Om shanti shanti shanti
Love, light, and peace to all of you!

"Hello, June. Surprise me..."

    Any day can surprise us if we are open to its possibilities! The question is...(you know what's coming)...are you open? The next time you are about to say no to an invitation or an opportunity, pause and reconsider, why not? There may be some very good responses to that second question, in which case one should be applauded for sticking with their gut reaction. But, what if you don't have a response to the "why not"? Try asking yourself, "what's the worst thing that could happen?"

So, having determined how we can assess our receptivity, what would you like June to surprise you with? I get surprises are supposed to embrace an unknown quality, however, if you believe in your ability to manifest the "surprises" you would like to have, you will surprisingly be surprised each time they appear!

“I am no longer cursed by poverty because I took possession of my own mind, and that mind has yielded me every material thing I want, and much more than I need. But this power of the mind is a universal one, available to the humblest person as it is to the greatest.” ~Andrew Carnegie

FEATURED HEALING STONE:  Aquamarine
by Maryann Sanfilipp, Crystal Writer Extraordinaire
 
As we are experiencing the unseasonable warmth that usually occurs much later in the season, I thought it might be wise to examine a stone with cooling and calming properties.  Aquamarine is just the stone to fit the bill!
 
Aquamarine evokes the purity and relaxation of the sea.  Ancient legend believed it to be the treasure of mermaids and a stone of eternal youth and happiness.  Its name comes from Latin meaning “water of the sea” and it was used by sailors to provide protection and fearlessness.
 
These beautiful gemstones are good for all types of cooling and calming, from hot flashes to anger.  In addition, they activate the throat chakra assisting in the communication of one’s highest truth.  It is one of the best stones to employ when communication issues are complex.
 
Aquamarine helps to balance excessive anger or fear and can assist in clearing patterns caused by past emotional, physical or verbal abuse. It can help to provide closure on all levels.
 
Some of the benefits include: facilitating communication, assisting in releasing old patterns of behavior, clearing stagnant energy, countering infection especially that of the throat, healing of inflammatory diseases, quieting the nervous system and helping to curb allergy symptoms.
 
Aquamarine is a stone we can utilize all summer to bring cooling and calming into our world, especially if the current weather conditions are any indication of the days to come.
 

 
 

FEATURED QUOTE:

“Dare to dream! If you did not have the capability to make your wildest wishes come true, your mind would not have the capacity to conjure such ideas in the first place. There is no limitation on what you can potentially achieve, except for the limitation you choose to impose on your own imagination. What you believe to be possible will always come to pass - to the extent that you deem it possible. It really is as simple as that.” ― Anthon St. Maarten

     For me, May begins the onset of a bunch of changes. With my son graduating from high school this month, we move forward on a path that leads straight to Butler University...Go Bulldogs! My calendar is already stockpiled with summer appointments, like wisdom teeth removal and college physicals, as well as celebrations, college orientation, and getaways. I am only filled with excitement as each days unfolds into something new and will make sure to keep you all informed as to yoga schedule changes that will crop up. Usually, I do this on a monthly basis but will go as far forward as getting Adam moved into school so you can adjust your calendars as well.
     I have already subbed out classes to Terry and Jennifer (thanks you guys!) but some will need to be cancelled as well. A few will be cancelled due to on-goings at Healing Arts in Batavia this summer, but I am working on some more fun field trips including... paddle board yoga, Top Golf, kirtan and more:) Most of the cancelled classes are in July...please see schedule below.
    To stay informed, you must open (and read!) my monthly newsletters or check my website for information. www.inspiredbyearth.com
     I am always open to field trip ideas so send me whatever pops into your head!

FEATURED HEALING STONE:  Moonstone
by Maryann Sanfilipp, Crystal Writer Extraordinaire
 
As we are still awaiting the true arrival of spring, we can focus on another stone of new beginnings---moonstone.  As suggested by its name, moonstone is strongly connected to the moon and to intuition, making it a perfect stone for May. 
 
Every month the moon waxes and wanes reminding us of the cycles of life that we experience.  The tides and the rhythms of the earth are also governed by the moon.  In addition, moon cycles affect the inhabitants of the earth, both animal and human.  We can look at the effects the full moon is believed to have on the strange behaviors of both.  The term “lunatic” comes from the supposed influence of the moon. 
 
Moonstone promotes intuition and empathy and encourages lucid dreaming especially at the time of the full moon.  It is a powerful stone for psychic awareness and intuition.  It allows one to become open to guidance from higher beings, enhancing communications with them and applying them at the appropriate time. 
 
The frequency of moonstone assists in clearing the aura, activating the sixth and seventh chakras as well as the central chakric column of energy.
 
Some of the benefits include: calming the emotions, releasing frustrations and enhancing patience and objectivity.  It is also helpful to the digestive system, reproductive system and can relieve symptoms of PMS.  A moonstone elixir was traditionally used for insomnia and to prevent sleepwalking. 
 
It is definitely a beautiful stone for this time of year.
