You are not a victim of life but a co-creator of your reality.  This Pisces Moon is here to guide you to create the life you deserve to live.  Don’t fall victim to the emotional turmoil of Pisces.  Instead, utilize this Pisces Moon to help you on your journey by facing and embracing whatever comes up during this Moon.  When we can really accept where we are now right now, we become empowered by knowing we can change it any moment we choose.

Consider the list below and ask yourself. What can I release today?

• What part of my life do I need to bring healing to? Why have I not healed?
• What do I need to be compassionate about? Can I show compassion to myself? Can I show compassion to others?

• Where am I putting my boundaries and expectations?
• What is out of balance in my everyday life? What do I need to pay more attention to?

• Where can I organize my life so that it flows more easily?
• Where can I begin to expand my thinking, and allow my emotions to surface?
• What do I need to release, with compassion, at this time?

If you’re experiencing feelings of being stuck, playing the blame game, emotional sensitivity, powerless, and or victimized, then let’s explore what this means for you.

There are 12 archetypes at work for every individual. Within these 12, there are 4 that are necessary to our survival that we all share:

The Child, the Prostitute, the Saboteur, and the Victim.

Understanding how these influences work to shape our attitudes and behaviors provides valuable insight into why we act as we do. The Victim as it relates to this New Moon will offer the opportunity to tap into and understand our personal power and how it creates positive outcomes in us and our relationships, both personally and professionally.

The Victim, the guardian of self-esteem, archetype may manifest the first time you don’t get what you want or need, where abused by a parent, playmate, sibling or teacher and/or are accused of or punished for something you didn’t do.

The first thing to do in any situation where you feel like a victim is to be honest about your feelings. By expressing and acknowledging feeling of sadness, anger, anxiety or joy you empower yourself. By understanding the circumstances in life that have caused negative emotions and taking responsibility for them, we grow. Until we accept this responsibility, we cannot take back our power we have given away by passing blame. It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong. What matters is we see our own accountability and in that we can reclaim our power and move past the Victim.

The bottom line “core issue” of the Victim is whether it’s worth giving up your own sense of empowerment to avoid taking responsibility for your independence.

Grounding is key to working through the Victim archetype.

Below you will find a few ways in which being grounded can make a difference in our everyday lives:

• Brings the physical body into harmony and balance
• Allows the body to heal more quickly and deeply
• Can improve physical body health and vitality
• Helps to release (or ground) emotional energies
• Provides an outlet for the release of stored energy from the physical body
• Increases balance and stability in our physical and emotional states
• Helps to create a bridge between Spirit and the physical
• Increases power, awareness and the ability to be present

Visualization Grounding Technique

Sit comfortably with your spine as straight as possible. Keep your hands and feet apart with the feet flat on the floor.

Close your eyes (this helps you to focus inside)

Take three deep breaths through the nose, inhaling and exhaling deeply and completely through the belly. While you breathe through the nose, place your tongue resting lightly on the roof of your mouth. This helps encourage the flow of energy through your system.

If you are sitting on the floor, visualize yourself sending tree roots down into the Earth from the base of your spine. If you are sitting in a chair, visualize yourself sending tree roots down into the Earth from the bottom of your feet. Imagine that this tremendous root system is traveling as deeply into the Earth as possible and is fully anchoring you to the Earth. As the roots travel swiftly down into the Earth’s core, visualize yourself drawing up rich, dark Earth energy that spirals upward and throughout your body.

Now, as you breathe, imagine the Earth energy slowly traveling up your legs, your spine, body and into your brain.  This will take about 5 minutes as you move the energy up and through your body.

So how do you open your heart? You can genuinely open our heart when you escape from your thoughts, emotions, ego and attachments. When the desire to define yourself is diminished, you can say you have truly opened your heart. Experiencing an open heart, will open doors to receive the love you long for while strengthening your connection to your true self. Here is a brief lesson for your guidance.

