July 26th, 2015 Issue #117 The Iris The Body Glyphix Studio Greetings! I have been feeling much gratitude to all of you for your support over the years. You have made the Studio what it is today. People from all over the US have come to our humble Studio for their health. It’s your recommendations that have made a difference. A “Heart-felt” Thank You to each and every one of you!! RARE: SIX PLANETARY RETROGRADES ...Hold onto your chakras...are you ready for the last week of July? Why? Well we are about to experience SIX planetary bodies all in retrograde motion relative to Earth. That triggers a lot of going over old ground and getting meticulous in all of our dealings. And that's good for you... LOOK INTO THE DETAILS It's rare that we have so many planetary bodies in retrograde motion at once (and beginning this weekend until early August) it's the ONE week of 2015 where we need to carefully consider each step, as we wipe the slate clean and stand on our own two feet! Perhaps you already feel like nearly every area of your life is being reviewed? Good, it probably is. The more you can clean up your act right now the better, while the planets are supporting us to leave no stone unturned. STOP EATING SO MUCH SUGAR! (Please) Sugar is worse than eating nothing at all. Sugar drains your body of vitamins and minerals. Sugar places a high demand on your entire system. Sugar messes up your digestion - your body's ability to process and absorb nutrients. Sugar messes up your elimination - your body's ability to have normal bowel movements. Sugar messes up your ability to detoxify - your body's ability to get rid of toxins that can harm you. Sugar ages you. Sugar feeds cancer. Refined sugar should be classified as a poison because it is highly addictive and it has been depleted of all its life forces. _______________________________________________________________________________________ What is Karma? Karma is the Sanskrit word for action. It is equivalent to Newton’s law of ‘every action must have a reaction’. When we think, speak or act we initiate a force that will react accordingly. This returning force maybe modified, changed or suspended, but most people will not be able eradicate it. This law of cause and effect is not punishment, but is wholly for the sake of education or learning. A person may not escape the consequences of his actions, but he will suffer only if he himself has made the conditions ripe for his suffering. Ignorance of the law is no excuse whether the laws are man-made or universal. To stop being afraid and to start being empowered in the worlds of karma and reincarnation, here is what you need to know about karmic laws. 1. The Great Law “As you sow, so shall you reap.” This is also known as the “Law of Cause and Effect.” If what we want is happiness, peace, love, and friendship, then we should BE happy, peaceful, loving and a true friend. Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us. 2. The Law of Creation Life doesn’t just happen. It requires our participation. We are one with the Universe, both inside and out. Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state. Be yourself, and surround yourself with what you want to have in your life. 3. The Law of Humility You can’t change something if you refuse to accept it. If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative, then we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence. 4. The Law of Growth “Wherever you go, there you are.” For us to grow in Spirit, it is we who must change, and not the people, places or things around us. The only given we have in our lives is ourselves, and that is the only factor we have control over. When we change who and what we are within our hearts, our lives follow suit and change too. 5. The Law of Responsibility Whenever there is something wrong in my life, there is something wrong in me. We mirror what surrounds us, and what surrounds us mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth. We must take responsibility for what is in our life. 6. The Law of Connection Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected. Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on. Someone must do the initial work to get a job done. Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance, as they were both needed to accomplish the task. Past, Present and Future are all connected. 7. The Law of Focus You cannot think of two things at the same time. Because of this, when our focus is on Spiritual Values, it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as greed or anger. 8. The Law of Giving and Hospitality If you believe something to be true, then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth. Here is where we put what we CLAIM that we have learned into actual PRACTICE. 9. The Law of Here and Now Looking backward to examine what was or forward to worry about the future prevents us from being totally in the here and now. Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, and old dreams prevent us from having new ones. 10. The Law of Change History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path. 11. The Law of Patience and Reward All rewards require initial toil. Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil. True joy comes from doing what we’re supposed to be doing, and knowing that the reward will come in its own time. 12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration You get back from something whatever you have put into it. The true value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it. Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole. Lackluster contributions have no impact on the Whole, nor do they work to diminish it. Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire, the Whole. Look for a Workshop/ Meditation on Karma and Reincarnation this year! A Meditation from Victor my Friend from Maya Tulum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGr0EvRoFoc if you are viewing this~ I have experienced all that you see at this amazing resort Jewelweed Broth Not only is this a tasty cold soup for summertime, it is a superior remedy for poison ivy rash. Sipping 2-4 cups of jewelweed broth, hot or cold, will quell both skin and joint inflammation. Harvest jewelweed (Impatiens pallida or canadensis) by pulling every 4th or 5th plant up by the roots. We are using the entire plant. The redder the root, the more effective this remedy. At home, rinse your jewelweed and place it, roots and all, in a pan, pressing it down very well. Add just enough cold water to barely cover the jewelweed and bring to a boil. Simmer, covered, until the water is orange. Cool, then refrigerate or pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Jewelweed is the companion to poison ivy and can always be found within 25 feet of it. Should you brush against poison ivy- look for the antidote Jewelweed. God put a remedy near every problem …. We have a couple remedies for poison ivy at the Studio…. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Lavender Labyrinth __________________________________________ Why you should stop wearing your shoes in the house http://naturallysavvy.com/live/you-absolutely-need-to-stop-wearing-shoes-in-your-house ______________________________________________________________________________________ YOGA NIDRA~ Meditation Please join Rose for a very special yoga meditation class called Yoga Nidra. This is not your typical mediation~ YN opens up doorways, releases blockages, it heals every organ, bone, muscle etc, it goes DEEP in to ALL levels of consciousness, releasing scars from traumas & abuses we have suffered from in this lifetime and more. Your YN takes you through the veils of life, afterlife, and previous lifetimes. We experience time travel, astro projection and it's also trippy! YN has an emphasis on health and healing where habitual thinking and thought patterns are reduced or eliminated. It also helps with insomnia and stress reduction and brings an incredible calmness, quietness, clarity and is one of the deepest of all meditations. This meditation has a special emphasis on health and healing where habitual thinking and thought patterns are reduced or eliminated and it also helps with insomnia and stress reduction. It also brings an incredible calmness, quietness, clarity and is one of the deepest of all meditations. Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep and is a state of conscious Deep Sleep. In this Meditation, you remain in the Waking state of consciousness, and gently focus the mind, while allowing thought patterns, emotions, sensations, and images to arise and go on. However, in this meditation, you leave the Waking state, go past the Dreaming state, and go to Deep Sleep, yet remain awake. While Yoga Nidra is a state that is very relaxing, it is also used by Yogis to purify the Samskaras (negative energy & thought patterns). YN is also powerful tool for manifesting. It’s also great for insomniacs and those who suffer with PTSD. The class is being held Wednesday, August 5th at 7:30 PM. The fee is $12, pre-registration is a must. Call 652-7805 or email for more information or registration.
