I read two different books on my last business trip to California. I took along a copy of The Secret and a very different book by Caroline Myss, Entering the Castle. I'm pretty sure that Myss would find The Secret to be an example of materialism masquerading as spiritual development. She has a point, but I still found The Secret to be a valuable wake-up call about the amount of negative internal self-chatter that I have running around in my head.
So I did a little experiment. I started doing a simple affirmation when I was running behind to a physical therapy appointment for my shoulder about two weeks ago. I caught myself saying "I'm going to be late..." as I sped out the driveway. So I stopped and ran a very different bit of internal dialog: "I'm always on time; I'm always safe..." And I was. I continued the trial in California traffic last week ("always on time; always safe"). And traffic just smoothed out all week.
My visualizations have taken a different context since I’ve been home. I’ve integrated imaging my goals and plans as part of my morning centering ritual. This week’s a magnificent opportunity for all of us. There’s a massive kite that should enable us to transform base nature (Saturn) with the power of the Divine (Neptune) channeled through the Grand Trine in Fire of the Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn. I’m psyched...