Where the mind goes, energy flows. If your mind is full of negative thoughts or old emotions, energy gets stuck and stagnated. It becomes more and more difficult to see your way clear. Energy needs to flows naturally and will occur when we clear our minds by opening up the chest meridians. The Fourth Chakra, also known as the Heart Chakra, is located behind the heart toward the middle of the chest. It links and integrates the energies of the mind and body together. It encourages wholeness, boundless love, centeredness and empathy. A calm mind loosens the chest and facilitates the flow of energy. When activated, you can experience a sense of pure love and compassion from a centered and balanced place.

By opening the energy pathways of the chest and heart through exercises and breath work, you can activate your heart center to achieve greater mental and physical harmony. Breathe!! The amount of air you inhale will increase and your breathing will deepen after you have exhaled all the air in your lungs. By lengthening each exhalation, you can release unwanted stagnant emotions and baggage.

The following exercises will teach you how to relax your mind by relaxing your body. This will open your heart center. Repeat each set four times.

• Using your finger tips, lightly tap your entire chest area. Experiencing tenderness especially in the center of your chest is normal. Continue to tap in that area.
• Sit in half lotus and lock your fingers behind your back. Inhale and bend your upper body forward from the waist while lifting both arms up behind you toward the back of your head. Exhale while slowly returning.
• Sit on your knees. Place your palms together with your arms extended out in front of you. Inhale, opening your chest as you stretch your arms out to the sides as far as possible with your palms facing forward.
• Sit half lotus. Place both hands in the prayer position in front of your chest. Inhale. Open your hands and extend your arms as far as possible at chest level. Focus on expanding your chest, keeping your spine lengthened while holding your breath. Gently pull your shoulder blades toward each other and hold for five seconds. Exhale and bring your hands together back to the prayer position. Inhale and slowly pull your arms apart as far as you can, with elbows bent and wrists flexed. Face your palms toward the sky with your shoulders and hands parallel.
• Sit in half lotus position with your thumbs and index fingertips touching. Focus on your heart, breathing slowly and gently. Imagine energy connecting the heart and expanding as you breathe. Continue for about 15 minutes. You will feel your heart becoming stronger and stronger

The New Moon sets the stage for setting new goals, hopes and wishes. I suggest writing in a journal within 48 hours after the New Moon. The optimal time would be within the first 8 hours.  Please avoid the following timeframe August 10^th 12:10pm pst – 4:01pm pst as the Moon goes void of course. If you’ve missed the opportunity within the first 48 hours, you can resume writing your new goals, hopes and wishes after 4:02pm pst on August 10 through 5:04 pm pst  on August 11^th, 2010.

Some suggested goals or wishes as it relates to this New Moon might be:

“I easily attract and experience a healthy, happy romantic relationship”

“I easily find myself re-entering the dating scene in a way that is successful for me”

“In a relationship I easily find myself being who I am so I can stay involved in the relationship that encourages my spiritual, emotional and physical well being”

“I easily find myself rising every morning with enthusiasm for the coming day”

“I easily find myself choosing projects that allows my creativity to flow”

“I easily find myself actively giving love, approval and support to the people who are important to me”

“I easily find myself giving others the benefit of the doubt”

“I easily find myself doing at least one thing a day that brings me pleasure”

“I easily find myself taking a risk outside my comfort zone to have fun”

Many Angels, Principalities and Ascended Masters were present to assist in releasing all issues. I was in awe of their beauty and unconditional love as they attended to each and everyone present by cleaning, clearing, and opening your heart centers instilling forgiveness. They really know how to work a room!! The Reiki energy assisted in breaking through stagnant blockages and then shifted into balancing your chakra’s (energy) centers. Please consider a salt mineral bath, smudge (burn sage) and resting your body by going to bed early for the next 2 weeks.

Please do not dwell on.. or loop back into any of your concerns or past issues from your list. This releasing process, depending on your circumstances, may take up to a month or two. You may even feel exhausted or just tired. This is normal and actually a very good symptom! This means by attending this event you have reclaimed your power to find new solutions to clear out your past and stop repeating old patterns. You’re opening your life to the new and promising road ahead.

