Mother's Day: Who's Your Baby, Now?

 

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and my guest blogger today, Suzanne Strisower, has a different perspective on what it means to celebrate being  a mother. Suzanne reminds us of some important facts to ponder on this special day:

•  Not all babies are human.
• Some mothers have furry babies, too.
• And...not all mothers are human.

 

Mother’s Day is NOT as Inclusive as It Should Be

 

 May 9, 2013   

Suzanne and her little girl “The Printz”

Mother’s Day is a fantastic day to celebrate your biological mother that has given birth to you. The person who brought us into this world…But it is so much more!
Interestingly enough, we only think of ourselves, not our pets who have puppies, kittens or our livestock who have animals that we take from them on a regular basis to eat or give away without a second thought. How about if we honor these mothers too? The ones that provide us with life, love and pleasure. We often only think of the humans in our lives, but there are so many other mothers in our lives that touch us on a daily basis. How about honoring them today too?

Let’s not forget the biggest mother of us all – our amazing planet earth – Mother Gaia… Are you going to celebrate her today and the one who truly nourishes you above all others – no matter what circumstances or background that you come from 24/7. Let’s expand this celebration to include the Mother of us all!

For Mother’s Day this year, I challenge each of you to think beyond your biological mother that Hallmark has made a fortune off of. Think about each and every “Mother” that you have in your life. Honor each of them and do a good deed for each Mother that you have – 2 legged, 4 legged and the Mother of us all. Let’s make this Mother’s Day one where every mother is honored and included in this celebration.

 Mother's Day may be a difficult holiday for those of us who no longer have our biological mothers  with us to celebrate. However, it is important to remember that we are more than the product of our biological parents. We have another mother and Mother Gaia is always by our side. And, so often we forget that our furry children are as much a part of our family as our human children. So I ask you again, "Who's your baby, today?"

Mother's Day: 5 Ways The Power of Creation & Universal Law Works for You!

 

Mother’s Day is upon us. A dear friend sent me this short story to give me a reality check and to drive home the Power of Creation and mothers in all walks of life.  Often, while traveling  on the road of existence we forget to trust in the Universe and it’s incredible Laws of Life. These laws are magnified by the love of mothers concerning the gift of life. I am sharing this story with you to remind all mothers that you are never alone, even in your most dangerous dark hour.  The universe is waching. It will guard you.... 

 In a forest, a pregnant deer is about to give birth to a baby.

It remembers a remote grass field near a river and slowly goes there thinking it will be safe while giving birth.

As she moves slowly, she gets her first labour pain.

 At the same moment, dark clouds gather around that area and a lightning strike starts a flash forest fire.

Turning left, she sees a hunter who is aiming an arrow from a distance.

 As she tries to move toward the right, she spots a hungry lion approaching  her.

Enter—the STOCHASTIC PROBABILITY THEORY: (pronunciation: /stoʊˈkæstɪk/-

(a random process of random variables used to represent the evolution of some random system. It is the probabilistic counterpart to a deterministic process. Rather than having  only one way, there are infinitely many directions in which the process may evolve.)

 What can the pregnant deer do? She is already having labour pains and surrounded by danger.

 What do you think will happen?

 Will the deer survive?

 Will it give birth to a fawn?

 Will the fawn survive?

 OR

 Will everything be burnt by the forest fire?

 Can the deer run to the left? No, the hunter's arrow is pointing at her.

 Can she run to the right? No, the hungry male lion is approaching her.

 Can she move up to higher ground? No, there the forest is on fire.

 Can she move down the medow? No, that is where the fierce river is.

 Answer:

 She does nothing.

 She just focuses on giving birth to a new LIFE..

 The sequence of events that happens in that fraction of a second (moment) are as follows:

 In a spur of MOMENT, a lightning strikes, and blinds the eyes of the hunter!

 At that MOMENT, he releases the arrow which  misses and zips past the deer!

 At that MOMENT, the arrow hits and injures the lion!

 At that MOMENT, it starts to rain heavily which puts out the forest fire!

 At that next MOMENT, the deer gives birth to a healthy fawn!

 

What does this mean? Our life is also filled with MOMENTS of CHOICE. when we all have to deal with negative thoughts and dangers from all sides.

Some thoughts are so powerful they overcome us, and make us clueless. We become frozen in place. They make us feel like a victums of circumstance with no hope of help.

But, anything can happen in a MOMENT in this life.

If you are religious, superstitious, atheist or agnostic, you can attribute this MOMENT to Divine Intervention, faith, sudden luck, serendipity, coincidence, karma, or a simple, “I just don't know!”

