Owl Energies

Posted on by

When I went out side last night, drawn out by a strange hooting in the backyard, two owls flew out of the garden.  Looking up, I saw one perched on the plant hanger.  She observed me for a while and then flew off.  I got my camera, intrigued by the energy that had called them there.  Below are some shots of that energy, as it first appeared, then as it faded away:

We were watching the fireworks, and I decided to take some picture as I have a fireworks setting on my camera.  The fireworks came out great, but I was surprised to see that some of the light elements decided that they wanted to be a part of the production!

Your Focus Muscle

Posted on by

Things today can get pretty crazy, however if you are grounded and focused, you can actually accomplish quite a lot.  Focus is the key to many things these days.  In Taoism, Buddhism, and Neo-Confucianism, they speak of a single-minded focus.  Single-minded focus, in itself, is somewhat difficult to achieve, but, with practice, you can find yourself able to center in on your desire without falling into all the myriad distractions that are always out there vying for attention.

To gain focus, I have developed an easy and relatively quick exercise for your ‘Focus Muscle’.  Think of a particular intention, item, or goal you are wishing to achieve or create.  Around that item, as you think of it, there will be other things popping up their heads and asking for their own bit of attention.  Rather than trying to negate these or otherwise ignore them — mainly because, you know that never works, rather it has just the opposite result and that is to bring that item to the forefront — what you need to do is to engage your internal spotlight.

Take a moment and just have a sense of what a spotlight is and what it does. Basically a spotlight is a really, really bright light that is used to show up what is most important in a given scene.  So, go within and just imagine a spotlight.  Play with it for a bit, and get an idea of how it works.  Once you are in control of that internal spotlight, it is time to put it to work.  Think of what it is that you are wishing to create in your life.  As you do, you will see those sneaky little distractions beginning to sneak up into the foreground.  This is the time to use your focus muscle and turn that spotlight on.  Send the beam of light to your true intention.  All the other stuff will disappear into the background, as your desire moves to the forefront.   There in the light is the thing that you are wanting to bring into your life.

This does not mean that the distractions are totally gone or that they have ceased, rather it is a way of acknowledging go to yourself that what is truly important is the intention that is having light shone upon it.  This need not be a long practice or particularly laborious.  Start with short intervals, and with time, you will discover that your “focus muscle” is much stronger, and little by little your real intentions take center stage.

Overall Color for the Week:    Sky Blue

This is a week of unknowns.  But you can expect some of those unknowns to become known.  This an cause a lot of distress for some people and relief for others.  It is important in these days, as always, to stay centered in WHO you are and to be grounded and aware in all that you do.  There is new energy coming in and it has the potential to pull the rug out from some time-honored things.  Stay aware and be guarded in your relationships with people.  Take time to see the big picture before making any decisions or judgments, and do not be surprised by some of this week’s happenings.  Know also that some of those people who are working so hard to form your opinion according to their own agendas are only doing so for their own good, and they have no real care for you as a person.  Also it is a good time now to back up your files on a regular basis and make sure that you have in duplication anything that is dependent solely on electronic file.  The galactic oddity that I have mentioned previously is making itself felt more and more.  Do you really think that TV signals caused the supply ship to miss its rendezvous with the space station?

Overall Color for the Week:    Snow White

This is a week of ‘finally’s’.  Finally things will get done.   Finally things will come to a conclusion.  Finally you will understand some of the things that have been bugging you for so long.  There are answers and solutions in the air, but do not expect them all to be just what you were desiring.  The underlying energies of this time bring both resolution and upheaval, so there is a good possibility that some of those finally’s will be openings to more processes and possibilities.

Overall Color for the Week:    Bright Green

Things are growing both below the surface and above it.  Look to your relationships for there will be things left unsaid and undone.  These can sprout into misunderstandings in the future if you are not careful to address them when they arise.  If you find yourself in a situation in which you are feeling trapped or taken advantage of. acknowledge the situation to yourself and to those around you, and then get out of it.  The energies are such now that it is important the people be aware of just what you know and how much you know.  This is a week in which you can feel your own power expanding.  It is important to work with that and not allow yourself to be belittled by ignored. Everyone is likewise in a situation of bewilderment, and no one person’s questions are more valuable than another’s.  Always remember, that you are in charge of yourself and take time this week for a it of self care and self love.  Let the others do their thing.  Once you are strong and centered in WHO you are, you will be better able to deal with things around you.