If you find yourself looping back, focus on the intellectual Aquarian energy by responding instead of reacting. This full moon promises the energy to assist you analytically instead of emotionally. Focus on setting a new vision or goal for yourself.

My audio program “Become a Conscious Clarity Creation” can assist you through the process by setting your vision for success, reflect on your life and declare your character using your intention to live your heart’s desire. Please visit my website at http://www.claritywithlaurenlarsen.com for more information.

I am available to assist any of you through this time. Please feel free to contact me for a private consultation. Visit my website for updates to this event and future events.

I discovered these quotes by ~Lewis B. Smedes and felt I had to share with you. They are so profound.

“We attach our feelings to the moment when we were hurt, endowing it with immortality. And we let it assault us every time it comes to mind. It travels with us, sleeps with us, hovers over us while we make love, and broods over us while we die. Our hate does not even have the decency to die when those we hate die–for it is a parasite sucking OUR blood, not theirs. There is only one remedy for it. Forgiveness..

“You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.”

Have you asked yourself?…“What have I been made aware of through this shift and healing event that I need to change about myself”?

Now is the time to focus on removing all emotional responses from your internal dialog.  Be truthful with yourself, open your heart and mind while setting this intention. You will experience a strong sense of accomplishment and the drive to finally move forward to achieve your goals.

This full moon cycle moving in Aquarius offers a wonderful opportunity to release all the issues that came up for you during the past two July eclipses. Your emotions will now move into intellectual thoughts giving you the experience to become the conscious observer in your life. Take advantage of this powerful opportunity to lighten your load.  

From today moving into the full moon event on Sunday, July 25, 2010, take the time to write down all your old pains, any resistance to change, past buried issues, even anger if applicable and prepare to “burn” your list after the moon is full.

I will be your support and agent of change. I am so excited to be able to share this opportunity with you.

Be gentle and loving with yourself. You are given only what you can handle. Although this is a powerful time to create shifts, there will be plenty of future opportunities to grow and create the change you so desire..

Peace and Prosperity,

It is common to confuse your emotions with the soul, as though they were the same. Your spirit is the one perfect, unchangeable part of you. Your feelings, on the other hand fluctuate constantly.

Your soul is like pure water contained in a glass. You can mix many things into the water, but it always remains water.

When people speak of a good soul or a bad one, they usually base this judgment on a person’s emotional expression rather than on the soul. A good soul generally refers to someone who exhibits a bright, positive personality.

By contrast, hardened criminals might be called bad souls, because they succumb to their darkest impulses. Yet, neither kind of person has an unhealthy soul. Someone may have an unhealthy mind but that does not affect the condition of the soul. Even the most unpleasant, anti-social person possesses a brilliant and beautiful spirit.

For this reason, I recommend letting your soul rather than your emotions be the controlling element in your life.

Through spiritual guidance, healing, meditation and breathing, you can rid yourself of these emotions. If you can peel away the layers, you can ask yourself what makes you truly, not temporarily, happy.

Honestly, I was captivated and amazed by the energies shifting and changing preparing all of us for this major astrological planetary change. If you weren’t climbing the walls last week wondering what was going on, then you may be from another planet. Eclipses are like wild cards, however this type of energy can help you achieve things that you have only dreamed of. You now have the opportunity to have your best life. Like magic, doors open.. Miracles manifest. Stay steadfast in your convictions and know you will rise to the occasion.

The message I received to share was quite clear. But first…Ask yourself this. “What have I been made aware of through this shift and healing event that I need to change about myself”?

 It is time to release the emotional attachments to your old ways. You will find that your old repetitive behavior will no longer work for you regardless.  So.. Change is present. Embrace it.  It is up to you whether you choose to be aware and make change, however, know if ignored, change that is inevitable will occur anyway. Do it on your own terms. Otherwise the universe will make it happen and not necessary in a manner that is comfortable for you. This is what is known as a crisis moment. A simple example of this might be, “Why this happening to me?”or“ Life’s not fair”.  I am sure, as you are, that we have all “been there”, “done that”. So take control of your life. Be productive and useful. Set your goals, make a plan to create your best life, buy that new suit, and follow your instinct. You may just get that dream job you always wanted. When you flow with synchronicity you will find the necessary tools, assets, gifts and opportunities to help you.