The priority of the deer, in that given moment, was simply giving birth to a baby, because LIFE IS PRECIOUS! And, LIFE MUST GO ON!

In the future, may you always be inspired to have a focused positive insight, oblivious of all imaginary or negative probabilities.

"LIFE is flowing like a river with unexpected turns that  my be good , or bad. Learn to enjoy each turn because, these Turns...Never RE-TURN."

 

Let us take a second to ponder the lesson of the Doe and her fawn, apply it to our life. The stochastic process (pronunciation: /stoʊˈkæstɪk/), is the random process of a collection of random variables that  represents the evolution of some other random value, or system, over time. In the case of our story, the doe, the hunter, the fire, the lion and labor pains.

 

The key work here is RANDOM. Stochaastic  is the probabilistic counterpart to DETERMINED.  Instead of describing a process which can only evolve in one way (as in the case of the story, CERTAIN DEATH at every turn)  in a stochastic or random process there are several (often infinitely many) directions in which the process may evolve.

 

This is another way of saying, trust in the process of the Universe. We are not victums of circumstance, even when we feel our situation is out of our control.  There is a Higher Power involved, with infatesimal solutions. Believe and watch for the validation.

 

 May this Mother’s Day be one of the best days of your life. Enjoy the eb and flow of love and family, no matter what dangers or dark memories  may lurk around every corner. There are many solutions to all you life and family challenges at your fingertips. Embrace them when they  present themselves. Take the time to give thanks to your Higher Power for your children and family.  And trust that the Universe and your Guardian Angels are watching over you as you celebrate this special time because this Mother’s Day will never RE-TURN.

Clarity About the Three Full Moon Festivals of Spring

This week I am honored to introduce Patricia Cota-Robles as my guest blogger.

Spring is a time of new beginnings filled with life and festivals. Are you familiar with the Three Moon Festivals of Spring? They have been celebrated for a millennia.  Join us as we celebrate them again, here and now.

 

Clarity About the Three Full Moon Festivals of Spring

by Patricia Cota-Robles

 

     

Today, April 25, 2013, is the Full Moon Wesak Festival which is the 2nd Full Moon Festival of Spring. Even though Spring is only occurring in the Northern Hemisphere, the Light that bathes the Planet during these powerful Celestial alignments blesses ALL Life evolving on this sweet Earth. The Festival of Wesak has been celebrated on the Taurus Full Moon for millennia. This year the influx of Light from the Wesak Full Moon is being greatly enhanced by a Lunar Eclipse. The Full Moon occurs at 12:47 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time and the Lunar Eclipse immediately follows at 1:07 P.M. PDT.

 

 The influx of Light involving the Three Full Moon Festivals of Spring begins five days before the actual Full Moons and expand for five days following the Full Moons, so there is plenty of time to assimilate these Gifts of Light from On High.

 

 I know there is some confusion about whether the Wesak Full Moon is the Full Moon of Taurus or the Full Moon of May, but the Company of Heaven has given us some important information that will clear the confusion and help us to experience all of the Gifts that bless Humanity and the Earth during the Three Full Moon Festivals of Spring. As a note of clarity, when I refer to the Full Moon of Aries, the Full Moon of Taurus, and the Full Moon of Gemini, I am talking about the Sun Cycles in which the Full Moons of Spring occur. Please take the following information into the Flame of Truth pulsating in the Divinity of your heart and allow your I AM Presence to reveal to you the Truth of this sacred knowledge.

 

 Springtime begins in the Northern Hemisphere with the Vernal or Spring Equinox. This takes place March 21st or 22nd every year and initiates us into the embrace of the Sun Cycle of Aries. The energies that bathe the Planet during the Celestial alignment of the Equinox pulsate with the Resurrection Flame. This Gift from our Father-Mother God is a resplendent Sacred Fire that has a Mother of Pearl radiance. The Resurrection Flame is the frequency of vibration that awakens the hibernating animals and resurrects the Nature Kingdom back to life after the respite of the long winter months. It is not by chance that the pageant of Passover and Easter took place during the time of year when the Resurrection Flame was in full force.

 

 The first Full Moon following the Spring Equinox is celebrated as the Passover Full Moon. Easter is the first Sunday following the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox. That Full Moon is always the Full Moon in the Sun Cycle of Aries. This is the First Full Moon Festival of Spring and it is the celebration of the Path of Divine Love that was revealed to Humanity through The Christ. Every year during this Full Moon Festival, Jesus The Christ, as well as the exponents of Christ Consciousness and the Path of Divine Love throughout Infinity, bathe the Planet with Divine Love and the sacred knowledge revealing the Oneness of ALL Life. This annual influx of Divine Love and Christ Consciousness has been occurring for millennia and has been instrumental in Humanity’s awakening process.

