, MD

FOOD FOCUS: Popcorn!

Whole foods work synergistically to support the entire human body. Because whole foods have not undergone any processing, they retain all of their nutrients and fibers. These are optimizing for our well-being.

Medicinal Benefits

Rebecca Wood, author of The New Wholes Foods Encyclopedia writes that popcorn is light and dry, and it's thermal property is hot. She notes in her book, The Doctrine of Signature suggests that while it's "good for moving stuck energy, it may be best used moderately by someone with an explosive temperament.

One cup of popped corn has 54 calories and 2 grams of protein. It's nutritional value can be greatly enhanced by sprinkling it with nutritional yeast, and herbs.

The most interesting piece of trivia for me however, is that as Rebecca notes, many things American--from pop music to Levi's--are popular elsewhere in the world, popcorn at the movies and at home is pretty much an American thing.

Popcorn is not only native to the Americas, but is the original grandmother of all corn. In New Mexico, Harvard anthropologists dug through layers in a bat cave more than 2000 years old of accumulated trash, garbage and excrement. "The deeper they dug," wrote Betty Fussell, author of The Story of Corn, "the smaller and more primitive the cobs, until they reached the bottom and found tiny cobs of popcorn in which each kernel was enclosed in its own husk, the 'pod popcorn' . . . identified as a genetic ancestor" of modern corn.

Everything we put into our body synthesizes into something whether it happens to be thoughts and words, our experiences and lifestyle or our food.

In the course of our busy lives, few of us ever stop to think (speaking for myself now) ---what does this actually do for my well-being? That is why I continue to focus on one food or ingredient each month. Not to memorize facts, but to bring more awareness to our consciousness about what we choose to eat. It affects us in many ways.

Recipe of the Month:

Popcorn~the old fashioned way!

When the third person walked into my kitchen, and looked at me with confusion and quizzicalness when I told them I was popping popcorn without the microwave, I decided it was time to reintroduce it as new again! I hadn't realized how "old school" it had become. However, the microwave changes the molecular structure of all food, and it is packed with lots of not-so-good additives--and yes , is a bad thing. I decided--that it is time to reintroduce popcorn--made the "old fashioned" way. On the stovetop! It's easy. I get to control the ingredients. And, with the kids out of school shortly--and the weather darker, damper and colder, it quickly becomes movie season at home. So, here is the easy and quick way to fix healthier popcorn. Tailor it to your preferences!

Voilà

Ingredients for 1 serving

Simple and healthier than the Microwave!*

2-4 tablespoons Organic Coconut Oil

1/4 cup Organic popcorn(you can purchase bulk organic popcorn)

1-2 Tablespoons Organic Butter, melted

Himalayan Sea Salt or Real Salt™

PREPARATION

I don't find this difficult at all--however,

it doesn't pop itself and you must watch it!

Turn on burner--and pour coconut oil in saucepan. Give it about 30 seconds so it begins heating. Then sprinkle in your popcorn seeds. Quickly rotate the saucepan to coat the kernels with the oil.

Place the top on the sauce pan and listen for the kernels to begin popping.

Shake saucepan from time to time to shake seeds--encouraging them to pop.

When you hear most of the corn has stopped popping--remove from the heat and pour fluffy hot popcorn into a proper size bowl.

Next, I take a tablespoon or two of yummy organic butter and put it directly into my still-warm saucepan.

It will take a minute or so, but the butter will be liquid and then I simply pour it over my popcorn. Sprinkle with salt as desired--and enjoy!

*According to Tori Avey, "most microwave popcorn bags are lined with perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA). That’s the toxic chemical and carcinogen that can be found in many nonstick skillets and pans– it’s approved food safe by the government, but the fumes from cooking on a PFOA skillet can kill a parrot standing nearby. This, in addition to the fact that most microwave popcorn brands contain partially hydrogenated oils, artificial colors and flavorings, and preservatives… well, let’s just say it’s not something I want to feed my family.

"Time Machine"

They say time is a circle—not a straight line. It’s just that we don’t live long enough life cycles to remember from one life to another and to tie our expressions to our bigger, grander purpose; or who we really are. My Mother used to say, if you wait long enough it will be back in style. Everything that is old becomes new again—and when I see things that are “new” it reminds me of my Grandmothers era or another place “in time.” We know styles come and go in cycles. What about the illusion of “time and space”? This past summer (click)

Every Truth passes through three stages before it is accepted. In the first it is ridiculed; in the second it is opposed; in the third, it is regarded as self evident.
