Moving Forward
💦
As I sat watching the wake made from the green and white Washington State ferry and the clouds beyond—it struck me how easy it is and comfortable to look back and stay stuck in our lives or situations for far too long, even as the energy and signs around us try to move us forward. We often wish for what
was
—what
could
have been—
should
have been—and why did it have to . . . .
you
fill in the ________________ (blank). But, life is a circle and things come up that push us forward—no matter how hard we resist or kick and scream—we must move forward; slow or fast there is
no
standing still. Most of us unwilling to see the light that the future holds just beyond our comfort zone and limited vantage point where we stand in the present moment until we are forced to take a step or make a new decision. How much easier it would be if we were all more open to “what’s next.” Yet, in order to be open, and willing to surrender and move forward, we must trust that the Universe, the Creative source, or God has our back. The alternative potential seems self-fulfilling and that in the end, we will end up angry—resentful or bitter. Don’t let the past dictate your future!
I stood on the front deck of the ferry boat—headed for the Olympic Peninsula and the community of Port Townsend where I would disembark and continue on to Sequim, a strong wind pushed against me. Although cool and strong—it was refreshing and uplifting; I was excited in spite of not “knowing” what the road ahead held in store. I trusted I would arrive at my destination. My late summer adventure continuing on for a few more days before heading back home to South Florida. After all, I am the co-creator of my life—and
so are you.
Easy you say—you were on vacation. However, in this moment, it seemed bigger than that. Was this a metaphor for life? I am sure many of us have had those same thoughts over days, months or years. We are all being pushed forward and and cannot return to what was; we can never unlearn something new and return to where we have been. It seems that everything has an expiration date—but how often do we stand unwilling to look and change for long term gain and benefits? But why? Perhaps it’s all perspective. Early childhood “training” from our parents, teachers and society at large—seemed to “train” us well. The meme cemented in the collective consciousness that permeates us always waiting for the “other shoe to drop.” Can we put the worry and anxiety aside and enjoy the ride? It is the adventure after all that most of us enjoy—we never worry about the hard climb or the distance, unless we do. We have all had experiences that were “Blessings in Disguise” once the dust cleared. We are stronger, wiser and more experienced—almost like moving from one grade to the next while in school. I remember long ago, one friend of mine wrote “happiness is seeing El Paso in my rear view mirror.” She was clearly happy about leaving those four years behind and was ready for “What’s next.” What does your next step hold in store for you?
I like to pose the question, “When I am 80-85-90+ will I have any regrets that I didn’t do this . . . take advantage of that . . . or take a new choice which was presenting itself to me now, knowing it was for my highest and best possibility in the moment?” That helps me look at the greater perspective and broader picture than the microcosm I am living at the moment. Is it time to take a step back and ask . . . “What do I really want?”
As we round the bend into the last quarter of the year, perhaps these few suggestions will help you look ahead. Quietly ask yourself, how can I best surrender and let old things fall that no longer serve me, or others around you? They impact our well-being, the stress level in our lives and our peace after all. We must allow the stones— those ideas and new choices—to be rebuilt into a much more vital, stronger, sustainable and healthy life for ourselves. It can be terrifying or it can be intimating, but it can also be empowering, growth-filled and exciting. Can you picture something new for yourself?
Change Perspective -
Take a step back to the observer’s position. Make a list of the positive and negative aspects from an outsiders viewpoint. Get a trusted friend, or pay for a therapy session. It may be the best money you ever spent! Try to look at it from a neutral viewpoint. Ask yourself, what do I need to know? When we are in the question—we are open to possibility where possibility never was before. Where is my next great “adventure” waiting to take me?
Write a letter -
If you are having a hard time moving to what’s next, write a letter. Sometimes our fears are tied to triggers. Usually it’s only a symbolic representation of something much deeper. A letter gives you time to process and reflect in a safe way. What will your deeper subconscious reveal? What surprising thing did you learn about yourself from your letter—to yourself? The house? Your ex-spouse? Your Mother? Mother-in-law? Your boss? Co-worker?
The Universe is always conspiring to get us to grow—and expand in a loving way. Our greatest obstacles become our most powerful teachers. It is a time when our social, spiritual and psychological values are changing as a result of our new consciousness. Like a willow tree we must bend and yield as the deep yearning inside us shifts. We cannot remain rigid—in our thinking—and our way of being; what was “right” at one time—may not be “right” anymore. We are the co-creators in our evolutionary process always moving forward—never backward. How are you shifting and growing from the inside out? Can you readjust or reset your “normal?”
Let the fear go
- Fear is the only thing that dims our light. I know we have “angelic” helpers who assist us from the unseen or invisible realms. Call on them for their assistance. Like parents observing children, they can only assist when called upon. There is no right or wrong. There is only
“What is.”
Trust the signals and signs and your gut, intuition and smart body to know what is right for you. When we don’t look backwards, and keep moving forward the synchronicity of the Universe helps us—opening new doors and presenting new things and ideas—as the next greater step in our personal evolution. With pure intent in our heart—and the wind of cosmic energies at our back—we can accomplish anything. After all, we are the light! Where will your new path carry you?