 

The Second Full Moon Festival of Spring is the Wesak Festival. This is the Full Moon that occurs in the Sun Cycle of Taurus. During this Celestial alignment the Christ and the Buddha join forces to bless the Earth and Humanity with their sacred Gifts. The Christ Light is the embodiment of Divine Love within which every particle of Life lives, moves, breathes, and has its Being. The Buddha Light is the Divine Wisdom, the Enlightenment, that emanates from the Love of God. The Wesak Full Moon Festival is designed to bring the Love of Christ and the Wisdom of Buddha into a sacred space of Oneness within the hearts and minds of Humanity.

 

During the Wesak Full Moon people around the world focus on the Wisdom and Enlightenment of Buddhic Consciousness brought to Earth by Gautama Buddha. Every year thousands of pilgrims travel to the Wesak Valley deep in the Himalaya Mountains of Tibet during the Full Moon of Taurus to hold the sacred space for the return and blessings of the Buddha.

 

The Third Full Moon Festival of Spring is celebrated during the Full Moon that occurs in the Sun Cycle of Gemini. This Festival is known as The Goodwill Festival of Humanity. During this Full Moon, the Divine Love of Christ and the Divine Wisdom of Buddha, which have been building in momentum since the two previous Full Moon Festivals, are intensified and greatly expanded through the Mental and Emotional Strata of Earth. This influx of Light enhances Humanity’s ability to unify our hearts and minds with the Divine Heart and Mind of our Father-Mother God. This year the Good Will Festival of Humanity will take place during the Full Moon in Gemini on May 25, 2013. This Full Moon will also be greatly enhanced by a Lunar Eclipse.

 

On rare occasions there will be two Full Moons during one Sun Cycle. This happens because a Full Moon occurs every 28 days and the Sun Cycles last between 28 and 31 days depending on which months are involved in each cycle. When a second Full Moon occurs in a Sun Cycle it is known as a Blue Moon and it is considered a wonderful bonus. A Blue Moon greatly enhances the activities of Light that were initiated with the first Full Moon of that particular Sun Cycle.

 

The reason there is so much confusion about the timing of the Wesak Festival is because of some decisions that were made in 1950 at the first Conference of the World Fellowship of Buddhists which was held in Sri Lanka. During that conference the Buddhists decided to make the Full Moon in the Month of May a Public Holiday to honor Buddha. Since the Wesak Festival focuses on Buddha many people began combining the Wesak Festival with the Public Holiday during the Full Moon of May. Unfortunately, that decision disregarded the other two, very important, Full Moon Festivals of Spring.

 

In Truth, anytime people open their hearts and invoke the blessings of Buddha, he will be there in his full regal Presence. So whether or not the Wesak Festival falls on the Full Moon of May in a particular year, Buddha will bless all who turn their attention to him and invoke the Light of God. The reason the Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth are reiterating the information about the Three Full Moon Festivals of Spring is not to dispute our present belief systems, but to enhance what we know so we can benefit from ALL of the opportunities we are given throughout the year to add to the Light of the world. This knowledge is intended to accelerate our Ascension process.  The Three Full Moon Festivals of Spring are among the most powerful opportunities given to us through Earth’s annual Celestial alignments.

 

Please do not let these opportunities pass you by. During these powerful Full Moon Festivals, listen to your heart. Invoke the Light of God and focus on the patterns of perfection you want to cocreate with our Father-Mother God on the recently Birthed New Earth we are all abiding upon.

 

When you are in a state of Listening Grace, feel the Gratitude pouring forth from our Father-Mother God and the Company of Heaven in appreciation of your willingness to add to the Light of the World. You are Blessed beyond your knowing!

Happy Birthday May 2nd. You are a The 4 of Wands!

May 2nd ….Where YOU born today?! Your personal Playing Card is 4 of Clubs. What does that mean in the Tarot Cards? Your personality reflects your personal tarot card which is a combination of your astrology sign, regular playing card, Tarot Card Suites and numbers. This Tarot Card is YOUR PERSONAL CARD for this lifetime. It will never change as long as you are alive.


Happy Birthday. YOU ARE the 4 of WANDS–The Relaxation Card
You are one of the happiest cards in the Minor Arcana. You are someone who works very hard and is able to manifest your dreams on the earth plane. Your friendships and social contacts are a direct result of your own reflection.

