happy beltane baby and happy sacred feminine mysteries day too

scientific side note: the electro magnetic fields of the earth apparently are also undergoing changes. some report distortions. these alterations are effecting our ability to think clearly, and some are finding they are experiencing more fatigue, as in needing to go to bed earlier, or take naps on a regular basis. memory lapses seem to be the most obvious affliction across the board. all ages.
at least there is a reason for all this forgetting other than aging or mind disorders.

BELTANE has got to be the best Age of Taurus holiday creation.
and Mother's day is another day to remember the Great Sacred Feminine Mysteries of the Inner Temple

make an altar for Beltane and on Mother's day with crystal, stones, candles and rocks and a clear bowl of water

light candle,
meditate on the complete silence of existence
clear all thoughts, worries or concerns,
emptiness
breathe deeply 3 times, in and out, evenly
relax, be comfortable in your body
move now into your body field, and send your energy down into the earth to touch the core, it may take a few moments to get there,
when there, notice and observe, open to any non-verbal messages or core transmissions and then make your way back and return.

you've touched the earth mother
you have connected.

the earth is our home.
our body is our home.

blessed be

Neptune, Vivaldi and the Aquarian Influence Part ll

(if you haven't read part One preceding this Blog - its called "Water, Energy Medicine and the Spiritual Influences of Neptune - there is a Water Meditation there that may interest - return to BLOG and it is two down from this entry)

ok ---- ---->>>> Two weeks ago it was raining fat wet drops and we free-associated on my radio show, The Aquarian Hour, into a beautiful water meditation with Vivaldi's Four Seasons singing in the background.
We also went over the morning's planetary alignment and checked out the essential nature of each of the Zodiacal Archetypes highlighted for the Day.

Rain and Water - and Aquarius, the main theme.
- Neptune, Venus, Mercury, Sun and the Nodes were all in Aquarius.

while speaking on water - one of those intuitive blasts takes over - Vivaldi the 18thc
composer is definitely influenced by Aquarius!!! First - his music is being played for the first time on The Aquarian Hour during the month of February when the Sun rises in Aquarius. Second, I suddenly just downloaded Vivaldi the week before.

Surprised to find renewed pleasure in the Four Seasons again. Just as i had done long long ago when i was in my 20's and my English ex-husband Lincoln Collins and i played Vivaldi just about every single Sunday in our little old but sunny NYC floor-thru apartment on Perry St in the West Village. We put Four Seasons on mid morning and it kept playing until mid afternoon.... we would brunch, usually on bagels with the works, and read the Sunday Times, chill, and both quietly merge into the vibrant qualities of the music. Uplifting and restorative.

Recommended Vivaldi for teens and young adults especially. Giving a gift of Vivaldi to young adults is a good idea for raising the frequency of inner joy.

Aquarius, an air sign, is associated with the unusual, humanitarian influences, revolutionary attitudes, an inventive ability, plus those with a futuristic orientation. The ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, planet of sudden change, insight, and breaking through into new territory. Add Neptune in Aquarius to the mix and we stream in the waters, of the ocean, and water, in general.

Looking up Vivaldi's chart on the internet during The Hour and its says Vivaldi was born with three points in Aquarius, Venus, Mars and Neptune! Moreover, it turns out Vivaldi was having a Neptune RETURN! Both Neptune today and Neptune in 1723 was travelling in the sign of Aquarius.

In the near future, when Neptune moves into Pisces in 4/2011 we will never again experience Neptune in Aquarius in our lifetimes. Yet for sure, we can experience Neptune in Aquarius from other lifetimes, yes, through the inspirational music, art, architecture and literature created from those times.
Actually knowledge of a planetary return could be the basis for planning the best time for a revival of different artistic episodes of antiquity.

In conclusion, after reading a bit on Vivaldi on the Wikipedia sight, Vivaldi was considered to have broken through to a new level of music previously unknown before and as such was true to the radical unusual futuristic Aquarian ground-breaking influence promised in his natal chart.

full eclipse coming this 2/20 - we can see it!

"The full Moon is going to get totally eclipsed on the night of February 20–21, putting on a gorgeous show as it glides through Earth's shadow. Skywatchers in nearly the entire Western Hemisphere will get an excellent view.

In the Americas, the eclipse happens during convenient evening hours on Wednesday, the 20th, when people are up and about. In the time zones of Europe and West Africa, the eclipse happens during the early-morning hours of Thursday, the 21st.

Earth’s shadow will totally engulf the Moon from 10:00 to 10:52 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, or 7:00 to 7:52 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, as shown at lower right. The partial phases of the eclipse last for about an hour and a quarter before and after totality.

Unlike a solar eclipse, each stage of a lunar eclipse is visible to everyone on the Moon-facing side of Earth at once; we’re all looking together."

Water, Energy Medicine and the Spiritual Influences of Neptune Part 1

It was raining big fat wet watery drops this morning at 8am as i presented The Aquarian Hour at the community, non-profit radio station where i host a weekly Tuesday morning program. I was totally unprepared in any way for this morning's show.

Then again, other than finding the most beautiful music to air, the less preparation for my radio program, the less preset-info to distract from a free-association-platform.
Some programmers account for every minute and present a very polished show.
Winging it entirely is like invoking the Muses as soon as i begin to say,
"Good morning, this is Forest, and you are listening to The Aquarian Hour."

ABOUT THE WATER
Ok so this morning, we have rain instead of heavy snows and ice, and so naturally the topic opens to a fairly unknown process of absorbing the qualities of water.

A discourse begins on the ancient methods of DzogChen, a highly evolved metaphysical Tibetan spiritual path that i had studied years ago. i had sort of forgotten about this practice until reminded by a sweet passage in a book, "Eat, Pray, Love" where a medicine man in Bali employs a similar method of contemplation every evening.

For cleansing, nourishment and renewal, this ancient healing practice is designed to allow the practitioner to merge with the essences of each of the elements on earth, one at a time - including, wind, water, earth, fire and the 5th element is typically defined as either - space or ether or light or metal.

The DzogChen teachings also include chanting the Tibetan names for each element while absorbing their qualities. The belief is this practice is a way to achieve an internal/external balance, and a mystical spiritual unity through a blending of one's consciousness into the subtle vibrational frequencies of elements found within our natural universe.

New Water Meditation, by Forest

......as we inhale and exhale slow and deep, we imagine clearly our floating on our backs easily as though like a dream, floating down a river, splashing waters, and now we are allowing the waters to the touch us inside and we feel a lively spiraling sun-lit river vibrantly coursing through our systems, and see how it is replenishing our blood and ionizing our organs with fresh sparkling happy water, ...................................
............................................
..............and now.............we enter another dimension in consciousness...
we are merging into tiny particles of water.....and now

we are liquid!

we are mist

we are the moisture in the atmosphere!



we can actually feel our dna strands spiraling brighter


a new reality has been created with an over-the air meditation on The Aquarian Hour and all the while Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", a magnificent work of violin music totally dedicated to the glory of nature, is playing softly in the background.


more on Vilvaldi and Neptune to be continued next post!