Silent whispers of the Heart
This card
confirms that you have a natural psychic ability that can be further developed and expanded. But in order to develop this innate gift, you must pay greater attention to your intuition. This can come in many forms. For example, it can
be a gut feeling, an unusual or unexpected thought, or a subtle and silent whisper that seems to flow from your heart. Close your eyes and be aware of all you feel around you. The Universe is alive, the Earth and nature are living energies. Whether you know it or not, there is an aspect of you that is in constant communion with all of creation; you are therefore also in constant communication with everyone and everything. All that you need to expand this wonderful ability is within you. Start to listen to your inner voice and learn to trust your vibes and natural instincts. You are about to discover a whole new way of being.
I focus on my inner world.
I am one with all creation.
All is energetically connected.
I trust my intuition.
My awareness expands with Love.

The I Ching is at least 5000 years old and is one of the oldest books on the planet
and
one that has never been out of print since it first appeared. I thought it would be fun to draw a card each month and glean its quantum message--and apply it to our individual and
personal
circumstances.

BEFORE COMPLETION- WEI CHI (64)
Above-FIRE Below -WATER
Ruling Lines - FIFTH
_____________________________
"If Everything is in its place and all is in order, what is stopping you?Are you absolutely sure you want this? Question your motives and be honest at this time. Proceed with a certain amount of caution, but accept that you cannot go back nor can you remain where you are. Things are coming to an end, and you must face a new and different sort of future, so of course there is uncertainty."
_______________________________

SIXTH (TOP) LINE: It has been a long hard struggle and it will soon be time to celebrate--but not yet. Still maintain vigilance.
FIFTH LINE: This is a new start and you are right to feel confident. The situation is virtually resolved. There is no blame attached.
FOURTH LINE: It is not a time to question anything. You're almost there. Don't fall at the last hurdle. This winning line is in sight.
THIRD LINE: Don't rush things. Don't force the pace. Allow things to happen at their own speed. There is a natural order for ending things.
SECOND LINE: Prepare for your future but continue to do nothing for a little while longer. Soon all will be action and you will need all your energy. For the moment just wait.
FIRST (BOTTOM) LINE: The start is easy - the end is difficult. What ends also begins. What begins also ends. Nothing is ever really finished.

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

Medicinal Plant: Horsetail
|
|
For 2018 I thought it would be interesting to highlight a medicinal plant--one that you may or may not know about.
The use of plants as medicines predates written human history. Many of the herbs and spices used by humans to season food also yield useful medicinal compounds. The use of herbs and spices in cuisine developed in part as a response to the threat of food-borne pathogens. Awareness always gives us more options. Y
ou can then make the decision to explore the qualities further and discover if the nutrition and benefits are right for you!

Equisetum is a "
living fossil
" as it is the only living genus of the entire
class
Equisetopsida
, which for over one hundred million years was much more diverse and dominated the
understory
of late
Paleozoic
forests. Some Equisetopsida were large
trees
reaching to 30 meters tall.
Medicinal Benefits
-
According to National Geographic Nature's Medicine, Horsetail, sometimes used to polish metal because its high silica content makes it abrasive, has been used to help clot bleeding from wounds, to treat Urinary problems, and to promote healing of eczema and other skin diseases.
Bartram's Encyclopedia of Herbal Medicine notes that horsetail is a homeostatic (meaning that it creates an equilibrium) for genito-urinary organs as well as being a non-irritating diuretic. It also increases coagulability of the blood. It is a re-mineraliser, is anti-atheroma (helps with fatty deposits and scar tissue in the arteries) and it anti-rheumatic. Well known as a astringent and immune enhancer, it also stimulates white blood cells.
The main uses for horsetail include: blood in the urine, prostatitis, bed-wetting, chronic bladder infections and incontinence in the aged. The silica in the horsetail preserves the elasticity of the connective tissue and controls the absorption of calcium which is a necessary ingredient of nails, hair and the skeleton. Its cleansing properties rapidly remove u
rates (a salt of uric acid),
uric acid (as in gout) and cellullites from the system.
Although, you probably won't be running out to the woods to find horsetail--it is interesting to note the healing ability of plants we have often observed walking in the woods or picked as kids. 🌱

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.

- Bake in a 350º oven for 50-55 minutes. (internal temp. should reach 165º)
- Let cool for about 5 minutes, slice and serve.
Cathy's notes:
This was the second time I made this turkey meatloaf. The first time was at my friend Brad's house as he doesn't eat beef and it was just a
meatloaf kind of day. The weather had cooled and felt very fall-like. 🍁 The first batch was respectable--and we both enjoyed it. I substituted oatmeal (the rolled oats) for the bread crumbs in the original recipe--increased the ketchup and garnished the top with BBQ sauce. I still felt it needed a bit more zing. This time I got it! I used garlic paste--which was easy and quick, and added the Herbs de Provence. The additional herbs made all the difference as the turkey meat is leaner than beef and it is the fat in the beef/pork it's memorable flavor. This time I garnished it with Ketchup as I had plenty on hand. Enjoy! It makes great sandwiches too!

Blog - Parting Thoughts . . .
Monica Muranyi writes in her book,
The Gaia Effect
, that whales and dolphins are known as the masters of cosmic travel and masters of multi-dimensionality. Their mission here is to teach us, and assist us in healing our minds, and our bodies. They are also here now, inviting us to open our belief systems to multiple realities of Love. They are holders of immense energy for humanity. Intuitively, we as humans know that these animals are special, and they need to be undisturbed and allowed to thrive—as our history of the Earth—is stored within them. Too out there for some? Not far enough for others? There is magic created in the invisible and unknown. Four weeks ago today,