You are a four. That means:
You are grounded, realistic, committed, reserved, hard-working (just like your card says) and security conscious (just like your card says.)

You are a WAND. That means:
People belonging to the Wands may be in love with words. They love communication and writing. Are you an author or have dreams of being an author? You have the ability to manifest your dreams so dream on!

If today is not your birthday, your important Daily Tarot Card Message is:
Security Due to Success due to Hard Work…It is a good time to crank up your career. Then take time to sit back, relax and have some fun. Enjoy your successes. Work had, play harder!!

Today is a day in which much enjoyment and pleasure can be found through social interaction and inner joy. You have “paid your dues” with hard work and now it is time to “party hard” in your own special way. Pat your self on the back. Congratulate yourself on a job well done. Even if it is not completely finished, the beginning is complete, and sometimes getting started is the hardest part of any task. You are now moving into the next part of your career. Celebrate the success of each small step and the chore of total success will be less daunting and far more enjoyable. Smile, this is your luck day!

9 Steps to Overcome The Current Challenges of Parenting: Bombings in Boston

The recent bombings in Boston have brought many emotions and challenges to the forefront of our daily lives.  Adults still recovering from the trauma are asking themselves, “How do we explain to our children what and why this has happened? Is their childhood now over, forever? What about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? How do we answer our children’s questions about people hurting other happy people on purpose?” These are important questions in need of serious answers.  

I turned to an expert from Boston in the field of Family Therapy named Terry J. Basile to help us get our children back on the road to healthy mental, emotional and physical recovery. Her insights can help us rise above this crisis and continue with our lives in a positive way.

As a child I would ride the train to Boston and like Dorothy I would enter my magical Emerald City.  The smell of the train, the crisp air and the hurrying crush of people were exciting.  I should have been scared by the differences from the quiet suburb I grew up in but always felt safe because I was holding my mom’s hand.  Now with the recent bombings in Boston, I am having a hard time maintaining that innocent memory.  I wonder how we keep our children feeling safe in what we know more than ever is an unsafe world. How do we hold their “emotional” and “spiritual” hand through a national  tragedy or natural disaster?

As a therapist working with children and trauma I know that  how we respond to a traumatic event is crucial in reducing the short and long term effects of the event on our young.

 So let’s first talk about how we need to deal with our own feelings in order to help our children.    

·         Often after these events we feel tired, distracted, angry, helpless and unsafe ourselves. No matter how depressed we feel, we need to activate emotional support through contact with family, friends, nature or our spiritual beliefs.

·         It is not a time to take on big changes at home or work. Allow some of your usual scheduled household tasks to slide. 

·         Spend your time instead snuggling with the kids, playing board games or any family activity. Even though it might feel disrespectful to an adult, it is ok to laugh at your son’s silly jokes. This reassures him that life will continue as it was and that you will be ok too. 

·         Keep discussion of current events simple.

·         Answer questions truthfully but with limited information.  How many people died is not important information. ‘Why’ is far too complicated to address in terms of mental illness or politics. Yet you can acknowledge that a terrible event happened and people were hurt.

·         Confirm that they are safe now and that you will do whatever you can to keep it that way.

·         Always be sure to have a conversation about feelings. This is a “teaching” moment.

·         Lead by example. Your model stating that it is good to talk and express feelings is a valuable tool for their life.

In my book Let’s Color Your Feelings! I use colors and animals to help parents  encourage children 4 + to share and positively express themselves. For example the book says” …  on a Red Dragon Angry Day a child might need lots of room to run and play”. Help your child discover where in their body they hold their feelings. Then give them some ideas to release them. Some kids go outside and roar like a dragon or take a deep breath, then blow out all the ‘yucky feelings’. It depends on the style of your child. Some will know exactly what they need to do, but others will need you to give them options. Include them in the decision. You can create your own colors and animals and make up a language of feelings. This is something helpful to use every day and is valuable to have in place in times of crisis.

The most important thing to remember is that children are not little adults.

·         Do not expect them to deal with trauma the way you do.

While they may want all the latest toys, the quality of their relationship with you sets up valuable patterns for the rest of their life. Give them the gift of your time, undivided attention and love. It’s the one they will remember and treasure.

I thank Terry Basile, my guest blogger, for her time and insights into this difficult reality that is now a part in the United States of America. Boston is the heart and birthplace of our country. Our heart is broken but not destroyed. And although some of our freedom is lost, the unity we have as American people continues in our ability to comfort and guide each other with wisdom and emotional support during our times of need and strife. Our children are our future. Let’s keep our future strong.