The second message I received to share… This new found awareness will come through others.  This was the most exciting message I received as I realized I am your “agent of change”. During the healing, I removed all your blockages and cleansed old emotions that no longer serve you. Its your time to begin with a clean slate and seek the truth in what’s real or not in your life.  Stay aware of your foundation and address each obstactle that may arise one step at a time. Initiating new action will be easier than usual after having this healing.

I thoroughly enjoyed healing all of you as a collective energy. Many of you came forward as well, but know you all received the same benefit.

I look forward to offering this healing event again in the near future. Please be sure to log in to my mailing list @ http://claritywithlaurenlarsen.com/contact/ to receive information for the next scheduled free event.

Peace and Prosperity,

Lauren

What is Reiki and How Does it Work?

Reiki is an ancient form of alternative healing. In recent years it has become a common phenomenon in the world of medicine, health care and relaxation.
People all over the world are now taking an interest in Reiki, a form of hands-on healing. Countless people of all different backgrounds and skills have taken some type of Reiki training.

Today it is very difficult to keep pace with life in the fast lane and this causes a lot of pressure. Corporations are worried about the health of their employees due to the high rate of absence in the office. Many days are taken off because of nervous tension due to stress. Employers are now interested in introducing relaxation techniques such as Reiki in the workplace. Reiki can often be the perfect solution to this problem.

How would we define Reiki? People are confused by the pronunciation of Reiki. It’s very simple; you can pronounce Reiki as Ray-Key. The meaning of Reiki is”Universal Energy”. In Chinese the letters Ki is referred to as Chi which actually means energy. Reiki is connected to the energies both inside of us as well as in the world around us.

The way Reiki works lies in the meaning of the word itself. It is based on working with and channeling energy. Some people consider Reiki a spiritual energy.

As Reiki practitioner’s we work with the energy that is all around us and connect this energy with your energy. This is a process of self healing and it brings a peaceful relaxation to the mind and body. It also keeps any energy source within a person free from any blockage. Whenever any energy flow is blocked, it causes some problem in your body. This energy blockage is usually related to worries and stress and manifests itself in physical problems. As Reiki practitioner’s we can feel this blockage and know how to send healing energy to clear out the blocks that keep the energy freely flowing.

Reiki is amazingly effective for emotional problems. Sometimes a person can’t express clearly how he feels but he knows something is really burdening his mind. Reiki works well for this type of problem. A few sessions of Reiki can help to unblock the throat and mind energy sources. Once it is cleared the person feels deeply relaxed and can express himself clearly. Physical problems are often related with the emotional problems inside a person’s psyche. The unblocking of these energy centers makes a person emotionally free. This in turn is beneficial in dealing with physical problems. Reiki can reach to the deepest recesses of the mind and helps maintain a proper balance between body and mind.

The impressive thing about Reiki is that it is completely harmless but still has great healing power. It is a great help in stress, panic attacks, depression, anxiety or nervousness. It works by re-balancing the energy within you and soothes your body and mind. Reiki is a holistic method of healing. Reiki practitioners ask their clients to try and find out underlying causes for the symptoms. Even a very small change in lifestyle may be all that is required to cure a patient’s problems.

Experiences during or after a distant Reiki treatment can vary for each person. Here are a few examples.
Feelings of peace, serenity, calmness and/or relaxation
Feeling energetic
Feeling lighter
Euphoria (happiness, laughing, and/or positive thinking)
Spiritual awareness
Release of suppressed/buried feelings, emotions, and/or blockages
Release of toxins that can trigger sweating and/or excessive thirst

Anything you experience is normal. Some people may not experience anything at all, this is also normal. It can mean that the Reiki healing energy is working on a different level of your body. Some people may start noticing a difference the next day, few days later, or even a week later. Some people are more sensitive than others but everybody receives the same healing benefit. As long as you accept and are open to the Reiki healing energy being sent to you, it will work!
